Crash Landing
04:22

Why're we all in a rush?
Eyes closed, counting down to lift off
It's the final frontier
You see a pitfall; I see a pit stop
Even though my stomach is in big knots
It's better to be guiding this ship across the known universe
Where nothing is impossible
Please, pardon my apologies
We've crash landed on a planet
Numbers on the screens, when we try to scan it
Not matching the scenes
Nothing's what it seems
Chances of other beings living out their dreams
We are the intruders
Y'all better all remember that
Looking like the engine is totalled
And so to get it back running
That requires new wisdom kernels and better facts
So therefore what we gotta do is interact
Step out the craft; try to fulfill a mission
That's centring around how we're giving back
Speaking real shit; booting up the system app
Avoid the kill switch
That isn't a solution for what we're trying to deal with
We ain't superhuman; repeating life is a real myth
So many real risks pretending
like we know what we are doing
This planet is fully unlike our own
Deja vu I'm feeling is chilling me to the bone
And now possibly everything that I know is up in the air
Despair swirling up in the dome
But I'm taking a comfort in being battle-tested
No longer sitting and wondering
It's time that we invest in it
This atmosphere, crumbling; pressure all-encompassing
Wealth of an opportunity, people, and not a deficit
And that's that; hitting you with the facts
Ready to power through this wilderness without a map
Surrounded by hostility feeling we can't relax
And, yeah, we're moving forward regardless of who detracts
So keep an eye out
It's all about the progress, do it before the sun sets
Heaven turning the lights out on my doubts
Fully convinced that we ain't done yet
All we have is the one test:
Needing fuel for the fly-out

Alien Invaders
04:20

Classify the mission as a gong show
Now stranded on a planet full of dark smoke
Claiming that nobody will be harmful;
Claiming that nobody will be harmed
So now can we ever trust this planet
That'll be sucking the very soul out of us
Never knowing if it'll tell us how to adjust to its gravity
Otherwise you're getting crushed like whoa!
Realizing that you're out of touch like whoa!
Sitting around and never doing much like
Oh, what can you be moping about?
You open your mouth, all we hear are broken accounts
Maybe I should burn another ounce, nitro
Doctor got me laying on a couch, psycho
I'mma be embarrassing niggas by shuffling all around
Seeking clarity by wildin' out
I'm so washed, but never clean
Probably the saddest sack that you'll ever see
Nightmares increase, and yet I never dream
Completely misusing every bit of energy
Desperation is upon us now
How do we dig out of this quandary?
Every step has gotta count
This planet'll try to hit you with the run-around
It's got you willing to block out any other sound
And for a second turning the brain off
Leaving the Game of Life and not returning to play
Now it's eating me alive what I'm always yearning to say
And all of my ambition is slowing burning away
Am I glad to oblige to be passing the time?
So happy to fade away and be the last of a line?
Worrying all about it's got me out of my mind
No longer thinking about how I'm gonna survive
If I'm wildin' out

Launch Codes
03:33
|
|||
It's like I never confront
Smiling ear-to-ear, double thumbs up
Taking all my food? Got me dumbstruck
How're they leaving me with never even one crumb?
Now I gotta unplug
Step outside, breathe in fresh air, fill my lungs up
Now exhaling pure fire
It's a lot of fun when I gotta send a notice:
That I'm not the one
So check me suiting up with a pen or pencil
'Til my last breath, I get to clash with the elementals
It's Libra -- no longer to rep the middle
It's trash, leave it in the past, still I'm sentimental
Back then I used to get resentful;
Treatment on this world's never preferential
Used to struggle with how to stomach this
Now they're wondering how we're running shit
It's about time that I dropped that ode
To my state of mind when I crossed that road
Conceding was a crime, and I fought that fold
Staying on the grind 'til the spot explodes
With the launch codes within our control
Is when we say yes, or when we say no
On track to bomb that indecision
Right up off the launch pad
Through the atmosphere, never going back
Gotta know with clarity I want that real shit
Can't argue with the evidence
Or bury my head in a room full of elephants
Fucking with regret? I'd rather reminisce
All about exploring all these paths I was set against
See the green light, all prepared for the countdown
The engine is repaired
This isn't a time to clown around
If we truthfully ever want to get out of town
We're gonna need the greatest starship, pound for pound
Same as saying your energy: every bit of it's needed
Required in every ounce of sound
Used to struggle with how to stomach this
Now they're wondering how we're running shit

Hyperdrive
03:58
|

Here we come
Never be satisfied
Trying to reach that number one
Only feel gratified
When the plan and the job is done
Ready to amplify 'til they can't deny us
Getting our chance to fly
Headed for the stars
And we gon' shoot that shot
Are they really super shocked?
That we're going to the top?
Everybody sit down and please buckle up immediately
The ship is all surrounded by rocks
That could easily puncture holes in the hull we got
Up in the vacuum of space still molten hot
Our only plot through the territory
One bad mistake, we'll be very sorry
So activate the dark matter engine
Brace yourself for the hyperdrive
So we can travel space all in a couple seconds
Only choice if we gon' survive
The type of moment that, over time,
The soul and mind, both feeling so alive
Gotta lean in to that older vibe so sublime
Better hold on tight…!
Everybody sit down and please buckle up immediately
The ship is all surrounded by metal
That could easily puncture holes in the hull we got
Up in the vacuum of space still molten hot
Our only plot through the territory
One bad mistake, we'll be very sorry
So activate the dark matter engine
Brace yourself for the hyperdrive
So we can travel space all in a couple seconds
Only choice if we gon' survive
The type of moment that, over time,
The soul and mind, both feeling so alive
Gotta lean in to that older vibe so sublime
Better hold on to my approach
Thrive whether on the ropes or high
We've got what it takes to do this
Isn't like our ego is getting oversized
When we're coming through quick with galactic movements
So stress-inducing
But I've got a feeling that our repeated attempts
Will be so conducive to us getting to the ceiling
Keel is so even
So we elite when opportunity-seeking
Going so beyond light years of distance
No matter the risk,
I guarantee that we're going strong
Despite travelling oh so long
Fresh legs on deck, we really got next

Parallax
02:55
|

Now these niggas never shook
Standing in the wake of an ominous smell of barbecue
You know, the final frontier
Four dimensions: space and the hourglass
Now we're stepping in this bitch like we own this shit
Even though we really ain't supposed to win
This odyssey's brought us so close to it
Every pair of lungs going motionless until the moment hits
Then we're gonna celebrate
'Til then, try to never hesitate
When we knew the worst was behind us
All that was maligned in our minds just fell away
So now it's hard for me to illustrate
Just how much the hope led the way
Up the mountain and out of the valley
Bringing only drastic change for the finale
Ending of a long flight
Everything left now has gone right
After suffering the dark nights
Now we're gonna bathe in the starlight
Like I said when I dropped that flow
Y'all got's to know that everything is possible
All we gotta achieve is lying in front of us on a platter
It's time we get to eating every atom of matter
'Til the entropy's here to stay
Free lunch: never see it on a dinner plate
It's not even as if our worries will disintegrate no less
Still feeling the pressure to assimilate until we're in a grave
But I'mma cherish that
And view through many different angles for parallax
Because, really, how you see things
It depends on where you're starting from:
Happiness that victory brings
Or the fear that had us on the run
I see both are in play
Coming down to a choice that we make everyday
The joy to zero in and do whatever it takes
To build a will and a conviction one can never destroy
Following a dream
Simple as it seems 'til the logical begin to intervene
When they're ignorant of all the goddamn stakes
But I rejoice: the faith I have, redeemed!

Captain's Log

Captain's Log, entry 183:
Outer space became a wavy place to be
Solar winds sustain through the blazing heat
Celestial bodies' names all from ancient Greece
Live another day, or die from complacency
So when continuing to strive, do it patiently
What a time to be alive!
An amazing feat: every single time be we try
Getting from A to B
Famously curious on how
We came to be these masters of what's all out there
Is it a strange belief that we were made to breathe?
Living a life and taking a risk, it's all the same to me
That's a major key
This spaceship's fully equipped
with laser beams and proton torpedos
I pull the trigger to slay the beats
Never taking it lightly
Or doing it lazily more than occasionally…
Where I aim to be

BBQ SZN (Kawhi)
03:25
|

Yes sir, there's a reason I'm a captain
Certainly a question worth asking now
I never stand pat; I'm adapting
Next step: learn to back down not a fraction
I'm telling y'all we've come too far
Crash landing earlier, an untoward happenstance
Yeah we tried shit, took a chance;
Did our own stunts like a kung fu star
What's it look like for the last pain,
Every single tortuous thought that wracks the brain?
Through incremental steps, never drastic gains
Fade away 'til we finally get past the rain
Through plastic frames,
I view the curse of the universe, a void
Shouting into it, "You better do your worst"
Gotta be ready for this shit,
Planning for every possibility through your work
Everyone alive, they bring that doubt
Even in the times everything goes south, always gotta try
Better bring that clout if you ever wanna get that dough
Best believe I'mma get that dough
Yeah we gotta eat so to speak;
It's Barbecue Season outside that door
And when the smoke all clears
Best believe I'll be the G.O.A.T. out here, Kawhi
I don't even need that much
Just enough to ease that crunch
From all the opportunities passed up
But fuck this shit, I'll breath that dutch, lemme double down
Still seeing valleys all over the place
Lemme maintain pace, this shit'll come around
Bring hard work mentality upward
Momentum is achieved, we've fully freed this summer sound
Running it back, champion pedigree
Unrivaled crew with positive energy
All the barbecue, well we better eat
If we want to be the entity that is in a league of our own
Doesn't mean that, as a result, we're all alone
Just travelling in another zone
But with this victory I gets to sleep
Knowing I've gifted these solid poems to everyone alive.
