A New Day
03:01
|
|||
I want to die deluded, no you don’t
You’ve been working so hard on your legacy don’t drown it keep it afloat
I said deluded not diluted no allusion
I’m not stupid I know what I’m doing... for the most part
The voices congregate trying to reach conclusions
But results are typically full of scattered thoughts and confusion
It’s a daily negotiation
Trying to broker self-defeating behaviors that I be chasing
I cry and plea vocalizing the silent screams
But nothing ever changes, I guess I’ll try to sleep
But now the voices run amuck
So I fabricate sexual fantasies to shut them up
Keep them busy and preoccupied
Every woman I’ve ever met I’ve stuck my cock inside
Am I alive or dead? It really feels like I’m possessed
Get this weight from off my chest perhaps it’s time that I confess
A new day has dawned, but it looks the same
Steady falling behind the horizon it regurgitates
Fumbling through life in a hopeless state
Trying to catch break, but all I got’s a broken leg
A new day has dawned, but it looks the same
Steady falling behind the horizon it regurgitates
Fumbling through life in a hopeless state
Trying to catch break, but all I got’s a broken leg
I’m gonna die deluded
No response, my will is weak and almost gone
At any moment I could fall, clutch the floor begin to crawl
The thrill of life has all been lost, I swear to god holding on
It’s just a phase let it pass, oh thank you for coming back
I don’t know what I would do without you always helping me navigate with no a map
Take a breath, right, baby steps
I got to give it some time to settle and then I’ll be sane again
I really need to get help
So much time inside my head has been decreasing my health
But the voices like the company, to them I’m somebody
I hate to admit it but often this is just enough for me
But you can do better, I know at least that’s what I’m told
But I’m losing grip on my hold the back and forth is getting old
It’s all consuming, where is the solution?
The abyss is infinite and I’m sinking into delusion
A new day has dawned, but it looks the same
Steady falling behind the horizon it regurgitates
Fumbling through life in a hopeless state
Trying to catch break, but all I got’s a broken leg
A new day has dawned, but it looks the same
Steady falling behind the horizon it regurgitates
Fumbling through life in a hopeless state
Trying to catch break, but all I got’s a broken leg

Destined
02:26
|

When the memories emerge, I wish I could laugh
Suspended in time, no skin off my back
The last man standing, but it’s musical chairs
If I’m on my way to hell, I think I’ll take the stairs
Climbing to the top just to get to the bottom
It’s a long way down no sound from the fallen
Can’t stay a float, no strength to keep swimming
Half my life in the can and the hand keeps ticking
What the fuck’s the point? I don’t really know
I’m probably still here cause my energy’s low
I got to keep moving, but my mind disagrees
I think I’m almost out of options fighting off this disease
I’ve tried a lot of things, but the story’s the same
It’s getting harder to believe that there’s more to be gained
I’m sore and in pain, but it’s just the norm
Nobody sees the tears when you’re standing in the storm
I should probably start taking some pills
Cause I’m at the point of picking up a cranial drill
Something’s got to give, I’m running out of patience
The future’s looking grim, and I’m not sure I can make it
Too much time to think
I got a hand on the wheel but not in the driver’s seat
At least that’s how it feels, headed for a cliff
The brakes don’t work and the locks won’t lift
Dipping in and out of traffic, trying to gain control
But the car’s fishtailing, I’m beginning to roll
Off the side of this mountain, unless I hit a pole
But the result’s just the same so it’s negligible
Whatever, it’s just another farewell
Full of ups and downs like an Escherian Stairwell
There is no escape
I’m destined for depression but I guess it’s just my fate

For the Moment
02:26
|
|||
Things have settled down, I’m feeling better now
I felt so stuck in my head there was no getting out
But I made it through, I always do
But in the moment I lose focus and I get confused
When all the pain emerges I’m looking fine on the surface
But underneath I am hurting and feeling so fucking worthless
I don’t know how it happens
I just know that it’s the way it always has been
But I’m doing fine for now, soaking up the light
In hopes to stave away the shadows that come for me at night
How long will it last? It’s really hard to know
I just take what I can get and keep pushing along
Things have gotten better, but also gotten worse
I improve then I lose this shit must be a curse
But for the moment, everything’s OK
The demons are at bay, and the sun’s in my face
It could happen at any moment, for any reason
Triggered by anything and I don’t know how to defeat it
I don’t know how to fix it
I’ve tried so many things but they’ve only treated the symptoms
I’m feeling fine for now
But it’s always right behind me, I can see it in the clouds
The sun still shines, but the light gets dim
There’s no way to run for cover this is up in my head
It’s really nothing new
Feeling like I live in London December of ’52
I’m getting some help
But it’s too early to determine it’s improving my health
So I’m holding out hope
I think it’s going to be beneficial we’ll see how it goes
But for now, I’ll just be happy with today
Cause at any moment the demons could break free from their cage

Over Dues
02:03
|

Every damned week, another song
How much longer can I continue going on?
Forever is the answer, at least until I die
I’m a glutton for punishment, masochistic with a mic
Nobody gives a fuck, and I don’t really blame them
Why should anybody care about my journey chasing greatness?
That’s not true, well I’ve got a couple friends
Who’ve been there since the beginning and will be there till the end
It’s those homies, who really keep me going
They give me energy, even if they don’t know it
Cause knowing someone cares, is all it really takes
I said a handful of friends bitch not you you’re fake
So what you bought an album like back in the day
Where the fuck you been since man get out my face
You were never down, you just were around
And weren’t really that it just occurred to me now
I don’t claim I’m not delusional, I prob’ly am
Plus I’m bitter with the results of the music I release
That didn’t rhyme, but who cares nobody listens
I’m running out of dues while you struggle to pay attention
But what do I expect?
A bunch of raving fans, cash money, and tons of sex?
Yeah of course, what else would I say?
I’m not an idiot, I just look this way
Do this and do that you’re bound to blow up
Man give me a fucking break I’m about to throw up
Everybody’s got advice, they know the secret
It worked for so and so, yeah whatever man you can keep it
Hard work doesn’t matter, talent don’t mean shit
You don’t believe me then listen to the radio get a grip
Everything is luck it’s a number’s game
But at least I got a full head of hair and lovely face

The Heist (feat. Woody)
02:28
|
|||
It’s time to get busy
Hopped out the car grab the tools move in quickly
Cause we’re literally taking the bank
Elite crew, mastermind, nobody’s money is safe
Scaled the back wall with a can of liquid styrofoam
Sprayed the casing of the alarm, but does the siren blow?
No? Proceed to step two
Tap electrical power so we can cut through the roof
On top of the vault, working careful and cautious
Bypassing the alarm connected to the sherif’s office
We don’t trip as we’re nearing the goal
Dynamite pack it tight watch the ceiling implode
Grab the sledge hammer custom fitted with a tip
To fit inside deposit boxes hit it open let it rip
We got jewelry, stocks, bonds, and checks
Jammed the vault from within, then we’re off to the next
One for the money, two for the thrill
Three to get paid, four for the steal
We think quick, act fast, move stealth
Cause by the time the smoke clears we’ve made off with your wealth
The next step was the armored car facility
Tough but to crack but we had the ability
We paid the safety inspector for all the intel
And met at midnight behind the back stairwell
We knew all the camera locations and the schedule
When the guards came in for their break it was something special
One by one we tied em up at the wrists
Blindfold over the eyes then we left em to sit
Went to the loading dock to intercept deliveries
Surprised three guards that remained with agility
We saw the money in cages bagged up
Bolt cutter for the lock and now it’s time for the truck
Had the U Haul van outside ready to go
Only took a few minutes just to load up the dough
Found security rooms and grabbed up all of the tapes
then we got away clean never leaving a trace
One for the money, two for the thrill
Three to get paid, four for the steal
We think quick, act fast, move stealth
Cause by the time the smoke clears we’ve made off with your wealth

Tomorrow (feat. Woody)
03:00
|
|||
I try to go with the grain and swim with current
Separating what is important from what is urgent
Cause it’s easy to get tossed about
By the waves of life, leaving you stranded and feeling lost somehow
I need to practice self-constraint
But resistance kicks in, there’s going to be hell to pay
It’s typical, every day in defensive mode
Losing my cool and then explode, but I know I can get it though
The only way out is through
Today may be a waste but tomorrow’s a new
Chance to advance show up and improve
And if I don’t succeed try again on round 2
I’m on limited time, one day I will die
So I really see no reason not to give it a try
Stay present to the moment, focus on the goal and
No matter what happens I know I have to keep going
Life is pressure so I’m pushing back
And every loss has a lesson yeah I’m learning that, we’ve got to face the facts
Change is constant from dusk till dawn
We’ve got all stand strong and fight on
I hope that one day you might hear it, truth before convenience, truth before comfort
I hope that I believe it if I see it but I’m unsure
Lost in transition, lost in translation
The very same condition thats sweeping this whole nation
I’m trying to gain position I’m praying for inflation
I’m not really saying much because I’m trying to make a statement
Now you don’t see me at the club but I don’t see you at the bank
Numbers are adding up and I’ve got myself to thank
I’m breaking these walls down I’m trying it all now
I’m leaving them sprawled out
I fear no fallout, I can’t stand waiting no hesitation
Procrastination is something that really does try my patience
I’m doing my best to make it this world is for the taking
Shaking shit loose and blending it into a new creation
Using imagination, like I’m naming constellations
I’m writing my own proclamations
Life is pressure so I’m pushing back
And every loss has a lesson yeah I’m learning that, we’ve got to face the facts
Change is constant from dusk till dawn
We’ve got all stand strong and fight on

Look how we do
You come alone while we come with a crew
It’s like that, don’t even pipe back
I wouldn’t recommend you try to fight back
You lost game over
We shut it down and we’re taken it over
We got it locked and we’re taken the keys
You seem to suffer from a complaining disease
Stay on the move
Cat got your tongue can’t talk or chew
Faking the funk never keeping it real
Why you got to be the loudest squeak in the wheel
No skill no talent
Cliche as fuck imitating the whack shit
Take my advice
Do us a favor stay away from the mic
Vibes high, when I walk on the sky
Ain’t no telling when I’m feeling the flight
Mind get right till I’m blind from site
Third eye so bright that I shine like lights
In a search in a sea for a treasure for free
Ain’t no riches bringing pleasure to me
Weather or not we are better 2B
1A or A1 no sweating the beef
Listen my decision is to boss the move
Walk it like I talk it like I lost the groove
In an ocean of lies first prize is truth
Meditate for better days all eyes on you
Hootie hoo, Outkast in the game of life
Roll it up toke it up ain’t the same as pipes
Lame advice in this brain of mine
Two times brain of mine like the same old rhyme

Not Today
02:26
|

I’m so damn bored
With the music I’m not sure that I can do it anymore
Well I know that I can do it
It’s a matter of desire and I’m tired nothing’s new it’s
The same damned beat, C, D flat, and F
The Danny Elfman of Hip Hop strikes again
I’m trying to branch out, going out on a limb
Producing other genres but it does not hit
I’ve taken master classes by some of the greats
Got inspired but the beats are still sounding the same
What the hell’s my problem, I just can’t shake it
I’m about to Bruce Lee my whole production station
I’m aggravated, annoyed, agitated
Pissed off, unamused, and mad frustrated
When I open my DAW, I start to feel itchy
All the sounds suck and I can’t stop making
A really big deal out of this whole entire thing
You can accomplish what you want if you only believe
Yeah whatever, I’m growing more convinced
That the only real secret is no secret exists
I’ve done all the math, I’ve read all the books
And for a second I even started doubting my good looks
Shame, never question your gorgeous face
That’s your money maker bro, plus it’s your saving grace
Yeah you’re right, never settle for lesser
So I’m going to give it my best average effort
I’ll keep plugging away
Because something’s got to give or get given away
I can’t stop, won’t stop rocking away
I should put down the mic, but not today

Something’s got to change, a shift needs to happen
Creativity is low and I’m really bored of rapping
I can’t sing, well of course I’m capable
But it sounds like wind out the other end of my anal hole
I wish I could just stop and quit
But I’ve come too far to go back, plus I’m obstinate
I used to be on fire now I burn slow
Welcome to the weekly entry of my music journal
This week, is the same as last
I’ve hit a road block and it’s making me mad
I’ve tried to switch it up with little to no success
Perhaps I need to call it quits it’s time to give it a rest
But I can’t, didn’t you hear I said I’m obstinate?
I’m headed for year three, and yes I will accomplish it
So stick with me as the saga unfolds
And you can call me butter, cause I’m on a roll
Thing’s been going well
That’s why you haven’t heard complaints about my mental health
Sometimes I wonder
Why be happy if it means the art may have to suffer?
That’s a song in itself
The art can take a hit, I don’t often feel well
I’m just riding the waves
Floating through an ocean of emotional change
Let’s bring it back to the music
One thing I don’t release every week are some weak excuses
I’ll even finish songs a head of schedule
Cause I’m out of town and won’t be around to release the next few
So shut up I don’t want to hear your bitching
You’re waiting to get started, hell I’m waiting to get finished
I’ve made a goal and I’ll commit
And I won’t stop till Gary Vee acknowledges this shit

Gratitude

I’ve got food in my stomach, clothes on my back
A roof over my head, what more could I ask?
My friends are pretty cool, my family is tight
I’m my own boss, and every week I get to write
I make my own agenda, it’s pretty great
Sometimes I sleep in, and start the day late
I eat a balanced breakfast of avocado toast
With an iced tea and berries cause I live on the West Coast
I’m up in NorCal now, run amuck
It’s not SoCal, but hey the parking doesn’t suck!
And that’s amazing, I was going insane
Every night nearly parking my car a half mile away
But life is good, I’m feeling really well
Started getting therapy, and that’s been a big help
My head’s above water, and I feel like I can breathe
So I got to make a song expressing positivity
I’m feeling blessed
Like I’m sitting on top of a treasure chest
I’ve got a lot of gold stored within
I’m feeling really fortunate
We’re here for a moment, then we’re not
So it helps to be thankful for all the things that you’ve got
I’ve got a good support system
Of friends and family who if I need it they will listen
Fresh food, fridge is full
Clean sheets, bed is comfortable
The water runs, plus it’s hot
And I’ve got a car to take me to wherever I want
How about an internet connection?
To access information and to learn lessons
That right there is magic alone
Plus I can do it anywhere anytime from my phone
If it’s cold, I’ll kick on the heat
And if it’s too hot I got an awesome AC
I can’t forget my comp
Cause it’s helped me record a hundred and sixteen songs!
I’m feeling blessed
Like I’m sitting on top of a treasure chest
I’ve got a lot of gold stored within
I’m feeling really fortunate

Empyreal (feat. Bixill)
02:18

I had a dream last night about a rhyme I spit
I woke up in the middle, but it went like this
How is it that the source of all pleasure and pain
Just happen to be one in the same?
A solitary mind game, digging for deeper veins
Fearing, but still needing, the change
It's always night time in my mind, for better and worse
Half moon in the sky, either blessed or I'm cursed
Bad as it hurts, bleeding thru the words
Another dream quest, obsessed with the absurd
The artist will exploit anything
But open their veins for the love of being
The artist will exploit anyone
Including himself, call it well when it’s done
Awoke from a simple lie to a complex truth
That’s why we gotta stay in the booth
Set sail to discover
The lost horizon the gods failed to uncover
I stood there, caution ignored
Then saw myself reappear in an alternate form
No keys, just walked in the door
Accompanied by thoughts I forgot from before
Reminded, I was, relieved of my task
No longer submissive to the impulsive grasp
The sun danced for an hour or two
Until a storm came knocking and devoured the room
I swam through the silence no danger appeared
But then darkness emerged with a faceless veneer
I reached for the moon as it trudged ahead
Saw the stars form a message that forewarned and read
Reality looms on the edge of belief
Pay attention to the shadows when the heavens don’t speak

Memento Mori
02:33
|
|||
One day you’re here, the next you are not
Once was remembered, but now forgot
You left a legacy once upon a time
But now your name is meaningless words on a sign
Played by the rules, got your award
A one way ticket, down to the morgue
Life passes by, but death will not ignore you
It’ll give you due attention like the rest who came before you
Let it be known
Not a person here today was here two centuries ago
Lights out, a bottomless hole
The earth spins and swallows us whole
All the blood, sweat, the tears
All the fantasies, heartaches, fears
You kept score, but at the end of the game
No punishment for the pleasure, no reward for your pain
You know how it ends, it’s all the same
From diapers to depends, cradle to the grave
Nothing really matters as much as you think
Your shallow problems only go 6ft deep
It’s coming for us all, just beyond the wall
No dragon glass, no fire balls
There’s no point of a plan of attack
Cause when death smiles at you, you can only smile back
It’s a matter of time
So keep your attitude loose no one gets out a live
Many have tried, but no one escapes
Lunch for the worms, that is your fate
Consumed by the earth, withered away
Where your hopes and dreams become bitter decay
Even if you had some significant fame
When the sun explodes no one remembers your name
All the blood, sweat, the tears
All the fantasies, heartaches, fears
The reaper tugs on your sleeve
Says the party will continue but you have to leave
You know how it ends, it’s all the same
From diapers to depends, cradle to the grave
Nothing really matters as much as you think
Your shallow problems only go 6ft deep

Dear HR

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s negative motherfuckers
They always complain and talk about others
It’s like they need quit bitching and get a life
Instead of causing so much drama it isn’t right
And some of these people are so abusive
That they’ll write entire songs just nagging all in their music
I don’t get it, it’s like who has the time
To do something so awful and put it up online
It doesn’t make sense, I can’t stand these folks
I wish they all would die or fall over and croak
Get hit by a car or drive into a wall
I’m just super thankful I’m not like them at all
Is this where they want to be, when Jesus comes back?
Would they kiss their mom with that mouth or even their dad?
They’re so sad, pathetic, and mean
Why can’t they stop complaining and be more like me?
If I hear one more complaint, I’m gonna start to yell
Cause these people all around me are toxic as hell
All they do is groan, I can’t take this shit
I was telling my friend Steve how it makes me sick
So me and Steve got together, and made a list
Of all the crappy qualities of the people we work with
It’s getting long, plus there’s more to add
The list is so enraging just saying it makes me mad
I can’t think and it keeps me up at night
These people are so nasty, bitter, and not nice
I guess I have to be the voice of reason
They should be more like me, but that’s wishful thinking
Is this where they want to be, when Jesus comes back?
Would they kiss their mom with that mouth or even their dad?
They’re so sad, pathetic, and mean
Why can’t they stop complaining and be more like me?

I don’t want to die, but I’m too afraid to live
Terrified to make mistakes and take a risk
I’d rather make believe, hide and play pretend
Ignoring that someday I’ll have to face the end
And everybody that I love I’ll have to watch them face it to
Witness their decline, nothing I can do
Slowly rot away or quickly disappear
Is there really any wonder why I sit and live in fear?
Every day it gets a little bit closer
I can feel it in the morning when my bones hurt
I can see it in the mirror when my skin sags
The one truth about youth it doesn’t last
I thought I’d always be 20 something
A decade plus later and I’m wondering what the fuck did
I think was going to happen, this is how it works
The body runs its course, then gets covered in dirt
I don’t want my family to die, I want them to keep living
Sometimes at night I cry can’t control my negative visions
But that’s reality, I guess the truth hurts
That’s not an “old man,” that’s your future
I disregarded older people when I was young
But now I’m that older person the one to be judged
Obsessed with death, I can’t get away
Age is nothing more than different rates of decay
I look into the mirror, stare at my face
Then reflect upon how much my parents have aged
Saw a photo of my pops, like who the fuck is that?
Vaguely resembling the man that I call my dad?
Perhaps I shouldn’t think that or say it out loud
But you prob’ly think it too and if you don’t you do now
I get depressed and start to spiraling down
When I think about the day my parents won’t be around

One moment I’m thankful, the next ungrateful
I can’t stop listening if my neighbor is fucking
Who’s got the keys? Who’s in the driver’s seat?
Cause this ain’t the route I chose to go get me up off this street
Driven by impulse, haunted by shame
Ear to the wall, in the closet I came
Well I tried, but the voices had left
So I stood there with my pants down, I must have gone deaf
Every night it’s the same routine
The noises verberate, I’m imagining things
The blood begins to pump, you know the places to check
Attentive, focused, but all I hear is my breath
Give it a rest, and get back to work
No results for over a fucking year
So much time just dumped down the drain
In pursuit of abnormal behaviors taken over my brain
I used to be annoyed when an opening would appear
And the passion between two bodies penetrated my ear
But then I came to my senses
Put the focus up on came, that’s where the emphasis is
I would come home at night
Dark room, window open, the conditions were right
I would go about my business, ear to the wind
Fingers crossed, steady listen, hoping to hit
But it didn’t, it must be hell I live in
Cause I squandered 2 hours on someone else’s television
Yes, it’s an addiction
This behavior is taking way more than it is giving
Yet I give in, I’m too weak to resist
I’ve got a little help but the problem persists
It’s all good though, I know I can do it
I just got to find a reason or pursue a solution

The World Keeps Spinning
02:35
|
|||
So much can go wrong and it happens so fast
One moment it was fine then it all went bad
Everything seemed normal, just another day
Then your whole world shifted and became a different place
The familiar looks strange, what does it mean?
Second guessing your perceptions, struggle to believe
Nothing makes sense, what the hell do you do?
Reality settles in while you sit there confused
And the world keeps spinning, no regard for your time
You struggle to keep up, and you’re falling behind
Praying that it stops, but it won’t even slow
Indifferent to your request and dismisses your hope
And the world keeps spinning, no regard for your time
You struggle to keep up, and you’re falling behind
Praying that it stops, but it won’t even slow
Indifferent to your request and dismisses your hope
Feeling broken yet you can’t catch a break
So tired you can’t sleep, thoughts keep you awake
The questions keep coming, the answers don’t exist
And it wouldn’t change a thing even if they did
You’re a prisoner of the mind
It’s so hard to move on, don’t know if you’ll survive
No one can relate, well maybe just a few
But the pain still remains that you have to go through
And the world keeps spinning, no regard for your time
You struggle to keep up, and you’re falling behind
Praying that it stops, but it won’t even slow
Indifferent to your request and dismisses your hope
And the world keeps spinning, no regard for your time
You struggle to keep up, and you’re falling behind
Praying that it stops, but it won’t even slow
Indifferent to your request and dismisses your hope

Stepped on the scene the let my dick hit the floor
Started busting a rhyme like gimme some more
I peeped your girl doing a yoga pose
Then reached for a Kleenex, so I could blow my nose
Royally moving my bowels
King sized shit, losing my crown
Why suffer in silence when I can do it aloud
I’m sure you’d do it too, if you were allowed
Man you suck so badly
What’s the first rule of Q & A? Don’t ask me
Three’s company, two is a crowd
Once upon a time I was stupid and proud
Stop goofing around
I know you got balls, there’re two in your mouth
It’s that freak freak party, I’m a see ya later
Gonna go stick my dick in the mashed potatoes
It’s turtle shells all the way down
It’s a banana peel flying at you now
Is it the love potion or the way elixir
It’s not the size of flick but the motion in the picture
Get it together
I can’t decide or accept if it’s permissible whether
To letter dominate the alphabetter
I’m tied up in rulers, I’m bound to measure
The amount is overdue
A, E, I owe, so let me get back to you
It may be a while
It took Bannister a year to run a 4 minute mile
You follow trends and you still suck
You say you’re catching Phil’s, catching Phil’s what?
I hate to disagree, and I hope to stop
Cause I’m a contrarian, no I’m not

I live my life to serve your needs
Don’t ask how I feel, don’t even say please
Just expect it, my own life doesn’t matter
It’s ok you disrespect it, I like to be neglected
My only goal is to fulfill your dreams
Cause I have none of my own not to mention I don’t sleep
I’d love to but I’m busy with your passion
Making sure your vision gets completed in a timely fashion
You place a huge value on time
When it comes to your own, but not mine
I’m just another cog
If I’m unavailable you think I’m fucking off
God forbid a day is empty
With all the peanuts that you’re paying it’s so tempting
I’d love for you to book my time
So I can keep working to death while I’m still alive
We didn’t use the work, fuck you pay me
We found someone internal, fuck you pay me
We didn’t get the funding, fuck you pay me
We canceled the project, fuck you pay me
We didn’t use the work, fuck you pay me
We’ve brought in someone else, fuck you pay me
We think we’ve paid you enough, fuck you pay me
We didn’t want it after all, fuck you pay me
Oh I can make it happen
Just send me– oh you want to send the payment after?
See I don’t work that way you want results you got to pay
You want it now you got to pay, so move it bitch, andale!
And pay a premium, the reason you’re coming to me is cause
I’m giving you quality quickly son, I get it done
I mean you don’t have to work with me
Just know that I’m never motivated when asked to work for free
You got a project to shoot
I read your email and thought your offer was cute
Clearly you don’t know me bro
I’m not a college kid who’s working on his portfolio
Minimum effort, minimum wage
I put my all into a project that’s why I’m getting paid
That’s why my shit is top notch and looks amazing
Yeah, fuck you pay me
We didn’t use the work, fuck you pay me
We found someone internal, fuck you pay me
We didn’t get the funding, fuck you pay me
We canceled the project, fuck you pay me
We didn’t use the work, fuck you pay me
We’ve brought in someone else, fuck you pay me
We think we’ve paid you enough, fuck you pay me
We didn’t want it after all, fuck you pay me

Are they devoid of meaning? Are they really?
Are you Miriam Webster? Who gave you the dictionary?
“Truth doesn’t exist it’s so obvious dude!”
Then I’ve got a question, “Is that true?”
I keep it rocking like a porch swing, your whole style is boring
While I get attention just like an orange tee
Yeah, reflect on that
You put your album up on USB, eject on that
You should give it up
With your watered down sound even streaming sites wouldn’t pick it up
I’m not mad just spiteful
Your album was so trash it couldn’t even be recycled
A battle rap event? What a bunch of bull
They can’t organize, so dysfunctional
If you mess with me, I swear you’ll regret it
I’ll toss your fucking dog across the yard and make you go fetch it
Too many chiefs, not enough of something else
Your good intentions don’t really do anything to fucking help
And what the hell do you know?
You’ve been sailing out at sea and never stepped off the boat
You’ve been selling out I see and yet you ended up broke
The devil’s got you by the details and poof up in smoke
So what’d it cost?
Oh you don’t get laid as much? That’s a fucking loss
Yeah I can read your fortune
It says your life is full of shit that’s unimportant
Who’s at the station? They left the controls
Same shit different sound from a decade ago
The radio is whack
It’s the same 4 songs and they play them back to back
I’d rather shit in my mouth
Than listen to the garbage that I’m fucking hearing come out

Ring around the rosy
I hopped into bed with your sister just get cozy
Hey what are you doing!? That’s not your sister
That’s a grown man, wrong bed, sorry mister!
I said what the heck you doing? I’m doing fine
No what the hell you doing are you out of your mind?
Yes, yes I am
I ran out last night about 2 am
You see I couldn’t get to sleep, I don’t freaking care get away from me
Just one second the story’s incomplete
Alright, so I was lying there
Trying to keep my eyes closed cause I was kind of scared
I kept having these thoughts of
Like, what if something comes out the closet?
And tries to eat my face and spit it on my mother
Shut the hell up and give me back all the covers
So what do you think? Are you scared too?
Boy this is the last time I tell you
To get the hell away– wait a minute I can explain
So like this monster grabs on my leg
And tries to pull me under but I kick it in the head
Poke it in the eye and do a flip off the bed
I ran for the door but more monsters surrounded me
That’s it I’m counting to three!
One! Hold on I'm almost done
I grabbed the door handle– by the way you’re no fun
Two! Gosh, are you always this mean?
All I want to do is tell you my– wait don’t say three!
Two and a half, ok that’s fair
Here’s the last detail then I’m out of your hair
So– wait are you bald?
I’m so sorry that’s my fault
I should have been more mindful
Three! Now get the hell out of my room!
Ok fine! Then that’s where it ends
Goodness you act like I can’t take a hint

Whoah, hold up, stop right there
I don’t give a fuck I don’t care
Keep the drama to yourself I don’t play that game
Monopolizing on my time bitch not today
You got some good gossip got to tell someone?
I can’t help you son
I got so many less important things to do
Than listen to you moan about the shit they put you through
Take action, do something different
But for the love of god man please stop bitching
Get your ass out the kitchen
If you can’t take the heat I’ll repeat please listen
Nobody cares that you’re heard
Except the other yak-heads waiting their turn
So please get away
The magic 8 ball says try again different day
Bro, it’s time to back off
You’re coming at me hard with that verbal jack off
You need to show some restraint
Pipe the fuck down man own your mistakes
I came hear to work not to listen to your nonsense
Bullshit gossip that shit is toxic
I got my own problems I don’t need yours
How the fuck did you sneak through the door?
Who let you in? Who do I smack?
For doing some dumb ass shit like that
Now we’re all fucking sick
Cause you had to be running ya lip
And for what? To get some attention?
To get likes? To get a mention?
Here’s my prescription
Idle your car in the garage and don’t turn off the engine

They come out the wood work, soap boxers
On high with opinions to offer
Foaming at the mouth claim you’re holding the facts
But what you don’t understand is that nobody asked
Man I ain’t got no time for
Self-aggrandizement hop off your high horse
Come back to earth
You’ve been gassed up for too long it has to hurt
We know that you’re right
We know that you’re cool number one on the mic
Opinions and pizza what’s the difference?
I ordered a pizza not opinions
You’ve closed your mind
You’re obsessed with trying to control our lives
Pathetic, but go ahead rant on
You have to when you don’t have no ground to stand on
Soap box preaching, gather ‘round for the sermon
Man it’s time for some learning
That soap box preaching, and if you’re not observant
Then it’s your turn to burn man
Soap box preaching, gather ‘round for the sermon
It’s time for some learning

Cruising along, taking my time
Everybody’s in a hurry but not me cause I’m
Coolin’, might hit the swimming pool and
Take me a dip and enjoy myself
I’m relaxing, no worries no strife
Hakuna Matata as I move through life
It’s all good, no excuse or complaining
The sun is always shinning even when it’s raining
Keep your eye on the prize
Move towards your goal life is full of surprise
S.N. Goenke he makes me laugh
An itch arises just to pass
I keep moving and grooving along
Nodding my head to the beat of the song
Cause if sadness befalls you
Kick on this track and turn up the volume

Dropped my pants let my dick hit the pavement
Then watched it roll around like a pig in a blanket
No foot on the break
Found the nearest phone booth, and put on a cape
See it flapping? I’m important
A super hero choking crooks out with his foreskin
Wrecking balls, knock them out
They all scram when the super cock comes out
I be swinging dick on the daily
Killing villains with my flesh pistol always spraying
The bad guys try to hit me
But they don’t know the magenta tip works quickly
They run when the cock is deployed
Cause they know what happens when my balls drop and destroy
Leaving them shocked and confused
My dick is slap happy but I’m not as amused
The cock cop is on duty, yeah you know it
She’s acting suspicious, let’s see if she blows it
There’re a lot of dicks new on the beat
But they ain’t got the sizzle like I do in my meat
Put the coffee down
This is my city I’m running this town
Little caribou with a loose buckle
I’m form fitted, moose knuckle
I don’t need a bullet proof vest
When my balls are so big that they cover my chest
Ready to unlock and unload
Cum inside a blanket superman dat ho
Blue balls, I’m feeling teste
No pity when they say don’t arrest me
Gotham knows when I’m flashing my nuts
The crime stopping cock tea bagging them up

You picked up the mic and started rapping (rapping)
That is something that should not have happened (nope)
These rappers telling jokes they have me laughing (haha)
Your music belongs inside of a trash bin (yup yup)
Yeah, I get hot headed, I cannot let up
What a crock set up, how you not fed up?
Oh you think that shit is cool, get a thought check up
These rappers be retarded from the, neck up
Yeah, cliche, duplicate, fake clones
No skill, speak with they mouth closed
Selling garbage man you calling that a download?
Shit weak as fuck even kid knows
Used to think that it was just a few rappers
Now I see that it be the whole platform
It’s designed so you never have to think
Convincing you that you really are free
Same old shit be playing on the screen
Same old shit be in the magazines
Everybody copies what’s on the tv
A bunch of clones no originality
Same old shit be playing on the screen
Same old shit be in the magazines
Everybody copies what’s on the tv
A bunch of clones no originality
These rappers always got the same cliches
Doing drugs, fucking bitches, and an inked face
Ain’t no talent it just be a lot of rhymes fake
Flow, sucks, no skill, a big time waste
What the fuck was that? Nada, got no time for it
Used to write some bad ass lines, now they just snort’em
Loss of consciousness, now we just get boredom
Tryna alleviate the clich’, this shit sound foreign
All the same, rest in peace original
Rappers suck cause they replicate the bull
Basic emcess seem to be in the control
It’s me against the world, that’s how I roll
I click on youtube, shit is whack
Ain’t nobody skilled who can rap
Rappers sound the same singing on the track
Plastic all up in my ear, so I pass
Same old shit be playing on the screen
Same old shit be in the magazines
Everybody copies what’s on the tv
A bunch of clones no originality

They Copy
02:37
|

I be on the grind I never sleep that’s how I live
These other rappers faking telling lies on how they live
They want to be like everybody else on the TV
So they replicate the images they see upon the screen
They copy, they copy, they hella fake’n
They copy, they copy, they celebrate it
They copy, they copy, they hella fake’n
They copy, they copy, they celebrate it
All these rappers looking for the trend to follow next
They’re jerking off each other over who can copy best
It really makes no sense that I should sit here and complain
Cause it’s how it’s always been since the start of the game
The audiences love it, what’s that about?
It makes me want to vomit all up in my mouth
The kids be jocking, thinking it’s dope
Just put me out my misery and put one in my dome
If the bullet doesn’t kill me though I hope that it does
I’m going to suffocate from all the puke stuck in my lungs
40 fucking years I know it can’t stay the same
But do we still need rappers putting “lil” in their name?
They copy, they copy, they hella fake’n
They copy, they copy, they celebrate it
They copy, they copy, they hella fake’n
They copy, they copy, they celebrate it
I’m old, I’m bitter, I’m baffled
I’m never unamazed by these saturated rappers
You got the cars, and the girls in your video
Congratulations, you’re unoriginal
Did it never occur that you’re same
As the last motherfucker who put lil in his name?
Who put money in his flows, drugs in his raps
The last, four thousand and 7 rappers did that
But it doesn’t really matter, no one cares
They just that think they’re above the shitty music that they hear
So raise your glass for this celebration
Of four more decades of replication
They copy, they copy, they hella fake’n
They copy, they copy, they celebrate it
They copy, they copy, they hella fake’n
They copy, they copy, they celebrate it

It's Just a Ride
02:54

It’s just a ride, fun for a while
It runs its course once there is no trial
You can look into the future or stare into the past
But you’ll miss out on the present the only moment you have
Controlled or free?
Locked in a cage, holding the key
Defined by what they say you’re supposed to be
Lift the window, open the screen
It’s your life, do what you want
But remember that this ride will come to a stop
Fear or love it’s your choice to make
Life is measured by the moments you create
The ride can be hell or it can be heaven
Depending on the color of green in your perception
The temptation is felt
But courage is easy behind a wall that you’ve built
I keep my ears open, hoping to hear
The answers, but all I see is smoke and mirrors
So I keep looking past
Still afraid of the questions I’m told I shouldn’t ask
It’s just a ride, fun for a while
It runs its course once there is no trial
You can look into the future or stare into the past
But you’ll miss out on the present the only moment you have
It’s just a ride, fun for a while
It runs its course once there is no trial
You can look into the future or stare into the past
But you’ll miss out on the present the only moment you have
Covered in shadows as I move through the dark
Trying to find my way around this amusement park
The ride goes up, down, spinning around
Feels like I’m losing as confusion abounds
I’m damaged goods, don’t come near
Terrified to be naked so I’m cloaked in fear
I want to say things you’re not supposed to hear
So I bide my time till the coast is clear
But that isn’t how it works, not on this planet
Considered manipulation to offset the damage
But fuck that, that’s how a coward acts
Who’s afraid to face the truth and navigate without a map
I’ve kept my ears open, sift through the bullshit
Broke all the mirrors, what the fuck are you smoking?
The proof is in the pudding
Cause I’m asking all the questions that they say I shouldn’t
It’s just a ride, fun for a while
It runs its course once there is no trial
You can look into the future or stare into the past
But you’ll miss out on the present the only moment you have
It’s just a ride, fun for a while
It runs its course once there is no trial
You can look into the future or stare into the past
But you’ll miss out on the present the only moment you have

Pimp Game
04:30
|
|||
Are you a pimp? Or you a hoe?
Are you a trick? What’s your role?
Know the game and you’re bound to
Adopt a pimp mentality and see it all around you
The pimps are the people who get money from hoes
Promising protection from danger and foes
They do a lot of work so that the hoe can go earn
But they get all the money that she makes in return
Hoes sell their body for money that’s why they do it
Then come back to the pimp and give all their cash to him
They lived a troubled past, it’s a common picture
They like the pimp cause he’s a father figure
If they had financial sense
They could work for themselves, instead of the pimp
But they buy flashy things and throw their money away
So they need the pimp to feel secure and keep them straight
A trick is a man who pays a hoe for sex
They support the whole system with the money that’s spent
She fucked a thousand dudes but it really changes nothing
Cause he needs his ego stroked and is happy to pay money
Are you a pimp? Or you a hoe?
Are you a trick? What’s your role?
Know the game and you’re bound to
Adopt a pimp mentality and see it all around you
Business owners are the pimps, controlling dividends
They recruit the best hoes to sell products and services
To be a boss takes a lot of leg work
But they’re rolling in the money from employee efforts
Cause workers are the hoes getting paid by the pimp
To push the businesses products and make the CEO rich
In return they get the safety of employment
Insurance, benefits, some even enjoy it
The customer is a trick
Spending their money on tons of worthless shit
Pathetic’s what their life is, look at this advertisement
For X amount of money you can buy yourself excitement
Are you a pimp? Or you a hoe?
Are you a trick? What’s your role?
Know the game and you’re bound to
Adopt a pimp mentality and see it all around you
The elites have mega power, and money for days
They pimp the politicians and execs in the bank
They run the corporations with a hand in their assets
And hire the best hoes to influence the masses
Prostitutes and politicians
The same position, ain’t no difference
Taking orders from the pimping elite
Otherwise they end up broke living back on the street
The poor and middle-class are society’s tricks
They buy the politician’s dream the product of pimps
Every four years a new story is told
But they’re tricked just the same the game never gets old
And that’s how it is when you’re dealing with pimps
Some of us are hoes, most of us are tricks
Spending money we don’t have, on shit we can’t afford
Impressing people we don’t like, no wonder we’re poor
But that’s how it goes
When you’re running barefooted trying to catch the Jones’s
It’s your life, choose a position
Buy shit, sell tricks, or boss up and pimp it
Are you a pimp? Or you a hoe?
Are you a trick? What’s your role?
Know the game and you’re bound to
Adopt a pimp mentality and see it all around you

Sample Jay-Z “big pimpin”
– BIG “I don’t chase them I replace them”
PIMPS
The pimps are the men – and sometimes women – who get money from the hoes.
They promise protection for the women that hoe for them. And they also sell the hoe a dream. They use their charisma to make the hoe feel good and convince the hoe that they should give all the money to them.
The pimp mentality is one that involves persuasion and sometimes manipulation. Pimps have to do the work to manage the hoes, get them set up to work, and deal with their complaints. But in return, they get all the money the hoe brings in. And then the pimp makes the decision on how to pay the hoe. Pimps can treat their hoes good or bad, with respect or disgust.
Pimps have an incredible amount of confidence and are never shaken by what a woman does
HOES
Hoes are the women who prostitute themselves off. They sleep with men for money. Honey for the money. And then they come back to the pimp and give him all of the money.
Hoes generally have damaged backgrounds. They tend to lack a father figure or a male role model in their life. Many of them run away from home, have drug problems, or just want strong male direction in their life. They find the pimp mentality very attractive when they run into a man that has this.
In fact, they’re willing to give all the money they make to a pimp just to make him happy. Hoes could make lots of money if they had financial sense and worked for themselves. But they usually like to buy flashy things, blow all of their money, and live reckless lives. That’s why they need a pimp to set them straight and make them feel secure.
TRICKS
Tricks are the ones who pay the hoe for sex. They’re a trick because they’re giving their money for something they shouldn’t be paying for. Yet tricks will happily pay their money to sleep with a hoe who’s fucked 1000’s of dudes just to feel better about themselves.
Tricks support the whole system. They buy what the hoe is selling, which is really the pimp’s product.
The trick doesn’t take a second to stop and think about the decision he’s making and how dumb of a choice it is.
OWNERS
The CEO or owners of a business are the boss. They start the company, build it up, and make the money. They’re usually hoes as well, because they have to do the work when they start the company. But as it grows and they have sales, marketing, engineers, and other workers, the owners get to become the pimps of the company.
They control how the profits are divided, who gets paid what, who stays, who gets fired, who gets promoted, and who still needs to prove themselves.
Owners have a pimp mentality without even realizing it. They try to recruit the best workers (hoes) to their company (team), and get to reap the rewards of their work.
It’s not easy being an owner. Just like a pimp, you have to take care of your workers. You need to give them a nice office, benefits, and some time off once in a while. But in return the owners get to become rich off of the workers.
WORKERS
Workers are the equivalent in the business/working world to hoes.
They spend their hours working for the owners. The workers get paid by what the owners choose and help to make the owners rich. Workers may directly sell to customers, work on the product, do marketing, and so on. But all together they work to sell to the customers and make revenue for the business.
In return, they are promised safety of employment by the owners, benefits, insurance coverage, and other things that make them feel secure. Many workers had bigger dreams when they were younger, but for whatever reason started to think smaller. Most workers have negative self views, are in debt (student loans, mortgages, cars), and are only a few paychecks away from losing everything.
In the world of pimping and hoeing, the worker is the hoe.
CUSTOMERS
Customers, those who buy the products or services from businesses, are the tricks. They’re tricked into spending their money on a product/service from the workers that goes back to the owners.
In real life, customers aren’t always “tricked” in the sense that the product or service is always bad. Sometimes it’s exactly what they wanted. And other times it’s not how it was advertised.
But the advertisements on the billboards, from Facebook, and the convincing of the sales rep at the store, are all efforts to make the customer buy. The point here isn’t to always avoid being a customer because that’s close to impossible. But realize that the prestige associated with expensive brands is all game run on you by pimps through their hoes.
ELITES
Elites are the ultra wealthy and the mega powerful.
Again, I’m not even going to say all elites are bad. Humans are naturally corrupt, and a powerful human is bound to be corrupt. There some elites who may try to do good. But the majority battle amongst themselves with competing agendas to control society. Just like pimps are trying to out hustle other pimps and make the most money in their city.
Elites have executives from Fortune 500 companies and in the banks that take orders and execute influence for them.
They also have politicians they help to put in power in order to carry out their agendas.
With the power of giant corporations and charismatic politicians, the elites understand the pimp mentality. They are to get the best hoes to carry out their orders and influence the masses.
HIGH-END EXECS & POLITICIANS
The high end execs and politicians are the hoes for the elites. They are often put in power by them, and if not, quickly learn that listening to their demands is the quickest way to climb the corporate or political totem poll.
These are not the CEO’s or owners os small businesses or ones who own their companies after they’ve grown. Rather these are the CEO’s and other high end execs who are part of publicly traded companies, or companies where they don’t have majority ownership.
A small town politician may be legit. But once they start rising up to the higher ranks, they need the blessing of someone with a lot of influence.
However, both of of these are the hoes for their pimps.
MIDDLE-CLASS & POOR
The middle class and poor. This is the vast majority of the population. And middle class is becoming more and more poor, we’ll see the two lines blur.
Middle class and poor people are the tricks of the society. They’re buying into the dreams the politicians sell them and buy the products/services the corporations sell them.
Every four years they’re told new stories about how things will change and they believe the politicians every time. The problem is they believe the game that’s being run on them and don’t see it for what is is.

Drowning in Thoughts
02:56
|

What the fuck’s the point of thinking? All I do is think it’s
Food for thought on the dinner table every evening
Can’t keep a hold of my brain
Flooded with thoughts while I’m floating away
Feeling alone and afraid
Swimming through an ocean of emotional pain
Familiar course, no longer the same
Now I’m drifting out to sea where it’s unknown and unsafe
The voices in my head keeping talking loud
I’m in a thunderstorm of thoughts getting tossed about
Trying to stay afloat hoping I don’t drown
Cause if I start to sink it’s a long way down
Through a sea of mental noises
I can’t escape the toxic voices
The incessant questions come
But the answers are insufficient to shut them up
Is this real? Or is it fake?
Lost in thoughts pulled under the waves
Holding my breath, lungs full of mistakes
Gasping to accept all the decisions I’ve made
What the fuck’s the point of thinking? All I do is think it’s
Food for thought on the dinner table every evening
Can’t keep a hold of my brain
Flooded with thoughts while I’m floating away
What the fuck’s the point of thinking? All I do is think it’s
Food for thought on the dinner table every evening
Can’t keep a hold of my brain
Flooded with thoughts while I’m floating away
Overanalyzing everything
It’s such a vicious cycle getting swept inside these memories
Dwelling on the moments
Wishing I could keep so I reach out to hold them
But they slip through my grasp
I can feel myself sinking so I try to relax
Raining down thoughts, how long can it last?
Don’t know where the fuck I’m headed I’ve gone off of the map
I keep thinking I can THINK to calm my mind
But I’m paddling and still I fall behind
It gets better you just got to give it time
Yeah no shit what the fuck you think I’m blind?
I just look this way
I know it gets better but it don’t feel that way
Logic’s no defense trying to cope with the pain
And Reason doesn’t stand a chance to what emotions’ll say
What the fuck’s the point of thinking? All I do is think it’s
Food for thought on the dinner table every evening
Can’t keep a hold of my brain
Flooded with thoughts while I’m floating away
What the fuck’s the point of thinking? All I do is think it’s
Food for thought on the dinner table every evening
Can’t keep a hold of my brain
Flooded with thoughts while I’m floating away

Day by Day

Shit’s all the same, but it’s so different
I’m taking it day by day moment to moment progressing a little bit
Shit’s all the same, but it’s so different
I’m taking it day by day moment to moment progressing a little bit
The memories flood in the thoughts keep on coming cannot get away from it
I need to switch up my direction and really just go ahead and flip the script
It can’t go on like this forever I got to keep moving
Life has a lot of surprises for me just focus on improving
Cherish the past it was full of good laughs and incredible moments
The future is bright you can do this all right BD energy flowing
It’s all the same, same, is it, is it? Cause shit done changed
Sometimes I look up into the mirror and don’t even really recognize my own face
Here I go again on my own like I’m Whitesnake, a decade recovery might take
But it doesn’t matter cause I’m up for the challenge I’m going to take all the time that I need to get over past it
New life in order, float through the day try to stay above water
On a quest to rediscover myself taking care of my health and improve on the former
Shit’s all the same, but it’s so different
I’m taking it day by day moment to moment progressing a little bit
Shit’s all the same, but it’s so different
I’m taking it day by day moment to moment progressing a little bit
The flashbacks hit me, the waterworks coming
I try to keep my composure but I am no match for emotion
Reliving the past so many memories out of my grasp
Any time I go to to bed at night or wake up in the morning the thoughts they be kicking my ass
What the fuck happened? Shit’s so different
But it’s the same, life I’m living
Everything’s fine but it’s not, I’ll get thru it there’s no way I cannot
I’ve been on my own before I’m looking to explore all of the options I’ve got
Back to the start, but I’m further along, taking life’s lessons and learning them all
Trying to walk but first I’m ‘a crawl, pick myself up I’m embracing the fall
Soon I’ll be off and I’m running, picking up the pace motivation is coming
I got to keep pressing myself to move forward and push thru the struggle I will overcome it

Lying in bed alone
Wondering should I get out the house or just stay at home
Cause when the darkness appears
It’s hard not to choke and get swallowed by fears
But I’ve been battling
Shining light on the shadows when
They emerge with the masochist
I have to challenge it
Cause if I don’t I’ll get stuck in a loop always asking “if”
Sometimes I’m up some times I’m down
Most of the time my mind likes to run around
I try to keep it at bay
But it does whatever it wants to keep me in pain
Still the thoughts amass
I keep thinking of a future without my past
So many things I never said
But it’s probly best they were left inside my head
It’s been a little while, but I’m still feeling it
Emotions out of control, trying to reel them in
But there really is no use
Cause I can run from the lies but can’t hide from the truth
Born on earth, raised in hell
It’s so damned easy to hate myself
Play the blame game, shame is felt
I need to take a moment to break the spell
Shit’s so weird
Some days I’m feeling fine like I’m in the clear
Other days I’m in a daze
Still amazed that I’m trapped in a maze
Feeling brittle and small
Trying to do the math to make sense of it all
I can trip into a limitless fall, fall
Depending on the memory recalled

Still Real

The feelings are still real lonely nights at home the emotions spill
Got so far yet caught off guard this broken heart seems hard to heal
Got to get out the bed, out the house, out my head
Out my mind, out of time, slowly draining down the pipe
Life is so brittle and short, leaving you wondering if there is more
Making you think that you’re making believe and the things that you see are illusions of sorts
Confusion galore, window closed so I chose the door
Try to make sense of the situation depression has me cornered but that’s just the norm
So I walk it out, memories everywhere visions abound
I try to escape but I can’t get away it’s so clear to me there is no getting around
I cry then I laugh, the weeds have outgrown taken over the grass
The things that I know keep on holding me back put a noose on my neck I’m hung up on the past
I’m looping again, stuck on thoughts think stupid shit
Need no reminder to realize I made mistakes yeah truth’s a bitch
Feeling left behind, soon replaced by what’s next in line
I guess it’s time, to check my life, and figure out what I’m ‘a do with what’s left of mine
I know it gets better, I know the sun’s shining in spite of the weather
I don’t need reminding just trust me I’m fine OK maybe I’m not but yo what the fuck ever
It’s dark in here, driving fast car starts to veer
The voice of reason is hard to hear, but I think I see a little tiny spark appear
It’s enough to keep going, enough for me to compete with emotion
Enough for me to keep battling back when the madness attacks and I’m so fucking hopeless
Filled with regret, unable to cope I can’t deal with this shit
Feeling like I’m Maximillian Cohen in the bathroom bout to put a drill to my head
Nobody gets it if you say you do then I know that you missed it
I don’t need your input what I need from you is to shut the fuck up lend an ear and just listen
I’m floating away, the water runs deep I don’t know what to say
I guess I’ll keep swimming cause at the end it is a black hole of darkness that swallows this place

I’ve been doing this a while and won’t stop for nothing
Going on three years I’m gonna keep trucking
I’m hip to the game on top like muffin
I play the hand I’m dealt no need for bluffing
I putter along
Making songs about my life and how something is wrong
Doing nothing like a bump on a log
You can rain on my parade once my thunder is gone
I see a lot of people fronting
Faking till they make it trying to short cut it
Get off my porch door shutting
I don’t got time for your superficial dumb shit
Life passes by
While I’m busy making plans night after night
I would laugh but I have to cry
Cause I know no other ways in which to pass the time
I lost my blow job, guess I blew it
You’re so sensitive yet you can’t feel my music
I’m feeling better, a slight improvement
This one a week is tortuous, that’s why I do it
Life is full of choices
So I got a job giving singing lessons to the voiceless
You’d really be surprised
How much noise you can hear between another person’s eyes
I’m just riding a wave
Trying to swim towards the future but my life’s in the way
Arrived early for a timely delay
If you want my whereabouts you can find me in pain
You’ll pass by it when you drive me insane
Next stop cross the bridge to the island of shame
Some are lucky, others have to earn it
In the land of the free, home of the permit

We out to make moves crushing fake crews
Full of lame fools who never paid dues yo they straight lose
We come equip with the skill to kill
Lyrically ill for real
I woke up this morning, in a whirlwind
To find out that every rapper fucked my girlfriend
Is it true, I don’t know, I’m thinking probably
Cause every song I play I always hear them say it constantly
I tried to catch a buzz
But the dealer said Hip Hop had bought it all there’s nothing left for us
Damn, same song different rapper
Nobody bringing original content to the platform what’chu rap for?
You got nothing to say
Nothing to offer the people that isn’t the same song they heard yesterday
Regurgitate shit, clone, copy, all fail
The internet is one big diarrhea cocktail
These rappers suck utter horse shit
And still they get elevated to stardom like a forklift
I’m old and bitter but I’m keeping it real
Cause I can rap bout shit that isn’t fucking bitches and pills

New Year Old You
02:20
|

It’s the new year you got your goals
You’re gonna make changes and take control
But in a couple weeks you’ll be falling behind
And statistics show it’s quitting time
Yup, everybody does it
They wait the whole year to make a change then give up it’s
So common that you could place a bet
All the reasons that they needed somehow they forget
Progress down the drain
This year’s gonna be about the bout the same
You had goals, but now you don’t
Three week’s gone by and you’ve given up hope
This year’s the year, it’s gonna be different
At least for a week until you quit again
I know you, you got busy
Just like last year before you started quitting
But this year, it’s different
You know like last year before quitting
It’s all the same stuff
Ra ra ra, then you gave up
Your goal’s slipping, as time lapses
You had plans, till life happened
You’re all about that hustle
But when nobody is looking you won’t lift a fucking muscle
I don’t really mean to judge
I’ve just been around I’ve seen too much
It’s always the same, so stupid
Starts with cliche quotes and ends with excuses
I can’t watch, it’s too painful
Your progress is like a dull knife trying to cut tomatoes
Call it quits, no take two
You’re so far behind Tony Robbins can’t save you
But this year’s gonna be different
At least for a week until you quit again
I know you, you got busy
Just like last year before you started quitting
But this year, it’s different
You know like last year before quitting
It’s all the same stuff
Ra ra ra, then you gave up

I got so much money
In my pockets, good and plenty
Going to get me some honeys
“No you’re not you’re just bluffing”
Dude, leave me alone
I’m trying to get busy on the microphone
“I know, but I’m keeping it real
And the truth doesn’t care about how you feel”
Whatever, just go away
I got to finish this song and call some babes
“Um, no you’re not
You’ll finish this song then call your mom”
OK, what’s it going to take
For you to leave me alone and get out my face?
“Leave you alone? No problem
I’ll take some of that cash in your pocket”
Alright, take two
I got so much money in my shoe
“In your shoe? Dude that’s gross”
Bro, I paid you to leave me a lone
“I know, but I’m keeping it real and…”
Blah blah blah truth and how you feel
Yeah we heard it before, we know how it ends
You’re going to tell me that I’m not getting some chics
“Well you’re not and you won’t”
Dude who are you is this some kind of joke?
You’re really getting me pissed
I’m the verge of making your face beat up my fist
“Umm…” Yeah be quiet
The adult is speaking I need me some silence
Are you hungry? “Sure I could eat”
Great one knuckled sandwich and delivery’s free

Fuck you and your limited beliefs
I won’t cater to the bullshit you believe
I won’t settle for lesser cause you’re feeling under pressure
It’s your problem don’t be making it about me
I’m on a path to be socially free
You can keep wearing the chains but that shit ain’t for me
I won’t be controlled by what I’ve been told
I’m gonna make my own way watch the story unfold
You followed all the steps, never made a wave
Were guaranteed success if you just did what they say
So you did but when you got to the end
You could feel something missing deep from within
You bought somebody else’s plan
Followed all their rules, obeyed all their commands
Now you’re feeling tricked and frustrated
But hey at least you’re normal, congratulations
It isn’t your fault
What were you supposed to do? That’s what you’re taught
But you don’t have to continue, living like that
You can make a change today and take your whole life back
You can, Buck the system but it won’t be easy
So many people bought in yes you’ll be mistreated
Ridicule, shame, loads of criticism
They don’t want you out of line get back in position
It’s all crabs in a bucket
If you reach for the top they’ll pull you back down from it
If you aim for the moon they’ll pray your rocket ship plummets
So your only real choice is to just say fuck it
Yeah, push your comfort zone
Challenge your beliefs are they even your own?
Go against the grain, break up the mold
Live your life on your terms, take the controls

Protect Your Garden
02:50
|

The noxious weeds and the busy bugs
Will attack your crops and tear the whole thing up
Defend your work, protect your time
Everyday stand guard at the door of your mind
All good will be attacked
At least on this planet that’s just a fact
Don’t press me for why, it wasn’t up to me
Every garden gets invaded no to think so is naive
So you must learn to defend it
Cause anything of value, must be defended
Family, friendship, social, business
Put knowledge into action turn it to wisdom
An ounce of prevention
Is worth a pound of cure and avoids a lot of fixing
At all costs you must protect your garden
Cause if not they will take everything you’ve started
The noxious weeds and the busy bugs
Will attack your crops and tear the whole thing up
Defend your work, protect your time
Everyday stand guard at the door of your mind
The noxious weeds and the busy bugs
Will attack your crops and tear the whole thing up
Defend your work, protect your time
Everyday stand guard at the door of your mind
Get smart, don’t be dumb
You can also be a weed, and you can be a bug
Messing up the good that you’ve done for yourself
Do some mental house cleaning to correct your health
Life is both strychnine and sugar
Your mind is the coffee so watch what you put in
The sugar doesn’t matter that much
Even if your enemy drops in a bunch
But if your best friend even by accident
Drops in the strychnine there’s no coming back from it
You’re a dead man walking
So always remember to watch your coffee
The noxious weeds and the busy bugs
Will attack your crops and tear the whole thing up
Defend your work, protect your time
Everyday stand guard at the door of your mind
The noxious weeds and the busy bugs
Will attack your crops and tear the whole thing up
Defend your work, protect your time
Everyday stand guard at the door of your mind

I swim thru emcees on this rhyming shit
I’m a shark boy, you’re a pilot fish
You can catch me on a pirate ship
Looking for a hook that I could flip
I hear a lot of talking fake
Flashing their bounty like they robbed a bank
It’s all lies we know it’s not the case
These peg leg rappers need to walk the plank
God damn, what the fuck
They won’t sink like a rubber duck
They won’t drown, a sad fact
They’re so full of shit they float their happy ass back
I sound bitter but I promise it’s fun
It’s like yo ho ho and a bottle of dumb
Too many mean things best not to say
So I load them in a canon and bombs away
Now holy Moses hold your horses I ain’t fucking with no bull or horse-shit
Femi Deacon special forces better call for reinforcements
Got a plan, you best abort it call in sick or better forfeit
Say corona got you coughing or wind up in a fucking coffin
Ring around the rosy corona’s bound to get us all killed
Battle me and win kid that’s nothing but a tall tale
A million suckers tried and they died yeah they all failed
Buck sent the beat and I ain’t creeping on no egg shells
These rappers out got no skills I’m so ill with no chill
They bite rhymes from ghost reels and steal cuts like oat meal
I got bars in wholesale like Costco but I don’t sell
Out if the price is right then grab on to my coat tails
I elevate and propel I’ve never taken no L
That’s a double negative maaaaan, yeah bitch but oh well
I’m two shakes of a lambs tail from fucking on a bombshell
I don't eat ass but i'll beat her box like Rahzel

Same shit different toilet, how original
I grabbed a socket launcher and shot a mistletoe
Bike shed effect, turn the heat up
No one asked your opinion, we ordered a pizza
Everybody needs to chime in
Go throw a fucking frisbee, leave me alone in silence
I don’t care about your contribution
You’re giving me brain smog with your thought pollution
So shut the fuck up I don’t want to hear it
You don’t need to respond just because you’re near it
I know, you know, you’re informed
You’re the smartest person in the room, indoors
Go away to a place of danger
Your unsolicited advice isn’t doing me a favor
Nobody cares and nobody asked
You’re like a marathon of jokes just a running gag
Feeling livid as fuck
Slowly processing this adrenaline rush
When is it enough?
Didn’t you get what you wanted?
I’ve concluded this is stupid pick a different topic
Or shut your mouth in half
Don’t give me more directions till you’ve found a map
Nothing is funny, I’m all out of laughs
It’s a hairy situation with no shower cap
Cooking up thoughts trying to make believe
And when I shoot my load yes I aim to please
Absent minded, what’d you take a leave?
I’d slit my wrist but I don’t want to stain the sheets
American problems what a luxury
On a horse with no name spreading fuckery
What’s the cost of liberation cause nothing’s free?
No more food for thought I’ve had e-fucking-nough to eat

What do you do when the shit hits the fan and the TP’s all gone?
I guess you say fuck it, pull out a pen and start writing a song
I’ve been doing this a while, 26.21 miles
Life never ceases to put you on trial so when death blows a kiss I just wink back and smile
What else would I do? I just look this way I’m not confused
You think it’s a mystery go get a clue, Nature laughs last joke is on you
And the earth keeps spinning, it is a dirt clod floating infinite
You are a skin bag beholden to physics, there is no time-out the clock keeps on ticking
Till the buzzer sounds, take it for real man stop fucking around
But don’t take it too seriously cause nobody gets out alive we ain’t making it out
And I could complain, but what would that do? Nothing would change
I’m just so grateful for all of the way cool shit that has happened to me up to this day
I love my parents, especially my mom and dad
My sister is cool too and my friends yeah all of them are tight as fuck AF
No more wondering now, I am certain I have nothing but doubt
Life is a circus, I’m just a clown, they call me a smart ass for dumbing it down
Whatever, run away from the pain I’m headed towards pleasure
That is my aim I won’t settle for lesser unless of course it’s sitting in the top dresser
I’m an info junkie what’s the 411 I’m becoming aroused
Straight A student, thirsty for knowledge I told the professor to come in my mouth
Yeah I said what I meant, we exist by geologic consent
Subject to change without notice if Mother Nature is a b—
Wait, why don’t you say it? Is this some stupid superstitious shit?
If I could manipulate the world with my words I would have a lot more money and a much bigger dick
Ain’t that the truth, abracadabra magic poof
Eh nothing happened, wait what happened to it? Oh there he is yeah that’s my dude
But I don’t complain, even if I could what would I say?
It’s been amazing up to this day it’s a wonderful life I just want to say thanks
