Episode Synopsis

Pass the salt, pass the pepper, pass the mic around
Like a break in a record, bout to get down
It’s bound to cause some controversy, small or big town
Big fish, small pond, kinda like a myth now
Far as sink or swim, thin line, with a split crowd
Trying to share my life, god willing, do it with style
Locked on my life goals, he’s a human mis-sile
Tune in now, wait too long, you may miss out
Fate called my number, but must’ve been a misdial
Thought I had the answers but I guess they’ve been misfiled
One thing I know for sure, just trying to live in bliss now
Happiness been fleeting every since I was kid- CHILD
Please memories cut deep, some real foul
Used to take the ugliness, blend it with ill style
Now I take the filth, wash n rinse, cleanse then guilt
And write through the pain till every inch is felt
It’s sort of like a ritual, the rhyme is like a raft
Push in the water, light the match, spark the staff
Engulf it into flames, push it out into the waves
Wherever that it sinks…that’s where the failure stays
Plan on feeling free, living in my elder days
Sitting in silence, it’s my Hans Keller phase
Don’t raise your hand, for parts you can’t understand
Just please pardon the brand, it’s all part of the plan

Better or worse, it’s intentional I did this
It’s not new invention, I’m reprinting from the index
First time it fell through, but I plan to win next
Crack the glass ceiling but first, pass the Windex
I wanna see clearly, reshape my theory
Analyze the enemy, including those that’s near me
If I said ‘I love you’, I meant that sincerely
Said it more than twice, then it means I love you dearly
Million miles apart, thousand days since we spoke
Confusion in my heart, doesn’t change what I wrote
My brain is on the ropes, this weight class joke
This heavyweight depression got my peace in the yoke
But he didn’t know I stashed a dagger in my cloak
I put it to his throat, ‘Release me and my folks!’
That’s just passing hope, that real is more complex
And being self aware is merely one of the steps
Try to build community, seek a good therapist
Show no shame cause the path we trek is perilous
If love is in the air, I can’t feel where it is
Hurt people hurt, predictable as a parrot is
There it is, the raw data, all actions all matter
Diamond in ruff, yeah, classic case, ball-batter
Fat beats, no gallbladder, painting words, wall splatter
Choking on my own words, just to watch the ego shatter
