Hampton or Malcolm Lyrics

I'm tired of trying to get what's owed to me, that's getting old to me

Trying to find my soul to be, not them lies that you sold to me

I won't let you get the satisfaction

Through your actions, not to mention the captions

I can see you ain't have no problem dividing the fraction

Our interactions only a mere distraction for your thrills

No wonder I saw them as attractions

Lowered my guard for a second, you stated attacking

Looked for my clarity, my flaws were getting tracked and

Through it all, I try to manage; i'm called to the damage

The walls I abandoned that saw that I was banished

From ever even getting a chance to seem to vanish

Withdrawals from the abandonment

I seem to lose my control because I can't handle it

Keep bandaging the damages

The more I ask is like the more have

Problems hit and dash, it's too close to me

Rather switch my path, and take up wrath

End up in them shacks, but that's how it's supposed to be

I feel like I'm cursed dead man walking on this wretched Earth

Cause in my head, it don't matter the outcome

You ain't ever going to be Hampton or a Malcolm

X for that matter, the mecca

You so hope to breathe will have you exhaling bullets from a baretta

Might as well before you cast us down to hell, least tell us the weather

But I guess life is more about adding to the flame than what you sever

Ayah Ese Asa Ogwe, entered in courses but there's no foreplay

Oh, Wimoweh I know the story

I have woken up from this desolate quarry

Looked over and under and yonder, there's nothing for me

Been through a bundle of tunnels, feel like I'm colder than Kobe

Know little 'bout my hunger and yet they claim to know me

Affirming that one can cumber but they never show me

C'est la vie; should I even care what they say 'bout me

The more that they stare feel like the Great Ali

Flow like a Cassius Lunge, Muhammad in my speech

The butterfly yet to come, caterpillars without flaunting leaves

The more I ask is like the more have

Problems hit and dash, it's too close to me

Rather switch my path, and take up wrath

End up in them shacks, but that's how it's supposed to be

I feel like I'm cursed dead man walking on this wretched Earth

Cause in my head, it don't matter the outcome

You ain't ever going to be Hampton or a Malcolm

It happens, the more I look back into the past tense

The more I look back into my past friends

The less I feel like things ever lasting

I need not, see not my mistakes

Because if we stop, we rot all the way

No, I can't have us go out that way

I need a new shift that can handle the breaks

And the stakes, and the aches

And the sakes, God won't forsake me

Living to die ain't the way to go

I just know I just can't let it go today

Want to be a Malcolm today

Want to be a Hampton today

I want to be something to say

I want mine until it's away

The more I ask is like the more have

Problems hit and dash, it's too close to me

Rather switch my path, and take up wrath

End up in them shacks, but that's how it's supposed to be

I feel like I'm cursed dead man walking on this wretched Earth

Cause in my head, it don't matter the outcome

You ain't ever going to be Hampton or a Malcolm
