The waters are kind I take my wars to the tide I kneel and call on my guides I set it off at the shrine I pray to Allah for salaam And viola I'm undone And by God don't haram It's Jannah when I die It's heaven I don't fall for enemy lines Shit I'm divine I'm evermore I'm 'head of my time But I get shy Insecure The sensitive type I need a sign a metaphor if everything's fine Coz I've got A bandwagon of bad habits I'm carrying Cash-strapped and half of this mathematics won't tally It's a sad fallacy Mad that my rap canon is facts But my bank balance is lagging Don't understand it Mad my rap canon's just passionate rants So mad that I'm ransacking the palace for scraps Facts I won't scramble for cash Coz like half of these Mad Hatters need Alice for that Anxiety kills I write I drink I pray A scribe at the fringe I hide in the wings all day I cry on a whim My vices might win this race Reciting the hymns We're dying for sins today Piety piety Do it for the irony Lie to me I don't need truth I need a pyre There's fire on both sides I tried but won't die I tried
