“I was just telling solace the other day how my side just come out to play when I'm hollow no medication No silence or meditation, close-minded Close my door behind when you grow impatient My only sense of direction is pride and the growth adjacent to me, it's overstated I'm overstaying my welcome, my weather just like my stay Cuz I seldom. grasp what's at stake hear Melding minds with my brother Melt my mask with my women, unwilling to show another Service my old obstructions, service my own destruction Serve me a serpent's head and I'll lecture on how to trust it Just leave it to me, lean on belief and lead me to leak Oh meaningless me weaving the street just seeming discrete You hand me a mirror, I'll show you the peril of leniency I'm sharing my innards, flows ain't no bearing to secrecy I stare at my ceiling, stare at my grandma, stare at my children I shine for em all I smile as I fall up stairs in my building Brought me back to earth...”

“Treading water Heady martyr That's the ego in me Steady barter for what defeat could get me Instead of cravin' out my deepest entries I'm dizzy falling off deep seated envy See what you're used to never seems to be complex Complexity is everything, my feet before my head And blaming steps on symmetry Heart beating in my chest A realest seed, at 17, I seek to 'ceed myself And benighted my light more carefully And by night, my life is definitely privatized..”

“It's after dusk and it’s just me and my phone I’m high as fuck my baby sleeping alone Scroll through her tweets as I roll Niggas sleepy but no sleep in my bones My house is decent, I’m no beacon at home And so I speed as I doze Out of excuses for erratic behavior Now my hubris is just tatted I’ll take it Spat in the face of my savior Text my brother make sure I’m still coherent I only trust him ‘cause that nigga my mirror Reflect the depth of my spirit And I’m still shallow but I’ll battle at home My thoughts just rattle cross the cracks of my skull My laugh intact as they dull Iron sharpens iron, I prioritize desires This sort of brings endorphin Sorting through my hoard of liars Residing in my head, was quiet while you slept baby Still tryna do my best, my eyes don’t get no rest lately Nightmare image bled, you crying in distress, save me My eyes are getting red, I’m tired of your rest, wake up With doubt, I’ll hear your whisper rising or your figure hits at Horizons I had hit while diving in your river, figures Pointing fingers has never gotten us nowhere My phone is ringing, my head, the sky, and the cold air, ay We gon’ die without shit outta life I’mma die without shit but the spite And all this shit that I write And all these words ain’t shit without light And all these birds ain’t shit without flight And that’s the end of my night...”

“ And all these words ain’t shit without light And all these birds ain’t shit without flight...”
