(Verse 1) Condolensces to all my oldest friends, the day has come and gone, we never spoke again Quick hello to the ex girls, who keep tuning in, this albums not for you, this one’s for me instead It’s been said, many times in fact, that I’m a selfish mother fucker, not a brainiac But where my brain be at, is somewhere between here and immortal I’ve been opening every door searching for the portal To take back in time, to find where I left me at I wrote this rhyme in an hour, let’s see you beat that You ain’t coming close, the words I wrote are comatose, and I’m so engrossed The question is, what do you love doing most? For me, It’s steady doses reminiscing, get caught up in the past But I’m searching for my vision And I need, well, wouldn’t we love to know that Freeze frame this moment, I need a Kodak Silly me, stuck living in a past era, Pull your iPhones out, fuck it, let’s start sharing Man, that ain’t the life for me Taking hits, an Instagram of Ecstasy, don’t OD (Hook) And I'm asking, is this too much for an intro? We can move it to the end, just as long as it’s official And every move I make is getting fouled, where’s the whistle I hope these thoughts are beneficial, I’m just hellbent on blowing bigger than a missile Some days I say I miss you, I’m just taking to me, bring the tissues (Verse 2) Change the flow up, I’m going nuts, Dunkin Donuts Mama calling on the phone, I can’t answer the tone, I’m not rhyming, now my mouth is sewn shut I probably should stop when I’m dropping the flow And I’m rocking the shows, and I don’t even know it My composure is slower, I’m going insane It’s another day of these thoughts in my brain (Verse 2, Cont'd) This was just a reminder that words that I say, They all tell the story and matter the same I’m maddened by messages I didn’t save But it’s better than words that I forgot to say At the fork in the road, turn away from the grave And when fortunes are sold, and formulas made I’m focused on riding this incoming wave Don’t get it my way (Verse 2, Cont'd) And I’m popular, when I’m popping bottles With these sloppy models, wanna work the throttle I ain’t getting revved up like your Chevy Tahoe I’m a man of my word, you could call it the gospel Hypocritical views, the man’s an imposter I flow like the flu coming out of your nostrils Circle of life and I’m not the Mufasa I, never owned the team, never built the roster Always in the league, always loved by daughters M-V-P, and there’s no debating I’mma change the game, like your PlayStation But you change nations, like disgraced Asians I’ve misplaced spaces, so no breaths taken I’m no rest for the wicked, no rest for the weary Open your lungs and scream if you hear me I’m hopeless and young, but that end is nearing Too many nights, I’m awake and I’m fearing Then I take a breath and I’m finally hearing (deep breath) The thoughts in my head, no longer coherent (Verse 2, Cont'd) Taking action, no satisfaction, the saddest fashion They believe the hype, rest in peace at night, I don’t see the light I don’t need respite, I just seek delight, call the meek for might They’re workload demons on a search for Christ But I’ve denied the like, full-time defender of your human rights I just speak on beats, and hope they hit you right (Bridge) I hope, I hope, I hope they hit you right Where the feelings at? Hit 'em where the feelings at? (2x) (Verse 3) I broke down and cried, thinking this was it Looking back now, it was my own selfish benefit I was hellbent on making my name exist In the lights of big cities, now that changed quick Shit, I’m always mentioning the past But I moved the line in the sand, you couldn’t adapt Things were overlooked, perhaps I overreacted, money took a backseat, but I’m back bitch And I ain’t worried about making it rich If I was, these songs wouldn’t exist Been pushed til I jumped off the cliff Spinning round so quick, got thrown like a disc Had to write these words like a self-imposed diss And the rest of the album is my response to this shit T.D. was me, when I didn’t have another friend Needed to confide, I’m scared, don’t let it start again I’m in the dark alone, just jotting with a pen I can see that night when I could see the end (Break) Lyrics are the reason I’m overcoming fears Writing to you I hope that you’ve been moved to tears We’ve all moved, I’m just living where the truth is near This is my movement, I hope you find this shit sincere (SAMPLE) If there's hell below. I'll see you when you get there. Are you enjoyin' yourselves? If we may we'd just like to close off with somethin' a bit inspirational. Hopefully something a bit relevant as to us all are having the same fears, shedding similar tears, and of course dying in so many years. It don't mean that we can't have a good life. So we'd like to just maybe close out with something, some food for thought, for all of us (Outro) Tears come down, like waterfalls I’ve been there, tear down those castle walls You feel scared, don’t be scared at all They told me, I need to find a miracle I’m sorry that I’m not so spiritual But if you’re here it, cool If not, why? This is an album where I swear I will not lie

(Verse 1) I, just wanna keep it 100 I just wanna know I’ve done something Suitcase, I’m packing up my suitcase Gotta move again, I'm just hoping that you stay Who they? Why they always doing things? I ain’t over here reviewing dreams I’m working on a cypher that be fire out my windpipes Fire breathing dragon, yeah world, I’ve been nice Burning down the village, and the city is in sight Spent too long wondering who I could entice Eww, that ain’t the price, we gon’ find you in a tight vice I been saying that ain’t quite right, Boy, you know always been nice (Verse 2) No tellin’ if you sweating once again I got a spirit in my heart, you can hear it in the pen And the venom that I’m spitting tear down Spiderman's webs I got a couple lyrics, that’ll pierce through your chest This for my family who don’t hear that they the best But they treat me like I’m different, do they fear my success? Maaannnn, that be getting serious Maaannnn, do you thinkin that they hear it? Don’t know, but I gotta lay a cold flow Even with the cold and flu, Hoping that this flow’ll do Know that if I promised you My promises are golden ruled Outlined, outlined with the pro-est tools I’m the type of guy, wait I'm the type of guy that you don’t always notice who Stick a notice on the door, if you know it’s true Yeah I know I’m true. All I ever did was give you all facts But my one track mind keeps running all the laps And I cried last night, so glad I could adapt Am I really this far, from rewinding to the past? It’s really in the past The present is a present, and the future’s coming fast So leave it in the past (Hook) I got all these new things, I’m just hoping they all last Ain’t no tellin, ain’t no tellin I’m trying to stay true to myself, but I can try all day, I still need your help ain’t no tellin, ain’t no (Verse 3) Back to it, promised I’d get back to it Cluttered up thoughts, know I’m gonna rap through it Can’t believe how much I’ve grown Ain’t checking my height, or counting my woes Put down the phone, navigating the road Over mountains we go, hills and valleys below Thinking we should take it slow No, no….no, no I ain’t wasting my time on the wannabes, Who be looking for charms by the number 3s It isn’t like I got it right on the first try With time, I know I could be the right guy Maybe I could be the change on the playlists But I’m thinking radio ain’t gonna play this Why? Cuz ain’t getting famous Ha! No, I ain’t getting famous I can name 100 rappers out ahead of me And I can out rap them all, but that don’t get me cheddar cheese (Bridge) Cheddar cheese, they ain’t get cheddar cheese I keep on packing bread, and gathering the lettuce leaves (Verse 4) No tellin’ if I hit ‘em this hard Gonna leave ‘em dead on the street, bodies in the front yard Naw man, I ain’t rapping that trap flow, and talking about Bags of ye, negligee, and stripper poles, Talking bout that real life, coming from the heart and soul It’s hardest for this artist, not to mention all this on the flow Point in my life, that you don’t even really know Wait, wait, wait, my troubles and struggles been reducing quickly Truth is, I got no worries to stick with me Yesterday, I went and spent like two fifty All I bought was gas and clothes, thought about absent woes But absent minded cash flows, makes me like an asshole Man on the street, trying to get a bite to eat AC on, windows up, while he’s standing in the heat, and we Complain about nothing, thinking we deep We all trying to grow, so don’t knock me off the peak Don't knock me off the peak, We all trying to grow, so don't knock me off the peak (Repeat 2x) Hit a growth spurt, baby let your soul search We all getting through, if we put in hard work Hit a growth spurt, baby let your soul search We all getting there, if you follow this verse Hit a growth spurt, baby hit a growth spurt (2x) We gotta grow, I ain't got no time, phew Can't even find the words Sometimes you just gotta, you know Stick to it, fight through it, only was is...just do it

(Verse 1) When life is counterfeited, I’ve been down some minutes And I can’t forget it I’m in town where the crown is hidden I’m tired of looking around like a clown, I’ve given Enough hope to jump rope, over the front porch Knocking on front doors, hoping someone’s home Hoping no one knows, things that I’ve done when no one’s home Gotta see this life, what it’s worth, but I want more I’ve been worried that I’m seeing problems That just keep increasing on us See some demons that are creeping on us Who’s got my back, yes keep us honest If you’re seeing all the same things in the same dreams, then change scenes I may scream, but sometimes I maybe, a little uneasy Hey, did you pray for somebody to save me? Got too much hope for the hopeless Guess it comes from a smile on the homeless Gentleman uptown when asked if I wrote this Would say that it’s bogus, a collection of poets Are really the ones, who put the words on the pages In eighth grade skipping songs on my playlist That’s what makes this moment so innovative My faith was broken, who are you saving? Nobody can save Tim They say when you’re witnessing death It’s best to match breath, until the last one they took left Was I even breathing? After she left It’s only right that I sit here to reset Reflect on the grief that we felt, at Marie’s death (Hook) Beautiful, beautiful, I just want what’s beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, I just want what’s beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, give me all that's beautiful Beautiful, Beautiful, I just want what's beautiful Beautiful, Beautiful, give me all that's beautiful Beautiful, Beautiful (Verse 2) Let’s start with an ominous statement Two years before this kid was created My mom and dad almost didn’t make it See, I shoulda had an older brother Go outside and we’d play in the summer Things didn’t go well, the doctors discovered Joey was born, but his brain wouldn’t function So to have another kid, became the discussion Easy, it wasn’t They tried again, and they brought me from nothing Living for two, got no time for a budget Matter a fact, I got no time for abundance I got to this point, working every single day Thank you for reaching the summit And leaving a map so I could climb up above it (Hook) Beautiful, beautiful, I just want what’s beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, I just want what’s beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, give me all that's beautiful Beautiful, Beautiful, I just want what's beautiful (3x) Beautiful, Beautiful (Verse 3) All the moments of this life define us My first crush was burned up in a car crash with a semi-truck And even though it’d been years, I had to send my love I told her a couple months before she died that I thought she was One of the most amazing people that I ever met At least you she knew that, no words unsaid My formative years, I became friends with the dead Lost my grandma, my first crush I couldn’t worry about too much Too many funerals, thought life sucked My perspective, is what let me light up My aunt killed herself, and I never forgave her Why was it different when it happened to Taylor? Was I older, had more understanding? Did it seem, she had left no one abandoned Like my aunt left my uncle and cousin That’s your kids, that’s your husband Some anger still hanging and pent up Their whole life changed once she hit hang up Did I say enough? At least my uncle’s happy now, but he don’t say much You can earn a lot of money but that won't save us So does life suffice? Are you paying the right price? Or are you clueless, singing the blue’s clues But who knew? When you add up the things that happened to you An accident, tragic shit, but somehow, you pull through (Hook) I just want what’s beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, I just want what’s beautiful Beautiful, beautiful, give me all that's beautiful Beautiful, Beautiful, I just want what's beautiful (4x) Beautiful, Beautiful

(Hook: Sampha) Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much There's no need for us to rush it through Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much This is more than just a new lust for you Don't think about.. (Verse 1) Done saying, I’m done changing My minds racing while I’m pacing Got too much, cuz my mind’s stationed On auto-pilot where the thoughts are violent Left all alone like I got an island So I cast away to be the lone survivor Thought the move was heavenly but I’m growing wiser Gotta know I'll be my own demise or Even worse, you should close your eyes for The next few bars, when I wreck these cars Like June 28th, at 3:45, uhhh You don't wanna know about these feelings You don't wanna know about these reasons I felt shit that you've never seen, Wonder how I'm still breathing Maybe this evening, we should sit down So it reminds me, when we were young and would climb trees Branches got too high, for all of my leaves Maybe I should just buy things But my dream don't cost no green I want one thing, I want one thing But they tell me, I'm not job hunting And I haven't seemed to be running What do I do with all my time? Am I turning into a bum, please? Why would you say such dumb things? I want good raps, when I'm talking bars Happiness, not new cars So, what do you see at night, if you ain't seeing stars?

(Verse 2) This songs for everyone who comes after Sometimes I get messed up, it's a disaster But I'm careful in my concepts And I'm aware of goals and content And I'm barely slowing my conscious But no phone calls, so you feel small and the deals raw, but that ideas flawed It'd appear odd if I was fearing god Just think about it, my dear, huh? Do you understand what I'm saying? Know why I'm not praying? I'm elevated to a higher height We in the liar's sight, he gotta firefight My entire flight all I did was write Words I'd never share in my entire life Spit on this mic tonight I'm worried that if I open up You'd see the broken stuff My god, I think I've wrote enough Sometimes I just say too much Now on to the next flow, Because my throats full, like I'm throwing up Babydoll, just hold me up We overflow with love Then get to throwing stuff Is life getting hard enough, well let's slow it up Sometimes I feel like blowing up When my emotions tucked To prevent that, I'm here to open up (Hook: Sampha) Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much There's no need for us to rush it through Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much This is more than just a new lust for you (Outro: Sampha) Don't give up, on your hopes And you tell me somethin's gone wrong Wholehearted, wholehearted, you care, you care Cause I'm such a dreamer, a believer in a sense Well if it's all a dream Then I'm on fire, feels like, I'm on fire Tell me when I'm lyin', tell me when I'm tryin'

Are you down for the ride, should you make the next move? Make the next move (Outro) Been too long, since I was rapping with this purpose (ohh the ride) It’s been five years and my rapping isn’t perfect (ohh the ride) It’s been five years of me and Mec just trading verses (why won't it stop, the ride) But I'll never be a traitor to the ones who were there to make this life so perfect.

(Verse 1) Waiting for the moment when they tell me that my time is up Waiting for the moment when they tell me I don’t rhyme enough I don’t wanna sound like I’m stuck in a second gear Move a little over here, do a little over there Got one too many fears But I’m feeling insincere Waiting for the moment when they’re knocking on my door And if they ever walk in, they’ll be laying on the floor Waiting for the days when the flowers go away Waiting for the day to visit my grandmother’s grave What would I say? What would I do? How about you? (Break) I’ve been waiting (Verse 2) Waiting patiently, thoughts escaping me Who am I supposed to be? I wrote a note, so hopefully My former self will notice me If I can’t afford to cash it Will it buy me groceries Do you smell the potpourri? Sometimes it makes me choke you see I'm waiting in daze Tuesday’s gone, Wednesday fades I’m feeling Thursday, in the worst way Weekend’s coming soon But if it’s the month of June Then my manners must be rude Are you waiting for some passion? I think I need some satisfaction But is this the saddest fact, hmm (Transition) I wonder if I’ll finish this Sometimes I feel I’m amiss Sometimes I think I shoot and miss Do you think the truth exists? (Transition 2: Mecca) Mec, Mec, Check, Check, I don’t know a whole lot but I feel pretty good about this one Patience, patience (Verse 2: Mecca) You were always one to give me these extended verses Where these other rapper's balls, they need to check their purses Flow jackers and coke, does that complete your purchase?

(Break) I am waiting (Transition: Objects in Motion) (Hook) They say objects in motion, they’ll always move But I don’t know what to do, when it comes to you Butterfly, always fly away But I want it, I want it to stay (Refrain) Counting down to the time when we are finally home I don’t know if I would take that road, To anywhere (Bridge) Objects in motion, they keep going (3x) And they never stop My mind keeps going, it keeps going (2x) Damn, I got a lot of thoughts Life can be so long, if we don’t sit wasting it I’ve grown a lot to 25, but bear with me, it could take a bit (Hook Alt) Objects in motion, they’ll always move But I don’t know what to do, when it comes to you Butterfly, always fly away But I want it, I want it to stay (Hook Alt 2) Objects in motion, yeah, they always move I don’t know what to do, when it comes to you Butterfly, always fly away But I want it, I want it, I want it to stay

Put that in the Matrices, and ask me if it’s tragedy Why I keep retracting fees I’m over all this apathy Move on to the past with me Not the people or the passive needs I’m reclaiming former energy Entered installations for this entity And it’s just me (3x) (Verse 2) Caught up in the picture, we don’t even see the frame You just riding down the road looking at the other lane You schedule all your days and just watch them fade away If you have a dream, see the demons in the wrong tonight Because they just prolong advice, and try to suffocate your life You’ve suffered long enough, substitutions no longer suffice Time for you to play the game, stop shying from the brightest lights Take the pass, and make the drive, pick your team and stay alive Family in the stands, team is by your side I see the reasons why you’d be feeling pride You’re custom made, they can’t take that away Your opponent from a different cloth, but at least he’s still getting paid Take the shot, time to overcome your former ways I had to slow this down, so we could formulate And find how to incorporate this long debate Of what it really means for you to be great (Outro) And are you satisfied, with overwhelming alibis It seems that you shouldn’t have tried To take the blame and make the time But at least I don’t, don’t fake my pride I’ve seen that way, go way too wide I’ve seen the look on faces, cried I’ve seen some things I’d rather hide I'd hide, I'd hide, don't hide, no And are you satisfied, with masses that just pantomime Seem to follow every lie And I’ll see you out there in the sky Overcome not compromise I’ve seen the fire in your eyes Let me know you will survive Survive
