[Verse 1]

Platinum roll behind you like you got your wings

Fly motherfucker fly, cut them strings

You better try motherfucker try, chase that thing

You got rattling inside that mind like loose change

I know I’ve lived a lifetime of mistakes

2 decades dwarfed by just a couple days

Seen sore losers battle tooth and nail to no avail

You could try but it won’t go well

Get buck, you’d think I was made venison

Getting sick off a taste of your own medicine

Pedestrians get thrown, a temper that get grown

I'm destined to keep running a temperature, teacher send me home

Need to see my people grow

Catalyst for movement, no kundalini student

But I’m fueling offa inner music

Straight perusing through the catalog

Laser sharp focus no adderall

I ain't need it after all

Get the telephone and let em know I'm peaked

Prolly left over smoke eaten

Down the hatch, no peeking

Damage done to demons

Not through preaching

But through reaching into Pandora’s box

Rip through the sequins or better yet take em all off

Take a good long look at what you lost

Years of going it alone

Turned into a pro

Really I’m just glad to have known you in that capacity

Blink and another casualty

Passively passing off

Way too passenger driven

Only so much gas in the tank, prone to be too ambitious

Would rather solve it without stopping

Solace getting naked, fucked when ain’t no bed to hop in

Got good advice but I rarely follow it

Horse pill in my hand, it’s hard to swallow it

Keep it real like I’m Howard Beale

Knowing all the while prolly couldn’t reach the same mass appeal

[Chorus]

Guess I better count my breaths

Never know how much time you got left

Told me I should watch my step

Didn’t understand what you meant

Now I'm hoping I don’t fall to my death

Should prolly get that weight off your chest

Cut it too close to the vest

Looking like a deer in the headlights

Lost your change to eject, bet

[Verse 2]

Closed off from any sign of being civilized

This is ritual

Coming to you live from the pinnacle

Wonder what arise in the east

Setting like yeast

Make it sting like hot grease

Always hung up on speech

Finally listened to the call

Now I’m on beast

Used to avoiding the fall

Now I’m sitting in front row seats

Searching for when it try to unfold me

But I will not crease

Long as my will not leashed

I'm tryna keep it, man I will not lease

Kickboxing over boom bap beats

I keep it tens toes, even when toe to toe with belief

Still aiming further than what I can see, man

Tryna get my vision on Roger Deakins

Anything to avoid b-plan

Type will you can’t weaken

Even when it’s storm season

Wading in the deep end

Zig-zagging in and out the beacon

Trying not to spill my beans

I know the scene often not what it seem

Though the sword looking weak when I hear how I speak now

Used to hate my voice in recordings, now you hear me I speak out

Though scattered thoughts I can guarantee that the readout clear as can be now

Till the mind catch up with body and turn senile

Imma be hitting every written with a beatdown

[Chorus]

Guess I better count my breaths

Never know how much time you got left

Told me I should watch my step

Didn’t understand what you meant

Now I'm hoping I don’t fall to my death

Should prolly get that weight off your chest

Cut it too close to the vest

Looking like a deer in the headlights

Lost your change to eject

Guess I better count my breaths

Never know how much time you got left

Told me I should watch my step

Didn’t understand what you meant

Now I'm hoping I don’t fall to my death

Should prolly get that weight off your chest

Cut it too close to the vest

Looking like a deer in the headlights

Lost your change to eject, bet
