Embers of my youth, doused. 
Remembering the truth, route all my energies towards paying bills. 
No more cheap thrills, but I can still count all my day one homies.
   
I hope they be doin alright. 
I hope they be gettin' good bread. 
I hope they can still rise and fight (the good one)

Demons in my head, sayin' hi and good bye
Deepenin' depression, saw my eyes I can't lie
Reasons are repressed with a laugh and a smile 
Seasons be changin' and I'm left out to dry

I suppose you already know about holes in my boat
But you know that I can't impose on you
Can you forgive me tho if I implore on you? 

I used to have a dream of a better life.
Used to be a bright beam, a ray of light.  
I wanna have all the things, but in hindsight 
I'm spiraling to madness cos I'm chasing on a white lie

I've been tricking my self that I can do it on my own 
But the weight of my thoughts, have been eating up my bones
I've been suffering, alone.
The pot of gold was nothing but dirt and stones That I've been casting on my self 
(stupid fucking ass)
I made a song in 2017 exactly 'bout this thing
but now I know it stings when nobody wanna sing with me.

So let me try my best to correct this shit 
I'll do the rest, dressed like I'mma kill this shit
Puffed chest, no stress, I don't need a permit
To paint the town red, with my fucking...

(time that we cannot buy, time that we can't afford)

Lyrics:
Am I a slave of my body? Am I a slave of my mind?
Am I a part of reality or an illusion like time?
Cause I been asking questions, do you get em like mine?
Am I worth all the shine? Some days I don’t feel perfectly fine.

My insanity isn’t an accessory, it molded me
Bring clarity to my mental capacity, ya feelin me?
And demons be my enemy, and they be lookin heavenly.
Invading my anatomy but the sanctity of my spirituality be heavy,

Going steady, always ready, On a jeepney, bumpin Kweli,
Style on me, vibe with me.
Are you ready for the change?
Maybe

Slowing down the pace, my heartbeat starts to raise
And I been prayin, aimin, that our race won’t get erased.
I learn from your mistakes, for that lemme say thanks.
The light ignites with lines on fire let’s get a little higher

BABY, that caffeine make me a little
CRAZY, which I am. What’s the plan? 
Would you let me in your brain? So maybe I could understand. 
I noticed that you know this, I’m no novice, fuck all your commands.

I wanna make it on the radio
But they don’t want that real shit
I guess I have to play along
To see my name on the hit list.

Bring this rhythms, witness grimness.
With this sickness, Might make me your mrs.
Focusing on fitness get rid of the weakness,
Energy be Venus’, limitless and luminous

My intuit is vivid if you into it then live it,
I be lyrically acidic, and my spirit be empiric
No plan to mimic/ the timid, this is the land of the livid.
My lyrics mark like imprinted, my heart will never be frigid.
