Halve-Life

I was on the brink
Barely skating by
Soul was not in sync, wouldn't dare to make it right
Holding on to cycles I could not focus on design
With thoughts so hopeless on my mind my heart got broken over time
I guess I focused too much effort on some opening's that never come
I spit out oceans I don't want but
It takes two gross to buy my targets
Half of this, and half of that
I'mma blame in there, I'mma fight this back
All these arrows point to me
I'mma hang in there 'til the ice gets cracked
Look it's part-time like Moses
It's hard to battle psychosis
I know depth, I'm outta my oceans
I grow best at fighting my own sense
I pretend, I pretend
But my love has never been endless
Fuck this limits, I got limits
Who am I without my whole image
I don't know, but time won't tell, as I grow older I find more ills
But I feel closer to my whole self so
I'm less concerned if the rhymes don't sell
Look, its true
The looks don't matter into but I need some room, don't gaslight me
I don't want these patterns that loom
Just give me half and let me have my peace

Show me what you have, and I'll show you half that
Nothing notable, please don't pull my mask back
There always is a vast gap between my goals and facts, yeah
I'll fall before the last lap, going lalalalalalala

See, I'm the type to do a little and then think I did a lot
Moving halfway down the rainbow, though, won't let you get the pot
Yo, they say the world's a stage, and that the play obeys the clock
I can improvise my lines, s'long as I don't forget the plot
Or maybe fuck it
I should flip the script, and rip it up, forget this shit
But risking it is frightening, scared that I can't commit for shit
Daydreaming bout being a better person is a sedative
I'm at the point where anything but action is irrelevant
So fuck my rhetoric, that shit be never working inwards
I'll pretend I tried my best
I lie, but I remember all the energy
I put inside my fight before I mince words
So, if I can't reach the finish line, then why don't I surrender
Though, I doubt that I could do that right, too
I will reach a half point using half my IQ
What an asinine move
Half the man that I knew
Sipping from a cracked half empty glass that I use

Show me what you have, and I'll show you half that
Nothing notable, please don't pull my mask back
There always is a vast gap between my goals and facts, yeah
I'll fall before the last lap, going lalalalalalala

I squib kick my bad habits now they back and they better
Scribbled doodles on the quarterlies and act like they clever
I'm on my John Wayne pow-pow, the long-range pow-wow king
Everything I disavowed I'll sing
For you it's simple there's a plan
And there's a follow through the capture
Lost in translation had to follow through the captions
But we bonded through the rations felt like actual kings
This is more to me and you than just a tag we can ring
Up, what, upchuck PBJ with the crusts off
Trying to talk business who could say "what's an updawg?"
Hehehe, gottem
Scraping from the bottom
If the Suicide Squad would try to escape from out of Gotham
Who could stop them
A rich white dude, probably, huh
I bet the cabin I just might do molly, huh
Put my heart in it I bite through Kali-Ma
We on our own, shit we might as well own this spot

Show me what you have, and I'll show you half that
Nothing notable, please don't pull my mask back
There always is a vast gap between my goals and facts, yeah
I'll fall before the last lap, going lalalalalalala
