Island

Not even a Grammy can show this.
What label will give me a call and say I’m involved like every step of the way
I ain’t have to ask for that they threw in the stacks
Brought it to the table now they pile on my plate
I was on a mission like a restaurant wait
I was getting stocks
Go check the date
They see the tip of the iceberg make a nice swerve
26 letters I curve.
Pushing uphill like a biker.
I came prepared like a hiker pack
Do they know who I am
. like a Rikers track.
You are not an island baby
Peninsula gotcha going crazy
You see the water but it’s still a maybe
Is your land really so amazing
Is your land.
Is land.
. (it's all too familiar .)
All I see is water all around
Ate a meal I think I gained a pound
They want it right then and now
They say you’re offending the Nile
Flowing like the 80s
Yellow, Indus, maybe.
Flowing like Chattahoochee, Tiger, Euphrates
. (you've got to be careful about that water.
That water’s something else .)
In the water like a fin.
And this is not the end. nahw.
