A PEAceful Outroduction

(album: Healthy Snacks - 2018)

It was nice to meet you, I love making friends
But every good mixtape must come to an end
When the next one drops I hope that I'll see you again
'Til then I'll pick the pen up with the strength of ten men (Amen)
Don't you forget your favorite goof ball, gluten free rapper
Wearing chucks with the flannel, call it denim jacket dapper
West coast and Washingtonian, the super loud laugher
That Jesus loving, church going son of a pastor
Hey, shout out to my homies back in Federal Way
Hey, the 253 is in me, I am born and raised
Hey, I can't see myself in any other state
Hey, I love the PNW so let it rain
My brain is feeling new dude, good mood
These is lyrics that you gotta chew dude, like good food
Music is magic that is true dude, no voodoo
My favorite rappers are my gurus
Grew up on the see-through purple plastic Gameboy Color
And the OG Nintendo 64 Smash Brothers
Still play the same games, I'm a kid undercover
No wonder my life is fun, it's just like school after summer
It's a bummer when others throw they fun into the gutter
Gives me shudders
You're tough for sure but don't make yourself suffer
Have some Gushers, don't mutter
Move your feet and go get smothered in a bear hug
Feel the love, now go and get her number
Don't step to me if all you bring is negativity
You've gotta choose to see the world the way it should be seen
Beauty times infinity, pickup or proclivity
From powerfully prolific potential positivity
Man I don't got time to wait in line to make a dime
You know that life ain't 'bout that grind and dollar signs and dollar lines
That says you'll find happiness inside that you can't buy yourself a high
But that ain't right, I've made up my mind, I'm writing rhymes until I die

Give a nod to the folks who think I'm odd
I don't mess with no facade, I'm too busy being PEABOD
Rolling with my squad like we peas in the pod
I take comfort in the rod and the staff of my God

All these rappers always making lofty claims like
"Yo, I'm what happens when James Brown meets Kanye"
Sure, I'm more like if Arthur Read picked up the bass
And grew up playing in church and with some tracks by Beyonce
I'm if reckless ate breakfast with my best friends every day
If restless made a checklist and got down to business right away
My bucket list is enormous, I ain't got time to waste
Make music more, love people more, enjoy the Lord, those are some faves
If people pleasing had it's way I'd never meet my goals
Sometimes the most important word that I can say is "no"
No, I won't try to be Migos
No, I won't rip off my heroes
No, not in it for the zeroes
All of y'all let me be clear though
I ain't got time to take myself or you too seriously
Keeping up appearances just feels so weird to me
If I can't be me then tell me who am I supposed to be?
If I won a Grammy I'd thank God in my acceptance speech
That sounds like freedom, sounds like light, it sounds like color
Told you in the introduction that is where I'm trying to hover
Like dreaming 'bout the old days with my sister and brother
If joy is in the rain then I'll be praying hard for thunder
Look in my eyes, I'm pretty sure that you'll see lightning
'Cause when the skies the limit everything's exciting
This music got me feeling like I have been flying
Time to land this plane for now 'cause I need to get writing
Time to write some songs about my girl and what I've been through
Some will be rap, some will be folk, and some just might be blues
But don't you worry, there's more PEABOD music coming soon
For now I just got one more thing to say to you
I hope you see me firstly as a follower of Jesus
My songs are full of joy because I know the One who frees us
If you remember any line then let it be my thesis
Jesus loves you, Hallelujah, he will never leave us

Give a nod to the folks who think I'm odd
I don't mess with no facade, I'm too busy being PEABOD
Rolling with the squad like we peas in the pod
I take comfort in the rod and the staff of my God
Give a nod to the folks who think I'm odd (This is good for me, good for everybody)
I don't mess with no facade, I'm too busy being PEABOD (Healthy snacks and ha-a-appy raps, it's a party)
Rolling with the squad like we peas in the pod (This is good for me, good for everybody)
I take comfort in the rod and the staff of my God (Healthy snacks and ha-a-appy raps, it's a party)
Give a nod to the folks who think I'm odd (This is good for me, good for everybody)
