sick song, goes all over the place!!! and so much detail...

A shallow brook bubbling 
Turning way with each storm
Forming shorter paths to pare away the energy

Centuries of currents move
Colliding sediment
And our problems pile onto another enemy
Leaving isolated crescents of a memory

Those monumental footnotes of history
Can't keep a culture sealed away
Anymore

Until then, entrench!

Lyrics:
"The impeded stream
 is the one that sings"
[ Wendell Berry wrote it
And if you know me, 
you know my worst quality 
Is that I believe the poets ]
I don’t have to be good!!
The world calls like wild geese 
Tells me I belong here 
In the family of things
Cotton candy, rainy days 
Every home a dog-eared page 
I might just let the goldenrods 
Give a me a new name 

[ This is my rebellion
It’s long overdue 
To believe that life is beautiful 
Even if it’s not true 
One in eight billion
And somehow I found you
It’s enough to make a skeptic 
Change her tune ]

Stand still and be astonished at the view
Until my one wild and precious life is through
I’ll do my work, loving the world and you 
I'll do my work: loving the world and you

rebellion

Lyrics:

I’m thankful for the doctors and for medical advancements 
And I promise I am grateful and I don’t take it for granted
But I’ve never liked needles, I just held my breath
Watched the sound waves paint a picture on the imaging test

I know I’m lucky to be here when life could be much more unfair 
And I’m thankful for the doctors but I’m still a little scared 
Can’t help but feel some kind of shaken, unbalanced, unprepared 
And I’m thankful for the doctors, but I’m still a little scared 

Little capsules on my nightstand
Silent and humble and life-saving 
I’m so happy they exist but
I’m so sad I’ve got to take them

And it’s another day fighting rejected claims
And paying out of pocket, not pocket change
I guess no news is good news 
But I can’t take more of the same

I know I’m lucky to be here when life could be much more unfair 
And I’m thankful for the doctors but I’m still a little scared 
Can’t help but feel some desperation, won’t let it slip into despair
‘Cause I’m thankful for the doctors, but I’m still a little scared 

But maybe no news is good news?
I’m shaken, I’m confused
I’m grateful, I’m lucky
Relapse and recovery, repeat 
That no news is good news
Regress and then improve 
Unbalanced, unprepared
I’m a little bit scared 

But maybe no news is good news.
I’m shaken, I’m confused
I’m grateful, I’m lucky
Relapse and recovery, 
Repeat that no news is good news
Be brave ‘cause I have to 
Unbalanced, uprepared
I’m a little bit scared 
 
And there’s been so much bad news 
Don’t know if I can push through 
It’s awful, it’s unfair 
I can’t help it, I’m scared

I know that it’s a privilege
to even get this kind of care. 

So I’m thankful for the doctors
I’m thankful for the doctors
God bless all my doctors
But I’m still a little scared
I'm still a little scared

in the waiting room

So many years wasted in drug abuse
But those experiences made Courrier Rouge
We was mixing malt liquor with days old orange juice
Beside the school we used to slurp noodle soup
Mans don’t reminisce cuz I'm stuck in the past but
I wanna understand how we built this man, times passed
So fast, yesterday we was smokin grass on train tracks
Without even a patch for my ass

Get so lost in anxiety traps
So I build a bigger back, más fuerte, más jacked
Done too much bulk so I gotta cut back
But forget the vanity, no looks are gonna last
Only do reps for the joy of hitting kilograms
Cuz ya can’t see real growth on instagram
Spread this message like Grandmaster Flash
My one true plan, that’s treasure, treasure in the sand

Just observe
Pay attention to actions, forget words
When they do it right, give rewards
Don’t tolerate egoism, just what’s deserved
People worry about the economy
I’m old poor so none of this is new to me
Money mart purchases, call it usuary
Nuff to buy from Super C, usually

My inspiration working class education
Bare trials, bare tribulations
Been an infrequent mental patient
Middle fingers up every time I read my bank statement
Too many mans worry about themselves on the gram
Like, share, follow, turn yourself into brands
Step back, down to Earth, touch grass with your hands
Contemplate blessings, that's the new plan

Listen to emotions
When one feels heard it’s potent
Separate threads intertwine become woven
How can we prolong this moment?
Create this oneness?
Same as building core, doing crunches
Try to connect with what yall feeling
Turn this feeling into our healing
