Big Pond (Live) Lyrics

Hip hop post revision

Narrative future beginning

Belittled spinner

Saw the big picture to them

Pieces weren't fitting

Seek to enlist you

Tricked, masked, and camoflauged

Used to play bad at pogs

In college the napped

Abstract vagabond

Can't stand the ground you're

Standing on/ Man of gods

Moratorium on meritocracy

I weave in cypher/ raise discourse

Higher like Socrates/ get off

The wheel/ can't mold clay

Hegemonic pottery/ fertile

Learning ground/ No lobotomy

Beyond molded

Vetted for bets/ settling threats

Used to call me concept

Peddled to settled like chess

Melanin blessed/ unfettered in nets

Like he ain't measuring death

Caught his breath/ dreamt of Malcolm X

Interrupted institutionalized so called

Non-partisan artifice/ either remain

A narcissist/ or unplug and run

All the risk/ pictured addiction

As a mindless subscription to

An unknown mission/ audition

Of sadistic vision/ refracted

Through space time

Are they certain the skirmish

Was finished? I'm Gladwell

Said the big pond ain't the litmus

Uprock bottle rockets and comets

Vocab locks in like a comic

Emcees make comments/ decomposed sonnets

Writing back in the office/ soliloquies

Of warring entity/ whole not sum like symphony

Dripping in epiphany/ infantry

Assembly lined and automated

Seated on train operated by

Fractle doppelgänger

Lineage linear/ racial paradigm

Unphased/ who is unnamed?

Still in the crosshairs of the mundane

Vetted for bets/ settling threats

Used to call me concept

Peddled to settled like chess

Melanin blessed/ unfettered in nets

Like he ain't measuring death

Caught his breath/ dreamt of Malcolm X

Interrupted institutionalized so called

Non-partisan artiface/ either remain

A narcissist/ or unplug and run

All the risk/ pictured addiction

As a mindless subscription to

An unknown mission/ audition

Of sadistic vision/ refracted

Through space time

Are they certain the skirmish

Was finished?

Vetted for bets/ settling threats

Used to call me concept

Peddled to settled like chess

Melanin blessed/ unfettered in nets

Like he ain't measuring death

Caught his breath/ dreamt of Malcolm X

Interrupted institutionalized so called

Non-partisan artiface/ either remain

A narcissist/ or unplug and run

All the risk/ pictured addiction

As a mindless subscription to

An unknown mission/ audition

Of sadistic vision/ refracted

Through space time

Are they certain the skirmish

Was finished?

Vetted for bets/ settling threats

Used to call me concept

Peddled to settled like chess

Melanin blessed/ unfettered in nets

Like he ain't measuring death

Caught his breath/ dreamt of Malcolm X

Interrupted institutionalized so called

Non-partisan artiface/ either remain

A narcissist/ or unplug and run

All the risk/ pictured addiction

As a mindless subscription to

An unknown mission/ audition

Of sadistic vision/ refracted

Through space time

Are they certain the skirmish

Was finished?

Experiential visions/ in front of mirror

Rendered invisible/ tossed to own drum

Epistemic step in ecstatic lyrics

Mural of many miracles

How are we to deconstruct

What he has thunk?

If I uppercut this subtle

Racist fuck/ I may get cuffed

Still spiraling/ used to pop

Prescription solution recycling

It will ruin the environment

Realize you were piloting

A depersonalized campaign

Were they certain the skirmish

Was finished?

I'm Gladwell/ said the big pond

Ain't the litmus/ minuscule individuals

Taught to internalize oppress

Unlearn, untuck

Accentuate new mental gate

Share narrative/ liberation loaded

Beloved communities/ buried seeds

Open/ rise up unapologeticly
