joseph idoko – toes in the ocean lyrics

[ joseph idoko ]

f-cking with the struggle since i jumped into the jungle
casualties automatically coming with the bundle
of the pigment of my skin so the position that i’m in
is either life inside of prison or my vision getting dim
allahu akbar
forgiveness for my sins, meditation regardless of the religion i begin
the testament that i’m reading or the distance of my limbs
when i’m praying to a god i know the difference is within
and as of now it isn’t bullets or a snippet of some gin
but it’s the blood of a black boy
black just like the galaxy, black just like the big bang
black just like a cavity, black just like the tragedies of israel and casualties
just like the time at the night where the stars is
i gotta bring the brightness and light to the darkness
and that’s what the whole staten island involves in
it gives me inspiration to write what’s important
it’s hard though, when you’re stuck in a mist
of problems and the majority doesn’t exist
so you always second guessing and asking an extra question so then you always digress to much to love and flourish
it persists
to my mother thinking it’s something
it’s nothing except my mind’s under destruction
i always hate seeing my pops living off functions
i know he hates seeing me hate seeing him struggling
but when i’m seeing the condition that he’s in
and the condition of the world full of images of sin
if he could stay strong just to sit with me again
then the world can do the same and my vision’s to begin
to start building and building, just like he did
to make an even better world for my kids kids kids because
it don’t matter how hard your flock sway
a bird ain’t going nowhere in a locked cage
[outro : sam cooke]

oh yes, i’m the great pretender
pretending i’m doing well
my need is such
i pretend too much
i’m lonely but no one can tell
