I rap in riddles, pouring soul out in poems
only trust a poet as far as you can throw 'em

That's not to say that I don't speak the truth
some listen in a trance, raps are coma-induced
I beat the beat so bad ya'll could call it abuse 
I beat the beat so bad it's like  a victim of jhus

But words aren't enough so it's like what's the use?....
....I'll still attempt to show my love for all of you

As the hair greys our times will never fade
I'm a drop in your ocean in your water's where I'll wade

hiding in the shade but I still felt your rays
just a rock in your pond yet we still made waves 

It's days spent together for the worst or for the better
Wish they'd, last so long, a ruler couldn't measure

down to the letter, and down to the thread
I'm up at your text group chat's never unread

i'll drive ya anywhere, I'll be steering there,
seattle or CWU just Remember last year, 
Y'all were like"he's who?" When I first arrived here
But we cracked jokes as often as I turned to steer

stay close and nearby, don't cry from hearing sighs
Even if we're worlds apart don't hesitate to say hi

Goodbye's the wrong word, now I'm just wasting paper
I know we'll be alright cause i'll see you guys later

Instrumental is "Night Breeze" by Jinsang:

Lyrics:
a cold grip, another warm sip
another day passes, another failed wish
a cold grip, another warm sip
another failed, another failed wish
a cold grip, another warm sip
another day passes, another failed wish

The streets empty and my mind too full
My pens heavy so the text too bold
Need to speak soft and write even softer
Paper sick of ink til my coffin filled with coffers 

Got the sniffles, two for every riddle
Sugar for the sweet tooth, skipping eating skittles
Came to take the cake if there's a lot or a little 

It's official, a pen of diabetes,
Insulin expensive, wait until you see the
War of words, no papers for a treaty 
This beyond meat, but the words still beefy 
I'm on a roll, but still lacking TP

It's all stupid, I'm lacking a choice
I wrote the words down but I'm lacking a voice
it's the, sound of silence attacking the noise 
defend and destroy, I guess it's a gift like a..

 cold grip, another warm sip
another failed, another failed wish
a cold grip, another warm sip
another day passes, another failed wish


The nights late, the days even later 
Opportunity passed no need for defibrillator 
Stepped on equator, I'm crossing a line 
Spirited away no more looking behind 
Take your time, gone without a trace 
An eternity in seconds reflected upon the face 

Just a phase, this too shall pass
Currently its hard but I wonder bout the last

cold grip, another warm sip
another failed, another failed wish
a cold grip, another warm sip
another day passes, another failed wish

Another Day

Instrumental used: "Jubilee" - The JuJu Exchange

Lyrics:

Wake up, get down, ride, swerve, arrive, ride, swerve, bed, knock out

No anomaly, specially this economy
It ought to be transport the commodity of me
To the company, known commonly for wages so low it's honestly sodomy ew
This dream inside of me
It be smaller than an itty bitty poppy seed
Make a career from what I might spit
But fuck that after the commute I just wanna get lit
Well bitch, tryna get fit what
All-day the office I sit
Push pull legs split huh
Always an honest depict
One day ship to us
Get it quick, lickety split
Gratification
Getting only instant

If I want it, then I got it uh
Can't afford it, but I still got it what
Confined by credit, but I'm in the land of the free
This life I might wanna to end it, I gotta go to work now bye bye B

Wake up, get down, ride, swerve, arrive, ride, swerve, bed, knock out
Wake up, get down, ride, swerve, arrive, ride, swerve, bed, knock out
Wake up, get down, ride, swerve, arrive, ride, swerve, bed, knock out
Wake up, get down, ride, swerve, arrive, ride, swerve, bed, shit

We out here grinding, we do it for the dough
My heart beating, only tempo I know
Happiness is fleeting, I have to learn to cope
Must avoid fleeing to the noose of rope

The world is fucked up, yet has beauty worth fighting for. Sometimes dying for even. We just need to firmly grasp the opportunity, you see

Chained by this system broken by my mind
Maimed in this prison, open up your eyes
Stronger together, alone we will die
Revolution for the better, the masses will rise
Fate isn't written, but the hate is designed
But the battles I ain't winning aren't the physical kind
Gotta get it right in the war of the mind
A race against my own demise
Confession to take off the shelf
Feels like no one cares about depression till you off yourself
Head into the inevitable that is our own death
Regrets from how our breath was spent
We're all broken, fucked up people just one measly step to becoming malevolent
And you aren't any different
You are part of the sickness
Jump

I won't be alright
I won't be alright

Commute
