Ravens (feat. Adrian Marxis & Doni-B)

This is my policy
This is my ninja way
I live it honestly
With no apologies
I'm who I oughta be
That's why it's hard to change
But when it's time to mobilize
I'll fight the wind and rain

If you see God in me
I am the human race
Quarter biology
One-quarter odyssey
One-quarter lottery
We're wonderfully made
One-quarter patience we
Weather the wind and rain

I co-invest in my community
I call my people up at every opportunity
Everyone assumes I choose the music for the truancy but truthfully
I used it just to get people atune to me it's usually an
Ice breaker
Twice a lifesaver
Under bright lights I slice through my failure
On the right nights I call the stars angels
Like a zeitgeist I might do slight favors but

I been
Tasked and burdened with
Glorious purpose
I'm just doing what you supposed to do
When you're this much of a wordsmith
Change faith in nonbelievers
Gift sight to non-seers
So they can see where I'm coming from and still crack veneers
Bite down for bone marrow
It's harrowing how I'm
Serving it
Hot plates made of plastic
If it melts they say I'm burning it
But you was never welcome in the kitchens that we cooking in
The records that we made and broke
While you claimed that you coulda been
But look at the positions that I'm I made
Magic
I put you on them same stages you folded
Tragic
But you can't walk on water just cuz Jesus did
That's blasphemous
The abq crash dummies still crashing
Yeah They blast for us
Massacres
World ending
Collateral damage
Depending on where they aiming
They saving the souls of the lost
It's one syllable at a time
It's a prayer in every line and a vaccine in every rhyme
A penny for my thoughts just imagine me with a dime

I'm actually stacked full of panic attacks but it's fine
If you want the action I have it in massive supply
You think it's all pride, surprise when you find that it's not
My future self practically talks to me from the beyond
I tell it in songs
I take a gajillion grains of salt and sprinkle it on
I stay conflicted and by default I weather my storms
Like me you and bobby blue
The feeling is gone

Dreams bigger than the city he rep he figured hes next
Free thinker tryna get to these checks
And girls checking in tryna see if figures be bless
So they dont ever gotta deal with the stress I tell em chill (you gotta chill)
I know certain people who never learn till they fail (yuh)
I know certain cougars treatin youngins like gazelles (yuh)
I know you be thinkin bout me hit me on my cell (yessir)
And anything you reveal I'm keeping it to myself
You lookin for somethin real I'm just tryna find the truth
Closest thing I've seen is an artist in a booth
They call me Doni-b I came a long way
And if you bet on me I just might get you paid

If you could have it any way you want
Would you make yourself a billionaire or make yourself savant
Make yourself a public hero spread the miracles around
Is a better world to you a world that
Puts you in the front of those you're better than
On the Internet or in your head again
Go back on your medicine
If its how I want
I'll take a feather pen
And pen a Hemingway
To weigh my options
And show nothing for it
Out the door's a forest worth of not enoughs and throw aways
Edgar Allen Poe ain't seen a poet like him
Up until I hear the Ravens croaking at the door
It's time to go away
Edgar Allen Poe ain't seen a poet like him
Up until I hear the Ravens croaking at the door
It's time to go
