(ELDER ORANGE)
Jump back
Back into the skin you crawl out every time the world attacks

No path
Constant misdirection got your neighbors turned to strangers
Masked, endangered - cut the eye contact

You can't say the race is over
when the rules change all the time
and is there a plague of mind and morals
waiting at the finish line?

(When I get off this fucking island)
I'm swapping out the lens

(When I get off this fucking island)
Breath more and bitch less

(When I get off this fucking island)
Well I'm making my escape

When I get off this fucking island....

(IAME)
Roll call
Sup with y’all
Been trying to keep in touch
To contact trace whenever touch involved
Jade Relics ain’t the ones to fuck with y’all
Take it how you want
Perhaps we harmless or perhaps you’re being warned
Either or
Keep informed
Read more (paywall)
Devoid of any ordinary
Contact with the world of many
Never been the more the merrier type
Too excited, little terrier bite
All I see is carriers and barriers
From aerial sight
Whether that’s birds eye or drone footage
Comb through this
I can see my home from here
And the moat I dug around it
Neighbors drowning
I’d help ‘em out but
All I see is carriers and barriers
And burial sites
It’s terrible, right? (true)
Working on me
Working to breathe
Married to the game of self-blame
Never flirt with reprieve
Got a sidepiece in judging others
Behave as they please
In the face of disease
No mask-ass
Covering they face when they sneeze (I gotta bless you)
This topic exhausting
Before we link
I’mma make you see the process of sausage made
Something like the slaughter of hostages
We all in this together
Wouldn’t be an obvious takeaway
But fuck it
Long as you post your obnoxious hot takes today
I’ll do the same, I’m doing it now
Before social media had my pad & pen
Hit the cypher downtown
Share my status then
While others battling for clout
I searched for something deeper
Something I still haven’t found
Can almost make out its features

Been in the darkness
I’m not new to this, nah
Bane with the darkness, born in it
But when I close my eyes see a brighter day
Where homies get together
Don’t have to hide they face, smile away
When I get off this island it’s a holiday
When I get off this island it’s a holiday
I dream of the day
No longer castaway
They divide by caste, class and race
Sing this refrain with us
For it’s a passageway

ALL MY PEOPLE LIVING AS ONE, ALL THAT IS ONE (x4)
