Closing In

I see the walls and they closing in quick
Seen the ground fall from feet
I got the call, started losing my shit
This is so not what it seems
I see the walls and they closing in quick
Seen the ground fall from feet
I got the call, started losing my shit
This is so not what it seems
I don't know nothing bout that, shit is not what I expected
Give a fuck what you think, I ain't looking for acceptance
If you ride with the boy, then you know that I'm indebted
People live to hate and I'd love to fucking dead em
Fuck it
Still think I'm bluffing
Now you need something
You don't get nothing
I told you from the gate, you could have everything
Gotta take a gamble, ain't no guarantees
Light another candle, vigil for the casualties
Shit that get you rattled, that shit give me therapy
Rolling by myself, ya'll rolling with the cavalry
Used to have a rat pack, poison got us scattering
I am not a veteran, I am not a rookie
I am not the one to pull back if you push me
You talk a lot of shit, what the fuck is it to me?
Used to rock the mask with the gloves and the hoodie
That was 2 decades ago
I was ready to go
Now I step in the door
Got the ebb and the flow
Gotta keep it composed
I ain't tripping on shit
Ya'll can do what you do
Just ain't nothing I miss
And I know
Yeah I know
This life get muhfucking crazy
Yeah I know
Yeah I know
This life get muhfucking crazy
Yeah I know
Yeah I know
This life get muhfucking crazy
I see the walls and they closing in quick
Seen the ground fall from feet
I got the call, started losing my shit
This is so not what it seems
I see the walls and they closing in quick
Seen the ground fall from feet
I got the call, started losing my shit
This is so not what it seems
I see the walls and they closing in quick
Seen the ground fall from feet
I got the call, started losing my shit
This is so not what it seems
I see the walls and they closing in quick
Seen the ground fall from feet
I got the call, started losing my shit
This is so not what it seems

Leave
03:11
|

Baby, I wanna leave this town
Can we leave this town?
This place keeps killing my dreams
Keeps killing my dreams
Baby, I wanna leave this town
I wanna leave this town
This place keeps killing my dreams
It keeps killing my dreams
I just left the state in a bad state
Eyes dialate, wating to fly away
My diet MIA, I haven't slept and haven't ate
Knocking on hell's door, shaking heaven's gates
Ahhh, yeah, well it's one of the two
I been sinning all my life but keep on praying for you
And I been watching all the ways that they stay preying on you
Can feel my fuse is getting shorter, think my wiring loose
I need to leave it, it's deaded
I need to reset and edit
I got a little bit of credit now I'm leaving indebted
They said to fake it till you make it but I don't do no pretending
Don't need a trophy for my efforts or my participation
I got to go
Body cold
Adios
Only way I'm thinking of you is as a ghost
Got close
Had a dose
And had to leave
Broke nose, ripped clothes, and missing teeth
Baby, I wanna leave this town
Can we leave this town?
This place keeps killing my dreams
Keeps killing my dreams
Baby, I wanna leave this town
I wanna leave this town
This place keeps killing my dreams
It keeps killing my dreams
Ay
And I don't know if I'm asleep or awake
Climbing out the pits of Hell via fire escape
You know what I am, but I know what I ain't
I ain't giving up no time to you phony's and fakes
Done it enough
You running up, my anxiety
It's either you or I'm running from my sobriety
I blame your low self-esteem on high society
And no I wont intervene so quit eyeing me
Irony is
I told you get you knew friends
Look at your surroundings how did you think that it would end?
You been lying to yourself and you been lying to them
Why do you value they opinion? They don't know who you is
What were you thinking?
Or were you thinking at all?
This a problem you created, you will not be absolved
Put yourself in situations that you cannot resolve
And then you play the fucking victim, boutta aim at your cause
Baby, I wanna leave this town
Can we leave this town?
This place keeps killing my dreams
Keeps killing my dreams
Baby, I wanna leave this town
I wanna leave this town
This place keeps killing my dreams
It keeps killing my dreams

Four Fifths
02:31
|
|||
Didn't think it'd be a night like this
Get a bottle and I drink four fifths
Lost memory, dropped that disc
New identity, who dis?
Didn't think it'd be a night like this
Get a bottle and I drink four fifths
Lost memory, dropped that disc
New identity
Knew that it was wrong the moment that I started
I couldn't find my way back tho
Lost in a thought while holding a bottle
Seemed like the only way back home
Looking and looking I couldn't find nothing
I only stumbled into problems
Nothing is ringing a bell, tell me the tales
I can't recall them
But one time, more than one time
I put my neck on the line, almost lost it
If I see the same people that pushed me to sink
I'll leave em leaking like a faucet
Needed an offset
Now need an off switch
Everything spinning and I'm feeling nauseaus
Circling back to when you had asked
Why people the only thing that make me cautious
Chalk it up to bad experience
Chalk it up to bad advice
Chalk it up to bad decisions
Chalking out the body lines
Blocking out my inhibitions
Clocking out I'm missing time
Couple bruises in addition
It's nothing new, I'm doing fine
It's nothing new, I'm doing fine
This is how it's always been
I don't need to feel alive
But I don't want to feel dead
Caught another in a lie
Caught another in a web
With some I had missed all the signs
But most of them played with my head
I'm cool without you, cool without you
Lemme pop a couple placebos
Gotta get my head right
'Fore I head right down the wrong road and I see you
I don't got the energy
And I don't got the will
I don't got the patience
Aye can somebody gimme the bill?
I shoulda known right when I walked in
I wasn't gonna leave that quick
They didn't leave me any options
I don't know about this
Knock and all the necks twist
Talk and all the heads turn
Watch when all the eyes glaze
Boutta get what I deserve
I don't know what that is
I don't know what that ain't
Trying to lose my identity
Trying to hide my whole face
I wanna get lost in the crowd
I'm always in my own way
I've gotta figure this out
Can somebody pour me a drink?
Ay, yeah
Didn't think it'd be a night like this
Get a bottle and I drink four fifths
Lost memory, dropped that disc
New identity, who dis?
Didn't think it'd be a night like this
Get a bottle and I drink four fifths
Lost memory, dropped that disc
New identity

Already Sinking

Already Sinking
Already Sinking
There ain't no point in trying to rescue me
Lost at sea and I guarantee I'm
Already sinking
Trying to fight the same waves that carry me
Barely made it out alive, shit been harrowing
Ain't no point in trying to rescue me
Ain't nobody gotta bury me, I'm
Already sinking
Trying to fight the same waves that carry me
If I make it out alive, it's narrowly
Well I been drowning in my own thoughts
Heart drop, my breath stop, and blood clot
Half of me to remembered, other half could be forgot
Half my homies turned they back and I'm still trying to turn the clock
Agh, I heard that it's a suicide mission
The same people saying it got me the position
Driven, nearly to the end of my road
My proposition has conditions and I think that you know
So, oh, just leave me alone
I got lost on purpose, I don't need the crown or the thrown
I'm an underdog, here to help the crowd overthrow
I'm a common man, average income, generally broke
Low-key, doing shit on the side
And I ain't trying to buy to get it, I'm just trying to get by
Live wire, lighting fires no fuse
Living wage, digging graves, heavy breathing the fumes
I feel consumed
All of these smaller and smaller rooms
Doom my new mentality, I howl at the moon
The stench looms
Everything I thought that I knew
Boiled down to paragraph 3, article 2
What the
Uggh, no wonder I can't find stability
They steady shaking the foundation, asking what the Richter read
I wouldn't call it victory, they tout it as a win
Heart is on my sleeve but my patience wearing thin
Age is setting in
I need my medicines
The Devil knocking on the door, please don't let him in
I got away before but I don't think I will again
Been living in this Hell and don't know where Heaven went
Can't live in present tense when I'm still paying for my past
The future don't exist until I'm in it looking back
Was working on a path, but now I'm boutta hit the road
The only way to do that is to leave and let it go
There ain't no point in trying to rescue me
Lost at sea and I guarantee I'm
Already sinking
Trying to fight the same waves that carry me
Barely made it out alive, shit been harrowing
Ain't no point in trying to rescue me
Ain't nobody gotta bury me, I'm
Already sinking
Trying to fight the same waves that carry me
If I make it out alive, it's narrowly
Already Sinking
Already Sinking

Like That
02:19
|

Shit is all the same
I don't give a fuck about none of the fame
My shit not in the big picture
My shit is out of the frame
I got range
I got aim
I got everything you looking for
One thing doesn't change
And it's everything I'm living for
I don't got money but I got what I need
Had a good job that I lost to the C
Right in the middle of writing this verse
And the whole damn Nation got brought to they knees
All that I know is I still gotta push
Shifting the gears then it's back to the clutch
Kicking up dust, been in a rush
I can't be waiting for you to adjust
I know what I know
Do what I do
Lie in the bed that I made and it's cool
I don't know why you be tripping on views
When you ain't done nothing to get in the view
Tell me I'm wrong, show me the proof
String me along, I'll make you a noose
What is your angle? This shit is obtuse
Focused on the one so I give em the deuce
Yeah and it's like that
And I don't care if you like that
I ain't gonna be right back, no
And I don't care if you fight back, no
And it's like that
And I don't care if you like that
I ain't gonna be right back, no
And I don't care if you fight back, no
And it's fuck what they say
I only take cues from they moves
It's hard to believe anybody these days
You gotta just watch what they do
Learn to deduce
Push and produce
You gonna get cut, gonna get bruised
Looking for a spark, better light that fuse
You don't ever win, you don't ever lose
I got news tho
I been watching all your steps
And they don't align with the shit that you say
I think that we should check the math ayy yeah
It ain't real yo
Everything you talking fake
You put yourself in a position to fail
Then wonder why everyone leave ayy
Yeah and it's like that
And I don't care if you like that
I ain't gonna be right back, no
And I don't care if you fight back, no
And it's like that
And I don't care if you like that
I ain't gonna be right back, no
And I don't care if you fight back, no
Shit is all the same
I don't give a fuck about none of the fame
My shit not in the big picture
My shit is out of the frame
I got range
I got aim
I got everything you looking for
One thing doesn't change
And it's everything I'm living for

Runner Up

Tell me something that I don't know
Tell me something that I don't know
I run away from the truth and I
I ran away from the truth, it's like
Tell me something that I don't know
Tell me something that I don't know
I run away from the truth and I
I ran away from the truth, it's like
I see the issues, got no need for the mirror
Got the foggiest of memories from bottles of clear
I want the eyes on me but stay tripping on stares
And I tend to overreact when I'm under prepared
I need another 20 years so I can fix the mistakes
Borderline about to board a flight and hit the escape
Half my body soak in sadness, other half of it ache
I'm a walking contradiction still just stuck in my place
I don't know
I should go, is this considered loitering?
Love and hate get interchanged, the train of thought is Freudian
Back into the future, boutta get me a Delorean
You gotta have your head on straight to know that you're disoriented
I made a couple of trips
2am to Echo Park working double the shifts
Didn't make a fucking cent but I loved what I did
I want to die as an example of the way that I lived
So, that means I know it's coming but I'm ready
Making jokes bout drowning in my tears as they release the levee
I see the fatal flaw in this, I'll pay the pretty penny
A complicated optimist and opposite, depending
See ya bending all the rules and breaking all your promises
It's benefiting you, but hurting your accomplices
Circumvent the truth and never tell em bout the consequences
I don't know bout you but this shit make me lose my confidence
It's common sense a gut reaction
Knowing when to push or pass it
Learning how to listen when ya body say the shit is backwards
I don't recognize the signs but I can emulate the patterns
Half the time I'm wrong, the other half the time don't even matter
Ayy, I got some learning to do
I'll be the first one to admit it I'm done running from truth
And I know, you probably heard it all before
You can run away from truth but why deny it when it's yours?

Into The Dark
02:30
|

Been a long damn road
I don't know that I know anything
Feel like I been it alone
Feel like I'm my own worst enemy
Can't see myself making the goal
When all of my focus on penalties
How can I keep the shit light when
Everything hit me so heavily
Steadily they say the rise yeah
But I'm definitely not in the mood
Got the pedal to the floor, what it do?
I'ma be gassing my way to the fuel aye
Cuz I don't know no different
And I don't know no better
Blink and you miss it
Sleep and it's over
I never been one to chase nobody down
And I'm not gonna start with it now
Being connected is not a connection
Don't let this shit tie you back down
I'm worth more than that
Screencap every interaction
Pass shit like a quarter back
I just be myself, I don't chase reaction
I pushed myself into obscurity
Thinking I wasn't worth anyone's time
Hung on the fringe
Hung on the edge
Really I just hung myself out to dry
I don't know why
I don't know how
I don't know when
I don't know where
I don't know what
I don't know who
I am not here
I am not there
Stuck in a moment
Lost in a thought
Stare at the wall until I lost my job
Say it's for winners, then I'm at a loss
I don't know nothing bout nothing at all
Swear I know everything
Just want to help
End up a detriment all to myself
Pull some old whiskey up off of the shelf
Who need a liver when they got a tale?
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark ay
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark ayy
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark
Follow me into the dark yeaa
Follow me into the dark
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
Yeah
