chimezie - texas root rot lyrics

the pride that i’m swallowing ain’t being rationed out
keep the family close, what if they’re dragging down
above the gossip, not a part of all the yapping crowds
believers lying out of spite, what is that about
bite marks that i got weren’t from a stranger’s mouth
witnessed attacks in the past, i’ve seen those fangs in house
hopped between beliefs for relief, knew i had to bounce
threw out the same blind trust that lost samson’s crown
the home i had known a back and forth battle ground
endless path to choose from, this may be the saddest route
thought the weight was gone when i threw my cap and gown
the pressure contained, had discharged, but i’m glad it’s out

maybe i rather i had stayed blind to the masks
but what’s real if unable to face the lies and the facts
keep my eyes to the task, ponder on the present, future, nothing prior to that
bridges being burned, okay, got the fire to match
funny how the early worm the one to dive first in traps
took my time and relaxed, checked round the corner, it was clear, diverted my path
fear factored into goals, no longer frightened of wrath
not far+fetched at all to say i escaped the claws that were set
the flaws that needed addressing swept under carpets instead
toxic mannerisms, being seen as soft was a threat
like a clone void of soul, they just cross+stitched the head
ideas just hand me downs, got me wearing shoplifted threads
reality hit the chin like shawn michaels’ step
ostracism not fatal, hurt like a shot to the leg
clinging on to the bigger picture and cropped out the rest
adult perception, see how far indoctrination had led
deconstruction leading my heart to depart from my chest
ground zero, peruse through the fog and log where i fell
optimism a virtue, can’t say it was all for the best
