silver spoon - masilo the healer lyrics

flat screens and shallow thinking
star gazing and game playing
the foreskin of modern literature
the misconception of knowing
how does one fool the world?

convince the world they are not being fooled
make them drool, l*st for you to approve
give detail, enough detail so you can skip context
remove the unfathomable and replace it with the intangible
make information so easy to access that a lion in a library would not go a miss

then kiss the reader, tuck them in and assure thеm tomorrow will be a better day
fillеd with death, gluttony, rape, mutiny, poverty, starvation, mutilation, and intellectual asphyxiation
but please, don’t forget to read a bedtime story
one of globalisation, integration, technological advance, artistic romance and maybe even our attempt at playing g o d but be wary;

too scary and they won’t sleep
not enough and they’ll lose interest
watch their mind’s peek, just short of your true purpose
lie, and lie again until you believe it too
then cry, and cry again as you no recognise you

sacrifice yourself, your inner human
to your dreams of statues and false glory
so the next generation recognises the story
of how rori rose to the top of the rap game or, at least his sh*ll did
put his soul on auction just for the highest bid no f*ck that
i refuse to bid farewell
this game will never define my success
it’ll all be defined by the people i help, no less, no more
i appreciate my flaws and use these poems as floors
to stand on as i stand on singing these redemption songs
building with my freedom

they say it was given to me, i’ll never understand the hurt or the struggle
they don’t get it, i’ll take this silver spoon out my mouth, stick it in the dirt and i’ll hustle
see the shine of a true star was never quite silver, it’s a little more subtle
it lies in the greys, in the high heels and fades
somewhere in this haze of people

and in this haze i find my peace, connection to you
but please don’t mistake, please don’t mistake my optimism for pessimism
i’m here with you right now
