lyrics
[Verse 1: Sans]
First off praise to Ohtoro for giving me a chance to speak and
Allowing me to be my own absence at the sea’s edge
Sans is more than my moniker, it’s identity
Particles suspended in love, study Empedocles
When I expire, dissolve to particulate matter
This a transient state, spit in articulate manner
Hey–I used to chase fame, but fame isn’t a testament
To skill, now I take aim, I want to be the best to spit
Revise that, want to see what my best effort is
More perspiration, less delaying this, I’m checking in
Punch the ticket, clock ticking, competition not winning
I don’t talk game or shit, homie I talk in rhythm
Rhythm with tide, rhythm with every cycle it’s
Still the mission to answer the question of why I exist
I am a figment, or a fragment, or a facet
I’m still undecided, still submerged under the masses
But I’m coming up to breathe, sunken vessel undersea
Wreckage of a boat and sail, hoping for an ocean breeze
Yes, seafaring if I capsize
Drag the body to the shore before I toss hip-hop aside
This not a story of trials and tribulation
This a story of privilege and graduations
Hit the mark, strike the target, I don’t miss, I’m not sinning
I don’t talk dark or light, homie I talk in prism
Produce a million beams of light refracted
Never put less than my best out and retract it
These other rappers never talk about the craft
I’m Noah when the storm comes, my ark is all I have
Each line, vessel for my spirit
If you don’t believe, listen to the lyrics
