I like to receive it But I don’t wanna give it up I’ll set the roof on fire Before I cuff my sleeves up Maybe tell em that I tripped off a cliff or Say I gotta couple kids at the crib Whatever it is I wish I wish I Wish If I could just hold It Maybe even control it What would you do if it had no hold over you I hate being in this money pit Truthfully I don’t a (not one not at all) And The deeper I sink The more I see that crime pays Crime pays So Will I just perish broke Along with everyone else I want to leave a legacy of my own Continue my family’s wealth Never thought that I’d so be afraid of not knowing When that check’s gone come I thought I’d won So don’t you Kurt Cobain me Absolutely no desire to be famous Whatever you choose I wish I just could I wish I wish I wish I pray that I could just hold it Maybe even control it What would you do if it had no hold over you? I hate being in this money pit Truthfully I don’t give a not one (not at all) And The deeper I sink The more I see that crime pays Crime pays

Gaslight me while the world is on fire It ain’t touched me but the smoke takin” me higher I don’t know what should I believe I been seeing things hearing things I really want the real some way Uh-huh I really want the real some way Show me lies Don’t care the price Ride or die I’mma ride or die Get that check huh maybe even twice Now I’mma real one Just name the price yeah But I’m alone feels like I might cry Who hears my cries Is anyone outside No one by my side Who is to blame All I really wanted was a little but of fame Work work work work work work It has to I has to work Ahh work (Oooo) It has to work It has to work Everybody wishes that they could be famous Spendin’ all night on Tik Tok tryna get that angle While the time is goes tik-tok It’ll never ever slow its roll If you think It’ll wait you You are dead wrong Gaslight me while the world is on fire It ain’t touched me but the smoke takin me higher I don’t know what should I believe I been seeing things hearing things You say Even if I crash and burn The world would know my name Even if it cost my soul I’ll have a bit of acclaim Work work work work work work It has to I has to work Ahh work (Oooo) It has to work It has to work For the rest of my life

Another one dead We cry and scream (cry) Pray for relief (pray) Receive no light Another one dead We ask we wait For something to change But there is no way For them to stop hatin’ me Seems like no way For them to stop praying on my downfall Waitin’ on them rounds to go Off aomeone shot In my hood it’s a blood ball Police we can’t even call They pull up and spray us all Shoot first ask questions later What’s the point of it all What’s the point of it all What do you gain from being so inhumane? Tell me whats in it for ya You could be next What if I’m What if I’m Next I could be next Victimized by it all Psycological stress All this depression And anxiety Seems to be Getting The best of me Seeing my brothers Shot dead in the streets For what

Too Much 03:19
I’m a mess I’m a monster Let you tell it I can harm you Let you tell it My soul left long ago Let you tell it My whole chest is a hole Fell in love with an crooked angel Crooked angles I can’t see where you coming from Promise I’m where all of the blame goes you created this world Sevens 8 in this world truth is very heavy and it holds no weight in this world You said this is what you made me Im am never changing And you keep on explaining to me How you swear on your soul the beast you’ve become Is all my fault This is what you made me you said Im am never changing And you keep on explaining to me How you swear on your soul the beast you’ve become Is all my fault Speak Up Speak up You said You said Speak up Speak Up You said (if this is too much too much) You gotta speak up speak up You said I been cryin’ Making problems Let you tell it Its just drama Let you tell it I been asking too much from you lately Let you tell it I don’t know what I got and I’m crazy Am I loving you to much Does it feel like a drug Do you keep getting high pulling up on my love Well I’m done I’m so fed up (so done) And your inertia’s pulling me away from my sun You said this is what you made me Im am never changing And you keep on explaining to me How you swear on your soul the beast you’ve become Is all my fault This is what you made me you said Im am never changing And you keep on explaining to me How you swear on your soul the beast you’ve become Is all my fault

Lets be straightforward Keep it exactly a 100% real You know I adore you But I’m not sure that we’ve got the same idea Immerse With me Let us Be free and just breathe Breathe into who we should be But baby are we goin too fast ? Maybe we can make this last What are we doin Can we get through this Oh yeah You said you wanna ride Till the wheels fall out And spark down the street No matter how it hard gets that sweet feeling Never seems to run out to me I’ll be here till the end of the world Until the sky unfurls before us Curse of the taurus Immerse With me Let us Be free And just breathe Breathe into who we should be I am yours for all seasons You are part of my reason to live Part of my reason to live Fire summer Water fall I am yours No matter how far you fall No matter how far you fall Fire summer Water fall I am yours No matter how far you fall No matter how far you fall

It Feels like you don’t need me anymore It feels like you only need me when you’re torn Don’t wanna be near wish I could feel you Yes ill forgive you But I am still healing too Your love is all I’ve ever known You stayed strong Way too strong Wish that I could go back To when the illusion was better than real life in my mind Waited to meet you halfway but you swam away Thought we’d find the way Sometimes its hard to stand you yet I can understand you I was like a bandage for you I would fix the damage for you Watched em take advantage of you Handled it I’ll hand it to you You did all you felt you could do All you felt you could do Maybe we just need a break Maybe its all give and take On a need to know basis But I can’t fake that I love you the most Cherish you hold you close I cannot fake that I love you the most It Feels like you don’t need me anymore It feels like you only need me when you’re torn Know I overreact And you just want the best For me and yes I’ll forgive you But I am still healing too Healing too

Mountains 02:55
Do you remember when we were young All we wanted was some fun Lost in what we thought it was I had this feeling that you were the one for me my family Even when everything was hard you picked up my calls But then it all stopped And you broke my heart Everything got twisted Even though I miss that Its nothing we can get back I know that your hurting But I didn’t deserve this Your still worth it I made you a promise I know that you’ll push through Ill be here if you need me to Mountains.. for you I would move a mountain for you x3 Everything got twisted Even though I miss that Its nothing we can get back I know that my purpose is to love through The bs But right now I don’t deserve This (I don’t deserve it no) No I’ll be there if you need me to Holding on I keep holding on (if you need me to, to) Holding on I keep holding on Did you think I would just let you Back in After All the things that you did I don’t think so Oh I don’t think so After all of the nights I cried Without you by my side Then you slithered right on back in I haven’t even had the time to heal (No chance no chance no chance) I haven’t even had The time To Heal Before you’re back again

Its is simple Don’t make it so complicated Just keep your rhythm Execute with precision And you’ll be alright said you’ll be alright It will make so more sense with time You’ll forget about it As soon the light shines on your eyes You might have to try try try again But at least you know more than you did back then I think you should take your time Really make up your mind Cause it’ll work out for your good Really you should Pace yourself Don’t be afraid to ask help There is no shame cause one day you will lead the way Really you should Pace yourself Don’t be afraid to ask help There is no shame cause one day you will lead the way Its really simple Don’t make it so complicated Just keep ya rhythm And know that you You gone kill ‘em kill ‘em Baby you’re a winner winner And I know it gets frustrating But you know you know you know You know you know you know You’ll forget about it As soon the light shines on your eyes You might have to cry and cry again But at least you know more than you did back then I think you should take your time Really Make up your mind Cause it’ll work out for your good Really you should Pace yourself Don’t be afraid to ask help There is no shame cause one day you will lead the way Really you should Pace yourself Don’t be afraid to ask help There is no shame cause one day you will lead the way You’ll lead the way I can’t be anything without God I don’t want somebody to think I’m playin a role of something no I want to be real And even with what I’m going through Has caused me to have a deeper love for God Cause it’s him that’s taking me through this It’s not easy

about

If you could put your soul on a soundtrack, what it sound like?
If you could paint your music that travels along your brainwaves across a spectrum of time like a dance with no finale...
What would it feel like?
Have you asked the question, why do I exist here in this plane?
Are these experiences even worth documenting..
Or are we just passing by?
