Lyrics added below

I swerve in and out of one lane
trynna find beauty in the mundane
mistake happiness for numbed pain and complain
become chained to constraints
circumstances unchanged
this my sunday service

back to spit the gospel truth
my noteapps the book of doom, back to my comic roots
zoom meetings w the office suits
we grow the seeds they show up autumn just to harvest fruits

WNTR droppin soon-
I kept it under wraps, they want the whole seasons pack like a ramen soup

I been avoidin me cause I can feel a void in me
Dont play coy w me, thick skin like the bark of a sequoia tree
How can I make this point poignantly?
I'm finished wasting time wishing I was someone I still got the choice to be

Hit A boiling point in Boyle Heights
like a diamond back in Caballero Canyon coiled when I'm poised to strike

Walking bad omen
For my native land stolen
And my Black Panthers, rest in piece Chad Bozeman
These ya last moments
Eric Brooks meets Bram Stoker,
BLADE in my hand like Old Man Logan
masked shogun, last ronin
climbin out of this pit, felt like Batman w his back broken,


Severed ties, ain't no true hell without hope
How so? dog in me- pissy in this house broke
Big dog, pissed off yeah I been gone
they missed me, I been withdrawn now they got withdrawals

W Avo At the gym working off a pandemic
Depression trynna catch a 30 but i cant let it
Shit I Cop the whip in cash I dont have credit...
But I max out on any beat my voice touch
If u wanna stand out, avoid us
Was either Rap or hoop and I got- No Jumper like my boy Lush

I glide across the SFV
been the best should feel blessed if u the next best thing
Squatter rights how I'm living in they heads rent free

All the gossip, fuck rap yall shld Blog instead
buncha cry babies bottle fed
One big Sewing circle, thats why we dont share a common thread

Aint no Outliers in sight
Just trynna give an outsiders insight

Then Pat passed and in the weeks coming
A fan said he felt a way that I aint tweet nothin
Guess I dont' think of social media to grieve someone
I guess the sucka free idea never reached someone


Imagine me showing up to a strangers funeral
and telling the friends and family they aint cry enough
And u wonder why im tucked, dont need that kinda love
plus the shit still raw like designer drugs
Cried a river caused a giant flood now its dry enough - got me Fired up burning viaducts


All That Whining sound like sirens on a firetruck
Underdog’s, Put ya team on ice like the mighty ducks
My mind Electrifying like get lightning struck twice at once
I got the Midas touch
I'll Crush a comet into diamond dust,
Dying breed I’ll skin a rhino for its ivory tusk
When its time to hunt, tell me time flies...

catch it mid flight, quick strike pit viper
Got it locked under pressure, My pen like a pits bite
yea I been gone just trynna live life
had to throw some jabs in this quick write/right
Cause Aint no outliers in sight
Just trynna give an outsiders insight- illy
