rainy days:

beat: Daydreamer produced by:  ITZSPVCEMAN

VERSE 1:
Thought I wasn't gonna get up today,
Thought about mistakes I've been making,
This skin I think as hard as stone till it starts flaking,
Falling scales and rubble, triple double,
Hint of mint and then you muttle,
Run and splash into the puddle,
'Member us love as a couple,
Thought I'd never get in trouble,
Thought I'd never hit the bottle,
Open throttle, walk or hobble,
Talking like he's gonna topple,
And I know that I keep saying,
I'm OK and that's the way I feel,
Except on certain days,
When rent needs paid,
Rainbow looks grey,
Those Rainy Days,
I need escape,
And take a day to play in shade,

And we were made in the dark,
And we're gonna play till the spark,
Is gone,
Wish I was home,
Or not alone,
I grab a phone and dial...

CHORUS

VERSE 2:
If I was lost without a map in the woods would you help me find it?
Cuz I think you would,
Thought I knew people good,
Like seventeen years old,
And feeling things I never felt before,
But trapped behind some kind of door,
I think I'm ugly,
Momma not gonna help me,
Come to sudden realizations,
Like I'm taking bites forbidden fruit,
Pay attention,
But she's cute,
Got a checklist for breakfast,
Smoke a bowl to feel stressless,
My friend died in the night time,
Didn't know till the light time,
Talking later like what just exactly happened,
One second you're rapping,
One second you're napping,
On the couch in the front room just laughting,
And I just keep on starting over...

CHORUS

OUTRO:
Hearing "Wobble baby wobble..."
Headed back to the apartment,
Running/walking didn't matter,
Black Eyed Peas "Let's get it started"
Controversial wrong decisions,
For all parties involved,
Momma said I'd have it all,
She just never got the call,
Take a walk like Central Park,
Oohed and awed when saw the Lark,
Went and burnt your pocket knife,
Oh my god I saw the light,
Holy ghost and present air,
Wife is church yet no affair,
Ask two times just why I care,
Thought you was gonna get a different answer,
Get a different answer,
Wait a few to get to prancer,
And yes I do say fuck you cancer,
And yes I do stay out for lunch,
And yes I do say not that much,
And yes I do say he said she said,
Thought I be blessed,
Can't hear stress,
Can't bear stress,
Goodbye Stress...

Lalalalala

rainy days w/out hook (Demo)

you'll go far (prologue):

beat: 23 produced by: Dran Fresh

VERSE:
Lights go up on a stage somewhere,
Lights go up on a stage somewhere,
Lights go up on a stage somewhere, 
And I just keep on running,
You gotta keep going,
When that tricky keep going ain't fair,
Never said life would be fair,
No,
This is the train that keeps on going,
This is the way you make it home,
This the way I provide some,
Context to the abbreviated universe in my chest,
Google things that rhyme with chest,
Never said I was the next Shakespeare,
So back off and give it a fucking rest,
I'm blessed,
But god damnit sometimes I don't feel it,
Gotta problem reveal it,
Scared to death you conceal it,
Words can burn and, I feel it,
Hot and loose man, I feel it,
Took a few days to cope but I'm top shape that man of steel shit (haha)
Got a feelingm it's purpose,
Gotta work man, its worth it,
Gotta girl in Miami-
No I dont- my life''s perfect,
Well, not perfect but worth it,
Used that rhyme two times,
Worth it,
They're gonna have to throw me out I am not leaving on purpose.

Produced by: thought i

VERSE 1:
I hope i live forever or my next life is well lit,
I guess i get cuaght up in quiet spaces and get hit,
in face with all past memories,
like shitty movies in the basement,
blanket over, "come here lover,"
to my surprise, a new investment,

used to want to stand out now i blend in the crowd,
used to have to send out now i can't afford the loud,
but i'm about to go someplace, i do mean right now...
sometimes i think i'm running in place...

CHORUS:
ain't nothing going on,
you saw 'em,
ain't nothing going wrong,
besides em,
you wanna take a break,
relate it.

i'm just running next to you...

VERSE 2:
 i used to sing in church and now I just sing in my roommate's ears,
If I stumble when I talk I swear I'm just happy to be here
thought I'd get to skip today and just call it a leap year
nothing to see here
promised I'd be here
let me make this one thing clear

the first day
the eyes glaze
the promenade
the sashay

It's all pre-made and packaged,
in a labaratory and gets shipped to the masses,
thought I wasn't gonna preach today but then I felt the spirit
gotta mind to turn this shit off but damn it i gotta hear it

gotta clear it out your mind, 
it's summer time
and if it's not summer time
i can't really help you here

CHORUS:

SINGY BIT:
runnin', runnin', baby,
runnin' till we're crazy,

(everybody come on, put a smile on)

VERSE 3:
thought I'd been to my november
thought a burn was just an ember
thought a stick was just a splinter
thought I had the perfect temper
thought a million different things
go out a million different ways. 
shit just turned into a craze
got kids laughing on their rainy days

and if you wonder why we're running away, 
you yell a lot but you don't hear what we say,
in the way,
gotta move,
for your sake,
gotta prove,
that you can,
last until,
you are too,
forced to lose,

SINGY BIT:
(roughly) da do, ooh, ooh, ahh, doe doe, doodeloo, hoo hoo hoo,

TALKY BIT:
Uh, hey mom- i- i keep calling but i can't seem to- catch you- uh- first day of school was great- or good, i guess. you know... it's definitely weird. I miss home. i miss you, i miss dad. i miss the way things used to be. but it's just day one, right? just call me back when you can.

beat: Winter Time produced by: RRAREBEAR
guitar/vocals: thought i
VERSE 1:
If you're feeling the tune,
Get out of the room,
I said if you're feeling the tune...

The least desirable,
The most admirable,
Like a second ago,
Light a match in the snow,
Like a contrast,
Turn up the effect and watch it fall like a rock,
Like concrete off the dock,
Like I'm trying hip hop,
Like I won't stop,
Like I finally think it's worth it,
Like I finally found a verse that was perfect,
Like I finally sat my ass up started working,
Till days end,
Gonna skip on my friends,
Gonna harness my time,
Gonna put it on my back and start flying,
Don't get too close to the sun or you're gonna burn up,
But don't drink too much at the club or you might turn up,
But I want it it's true,
But do I want it with you,
Take a turn or take two,
Then go put on your shoes cuz,

CHORUS:
Ooh, look at all the views,
Sit in my living room,
And hum a little tune,
Lord there's a world passing outside my window,
Hey,
Lord there's a world passing outside my window...

VERSE 2:
Disappear into smoke,
And partake on the couch,
And we laughing out loud,
Taking time for our troubles,
Which is more work than doubles,
Tell me when that shit starts to hurt,
When that smoke gonna work?
When the doctor gonna fix it?
I missed it, just missed it,
Put in palm and fist it,
Swallow down for troubles,
Kid told you no mumbles,
Speak out to be heard,
It don't matter,
Cuz you fight it no pause,
And you work till you sleep,
Don't loosen that grip now.
Just dream that we'll meet,
Your hold like a leash,
And a penny for thought,
And a quarter for train,
It might all be the same,
When it all goes down,
I want it it's true,
But do I want it with you,
Take a turn or take two,
Then go put on your shoes...

CHORUS:

OUTRO:
Going green to pass the time,
City talks but so do I,
You and I don't have the time
But I'll try...

end of play:
it's takin' a while to figure out,
just what this whole thing is about,
and i don't know if i'm in or out,
so, i'm just gonna wait and see,
i'm just gonna wait and see me,
in the bedroom,
broken pavement,
less embracin',
glad you made it,
broke and colder,
god, im older,
heart is breaking,
so im just gonna wait and see...

VERSE ONE:
thought i wasn't gonna get into it,
the timer clicked and you went,
it's time for me to admit,
it went south,

i'll take a number and wait,
it's getting close to the date,
when the words went and came,
out my mouth,

i lean on walls like i need the support,
i'm trying to change up my position,
take perspective to court,
wish i knew all of these things that i have in store,
i'm getting restless in bed,

CHORUS:
got a white flag like surrender,
got a shade to match my light,
gotta meet me out and talk about our lives,
gonna smoke cigars and immediately regret it,
gonna die real soon,
so we're not gonna waste this,

VERSE 2:
see, i got Saba in my brain like when am i gonna kick the bucket,
and Noname's talking about the shadow man so how'm i be above it,

i get lost and i find my way back,
take time, think it out then react,

i guess i never got the picture,
don't forget to take it with you,
growing old ain't the issue,
i'll take another lap around like-

working double time...
hope you stay alive...
you are not deprived...
remember summer time... 

CHORUS:
got a white flag like surrender,
got a shade to match my light,
gotta meet me out and talk about our lives,
gonna smoke cigars and immediately regret it,
gonna die real soon,
so we're not gonna waste this,

VERSE 3:
I'm at the bar,
well, actually i'm sittin' in my room,
just wri-ting down bars,
planning how i'm gonna reach the moon,

when the world is out to get you,
it don't seem right,
you fantasize cuz you never get to sleep at night,
i pray to God, 'fore i die, that i make this change,
sick of people dying, sick of countin' the names

but don't get it confused, i'm never givin' it up,
fundin' a scholarship, i'm trying to spread the love,
been alone so long i'm used to over-workin',
my students told me doin' this alone ain't worth it,

re-evaluating every move i make,
i'm over-analyzing every word i say,
twenty-two now, i should welcome the change,
white flag wavin', guess i'm leavin' the game

CHORUS:
got nothin' on my mind,
yeah(oh),
i feel like im behind,
yeah (oh),
i keep runnin' side to side,
yeah (oh),
i'm runnin', i'm running,

nothin' on my mind,
oh,
(flip it)
feel this all the time,
oh,
(get it)
gunnin' side to side,
oh,
and i feel just fine, 
no, i feel sublime,
all the time, yeah

VERSE:
runnin', fallin', like it matters,
'least you get the message,
i'm tellin' stories,
and you're goin' for it,
boy just eat your breakfast,
i relish any attempt to follow the introspective,
since i moved Chicago my mood has been a broken record,
i could get some pills from the doc,
but i think i'm fine,
have you heard the good news today?
maybe another time,
thought i was supposed to turn up,
but i'll just take this shit as a sign,
runnin' for the exit like i'm about to be out of time,
oh,
like i'm out of time, like i'm out of time,
oh,
if you're feelin' the tune,
you know what to do,

CHORUS

oh,
oh,
oh

all the time (runnin')

soliloquy

INTRO:
I think we've got a little ways to go,
I think this house could be more than just a home,
and look at all the places we could roam,
but this is just my journal,
please do not listen

VERSE 1:
I keep my loves up on my sleeve but roll em up cuz i get hot,
i rock the mic inside my room but am too scared to go outside,
i like to think i'm unforgettable but i forgot what i was talkin' 'bout,
OK, just hit rewind,
it's summertime,
"thank god i am so happy,
i am alive, i am the guy,"
a hundred rides and all those sides,
i salted and i "frenched" those fries so do not bother,
ain't gon' worry 'bout my health (even in summer)
maybe not quite ten but i got seven days to do work-
i'm makin' sure it's the moment,
turnin', gainin' my composure, ain't the-
end of my story,
dressed in the mornin' like glory,
down from the heavens i'm drinkin',
i walk right up to the brink and,
i spend a week in the bottle,
i start forgettin' my thinkin',
OK now-

VERSE 2:
grew up on streets like scrapin' knees and momma please,
and "no dessert for dinner,
i'm gonna raise a winner,
we gonna raise an army,
arm and hammers,
words like manners,
speak don't stammer,"
clammer, always answer back or act like you don't hear it,
thetan clear it, gotta rear it,
children playin' street ball- CAR-
and make a part, and safe in yard,
and feelin' types of ways (feel scars)
no time for takin' breaks (restarts)
no,
memories and let em season just in time for season,
daddy fell a ways for reason,
momma called him heathen-
we did things we both regret, you can't forget,
from long way, hallways creepin',
gotta reason and appease em, learnin'' alphabet like treason,
gotta get it all the time though,
cuz if i don't, see, then my mind goes,
you say, "it's fine" like ain't no mind, though,
you chewed the scene like it was fine though,
you tasted green with bended knees my granpa rest in peace,
like gereatric back with muscles lapse that can't come back,
you must've laughed when they called you back and asked for all of those things you lacked though,
so come up, third floor,
one time, once more,
in-out, no time,
good-bye, no lies,
too shy, untie
and talkin' like you only wanna do it some-

OUTRO:
life is imitation, a game a nation wide (life is good)
you can know your roll but you cannot pick your side,
scared at the church like i cannot face the bride,
running out the door- driver's already inside,
fairytales and happy endings never end this good,
i am a simpleton, remind me how i live this good,
i have a sister, we fought,
i have a lost dog, he caught,
i have a teacher, he taught,
i never lived this good,
i'm reachin' family for breakfast,
i'm meetin' gods in parked cars,- livin' so far-
i never lived this good,
i don't know if i could,
i don't know if i should...
