OFF THE PAVEMENT! Lyrics

Skkrt Skrrt Skrrrrt

This is the ride

Off the pavement, pour my heart into a type beat

Oklahoma boy, I'm never switching sides

My name ain't Lincoln Riley

Compromising isn't something I can comprehend

My heart is torn apart, that everything I start will come to end

Bend, break, ultimately just forget it

There's a lesson here, I reckon that you trash your adolescence

I said it and I meant it, X's on my hands

And understand I fit descriptions that are more than just aesthetic

My mug is warm, my spirit lifted on to higher planes

My love is long, my soul is trudging on to brighter days

My heart is safe, the mice in me are men

I paint the image of myself so all you bums will never get the chance

Sometimes I'm scared to be the bearer of the missiles

Don't think therapy can stop me holding guns to my ambitions

Even worse, my words could never put you in my mental

I guess sometimes healing hurts, and pain can really clear your vision

Grace me with the glimpses, save me from my senses

If morals fall apart then let me starve from my intention

Idly, I can be a vessel of retention

Muster seed situations, moving mountains how I've listened

Listen, where the hell is quit?

Cause hell if I know

Slept three hours on the street to rock a show in Colorado

The voices that I follow kills the past that I create

And I meditate to free me of my own selfish ways

What's the stakes? Cause I refuse to say I can't

No percentage of me snake cause I'm from Norman, not Durant

Ain't got no time to write a chorus

I'd still be writing poems if there were no one here to notice

Ain't got no time to write a chorus

I'd still be writing poems if there were no one here to notice

Man I feel like DJ Lucas, let me talk my talk

I represent this city, not the mayor, not the cops

My nana died, she said she's proud of me

But honestly, she never saw me blow up

And that kinda hurts an awful lot

To be so weary of your whereabouts

Really makes you narrow all the things you actually care about

And here and now won't be remembered

And I can't write a word that's gonna live until forever

Can you feel it in the moment?

When you're breathing, can you hold it?

Ain't got no time to write a chorus

I'd still be writing poems if there were no one here to notice

You take the beat away and all you gots a poet
