Hold up, hold up
I bet you thinking that we dead
Hold up, hold up
I have this bullet in my head
Hold up, hold up
Mama what's them words you said?
Hold up, hold up
Why you make us think you're dead?
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Think we dead
Hold up, hold up
We 'bout to blow some trees
Hold up, pass the Austin and the Freddie Mercury
Don't need nobody, we bouncin' on that Astral Plane
Hold up, hold up
I think I just forgot my name
(That's cause you're dead)
Nickel plated nine
Bang bang blow your mind
Beep beep flatline
Gotta get your's, I been had mine
Hold my hand, laying in the bed
Family crying, they think he dead
No jokes no hoax
Felt his palm, he had no pulse
Could've been the drank, it might've been the smoke
In light of all that he was considered dope
And now I'm left to keep you strong
And I kept you Flying Lotus and I step too
You can't run, just gonna get you
I was live when I met you
Now this seems to upset you
This what the shit gon' get you: Death
I bet you thinking that we dead
Hold up, hold up
I have this bullet in my head
Hold up, hold up
Mama what's them words you said?
Hold up, hold up
Why you make us think you're dead?
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Oh they, oh they
Think we dead
Hold up, hold up
We 'bout to blow some trees
Hold up, pass the Austin and the Freddie Mercury
Don't need nobody, we bouncin' on that Astral Plane
Hold up, hold up
I think I just forgot my name
(That's cause you're dead)
Nickel plated nine
Bang bang blow your mind
Beep beep flatline
Gotta get your's, I been had mine
Hold my hand, laying in the bed
Family crying, they think he dead
No jokes no hoax
Felt his palm, he had no pulse
Could've been the drank, it might've been the smoke
In light of all that he was considered dope
And now I'm left to keep you strong
And I kept you Flying Lotus and I step too
You can't run, just gonna get you

Never Catch Me
I can see the darkness in me and its quite amazing
Life and death is no mystery and I wanna taste it
Step inside of my mind and you'll find
Curiosity, animosity, high philosophy like the prophesied meditation
Reminisce on my wonder years and I'm one of yah
Sentiments of my worse ain't been so sincere
The sentiment of my nerves that I just persevere
The big thought of fallin' off disappeared to my fate
They say that Heaven's real
Analyze my demise, I say I'm super anxious
Recognize I deprive this fear and then embrace it
Vandalizing these walls only if they could talk
Conversations don't contemplate to my dark thoughts
Lookin' down on my soul now
Tell me I'm in control now
Tell me I can live long and I can live wrong and I can live right
And I can sing songs and I can unite with you that I love, you that I like
Look at my life and tell me I fight
This that final destination, this that find some information
This that find some inspiration, this that crack, the instillation
This that [?] sharpening and fist pump and that bomb detonation
Please don't bomb my nation, embalming fluid waiting
I got mind control when I'm here, you gon' hate me when I'm gone
Ain't no blood pumpin' no fear, I got hope inside of my bones
This that life beyond your own life, this say this go for mankind
This that outer-body experience, no coincidence you been died
You are dead
Say you will never ever catch me, no, no, no
Say you will never ever catch me, no, no, no
Say you will never ever catch me, no, no, no
Say you will never ever catch me, no, no, no, say you will never ever catch me, say you will never ever catch me
Life and death is no mystery and I wanna taste it
Step inside of my mind and you'll find
Curiosity, animosity, high philosophy like the prophesied meditation
Reminisce on my wonder years and I'm one of yah
Sentiments of my worse ain't been so sincere
The sentiment of my nerves that I just persevere
The big thought of fallin' off disappeared to my fate
They say that Heaven's real
Analyze my demise, I say I'm super anxious
Recognize I deprive this fear and then embrace it
Vandalizing these walls only if they could talk
Conversations don't contemplate to my dark thoughts
Lookin' down on my soul now
Tell me I'm in control now
Tell me I can live long and I can live wrong and I can live right
And I can sing songs and I can unite with you that I love, you that I like
Look at my life and tell me I fight
This that final destination, this that find some information

Coronus The Terminator
[?]
Cause I'd like to save you
Make me talk [?]
Cause I'd like to save you
The days of men are coming to an end
So come with me, if you want to live
You come from a time where they look the same
And think the same too
There's nowhere left to go, so I'd like to save you
They all want to be saved
My hands been bloody since the day I came
It's such a shame, you've seen my violent side
Don't make me go away
Cause I'd like to save you
Cause I'd like to save you
Make me talk [?]
Cause I'd like to save you
The days of men are coming to an end
So come with me, if you want to live
You come from a time where they look the same
And think the same too
There's nowhere left to go, so I'd like to save you
They all want to be saved
My hands been bloody since the day I came
It's such a shame, you've seen my violent side
Don't make me go away
Cause I'd like to save you

Descent Into Madness
Can't you see the walls are closing in
Closer to the end
Welcome to the descent
The descent
The descent
Into madness
The descent
There is no escaping out that hole
Darkness in your soul
Welcome to the descent
The descent
The descent
Into madness
The descent
The descent
Closer to the end
Welcome to the descent
The descent
The descent
Into madness
The descent
There is no escaping out that hole
Darkness in your soul
Welcome to the descent
The descent
The descent
Into madness
The descent
The descent

The Boys Who Died In Their Sleep
Someone has to pay for this
Someone's gotta pay the bills
I can't even look in the mirror
Oh baby would you get my pills?
I need a xanny and a vicodin
A percocet and valium
Anything to take the edge away
I travel through the light in the ceiling and everything goes away
I look inside my mind and dream
About the worlds inside my eyes
I look inside my mind and dream
About the worlds inside my eyelids
I know of a place inside my mind where I can fly!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])
I know of a place inside myself where I can be!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])
I know of a place inside my mind where I am free!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])
I know of a place inside my mind where I can fly!
I know of a place inside my mind where I can fly!
Someone's gotta pay the bills
I can't even look in the mirror
Oh baby would you get my pills?
I need a xanny and a vicodin
A percocet and valium
Anything to take the edge away
I travel through the light in the ceiling and everything goes away
I look inside my mind and dream
About the worlds inside my eyes
I look inside my mind and dream
About the worlds inside my eyelids
I know of a place inside my mind where I can fly!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])
I know of a place inside myself where I can be!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])
I know of a place inside my mind where I am free!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])
I know of a place inside my mind where I can fly!
I know of a place inside my mind where I can fly!
