oldHead

all my liepH iii been a ole head
so dead
so close to dead 
that evry time iii lay my head
iii turn the muthapHuckn ground into a death bed

so close to dead
that ev’ry time iii sea a mirror 
got a skull for a head
got a sickle for an arm 
-- kinda prosthetic is that?
so iii put the hoodie on 
just to walk in public
but now a ni66a Treyvon
--Eric Garn’
--Swear to gawd, yO!
the shoe really pHits..

so close 2D.ead
like L.A.zarus
b'fo he raised a pHist
out the eARTh surpHace
or like a pHit pacipHist 
wit a pHist in his chest
--no breast
jussa johnny cage chest
mad depressed
tell me: if he blew his last breath 
yO! did he blow it?

swear to god
all the cops
got me so distressed
got me thinking that iii need a vest
to slip out my address
got me scheming on a gun
to protect my neck
and iii was just a normal kid
tryna make it big.
but now they got me in a cell
pHeeling small as shiit.
–thought iii was off this shit!?
—ima artist bitch!
anime-ing ev'ry moment
to escape 'the pits'
–i–mage–in the Ritz
or Luffy wit the shits
and the penitentiary
wasn't on my bucket list
but they got me raising pHists
so iiim bout to pass this wrist
like a fuckin Panther pHist
to a pHake politishh
SharaPova servin it
and iiim
so.close.to.dead
iii-wish-iii-had-lost-my-head



it's like iii got this Ice
in my veins instead
of the blood currently
rushing to your head
and this current sea, around me
drowning out my regrets
damn, iii wonder what the AfterLife is
planning next...


so dead
that a brother barely here
like my body almost clear
so iii live without pHear

so dead
iiim pHloatin up in the air
but since time don't exist
iiima always be Here

it's like iiim BlessedCoastBrooklynBeastingg..
Y'all don't even know the meaning:
what else you gon be when u ain't eatingg
at the Table while the world is pHeastinn..?

nigga..!!
v2.
so close to dead
like a poster kid
on a milk carton
my mind so missing
—like a monk on a mission 
  meditating on a mountains
  stuck between two decisions
–dam, iiim spittin.

—So CLose to dead
kamikaze or a nazi instead
like dante 
pHLames around me 
phucked up in the head
like sysyphus
iiim rippin this
with MAss appeal
like d’angelo
my tide is Lowe
tell me how that pHeeL?

it's like iii lived this liepH befo'
but just like you
iii don't kno what's in store
so iiim livin every moment like a pHireworK
and when they look back on it
they kno
iii put in WORK!

break:
for what its worth:
im reppin blakKage to the dirt 
krystallizin energy from birth
indigo's manifest the earth.

reppin blakKage pHrom the birth
indigo's manifest your worth
krystallyzing energy pHrom earth
when you become a diamond
don't pHorget the dirt!

outro:
iii said iiim so close to dead
it’s like iiim up in heaven
carrying on and on..
with Juan the Don
ya tu Sabé ALL my brethren
plus they women ––
and they star children
Smilin'
again, 
again, 
cups overpHlowing
till this 9th cloud dissolves back into the ocean 


— a ni66a got 9 chahkras open
tell me, What exactly were you hopin' Sun?
don't make me hafta Benjamin the Button
—ya styles weak, holmie stop pHrontin'

—a ni66a got 9 chahkras open
tell me What exactly were you hopin' Sun?
don't make me AndreBenjamin the Button
—ya styles weak, holmie stop pHrontin'


so close to Dead
like a Rev sittin up
in his own Coffin,
while it's descending and
time ain't re-wind-ing

watch my soul ascend
and the light will bend
to mend all that was taken..

iii pray im pHorgiven

ever since a Kid
my mind been
old as shit
Sew, Cut with the cloth
of the King Ancients
ain’t no replacement.
