So much on my mind I just can’t recline
Blastin' holes in the night 'til she bled sunshine
Breathe in inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out peace grows in my mind tonight
Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it all, I can feel the zen leaking
Chest heavin', against the flesh of the evenin'
The sigh before we die like the last train leavin
{Verse 1 - AlexandreTheGreat}
I tap into my inner essence, keep it kicking and gripping,
but I don’t fall out with the booth like MJ did with Scottie Pippen,
I’m mic tripping, I’m rap living, fact checking every step they take till my career is nothing but check living,
So check it spitting hardcore rhymes like Wu Tang did best protect your neck
Before you lose your deck, I ain’t the one to project, cause I’m the one that’s the threat,
It’s me and Wej and the careers we wreck. Like Ralph, I won’t stop still Im dripped in Lauren,
but also moving like I’m Curtis when he finds his Lauren
It’s a matter of time before the tables have turned and we reminisce from the papers we earned
I’m in my essence of peace, the sound check is my feast
I wanna roll in ps, but also roll in peace,
I manifest my destiny as you truly see gather up my energy meditate with the trees
{Hook}
So much on my mind I just can’t recline
Blastin' holes in the night 'til she bled sunshine
Breathe in inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out peace grows in my mind tonight
Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it all, I can feel the zen leaking
Chest heavin', against the flesh of the evenin'
The sigh before we die like the last train leavin
{Verse 2 - Jack Ganzo}
Glass smashing
That’s what I’d force
If my thoughts allow me to pour out my defensive thorns
My stress scale increases drastically
My problem is my demonic shoulder masters me
Medically hidden in a self bettering factory
I’d take the help but I lash out lavishly
Retract the hands reaching out to me and then blame it on my salary
In full control yet asking ‘how could this happen to me’
Wish a shrug could stop it
Finding difficulty targeting a topic
What if I lived out a comic?
A short conclusion cus I’m giving up before I’ve even featured on it
Fuck the world is my ringtone, feeling powerless
Movie living and it isn’t glamorous
Can’t be zen cus meditation causes interruptions
My eye curtain made me think I can’t function
Tryna walk elegantly but it’s just egg shells
Beneath my feet, walking without a thought never ends well
Is realism something my mind can take
Or will it hit me when I’m writing and I’m feeling fake
Watch check to see what time I’m on
The devil’s clock or a stomp to make me think I’ve flopped
But that’s wrong cus I know immediate listens result in half cocks
{Hook}
So much on my mind I just can’t recline
Blastin' holes in the night 'til she bled sunshine
Breathe in inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out peace grows in my mind tonight
Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it all, I can feel the zen leaking
Chest heavin', against the flesh of the evenin'
The sigh before we die like the last train leavin
{Verse 3 - Awej}
Legs crossed head locked on pent up emotions
When love’s in a potion I send up to the Odin
The trees breathe and we see them stuck in their motion
Never envious eat sleep repeat cos we need
The belief to be boys like beastie and head spin like TT
I’m friendly on mps I bend beats I’m an mc
I stand out a hand grenade in a mine field
I stand today A candidate in a cycle
Orange attire with the head shaved and in silence
Stopping to buy the next wave that I rely on
The x-rays gimmie the best ways to end pain
I stand cool with the drums like a sensei with a djembe
The zen way is my end game
I cleaned the mirror cos distortion is reality
Now I see it clearer
Mindful power is a bright sight to behold like the Eiffel Tower
Now I see it nearer
How are we in fear of perceptions of ourselves?
It takes over like injections of our wealth
Respect I haven’t felt til the LEDs were powered well
Maybe I still haven’t but I’m taking the wheel crashing
This a counselling session just in time
For the battles in question tell me how has it lessened?
Since the frowns and the stressing to the wows and the head spins
I’m allowed to accept it’s a now or a never not a cloud or a wetter just a crown with your head up
This an alphabet stretcher the journey to the ancestors in heaven
That stand next to your friends and plans get to just ending
Your trust seems to just dwindle plus dreams are a thimble
Away from dust needles in haystacks
Until beats are in playback and silk sheets what your brain stays laying at
Can’t vacate or forget I tame rhythms LA based like rain man
{Hook}
So much on my mind I just can’t recline
Blastin' holes in the night 'til she bled sunshine
Breathe in inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out peace grows in my mind tonight
Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it all, I can feel the zen leaking
Chest heavin', against the flesh of the evenin'
The sigh before we die like the last train leavin
