[Intro] Eyes closed, and the fog is thick, can't you see? Look into my eyes, picture that Sharingan, eternal sleep What? [Verse 1] K i D, second D is silent, what's the point, where's the tip This iceberg is slight work and I might swerve and hit a ship If you didn't notice I'm in an ocean, why? I must be misplaced Can't wait until I can see your face, I'm drowning in a sea of grace Never can I measure up, no medicine in my metal cup Say let him up, and he takes a breath (Step away from the microphone!) Chocolate rain can you feel the pain, let's keep it Frank This ocean's deep, last year I was slipping My mind was gone and my soul was weak But I'm here, aw yeah, I made it to a new year Yeah suicide, was on my mind, straight tweakin', couldn't think clear Forget about it, I'm past that, that last quack, like Aflac Those phases fade like wearing little kid's backpacks REMEMBER!? Remember that? I remember, this lion's den, I'm Simba My Kaio-ken is on times ten, these dudes sweet like Splenda Urr, with the Tech N9ne growl Everybody's thinking that this little dude here can't spit Checking out the condition of Hip Hop With a switchblade I could pick locks, open the crypt Dead rappers come back to life, and that still wouldn't satisfy I'm a let you finish but, I can go last like Malachi No stressing, just asking for protection and wisdom Though offerings are minuscule, if I hate when I give them Trying to stay humble my stomach grumbles I'm hungry for that bread, and they break it But never eat it, instead they go straight to bed, like I said Eternal sleep, eternally dead, internally weak, your soul is unique But if you don't feed it you may get defeated, and faceless like Red, egh Cochise if I'm on the streets, yeah calm mind, but I’m ready If it pop off, I get knocked off, well I'm blood bought and I'm Yeti That's all white, you can check the robes, my rags were black That's Edgar Poe, just let it go, and be free, yee But y'all don't really be free, see RELT on the beat, that last letter's on Mr. T Or, the same thing thing as the oldest wonder And people are tripping over the mystery, but see me I do not give a, hoot, you can go and ask Big Mama The Fox and the Hound, lost then I'm found What did the fox say, and no I'm not checking Fox News Look into the mind of a killer that shot through Insert Schoolboy Q ad-lib, Moshpit, in this twisted brain Don't blink, when you switch the lanes, fit the game like a size 12 That means I don't really fit, but I mean regardless I just make it work like forced puzzle pieces Jesus, when they hear it, their ears will start bleeding Go against God and try to prove, then lose what you really needed Don't get defeated, just keep retreating from sin when it's creeping Or you'll end up receding, questioning the things you believed in Got to keep that faith strong, there's nothing to hate on Bitterness can have you cooking that beef with an apron You see I have no cape on, I'm no hero, I burn tracks like Nero They try to teach me evolution, my name isn't Spearow Ever so misunderstood, they could never understand I can't walk with Jesus, and hold Satan with my other hand Can't measure up to this standard, can't measure all of this grace They hate what I believe in, throw stones and then I FADE

[Verse 1] Holding on to these promises, but I promise you that I'm hurt inside I don't address these issues, so I guess it's no surprise Look into my eyes, you'll see, truth mixed with lies, you'll see These people are watching me, so it's really no privacy And they put me up so high that there's no way I'll land straight Staring into the sky, but attempting to paint the landscape So my mind is a little twisted, it'll take some years to fix it If there was an opportunity, well yes I surely missed it Fish for attention and come out with some compliments But I promise this, those very same compliments Will never be, strong as the providence Ubiquitous without Godemis, but they can really see we have God in us Or can they, we make promises we don't keep and then bandaid Or duct tape, that'll fix this, up quick, honestly I've never really felt love sick Sick of this, I need to take a seat and think, I've reached the brink Speak till my lungs collapse and throat is shredded Please no lozenges, I'm sick of all this nonsense But I'm standing on these promises [Hook: Becca Watson] Tired of fighting a fight that isn’t being won So many ways to look, maybe it’s easier, if I just fall I’m looking on you God, but I’m not sure that I can see it all These promises I’ll keep but I need your strength to help me To help me stand tall [Verse 2] This voice inside of me is speaking, and I can't tweak it I can't turn it down, delete it, it's surround sound and I need it I need it, it begs for more, I don't feed it, on my vocal chords And I'm pleading, with my own soul and I'm screaming Fighting, all these evil demons It's a tug of war for my soul, and I feel so broken, weary And I call to God, I'm at odds, but I know, that he hears me And I've been running, walking, jogging, all of these different trails A dragon with some missing scales, I really need to clip this tail If I rely on me and do what I wanna, I'll end up looking stupid Clueless, probably switching personas, they grab coronas Say that it'll be alright if you drink it away, ay No it goes away if I seek Him and pray I'm getting so frustrated listening to what they're saying Then I remember, that my God is past the craft of a Super Saiyan My name can stand for many things, just like a homonym But I will know Him better and that I promise them [Hook] [Outro] They thought it was over x3 My field is covered in clovers I don't need luck, cause I'm chosen, let's go These promises

[Verse 1] Put me on the chopping block, Bach to Bach, and compose And I told them I was so cold, not with my skill, but right in my soul I'm half past frozen, chosen to do good, but my heart is so wicked Flip it over and see the history, it's sorted and listed I must have missed it, they put me so high but I wasn't ready I'm not used to this, this is ludicrous, I'm dirty like Nelly This is heavy, I'm not conditioned for the purpose of this mission Slipping, dripping with blood and tears and nobody will listen Cause I, keep to myself, I don't fake it, I just hold it in Legitimately happy when I'm rappin' or with my folks and then At the same time, I'm just, not a people person If you know me that might sound strange But I'm strange and I know that's for certain Perfect I'm opposite, but definitely an optimist Not Optimus, I'm more like Megatron with a side of thoughtfulness We're different, at the same time, we're all the same I'm just a sinner, please don't put me in your Hall of Fame, yeah [Hook] Want to be the realest, ooo kill it, they all know I'm the coldest Number 1 spot is open, coming for the top, cause I'm chosen, egh It's all the same, that ball and chain They all want a place in the hall of fame x2 So high, first place, I do it in the worst way Have these other rappers, crying, begging me for mercy It's all the same, that ball and chain They all want a place in the hall of fame x2 [Hook] [Verse 2] Egh, then I'm right back to it, don't need credit, don't need recognition Blessed to listen, to the message I have been given, let's get it Turning up, but turn up for what? Turn up till your turn gets spurned abrupt Then what? Back up, did you learn enough? Enough of this stuff Get cuffed by McGruff, and now it's time to rewind and think Now it's no choice cause you reached the brink Now it's no loss, cause you lost it all But there's nothing to lose with this heavenly cause Aww, my, God is so gracious and kind, he healed the sick Went to the beggars, opened the eyes of the blind So it's my time to show who I represent, He who was Heaven sent Way more power than a president, angels all in his residence And I'm getting in the resonance, and I feel it Let us unite, be more coherent, hear it, come near it This is a gift, no don't fear it They say the good die young, crucified at a pretty early age Tried to stone him, disappeared, so no early grave We spit in his face, and add on to the whips, and the shame Jesus Christ, the one and only in the world's Hall of Fame, yeah [Hook] [Verse 3] Lost souls, not lost causes, cause and effect We pause for respect, but don't even know why we show our respects Soldiers fought for our country, now soldiers fight for the blood Not everybody, but a lot just want to live by the gun No automatic hero passes cause you wanted to start blasting Or it was your last resort, and of course, support from the dragons That burn the lands into a barren state, we're in a barren state Desensitized by the lies, disguised as defensive traits Wait, what have we become, what are we thinking And people just shut their ears if they hear that someone is preaching Begin to weaken, then we crumble and it's nothing more As normal people, how much of this stuff can we endure? We once were pure, and now we seem so selfish These people want the money, but then they'll end up helpless Well check this, this sin, that sin, it's all the same Let's glorify the King inducted in the Hall of Fame, he saves [Hook]

[Verse 1] Traded in all of these dreams for liquids that won't last So, focused on the past, no, time to better your craft Oh, needed some kind of escape, the only time you can feel safe From yourself, from these thoughts, flood back in and repeat it all Aw man, we used to dream big, now we dream for the money Used to, be ever so innocent, now our minds declined And hungry for something more, wicked and broken to the core We never let our brain explore, we never venture Cause pain is something we don't want to feel anymore Of course the easy way out looks fun and free Knockin' doors down, and showin' how to grind like Bun and C But bunting won't win you the game, ridiculous claims Like maybe if I sip a little then I won't have to think about all The drama and drown out the pain, get ready for change Aspirations had us happy, thinking that's how I'll do it I'm tired of losing people to the pleasure of sipping fluids Blew it out of proportion and now it's feeling hopeless Thought about some people when I wrote this, put down the potion [Hook] I used to dream, I used to dream But see things changed, man, I used to dream x2 [Verse 2] Grew up way too quick, quickly sprint to the end of this life Never extinguish this light, ever so bright on this night This fight isn't over, come on over red rover, I'm calling Marco Ralph Lauren might make you more of a poser Stop acting like these brands can make you look better Better make a choice, too concerned with how we look Don’t exercise our voice, voices in our head Telling us that we could never make it Find out we're holding ourselves back Too busy being complacence Pacing back and forth, lost our head in these clouds It's not the cause of puffing that loud, it's more like joining the crowd Crowded craniums cracking under pressure, pressing buttons Backwards, back tracking, track it back to where we lost all our stuffing And filled it back up with the things that help us get by on a daily Subconsciously thinking we're gods and no better than Ye It's crazy, but still we compare our sins to one another and reason I used to dream about living and now I dream about leaving [Hook] [Verse 3] I used to kick it with the clique but then it wasn't clicking Funny how things can change when you start to hear it and listen Dear Mr. Christian get off your high and mighty, well alrighty Guess it's time for me to be humble and just do it like Nike Never notion to unnecessary negative cravings Canvases covered in craters, imperfections get painted Along with beautiful blemishes, bundle up it gets colder Those things will prove to be hopeful, happy when it's all over Questions wrapped in confusion, we choose, to google the answers And get so many like Donder, Dunder, or Donner But Prancer is never left out, we feel this is this best route Can't look weak, so heads high, our hearts low, but our chest out Mos Def, black on both sides, inside and outside Of my world and this world, crimson cords, roll tide Rolled eyes get no attention, whispered words are never heard Day dreams, nightmares, bright lights and. Blur [Hook+Outro]

[Verse 1] Ducking and dodging the cops and robbing if he feels the need and Bruce Wayne, couldn't feel his pain, his deepest grievance Hit the streets, and, got the hit the other weekend A little bit of bleeding, he went ahead and walked it off A cross, nah, he's feels like he's too deep, way too hood And way too street, nothing like Meek, Mill, he doesn't vocalize it But you can see it in his eyes, so it no surprising, no horizons No dreams and hopes, they died a long time ago, like "Mane what I need that fo?" So, he walks the streets with a pep in his step With death on his neck, "Oh well, I'm ready to go" Ready to blow at any minute, grandma praying for him Hoping he won't reach the limit, got a call from the OG That a caddy's rolling slowly, too late he got hit by rounds He had his head in the clouds, BOW [Hook] He had his in the clouds x3 Don't lose your head in the clouds [Verse 2] His little brother was a good kid, heard about that death and Then he lost his lid, started hanging with the dope dealers to look cool Didn't deal, didn't steal, he just wanted to chill and stay real, for real Kicking at the park, past dark When the black hoodies, came and sprayed, at all parts He was hit three times, and one grazed his spine But he’s not even sure if he's happy to be alive And some preacher wants to talk about God, why didn't he save my brother? Now you, wanna try to save me? No thanks man, there’s plenty others But, in the back of his mind, he's really thinking about it Where is he headed for now, if he, won't change his course He might, lose his head in the, clouds, NOW [Hook] [Verse 3] Started thinking, talking to his grandma, grandpa saved All started with a dream, that dream got shot down By the gun of a misguided, violent teen, so, he dug into that scripture He got the picture, and turned his life around Try to, make it out, now, it's no need for that violent route Gathered up kids who needed help, they just needed something besides this Taught them how loving, caring, and gracious that his God is And in time they started listening and they gathered a crowd This all started, with one person who had his head in the clouds, look now [Hook]

Quiet Things 04:00
[Hook] Taking the time to rewind in my mind Reminded that I need to slow down some times Patiently waiting til' they say it's time Might keep my mouth shut, but can't quiet my mind x2 [Verse 1] Got me thinking about the early days, about 30 ways I can approach this, I hope this, collection of lyrics that I wrote Can evoke, I invoked the ghost, to drop a dose of the potion The right kind, I might climb, and might find Day dreams in the night time, clouds in my sky-line Pythons strike, I strike back Tell em that we're right here whenever they ask where the lights at Mike Jack, with the throwback fro, egh Bending these lyrics like Satchmo, No click clack flow Flow like the rapids, so rapid, taking a couple classes to see how I rap it More than me, when I record, want the power of a double edged sword And a higher spring, listen to the name that choir sings You better keep watch on the quiet things [Hook] [Verse 2] Come and kick it with the judo, you know, I don't quite fit like Pluto Who knows, where I'll go next, I might try my best and end up stuck And rough, like a nylon vest, well, they told me reach for the stars And I started to, make a catchy song like all of the artists do Forget it, I guess I split it, and then I quit it Talking about that life when I know that I don't live it Kill it and revive it, it's different now Wonder if people will start listen now Tried to visit and gone fishin' now I missed my chance, I missed the crowd My quiet mind isn't so quiet Brain cells swell and begin to riot Video games and a moment of silence Pause for the ones that lost it, E N D [Hook] [Verse 3] One life, no redos, no cheat codes, hope you get a good sequel Don't trip on the budget, as long as you give it your all See Immanuel was the prequel, plead the fifth when it's time to speak You better mind your mind, cause that there is a killer, lies all around me Surround me, found me, the truth is raw like salmonella Alrighty, almighty, clean up, get all nice and tidy Put on a mask put on a show put on an act and your ready to go Ready to do it, and ready to prove it, fake it until you can pilot And now you fly yourself, but your mind still won't be quiet So you fade, so you fade, so you fade, so I fade Still I fade, then we fade, still we fade Please don’t fade, please don’t...

Never Die 06:13
[Intro] Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy [Verse 1] The Mercy Seat, oh me, what a sight, magnificent No malevolence when Saul saw that light, white, garments Filling my closet, all these skeletons dissipate, they conversate Ask me to assimilate, and throw secular messages in my face Wait, look in the heavens, and see Spectacularly, crafted a masterpiece With halos like Master Chief I'm still in the game, I'm Master P All gold, but I'll be walking on it in Heaven Play the background like Numbuh 7 That's K N D, A N D He saved the world, Double A N G I'm the last of my kind, cause my kind is me, fighting a war with Oni One and only, only me and the rock that I'm founded on Hold on Jabroni, get to know me, not much to see, just a broken vessel With an open plea, I'm supposed to be, not living for me But living for He, well now can you see? Humble Beast, not one of the four, just here to spread this Vital Lens Got to exercise that word, can't strengthen your faith with milk and some vitamins Musique in my DNA, nonstop like TNA, Rex, Panthera Leo never hibernates Wimoweh, ay [Hook] I’ll never die Nothing but the truth when I testify I’ll never die To be honest, not that hard for me to tell a lie I’ll never die But I promise you what I’m speaking is verified I’ll never die Death is dead I’ll never die [Verse 2] Never say I'll never fail, loose laces and missing screws Heartburn when I swallow sin, and it makes me cold like Mr Scrooge Forget the past, I'm in the present, still, the best is yet to come Lost my mind in these clouds, but see, my dream has not yet begun Blessed One in my mind-frame, think too hard & get a migraine His time not my time, it's time to calibrate my time frame Wait, melted clocks in my space, stay away from the vicinity Distorted thoughts in my brain waves, and they may cave on these memories Assembly of my clan, with blood that's thicker than quicksand Switch plans and maneuver, force strong enough for the Return of Cooler Grab a ruler, can't measure up, He's the King of the Hill, I'll tell ya what Misunderstood like Jeffrey Wheels, I was chin deep and couldn't pay the bills Narrow gate in my destination, many rooms in that place of peace Marriage, Supper of the Lamb, that'll be a crazy feast Made to feast and produce this, you need a plan, here's the blueprint Never could we fully grasp, they make up theories like evolution, ha [Hook] [Verse 3] Already dead, already died, already bought those lies they sold me Got a refund in the form of grace, probably look in disgust if I saw my former place Form of little ole sinner, you already know what form he took, we look In the face of death and know that our name is jotted down in the book Ugh, sickened to the core of all my selfish ambitions I know my life would be better, if I just sat down and listened On a mission, to improve me and I hope that they follow Peep this message in the bottle martyr's hallowed, not hollow Hollow tips couldn't tear us apart, although we might scatter Scatter brains but we focus when there's a notion of matter Matter of fact, not even spaced out, I think I concentrate Concentrated my thoughts and now I'm ready to dominate I'm obligated to spread this message but it's my pleasure And our hearts can be defined by what we value and treasure Becoming lesser, so that I can glorify the most high Always positive and you should know why, I'll never die, ah [Hook] [Speech: Edward M. Kennedy] And someday, long after this convention Long after the signs come down and the crowds stop cheering And the bands stop playing May it be said of our campaign that we kept the faith May it be said of our Party, that we found our faith again And may it be said of us, both in dark passages and in bright days In the words of Tennyson that my brothers quoted and loved And that have special meaning for me now: "I am a part of all that I have met Too (though) much is taken, much abides That which we are, we are -- One equal temper of heroic hearts Strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." For me, a few hours ago, this campaign came to an end For all those whose cares have been our concern The work goes on, the cause endures The hope still lives, and the dream shall never die [TV Show Sample: Game of Thrones] What is dead may never die!
