Ordinary Time

So in the meanwhile

Rethink the subconscious intent

How much of a man is

Based on his moral blue print

Pain is the motherboard

Basis to all your electrical circuits

Responses and reactions

Compared to the puzzle

This moment

Might be but a fraction

Your day to day actions

Reveal the tethers of your soul

I began to break my chains awhile ago

Head first down the rabbit hole

Still came back intact

With my soul whole

Now we moving with a new motion

Whats the cost to step forward

As a man unbroken?

Bet all the chips & the tokens

I swear I'm never folding

Whats the cost to step forward

As a man unbroken?

Bet all ya chips

Bet all the tokens

I swear I'm never folding

Try

Trying to survive

These days I pass by

These days I pass by

I try

Trying to survive

These days I pass by

These days I pass by

Find faith when you need to sow

Hard worker

I show up

Through the sleet

And snow

Gift to the world

Arrive to the party in a suit and bow

Best kept secret

Like who's to know?

Fine like the grapes from the vine

That's enthused to grow

Yo baby

Lemme tell you

'Bout those days past

When me & the homies

Was on the porch

With them ray bans

Tryna love life

And make ends

We in Milwaukee where

It's sunny and it's cold out

Reckless driving so the city

Dug the road out

Cops lights strobed out

They always show up late

Tryna show out

Too many dogs on the streets

With no signs on the gate

I do my very best to redirect

All the hate

True I love my city

But it's in love with yellow tape

I try

Try to survive

These days I pass by

These days I pass by

I try

Try to survive

These days I pass by

These days I pass by

There's a genie livin in my flask

Gave me three wishes

And one wasn't to go back

And change the past

I can't accept that time

Is slipping through my grasp

Some find some beautiful treasure

Sorting through all the trash

Ive found things to be half full

Floating in my glass

I found myself in the sun

Comforted by all the grass

It's only human

To overthink a simple task

Or to oversimplify things

Rooted in a greater mass

I dream mostly

That the best moments always last

But what's a butterfly

To the world if its always trapped?

Coordinated cerebellums

Regardless of a map

Hunker down or get buckled back

There's this beauty in the chaos

It pushes me to want more

Than just a day job

Forget that corporate ID card

With the key fob

That ain't me nah

That ain't me nah

That ain't me nah

I try

Try to survive

These days I pass by

I try

Try to survive

I try

Try to survive

These days I pass by

Try to survive
