Silver salts rewind, steady through my mind To replay and reflect through all the past times Everything is, everything exists Pressing play to reminisce You were once that reclusive kid Now you a full grown can you make it on your own Is the design of your intention just too big? The screen was the kingdom, no need to leave home Video tapes and vinyl make you feel rich. With movies and music you can never feel alone I was skimmin through pops records or lost in the video store I had become dedicated to story and sound I had become vindicated when I made that shit my route But it's hard to grow older and still press on without doubt Things get complicated with every strikeout But I'll never forget to rewind and press play Gotta make that little mothafucka proud I'll never forget to rewind and press play Gotta make that little mothafucka proud

Radio Raheem like a mothafucka Build yo best team, just a bunch a suckas Your scene against me, calculate the numbers Tokin on some leaves, I'll save some for ya motha Chillen in the weeds taking notes and planting seeds Been a benefit to me Silverslums came to be While you sleep I'm building beats And Ima push them to the streets I'm Truman out to sea I get free when I chase that mystery You from the California desert so they think of you lesser Bitch I shine through rockin a purple cape just like The Shredder Make the speakers wetter, put work into your endeavors Must have purpose and pleasure to do it forever Make diamonds under pressure Just another voyage, we on some new shit The quiet type, but I just might, have ideas brewing inside when the time is right Mixing flows and sounds in my compound all night Grocery bags under my eyes but like Curtis I'm Superfly Look like Cheech but I feel like Chong Blending weed and coffee till I'm done with the song Work in the AM, my head is heavy weighin' Me and the clock do not get along Its in my blood fire jams from the hood We bumped gold in my house My pops knew what was good Dirk Diggler, I'm gonna be a great big shining star A confident brown man, white folks be settin their alarms Don't they know that I can be so full of charm Bumpin Art Laboe on a Sunday cruisin down the boulevard Just another voyage, we on some new shit let's have a party Just another voyage, we on some new shit let's have a party Destroyer of your worries, ain't nothin to it Destroyer of your worries, ain't nothin to it Just another voyage, we on some new shit let's have a party Just another voyage, we on some new shit let's have a party

I keep it moving right along From the slums to a paragon Silver Surfing till the break of dawn on and on and on on on on Max Rebo on the keys, let me tour them galaxies Misery feelin pretty with the pleasure of my company Celebrator of creativity Bust down real good in this festivity Please don't bother me if it's too early and I haven't had my smoke and coffee You a snail you salty Real life is just a comedy Can you Dig it? Are you wit it? The flex of the future novelty Introspective thought detective To be respected gotta give respect kid Using Venmo for gold caps Gotta reset the format Go further than the floormats If you tryna hustle up and get cash Take it easy, take it breezy Don't be greasy, don't be greedy Don't be dumb I'm just trying to have fun Why you taking yourself too serious? Pushin hard to be someone a bite of fame got you delirious I keep it moving right along From the slums to a paragon Silver Surfing till the break of dawn on and on and on on on on Bobby pins covered in resin Yeah I stole that spot, you gonna call me out Ellen? West coasted, toasted, posted in the pad You got broken emotions they say keep them in tact When your desolate notions be kickin dirt on your path You either move along, or you fall off of the track I still push forward, so I can sit back and laugh Everyone's so obsessed with the past We're on a bus driven by a bunch of maniacs Smooth sailing I cruise, never chasing Who will be staying? Who will be fading? Smooth sailing I cruise, never chasing You can keep on hating As I zoom I'll be waving

Gazing out the window am I on pause or am I in limbo? I love it here, but I don't wanna die here I may seem boring but I'm just bored as fuck They hollow heads, basic and misled I feel stuck What you doing man, You flying too close to the ground If you stay in that mindset you're forever stuck in this town What you doing man, You flying too close to the ground If you stay in that mindset you're forever stuck in this town I got my Nikes on open up the gates Let's bounce to Babylon buy some real estate Gotta get away, gotta make an escape Wanna be something great gotta throw out them roaches in the ashtray I got my Nikes on open up the gates Let's bounce to Babylon buy some real estate You got your hats, you got your bumper stickers Can your opinions grow any bigger? You must make it known we're all wrong and we're all sinners Can the Apocalypse come any quicker? Ride until I die your disapproval in the corner of my eye Bitches Brew playing loud when I fly by Fuck a closed mind I'm elevated beamin bright What you doing man, You flying too close to the ground If you stay in that mindset you're forever stuck in this town What you doing man, You flying too close to the ground If you stay in that mindset you're forever stuck in this town I got my Nikes on open up the gates Let's bounce to Babylon buy some real estate Gotta get away, gotta make an escape Wanna be something great gotta throw out them roaches in the ashtray I got my Nikes on open up the gates Let's bounce to Babylon buy some real estate

Everyone on Earth is a full blown narcissist Ya'll on some lame shit I don't want any part of it You paint an idle lifestyle but your so fucking far from it Your egos your placebo You want the world to think you're marvelous You get the clicks, you got your fix The only way you keep a grip Is by counting likes on your pics By creeps and online therapists Stop being an asshole, stop it with the hassle On everything factual Ya'll aint really livin I just wanna be around those on some real shit No fake friends, no pretend, no phantom feelings I just wanna be around those on some real shit No fake friends, no pretend, no phantom feelings I'm a sarcastic bastard that you cannot annoy any faster You're out of your element Donny, Why you being so dastard It's a task to relate when I don't care to participate Why the hell would I wanna be a part of this social race Movement automation, I'm lost in translation Bill Murray come and save me I've been testing my patience Is this the Twilight Zone? Can I please just stay home? You putting dedications to the wrong destinations We're now the generations that needs phone to make a statement So counterfeit but complacent Do it all for entertainment You're just digital dirt, why the fuck you the center of your own fixation? I just wanna be around those on some real shit No fake friends, no pretend, no phantom feelings I just wanna be around those on some real shit No fake friends, no pretend, no phantom feelings I can't pinpoint how to blend in Take me back to Mars I feel like Marvin the Martian Eyes are wide open, like Jules in Pulp Fiction Burning webs down with just a little bit of friction Am I a bad person to have no enthusiasm for a shallow conversation? Do I really gotta hear this shit again? Aint trying to fuck with your feelings But I don't really give a damn about your opinions I wish Cecil would of eaten you, Harambe had a jetpack Intentions so narrow and we on a setback Sincerity adrift, I'm scrolling through the mist Your caliber desperately missed With your lies caught in a twist The sky's looking down at a fist Snapping bones to make a wish the sky's looking down at a fist Snapping bines to make a wish

Holy Hell 04:16
It's been hard for me to understand What's the primary plan Thing's getting out of hand I'm bout to fly off this wasteland There's too many morons on this planet I can't stand it You showing true colors so I set fire to the canvas Where's the connection at man I demand it We on different frequencies this is going nowhere We stuck in traffic We live in an era of chumps This groove aint for everyone Ya'll baked your minds in the sun Wake me up when all this is done I've just realized I'm in the wrong place This party aint for me Ya'll yap away, my head stay absentee Internet gangstas, privileged fools Raised up eating food on their parents laps with silver spoons You think you bad but crying like a wah pedal when the beat stomps on you Doctor Doom, I'm airing out the fumes We due for something new We become what we choose You either a bitch, or you keep it cool Don't get your head bruised, Tripping over yourself trying to reach the roof We live in an era of chumps This groove aint for everyone Ya'll baked your minds in the sun Wake me up when all this is done I've just realized I'm in the wrong place This party aint for me Ya'll yap away, my head stay absentee Don't become a villain trying to overcome the struggle Hiding behind a mask wanting to watch it all crumble Don't become a villain trying to overcome the struggle Hiding behind a mask wanting to watch it all crumble Living in a holy hell Wether you succeed, wether you fail

Shapes 04:17
Cruising the fury road in my post apocalyptic swag I'm cutting holes in the bottom of your money bag You ain't got no cash and neither do I You that shit go fast the price of life always multiply But loot don't rule my world Paper chasing can be a curse Magnesium, I stay lit I been cool as Miles since birth You thought I was a jerk but I'm just your favorite introvert I observe and don't say much unless I'm writing the next verse Stand on the edge so you can see the center Are you phenomenal or are you just a pretender? Thats your choice, this a choose your own adventure Question everything Let the wonder tug your shoulder Question everything Mystery be your controller Question everything Let your energy be your shofar You can limit yourself when forever is over Always on my sci-fi shit and my conscience is my compass Burning buds and palo santo steady cruisin in the focus What is this thing called life? Draped in spider silk we rollin with the punches The business of escapism has always been my motive Let's stay moving onto better things Let's not sit being bitter beings Gotta keep it golden, gotta keep your wheels in motion Marty Mcflyer than a mothafucka Fired eyed boy but my scene aint broken Don't crawl under the bed because a little thunder We learn to fight here in California Stand on the edge so you can see the center Are you phenomenal or are you just a pretender? Thats your choice, this a choose your own adventure Question everything Let the wonder tug your shoulder Question everything Mystery be your controller Question everything Let your energy be your shofar You can limit yourself when forever is over Been around here too long Ya'll gonna miss me when I'm gone I speak truth so we don't get along I aint a puppet, aint nobodies pawn Freak out like Zappa Ima float on Don't give a damn if I don't belong Still gonna blaze it in the beyond Get the fuck off let me write my songs Victim of circumstance Water your brain like you water your plants Put you in a spiral Coltrane style so you understand I am what I am that don't mean that I am damned You just a broken star on the side of Hollywood Blvd You can't change your ways until you tear yourself apart Some of ya'll have really lowered the bar It's like we've looped back to the start Ya'll sleeping straight through your alarms so Stand on the edge so you can see the center Are you phenomenal or are you just a pretender? Thats your choice, this a choose your own adventure Question everything Let the wonder tug your shoulder Question everything Mystery be your controller Question everything Let your energy be your shofar You can limit yourself when forever is over Question everything Let the wonder tug your shoulder Question everything Mystery be your controller Question everything Let your energy be your shofar You can limit yourself when forever is over Been around here too long Ya'll gonna miss me when I'm gone I speak truth so we don't get along I aint a puppet, aint nobodies pawn Freak out like Zappa Ima float on Don't give a damn if I don't belong Still gonna blaze it in the beyond Get the fuck off let me write my songs

The key to life is privacy and comfortability I get it Whip out in the moonlight Windows down and heater on Bumpin Andre 3000 Don't be so timid I wish everyone would calm the fuck down I wish everyone would look for they head in lost and found I wish everyone would take the filter off and look around I wish everyone would just take they own routes I wish everyone would stop focusing on the wrong things I wish everyone would tell stories only worth telling I wish everyone wouldn't be so quick to show they fangs When they see you're not the same as them I dont wanna hear about it man, no excuses man Am I supposed to bummed I only have a handful of friends? Am I supposed to have highs and lows time and time again? Am I supposed to ignore the paper and let the ink dry up in my pen? Don't fall off the latter watch my head splatter Tried to put this out faster but I had more questions than answers How do you create a masterpiece if you don't have inner peace And somehow believe everything will turn out a disaster I look away for a second now I'm burning down the pasture I was grazing in the grass but that shit never lasts If you don't progress and evolve you can't come back So I keep my ears open so I can get my chance You gotta try hard if you wanna get far Riding with depression kick that bitch out your car (Pac said keep your head up lets keep it supreme like love) You're never gonna reach the stars if you're not yourself and emulate the stars Most of them don't even know who they are Hiding behind curtains from the start I can't be a pacifist if I aint afraid to ball a fist Life's a gas I'm a solid Aint a soul pusher just to be famous I aint callin quits while I'm alive on this planet Come on world lets do the twist We all got a wish that don't exist Change it up hit a switch Get yourself up out that shit Self doubt pulling you down is just the devils magic trick You know the drill fam, lets keep it real fam Let's keep it chill fam, you know the deal fam The key to life is privacy and comfortability I get it Whip out in the moonlight Windows down and heater on Bumpin Andre 3000 Don't be so timid

Fuzzy 01:40
Separated from the rest Elevated wide open chest Medicated hearts undressed We at our best You forget about the old When everything feels new Chamber of joy I'm feeling fuzzy with you

Feelz 04:39
Stumbling off course Opening and closing wrong doors Priorities and aspirations scattered across the floor I had seem to forget what I was walking towards I was misplaced in the fog, then you came along Followed a light out of a rut Made you my wife now I'm on a soul strut Heart beating like that shit was thunderstruck I never plan on leaving, got me floating to the ceiling This an everlasting feelings Clouds cleared up I like what I'm seeing What it's like to be wide eyed again You are my favorite human being I may be a mutt, but I get all the love My girl badder than bone, man She more than enough She take care of my mind She got my heart feeling fine It's gettin better with time Don't need a window to shine And I aint never call my girl a bitch Broke as fuck but still feeling rich Forever high on those hips I aint ever going back to them tricks No more running on empty like a gas tank I remember that moment we got our place down by the lake Now we live in a place up on a hill Every night Netflix and chill Saturday mornings surreal I may be a mutt, but I get all the love My girl badder than bone, man She more than enough She take care of my mind She got my heart feeling fine It's gettin better with time Don't need a window to shine I'm not the greatest person yeah I know it I got endless love for her but I don't know the proper way to show it She makes me that better person yea I fuck up yeah Im learning Nothing is perfect but it stay turning this fire still burning She stay by my side, my spirit feels alive We put in work, we put in time We gonna be alright It feels so damn good to feel so certain certain It feels so damn good to feel so certain certain

Slow it down you're going too fast Bury you in dust as seasons pass You want it to stop But instead it goes ahead We lose a memory we never wanted dead Time is my enemy My skulls been chillen on a gold mine for 30 years Through the squabble and the friction And puddles of doubt from underscored tears I've been doing this shit for a long while But I stay overlooked They be scared or in denial to get they spirits shook Fuck your bad form man I'm Captain James Hook Arch nemesis the hourglass a battle since childhood A rivalry straight out a comic book My favorite enemy You've never been a friend to me You leave me high and dry in places I never wanna be I lose track of days, as you love to fade away From the grape to the glass I watch everything pass I was left behind, I've got so much to do Excuse me Mrs. Time Im trying to get a hold of you We've lost signal, I've lost my mind We've lost signal, I've lost my mind We've lost signal, and I've lost my mind I just need a moment to get back on my grind We've lost signal, I've lost my mind Time is my enemy

Pops 03:41
Back and forth on some highs and lows How do memories turn to ghosts Been 10 years and I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel I don't wanna forget your voice I don't wanna forget your face But here I am fighting time losing my mind When all I wanna do is remember old days I know that you're still there Even though I can't see you I wanna hold onto every last moment left in my head Don't let me forget Hospital beds on Christmas We watched that Laker game, they won that season Wish you could of seen it You talked to me on the phone from your room Everything seemed it was gonna be fine But March 9th, 2009 a beaming bright light went out that nigh And I never got to say goodbye I know that you're still there Even though I can't see you I wanna hold onto every last moment left in my head Don't let me forget Nothing was ever gonna be the same That night everything went upside down Everything was gonna change And now all the years have passed on but I still think of you everyday How do you process loss Try to fill in a blank spot Giving it my best shot I owe so much to you Pops But I could still use some direction My head still filled with questions Obscured in my own reflection Can I get a sign am I doing ok? I've got some shoes to fill though time still hasn't healed You put me on this music trip so I'm climbing up this hill

Dust Kids 04:23
V town, the home that we grew up in Southern Cali-forn-I-A The High Desert sure is something Hustling and roaming the streets Do what you do to make them funds increase At the carnival we rumblin with the police Then we start runnin from them Sitting in a jail cell I aint saying nothin The crew is all I'm trustin When we was cruisin and cloud bustin But then we get busted It started with just a joy ride Now we missing dinner tonight Shoulda stayed under that porch light Nobody gonna pay that bail price Only time will tell, Only time will tell, Only time will tell Dust blowing in the wind Bertha screaming loud at her mans again She about to kick him out Cisco Kid playing in the background The block mostly black and brown Wipe the dirt off our skin we still proud Just a bunch of Bebe's Kids in hand me downs Running around the town Only time will tell, Only time will tell, Only time will tell Laundry out on the clothesline Pink and blue in the skyline 69 degrees, September breeze, 6'clock is the timeline Scents of fresh painted cars Cassete spinning Santanas guitar 144 spoked on the lowrider Drenched in velvet with chrome handlebars Watching the sun go down Memories so vivid and loud My blood runs thick in the streets of this town But I've hit a point where I feel this stretch has run out Change is crucial if you wanna keep the flow We're meant to shift like seasons and sounds And in between we should never forget what we owe I remember every story every time I come back around

Space is the place where I wanna be I dipped out early cause I didn't wanna showcase every single part of me Three decades in, and here I am still trying to adjust Who the hell do I reach out to? Who the fuck do I trust? They say all you need is love But it don't take much to see your bluff It's a social game to get through those speakers to show what you're made of Product of a kid watching Beat Street and Dark Crystal in the same night Put on Pops records, turn on the Nintendo We having a game night A DJ who wanted his son to make jams for a living A nerdy brown kid from a desert town was down for that vision It's been a drawn out mission But I still got rhythm and ambition Put in work for some listens Now tell me how you really feeling? I wanted to be part of the party Then I realized that aint a part of me Im a brown recluse, sometimes blue A well reserved oddity And thats ok with my with me Eventually I'll find my scene I got my fam, I got my queen Aiming to make music and get cheese So I can finally roll in an 81 Beamer Smoking weed and turning keys To a dope house just a 20 minute cruise from the city But if I sold my soul I could never forgive me A dreamer dreaming big but still filled with pride and envy They want you to be a big shot, but really you pinching pennies The party is international but the room be feeling empty Promoting yourself like some kind of brand I can't really comprehend All I know music is my religion I only wanna make the room dance I guess Im just a dreamer Yea I guess I'm just a dreamer Im no different than the rest of the people On the ongoing hunt for rhyme and reason My head roams with nowhere to go At least I got my girl and my goals when I get home I've got so much to show But I feel better when I put down my phone My head roams with nowhere to go At least I got my girl and my goals when I get home I've got so much to show But I feel better when I put down my phone
