wake up. 04:19
Perfect balance between instincts of an animal and human empathetics Get configured like it's Chastiefol Samurai who smell of sunflower, cat calico The sense polychromatic but he chilling on the patio Sleep, having synesthetic dreams, activating all the keys like a distant memory From a kingdom still untouched, we join hearts You getting crushed, keep my oath oblivion Imminent from fisticuffs, semi-autonomous nobodies crossed up like an anagram Switch ya names up, still ain't gon' say nothin' see you thru the phantom scan Fulton, full body lift, translators on reconnaissance Broken language our preponderance Don't leave no space for the politics You might have to fall back to the cosmos for the reset Grind until the morning ask my future did I eat yet Ain't no easy answer premonitions getting remixed Petals break and stems get ground up to some lovely tinctures You might have to fall back to the cosmos for the reset Grind until the morning ask my future did I eat yet Ain't no easy answer premonitions getting remixed Petals break and stems get ground up to some lovely tinctures You might have to fall back to the cosmos for the reset Grind until the morning ask my future did I eat yet Ain't no easy answer premonitions getting remixed Petals break and stems get ground up to some lovely tinctures It's been a strange 24 months Molly water nightmares on New Year's Maintain time adopting Peloton lifestyle it work out but it don't go nowhere I got a painstaking type hunch Conflict follow like taxes and death Put these polydactyl paws all in, is you widdit or did you dip Call that Schrodinger's cap You intend well but the follow up lacked The conviction was there but your form is a mess I got some ideas despite you not needing my two cents Here let me help you with that Stiffen ya back chest to the wind You wont improve if you only playing chess with yaself Bring in ya friends, let em assess Are you a leader of men or a bed of regret The bedlam is next, I hope you ready Big boss talk like you step into your own Off the labor of the ones who came before you that's the funny thing Niggas been sampling history, when I make hip-hop I time travel My own mistakes superimposed on the record as criminal I hope to take all these lessons turn em to negro spirituals This body a temporary vessel its bound to physical I gotta be aiming for timeless if not then I'm miserable I got people to save Futures to ensure stay fortuitous Soon to be ludicrous dividends We disturbing the peace and imbibing blessings like a eucharist At the adoration of consumerists Still immune to the blue checks, that's their path, I'm on my own time Ya influence don't mean you lucid The new guy checked in and clocked out as fast as he moved in Timmy Turners wish an early end cause its more lucrative to them Posthumous albums do really well Love me while I'm here, cause there ain't no guarantee that imma wake up Guided meditations with the crowd is worth a lot more than some pay stubs Love me while I'm here, cause there ain't no guarantee that imma wake up Guided meditations with the crowd is worth a lot more than some pay stubs Love me while I'm here, cause there ain't no guarantee that imma wake up Guided meditations with the crowd is worth a lot more than some pay stubs Love me while I'm here, cause there ain't no guarantee that imma wake up Guided meditations with the crowd is worth a lot more than some pay stubs

If you clipped then it's clipped nigga back down I got the exact route I could see you bow down To the king If you clipped then it's clipped nigga back down I got the exact route I could see you bow down To the king When I'm forsaken you gon' pray for me Let ya power course thru unspoken pathways to make believe That all this vegetating energy was razor leaves I'm growing more abrasive don't evade me thru a vapor screen You jacking freedom of thought I'm free to assume The provocation sweeter than tiramisu Fleeting and free of consequence you cop to the plea I plead to my old self Don't let the chokehold release Paranoiac imperatives creeping like unmarked Crown Victorias In black settlements, I steady my feet Got my style from the gravel in the grotto Lapped over by penitent streams Softened by remorse for chasing inedible cheese What else My duffel heavy with expectations I drop that at last known location and breeze with levity Address omissions in my work space, compartmentalize the grief Cage the elephants, recourse found when the mastodons unleashed The trunk heavy as it warp the frame, slide on new terrain Upset the axiom subvert the beasts around Toluca Lake Fortify the walls as Amaterasu fire rain discord my mental Ba Sing Se Grounded I stay hip to, the games they propagate to pop a face My heel is rigid double helix villain in my DNA, don't ask permission I put my crestfallen thoughts into a tryst with disillusionment They gave birth to an impudent hooligan but whose to say the price is fixed You pay the cost to participate Don't we all I get in free and articulate Oh Leave the party with more numbers than when I came in If you clipped then it's clipped nigga back down I got the exact route I could see you bow down To the king If you clipped then it's clipped nigga back down I got the exact route I could see you bow down To the king Just a babe in the pasture made to assess his own validity Company in misery kept him fresh Got a smart ass mouth with a defense mech That wrapped his lonesome ideation like a Goretex vest, nigga I seen the depths of it, wanted to end my shit But knew if I made my family clean it up I'd be no better than All of the cowards that I ostracized for acting tough That say emotions is for bitches But ain't man enough to air em out Honesty is paramount to growth I get inspired by the hustle cause security a joke You either get it by your hands or step aside and let us go My motivation is to hook my future seeds up with some dough So they don't gotta roll the doja as frenetic as I do Ain't no anxious predications the objective is be you Unabashedly, olfactory you smelling my intentions And the pack that's in my back look like a Tesla coil battery Rhythms from the source in perpetuity That bop came from the womb with me My mama didn't know she having twins And I came up with some fluency In architecting truthfully I gotta thank my pops, he taught me how to pull the strings If ya words invoke the indirect Regardless of ya intellect I'm challenging the statement Better say it how you meant To avoid the bread and circus Let the burden be ya anchor Get enraptured only serving the mechanics to be free If you clipped then it's clipped nigga back down I got the exact route I could see you bow down To the king If you clipped then it's clipped nigga back down I got the exact route I could see you bow down To the king

Tryna keep my head thru the pitfalls Like a fiend cold sweatin' thru the withdrawals Fist shaking cause I'm livid with the discourse Niggas want the freedom but be inching like the whip stalled Floating with some stingers like I draft dodge Ali play the ropes but never backed off Leave you airborne for the record So the pugilists remember what's embedded on the black box Bodies like my own meant to transcend Maharishi method in the man's pen How you gon' omit us from the legends we was building Went from Tuskeegee experiments to airmen I promise to be better than my predecessors Validating all your predilections just to be us You can't fake the funk and you cant force it Thought that I would find some ease being remorseless But it seem tough Trying to embrace the subjectivity By carving out a hollow heart that don't reveal it's mysteries So I doubt in any palette that rejects the clarity achieved From mixing up the bitters with the ginger tea Outstretched index fingers to the homeland Copyright genetics while they rob us for the Coltan ET kill the B-plot, this ain't entertaining TV Cause they need us, nigga recognize Value in faith that is not quantifiable To shift through this space all in spite of parietal assessment Guess it's, arm lengths love til you get this intention Swapping out the pieces like it's Tetris, etch this Code into your bones, fuck a guest list The table at capacity, we restless We restless, we restless, we restless We restless, we restless Wish that I could chill and put my feet up But that ain't in the cards I'm a different kind of creature And I'm Saiyan pride is a blessing and a curse like Vegeta So I check in with my Orishas Caribbean blood gonna make me rock the boat like Aaliyah Til you getting served like Serena Pull ya cap back and get exposed alopecia Battle constitute me that's the vida that I keep up Wish that I could chill and put my feet up But that ain't in the cards I'm a different kind of creature And I'm Saiyan pride is a blessing and a curse like Vegeta So I check in with my Orishas Caribbean blood gonna make me rock the boat like Aaliyah Til you getting served like Serena Pull ya cap back and get exposed alopecia Battle constitute me that's the vida that I keep up Outstretched index fingers to the homeland Copyright genetics while they rob us for the Coltan ET kill the B-plot, this ain't entertaining TV Cause they need us, nigga recognize Outstretched index fingers to the homeland Copyright genetics while they rob us for the Coltan ET kill the B-plot, this ain't entertaining TV Cause they need us, nigga recognize
