Riverside

[Verse 1]

It's just another night

And it's not even cold

I'm about to take another stroll

To the park and blow smoke

In another effort to calm my thoughts

And reach into my soul

Materialistically, I'm fully grown

My actions have fully shown that I still need to learn

And I still need to love

And I still need to burn this herb

Just to keep my mind above

The mentality of push and shove

And the banality of kush and run

I spend this time to reflect all that I've done

I shake and I tremble

I need the bass and the treble

And I'll be reachin red levels

When I'm tempted by the devil

My mental pendulum swings

Thinking about ending things

I strayed away from my path

So i give my dad a ring


[HOOK]

(Phone rings)

Hello are you there?

Can anybody hear me

I said is anybody there

Can somebody heal me?

Shouting at the air

Why don't the world feel me

Chillin by the riverside

Hoping America steals me


[Verse 2]

The clouds in my brain are as thick as the grain

That I tried to swim against, it made me insane

So inane, I dont need to be afraid of the end result

Either way, win or fail

I will never gonna give up

For the attention or the simple lack thereof

Have I mentioned

I love these lessons

They keep me guessing

When the next message

Is sent my way

When it's my day to go

Will you say that I'm fake?

I will say nope

Will I cope with the change

Elope on the next page

Why do I feel caged in a world so free

Why do we gotta pay every fee

Why don't I freeze when I feel the breeze when the snow covers the leaves

Will even have a summer?

These are things

I wonder? As I ponder

Over yonder, walking by the water

Am I a monster?

Yea I'm a goner, don't bother

Trying to call or text

I'll be callin' mom, When I get home

Cuz I been feelin the need to check

Hello are you there?

Can anybody hear me

I said is anybody there

Can somebody heal me?

Shouting at the air

Why don't the world feel me

Chillin by the riverside

Hoping America steals me

Dreaming since sixteen, born to be infinity

Experiment each possibility, for extra XP

These nerd similes used to make me feel so empty

Then I embraced it, I saw an obstacle and faced it

Thankfully my Egos dead, because the mushshrooms erased it

Yea its true, you just don't wanna face it

Don't get baited

Don't let'em test you

Or get the best of you

Us against the rest

Now, look at me next to you

Hello are you there?

Shouting at the air

Why don't the world feel me

Chillin by the riverside

Hoping America steals me
