Am I that predictable?
Is this question even applicable
What is this feeling that is churning inside?
What am I trying to hide?
I’m an open book so the is a nasty equation to the reality I’m in
Try to cut it like a wire to a bomb but I’m a blind man
So I sit here lost in my mind and explode over here all alone
I think you’re all in on it but the sad thing no one really knows
So I play this sick game between my flesh and my soul
If you feel me you understand they go toe to toe
Trying to see the world through only spirit
So many people around me can’t adhere to it
Making me think I’m loosing my mind just cause aren’t sure they can foresee what’s within mine
Only way I can express myself is through paper and pin
I guess I’ll just wake up tomorrow and start over again

Space Cadet won’t you come down
Keep your chin up girl and put on your crown
You know you’ll wrinkle your face if you continue to frown
Hit another blunt girl and let it all out

I have a family and a life I love
Can’t seem to shake the stress of being a woman in a world so ****** up
Want people to think I’m pretty
Never want anyone’s pity
Been through **** you’d think was too gritty but here I am smiling
Smoking cigarettes everyday but my teeth still shining
You like my word play and the way that I am
But live in me for a day and you’ll see how empty this being can be
You know my face but you don’t know me
Only see what I want you to see
Open book but still it happens subconsciously
Working on my glow up and just being me

Space Cadet won’t you come down
Keep your chin up girl and put on your crown
You know you’ll wrinkle your face if you continue to frown
Hit another blunt girl and let it all out

Deep breathing and a namaste are not enough sometimes to get me through my days
I pass it off like I’m okay and I will be
I have a better future coming than you or I could see
Separate myself from my mind and body
And float away but not too far so I can still find me

Space Cadet won’t you come down
Keep your chin up girl and put on your crown
You know you’ll wrinkle your face if you continue to frown
Hit another blunt girl and let it all out
