Well I want you to know this. That you put me on notice. I sought you out, I focused I felt good so I wrote this. Then i called you; & it rang. (Hello?) Buzzing all about a dream, you know? maybe I could share a thing or two with you, it keeps on ringing, this signal, must be a piece of shit. I keep on saying hello. + Picking up these signals, trained in Morse code. You give me your vigil. I’ll give you the dreams you want most. You’re at my heart like a buzzard tearing my torso. Cmon I’m practically begging to stay together, for sure. Life’s a lonely existence, but I can dig it. You’re with it, too. That why whenever I rap like this, it gets you in the mood. I was never into making lovey tunes, like hentai. I just always wanted you to noticed me, my senpai. You’re simply kawaii, warm like my saki. Upfront, like my shotty..bloww! Somebody stop me. I’m too ill. So why don’t me and you, build? Or rather you or I? Well, is that alright? I been up all night. Tryna summarize, all the summer nights, all the runnin wild. All the dumbest tries, leading someone’s life, in another di-rection. More blessings, the session thrives. Never lessen drive, lesson one: we will all arrive. Sounds like a commercial, for a text-and-drive. But I had got it wrong, and so I sent out all favorite rhymes. Baby don’t like powder, doesn’t fuck around with dating lines. Only time she shade me is when she’s on top, with trees inside. You are my peace, baby, we should have a treaty signed. Normally I’m shy, the reclusive, hard-to-meet-him type. I’m looser with words, I’m a whore when I get near a mic. And maybe you. But here we die I hear that resurrection has succession rates of nearly seventeen percent, I mean, I guess I’ll give a try. My friends think that I’m crazy, I don’t ever mind. I would rather die, then fear the lesson to giving life. I would rather try, walk a thousand miles, Even if your tired, I’ll try again tomorrow. I gotta get this to you. You showed me the light of day In the dead of night when little minds and big pines sway.

Well, I was wondering if all the time took With rl stine books in my nervous hands Would I ever face the fears I held within? Tailored to this moment, Got you a suitable present. I was under weather, Now I play with harp in stranger heavens. I couldn’t move without hesitation, My thoughts evacuated. Sat and saw my friends fall to the same depths I excavated. Shame, what an unsettling lesson and motivation For a climber, whos only inclined to getting higher. Lonely with time, hold me in your space if only tonight. Vagabond, at the break of dawn ill be gone in the light. I never meant to be distance, just blame my wanderlust. I never knew my mother, so I search for her along the crust. Seen a few castles with princesses wavin garments. And a few too many bowsers and pipedreams in my conquest. Im jaded. But every now and then I light the console. Annex a couple thrones and leave the kingdoms as fossils.. I never wanted to give up the connection.. Had to be alone, n figure out where my head is.. Gotta know where Im headed man, whats next with this.. I cant be reckless. Got a setlist and im goin down Probably to the open mic. Close it down, and hold it tight. Deep within my psyche, cause its all I think about at night. Success got me stressin. I been used to failure. Took the back seat and observed the blossoming of azaleas And spreading of crabgrass. Life is a stage and I grew up as a class act. And never got past that. I'm not ashamed at all. In fact its something to laugh at. So Ill, prolly not holla at anybody, no disrespect. Its just this music that’s been playing in my head Sayin Make some time for me Ill be all you need and more you'll see. Baby, just believe. Id rather bump my own shit anyway Its all that ive got and my god I just give it away Please dont feel so sorry for me Im sure if you had it you would uh- I cant wait to decide.. Whether or not im not jokin. Whether or not I keep smoking. And I'm tired.. Of pacing. I've tried to erase these memories. These fantasies are all I have. All of that wasted time chasing dimes. Say its alright. If I slit my wrists, you'll keep the bond tight. Keep it real with me, n you know youll be my klondike. Wasn’t satisfied with just the visions in my head, I needed To dig into long nights. Im wreaking like death, Addictions in one hand, And a depression that’s ever left. And the anxiety is through the roof, Always wondering where it went. Its got me deep in concentration, staring vacantly at quarter filled bottles Hearing more of that unresolved drama. Okay. I just need a get away without the bank lift. Matter fact, that’s just what I need. Ill make arrangements. I been hungry way too long, I eat the pavement like a K.O. And tack on Miles, tails and titan clones. I'm too sonic, Breathe me in and catch a wave of cyclones. Many did me dirty without noticing the mic on. Im just glad to be part of the collective. No matter happens, time is my side if I don’t rush the seconds. Make some time for me. Baby, Ill be alright Moving with the Sunlight Just wake me in the morning when you return from your calling

I was Watching this time fly. Discontent with living default lives. We pay our rent on these fault lines. Our past fossilized, while we searched far and wide for paradise. No telling what we’ll find, we stay up all night. Tryna project dreams on to these dawn skies. I’m drawing from you, and you drew on me heart signs. Relieved my souls awkward disguise. Looked at me in my eyes and told me that I’d be fine. I try. But this masquerade eats me alive. All this masks takes is a bit of masking tape applied. I’ll admit, I’ve been ungrateful, I’ve watered lies. But I’m tryna find the wound and get it cauterized. Interlock your fingers in mine, hold tight. Our pores are ports for information to climb inside. If we’re lucky, we’ll stay aligned, and harmonized. And we’ll fall for each other forever, like some stalagmites. Building up one another Upon these stories of mothers and fathers. Sewing it on us.. We don’t get what we wanted. We have needs undiscovered. While we bleed in a common place, I’m afraid if I stay I’ll drown. I swear I’m down for you just.. Get away with me Just escape the day You never have to leave But you don’t gotta stay I swear it’s all a dream. I’m still falling in place. We’re rising all the same. We’re wide awake this time. So full of passion, so alive. Sweet sun - shine of mine. I choose to love you.. Every time.

I'm over hate, over hate, over hate. Can't stress these facts I wont overstate. I'm only on a path towards inner strength. These niggas getting gassed up-let em tank. I Got a girl strippin now she making bank. And to her, I guess I look a little strange. 9-5, fucked on every check I'm paid. She gets bumped up, I made Bump today. Crsswrd, crsswrd, crsswrd. I pray to God you never go and cross yours. All I talk is stars, we can converse. Serpent in the tree, this the mantra. If you like the brand, we do commerce. If you need a band, we can come work. I'm over love, over love, over love. Think its finally time to put myself first. Mumble this, humble that, cups of lean. I still place love over everything. I was 16, with a cup full of medicine. Letting all this shit get to my head like excedrin. Dreading then how I'd become what I said I am. But worry had my prescription blurrier then a second hand. Take a second then. I do not fuck with these measurements. I dropped outta school to find out just what succession is. But English was lit. talking that shit, is like the meanest assist. Boy, dont you know hate is what love needs to exist? I been patient, but you been cutting deep in the skin. Never fold, I been stretching this since way back when, like cotton gins, or cop stories that dont make sense. My name means strength, we light strong. And burn incense. This that fuck the other side, we just out here tryna live!!! But I dont know... My father has his doubts, and it shows My lover left me just to see where I would go. And my mommy prays all the usual. But I'm better now, well you know.. As good as it gets, when you're low. Well shouldn't I quit? Has hell froze? I'll make good on my word, it's all love, This is not for show. I'm over hate, over hate, over hate. Can't stress these facts I wont overstate. I'm only on a path towards inner strength. These niggas getting gassed up-let em tank. I Got a girl strippin now she making bank. And to her, I guess I look a little strange. 9-5, fucked on every check I'm paid. She gets bumped up, I made Bump today. Crsswrd, crsswrd, crsswrd. I pray to God you never go and cross yours. All I talk is stars, we can converse. Serpent in the tree, this the mantra. If you like the brand, we do commerce. If you need a band, we can come work. I'm over love, over love, over love. Oh baby, behave. As long as you're good to me, I wont stay away. So many distractions for vice addicts. My lifes madness, I gotta vent, and this sadness sounds best over drum patterns. But I'm thinking of you. When I'm floating down through city like Aladdin, snatch and grabbing every bag that comes in to my view. I bring it back and split it with you When I'm in the crib scribbling about pain, and the misuse. And how I stay wishful. Still a burden on my friends for not being who I am. I thought they had an issue. I'm no comic, but I stand up for the ones in life I'm bonded with Try to make them laugh, cause this life is hard as it gets This is a renaissance, run your catalog. Journey to the west, let's set off. But I dont know… Sometimes it feels better at home. And at times I feel better with you. But at times im afraid I might let you down down down dwn down
