lyrics

(Verse 1 - AIME)
I be trippin’ on my flaws when I wake up.
Demons in the past gave me scars I don’t make up.
Ain’t no EZ Pass for the toll that it take up.
It’s way too expensive just my to charge to my paystub.
But what they tell you?
Hustle hard, get ya cake up?
Without the bootstraps that be gone when we lace up?
Just to bomb on us, Memoirs of a Geisha?
Working through the trauma what they lodged in our nature.
So I’m Michael Scott - on call for the paper.
The homies never pause when I call in a favor.
All the tribulation from my Lord and my savior.
I thank Her all for cuz the boss up is major.
I know about depression, how far it could take ya.
Stumbling outta bars, seeing stars in the vapors.
Blacked out, pissin’ out the Voss and the chasers.
Snorting up Kane til you fall Under Takers.
I snapped back, putting bars on the paper.
Bought a crib, now I’m round all different neighbors.
Baggin women, dawg, I’m talkin all different flavors.
Eating Chicken Picatta with the sauce and the capers, woo!
When light dim, flip the charge on ya breaker.
I’ve come a long way since mama barged into labor.
Performing under pressure, 2-4 on the Lakers.
Live ya life until God calls you to face Her, it’s AIME, nigga.
Shit ain’t the same, nigga.
Don’t trip, ya gotta flip the charge on ya breaker.
Live ya life until God calls you to face Her, it’s AIME.

(Hook - M11SON)
It feels like a rollercoaster, rollercoaster oh.
Somethin's missin I been on a poster on a poster oh.
Hands up on the rollercoaster rollercoaster ahhh, ahhh

(Verse 2 - D Prime 215)
Aiming high as the stakes creates what’s great.
But you’re gonna carry the weight.
So, rock steady when the barrier shakes.
The darkness is what many barely escape.
Life is what you make, but are you chained to your fate?
Thoughts in my head, I mean, can you relate?
Slow & steady wins the race at a granular rate.
But life moves fast, can we pick up the pace?
Nah, I ain’t racing to the finish.
I just wanna my live life up to the limit.
I ain’t living to die.
Don’t wanna live to survive.
I just wanna live life, and love it a lot, for real.
I mean, it’s like we all got dreams right? But it’s never really how it all seems right?
215 my regime keep it a bean right!?
In between the lines, we writing a scene like Spike Lee.
It’s likely reprising these scenes might cause damage to scars we trying to heal.
Scorpio, so I got the guard on my grill.
I feel like Nas at the barbecue still.
For real.
Many challenges in place, keep the stamina for race.
Heavy weights gotta balance it in place.
Saying what you mean and meaning what you say has a cost regardless of what the cameras survey.
Wild how they treat the God like he the prey.
Are you moving forward or standing in place?
Truth come to light every single day.
Always & Forever. Forever In A Day.

(Hook + Outro - M11SON)
It feels like a rollercoaster, rollercoaster oh.
Somethin's missin I been on a poster on a poster oh.
Hands up on the rollercoaster rollercoaster ahhh, ahhh

This lifestyle don't pay no.
What the fuck I rhyme all day fo?
Feelin like an ass, I could pass for JLO.
Sippin on this liquor til the pain gone.
Said I'm sippin on this liquor til the pain gone.
Sippin on this liquor til the pain gone.
I’m sippin on this liquor til the pain gone.
Sippin on this liquor til the pain gone.
