I've been fully out my head

Tell me if I'm tripping

Tell it to me straight if there's something I am missing

In a rear view mirror, see a jackpot spinning

If we racing I'm winning

Won't break until the finish, 'til I'm dead

Tell me if I'm tripping

Tell it to me straight if there's something I am missing

In a rear view mirror, see a jackpot spinning

If we racing I'm winning

Won't break until the finish, 'til I'm dead

I haven't been as honest with me as I probably should

I haven't been as honest with you as I wish that I could

I burned the oars and made the map in hope that you understood

In my defence I made this raft out of driftwood

It's either sail or rudder, one after the other

Peace inside my chest that flutters like a butterfly under this water

Caught up in the blotter numbers what I could'a got

If somethin' would have caught her, If I could have caught that ember

Made a fire to remember, I do my best to render

But I feel like a pretender, just started, never knew where I would end up

It gets harder every year, but I never met surrender

No no give up, just to get up, now I'm here

Now I'm banging on this wall that I've been banging on for decades

Not to be a hefe with a fan-base and nest-egg

The only way to calm this chest-ache, vibration my chest make

So I'm rappin' like a fool until death announces "checkmate"

Don't know if that's cool or if I even do is workin'

Keep goin' port to port and something tells me that its worth it

Keep searching for the wind to fill the ink inside my pen

My whole life i never felt right

I'm out my head

[P.O.S.]

Dimethyltripdemitri

Risen over vision while my body sits beneath me

Prob'ly flip the switch and set the ship across the sea

Lost at launch, cross the continents, tossed amongst the wash

In the drink, these liquid lungs, skin thickens up

Come to shove? pick a push, I prefer it to loss of love

Watch

See how if left alone, it presses on

Let the pressure start to fester 'til the next prepared departure

Peace, toss the bunny ears

Deuces, ain't no running here

Truces proving useless, this noose is removing air

I took this bait but didn't mean to

Still I seen it through, fever dreams, what's a fiend to do?


[Dessa]

Feet first, breach birth

Home holds it breath until my screams hurt

Liked in color, later language love and yes you learn to suffer

My departures now outnumber my arrivals

After all this evolution, fit for nothing but survival


[Mitclan]

We fight like Kunta K, this is our bloodsport

That bite is tooth decay until the roots torn

But I still got my wisdoms, honestists[?] and bad magicians

Nothin' up the bedsheets, floating in the dead seas

Hopeless, still romantic, romanticize the frantic

Is it safeties in my panic? is it safeties in the numbers?

If i was trippin', the walls would be drippin'

And I could let it go in an instant but this is something different

I gave the light her name, equation made it perfect

And we can fight the flame, but the baby is what's burning

She's not the torch, lost my head from all my wishes

Now all the kings horses trap all the queens fishes
