This song is also a product of writers block. I wrote this song around the same time as "Random Bars #1". Only recorded it today.

I am trying out some new mixing techniques I picked up at a recent trip to the studio. Still experimenting with different flows and styles. I really like flowing over these real acoustic/r&b jams... Heavy bass lines, poppin melodies... Really liked this instrumental.

Anyway! Hope you guys enjoy it!

Lyrics

Verse 1:
You ever been given such a heavy weight
you couldn't handle, and the bars they help it levitate?
You forget your thoughts, it's like you meditate
Then get lost inside the box you call your inner state?
Like you driving on an interstate
at night, no lights, as you try to eat a dinner plate
Then you hear a word, eliminate
And as you swerve to miss a curb, you're a minute late
And now you fly, it is your final motion
And then you die, you reach a sky, an ocean
But do not try to keep your mind, it's broken
Do not deny the sight of light unspoken
Cuz this is how it'll go down, so listen now
Cuz many drown in the transition from life to ground
So many clown, with no ambition to live profound
Escape the prison, submission is how you get the crown

Chorus x2:
Damn it, how we take this life for granted, man
Damn it, how we damaging the planet, man
Damn it, how we fight to become standard man
Damn it, now I write to raise the standards, man

Verse 2:
This dream of ours, oh, this dream of stars
A society of killers, thieves, and plenty frauds
And they look at me to play a part
But then I look to God, and pray my eyes don't stray too far
I don't play those games, fuck off, no quotation marks
Can't you see the lane I'm driving isn't made for cars
This is made for hearts, But hard with no place to park
So face to face we chase the dark as we blaze and spark
The weeds a place to start so I just toke till it's dust
It's a medicine, depression, I cope or erupt
This backwards attack of a plant so important to bust
If I attacked your backward ass, you'd resort to your cuffs

Chorus:
Damn it, how we take this life for granted, man
Damn it, how we damaging the planet, man
Damn it, how we fight to become standard man
Damn it, now I write to raise the standards, man
