about
Baauer Remix. Flosstradamus. This song is all about the gritty feel and creative flow.
lyrics
I rip it up, tear it apart like I'm a tyrannosaurus
Rex and leave it bleeding, from the beat to the top of the chorus's neck.
The Taurus is next, I'm sifting through all the bull
And picking out what I choose, you see I'm choosing the pick.
I'm like a candle and wick, I'm burning slow with some sense,
I gotta handle the tricks, learning to flow in a trance.
Trying to grow and to dance, I got a mandible vandalizing my mind- it chews it up and throws it up on a fence.
Agh I gotta get back in the game, you know I said I'm reinstated but in this I've just been waiting for the rain to stop.
What's all that about, I'm not procrastinating but it's getting harder than a piece of steel that's stealing hatred.
Wasted at the bar I set too high, I'm flying like a boeing.
Going to the sky because all under that is boring
The ocean's deeper than I care to be,
So look at me, I'm taking samples and I'm feasting, see the best in life is free.
Chasing my liberty, like I'm a statue in the city.
Gotta cashew bit of wit, you see that's nuts I'm kinda witty.
In a jiffy I'll be back, did i say Jiffy? I'm getting dizzy.
So much volume in the air that's getting jaded and I'm misty.
Fated to be great, but now I'm fading in the grate like I'm a piece of cheddar cut up in your pasta, how's it taste?
I'm putting my whole soul into this tape, so listen well
Before I break I guess I'll smoke my words and see you in Hell.
[Mack verse]

I'm theReinstated cuz my rise is left belated, not related to greatness,
but it's a movement like earth's plate is,
I'm elated to be fated to make it, to the top I'm full.
The topic is not tropical, I like to try to stop the pull
of gravity, the haters grab at me, but I'll just make them see.
Being real is being me, and I'm just sailing in a sea of imagery, no sinning, sea?
I'm grinning, cheese! Not make believe.
Records with Mackenzie Keefe.
Nicer gifts than Christmas Eve. What a sweet relief it is to piece the peace together.
Weaving all my words, just so my heart can stay unsevered.
Life's lever lets me release a piece of my deep soul,
so I just take that piece of shoe apart and feed it to a foe.
A Whole Lot of Thinking's being done in my brain,
this music is my heroin, she's all up in my veins.
I can do it, I am Able. The haters are all Cain.
I'm spiderman with lyrical webs, music's my Mary Jane.
