in a sense - joseph idoko lyrics

[verse 1: joseph idoko]

my mans told me i’m a black in the wilderness
in a sense, people attacking my innocence
the hinderance of all of the synonyms of the villainous
is it hurting my future or marinating the blissfulness?
the ignorance. see the patience in my eyes why my
teacher love what my neighborhood despise why my
grandmother see a pagan in my eyes, now
am i really ignorant? my face is looking blind
to the racism and crime that my mother tried to hide from
soul was feeling crooked but that’s where i got my posture from
cause it’s good to live naive like a leaf but once you fall from that tree you see an officer just shot your son
is it reflected by me enjoying the distance?
or is it fear weights strengthening the laziness?
i seen suffering turn a man to a christian
and suffering turn that same man into an atheist
[hook]
now what do i got right now? he said (innocence)
can i use that to survive? he said (in a sense)
you gotta learn how to flip that, roll that, steal that, stole that, turn it all (into cents.) (x2)

[verse 2]

now i was born by the river now i’m busy trying to cross it
a hero transition to a villain with a concept
that “b-tches ain’t sh-t, and that women only objects.”
that’s nonsense, i visualize my mother in the process
imagine me, busting off a trigger
with the government whispering that i’m nothing but a ______
with some tonsils full of cannabis and stomachs full of liquor
intoxicated to empty out corruption in his figure
but the substance that was iller was the devil trying to capture his soul
for his own plans, difficulty catching his goal
cause i’m pure from the basket to the casket so the metaphor for satan was always getting his -ss kicked
getting tired of these f-cked up concepts
“let’s f-ck b-tches while we blaze up one, ah, getting money and all of women are objects”
that’s nonsense, mother f-cker you came from one
and the message is to take it in as one
and deviate from the section that the racists have begun
cause the difference of me and brethren who are blazing up a gun
is the difference of reading “fences” and “a raisin in the sun.”

[hook]

[bridge: azure]
it’s easy to shine when you’re a diamond
not when you’re a rock that everybody avoids
instead of a jar, i’m in the dirt
i want everyone to feel my hurt
no father figure no motivation
i’m just a rock there’s no expectations
why’s surviving my only inspiration
it’s hard to shine when you’re scared to die. man

[verse 3: joseph idoko]

“got bread so you thinking i’m happy
i use it to help buy the sh-t that distracts me
the pain fades when that codeine smacks me
the paranoia rise when the police p-ss me
i know that there’s a bright side and i wanna get it
i hate life so i torture everybody in it
i’m hearing new gunshots every 20 minutes
the same shots that could get me and my mommy finished
girl back broke my heart like i ain’t sh-t
to this day, them same b-tches ain’t sh-t
i sell drugs to buy clothes and make sh-t
cause my records don’t call for a late shift
and i don’t need to reveal my health
i carry around a gun just to steal my wealth
cause if i had noone to rob, while watching my heart throb
i’d probably use this same gun to kill myself.”
