Welcome to my inner thoughts
Locked in, thoughts in a golden vault
Lakeside, thinking while I'm skipping rocks
And these eyes tell a story of a paradox
I came across a couple complications
The colour of the rainbow seems a little faded
We scared of the truth ‘cuz it's always naked
We eyes deep but, I just couldn't face it
(Questions)
Are we living a lie?
Reflections of ourselves like are we living to die?
(Questions)
Like, how you feeling inside?
It’s an everyday struggle, I'm just trying to survive
(Questions)
Like, are you happy or not?
My answer tends to change when I'm drinking a lot
(Questions)
Like how you feel in your heart?
Like, I don't really know, let me give it a thought
It's time to roll the herb
Think then I jot
I be thinking of her, like whether or not
And we killing the Earth, oh we making it hot
We just killing each other on the screens of our phones
Dying for attention, can't leave it alone
She's always online and hates being alone
And every time we go out, it’s like it’s all for the show
And then they tell you, you the man ‘cuz you got bottles and blow
And a couple Veuve Clicquot that comes with the hoes
Then its Uber to the after, oh you know how it goes
But the Sun was wide awake when you finally made it home
Just to realize that you was always alone
(Questions)
Ok, now welcome to my inner thoughts
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Ok, now welcome to my inner thoughts
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Ok, now welcome to my inner thoughts
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Ok, now welcome to my inner thoughts.

Nine years later, new game but same player
Same pen, with new paper but bringing a new flavour
You can say I got it ‘cause homie I never lost it
And yes, I keep it flowing like from water from your faucet
Of course, I’m fucking awesome, what the fuck is all this nonsense
Are we truly making progress in becoming better artists?
Fuck it anyways, I did it all regardless
I’m just another bee buzzing in the garden
Hit ‘em when that bass drop
(Ouh)
You know that I got that vibe
I just got my eyes on you
Tell me how you feel inside
Cause home is where the heart is
Homie, don't get me started
I dearly departed the notion of using logic
To focus on a project, to reach a higher conscious
Oh, just stop with that nonsense.
They don’t really fuck with me
(Ye, ye)
I had to get it on my own
They tryna put me in a box
(Ye, ye)
But they can never have my thoughts
They don't wanna to see me win
(Ye, ye)
But homie, I will never lose
I'm just tryna be the man
(Ye, ye)
But they will never understand
Shit is getting complicated
With all these stars and these consolations
They stuck in they shit like the constipated
But you gotta make moves if you wanna make it
So, I built a spaceship, so you haters couldn't say shit
Let’s face it, most of you rappers basic, tasteless, wasteless
Me and you not related
(Why?)
Cause these pockets are full of aces
Hit ‘em when that bass drop
(Ouh)
You know that I got that vibe
I just got my eyes on you
Tell me how you feel inside
The levels to reach are higher
A Johnny Cash desire
Now enter the ring of fire
And your soul they will acquire
Unless you walk the line
But we be running out of time, like
They don’t really fuck with me
(Ye, ye)
I had to get it on my own
They tryna put me in a box
(Ye, ye)
But they can never have my thoughts
They don't wanna to see me win
(Ye, ye)
But homie, I will never lose
I'm just tryna be the man
(Ye, ye)
But they will never understand

Pain Feat. Lea Keeley
04:25
|

Walking in no direction
Just seeking for affection
While others seek perfection
Through a lens that seem neglected
I forgot to pay attention
Never listened to lessons
Now I'm stuck here seconded guessing
And everybody stressing
Cause, uh
I haven't seen ‘em in awhile
That’s why I never really smile
My head is stuck up in the clouds
And I don’t feel like coming down
Frozen hearted all alone
Lately I don't feel at home
These shadows always follow me
And everywhere I choose to go
Welcome to my train of thought
There's something that you need to know
That lately I’ve been seeing shit
Got me feeling delusional
She’s crazy but she beautiful
Relationship is complicated
Inner self is devastated
I don’t think I’ll ever make it
Out of here alive
They told me no never cry and hold my feelings inside
The reasons I'm getting high.
You could never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
The more I go the harder it gets
We moving mountains
These feelings are as hard as they get
But who was counting?
The rose petals that fell on the floor that no one wanted
I picked them all up and then I made it into something
Never needed your assumptions
Never asked you for nothing
But lately I've been on my own
Walking through the mountain
In the snow my heart is frozen cold
Feelings that only you could know
Believe me that I know them well
Brought my demons to show n tell
But no one ever noticed
That my life was out of focus
So, they took the picture anyway
The rain washed all my tears away
I’m numb with nothing left to say
Waiting for them better days
It’s always more or less the same
‘Cuz you will never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
Skipping through the pages
Seeking the final chapter
I can see it in they faces that
They don’t got the answer
My life started to desolate
With senses that I can't escape
Assuming that you could relate
Or we can leave it up to faith
I'm just really hoping that you can see
That I opened up my heart for you truthfully
So, let's have a conversation just you and me
Then she looked into my eyes so painfully
You could never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
You could never feel my pain
Never feel my pain
Never feel my pain

You keep falling away from me
You keep falling away from me
You keep falling away from me
You keep falling away from me
Ok, I'm never really satisfied
I feel stagnant, whole body paralyzed
Kept looking, but couldn't find the paradigm
But don't worry homie, I be doing fine
This shit is introspective
(Facts)
But lately I feel neglected
Or maybe I’m just tripping on visions of my perceptions
I chose to write rhymes instead of choosing electives
But, you see that was my choice
Chose to do me so I can use my voice
Spread some love, so I can speak my mind
Hold on, let's do this one more time
One more time for your mind
(Word up)
Two more times for your soul
(They know)
One more time for your mind
(Word up)
Two more times for your soul
(They know)
I just wanna chill kick back and just smoke my weed
(Smoke my weed)
With some real good friends on the real, oh that's all I need
(It’s all I need)
With the music real loud like, we tryna stay alive
(Stay alive)
When the bass kicks in like uh,
Do you feel that vibe?
I just want to know, can you hold me down?
My heart belongs to you, can you show me how?
I just want to know, can you hold me down?
My heart belongs to you, can you show me how?
Vision all blurry, oh we all in a hurry
I hear the birds chirping but its only six thirty
The night passes by, but the streets are still dirty
In a concrete jungle, where you won't find mercy
Won't find no love just a whole lot of worries
And my heart made of stone, so no, you can't hurt me
Walking through the valley of death, oh what a journey
Here to see the sunrise but got here to early
No reflections in the pond, cause the water to murky
Complicated complex, tryna build a concept
These words are all I got so don't take them out of context
Like, how do you define the times that your running out of time
When they ask you how you doing?
And you say you doing fine
But they look into your eye, and they know that’s it a lie
But they'll never ever, ever truly know how you feeling inside
So, I tell ‘em, turn the music up so I can feel alive.
I just want to know, can you hold me down?
My heart belongs to you, can you show me how?
I just want to know, can you hold me down?
My heart belongs to you, can you show me how?
Time from time we can't rewind what's in the pass, baby
Even though I can't let go, you got me going crazy
You keep falling away from me
You keep falling away from me
You keep falling away from me
You keep falling away from me

No More Love Letters
02:48
|

So like? What are we really doing?
I mean I don't understand, I don't really wanna talk to him, but I do.. you know?
I ain't writing no more love letters
Like, I swear that I can do better
I just thought that we were forever
Taken by storm, then I lost her in the cold weather
But she’s in my heart regardless
We seeking for the light, but mostly only found the darkness
Emotions on my sleeve, just to show you I ain't heartless
We could have bloomed together like these flowers in the garden
But I already told you, I ain't writing no more love letters
I guess my pen is running out of ink
My love is something that you can't measure
So, go on, tell me what you really think
We can talk about anything
Let's stimulate the moment
Focus on what important, like this lust is hella potent
Got me filling up these pages, writing pass the margin
I'm going through these phases while my speakers bumping Marvin
They ask me why I'm sensitive, I tell ‘em I’m an artist
Take it how you want to take it, I’m just being honest
The first time I wrote to her, she ain't never write back
Wrote her a second letter, ask her why she’s being like that
Said that she’s falling in love, explained she had to fight that
Because of prior history, and shit she shouldn't take back
Asked me for a favor, not to write her again
She said that we couldn't be lovers, she just rather be friends
I ain't writing no more love letters
Like I swear that I can do better
I just thought that we were forever
Taken by storm, then I lost her in the cold weather
But she’s in my heart regardless
We seeking for the light, but mostly only found the darkness
Emotions on my sleeve, just to show you I ain't heartless
We could have bloomed like these flowers in the garden, but…

Hold On Feat. Lea Keeley
03:34
|
|||
Hold on
I'm just trying to make it here
I took a moment for my myself so I can make it clear
I got dreams of a million dollar chandelier
Failure’s my only fear, and I will never disappear
Memories and souvenirs, views from the belvedere
Shout to my engineer, it's been one hell of a year
(Ok)
From Montreal to Paris, Portugal to Tokyo then ended up in Seoul
Sorry I've been busy but, I've been on the road
With pen and paper, writing music on the go
Oh, and no you can't stop me
From the home of the Maple Leaf, and where we play hockey
With frozen cold winters where, some of us are born sinners
And others are born killers, that bang like gorillas
I’m a real go getter, with dreams of Coachella
And hella mo' cheddah, I just don't know no better, like
You can never stop my grind
You can never stop my grind
Ima take what's mine
Ima go and take what's mine
I think that I lost my
That I lost my mind
I think that I lost my mind,
Cause we be wasting so much time
I think that I lost my mind
Cause we be wasting so much time
Time is all we have, to make these moments last
Too caught up in the moment
There’s nothing left holding me back
Too caught up in the moment
There’s nothing left holding me back
Homie just wait a minute
Read between the lines, I promise the truth in it
Like I'm just here to set it straight
Write it down and ventilate
Smoke a little and mediate
I’m hoping that you would relate
To pictures that I illustrate
Words that I orchestrate
Emotions that I emulate
And moments that I recreate
Ok homie you can watch me break it down
I just need a little soul up in my sound
If you didn't know, well now you know me now
I was searching for something I never found
On the yellow brick road, where the journey is cold
That I promise my heart froze in a blizzard with no snow
Like, I'm just trying to hold on
I'm just trying to hold on
I'm just trying to hold on
I think that I lost my mind,
Cause we be wasting so much time
I think that I lost my mind
Cause we be wasting so much time
Time is all we have to make these moments last
Too caught up in the moment
There’s nothing left holding me back
Too caught up in the moment
There’s nothing left holding me back
We just tryna hold on
Hold on to what we got
Hold on to what we know
And hold on to what we love

L. Teez Montreal, Québec
My inspiration finds its roots from many different aspects of life: our daily lives, emotions, and those little moments we
all live through which are experienced differently from one individual to the next.
Anything that has the capability to make us feel, negative or positive, drives me to tell a story or to make the listener understand a certain emotion or moment through my words & poetry.
