(Cut out my anger)
Cut out all that I believe, that hole in me, My friend.
You would call me
Your voice would float through the trees
(Cut out my anger)
You’d talk of your needs
(Cut out my)
And I’d listen, for remnants of me
(Cut out my anger)
And when you’d call me, your voice would ease
All the pain I feel, (Cut out my anger,) On me
So I, hide from the thieves
There Wandering eyes, hungry hearts that need pain to lead
Oh yeah, come to a place where everything’s everything

A man bled out this morning I’m the antecedent
This, was not the first time I fell in my arms
The pain of being pure again, walking home at 4am. Hours to go before it ends,
It’s hella dark, and I can’t avoid the heat
2 train’s hella long, too high to sleep, my crooked bones
You’re screaming and cursing, I’m smiling, you’re killing me.
Is anybody really up for this one
If I don’t hold nothing back
Is anybody up for this one
I know that, you never ask.
A beast from the southern coast, A beast from the southern
Last night I looked at you I knew I didn’t really fear that much
I lie for a living now that’s why I really can’t tell you stuff
The way that we all know how it’s all gonna end I hate america
I just wait for my horses now x2
To have a life you love but know you’re undeserving,
Last night I got so fucked up near lost my job
It’s nice to think that folks are near, waking up was hard this year
But if I didn’t move the way I did then tell me how else could be.
Could I be?
Could I be?
I came w/ a mouth full of blood,
Im hurt cuz no one can see me
Don’t ask, why dont I
Want to give you solace
Tie me up

Aye bruh Aye bruh Aye bruh look I’m the mac
And that was way before I dipped the ziggy in the Ac
See that was back when I was doing harlem nights with 20 racks
They call me hershey cos the money always come in relays we on track
I’ve relapsed
I told my girl that I was working that’s a lie I’m in the trap
Told my momma I was savin’ fuck I spent that shit on wax
Told my friends I couldn’t make it they don’t know I got the bag (sheesh)
I, I know most people gonna say what they wanna say
Most people gonna smoke what they wanna smoke
And others, they don’t care about no other things
And sometimes, it’s hard to tell exactly where I wanna go
I know it dont show X2
And I can’t even lift my hands up,
that’s what we dance for lawd, I’m going in
And right when I get all my hopes up, something explodes lord
I never win
Hold on Hold on Hold on yes I’m the man
Walked across the street the other day to get a gram
Came back to the trap and smoked that shit w/ my old man
He told me that I’m hardest nigga out since sam I am
I know everybody back here in my block even the hoes know
Smoking in the lot they say that’s cox he love the trees bro
I’ve man in the corner landing jets I call him heathrow
Dripping since a youngin i been eating since a teen bro
I, I know most people gonna say what they wanna say
Most people gonna smoke what they wanna smoke
And others, they don’t care about no other things
And sometimes, it’s hard to tell exactly where I wanna go
I know it don’t show X2
And I can’t even lift my hands up,
that’s what we dance for lawd, I’m going in
And right when I get all my hopes up, something explodes lord
I never win
You can’t touch me, I been buried alive by the devil that’s in them hills
You can’t help me, I know it’s wrong but the devil, is in them hills
No chance
And you tell me, that it’s all a lie I know
Is he holy? all i know is that he’s going to find me.

Berlin City where I saw the finer things
Candy lip I swear she taste like Tangerine
Throw a rack on baby wrist so she the ting
Broke ass nigga but I got versace dreams, does it lean
I hit a lit bruh, I can’t afford ya, why we afraid love they don’t believe ya
When I was sidelined, no one believed me
But now I got posters, lil baby neck gleaming
That aint a snack, lil baby a meal
I rent out the lear, would take you a year
See im in berlin, and I’m sitting sideways
Don’t you come up out the crib if you aint strange babe
You gon’ miss the wave babe
Yahhhh babe yaahh babe
You dont leave the crib you’ll miss the strange wave
That’s what I think babe
Broke ass nigga but I got versace dreams.
I got the Billie here in my jeans
I hit the button for wetter things
Put that on seven I still believe
Draped in Versace im kerosine
Put that on Clapton my niggas Cream
Cash rule the world so I gotta beam
Ultra light mommy from Medellin
They call me chapo I got the beans.
Jetton’ stateside for the kickback
meet ya daddy momma cousin all that
Make a quick pit stop get get my brick back
Put that on my momma we don’t slip back.
Don’t send your bitch to a god
Buss it down right on my cross.
And if she don’t leave the crib she’ll miss the strange wave
That’s what I think babe
Broke ass nigga but I got Versace dreams

Who, could ever depend on me,
Im counting my friends homie
I’ll give you one
Never could miss one beat
(but) Know I could get something
Counting my bands homie,
I’ll give you one
Check my phone there’s an issue with the way it’s roaming,
I don’t give a damn im ronin
(Keep) Asking me the questions, phone in,
Walk out knowing, walk out knowing that I won
Is anybody else in the building’ I don’t think it matter im chillin
I could give my pain for a bank roll
I’ll get the pesos, y’all getting started (Oooohhh)
So lift me up, So I can be,
Ya see you’re fighting with water, but you’re praying to me
And all I need, til the early morn, Is to let me be
I been up for 40 weeks - stressed out
Hoping I can find a way to get my mind back on track it’s hard now
I believe it’s back again, Going out
Really late, hard to stay, crossing the sea again, Flagey
It aint a problem baby, it aint a problem baby
I been on my way, to hold you up, destroy the pain
To say it now, the only way,
Lift me up, I’ll be safe, I’ll be safe, I’ll be safe.

Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone had problems
(if) everyone turned tail when you’re around
Is it mine, or is it me
All of the time, when all i need’s to be alone
Whoo hoooooooooooo
Whoo hoooooooooooo yah
And you could save him, but at what cost
I know I know I know I know (whoo hooo)
On Alameda, until we lost
If I died in a meadow, If I died I don’t think they’d ever find me at all
I’d sit inthe same place, starvin’, hope they never see me fall
I love you, want you, to ride out, maybe take a trip to the mall
I’m hungry, starvin’ out.
Last shot in a moment, And i see you comin down
I don’t know where I’m going, Lord where have you gone.
A world can be so clear
But where have you all gone.
The last shot in a moment
And I see you on the run, and I see on the run, I see you on the run
Now I see you on the run, and I see on the run, I see you on the run

If I was wrong, Let me be
I feel like a ghost right now, finally
Walk all night long, Those winding streets
Wish I could go there now, you could see me
Girl you asked me if I get that De Ja Vue, I do w/ you, I do w/ yo
you asked me if I get that De Ja Vue, I do w/ you, I do w/ yo
Flagey God move X3
you asked me if I get that De Ja Vue, I do w/ you,
Ohhh yeah
I was wrong, Let me be
I feel like a ghost right now, finally
Walk all night long, Those winding streets
Wish I could go there now, you could see me
Girl you asked me if I get that De Ja Vue, I do w/ you, I do w/ yo
you asked me if I get that De Ja Vue, I do w/ you, I do w/ yo
Flagey God move X3
you asked me if I get that De Ja Vue, I do w/ you,

Genres keep us in our boxes,
Keep us from our commas,
Keep us niggas hopeless,
Keep us from our options.
Let a nigga springboard, let a god’s wings burn
If I can’t play the Beacon, then Imma bring the Mossblerd
I been sleeping standing, Transfiguration
Pull up on these white folks.
Park Slope Abandoned
Used to hate my body,
They tried to kill my spirit,
I aint air the club out, but my brother - did it
He did 12 in county, Might as well be quintin, bred in Hidden Valley
I just seen his son out, mixing beats on insta
He don’t know no better, He just getting fucked up off the these Genres
Keep us in our boxes, keep us all from commas, keep us niggas hopeless, keep us from our options,
Let a nigga springboard,
Let a god’s wing’s burn
If i can’t play the beacon, Imma bring the Mossblerd

Wheeeee
I miss the rain on my face
If I could walk on water, I’d be at your place
So what do you get, while they’re around?
Who do you miss? Are they in town?
So tell me what’s your name?
I’m underground.
And I could be your ghost.
Wander around (I’m comin’)
Believe in me, if I’m staying safe or on a tree
Stay with me, if I’m staying home or roaming free yahh
Boy i seen, I seen it all come and go by me
Oh boy I seen, Everything I love pass
I believe in a world that’s black and gold
Don’t nobody gotta know
I wish I could go, somewhere low, where nobody gonna go
I wish I could run, anywhere else but home
Don’t no one know what’s good or what’s bad, or whatev
And I swear to yall that nobody gotta know
if I find what happen to the souls I know
the souls I know
mhm

Fallen For You

Are you heavy?
Are you scared?
Are you holding up, over there?
Were you good enough?
It seem like shit aint fair
I just wonder around,
Are you near?
Yet I've fallen for you
I've fallen for you
Somehow I have, fallen for you
Just like you want me to
Are you ready, The car's not here
I've been holding up, Over here
I bet you've known, that sometimes I get scared
I know you've gone, But somehow
I feel you here.
Yet I've fallen for you
I've fallen for you
Somehow I have, fallen for you
Just like you want me to
Fallen for you x3

Take a left on Rosebud, we’re near my flat
Never lax, never Chill she said, but so blessed
We’d hang outside til the wind cut our cheeks.
You tore the roof off a five seater (top down)and swang it for me,
Lord knows I love my friends, Ooohh I love
So aye bruh, call me on the phone for once
Ayye cuz, you don’t got to be so alone
We aint but, why you act so old all of a sudden
It aint trust when I hit the road in a week and you can’t pick up the phone or nothin
That’s how you Lose a day one, call in four months call in for months (how)
Call in four months
Pt 2
I can’t believe it, a fault that I can’t hide
Memories well up in my eyes
Most folks would say that i seem fine,
But each morning morning I don’t feel worth it
Pull up to my job almost on time
Wish i could disappear more often
Just run home and hide
Feel ghostly bad, way beyond description
I feel sad, not because I miss her
I don’t want nothing I could lose.
If I fall in, who’s gone pull me up blood
I don’t want nothing that I can’t trust
It’s hard now knowing I need you
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh ,ohhh
(it’s on and poppin’ baby that’s why it feel so good) (deep in the background, that’s just for me)
