Sanctuary

The only thing that could be pumping my vessels Poseidon Feeling like I'm M. Shinoda, the way that the tide is But the calm before the storm has yet to come to me Know the storm is coming by the lack of sun that's shun on me Is that what the fuck we were fighting over all that time? You should've said something . .instead of waitin', nigga Had me wondering why the fuck you all were hatin', nigga Drowning in my sorrow, like- how long recovery take, my nigga? But it's not your fault; you couldn't feel the pain Unfortunately we can never feel the same But I guess sometimes you've got to teach a friend a lesson Regardless of whether after the class you can still relate Then that begs the question if that shit ain't even helping What the fuck did I do but ruin connections in the end? Take a second to think . . but I'm coming up with nothing Except to not be fucking selfish, is what I tell myself Cause I need a codex to live by I ain't seen a God and my faith ain't enough to get by All I've got's the character, all I've got's the mysteries All I've got's the ethic that I use to write the symphonies All I've got's the bars within the measures that I've written That are diamonds in the rough that you could never find at Tiffany's All I've got's the bitch who's name is life playing these heartstrings Even though it seems to date the love is unrequitted, see But I listen to the instrument inside of me And play for her a melody that no one couldn't fall for Probably thinks I'm serenading for the sake of fucking But it's nothing of the sort, because this nigga's wantin' far more This was never fuckin' lust; best believe it's fuckin' love Word to everything that may be or may not be up above Word to all the kids waiting for winter's end and greener grass Waking every day for the purpose of working hard as fuck Word to all my niggas in the trap twenty four seven Trying to make it- praying maybe one day, they could switch the style up Word to all the kids who couldn't deal with single file Always asking questions and wanting to know the whys and whats Word to all the kids who understand knowledge is power So instead of seeking dollars, they just trying to wisen up Word to all the kids that cop it every time I drop it Cause it's ya'll's responsibility a nigga's always risin' up
