Episode Synopsis

So I look deeper, way beyond surface layers
Circles, squares, try every angle, COMPARE
Try to come pairs, with people for the moments we share
I bleed care, the kind of loyalty that’s rare
But I’m not perfect, I would never claim I was
Blame the flood of emotions, on life in flux
Sometimes it sucks us in, and drains our blood
A parasitic sort action that some call love
Numb from gut to heart, and the brain is buzzed
You think ya different, naw, you’re the same as us
There ain’t ENOUGH time explain it all
I paint it all in the songs that share we y’all
And some I don’t, others some may not condone
But I’m alone, thinking of the ways I’ve grown
The days feel long with no one to share them with
I stare in space, drift into a barren rift

Adjust my steering, time to make my way back in
Traction picking up, and now it’s time for action
I fashion, my choices on the front and the backend
Since back when, the world made a deal of my black skin
Or brown skin, if you want it down to the fraction
Those asking, yeah, I know it’s straws I’m grasping
For me, it’s 2-14-23
Can you guess who's sitting here right next to me?
No one, ho hum, I guess I’m still not ripe, that’s not right, right??
Oh, I’m not this world’s type
Fine, take flight, pilot right here, take a right
Land down on this planet, let’s have some fun tonight
It’s fun to write a fantasy to improve life
I been through quite a lot of things these last few years
Faced some fears, also had to taste some tears
Shed some peers, that’s the pain that pierce
Change our gears, watch for the smoke to clear
I’ll look for you through the smoke that clears
