Fin

“Fin”
°°°°° °°°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°
I got my hard wires crossed
between my capital city and the citadel lost
and I been acting like the devil
the same spirit, works, desires
°°°°° °°°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°
so, throw me back in
with a hook in my chin
and lend me your fins
until I learn how to swim
should I sink or begin
°°°°° °°°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°

°°°°° °°°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°
I try to buy your love back
but I am too poor, too bad
and now I’m crying and flapping
like my baby needs a nap
°°°°° °°°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°
still my my toes tap bed rock bottom
reading braille for the blind
and I pray my sins be blotted
bass sounds better under water
°°°°° °°°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°° °°°°°°
so, throw me back in
with a hook in my chin
and lend me your fins
until I learn how to swim
I surrender to win
once again, and again, and again…
