lyrics

How many times do I gotta win?
Just to let you know the world spins
You never give it any mention
until you see it from a distance

How many times do I gotta spin?
just to make another whirlwind
you never give it comprehension
Yo this is my distance

How many times do they blink and grin?
just because you chose to make an end
they never give you any mention
Yo this is your distance

How many times do we gotta win?
just to let them know the world spins
they never give us any mention
Yo this is our distance

Stop

I hear the wind blow
a sentence wrote in accordance
with my pen flow
fall back forward look into my window

How many times do I gotta be told
not to listen to the music?
this is my calling
not something for amusement
to birth it and use it
pinpoint illusion
make another blueprint
So,
Now I gotta flow to the movement
ride where the groove hits
in between a moment
congruent so it's soothing
this is where my voice lives
counting every tuning

How many times do I gotta win?
just to let them know the world spins
You never give it any mention
until you see it from a distance

How many times do I gotta spin
just to make another whirlwind
you never give it comprehension
Yo this is my distance

How many times do they blink and grin?
just because you chose to make an end
they never give you any mention
Yo this is your distance

Sketches of a Straight Line (audio book)
by L*Roneous (as Tyrell LaRon)

This is a brilliant and inspiring record by one of the best writers of our time. This is a project that should be listened to as an experience. You can't skip through it, you can only absorb. Lateef Dameer
