Finding Dirt 04:12
Two bare hands One shovel Most days spent this way Just digging Digging in a hole that doesn't prove deeper yet here I am Just digging Feel this dirt Over How I am Supposedly secretly Figure your take and leave it be This dirt this dirt this dirt this dirt... Here it is I'm lost I would ask If if it's what they wanted But those ears are hollow Hollow for this dirt Is this what the work gets Each lift worth any weight (Hollow for this dirt) Each lift worth any weight (Hollow for this dirt) By your standard (By your standard) By your standard (By your standard)

Verse 1 (I’m open, I’m focused, I’m hopin’ you knowin’), I’m chosen, the dope spittage from penmanship. Straight living’ in a life full of turbulance, Security similar to insecurity worthlessness. (Workin’, as a merchant, or workin’ wit' no purpose), is hard to swallow, cinnamon is more (Perfect, be complacent, is jaded, I hate it), If there’s a creator of this I would chase them (Cause face it), We live in a, (nation that's constantly changing), It ain’t slowing down to stick to the basic we must (Awaken, cause ain’t it, a shame that we’re slavin’), For little payments all going to rent. Paying these bills like a destiny child’s song, I just feel like it’s more to live than just living’ for money dog. All this practicality, traditionalistic decisions is settlement’s middle name, faulty civilizational aims. All I’m say is expand when it counts, I’m I’m saying is expand when it counts, we break down like that! Verse 2 (The ceiling, is filled with, a billion, of different), Ideas for the world just use your (Intuition, big picture, a mixture, of inserts) and invention to help this observable (Universe, you can work, through the hurt, new birth), to the first thirst from the innovators (Who lurks) who say forget a chair, we gotta build a better worth like flying up in the air. Our Red Giants’ gonna be unbearable, for the sake of the human race space has the variables. (The Milky Way, Galaxy will fade, someday), We just gotta prepare for it in some way. (The arrangement, can taste it, the brain is amazing’) Just use it for knowledge to create (The nameless, I’m saying’, that if you are complacent), It’s the downfall of creation. All I’m say is expand when it counts, I’m I’m saying is expand when it counts, we break down like that! Verse 3 Embrace change, it’s part of our DNA, sticking to conventional ways brings knowledge when the old is gray. Irrelevant to the first time new task, push out this new method just it’s a craft. We all have it, no need to cause havoc, we should work as a team and make dreams happen. I truly believe that all of the world’s mysteries could be solved if we evolved in these industries. All I’m say is expand when it counts, I’m I’m saying is expand when it counts, we break down like that!

One Bolt 03:56
(One bolt) Do you really think it just takes (One bolt) I eat one of those pre-breakfast (One bolt) It never is just one, you know (One bolt) sometimes it just takes These days it takes 120 just to get a free throw Can you even stand up with that pace Can you even stand up with just one of those Is there something I'm missing from mine Should have followed your lead Transferred in my shares Nah, I'm okay But I wouldn't mind your dance Could you just get a little closer If not, I'll take a rain check on that picture One bolt I'll stand up You sit down We both might just stand up We both might just sit down We don't even have to be on the same page It doesn't even have to look the same You feel that You feel my frequency Might just want to get a little bit closer One bolt

Sometimes it can get dim in here And sometimes a light pulls through There's board games and croquet In other words just enough to do If you sit just right it's comfy Doze off to give yourself a few There's food for it Nothing fancy or elaborate depending on your point of view Opportunities for conversation just swim by Nearside close enough to take a queue You could get lost there's no map but directionally your gut pulls through Easiest way back is just to snap out of it Just to snap out of it I don't mind I don't mind Being in here Things could be worse Things could definitely be worse Do you feel it's getting pretty dark in here Do you think the grass could be greener Do you think mine could be there someday What's with all these questions who's asking Do I even want to know It's alright in here I'll stay here I don't mind it here

Just keep it pushing’, keep it pushin’ on, don’t ever let em get into your zone. It’s MonoPole I finish the show like an episode without a pillow, without a pillow it’s cold. Like this observable universe the most is something to know, negative energy takes us out of control. Easily dope like the coke that your don’t smoke, I’m bringin’ the soul, bulldozing a full a show. Let’s dip and just go. Highs and the many lows, we still fly and go wit the flow. It’s me (Joe), you can’t deny these lyrics and quotes I learned from both coastal postal rich folks. to people not having soap, the balance while having a toast, we have a challenge let’s keep it afloat. Bro, joe, it’s kinda tragic how people don’t vote, I feel sadder for people that don’t know the role. Antidote, Antidote for corruption, it’s strong, It’s our gateway to getting along. In harmony while singing a song, living in righteousness what’s wrong, we got our chew toys, the life of kongs. Gong, we be so raw, Wet Eyes wit the surprise without breaking the law. It’s like something you saw, I’m just opening jaw, D.A.W. Daw, musically without a flaw. (Musically without a flaw, Musically without a flaw)
