Ripe Like the Present

Lyrics

[Intro: Colonel Campbell] In the current digitized world, trivial information is accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness [Verse 1: Hayatheus] I've been the sole person in the room with an inkling of A different perspective I've been the soil left inside, I've been the coil gift to god Buying hands that feed me with no protection A parent needing, heart and mind keening For just a part of life's meaning, hard to find peace when Darker nights keeping me from lighter mindsets Part of my chest beats for myself Part of my keyless chest with no will Sardonic self-defeat is kind of self-pelf skinning Sell myself low, no winning Killing cold feelings to selfish hit ceilings Turns out the best pillow old, sleep till over Lying head to toe, stand upright and thinking sober Shit! [Verse 2: Hayatheus] I could live a life like you I could choose not to, not out of spite but desire For a better kind of resolve to fire my belly, die I need to feel it Gotta get my homies with it, I can only lead you to the water Get you a glass another, please drink this fucking water Need us up like quarters, knees scrape from falling T-off I call it, I be up and balling Come with me brother, stall it, put it on the table all in I put it on, my neighbors call it, like damn you rapping hot nice Finna evaporate any night, never see me step through city lights I'ma need me a better mic, rap until I got me a better life [Verse 3: YVHIKV] Yeah, need my presence verified I need my presence verified till I abide in the light The rifle's cold dead, like moonlight when we make bodies move You're like the voice that keeps it rolling See the good even when we blindfolded Time runs slow so it's mostly on your side Good to step right up, good to focus more inside Get to know your strengths, best to find the ones who know This life runs slow, but it's poorly when I'm done Ain't nothing so ripe like the presence, so free to fly It must be heaven, this must be heaven [Outro: Colonel Campbell & Rose] Never fading, always accessible Rumors about petty issues, misinterpretation, slander All this junk data, persevered in an unfiltered state Growing at an alarming rate
