New Heights

nowhere, fast

Thinkin ft. Destin Conrad

I open my eyes..
You've already left from by my side..
The entire time,
You was out front watching sunrise..
I get to makin' eggs and the bacon,
You get to shakin' break down the eighth and-
We elevate then scrape off our plates-
The next meal is me, I loved to be swallowed.
I fill you up, no need to feel hollow-
I fit so perfect, oh baby, tell me if I'm too deep.

You beg me,
Go deep as the books we read,
I said damn, that's pretty wild.
Just finished some Jimmy B.
Alice Walker, Jay Hasim.
Book of Matthew, yeah that's me.
I got everything you want,
You are everything you need..
Yeah..

I am the tea you sippin'
You are my vitamins and,
We out the race, so healthy.
This love is daily fitness.

Workin' out,
We always working out..
Whether weather's nice or-
Rain is pouring down,

I open my eyes..
To see my dream realistic..
Peace and protection freeing,
My fearing spirit.

I can't believe I'm falling,
Feels like my flying..
And of the timing,
Is perfect, we working,
No certainties, we just certain.
It ain't stressin' me, it ain't hurtin'
Feels like destiny in this moment.
Come roll it, control it.
We smokin' weed and its potent.
You kissin' me in slow motion.
Feel like chemistry, yeah that's alchemy,
When you touchin' me, I start floating.

Heaven is probably seven directions.
Stagnant as hell, I'm in need for connection.
Bodies move closer like ties with the moon.
Baby, I'm nervous, my hearts not immune.
But baby, oh baby,
You work it out daily,
The wind that you run with,
You're my motivation..

We kicking bad habits,
Give each other patience,
Work it out, work it out,
We always working out.

Work It Out (feat. Matthew Vaughn, Loreann)

The things that you have said to me, 
Have been weighing heavy on my mind..
Yeah, yeah..

I know there's a million rains this season,
So I'll drink of this divide...
Got to get to you...
So grateful you cured this place for so long,
So I don't go without.. 

You, baby.. Yeah..
I know there's a million ways to die,
I think I'll reap what you said...

Oh..
Heaven's ship is coming down..
With me, travel to the other side..
May you find your heart's peace..
When hell has turned its back on you..

Die like a rockstar..

Planted by a deep hatred you,
Spoke it fired back onto you..
Never been your plan to change it..
I just want your attention..

Die like a rockstar, 
Even when they pin you,
We will stand clear,
Die like a rockstar,
Even when they pin you,
I'll be right here..

Die like a rockstar,
Die like the pulpit,
As a sentry,
Made 'em militant,
We'll be right here..

Die like a rockstar.

Thngs Tht Hld Yu Dwn / Die Like A Rockstar

I feel that you control the weather its been raining on my mind,
The distance that you keep away,
I know you've been steady on the grind.
And the pressure, I complain,
It makes me insane.
You've got questions, I'm the answers.
Precipice of pleasure,
All the extras, but the strain.
Feel like I'm in pain,
Stumbling' I fell in this terrain,
Crazy..


Ooo..
You're not so bad at all..
You've not as bad as I thought..

Oh, somewhere far away,
My love still leads me to you..

The things that you have said to me,
Has been weighing' heavy on my mind..
I know there's a million ways to die,
I think I'll come back a ghost...

Ctrl Th Wthr Pt. 2 (feat. Lvner)

Oo..
You turned my mountains to stone,
When I see you, don't taunt me again.
Well, I guess that's it.
You're late to the party, I'm sober;
I know you're not a bad person...
I don't know what I expected..
You leaving me no second guesses..
I'll lead with much more caution,
You know, I gave you a lifetime of chances..

Bought a one way ticket to you,
But you send me back here with no way home.
Think I'm addicted to you..
Did you see my name pop up on your phone?

If I walk twenty four hundred miles to California,
If I could I make it back to Ohio before the sun should catch me...

Should I say that I am so sorry this didn't work?
I don't feel that we must force the truth...
This is how things should be,
Lets talk now, don't believe in hate-
Had to let go for my peace..

Girl, is it just you and me?
A stuck sun lost in your eternity?
Rolling seas of self-deceit,
I've lost my eyes to gravity,
But can't you see?
We're just not meant to be,
Energetic entropy,
The more I see how out of sync our realities,
And I hope you do too,
Because I just can't relate to you.

Changes In Life (feat. Loreann)

You know I just can't relate to you.
But you really, really want me to.
Slip and slide my way up out the truth,
But you know I just can't relate to you.

What is a relationship with holes?
But a sinking vessel when tides test,
It's funny we tried to patch things over,
Claiming our differences could learn to sail,
Claiming our inferences would research well,
Now it's getting deeper and our band aids failed,
Our rugs got lifted & our feelings got drowned,
In realities where niggas can't swim..
I know I sound a little hypocritical,
Stereotypical, to tell you I want forever,
Then tell you the water's full-
Of fishes that want a sip of you parts of you that I spit out,
Someone that tells you things I tend to struggle just to get out,
So yeah, I struggle to get out-
I love you as a person, you're perfect..
..But maybe not for me,
We always working on everything but us,
And being so incompatible-
There's gotta be some honesty that ends where I'm not mad at you.
Graceful as ever, I think that we can do better than tryna pretend that,
Us makes sense when..
We barely even make love..

Don't rock the boat when a relationship is crashing,
You're supposed to save yourself.

Married to the Game (freestyle)

Poetic by profession, Tripp lyrically gets his freak on with eloquence in F.I.U. The Dayton, OH underdog does not disappoint when it comes down to the details, getting playfully explicit with every bar on the Crewsheff-produced offering. Listener discretion is not simply advised, but mandatory on Tripp's new track, which I'm sure was intended to be played for adults only. 

Slated to be a part of a #TrippAfterDark series of tracks, look out for more seductive songs coming soon!
