lyrics

Come and set me
These chains on me won't let me be
You got the keys, come rescue me
These chains on me won't let me be
You got the keys, come set me free
Come set me free, come set me free
You got the keys, come rescue me
Come set me free, come set me free
You got the keys, come rescue me

Hey, what up? That’s what the kids’ll say
When I grip the mic and let all the spittle spray
I’ve been at this for ages, I’ve come a little way
As I fist pump my way into my middle age

And I’ve uncovered some fallacies along the way
And I’ve encountered some challenges from every way
One thing I’ve learned from taking damages every day
Is at the very least, I am good at making lemonade

From these rotten lemons I am often given I am swimming
In a pond of venom with very some awful men and women
Trimming minutes off my life, I ain’t sinking, I am winning
I ain’t quitting, I am kicking, I won’t hit the bottom with them

I will stand very tall, living large, love it all
Holler back, do the job, MPFM, RoboRob
Throbbing like techno, sobbing? Aw, heck no
Roller skate, disco, let’s go, yo

I’ve been trip tripping how I’m slip slipping now I’m
Sick of it, a liberal fill of it, dip dipping out I’m
Gone, I was never here, smoke bomb disappear
Listen to invisible idiots, kick kicking out I’ve

Slipped cruxifixes into vampires’ hands when I’ve shaken them
Given truth to fixes when the liars act on erasing them
But now I’m isolated and
I can finally find some silence as an island of a man

I will go it solo, I will roll alone with no one, no and though
The road is cold and lonely, I will know I chose the only
One that I can trust, a just belief that I don’t stop believing
People leave you nothing needed, fuck them, brother, I don’t need them

Once in darkness, living in night
Though I still got a bark, it’s not as bad as my bite
And I still hate my enemies with all of my spite
I need youze, Mylene Cruz, to show me the light
Come on

Whoever says he’s in the light and hates his brother
Is still in darkness, still in darkness through the night
Above all we gotta love each other deeply
‘Cause love, love, love does the most to the city

My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise of you
When I can feel you inside
And I will ascend above the highest of the clouds
And make myself the most high

Hi, hi, whoa whoa, wait wait, what what happened?
I was just rapping, I was just having a good time
And then my shell started cracking
Everything started unraveling

Scramble to gather up the pieces of the mess of my life
That I made when they all got scattered
I lie and I cry and I just wanna die
But I know no way I ain’t letting that happen

Oh no everybody chill a second
I’ma get this trainwreck in check I reckon
I’ma go no more woe is me self-pity
I’ma get myself a little speck of perspective and check it

Both broken and broke but the fact
Is that I got a lot of people that have got my back
And I’m in good hands when my family, my friends and my fans
Come rescue me

Come set me free, come set me free
You got the keys, come rescue me
Come set me free, come set me free
(I will stand very tall, I won’t hit the bottom with them)
You got the keys, come rescue me
(I will stand very tall, I won’t hit the bottom with them)

And I will ascend above the highest of the clouds
And make myself, and make myself
Like the most high
