RUN
Nyota Parker Lyrics


Fluidity
A spectrum
From one end to the other
Just like butter
It's spread and smothered
Like, on your bread it's covered
I don't need your jam to recover from what you said was dry
Because I, you see
Can and will use all means necessary
To make us see eye to eye
See, eyes don't see eye
Then cry looking up to the sky wondering "why
Why I
Why mine
My happiness" but you're blind
Didn't you say that was bliss
Sis, I'm confused
But I'd rather be that than used
Unapproved
But you proved that you will bend to all their rules
While I bend the rules
You're sitting up on their stools
Being spoon fed
They're adjusting your seat level
And telling you go to bed
Making you comfortable enough to
Deepen your slumber
To deep end your followers
Keep stems of your problems
Weaken, now your crumbling
Peep in to your trauma
And creep into your struggles
Now, it's the end
You're abducted
And flung across the universe
Tell me if it hurts when you hit the other end of the Spectrum
Fluidity
"Run!", I was instructed
At the sound of the gun
I sunk back into my seat nibbling on what was left to eat
The door swung wide
But little did I know it wasn't open for me
But still I jumped to my feet
When I heard that door creak
While I'm mesmerized they fetishize that moment in the spotlight
When I reach my hand out
It seeps through the bars
Like my bars, like carbon monoxide
By that time you'll realize
It's too late
'Cause you thought that while
I'm in this cage
I awaited my shine
And sadly reached my peak
Or rather my plateau
Little did you know that the ceiling was too low for me
It occurred to me that perhaps my way up
Is my my way through
Like, remember in those cartoons
Where we'd get confused
Like look at this dude, he only has like two bars
But I can still see his way through
What a fool
That's what us artists think of ourselves
We're not selfish enough
I cry on these 4 steel walls but they'll get rusted
While you come up to me asking
"I'm surprised... Are you still doing this music thing"
I contemplate replying like
"I'm surprised that emotionally you haven't spontaneously combusted"
So yes, I'm still doing this music thing
And when you just hear me rap and sing
You forget you're blocking out your vision
While I have a 3rd sense feeling that I'm sprouting wings
From the outside, you hear it
From the inside, you see it
From within you can feel it
It all just depends on your perspective
So, I just gotta stop feeling down irrespective
Of the collective going ahead of me 'cause to be honest
It's not them that's making me feel this way or trapped to go figure
I guess it's just me looking in a stagnant mirror
