A New Plant 03:36
I'm at a loss, at a loss Welcome along, come along I'm at a loss, at a loss Welcome along, come along New plant Time for a show Time to grow A new plant in me Welcome to the stars Reporting live from afar Remote-control rovers are roaming on Mars And you won’t let your girl to the bar And she won’t let you smoke a damn cigar That’s par for the course You’re headed for divorce As the door’s been left ajar For a brand new czar Scars from the past ain’t healed up yet They tell you live for the moment, no wonder why we feel upset Get the troops out of the Stans it’s a damn scam They treat your man like a pawn The war goes on, another town killed Outrage for Patreon’s 30 mill, Raytheon’s 30 bill Dirty bucks, boat runs, homeless mom no funds Living out a contradiction, dissonance in cognition Slaughterhouses hidden from the public drugs, private prisons Thugs flying Boeing jets, algorithms sow division, reinforced derision Political schisms, and all you care about is calling out an ism We see it from a new prism, we’re no victims to mysticism We found a new slant to plant a new plant A chance to get advanced, a chance to get your mind enhanced You wanna be a hero? Don’t try to be a hero Zero in on what you need to get, new plant pirouette Time for a show Time to grow A new plant in me Time for a show Time to grow A new plant in meW

King 04:09
Take a seat, take a bow On your knees, do it now Put your feet on the ground (Who’s the leader of this town?) Don’t you see I’ve got the crown On my head, colored red Who’s the clown now? Graffiti, take it down Those dissenters make a sound? Shoot ‘em dead (And put the bodies in the shed?) Yeah, get it done without a sound Don’t let the rumors spread around and around Keep it cool, like I said Break the rules, make it tight (Only fools be acting right) Yeah that’s exactly what I’m getting at (Ok) make a plan See it through (cause I’m the) man (I’m the) message in the sand (I’m the) bee (I’m the) sting (I’m the) king So don’t you worry about a thing I got entertainers here to blow their brains out in the ring I got stacks that’ll make you back down to your knees, designer bling That’s always seasonal, artisanal, got fashion on a string And I bring together all the best, by extension I’m the best And don’t complain about it, I’m the one who pays the check You’re the one who pays respect, takes a bow and genuflects Meanwhile I sit atop the throne where war and greatness intersect Ohh, a house that’s fit for a king A suit that’s fit for a king An entourage that’s fit for a king (All we want baby is everything) Handsome in a fur coat, dishing out quotes On the gram (is it real or just a scam?) Nah it’s both, counting votes from the land All that hope is in my hands (Cause I’m the) man, (I’m the) master in command And I’ll pander to you moments later you’ll capitulate to my demands On the low, yo (whoa) Voice of reason that’s a no-no Keep it up and you just might go missing like the dodo Don’t tell me about nuffin I ain’t bluffing puffing on Cohibas Stuffing my fluffy pillow with eagle feathers Or some exotic shit like that A bit of class, dish of bass fish with a swish of sassafras Blast off on top of the world, island hopping Dropping dollars offshore Lock it in, the profit’s off the chain I’m a game-changer in danger of endangering your life One slice from a knife They say those who have the power will do anything in their power to keep it That’s just human nature I guess that’s just human nature I am the king I am the king I am the king I am the king I am the king I am the king

Cinnamon scented candles, 100 bucks a pop Coffeemakers, tanktops, gumdrops Everyone stops to say hi, and may find a more comfortable method you can pay by Aye aye aye, I try not to stay tied down, on to the next riverside town Fly around in a mid sized minimally stylized van With a couple black windows in the back, man I got your fresh deals, the hottest new collection Tastes abound like traffic I be in the center of the intersection Inspecting, new connections flexing profit I’m on the road to the riches, ain’t no one can knock me off it I feel I see I feel I see I feel (That something isn’t right) I see (Everybody in a new light) I feel (Electric in the night, I’m a trader by day so get out of my way) I feel (That something isn’t right) I see (Everybody in a new light) I feel (Electric in the night, I’m a trader by day so get out of my way) I feel (That something ain’t right) I see (Everybody in a new light) I feel (Electricity in the night, I’m a trader by day so get out of my way) (When I’ve) followed All the dark roads I know I can light my child’s road Breath out No signs of anxiety That he just might see I feel I see I feel I see I feel (That something isn’t right) I see (Everybody in a new light) I feel (Electric in the night, I’m a trader by day so get out of my way) I feel (That something isn’t right) I see (Everybody in a new light) I feel (Electric in the night, I’m a trader by day so get out of my way)

Another day another dream, another underage hype team, Nicotine smoking, lungs open, tongues sticking out Telling jokes on a weekend out One more toke could put us all in the green Now I’m looking like a money machine Between selfies your health dwindles, dropped kindles Unpopped pimples you told me it would all be simple Though you say you’re sorry It don’t matter anymore We found this state in a hurry And it’s too late, it’s too late Another day another dream, living out a meme All her facts and all her feelings from a live stream All the ups and downs he experiences she reciprocates Simulates and she relates kind of But in reality she’s confabulating most of it Post a pic and follow every single notific Who likes who I’ve been looking for somebody like you In this electronic wasteland, a warm pulse In a space where algorithms run wild And I don’t understand how anything works We talk about humans, we know we’re all social We give them a device that controls and promotes that Then we blame them when they can’t stop logging in Can’t stop blogging for a day Think about it, that’s double-speak plain and simple Kids just act, man, they don’t look back, man They don’t see their place in history If they read mystery chapter books Have to look at the last page Because they can just access whatever they want at the press of a button And you say you’re sorry but it don’t mean nothing Though you say you’re sorry It don’t matter anymore We found this state in a hurry And it’s too late, it’s too late

It's not the end of the world It's the end of your world It's not the end of the world It's just the end of your world Of your world Of your world Last stop on the skytrain passed by Who’s left in the backseat that’s me Another day another dream Another faked-out scheme get capital gains to engage with the interface space and it ain’t what it seem Got the theme song playing in the background Sound to distract from the fact that we’re all D-double-O-med Everyone you know’s dead but you signed up for it And escape now’s like tryna floor it in a damn moped, not happening Six months can’t blame the kid, no 36 months old wow, first memories First enemies too, asks if anything’s true Which he does and he looks how it was before and before and it’s 404 Point of no return Point of no return Point of no return Snap out of it kid, snap out of it You’re too blessed to be feeling this distressed Can’t leave rap alone, the game needs you, no Can’t leave life alone, the world needs you Can I depend on the people I see? Knowing that I hope that they ain’t depending on me Can I be Mr. Always Carefree? Shout-out to Adam Bomb, Jay-Z for words that have shaped me, made me And maybe one day we’ll just wake up And not care what lies on the way out Play out program, exit through the gift shop No more exhibitions, no more treks and missions We’ll all go fishing It's not the end of the world It's the end of your world It's not the end of the world It's just the end of your world

Existenchill 04:16
Young kid, only child, all-boys prep school graduated Set his sights high academic stud and Applied them to women he would date with Time ticks and he doesn’t see chicks, and friends get to bragging Get the bag and just bag them, easy as 1-2 You could have one too, I guess you’re just lagging And every damn rejection is a poisonous injection to the psyche The more they say that all it took was a connection Yeah the more it gets him thinking what it might be Can’t fault yourself, gotta blame outwards Girls only want douchebags and cowards 100 miles an hour Benz driving show-offs Prom kings who care about the wrong things And then he sees media Educated people meeting up, sharing they experience Smart dudes talking that shit, and a hundred more hop up in the comment section Anecdotes and quotes to back it up They didn’t get the mentions, XX attention just like me Slighted by short-sighted girls just like me It all makes perfect sense logically Even if we are inconsequential We are tied together and existential Even if we are inconsequential We are tied together and existential Young girl, growing up self-motivated Doing what she can to self-develop Surrounded by counterfeits and blowhards None of them respect her All they care about is getting nectar Role models all women, friends all women Instagram dedication Wednesday only She stays lonely, complaining about why do men suck Why do I have be stuck with a phony Paths cross, they look up from their gadgets They understand that agitation comes from isolation Back then, remember we were 5, 6 Nothing stood between us we played around the driveway I understand what you’ve been going through And how they didn’t want us to be integrated Bright days ahead, red lights behind Exist and chill, resist design Even if we are inconsequential We are tied together and existential Even if we are inconsequential We are tied together and existential Even if we are inconsequential We are tied together and existential Even if we are inconsequential We are tied together and existential

Off the Grid 08:04
Yeah! Fuck it! Suck it! Suck it up! I got a ticket to fly Without saying goodbye Without saying goodbye I got a ticket to fly Eject myself from the endless replies Without saying goodbye Without saying goodbye Ready for launch, faux imitators ain’t able to match You hitting the gym, you trimming the fat I’m stuffing my face with another croissant I know what you want, I know what you need Been stuck in the weeds like you’re mowing the lawn Just give me industrial 7’s and 8’s And I ride on the beat like a fucking savant So tell me (Why) is it that you’ve been out of touch (Are) you just counting your days? Cause I know that (We) are gestalt when we’re gathered together right (Here) at the summit and never gon plummet Or dumb it down, damn it, gotta dumb it down Just a little bit, fiddle with some tricks Intercontinental conversations on the daily Alien is not a word in my vocabulary No sanitary fluff I’m already woke, thank you very much I don’t shoot in the first three quarters I rather come through in the clutch No flubbing, figures in politics just been rubbing Us the wrong way, nothing of it Hypocrites claim to be cooking, I love it Roast turkey, dutch oven I got a ticket to fly Without saying goodbye Without saying goodbye I got a ticket to fly Eject myself from the endless replies Without saying goodbye Without saying goodbye You want to get off of the grid Cell phone on lock Ain’t talking to no one Alone in my spot We’ve always been taught to just (Suck it up) You want to get off of the map? (Yeah) Key in ignition and fuck it Energy bottled up, we’re an anonymous kind Curious kids, toppling off of the grid I got a ticket to fly Without saying goodbye Without saying goodbye I got a ticket to fly Eject myself from the endless replies Without saying goodbye Without saying goodbye You want to get off of the grid Cell phone on lock Ain’t talking to no one Alone in my spot We’ve always been taught to (Suck it up) You want to get off of the map?

Walking home from work, walking down the street Remember that at home I got nothing to eat So I double-check my wallet and I pop into the shop Grab my little basket, ready to rock I look around the place, perusing through the aisles So many different fruits in so many different styles I’m tryna get the tastiest, the ripest, the sweetest I pick out a couple of the juiciest peaches Hmm what next, I’m kinda perplexed Stall for a minute, reply to a text Then I come back to earth, remember that old adage You won’t succeed in life without a little bit of cabbage So I head on to the deli, couple hundred grams Could I get a little pink капуста me gusta Last stop I need some different food groups And what better than pre-made soup Ok on to the till, at this point I’m cruisin’ Cashier looks at me she asks, "Пакет нужен?" I say no, no I don’t need a bag I’ve got a backpack to save on that environmental price tag There’s me justifying my response As I stuff the items in my backpack all at once Zip it up, and then it’s off to the road Open the door, then the whole world starts to explode Cause this girl’s sitting on a bench, eyes looking into me Smiling like, well I’m not so good at similes But smiling well, and I could tell that we were meant to be Together I said wanna take a walk and she said yes forever We wandered round and came across a grassy hill Which we rolled all the way down, like Jack and Jill Lying face to face she asks, "What’s your favorite book?" I said, "It’s in my bag! Why don’t you take a look?" Then she opens up my bag and all the smells come flying Squished peach juice, the cabbage smelled like it was dying Her hands got all sticky and her face was like jello There was soup all on the pages of my book, it turned yellow She said, "What kind of human puts a book that he adores In a backpack with soup, and cabbage and peaches poorly stored? Well, not the man I want to be with" She got up and left, and I sat there sheepish Trod home like man, she was the love of my life Key in the door, turn on the lights She could have been the one, I’m in such a sad mood Open up the fridge - goddamn it, there’s no food

Never Leave 04:19
Wait, the sun is burning you Wait, the sun is burning you You’d never leave You’d never leave, you’d say Never leave, you told a child She said it’s only for the night, gotta run Love to stay but I don’t know what I could say to your son A one of kind girl, who really knows how to pick ‘em Too smart and strong in herself to the play the victim She grew up fast just like you’re supposed to Learned to keep her friends close and her enemies closer Poster of Mac Miller on the wall, number one fan Wakes up in the morning, damn Years spent in hating you Years spent in missing you You’d never leave You’d never leave, you’d say Never leave, you told me Never leave, you told a child Never say die Would’ve been, could’ve been, should’ve been there She took a man out thinking it would pan out She demands out for sanity but always something That’ll leave her wanting more, headed out the door Pot-committed like never before, bust that paradigm Captain in a maritime war You turn the wheel and you learn to feel tough There’s nothing you could tell anymore Don’t sell me war, don’t sell me hope that’ll rope me in, though Another fucking star jumps out the window How could we let it slide? Growing up I woulda gave it all to be Robin Williams Then he fucking died Could’ve been, should’ve been there Now “Best Day Ever” is like worst-ever nightmare Another flight of stares, put the blinders on Shake the thoughts away, never did wrong You know that you love him then find out he didn’t You know there’s no way to go back to beginning Then the strain just never leaves Years of hating you Years of missing you You told me, you said Never leave
