Music is forever
Life is but a Dream
Sometimes it seems like this life is but a dream
Cause what I’ve seen is more wild than what’s conceived
By imagination when I’m in a REM state of sleep
The crowds I’ve played in front of, honestly I can’t believe
What they perceive about you is never what you experience
So, live your own existence with conviction, truth, and fearlessness
I’m on a mission to experiment
I envision moving pyramids
You think its fake, what you create with your mind
But it could be reality with patience and time
We live our lives with restraint and confined
To whatever slice of sanity we’re thankful to find
You worship deities and pray for a sign
I’m on the meanest streets with a tank full of rhymes
Transformed by the taste of this wine
I don’t have much but you can take some of mine
I used to think I’d never find just what I seek
But I keep getting better, riding on the brink
I’m lucid, but its never quite enough for me
This music is forever life is but a dream
Clean slate
Navigate through the dreamscape
Some of the things that really happen to me seem fake
Things break, its all in how you fix it
I roam around the world with a crowd of misfits
Surrounded by girls and clouds of incense
In them UK clubs, sound is intense
We come to your town and pound our imprint
Into the souls of everyone who’s down to listen
Make the decision to manifest your goal
If you don’t attempt it, then, man you’ll never know
These days I make a new fan at every show
But I still don’t have a fucking thing to call my own
Sometimes the dreams change into nightmares
Stay prepared, cause it ain’t good to fight scared
You’re slow motion throwing punches, they don’t fight fair
You have the power to change it. It’s right there.

Every day is a grind, but I’ll be takin my time and I’ll be sharpening with practice
You could try hard but never match this
Limber on the track, doin back flips
Book bag full of fat spliffs
Grab a microphone pullin hat tricks
Average size dude with a fat dick
Putting in work on the mattress
Skinny girl, but her ass thick
Chillin in Atlanta gettin ratchet
I’ve got the stamina to last bitch
Cause I know you’re only as dope as your last shit
Steady working on a classic
Much love to the UK massive
I’m a journalist covering the revolution
You stay passive
Hopping off the stage I hit my wave like a jetski
Chevy clean, skatin down King like I’m Gretsky
Jack and soda Coca Cola, ATL, no Pepsi
Snuck a zip up in the club, the bouncers ain’t check me
STS in a Chevy, that’s a bowtie
All freshed up, dressed up like a bowtie
Yeen never seen nothin like me, don’t lie
Wonder why there ain’t nobody like me, know why?
I stop the flow like a river dam
Niagra fall on you niggas, Damn
I had to check, that’s incorrect
Technically not a dam, but don’t give a damn nigga
I just wanna Teddy jam witcha
Been that guy since I been yay high
Never wear a MAGA hat, but I been Ye high
Still all about dough like the beignet guy
Just tell me to flow and I go, glow
I be in the bluff like snow, whoa
Bending on spokes with my kinfolk
Spinnin oak wheels in the Ville to the tempo, slow
We do it on the Daily
You could never phase me
Paying my dues for well over a decade, so nowadays, fuck you, pay me
They like ‘that dude’s crazy’
Wonder what he’s been up to lately
Living the dream, assembled a team to triple the cream
With my queen getting wavy
Won’t make it if you too lazy
You faking it, you fugazi
Ladies know its true (true)
Chillin with my boo boo
Got her saying ooh ooh baby
Everything I make is tasty
They’re hating cause my face is pasty
But on the other end all these republicans are trying my patience lately

(What's that over there? Look at that bag. Let's see whats in this. Oh my god... Holy shit... This has to be several million dollars. No way...)
Call everybody I know
I just came up
All of my problems are gone
Not afraid of
Anything life can throw
I’ll be safe from
Now I can finally live the way I feel up in my soul
Don’t need greener pastures and nicer thangs
Just the passion this life can bring
Inside I can finally breathe
Only speaking what I believe
The freedom to travel and go where I can be free
Never no one to answer to
Livin the dream, doing things I never had the chance to do
To enhance to mood, flavors of my choosing
The way I feel like I’m winning even when I’m losing Aaaahh
But every day is a blessing
Never stressing
All of my dreams I’m manifesting
The lesson is learned
Never concerned with hypocrites
No need to talk about it, I’m livin it
The life that I’ve wanted to lead
They can’t take nothing from me
I’ve made a place to be where I wanna be
With no disguises
In front of me the horizon and I’ma keep rising
Call everybody I know
I just came up
All of my problems are gone
Not afraid of
Anything life can throw
I’ll be safe from
Now I can finally live the way I feel up in my soul
Call everybody I know
Best believe we bout to party for sho
Like Snoop and Dre back in ’94
Somebody bring a pound of chronic to blow
Already went and bought my momma a home
But, Last week I was mopping the floor
You wanna go, jump in the drop and let’s go
Only thing could stop me is a shot to the dome
And you know that being broke is expensive
A vicious cycle that I don’t wanna exist in
I don’t gotta longer, the weight is lifted
But I’m not stopping I’m on to a greater mission
Today will be remembered as the day my life changed
There’s more rejoice for the freedom than the nice thangs
Call everybody I know
I just came up
All of my problems are gone
Not afraid of
Anything life can throw
I’ll be safe from
Now I can finally live the way I feel up in my soul
Call everybody I know
I just came up
Struggling is all that I know
But I just came up
Never had nothin to show
But I just came up
So, call everybody I know
I just came up

Peep the raven haired angel tryna make me stare
Forbidden fruit, its true, but maybe I should take it there
Those other girls are cool but I don’t think that they compare
To the dynamic that we share
Try to make it fair
Gotta stay prepared
Anything could happen
Love is in the air
Instantly attracted
You know I’m not a player but I’m in it for some action
It wouldn’t kill me to have some guilt free satisfaction
So, I’m not asking, I’m taking
All passion, no faking
Might be crass but that ass is amazing
I’m not fast or impatient
Genuine article won’t get caught giving a pass to some fake shit
Here’s to making the best of this
Hey, I’m no relationship specialist
But the track record’s impressive
It’s not a game
I’m shooting for your heart and I never miss
I’m always there for ya
You’re always there for me
And I’m prepared for ya
Are you prepared for me?
Keeping the jealousy to a minimum
Fantasies, we’re fulfilling ‘em
Cause we need the adrenaline
So, we’re seeking the feminine
You can see I’m a gentleman who adheres to few traditions
Never watch sports, not scared to do the dishes
I’ll put you first, eat you out ’till my mouth hurts
Just try to control those emotional outbursts
It could be worse, you’re bout as cool as they come
I can’t tell what’s shining brighter, you or the sun
I see the sacrifice
No need to ask me twice, I’m there
Don’t even ask, I like to share
What’s mine is yours
Trust is what we’re climbing towards
Always try to do better than the time before
I made some bold claims, never said that I was perfect
But I’d like to think that when you spend your time its worth it
Cause you deserve it
Your intentions are genuine
I hope that I deserve the love you’ve given
Its infinite

She said she wanna get away
Baby, we can go right now
We don’t have to wait another day
We can go make a home down south
I know we’ve been through some thangs, but you know that I’ll hold you down
I know the song that I wanna play
And she’s all that I need/want right now
They said wait… Take your time.
But I don’t give a fuck girl I made up my mind
Take a taste and recline
We’re just getting stuck off the way that we shine
Hey, its a vibe
I grew up bumpin Marvin Gaye and A Tribe
(it looked like) She had cards up her sleeve cause she thought that I did
I was watching movies on the backside of my eyelids
Try not to be pissed about those dicks that you spend time with
Said the wrong thing, now we’re driving home in silence
But I’ve learned enough to know its worth the time spent
Focus on that bullshit and get your mind bent
I put it aside and put it in a song
You gotta follow intuition when its strong
(it looked like) She was dying to leave, I said “Then, come on”
You just say the word and we’re gone
You’re pissed and you’ve got reason to be
It’s the perfect season to leave
Lets go float down on the river under leaves that are green
And try to live like most people would dream
I see potential and that’s essential for growth
But its not healthy how we went through the phones
(it looked like) She was pissed enough to think of slitting my throat
I fucked it up. I’m feeling like I’m missing the boat
She’s all that I need

They say game recognize game
Maybe thats why you don’t recognize it
But your shit’s lame
Need to do a couple rap exercises
All sound the same
A million rappers with a fuckin identity crisis
I’m just tryna be myself, increase my health and keep kicking these vices
But in the meantime Ima enjoy this bitch
And stay away from the snakes that’s poisonous
Obeah, why you stay so boisterous
It’s what it is, I don’t have much choice in this
Riding so high and I fly by the seat of my pants
Rhyming leaves people entranced
Don’t know why I decided to Try to compete with their chants
Maybe just teach ‘em a dance
Ain’t it a bitch when what you love becomes cliche?
Don’t say its a gimmick
I’d be doin this anyway
It’s true
It’s what the fuck I came to do
Ain’t it a bitch when you’ve been doin this since 5th grade
Takin a shit on every crew but they throw shade on you
But you took your dream and made it true
This ain’t a gimmick, ain’t make up a dance
I said I’d go crazy if given a chance
Stay true to myself, I can’t mimmic no man
True to myself, I can’t mimmic no man
Fuck the whole industry
They wanna limit me
Dumb me down lyrically
Make me pretend to be something I’m not
Infinite energy, positive poppin’ if I’m in the spot
No prescriptions or lean, just good green in this blunt that I got
And I be pouring up shots
Jump on the mic and spaz out
Get in the zone, in a league of my own
From where only the strong survive
They say that hip-hop has died
As long as we livin its alive
Obeah and A1 are here to provide support
Keep kickin these verses that’s hard to ignore

I’ve always been a black sheep
Especially in my deep sleep
Waking in the morning
Thinking really really deep
Scared when I wake up bitch with no make up overslept the test missed the final no make up
Dreamt we ain't break up cold sweats wake up day dream at work bout a raise fuck a pay cut
Peachtree Plaza me and Obey way up ups like Shepard Fairey listen or shit get scary
So much gas at Grip Day kill a canary Big Cheeko told me my blunts too little
Passed out the Spinx told me the answer to the riddle I have a dream I beat the devil for his fiddle
By 3am they told me turn it down a little cuz people trying to sleep cuz people trying to creep
I used to count sheep till it got too deep nowadays I just howl at the moon to the beat
Alter the beast make em halt and retreat worse than passing out is the effects of no sleep
Deep. You wanna go deep? I’ll take you deep
Can’t tell if its real or make believe
They always thought I was crazy for chasing dreams
Trust me baby, its rarely the way it seems
They always thought of me as a black sheep
They can kiss my muhfuckin ass cheek
Talkin all that shit from the back seat
We’re futuristic but your shit is so last week
Pass me the backwoods filled with gelato
These lil rappers think they’re ill but they’re not though
Me and Trip tryna make a mil with a hot flow
Daily Bread in the kitchen with the hot loaves
They’re wondering what he’s warming up the oven for
We’re riding ‘round town on a hover board
Then we’re off on another tour
She says she loves me but I love her more
Put my vision on an instrumental rhythm and they play on repeat
Staying on a mission with no inhibitions and I’m slayin the beat
I’m paying attention, stay awake and listen, they staying asleep
And you’ll never get it if you never risk it, so I’m takin the leap

I heard Dimitri call my name
Have I completely gone insane or opposite
Cause now I’m seeing all these planes of consciousness
Now I’ll never be the same after this trip
Pass me the spliff with hash in the tip
Drop it on the rig and off we blast on the ship
Cartoonish mandalas materialize
Don’t you worry, that’s not fear in my eyes
It’s pure wonder
I feel my spirit arise from down under
I can hear the sound of numbers
I can smell the colors
Not believing what I’m seeing
Gotta tell my brothers
It’s time to face my demons and my selfish blunders
Behold The Emerald Dream
Trust me when I say you’ll never know until you’ve seen
But you’re focused on the cream
Life is but a dream
I stopped giving a fuck a long time ago
Bout anything other than my people, eating, and tryna flow
Never cared about designer clothes
Except for when I was a kid, then realized that was childish tho
But I’m stylin, against all the fuckin odds
Don’t know nothing about that box that y’all are stuck inside
They duck and hide behind they’re ego and achievements
Telling lies and always being on the defense
I suggest a strong psychedelic experience
Yes I’m serious,
Its as ancient as the pyramids
Here it is
Many choices to choose from
Like that LSD she’s dropping on that dude’s tongue
Or dimethyltryptamine
While you’re wide awake you’ll Have yourself a vivid dream
A meditative state to show you what you didn’t see
Getting rid of those energies you didn’t need

I don’t remember it ever looking this bleak
Remember when we rallied and we took to the streets?
Those days are long gone
He used to raise a fist and now his arm’s gone
Got him with a smart bomb
And he’s lucky to be alive
Isn’t he?
Sometimes I wonder when I think of all the misery we endure
What’s killing me even more, you can’t envision what you’ve never seen before
So, we explore ways to describe the time we were free
Prisoners cinema playin in my mind on repeat
I find freedom in my dreams, so I’m trying to sleep
Writing songs in my head and imagine the beats
Its hard to cope with the havoc they wreak
These new devices make the madness complete
They can see what I’m thinking when they pass on the street
Thought police making sure the masses are sheep
I’m trying to write, forgot what it’s like, I do it inside my head
The days went by, I came to find that our endangered pride was dead
The other day I had a thought I felt I oughta say,
instead I swallowed it,
it burned a hole in me
and as the hole was smoldering I fear that they knew I’d thought of it at all,
it’s hard to know how close were monitored, I think honest word and you’re a goner,
let alone a lofty sonnet,
shot up and lifeless body tossed over a thoughtless comment,
in the grasp of fascism the option is adapt to it
or nap forever on a cot of worms down in a cold ravine
The other day I had a thought I felt I oughta say,
but I’ve adapted quick,
choke on the truth enough
The aftertaste is saccharine it smoothens and says he chew it up,
The smoldering of matches and your gullet’s just a nuisance, fuck your two cents, homie loosen up,
What does it matter if it’s fact?
liberty was such a useless institution,
the new solution is smoother than shooting Novocain, or so I’d say in the face of death if the soldiers came.

Down to the wire, by fire I’ve been baptized
It’s been real hard to smile since my cat died
At least they’ll feel this, can’t deal with the sad eyes
That’s some real shit like seeing your dad cry
Or hear him ask why did cancer choose me?
If I don’t act like a man, then who’s he?
I stand on two feet, pen in hand and loose leaf
Use it like a weapon when the cannon shoots heat
I do it for my people cause this music is like medicine
Peace to J Mil, I swear one day they gon let us in
Elephant in the room, fuck it, I said it then
Dumb us down cause now they know the music is a threat again
We keep it eloquent
We seek intelligence
No evil people with us even if we’re hella bent
Which we frequently are
50 deep at the bar
Have some fun wit me, sleep in tomorrow
We’re all out here numbing the pain
Memory is stained, Nothing’s the same
But we gon cope with it, so come and smoke with us
Cause we got no business stressing what we won’t finish
We’re all out here numbing the pain
Look in the mirror, not for someone to blame
Try to cope with it, come and smoke with us
Ain’t no need in trying to focus on brokenness
I know its hard
Love is confusing, so is God
Indoctrinated, not willing to face the whole facade
He wanted to make it outta the hood
That’s what he told his squad
The cops left his chest lookin like a lotus pod
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Not scared to die, but terrified of losing one of my parent’s lives
I used to be full of hope, now its barren inside
You can see it in my soul when I stare in your eyes
Paralyzed some days, but I keep pushing through
One look at you, some kush and brew, I’m good as new
We’re all guilty of doing some shit we shouldn’t do
If you were faced with the same situation, wouldn’t you?
Well, that’s between you and whoever you answer to
If you don’t answer to anyone, what’s a man to do?
Respecting people ain’t hard
Just look deep in your heart
Don’t be embarrassed if they’re seeing your scars

I can’t stop working but I’m never satisfied
You don’t have a choice
Gonna have to fight
Try to find a balance but its a challenge with every setting sun
And my work is never done
I’m a candle that’s burning at both ends
I don’t get enough time with my friends
Never gave a fuck about trends
It’s just me, never tried to pretend
Keep losing the will to go in but I always seem to find it again
The chances of winning are so slim
I’m faded and the light’s getting dim
But I try to commend instead of condemn
Stay fluid and keep using what I said for the win
Get checked on the chin, but always keep the focus
Even when I’m feeling like nobody seems to notice
Prolly find me where the smoke is
But we’ve come so far since the time when we were broke kids
If you’re feeling like your boy was feeling when he wrote this
You’ll never get it if you’re never feeling hopeless
I can’t stop working but I’m never satisfied
You don’t have a choice
Gonna have to fight
Try to find a balance but its a challenge with every setting sun
And my work is never done
Chuck said don’t let your analysis be paralysis
Just saying the project is done is one of the biggest challenges
Put in work everyday to understand what balance is
Can’t seem to satisfy this hunger, man I’m ravenous
But that’s the driving force
Don’t forget what you’re riding for
I’m living proof, you never know what you’ve got in store
Keep it moving. The endless pursuit of finding more
But keep your eyes focused on the prize you’re fighting for
I wanna buy my mom a crib but at the time I’m poor
Just gotta keep my head in the game and try to score
I’ve been keeping my ass home and writing more
But some days I wonder what I’m even trying for

Tragedy after tragedy
Its sad to see the tragic scene
His reality more of a travesty than my saddest dreams
Imagine screams, the smell of fresh crack smoke, and gasoline
Sick of being a pawn in a crackhead scheme
No choice but to play the hand dealt
Is this his life or is it hell? He can’t tell
But what he can see is the portrait of a fucked up family
Mother crying, screaming like a banshee
He fought hard
Grandma was his north star
But she’s getting pissed cause he threw away his report card
Lord God! Why won’t these boys do right
Why won’t big Danny quit the drugs and start a new life?
But in actuality he’s spiraling further and further
He’s getting violent, but he never wanted to hurt her
He’s out hustling known criminals wanted for murder
And little Danny’s home eating a leftover burger
Praying his papa makes it home safe
Dreaming of the day he gets his own place
We’re smoking blunts in a minivan bumping Ghostface
Passing by the CPD hoping they don’t chase
Then its late and we’re back at Brent’s pool y’all
Head full of acid, don’t wanna watch these fools brawl
He got sucker punched and I watched my dude fall
Head hit the concrete, sounded like a cue ball
Just one of the many times he escaped his demise
With a false sense of pride in a matrix of lies
Don’t wanna hear advice from the patient and wise
What would it take to make him realize?
He’s on the same destructive path as his father
Society leading the calves to the slaughter
He would come around with that ridiculous demeanor
I found out that he was kicking it with Tina
Numbing the pain… The kid was just a dreamer
You know about the grass
The shit is always greener on the other side
The love had died, but he’s stuck inside
Grandmother tried, but he’d rather run and hide
Overcome with lies, then they multiplied
He found another guide then I saw him come alive
He quit the malfeasance when he found Jesus
I’m not religious, but when its for profound reasons
I’m not hating. I don’t judge what you believe in
I’d rather see him at the church than out tweakin
But what he did with what he had was impressive to say the least
It’s David vs. Goliath and Danny slayed the beast
He found the courage it takes to pave the way and teach
And now I want to see the man live his days in peace

If you don’t get it by now, you never will
I’m sick of apologists staying calm because they’re fed a pill
Volatile politics and better thrills
Authoring evil policies with feather quills
We’re dead for real
Or might as well be
Fuck what you tell me
Fuck what you sell me
Nothin is healthy
Keep it to yourself please
Your feelings and your selfies
Scream it if you felt me
We’re just watching Hell freeze
What is it you live for, What is it you die for
Becoming cyborgs, feels like we’re in a time warp
Natural beauties becoming eye sores
President as diplomatic as a Vice Lord
Institutionalized, entice the youth with a prize
I see the proof in your eyes, you’re gonna shoot til he dies
These kids are losing they’re lives
And you think you can decide just how they should react
When engaged and attacked
But they created the trap and thats a fact
What if your kid got blasted straight in the back?
They try to snuff us out when we’re brazen with raps
But it Takes a Nation for That
Makin em clap, never faking the funk
Never stay in the back, coming straight to the front
With a fist clenched, spitting in the faces of chumps
Waving rebel flags singing the praises of Trump
Your brain is stuck, enchained and trained
To chase that train of mainstream pain
Those following this world begging for change
Arrange your game against the grain
Lately all these emboldened racists have shown their faces
No love for children we hold in cages for going places
I don’t embrace it. We’re smoking aces
I put it in a song and scream about it on these stages
This isn’t white guilt
It’s human awareness
Try to think of people’s perspective and practice fairness
The world would be a better place if you were embarrassed and powerless
I wondered if it’d get this bad and now it is
Its really not worse, only illuminated
So much misinformation. We know the truth is sacred
Russian infiltration, most of the youth complacent
Futuristic innovation, but then its used to rape us
Your brain is stuck, enchained and trained
To chase that train of mainstream pain
Those following this world begging for change
Arrange your game against the grain

Sicker than your average
Smoking on them spliffs and I’m addicted. Its a habit
When I’m on a mission, yo the kid is just a savage
Its Saturday, I gravitate towards women like a magnet, no practice
It comes naturally
When you see me in the club pass me the weed
I’ll be rapping on the dub masterfully
If you’re lookin for the plug, that Isn’t me
Acid and weed, blast for the free
I’ll be rappin til my ass is deceased working on a passionate piece
Or in Atlanta making cash in the streets
Kisses for the ladies, ass slaps for the freaks
… if you’re interested, …ain’t no gimmicks bitch, its authentic shit
Fuck your censorship and your innocence
Ain’t no sense in it
Best believe, If I said it then I meant the shit
Rhymes are intricate
The kind that’s meant to get your mind in to it
Devine intuition
On a mission but its not a competition
They’re out here hating yo I hear a lotta dissin
Wanna take my tenderoni, but homie you gotta listen
With that weak ass game you ain’t got a pot to piss in
So, take a muhfuckin seat and watch an honorable man bussin on the beat
You don’t wanna see your man get concussions from some feet
Mind your muhfuckin business homie, trust me, shit is deep
Honestly I’m a pacifist, but I bet you’ve never taken half the risks
No ass to kiss, I’m in my own lane
That’s blasphemous for you to say that shit you say
You had to diss, you asked for this, I’m smashin shit, so passionate and accurate
We don’t play
I gotta bone to pick, but I’d rather just bone my chick
Never fold or quit. On the grind like some soldier shit
But right now I’m just vibin
Vibin to the beat
Smoking in the street, never try to be discreet
Scoping for police cause they’re known to mistreat
Anyone wearing a cologne that’s this sweet
Getting in the zone with my freak
Known to make em moan in the sheets
Make her feel like we’re alone on the beach
Lick her down from the dome to the feet
She was drawn to me, she was lookin for some action
She stuck around ‘cause she got that satisfaction
Like the Rolling Stones talked about back then
But you can get it, don’t ask if, ask when
Been paying dues, bout time for me to cash in
Your girl fucks with me, its prolly cause the passion
We get it in, no apologies, no asking
You’re bullshittin, yo you’re prolly just a flash in the pan
Limp dick, zoning off them xans
But your vibin cause you know this shits the jam
We’re staying focused on the plan
And I’m smoking with the fam
And we Fearless, floating through the clear mist
Sinking off a beer someone'd better come and steer this
Can't afford a lear, it appears that the pier’s best
Clinging to these cheers, dodging jeers as a peer test
Fuck’s a career? Disposing of any notion that art and work aren't divided, i dare you to find a quotient
All alone in this ocean, dueling doja devotion
Relishing in the roses and cloaking all my emotions
I'm fixated on my focus, word to my bro austin
Stoned, flowing colder than bones in them old coffins
Soul glowing gold, it be doing it so often
Just to show what them deals costing
That's a lot, cream on my dome getting top
Money on my phone and this green in my socks
Plenty fake friends on the scene think they hot
Chasing pipe dreams while we vibe at the spot

Eenie, meanie, mynie, catch a rapper in a thirst trap
Trapped in a computer screen. Love the way she serves that
Fantasize when tantalized, pay to make the curves fat
Totally desensitized, now they want they’re nerves back
Its nothing new, but it seems to be
Same shit, but a whole different scenery
Same vices, new technology
Higher price for the likes and the ‘follow me’
The future is even more crazy than I thought It’d be
You can see anything, but they charge a fee
Made yourself numb, but don’t give a fuck
Only live once, gotta live it up
Sheeeeit, Like Pimp C said, never trickin off
If she ain’t turned on, then my dick is soft
I ain’t knocking the hustle
I know your caught in the struggle
You’re merely solving a puzzle
Nobody popping your bubble
You think nobody could love you
Fuck… Are you serious?
Lifestyle makes you feel stuck and delirious
She said this shit is real, he hopes it really is
He never felt this way. He knows she’s feelin this
Life’s no fun. Disassociate
Turns out he can buy love, but he know its fake
Always tricking on the cams, never go on dates
It’s all good, he never wanted to procreate
I never judge. Make no mistake
But I thought I’d be appreciated cause told it straight
Sell your soul for a mate, that’s the going rate
I don’t wanna make the same mistakes my homies make
Snapchat, instagram, pornhub
He’s always been a minute man
He wants her for himself, she don’t give a damn
She’ll do anything just to get a fan
She could make a million clams with a little cam
The pimp is obsolete cause she don’t need a middle man
He’s paying all her bills in hopes to maybe get a chance
To get a night between those thighs, but he didn’t, damn…

Hello? Is anybody listening?
Hello? Does anybody care?
Hello? Is anybody listening?
Hello? All I see are blank stares
Consumed by a dark force
I scream until my voice is hoarse
No response and no remorse
My broken body holds the torch
Solemnly I’m going forth
Into the darkness alone
Not one bone to be thrown
If only I could show them what I’ve been shown
Hypnotized by the lights of a phone
I’m being judged by my likeness alone
Soliloquies crawl from my lips like millipedes
And trace filigrees on your heart
Is this a dream?
I can’t tell it apart from real life
Its dark. I forgot what light feels like
Brilliant ideas ricochet off the shields guarding the ears of my peers
And return as light that illuminates my fears
All I see are dark shadows, dark clouds in the sky
Looking for shelter, but I don’t wanna hide
One step in front of the other
Slowly, but surely we’ll sand outside discovered

I don’t know how the fuck I got here
I’m just glad I made it out the nightmare
In one direction, in the distance there’s sand and dunes
Other direction there’s Cliffs with oceanic views
Music floating through the air. I think its Panic Blooms
In a circle around a fire sirens dance to grooves
Singing praises to Gaia as the fire burns
I just remind myself to shut my mouth and try to learn
What is it I deserve? What is it I have earned?
Why would I worry bout your life if its not my concern?
(Turn to face the shore
(I know I’ve been to this place before
Such a vivid scene, but is this a dream?
(I’m somewhere in between
Around the bend is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen
I have to make it over there before I leave
I don’t know how the fuck I got here
I’m just glad I made it out the nightmare
Embrace my super powers
No more racing through hours
Take a break and smell the flowers
Smashing regrets, no more lasting effects
Not just fuckin I’m having passionate sex
Hangliding as the sunsets
Are we having fun yet?
Take a trip to the moon to get her undressed
Ascend back to your room
Did you cum yet?
I stand atop an obelisk
Scanning the metropolis
I see ‘em planning ways to topple this
But this is my world, that bullshit is not a risk
Then I glance down
How many stories down? I can’t count
The fear sets in. I can’t even stand now
How did I get up here?
Get me to the damn ground
Now that I’ve landed I don’t see the world the same
In this universe in my mind, I can feel no pain
Psychologists study your brain and try to explain
What your dreams represent and why you’re insane
But nobody’s story is easily told
We’re too complex to fit in a mold
All we want to do is live til we’re old,
Fall in the fold, and buy what we’re sold
Dreams can be nonsense, dreams can be goals
Dreams can be things you see that teach things you should know
Stay curious of the unknown
Share your stories when you come home
Who’s to say that what we experience in dreams
Doesn’t affect the waking life of all these human beings
We’re digging deeper. Tearing at the seems
It’s for the people and terrible for kings
