j-live - 9000 miles lyrics

{stroke} {stroke} {stroke} {stroke} {stroke} {stroke} {stroke}
{stroke}
{stroke}
{stroke}
{stroke}

my mind speaks mathematics
sometimes i feel english is a poor translation of my hearts palpations
that’s why i give it to you quarter notes at a time
so that my rhymes are aided by body gyrations
but now it’s like each hymn ain’t nothing but a word with–
countless synonymns where should i begin with them?
every +sentence+ is a jail bid
locking me in to +bars+ of meaning with so much sp-ce between them
and it’s all real
if i took a little bit of time
to reflect on the unreal my brain might peel off my mind
to reveal this pegasus spree well
whole-sale fairytale echo in a conch sh-ll
but why say it if you can’t see it?
i can call it abstract and say take what you want from it
i could do that all day till my tongue goes numb from it
but see what good will come from it?
i got something to say, i can’t run from it
i gotta confront it. i can’t watch while this…
music that taught me so much as a child
grows louder every day but the world grows dumb from it
so every line that i draw from my pen
it shapes a letter that makes a word that feeds a verse
a swim for home, a place for infinite styles
but it feels like 9000 miles
so i…

{stroke} through atlantic
{stroke} through the pacific
{stroke} through the indian
{stroke} through the arctic
{stroke} through the cold current
{stroke} through the warm current
{stroke} to the fare in the foul for 9000 miles
{stroke} like your swimming from the sharks and the slave ships
{stroke} from a suicide jump to a brave trip
{stroke} like you see sh0r- line in the distance
{stroke} like if you don’t, you’ll drown any instance

so here we are again
the same sp-ce in mind but now we in a different place at a different time
a different taste to a different rhyme
with so many flavors to embrace, i can’t waste a line
so i’m going for self with no hesitation
cause my– self expression is my self preservation
my sk!lls pay bills to fulfill my will to do for others what i do for myself
like motivation through verses as if it was a virtual conversation
on the pros and the cons of a real situation
inspired by my knowledge of self determination
to ease the frustrations of miseducations
this wise god music from i takin your eye
from trials and tribulations to kingdom in the patience
this wide hallpath is beaten by beats
made from good vibrations p-ssed down for generations
on a…

i get hyped. i get home at night. i get a beat in my head
i get my book to write, i get writers block
i get so stressed that i get dope rhymes from it, just to get rest
i get frustrated from this old world mess
so when i got to get the bad air out my chest
i get on the mic and strive to be the best
but it’s not just the flow, there’s more to the test
i gotta spit like there’s no time to waste
spit like i can’t take away this life taste
spit for rebellion, spit for resistance
spit for accuracy, spit for distance
i can’t just spit that sh-t you could market
even though i know we got the same target
and i can’t just spit that old rhetoric
i gotta spit what’s ten steps ahead of it
i gotta spit for the life of my kids
and not just the next meal for my next deal
i feel like these rhymes could shape tommorow
so they could walk through it with a little less sorrow
i gotta spit out the mouth these protections
and stick and move these lines for perfection
i gotta spit sh-t no one ever thought of
spit like i’mma choke on the salt water
when i…
