YAHWEH 03:33
YAHWEH I wait for your signal I wrap my head around a lot Of things to do under the sun I wear your cloth and dance your songs A man on board YAHWEH I wait for your signal Face to face and one on one A pair of shoes I never worn Has brought me this far all along To be reborn I beat your drums I speak your name I take directions that you gave Me I will like to put you in your place Because I can’t be used I can’t be bought YAHWEH I wait for your signal YAHWEH I wait for your signal I can do all things found your youth fountain Can you move me how you move mountains In my shortcomings I am long standing You took me in when I was abandoned I have been more sound just understanding my surrounding My heart’s pounding to not leave things how I found em I am outside standing 'stead of running circles around them YAHWEH I wait for your signal YAHWEH I wait for your signal YAHWEH I wait for your signal

FEEL AT HOME 02:23
Out of mind out of sight Still I stand my ground In garments of how long I took to come around My ankle stand above the sand The music scene and people in my city love to party Underground like as if I came to gist or came to joke I’ve had nothing to do here used my limits Stretched without the need to fold If your heart was cold as stone If your heart could handle business I will tell you but that’s all you need to know Have we all been walking around up on the surface When on your mind I feel at home Celebrating letting you know What was empty handed now begun to feel at home For as you see I have grown the strength Like I know your scent and if you no get friend I can be your friend I can be your friend Oi listen take good care of your mission Don’t cloud your ambition oh All my handwork isn’t just for recognition no I came through dripping all that sauce Fourth round bang that piston Mathematicians tried to match my teaching Feel at home You're not my dawg don't get salty bitching Na turn by turn time can hurt your feelings If time hurts your feelings don't go looking for me oh I’m off on torpedoes I’m not involved don’t go looking for me oh Have we all been walking around up on the surface When on your mind I feel at home Celebrating letting you know What was empty handed now begun to feel at home For as you see I have grown the strength Like I know your scent and if you no get friend I can be your friend I can be your friend Feel at home feel at home feel at home feel at home Feel at home feel at home feel at home feel at home Feel at home feel at home feel at home feel at home Feel at home feel at home feel at home feel at home

NEVER DIE 03:44
You hear me twice I have said it once You hear me twice I have said it once Now forced my efforts spring forth To bombard you with truths As I strain these hums Can’t falter the waves we lunch Waging war on daily wants Getting tired of setting fire To check for who is brave enough Rescue us from days we lost But guess who one Guess who one Man Civilized But as time goes by What shall not gree die may never die No gree die No gree die These raps i’m sugar coating on a deeper level A different devil we face out of ten I kill eleven Someone told me to skip the bullshit and move to action Stir the waters open the capsule sea food reacting They be like who even asked him always boasting in his captions If he had opinions I wonder would you back him We went back and forth as we talked about how the black man is cursed Tho he fights for rights on the cusp of survival against the cops like we doing it for the praise Would you rather debate your race in a Mercedes or a Porsche I’m proud of my growth and pace I've got piece of mind by his grace I do whatever it takes The fact I'm already great must give your pillars the shakes I see it all on your face You told me I made a lot of mistakes I regroup and correct myself As for SM ep I just had to test myself Had to relate with the time How long did it take to design Had a choice to be great or divine Like being offered grapes for the wine I'm here to correct the mistakes to your mind So I’m taking my time And if you talk shit man might take out your spine or I’ll split an adjective in half Then stick the sharp end of it's branch into your narcissism Hear me out in silence Man civilized but as time goes by What shall not gree die may never die No gree die No gree die And so I ask what shall abide On the far other side Where no one makes it out alive No gree die No gree die Usually I'm outspoken only when I'm getting therapy I share my feelings with my therapist and tell her please Don't compare me to patients who need a shrink I have been very woke now finally I get the cheese You go woke so they wonder if u ever sleep Yes I've been down in ignorance they should have never mixed Brown skin with frowns the outcome is too much arrogance How come they find him tolerant how come they find him tolerant Man civilized but as time goes by What shall not gree die may never die No gree die No gree die And so I ask what shall abide On the far other side Where no one makes it out alive No gree die No gree die Man civilized but as time goes by What has already died may never die Never die Never die

WATERSIDE 03:30
Run as far as you want work hard save wages Forget these stars tighten your affirmations and start again afresh When your feelings hurt by replies lacking a story required in text Suggesting stars brighten two separate bonds we made with place of birth You come here again with nothing to pay but something to take home This is not about your taste I've been talking to the flame As a matter of fact I could say it again but maybe a pace slow This is not about your taste I've been talking to the flame Water Carry this boat Love you anyhow Love you anyhow Water Carry this boat Love you anyhow Love you anyhow Deep in your pockets Hymn in the office Make you believe endorsements While you bleed like faucets How else do we cling to sockets Unplug from the new age horse race And trace your origins back to it's paw prints You either sheep or you puppet The matrix made this May this be the main trick that makes dis to what they is They are existential beings trapped Inside experimental dreams You don't want the answers just yet You can't acknowledge the complex nature Of your sense of self as a concept Perception is skewed and offset Water Carry this boat Love you anyhow Love you anyhow Water Carry this boat Love you anyhow Love you anyhow I’m just as lost as you are At least i'm trying to get sound The ignorance the new scar I'm trying out the next sound You can tell from how I write these How second guessed my hooks are I hope they help my vices I count and void these voices We started off debating I think I know who you are You remind me of relatives Whose D.N.A is too far I've seen you twice before now You came across my new plan I'm changing my direction This fight will leave you fubar Bank deposits check the province Double check your organs then protect your offspring Bank deposits check the province Double check your organs then protect your offspring Water Carry this boat Love you anyhow Love you anyhow Water Carry this boat Love you anyhow Love you anyhow Water Carry this boat Love you anyhow Love you anyhow
