lyrics

10 toes down on the soil that I walk, earthquake heart man I’m loyal to a fault. Tectonic plates on the voyage of the lost, salt of the earth well who spoiled all the salt?/ ___you know how much a lawyer really cost, or how it feels to have to go to court against the cross. Pandemic unemployment just reported as a loss, you absorbing all the costs and it’s morbid in ya thoughts./ You a shell of yourself so your daughter feeling lost, Instagram rappers all recording wit a boss. Shut up in ya room just recording in a loft, so it’s more than just a song man you pourin in ya all/ I was tortured and was tossed, I’m fortunate to talk, they outlined my body and their lord just gave em chalk. But I’m breaking out the matrix tell Morpheus I’m off, I am Sting in the rafters, The Scorpion that crawls/ I am back

I was your anchor, holding you down and
while I was your anchor I was drowning
Loyalty gon be the death of me.

Tryna hold others down, same ones sit and watch me drown. No longer will I anchor the boat, for the folks who put my ankles in ropes./ Hung me from their pulpit i dangled and choked, lynched by my pastors it tangled my throat. And they used the word of god with the language they spoke, I watched em smile as I gave up the ghost/ ugh
