Please put the battery
back in my back
I’m backing up fast
while hacking up hash
I turned it to ash
I need a new bag
I’m back to that
what a drag
Aw dag
he’s dressed in snags
again
he’s caught
not a brag
retards
not a lad
he got round left
all of em left
‘cept the real ones
but they far
not a shit gave
crashing my car
homies since day one
stick to the phone
bumps and hassles
y’all stay in the yard
I know that I got a place to call home
I wanna roam and stay
at the same time whoa
can’t make up my dome
I wanted to break my phone
I was just chasing a ghost
I was amazing the most
you wasn’t taking the time
meanwhile they taking my dime
I wanna make em a toast
drink from the tears from my eye
I wanna make em recline
but I know I’m it supposed to
I was so hopeful why
getting too close
to the flame in my mind
memories roasting
I’m stoking the fire
I’m getting higher and higher
I’m not getting high anymore
that’s not by choice
I can’t stop
long enough to enjoy it
friends with the pot
but right now I’m annoying him
and he’s been avoiding me damn
as tough as I am
touching my hands
that’s disappointing to me
drinking the poison to sleep
waking up later than lamps
impatience making me cramp
gets harder to take a stand
government giving me grands
what is the catch
I know it’s there
I thought nobody really even cared
I have no problem breathing
in the evening air
without you demons near
I had to buff up my muscles from ear to ear
now I be chuckling but struggles are there
no need to juggle my troubles I’m aware
but how many things can you not really bare
what does that bring you and why don’t you share
why don’t stop if it’s not fair
why don’t you take every problem you have
and escape it
you know all the answers are out there
being home low chance to amount to something
doing nothing is doubting the competition
do not dare
dead wood feeds
shit you can’t see
but it’s out there
said books need
not look past
you learned to count
you made accounts
and trust your feed
but you won’t feed your mind
it’s just a seedling down their
ways gotta change
it’s already strange to me
so why not give it a day
and play it out they’re
not elated what I’m bout swear
I gotta have a different way to paint it
need a straighter canvas
I’m okay with being pained
if I can put it on a pane or ledger
Music’s my pain and pleasure
Immeasurable how it gains momentum
but it’s welcome
I seldom be without it
training treasure
and even if it’s not my measures
I feel every texture
I sit and listen to the lectures
of the giants whose shoulders I stand on
can’t tell me the man wrong

I’m good friends with the florist
His record is a little porous
singing my chorus
while you chumps ignore us
I’ve been in the forest
ditched the Taurus
well she ditched me
fuck that bitch anyway
I’ll drink plenty henny buddy
anybody wanna come for me
do so vicariously
I could care less
apparently
I'm blessed
I’m carrying glee
but depression’s
still aware of me
so I press the marry
with the pressured heat
messing up the beat
so you think
with your pea brain
stepping up the street
bumping my own
puffing trees
forgetting where I’m going
but that’s obsolete
getting where I’m going
isn’t top priority for me
regretting what I know
is what taught me the lessons
I failed to see
I’m jailed you leave
you bailed I see
everyday I peak
and sweep valley streams
I still hear your ghastly screams
but you said you’re proud of me
taking every step
I oughta now
not thinking next
so life ain’t watered down
I’m coming for the neck
to slaughter every
common clown
and to be talking bout my sound
it is awesome now
so play it loud
or keep playing ‘round
cause I found it
so I don’t need to be wound up
on your count kids
talking bout this
thinking bout that
I’m the only one who’s proud
when the screen turns black

Sun up
the light glow
I might throw up
fuck
tug the maestro
psych
I’m the psycho
who’s writing
the tight flow
and with my own mic
I’m striking
while the iron’s hot
less motivated cause the pot
someday I’d like to stop
but for now I’m not
I’m caught up in a knot
from having naught
but if this was my last thought
I had a lot
actually
gradually getting better
at these rhapsodies
went from writing letters
to tragedies
but with every faculty
I have left
I have to have the last laugh
funny thing is you can’t graph that
but most people can grasp that
you feel flat when you feel bad
and when you feel sad
just gotta feel that
until you ready to
open up that steel trap
and deal with facts
ain’t appealing
or attractive
but don’t let it hold you captive
Gotta steer
be your own captain
and fear can make you cap size
gotta be adaptive
even when the waves massive
especially then actually
retroactive
ain’t an option
when you on your last whim
you’re gonna get tackled
better be ready for it
six millions ways
to be betting you’re impervious
with no courtesy kick
just the bucket
you wanna come and get that
unlucky
I’m just tryna
get these fucking five
strings plucking
and if I keep sucking
that’s the way it’s gonna be
till they’re bugging me
asking me to play that
get a little bass man
but with no paycheck
I’ll be happily free
just for my family
Treat me right
Don't treat me wrong
There's a light
In all my songs

Scrumptious
Munching up the piff
puff
the fuck I did
forgot
I must’ve hit
too hard
on the pot
what’s worse is maybe not
fuck
dusted fuck the spot
duck the cops watch
tuck the watch
don’t know who’s watching
hunger dropped my options
cartons hardened that
but my carhartt hat
hides a smart cap
I get far with that
might get farther back
I ain’t a father
so don’t bother with that
telling me I gotta cut off a stack
crap
yeah
I ain’t even paying for a test
if a chest pops up questioning
call dead dropped
don’t head to my spot
cause I got enough
facts to crack
that trash whack
ass commoners
into the carpet
her brash attacks
all glass
I smash that
and bask in grass
keep my basket packed
With enough freedom to keep my passion jacked
Line em up a brought a bottle with me
all these fucking tricks
all this fucking shit
fucking with me
fuck
but I’m the shit
fucking really
I keep a hundred fucking problem
silencers tucked with me
I dump henny
something chilly
I can give em what they want
but they want a milly
fuck an Emmy
fuck a Grammy
y’all don’t understand me
If they ever give me the gold
I’mma go kill my family
fuck em
and while I’m fucking em
I’m digging in their guts
make em spill they lunch
give a pistol punch
miss me with the
missile
missing us
not likely
cause otherwise I’d be in the spot
and you’d be nice to me
I’d rather get to slitting
with some ice
your eyes can see
I’m shiesty
I want the whole pie
that’s just for me
it’s mine to eat
you want a last line?
suck my cock you little pussy

They thought I was pussy
you do what you can for the goodie bag
I put in work for the footy
go ahead and overlook goofy man
I don’t read bios
leak files
or other cheap scams
I don’t need fans
I got weekend plans
I don’t freak and lie awake
needing xans
I don’t Peter Pan
I don’t even mind
being a man
I just weed to stand
I just beat off
and left a piece on a Stan
I’m a pretty sure he’s a cop
but I bleached my hands
come on P why you gotta do em like that
cause they thought I was pussy
and I’m far from a rookie
you shook to ran
if I don’t like him
I never shook his hand
if he ain’t bumping
then don’t book the man
I’m plucking nugs off
of the cookie strain
I’ll clip your nuts off
and push to your brain
oh wait it’s absent
I don’t need to play classics
I do make my graphics
and give a fat shit
about my craft bitch
I don’t stay on my mattress
when the clock go off
it’s just time to stack riches
you don’t need to act bitchy
I’ll just laugh like Richie
but
with the heart of a Lionel
very likeable
and still very tribal
I’ll hit your spinal
They said I couldn't do it

made a lot of turns
you can’t turn me back
on reverb
he purchased that
he learned to tap
man of earth
with a worldly cap
discouraging
dirty rats
what a journey had
attorney’s adjourning
and I’m mourning bad
morning of the clash
bet you had your ass on my cock
wasn’t even the last shot
could’ve been but clearly has not
how many logs you got
out loud
riddling them off
telling everyone I did
and that you did not
my stomach gets knots
telling these stories
no more he feels trapped
but lost
his path’s
is criss-crossed
tryna get his shit off
when he lifts off
there’ll be a billion
is his rich pocket
giving it to impoverished
non profit
nah stop it
I can’t lie
like I wouldn’t piss away dollars
taking these fuckers by the collar
but when I ease off that I’ll be a scholar
chord progressions obsessing
Begging for the encore
cause since I was a sophomore
I’ve had more talent
In my left elbow
than you have in your family
bottom of the memo
read out
you can’t stand me
left on read yell out
fuck I can’t stand these types
I don’t know where I wanna be tonight
all I know of Peter’s fucking weird
but his beats are tight
and it’s not the gear
anytime
he stepped up to steer
he goes out there

Ever since Nino died
I’ve been losing my mind
ain’t been using
I’m tired
I’ve been tryna re-wire myself
on a steep climb
jealous that you sleep fine
so I guess
while I get no rest
even cess won’t ease my mind
I don’t wanna keep time
wish FL could read my mind
I don’t wanna put the effort in
but here I am making expert spins
and I’m gonna be fine
hard to see sometimes
when I’m low on dimes
I just gotta read the signs
they say
they stay
far away
I’m a way
that I ain’t never been
not so great
not too bad
got some traits
that you could never get
god helped me
I’m healthy
not wealthy but
not quite empty
I got some empathy
even though no friends with me
this ain’t the end of me
no this trough won’t kick me off
I had to paddle for a bit
by rattling my lips
now whose ass you wanna kiss
exactly
vastly underestimate
my savvy
chew em like taffy
that seems to make em happy
never throw em at me
just make sure it gets to me
bitch no risk for the
limp wrist flea flicker
assisted by a dick licker
who need liquor
oh shit
he’s pulling out every stop
sitting at the bottom
of the clock
like a rock that you threw
but soon I’ll be through with it
stupid kids
I’mma boost my influence
no longer seduced by your illusions
I got loops and some complex shit
you got a complex bitch
they stay
far away
I’m a way
that I ain’t never been
not so great
not too bad
got some traits
that you could never get
god helped me
I’m healthy
not wealthy but
not quite empty
I got some empathy
even though no friends with me
this ain’t the end of me
no this trough won’t kick me off

It's Not The Destination
03:24

I wanna try but you hide me away
you wanna sigh at what I got to say
I could put time in. Mine led astray
I took to crying shook you got away
I’m like your spine at the end of the day
tired but I don’t get to re-straighten
I don’t jest I’ve seen death my bones aching
and my friends all say
climb up a line that you set far away
all of the time won’t get to your brain
act like you’re training for the Olympics
read through the hieroglyphics in the way
I really bought
me a time capsule
of thoughts
I’ll keep writing on all of the walls
I think Vicodin’s what I want
but I don’t need the doc
it’s just dark today
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
we just good at learning
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
he must keep a pack on him
Pete’s off his tree chart
crossed I’m beat
lost the beat in my heart
how can I be smart
when she’s part of it
she’s what I covet
like the key to my car
I don’t need to be hard
but I’m keeping my guard
I’m not supposed to be charmed
but I’m legally scarred
plus some c’s dropped my OG
but he’s in g’s yard
no bars to need pardons
Rest In Peace god
I need fog
it seems odd
I love it
theme song
is making these dreams prolong
my weak spots
I don’t even need the pot
but it keeps the demons from out my top
I get stronger with ever chop
but maybe I need to stop
nah
I’m strategic unorthodox
I need to port it to the box
I can’t just
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
gotta keep adjusted to stack firmer
can’t just
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
every beat and track I’ll murder

I won’t try to take long, I won’t take long
We have a lot of patience, I can’t take it
Just a guy, maybe a god, shout out franko
I’m so tired of the chase for what they say so
I’m in my spaceship so alien
Mind my radiance, It’s just the truth
Mind my radiance, It’s just the truth
Mind my radiance, It’s just the truth
and you’re never gonna get
back the time
that you spent
on my mind
no respect
no rewind either
hey Peter
can you be my side dick
get you hypnotized quick
before you can find shit about me
doubting me
not likely
you excited see
yes your eyes glow brightly
hold you tightly
then I might leave
what the fuck you expect
this finite thing
came to the only conclusion
someone could write she
split
after sucking my friends dicks
the ones I was supposed to be friends with
plus a homie is dead, R.I.P.
I gotta quit this habit
of feeling sorry
for myself
because it wasn’t all a party
on my side of things
didn’t have the inner wealth
to seek the smartness of my wings
and it got harder not to bring it up
so why’d I dig it up
I ended up with some cuffs
but I got a bigger luck
I had to sift through the stuff
I was missing when sticking to tough
and I’m still lifting up
I’ve afflicted and roughed
don’t wanna be admitted
so I’m committed
to being addicted to love
I can’t give enough

Wipeout
02:53
|
|||
Shred the tortured soul
in your eye
Stretch for more control
And grab ahold
The key to your mind
no need to load it with time
if you’re not growing it
it folds and wilts
you’ll notice declines
you ain’t consoling yourself
you’ll keep approaching inclines
without the spine to climb them
I peeped a hole in my high
one that was dark with no hymen
it kept me lonely inside
but if I had to do it over again
I couldn’t say what I’d do
that shit is over my friend
close it
wipe off the wipeouts
there’ll be more of them
but sunny shores
will follow them
look for tomorrow when
you’re looking up
thinking how can I do this
perseverance gotta be ruthless
to chew through it
wipeout
it’s all fluid
it’s deep rooted
we’ve been swimming forever
you always knew it
just stick to treading
endeavors always a Nuisance
man skip the noose
and get on your shit
you ain’t stupid
what you got left
everything that you had before
you lost your balance
but look what’s back
practically got a floor
practice that shit some more
tragedies don’t ignore
but keep on breathing bro
for all we know
happiness right around the corner
weather every single storm
like a stoner
take it on your shoulder
wake up as you get older
you’ll make it soldier
even without the closure
from the fake posers
patience can break a Boulder
I wanna take this moment
to embrace the fragrance
it’s my great odor
the smell of telling my own story
this crazy roller coaster
that I’m hosting now
most of you would boast about
but I doubt you quoting facts
bet you got ghosts to sound
out every syllable on your SoundCloud
sad thing is you got the clout wow
that’s okay to a surfer
I gotta ride the wave
y’all can crash in my wake
one day
I’ll catch a murder
for these tapes
wipe off the wipeouts
there’ll be more of them
but sunny shores
will follow them
look for tomorrow when
you’re looking up
thinking how can I do this
perseverance gotta be ruthless
to chew through it
wipeout
it’s all fluid
it’s deep rooted
we’ve been swimming forever
you always knew it
just stick to treading
endeavors always a Nuisance
man skip the noose
and get on your shit
you ain’t stupid

Said oh my gosh they need you back
but they wasn’t keeping my back
so it was peace to that
I don’t need to track down
every piece that fell off your cleats
on that track I backed down off
but on my bounce back
admittedly it took a little bit
plenty offense intended
I took a little bit
now nobody can tell me that I ain’t shit
I ain’t hearing you bitch
I’m busy steering the ship
I’m comfortable just clearing the shelf
I wonder if you’re hearing this shit
I’m humble knowing I’m growing
but my patience still isn’t really that thick
I’m doubling my funds
and still adhering to this
I’m cheering at the finish line
you kids will never diminish my mind
however sensitive it is to fish in this pond
the flick of my wand is heavy
block the negative energy
cause to me you’re nothing more than a memory
so I’ll
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
too steep I can’t act further
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
keep it on the back burner
to me it’s all laughs now it’s your turn
The brakes off to who knows where
I’ll mistake your scoffs for something more fair
I’m a ship taking off in the night air
I’ll just repaint the cockpit
till it ain’t toxic
I’m carsick now
it’s actually comical
the comic book series
on its last chronicle
I’m docking you two
my mocking me too
and it’s not that I can’t stop
cause I’m fooled
it’s that I hopped
in the pool
and liked
that you cocks
wasn’t liking the school either
striking up conversations
and lighting up spooled refer
fighting the cruel meter
of time together
but when my weather
wasn’t seeming right
we stopped seeing eye to eye
so you said peace my guy
and that brought a tear to my eye
or several
inspired my profession
so now I’m a profesional
I just had to grit my teeth and eat my vegetables
deleting you cats for the deceiving
and maxing my decibels
he’s in the lead
and y’all wreak
like cheese and dirty genitals
I’m the key like the perfect chemical
the skeptics can lick my testicles
I’m only giving the best to you
Mind on a trip I can’t step away just through
my fist wanna lift but I just grew
so what the fuck I’m gonna do that for
I’m more than just a product on the App Store
I’m pouring out my heart and you just wanna act or
ignore me before you get the chance to listen
don’t even glance the christening is right here
y’all don’t fight fair
that shit is sickening
never took a bite and yet petitioning
key not even in ignition and
you ran
such a fucking scam
scrammed and ditched him
man y’all bitches
damn

I’m
Making plans to see my shadow
hoping I don’t duck out
thinking my luck’ll run out
my
Shaky hands play the piano
and have my man play the fucking drums
we don’t care if you think we’re bums
roll the kush with my sticky thumbs
tryna push down the shit
that’s been stuck in my cranium
feeling so alien
lately
I know they hate me son
wanna take me down
wanna stake me in my back
on my downtime
and I’m the crazy one?
Everything I do is on purpose
everything you think you know
you thought was useful
but it is worthless
look past my surface
or don’t search for that on google
why you so frugal with your mind
hiding the jewels in your mine
you know they’re useful
but you’re not using your pupils right
pushing it to the side
I was busy with do or die
so when the hookah died down
my hue and vibe drowned
wanted to die
but my shoes are tied now
don’t worry
eyes still blurry
but what the fuck
am I gonna do about that
I gotta move on to the next path
I got a tuner and a deck of pads
a can of tuna with some bread to match
I’m chill with that and raps
eyes peeled to catch the traps
no shield just steadfast
these eels can’t get passed me
coming in dead last
humming my ten best songs
these prawns can’t break me
if I go long it’s a safety
you ain’t no Tom Brady
you know my mom helped shape me
and she’s no artist
you said you’d always see the great in me
but now you’re the farthest
Admittedly had some latency
In regards to being honest
I know I promised you shit
and then tarnished it
so now you’re unharnessed
How does it feel to be beyond the margin
But still a common ass kid
with some glass problems
you could just smash and demolish it
but you’re polishing that nonsense
know what I’m sayin
stop it
it’s obvious
Can you get what you want
and not ask for it
Can’t even act like savant
I’m so passed restoring
at least my past ain’t boring
I’m sorting through all the ash
to broadcast the story
I’m more than moving
like a ball passed
and catch to score it
I’m seeing flashes like my path shorted
fuck being fractured I’ll attach, morphing
I’m P-Tree actually warranted this time
Peace to Nino laughing
see more in the next life
either way I’m happy
recorded his sick lines
wished he had a stage to spit em
but we was playing
the ether hey
we’ll see greener days
and crazy women
we’ll write screenplays
and people’ll pay for em
the evil will stay awoken
but we got game tokens
it’s only sprained not broken
look what we gain from the spoken
so keep your spokes spinning
and peep the whole image
can’t get ahold of this
just keep on floating in it
you’ll free your boat flipped
and get back coasting in it
cold and you’ll shiver
but shit
flow with the river
and kid
your soul will deliver you
don’t let this bullshit get rid of you
gotta be incredible
before you regret it go
before you know
you’ll be posted
in a quick check
making minimal checks
as your typical best
while watching criminals
get integers
you can’t even pronounce
and getting into your house
is a miracle every time that you’re out
don’t even doubt that shit
just prove me wrong
and get up out that shit
so many mountains to flip
but many more clips
to click with
the fountain is rich
unless you counting every sitch
as a bitch that you can’t switch
which
worsens it
every memory hurts
when you thirst for it
gotta learn to cherish it first
before it is curtains, fin
over, no go for it
gotta learn to be bold
if you wanna be golden kid

Day done
I wanna see the rain come
I wanna watch the red rays
fade to grey
I think I’ll stay numb
I’m often shaky
from something
I don’t think it’s haze hun
but I’m not the expert. Here
get a taste of rum
I’m taking dumb chances
frustrated
finances breaking
my stamina ain’t amazing
I complain
as I change the race
I want a stand in
But no damn stan
Could touch my stanzas
all the crooks missing passes
cause I took away all their glasses
We live at the edge of the miraculous
and the sun sets again
For the third time today
Orange and gold
The days are longer
Drive all over town
It's here
I might die today, this might be the last song I make
Got headphones on deck, tryna make the next tape
Gotta ventilate, god and gotta demonstrate
Product of the greats, watch piñatas try to hate
I’m forgotten, got ex-partners from nostalgic brain
I’m just tryna skate, whole crew full of soulful legends
Making history through beats, a knot’s the lock to heaven’s gates

Son, I’m tired, I need to get away
The sun’s tired of my getaways
Was born to white trash ghetto ways
I want wipe that away
but the stain’s in my face
everyday
I’m praying you hear what I say
I’m sorry for the pain
I’m sorry for the way I played you
I wish everyday
I could’ve saved you
some brain
but I picked heavy rain
I couldn’t change to the dude
you was angling to
I was mostly trained rude
had a screwed up frame
and I put the blame on you
my hue got dangerously blue
and I put fingers to you
in the face
can never take it back
ain’t that the truth
like a crude tattoo
and I’m a douche bag
on this boom bap
Got enough raps
to fill a book bag
But not enough sack
to look back and not miss you
I only wish you well
with your new fella lately
cause I done lost the right to call you baby
I’m sorry for the way I treated you
but now you know that there’s nothing we can do
I’m lonely looking outside the leaves are blue
I’m done with weeks and weekends too
I’m only looking for the one who believed it too
I know it’s heard when your heart is cleaved in two
I don’t wanna beat your heart I’m seeking new times
we both got new rides
I hope we have a good time
no such thing as redemption
mostly people mention
me in a negative context
and I don’t blame em
there’s no contention
I made thinking obsessing
I turned everything I did
into a reason I’m not going to heaven
but eventually I rose with a lesson
I can’t grow without mistakes
gotta answer some questions
When I hooked up with a Kay
you both thought you got manipulated
but only one of you was right
you’re thinking “save it”
and again I can’t blame you
it’s the logical thing
but I had plenty of thoughts
on both sides of the swing
love is an awkward thing
that stings plenty
and when you’re knocked out the ring
you feel empty
not just a kid living out my early twenties
I got a lot that needs forgiving
but you don’t need to accept me
that’s not your burden to bare for me
but the love is always somewhere
of that, I’m aware honey
