I Against I

Desolate state of mind, this fate of mine Mines blast, take me off the beaten path so that I can find My destination, 'cause I’ve been waitin’ To uncover this talent-latent Lay dormant, I’ve been patient Now I’m a patient I can’t endure this I felt secure when they told me that He would cure this So I mean no disrespect sir But I’m taking things into my own hands, this is not contempt, sure It was once complacency facin’ me, but I need to be more efficient Self-sufficient, to the adjacent be Me, myself, and the few who believe In this optimistic view of change Please, call me naïve Because conceived was the thought of unity You and me. Community. An Opportunity to weave us all together To a smooth texture Release a sweet nectar into this sector An atmosphere riddled by lies; deceit Call the protector Defeat of brothers, for another Unworthy cause And to those of you who know, my word is bond Just stay true, I’ll see you beyond
