lyrics

Yesterday, I took a picture of myself
Because it created a fixture
Stuck in time and space, it was something to control
Whilst done in the dumps, pick myself up to be sold

Whilst done in the dumps, pick myself up to be sold
As a version of myself that I never was or will be
I feel the need to upgrade myself like I’m a skill tree
But I’m a homosapien with primitive motivations
Realizations of mine being too complicated
I should focus on my dreams and believe in what’s been stated by my heroes and enemies for self-love is overrated
I’m objectively flawed cause I’m not a perfect human
I’m subjectively flawed cause I can only be myself
I don’t wanna live for a life with a plastic personality
Creating a web of lies that destroys binary realities
Oh, now you want all parts of me?
Well I would plead the fifth, but my residence is not of you
But I’m accepting of the facts that proven to be true
I will be constantly loved and hated no matter what
Then how will the shelf of my flesh be anything but
A holding place for recognition of accomplishments that I’ve earned
Though these things are objective, they’re subjectively deserved

Whilst down in the dumps, pick myself up to be sold
But does anyone even care? I hope you do and if I can convince you to put value onto my life
Then I might have done well
My soul’s ready for sale
Happiness OBO, delivery, pick up, or mail?
Lucifer’s on my tail but I got angel’s wings
And every song that I compose hangs into my ear, rings
And makes a pleasing sound to my mind where fake
Kings and queens enjoy my music written onto my heart
But everything falls apart as soon as I lose track of the facts that never leave
So then I reach back to retrieve
Remember that in life, there’s always something to grieve
So take time for your health, both your body and your mind
Cause one affects the other and they’re both of the same kind
This that conscious hip hop, but there’s always more to find
And everyday in the grind, brighten the lines, constantly look for the sign
Never been known to be kicking it, soulfully ripping a flow to a beat that too fine
Simply being real, not sure bout ambition
But everyday‘s a chance to take one step of the mission
