Some Thoughts Video (MV)

How do ya have good dreams when ya life's a nightmare
And everything you're breathing for feels like it's light years
Out of reach?
Hiking boots around my feet
Preparing for the mountain peak
Tell myself to take it one step at a time
There ain't no other way to do it
Escalate make mistakes-what y'all ain't human?
This is just the body I was given
So I'm giving this my everything
My grandfather's grandfather clock
Nonstop tickin' tock
Familial reminder in the kitchen
Got me itchin' like an addict when the fix is missin'
Everything we got
Could be picked up in an instant
Jerry died a few years back
I blinked and missed it
I know that he's lookin' down
Now y'all know why I put all
My heart and soul to singing this shit
I'm better than a cargo boat Titanic combined
Ain't no iceberg on this globe that could be sinkin' this ship

This for Jerome
And anybody else who won't get to see me grow
My certificate of birth says I'm twenty-one
Damn I'm feelin' old
Guess they were right when they said "Time never slows"
Every day is a gift
And I wake up put a shirt on after countin' my ribs
I say twenty-four prayers as I'm takin' a whiff of the brisk air
Thankful for my nostrils let the summer winds get in there
I'm sorry to my ex who didn't get the best of me
I was dedicated on a hunt to find the recipe
For what makes me me-the something that's my specialty
So I dreamed scenes I'm filled with better energy
I can see the peak the way that I be movin' steadily
Think back to 2018: Usin' fruits in melodies
Seeds were born nurtured daily
Despite what the weather be
Now 2024 I made it here because I'm meant to be

I meant to keep this short
But I don't think I'm done yet (I don't think so)
I'm the type of guy to always ask "What come next?"
After graduation look for work in different subjects
Different cities anywhere on Earth really
Spin a compass
I liked my time in London
I miss Milwaukee and Wisconsin
But if New York City call me then I'm comin'
One World Trade how I'mma get the ring? A tall assumption
Got my options open so with none of them it's all or nothin'

Thanks to all the emcees y'all my major fuel:
Boldy James and K Lamar Westside Gunn and Navy Blue
Jay-Z Eminem JID Benny Mach-Hommy lemme air the room
Denzel Curry Freddie Gibbs and Conway plus the Larry June
Mac Miller Rocky Wayne
50 Cent and Red and Meth have paved the route
Can't leave Incarnate Vinny Staples Lean and Tyler too
BIG and Big L PEGGY Dilla Alc Atreyo dude-
If none of y'all ain't did this first I never woulda made a tune
Now how I can spit a verse like Andre 3K play the flute
They ask me if I rap or if I sing I say "I'm able to"
But do this in my free time 'cause I made the move to stay in school
Got a plan to graduate and take my talents global when it's May or June
Thank God I found a place where I can play with my creative juice
The older people in my life had always told me not to waste my youth
Used to think I did but now I wouldn't say it's true
(Now I wouldn't say it's true)

These are just
Some thoughts I got stacked in my brain
But maybe it ain't real relatable
Glad for every step I've taken even when my ankle rolled
Now there ain't no more nightmares
No more nights of layin' cold
