Part Two: Message Not Delivered

prod. @geo1022

Lyrics:  

(Remember way back when? When we were good and everything was fine?)

When we'd message everyday, you know, to truly connect
But I used to duck for cover when you'd shoot me a text
You'd choose a name, safety off, it didn't matter who it said
Gunpowder residue left on your finger after you hit send

On a secure line you madly tapped on all the keys
I was your primary target, you caps locked onto me
Heat seeking, but couldn't bear to take some damage
Send a missile back and you'd deploy a flair for the dramatic

Then you'd leave me on read, appearing online with green dots
Played with friendly fire, hitting allies with screenshots
Declassified sweet talk, they saw what we said
they wouldn't let it slide, I had to army crawl in DM's

I pulled the PIN I always open my phone with
To see you lobbed something my way and hoped it exploded
Just know that type of shrapnel was a hull destroying hit
And the messenger was riddled with a bullet pointed list

Before it all collapsed, who knew a wall of text from you could hurt?
Knew the sentence long before I saw the executioner
I got the block, while that angry mob of desperate nerds
Couldn't wait to see that news/noose, hanging on your every word

…Huh, it formed a powerful stillness
I tried to connect the dots before the bouncing ellipsis
Had eclipsed this feeling with a different one to show me
The message you had sent was just a finger gun emoji


(Although I never sent a text back… I felt phantom vibrations on my thigh, anxious to see your name pop up on that screen)


A haunting ringtone melody that's full of wrong notes
Plays on your ghosting ship, complete with skulls and crossbones
Not just me who can hear all those mutineer's lost souls
Groan as you unlock your phone with a nuclear launch code



Felt like there were skilled marksmen telling me to write a sentence
You were like a drill sergeant yelling at a private message
It left tenants shell shocked as your lightning bolts flanked
With a major upset as you tried to pull rank

You'd treat your cellphone like a Ouija Board
To scream at friends so dead to you, they're ghosts that you've seen before
In treaties of war, you'd insist on the worst deals
It's not a contacts app, it's a list of confirmed kills

It's a mushroom cloud that followed every message you sent with
A violent shockwave that buried several friendships you've ended
I'm in the wrong grave, and there's a fresh hell waiting
Wading in a sea of "read" receipts and spent shell casings

I debated retaliating with a blitz I'd send you later
But I bypassed the timer and I clicked the detonator
I was expecting a response, so I never crossed a finger
And I got three words: "message not delivered"

Message Not Delivered (prod. Garrett.)

second single off of "closed eyes & open ears"

[Lyrics]:
Muh fuckas wanna act like they got no more passion
Allotta yall putting a front all up on the cameras
But deep inside, I know you stuck and it's why you lackin’
I see a lotta me in all of yall, it’s time we’re passed that 

No time, but you keeping up with the pace
See the shit that they be fishing for, tryna make it a race
But that's the issue everybody dealing with like it’s okay
No more capacity in making all this shit you wanna make, but listen-

You don’t got the vision, you don’t got it clickin’, you don’t got the cards collected plus it ain’t the right edition
You don’t try to think about it, why’re you think they’re gonna miss ya?
Why’re you living like it’s all okay with all the lies they feed you?

Got you backing up into a corner, try to block, and now you’re looking feeble 
Hide from what you love, you keep on smiling, but you’re feeling evil
Try keep it golden, but the truth is still ain’t tryna reach you
Shit is so exhausting, with my mental rotting 
Man I need to- 

[teeawgo]:
Read into the reasons I'm like this
Shoutout to Adam, in my atoms how I keepitinside
And this shit don't add up, skewing data, want a piece of pie
Been getting fatter, running laps until I reach for the sky, been praying better

For myself and for my mental, is that selfish? I don't give a fuck
All this time, I've been last in my line, now I'm finna cut
Everybody off that rub me wrong i do not feel your touch
If you don't build me up then you tear me down, the dealin's done

I'm taking all my earnings and investing it in me
I'm reflecting on my learnings, passing tests for this degree
This is ain't a song, this shit a sermon, life a blessing, on your knees
You gotta set yourself free, you're the warden with the key

Been at war with myself and now I'm storming on the beach
When it rains, shit'll pour, but the torrents got a breeze
Living bored, what for? now the story skipping beats
Sometimes the reward's not sweet but it's gotta be complete

[HOOK - Miles Powers & PC Pete]
Relax your muscles this distraction’s just a couple minutes
In fact I think you're fucked right after ‘cause it's back to business
So let's sit back and crack a pack of six to blur your vision
And rap with acid flows I'm askin’ if they even listen


[VERSE 1 - PC Pete]
I seen better days, better blaze in a daze
How I stay when I get away, least I got bowl
And I ate off a dinner plate, you know they say
It’s the little things, have a drink gotta

Celebrate, little rock out the cellophane
Little talk bout some little things, t ain't rained
In a month imma go insane, little blunt fuck it make it big
Cause it’s love but you know that

Love’s always taking hits, hits out the blunt
Getting vapor lit lit for a month outta paper shit
Shit I been drunk since a baby kid
Bitch say it’s love but my baby left, fifth fifth of the 

Month I’m just breaking in my liver live it up while you living
I give a fuck if you wit it I’m tryna make it big
No I’m not, I’m just tryna find my fucking wallet
While I’m dodging cops, how many xanny in my

Pocket bitch I done forgot, how many xannys are you
Popping just to stop the thoughts, bout a boatload!!
I see the waves crashing in hope you float bro
How many ways can you fuck ask my coke hoes

Dope nose froze in the snow living so cold
D LO in the know I love no hoe
I’m a wolf in a wolves clothes
On the roof burning woods slow.. but I bet I’m in a

Wool sweater letterman, getting head again
Damn she let him in? Duh bitch I’m a motherfucking
Veteran, with a head full of sedatives
And it is what I said it is

[HOOK - Miles Powers & PC Pete]

[VERSE 2 - Miles Powers]
Ten till three CD in the works, read read
Too far in the words if it all works fuck it
I ain't dream dream dream nothing
I ain't sleep sleep I ain't need this

Knee deep on the creep creep man I bleed this
All too conceited, crawlin depleted solve with a
Call from the homies, rhymes from the dome piece
Lying if I don't say I don't need nothin

Lines in row get the blow insufflate
I ain't bluffin way to far sufferin’
Puffin this J and I'm Kool-Aid sippin
Bluray rippin’ I be too far trippin

Large roots, 'bove ground, when I come round
Leave em dumbfound, as a gun sound
In the white suburbs, write with the sight of a love bird
Write with the depth of a sunburn, ay

Tryna fit it get it all in one word, ay
I admit it all in one verse, ay
One song too long move along it's a new day
Gotta spit a new way… 

Ain't yall trouble man better prove then
Eight ball couple grams get it movin
Involved in a plan of improvement
Ain't solve with a trance but it's soothin’

[HOOK - Miles Powers & PC Pete]

[VERSE 3 - Cloud Mac]
I was born in the black light
Never looking back, never gonna think twice
I’m nice on the mic when I describe right 
Pull into the fight like “yo”

But sometimes I struggle to write it all up
The brain comes in with the Yip Man block, yea
The hands move around and around on the clock, 
The plans break down, down, down in the spot

And everybody needs a little help sometimes,
Sometimes, I like to
Get a little jolly and puff some pines,
Some pines, some pines

And if that don’t work then I’ll try something else
TV on silent the image just melts
Black and white romance until it is felt
Attacking my trance up until it dispels

And when that don’t work I go out with my friends
Do something stupid that we can’t defend
Depends, we got the time to spend.
I got some lies that I will spread

And after it all I go back to my house
Get to my mic and then get it all out
Back to business got to get all this clout
Yea, you just learned all ‘bout the cloud.

[HOOK X 2 - Miles Powers & PC Pete]

Lyrics:

I peck at the perfect Peking duck she cooked just for me
we sit at her table, my thigh’s touching her foot underneath
she sips her wine then asks if I like it with the Hoisin dip
while I pretend I haven’t realized she poisoned it

I lie and deflect with a classic bathroom excuse
and run the tap before I puke the food I had to consume to keep up the ruse
I return to her refilling her glass
as I try to discern if mine was mixed with pills from her batch

but eh, perhaps I’m being overly cautious
also deploying this protective shield is so damn exhausting
it’s just a date, but I can’t this shake this awful feeling
that she’s a siren, deadly black widow, femme fatale in secret/

hold up, wait, what’s the reason she chose me over any other
she’s just feigning interest in me as to not blow her cover
it’s smart, so I take a bite and compliment the meat
‘cause I can feel the eyes of the sniper who’s perched across the street

a perfect date, a perfect murder for tonight
a lovely evening or a planned out homicide
it’s a perfect date, a perfect cover for a crime
the first of many or the first and final time
X2

She washes off the Ginsu blade, I clean the table up and
I silently wish that we had had this lovely date in public
she starts raving ‘bout true crime and then motions towards the couch
throws a documentary on right before I go turn her down

but before I know it my escape hatch slams shut
and we’re midway through exposés on crazed bandits, man hunts
assassins and kidnappers, serial killers, and such
when I spy what looks just like a pistol in her bag, tucked

so I whip out the bathroom excuse, but it comes out jumbled
“I need to bath the room use!” - like full on run and fumble
then I slink through the hallway out of sight and tie up my hi-tops
burst into the night, sprint outside of the sniper’s eye shot

safe and sound, except for those phoney vehicles
unmarked vans and CIA agents disguised as homeless people
under toxic chemtrails, and reptilians with different coloured fangs
at least I left her place unscathed to live another day

A Perfect Date... To Die For (prod. Garrett.)

you'd think after 5 years of full time work that i'd be better at getting up around my alarms

lyrics:
i just cant understand
i dont wanna listen
whats goin on?

i need somebody to love
need somebody to talk to
somebody to trust me
somebody to haunt you

..did you listen well?

would i be someone youd talk to?
someone whos there
would you let go and cut off?
would you be someone who cares?

..i dont know

...
youll never learn to take your time
youll never learn to waste my time again
you always seem to stay inside
nothing really feels quite right

like oh my god its fuckin crazy
i can hardly take a step
got some questions for you baby
got no answers in my head
had some ideas for us lately
but you in this forest deep
want my wishes granted
(when it happens)
wake me when i sleep

im just your problem
someone to forget
i cant escape this
i wish i was someone else
why wont you come true
im living inside my own head
why cant i find you?
dont wanna lose b4 im dead

...

...
i just cant understand
i dont wanna listen
whats goin on?

i need somebody to love
need somebody to talk to
somebody to trust me
somebody to haunt you

..did you listen well?

would i be someone youd talk to?
someone whos there
would you let go and cut off?
would you be someone who cares?

..i dont know

Lyrics:
Let the beat knock harder in my earphones... till my
Knees start givin imma keep onnn.. on
Walkin down the side streets, follow where my mind lead,
Yall aint gotta mind me i'm real gone..

Let the beat knock harder in my earphones... till my
Knees start givin imma keep onnn.. on
Walkin down the side streets, follow where my mind lead,
Yall aint gotta mind me i'm real gone..

I see they wanna copy me
Imitating the prodigy
It doesn't really matter
Cuz honestly, it don't bother me
I ride the beat, I'm busy, i'm trying to make a wave
Its lobotomy, i'm hard to read, tryna get in your brain

What's the point in even trying if we're stuck inside a loop
I need a little bit of cleaning up in here, gimme the broom
Walang ibang pagpipilian (there's no other option)
I don't got a lot to do
But write whatever's on my mind, all busy stuck inside my room

Cuz really, lately i've been feelin' pretty lonely
Everything is slowly, getting outta hand I need a little bit of
Cash just to keep me feeling cozy, waiting for an opportunity
To come and show me

Inspiration, I gotta get my shit together
Pen and paper getting wetter
Never good at conversation
Talking bout' the fuckin weather

Speaking like his heart was severed
Loverboy be sending letters
But she never sending back to me
I got a lot to tell her

Let the beat knock harder in my earphones... till my
Knees start givin imma keep onnn.. on
Walkin down the side streets, follow where my mind lead,
Yall aint gotta mind me i'm real gone..

Let the beat knock harder in my earphones... till my
Knees start givin imma keep onnn.. on
Walkin down the side streets, follow where my mind lead,
Yall aint gotta mind me i'm real gone..

I take it step by step, lil things, crept into my re-co-lect-shion
I let the middle fing' hang, ay
See off topic I discovered where my idle kind meander to
Flying off the handle with no plan ta do, much well

Well, being lazy in a nutshell, hazy when I puff Ls, baby know I love her it
A-maze me how her love feel..
So I heal up when I used to get my cup filled yea..
Or my drug fill

I free-style where I'm going, hear me hum it out..
Them peaks highs come then gone, now you comin down..
I deep dived down that road, 'nother number dialed..
But peace calm is the goal, man that's un-den-ia-ble

Still I'd rather leave, hungry than fed
It's just a glitch in my brain, like I won't be impressed
Until I Slip in the game, get the money and rest
For a bit naw I'm playin, I'm in love with the stress

Let the beat knock harder in my earphones... till my
Knees start givin imma keep onnn.. on
Walkin down the side streets, follow where my mind lead,
Yall aint gotta mind me i'm real gone..

Let the beat knock harder in my earphones... till my
Knees start givin imma keep onnn.. on
Walkin down the side streets, follow where my mind lead,
Yall aint gotta mind me i'm real gone..
