Hazy

Got a new name for my morning, the rubber band routine
No more rain, no more pouring, I'm in the car
Moving down the highway
Well Shit, I'm supposed to stop for you?
That's not what a good leader's supposed to do!
If I'm not leading then I'm following you
And that would leave me feeling quite untrue
So with no one to lead, I'll follow myself
Get it how I live, I don't ask for help
I see you all aiming at the jewels below my belt
Last of a dying breed and you coming for the pelt
The prodigal Obi-Wan son, don returnin
Haze in the windows cause 2 splifs are burnin
Sign for a new 9 to 5, I'm still earning
Curving Erick Sermon, rarely passing on sherman
And I can't stop writing, rhymes are under my skin
Soft cell, tainted love, but I'll be tucking you in
No more torture was painted than the valley of sin
And nothing surpasses what's being the man to your kin
Not gettin rich off of rap, just tryna reach all my cats
City bus last stop, dank smells in backpacks
No tryna offer dollars over, come and smoke some with me
If you a friend of mine expect you will be smoking for free
But you know, I never realized how hazy it could be
Til I let the window down and the smoke floated past me
I ask myself, can I play my part?
Did I enact my plans with proper feelings in my heart?
Can I keep it together for the times that we're apart?
If I'd let it go there, I would've been ghost from the start
But can I ask for all your pardons?
Rather play it straight with you all than speaking in jargon
But I can do it
Make that money with day labor
That work moneys for for vacay
Or spend it on my baybay, keep the weekend lookin cray cray....
My stuntin game's on mayday
But when I stop my wheels don't keep spinning
But the world does, it's y'all's job to fit in
Legs are an engine, upside down v-twin
Sayonara, cause I'm in the wind

Dreaming like a hipster, my cut asymmetric
And I can't pay my bills so life is getting hectic
More Awkward than a teenager's erection,
Can't decide direction so I'm rechecking the metrics
Broke before i had the smoke
I bought it anyway
Stumble on emoticons
I’m trippin through the alleyway
Yo, what the fuck is up?
Or on my Odd Future shit, not giving no fucks
You just looking for a cobra to clutch
I’m a python
Squeezing at the lemons till i get a new hype song
On my way to the open mic
Bout to get it open like a dentist
Yeah, overbite
Or is it overkill
Saying anything i want, doing anything i will
Show you
And when we get to the paint i’m an artist
Moving too fast to beg your pardon
I been that
Look into the mirror a criminal’s looking back there
A wolf man’s cousin if you believe my back har
Snapping back packs in ashtrays
Actually clapping
For my brothers and sisters on they Master’s game
Yeah clap, no metaphorical gat
But I been chillin with my cousins at the trap,yeah
We go back
Trying to stay away from the cigarettes
And my mind is going crazy, yeah, spinarettes
If you listen to me talking you could think i had tourette’s
I’ma spit this one right up off the top, yeah, no regrets
Race is getting started, place your bets
I’m forever young, cut the check
The roughest neck
Business tech, supercomputer
Be behind the desk in no time, herbert hoover
My girl is like a rock, yeah, try to move her
Always hold me down when we at King Sooper
An undercover smoker, wait to light the doober
But i’ll be killing in the future like the cast of looper
Super dooper, so fresh i need a proofer
You groovy movers stuck in the past, bell bottoms
And puka shells on em
I always got a pack with me, helps me feel at home
Keeps a muzzle on the voices,back of my dome
I would like to have some wherever I roam
Fucking whack, this continued prohibition’s overblown
I injected 3 pots today, and i ain’t die yet
It’s incredible the edibles i ain’t even buy yet
Cop a daihatsu hijet maybe a dune buggy
It all looks better when i make the choom bubbly
You smilin, got a notion of control, it’s kinda ugly
Keepin people from natural medicine, they already strugglin
I been maintaining, y’all be steady buggin
Wondering how i’m handling the weather
Man i’m Teddy Ruxpin
Got the yellow parka, rain jacket with the missing button
Over here with my lamb chop,you munching mutton
Stuck in the dark ages, it’s a wonder you can function
Light my spliff with the candle while I walk into the dungeon
This searching bit is humbling, wonder whether it’s my stomach rumbling
Can a brother get an Italian beef with fries or something?

If science fiction’s taught me anything, it’s that a emp ruins everything
Run, Forrest, run, you’ll never live to see the second coming
heavy-weight on the bars
Keepin jars fulla stank
Living large, outta state
And like my man said, and ya don't stop
On the ones and twos Slomo’s the sure shot
Taking everything off the top when I rock
And roll out the door headin to show spots
Take in all the atmosphere like an airlock
The leather jacket’s real, the boots mock
Been anywhere you've been, and everywhere you not
And everywhere I go I turn out to be a misfit
Like surprise, y’all, Santa delivered me for Christmas
But I ain't what you asked for, not one you'd go to bat for
My impatience is past gone, donating change to a cash fund
Who’s who today?
Begin, start the kumite
Rollin up some vegetable, flammable yessir,
never stressing; burning my hecklers, no distraction for the Messer.
Limited my expression, sidestepping all the blessings
Spittin on the gates when I sublimate to heaven
I escaped from Egypt, so my bread is unleavened
Rhetoric for seconds, if you tryna guess on my methods
It's so deep
Deeper than I think I could see
I reach for the replay and all I hear is fleece
Miss me with that shit like you shooting some geese
Everybody walking round like they the one to beat (beat, beat)
What’s all this, acting hard?
Heads Wired to the jackal’s heart
Quit playing with me, emotion’s not for free
This dick will not do what you want without a fee
The fact I'm actually doing this should not be a bit implausible
Standing in the back of the line but my voice should still be audible
Omaha
18
Omaha
Omaha, 18, omaha
Show the flaw, fake screen
Pockets feeling empty
But I'm racing through the open green, do you feel me?
Bag of sunshine keepin my eyes dry
I don’t know what it is, but whatever’s in this mai tai’s
Sending me right back beyond the pale
Searching for legend of beyond and sour ale
Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped turned upside down
I don't understand gravity, I guess I’ll go with it
Took a bite of the Apple, and I found a worm in it
What’s all this, acting hard?
Heads Wired to the jackal’s heart
Quit playing with me, emotion’s not for free
This dick will not do what you want without a fee

I could be liaison for the new modern savior
As we stand up for communion, pass a joint with the wafer
Do me a favor, I'm a bather in that Midwestern flavor
Don't come too close, cause I came nude under the waders
Bouncing like a moon walk
Move mountains when my face talks
Not a fan of small talk, bringing it back to all stock
Sick with the threads, got the fashion on smallpox
Copping precious cargo, gonna guard it like the argonauts
I browse police blotters, it takes a little more to move me
Holding up the skull, to be or not to be groovy
No boom sticks, I hits no licks for ever
Your crew gon switch when the moon just hits
Reflections in the whites of my eyes
This hypebeast bit the hind of my thigh
No coattails, they missed When they was biting my style
So Jewish all my haters screaming sieg heil
I love them all too, traded shoes and put miles between us
Left em in the dust, they ain't walking no more, like diabeetus
Path of the righteous is beset by those who do evil things
I could body em like Vincent but I like the way that Jules thinks
Cool, boo, let's keep this clean
I'm on my beast
You was just gon leave it to Beave
Taking a break, siestita para ti, take a peek
This ain't a moment for relief
Getcha hands clean but no, you can't handle the beef
Catch me out in the streets
I see you think I'm acting
Ruin careers with small mistakes, running up and asking
Which side I choose to fly the flag on
(High)
No side to stand on
So I'm floating in the sky
(bye)
Waving hello to all the people
It's nice to meet the world
And all the pretty girls
That one got the hair curled up
Planet express crew, dynamite the herd up
Hey buddy, turn the volume of your words up
Rappers sounding like something the cat done hurled up
Tossing cookies like a monster, down your throat
Like a Thompson automatic in the hands of the Godfather
I can hear your thoughts
Dancing on your temporal lobe, new lines to cross into places I shouldn't go
And I'm the boss like Grammer to Donovan
Swinging hammers at writers that be professing to dying wishes
But I wont be pulling triggers
My platter’s full of stitching
Patching denim to true religion
I'm chasing after all the banks cause the money smells dank
Might need to freshen my snack stash
Don't ever pass glass it could break any second
All this cheer out here in the mountain air
Bring a flashlight cause you might get scared
If the suds are cold, I'm Mackenzie with the drunk flow
Chasing the chips, finger flipping for the dice roll
Flying like a crow, but the raven’s circling
Gunplay blowing skirts up, cross country
Ain't talking bout the man, my archives are dusty
Wearing all baggage from the years i was husky
Sinewave explosions, don't notice
Holding my soul in the cup, now I'm frozen
Bloody knife got lost, I can't place a motive
Alibi cool, 1970s posters
Can't keep the monkey off my sunburned back
Prevailing bail, make a stack, then I'm spending the rack
On provisions for a trip to a faraway land
Where they speak in languages I don't understand
But Ima learn em
Pick a bottle out from underneath the ice
While I foster feelings of deleting my vice
But the marijuana buzzing make my head feel nice!
Vibrating so low you can hear it thru the pipes
Scaffolding, structure, bang, I bust it down
Inject a virus made of me to all the members of the crowd
Decimation of the message is too widespread
If I wanted to die, I’d already be dead
But Instead, I’ll plant a seed
Wait for the fruit I'm gonna taste
Skillet up so good, you'll kiss the side of my face
Ain't even on a level yet, this is world 1
Won't be eating no peaches, 5 rotations round the sun
Beeper chirping, fam is not having no fun
Any chance I get I'm going far as my legs can run

So lemme tell you all about the night that I
Got myself arrested and just by the by
It was the worst weekend of my entire life
Lost my father's sister and I spent the night
Empty fucking pockets and a nervous mind
Locked up inside the jailhouse on a work night
Haven't really thought about it, no I lie
Aint in my record but it's always on my mind
So the scene inside my head is me I'm driving in my mom's ride
Heading to my cousins’ cause their mom just died
Cancer from smoking cigarettes my poor auntie
Couldn't put em down steady upping the ante
My grandad on my mom’s side had it too
A story for another time but now, anywho
I'm driving to my cousins' with a pack in my pocket
The upper left breast and the stash it was rocking
Had a left coming but my car was in the right lane
Didn't see the car behind me was a black and white
(Damn)
Pulled to the right thought I was doing the right thing
5 other Tahoe's rollin like it was a drug sting
Pulled me over for changing lanes in the intersection
Now the car is impounded and I'm off to corrections
Heading to the station and I'm tense as fuck
It's good cop silent cop wish I was in the trunk
The young guy keeps talking like im gonna drop a dime
But nah I'm fine, can you adjust these cuffs one time?
Ffilling out the paperwork I'm trying to relax
Another officer comes in and starts rapping at the cat
And now I'm pissed, cause I learned in actual fact
I paid 25% high on an eighth for the loud pack
Move me to another room and now I'm really sweating
The man that's next to me is a recidivist legend
A Johnny in and out, yeah he knew the whole game
Started getting loud when a new surprise came:
We ain't getting booked there, we on the move
The vehicle was built like we could be hunted by goons in sweatsuits
Armored boxes up inside the white Econoline
2 500 model with the modified throttle
Fingerprints took, my photograph too
Arm marked with numbers, then I’m sent into the zoo
Sunday night, Crime is low
Got a cell by my lonesome
Suppose I should appreciate I got me a mattress
Instead I wonder how a man is supposed to get past this
2:30 in the morning, now they waking me up.
Time to go home, but first I gotta get my stuff
Cell phone, wallet, and my keys held up
Back at the place they booked me, how’m I supposed to go get them?
Lucky pops was up, cops gave me 50 cents
Glad I pay my taxes for this heavy level of stress
One month later and I'm in the courthouse
A suit with no jacket and a tie that I copped
Thank goodness for my attire
Suppose if I had shown up in my work clothes, shit, man,
I might as well retire
Heard my name called, walkin up to the bench
Let my eyes drift over off to my left
It's good old silent cop and he's staring some daggers
I'm shaking like a leaf, man, I hope that doesn't matter
Some deliberation judge is looking at me
Asking me if I wanna go pd
Absolutely I do, can't afford no case
Walking out the courtroom and I stop in my place
Because they callin me back
I look at silent cop's face
He dropping the motion, so I guess it's stale, mate
I wonder bout his impetus to this very day
Guess he got cold feet when he knew I couldnt pay
Walking out the big house, no ticket in my
Hand because conviction wasn't happening why
Live to smoke another day, everybody
I ain't special, I'm just everyday, no illuminati
A message to everybody out there who might get pinched
If you know you law-breaking use some common sense
Don't let a situation make you into a snitch
Keep it real zipped up and never speak on your plug, kids
