Verse 1 I spent the last year or so Takin a good look in the mirror so Everything’s a little clearer now Gettin better at existing in the hear and now But I still got a ways to go I got a tendency to overthink I gotta take it slow I gotta realize the only thing I really know is that I don’t know And that’s more than most Kids my age Don’t really play the way we used to play And most the time we only sayin what we used to say Fuck it I’m tryin something new today And it just might include some nudity Explore the infinite potentialities Cuz every single decision alters reality And everybody’s is different and every thought is a ripple in space and time throughout the motherfuckin galaxy Whoa!! Damn I just blew my mind! You feel that shit? I just can’t believe that rhyme I killed that shit! Man I feel so alive and ain’t a minute I would trade of my whole damn life You ever think of how incredible it is That we can take something as simple as an edible and shit And all a sudden everything’s a little different than it was even though nothin really changed? Man there’s levels to this shit! Chorus I thought about what was said And what it meant to me (what it meant to me) I used to hold doubt in my head Now I just let it be I got love so I’m givin it out Life’s ups and downs got you spinnin around Everything’s a little clearer now Getting better at existing in the here and now Verse 2 I just had a conversation with my dad Probably the realest conversation that we’ve ever had And not because of what was said But because I’m in a place where I love and understand That everything he ever did was what he had to do In the place he was in with the things that he knew And if he would have known how those things would gone Then he might not have chosen the things that went wrong But the fact is we live In the moments we have And no matter the outcome We can’t change the past So as long as we use it to shape how we live All that other shit’s water under the bridge Man, we’re all just tryin to figure it out I’m tryna learn to be emotionally literate now I’m tryin to be considerate while still detaching from the outcome and livin it now Chorus I thought about what was said And what it meant to me (what it meant to me) I used to hold doubt in my head Now I just let it be I got love so I’m givin it out Life’s ups and downs got you spinnin around Everything’s a little clearer now Getting better at existing in the here and now

Verse 1 Lately I’ve been stayin up too late Tryna catch up with my moods but they fluctuate Guess I need some motivation So I subjugate myself and those around me To the sounds of my surroundings Heart is pounding I’m consumed with all this love to make And I swear I love to make it When the beat hits I’m awakened So if hearts are for the takin Let me take you on vacation To the center of my bender Where the waters are so temperate But nothing lasts forever It’s like I barely stick around Yet I’ve rarely been home The ever-present gypsy Knowmatik the soul Swear to god I thought I had it under control Or maybe that was a dream And The rest is what exists in between A fish in the stream Always caught up on a line Hopin the next thing that I scribble down Might touch the divine Usually it’s just a moment in time Rather a flow in the wind A flickered glow in the mind I don’t know where to begin It’s like I’m going it blind And yet somehow around each corner There’s a glimmerin shine That makes me push a little harder Baby show me a sign Or at least some kind of order Before I leave it behind Bridge You held my hand You showed you love me And understand Chorus Thanks for lifting me up Holding it down For rising above For sticking around For showing me love For showing me love Verse 2 Now it's two steps forward and another one back 3 sheets to the winds Without a plan of attack So what’s a brick to a mortar We gone see about that Really though whatever life can through at me, I’m throwing it back It’s just a day in the life (Better yet a) walk in the park (Bring it back) I’m like an alcoholic this a shot in the dark (Give it up) you thought I was finished (Keep it up) I ain’t even start (Follow me now) Kinda hard to call it When it ain’t even charged So can it be vanity causin all this calamity Had to be something bigger I figure it’s just humanity Family all concerned by the gravity of my sanity Eventually Ima learn but today it’s just my reality Catch me on the balance beam of justice screaming cusses Bring the ruckus I got something here for all ya mother's cousins It’s just a family affair And if your feelin how I’m feelin put your hands in the air And sing something like Bridge You held my hand You showed you love me And understand I’ll always hold you closely I’m a troubled man And still you love me And understand Chorus Thanks for lifting me up Holding it down For rising above For sticking around For showing me love For showing me love

See when I concentrate I break my focus Makes more sense when I just let it flow I always lose the things I hold the closest You’d think that if be better at just lettin go But I’ll never loosen my grip I been to hell and came back Said I ain’t losin to this The mind can take a fool for a trip I’ve been a fool for the cream Tryna be cool in the whip And I can honestly say Ain’t no praying for tomorrow when you’re dying today Nah, I can honestly say Ain’t no praying for tomorrow when you’re dying today But I came back stronger I can’t wait much longer I’m gone take what’s mine now I’m gone make it shine now Soldiers falling all around like we at bloody war Ain’t nobody pay for what you study for My homie’s doin a bid and now he’s losing his kids Cuz he love his family but his money more shit Had to lose a lot to gain a little knowledge Learned the most when I had none to lose Sold my soul to earn a couple dollars Along the way I lost a couple screws Cuz the wrong way that’s a long way down But things are finally lookin up I’ma let the song play out I’ma let that song play through Keep that long way view And when I see you up in heaven we gone rendezvous But for now I’m kickin up dust Puttin my trust in the wind Lookin fear in the eye This one’s for me and my kin This one’s for everybody watchin me and prayin I win So when they see me on the tv they like there go my friend It’s hard to realize at first aint it How permanent our actions really are As much as we resurface and repaint it This life just has a way of leavin scars I remember bein out when it was rainin And Johnny’s mom would let me sleep out in her car I remember having dreams of bein famous Way before I had my first drink at the bar I had so many damn resentments bottled up inside Rather wallow in my sorrow than to swallow pride I remember how it felt the day tomorrow died When I got off the beaten path and chose to follow mine So picture me rollin conquer waterfalls and oceans Paradise lost A paradigm for mixed emotions On my Bob Ross these happy trees have got me open livin fantasies No gravity it’s like I’m floatin through the canopy’s of Oakland with no plans to leave No not for long at least Economy been on the rise from potent ganjah seeds Open minds can open eyes to what’s been hard to see We went from starved to eatin time to feed this artistry Yeah Cuz it’s always been a part of me Yeah That’s why I came back stronger I can’t wait much longer I’m gone take what’s mine now I’m gone make it shine now
