Direction, Pt. II

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

Hybrid (Freestyle)
03:29

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

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?

Beneath The Sky
03:37

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
