Yours Truly
02:23
|

Here we go
Extend a hand, lend an ear
To the ones that you hold dear
Ya never know what’s goin’ down
The illness smiles, it doesn’t frown
Burn the rope, flush the pills
Different faces that suicide wears
Firsthand, I’ve seen it
Yours truly, I’ve barely beat it
Loaded up, Cold steel
Drop the hammer, and you’ll seal the deal
Deep breath, sixteenth floor
One false move, long fall before ya meet the lord
And I
Find it funny that I think I owe it to myself
An eternal vacation from my demons and my mental health
But my race ain’t over, no I’m not givin’ up quite yet
I still got the one who I promised my last dance
Yours Truly
Extend a hand, lend an ear
To the ones that you hold dear
Ya never know what’s going down
The illness smiles, it doesn’t frown
Burn the rope, flush the pills
Different faces that suicide wears
First hand, I’ve seen it
Yours truly, I’ve barely beat it
Yours truly, will I make it out

No Harm, No Foul
01:29
|

I stay in check, retain the course
I’ve earned my weight, I know my worth
Concede the credit, where the payments due
But I don’t owe you shit, I ain’t in debt to you
You scold, rebuke, upbraid everything I do
You mock and scorn, my steez, my own way of form
Deceit, two faced, you wish you were in my place
No Harm, No Foul just my axe to grind now
I’ll raise the steaks, I never fold
I keep my word, and that’s it’s weight in gold
I’m climbing ladders, I’m raising bars
I’m giving all I got, and it’s a no holds bard
Until I’m dead, I’m pushing through
You’re in my sights, I’m coming for you
Gainin’ speed, forward momentum
Don’t write no checks, when I can’t cash’em
You scold, rebuke, upbraid everything I do
You mock and scorn, my steez, my own way of form
Deceit, two faced, you wish you were in my place
No Harm, No Foul just my axe to grind now
No Harm, No Foul just my axe to grind now

Positivity Through Hate
01:55
|
|||
My head is spinnin’, it’s turning all around
can’t tell what’s up, can’t tell what’s down
My mind is twisted, I’m goin’ crazy
Think I’m a menace, to my own safety
Corrupt, Deranged
Perplexed, I’m on a one way train
Detached, Closed off
No Exits, Could be a lost cause
When I’m gone, I’ll be better
No rainy days, Just sweater weather
But until then, I’ll just iron out
All my bad days, And try to hold out
I got self-hate, That’s self-taught
Once I flip it, it doesn’t turn off
I’m a short fuse, little patience
Once it’s lit, you can’t escape it
Ya wanna test it, Come an’ get it
Five reasons, you’ll fuckin’ regret it
I’ll do the crime, I don’t mind the time
Hit the padded cell, Mike Muir and I
Get Help, Don’t Slip
Hold On, I can’t get a grip
Red vision, too late
You’re through, You’re stored a cold case
Fresh start, clean slate
that’s positivity, through hate
Better world, Better place
with positivity, through hate
Positivity through hate
Fresh start, clean slate, that’s positivity, that’s positivity through hate
Better world, better place, with positivity, with positivity through hate

How Many Times?
02:01
|

How many times I gotta bleed
How many times I gotta fall till I land on my feet
How many cuts until I learn
that the scars don’t itch as bad as they burn
I’ve bumped my head on the fists of a few
Took chances on others that left me screwed
placed my money in pockets that broke my bank
crossed oceans for others that left me to sink
ya wonder why I’m angry, ya wonder why I’m stubborn
been hurt by mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers
It's not so easy to land on your feet,
when you’re pullin’ out the rug out from underneath my feet
Fuck
You’ll never live in a just world
All that can go right, will always go wrong
I’m tired of bein’ pushed away
but I’m fed the same bullshit day after day
So now I carry the gavel
I’ll always carry the strife
How many times I gotta bleed
How many times I gotta fall until I land on my feet
How many times I gotta fall until I land on my feet
How many times I gotta fall until I land on my feet

Source of Joy
03:14
|

I got the sword the source of joy in my hand
No clear tells towards the fucking promise land
we'll walk our miles, we'll part the largest sea
I'll get what's mine, I'll get what's owed to me
Nan-Da-Ka strike one & your gone
I'll take the crown, won't stop till kingdom come
Nan-Da-Ka a swing and a kill
I'll etch my name where the fly god chills
NANDAKA
Where’s the merit in all the things that I've done
I finished first; but felt I haven't won
Short of sight; I took mind’s eye off the prize
I'll get what's mine, I'll get what's owed to me
Nan-Da-Ka; Strike through & I'm gone
I'll leave the crown, it's time for kingdom come
Nan-Da-Ka I'll fall on my sword
My final sin, will be my decorated reward
This game called life can be so hard to play
It's do or die, and I took the easy way
I bit the sword, I folded all my cards
The joys of my sin, weren't worth my final reward
