Purple Clouds

Is it all timeless?
Can I live where my mind is?
Does this all exist?
Is this all there is?
There’s more to see
A lot more to them,
But, is there more to me?
I was warned you see
That this life we chase
Would never please
Buy it all and never lease
Live life like we’ll never leave
But this could never be
Summer weather cease
Seasons where death and the devil creep
Keep approaching me…
There’s disdain in her eyes
‘Cause the pain do rise
When thoughts of me appear to her mind
I’m all across state
On my way…
I’ll never arrive
I’m on my grind
Got love for you
But you cain’t love me
My love runs deep
Your love has needs that I cannot meet
C’est la vie
I’m alone just me
That’s how it’ll always be
Until I rest in peace
I live this war
Yet see defeat
No more no more
That’s right that’s right
All lefts no rights
No days just nights,
No days
Just nights…
I came back from the dope packs
Where them thugs at
Serving cold wraps
No hope that we could go back
To where it all began
Innocence? Lost that,
That’s why we smoke that
To get our minds gone
It leaves us torpid
Like, do we really want this?
Gotta find a way out
I’m so phlegmatic
Calm, cool, collected
I’m just recollectin’
‘Bout life ‘fore I stepped in
Line with the Christ
Lime is the light we pursued through the night
Trying to change up life
Grasping at straws
‘Cause our goals ain’t right
Distracted by the lies
Trapped in our demise
As we’re wrapped up in the ride
That’s fueled by our pride
And propelled by our greed
A distortion of our needs
‘Cause this earth’s all we see…
The world applies pressure,
Better believe we push back
Some push fame
Some push crack
Some sling success, politics, and false fact
Some flip sex
Some flip dope
Some write checks
From wealth gained off the backs of the oppressed
They offer empty love
That cost more than most can’t afford when they come to collect
So I cut my ties
Renounced my name
Defected from my country
And bounced from the game
I threw myself down at the gates of a kingdom
Crying out, “I’m wretched searching for freedom”
I was embraced by this king
And for the first time I’m breathing
