[Verse 1: T. Chandy]

This that theme music

The shit that I bleed music

Stemming from real trauma I swear that it’s deep rooted

Know that they all sleeping I’m choosing to dream lucid

Cuz nowadays they won’t understand till you prove it

But these days the numbers lie more than bios do

Everybody wanna be followed but never follow thru

Attention the new currency the only check they want is blue

But nothing's ever free, so what does it really cost to you?

Huh?

We all justify the price we pay, ignorance is bliss

Outta sight just means it’s out the way

Picture perfect posing for the photo that they post today

But how many really fit the bigger picture in the frame?

Guess we all bit short sighted

Message left on read

Man I'm tired bull fighting

Always claim amnesia almost like you got Alzheimer’s

I really speak my mind, it’s like twitters your ghost writer

For what?

I could never follow the sheep man the fuck?

Out here on the road less travelled testing my luck

I ain’t compromising myself over a buck

Rather self destruct

I’m just on the cusp

Of some monumental shit

Climbing up the mountain and I never lost my grip

Y’all transforming with the trends

I’m a proven optimist

Cuz

Loathing leads to losing, that’s a proven consequence forreal


[Chorus: T. Chandy]

And I know, and I know, and I know that

All this shit just surface level man

All this shit just

And I know, and I know, and I know that

All this shit just surface level man

All this shit just


[Verse 2: NLN]

I was running round in circles

Living in a simulation

Life was looking so identical

The days was never changing til I

Bet on my creation for a while

Now my number running wild

They be Tasmanian the city starting look at me different

I'm still the same just went through pain

Stop feeling star struck

Act like I saved your name when you ain’t defend mine when I wasn’t there

At times I thought you would care

Until I got Zeye to snap me out it

How you gon say you proud of it

When I said don’t you leave but didn't listen

That’s meaning all the deepest conversations you missed it

How you gon hear from a distance if we be whispering

Loudest ain’t competition

I was at fault for wishing you’d be different

What’s surface level the your lack of understanding that you monotoning bout the bezel ain’t gon make you travel

My dedication can’t be tested you can hear it in the treble that cried a couple tears of fear of starting to settle

I’m hoping that you make a toast to all the folks that be around you steering you in wrong direction cheers to broken pedals

I’m instrumental

All they instructions do is drive you mental

All my advice deserving plaster cuz it’s monumental

Chat logs in museum BSMNT ain’t do it fast was incremental

Run off of motion is the room know that we made em fed up

I never let up

Just hit me when unclear gon hits the charts like jessie said can’t reach my ankles cuz it’s really different levels


[Outro: T. Chandy & NLN]

Levels

Levels

Levels

Yeah, yeah

And I know, and I know, and I know that

All this shit just surface level man

All this shit just

And I know, and I know, and I know that

All this shit just surface level man

All this shit just
