(Foolish Ed) Verse 1:

Sittin on the roof top

Wondering when this

Shit comin to a stop

I picture myself

Somewhere else

I gotta get away

Find my place

Tired of this useless hate

Why you gotta be so fake

Trying to leave the place

I call home

Useless people who never

Go alone

Wake up and look at all the

Fake smiles

That's what I don't admire

Who you trying to impress

The only thing you ever

Need is your breathe

Don't take life for granted

Finding someone who candid

No more of that second handin'

Staring out into the world

So much shit making my head

Whirl

The moon looking like a pearl

In the sky

It needs nobody to shine

I treat a girl like the moon

I don't look at her in phases

She always full even when

She hides in plain sight

Just cause she has darkness

Doesn't mean she got no light

I wanna find that girl

And show her the world

But this rooftop

Has other intentions

Standing up here

Got me tensions rising

Wondering

If I jump will i start flying

Defying gravity

Will anyone watch

Or will they all look away

No one loves you

Until you go away

Take that step

And take my breathe away

I'm gone

Here I go

(Alexander the Great) Verse 2:

The guy from D.C. Taught me to see oddly

Rather fondly, a feeling so out of body

I mos def, see no stress

I don't flex, I don't press stop

Just press play, my best day is everyday

My rays shine the shade away

Yo my momma I say

Today is the day

Send the children out to play

The rains gone away

To come back another day

We used to say

We put the square in Logan

The words we wrote our tokens

Not chosen, but blessed

Our parents stressed, for our best

Their dedication is seen in my creations

A constant inspiration

Their love my medication

We were kids in the land of oz

Trying to follow the gold against all odds

Ignorance to the laws

Believing we were gods

Until the curtains fall and the sound of the applause
