[Intro:]
|
"I sometimes feel like I am impersonating the dark subconscious of the whole human race"
|
|
[Verse One:]
|
To touch me is a luxury that most never experience
|
A Lyricist, Loungin in the shadow where my spirit is
|
I'm baring this cross for so long
|
There's not a care in this world that can cause me to join the heretics
|
I carry this solution inside and can't express it
|
I try to shake the Word and escape the adolescence
|
The lessons that God taught me won't let me rest easy
|
There's no escapin' this whole creation that sees me
|
I be a ray of light amongst the dark
|
Half of this poem I write, in the night I travel alone
|
Mappin' my own route
|
Tryin' to pull out as soon as possible
|
Because every new person I meet is a new obstacle
|
[?] oracles I speak with are bleak with
|
Forecast if I keep this
|
Damn, I got a secret
|
I seated in a hull of a ship
|
My destination unknown now
|
Forsaken my Lord I'm all alone now
|
And lack the know how to show my folks how to make it
|
Motivated by the hatred in a world where nothing is sacred
|
My knees shakin' my blood runs cold
|
I start tremblin'
|
My heart dangling by a thread
|
Voices in my head say
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
All I know is I don't wanna know what I know
|
To be in this position
|
(Hell no!)
|
I'm going fishin'
|
I'm sorta wishin' my people didn't concern me
|
(But they do!)
|
So I got a three day journey [X2]
|
|
[Verse Two:]
|
Up above I hear the waves rushin'
|
Heart bangin' like percussion
|
Mucus in my lungs slushin'
|
Just then, two men seize me
|
Release me among strangers
|
One spoke for him, his voice reveals anger
|
"The danger that we're in is because of you
|
We don't know you. What's your name?"
|
"Jonah"
|
"We're gonna have to throw you over"
|
Before I knew it I was movin' toward the ragin' sea
|
Then creation turned against me
|
There's no savin' me
|
I should call out to God but what's the chance of him answerin'?
|
A more disobedient man, there hasn't been
|
There's no chance for me, so fuck it I'll drown
|
I'll just relax and let the strong current take me down
|
As I approach the abyss with body and soul
|
Yo, this large mouth fish swallowed me whole!
|
From the belly of the ship to the belly of the fish
|
And the only thing that my brain thinks is this
|
|
[Chorus X2]
|
|
[Verse Three:]
|
There is no escapin' this situation
|
I can't even die
|
I ran out of tears and can't even cry
|
I broke down and saw God, I should have followed his plan
|
Then the fish went and spit, spit me out of the land
|
I land on dry land
|
Hot sand scorchin' my steps
|
Sunlight burn down on my neck
|
A little plant grew up around me
|
And shade me with leaves
|
It's a three day journey to my people I believe
|
As long as I'm livin' I can still accept the mission
|
I'm fishin' for those who can listen to this religion
|
As long as I'm livin' I can still accept the mission
|
I'm fishin' for those who can listen to this religion
|
|
[Chorus X2]
|
