Fix

What's your fix
for some chicks
its...
dictating your life
whatever it is
you have to pick

what you do
stimulation
living in a nation
with more playstations
than real conversations

wasting
our time in this situation
making it, faking it
pleasure and pain
too much information
its hard not to go insane
surrounded by inane
no i can't explain
no reason
no blame
so ya think
lets remember my name
make your mark
do it for the fame
spread ideas

come get into my lane
racing on a track
playing likes its a game
trying to avoid the lame

looking for what i want
now
want want want
womp womp womp
every level
the ladders forever
satisfied never

doing what you gotta do
to make it to the finish line
ends justify the means
so we nickel and dime
tit for tat
is where it's at
but not the way its gotta be
tryin to see

though the blurry path
just a journey
no destination
still figuring out what that means
cause it means
that the means justify the ends
i guess it depends
on the way that you're looking
through your eyes
is all you see
your mind
is all you know
but things become unclear
everyone on a straight line
but you just wanna veer
thinking you know better
always looking for change
while other people
are actually looking for change

can't be satisfied
cause i know this can be better
better day
better way

act right
and the future will be bright
it will be fixed right

Manufactured

Manufactured
Fake
Fake it till you make it
how many people are
fake it till you make it

Is their genuine
in this life of mine
seeing where you fit
place
you draw the line

our identity
is who we be
how we stand in the world
who do i see

where's our place
where's our place in time?
looking and observing
but I'm just not seeing
the spot where we being

the mark we leave on this earth
so what

Zoom out and you'll see
a world that is no longer flat
but rounded perfectly
into a sphere of land and sea
and we live in a real world
but it's all just make believe
how these beings and objects
bounce and affect me

Influence
everything is a stimuli
arousal, aggression
can it all be seen?
can we observe the forces?
no no way
no possibility
but we try
and we try
to draw lines in a soup
a simpler world
you just never knew

if you zoom out too far
you can see how far we've come
you can see our mark
and all that we've done

we're just one cell
amoebas in an array
that changed
and became today

But our level
our scope
is at whatever level we want it to be
how can we relate
inter-personality
interacting and changing
wasting but always conserving
mass and energy

open, shut

closed
or are we open
hoping that something greater
is coming
so we run and we run
and we work and we work
doing small things in this overwhelming world
demanding
sacrifice is the only way
little and little,
etc.
what can these all mean
but we live in our mind
and my world is the world
because I just can't see
and I'm stuck to only knowing what I believe
Beliefs of what i've been told
brainwashed but just not knowing
beliefs of a society
leading us the wrong way
but we can't see
because we live in our experience
what else can there be
gotta see it to believe
so sad that it's true
you can tell
and you can listen
but you'll never really know
how it felt
in that moment,
in this place,
in that time
this time of mine
this time in my mind
conditions are mostly controlled
we only know what we see and we're told

norms of a crazy society
in a world with many scars
scars of evolution
so rapid we can't see
or so long you just don't know

cause we live in a moment
we live in our mind
merely, in a world
of infinite

limits
limited
stuck

living in our moment
moving towards the unknown
only thing coming is the future
my future in this world
my future in my mind

seeing where i fit
perceiving
my being and
how it all connects
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know

but we search
and we search
because we don't know
how we're going to get to a place
that you don't even know

so you have to believe
imagine, images
glimpses into our future
believe the future will be bright
believe my future will be bright

lights on the spot
spotlight is your life
living in this spot

this situation
where we defined what's real
just one man among many
defining what's real
in this artificial world

manufactured
material, plastic

this life is fantastic

Like the Universe

We are all just like the universe
changing through space and time
reacting to the environment
developing our minds

trying to be right
no crimes
what if we were all innocent
living in a guilty world
"forget about feeling guilty, we are innocent instead"  // DMB

twisted and turned
in our pursuit of happiness
looking for laughter, no sadness
just gladness

but pleasure with no pian
is like responsibility with no blame

many lame claim that we're all the same
but nobody is the same
cause we're all insane
nobody is sane
nobody sane
not sane all the time
all the time

all the time
I try to write and rhyme
Speak my mind in every line
I don't know where the fine line was drawn
between your world and mine
or even if your life is fine
or if that line is fine
I'm pretty sure my life is fine,
all I want
or is it all i need?
All i want is a girl that looks fine by my side
there for me through the tough times
right by my side
someone who can't lie
honestly, honesty is all I need need

when you stab me, I'll bleed
but I feed off my blood
my love that pours out,
all my expressions,

this is all me
no doubt
don't shout, get up and scream
do you know what I mean
If you haven't seen what I've seen
see the world as I see
Been where I've been
akin to the shit that runs though my head
running through my head
all the things you said
all the things i said
all the things she said (T.A.T.U.)
running through my head
all the things you said
you said
mmm. what you say? (Imogen Heap)
Oh what did you say?

There's no real Clock

       Tick Tock

Beat
The hands on a clock
on the wall
in the building
on the block
with the shop
where you can buy
a new clock
new clock
tick tock
tick tock

the clock beats constant
but always feels too fast
just like Lennon
I want a love that has no past
but oh no please no
no yo ko oh no
oh no please no woman like that

you treat me so mean
you're the meanest old woman
that I ever did see
I hope that you say soo
You gotta pack your things and go

That's right
I'm hitting the road,
gonna run the track
and I'm not coming back
No more, No more
No more what I need
but I need what I want
and I want what I need

buy anything at a store
a watch that goes tick tock
like that clock
on the wall
in the building
on the block

when you come close
knock, knock on the door
you know the rules
act like
you've been here before
act like
your not a whore
act like
your pure in the core
cause if I am
you are
but who knows?

Maybe I ain't
so I grab a brush
and get the paint
you be my canvas
those curves
that tight ass
don't worry, bar
you'll make it to class

we all just trying to pass
pass by the time
all these rhymes in my mind
pour out like a spout
like the spit out my mouth
as i chomp on this food
think about what i should

consume what i want
eat what i need
we're just like the animals
we gather, we feed
we're just another animal
lions and tigers and bears, oh my
we feast like the lions
with our eyes of the tiger
we behave like bears
but we bitch like the badger

we think we have swagger
we murder, we stabbers
we quick with our daggers
et tu brute
our words, our lines
we quick with with our judgments
our nods, all the time

All the time
our heads turn
oohs and ahhs astound
we listen to the sound
we see what we see
we see what we want to see
we be what we want to be
but we can't see all that we're turning out to be
because I can try to be me,
but I just do as I see
Monkey see, Monkey Do,

we go with the masses
we listen to dudes with thick glasses
we look at girls with nice asses
we go oohh for nice passes

I'm really so simple
so simply complex
it's a mess
how much beauty we possess
it's hard to imagine
an eternal light
that shines so bright
through the night
through the pain
through the fight

I just might, I really should
Could if i would
I really gotta stop with the
shoulda
could
woulda
cause when i die
i wanna say
if I shoulda and coulda then i woulda
cause pat riley did
I can't wait to have a kid
cause i will do all I can do
but I'm happy right here
right here in the now

In this moment, right now
with my eyes on the prize
unveiling the disguise of lies
that make up most of our minds

but i will break free
that's gonna be me
defying gravity
defining define
just saying what comes to mind

honestly, honesty is more valuable than two points
like sublime i smoke two joints
i try not to disappoint
but y'all seems to miss the point
no bullzeye
if your minds eye is covered by lies
fried
french fries fill the belly
media makes our brains jelly
we sit and we clean
and hope not to get smelly

cultural lens are hard to see
but my contacts got blurry
clean em off
no use to hurry
what's the use in worrying?

There's no real clock
That clock beats constant
but who needs a metronome
if your living acapella
rapping off the beat
getting people off their seat
jumping off the boat cause we're not going nowhere
so swim far out
see how far you can go

no structure, no form

but we need there to be
so we can make sense of what we see
somehow make sense of it all
be all that you can be
be your army of one
get your shit done
have fun
live slow and run

Repetition

Repetition
I repeat myself
Repetition
Everyday
Every single damn day
Same old shit, man
just a different day

Day after day
week after week
time after time
turn around and back
up and down
right and wrong
left and right

day after day
I repeat the words I say
lay after lay
it's hard to remember what i say
when im having fun just playin

in control of my life
working and improving
hearing and listening
dancing and grooving

sitting here proving
myself to the world
trying to hit the right note
play the right chord

living this life holding a double edged sword
me, myself, my world and yours
filled with hate and toys
cute girls and boys
bad boys
with all their ploys
to destroy
to change
to build

rewrite the story
if the words get blurry
there's no need to hurry
no need to worry


when do the words get boring
no longer storing

AC Girl

Are we one of a kind
just looking for our pair

(I'm sure)
I can get you flushed
if you dare

if you dare
to share your world
with me

(you know)
it's rare to find somebody
who actually cares

And doesn't just stare
Stare straight through me

as if I've just got ace high
when I'm a straight flush

although I may fly high
I could be your guy
and
maybe one day
we could make a full house

but for today you could be my pair
tomorrow we could try three of a kind
we could pick up the set
but with your friends not mine

And don't bluff
cause I already know your tell
I can read the signs

I've met you before
I know your kind

It's not what you say
it's how you say the line

so just sit back relax
and tell me whats on your mind

while I...
Define Define

How

Can I
Be who I used to be
If I don't want to do
the things I used to do

I used to feel that If I could stay in this moment
I would leave this world 
if I could be in that moment

I would give this all up
We can run Off
And Just enjoy Life

I have to be who I was
I had to be who I was
It was what made me happy

But I can’t leave this world,
because that’s not realistic
I wish I wasn’t so idealistic

So life is going to be stressful
if I want it to be
Or I can sit back and
just let things be
whatever will be will be
the future's not ours to see

Define Define

You can try to define me
But the only who knows me is me
So before you define me
Define Define

Do you still think you know what’s going on in my mind
I don’t think this world is fine
I don’t pretend like this is something it’s not
A beautiful world
No specs, no dots

Because I tell it how it is
You just tell it how it might be
Two points for honesty
I feel like I'm shooting at the foul line
but time doesn't stop ticking
[Clock beats constant, but always feels too fast]

and
It’s a fine line between your world and mine
But that fine line might not be so fine
Because all this meaning you assign
Is the perfect design for our decline

I can't change you

Now I used to whine
But the die has been cast
I was born into the malign
Or are we all benign?
One things for sure
We are all one of a kind

But we are all the same
We intertwine logic and emotion
We find our own balance

And
How you feel
That isn’t always how it is
what you see is real
So
you think

Hundred years ago
There was no automobile
Millenia before that
There wasn’t even a wheel

Some things we can’t comprehend
We have to play stupid
We think love is unique
With our very own cupid

You can try to define me
But the only who knows me is me
So before you define me
Define Define
Can you do it
Define Define
Make the most of it
Define Define
Can you give meaning to anything
Define Define
Can you give reason to anything?
Define Define
Could I?
Should I?
Would you?
Why?

Do you know?

Will the idea of you disappear
Is that time near
A feeling
That I thought I would fear

The image is no longer clear

This life's a blur
I don't know if others concur
But it's hard to be sure
I know that
I will always endure
But as I mature
Meaning Becomes Obscure

In this skin
I am secure
but in this
life tour
its hard
to remain pure

(You can)
Try to shut yourself out
But someone
will knock on your door

Do you know what you stand for?
(And do you know)
What lies inside your core?

Do we do it for the Glor....
E-E-E...
Eventually my life will be gone
Hopefully this will all make sense
When I look into the eyes of my son

But for now
I'm just going to have fun

Try not
To get to blinded by the mon..
E-E-
Cause E...
Eventually this will all be gone

I Live in my Mind, I read and I rhyme

I live in my mind
I read and I rhyme
for a short time
I
get out-of-my mind

And into my life
Forget all this strife
I’m living right now
I don’t need a wife

Expectation
Temptation
Sensation
Realization

I’ve seen what I want
And I’d want what I see
But can’t get what I see
We want what we want

The sensation may not be
all I thought it would be

Realization
I live in this nation
A material creation

Fueled by Discrimination
Loss of Appreciation
Focus on compensation
Constant acceleration
Minimal Relaxation
Lack of cooperation

We all have this imagination
And we see our interpretation (of)
Quest for upward mobilization
What causes determination
and

Up and Up we go
Where we stop
Nobody knows

Friends or Foes, Highs and Lows

Shoulda
Coulda
Woulda

Are in our vocabulary
Contrary
All they do is make us wary

Make this world look scary
And become something it’s not

In the grand scheme of things
We’re just a dot
But we still care a lot
We gotta give this our best shot

Old values rot
(maybe more people should try pot)
Do some of our beliefs
Really mean squat?

We all vary
What I see is true to me
And what you see is true to you

We lost touch
With our body, our soul our mind
We all make ourselves believe
That this world is fine

We constantly seek happiness
pleasure,
Leisure,
All at the highest measure

Of course
We deserved it
We worked hard for our shit
I can relax
Maybe
Sit for a bit

Many don’t realize
That the hand that you were dealt
Could be the reasons for the feelings you felt

Probabilities in my favor
Did I get a poverty waiver

Chocolate ice cream with a vanilla wafer
Maybe that’s your favorite flavor
But no
not the best
Our preferences don’t have to pass a test

We can live our life
Obsessed
Impressed
Depressed
Possessed
Life can be a constant contest.

I live in the world of the West
Everything has to make sense
Everything must pass this test

Correlation
 Causation
Causing Nausea

Can (we) confess up
That this quest up
Tends to get messed up
After we dressed up

The world that we see
To become whatever
We want it to be

Your only as free
As your mind makes it out to be
