Why, you will go home and then you will find that home is not home anymore. Then you will really be in trouble. As long as you stay here, you can always think: One day I will go home.

affirmation: i got out once, i will get out again

recently have been back in my home state and it has been rough being home and with my family. wanted to make a webweave that related to the continuous process of realizing that maybe your home was not the best place for you to grow.

Transcript:

Here we go again, Baldwin Home AKA Black Screen AKA Mister I Wish You Would AKA Sovereign Community AKA Crysanth Kush AKA All the News That's Fit To Sprint Up To You In The Streets And Tell You What's Really Real, delivering another message to the masses:

You already know what it is!

And I don't mean that rhetorically. You ain't heard the news. 

You lived it!

(from far away) Hey, Black, why do they call it the Bontive Valley?

(close to the mic) They call it the Bontive Valley ‘cause the harvests are high yielding. And bit by bit, they're coming back into hand. 

We're talking more crops. We're talking our land. 

After all, we worked it for 

how many thousand years? For 

how many glass Dukes? We cried 

how many midnight tears? 

It ain't worth it to do the damn calculus. They'll just tell us we needed to use trigonometry instead.

“Your numbers aren't right. It wasn't really exploitation.” 

So let me do some simple subtraction: 

Three minus three is dead. 

Y’all sent out your shooters

from your crystalline castle 

from your beige coloured campus 

from your jewel-encrusted church. 

Well, I got news, I’m the paperboy, open up 

front page story

your shooters was flawed, your Duchess a fraud, and we're really, really them. 

And I know what you're thinking. 

I know where your mind's at. 

You're ready to punch back. You’re gonna find out who caused you all of this pain. 

Poor Stargrave, finger on the trigger

poor prophet, dig a little deeper

poor Mr. Entrepreneur,

we've opened a door 

and you're facing it for 

the first time

ever. 

We made you imagine 

a whole world 

without you. Now, get this. 

We do that 

every 

single 

day. 

And it ain't just a vision, it ain’t pipe dreams and conversation, it ain’t blue sky hypothetical, it’s really, really real. All that talk 

all that violence yet our energy remains. 

We're vibrant while you piss poor tyrants got tired just holding our chains.
