(Ah-ahh, ayy, ayy, ayy) Lean back and I’m reflectin’ (yes!) I need that when I refresh, yeah (fresh!) I lean back and I’m reflectin’ (reflect!) I need that when I refresh, yeah (yeah!) Catch the current, get the currency See the current scene, and reflect (reflect) Head be hurtin’, heavy burdens kept me hermit Resurface, refresh (yeah) Catch the current, get the currency See the current scene, and reflect (reflect) Head be hurtin’, heavy burdens kept me hermit Resurface, refresh We be buildin’ bridges Try’na heal, lemme chill a minute It’s recess, me and my idiot friends need stress relief Rest and sleep is the recipe we neglect We sesh, chief cess, cease, then regress It’s best to keep the egress, especially in the deep end When life is a beach I’m gonna speak French Remember, you pee in the piscine, it’s tricky to be cleansed Swimmin’ in the abyss, billions of fish in the sea glisten and gleam Listen to me! Everything isn’t literally a catch We know better, but it don’t matter When lemons lookin’ so good on a gold platter I’m itchin’ to take a sip of the potion And skinny dip in the ocean I don’t know if my woman or flow wetter They both float the boat, though (No doubt) Not even an iota I keep all my eyes open and close mouth Chlorine is scorching my cornea til the vessels pop (I need somethin’ to soothe please!) Some oolong tea, the kettle’s hot I’m rockin’ that old sweater in cold weather How they don’t get it? I’ll never stop Somethin’ like Samsara We say sorry when it’s no biggie But can’t swallow our pride when we oughta The throat’s sticky, like honey and agave If you change, hope it ain’t the money, money, mon(ayy, ayy, ayy) Lean back and I’m reflectin’ (yes!) I need that when I refresh, yeah (fresh!) I lean back and I’m reflectin’ (reflect!) I need that when I refresh (fresh, fresh, fresh) Water . . . Lean back and I- (Fly!) Mix cement with things they set in stone Beats like this, like cabs they take me home This ain’t fetch but can you catch a bone? Had no license, still was packin’ chrome Wasn’t gonna either drip or drown Police catch him then he sitt in’ down Like Tupac you know he get around Every song come with a different sound I provide for mine of my creation So fulfilled when I make new vibrations We influenced the whole generation Proud to be a source of inspiration Been workin’ so hard I should probly go on a vacation Bookin’ a flight for my family and switch our location You know the ganja is one of the best medications They call me Fly so I’m all about high elevation (Fly!) Water . . . Water is life
3.	Flow State 02:01	lyrics	buy track
I’m in my flow state, yeah One with the moment, we floatin’ It’s so painless, so painless Nowhere to go but nowhere if you don’t take risks, yeah Life is a circle, I stay in the rotation, yeah Live in the moment, that’s a difficult goal set (hm) More than a bit I’m Obsessive Compulsive My disorder is sort of a gift and a curse Been different since birth First labelled sick Then they said it’s sick, and they givin’ roses Take a whiff of it Let the kids know it’s dope to be different and sensitive We went from sittin’ stoned on a sofa to sittin’ with every emotion And every so often I still do be hittin’ the dubie and sippin’ the potion But dubiously, cuz I seen what influences do to you and me Do you see the loop-de-loop we been through? Truthfully it’s not a new anomaly But we been doin’ the Running Man And nothin’s stoppin’ me but me Searchin’ for perfect, I know that it doesn’t exist Yearning to purge the urge to work the imperfectness to undeserving deaths If you love it, learn to let it go Cuz you never know where the pattern is goin’ Yin Yang, Big Bang that set us in motion Skippin’ stones, ripples roll, and the rest is eroded This is a moment in time, just a moment in time The individual is a disguise, just one component of God Jesus turned water to wine, Moses made oceans subside Muhammad multiplied water supplies Siddhartha was closer to dyin’  Then he went in that flow state, yeah One with the moment, we floatin’ It’s so painless, so painless, yeah Nowhere to go but nowhere if you don’t take risks Life is a circle, I stay in the rotation Even though they be switchin’ flows I stay in the rotation Even though they be switchin’ flows I stay in the rotation Flow state, yeah
4.	Loch Ness (ft. Sol ChYld) 01:54	lyrics	buy track
Who do you think you are? Talkin’ to you whack muthafuckin’ rappers You whack rappers! What… what gives… What gives you the right? You either got bars… or you don’t! Ok, y’all got the drip, but never drop I been known to flip, but I never flop I run up the streams while you’re nursin’ a trickle I make it rain, yeah you’re more of a sprinkle My girl’s a dime, yours- maybe nickel. I’m not afraid of change, you stay the same And stagnate like a puddle Sorry for bursting your bubble Your flow is disposable, period I’m instrumental No management, no A&R Fuck the NRA but I spray like an AR You just a blip on my radar, I’m sinkin’ your ship W With the flick of my wrist like I’m Dagon Fuck a photo op like I’m the the Loch Ness It’s not a compliment to call me Top 10 Bitch I’m the one Sit down be HUMBLE like Kendrick said You won’t take me out my element Yeah You won’t take me out my element Yeah, yeah You won’t take me out my- aye! Fuck a photo op like I’m the the Loch Ness It’s not a compliment to call me Top 10 Bitch I’m the one Sit down be HUMBLE like Kendrick said You won’t take me out my Element if you don’t really gotta do it I done drowned in a pool of some lighter fluid I done told all these fools if I gotta pay a price You’ll be swimmin’ with the fishes, and I put that on my life Like, “please don’t kill my vibe” For leisure I stopped gettin’ high Fuck a Peter and a pecker, I been pickin’ up my pen And a pint for the pressure, so I’m profitin’ to win Like, please! Get off my line light speed Swam in the swamp with my gators and my Crocs on Jumped in the ocean with my socks on Weird muhfuckas like to hop on deez Cut ‘em off like got a caesar from the locs I been goin’ Yonkers like I’m chillin’ with The Lox I ain’t goin’ off, but why you chillin’ with the ops? Shit kinda like chillin’ with the cops, that’s 12 I ain’t gon’ sink, I swim (unh) Please don’t blink, I pinned Muhfuckas like to be a fan of the bitch But ain’t afraid of the wind I ain’t been afraid of a win I just do it again, and again, and again, and again Praise to the lord like a muhfuckin’ sin I been goin’ in, goin’ in, yeah
5.	Troubled Waters 02:49	lyrics	buy track
Troubled water under burning bridges Bubbles underneath the surface tension Too late is usually viewed in the mirror The human fear of seeing your reflection Troubled waters Bubbles under Troubled waters Troubled waters where we bubble underneath the surface tension Til’ that boiling point each of us reaches when we obscure reflections We’re scared to look at what deserve attention Scarred, starved for acceptance Inverted nurturance turns into disturbed expressions of a heavy burden The hurtin’ don’t lessen the hurtin’ Yet we’re yet to learn the lesson in these troubled waters I wish they were just uncharted But we’re forever forgettin’, like a fish you already caught It must be somethin’ blockin’, in the way of the neuroreceptor That make someone put a Glock up to a brain Sadness converts to aggression when that is the only accepted masculine display Make murderers and masochists from pain This concept came to me angrily But I feel like it may be a tragedy That don’t feel right either It’s makin’ the man in me realize What made me a man in these eyes that scrutinize you and I Turn sadness to anger, and act as if that were a pain reliever The anesthesia of the fallacy of bein’ made to be above these Troubled waters Bubbles under Troubled waters The human fear of seein’ your reflection Troubled water under burning bridges Need something’ larger than life rafts Something stronger than this bourbon and whiskey Vision blurry, “Fuck a ice cap” Aye aye, cap’ You know we ride or die Win or lose in this rising tide Trying times will find you gettin’ high with pride Pride’ll tell you to dry your eyes You and I, we had plans that were Titanic in their size The kind where you fly banners in the sky Damn, what a high there is within pride You kinda gotta hand it to the guy Man learned to hide panic in his eyes Why does a caring parent tell us lies? Why does the land vanish in the tide? I think we’re findin’ Atlantis this time
6.	Stream of Consciousness 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Je t’aime frère On a.. Monday So… Have a nice day, have a nice week More love Good vibration And.. one life brother You know, one life Hahaaa, love! Love, Robin! Floatin’ in a stream of consciousness I don’t even know what time it is Or if I exist, for that matter These the kind of questions I’m askin’ While I’m in the shower doin’ daily ablutions Readin’ the Dr. Brohner’s bottle It’s a lot that’s bottled up- should probly cry a bit Fuck, I gotta try again Before I remember that I’m a man I ain’t made of Iron, man But I ain’t afraid to do some ironin’ I just can’t find a Wrinkle and Time for it That’s irony I just be finding peace in the minor things Ground Control to Major Tom I’m just grateful you made time to talk to me That reminds me, gotta give my moms a ring Honestly. I don’t wanna talk about the economy Actually, I think this tragedy is a comedy Interesting… So when they laugh at me, that’s applause to me Simply put, I don’t see the need for the arguments You could find me in a stream of consciousness I’ll be in the deep blue sea I’m hopin’ I could see you soon All we really need to be is true (true, true, true) Yeah you could find me in that Deep blue sea I’m hopin’ I could see you soon All I ever seem to see is blue (blue) I’ll be in the deep blue sea I’m hopin’ I could see you soon All we really need to be is true (true, true, true) I’m hopin’ I could see you soon See you soon (Blue, blue, blue) I wake up in the morning without warning Sip a coffee in the office, get the engine runnin’ It’s a lot I put on my shoulders But I promise I’mma shake every chip up off it You can find me cheffin’ ramen, that’s a dime a dozen There’s a kind of solace at the bottom Everything that I sed-i-ment, but never settle on it Put the kettle on and tell me Are you a friend of the devil or type to get offended by him? I been thinkin’ thoughts like is it wrong If I wish I was a little more simple minded? I be so idiotic with logic I make the shit complicated Can’t make up my mind if I’m liquid, solid, or vapor I’m spliffin’ chronic, singin’ songs, gettin nostalgic Searchin’ for something- I think I’ll find it in the I’ll be in the deep blue sea I’m hopin’ I could see you soon All we really need to be is true (true, true, true) Yeah you could find me in that Deep blue sea I’m hopin’ I could see you soon All I ever seem to see is blue (blue)
7.	Atlantis 02:28	lyrics	buy track
Water has no beginning and no end Take a deep breath You’ll need it beneath it It keeps secrets But when you need a cleanin’ It washes all the sweat from your skin Watch the way it cleanse from within The depth ever deepens What births life is a basic birth right When I’m crazy hot headed I go and immerse mine, mind you The ebb and flow, you never know where it’s gonna go Might let you float and then drag you down in the undertow Understand how a fountain floods and nourishes Because it can drown or be the reason for flourishin’ Rise, roll, crash, and crush In the sky, the coals, and the grass, it’s a must Mac swam in it It was there when it began And it’s gonna be wherever it ends Whether you damn it or admit it Water gives life and it takes it And when there’s nothing left Still it’s right as the rain is And if it should come to pass how they said it could Would god see it and say it was good? Would there even be a trace to remember us? Beneath the waves, a stick in the mud And if it should come to pass how they said it could Would god see it and say it was good? Would there even be a trace to remember us? Beneath the waves, a stick in the mud And if it should come to pass how they said it could Would god see it and say it was good? Would there even be a trace to remember us? Or would they question if this ever was, like Atlantis I can’t get over you I can’t get over you I can’t get over you I can’t get over you
8.	Rinse n Repeat 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Take a deep breath and release Wash it all away, and you rinse n repeat This is a message in a bottle I sent it tryna find you Marooned but not forgotten The silence is the hardest pill to swallow And that water’s full of salt though I see you feel like Waldo all alone on your desert island And I know we were told no man is one But I don’t know if man is one They say the best of us must attempt To empty the ocean with just a spoon Once impossible, now probable soon I’m a molecule in the grand scheme Granule on a sand beach You ever sit and sonder bout the big shots? Just some drops in the bucket But got the bucks to get motherfuckers picked off Compassionless, only passion is cashing in on pitfalls of masses Rich as fuck and somehow still pissed off and anxious Just like the rest of us I guess no matter what dissatisfaction gets the best of ya Ever let regrets get long enough to wanna end it all Instead of startin over Overboard, no recollection which direction’s up I dive deeper to find peace or the rock bottom I’m fine with either, I want solace (I want solace) Cause for hope within my brothers and sisters, and other siblings But it seems the best among us are long goners I wonder where are the answers for my people If I keep it real honest, there aren’t many that I could offer Optimistic and authentic Society manslaughters our common interests And I can’t fix it, so I Take a deep breath and release Wash it all away, and you rinse n repeat Wishes ain’t free, yes they come with a fee Nothin’ in this life comes cheap Nothing that I like is complete It’s just another night for a fiend I live and I die for my team I give all that’s mine for the dream I do what is right as I see You and I could learn to relieve Take a deep breath and release Wash away the sin, and you rinse n repeat Wishes ain’t free, yes they come with a fee Nothin’ in this life comes cheap Nothing that I like is complete It’s just another night for a fiend I live and I die for my team I’ll RIP like the tide for my dream My eyes are as wide as the sea
