part 1

intro:

waiting for you, waiting for
you

verse 1:

yea, if i listened to my morning thoughts, then i would be departed
and i wouldn’t be here to fulfill my every promise
if i listened to anxiety, i never coulda fought it
if i listened to my envy then friends would be the target

but i kept it at that mirror
shattered glass cuz i felt fragile and inferior, in fear of
never being embraced by the culture i was bred by
learned by turning pencils into bullets, let the led fly

the demons speak to you, they hopping between bodies
people say you can’t, really puppeteered, i push ‘em off me

if you squint your eyes when they turn around, you’ll see a creature creeping on their spine, infesting in their mind
before they hop on to the next and they grab ‘em by they necks
morphing dreamers into pests, obsessed with possessing these checks
there’s so much that i regret, but there’s nothing that i wanted that i didn’t do
i make all the sh~t that you can’t mimic dude

im unafraid to make mistakes
i done built towers knowing they would break
just to see the height that i could make

you may see that as a waste of time
infectious parasites will convince you that everything is based in dimes
but i seen and felt that global love
around the world they offer me their hands, hold me up

blood that gave me love told me that i am the chosen one
and i believed them, so i’m traveling where f~cking no one does

anchoring the boat, while wishing to destroy it
not knowing that the fisherman is on his final voyage
force to forfeit my fortress for the sake of fortune
infested with fabrics and homies still offer me portions

always try to give it back, they just point back at that map
tell me keep on going till my f~cking systems outta wack
so i’m raising on the mast

and my starboard is star bound, no anchor on my wing now
this crows nest, i sing loud
im not past that, the flag remains at half mast
stash raps in my backpack, next to giraffes that they stabbed at
soon this moment will only be living as a flashback
your smile is a ghost looping around me like a laugh track

and i started with a dream and the ignorance to chase it
needing me naivety to see the gleam i made it
they say that im rapping like my life depending on it
that’s because it does, im not knowing how to end the sonnet

outro:

they don’t know
if i don’t know where i am meant to go
they don’t know
they don’t know what i have done to grow
they don’t know
sacrificed everything
they don’t know
but never had to lose a thing
they don’t know
they don’t know
they don’t know
they don’t know

sometimes it feels like i spent a lifetime hiding between those thresholds
part 2

intro:

who can say that we can’t have forever?
we can’t last together?
they don’t know who we are

were like stars in the sky
we will shine for better
they will know forever
what our light looks like

verse 1:

lately i been feeling like i been inside a purgatory
between salvation and the life that came before me
10 years, thinking you’d at the summit right?
haunted by the cost of thoughts that keep you up at night

the ship is sinking, and the hull is pierced from bullets
i seen the soul escape your eyes, the moment you pull it
but gravity can’t alter a flying bullet’s sonic speed
so when that trigger is squeezed, only victim gon be me

i fought for ages, i mutilated faces
this is my latest one, but there’s no hope to save it
nothin changes, im still the coward in the tower right
and, what did i learn? that very same power might

grace me wings, but it laced me in a straight jacket
warning shots grazed me, just searching for a safe passage
eternally falling with smiles, just pretend i’m flying
even with these wings i can’t escape event horizon

as my fingers spider through that wreckage
lost my breath, i found there’s nothing left of your presence
i’ll keep looking, just a whiff of your fragrance
any debt is better than attempting to replace it

im still running from the sun, a battle that is never won
im still chasing nothing, potential that’ll never come
lost my drive, i don’t care for plays and numbers
pouring myself into molds that are shaped by others

i been anxious, asking how to tell all those i love
i been stuck inside a rut for more than just a couple months
in the end, what kinda man will i become?
i done asked that question till the answer became none

immolate the breath that’s in my lungs, till im running out
if they deprive me of my story, i got nothing now
when the verse ends, my life will follow suit
never let the ink dry, refuse to swallow truth
listen

bridge:

ooo, i don’t know
i don’t know how to go
across the bridge
door’s open, but it is opaque
i can see it both ways (i don’t know)

verse 2:

beaten and battered, i can’t even tell where all my injury at
but how could i be tired while i’m running victory laps
i relapsed and escaped the cages that misery traps
they placing bets on my future well i brought history back

standing at his turntables, flash is speaking through me
ain’t mean to k!ll your favorite rapper but i got a duty
revitalize the game without a single cheat code
we made green leaf trilogy but what the f~ck do we know?

outro:

i awoke one man, yet i live separate lives in frail attempts to be better
never together
running from the sun, i sit persevered in a doorway
as if tethered between thresholds forever
and ever

part 3

intro:

hook 1:

before my lungs give out
tell me i did everything that i could do for you
(before my lungs give out)
before my lungs give out
tell me i made everything that i wanted to

verse 1:

promise me that i am better than this
promise me that i can settle these sins
because i have been fighting the path for too long
the current is strong, and i hope i ain’t wrong

when swimming against it or letting it pull me
i’ve let myself go, and now no one can hold me
i been in the prison, with indecision
everyone’s whole but between me’s division

why do i always feel guilty when happy
carving my smiles, im scared they’ll attack me
advice that i’ve taken has taken me nowhere
my thoughts on a sleeve of a shirt that i don’t wear

inside the frame of the door is so frightening
but i been living here, now it’s enticing
neither there nor here, somewhere between
the thresholds that separate us are a screen

bridge:

before my lungs give out
tell me i did everything that i could do for you

hook:

before my lungs give out
tell me i did everything that i could do for you
promise me that i did enough for you

before my lungs give out
promise me that i’m ok to leave you all here
before my lungs give out

before my lungs give out (before my lungs)
promise me that i’m ok to leave you all here (before my lungs)
before my lungs give out

before my lungs give out
before my lungs give out
before my lungs give out
before my lungs give~
