Strolling (With the Sound Off)

I'm strolling with the sound off cuz it hurts to hurt
I'm sure that there's no meaning to this life but I'll search for worth
Only time I ever get out rapped is my second verse vs my first
In this life you Blow up like Nirvana or you burst like Kurt
Never been one for the commotion
train flows like locomotives floating in the ocean
My brain is so potent, get down everything I've spoken
I'm a black man winning nothing bout is a token
Still I'm counting all my blessings the number's getting mad
I'm counting all my chickens they all just seemed to hatch
I'm counting on my friends they're turning into fam
And I'm counting all the tunes Ive got and they're all gonna bang
Hundred slaps to hater
No time I'll see you later
Devil's horn is my pen heaven's gate is my paper
I'm greater than all my losses I prevail on top
I said heaven's gate because you'll hail this bop
Okay I'm shooting for stars sometimes I miss
Pictures in my poetry, I'm Spitting my bars in hieroglyph
Riding the wave like pirate ships
There's a stairway to success and I'm climbing it or flying quick
A lot of man will say that their your brother but they're Ryan giggs

I'm strolling with the sound off, that's how it's meant to be
Just me myself and music the perfect therapy
Infatuated with everything that is heavenly
Will i be here in a century?
Strolling with the sound off, that's how it's meant to be
Just me myself and music the perfect therapy
Infatuated with everything that is heavenly
Will i be here in a century?

strolling I'm feeling the motions
Patrolling my different emotions
Fixing myself as I go cuz I know that truth is we're all a bit broken
Hope to blow: mentos and coke
Just so you know: never lose hope
Losses are lessons: they're helping me grow
Bopping your head a delicate flow and you know that
I could rap a whole track with no beat, I'm that bold
My punchlines have kickback, I'm that cold
Call my Right hook Kenan, my left jab Kel, they'll leave you feelinga funny, I'm that old
I got backbone
I got mad flow
With fresh fit and a afro
I'm chilling with animals
Right next to the bear's den like Glasgow woah
Couple stomach shots and I would wind like saxophone
Came to shake the party up like Banquo's ghost
Kick in the door blaring 4:44 all you heard was: Kiran don't gas me no more
Kick in the door blaring 4:44 all you heard was: Kiran don't gas me no more

I'm strolling with the sound off, that's how it's meant to be
Just me myself and music the perfect therapy
Infatuated with everything that is heavenly
Will i be here in a century?
I'm strolling with the sound off, that's how it's meant to be
Just me myself and music the perfect therapy
Infatuated with everything that is heavenly
Will i be here in a century?

Be here in a century?
Will they mention me?
Do i have the energy to be more than a memory?
Is that all we'll ever be?
Will my pen pay my pension if I'm patient with my pen? I'm thinking pensively
What to we think on the penultimate breath?
Have we really met the cousin of death?
Are we really met with Colourful steps?
And touchable depths?
And something that's next?
And is there a "rest"?
A brink with an edge?
Thinking ahead...
Am I better off dead?

Im strolling with the sound off
You see when you're at your lowest, every days the same: ground hog
I used to be the shyest kid in kid in school
Abiding by the rules
And admiring the cool
Kids
0 social skills in my tool kit
Feeling foolish
Asking myself Howd you do this?
Found a passion for acting and pursued it
Had bare things coming, never new this
When I performed... It felt like I could sort of fly
Felt like there was more to life than being such an awkward guy
But
They'd Call me white all the time
And when you're not white, that hoardes your mind like the Northern line
Im strolling with the sound off
You see when you're at your lowest, every days the same: ground hog
Am I a stereotype for rapping how the stereo likes?
blow to his nose like he's sniffing a line
Does that feed in to my internalized gender divide
Like naming my fists, I've never been in a fight
I like my feminine side
But if you're feminine with melanin
You face a lot of prejudice
It messes with your head a bit
They hated who I was till I was numb to it like sedatives
Tell me who that benefits at the end of it
Im strolling with the sound off
You see when you're at your lowest, every days the same: ground hog
It may have taken a while but now I say screw this
Unapologetically me, that's how I do this
My Right hook's called Boris, left jab: Priti Patel, cuz under pressure they're both useless
Punchlines and similes
I sometimes say stuff because it's just fire, not because it always has to fit to me
Do I need believability, or can you just believe in my ability?
I really need to know, it's killing me
Truss me I'll admit a lot
I can be a little soft
I said I talk to animals is something I do little of
Don't even believe in God
So my infatuations
Are just fabrications
Of my deep imagination
From now on, all my past mistakes I'm mending
Good vibes is all I'm sending
Helping hands is all I'm lending
I'm a Little bit extra like a feminine ending
Never pretending
Bending rules
Dropping jewels
It's a cruel blue world without Mac Miller
Planet earth without his magic word's
Brings more hurt with every verse
Words of wisdom if your hurt
Afflictions don't define your worth
It's okay to cry don't disguise you'll make it worse
The more I think... The less I think we'll have a future tense
As time goes by we'll watch the skyfall, that's word to judi dench
The problems in this world will accumulate like student debt
And we'll go out together like it's Romeo and j-
When I'm this hungry I could rap forever whacking on some Tuscan leather
Hope that my endeavors can shine through despite the weather
Whether or not I make it I just hope that it's inspiring
Walking with my music in describing what I think
I call it

Strolling with the sound off that's how it's meant to be
Just me myself and music the perfect therapy
Infatuated with everything that's ahead of me
Will you meet me in oblivion?

Oblivion
