THE BOY WITH THE THORN IN HIS SIDE

lvtely
prod. by rasmus beats

call me never-miss hit, hit the blunt then the time skips
fast forward, i played you like a compact disc-switch flip, on the skate-back, get quick, uh
I'm disappointed, you ain't never had a chance kid

i been draggin heels, not mine
slip, dont trip, just sifting through my mind
kickstand, second thought, down to rip, down to ride
no time for ya shit, no time
set it up, stakeout, grip, no scope
buzzing in my mind, shake it off the trenchcoat
double pump, switch it out, then i squeeze real slow
power in my palm, Doc Oc in the cold
stocks crash, smash the whip and bitch bro
dogs dash, gnash the teeth, they gleam, glow
cautious to see what i see, i feel ghostly
im pondering shit that could be, its not hopeful

sprinkle lil bitch in the brew and we got you-i felt the animosity before i ever saw through
another time skip passed the trash
leave it up to repression, nevererase the past
just a band aid masking all the times i laughed in the mirror when it appeared that this time would be the last 
im half assing health, a product of what I'm dealt, you left me right on the shelf, nostalgia came and you followed suit
2 or 3 times, i sent you halfway to the moon
takealook in these eyes, I'll show you what the master do
never casual, in fact ineedyouto evacuate the room, all of you
you motherfuckers horrible
swift fist to the chin just to offer you a chance - to make amends
run fast through the lands and don't look back causeiwont slack, i dont sleep
the kids weep til they understand
yeah
the kids weep til they understand
and then they weep when they understand

something bout the static keeps me happy when im outta touch
i been on E in the cut, SB's on
bumpin my own shit so i could focus on whats real
never stagnant, always putting power to 4 wheels
slacked on a sunday musta been your big reveal (bitch get down)

walk in and im shining, not the sun
know i am the father, pierced ya momma, holy gun
holy water just dont burn me, i created, im the One
slacked on a sunday, mustve been when you came up
(bitch get down)

Monday turned the corner quick fast on ya ass
whole past obsolete, hit the gas with the ebrake yanked, hooked, sank, bitch im gold on my feet, bitch im Kobe off the stove, bitch the climate follows me
so I'm cozy i suppose, my reflection counts on me
so i do what I'm supposed, never fail to prove to thee

2. hit (holy water)

prod. by lowtyde

tell me you can't and ill tell you thats why
slow mind
catch up
the gag is up and the kids all wanna die

something catastrophic to turn a profit, a blind eye
darkness over all while the light's seemingly sidelined
so lemme shine that
fix ya ball cap
its all facts
believe it or not, stay soul strapped in all black
carry the torch for the wolf pack
the sky bled red, the moon grew, Oozaru

enlightened minds come together like stick glue
fists flew just as the bell rang, dont skip school
the big truth is that you need the pain to move this smooth
but close ya ears and shut ya eyes fool like you used to

hit me back when you ready
when youre all shaky and sweaty
i know reality's tough, rough stuff to come to terms with
incense burnin
cycle stays turning
step up and getcha neck cut so you can flourish
still dont get it huh?
ash the honey Dutch
pull up a seat, roll up another leaf, listen up:
might get marked for this but only common sense can make the strongest kid come in and martyr it
its one shot to be part of it
just another soul thinking of a rhyme to spit
second thought, whyon you show me where the violence is
cause i dont like that kid
work out my wrist so i could bust his jaw and i could bust his bi- sike
karma just might bite harder than i lay pipe
stay nice
im off it like i kicked ice
I'll profit off a dripped mic
you been tight that i grip tight
live painless
rise up and beat down the bullshit that you claiming
just like my name, this shits daily
lvtely i been praying
spirit solid like its stainless, note taking's cheap
divine education
they try to define the fine nature of things
like my body's a lie, the vibrations are dim and im hardly alive and theres my faith in the wind

wrong
tune in and ill prove you wrong 
cause ALL'S in the ALL
it's ALL part of ALL

"titulus"
prod by Foolish Duke

forced to wield a weedwacker//
snakes on the low shoulda watched their back//

sliced off the dome, no need to grip chrome when a simple slash whips from the back to the front//

smokin on a dub at a time gets that look in my eyes when im here but im there and im stuck
shake off the bugs, they creepin, crawlin, whisper softly, im thinkin its time to run

its time to jump

laced up dunks and its time to stunt//
its different now
the waves feel shifty now//
i plead with the moon and the sun



please do not ask me wassup
the ache in my back and the shake in my knees say enough
im anxious as fuck
not to mention the prices are up...
yeah

what a sad tone//
facing a black and im facing the fact that my mind is a black hole
I'm way in the back
and im thankful for rap//
the silver lining, blessed to find it// bright how i shine when i fight confinement
a nickel and dime is my strive, i grind it

but at what cost?
silent and ducked off//
contemplating lately bout the matrix, the mass is latent//
talk with no conversation
i hate to speak
the tides get way too deep//
gulf coast overflowed and im out to sea//

usually travel with radioactivity in the dome
im plotting on casualties
the ones who have doubt in me
theyre reading this slow
while i rip the road
I'm dipping off grid and im glittering gold//
the flow with the switch, im ditching each flow
the way i adapt what i wrote, emerging an alchemist// titulus reads that i murdered the father of time with this, yeah


i dont wanna get too deep cause the line dont stretch and im kicking my feet
this night might do it for me
glide off the map like a human should be
i could see clearly from far
its clear you ain't on my radar
cigars in the air when im gone
espresso to boot up good morning
i could ascend to the highest, compare him to midas except with control
im planted 2 feet on my flow
observant, its all in my scope
borderline rocking the boat when i say what i wrote, never needed to know what i came up to know
its off with my head
id rather be dead
id rather be home with 2 of my bros they left me alone i dont wanna talk about it
i dont often talk about it
the sign of the times is awareness
and the plot is to grab that and share it
dont let it perish
i got a lot to live for
same time i wanna hit the wall, break something, feel pain, it's all better than yesterday
its all fine when the memories fade
its all smiles til a trigger displays
it all piles at the tip of my blade


"titulus" prod by Foolish Duke

desolate, bereft, forsaken

and when your body rots...
gorgeous forms of nature start to blossom
visual fractals happen in the atmosphere, its autumn
theres storms brewing and I'm cruising to the dropoff
wind is crisp and fist is clenched, avoiding absent minded lockjaw

we're in the times, open your eyes and feel the signs
theres something in the air, weighing heavy on my spine
snap, crackled ash into the trash i call my mind
back to black just like its asthma, lungs look unrefined

spiritual acrobats, i bend and stretch before i run my lap
you dont know half the facts, you won't despite the spill dripped on my tracks
and you know past attacks, i run with a blade attached, im never behind, know I'm up
i footnote the bars with "good luck"
created a thought and it stuck

berated for thinking im right, my head hanging low, you buried a knight
the way that i shine from the shoes that i sport left you blind, its done out of spite
lace up the Dunks, im ready to dunk on whoever the fuck wanna fight
force me to deign to hold a discussion, that typa shit hurting my brain
I'd rather be silent like Kane
alone in the cut when it rains
and loading my pen when it pours, braving the flood like im going through war
the sword gets equipped with a stone, the power it holds found its way from below
above should be equal but it broke in pieces by evil, the devil evokes

brought the guitar on the boat just to rock it, they all look at me like stop it
wrist
pop out the socket when im mixing profits, i prophetized this as a toddler 
its odd, the level at which im on fye, it triggers alarms in the stars
forcing the hands of the gods to venerate me, ive exceeded the odds

burst
into
tears
when you
feel
what i
feel
fuck a round of applause
need a square
out in the hall
perfected the dribble, avoiding the net if i swish then im obligated to a check
caressing the record like we in the bed together, hold it close to my chest


bereft (bargaining) prod. lowtyde


nodont tell me---
idr wanna know
head to the side, i dont miss nothin
gave way to the ways i was back then
what's that? cold case, put it in the oven-
yeah, move from the past tense
elaborate, everyday could be god sent
small sum of a hundreddifferentreasons to back up and dive in

crash
double back robust
never a paycut, just another papercut to set
back
advance due to skill and luck and sheer will
caught up in the crosshairs, chills down my spine
its evident letters will never let us know the end of times, youre on a slender line
i never meant for the light to travel past beyond
take it back, too late to take it back like fuck

speed past all the trash, smoke grass then a fag, throw the keys in the trunk, im drunk
gotta laugh at the facts, what's truth? everytime i give it thought end up in a noose, fuck
slacked on the back end, pick it up slow, watch it all fall apart while relaxing
flooded to the chin gotta gasp for the last couple drops for the gas tank, shit

pain
break up all the pain, watch me crumble
slain by the trip, power sent me off the grid
i don't wanna get plugged in
i don't wanna get plugged in
i don't wanna get pulled thin
i just wanna rest my sin, set it down in the deep end, watch my six
cause marked be the bearer of the wicked
i kicked the torch and set the world ablaze 
now let me finish, the light
its hot and fatal up to your discretion
now no more blessings, lock me up and keep the reverence

don't (denial) prod. redhimura

cutter on my skin, in the sticks - my domain
never sweat, im always freezing up inside my brain
microwaved lungs got me feeling sorta tamed
i like who i became, get up out my fuckin face

east 407, where im from
lay low out the gate, im scraping pavement, flames erupt 
never with the shits, these college kids are fuckin bums
i say it just because, aint no safety on my gun

im a menace
malice creeping round, she'll fuckin duck you in a second
the next second, she's over top but you're stuck under
the light blundered
theres fuckin thunder in my section
you look over, you see the light and so you reckon
but watch your step in 
its cat 4, board the doors
seemingly safe, eye of the storm
nothing more than a taste of faith
before you know it hit the floor
no it wont erase
eradicate and end the war

acceptance of the pain, byproduct of the rain
im looking out the door, searching far dont know what for
unfortunate, the way my brain absorbs whats in the mirror
keeping score on all but whats important, getchaself together motherfucker
say another prayer, do something for real
the stars could only look but never feel
always feared change, but look who's stuck again lvtely


tropic (unfulfilling) prod. r1ckxdr

wish i could tell you that im fading to black
bass blasting the track
whole time off the map
ran with the cats who wont cry, only laugh
seems sad til you break through the glass

the principle masks all the details in fact
i been through what happened, its mine, i hold that
scars overlay in the basement, snap

crackle with the mothafuckin L cherry, ash
crash
went and hit the tree again, dash on my feet again, i dont think i need a friend
nimble through the goddamn thick of it
skiddin off the goddamn strip again

I'm in the backseat foot's on the gas somehow
still tryna grasp how and when the fuck i got here
can't ever ask, i ain't really into talking

lately feeling bad on my own, crack a smile like a jab to the bone, snap it right back to a cold hard feeling in my soul, dancing on the cusp, peer over the crust of the earth down below
it's hell

the smoke never clears so im welling up with tears cause im here
awareness is the catalyst for death
ignorance is ignorant at best
the worst will find its way out, kinda like emotions in my chest
seeping through the pores and all the cracks
im chapped, calloused, rapping bout a session with a quack
duckin out the backdoor, stealth in all black
tonight i turn eternal and youre wondering if maybe ill be back
well maybe I'll be back
maybe ill be back
stretch the fuckin whip like a chef 
im banking on the stress, all that's left
line me up, the silver in my sight and on my flesh

masks (disappointing) prod. rasmus

everytime i talk to god its a scoff
lvtely why you acting like you got nowhere to walk?
open up your vision see it glisten in the stars
back from the dead when i laid into my thoughts

cost of the day gave me aches in troubled spots
swim against a wave, muscles strained, joints lock
lost from the way, some might say he checks a box
sit and ponder, thinking thoughts gon make me feel distraught


runnin in circles, its funny the way that the serpent will imitate life i portray
im right on my heels, i could reach out and feel all the cracks and the callouses riddled with fear
two faces and lvtely been contemplating
no aces, my hand is a dud
im willing to shake with the scum
im able to see through the blood
muddied my mental, all that glitters never gold it's just tinsel
guilded and polished up
on the shelf with a layer of dust
outside looking up
axiom to the sun
echo it back so my mind can relax almost faded to black need a battery jump
somebody gimme a jump

"ouroboros" prod. graydawn

dont you ever feel like youre running outta time?
i know things are fine but tonight i wanna die 

you might find blackened ideas in my mind
loss of time, i cant cry, i cant tell you why
i set my bed its underground where I rest my head
often i bled so awful, i kept all the worst that inhabits whats left of me
i beg you to see the best in me
i sacrifice plenty, im destined
the message inscribed as a death wish

dont you ever feel


"nt evryne knws" prod. fkwt

drownin and drownin, i spiral the drain
dgaf bout a name..
why, i ask why must you pile the pain?
put me on the shelf like wheezy
dust settled, i dont feel breeze
heavy when i fall on my knees
i just want peace
is that so hard to achieve?
why in the fuck would you leave?
im begging you please
trees out back in the sticks lookin sturdy, almost fell to my needs
needa feel free at least
wide range lens on the pasture, someone let the pastor speak
let this be the last time...
let it all out now, let it die, flatline
torn at the waist line
50 in my head, other 50 up the pipeline

im so tired of it
they so tired of me
ima ride in a bit, give it time lil bitch, & they all gonna see

view the beauty in dreams
what reality brings

i don't ever know where im coming frooo-oom
i dont wanna die but the day is doo-one
unlocked the door with a new waaa-aand

im steady on the start


"morose" prod. anticøn

see me
see all that i bleed
im running outta steam but lean on me, rest in peace
show me i can breathe, show me i can walk in peace
im walking on a line, rope tight, i never speak

all the while
ecstatic just to crack a smile
how'd you find me out? how'd you figure lvtely out?
feeling like a child, scour just to see a route
never let you down if you care to stick around


i need you to tell me that you want me, when those 3 words aint offered, im foggy
(its awful)
i want all your eyes, the third is on me as i open up my mind this shit is sloppy 
(the particles)
i think the world is weightless when youre on me, i could see the stars retreat when angels call me
(pls call me) 
you should never stop, my little star, i know its lonely at the top just save a spot
(feel like I've known u)

its so true, baby i told u
im tryna get inside your mind, i wanna know u
feel like ive known.. u... past life.. old.. u.....
I'll never go to sleep if it means I'll get to hold u


"dr4indc4rc4ss" prod. greg

Prod. Erra

all this shit up in my head you know i fucking doubt it

move the prisons off the planet how i push the pen

the way i raise the bar so nonchalant yeah that's a calm flex
leave it with no context

confounded sitting at this desk, microphone intently on my chest
transfer data like im swapping fluids, sex, perform a soul transfusion
thats a bold dance move, weird flex, im on the up when i look left

the steady stream i peep is peaking right along with me
eyes lock & theres a look of grief i clearly see
reflecting back, the looking glass is surfing silver seas
i cant escape the parallel
no wishing wells
just hope you wish me well

armor grazed and it shattered due to the ugly fact im battered and bruised, paid past dues yet the past is ever lasting on the soles of my shoes, cause I could run but never able to lose, however destined to lose and never win, ginger beer w gin up next..

why cant u see im pressed?

oozing plasma out the very thing that keeps a beating chest 
confused w the state of my passion, should i hang it up and leave it to rest or remain active?
just heard the bullets blasting
inspo for how i throw my words into the air, you gasp and listen close
or do you?
i know i never really talk but then again i shouldnt have to
cause in the back room it felt like tied souls but bad news 
reported on monday morning for torment and sad blues
what a day

stay shining thru a rain storm
i keep it shining when the rain pours
ill never say more, dont ask me to say more
i keep it shining thru the rain storms
stay shining when the rain pours 

SHINING

prod. neltq*

i feel love thru my flesh, thru my tendons, thru my blood vessels
& so i ache, empty crankcase, grave dweller
I'm never safe, what's inside is a shape shifter 
I'm only saying i could really use a session

better yet a trip to siberian peaks, fuck the grass, i need my skin to come off at least
deep down had to lock it away with 7 keys
reached far just for the stitch to rip outta the seam 

///

fallen god, fallen king, ion care what u see
a god of suffering, the king of all that's scary to me
make the objective just to get across the message past your nails & your teeth
i see your feet but theres a ghost under the sheet



the boy

prod. neltq*

i cried alone, i know its scary to behold
vacant after tones, still & sacred to my bones
on nobody knows, time & time again im cold
extra sugarcoat
never told a soul

i stay out the way, better caged, seemingly safe
memory will fade then flood right back, i lost the game
felt like mace, my face absorbed, it's acid rain inside my brain
resemble Cain the way i drop what's sane and slay my blood in veins 

my reflection killed mid-gaze
never able to be tame, control is frayed
gifted space to u, spent time learning the trait
I'm gentle for today, by the grace
holy gates, locked and out of place

i cried alone
still don't know when I'll be home
i walk alone
i know..
i know im not your home
i might be wrong

forlorn

prod. neltq*

i dont wanna fuck i wanna love 

white sheets, canvas on the mattress
paint it with the passion, make it a habit 
lately yeah my skin is feeling famished
touch me with intent as if i matter 

tryna practice mind over matter
but in my chest theres white noise & its louder
the static after hours, only sadder
tell me what i do when only bad news

tell me why im lonely in the back rooms
eyes to the sky like wasnt that rude 
what the fuck?
i just- i thought i would know when its the last move
silent off the cuff, i look right at myself & wonder what the fuck
soft eye roll then it's back to cracking knucks
banking on the pain, always felt like i was tough 
sitting in the rain, the drops are mercury, im stuck
waste to the grave, no sense to make me feel the love
head squish like a bug 
crawling when we met & I'll be writhing when it's done
crucio the way the pain just twists before it turns
truth be told i always knew the code
stoic & look tall to brave the road
maybe lvtely i just wanna cleanse my soul 
silent off the cuff, i look right at myself & wonder what the fuck

the thorn in his side (mattress III)

prod. lowtyde

[verse 1]
i ain't Adam but i found my eve, she a piece of me
i grip her ribs and go to sleep in it, forever feelin me
we brush our teeth, grab the keys, embark on rainbow road to see what's up my sleeve
marry me
pot of gold, infinity
sleek and simple how we glide across the infantry
well above the ground u walk, we float right w the trees
light up tree, she gon pass it first to me
r.i.p. to the earth, live on in ashes thru the breeze 

[chorus x2]
im amazed, so much peace
so much grace, what i need
oh my god, it's gon keep on feeding life & love thru us cause
im amazed, so much peace
so much grace, what i need
oh my god, it's gon keep on feeding life & love..

[verse 2]
strung up on the board, had cupid readytocallit quits until that PYT walked in, reversed my D.I.E. tendencies, like baby come stay next to me
litupmylife while i crashed and i burned, im looking at her like I'm walking in church, relate to the birds how i sing and i perch on the edge of the bed, energy levels astounding, i play w her hair and i scratch on her head, need i say more?
i think not
why would i stop?
she fill my cup 
i love to watch
her in that top
freezing the clock when caressing the spot
i hold it down with no need for a lock, a lot of love enough to relish in the beams of the light
throwing darkness in the wind let it fly 
the crows symbolize the death of all our loneliness, nice, the way i rolled perfect dice, a nat20 off the cuff, the luck is ample tonight, its time to ride out..

[chorus x2]

[verse 3]
& when i wake up, i reach for your touch the way our baby grabs for mama every night for a hug
it feels like magic when im gazing in your eyes, as if the moon was in our bedroom
figuringout the right moves to let loose
i love the way you let me have my cake& eat it too
i love it when u smile & the sun rises up out the gloom
you let me care for you 
its all i could ever do when the passion is true, & that it is
we've been through so much, always on the cusp of something great until i spoke up, told you i would marry you one day and so we chose us, hand in hand
who would've thought a couple kids would make it out the quicksand
and now we got a lil kid who's safe in daddy's strong hands, some call it gods plan but really its just how we intended
so go and play in all the love we created
wouldn't give it back for nothing, it's sacred
the gratitude is ever endless, all I'm saying

[outro]
& when you hear my voice just know to keep your chin up
& if it falls back down, I'm wiping tears up 
you mean the most & if you're happy then I'm glee'd up
from coast to coast ill shout your name out in the trees, love
just like the morning on a Sunday, fresh cut grass, a record spinning, let the song play 
no need to escape
blissful interactions till the end day
looking forward to a life that soars above a grey day

[chorus]

sweeter than wine<3

What if
I told you
That
Daddy
Raised a bitch
What if
I told you
That
I made me the shit
Stuck
Under a fifth of Jim, I spit
Up, up
Right thru lashes, thats a dagger thru your lid

Off me, push it back, push it back, don’t react
Hypochondriac, frantic gasp, I relapse
Hard to make amends when each day looks like the end
Scarred and saving grace laid the days to the grave

You might say its great, I can’t see shit without my fade
Ash all on my face, I swallow hate just to sedate
Shaken, stirred the pot with all that serves to cause distraught
Always in my thought, can’t rest in peace when all is dark

dry cry

Just cause I don’t show it don’t mean nothing, you should know me
I don’t wanna feel this way again so could you hold me?
Slowly creeping on the edge, im closer than the old me
Silent when we met and ill be silent they throw me - away
Watch how I stand in my way
Glassy knuckles after staring at my face
Wouldn’t dare come over and play, won’t you?

scissorhands

Don’t think it
Don’t try it
Don’t say that
Don’t be that way

(I’LL CUT OFF MY HANDS)

Want you to want me
Need you to need me
I know that you see me

puppets [intro]

IF I DONT CARE THEN IM WELL IN THE HEAD
AND WHEN I CARE MIGHT AS WELL JUST BE DEAD
NO ONE WAS THERE, RIPPED MYSELF RIGHT IN TEN
SAME TIME I FELL, BROKE THE VEIL, LET IT BLEND

LET IT BLEND
LET IT BLEED
LET ME BE
LET ME

deep shade of jaded [outro]

Be blessed the jester.. who has the means to cut with words
Cursed be the serpent, remaining in dirt
Consequences of the role you uphold
Started pressing now you stressed out and cold
Sign the line, its never gold
Awake til its early, the birds are up chirping, they sing about demise of all that you hold, I laugh
Punch til I bust thru the glass
Silent but top of my class
Most likely out the way cause I gas it
Ash lightly on the path when I pass it, misery magnet
Light behind my eyes, a different pole
Search for a sign while im on a doze
Skrt off the shoulder, face in a hole
Stood on my feet and I started to sink, had to muster hope, had to double down
Never switched the code, never fucked around
I was in the road, couldn’t see a thing
Stoned at the bridge, when I felt em pelt it had to show my wings and I blasted off
Looked at the pissants and scoffed, back to the base where im concocting often
Sloppy and bold
Low class villain rocking the boat
Lvtely I’ve been rly braving the storm
Levitate slightly to show u a form
Flow from the light at the top of my dome

Maybe just leave it alone

sanction

for u [interlude]

Wish I could really give u every single thing u ever wanted
Untie the ropes that squeeze your wings against your stomach but I
Feel like the weight u buried deep inside a bunker
Deep inside a whole where shadows wander and I wonder if you’d never go
Would u ever call me home?
Would u look upon my soul and see a stone cold stunner?
Im a hundred times worse than what I portray
Im so distant from the day, I think its so great
Really out way and took a different way, ancient pages laced across my brain
Never left a crazed, anxious state of waves
Ever since the wake, ever since awake
I was maybe 8…
[redacted] told me he would [redacted]
Unsafe and he [redacted]
Living on the brink of something drained
Tell me you’re in pain until you rethink it again
Never been so slated, ill slip in the rain
Even fought the grain, no avail
Silent tension, it was heavy, walking on eggshells
Never mentioned how it made me feel, I can’t tell u how it felt, I can’t bother
Toss it down the well, hope that water never swells
Seeing visions of myself

paragon

Am I perfect
Am I rly worth it
Tell me words, I don’t think that I deserve them
They hurt me
Inner voice is constant in the circus
Terminated person, ima purge it
Scurry off the edge, my mind burning
I dreamt that I was dead, ill never flourish

Eye contact make me nervous so I’m swerving

47 times I tried to tell you that my b47ance isn’t hopeful, I stay lonely in my circle, its hurtful
Stoic on the front, ill never show you
But if you listen close then it concerns you

security!
