I’m tired of living in my skin
I feel like a washed up hasbeen
Looking for the day I can go beat up the sun
The day is won, well that was fun
Lately i’ve been feeling sick
Offspring grow up so quick
I just wanna stay out and hope the garden shows
All that i’ve done
Cause I don’t wanna walk with you
Cause all the things you’d put me through
Yeah I know it’s been a little while
And i’ll do all the things to (see you smile x3)
Well I know a...
I’m thinking I should call it quits?
*Woah*
Hold up stop the bullshit
Take a look at yourself
Write it out, let it show, drop it off, hold your breath
I’ll let you know
If we’re leading on dismissal
Lies ruin lives like the missiles
Well I just have to say~ it
I don’t wanna run with you
Cause all the shit you put me through
Yeah young nigga in while
That prove all the things put (in denial x3)
Well I don’t wanna run with you
All i’m sayin is, don’t be hard on yourself
Cause all the pain goes to the sky
And still they wait to see you smile, see you smiling
OH! God is a
Well I don’t wanna run with you
All i’m sayin is, don’t be hard on yourself
Cause all the pain goes to the sky
So go and find the, loving sun somewhere else
I don’t really wanna run with you
Just wanna hear you say, give love to something real
Cause all the pain goes to the sky
And still they wait to see you smile, see you smiling
Oh God is a…….God is a reptile

Pray, Move On

Nothing was done
Let it stay in the sun
You just pray move on x2
And I hope it was fun
We’re not saying no one
You just pray move on x2

All Night Long

Well right away I can spend all day
Finding words that resemble the pain
Cause lifes too short
Play the game, win the sport, it’s the goal
We all run to, engrained
Well Tides go wave, watch the world drift away
Making love, making money unshared
Cause there’s a time and place
I hope we all win the race
it’s enough to stay~up all night
Up up up all all night x4
Poverty, pulled outta me
So cold and just left in the trash
The seven seas, we killed the reefs
They’re home to our old plastic bags
Where are the bees? Don’t lie to me
They choke on the smoke from our planes
Society, Grow outta reach
The woes from the past come in waves
And if you think the light will turn on over night and day
Just take a look out in this world, let's start this right away
Let's start today, let's save the day cmon x2
Love again

Just because you grew up in a dream
Don’t mean, no harm no foul
People don’t go out of their way
To see the world on fire
Pre Hook
Because they’re giving what you wanna do to you
Giving what you wanna do right
Giving what you wanna do to you
Giving what you can’t fight
Hook
So let’s just put some houses by the rivers
Where anyone can go, for a living
Even if you’re broke you’re forgiven
I’m just sayin (give it a chance) x2
Just let me see some homes with the views
Where anyone can grow like one of you
Even if they don’t take a stance
I’m just sayin (Give it a chance) x2
We’re drifting fast our souls enslaved
Hope you enjoy the ride
But why, oh why do we choose this denial
That takes away our pride
Cause I’m feeling something inside
Everyday just moved on, never finding love
Still I try, with everyday we’re living
Find a way to push on
Shine the light above
Back to Pre Hook
Back to Hook
Bridge
I’m just looking to the future
I’m not looking to the past
I just wanna see the healing, grieving, feeling, breathin
What is the meaning?
I’m not thinkin bout the future
We can’t go down that path
Cause i’m just rooted in the here the now, the black, the brown
The truth, the sun of what's to come so
Back to the hook

Love has got me fucked up
I’m without luck and it seems
That i’m too divided, just one sided
Yup that’s me
Cause there’s no hiding place
Outta faith
Just let me take you for a little while, girl
There’s no hiding place, out of phase
I’m hoping that we’ll find a better way, there~
If you wanted, just go and get by
If only you could decide
Oooh real wrecking real, just tell me what’s the deal
It won't do
Instead I got my head to the floor as you ask me what for?
Is it true?
There’s no hiding place, out of space
I wanna see this in a new light, love~
Just don’t let these wandering dreams hurt you
I hope that you can wait by
All this time is spent, now forget
How do we close out this distance now?
Whatever you want me to do for you, if only you can decide
Oooh real wrecking real, just tell me what’s the deal
It won't do
Instead I got my head to the floor as you ask me what for?
Is it true? X2
Love~ what is love?~ love

Cash Money got me, so good
Rolling paper like I should~ (Tell me)
Don’t worry bout your skin type
If your hands in the bucket we gon be alright~
It’s kinda funny (What's kinda funny?)
I’m feelin low (So low?)
Red and blue show, time to go
It aint easy, to get high
With all these white folks in power
Dats my kryptonite~
Maybe we should just back it up x3
All people can just back it on, is that enough? (Repeat)
Cast over, yeah it’s all the same
So confused they got no one to blame
Now fast forward just keep your, skin tight
If it’s pain over losing, maybe I don’t mind
(codeswitch)
Well fuck, come down and support poor communities
Help define balance, make better opportunities
This train of thought might be bad for your health
When you can’t afford a ticket cause the payment is wealth
How come we can’t find jobs that help support freedoms
Change these litigations, abolish the cops don’t need em
It’s kinda sad, but that’s the way that it goes
I guess this life be really like that. Well damn
Confused? Still enslaved by the brother hand (Big brother’s hands)
Abused? You’d be white in the motherland (Say what?)
Who would’ve thought that it comes from the past
When you don’t know what is left cause your rights go fast
(well what about you then?)
Oh me? It starts in education
Left out the room, lost in imagination
Single out non conformity
Just leave em outta the majority
(So why don’t you get the fuck out then?)
Cause I’m damned if I do, damned if i’m not (Chosen)
You can pick the spot, you can pick the spot (Go down)
And tell the whole damn crew livin in tiny rooms
They can give up on their problems oh look at you
You think you know all of the drama but you fit the type (chow down)
Cause niggas run around like “we gon be alright” (Jonestown)
While it goes with seasons for no fuckin reason
While 8 miles make money off this shit
Soooo
Go back, relearn, never too late look at me by myself
Just go back and don’t wait for me
Turn back, no home, no confusion go and live your life
Just go back it’s too late for me x2
Just back it up, maybe we can just back it up~

With the sun up high and the rain never lettin up
In the end just let my people shine x2
Jay
I’m just fighting for the shades and the colours
Half assed one thing, fast tracked the other
Cause it’s too hard to keep my head straight
Unless I go 4 days, 5 dates, rackin up the real estate
Now stack up your shoes, showcase your tans
Never mind just hide light of blessing who I am
I could just go down to miami and get my head beat
By a stalkin hillbo that hates kneelin athletes
Well I don’t know who needs to hear it
They run the whole world now, but we’re not gettin comfortable
Hide your head, no need to block your sorrows
I bet they had a lot of bright ideas, god rest their souls
Hands in the air so they don’t start
The feels that i feel got me so far
But we keep buzzing through the seasons
Like we’re black and yellows
Then watch the feed drop everyday it’s all the same
It’s not too late to stop this~
With the sun up high and the rain never lettin up
In the end just let my people shine x4
It’s not too late to stop this~
“I don’t even know what to say man, yenno I really do wish I was more of a poet, i’m tripped up, truly I don’t really know what the fuck is going on these days. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. Shit’s confusing right now. Yenno imma stop talking, i’m gonna let my boy Kin say somethin”
Mckinley
Charcoal covers my skin,
Running through the night,
Wonder where I end and begin
My gods were killed by those that wrote what tied em to the ground,
Then claimed that there ain’t enough worship to all go around
How that work,
In the mirror tall,
with my lil stance,
Copy papa look,
Could kill you wit a glance,
Saying sorry to my youngins in advance,
Grown man til my auntie ask me do my little dance,
Hard bottoms clickin in this place of worship,
Praying these wings can hold enough to halt the falls inertia,
But the ground is getting closer,
Yellin why this isnt workin,
Flailing arms,
These words can’t come out,
before I hit the earth and,
Breathe nigga breathe,
Woke up sweating,
What it mean, what it mean,
The prollem with this pain,
Is that a nigga must react,
I’m only doin this so when you running,
Sun could hit yo back,
Like
Word?
What’s the word?
What’s the word,
What’s the word? What's the word?
Jay
Well well well
The word is on the street, the problems we see, come forward then collapse
This ain’t no mishap just open your eyes ACAB
Mckinley
My Oops end up like Doodlebop
Erased when that pen touch the note pad top
Then forgot bout when the next episode drop
It’s crazy
my niggas might block ya shots
Jay
It’s so shameful like all these white folks in dreadlocks
Is it the truth? The Lie? The wealth disguised as humble lies cut through the tides
I can’t tell
Mckinley
Scarecrow
Light Em up,
Watch me burn,
Whose neck,
Is next,
Getting stepped on,
If they don’t respect,
The young boys with S up on they chest
Jay
Instead of burying all these young men in their sunday best for real
It’s not too late to stop this~
With the sun up high and the rain never letting up
In the end just let my people shine x5
“Just don’t don’t forget it, don’t don’t forget it, say their names”

(Na na na na na na na na na, I miss you, I missed you, I missed youth) x4
Leaning on my teacher today, nearly knocked my head around
Another useless Thursday, I see, some hopeful side of me because
We’re going to double B’s this Friday, that always turns my mood around
Is this the game we’re playing?
Shy goals and outer dreams because
I hope that we can stay together I missed youth~
(Na na na na na na na na na, I missed you x2 I missed youth) x4
We wouldn’t go to church on Saturday
I couldn’t get my head around
Jesus give me some peace
Cause out coasting out of sync
So, when we come to see you Sunday
It always turns my head around
Useless to think somethings but i’ll prove another day
Because, I know that these things are changing x2
Well I feel so stupid stupid x8
Looking down at your feet
Hope that they’ll wait on me
Smiling hides in your fields
No one can say there’s no will
Hope that they’ll never leave, hope that they wait to see
Smiling swell at your heels cause all i’m thinking is
What about love?
Let me just prove to you, I don’t know the god you love
It’s never really gonna be anything you’re not above
Let me just prove to you, all the flowers bring good luck
It’s never really gonna be anything you’ve gotta show
Let me just prove to you…
Look I know that you’re healing, so aren’t you happy?
I am gone ~ I am (I know x3) you will never falter
No no no no
I know x3 you will never crumble. Noooo~
I am gone ~ I am (I know x3) you will never wander. Noooo~
I am gone ~ I am (I know x3) you’ll be okay.
(I know x3) you’re gonna be okay ~
(I know x3) that you’re healing, you’re gonna be okay

I am your mind boi
Pour me out some whine boi
I can take your sadness, all your kindness, all of your joy
Knock knock knock
Don’t mean to run up on your spot
I know you’re looking for some purpose
No you won’t be coming here a lot
So stop all that pain within, stop all dat “I’m okay, you’re fine”
Bending over backwards overcome that cause I am your mind
Real talk, you need to wake up or get got
Before the sun comes out and beats your ass for lying in the plot
I’m gone~
If you’re healing, you’re gonna be okay
If you’re feeling down

Dearly parted
Thanks for all the fears i’ve met
Dearly parted
It’s over, guess i’ll see you in the next life
I’m hopeful you’ll be acting right
Dearly parted
Stay right there and watch me grow
Dearly parted
It’s over, but i’ll let you know it’s my time now
So circle in your roundabout
Well I~ just wanna thank you
For the best years of my life
When I finally bloom, i’ll shock ya
There’s some loneliness that follows
But the best is yet to come
Just wanna let you know that x 2
Cause the best is yet to come x2
Here’s hoping time will help when feeling low
Here’s hoping it’s not that bad thinking you’re in heaven now
So i’ll just keep my head up in the clouds
Seems hard to go down roads i’ve never known
Seems hard to flow forward
Not thinking about what happens now?
But imma do my best to make you proud
Well I~ just wanna thank you
For the best years of my life
When I finally bloom, i’ll shock ya
There’s some loneliness that follows
But the best is yet to come
Just wanna let you know that x 2
Just keep your head up in the clouds
Look forward, don’t stop, just grow on
Cause the best is yet to come x3
