So high I got my head through the roof No lie, in search for some conceptual truth Or a record of proof that shows that I am not lost Neither hot nor cold and yet still in the ballpark I'm so close to the treasure, I can feel it in my chest Fake lies from fake friends, I'm real enough to guess That any minute there's a sucker born I will be not under your thumb Such a war inside my brain's a thunderstorm There's many a things to forget Chest tightens like a corset One fell swoop, this hell loop, I'll tell you I'm held to the standard I set for myself, text in my cortex You're next in the order, I'm feeling peckish No angel is on my shoulder, hell yeah I'm feelin' hellish I'm dwellin' inside a fire that is burning me up This maelstrom in my head, it is churning me up This half a joint I smoked, it is turning me up I just thought of another bar, that's a flurry of 'em They're coming in supersonic, better hurry it up Not talking about Seattle, but I'm sure it's a Buck Cause I'ma keep it one hundred, I just believe that I'm something And I'ma never waste the band like my shirt when it's tucked So hit the drums, gimme bass, and a pen and a pad Shouts to Big Ax-beat, you know I get it from B.A.D Never been the one to call I'm feeling wonderful Always been the one to fall Fall right in your arms So I look up at the stars Feel the pain that's in my heart I don't wanna go I don't wanna go Can't breathe through a stuffy nose It'll come to blows if we fighting over compass rose Different times, on another road It goes up in smoke, fickle mind is a domino I keep falling and falling, all the patterns you see Maybe it's subconscious or habitually A critical plea, Don't help me with construction cause I'm building a fleet To sail these turbulent seas Ensure that I don't drown in my personal beef Afflicted with self-confliction A mission I felt impossible till I took what I had bottled up Tossed it overboard and felt the relief I wanted from The moments of doubt louder than a siren Finally found the wisdom of the flower in my iris Don't forget me not, don't forget me, now Just remember how I got to the spot I wanted and I didn't fizzle out Don't be mad that I'm gone, indifferent, I'm gettin' out As soon as I figure out myself and this friggin' map It's torn and faded, worn and jaded The wars are raging, the battle's on But I'm sure the shores are waiting Stained with blood red protection All of this bloodshed, but what's the direction I look around and all I see is the tree-line Guess I'll wait for night and to see Polaris in the mean-time Never been the one to call I'm feeling wonderful Always been the one to fall Fall right in your arms So I look up at the stars Feel the pain that's in my heart I don't wanna go I don't wanna go

I'm a five course meal, y'all are animal slop I am the man for the job, higher than canopy tops Playing picture perfect D, get my hand in your shot You had cinematic dreams but the planet forgot, whoa Take a stack, I am steady getting paper back Like I'm writing my book and I get major flack But the general concensus it's a private matter I got that higher power diamond flower hybrid shatter Feelin' squeaky clean, peachy keen, we gon' see Who the fuck been stabbin' my back, sneaky fiends Like the shaking of tree limbs is making me see things Hallucinatin' worries gonna blow like a bee sting Flip me the bird, you better back up like Sichting World so dense, not even the sun can heat this So give it a minute to catch its breath, for fuck sake I ain't never seen a tough break so difficult No hands for these Fruedians slipping I'm a voice of a generation, impossible mission But I'm feeling myself bigly, quickly Tie my shoelaces together but I am knot tripping Got a vision that's not set in stone Whatever blows I took, I never show the scars beneath my bitter soul Winters go and come and still I'm cold, so I'm feeling no Remorse for the demons that lay defeated, I'm a victor, so I put my hands in the air, fist pump triumphant For once in my life, maybe I can be something Other than my own captor, set me free And let me be me cause we are not on the same frequency Let's settle this thing peacefully Recently, I feel as if you ain't had the decency To even fight fair But that's fine, cause I'm an insomniac's worst nightmare Caught in the crosshairs, lost at the crossroads Probably not fair, all that I control Is out of my hands now, the sands of time Grip me too tight and I stand defiant Can't decide between the left or right Exercise, keeping this shit extra tight So I can maneuver before I end up a Hoover Before my life wanes down and my friendship behooves ya To be a better man, I'm a lost cause waiting Whether God's got favorites, a hellscape to suit ya Look at me, that's some '13 shit Not Apollo but the years, where the decade went? Sharpened my craft, get a cut of the cheddar Feeling under the weather but ready to rain down on ya Hundreds of letters in nanoseconds to bump Turn 'em into bars, let the radio thump

Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong I love it here I love it here Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong It's so lonely at the top, though It's a nice view looking down around Ah da da da And I know we're going down Oh fuck I need to take charge like Draymond Hit green whenever I fucking make songs Play god with the pen, then I make off in a whip Drawing the short straw don't take long, though Got a comfy position, my flow'll never quit Know I'm heaven sent, so I'm better than Myself, so why you bet against? Feasting upon these beats like I'm at Bennigan's Fuck is you thinking, you so intelligent, otherwise No surprise that your nose is blind Stepping in all that shit has got you polarized So it's time to notify your next of kin Your death be swift, your head be split The redness drips, I likes the cut of your gib Sunken abyss, ah Is where you're going if you gonna take shots at me I'm bombastic, my actions extend beyond savage Tragic, cause y'all haven't embraced the true power Of this wizardry spun, circle above until I splatter Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong I love it here I love it here Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong It's so lonely at the top, though It's a nice view looking down around Ah da da da And I know we're going down Oh fuck OK now I'm inspired Cause I feel what it's coming to I need to reach for the fire And steal it from under you Cause I've had the hunger too Ever since I put out Hunger 2 So it ain't nothin new Cause as soon as I touch a groove I really get to busting loose Like I got something to prove So I go hulk on them Like brother what you gonna do When I run with these styles Wicked, vile, sickest mind whenever I'm on the mic Kick these rhymes, hit the lights Witness I'm on the rise with this shine Like I'm on a mission to get what's mine When I strut and smile on this mic While I put some mileage on This hobby like I got a job to do And if you got a problem with it That just gives me rocket fuel Cause I'm goin off Like I'm out the stratosphere I'm outta here Off the bat for the stats Like that's a wrap But don't get mad Cause I'll be back To stack em up Like a ladder rung I hear God calling I'm off to find where it's coming from Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong I love it here I love it here Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong It's so lonely at the top, though It's a nice view looking down around Ah da da da And I know we're going down Oh fuck My fate is an open casket... it remains to be seen Hope is magic, hope is tragic, so I'm asking We don't seem like god's favorites to me? People say, hmm, something is wrong with him The way that he acts might make him a Bond villain I got a vision, so thank you crooked politicians At Tazza Kitchen just washing dishes Just to keep up with the cost of living This life feels like a competition but I'm just chilling About to hit a million for every billionth bar I've written But something's missing when I look into the mirror Oh yeah, my fucking demons cause I'm thinking so clear They just cause division, and multiply the effects Life in green screen, without applying FX The reasons beat me, so when I try to protect I feel like Iron Man, got that fucking light in my chest, like Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong I love it here I love it here Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong It's so lonely at the top, though It's a nice view looking down around Ah da da da And I know we're going down Oh fuck

Stormchaser 04:52
The moon is buried behind the storm clouds It's just the cherry on top that I'm so worn out Yearning for the chaotic, am I gonna be a problem? I'm sure I'll come back around but then I flee like a comet There won't be a tomorrow for any crews of Apollo Chasing a storm, drained by the blues in my bottle Couldn't bother to fall apart, it's not enough Return my atoms to dust, when I rocket up and try to touch The light beams when they conquer me And dance around on the silver screen The galaxies see me in this dream And wrap their arms around me in peace I set sail on the solar wind Don't look down but now I think I'm over it At a shoulder width, was a growing kid A man with no clue, suppose it is Just the things that time gives way to Like eroding a hillside to show us what made you If it's the flood, then it means we are take two Fallen to my knees like an angel, it ain't true Then I remembered that nothing could phase you Thanks for the vessel, the earth is a great view Beautiful skies, music and highs Learning to breathe for the moments that save you Tune into life and use all the vibes Surely that means that we hope for the day you Chase That storm inside, that storm inside That storm inside, you Chase Never gonna find, no, never gonna find, no Never gonna find what you wanna find Chase, that storm And even so What happens when you catch that storm? What happens when you catch that storm? Pardon me, I'm just trying to get a good seat to the show Cause we gonna blow like a supernova We the winner so a fist is what you can hold up Heating the whole world with the fire inside Eyes gonna pry, the truth the boulder's Getting way less heavy each day I do this Angel on earth, you might say I'm foolish The angle the curvature will take when the sunsets Leaves me in a rut, yet I may be stupid Enough to look up instead of looking down Chin up, King, you got a crooked crown Take one step and then I shook the ground Guess I'm bigger than I thought, man I'm cooking now I'm a giant and y'all are on my shoulders, nice So screw it, I'ma roll the dice Life's a game of craps and this shit can lose me I'm sick of being hit just to heal the bruises I'm feeling useless, almost to the point where I'm kneeling through this A modicum of hope is what I need to do this Overrun, I sober up, I keep the juice in My battery pack, and as a matter of fact My notebook in my backpack is madder than hat Gettin' so stoned I'ma shatter the glass Itching to stitch up the rat in the pack I do it for the game not a pat on the back Got a sitcom album cause we laugh at your tracks You got a lot of nerve hitting your funny bone The will to be a wildebeest, listen, my stomach groans I'd kill to eat an acre, the ache is afloat Let me give it to you straight, I am maybe the goat Chase That storm inside, that storm inside That storm inside, you Chase Never gonna find, no, never gonna find, no Never gonna find what you wanna find Chase, that storm And even so What happens when you catch that storm? What happens when you catch that storm?

It's just you and me, girl Beneath the sky Whether rain or shine I got you by my side When I look into your eyes All I see is paradise Ohhh If time is a construct, I'm tearing it down Just give me a second to get aware of surroundings I will just not budge it, hop out of a moving truck Where will I flounder? Kinda fishy I'm suiting up Ready for the fight of my life I will light up the night I am the writer of my plot Give me time to just find what I will define Let me grow on the vine Then you crush me hard and turn me into your wine No wonder I always bottle shit You get my lunar drift, my dear apologist? I don't fear what I can't control Just wasted love and meatloaf casserole But as a whole I'd rather focus on the moments in front of me Build a sandcastle, not worry 'bout the waves Coming to topple it No wonder I always bottle shit No wonder it's Armageddon the second my heart is bet against Heaven-sent, led amiss, stepped in shit But bet this kid, gon' Let me fix that But bet this man gonna bloom through the asphalt A real hope staying true to the last bar It feels dope saying you have a vast heart It's real smoke taking you to the glass wall Like the edge of a snowglobe Tap on the glass and pretend you don't know though How I wish I didn't peek the curtain You know how it is, I had to see for certain Disclosure, belief is worthless Digging real deep cause the heat can hurt ya Choking up, it's like seizing words We all change as the seasons urge Then they come back around with a meakish smirk A treasure that we can search I got a gut feeling it's beneath the earth So if you dig this then kick it let's grab a shovel and dig it It's something to think of, go get it, whatever the vision I mean it, you picture it, image it Gather the strength and the muster to sprint for it Give it your all, and then I took off Uhhh, you just gotta look hard Right where we are Right where we are Right where we are Right where we are It's just you and me, girl Beneath the sky Whether rain or shine I got you by my side When I look into your eyes All I see is paradise Ohhh
