Keep Dreaming

Rap goals putting gold on my walls like a Mayan shaft Let it touch my mind like a dimebag Walk you through these rhymes like a line dance One of one design like it's Minecraft Mood is a crescent moon The room is better as confession booth They tax your wages then they say they want the best for you Savage land X-men travelers is just above the clouds Urgency is how my music sound This a living thing can't stay trapped in the machine Feel like it's my season like some African cuisine I know you struggling to put me in a category That's why I rap in all this allegory Still I'm gon' keep it black n blanco Then I keep an extra condo I'm balling with my brothers like I'm Lonzo Yeah I keep it truest to a fault, it's truest like a pulse With my long term homies rocking hoodies like a cult I'm up in white churches setting racists on fire But I'm in the negro leagues unless I sound like John Piper I guess I'm Jackie Robinson A black man reading college lit Japanese comic strips Backpack full of Common Sense The modern day prophets set to making God androgynous I don't listen to them bro, I listen to economists I don't listen to perspectives that tryna stay homogenous These all black voices teach the opposites Dr. Boyce Watkins and Dr. Sherman Watkins All in my subconscious turning purpose into profits If you think I lost the gospel cuz I say I seek to prosper This the economic posture that prepares you for adoption Yo my blade cut the flame of the candle light Afro samurai, I'm still a little camera shy Conscious wave with my high top fade Got me loyal to the faith in my royal blue J's My rhymes sound like cursive, Paul's pen to the churches I'm all up in the scroll till its clicking like a cursor This wordplay caviar No mainstream caveats Half the time you speaking to my avatar My catalog is trust fund security in stock market crashes All I can contribute is compassion I ain't even worried bout these rappers This is kingdom and it's power I ain't selling you a genre, all you need is an encounter Keep dreaming, yo The cloud of witnesses is cheering me on I'm watching Black Panther rocking some Sierra Leone I take a peek northeast and I can see the modern slaves If you looking at your phone you should screenshot your face And Lord help me, I don't wanna die a selfie I don't wanna lie to listeners and hear 'em say they felt me That's too literal, I'm drinking Flint's water for the minerals You hiding something calling me a liberal That's why I'm cool on Johnny Manziel's interview If I did what he did y'all be calling me a criminal So keep dreaming Lil Uzi Vert been playing with the demons Got us downplaying Lucifer and legion All these school shootings and we scramble for the reasons Leaving all the strippers living off singles like Khadijah You just tweeting all your problems When your feet been playing opossum Take the beating from the problem Then defend it like it's Stockholms The devil's in the details The devil is in retail Sneaker heads will tell you that the devil up in resale And we just moving how we told to follow It's like a vote for Donald like forbidden jutsu from Orochumaru And that's that anime acumen on accident Before you know what's happening it hit you like a pathogen Turn you from a food stamp applicant to academic Put a tax on every sacrament just like you sacrilegious I'm not your average Christian You won't find me in a Gallup poll Find me picking olives out my salad bowl Me and Tragic Hero in the Jag eating empanadas Laughing at your albums switching through the genres And I'm dying to myself, some reminders to myself I ain't selling you a product 'less I'm trying it myself Lemme show you how to testify Something that you recognize—swimming in His grace And get these rhymes off as exercise Homie this is exercise Slow metabolism but an extra vibe Now relationships is getting jeopardized Still it's feeling like such and such a special time I'm from The Mid, I'm from The West I'm only in The South as a guest You never run your mouth if you blessed God been good homie, so imma cut the step Yeah, imma cut the step Keep dreaming Swoope the genius
