Why do you think I think this way
It's hard to say
Unless I got an appointment
I point away
I'm tryna learn to enjoy it
Even with pain
But heated
When you cross my brain
You cheated? same
It's all a shame
We had to play
Some foolish games
I'm looking ghoulish in the face
We pooled mistakes
Unless it's you
I'm not okay
Not all the way
But even then was led astray
So now I pray
And I don't know who I'm praying to
Who is the one saving you
If not yourself
You got a spot on the top shelf
If you want it
But everybody's shotgun wedding
To get the wad of cash
It seems ironic
Toxic trash
A whole lot of that
Thots who smash other chads
A whole armful
Who stabbed my back
It's harmful looking back
And hard not to crack
But I know I can
Clear the gap
And keep on my path
I feel it's sad
When I have to part
It's part of life
I should be glad
I'm not in the dark
I found a light
It casted shadows
Over the sharks
Because my pupils had to dilate
Was looking past
All the booking gaps
I thought it wasn't what
I actually had
In fact
I'd wished I never gave a dap
To those ass-hats
But I know I learned how to back up
Proceed with caution
I earned that complex
Myself
Was given good options
Opted out
Toxic trash
A whole lot of that
Thots who smash other chads
A whole armful
Who stabbed my back
It's harmful looking back
And hard not to crack
But I know I can
Clear the gap
And keep on my path
Wish I had a moment
You wouldn't ignore the facts
A minute to explore
The impact
Of thorns in my back
Of course I'm mad
But I know that doesn't get me much
Been using it as a crutch
And as such
My legs are weaker
Way too many rips from the beaker
But not enough tricks from out my speakers
I'm tryna scuff up my sneakers
And also lay these plucks
Hope you repeat them
Not just playing me facetious
Cause imma be some shit
And you're just gonna be shit
You can't be telling me shit
From where you sit
You an elf
I'm an elephant
You irrelevant to the struggles that I face
I'd put my knuckles to your face
But you can't even say it to my face

Ain't no seams on the piece
Sheesh
You redeem what you reap
I can choose when I speak
Ain't no seams on the piece
Sheesh
You redeem what you reap
Steep
Sipping tea, giving heat
Stronger than my partners
Not a feeble grunt
Not to lead them on
I don’t need to con
I got p’s to flaunt
Got to see the sun
I don’t even run
Anymore
Trees to run
I got trees to run
I got beats to offer geeks
But they only want one thing
Always bring
Don’t even bring it up
I’ll get you what you want
Then beat it son
I’ve seen enough
I don’t want Franklin’s
To be frank I wanna win
I don’t make you wanna
Hum
I just make you wince
I’ll give you for instance
Existing as myself
You wish I was someone else
To put upon your shelf
You should be ashamed
Because I’m really playing
And you don’t even play
The verses that I say
That worsens all the pain
You jerks are all insane
We don’t learn things the same
Reverse the pane
It works to change perspective
Perfect aim progression
Smirk angry obsession
Clerk take my concession
I know they cost 11.75
So don’t even mess him
Cursed to blurt out the hurt in my chest then
Bursting right out on my shirt to depress them
Birth to lie, on this earth I’m the best man
You hurting my eyes and you need a breath mint
Now that you peeped the message
Seek some acceptance
In the dead wreckage
Read the deed
Now it’s my possession
Off the E
You’re a childish professional
Best to peace spud
Irish vegetable
They’re weak
And I’m delectable
That speech of mine incredible
Ain't no seams on the piece
Sheesh
You redeem what you reap
Steep
Sipping tea, giving heat
Geeked
I can choose when I speak
This a thought piece
Bubble off me
This along street
Y'all be off-beat
I'mma alter autumn if you cross me
Can't believe we caught 'em
Pokeball feats
See 'em washed up
This the wrong beach
Get em off me
As I'm activated
You elapsed and faded
I need practice daily
So I pass the playlist
Rapping Caviar
Got em packing lately
I'm the blackest baby
Fist up
I'm acting out for lack of payment
We need maturation
Honorable for it
LeBron focused
This all motive
The God opus
This all molded
My arm throwing
And long flowing
My jaws holding
It’s automatic
Finna glow at it
Fuck yo Patek
Always go at it
Call me flow addict
Finna go up
Nigga no attic
Back on it
There's no overlapping
We ain't matching flavors
Ain't no daps or favors
Think the beats get catered
I'm a motivator
You a hater
Say you gon' go up
If you gon' show off
Don't show up
Raps on me
I'm guiding Noah
Happily
I'm finna flow up
Know what?
Apathy
I can give no fuck
Mad at me?
Nigga, go po' up
Juking like Madden be
Niggas catastrophes
Don't want a addy, B
Sober, I'm glad to be
This what it had to be
Really getting peace
Northeast
Out to East France
I enjoyed Nice
Niggas ploys be
They enjoy me
But don't know a song
Shit annoy
I collab with real
Niggas geese to me
You ain't really flocking
Just the Kodak beat
I'mma seek the sheet
Writing heat to peak
Shit a shirt to you
It's a piece to me

What Is Understood

Crazy how I thought this would last forever
Crazy what I thought I was
But things changed for the better
Sure as rain was the weather
Cleaned me up
Show my ways are clever
No more plain from Denver
Still blow my whole day on the ember
Growing pains
But I’m growing pay
So many things changed from November
Know today so much more then ever
Yesterday wasn’t just a lecture
I’m still working on myself
Putting time in on the texture
Tryna add worth to my shelf
I’m not talking wealth
Y'all
Stick to the bottom of the barrel
I’m hoping you’re sterile
I don’t want to rock the same apparel
I want you in peril
I’m aware that you’re a demon too
Thought I needed you
Thought you were somebody else
I don’t wanna be with you
I want the girl that I thought
That I had
Not a thot
Rat ass bitch
Who wanna drag
My name out
Flatten shit
And suck a bag of dicks
I’m tryna get outta that bag
Chase the bag
To be happy and rich

Who’d Have Thought

What are the odds
That it’s just this way
And we’re better off
Probably not that great
What are the odds
That it’s just this way
Better than not
Still unjust
And it sucks
It must stay
Whether or not
We can trust
It’s tough
It can’t be rushed
At least that’s what
They say
What are the odds
That it’s just this way
And we’re better off
Probably not that great
I’m over thinking
How much
I be overthinking
“How much?”
You’ll be over there thinking
Well it’s enough to be rough
Alright?
Feel like drinking
And that’s not a good sign
But fuck the Hollywood sign
If I’m not
Being myself
Bitch
Was only twelve
when I found out how to give it a shot
Was 16
When I learned to make it actually hot
And this me
Found a lot
More in an screen
Than anything that they taught me
Now an outlet to beat the [coughing/coffin]
I know you wanna see us
Down in the dirt
Caps leaving people hurt
Wanna see me eat
What you through away
Like that’s helping me
Like you’re making my day
You know my feet got blisters
And I’m twisted to numb the pain
In vain
It’s all seeming
I wanna scream
But that won’t make it okay
Part of me wishes you stayed
Part me hates you and wishes you pain
But most of me is thankful
Cause I gotta learn this shit some way
So thank you
What are the odds
That it’s just this way
And we’re better off
More than probably great
What are the odds
That it’s just this way
Better than not
We’ll adjust
And move on
That’s just the crust
Of the cake
Weather what drops
You can trust
Your instinct
And think
Of every day
As your pay day
What are the odds
That it’s just this way
And we’re better off
More than probably great
No one can stop the fate
But everyone stops the faith
When obstacles lay ahead
At least that’s what I’ve witnessed
Unfriendly bitch shit
They lose interest
When you need a helping hand
Turns out they we’re doing decisions
To scissor me out
Ever since who knows when
Some pitiful clowns
And like I had Stockholm yo
I didn’t want it to end
But it was better in the end though
I’ll make new friends
No need to pretend now
I only got a few left
And I’m learning something new
Every time my shoes step
There’s two types of Q’s
But only one type is best
By definition
As far as quality I’m blessed
Some recognition
As far as quantity you’re stressed
Either position
You got a lot or got less
I bet you wish you had the opposite
The problem is
You gotta find the best flaws
Cause we all got em bitch
Not perfect

I pissed life off
Ain’t that some shit
I miss my ex
But I know that bitch
Wasn’t shit
I wanna
Fuck
I pissed life off
I wanna write it all
I miss life now
I messed up again
I’m quite down
Looking for loving when
They try to drown
I hope I can fucking swim
I know I can swim
I don’t know about them
I just go around them
I’ll just keep a pound
So the ground can’t be found
But I’m bound to hit it
You’re not around when I do
So far you can’t hear the sound of it
So hard I can’t keep my mouth shut
Technical difficulties
Extra principled
Whenever the shit hits the whole blade
No Lysol no glade
Just a dash in the night
After a stab in the back from a knife
Actors are trash and infect your whole life
Not really that rash to expect it won’t go right 
I’m tryna keep off that
But also tryna stay bright
Eyes peeled on the path
Ahold of no light

Mirror Gazing

Looking how I move for cheddar
Thinking you could do it better
If you knew how much I do for it
You wouldn’t call if effort
I think you could call it sweating
My whole life
In letter form
Yes better than the sword
Slice up your chest
Open
Call it human error he was born
How’d I get broken?
The unspoken
Bond
Was one way
They saw fun days
In sun rays
But when the rain come
They run away
The fake ones
They wanna play some
And fun’s great
But what about love
For the ones you call mates
I guess I’m too strung up
With dumb expectations
Like I really expected
The thugs
But y’all some jake bums
More value in shake crumbs
You wanna call me fake
Then take a look in the mirror
To shave down a clearer
Image and fuck yourself
You wanna call me fake
Then take a look in the mirror
And peep flaws
I said to your face
Retard
You wanna call me fake
Then take a look in the mirror
To shave down a clearer
Image and fuck yourself
You wanna call me fake
Then so be it
I’m done being
Someone that I’m not
To keep from popping these demons
I don’t need a cause or a reason
To be steaming
But I got at least
Sixteen
And that’s just this evening
Never much for the leaning
But cleaning up is hard
Especially with the battle scars
But I’mma get far
From dreaming
And putting work in
To work out the kinks
Tryna lessen my drinks
For four years
I’ve been seeing my shrink
It’s true I hear
I’m not fucked up
I just fucked up
I hope to get my name clear
From this mud through which it dragged
And snagged me up
Seeing bubbles till I pass out
That’s what they thought
But I’m coming back
For their glass
House
I really brought rocks
To be tossed
But weaned
Off that
Cause I was taught
To be strong
And revenge is weak
As well as wrath
You wanna call me fake
Then take a look in the mirror
To shave down a clearer
Image and fuck yourself
You wanna call me fake
Then take a look in the mirror
And peep flaws
I said to your face
Retard
You wanna call me fake
Then take a look in the mirror
To shave down a clearer
Image and fuck yourself
You wanna call me fake
Then so be it
I’m done being
Someone that I’m not
To keep from popping these demons

Peter damn
Running man
Like the hands
On the clock
While I can
Doing what you not
If I call
Ain’t no blank shots
Make him crawl
Psych no leg shots
Make 'em bawl
Standing at the snake's plot
Should’ve stayed indoors
Got laid out
Now you don’t get choice
What to say 'bout
I don’t AR
I don’t go the snake route
And I know who they are
So I might stick around
But I might not
Best to surround
Yourself tight god
Vest ain’t safe and sound
during a fight, watch
When I’m done
Need more
Than just a wet wipe
When I’m done
I’m hoping
You don’t get right
Going 0 for fifty
Feeling all but guilty
You can call my filthy
And you’re dead right
Certified dickhead
Girl come suck this dickhead
Or we can just fuck instead
I hope that you are misled
Misled right into bed
Yes miss get
Further down to give neck
I told you I’m a dickhead
What else did you expect
I’m going in to only receive
And not give head
I'm certified over qualified
When she came to me
I had some bags on me
When she pulled up
I had that cash on me
She like damn dank
Where you get all that
Bitch
Don't worry bout that
Just open the back for me
She make it clap for me
Throw it back on me
Ass so fat
And she latch on me
Do I qualify?
Can I capitalize
Turned 125 to a 350
350 turned to 1250
So quick God damn
I just changed the stock
I've been heavily prescribed
I could be a dickhead
But this dick and head gon' change your life girl
Certified dickhead
Girl come suck this dickhead
Or we can just fuck instead
I hope that you are misled
Misled right into bed
Yes miss get
Further down to give neck
I told you I’m a dickhead
What else did you expect
I’m going in to only receive
And not give head

Somebody Suck Me

Laugh like it’s your birthday
Have some cake
Ease off thinking
About your past mistakes
Like
Rags to rage
Tackling bags to make
I can’t hardly save
Weed and cigarettes just take my pay
Must be the pain
But I’m taking on a challenge
March through the rain
Take five
And take an L
Brain fried
The baking smell
Deadly
Like it’s heavenly
But seventy for a q
Is just a little steep
I don’t really need it that bad
I admit I’ve dropped a few
On some fat asses
Seeing through bad glasses
Because the cash is tragic
Wish I could flash like magic
And have mad stacks kid
But I’m too busy looking back
At what I last did
Actors left me with baggage
And had me sign for the package
Actually I didn’t order this
They more than disappeared
Left me lonely as orphanage
But of course I morphed to fix
Wow I’m oaring up the river.
Styx, suck my fucking dick
Bitch suck my fucking dick
Dylan suck my fucking dick
Kale suck my fucking dick
All you are’s a bunch of tricks
Other Dylan suck my dick
Tyler suck my fucking dick
Mike suck my fucking dick
Put it in the air don’t smother it
I know Sarah done sucked a bunch of dicks
I guarantee I got more reach than all them other kids
Logan suck my fucking dick
Brandon suck my fucking dick
Brett suck my fucking dick
I know your fat ass can stomach it
Herman suck my fucking dick
You left me without money just a kid
Tommy suck my fucking dick
For promising shit
Sean can suck my fucking dick
Because he’s just a pussy
And I’m bound to profit off my shit
Born for you to book me
Prerogative mistook me never
Groggy in sunny weather
Popular when I’m not myself
It makes me wonder
What everyone else is up to
Instead I’m yelling fuck you
Cause I don’t wanna suck like you

Feet moving forward like a tape
Mind goin’ backward like a tape
Still feel sweet like a grape and you’ll always know our
Beats go apeshit like an ape, fuck the fake shit
Keep it 800 for the mates, know i ain’t shit
Yet but we stay on the way, towards greatness
I know sometimes future me won’t relate to this
But it’s okay, it’s the cycle for my shapeshifts
Remember bliss with the ex that i texted
Now a skeleton in the closet with the rest of them
We were excellent, now it’s just me excellin’
Wish her well, how she doin’? I can never tell
‘Cause I ain’t seen no one in months but i’m
With my nigga Pete and we smoking on blunts
We went to the bar performed old shit for fun
They dunno noire, but it’s so close to us
So far, the rise to the top been
Slow but i never lost that feeling that we’ll
Blow, ‘cause we put in work
Left brain helping right foot out the dirt
Tryna let em know that they should raise their worth but
I gotta set example, even if it hurt
Freedom in the art from bleeding through the shirt
6 feet apart from the snakes in the garden
But we so sick, and i’m not just saying that
‘Cause i’m toasted, i just have faith that rap
Is my onus, gotta stay statin’ facts
Let you know this: you can do it too
Don’t change your mood for the crew, your
View can only come from you, gotta
Prove you got something to prove, and know the
Truth can only work with truth
Moves ain’t even for certain
You can’t put the work in?
You can’t even bump my shit?
Your brain is shut
I put my all in it
Calling this my passion
It breaks the walls down
Breaks the ice
Most of the time
People say it’s nice
But I wish they gave more
Than just one thought
They got a one track mind
Since I’m not on the box
They don’t care till I die
Or sellout the garden
I beg your pardon?
Put it through your eyes
Your picture’s wallet sized
I’m painting art bitch
Not even ogling prizes
I just want love
And to be better at
Making the art up
Without making shit up
I’m giving you just a taste of my strut
You couldn’t rock my chucks
You’re not close enough to us

Need Not Be Discussed

I don’t know how many times
I’ve gotta say it
I wish somebody would buy
My fucking tapes
But just in case you weren’t convinced
That I was staying
Here’s my logic over bass
I think that I can do
What you do
But I’d do it better
In fact I’d never wanna do
What you can do
You think you’re mister cool
But I just think you missed the letter
The one that told you
That you should’ve stayed in school
Not close to my competitor
You’re less than regular
If you think my shit isn’t clever
Need to read forever
I’m the whole team and the director
Still interject and pester
But never lose a test that I was betting on
I’ll get it
Won’t even sweat it
I’ll just put my head in it
My regimen
I’m definitely better than
The one you call the best
I guess I’ll never win
Wish you could tell it
He does less
But gets all the credit
Seems it’s worth the effort
But only to myself
Well said it
