Tell Me If I'm Running
02:59
|

I push my patience to a Sunday
and think about those cold mornings on the subway
Where I would speed-check my own pace
If in a city of three million there's my own place
And was there any proof to back that?
I'd write a couple good lines, then backtrack
And now I'm running out of gas and my bank account is looking like a Monday morning class, yeah
What can I let em know?
It seems like everybody only wants a show
And I'm just here tryna act right,
like I got something in my act that'll last life
So tell me am I running?
And not just running 'way from something
I draw conclusions from a notebook
and reprimand solutions where I don't look
So is there something that I'm missing?
Because I'm always looking for permission
And I've been trippin' on my progress
Like everybody got it and I'm not next
Is it something I can earn, like a letter from a job or a kid waiting their turn?
So I'm not sure what I can let em know
It seems like everybody only wants a show
And I'm just here tryna act right
tryna find the dark with a flashlight
So tell me if I'm running
And not just running 'way from something

Dominoes

I read about the first people with a broken heart
that they brought em by twos onto Noah's ark
to remember that it's not about a perfect start
what you do with all the pieces is the work of art
I thought it cute, so I applied it to the way I live
A little oxygen and effort for the seas I swim
A little pocket knife to fight me out the weeds I'm in
A little socket to ignite the light beneath my skin
It's not the business of the many to decide my fate
It's not the syntax of assembly to assign my shape
It's not the process of the plenty to provide my mate
I'd rather walk beside the fire than let it fill my plate
What do you do with that?
Do you hold it for a while, and try to give it back?
Try to represent the message in a conscious act?
I don't know that there's an answer, and maybe that's the map
Whatchu gonna find going under?
You know we gotta find any other way
Where'd you go?
Broke into the bottle long time ago
We've been telling stories that they oughta know
knockin' down divisions like they're dominoes

Things That I Oughta
03:41
|

Met up with my inner guide
confronted with the frontal lobe
said "what's the bigger picture like?"
The only thing it told me's that,
"Oh, oh, things have gone a long way, long way."
Have I done the things that I love, the things that I oughta?
Have I been the one that I want, the one that I thought of?
Have I learned the things I was taught, the way I was brought up?
Have I done the things that I love, the things that I oughta?
Dependent on a satellite
to maybe not feel so alone
And when I go to sleep at night
I'm starin' at the ceiling thinking,
"Oh, oh, things have gone a long way, long way"
Maybe it's a part of life
That no one gets to fucking know
If we ever did it right
