red lipstick, free kisses for all who listen
seeking answers to her questions - themselves now still are missin
distant wishes slippin out, a head filled with doubt
missing puzzle pieces but still trying to figure out

lots of pretty girls, to make one stop and stare
but can't stop thinking about the one with lavender in her hair
every time she speaks the whole world stops to hear
pulling all the heart strings - just Pinocchio to a puppeteer

maybe tomorrow may be filled with sorrow
maybe get a breather be free to follow, these words are kinda hard to swallow
cold today but hopefully they'll be warm again by tomorrow
hard to say, best be safe, play the game, you know you want to

a great many days spent searching for ways to change
ways to erase, to simultaneously space and embrace
seems a quick glimpse and taste can be all that it takes
to lay reason to waste - put insanity back in it's place

been a lot of places, but I'm still reppin my roots
I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah: home of the Utes
maybe it's not cool - diluted brews, conservative rules
give me a second and I’ll tell you why I dispute those views
yeah -see I ain't from that big city, I ain't from that real gritty
say what you will man - but fuck if it ain't pretty
not much of a rap scene yet - but it's growing
new generation of “Brigham Youngin’s” with headphones in, flowin
(haha) nah - don’t believe the stereotypes
I have yet to meet someone here who has multiple wives
-I'm not gonna lie- lots of (latter-day) saints preaching faith all their lives
put past religious divides – I'm just a bee in the hive
mountains and clear skies – I'm inclined to seal ties
“This Is The Place” and fuck y'all who say otherwise
no matter where life takes me, my heart will always be near
beating on the streets of S-L-C for all to hear

Gonna start this shit when it kicks in
give it a 110, never gonna give in
'cause I've competed for weeks
at this rate I'm never gonna win
if this shit ain't hot 
I don't know what temperature is
but I'm not gonna stop
till my name at the top
till I'm heard in this sub like
Mani, Reeg, 50, and Doc
Got the skills to deliver
lyrics - the kind of a winner
inside my mind  you'll find the rhymes
that chill your spine like the winter
people dig my chill vibes
relate to my insides
I'm a soft-spoken poet
but this will have to suffice
that side's out for the night
I'm burning holes as I write
got that kinda flow that let's you know 
I'm up for this fight
this shit is totally tight
and you ain't mentally right
if you still think symbiat's a
white bitch with a mic
sweet 16's is the price
to get a win on this site
-go ahead-
nobody'd blame ya for playing it twice

been told a lot lately to keep my heart on my sleeve
but it's harder for me, it's harder to do than to speak
and I've been smoking heartily, until I'm hardly me
whether it's my leaf, my problems or my drinks - I bottle 'em deep

but I've been working my best to get better at it
working 24/7 to break this bad habit
-but I still haven't-
the word - my mouth still won't pass it
one step forward then snap back like elastic

and I might chance it - because I've been thinking a lot lately
and it seems like if there's something great taking shape it might pass me
and I don't want to be here just to watch it flash by
regret is the sting you can't numb by getting high

and inside I can strive in private to buy some more time to hide it
when you're conversing with the adverse it's an uphill battle you're fightin
it's kinda frightenin, viewing your own life from the passenger side
enough being along for the ride, it's time to grab the wheel and

drive
