Say Less

Sleep at the chirpin' of birds Hours been passin' me by How wondrous to actually fly Straight to the masses we lie Patiently packin' disguise Younger me askin' to die Drownin' in mirror debates Basically basin' the clearin' of bases On hearin' the snare and the bass Bearin' disgrace in the face of opinions Ain't nobody askin' for me Rakin' my claws, through the shakes and applause But the claps is muddy Break through the walls to attain the resolve And attach the govvy Niggas known to miss for ownership Pray that a hole exists And fall prey to the hopefulness Show grace when we open gifts Still laugh 'cause I'm so convinced In this session, notions shift In this method, roles are dense They will stretch 'em, soles are ripped We still steppin', Mike Jack, moonwalk to avoid the past You can't be over shit you still checkin' Roll a six, and praise those who control events The same camp and the flow intense Deep breath when the dough is spent Make amends with my soul before we blow like an open vent You see there's more to life than mortifying memory creation Compress the waves inside of you and melodies escapin' I try my best to never second guess a single step So when they see me at my best, they'll be nothin' short of impressed Told the homies we gon' go far Scream it to the whole yard Simple showmanship could be a show off Holy matrimony to the motion never hold us Stick to right, and niggas left like we play with broken controllers Tough to focus through commotion, I suffer through devotion I numbed myself to ruckus, let the public feel emotion Post up against depression, resolve it writing scripture Still roll up to the gram and slang post-traumatizing pictures No peace of mind will get ya I grasp it where I can, through leaps of faith and keep away I swear, I'm just a man And if my spirit leaves today And death should make demands I'll know I stood for something if it catch me where I stand Slow days, fake stress Big smile, hate text No show, faux flow Go slow, play chess Break downs, paycheques New day, same mess Face to face with a better me He said, "Do more, say less" Less than invested in lessons I'm learnin' I never belonged here My enemies strong here In the quest to dissolve fear I've been tacklin' panic, can't understand it I'm manic, and magically manage to muscle it into advantage Aware of the rustlin' Scannin' the planet Empowerin' paranoia when it's beggin' for ya Put the stress in order Walking in hand with my demons, they keep me alive Done with dismantlin' trauma 'cause the innocence never be mine Character flaws and the cracks in the armor Been makin' it harder to get 'em behind Juggle my fate on a tape in their faces and let 'em rewind Every time I indulge in a moment of clarity, I feel anxiety hit Try to repent for the pain I done caused Put all the people 'round me Through the field of battle while internally fightin' a war The feelin' unnerving And though, I still feel underservin' of shit that they try to award Older me gesturing Blessin' the will to engage the bazaar Granny praying if the lord willin' To adore winning 'til it's all finished Can't ignore feelin' like I made it through doors Slippin' through the cracks, then I hit the floor Spilling on the tracks, livin' off endorphins They adore him, then ignore him, singin' more hymns Know the law dim How the universe balance proportions Slow days, fake stress Big smile, hate text No show, faux flow Go slow, play chess Break downs, paycheques New day, same mess Face to face with a better me He said, "Do more, say less" Slow days, fake stress Big smile, hate text No show, faux flow Go slow, play chess Break downs, paycheques New day, same mess Face to face with a better me He said, "Do more, say less" Slow days, fake stress Big smile, hate text No show, faux flow Go slow, play chess Break downs, paycheques New day, same mess Face to face with a better me He said, "Do more, say less" Slow days, fake stress Big smile, hate text No show, faux flow Go slow, play chess Break downs, paycheques New day, same mess Face to face with a better me He said, "Do more, say less"
