Nawf Slim - No Air

(Nina Simone)
Release 'til I ain't got no air
These bars that I'm spittin' is rare
Revise what I wrote then I tear
Scatter balls of the paper everywhere
Tortured genius you cannot come near
Hear my voice it will cease all your fears
Even though I been hurtin' for years
Thoughts bring me to tears but the writing is painless
You no one in heaven but on earth you was famous
I rather go there than get riches from strangers
Sellin' my soul to some cults for bangers
These women is gifted got beautiful singers
Voice from the lord they can outdo a angel
When I find peace on the track it gets mangled
Take in the good with the bad it gets tangled
My love has been squeezed to none left my heart strangled
Your brain the antennas, the world is your channel
They put something in front of your face now you channeled
It could be females or it can be money, or is it the weather, raining or sunny
You like Beethoven or you like it funky
One puts you to sleep and one gets you jumpin'
You choose the elephant or you choose the donkey
Behind the desk they both call you a monkey
Enduring so much we be tougher than tungsten
2022 we ain't runnin' for nothin'
My color blue but I'm not democratic
Conservatives hand on that gun they want static
First they went proud then they went tragic
Imma hit my delete on alt right work my magic
Why you ashamed, your skin is beautiful stop listening to people who be sittin' in cubicles
Talkin' bout European standards is pretty
Don't care if you thick you can be itty bitty
Gorgeous as a starry night in the city
But we stuck on the sidewalk where it's gritty
Blood flow in the gutter I see it's a pity
I stayed prayed up 'cause my heart's in the street
It's painful to others it make they knees weak
Leavin' them scarred the wounds be deep
'Cause these days these people is playing for keeps
They don't care if you scream
They don't care if you weep
Try to throw hands throw on the white sheet
They knocking you off no one wants to be beat
I feel we in hell, can barely stand the heat
But it's not even worse than what's under our feet
Look to the sky and I pray that we make it
I'm keepin' the faith in the trial I'm facin'
