lyrics
Intro (E. Oks):
I said, “No one’s spitting like E. Oks, his flow’s just so filthy,”
But no there isn’t an ego, just so much that fills me.
I stopped given the me so much facetime in my films, b,
And now I’m living with the whole big universe that built me
Verse One (E. Oks):
I recently stopped caring how I’m sounding,
Now I use that energy to care about surroundings,
Staring at astounding,
Evidence that Evan is not separate from everything around him (nope).
Nor is it from him,
See it’s as formative as kin,
Since there’s no essential self that is dormant in his skin,
So I doubt you’d get very far
Thinking that the difference between you and where you are’s
Not just technicality,
We live in projected realities,
Mind’s perception slept in a fallacy
Then forgot to wake up, so it spends its days stuck
In a bed of “me” and “mine,”
Addicted to the self, steady sippin on this venom he reclines.
And this enemy of mine
That they’re letting lead the blind
Has a mind of his own,
As he enters via spine and then proceeds to clime
In the D.O.M.E.
Verse Two (D.O.M.E.):
Most of these rappers live in virtual realities
Outrageous behaviors contagious, brings the worse shit outta me
Instead of acting like I don't care
About all y'all doubting me
I cut myself open and will express
My problems outwardly.
Yeah, we could all buy fitteds,
Hide behind shades,
Write a song, make a blog
You know the digital age,
But how you gonna live this shit
If the foundation is fake?
Sure you look the part
But tell me does it translate to page? (Nope)
Cause if it don't then reconsider those bars
If you're trynna know your fans,
Let ‘em know who you are
Not just on the weekends
but I’m talking ‘bout the day to day,
Let ‘em know what’s up,
They'll hold you down
like a paperweight
you might heard me say
"Check out my swaggg"
Sometimes true that,
But behind closed doors
I feel frightened and trapped,
Cause these rappers fail to realize
That most of us are equals
Just very different people,
Yo, shout goes out to E.Oks
