lyrics

Still on my spitta shit, I keep it low key though.
Ain't dropped a tape since 2012. It's hard to cope.
They probably thought I gave it up. I'm just trying to hone
my skills until I'm ready to blow.
Forever alone. For a minute I been trouble prone.
Never felt the need to play along. I'd rather break the mold.
Are all these waking dreams just a side effect of too much smoke?
Am I too exposed?
Fungus got my brain leaking out of my nose.
Spaced out, seeing spirits and UFOs.
I'm sorry Mamma. I already know
I've been moving too fast but that other mode's too goddamn slow.
I'm needing stimulation, sick of limitations.
Fuck a stipulation, did I get abrasive?
Damn right. Better step it up. Don't give me the basics.
Can't write these days.
Gotta to find a way to get a bit of my creative juices out of containment.
It's all conducive to the way I keep a heightened elation,
I think, but I'm far from certain.
Trying to push it to the brink before they close the curtain.
It occurs to me that uncertainty is a reoccurring theme
In my version of the world so perfect
Learning curves on an immersion search
alert nerves to the current of the Universe
No matter what, the world turns through the change in terms
So cloudy days shouldn't phase you. Gotta let the rain do its work.
No matter what, the world turns through the change in terms
So cloudy days shouldn't phase you. Gotta let the rain do its work.

January rain, rain go away.
Never come back again. I don't need another cloudy day
and I don't even know what's happening.
It's like I'm running from the past again but never really get away.
It only feels like that at first but naturally
if you try to contain a beast it will bite back
so I chose to be an animal. I'm leaking from the mandible
like a wolf and you could never kill my pack.
We're a rusty bunch of savages up under the ground,
bustin' from a lung and tongue and jumpin' around.
Breaking bad up in a beaker. About to bubble, gotta trust.
Been a problem with a pen and pad and hunger is a must.
You could never fill my belly. The satisfaction is impossible
and even if you steal my penny,
I'm gonna steal a dollar back. I need a meal, another snack.
I got an appetite, for real. I'm ready.

Mind-states, dreamscapes, lost in translation.
Trying to induce transitions amidst these hallucinations.
I got a fortune the other day that said you need to be patient,
so I'm sitting in the rain. Let it wash away whatever it may
My thoughts? Calculations
of an outdated brain craving stimulation.
Using my language to paint with, I can't vocalize
all the signs that I find inside of life's arrangements.
The whole mosaic is just so amazing isn't it? Yes!
but we don't notice the blessings
Due to the stress and the mess in the thick of the debts
We lose focus on depth and get depressed. Positive thinking
is the most powerful thing we allow ourselves to forget
Damn. That aint the way it should be
But that is how it would seem when every single day
you're peeping the same scene trying to see a different thing, now

I'm tryna get up out the center of the storm.
A wise man once informed me the clouds are at war
and I'm torn between them and I'm bored with freedom.
I need something to try to hold me down.
Implored by a poor demeanor. I'm from a portal of people
that always found another reason to frown.
This town doesn’t help. It’s so dark and gloomy.
I’m never gonna let the negativity consume me.
I wanna win the battle and defeat the alter ego,
proving the past is simply personality placebo.
It doesn't define you so shove it behind you.
Don’t ever let it hover up above or beside you.
Everyday is a cloudy day for me
but when the sun comes you will be free
and the rain won’t fall because the brain won’t tolerate
the pain so it vacates the hate.
If you permanently feel like a worm in dirt
that can’t seem to find a way to burst out the earth,
you need to find out what’s holding back your perception
of the serpent inside you and burn the curse.
Everybody’s been hurt. I know the pain’s the the worst,
but you have worth as a person with purpose first.
No matter what, the world turns through the change in terms
so cloudy days shouldn’t phase you. Gotta let the rain do its work
