Rumble with something that I'm up against
Watching Darren Aronofsky, honestly I'm lovin' it
Half cup nostalgia, other half is overload
Feeling like an open world, low health and vulnerable
Check the CPU again, is the stream steady fam?
Wishing I was near a real stream, so I disconnect
Hours later watch the screen, shower so I feel serene
Watch my brain eagerly dancing with any other scene
Tread past the water making sure to boost my arteries
Slim slow voyage, then my gut just sorta startled me
It's still a fable so grab a bagel and break it down
Everything with everything inside it til it's not around
Nihilism, or breaking out the box still see the page
Climbing down the hatch enter numbers, purgatory state
Brax lost the math again but happy grounded with the grains
Listen to the leaves and the trees, they all talk the same
They all talk the same, we all talk the same
This right here is Mr. Robotic
Watch time skip, just trusting that process
Fostering a vision, cautious with the light
Honestly it really isn't simple but we try, sayin'
This right here is Mr. Robotic
Watch time skip, just trusting that process
Fostering a vision, cautious with the light
Honestly it really isn't simple but we try
In this very life I'd be fine with just doing some chores with you
Not only the chosen few are plagued by holding tortured views
Chillin with this gravel sound, KO cooked the elements
Still I see some space around so everything is relevant
Still love writin' raps, but lots of things have changed perhaps
Still drive a Civic, sometimes cynical we chase the bag
Filling up my tank til its empty again
The whole system bound to break, the banks are closing
The breaks are bangin' and the levee is weak
I took my dog for a walk but I couldn't even breathe
Pardon me, the AQI is high again
Maybe in another thousand years we can try again
We can fly again, maybe try to win
This right here is Mr. Robotic
Watch time skip, just trusting that process
Fostering a vision, cautious with the light
Honestly it really isn't simple but we try, sayin'
This right here is Mr. Robotic
Watch time skip, just trusting that process
Fostering a vision, cautious with the light
Honestly it really isn't simple but we try

Most things start to fade, some things stay the same
Watch it wash away, boy I love the rain, uh
Straddle with the cosmic regiment
The honest feedback loop with some resonance
It caused me to step back, look at examine it
Hooked on, something don't look strong, bandage it
Watching all the ways we can hardly fit together now
Seen it with the stimulus checks they were giving out
People felt together then it's fleeting, gone quick
Thought we learned a lesson then we're bleeding, nonsense
It echoes out, similar with me, that's the energy
When I'm feeling weak and my room isn't looking clean
That's the time to meditate, this should have already known
Seems my brain was built for tribes, troubled when it's all alone
It's all on the tip of my tongue, it's all on the tip of my tongue
I wish I wouldn't
It's all what is said and not done, it's all what is said and not done
Unless I let it
It's all on the tip of my tongue, it's all on the tip of my tongue
I wish I wouldn't
It's all what is said and not done, it's all what is said and not done
Unless I let it
Most things start to fade, some things stay the same
Watch it wash away, boy I love the rain!
Most things start to fade, some things stay the same
Watch it wash away, boy I love the rain!
Another splendid sequence breakin' beats embrace the demons
I thought I couldn't move, but here I stand then face the seasons
Another time warp on tunnel turning, I can let it
Bring the board again, I'm bored again so don't forget it
Another splendid sequence breakin' beats embrace the demons
I thought I couldn't move, but here I stand then face the seasons
Another time warp on tunnel turning, I can let it
Bring the board again, I'm bored again so don't forget it
Ricochet with a new stance, see the dead plants
Homegrown memories, a reminiscing nuisance
Ohh this, got me feeling better than the day before
High highs, low lows, 2012 on tour
94 I was four, time flies so fast
Illmatic, Liquid Swords, KO brought the vibe back
Stale with the flies still, old food, new skill
Same mess, mitigate 9 lives, lost 2
Write these rhymes when the sky light finds you
Always seem to help me zoom into my truth
RIP Kevin, see your spirit still lives through
Haystacks wandering, another gone too soon
Most things start to fade, some things stay the same
Watch it wash away, boy I love the rain!
Most things start to fade, some things stay the same
Watch it wash away, boy I love the rain!

Wherever I go, whatever I do
See a suitable road with some cones from the cruise
Always keep a small setup in the trunk with me too
If I'm feeling bored, 9-ply, it's something to move
It's that urethane playground, pavement is all around
Stay for a while, stale fish finding common ground
Pack it up, backpack full of soft wheels
Drift heel side slide, Landyachtz, and long hills
Which hill can wrong me? It's only happened once
Four wheels pushin' down, one life with luck
Two trucks holding up my stylish favorite ride
I can really say I tried
Took a wrong turn, pebbles slippin' with the urethane
Next thing I know was I couldn't see anything
Three other friends made sure it didn't end worse
From freestyles on the highway to the second verse
A way to get a way from the routine
Skate away the day so soothing
Rooted from the bay no new thing
The pace I make when I'm cruising
Built-ins spinnin', speaking on the cement
Screeching or maybe clean it depends
On many factors, treat my setup like an extension
Of my body when I'm messed up
And if I'm dirty, better believe
The trucks and wheels build up grime, lose speed
And that's just like me, gotta water the plant so to speak
No soda water please, hop on my board and avoid the disease, go!
A way to get a way from the routine
Skate away the day so soothing
Rooted from the bay no new thing
The pace I make when I'm cruising
A way to get a way from the routine
Skate away the day so soothing
Rooted from the bay no new thing
The pace I make when I'm cruising
Learned a lot from the internet, trial and error
Met a guy named Malakai, shreddin' the stairs
Copy the larger cats, pick a style and emulate
Falling down five times, try again and demonstrate
Meditative let it go
Swear it was the only time in my brain thoughts were runnin' slow
Watchin' lines on the road
Ducking cones in any form with style is an obstacle
A way to get a way from the routine
Skate away the day so soothing
Rooted from the bay no new thing
The pace I make when I'm cruising
When I'm cruising, when I'm cruising
When I'm cruising, better than losing
When I'm cruising, when I'm cruising
When I'm cruising, better than losing
A way to get a way from the routine
Skate away the day so soothing
Rooted from the bay no new thing
The pace I make when I'm cruising
A way to get a way from the routine
Skate away the day so soothing
Rooted from the bay no new thing
The pace I make when I'm cruising

We're over here again, huh?
I guess we're back over here
We were over there, now we're back, here we go
Yo, I find a place where it's time to break a lot of rules
I'm not a fool, but I used to sneak up out of school
Q Train, back to Brooklyn for bread and some gabagool
Maynard James Keenan when I rap, I use the proper tools
Radiohead, Thom Yorke when I'm blasting through
Playing with the waves, still the same, watch me cast a clue
Let the bait drop, hook, sink, lob, and throw it far
Fishing for a shaman with these vulnerable and open bars
Wonderful, my hope is large even if I'm sluggish
And if it suits my case, then I will travel like my luggage
These rappers are so rubbish, maybe garbage in London
I spit bars in abundance, from the darkest of dungeons
Then park at the function, so lively and lovely
The arts at the junction stay grimy and grumpy
The barn star can guide me and find when I'm lucky
So levitate, Severus Snape, I'm still hungry
How does hip-hop make you feel?
It makes me feel happy and brave
Second verse, reminisce on when I first started
Hit some whirlwind, the turbulence got me feelin' carsick
Lastly, the lost are found when you listen
To the magic in the heart, still harnessing the vision
I'm the smartest when I'm spittin' every target that I'm hittin'
Is a marvelous depiction of an artist on a mission
Impossible like fake meat, I'm on a roll like skate feet
My family doing good, I'll be honest, it's been a great week
So lately, taste these ill type ingredients
Mixed up with the elements, heated feelin' feverish
All four, used to keep score but it's pointless
I'm more about community, a voice to the voiceless
My choice is to be boisterous, or whisper minimal noises
Wavy gems flow, swimming jewels like a koi fish
Feeling joyous, ZEPS and Braxy did it again
With an indigenous pen
Enjoy the music, you're listening to the Braxy album
Nothing but boom bap elements, beautiful vibes
Shouts to everybody in the 209, we love you, peace!

A tougher rhyme to start than usual in many ways
The whole last three years feeling like a daze
I saw a part of me in pieces of our broken past
All the cliches, like true love will last
They sound funny til you're living them and never left
I'm still tired, searching for the measurement
Calculate the type A like personage
Some days are fine, some days symptoms worsenin'
Feel it my gut, but I still eat messed up
Working on my health, it's hard wishing you the best luck
Is it true that time pass and wounds heal?
Am I an optimist, or just the fool on the hill?
Can I conquer this, or will everything stay still?
Reminisce on remedies that always make me ill
1, 2, 1, 2, the microphone's grip
Listen to the beat, lie alone and sip
I lost a piece of my own soul
Just tryin to, tryna let you go
I lost a piece of my own self
Just lookin for, for a little help
Verse 2, I'm worse dude, or maybe just the same
My brains loopin', sorry if I complain
The trains left the tracks, but I'm still here
No ones at the station, hoping you appear
Holding onto hope, nope gotta let it steer
The river runs fast and the current makes it clear
Flow with it, row row with the waves
Not against the energy that pulses through my veins
Listen to the sacred art that told me not care
It's laughable now, wish I wasn't well prepared
Ignorant bliss is something unachievable
My brain breaks too fast, not just seasonal
Watch the ebb and flow, still exiting my emo phase
Waves crash, face mask, using it to hide away
I loved the feeling that we gained when we loved each other
I'll set the table for two, makin' my supper
I lost a piece of my own soul
Just tryin to, tryna let you go
I lost a piece of my own self
Just lookin for, for a little help

Divided truths, I find in you
We're all still so so far, so clueless
So close zoomed in, a pixelated fuzzy faces
Dreamt I went through this
Are you by my side? Glide through a windstorm
The waves are making whitecaps, need to get low
Sit down, the cabin, no fever
Feel like going outside when I see ya
The sun shines bright, look eternal glowing light
Think it's dim sometimes, think it's them sometimes
I can see the same pain in your iris
Heavy eyelids, don't forget it's inside us
Cheesy but the seasons bring a lot of change
Looking at the moon shaking feeling strange
I love the thought of love, look love
Everything I can watch take shape
Don't control it, let it go freely
Don't define it, it's gone and it's breathing
Let it be, it is beautiful this evening
It's still beautifully deceiving
We all feel so far, miles away
Closer than it seems, gotta smile today
Walk the same path, ignore the same pain
The truth can set us free
We all feel so far, miles away
Closer than it seems, gotta smile today
Walk the same path, ignore the same pain
The truth can set us free
When I think about the years passing always so quick
Glad I had a couple people help me through the thick of it
Less of that indirect, younger sister 5 years
Taught me lots of things, the promise of always fighting fear
Senior year bed side, battling all types of wack
Trusting what my eyes can see, important things won't always last
But the warmth is near, even failing
Another lesson taught from pops was keep sailing
And watch the shimmer of the sun beams waving bye
Skipping over with the floaters racing through my eye
Another warning was not to put it off for a day
A timely notice from the others that have gone away
We all feel so far, miles away
Closer than it seems, gotta smile today
Walk the same path, ignore the same pain
The truth can set us free
We all feel so far, miles away
