Anthony Perkin - Holy

I don't need the drums to ride this flow
Nah
I don't need the drums
I don't need the drums to ride this flow
Syncopated naturally from the heart
These words I spoke
This for the chosen few that listen to me
Shout out to the ones who rooted for me
Don't take this personally
This heat aint directed at you
But you're the only ones I trust
Come thru let me wrap with you
Misconception is the root of a faulty understanding
With the assumption that you know me so you place labels and brand it
Let's get established
Axiom
A self evident truth
Needing no hypothesis
Or perceptual proof
I knew I was destined for greatness
From the days of my youth
I learned that Power was Simple
So I used that to express what I had been through
With strings tethered in brass garnished in a wooden temple
I let a chick get to me
That left me with No Vision
Not looking for directions moving in indecision
Praying to the one called EL with no provisions
Wondering how I'm gonna make it through this season
That season and the next season
But I survived three
I survived three
I often wonder what it would be like if the light grew dimmer
Like what would life be like if I didn't focus Inner
Nothing would be left
But I came into the knowledge that I was made a god in flesh
Creating life through ideas made manifest
I had to meditate on this
'Cause the folks would deem it blasphemous
Lowercase g for the ones who trippin
Big G Jordan but I'm Pippen
Oh you can drop my drums in about a minute
I'm almost finished
If you paid attention I just gave you the run down of my journey thus far
In the order of where it began to where it really starts
Now
Who said I was done
Who said that my battles could never be won
Who said I would stay in the dirt like a bum
I spit out my sword and I'll cut off your tongue
Your time has run out and there's nowhere to run
Head for the hills retribution has come
I'm taking my place at the top like the sun
The stars have aligned and my reign has begun
Agh
You think I need these keys to speak my truth
You think I need these beats to make it through
Did you really think that I would fold for you
Nah
I'm on a different level
A deity over all of you devils
Risen king covered in gold medals
My pain buried in the shadowy meadows
Grave covered in rose pedals
Unsettled
'Cause the dirt gave birth to new
Creature found its power through
All the hurt that counts as proof
I'm never going back never going back
Down to the depths down to the steps
Where I laid the past to rest
So rest well young blood
Threw away the crown of wood
You made it like I knew you would
From the bottom of the pit
You made it out through the woods
'Cause the wolves couldn't get you
But the devil thought he could
Nah
Now listen to the sound of my voice
All the things that I said
Came down to a choice
So I chose to speak
Since you didn't want to hear my heart on the beats
Since you didn't want to listen to my soul on the keys
I poured it out on the sheets
I took the pen
And put the pen to pad
I took the pad and introduced the pen
Took account of all the sins that were committed against me
Cut the beat 'cause they still can't hear me
Scratching their heads fiercely with a subtle disapproval because they didn't know all this was within me
At first I was Tired
Thus the creation of this monolog to decipher the words of broken cipher
For Those Who Remain inspired
By this Holy vessel
I'm Not Ok
