Memory Loss

(album: Faith Is A Rock - 2023)

[MIKE:]
Think I'm living large

She think I'm living large, a victim of the hard pavement
Different from a star, look different from afar, ain't it?
Now that's a spliffy spark, some shit to keep my heart racing
Shit be full of frauds, don't listen to the false claiming
I took a fall, was tripping 'cause' I lost patience
But I got shit resolved, a bit I need to solve latent
Ain't no quick results, you give in what you gon' take in
Peep we dripped it off, but really you was soft-hating
I keep my mitt involved the mittens on for raw flaming
You know the biggest dogs get chicken with their paws shaking
Can't be living long, we living for the large payment
I swear I rid my wrongs, a written's I performed aching
Every bit of song or scribble that I thought of saving

I'm writing down everything you say in my mind

[Wiki:]
Since a shorty, it was up, I would blush
Always acting tough, could call me on my bluff
As a kid, I thought this is what it was
Living how I want but it wasn't giving him enough
It's different from how I thought it would've been when I grew up
I still got some shit to overcome
Took a plunge, came back up above to take a puff
Of some Haze and a Vanilla Dutch
Gotta save my lungs while I'm young
Just in case it's too late to adjust
Something sacred faded from what I was made up of
I lost my native tongue, it's part of the way I was
Why I memorized every line when every day begun
And every day was done, I still forget at times
It's the life getting fried
Made me forget my rhymes, at times it made him dumb
Less energized with every blunt
But all side effects aside it tend to mend my mind
Left him mesmerized, it made it fun
What you tryna save him from?
Worked a ten-to-nine
10 AM to 9 AM, don't remember why
Spent my time at the venue getting high
Just remember always saddle up before you say goodbye
