What if we found a way to cease fire, babe 
And you could just stay long enough to see
Crease lines in my face, forming with age 
I morph by the day, priorities change
It stacked and stacked up, what more could I say
Indoctrinated, I'll wait on your wave
I'll wash on the shore, yeah I'll be a sure move 
And I need more of you, I can't stand the shade
Lend me some light, wanna soak in your rays 
Don't put up a fight, let me show you some things
First I'll get you in the ropes, then I'll get you in a ring
Yeah, I know you hold your own, but I'll be your corner man
I'll reach up, grab it for you when you got the shorter hand 
And I'll escort you when you coursin' the plans
Be there for you if you abortin' them 
No need for paranoia, just open up the door
Hopped up in the coupe, make no more like them 
We was listenin' to Cole and I'm wordin' out the words
Said you more like fam, hometown girl 
Funny how I lost all of my hope down at this shoreline, damn

The more I see, the more I stare 
Fortify the connection off like four, five grams
You've got a porcupine perspective from all the time neglected
Let me smooth it all out and see what I got here
Before my eyes, before our hands
Were ever intertwined 
This was a big somethin' never thought I'd have
Thinkin' bout jumpin, yeah, Imma take the plummet 
There were days I swam

Against the current, delayed my plans
But the chef keeps stirrin' They say I must be nervous
Naysayers, play haters
We stay movin' the chains, 
Tangerines and tangy purples when I tend my plants
Gettin' over all these hurdles, so I'll keep my hand
Imma see this shit through and play it out to the end
Hidden in the winner's circle, just surrounded by friends 
But you've been occipital, live in the back of my head
Huh, stranded in my tangents, they can get in the way 
Every silver lining is a little bit gray
We fam-bam babe, couldn't we just flip to the page
Get the situation fixed, bad trip erased
Tryptophan, trip to fin, there I go trippin' again
Distant vision of us livin' in which every way
Independently domesticated, but our minds been flyin' out to separate states

The more I see, the more I stare 
Fortify the connection off like four, five grams
You've got a porcupine perspective from all the time neglected
Let me smooth it all out and see what I got here
Before my eyes, before our hands
Were ever intertwined 
This was a big somethin' never thought I'd have
Thinkin' bout jumpin, yeah, Imma take the plummet 
There were days I swam

Eventually, you're gonna have to vent to me babe 
Air it out, SOS, yeah, the message was late
It could be my last day, you could bet that I'd wait 
You my buried treasure, baby, put an X on the date
(Mark an X on the date, 
Don't put an hex on me, hex on me, wait
X on the date)

This shit got me at a loss for words
So lost and blurred
While I toss the herb
Over to my older homie
Says it's so superb
So if you overheard
Please just don't disturb
Lay back, zig-zag and
Roll the herb, roll the herb, roll the herb
Then sing along to the song 
Till you know the words
So know the words

All aboard in the Honda Accord
I guess it's time to record
But, what's in store is a place
That you've never explored
A never ending tour of a place
You've adored, but often 
Misplaced and ignored
Go on, and pull the sword out the stone
And cut the cord just for a petty reward
Cause love is something that you
Could never afford, never afford

This shit got me at a loss for words
So lost and blurred
While I toss the herb
Over to my older homie
Says it's so superb
So if you overheard
Please just don't disturb
Lay back, zig-zag and
Roll the herb, roll the herb, roll the herb
Then sing along to the song 
Till you know the words
So know the words

The diagnosis
Coasting through these motions
Until the motion blurred
Concurring with my focused hypnosis
Told me don't be hopeless through
These doses, but no potion works
So I'm hallucinating until I can't
Decode the words
Living by the moon phase
We were cool, you sipped some Kool-Aid
And now we don't converse
These Chucks tight, chalking up
Infinity flights, call it MC pressure
Whenever I sculpt a verse

This shit got me at a loss for words
So lost and blurred
While I toss the herb
Over to my older homie
Says it's so superb
So if you overheard
Please just don't disturb
Lay back, zig-zag and
Roll the herb, roll the herb, roll the herb
Then sing along to the song 
Till you know the words
So know the words

Mix/Mastering: NoshOnTheBeat


Yeah, I had thoughts, I can’t attach 'em no more
Can’t grasp it with these angels in my outfield
Like I lost the password
Hand over the access code
Or I’m goin undercover 
With the mask and all
 Yeah, I had thoughts, I can’t attach 'em no more
Can’t grasp it with these angels in my outfield
Like I lost the password
Hand over the access code
Or I’m goin undercover 
With the mask and all

I see you mastered your disguises
I’m not too good at hiding
Brute force 
And when I’m done  You'll patch up what I’m finding
I’m finding that I’ve finally decided 
My own destiny instead of riding with some pilot
Now I’m residing inside of your mind 
Colliding with Nosh 
Just gimme the beat and I’ma ride it
Better late than whatever
I call it perfect timing 
Lemme paint with textures 
Inside of your eyelids 
Refining the finest of designers cuts 
Don’t mind us
Just finally I’m speaking up
Been feelin like a purebred 
At the edge of the bed
A thoroughbred that they 
Placing wagers and bets against 
But I ain’t a gamblin' man
Now it’s on my fingertips 
All that TechDeck talk
Yea, your shit, it always flips
I hit cryptic bars
Yeah, I swear I’ll hit my chrysalis 
Repetitive when picturing
How I’ll find a zenith with 
As short lived as these hits can get
Yea I know that I'll fiend 
I won’t slow up Imma show up 
With the sun, early
If only I had known
That I would sow what I reap
Would I sew up all my fears And go face these demons


Yeah, I had thoughts, I can’t attach 'em no more
Can’t grasp it with these angels in my outfield
Like I lost the password
Hand over the access code
Or watch me when I crack it 
Once I find that vault 

Yeah, I had thoughts, I can’t attach 'em no more
Can’t grasp it with these angels in my outfield
Like I lost the password
Hand over the access code
Or watch me when I crack it 
Once I find that vault

Lyrics:

All piled in
To a new lil thing, no mileage
Curating the cure, no stylist
We be speakin
With just our eyes and shit
No dialect

Here's what my eyes detect
Its just a Rorschach test
But my words work best
When I'm deep off purple
Otherworldly disconnect
Turn to Virgil, if I switched to fashion
Teenage Turtle, if I let the rats in
Fillin' in the blanks
I could fill a bank if I'd stick to rapping
But they're always throwin' shades
Like some philodendrons
All the teachers only take what's suggested
And try to build a lesson
Make the kids reach for the throne and
Kill the peasants, get overthrown
And follow in the footsteps
Of the misdirected
If she keep it her purse, I might get possessive
If I digest it, I guess I'll get obsessive

All piled in
To a new lil thing, no mileage
Curating the cure, no stylist
We be speakin
With just our eyes and shit
No dialect
All this love you said was mine
Then hit the vinyl scratch
Add it to what you lug
In them designer bags
Don't want us to forget
Drop a reminder then
You really think you it
Show us your finest then

All telepathic
Feel like my minds been hacked
Bring it back
That resurrection wasn't my final act
Go and grab the stylus, take a stab
Let me re-etch the Hieroglyphs
It's like a Kamehameha
Versus a Spirit Bomb
Good and evil ain't what its appearing
Nah I fear it's all elusive illusions
Seen you in mirages
Miracle to keep the route
When I'm really veering often
Clementine-eyed, keep 'em peeled on us
Bout time I started spittin' out
These seeds for thought, watch 'em drop
Spill into the soil to
Go and build some more
When your plans foil
You'll find what it's really for
Or you'll find why
You keep the good ones
Moving toward the reservoir
Spillin' out oasis' when we hit record
Fuck a Dayshift
Hop up in this 2 door then
Come and get a tour
Of what I'm living for

All piled in
To a new lil thing, no mileage
Curating the cure, no stylist
We just speakin'
With just our eyes and shit
No dialect
All that love, love
You tried to shy against
But if you fuck up
We could try again
Rearchitect the style
Go and can climb the fence
Go back to a place where
Our time began

Lyrics:


This life goes fast
Let tonight go slow
Unknown paths
All these winding roads
We gon’ fight to the death
Out on tightening ropes
Rat race, cat chase
They're recycling souls
Ain’t a thing gon’ last
Once this time grab hold
Stamp it at the recap
Watch it unravel
Shaking at the kneecap
But now you’re unshackled
Are you brave enough to be there
When things go cold
Or you only seeing my cup
When it overflows
Or you only needed my love
When it didn’t show
Strip me of my sunlight
How am I supposed to grow
Fast pass, damn, I can’t go at it alone

And I would but this
Dark cloud overhead
It follows everywhere I go
Dark signs, but I won’t listen
Won’t be what I manifest
Heart eyes keep me lifted
Imma shine, be the light
Through this darkness
I’m always trying to fight against
In the twilight, you tried to clear it off
It’s like you opened up the board
Refused to play the turn
I’m in the grave-shift, up late working
Feel my fate lurking
Mages burning sage
To eliminate the page-turning
Storybook rhymes in my head
Throw myself a raft in my age
Making sure these thoughts
Stay surfaced, cave lurking
Not a phase, hop up in the radio waves
Because we on the way
I can’t even see you off
I can only see you in the dark
And now I can’t even see with my heart
All this blood on my hand
While you bleed yours
I don’t really understand
Why you need more
Tryin’ to stick to the plan
Tryin’ to keep course
It’s lookin’ different on the map
But I’ll see it soon
I’m hydraulic with the peer pressure
I won’t fall in when things settle in

This life goes fast
Let tonight go slow
Unknown paths
All these winding roads
We gon’ fight to the death
Out on tightening ropes
Rat race, cat chase
They're recycling souls
Ain’t a thing gon’ last
Once this time grab hold
Stamp it at the recap
Watch it unravel
Shaking at the kneecap
But now you’re unshackled
Are you brave enough to be there
When things go cold
Or you only seeing my cup
When it overflows
Or you only needed my love
When it didn’t show
Strip me of my sunlight
How am I supposed to grow
Fast pass, damn, I can’t go at it alone

Lyrics:


I don’t know which way it’ll go
Cause I done fucked up so much
I’d rip a page from my own
Book of history for spliffin’ it
And savor the smoke
Geronimos ain’t paying off
But I’m still taking them hoes
Pontiacs and dominoes
Insomniak on max
Got all 4 speakers blown
Trying to get my diamonds back
Stuffin' cotton in their mouths
Fuckin' coughing up a lung
Don’t know what happened in them clouds
But you lost all your doubts
Saw the stone, yea, pulled the sword out
All alone, yea, cut the cords out
Too electric, I bet that this don’t short out
I’m just projecting all this shit I’ve got to sort out

Enslave my time, cold in the dark
Form my thoughts, yea I’ll wipe that fog
Off the window, see all them flaws
Open up
Yea, I’ll take my time cause we're going far
But I’ll wave my wand, pull up this rug
Stains and all, let’s peel them off
Cause I ain’t gon’ lie
You glow in the dark
Yea, I ain't gon' lie
You glow in the dark
Like some of them little bedroom stars
And fate don’t lie, at least so far
So open up

I'm sorry, I just had to get
this shit off my chest
As if a venomous snake had bit
Through my snake-proof vest
Had to shake him loose
And found out it's the same dude
Selling me the vest
It was like three snakes in a cape
Bars sickening from far sickness
Mixed with being carsick after a bar crawl
And carcinogens in the car with him
It started shifting with his aardvark
With a sharp pen in his top pocket
Corner pocket, double parking
Young Arthur with some Benjamins
Going back and forth, and forth far enough
To get sentenced with these sentences
Don’t want me settling in
Go over my lettering
And get lethargic from all this adrenaline

Enslave my time, cold in the dark
Form my thoughts, yea I’ll wipe that fog
Off the window, see all them flaws
Open up
Yea, I’ll take my time cause we're going far
But I’ll wave my wand, pull up this rug
Stains and all, let’s peel them off
Cause I ain’t gon’ lie
You glow in the dark
Yea, I ain't gon' lie
You glow in the dark
Like some of them little bedroom stars
And fate don’t lie, at least so far
So open up

Lyrics:


I'm washin' down these red pills
With blue kool-aid
Tried keeping it to myself
But I knew I’d cave
Never knew I’d change
I’ll jump through rings or whatever
But it’s hard to keep your
Head still and move through phases
Squashing up these red pills
A new blue face rolled up
Tight enough to keep me arms length
I’m bending spoons, new strength
But like my shoes been laced together
How can I keep my legs still
And do this charading

Squash it up
Wash it down
Talk me up to talk me down
Off the ledge
Chalk it up, he’s not around yet
Cough it up, they'll jot it down
It’s common sense
No common grounds, we're on the fence
You knock it down just to build it up again
But then again, on the other hand
Why don’t you and me give this a chance

Washin' down these red pills
with blue kool-aid
Tried keeping it to yourself
I knew you'd cave
Never knew you'd change
You'd jump through rings or whatever
But it’s hard to keep your
Head still and move through phases
Squashing up these red pills
A new blue face rolled up
Tight enough to keep me arms length
I'm bending spoons, new strength
But like my shoes been laced together
How can I keep my legs still
And do this charading

Flushing down these pills
They caught in the drain
All flush without your medicine
You're blue in the face
Cussing out myself when I see you again
To prove I'm flesh with some substance
I need to refrain
You live within oraculum and had it comin'
Made my way up out of there, I had to run
See it from another pair
Change your assumptions
Said I won’t be back again, but here I'm coming
With an underabundance of comfortable budgets
It ain't enough for what they call love
They'll throw you under the bus then
When summer starts, I'm summersaulting
Off of my shirt, lose all of the buttons to
All their adjustments

You have been my newest one
Additions to the crew are few and far between
But now you're in the stew, and it's too seductive
So I'm spitting like the flu
When I’m comfortable enough around you
Would you accompany me, be my Trinity
I don’t want infinity existing
If it isn’t you with me
It's no assumptions
But I'm following the compass
That's in my chest, East to West
But when I'm washin' down these
Don't get caught around me
Got a lot of heads plotting down on me
Or it’s all in my head, schizophren-
Hit the spread, new teller on bread
Dark thoughts, and they keep infesting
Don’t know where to redirect
Do you care if I ingest just a lil taste test
Eyes are always bigger than my tummy
'Till I'm up to my neck, too big for my britches
Contraindications indicate my contradictions

Lyrics:

I been catching red eyes (red eyes)
Stowaway way below
Getaway like it’s stole
I been at this all night (all night)
So I’m not about to fold
I am not about to fold
You look the other way
While I try to relay
Both sides of the scroll
Both sides getting shown
I been catching red eyes (red eyes)
Always in the smoke
Caught up in the smoke

Listen
Like a lifted enchantment
Bad visions keep dampening
Signal been jamming
To this sliver of chance
That I've been cramped up in
And I'm callusing my hands
Climbing out of this spiritual paralysis
Patting down my pants
And found an ounce of this
Ample field sampling
So I’m back to self challenges and
Won’t stop till they lifting up the bannering
Spittin' incantations
Keep an elixir on my quick hand's bracelet
Nothin too big to chase
When I equip my spaceship keys 
It’ll be a quick migration
C'mon, keep this formation
What I'm sipping got my eyes 
Just a bit dilated
Won’t split come winter
Can’t fit replacements 
We could glide off just vibrations 

I been catching red eyes (red eyes)
Stowaway way below
Getaway like it’s stole
I been at this all night (all night)
So I’m not about to fold
I am not about to fold
You look the other way
While I try to relay
Both sides of the scroll
Both sides getting shown
I been catching red eyes (red eyes)
Always in the smoke
Caught up in the smoke

Can't get any faster than
How quick we made it back
To the quest master
Unwielded your shield
Unveiled your past through passwords
You're the newest spellcaster
At the hero’s guild, yea, subzero chill
We been crafting the mold and
I bet they're comin' after 
For now, they're just 
Looking like some alabaster 
And this whole place crawling with these Aleisters
Yea, I'd been to hell and back first
I confess, you could work on your bedside manners
I bet my mana regenerating at a rate unfathomed
When I get things straight
Redirect my stance first
Double check my answers 
Saw 'em get a little motion 
Then eject their standards 
So I sip will potion 
Yea, I’ll make this plan work
Hold my weight, I'm a boarding passenger

I been catching red eyes (red eyes)
Stowaway way below
Getaway like it’s stole
I been at this all night (all night)
So I’m not about to fold
I am not about to fold
You look the other way
While I try to relay
Both sides of the scroll
Both sides getting shown
I been catching red eyes (red eyes)
Always in the smoke
Caught up
Caught up catching red eyes (red eyes)
Stowaway way below
I been at this all night (all night)
So I’m not about to fold
I am not about to fold
You look the other way
While I try to relay
Both sides of the scroll
Both sides getting shown
I been catching red eyes (red eyes)
Always in the smoke
Caught up in the smoke

Lyrics:


Fuck you mean
Fuck you mean
You won’t find the way
Catch your breath 
Find your step
Finalize the change 
You’ve contemplated for so long 
And denied the taste 
And I don’t know
Today just feels like that kind of day 
Fuck you mean
Fuck you mean
You won’t find the way 
Catch your breath 
Find your step
Finalize the change 
You’ve contemplated for so long 
And denied the taste 
And I don’t know
Today just feels like that kind of day

Today I feel like 
I’ll break out of all these chains 
Voluntarily, I had 'em
Wrapped around my legs
Hard to be so kind
With this kind of strain
This kind of strain
Got me so high 
But I’ll find the aim 
Blendin' in spirit provoking 
In-the-future-be-quoted 
Type of messages with
Prosodic elements
Till they're getting hard to find
Like a triple spy, swept in with 
Double doses of this medicine 
Let it set in before they're going grey
Then they’ll run around 
Whatever you've been trying to say
At periodic table discussions 
Notice templates
When the pattern goes
Against ascension
It's like dead weight
Fearing not, got the clearance
Breaking through the barrier
Using supersonics, synchronizing with
Eloquence formed prehistoric
A land before this
Bout time I force the door in

Fuck you mean
Fuck you mean
You won’t find the way 
Catch your breath 
Find your step
Finalize the change 
You’ve contemplated for so long 
And denied the taste 
And I don’t know
Today just feels like that kind of day 
Fuck you mean
Fuck you mean
You won’t find the way 
Catch your breath 
Find your step
Finalize the change 
You’ve contemplated for so long 
And denied the taste 
And I don’t know
Today just feels like that kind of day

So I’m goin door to door 
I've been foraging for 
Some destination 
When the path been 
The main part of the story
Plot been distorting 
Dorothy in the forest, forging portals
Till this spin a household name
It gets hard to explain
But it ain’t no shortcuts
Along the discourse
Projections reflect the
Exploring of portions
Once foreign to the core
While on an astral plane 
Stay so meteoric, can’t ignore it 
With what I’ve been pouring 
And absorbing in my organs 
At this soaring rate
How much more can my 
Origins reuptake 
Can’t stand for it, a plan so porous 
Can’t cite the sources
Of what we're even fighting for
It's like you're drawing out more lines 
When you could think a lil more outside
Outside the lights, lights flicker
Tonight’s was the night
You missed the flight 
Held up at ticketing 
Another strike on the wrist 
Can’t let it switch again

Fuck you mean
Fuck you mean
You won’t find the way 
Catch your breath 
Find your step
Finalize the change 
You’ve contemplated for so long 
And denied the taste 
And I don’t know
Today just feels like that kind of day 
Fuck you mean
Fuck you mean
You won’t find the way 
Catch your breath 
Find your step
Finalize the change 
You’ve contemplated for so long 
And denied the taste 
And I don’t know
Today just feels like that kind of day
