on the path from the ground to the greats
my family handed me their mistakes
candidly i'm relieved of the weight
a candle leads to a light inner state
so i drive down the pike interstate
wondering if i'm gonna be late
got my foot on the gas, other on the clutch
pop into fifth and i'm off in a rush
man i promise i'm almost to boston
those were the days i could get lost in
cold nights got my windshield frosted
black ice snow crust no trust holdup spin the wheel donuts
then i kick it into sixth
peel off then i disappear into the mist
those nights long i sear'em into my vision
i'm wicked i can't kick it i live it until i'm livid
a vivid color division a culling of my decisions, i'm willing it
and i suppose that you found me on the internet
well that's a mask, how bout you interface with the raw material
i step up to the plate
ballfields of dreamscapes and autumn leaves fall to the pavement
pray to god for spring
cuz summer ain't coming, weather august brings
and if i'm quite honest i no longer sing
a tall tale well told builds walls or breaks molds
still stay gold till the day that i fold
no, i don't need this anymore
mark my words as above so below
breakdown
all of my shrapnel splayed out
no victims
all of my energy telling me everything left is skeleton system
so hurry you better sedate me
mix that fent in the cocaine ketamine make me one less enemy
write my elegy
i'm like tyson
fuck my legacy
i'm no better see
you ain't telling me nothing face
fuck you and fuck them brain dead bitches you hang with
i'm up but i come from the basement
my blood it runneth on pavement
real love don't pick no favorites
real love don't take no payment
real love just feels so ancient (redacted )
divided inside yourself i find each word i speak that splits you
maybe then you know what i been through
i carry that weight i carry that weight i carry that weight to the venue
omakase got no menu
you eat what i serve and even desert
oh my god say grace when you meant to
on top and i won't be gentle
spillin' ink you write it with pencil
i'm sick of this shit i'm sick of this shit i'm sick my suffering got all my family wondering
sick of my rage it's bubbling
sick of my pain it's troubling
sick of my friend who judging it
sick of the place i come from, place i'm at, the people that hold me back, my self, these words, these raps, i'm sick of my sickness
this shits getting ridiculous
how can i heal i'm willing it
guess that you call it a diligence
i just remember waking up with a hole in my face
lights flashed doctors orders
i gave it too much weight
i was ten maybe eleven i was just too fated
felt it drip into my veins then i was just too faded
operator operator
no this is not my creation
operator operator
i need a little relation
operator operator
they say i need to be fixed
they said i needed adjustments i guess i gave 'em the slip
i woke up with a face of someone i didn't know
man made didn't wait to see if i could be grown
wonder who i woulda been
wonder what they had stole
spent half of my life running like there was nobody home
no i had no soul
i was running i was running
i wonder what they had stole
i was running i was running
i was running i was running
i was running i was it all
106 on 290
106 on 290
i was trying to die
i remember that i was screaming
but i don't know why
every night i would pray to god
there was no true answer
they said they had to do it all in case that i got cancer
but i didn't believe them
i didn't want to be near them
no i could not hear them
no way to be free
of some other motherfuckers better vision of me
what woke up that day was a whole new freak
what the fuck happened to me?
who the fuck even are you
i'm a demon, an evil being
the devil incarnate
i was screaming with no reason
i wanted to die
i didn't own my own skin how the fuck could i drive
giving up possessions that i do not need made my mind so free i
grew up in recession so my kind don't sleep but at time we dream i
new i was obsessive but eventually realized
it was i that designed what i fear i
never met a god of another mans business
never gave a fuck about a witness
i was just a boy in a band full of misfits
now they got me rapping off my wishlist
now that got me wrapping all the presents up for christmas
now i stay present on the mission
now i liken missionary more than the cristians
shake hands dignitary devine visions
steady as i ai'm take shots ain't missin
ready to reclai'm my spot fate wlling
married to myself but the game my mistress
heavy is my head held high i'm looking up at sky
feet stay planted take nothing for granted
reap what i sow, i compete with myself till i clear my soul
feats for the health and the beats for the flow
speaking in code gatekeep what i know
and share nothing but the truth
hard won with the scars to prove
pure gold something told me don't mix it
stir cold waters keep it all tepid
mama say you a jewel got necklace
making marks you can call it impressive
i've been hungry
look a little desperate
look a little ugly
fuck it find peace in the morning
fuck it imma try and find peace in the morning
fuck it imma try and find peace in the morning
take the weight off what the doctor said
i didn't want it to be obvious i'm processing
and to be honest i was lost until you and i started calling
our start was that night in boston
i didn't know it would cost me all my
everything
everywhere
all at once
all that time spent
life searching like i'm hellbent
i hope the time with this one might be well spent
my mind coming up with what i'm gonna tell my friends
but all these heavy things
help me there
all the blunt
shit i keep saying
couldn't help it
i was 22 rolling king swishers
with sweet sweetness
little did i know the missile was a heat seeking
don't matter if the sun shined
the rain fall washed away all
of the facade it didn't matter
whatever we ever promised
promises of passion
promises of what we mightve had
dreamin of building cabins
and pickin out which mattress
and fixing out our bad habits
having each other's backs
we'll tackle whatever happens
i'll pass up the last laugh
i won't mask it
cuz all our futures in the past
so i pass it on
(cuz all our futures in the past so i'm past)
weight off is what the doctor said
i didn't want it to be obvious i'm processing
i rock back and forth
think i'm on my last resort
sometimes i wonder if i'm asking for it
sometimes i focus on the past and not the path i'm towards
and even breathing i'll pass up in case i tackle more
i know my shoulder's rock stead i'm ready to carry family
even if my body breaks under the weight of what i bear
its all i care about these days
and all i work for
i'll trade in daily pain for a father stuck in the workforce
i pick up the torch and pick at the forth
down paths with nothing but tall grass
sickles and sharp axes clear passage
safe travel
its all i'm asking
no baggage
and no wack shit
i'm one step closer it's grazing my fucking hands
i'll grasp it and hold it on as i phase to the next plan
i'm tasking more money and power and more land
i'm asking new ways to escape from the cage
and so i generate it with the simple snap of my fingers
and all you hear is whatever energy lingers
i'm not kidding
i'm not finished
i had three wishes
the first two came true and the third circles my vision
my skin ripples with nuclear fission
i call forth the four names in defense of my mission
i hope my enemies remedy whatever they missing
and then i pray for their children
i pray for their children
i live life like somebody wondered what else i coulda been
so i got no more shoulda-beens
i'd like to meet the person that thinks that i could be stood against
cuz after this who would again?

you don't know what to do
you don't know a thing
you're stuck outside alone
it's starting to rain
you don't know what to do
you don't know a thing
you're stuck outside this time and it's starting to rain
you don't know what to do
you don't know a thing
you're stuck outside alone
it's starting to rain
i'm out of my wits, i'm wasted
i might as well be insane
you take one too many more
and we're screaming each other's names
the neighbors and bodega know
we both feel so ashamed
but face it, we're entangled, though
one more drink won't change things
i don't know what to do
i don't know a thing
i'm stuck outside alone
it's starting to rain
i don't know what to do
i don't know a thing
i say
i'll change this time
just after one more drink
we don't know what to do
we don't know a thing
