[Hook] (The Rocket Summer - Of Men and Angels)
Stop the press, Everything's a mess
You can look alive, but you are not at rest
And I-Ideas are flowing through your head
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed
A lucid life you never thought you'd lead
Are you working everyday?
Are you working just to bleed?
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
[Verse 1]
It feels like
I'm on a fight and my plane is slowly crashing
So, rocket to the stars and I'll show you I'm no has-been
I look around and witness all the nobodies I'm passin'
They all have my mixtape, that's money when I'm cashin'
Out, But, there's the haters that I dislike
Douse me out with water, just when I'm about to ignite
So, know I'm speeding past while you kick rocks and hitchhike
I'm headed for the Grammy's and my name is on the invite
No, I'm not no Drizzy, so, you niggas have some courtesy
Thinking that you know me when you liars never heard of me
You ain't gotta speak, I hear you bitchin' like telepathy
Y'all getting touchy-feely like you took a hit of Ecstasy
I'll push you down onto the ground of the cisalpine
Because, I'm headed for the top and you're not getting mine
Yeah, I'm hungry for the title, boy, it's meal time
You want it next, you better get in line
[Hook]
[Verse II]
Fiji water and a box of old raisinets
I had to live up to a life I never wanted yet
But, yeah, I sucked it up, be a man, toughen up
It's hard when you're alone, not at home, with no luck
Everything I got, I built it with my bare hands
Reputations good and bad, keep them on the same stand
Never trust a soul, even till the day die
Put your heart upon your goal and put that goal up in your mind
Wait, don't think I'm getting plush
I got these tape lines around you rappers mouth to keep you hush
And every part of me is keeping me from shutting up
I'm celibate to rappers, so, just know that I don't give a fuck
The wack bars from other artists won't stop me now
I had enough of life to know I won't be put down
So, I'mma live in chords and sleep with the pen and papet
Flow hotter than that water vapor
