about
I had a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head that I wanted to let out. This song is dedicated to my friends and family, without whom this song would not be possible.
lyrics
Show my day ones for fun, making no dollars
Bury it in rewinding bars so they don’t bother
Carry it so me finding bars is not for nothing
But if we got something, We’ll hit the ground running
They thought we were fast, learning the new world
But we’re coming in last, we’re just the new turtles
If November’s for doom, that means September’s for
Zoomers taking human reality for whirl
Looking like a squirrel, not used to the change
But sooner more than later picking trash in La Grange, turn the
Page, no more trains, in your room or the commute, you’ll
Be driving every day, dressed like a fool in a suit,
And keep your music on mute, that’s what your boss demands
slowly losing your truth, inspiration is canned
Too much
New to do, yourself to harm, reviews to view,
Summers over take the cue or you lose, here’s one…
Retrospective derision of tracks we’re frantic making
Elect to part with the vision we had like Francis Bacon
Pick up the pen, try again your future fan is waiting
If you’re painting my portrait make sure your hand is shaking
Show my day ones for fun, making no dollars
Bury it in rewinding bars so they don’t bother
Carry it so me finding bars is not for nothing
But if we got something, We’ll hit the ground running
Writing it down so quick you drop it eh,
Wired and feeling sick so cop a break
Sit on the couch, blast Lupe,
K-dot, Andre, whatever compares to me
I know it’s it not fair to me, but I think it is fair to say
That this rapping is my food, liquor, joy, and pain entrapped in takes
All in one place, but wisdom was bare today
So watch what you say to me, ‘bout failing to share my brain
Show my day ones for fun, making no dollars
Bury it in rewinding bars so they don’t bother
Carry it so me finding bars is not for nothing
But if we got something, We’ll hit the ground running
Don’t even mention detentions sentenced for missing work
Or putting kids in a box because they’re passing notes
Too many people said “you’re just a bad listener”
Didn’t consider that maybe he wasn’t diagnosed
Any wonder he found comfort rhyming notes in his phone? As
curmudgeons we begrudgingly atone for our loans. Yeah your
passion may be lacking but “at least you’re set”
What, like those private school preachers grooming students for sex?!? Fuck that!
Obligation doesn’t buy an adult, we need to
free the generations from the lies they were told, spewing
lyrics won't relieve the trees from fires alone, but I’m
hoping we can cope with the impassionate drones, who tell you
“Give it up, you did enough, your shit is wack, your rent is up, piss
in a cup so pigs will cuff and take you to jail”, They will
Fail! While we’re in this room, we’ll rap to the end
Whether sold out seats, or just close friends, let’s send it! Yeah!
Show my day ones for fun, making no dollars
Bury it in rewinding bars so they don’t bother
Carry it so me finding bars is not for nothing
But if we got something, We’ll hit the ground running
