I Got You

(Album: Nocturnal Instinct - 2020)

Yeah, yeah
Owls, Owls

Yo, I'm just tryna free my mind
Man, it feel like it been some time
I need to find another world
It's opening, I'm jumping in, yeah

Lost within the echo chamber, deep within the next dimension
I'm in the pathways of your thoughts that I forget to mention
The twisted realism, they been feeding people
With the drip to keep 'em twisted
Till we took the road and seen the distance
I re-position, lounging with the light reflecting
Man, I'm tryna find a timeless essence
We tumble through a life of questions like contestants
We wonder where the prizes rest, and I was like with nothing
I was sitting here with everything
I was never bluffing and I was never pretending shit
If they were there for you, I hope you still remember it
It sounds so obvious, but, man, you know when been forgetting things
Erasing history like it was a place we'd never been
Embarking on the future now, we preparing or everything
So if you love it, sure forever, put your effort in
And that was on the promise but you almost made a mess of it

I'm just tryna free my mind
It's feeling like it's been some time
I need to find another world
It's opening, I'm jumping in
There's something in the air again, I'm feeling it
We're breathing in, we altogether share the pain
The means to just release it quick
Ayo, I'm just tryna free my mind
I need to find another world that's opening, I'm jumping in
There's something in the air again, I'm feeling it
We're breathing in, we altogether share the pain
The means to just release it quick

I'm feeling crazy, shouldn't even be rapping
Come back when I'm better, I'm just doing it for you
I can tell that you feeling like me too
On the edge of the world seeing this fucked view
Stuck in a few ruts, I never gave two fucks
Act like I'm blessed, but I'm lost when I do drugs
Barely a nice guy, I ain't tryna be a truther
But I don't trust nobody, the more I'm seeing through, bruh
The only people I do love don't even know me
I know you praise me all the time, but It's feeling phony
Ghostly, walking like an empty shell, lonely
My old friends only want money when they phone me
But it's cool, 'cause I made it and you didn't, G
Nobody could've predicted the man that I got to be
Here for the world, but ain't here for myself
My last penny for your thought, heard you needed some help
And I got you

Nightmare of a daydream, my focus don't stay here
I play for my own team, they wish they could get near
When I arrive, I've already left
I was never clever, trust me, just a war in my head
I'm fortunate they got left, they fell short of the test
They sounded big in their verse, but they look small in their dress
It's funny, should've listened to the voice in my head
Don't believe it myself, but they're not with them instead
Now I'm friends with the voice, not only by choice
Always from another world, I never fit in with the boys
Always struggled with the madness, but weighed in with the badness
Made us rap with the pamphlet to take drugs with my man kids
Inherited degenerate with the benefits
Of better shit, paranoid security on my premises
Where did he go? He'll return in a minute
Went for a walk in his head, and he'll be back with spinach

I'm just tryna free my mind
It's feeling like it's been some time
I need to find another world
It's opening, I'm jumping in
There's something in the air again, I'm feeling it
We're breathing in, we altogether share the pain
I need to just release it quick
Ayo, I'm just tryna free my mind
I need to find another world
It's opening, I'm jumping in
There's something in the air again, I'm feeling it
We're breathing in, we altogether share the pain
I need to just release it quick

I'm just tryna take this art to a new high
I'm just tryna wipe some scars from those boozy nights
And I so I blackout, yeah, I'm telling you, the future's bright
We make the music, move the units, do that shit for life
That's the reason why you never wear no suit and tie
Forever doing overtime, life's cruising by
Remember us, and you always stay up upon the time
Little did they know I've hit the croup and I feel brutalized
The mutant in this movement got the music served super-sized
To please my mind, search for center, elect clues for crimes
Classic albums hanging in my lap like they've been crucified
Everything and after swept away, man, I had to sacrifice
It's Gon' cannibalize my appetite
Hungry for this rapping life
It ain't anticipating
I'll take your breath like asphyxiation
You don't know me by association
I find myself and feed my soul through this co-creation
