Verse 1:

I swear it, I swear it,
They just don’t wanna hear it –
I swear it, I swear it,
They just don’t wanna hear it.
Deluded, tuned in, like trash, tv fiends
The truth is what they lack,
They just don’t want to hear.

Spitting wisdom like a veteran,
Still looking like a young’un.
As the days became brighter,
Restrictions became tighter.
Lets see who’s who.
I’m not out here trying to loose;
My sanity, my dignity,
My freedom – that’s the minimum.
Look at this so-called democracy...
Who has the real authority?

Chorus:

Swear..
Patience the only virtue that I bare
But the way I’m feeling now’s a bit overbearing
Never knew why your lack of caring’s been given a voice to deny our choice.

To give to a new world shaping
To live for a new world shaping
I never knew why.

Verse 2:

An overflow of Black deaths
The timeline brings nuff stress
So I split myself like a horcrux
To build my mind into a fortress
Tryna find the angle like pythagorus.
Government stubborn as Taurus,
N you’re online bragging bout your allyship
Post one black square, think you’ve done shit??

If this is an evolution,
Something like a revolution,
Tell me what you’re really losing
Waking up from your sleepwalking.
Now it looks like the world’s ending
How’s your protest pic helping?
Whose freedom are you protecting?
Dip in your purse til your elbows’ all in

May Gods protect me
From all my enemies
As I break from the forces,
Of generational curses.

Chorus:

Swear..
Patience the only virtue that I bare
But the way I’m feeling now’s a bit overbearing
Never knew why your lack of caring’s been given a voice to deny our choice

To give to a new world shaping
To live for a new world shaping
I never knew why

Breakdown:

We have been barely existing.
Compliant to illusions, not questioning.
What’s behind the eyes - is it radiating or dimmed?
We can fly, pass time.
If we control - Eye,
There’s no shackles on our feet but invisible flames,
bursting through our shames.
It’s time we make a change.
Our happiness isn’t something,
we should be ashamed….to obtain.

Verse 3:

Hold tight
Coming from the south sides
Plotting with my people
Tryna do more than just get by
Get high,
Dream big and survive
Seen freedom walking by, but it won’t look us in the eye.

Tryna break these age-old curses
Sprinkle a lil magic in my verses
Bend it to my will like cursive
I was born first for a purpose
So you can’t tell me shit
I ain’t tryna do this quick
Ain’t tryna be famous
Maybe tryna catch a lick

I do it for the ones that raised me
Do it for the ones that saved me
Do it for myself cause I’m wavy
I don’t believe the hype,
Mind my business,
Tend to mine.

Time delays
Different people
Different waves

If your room don’t smell like sage
We don’t trust you
Says all lives matter
N we’ll rush you
Ain’t tryna talk privilege
Til the power and the wealths shifted

Chorus:

Swear..
Patience the only virtue that I bare
But the way I’m feeling now’s a bit overbearing
Never knew why your lack of caring’s been given a voice to deny our choice

To give to a new world shaping
To live for a new world shaping

I never knew why.
