EXPONENTIAL POTENTIAL
The potentiality of we equals dreams times three to the exponent infinite means
But in reality it seems we are afraid to dream so big; and so on broken hopes we lean in defeat
And why not when it’s so easy to eat the lies that coat our insides and deplete our minds
Our spines addicted to apathy
The drug of choice is hidden in the shiny package just beyond our reach.
He, she, we - all become [feigns] for this Cinderella Dream.
[Everyone's hustling, hustling, hustling] for that ultimate fix that’ll fix us forever into the pages of history
The story thus far reads victory for greed; holistic well being in defeat and retreat…
Criminalized, brutalized, tossed onto scapegoat boat; set sail for the new land of bling and shiny things.
[Believing] we found the magic slipper to give us wings.
Our exponential potential is being indentured
Made disposable for convenience
But working, sweat dripping, fully convinced if we keep tilling this field full of manufactured dreams
We will one day strike gold and own our own mountains and streams…
Which in reality, we will never see.
What is this exponential potential worth [shrouded] in illusions that [delusion] our purpose
Is it really worth it?
Tip-toe around morals bought on borrowed souls
for we too are
[dependent]
Debt-pending
Deep-lending
Death landing
Pandering Our pocket full of dreams
Now full of broken seams that have leaked our potential exponentially [siphoned] and stuck to the bottom of our soles…
Drilled holes into the bottom of our souls
Shit yo, what are we fighting for?
Empty pits filled with glitter
Ward off the sinners!
Open the gates for the winners…
They paid for the gold plated
Fences
To prove they have made it.
Shit, How I hate it
I thought we were equally created
Rose coloured glasses perception is jaded
Now what, we just wait it?
I just packaged and weighed it
The water’s been waded
But we’re still feeling the way it
[Presses] down our shoulders with the weight and,
I’m tired of waiting.
Our exponential potential is being indentured
No mention of a fuckin pension
The [potentiality] of we equals dreams times three to the exponent infinite means
And what the fuck does all that mean, when its being used for greed?
Our exponential potential is being indentured
And we’re still waiting to be freed.
