We Back 02:31
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

Minutes 03:25
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
