Back Nine 02:59
[Verse 1] Back nine proper Still got more surface to cover like Rich Sherman in deep thirds The worlds a large operation I’m an emerging surgeon What I predict is my light is something to paste in Squeeze the riches from my lemonade Billie sing the lullaby Yeah, it’s a holiday A day above the soil, wealth Grow a stem we getting paid (yeah) More life More pain More lines More shade and grow I escalade above the sky I slide a 5 for gas we past disguise I write my life, my greatest prize But since Aich been the man shit I hate the rise [Hook] Something gotta change Something gotta change some way somehow Some way somehow Something gotta change Something gotta change some way somehow Some way somehow [Verse 2] I ain’t a killer but, don’t test my suburban You drive some pistons towards Benny I’ll go for certain I wonder if we born pure or mature as we living I wild out on my best days I learn it from something I fell victim to the backseat cages My wrist constricted still scribble these journal pages As a star I see red and blue lights Fireworks glow up the night It changes when the strobes become your moment of patience You heart stops and this life goes Tend to see how friends become your Alpos Jealousy and envy lurking outdoors Lack of authenticity that going out shows I’m still showing out Smiles round the clock all 12 hoe Middle finger up fuck 12 hoe At 12, rocking shelltoes Fire round my gifts Shit, I’m Elmo I never take a lose that's an elbow I fight back my lessons more than well known (Lessons on Lessons) Hold up man I’m gifted Series of unfortunate moments I wrote a Snicket, a record Twist it This for those that listen don’t ever miss it This penship mean so much to me this shit forever Christmas [Hook] Something gotta change Something gotta change some way somehow Some way somehow Something gotta change Something gotta change some way somehow Some way somehow

Castle 04:05
[Verse 1] Climb the precipice Most can’t mess with this Til I have my castle on the water trudge through muddy waters They lack passion I can’t pass the ball My aggression passive but I play pass or fall Can’t go back to crawl Gotta weed out the garden They gon grow back regardless If they pesticide I won’t stress cause I know what's best and I’m sorry Took these chances dropped all the chips on me if I happens it's meant to be That's how I live How I be I bet on me You better believe and bet I see pass the antics I was frantic stressed out they won’t see my worth Now my work got em dancing Milly rock with they friends And shows packed out On stage I blackout, remove myself I’m still bashful Got these blessings on a lasso Moat circled round the castle [Prehook] Moat circled round the castle (Moat circled round the) Moat circled round the castle (Moat circled round the) Moat circled round the castle (Moat circled round the) Moat circled round the castle (Moat circled round the) Moat circled round the castle [Hook] They wanna see me I don’t wanna be seen I’m remote Chillin in my castle Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like) Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like) Hide behind my moat like I’m Remote Chillin in my castle Hide behind my moat like They wanna see me I don’t wanna be seen I’m remote Chillin in my castle Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like) Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like) Hide behind my moat like I’m Remote Chillin in my castle Hide behind my moat like [Verse 2] I self-depricate I don’t take my own advice I self-destruct a lot, but I smile a lot just to build it up I got the midas touch, but I broke down on the 315 Puked my night on the side of the road, but didn’t drink and drive Wanted to sink and fly, on my knees and cried like It’s hard to write as the favorite I’ve been underpaid but I 619’d my way up off the pavement You can’t count me out I’m so hard to doubt My whole run been amazing She said “you online is watching overtime” and her favorite team playing My last record gave her shade and I look happy, how I manage “How you 24 and so carefree With congress fucking us” Icloud storage got black kid murders on HD cameras It's like we carrying all this baggage and I need luggage and I’m desensitized I can’t travel cause I run point and like every sentence I write a friendship dies And a friendship dies And a friendship dies And a friendship dies As I grown inside A wall builds outside of mine I’m desensitized I want to survive [Hook] They wanna see me I don’t wanna be seen I’m remote Chillin in my castle Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like) Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like) Hide behind my moat like I’m Remote Chillin in my castle Hide behind my moat like They wanna see me I don’t wanna be seen I’m remote Chillin in my castle Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like) Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like) Hide behind my moat like I’m Remote Chillin in my castle Hide behind my moat like
