Lyrics:
VERSE 1
I thought this up off recollections from past life 
a memory I built I dedicate to my last slice
now that nothing's in my name I share it all freely
for these gifts I couldn't pay 
so giving came easy
a greeting a smile and a patience that stays waitin
I'm deeper in now in these waters I stay wading
what was the connection in my cortex that had me more vexed I stress for more checks 
numb like a cortical shot watch me stop right at the door steps
I feel like that a lot 
like maybe my whole life journey 
was learning how to accept the day I am laid in a gurney 
afraid I'll reach my destination and start turning 
trade my talents away that I picked out
give my balance...now scales are tipped out 
Reflect and In a puzzle I'm caught 
Is memory an accurate portrayal of thought?

HOOK (Jung Youth)
Retroscapes I see them come and go again
Night and Day like clouds of rain and sudden wind
y'all might say we growing old, it's evident
Perhaps its time to go someplace we've never been



VERSE 2
and if I hold it all in who gonna give the spark to my seeds?
Lately I been thinking lotta bout death 
Ya final destination hit you Outta nowhere and you on your last breath 
that is not morbid 
all my songs are pretty
keep ya hands off the orchids
when you visit magic cities 
when mom & pop go corporate thank ya streaming service 
I don't fear MCs
and spotify should make me nervous 
when the universe is limitless, unmeasured and vast
I don't invest in your treasures
I'm not lookin for dap
don't need ya stock tips
Or ya top picks 
like if I'm not in a top five 
Well would I be in the top six.....
lookin ass
I'm in for the integers, 
Win a pennant for the sinners to take it from the senators 
who had our best interests in the pockets of the criminals
who made they best interest in the banks call me cynical
