KRYPTONITE

Tell me how I’m supposed to think
When every single stimulus is noise
Overcrowded I’m bowin at the brink
I be doubting everything
Shouting at the ceiling just loud enough to drown out the deepest need to eat
I mean, I’m seekin' out the street in my mind
Playin chicken with the headlights
Know they finna flinch first, I heard what bein dead like
Race me wit these Flintstones, I’m really livin Fred life
Put the feet to pavement once I really get my head right
Until then, it’s just an ideation
The only place that I’m invincible inside my basement
I beat so many monsters up when I was a shorty
I base my faith in my defense, so that’s why I’m the safest
In places like the crib, be feelin like my mom embraces
Like, engrave my name in what becomes my favorite bracelet
I know, I know, I got more time but ain’t no time to waste it
That’s why my mind is goin places, gave no time to patience
I’m tryna quiet down my visions Silence my cynicism
Alliances turn to vigils, it’s violence in my mental
I’m cryin, it’s myosin in my pen when I’m penning memories
Centered on stupid similes splintering like a centipede
That mean my pen strong but it be takin time to guide it
I’m not as strong as y’all thought, I ain’t got time to hide it
It’s like all of y’all thought I’m Superman or somethin
My kryptonite was home, I’d be cool to die inside it
At least the crib is where I know the love was really real
A lotta people started showin how they really feel
I gotta take the time and space so I can really heal
But can I really heal?
Fuck it
