[ASTRØnomer]: [Intro] Alright, ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking My name's ASTRØnomer, my copilot Fi$cher Rich is on the guitar Strap in [Verse] Now who would ever think that you would see me right here? I’m standing up, showing off, regardless of my fear I’m staring out your TV screens, shouting over your machines, I’ll back my right to bounce through every block like I’m a trampoline You never guessed I used to be a pessimist Always been a fuckin’ mess Fear is the one thing I can never forget But now I’m on stage so it’s time to show my shit Let’s get it, yeah first things first I live for me and mine But I’m always dead honest so you can call me Frankenstein Like a cat, I’m on life nine Your lifeline for when your night’s dying and your sight flying A million miles a second, you’ll get here I reckon When you realize the Earth spins the speed that your setting So, get here and ya wreck it I promise otherwise you end up bottlenecking The world’s been checking receipts for the last fifty weeks So don’t tell me you fuckers been skipping a beat Truth is you can keep up, but you choose not to The globe spun on as it quietly forgot you Øvercome your weakness The only reason you afraid is cause you wanna speak it So take a hint and don’t delete it. It’s what your life’s been needing, so feed it Learn how to read it, learn how to meet it Learn every person’s got their demons Learn how to Øvercome our havoc-wreaking Clean your soul until you start believing I think you catch my meaning, now see what I’m seein’ Jump into my feelings! [Fi$cher Rich]: I'm getting started by attacking the formality and challenging the platform pushing down on me It's time to seize the opportunity that's right in front of me instead of letting sleazy bosses take advantage of me AYE I'm coming for my last check, fuck your authority, keep my unemployment that was never a priority Full-time human but a part-time artist so I guess that you could say that I'm half-time honest Give this shit a listen, let go of your prejudice, I'm on a fucking mission going straight for the clitoris Killin' competition while I'm earning commission It's Fi$cher Rich on the track, the self-written instrumentalist [JAKENUNIS]: This world ain't what it used to be The fountain pen of youth is still used by we The ink of a nation unused to me A web of blank stares that used to see I hate stairs 'cause they get harder God forbid this come easy to me as Dwayne Carter A lil' pain barter will make it rain harder, who sustains a parade when the entertainment's departed? Probably the kids who want it bad enough or maybe wrapped in cuffs, innately on the cusp of what is lately snuff Or simply think too much about what's above or what's for lunch or what is love All I know is that I'm true to me Who he is now or who's to be I think of all that truth can be And all the colors in the hue of She

[ASTRØnomer] A girl I loved told me I should never rap again I’m being honest so that really ain’t happenin' Look at me, Zach is on the track again Shaking demons off my back intact though in fact I sin Is the second act any less pretend? I guess you’re nothing more than a Facebook friend Really this song is just a means to an end Really what you said was meant to offend Really I wanna tell that I still don’t sleep that great I hate to say it but I still can’t cheat fate Tell me, are you sure that you alive? 'Cause I still ain’t really sure how I manage to survive There’s empty seats at the sermon on Sunday Falling out of bed school ringing on Monday Pull me up by the sole of your shoes You can bloody me red, or color me blue Now you’re not my lover, you’re not my friend You’re only another voice in my head You broke your promise and I hope that I wind up dead You fucking cheated on me! I’ll love myself instead [Chorus] [JAKENUNIS & ASTRØnomer] So if you need an alibi to hide the statement in your eyes Tilt your head and try to cry to rinse this allegory dry Whoa, I don't believe you, I don't need you, Whoa It isn't fair for me to blame when in the end, every heartbeat is the same If each and every love will go as it came then ours will be the ashes that mark the flame [Fi$cher Rich] Was it something I did or was it just the separation? Anxiety with each notification You always said you were my number one fan but before that, You were my number one friend But now it's different we're miles apart I wrote this on my heartstrings, put it on the charts! The memories of us are so fucking painful, I been a void filler and it got me shameful The hurt gave birth to these lyrics, I really gotta thank you cause you lifted my spirit, My ride or die bitch it was nothing romantic We had a good thing didn't wanna complicate it, If I crossed the Atlantic You'd be there I've been a little flakey and a little unaware A little self-centered and a little unfair but.. Fuck... (We almost had everything) [Guitar Solo]

[ASTRØnomer] Friends don’t lie We just waste each other’s time And if you wanna die, kid, Well then you’d better get in line So, steady on the trigger now 'Cause I’m ready for a bigger crowd To blow my brains out for I’m already halfway out the fuckin' door We lead electric lives I’m stuck in your eyes We lead electric lives I’m red inside right? It's a hive mind It's a live wire I’m not a writer I’m just a good liar [JAKENUNIS & (ASTRØnomer)] Read between the lives of this live wire I’ll probably blow through a few feds before I retire (If you think this shit is fucked, you’re preaching to the choir Imma make this bitch religious like a fat fucking friar) All along you been rapping to the songs Of a clinical psycho in the eyes of the Bible (Belt to the backside, beating til your kid dies I know you didn’t ask but yes I was baptized) All this talk of so far makes me feel goner (So when I’m on the track, you call me ASTRØnomer Oh, you think I’m finished? I haven’t begun I’ll take on infinity from zero to one Where’s your pacifist now when your party ain’t won Our president is making us look next to none Uh, don’t be mistaken: murderers been running shit Ever since the government coined capital punishment!) [JAKENUNIS] I don't believe the lies because I've seen the eyes of Those who refuse to be hypnotized Hip and thigh, we work 9 to 5 Breakin' backs over beatbreaks, defy to be quantized Stand with me if I testify, be hip to my battlecry Read back through the alphabet for the letters that are not "I"! The only way we can bring more power to it, They may send the Rangers, we just gotta power through it. We just gotta power through it We just gotta power through it [Verse] We just gotta power through it! Don't misconstrue it! The more they fortify the state, the more we coup it! We just gotta power through it! Don't misconstrue it! The more they fortify the state, the more we coup it! I'm an immigrant, so you can't tell me nothin' Unless you speak my language, don't act like we discussin' I got so much family, aunties, uncles, cousins And if they touch my mama, tell the government, "Start runnin'!" I live for hip hop and would die for the cause ¡Mi paíz es el lugar para la liberación! Nadie no puede tomar nada de mi ¡Y eso es justicia para ellos y ti! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! POW-POW-POW-POW-POWER!

[JAKENUNIS] [Intro] Oh no Goin' solo Feelin' so low Gotta go it alone though [Verse] I try to keep this tree alive but the roots will never thrive when the inside dries All the time, we keep each other company, I sputter out so wonderfully, "Please don't run from me" If you won't love me, then I won't try to some degree To speak these worlds, look your way Try and gain another day with you Little boy with a lisp you loved Never thought we had a situation Which one of us was mistaken? [Chorus] I know that you miss me in some capacity But this way, fantasy won't join us when we match realities [Verse] What was us? What was then? What we held dear is now venison Who are we? What is now? The cryptkeeper and the princess in the tower Where do we end? Where do we begin? I won't submit now like I begged you then Where do we go? Who will we know? Will I ever see you in the bowels of earth or snow? If I ever saw your face carved into rock, I'd spend my days keeping it under my watch Countless children would hoist their gaze to a timeless goddess who defeated the days [ASTRØnomer] [Verse] I am the voices that you’re hearing at the end of the world I am choices that you fear, I am making toes curl I ain’t your damn prophet, I am not your messiah But I refuse to become society’s pariah I’ll dig further into seeds that I have sown Feelings I have known Endless space I created to call my own You demand generalization, I supply confirmation My momentum conservation swings y’all I swing far as my Newton balls Swing back to when the apple falls Isaac, now I, Zach reincarnate on the fast track Ask yourself if what you need is really worth the flack Yeah, you better have faith in something worth more than a stack I’m a physical prisoner but I’m picking up the slack I’ll cut my sentence short, pack my bag and take the Black Snow falling through the cracks So don’t pretend you know what’s what and what’s whack Fuck a strap I’ll take the whole God damn world back To our reality, end all brutality, render duality Before mortality catches up to the both of us [Chorus] If there is a God, would you please speak to me? If it was my fault, would you please pardon me Let the world swallow me Everyone, now follow me For the love of God would you speak to me? For the love of God would you speak to me? Please, would you speak to me? Please, would you speak to me? Please fucking speak to me
