Verse One A constant spacing Mind be lost in constellations No, No I'm not complacent But I can't change no I can't change It hard to place it Live my life through observation Lack shades of gray from separate spaces But I can't blame no I can't blame Trying to borrow just like piece of mind I got to wait my turn just for a piece of mine Feel the beast inside tell him please recline Won't feed your seeds they see a ruthless vine They gone grow up anyway bearing fruits from the struggle Busted through the glass ceilings of the real world Look here girl got bruises but I made it through the tussle Lot to juggle but I come out looking shiny like a fresh pearl What a whirlwind we just tailspin Trying to find a meaning No appeasing we just shifting seasons I done said it before but it bare repeating Preacher said Jesus tried to push them from a religion Take a peep around the crowd and they looking at him different A metaphor that I've always felt up in my spirit At the speed we all moving ain't no wonder that we miss it Got damn Hook God’s Simulation God’s stimulation Just open up your mind Bet you can’t out run the law (3X) Bet you can’t out run the lord (3X) So tell me why you running now? Verse Two Peanuts to an elephant We looking like ants to the almighty hand It moves then we swaying Then again we were built from the particles of power Feel it coursing through my veins getting stronger by the hour (X2) Babbling a verse in front of man-made towers I will never cower I'm no coward But I'm scared too lacking clear proof Everything look smooth from the rearview Don't want to miss the train move how the world do That’s why they say foresight is a rare view So rare too put yourself in another's shoes Spin the world in its axis think we going backwards Hope we not a practice to be extracted Pull us through black hole Put a 2.0 beside my soul, Guess in time we'll know I thing I know, they'll never stop my flow My time to go, may I live through notes But there’s got to be something else (x2) Can't keep just living I need health Can't keep just grinding I need wealth Can't just keep smiling I need help Wading in the water then the tide came Structure washed away but the love stayed Know it's hard on this road please take care of ya self Unplugging for a minute always clocking my moves, I should be watching my steps Before nothing is left (2X)

Verse One So radical to want to to be free Guess I knew that that could be dangerous Can't hang with us removing nooses Bear my soul I‘ma spiritual nudist Lost the flow in choppy life movement Devil at my soul the percent switch for Spirits dead wrong so that spirits done flown Got to get it back quick fore it gets too far gone What you are about to, to witness is Transformation current state is Get some status stack your paper Change your placement, don't get famous You know the stakes is way too high Just want you to feel what I feel Peep the world from my brown eyes Now I'm back again in the same spot why, why Times like this we look at skies All I see is clouds why do you hide Is it in my mind, could it be that pride We gone see in time Right now I'm just trying to contemplate Hopping on a plane with my dame and my daughter Or pack it all up in a suitcase burn rubber all the way to the border Screaming sanctuary, sanctuary America is getting scary Want baby girl to be carefree Don't want her to see what I've seen Hook I cannot jump the shark that's word to Fonzi Black Fish Make The Pond Gray We all just out here scheming the world is Ponzi Black Fish Make The Pond Gray Just try to amplify all that they downplay Black Fish Make The Pond Gray And If I make that splash when I take that leap of faith Black Fish Make The Pond Gray Verse Two Suppose to have a stamp on my passport never took the trip One of life's loop when it splits at seams gone feel the riff Now I'm in my brain trying to find the riff that's gone match that pain Bet that love the shit Black man cry get a standing O Add some whips and chains get an Oscar nod Need more Plies less Algernod Frame your truth with an ill facade Hold on man let me get at God Need ordered steps can't see that far I'm under strokes you see at par Exceptional but not equal I need this shine for my people Rarely see just what the sun look like That why I craft all my vision in the moonlight Can't get it but I'm steady trying to do right Maybe this wasn't meant for me To like the tenth degree losing my patience Starting to get Flagrant Smell it on me like a fragrance Feel it all in my cadence Sprinkle this truth with water from fountain of youth Man Hope it never ages Electronic pages 3-D tears Heightened definition To all my fears And I could never shake them Through all these years Bridge We be floating away we be floating away Got me upstream fighting against the current Don't go taking my love away We be floating away we be floating away Washing up on shore need a new wave to bring me back where it safe (We Floating away)

Verse One How much longer in this experiment Burned at the stake by a heretic Flames to the body won't melt the soul Understate my role but embellish when I'm never not the whole Can't speak on things that you will never know Yet we got jobs were we improv Fortified facades can't free no souls Better read them signs in a complex road Hit a country curve rolling man I don't condone Flex a little muscle like we got control Only maestro when we in PS4 And they say that make us violent Like hitting GTA make a wild man Like Call of Duty got them on the Internet Cooking up a manifest rapping the confederate At least try to move me Put the wool on my eyes try to fool me News channel, TV, forming up a movie Split sides then ask why Livestream from the scene tune in prime time Sleeper cells full of hell can’t creep in the mind By design like a mine just to blow away divine Won't bow to the fear of it Through my shield can't feel the shit Never had a real urge just to peel the clip Turn a shirt to a makeshift tourniquet Hit a lick real quick then peel in the whip Recipient of welfare never there Never took the government for a red cent But to me it's no surprise when they look into my eyes man they still see a nigga Hook Ducking while they busting not for nothing wonder why (4X) Let me tell you, Let me tell you what’s on your mind (2X) Verse Two The password is scratch out Tattooed on my tongue so I lash out The stash out I mash out replenish my spirit Ideas got the rock and we picking and rolling No one can control is conform to no image Explicit specifics just held by a visage You talk a good game now how bout you go live it My brother I'm livid Just said to my wife that it's ok they won't kill a brother at night Execute him in broad day I sit back and watch it all play out Gun owner walking round with the K out Hey now brother what you doing walking round like that Two shots blap blap should have had the orange cap No slack hit him fast got to put him on his back Bout to bust at the seams I can feel it start to crack I'm under attack (2x) Feel the weight of that they won't understand Too jaded from the words of the telly man Preacher say when the world ending And the sky fall down for the worlds sinning Bow down to ya knees for repentance But it's too late now back to the mothership for ascension

January 20th the year 2017 Grab your history book wipe the grime off from the mezzanine Neglected while we rejected circles of life Crop dusted I set fire to flowers hope it ease my strife Ok so now you gonna acknowledge it For 60 years they tried to polish it Bouncing thoughts against a wall EVERYTIME I talk of it You can't control me I'm no Malkovich You think a social alchemist I'm not convinced i know it's much more sinister We tried to fucking tell you, wasn't kidding you Wish I had the privilege of laughing at these idiots Try to pivot they grab at my spirit and now I'm livid I'm trying break out this image Young black and angry to be specific Worried about appearance so American it’s in my spirit My mind to you is protest You treat it with contempt Juxtapose my love and experience with your ignorance Trying to push all my sentences past the period Them good ole days wasn't my period Can’t believe you mean that shit with sincerity Rehashing a failed history Where’s your clarity? Can't believe you mean that shit with sincerity Didn’t fail I see your misery Now where's your clarity?

Verse One If you wasn't in the train its Namaste Though you cannot comment on the wind and how it sways I be that new age a fusion in them cool days and heat waves They cannot catch him watch them storm chase I change pace and make them break Watch them try to change pace I'm living like my last days is everyday You not know when that earthly vessel will fade away I hope you peep this my people I got a lot to say Order my steps and get it straight Smoking butts of a loosely outta my ashtray Been trying to make a way when they said if get no play Them brothers light on your stomach just like some Yoplait Olay all them young bulls see red they increase pace Couldn't say I never loved the clouds Sitting on some puffy hope while I'm puffing smoke But I'm focused watch me hit them with the rope a dope Pen a scroll like disciples when they spoke of Holy Ghost and I coast go Verse Two Welcome to the mind of a misfit Steady rise of a sunshine when in heating up like Bisquick My money's on the mystic Don't get caught up in logistic I'm neither here nor there but I show up consistent You should be mad if you missed it I sprinkle game like I'm misting Oil to a piston such a refreshing feeling Now I stalking through my city trying to drop off all this healing Spin the wheel out while I'm whipping Bending corners hope I don't see coppers roll up Them flashing lights give the wrong shine I need mine to reflect back from the top of the brow mirror me getting down Turn my mic to the crowd scream can you hear me now Two beeps from a horn scream reality Stagnant at a green light a left turn be my strategy Slow cruising to maneuver through a forest full of fallacy I'm racing with myself if I leave you please don't be mad at me

This for the playas hope you fall in love with layups Crunchied all the munchies still keep it crispy just like a lays chip I'm on a crazed tip I ravage all the walking dead Sharp objects to the necks of them talking heads I could flex but Id rather keep it low instead Could say I'm bummy while I hold a couple loafs of bread I’m just trying to feed my family insanity right You got to shine bright before you step off in that light Hot box for incubation thinking good lord It’s so fuck up in the nation still we living though The way im winning I could never Scottie Pippen Second fiddle to the skys only Pray they mold to move like the universe do Now give me space let me orchestrate At steady pace I calculate the moves I know you hate me probably wish that you could skate me But that's a slippy slope joe wont get no hope yo Verse Two This what they wanted from a brother should have let me know Prepare them for they burial regardless of scenario Hit the stage and let it go those camera flashes moving slow I welcome you in my zone I call it home Though it move quite often because I like to roam Trying to swing by Paris and then I'm straight to Rome Shake a hater at customs he wasn't acting right I could get accustomed to living in different lights Trading health for inspiration that's the price I'm paying You say my mental’s spacey is that a bad thing It’s my goal to grip the nation why should I be racing You mothefuckers always talking bout this time thing Metaphorical pistol straight to my mindframe Like you better blow or Ima blow your brains You could say I'm so insane and may I agree with you Ahead of what is feasible I'm making you believe in dude

Verse One My motto these days I'm screaming you should just let me live I'm over 25 black and they never done me in I know I speak it like it’s some sort of accomplishment Buffer to a tarnished image hard not to feel shiny then It goes deep you need a periscope Dealing with that submarine Columbus never gave me hope it didn't float Got a fear Ill be too honest labeled abrasive and brolic But really I'm calm and polished shine like shrine in Abu Dhabi Don't assimilate could never copy Siphon earth's energy so you can keep your soul papi I’ll admit that I'm swaying maintained my angle Beeline for the fried chicken I'm hungry fuck all them labels Fueled my stomach lit a cig got my engines back to stable Hung ten I get it in swag surfing round a table I'm on a wave by myself you can join in Hope you still feel that vibe in the morning Hook Could lose ya life for a slice of the pie Middle finger to the world with my mind on the sky Wading through these waters fore that well run dry. Everybody on the grind we just learning on the fly Verse Two Try to knock me from the totem Suck my scrotum as it dangle round your forehead Jordan branded flow you kicking Prokeds Maneuver like a nomad from Spokane What are riches to a wealthy lad A rarity I never had Im focused on the money Got to get them dollars Through adding zeros and commas hope I never lose my honor You know I do it so proper Kill them in hoodies pajamas tube socks and vans Flip flops if it’s hotter Don't need appearance just to get me clearance Don't want to catch the eye I hit the spirit where you can feel it Outlast the clash of when mass appealing smacks against a ceiling of feeling Don't wanna lose touch Im thinking too much Take it off the top the flow is crew cut All you gotta tell me is the where aint concerns with the who what I'm too tough like pleather to leather well see with weather just whether or not you measure up Bridge Fuck your daps and your pounds I'll just frown at that handshake Don't shoot your shot then you'll have to go live your life down were regret stays Based on consumption I've sipped quite enough I should be drunk on paper I've used quite enough of my soul my woe I'm tired of smiling at haters Verse Three I grab me a paper I line with tobacco I roll it then shake it All the excess it float in the wind Then it head to non-ocular spaces I'm caught in a matrix created, ordain in my mental recesses How long do you think that these people going to want to come just hear about your stresses? But change up the aim you could fuck up the spirit I've seen just live to match up with lyrics That energy wrong and that part of me gone I'm ok with standing out even if that means that I'll have to stand alone

Verse One Incognito but I pull magneto Crispy like a fresh off the rack Tostitos This life like a clutch time free throw Look easy until you step to the line and see the people Small vision you a peephole I'm full screen on Vevo We all lost no Nemo Mo bass for the speakers here's the keynote Not the best angle don't you gamble no keno with meh Daydream tell my mind you can go float away But please stay close to the ground as you cruising Can’t lose you well at least not today Just a peon from eons ways And that weight can be great plus they tell us that we cannot escape We cannot escape, I reject that fate Just an underground brother turning up for his freedom Could be hard to understand it you ain't never had to be him I'm just trying break the chains I don't want a baby Moma Or I'm looking at an equal but I'm calling him your honor Sprinkle jewels like the sweat beads forming from a sauna Earned stripes through my life I'ma do it how I want to Everything ain't smooth Ride until the road dent the rims Man We just got to keep our cool Gone cut right through with the change in the wind Took so many L's so you know we due a win And all you really need is one time They just talking like they lived it all Always said I want that sunshine Right now I'm sipping dark so I shrug it off Acrobatics is average Tumble while I Ariel 12 feet above the place i made for your burial Metaphorically speaking shooting if you reaching Always catch a lot of noise when they speaking See them in the streets all onomatopoeia Boom bap pop bang bang We all want the same thing Never tell me how to drive I can find my own lane It ain't fair though I'm just playing with the cheat codes Got the thing sowed up switched to beast mode Sometimes I feel like it's me against the field dog So by default fuck how you feel dog Might catch up with you brothers on the back end Leave my windows cracked got to let that life in Blowing smoke rings only for the stressing Damn homie you done overlooked your blessings Purposely lost don't try to retrieve me G I'm hitting my stride oh man it's a site to see They never could tell me little homie this ain't your scene They yelling and yelling and yelling it's make believe (2X) Hook A couple a days Think I'm running away In a couple of days A couple of days I just need me some shade For a couple of days A couple of days Let my mind get away Just a couple of days A couple of days (2X) I Need me (2x) a couple days (4X)

Cut My Wings 04:40
Tell me that I’m caught up in a great light Trying to figure if I’m dancing with a great white That's two pronged trying to look at two sides Who’s wrong never mind cause it got me thinking suicide Never mind lime cause it shifts always looking towards the newest shine Cold gleam from the eyes of the bluest Five deep from the depths of the bottom they do it Best in the game don't you ever construe it Take your time homeboy go on stew with it Veggies and meat to reach your peak Broth for the flavor make them savor you and then they saving you Leftovers hitting on the second day now they feel what you say Rise slow to the top similar to soufflé Got an ocean full of flow water boy Boucher Put that flame on the top like a creme broule Mad work in this game I’m a lifer Still spell my name wrong when I’m on the flyer Hunger for these games now I’m about to catch fire Etch it in they brains got to rework the wires Tip toeing on the tightest of them You can hate it but it’s better loving Match a sweet while you candy crushing No discussion just thoughts then my mind fill with art no noise Caught a vibe had to let it rode out for a ticking Finest on the vine yeah I’m ripe for the picking Bend space and time it’s mine can I kick it Baseline so fine had to spin off the pivot Folks build that hole dig a ditch from a divot You can bury yourself you way ahead of yourself I’ma glide through these clouds like it’s good for my health Hook See me on the scene Lean some mean Riding all alone trying to put my mind at ease Don’t you cut my wings Verse Two Man I’m feeling like I’m tripping hope this rut it get lifted real soon, real soon Been a while since I took a little trip up to the moon Put the fuel in the rocket I’ll be there before noon I just need to find a place where its spacious my mind when from pacing to racing its fixing to go boom Take a few steps back 50 feet give me room then I zoom, gone Real world trying to stick it to the kid got a brother rethinking how I live Am I good enough? Am I sitting on the shore watching ships sail by wave my hand hoping that they pick me up? Thinking maybe I should throw away my dreams They really what they seem? That thought got me blue while I’m rolling up the green Sparked it inhaled, exhale new scene Verse Three I stay super-duper fresh once I bust a funky rhyme Slicker than slime I do it all the time Too cold when I float come and watch a brother climb Never take a break if I did you could watch me levitate David Blaine Metaphysic, meditation, manifesting moves made Keep your cup, cuz I aint fucking with that kool aid Rides on the wave of the fugaze Don't disturb my peaceful soul Live by the mantra to each his own Just throwing love off hope it boomerang Do my thing, your the reason why like I'm hoobastank who to thank Trying to fathom down to the atom Where does it go when the brains splatter? Do it follow a similar pattern zooming through space fast as I can chitter chatter? it don't matter Fuck a plug Im the chord the conduit Five steps from salvation leave your money at the pulpit Found right around the wave of the cool kids I got my bounce back fuck that I aint never lose track And they call me boom bap of the new age hey man I'm cool with that Won’t wait until you through with that just stand on defensive accept the attack Going tic for the tac need a family sized pack but you still can’t match at the fresh in my rap Two times for the heathens, weaving, scheming, seamless through the cracks Wont stop until we even steven, speeding, got to make it back

(David Napier) Verse One When you’re feeling low Nowhere to go You’re the odd man out With no one to run to But just before you wreck this change of perspective You’ve given to much power to the powers that be Next time you make a move for your life Think about the choice between wrong and right Know what you want and what you’ll accept And put yourself first before there’s nothing left Hook Only smoke when I drink Only drink when I smoke You got me down on the ground Think I need a little hope (2x) Verse Two I ain't seen it all but I seen a lot Watched alphabet boys come and clean up the block Repped 148 now they coming back home Respect to all y’all muthafuckas my brothers just stay strong Seen my cousin bag in up by the pound Hit his cell like it’d time to cool down News travel quick in this small town Get it off, cuz I need to have you round Yeah I dabbled in it Dark past like a stout of Guinness Daddy did Fed time when they caught him pitching It was in my bloodstream I just caught the itching Ziplocks strayed round the kitchen Got it from a brother that was out in Michigan Now he trying to bubble in the KY His fam said he telling so I had to cut ties Far cry from them times shooting hoops at the Y I was lost trying to find my way home Fill the hole that was left in my soul Went wrong at the fork in the road Now I got to double back Double down in the grind so I bounce right back Been taking lumps since it was ‘08 When they pay me got to add the pro rate Get my family super straight Late nights pen game super crazy I need this for my babies Teleport me where I want to be Back to the future watching Rocko, he's a wallaby Before the time big brother started following Wallowing in pain far from the form of harmony A pen and a pad my venomous self Down to my last dime bet some pennies will help All my rage is displayed lay fangs to the page Need a sage or a stage think I'm losing myself Verse Three No effort with the effervescent Turn up like we never stressing Better yet turn up cause we need release Before the peace you know you got to go to war There is no exceptions Never learn my lesson I'm hard headed bull No life jacket jumping into the oceans Fuck a pool Fight against the current but the water so deep And the waves so high you can't win against the pull Starting to feel like drowning Seeing the dark close around me Trying to recall the simple Got to dig deeper something like a dimple Come to surface whitehead to pimple Bout to fade out ,I think I'm burnt up It's feeling played out, I don't think I've lost much damn sure ain't lost touch Think I got my second wind through my wife and daughters eyes (2x) No choices but to lock it in claw towards the surface side Head above water take a breath then I'm resuming life
