(if u think being crazy is what made van gogh skilled just know that being crazy is what got that man killed if u think being crazy is what made van gogh skilled just know that being crazy is what got that man killed) yo yo since 5 i have tried to be great but i think that I thought too much and got a late start there's this rhetoric that's been around forever that I hate that you must suffer to make great art. I often wonder if there's any truth about it could I put this album out if I was grounded tho? I highly doubt it. but that's just one of my flaws but If i'm gone there's no art of mine at all. so if u think being crazy is what made van gogh skilled just know that being crazy is what got that man killed if u think being crazy is what made van gogh skilled just know that being crazy is what got that man killed i told em i told em doctor, doctor, nurse z has gotten worse this is not the first time nor is it the last so i ask, that you help me out it hurts I wanna feel the earth, I wanna feel my worth I suffer from the birth of Zachariah's curse. They felt I needed meds my stomach and my head was all I ever felt instead a sick twisted irony I felt the least alive but honestly I felt kinda free close to nothing at all I couldve free falled off the tallest building of all and felt the same way I felt when watching the sun set an inbetween of apathy, tired, and upset. so if u think being crazy is what made van gogh skilled just know that being crazy is what got that man killed if u think being crazy is what made van gogh skilled just know that being crazy is what got that man killed z: can I talk to em? z pain is your vehicle for greatness don't crash it your abstract, jazz rap, crap has made you batshit and that don't make you great matter facts for starters depression made making art a thousand times harder excessively obsessive no food or sleep until your snares are at perfection stop, get to eating sleep, get your dreams in mental illness is not synonymous with genius whether it's in your genes or whether you lost hope you don't get to choose what the world finds dope, so put it out as if a single soul deserves it you might find the imperfections make em think it's perfect if these walls could talk you would give em a fake laugh and claim that you do not have any baggage just know that what you make, only you can create I promise that you're anything but average <3

Sorry if you lost me My attention span has been killing them off softly Should I kill myself or should I have a cup of coffee? should I kill myself or should I have a cup of coffee? I'm so sorry if you lost me My attention span has been killing them off softly Should I kill myself or should I have a cup of coffee? should I kill myself or should I have a cup of coffee? please VERSE: Weigh your options, get the contents, you keep in stock then, sip the daily concoction Wake up weigh your options again find balance, the grounds to water ratio, weighing next to nothing body only full of toxins, , The starving artist isn’t pretty when you find him, I promise, he’s passive in passing, but to himself he’s painfully honest, and lately too nice, swallow pride like shoenice need a new prescription, my pupils moving I’m losing sight , self proclaiming doofus, they told me to keep it moving now I keep it moving, I’m moving I’m always pacing.. that ADHD diagnosis waiting I’m impatient I’m just another human remembering my placement …on this earth, tell em they should know they worth (how fucking hypocritical, how and in what universe, are you the center, you aint better, are you making cheddar?) no. only rap to mitigate imposter syn-drome. ((Chorus)) Sorry if you lost me My attention span has been killing them off softly Should I kill myself or should I have a cup of coffee should I kill myself or should I have a cup of coffee, I'm so sorry if you lost me My attention span has been killing them off softly Should I kill myself or should I have a cup of coffee should I kill myself or should I have a cup of coffee please ((VERSE 2)) .... Please hold my head when it's heavy, I told my Self that I'm ready, and in an effort to make me a comma, I make these songs that are too alarming for momma to listen to when I'm bothered What good is honesty then? If I'm Surrounded by friends, but feeling lonely don't end, is every Time that I smile another time I pretend? (I guess) I send regards if what I pen does offend, but if my pen is not a weapon, then swords will be swung instead… sippin it slow, then way too quick, I keep my head way too sick, another day wasted, and way too lit, need a vacation, my brain fried, but at the Same time, I need to make time, but I don't Have time so I waste more, Pace back and then pace forth (Pace back and then pace forth) ... and I'm still sorry if you lost me ... but my attention span has been fucking me up softly The pot is full, the Kettles black, back the fuck up off me End of day I'm pouring up the blackest cup of coffee (Bridge) Too much coffee in the pot, and Too much pot will keep me coughing (x4) (Final Verse/Outro) The doctor told me exercise my mind like my Noggin is joggin' Life's a slippery slope I'm just riding in Toboggans, If I go bananas I'm gon make it a Bonanza, if I'm on a downward spiral I might as well throw my hands up ... and what's a good ol manic phase without a crash reaction Acting like it's just a Saturday.. sit and wonder all my life, I wonder what it cost me Another constant, another vice...another cup of coffee please thank you.
