2 0 1 8 ft. Kimmortal Lyrics

Before I rapped for love

I wrote poems from pain

Release the dark dove

Played games like war frame

Two oh one eight

In a lot of lanes

Going or staying not feeling alone with

Searching for home in

Charter flight from Yellowknife

Was a fight for my life

At the height of this strife

Was the plight of my scythe

I'm talking

Cancel to anvil

To Lutsel I travel

Donning the awning

And armor of Havel

Tracking the stacking

From parlour and gavel

Homelands I stand

On brand I channel

The battle from bedrock

The red flock of herrings

Thinking they're staring

Is anybody caring

Kimmortal raring

Tawahum squaring up

Tawahum squaring up

Stimulus stimulus

Tawahum squaring up

Stimulus stimulus

You're breaking up

Open wound out in the wind

Two oh one eight

Ima take on everything

TMI eyes

Manic at a meeting for healing

Spark spark stimulus with my kin

Headlines call my friends hooligans

Forest fire empire fast got to work faster

Engine running no brakes

Friends asking are you sleeping

Cheque bounced got an ounce

I'm blue dreaming

People pleasing we get lost

In fields of time we get tossed

Battling for the minds

Wordsmiths throwing lines

Hold on to it

Stimulus

Stimulus stimulus

In Fort Providence

My Setsi is buried

I think about him often

All that he carried

Standing in resistance

From cache creek to Burnaby

Spoken word residence

Dadfights Kae Tempest

In Dignity my Lola Jasmin is buried

The color rose her fingerprints

Out in the prairies

Roots roots in my limbs

Wear her black jacket

Poets sipping Milo

The familiar that I miss

Back in Vancouver

Technica on ears

We sharpen our spears

Pipelines over years

We blocking over here

Shit ain't even deep

Bout to make a leap

Out from my grief

Performing on stages

Of grief on the east

The pressure of spotlight

Burst at the seams

Because the truth got me naked

I freeze in between

I'm not made of steel

I'm a spiritual machine

Loosen heavy armour

Take off bedrock boulder

Joy and despair wounded

See I'm just a human

I doubt me when I see them

Red flags with my senses

I'm self flagellating

Got to turn the page end

Up against these systems

Tryna heal schisms

But it ain't all me

Fighting to be free

Up against these systems

Tryna find compassion

But it ain't all me

Fighting to be free

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

Fighting to be free

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

Fighting to be free

Concrete filling streets

Many light source many shadows

Cement jungle hustle bustle

Too busy for the shadows

Defeat in my seat

Makin statements on a phone screen

Mainstreams swimming up

Against the currency current scenes

Consider dark ends

Dark dirt to defend

Consider dark ends

Dark dirt to defend

Consider dark ends

Dark dirt to defend

Consider dark ends

Dark dirt to defend

Despite the contracts severed

We hold our eagle feathers

The earth that remembers

We're here as protectors

She sings songs for vagabonds

Footprints on the lawn

Spin in circles like a Sufi

Right here I belong

Bringing prayers to the river

Tobacco ties are tethered

Up further past September

Mentors teaching us to mend her

Relations reframing

Giving paint to the youth

Unfinished is this art

I know this to be true

Shoulder cam evidence

Feathers up arrested

North shore invisible

Together we formidable

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

Fighting to be free

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

Fighting to be free

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

But it ain't all me

Fighting to be free
