Yeah, I'm glad I made it out another day It's the season, dip into the feeling Yeah, I think I made it out okay Yeah, I'm steezin', I don't need a reason Now I been at ease Need another forest Earth, just a tourist Then it all emerge and I fall into the sea Blue that I see, and I'm really all bored When I keep it all stored, access just for me Just for me, who that in the back? Bucket hat, North Face on my back, ya Never me, all that in the back And I show it all off on the track, ya Back then my backpack filled up with the snacks Now I got stacks stinking up with the pack Smoked up and dreams, yeah I never had those Bring in, I'm living way better than most, yo

Cold the ready said for Mold to what it came for Born to red and cape for Soul arrest and take more Sold, meant to rake more Minute 'til I'm gray fog Minute 'til my brain stop Praying 'til the rain's gone Mind unrest, I'm smoking for it Gone to bed, alarm it's sorted K-pin now I'm slurring Ay man, what's the worry? Bagels in the morning Since I was a kid Can't be really sorry I'm the one with sins Fade until it's dim Laying 'til I'm with it I'ma hope it never lives Pay up, not mistaken Can't believe I ever lived

Drenched in the sun, afraid of everyone I don't need fun, only seek the funds Better where I stand, fixed to the land I don't gotta plan, better in a month Tell me what you wanna know, rolling up I'm all alone I ain't picking up my phone, why they always on and on Carrying the weight too long PK in the blunt, too strong Said it's too loud, carry on Never too proud, what I'm on 'Nother one to take me out my place Too late, I'm in outer space Something telling me that it's laced Keep quiet, 'cause I'm all in my face Too much, too much, gotta face Cool enough, new stuff out of place Fooled once, now I'm watching for the signs On time, but I'm out here out my mind Drenched in the sun, afraid of everyone I don't need fun, only seek the funds Better where I stand, fixed to the land I don't gotta plan, better in a month Drenched in the sun, afraid of everyone I don't need fun, only seek the funds Better where I stand, fixed to the land I don't gotta plan, better in a month

Case and point, I face a joint Mace in hand, dazed in soil Fully free, it's been a while Duly need, truly vital New arrival Ain't swimming in Venice, I'm in a survival Still feel that I'm ready to pass up my idols Roll it and never pass it, alone 'til tomorrow Don't bring up the sorrow I never forget it Been saying it for a year and no one hearing it I'm fearing they let it pass, her name they clearing it I feel like I'll never act the same, I'm veering off I wonder today if anyone will see me off Close my eyes, man, I'm signing off Fold the line, damn, really riding on Holding mine, damned I don't get it all

Woo! Ay, we in this bitch! Switch it up, don't switch! Fuck is up with this? Ha ha! Ay, yo, yo No way, doing it another time Waiting for another line Stay here for another night Please, need another light Inside made, hard right Now it's alright Never wishing for another kind Now it's my time Bring it today, then I wish it away Never fix it no way, in it all day Win anyway, then I give it away I don't need it to say, with it four way Is there a day that I make it away Never feel it, no way, seen it all day Wish it away, then I fix it today Never give it, no way Is it all I got? Fell hard, hit the rock Up myself, but now I rock Give it up 'cause I'm on top Still is up, 'cause I don't crop Bigger picture, see, see the top Insufficient 'til tomorrow Push away all the sorrow Let's get up, say "fuck it now!" Bring it 'til I hit the ground When I fuck it up somehow She said she gon' keep it down Wide awake, not sleeping now Move it 'til I hit the ground I don't know, what's something now? I won't bring it up somehow How Stay here for another night Please, need another light Yo, yo Never wishing for another kind Now it's my time Ay, yo Yo, frijo!

This is the place This is a place This is the place This is the place Can I feel it pass to me? Never ending fantasy Building up a legacy Remember who to be now Do it all, it's up to me Heard it two time, maybe three Coming up, I steady flee Never know who really down It's a waterfall I feel it all, down, now The best to talk Before it all, now, now Rain force, it's who I'm with Bet all, know where I been Ain't all up in my head All for the betterment Listen to what I said Glisten until I'm dead Listen to what I said Glisten until I'm dead Came to talk about and bum about around my room Give it to 'em now, I'm all about looking up to the moon All the power in it, brought the flower with it into my room Rolling up, I'm going up, flying right past the moon Growing up, I'm going up, everybody I'll see you soon All the ones who never run, I know they gonna see me soon This is the place This is a place This is the place This is the place Rain force, it's who I'm with Bet all, know where I been Ain't all up in my head All for the betterment Listen to what I said Glisten until I'm dead Listen to what I said Glisten until I'm dead

I'm tired, I'm lazy, I'm broke Everything is fucked if you didn't know I said "I hate everyone!" That includes me Leet like L 3 3 T Sleeping too much, too dependent on the tree Out of my mind, that's what she tells me Living life like a permanent vacation I'm paranoid living in a simulation Y'all stay masturbating, eating bacon We all got iPhones but we're never gonna make it Barely speak, I don't even try and fake it All alone, rarely ever leave my home I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care Stressed out, think I'm losing all my hair Still cute like a pug in a sweater, though Haters on me, I don't see 'em doing better, though I don't wanna be clever, I wanna be real I don't wanna be real, I wanna get paid I don't wanna get paid, I wanna go die I don't wanna go die, I wanna take a nap

I'm in a rut, better today, but never get stuck Bringing it up, come again, I'm running amok Rolling a blunt, crack the Back, I'm fucking it up Taking a puff, light it up Sounding soft, hit the unknown Now it's on, bitch I'm a rolling stone No direction home AJ, used to be Bobby D Went electric, now they call me K.O.Z.A It's on today, it's gone away No more to say, never give it out It's on the way, the fucking pay The green today, gonna get it now I smoke away the day to say I said the words that I'm writing down They thought today to fuck with me Then back away, gonna bring em down

Layer my shit, don't fuck with the click Going to the store, I ain't paying for shit Back and fourth, back and fourth, lake lab with the keys Now we in the city though, ooo ooo wee! Up in the sky, I reside in my mind The eye that's inside stays clear and divine Spend time sitting by, I get by I never whine, 'cause I know my place in time Underestimated From the present, now matters, all the peasants got me irate Under picking, thinking how they live their lives, why? You buzz around but don't contribute to the hive Expect to get the honey, no respect, you get the money A reject, I think it's funny, thoughts wrapped up like a mummy Lost in a tomb, no purpose, is it even worth it? What's the point of having a gift if you don't deserve it? You prove it every day, but away with the tattered ways Get out the cold bay Still paying back the man, but fuck it, money make me stressed Said the day you dive head first, the day I'll be impressed Play though, rock today though I don't wanna play though, no way though I don't wanna play though, no way though I don't wanna play though, no way though What are you about? We in the spot, oh yeah, we in the spot Ooo wee!
