No excuses, push thru it
Only efforts, just do it
No excuses, push thru it
Only efforts, just do it
The difference between me and you? Absolutely nothing.
We’re all the same decaying matter, let me share a lil something.
In this life game, just posses the right mind frame.
Stay focused, remain open, jump on the hype train.
I mean a buzz for the soul or a love for the goal.
When the roadblocks make most stop, dunk it hard in the hole.
Pardon my swoll, I’m just flexing mind muscles.
You can follow suit, but don’t pretend to know my struggle.
It’s a blind puzzle, but don’t help me with the pieces.
I can do for self. All I need is the reasons...
To keep breathing, another day to believe in .
An imperfect human trying to perfect this thesis.
If I can reach for the stars, you can destroy the sun.
If you can accept defeat and move on, you’ve already won.
The stress weighs a ton, let go, don’t let it get you.
Swallow that pride before you choke on them issues.
No excuses, push thru it
Only efforts, just do it
No excuses, push thru it
Only efforts, just do it
Take action, then take some more
Success doesn’t just happen so what are you waiting for?
Stop procrastinating, or should I say
Practicing the art of always keeping up with yesterday
It’s best to stay committed to the task at hand
Otherwise you’ll struggle trying to start the job up back again
So don’t let time decay
You’ll either find an excuse or you’ll find a way
Fuck a weak goal, let the heat flow
Get passionate, attacking it, in achieve mode speak slow
But think fast and act quick, and if you push your limits
I promise you will accomplish all of your goals envisioned
Never lower your targets, always increase your action
Always continue marching
Go all the way, you got to commit if you want to be great
In it to win it committed to get it whatever it takes, no excuses

If you can’t take the heat, let it tumble dry
Some of y’all cocooned with no intent to get butterfly’d
That’s cool, I’m just saying
If you want to stay stuck shut up and quit complaining
I’m a shark bwoy coming for the slaughter
Cause every time you bitch it’s like blood in the water
No one cares about your petty excuse
Or how your uncle touched your butthole and left ya confused
Get your ass to work fucking off after work
I’d be mad too if I were acting like a massive derp
And nothing changed
I can’t stomach your stupidity it’s giving me a dummy-ache
The Pity Train just derailed
At the corner of Quit Your Complaining Because You Failed
You’re unhappy and I know you don’t like it
If you can’t be positive then at least be quiet
If you can’t take the heat, let it tumble dry
Some of y’all cocooned with no intent to get butterfly’d
That’s cool, I’m just saying
If you want to stay stuck shut up and quit complaining
I’m a shark bwoy, bout to bump and bite
I see you struggling to swim and keeping up with life
If you don’t want criticism
Then get out the pool of excuses and stop swimming in it
It gets annoying
You’re born crying, live whining, and you’ll die disappointed
Stop expecting shit to be fair in life
You’re so narcissistic you’d prob’ly complain in paradise
Yeah I bet you would
With your steamy little grievances of fetishizing victimhood
You love the blame game of hopelessness
So cry me a river then build a bridge and get over it

I couldn’t really recall the occasion
but I was in my own zone spacing
jamming out until somebody adjacent
Started actin too wasted getting too close
I had to tell him, back up off me quick, before he caught him a dose
I proceeded to pour a drink and look around and
saw my homies chilling on the far side lounging
Scoping out the scene watching people get down but
When I looked back, like that, I was surrounded
Damn, dropped the drink, didn’t think, blood was bubbling up
I’ve been in troublesome spots, and this was nothing to bluff
To put it to you with some class I was deep in the rough
And I was swinging a lot, but I wasn’t hitting it much
Just then homies rushed in, lights went down
Music turned off and people started running on out
I never saw ‘em again, I bet it was all for the clout
Cuz still to this day I don’t know what the shit was about
The city lights shining bright as I left the gym
Got a ways to walk plus its hot so I’m rushing it
Took a shortcut thru an alley, near the crib
But the moment I cut the corner I was like, “oh shit.”
Three dudes looking thuggish
But in this PC world I’m trying not to judge them
Ha, that’s mistake number 2
And I can’t turn around now so I’m trying to play it cool
“You got a dollar bro?” Sorry man I don’t
“Are you sure? Cause we could really use the money tho.”
I know what that means
So I’m either bout to fight or take a flight from the scene
The dude got up in my face with his boys cold watching
“I think you’re bullshitting now empty your pockets.”
I pitched him wallet and made a dash for the crib
Ain’t no cash the wallet so the joke was on him

Focus
01:41

When you work, work when you play, play
Don’t mix the two keep the focus straight
When you work, work when you play, play
Keep keep them separated got to concentrate
Laser like focus
Cutting thru the bullshit forward with the motion
Watching with precision
Your eyeballs are money use them to pay attention
But when it’s time to let loose
Leave your work at the job let the party ensue
No for real, if you want to be happy
Forget about your job, about what? yeah exactly
Cause when you mix the two
It stresses out your system and puts you in a bitchy mood
Concentrate on the one
Finish up the task and get back to having fun
Cause when you separate the two
You’ll find yourself productive with more energy to use
More joy to express, less guilt about the past
Raise your quality of life more time to relax
When you work, work when you play, play
Don’t mix the two keep the focus straight
When you work, work when you play, play
Keep keep them separated got to concentrate

OCD (feat. Tif)

You down with OCD? Yeah you know me
I’m trapped in a body that tics but oh please
Got thoughts that are intrusive a mind that’s extra lucid
Produced by a synapse that helps me gain that lucrative
Lyrical miraculous imperial disposition
Verbs, syntax, phonetic expedition
Indelible incisions of images unforgettable despicable and negligible
Somehow I stay and listen
I listen not smitten dismissing thoughts on a mission
I pray to God I surrender this bender’s getting exhaustive
I write until I’m obnoxious I’m popping words through my conscious
I’m counting verbs and the light switch running in herds in my nightgown
And i’m the only one listening
I blink 4 times in the kitchen
Until the feeling feels right
Wish that this wasn’t my mission
You down with OCD? Yeah you know me
Howard Hughes on the loose tissues on my feet
Got to get it together trying to keep it discreet
Some people think it’s all for nothing but it’s something to me
I used to rock a shower cap essential when I hit the hay
Prisoner of the mind in decline trying to get away
No matter where I went there I was scared as fuck
Paranoid of those around me apathetic cared too much
Doing laps around the car Andy Kaufman on the scene
Checking handles like 3 or 4 times before I leave
Caught up in my thoughts fear and lots of loathing
The devil’s in the difference so I’m rocking the same clothing
Compulsively absurd in my requests
I had to get over the bullshit behaviors they’re making my life a mess
Q U A R A, N T I N E
Progress sits on the horizon and that’s where you’ll find me

I’m blowing bubbles and they’re popping in the sky
And in the rubble you are the glimpse of light
Take my hand now and baby don’t you cry
I love you more than the digits after pi
3.14 15 926 I’ll take a break to kiss your lips
5 35 897 you know our love is never ending
When we’re together the stars they are aligned
I’m crazy for you can’t get you off my mind
Take my hand now and baby don’t you cry
I love you more than the digits after pi
3.14 15 926 I’ll take a break to kiss your lips
5 35 897 you know our love is never ending
You know our love is never ending
You know our love is never ending

I’m stuck between a dream and a job
I’m trying to be the cream of the crop
If I fail, don’t think I’m going to stop
Keep watching bitch see me on top
Fall down 7, get up 8
How long you want to go? I’ve got all day
Make corrections on the way, like a guided missile
I don’t worry about the clock cause I’m in it till the whistle
So what the uff you in it for?
I’m trying to get attention so there’s something I can then ignore
Cause I’m so cool
Read my vowels at my wedding like I O U
If at first you don’t succeed
Try try again but then after that leave
Move on, there’s probably something better waiting
You can change approach just continue with your dedication
The struggle’s hardly seen
But I’m winning here and winning there so call me Charlie Sheen
I’m paying dues taking stairs getting steps
Cause there’s no elevator on the way to success
I’m stuck between a dream and a job
I’m trying to be the cream of the crop
If I fail, don’t think I’m going to stop
Keep watching bitch see me on top
I’m stuck between a dream and a job
I’m trying to be the cream of the crop
If I fail, don’t think I’m going to stop
Keep watching bitch see me on top
I don’t exercise much, but I’m busting out
I like to lift people’s spirits and to run my mouth
Cliches can say opposite things
Early bird gets the worm but second mouse gets the cheese
I’m coming at’chu like a sneeze
My goal’s to take over like a terminal disease
Life doesn’t come with a receipt
No exchange, store credit, and no guarantee
Go for broke? Nah, I’m going to go for rich
My words are like a hat to your head cause they go over it
Life’s a trip so I stumble
but I’m sexy and amazing, plus I’m humble
So what your boss sucks stay strong
Keep busting your ass till you get the day off
I know you hate it
But the best way to predict the future is to create it
I’m stuck between a dream and a job
I’m trying to be the cream of the crop
If I fail, don’t think I’m going to stop
Keep watching bitch see me on top
I’m stuck between a dream and a job
I’m trying to be the cream of the crop
If I fail, don’t think I’m going to stop
Keep watching bitch see me on top

I solved the world’s problems “What? How’d you do it?”
I posted my opinion on Facebook nothing to it
“Daaam” Yeah I’m so great
Who knew the solution was posting about my outrage?
Blah blah blah
That’s how my feed reads like all day long
Do y’all got jobs?
It’s non stop bitching man oh my god
I’ll admit it I do it too
It feels real good to express my views
To stick it to the man, to rant about my thoughts
But progress happens taking action not by posting a lot
So when you’re home alone getting mad posting something
It’s important that you know, you’ve done nothing
You’re all feelings no action
And you’re part of the problem that you think you’re attacking
I solved the world’s problems “What? How’d you do it?”
I posted my opinion on Facebook nothing to it
“Daaam” Yeah I’m so great
Who knew the solution was posting about my outrage?
I solved the world’s problems “What? How’d you do it?”

“Daaam” Yeah I’m so great
Who knew the solution was posting about my outrage?
I’ve got to repeat myself man I have to
You’re all feelings and no action
You’re just expressing yourself I know
But you like the attention that you get from your posts
Your friends think the same so they’re giving you props
But you’ve really done nothing except vomited thoughts
I’ve done it too I’m guilty as hell
Plus I’m sort of like a troll which for sure doesn’t help
I think debate can be good and discussions are great
But there needs to be more action so let’s trash the complaints
Let’s go for a walk, let’s get out the house
Call a friend in need and start helping them out
When you’re gearing up to post cause something’s making you pissed
Will it benefit somebody? Is your time better spent?
Let’s put emotions down
And be the change we want to see not the rage we want to post about
I solved the world’s problems “What? How’d you do it?”
I posted my opinion on Facebook nothing to it
“Daaam” Yeah I’m so great
Who knew the solution was posting about my outrage?

Man life can get all up in your ass baby you better work it out
(You know what?) Welcome to reality sometimes it’s hard
The gate was guarded by a dog
Who cared for safety bout as much as it gets paid for the job
You need a ticket to enter hell
Pay the cost with your sanity wander the first realm
Take a look, make a note, hear the crying screams
Notice how the patrons take up residence and try to sleep
It’s never clear why they’re here
But they’ve all begun to stand which means the time is getting near
Hope springs from the window
But it’s just an illusion full of confusion no info
They scurry to a drum with no beat
Then retreat to spend their freedom on the things they don’t need
Man life can get all up in your ass baby you better work it out
(You know what?) Welcome to reality sometimes it’s hard
Man life can get all up in your ass baby you better work it out
(You know what?) Welcome to reality sometimes it’s hard
Driven by Thanatos, grab your soul keep it close
The journey’s unforgiving on this mobile Jerry Springer show
Everything you ever heard is prob’ly true and more absurd
Say a prayer it wouldn’t hurt
It’s a destination full of destitution
On a road paved with doubt without a resolution
No regard for the rules
The lack of conscience is appalling for the lost and confused
The characters amaze are they normal or they crazed?
Some smell like hell on toast like they awoke from the grave
No time to relax and chill
Amidst the dense fog beware the hound of the Baskervilles

Buggin' Out

I don’t know what the fuck to make of it
I got a bug in my brain and I just can’t shake the shit
Attack in effect
And if I have to then I’m snapping my neck
Leave me alone go away I don’t even know your name
I can’t believe it’s so insane feeling lost gone deranged
I’m sick I’m tired I’m tired I’m sick
I’m the boss of this brain going to fire this bitch
But I can’t and I don’t know why
Lord knows I’ve tried no luck no dice
What’s the cost of a solution just tell me the price
Cause if I can’t see it resolved I’m poking out both my eyes
My brain has been invaded
This is not a laughing matter keep the chuckling sedated
Cause the voices in my head
Love to run into the walls screaming loud as they can
They came in like a wrecking ball
Rude as fuck, no regard, entitled, no respect at all
They got me on the run
Losing hope, short of breath, steady clutching my lungs
Dropping to my knees ain’t no stopping this disease
Curse the heavens for a cure crying out God please!
I try to have a say but they shout me down
Any move I make gets me body slammed on the ground
I swear want to live
But no matter how I push or pull nothing gives
I’m desperate pathetic what a shame I know
Clutching anything that I can to try to stay afloat

Goals, Goals, Goals
02:59

I love goals, goals, goals, goals
Goals I do adore
Jot them down on paper don’t forget to date them
Gotta get’em done on time for sure
I got this music goal drop a song every week
Got to put in mad work stay on my toes and my feet
Flexing all types of styles and if the beat is too slow
I’m like, “Un momento,” bump up the tempo
I got this magic goal steady building my act
Always vanishing a card with nothing more than a snap
They want to know how it’s done and forego the surprise
I’m like, “Can you keep a secret? ‘Yes we can!’ Yeah so can I!”
I got this other goal I’d love to get done
But I know I’m going to wait till the end of the month
Till the end of the year out of sight out of brain
Cause I’m trying to get these other goals out the way
That’s a music goal, magic goal, another make it three
That’s a whole lot of work no t-i-m-e
There’s more than I can chew, stuffing my face
An appetite for destruction but I scrape the plate
I love goals, goals, goals, goals
Goals I do adore
Jot them down on paper, don’t forget to date’em
Gotta get’em done on time for sure
I got this small goal I could do real quick
But I keep putting it off to focus on other ish
Every morning it reminds me that it needs to get done
So I did the damned thing just to make it shut up
I got this major goal it consists of three parts
It’s going to take a ton of work and effort to start
I can see it in the distance a glimpse from a far
So I just keep walking towards it steady playing my part
I got a weekly goal where I dust and clean
I run a tight ship I can get real mean
The only thing wrong is I get OCD
Which should be fine but it takes all my time
That’s a small goal, big goal something in between
That means I’m always working got to stay busy
That means I got a task even when I get bored
Cause it’s really not a problem if I clean some more!
I love goals, goals, goals, goals
Goals I do adore
Jot them down on paper, don’t forget to date’em
Gotta get’em done on time for sure

Oooo, it’s bold it’s daring
Um, no, it’s gross it’s scary
The kids are terrified by that thing
So do us all a favor man and cut yourself free
Recycle the drama homie, you can save the issue
I’ll blow a genital sneeze up in your facial tissue
I’m getting amped up
You know the blowjob is serious when he puts his hair in a man bun
The mullet for millennials
I rock a man bun too it sits above my dick and balls
I love you man I’m just toying
I think it’s cute you grew a saddle horn for your boyfriend
I can’t hold back the laughing impulse
When I see a man mistake his laziness for a fashion symbol
I get it your chic bummy
Shopping up at Target buying Diet Coke and a scrunchy
Time will only tell
Can we escape the fate of dude’s not man enough to rock a pony tail?
Cringe or cliche your choice pick it
Cause that’s not a man bun bro, that’s a boy biscuit
Oooo, it’s bold it’s daring
Um, no, it’s gross it’s scary
The kids are terrified by that thing
So do us all a favor man and cut yourself free
Hide that thing bro it’s a shame to see
Nobody cares you’re in the new-age elite
It’s your parents I feel embarrassed for
We get it, you’re complex, you grew it long, but you wear it short
And to those kids with the limp shocks
Of hair shooting off the top, dudes you got to stop
For real, kill it dead
I’m going to call you Project Pat because you look like a chicken head
And no it isn’t fashion advanced
It’s the functional equivalent of sagging your pants
I’m getting fed up like 2pac, dude stop, you got
To remove that fucking douche knot
Oooo, it’s bold it’s daring
Um, no, it’s gross it’s scary
The kids are terrified by that thing
So do us all a favor man and cut yourself free

See I’m broke double 0 gotta mission yeah I gotta go
This message will self destruct, “There goes another phone”
I gotta crook I gotta bus another fucking amateur
I can't discuss it I'm more legit than mc hammer was
I see them all ahead of us I'm in a busted Acura
Legend 97 that shit convertible
Stepped up on the pedal fool popped a fucking head or two
I ain’t vaginal but you can put me on a pedestal
Up ahead they took a left I had a plan to intercept
I think ahead they playing checkers I run my game in chess
T-bone Collision had me limping for a minute
But I ain’t fucking chilling this this mission here is finished
Picking off the henchmen with intentional perfection
I see my main target taking cover by the fences
Two to the head, smoke clearing from the shooting.
Oh shit, I killed Vladimir P–
Cut the corner with no delay
I'm on the move copped the key plus I stole the safe
It was mine from the jump they wanna get it back
So I stay strapped with a rhyme and a pen and pad
They be tapping my mic, hoping to hear the secret
Like I'm going to spit the combo and deliver up the sequence
Not gonna happen too much knowledge on the books
Keeping lines in the pocket just to drop it on these crooks
Still on the run making way
Got a call from the Wolf on how to make my great escape
Stick and move spit the truth let them have it
They keep reaching out to grab it but it's never going to happen
They're busting caps and, I’m dumping back with
Metaphors, punchlines in all captions
My shoulders hit but it won't kill the spirit
I hopped the copter holding on to the safe that's filled with lyrics

If I could have any super power
I’d like to be invisible and watch you take a shower
But keep that one between us
I know I’m sounding creepy but I blame it on my parents
What’s the meaning of life?
“It’s the condition that distinguishes animals and pla– um...”
I guess I took it literal
There isn’t any meaning says the atheistic bitter old
Man can’t you just stop suffocating? The conversation?
Not everything is an equation
Don’t kill the poetry
You don’t have comment just because-because you don’t agree
But anyway, if I were invisible
I’d have my own movie theatre right inside your living room
I’m not a perv just honest
Who wouldn’t like to watch your sister walk around topless?
My plate is too full, god damn it
I should have never asked for that green eggs and ham it
Mood swings like a hammock
To all you butter cups who be jelly just jam it
The can of worms is open
Sometimes the best thing to say is unspoken
So just can it, please stop
Or I’m going to grab a bag of dicks and “mmm drop!”
Shouts to Timmy Tight, better check the chicken
Cop the twomp for a DVD and left the kitchen
On some broncOJ shit
No regard, fuck the world, Kurt Cobain shit
But if I were invisible
I wouldn’t have to search around the house looking for a little hole
I’m not a creep just the curious type
Enjoying all the details of your spurious life

Monster beef locness hypocrisy
The attributes come after you probably
Not to see typical comet speed
Fast or not astronaut got to be
Face shift magnified let it go
On the mark two, three, telescope
Off the beaten path dodging lasers
Wages lost not to be in favor
Played it smooth how you salutation
Got to move get to destination
More or less guessed in the pocket
Thoughts in my mind running through the sequence
Terrorize the universe till two and thirds are equal
Knee jerk reaction spread it through the masses
Guilty of innocence remaining less than fractions
It’s a fairytale for most of us
Usually the two and three are mixed between the chosen ones
Never looking passed an opportunity for you and me
To spread the violent passivism in our new community
We don’t accept the latest fabric cloth
Amounting to accounting we can be the greatest tragic loss
You have eyes made for seeing sound
And down you push for you to find a bush that you can beat around

I was free as a bird I wasn’t made for this world
So I’m asking what happens to a dream deferred?
I remember all the times, as a babe I screamed
When I woke to this plane from the skein of dream
In the space between, I had a city of my own
Quiet, and familiar, but not quite home
Roaming from the path Faerie lights, no nav
Non-Euclidean geometries, and I ain’t good at math
Sidestepping through the umbra, every dream, another door
Seventy steps of slumber, then 700 more
Descend the staircase to interior space
A gate separates this place from dreamscapes
Like a mirror in the dark both shadow and reflection in part
Stream of subconscious, panning for art
And it starts with imagination, ends with world creation
Or at least, visitation
Can it be that it was all so simple then? The good old days
Can it be that it was all so simple then? The good old days
Can it be that it was all so simple then? The good old days
Can it be that it was all so simple then? The good old days
It was never easy
At least that was the thought from the start of the ending
Every body gets a turn
To pay their respects to the depths of the urn
Neutralized by the earth watch it purge more forgotten
An apple a day decays when the core is rotten
It’s what you make of it
On a collision course full of remorse and feigned regret
Take a step through the window see the future from the past
Through a lens of infinity but nothing ever lasts
Get me back to a place with a face not a mask
Multiply then divide carry one subtract
Nobody’s immune
The abyss is indifferent to the instrumental tune
Get a room with a view see the light let it through
It’s a kiss between the violets and the dust on the moon
Can it be that it was all so simple then? The good old days
Can it be that it was all so simple then? The good old days
Can it be that it was all so simple then? The good old days
Can it be that it was all so simple then? The good old days

Who’s reality you living in?
If you get knocked down, pick yourself back up and begin again
Commit to win, you only get to live
Once, then it’s six feet in
You’re interesting guy
That women truly want to meet that’s why you need to say “hi”
You got to approach them, they want to be opened
They’re waiting for a guy like you, that can show them
A great time, that’s fun and unique, they like the way that you speak
Think you’re amazing and sweet
So give women what they want
A guy that ain’t afraid to talk who’s confident and can make them hot
The limit lies where you let it
The limit lies where you let it, don’t you ever forget it
The limit lies where you let it
The limit lies where you let it, let’s do this, make efforts not excuses
What’s the worst that could happen, she thinks you’re a creep?
Tells you to get lost, man that’s a woman you don’t need
Head the lesson
The most successful men get blown off and keep stepping
It’s a numbers game, honest though
Focus on opportunities, not obstacles
Your reality’s tight
You’re challenging cause women want to have you in their life
So give them a glance
Of your reality so they can see they’re missing their chance
To be a part of your life now
Approach women, talk to them, let them find out
The limit lies where you let it
The limit lies where you let it, don’t you ever forget it
The limit lies where you let it
The limit lies where you let it, let’s do this, make efforts not excuses

It’s a journey, not a destination
Keep my peace in the grave that’s where the rest is waiting
I should’ve stayed on board
But at a time of decline the divine got ignored
The meal ticket was lost
But the hope sprung eternal I was shrugging it off
Didn’t recognize the pressure turn my head and then cough
Eyes shut no occurrence of incurring a cost
But I guess that’s how the story goes
Live, laugh, love, then insert some other boring prose
This is life without adorning clothes
Chasing yesterday on borrowed time from tomorrow’s hope
Back again, it’s always back again
Until the tragic end
Always anxious like I have to piss
Limping through life like a flaccid dick
Aluminumb, nothing is new
I didn’t want to get through life just by stumbling through
12 years later what the fuck did I do?
History in repetition despite knowledge consumed
I traded in my twenties for a taste of the truth
It’s a hard pill to swallow better take it with juice
I’m just paying my dues as the years keep on passing
Trying to bridge the growing gap between would-be and has-been

Biting my tongue, bidden my time
Wait till the end for, the rest of my life
Skip lunch break fast, dinner’s arrived check cashed
Seat is leaning back, nap again relax
Too young to get old, so I’m aging with grace
Which is nice way to say, looking worse in the face
I’m excited, so excited
You can tell by the sound of my voice b/c it’s high pitched
Stuck in the mud, nipple deep
I had a dream, in my sleep
Some day it’s going blow over, then I’m gone with the wind
Taming the Shrew, cause life is a bitch
How to act my age, never been this old
A wrinkle in time, novelty unfolds
Dispelling illusion, no escaping the truth
I’m just floating through life, on a paper canoe

Mind on the Money
01:48

Problems, money won’t solve them, but you’re going to look good on your
Way to find solutions, amen, hallelujah
Take it from me, it’s plain to see
I’m in my prime, A to Z
Chasing my past, what a pain in the ass
Telling God my plans, and making him laugh
You can try to rain, all over my parade
Just watch the fuck out when I stick this umbrella all up in your face
Mind on the money, money on the mind
Don’t take life so seriously, no one gets out alive
Mind on the money, money on the mind
Don’t take life so seriously, no one gets out alive
Driving through life, with no brakes and no light
Swerving the lanes, too much changing my mind
I’m going up hill, in reverse and on fire
I’m being four wheel, what I mean is I’m tired
Taking my time, on a rush to the end
To finish this life, and start over again
Do you believe in karma? Oh, that’s nice
Yeah I don’t, but I did in a past life
Mind on the money, money on the mind
Don’t take life so seriously, no one gets out alive
Mind on the money, money on the mind
Don’t take life so seriously, no one gets out alive

Burst the bubble of delusion, no more trouble and confusion
Montana bound keep it moving, Robinso Carusin
Personal autonomy, taking aim, it’s the way it’s got to be
Ah on a mission no stopping see, turning an is to an ought to be
Tech-nology, dominating no apology
Putting Mother Nature on retreat, possibly obsolete
Control alt deleted, she can be destroyed not defeated
Call it progress, feed it, glutton for money cannot be eaten
You can’t eat your cake and have to
One or the other, which one do you choose?
You can’t eat your cake and have to
One or the other, which one do you choose?
Narcissism on the menu, press one to continue
Drive without eyes not an issue, till a body comes into
Break up the monotony, kill the void, it’s not the way it’s got to be
Ah on collision technology, slowly becoming a God belief
Dinner is cold, the whole family’s on their phone
Every one’s close but alone, darkness consuming the home
Humanness no longer needed, adult pacifier to feed them
It’s called a cell for a reason, become a slave to the freedom
You can’t eat your cake and have to
One or the other, which one do you choose?
You can’t eat your cake and have to
One or the other, which one do you choose?

It’s always right behind me, how the hell does it find me?
I’ve been running so long I’m running out of places for hiding
It won’t go away, I’m losing hope, there’s no escape
Why try to search for a place if I know there’s no where that I’m safe
It is watching, my every move there is no stopping
Lurking under the surface awaiting the moment emerging to stifle my progress
Its followed me home, I’m feeling hollow and cold
This inner monster has taken me over and swallowed him whole
You can’t escape it, it’s in you as well
The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell
You can’t escape it, it’s in you as well
The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell
If he had money, well, thank God that he don’t
Satan himself couldn’t quench the desires from deep in his soul
A lecherous creep, praying these walls cannot speak
Latent perversions necessitate urges to prey on the weak
Cause if he had power, he would soon be corrupt
Feeling entitled to do as he please with whatever he wants
To whoever he wants, human history portends
There is no limit to the depths of evil when the Shadow ascends
You think you’re so different, don’t lie to yourself
The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell
You think you’re so different, don’t lie to yourself
The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell

She be up in the morning, back to the grind
Always working two jobs, all of the time
Every day is a hustle, on the move to improve passed the struggle
Relentless defiant no troubles to great to make her want to crumble
But if you want to, step to her she will come unglued
Tear off your face shove it down your neck beat you to death with your own shoes
I’m just saying, she’s nothing to fuck with
Negotiations are over forget it, bitch end of discussion
Get our her way, you better take caution
She’s shutting shit down, that’s not a threat it’s a promise
Get our her way, you better take caution
She’s shutting shit down, that’s not a threat it’s a promise
Go ahead, give her a shot, make her day
Five bullets emptied, the sixth in the chamber, and aimed at your face
She’s on a mission, get out her way or collision
She’s coming through hot, if you can’t take the heat get your ass out the kitchen
A new day has dawned, the shackles are gone
Don’t get comfortable, she be the storm that comes after the calm
And it’s starting to rain, so you better take cover
Don’t get caught out in the open, the time for discussion is over
Get our her way, you better take caution
She’s shutting shit down, that’s not a threat it’s a promise
Get our her way, you better take caution
She’s shutting shit down, that’s not a threat it’s a promise

Poison Dripping

What is it now? I thought we had finished
We’ve been over this like one hundred million thousand plus infinite
Not again, god, please stop with this shit
The victory’s yours you can have the last word I do not want to win
I don’t get it, what’s the solution?
We were just laughing then you switched it up you’re so fucking confusing
Are you good? Or you want to keep tripping?
Cause I will not continue dealing with anymore poison dripping
A day later, yeah I was a fool
You found a way to come back to the scab and tear open the wound
You like drama, is that what you want cause
I ain’t going to be around to keep you company for much longer
Yeah I said it, and I don’t regret it
The truth is that you and I’d probably be so much better if separate
You got a choice, make a decision
Cause I will not tolerate anymore of your poison dripping

Shooting fish in a barrel, is not like it sounds
You just destroyed dinner, and ruined the bucket, and messed up the ground
The neighbors are mad, the cops on their way
Was it really that easy to live out a modern cliche?
I mean if I see a baby with candy I take it
But that’s because baby’s don’t need to eat sweets so I’m doing them a favor
Now that’s easy, as falling off a log
Unless you’re floating on that log on its way to Niagra Falls
Onward buttercup, more fuckery to spread
Lost in my thoughts, can’t get out of my head
Onward buttercup, more fuckery to spread
Lost in my thoughts, can’t get out of my head
Everything is hard, until it’s easy
Unless it’s a walk in the park or something called peasy
Or A, B, C, and even 1, 2, 3
Cause it don’t make sense to say 8, 9, 10 or X, Y, Zed
Your perceptions of easy, are off in a wild way
The nightmare of daycare, it isn’t child’s play
The Four Horseman in battle, victory’s a cinch
And in 2011 it went off without a Hitch
Onward buttercup, more fuckery to spread
Lost in my thoughts, can’t get out of my head
Onward buttercup, more fuckery to spread
Lost in my thoughts, can’t get out of my head

Gimme the Loot

Give me the loot, give me the loot
Where’s my money bitch? Are you confused?
You better find it, you got a day
Paid in full, with no delay
Cash only, no excuses
I’ll snatch kids up don’t make me do it
And your girl, I know where she’s working
Get that money man don’t make me hurt her
The end is getting close
In fact, I’m driving by your sister’s home
So get that money, have it all for me
I know where your mom buys her groceries
Time is up, where’s the doe?
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to go
I’m on my way, you better have it
It won’t be pretty with what’s going to happen
Knock knock
Can I come in for a little talk?
Fuck it, kicked in the door
Snatched his girl threw her on the floor
Grabbed the kids, taped them to a chair
Throwing furniture up in the air
Where’s he at? Where’s my money?
Somebody fucking better give me something
What the fuck was that?
Ran upstairs, he was on his back
Eyes glazed, carpet bloody
I slapped his bitch yelling where’s my money?

I will not listen, to you and your bitching
Don’t bring that negativity around me, son, do something different
You got a problem, woo pity do
Nobody gives a fuck, what’s your solution to fix the issue?
You got nothing? Sounds about right
You like the attention you get from complaining, yeah that’s how you thrive
You little victim, that shit is dead
People like you make me want to Van Gogh the ears off the side of my head
I heard this before, what are you doing?
The brick wall is here to stay, your head is bleeding, the wall is not moving
When will you learn? Talking is cheap
The world owes you nothing, it was here first, fuck off and leave
Life is pain, bare your burden with grace
Take responsibility and make a noble effort do your part in the game
Or at least, keep your bitching inside
None of us want to see your dirty laundry all airing outside

Tha Realness

Look in his eyes, you’ll see a fire that never subsides
The war has been over, but the battle still rages inside
He cannot sleep, sweating at night, visions distinct
Don’t look at him wrong, if you’re crossing his path in the street
No time to play, he’ll bust your ass, get smacked in the face
But more than likely, he’ll have his henchmen just come to your place
On the rise, domination, enterprise
He’s taken over, full of ambition, don’t gamble your life
Cigar in his mouth, glass of whiskey in his hand
Guns, drugs, knives, lies, violent scams
Cigar in his mouth, glass of whiskey in his hand
Trust, none, trife, life, business man
Stuck off the realness, stoically minded and fearless
You got an issue? Ain’t no problem too big to get dealt with
He’s on a mission, taking out the competition
You cannot beat him, join him is your best decision
Calculated, with tactical analyzation
He knows your next move, before you decided to make it
Check mate, he’s got you cornered, it is too late
He’s taken over, suffer or get out the way
Cigar in his mouth, glass of whiskey in his hand
Guns, drugs, knives, lies, violent scams
Cigar in his mouth, glass of whiskey in his hand
Trust, none, trife, life, business man

Starving for a hand out, bite the hand that feeds
Holding a plunger, rowing up Shit’s Creek
Pilot the waters, twisting and twain
Measure the depth, 12 feet to reach insane
Time is now, when has it never been not?
Flirt with the past, massage the hands of the clock
Run from the future, colorful of the blues
Ship has sailed, drowned in the fountain of youth
Can’t stop looking, impulsive imagery please let it stop
Mind of its own, out of control does whatever it wants
Da dada, let the record show the files have been hidden
If it’s a conflict of interest, it can be discussed without fuss or a mention
Forbidden, bitten, biting fruit knowledge is giving
Education has its limits imagine if they took a bite out a lemon
What ever, the here and now is forever
Call it a present endeavor, the past don’t exist and tomorrow is never

Slipping

|

Tic tic toc time passes on without waiting
Turn the new into the sacred, traditions get update
It’s all the same, there’s nothing new under the sun
Everything has already been done, no where to hide, nowhere to run
A decade behind, missed the starting gun
Hitting the wall, feeling comfortably numb
The memories fade as the party continues to move on without us
Darkness surrounds us, there’s nothing you can do about it
Learning to fly, for that great gig in the sky
Is there anybody out there? It would be so nice
Entropy never declines, steady moving to take over the light
Brain waves crash, upon the sands of time
It is a wonderful life, the present’s a gift but what is inside?
The possible pasts or a future created in spite of surprise?
The environment is the looking glass for the eyes
Stitch in time saves nine, cause if it’s slipping then it’s going to slide

Who knew, boredom would end up a curse
Tracking your eyes, manipulate visual thirst
Ain’t no use, wishing praying hoping you’d quit
They got you hooked, you want that dopamine hit
Take a look, next time that you go out to eat
Everybody’s head is down, eyes locked on that screen
Is that a brother, sister, mom, dad, uncle, auntie?
I don’t know because nobody is talking just looking at phones like a zombie
You left the house, with friends but won’t open your mouth
Got to check your social, for fear of missing out
You’re addicted, checking whatever your friends did
You need attention, like, subscribe, and mention
Feeling lonely, numb and afraid like running away
What do you expect, spending the day, thumbing away
Time travelers, I think you may need to get help
Physically with your friends, but you’re online talking to somebody else
So tragic it’s, turning people into pacifists
Who cares if someone is hurt, pull out your phone snap up a pic
Damn, you could be watching your favorite band
Live and direct but you’d rather film it with that little screen in your hand
You’ll never watch it, but your friends thought that it was awesome
And that’s what matters, the potential, not the progress
Know how I know? Check anybody’s bio
It says right there, brand ambassador, CEO
Stuck on our selfie, check out my pics, what do you think? Tell me!
Look at my food, sure it’s gone cold but don’t it look healthy?
Heart, thumbs up, digital drugs, anticipation
We’re never enough, fiending for validation

We pump you full of fear, we boost your cortisol
Now we got you hooked on a system that is flawed
The blind lead the blind, progressively behind
Left, right, left, right, left, right, get your ass back in line
Get on your knees, nothing you can do to stop it
Spread that wallet wide open, now suck on this profit
Gag a little, let me hear you choke
Stick your cash out, here comes my loan
Red pill, blue pill, uncertain
Pay no attention, to what’s going on behind the curtain
Red pill, blue pill, uncertain
Pay no attention, to what’s going on behind the curtain
Waking up every morning, working for somebody else’s dream
Hunched over in a chair lifeless, staring at a damned screen
Do you want to be accepted? You’ll need this product
You have to have this gadget, attached to your fucking wallet
It’s all for you, it’s all free
Just give us your attention, prostitute your liberty
We pimp your information, gig size matters
Swallow my terms, now who’s your data?
Red pill, blue pill, uncertain
Pay no attention, to what’s going on behind the curtain
Red pill, blue pill, uncertain

You don’t have to think, let us handle that
Just keep your eyes on the platform, glued to the app
We got you hooked, now we can mold you
Manipulate your behavior, you wouldn’t believe it if we told you
What you going to do? Ain’t no getting out
You’re too invested, afraid of missing out
We’ve got you conditioned, you can’t live without your cell
I got a question, does Pavlov ring a bell?
Who’s in control? It happens on impulse
Oh you think it’s you, not even close
Who’s in control? It happens on impulse
Oh you think it’s you, not even close
It’s called an iPhone, it’s where your eyes go
Anytime your mind roams, or you’re bored and time’s slow
Oh we know you’re special, yes you’re very different
You’re so in control, wink wink, still addicted
You’ve got a choice, free will to choose
From any of the options, that we’ve given you
You could stop if you want, yeah that’s a joke
That’s not a phone that you’re holding, it’s a pack of smokes
Who’s in control? It happens on impulse
Oh you think it’s you, not even close
Who’s in control? It happens on impulse
Oh you think it’s you, not even close

Why do they come to me? I never asked for this
I just want to be left alone, believers acting like I have a gift
It’s wearing on my soul, not sure how much longer I can go
Every day that I continue to give’em a piece of me I will be nothing more than a collection of bones
What am I ‘posed to do? They enter without knocking
Feeding off all my fears, disregarding cries for them to stop it
It’s wearing on my soul, how much of me will they keep on taking?
If it continues to rob me of energy I believe I will be soon enough evaporated
Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?
Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?
It happens all the time, I can’t seem to get them off my mind
I can see the visions well defined, even when I try to shut my eyes
It’s wearing on my soul, but I’ve started fighting back
I cannot keep, living inside of my mind like a person convicted who didn’t commit the act
They’re a product of the fear a nagging sense that death is always near
No escape no way to win the game, everybody loses here the same
My soul is tired, but I can never quit
I’m ‘a continue the battle within, till I get rid of the images haunting my head
Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?
Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?

This one’s for Johnny, challenge accepted
I slooow up the pace, I’m just messing
Cause I can do anything you can do better by rolling my tongue and rapping fast and quick
Flying off the hook, on the beat, wave the verbal magic stick
You know that I got this Johnny, who’s going to knock me?
Killing and chopping the weak whack MCs man who try to stop me
It’s not going to happen, the rapping, comes off so relaxing
I’m maxing all shooting some b-ball outside of the wait…
A minute I get in it come to win it from the start on to the finish
These garbage MCs on the streets get recycled with quickness
Bwoy, I’m the shit, you’re on my shitlist
You got to be bringing that lyrical flow son, take notes bare witness
I tame the beat like the Great with Bucephalus
These other little jackass MCs getting bucked saddle up again
We’re just getting started homie should I buy you a pony?
I’m ’n ‘a get you beginner equipment to ride hold on tight no letting go please, whoops
You lost your grip on your quest to flex
Walk the beat to keep the rhythm of the tempo so your speech be in step
Got to get it together baby no excuse or complaining
I’ve slaughtered the challenge there is no balance that’s remaining
I got to kick this hiphoptimistic
Please stop with your pretending there is no competition
Could you be honest at all with your rhyming the truth is your trying
Too hard to fit in can’t deny it, shut up man be quiet, damn

93 down, infinity to go
I’m ‘a keep on dropping tracks till I’m dead then come back as a ghost
I’d probably quit if I only knew how to give up
But nobody ever determined to get it then got it because of a lack of showing up
I work 24/7, Sisyphus couldn’t even get with this
I’m running up a mountain in reverse with a rock twice as big as his
And Atlas, just earth? Are you kidding?
I’ll shoulder every planetary object in our whole solar system
I keep going in spite of the odds, Howard Hughes it or lose it
The dues I’m paying off, always pushing my limits
To challenge myself
What’s the point of finding balance when my goal is trying to tip the scales?
Nobody’s gonna come and make it happen for me, oh no they’re not
So I set the bar higher and higher and reach for the top
I’m headed to hit it I bet you I get it that gold medal, then after that another
Cause Buck Buck… Bowen’s a bad motherf-cker

I ain’t trying to get involved when I hit it raw
Luck has a way of presenting itself when you’re willing to take a fall
Caution, in to the wind is an option
The grain has been made to control and dominate the thoughtless
Go beyond the brink
Destiny resides on the other side got to free your mind to think
Taking it back, you can do anything as a matter of fact
Pump the gas get it hot now let the mechanism blast
Escape from the dead
Hopping off the shoulders of the giants who defied the odds pay them respect
Pestilence upon us, the 11th hour
Nature loves courage and despises cowards
This is good as it gets
They never knew the allegory so their story was invented to fit
Phenomena, cowboy tomahawk
Staying loyal to the true rule of the oligarch
Exit, left out the back door
Headed for the future of a new agreement read the details in the form
Get informed, check the principal see it under your door
That’s the magic of an opportunity to be explored
Milk, honey, somebody
Come rushing in to do this and if bluffing, it will get ugly
Collapse, reclaim ultimate power
God will not have his work manifested by cowards

Gnauseam

Perched on the edge of a bottomless meadow
Caddie corner to a luscious pond waiting for the dust to settle
And that’s life, you know? Nothing profound
It’s just that thing that seems to happen when your plans are crumbling down
Whatever, it’s something to do
I don’t care even though I say it like I do
Bright eyes bushy tailed, attitude pushy well
Who are you to be judging me on this highway to hell?
Driving with a flat, but that’s OK
I just keep the car steady moving with the sun in my face
There’s no turning back now, forward into gear
Quickly glanced behind and saw my future reflected in the mirror
No sitting down, no standing still
Everybody used to pass the peas now we pass the pills
Exceptionally good at stacking bills
Always take the time to stop and smell the daffodils
What’s next for Geppetto?
The story doesn’t end just because the strings were let go
Right? But the clouds keep moving
A vivid imagination makes the naked daydream lucid
Sitting on the dock of the bay, hooray
Going Reddily unOtised just rocking away
They hit me up against the head with Orwellian speak
While I’m in a bubble bath waiting for the doorbell to ring
Bought a map just to find I was lost
Convenience is the price paid for a premium on sloth
While the rain drops all race on the window pain
I could see myself in the glass and it felt just the same
No sitting down, no standing still
Everybody used to pass the peas now we pass the pills
Exceptionally good at stacking bills
Always take the time to stop and smell the daffodils

Ready for action, ready for war
All the bets have been called off we’ve come to settle the score
Communicating with the gods daily, on the patrol
Always moving stealth go for delf man some heads gonna roll
The front lines in pursuit firm grip in control
The piper came to get paid, no delay taking his toll
Breaking every window on the scene, knocking down doors
We ain’t going to leave till the whole entire block has been scorched
Innocent civilians rubbernecking, trouble beckons
Laying enemies to rest I hope the rest have better learned their lesson
End scene, close the curtain on this show
Sit back and watch the flames have their way, live fast die slow
Lighting strikes, thunder claps, pouring rain
No food for us to eat, no sleep, 40 nights, 40 days
We be on a mission to get what’s ours, taking it back
Anybody stepping to the plate will get erased from the map
We ain’t taking prisoners no, toss hostages off the boat
Blood is running thick around here, see if the bodies can float
Showing no remorse no delay, let the corpses decay
Retribution hasn’t been completed till they suffer in pain
Ah damn we took a hit, but there really ain’t no stopping us
Armored to a tee, keep the enemy retreating on the cuff
Victory is imminent, systematic application
It’s a one way street to decisive annihilation
In the trenches armed with bad intentions
Letting off shots till they all drop and we end this
Penetrate deep destroy their forces
Attack fast without warning blitzkrieg warfare
In the trenches armed with bad intentions
Letting off shots till they all drop and we end this
Penetrate deep destroy their forces
Attack fast without warning blitzkrieg warfare

Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck am I?
I’m your worst nightmare, bitch I don’t sleep you lie
Yeah we be polar opposites boy but you don’t phase me
Why you sleeping all over my music like it be your best daydream
I saw your video, I heard your song
It reminded me of that time I jerked off in my palm
A super god damned waste of time and I had to wash my hand
Don’t you ever send me a fucking link without saying it’s spam
Same ship different lake shit is fake
I swear to godlessness these rappers always propagating cliches
Baggie jeans, skinny jeans, history repeats itself
Your clothes be so expensive that they make the art look cheap as hell
Your style is not good, somebody better let you know
Cause see I’m whacktose intolerant and can’t digest your flow
Yeah you’re different in a similar way
Given me uncontrollable urges to stick my dick in your face
It’s not a hobby, more like a habit
I just have to get myself together and take off my pants and jacket
Man your whole rap is getting old like a road map
In fact I’m having a vowel movement, O crap
It’s going down like an anchor
I thought I told you to stay in the car and bark at strangers
Your music sucks, but I’m down to help
You pull your foreskin over your head, so you can piss and drown yourself

Push Back
02:27
|

Took a look in the mirror, what did I see?
A fragile little boy looking back at me
Plagued by fears insecurities
Manipulated by emotions hopeless and weak
I hate it, it’s got to go
But the fear is so real and I’ve lost control
I got to get somewhere safe, but there’s no where to land
Cause no matter where I go, there I am
I don’t feel well and I’m not myself
I want to be left alone but should probably get help
I can feel it in my stomach, up to my chest
My only refuge is to get some rest
But the thoughts keep coming, brain gets flooded
If I don’t turn it off I’m ‘a drown in this dungeon
Mind swamped in lies
On the verge of tears but too tired to cry
Push back, fight the fear
You don’t have to give in to what you hear
Push back, guard your mind
You don’t have to listen to all the lies
Push back, fight the fear
You don’t have to give in to what you hear
Push back, guard your mind
You don’t have to listen to all the lies
I know I can do it, I know I can
I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again
I got to keep moving, I got to stay busy
I got to make it hard for IT to get me
Ignore the voices, they’re all toxic
It’s not you that’s the poison talking
They’ll soon subside
The darkness retreats when it sees the light
One day at a time
Little by little I will survive
Changing the bad script, breaking the habits
2 steps forward, 1 step backwards
I will not die, even tho it feels like that sometimes
I’m a victim no longer
Cause if it don’t kill me it makes me stronger
Push back, fight the fear
You don’t have to give in to what you hear
Push back, guard your mind
You don’t have to listen to all the lies
Push back, fight the fear
You don’t have to give in to what you hear
Push back, guard your mind
You don’t have to listen to all the lies

I could write a song every god damned day
And nobody gives a fuck hip hop hooray
I’m not bitter, just a little worn out
Everybody’s fucking busy it’s too much to sort out
Yeah I get it, it’s a lot to digest
I guess I’ll just quit rap so you can get some rest
I’m not bitter, did I mention that yet?
Everybody needs to sleep, my music is your bed
Take a nap, hit snooze, keep dreaming, be cool
I’ll just keep writing songs till you’ve got nothing to do
But to listen, I swear I’m not bitter
Everybody needs to eat, and you’re busy making dinner
Get fed man my music can wait
I’m going to be here forever, no I’m not, that’s ok
Cause when I’m dead, I’ll for sure not be bitter
But we’ll all die happy everybody’s a winner
Everybody has a life I guess
It’s just that some hide it better, but I digress
I’m still not bitter, not at all upsetted
People need to feel important and I’m no exception
Everybody has their favorite fucking show
That they wouldn’t ever think of missing hell to the no
But my songs come out, I’m not bitter, every week
And it’s too fucking much when I send them a link
Everybody says it’s cool, but it’s just to fill the void
They got kids and a spouse need to round up the toys
Damn I’m not bitter, in case I haven’t said
One day I’ll get credit long after I’m dead
Or I won’t, everybody’s got a thing
And that thing has absolutely just nothing to do with me
I’m not bitter, I put that on my life
And if your ears are fucking open then you’re hearing a lie

I look around me, what do I see?
A bunch of people looking H A P
P Y, but it’s a facade
Face in your lap-top in your palms
So connected, but connection removed
I got no time to conversate man just text me the news
I’m ‘a hit you up later, prob’ly not
Cause we all want to be left alone, at a coffee shop
Yeah, got my laptop open
Papers spread across the table, don’t I looked focused?
On my work, but I”m not, well I sort of am
When I’m not texting a friend or scrolling up on Instagram
Damn Buck, so much judgement
You think you’re better than us, oh you’re above it?
Not at all, well maybe just a bit
But that doesn’t make me wrong, just a hypocrite
Talk to the hand, cause the face don’t matter
Converse with your palm, as long as you got data
Busy all the time, we can never do enough
Hands always on our phones but we’re losing touch
Talk to the hand, cause the face don’t matter
Converse with your palm, as long as you got data
Busy all the time, we can never do enough
Hands always on our phones but we’re losing touch
I can’t stay focused, it’s not my fault
I was raised this way, by a bunch of adults
Plus everybody else is doing it, so what’s the big deal?
Yeah it all appears normal, but delusion is real
Can you really be alone?
And leave your sthmart device chilling at home?
Get a grip on your mind, not your phone
Reclaim what’s yours, take back the control
Look how you pass the time
Can’t sit still at a traffic light
No it’s not a problem, no not at all
It’s not screwing with your focus, hold up I got a call
Hello? Hey what’s going on?
No, I’m not busy, just working on a song
About our present condition as technological slaves
And the corporations love it cause they’re holding the chains
And they’ve got us convinced, we need them to exist
They make our lives so easy, communication’s a cinch
But it comes with a price, your dependence and time
Not to mention pimping your info by tracking your eyes
But now I’m digressing, because the real message
Is how we’re all addicted to a lack of connection
Don’t believe me? You can even test it
Just watch your need to text when you’re out with your best friend
Talk to the hand, cause the face don’t matter
Converse with your palm, as long as you got data
Busy all the time, we can never do enough
Hands always on our phones but we’re losing touch
Talk to the hand, cause the face don’t matter
Converse with your palm, as long as you got data
Busy all the time, we can never do enough
Hands always on our phones but we’re losing touch

Navigate the horizon
Eyes on the prize’n, no alarms no surprises
The curvature’s felt
Experience first hand the cards have been dealt
Gotta play the hand right, taken all night
No rush it’s a must that the God do it right
Cut out the middle men, dance with the infinite
Foreplay, core play, more play, get it in
If that’s the path that gets chosen
So many waves in the ocean
Gotta keep the boat floating, wind blowing
Back stroke, breast stroke, side stroke motion
It’s getting wet on deck
Slide on a life jacket, it’s time to dive in
Submerged in passion, anything is possible
Let go, relax, get nautical
Under cover of the stars, constellation
Movement to embark, with lots of patience
Beads of sweat dripping in this hot weather
20,000 leagues beneath the sea looking for lost treasure
So much to discover
Flow with the current to keep from going under
An appetite for seduction
Mute the siren song, no need for destruction
It’s an erotic occupation
Lustful voyage exotic destination
Into the sunset onward motion
Keep the boat rocking cake by the ocean
It’s better, down where it’s wetter
Under the sea, stay here forever
Submerged in passion, anything is possible
Let go, relax, get nautical

Where my energy at? What happened?
I used to stay up all night, no relaxing
Go go go was a motivation magnet
Now my only goal is hit the pillow and mattress
Maybe it’s a phase, a stage
A product of my age
I used to brag about how late I went to bed
But if I don’t get a full night’s rest then I’m dead
“Hi Dead!” ‘Hi.’ I’m tired from the sleep
I might as well stay in bed counting sheep
What’s the point of getting up? I’ll have to come back
I should stay here forever flat on my back
Where’d my energy go? What happened to my passion?
I used to thrive on stress and rise up to the challenge
But now I’m off balance or maybe I’m on
Maybe I’m supposed to get sleep, pardon my yawn
No motivation, to stay up late and
So much for creating now it’s dreams I’m chasing
Like real dreams, not the stuff you call goals
Just put me in my PJs I’m ready to doze
My pillow doesn’t talk, it only listens
I like a soft bed but it doesn’t make a difference
Rest assured
You can bet I’m getting some rest for sure
People say sleeping is nice
But to me it’s just a waste of like a third of your life
I never to used to hit the hay before 2am
But now I’m crawling in bed as quick as I can
I have to admit, since getting more sleep
I feel more refreshed and it’s better for me
Cause if I’m ever feeling those home sick blues
I don’t get alarmed, I just hit snooze

It’s just another day, I wake up and start working
Trying to find the meaning of life, I keep searching
Marching through the dark while my flame is still burning
But there’s snakes on the ground, I’m surrounded by these serpents
Moving through this landscape of fake plans and handshakes
I’m not concerned with how much these scams make
I’m concerned with what I learn, can I pump the breaks?
Can I take a look around and truly navigate?
I make progress I don’t stress, never in the same spot
Think more and say less, driving on a straight shot
Plotting on a scheme with my pockets on empty
But I’m taking steps in real life to make it all succeed
Sit back, sip the tea while they just observe the scene
But not me, I’m up and at it manifesting dreams
Cards up my sleeve, strength enough to just believe
Alive is all I want to be, and hopefully I live to see
So many afraid to live, I’m going to live it
So many afraid to give, I’m going to give it
This is blood sweat and tears, my soul in it
Are you prepared for years? I’m so with it
I chose this, I own it, go motion
I see growth through the lows and commotion
Even when the spots are dry, no lotion
Everybody work on the team, no roaches
Hip-Hop in heavy doses, Buck Bowen
Lyrically ferocious, my approach is
Let the drum be my guide line, no controlling
On stage with a boldness, crowd of coldness
Be myself in the interviews, know the code is
Full time artist, I know aloneness
Mind of Xavier, the heart of Logan
Power In One, put my heart in slogans
Another day so I know I made
Living my dream, I don’t need to chase it
Every morning don’t forget to get up,
Don’t ever quit forget how to give up
Another day, another dollar
Another chance to advance but I’ll be honest
Sometimes it feels like I’m getting nowhere
Like I’m doing this for nothing man but fuck it oh well
I got to keep moving, staying the course
Drop a track every week till I reach the door
If persistence is key it should open automatically
Only time will tell if my vision comes a reality
But the world really owes me nothing
So I don’t expect much and just keep busting
It’s all I can do to stay afloat
Keep making some waves, keep rocking the boat
Got to challenge myself, keep pushing my limits
Work in spite of the odds and results that I’m getting
I got to keep taking a shot
Cause the truth is I’m ‘a do this if I make it or not
Another day, but will I make it?
I don’t know but I just keep chasing
Dream big but don’t forget to get up
I’d prob’ly quit if I only knew how to give up
