Bridge 1
Look who stopped by to say hello
Where you been, Socko?
(I've been where I always am
when you're not wearing me on your hand)
between states of being)
(Not quite dead, not quite alive)
to a constant state of sleep paralysis)
Socko, we were just talking about the world
and how it works
Do you have anything
you'd want to teach us about the world?
(I wouldn't say anything that you probably
I don't know about that, Socko

(No shit)
What can I do to help?
D
(Read a book or something, I don't know)
(Just don't burden me
with the responsibility of educating you)
(It's incredibly exhausting)
I was just trying to become a better person
(Why do you rich fucking white people
D
insist on seeing every socio-political conflict)
(Through the myopic lens
of your own self_actualization?)
(So either get with it,
or get out of the fucking way)
Watch your mouth, buddy,
(But that's what I-
have you not been fucking listening?)
(We are entrenched in)
(Wait, wait, wait, no please!)
(I don't wanna go back, please)
(Please, please, I'm sorry)

(Yes)
Yes, what?
