I’m the creepy guy in the trench coat following you
Describing a person who appears suspicious or unsettling.
The homeless guy on the side of the freeway bothering you
Depicting a homeless person causing discomfort by the freeway.
I tried to signal, but you didn’t pay me no mind
Failed attempts at communication, seeking attention.
Now i call like a bill collector til you pay me on time
Persistence in seeking recognition and compensation.
….I’ve got the skill to describe your morphogenetic field
Claiming the ability to understand and describe a person's essence.
And yet and still go back to the math for a better thrill
Despite this skill, returning to mathematics for intellectual excitement.
We took all of our collective forces and unified it
Highlighting the power of collective unity.
You read the bible, and that isn’t even pseudoscience
Critiquing the Bible as not even pseudoscience.
You think i’m afraid of Islam like i’m shook nervous
Expressing fearlessness in confronting religious symbols.
I’ll torch a quran with my lyrics fuck a book burning
-These blacks accept the religion of the slave master...
Criticizing the adoption of the religion of the slave master.
But they wouldn’t accept it if you were a gay rapper
Commenting on selective acceptance of beliefs.
Why is it when we want to move forward we face backwards
Reflecting on the community's resistance to progress.
Our community’s sick, religion the main factor
Identifying religion as a major obstacle in the community.
You have such a problem with gays and transsexuals
Addressing societal issues regarding LGBTQ+ individuals.
What if I told you that we are a trans-intellectuals
Challenging preconceived notions about intellectual identity.
You’d probably flip, deny that you’re a member
-Call for those who think like me, to be dismembered
Anticipating resistance and possible backlash for these views.
….something you picked up from a former era
Attributing certain beliefs to past eras and their consequences.
Spreading religious love in the form of terror
Criticizing the spread of religious ideologies through fear.
Pipe down
Encouraging the reader to broaden their perspective through diverse reading.
Pick up a book right now
-Of an opposing view you might find out
-...everything aint you what you thought it was
Questioning preconceived notions and promoting inclusivity.
There are no others everyone’s apart of us
Emphasizing interconnectedness and unity.
(Chorus)
Chorus: Criticizing illusions, societal expectations, and the end of a metaphorical "summer."
There’s just an illusion of something different
-The very reason they keep telling you something’s missing
-But whatever it IS you won’t get from one religion
-I hate to break it to you, get your coat summer’s ending...
-There’s just an illusion of something different
Reiteration of the chorus with variations.
The very reason they keep telling you something’s missing
-But whatever it IS you won’t get from one decision
-I hate to break it to you, get your coat summer’s ending...
-There’s only so many legal moves
Reflecting on limited options and societal deception.
When you’ve seen the rules
-You wonder how they have so many people fooled
-I never thought when I was young in class
-That I would be scribbling in chalk on the walls of the underpass
-Some might ask, how’d did happen how’d you get there?
Questioning how the speaker ended up in an unconventional situation.
Most people think that i’m yappin’ when I sit there
-And just stare
-At traffic rappin’ just to get their
Describing efforts to gain attention through rap.
Half a second of attention span as they spend years
-Rentable, to the highest bidder in a bidding war
Criticizing those pursuing wealth and status at the cost of happiness.
Disappear from 9-5 then act like I’m invisible
-Pitiful, wanna be pimps players and centerfolds
-In it for the cash and status and yet their miserable
-...i’m not homeless i’m just off the grid
Denying homelessness and criticizing societal dishonesty.
Be happy if i was on it i’d be off’n kids
-I think the problem is, “we” aint being honest
-I’d rather live like shit then to pay for shadow conflicts
-We aint broke it’s the system that is broken
Blaming the system for societal issues.
This->is a modern day plantation and you know it
-Manufactured patriotism
Criticizing blind patriotism and the dangers of questioning authority.
Makes asking questions about secretive initiatives
-Just as dangerous as seals on a secretive mission
-Secret prisons people still in
Highlighting hidden injustices and societal awareness.
Even paranoid transients see the villains
-Sure I hear voices, telling me inhale the weed and always peer forward
Admitting to hearing unconventional thoughts.
Wandering this scorched earth
Describing a transient lifestyle and basic survival needs.
....just looking to score something to eat
-Get out of the rain, a blanket and somewhere to sleep
-...wondering if this alley and box is going to pan out,
-All you see is another grown man with his hand out
-...nothing to my name except for some books
Commenting on societal priorities and injustices.
While the cops watch everybody except for the crooks
-...and the people left on the hook, be like “ho-hum”
-Plus they get to pay for it too. This is so dumb
-A balancing act with peace as the fulcrum
Describing the struggle for balance in a conflicted society.
But what would I actually know? I’m just some smelly old bum
Reflecting on personal struggles and societal perceptions of the homeless.
Diggin through old crates feeding on bread crumbs
-Just another mother’s broken son who’s head’s gone
-........fumbling a basket mumbling some racket
-Under that bridge, where a normal man becomes a savage
-One man’s peace is another’s madness,
-You keep the illusion, i’ll just settle for a jacket
Choosing simplicity over societal illusions.
