We Back

We back that's facts
Couch Money Family keep me on track
Let's relax have some laughs
Negativity well they can keep that
Try to channel the Daniel that's not on the mantle
That's smoke and mirrors
Want to lead by example not fly off the handle
But the ghost is near
Now the show has been cancelled returns have been handled
Still good over here
Got a handful of Campbells soup when I travel
Headphones over ear
Had a stint where the glint in my eye was apparent
Shin got the splint still I run for the merit
Wince in the sprint that's life as a parent
Guess I'm a couch guy never a chair man
Punk from the jump I was loud as a megaphone
Trust that my hunch is rather spend the day alone
Laugh at the past be more than a bag of the bones
And put on a banging show even when I hate my songs
We back that's facts
Couch Money Family keep me on track
Let's relax have some laughs
Negativity well they can keep that
Went from christian rap to drinking Jack
And Did it honestly
So when I listen back it no longer match
It's no longer me
I need to hit them back with different tracks
With no misogyny
This gift of rap & great friends we have
Let's do it properly
Lost in the sauce better half of a decade
Fought through the fog lost pounds call it deadweight
Clear out the fear just to get the headspace
Here it's our year know we making some Headway
Work for the fam & the rest I invest
Not bad as a Dad even Fin was impressed
Self aware good hair shit I feel like my best
Sotto Voce epilogue under my breath
We back that's facts
Couch Money Family keep me on track
Let's relax have some laughs
Negativity well they can keep that
Step up to the stage
I am at the age
Where I'm over the noise
So I lower my voice

Headway
02:34
|

This picket fence got cobweb beneath
And burned trees now cloud up this summer breeze
They spill the tea but that slope is steep
Just wade it out still water run deep
I saw the pie chart wanted a piece
Humble pie's now been served to me
Ego death brings life to the soul
Swallow your pride or be swallowed whole
Oh I say salt will pour on open sores
But rocky waves make smoother shores
Don't rob yourself of what's in store
Address remorse then set your course
Oh I say salt will pour on open sores
But rocky waves make smoother shores
Don't rob yourself of what's in store
Address remorse then set your course
Seen too many fall from that place
Chasing tails avoiding last place
When you give up hunting briefcase
Every day is like a sweepstake
I was feeling like I'm dead weight
Looking back just gotta head shake
Moving forward only best days
Knowing that I'm making headway
I'm making headway
Oh I say salt will pour on open sores
But rocky waves make smoother shores
Don't rob yourself of what's in store
Address remorse then set your course
Oh I say salt will pour on open sores
But rocky waves make smoother shores
Don't rob yourself of what's in store
Address remorse then set your course
I was feeling like I'm dead weight
Looking back just gotta head shake
Moving forward only best days
Knowing that I'm making headway
I'm making headway
I was on a guilt trip driving so fast
Close both your eyelids hope that you crash
I shake my head when I'm looking back
Road to redemption ran out of gas

Detached
02:54
|
|||
It seems that I'm detached
I could I see that
Unsold merch to my knee caps
I'm not tryna see that
Just tryna be Dad
Shit trying not to relapse
Tried to stand out
Never panned out
Crowd funding had to go and put my hand out
Still can't pay the rent whats the plan now?
Man down bad bout feel like I might tap out, I feel like I might tap out
Shit... I feel like I might tap out
So what's the diagnostic? No more faith safe to say Imma die agnostic
Ain't no pious prophet
Just a man at his word tryna turn a profit
It seems that I'm detached
I could see that
To be straight up never asked for your feedback
Pull up to a ghost town and open weed maps
Looking like a tumble weed Rollin with the seat back
Judge me by my character
My inherent worth
hardships made me a mariner
We planted seeds into barren earth
I never took it off the chin without attempts to square up first
So what's the diagnostic? No more faith safe to say Imma die agnostic
Ain't no pious prophet
Just a man at his word tryna turn a profit
It seems that I'm detached
I could see that
Before I go and face the day I need 3 dabs
Pull up to the bar fresh out of rehab
I'm only here for paper tho don't even touch the free tab
Half of Hollywood Rick Dalton in the movie trailer
The other half Cliff Booth in the mobile trailer
Feels familiar used to feel like a fuckin failure
But rocky waves only make for a better sailor
I feel grateful when I'm filling out the bubble mailers
Support from strangers far away feel like distant neighbours
Pen to paper love from labour incessant creator
We're all one crater from its see ya later shoutout nature
So what's the diagnostic? No more faith safe to say Imma die agnostic
Ain't no pious prophet
Just a man at his word tryna turn a profit

I just want to be close to you
Despite everything that you're going through
I just want to be close to you
Despite everything that you're going through
I'm normally ornery
Leaving people wanting more from me
It's honestly haunting me
Living like this it's like a constant theme
Why do people want to talk to me?
Why can't I change my energy
Get overwhelmed so easily
And lose my shit so frequently
Counsellor who's treating me
Ok but I can't stop being me
Psychopath leave my mouth running like it's idle gas
Suffering succotash ADD suck at math
Man I swear I'm way too old for this
And I wish I had control of shit
Even if I have it for a second I can't hold a grip
Meanwhile you hold out your hand and ask to help me shoulder it
Picture frames cover holes from that time I broke my wrist
Never was a chauvinist but you were my first sober kiss
I know its not how it's supposed to me
But you persist unclench my first & still wanna be close to me
I just want to be close to you
Despite everything that you're going through
I just want to be close to you
Despite everything that you're going through
I'm normally bordering uneasy and disorderly
Cut big Pharma orders and we sparking it up accordingly
I used to take Effexor
The ween off it effects her
Whole reason I was on it was an ex applying pressure
They wanna tame the shaky legs
The way you make that crazy face storm inside taking place
Disregard broken plates
Cold turkey bold killer, brain zaps cold shivers
Old me is dead now
On that grave is poured liquor
And so I thought that I moved on from this
Activated consciousness
And patience in responsiveness
But often times I'm on some shit
Lose my lid and common sense
And turn into a rotten mess
I say I think I need to medicate
You say I think you need to meditate
I know it's not how it's supposed to be but you persist unclench my fist and still wanna be close to me
I just want to be close to you
Despite everything that you're going through
I just want to be close to you
Despite everything that you're going through
If I overreact don't know how to adapt
I want to be close to you
Will you shoot me some bail on the days that I fail
I want to be close to you
No control of it all punch a hole in the wall
I want to be close to you
If you give me the grace when I fall on my face then I will let you close to me

Bug Bites
03:25
|
|||
Too many tough nights have got me up tight
And maybe I'm in need of a break
Let's go get bug bites under the sunlight & fall Asleep by the side of the lake
Fuck off with that stress shit
Tryna be impressive
Made me be obsessive
I wanna be rested
Constantly my eye balls
Staring at the dry wall
I wanna see nightfall
That might be the right call
Phone must be on airplane
Chill I got the bear spray
Light it up it's fair game
Spiral like a stair case
Life is full of steep steps
I wanna take deep breaths
Wanna get my feet wet
Tackle all my defects
In my head is bleak threats
Broken dreams and regrets
Think it's time to reset
Think it's time to reset
Too many tough nights have got me up tight
And maybe I'm in need of a break
Let's go get bug bites under the sunlight & fall Asleep by the side of the lake
Unpolluted starlight
Headliner of our night
Didn't have the foresight
I forgot the flash light
Slept just like a Snorlax
Woke up with a sore back
We don't need no door dash
Smokies got the 4 pack
Got the s'mores and more snacks
And the trees like Lorax
Sticky like the tree sap
Now who's down to relax?
Something bout the campfire
Turn you to a bad liar
Make you spill your guts so acting tough is gunna back fire
Appreciate the moment
When the time is frozen
Conversation flowing
Clothes smell like the ocean
I was feeling boxed in
Now that box tossed in
Campfire be rockin'
Air mattress be poppin'
They all drunk it's past noon
Someone found a raccoon
Tried to give him fast food
That might be a bad move
Get up out that desk chair
Breathing in that fresh air
Need to leave the stress behind I think it's time we head there
Oh baby give me love
I just want your love
Give me love tonight
Too many tough nights have got me up tight
And maybe I'm in need of a break
Let's go get bug bites under the sunlight & fall Asleep by the side of the lake

The wheels fell off
I'm still riding
Still vibing'
Surviving
All I wanted was a little bit of silence
Migraines take a little psilocybin
& It won't change
But we're trying
Politician... ill advisement
And they wonder why I'm still a little tyrant
Been crying
You can see it in my eye lids
Forget how it is how it look to the public
The captains a coward I just laugh as he jump ship
The whole entire world just act like a drunk chick
Dance dance dance on the ship til it sunken
& just right there was the moment it sunk in
No free lunch-ins look at these munchkins
Follow for a follow we're all lost & we're stumblin'
In a mental prison going live in the dungeon
Aunty Social Uncle Xanax
Do as we're told LOL to the laugh track
Stir the pot irk the god see if he clap back
Cling to the past live your life as a flashback & that's that
Yea permanent eye roll
Dehydrated side plated coffee and midol
We used to play at beaches now the streams are on tidal
Sick in the head just tryna go viral
The wheels fell off
I'm still riding
Still vibing
Surviving
All I wanted was a little bit of silence
Migraines take a little psilocybin
& It won't change
But we're trying
Politician... ill advisement
And they wonder why I'm still a little tyrant
Been crying
You can see it in my eye lids
The watch is fake
We all know it
But you're addicted
To the moment
This is their game
We're tokens
This is their cage
We're rodents
Like ooh oh oh
We all want our 15 minutes
And oh oh oh
Trade the rest our life to get it
Waste time waste gas waste paper
Little girls wanna wear waist trainers
We're all doomed but we still hate strangers
2019 nobody knows their neighbours
She could be a model
She think anyway
She could give tresime a resume
For heaven sake it feel like seventh grade
To be fair I used to think I'd make the NBA
So why do you stare?
At the sun when it flare
Wheels fell off
Oh oh oh
We all want our fifteen minutes
Oh oh oh
Trade the rest our life to get it

Don't apologize
To our face to our face
But they colonize
Our whole race our whole race
Hear their fallen cries
Lost in space lost in space
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away
Where I'm from the secrets kept
Under the steps, they keep it swept
Seasoned vets, mistreatment? Yes
Take more land, what's even left?
Have the nerve to then observe
On that high horse, to the curb
They got here first, they killed their earth
They took their words now judge their slurs
A jealous breed, changed their speech
Forced them in, their beliefs
Lock them up, for selling weed
Then open up, dispensaries
How time flies, turned blind eyes
Took their spear, fed them fries
Took their truth, fed them lies
Then act surprised when they see them rise
Don't apologize
To our face to our face
But they colonize
Our whole race our whole race
Hear their fallen cries
Lost in space lost in space
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away
Where I'm from, they tried to take
The type of things, you can't replace
They cut my hair, took my braid
If I spoke my tongue in blood I paid
Showed me Christ, taught me sin
Beat me until I prayed to him
Made me ashamed of my own skin
Pass that on, to my children
All this hurt, all this pain
All these lives can't be replaced
All this weight, it's been too long
If we stand up then we're in the wrong
You took my kids, I hear their cries
Then you broke every treaty signed
And act surprised when you see us rise, see us rise
Don't apologize
To our face to our face
But they colonize
Our whole race our whole race
Hear their fallen cries
Lost in space lost in space
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away
No one cares to find
Hidden Graves, tucked away

Maybe it's my wiring
But every time I try to sing
It just don't feel like how it used to
When we had hope it would improve soon
Maybe it's my wiring
But every time I try to sing
It just don't feel like how it used to
When we had hope it would improve soon
Man I miss those days
naïve age on that five feet stage
Now this shit so played
Took the road less travelled with no side street paved
That's a catch22
You might catch22
like what happened to you
I've been trapped in a room with a ration of food tryna capture the mood
It's so hard to be optimistic
voices in my head wanna stop and visit
I dunno if I should tell them to leave or put an coffee and offer biscuits
Yea this world is often viscous
Sometimes fans ain't copping tickets
So I gotta get high just to wash the dishes
Life is a slideshow of awkward visits
Maybe it's my wiring
But every time I try to sing
It just don't feel like how it used to
When we had hope it would improve soon
Maybe it's my wiring
But every time I try to sing
It just don't feel like how it used to
When we had hope it would improve soon
Time's been slowing but the days go faster
I've been getting way way way too plastered
I've been getting way way way too saturated and I hate it because the frames too fractured
Can I pass your test?
Will the laughter get so damn loud I'll stress when I capture
All the things I'll miss
All the strings get stretched
All the wings get clipped, for the downfall
Switch it up damn my egos gone
In the middle of my 20's it could bring no harm
And I think about the times I would see no arms
Stretching out like now when I ain't sleep so warm
Won't dap who didn't help and didn't see this far
I wrote raps when I was 12 I didn't read no poems
So I'm hitting on a 12 and when the 9 don't come
I push my chips across the felt and find a ride back home
Don't know what to say now
My mental make up need instrumental break downs
Shooting hoops for the love at the playground
Overshadowed by the pressure of the game now
So if you see me and it seem like I'm so stressed
It's because I thought by now that we would make it out of most debts
Thought we'd be victorious but kind of like the toe stretched KD on the line no cigar poor nets
Yelling in my sleep it almost feel just like a war vet
Passed too many bridges to be mellow round these hornets
Missing how it felt to still believe inside the process
Like if we put the work in then we the ones to blow next
Truly jaded from experience
With a dash of delirium
New music I ain't hearing it
Just old shit remind me of the days when I was spirited

Measure Up
04:07
|
|||
They might think it's not worth that much
But they don't know how we measure up
I don't own the place I call home
But I'm still free, this life's all my own
I bite my tongue in the street
And then I scream in my sleep
I bite my tongue in the street
And then I scream in my sleep
All these opinions I keep
The only thing I can keep
Oh what a shame
Don't you feel disposable?
Without a boat to pull
Their table aged oak
Your table foldable
Hold the phone
Your favourite team owned by Vodafone
Pepsi ad soda shown
Favourite scene of home alone
It's overblown
We bark loud they might throw a bone
But spend it all on booze and drugs
Credit won't let us own a home
Student loans
They sell hope with no proven goal
And when we finally take a shot
They go ahead and move the poles
No cologne, I smell of gas and the open road
Fake smile broken bone
Real ones know the tone
Now you know
How you fall apart is how you grow
And every loss you ever take
Can teach you something valuable
Malleable, no we don't bend for the valley folk
I got all I ever need right here on my patio
And they don't think it's worth that much well we don't hold value in gold
They might think it's not worth that much
But they don't know how we measure up
I don't own the place I call home
But I'm still free, this life's all my own
I bite my tongue in the street
And then I scream in my sleep
I bite my tongue in the street
And then I scream in my sleep
All these opinions I keep
The only thing I can keep
Oh what a shame
Does it feel like enough time?
Before the decline
We were daft as birds & rodents in these confines
The set us up nice and pretty on the front line
Knowing that we'll die first at least they we'll have fun trying
I set up camp underneath the fleeting sunshine
If we're going down then fuck it I'm gunna unwind
I used to only write from the state of drunk mind
Now I'm clear as day with shit to say and so I must climb
I came up from the bottom of a pit
With my tooth clenched onto the bottom of my lip
Bottomed out but the bottom line is this
No we never sold out still they bought em what a gift
Where I live snow in autumn just exist
So I'm used to falling early and then rotting with the pits
I'd rather stick to my roots, then be low hanging fruit
Let me call it what it is
They might think it's not worth that much
But they don't know how we measure up
I don't own the place I call home
But I'm still free, this life's all my own
I bite my tongue in the street
And then I scream in my sleep
I bite my tongue in the street
And then I scream in my sleep
All these opinions I keep
The only thing I can keep
Oh what a shame

Now that I need you
Don't be cool, it's see through
I'll weed through your murky water
You've been hurt
Me too
Those cuts don't
Bleed through
I'll weed through your murky water
Don't look down
But still watch your step
You'll lose your head
To stick out ya neck
Don't give your heart
You still must protect
Or watch this turn
To one more regret
Trip tree root then try to re route
Robotic heart
Now please don't reboot
You fail again you will not recoup
Stop acting like there's something
To prove
Maybe I am over reacting
Fear of love is holding me back and
All bad trips are now in the past and
This seems new
So let's see what happens
Helmet on I'm ready for action
Waiting on your dissatisfaction
Meet my madness
With your compassion
Watch me fall I'm losing my traction
Been a minute since I really put my Heart in it
Really timid cuz commitments
Like the hardest shit
Why'd you pick a game so wicked Chris Isaak shit
It ain't groundbreaking most end in Seismic split
Still I'd move mountains just to see Your tides come in
And tell my wing man to board it up Like Yzerman
Strung along took it on the chin
Like Violin
Goodbye to my old ways
Wave as the tires spin
Now that I need you
Don't be cool, it's see through
I'll weed through your murky water
You've been hurt
Me too
Those cuts don't
Bleed through
I'll weed through your murky water
Try to find my value
In benevolent source
But the pressure mounting on me
With an elephant force
When it seem all is lost life has never been worse
I ride in on a skeleton horse like it's a Peloton course
I know that most will end in divorce
But this that old classic love like Getting letters from war
And I still can't get over how you Pepper the pork
So I'm letting down my guard like never before
Ugh Fair passage scare tactics
Deep breathe reset then flair past it
Dodging Bear traps
That appear active
Steer clear my deer
Ain't no care package
Don't trip I'm a tight closed lid
I'm a grown ass man
Still a psycho kid
But for you I'd walk
On that tight rope quick
So it'll work out like a tae-bo vid
Now that I need you
Don't be cool, it's see through
I'll weed through your murky water
You've been hurt
Me too
Those cuts don't
Bleed through
I'll weed through your murky water

Open Blinds
02:45
|
|||
I wasn't born last night but I feel brand new
Almost like a past life where I got these tattoos
I've been working on self improvement
If the leader is sick it doesn't help the movement
I was self accusing I was health abusing
I was looking for a way to love myself as human
Dear notepad, know it's been a while
Since you've heard my voice sober
Instead of drunken freestyles
I've been hoping that it's cool
If I change up the topic
(To some this might be corny
But to me it's colossus)
Jetted free with a head of steam
Whole life ahead of me
When I was younger all I wanted was celebrity
But peace of mind is dope as fuck and that's how you'll remember me
What a difference it can make just to open up the blinds
Rain soaking on the pine
Yea my ego on decline my libido isn't trying
Feeling peaceful in the mind
Recently I stumbled on
That I ain't meant for the Jumbotron
But some good people sing along
Tell me it's their favourite song
Yea it's worth working on
I ain't checking my DM's
I'm carping my diems
I ain't focused on achievements
I'm tryna focus on my breathing
Couch Money that's the family
That's really all that I need
When I was younger all I wanted was celebrity
But peace of mind is dope as fuck and that's how you'll remember me
I wasn't born last night
But I feel brand new
Almost like a past life
Where I got these tattoos
