Hollywood Africans

In you I can see Some essential reflections of me You teach me, you teach me to Guard not with walls but boundaries Overtime, I've seen So much shit it's clear to me that All I have to do to be Is look at me (You) with honesty When things ain't going south boy, don't you feel it? Can't you feel the power, don't you sense the realness? While we're manifesting mangles lines and faux tantric feelings We could be manifesting marble floors and french ceilings Mercury ceilings, mercury sealed it, mouth shut, you wouldn't wanna hear it But now I know that there were things that needn't be said 'Cause same ain't dead We're Hollywood Africans Now I won't say it was nothing I felt that pain it was something I felt my blood get to rushing When you ain't see it was frontin' But I can't blame you for doing you through and through 'Cause that's what I needed too but then with deflecting you My wings with trust they flew It's this fragility that might be the death of me It keeps me up with it's heckling Do they really ride? Are they on your side? Would they let it slide? If you were gonna die, would they really cry or would it be a lie?
