Hook
They call me Bob
With the bob
The game then got giddy
Can’t fit his mane
In a fifty nine fifty
Verse 1
36 feeling
Every bit of this shit
Every morning
Yawning
Get a hint of this shit
Staring at my chil’ren
“Will you look at this shit?”
They like
“Daddy shut the fuck up,
We ain’t feelin this shit!”
Stay at home poppa
Taught my kids to talk proper
Not a shoe and socker
I’m a thong flip flopper
Sweats and tees
Are my favorite things
Learn new things
From YouTube university
Not a fentanyl sentinel
Rather delectable edibles
To get me through
With the occasional
Pitcher of witches brew
Make sure my kiddies
Get to school
Though the shits
An institute
Give Em freedom
So they get to do
Whatever it is
They pick and choose
(Inaudible)
Hook
They call me Bob
With the bob
The game then got giddy
Can’t fit his mane
In a fifty nine fifty
Bob with the bob
The game then got giddy
Can’t fit his mane
In a fifty nine fifty
Verse 2
Game set match
Last move and it’s time
Throwing signs up
You’d betta move it when I’m up
I’m too much
Maybe I’ll retire out early
This ain’t ya night…
You should’ve retired your jersey
Outta here early
Fly pelican fly before I
Expose ya to the masses
Unbuttoning your fly
How fucked am I
A lot or a little
You are not on my level
This ain’t the pot or the kettle
Dog I am outta my kennel
Y’all are high on fentanyl
Leaning at every interval
I’m moving like inner tubes
Round the merry go
This just an interlude
This naked, this in the nude
Stripped of its minerals

Little White Lies

Verse 1
You came into my life
Like an epiphany/
Vision was clear
And still couldn’t see/
Why instead of someone else
She chose me/
Now I’m her religion
Washing, chopping collards
In the kitchen with her/
Luck being the symbolism
But something was different with her/
Prior to us engaging she was amazing
In her own right/
I had reserves as I struggled with my own vice/Gut never wrong
Should’ve took my own advice/
And left her alone
Now I’m satisfying the ticket price/
Hit the lights
I’d rather bask in the darkness/
And jump out the window
Head first like Clark Kent/
Gobbled it up fresh fish in a shark net
Destroy and rebuild
With an absent minded architect/
Hard to set expectations
When foundations ain’t stable/
She prepared the plate but
I ain’t even pick up the table/
Ready and able but willing
Was the missing link/
No we broken like thrown dishes
In the kitchen sink/
Hook
Can’t believe that I tried
Living with a white lie
Told myself that I’d die
With that little white lie
I’m a fool…
Can’t believe I thought that it was cool
Doing what I normally wouldn’t do
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool
Told her go….
See yourself right out the fuckin door
I don’t wanna be with you no more x2
But I lied
Verse 2
Pick ya self up what if
This numbing was in your own head
Maybe you need time to yourself
Or rest in your own bed
Look back on your notes
And then maybe reference your own self
Wipe your teary eyes why you crying?
Thought you was grown Craig?
Enough of this messiness
You’ve been counting blessings less
All the while you stressing more
Struggling with the emptiness
She left…
You in the cold with an open coat
Shoulder froze single pose
Scratchy throat and a snotty nose
You still winning you built different
Single means whole
Here’s a shovel, use your muscle
Dig ya self out that hole
Oh no

Hook
As a father asked my daughter
Am I raising her good/
She said dad for all I know
You do the best that you could/
And that hit me
And that hit me
Me and her mama had went thru it
Thought I’d lose em for good/
Made an effort to do better
Did the best that I could/
Verse 1
Home schooled ‘fore she go to school/
Fuck what a teacher say
It’s a jungle out everyday
No O-wim-o-weh
Tryna make her see a way
Knowing I can’t be the way/
While tryna lead the way
Then depression enters the fray
Got a lot up on my tray
But that’s everyone today
Ever wanna run away?
But somehow you can’t escape
All cards on the table
What card’ll beat the ace?
Property defacement
Cracks all in the pavement
Can’t believe I stay here
Or thought to raise a kid here
Sentiment is sincere
Since there
Ain’t no better way
I’ll try again next year

Verse 2
Try to leave em
with steps to success/
When all my daddy
left me was debt/
I’ll never forget
Also never regret
The man it made me into
Since I severed from placenta
Into this world I entered
Altered soon as I hit the
Nitrogen oxygen
Water vapor and gases
Came out with shit on my mind
Rather gaseous
Asking forgiveness
After taking advantages
And my chances spewing
My art over this canvas
Cramp in a tiny campus
Dormitory
This my oratory
In all it’s glory
Normal prayer ain’t normal to me
is sorta boring to me
I rather speak things to existence
Through teaching my kids this
Words of wisdom
All the while living fearless
Some call it care less
Could care less what they think of me
Used to want em to love me
But ugly gonna be ugly
And that’s to the bone
Just wanna be left alone
With my priorities
Inaudibly screaming at the top of my lungs
Til there’s no more in me

What if you’re inside a dream
Everything ain’t even what it seem
Right now
Right now
What if you’re inside a dream
Everything ain’t even what it seem
Right now
Right now
Verse 1
What do you know about you?
Do you even know you?
What is your real life
Aside from what someone told you
Is it in the pictures they show you
Leery of what is actually
Takin place…
What’s going on exactly
Matter of factly
Your minds matter factoring
In the fact that you can’t be
In two places at once
But that’s false
The inner you
Is telling the outer you
What to see, what to do, how to move
Essentially how to..you
Verse 2
That time between
Ain’t what you think
At all
In a parallel existence
You fall
Maybe that’s you going deeper
Into the void…
A void you can’t avoid
Hook
What if you’re inside a dream
Everything ain’t even what it seem
Right now
Right now
What if you’re inside a dream
Everything ain’t even what it seem
Right now
Right now
