Megalith (Intro)

If I could move boulders, then I wouldn't be Sisyphus
I could be Atlas insisting I deliver this
Globe to its rightful spot, atop Orion's spur
And that's a statement of which I concur
I write these words, my mind's absurd
It's like I'm running outta time, I'm just trying to be heard
So I dig deep in my atoms
Trying to find what I fathom
I know somewhere there is passion
A bastion of pace, lastly the pieces to the puzzle
Apparently I'm no good at
Termites in home, run, you might hear that wood crack
When they push you, you better push back
Only take the high road for better aim
I'm just playing, it is not conducive
It's what we choose when we're at heaven's gates
So I better get my head on straight
Twist it a little tighter, get higher, and I levitate
Hit my damn cieling and wow, I elevate
Yeah, then I shoot for the stars
Pass by the moon and Mars
Not looking where I'm going and turn around only to find that I'm way too far
Oh my God
Then I see a glimmer of hope, and it's gold
And it's coming towards me, and is this
Is this the key
Am I in the deep
Is it gonna drag me down?
Is it gonna pull me under?
Take my breath away
Get you a new life
And fresh air
That's classic
Yeah, that's classic
I'm Eric Dutton
How Am I Alive
The album
Serenade on the beat
If you panic, you might drown
If you panic, you might drown
If you panic, you might, you might, you might
If you panic, you might drown
If you panic, you might drown
If you panic, you might, you might, you might
Raise your glasses to the cieling, let's toast to this
This world-ender that barely missed, overhead
It was supposed to hit, we barely got a scratch
Where my God is lacking, they make up for in tact
I know my Father's here chilling, while I'm in my zone
Thinking for a sign, I know, you flipped up that pinecone
Time goes at an alarming rate
Trying not to snooze my way through, the darkest place
My heart can break, hell, everyone knows this
I better be hopeless, else I'm tellin' a joke when
I tell you that I'm ready to fucking go there, ugh
I'm ready to blast off, just strapped on to the front of a rocket
Shoot for the moon, if I miss then I'm up in the stars, aye
Let our heartstrings say
Let our heartstrings tell our story
I'm going in circles I can't find it
G-going in circles I can't find it
Yeah going in circles I can't find home
Can't find home
I'm getting dizzy cause I made myself believe
That time keeps coming after me
I'm losing sleep, I wake up cold
I just don't know
Where to go from here cause the night sky
Is getting blacker by the day and daylight's
Striking me in my dreams and I wake up cold
My heart is made of gold
But right now it's made of stone
Heavy strings and I'm starting to erode
I feel it in my bones
And my home, I just don't know
Where the night sky is fading away
Say hello to the sun...

LOSING SLEEP
Prod. by Tellingbeatzzz
My head's spinnin' like a galaxy arm
I've penned writtens, spit venom that is actually odd
Because at first I didn't know that what you asked of me caught
Me off guard, we aren't all the same but...
Because the garden of eden is really ours but we treat it
With disrespect cause in the end it's just our hearts steady beatin'
Along the path of where the water flows,
I oughtta know despite my ignorance that this all I show
I saw the coast, but all along the coast was never clear
But every year I make the promises of where I call my home
Take it all, I'm all alone. Uh.
I hate it but I deal with it,
It's been real since I realized just how realistic
I have been my entire life, and since I can try it twice
I'll try it again before my eyes go blind and I die inside
My oh my, I wake up in a cold sweat
I've been losing sleep
I think I've lost my mind
I need to calibrate
Before I cross that line
I've been losing sleep
I think we've gone too far
We need a satellite
I think we're lost in the stars
My legs sizzle with a colony of ants
This room feels like it's way too hot
So I flip the covers off, way too cold
Not talking middle fingers, but the torch is what they made you hold
Illumination in the darkness, I get it, I really do
I just hope that when I get to dream that I can dream of you
I'm feeling through with all the drama, you and me tomorrow
Gonna witness the sunrise, gleaming in your hair
We do not need the sorrow, breathing in fresh air
For the first time in what feels like a lifetime
My left brain finally chillin' in my right mind
You make me wanna take my mask off - Shy Guy
I love the green so I run to them hills
Every hit is beautiful, raise you up to my lips
Give you a little kiss, pull back in bliss
Open my eyes again, this is what you represent
I've been losing sleep
I think I've lost my mind
I need to calibrate
Before I cross that line
I've been losing sleep
I think we've gone too far
We need a satellite
I think we're lost in the stars
Runnin' outta time in the hour glass
Watching every hour pass, how is that?
I don't want the power back
I just wanna live a little, I just wanna love a lot
Through with all the indecision, sick of blowing up my spot
I just wanna toke a bunch, talk to me and open up
Tell me all your struggles and the obstacles you've overcome
Share with me your dreams, your hopes, your goals, hopefully
Together we'll achieve 'em and it'll be all you ever dreamed of
Let's fly to the moon and wish on a blue globe
Nothing lasts forever, that's something that me and you know
Set my sights on the open road
Unless I get hit by a Honda, I'ma die on my own accord
And if I'm gonna dig my grave, I'ma dig it all,
Cause it's worth the prize I saw inside the crystal ball
I thought I missed your call, I'm not mystical
I'm just happy that I'm chillin' all up in the stars
I've been losing sleep
I think I've lost my mind
I need to calibrate
Before I cross that line
I've been losing sleep
I think we've gone too far
We need a satellite
I think we're lost in the stars

MATANUSKA (ft. Mat Demaz)
Prod. by Serenade
Ahh... Eric Dutton is smoking weed
And making a song
Nature is healing
I wish I didn't know the fact
I cant stay another day
I want to know when you're around
But to move on is my fate
No more time to linger around
This time is locked in place
Following stars around the house
Plays our song once again
Last thing I need right now is a little voice in the back of my head
Screaming at me to get outta town
But everywhere I look I see a mountain peak
I try to climb to the top, but I end up tumbling down
I just wanted to grab a star, so elusive in the summer
When the winter comes cold, catch me looking upwards
Holding my breath cause it blocks me, yeah
In the yeard with the telescope you got me, Dad
My body's numb but my soul isn't
This piece of glass is a time machine, go figure
The speed of light is one hundred eighty six thousand miles a second
And that star is, uh, that far away
Do some quick maths, uhh, carry the one
Holy shit that's far
And I thought it was a long drive to my friend's house
So how the hell am I gonna get to the stars?
I was born in the wrong fucking time, I think
I wish I didn't know the fact
I cant stay another day
I want to know when you're around
But to move on is my fate
No more time to linger around
This time is locked in place
Following stars around the house
Plays our song once again
Harvest, the road where the spark was lit
Diligent artist sits, same house where dark exists
All I did was wake up and my Dad's dead
No walked in the park like past tents
The image imprinted, the vision of witnessing Holy Hell
CPR to no avail
Acute depression, I know it well
Wish me and my brother got along a little better
But we cool now, I should hit you up
And next time that we hang out, we'll get lit as fuck
We'll laugh and talk about the good days till the weed is gone
Then we'll probably call Mom, put her on speakerphone
That woman is tough, man, she's been through the ringer
She's full of love, Matanuska is where she still calls home
So I'ma climb to the top of the mountain
Grab the nearest star that I can
Climb down unscathed, give that shit to her and be like here
Thank you for everything, I love you
House of Misfits, a thousand wishes
I'd wish for all of you to have love and joy a hundred times over
Don't think I forgot about Leckwold or
How we lit up the shit like leftovers
But the dark and cold was eating us alive
Vitamin D, we fucking need it to survive
I don't blame you, leaving cause we tried
BFFF's, it's our beliefs against the night
We fight back, got the power of Gods
Taking our damn lives back and every hour we lost
How did we cross the threshold of depression
Best know that the lesson is ingrained in our demons
If they have any sense, they shan't return and I mean it
God damn
You know one of these days I need to make my way to Arizona
Hang the fuck out
I love you guys
I wish I didn't know the fact
I cant stay another day
I want to know when you're around
But to move on is my fate
No more time to linger around
This time is locked in place
Following stars around the house
Plays our song once again

ACROSS AN OCEAN ft Mat Demaz
Prod. by Serenade
I've been feeling like everything gon' be okay
Whoa
As long as I get far away from here
I just don't want my heart to break
That's the only thing I fear
So I fly, I fly away
Hopping on a plane to Australia
If something like that couldn't tell ya
I had no other option
No other option but failure
Sometimes it's just like
The story should've been me on a damn stage
Spittin' my soul out, seeing my Dad's face
He should still be alive, my soul deflated
Finding your father dead is severely overrated
Cause at the end of the day, even the sun sets
And if the stars are ablaze, I call it a success
Across an ocean, the pacific specifically
Don't know what got into me
Not a dream that I finna see
Whatever, that's history, clash enemies
Drinking a fifth of Jameson
Wine, coke and rum
Just to feel enough like I'm hope I'm buzzed
Miss you Dad, I won't sober up
This shot's for you, I can't overcome
I wished I believed in myself the way you believed in me
I'm falling apart, I rot with the scenery
Every vulture want a piece of me
I keep losing people, good people
The best of people, c'est la vie
I got your boy, Josie
Send love to Phil for me...
I've been feeling like everything gon' be okay
Whoa
As long as I get far away from here
I just don't want my heart to break
That's the only thing I fear
So I fly, I fly away
Hopping on a plane to Australia
If something like that couldn't tell ya
I had no other option
No other option but failure
Sometimes it's just like
Every album a canvas blank
Shots up for the shit that ain't happen
I'll make the planet shake
Way too much on tectonic plates
Ice heart, the Titanic sank
Nice, who do I have to thank?
The flight was like sixteen hours, meanwhile I reign supreme
I'm in the back, like if we crash
Then I guess my fate is just plain to see
Thinkin' if I dip again to fix my heartbreak
Insanity defintion, I'm in a dark place
I feel the stars fade, it's just a hallway
The walls can't actually close in, can they?
Touchdown, got the dopamine rushing
Hype to make an album that is hopefully something
I can bring back to the place that I'm from
I shine bright, no shade at the Sun
My soul, I'm aiming it up
My vessel in Kessel, a dangerous run
... But that didn't happen though
I had no idea that this the last year my Dad was home
If I knew, maybe I'da plan it different
But they took you, and left the whole planet different
And now me and Mat are both bonded that way
Hats off for the man that you raised
Serenade on the beat and support, we got your boy
I've been feeling like everything gon' be okay
Whoa
As long as I get far away from here
I just don't want my heart to break
That's the only thing I fear
So I fly, I fly away

All I see is black ice
And it's showing the way
I haven't made it but I'm almost there
It's a long way home
Just trust that I will be there someday
Because my journey takes me onward where
The only mantra that I've ever known
I hate to say but it's a place that I may never go
Looking for closure, via better roads
But it's just the way it goes, though
Headed the wrong way, but I never saw the signs
Had tunnel vision where I was in 2020 had me blind
Hope I'm ready for 2025
I need to get my oil changed otherwise my drive will not survive through troubled times
My way through life been guided by these little white and yellow lines
It took its toll but now I also got to pay the fine
My body paid the price
The engine almost died
But it stayed alive
The motor overheating so I hope it stabilize
Already left but I think I needed to take a right
I feel the bumps just like the blade of a serrated knife
There ain't no light so pray the stars will guide my way tonight
And for my safety so I may arrive
All I see is black ice
And it's showing the way
I haven't made it but I'm almost there
It's a long way home
Just trust that I will be there someday
Because my journey takes me onward where
At the start of the day, the sun rises
Sit in the shadows, so come find me
I was weak, playing hide and seek
With my own joy, my own voice was kinda beat
I can see that I'm about to trip
The call of the void, I don't avoid the slip
Stand up, I'm poised again
Pick your poison if you think it's divine
Going down to the final second, I'm ahead of my time, yeah
Can't handle your new job, that's a turnover
A lawn chair in the clutch cause you for sure fold up
Losing my mind, I turn the world over
DLo when I write, I keep my composure
Southpaw, y'all pray for my downfall
Ice in my veins, that's why I'm shooting it out cold
This is my coast, y'all chill in your alcove
I'm going all out, no fuel for the journey home

Cob webs in my head, searching the attic for something
God bless this nonsense, words in a panic it's nothing
It's just jumbled, Scrabble tiles, a jumble
Lightning and thunderstorms, a struggle
So many things that I juggle
Jenga, one slip, and I'm chillin' under the rubble
No white flag, just a bloody rag
Wiping my brow, getting up and fighting back
The time is right now, Eric D gonna share a secret
Cause Eric D gonna let you know where he keeps
Everything, make it easy, is it green, is it weed
Is it some type of alien enhanced tab of LSD
OG, is it DMT?
No, no, man it's me
Attempting to fire the missile
Into the sky with a brush, see just how high that it gets ya
Painting the space wall, making it rainfall
Turning it to ice like my angle is St. Paul
Not I wanna live, God how can I forgive
Myself for not doing the shit I wanted up as a kid?
High hopes and big dreams
Just hoops, no big screens
Twenty years later, I write till my pen bleeds
Underneath everything's a puzzle piece
And if I'm cornered, I will take you straight to the edge (and-one!)
A utopia how dope it feels to hold the pen, explode within
The flow is sick, y'all are NaCL, ocean wind
I turned the page and so begins
The story of me
Let it be told
Turning these words into gold
As I float through space and time
I see the nebula in your eyes
Oh you take me home
The one that we can't find
Your shine gives you away, girl
I wanna show you, take my hand
Head on your chest, tell that I'm stressed
Rubbing my back to extinguish the mess
Whatever it takes, I'll give you the world
The whole Universe is the shit you deserve
Just a man but I'm Eric D
Raise your glasses, I can barely see
All my life I was scared to be myself
Checkmate, walk aimlessly
In the desert drought, uh, my head is clouded
Till the ink rains down, that says it loud
Now the dirt is mud, drag my name through it no
Whatever it takes, stupid, whoa
Ad Astra, I aim to them, though
Wrong dimension
I don't appreciate your condescension
But you demons have no clue
No comprehension of my full potential
I'm Apollo, beyond that
Throttle, I got that
I am on top of that launchpad
Do it for Mom, Dad
Wish you were here
Jacob, don't worry, I'll bring souvenir
Shoot for the stars, see the moon in the rear
(Side note but my cat is being cute as hell right now)
Ain't that something, I'm a spaceman cometh
Determination is running in my veins
I'm under the highway, smoking a cone
Hoping to go my way is the high way, oh Lord
Dive straight into a pile of hybrids
Like my Prius is broke it's sitting idle in driveway
Just a man but I'm Eric D
Raise your glasses, I can barely see
All my life I was scared to be myself
But guess what, I'm the narrator now
The story of me
Let it be told
Turning these words into gold
As I float through space and time
I see the nebula in your eyes
Oh you take me home
The one that we can't find
Your shine gives you away, girl
I wanna show you, take my hand

The obligatory, "I'm back and it's been a minute
The track and I'm here to win it"
But really what I mean it's been sixty seconds
I'm intercepting your indiscretions
You miss your step and it messes with your head when
I'm attackin' your zone, then I kick it out for the shot
I know he's splashing it home, that boy Haze is a lock
If I ain't give none, then I ain't taking shit
See the night sky, where should I aim the ship?
Pick a star, let's go, let's roll
Let's go so far out we forget where we called home
Turn around, unable to find the blue globe floating
Don't think that I'm dead but the whole world ghosted
Running away from the problem
Gonna take shelter from thunder
I'm coming to rain till I blossom
Then hurricane winds torn asunder
My fire put the summer to shame
I cannot be doused, good vibes are on the house
Just the way I feel
Just the way I feel
Just the way I feel
Just the way I feel
Got a chance to spark this light,
Lemme park this car, start to write
This author vibe has stuck with me all this time
So each and every chance I get on this mic
I rock it right, and rocket right past ya
Gotta write faster, fucking up this game
Yeah I sodomize rappers
Pause, then I’m balling right after
Book it till I finish, yeah I’m on the right chapter
Picking the piece of the puzzle I’m on
Get to my feet and I’m brushing em off
Dusting em off of these tracks I laid em bare
And made a prayer to take it where
I only dreamed I ever could and never stood
I’m aiming there
Uh, so i guess it shouldn’t be surprising how I’m climbing
Out the pits that I was lying in, I’m trying to defy em
For the time I spent denying it, to honing it I’m striking with
The fire of some lightning and the power of a Midas flick

INTO THE ELEMENTS ft Second Verse
Prod. by Eric Dutton
Tommy Wiseau in a panic
Jodie Foster with a contact high
Chasing stacks, I am not that guy
I wanna combat strife
Cause every day it gives it to me
I'm sticking to it like my ballsack thigh
I wonder why I wander far and wide
To escape this feeling all the time
Like I'm only here to walk the night
And talk to light from stars a hundred thousand years away
Feeling higher than helium
Hydrogen smashed, flows wet, every breathe I take
The best I make, the West my fate
Yeah, I love to go spelunking for a treasure, just the chest I cave
Taking the best punches that this world can hit me with
I'm looking bored, no, rather indifferent
Take initiative, now I have two sets
I haven't won but I'm not ready to lose yet
I stay hot and I ain't even gotta use force
Not a tauntaun, barely keeping Luke warm
AU, let's both turn gold
And use our newfound hope to make the whole world grow
When the night wind is cold
And you're stuck, still as a stone
Feel the fire in your soul
And go out of your element
Into the elements
Y'all get nothing if I'm losing my will
Never defeated in the shoes that I fill
My true fate, I'ma prove that it's real
Into the elements, with the music and feel it
Snowy mountains, ice steps to the top
I bet we can talk chill when the heavens'll flop
The weather will stop, the temperatures for sure gonna drop
The world gonna cop, but the truth will out
The music's loud, the world gonna cap
And keep shaking till the surface gonna start to blast
Probably blow it's lid when the oceans start boilin'
We know how it ends but please, no spoilers
And when I reach the top and inevitably fall off
Gravity will place me right where I belong
And that's settled in nicely, still as a stone
Just remember I'm a lighthouse, Willem Dafoe
I got no enemies, I defeated the centerpiece
And the rest of the demons cower in fear of memories
Like here's the melody to descend the heavens on 'em
Reinforcements has never ever been a problem
When the night wind is cold
And you're stuck, still as a stone
Feel the fire in your soul
And go out of your element
Into the elements

HEAL
Prod. by Serenade
Do what you gotta do to heal
Even if you have to reinvent the wheel
Keep going round and round, that's real, that's real
So put up your shield
Ain't nobody here
Gonna do this on your own
Heal
Take my broken haert, see what each part weighs
Will it get to the whole? Or will it shot fake?
Open arms, you can see my scars fade
A testament I Shawshank'd out of that dark place
I've been through the shit, the dirt, mud, the quicksand
The words come naturally, a statue, I withstand
The forces of Nature, you can't erode me, I'm golden
Writing is Midas, try to decypher, I'm to aspire
Higher than fire, my flames lighten the sky up
I brighten the tired and dulled, pulled out from the choir
What if I'm not ready, already doomed
You already knew that I already zoomed
To the stars in search for a home, one that's personable
That's the beauty of the constellations
Every one is all amazing, but if you just erase 'em
It's up to you on how you gon' trace 'em
My demons in the forefront, fuck it, yup, it's time to face 'em
Take all the time you need, blue light
I watch you shine
Am I wrong? Or right?
I just don't know...
Do what you gotta do to heal
Even if you have to reinvent the wheel
Keep going round and round, that's real, that's real
So put up your shield
Ain't nobody here
Gonna do this on your own
Heal
She left me in a bad way that left me in a bad way
But I'm glad for the path break, back then I really can't say
All I saw were black days, but now I know that I'm safe, so
I can say that I'm healed
It's amazing this feeling
It's like I'm sixty-six million y.a. and blazin' between us
Is a flame as crazy as Venus, like maybe it's genius
Cause you're a dream come true, it's like I'm awake when I'm sleepin'
But I've been prayin' and waitin'
It's so amazing you came into my life when you did
Unexpected in the best way
Cause I'm ready for it, penny for a thought, so, pot smoke
And my heart's steady forward, Cosmos in my eyes
And you in my arms
Been ready all my life, let's shoot for the stars
Saturn's got the ring, I bet Jupiter calls
My life is fucking dope as long as you are involved
Take all the time you need, blue light
I watch you shine
Am I wrong? Or right?
I just don't know...
Do what you gotta do to heal
Even if you have to reinvent the wheel
Keep going round and round, that's real, that's real
So put up your shield
Ain't nobody here
Gonna do this on your own
Heal

You don't have to try so hard
There's no one around but us, babe
Let's take off our clothes
And take all the time we need
There's colors colliding
The night sky's dancing on the wall
Picture perfect portrait portraying principality
I don't expect a knife or a little voice in the back of me
With you, because with you my heart soars
Higher than the clouds, nice view of your art form
You're something otherworldly, perfect for a spaceman
Thunderstruck, or Hubble-thumping, surely this is grace land
Now I'm zooming in on it, a beautiful spectroscopy
Vibing with the wavelengths, kinda looks like life to me
Kinda looks like light to me
When the sea is rough, my head I keep it up
B-b-but, I fight to breathe
You're my oxygen tank, when I'm nodding away
Tipping the scales, I hope I'm not in the way
Money in my pockets, that's a knot in the weigh
And you're like me with public speaking: hot in the face
My life is better with you in the mix
And if you wanna lay a layer, I'll put you in the mix
(You don't have to try so hard)
28 Laps... I've been fighting demons
Then I met you and you seemed to light the beacon
Now my battles take a backseat
Like traffic in a taxi, it's funny
Because the meter isn't the only thing that's running, I am
Into your open arms, oh my god
You understand my silliness and tend to every broken part of me
Now we're singing, let the world rejoice in harmony
Never again will I be harming E
Because you and I will be so high, we'll be hard to reach
Because you and I will be so high, we got stars beneath
And that sounds good to me
You don't have to try so hard
There's no one around but us, babe
Let's take off our clothes
And take all the time we need
There's colors colliding
The night sky's dancing on the wall

GOTTA KNOW (EXPLICIT)
Prod. by 1519 Music Group
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know
Top form, pot holes, in the open road
Got no heart left, so it goes
Overloading this system, overdose
Inject me quick, I'm almost comatose
I am not your rival, this is all 'bout survival
I'm tryna find ya, my ideas have got no lightbulb
Time's are just gettin' tighter, like twenty minutes past five or
My hands are inside my pockets, I'm diggin' round for my lighter
Cause if I'm to get higher, I need some fire
I need some time to myself, stop to watch my reflection
And try to find in myself, the grace of god for protection
I've been self-destructive in irreperable ways
And the only way I can say I made it is if it's in the bed that I lay
Screw it, I need to get my head on there straight
Before I twist it off, maybe it is better that way
Don't ask me where I'm going, I'm just headed that way
I'm always looking up, I guess my head is that way
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know
It's really hard to be humble when you know you're so dope
(Nah I'm just kidding, it's actually pretty easy)
If you really thought I would stumble, I got your nose
You're gullible, now I'm at your throat
Like a shock collar, I am top dollar
I'm a rottweiller at a bonfire
I'm a songwriter, I'm an all-nighter
I'm the type of guy to think a song's fire
Then stay up past dawn mixing it, I'm beyond tired
It's not a sacrifice if I love it
No baggage, just luggage
These demons know where to shove it
This murder scene I can't stomach
I'm sure to dream but can't touch it
But the fact that I've been making songs since four
Got me feeling like everything and more's
Gonna be okay when I open up that door
Cause the window's shut, I implore you
Forward's the only way, stop dwelling
On the past, there's no secret that it's not telling
When my thoughts heavy, get the pot ready
Ending up so stoned, I'm rocksteady
Not saying I figured it out yet
Just saying there's no more room in my life for doubt
That's pretty good, I should write this down
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know
If you wanna, if you wanna
Gotta know, gotta know

BEAUTIFUL DAY
Prod. by Serenade
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day to be dope
Nothing's in my way
Nothing's in my way
Got the sun on my face
Got the stars in my eyes
Got a joint to my lips
I got you by my side
It's a beautiful day
I hope it lasts forever
Holy fuck, I ain't gotta go to work today
This shit great, this shit great
This my favorite day
Smoking a joint outside, got the sun on my face
I feel as high as fuck, what the fuck
Am I sound asleep? I don't think I'm counting sheep
Never been the type of guy, that I would be down to meet
Till I got my shit together, now it's been forever
I'm about to pop - like a can of Dr. Pepper
It's not the weather I wanted to see
Rain clouds, I feel incomplete
Stay down when you dealin' with me
Cause I pop-pop-pop on you motherfuckers
And I'm a monster, and I love the way you lie
What? Did you come to pay the price?
I would run to save your life
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
If you wanna know a fun fact, I eat my cereal dry
Ice cold milk on the side, just the way that I like
And to be more specific
It's Cinnamon Life
God damn, just to clarify
That was me smoking a joint
That was not me smoking cereal
I know it's a little confusing because of the juxtaposition
I want the hook
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day to be dope
Nothing's in my way
Nothing's in my way
Got the sun on my face
Got the stars in my eyes
Got a joint to my lips
I got you by my side
It's a beautiful day
I hope it lasts forever
I just wanna do a quick little shout-out
To everybody I love when I was down for the count
Y'all were there, had my back, gave me a helping hand
Give yourselves a pat on the back, y'all are fuckin' grand
I just wanna clarify something
My dick is so fucking big I need a wheelbarrow to lug it
Oh fuck it, I'm coming, there's something in my stomach
Wanting to get out
It's the fire inside and it's fighting it's way out, so I
Lift off, pen off the page
So much heat I pissed off the rage
Pay respects, no minimum wage
Save myself, take that shit to the bank, like
Can I put this in checking?
Okay, give me a second
I know my ID's around here somewhere, let me just-
Alright, put it up, bitch
Give me all your fucking money, whore
(Oh please, don't hurt me, you're never gonna get away with this!)
Bitch, I don't give a fuck
Give me everything that's in the safe
I'm just gonna spend it on strippers, booze, and fucking Chex Mix
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day to be dope
Nothing's in my way
Nothing's in my way
Got the sun on my face
Got the stars in my eyes
Got a joint to my lips
I got you by my side
It's a beautiful day
I hope it lasts forever

DURBAN POISON (ft. Mat Demaz)
Prod. by Serenade
I've been feeling like I'm falling apart
I've been feeling like I shot for the stars
There's so much room to grow
But the moon cast its shadow down on us
We made the fire, gather round, promise
Everything is gonna be okay
We're going there don't be afraid
So you know how like when you're falling asleep
And your mind's kinda drifting here and there
And just randomly you think of something you did when you were ten of eleven
And you're like "fuck!"
I hope no one remembers that
Yeah that keeps me up
Thoughts and prayers for the ones who can't sleep
My brothers and sisters around the globe
Marijuana and melatonin for every insomniac that I know
Yeah, I hope it helps and I overslept
And I know a mess when I see one
At least my eyes are a nice shade of blue I guess
Resentment rarely leads to redemption
Not the worst, but never see imperfections
Heavy fog in each direction
Made me look twice when they teach the lesson
Keep deflecting, pay the toll, make peace with blessings
Ain't reachin' heaven, need to cease the stressing
College dropout but he's professin'
He wasn't strong enough, a weak confession
Cut me, I bleed depression, decompression
To ensure that I flow like he's Progressive
This is self-expression
And the treasure is where my chest is
Everything is gon' be okay
Everything gon' be okay
I hope I'm right
I hope I'm right
I hope I'm right
I've been feeling like I'm falling apart
I've been feeling like I shot for the stars
There's so much room to grow
But the moon cast its shadow down on us
We made the fire, gather round, promise
Everything is gonna be okay
We're going there don't be afraid
So what you want from me?
Another home run?
Like I got the bases loaded
And I'm pointing like a shotgun
All the faces frozen, like I just popped one
And now there's spaces open
And I swear to God I'm not done
Get your popcorn, 'bout to pop off
Like a bottle top spun
Knock, knock, bitch, I'm the one who walks tall
While you wannabes talk hard
I told you I'm gonna be a rock star
Catch me surfin' over cop cars
More bars than a jail cell
Call the bail bonds, wish me farewell
Cause I'm long gone, I done set sail
In the deep sea and I won't fail
Chasing sweet dreams, away from nightmares, cause
They used to shade me, drive me crazy
Like I'm racing on the highway blazing eighty miles easy
Reaching for the metal
Lead me from the Devil
But teach me from this level
I must learn how not to burn
When the fire churns, in the trials
I will swerve
I will smile at the curves, I'll go higher than the birds
Spread to the words, through your nerves to give courage
Through the worst, when you feel like you could burst
Like a thirst, got a hunger for more
Everything is gon' be okay
Everything gon' be okay
I hope I'm right
I hope I'm right
I hope I'm right
I've been feeling like I'm falling apart
I've been feeling like I shot for the stars
There's so much room to grow
But the moon cast its shadow down on us
We made the fire, gather round, promise
Everything is gonna be okay
We're going there don't be afraid

MOONLIGHT
Prod. by Eric Dutton
[Verse 1]
You're so boring you put a hole in my heart
Barracuda tooth and nail the way you tore me apart
We're the same, sure, show me your scars
Forward we march, we keep on soldiering on
Frozen beyond measure, the treasure is in our chest
I've said it before, and yes, I'll repeat it till my vocal chords
Have grown the rot that finally reached me
Deceased me, resequencing, each memory
Lingering till it's all just a mess
And you'll never guess that the recollection remembered
To come home but forgot the direction
The devil is on his shoulder, guiding him to perfection
I beg of you, remember heaven
Never let him win, cause
[Hook]
You fan the flames, just take my hand, don't say my name
You don't have to say a word my darling
I haven't changed, I made my stand, won't fade away
Your eyes reflect the moonlight, baby
[Bridge]
Make me feel like I'm on top of the world
Make me feel like I'm on top of the world
Make me feel like I'm on top of the world
Trustfalls on the top of the world
But you got me, and I got you
And you got me, and I got you
And you got me, and I got you
I got you, I got you...
[Verse 2]
It didn't audition, so why would I cast doubt
I wanna lift you up without throwing my back out
No smoke, just stoned in my glass house
Down bad (good up) - toking my last ounce
Middle finger in the air, pinky swear
I'm all there in the head... uhhh
Damn the way he spits, he's fitting to leave 'em hanging by a prefix
Recent events have left ya knees split
Like what I do to defenders when I see rim
I got that quick first step, before you know it, I scored
It's like a Pistol whip, passing over the board
Sure hope you can swim, there's no sea on the shore
[Hook]
You fan the flames, just take my hand, don't say my name
You don't have to say a word my darling
I haven't changed, I made my stand, won't fade away
Your eyes reflect the moonlight, baby
[Post-Hook]
You fan the flames
I've made mistakes, I'll take the blame
I've made mistakes
I've raised it higher than the stars
My beating heart's on fire
It's on fire, oh
[Outro]
Make me feel like I'm on top of the world
Make me feel like I'm on top of the world
Make me feel like I'm on top of the world
Trustfalls on the top of the world
But you got me, and I got you
And you got me, and I got you
And you got me, and I got you
I got you, I got you...

The higher I climb
The farther I fall
Steps to the stars
One rung at a time (Don't look now)
As your feet lift from the ground
Keep your head above the water
When you come back down
There's life above us take my hand
I won't let you drown
I'll pull you up when you can't breathe
Your dreams ain't make believe so come with me
Come with me
And take my hand we'll make 'em real
Afterlife, angel dies
Sacrifice, we paid the price
Sunday morning, cherry skies
Whipped cream clouds, I take a bite
Chicken Little and the sky comes falling down
Raining cats and dogs and meatballs all around
This is just the beginning, pick up the pen and sprint to the finish
RIP'd with a sense of descendants
Who sent the sinners to sit in repentance
Wishing independence from the ones who oppressed them
Stressed them, put them to death them, I guess then
I've grown bitter and cold like the winters of old
My heart on my sleeve, I throw it into the snow
Just to see how far it can go
My gold soul has no value when it turns into coal
So I lean into the pressure, make a diamond out it
Thank my lucky stars the fusion has a higher power
Now or never, got a feeling in my bones
Since I dripped outta college-and, now I'm dealing with the blows
From a wind so frigid, I need a sunrise stat
Acknowledge the Lunaria but what's my path?
A solar system planetarium retreating the zenith
Higher than cloud nine, what's beneath 'em on Venus
Like it's about time, cook a pizza in nine seconds
I reckon, I like it a little crispy, eyes beckon
To the horizon because the sun is peeking
Pillars of light rising up like a hundred feet
Never seen this before in my life
Take a couple snapshots to capture the light
And then I pocket my phone
Cause I don't wanna live this digital life 24/7
Just give me the night
The higher I climb
The farther I fall
Steps to the stars
One rung at a time (Don't look now)
As your feet lift from the ground
Keep your head above the water
When you come back down
There's life above us take my hand
I won't let you drown
I'll pull you up when you can't breathe
Your dreams ain't make believe so come with me
Come with me
And take my hand we'll make 'em real

Falling through the cracks, invisible to the naked eye
I spit ethanol flames, so prepare to die
Might torch ya spot like a woodland fire
I'm a force of God, told ya I'm like a goodyear tire
It's like I'm made of rubber the way that I bounce back
My motherfucking anthem I made for the soundtrack
How's that for a platinum hit?
Y'all are flaccid dicks, down bad, zero shits, you asked for it
I've been made stronger from the blackest days
Outliving my demons I watch them pass away
Frail and weak cause they failed to beat
This fucking Hercules on the page, the grail's complete
Hail the King, love songs wrote but now you're out of reach
Now I'm down to be what I've been striving my whole life for: at peace
I'm breathing, my heart's beating, releasing the stranglehold on my happiness
I didn't realize I was keeping
On the edge, we're falling apart
Blissful times we circle around
On the way hollowed out my heart
Got a bright future ahead
On the edge, we're falling apart
Blissful times we circle around
On the way hollowed out my heart
Got a bright future ahead
So make it rain, like I was mourning again
Sanity unborn unkempt, got more time to repent
Everything is fine and peachy, dont mind the speech
I'm feeling fine discreet, my mind diseased in time im keen
So kindly leave, while I sit idly by looking at my screens
Gotta keep a straight face, walking outside in this disgrace I see
Had everything taken from me, I cant wait
I catch up with years I missed from being a caretake
I was just a prayer maker, thinking it was all over
I became a hope retailer, retelling my story over
Life is bittersweet, the inner demon is no longer my enemy
The humidity from the ceiling heat, rained down on me
This revealing feat, overcoming death, I'm not feeling meek
Unphased by things that were annoying me
Overjoyed as can be, deploying my self to work promptly
Feeling good nonchalantly, I'll be the first to raise my hand
I can say I'm feeling free
On the edge, we're falling apart
Blissful times we circle around
On the way hollowed out my heart
Got a bright future ahead
On the edge, we're falling apart
Blissful times we circle around
On the way hollowed out my heart
Got a bright future ahead

PASS IT ON ft. Mr?E & Yamie Jamie
Prod. by 1519 Music Group
Oh, I really needed you
I didn't know if I could make it on my own
(But I've grown, and I know)
You gave me everything I need
If you could see me and the seeds you
(Sowed in me, I hope you made it home)
I wish I could show you my book, Dad (yeah)
I wish I could show you my jumpshot (pure)
My beard is "Phil"ing out too
And my girl said she saw a couple white hairs
Three years old, I had a nightmare
I'm scared, I crawl into bed with you and Mom
And it's the safest that I've ever felt
(God damn, you were just right here, ah)
Having you as a dad, one in a billion
And I know several dudes who could claim the same
No coincidence that we get into this creativeness and fade away, ugh
But what I'm building?
A legacy that celebrates the life you gave, the life you made
There's nothing that I'd erase
I know you're with me, so light the way, please
Oh, I really needed you
I didn't know if I could make it on my own
(But I've grown, and I know)
You gave me everything I need
If you could see me and the seeds you
(Sowed in me, I hope you made it home)
I wouldn't be me if it wasn't for you
I'm the spitting image of you, I love you more than you knew
Just wishing I could hold you for a minute, maybe a few
I'm looking up at the sky and I know you painted it blue
Don't ever get it confused
I'm honored you are my father, but I see you everyday whenever I look at my daughter
And I just hear my own voice when she calling me Papa (hi Papa)
Tell her 'thank your Grandpa for everything that I taught ya'
I would move a mountain if it got in your way
Got the strength of my father until I wither away
Cause I'm the son of a King that found a dragon to slay
Agony, pain, is what I felt when the tragedy came
But I ain't ever felt for a second that the magic's gone
And if you ever lost a parent now you have this song
This one's for the moments that should've lasted long
Hope my kids take what I gave 'em, and pass it on
Oh, I really needed you
I didn't know if I could make it on my own
(But I've grown, and I know)
You gave me everything I need
If you could see me and the seeds you
(Sowed in me, I hope you made it home)

When you look up at the stars, do you think of me?
Moonlight shining down on our history
I gave you the torch to hold
You made sure that it went cold
But that was the me of old
Now I'm here and I'm riding this UFO
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh
Just give me time to breathe
(Give me time to)
Just give me time to be
(Give me time to)
Give me lots of weed
Just give me time to breathe)
Puff, puff, pass that shit
Just give me time, no
Give me my time back
Give me my time back
Give me my time back
Just give me my time
When you look up at the stars, do you think of me?
Do you think of me when you look up at the stars?
Is your soul alive?
Do you think of me?
Do you?
Smoking on them trees like I'm Carl Sagan
Smoking on them trees like I'm Carl Sagan
Always looking up like I'm Carl Sagan
Always looking up like I'm Carl Sagan
Do you think of me when you look at the stars?
Do you think of me when you look in your heart?
Poke and prod till it's Jenga
Hope to god that we win this
Overall I'll just pen this
Onto my shoulders like Atlas I'm planning the standard of having to lift this
Planet, askin' forgiveness
Guess you gotta know that I'm on a roll
It's rock and roll like we on a boat
In a thunderstorm, so far from home
And god only knows when it clears
We'll find the coast through the tears
And I know that we will, yeah
Everything gon' be okay, yeah
Everything gon' be okay, yeah
Everything gon' be okay
And I know it will
Nothing's gonna ruin my high
Nothing's gonna ruin my high
Bury me in the booth when I die
See that open road
I do
If I keep my eyes shut then I won't see a reason
And I won't see the stars no more but that's fine, I'm hopeless and breathing
That winter air, and it's chilly yeah, and I didn't care
That my lungs'll freeze, cause I'se hungry
For something to get me through, I get in the booth
And I spit the truth when I think it through
And my ink is used, and my mental's screwed
But I'm still in tune
But I'm max capacity, fillin' shoes
Kinda funny that they thirteen's
But the worst thing about Apollo missions is that they hurt me
Just trying to, trying to feel the wonder
Dance in the rain, not fear the thunder
When I take off the mask, do I peel it upwards?
Unsure of the protocol, like overall
Just a little bit confused what the quotas are
I'm not a know-it-all, need an overhaul
The chances of me seeing utopia are Bonaparte, like
Oh my god, like soda pop
Can't shake the feeling I'm gonna blow, yo
Just gimme a shot like Cortisol
I wanna believe in me
I wanna believe in me
I need 'em to see
I need 'em to see, who I am
Type of guy to see the stars tonight
I could find something like a sharper knife
And cut right to the quick of the situation
Is the patience I need just beyond my reach?
Indescribable feeling, failing goals
I'm almost three-oh, should I change my course?
See the finish if I book it, but diminishing returns
Got me outta my mind, sure, feeling kinda burnt
Like I flew too close to the sun, I'm gone
Who knew hope could be spun, right off
Of a perfect grasp
This is self-doubt battling, words attack
I'm sure to last as long as my stamina has
Gas in the tank, but I'm emptying fast
I hope this'll past like depression of past
Last breath, expressionless gasp
I wanna believe in me
I wanna believe in me
I need 'em to see
I need 'em to see, who I am
I've was broken before
Now I feel fine, alive, and dandy
I feel a life, a love, and joy
And I feel fine
I told you I would be in time
You know why?
Because I let go
Of everything that's grabbing me and dragging me down
And I hope that one day
Look back on this time and laugh
Cause everything is okay

HOW AM I ALIVE (END CREDITS)
Prod. by Serenade
If the Sheetz hadn't been down, dude
Then I wouldn't had the chance to bike to the moon
Typical me, I go right for the lunar surface
Not your typical dreams, I got a feeling that I got what I need
It's not a heaven I spurn, it's just a lesson I learned
A swerve can be a gentle nudge to the path you're supposed to be on
So don't get yourself twisted up in the Eons
It's time to give yourself a pat on the back
You went from maroon-face shy to fuckin' lightin' the sky up
Magnificent just how high you aspire
Spark it higher and higher
Sativa-hybrid, FTL
The budtender he done told me it's the best he sells
I can attest to that, the best, in fact, I'm soaring the heavens
I'm exploring forever, just hold my hand, we're together
I'm ready to let 'em loose, let the music inspire
I answer every desire, when you inquire for a choir
I'm aligned to the position that we're actually Light when
It takes a human form, but more towards the bright side
This complete serenity, as it enters me
Illuminates the corners of my heart that were incomplete
I know I'm more than the sum of my parts
However many and broken they are
I'm just a spaceman toketh, full of love, I've opened my heart
I close my eyes to experience this
The hope and awe of the wonder, the mysteriousness
Hey Neil, are you hearing this shit?
It's just simple optics, giving that mirror a kiss
The Void? I've lost my fear of it
I guess peering in pierced through its appearances
I'm disappearing this unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach
Punching the air in triumph, I'm not kicking the bucket
How the fuck am I alive, man, I did what I wanted...
