[Verse 1]
Look back, history/consequences ominous
I’m confident it’s bottomless/and it’s become monotonous
New morning, new tragedy/new mourning, new apathy
To yesterday, gestures say/that there’s a lack of consciousness

KONY 2012/I feel better ‘bout myself
Oh yeah that’s died down now/time to put it back up on the shelf
I shared it on my facebook/tweeted never delved
In the problems or solutions/only following the hype

A new night, new interest/spend more time on Pinterest
Social media or problems/people choose the bigger business
Ignorance, consider it/the difference of Icarus
And Daedulus is one used/logic, common sense and inference

Ridiculous/so I’m here to note the fickleness
Of so-called pioneers/infamous engineers of impotence
Society can try to be/a source of vigilance
But with all the times/it’s lied to me I believe the antithesis

[Verse 2]
Go ‘head and call me a pessimist/lets talk about the elephant
Not just for the hell of it/just because it’s relevant
Who’s all at the head of it/I doubt it is the president
So get rid of prejudice/enough with the negligence

We got Connecticut the deficit and/don’t forget the testament
Thats just a few i’m naming that/us humans haven’t dealt with yet
Emphasis on benevolence/Moses where is our exodus
Out of all of our troubles here/and into the beneficence

Ever since my genesis/I felt a certain blessedness
And spreading that blessing through/eloquence is my element
I’m restless and I’m reckless/these words right here are venomous
Injecting this intelligence/remember you’re tetanus

And I’m looking for that V/not that pussy that Vendetta
Yeah I wanna see this through/see the alpha and omega
Do you wanna see it too?/then let’s do this shit together
Stop throwing sticks and stones/better listen to Rosetta

If Yeezus isn’t Jesus/maybe I’m the new Messiah
Higher friar light the fire/pyre take away the demons
Even if I’m not a genius/I’m an egotistic being
No, scratch that, backtrack/this is what I’m meaning

Told you I’m not God/but I wish I was
‘Cause I bet I could do a better job/doing what he does
The solutions to our problems lie in us/not above
But hey that’s just my opinion/believe what you must

But we choose our own Apocalypse/welcome to Metropolis
2026 only/11 years away
Population you and me/look back in time what do we see
Regretting all of the mistakes/that we make today

So if you want it, go get it/if not, just let it
Be a product of somebody else’s effort get the credit
I’ve been editing the message of these songs until the present
Shredded dozens of ideas because they didn’t fit the essence

And I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to question
The world that I’m living in/don’t fully understand it
But I know I can’t stand it/so if I’m outstanding
Maybe people will listen if I figure out the planet

Yeah I’m trying

What Will We Do

[Intro]
You don’t need the drugs to feel this/and I promise I’m the realest
Realist just trying to figure out/what real really is
And although idealists are kneeling/to higher beings
I just focus on the meaning of my feelings/so just listen to my speiling because

[Hook]
I’m not god/in fact I’m pretty far from it
I haven’t even dealt with loss/and yet I’m still becoming
Someone broken and misspoken/losing focus inside
A frozen ocean of emotion/for a moment in time

[Verse 1]
I’d rather listen to you breathing/or even watch you sleeping
Than have the demeaning grieving/that I’m given with your leaving
And I see myself careening/it’s already beginning
The finality of death/I consider it relieving

Almost jealous it’s appealing/that’s selfish, I’m cheating
Facing death is just a part of life/I’m helpless in the feeling that
When your heart stops beating/that you’re gone, that’s it, forever
That’s the thought I can’t handle/putting the end in our endeavours, screaming

[Hook]
I’m not god/in fact I’m pretty far from it
I haven’t even dealt with loss/and yet I’m still becoming
Someone broken and misspoken/losing focus inside
A frozen ocean of emotion/for a moment in time

I’m not god/in fact I’m pretty far from it
I haven’t even dealt with loss/and yet I’m still becoming
Someone broken and misspoken/losing focus inside
A frozen ocean of emotion/for a moment in time

[Verse 2]
I’m regretful, I’m regretting/and forgetful, I’m forgetting
To remember where I’m heading/is because of you
You are fretful, you’re still fretting/and it’s dreadful, I am dreading
The moment that I am/begging for one more minute with you

But I have slowly realized/that I won’t have to ask
That you’ll always be with me/not just part of my past
Incognito as my ego/hiding in my self-conscious
Always there because throughout my life/you shaped my conscience

[Hook]
I’m not god, in fact/I’m pretty far from it
I haven’t even dealt with loss/and yet I’m still becoming
Someone different, a revision/understanding through your passing
To appreciate the time we had/that you are everlasting

I’m not god, in fact/I’m pretty far from it
I haven’t even dealt with loss/and yet I’m still becoming
Someone different, a revision/understanding through your passing
To appreciate the time we had/that you are everlasting

[Bridge]
I don’t know/what I’m gonna do
When I lose you
But I know you’ll help me through
But I know you’ll help me through

I don’t know/what I’m gonna do
When I lose you
But I know you’ll help me through
But I know you’ll help me through

[Verse 3]
I don’t think of it as time left/I think of it as time blessed
I wanna live it right/every day and night never suppress
Reactions and emotions/let my actions and my notions
Open focus and let me try to be/proud of what I’ve spoken

‘Cause the memories we make today/will help to mold my future
And the energy you expertly/teach me you are my tutor
Now my actions and reactions have a/fraction of the passion
That you have shown to me/during your time upon this planet

[Hook]

[Outro]
Everlasting
That you are everlasting
Everlasting
That you are everlasting

I'm [Not] God

[Hook]
Living out my life/always looking at my totem
Make the best of what you got/that's what I always told 'em
As long as I keep it spinning/I am living out my dream
As long as I keep it spinning/I am living out my dream
 
Living out my life/always looking at my totem
Make the best of what you got/that's what I always told 'em
As long as I keep it spinning/I am living out my dream
As long as I keep it spinning/I am living out my dream

[Verse 1]
I would say fuck off every critic/I said fuck off any cynic
I did not wanna mimic/every gimmick every minute
Of my life, it was mine/everybody crossed the line
I was leaving for a little/temporarily resigned
 
My position for a mission/to inhibit competition
'Cause it's everywhere and all around/and anywhere in any town
And anywhere in any clown/White, Asian, Latino, Brown
Leaving for a little/I found myself bound
 
To what society flaunted/undeniably wanted
The anxiety taunted/me, my mind was haunted
With what everyone thought/with what everyone taught
Then it helped me realize/just why we ever fought
 
In the first place/only for first place
Everything a contest/everything was nonsense
Nothing had context/I never made the progress
I wanted to/so why haven't you moved
 
From self-consciousness/to self-confidence
From incompetence/to be synonymous
With success/divine providence
Define providence/is it dominance?
 
Behind dominance/yeah get behind me
I know you love my music so/please rewind me
You love my work/please remind me
I'm so diverse/that you can't define me
 
That's how I used to be/but I have changed and I am different
I went from having interest/to me being indifferent
I think do I really care/I'm being deliberate
However I want to/is how I deliver it
 
I never said that all/competition is bad
But why is it important/to be the latest fad
To say that you're the one/who had it first
At its birth if you're not/the one who unearthed it
 
Designed it aligned it/created it but hated it
So made it even better/improved and updated it
Make it to your own standard/not of mankind
I do it how I want/not how it is assigned
 
Yeah right here is your kick/I put it in my words
And I hope you feel my pain/go on and tell me how it hurts
But I traverse all of my troubles/writing verse after verse
I put my soul in these words/I have no need to rehearse
 
[Hook]
 
[Verse 2]
There comes a point in time/at least there comes a point in mine
When you look at yourself/but you cannot see past the shine
And you say am I like the others/or am I another kind
How did I miss this before/how could I have been so blind
 
I know it happens sometimes/that's why I write all these rhymes
And as I write a few lines/I'm in the same spot as many
Down in the dumps/getting ready to get ready
But my thoughts can seem too heavy/and I can't seem to control them
 
I don't have the room to hold them/enough power to console them
So I sit there and patrol them/don't tell anyone withhold them
Just dig and dig and hole 'em/but then that hole fills up
And they rush back in my mind/and then my mind chills up
 
Then I remove myself from everyone/my friends and family
Lose my sanity/I can't even look into my own vanity
Focus on all the agony/I start doubting humanity
I don't have the capacity/to hold all of my fantasies
 
That never seem to come true/so I blame it all on you
But then I look even deeper/and start to blame it all on you
As I start talking to myself/and I start thinking 'bout my health
I throw misgivings on the shelf/and start to focus on the help
 
Because that is what is valuable/so start being adaptable
You can't always be rational/but try being laughable
Only then are you compatible/with you and all the others
And their mothers and their brothers/so discover the lover
 
That is within your heart/the one that you can really be
Let it reside not just beside/but inside you to set you free
And to retain your true identity/retain your own supremacy
Especially toward entities/that challenge your ascendancy...

Totem

[Verse 1]
Hey girl/yeah you
I saw you/from across the room
You really haven’t seen me yet/we’ve even talked a few times
But I thought that maybe/I could get to you with my rhymes

You don’t know much about me/I don’t know much about you
So just give me one night/or maybe even a few
And if we like what we see/let’s see what this can be
Fling, love, or failure/I’m merely intrigued

But I think you look great/you’re beautiful in that dress
Pretend there’s no one around/no judgment, no stress
I’ll be the first to confess/or address, or profess
That I don’t have smooth moves/but what I do possess

Is a kind personality/so lose the formalities
Let’s find out what we have in common/sample the locality
Nothin’ more/I just wanna see you smile
Come on girl/hang around for a while

[Hook]
All my life
There you go
Oh please stay
Just this once
Anyway

All my life
There they go
Oh please stay
For the night
Anyway

[Verse 2]
Never good at love/just dreamin’
Schemin’ my moves/while I’m staring at the ceiling
All my life/there they go
While I hang in the back/taking things so slow

So I’ll say this, pray it/doesn’t come to bite me
And I’ll brave this, display this/affection ‘cause it might be

The key to my affinity/envision vivid imagery
Of brilliantly and blissfully/embracing my deficiencies
And finishing infinity/by letting nothing limit me
I don’t have any fear/so can I maybe get those digits please?

Am I the only one who plans out these scenarios
Before I go to bed/I lay and picture being very bold
And growing very old/one of those married folks
Done with the chase/I’m not in the Tom and Jerry Show

All our life/there we’ll go
In retrospect I’m hesitant/the subject and the predicate
Help me show you how I feel/my words there reflecting it
Connect with it, come with me/’baby we’ve got tons to see
It may not work out in the end/but now that don’t mean much to me

52 words/my 52 hertz
Is a frequency that ceaselessly/expresses the infrequency
Of recent vis-a-vis so meet with me/see what it means to be
Equally treated decently/believe me easy to concieve

But if you need to stay with me/because I’m on the rise
Leave, baby please/don’t be a starfucker

[Hook]
All my life
There you go
Oh please stay
Just this once
Anyway

All my life
There they go
Oh please stay
For the night
Anyway

52 Hertz

[Verse 1]
This is an amateur recording/slash a massacre a warning
I mean damn you’re all so boring/snores from snorting more
Than you can even handle I’m recording/more than you can even handle
And you do not want to sleep on this/massacre in the morning

Get up for mass in the morning/then slap the ass of your whore
Boy I’m tired of all the mourning/time to resurrect the form of
The lord adore by adorning/you wore since four in the morning
Forewarning, his thorns are/torn from your performances and

I’m an athiest but maybe this/will get in your brains
I’m the one who’s come to take/all that you’re hoping to gain
And the appropriate reign/it will be mine for all eternity
Eternity don’t worry me/maybe it should worry you

If Yeezus isn’t Jesus/maybe I’m the new Messiah
Higher friar light the fire/pyre chase away the demons
Even if I’m not a genius/I can spit the meanest meanings
If you say you’re so fly one more time I’ll whip you with my venus

Trapping everyone and anyone/I deem to be unworthy
Heard me? I don’t know what you’ve been doing/all that I’ve been doings working
All that I’ve been doing’s working/All that you’ve been doing’s cursing
Lurking in the shadows/yearning for the newest version

Ever since that night in Paris/everyone’s been asking
When’s that new shit coming out/better be fantastic
Well don’t panic/I’ve got a whole new arsenal
Not just lines where/I say that I’m flyer than a cardinal

Just kidding Donald Glover/I’m a big fan
And I’ll name drop like K-Dot/except I am the man
I’m in control
The rule has arrived/and the crown will be placed on my dome

Shout out to Ye, shout out to Jay/you better be watching the throne
King

Rise

[Verse 1]
I'm not here to make friends/not here to make enemies
Just wanna let the melody/accentuate my pedigree
Help cement my legacy/attempt to better remedy
The entropy of everything/find my identity
 
Essentially/I just wanna find my lane
How can I contribute/still have time to make a name
I'm selfish but I'm generous/hellbent on some reverence
But I don't want to get content/and relish in the fame
 
No/my words will reach extremities
Mean more than just their brevity/a heavier complexity
Inspire the masses/the stanzas of the ballads
Inquire who that is/who rations satisfaction
 
Wait/that's not my conclusion
The intro to the intro/this can get confusing
I tiptoe into limbo/a window to my brain
An introvert who is concerned/with struggling to blame
 
'Cause fuck man/so much going on right now
I think about at night now/Mike Brown N.Y.P.D.
Systematic shit to fix /and few are listening
Not even to the guy who's saying/"I can't breathe"
 
Preach/No I won't not right now
I just wanna write down/whatever I please
So now allow me/to voice my thoughts
And confront my flaws/and whatever's underneath me
 
Cross-legged on my bed/feels like it's been forever
Meditation is dead, I said/I only feel tethered
To whatever the weather is at the moment/can't escape it
But I'm hoping that if I pull it together/I can make it
 
Freeze
 
Everything is isolated
Sedated movement of matter/the environment's waiting
For me
 
Waiting for me
