I said I miss ya x2 I really wanna kiss ya but I… can’t lotus and diet gas for the angst in my current position it’s better to sit and wait cuz my current financial condition feel like prank crying to the bank only go on dates in the house could you keep a dime piece just chablis on the couch season about to switch its bouta heat up she wanna vibe round some niggas wit the green stuff and justified in her preference if it be love that’ll be the icing on the cake
If it’s really to keep her then you get her cuz I’d rather die than look like the dreamer till I reconcile both sides I’ll just play the dreamer down to mars girls vacation picture wit the feet up and they love it when you talk that cash watching yo aura glow seen you pull up wit bad bitches from my side of the fence it look like the average got these niggas eating out the palm of yo hand quick shuffling they feet they wanna know where they stand wit ya feel like the man nigga watching you glam flick up shut down the gram picture you telling me I was that nigga that’s that sucka shit people loathe shit you hate about yourself be what they love you for the most watching everybody shine while they love you for yo glow

I been looked at sideways looked down on and looked over what you mean still and all I never felt seen maybe if they put me in ya magazine that could stir you from ya dreams don’t need more proof that I can’t love me for you I loosely used to be Jody joe on the stoop East side looser mentality wanted shit just to fall in my lap just cuz I’m god with the rap I seen it happen like that for so and so I boy if you a hater just say that NEED wishing you can be where they at LOVE pouting like a meme in the corner they don’t even know we bouta take this bitch over need someone to tell me how I feel this ain’t real this ain’t how it’s pose to go sad to tell you that I broke the deal and it killing me killing me slow spin me round i land inside some tail you can tell i dont wanna be alone just a apparition in the shell ego frail temple banging like dem locs
Breaking in the morning breaking in the evening who knew I would make it this long waking in the morning make it sound easy struggling embracing my flaws these are the days of my life I’m waiting on the sun by the lakeshore these are the days of my life you know I keep breaking in the morning breaking in the evening waking in the morning make it sound easy
Middle child syndrome feeling that was lesser known similar to my status back at home like they steppin on me ain’t no stepping stones they was skipping stones across the lake in real time like the metronome let the record show here to let you know for what it worth that I’m not mad at you no more although there was a time I was waving at the blind tryna captivate the mind they was sedated yelling nah ain’t shit pumping over here ask ya mama in ya ear and out the other side don’t bother pay that boy no mind but I’m a prodigy this ain’t how you love how could you lie to me used to leave me hanging like apostrophes now I’m in my bag so niggas Prada me who knew chasing love could turn to jealousy in could be the best at everything ima just bettering me for me

hit a point where the air so thin in the sky niggas can’t breathe ima bathe in the light I done made few tweaks that you can’t see treat a win like a loss beating off my demons nigga pause hate to be lost in the cause lost in the sweet baby rusty 380 shoot or keep aiming score or be traded that’s the equation fading my flame i make a wish baby ex a bitch out forever erase em sip my tea peaceful ketamine state we blessed to ages over 18 1 8th of propane 1 5th of that drank the wisdom I crave could never be wasted ancestral vibe the recipe ancient Rest In Peace I the rest of me vacant ego must die the soul came off of the bench bet you grow by talking to him broken soul like a orphan lead in my thoughts wit gold that I’m fostering in soft when he spoke and a cuddle won’t kill him but it’s best that you know that he far from a bitch
I been tryna go mansa musa had a solo cup for my change jar bite the bullet like Daffy Duck when the game was crooked I was playing ball apocalyptic when the profit mention I’ll bomb the building won’t save y’all I’ll take it farther than Moses over dose boy prognosis my trademark I’m brave heart that slave talk don’t resonate best to let it fall like a feather innocence killer when it penetrate let it settle in bet you end up dead from the neck up when it detonate real path like scribble scrabble chicken scratch had to set the record straight count the seconds till we elevate prosthetic feelings I should medicate might hit the ceiling when I feel enraged my vision bigger didn’t fit the cage hit the vibe with venom I resuscitate should I get the blicky or go light the sage like mile a minute mental on usain nigga mind sprinting I’m in better shape I could spit a inch and prolly hit insane
18 the hard way triple six eight nine what would god say keep a dick to yo mind fuck what y’all think you was acting like a bitch out in broad day x2
Saying to much and not saying enough is the same to me told me to manifest they don’t wanna live in no fantasy I kept it 1 from the dribble so how is you mad at me shit ain’t no movie but niggas been acting like family I hate to tell you but I never been in no love boy I’m the hills trying not to look like a mud boy doing the most feel like it’s never enough back on the bus humble as fuck not cuz I wanna be shit is a must sucker for love sucker for hope seconds from ending up back on the dope back in the trenches and going for broke passion unlimited matching my energy imagine them finishing Kipp at the store can’t even walk down 10 9 I’m taking the long way to the crib shouldn’t have sold my baby 9 fuck
18 the hard way triple six eight nine what would god say keep a dick to yo mind fuck what y’all think you was acting like a bitch out in broad day x2

Started with a question I ain’t have a answer to while busy ducking padded rooms and looking back so much ain’t see the wall he bouta slam into not used to doin what he want just doin what he got to do not the best looker not the most bright not the toughest nigga but he will fight not the best shot but the single best rapper you ever heard in yo... man I put that on my life I’d rather medicate wit a flask 10 days in confinement stepped out smell the rain through the mask petrichor life is funny sometimes I forget to laugh mi amour do you love me sometimes I forget to ask
I could find the beauty wherever you hide it my biggest problem is that I don’t know my fuckin problem toe the line between living and survival dying and revival it’s levels to this shit and both sides getting fried crossing up the wires like fifteens in the trunk walls shaking in my mind baby I’m going on a airplane and I don’t know when I’ll be back again sure enough I bought the plane ticket them thoughts became skittish them thoughts became vivid them them thoughts became physical haunting me all my days like yesterday in November disguising the pain nigga it pour when it rain 6 month winter became torture horizon in Hollywood was gorgeous wooden porches burglar bar doors enforcers in the drawer with just enough ammo to send a warning get em off ya how the hell you get culture shock at a fat burger ghetto shit act rich ima fast learner back swerving that toy car my bought pull a thot boink twice then you boycott need a bitch to nazi me for my Deutschmark2 boy stop I need the foyer wit the koi pond

Operating off this unspoken code of respect when it’s broken I just implode and grow colder chose to neglect what the motive behind yo negligence told me what I expect is the golden rule if my boundary was bald and openly set I would I hope I could be more vocal emotional more in check when you notice a shift in tone or my woeful sulking expression I cloak in when trust is broken it won’t ever be reset I just ghost you and save the show as a token of my respect I just protect my peace toxic as them niggas weaponize it for solace oh no they not like me know you not gone miss me for too long I’m being honest if I could speak my piece flight is more my speed oh my god I’m just a coward if I could speak freely flight is more my speed oh my god I might be a… fuck that
Selfish muh fucka don’t deserve my energy how you make my affinity liability can’t see the force behind yo words and how they get to me I envy all of you niggas wish I could literally not give a single fuck when you kin to me what you think of me that shit ain’t human that shit is ruthless easy like E nem the crazy part you clueless crazy you can’t see beyond yo nostrils roses smell like if you don’t give a damn then I don’t give a fuck known to hold a nigga down never need no pick me up just projecting how you feel and fuck whoever soak it up the hyper vigilant cynic the self inflicted resentment wit no direction my sickness ain’t that of kindred it’s not yo responsibility to tip around my feelings I mentioned before my conflict conflicted by all the stillness
I’m not tryna play the victim the pen and sword is apple to orange that’s why it’s best to just get to the point
Words fail me I’m feeling empty I need a change the worst feeling is feeling like it ain’t shit to say blank face like daddy still ain’t no give away same reaction if im happy or I feel a way concealing pain got shit to do not the healthiest method but I’m conditioned to sacrificing my needs my love is too unconditional at least that help me justify it giving what you don’t have you no use to nobody least of all yourself I had the purest intentions I just need someone to listen that’s sufficient I’m sensitive to changes in energy I can feel it shift my temperament like water but ain’t no spilling this wisdom unless you willing to really sip from the well I chip away self I really need to rebuild
it feel in vane like mainlining pure cane we some pain junkies self check till I can’t function tipping point nothing really hurts nothing really hurts anymore same shit new 24 hope you pulling for em tug of war with faith in the lord but I got some bullet points when action don’t match words it’s really just null in void how you quiet and honest that don’t make Christian sense intent was solely based on sentiment like where my therapists at that ain’t no shoutout that’s a inquiry to put it simply suffered mentally spiritually ima mix between cowardly and courageous scared to live but brave enough to wake up everyday it’s just the dog in me log in the creek tryna stay afloat calling me I rock the cape so I don’t gotta cope strong as he be tryna act he just a teddy bear listen how he talk about his self the proof is ever clear ponder how you feelin and try to make the connection here
You know I ride for you
Lay down and die for you
Take a life for you I gotta know
who could love you like I love you

Ambigram Theory

From my bed water bottle from two days ago to the head type of day when even yo mama get left on read deer caught in the headlights practically half dead I tend to spiral when I’m left on idle fight or flight mode got niggas feeling right at home fast food bags same show you on repeat just a bid for control we battle uncertainty the shadow work you don’t see when you challenge yo own I stayed present gave presents pour my soul over beats twice upon a time there was a boy who cried suicide silly me believing that yo problem wasn’t mine
I go back and forth with you you’re like my best friend you’re like my best friend I wanna kill you sometimes I’m at my wits end you’re not my best friend
And god forbid you let me just be happy for once some peace of mind might just be asking too much suppressing feelings of joy for yo comfort like I’m protecting you from something might just water down my smile to hide elation in my face because I hate to feel you judging when I laugh a little louder put a cap happiness maybe thatll keep you grounded imagine me surrounded drowning me in love can’t even enjoy the moment too afraid to show it tok shook that you might notice what could be yo motive how do I stay motivated keeping me below my greatness not to revisit this whole bipolar thing but when you hear it back enough you start to notice things looking over ya shoulder blades how long you been alone today 4 foot mirror by the bed laying upside down the reflection was giving dread so every smile is a frown from yo perspective how you wanna see fix yo face get up and show some love you know that part is free looking in this glass tryna see the shit you wanna see gone be the death of you which in a sense could be the death of me when you spell it out it’s elementary the shape of we the shape of me this the AMBIGRAM theory blank canvas in a quiet room door locked I tend the most in solitude
I go back and forth with you you’re like my best friend you’re like my best friend I wanna kill you sometimes I’m at my wits end you’re not my best friend

And if a man thinketh so shall it be or something like that my mental did a number on me cuz I had doubts like pitchers had outs I was getting more bounce to the mothafucking ounce it was pivotal alchemy was bitter sweet like sour dies and swisher sweet I’ll turn a blessing to a lesson elementary I was thinking loser chasing legend nigga silly me money with that broke nigga energy really don’t mix need chemistry thoughts becoming things lotta niggas think they heating up till the summer came bumming change cooking up a change from the look of thangs money may beating down the block in that bucket aye momma sent me to the store play them triple fours for the minute I was born aye she hit that hoe for 400 maybe I was chose maybe it was coincidental told you I’d be nothing you can’t hear em in that rove honey
Who you think you are shine your light on me please don’t shine to hard dim your light for me prison in my mind let myself go free don’t gotta look too far know what’s right for me
Not no underdog cuz I never been a bitch pride came before the fall invitation to my dick tryna loop me in wit y’all but I’m from a different ilk cut me from different clothe tell them niggas where you from back street where we learned to throw them hoes like poker chips track meet clapping at the ops the party over wit that’s me turning my crumbs into a loaf huh paid dues with nickels inside the sofa i left a piece of my mind in California I want my piece of the pie and my begonias I had a dream I was high in Patagonia and it was no more cheese and bologna mind morphing time to mine gold creep slow wit a blindfold never know what it’s gone be but the way I think about it entirely on me said the way I think about it entirely on me
Who you think you are shine your light on me please don’t shine to hard dim your light for me prison in my mind let myself go free don’t gotta look too far know what’s right for me
I just wanna breathe like you I just want a life in the sun I just wanna live my life

The Sun is Medicine

I know the sun is medicine but the sun play favorites sometimes and that’s why I’m taking to you
Reporting to you live from the dark side dark side of the moon
I know the love ephemeral but I beg the question though would it kill you to tell me the truth
This thing of ours oh this thing of ours I might just stick around and see it through
Where did all the love go take me some place no one knows pray you find the answe round and round and round we go
I sprint the distance unknown i came from slips on my doors I can’t do shit but write songs get blazed and listen to the funk that shit inside my double helix lack of reason I been fiending for the green a switch of scenery indeed I had I dream I seen a group of people fallin out the sky looked up the meaning as to why thought that would ease a Nigga mind some would say my standards way to high I command the expectation meet reality sometimes I want the el Camino the rarest Pinot the baddest chica since a Chico the dream just never matched the hustle standing still in this bitch living against my peeling my feelings back behind the tint I see you from believe the sun is medicine light that heal me from the vibe that tried to kill me once survival like a mill and find the time to fill my lungs with life revive the guild that won my time was bouta fill my cup with cyanide to feel for once
Where did all the love go take me some place no one knows pray you find the answe round and round and round we go
What the sea include bound to hit the shore wrote this shit in blue my intentions pure where do people end where do I begin zone that I been in for me questioning if I lay here if I just lay here would you lay with me for a little while I was wondering if it’s green on both sides like some places I know green on the inside like this leaf that I smoke peace in my heart what I think and my soul free gotta price tag on it too steep gotta dig deep need a lil piece I can’t live my life and never know long as shit was cool inside my comfort zone why am I running back to what I know even when it hurt inside junky for habitual pattern of a psychopath how you feel and what you do always sing a different tune who am I to listen to

Way too close to the ground x3 punching 120 on the 405 I said I ain’t never been to the hills I ain’t felt this free in all my life I said way too close the ground punching 120 on the 405 I said I ain’t never been to the hills I ain’t felt this free in all my life I don’t need nothing between me and the stars x5
L’s clean now I’m just speeding Vanderhall I ain’t seen nothing but fiends and pissy halls views that you wouldn’t believe until you saw cool it’s a everyday thing to some of y’all see it everyday of the week it’s Taj mahall to me at least tasted the breeze I’m still in awe happy with a peek but I need to see some more
breathe I just wanna breathe like you and if being stunted in taught me anything never trust ya feels I’ll be right back with the cream in the Vanderhall acting uncouth waving dollar dollar bills life is like a dream till you wake up on the blvd tryna break through city at a stand still got the same feeling from the ride niggas way too close to the ground
Way too close to the ground punching 120 on the 405 I said I ain’t never been to the hills I ain’t felt this free in all my life I said way too close the ground punching 120 on the 405 I said I ain’t never been to the hills I ain’t felt this free in all my life I don’t need nothing between me and the stars x4
It was high vibrational with the sun beaming sunset strip and I had the blunt steaming dont do drugs aw you shoulda seen me love my hood but I really love leaving left that party and had a funny feeling I was fighting back tears before my brothers seen me I watched the sun go down and I had an upheaval I paint with broad strokes now only got one easel
Way too close to the ground punching 120 on the 405 I said I ain’t never been to the hills I ain’t felt this free in all my life I said way too close the ground punching 120 on the 405 I said I ain’t never been to the hills I ain’t felt this free in all my life I don’t need nothing between me and the stars x4

Loaded pole in my dresser tonight is the night I work up the courage to get it over wit and like most niggas that pull the plug I’m really just being selfish I’m really just being negligent cuz who would miss me it’s not a cry for attention it’s different this loaded question or notion that something missing was haunting me on the daily talking to niggas crazy darker vision I’m jaded harbor feelings of hatred like hurricane in confinement I’m boxing my demons daily I parted ways with that baby on Farmington long time ago product of silent nights not present just ruminating bout shit that I wanna change at adjusted rates from comparisons made on assumption basis the grass is greener on the other side all I get is red and blue tryna coincide
Balance was the end game case studies wit buddies gauging maneuvers like babies taking they first step wondering if I’m insane could never say if you love me or taking from me the wound was still fresh from the first time I dove head first into it a crazy concept to reverse it even more illusive I’m breathing different now I’m kicking habits and giving back what I’m taking in lately I been impatient them feelings resurface my first instinct is to isolate but you taught me to never fake a smile and what I can’t allow where do people end where do I begin all my feelings need permission to exist told me I’m only good for the one on one conversation my problem was gravitation I felt like some type of alien pacing the corridors of my brain in aggravation like what is it on my face and what the fuck am I saying that’s driving people away I mastered communication my outfit is up to date I look and I smell amazing I’m craving that warm embrace but people think I’m too famous am I the stone that’s calling the ash grey cuz there’s a man overseas and heard me sing said he used to feel deserted now he don’t cuz of me and it’s worth it even if it’s just one person I could reach fuck a sermon fuck the preacher fuck the surface take it deeper we can search and we can reach and find the purpose and the meaning I confirm a lot of things when I turn inside I learn a lot certain time to breathe I was searching for that surge and it was right in front of me call it serendipity
cuz if beauty on yo mind what you work so hard to find would you know it when you see it was it beauty in climb if you can answer that wit no regret no matter where you at you might be livin right and realize it looking back if not you might be lost or broke a promise to yourself often that problem come wit livin through someone else
