The Future - Kirk Knight, The Mind

Bridge:

What if we are shadows

Like versions of ourselves

What if we fight battles

(?) looking for something else

When you dream, do you dream in colours

You see the world for what it is

Empty space, in this time, I’ll be fine (If I, If I)

Go back to the future

Seen it all, done it all, rise and fall

Ima still be here in the future

Benevolent and heaven scented

How I was born onto earth

Adversary, a provider from God

I’m sorry to scare you (?)

Before I even grown to be 20

Blessings of adolescence

I made before, fine dimes and pretty pennies

Always putting my two cents in

So a nigga always watch what they say

But on the contrary, a nigga just see what the blend is

Feeding me happiness through a straw

Commissary blessings

But that ain’t enough to boost for what I’m going through

Childhood friends passing away like fresh morning dew

Every day my mind is laced, strapped up

Protection on waists of Rugrats

Tryna find angelic sounds in this place

We shot for the stars, and we ended up with (?)

The color blue

Same shade as the pill I’m now forced to take

Screaming lord, take the wheel, hit the emergency brake

Never stop, voices in my head

And I hear them say

If time is off the essence

Type to take it out of context

Conflicts with imaginary enemies

Cold stairs, walking on anything that illuminates fear

Battle you with myself

Stop trusting every help

As the lunatic

And they pray that the night fall

Even the clock got his hand together

Shade night (?)

Hoping I don’t lose it, tho

Need your time of day

I prove it back

Mind reaching as high as pollution

Roaming as these ruins

Out of shape with this hex on me

And nowadays, I ain’t feeling bless on me

Showing you all my hands

Nothing on my person tell you ima bluff

Even on my last breath

Even when I’m out of luck

Even when my dreams start

Even when my time is up

Screaming.
