Nine Lives

truthraps's Notes
“Nine Lives” discusses hidden secrets, racism in rap, ADHD medication, the pain of existing and much more.
The world's secrets and pain are lost in the atlantic
Behind romantics which tend to be automatic
It seems as if the secrets lie down there with the titantic
However is it organic like the pills you are giving the students
The core of their learning is useless
None of this was learned in the classroom, I tend to leave it feeling clueless
I am aware you won’t listen to destiny due to it being tuneless
Like confucius once said, speak what the truth is
Just like confucius, I will cause a fiasco and confuse us
It seems to take pain to move us
One day we will perform on the school bus, in school bus shoes
Not your style? Only uncool ludas maroons?
I can’t manage to hear that more than 5 times
Find me on ellen or lettermen if I had a furry friend with 9 lives
Right now is the right time
If I stay up one more night
It’ll feel like a lifetime
They told me I might succeed if I had bright eyes or a dark childhood
I will make my mark so that your child could, get out of the hood
Your child should be dreaming that they will
Provide good to the world, in history they will have their part
Just because I am light should I stop telling you about Alavi’s hidden minoan art?
That's dark
We will still apply for the Society of Spoken Art
You haven’t heard about my broken heart
We are bold kids, more like Arnold and less like Joan of Arc
There is much more to rap than fire
There is much more to love than desire
“We managed to erase history” is what they told me
“Keep crying”, you once held the emotions that controlled me
Continue to watch you grow, but they still just want the old me
What use to work for my mind can no longer console me
The best will have never been found
The best will always remain underground
Come with me to the dark parts of downtown
I was bound to end up with this visualization
Here I have returned
To the zone of the most used rhyme scheme in the rhythmic and poetic communication
Yes, I understand there is physical pain throughout the nation
Throughout this earth and throughout our act of globalization
That wouldn’t have been happening during our supposed mutation
So many times, we have been so close to decimation
You really are a miracle
I am trapped in this prison, and it just so happens to be spherical
My mentality is incurable, until it will eventually kill me
It just seems nothing will ever fulfill me
Look behind the words and I am still me
Until he takes me, what will be my way to come to grips with this path of progeny
The cat is dead, and all 9 lives were taken from my curiosity
That’s a rap, but it’s philosophy
You are all hypocrites, we are all hypocrites
It seemed to be going well until our logic split
Our quest for it all just might cause us to commit
Pain comes with the idea that in the end Friedreich is in fact correct
In retrospect, what did you know about humanity before they descent
Nothing, this isn’t our turf
Can you imagine what happened before the peasants s(e)urfed
Away from their morphed perspectives of the multiverse
It takes ultimate emotions to have you fully immersed
Because you simply don’t get perfection without imperfection
You simply don’t get the best without the worst
Only you know why I manage to sit here, with eyes not on me yet somehow still feeling cursed
My thirst was enforced, but unfortunately not understood enough to be endorsed
It seems as if my soul and I, my mind and I, my heart and I have been divorced
I was meant to come to you, I was part of the course, of course
So all you princes and kings
Throughout the Arab springs
Who throughout the summer commit infinite sins
This isn’t some hidden reference, you purchase this or that, whatever the price you can afford
While the Syrian children who are dying are not just ignored
Tell me if that is morals because if it is
That is not the book I read, that is not what I live my life for
Be quiet, don’t tell us what we already know because he wasn’t a racist
She wasn’t 9, he was not the way you described him as a warlord
His descendants however, are you really seeking your reward
You are a disgrace, your people are dying and here you are enslaving Indians
That isn’t what this possibly questionable life really is
Keep buying diamond lamborghinis while the children of Palestinians continue to cry
Continue to be hungry, continue to die
You can say this isn't true, but this is exactly
I'll be the first to tell you that is was absolute insanity that killed millions & Cheb Hasni
Other than the facts
There are a lot more answers hidden inside of my mind somewhere
I'm just waiting for the universe to ask me
