Lyrics B.M.I.A - Abstract

Escape reality fatalities and casualties
It's the formality eye opening insanity
Just let me live inside my dreams protect all my peace
Once I wake pray saving grace from the Hell unleashed

Amazon list full of problems on my cart but where to start
How bout where you feel like you're the big dog but you're all bark
Knock you down a peg arms legs and head obnoxiousness
Just cuz I have some dreads don't disrespect my consciousness
Put me down in a barrel
Keep my eyes off the sparrow
Make me forget I'm pharaoh
I don't know about that
In my dreams I see meadows
Opportunities in petals
Bright the pot that was kettle
How can you create that

Escape reality fatalities and casualties
It's the formality eye opening insanity
Just let me live inside my dreams protect all my peace
Once I wake pray saving grace from the Hell unleashed

I've seen that look before right before you said you love me
I read through the text cuz I can't see what you believe
Hoped for an angel waiting to receive her wings
But your the minx in flesh just preying on my centipede
Want my body just to brag
Check me off like a task
Just to put me in the past
I don't know about that
Wasn't love just an act
Don't rewind it back
Hope to find me a match
How can you create that

Escape reality fatalities and casualties
It's the formality eye opening insanity
Just let me live inside my dreams protect all my peace
Once I wake pray saving grace from the Hell unleashed

I just want to see my niece graduate and elevate
Like me because our race has problems that accumulate
My sis moved out the hood in hopes to keep my nephew safe
I pray it stay that way cuz traffic stops turn to cold case
Shot down cuz your brown
Leave your body on the ground
On the other side of town
I don't know about that
I finally hear a sound
We're black and we're proud
Time to unify the crowd
How can we create that
