The Miles Powers

lifelike.

The older that I get, yeah, can feel the ash on my tongue
Mmm, It’s stacking higher and higher, fhe fiberglass in my lungs
I ain’t no Jaden or SYRE, I didn’t come from no funds
I couldn’t be no Messiah, the grapes and  the plums
That I dried on my windowsill
I thank my stars every day that I ain’t into pills
Cause my cousins was passing em it ain’t no deal
Coulda took only half of it, would a spun out and crashed in it
My controller ain’t accurate, yeah, but it’s all for real

Do you like it, when I get lonely
Does it remind you it’s all your fault
Do you hate me when I look happy
Does it remind you of all your faults
Baby don’t blame nobody baby don’t blame
Baby don’t blame nobody baby don’t blame 
Baby don’t blame nobody baby don’t blame
nobody else for what you did

Do you play the game so you can save something
I couldn’t live with myself if I just say nothing
I got this one shot, load it up, here that gun pop
Nothing’s really good enough, chew me up like a gum drop
Spit me out, let me vouch fully for my cadets
Spent a lot years teaching, couldn’t learn behind the desk 
There’s a lot of y’all wondering how I deal with all the stress
Here’s the secret to my motivation, I just stay depressed
God damn feelings get on my nerves
I resolved quickly to just suppress it
35 really a thousand words
Wonder how quickly they get the message

Do you like it, when I get lonely
Does it remind you it’s all your fault
Do you hate me when I look happy
Does it remind you of all your faults
Baby don’t blame nobody baby don’t blame
Baby don’t blame nobody baby don’t blame 
Baby don’t blame nobody baby don’t blame
nobody else for what you did

Don’t call me by my first name if you ain’t know me since I was young
Just don’t call me by any other name, I’m still somebody’s son

In 2019, I learned how long a moment feels. 
Sat next to a stranger who shouldn't have been, 
delicately peeling away years of strangeness. 
We weren't catching up. There was nothing to catch. 
We were building with, for like ten minutes. 
She got up, walked onstage to a public park's worth of onlookers and sings her heart open. 
Stunned, backstage sat next to where someone who used to be a stranger used to be, 
gazing straight up at our moon, and snap. 
A moment, of gratitude, humility, 
vivid as present the second I recall. I'm still there. 
A moment is 2.5 nanoseconds.
A moment feels infinite. 

Let’s play pretend like the day will end 
with the sun fallin’ down to rise up again. 
You curl up in bed like you always have
and drift off to Dreamland for a well earned rest.
Until then, it’s all on a track to that. 
Where you’ll end up bein’ is right here where you’re at. 
What stays constant. 
Watchin’ the hands on each clock.
Still swingin’ whether you feel they will or not. 
How a tree still grows, the sea still flows. 
No need for anybody nearby to know. 
How the world stays spinnin’. The stars stay twinklin’. 
Regardless o’ whatever bad thoughts you’re thinkin’. 
Think ‘em. Feel it. Trust it’ll pan out,
like every other day you had before now. 
They say that any day could be your last. 
‘Til then, you will be alive by the time this song ends. 

Five years back, I was dazed.
Took one second to hear. Took five years to say.
I trust in my timescales. In timescales, I trust. 
Wait a millisecond. 
Five years back, I was gone. 
Searchin’ for five years long, and now five years on, 
I trust in my timescales. In timescales. In time. 

2017, I coulda been twenty-one. 
Studyin’ up in Northridge, almost done. 
Coulda ran for school president, ran some more clubs. 
Coulda partied downtown, fell in and out of love. 
Coulda walked as a grad, walked away from the mic, 
got a job and a house, two kids and a wife. 
Coulda laid down comfy in my home each night, 
and stare up at the ceiling, no meaning in life. 
‘Cause back in 2017, I was twenty with a dream 
and a choice o’ what kinda pain I want most. 
Be true to the art and let the rest run thin, 
or be set for life and wonder what coulda been? 
Well, I made my choice and I’m proud.
Reason why you’re still hearin’ my voice now. 
So five years back me, this is the moment you had in mind. 
You trusted in your time. Now we’re doin’ just fine. Singin’

Five years back, I was dazed.
Took one second to hear. Took five years to say.
I trust in my timescales. In timescales, I trust. 
Wait a millisecond. 
Five years back, I was gone. 
Searchin’ for five years long, and now five years on, 
I trust in my timescales. In timescales. In time.

LYRICS ON GENIUS

backstage pacin'

a cover.

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

for once in my life [prod. by mr. master]

[HOOK - Miles Powers & PC Pete]
Relax your muscles this distraction’s just a couple minutes
In fact I think you're fucked right after ‘cause it's back to business
So let's sit back and crack a pack of six to blur your vision
And rap with acid flows I'm askin’ if they even listen


[VERSE 1 - PC Pete]
I seen better days, better blaze in a daze
How I stay when I get away, least I got bowl
And I ate off a dinner plate, you know they say
It’s the little things, have a drink gotta

Celebrate, little rock out the cellophane
Little talk bout some little things, t ain't rained
In a month imma go insane, little blunt fuck it make it big
Cause it’s love but you know that

Love’s always taking hits, hits out the blunt
Getting vapor lit lit for a month outta paper shit
Shit I been drunk since a baby kid
Bitch say it’s love but my baby left, fifth fifth of the 

Month I’m just breaking in my liver live it up while you living
I give a fuck if you wit it I’m tryna make it big
No I’m not, I’m just tryna find my fucking wallet
While I’m dodging cops, how many xanny in my

Pocket bitch I done forgot, how many xannys are you
Popping just to stop the thoughts, bout a boatload!!
I see the waves crashing in hope you float bro
How many ways can you fuck ask my coke hoes

Dope nose froze in the snow living so cold
D LO in the know I love no hoe
I’m a wolf in a wolves clothes
On the roof burning woods slow.. but I bet I’m in a

Wool sweater letterman, getting head again
Damn she let him in? Duh bitch I’m a motherfucking
Veteran, with a head full of sedatives
And it is what I said it is

[HOOK - Miles Powers & PC Pete]

[VERSE 2 - Miles Powers]
Ten till three CD in the works, read read
Too far in the words if it all works fuck it
I ain't dream dream dream nothing
I ain't sleep sleep I ain't need this

Knee deep on the creep creep man I bleed this
All too conceited, crawlin depleted solve with a
Call from the homies, rhymes from the dome piece
Lying if I don't say I don't need nothin

Lines in row get the blow insufflate
I ain't bluffin way to far sufferin’
Puffin this J and I'm Kool-Aid sippin
Bluray rippin’ I be too far trippin

Large roots, 'bove ground, when I come round
Leave em dumbfound, as a gun sound
In the white suburbs, write with the sight of a love bird
Write with the depth of a sunburn, ay

Tryna fit it get it all in one word, ay
I admit it all in one verse, ay
One song too long move along it's a new day
Gotta spit a new way… 

Ain't yall trouble man better prove then
Eight ball couple grams get it movin
Involved in a plan of improvement
Ain't solve with a trance but it's soothin’

[HOOK - Miles Powers & PC Pete]

[VERSE 3 - Cloud Mac]
I was born in the black light
Never looking back, never gonna think twice
I’m nice on the mic when I describe right 
Pull into the fight like “yo”

But sometimes I struggle to write it all up
The brain comes in with the Yip Man block, yea
The hands move around and around on the clock, 
The plans break down, down, down in the spot

And everybody needs a little help sometimes,
Sometimes, I like to
Get a little jolly and puff some pines,
Some pines, some pines

And if that don’t work then I’ll try something else
TV on silent the image just melts
Black and white romance until it is felt
Attacking my trance up until it dispels

And when that don’t work I go out with my friends
Do something stupid that we can’t defend
Depends, we got the time to spend.
I got some lies that I will spread

And after it all I go back to my house
Get to my mic and then get it all out
Back to business got to get all this clout
Yea, you just learned all ‘bout the cloud.

[HOOK X 2]
Living in the moment
Sip it or we roll it
Ain’t no need to tape this
That ain’t what escape is
Living in the moment..
Yea
Living in the moment..
Yea

[VERSE]
Living in the moment
Living with vices
Ain’t it the nicest
Talkin bout prices
I couldn’t afford my raps put a foot in the door
Could there be more to this
A new way to slaughter this
All amiss in my mind so benign
Yea I’m numb as shit
Got me thinkin that I’m dumb as shit
That I don’t exist
Then I sit down take a sip
In the abyss again
Cognitive dissonance
That syringe better not be ya end
Hope it’s not mine only ever smoked 10
MGs of the H
And at these rates?
I’m at ease my fate
Shit it’s too late
Ate mollies to wake
Xannies to snooze
The damage is due
I vanish and I manage on cue
Hopeless dude can’t help myself
Can’t check my health
Can only talk of necklace wealth
Helter skelter belt around her arm
And it felt so wrong let me help through song don’t
(Listen to the verse, listen to the chorus
Visualize the worst while you pour this)
Drink for thought
I over-drink over-think over-sink
Puke look like letters and ink
Tethered and linked
I rather said I’d better my ways
I sat in a daze
And labored in my laze for days
As to Bs and Bs to Cs
Cs to Ds
At least the trees for now will cease malise
Malaise I mean I trace my fiend-ish tendencies
And end em where my pen will lead

[BRIDGE X 2]
Livin in the past that ain’t no better
Livin in the now I’m go getter
Livin for tomorro never hit the lotto
Live for now mottos
Keep me from the sorrow

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m fit for sellin' these, committing felonies
Oh shit I’m caught, all for naught, let me dwell in peace
Rather be free, makin tracks for the fuck of it
Yall like feces, hella wack imma flush it quick
Cords twisted round my feet, bored with this sound I breed
Tortoise on the streets but a Taurus under sheets
No thesaurus on the beat, I’m recordin' what I see
The Lorax in this story see the forest for the trees
Rolled outta bed, checked the modem for the password
Late-stage capitalism, now what that ass worth
Back page obituaries bitch I rarely mask hurt
Very very urgent like I’m burgeonin' my last words
My past blurs... future is lookin distant
Searchin' for my kind I’m an urchin and a misfit
Can’t sit still, I’m sick as Samsa feel
If I’m showin' up, sure enough the answers will, yeah

...

Autocratic got a hearta stone, been holdin' on, never hold it back
Own aesthetic I’m sorta etiquette lackin' lashin' out drone attack
Peace love positivity, ya positively ain’t done shit for me
Speak in specificity ‘specially when I straight spit to beats
You ain’t tryna be a part of history? Well that’s ok with me dog
I’m rather faded, glad you hatin' what you mad at me fo?
My placid cadence had to say this: what you got on milo?
Nada, yada yada yall be talking what you bout to be doe?
We don’t play around hoe we bring it funkadelic
Harvest it master it package it then we sell it
It sells itself if you let it, I’m selfish helpin' for credit
And tell myself that I’m selfless, I guess delusion embedded
Spend the summer in Sonoma county, yeah middle Cali
Dilly-dallyin’ when I’m in your town, I’m down to incite a rally
Sanders for pessimists, yeah the senate ain't reppin' us
Take a loan on your loan, well that’s just a load on the deficit see
We livin' up in the worst spot, but tryna make the best of it
Findin' lessons in the mess and then relay the messages
We livin' up in the worst spot, but tryna make the best of it
Findin' lessons in the mess and then relay the messages
