The city is a bubble
I blow it every day to work
the city is a bubble
I ride it every day to work
the city is a balloon
and every single day
I watch everybody
everybody get carried away
carried away (away, away, away, away) X3
Gotta get the money
gotta get the power
better get a watch
oh, look at the hour!
I got to get to work
got to get to school
got to get groceries
have to have food
I've got to eat something or I'll forget
got to be someone or I'll forget
I just can't stop, I just can't slow down
Just can't stop
can't slow it down

I just want you
I just want to
I just want to love you
I just want to love you
even if you don't want me to
it's everything everything everything I can do
oh, when you walk away
I want to leave you, leave you, don't want to stay
but then the night comes
and then the day comes
and then the weeks pass on by
I don't want to try
but I got to
but I got to
but you don't got to
let it out
just got to let you go
Getting caught in the “I, I, I,”
it's not real
Getting caught in the “I, I, I”
it's not real
Cuz if you don't want me, baby
don't want you, baby
I don't need it, I don't need ya, I dont need it don't need ya don't need it
And it's all the same
it's just a thought in my brain
it's all true
why does it always lead back to you?
(sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha!)
cuz I love to love to laugh to cry, to feel the pain and don't know why
I just love to love to laugh to cry to feel the pain and I
cuz I am fool, I am a fool for you , I'm a fool for you
and it's not just you, everyone has their own
(hey! Hey! Hey!)
caught in the “I, I, I”
it's just that “I, I, I”
it's in your mind
it's not a real guy
it's just an 'I, I, I”

Sick sick sick of this shit
been a bad witch
flick of the wrist
ive been a bad bitch
wink and a kiss
been a gutter kid
shootin the the shit
been a top chef
flipping the grits
been a lighthouse keepin it lit
been a lighthouse keepin it lit
been a lighthouse
been a shipwreck
been a braindead blissed on the tape deck
braindead --- did a vibe check
I got the mic checked
made for this
(nah)
but I'm a bathe in it
popped a bottleneck
made a lane for ya
tapped a vein for this shit
made for this
(nah)
gonna bathe in it
give me a soul dap
standing on a mountain
fuck a snap chat
took the elevator to the boom
bap heavy revelator
I'm a moon cat
got my big dreams
got to move fast
got my space boots
got my shroom cap
buddabliss bitch in the haz-mat
poison in the well -we can't have that
Death to the feds get a bad rap
we can make good cut the pig fat
we can make good
I can kick it with the best of y'all
getting fucked up
on the dub
trying to tear it up
trying to fit in the middle
of bodies bouncing
trying to make a spark
trying to get lit
cuz this shit's dark
and it cuts deep
and it hits hard
and I can rip it with the best of ya
packin & smoking
inhaling & floating
on a raft while the rapids getting nasty
like vultures no fucks
no shits fuck 12
that's the culture
buckle up daddymother
lil mama's on the holster
(Simon)
yawhat we gonna do now? Ya What we gonna do now?
Forget the bread, panini crispy in the toaster
catch a vibe, it's alive and getting closer
(Simon)
to the edge of
a feeling universal
got you spinning
like a top
on a flat circle
freaky in the box like a cat
call it if you want
I won't listen
visions on the fly
Higher than pink star bids
For my diamond hands
holding forever
focus implosive
flow state coasting
coming up on hot sand
washing up a big fish
everybody's eating good now
I got a witness
I can see it getting closer
ragged mile
won't call it till it's over
(Pierre)
to the edge of a feeling universal
got you spinning like a top
on a flat circle
(this just feels so crazy right now)

Take-take-take your time
you don't have to make up your mind
if you're getting pushed you can walk away
you don't have to stay
Take-take-take your time
you don't have to make up your mind
if you're getting pushed you can walk away
don't have to stay
you have it, know it's really magic (magic, magic)
getting stronger every day
cuz you grow as you go
like the rain when it flows
through the cracks in the rocks to the cavern below
that connect to the river
where once the lava flowed
and out to the sea
it connects you and me
when you're made of water
(Drip drip drip)
gotta keep it clean
gotta keep it clean
keep it squeaky clean ya!
renewable! Sustainable! Non-disposable!
Protect the environment
renewable! Sustainable! Save our trees!
Solar power? Alright !
Fossil fuel- gross!
Coal's old news
nuclear waste doesn't have a place
no more plastic (no more plastic!)
that stuff gets everywhere
(uh gets everywhere!)
floating in the ocean (floating in the ocean)
hell no!
cuz you grow as you go
like the rain when it flows
through the cracks in the rocks to the caverns below
that connect to the river
where once the lava flowed

Keep Drilling

it's all lucid like fiction
love slap prophecies
on poetic peace pattern
drew it out like a map
like some energy that I'm just trying to tap
springs hopelessly
hope you see
this bit with grit to that
it's like youre flying mama
lucy's in the sky with diamonds
billions of bodies
are pulsing pushing dancing and dying
so let the sound flex
let the sky bleed
let the sun set
cuz when the heavens opened up I saw me
but I looked like you
ya we're all free
I want to be your---
keep it simple like a can tab
twist it like double helix strand
till it lands and floats back
to the center
where matter breeds a birds of winter
you should always to try to second that center
give me a sec to reconnect and recollect
all that is in her
ya it sucks fuck a life given short tenure
maybe I'm mental,
(pshhh) I need a mentor
feels like they got in my brain and rearranged the furniture
hard to believe that this indeed that I am meant for
to embody dreams that have been cast off and sent forth
its hard to dream when yer busy settling scores
need to be clean but I'm so set in that ego fort
I need to make it
I need make this
before they take it
yup, they gonna take this
to the palm of my hand
I got a plan, man
forget the hourglass just suck up the sand
damn
Clocks only tick
when your ears fear to hear it and
time only slips
when your tears are slipping with it
these tricks are adequate but I need to transcend it
float like an acrobat
feel it out and flip it quick
the kids are like pinatas
luckily I brought a stick
keep their minds grinding metaphors that make them sick
the top dogs are getting greedy with the power
but I'm a dragon spitting fire
through the thickest towers
stuck in the game
moving pieces like fucking cowards
call me insane
but I 'd rather blaze and hang with higher powers
and I'm not talking bout that petty pamphlet pushing lord
I pick up my piece and put it on a different board
I sink deep beneath the crust
mantel to the core
bumping tight beats 7 times 24
I bump a moog in my megaplex
brain muscle's like a rock
watch that shit flex
I volley thoughts and my thoughts
write their own checks
rebirth the 36 chambers in the fucking text
mad villain
the ill keeps spilling
my energy reserve is behind my third eye and I keep drilling
life Is like a crossword
whatcha gonna fill it?
Didn't go to college
I promise girl you can still win
collage your knowledge with your paintbrush and your writing pen
forget the scars and grow the balls to start It all again
board your train of thought and ride it to the outer rim
Jah bless the messes we detest caresses the sacred secrets we confess and
god bless the lessons you forget the seconds you feel threatened but they're all that you're left with
and Buddha bless us forever and the people and the weather and when now feels like never
and Allah bless that long-feather that floats above your city while men clash metal
cuz we all do the dance together
Jesus christ we've been doing it forever

Easy Does It
05:04
|

Simply unparalleled
The depths of your grief promptly expelled
hallucinating broadband connections in dried river beds
the hardwood found creaking is here, is now, is you, speaking,
easy does it , easy does it
golden boulder burning on
the back of tomorrow rolling
over my head again and
under my breathe
looking through the window
Taken for a shadow I wish
you'd talk about it
understated faceless soothe
just because
there's no trick where
there's no use
If I got colossus to blink for a dime
thought you'd be here
but I don't mind
the cold shoulder cutting in
coming in hot
as the seat I'm in
bed with the thought
I wish you'd---
tell me what you want, tell me what you need
tell me what you like, tell me what you love does it make you bleed? (x2)
Thought you saw your ship
coming on
the unwieldy cargo unloads
like a gun
in a dream where
you can't find your feet
be as still
as a rainbow
let the sun in your eyes
grow so weary
kicking dust in the howling wind
it spun me around
but since we left off I
don't know where to begin
I found out
the whole world can turn
on a dime but
there's only one thing
that can change my mind
I'm a slow moving picture drifting
out of frame
it how you want
it is always from a far
tell me what you want, tell me what you need
tell me what you like, tell me what you love does it make you bleed? (x2)
easy does it, easy does it
easy does it
does it make you sing,
does it make you breathe,
does it find you by the window
in the backseat
dreaming
does it give you dreams,
does it set you free
does it find you
flying high in the daylight?
(oh my!)
oh my my if I go astray
will you meet me on the mountain
when it all goes down
down in the dirt and I turn
to dust will you set me
on fire when the jig is up
(burning!)
cool you down like an ice cream cone,
sugar so sweet makes me
(crazy!)
crazy business venture for texture
feeling out your own adventure
(scheming!)
tell me what you want, tell me what you need (Dreaming)
tell me what you like, tell me what you love does it make you bleed?(oh my) (x2)
(scheming!) (burning)
you gotta tell me!
Oh my!
Whoop!
Scheming!
Come on!
Hey!

What you're saying isn't all that's going to be
what you're saying isn't all that's me
it's time to relax, just think and breathe
it's time to relax, open my eyes
I am exactly where I need to be
I need time to heal
I am addicted
you don't have to do it
just let it go
let it go

I just—just want to speak, hear my voice
find out what makes you weak
I found your ghost
somewhere in the past
you hate the most
players symphony
I found your note
love letters from the past
I found your ghost
broken bones breed the cast
it's time to to take it off, time to take it off
I adjust, I adjust, I adjust
I just- just-
I adjust, I adjust, I adjust
I just just-
(time to take it off)
