Knocking at the Door feat. JON?DOE
Sankofa
Who’s that knocking at my door, I hear the hinges creaking
My guilty conscience counting down a list of instant reasons
When insecurity creeps there is no intervening
And since my version of sleep is filled with wicked demons
I can’t escape the living only then to find the dead
The shining halls sharing colors that my eyes then bled
A life I lead or try to lead, the sharpest knife regret
Cutting deeper every time I try to hide the rest
I dim the lights and hope whoever’s knocking goes away
Playing possum just a prisoner at home the prey
Sneaking to the kitchen just to try to find a knife
Fumble for my phone but drop it, I hear a cry inside
Betrayed by the creaking of these ancient floors
The knock intensifies, my name is called, I brace for war
I thought that home was safe, but here I am afraid inside
Wishing I was anywhere but here, but stay confined
Who's that knocking at my door?
When u spend a lifetime prostrate the only constant is the floor
Finger to the prostate they mocking u for sure
Bekon u to come be an apostate to a whore
When the flotsam s just manure don't be drinking from the swimming hole
Gamble on yaself, end up richer than a Seminole
Seminal semen'll sever the seams and I'll send em several remembrances
December the seasons subliminals
Eventually the spring sun thaws out the winter frost
Clear to see these men're lost, dawning on em- Pentecost
Then slowly via word of mouth it spreads- defend the thoughts
Projecting the thrombectomy through arteries to end the clots
Free the flow of wisdom, now u see what held u back
If you siphon from the source ain't no need to keep the well intact
Tell us that what they sell is wack... well in fact
No knockin... we kicking in the door with a hellish rap
