lyrics

TONE:
There’s a chance it’s bigger than me /
And I might beat up /
Better get it right, Dim the lights; figuratively roll the sleeves up /
Read up, take notes, legal pad, sad and redacted /
Information pumping through veins:
Gladly distracted /
Had me mad and contracted, conflicted and spinning /
Reefer madness eyes popped, copped addicted and grinning /
Blitted and sinning, gritted the teeth, with a winning smile /
A few gaps, but a lapse can run laps in an 8 minute mile /
Forget raps and gimmick styles, this is zen preach time /
Don’t study wheelchair jimmy and use “yea” to end each line /
Yea./
I use my shortcomings to keep time /
It’s a job that’s thankless /
And I stay anxious to rewind /
Always rhyming for answers /
But questions are more yet: /
The past is a map, not a straight line to your freaking door step /
I’m keeping the floor swept, the room is dimly lit /
it’s bigger than us and we’re looked in this box in which we fit.

There's a chance it's bigger than me /
And I might get beat up /
Better get it right /
Dim the lights /
Figuratively roll the sleeves up /
Read up, take notes, legal pad sad and redacted /
information pumping through veins /
gladly distracted /
Had me, mad and contracted - conflicted and spinning /
Refer mad, eyes popped /
slit, addicted and grinning /
blotted and sinning / gritted the teeth with a wining smile /
a few gaps, but a laps, can run run laps in an 8 minute mile /
Forget raps and gimmick style /
this is Zen preach time /
Don't study wheel chair Jimmy /
and 'Yeah' at the end of each line /
"Yeah" /
I use my short coming to keep time /
It's a job that's thankless /
And I stay anxious to rewind /
Always be rhyming for answers /
But questions are more yet /
The past is a map /
not a straight line to your freaking' door step /
I'm keeping the floor swept /
And the room is dimly lit /
It's bigger than us /
And we're locked in this box in which we fit

Shut:
Yet, I love the box I chills in /
Planet of the children /
No one has the answers so my mans and them keep building /
Building tolerance in this box in which we fit /
I don't fear death /
When the box is all there is /

Just let it hit me like /
Like. hit me like /

1,000 yard head shot /
Kennedy the seats /
(or) bludgeon with a hammer /
Leave me center of the street /
So my enemies can feast /
And cheer upon the victory of mentoring defeat /
86 me - I was born there /
Die slow, time tortures /
hair pin trigger, itchy index, get me cross haired /
I'll do it to myself like an author /
Write about my dutch's 'til I'm drinking with Geoffrey Chaucer /
Give my son the coffer /
Save the pulpit /
Stick this pauper in the coffin /
Kill the bullshit /
Same with your philosophy /
Just plant a tree on top of me /
I'll enrich the soil /
Just make sure you stake it properly /
What's life? What's death? yo, what's new? /
When I can't breathe /
baby, let me turn blue /
Let me loose /
And finally let the legend work /
Foundation underground until I'm turned back to dirt.
