It feels so good
I tried to give it a break
but now I’m back on the track same spit different day
yeah it’s been a while my pen was down
cause I had to venture out now
not to mention how I truly hate writing
but make no mistake about it when I do I’m taking lightning
and I bottle the shit grab a cap twist one open
stop to piss and then it’s back to getting going
I’m on top of that list like Kreg is the first name
word it aint nothing to juggle the witted wordplay
but I’m timid in the worst way
cause you’ll never even get it in the first place
so listen to my words when you got a sec
and comprehend that each time I jot my pen
it’s like I’m on a ledge and I got my arms wide open
I don’t know if I can fly but I want to die knowing
look I don’t mean to brag but
me I got a brand new bag
and I don’t mean to brag but
me I got a brand new bag
look I don’t mean to brag but
me I got a brand new bag
and I don’t mean to brag but
me I got a brand new bag
I could sing out loud
on a cloud aint nothing gonna bring me down no
so you can keep that crown
a week from now you’ll be known as the king of clowns yo
peep the download who can do it like me
put the ink to loose leaf and produce some heat
I mean my papers charred from the flames that spark
and illuminate the dark once I make my mark
I’m trying to raise a bar like I’m Roseann’s father
got a flow like lava with the soul of Sinatra
I’m a 80s cat with a 90s style
so it’s kinda ironic how my time is now
so clear some space
I don’t know about tomorrow but I’m here today
and like a hearing aid all up in your ear
with a serenade just to make it clear
that I don’t mean to brag but
me I got a brand new bag
and I don’t mean to brag but
me I got a brand new bag
look I don’t mean to brag but
me I got a brand new bag
and I don’t mean to brag

I walk into my job and I sit at my desk
take a call from a snob and it gives me stress
but it’s all I got to get a check
so I just watch the clock and the minutes left
as I day dream how my day should be
but the way I think is dangerous see
cause it’s making me more angry
I just got to find a way to break me free
find a higher purpose I know I aint perfect
but I’m determined so my mind is working
till the tide is turning but it didn’t today
not that far from minimum wage
I should ask my boss to give me a raise
but she'll probably look lost and wanna spit in my face
man I need a vacation but the week is taken
indeed today I'm gonna get inebriated
time flies but it seems so slow
time flies but it seems so slow
time flies but it seems so slow
cause I’m in the same place from weeks ago
it’s like time flies but it seems so slow
time flies but it seems so slow
time flies but it seems so slow
cause I’m in the same place from weeks ago
I walk into the bar and I pull up a chair
other than my face they don’t know me here
but stick around I got stories to share
matter of fact bartender better pour me a beer thanks
optimistic now my cup is full
I just sip it to get comfortable
an honest living like the Huxtables
but still I’m on a mission like my luck is low
cause money comes and goes and I got nothing to show
it’s the like funds I blow go up in smoke
and burn a hole in my pocket I know it’s a problem
but look mom I been showing some progress
it’s all part of the process
it’s getting harder to digest
it aint my time yet I’m placing my bet
I know I’m gonna blow and I aint making a bomb threat
time flies but it seems so slow
time flies but it seems so slow
time flies but it seems so slow
cause I’m in the same place from weeks ago
it’s like time flies but it seems so slow
time flies but it seems so slow
time flies but it seems so slow
cause I’m in the same place from weeks ago
I stumble in my house and I lay in my bed
watch the day replay in my head
try to think of ways I could make it end
but when I awake it just plays again
I stumble in my house and I lay in my bed
watch the day replay in my head
try to think of ways I could make it end
but when I awake it just plays again
I stumble in my house and I lay in my bed
watch the day replay in my head
try to think of ways I could make it end
but when I awake it just plays again

Sunshine

man I’m so happy I could whistle
if you even need a reason got a list full
if you even see me breathing I’m in this mood
like damn what has he been eating look at this dude
and it’s true I couldn’t say it any better
cause we’re gonna stay together from today until forever
connected at the hip
stop asking if it makes me mad cause that’s my shit
graceful with the face of an angel
faithful every day I’ve been grateful
I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for
all the days you kept me sane and stable or
all the days you kept me up on my feet
when I was down on my luck or I was in too deep
and that’s just a couple reasons that I’m
reminded of you every time I see the sunshine
and every single time I see the shine of the sun
I’m reminded of the times that we’re having fun
and every time I see the smile that is on your face
I realize that this clown finally found his place
and every single time I see the shine of the sun
I’m reminded of the times that we’re having fun
and every time I see the smile that is on your face
I realize that this clown finally found his place
ayo what would you do if I wrote a song for you
and it’s outta key cause I don’t use auto-tune
would you walk out on me cause it seemed overdue
well we're about to see honestly since knowing you
I couldn’t find the right way to word it I had to make it perfect
it made me nervous every time I tried to break the surface
until I raised the curtains and watched the rain outside
a light came on seeing the sun penetrate the sky
aye we got a little family don’t we
you me plus Neena and Yoshi
yeah they dogs but they’re part of the crew
and the way you care for them shows the heart that’s in you (true)
and if you wanna know my favorite thing about ya
it’s that I wouldn’t change a thing and plus I couldn’t be without ya
and that’s just a couple reasons that I’m
reminded of you every time I see the sunshine
and every single time I see the shine of the sun
I’m reminded of the times that we’re having fun
and every time I see the smile that is on your face
I realize that this clown finally found his place
and every single time I see the shine of the sun
I’m reminded of the times that we’re having fun
and every time I see the smile that is on your face
I realize that this clown finally found his place

What It's All About
02:54

you can catch me in a B-boy stance fresh kicks looking hungry
something hanging from my lips that will give me the munchies
left hand got a grip on a fist full of money
while I’m scrolling all through facebook liking pictures of puppies what
cause some bitches are adorable
I switch it up to twitter now I’m hitting up my horoscope
(I don’t believe in that shit) it’s just a message of lies
I guess it applies so I just accept it in stride
feeling blessed I’m alive but still questioning why
still spending my time with my head in the sky
still regretting some lines that I said in my rhymes
but I’m nice with it as long as that gets mentioned I’m fine
excuse me I’m just feeding my ego
cause even these geeks know emcees get treated like Greedo
the kid he keeping it regal you just a jester getting lectured
I suggest you take a second check this record for good measure I’m a
cause this is what it’s about
I get it in if it’s good if it isn’t I’m out
cause this is what it’s about
I get it in if it’s good if it isn’t I’m out
this is what it’s about
cause this is what it’s about
this is what it’s about
stop being dubious been doing this since you was a kid
scratch that a little baby that was drooling on bibs
hashtag mad lazy yeah the truth of it is
lately only in my head is where my music exists
I mainly do this for kicks like I’m all about the bass
going all in on a take like I’m calling out the greats
until I’m falling out of grace I’m still the man of the hour
it’s like I’m up in mushroom kingdom with my hand on a flower
the way I deliver the flow then I get up and go
because that princess a hoe plus I’m missing my show
it’s a toast to some rebels and a female
listen close cause the devil’s in the detail
I'm hitting notes but that means I'm punching my pad
cause I’m mad at shit that I wrote though it wasn’t that bad
but it’s nothing to brag about so I’m ripping it quick
but when I’m spitting like this you know I’m getting it in
cause this is what it’s about
I get it in if it’s good if it isn’t I’m out
cause this is what it’s about
I get it in if it’s good if it isn’t I’m out
this is what it’s about
cause this is what it’s about
this is what it’s about

for what it’s worth I went to catholic school
made the nuns earn their pay that’s the truth
shit you can catch me up at mass at noon
I was the boy on the alter with a chalice of juice
and this is where the next chapter starts
which is the same time I ripped the last one apart
I live the same way as far as morals and ethics
but when it comes to lord and heaven man I’m more than a skeptic
check it honestly I’m not knocking your beliefs
but when I stop and think obviously it’s not for me
I guess free thinking that’s the cost to reason
my thoughts are deep but to y’all that means I’m off the deep end
and it’s no secret that I go against majority
in other regions it would be against authority
so from an awkward silence to a call for violence
when you don’t fall in alignment the result is timeless
that’s the shit I think about
as I drift amongst the clouds
that’s the shit I think about
to the point I got to get it out
I’m trying to put it into words put it in a verse
put it on this earth before they put me in the dirt
I wanna put it into words put it in a verse
put it on this earth before they put me in the dirt
my head is strong so I think about my legacy
and when I’m gone how people gonna remember me
I’m not the healthiest my habits are bad
but I’m not lacking the map to get me back on the path
until then well I guess I’ll let the wheels spin
with real friends that been around since we were children
wish it was still then little as a kid
all innocent and shit man ignorance is bliss
(it is) but I gotta move on
I spent too many moons to the tune of that song
plus 36 rides around the sun
so it’s probably about time I start thinking of one
that’s the shit I think about
to the point I got to get it out
that’s the shit I think about
one day ima get it figured out
