BLOSSOMING THROUGH DECAY

lyrics;;
[sakaree]
10 years of music down the drain
every article of clothing that i own i'll never see again
i got nothin to my name
its hard to cope, miss spamming smoke to try n hide the pain
i was maimed, i was high as kites for 2 years straight !!!
brain fried, it was a tough pill to take
had me sleepin on the airport floor for 3 days
i swear this isn't what i pictured when i'd think about my fate
wait
im movin on without a trace
now im seein all the pain that i endured out in the states
how'd it go from cute dates to slamming doors in my face
i gave u everything i had, you ran to me at the gates
first time meeting, feelin your embrace
in the car to ur place, my heart raced
soul shattered, im in tatters but im goin out wit grace
nothin matters to you, nothin in ur heart but the hate

i can't ever let them in again
now i see it clear lens like spin again 
oops i win again, oops i win again
had to throw a hoe in bin again, u coulda been a friend
took my confidence but jokes on u, im him again
i get anxious, need to blow a bag, aint finna spend
anything to grin again
i eat a hoe until she on the ropes, dat there is dinner dem
if it's shaky then im finna blem 
memory is comin back, i wonder how long till i fold again
takes hold again, body shaking cold again
only way i know of gettin back on emboldenment


[kip c]
short days, long trips
1 star up in the sky i nearly lost it
i tell my baby that i gotta slip out
the problem is i want it
i jus haven't got the guts 2 stick around
i lit a candle, watched it whittle down
slick as a whistle, windbreaker on me now
wind finna take me down
i kno the city clips ya wings
i kno the scene so well
it's still imprinted in my lids
u love 2 reminisce 
cold hugs until i shiver 2 ur warmth
please lift me out this pit

wish u told me what was wrong
it left me only jus 2 guess
i kno this road well, im never foldin like these creps
the coat tails they held on are gettin left
molars shakin, put the ember to the blem
n blow it 2 the heavens
i kno ur not in my city too long
I been there, it's a mess
but trust me there's sumn there

u can b (w 1 u Don't love) [feat. kip c]

lyrics;;
[sakaree]
it's big wizard in ya area, nothin scarier
stay fuckin up the game n i ain't sharin her
every hoe that ever lost me start pairin up
whisper white lies, fake dirt, 2 try bury ya
memories make me sick like malaria
all the years wasted, every time i took care of ya
next one i find gotta move merrier
shit u put me thru left me scarred, made me wearier
im big dog wit the bark, u a terrier
got em in a mean leg lock, rick flairin ya
im doin u a justice, luv im sparin ya
shit i'm sittin on is dirty work, it gets hairier
shootin stars, made a wish, now they flarin up
vault hold gold, time 2 drop, now im rarin up
24 laps, whole track tearin up
hope my brother smile down on me when im starin up

[kip c]
trust ..
staring up at stars like we there soon enough
marksman on my back play my part too tough
that shit you bark never startled us 
calm before the flood
spark the ember 
remember when she said her heart was weathered 
should’ve said something but i kept it shut
aw man...
these steppers put in miles 
sketches of flamenco
she kept a pack of rizla in her trench coat
just knowing i’d forget mine
had to peddle home in the rain
their style all the same cus they rip it off some next guy
its catted
huey told me its your chapter
more power to you man we tapped in
you're part of it too
& what's mad is
i've been in my bag since
full send she back it up on me like traffic
head full swivel man I had to catch a last glimpse

[sakaree]
i need a rizla, i ain't talkin bout the fat kid
gave her everything i had n lost it in a fast blip
the boy in airports corner, im like raskit
bumps in the road was a mazza, popped a gasket
nothing ever humbled me like my past did
nothin to my name, i was prepped for the last hit
i set sail back home, full mast it
did it all without a father figure like a bastard
couldn't eat for 3 weeks, swear i fasted
withdrawal had me movin scratchy like the cat did
had to grind for my rank, swear i grafted
bout to drop my 17th album, self crafted
my whole life been a test, still passed it
had to do bare calculations, swear i mathed it
outlasted, runnin up the rafters
demons sittin front row standup, hear the laughters

[kip c]
& pree the raptures
adidas track pants stripes lined with the stan smiths
you gave me what credence couldn't til I found it within
said i will take the couch, you said there's room in here
mitts clasping the blueprints
they all spoof 
way i'm sliding on these loops 
you couldn't paint a truer pic
and true say there’s nothing near it
put the cig up to my lip & watched the city dance 
be quick to take a snapshot, it's missing in a flash
since a little one, i grimaced through the madness
didn’t run, won't stop me in my tracks 
i know who's got me and you're not the one for that
the clock was never wrong, i was looking at it blankly
blanket of ice on the road, made it home to a blank screen
the first in and the last to leave
bless me later 
the whole team had the dream
