Struggle never letting up but now we stepping up
Because it’s time to level up World leaders keep messing up
But never fussing up, that’s why we came to bless it up
And speak truth to power got the drive and i back it up
No better time than the present to keep it real
When human rights getting repealed for a business deal
But the rich won’t serve time for there crime
That’s why I gotta rhyme send chills through your spine
While they distract from the story and destroy the source
With scarier wars and rappers we’re justing burying more
From the drugs and the guns but back when it was one
It was love it was fun so what you doing it for?
Uniting your community or read another eulogy?
Tell me why we got to be living so brutally?
Hitting the bottom and getting up stepping up to a new test and becoming a messenger
All for the pleasure Im spitting it better no we not letting up in it forever

Sharks and whales swallowing the small fish
They all get caught up in the net no matter where they swim
In these waters don't get jipped, you gotta be coming well equipped
Floated to the bottom, getting sick and jumping ship
Became that man, washed up on the land, laid to dry
Cast away like why try? Out here ain't no wifi
How will you be noticed on an island that's surrounded by the ocean
That's the show biz, in this music maintain your focus
Like finding Nemo, got a team beside me yo
I keeps it deep like ocean floor pressure though
Giving rhyming sharp tuning cuz I'm Whalan, harpoonin'
Mesmerized by these mermaids, dancing and they moving
Pirate ship won't swerve cuz I'm far ahead of the curve
Riding this wave I surf, while thunder and lightning burst
Watch the tide wash away, in these waters I'm immersed
And if you're setting sails, choose your destination first
Lost at sea, lost at sea
Lost at sea, so come get lost with me
Music is my seven seas, snorkel through these corral reefs
Feel like this the ocean breeze, swim in roads and lonely streets
And plastic garbage patches in dolphin migration patterns
Humans on the land acting like none of it matters
Just like hip-hop been polluted with a lot of fake rappers
Who live to dive and swim straight to the mouth of their disaster
These some minos riding limos with tinted windows
Jaws homie, don't want to get close, but get close
Flipping fins while you swim away, breath strokes
No stress, you're number one like a road hugging the west coast
Let's toast, under water where we wander
I see that hook and bait with them tricks, don't even bother
Schooling fish in this campus, word to Atlantis
Coming with the fresh catch and bring it back to where the land is
But in these deep seas, we all must take our chances
Who's that mermaid following me as she dances?
Lost at sea, lost at sea,
Lost at sea, so come get lost with me

Go away, no come back though
Ever since you left, I'm feeling mad low
Am I really? So silly, I don't know
Change your mind so fast, as if this whole love boat
Was ever gonna last, in the end just laugh
Put down this baggage that we have living in the past let it pass
I'm lovin' how you're looking, but I'm so full of bash
So bashful - hat's low, glass is full, giving me a pull into your space
My face comes alive and I'm like, that's cool
Sit on the bar stool, end of the night can car pool
Play a game of pool, jump into pools and break all the rules
I'm not from Rome but I'm feeling mantic, roaming past where you're standing
Type everybody's hitting on, at the bar and the DJ starts playing some catchy song
Bae bae, looking for a bae bae
Looking for bae bae, looking for a bae bae bae bae bae
Bae bae, looking for a bae bae
Looking for bae bae, looking for a bae bae bae bae bae
What you think? Should I buy you a drink?
I'm glad I caught you in the eye of a blink
They said it's so hard to be a rapper
It's hard to be whatever it is, it doesn't even matter
Easy to be an actor like most of these other dudes are
But I don't give a fuck about rims on a car, streets
Made of tar, I just want to explore who you are
No doubt, inside out, we could get cozy and hide out
Till we get dried out, like the water table in
California, we're all searching for euphoria
You're a beautiful warrior, woman
The morning, you're singing and your humming
As we connect I feel your drumming
It's something worthy of respect, super pretty and you're blessed
Got it going on, the bars closing their playing another pop song
So here's another pop song
Bae bae, looking for a bae bae
Looking for bae bae, looking for a bae bae bae bae bae
Bae bae, looking for a bae bae
Looking for bae bae, looking for a bae bae bae bae bae
Bae bae, looking for a bae bae
Looking for bae bae, looking for a bae bae bae bae bae
Bae bae, looking for a bae bae
Looking for bae bae, looking for a bae bae bae bae bae

We are all simply insane
What will it take us to change?
Buckets of rain
Flooded and fuckin' afraid
Why are we stuck in our ways?
Counting the days
No one to blame but yourself
But you still blame someone else
Heat up and melt
All of these motherfuckers can't be justified
They will be left to defend for themselves
We are all simply insane
What will it take us to change?
Buckets of rain
Flooded and fuckin' afraid
Why are we stuck in our ways?
Counting the days
No one to blame but yourself
But you still blame someone else
Heat up and melt
All of these motherfuckers can't be justified
They will be left to defend for themselves
Cut the trees, we just can't receive blessings
Few degrees, I know it ain't me directly
Killed the bees, that's not what we were expected
On your knees, I think that you need correcting
Feel the breeze, windows open while you're texting
Shopping sprees, hashtag at sign while you're spending
Eulogies, morning paper sour coffee
Life's a tease, that's just what the system taught me
We are all simply insane
What will it take us to change?
Buckets of rain
Flooded and fuckin' afraid
Why are we stuck in our ways?
Counting the days
No one to blame but yourself
But you still blame someone else
Heat up and melt
All of these motherfuckers can't be justified
They will be left to defend for themselves
We are all simply insane
What will it take us to change?
Buckets of rain
Flooded and fuckin' afraid
Why are we stuck in our ways?
Counting the days
No one to blame but yourself
But you still blame someone else
Heat up and melt
All of these motherfuckers can't be justified
They will be left to defend for themselves
