Sea Level Is High
• Written by LeslieReed
Wine in my head, spilled thoughts on the page, wine red in the rage, call that vintage age
Wine glass shattered, time passed battered, rhyme class scattered, lines stitched on the stage
I’m on a mission, position be flippin’, composition the vision, opposition be missin’
Switchin’ positions, transition the diction, addition of friction, addiction’s affliction
Sea level is high, pressure pushin’ my lungs, but I rise in my heels, yeah I breathe when I’m sung
Stilettos to the sky, metaphors in the night, I’m the goddess of the tide, makin’ darkness ignite
Sea level is high, waves crash with the beat, but the sea that I see make the cycle complete
Yes the sea level’s high, yes I see level’s high, but the level I’m on make the heavens comply
Head in the clouds, head spinnin’ from crown, head heavy with sound, head buried in ground
Bed full of sins, bed stories begin, bed comfort is thin, bed remind me I win
Glass full of pain, glass break in the rain, glass mirror the brain, glass shatter the chain
Class never taught, class lines that I fought, class raised what I bought, class erased what I thought
Wine in my veins, line with the chains, fine with the stains, shine in the flames
Mission be coded, ambition be loaded, ignition exploded, tradition corroded
Switch in the beat, stitch rhythm in heat, pitch venom and eat, snitch never repeat
Composition be holy, demolition be solely, intuition control me, recognition console me
Sea level is high, yeah my rise never low, every tide that I ride is a crown that I show
See level is high, see the devil is sly, but I dance in the fire, still refuse to comply
Yes sea level is high, yes I’m seein’ the lie, but my level too fly, make the storm say goodbye
Sea level is high, every wave is my stage, and the sea that I see is my infinite page
