Vipers - 137

On a wooden horse

But I keep galloping;

I keep on breathing

Even though they try to wrap me

In some cellophane;

I got a brain

But I do think it is my heart

That puts me in a different vein;

I feel insane

But I suppose sanity isn’t for the greats;

I feed my soul

But it is never full on any worldly plates

Ambrosia’s all that truly sates

It invigorates

And it motivates

It’s hard to set a precedent looking backwards

Got to push, despite this forest’s many vipers

And you want me sleeping

But I see midnight sun’s arisen

And I see flood tide is receding

White mist on yonder horizon

Swimming each day in a pond of my tears

But I keep on chasing;

Putting what I learned in my years to the test

And I found there’s no use waiting

Specially when surrounded by foes

Whose goal is your erasing;

I’d give you the pen but you wouldn’t know

The recipe for the baking

It’s hard to set a precedent looking backwards

Got to push, despite this forest’s many vipers

Lately they try to villainize me

But when I was the hero they didn’t like me nah

Chasing after dreams since I was nineteen

But they still wanna try and undermine me yuh

Hit the flow with the polish now we shining

Heart made diamond might need to remind them

Took it higher I just started really climbing

Wanna pull me to they level not surprising

Oh so you wanna get petty

Tell me when you ready

I have it locked and loaded

You could really come and get it

We don’t need to take there

Baby we should dead it

Why we arguing like this

Maybe I should just forget it

But you won’t open up you heart

Won’t give me you perspective

You just talking extra mean

Ok now I get the message

You keep burning me

Yeah you worry me

Use my kindness as some leverage

Do not nourish me

Found some courage

And I found a lot of certainty

I will no longer entertain nothing hurting me

Forgive myself internally for hurting me

This the very first time that I’ll speak on it lyrically

Lately they try to villainize me

But when I was the hero they didn’t like me nah

Chasing after dreams since I was nineteen

But they still wanna try and undermine me yuh

Hit the flow with the polish now we shining

Heart made diamond might need to remind them

Took it higher I just started really climbing

Wanna pull me to they level not surprising

Feels like I’m going backwards

Trying dodge all the many vipers

Feel like I’m going backwards

Backwards
