caged beasts

I shook and I yelled top of my lungs

But it didn’t shake my cell didn’t move the rungs

Im imprisoned in this body

But nobody can see me they see something else

They think im blessed im smart and im cultured

When im bleeding on the inside nestling a cultured wound

I was born to be different straight from the womb

You cant understand the lion when you feed him tofu for health

He cant roar because of all the bullshit you feed him

But I cant just point fingers at him or you

Gotta point em at me

I couldn’t be alone I couldn’t be left to be

I couldn’t be me had to be someone else

A shadow a feint

Constantly changing shapeshifters aint nothing

Im their very being

This is what your seeing

The sould of a fallen beast

Devouring himself in yeast and changed booze

Singing the blues new Orleans aint got shit on me

Im jazzy as can be

Im the reemergence like Jesus

Took me 3 years

Full of anger and tears but im back

Coming stronger than before

Its time to get up from the floor

And fly out the door

Im gonna make me

And if you want to open your eyes

come with me cleanse your lies

Start anew clean slate

And fill your plate with what you want

This is your life theres nothing in it that you cant
