[Intro]
Wouldn't be here without The One
I want to look back
Like look at what I've become
[Verse 1]
I'm tired of acting like
I have my act together
Whether it be for the better
Or the worst of my endeavors
Through whatever
I just want to play my role properly
Monopoly the way they go for property
And honestly to me it is noble
Too many people think us evil
On a scale that is global
Because we dare to be hopeful
But I don't think it's a fault
Don't always do what I ought
Still continue to walk
Cause moving forward is the only way
Never alone on my lonely days
Came from video games
And the Mick Foley fades
Aim to switch from the same
Handle a different strain
Change the way that we view pain
And turn it to butane
Blue flame
Let's light up the room with it
No way of consuming it
Burn 'til it's through with it
Earnest and true
Iffin my light goes out
Don't assume that I blew it
See we are products of an environment
Writhing in agony, vying for salaries
Thriving on batteries
Stacking calories casually
Calibrated with fallacies
Aggravated by apathy
So sedated by the things that we try
I don't want to be desensitized to the lies
Gotta improvise
Gotta empathize with the wise
Cause they know from experience
Still we get curious, so we do it
And they watch us go through it
Good God
[Refrain]
Blue flame
Let's light up the room with it
No way of consuming it
Burn 'til it's through with it
Earnest and true
Iffin my lights go out
Don't assume that I blew it
[Verse 2]
What is a perfect film
Without a proper finale?
Feeling like I give advice
It's thrown right back at me
But that's just how it goes
Do not fold and get cold
Gather tips and reload
Hope it hits in the soul
Gotta slip from your foes
If it gets outta hand
Nothing wrong with retreating
To come up with a plan
I'm a victim of depression
But I don't let it win
I stand, it gives me the hands
And I get up again, ayy
I can not forget the people that I have lost
I came way too far to give up on the cross
Even when I'm taking a loss
I've gotta take it in stride
Not cause of pride
But because I'm representing my God
Yeah

[Verse 1]
When there's trouble you know who to call
Log off, then I pause
Nod off and get lost
Ball hog then I cross
Akashi would be so proud
I scream but it isn't loud enough
To permeate through crowds
And I was found
When I had no clue
I was lost to begin with
My speech is faulty but pensive
I pen my thoughts in repentance
Constantly walking
I'm inches away from making or breaking
Whole body aching, hands shaking
Much worse to rush, than be patient
But I'm pacing
I need growth in astronomical ways
But I come back with nominal gains
What I don't lack
I'll crop to this frame
And then hang it out where they see it
So then they have to believe it
Like Uzumaki, mixed with Baki
Finding strength in defeat
It's a process
Gotta change your mindset
And analyze what you digest
Diving in the deep unknown
Delight in might you seek to own
It seems the throne is something
They all want to inherit
But the dangers are inherent
And they're aiming for the merits
Be careful how you tread
This world will feast
On those with feeble minds
It isn't hard to see that we have
Reached some evil times
With few who truly seek divine
But there are those who reach beyond
Beseech me for the fact I lack and
Not because my speech is fine
I know I'm frail
But I still hope to prevail
Propel my dreams and repel
Anything they screech in my shell
A hermit learning and turning
To something much more determined
Uncertain but unconcerned with vermin
That bring me more burdens to bear
Crawl
Centipede
Faulty authenticity
Awfully finicky
Off the wall
They all claim Voss or faucets
But really dryer than chalk
Still I'm not one to hate on the hustle
Pulling my weight without
Straining a muscle
One day I'll make it pop
Like my uncle's brother
From another Creed
And color me interested
Been invested in what they
Do not acknowledge
Spent a couple years in college
Still feel that I'm lacking polish
Never been pompous
My self confidence will not allow it
Even when the scouter shatters
Reading several hundred thousand
Given time I will reach my prime
And then surpass it
Building up this lactic acid
Filled with thrill they can not package
I don't show it but I know it
You don't always have to be transparent
Like our parents when they falter
So that we can prosper
[Bridge]
Not looking for love, I got it
Didn't get it from the mud
But no doubt that I'm 'bout it
Not bout it bout like Percy
About me shouting His mercy
Knowing I'm wholly unworthy
I still continue my journey, yeah
[Chorus]
What's in front of me is a humble plea
I do not ask for much
Hard to breathe when the heart is weak but
Opportunity, how could we pass it up?
What's in front of me is a humble plea
I do not ask for much
Hard to breathe when the heart is weak but
Opportunity, how could we pass it up?
Laugh with us, don't laugh at us
Laugh with us, don't laugh at us
Laugh with us, don't laugh at us
Don't laugh at us, just laugh with us
[Verse 2]
I want my people to be what they should be
Not looking back to the past
And what could be
Okay to laugh whether first or the last
If you do it with class
Not attempting to lash out
Might pass out
They way that I'm movin'
Just joshin'
I walk with the pace of a sloth
Taking caution
Mentally moshin'
A mess in my noggin
I don't have a squadron
But blessed to be troggin'
Even a rookie can rise up the ranks
With a vibe that is faint to the highest
And drive to the paint, an impossible flank
So cold and composed Mursaki would faint
Get out of my way
Little r, double o, k
I.e., I bring change
Guy when mixed with flames
I want to cause sparks
In the hearts of the hardened
Hope they don't get lost
In my Japanese jargon
Throw jabs while I'm jogging
This road is so rocky
My training's exhausting
Feel lost in my body
Smooth as Itachi
Do my lil move like I'm Bobby
I'm kicking back watching DanMachi

[Verse 1]
I got time
Let's get wicked
Like Stephan when I switch it
Open your mind and make a difference
I'm with Divine, don't plan on ditching
Signs of times look a little bit different
Than what they pictured
Here's a toast to those who froze
When it got blistering
Roll quicker than four Michelins
My souls simmering
Cold shivers from those sentiments
That chose Icarus
So sick of this
Breathe, please be at ease
Far as East is from West
Do not stress, let's repeat
Feel like Pete when I shoot
I might need to reboot
What they teach won't compute
They just speak it in loops
Wanna link? Cool
What it do? Still got time
If I choose to refuse
Please don't take it as a sign
I'm selfish with the minutes I'm handed
Spend my seconds by my lonely
I don't seek a companion
Now what is hours is ours
And if it must, then it shall
On any given day
Might choose to take a month to corral
Year
Son of my father
But know that I am my own man
Vice grip on my feelings
Slowly slipping from both hands
Across America
Losses buried under the scandals
Families in shambles
This dream is more than we can handle
[Chorus]
Tell it but don't tell it all
Yeah, that's half and half
Humble but still showing off
Yeah, that's half and half
Never make your destination
Walking half the path
Reaching for things
We thought we had to have
Sheesh
Tell it but don't tell it all
Yeah, that's half and half
Humble but still showing off
Yeah, that's half and half
Never make your destination
Walking half the path
Reaching for things
We thought we had to have
Sheesh
[Verse 2]
Meek and Lowly mixed with 7th shinobi
That is a duo you do not dare try
In the midst of the game I'm a goalie
Claiming it solely
Why would I lie?
Some do but for me that is not the way
Might enter the room like, "Wa Dah Tah"
When I leave might scream out "Sah Dah Tay"
But shout out Tae
I don't ever want to leech off my guys
They say reach for the sky
Get that piece of the pie
Not a beast but I fly
When my wings cooperate
I don't need apologies
I just need your honesty
Ayy
Not the greatest in any
Way, shape, or form
But I don't believe you need
To be the best to shake the norm
Making storms in the midst
Of many natural disasters
Catch a Splinter from The Stick
If you dare to compare to Master, chill
The masses fill voids
With some lavish thrills
Boy that'll add up
Joy isn't a patch up
It's something that's so deep
Inside your core
That they could never take it
Even with a faith that's basic
Try to find a way to make it
I'm a purveyor of a peace
That's passed on many pages
A surveyor of the weak
That gnash when slipped in cages
Pass the craft to those who need
When they have no one to believe
You see me bursting at the seams
So know to me you shouldn't cling
I'm no supernatural being
I'm still a kid to many
We need change but that doesn't
Amount to pretty pennies
Eenie meenie
What should I choose from life's menu?
Not worried about venues
The marathon continues
[Chorus]
Tell it but don't tell it all
Yeah, that's half and half
Humble but still showing off
Yeah, that's half and half
Never make your destination
Walking half the path
Reaching for things
We thought we had to have
Tell it but don't tell it all
Yeah, that's half and half
Humble but still showing off
Yeah, that's half and half
Never make your destination
Walking half the path
Reaching for things
We thought we...
[Outro]
Last time that I checked
They'll do anything for a rep
Gotta pave a lane or get left
Last time that I checked
Nip taught the youngins to invest
Double up, and that's love and respect
Last time that I checked

Sunlit Garden

[Intro]
Welcome
Make yourself at home
For however long...
... for however long
[Verse 1]
Step into the garden
Coming with the negative remarks
I beg your pardon?
I'm no legend of an artist
In the darkness I'm a target
Might see me throwing elbows
Like I'm Jones when I'm sparring
Trading blows, toe to toe with the enemy
I don't need anybody to remember me
I just want to make up for
What I have done and who I've become
I'm no longer numb
Back to the board and the basics
Feel like I'm Morpheus
Forced in the Matrix
Break out of my cage
This freedom is contagious
Been aching for ages
Although I'm not ancient
Vacant for a little bit
But I'm up now
What now?
Thanks to the people that stuck round
I'm dumbfounded
Might intercept for the touchdown
Don't need to speak profound
Lee with the lowbrow comments
I'm a comet not a star
I need the Son to recharge
They call me Huey
My views are not nearly as dark
Slick with the sleight of hand like Stark
But I will amount to nothing
If I do not do something
Simple enough to state
But hard to put it into function
Came back with the gumption
To smack on assumptions
No average Joe
I go up when it's pumping
[Chorus]
Self love is a challenge
Need work on my balance
Please
I am not who you believe
Certain that I don't deserve a reprieve
But know at the least
I will not leave without leaving routes
For you to grow as you go
Take it...
... slow
[Verse 2]
Don't put me on pedestals
Flaws, I have several
Awfully lacking in terms of capacity
Gradually grasping these faculties
Tragedy can not confine me
I'm glad to be back to His Majesty
Racking this baggage
And slashing these habits
Came back with a passion to crash it
I'm Ash with the hat to back
So the fact of the matter is
Adequate levels of havoc must happen
What is a wolf to a dragon?
What is a Smaug to a Baggins?
You never know who just might
Make a kite out of sight and then fly
When they thought they were lacking
So they can keep laughing
You just continue to take it to heights
That the likes of the livid
Couldn't even fathom
And leap over chasms
Get it down to a science
As deep as an atom
I'm a supporter of peace of mind
Choose to record and release in time
I can not vibe with a busy body
Don't hang around with just anybody
I'm protective of my energy
Simply will not ever let em get to me
Kickin' these flows to those
Exposed to hatred, wait
You don't have to take it, wait
Coming with a different kind of vibe these days
Hardly ever get surprised these days
I collide with the cadence
Through waters we waded
Imparted with greatness
I ought to jump off of the gradient
Swift with the blade
But I keep it contained
I don't want to be another
Giving snippets of pain
I've been changed for a minute
Had to work on a plan
Perfect my stance
Collect the suppressed and stand
Man
