Inspired by a sip of tea and a bible verse, “Hot Coffee Freestyle” is a plea to a friend (or oneself) to lay the past to rest and make way for progression.

Why search for the living among the dead?
Takin sips of your chances
Of guilt and romances
What gives you peace when you rest your head?
Do you know that most souls
Would kill for what you own?
You say it's inviting
That dead end
But I'ma tell you now
You ain't got the time to spend
My friend
Just put it in writing
And break the pen
Stop crossin your fingers now
Don't make that mistake again
Is it your mission to be alone?
All that mulling and brewing
Makes bittersweet ruin
When will you stop howling at the moon?
Take a picture then rip it
Feel it, then forget it
You say it's inviting
That dead end
But I'ma tell you now
You ain't got the time to spend
My friend
Just put it in writing
And break the pen
Stop crossin your fingers now
Don't make that mistake again
Your cup runs over into the seas
Oh can't you see nothing's missin'
I hope that you're listenin'
How can the wind bring you to your knees?
Drown in homemade disaster
Who is your master?
You say it's inviting
That dead end
Oh, I'ma tell you now
You ain't got the time to spend
My friend
Just put it in writing
And break the pen
Stop crossin your fingers now
Don't make that mistake again
