I-5

9am, sunrise
Packed my bags 'bout to hit the I-5
What is life, sunset, stars shining bright
Top down reminiscing timeline
This shit do or die
Ain't 'bout suicide
I've seen that picture my entire life
Life is really fucking animated
Life is really what you want to make it

Undergrad I finally graduated
Journey through the west only way to conquer my demons
Like Cobain, Aberdeen I had to leave it
Music and stage only reason I'm still breathing
Momma I'm sorry for all the pain my name's bringing you
Identity crisis my main issue
Raised my younger brother a little too better
Gattaca in his shadows I'm living
Jealousy almost got the better
Understand it ain't easy running with these scissors
US got me feeling like Adelaide stumbling through
Mirrors staring at imperfections
Longing for better connections
I had to find myself Chasing Daisy, I'm still running
Being black in a white town, a white school
A white world, like being prisoner on Shutter Island
Identities overlapping while code switching
Malcolm, Martin, or Fairstein they forcing dreams on you

This the price I'm willing to pay
Seppuku my guts all over a beat
Spend 9 days and 9 nights hung from a tree
Sacrifice my life, wander and free
Clipped wings sore like I'm the breeze
That Little Borrower stumbling from Aberdeen
Soul city I fabricated but still I believe
The eternal wanderer yeah, wayward I be

9am, sunrise
Packed my bags 'bout to hit the I-5
What is life, sunset, stars shining bright
Top down reminiscing timeline
This shit do or die
Ain't 'bout suicide
I've seen that picture my entire life
Life is really fucking animated
Life is really what you want to make it

9am, sunrise
Packed my bags 'bout to hit the I-5
What is life, sunset, stars shining bright
Top down reminiscing timeline
This shit do or die
Ain't 'bout suicide
I've seen that picture my entire life
Life is really fucking animated
Life is really what you want to make it

This the price I'm willing to pay
Seppuku my guts all over a beat
Spend 9 days and 9 nights hung from a tree
Sacrifice my life, wander and free
Clipped wings sore like I'm the breeze
That Little Borrower stumbling from Aberdeen
Soul city I fabricated but still I believe
The eternal wanderer yeah, wayward I be
