Written at Night

[Intro] It's glorious Quiet beauty (Shh) Silent stirs [Verse 1: Uncommon Nasa] Black like garbage bags in the night Dark corners of light, glimmers In and out of sleep on the way home The first time seeing it, seeing this part of town or that part dark Sparked but it'd be years apart before I called it art I'm the first one to see the sunrise, this one's mine Two for the price of one, I've seen both suns in one day While this untamed The randomness can leave you thinking for a long time Out all night, it's just right Quarters and payphones, but no ones home (wah?) Sleep like I should be, but I'm a would be, could be city kid Instantly paying dues and bids My future rests on no beds Like the first time that I saw it Pitch dark, fluorescent light, ships through the night Each step is more toward paranoia (watch out) But peace is in the autonomy of these choices Danger is freedom, fear on my behalf is emboldening Like I carry all the concern with me Strengthening my stance in every step, collected breath I did this (me) And when I finally do lay down my head You're best to know I found my life's calling till I'm dead (till I'm dead) [Verse 2: Billy Woods] I was smoking all night I was smoking all night Never missed a flight Carry-on full of old soul Everything cool still, climate control I was soaring all morning I was soaring all morning Louder in a bong Captain on the intercom Surrogate sunrise on silver wing I know the dreams that silver bring Came through with riddles for kings White man at the feet of the sphinx Brought low as the sun rose High as the sky fell Prepare for landing, unbuckle seat belt Gravity is my copilot Iron island in the iris Lego city from here so pretty Take pity Lord, don't let them get me Russian nail, concrete charcoal clouds Choppy water, drab Mexican brown What goes up [Verse 3: Quelle Chris] Goes up Just breaking the first forty-eight in The conversation broke innovation None will be recalled yet lost with greatness, patience Light years measured here, be clear You block him I pin holes in [?] Pupils sweating, heavy satin packing luggage Posted Joe public in this private setting Letting it all get to me now It all fits in the saying Breath of fresh air is cooler now than the AM If I close down shop now I could've been space and time minus the old bloke in a lab coat In his bubble that's the companion The man that was the horizon to peep his light show, a siren Fly new rounds doing back flips through my synapses At this junction Veterans in the style of loud consumption Puffing, puffing you got the Faust? now Stopped in the crowd on rooftop when Tupac dropped Walking the line between Deepak and slutty money shots Commotion at this hour could be the slightest snap of an oak twig G-g-g-ghosts Channeling the John McClane Haley Jo sent (I see dead people) When the sun rise my walk in life might parallel hypnosis Against advice from tonight's attorney I take two more sips And try to gauge which danger unseen remains the closest Here lies yesterday, tomorrow and today Here lies the month, next year and years away Here lies our latest attempt at eternity before daybreak When too early coexists with too late (too late)
