it's time we take a break
stay a minute, reminisce our younger days, when we wouldn't listen we just misbehaved
so can I take you to a place that would be pilgrim lane, say that'd be pretty great
(x2)
[verse 1]
just a man on a mission, stick to my position, always had a pot to piss in, pissing off my pop and siblings
new beginnings, just a euphemism when you're used to moving through em, meeting youth and then you're missing (and i'm gone)
i've been chilling, get it how you live it, living unforgiving with these hypocrites and cynics
it's been a minute since i've been around the children, never kept the feelings hidden, no parental supervision
superstitions we emitted, truth or fiction we would listen, never knew the difference between who we were and who we witnessed
usually moving, goofy, hula hooping through disillusions, losing faith in restitution, i ain't under the influence
[hook]
it's time we take a break
stay a minute, reminisce our younger days, when we wouldn't listen we just misbehaved
so can I take you to a place that would be pilgrim lane, say that'd be pretty great
(x2)
[bridge]
say you wanna grow up just be careful what you wish for, everything is in store, this is what you live for
(i'm a bus ride away from my dreams, take me to the place where I had everything that I would need)
(x2)
[verse 2]
just a, young knucklehead always stirring up a mess
always settled with a pencil, nothing less
always testing the essentials, something's left
always questioning the lessons til' i took the test
check mate, i was busy placing my bets, a young motivated A1 player in chess
deprivated of rest when i stayed awake with my friends, all to watch an episode of yu-gi-oh in the end
dedication, fixing up creations, saving inspirations, if you see me at the park you probably know i'm misbehaving
hate to break it to you momma but the music i'm making, isn't like the stuff they're playing on the radio stations
[hook]
it's time we take a break
stay a minute, reminisce our younger days, when we wouldn't listen we just misbehaved

twenty-four-seven, three six five, don't hit my line don't shuck, don't jive
talk that trash all day online, don't act like you don't waste your time
(x2)
[verse 1: fobia]
acting like you qualified, meditate, calm my mind
medicated all the time, devastated, bottom line
elevated, tell my mind, generation lost the time
too much bullshit in they brain, and they wonder how we maintain
we don't gang bang, ain't the same lane, drain teens, cocaine flames, smoke like an ak
shots fired twice just the same way, verse hit first like ray j
you ain't on my level, you ain't on my level
everybody settle, alchemist with the words, no metal
hide behind your phone screens, no jekyll
i ain't want nothing to do with no devils, repping no motive like bike with no pedals
just because you got cash doesn't make you special, cause real skill don't ever measure with a decimal
[hook: maxtaylor + fobia]
twenty-four-seven, three six five, don't hit my line don't shuck, don't jive

[verse 2: maxtaylor]
don't hit my line, don't waste my time, don't spend another second tryna' take what's mine
should it even be a question if you change your mind every god damn time that you read some lies
but surprise young man, you've been blind, young man, doing everything you can to get by, young man
i'm a wise young man, self supplied young man, i don't even have the time to get high, young man
so i set it straight, gotta get away from the flakes, fakes claim to be great and the ten thousand lakes, with the waves they've been riding just tryna' survive but the tides been so dry i don't see any wake
cause if i said it, i meant it, there'd be no need to repeat it
and if i want it, i get it, then i shall always receive it
so if i let em forget this then i'd be deaf or deceased, shit
y'all don't know about me, when i tell em' that it's

[hook]
all of these people are talking like they got a problem with me but i ain't even seen em'
why are you acting obnoxious then complimenting when we speak like you just might need me
don't play that game, waste my day put you to shame
hate to say you made it with all the problems you're facing, face it
[verse]
play it back, wish you could rewind that
spent so many hours but you'll never get the time back
thinking bout the times i didn't fight back
i was busy writing down my feelings til' they climaxed
climb back, way back, back to the days
where you thought you made it once you hit the stage, so it's funny to me that you think you're paid with a couple of bucks and a sack of some change
you could probably buy some lemonade, you don't need a gold watch, you need a nice chain, okay, you could probably start a renegade, and eliminate every relationship you've tried to instigate
so play along, or don't play at all, and keep on lying to yourself you don't need help til' you can't play it off
what's it's gonna be, be it all or be gone, because every time you try to be thee it's all wrong

[verse 1]
numb from the sunlight, let the blood gush from your gums til' they run dry
come time when the drugs are done, and what you needed all along has been long gone, why
there's no rush, crushed by the touch, give up what we love so we love what gives us a position, to fit in with something that isn't us, better find the one or just drift with the dust
so follow the leader, flock with the fiends until you meet the reaper, fall like the leaves through the seasons that greet ya with memories faded no need to repeat them
[hook]
no home, no map, i'm a nomad
stone cold, no tracks, never go back
no hope, no mask, i'm a ghost that's
so broke, bones crack when my soul claps
[verse 2]
take a sip from the fountain of youth, kids are puking up the booze while i'm locked in the booth
you pick and choose what you wanted to do, but only few of these fools proved with following through, ooh
do you comprehend all the messages, dead like your efforts been, never intelligent
let it offend em' i'm guessing they fell for it, selfish pretenders will get sent to hell for this
but i'm there i'll be back in a minute, if it's show and tell better sell that ticket
never listened to the kids that put my time to waste, make use of what you say to get my time of day, hey
tick tock til' we're off the grid, it'll come and go when all they ever needed was this
so kiss it all goodbye, i just harvest from my own land, start to pay the toll or you won't know when it's gone when there's
[hook]
no home, no map, i'm a nomad
stone cold, no tracks, never go back
no hope, no mask, i'm a ghost that's
so broke, bones crack when my soul claps

[verse 1: suzana]
from your perspective i suspect the pretty burden i've become, to you
trying to protect you by peering down your neck to save you from, the storms to come
but it's pouring out, and i can't shield you from the clouds
you've become the air that i breathe, so i suffocate when you leave
[hook: suzana]
where do you go, when you hide away, from me
where in your mind, do you hide to find, release
[verse 2: maxtaylor]
promise that you'll make it
a place to recover when you've been captivated
by the time of another's, you choose to gravitate with
so much more to discover when you initiate it, so never be intimidated
see i, held on to the feeling had set like the sun, emotions concealing myself from your love
i fell for the ceiling to land in your trust, but got shot in the foot once i jumped every gun
while you're hunting your confidence, through any consequence, picking up gossip that's always incompetent
follow the path that we paved on our own, but just be distracted by diamonds and gold
[bridge: suzana]
hold onto the times, i only needed myself
closing your eyes when i cried for your help
broke as your lies, but i'm fine, so why dwell on the reasons couldn't even explain
(x3)
[hook: suzana]
where do you go, when you hide away, from me
where in your mind, do you hide to find, release

and i don't care where you are, as long as i remember the start
take what you've earned, i gave you the key
and you may forget my words, but never forget me
[verse]
i don't need the recognition, recognize your own lies, given that i'm distant never followed any road signs
driven with no limits, while you're limiting yourself, take a minute to envision why you cried to me for help
so don't stay for me, pray for me, i will not wait, in time all these thoughts are decisions we've made
and shame on the people who never created a place for themselves so they were quick to hate, oh
i don't have time, to take any advice that's given to me online
live inside fantasizing and die realizing that you lost a life full of ideas and time without you, don't tempt me, i won't be consumed by their envy
fill all the holes that are empty because, as we all know there are plenty, so it goes
[hook]

first i stop chasing after them, then i tell em that i'll never look back again
new friends, who we knew then, never knew them, been lead by the state of confusion you're used to, get through with the trends
move with the losers in units and watch them all fall off in unison, you won't need checks
you'll just need effort, intelligence, everything they said's irrelevant
[bridge: maxtaylor]
a hell of a trip that i've had, two paths on the map, only one that will last
fell in a pit, then i laughed, don't sag, don't sleep, don't simp don't slack
[verse 2: maxtaylor]
when your actions are actually something that's gonna distract another class of reactions you could've picked another passion, picked another accent, picked another craft to start to slack in, attacking the pain at ease, while he's better at sucking e-cigs
needless to say, i won't need your attempt to offend my investments i see that you spent every blessing you rented from each of your friends on another cover up for the lies that you fed them

this is the road less traveled
bury me under the gravel

[verse 3: gainesfm + maxtaylor]
i just lost all of my shit, i just freaked out on a trip
i just took more than a sip, mentally losing my grip, bomb on your squad nigga fuck who with
i don't know if i exist, i got my heart from the fridge, this high grade, you smoke mids
fuck the AC, i just vent
you jel, i can tell lil' bitch, got em' stuck in a glitch
if you're with it then get in the picture, stop giving gimmicks, if you're tripping then get out my business
oh you ain't know i'm bout it bout it?
what you need i probably got it, the darkness surround me
uh, no sense of place, get out of my face you're a stranger, dispose of your waste
got a deuce and a ace, bitch i'm so down to space, make you roll in your grave on the road on my way

[intro]
a minneapolis man is in critical condition tonight after falling about forty feet in an abandoned grain elevator
the accident happened early this morning just after midnight and it took rescuers about an hour to get him out
this is the second grain bin accident this month alone
our katherine johnson has been talking with city officials today about what's going to have to change
joins us live now in minneapolis with the latest, katherine
[hook 1]
don't know what to expect, when they take their last breath
watch them climb to the top before they all fall to their death
back down every last step, step back without self-respect, respect that every imperfection will perfect your aspect, don't talk now
[verse 1]
live for the moment and die just to own it, won't go for your bogus, the style is stolen
i'm focused, outspoken, don't notice opponents that pray to be loaded then claim that they own it
i, have been looking right past ya, moments in time that you just had to capture, take a look a down as they happen to fracture, every last bone, they have been manufactured
hit em with the axe, then I never look back, back then it was hardly on my mind
flipping that sack, must be getting that cash, jump off kid i think you might fly
into the ground, every word, every sound that you've made makes your parents wanna cry
they don't the have time for your lies, don't try me, take a look at everything you say, it's a disguise, see
[hook 2]
take you down to Fruen, the useless will all get ruined
what are you pursuing, look at the world you've polluted
executing humans and everything they're producing
you're nothing but a nuisance, diluted and disillusioned
[verse 2]
i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, to find that no one else besides me has a bit of respect
when you're living with the children that were trained to forget, they won't forgive you for the sins that they committed, unless
you're taking the time to reply to them daily, fork in the road of my mind has been racing, past all your problems you're going insane, please move off my space that you're too busy wasting
patiently waiting for this all to go
i don't need that money, i don't need to smoke
who do i look like, you think that i'll go satisfy myself doing what you probably don't
[hook 2]
take you down to Fruen, the useless will all get ruined

It is dangerous, there's holes everywhere on the floor so it's like meant for people to fall
i don't need you, what do you think you could possibly do
to contribute, you have nothing to offer to me that is new

serendipity

[intro]
encapsulate my mind, go ahead, i might speak the truth to capacitate your lies
for what it means to me it wouldn't mean to you
can i visualize it through your eyes, for what it seems to me it shouldn't seem to you
as I fabricate this in my time, cause this may be all that i got
[verse 1]
it's all perspective let that settle into your skin
better count your blessings they're expecting to see you binge
it's ineffective second guessing before you win
be introspective with each lesson there's been a sin
with the days spent in this basement, i've been putting time to rest with my patience, laying down the line to find my foundation, and now they wonder why i've been so complacent, save it
run it back when you're needing the rush
cut the slack when you're feeling too much
don't distract me I'm reaching for what's even better than this and it's never enough
[hook]
i met my maker when i fell underneath
she said be grateful for what you've got to keep
all of that anger keeps you talking, it's cheap
for your creations are what make you unique
(x2)
(Walls keep crumbling, weeds keep tumbling, when you start stumbling, we'll be humbling, walls keep crumbling, weeds keep tumbling, when you start stumbling, we'll be humbling)
[verse 2]
you better not loose track again, you better factor in what's been happening
for every moment that you spend attacking them, you're gonna need another way to counteract the threats
so forget and forgive, accept and admit, prevent all the pressure the lesson's to live while you listen and learn, it's a gift to be heard, once opinion is earned you've been gifted with words, so use them
i set aside what is useless
i live a life that is lucid, so every time you abuse it, i start pushing right through it when you'd be confused, you're useless to me if you're winning to loose, i knew that you blew it as soon as you moved to the back of the room with the rest of these fools but
[hook 2]
everyday we live in synchronicity
don't even want to hear of inabilities
waking up to all these possibilities got me living in this serendipity
(x2)
(with the days spent in this basement, i've been putting time to rest with my patience, laying down the line to find my foundation, and now they wonder why i've been so complacent, save it

cut the slack when you're feeling too much
don't distract me i'm reaching for what's even better than this and it's never enough

[verse: maxtaylor]
gold, hold it, it's never been a motive, let me pay the toll and just live in the moment
knowing what's best for me cause these questions seem to be tempting me, you see
just breathe, let it all in, settle for the better but i never fall in to the depths of dependence they'd hate to see, now i'm messing with the devil through your angel wings
blessed our father, our lord and our god and the king of the universe
i stand as the reverend to let em remember there's no thing as lucifer
and if you forget all the trial and error that you happened to endure
you better remember what's left for yourself when all you can do is learn

The world dies when I close my eyes
I don't dream, I rest in peace

and never be afraid to say it, but if I lose my patience that's just part of human nature, hold up
[bridge]
it's made up of the little things, we just need to learn to let them go
i've been working towards the simple things, step outside your mind and take control
take control, let me take control
i've been working towards the simple things, step outside your mind and take control
and may this be my Nomenclature, friends turn to strangers, strangers turn to complicators, grow up
and never be afraid to say it, but if i lose my patience that's just part of human nature, hold up
[verse]
lights, camera, action, you never needed that caption
despite of what you were lacking i still took the time to look past it
looking back at what happened, i should of never reacted
your actions lead to my absence, you were too passive to ask what had happened
i actually knew that, it was best for you, step outside of your vestibule
invest your time in what's next to you instead finding that better view
it's better than you thought it was, lost it all with the thought of love
don't let it happen, hold onto your passion, so if they start crashing i'm moving right past it, i'm gone
drifting through the open air, picking four-leaf clovers where the grass won't grow
and if you ever change your nature, you've been the creator, it may be your nomenclature, hold up
[outro]
and may this be my nomenclature, friends turn to strangers, strangers turn to complicators, grow up
and never be afraid to say it, but if i lose my patience that's just part of human nature, hold up
