dime a dozen – Tej Sidhu

dime a dozen

(unfinished)

never appreciated, even though my value appreciating

keep looking at the numbers ,my anxiety rising

distracting me from doing the work im supposed to be doin

week seven, assignments stacking up

feeding into the wrong narrative

these statistics been guiding me in the wrong direction, wanting attention, anything for mentions

produced by an algorithm, shit that isn’t relevant

they writing me off like im already depreciating

cant be around people whose humor is deprecating

no longer excusing their excuses

i used to be clueless but im starting to seeing in a new light now (lsd)

realizations too heavy making me feel the gravity

i got a theory of special relevancy but i don’t think they really digging it

tryna throw dirt on my name thinkin they’re burying me

pushed them all behind coz they way outta line

unfollowed em all, too many eyes with nothing to mouth

they made it on time for my success but sleepin when i was showing them the process

im gon’ be alright

had to learn hard lessons to progress

they made me sick when i tried to digest

got the toxins out the system its been too much

sun rays in the morning, its a new day, im walkin so free

(walking on sunshine woah oh)

im in a good mood, it feels so good

sun rays in the morning, its a new day, im walkin so light n free

sent em my work, looked at my phone after work

nothing in the tray, man, i was hoping they went bizzerk

got em all a drink but i aint in the convo

put my gram on the private

now i roll with people that got the blue check, personally verified

me n hassi doing dope ass projects, the last time that i checked

lookin at art, translatin into influencing my generation

the architect of my thoughts, the engineer of my actions

computing the best path to reach the fulfillment of virtuous passions

staring at the deep prints of all the greats

kanye, hova and lennon

imma graduate soon and make my mark too
