As a Kid
Here it is, me as a kid, and my crazy is bout to surface
They call me lazy an without a purpose
But maybe my purpose was to learn how worthless work is
And to learn bout all us hurt kids
Who were taught to suffer is to serve him
Heard it weekly in the sermon, But now they tell us weakly
Here's a boss your supposed to serve him
But what happened to the dude always painted on the ceiling? Thought kindness was appealing, and taught that love was healing, so now here’s some truths I'm revealing
Nothing is work when you can do what you love
Nothing can heal like a hug, yes this is all real, take a drug
You might even feel, this is love
So why we always working on surface?
And on these matters are we not concerned with
The deeper purpose and inner yearning
And how we've been hurt with
The words and worlds we were taught and burdened with
And yet on sex and love we’re like, that don't concern a kid
When in fact that's what made 'em a her or a him
And please don't pardon these words, that's big
And please don't do that to a kid, to a kid
There'll be plenty of time when they’re big, when they’re big
It's not about the mind, it’s a lid, just a lid
But some better left unopened, as kid, just a kid
But now we all just sitting smoking, with a kid, with a kid
And I hope her mind don't get broken, as a kid, as a kid
And I hope her heart don't get broken, as a kid, as a kid, and in my heart I know this, as a kid, who was kid
Who had forgotten bout what hope is, as a kid, who was a kid
Who now remembers what this hope is
And now this is what his hope is:
That we all remember what this whole biz, is about as a kid
Who was a kid, who never heard this
That you are all what worth is
Not a bill and not a pill, and you are all the hurt kids
Let's reveal, let’s reveal
And you know what these words is
Here's a deal, here's a deal
Let's let love resurface
This is real, this is real
And remember what this earth is
A place to heal, place to heal
Now all of you are perfect
Don't have to kneel, don't have to kneel
Just remember what these words is
Just have to feel, just have to feel
Don't have to live like hurt kids
Pretending your adults with purpose
When your purpose was to be a kid, be a kid
To learn and let live. To yearn a win big
You're not here to hate this or waste time being racist
But to appear and just play this
Game of mind and build up a shrine
To all that you love and play with the mind, my love
As you would with a mine, be careful and not blind
To be here for a long time. And I want you all here for a long time
I hope you all have ears for a long rhyme
But this just all a dare, from a wrong mind
Who just wastes his time
But this is who I am
So I hope you listened Orion, the stars that glistened to the Mayan But I'm done hissing spitting cayenne
Going down like goose feathers from a Ryan, gosling
Oh god I'm crying, laughing like I'm gassed
Gasping like I'm past, the pack but if it lasts, this lead
I might succeed in all my deeds, seceded all my needs
And Planted seeds all on my knees, not to bow but sew
And this is how I know, without a doubt they grow
Watch these trees these n***as know
How and when to leave and when to flow with the breeze
When to grow and when to feed, and how I know that this is me
It's no joke just a key, unlock it or don't, but don't bother me
Peek through the crack and you'll come follow me
But there'll be no leaders to see
Just you and me, just you and me
