By the way, I be up on mad schemes and beat up on pads read it back and tear the page like this can't be where I'm at Young of age and free of weight, I once believed there was magic Now I'm drained of all my mana, not a dream I could cast Sleep doesn't last, How I manage when the planner say my week doesn't track? Why I see so many sadder days like secrets with Zak? Weekend state of mind, I just need to relax before I manifest panic (TOO LATE) Manic on the microphone, write your own story scratch that, describe your soul Tell me what's the reason why you out here hunting genies and why you let the Kishin in your mind assign your role You ain't under oath, can I trust you when you speaking or is everything you say just a means to meet your goals And you can hide the bleeding but I can feel that hole up in your heart so when you wanna fill me in, let me know we can see about it DO YOU MEAN EVERY WORD THAT YOU'RE SAYING? DO YOU MEAN EVERY WORD THAT YOU'RE SAYING? DO YOU MEAN EVERY WORD THAT YOU'RE SAYING? DO YOU MEAN- (Y'all get it together before we all get it together over here) Yo, cut the moon out of black paper No guide in the night, it's a vast crater Trace figure eights in the sky seeking answers Fairy blue muse in the pool told me ask later (NOW WHAT?) I round up on the math, it's bad practice It's mad factors I lack, I can't crack this yet I'm outmatched, depressed and distracted Investing less effort in keeping my own actions in check- -the rhime one time for the fool it describes Quest defined by his pride's only fuel on the fire Second time for the tribe, keep me fully inspired Yeah, my crew be the flyest but you already knew Right? March blind through the ides Need a girl in my life who resembles a scythe Cause I only see scars with these stars in my eyes Do you mean every word? Yeah I think that I might DO YOU MEAN EVERY WORD THAT YOU'RE SAYING? DO YOU MEAN EVERY WORD THAT YOU'RE SAYING? DO YOU MEAN EVERY WORD THAT YOU'RE SAYING? DO YOU MEAN EVERY WORD THAT YOU'RE SAYING?

JAYLOCK: Walking like I'm tryna get lost Zig-zag in my step, I'm just dodging the plot In the back mixing tracks, missing half of whats taught After School making classics 'bout the classes we dropped Mondo and Lock, passing notes and slashing throats Tanked the grade average while we changed the rap status quo Now we taking over the curriculum: Drowning 101 Ain't no study guides, you just have to know YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING Many wings been clipped, for what? A penny sings for shit And plenty kings with riches still be envying our clique I feel steady in my kicks, keep me stepping, never trip Just set it down a petty crown's too heavy for my fit and I stay lifted Mondo pull the ship around, we skipping out No nuance in our truancy, we rolling up the bluest dream And blowing up the scene til it's nothing as it seems Better get your mind right before you test ASDC (rest in peace) MONDO: Heed these words that I spit into the ether I know that you hate me, I don't fuck with me neither I been begging for a speck like "c'mon please sir" Oliver twist then hit the dope til we sleepers Mondo and Jaylock like Rocky and Bullwinkle Pinky and the Brain but like four times as evil Cruising through space like Jet Black and Spike Spiegel Flex extra hard on the mic just to spite people The space ghost coast to coast, I'm too dope I write like Ben Folds if he bumped Co Flow I'mma crush all your fun, fuck your plus one, let's go It's like a zerg rush the way the Death Club flow, oh From a city where it snowstorms in fake nights Classmates like warped tapes, they don't play right They bad actors, they fancy them a playwright Lately showing weakness like steak to a great white

(Dreams, they're for those who sleep) (Life is for us to keep) I suture self after I cut a groove 'cause I don't know no other move My rudder screwed, I paddle 'gainst the current mood in spite A clever ruse in time to think that better views I'd find along this narrow path that winds and forks I'm forced to pick a tine and... Define trajectory of my life, I could swim out where the waves are if you'd just give me a sign That what I've got here on this line is worth an exit from the brine Or am I rye chips in the chex mix only some folks seem to like I'd still be grateful for the bites, but the payroll isn't stable I can't stay full living tight Making pizza out of bagels every late meal isn't right Seeing peers that played it safer's putting hazel in my eyes Need an angel on my side But I got demons planting seeds of doubt within my mind What's the reason to aspire when the season's lost it's spice? I could be sleeping, 'stead of living bland and walking blind So when that final sandman visit comes, I'll greet him with a smile WE CAN MAKE IT IF WE TRY (I really think that we can make it) TOGETHER YOU AND I WE CAN MAKE IT IF WE TRY (I really think that we can make it) TOGETHER YOU AND I Who am I kidding? I can't make it through a day without a lapse in faith Every night I lay awake and contemplate mistakes And wasted time that slowed my haste until I stood in place Start to think I sealed my fate chasing what I chase A second wind would set me straight But I can't do shit about the weather 'cept endure it The same way I can't forsee the future, nor ensure It's not important I treat the world like it's a story, only in it for the lore It's getting deep And I can't see me anymore Just a shadow on the page A form that's been adorned with a name and a horse in this race I ignore 'cause it's more than just these games And I'd rather see us free in the plains instead of reigned Waiting for the moment where I change, it never comes Facing the opponent that remains, we are one Or maybe none Something less together than undone Riddle me not what we made, let it fade in the sun WE CAN MAKE IT IF WE TRY (I really think that we can make it) TOGETHER YOU AND I WE CAN MAKE IT IF WE TRY (I really think that we can make it) TOGETHER YOU AND I
