The Price

I just don't sleep
I just don't lie as well
I just don't buy it still
See
I just been tired as hell
I just been tryna find a seem
How can you lie to yourself
How can you pretend that you're free
When you so tied to yourself
Strings color my intonations
Pardon me if my heart is broke
I got no love for imitations
Manipulations of honest folk
Everyday they feed us all despair
Everyday they feed us all this hope
Everyday its in the conversation
Ramp it up until we all implode
Black holes
Sucking all the energy out
Of every path forward
Need to make belief
Like it ain't really what you ask for
Nothing left within but all the hunger
So you just snack more
Snack More
Eat it up, Eat it like
Send me down, send me down, send me all the way down
Send me down, send me down
Send me down, send me down, send me all the way down
Send me down, send me down
I still don't sleep
I just lay wide awake
My love is not a token
For you to buy then take
I feel the heat
Been burned by my mistakes
I will not blame myself though
Least not this time this place
We cannot do this alone
I feel in my teeth, in my bones
Fight for we
weaken our fight til we own
A slice of our own
If price is no option
No options at all
Tighten the strings
It's like tightening their guard
Til we take down these titans
No gods
Its never the price its the cost
Send me down, send me down, send me all the way down
Send me down, send me down
Send me down, send me down, send me all the way down
Send me down, send me down
Send me down, send me down, send me all the way down
Send me down, send me down
Send me down, send me down, send me all the way down
Send me down, send me down

I gave you time to earn the trust you misinterpreting facts
My circle's tighter than your circle I ain't circling back
They tell you this is what I believe in, but the truth don't speak it
It's so easy to pass a promise but who gone keep it
I gave you time to earn the trust you misinterpreting facts
My circle's tighter than your circle I ain't circling back
They tell you this is what I believe in, but the truth don't speak it
It's so easy to pass a promise but who gone keep it
It's a profession, they getting lost in they're wars
Words only have meaning when they prop and enforce
Tanks doing battle never dropping a corpse
Turn a blatant lie into a confident chorus
These fools, go to school, spend a life, pay the dues
All to learn how to pull all the fight out of you
Gotta know every punch, every strike, every move
Just to prove some common sense end up exhausted and confused
And it's still not enough
Gotta teach people how kill all the love
Or gotta feed hope and hope it heals all of us
Instead of something real to undercut the wheels on the bus
And it's round and round
Never gon' find where we might get out
And it's round and round
Rather let us die then incite shit now
I gave you time to earn the trust you misinterpreting facts
My circle's tighter than your circle I ain't circling back
They tell you this is what I believe in, but the truth don't speak it
It's so easy to pass a promise but who gone keep it
I gave you time to earn the trust you misinterpreting facts
My circle's tighter than your circle I ain't circling back
They tell you this is what I believe in, but the truth don't speak it
It's so easy to pass a promise but who gone keep it
It's an obsession, they've forgotten whats real
Desperate for attention never stoppin to feel
Less deliberate, it's just as toxic concealed
Talk is cheap, just a tool to open options and deals
Love bombs developed for defense, maybe
Become a new weapon to test
To infect safely
Who to impersonate
Who to invest in
Finding someone open to suggestion
Then they take
Not a lot at first, they wait
Need to find a better balance need the time to build a case
Manipulate
Because the look that's on they face
If guilt is not enough you feel the violence in their wake
Make no mistake
Its a perpetuated system
Where they take cover in grays between your empathy and wisdom
All been fake
Green pastures meant for cause
They pretend look for solutions to some fabricated flaw
You can't escape
I gave you time to earn the trust you misinterpreting facts
My circle's tighter than your circle I ain't circling back
They tell you this is what I believe in, but the truth don't speak it
It's so easy to pass a promise but who gone keep it
I gave you time to earn the trust you misinterpreting facts
My circle's tighter than your circle I ain't circling back
They tell you this is what I believe in, but the truth don't speak it
It's so easy to pass a promise but who gone keep it
Which side are you on
Which side are you on
Which side are you on
The vanity to think
We all revolve ' round you

Worn out on a Monday
Get down on a Tuesday
Every day is mundane
They've got nothing to say
I can feel in my skin
Got no spirit their eyes
Got no reason to protect
Really feelin it this time
(They never tryin nothing new)
Go on you wear disguise
The sentimental lies
(Nothing really ever due)
You're up you're down
You run in circles all your life
(They never tryin nothing new)
Go on you wear disguise
The sentimental lies
(Nothing really ever due)
You're up you're down
You run in circles all your life
So much
For the oaths you took
For the home you made
So much
For the trust you earned
For the hope we saved
So much
Keeps on getting confounded
Confuse and replaced
So much
For the lies you share
For the lives you take
Manipulate
Manipulate
Got no reason to protect
Mindin' my own damn business
They just want you for the moment
They just want you for the second
Like they here to show you love
But they don't really respect it
Only coming for the neck
When ain't no one to protect it
Mindin my own damn business
You can act like you don't know me
You can guess at my intentions
I'ma get this off my chest
That's enough of my attention
You can twist up my whole sentence
Every word,
I fuckin' meant it
Now Ima end
(They never tryin nothing new)
Go on you wear disguise
The sentimental lies
(Nothing really ever due)
You're up you're down
You run in circles all your life
(They never tryin nothing new)
Go on you wear disguise
The sentimental lies
(Nothing really ever due)
You're up you're down
You run in circles all your life
I can feel it in my skin

Maybe I'm wrong
Afraid to be on my own
Maybe it's different out there
Then I could ever know
Have I been livin in a
Have I been livin in a hole
I dig in every direction don't know where to go
Maybe I'm blind
No connection to the truth
Maybe the lessons learned
Just don't reflect what I've been through
But when I'm with you I don't feel I'm well
But when I'm with you I can't be myself
You push me through these paces
You keep telling me I'm not enough
Well why are you stayin now
So what the fucks an us
What the fucks a me to you if me you do not trust
What is it you see if you just dreaming we combust
I'm fillin' it up
Even when I feel I'm not feeling the love still feel I'm enough
So what the fucks an us
What the fucks a me to you if me you do not trust
What is it you see if you just dreaming we combust
I'm fillin' it up
Even when I feel I'm not feeling the love still feel I'm enough
I've been fallin'
I've been fallin'
I've been fallin'
I've been fallin'
Fall away, fall away way way
I've been fallin' for so long, long
Fallin', fallin', fallin', fall
I've been fallin' for so long, long
Fallin', fallin', fallin'
I've been fallin' for so long, long
I've been
Fallin'
For too long
I've been fallin', yeah
I've been fallin' for so long, long
Fallin' for so long, long
I've been fallin'
Fallin' for this
Fall away, fall away, fall away
Fall away, fall away, fall away from me
Fall away, fall away, fall away
Fall away, fall away from me
Fall away, fall away, fall away
Fall away, fall away, fall away from me
Fall away, fall away, fall away
Fall away, fall away from me

Runnin Man

This is not about a point of view yea
This is not about a disagreement aye
Everybody got a path to choose
Some of you just wanna act a fool
Liking all the Instagram posts
With the vague shit, all the scandals
Givin' you the right yea you demand those
Cause the truth is hard for you to handle
Wolf in a sheep skin
Wanna creep in
What you believe in
You wanna seek ends
On a pretense
You ain't really friends
Lies turn to motivations
Find something for the hatred
Blame everyone you betrayin'
Always find justification
Can't stop for a second might drown 'any self awareness reckoned right now
Thoughts like a broken record by now
Feed for the fuel don't let it die down
The cops use it
The banks use it
The law refuses
To bake truth in
It's all excuses
When no shoes fit
Make new sense
To hang you with
Runnin' man
You can run it man
You can run it all for show
Got me feelin' down, got us feelin' down
Don't know where to go
There's no hope
Hold it down
Hold it down
Needin all this control
There's no hope
Chippin' off the top til you hit the coffin
All for profit
No goal
Then you ghost
Use the government to stay rich
Then you lie about it makin' statements
Talkin' about fuck all these taxes
Like our taxes don't pay your rent
Like you never asked from the people round you
For that seed money
For that greed money
For that "I'ma make it one day please"
For that "why cant you believe in me" money
But forget as quick you can ditch em
Cause your trust always come with conditions
'Less they bend the knee to you they competition
Lessons been defeating you but you don't listen
Can't admit
You don't offer shit
Do the opposite
Always seek control
In the meantime
Anybody tryna live an honest life
Need to be opposed
Pay no mind, break em down
Take the soul
Make em fold, til they think they all alone
Heart is cold
Warmin' up to cynicism
All to turn a fighter back into victim sold
The cops use it
The banks use it
The law refuses
To bake truth in
It's all excuses
When no shoes fit
Make new sense
To hang you with
Runnin' man
You can run it man
You can run it all for show
Got me feelin' down, got us feelin' down
Don't know where to go
There's no hope
Hold it down
Hold it down
Needin all this control
There's no hope
Chippin' off the top til you hit the coffin
All for profit
No goal
Then you ghost

Finger grips gettin stronger
I will suffer no longer
Holding onto my conscience is
More important than your honor
Wasted time around toxic shit
Circular like their logic
Usually I'm so cautious
Like to know all my options
Never one to be plottin
Surrounded by liars and conmen
I just wanna be like Common
I just wanna leave it honest
Say one word through your cheeks, I'm out
Well informed in my peace, I've found
I don't need to please right now huh
Y'all are dead to me right now huh
Its that narcissistic streak there's no empathy
Never understand to me you're no centerpiece
Its that narcissistic streak there's no empathy
Never understand why we got no sympathy
When you take for so long you must only feel mistaken now baby
When you take for so long you must only feel mistaken a lil bit
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Y'all been made
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Y'all been made, I'm done playin
Watch 'em slip into the water til the well run out
My hand ain't never touched the mat but still the bell rung out
Cause you got cuts beside your temple that you bladed for the color
When the kayfabe under fire, how much faking can you muster?
Like for real
But we ain't really being real, cause I'm not real to you, I feel
It's all diversion, just a smokescreen that I'm feeling through
Let's count that "1, 2, 3"
The stinger stuck, you bumblebee'd
Don't give a fuck on what you need if I'm the crux that you perceive
I'm not the one
Teleport me to a time when this was fun
You hella noided and that's fine but shit I'm done
Just hold that gold around your waist you never won
When you take for so long you must only feel mistaken now baby
When you take for so long you must only feel mistaken a lil bit
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Y'all been made
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Apply the pressure to them quick, I'm done playin, playin, playin
Y'all been made

They always take advantage of you when you're low
When your pride's on the floor
And you don't have no more
I think it's just the standard of who's in control
Cause when they see you get more
Then they just move the goal
And there it goes again
Taking from your hand
All part of the plan
And they always win
In the end
There it go goes again (Ooo shit)
Taken from you hand (That bullshit)
All part of the plan
And they'll do it again
And again
Till they win
The real shit is when it's happening slow
You let it creep and it inhabits your soul
I remember back when I was I still broke
Shit was more expensive when I didn't have it in bulk
It's costs money to need money to lose money
Cars gone, bus late, works pissed, who's coming
Nobody
They always got praise like you're essential
We couldn't do it without you, you're important you're the tentpole
But when there's a paycut you take them be grateful
And where the fuck are they? Vacation, in space though
Can't quit, only power in the faithful
Pray to god for miracles, guess miracles get made slow
It's funny how we all see it
It's less funny how y'all deny it
I know it to be deliberate at this point
I know that y'all not trying to help
You see the problem and you're defining them well
Just to twist it all inside of itself
Fake something that makes money, but nothing else
Take advantage of people looking for something real
You're lying to them
You keep lying to them
They're lying to you
They keep lying to you
If they're so rich and good at making money
WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO EVER TEACH YOU
There's no fucking way they're being honest with you
They don't need you
Unless
Maybe if you give them some of your money, you'll get to the top of the pyramid
I can tell you to work hard
I can tell you to be smart
I can tell you that everybody around you lazy for no charge
Who the fuck you think is working at the businesses that you invest in
You fucking idiot
If you start from a conclusion guess what you gon' find
That's how pretty simple math gets so undermined
That's a billion dollar industry to run and hide
This is the greenest that it gets there is no other side
Everybody know hard work is essential
Meritocracy is just a myth to take your money
Meritocracy is just a myth to keep control
It's just another way to use instead colonize a country
You don't think it's fishy that people with the power
Are the same ones that keep telling you that they deserve to tower
And you're just like them
But you're not quite them
If you could just learn
To be less like you
Then you might just get
To be more lied to
I see the way things really are
Y'all try to cover up the scars
The world is full of cruelty
So what if i abuse it when It's suiting me
It's human nature
Everyone hates you
Everyone's dishonest
Even if they don't hate you
Females won't date you
Unless they get paid to
Unless you get your money up they got nothing to relate to
Broke dudes jealous
The rich rule fellas
I never get emotional but I might get overzealous
I might get into an argument to demonstrate my wellness
I got no insecurities, don't pretend to hate the realness
Y'all could never feel this
Y'all could never feel this
I'm so in control why you always he interfering
All of your emotions
Getting wrapped up in my fearless
Ego, we crush weak foes
And thus we grow
When I get all the money then
None of yall be funny then
Cause numbers lie, numbers don't lie
Numbers don't lie, numbers don't lie
Numbers don't lie, numbers can't lie
These numbers don't lie
Numbers don't lie, numbers can't lie
Please don't let these numbers lie
I'll get it then, I'll get it then, I'll get it then
I'll get it then, I'll get it then
Why would they lie to me

So wrapped up in a point of view
You cant see the truth that's right in front of you
As long as you can keep 'em all around
You can keep 'em all around
You can keep 'em all around right
So wrapped up in a point of view
You cant see the truth in front of you
Sideways talkin out your mouth
Disconnected from reality there's no one left to doubt
Time has never lost
Time is always crawlin'
Baby's first steps
Now he think he ballin'
Life is so long, lie for so long
How you even know what you really call it
You think that you been trickin' 'em
All you do is trip yourself when you ain't quick enough
You wish this shit was simple now
Sitting all alone cause you cant get it down
It can't be all your fault
They got you flippin' out
Trust was not an option how's it different now
Everybody change on you
Everybody flake
Nobody reliable ain't nobody say it
Circular in nature
Never want to learn
Deaf to all your failing
You ain't never heard
The song sang bout everyone round you
Caught up in yourself you never found you
So wrapped up in a point of view
You cant see the truth that's right in front of you
Sideways talkin out your mouth
Disconnected from reality there's no one left to doubt
As long as you can keep 'em all around
You can keep 'em all around
You can keep 'em all around right
Sideways talkin out your mouth
Disconnected from reality there's no one left to doubt
Only asking for advice to hear reflections back
I am no mirror on a wall, you think I'm less in fact
You think you fairest, and its unfair that I would question that
You should be embarrassed that you haven't learned this lesson yet
You're too grown to not take on responsibility
You're drawn to victims in your path that cant see toxic energy
You try control you try to plead you still can't find no inner peace
You think it's them, you think it's me, we must be plotting your defeat
How often does it happen where it just happens to not be your day
You get to talkin then to actin then believe in what you fake
You stay blind to it as you bind to it fill the shape
Just to walk another circle on display
So wrapped up in a point of view
You cant see the truth that's right in front of you
Sideways talkin out your mouth
Disconnected from reality there's no one left to doubt
As long as you can keep 'em all around
You can keep 'em all around
You can keep 'em all around right
Sideways talkin out your mouth
Disconnected from reality there's no one left to doubt

It's just another sunny day for me
If you could stay the fuck away from me
And I don't know what you could say to me
As if it'd ever change a thing for me
Cause it's another sunny day for me
If you could stay the fuck away from me
And I don't know what you could say to me
As if it'd ever change a thing for me
Thankfully
I'm free
I will never be deceived
I don't need to make it scene
Livin someone else dream
Can't afford to make believe
You don't know what wholeness means
You just walk this world asleep
Way too scared to wake and see
Take the light and make it bleek
You ain't ever turned the cheek
Feeding' on your own deceit
You can put this on repeat
You ain't ever finding peace
You can't tell me what I need
All your webs are incomplete
All your methods weak
All you do is plot
It's just another sunny day for me
If you could stay the fuck away from me
And I don't know what you could say to me
As if it'd ever change a thing for me
Cause it's another sunny day for me
If you could stay the fuck away from me
And I don't know what you could say to me
As if it'd ever change a thing for me
Thankfully
I'm free
Free from awful toxic themes that orbit y'alls philosophies
Free from siphoning off a dream no thoughts to reciprocity
Free from holdin on to bitter seeds til every thought is in the weeds
Lost within infinity, the countless possibilities
That never could exists
That you can't see for what it is
Just reflections of an ego getting pushed off of a cliff
Fallin feelin paper light
As long as they can patronize
Reaching out a helping hand a smile to frame their vacant eyes but
It's just another sunny day for me
If you could stay the fuck away from me
And I don't know what you could say to me
As if it'd ever change a thing for me
Cause it's just another sunny day for me
If you could stay the fuck away from me
And I don't know what you could say to me
As if it'd ever change a thing for me
Thankfully
I'm free
Everday I get to be
Closer to some inner peace
You can't take my light
You can't take light
You can't take all the things you think ever I need
I can tell you don't seem to see me
For who I am, for what I believe
But it don't matter to me
Thankfully I'm free
