lyrics

leave the 9-5, I’ve had enough of that
you might be surprised when you realize beats are fat when you sync like that
leave the bags you packed outside
don’t slow down we bout to ride
drop em like i drop dem dodos, thought you heard
eagle soaring, solo bird
know what to do when the truck come through
the one that runneth over
don’t slow, don’t fall down and sniff the cliffs of dover
here’s where’s your present? two bars in the future
check my skin, fingers in, find a sexy suture

say it! I’ll say it

i gotta lighten up the floor is crackin
underneath the weight we packing
slower slang is slack and
i gotta make em move

I gotta change what’s happenin

if the edge was a language then I feel like I’d be fluent
man this track is a banger, make em feel they going through it
stay and smile there’s no anger, I done smoke and drank right through it
trust in knowing the angle of a trigger, never pulled it
cold steel, hot flesh
bass pumping in your chest
hide and show my best
being lonely, anti-stress
trough crest up and down I’m such a mess
this was supposed to be a happy song, I got it all wrong
keep ya moving is what seems most vital
words we write are a trifle
american idols are suicidal
keep on hoping for something normal
If i grew fins, I’d shake my dorsal
each morsel of life must be chewed 25 times
like my rhymes and solving crimes

“I had never seen the jungle. They fed me behind bars from an iron pan till one night I felt that I was Bagheera - the Panther - and no man's plaything, and I broke the silly lock with one blow of my paw and came away; and because I had learned the ways of men, I became more terrible in the jungle than Shere Khan.” ... more
