Both Ends

Chasing that high for a few days I was trying to catch a few rays Of the light When it's nice outside For an x-ray An ex man thinks about A next man And about the exit plan Executed so perfectly Now execute me urgently Urged me to reconsider What someone other than you Might deliver But damn I'm such a fibber I could never give her My whole heart when I didn't love myself I lost some love over some wealth I lost myself in someone else Now I move in stealth mode Locked in and laying low I'm playing some unplayable thing I'm so unstable I think I need a cane if I'm Abel I'm building higher than Babel To find the meaning of fables When I babble like a brook You see me spitting in tongues The Spirit filling my lungs My time has just begun I was stoking the fire Smoking sativa Reading the bible Finding believers I've been keeping it honest Keeping a handle Shining my light while I was Burning the candle At both ends At both ends I've been burning the candle At both ends At both ends I've been burning the candle at both Always tryna find a better strain It's unsustainable Convince myself to shine in the rain I'm never undebatable I practice non-attachment I still practice some relaxing Guess I'm blowing off some steam Cause the pressure's uncontainable I sometimes wish that I could Settle for less nevertheless Find success in the progress and process I'll bet on fate It'll make you meditate or medicate Gonna make the jump Then you better not hesitate I just do what I can till I can't Then I make some amends I make some new friends I stick to the plan Act like a man Work like a man Get hurt like a man I cry like a man Who I really am But I find the light And get right in sight of the creator Creating something greater Before resting on the seventh day So my maker gives me grace To make hits from Every seven mistakes I was stoking the fire Smoking sativa Reading the bible Finding believers I've been keeping it honest Keeping a handle Shining my light while I was Burning the candle At both ends At both ends I've been burning the candle At both ends At both ends I've been burning the candle at both You exist for God's self-expression The presence of God is not anthropomorphic It is a presence that is never an absence Constantly expressing itself You exist for its expression And the presence of God Knows you clearly
