Lyrics KALEIDOSCOPE (feat. Travis Thompson) - Travis Thompson , Snotty Nose Rez Kids

Yah, I see through kaleidoscopes
I've been in survival mode
Had to take the long way
Ain't no telling when I get home
Come and visit my world, yah
Come and visit my world, yah

Yah
Just a kid from the Rez, what's happenin'?
You should see all the dreams that I'm havin'
Ain't counting up sheep, I'm counting up salmon
Every dark night, no batman

See the highway of tears that I'm passing?
Tell me, is there anything different?
You know how many here gone missing?
And how come ain't nobody here listen?

Damn, uh, sweet grass on my dash
Still down to ride but my tank been low
You ain't really been where I been bro
Cuz your people aren't disposable

Damn, I come from a place where the curtains are blankets
And nobody makes it, I know (I know)
Got a little bit of faith and a little bit of hope
And stress so I guess I'll smoke, aye

Zonin' out and I'm dreaming
DND on my phone for the rest of the evening
While everybody else sleeping

So come see the world through my point of view
My vision go way beyond all of these mountains
Since I threw pennies out into the fountains
Probably too many but baby who's counting?

So I drift away, up up and away I go, yeah
To a place where everything's fine, whenever I'm at the end of my rope
Will I live to see the change where we all heal and where we all grow?
Take a look, you never know
Through my kaleidoscope

I see through kaleidoscopes
I've been in survival mode
Had to take the long way
Ain't no telling when I get home
Come and visit my world, yah
Come and visit my world, yah

Look, This like hoop dreams a' the stoop
This a letter to the younger you
Jus' see it through when you shoot
Make sure you follow through
Yuh, we done paid our dues
Let me talk my shit, pee yew
Boy, I refuse to lose
Yuh, that's my point of view

Face bin in the dirt
I got written off at birth
Yo, my Momma gave me a chance
She said we gone make this work
Aye, these growth spurts could be the worst
God damn sometime life hurts
The truth hurts, when unearthed
It could shake up your whole universe

Like damn
I just got a burst of energy
Accidentally said some real shit
Ain't no crime of the century
Got a tendency to cry a bit
That cryin' shit ain't meant for me
I'll man up eventually
For now I'll be who I was meant to be

When I think of my identity
I get my second wind
And when I'm thinking generally
I'm thinking 'bout my kin
And I don't pretend to be
Someone friendly, don't offend me
I'm a savage when it come to it
I'm thankful Creator sent for me

I see through kaleidoscopes
I've been in survival mode
Had to take the long way
Ain't no telling when I get home
Come and visit my world, yah
Come and visit my world, yah

Tighten up li'l soldier
It's a world outside that need conquered
I'm like average height if I stand on the money
I stand on my ethic I'm monster
Did it, no sponsor
Tryna cut back on my nonsense
Shorty want back on my roster
Got syndromes never imposter
Know what it cost 'em
Put my life down
Married to the game
No white gown been fucked
Ride around tints up
She a art piece
Leave thru the gift shop
In the bank see ya mighta just missed us
See you paid for a sesh made a diss song
Big fish cross pond get ya chips up
I share my bowl with sick pups
Dont care who know I'm fucking
Feral widdit
Everywhere I'm tinted
Blvd to the Paris trippin'
An apparent vision
I won't sway
Ain't much shit that I won't say
Do re mi
Gon sing my praise till I'm gone
I see everything in color form
No telling what I'm on

I see through kaleidoscopes
I've been in survival mode
Had to take the long way
Ain't no telling when I get home
Come and visit my world, yah (It's my world)
Come and visit my world, yah

I see through kaleidoscopes
I've been in survival mode
Had to take the long way
Ain't no telling when I get home
Come and visit my world, yah
Yo, come and visit
Come and visit my world, yah
So you can see
My world
Ya
