Verse 1:
Young Simba
Check the symptoms
Super ill but yellow bellied
Zomer Simpson
I was timid as a kid
gettin the recognition
as an infant
And then some
Since I was 2
Sippin juice
I been into Dr. Seuss
Throwin deuces to the goofs
Tell the truth
Now the booth
Is my refuge
Driven to be
the one they talkin bout
Where's my rev-enues? (Rev/News)
Good kid
Straight A's
Moved a lot when I was little
Never in the same place
I listened to Eminem
when i was in the third grade
Again and again with my friends
Now we mimicking
All what the words say
Then I heard Jay
And in turn Ye
Then 50 Cent told me to go:
It's my birthday
A gifted headed kid
Why they givin medicine
To all of the competitors
They said that I was better than?
Leveled the playing field-
I stopped playing games
They said that the change is real,
I thought I stayed the same
Tryin to make a name
Jeff City to Wildwood
St. Louie's claim
I was smilin
through my childhood
Verse 2:
Young soul
So mature though
Blunt rolled
While I'm bumpin a concerto
Jerky on the dance floor
No Oberto
Back to the pad
Merlot with some Virgos
Aspirations of a high schooler
Women would give me a chance
But it was like the older guys' cooler
Then I turned 16
Got myself a six speed
Flipped it quickly,
Coulda died, would they miss me?
Understandably began to make a plan
A second chance to be the man I knew I can
Two sport athlete and a valedictorian
More than 40 songs recorded
Swore I'd never be bored again
Learned what's important
A life portrait enormous
I wanna see the world
My perspective in orbit
Verse 3:
University
Pressuring me for a third degree
Don't think it brought out
the worst in me
diversity ain't adversity
Urban teens tryna be absurd
as Ron Burgundy
Too many emerging geniuses
turned to emergencies (emerging C's)
Full of uncertainty
But graduated anyway
Made it out debt free
But didn't have a penny saved
Young Hemingway
Hennessy and lemonade
Tryin not to blow it
like a windy day
Verse 4:
Now that I've got
the nation's greatest
rated degree in journalism
Nobody will hire me-
I'm worried
it wasn't worth admission
I'm sure it isn't
worse than prison
But-
Servin kids
a curt decision:
Find work or
We ain't workin wit em
Studied abroad in Auckland
Often saw some awesome sights
Cautious thoughts
no longer the boss
I'm off to awesome heights
Now pay it forward
Give it back
Workin with the youth
Tell the truth
In these gifted raps

Verse 1:
She called me a player
But she played herself
I just keep it moving
Like conveyor belts
Coulda shoulda woulda
Said the way I felt
Marchin with a Spring in my step
Cuz I May as well
It's a damn thrill
When it's all piling on like a landfill
Under the weight of an anvil
I can't be great at a standstill
Fat Freddy's Drop:
(What are we gonna do
while we're waiting here?
Caught in a traffic jam,
going nowhere)
Roll my window down
Lookin up at the ducks
Wonder where
they'll hit the ground?
Feelin caged
So my pen is out
I'm on a mental adventure
My life is on a different route
Chorus (x2)
FFD:
I hear it on my window pane,
Calling out my name
Tellin me to stay
Gotta know what you're running from
Before you know what you're running to
What'd you leave behind?
ZoMeR: I'm on the move!
FFD:
I'll be gone when the morning comes
Sun gonna paint a view
Colors in your life
ZoMeR: I'm on the move
Verse 3: Jess Lauren
I know you're not used to this
But when I leave give me a goodbye kiss
'Cause it's just what I gotta do
Keep on going and it's without you
Baby, baby, I'm on the move
It's just what I gotta do
I'm on the move
I'm on the move
I gotta let go of you...
Verse 4: ZoMeR
She was hot but she cool
Outside the school
Probly thought I looked a fool
She was wet as a drop
From a hop up in the pool
But y'all don't know
that I don't really know the rules
Got as close as the folks
in motion pictures and shows
But had to know that we'd chosen
devotion quicker than most
Crossin oceans
Still a coast apart
Already broke
So I ain't copin
with a broken heart
I thought we started out
hot and heavy
And it got me ready
To go steady
Instead I'm bein so petty
Go with the flow
I'm a broke levy
I won't sweat the
only thing bringin me down,
like a low Chevy
Hope that she
don't think that I deserted her
I never had this kinda purpose
"Is it worth the hurt?"
I blurted "sure"
Not movin on
Just on the move
It was winter when you went away (wins)
What I got to lose?
Bridge: FFD
In the wake of your goodbye, I linger
Lay down your head
Reaching with my heart and soul
You've got no place
As the sun shines through the cold
And the truth comes when we're fold
Don't let yourself, don't forget yourself!
Chorus x2

Hook:
My team on it-
You should pat me on the back
I'd get up off the grid
if it got me on the map
Y'all ready for Zome
when I get in my zone?
Look to the legends
"No direction home"
Verse 1:
So I'm off, with my nose to the sky
Took a leap of faith, and I hope that I'll fly
But I don't really know where I'm at right now
Am I dope? Those I show hear my track like "Wow"
Lookin for my car it's on the other side of town
Thought I parked it by the market
But I'm farther than it now
On Saturday-
I'm in the city to explore a bit and
Phone battery-
Is dead, I'm disoriented
Met an old man at the corner
and I asked him
where I'm at?
And he laughed
Use a map
Not an app
He unwrapped the folds
His thumb tracked the roads
Use that legend it's the compass rose
Back to those
Shouldn't need a phone or a drone to find my way home
The way I'm raised ain't displayed on my gravestone
[Ohh]
He sent me in the right direction
Or was it left?
I can never trust my discretion
(Lost)
But i found my ride eventually
Fuckin with me mentally
It took about a century
(Lost)
Now I'm cruising on my drive back
Back to the pad don't need a map for me to find that
(Lost) Right?
But now it's lookin unfamiliar
Feel a lil silly I ain't wit it
But who's wittier?
ZOME
The road is long
Writing while I'm riding
Swerving when I wrote this song
Bridge:
Lead and never follow
Do the right thang,
Spike Lee done said the motto
Not all those who wander
are lost
(Are lost)
Get lost
Get lost
Hook x2
Verse 2:
Had a lot of heroes growing up
Sad to see em trippin over bucks
Some went down the wrong path
Deep as a long pass
Some weren't even real-
what the fuck?
Too many cyber jerks
Occupy this Earth
Diggin in my closet for that 98 McGwire shirt
What's the chance that my mans gets banned ?
For shenanigans, damn
Think of Lance out in France
That subtle truth
Of troubled youth
Cheating chasin W's
They love to boo
Actresses get model boobs
Rappers usin auto tune
But athletes they get on da juice
Suddenly they all buffoons?
Big deal
The hand of God
and Santa Claus
are fake?
Get real
Thats disappearing idols
Everybody skeptic of a title and a bible
[Used to it!]
You could say we killin it
Greediness is even more gullible than innocence
Finna spend a minute on the men who never give a shit
Do the minimum, say they grown, but they kid-ding
biiish
Need a zero to a hero figure
Real quick
An Uncle Phil to my Will Smith
Too many jokers in the deck for me to deal with
That need to get lost- bad kids on a field trip
A real hero don't need to wear a cape or a mask
To be the one to carry weight on their back
You can stay fly without blazing through the sky
And they can look up to ya without raising an eye
Maybe then I
Could make and provide
Some direction for these kids
At least say that I'll try
Greats make mistakes
Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant
"Welcome to the jungle"
Who the king?
Who's lyin? (Lion)

Outro:
Find my way back
Find my way back
I can never
Find my way back

Verse 1: SpoonMan
Hopped on a plane
For a getaway
'Cause I need to stay away
From the States
My girl said she needed a break
From me, 'cause of all the deceit
Got to my Air BnB
In the 3rd arrondissement
Life was way better when
Drugs were just a condiment
And not a necessity
These street signs are testing me
Silence is stressin me
Question my destiny
Sitting by the sign,
See if I can find one,
See if I can find one
like I found a baguette
No AC in this cafe and
It's causing me to sweat
But it's fine, I got wine,
I got Euros to spend
I know plenty of French
All that's missing is friends
I'm standing by the Eiffel taking a selfie
Tryna smile
Standing by the Eiffel takin a selfie
Tryna smile
Standing by the Eiffel takin a selfie
Tryna smile....
Been awhile
Verse 2:
Zoooome
Comin live from the drivers seat
At an idle speed
Not but miles of trees
Far as the eye can see
I get lonely
But I do my own thing
Goin home always throw me off
Like a blown wing
Smoke rings
Show how many old homies
Are in my time zone
But they all up on my phone screen
And my lady's overseas
Colder sheets solo
But I get to know the sober me
From a
Cold bottle
to a role model
Aristotle goin full throttle
on the bowl dottle
So I keep myself company
When I can form my own opinions
I can see how others think
And then I call it self discovery
Free time is me time
That's creative luxury
But suddenly I wonder why
I'm actin so uncomfortably
Missin those who helped
To form the man that I grew up to be

Verse 1:
It ain't no fun
if the homies can't get none
But I'm done with the ones
palms out when the chips come
Im just feelin spiritual and lyrical
Praying for a miracle
and pourin out my cereal
Hunched over
munchin Cap'n Crunch
This girl on the milk carton
Missin for a month
Her face is kinda cute
Take a break
from the presidential race
on the news
And a cruise down imagination lane
I'm the wordiest
Where'd she come from,
where's she goin?
Now I'm curious
What was it she missing
That would make her run away?
And put her right in front of me?
But I digress
Everybody see her
like she in that gold and white dress
I guess
That I've only seen her picture
But it feels like we met
Our love need a mixture
That's a stranger
Why do I keep thinkin
That what I do
could change her...
Verse 2:
I miss so many people that it hurts
When they gone all I do
is fall in love with their words
I'm immersed in it
Every single verse written
Ain't exactly me but my thoughts
are the first image
That's the worst, isn't it?
They say communication save relations, I can tell
But how does that apply to my relation with myself?
That's why I got these bars, got no patience in my cell
Like can I hear me now? This service wasted how I felt
Felt, felt inside
Cause now I only worry that I spelt it right
Fall in love with the way
that each other use the Internet
Everybody caught up in it
Google need a bigger Net
Peckin at the kiss of death
Look at all the chicken heads
Turning bird-brained 'cause they Twitter-bred (bread)
They say you are what you eat
But you are what you read
Novels turning obsolete
For these novelties
So we far from deep
But distance isn't a problem
Miss me with the pessimism, dissing and groveling
I'm dipping the digits but well within for all em
What we missing is the empathy to listen to problems
Bridge:
I got enough people I can disappoint
If you disagree, I think you missed the point
Verse 3:
They say that patience is a virtue
But mama still yelled
If I was ever late for curfew
And when I'm late for work too
Everybody sniffin at me
Like I'm missin perfume
Shit happens if you missed the point
I'm never pissed when I twist a joint
I thought I couldn't miss, miss
(Let it rain!)
I thought I couldn't miss, miss
(Rain drops!)
I thought I couldn't miss, miss
(Let it rain!)
I thought I couldn't miss

Verse 1:
"True friends! One question:"
I gotta send you a text?
There was no emojis
on the first day that we met
I'm on a jet to the other side
of life and I'm like,
Can I be doin this right
If nobody wanna fight?
Take pride that I'm nice
Even when I write a rap
Phone is out in front
But they talk behind the back
They only see in white and black
Feelin like a wolf with nobody in the pack
"I tend to think of myself, as a one man wolfpack"
But the real friends
know they hold me down
Even if my town
Holdin me back
Real friends always stay
calm and react
Pack of Pabst
At the pad
crackin tabs
Til we trash talkin, laughin, and relaxed
Get a little tipsy
Hit the zip
Trip, get a grip
Sippin whiskey
Whippin frisbees
Say you missed me when we kick it
We been busy
man it's history
"My man"
When we chillin together
It's whatever
Swear we we never had it better
Real friends are forever
Endeavoring to never sever ties
with my brethren
Its evident when we seven deep
at the residence
Talkin bout what's prevalent
Like who could be the president
And every time we split
We comin back like the Revenant
Cuz I'm reppin for WashMo
Reppin for the Lab and
Columbia and Forest Grove
Portland, Saint Louis, and Auckland
Real friends we talk when
Real shit happens
And the rest we don't get lost in
All across the map
Stay paying attention
What's the cost of that?
Get to fronting on my crew
You better watch ya back
Fillin villains full of dread
like a rasta hat
Make you pause the track
And then applaud for the gawd
Causing jaws to crack
With the mind of a sphinx
Sharp as claws of cats
Let me pass it to this long lost monster, Max:
Verse 2: BiggieLC
Yo I'm back on the track
The Max-Zach relapse
From before we had the bud,
Now the sacks are fat
Now I'm living on a mountain
With the glacial views
And I only get defensive
When comparing crews
You snooze you lose
Good things come in twos
And you see me and homie Zome
Through your Hazeus hues
I bet you can't find me a more diverse
Group of nerds
You could tell back in the day
When the grade was third
Been away for a minute
But I came to work
The leak insane from my brain
Leave a stain on your shirt
Real friends what I'm all about
All about
All about
Keep my circle small
If you square you'll be stickin out
Stickin out
Stickin out
I was lagging, had to make em wait
Make em wait, a wizard's never late
Get the facts straight to the point
Smoke a *ah!*
And relax,
Zach and Max making songs
Smoking blunts, drinking beers,
Man I really wish
I had my real friends here
Verse 3: ZoMeR
Rappin in the back of the bus
On the way to the basketball games
We laughed and called names
Snackin on a sack of mcdubs
After class we the last in hallways
Sarcastic all day
Over the years
Started movin far apart
Wish I had em here
Keep em in my heart of hearts
Real friends
We growin up

Intro: Dr. Livingston
Gotta get back
Gotta get back baby,
Get back to my home
Gotta get back
Gotta get back now
Too long I've been gone
And a guitar-
Chorus: ZoMeR
Fly me away, way
This very day, day
Find me the way. way
I gotta get back home
Verse 1: ZoMeR
Young Simba,
Raised on the Rock
Laid my name to the claim
Like John Hancock
So I thought
Why not show love for my homeland,
Knowin that I owe it to em,
Now that I'm a grown man?
If my story,
Was his-tory
I'd find glory
In Miss-ouri
If you told me I'd be rapping
Over Pops on a banjo
I'd give that man a hug
Damn I'll never let my fan go
Harmonica solo (ZoMeR)
Chorus x2
Verse 2:
I'm from a place
Where race
Means more than a chase
See the way that we afraid
Of feeling more than a phase
Always I'm the good guy
And sometimes I'm wrong
Don't even know if I could cry
'Cause I've been holding on so long
Almost every single day,
There's something new on the news:
Shootings in the Lou,
Mizzou losin recruits
I reminisce-
Hot summers at the ball field
Catch us/catches/Catchers in the right/Rye on the fly,
Holden Caulfield
It wasn't all skill
Tryna grow up to be the hero of my Smallville
Looking back puts a crick in my neck
But Missouri made me
So I give it respect
Close my eyes and I think about the stresses and I pray
That it's all good when I'm back home one day
"And a guitar"
Chorus x2
Back home where they love me
Back home where they love me
Home, where they love me

Verse 1: ZoMeR
If I ride slow
I'll get rained on mo'
But if I ride quick
then the puddles gon stick
to the tires
Fly higher,
than I ever could've hoped
Sprayin up my back,
now my whole body soaked
Oh no ridin thru FoGro wit my woes
I don't really wanna go with the flow
But I know that I'm gon be broke as a joke
Tokin the smoke
Need a moment to cope
I've been dope from the go
Hopin for mo' (MO)
Showin em the drive like a 454
But you know that I be rollin
on a bike these days
(These days)
It's rainin outside and I like these J's
(These J's)
Maybe stayin put
Could go all the way on foot
The Corolla rollin over
it don't sound the way it should
So I stood in the doorway
Lookin at the drops
Fallin for the last 4 days
Will it stop?
Hopped in the seat
Gettin me from A to B
Faster than my lazy feet
I keep sayin "C'est la vie"
Livin life
Til I
Get it right
Delight
In the nights
When I
Hit the pipe
And write
On the bike
While I
Riiide
Lungs full of fresh air
Wind in my hair
No cares if I ne'er
grow to be a millionaire
Givin blasé stares
Pushin laissez faire
Then I went West
Like I'm Kanye's heir
Hook
This part
Imma hit em with a Kickstart
Keep eggin me on,
I'm a get to where the chicks are
Bout as graphic as a Pixar movie dude
Yabba dabbin
while my girl she hit the booty doo
Smokin doobies with my dogs
Word to Scooby doo
and Snoopy too
That Lucy got me feelin groovy
Cruising on my Fuji
viewin beauty-whoo!
Got the duties of a Buddha
Spreading love like Neruda
While I'm usin kama sutra
And "me gusta" to the few
who stayin true to "hakuna"
"There is not here"
but it's always where I'm goin
This moment
The only one that I'm knowin
Devoted to this poetry
Roamin down the open streets
I chose to be...
a dope MC...
I just hope they notice me
Jump man jump man jump man
That get so redun-dant
But go so dumb man
Shake my head so hard
I'm like a Gungan
...
Like a Gungan
Ladies if your man don't understand
you should dump him
Referencing the classics
Never missin classes
Stay question askin
Til I'm in a casket
Thats when
They'll say that I'm fatal on the verse
I stay killin it from the cradle to the hearse
My flows goin deep
When you underneath my cap size
Heard that boom bap
Started feelin baptized
Rap protagonist,
toe taggin bad guys
Mine is (minus) all I know
Spare me with yo advice (add vice)
Wanna show you the real me
Stay chillin but a thrill at thinkin
what I will be
I'm ill with the skills but I'm guilty
If everybody else got a filter
Then I'm filthy

Nothing comes for free, mate
Ae, that's what my mum always says
HO! You wanna do some bombs?
Some what?
Some bombs, cuz!
(Cheeehooo!) [jumps into water]
Your turn bro!
Oh, nah, I'm too old for that sort of thing, mate
Not even, my Auntie is older than you and she does bigger bombs than all of us!
Really?
Mean day, bro.
So what's your name anyway?
I'm known by many names
One'll do, cuz
How does God sound?
You're God?
Yep.
Well, you can be whoever you wanna be I guess. That's what my dad always says.
You want me to prove it?!
Yup!
You want a bomb, I'll show you a bomb!
Bro, can you even swim?
Of course I can swim, I invented swimming! [jumps, flips wildly, dives, shoots back out of the water]
You are God!
Told ya.
What are you doing in New Zealand?!
I don't know really. I just felt that I had to come back here. Back to my Eden.
We call it Aoterora around here bro
It's good to come home now and then, ae bro? Eat some ice creams, do some bombs... You're never too old bro, you're never too old.
Who said that? Your mum?
Nah, that was all me bro!

Verse: ZoMeR
Swear I need a break
From the fakes in my life
Piece of cake if I take
A vacation tonight
So I ride around town
Til my head in the clouds
Lookin up now
But feelin down
for the count
Pound pound
goes the sound
Of my speakers
because
It helps to drown out
all my doubts
when the beat thuds
Pick my feet up when I hit the train tracks
I believe luck, but I never blame that
Woo, and they say the boy can't rap
More (w)raps on my head than an A-rab
Can I say that? Now are they mad?
Been a lot in (Bin Laden) the news
Givin a name tag
To the bad guys
Kinda sad why
Kids fry their noodles in the street, that ain't pad Thai
FOX News houndin- ain't a friend to me
Silly if it's them who identifies our enemies
But I see it all vividly
Finna been a minute for the men
who missin mental energy
But I just try to be approachable
Keep ya mind open
cause emotions ain't negotiable
I keep on quotin all the potent minds
Try to toe the line
Not totally rap, mo' than spoken rhyme
Hopin I'm...known to be a poet flowing like
Dr Suess, (Shel) Silverstein
and Edgar Allen Poe combined
And if you notice, fine
To each his own but homie know I'm in the zone this time
When I'm twenty fo' and five
That throne is mine
See you at the top

Why was I makin a plan?
Forget mappin it out-

I'm praying for the day
that I can say I'm the man
But waitin for the plaques
Like a weight up on my back
I'll create a way to rap
To break your dated Betamax
They say we made of data
But we greater than a stat
Trade a layup for a fadeaway
And Gatorade will splash
Shake hands with some
Break dance with others
Take chances, jam, and
don't make plans for summer
Gave an unadulterated ultimatum to the mayor
In the mayhem may have made a major error in my dare
Told him "I don't wanna put up-
with the cloudy days"
Suddenly he stood up-
"Wipe the pouty face!"
Told me if its lookin gloomy
It's your duty to be the-

That passion it comes from within
How you find happiness without your friends?
Can it be
That vanity
Is serving as a canopy?
Everybody watchin
so nobody actin candidly?

Soon or later human nature's
future won't be gloomy shade
Let your light shine bright
right up in the darkest night
Find that silver lining in the sky
Let the sparks ignite

Placed in a nation
raised on medication
Makin em complacent

Let the news frame it
Don't know how to say this
I'm young and I'm brainless
Got a spark in my soul
gotta feed that shit
Art is the goal
Man I need that shit
Met a group of students
I said dream it- you can do it
They said "move it, Mr. Tutor
You gon make us late for class"
I stayed awake the past
Several days I'm facing facts
Masquerading in a mask
In a place that's fadin fast
But hold up
Bridge/Hook
Verse 3:
Do a clap if you feelin like me on this
Do a clap if you really wanna be up next
They wanna doubt- let em doubt then
Word of mouth is a loud friend
I do my thang
For the gains
And they don't know
my name
Moonshot! Aimin for the top!
Maybe little crazy
Wavy as a
Yacht, yacht, yacht?
Any whip that I'm in
I'm the Cap of the ship
Don't trip
When I'm flipping the script and
Not giving a shit
I'm predicting predicaments
Give em the slip
(A higher power callin )
Fuck a needle in my vein
Put a needle to the vinyl
Finally I will be the one that is the idol
Every wave I get is like a title (tidal)
I pull smiles outta people on my spinal
I always keep it movin though
Never know when the artist gonna find their studio
You got a duty to do ya thang
Find that beauty's a boomerang
Y'all don't even know my name
Y'all gon see me play the game
Save the TV for the fame
The world I leave won't be the same

Hook:
Took a while to grow
Still got miles to go
So I smile
Check my style
Versatile with flows

Verse 1:
Today I rolled a j on my résumé
And hesitated
If the better days are yesterday
Then the best are waitin
I'm at the portal of importance
Thought it out beforehand
Sorta bein cordial with the doorman
Short scans of the floor plan
Got the Morgan in my organs (Oregon)
Shout to Portland
This is more than a feeling than I've ever felt before, man
Ever since Nas told me "Yo, the world is yours fam"
I go and get- going up when I hit the bar
You gotta plan it (planet) if you wanna get amid the stars
Bull headed, acting like a mad Minotaur
Hit me with your best shot, bitch I'm Pat Benatar
Hook
Verse 2:
I found a girl with a body and a face man
We get blazed at my place watchin space jam
Now her hand on my waistband
She damp like graffiti
when the spray can paint ran
This my chance, hear my adamant plea
Tryna set these butterflies in my abdomen free
We belong with each other, we like Adam and Eve
Just put 2 and 2 together, she can add em with ease
Ha, then I started sharin my album
She went down faster than a peregrine falcon
Givin neck like she wearin medallions
Now we horsin around just like a mare and a stallion
She an animal, I'm no Dr. Doolittle (do little)
But know I'd rather have a dime, than two nickels
She crawling like a Rugrat, guess I'm Stu Pickles
And here comes the boom!
Cause she playin with a nuke missile
Now her clothes all
Over the place
I suppose I'll,
put it down like disposals
Shows off what she workin with
Got them curvy hips
And the perfect lips
I worship em,
they serve so many purposes
That body is a killa (killa)
David Berkowitz
We doin our thing,
we both seeing the world
But when I see that smile,
it's just me and my girl
Bridge:
Took a-took a while to grow
And I still-and I still got miles to go
So I smile...check my style
Still got miles to go
So I smile
Check my style
Versatile with flows
Verse 3:
Running around the track
When I rap, then I'm Usain Bolt
If you waiting for sales/sails
dropping them lines and hooks
then we in the same boat
Blowing the same smoke
Dark horse, no scapegoat
My wins (winds) are pickin up
Bring your rain (reign) coat
Me comin a long way
Has been a long time comin
Either loud or I'm quiet,
I'm either blunt or I'm blunted
And I'm the one that y'all be talkin about
But the loudest in the crowd
Is the proudest to pout
I'm out

Chorus: Dirty Projectors + Bjork
Verse 1:
Got ya message-
(Ay bay bay)
What you doin later?
Dating feels outdated
Like a Studebaker
And I ain't got no paper
I can be creative
Let me play ya Don Draper
We can put on Netflix
Even if you give me neck
I still can't get you necklace (neck-less)
Roll it up light it up
Pourin Nesquik
Now we breathless
and movin to the next flick
Which is my addiction?
A drama or a comedy
or glitzy science fiction?
We never pickin
when we given decisions
Swear we flipping through the Netflix
And switchin positions
What's the definition of a date?
I'm in the kitchen whipping chicken
What a plate
We debate what to watch
but it's all fun and games
We up late to get laid
Chorus
Verse 2:
No commercials for the nocturnal
She read (red) my mind
and blew (blue) it
She's gettin purple
Her lips (ellipse) got my head spinnin circles
The diversion is universal
Thoughts/Thots everywhere
But she the one I'm thinkin bout
Goin slower than a read-a-loud
I'll just take the scenic route
She said she's seen it,
but she screaming now
The screen is askin if we sleepin now
It's Always Sunny on a rainy day
Dark Knights on a bright one
We don't gotta play the waiting game
Its turnt on all night long
I'm Harry Potter to her Ginny Weasley
Jim Halpert to her Pam Beasley
She's the Lois to my Peter Griffin
The Robin to my Barney Stinson
Finishing the series
So we searchin for another one
(Another one
Another one)
A couple lovers cuddled up,
bein subtle huh?
Both lookin for that
"underneath the covers" fun
Chorus

Hook:
If you sweatin
Feelin stress and
Vice versa
Be cool muthafucka
Be cool
If he flexing in ya section
Did he hurt ya?
Be cool mothufucka be cool
x2
Don't sweat it / I won't (x8)
Verse 1: ZoMeR
Sometimes
I don't know what to write
So I contemplate
if imma stay sober tonight
Then I roll up and light
Ignite
Holding the mic
I'm like,
"My ex (X) was a 10,
I was a bowlin a strike"
Spare ya sympathy homie
I'm on my third in a row
That's a turkey for you bird brained
murder of crows
I'm introverted when burnin the sage
Learning to learn how to age
Searchin for the next chapter
Turnin the page
Absurd and a little nerdy
Ya heard I'm a little quirky
Deserving some wordy praise
I'm certainly worth researching
Shout to Bernie Mac and (Ol') Dirty
with their early fates
I can't wait to move like Bernie
at the pearly gates
I'm on the rise like carbonation
"Hate to burst your bubble, Cuz,
But you're a Caucasian"
Gotta face that I'm placed
in the back of the pack
My skin ain't black-
White men can't rap?
Woah!
Pressed play
on a Dre track
All the way back
in 08 that
made Zach
into ZOME
Hook
Verse 2: Spoonman
Winter's coming and everybody knows
I turn this Game of Thrones
Into a Feast for Crows
But I don't have a longbow, just my prose
I suppose you won't know until we juxtapose
The pros from the Joes
I'll slay your brain
Like I'm Ser Ilyn Payne
And you're Ned Stark
Take some acid leave your ass in aspect
Like that lark's tongue
My rivals are sparse but I won't parse my tongue
You fake snakes can't take my Parseltongue
Take ya date give her my snake and that partial tongue
"How many times you think he can rhyme the word tongue?"
I guess five but now I'm done
They say you are what you eat
In rap, you are who ya beef
Oh Drake used memes on Meek? That's nice
C'mon Aubrey, take on someone your own size
Been two years since that Control verse dropped
Still no response, and you think you're at the top of hip-hop?
It's okay to be pop, if you want a few bucks worth
But step aside for Mike Render and Mr. Duckworth
Please don't be butthurt,
feasting on the game now my gut hurt
Hook
Verse 3: SpoonMan/ZoMeR
My ego's so big I had to make another one
A less subtle one
The rap game chew you up like bubblegum/
Kinda like Orbitz, unfortunately
This assorted score of bores is sorta sordid to me/
The lore of commitment is morbid to me
Wishin Cosmo and Wanda to get me out of this thing/
But what's a Crimson Chin to the Crimson King?/
The 22-year old 21st Century Schizoid Man
Noided by my voided plans, man
Hittin y'all with a flurry cuz I'm in a hurry to get out of Missouri/
Now catch me out in Oregon
Smoking on oregano
Addin spice to my life
but feelin like they don't know
The strain in my veins is insane
Super Saiyan flow
Cascade deschutes to refute my stress
I'm off the mids, when I moved out west
Now we the best
Bridge/Hook

I've seen a lot in the last two years. This is my journey, told through a mix of borrowed instrumentals and homemade beats, funky raps, struggle bars, and a lot of sampling.
