Stumblingblock

[Verse]

Swear this shit wasn't planned

Cerulean stain my fingers and hands

I'm in a dark wind, ducking speed traps and the scans

I'm not tryna have another traffic stop with the clan

The red and blue make me nervous

Pray I'm not the next to be stolen from Earth, people I love, and higher purpose

Lately, it's been consuming my mental

First time I got stopped, the first on Drexel, it seemed so inconsequential

The second one, I awake and the third one was invasive

The fourth officer threatened to tase me for my impatience

Instead of writing a statement, I tell it to you with rhythm and cadence

I dream of watching 'em crumble, I'm eager for their replacement

I'm sick of seeing their faces and the way my heart races

From locked gazes and casual conversations

Know hella people who quietly satisfied with the stasis

But loudly, takin' from our culture and occupyin' our spaces

I see it daily, no exaggeration

No longer causing me agitation, think I'm cold to it now

Same moderate that Dr. King told us about

I temper my expectations 'cause I know what they 'bout
