Nest

I just broke the nest

And I just shit on the mold

And I can't wait to be old

And have with no regrets and rebuild that nest

But in the meantime, I'mma Oh cause I need mine

Oats get felt 'till I'm old like [?]

And that motherfucker's old

I hope I make it that far. I probably won't

Wheat bread, O.J.. I'm feeling that [?]

Just a sprinkle on my eggs then I'm no my way

Looking for a new day

Yesterday wasn't shit and today looks the same

Everyone's got a boat, but that shit won't float

When the city goes broke everyones unpaid

And the people need aid

Citizenry so desperate even atheists pray

People doing it for self. Never mind brothers help

That end [?] crumbles you'll be looking for blade

Cause the guns are all taken

What you thought was your wealth just turns into paper

Hating every other person that you see

Cause they got a loaf of bread and you want something to eat

You want something to be, and you want something to do

But when nobody's talking, nobody can tell the truth

I'm gone...

I just broke the nest

And I just shit on the mold

And I can't wait to be old

And have with no regrets and rebuild that nest

But in the meantime I stay cold like freon

King of the castle. No lasso. No peon

That's why I like to keep my eyes closed

Cause I'm trying to help these words get a life and keep going

I spit the true story. We came for glory

We came from more than what a bucket can hold

We trying to feed a village while avoiding the pillage

But I heard it's kind of tough when those suckers are loaded

You see they got this fire. They use this fire

To keep us blind to our thoughts, our desires

On a hire plane. Yeah, we tame these liars

We got our water. Mother-fuck your fire

We keep on banging. Those bells keep ranging

Our people could go home, but no they're staying

The clock keeps ringing and the time keeps changing

Smiles everywhere; you wouldn't think that it was raining

Fuck that sunlight. Look at this gun fight

Muzzle flash, blast. Fireworks looks fun, right?

Fourth of July we're getting high

We dig those graves

Looks like we took for granted those good old days

And I'm gone...

I just broke the nest

And I just shit on the mold

And I can't wait to be old

And have with no regrets and rebuild that nest

But in the meantime, I glow neon like [?]

A light so bright it'll shine for the eons

And that's why I keep my eyes closed

Cause that shit'll scorch my retina if I try to keep 'em open

One of those times you can't keep your voice from shaking

Inflection breaks pace and you can't be faking

You wish you were. Overanalyzing things

That you did before. Back when making a mistake

Was just his or hers. It didn't matter. Fuzzy math

Chalk it up to dumb youth. The fact that your ass

Was in college. Any major fuck ups that happened

Line 'em up in a column. Title that shit knowledge

It's like a free pass. The best endorsement

To force kids into getting A's on reports

It's an invite to la-la land

Where the glass in greener than Jim Cricket on an HD screen

Like when Ready to Die was remastered

Sure it sounds good, but the '94 version was the classic

I can't go back, and neither can you

So just deal with it. Heal quick and heed the truth

The truth is the proof ain't up in the jello

It's when the drama builds up with the strings of the cello

And regrets take a back seat to waking up fresh

Open up the blinds looking at the sun saying "Hello"

And maybe that sounds cliche. But maybe cliche's okay

Cause lately we've been searching for reason

And even though we can't see or touch it

I can hear it, and it's breathing
