And I bet you motherfuckers thought that I was gone for good. Back in the flesh with the grit of the dirt in my teeth as I write this bullshit, Can't be the best but I spit all the words in my sleep, my brain just pulses, Within the night, I fight with the left and the right and I'll find the culprit, Of my aneurysms but goddamn your diagnosis, I'm a fucking beast and I'll fucking split you like mitosis Born of a couple slaves, I split the seas 'cause I am Moses Always act this cocky when I rap to hide emotions If I didn't, I think you all would realize I am broken Back to the flow Passionate MC can't face me 'til after the show It's packed to capacity and they laugh with glee at my antics Freely, frantically Abandon all your hopes of being a rapper I'm as animated as a flash cartoon made by Stamper You can't fuck with me I'm over the top and out of this world Is that understood? I'm hot as shit every month of the year Like a calendar girl Got that style that'll make me a living one day but I ain't got shit right now And I bet you motherfuckers thought that I was gone for good I ain't write a chorus I ain't I ain't write a chorus Motherfucker, I ain't write a chorus And I bet you motherfuckers thought that I was gone for good I ain't write a chorus I ain't write a motherfucking chorus I ain't I ain't write a chorus And I bet you motherfuckers thought that I was gone for good Pouring my heart and my soul into this music So money is only part of the goal Moreso another obstacle Need a good mic, need a good headset And you're never gonna know if you're ever gonna go to bed But I'm doing all this shit to make it profitable? I don't know This industry's twisted Go and beg for forgiveness Your mind's a fucking wallet that you have to relinquish And you could be talking 'bout all of the cancer and sickness But you made a mockery smoking a blunt in a civic. You ain't got no message there for us to interpret In fact it's like you're acting like you're hip to stay current While you're sitting on your ass I am here scratching the surface I just wish that wordsmith meant that you were actually working I ain't a perfect person but you ain't better when you're writing in cursive Take the advice of the sermon and get out of the game unless you're really fucking good But I wish that everyone would know I'm just misunderstood And I bet you motherfuckers thought that I was gone for good And I wish that everyone would know I'm just misunderstood

(Verse 1) I am breaking this hip hop Turn your phones into wristwatches And I'm gonna do this, watch Pull the flap and it dislodges They be like "What is this nonsense?" People being led to thinking rap is making progress It ain't happening Smoking reefer when I'm on this Party with the bitches Like I'm stuck I'm stuck inbetween two white rapper paradoxes And let's be honest, they're obnoxious I'm making jams, that's hella obvious, though Within my soul is a very ominous glow I don't feel myself If I reveal my heart will it impede my health? If I make a record will it succeed and sell? If I make an effort then we'll tell time But time will tell (Chorus) But time will tell (Verse 2) I've been doing this since I was fucking seventeen And I don't think I'll ever be changing If I'm making people see That my apocalyptic vision is to take apart the universe And everything you'll ever be Then why not? If I make it for myself Everybody else can go fuck off and die in hell, man I've been making beats since I was in the sixth grade Clarinet repping From the bell I pull a switchblade Make face like Nick Cage Placate my disdain I'm a basic bitch-made brainless ape still aiming for the top Come get me but I got my fist raised I'mma make this shit stay 'Cause if I don't make it to the top Better bet that you're gonna feel this rage But time will tell

(Verse 1) Yeah, I'm back with a vengeance And I got a lot of shit to say but I can't in a sentence Have you ever lost your mind and what you find is a menace? But the amount of rhymes that you're pouring forth is tremendous And that's just a side effect Of being victim to this illness And I know we can't fight this virus yet Gonna watch and let it kill us Take a pill for all the pain we feel Depressed, we sit in stillness Got a mil in the bank but a hole in my life and money ain't fullfilled it and I'm Breaking my jaw for this rap I ain't making it all to look back Making this paper, it ain't coming quick So I got a job to fall back on If I were smart I would stop Go back to college enough To get a degree and then I am free to go pursue my passion But I ain't be another motherfucker wasting his time You can tell me what good it would do When you're sitting there watching paint dry I like to think I'm better than What my thoughts would tell me otherwise "You ain't the shit, You'll pay for this and you'll be just like the other guys," I ain't going this far to be pulled by my neck I'm enormous, storming the set Performing a rap that I know in my head I'm off of the rails Not gonna fail All to the hail GTK And if I were anyone else, then Would you be there for me when I fell? No (Chorus) Would you be there for me when I fell? Would you be there for me when I fell? No (Verse 2) And everything that I ever could want was already Right in front of my eyes But I didn't notice because they were closed Back and forth are my thoughts Present memories fight with the past and the future It's making me nauseous so take a precaution The future is nothing but clones I'm starting a small revolution And I've come to the final conclusion That Humanity's stupid So thank you for choosing this species Now do what you're told Part of me wishes that I could be a better person But if anyone thinks they deserve respect from me You earn it You come across as an ass You ain't the first to say that I take a step Fall flat on my face and take a second step back You come across as a geek What the fuck made you think that? There's more to me than the hair and the glasses Go compose your tweet If I were anyone else Would I be dumber as well? It's hard to think without this pen the tales we'd never tell I'm all alone in this industry And all of it is convincing me that Even if you're worth a damn You struggle to the top perpetually And if you even make it What's there to see and be embraced in? If you make your dream come true What's the point of being wasted? I don't wanna be preaching But I got a justified reason At least I hope I do Don't want to look into stuff with no meaning If all the world was a maelstrom And all the glory of hell spawned Could Nostradamus predict that you would be there for me when I fell? No (Chorus) Be there for me when I fall

(Chorus) Have you ever took the time To look in the mirror at yourself and find You may not like what you see But this all that is me is all I will ever be And the wall of my scars I will break Because this fall will give me more than what's at stake And this wall has a portrait of my face And it's drawn in the blood of my mistakes (Verse 1) Don't you see your own scars Better than anyone else When you broke your bones apart Was anyone there to help and Maybe I'll just keep my soul in stealth 'til I control myself I've treated people badly when I shouldn't and I know it well Yeah Try not to dwell on the past because Bitterness and anger won't leave the brain while the hatred's amast Breaking glass over my head? Let's face it You ain't feel any better once you've made an apology compilation And a lot of you will say this kid is so ostentatious But I'm sorry if I caused a lot of you irritation I just wanna make an impact on the universe and Be someone that people will look up to like a constellation Made it my religion to make this music And with my heart I will prove that All it takes is writing and tuning You vocalize the emotion Be alive with convulsions Make every second of every day feeling like life makes it worth it (Chorus) (Verse 2) This is all I'll ever be Calling to the God that I feel belongs to me It could be one of all that has existed Over many centuries and I can never feel in debt to one Except when they present to me anything I'd ever want Then I realize it was all on earth Because when consciousness is God you feel a lot less hurt But the good and evil always even out as we turn Making this existence flawed A set we've yet to rehearse Man I'm a degenerate kid Going so fast I'm becoming the wind My scars are a tool that I'm using to prove I'm worth more than the noose hanging under my chin Breaking the barriers of my own psyche It's hard to be deep all the time when you're writing At least when you write You make it your own You always do better when barking and biting (Bridge) And if making it is as hard as it is If it's as hard as it is If it's as hard as it is Then Imma do my best to make something of it (Chorus x2) (Bridge)

[Verse 1] I'm not a sociable person Throughout all my life in school I was left for desertion The only friends I had held me as a burden I would act out erratically 'cause inside I was hurting It was worse than when my dad left But I don't blame him At least he was getting help with his alcoholism When he came back We both learned a valuable lesson And I'm thankful that my mother raised me well when he's missing But I wish that I could talk to people Even though I'm skeptical that some of you are evil I'm focused on the right now When you stayed up for the sequel And I'm positive that heaven's on the Earth Even though it ain't peaceful Make something of yourself 'Cause we all got demons that we break through If you make do with what you got What you're not is everyone else And no one's fucking wealth could ever replicate you Ate through my thick skin Leaving a shell of a disbanded dissed man Coming off like verbal diarrhea Call me Michael Scott But only act like that with people that I like a lot [Chorus X2] "No wonder... Demons" I'm sorry I... "Can't help you" "No wonder..." Everything you ever did is "Coming back around" [Verse 2] Believe me, there's no bad blood If you hurt me in the past Don't sing me a sad song because More than likely I was organizing All the shit you said to absorb it in writing I don't hold grudges No scars, but a few smudges I don't know much, Jenny But I know what love is My parents told me that if I worked my hardest I could shoot an arrow to the stars and hit my target And I'm sorry for all the friends I used to have I don't think I ever meant to end it bad But I'm a bad friend I like to keep to myself Maybe I'm obnoxious and deserve what I felt But no matter what, I play the hand that I'm dealt I go tell my insecurities to strangle themselves But I feel guilty I ain't played Clarinet in three years And I feel really bad because I knew it so well There's a lot of things that I regret If I changed the past there'd be a negative effect So I sit here writing, waiting, hoping for the best I think it's time we put our mental demons to the test [Chorus X2]

(Chorus) This night I write my anthem When everything seems random Remember you were born upon the Earth And that means that there ain't no place that you can run No matter if you're poor or got an exorbitant cash fund We orbit a system and it ain't work of fiction Falling to prediction It is so the science that has let our minds be lifted (Verse 1) I wanna be an astronaut But I think that's something I forgot The thought of learning what's beyond us is Just as fucking awesome as a friend beyond trust It's admiration Mother Earth has given me a gift for gab So imagine what is capable in another galaxy To think that aliens use to be another fantasy What if all we know is just a fallacy? And gravity is just another form of tragedy That's trying to constrain us from visiting our ancestors In the comets that they hail from Ain't one to always be a pessimist but Elements are all we made of and There's an ending starting day one So is there a possibility of learning where we came from? (Chorus) (Verse 2) Our observations Maybe they are forsaken 'Cause we're holed up on the Earth in this incarceration But we all know that the universe is far from vacant Y'all can make it to planet mars An ancient civilization Study the land and find what caused extinction Of the people that may or may not used to live "There's no such thing as that," until the proof exists And I ain't got no bad blood to the people that I meet That tie their heart around a crucifix I just wanna bear the truth With the lyrics in my youth Because that is all my music is If I can hop in a booth and spit Who's to say that you can't do it too We landed on the moon and as cool as it is it's Written on my wishlist That I'll be flung in space and I'll let my mind be lifted (Chorus)
