Lateral ft. HK Higher Knowledge Lyrics

Who are you to say

The different shades of gray

Blew this groove away

Buried in the grave betrayed

Glacier melts

A flood to public callout

Flames here held

All doused from published fallout

Snowed into this event

Their attacks did not relent

They froze my own ground

Ice flows my lungs drowned

Wind blows any sound

My dome is uncrowned

I hold friction in my coat

Dry cold sticks in my throat

Familiar faces

Lookin at me like stranger

Then I enter these spaces

Fillin me up with anger

I'm anxious unrequited

Graceless n unguided

Aimless unexcited

This anguish, uninvited

Conflict pure electric

Turned me to a skeptic

By my own kin I'm rejected

It's worse than bein arrested

We are eating our own

Fostered and homegrown

Gnaw the skin to bone

In light and dark tones

Their rage a flash freeze

Their fangs that slashed me

Fair game I can't breathe

My face the past bleeds

Arranged the stacked grief

My pain a cracked dream

Insane I craft these

Not tame a last scream

(I really tried tho) Humiliate me to

Live in hate, entombed

(Why do you lie tho) You're silencing the truth

Just to balance out your mood

(Want me to die slow) See how it all turns out

Leave me to scream and shout

(But I won't hide no) Seed forced under the ground

And I'm beggin get me out get me out

(I really tried tho) Humiliate me to

Live in hate, entombed

(Why do you lie tho) You're silencing the truth

Just to balance out your mood

(Want me to die slow) See how it all turns out

Leave me to scream and shout

(But I won't hide no) Seed forced under the ground

And I'm beggin get me out get me out

Activists actin so judgy

Who are you to judge me

Your words

Stab and they cut me

No daddy or mummy

I grew up in a genocidal country

Suicidal in my tummy

Yeah these demons they stay hungry

Ahh

Look at what they did to Kelly

Look what they did to every

Person who tried helping

Nah this shit ain't healthy

Don't wanna say fuck it but it's tempting

I don't think I'm ready

I really need my ancestors to come and help me

A stone thrown is pain perpetuated

Every native is educated

In communities decimated

Yes I'm jaded from desecration

I'm screamin to creator

Please let us make it

Til my spirit's levitated

Heartless

Like mannequins

Darkness

I'm grapplin

Drunk off

Your cancellin

Look at your own actions then

Before you go n cast again

Yes I'm mad at y'all

For violence lateral

Got my back to walls

Ready to attack em all

We can't plan at all

Or even stand up tall

Til we stop fightin each other like

Animals

(I really tried tho) Humiliate me to

Live in hate, entombed

(Why do you lie tho) You're silencing the truth

Just to balance out your mood

(Want me to die slow) See how it all turns out

Leave me to scream and shout

(But I won't hide no) Seed forced under the ground

And I'm beggin get me out get me out

(I really tried tho) Humiliate me to

Live in hate, entombed

(Why do you lie tho) You're silencing the truth

Just to balance out your mood

(Want me to die slow) See how it all turns out

Leave me to scream and shout

(But I won't hide no) Seed forced under the ground

And I'm beggin get me out get me out

Humiliate me to

Live in hate, entombed

You're silencing the truth

Just to balance out your mood

See how it all turns out

Leave me to scream and shout

Seed forced under the ground

And I'm beggin get me out get me out

Humiliate me to

Live in hate, entombed

You're silencing the truth

Just to balance out your mood

See how it all turns out

Leave me to scream and shout

Seed forced under the ground

And I'm beggin get me out get me out

(I won't hide no)
