CHORUS:
Whole Backpack/
Red, black, green knapsack
 
VERSE 1:
Yo/ whole backpack
Red, black, green knapsack
COINTELPRO tracked that
Since 16 he had rap
Won’t displace by people, place, and period
Shift forms a myriad
Code switch chameleon
Kept appearances:  polite in po-light/
Monolith or spectrum pans out you know right
Had to see to do on ready, fire, aim
Dehumanized more than alibi/ FMRI tame
Written under your bandwagon/
Stand in sound canonical/ plant cabbage
Heavy weight baggage can manage type cat/
Grandfather a state champ boxer at that
Limitless/ cats don’t have an inch on us
A psychonaut/ I grip the mic or not respect indigenous
Land foot on/ wildest dream
Ancestors built from soot up so we stood up
 
CHORUS:
Whole Backpack/
Red, black, green knapsack
Whole Backpack/
Red, black, green knapsack
 
VERSE 2:
Uh Another hip hop rhythm spin/ his diction
Wonder what pot he was simmer in
Connect to inner rhythm/ no evading this
Stationary/ light patterned shifts and laid in it
North Star reflect water/ wade in it
Ambulance late/ home I was made in it
Mixed scrutinized/ measurement marble sized
Blacker than the one drop seem through his father’s eyes
Loving vs. Virginia still a splinter/
Benefits and burdens/ losers and winners
Hip hop not some pedigree/
I construct complex leverings and shift melodies
Indelible antecedent to the well meaning
I meld dreaming with singing/
Close eyes heart seeing
Part breathing:  rise/ bread leavening
Siphoning a set of things/
Whatever you’re measuring
 
CHORUS:
Whole Backpack/
Red, black, green knapsack
Whole Backpack/
Red, black, green knapsack
 
VERSE 3:
ESHR sketch/ gesture drawer
Cat can’t flex at all
Fly high with a wrist flip
Just me/ not stepping with my stance at ya
Gift shop/ I’m wrapping the chancellor
Emancipatory methodology
Harnessed epistemology
Tuned to harmony
Only tautology if taught to me?
Pair of intersecting docks
Socketed in what the problem is/
Wound untended trauma soma was harming him
Alarmism/ Black cats drop heard wisdom
Whirlwind shifts/ just a way they try to lynch us
Epiphenomenon of pieces in motion/
Like an engine:  us
