Knew Life Lyrics

New life, left the last one behind to do right

When it was cloudy, I flew kites till Zeus strikes

But tonight, the gloom dies under moonlight

By suicide, who am I? Don't ask, no mask

Just saying, even I don't know the half

Only way through it's with Moses' staff

A relic I don't have, so barehanded I throw jabs

The wind poured me a cold draft

I spilled some for homies from the past on the old ave

That still owe me some cash, cause Jesus paid my whole tab

Now I carry water that's holy in a flask

Every line's a metaphor for my mind state

I met the girl I'm seeing on a blind date

Wish I could rewind fate for old times sake

For so long, I feel wrong trying to say my life's great

So much buzz, I kept my phone on vibrate

My attempts resulted in the tri-state

Eating rice cakes and reminders to hydrate

The fast life slowed me down, sorry I'm late

But hey

Shout out to Charlie Fast

If y'all know about that tape, you would get that last line but anyway

Look, constantly recall I'm on God's time

When I forget, it becomes your job to remind

Only ever use my ink to draw and jot a rhyme

Never for a dotted line, cause I saw the signs

Getting hired feels like heaven when things are going well

Same way getting fired's like being lowered to hell

The rap booth is where I mostly LOL

As a kid, I whistled through my gap tooth at show and tell

Brace yourselves, now my shows have a retainer

And verses for features, I only need a stack of paper

If we're linking, it's cause my heart is a navigator

In such a good place, I may start to panic later

Guess I'm still not used to feeling so brand new

My own source of warmth was cooking old canned food

Though I miss the sequoias I often drove my van through

Could go back to them, but what type of growth would that do

Embrace them old memories with new ones

With good ones

At least try to

Yeah
