Songtexte Vapors - Sharon Irving

What is life?
Questions that we ask at night
After that 9 to 5 shift or when your pockets get ripped off
And boss gets ticked off cause his dad was only president
His inception embedded in his perception is dead presidents
So he makes the world pay for his residence
Indebted in artificial intelligence
Super official sediments
Collect like condensation
On the mind's eye, time flies
Repression makes you think you can erase it
But like a hater, efforts are irrelevant
Cause memories remain like skeletons
Dressed up in Versace pimped out embellishments
We stay relishing, we stay avoiding the truth
Vaporing on about the glory days of our youth
And I could be aloof too
Going through life with a sweet tooth
But can't savour the moment like I'm on the...

What is life?
What is life? What is life?
But a fleeting moment
A fleeting moment
A fleeting moment
What is life?
What is life? What is life?
But a fleeting moment
A fleeting moment
A fleeting moment

Blessed are the meek and the makers
The sleepwalkers and wakers
Cause we all just vapours
Moments alive
Take a second and breathe it in, rewind
Now press pause and get lost in time
The moment we had was fleeting
Thought we couldn't escape it
If only we'd have known we were just vapours
I give kudos to the wind
It carries my sin
I blow kisses to the kin who carry the wind
Holding a phoenix
Over a canted version of a Venus that we could've completed
We're born bloody as hell
But alive and well
And emptier than a gun without a shell
But my soul shall prevail this earthly hell
I can't derail
You smell that? It's freedom
You see that soil? I seed 'em
Water the ground and reap 'em
I keep on searching for walking murals
Living stones in ghettos and boroughs
The ones who ain't afraid to make change like heroes
My heroes are Nina, Corner West, Amina
Black Jungle Squad
And all the weirdos who wear clothes from thrift stores
The fashion icons of Brooklyn
Ma strutting like she's in Milan
Beautiful, black, brown, indigenous
You feeling this?
You healing yet?
You reeling yet?
Let's take off
Space Cadet Vaperettes
Dust blowing in the wind
Sweet like a mandolin
Nowhere to go but up from here, yeah
Flesh soon disappear
But the soul will draw near
And you know just what it is

His word says that the first will be last
And those that we scoff at, we'll get past
Why?
Cause His love is so vast
Vaster than your preacher, teacher, leader, nun
None other can save ya
None but the Saviour
Outcast stranger
Prisoner behind bars
Those He will call
In advance will call on His name
He saved me
I'm a living witness
Proud misfit
You could call it holy mischief
Yeah, that's it
Yahweh, Maker
I'd be lost without Ya
Invited to the table
You set a feast now we're able
So full off Your love
I'm grubbing it up
Taking first, second, thirds
Like I can't get enough
All the poor and the weak
Take your place in the kingdom
Make your team Don Juan
Rafael, boogie style, yeah

What is life?
What is life? What is life?
But a fleeting moment
A fleeting moment
A fleeting moment
What is life?
What is life? What is life?
But a fleeting moment
A fleeting moment
A fleeting moment
What is life?
What is life?
But a fleeting moment
Aye, oh, oh, oh
