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 03:04
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

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
