Still Green

No one told em it’s sweet

Was still green, so I dove in it deep

Closing that leap

They was just napping, they shoulda dozed until they froze in their dreams

No one told em it’s sweet

Was still green, so I dove in it deep

Closing that leap

They was just napping, they shoulda dozed until they froze in their dreams

 

Nobody saw the path, all of em blindfolded

Ain’t no search for life when your own line's loaded

Where a few dudes might lose loot, but bagged truth

That ain’t major, but still

What I grasp, I grasp barely


Once was gold, now it's rarely

I sense, it bears value


Even if, it ain't clearly


What define these fences?


Are they coded or tactile?


Could you, show me


There is lack, in style

Lucid in the back of a Lyft

Chauffeur tossed a notion and we nodded with the same shit


Everything’s about what hits, everybody hunting that shift


Options bred by the market, sedated when we grinds


No craving to rise or meditate like what a thinker would try

Who questioned the dollar signs, yet these lessons boxed in a compact shrine

Glass lit up to sell design, persuasion feeds us not to pry or even sight it as we align


I thanked the man, gave a nod, stepped out contemplating odds


If he’d ever spilled like that to another squad?


Fate or harmonized destiny?


Ideas wrestled in my cognitive treasury


Shared by another's empathy


Ego trip or modest legacy?

 

No one told em it’s sweet

Was still green, so I dove in it deep

Closing that leap

They was just napping, they shoulda dozed until they froze in their dreams

No one told em it’s sweet

Was still green, so I dove in it deep

Closing that leap

They was just napping, they shoulda dozed until they froze in their dreams

 

Faded at a dive bar in Derby


Barely caught her name, started talking and she caught me as worthy


Dropped a couple tabs, next we're tounging in the cab to her journey


Dance on my lap while playing some classic track


Her encore act went risqué as she tried to do some play


But then she said “only these lips are for kissing, now baby hit this”


So I lit it, ponderin how anyone missed this

Proof or conviction?


Lust ain’t holy but she moanin like she’s caught religion


My sole known living is the prism


Skeptic or submission?


Outcomes are infinite


Still we live pre-written


Could you, show me


Where existence thins?

Penned, bout the odyssey,

But never tallied the wins


I sense, it bears meaning


Or that maybe, I ain’t in the mix


This is the next era’s phase

I be floating through a maze


So we don’t spot the cage


Tied to some faith

Shaped by the age


Yeah, this is the modern play

 

No one told em it’s sweet

Was still green, so I dove in it deep

Closing that leap

They was just napping, they shoulda dozed until they froze in their dreams

No one told em it’s sweet

Was still green, so I dove in it deep

Closing that leap

They was just napping, they shoulda dozed until they froze in their dreams
