So Quiet Thereafter

Moves get abused when the rules are iffy
A tide pool full of fools and the schools are fishy
So many interviews and not one got the plizzy (the plot)
So when I touched down I got busy (why not?)
You can take it or purge
I came out the out the garden for this and this herb is absurd
The type of calm my nerves deserve
Please Do not disturb the vibes
Word!
It isn't real 'til it's realized
(speak!)
It's not a deal 'til the meal arrives (EAT!)
Yeah, I know a seer with a secret (shhh)
Let the freezer keep it 'til we need it
Dig deeper 'til we reach it
Medicate until we levitate
Breathe deep, feel forever great
Celebrate
Mitigate the weight on your shoulders
True!
It's a little late the party is over
Phew!
Deep relief, sweet leaf and water
All matters of importance need order

Breathing rooms at the Javits
Fires in Annapolis
A rom-com near the Pentagon
It was a riot at the Capitol
And you can hear them on the intercom
It’s a storm
This is a storm
Quiet thereafter
And oh, so quiet thereafter

Well look at here... look at this country
There are some things you cannot unsee
Mass prison
Man, listen
This is Caste division
In the inimitable words of Ms. Wilkerson
If not for you, read it for the children
They screamed COUP and then they left the building
I saw the same thing as you
So how you feeling?
That's not the floor, baby boy, that's the ceiling
I don't doubt that energy
Codes we carry are memory
To live authentically and to find identity
And that is why I sent me
Waiting for the hookup
Until I broke my chains
And when I chose to choose my name
Yeah, I told youngin’
Look up!
You gotta a light to claim
Scrolling up is not quite the same

The new night wilters
Blue light filters
The foundation isn't good as the realtor’s
Watch 'em!
The top rung's defined by the ones on the bottom
The system is explicitly rotten

Breathing rooms at the Javits
Fires in Annapolis
A rom-com near the Pentagon
It was a riot at the Capitol
And you can hear them on the intercom
It’s a storm
This is a storm
Quiet thereafter
And oh, so quiet thereafter
