The Morning 02:27
[Verse 1] oh yeah I Start my morning with a yawn and a stretch My hair disheveled like it’s modern art on top of my stench Clean up my teeth my body hair look in the mirror I’m fresh My crooked smile is funny laugh I got the world to conquer next So I cook some breakfast and I can’t forget that glass of OJ Sun is shining on me so I think that I’ll be okay Write my affirmations get myself elevated Instead of scrolling and hating like I’m a troll in his cave den My feet start moving and shaking I got some music to write I might just pass the feeling to you if I see you tonight I gotta reach as many people while I’m here with my light So pass the flame and let it burn bright let it burn bright now [Chorus] Six in the morning going going Six in the morning go ahead From the thoughts I think to the words I say It’s gonna be a good day Six in the morning going going Six in the morning go ahead From the thoughts I think to the words I say It’s gonna be a good day Ain’t worried cause my higher powers in my corner Got some action I can take don’t care if steps are out of order Cause I learn from my mistakes that’s how my paint be looking fuller On the canvas I create to get emotions in me sorted Sorta borderline crazy from my story now I’m saving up And storing it from when I’m acting normal on the daily To the corporate zombies hating every minute til they play this jam And vibe to every flavor got your mama and the baby singin [Bridge] Woah oh I’m here for the moment Good things on the way and I know it If I try just a little my soul lifts High I’m golden shine on me Woah oh I’m here for the moment Good things on the way and I know it If I try just a little my soul lifts High I’m golden Everybody now [Chorus] Six in the morning going going Six in the morning go ahead From the thoughts I think to the words I say It’s gonna be a good day Six in the morning going going Six in the morning go ahead From the thoughts I think to the words I say It’s gonna be a good day

Theme Song 03:31
[Intro] Yeah Divine wisdom Ah yeah yeah yeah [Chorus 1] And I was sittin in my bedroom thinking of a theme song Ask am I awake cause I always tend to dream long Maybe if I sleep again give me five more minutes And I’ll fly to wherever I’ll find my way out [Verse 1] Another day I’m waking up to broken promises I’m trying to find a dollar quick to put into my pocket Gotta spend it wait I lost it now I gotta sit and ponder this Seems I’ve had some bad streaks of luck and it’s all adding up Should I stay inside or yell at stars and say I’ve had enough (why god) Maybe write some bars until I’m cool and focused on a plus Grab a healthy juice enjoy the seasons of my youth Can’t control the world outside but what I can is what I choose so i Choose light choose love choose grace and I Choose wise kind words to say yes I Choose you if you can please stay If you can’t well I hope you have a lovely day Well I choose light choose love choose grace and i Choose wise kind words to say yes i Choose you if you can please stay We can build any bridge til we find our way out [Chorus 2] Maybe time will tell me if I’m okay And I know I’ve had my fair share of mistakes But it’s alright something will show me the way Please won’t you help me can you help me out These choices that I make they never end [Verse 2] Unh on a walk I found myself By the waves washing over hairy toes and I felt A little pull to a consensus I don’t wanna live censored Scared of how I’m seen until I’m wearing dentures Overly scared and offend bout my neighbors their beliefs Let it go let it be I’m a flow like a river fish til I’m in the sea (alright) And you know I dropped that line for all my fellow Pisces Still reach for my dreams Like one day I’m gonna get it Bring my vision board to life On my grind independent wearing robes and a smile Let that set in Find a place in a state of my mind I’m indebted to my faith seeds growing into vines I could climb up to heaven but I’m living for a vibe on the earth In the summertime headed to wherever I can fly and return With the lessons I’ve learned Someday someday someday [Chorus 2] Maybe time will tell me if I’m okay And I know I’ve had my fair share of mistakes But it’s alright something will show me the way Please won’t you help me can you help me out These choices that I make they never end [Chorus 1] And I was sittin in my bedroom thinking of a theme song Ask if I’m awake cause I always tend to dream long (I was thinkin I was thinkin of) Maybe if I sleep again give me five more minutes And I’ll fly to wherever I’ll find my way out And I was sitting in my bedroom thinking of a theme song Ask if I’m awake cause I always tend to dream long (theme song) Maybe if I sleep again give me five more minutes And I’ll fly to wherever I’ll find my way out I’ll fly my way out I’ll fly my way out [interlude] It’s a lovely day outside isn’t it? Mmm why yes it is little man It would be a shame if some childhood trauma came up right now I suppose Wait what

[Intro] Hey sister do you wanna play rapper and pop princess Ughhhhh do I have to Yes [Chorus] Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me I’ll never fit the mold that can’t contain my soul the fire that burns Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me But it’s more fun this way my life’s a game and I can’t wait my turn Oh mama they don’t wanna play They don’t wanna play with me Oh mama they don’t wanna play with me [Verse 1] Since I was younger Phil they didn’t wanna play I sat in corners of the school grounds for most of my days Poking dead earth worms or tryina start some fights first Man I’m so bored I’m throwing sand at the dirt And rubbing dandelions on my face that’s my war paint Picked last for every game they’re trying to overlook what’s great And I think I scraped both knees on something My black sheep family always had disfunction All day on my video games with one player Sundays hated going to church they kept saying If I swear again I’m going to hell to meet satan In my all white town they made me feel like a stranger Til I hit that karaoke stage I’d sing my blues away (sing my blues away) And maybe when I’m older they’ll all listen to my songs and hear me [Chorus] Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me I’ll never fit the mold that can’t contain my soul the fire that burns Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me But it’s more fun this way my life’s a game and I can’t wait my turn Oh mama they don’t wanna play They don’t wanna play with me Oh mama they don’t wanna play with me [Verse 2] Twenty years later I’m a rapper that’s obscure I can’t seem to win I’m unemployed and I’m unsure Of how I’m gonna make it see them selling their souls For that flavor of the day gone tomorrow oh no I’m old Or just a purist in a dirty game fearing my voice is too small or outdated And I step over lines and toes I’m uncomfortable With doing what I’m told my kinda pen writes bold I never do it for attention if I said it then I meant it With a solid seal cemented thank you I’m never mentioned On your friends top five either dead or alive But I tried to build up I had to heal cuts Rejection is a blessing later on it’s still love I know you feel stuck but wait yo just wait Could it have happened really any other way I’m only this bomb cause they didn’t wanna play [Bridge] But when I’m gone I’ll be here for you in your ear To sing a long when you’re lonely almost out of tears The road is long dark and thorny if you’re strange or weird Its okay it’s okay it’s okay One day we’ll all be silly (Hey) [Chorus] Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me I’ll never fit the mold that can’t contain my soul the fire that burns Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me But it’s more fun this way my life’s a game and I can’t wait my turn Oh mama they don’t wanna play They don’t wanna play with me Oh mama they don’t wanna play with me [Outro] Thank you everyone Without you in my corner I wouldn’t be here today Brokest Rapper Alive award is no easy feat But here I am And on this day I say (brother) Hold on everyone sorry You’re interrupting my speech Mom said it’s my turn But I wanna be a broke rapper [sample] You see here kid You gotta just go for it Don’t think of what comes after or what came before You just gotta take a deep breath bend your knees and jump And you might think what if I fall Well what if you don’t What if you fly

[Intro] Yeah we rollin? Yeah yeah yeah For all the kids around the world Around the world [Chorus 1] Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods Waiting my turn for the kings to fall Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods Waiting my turn for the kings to fall [Verse 1] I come from a line of creative working fighters yo my My mother and father birthed a coal to make that diamond now i Put soul in my rhyming like a chef when they make top ramen I’m a melting pot of Spanish Native American German Irish I’m not locked in any tribe or claim one side that I can represent I’m here to bridge where we’re divided in this present tense I’m a chain of islands still I’m more pangea when I breathe and sweat A human being child of peace that dreams of painting worlds and yes I’m tired of the headlines that trouble us at bedtime I’m trying to put more stars back in the sky I’m on a deadline That’s what I’ll do with my life until I hang up my mic I’ll dive into the darkness just to leave this world with light I’m singing [Chorus 1] we will rise when the old don’t care Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods Waiting my turn for the kings to fall Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods Waiting my turn for the kings to fall [Bridge] Yeah yeah I wanna see you open up this pit One two three four Yeah I wanna go [Verse 2] I’ve been mad at the world for so long Thinking how it’s the end but I’m so wrong If I stop and I see what I got I can give Maybe live with the kid in my songs that I sing when I’m sad heh Wake up from a dream I’m glad I’m here I won’t make fear my path But it gets so hard to fly When your wings aren’t strong and you’re way up high And you don’t belong to a group of sheeple If you’re strange then you are my people We are one if we all aren’t equal we’ll become Something bigger than we could when we’re all alone I’m thinking outside from a fish in a bowl I’m thinking that it’s time to take us home [Chorus 2] Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods Waiting for the day we can all come home Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care Just living for a vibe when we don’t fight fair I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods Waiting for the day we can all come home [Verse 3] One time for the youth eternal Two times for the kids that revolt Three rhymes cause I write with a light inside that will not die let it burn slow Keep walking my town is faded I’m healed so I won’t be jaded My future is what I make it still write raw yeah I’m honestly naked And I wanna heal you all I wanna feel it all Til I collapse I’ll never stop I’ll keep on moving cause I wanna hear you all I wanna feel it all Til I collapse I’ll never stop stop stop Yeah I’m thinking out loud but I won’t turn down Thinking I’m bound but I will break out Thinking I’ll make that mountain climb I’ll make it mine I’ll make it true Even if you don’t vibe every line that’s cool I’ve been on my own wave since pre-school I live for the moment sing to the homeless thinking that it’s time to bring you home It’s time to bring you home One two three four [Outro] Saying we will rise when the old don’t care Saying we will rise when the old don’t care Living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair Living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair We will rise when the old don’t care Saying we will rise when the old don’t care Just living for a vibe Living for a vibe Living for a vibe Living for a vibe

[Speech] This is an emergency broadcast As our planet begins to fight back against global corporations dumping hundreds of thousands of tons of pollution into our oceans and air every year Billionaires race to space in preparation of colonizing the next frontier for their next several generations of bloodlines and beyond In our never-ending thirst for more can we continue to advance without changing who we are Without fixing our problems we face here and now Can we ascend Or will we crash and burn

Ascension 03:28
[Intro] Waiting finding that place inside of me [Verse 1] When I was younger I was playing by myself in rooms for days that turned to years and turned my pages to a hermit in a maze my emotions and my thoughts distracted had to make my way through shadow figures guarding portals so the sheep could not escape I tried to sleep to my dismay I learned too much now I’m awake Inside a fever dream of powerful elites that bar the gates to my ascension But my mental builds dimensions in my brain in the space that they couldn’t fill with hate [Chorus] It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now) It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now) It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now Why do we cave when we get what we want It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now) It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now) It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now Why do we cave when we [Verse 2] Put me on ten like you never really heard this Well you have now that I found my purpose Feeling this high don’t know where the earth is Meditate levitate gone from the surface The word is pass the mic to pacify these pastures past the lies Got us moving b-backwards fast I’m magnifying facts before decline Which way should the wave shift Have patience nah it’s right now and we have to face it Way gone from the days peace feigned the basics Move on from the money made too complacent I got me a spaceship my crew is on to make songs that can heal the nation Tell em you can sing a long or be gone to hatred I just gotta put it on for my generation yeah yeah [verse 3] And now I’m older had to shoulder weight of worlds That grew from boulders to the mountains to pangea From exposure of our leaders full of power yet the weakest they devour All the forest and the streams for our ease of the sequence Like we’re made of diseases at our worst but best believe it If we pick apart the demons at the top so we don’t need em Maybe then one day we’ll stop the overharvest of our mother Red tears from her eyes still bleeding [Chorus] It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now) It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now) It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now Why do we cave when we get what we want It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now) It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now) It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now Why do we cave when we- [Verse 4] I don’t suppose you will oppose if you g-get what you wanted And meet the quota in the corner of your cubicle knowing We’ll be too old to leave our problems for the children that’s haunted So think before you sit there posting heavy potions and tonic Feeling down bad cause we can’t stay up Pushing right back when I say so what Till I’m in a toe tag and my bag sewn shut I’ll be laying down tracks till the world wakes up I know the spirit in me is strong More than the fear and what we did wrong Feels like forever look at our clock it’s going Till it’s gone [Outro] Waiting finding that place inside of me Waiting finding that place inside of me

[Intro] I call it how to lose friends and infuriate people all In one easy lesson Mmmm [Verse 1] In my robes I am free and fluid Open as my palms And as I flow with movement What I want comes easy in my arms My work is never done But when it’s fueled by dreams and love It’s hard to sleep it calls to me I make what I believe Believe in me [Chorus] I’m not ashamed to be who I am I’m not ashamed to be who I am I’m not ashamed to be who I am I’m not ashamed to be who I’ve been Who I’ve been oooo who I’ve been Who I’ve been Break me down to build me up Got my heart that’s filled with love All my people know whats up On my feet or in the ether Break me down to build me up Got my heart that’s filled with love All my people know what’s up All my people all all my people [Verse 2] I was always too soft too fat too this to that in my hometown Mixed but my skin brown I’m tuned in now Spirit in my corner telling me that I’m important And the wisdom I was given couldn’t buy it with a fortune But I read my cards and I pray for warmth For the hole in my soul that was ripped apart That space let the light in Fire reignited Left a mark the sun rises over doubts and fears that divide them Push through pain head up defiant No more rain that swells up inside him Put down hatred picked up a pen to escape the matrix Tell em this my path that’s my creation Divine I see with more than eyes I’m finding freedom in me [Chorus] I’m not ashamed to be who I am I’m not ashamed to be who I am I’m not ashamed to be who I am I’m not ashamed to be who I’ve been Who I’ve been oooo who I’ve been Who I’ve been Break me down to build me up Got my heart that’s filled with love All my people know whats up On my feet or in the ether Break me down to build me up Got my heart that’s filled with love All my people know what’s up All my people all all my people [Thomas C Gorton Verse] With sand in my hand Grains slip through to my glass half full An optimistic fool watching time pass learning from every moment Every small grain an hourglass of past knowledge A medley of memories drifting together like Birds of a feather they fly me through the weather pray If you imagine your life what light do you see I wish you aplenty So you can guide yourself and others through the night of their own Finding home but not alone roam with your people

[Verse] He builds a tower every morning at the high rise of noon His work can be seen as something of splendor Carefully he calculates and crafts each piece of his tower Like it’s more important than the sun And in the crafting his mind is like a string being pulled perfectly from place to place A divine hand reaches through him to weave this web of life His hands move like lightning and strike His intent tugging His ascent becoming Until that whole tower crashes and snaps him into place Snaps him into reality The one he makes and shapes This life he calls his home
9.
[Chorus] I know I can’t rely on you it’s me my spirit’s lead by what’s inside I know it’s far to reach can you hear me I sing the wisdom from high [verse 1] Walking by I caught em staring in public So take a picture take it with you see me under assumptions Like cake layers or like ogres and onions How my music shaping who I’m becoming beneath the sun but I wonder If other rappers and artists create adjacent to the numbers I never do it for the money still embracing my struggle Each and every single day I tend to move where no one goes And Van Gogh an ear so I don’t hear those cutthroat words Of barbed wire held inside by their inner child Hurt people hurt people making even worse people Till we’re trauma responsive and jealous of our neighbors daughter Not yet jaded and haunted by evil men and their hunger I think often when I have children can I teach them feeling god Intuitive and fluid can’t imagine when I’m not But I’m aware and prepared of the cost Of divine wisdom within me I’m never lost coming off [Chorus] I know I can’t rely on you it’s me my spirit’s led by what’s inside I know it’s far to reach can you hear me I sing the wisdom from high [Bridge] In my arms they hold me when I’m in doubt In my eyes it’s holy the channel from my mouth and soul [Verse 2] There comes a time we have to choose between what’s right and what’s easy It might be deceiving but read between the likes and what’s scenic It’s been a decade and I’m almost reaching heights I’ve been dreaming But less outside and more internal bare walking through an inferno Been talking to mirrors more though daily life can be a chore My mission my compass cannot be ignored And those past made decisions will add up for you for sure Karma clean I ask myself if I should wait or open doors If I pray and meditate I’ll stay connected to my source What’s divine can be yours let it flow never forced I feel like diving deep into a water that’s pure I feel like if I reach it can finally return To who I was before this body held my soul on this earth I’m growing I’ve learned to reap what I’ve been sowing to serve I own my dirt and know the gold that I’m worth It’s building bridges out of faith love and ink to put my lows into words it go [Chrous] I know I cant rely on you it’s me my spirit’s led by what’s inside I know it’s far to reach can you hear me I sing the wisdom from high [Outro] From high They speak from high From high They speak from They speak from high

[Verse 1] Oooo I know she said that she’s done with love And I know that it’s only a front Spending long evenings in the bathroom tub Crying and aching for what she lost And I’ve been thinking that I should call Maybe I’ll give her just what she wants I hold her pieces up to the sun But maybe I really know nothing at all [Chorus] She’s so blue blue blue Oh hey can I hang with your hue hue She’s so blue blue blue Oh hey can I hang with your hue hue [Verse 2] Blue my velvet shoes and Eiffel 65 The sky my favorite color watch it multiply Even though it don’t reside in both her eyes I see it in her soul we’re talking it to life You’re locking up inside I’ll open if you let me Never been the kind to hurt you and forget it Similar in vibes cinema she cries Seen the way she’s acting telling me she’s fine Thinking yeah she is and maybe that’s a crime But no ones looking at me close to penalize We can take our time we can maybe hang Tell me bout the longest part of everyday There’s nothing wrong with us we chose a closed distance I told her I miss her I do Though I flow with my fishes and only you would get that line Still I will write/ride it for you [Chorus] She’s so blue blue blue Oh hey can I hang with your hue hue She’s so blue blue blue Oh hey can I hang with your hue hue [interlude] Woah You don’t even know her You don’t even know her Do you know her Do you know yourself Hey hey

[Intro] Mic Check (ooooh) Hello (I could give you comfort) nah I can’t go out right now I gotta do my thing but I can come over tomorrow (ooooh) Does that work for you Alright I’ll see you then (I could give you comfort) Bye [Chorus] I could give you comfort I’m just asking that you put down all that hunger Come to bed for once I could give you comfort Never mind a world where love hurts When you care too much [Verse 1] I wanna stay in bed stay asleep Look away from all the pain outside my window on my street Order out or cook cause when I eat I seem to feel at peace Oh wait we don’t have that here Americans we always dream about A different country in the clouds Cause it’s not good enough right now I turn my microphone loud These days I might as well whisper for the fear of being cancelled Take your answers keep your distance take a xan abuse prescriptions PC gaming still addicted Feeling like our cultures shifted Maybe I should wane my interest Maybe I should write a speech for likes and views no I refuse to be indifferent I’m confused like where the finish Till my open heart’s a cynic Or acidic from the pipelines here My native blood is crying still I have to wipe my tears I’m going under from the comfort when my minds not clear She’s like a mother yet I wonder if my timeline smears When we’re together will my people get better It’s easier to forget it [Chorus] I could give you comfort I’m just asking that you put down all that hunger Come to bed for once I could give you comfort Never mind a world where love hurts When you care too much [Mama Rose Verse] I could give you comfort Won’t you put down all that hunger hunger I could give you comfort comfort Never mind a world where love hurts Broken wings on a love bird Had to fly for a long time At peace in my own mind now I’m saying bye to the summer Trying hard to remember Where I was when the day broke I’ve never felt so far away from home If snow were to fall where you built your nest I’d invite you to my own and offer you my breast and say Why not rest I’ve got comfort to keep you And the things you need I need to How about this winter we sleep through Make love deep as the sea blue We can stay together all I ask is you be see through And I promise if I hurt you I don’t mean to Let me see you let me see you let me see you [Chorus] I could give you comfort I’m just asking that you put down all that hunger Come to bed for once I could give you comfort Never mind a world where love hurts When you care too much

[Intro] Take me as I am I will do the same mmmmm Take me as I am I will do the same [Chorus] Take me as I am and I will do the same I got too high again now I can’t drive can I stay over here Take me as I am and I will do the same And if I crossed a line I’m sorry don’t you worry I’ll be here until it’s over I’ll be here Here [Verse 1] Summer came quick like the sound out your lips Telling stories even if the plot doesn’t make sense Still we looking forward at the stop signs where it ends Like a chorus sung one last time well you said That you always thought that we would be together Through the rain snow clear skies whatever And I’m thinking back forever never seemed realistic Cause my dreams create a distance from the people here that listen to me sing Till I’m back home i’ll meet you at my backdoor And if I act a fool it’s cause I wanna hear you laugh more Like you can smoke a little or a lot it’s bout the company Like you can always come to me with anything that’s troubling your mind [Chorus] Take me as I am and I will do the same I got too high again now I can’t drive can I stay over here Take me as I am and I will do the same And if I crossed a line I’m sorry don’t you worry I’ll be here until it’s over I’ll be here Here [Verse 2] Build it up and break it down You don’t want a savior now You just lit your matches burning bridges in your vacant town You don’t need forgiveness they can witness that you wear a crown And even if I’m mad at you I never wanna let you down My skin is brown and yours is pale We’re on a ship that never sails anymore But when it did I guess I saw it as a kid Too naïve I couldn’t breathe with tears of salt could fill the sea It’s my fault in my stars I couldn’t have a change of heart When we whispered secrets in the day and in the dark If we lay beneath a tree can we forget about our scars Cause I still love you as your best friend Phil I am blessed that we met and together we could heal for real [Chorus] Take me as I am and I will do the same I got too high again now I can’t drive can I stay over here Take me as I am and I will do the same And if I crossed a line I’m sorry don’t you worry I’ll be here until it’s over I’ll be here Till your light says closed yeah I’ll be here Here I’ll be here Here

[Chorus] One day you’ll see That change is not your fault But it’s something we still need One day you’ll see That soon the rain will stop You’re gonna dry your eyes in peace It’ll happen when it happens When it happens [Verse 1] I was wise I was blind I was human I was barely hanging on by the thread of the music From my pen dripped my heart I had to clear out the sewage Had to re-route could almost hold me to it And lately I think the air around my cities polluted I’m used to it Since my mom sold the house I’ve been drifting and more useless And the more I complain I feel my brain and it’s fluid move Solidifying tears crystalizing But tell me why brother don’t you cry There ain’t another life Patch those wings up you can try Even if you don’t hit it for a second you will fly It’ll all make sense if you give it some time Give it patience you are night sky for now stuck to the ceiling Had the glow in dark ones as a kid now I be it Maybe something that can fight away our fears while we’re dreaming Someone’s gotta stay awake stay awake to feel it [Chorus] One day you’ll see That change is not your fault But it’s something we still need One day you’ll see That soon the rain will stop You’re gonna dry your eyes in peace It’ll happen when it happens When it happens [Verse 2] Second winds have come wake me wake me up I know I rarely feel in place That’s why I’m making this with love and it’s tough I promise Phil it’s just a hill and nothing more than Where you’ve been before with tools and skills To conquer in this war that’s inward The picture’s never perfect till you take it look at it embrace it You are needed now so stay and keep that flame lit I’m just thankful that I’m here alive Overcoming doubt and all those louder thoughts of suicide Help me help me out we’ll get there With every friendship ended Past remarks of warmth will mend it It comes and goes in cycles life and death we can’t pretend then When my candles out I wanna hold what I remember Something burning bright in our eyes don’t go away but Every smile and frown that’s on a face will fade The only guarantee we have is change Is change (That won’t go away won’t go away) One day (No that won’t go away) You’ll see One day you’ll see (that won’t go away)
