LYRICS:

Verse 1:
Yesterday I found my Asics from eleventh grade/
Dirty and decayed, I'd say they've seen their better days/
I crept my feet inside to not inflame my ankle sprain/
They seemed to fit okay but they just didn't feel the same/
And it’s a shame, I remember the day they came into my presence/
Never restin’, always hittin' the ground of my town to start trekkin’/
Seven days a week I’d tread the street so free, felt like a legend/
Steppin' to the present where the wonder continued to lessen/
My toys I used to cherish are now relics of the past/
I start to wonder why I used to relish in this crap/
So I put them in a bag to trash, but I am too attached/
I wander to my attic, stuffin' them into a stash/
Late nights at the movies no longer have any beauty/
Once a haven, my bedroom has grown to be borin’ and gloomy/
My house that used to seem so roomy now feels kinda puny/
Why has my home of 20 years become so foreign to me?/

Hook:
I’m changin’/
Yeah I feel that I’m changin’/
Tradin’ the boonies for a new me, it’s cliche what I’m pursuing/
But a life that's plain is what I am eschewing/
Man I guess that I’m changin’/
Damn I think like I’m changin’/
But I know what I am doing there is no way that I’m losing this passion that I got inside brewing/
I’m -/

Verse 2:
Cruisin’ in the back of an uber perusin' tweets/
My screen is like a window to the life I used to lead/
And my window’s like a screen where the view is a lucid dream/
Hypnotized by the lights that ooze and bleed on Druid street/
It’s new to me, I used to be able to sleep to crickets chirpin’/
Now I drift away to hobos blurtin’ sermons from my cutrains/
And I’m pretty certain my apartment smells a bit like urine/
It was disconcertin’ but I'm gettin’ used to livin’ urban/ 
I’m traversin' in and out of bafflin' amounts of scaffoldin’/
To get a seat inside of the T, I’m Mortal Kombat Battlin’/
These people clumped together when I want them to be scatterin’/
And bouncin' off of me like liquid atoms when I’m travelin’/
Imaginin’ that honkin' horns emit the sounds of instruments/
In marchin’ bands to celebrate my entrance/
Cause fuck my insignificance, I’ll quit trippin' in pigeonshit/
I didn’t move to the city to abandon what my mission is/

Lyrics:

And if every thing we thought correct
Had just got up and left
I wouldn't hesitate to take another step
In your direction
Recollectin memories we share the best ones
And I'd restart at step one for your affection
I'd get to relearn what makes you laugh and smile
And get mad scrunchin your nose and your brows
I don't know how it happened
It's like some men in black shit 
A click then a flash and now we don't know where our past went
Or what our past was
The half kiss and half touch
Some would call it bad luck 
And i ain't even mad because
I get to experience you all for the first time again
And take you on dates so we can talk about the lifes we live
And i can't wait for that first kiss 
I want it to be perfect
Even thinking bout it's making me nervous 
This is all just so surreal
I can't even begin to wait to get to know how you feel

If. .we. .would. .re. .set
I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind, i wouldn't mind no
×4

okay, freeze frame argument
we’re sitting on a park bench
our past is running circles through me,
I’m stuck on your arc length,
every evening we spent cheerful hangs
suspended in air
we both agreed that we ain’t working
though, we ended it there
and every sip of morning coffee you made
after i slept over or the way you slipped your 
sweater off your shoulder just to trace me through 
your supernova tattoo on your collarbones
comes floating back in monochrome, 
sheathed in a protective cover 
i’d give anything  to relive me and you in technicolor,
reincarnate months back to the party where I met you
where we dipped and watched the starlit sky then woke up in your bedroom
it’s not a second chance, you see, I want a second play-through
some way where if I fuck up I’d rewind to an escape route
and evade making the wrong choice
program every date with a respawn point
and meander through the multiverse, i’d go whatever distance
till I happen on a parallel dimension that’s not this one

If. .we. .would. .re. .set
I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind, i wouldn't mind no
×4

i’m not your average superhero, 
i don’t wear a cape or tights
and you won’t catch me slinging webs through cityscapes, 
i’m scared of heights
i’m not your textbook superhero
i can’t levitate or fly
but if you pass the sunday crossword, I won’t hesitate to try
i’m not the type  of vigilante who goes off avenging homicides
more the kind to just correct your comma splice,
constructive criticism supervillain, yes, i’m honest when I prompt advice
but even when a novice writes I always leave my comments nice, 
leap buildings in a single bound, y’all should see the way my fingers race
through city streets of letter keys whether double or single-spaced
faster than a speeding bullet
if you’re talking words per minute
write so comprehensive each bullet loin t holds the world within it  
power like a locomotive, discipline of sage strength 
essays that I write are twenty pages past the page length 
not the man of steel but when i sit to write i’ve got no kryptonite 
as long as i’ve got coffee i can sip tonight 
call me cyclops, i’ve got laser vision page revision,
not a next-gen x-men, but i’m crazy with the red pen  
mutant when I’m writing, yes, my drafts have got evolving genes
watch me wielding clauses like I'm wolverine

I’m not your average superhero, I don't mask my voice like this/
secret identity's dull, I don't see a point in it/
I'm not out here to save the world on day/night protocols/
I just take my Pryde in sentence structure, phase right through the walls of text/
polished, read a second time, kind of like Professor X/
but I read essay lines instead of minds until they're all correct/
triple check that proper punctuation ends it/
perfect verbs with fantastic nouns like Ben Grimm/
spin webs of any size and catch a reader's attention/
nab plagiarists like flies, I write with tingling senses/
swing right overhead with lines of super tensile strength/
fingers type like streaks of light, whether past or present tense/
I arrive just in time, type more than Cyborg/
not Robin, no red or green underline eye sores/
I channel Raven, write in style of Edgar Allen Poe/
no green eyes, but tackle any beast of rhetoric that you know/
they can call me any hour, but they view it as a lesser power/
when my essays get an A on top, like Avenger's tower/
in the meantime I think I'll go into hiding/
a reckless vigilante with his helmet on, still writing/

LYRICS: 


Now ive never been the type that would beg for the attention
Always in the corner with some headphones on
People think im mad cause my blank expression
But really im just focused tryna let go of
 
Thoughts of my ex girl, the next girl, the last
I'm Impressed that I’m blessed I can check off the past
Man I rap to release all the tension 
It reeks of depression
And constant panic attacks

But fuck that 
Zig zags for a jay 
Backwoods blue dream when i call it day 
Oralé homie tossed me a corona 
The girl im tryna get at steady blowin up my phone 

Ya know it cant get much better 
46 texts man i might go get her 
Make that 47 cause i heard another *ding* 
She sent another text said i can't get wetter 

After one time man ima be her trend setter 
Blue sweater favorite one that she can't throw away 
Shorty too hot, she need to cool down 
Ima quench her thirst 
Ima be her lemonade 
Hook: 
I want you 
Girl ima tell you straight that's the way i am 
I want you 
My love is like a drug you don't understand 

Griffin: 
I been on my shit where the job site huh? 
Put the work in 
Strict with the verbs but I slack on the nouns 
Me? 
Ain't losing my head in the gold 
See? 
Blow loud till I'm full 
The sound in my throat 
Been crowd in the roads 
So fuck what you're on 
Stay advancing the poems 
Holding my key 
I might just freak on some drums like BWAH 
Yeah 
I was eager to run just needed a month 
I know how you sleepin on me 
Ain't been stoppin the growth
Ima hop in the bush 
So cold when I'm cookin the flows(Aye)
Old soul with the hook 
Stay roamin the coast 
From Brooklyn to Newport 
Just look where your moves 
I'ma fuck with the sonar yeah 
Put it in the beat for a snare 
Comin at me be prepared 
Study that, grow out your hair 
Samson I'm ramblin here 
But still on my A1 shit 
They said there's no replacements 
They want tips? 
Tell 'em Kick it at my place just like watch 
Runnin up the board like watch 
Crews county comin up the coast on lock 
Sayin oh just watch like 

Hook



Okay so I just woke up
Last night’s a little vague but I taste throw up
Had a little much to drank and I made little lust
with the shorty from the first verse 
Said she wanna fuck

I Want You ft. griffin

Chapter One: "It's Not Too Bad" 
Castle in the Clouds, coming December 4th, 2017
 
sample: "big sis" by SALES

lyrics:
[verse 1]
Woke up on a day when the sun was fresh,
And the sky was bright,
And the wind was was breath,
To the earth,
She could say that today was the next,
tomorrow was past,
And it all was its best,
And I know that one day I could show what I'm worth,
Even if these days I'm feeling down in the dirt,
I'm dirty these words that I'm flirting with,
Worth more than frankincense,
Worth more than gold,
This currency currently,
Fluently new to me,
Anything I say,
I feel it is true to me,
Under the stars,
As I fly threw the Milky Way,
Always go forward, 
No time for the yesterday's,
You and me soaring,
Like birds with the songs they sang,
People will give up everything,
It gets dark when no sunshine is clad to the heavens above,
But it's not too bad,
Cause,

[bridge] 
I know the way,
I've seen yesterday,
Don't think of the sad,
Just remember that's it's not too bad,

[verse 2]
Rise up through the day,
Till the peak of a noon,
Till the sun took a rest on crest of the moon,
And the moon carried suit through the night till the dawn,
When the star could awake for the day with a yawn,
And then flowers for hours,
Were drawn to its light,
And then showers of towers,
Arose with their might,
The world can be dark and the world can be bright,
But it's not too bad if we all can take flight,

And there's a way,
That we can move on,
Through the nights and the days 
And there's a place,
That we can be free,
From the world that we face,

[bridge duet] 
(I know the way)
Keep on,
And keep on,
And keep on,
Keep on going
(I've seen yesterday)
They won't stop,
They won't stop,
They won't stop me from growing
(Don't think of the sad,
Just remember that it's not too bad)

[verse 3] atlas 

[outro]
And we can be,
Anything in the world,
It's all waiting for me,
Can't you see,
The world is ours,
It's never too bad with me,

Lyrics:
It's been about thirty two minutes or so/
and I'm clutching foolish optimism like she'll slip through the door/
and sit down with a story, telling of traffic -
"Would you care for a refill?"/
yeah, thank you, sorry I tend to overshare with people/
it's just I've had quite the crush on her for - "I'll be right back with your drink"/
oh well, it's only been sixty-one minutes I think/
clink ice cubes with a straw, the table's candles forming puddles/
rest my fist below my jaw, her car could be the source of trouble/
but she hasn't read the multitude of texts I sent, and I won't reprehend/
like it could be an emergency, or she went to bed, maybe she just -/
"Sorry to interrupt, but are you ready to order?
we're closing soon, I recommend the lobster on arugula, the dish is new and-"/
No, I'll get the fettuccine, please, with chicken/
text her one last time, it's urgent, damn, she knows the evening's ticking/ 
like I'm a decent guy, well, at least from what I've heard/
I don't think I'll find the courage to stand up and say goodbye/

and I'm still waiting, wait here oh so patient/
wait here all long night, resolve never waning/
and still I'm waiting, wait here oh so patient/
wait here all long night, I'm waiting and waiting/

I'm waiting for her to reply to my text/
I know it says "seen" but maybe she didn't see it just yet/
"I guess, but you've been here for three days, that doesn't seem strange to you?"  
So what? She's late, and this table's purely made for two/
my plate of food, has grown a bit cold in the past month/ 
but it's not too far fetched for someone to run late and catch up/
any second now, she'll- 
"Do you want this to go, or should I just throw it out, it's been a year-"/
No thanks, no point in acting like it's over now/
I know my beard's an overgrowth and I'm becoming one with this chair/
but a decade's nothing, I won't be the one who's under-prepared/
for the future, cause she'll arrive and we'll survive the ruins/
until time folds in upon itself, so what's your two cents?/
...hm, I guess he left or he closing up the business/
I can hear metallic thumping and explosions in the distance/
a stray dog is chewing on a human bone right by the entrance/
there's barbaric men outside and all they're toting make-shift weapons/
I just think it's odd she's hasn't tried to phone or send a message/
but I'll wait right here 'til time as we know it is non-existent/
I'll just wait here and drink until the last one's dry/
I mean c'mon really, I'm a stand up guy/

Lyrics:

Today i failed a test
I didn't take it in the first place though
Cuz my alarm didn't go off for class
Or maybe it did, but i slept through all 4 of them.. i guess?
I mean that doesn't seem likely
Whatever though i guess it's behind me
This one girl said that she dont like me
I was like aight b
Then went back to sippin my tea
Today i spilt milk on my keyboard
Had me feelin... kinda like Eeyore
But then i remembered there's no sense
... in crying over spilled milk so i raised my chin!
I went and poured another glass in suspensssse
Tip toed it back to my desk and then i spilt it again
(Fuck!)

But whateveeeeer
That's what i always say
That's what i always say
That's what i alway-
Whateveeeeer

It's my choice ima love my day
Won't let no thing get in my way
When the rain starts pourin ima be unphased
I feel nice, feel light, feel good feel great cuz
I know it's gonna be okay
When everything's going sour i just use my tastes
Because i like sour foods and that's okay
Hey
It's gonna be okay

So whateveeeeer
That's what i always say
That's what i always say
That's what i alway-
Whateveeeeer
