Cloud Conversation

[Intro: Gon]

A heart that is sound, most often is drowned

In the chest of an artist or author renowned

Either washed off the ground, or lost in the sound

Of the death of the rap or applause from the crowd

You can follow the clown, but offer a frown

But you'll always find life where water is found


[Verse 1: Gon]

I talked to the clouds in the grey sky

Getting pissed at my style cause I choose sides

I crushed the true song, I cut to prove Gon

Is too confused to say life sucks and move on

I started this thought in front of a friend's tobacco shop

Almost killed me driving home, I said I have to stop

Never did, said I'd drive home to settle it

That was months ago, I still can't find where the hell I live

I sketch a lung for every time a breath bleeds

And left my tongue on 79th and Kenzie

Never been the grown son relatives would show love

Yeah I know Zaid I think I met him at a show once

He was weird...

I mean like every single trait

He was nice, he was clever

He was everything I hate

I own a phone that I never heard

Hope it never rings

And I roam like a feathered bird

With a lesser wing

Devils in the state make residences vacate

Lessons of my echo will assemble at my face wake

Never will I chase fate

Television viewers don't know the difference between melanin and face-paint

Breathing in jars of plague and never got sick

Leaving them all to stay with a treasured conscience

Needing to walk away but my legs are locked in

Either you'll fall or pray for a better option, like

Lord be lenient, born in this world

Receiving orders leading to horrid scene switch

I'm forced to leave this

Some fingers when chopped off will make handshakes more convenient

And I can't leave and quit like a tree that hates Spring

And when the bees are sick then the beetle may sting

I been really pissed trying to rearrange things

So I'mma breathe a bit and let Peter Frank sing


[Hook: Peter Frank]

I been waiting all my life

For this moment in my life

Can only pray I do things right

I'm just gone

So many thoughts here in my mind

So many answers left to find

So many questions asking why

I'm just gone


[Verse 2: Gon]

I talked to the clouds in the grey sky

Cause I know they won't frown when I say bye

And even when the seventh sky thunders

Testing, I press her I'll never cry under

The seams were torn, and the rest of my tongue burnt

A scream was born and they let it die unheard

Deaf and blind, hunger

But I've slept on broken glass enough times to recognize comfort

Loud, crooked left

Owl took his breath

Looking for the midpoint between childhood and death

Cause I'm too young to be responsible and patient

And too old to hold those promises as sacred

I hate to watch pain with my name attached

If I could only find the word to hit the nerve

Then I would take it back

Love you? No, I've outgrown that plan

Only arm wrestle with you just to hold that hand

And I know I can't MC for shit

Can't feed a kid, with a dream and myth

So I'm leaving this

This is just an album-long explanation of why I need to quit

The reason Izz makes all the beats I pick

Is cause I know he's as pissed as me with this

Relieve the stress, wrong syllable

But they can't distinguish between Zaid's kiss and Gon's trigger pull


[Bridge: Gon]

I am not a lover waiting

Clutter placement

Nothing fragrant

Dragging hovers flameless

I'm just another patient who eased the tension

Laughing at lack of oxygen while suffocating

And I can't leave and quit like a tree that hates Spring

And when the bees are sick, then the beetle may sting

I been really pissed trying to rearrange things

So I'mma breathe a bit and let Peter Frank sing


[Hook: Peter Frank]

I been waiting all my life

For this moment in my life

Can only pray I do things right

I'm just gone

So many thoughts here in my mind

So many answers left to find

So many questions asking why

I'm just gone
