Saharan sands/unfold around the caravan
The leader calls a halt/with a motion of his left hand
Air as hairy as the/dromedary and its scary
to think its been a week/since they even had any
Food, water/the shortage drawing ever closer
To the moment where the desperation/makes em grow bolder
And you never know/cause the leaders come and go
No Kings in this land/of God's undertow
Starin at the peak from the base/wasn't so bad
Now I'm barely up the mountain/and I lost a whole hand
Thinkin of my son and my mum/and yeah you has
My need to run away/like a demon within a paper bag
So I'm thinking abseiling/off it like a bad railing
Could be home for supper/but sucker, you know I'm not failing
Still got my feet/mon esprit/et si tu rappelais
I will never fall or be conquered/because it's not worth it
I am the peak of the mountain/and this is my sermon
So get your feet off the ground/and start to rock to it
You'll see me soon enough/just open up to my music
Open up to my music/live and learn and mob to it
Money doesn't matter/to generations of my students
Silent as Zachariah/and open as the Buddha
We'll do away with the coffers/and learn to live to the truest
20,000 deep/that's a lot of dead Benjamins
Uni is never cheap/and I'm finna become successfulish
Needin to get some sleep/but this paper is seeming senseless
Fail another class and I'm/shackin up with my rents again
So it's HAM or go home
Rather OD on Adderall/than give the dog a bone
Saw a cutie and added all/her digits to my phone
Sat down, at it all/night studyin alone
Call me Ulysses/as I navigate the seas with a pedigree
I'm huntin for a place to call home/with my Penelope
Trials attemptin trouble/but I'm cunning as ever b
A human hearted hare/hrair on every side of me
But never think I'm out here/all alone
There's a hero on every ship/a fleet you can call your own
Never forget motherfucker/you sittin at the throne
I will never fall or be conquered/because it's not worth it
I am the peak of the mountain/and this is my sermon
So get your feet off the ground/and start to rock to it
You'll see me soon enough/just open up to my music
Open up to my music/live and learn and mob to it
Money doesn't matter/to generations of my students
Silent as Zachariah/and open as the Buddha
We'll do away with the coffers/and learn to live to the truest
