Barefoot Gen - Off White (feat. Kieda Bordeaux.)

Keep your eyes ahead
We're not prey
Prize ahead, bloodletting the prey
Gotta stay the course
We almost there
Can already smell their fear and defeat in the air
We're snacking on the freshest fruits and veggies
Smoking on some runts in fucking Eden
Yeah, there were times lying wasted on the pavement thinking we couldn't make it
Bad energy setting back the mission
Had to learn to sit still and listen
Observing thoughts as they spiral down the drain
Learned that simply giving was the best course of living for the greater vision
Being more aware of the power of my words on the future
Can't be seething, speaking with hate just cuz it's easier
Gotta see A Brighter Summer Day where there'll be no more hurt
I'm speaking with inner peace and the collective efforts of the people of this world
On the final path to the death of our submission

The time is always right to do whats right
Always sampling kings, sample our rights
But lately the sun dial whines and skirts back tight
Nike factories on high, China on sight
They sew it Off-White
They sew it Off-White

Keep up
Been hard for them to keep up
She tough
We popping off like
Keeping the heat tuck
Going cannonball on y'all
Keeping my knees tucked
Jesus, The Notorious Kie just
Ain't letting up
Or even taking a breather
Back at it like crack addicts
Who's back cracking
I'm the itch that you can't reach
Even with back scratches
The Don Dada
Ain't none hotter
You ice water
I go Motown Philly
Do do do dum Dada
That'll probably go over your head
You better duck
None do it better than us
Now run it up
Who you know saying this shit
Doing it real?
If it's you, don't play with the kid
Say how you feel

Fuck it, you left me when I was lonely at the bottom
In midst of all doom, was left sipping on many bottles
It's hard to swallow the fact you not in my tomorrow
Can't negotiate when what's at stake is your only marvel
Gotta lose my faith in what I think will keep me hollow and sleep eluding cuz the truth'll keep me startled
Lotta weight on my heart cuz I been caring more than you asked for
Lament what I had to say cuz it made you fast forward to a place where we ain't even that close
Had to serenade your memory at my last show
Had a whole segment to explain what was intimate in my soul

The time is always right to do whats right
Always sampling kings, sample our rights
But lately the sun dial whines and skirts back tight
Nike factories on high, China on sight

I chase rabbits down the den of mad hatters and girl snatchers
We climb ladders, no pick pattered
Just pass backwoods and dab fatter
This green louder
Seeing all the things that could make a fiend, it's sickening by this corruption
Flood the streets with heroin and now my family can't even function
It's always dine dashing, thrill snatching, world fasting and empath
I pick a piece of Eve
Eat it, expand ya mind to abstract
It's a lean creeping, ecstasy dreaming, dipped piece upon my paralyzing habits of the distract
Hearing all my demons packing pipes of poppy leaves invade my flight path
Means in search of the life I lived
Underneath the hand of a white man
I'm in desperate need of the atmospheric, soft hands
Fungi opening these astral panels to the ring of a unifying blood pact
Broken in by reckoning that greed and money was the right track
So I fly into the night
Astral project a peaceful program
DMT & poppy leaves packing grams to cure my bad habits
Chase rabbits down the den of mad hatters and girl snatchers
