A River on glass in plastic
behind the curtain
there your mask is
you wear it looking for a past tense
present perfect
a future second guessed
is it worth it?
I take a grain a salt like a diabetic
ride my blood pressure
till I burst through the heaven
no regret
just inflect
I gotta feel the echo
to reverberate my step
live your life
at different heights
take advantage
the view doesn't come twice
who would thought that
the river could conceive
mirrors that could breathe
question and perceive
Take a minute
watch the sun bleed
Vitamins you see
caught beneath your feet
I had a dream
two came before three
you crawl before you lead
you hear before you speak
you grow with every leap
you shine with every beat
Yo
I gotta choose between
the river or the stream
the stream or the river
regardless of my choice
I navigate it free
A river on glass in plastic
behind the curtain there your mask is
you were it looking for a past tense
present perfect
a future second guessed
is it worth it?

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
