Made a beat, chopped up some MFDOOM acapellas and played around with the flow.

I Believe In Yesterday

For three years, I have found myself chained to a computer. I have been furiously studying, writing and creating music, most of which has been hiding in a cloud somewhere. This track is part of a Media English project that had us consider our contribution to igniting the Eighth Fire from the Prophecy of the Seven Fires of the Anishinaabek. As my contribution, I have chosen to break through my inhibitions, embrace my vulnerability, and cast my thoughts onto the battlefield of ideas. This battlefield is where we work out our differences through the clashing of lyrical swords. I created this beat last year, however, the lyrics I wrote as part of my creative process for this project. So, I express myself honestly and open my thoughts to the sacred act of argumentation.

Profitably Partitioned People

Pondering past my intellectual grasp 
Conscious calculating chemicals 
We’re movin’ to fast
Virtuous as we go about the day 
Stacking pounds, products, dollars 
Too many bundles of hay
At some point the bubble explodes 
Souffle’s collapse, castles decompose
Our systems are built on trust
Confident that our daily endeavours are just 
Distracted by flashy reflections
Scrolling aimlessly through life
With imbalanced intentions
Caught in the void of a hungry hole 
Fancy feast for fat cats slopped in a bowl 
Got grievances insurmountable
So these calloused hands are writing rhymes infallible 
You can argue these lines smell like cheese
But look around, we’re in the belly of the beast
De la sol said the stakes is high
You know them stakes is high?

Find the beat, find the beat 
I ran with it while I watched the world pass by me 
A diamond in the rough 
Under pressure 
Yes Sir, 
I can run with beat 
I’m street meat 
Scratching rhymes on the sheets 
Looooove 
It’s oh so tough 
I’m pressed up hard  
Like a diamond in the  
Rouuuuugh. 
How you gettin' paid my man? 
It’s all about gettin' paid my maaan. 
I feel the House flaking like rust 
No trust 
You got zero capital, they Won’t trust 
They got all the capital you Can’t trust 
When desperation spreads Please trust! 
In one another 
Remember, Remember 
Together we’re Stronger 
So talk it out 
Cross them lines 
Listen to those we accuse of crimes 
It’s all we have 
And if there’s nothing left 
Then... 

Got grievances insurmountable
So this calloused mind is writing rhymes infallible 
You can argue these lines smell like cheese
But look around, we’re in the belly of the beast
De la sol said the stakes is high
You know them stakes is high?
