(Verse 1: TM) Ayo I feel so distant Distant from myself Distant from reality From what I once felt Like I'm trying to fill a void With the masses far in front of me I'm hiding in the shadows From the sun shining down on me I'm so distant from my family Distant from my peers But I never seem distant From my very worse fears It's the ones I hold dear They seldom remain close Why am I so distant From the things I love most? I can't boast I got nothing to brag about Sometimes I wanna go to the rooftops And shout Just let it all out But I keep it locked within Free myself from this cage Separate the sin When I let this all begin I was distant from the past Now I'm retracing my steps With a magnifying glass There's a Phoenix in the Ash One day he'll rise again Distant no more With the help of a good friend (Chorus: TM x ED) In my plane (In my plain) Here you are (Here you are) There I am (There I am) I remember your smile And the rain All around Separates us Just one more mile Now I'm falling down Just crashing For you Through the stratosphere The glass was fogged, condensing But now I see It's all too clear (Verse 2: LKD) Yo They'd rather I kick the bucket Then help me kick the habit With nonviolent priors It's the briar patch for the rabbit Back-stabbed by my family 'Cause apparently I'm trash Inherent addictive personality From my dad's past But inherently I'm fucked up More than anything my parents be It seems everyone's addicted To the hero in me Leaving marks on my arm, I'm heartless Track my progress down the spiral of darkness To get processed Selling crack to these rich kids God as my witness We got grievances and knowledge But our class is dismissed Kill 'em slowly with the business Or end it with a quick shiv No twelve step religion Gonna save you from that glass dick Hazardous lifestyle, material excess Leave you shaking and sweating Like Lance Armstrong at a piss test Resting bitch face with a necklace Made of fish heads Selling cess to pessimistic friends That resist arrest Hang a upside down flag in my window 'Cause we in distress Snitches send me to jail real quick Federal express All walls of this cesspit closing in I need an exit Might regret severing this connection But fuck it, I'm angelic I'm in heaven (Chorus: TM x ED, LKD) (Verse 3: TM) As I sit back And kick you these phonics I'll tell you 'bout a girl I met in Virginia Navajo Pocahontas She seemed honest, shy at first On some Hinata flow She asked my name And we clicked from the jump Geronimo Nineteen, never really been with a woman On some '03 Adolescence shit And fuck your assumption But this was 2011 I'm working at my first job Steady crushin' Either that or steal from the reverends No repercussion Buss it I hit her up on my cellular Nervous as fuck Heartbeat irregular You got this, Tommy Be a gentlemen Be thoughtful and clever And when the time comes Beat it up like Mayweather You the champ, go fucking get her We hold hands She says "I never been with a man, go easy" Told her "I understand, it's a promise, girl" Best believe me I lay her down in the grass She slipping off her panties I'm rolling up my sleeves Shaky hands, palms are clammy Toss the jimmy on, I'm goin' in You couldn't question Her moans fill the air I'm hoping we don't get arrested Protection starts slipping off Now my dick is soft We had our fill That run of the mill coitus, y'all We dress up I walk her back to her residence Tell her goodnight and in my life She's relevant, end story, predicate Time passes, classes over Now it's Christmas leave I get a text at the airport It's filled with reprieve We got too carried away At the last session My rubber vanished inside her Now she says she's pregnant I'm asking what she wants to do And she's got no idea I ship out to Afghanistan Our hearts are filled with fear Months pass, she gets married No communication I get a message in the desert At the base where I'm stationed She's heartbroken Said she felt lost and alone lately I ask "what's going on?" She said she lost the baby I told her I was so sorry Because I couldn't be there And even though she's married I love her, and really still care Long distance is a bitch An even shittier mistress I put my soul on the track Like I'm sprintin' Most of y'all will just dismiss this Yeah, lil k God as my witness Love you Nikki The rest of you fuckers Suck my dick Bitches

She told me do better Get cheddar Keep your self-esteem And your head up 'Cause niggas stay predator Blast you on camera In these streets They'll eat you for breakfast They didn't see my worth like she did Would've crossed me off the checklist Let me kick you a story from my recliner As I smoke Jamaican greenery Yeah, dirty winding I'll tell you all about the girl from 63 Diner Back up in the land of misery Where I had less friends, more enemies She used to sit in Dr. Popham's biology Instead of talking to her I just did what I usually did at 16 Daydream of sodomy Worry about getting bullied that day Just wanna go home, eat my cake And watch anime There was something Heather liked about me They were talking shit on your boy Heather told 'em "bite me" No one ever really stood up for me She happened to be the only one Underneath the sun who gave a fuck She had the charm, so to me She was good luck Heather was steady grinding At the diner, down the street from the Trailer Park But I never knew, and couldn't find her We could've talked more Maybe about our favorite music or movies Her opinions would've moved me She seemed hella groovy But time was of the essence It was a cold morning on I-70 Heather headed to Columbia With her friend Sara in the passenger What happened next was anything but casual Heather's Ford careened through the median Into a trailer tractor Only twenty years old Wanted to be a teacher, could've been a doctor But now she's gone And Sara's laying up in the hospital In a coma, waking up'll be a shock I know it will I got the call, holy shit, this is real I found out about it later Wanted to go and pay my respects At her funeral, but- Well, no one told me about her While Jesus was chilling in his manger Couldn't say goodbye to Heather Leann My guardian angel But her Amber aura still burns bright, and true For I knew there'd come a time I couldn't be with you When her tears came like rain And her skies weren't blue When we had too much to drink And our debts were due When it all became too much With less answers than clues I know your spirit flies beside me Just passing through When that spring day arrives And you've left all your rue Place your sorrows at the willow Where our hearts stayed true A gentle breeze caresses my skin, like a tattoo And that'll be your kiss to me Just passing through

(Verse 1: TM) Yo I remember land, it was grand With vast trees, abundant An ocean made of clouds Calculated by the hundreds Strolling through the plaza Children played in the park When streetlights went out People rested at dark It fell apart one day Warning sirens started blaring And out of my apartment In the sky, I was staring At a multitude of aircrafts Blotting out the sun It only meant one thing None of us had a chance to run The paratroopers rained atrium glass In their wake, I saw a little girl Who began to shake Then came a tall figure Who was dressed in dark armor I cried for him to stop Pleading that he not harm her But there was not a single thing I could do Kind stranger, there is danger In these words so true My world crumbled around me Everything is shot So I ended my life From the ceiling, with a slipknot (Chorus: TM) This Earth's full of majesty But there's so much loss and casualty How do you get over All that heartbreak and tragedy? Only the dead have seen the last Of war, yet we still sin I guess the only question is Can I just live again? (Verse 2: TM) Yeah So here I am in the badlands Scorched earth policy The rats pick from the trash cans Can I ever head back home Or is it a fallacy? The men I command turn palaces Into piles of ashes You can see the smoke for miles As we ravage shit A fighter jet crashes a few klicks back Another pilot lost by anti-air attack Now it's morale we lack Could we be next In this inevitable invasion? Keep that lethal persuasion Our barrels blaze the way Our hearts ignite in this battle Maybe the next dogfight we'll be cattle Born cowboy, I pick up my saddle 'Cause I got brothers to lead I focus on my wife and kid When the echoes recede From the shots we been poppin' off Used to dine at the ritz Now we eat from a trough Fill up your canteen, troop Yeah, top it off (Verse 3: LKD) Yup Yo I see ancient hieroglyphics Scratched into the walls By dead prisoners with no visitors Strange liquid pooling in a drain In the corner, not water, maybe blood But it's too dark to sus out So I'm bugged out I hear screams As fiends rattle rusty bars Thirsty for nicotine and opium dreams I seen it on TV We shuffle through strip searches and IVs The guards, mechanical As they pull us by our manacles Special treatment for radicals Put a chip under your clavicle And stab you with a spike full of Adderall They snake you while you're scatterbrained Lock you in a cage Try not to show emotion As they prick you with their potions I feel the motion of my cell As they drive us to a deeper level of hell Thrown away in the wishing well Stories that dead men tell when they hobble To the store to buy a bottle Fossils in cages waiting for God or Satan But cement walls break hands And drip slime on dead rats in tin cans Many hands carry me pass the barriers Cuffed for their protection I'm an emotional Faraday cage No signal, no connection They strapped with weapons That they worship like Midnight Mass reverends It's a masculine artifice When they're acting like they're heartless But all the same, I'm marked for death Just seen kids get shot for less Crosshairs on my chest And y'all know the rest Underground execution For crimes I never confessed I see a bullet coming As their muzzles flash But fuck y'all cowards I spit it back and I laugh (Chorus)

(Chorus) Somehow we're sent by fools No better when we're lost I fell into your shoes But only Hoping to be shown A leaner curfew Hopeful senseless sins Gathering clues Weaving into Feeding off the youth (Chorus) The skies are overwhelmed Another teacher heads for higher ground Gathering clues Weaving into Feeding off the youth Closing chapters tell A final virtue Pay for healing As eyes go hollow Weaving into We bring this to (Chorus) Somehow we're sent by fools No better when we're lost I fell into your shoes But only once
