Clear the Air

Yeah Look, a cutie gave me lapis lazuli Hopin' it would cure me Use to croak before I opened up my throat Sweatin' profusely I was nervous 'bout my depths 'Cause adults would just project Like androgyny's an anomaly And I would just deflect My thoughts used to hang around my neck Chokin' my tongue Runnin' a marathon in circles Spiraling, leavin' me stunned but To clear the air I'mma share some things I rarely vocalize My anger was so internal 'Til it externalized It felt unwise to socialize So I just stayed small Had to focus on patience So my voice could evolve No matter how correct I came The disrespect remained the same People refused to say my name Micro-aggressions changed my frame My first name is Lakeeyscia Not Lakesha It's so draining tryna correct y'all Every time I see ya Middle name "Ariel" not Ariel Lion of God, yeah No extraterrestrial Uhh Time to clear the air No need to react To every act Cause I'mma be at Where my feet at I said it's time to clear the air No need to react To every act Cause I'mma be at Where my feet at I said it's time to clear the air No need to react To every act Cause I'mma be at Where my feet at I know it's time to clear the air No need to react To every act Cause I'mma be at Where my feet at Look, a loner in my past Nomadic by habit Abandonment issues wreaking havoc I had to combat it But I found myself entrapped in action Based on matching baggage Low-key sought out the dramatic Then act surprised when it happened Tragic But now the traffic has been cleared No congestion here My besties bring out the best in me Intent sincere It's like I fear no fear This love hits different Yeah, I refuse to get distant Connection is my vision I met the brightest lights When I shadow boxed the ghosts I hosted My own potions hocus pocused my focus I was chokin' Yeah, on my deepest emotions But now I'm floatin' on air Floatin' on air Floatin', floatin' on air Yeah, open and aware I attract miracles easily All my homies love me Even when they don't agree with me No foes hide in shadows Disguised as light poles Convos beneath the cosmos Lessen my load Yeah, uh Always in rhythm Pushin' to pull each other up We being honest with a delivery That doesn't cut If you don't get it, it's fine We just on different quests We resonate with divine timing So we stay blessed Yeah Time to clear the air No need to react To every act Cause I'mma be at Where my feet at I said it's time to clear the air No need to react To every act Cause I'mma be at Where my feet at Yeah (Oooh baby)
