I gotta keep writing or else I'm gonna explode So hungry for this there's no way I can
choke Yall talk so entertaining I might aswell chill
and smoke Damn I hate that rap is so inviting for me
to vent on so many folks I swear I'm not usually like this just sometimes
so anxious Been hitting this for a minute drove hundred
thousand miles on hot pavement The Peppers already said it
Guess we'll always wonder what the wave meant
And I'm the farthest person from a saint If you saw some of the stuff I write you'd
wonder if I was sane But I'd rather be me than be an average
of the same You have no substance but you want to be on
display I'm trying to explain to you that the strength
of a building is only as strong as its foundation And entering the public sphere with an image
while doing nothing to strengthen the inner core is not going to end in glory for you
nor enhance anyone Like trying to make a career because a video
of you went viral but not through your own fault or volition
You ain't a color of the wind you're just a dot of hue caught in the whirlwind of public
attention For better or worse we don't agree with you
we're using you to reevaluate and strengthen our own convictions
Because the recipe for resolve and progress involves a dose of contention
Such a seductive pastime to complain It's just my mood sometimes but I'll try
to refrain I really hope you finish school and get that
paper Served on a platter, squirrel cheeks getting
fatter But we addicted to big events stimulation
like every day now New life new city is attractive enough to
tolerate a greyhound But I really think it might be better to establish
some roots rather than wander around But the call of adventure for me is just too
loud But I might be done for
You might not wanna listen to me Chock it up to growing pains
People talkin joinin the 27 club when they haven't even put work out
And we all know it's a skewed truism that what you put in is what you get out
That advice rightly hypes up never ceasing hard work but barely accounts for interest
and doesn't account for luck But I suspect there's an artist inside of
all of us But society tells us never to settle for second
best, knocks down participatory awards, can make it hard to want to even show up
Show up and show out loose friends only there when you wild n' out
But you can't hate on your true friends if you suspect they don't quite know what
you're about But get a little cheddar now people who wouldn't
share sliced cheese complaining you ain't churning their butter
Your life is yours and your views and dreams the same
If any of this stuff helps you maybe one day you'll invite me on your plane
One day, but todays the same Hustle, grind, start, continue, breathe, and
change Today isn't yesterday and who knows what
tomorrow brings A masterpiece isn't written in a day
And it can take a while to move person's hearts
If I could tell you all the stuff I've had to struggle through
Ten thousand mental puzzle pieces put in place and that was just before lunch
Maybe you can't see it yet but you've got a hunch
Great minds think alike but fools rarely differ Ask me if I wanna pause for scratch I'm
like naa I'm chasing paper I'll hit you up later there's something
I gotta do Make a part of me and see through
Haven't you had enough of gurus or do you need someone to keep reminding you
I know, sometimes I appreciate a good reminder too
Focus is a fickle friend Coolest guys I know have the most to brag
about but are the most humble Feels like the rest yall acting some role
in a non-existent show Can't even muster the integrity to work hard
at your job, or give a shit, or come to terms with your own opinions
You're a pandering bozoo with no self-awareness or ability to focus
See what's right in front of you Being a social thinking animal is itself an
obstacle The farther I get the more I question the
old regime and how to do better The less I question my sense of quality and
the path that speaks to me The more I appreciate good friends but it
can still be a challenge to be one The less I'm concerned with appearance,
humanity is deeper than skin or cloth The more relaxed I am doing the small things
because I know focus over time makes success add up
You're not all dissimilar from a bean sprout Nourishment in time grows you up into the
clouds Following your dreams isn't hard, it's
rough Shutting out your body rhythms and sensibility
in order to advance even in the slightest My mind is going mixed nuts and I'm scrapping
for peanuts The chemicals between us
The organisms within us But just singing about things getting better
ain't gonna make it so Words like water only nourish the seeds of
action you sew Rhetoric is just the iceberg's tip revealing
the channels of human spirit More than words is all you have to do to make
it visible from outer space Reconsider your bonds to anyone who tells
you to remember your place I'm afraid of time
It's always the right time to start something It never seems the right time to continue
something And nothing is ever finished
I've got too much time But it's not enough
Wish I was taught better Were the persons who taught me taught better?
I wish I could teach better Most of these role models seem like mannequins
selling tie racks It's easy for me to see reactions to my
actions but it's harder for me to understand them
If I could understand a deeper part of your nature and the sameness in our differences
it'd be easier for me to accept it My verbal meanness is a reaction to an unknown
naiveté and my frustration and desire to control it
You should be wary because unless I can find the light, or you can show me, there's likely
to be a pattern a repeat of thoughts, words, actions, conclusions,
and repercussions Words hurt and people say fucked up shit cause
that's where they're at and coming from Saying someone just needs to accept something
is not going to help them and if you're unsure yourself or haven't
or are unwilling to examine then it's more likely you'll be unable
to communicate what you identify But the effectiveness of your communication
relies on both parties You can only get someone so far in how you
present your worldview The other person has to see something of themselves
in it to make the million connections from one explanation
But you still have to deal with difference in personal experiences and everything they've
been taught or worked out And connecting isn't essential, you can
die alone it wouldn't be the first time in history
Conversely, you can meet a million persons and still miss things about the one who means
the most to you We explore our own and appreciate the depths
of all souls but it's the tiny surface things that get on our nerves
It's persons, not nations, religions, or races that get
stirred up The entire galaxy is a mixing pot
I'm sorry you were born and I'm sorry you're how you are, it was all random
I'm happy you were born and I'm so happy you are how you are and I praise your bravery,
persistence, and the steps you're taking There's no rule that anything should make
sense to you And dwell long enough and anything can make
sense to you Reality isn't rigid, but if your mind isn't
fluid, you're likely to be swallowed up
