lyrics

They couldn’t hold a candlewick, let alone the wax
Whether we’re talking vinyl or the other one I’m prone to snap
Got my voice embedded into blackened grooves
And writing raps is how I’d love to pass the afternoons
Transformative, the rapper in a glass cocoon
San’s storming in Jurassic give giraffe the room
Mack a ron or is it macaroon? Back in June
All the cats mask-riding catch a sack of doom
Here to Sasakatoon I craft the tune accordingly
The weirdest rapping dude attaches to the form of beat
My core beliefs are staying true to self and being kind
But sometimes that confusion makes me realign
See this world rap that I exist amidst
Isn’t quite the dreamscape that I had wished for it
Quid pro quos degraded to amatuer
Shepherd fleecing flocks, bucks from a famished herd

Busfoot and Kofa, laying the track
Kansas City to the Fortress with a Wayne and it’s stacked
Flux Capacitor in Cairo so we’re taking it back
Just some passengers arriving with a flavorful batch

Quite content to live inside a bubble that I made of words
Whether celebrating birth or making fatal verse
And I become what the beat finds within me
Whether commentary’s anger, or a side of whimsy
I can feel invincible or even kind of flimsy
Depending on the vibe I’m given, that’s the magic of it
I write a vision, my pen is the chaperone
Sublime, not rigid, staying fluid as the fabric roams
Challenging myself to keep improving as I go
And friendships are made along that windy road
A treasure chest inside I find my heart a tiny trove
Providing pose,a feather’s heft or mighty load
Hidy ho whether playalistic or the Simpsons
Hate diseases, but adore the symptoms
There’s gold in the hills of those who stay sick
Imposter status complete with the cape that they stick

Taking flight without a sampler Busfoot had custom made
With the Common and Normal logo plus the tray
Microbrewery pursuits to make Frieder overjoyed
I’m speaking upon my friend Joel, no need for ploys
Just a heap of life everything at once with feeling
All the feelings all at once amongst the months of healing
If you happen to see, give him my regards
And give him a bearhug cause that’s love the size of hearts
He’ll probably take you to a place he loves the food from
Or maybe take you bike riding for some new fun
Tell you bout the bees that almost killed him
Along with thirty other things in life that thrill him
You want to be alive, be with him and buckle up
Speak truth to power, live your life it’s such a rush
Rumor has it he can even go and cut a rug
Down to tiny shreds, no life regrets, it’s time to summon us
