Every Yck Song I Have Liked

Prod. YCK

Faded and tainted hate to complain
But I don’t give a fuck bout changing my ways
Gone rogue for the siege I’m a different kind of breed
Kept aimless ain’t an easy mind to read
Praise ain’t given nah bitch that is earned
Take a glance at the charts for the ones I haven’t heard
Pumping and dumping they’re plugging all up and coming
And any kind of promoting is still amounting to nothing
Decreasing the percentages ripping off our appendages
Arm and a leg I give so I’m remaining competitive
In a circus and theater that’s fucking full of the dreamers
And imma break it to you cause I know that you will not be up
I can’t back you there ain’t no vacuum at the top
Better cover what you got tattooed at the shop
Sets will dissolve and your crew will disband
It was known from the start that you didn’t have a chance

Salt in the wound
But I am removed
From the scene that tries to claim me
Faults of my own
Imma end up alone
From the ones that still do hate me

Scene full of crooks whole flows they took
Put you someplace so they don’t know where to look
In my conviction I’ve betrayed the oath
I’m becoming the thing that’s been pushing us both
Proximal time in the dilation matters
Don’t wanna be here check the migration pattern
This city’s doping can’t grapple with facts
We’ll rebuild from the remnants and restart from scratch
Taunts and attacks mean shit 
Carve at the neck then split
Strangled suppression I’m dumping the weapon
While you got the time better count up your blessings
Division dissection reduction and severance
Laid up I’m motionless we’re just degenerates
Posted supplying the culture with toxins
Bidding for freedom it’s put up for auction

Salt in the wound
I am removed
From the scene that tries to claim me
From the scene that tries to claim me
Faults of my own
Ending up alone
From the ones that still do hate me
From the ones that still do hate me

Heretic

Salt in the Wound

Prod. Vasporo @vasporo x YCK

Dead brain and head banging getting fucking whiplash
Threat making steps taken checking then I dip fast
DESERTBOYS on the loose we up next
Say they will be needin an EMS
With a Visa we’re crossing stolen passport
You’re a has-been propped up in a glass fort
Soon to disintegrate no need to renovate
Saw that from the start and it’s happening anyways
I will obey anything the voice said
In my cranial space cause I can’t avoid them
Fucking lucid who’s the one assuming action
I’ll abuse it I’m choosing a new reaction
Lower back tramp stamp never been a class act
I’ve been too faded I can’t remember where my cash at
Sold it give me your number
I want somebody to see me this summer

Body’s cold and vacant
No organs left for takin
I am the revenant and it’s self evident
I don’t give a fuck about a bitch impenitent
Wanted by the state and
The safe houses been raided
51 50 PTSD
Never signing no treaty there ain’t no peace

Not a main character you just an extra
No need comparing when I’ll be the next up
Pop and alleviate all of my symptoms
I focus don’t deviate multiple incomes
And fuck it low IQ I could never slide through
Find a baby daddy pay the alimony like glue
Symbiotic at the core grabbing up whatever’s yours
Steady draining at the bank till you cannot anymore
New gen pussies starting protests
Outrage then engage the memo coalesce
Carpet of lies you ain’t marginalized
Cry me a fucking river ain’t a target of crimes
Everybody wanna be a martyr for some kind of benefit
And making living harder that’ll set another precedent
When you could get a case up out of taking our provisions
And been caught up in a circle governmental supervision

Body’s cold and vacant
No organs left for takin
I am the revenant and it’s self evident
I don’t give a fuck about a bitch impenitent
Wanted by the state and
The safe houses been raided
51 50 PTSD
Never signing no treaty there ain’t no peace

Revenant

You cannot tame me you can’t subdue me
They do not phase me there ain’t defusing
I’m a lost cause ticking then I’m gonna blow
And when God calls liberate me from the status quo

It’s a new wave what I’m preaching is the gospel
The shit you’re screaming out shredding up your fucking tonsils
The kids gone love it gunning popping pills in public
Send my soul into an orbit satellite and I’m the Sputnik
Fenty in the blood watching how it percolated
Laid up heavy in the tub now they’re getting terminated
Tripping a tab or two I’m moving to dangerous altitudes
I’m sick of these bitches up in the building hate their lack of gratitude
Fuck a diamond ring I’m plotting make a choppa sing
I’m packing duffels up with contraband the weight I gotta bring
Chamber loaded I’m devoted semi auto make a killing
Tainted from the hemoglobin with the red that I’ve been spilling
What I be touching I’m making it golden YCK a modern Midas
Mea culpa you so full of vanity you ain’t the brightest
Empirical foreman I’m been my own damn boss
Only spiritual morbid until I’m in a black box

You cannot tame me you can’t subdue me
They do not phase me there ain’t defusing
I’m a lost cause ticking then I’m gonna blow
And when God calls liberate me from the status quo

Hiding in a cave taking a thing or two from Batman
Bogeys on the runway stalling and we can’t land
747 in my dome for a ground flight
Claiming that you’re poppin motherfucker that don’t sound right
Sights setting I’m betting on an IV
Might get it why beg and bite when I’m me
Frequently counterfeiting and copied shit I repped from day one
There ain’t nobody been doing and keeping it if you wanna say some
Slunk out you a bitch when the fuck you gonna learn
I’m the one behind the wheel I don’t need a chauffeur
Basic as the ones who take the orders send a warning shot
The captain wanna know if you about to come and board or not
Poison inside of my body concentrated intravenous
Watch it emulsify my pulse will lie to trick the new elitists
Calibrate structures they constructed in design to keep control
Mitigate punctures at the junction till the masses will revolt

You cannot tame me you can’t subdue me
They do not phase me there ain’t defusing
I’m a lost cause ticking then I’m gonna blow
And when God calls liberate me from the status quo

Status Quo

Prod. YCK

5 59 where the air is hot
I don’t take no shit from generic thots
You think that you a catch no the fuck you not
And who had paid for your face yeah that’s what I thought
Among a crowd I’m so isolated
I’m singled out I stand idle waiting
Dissociation my savior lately
These pills I’ve taken have brought me safety
When was the last that I had an open
No one can match my energy flowing
They’re too obsessed with being it
When I’m an island of gold in a sea of shit
I cannot help that I’m better than you
From the way that I see it well it’s evident too
That they won’t be relevant in five years
No I’ve been ahead of them for it feels like years

Why’d I continue
These bills they won’t fix you
Left not a text
How is this so unfulfilling
Money and crystal
I’m grabbing a fistful
Death I will rest
‘Fore I’m caving in the building
Mundane expectations the predictions fell far
They’re too caught up on the numbers I’ve inflicted self harm
Fooling generations servitude in contracts
They’re so wrapped up in the bias ain’t nobody want facts

I could not give a fuck about the readings
Or whatever trend it is that you’ve ate and proceeded
Then you milk and explain how you feel that it works
But it ain’t much a topic I will converse
Chatterboxes and interviews
And they ask me shit that I disapprove
Why would I have an opinion on rappers
That haven’t been dropping an album that matters
Making up a fib and a lie to excuse
Myself from this shit but admit I’m amused
Claiming I’m toxic and we’re incompatible
Efforts are focusing on venture capital
I don’t got time to be wasting on others
I dream of me visiting all seven wonders
Earth ain’t that big but it’s larger without
Somebody beside me that’s bringing me down

Why’d I continue
These bills they won’t fix you
Left not a text
How is this so unfulfilling
Money and crystal
I’m grabbing a fistful
Death I will rest
‘Fore I’m caving in the building
Mundane expectations the predictions fell far
They’re too caught up on the numbers I’ve inflicted self harm
Fooling generations servitude in contracts

Unfulfilling

Now the heat rise at the moment I arrive
And these fake motherfuckers taking notes so contrived
You won’t be like me you won’t be like us
DESERTBOYS made a ploy so the sun will guide us
Feeling unleashed boutta be starting carnage
Fuck a mixtape I’m throwing that into the garbage
Unoriginal spitting you burn those words
Unforgivable sinning you better heed this verse
Bitch I feel the percies they’re in my nucleic acid
What you do could never hurt me say I lie you say I’m capping
Knew I should’ve seen it coming people stay too tame for trapping
See me zooming at 130 41 two lanes I’m tapping
Attacking from the left catch me on the flippity flip
You ain’t part of any gang you ain’t got no drippity drip
Well I thought that you’ve been claiming you’re the big bad wolf
But I’ve come to find myself that you’re a big fat joke
Seeking attention seeking approval now they’ll be just the same
Second we’re pulling up better roll it up and the fucking ground will shake
No I don’t need a Grammy wouldn’t get snubbed if I don’t even care 
No I just need my family feeding me drugs to go onto a tear
They can attempt to beat me write em all off ain’t sign no treaties
Making these calculations I’ll be fading call me Archimedes
Stopping the broadcast I can’t hear a thing that’s said and sold
Propaganda to command em man this shit is getting old

Kick the door down light it up we air it out
We don’t give a damn it ain’t you we care about
Yeah we got the sound we’re the thing you wanna be
Fuck an industry we got the autonomy

Don’t try to crawl back try to reconcile
Need to beat a fucking case sold em out pending trial
You a rat but I’m cold blooded vision going thermal
In the night you the prey I’m in the dark nocturnal
Everybody’s got a fee and everybody’s got to pay
Planted puppet imma summon infidels by name
Gather round in a room and assemble to the damn board
But the offer’s in vain it’s until we fall on that sword
Behaving so duplicitous it might be a coincidence
I’d rather be myself and bathe in hate to die as infamous
The dam is overflowing to the streets from the Euphrates
Take the throne and rule the underworld I’m overthrowing Hades
Bitch you running and folding caught you up in the annulling
Half the shit you coming up with to move as art is damn insulting
Know what I’m bout fuck with no clout we in the middle of a drought
I’m the best the city’s offering and there ain’t no doubt
Angering A&R’s no one to offer play your cards
We don’t need em putting a hand in anything we made to start
No to a serfdom and restraining any personal decision
No to a chain of subjugation cause these pussies lack ambition
No redeeming qualities resort to being moochers
These executives have set it up to legally be looters
Laundering pondering flag the increased traffic
Become the plurality whittle certain demographics

Kick the door down light it up we air it out
We don’t give a damn it ain’t you we care about
Yeah we got the sound we’re the thing you wanna be
Fuck an industry we got the autonomy

What They Wanna Be

Prod. YCK

Crack a motherfucker and I leave him in the road
They’re talking bout an honor who be really sticking to the code
Celestial bodies ascended to 
Ain’t impressed by the copies of what I do
Trap phone service on a flip Motorola
Bragging bout racks in a 2010 Corolla
Government cash sign a promissory
Got a new set of diamonds and got it for me
Fuck a network I’m my own peninsula
Where’d the funds go how they tend to trickle up
Planted rappers still acting corny
Silence informants got the press reporting
Sick of these infatuated bots who want attention
When they barely graduated and can’t handle the dissension
No your fav ain’t my favorite and I don’t believe
In LaVey a satan lives encapsulated in thieves

Putting me onto a pedestal
Imma be known as a legend
Ineligible it’s illegible
Cannot decipher the shit that you said and
Popping is not an impediment
Something that I am dependent on witness the
Leeching and pillaging benefits
Watching they try to allow and defend it

Dipped so quick ain’t nobody there to catch me
I would like to see a fucking artist try to sketch me
When the 12 involved ain’t no murder getting solved
When you want this shit done hit my line they will call
Wannabes are tryna fight you really wanna die tonight
You got me thinking all about the rioting I might incite
We want turmoil we want a brawl
We invade so we burn oil climb that wall
Forging a state of anarchy
They send a foreboding note but they aren’t deep
Tread shallow waters lined up for slaughter
So narrow minded I’m searching broader
Bland and they’re vapid depleting and tamper
Plastic in rapids I’m cleaning this hazard
Been making the weight because the grinding is encoded
Beat shaken and frayed and my sincerity’s corroded

Putting me onto a pedestal
Imma be known as a legend
Ineligible it’s illegible
Cannot decipher the shit that you said and
Popping is not an impediment
Something that I am dependent on witness the
Leeching and pillaging benefits
Watching they try to allow and defend it

You've Got Your Cut, Now Leave Me Alone

Prod. YCK

Why’d you go and do that cause we’ve been wanting you back
You showed up with no kids and a stranger who was your new man
You left in a hurry somewhere that you had to be
You were only in your thirties but full of such apathy
Place to place what happens with an absent father figure
Now your sons will have to live their lives without a mother since you’re
Gone I wish you hadn’t done it after all
Not like it matters I should have replied to you that’s my fault
It was late September on an unassuming day
I can still remember how we couldn’t soothe that pain
And then December came around that Christmas hit us even harder
Unlike anything I’d felt we missed your aura’s fleeing ardor
Now every night I make a list what I’ll do in the morning
That’s because of you you told us that you did that as restoring
Order to your life cause given your upbringing
Not surprised always an episode away from just sinking

Wait I wrote no alibi
Indecisive have to lie 
Serenity is still unfound 
I constantly will disavow

Forgive me while I commit
This horrible injustice
I’ve suffered yes I do admit
And you’ll just have to trust this
Listed the alternatives
But none will cover everything
Have this much here left to give
Keep me in mind now when you sing

A life has been taken but I won’t be taking mine
The end result is the same so I can just wait in line
Persist indefinitely then succumb to natural causes
Do not console me when you don’t know what an actual loss is
Don’t mistake my steady silence for a lack of grief
If I had sent a signal would you send one back to me
Words that I regret, and words that I didn’t mean
I was just upset you relapsed and were no longer clean
If only you had stuck around to finish up your sleeves
Maybe then we’d go out drinking for a moment of reprieve
Misbehaved and fought the cops arrested in the street
You’d left the house around 11 then our job had been complete
48 hours and you would send an apology
Sometimes I miss those nights when you’d show up right after calling me
Memories will occupy the void that can’t be filled
I’ll try to speak up here on out, we can’t avoid what can’t be killed

Wait I wrote no alibi
Indecisive have to lie 
Serenity is still unfound 
I constantly will disavow

Forgive me while I commit
This horrible injustice
I’ve suffered yes I do admit
And you’ll just have to trust this
Listed the alternatives
But none will cover everything
Have this much here left to give
Keep me in mind now when you sing

The Void

Prod. trees @trees240p

Heads are topsy turvy tipsy from the Whitney
Waters looking murky scene that never fit me
Slowing down the bandwidth no relying on the internet
When dopamine absconded we about to find em in a wreck
Changed your beliefs it was just too late
And god forbid you ever outgrow opinions
Let it take shape over time mutate
Oughta go kick rocks if you want that deliverance
One too many want a shot at this shit
Say it ain’t so when I start acting distant
I’m a petty person when I feel someone deserving
When you taking up a server but don’t got a fucking permit
On my own wave in a barren lane
Shoulda never done wrong if you scared of fangs
You will never be on you are unremarkable
You couldn’t be starving if you always started full

Sedated your relevance is in decline yeah it’s
Been fading and that’s a drag it shows your journey is
Truncated a king is left with an empty chalice
Long awaited the tides have turned ain’t with none of that mercy shit

YCK no icy chain
Till I meet this untimely fate
As I’m repaid they finally caved
I circumvent I rightly take
Ploys have gotten predictable
Shift in who is inimitable
Cling to what you got so hopelessly
Cause the facts bypass what’s supposed to be

No word of mouth ain’t nobody heard about
Bunch of fucking disappointments that had never learned to count
Act too slick I don’t like you bitch
Fuck a megalomaniac put em in a new ditch
For the rest of this long-lived strife
For the rest of the tenure and I am alive
See the public don’t care when an exposé speak
Bought and paid for so the arms are gonna stay cheap
Editors safe got a proper monopoly
Glassing the planet opponents cannot compete
Make a campaign as to end a rat bastard we
Greater without but can’t do it haphazardly
News they report on a story’s unraveling
Serving the structure can lend em some Javelins
Tickets been pulled cause they’re banning the travel and 
Shelling some bridges and balconies’ scaffolding

Sedated your relevance is in decline yeah it’s
Been fading and that’s a drag it shows your journey is
Truncated a king is left with an empty chalice
Long awaited the tides have turned ain’t with none of that mercy shit

To the flames where the sinner goes to find their own encampment
Bodies are not fitting in this pit a reenactment
Set to be prepping for when the three letters knock
In an instant erasing the grace that we never got
White flags add to nothing crocodile tears
Are too common why you feigning you still got a while here
Memos are internalized but leaking like a faucet
Where’s a whistleblower now I bet they’re making a deposit
Do you get commission for simping
Or are you excluded the dollars they’re crimping up 
Habits to kick but had torn the meniscus
Can’t walk with a limp but still went up Olympus yuh
H double P D, derealized
What is meaning when the ego died and we realized 
You ain’t on the map bitch you ain’t even on the radar
Feel the radiation that’s emitted by the quasar

Spoken echoes linger here
The voices of those who can’t make a return and what
I do in a single year’s
What you do in 10 tell me where you diverted from
Their methods are beguiling they’re sly but acting provident
Together closely wilding they send out who is prominent

Sanitized content censor as an offset
For the advertiser set to own you as an object
You are not allowed to disapprove and speak aloud 
Scared in the pursuit of total wealth and seeking clout
Burdened I’m curbing the manmade firmament
Curt are the urges to making it permanent
Fill my ears with concrete sew my mouth shut
You can punish who’s unruly motherfucker now what
Opened up a portal to subliminal messages
They’re parading celebrating burning criminals’ effigies
Boutta siphon what’s inside they sip the forbidden nectar
The bodyguards aren’t guarding shit I plot to kill the protectors
Then grab a scythe and take a swipe at who the party owes hands
After donors ain’t no reading on the cardiogram
Bringing out the Technical augmented Toyota
The acid rain to make it plain and leaving not an iota

Spoken echoes linger here
The voices of those who can’t make a return and what
I do in a single year’s
What you do in 10 tell me where you diverted from
Their methods are beguiling they’re sly but acting provident
Together closely wilding they send out who is prominent

YCK x trees - Spoken Echoes Linger Here

Falling every time
I know how you lie
Those things come and go
Recall every note

Of my voice you heard
Take in every word
Every thing you say
And excuse you made

I recall that day at Woodward Park I watched the trees
I swear a couple moments passed and everything just seemed to freeze
Then I snapped up out my trance and knew it wouldn't last forever
Sparking up a couple lighters but not only just for pleasure

Hanging out of windows need a place to escape
I'm up on third story floors might just try to erase
Every single face and memory that I know and I've made
And I get closer every time with all the more that I take

Went down the stairs knew you wouldn't be waiting
I know you didn't care much and I could tell by your cadence
Said my time writing raps was just time that I wasted
And I know just how productive you are fucked up and faded

I recall you left whenever life had got hard
While I was all alone in pieces trying to not fall apart
And drinking every fucking night wrongly playing your cards
And it's not easy to forget when I still got all the scars and I'm

Falling every time
I know how you lie
Those things come and go
Recall every note

Of my voice you heard
Take in every word
Every thing you say
And excuse you made

Bought a one way ticket and I'm not coming home
It's been a few years now since the last time we spoke
I know summer's gone and passed now the autumn is coming
I hope that everything will change but'll probably be nothing

Can't get my hopes up learned that too many times
I can't trust another person making reasons to lie
It's why I got a 9 tucked deep close by my side
I'm waking up fake a smile while I'm acting alright

Burning staying warm about to light up in flames
But I'm a cold motherfucker got no blood in my veins
It seems I'm gonna be stuck here till nothing remains
It's getting harder every day keeping it all contained

Like a broken record getting scratched by a needle
And I don't fuck with many others got no time for no people
Don't take it wrong it's just harder to trust
Cause all the years I've been wronged and my spirit's been crushed

Falling every time
I know how you lie
Those things come and go
Recall every note

Of my voice you heard
Take in every word
Every thing you say
And excuse you made

Summer's Gone

Have you heard the news today
A boy had jumped and drowned and sank
Lived his whole life full of pain
He said it was the only way

Fixing everything at once
And all his problems were erased
Wrote his last song and he sung
And wouldn't miss those things he faced

I'd rather be dead 
Than waking up alone
Freezing cold in bed
As someone no one's ever known

Have you heard those songs he made
His thoughts and lyrics resonate
Now they've heard his music played
And singing every word and sang

Feeling bad they missed the chance
They went about with just a glance
Thought of all they should have said
But it's too late their time is spent

I'd rather be dead 
Than waking up alone
Freezing cold in bed
As someone no one's ever known

They Don't Care Until You're Dead

Sunk in the depths deep down will I go
No wreck’s too much in the sea lay afloat
No bitch can attest that I ain’t so depressed
Pop pills by the pound leave my thoughts unaddressed

Taken aback state then retract
Every word I say they should wanna hear that
Brazen and gave no fuck till I die
Bad urge in my head that I wanna put aside

Fuck all this poetry cycles are rotary
Sealed up and signing my name with no notary
Stutter up quick when I pull the slide back
Wanna separate brains let my meds fight that

I’m an epitome of thinking differently
Living my worst and I’ll die in this infamy
Cellophane wrap on my neck can’t breathe
Got an O2 need black out and can’t see

I am the product of all that’s unholy
There is no saving me I’m in the wrong
I’m the result of everything immorally
Corrupt and broken I’ve lived for too long
I am the archetype I am the model
Lack of salvation I’m perfect to judge
Target the media kill the apostle
An angel had told me they will hold a grudge

Desecrate graves of the rich overpaid
With a status and place that I will overtake
No good cash they don’t spend by the years
Can’t trip too much with the skin we all fear

Off of the map off of the grid
Gone in a pinch made a coffin of bricks
Deep in the woods can’t call when I should
Won’t focus on them and it’s my own good

That’s my philosophy no one be stopping me
Dead in a decade well I’m thinking probably
Denigrate most what I make in a day
Well I can’t just stop can I get a damn break

Evacuate buildings secure the perimeter
I call the shots and they call me commissioner
Levitate quick from the drugs I take
When I’m out like a light can’t think of my sake

I am the product of all that’s unholy
There is no saving me I’m in the wrong
I’m the result of everything immorally
Corrupt and broken I’ve lived for too long
I am the archetype I am the model
Lack of salvation I’m perfect to judge
Target the media kill the apostle
An angel had told me they will hold a grudge

Hazardous

Unholy

From the east to the west
Motherfuckers staying pressed
My mind it has no limits
You just want someone to mimic

From the style to the sound
Bitch it comes and goes around
My pain won’t be contained 
No soul or body can remain

Long long ago I burned the crops and bathed in ashes 
You so famished you so parched I took all the fucking rations
The rope around my neck ain’t cut me free from all my sins 
The gallows I will proudly die the afterlife’ll soon begin

Gone to insanity causing calamity
Hanging from oak I’m no one that you’d stand to be
Verbal atonement the scripture I wrote it
Take credit for sacrilege got no opponent 

Bragging bout clean slates pseudo intellect
Boutta take a fucking aim we got two up in the Tec
Better rep the set better show what you about
Bitch you better represent you better fake it for the clout 

From the east to the west
Motherfuckers staying pressed
My mind it has no limits
You just want someone to mimic

From the style to the sound
Bitch it comes and goes around
My pain won’t be contained 
No soul or body can remain

Five days ago I took the crops I set to flames 
I summoned spirits by my side I walk on water breaking chains
The belt around my wrist ain’t set me free from all the dirt
Inside my coffin I will rest my rite of passage out of earth 

Finding out where these motherfuckers hide
They’re feeding and leeching like a parasite
Ain’t getting no weaker I twitch I’m a tweaker
I sacrifice everything I am a leader

Skies blacked out but I’m seeing blood red
Wanna rain down lead but the clip’s drum fed
Castration of justice I know that you love this 
I know that you stalking whenever I publish

From the east to the west
Motherfuckers staying pressed
My mind it has no limits
You just want someone to mimic

From the style to the sound
Bitch it comes and goes around
My pain won’t be contained 
No soul or body can remain

Sacrilege

Sniff out dust I can smell the residue
I don’t need a K9 I’m the one they execute
Ziploc bags sold and made some revenue 
Don't know where I’m going don’t where I’m headed to

Better get ready boutta snap boutta count 
Turn em all into confetti boutta crash on the couch 
Lines by the pound now we getting dope sick
Pull up webMD with the diagnosis 

I don’t buy shit I ain’t one to convince
Loading up my cup while my brain ran sprints 
Never bought in to the mass propaganda 
Wanna see the big picture like a fucking panorama

Trashed those things that I found sentimental
Wanna raise each dose started out incremental
Now I’m used to the taste I don’t use then I starve 
Got space on my arm gotta blade so I carve 

Letters ingraining I feel a lack of a pain and 
I’m thinking for a split second fore I fall to the pavement
You moving out of my way my sight is nothing but dark 
I wish I could have stopped sooner but decided to start

Sniff out dust I can smell the residue
I don’t need a K9 I’m the one they execute
Ziploc bags sold and made some revenue 
Don't know where I’m going don’t where I’m headed to

Amphetamine focus now eyes on the prize 
Wasting my time was the time of my life
Won’t get em back it’s a couple of years
I need a sign hoping something appears

I’m a paradox and contradiction 
No one else beats me no opposition 
Told a lie well that’s disingenuous 
Hold the truth well that’s way too strenuous

Stolen some shit got some various items
In the side of town with the scariest sightings 
Wish and plead I hope openly
That I get my pills I lack dopamine

Bodies I’m dropping no sign of it stopping
I’m using my minutes hakuna matata
We got a pact that you don’t uphold 
Find you at night we’re the darkness patrol

Sniff out dust I can smell the residue
I don’t need a K9 I’m the one they execute
Ziploc bags sold and made some revenue 
Don't know where I’m going don’t where I’m headed to

Residue

Surrounded by these digits all these fucking basic bitches
Try to crowd around up in my space my drugs replacing riches
Television witness now they’re getting entertainment 
My constituents ain’t missing so I hate to hear complaining 

No one getting pardoned all you fuckers disregarded
Boutta bust up out the prison getting framed for smaller charges 
Taking twenty maybe life in just a day of selling skunk
While the opposition got permission well that fucking stung

Cutting up powder I never encounter
A product of loud when my product is louder
Loading up bullets they’re lacking the trust 
A couple of years in the back of the bus

The person I wanna be and one I gotta be
Two different people I’m mixing the prophecy 
All of my secretive demons they follow me
Pounding my skull open want a lobotomy 

Rapping avoid all the work
That I’d do later but I make it first
I don’t hear shit when they throw that shade
No I ain’t bouta die when they load that blank

Hurting myself till the moment I drop
Curdle my blood when I’m hoping to stop
I don’t like you and you don’t like me
But I’ve done way more than you at nineteen 

Can’t hear a thing all the smoke’s so loud
Tripping out in outer space now I’m feeling zoned out 
Later I’ll return to earth 
When states of consciousness revert

Under all the weather but my role as an aggressor 
I’m the god and token of the west they know my name as Zephyr
I don’t like the faking shit so we don’t ever ride together 
Cause you ain’t that true about it you succumbing to the pressure 

I’m a loner you’re a poser but I’m sensing the oppression 
Running out of fucking victims and ya saw me there I’m guessing 
Kick me while I’m down you say I’m but an easy target
Got a problem with addiction so I tend to be bombarded

They say they gonna make that bread
When I make my bread I’ll remain content
But I don’t move back when I take a step
Lemme go on top in a straight ascent

We say we’re boutta change up rap 
Wanna sold out show where’s the paper at
Wanna move up soon like space and tab
When I say I’m the best I’ve been claiming that

Hanging barely I’m sedentary 
Game cat and mouse like Tom & Jerry
I speak for people like an emissary
Still chosen first ain’t the secondary

Buckle the belt but I’ve broken the clasp
The fame and the money is outta my grasp
Do I feel better when I’m writing raps
Or do I feel better when I go relapse

Can’t hear a thing all the smoke’s so loud
Tripping out in outer space now I’m feeling zoned out 
Later I’ll return to earth 
When states of consciousness revert

Zoned Out

Prod. YCK

Sad and distressed no delivery fee
They got my brain haywire in the season it’s free
I jump and hurdle in my skull I deal with mental acrobatics 
I don’t take my fucking meds so I can settle the imbalance 

You attempt to repair me but I’m beyond the repairing 
You told me that you’ve been in shock with how well I’ve been faring
Maybe I’m a master in deflective conversation
I don’t ever talk about me in a normal confrontation 

Speaking of that I hate expressing emotions 
Painting all the walls red from my mental explosion
So I keep my hopes low an immovable force
Of all the things that make me blue there’s no removable source

Well if I ain’t drinking then I’m checking my phone
I got some people up around me yet I still feel alone 
Cause they don’t know what I’ve been planning on an hourly basis 
And my thoughts are so much more than what I’m outwardly saying

Don’t restrain I need the truth
Do you want me cause I want you
A little piece of me escaped 
When you left here and moved away

Protect me from myself be merciful
I know you think I’m fine I act invulnerable
Honestly it’s gotten bad this year 
They’ll find me lying down and ask what happened here

You ever felt this low? When you don’t tell a soul?
I’m feeling like a fucking hermit when this shell is home
I try to think of my life and how it was back then
When I was just a little kid never up past ten

How was it better when we had lesser than money
I can’t remember all the memories when they’ve been running from me 
How is it possible I could say I was happy
I’m at the point I wouldn’t know if it had come out and grabbed me

You start to get used to it it’s a certain routine
You never wanna wake up every time that you sleep
Like the window of time you were not even conceived
And all the time that’s coming after when we’re dropping deceased 

I’ve come to conclusions about facades and illusions 
When that’s my biggest downfall part of being a human
Cause I don’t wanna feel a thing I’d rather be somewhere 
With you than a place here without you being there

Don’t restrain I need the truth
Do you want me cause I want you
A little piece of me escaped 
When you left here and moved away

Protect me from myself be merciful
I know you think I’m fine I act invulnerable
Honestly it’s gotten bad this year 
They’ll find me lying down and ask what happened here

Bad, This Year

You’ve been so cruel I’m a bore I’m a pest
Come to find out that you got a permanent guest
Go inside see the mail it’s a change of residence
And I didn’t know that but I think it’s evidence 

A decline state of mind hurt the overall acuity
Of all the things you promised that you claimed to never do to me
This one that you wouldn’t bring up
But I had to take a guess when you two would link up 

You said that you couldn’t stoop down that low
Self respect not a bit but I predicted that though
You’re alone you’re afraid you don’t wanna die soon
I don’t think that you can make it self destruct by June

Take him in he’s a no good bum
Freeloading outta work do a couple more drugs
Maybe you two overdosing make me happy for a minute
I don’t think you really are no I just think you got complicit

Who had come down when the place got robbed and
Who had stood by till you got another job yeah
That was real love that’s a thing you won’t forget
You won’t ever get to feel that same way never again

History will not be kind to you
For me it’s trickery that’s got your neck it’s true
I don’t even recognize her
What’s it now that’s got inside her
Thoughts you had they still recurred
We’re past the point of no return

Once we were close now the farthest that we’ve been
Like a one way mirror look and you will not see in
You’re a piece of the past I knew that we wouldn’t last
We just wanted different things I walk outside it’s overcast

Raindrops to the petals I can see the water shimmer
Warmer weather doesn’t matter round the clock I’m always bitter
People change but they don’t seen it from the source
I’m just glad I never tied the knot and dealt with no divorce

That ring didn’t mean a damn in the end
I can’t get it through my head no I can barely comprehend
Tell me was it even worth it if you blatantly lied
I just wanted you forever inescapably mine

Let me know what’s a real promise still worth
Even now I still resent you everyday I still hurt
You’ll only be gone when you physically die
And when I think about your presence for the very last time

Who had come down when the place got robbed and
Who had stood by till you got another job yeah
That was real love that’s a thing you won’t forget
You won’t ever get to feel that same way never again

History will not be kind to you
For me it’s trickery that’s got your neck it’s true
I don’t even recognize her
What’s it now that’s got inside her
Thoughts you had they still recurred
We’re past the point of no return

Point of No Return

I have lived my life though I have my regrets
If I lost any sleep well then I’d probably be dead
Something tells me you’re good and you’re not a threat
I’ve been indebted to you since the day that we met

Where do I start yeah where to begin
I’m a ticking time bomb boutta go pull the pin
I could take a pill and pop it putting me into a trance
I’m ash I’m air I’ll be one with the plants 

Suicidal thoughts got my ideation
Everything comes back when I’m slightly faded
Wanna get things out on a timely basis
When it’s said and done well I might be jaded 

Passively wish that my time’s up soon
They all told me thanks for their favorite tunes
Well I’m glad I could make a bit of difference in your lives
Put a smile on my face keeping up a disguise

Fact is I just feel rotten to my heart
My regards I will send no need to alarm
Anybody with a conscience I will be fine
And I promise I got this drawn up a line

I have lived my life though I have my regrets
If I lost any sleep well then I’d probably be dead
Something tells me you’re good and you’re not a threat
I’ve been indebted to you since the day that we met

Where do I go yeah where to allow
Any judgment of me but they can’t tell me how
So I live my life till I wither in the sun
And if things get bad well I got a loaded gun

Ain’t my first choice but it sure won’t be the last
I’ve amassed quite a bit of trauma from the past
Imma end it someday but I don’t know when 
So you might wanna talk to me least till then 

Actively wish that my time’s come near 
Like how could I ruin everything in a year 
Well I’m glad I could be a burden to the one I love
When you’re looking where I’m at you know what I came from

Truth is I don’t think that I’m much help
To the world as is so I tell myself 
If I ever really made it I don’t think I’ll die
Full of joy or at peace or at least satisfied 

Nothing really matters oh I’m such an actor
Where I’ll wind up I admit don’t know the answer
Line my skin with bruises war in me I’m losing
Smother all my views putting them inside my music

I have lived my life though I have my regrets
If I lost any sleep well then I’d probably be dead
Something tells me you’re good and you’re not a threat
I’ve been indebted to you since the day that we met

Nothing really matters oh I’m such an actor
Where I’ll wind up I admit don’t know the answer
Line my skin with bruises war in me I’m losing
Smother all my views putting them inside my music

Since The Day We Met

Prod. YCK

Political theater I’m contemplating suicide
Who am I to decide take the cries and numerous times
That I said I’d fucking do it then the ambulance came
They would say that god works in miraculous ways

I reject that theory I don’t want a scripture near me
No that god damn book couldn’t ever make me cheery
Folklore tales how they’re still contemporary
Lacking any facts and logic no that won’t be necessary

Eyes wide open they’re blind myopic
If I’ll stay broken they won’t try stopping
Read the fan mail when it all be pouring in
Did I make the right choice no debate I sorta did

They would not have known if I was on the weathered streets
I imagine every city and the one I’ll never be
I’m ascending to nirvana you can see I’m free
I’ll just keep the music dropping till I D I E

Save it for the rejects
Bring me to the seabeds
To the place I’ll be then
I won’t know whatever she says

Where did you find this unnatural crisis
You claim you’re self righteous but soon to be lifeless
How did I see through when I had no need to
Pernicious things we do now we’ve been so removed

I’m undiagnosed but I’m feeling just as miserable
Relating to somebody when their case is made and clinical
So I make songs let me get my point across 
Might as well address it if I can’t hide or avoid the thoughts

I’m emaciated starving body and brain
Unappreciated anything I did is in vain
Got a message they’ll be counting on the day I blow up
You don’t understand my sanity my living’s so tough

What’s a normal way of saying that you’ve been contrite
We all got a lot of privilege but I think that it’s a right
Let me speak up we’ve done more than we’re assigned
I’ve had enough become more and more aligned

With a polarized view of how the world had oughta run
Exploit any free choice how they got it done
Take the independence now we got a syndrome
Waiting for the bubble’s burst and the way it implodes

Save it for the rejects
Bring me to the seabeds
To the place I’ll be then
I won’t know whatever she says

Where did you find this unnatural crisis
You claim you’re self righteous but soon to be lifeless
How did I see through when I had no need to
Pernicious things we do now we’ve been so removed

To The Seabeds

For a long while now I don’t dread death
I won’t make till 30 I won’t hold my breath
I can feel it in my bones I can feel I’m getting bored
I can think of all the shit that I don’t wanna settle for

In then I’m out whisper and shout
Heard YCK he don’t stop with the sound
How could anybody give a fuck bout me
And in spite of all the songs they all wanna doubt me

Bruised up skin all my wounds cauterized
Everything I been through you could say I’m traumatized 
Bitch don’t speak cause you ain’t qualified
Spit murdering words you could say it’s homicide 

Last made attempt wanna change your appearance
You wanna bump the new me but you weren’t given the clearance
When ya say what they say and then you do what they do
You’re like a whole nother clone straying far from the truth

I’m not any new messiah
Removed call me the pariah
I’m not any superhuman
Deceived by my own delusion

Cold on the couch still got a pound
Of the Snow White dream but I feel out of bounds 
Might be sick though I ain’t concerned 
When that’ll be the last time that I take your word

Spilled my drink then I spilled my guts
Won’t be so sure that I die by drugs 
If I do that tread light till I go 
Better that way than a dull knife to my throat

Been three weeks no physical contact
Outta sight outta mind no visual contract
No hands held got a personal bubble
And when it’s dark outside I’ll be looking for trouble

Metabolizing all of the poison I put inside me
I’m a fucking lone wolf and these people they won’t invite me
Don’t need a set cause I won’t play at a party 
I’d rather get blacked out I’ll be sippin Bacardi

I’m not any new messiah
Removed call me the pariah
I’m not any superhuman
Deceived by my own delusion
