walk alone - sage (rapper) lyrics

it’s amazing to think, some days it just seems
like everyone around me has so many places to be
people to meet, faces to see, maybe it’s me
but it feels like the only moving i do is pacing
i keep just going back and forth
napping during it, sleep walking
and keep talking about how bad a fortune i’ve had
and going on about my lack of course
about how i don’t know what i’m rapping for
like i’m at the door but i happen to be lacking a key
so i’m having to keep racking my freakin brain
packing a beat up full of rhymes that are wack as can be
that i’m repeating back from a previous rap wouldn’t be
at the top of the list that i’d’ve wished for my life
is this the kind of existence that i’ma just
have to swallow and grin while i’m wallowing in
or am i following an unusual path, i don’t know but man

(chorus)
floating through my memories
cold as a breeze over the snow
words that you once said to me
echoing in my dreams
i follow onward home
but for now i walk alone

i’ve said it before, i believe in god
but i think a lot about why, and that means i’m not
in the same boat as the majority of the church
who’s ignoring me like they can’t afford to be in a search
to see whether what they believe is really the truth or not
and quite a few will do the opposite, saying that you cannot
even listen to someone question the proof of god
and food for thought is then left a forbidden fruit to rot
and that is the coup de grat, the final straw
for many who become no longer content to just ride along
cuz life has thrown em a question they can’t answer
and certain people just treat like a pot that you can’t stir
and like a cancer it grows until
they finally abandon belief and the holes are filled
and it all makes sense: “the whole thing was a ghost, a shill”
and i don’t blame em at all
how are they supposed to feel, for real

but don’t go twisting it up, sitting like
“yup, seen this in christians enough” as if this isn’t a
problem we all are dealing with in the same way
and the only difference is
whether you know how the game’s played
like dang take neo-atheists for example dawg
saying they stand for logic and reason so can’t for god
take a sample of the way that they handle “god”
and gaze upon an ample log full of ad hominem and the lot
why the need to attack?
if you know you’re right, why not sit back and just freakin relax?
“well i mean cuz it’s facts, and we need to free the people you have
shackled to the steeple in packs”
yet in speech you’re enacting
the same motivational biases you’re accusing them of using
it’s more of a doozy the way they do it, you’re more choosy
but to see the both of you side by side
you’re just trying to manipulate
while they’re just trying to hide
and i’m

now i’m not trying to act like i’m perfect
or that everyone up in the church is allergic to facts
or would act like they don’t give a cr-p if you’re searching
but it is a majority practice for certain
and i’m not trying to infer that atheists are dishonest
rather it’s just not as simple as this lot is
(or at least the most vocal) are pr-ne to present
with an open dose of resentment for those who dissent
and i’m not trying to present a conspiracy
i’m just hear to speak on what i’m seeing
on what appears to be a universal tendency
to reduce complexity to mesh with what we already believe
and then protect it see
and whatever would be the word that you’d use
to put a label on
this kind of absurd and confusing stumbling block
in the way of us searching for truth and communicating
that’s the label my purpose is to eliminate
but i’m too freakin drained to compete
and even if i wasn’t, how would i know the way to proceed
i can’t relay what i’m speaking to the church, they don’t like it
and so i get to roll isolated from both sides
and so my life is a girl i can’t love
a problem i can’t fix, and a talent i am stuck
trying to figure out why the heck it was given to me
and whether i’m meant to truly affect with it such unruly a world
