Lose My Mind

from Work In Progress by Cory Tate

about

I been feelin befuddled my mentals a fuckin puddle/
All 2020 was for the birds, scuttle/
Everyone flockin around like mine, mine, mine/
Punch a pelican in the beak for the right kind shine/
All it took was a nudge from a chump in a spray tan/
yall let your grudges air us all out like a spray can/
The movement wouldn't budge, they got labeled a hate group/
While if you had a single blanket on your back like Blankman/
You were villainized and stripped of that which kept you warm/
In the middle of Corona shits a perfect storm/
You justify cops killin black people for sport/
Then got the nerve to be surprised when precincts get torched/
Bitch where, I'm on my Jay rock these days/
I got a shotgun in the crib won't hail a cop these days/
I know the world keeps spinning, helicopter blades/
But if it don't start spinning in more positive ways/
I might just flip out, cop a shuttle and dip out/
This planet is a trip, how sunken a place to get out/
I didn't buy any bitcoin, I'm feelin like I missed out/
Its all about the haves and the have nots, the with's and the without's/
The project hallways and the rich house/
The people in the middle, with a little bit of scratch, but not enough to spend how/
They wanna, its drama/
I don't believe in karma, but I hope that's something that I'm wrong about, cuz/

And I'm worried I might never get it back dog/
If I go down that I might stay down like Blackhawk/
Human beings are fucked up and thats a fact dog/
Most are only watchin out for their own backs dog/
I hope that you protect your energy, and keep those who triflin at bay/
I've had to drop a few bros cuz they weren't vibin the same/
We had a nice little thang we were tryin to cultivate/
But after years of ignoring it I couldn't look past the hate/
You can ask Brain, we had that discussion/
It wasn't an easy choice and I wouldn't wish it on no one/
But my best friends in a community he actively oppressed/
By simply opting not to vote yes, I let that go, that's/
Something I can forgive but I'm hoping she did/
I'm hopin she knows how important that she is to the kid/
I think she did cuz she made me the godfather to hers/
The most beautiful baby girl that I've seen on this earth/
She got that black girl magic twinkling in her eyes/
I understand what that is by having her in my life/
But I ain't looking forward to the day when she need advice/
On what to do when racism arrives/
I'll tell her I'm not really sure, I never had that experience/
I'd like to say to turn the other cheek like Martin Luthor did previous/
But if they don't let you take that high road/
Turn around and punch that bitch right in the nose, then tell your Nino bet you I'm/
