Anyone Who Knew

[Intro: The Thought]
Anyone who knew me as a child
Always had the need to run away
Find a faker if you ever find a picture of my smile
Show you all the thoughts I have in a day
DayLee Thoughts, yeah
[Verse: The Thought]
Anyone who knew me as a child
Let my parents lose me in the wild
Don't be confused by the style
Please amuse me a while, take my shoes for a mile
Anyone who knew me as a child
Hid the abuse with denial
Soothe with a noose or aloof through the use
Son of Zeus tryna shoot down a true pedophile
Anyone who knew me as a child
And you know fucking who!
Should line up single-file
And tell the cops the ugly truth!
Y'all had the Christian Guile
To turn the other cheek on me
Motives probably vile
While your brother's acting evilly
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Mabie, Mabie
Maybe I been going crazy
(Someone save me)
Feel my vision hazy
Where I'm going lately?
This shit wavy and I cannot swim
And it's sink or swim
I need this win like I need a check
To deposit in my bank account
I hope I make it out
Placate all my doubt, but I'm down
I mean, I bent the knee
Surrendered my crown and I need that back
Because I am racking my brain
Panic attack so I'm napping again
Cannot believe this has happened again
I'm stressing, but learning my lessons, I'm guessing
[Verse: The Thought]
Know I ain't worth not a dime of your dollar
Know I'm too ugly for my type to holler
Notice won't slow me, it's my time to collar!
Rope that I'm talking, call if you're bothered
Harvard I'm walking if I weren't so awkward
Rock it like Gucci, "I might be, your honor"
Spiking the tea then I Arnold the Palmer
Avatar seems like it might be a monster
See a man shoot to the top
After like thirty-two failures he dropped
You don't know youth 'til you choose it to stop
Loose of the booze and they call me the thot
Wrath of the truth as I crash through the spot
Back with my blues we infusing with pop
You don't know Jack 'til you know his past
Gotta get past that he rude when he jot
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Studious natured
I'm moving with patience
I'm schooling myself to the fakers
So no fooling me later
New to the new school of creators
I'm a sleuth, I'm surveying
To see if I can hit it different
Got a vision, it's hidden
It's hit or miss if I'mma get it but I'mma get it
Promise I'mma birth this dream
Sure as yo mama did it to you!
Paid homage, now paying dues
My God, my writtens crucial
To new dudes my verses brutal
I'm waving at 'em like
"Yoo-Hoo! I'm here!"
[Chorus: Both]
Anyone who knew me as a child
Always had the need to run away
Find a faker if you ever find a picture of my smile
Show you all the thoughts I have in a day
DayLee Thoughts, yeah
Anyone who knew me as a child
Always had the need to run away
Find a faker if you ever find a picture of my smile
All the thoughts that I have in a day
[Bridge: Marcus Lee]
Please baby do not test me
I'm tryna be the best me
Yeah
In the kitchen working on this recipe
Cooking up the rest of me
Don't know what's ahead of me
Yeah
But I know I cannot let 'em get to me
Baby do not test me
I'm tryna be the best me
Yeah
In the kitchen working on this recipe
Cooking up the rest of me
Don't know what's ahead of me
Yeah
Don't know what's ahead of me
Yeah
[Outro: Both]
Anyone who knew me as a child
Don't know what's ahead of me
Yeah
Always had a need to run away
Don't know what's ahead of me
Ahead of me
Anyone who knew me as a child, doesn't know me now
But I cannot let 'em get to me
Get to me
All the thoughts I have in a day

See You There
03:24
|

[Verse: The Thought]
The only times I visualize heaven
Are the days I'm haunted by the question
"Where did you go?"
Or should I abide the reverend
That would treat you like a felon?
Pouring sugar in their engine at the price of what I know?
No! Hope I'll see you in the cold
I just don't subscribe to legends
I been lower than they ever seem to know about
Wasn't seven when my soul became a home to doubt
Treading on the thinnest ice with nothing but an open mouth
My heading was corrected with the dimmest lights I found
Y'all ain't been around but you still died inside beside me
Would-be bonding let to drown, had you just decide to like me
I was buried in the ground, family providing shovels
While this man that I renowned was lost and left my world in crumbles
Wound up wounded by the struggle, so much so I left my schooling
Couldn't make it out... included in the Reaper's cruelest ruling
I heard they found you drooling in a puddle of your vomit
Don't know what they doing leaving all that shuffled in the closet
I'm a prophet in your name, 'cause you no longer here to plot it
Sang my music on your grave, I hope you got it...
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
I thought I saw you walk the other day
Wish that you had walked the other way
I'm over all the thoughts on your mistakes
'Cause they were my mistakes too
I just never thought that it would take you
I'm not saying you were a great dude or even an angel
All I'm just saying is all that had met you, they just seemed grateful
A beautiful soul, to think of you going down in that box at an angle
Man that shit is just painful, and I can't be there
I can't prepare my life without you
I'm not gonna lie, I cannot fight without you
Thinking all those that have died around those
Similar situations, paper chasing
In the rat race tryna survive without food
It was a ride that found you, so unfortunate
Wishing that I had pointed him in the right direction
But I'm deflecting, I do not know shit
And for like a second, I just wanna see your face again
And I will not wait for it, it's all that matters to me
Fuck the world, I'd give up my place for it
I made amends!
[Chorus: Marcus Lee]
I can't wait to see you there
I can't
'Cause I can't bear that you ain't here
By me
I cry to memories we shared
Time fades
So smile 'cause I will see you there
I will
I can't wait to see you there
I can't
'Cause I can't bear that you ain't here
By me
I cry to memories we shared
Time fades
So smile 'cause I will see you there
I will
Yeah

Man in the Cage
03:08
|
|||
[Chorus: The Thought]
Sunsets, sunrise
Man in the cage don't see no lights
Know pain, no life
Stand in the shade, let it go by
Some days, combine
Hope it's just a phase that I don't cry
Slow brain bovine
Hope you find your path but I know mine
Sunsets, sunrise
Man in the cage don't see no lights
Know pain, no life
Stand in the shade, let it go by
Some days, combine
Hope it's just a phase that I don't cry
Slow brain bovine
Hope you find your path but I know mine
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Stuck in the past, replaying my actions
Couldn't play the role I was acting, was wrongly casted
Said action, then I snapped to reaction
I'm barely present
I'm actually keepings tabs on some tabs
I'm tempted by acid, I'm hesitant
'Cause I know just where I been
I been on a bender akin to Bender, excessive gin
Screaming inside me, I cannot find me
I'm blinded since she's behind me
I'm finding I cannot do this, where's the end?
I'm looking at bottles of pills daily
Reminded that if choose I can end it, friend
All it takes is scheduling, thought 'bout it again and again
I'm home from 7 to 10, before you could meddle
I'd have the mettle and resolute, kin
Before you could get to the door, I'd overdose on the floor
Hoping that I could explore the other side if I died, I'd somehow get more?
There's got to be something better
Cuz I been over here and I can't stand the weather
[Bridge: Marcus Lee]
Tell me why it's always raining
Man I'm so sick of all the failing
The doors open but I stay in
What can I say? I'm comfortable when I'm caged in
Yeah, and I know I cannot stay here
It's just it's hard when you got a lot at stake here
Just don't wanna make a mistake here
I guess I'll lay here
[Chorus: The Thought]
Sunsets, sunrise
Man in the cage don't see no lights
Know pain, no life
Stand in the shade, let it go by
Some days, combine
Hope it's just a phase that I don't cry
Slow brain bovine
Hope you find your path but I know mine
[Verse: The Thought]
I been mashing down my path like an AWOL soldier
Lacking passion? Come to Jack, have my cold leftovers
I'm so brackish with my tap, like to keep a grain of salt
Interacting with the average got me staying in the vault
Any day I'll have my gaffe and the captions gonna scathe
Watch 'em put me on blast, rearrange my DNA
Y'all ain't heard me out, it's past due I get my say
But I'm quiet 'til I'm asked, I'm just the man in the cage
[Outro: The Thought]
I'm just the man in the cage
That's how I manage my rage (Sunsets)
Haven't planned to get a tan
I'm just gon' stand in my ways (Sunrise)
I'm just the man in the cage
A rubber band and a blade
And I ran from all my answers (Man in the cage)
Found an amp and a stage (Don't see no lights!)
I'm just the man in the cage
That's how I manage my rage
If my wages staying stagnant (Know pain)
I'm abandoning sage (No life)
I'm just the man in the cage
Banned from tandem decays
In my hands, it's running rampant (Stand in the shade)
Leave me stranded in haze (Let it go by!)
I'm just the man in the cage
That's how I manage my rage
I'm just the man in the cage
I'm just the man in the cage, man in the cage

[Chorus: Both]
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(Feels like I'm fighting myself)
It's looking like I need some help
(It's looking like I need some help)
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(I been deciding myself)
[Verse: The Thought]
Hey, that's my foot! I'mma shoot it!
You're not wrong to think me stupid
I know I could overdo it
You're not wrong to hate my rudeness
That's my beat! I'mma kill it!
You're not wrong to call me villain
Know I can press your feelings
You're not wrong to want me chilling
But I'm in my head, I got my nerves
Don't jump to conclusions because of my words
I know that seems stupid, and maybe it is
But kid got his trauma and life is a blur
'Cause I've been a mess, I have been hurt
Stop judging my rudeness and ask where it's learnt
I know I seem useless, and maybe I am
But man out here soulless and still tryna search!
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry! And I can't give up now!
[Verse: The Thought]
The thoughts have been twisted since I was a child
My Mom was oblivious, with a smile
Dangled the carrot and angled the file
The Thought was sadistic, but it's been a while
My Mom was oblivious, with a smile
Pops was the devil incarnate, I swear it
The end of the marriage ended the mild
So I'm tryna grow, make a life of my own
But my demons intrinsic, my genes they call home
Watching my tone and I'm doing my thing
I'm learning to sing! I've yet to atone!
Fighting myself but I'm bruised to the bone
I still haven't learned how to rap off the dome
Ain't here for the throne, here for the healing
Yo, how you feeling? Let it be known
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry, ay! And I just can't give up right now!
[Chorus: Both]
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(Feels like I'm fighting myself)
It's looking like I need some help
(It's looking like I need some help)
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(I been deciding myself)
I need help, I need help, I need...
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
To strike like lightning
I been tryna grab a hold of the fight in me
I been tryna grab a hold of the light in me
Got my dukes up and as far as the eye can see
There's no ending to strife that's inside of me, I just bleed
Sitting in my corner tryna see
Tryna strategize a way to see victory
But I'm in my way always and it gets to me
So I'm tryna stick and move, my G, that's just been getting me
Beat up, beaten down, trying to kick my feet up
I see the ground, how long I have I been down here?
I don't know, but I cannot stay down here
If I'm hoping to see the crown
Counting down, got to last a round here
'Cause 'round here, no quitters can be found here
No quitters can be found here
Would you look at what I found here?
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry! And I can't give up now!
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
I cannot, I cannot give up, this fight is eternal
And I cannot wither, this light is infernal
So I'll remain winner when I cannot get up
My sight is unbothered, 'cause fight remains with them
You ducking this left, and this right finna get ya
I told you that I have decided on striking and lightning
And so it is you guys I'm killing
Control your breathing, yeah
You are way more than you're seeing, yeah?
Got to take more control of feelings, yeah
Got to center your soul and your being, yeah
Console, and you're free and then nothing can you stop now
No opposition can knock you down
It's time to layeth the smacketh down
Your problems is done cuz you smacking clowns
You can be happy now!
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry, yeah! And I just can't give up right now!
[Chorus: Both]
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(Feels like I'm fighting myself)
It's looking like I need some help
(It's looking like I need some help)
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(I been deciding myself)
DayLee Thoughts, huh!
[Verse: The Thought]
Whoever bleeds, I'm always losing
Have fun with my green, it made me stupid
I run for the team, mansions or ruins
I'm hoping to lead, but not with pursuing
Always keep track of the shit that I'm doing
Don't start to chat until I've finished chewing
Make sure my back I've been carefully viewing before...
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry, yeah! And I just can't give up right now!
[Outro: The Thought]
This is something like my war cry, war cry, war cry!
I'm so sick of fighting myself, yeah

Get Back
02:57

[Hook: The Thought]
I been tryna get back
I been tryna get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back
All my real ones get that
Making progress might take some time
I been tryna get back
I been tryna get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back
All my real ones get that
Making progress might take some time
[Chorus: The Thought]
I been tryna get back, get back, get back
Get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back, get back, get that
Might take some time
I been tryna get back, get back, get back
Get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back, get back
Get that...
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
(We can make it)
Gotta shake it, I can make it
(Home)
Make sure I'm staying
On the pathway that I'm takin', sayin'
(We can make this)
Lil' plot that I got
(Home)
Keep in mind that I'm headed to the top
Iron leaded with the shot, these drops is all I got
I put 'em up in my ear
When I'm headed home from work
'Cause I'm heading home to work
In circles, yeah, I search
For purpose to unearth
Herbalist working with firmament
Know that shit ain't permanent
All I want is to earn lil' piece
Of some mental peace
Then I'll be complete Lee
How I handle
John Cena, you can't see me
'Bouta shave my head for my handle
'Cause I'm cleaning
[Hook: The Thought]
I been tryna get back
I been tryna get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back
All my real ones get that
Making progress might take some time
[Chorus: The Thought]
I been tryna get back, get back, get back
Get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back, get back, get that
Might take some time
I been tryna get back, get back, get back
Get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back, get back
Get that...
[Verse: The Thought]
I don't know where I lost it, but I know that I did
Look both ways when you crossing or they'll slow with a skid
On the road to a coffin where they closing the lid
With a hammer and nails, so no one sees you like this
That adds respect for emotion, it's such a solem precatuon
I can't get dressed for the ocean while it's the world that I'm stopping
From dropping down 'til it's broken, you think a Column has options?
Won't take some shit that I've stolen and double up at the auction
Overflow with the faucet, flood the floor with mistakes
Emptied out my pockets 'cause I ain't bored with the breaks
Torn if I'm a prophet or if I'm more of the same
What a wall is to Gromit or what a chore to be sane?
I can't afford to be coughing, I need my voice for recording
But I'm still packing the bong 'til it's like four in the morning
Been so trapped inside my brain, can I get back to the storming?
Such a habit, I'm in pain, when I ain't tapped for performing
[Hook: The Thought]
I been tryna get back
I been tryna get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back
All my real ones get that
Making progress might take some time
[Chorus: The Thought]
I been tryna get back, get back, get back
Get my piece of mind
I been tryna get back, get back, get that
Might take some time
I been tryna get back, get back, get back
Get my piece of mind

[Verse: The Thought]
Camera obscura, the screech of the Kookaburra
Pointing out a murder to teach 'em all the cure of
The cure-all, the Gerber-life that makes 'em more assertive
Alerted 'em all and curtains fall west of Ventura
Mulling over method in girders, fuck a Joe Smith
I'mma get her over here and I'mma get my toes licked
Tickle a throat, digging a hole when the grown gets
Fickle with the show, now you tell me who the throne fits?
More sick as I grow, shit!
Flow sicker than the ocean
Hit Roy for hip, no sis
It's the trickster, who don't know this?
I'm the action of your rifle that jam when you're in a jam
I'm the Good Samaritan arrival when shit goes to plan
I'm the office you resigned 'cause you ain't noticed the cam
Looking like Musubi, bitch, with all that Spam!
You've been doing all you can just to get that honor roll
Don't give a fuck for friends, long as you be popping though
You've been focused on your ends while your charm is growing old
Talking out your neck now, but where you going though?
You talking like you got it, but still got to go and get it
Act like you ain't bought it when she let you get the head in
Human, but think you're a God, it's hubris but you don't get it
I just think it's odd, how I'm the only one who said it
But I said it, and you heard it, so at least the world got that
I'm the medic and you hurting, so at least I'll stop that
Got the rhetoric and curtains, make sure you get brought back
"Man, I should kill the game with Day One", thought Jack
An animal with hunger, the man who bring the thunder
The drunken pirate's plunder while his crew is taken under
Like the gunner in the Gundam, I'm the Gunter getting younger
Getting hung with Carl Jung 'til the alchemy can blunder
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
You can call me Yusuke Urameshi with the Rei-gun
I'm a product of the Reagan generation, I don't play guns
I was raising up this hell, puffin' raisins as a young'n
I was pushing, Pusha Lee eclipsing they sun
Should've probably called me Jason
I'm a problem, well, adjacent, I been racing
I been pacing, Jack I need some separation
I been changing, Been erasing
All the problems that's been plaguing me
What more can you say to me?
When this rapper slaying beats on hours
I devour, I been scouring this earth
To find my match and I done found him
Boy I thought this day would come
This map is ours, got the power
Jackie Mabie, Marcus Lee, yo, yo, yo!
This lyrical exercise
When I'm hearing you, I'm so critical
Critically, you can't mess with I
That's empirical: my skill something like
Hemispherical, I'm a sick individual
At the same time I'm spiritual
Cuz I'm focused healing you
At same time I'm cynical
Listen to all of these rappers that's thinkin' they touching me
Better wish for a miracle
Honestly, think that you bother me, It'll get ugly
I'm talking biblical
Lee is Odysseus, Legendary
And boy, I ain't feeling you
Like, at all, Like you really just bad, dog
Like on you I'll just pass, dog
[Verse: Zen Stokely]
In a different class like you know we finna pass y'all
Trying to fuck with Thought, Zen or Lee, believe that's a bad call
How you in a bar fight, but you got a glass jaw?
I've been in the pocket like I'm Pac and Terry Bradshaw
"Hold up, please, wait, don't"
Ain't nobody wanna hear you
Talk about all of the shit that we ain't on
It's a lot of motherfuckers thinking all they gotta do is
Try to look cool, play the part
Be a fool, swim with sharks
In a pool, fake supporters be like floaties
That means your homies, that's that artificial
I ain't never had to do nothing to make my art official
Start an issue with starter pistols, these are verbal magazines
So it won't be hard to miss you, I'm Yoda and Yoshamitsu
My quota is close to Vishnu, on rovers that roll to venues
Where your baby momma be at when she said that "I'mma be back
By the end of the night", with her friends in the ride
But she don't really know if her friends in the ride
I'm a pig in the pen, you the end of the line, yeah

Funnel Cake
02:27
|

[Intro: The Thought]
Where the moon can't shine through the clouds of haze
And the youth get fried like a Funnel Cake
Find the booze half-price and the truth decayed
Lenses end the tunnel, lemme chew grenades
[Verse: The Thought]
Trenched into a huddle, any crew displays
Benched until the pummel, went the rudest way
Fencing what they muscle from the weakest they encounter
'Cause the man that want no trouble gets devoured
If you a coward, overshadowed by the powers that be
Scour earth for your difference from the cattle we eat
Know your worth, no forgiveness for the rattled deceit
That's church, got the Skinny Pete of business degrees
Who looks delicious to me? The vicious kid on the corner?
Man with lawyer's ambitions that's sweaty gripping his quarters
He so suspicious of the horrors that heard from reporters
That he slipped and tripped a border with the look of informers
Someone should warn him that he's walking to torture
But no one could be bothered to offer a word
Guess we ready to mourn him, got the talking-points brokered
If he dies he'll be honored, if he's robbed, reimbursed
[Chorus: The Thought]
Where the moon can't shine through the clouds of haze
And the youth get fried like a Funnel Cake
Find the booze half-price and the truth decayed
Lenses end the tunnel, lemme chew grenades
Where the moon can't shine through the clouds of haze
Youth get fried like a Funnel Cake
Find the booze half-price and the truth decayed
Lenses end the tunnel, lemme chew grenades
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Chillin' with the homies and I got the Jamey on me
I turn into an Oni when I'm drinking 'til the morning
We break out Tekken 7, streak get to 7
With the sticks I am Devil Jin, they cannot get on me
That's how I'll tell it anyway, to the victor go the spoils, baby!
So it's shot after shot for your boy, today
I'm just trying to enjoy the day
Oh shit, It's getting late, it's time to dip
4AM on my way home from Frank's house
Drop this guy off, I'm feeling sauced, but I can make it now
Make it down to Towne, I'm on the freeway, I'm homebound
'Til I see some flashing lights, I know where I'm going now
Guess that I'll pull over now, I am off my exit, I can see the street
I need to take to get home 'cause it's late and I just need some sleep
I even plead, "Please, Officer Tellerman, we can meet
A middle ground, I will never live this down, you cannot take my peace!"
Fuck

[Intro: Marcus Lee]
Can I call in?
Can I call in today?
Can I call in?
Just Today?
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
I could never really understand it
Never had place, I was always damaged
Staying state to state, did they ever plan shit?
Swear my parents took me all over the planet
First day of school was always a panic
Which one these motherfuckers gon' get all this anguish?
Remember on the bus, I would sit and be angry
'Til I picked up the pen, now we speaking my language
Talk about lane switch, I'm watching my language
I'm cool as penguin, I grew as sage while all my homies were taken
And I'm still doing things that I ain't proud of, but hey, man
As long as mom mom pray for me (Throw me an amen!)
As long I got paper, know I'll be okay man
Oh Marcus, Naïve lil Marcus
You didn't even know you were developing your sharpness
It's a Sharingan though so you gon' have to see some harshness!
[Chorus: Marcus Lee]
And I wish I would have known
All of the battles I would have
Faced in the unknown
All on my own
This world is so cold, yo
It feels like 90 below
I think that I need a coat, or maybe I need some hope
Could you write me a note for today?
[Verse: J Soulstice]
Yo, I need to know, really I need to know!
Lately been needing hope, wishing she didn't go
Why did you have to leave me? Feeling like no one sees me
To me, nothing came easy, had to learn to just be me!
Too many doubt me, I can't doubt myself
I mean, sure, I took losses, but I found myself
At least I can say I know more about myself
Surviving what I thought would kill me, time to crown myself
Feeling like Bruce Wayne before he became Batman
Had to learn that there were some things that I can't plan
Unless I want my heart broken, see it in a CAT scan
Wolverine, Jean Grey, X-Men, last stand
Letting go is one is one of the hardest lessons
What makes you happy? That's like the hardest question
To answer in this lifetime, wish there was some guidelines
Had to re-do timelines, am I in my right mind?
[Chorus: Marcus Lee]
And I wish I would have known
All of the battles I would have
Faced in the unknown
All on my own
This world is so cold, yo
It feels like 90 below
I think that I need a coat, or maybe I need some hope
Could you write me a note for today?
[Verse: The Thought]
Could you write me a note?
'Cause I haven't stopped crying since the time I awoke
My fight or flight was provoked by a list of my triggers
It's a wonder I can float as I drift down this river
It's cold enough for a shiver but I don't even notice
Got a hole in my liver so I just go for the Colas
Got more sofas than Kota, and I'm a friend to the cobras
Tend to sit quite still as I battle my focus
I like to cope with the Lotus, I call her "Mary" and breathe
Give me hope in darkest moments, like the carried ID
I'm wary of IV's 'cause I heard they come with poison
Not as high as me! Feeling like the shepherd of the chosen
But I'm frozen over, it must be 90 Below
Thought I saw a four-leaf clover peeking out of the snow
Just a little plastic soldier that was sneaking in prone
I can't even roll me over, so just let me stay home!

[Chorus: The Thought]
Tryna stay current with the currency
Even though it's hurting, yeah it's hurting me
We sit here yearning for a surgery
Even though we certain, certain there's no certainty
Tryna stay current with the currency
Even though it's hurting, yeah it's hurting me
We sit here yearning for a surgery
Even though we certain, certain there's no certainty
Certainly
[Verse: The Thought]
I robbed a dictionary, I got away with words
I'm playing Pictionary, that's how I slay the nerds
Say the word "visionary", 'cause I don't see the blur
And I'm a missionary, that's how I spread the word
Not the Lord's, wish you'd tell if you hate it or you love it
Not just listen to me and let your thumb get back to scrubbing
I miss the yelling, if you angry then you buzzing
I wish you'd tell me, 'cause 'til then I don't know nothing
I'm the adversary, I'm the one who get the target
It ain't temporary, it's with permanence they market
It ain't ordinary, it's the turbulence of tropics
I ain't stationary, fight my circumstance and stop it
Like the mercenaries, you should know these guns for hire
We get planetary, you don't know who get you higher
Find your sanctuary, then you'll trap it through the wire
Yeah that's necessary, or you'll melt above the fire
I just wish you'd tell me what you think I could do better
Know I'm legendary, but I can't predict the weather
Got no wish to sell me, keep my soul with every letter
I just wish you'd tell me, 'cause 'til then I won't know better
Stay current with the currency
[Chorus: The Thought]
Even though it's hurting, yeah it's hurting me
We sit here yearning for a surgery
Even though we certain, certain there's no certainty
Current with the currency
Even though it's hurting, yeah it's hurting me
We sit here yearning for a surgery
Even though we certain, certain there's no certainty
Certainly
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
I got my heart ripped out of my chest
I been feeling way lesser lately
That's my number one stressor, baby
Spotlight on me like Chelsea Lately
Everybody wanna talk about it
Feel awful 'bout it but I walked up out it
It was all cause and effects, causing effects
Even lost my dogs around it
We all surrounded, existentially struggling with the past
But I do not know how long I will last
Life been striking me upon the ass
My bro said "focus on getting a bag", facts
Hoping on getting Me back, or maybe a
Newer Me that's pursuing things
And keeping my eyes on the path
So I'm spazzing as I travel down a rabbit hole
People looking at me like a radical
'Cause I refuse to be average
Two things for sure and that's death and taxes
Everything else is up in the air
So I chose to stare so I can go grab it
I've been trying to keep my eyes on the prize
All while keeping my eyes on my habits
Laziness that made me miss the main events
I ain't convinced I'm making it
Regardless though, I saved the path, I ain't give in
A brand new chapter may begin
I'm on my own for the first time in twelve years
Daily medicated so I dispel fear
Still the worst time, living in a cell here
But my destiny precedes what y'all fear
All I'm trying to say is that
I don't know where I may be at
But I know where I want to be
And I have plans of making that
And not one motherfucker
In my way is ever changing that
An improbable certainty
My hope is attaining that
[Chorus: The Thought]
Tryna stay current with the currency
Even though it's hurting, yeah it's hurting me
We sit here yearning for a surgery
Even though we certain, certain there's no certainty
Current with the currency
Even though it's hurting, yeah it's hurting me
We sit here yearning for a surgery
Even though we certain, certain there's no certainty
Current with the currency
Even though it's hurting, yeah it's hurting me
We sit here yearning for a surgery
Even though we certain, certain there's no certainty
Certainly

Damn (feat. Whose)

[Verse: Whose]
I sit and ask myself, "what's my worth?"
Every past second dedicated to the search
Conflict of interest made me flinch at every word
My life a sacrifice to the imp of the perverse
Wait, that's the notification buzzing
Forgot to take my meds, I've got them ordered like a baker's dozen
Making nothing, fate disgruntled, I am my grudges
And I hate this constant chase for substance
I can't break these cuffs and, woah-woah-woah
Oh no, everyday in slow mode
For sure, so cold, gotta row the boat
What I've felt like since a young woah, yeah, yeah
[Verse: The Thought]
I been ruffage in a garbage bin
Stoned alone in my apartment
Blowing O's 'til I'm loading up another cartridge
The PS4 is getting started
All these self-destructive tendencies
She don't give a fuck so she a 10 to me
Drowning in the Dead Sea, call it tenancy
Hope you seeing how the darkness been a friend to me
I need some clemency, for the hubris
I'm not your enemy, I'm only human
I don't fuck with ketamine, it makes me useless
And stupid, all I can mutter is damn...
[Verse: Whose]
I'm getting down on myself
With this abiding hunt for the wealth
They say I can reach out to help
That feels like I'm just hurting myself
Catch a look at the shelf
Too many memories, regrets
That's where my secrets were kept
Gotta remember that my path stays set
All I can mutter is damn...
[Bridge: Marcus Lee]
Ohhhh
I got some many issues
I need tissues
Really I just need help
Ohhhh
I just need help
[Verse: The Thought]
I been dealing with some problems that I'd
Rather not admit that I got
I need a fifth, not a shot
You better give what you got
Do you follow?
I'm a bit behind the curve but I thought
That you would give me a slot
If I could prove I was hot
Share my vision
Or you thinking that I'm whack on the spot
I'll get you back with a plot
Oh, who we kidding?
I've been living in the trash
Right next to every little thing that you dropped
I really pity who copped
Them wasted listens!
I can see you make a killing
And it's taking all the strength that I got
To just wait out the clock
And keep from bitching
I've been itching for a switch
Of who the pistols in the hands of
All I can mutter is damn...
[Chorus: Marcus Lee]
Damn
I'm in a stand off
I just been missing the hand off
Stuck in a rut with my pants off
All I can mutter is...
Damn
I try to fix it I can't dawg
This self destruction is planned dawg
Confidence something I Stan dawg
But all I can mutter is...
Damn
I'm in a stand off
I just been missing the hand off
Stuck in a rut with my pants off
All I can mutter is...
Damn
I try to fix it I can't dawg
This self destruction is planned dawg
Confidence something I Stan dawg
But all I can mutter is...
Damn
[Outro: The Thought]
God damn it

[Verse: The Thought]
I've been hanging to it all on a shoestring
Who's the Pretty China Doll? She's my boo-thang
Tell me, who rang? 'Cause I'm expecting a call
Do you fight or do you crumble with your back on the wall?
Asked if I could stand tall, they said "You may"
That defeats the whole purpose, I do say
No excuses, better give us our due pay
'Cause this barely counts as living
[Chorus: The Thought]
I'm sick of the goose eggs
Got the zeroes that you'd hate
My bank account look like someone stole my identity
Seems revolution's the remedy
I've been hanging to all on a shoestring
Now I'm sick of the goose eggs
I could drown on land, on account of my density
So the banks never lend to me and I'm low on necessities, yeah
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
I was working a lot, it was hard
But I'm a gentleman
She want better, I'm spending it all
Breakfast in bed again
Ever since I had meddled with handling
With a head of gin
I been giving the government all my pennies
They hemorrhaging
Been going through it all at my job
This guy been playing me
I'm thinking that he may just get robbed
I need my pay, 'cause B
I been living out of my car, I don't feel like a star
I just feel like a bum, and um, yeah
I'm over fighting you for just for crumbs
When I do all the shit in this bitch while you out having fun
I mean really it's dumb
I mean really just come on, my guy
I need a come up and I
Know you got something and I
Lately been wondering if I come through at midnight, I got keys
Could turn of the cameras, because I know where they be
Password's right on the screen, take the cash and I flee
But that would be a disaster, they'd have to know it was me
But shit, G
[Chorus: The Thought]
I'm sick of the goose eggs
Got the zeroes that you'd hate
My bank account look like someone stole my identity
Seems revolution's the remedy
I've been hanging to all on a shoestring
Now I'm sick of the goose eggs
I could drown on land, on account of my density
So the banks never lend to me and I'm low on necessities, yeah
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
So, I'm at the money store, making ruckus, sipping tea
Slanging plenty melodies, hope that changes me for me
Either way, we royalty, run that shit back
Watch me bullet through the heavens, this a diss track
Clipped an angel, kept the halo, never went back
And I'll admit that, I couldn't pimp these butterflies
But I see ghosts all of the time, most are clearly in the lines
Not the rails he dreamt to ride, spending zeroes on the high
'Cause I'm rich in the mind, I'm with your bitch and she fly
She say my flowing should stop, slipping wisdom for wine
I ask father of all motherfuckers, drunk off the vibe
Whether rhymes, like dimes, hope this ain't your prime
We can't let shit slide, please take your time
Travel when I ramble 'cause I can't afford to lie
We start smoking by the digits 'cause these classics you can't find
Making more than just the dimes...
[Chorus: The Thought]
I'm sick of the goose eggs
Got the zeroes that you'd hate
My bank account look like someone stole my identity
Seems revolution's the remedy
I've been hanging to all on a shoestring
Now I'm sick of the goose eggs
I could drown on land, on account of my density
So the banks never lend to me and I'm low on necessities, yeah

Rhythm of the Raindrops
02:19
|

[Chorus: The Thought]
Don't you blame me for the rhythm of the raindrops
'Cause the pain don't bother me
Nor why the faith ain't but an inkblot
Call your prayers "dishonesty"
Who caught the rhythm of the raindrops?
Felt flushed with modesty?
There ain't no way you gave the grave nod
Praise God! Say it ain't so!
[Verse: The Thought]
Chasing rainbows, lemme change clothes!
I been living a pot of soil
With the same flow as the angels
That been boiling in the holy oil
On the way up, or the way down
Didn't pay enough for the evening gown
Follow raindrops 'til I'm face-down
Stay drowned, or I'll find my way around
Guided by the rhythm of the raindrops
Ain't hiding those from you!
I'm writing nothing if the train stops
So please don't mind my blues
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Lee, I wear my heart on my sleeve
And through my heart I conceive
These demon dark as the art as I draw
I oughta receive
Maybe a pardon at least, or shit, a party
I'm learning this shit a part of me
Darkness, baby, I'm starting to breathe
The rain ain't bothering me
In fact so I'm unbothered by it I'm walking with glee
I've gotten used to the awkward way I traverse on this earth
And though I felt worthless and dirty
The rain been washing me clean, I hit wop 'cause my G
This shit cathartic, I view it as pseudo-armor
I'm use to just losing often, the clueless Intuit author
But when in rain, I get through it, refuting the ruined thoughts
Producing the new results, transmuting for fuel we lost
Feeling bad that I was here when I truly knew
That the slog would be fruitful
I planted seeds a long time ago for the water
I knew though
We grow in harsh conditions
Where it's hard to win and
We get told never to parse the ceiling
So here there are no ceilings
[Chorus: The Thought]
Don't you blame me for the rhythm of the raindrops
'Cause the pain don't bother me
Nor why the faith ain't but an inkblot
Call your prayers "dishonesty"
Who caught the rhythm of the raindrops?
Felt flushed with modesty?
There ain't no way you gave the grave nod
Praise God!

Floor Guides
02:31
|

[Verse: The Thought]
I can guide you through the tunnel
Which way you want to go?
It really ain't no trouble
I've been and know it's possible
You know, it's probable
You'd have to double-back
Don't assume a man of hatred
When my love is on the wax
The first testament and testimony
Tested men, the rest are phony
Bursts of excess estrogen
Up through holy matrimony
Blessings came and went
The less I stress the more bologna
Abalone in the accent
On the alabaster pony
And I'm acting like a master on me
Ain't a massive fear
Like my hazards on
We slowing down the whip to steer
Oh dear, the bastard's gone attracted
All the vagrants that were near
Don the laughter, John
Dad is long last up out your ear
And I doubt he hears a word
'Cause he never shed a tear
For all he did within the blur
He turned a kid into a beer
You don't got to be a seer
To see the system fails
Once the seas are kind of clear
I'll let you venture on my sails
[Hook: The Thought]
If I don't impress you
You just don't know what to look for
You never met a floor guide
Curses we call blessings
You can call us up and book tours
We can show you both sides
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Young Man, 17, pitching rocks up out the window
With Indo clouds up in Menlo
I didn't know I'd take this path for sure
Man, I just wanted clothes
New shoes were just my excuse to bother you
Robbed a few, "How kind of you bro"
Don't have to tell me, I know, I feel bad
For doin bad to the people that knew that I had nothing
Said fuck 'em and took their dough
Like "I need it way more than you"
Justification for situations in which my moral view
Was twisted and skewed, was missing in school
I was bending the rules
According to momma, I'm sinning in full, for real
I needed a change so I arranged it
Finally waking up in the day, yes I can face this!
[Chorus: Both]
If I don't impress you
You just don't know what to look for
You never met a floor guide
Curses we call blessings
You can call us up and book tours
We can show you both sides
We just some floor guides
Take you down the tunnel
Anyway that it go
Take the coarse and make it more fine
More or less endorsing
Y'all just go with our flow
If I don't impress you
You just don't know what to look for
You never met a floor guide
Curses we call blessings
You can call us up and book tours
We can show you both sides
We just some floor guides
Take you down the tunnel
Anyway that it go
Take the coarse and make it more fine
More or less endorsing
Y'all just go with our flow
Woah

[Verse: Marcus Lee]
I been walking through this darkness
Think it's bout time that harness this (Shit here)
Got the power of the gauntlet
I'm on roll, I think I may going far this year (But)
But what I'm working with is timeless (So)
I'm a get it just as long I keep grinding (Yo)
I'm a winner; "Winner-winner
Chicken dinner", I'm surviving!
Know I'm leaning heavy on my writing
My drive is as smooth as a Chevy's
As when I'm riding on tracks
I'm relaxing, my nigga, I'm not excited
I'm working, that is difference between us
See, I put work on my thesis so I may dip into genius
My lyrics strip me of demons, mentally living in me that
Seem to restrict me from breathing
On this, forgive me as I'm giving away
Living on a day to day basis: the main status is
Try to keep from staying in stasis
And try to stay in my cadence
So I'm balanced
See I lost it, but I found it
Tried to force it, but I wound up
Just drowning in my losses
And of course, kid
With her is where my heart is
Why I'm heartless
[Chorus: Konami Homi]
I been stuck on broken time
Ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
Day restart but my heart still missing
Shroom trip, crew dip, mind keep tripping
I been stuck on broken time
Ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
I see the clock change but it all stay consistent
One day you born, next day you reminiscing
I been stuck on broken time
Ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
Day restart but my heart still missing
Shroom trip, crew dip, mind keep tripping
[Verse: Konami Homi]
Enlighten me, enlighten me, enlighten me
The trinity is One, I'm standing in the dark
Do I want to know my fate?
It's nice to see the price of peace is life and breathe
Tranquility will come, don't let the demon stay, no!
Ravens at my door, heartbeat's in the floor
I see life flashing, flashing
Women scream "forevermore", praising lords
They may seem flashy, flashy
Teardrops from the sky, no greater love
No greater love, than the love you...
[Verse: The Thought]
No greater love than the love you give
Reason I can live, I'll read your hieroglyphs
Eyes defied by diatribes in private, quiet rivalries
Race against the timing, hyper-primed by my anxiety
Ask me for a ride when you deprived but won't say "Hi" to me
Tried to hide the ruins but my life is still contrived to read
Loose me with a lion and you might just have a bite of meat
Loose leaf and vagina, that's like all I need to write in peace
Calling Carolina, 'til Jermaine got dotted lines for me
But I don't need to sign, just entertain the opportunities
You won't get it through to me, unless it's new to me
Or knew, and thought it through, before you drew that useless picture
You dismissing what you do through misuses of the scripture
Getting richer of the coup than even Putin's favorite trigger-man
[Chorus: Konami Homi]
I been stuck on broken time
Ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
Day restart but my heart still missing
Shroom trip, crew dip, mind keep tripping
I been stuck on broken time
Ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
I see the clock change but it all stay consistent
One day you born, next day you reminiscing
I been stuck on broken time
Ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
Day restart but my heart still missing
Shroom trip, crew dip, mind keep tripping
Tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping

Make it Out
03:29
|

[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Yeah
Frustrated, mind is racing
As I am pacing, trying to find the strength to face this
Uphill I'm facing, I've been casing out this newfound life
Think I'mma make it, only thing that I have newfound strife
Saying "I'm wasting away", saying "I'm nothing, but just adjacent
To basic, I'm phased!". Misshapen, my view is just skewed
I stay in a daze, so do I don't go overthinking the whole scenario
Like "If I fail, then silence has been with people I barely know"
There we go, my brothers lift me up when I need a boost
Probably why I keep the Juice handy as if Lee could lose
Still I wrestle with the fact that we could lose
Frankly I've been feeling kind of weak for 'bout a week or two
Working myself to the bone, barely to survive
Something's got to change, my surroundings and my frame of mind
Just look at different angles, God, see how I just change my mind?
I know the tools to use but I don't use 'em, I just stay in mines
[Bridge: Marcus Lee]
I just wanna, wanna know where I'm supposed to go
When I feel my back is stuck on the ropes
I can't help but think of when I'm gonna go
Depression is a lesson, am I, am I gonna go?
I just gotta take it one, one day at a time
All I have to say, I just play in rhymes
That's all I have, all I have, it's all I have to give
That's all I have, all I have
[Chorus: Both]
(I just wanna make it out)
Watch 'em kill a man for a little
Bit of paper, get a gun, there's some blood in the street!
(But they keep pulling me down!)
Watch the people crowd around like they're doing him a favor
Until later when the fuzz says there's nothing to see!
(I just wanna make it out)
In a couple months, watch 'em write it in the paper
Nothing major, just an accidental ceasing-to-be!
(But they keep pulling me down!)
One we had enough of them covering the danger
Take the wager, teaming up with our brothers in need!
[Verse: The Thought]
We could call their bluff if we playing off their nature
Treating labor to the scraps that they cut from their meat
We could throw some cuffs on the hands of the Mayors
That don't stand for their neighbors that's just trying to eat
We don't have to trust all the corporate invaders
Orchard acres getting torched at a hundred degrees
I don't have to love you to show you my Maker
He's a stranger to the faithful of capital G
I won't wear no gloves when I show you my layers
I ain't ashamed of the way that I be
I don't mean to rub you the wrong way, wrong way
I'll take the blame for the failures of me
Even on closer examination, I deserve your patience
'Cause my display is unique, decay the speech
[Bridge: The Thought]
You don't got the struggles of the youth on your radar
You just in the tunnel and the truth has an Abar
"I don't want no trouble, I just wanna watch from afar"
Headass, you would watch us double-up the graveyard
And never do a thing 'cause we to you do not compare
So when the fat lady sings know that you will not be spared
It's a culture that we bring, that of focusing your stare
And our movement glistening in the future if we care
[Chorus: Both]
(I just wanna make it out)
Watch 'em kill a man for a little
Bit of paper, get a gun, there's some blood in the street!
(But they keep pulling me down!)
Watch the people crowd around like they're doing him a favor
Until later when the fuzz says there's nothing to see!
(I just wanna make it out)
In a couple months, watch 'em write it in the paper
Nothing major, just an accidental ceasing-to-be!
(But they keep pulling me down!)
One we had enough of them covering the danger
Take the wager, teaming up with our brothers in need!

[Intro: All]
Every song we make is a banger
That's the DayLee Thoughts guarantee
Every song we make is a banger
That's the DayLee Thoughts guarantee
[Verse: The Thought]
Martian on your throat
Waka Flocka still the GOAT
Beg your pardon, bitch, don't quote
I'd be honored if you vote for me
I'll be marching down the road
Burning Vodka on your float
I been pondering the way
My self-doubt slows my rhythm
Why we bothering to pay these amounts
Just for living?
Not a father yet, too worried that I
Can't provide provisions
Who's this Father Time I haven't met
Bee-lining toward collision?
And I'm in position
Haven't had a Miss since Spanish Inquisitions
Didn't mean to blow your mind
With badass descriptions
I'm only sad 'til you listen
Then I'm a spaz for the critics
I don't feel bad when I glisten, I'm nitroglycerin!
And that's word to Mrs. Richardson
Given I'm a nerd she let me
Lecture in the interim
Texture of the Benjamins
Ain't marbles to me
So I marvel in the messages
And let Marcus Lee bless 'em
[Chorus: Marcus Lee]
Switching lanes and switching schools of thought
And I won't change it, I'll take you to war
Yeah, I no longer idle by
I'm biding my time
For more
(I want it more, I want it more)
I want it more, yeah
(I need it more, I need it more)
[Verse: Zen Stokely]
At the heart of all activity I'm moving like a Pacemaker
Discarded the toxic masculinity and gained favor
So you could either be a critic or a game changer
I'm The Chronicles of Riddick to the nay-sayors
Caped crusader, Rondo Paper
Chilling in the cosmos, Cosmo Kramer
King Hill lawn-mow, drop-low taper
Archer with the long-bow, stronghold major
Style grease like Blue Magic, Percy Jackson with the static
Feasting like a newborn, Chiefing when I'm chewing magnets
Boost Mobile chirping, remember when we had a phone?
Birds on a wire, like we watching Indiana Jones?
Out in Indiana in pajamas from a catacomb
Antennas speaking while you peek into a rabbit hole
I've been grounded like some coffee, that's a frappe to go
Splash the soul, acceptance is to have control
[Chorus: Marcus Lee]
Switching lanes and switching schools of thought
And I won't change it, I'll take you to war
Yeah, I no longer idle by
I'm biding my time
For more
(I want it more, I want it more)
I want it more, yeah
(I need it more, I need it more)
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
More than pretty, I'm convinced
Ain't no pity if you're pissed
Fucking pillage for your bliss
Still piss? You pricks...
Like the gimmicks? Just the gist
Cryptic keys the favor fixed
Fucking sic 'em, paint a flick
I'd watch your 6
As we plummet for a bit
Learn to love it, life a bitch
Burning bridges with a glimpse
So crisp her spliff
Got me holy for a hit
I meant only for a bit... shit
Coexist with the clique
Reminisce off script
Split the diff, in the pit
Smoking cosmic ploys
Like a frostbit fluke
This nostalgic void
Just the quantum soup
Yeah, the constant clear
I believe in you
Put that shit in gear
We ain't here to lose
More than miniscule, Brittle Blues
You!
[Chorus: Marcus Lee]
Switching lanes and switching schools of thought
And I won't change it, I'll take you to war
(Take you to war, take you to war, take you to war...)
I no longer idle by
I'm biding my time
For more
More! More!
I need it more
More, More, yeah

I've Had Enough
03:51
|

[Verse: Marcus Lee]
You can go I'm used to it
I was feeling kind of used through it
Honestly I couldn't see I was blocking my view through it
Since I fell down the pedestal you had me on
Yeah after that, that's when I start to feel like a tag a long
I'm aware off the error living in my brain
But wishing that I never went to therapy's a bit insane
Yeah I get it, I was always there for you
So much so, that I wasn't there for me and there's the truth
When I was lost, there was you, right where you're supposed to be
'Til you couldn't be, and I don't blame you, 'cause it's quite a load to be
Carrying around, and you didn't sign up for this
I saw the meter slow building up, she had enough of this
It's nearing on a year since we split and it's still fucking with my brain
I feel that I've been withering away
As I'm dithering to take this next step in life
I know I am sick of living with this weight and
[Chorus: Marcus Lee]
I can't even look at you
Without feeling tight up in my chest
Was your little pack mule
All of your secrets, burdens? Kept
Makes me kind of sad too
And as I'm calm, I think, reflect
I thought reciprocity was meant
But you had gone and hit reject
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
And I've had enough, yeah
I've had enough
I've had enough
[Verse: The Thought]
Hi, my name is Jack and I just want to die
So throw me in the lightning chair and let The Thinker fry
I got my heart attacks, I got my ever-sigh
Brother, would you hold my hand and let the thinker cry?
Don't know what I lack, don't know why I stride
Like the slums beneath the robber-baron not let testify
I've put my soul for sacrifice, fell right through the sky!
Bombs befell my motley band, we cursed the Devil, shy
Level back, double down, sent to track for the crown
Bevel flat, dead to sound, matter fact, this the town
Spent a stack on a pound, made it back, smoked an ounce
DayLee Jack on the bounce, bring that crack underground
Thought stay in his element wherever he flow
Thought stay on the wind wherever it goes
Feeling that I've had enough and letting you know
I'm really just a channel bus from sinking below
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
It feels like I been walking 'round on
Stilts around eggshells
As my head swells
'Cause my head's hell
I'm so exhausted
I been running with my thoughts and
I been lost in my own heart while tryna charter
Where my head sails
God damn I fell
(Ohhhhhh)
There we go
I am on a merry go, with marigolds
Grounded more than I've ever been
It's kind of strange, It's kind of sudden
The release it feels like nothing
Now I really feel a nothingness
Kind of like I'm floating on a cloud
A nice adjustment, yes
No more worries 'bout my balance
As I float away
All my thoughts they go away
They go in waves, where they burn ablaze
Feels I've made this turn for days
Or weeks maybe
Can't remember how to speak lately
Yo where's my lady, and uh
Where am I? It's getting bright
And what's that sound? (Marcus... are you alright?)
What's the date? And what's the time?
Where's that's dream?
Am I... Am I alive?
My vision clears to concerned faces that's standing by
Fuck
[Outro: Marcus Lee]
I'm alive
I'm alive

[Chorus: The Thought]
I'm ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag
I don't know how to get off my ass
I'm just a dumbass that don't go to class
These my daily thoughts, daily thoughts
I'm ugly as fuck 'cause I don't get no ass
I'm down on my luck 'cause I don't get no cash
I'm a piece of trash, burn me down to ash
These my daily thoughts, my daily thoughts, yeah
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Procrastination, mind is vacant, I just need a Vacay
Sometimes I want to load all of these raps into an AK
And flood the airwaves, create some stairways for my brethren
Marcus turns to Martin, when I tell my brothers get the stepping
Marcus just an artist using words as weapons but I'm not a fighter
Been a hider, Hide 'n Seek champ since '07
Get to it tomorrow, may I borrow some ambition?
Mine left a long time ago, I've not forgiven, nor forgotten
I been spoiled rotten with the gift of gab, but lately
In these days I been feeling like some gifted trash, I've sifted past
The trips that have had me so convinced that I was simply bad
Writing in past tense, I'll find a different pad, these words
They'll find a different home, so why is it they feel that they are still alone?
Eventually they'll see that they don't build alone, I guess I'll keep this going
'Til that feeling's gone, I guess I'll keep this going 'til that feeling's gone
It helps to share these daily thoughts for healing, bro, fuck!
[Chorus: The Thought]
I'm ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag
I don't know how to get off my ass
I'm just a dumbass that don't go to class
These my daily thoughts, daily thoughts
I'm ugly as fuck 'cause I don't get no ass
I'm down on my luck 'cause I don't get no cash
I'm a piece of trash, burn me down to ash
These my daily thoughts, my daily thoughts, yeah
[Verse: The Thought]
I'm a stupid piece of shit, I don't know what I'mma do about it
Yeah, I'll take a hit, 'cause my thoughts been chopped and screwed, I doubt it
Back to bitching, back been itching, caught and dropped a few, I'm loudest
Satisfiction, ass been ditching class and coughing too, I'm out it
Jack been sick of competition, lack thereof if speaking truth
Out of fucks to give for fakes and tears for my mistakes in booths
I'm 'bout as calm as volcanoes, got my Psalms from the Bezos
I count it up like J. Cole, joking, focused on the revenue
Got them moldy potatoes, got some issues with women
Got them Oldies and Kratos spilled some bleach on my linens
I been haunted by the record but I'm getting by!
I'm crowded, taunted by the lesions, man, I need to cry!
I'm broken worse than glass, I'm a shadow of my past
Even though the gift of gab been keeping me from acting brash
I'm a hundred types of sorry, I'm a beggar at the step
If these my daily thoughts, then I ain't got none left, yeah
