Lyrics:

How long I gotta wait?
I guess I'll take my place until the world incinerates 
Cooking up substance, go and grab a dinner plate 
Remembering to write when I forgot the rent was late
I... Clocked in in eighty six and haven't clocked out ever since
Signed up for a class or two, but most the time, I never went 
Put the pen to paper, the whole process is heaven sent 
Something in the mixture made this bitter man benevolent 
It's beautiful, I truly treasure it
Working overtime now to make up for the deficit 
Woke up in a desert, and the resources were desolate 
Met up with Arcade making beats for me to bless em quick 
Exercise demons like an exorcist, but effortless 
How they taking all these shots, but accurately never miss? 
How'd he spit couple rhymes and cause a thousand heads to split? 
The same way he was overlooked forever, but he never quit 
Magical... But you can't say that they ain't tactical 
Work religiously, but he ain't one to take sabbaticals
On the seventh day, he saw his work and it just wasn't perfect 
So he got up off his ass and worked some more and it was worth it

Can't Sleep

Sunday Fun Day (prod. Nick Arcade)

Lyrics:

The jig is up, nobody knows shit
Not a know it all, just tryna find hope to cope with 
Coasting on a crumbling surface 
Time is currency, accrue worth from your purchase 
I persevere, knowing that nothing here is permanent 
Whether clear blue sky or tryna fly in turbulence 
Couldn't be bought, even when I bathed in worthlessness 
Now it's up front, ya gotta pay to get my services 
Uncertain in the real world 
But on the microphone, he's got an ocean of concealed pearls 
That he keeps with em on a regular basis 
On the hunt for truth, it's not just paper he chases 
And I've traded in my purpose for a paycheck 
But all I got was nervous that I made the choice to waste breath 
I inhale and exhale to find the oxygen in smog
In my search for the sun to clear a psyche full of fog 

I see it clear when I'm by myself 
Gotta keep the fire burning til the icebergs melt 
I spent downtime in a personal Hell 
And lost everything, but that's what made the verses excel

I'm seeing so many sell themselves short
Settling for mediocrity without remorse 
I'm always wanting more, maybe I'm the one that's wrong?
Got a right to be it though, so I'ma do this til I'm gone 

It's really all I got, so I got amazing at it 
Never had a hit, still somehow became an addict 
I get agitated if I'm taking a break from it
Cold sweats, chest tight, getting the shakes and shit 
I get lost in it, forgetting what day it is 
For the greatness, fuck those tryna make it big 
I've been bench pressing questions laying on my chest 
Hoping that it works before the day I see my death 
They say I need to rest, I don't really disagree
Every time I lay down, I can't get a wink of sleep 
So I look up, channeling the energy in star shine  
Knowing that it's temporary gets me through the hard times 
Doing this is really all that's been consistent 
Can't say the same for relationships and friendships 
Or anything for that matter that involves communication 
I'm not against going out, but I prefer stay in 

I see it clear when I'm by myself 
Gotta keep the fire burning til the icebergs melt
I spent downtime in a personal Hell
And lost everything, but that's what made the verses excel 

I'm seeing so many sell themselves short 
Settling for mediocrity without remorse 
I'm always wanting more, maybe I'm the one that's wrong 
Got a right to be it though, so I'ma do this til I'm gone 

I never had a choice really, I was really chosen 
No one let is in, so we picked the lock and broke in 
Now I got my own corner that I'm tryna expand 
What they got a strangle hold on needs to switch hands 
Let me hold it for a minute just to keep my interest
I don't need much, just the whole world, some big checks 
And a private island that that I'd never have to leave 
As long as books and beats, I can receive with ease 
I need to ease the tension of all these man made inventions 
Consider yourself luck if you do not fit in...

Down Time (prod. Nick Arcade)

Lyrics:

When I was on my last cent, all of yall was absent
Off the beaten path, refuse to follow where yall tracks went
Born leader… Emaciated world feeder
Known to satisfy hunger with a microphone and speaker
 
Starving in a small room within a strange city
Make resistance work with me, even if it is against me
Make the walls shake before they close in completely
Locked in, creating combinations to release me
At least I got my health right? Baptizing my liver
In a pool of whiskey, never been a fine wine sipper
That was my dinner, why you think I’m walking shifty?
Still a step ahead of yall from often being always busy
Stick to talking simply, otherwise nobody listens
If they don’t see it, then you probably don’t got a vision
I’m just a victim of a bunch of random accidents
Praying for a destiny, but that might be a sack of shit
Still I’m passionate and absolutely adamant
For finding what you want and not stopping til you’ve captured it
It’s the man, the myth, working up to legendary
Dying for the cause to live on after I’m dead and buried
All I want is just a life that I can write about
Before we blow the earth up over all the shit we fight about
