Sunmundi: Lie to myself like, I never been under the weather, only over the moon Grab the mic like, “Aight I guess this the moment of truth” Address every single one of life’s guesses with “Hello, sir or ma’am, how do you do?” I fell out when I wrote it, entered a dark room Adored it, devoted, when I came to Let go of myself and she came too I guess dreams can really do come true Some shit you gotta tip off of the cliff and watch it brew I used to stand still, scared of making the wrong moves But in this very moment I’m relinquishing all of myself to the fucking groove Rhymes make enzymes improve, and DOOM minuscule But it’s still all caps cause I’m no fool All that was old is now relevant, so I can’t lament what never actually accrued Cause I’m alive, that’s what the bruises prove Throw the yucca root in the stew All that rap rings white noise, beep boop White boys killing beat loops Fuck it I’ll succumb to the low hanging fruit Graduation from Griselda type beats, the only thing I’m praying for is we all make it through One wrong move could flip this whole fuckin canoe Shemar taking us farther than far on the 1s and 2s Mic check, this is a test for what’s under your life vest Results determined love alone’s not enough, boo If the kicks fit, I’m wearing the boots Chuck that ginger into my healing juice Lately all I see is crossroads scattered across the avenue And a little bit of everything killing me softly A little bit of everything killing me softly It’s killing me softly shemar: time’s a flat circle // cracks on the surface // repeating what’s heard // cycles cautious, them curses bones to sawdust // skeleton key // what’s under my feet far from beneath me // big steps, bare wind, my // ship’s sail steered pure as a baby’s gurgle // as a first breath // scorched earth from scorn obsessed // learned behavior, repeating what’s heard // the courage to ask questions God won’t be asking // scrunched expressions // smelt manhattan leaving the theater // that kid shit gets crushed // bones to sawdust // my body grew up knowing for a smile it’s all petty cash // bonding w zara over bubble buddy on facetime // watch her jacket drag, cared // snacks on the sky train // chants for chance for racks // scared to feel in her father’s eyeshot // tears dance at the thought // swell at the hope // my home bingo board // turn my dreads towards the flash // turn the cameras up // flesh bodies on the floor // sink your fangs in my namesake //

Staring at our footprints in the sand I don’t know why I never liked the beach but I know for a fact I like the way you walk me through it and hold my hand I can do everything I think of until I realize I really fuckin can’t When I’m down, you gotta let me be who I am I was taught to bottle it Pickled red onion and homemade peach jam Discarding the sourdough starter on the counter for weeks, the kitchen cramped We give and we take, who knows if God even got a plan I like the way you stay alone with me in this lonely land Indifference my emotional dam I’m tryna get over At times, I feel like my strength is a sham But you lift me up like Patients on the bed for the brain scan Not raps, but momentary graveyard jams Flat line, cook down the fat from the lamb Life is beautiful, your birria is damn Sometimes I need a hug wider than the width of a single wingspan Just understand, you my love and I’m your man I used to have the grayscale Air Max 95s Triple black, grey gradient and white I think that’s how I viewed my life Like that’s love, that’s numb, that’s plight We were matching kicks, serene on sight But now I know you gotta listen more than you fight I won’t cut you off, listener’s ears, Starry Night Lean to the left, take that last breath, and admit when you’re not right Growth is what that looks like Learning’s a lot like seeing the light Beach was sunny once, but I feel the heat tonight

On the day to day On the day to day Most shit I see is A to B But now I go where magic takes me In the throes of the woes, you can’t be caught catching Zs Death hides hidden plain in HD It could get hot as Hades as sure as boiling butter makes ghee In and out through my chest is my outlet I’ve spent mad cycles corroded and clouded Hold your peace or bounce it I’m out the pocket, but stay around it Four square, walls can block you, but they also make houses I’m blessed to say that mine was peaceful But love doesn’t flow freely, guess that’s the payback Don’t say “I love you” to my brothers enough, I guess it’s hard to If you feel it, say that If you can deal, you winning On occasion I hit home plate for helpful filling I open the windows and all the air flows out She sucked me in with a closed mouth The truth broke out The blues are now I picked organic fruits and veg by the roots on the farm in the summers I was most lonely The sun felt like my closest homie I zig zag on this hemisphere I’m not afraid of what I create when I believe the end is near Best friends are well known to disappear The force that moves me also keeps me silent Malaise came for my veins and I whispered, “Not yet” Overly inundated with content, devoured by text My mood swings to touch the rockets then the Loch Ness Binary codes left me drained, I still stay in sync with sockets Say what you want, but I can feel it gelling The evidence is overwhelming On this track I’m in heaven swelling Bugs Bunny pulling a piano out his pants, what I got next?
