Prophet's Sorrow v18

for the girl I just fell for.

I only met her yesterday. 
She said it was nice to meet me. 
And I would've said the same 
if the floor was still underneath me, 
but I left it with that greeting. 
Though fleeting, I would’ve fallen there
if I didn't notice that I responded 
with an awkward stare.
I said, “Hi.” 
But I wanted to say, 
“Your eyes are amazing,
a maze I want to get lost in until I die. 
Like I'm sure the angels join you when you cry, 
and I'm sure they rejoice again when you smile.” 
But I'll save that for another time.
She laughs. And I can't tell if it's at me, 
or 'cause I'm actually making her happy. 
Exactly thirty seconds have past me, 
and I'm already at the flower shop,
thinkin’ if I should take these roses out or not. 
Like I've been thinkin’ way too hard about this.
I don't even need to write a song about this.
I don't wanna always have you on my mind 
but I know deep down inside

I'd walk five hundred miles 
to fall down at your doorstep.
Can't explain the feeling that you give me.
But all I know is I just want some more.

Saw her for the second time. 
She said she hopes that she sees me soon.
And I don't know what that means to you. 
But it seems to me that we've 
got something up both our sleeves 
and I think I catch a glimpse of it 
every time that you leave. 
Both of the times that you left, 
I wanted you to come back. 
And I just hope you feel the same. 
I don't mean to have you all inside my brain. 
But you've really got me chained. 
I even saw you in my dream. 
Tell me have I gone insane 
or am I just in lucky situations? 
Seein’ a girl like you 
two times two days in a row.
If you're ready to ride, 
then I'm rarin’ to go.
But let's take it slow. 
'Cause I've been thinkin’ way too hard about you.
I don't even need to write a song about you.
I don't wanna always have you on my mind 
but I know deep down inside

Lyrics:
Top off my tank with some high octane
No way to stop this flame
hop off the hype train
now I'm on track, make my getaway
haven’t held my head so elevated since like hella days
anyway 
I go off on a tangent when I vent what's on my mental
I think I must be destined the pen is what I am meant for
headed for the summit or maybe somewhere above it
I do it for the buzz, nah I do it cause I love it uh

and this might seem nothing much at all, 
but I can’t afford to stall, after all I took it this far so
don’t bother if you think you wanna stop me
watch me, isn’t it obvious I’m a hot MC
empty stomach how I’m hungry for that hundred 
percent, I’m never content, I never regret
a single second that I spent getting closer to perfection
doing what I can so I can hone my self direction 

I’m out here and I'm bout to get it right
I’m working by the day and I’m grinding by the night
I might just write another verse about the come up
and if I keep it up I could be done before the sun up
Wassup to everybody 
I'm here, I know I'm ready
Let's cut with all the bullshit
I don't have time for any
Every moment matters 
I'd rather be planning than passing the time doing jack shit, 
and that's it 

Hope everybody from the bay is watching
codes got that hotter than the summer flow
whack brothers don’t got a thing on me
honestly you all don’t even come close
Back to the board when I be deep in thought
if it wasn’t really clear, I don’t sleep a lot
I've got it under control, cause I’m still trying to light some
dynamite, and I might just blow
 so underrated I think I should make it I’m taking the rules and I’m aiming to break ‘em
Impatient as hell but I’m saying I got it 
I’m just being honest I spit what I want and I’m gone

And then I get back on, 
take a second to step back and better my songs 
if I don’t get it right, then it’s back to square one
when I’m writing I put the rest of my life on pause
the devil's in the details for those who pay attention
I’m going for the gold, not some honorable mention
(hook)
When I’m feeling the vibe I'm like that’s it
When the stars are aligned, I’m like that’s it 
With my feet on the ground, I’m gonna let it all out
I’m just thinking aloud, really that’s it

I’m just trying to turn my status into classic
I just wanna make cool stuff like it’s a habit 
Turtle-type speed and these rappers like rabbits
but remember who won that race? ok that’s it

That's It

LYRICS:
I got a little thing I wanna get off my chest
I’ve been thinking bout’ the possibilities to keep me fresh
And the wholesome little feelings I’ve been keeping so suppressed
Makes me wanna scream it out, I just wanna know what’s best
For me, and my beloved, that i haven’t even met
There’s a lot of things I wanna say, that’s hiding in my head
First of all I want a cliche, coffee, cocoa butter spread
And some tiny conversations that will make you think in bed
Make me take you out for lunch and other get togethers too
I just wanna be the gentleman who takes you back on curfew 
And you’ll be like a queen with scents of cocoa butter shampoo 
And your dad won’t have to worry bout’ your heart shaped colored tattoo
And listen, we can go to any place you want
My treat, we can even go to France, into a restaurant
Where we could eat croissants all day outside the storefront
Then sleep while watching movies, where our living room’s the rosemont
____________

Everyday I’m wasting time

Hoping that our stars align

When you’re lost, call anytime

You’re all that’s what’s on my mind 
____________

We can chill out in the basement of your fancy house
Where DDR and Scrabble are the only things we care about 
And we can solve a puzzle that displays the sun and moon too
Unless we lose a piece, then we can order one that’s brand new
While waiting for delivery, we got the mental caucus
Of checking out what’s going on inside the oval office
But instead we’ll just ignore it with the money that we profit
From monopoly, until we both go bankrupt from and we stop it 
Then if we both get hungry, well then theres no need to worry
I'll just the cook you up a dinner, we can eat it in a hurry 
Make it just the way you like it
Sweet and sour, hold the spices
Even if you say its bad, I'll still be happy that you tried it
And when the sun goes down, we'll travel up the tiny mountain
And no it's not to make out, it's the stars that we'll be countin'
Where we talk about our future, whether we'll be both accounting
For whatever comes our way and in the depths of our surroundings
____________

Everyday I’m wasting time

Hoping that our stars align

When you’re lost, call anytime

You’re all that’s what’s on my mind

on my mind feat. guia elle (prod. dustbunnybedroom)

mr. brightside.

The rocks on the bottom are cold when you first touch. 
Been on ‘em so long, it doesn’t bother me so much. 
I wake up and salvage what I can of my dreams 
before I splash some water onto my mood and have to leave. 
I take a step out, breathe. Sigh to release the pressure.
Physically, I’m present but my eyes keep tryna exit 
out the window. Picture myself anywhere but here. 
Need to turn off autopilot and remember I can steer 
but my floorboards creak. 
I haven’t had a normal conversation in like a week. 
Just “No, I don’t need a bag,” 
and “Thanks for swiping my card,” 
then try to get out as fast as I can 'fore I need to talk. 
Hurry the walk back before my body falls apart. 
Drop down onto my bed like why did I even start. 
As I slip back into slumber, I wonder 
where the why of it's all gone.
I keep coming back ‘cause I've been going so long.

The more I learn, 
the less I feel I know it.
Feelin’ like the less you know, 
the more I feel alright.
But somethin’ ‘bout that voice I hear reminds me 
that it’s only the beginning tonight.

I wanna write a love song but I can’t 
‘cause I can’t be around a girl without apologizing in advance 
for all the mistakes that I haven’t made, 
problems I haven’t caused. 
I self sabotage before I even get a chance to offer 
my hand in yours on a romantic walk through a national park.
I’d give you half of my heart if I wasn’t standing so far,
if I didn’t flash up my guard automatically 
when actually, I’d trade every star in the galaxy 
if it meant that the gravity 
couldn’t grab you and steal you away.
I just wish I had a reason to be feeling this way.
I just wish I had an address to send these letters to. 
‘Stead I fold them into airplanes, 
throw them and hope that they get to you. 
I wanna fall so you can catch me.
Cry into each other’s arms until it passes. 
I wish I could say that I’ll make you happy but I can’t.
I’ll try to figure out how ‘til I get the chance.

The more I learn, 
the less I feel I know it.
Feelin’ like the less you know, 
the more I feel alright.
But somethin’ ‘bout that voice I hear reminds me 
that it’s only the beginning to life.

Tears don’t mean a thing in the pouring rain.
I ain’t got nothin’ to lose. I got it all to gain.

the more i learn [prod. by mr. master]

[annotations at https://genius.com/Zamir-bunker-buddies-lyrics]
it's kinda hard to stay calm with all this talk of A-bombs
i can’t really ignore it what with Donald taunting K. Jong
and since nuclear war is now basically quite imminent 
i’m wondering if you’ll join me in this basement that i’m living in
it’s got accommodations, it’s amazing as a bunker
we can hunker down and face an Operation Rolling Thunder
i’m stacked on games in case we wanna play and never slumber
and got snacks for days so we don’t waste away from our hunger 
this is an exclusive invitation
only for the few I’d like to stay with if our days are ever numbered
as a human race, i mean our population was encumbering
this earth in any case, so in a way, this really may not be a bummer
a nuclear apocalypse,
when it’s over we can hunt for oxidants and fuel to take a rocket ship
to space, from the waste of a once beautiful metropolis
just stocking it with things that are useful like... umm... chocolates?

(or maybe oxygen would be smarter... ehh... actually i'll stick to chocolates)

and honestly, i’m not exactly sure what has me more scared
it’s kinda strange but i fear climate change as much as warfare
with oceans rising all the coasts will find themselves submerged 
and i don’t think the current government has shown enough concern
we’ve got researchers waving publications in dismay
as our leaders keep taking our nation to its grave
so when it comes time to find a place in which to stay
like I mentioned earlier, my bunker basement’s pretty safe
in a worst case scenario, an earthquake might bury you
but otherwise i’ve kept track of every single variable
if temperatures get crazy my AC will keep us very cool
if oceans rise we’re waterproofed, and i’ve got a tube 
that runs up out the room a couple hundred feet into the air
my neighbors think that i’m a kook, but there’s no being too prepared
so whether it gets hot out or we face nuclear fallout
if you hear this, for you i’ve got a few feet of room to spare

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
All I wanna know is if you’re proud of me now/
After you crossed every single one of boundaries, while/
I let you overpower me and devour me down/
I’m cowering almost hourly, but outwardly I smile/
How could I’ve allowed you to sway me to think I’m inadequate/
Yet you’re stayin’ adamant claimin ’ you’re my greatest advocate/
Sayin’ that I’m too passionate to ever create some average shit/
And that’s why your expectations for me are so extravagant/ 
Now and I’ll drown if I try to hit this high-water mark/
Like a starvin’ shark, you circle me ‘till I fall apart/
Tellin’ me I got a lot of spark, to butter me up with your false remarks/
But when I stumble you spit on my art and you rip it apart like ya don’t got a heart/
Yeah, it’s a coin flip and you play me like a joy stick/
But it’s pointless to avoid it, when you’re poisoned to enjoy it/
So even though I begrudge it, I’m puttin’ my head to the musket/
‘Cause fuck it I know that you’ll love it, to you I’m nothin’ but a puppet/

Verse 2:
So I’m dressin’ to the nines to feel closer to a ten/
And when I’m fleshin’ out my lines, I focus on my skeletons/ 
Affection I’m beggin’ for all the time, but no one’s checkin’ in/
And so I’m stressin’ in my mind, relyin’ on my medicine/
To help me cope with the fallout ‘cause I’m all out of steam/
I should’ve crawled out my bed, not just fall back asleep/
Right when I thought I was free, you sought me ought in my dreams/
Where no one could hear me when I called out to scream/
See, I’d subdue you with therapy and flush you out with meds/
But when the times you took care of me came rushin’ back to my head/
I’d dread to share my grief with someone else conductin’ in your stead/
‘Cause there’s no guarantee I’d be better without your punishments/
When I fuck up, you spurt your curses and tell me that I deserve it/
But when you’re pushin’ me to be perfect, blemishes bubble up onto the surface/
And I need to be more assertive, ‘cause you’re gnawin’ at my health/
But is it even really worth it, when I’m just talkin’ to myself/
