lyrics

[Verse 1]
Melanin-induced, I’m delving into proofs
Prison full of colored folk, ya cell contain our truth
How we locked up when our spending power to the moon?
Them laws ain't my rules!
I drop gyms like fasting on food for thoughts
Too tired to act on my thirst, so tired
I pass like a reason to be late for class
Knocked out before I finish praying to God
The booth was my savior, fires unspool from navel guts
Dutches roll the papers up, you a slave or what?
I learned my name was false, so I made my own & vapor out
Overstand my pages full, life was a paper route
Labor foul but I'm blessed, not dead
I pass with flying colors like Super Friends
Late 90s Little Boy Baloo was listening 92.1
Momma drove to giveaways, I spun a wheel & won
A shirt that said JAMZ & I jam, an
Ex-RA Planning open mic programs
I write poetry to vent & invent
Schemes that stick to the shoreline of your ears
An artist with visions bent I’m

[Chorus]
Going beyond my years, I'm from Virginia
Wealth ain't common here
City, I don't want to leave But I do
& I come right back to you My
Voice so rich, my choices live

[Bridge]
Said need something to erase my stress (ah!)
Yeah, I could relay to text (ah!)
But I ask for breath (ah!)
Mouth unquenched (ah!)
I think I'm over 'splaining myself (ah!)
Need something to erase my stress (ah!)
Yeah, I could relay to text (ah!)
But I talk it off the head and check ‘em
Maybe flex um
I’m up tapping on the boot of a Jetson
Ah! Ah!

[Verse 2]
Honor those who bright with light
Dollar bills, I’m poking eyes
Card games promoting lies
We the law, who own our rights
Living will, I wield my life
Seal the crimes for peace of mind
Baraka said, ‘be crazy to not act!

[Chorus]
Going beyond the years, I'm from Virginia
That Wealth ain't common here
I don't want to leave but I do
& I come right back to you
My voice so rich my choices ooo

[Outro]
From Virginia
Mmm mm mm
Artist with the vision
