I Sat in Hourglass and Pondered ft. J.$pirit Lyrics

I am a skeleton that's supping time

I savor it afore it dribbles down my femur

The pendulum strangles me, don't report a crime

Same force I use upon its father

Had a picnic at the beach, the sky above was glassy

Poseidon whispered ardent speech, that told me tides are turning

Conclusion wasn't hard to reach, with waves that smelled of destiny

That I was placed in hourglass to preach that grains are churning

Some yearn, purely for a Lambo

Hoping to feel full, when they get behind the wheel

I'm concerned, whether to put the lamb's blood

All around the windowsill or just round

Puertas, de mi hogar

Están mis ojos, incluidos

Mis cejas, podría pintar

Con sangre de mi pluma, yo veo

All the sandcastles they build to feed the tide

Alongside, are shells upon the beach they've sanctified

Drunk upon fruition

Olvidan el esfuerzo sembrado

Por lo tanto, tán agitados

When viewing ascension

There are

Whips, behind drapes

To make the circus run smooth

Dry soulscapes

Wet lips, could never soothe

This is bread without its leaven time

Staff in hand at suppertime

Others see a dead end

Where I perceive a stop sign

Used to want to disappear 

Future wasn't looking clear 

Wasted effort chasing fear 

Worried being too sincere 

People pleasing left me bleeding 

My old flame wanna have a meeting 

Blocked her then I swipe deleted 

Shawty was just too conceited 

I had to sit down had to ponder 

Found some substance now my courage feeling larger 

Since I found God all my confidence is stronger 

Read Philippians and now I'm stepping harder 

Now I never give up 

Change whole flow and my fit up 

My new bae praying me up

Get my spirit and my rizz up 

Feeling love from above 

Seeking peace chasing doves 

Gratified I give trust 

To the Father above 

Ok now I am the one

I ain't do this just for fun 

I ain't never been a thug 

But homie we could get it rough 

Now I know that I'm enough 

Don't need money or the drugs 

Read the scriptures and unplug 

Now I know I lack for nothing

I've labored not to not bury my talents

But every day's another challenge

To not let them bury me

Mom conveyed the import of balance

And honey said beware the talons

Of regret when I retrospect

But they both neglect to see

Often when the water's shallow, rope is short

And town is droughty, someone will arise

Who's willing to jump into well with a bucket

For sake of the thirsty

The woes of the human community

Motley with no ready remedy

Fain to identify

Pouty or hungry

My love

Doesn't give me butterflies

Rather hollow bones to fly

She whispers softly in my ear

And I soar high

I don't

Fret about the preordained

Pray to align my will with His

Hope He forbids

That my vigor ever wanes

Spirit showed up on the track

And paid respect, to how

I fall on my face, instead of my back

And told me

"Tie your laces

You were built to push the pace

Of every, sole in the pack

To leave every soul to unpack

What true purpose of running in this race is"

I said, "Goodness gracious

With my asthma, I could never do that

Without heavenly graces"

Though shadows, in the valley, are quite scary

We are called to stay wary, not worried

Sacrificed indulgence, for fulfillment

Gaze on the fruit of investment

Rather be the bellwether

Than on the bandwagon

I keep a belt upon my vigor

And a leash on my dragon

You wonder where my mind has wandered

But would likely shiver if you ever pondered yonder

I jog on trails others meander
