"you realize when you come in to see a musician...musicians never talk to you, you know...i decided i'd just talk to you, you know. i just wanna tell you...some of the music is - is really not geared for your bumping enjoyment...it's geared for you to think...so for those of you who don't think too much...i'm just telling you 'bout that shit before we drop it on you"

living in my head all day
living in my head all day
all day all day
now i've been patting my proverbial pockets like I ain't got it
lying to yourself is still lying - liar liar
I'm standing still cause I'm scared of falling afraid of flying
like -
if anybody's trying to find me, I'll be
posted up on complacent pl.
while my real life's on layaway
black Dilbert from day to day
knowing good & well that it ain't the way
suit & tied up like J & Jay
fixed schedule w/ a fixed wage
no wonder why he stays w/ a fixed face
feeling like he's running in a fixed race
tried to put it on silent, ignore my calling - but it just kept calling
wouldn't stay quiet
alerts kept piling
wait, why you ain't smiling?
it's your turn at wheel of the fortunate
ain't spinning, nor grinning
ain't playing that game
now your life's at a road w/ a fork in it
f'na get fed or mislead, orca sh--
talking black & white
you could lack or lust
you could drive the car or you could ride the bus
but it ain't gon' work if you don't pull up
unchaining day, free your freedom up
so follow your gut
breathe easy, yoga
you w/ it or what?
you better
c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

conflicted like rain on a Sunday
life could be a one-way
wrong turn, DTLA
self destructive as a salty snail bitter 'bout living cause it can't bring itself to shake its shell
well well well
lada didi dadida ey ey ey ey
lada didi dadi ey ey ey
lada didi dadida lada didi dadida
ey ey ey ey

(chorus)
you know it's always sunny here in Calidelphia
always sunny here in Calidelphia
well, how you been?
where you been?
what's it looking like?
man, I couldn't complain
life isn't mundane
forever changing
coming in waves
going in waves
one of the ways I cope
when out of hope, is just to know
that nothing lasts but ever lasting never lasting
right now is all we've had
tick tock better move with tact
on your toes, to be exact
no more drawing up a dream on an etch a sketch...
shaking it cause I made a left
when I realized could've made a right
I was in the dark til I found my light;Doug intro
what is your life like?
what the forecast say?
erryday erryday erryday
hey hey h-hey h-hey

what would you do if it all came to tumbling down your first round?
stomach ain't grumbling now
ain't cause you ate, you lost your appetite
a fear of flight
yo, that ego is a liar, dude
got you afraid of the very thing you're built to do
how're you afraid of the very thing you're built to do?
are you afraid of the very thing you're built to do?
we're hard-wired for hard times
in need of updates, not ripping out insides
you got what you need to get what you need
you are what you need
you get what I mean?
agreed
sometimes my mind be in a frenzy in an ornery state, but I'll never jot lines that you couldn't relate
along the way I got lost
tryna find me
or am I just a jewel standing still feeling stymied?
dark sky scenery flying by me
clouds overhead ignoring the silver lining
teetered on edge of
pawning in
homonym
now I know the ledge
I had within, honing in
in a zone, was gone - back in the flow again
book of life - leaf printed, turning in wind - & something bout it's all stranger than fiction
how you could dictate your day w/ your diction
or the vibes w/ your mind
w/ your thinkin
gave advice in the past on affliction
on illcan, if you asked
hope you're listening
are you living in the past
or the present?
now is all you got
I'll ask, won't advise
while you're trudging on your path
you let it go
like the dropping of a dime
all them bindles that you're binging on the side side side side
set em down
set em down on the wayside
set em down on the wayside
aight?
mmhm

Love Is.

somebody tell me why
that it is when I'm with the one I dig I always drop the ball
got me singing like the same ol' song
on that old David Ruffin; ain't too proud to beg, it's nothing
got you rosy-cheeked, blushing
digging me, I see you shoveling
Cupid's harpooning got we swooning
utensil-town spooning
say hello to Jell-O pudding pop
that's a little bit much, should probably stop
on a second thought, I'll probably not
cause the way I sold that, Bill would be proud
all I really ask is that you build with me now(2X)
all I really ask is that you bear with me now
take a vaca'[tion] for the day when it gets wild
wanna b with you, constant consonants
no complication via them vowels [vows]
we could just b
skipping i & e
just j-walk into the street harboring no fear towards that sunset
what I like about you, you ain't gotta know how
you do what you do & it is what it is
do what you do & it is what it is
you do what you do & it is what it is
what I like about you, you ain't gotta know how
you do what you do & it is what it is
do what you do & it is what it is
to be with a person you really dig
Love Is

feeling like Will(y) Smith it's
summer summertime
walk hard, talk clean but -
only when I rhyme
lately - I been kinda like - going w/ the tide
not too long ago my mind was racing towards the finish line
like - what doth life?
what a bizarre ride
one minute we liquid
9 months, then we living
or was we living before that?
oh god - I'm thinking too much
thinking is chewing
being is eating
you hungry or what?
I try to tread like that, but
the riptide of my mind got me drifting right back (2X)

what's the use of being here if you ain't here right nao? (∞ X)
verse:
said what's the use of being here if you ain't here right nao?
not now but right nao
whatchu doin sitting 'round
thinking & drowning out the sound
bringin the pain
meth-tical
no need to be so technical
got one mo question, hear me out
(chorus)
living in this present tense
hence why
we got this gift today
everyday's a holiday
turn of phrase that goes to say
rip the wrap w/ no delay
all we need is what we got
why we wait to celebrate?
probably gets more meta that
but mo betta than talkin blues
livin livin in your head all day
elopin w/ imagination
hella time is wasting
I'm late
when I'm livin in the past tense
I'm late
when I'm caught up in the labyrinth
of my mind
wanna be me completely
observe the absurd [thoughts]
like - I don't put that on, that's my word
Zeroh verse:
this is it
this is all
this the shit its a ball
simplistic
i cant help but laugh and
level up in love its terrific
im terrified
these days we rarify
in the zone with the i
yes i blissed as the messiah
save yourself from the fire
fuck frick frack look front n back
aint nuttin but the black of the expanse
this yo chance enhance ya hands and toss yo scorn by the horns in the dance
its an amazing balance
on that center line
take the challenge
aid ur talent
mind body and spirit'll intertwine
enter the dragon it's adventure time
