Andre Hustace - AintNoTrick

All these street lights and city life will drown out the universe
Staring out at the night mistaking the constellation for the planes in it
It crazy, cuz if I want to get in tune with the cosmic forces that surround me
I gotta get a plane ticket just to find my place in it
Human race looking for answers we were never supposed find
But in regards to mankind, we develop unearthly civilization
Chopping down forests, infiltrating and taking what belongs to life
Even colonizing the moon
Taking step after step
Who taught you how to dream?
Cuz all my dreams required working for the white man
Living a stereotype to be apart of that stereo life
Pretending on a movie set, pursuing checks
Learn to catch a ball, so you can get a check
Run and and jump, but how high until I get a check
P.R. statements and aryian based narratives
The sounds paparazzi drowning out our heritage
Flood our homes with drugs, weapons, and self hate
Incarcerate 1/3 of my kin and harass the rest
Where assassination is the sole alternative for half assed arrests
Underfund our neighborhoods and drag us out into the abyss
Don’t know where we going, but taking step after step after step
I just wanted to feel the love, y’all ain’t giving it up tho so
I’ll settle to feel love, but she ain’t hitting me up no mo
Now I just wanna feel what it is to feel again
Drowning the world out with my headphones blasting
Waiting for the 33 that just took off before I could arrive
Home ain’t that far of a drive, so it can’t be that far of a walk I bet
The day can’t get tougher than it already has been
The suns going down at this point
And streets changing, feet aching
Two hours of my week wasted
Cars passing me by watching me
Taking step after step after step after step
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired and
I’ve outgrown outgrowing things
I’m still learning how unlearn what I was told to think
Mostly the hate and construct that’s been controlling me
Now I’m old enough to drown out the distractions
What a gift from God
Sent to send you the messages to this intellectual exodus
Enlightenment came when vibrations split the red sea
Freedom sang from the people’s chains
And so the voyage began, a harmonious movement
Taking step after step after step after step
