88 and Beyond

I renamed myself Kimmortal Cos I sense a thousand portals Flow through venous systems Boom bop beats for circulation Indigo kids in the studio and art room Channel into new tunes Lettin’ spirit speak through Pick the common thread out of the news Weave that new new I’m seein’ seas in their shallow translations That lack imagination Art as incantation where it’s all in relation Umbilical connection No separation Hand hold the Bangka Carvin’ out a mantra Aalaga para sa mga bata Rock it Ilocana just like my mama I'm queer like the water, resilient through trauma How can we move when some of us are wounded? Patience in cycles, motion and movement All lives won’t matter till black lives matter Bound up in liberation with indigenous nations To infinity 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond Even bigger than this song 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond Hack the thing at every angle, till we roll with angels I’m crooked on your book of lines Circled them a thousand times Scribble with my tangents Settin’ fire on your palace white Ivory towers keep powers cinematic Illusion unsustainable Rapper slash actress Income unpredictable Nothing stay romantic Relationship to art unstable But commit to back it Fuck about a cool façade Lies glasses Reindigenize, travel time, this intergalactic Open letter to the ill emcees building blocks that Only serve to box us in my zone the equinox A planetarium, shit kaleidoscopic Mark it up with copics Animated graphic I am the motion Not a decoration Welcome to my universe Check my constellation If you hangin’ by a thread Hold these lines for survival My legacy the seed ascending This is our arrival 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond Even bigger than this song 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond Hack the thing at every angle, till we roll with angels
