lyrics

Slide on down this even keel
Watch my ship float way away from here
I do believe, stuck at sea
I may just be at ease
Now I see
There’s nothing upon which we all agree
I do believe
I’m finally free, I’m where I want to be

This mic I’m rippin but this mind is trippin
Tryin to see around a curve on a road that’s got me slippin
Not slow on ice, sleet, and snow without chains
Hopin one night would lead to many of the same
I felt the connection, serotonin in the synapse
Beachside bungalow made of cards gonna collapse
With the slightest gust, she gave a huff n a puff
Blew my house down, sometimes life just gets rough
Was a recipe for disaster, at least I was in the kitchen
Even Robin was the one that got Ivy itchin
With that said, all posted up in my head
Hopes floating like Zeppelin but not filled up with Led
I Robby Planted that in my mind and stole a Paige from Jimmy
Physical Graffiti, won’t be easy to forget me
I’ve got a lot to offer and don’t want another offer
But if it’s the door she wants than it ain’t worth it to stop her

What is love? Haddaway
Feeling a lot like Tom, Castaway
Stranded but I’ve got myself so still I’m styilin
‘bout to go Swiss Family Robinson up on this Island
Slim Slow Slide on Down, ain’t no hiding now
You can run but your feet going to fail you now
I’ve got this sunshine, this time it’s all mine
I’m going to drink it in, come closer to what’s on my mind
Independent just like these tracks we layin
Playin the blues even though these skies are greyin
Freedom can’t come from being chained to someone
Don’t be stupid kid, like Icarus flying to close to the sun
This is my proclamation for emancipation
In a Lincoln, driving solo, feeling dolo, across this nation
Let’s take it back, back now
She set me free, aint ever looking back now
