Save Me 04:53
***got a beast in me/ Can't be unhungry Aint believin me/ Then you best run from me I'm only human till I slip back to the animal Then it is apparent I'm on animal Don't think just act like an animal *** Yall aint see me struggle cause I hide it so well Prolly see a cool dude but I feel a hot hell Got a fury in my veins pumpin out a deep well Blood thicker than wayer but both them things swell And if you put me under pressure aint no tellin who kill So save me from myself before I come up out this shell These pages In this book This life These breaths that I took These rights these wrongs I overlook Don't wanna see nobody hang but there's blame on this hook Got me gotta go bang leave somebody brain cooked Through these lines I be sinkin They so stuck up on my color think how pink is him Color be the crime old mindstate the prison beat the rap with the rhythm And I rise Beat the rap with the rhythm and I rise I aint totally bent and I'm in good shape Can't be totally spent flow at an infinite rate Try to hold it all in to make it ok Cause if I let a little out it aint gon stop at today I know the virtues of benevloence but my soul don't say shit about that when the shit pop off I just be aimin for the fan lettin the shit fly off And I obliterate the handle can't take it back I aint ask for none of this came through this world as Zach I keep my temper to myself until yall take it off the rack You think you wanna try it out but there aint no naps For these stakes where I'm at It's just good night life See I aint got no wife Man I'm married to the rage And my vows precise Only so long I abstain Before this beast come ripe ***got a beast in me/ Can't be unhungry Aint believin me/ Then you best run from me I'm only human till I slip back to the animal Then it is apparent I'm on animal Don't think just act like an animal*** It's just another cold mornin on the North Coast/ Another day being me in this first row Seat to the show of incredible potential Pullin life up outta nothin Im rejectin the stencil Push it free form And I aint talkin bout a pencil or some paints or none of that Born to a father and mother but I'm son of rap bright over the morning ball of fire man I'm sunnin rap aint got big dreams this just a big soul Aint bout the bullshit you could save that for the pixels Picture art take these holograms to school and then I take em apart Cause I don't shine hard I emit soft light You won't find me at the bar drinkin tomorrow's piss tonight I'm on the dancefloor Cause I dance more And I aint sayin it to rhyme it's cause I dance more More swag than a mile long jellyfish Bioluminescing fools like what the hell is this Aint you got no gucci no louie or no prada Man Bambaata had a grandfather And you act like everybody wanna spend dollas On pimped out collars So when the fate holla You gettin yoked up Couldn't deal with being broke now you croaked up Man you a hustler and all yo money smoked up Man you a throwback gnagster and them wheels aint spoked up They asked who's you and you ass aint spoke up But when you with yo homies man you talkin bout you locced up In a dark night on a dark sea I'm out them dark days I'm a bright me through a prismism find the Light from the round bend Spread through the timing Revealing Roy G Biv You know what a queen is Something outdated aw gee whiz You could leave that to Beaver in the past Future been up in the present if you see past All the old bullshit you repeatedly stack In the midst of the endless expanse of experience Yesterday's you just blockin the view Yesterday's you just blockin the view I paid my dues up front I don't rent I reside Life is a balance now I'm on the light side Sayin life is a balance now I'm on the light side Light side ***got a beast in me/ Can't be unhungry Aint believin me/ Then you best run from me I'm only human till I slip back to the animal Then it is apparent I'm on animal Don't think just act like an animal***

Worm from the apple to your mouth like high/ I was hoping you could point me to the pie in the sky/ Or at least the baker with the recipe see my/ Friend took off last month and I Remained with the apples to prepare/ And I packed and I stowed and I cleaned and took care/ To dust out the cracks And then seal up the cracks/ To stack up the sacks and take all the sacks and stuff them inside of the one biggest sack/ It's a wonder in fact to just re-see your space/ Like leaving and moving to a different place/ And you see we had figured if packed and delivered/ In apples not slivered/ But whole and in tact we get baked to the pie in the sky/ Just like that/ It was then stated fact/ So we consulted yelp and googled around/ And found that a baker in this very town/ Used entire apples in the jewel of his crown/ A recipe for royalty/ Fit for a king who was rotten with spoiling/ And where was it served you might find this obsurd But united arab emirates / My g that's my word/ From this worm mouth you heard/ You the truth of this tale/ That's shovel and pail/ Pitchfork and haybail/ Finger and braille Monty pythong and grail/ The one that is holy/ Only cause it is moly/ They put out this sun to try and control and me/ So I went underground and ate up the dirt/ I came out at night/ Saw the earth that's my work/ Cause I fix up the broke/ And I egg up the yolk/ I go between animals and plants like a rope Of strange textures and motion/ From the bike that you ride to the weed that you're smoking/ Worms eat up earth that makes earth where you're floatin/ It's life that we're quotin and we don't say a word/ Cause we speak the unspoken and make the earth turn

A high state of mind my thoughts are mad leavened/ Wishin on a cloud like this my first day livin/ Rain hidden till the vapors push the limit/ And the water fall down/ Cause it condense right Are we reachin saturation is there less life/ Left then passed/ see we cuttin back the grass/ But the yard keep shrinkin/ There's a hole in the glass/ And our minds aint thinkin bout that leak right/ Go to take the last sip and find a flea bite/ Breathe for a second and consider what you felt/ Weigh fleeting moments with the metals that we smelt/ To fashion into trinkets and distinguish ourselves/ No real benefit no correlation to health Just dancin on the earth's crust/ Heart pound and the head rush/ Life don't slow down to defends us/ From the foolishness of humans racin to the finish/ like we saw the proper pace then made that frequency forbidden/ So I'm crankin up the bass to get the memory risen/ Come on/ Doc brown with me here now Come on/ Florida for most its beyond borders/ Of strange and outrageous paths and their corridors/ Condors and unicorns Condos and southern horn / of plenty overflowin carbonation takin place from the everglades to penny camp let's get a 51st state/ Move up out this worst case/ stand on computers to reach higher fruit/ Or program computers to learn you and reboot Earth's mainframe aint human / So what you think doin/ When the end come around/ You a man or a woman or a cycle in an old sound/ Go bang in a wet cloud/ Call it lightning I just call it gettin down/ Intense television is ridiculous/ Intense television is ridiculous/ I was born in Huey's little tent/ by the river that Suzanne led leonard down to/ And I grew up in divine paper house/ Where sleep was the cousin of death no doubt/ And I'll be buried from the aeroplane over the sea and the rainbow

Born in the era of France before now You were my kinda guy you made it my kinda town You put the toilet in the gallery and everybody frowned You put that nude on the staircase and the lady went down You stripped the bride of her clothes I used my eyes and touched my nose To the wooden wall you built Gazing through those holes revealed a body bein milked For the retinal I admire the size of your testicles Short sighted might call you hypocritical You made art and then you made art vestigial just beasts in the mirror or abstractions in the window for A later generation You less a statement And more a semicolon Its Where you at and where you goin you in this fuckin house Godfather to Gordon Matta Clark you get it open I stand in awe in the wake of your memory It washes over us all but I guess something more got into me I'm flooded with the passion to dismantle constructively And I'm riding in this ark spinnin circles life in rotorelief *i wanted to kill the artist as a little god* *** Chorus *** Rise from the earth where inventor met the debutante Into this old world and usher zen as the echelon You wrote the limit for the scale that we measure on Hypothesized the sampler you the shit get your forever on Four thirty three Fuh four thirty three Silence out in woodstock Man that's riots out in woodstock Back in 1952 You was buddha what it do But more like what It doesn't You blessed Lamonte young in new school and mills You kept it trill discarded frills Made williams mix with tape reels And used 12 golden throats and 24 folks to landscape the real But you called it imaginary That's very clever You made paintings with smoke and rocks you were a black mountain legend You Played chess with marcel duchamp You hunted mushrooms for the thrill of it And lived above johnn and yoko for an important hot minute *** Chorus

Hyrdoplanin on my wallies Hydroplanin in my wallies Ughh i ghost ride my body/ I'm off that syrup cause I put it on my french toast Me and my homies chill hard and just chill most I rap like one two thousand Skip three cause I'm far too clouded So fresh man I'm lookin like I'm powdered Rub women Who love they own image I'm in em like they popeye and I am the spinach Often and gladly They laugh cause I make them happy I'm in the spot like pants Far from here where my limits My ears wear the privilege Hear truth always finish Every statement Cause I know when it diminish Strapped up when I hit it Yeah I keep it moving like life long movie I kill you easy like glass veins I wax on wax off like skateboards and cops carry weight like Pelicans in flocks No props all Slots and I'm coined out like lots of twenties in your pocket at grand prix watch it And if you think ytou want to pop it with me Then go ahead and pop it and we'll just wait and see How much bubble over how much more it gone take Cause my cup way bigger and I'm takin yours make No mistake I am wid it I am zachg and iller than you're ever gone be *** Chorus *** Allow me to reemphasize myself My name is zachg pissin on your crap see Me in the backseat Lickin on them fat teets Stickin gettin nasty Get her flyin while we drivin and she don't wanna fight it We keep peacable Until I cut her Like a pilot Mach 10 glidin Bustin through the sound barrier I bury her until she go silent Breath on pant My pants on Lord in the flesh and my feet be my throne Overstand where I'm at so understand I can't be cloned And I'm savage off the dome Like this a conan microphone And I'm outta this world like I done fucked the ozone From the outside Ill be sippin dogfish fuck a saint ide's Call me saint high Ill anoint you with the potion Less mark mcgwire and I'm more sammy sosain All my Gs stand up and these fakers keep foldin Keep on smokin keep on rollin Get up in the pussy till she cummin till she floatin go too long never had a good moment *** Chorus

***In this jungle/ in this quiet jungle/ there's a sleepless lion tonight*** I'm with foxes Burrowing owl Hares and opposums Ospreys and oscars Natives imposters Emerge from the sawgrass unscathed know you saw that Be a boss don't give a fuck about no boss hat Cause I'm alone where I boss at Endless expanses of Wetlands and wildlife Raised to have a spirit don't rely on a satellite Don't fight Found a way and a path And I lao tzu walk it Nobody else to it you allow you to walk it I aint fuckin with a carpet at home So what the fuck I care about one on TV I got a family and a drive to be happy So peace be the missile miss me or get at me And if you get it twisted I will gladly unrap thee you aint know my last you can call me zachg Persistence and presence And the package go deep Don't got a mattress but I got my teeth I keep them clean as well as my feet My fate hold me down Stomach got me on a leash But if I break them things Hit the surface then breach First whale on the beach with them legs man But just a long detour from the water Imma keep on breathin pack of alveoli piranas in my chest So how's that look from outer space Read the writing on the great wall of china bout the race Man it's long So long Life long And if you aint got a smile then you aint gonna last You'll be back in this life livin a loop through the past Real liberation passed you gotta catch up The longing of past yous Make you gotta back up But life goin forward so its mashin your back up End crippled end crushed end cracked up Shoulda laughed in the first place thought it was a quick road turned out it's the worst case Cause it took you straight down To the dirt happy birthday ***chorus*** There's a process But its stacked under cautions Costs less if you livin out of process But then you caught up and you comin outta pocket For livin that life that don't cost but it profit Off makin others pay until they all up outta options Relentless to get this rent this repentence and then this dimension Collapses or ends its Just that simple Push that pencil Till you off the page Lead gon burn And lines gon erase You can ride this earth Till your next birthday You gon circle that sun You gon learn that pace You gon earn that year if you like this place You gon lose one turn if you don't play this game Aint no price right when money cost this much givin too much life to get a profit off Cars of the future still cats right And the future gotta come what's that like Sayin earth gon go Water turn to snow Snow turn to to rivers And the rivers gotta flow And then its back to the oceans unless its bottled up And with more supermarkets always being more flush How much of those glaciers on shelves right now And can't refreeze so they carry degrees Right on up with the price of gas gas plastic and oil is really the past We makin hollowed out earth and it can't go back Till lotsa shit dies There's a consequence it aint opinion its fact That what we do with resources is finite math And when we make it add up it aint gon be no blast Aint a party for the fallen when they rose off wrath So what you done with your life what you carved with your path sayin name yourself before this thing collapse
