[Verse 1]
I been dazed in the constellations
I been waved in a place where the conscious vacant
Playin' with the eight ball, box the case in
I don't watch the faces, I just wait in patience
Funds low but the soul a statement
And a seed don't stay in the dirt, it's placed in
Six feet deep when he lay the cadence
Ain't been no changes, whip bangin' and the head top blazin'
Hop up on a melody and bleed from the heart
Yeah, the boy still strapped, got food for your thoughts
Don't make a brudda spray and make a compilation
I just box the bass in on some real work placement
Some niggas got time and it's all they facin'
Some bruddas lost faith and it's all they chasin'
Two-step with your ankles braced in
The chain ain't gold but the truth engraved in
[Chorus]
I been livin' off the fact that
I been killin' the melodies and flows
I been prone to the fact that
None of these bruddas have been seein'
I been livin' off the fact that, oh
None of these niggas have been woke, oh
I'm still livin' off the fact that the beat stay cold
Just livin' off the fact that
I been bouncin', oh
I been runnin' from the law
They been talkin' about you (Oh)
Man, I do it for my own
I'm astounded (Oh)
Shit's some remedy for the soul
Yeah, this life a fountain
When I'm down here, you find pounds here
You won't drown if the waves is cold
[Verse 2]
I ain't seen the sun for a minute
Been low, found comfort in bodyin' lyrics
Mind, body, soul, spirit in kitchen
Yeah, all of my bruddas been tippin' off dishes
If you bill it, shit will leave you swingin' in the Civic
By the trees, feelin' numb to the pain but I'm lifted
Pictures and memories, time by the fences
The eyes stay closed and the mind stay restless
Pull up for the days and the rare occasions
Can of K on a wave, that some escalation
Pour for the lost and the loves ones waitin'
I bounce for the niggas that didn't make the day's end
Drown for the pound, better count up the payments (Uh-huh)
Yeah, you better count up the payments
Lost in the dark tryin' to make another mark
Yeah, I speak for my brothers in the stars
Sometimes like funny, yeah
[Chorus]
I been livin' off the fact that
I been killin' the melodies and flows
I been prone to the fact that
None of these bruddas have been seein'
I been livin' off the fact that, oh
None of these niggas have been woke, oh
I'm still livin' off the fact that the beat stay cold
Just livin' off the fact that
I been bouncin', oh
I been runnin' from the law
They been talkin' about you (Oh)
Man, I do it for my own
I'm astounded (Oh)
Shit's some remedy for the soul
Yeah, this life a fountain
When I'm down here, you find pounds here
You won't drown if the waves is cold
[Bridge]
Still bangin', in the rain, still memory glancin'
Oh, lost niggas still dancin', nah, nah, nah
But it all makes sense in the madness
Still bangin', in the rain, still memory glancin'
Oh, lost niggas still dancin'
Comin' down, seein' blood up on the ground
No tears when it's out of sight, yeah
Out of mind
Ain't no sight seein' when you're blind
(No tears when it's—)
Out of cycle, out of mind
Ain't no sight seein' when you're blind
[Verse 3]
Long nights and short days
Time beneath the grey skies spillin' thoughts across the page
Feelin' it openly, spittin' in order to cope with ease
When you're broke and future's aren't just seen
It takes a minute despite my needs
I see the keys, entice my soul in doubtless sleek, the vision bigger
Road slimmer, closest niggas turn into distant figures
The breeze is unfamiliar, but know the coast is nearer
Silence the smoke and mirrors and show them there's somethin' realer
This that same elixir, numb the pain and flip the scriptures
Dazed in the sun's rays, the picture differs
But I'm still searchin' for the pinnacle of greatness
Same brothers but we in different places
And I'm still missin' faces
Still sayin' fuck a day shift
Just know that these the only words I'm graced with
I been waitin'
[Outro]
I've been on my lonesome down, on my lonesome down
For you, for you
I've been on my lonesome down, on my lonesome down
For you, for you
