JFP - Flight

No one ever read me a story
No one ever tucked me in
Still I always knew
I had this power within

Damn there they go
They arguing again
You gonna stay?
Or bounce to a friend
I don’t want to hear it
But I’m worried bout mom
She still got that purple bruise
On her arm
But I Jumped out the window
Ran down the street
No shoes needed
I could handle the heat
I’d jump blindly
When I scale the tree
Never stop for a bloody knee
I knew where my mom hide the extra set of keys
I knew eventually he’d pass out
And fall to his knees
We just hiding, biding time
We’ll he explode
Or fade into sublime
I been running from my shelter
I been running from my home
I been running from the ones
Who always made me feel alone
War zone
No bombs
No smoke
Just regret
Of things unspoke
And smashed glass
I was Kissing ass
Right before His fist would hit my face
And fuckin smash
First black eye
And bloody nose
Still through the concrete
I became a rose


Now Im the type thats always catching a flight
And sometimes I might jet at the height of the night
Distorted views of wrong and right
I thought love always ended in a fight
It’s okay mom, dad gonna be nice
How you know?
Montana just connected with Rice
Do the Thriller dance
Actin’ like I can’t walk
Making momma laugh
Cuz later she won’t talk


Racist
Sexist
Classist
Asses
My pops head of the class of blind fucking masses
Sexism dictates my mom must follow
Shout out to all the ones who refuse to swallow
Never hollow
Thick like mud
They can’t convert me
So they coming for my blood
And there it was
There on eon my face
I let it run down
Until I could taste
The pain of my Protecter
Turned to my Oppressor
I hung a big cross above my dresser
I prayed God would come and bless her
Cuz all that monster did was stress her
Sometimes now I go off course
Sometimes I’m full of remorse
Sometimes I just need a Hug
Sometimes I just need my drugs
So I can fly a way
So they wont look my way
Broke me all apart
Some Pieces flew away…
Take a knee?
Or play the fool
We’re all Enslaved
By the Red, White, and Blue


Now Im the type thats always catching a flight
And sometimes I might jet at the height of the night
Distorted views of wrong and right
I thought love always ended in a fight
It’s okay mom, dad gonna be nice
How you know?
Montana just connected with Rice
Do the Thriller dance
Actin’ like I can’t walk
Making momma laugh
Cuz later she won’t talk

Now Im the type thats always catching a flight
And sometimes I might jet at the height of the night
Distorted views of wrong and right
I thought love always ended in a fight
Do the Thriller dance
Actin’ like I can’t walk
Making momma laugh
Cuz later she won’t talk
It’s okay mom, dad gonna be nice
How you know?
Montana just connected with Rice
