about

A song about reckoning with past and having the courage to leave it behind.

lyrics

that back & forth, i am up & done
i wash my hands of them chains & that prison
reprogram and reload me from the source
a damned ancient system that dun run its course
redirect it from my brain [in] hindsight it looks the same —in my mind
and i am blessed in your presence

how dare i deny that i’d been that kind
or how dare i claim that my hands were tied
the cold steel of that special—loaded to blow my mind
the nature of that hustle claimed many in their prime
it could have been me, the boy on the TV
gunned down in street violence when Death says “None deny me.”

[iron sharpes iron//i’m hewn from the source]
[that damned ancient system has dun run its course]
[the nature of that hustle claimed many in their prime]
[ignoring my instincts and biding my time]

i wash my hands of that—i ain’t no man in black
and if i’m ever gonna get there, it’s no lookin back
that i become a pillar of salt—that spoils the earth
ideas are the future and it’s the future i serve
two feet in the present, the past is behind
it’s all 2020 now, back then i was blind
