competition scatters when my blunts get fatter
fuck yo' guns, i got punch, somehow these puns get static
i never hold it back like some loose chains, bruce wayne
cruisin' tryin not to lose it
who's playin? i do thangs,
go'n insane ain't no one to blame keep my finger on the flame
burn away the pain, truly you wouldn'ta guessed it
smile in the workplace, even on my worst days
keep it internal, soul inferno, tryna dodge a herse
feels like a curse, all my closest people in distress
but i don't let it get to me, even if i rest in peace
you feel my words? don't you feel it? don't conceal it
lemme hear it, say it with me, say it with me, go'n head, FUCK THE PAIN
we go'n stick together, i'll bet love trumps any weather
you are loved, you are special, keep a safety pin for freedom
they go'n try to tear you down, use that memorized rhetoric
but don't let it stick, my brotha...
champagne veins... and I'm 'bout to kill 'em all
yea, all the lies and the hate (x4)
Congratulations to the vultures of our culture
Limitless to point a finger like you really know me homie
Low-key I’m quite lonely, but on the mic I don’t freeze
The contraband you see becomes the knowledge that I breathe
Tricky sleeves on the deed, please watch ya feet
Golden nugget I don’t trust it, if I’m breathin’ then it's somethin'
half black and half white, searching for my identity
I'll fight for my people regardless of what's ahead of me
blame my tendency for being sensitive to hate
or better yet you feel my pain and can truly relate
this is real, hate accepted as a norm, what's in store
Dear Lord, i don't even wanna think about it no more
Save my soul, still believe regardless of how this unfolds
observe and listen but please, don't be scared of the image
Y'all waiting on a check while i'm just waiting for respect
try to knock you down, take your crown, my sista...
champagne veins... and I'm 'bout to kill 'em all
yea, all the lies and the hate (x4)
we go'n spread looooooove, instead'a hate
we go'n spread love...

Cadet for the spacey races
Calm, cool and collectin’ aces
Lose my cool on a daily basis
But I guess I’m uncool if I choose to say it?
That’s a contradiction yet they choose not to listen
Fuck a pot to piss in, still Deposit wisdom
I put it down for the zoo, yo I put it down for YOU
Show the crowd how I do, ain’t nothing new
Mixed complexion but my goal’s direct
Educate ya mind and invest time in knowledge
Ignorance is bliss until it turns into violence
If you choose to ignore it, you’re still part of the problem
I’m talking racism, hatred, displacement
Anger and jealousy, we all partake heavily
Awareness is Krucial, shoutout my man Boogie
Spreadin’ love more than ever, that’s my only endeavor
Let it rain, let it pour
feel you can’t take no more
Tryna find faith in the worst of it all
I’m a Petal pusha, see beauty in the fall
Outta breath but I’m feelin’ alive!
Connected with the sky
You can see it in the trees
You can see it in me
It took weeks for me to write this shit
Couple verses, dope hook got me hyped and shit
Been feelin’ hella down, need enlightenment
Triple perk got my words in a parallel universe
I’ve been drifting afar, thoughts bizarre into space
I’ve been in my car smoking weed to escape
I’ve been in my bed playing dead see the gate
I’ve been in my mind trading lies for the truth
I’ve been in my zone barely feeling at all
Either that or my feelings twisted up in a ball
Prayers from my parents keep my sanity apparent
Take my empathy as fake or a vanity for caring
if you quick to judge, then you quick to budge
And if you quick to budge, you ain’t fit to say anything
My loyalty select and I can promise you respect
I’ve seen the beauty of this world in the sunset,
ain’t done yet
You see the road I’ve been on
Beauty in the hurt, seen beauty in the blood
My soul far from clean and there’s stains on the rug
Keep dank in the blunt, not a trace in the dust
Leave no basis to front, yeah my pace with the trees and my hands on my knees
But my prayers for the people, we need it
now more than ever, more than ever, more than ever…

stand back, i'ma fully loaded introvert baloon
Latest witness of the gimics, de-fy limits on the moon
I was born to send a message and my weapon is the truth
Nobody saw me as a rebel, now they pedaling for clues
Now's who's who? you see a peasant, i see penance
my time is invested in tryna stop the misdirection
Feels like i'm always second, I've been stressin' for a second
'lotta prepping, only goal is get to heaven
you a witness, got a question
Why why do you tempt with the hate, contemplate how i keep my head straight
mind spinnin' like a weaver on the tapestry, what's sanity?
write it down, write it down, get the pain all out, get it all out
I ain't never, I ain't never felt this way before
somehow we turn 'round and bet it all on the better days
i'm praying for the little voices, we can make a choice
stand together 'gainst the hate, or be a victim of the noise
I can't take it no more, no more
need a new vice, something for the soul
got me so high, thought i flew twice
often times feel i can't feel...dear lord
I can't take it no more..
Programmer got me hooked to the beat like an IV
Odds are suprising in our world of concocting
I've been missing music like hands with no gloves
and my brain missing peace like our nation and stuff
i'm losing patience and uh, where's the place to restart?
scared of what we're facing, see my face in the dark
steady pacing some sparks, prayin they don't catch me slippin
last year i pushed the limit on the times that i've been trippin'
i ain't lyin, i've been tryin' to reach Zion for a minute
honest, lucy added colors but the caps truely did it
like my mind saw the future and my meaning in this world
felt connected with a peace, while at peace with my girl
still i'm nervous to return cuz i'm aware of addiction
wanna understand but what's the cost of the mission
wander cuz i'm lost when i finally found truth
Witness of the world got me praying for the youth cuz...

I guess I’m cool with being Kabare
I guess I’m cool with writing raps
I guess I’m cool with being mixed, nobody understood it
I guess I’m cool
I guess I’m cool with being half white
I guess I’m cool with being half black
I guess I’m cool that how you see me predetermines how I should act
I guess I’m cool
i guess i'm cool
nah, nah
Consciously awake, convinced it’s all a con
Cycles of insanity, the miles pile on
Self-trained in avoidance, emotionally rationed
How can I be her whole if myself is a fraction?
Yo It’s simple when you ask it, but the answer, not really
That’s a metaphor to life, could never brand me a type
Too many echoes getting hype, y’all the same mufukas
I’ve been cruising in my lane, heavy lyrics bring the ruckus
I be Poppin’ outta ovens, man the heat will break the needle
I’m woke, stoned poet, dopest shit steady flowin’
Zonin’ like the wine killin’ time no bloody watches
Red-stained microphone, swear I was being cautious
Nobody watches, this was all foreshadowed in the intro
Nice dude but on the beat I’m detrimental
Destined for the mental, nervous grip up on my pencil
Impatient with myself, addictive tendencies tend to breed
Anxious yet I’m confident, mixed up like my complexion
Fear be eying me like that Geico commercial
Verbal inferno, spit to spite goin’ commerical
Y-Y-You never heard of this
Detectives asking bout the murder vics, slick

Dakia Loveeeee
I need that strength from aboveeeee
The world ain't even what i thought it was
most of my dreams now turned to dust
thought love was all i need but that's not enough
it seems all Mama wanted was to live for us
tears in my eyes nearly every single night
tryna push through the pain with all types of drugs
that ain't right ya know? Maman told me so
prolly praying for me now, hope I make it out
how you feelin Patric? things getting better, is it working out? Are you happy now?
Wowwww it's like i'm used to lyin, except for the times when they find me out
except for times when they chop me down, and deny the fact that she deserves a crown
Hand of fate, no mask on my face, stay high like my feet will never touch the ground
pretending my reality is opposite of tragedy...that's mad you see....
attaining new relief, hide grief, burnin' magic leaves...is that a fallacy?
They say learn to deal with death like it had to be, please
When i pray i see your smile, even angels have to leave
make that pain go away, yeah that's good grief
let me live another day, screaming good grief
wonder if i wanna live another day, good grief
but i gotta make ya proud even through the good grief
Nothing is the same when i'm at the house
thinking of your voice but it's not around
Scared of the fact that i'm losing ground
tryna find an answer to the question "How?"
Dakia Love can you help me out? don't wanna drown in this sea of sadness
see the madness has many latches... pray n' practice, wanna free this captive
can't kill my demons so I learned to cope, being alive is a sign for hope
swear the edge got me kinda close, 'lotta grief to swallow - tryin not to choke
AYE...i'm done with tryin', i'ma do thangs, ain't gotta speak, let the truth sing
bringing back old school like a new thang, I'm chillin in a chamber like Wu-Tang,
Thinkin'-of-what-you'd-say screaming Good grief... why the pain ALWAYS follow me?
Your picture on my desk so i never forget, Dakia Love, hope you proud of me
seeing my actions made it all revealing
want the world but i keep hittin' ceilings
maybe I'm afraid of what the future holds?
maybe trapped by the grief and lack the skills to cope?

I've been drifting
feeling lost
missing music
missing myself
feel it
It's not often that I think of crosses and faith
as of late, i really notice when things start to change, every day
accelerated thoughts never seem to hit the brakes, why?
kinda scary to witness your old self when it fades, wanna escape, wait
beauty and pain, i see it all in the sun rays
some days, we struggle to truly burst out of the bubble
i won't lie, circumstances aside i don't try
as hard as i want to, and fuck the pills they prescribe
hard to admit it cuz you.. value ya image
the root of the problem lies deeply inside
within the blink of an eye, your dreams can pass by
you can bet my demise, it only fuels the fire
got my eyes on the prize, couldn't match my desire
couple hits of the lime while i'm crafting these rhymes
master design, lyrical mastermind
tryna inspire a change within the message conveyed
it's hard to say, if i'm in it to win it or simply surviving the day
exhausted reality, yo the truth is my shield
when you truly aware, man all the shit is revealed
all the shit is revealed, it's too real

welcome to my mind... zone out in due time
zone out in due time
Mosaic filled with metaphors, open questions instead'a doors
I barely wanna listen to the news anymore
can't afford goin' commercial, you think that's the winner's circle?
make the same shit, over and over, goin' in circles
As of late, my life revolves around good people and purple
sadly both in lower numbers, still got lightning, keep the thunder
barely talking but i listen, observe and take notice
swear my mind is hella focused, all i'm seeing is hopeless
take notes and no shit, at least i know shit
Kabare is po-tent, brain like a shield from the Romans
keep many papers like a folder, rap intellect soldier
heavy shoulders from two clashing cultures, mixed; no culture dish,
lyrical bond - been known to alter shit
divine mind like how an altar is, you doubtin' cuz i'm callin' it
Fallin' hard for solace, hoping all of this is worth it
Success be the foolish man's dice, yoo think twice!

i've been traveling my own
tryna find my home, maybe just a zone
Ain't no tellin where i roam
fight these demons in the cold
I've been tryna find my way at Godspeed
i still think about you daily
and every blessing that you gave me
and everything that you made me
now you're gone, i'm not the same me
i'm happy that you're pain free
share your prayers with the angels
i still wish i'll see you maybe
cuz i'm really scared of seeing hell....scared of, scared of seeing hell
i'm on the run, vagabond emotions with the potions
the pain is ever potent but my caution stay on notice
Maman you see me hoping, praying, grasping to these notions
Wish my actions make you proud, I can really see you now
i've been traveling my own
tryna find my home, maybe just a zone
Ain't no tellin where i roam
fight these demons in the cold
I've been tryna find my way at Godspeed
(I've been tryna find my way
I've been tryna find my way at Godspeed
I've been tryna find my way
I've been tryna find my way at Godspeed) 2x
i still think about you daily
and every blessing that you gave me
and everything that you made me
now you're gone, i'm not the same me
i know God would never break me
or send us pain we couldn't handle
I still wish I'll see you maybe
cuz i'm really scared of seeing hell....scared of, scared of seeing hell
I'm feelin' numb, feeling dumb for needing some relief
through the grief I found light, getting hard to keep it bright
I keep picturing your voice in my head when i'm alone
Wish my actions make you proud, I can really see you now
i've been traveling my own
tryna find my home, maybe just a zone
Ain't no tellin where i roam
fight these demons in the cold
I've been tryna find my way at Godspeed
