Too many clouds in the sky tonight

Too many doubts are in my mind

I'm on the porch smoking loud tonight

Told myself that I wouldn't get high...

Saw all the stars and the moon tonight

Now I see the sun begin to rise.

Everybody knows I'm on my own tonight.

I must be what's wrong because I don't feel right.


Out of respect.
I’m here to collect.
I need it all direct. Yeah.
My name is on the checks.
Spell it all correct.
Sign it, then send it.
I’m taking all the credit.
Then I’ll settle debts.

Odds are all wrong.
I still make a bet.
I’m fog on the water. Yeah.
I’m not getting wet.

I’m like Moses and I’m bout to teach a lesson. Oh.
I’m writing in stone and stone does not forget. No.
Someone thought they’d use my shoes.
Bare feet burning on the concrete, yeah.
They come in threes but I’m on twos.
Which me do I gotta be? yeah..
The ‘what’s your deal?’ me. 
The ‘do you feel?’ me.
They trynna steal ‘me’
They trynna kill ‘me’

Defense on opposition.
They trynna take positions.
They trynna fuck my vision up.

I'm on a mission
On a mission On a mission. huh.

Was making dinner
Now im dancing in the kitchen. huh.

Another winner
Bout to whip up some addiction. uh.

A twitchy trigger
Bout to kill another pidgeon. uh.

I'm in the mirror
See the frame is like a prison

I'm not a quitter
And this smoke has been tradition

I feel a shiver
Read some fiction now I’m itching

They say the devils in the grass
But he's been hidden




I don’t need it.
I don’t want it.
Why am I here?
I don’t need it, 
so I make it disappear.
It hurt my throat
so I washed it down with beer.
Take my boat now I’m pushing off the peer…

It’s open water and I’m thinking crystal clear. oh
There’s no rain and you know I have no tears. oh
I’m sitting still — see my fate just like a deer. oh
I sweat regret, then I vaporize my fear.
