Tether

See the funny thing bout time you barely feel when it’s passing So I would rather spend my time on shit that actually matters Life is a joke, and see the punchline doesn’t hit you till after Now there’s the slightest touch of pain in the laugher What really matters in this intimate catastrophe of cyclical nature We live to suffer then we die, another human replace us And the sensations that we feel are simply chemical make ups And it’s the same for every living creation, ain’t that amazing We’re far much more intelligent than other forms of life But with that knowledge comes corruption greed and envy fill our minds Building systems of oppression for the rest of us to fight Fabricated your religion and restricted your existence See the funny thing bout time is you can feel when it’s coming Knots in your stomach won’t get far if you gone try and run from it When you see that life more than a bussdown or a Tik Tok And internalize the fact that this shit stops It's therapy if I wax poetic Question, will they ever love me? is the hype pathetic Told you first album, you ain't get the message Now you tethered to your past cause you can't accept it Weight of the world on my shoulders but I ain’t maxing out Every day we find something new to be mad about Every night we go to sleep we like directors Seeing visions in our dreams and we just wake up and act them out I been putting on this mask, forgetting who I am Javion is just fiction, I’m just a mortal man Maybe rap is a phase until I get bored again Feel like I’m trapped in a cage, in front an audience Swept away by a wave, and I lost the will to swim Putting words on the page and I wasn’t feeling it So many problems, Ms. Carter taught me to deal with them And if the music don’t move then we back to stealing shit Take it or leave it this music is really me If you choose to believe the pictures that I paint of myself They say what’s understood doesn’t have to be explained so Why is it I’m always explaining myself
