2020 has been an unprecedented time in the gregorian calendar My mind has shown an influx of unrest Like so many people that have been tested and being put to the test I catch myself saying Nothing really matters... toooooo meeee Because everything fucking matters to me. If you been saying black lives don't matter maybe you don't fucking matter If you been saying what's this civil unrest Maybe you been knocked out your whole life filled with privilege? If you been saying, when will the shut the fuck up Maybe you need to simmer down and be locked up? Nothing really matters is a philosophical decree That there's too much insanity on the streets And blocked off the four walls of my mental pedigree Insanity in my mind that why the fuck has nothing mattered for so long that only riots seem to belong in this new decade of tragedy after tragedy The final build up Everyone on fire Burning history To rebuild a new infrastructure Of what it means to compete We all in this race war dividing up the streets And i'm sitting at home watching the mentality of people Still stuck in old white history And they not burning. They still in the lead of what is not leadership But a captain abandoning the ship Like a ratfink on the underbelly of everything that happens in reality We all in mental explosion mode Words can not be screamed off the top of our lungs any louder than when we proud to be this nationality Fuck does nothing really matter? We are not okay.

R.A.C.ISM 03:06
R to the A to the C to the ISM This ain't just an anthem This the situation A to the N to the T to the I Is the movement we moving towards To unite the world schisms Anti-racism is a plague that didn't just come to take us down In the 21st Century Didn't hit when Covid hit the streets All nations seem to be born with this disease Since history became herstory to stories of generations Upon which we breed We all seen it but never been it Some of y'all don't know how it be How it feels to be deemed as the other factor A level above or below general matters Take it for granted Don't experience it til you be the minority Don't gotta travel the world Just travel different hoods Across the street All lives matter Sure why not Not so because all of them don't Just the ones in danger Whose house is on fire While you burning wood over your wood top stove I've been called racist names And experienced the subtleties of how other races think She she ni ni ho ma on the streets The C word hindered me as a kid I'd fight back with words of my own But in the pleasure of company that say, no don't. Now I stand behind those that say yes Say it louder because many of us have been oppressed. Black lives matter more than you think They've been marginalized like the aboriginals of these lands No one has a home We are all born on the same place Why can't we have the same standards And same race Like saying oh yea, it's the human race We see differences and similarities But why hate? Let's all grow up a little shall we please To be more thoughtful Of what's been regulated, police Patrolling the streets to serve and protect But inciting violence and hate speech instead Not everyone like I said Not everyone matters But a lot of us do and that should be a big factor Race religion pedigree politics Just made up systems to fracture our mindsets Let's really listen And look outside Maybe look inside And reset our voices Our mental landscape builds the real thing Physicality ain't violence It's a stance against bigotry. That's all I'm saying WE already been delaying Now it's time And we all relaying the message By playing this worldwide game of relay RElease the race.

Echo Chamber 03:51
In light we born in a freedom manger In dark we wake up in an echo chamber No way out but the light in the tunnel That's no way to live for the final I hear my mind repeat in its patterns Takes me years to go back and realize My minds been filled with the same matters And I'm surprised though I grow a bit each year That I've been building upon my own lines of foundation By what I hear in the echo chamber They say music doesn't matter Just there as the back soundtrack But listen well and you'll be filled by what they rap or rat-a-tat The words matter so much if you drill it Into your subconcious You unwillingly accept it. Never been too hard for them rom-com issues Bridgette Jones or Mister Darcy High life I never been after They say them books matter in fine lit But doesn't light me on fire Give me some asimov or bradbury Better yet my fave some douglas Adams in numbers I want my mind to expand and explore Not be living in the world as in the real world of social disaster I want to know what the world could be like Is it adapted after art ever since the birth of a nation Did futuristic telling and adapting come from art way before When creators created envisions of the future From which today we adapt to? Does it take the vision of a school To be leaders that make the physical factor We are all built up in abilities That most of us don't even chase after. You gotta wonder What is the purpose of birth if we dreaming about life after? I hear ye- the voices in song, in pages, in film I say heal-me from the dredgery of this reality We chase after dreams And they so individual that it becomes indivisible That we all after one common goal in this echo chamber. But the echoes are too loud and many To really hone in on a zone you want to take after I'm still tripping sometimes feeling trapped But I'm still on this ride called life There may not be so much movement in my physical But the physics in my brain are all I chase after To understand something, anything about what drives us apart From each other Collectively to come together At moments of tragedy rather than joy and surprise of a life that matters. In dark we die in a freedom manger To release the light we wake up in an echo chamber No way out but the light in the tunnel How to not go out like a sucka.
