Lyrics
(but what happens when there is a bug in the system)

And the whole worlds bugged out
Asking mayfly
Could you please get these bugs out
Got they mean mugs out
Tryna tell em that they lucked out
We can catch a vibe
You’ll survive 
It just suck right now
It’ll pass you by
Feels like
Somebody pulled the rug out
Like i was supposed to lead
But then went and fucking struck out
Shoulda never stuck my neck out
Like a sore thumb
But im sure dumb
Poor bum 
Went and found himself

a cause to die for 
To try to fly for

But by 4 or 5 when the day is done 
We can all sit back  watch a setting sun
Set our selves down watch a river run
As the fishy eat the mayfly
Every mayfly
dies 
at the tender age of 1
Never has the chance 
to ever see hes different from

Fly fisherman 
reels a big fish on in
you can teach a man to fish
But whos he got to thank for this dish 
By tomorrow does the mayfly live?
No mouth to ramble on
so they plague me
Played me like a fiddle 
Built me up like fiddle sticks
I am innocent
Like a little kid
Just a little motion sick

You know how it is
You know how it goes
Please dont stop the boat
Full speed ahead
Its the only way to go
And ill grow like an oak 
Loving life
in all of its obscenity 
I am just a little piece
Of the scenery 
Until they chop me down like a tree
leave the rungs out
Hung out to dry
Heads a radio 
I am high and dry
Tell em keep your head high
Focus on your head high
And when the flies come
Say yum 
Im a beautiful being
Being beautiful 
And you’re not being mean 
Your just stupid and thats usual 
Try to meet a faultless friend 
And its you alone
Making wishes in a well
And i wish you well 
Well well 

im open and im calm
I just read my palms
I am agile 
Never cattled
Never fragile 
Lest i choose to be
You can thrown me in that deep deep end 
And ill find a way to doggy paddle on
I am torn both ways and i outghta be
Pumping myself up
Like a bunch a clogged arteries 
Thats alright
Look how this love kept my head light
Thankful for my family and friends
For the lovers and the time spent
Nights that never end 
Replaying in my head
Tryna keep them in 
But i can never get these bugs out
Bug doubt
Feeling like ive lucked out to live
But still a little pissed that i have to exist
Im grateful for the love 
But whats heavy is the rest
I will manifest
Im the best at it
See, I dont wanna get the bugs out
I am all bugs now
Mayfly is the bug tao

Convoluted

We let some things go
Or we let them down
Or we let them down

We let some things grow
Only to chop them on down
Only to chop them all down

We let or 
we let oh 
we let or 
we let oh
We let or
We let oh
We let it out

Resetting resetting 
These settings upsetting
Regretting my betting down
Ill say aloud
Ill settle now
Just settle down
My head is down
Im headed out

There's too many errors all blooping and bleeping
To speak of
I need some relief from 
I've blown out my speakers 
Its hard when i speak about grief
Not speak about me but

We all like amoeba
We need to be freer 
We need to be free of
Shapes and sizes 
All our petty lies
How ill advised 
Put the pride to the side 
This is do or die
So do we die
Prosperous 
All that this offers is
Awful its
Chaos smoke and its violence
When i close my eyelids
So unsurprising 
Horizons unwinding 
Perspectives colliding
 In Turbulence Turbulence Turbulence Turbulence 

Crown like your heads just a pin cushion
Been looking for
Needles of gold
To see if they’ll hold
Some sort of conduction
To make my brain function
They usually stick
But sometimes its disruptive
Combustion combustion combustion combustion
Exhausted 
I lost it
A cause to be caustic
Its all smoke and mirrors
No optimal targets
Relying on optics 
Impossible logic
To understand light 
Is to understand all this
And I cant even understand me
And I cant even understand me

And i just want to say something
Sometimes
I just want to say something
Anything
Anyone whos listening
I just need to say something

But it's the darndest thing
Sometimes speaking is the hardest thing
My brain’ll think so many things
I’ll always make an argument
But i still don't excel at arguing
I freeze up and give up its too much
As it rings 
And it rings
And it rings


I’ll call 
Are you gonna call me back
People never follow the reasons i do what i do
Is true love
Its true love 
Its true love 
Its true love 
if true love 
Is true
It has nothing to do 
With anybody else but you

Its true love
Its true love 
Its true love 
Its true
I do it to 
I do it to

Say Some Thing

I do not need any of this 
here with me 
and everything else
i am all 
by myself

Lyrics:
Give us the strength 
To have strength for others
To give light to our sisters and brothers
To share life with our mothers and fathers 
Who have given such a beautiful gift here to be
Give us the strength to have love for those we just meet
And to know they have love for me
Even if they can not find it

Forgive me for the times i was blinded 
For holding light captive 
And needing to be re rereminded
I am likely to do this again 
And i hope you’ll forgive me then

Who knows better when im no better
Im no better but id bet i know better than you 
I bet im no better than you
I bet i know better than you

Who knows better when im no better
Im no better but id bet i know better than you 
I bet im no better than you
I bet i know better than you

Because i never had the strength to deceive
Whatever feelings i was dealing with
I would lead with it bleed with it
So i learned that its best not to speak
And in turn learned to speak unto me 
Exclusively
id become so allusive
No need to intrude if you know who you are
you know what youre doing
Youre turning away 
never go facing the crowd 
never some face in the crowd 
For crying out loud

Illegal lane shift My face twists I shapeshifts
Body like a shoe without laces 
One good kick and the soul slips
The face turns unnoticed 

We never recognize faces
Its something they wear on their faces 
The ware on their faces
eventually all comes around
Destined for death and for homeostasis
So just be here now, right here right now
saw the world come down in your lap
almost missed it 
looking far off in the distance
For the love of your life
For a life you could love
To live for the love that is life
And i guess 
I just want the strength
to not turn away
From your gaze from your graze from your grace

Who knows better when i'm no better
I'm no better but id bet i know better than you 
I bet i'm no better than you
I bet i know better than you

In a world of chaos and entropy, truth, friendship and harmony is often found lingering in the strangest places. The randomness of incongruent forces colliding may produce a beautiful union. dischordant and dissonant frequencies given the right time, the right rythm and space. Given the ability to reverberate freely have the power to produce the most pleasent of soundscapes. 
although these unlikely alliances are sometimes difficult to stomach and harder still to seek out... they should not be scoffed at or eviscerated from our consciousness. It is incumbent on us to be open to these alliances and to be grateful for the growth that they inspire. 
we evolve from the chaos 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This piece is a longform journey in which slowly i added incongruent pieces into the overall mix, playing with the conflict between sounds. I wanted to play the piano the way that i play the pandrum. with a heavy focus on overall resonance to create the desired headspace.
the accompanied video incorporates img2img conversion using the deforum notebook from stable diffusion. I wanted the video to reflect that chaos. wherein random moments coincide beautifully. almost necessitating an intentionality. 
enjoy the ride

Lyrics:
Just for one moment 

Everything feels perfect in me

Only for one moment  

So I hold onto that moment and breath

I know 

This feeling can’t stay with me



She never does 

never does 

never does 



No she never does 

Never does 



But gravitas gravitates 

Are we simply waiting 

Falling to the bottom of this 

This bottomless pit 



I try to look up 

Every word that I think that I should say

But 

I’m forced to play my fate 

I fade away anyway



And just for a moment 

Everything feels perfect in me

So I hold onto that moment and I breath 

I know this feeling won’t stay with me 

She never does

She never does 

She never never does 

She never does 

She never never does 



Forced to watch her go 



But she never goes 

Never goes

Never goes 

Never goes 

Never goes 



We hold every piece of love we ever get 

So close 



I thank god for this 

Bottomless 

Well inside of me

Well I’m trying to be 

A source of something else 



Twisting my sweat into picture 

Making it more and listen 

I never thought it would come to this 

But I’m stupid miss 

So what do I know 



Just for a moment 

Sit in this this moment with me 

Forget that we ever knew how to speak 



(Jibberish) 



Ooo my fucked up poetry 



It never does 

It never does 

It never does 

Never does 



I won’t I won’t I wont 

Stop 

Or be (stopped)



Appreciate the moment 

And learn how to be 



But just for one moment

I watch the waves come over me 



I see through all of me 



And just for that moment 



Even when I hit my pandrum too hard 

There is a softness 

There is a softness 

to me 



And just for a moment 

I watch me 

From outside my shelf

From outside this hell

I’m well on my way 



I fly every night 

It’s not about flapping your wings 

It’s about making your center light 

Upwards to up worlds I said 

Take me with you 

Im just trying to learn 

But I won’t 

Pretend it doesn’t burn 



It doesn’t burn 

It doesn’t burn 



And just after I’d finished my words



So just for a moment 

So just for one moment 

Everything feels 

Perfect in me 



Just for a moment in time 

I forget about time 

And I breath 



Close your eyes 
Let me take you with me

Just For A Moment

please excuse the crackles and enjoy the poetry

The Benchwarmer Series Pt. 1

Red And Written (poem)

Lyrics:
https://subtlekeystrokes.wordpress.com/2023/11/19/roadside-bouquets/

I often find myself, while working on the roadside or walking the city streets, noticing beauty and life where it is least expected. Discarded, trashed, or otherwise unnoticed bouquets on the roadside are a stark reminder of the importance of being grateful in the most difficult and ugly of times. Flowers growing through concrete cracks, on the sides of bridges and through the asphalt. Discarded bouquets which haven't lost their colors, and even fake flowers thrown to wind can all serve to remind me of the same beauty.

One thing I think we all know, all too well, is how tempting it can be to surrender to dejection, apathy and self pity. To let circumstances dictate our ability to succeed. It's very true that the world can be cold, demoralizing, and even hostile to growth. And maybe your excuse is valid, maybe you were sown into the most unforgiving of environments and circumstances, robbed of your chance to really thrive in the light of the sun or thrown away as soon as your color began to fade. 

But I see a thriving ecosystem where it has no business being. Life sprouting from nothing! Beautiful colors in the trash, and I think to myself...

How tremendous that this piece of life and beauty has not given up yet. 
How lucky I am to be in the light of this, which would have been so easy to miss.

It strikes me that when we resign ourselves to thinking there is no beauty in our surroundings, we miss so much of what makes life beautiful. And when we allow ourselves to believe that it is too strenuous a task to keep on going, we forget that growing, is really all there is to life anyway.

Concentric ~ It All Pans Out

Lyrics
But in a past life my energy consumed me now here I am hearing out words from the wind and reading directions in Sand I stand like a modern made moon man moderate Soldered it gently well I welded the well see here's the thing I never gave my self time to even begin and I started clipping my wings So what the hell did I think I mean yea in a way falling a a beautiful thing and yea I know this icarusus wish where Nicolas spits comes down in the gloomiest sense
So hell heres a gift from me but on your 3d glasses se it vividly Im part of the ministry but no ones even close to understanding this symphony self included I too deluded in too diluted I acts stupid but Im smart and I'll prove it Shh there's beauty In the silence this is as close as I get too finding peace and quiet You want it you find kindly don't mind as i time it so keep running and keep gunning for the top branch of that family tree I can't stand to beseech half of these totem pole motives grope the rope like you mean it tear down the tears in your eyes the tears in the sleeve freeze child death is imminent isnt it great dangeroUS who me and you
Well were vandalicious there bloods too viscous. Im fairly sure that this blood is pure And were vandalicious  so I dare you frisk us Ill piece by piece destroy every crisp piece of your wish list you wanna risk it
This kids been wandering the state forest with a metal detector forced us to start unbyrying hatchets. Ravaging the savages in the middle of the night sleepwalking keep talking tough cookie good looking sick spider silk spindler keeping his or her pockets Cobb webbed results caught in the internets worth Probably a problem cross my heart I hope I die stick the needle in my eyell inject the slick poison me princess. No? No I insist, my wrist clicks and just like the prophecy fortold the reinforcements show up just as soon As I don't need em any longer Fucking hilarious
Well were vandalicious there bloods too viscous. Im fairly sure that this blood is pure And were vandalicious  so I dare you frisk us Ill piece by piece destroy every crisp piece of your wish list you wanna risk it
I'm swearing off Eyes on horizon and the sun is setting me up to fails like there's more to this can't be the bitter ends up that it's just me again I'll count down from tenderly tindering like a lumberjack timbering it's coming down  I promised you then I'd save some room in the tent but it flooded muddied up my little cubby where I Kept my belonging is just so abstract it's just a class passed although I never altered I thing they gave me and a plus I left in the trash. I don't even need to ask it know were getting blasted rocket ship rendezvous point on the moon point to the scribble called earth that disappeared too soon I don't wanna hear from you, hug Me like a straight jacket this is straight passion I'm straight crashing I don't want to be heavy fuck this gravity. Incinerate me and spread me ashes I saved this love up now I want y'all to have it. I'll rip my heart out and double bag it always seems to slip away from the ones who thought they had it are you bat shit crazy spacey Lacey dress. By my power invested don't make me regret this I ripped off my necklace, think of me before you proceed look guys I'm the only one that I'll ever need. This is my holiest creed this is the rosary beads you'll just keep clinging too like mildew it again and I'll kill you. Rip the mold from the mold all that glitters is gold low and behold oh no I think we gotta leaves fall with the trees call y'all I fall to my knees please you can't see this is more than a petty fight picked locked breaking an entering a state of retreat me like the splatter glass last night I asked a question started questing now I'm never coming back
Well were vandalicious there bloods too viscous. Im fairly sure that this blood is pure And were vandalicious  so I dare you frisk us Ill piece by piece destroy every crisp piece of your wish list you wanna risk it

Vandalicious

lyrics:

I am a dreamweaver 
a truth seer in this worlds theater
peaking from puckered edge of ethereal plane in plain view
i see the difference but i realize were the same too
many times before i've lost my center in a balancing act
but didn't trust that each of this is an ancient artifact
of art or fact where arts official not artificial if its de la soul
Ill hardly trickle down the tickled landscape of a rolling road
As i'm expanding i don't think ill ever find one home 
but plan to roam to rome and let all of OUR thoughts implode...

Jut like that something happened in the frozen tundra of that hectic hallway
as if to say this worlds a cradle and the love it shove is with me all day
Self Centered egotistical and arrogant they all say
but how many others can you call upon for help always and in All ways
I took grip in that tall haze and broadened my small gaze
past the tidal waves of consumption into a world of active passivism and passive activists

Blissfully and playfully i was cast into the spiders web where i sent a signal outward as to say
i know now not to announce that im the one when were all one and at once i didnt wonder 
why the whispers extrapolated exasperated I said wait THIS CANT BE HAPPENING
but it was and id seen it coming so my disregard fo fumbling rose and the sun shone 
bright as the plights of angels of the star striped trail of tear me open and my ego froze
dove into myself and left my lungs exposed to the wind you have to win you have to win 
you have to wind me up and let me loose perception always seemed to seam me right back up 
I dont need to be a warrior or worry or war with the worms of the earth for they too came here 
and they too frame fears and try to see the picture, I dont doubt it when i carry my heart in my hand
because my heart is a fist full of pink inklings that isnt wishful thinking and there is no risk of sinking
So lets go let go jump in and swin youre so caught up in control that you're sure to mis evereything
and it's all so fucking beautiful

All i know is that i came from the earth and i came for the earth to unearth all the worth and 
coerce all the cursed into a blessing because this world is the birth of the search and 
it starts with me 
no it starts with you
so say it starts with me
say it starts with me

(_ _).｡o○ that's their problem

A lotta people discombobulate as we miscommunicated I never resonate, and I'm the only one...I'll sit silently and delegate, I'm never tryna associate with anyone who to the bate you're hooked, I'm straight swimming. damn I feel bubbly weird and lovely finally something, and my world is massive and I feel I feel fantastic. This euphoric stimulation not a drug that could pass that, but pass that let me have at I'm perfectly ok yo it's just another cat scratch  isn't  it frustrating when these impatient calculations start disrupting formations, I'll be fucking blatant (because that's the way I came up) That's your problem that's their problem. That's your problem that's their

I never disregard, objectively objectifying every objective and once I select it. I bless it undress and calculate a message, it's simply these symbols exist like instrumentals and I'm just floating by when something caught my eye. I guess I'll lend attention. This invitation pends  an answer question that I'm waiting on the When will the light prevail and darkness subside to which he replied.

I never existed inside the fabric you speak of but let me express my gratitude toward your bewilderment. We haven't seen a rift in the shift like this since the last crimson solstice and I'm afraid this time darkness may hold it's grip if we don't start in the other direction with more urgency. In fact some still possess the candid ability to see in the darkness... But it's more than just that I'm afraid it's a craft, and this culture you speak towards they've been compressed, censored, and dissembelished as if their artistry were a witch craft. I pray for the day when we can rally in sunshine, if not but one time. Yet do not lose faith in the shared mission of this consciousness, mindfullness grows in the gallows and in time, it will be hollowed, their will be fallout and a new year to follow. With the blessing of, syncopated aura. Without destruction their can be no rebirth. You must accept all things feared exist and have their commonplace. Far far from your sacred heart

And so it goes.

Man was made to suffer to learn, not just to burn but to earn elevation and enlightenment. There is no written, forbidden hidden knowledge it's all out there for you to absorb and record filter and quilt or collect, and respect because it's part of you, look at you an artist too aren't you look don't argue dude I wouldn't lie, you know that, so grow past onward toward the membrane of Men's brains which is never finite, in fact none if this is. We can choose to dwindle or kindle it's simple. Let it bother you, strangle you and harbor upon your shore of uncertainties, you'd certainly be better off without a pith in a knot, but my opinion is lost in the fog of your cogs but that's your problem

(_ _).｡o○O that's their problem

after too long of a hiatus i'm back on, so back off. or just sit back and enjoy the joyous plight of the swarming mayfly.

this is my release.

the lyrics are too long for this description so they are linked below.

Spider Silk ॐ

@BCFCollab Presents a new track produced by @loftnt

Waitless (Keep Drifting)
Lyrics by Prof. Mayfly 

(verse 1)
Well i get frisson like a motherfucker
And i get visions like no other brothers, and sisters
This is for a moment in time 
I think that most of my mind likes to rhyme at least most of the time.
I tangle up the spider silk and it’s riveting.
I’m throwing out entitlement for enlightenment
I’m done fighting it, I really fucking like this shit. 
I was so worried that you wouldn’t be alright with it.
But imma will it into being, it’s thrilling when you see that its all relative
Mass space time velocity and energy
Look
Einstein proved it mathematically so don’t you tell me research conflicts with spirituality
Just face your setbacks and your fallacies you practically cracked me and my ego
I’m free though to leave, or love, and I’ve got shit to do
So ill be riddling through the dilation I’m patient
This thin walled casing, A stress evaluation  It’s way too gradient 
It’s gonna take a spectrograph to measure that 
As a matter of fact, it probably won’t stay in tact.
Rip your life from the tracks Throw the dice in ya pack, 
take a chance, quick glance, I trance
Look mom no hands!
Imma do what i can, from new york to japan while im taking my stand
with no fans
Wait, what is this frequency that speaks to me my brain hertz, thats resonant
Man i dont think that i remember in between all of my residence and dismemberments
Its kind of pleasent like i’m alway home, and thats the reason why ive always grown thats the reason why i love my own, 
And my enemy remeber me i wanna be a laureate, and just got published
I work for the public then head to the pub kid. 

 (Chorus)
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless
Or maybe i should maybe i just, maybe its just wait less
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless


And keep drifting...

(verse 2)
But who am i to persuade you?
And who am i to evade truth?
Cooped up I’m ruthless, i’ve gotta find truth 
If i reach the last page will i reach that last stage and fade?
Or is this sentience a mere reflection of a transient intention of a universal consciousness.
I’ll stay on top of it Ill be the page of swords
I’ve never been adored, but i look forward to the taste of maybe making it
I really just get bored…
 I wish that i could just live in my dreams 
Because it seems human being really isn’t my thing.
Bring in the sunshine, fuck me man Im way too lucky
I think i understand feeling
I think i get that real things, are not the same as reality
I think i finally understood why everybodys always so god  damn mad at me
They’re  not.

 (Chorus)
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless
Or maybe i should maybe i just, maybe its just wait less
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless


And keep drifting

Verse 3 (Spoken)
When a particle reaches it’s highest frequency and escapes the system there is a flash of light. 
We know based on mass relativity that theoretically  at the speed of light mass would be infinite. 
Enlightenment: the search for your souls resonant frequency. The eradication of the human barrier, the ego. For in that moment the particle is one with the whole of the universe. Every tensor of existence is expressed briefly through the static. For an amount of time we express as zero that exists forever and not at all . All mediums have the power to resonant energy is contained within the system. 

Where and when are you afraid of going?

 (Chorus)
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless
Or maybe i should maybe i just, maybe its just wait less
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless

And keep drifting...

I bet yall would do the same if you had half my fucking feelings
look the parts I used to shame will be the reason Im appealing
Like an onion
I’ll Make you cry till you cant function
Because I kept track of every punch an’
schlept back and got it done
So  If you don’t like it now man
Im promising that this’ll grow
Like beards upon an eskimo 
As if that shit could fight the snow
The cold is fucking miserable
And even if they miss the show
That doesn’t make a difference though
They still try to sneak a kiss in
Like its miseltoe   
I miss you yo, but
Imma blow up like a missile though
I’ll write forever like im cicero
Rapping aint for bitching yo
This shits for speaking truth 
I guess you didn’t get the memo oh
You’re so dumb need an elmo
Or my right elbow 
Dropped 
Understand that now im praising 
What I used to pray would stop
Slowly climbing imma make it to the top
And Lotch got the beats on lock.
Yo I could feel this a lot 
Stready sippin on the cream of the crop

Prometheus Bound

Prod by Areo (@areobeats)

I was feeling good when it hit me,
an echo i let go
its never been about me. 
And i was feeling sad when it left me,
forget me
youre never gonna get me.
 youre never gonna get me.

If i was a wound im festering
if i am a cocoon than im resting I
If Im fleur de lune than my moon flower powers will empower me. 
My mood changes hourly
my attitude is colorful enough to be inside a gallery
im souring
i don't even like sour things or have a sweet tooth
im givng up my sweetness the moment that i meet you
im not tryna blame you Id always rather blame me. 
See im fucked up now but my world is gonna change
And these words are gonna change me

Cigarettes and coffee really got me caught up in a knot and i get caught up in an awful lot, and its awful but im often having awful thoughts. I need to take a big leap like an ocelot, instead of arguing over spots in the parking lot. Fender bender renders him speechless like not today i dont need this. You always bring me down with your treasons, give me a reason these teachings never seem to reach them. Preach son preach son peace one love and the only living god is the god in every one of us, i dont claim to hold some special truth im just tryin to remind you. I was feeling so fine, just the moment that i saw you were everything you are then too

But every thing went blue blue blue when i met you. 
Everything was blue blue blue when i blew past passion
passed on your rations 
rattling the  stratospheres fears for my former years
Im just trying to get out of here, tried to disappear but that only made me clearer to me.  

Suspended belief im switching up my altitude ill change up my pace
They’re saying slow and steady wins the race 
that may be true on earth but fasts is how you get to space 
and when i get to outer space, i wont run out of space, 
then i can finally say that the chase was well worth it, 
and well that really feels worth it, its damn near perfect

I was feeling good when it hit me,
an echo i let go
its never been about me. 
And i was feeling sad when it left me,
forget me
youre never gonna get me.
 youre never gonna get me.

I'm just one drop in the bucket, but I still feel like I mucked it up, troubled by the rubble in each puddle because it's not enough to clean it up apparently, swear we do the sharing and then we’ll be the ones that never eat, cant compete, incomplete, adding insult to the injury. Guess shes not that into me guess hes looking out for you. Hanging on your clout, just to shout at a blinking screen and all of this to have my words be heard through infinity, literally living  through the literature lividly 

so look at me sitting on my city on the top of the world. thinking that divinity, means getting rid of me first. I'll let my lightwaves burst, and then disperse each color like a spectrograph, expecting that once i do let go there is turning back. Zen and then heart attack, Never feeling normal like a ratattat, trying to eradicate, things which fail to fascinate, everything is calm, right before it all disintegrates. 

And I was feeling good

Echo (Prod. Areo)

Prod. by A I R L A(@airlaorg)

Im just trying to rap through all my end time anxieties

Lyrics:
Comes like wave 
And the panic is back
Lying in my bed on my back
Having a panic attack
You wanna see me relax
I need a wrap and to rap
Thats a wrap
Music aint a habit its 
The magic of the madness in me
I got my amenities
my health my self
And the shelf full grains
Meat to freeze Milk and cheese 
And even munchies
So why must i wake up to shakes
And my hearts at pace
Thats distasteful
disgraceful
A face full eggs
And yet my legs are moving so fast
Like a horse on the track
Go home 
preakness postponed
I can feel it my chest 
Compression 
The pathetic little empathetic
Can feel it in his bones 
It wont leave me alone
But it hit like a tsunami 
Please speak softly 
And rock me gently 
On this wave so grave
As a lullaby to lull me to rest
Ill protect you 
I feel so overwhelmed
Yea im used to that 


 




Let it play for me
Let it play for a minute please
Relate to me
Then take a break for a minute please 

The waves heavy
But its breaking eventually
Tide rise and fall
But know that we always belong to the sea so 
So when your tied up
Just let it play for a minute please

Tide Up, Let It Play (Prod. A I R L A)

Lyrics:
Its inevitable, know ill feel better if I let go
Its natural, migrations of the actual soul
Hold on to hope because its faith
That will never let you go.
And it never lets you down
I been yelling so loud,
But I don’t think they’ll hear me out
Out there in the sun flare fields
Of these unfair yields
And its unclear
Feels like the sky might open up
Clouds gone
Life changes in a moment 
Everything that you thought youd hold close
Forever, is gone and then its on to something better
Mass migration to the higher now.
Channel me your ire and and fire
It inspires me
See 
Since the ides of march starts
a spark meets ignition
I wish i had vision through my cards premonitions 
But what exactly would I even really do different?
Id be Julius pimping, probably singing in my kitchen until
I am chicken meets attempted flight
Yo I got some air alright,
So busted on the landing nice
I am sacred when alone at night
Sacral to my acolyte perched on my crown
You know its hard to tip toe
With this all weighing me down 
but if these problems are water then man im starting to drown
But something about the ocean always hit me profound
So I let it surround me resoundly
And ill be Abraham man
The way I 
get outta town
But its not just me it’s a mass migration
Onto a higher frequency best believe in me
The way that I believe in me
Please 
Ive done seen all of the scenery
From the suns of god to the towers all teetering
Its an exodus and were leaving see
Whos leading us through ruins pursuing a shoe in to win
Who flew and in and threw the whole damn thing
You know it tightens my skin
Take it under the chin and
Keep winning  this is just the beginning
Stuck on a world that keeps spinning
and we never quite leave
We just head somewhere different
And its natural its actually love
The things youre so afraid of
Are exactly what your made of
