Please put the battery

Back in my back

I’m backing up fast

While hacking up hash

I turned it to ash

I need a new bag

I’m back to that

What a drag

Aw dag

He’s dressed in snags

Again

He’s caught

Not a brag

Retards

Not a lad

He got round left

All of em left

‘cept the real ones

But they far

Not a shit gave

Crashing my car

Homies since day one

Stick to the phone

Bumps and hassles

Y’all stay in the yard

I know that I got a place to call home

I wanna roam and stay

At the same time whoa

Can’t make up my dome

I wanted to break my phone

I was just chasing a ghost

I was amazing the most

You wasn’t taking the time

Meanwhile they taking my dime

I wanna make em a toast

Drink from the tears from my eye

I wanna make em recline

But I know I’m it supposed to

I was so hopeful why

Getting too close

To the flame in my mind

Memories roasting

I’m stoking the fire

I’m getting higher and higher

I’m not getting high anymore

That’s not by choice

I can’t stop

Long enough to enjoy it

Friends with the pot

But right now I’m annoying him

And he’s been avoiding me damn

As tough as I am

Touching my hands

That’s disappointing to me

Drinking the poison to sleep

Waking up later than lamps

Impatience making me cramp

Gets harder to take a stand

Government giving me grands

What is the catch

I know it’s there

I thought nobody really even cared

I have no problem breathing

In the evening air

Without you demons near

I had to buff up my muscles from ear to ear

Now I be chuckling but struggles are there

No need to juggle my troubles I’m aware

But how many things can you not really bare

What does that bring you and why don’t you share

Why don’t stop if it’s not fair

Why don’t you take every problem you have

And escape it

You know all the answers are out there

Being home low chance to amount to something

Doing nothing is doubting the competition

Do not dare

Dead wood feeds

Shit you can’t see

But it’s out there

Said books need

Not look past

You learned to count

You made accounts

And trust your feed

But you won’t feed your mind

It’s just a seedling down their

Ways gotta change

It’s already strange to me

So why not give it a day

And play it out they’re

Not elated what I’m bout swear

I gotta have a different way to paint it

Need a straighter canvas

I’m okay with being pained

If I can put it on a pane or ledger

Music’s my pain and pleasure

Immeasurable how it gains momentum

But it’s welcome

I seldom be without it

Training treasure

And even if it’s not my measures

I feel every texture

I sit and listen to the lectures

Of the giants whose shoulders I stand on

Can’t tell me the man wrong
