Call Us by Our Names - Malaki

I wanna go back when people had a Walkman

I wanna go back to when people still talk man

I wanna go back to when funny was Charlie chaplain

But I guess I can’t man

But I guess I can’t man

'Cause that’s life

Progression at its finest

But then why are human minds

Regression, lack of kindness

Obsession to a screen no smile you cannot find this

Time when society was at its highest

Now I’m busy checking times

'Till it’s fucking timeless

Full time shifts to the dark I don’t abide this

Start a revolution from your bed call me your highness

Now additions to your life through what they said end up a minus

So start afresh

Clean your head and clean your sinus

'Cause you never know your last

'Till you’re dead and close your eyelids

No you never know your last till you’re

Dear diary I know it’s been a while

But the whiles been longer since I’ve seen a brother smile

The worlds love seems in denial

When all it takes is a push of a dial

See we’re oppressed to a number and tested on a file

You never know you could be the best Tom or Kyle

But I guess you’ll have to wait till change comes through trial

And error

But for now we see death we see terror

We see scratched faces through cracked mirrors

And we still think we’re seeing clearer

Murder a man over a dispute ain’t that a killer

I see fields and meadows in a time of bliss

But how you can achieve this with no time for shit

Work for money and money for the work

'Till you find yourself abiding to this systematic murk

Is that it?

Grow old, foretold by the man before you

Dance on the grave forgotten we can’t afford to

Take a trance in your brain for the night to make it through

But only lasts so long yes I thought you knew

Dear diary it’s me again, your old friend

The one who complained and explained the inevitable end

So I ask will this shit change

Or will I just keep writing till I see no rain

No pills for pain

No kill for rage

No thrill for age

Till I turn that page

Till I turn that page

Till I turn that page

Till I turn that page
