Summer Mixtape Lyrics

Lqoau

Summer Anthem
[to Ice Cubes It Was a Good Day (Remix) beat]

Thats right.

Nothing like summer in Austin, TX baby.

What you want to do today?

VERSE 1
That Texas sunrise gets me every time,
I guess now I know why they call em blinds,
the sun in my eyes cant help but wake up,
stumble round squinting like I need Marc Jacobs,
this my day off, Im done with word play,
looking out my window thank God its a new day,
stay out the studio cause Im feeling live,
dont need a destination, cause Ive arrived,
and theres nothing but blue skies,
they say the world is over, but theyre just lies,
letting all that fake shit pass me by,
change out the water, its time to get high,
so Im looking fly, got my flip-flops,
break out the Frost, Im telling you just tops,
Im stocked like a coffeeshop, self-serve,
sipping on a cup of Peaberry Reserve,
and then its time to go, the day is young,
and so are the ladies out at Barton Sprungs,
throw on my swim trunks, grab a new mix,
call it Good Times, Volume Twenty-Six

HOOK
Roll all the windows down, lets ride,
now roll that shit up, its hot outside,
we all got worries, but everythings fine
with summertime love and bright sunshine. x2

VERSE 2
And I dont want to spit again,
Ive said my shit and this is vacation,
been working two a days like medicine,
Im all rolled tight lets take a spin,
this might be the last, lets live it up,
fill it all the way to the top of the cup,
straight getting crunk, like in high school,
lets get all fucked up and act a fool

HOOK

VERSE 3
Just when I think that Ive done it all,
theres this cute little girl I still gotta call,
when I pick her up, you know I feel blessed,
she got long, tan legs and a short dress,
yeah I want to eat, guess Im hungry too,
the only question is Uchi or Chez Nous,
they got the best duck, or get the prixe fixe,
dessert is crme caramel, and then theres me,
but first, we can take our time,
up Mount Bonnell its a long, slow climb,
but if you get there a little after sunset
on the roof when the skylines lit,
girl I swear, its like the stars are right here,
and we could live our lives without fear,
Ill be your mirror, I shine like chrome,
girl I see that look, lets get you home.

HOOK

Jnana
[to M.I.A.s Paper Planes beat]

VERSE 1
Look up in the sky I dont need a sign,
everything is stolen, my words are divine,
pearls and swine, dont act like you aint heard,
these motherfuckers act bout as good as they word,
that aint saying much, for I aint heard a rhyme,
cant understand they ass more than half of the time,
stay on my grind, cause whats a man to do?
They aint done nothing, yet they want some too.

HOOK
It took a long climb to get this fly,
and then you gotta jump, its hard to get by,
haters stepping out, I aint gonna lie,
keep giving me the eye, and they dont even try,
turning on the lights every time I try to shine,
say Im alright yet they know every line,
Im looking out for mine, these kids think its funny,
cant tell twenty-twelve apart from twelve-twenty,
now [all I want to do is . and take your money]

VERSE 2
No retreats, for theres nothing to find
dont need to trip, cause its all inside,
keep it to yourself if you dont understand,
and you might see the world in a grain of sand,
Im not mad, we just gotta be real,
moving toward God and this is my deal.
I hear a higher call so I cant live small,
sick of crouching down so yall can feel tall.

HOOK

[sample] some some some some I murder, some I let go x4

HOOK

Go out there, support your friends.
Support your family.
There aint nothing else.
Divine knowledge. Go get it.

Tao Lqoau
[to Ghostfaces Be This Way beat]

Is that right?

The way I see it,
a lot of shit changes,
but thats okay.
The game stays the same:
theres a lot of paths you can take out there
but theres only one way.

Thats my way.
Better find yours.

VERSE 1
Love the paradox, its a blessed curse,
the facts that youve learned only make it worse,
thats why the truth is only found in verse,
my lyrics so fresh that they sound rehearsed,
universal light, we play every day,
for the longest ways the fastest way,
we looped around islands, the citrus sweet,
fire like paper dragons on the street,
those spots we meet its like white heat,
blowing up minds like DMT,
shadows on the leaves, tell me if you see,
the diamonds laid out in mimosa trees.
A short eternity, were on our way there,
it will come into focus when the world disappears,
before you arrived you were already here.

VERSE 2
Moving toward God, thats why we came,
enter dimensions, its a complex game,
but in the very end were all the same,
were one truth with many names,
divine knowledge, theres a price to pay,
the first four are free, gotta earn your way
gotta learn your way, theres only one goal,
it takes struggle to refine your soul,
so take the breaks if you want to stay whole.

VERSE 3
Some say we become who we are,
the seeds of the stars, they traveled far
and settled to start a higher thought on earth,
built the pyramids and displaced the dirt,
ancient footprints tracked new DNA,
mapped out the sky, then they went away,
paradise forgotten, kingdoms in decline,
we know all the stars but cant see the signs,
creating false prophets to fill what we lack,
while we wait for our Gods to come back,
they see it all black and white, tell wrong from right,
yet they couldnt tell fucking true light from the night,
rely on they sight, thats why they cant be shown,
if you just look inside, youll see were not alone,
small pieces of God, one day were all going home.

VERSE 4
Pack up your wings if youre ready to ride,
theres no secrets but you must confide,
theres no second tries and nothing to hide,
and every circle has ten thousand sides,
step outside, the new world is near,
Ill start it all up and now you steer,
for theres no passengers here, its all crew,
and Im about gone so its all on you.

VERSE 1
[to the Games Hate It or Love It beat]
Alright, listen up, Im sorry Im late,
but I had to wait til five just to start my day,
you know how it is, man, you gotta get paid
cause you gotta eat, but they wont give it away.
I dont need much, just give me a taste,
no chance to lose, not a second to waste,
its yours to choose, you know what they say,
put on the record and just push play.
And it dont matter if Ive worked all day
Ill kick off my shoes and blaze,
grab a cup of coffee, put the pen to the page,
and if it comes out the right way
it dont matter what I say, cause its all o-

VERSE 2
[to Wu-Tang Clans Triumph beat]
Yeah I could stay forever, like I was reppin Wu-Tang,
but when the weekend comes its time to play,
and theres a spot downtown thats calling my name,
where I never need much I just bring my game,
cause Im already drunk once I step out the door,
as soon as I get in I head straight to the floor,
so I dont need VIP and as long as I get my boys in,
I guarantee we make the club sick like we was poison.
[Poison drum beat]

VERSE 3
[to Fat Joes Lean Back beat]
Take away the gimmicks, man, take away the hype,
take away the limousine, Ill still be aight,
the folks call me lycra like that shits tight,
but you put me in the stores the shit sell like Nikes,
and thats the reason why I never wonder what its like
if I could be like Mike.

VERSE 4
[to Lil Waynes Always Strapped]
Cause this the type of song you can bang out your trunk,
put it in the club watch the dance floor get crunk,
beat so funky like your grandfathers feet
[pause music]
when hes rubbing on his toes and youre trying to eat,

VERSE 5
[to Alis Go Head beat]
or a sweet, when its filled up with the hizerb,
youve gone left the club, and youre smoking on the cizurb,
its hizeard, and shortys out chirpin like a bizurd,
so Im a take her home and that is my wizurd.

VERSE 6
[to the Beastie Boys Intergalactic beat]
A wizard when I rock rhymes on the mic,
I keep you spellbound with the rhymes that I write,
I keep it held down cause thats the sound that you like,
when the record comes around we can go all night.
Break it!

VERSE 7
[to the Games Hate It or Love It beat]
But on some real shit, Ive seen some hard times,
dont listen to they lies, its a hard road to climb,
Ive seen some cold nights where I just had to cry,
but through all the pain I found peace in my rhymes,
still I held back cause I had too much pride,
I was scared to shine so I kept it inside,
and so I sat and watched as the years passed me by,
and saw that I could fail but I just had to try,
we could change the world so youll have to decide,
will you push ahead or will you step to the side,
step your left and then you step to the right,
I know youd speak, but your hands are tied. Alright.

VERSE 8
[to Ghostfaces Childs Play beat]
I just think its kind of funny,
that these rappers found some money,
and now theyre talkin like its destiny.
They say they pointed with their nine,
and it fell straight from the sky,
but that dont make no sense to me.
You can catch me on the sidewalk,
puffin, holdin down the block,
but still come and talk with me,
I got the trees and the wraps
in the pockets of my slacks,
come chill, take a walk with me,
Ill be up late rhymin
cause Im always steady grinding
just to sell out on MTV.
Yeah Im working overtime,
for that five point shine,
yet you still want this shit for free.
You might say that Ive been biting
but Im sick of rhyme writing,
so chill, get up off of me.

Tender Wolves

VERSE 1
[to Ghostfaces Childs Play beat]
Its all about love, so listen to this,
up on my grind, aint got time to reminisce,
looking ahead, still its hard to dismiss the past,
cause nothing is lost still nothing lasts,
and it made me who I am, all the struggle,
as a young kid I was in and out of trouble,
an independent mind, hating cause I aint hit,
fire up the Chronic, son, cause bitches aint shit,
Ive loved a lot of girls that I never got to kiss,
had dead center aim, couldnt help but miss,
I came here by myself, this is not a diss,
but youll never know me if you dont get this,
most wishes dont come true, but dont worry,
cause I know one day Ill be hotter than curry,
make em say uhh, make they vision blurry,
make em come quick like they in a hurry,
call it madness, make em Go Crazy like Young,
or make a mixtape and get em all sprung,
its that L-Q-O-A-U, glad you came,
got love by the letter, whats your name?
Got nothing on the game if you cant win,
cant take em to church if they dont sin,
thats how it is, dont act like you dont know,
hey its getting crowded, now where you wanna go?

VERSE 2
[to Jay Electronicas Exhibit C beat]
I speak in strange tongues, call me Jay Yarmulke
ohev ha yehudot, yesh li ahava,
cavod ve hatslacha, ve ani hiyah tov chaver,
gam yesh li rak basar casher,
still they love me down in Gaza cause I holla
long live Allah while Im balling with Kamala,
its hard to know who I love the best,
hit the African coast to get some rest,
a la jeune fille a la peau similaire le cacao,
vien ici, je mappelle Lqoau,
parler avec moi sil vous plait, allez,
tien a tu lecher comme la crme glacee
je serai la cerise sur dessus
j'ai connu la faim, je veux manger a tu,
I might be coming back in two, zero, one, two,
for the grand alignment and return of Nibiru,
modern day pharaohs, spirits fly like arrows,
while distant stars flip cards like tarot,
well try to survive but the arc is narrow..

VERSE 3
[to Jedi Mind Tricks Blood Runs Cold beat]
Lets do this.
Lets get right to this.
The moonlight shines through your summer dress,
the power of night, I must confess,
your body is a wonder I must caress,
I want to discover your secret flesh,
step closer, put my hands underneath,
kiss your neck, draw the thong to your feet,
let down your hair as I pull you near,
your sighs like prayers that only I can hear,
searching your skin with the tip of my tongue,
licking like tender wolves cleaning their young,
and when I had read the book that you wrote,
I went through it all again, this time with notes,
and rode you like a pro, not too hard or slow,
working your body like it was slow dough,
youre into the games, lets make it brief,
you be the lonely heiress, Ill be your thief,
or Ill be the thief and you be the police,
you gotta take me in Im dangerous on the streets.
Thats when you opened like a lily to the heat,
a thousand kisses deep, our time on earth is sweet,
I hope the spirits set aside another time to meet.

VERSE 4
[to Dead Prezs Mind Sex beat]
Thats right. Let me tell you about my girl though.

From the moment I saw her, the words came fast,
different from the girls I knew in the past,
I didnt hold back, I gave her all my heart,
I took her by the hand, told her this was the start,
well never be apart, no matter where we go,
and soon at every show, well be up in the front row,
she was there when I had nothing but a dream,
another young artist with his eyes on the C.R.E.A.M.,
just another rapper, but that didnt matter,
told me shed rather have my love than the latter,
girl stuck by me and Ill never forget that,
told her everything, Ill never regret that,
shes a summer lover, take it slow like lean,
many want the title but theres only one queen,
the type they rap about, so fresh and so clean,
baby girl got warrants the way she steal the scene,
sweet like cherry pie, eyes big as the sky,
the way she walk by make a grown man cry.

I love you baby. I love you all.

Nightlight

VERSE 1
[to Kanyes Flashing Lights beat]

Its getting late, and there is no shame
in surrender, for even the sun has given way
Im tired, afraid Ive got nothing to say,
now that Ive stumbled to the end of day.
Aint nothing wrong and aint nothing right,
all secrets silenced by the weight of the night,
the early favorites lie in pale defeat
and our city is filled with empty streets,
I cant retreat, theres no place to run,
no time to rest cause the work aint done,
bills keep coming, I gotta make music
locked in the cycle I cant refuse it
got me doing dirt, shit I aint confused it,
one chance in life I aint lose it,
call us double-parked, yeah we gonna move it,
wrap it all up, got nothing to prove it,
look its like this,
first you do it for the love, but then you get older,
broken promises, every winter get colder,
feel the cold shoulder, eyes turn with time,
like the way it rhymes but sick of the grind,
its then that you find that its all up to you,
cause no one can do the shit you gotta do,
you got what you got, they know how you do,
is that good enough, or will you push through?
Break down the walls and build from the rubble,
people keep sleeping like its not worth the trouble,
yet all the struggle made me what I am its true,
I wouldnt change a thing, all this shit Ive been through,
the real empire is stretched out above,
in glory and love and its waiting for you,
see it for yourself or get out the way,
I live how I want, fuck what you say,
thats how it is, from night until day,
stay at it, keep grinding away,
pay whatever price I gotta pay,
just to get a couple guest verses like Kanye,
but still I heard him say,
nothings ever promised tomorrow today
like Marvin Gaye Im just a piece of clay,
no guarantees, just the chance to play,
Thats it man, thats what I got to say.

VERSE 2
[to the Games My Life beat]

And when the sun rises I know were gonna have it all,
put in the work, now we both standing tall,
spotlight well steal it all, wont have to deal at all,
wont have to explain cause the people gon feel it all,
get a brand new car, still keep it real and all,
drive slow like Wall, keep that Texas crawl,
our own shit in the stereo, own shit in the wrap,
go ahead light it up, got three girls in the back,
and it dont matter where we go from here,
hit the turn signal, cause I know were near,
its a long, hard road out there but I dont care,
I faced my own death, now I have no fears,
no reservations, Im ready for whatever,
Im the kind thats fine in any kind of weather,
nothing lasts forever, take everything from me,
take my legs, my voice, take my family,
Im still the same man, God, cant you see?
you can put me in prison and Ill still be free,
the future lies inside, keep grinding away,
if you make it til the morning it will be okay.

Alright. Lets go! Come on, baby girl, lets take a ride.

HOOK
Just you and me, and were coming through,
Ive found peace sleeping here en les rues,
jai trouv la paix en les rues,
jai laiss nouveau monde avec vous.

I dont care how long its beenthis is only the beginning.

VERSE 1
Fall into my life, I wasnt expecting this,
busy breaking up like Gregory Isaacs,
a swing and a miss, been working on my hits,
finna wrap it up like this was my gift.
Always on my mind like you were my fix,
Im running out of beats so heres my remix,
Im stuck like glue, sprung like shocks
always on time, I come around like clocks,
moving slow, no one can match my flow,
I said it before, you should already know,
classic Virgo, find beauty in the details,
go ditch your man, call it out on bail,
youll be free, you do the same for me,
you are so fucking smart I know you see,
this is meant to be, and Im on your game,
so get on this game, come scream out my name,
speaking of games, I know youre pre-med,
you be the doctor and Im your patient,
or you be the patient, you wont wait long,
your shoulder hurts, girl, lets take off that thong,
take off your shirt, lets see whats wrong,
aint nothing wrong, but dont get along,
I need you right here, this might take long,
no appointments, all I got is this song.
Listen to the words, this is something new,
look into your eyes, I can tell whats true,
this town is ours, what you want to do?
Fuck them other girls, L, I only want you.

HOOK

VERSE 2
I love you dont care when I dont act right,
youre my fucking queen Im loving you all night,
from another kind, different rules apply,
then we break those rules cause we just that fly,
its who we are, together we make one,
children of the sun, cause we know life is fun
legs locked up, they cant steal our love,
jealous cowards try, we rise, rise above,
you already high, just look what youve done
in twenty short years, I cant call you young,
body so tight, you got me all sprung,
let me chill awhile and see what you become,
this is me, Im everything I want to be,
if you cant sleep then come stay with me.
Our nights like verse, the sun wept rose,
the air so sweet your eyelids closed,
just like Rimbaud on a French countryside,
smoking Gauloises with me at your side,
lets take a ride, Ill take you anywhere,
haters screw they faces, fuck if we care.
You be the star, and Ill be your show,
you do the shopping, Ill count the dough,
were coming through, you can feel it in the air,
walk you to your car, just watch them all stare.

Too Much Shoreline
[to Nass Thugz Mansion (N.Y.) beat]

VERSE 1
When you live in the darkness you fear the dawn,
eyes curse the skies when stars are gone,
and looking back every move was wrong,
yet some days I think we can still live on,
just like this song, a new generation,
the house still standing, no renovations,
you gotta make room, cause Im coming through,
bringing the only gifts that Ive got for you.
Take them with if theres anything they can do,
or leave them here if you dont believe theyre true.
Its up to you, I cant force your hand,
bring the truth, cant make you understand,
Im only one man and this is my start,
I dont have a plan, I just follow my heart,
and in the end I see a place for us to hide,
a forgotten island, well leave at low tide,
limited supplies, yet everything is there,
stars in the sea and ocean in the air,
I changed my prayers when I heard you say,
theres too much shoreline, well never get away.

HOOK (spoken)
Whats impossible is possible.
If you will it, there is no dream.
The only thing about it is, you gotta believe.
And thats real.

VERSE 2
Im a miracle of creation and I believe
I came here with purpose and I cant leave,
I dont have to be cause Ive already been,
lived a thousand lives, committed every sin,
plus been the victim, thats how I speak truth,
theres beauty in age, and wisdom in youth,
sacred mouthpiece, my knowledge is divine,
ordinary birth, still no help with my lines,
I came to shine, you can see it in the stars,
whats mine is mine, and everything is ours,
took a lot of wrong turns, I know Im late,
but believe in me and Ill repay your faith.
Been the lone star state, Im ready to meet,
open up my heart and share these beats,
even when its borrowed it still feels new,
even when Im lying it still sounds true,
all for you, the mysteries are here,
and faraway lands never seemed so near,
you said wed never see beyond the sprawl,
theres too much shoreline, well never see it all.

HOOK

VERSE 3
No regrets, I love who I am today,
what could I have been if I had always lived this way?
Hard to say, for my knowledge is born
like a river; in the struggle of a storm,
one direction, yet two sides to a shore,
can only find peace in the midst of war,
so whats this for, this mellow melody?
Theres too much shoreline and I cant see,
cant pretend to be, I want to be free to fly,
so I stay high, and Im not gonna lie,
land or sea, I can travel anywhere,
you can come run along or just stand and stare,
I dont really care, Ive got my own shit,
theres only one path, thats my true spirit,
so come get lit, we got the best flame,
several elements, but only one name,
the game on lock but we all get played,
no good looks, I just want to fade away,
its a tough shot to take, but were in too deep,
theres too much shoreline, Ive gotta go to sleep.

Summer Hot
[to T.I.s My Type beat]

Oh so you thought it was over, huh?

Well, Im not done yet.

I gotta tell you how all this shit ends.

Its been a crazy year, 2010.

But we keep going.

VERSE 1
We both keep growing, grinding, getting better,
doing what it takes to take in the cheddar,
Im done being broke, got my hands in some pots,
write up some rhymes, you connect the dots,
these streets stay hot, were getting out West,
be free to do the shit that we do best,
dual residence, yeah, well always come back,
my heart in ATX, and so is my track,
so are all my girls, and so is my heart,
studio in Oakland, still wont be apart
and Ill put that on motherfucking everything,
thats a goddamn promise like a wedding ring,
Texans til we die, but fuck all these laws,
fuck the politics, we down for the cause,
doing whats right, it takes sacrifice,
they changed all the rules, so we cant play nice,
cant think twice, cant believe the hype,
Feds up nights fearing people our type,
yeah thats right, cant tell me whats right,
I got my own eyes, I brought my own light,
5000 watts aint the only thing bright,
just like floodlights Ill be up all night,
so yall will never see me like Nas you sight?
if you want, come on over, then this is our fight.

HOOK
Yall dont understand us, you dont get my type,
when Im gone theyll go sell and my type,
but they wont get it right,
Stay tight, I write what I write,
Theres nothing inside, man, its all insight. (x2)

VERSE 2
Rents been going up in the land of the free,
sweltering heat, got me down on one knee,
dealing with disease, from Mosaic to the Lyme,
it made us both strong, kept us on the grind,
had to hustle hard, man, just to stay alive,
we cant stack shit, we just trying to survive,
and thats no lie, but were coming back hard,
become an obstacle, well pull your fucking card,
lesser men might have a chip on their shoulder,
but we carry mad weight like we pushing up boulders,
stranger like Camus, I still have my fun,
99 problems? Fuck I got 101,
two at a time, then both one on one,
take them to the shower, Im still not done,
work with my tongue, dont know where Im from,
dont know where Im going but I know you wanna come.

HOOK

VERSE 3
I hear yall think were done, shit, thats cool,
that dont mean shit cause I dont know you,
partnered up with B, we keep a tight crew,
we got our man T, yall know how we do,
know what we do, we pull every three,
divine Goddess plant, were on the family tree,
the Queen and the Nectar they both came from B,
and the Marshmellow Kush was bred by the T,
know another kid here who bred the HP,
bred the Dark Star, now the Dams selling seeds,
from another breed, this knowledge aint free,
so we finna lay it down on our next EP.
Top quality takes love, we dont quit,
making medicine, yes this shit is legit,
tell us to stay back, a competitive market,
but were the fucking reason that you cant sell shit.

Paper Street Soap Co.
[to Kanyes Runaway beat]

VERSE 1
Theyre cashing my checks, its my turn to pay,
dont have enough time, its enough to run away,
its been a long day, never hear it in my voice,
wake up in the morning, I dont have much choice,
they say if you take your life youll wait to come back
and when you come back youll be on the same path,
same track, new rap, like a boulder rolling back,
stuck in the same trap, so we might as well stay.
So what we gonna do now?
Time to take over the world girl and you know I know how,
havent seen much but you know I got the world down,
spirits on the streets, I hear the way they speak now,
secrets in the open like foreign love songs
as we walk through the field between right and wrong,
come meet me here, our new life is there,
feel the cool air at night still weather is fair,
cant wait too long, must keep on til dawn,
we gonna make it, baby, so keep the lights on,
turn the music up, this my favorite song,
roll tight, eat right, smoke good, stay strong,
keep on keeping on, yeah thats how we do,
theres blood on the track when were coming through,
call it night train, were tangled up in blue,
all wearing black, and our love is the glue,
theres no passengers here, its all crew,
and no matter where Im going, its all on you,
music at night, we pull every three,
while yall are asleep were out living free,
middle of the night, turn on my nightlight,
Mark Jakes cause our future aint the only thing bright,
Ive said it before, you should already know,
youll never hear it if youre only on the radio,
Seen but unseen if you know what I mean,
missed my inspection so I cant ride clean,
still on the low, take it slow like lean,
always on the cover call it O magazine,
just add water and watch the cash grow,
write up some rhymes you can call it cash flow,
then sell it right back, recycle the dough,
yeah its kinda like the Paper Street Soap Co.

HOOK
I used to want to run away,
now I wanna live to see another day
aint nothing promised but thats okay,
keep the lights on and Ill find my way.
I used to want to run away,
now I know that Im here to stay,
coming from a long way like a trey,
dont call it game, no way, cause Im not here to play.

VERSE 2
Stop it, stop it, everybody know Im a motherfucking prophet,
mixtape drop, they know Im gonna rock it,
cut down the crop, roll it up like carpet,
smoke it like fish, bag it just like a market,
Im up on every block like a Target,
cold like a Marxist, lamp like a street light,
chilling on the street, right,
steady wylin out, drawing crowds like a street fight,
music getting loud, nothing for blocks,
keep it on the low like no-show socks,
do what we want, call us the rock
cause we make a whole lot, Sensi 88 stock,
make the people talk, hype like Flav
SuperBred in Cali so I wrapped up the tape,

HOOK

VERSE 3
Got me on watch but I aint got the time,
free from the grime cause Im meant to shine,

done living small, cause thats the worst crime,
Im feeling fine, gonna make the best of it,
wasted my youth, Im finna kill the rest of it,
temporary resident; they call me Lqoau,
stealing the show like Im free HBO,
teamed up with B, were bringing the flow,
flooding the streets, and everybody know,
we got that glow, with no interference,
seeing shit right, you can call that Qlarence,
no hang-ups, were staying on the line,
people tapping in, Feds cant drop a dime,
it aint about crime so there aint no time,
and there aint no us, cause its all in your mind.
Follow the lines, lead like street signs,
its not dark yet so stay on that grind,
the knowledge is there for us to find,
if you wanna shine you gotta climb, and thats fine,
asleep in their lives, theyre already dead,
cant see the world, only quote what theyve read,
look into the mirror, a new day is near,
and conventions are expressions of fear, its clear.
