Rise

(prod. croc)

I say I love you like it’s nothing because it’s everything 
 
You remind me of 
Cold nights when I could use a hug 
Am I touch deprived or just too out of touch 
But you remind me of 
Conversations with myself didn’t have no one 
Time I wasted with no patience in the name of fun 
Used to chew on life savers we ain’t savin nun 
What you do is life changing I could never  run 
I love you so much I say it Like it’s nun 

this is everything 
say i love you like it’s nothing cuz it’s everything 
you’re the one i run to when my thoughts become unsettling 
troubles on my mind, i wonder why i can’t forget some things
but when that pressure sting, you keep me in the swing of things
blessed me with a pair of wings ride off in the wind with
the way i’m living only hope to see what heaven bring 
got some scores to settle, we t’d up like when the kettle sing

I miss life with no depression 
I barely know depression 
buh she right here at my hip like i hold a weapon 
i miss the sitcom life everyday another lesson 
I been stressin over cheese i rlly need sum cheddar 
lil bro needed machines to help him breathe better
told my baeboys lock ya arms this a team effort 
they from a city where too many young men seeing heaven
see each other as opposition our demons clever 
i taught myself not to listen to serpents ever 
I pray buh i’m not a christian i don’t kno a reverend 
I jus kno enough scripture to tell u i’m destined 
either a prophet or a problem ima pro whatever 
it’s not abt who kno the text it’s bout who quote it better 
forgive me if i’m overstepping
life been movin fast i need to fast get my aura right 
i stepped on the gas and ain’t let off we should be closer right 
gettin big don’t mean u see the vision that’s a oversight 
envy in ya eyes ion stare too long at parasites 
ya plate was so full that im suprised you even noticed mine

overstepping

Sometimes I wish Aunt Alice never passed 
She held my hand and got me ice cream whenever I asked 
She defended any weird habit I ever had 
Nowadays I just need somebody more like that 
Cuz I been holding back 
I tried to hold some people close 
and then they turned they back 
But my father told me show the world the love it lacks 
that’s been hard for matt 
and I won’t lie 
I been holding on to hatred for a long time
I been holding on to bitterness and borrowed pride 
YAH hold me tight 

Yah hold me 
Yah hold me tight 
Yah hold me
Yah hold me tight
you see these demons right?
They tried to take my life 
Yah hold me 
Yah hold me tight 
Yah hold me 
Yah hold me tight 
you see these demons right?
They tried to take my life 

My mind getting older 
I’m only 18 
without pain I’d never know what faith means 
Every night I pray cuz I seen blood stains on the street 
Pray its not me
Pray its not my brother or my mans either 
Pray its not somebody hungry that’s jus tryna eat 
This food for the spirit lost soul poetry
(Food for the spirit lost soul poetry) 
Yah Holding Me

Yah hold me 
Yah hold me tight 
Yah hold me
Yah hold me tight
you see these demons right?
They tried to take my life 
Yah hold me 
Yah hold me tight 
Yah hold me 
Yah hold me tight 
you see these demons right?
They tried to take my life 

Hold Me Father 
As I slip thru the fingers of man, I land, firmly back in your hands 
the warmest shelter.
when love runs out, yours is forever 
I know shalom because I know you 
As I lie on this bed of vines and roses I know truth 
and when the thorns prick my skin 
I bleed for you 

Please don’t let go

YAH hold me

If yu find me at that bottom of the well 
Wish me well 
wish me well 

Threw a quarter in the well 
wished that yu were here 
I’m doin well 
buh human fears
profusely loose some tears 
i can’t waste a second 
cuz i can’t afford to lose the years 
I can’t waste a penny 
so that quarter was a bigger deal 
than u think 
do you think 
abt me 
do you miss my company 
got a show next week 
you wanna come for free 
comfort me 
i pray for things 
& you would make my prayers complete 
we barely speak 
that’s so unfair to me

oh well

Could yu keep this between me & you 
Could You tell the truth 
I raised hell for you 
I get jealous too 

Idk if I’m jealous or moreso insecure 
When u told me bout that fellow i jus couldn’t listen more 
my heart fell thru my chest straight thru my torso hit the floor 
I told yu never cross that line 
I told yu never touch that door 
between the known and unknown and now we’ll never know for sure 
what we coulda been 
if yu was a better liar 
& i was an idiot 
Or if i was a better man 
& yu was a simpleton 
i knew yu was a problem buh i blamed it ignorance 
told myself even christ prayed for degenerates 
but now i’m just sitting wit 
this lost confused feeling 
regretting our whole dealing 
staring long at the ceiling 
don’t tell nobody this story my actions was appealing 
don’t tell nb yu know me 
don’t tell nb the reasons 
could yu jus 
could yu jus 

Could yu keep this between me & you 
Could You tell the truth 
I raised hell for you 
I get jealous too 

How we transmute ILUs to IOUs
U  owe me some soul from how much I poured in you 
I’m coping true tryna get over you 
I’m closing too tryna get over truth
Giving myself underhanded lies
Like your love ain’t give faith ain’t make me wanna put my hands to sky 
Blinding me from truth my eye crusted by the sands of time 
It’s a hard change from standing by your side to have to stand aside 
With feet planted I 
Will take both of our weights on theses shoulders 
We already know beauty in the eye of the beholder 
Well they’re eyes can never shine like mine when their reflecting you 
Grow to be the best for you cause without you I’m destitute 
Cause I get jealous boo 
I must tell the truth 
I’ll raise hell for you 
I can’t get out this deep love that I fell into

Get off me 
I pray out loud softly 
the sun & trees call me 
but auntie voice calms me 
so i think of it often 
I think abt coffins 
I had a carried a couple 
well more than a couple 
Charles left Betty first but now they back as a couple 
life is beautiful 
My cousin chucky told me life is beautiful 
But it can get ruined too 
It can slip away fast 
Practicing gratitude i pray before i break fast 
I try not to stay mad 
I try hard to stay matt 
I kno wat i want so I affirm that 
Get off me 
Doubt get off me 
Drought get off me
Depression get off me 
I learn lessons often 
Cuz I get tested often 
Get off me 
Get off me

get off

I wish yu seen the mask 
I fear yu see thru all my lies 
do you believe in matt 
Should I even ask 
Ya memory sit in the dark right where the demons at 
Family pictures framed up inna corner where the reaper at 
They won’t believe it when i pass i’m like a ceolacath 
To sink or swim 
Holdin my breath in 
Feel it fallin fast 
To be condemned 
Hold onto my friends 
does someone have my back 
I need this pen 
Relyin on my wit 
I’ll never be at lack 
Yu see my grin 
evil as it is 
that’s why a keep mask 

that’s a keep a mask 

hate for yu to see my face 
the one these tears mishape 
& to you i’ll soon great 
do you define my fate 

if u losin faith plz don’t look me in my eyes 
had to cover up yu can’t see this other side 
every man feel perfect that’s a demons pride 
i love but i can’t trust it’s demons in my mind 

battle my thoughts daily 
all my fears try berate me 
i’m reaching for the brush 
then bled on my favorite paintings 
I wanna love my work 
often love drive us crazy 
I know this mask work 
my homies act like i made it 

I been lookin for it 
i be lookin further 
mask like an imposter 
silent like a murder 

didn’t see you 
didn’t see you coming

Sometimes I stretch my arms out to the stars pray they reach back 
I heard that arson warms a village fear I need that 
Fear I be that 
Feeling anger over feedback 
This wasn’t me back 
I was younger 
They believed matt 
Colored in the lines 
Hardly analyzed 
Decieved matt
Didn’t see the truth 
Didn’t see the nuce 
Breathe matt
Easy on the flashbacks 
Modern day a weird feeling
Cant see family as the villain 
But its embers in my village 
Ashes in my village 
Sometimes I feel embarrassed to show passion to my village 
Fearing they may kill it 
Fearing they won’t feel it 
Its levels to expression 
Life & death all in my message
Yu don’t see how I been stressing 
Know we all are 
Know we all lost 
Before I went to war I had to count the cost
