Now
Mental slavery is a bitch eh
Mental slavery
If you deal with what mental slavery is
Really what Mental slavery is
Mental slavery has to do with the fact that
Even if you can get rid of a narrative
That has been
That you have been indoctrinated with
A narrative that that that that that
Was given to you within processes that are like what happened in slavery
You still trapped in the neurological processes of the brain
Where thought
It always wants to be in control
Right, so even if it were possible for you to to purge yourself of that indoctrination
Yuh still trapped in the disconnect
That thought puts you into
Yes
So the idea of emancipating yourself from mental slavery is a total impossibility
That doesn't mean your not going to be vigilant about thought patterns 
And the kind of fascist control that thought always want to have
Over and and and and you'll say over what
At the end it's over your body
Cuz that is that is where the action is

I'm reaching places in my mind
I thought I'd never see.
Complications brought on by the
C O V I D
Could it be 5G
Could it be
Chinese
I don't need no keys
I'm housed up in conspiracies

Five g
The latest super-fast wireless technology
Is somehow transmitting the virus
Via radio waves
From five g cell towers like these
Authorities say anti-five g extremists
Do you believe it
Tell me now

To be honest witchu
I thought I'd see this whole thing break down.
To be honest witchu
I thought I'd see this whole ship wreck now.
But still I managed
To stay afloat
In this holy boat
Sinking
I know it's moments before below
Casting my vision
As far as I can throw it
Im seein an image
Of other poets holy boatin
In ocean
Floating by
Should I believe my eyes
Or is like another
Sweet mirage in the sky
Then who supplied this lie
Toes are frozen
I
Have no time for pie
Can I
At least
Catch a vibe
Yo what's the price of fiction
I don't know but listen
Some tryna fight eviction
They chose to fill the kitchen
Cause they got hungry children
And cannot leave the building
They phoned them twice tonight
To pay for light
So how they livin

To be honest witchu
I thought I'd see this whole thing break down.
Break it break it break it down
To be honest witchu
I thought I'd see this whole ship wreck now.
Wreck it wreck it wreck it now
To be honest witchu
I thought I'd see this whole thing break down.
Break it break it break it down
To be honest witchu
I thought I'd see this whole ship wreck now.
Wreck it wreck it wreck it now

Was I too naive
Nah they had a hella practice
To deceive
Four hundred years exactly
And they sowed they seeds
And still reaping
Off the trees that bring disease
Somebody please
Tell me
How do I make sense of it
Go about collecting it
Mind body spirit split
Damn I feel the deficit
Damn if it ain't some devil shit
Can you feel the fire
If ya outside of the breast of it
Or standing on the precipice
Mesmerized staring eyes
Terrible beauty
Rapidly approaching
Deadlines encroaching
Consume thee
Fallin by way side
A side
Now hotter than me
Inna state of paralysis
Out of this mind
For a moment I B
Tryna fight prophecy with philosophy
And eye can't C
Which way they go
Which way they flow
They stole the gold
And changed the code
Damn

I thought I'd see this thing break down
Down
I thought I'd see this thing break down
Down
I thought I'd see this thing break down
Down down
