The Quiet Carriage
Am I asleep? I can't tell because this writing is unconscious
Quiet carriage train rides, jazz hop often
Oh shit, what's this? Stop it
My Go Card's tapped like my phone when I hop in
I'm digging in the crates on my D.I.T.C.
If you see me, g, please just leave me be
I'm trying to write about this life of mine
We'll see how much the shine shines when I see the life in life
Cause at the moment I think I'm just existing
Worrying about the fact I feel like I'm not living
Then worrying about the worry, rush around I'm in a hurry
Trying to see a little money, I declutter in a hurry
Clutter in my mind, I meditate for five minutes
Find all the healing frequencies, nah, I'm kidding
I take a breath and take a hit, roll back my shoulder blades
And try remember everything that I was ever told today
I draw a blank like what sterile guys shoot
Working like a damn detective when I'm trying to find who
Could be the key to my success, maybe I'm just seeing red
But to me I think I'm beating the past me
And that's the only thing I care about
Progress is the motto, see myself and then I stare him down
Walls I'm gonna tear them down, rules I'm gonna break them all
Chilling with the jazz hop, declining never taking calls
Doors closed, eyes wide, heart big
Looking straight down cause I ain't trying to start shit
Cup of coffee, headphones with the jazz hop
Keep on writing lyrics, watch them fade into the backdrop
Doors closed, eyes wide, heart big
Looking straight down cause I ain't trying to start shit
Cup of coffee, headphones with the jazz hop
I keep on writing lyrics, watch them fade into the backdrop
Hop trains, that's hip, get it? Hip hop
List what's on my mind, tell my notes why I'm pissed off
I get big props but only from my girlfriend
The person right beside me when the world ends
Tell friends that I'm fine cause the truth is I am
And the plan is to be better than fine, and get better at life
Go legendary status
I should let them have it but instead I'm going backwards
At least it feels that way, cause I can feel that pain
I go construction and I build today
Build music for your headphones, cars plus Bluetooth speakers
Anything proof, plus a few new heaters
For the times when it gets cold
Will I get old? No, never, go tenfold on my last ten digits
Might only be a hundred like I keep it still I'm in it till I win it
Doors closed, eyes wide, heart big
Looking straight down cause I ain't trying to start shit
Cup of coffee, headphones with the jazz hop
Keep on writing lyrics, watch them fade into the backdrop
Doors closed, eyes wide, heart big
Looking straight down cause I ain't trying to start shit
Cup of coffee, headphones with the jazz hop
Keep on writing lyrics, watch them fade into the backdrop
Doors closed, eyes wide, heart big
Start this new chapter lock-stepping and I'm marching
Barging through doors till I'm past this
Till the day I die, lines out like I'm casting
Take 'em all to church like Jay in the past did
With a mask in my pocket, yeah, I'm a bastard
I'm Illmatic, still at it like Nas is
With my doors closed, eyes wide, and my heart big
Quiet carriage train rides, jazz hop often
Oh shit, what's this? Stop it
My Go Card's tapped like my phone when I hop in
I'm digging in the crates on my D.I.T.C.
If you see me, g, please just leave me be
I'm trying to write about this life of mine
We'll see how much the shine shines when I see the life in life
