Clench To Stay Awake
03:18
|

here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate
no issues to speak upon
as I trust in my strong will
I’ve made it many times before
and I can get through it again
control myself enough
to make it through the plane
to make it through the pain
how does this pain start
I can clench away
here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate
tell me that I’ve gotta clench to stay awake
tell me that I’ve gotta clench the pain away
here comes the pain, I can blow it away
find a way to cope for another day
sharp pain coming on, I’m blacked out
next time it comes, I’m not gonna back out
run to the back, find a place to lie down
get on my back, hope the pain will die down
ashamed of my mind
ashamed of my body
from now on I’m in control
but can I keep it all up
here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate
it’s a struggle of the mind
cause and effect upon my body
it will no longer take over
as long as my will is good
not another day
where I clench to stay awake
not another day
where trauma becomes my fate

A Struggle
03:40

spider-webs on my steering wheel
sometimes I’m barely alive
what else can you fuck up
what else can I fuck up
I let the eight legged drive
push to hard and you’ll get pushed back
I still cringe at my reflection
as I push everyone away
what’s the word? / what’s the word?
what’s the word? / what’s the word?
my word is dirt to them
nothing else I can say
a struggle is what you make it
a struggle, if you wanna call it that
hate to burst that bubble, but it is that
if you think, for a second now
I’ll shift my gears
then you’re dead wrong (x2)
not that it really matters
what you do anymore
cause my word is so strong
until the day goes by
all I could do was, offer on the fly
if you got an issue I could duke it out
sometimes I feel like this is done for clout
a struggle, if you wanna call it that
hate to burst that bubble, but it is that
if you think, for a second now
I’ll shift my gears
then you’re dead wrong
spider-webs on my steering wheel
sometimes I’m barely alive
what else can you fuck up
what else can I fuck up
I let the eight legged drive
push to hard and you’ll get pushed back
I still cringe at my reflection
as I push everyone away
what’s the word? / what’s the word?
what’s the word? / what’s the word?
my word is dirt to them
nothing else I can say
a struggle is what you make it
not that it really matters
what you do anymore
cause my word is so strong
until the day goes by
all I could do was, offer on the fly
if you got an issue I could duke it out
sometimes I feel like this is done for clout

Sneaky Devil

I’ve got something for you
can you tell me more?
yeah come on in
when you come in close the door
i’m just sick and fucked up
about what’s been going on
all these bastard ass fuck goblins
shitting on my lawn
pseudo street persona
grovel to your owner
glad i don’t know you
that embarassing shit that you do
hit me with the goosebumps
i sit and laugh at your crew
but i’m sure it ain’t that funny to you
i don’t give a fuck
i just stay in the crease
mind my own business
until i need a release
i’m sick of old white men
sick of terms and conditions
sick of politicans
sick of carbon footprints
sick of tradition
sick of public submission
sick of all these bitch made vultures
never asking permission
sick of racism coming straight out the system
and everywhere else
I’ve got something for you
can you tell me more?
yeah come on in
when you come in close the door
i’m just sick and fucked up
about what’s been going on
all these bastard ass fuck goblins
shitting on my lawn
x2
i don’t care if i get copied
cause wen i was your age
i would maybe get sloppy
but i didn’t take it quite to that level
catch you acting like a sneaky lil devil
it gets testy when you take it too far
calling my family from a town out far
fuck you kid, now i have your address
and in a second i could put your racist ass to bed
just shut the fuck up and go with the flow
i’m sure i’ll be running into your ass at the next show
it’ll get nice and awkward when you see me
give you a real overdose of the VV
shout out to wharfwit on the track!

A Fool's Expedition
03:09
|

suck it up you weak ass fuck
take a hard look
you’ve always been weak as fuck
punching holes in walls
such a bitch move
talking to yourself like you’ve got
something to prove
if you could really step outside yourself for one day
then maybe you could see your own selfish ass ways
in a nutshell, what’s your self worth
mistreating others like dirt
tell me what you do, not where you’ve been
what kind of love you give in the moment
what’s your record
it sounds like a broken one
promising that you’ll do better
master up-setter, thinking I’m a tone setter
focus on some real shit
focus on the small shit
focus on the shit that really matters
before the paint splatters
then you’re really in trouble
Chapters aren’t meant to last forever
turn the page, climb the latter
don’t let issues, get fatter
memories fade, can’t forget
who I am, how I was bred
like a dog shock collar
money lost, top dollar
feed the system, getting fatter
social issues climb the latter
mirror falls, glass shatter
yeah it hurts, yes it matters
it’s been awhile now
thinking that I can fight now
tired of seeing them cry now
its time to say goodbye now
now

it about started when I saw that ampm truck
swerving to a nightmare
and I almost got us fucked
shouldn’t of been dozing
but I pushed myself too hard
I thought I knew better yeah
but I took it too far
x2
fate gave me a chance
now a couple chances
hands always on the wheel
I thought I really had this
this is a struggle, a struggle of survival
life is not a toy, and i should know this spiral
don’t fall asleep
I am not invincible
could’ve been worse
could’ve been a death toll
I cant fall asleep at the wheel x4
it about started when I saw that ampm truck
swerving to a nightmare
and I almost got us fucked
shouldn’t of been dozing
but I pushed myself too hard
I thought I knew better yeah
but i took it too far
atlanta to florida
that’s the last time
that’s the last time
it about started when I saw that ampm truck
swerving to a nightmare
and I almost got us fucked
shouldn’t of been dozing
but I pushed myself too hard
I thought I knew better yeah
but I took it too far

Hit Eject

they sell poison so they can sell pills
I hit the road a lot so I can pay bills
some people shoot a lot and some people kill
some of you deserve to die but probably never will
they sell poison so they can sell pills
I hit the road a lot so I can pay bills
some people shoot a lot and some people kill
some of you deserve to die but probably never will
x2
some of you deserve to die but probably never will
they sell poison so they can sell pills
some of you deserve to die but probably never will
listened to a lot of stupid people
cause I was raised to show respect
your airplane was all out of gas so I
had to hit eject
but that’s not my problem, that’s yours
one less problem, that’s a high score
I just want knowledge, no reward
we hit the bulls-eye while you hit the floor
they sell poison so they can sell pills
I hit the road a lot so I can pay bills
some people shoot a lot and some people kill
some of you deserve to die but probably never will
x2
some of you deserve to die but probably never will
I’m usually pretty kind to a sketchy motherfucker
but if it gets touchy then I’m out there on the double
you’re the one that’s being so tricky not me
overboard dude, so fucking messy
but that’s not my problem, that’s yours
one less problem, that’s a high score
I just want knowledge, no reward
we hit the bulls-eye while you hit the floor

king of cutting corners
yeah I’m the king of cutting corners
always been
always trying to make things shorter
I’m the king of cutting corners
x2
say you got a system
well then let’s see how it works
cause nothing works better
than my main method baby
my main method
always the first one done
last one to start
cutting life’s corners
right at the heart
king of cutting corners
yeah I’m the king of cutting corners
always been
always trying to make things shorter
I’m the king of cutting corners
x2
you can catch me flipping quarters
before my work is done
you can catch me taking orders
but my ears are gone
a system not followed
teaching not swallowed
self pity in a sense
self inflicted reference
x2

I’m just another fucking american addict
taking stabs at the light
feeling like I can grab it
I see you sucking on nostalgias cock
so I break in through the back
like I forgot how to knock
standing up wobbly
piss the spit off the toilet seat
you get what you give
used to give a lot of shit for free
I’ve got a big gulp, full of defects
but I’m the real thing and you’re a bounced check
bounced checks always end up in the trash
I can flip on a dime
fuck up my whole image
get a new paint job, a brand new finish
just to snuggle up with the right kind of people
find me all set up with the right kind of people
but this is not the case
nor would I consider this
put my spirit on a hold
to join the fucking circus
just to snuggle up with the right kind of people
find me all set up with the right kind of people
x2
snakes in the grass try'na bite me.
I'm smiling back at em slightly impolitely
I'm a lover not a fighter but I will bark at a biter
and I don't care if they don't like me.
I'm one of those
grown ass children smiling through my crying,
parents slowly dying. I pay half the bills and keep shining, back to grinding.
we don't get to have nice things for very long.
I came out to your city, got a bag and went home.
he saw I was a star, he said he could get me far
then my hard work paid for his new car
while I was still
living with my mom's off credit cards.
I said 'come out to my show' he said 'nah.'
well, well, well... what a typical story.
zero-sum lifestyle. so corny.
it's a new day. good morning.
can't follow some lane that ain't for me.

it’s good to be a low rider slug
someone that you can really really trust
someone that you can really run with
someone that you can hardly fuck with
it’s good to be a low rider slug
taking time, giving love
taking mine, but just enough
sometimes I need some actual space
okay, yea fosure*
lowrider slug, born with this face
if you need any help*
it’s so perfect, so full of grace
beautiful*
buried underneath
by a bunch of fucking crusty leaves
is the nicest fucking slug
you’ll ever get to meet
sometimes i slap myself in the face
sometimes it puts me back in my place
it’s good to be a lowrider slug
messy life, we’ll stay in touch
working hard, without a crutch
yeah
it’s good to be a lowrider slug
I’m not the best, I’m not the worst
always gone, I’ve got a thirst
yeah
yeah
yeah
it’s good to be a lowrider slug
someone that you can really really trust
someone that you can really run with
someone that you can really hardly fuck with
it’s good to be a lowrider slug
someone that you can really really trust
someone that you can really run with
someone that you can really hardly fuck with
sometimes I need some actual space
yea, and I respect that*
lowrider slug, born with this face
incredible*
it’s so perfect, so full of grace
incredible*
buried underneath
by a bunch of fucking crusty leaves
is the nicest fucking slug
you’ll ever get to meet
sometimes i slap myself in the face
sometimes it puts me back in my place

Please, Fuck Off
02:17
|
|||
hit that light switch
I can see your face now
make you get fucking lost
ain’t no sacred cow
imagine life, like
thinking you’re a boss
selfish little bitch
you ain’t no fucking loss
life for me, is never for the rewards
all this suck dickin’s got me fucking bored
even your grandma’s dying to be adored
you play that blame game
lame like henry ford
I’m past the point of giving chances
I don’t got the space for that
it’s about time I look out for myself
so it’s fuck you if you’re gonna be a rat
congratulations
you made it to the end of the song
just a few more seconds now
it wont be long
counting down the seconds
counting down the hours
until you zip that fucking lip
until you hit the showers
my youth is asleep
or maybe I’m the one snoozing
back in the day I’d be asking for that real bruising
making music for a bunch of people that don’t care
I feel empty with that pointless tired fanfare
Please, fuck off
