[VERSE]
Things so bad, u ever wanna "rage quit"?
In the dark so long, u start to embrace it?
You Love Life! Yet where one lives there's always hatred.
Examples broadcasted on a frequent basis. Cross multiple stations!
FATAL 4 WAY, tween religion and races...
sexes nd sexual orientations
Interrupted by the old yt men who cakin'
Eye for an eye… thus all the victims lack faces
These cops commit crimes... So who are the guys that'll chase them?
Not even side eyes… frm their wives who laying adjacent
But hell, i couldnt rat on the ones that im dating.
Responsibility for ur actions aint wat im taking.
That was unexpected.
Im sorry im not a reflection
of others, who u got in bed wit.
Can't be bought with sex or deposits in savings or checkin.
Take things i say for the message
Instead i get labeled excessive.
While u disengage from the rage, while im still invested.
I must kno who is protected
Confirm who is acting so reckless.
But all u seem to want is ur breakfast…

[VERSE]
No automobile. No iPhone
Multiple roommates in my home
No signatures. Nothing i own
Just what's in the pockets of my clothes
When life's too fast, i die slow
Still keep open your eyes tho
Still alive to see my mom cry yo
My dad, the same guy from Ohio
My sister raised 4 little guys bro
Some Kings treat a Queen like a side hoe
Im high, but cant let that be my low
...Troubles coping with survival
Who's the one to blame? Am i liable?
...Hard times, met wit eye rolls
...Hard times upon my soul
...its a hard climb out of my hole
I've made mistakes beyond typos
Obsessed over missteps. Goin psycho
Bout to crash like Enron or Tyco
Perhaps i should open for advice mo'
Till i wonder "why compare lives for"
Seeing things your way is an eye sore
But u dont hear me like u chatting at a live show

[VERSE]
I won't babysit nobody but some babies
Nvr see me snitchin to somebody ex lady
Till she wanted something, we aint talk or text lately
when u got what u wanted, with me u would act shady
Dudes r weird too. But for favors they would pay me
Try to curry favor, aye player is u crazy
Ur masquerading parading. All that charm does not phase me
I wasn't swayed by Mercedes. despite dollars to bait me.
Even offers to be next to me. But im not betraying
U a traitor. I be trading. I'm just saying
Kno the game frm where im raised in
U on a quest to be fame adjacent
But can't stick to roles u chose to be playin

[VERSE]
My homegirl is sellin nudes
Ex got abused to fund her cruise
Least her room has got a view
I’ve seen more warped dreams coming true
WHILE i ran in place… aint make a move
...2 steps back if i came thru
yea , of course u say “its cool”
Cant face the music or my muse
This aint the way to make the news
I had dreams to make it too
Watched my life flashin before me as i took the scenic route
I begin to feel real flustered as i start to think of u
When she swerved in that fast lane. right past me
Diddy could not feel as lame, on that last train
Love dont pay the rent, but this too aint paying much
We could have it all but im sure it aint enough
[HOOK]
I make my way to the money
Everyone want something from me
Yet never spare crumbs for the hungry
Only showed love when its lovely
I loved even when times were ugly
No love to the scrubs who all snubbed
Your options are snuff me or suck these
… enough movin humbly

Chase money fore life catches up wit us
Void in ya life, advice is "fill it up wit stuff"
Cup runneth over, yet unsure if its still enough
I just hope i have enough, after bills, to puff
Some have so much, there aint enough time for it all
Sry love, when i find time, imma call
Stay ahead of the ball or behind, imma fall
Cant waste money or time in the mall
[VERSE]
Doin things my way so long, i thinkin im the law
Fell back but dnt think back to u imma crawl
U really think that i wouldnt keep goin? Baby im in awe
Had me all wrong.
Thumbtacks used to be attached to bills on the wall
i hope to avoid that and attachment overall
Cant go back to the bad, which i saw
Tears in a restroom
Nights in the street more stressful
Cops gotta meet a quota so they press u
Encounters can go either way as Bisexuals
Everythings a joke like deadpool
Rested on my laurels thus my nights werent restful
So i rose frm the concrete. Left the rest to the vegetables
cucumber. Ladies breathe life into me like a dead dude
ever think bout goin back to med school

The lesser of two evils still gotta be defeated
Pull the chair frm under them before theyre even seated
Ppl dont care even in election seasons
They dont even lie. He and them guys in agreeance
Blatant as ever. Not even trying to keep it secret
It's bigger than us and bigger in fact than what they seeing
I paid more for dope than my president in taxes
This is not ballin. I swore this was practice
This land aint your land, i wish u aint have it
Just on a merry go round of bad habits
Finally seeing how childbirth is tragic
More innocence to witness wickedness happening
Deathmatch wit reality. Some have a hard time grappling
Lightbulb moments more like lighttubes shattering
Thankfully u can't have as many bad guys in taverns
Look at who was callin who savages
[HOOK]
Yo government is lyin
special someone u wit lyin
Oh yo other friends is lyin
That voice within yo head is lyin
[VERSE 2]
We plotting till more finacial stimulation
Or till we escape the simulation
Gaslighting and berating
This moment was supposed to be amazin
Instead we only disproved whos the greatest
The allure disappated
I woulda made wages betting on this in vegas-

I kno where u are. But not seeking to find ya.
Removing memories. I dont need a reminder.
Eternal Sunshine!
Aint scared of the dark. Just the lord nd the one time.
Still keep the curtain closed when the sun rise.
Yet look toward the stars for some sign.
Life's a joke in a single file lunch line.
Even the frontline is a punchline.
The ones u call "friends" can be unkind.
U ignore but for sure felt it some times.
Dont run frm the truth. U better run mines.
Keep it real wit ya mans. Are u done lyin?
Are u done cryin?
Asked ya fam bout ya. Said u was "dumb wylin".
I've grown frm them moments i was grown n childish.
Now im more isolated on my own island.

I cant ignore the feeling. But i rather not address it.

It don't cost to talk
Loot to my new shoes. I walk
Subs pay to peruse my thoughts
Fetishize on guys who dark
Feels I aint see the sky since March
But still see thru disguises yall
I aint blind at all
Play ur game cuz I'm tryna ball
If i must. If i must
If i must. If i must
If i must. If i must
If i must. If i must
[VERSE]
Just another squirrel tryna get a nut
I don't kno why ol girl tryna get in touch
Aside frm my support i dnt give em much
Men are trash. So don't hit women up
Trying to get a lady, first get a buck
I aint gonna tell u when it is enough
Young capitalists in the cut
Lost in the sauce. Stuck in the muck
What's in my cup? Whatever I ordered
Don't ask where im goin. I'm good at every border
Profile higher while my temper gets shorter
They read my profile and now think they kno more
Ready to explode on foes like a voltorb
Down talk on me. Wow u kno thats folklore
If i set u straight, man it might be forceful
Just appreciate im man enough to approach fool

Sun's out
Guns out
Blood on the dance floor as they run out
Things were much safer at ya mums house
Gettin real in the field. Stay in the dug out
Brothas callin shots like Babe Ruth
Many online takin shots but they cant shoot
1st time i was a victim was in grade 2
Was my own family but i dont hate boo
Just went wit the flow like a parade route
Aint gotta take a life but only god can save u
U can go to hell. Man im only tryna save loot.
And bring honor to my slave roots.
POCs flexin on them hate groups!
Where the hate brews. They take it to a place that i rather not take u.
This Sumner Storm aint no fake news.
Eyes out for the hateful!

WEATHERMAN SAID THE STORM COMING.

I Love good performances

U pressed for attention; want more of it
Ill wait at the door again
Ill only just bore ya friends
Fast forward toward the end
Im out like i crossed u to the floor in gym
And u gon take it like its warranted
Like i aint warn u kid
My partner will go to war in this
And i wont control the bih
She been dying to fold ya miss
But it wasn't I who told u this
Reassess ya role and risks
Get us murked for a stolen kiss

i just want a meal with my father
without a reminder of potential which i squandered
all good memories yet why do i feel bothered
as i grow old i find it harder to get goals accomplished (or was it just nonsense)
as success brings one closer to death
life was more worth living homeless on the strip
it seemed less hopeless sleepin alone in the whip
now we in the haus, u got a bone to pick with my clique.

I dnt kno what to do no more
So jaded I don't even wanna pursue no goals
Idiots in power. What was schooling for
Hurt my ego. Moreso had bruised my soul
[VERSE]
Watch me as i die for nothing
Stop me if I'm lying or bluffing
Seems we always got time for suffering
Can't even keep our minds on hustling
The prey dont gotta fear a thing but the predators
My grandma fear God, police nd these creditors
Cousin scared that his opps may try n get at her
When the opps are cops why dnt that seem to register
They block for who shot; burn it dwn. take the register
If i get dropped keep the guap. Nd spend it better son
Don't listen to celebs tellin u how to spend the funds
In the end its to get a cut
Scratched and clawed my way of course these hands gettin cuts
Moving like broads is how u was getting up
But the women brought the tea. Still tho u aint giving up
Fools ignore the dirt depending on who dig it up
(While im under a rock u aint liftin much)

I coulda been another statistic
Martyr dem piglets
Vs my own existence
I make tough decisions
I left my old nest
But no one noticed
Wonders if n when am goin
WAIT! I just got home, kid
As if I never left
Nobody wanna spot me as if i nvr flexed
As if i nvr gave the shirt off my chest
Owe alot to art. seems now I gotta pay the debt
Ppl look with bated breath
If i can't make the leap. Least make the stretch
Support a black man. Give the hate a rest
Find ur happiness like will n jada said
Did things my way so much ppl assume I hated bread
Made peace with it and I made my bed
Didn't care what the data read.
Or whatever, those who read the data said

Ppl want support but can't be supportive
U consume alot but don't feel supported
swear ppl don't support as much as previously reported

Think twice before u help another sucka profit
They got a cool product. Bet another brother got it

Stand by ya man. Im just saying theres options
Open ya eyes. Keep it locked in

Dont talk to me bout insecurities when ur fighting security
Call out to u but ur hardly hearing me
Our time to shine. But u made it bout u they're here to see
Ur not as supportive as u appear to be
We couldnt hold a convo so i approached it lyrically
Yet now u only hear the beat.
Between our walls we're dolls
But out the cage there're brawls
Fights leave some down to their drawls
Snatching ppl outta stalls
Ruin fits fresh out the mall
Some came wit hair. Left none at all
Some came with nails. Then broke them off
Few of them there, i broke them off
The goal was a nice evening
But the past dont always stay where we leave it
Twas the start of fine weekend
Steered into this awkward meeting
I aint even figure out what im eating
Considered vegan till ya went beefin
I dnt even get to go out as frequent
Im back in the haus nd never leaving
[CHORUS]
im so embarrassed
I should phone ya parents
So they can feel embarrassed
Things u do i wouldnt dare it
But u? Im so embarrassed

You got finessed to side with the same hate subtly
Can't be ungrateful to those who aint came humbly
Pompous leaders thinking WE THE PEOPLE, the lames fumbling
We be calling plays. Never knew an off-season
U rally round those who can't contribute to the meetings
My team had took some beatings. Lost some. Still aint defeated
While yall take pride in efforts intended to keep us from eating.
Brought the heat for ur beefin.
cheefin! Blunt, sprinkled keef in
To the moon Jackie Gleason.
Smoke the earth. Can't work weed pens
Work it out. Don't work weekends.
Job still down. Can't work weeks then
Play with yo life. Death aint the type to be cheated.
Despite who still might be breathing.GASP. Haters mad I aint passed
Not to mention how long on this rat race I had last
Reality I had to grasp while most lost their grip
But were rewarded for exhibiting habits we personally don't accept
Add to the list of thangs i dnt get
Aint a thing change a a bit

Keep pushin like Roll Tide

Aint pickin no sides
Shouts out those who promote mine
Despite who i lay with and the clothing line
Mos Def . 89 still black on both side
Cancelled with that yt gurl. Beloved off the coke line
Miss me with that bull. Get ya beef off the bovine
Like can ya older brother frm the coast shine?
Dont hide. Rock wit me like a boat ride
Without a wave; lost at sea, all hope in the smoke signs
Big fish story. Boy return home with grown lies
Bout how u made plays bout al capone’s size. CHILL

So many lies. In real time we see the real mangled

Thru the day she's a prisoner.

She skips breakfast and dinner. Trains like a winner.
Hibernates thru the winter.
Working like a slave is so passé
Work like u dont wanna have a bad day
Hand on the bottle. other in the ashtray
Closer to the finish line, thinkin u in last place
Left the states in a sad state
Stumbling thru life at a fast pace
Pursuit of happiness or bag chase
While all i want is u and fat steak
… Buss down buss down.
Disconnect frm everything we dnt trust now
Im here whenever there aint no crutch round
Be my backbone like mary j in mudbound

Im not ready to love again

Patterns sessions began in spring of 2019. i was reeling from a losing a crap job and a not so great relationship fall out. during that time i made an effort to indulge in less dark sounds to place my writing toward. anger and frustration was in my heart and what entered my ears didnt leave me expressing my issues as healthy is i felt i could.
April of that year, i got back into free writing brief journal entries of sorts; thus the short length of the songs. what was an exercise in opening up, grew to around 100 songs to date. some of which made it to the Mini Tape Series.
Patterns is grooving thru difficulty nd not letting what you got goin on outside, f*ck up ur day or night out. its real talk over a drink + smoke, in the most casual environment. if "Not Who I Thought I Was" is "the last of my rage" then Patterns is the beginning of my peace
