A lot of shit has changed since the first one
I think i found my lane i aint swervin
I love what I've become rising up as a person
And like a shining sun come from dusk i was burnin
I made this shit for yall tho
Light it up's the motto
Not only gettin higher from the pot smoke
Feel like i won the lotto
Not rich in money but I'm wealthy in spirit
I got a wealth of lyrics
Hope you see what's hidden maybe yall will hear it
Huh, i tossed that line in for the throwback
Learnin life lessons on the couch watching Bojack
Certified weapon in my mouth leave ya dome splat
Starin at the crowd 'fore i bow with the slow clap
Got my footin on track
Like a hundred yard dash
No longer have to ask which path to take
I've grown a lot since the last
Not just lookin at the stats
Really feelin like I'm in like Hathaway
Still gotta figure out the cash
Can't rely upon the raps
Dad askin "well son?" like Castaway
I hope this passion never pass
Don't let the fire turn to ash
Ima keep it in my grasp til i pass away
And i know. .that
I could go. .back
I didn't leave it all behind
We all got a place in time
Find me walking through the sunshine... feelin lovely
Huh, i tossed that line in for the throwback
Learnin life lessons on the couch watching Bojack
Certified weapon in my mouth leave ya dome splat
Starin at the crowd 'fore i bow with the slow clap
Hit em with a little bit of howdy do
Progressin through the pain, breakin chains changes how we do
I had to go insane to understand shit that might be true
Like what the fuck you think they really mean when they laugh at you
Would you break from the strain, or'd you be laughin too
Would you say fuck them mans and end up passin through
I feel i had to move from these sleepers sides like a night sand
I kept on writing I get my words from the wise man
Huh, i tossed that line in for the throwback
Learnin life lessons on the couch watching Bojack
Certified weapon in my mouth leave ya dome splat
Starin at the crowd 'fore i bow with the slow clap

Thinkin out from the inside
Feelin insane
I'm just along for the ride
In a sick game
I'm feeling larger than life
Think some shit changed
In a bar fight
I done went and got my shit caged
This age, make me feel savage
It's a, similar pattern
Which stays, hidden in fabric
I'm sayin it's static
Make a wish if you believe in magic
Way too many people don't ask why shit is happening
Way too many people never find what they passion is
Way too many people lost they lives without having it
Are you gon have that happening
I guess what I'm askin is
Do you ever think that try aint enough
Like, do you ever think your life relies upon luck
Like, do you think you're humble
Do you think you're acting right
Cuz i thought i was acting right when i was taking bad advice
×2
[Headhaunter]
I'm a mote of dust out a mushroom cloud
I made a note of what I can punch through now
With that one-two style, never sobered up, like
Standing in the sand of the land where the ocean was, eyes
Spiraling out of control, breathe in the highs and the lows
Secrets inside of the soul, sealed in the dice that I roll
On the phone, with Lady Luck and put on hold
Sit waiting one lifetime, I think I dug a hole
Do you see yours in your scene you're living?
They buried mines in my field of vision
Bathe in liquor, wait for sparks of creativity
Muzzle flashes, shooting in the dark to help me see the things
That keep me in this room, aloof and breathing in your fumes
I move from out of reach and view to prove
Inside a single move, I use fleeting interludes
To do what you've been meaning to

I'm sick of rappers
My note pad been takin prophylactics
I'm sick of acting
Opaque as if nothing really matters
I'm sick of asking
if i went what would've happened
Convinced it ain't worth the hassle
Like I'll just land in my castle right?
I'm sick of bad advice and won't take my own
I sit up afternight with pads and write these neat little poems
Get each of the moments to sit tight so they have a nice home
I'm sick of actin like home is a place that I've never known
Cuz all along... mom and dad just want me to grow
And i didn't know it at the time but see they know that you won't (that's real)
See, we the type of folk that got a different kind of dialect
I promise when you find this you'll sub track like minuses
Can you find a sec to like this shit
I'm chillin with Midas while the pious poppin percocets
Or at least the so-called, self titled, hell's rivals
The sickening faux cause, to say they know god, but never upheld the Bible
Lookin for good looks
Got none now they bookin
Lookin good to a non believer though
These demons is shooken
I felt crooked
Got better posture now
Posted up and boxed em out
See most of yall act hopeless or walk around with ya pockets out
I'm sick of the sadness
Sick of throwin away my assets
Sick of leaving my happiness up to someone else's actions
Cuz that shit got me to the lowest lows I've ever felt
And now I'm higher than ever because i learned to know myself
And i love that dude
But i used to say fuck that dude
Cuz i was that dude
Just always doin nothing new
So i tried to switch a bit
Change it up and get rid of it
I used to be sick of myself until i just got sick of it

I kept the bars rationed, now i got strep throat
I was dreaming bout the top my homie told me let's go
We went to Colorado and climbed a couple of mountains
After driving for hours shit rejuvenated my prowess
Nature's got powers, and i believe that fully
Came in contact with her out there and this is what she said to me
If you pushing I'm pulling
Aint got no time for no fooling
All of your scars are like gullies
To show you what you're enduring
You're weathered but you're still doing
Now you can tell them your stories
You got the strength to keep going
And that outweighs all your worries
I mean this waters the healing component shouts out to Mick
It breaks you down to rebuild you so you can say you have lived
Like i am here
And i am this
I am that which exists
I am cemented in time
And i embrace the abyss
I live my life through these rhymes, lines, the scribbles and scripts
I tend to shine when the vibes right, and that's how it is, shit
[THIAGO]
It's about that time
The rays intersect with the dial
Yeah I'm sunnin em like, RA
Blessed be the child
Inhaling breath of the wild when the rules high
Breakin parameters we shatter what they call the blue sky
Nothin is funny but, way too many lols in conversations
Speakin with god, way too many lulls in conversations
My chalice is never half full but half vacant
You saw, so don't get chained when you adjacent
I don't play games, not for em like fraggednation
Those who make the most moves tend to lack patience
Wanting to make a splash
What am i wading in the water for?
Hesitant order, tell the waiter let the water pour
Twirl my straw round and get seasick
Don't see the big pitcher, i see each sip
With each scripture written, i break it down to the prefix
It's in my double helix

Park, feat. RYCE

[RYCE]
At picnics at our local park
Sparked the fire in our hearts
Burned any thought that me and you could break apart
Since the day we were kids this park has been our connection
Turning these playgrounds from nothin to a land of affection
Cuz here this love is increasing i feel this deepen and I'm reapin all the benefits of havin you here
The way you swung in my life you set me back in my path
And you would chip away my wrongs brought out my better half
And it's amazing how these things never change
These picnics on the grass has always remedied our pain
Throughout our loss has gains
This bond stays the same
It's the park
That helps us restart and remember where we came
[Atwood]
And we would go down
And we would go down
And we would go down to the
(park park park)
×2
We went to the park on a Saturday night
You said you like the dark cuz the stars that'd shine
You looked in my eyes, sighed, and kissed me goodbye
And said the stars like me are always harder to find
I said why you. .goin so crazy
I wanna be by you. .you could be my lady
You're as rich as vinyl. .you told me the same thing
Never go in cycles. .you always amaze me
Baby
You said you talk too much
I said you don't talk enough
Forget finding my crush
I think i found my love
What you afraid of
It could just be us
Hanging at the park tonight alright

In the back of the line residing where the quiet kids at
I don't mind the back of the line because i picked it
A wide image kept me hushed with a hidden voice
And i'm not from around there so i pronounce it as Illinois
I used to want a reason for two night stands
Now that search for reasons gone thanks to ableton
That's like a luxury now and i aint materialistic
Realistically aint no rush to be found and making it
Don't judge me
Find character in leaving things a little dusty
Think I'm rusty round the edges
Grab some polish and a whetstone
I aint really one for having headaches
So wh-whenever i get one I'm wondering what went wrong
I can feel the waves in a vinyls groove
The path that it takes to my spinal fluid
Been a couple years now and I ain't do it
Every Wednesday i used to go pick a locked chest
It's been a lot of years now don't know if it's unlocked yet
I never had the key I'm just in love with the process
So when you ask me about time I've spent a lot, yes
Check the diagnostics
Making progress
Off a broken promise
Recently I took a loan out from hope's allowance
I hope you found a balance
I hope you find what matters
I left you a couple messages i hope you found em
It's all figments now
As the cloud drizzles it down
I saw remnants of how this shit used to be
I watched the drippin of hours collect inside of a chalice
To watch someone sip out of what was you and me
And i never came back from that
×4
But. .I didnt want to so I'm not really mad
This writing shit is like fondue
Just melt with the pads, ay
A bit impromptu
And that's just how it is
Cuz there's a lot of people out here that don't know how it is
I mean i still don't
Mostly held together with these steel spokes
Hope they don't remember the subtleties that make him whole
Cuz on my off days i be jonesing for a week
And outside has kept me golden so I'm sowed up with the seeds
Cuz on my off days i be jonesing for a week
And outside has kept me golden so I'm sowed up with the seeds
I was told on a hidden road
You're only here cuz you're hitting gold
You didn't end up on this path by chance
Step by step try to heed the words from the words from the
From the wise man (wise man)
