Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
And on some real shit, 
It doesn’t have to be this hard, 
Changed my lens so I can see this far,
Solving problems in my fancy car, 

I’ll break my back and my Jeep apart, 
Make me feel like you don’t need my heart, 
Some just wright lines, but I need bars, (huh) 
I’m addicted to you,

And on some real shit, 
Doesn’t have to be this way, 
Watch me walk now you can See me sway 
Your pile of wants means my knees might break, 
I’ll stoop so low you can’t see my face, 
With the girl who looks like my next escape 
Have fun getting into my next estate 
Hate you don’t even realize these things 
You got me going 

[Chorus]
*absolute fuckery m8* 

[Verse 2]
On a real note 
You’re the only one making me pull my hair out, I
Wake n shake n then my brain make up a Paramount, 
While I spin the globe looking for your whereabouts,
Naw, 
You don’t need to tell me what you came for, 
cause 
I still trip on girls I fell over, 
Maybe write about em when I’m well older
Now you know I really cared for ya, 

[Outro]

STALEMATE [THROWAWAY] - MASLOW

[Intro]
I question everything around me, 
Cut my locks, up my loss now I’m drowning,
Rewinding the time table for my past mistakes, 
Infatuate myself to see past the hate, 
That’s coming straight from myself, 
Fuck the fame and the wealth,
Am I a good person despite the cards I’ve been dealt?
Well, 

[Verse 1]
It hits harder than this bass line, 
In the limelight but backstage tripping over grapevines, 
Cause I’m ashamed of who I am, 
Cause the man you see was never in the plan, 
Doses of depression, confessing shit they don’t understand 

But could you ride with me?
Is it too late for me?

Could you look past the holes and take this leap of faith with me? 
Would you pack up your bags and cruise the interstate with me?

I know you’re anxious, it’s okay cause I’m afraid baby, 

[Pre-Chorus] 
I stare at the ceiling like I’m stargazing, 
She said I’m amazing, 
But I think I’m the one she should be trading, 
My mind wanders, 
Through gated fences and dangerous waters, 
Should I dead the bull like a matador, or should I lay in trife?

This is my life

[Chorus] 

[Verse 2] 
She left a year and a fortnight, 
She sitting in the stands, but these feelings sitting court side, 
This guilt always make me feel fake when I smile, 
This guilts been forgiven, but it’s lasting awhile, 

Not to mention the jealousy, and my self-destructive tendencies, 
Handle it with drugs, and these scatterbrained melodies,
These fucking memories of before when shit hit the fan, 
My problems were overlooked so ain’t nobody understand,

I turned to my Grandaddy said “I need me some help” 
He said “I got some shit in store, but you’ll sacrifice your health”, 
Took it to face, ain’t think twice what I was doing, 
Slowly digging deeper when I thought I was improving, 
Here we are now some years and months latler 
She want me to hit it raw, but I prefer these raw papers, 
Do me a favor, stay out the picture cause
I’m tryna take flight bitch, 
You can move along but you won’t never get it like this.

am i a good person?

[Verse 1]
There’re a lotta pretty fish, 
In this ocean I reside in, 
But there ain’t no denying, I just miss you and I on our private island, 

Came out the water, 
I be driving and bumping Frank, 
Frankly these days are making me anxious, 
Took all my money out the bank, 

I can see you in heaven and mentioning me less and less, 
And even I can grab the hints, 
You copped the tints, 
And more respect, 

Taking all these shots to my liver, 
If you were a fly on the wall, 
You could see that despite all these drugs, 
You the only cause of my withdrawal, 

[Hook]
Don’t show this to anyone, this is private, 
Making all this music, but lately I sit in silence, 
There’s a lot up on my plate, 
But I’m hungry for your love and, 
Honestly, I have a pin up on the date, 
That I make it home from college,

Don’t show this to anyone, this is private, 
This is between me and you, 
I spit the truth, or at least I’m trying, 
You used to pick my mind, 
It’s a mess, but just know your on it, 
And I wonder if shit’s the same, 
Or if things changed, 
I wouldn’t blame you, 
I’m just calling, 

[Bridge]
These walls are caving in, 
And I can’t tell what I want from myself, 
I haven’t felt normal in so long, 
And I’m longing peaceful melodies, 
Can you remedy my heart and take me back towards the start, 
All this pain you feel in my heart, I’m just tryna transform it into art, 
I place the pen to this paper, 
And explain how I took you for granted, 
And then I planted hard on the pavement, 
This is nothing but an honest statement, 

[Verse 2]
I’ve been stalling my time, 
And setting picks so I rewind, 
To spawn quicker, so I’m more than just a pawn when I die, 
Keep this to yourself, there are secrets within these phrases, 
I been feeling pretty stagnant, but I’m violently moving through phases, 
And I’m lazy, and I’m crazy, and I struggle with my motivation, 
Been seeking happiness for so long and I feel as if I’m running out of patience, 
We popped bottles together, and I introduced you to the high life, 
But I ain’t been able to fill that hole, 
And that same bottle is now my vice, 
It’s just my life, 

[Hook]
Don’t show this to anyone, this is private, 
Making all this music, but lately I sit in silence, 
There’s a lot up on my plate, 
But I’m hungry for your love and, 
Honestly, I have a pin up on the date, 
That I make it home from college,

Don’t show this to anyone, this is private, 
This is between me and you, 
I spit the truth, or at least I’m trying, 
You used to pick my mind, 
It’s a mess, but just know your on it, 
And I wonder if shit’s the same, 
Or if things changed, 
I wouldn’t blame you, 
I’m just calling,

don't show this to anyone

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
This is a compilation of the complication that I’ve been experiencing on this yearly basis, 
Many of you know me, but to most I am nothing but strange face, 
And this, 
Music that you hear, which is hopefully appealing to your ear, 
Is quite simply a story of my life, 
And I don’t care if you don’t care, 

Cause I’m aware of all the stigmas, 
And the fears of being different, 
But really we’re very much alike, I made this shit in a room above my kitchen, 

If you listen to these songs and then see me you’d prolly think your tripping, 
I can hide my problems well and release them in ways you don’t envision, 

I’ve been reminiscing over bitches and blunts that I used to burn down bridges, 
I’m quite okay now, I promise
But these songs are from when I was the illest 

I use clocks, follow the best time, 
I shoot free throws from the three-line 
So I practice being behind, 
If you hear my story, maybe you can see why, 
I’m scatterbrained, indecisive, yet I’m as strong as you all will ever be, 
My melody dancing with these trumpets, I’m unsure of what could be more heavenly, 

My demons took my soul, but I won’t let them take the rest of me, 
Three years til’ I’m 21, but this music will last a century,

But anyway, 
I’m a year free of the unhealthy and being a slave to conscious, 
I read myself bedtime stories, and checked under my bed for all the monsters,  
The skeletons inside my closet, and the liquor pouring out my faucet, 
Had me running circles in my head that I nearly passed out from exhaustion, 

I’ve had my fair share of doubters, 
But they were outnumbered by all my supporters, 
I am the captain of my ship, you’ll never see me take any orders, 
The waters were rocky, 
The flow is wavy, 
I could sit here and tell you that rap saved me, 
But hopefully you do instead, let’s see how many times y’all can replay me, 

I thought my time came, 
But she was just ridding me to perfection, 
I’m writing like a professional but never intend this to be my profession, 

I’ve learned a couple lessons, 
From constantly stressing, 
And messing up many god damn times,
You think I belonged in state correction,

My evolution and my progression is evident, 
Messages so real I could be selling it, 
These lyrics are heaven sent, 
Just saying them outloud them down for the hell of it, 

We smoke the loud that makes us quiet, 
Too foolish to stop from buying it, 
I’ll push the envelope until there’s so much money in that bitch, 
I can’t continue hiding it, 

This high that I’m on I continue riding it, 
The worst way to fight the itch, 
Of pondering of the first girl that I ever kissed and all the toxic things I miss, 

I make this for the kids, 
And girls who took me back to youthful summers, 
Rode over me with their baggage, 
Then pulled off in all pink hummers, 
Cause I learned something useful, 
Off each sinner whose gonna use you, 
You just walked into my story, 
And I assure it’s nothing but truthful, 

You can retreat to her story, 
But his story's much more fruitful, 
This story's gonna make history, 
It's the ANNUAL CHECKUP, 
I just introduced you,

ANNUAL CHECKUP

INTRO | CHECK-IN

LYRICS:

[Intro]
Can I, 
Get a fortnight that'll last me a lifetime, 
Something to hold me down while I'm clutching my lifeline, 
Something to change, my mind, before I fuck around and skydive out the exit it's too early for all these goodbyes

[Verse 1]
Like,
I've already lost the self esteem and the sanity, 
I think we can agree the weed makes for better managing, 
Uh, 
But I'd rather just pull through with some good vibes 
Cause who really need drugs when love is the best lullaby? 

And I ask myself like "Who am I?", 
Collecting all these questions though the answers I may never find, 
Spending all these hours high as shit'll never rectify, 
All the mistakes I made, I say as the smoke's in the sky,

[Hook]
And you know I come down fast, 
I crash hard 
Because it's hard here tryna escape something that ain't started, 
Do I know what's best? 
Should I keep inhaling the smoke with all the shit still on my chest?

[Verse 2] 
Hit me harder, 
Driving reckless, crashes the impala, 
In my section riding with a death wish, 
The devil wanted to salsa, 
Hit me harder, 
Sit me down and tell me I matter 
Until it’s engraved into my brain, 
High enough to go to Mars but I'm just Saturn, 

These bars see stars, 
See-saw, my guard, oh God, my heart too flawed, 

I’m the farthest thing from perfect,
But that’s shit’s for the urgent, 
And I think this might be worth it, 

[Hook]
And you know I come down fast, 
I crash hard 
Because it's hard here tryna escape something that ain't started, 
Do I know what's best? 
Should I keep inhaling the smoke with all the shit still on my chest?

[Outro]
Can I, 
Get a fortnight that'll last me a lifetime,
Something to turn these sad rhymes into some sunshine, 
Something to turn my brain off, allow me to unwind, 
I'd love to love myself and see the good when I'm so blind

Fortnight (Hit Me Harder)

Lyrics:
[HEARD ABOUT ME?] 
7/21/19

[Verse 1]
She asked me,
For a tip for her service, 
Moments after crying in my arms feeling worthless, 
Fucking up on purpose, 
Fucking up with cursive, 
The worst is, the Bourbon burning, learning all my motives, 

I’ve been, soul searching and I ain’t found shit, 
Pop and slurring while I’m working, they ain’t fire me yet, 
Yeah I got problems on top of problems, and there’s smoke in my chest, 
Shit I’ve been working on myself, where the fuck have you been? 

Complaining that I ain’t make time for her, 
Working non-stop so I can just rock Tom Ford,
Odd Future socks with the kickback Concords, 
She ain’t even know I rap, now she just wanna encore, 

We went half on the zip, split it out on the sofa, 
Feel it in your soul, you can smell the aroma, 
Colder than the winter solstice, even wetter than Tacoma, 
We’ve been at it for a year, and I barely even know her, 

So yeah, tell me what you heard about me, 
It can’t be good, cause you act a little nervous ‘round me, 
Misunderstood, if you could, come over learn about me, 
I think you should but that’s just me, what I know about me? 

So yeah, tell me what you heard about me, 
It can’t be good cause you acting a little timid round me, 
If you shoot your shot, I swear to god that you won’t miss around me, 
I’ve been lost for a minute and I think you found me, 

[Hook]
Savage, yeah that’s how I act right? 
Sad shit, bad influence, he the bad type? 
I’m like damn baby, where you from, what’s your name, you look familiar have I meet you in the past life? 

I can show you all my flaws if you act right, 
Introduce you problems I ain’t solved if you that type, 
I can show you all my flaws if you act right, 
Me, the amigos, Casamigos and the lime light, 

[Verse 2]
Came back from rehab with a diploma and a crack pipe, 
Had four before four, and you shoulda seen her last night, 

She tryna live it up off the downers, 
Said she staying sober but she really high for hours, 
I guess, 

That’s what happens when you’re sweeter than Saide, 
And been a bitch for so long that you’re immune to all the rabies, 
I guess, 

It’s a marathon but she running like a track race, 
Wanna be a spice girl so she bought the whole pack laced, 

So yeah, tell me what you heard about me,
If it’s concerning, I’m sure that we can just swerve around it, 
You find your purpose before the perks and the liquor fountains, 
I know how alive you can feel before you’re really drowning, 

SO YEAHHH,

LYRICS:
[C BOTH SIDES]
10/17/19

I, didn’t think this would happen, 
Caught off guard, please I need a second,
Came a long way, just to act reckless, 
Came a long way, just to feel helpless, 

She wanted me and all my attention, 
She had dreams, but just wasn’t invested, 
She won’t leave, and needs me arrested, 
I tried, but I refuse to live the rest, 

Of my life with you, 
Turned me to a fiend, that would fight for
you, 
The only thing’ll shut you up, is a blunt or two, 
I’m uncomfortable, we got a lot to do, 

Two ways in the road, it’s so complicated, 
Lose the time of day and all my patience, 
I been laying low, I ain’t been talking too, 
We’ve been through some things, I couldn’t walk you through, 

I guess it’s all that Jazz, but I’m Stockton too, 
The type to take your heart, and pick your pocket too,
The type to take a walk and never follow through, 
Cause I’ve been through some things, 
I guess you’ve also too, 

I walk the Yellow Brick Road, to some somber tunes, 
My 19th fall, second year of college too, 
And I lean on, fucking up and calling you, 
The darkness in the light that wander to when I see, 

[Hook]
Both SIDES like Chanel, 
I, see both sides like Chanel, 
can you see both sides like Chanel? 
Find my heaven and hell, can

You see both sides like Chanel, 
See from both sides like Chanel, 
Can you, see both sides like Chanel,
Both sides like Chanel,

[Verse 1] (1/15/20)
Yeah, always dressed out in all black, 
Cut throat, but always ask you where the loves at,
She just the type to go surprise with her eyes Tell you lies on the line, then promise it’ll be fine, 

Oh no, I need a break from this bitch, 
Looking for the smoke, no longer talking incense, 
Been at it from the jump, tryna burn these bridges, 
Type beat and a blunt, man I’m such a misfit, 

Came over, spent the whole day in my head, 
Looks peaceful how I sit there in silence, 
But I assure you that the inner workings’ violent, 
I let the lonely stoner break in my bed, 

She’ll leave, not without a kiss goodbye, 
Chanel 5 now reminds me of suicide, 
Left me blinded with the way I’m seeing both sides, 
I wish she didn’t live in my head,
