Diving Bell

If pressure makes diamonds I’m diamond encrusted

If dust shows inaction my rhymes are never dusty

Clouds in the studio from spitting it's musty

Discipline daily is the way that it must be

I wrote this on the top shelf my bars premium

Each song’s a coupon for gems start redeeming them

Get money or die trying the lie of Benjamin

I never sold my soul but with greed I injured it

Eyes glowing red like Denver's Blucifer stallion

My syllables smooth like valerian valium

Around my ankle an anchor I tie on

To swim to the bottom of my soul and spy on

All the liеs that I tell myself and rely on

I truly bеlieve words affect matter and microns

I spoke paragraphs that wrapped around my neck like pythons

Negative thoughts can be parasites cut their supply off

Sometimes we forget to remove the masks we try on

Caught up in the ego, trying to be an icon

Beats are my food, melody I survive on

Words are my oxygen, I breathe and I write on

It's how I ask questions, let me get my why on

Coral reef palimpsest is what I inscribe on

Diving deeper now, new realms I arrive on

The bottom of the Mariana trench I reside on

I saw constellations on the floor the Belt of Orion

Everything inverted logic not applying

Is the ocean the sky my perception's colliding

How much of reality is our mind designing?

And can we uncover new domains if we refine it?

My soul is a kite when I die I’ll fly on

And find an ancestor's shoulder to cry on

Floating to the surface I felt my body rise off

I hope I don’t get the bends with bubbles in my ions

They pulled me back to the boat and said to dry off

I woke up alone and found a note that said to dive on

I jumped back in the water, not every path is a dry one
