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

suture self II

(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
