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
13.
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
14.
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
17.
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
