[Intro]
Is that-, there is a remedy
Allah doesn't show us what the enemy is planning
Without giving us a way to overcome his plan
The fact—
[Chorus]
I’m slowly fading, my soul is shaking
Oh doctor, can you help me?
I'm slowly fading, my minds a wasting
Oh God, can you help me?
[Verse]
A proposition
If I do right will you take away these premonitions
Of my body on the pavement, critical condition?
Momma barely making it, so we had to pitch in
Half man, half hypocrite, conflicted Christian is
Out of trouble but it finds me, you know politics
My opposition is, my own ambition is
My condition is, nigga ignorance
My calculations at 20 said "I was bound to make it"
At 22 I'm still writing rhymes in my momma basement (Basement)
I’m dying in these four walls (I'm writing out these folklores)
I'm writing out these folklores
A higher altitude, you know I'm working to
Singing out my daily blues on 18th avenue
Walking after school manifesting all that I desire
Still I need that medication, still I need that medication
Growth, growth, growth (Growth)
[Chorus]
I'm slowly fading, my soul is shaking
Oh doctor, can you help me?
I'm slowly fading, my minds a wasting
Oh God, can you help me?
[Outro]
The black man is the ocean, shallow
Code switching to please, disrespect our queens
I don't think race is a thing
The black man is the ocean, furious
Why he don't want me, man?
I was just a boy, why didn’t she love, man?
The black man is the ocean, turbulent
Spin the block, make it hot, I’m on ten, watch your mouth
The black man is the ocean, infinite
Long live Trayvon, long live Elijah and many more
The black man is the ocean, peaceful
Just ask my mom, sister, friends
I just wanna laugh and maybe catch the game
The black man is the ocean, phenomenal
I know you can't tell with this hoodie on
The black man is the ocean, priceless
The black man is the ocean distant
But, I know you see me coming
That’s why you frown you see this crown
The black man is the ocean, rich
The culture, the ideas, the talent
The black man is the ocean, deep
The black man is the ocean, mighty
6 feet giants, Lebron, Michael
Look at the jump shot, look at the verse
The black man is the ocean, infinite
The black man is the ocean, love
The black man is the ocean
