[Verse 1]

Yeah, lemme

Roll down the window

Let my curls blow in the wind

So fast a chance my scalp is skinned

But I still grinned

Cause just for now

All my problems have rescind

Yeah, I’m roaring now

I guess life ain’t boring now

Still finding how to push the story somehow

Some times there small confusion

Disillusion

Certain parts in life being complex contusions

But I feel more emotion

I feel more hopeful devotion

I’m devoted to a life of pleasure through pain

A life that’s meaningful to me but maybe to others inane

And though I’m stuck in lifе with the same name

Yеah, I’m not playing the same game

I’ve cut off the loose ends

They’ve gone straight down the shower drain

And though I may be uncertain

I’m making willful excursions

The thoughts in mind are dispersing

Everyday I’m rehearsing to be the person


[Verse 2]

Whose mind is sage

Watching you from the stage

Breaking out the livid cage

Of unprecedented rage

And I’m driving so steady

Finally I’ve fixed the gage

And my life can be fun

Sometimes I’m under the gun

My life has just begun

But under the sun

I’m on the move

And constantly I’m on the run

I’m battling these mind tricks

Becoming a force to be reckoned with

Finally tracks longer than 30 seconds with

I’m living life for the hell of it

With relevance

Banging up life

Cause I can’t be selling it

And I’m telling it cause it’s how I feel

I’m writing dreams no one can steal

Cause everyday I ruminate

Of dreams of no longer being innate

I’m done with feelings of irritation

No, I only want to see times of elation

From these dissertations

That feel like vacations

Sweet and savory sensations

Far from abominations

Personal creations

All made from dedication

Realistic animation

It brings me happiness and elusiveness

It’s a warm embrace just like a sloppy kiss

Sometimes my passion enlists

Though times I reminisce

I’m in no direction to slit my wrists

In this state I feel no way that I detest

Maybe not to you but I’m impressed

My verses fall in line with my purpose

It’s when I feel my purest

Impervious

It’s these energies that encourage us

They hurry us to find recognition

We want so fast

We press the ignition

Make ruthless decisions

On all those who petition

I’ve gotta break it up like nuclear fission

Won’t sue em like New Edition

Turn their bodies into partitions

I envision my life to be something iconic

Not a fall from Grace so demonic

Talking of a new form of exotic fantasies

He known like a deity

Brothers may be hating

But they’ll be seen with me

But I’m lookin for something better

Something to stick around

Keep me warm

Like a parasitic sweater

I got the afro beat blues

I got the afro beat blues

I got the-

A parasitic sweater?

“Yeah, you feel me? Cause it like sticks on to you and doesn’t leave. It’s like a warm piece of clothing?”

“Whatever man.”

“Okay, whatever.”

I’m-

I’m-

I’m-
