lapse in time (hell of a life)
by rosangelica.
writer’s blocks happen because life happens
and if you’re present you’ll see
tragic
glory
i’m into it
more to say and share
if you receive a notification, thank you
your eyes and ears
back during those years
truly made a difference
i dream of suicide
my dna knows death
yours probably falls right in line
with the concept of forfeit
“nos quitaron el mar nos quitaron el cielo”
go listen to that song (tierra - bomba estéreo)
like a modern response to calle 13’s latinoamerica
there’s so much i haven’t said yet
i was too busy proving my authenticity
in a sea of carbon copies selling their people
materialism and consumerism disguised as truth
or black power
or eco friendly living
i was too busy proving my humanity
in a sea of money thirsty bitches
with no soul
selling their people caricatures
boxes
chains we broke already but now gladly put back on
instagram is no longer a part of my artistic rollout
you may think i’m lazy
i’m from the era where cds
vinyls
Atraks
they had value
i’m from the 90s
where i grew up with the internet
social media allowed me
to be opinionated and have no filter
it all comes with a price
who is the artist if the wifi bill isn’t paid
who are you without the lights
soon a new day will dawn
it’s all mine for the taking
anything i came for
i won’t leave without a fight
and my thighs are stronger
and i stand straight
my chest broader
my art my truth my words
are a weapon
you may have captivated me
you may have a fat ass
and yes
with all the eyes on you
and with everything you represent
you may still shake your ass in a deli
but you’re just a caricature
you and the army of lost souls
maybe my words will remind you
of everything you gave up
just to be famous
prepare for the afterlife baby
i sure as hell am
