Hike to the Arkade Lyrics
Microwave Fiend
So it counts as a stream
you are now in tune
as the people swoon
On the next hot thing
From those who can't sing
I'll bet ya bottom dollar
Radio will make em holla
Play thousand times an hour
Now it's sweet it ends up sour
The way that they program
television fake scams
Controlling you
No matter what you do
Try to chase independence
But depending on the
Old platforms
Who create viral storms
It gets so spread
End up misled
With an audience
Who couldn't care if you end up dead
These the politics
You have to reckon with
Please read the manuscript
on how to blow up quick
Can’t pay rent
Now they must’ve evict
You scrambling and rambling
all of this is damaging
your psyche
got you feeling poor and panhandling
these are the things
The drama will bring
anyway, you got pushed
and flew right off the swing
it’s my turn
i’m not saying this again
Piece of the Pie
Why should I
Give the piece of the pie
Break it down to 8 sections
One eighth of the pie
Is a (mere) fraction
perhaps we split an iced tea
In the land of Arizona
Where I'm from
Really nice to know ya
Nah I'm kidding
I am the east coast
The pie is top billing
New York does the most
Yep yep we chillin
Gather on the stoop
Hitting on fly girlys
As they pass in the coupe
to keep you in the loop
I got five bucks
So I can buy a pie
Me share? don’t press your luck
Crispy a mystery
It seems to always get me
The thickness of the crust
beautiful and plush
As a teddy bear
I really think it’s clear
The dependency of crunch
got me feening over there
Here in reality
I see it with the clarity
Bury me I'm proud to be
A Cheese lover casualty
Drowning in the sauce
Never at a loss
So I'm proud be
an offender of the cause
Let me be clear
Let me be clear
It didn't work out
No need to fear
Get it all out
Scream and I shout
They all hear
Time is of the essence
Timing is a blessing
Time goes round and round
Timing up and down
Figure I apologize
part of the demise
It takes two to tango
On the dance floor tonight
Right I know your worth
Focus comes first
Need to disperse
Bad energy and anything that hurts
I know that hurt is me
for that, we can agree
Like a bad burn
More like third-degree
swimming away
Like some fish in the sea
You throw the bait
but the bait ain’t me
Cuz i need it
Cuz I need it
Cuz I need it
Cuz I need it
cause I need it
Things material
Addicted to retail
Call me a serial
shopper the first time
I took it serious
Started from the bottom
My theory is progressive
as an adolescent
My wants were all expected
So you can tell
No need to second guess this
Cause I need it
All the latest fashion
The fads and the trends
I'll buy up everything
I don't have enough room
To stash this
Piles to the rafters
Buying more a hobby
Than a habit, I grab it
Will I ever wear
The clothes I can’t afford?
Can I get a discount?
through the side door
it’s five fingers
When I start to linger
Out in 10 seconds flat
Out the back so relax
cause I need it
see what I’m willing to do
No prize I can’t win
or even pursue
I’m trying to get you the news
spread it around town
Then get you the views
I know that I can sound rude
meet me at the booth
Quarter round two
give me all the colors
even dark blue
i’m surrounded by goons
and local tycoons
Ripping through your store
Like a typhoon
Afterlife
If there's an afterlife
in this life
Kind of hard to think
We gon' die
If there's an afterlife
You qualify
Sign on the line
Well the life I'm living
Is soul driven
I feel it through my bones
That's the earth giving
me the strength to provide
to point out citywide
all the faces and the places
That I used to run and hide
Hard to quantify
The times I wonder why
Sometime we say goodbye
Just so we can fly
To the outer limit
A white flash in minutes
how I envision
The colors through the prism
no longer thinking im invincible
When I’m older
No I need to be responsible
Now it's colder
I'm sensitive to the changes
Of the seasons
Like when you put me round strangers
Though it's dangerous
to stake a claim in this
My only aim in this life
to live each night right
And to the fullest
I cant stop a bullet
I just hope I did it right
When you start to pull it
Common kid
What have I become
I made a grave mistake
I can't run from
Let me bring it back
I was 19 years young
Traveling the path
Of the common kid
So what I did was real
Tell me how you feel
under your own parents, shadow
they put you in jeans
now you rocking their apparel
with dope tee and a hat to match
these are all metaphors
for putting clothes on your back
they even got a roof
That's living proof for you
But I rather run away
And say I flew the coop
these are the things we do
Ruffle feathers in nasty weather
We don’t know any better
I should grab an umbrella
Just a common kid
I don't know how to live
Through all my mistakes
I could never forgive
It don't matter
I decided for me
Rest assured
I didn't do it for free
I can’t be cheap
In my way of thinking
Now treading water
while my heart is sinking
filling up to the top
While my heartbeat drops
now I have my own place
But the landlord knocks
I got a new lease on life
though it renews in a year
hold onto yesterday
Because the new day is here
bipolar opposites
Hit by flying objects
The pipe has burst
flow of water can't stop it
Is there a reset button to press
May have to move back
During this duress
Everywhere I feel stress
From my own home
To my parents home
Got a call from the work phone
saying I should go home
Its affecting my performance
All of this is so enormous
So unfortunate
How low can things get
Im barely 21 but feel so depressed
I throw my hands up
What’s to come next
All I feel is anger
For real im quite vexed
