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

Trader by Day
04:08
|
|||
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)

Let's go!
Shit is so amazing
Just gimme the plug, girl
That’s all I want from you, girl
I just wanna be able to stick my extension cord in your light socket, girl
C’mon now
And gimme the motherfucking plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
(Why don’t you) Gimme the plug, plug!
(Why don’t you) Gimme the plug, plug!
(Why don’t you) Gimme the plug, plug!
(Why don’t you) Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
(Why don’t you) Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
I don’t dress up like a thug, but I’ll scuffle if I gotta
Notice how you’re not alone when push comes to shove
I love the way you hit the angles and play around
Like you’re down to just stay around
Bouncer in the house, ah, we won’t even make a sound
Cuz it’s a downtime fling, tell me what you think
I’mma take a swing, I’mma guess you’re lingering
Feel that soft tingle
I can see you’re crushing on me harder than a diamond ring
I don’t mingle with your crowd a lot
But I’m not not gonna talk shop and chop it up with thots with thoughts
I’ll do whatever I can
I’m a renaissance man
Drop your plans, send them up into the stands, Chuck Knoblauch
Talking like a bad girl
Looking like a hotshot
You dominate the scene
And it seems so effortlessly clean
I mean
We got machines and we got Disney queens
Toe the line you give me something in between, well could ya
Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
(Why don’t you) Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug, plug!
Gimme the plug!
Gimme the plug!
Gimme the plug!
Gimme the plug!
Gimme the plug!
Gimme the plug!
Gimme the plug!
Gimme the plug!
Your love is a drug and I’m a assoholic
Go through withdrawals, in my bones I hear your body calling
On FaceTime, just wanted to say hi
Your waistline more addictive than the white line
Akiba
Akeela
I love sluts
I need hoes
But something in my soul say don’t go near it
Shit, I’m lying I be fuckin’ bitches' whole spirits
Shank some, your soul mine
Diggin’ it, a gold mine
Ooh I hit the jackpot, grab my camera
Take a snapshot of her fat twat
I did it for the have-nots
I did it for the have-alls
I hit it at the last call
Ass like a fastball
I slammed it like Zion
Left her on the side of the road in a Scion
Cause bitches ain’t shit and I’m worse, word to Nate Dogg
I’m zoning out
I’m zoning out
You’re ugly, although your smile is not
Unlike the others’
But I don’t care I’m not your lot
And I’ve got bad manners
Who cares what you are, who cares what you think
Except your mother
I cannot notice you’re more than what’s seen
Why should I bother?

Say You're Sorry
02:40
|

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

Point of No Return
03:15

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

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

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

Friday Freestyle

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

One, two, one, two
One, two, one, two
Brush off, brush it off, brush it off
Another tough loss, tough loss, brush it off
Fucking soft piece of cloth, you’re the reason
We can’t even take a reasoned look
At crooks’ malfeasance
The treason of all treasons
That even exist, cease and desist, piss off
You’re not worth breathing
One, two, one, two
Open book, Sun Tzu
Take a look at who matters to you
Annals of history
What you put on your tombstone
That shit gets flown forever
Shown forever
So sever ties and neutralize
Your joy’s not for long
You are giving in
To evil spirits by your side
They will offer you
What’s better than what you love
You’ll let evil spirits in
They’ll dance in the rain
Of your tears and blood
And make out on your children’s hearts
And like an ancient prince
While you celebrate
You will be weighed and found wanting
And as the body rots, the scavengers plot
You will be weighed and found wanting
Wanting
Oh yeah
One, two, one, two
Body count, I run through it
Intuit nothing
Nothing doing
Too intoxicated to be logic-based
And face the facts
And face the music
Put your face into the mirror
Stare into it, I dare you to do it
You coward, you sucker
Morality’s fluid
You big up the big-ups and pick up the scraps, there's no luck to it
Ride out

Why am I always dark?

General Sherman, bring the fog in
No straight sell-outs and fashion blogging
Another rapper out here mobbing
What a god damn bore, attention hogging
Get it, boar, attention hogging
If you’re logging off soon, better save a couple tabs
If you’re nodding off soon, better throw a couple jabs
If the spot’s on you, better hit a couple dabs
Yeah
Bring the fog in
You won’t see me wine like the Okanagan
You were doing fine, had a little bit of shine
And then it’s all downhill like a god damn toboggan
Clogging up your arteries daily
And master the art of being a part of a pie chart
Except it’s an actual pie, butter tart
Gutterball, restart? Ah, maybe, aviators on
(Oh) we’re flying
(Oh) we’re flying

Looking the sky in the eye
