Lyrics:
I was thinking about her, visiting the past
Reconstructing details with old photographs
I was studying the faces with an objective point of view
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me
At the time you couldn't tell me that one day I'd be glad
That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted
She had another lover, she emphatically denied
But they were doing me a favor, a blessing in disguise
If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
I watch you sleeping, your body touching me
There's no doubt about it, this is where I want to be
You know it's so ironic, I had to lose to win
I want to thank her, thank her again
If she would've been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
It's a paradox full of contradiction, how I got from there to here
It defies a logical explanation
If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
Yeah, uh
I thought you said you'd never leave
I think back as I took a puff
Know what happens every time you wanna leave
Always come back 'cause you wanna fuck
Always come back 'cause you wanna fuss
Holdin' back, ain't no turnin' back when you fall in love
Know what happens every time you speed
Always fall flat 'cause you wanna rush, huh
So we could take it slow
Separate the highs from the lows
Separate the evens from the odds
I just hope you put me back together when I come apart
I come apart, and you keep it together
I come apart, and I can't stand the pressure
In all your grace and favor for me, that I cannot compare
I come apart, this can't last forever
Can't last forever, can't last forever
I woke up today high
Felt a little less pressure from you
And I'm here to say I
Maybe even learned a lesson from you
If you find a way to fight the pain which we endure
If you fly away then rest assured
I come apart, and you keep it together
I come apart, and I can't stand the pressure
In all your grace and favor for me, that I cannot compare
I come apart, this can't last forever
Can't last forever
You're the eye, but I'm tearing all the time
Always there to catch me, but I'm never coming down
Reconstructing all the pieces I left in my way
I guess you know, in control
Chaos I create
I come apart
You made a bet with me, now you're in debt with me
Made my bed, lied in it, then you slept with me
It's ruthless, she the closest thing next to me
The truth is, that she blew it and you left with me
Especially hard to express to me
European attitude but born in West Philly
She just have a smokin' 'gina, where the Wet Willies?
If I could be thirteen again
To live with no regret
When I could still be president
And I could feel my dad
As he's holding me in his arms
Not in my dreams
And I could not wait to be
Something at twenty-three
But now I've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a stunning, blazing, so amazing
Now
Now, now, now, now, now, now
From here love looks so effortless
The simple used to do
Grass never feels as green, I guess
Underneath our shoes
Let's you and me and CNN
Flip the switch, go back again
I wonder who we'd see
Reflecting from our TV
Now we've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a stunning, blazing, so amazing
Now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Right now, right now, right now, yeah, ooh
The reconstructing you can do
With scissors and a little glue
And leave what's left to decorate the ground
Rediscovering your bliss
Is the sweetest part of this
(This) Is all we need
Right now we've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back, why look back, why look back
Right now we've got the sun,
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a stunning, blazing, so amazing
Now we've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a so amazing
Now
Now, now, now now now, now
Right now
Now, now, now now now now
Right now, right now
Right now, right now, right now, right now
Uh, a hundred hours of balsam and cedar
Await who follow the leader, who ain't just follow procedure, I'm saying
I'm saying I was called to the ether, via receiver
Not a piece of me is drawn to the theater
I was drawin' and painting, recording songs in my bedroom
Stuff I could never have conjured inside some alternate venue
When you was all in together, I wasn't comfortable ever
And ultimately my value became the sum of these demos
They're like my sons and my daughters
Even the ones that were lemons
Even the hundreds of sketches that ushered nothin' but messes
When you was asking 'bout touring, I get the crux of the question
It's just the bulk of the answer is of another dimension
If I close my eyes and think of reconstructing a essence
That isn't functional at present, I can't fuck with the premise
It's like the act itself would almost undercut the intention
If I show up for attendance, I'm just unplugging the message
Tell me somethin', what's a sheep when everyone is a shepherd?
Talk about it, be about it
You ain't been doing it so don't start
Matter of fact keep it moving
When it's on, accumulate like cancer cells
With advanced shells, leave a snitch dead
Son he can't tell
Like a Viking we striking
Reconstructing maps planting QB flags
Son we want to visualize picture
Analyze, situate another Bellevue patient
A cardiac arrest state of mind
You must be out your motherfucking mind
Put you out of misery, short your lifetime
Expectancy, didn't even reach twenty-three
First class shot, special delivery
No doubt you wanna leave before
You wet your own crib
Talk out the ass at your own risk
And won't give one fuck
Two mysterious Chevy trucks
Filled with black cats, crossing your path
That's bad luck
Everyone has a destiny, so we destine
To make the best outta life, crime connection
Yo, I send shots to any
Man who come too close
Niggas get fold like a letter
Then shipped across coast
Who goes to go against
My militant crime militia?
West coast legendary
Organized family business
Here we go baby
Come and take another verbal assault
That's just who I am, I ain't nobody's fault (it ain't your fault)
History books, I knew the consequence
No use in reconstructing my environment
Right in the search, discover the state of my soul
P.O.D. and Suicidal that's how we roll (that's how we roll)
Never silent, always something to say
It's in our blood, California
Yeah, it's all good
And it's alright
You wanna ride it, ain't no thang, that's just how we play
(All day) yeah, it's all day (all night) and it's all night (it's alright)
Coming up in the streets of California
(All good) man it's all good (alright) and it's alright (it's alright)
You wanna ride it, ain't no thang, that's just how we play
(All day) hey, it's all day (all night) and it's all night (it's alright)
We're coming up in the streets of California
All day
All night
Alright
All day
All night
Take a stand for the knee and your Nikes still creasin'
I let it all fall apart then I took the pieces
Reconstructing everything I once believed in, yeah
We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service
Whose eyes are blind and feelings all but numb
Whose ears are also deaf and mouth is dumb
This is the way, is the way
I fill your spaces now
It's the way, it's the way
Cause all that's been left for me
Is to fight to fill these empty spaces now
Nigh t is day and day is night again
And all that's eating bites with toothy grins
The pages of my memory torn in twain
Where reconstructing lies could not contain
This is the way, is the way
I fill your spaces now
It's the way, it's the way
Cause all that's been left for me
Is to fight to fill these empty spaces now
Continually experimenting with new ideas and techniques
Reconstructing
Developing
Modernising
I believe, I believe
In progress, in progress
Machines will do the heavy work
Men will supervise the machines (I believe in progress)
You owe much to these machines (I believe in progress)
Horsepower, not manpower (I believe in progress)
Brains, not brawn (I believe)
I believe, I believe
In progress, in progress
I believe, I believe
In progress, in progress
These men look the same as they have always looked
They talk as they have always talked
But before your eyes they are changing
(I believe in progress)
(I believe in progress)
(I believe in progress)
(I believe in progress)
I believe, I believe
In progress, in progress
I believe, I believe
In progress, in progress
I believe, I believe
In progress, in progress
I believe in progress
My Black Life Matters, but I thought that was a given
Some of y'all don't get it
You'd rather turn away 'cause you got that privilege
We're fightin', dyin', pleadin', tryin' to get y'all to listen
Help us seek justice, reconstruct the system
Help us seek justice, and reconstructing the system
Help us seek justice, reconstruct the system
Help us seek justice, and reconstructing the system
On the bathroom floor
Sat reconstructing
I went to buy super glue at four a.m.
On the bathroom floor
Sat reconstructing
You looked better when you were whole
I was never good at puzzles
I'm about to break the beat (break it)
Make the rhythm incomplete (yeah)
Then rebuild it with my heat (hot)
Watch me turn it to a feast (feast)
Breaking the beat, reconstructing sound waves in my sleep (break)
Breaking the beat, going deeper than the ocean's deep (deep)
Breaking the beat, making melodies that make you weep (cry)
Breaking the beat, then I'm stacking profits in a heap (stack)
Breaking the beat, I'm a surgeon with the 808s (surgeon)
Breaking the beat, turning haters into full debates (debate)
Breaking the beat, this is art beyond your simple taste (art)
Breaking the beat, I'm the future, you can't keep my pace (fast)
I deconstruct the rhythm, tear it down to basic parts (deconstruct)
Then reconstruct a masterpiece, that's called musical arts (art)
Breaking every pattern that existed in the game (break)
Creating new dimensions, I refuse to stay the same (new)
My production revolutionary, call me Edison of sound (Edison)
Breaking the beat so hard it shakes the underground (shake)
Then building it back up until it touches up the sky (build)
Breaking the beat's my super power, watch me fly (fly)
Breaking the beat, reconstructing sound waves in my sleep (break)
Breaking the beat, going deeper than the ocean's deep (deep)
Breaking the beat, making melodies that make you weep (cry)
Breaking the beat, then I'm stacking profits in a heap (stack)
Breaking the beat, I'm a surgeon with the 808s (surgeon)
Breaking the beat, turning haters into full debates (debate)
Breaking the beat, this is art beyond your simple taste (art)
Breaking the beat, I'm the future, you can't keep my pace (fast)
Watch me snap the snare, flip the hi—hats, switch the tempo up (switch)
Breaking the beat till the speakers and the venue erupt (erupt)
I'm an innovator, never following the status quo (innovate)
Breaking the beat just to show you something you don't know (show)
The bass line heavy, melody celestial and clean (heavy)
Breaking the beat's how I paint my auditory scene (paint)
Nobody touching my precision when I craft a song (nah)
Breaking the beat, making rights out of every wrong (right)
Break it down (down)
Build it up (up)
That's my sound (sound)
Can't get enough (nah)
Breaking the beat, reconstructing sound waves in my sleep (break)
Breaking the beat, going deeper than the ocean's deep (deep)
Breaking the beat, making melodies that make you weep (cry)
Breaking the beat, then I'm stacking profits in a heap (stack)
Off—Grid But Here (break)
Beat's awaking (wake)
New sound I'm making (make, let's go)
I'm tryna roll up," get in my zone
I'm gone (I'm gone), I'm gone (I'm gone), I'm gone (I'm gone)
I'm gone (I'm gone), I'm gone (so gone), I'm gone (I'm gone)
I gotta thank the weed man, decompressing the day
Got me reconstructing my life how I want to see it, I play out
Blow my problems away way before I go blow my brains out
Medicate then I meditate, make a way out, no way now
Ain't never been this high, I'm out of space, it ain't no way down
Gravity ain't got shit on a bitch
I gotta thank the strippers
Sometimes we all be tripping, in need of release in tension
Suspension of iller feelings and frustrations we be dealing
No, baby, I ain't cheating, please come with me if you feel it
We need some reconnecting, the energy's misdirected
The chakras is disconnected, align me floor to ceiling
I gotta thank the liqour, remind me I don't need her
Every day that I wake up, my head is busting with fever
Poured out for my niggas, remind me the Lord is with us
Took shots with some gorgeous bitches
Time traveled in my sleep
I gotta thank the poison, whatever that it may be
One day you're here, can't stay too long, next day I'm gone
Told the plug, "What's the hold up?
Cracking skulls, tearing flesh. have another heart attack. send 'em in, send 'em in, why don't you try pushing all the goddamn buttons. maybe just one of them will suffice. go back to the golf course. if the shoe fits, fuck it. confidence minimally confirmed, the more unsuspecting conclusions occur. self model shoe-switching correlation may be dyslexic. folded and removed, all signs of any research. 2 + 2 not equal to 4, hours and hours of frequency tampering. not to mention variables, reconstructing codes of silence. when flies ate men, the procrastinating never started.
It's far too hot to be feeling like this
Yeah, I should have stopped but I saw your name
Not the same as the shape of your fake one
Now I'm weak at the knees
No ceremonies
Got a conch for a concrete brain
I've got ashes for dreams
I've got somewhere to be
I saw your name
I saw your name
And it stopped me in the middle of the thought of reconstructing my tracks
Apparently I can't do that
I left my wallet in your iris
I've been sleeping in a nest of your hair
I spent so much time there
Shaken and shocked through a season's abyss
Fake hearted fox
Cheap lemonade on display
Spend your days in the cafe
Now I'm king of the scene
No telling on me
Shake your demons and stay contained
I've got ashes for dreams
I've got somewhere to be
But it's not the same
And it stopped me in the middle of the thought of reconstructing my tracks
Apparently I can't do that
I left my wallet in your iris
I've been sleeping in a nest of your hair
I spent so much time there
I saw your name
I saw your name
I saw your name
I saw your name
It’s her last great attempt
She gives the man a smile
Reassuring, calculating
Acclimating, reconstructing by design
They say it’s useless to start
You’ll get carried away
You know you better than them
Just keep it alive
They say it’s senseless to start
You light down on this day.
I started ten wars
Let them run their course
Need this world more dire
I'll start ten more fires
Rearranging lives
Preparing for the next blight
We're assessing the price
But there's no reconstructing time
We're accepting bribes
A little cash on the side
In the wake of their crimes
Not much left to save and
No real reasons why
The dust has settled
The pain is clear
But in the silence
I found my way here
Pieces broken
Scattered on the ground
I'll rebuild it all
From what's left to be found
I'm rising from the ashes
It's my time
I'm building something real
I'll make it mine
No more shadows
No more chains
I'll rise above the past
And break these reins
I'm rebuilding
Brick by brick
With every step
I'm getting thick
Through the storm
I'll find my light
Reconstructing all my life
Piece by piece, I'll fight
What was lost
Now it's reborn
I'll take the broken
And make it whole again
Every scar a story that I tell
The strength within me
It's hard to quell
I'm rising from the ashes
It's my time
I'm building something real
I'll make it mine
No more shadows, no more chains
I'll rise above the past
And break these reins
I'm rebuilding
Brick by brick
With every step
I'm getting thick
Through the storm
I'll find my light
Reconstructing all my life
Piece by piece
I'll fight
The walls I've built
They'll stand so tall
I'll rise above it
No matter how I fall
Through the fire
I'll be renewed
With every breath
My soul's been hewn
I'm rebuilding
Piece by piece
This is my rise
My own release
Don't let go, Kip
Helen, what's the matter
Danger, Kip
They wanna kill you
They'll take the spaceship and they'll make me
Perfect
She just wanna spend all night dancing on me
I'm just gon' spend all night counting money
She want the finer things, not from me
She want designer rings, not from me
She just wanna spend all night dancing on me
I'm just gon' spend all night counting money
She want the finer things, not from me
She want designer rings, not from me
It's funny how my lane just cleared up
This a horror movie, don't fear us
We got action too, how I'm clappin' through
Lights and action, camera too
Playing 2K on camera two, that's a cheat code
How I'm jammin' through
See me in the Nipsey, favorite color blue
Taste the freshness cause my Mountain Dew
Fell in love on a avenue, on a avenue, on a avenue
It's crazy when I say something and it always get back to you
Being independent, you don't need no help
I ain't goin' to trip, I ain't mad at you
But if you talking bout me, just let me know
I ain't goin' to trip, I ain't mad at you
Wait
I'm on the news
My Tommy gun with me, I opted to cruise
I like when it rain with the tropical views
We out here just grindin', you opted to snooze
She really don't like when I douse her with booze
That's the real way you will tell me the truth
No S on my chest, so my cape in the booth
Turn to a beast, a mutation or two
She askin' what's current, I tell her the flows
I like when she naked, she strikin' a pose
I'm tryna see what's up under her clothes
My lady just tagged me, goddammit, I froze
My flow get so cold, we get ice in the berg
We comin' like ASAP, no Rocky or Ferg
I know where to feel to be kicked to the curb
Keep making mistakes, cuz you live and you learn
My fever on high, so my temperature burn
Growing my life, check the inches I earned
I'm reconstructing some bridges I burned
Your love was a book, so them pages I burned
Not missing my shine, well here go my turn
She ask where I'm at, that's not your concern
We fell out of love, you messed up your turn
I'm reconstructing some bridges I burned
Baby, all I got is me, it's perfect
Baby, all I got is me, it's perfect
Baby, all I got is me, it's perfect
Tell me, was it worth it
She just wanna spend all night dancing on me
I'm just gon' spend all night counting money
She want the finer things, not from me
She want designer rings, not from me
She just wanna spend all night dancing on me
I'm just gon' spend all night counting money
She want the finer things, not from me
She want designer rings, not from me
A shattered world held within our hands
We weave a future where love understands
A maze of light where our meeting begins
Parallel hearts write their story again
Reconstructing parallel love we dream
An endless universe where hope redeems
No boundaries no end just what we create
You and I building our intertwined fate
Resonating feelings rhythms aligned
Horizons expand with your hand in mine
Through layers of fear breaking through above
Crafting new worlds from the light of our love
In every memory your voice remains
Every choice leads me to your domain
Breaking the future weaving the now
A world reborn with love showing us how
Reconstructing parallel love we dream
An endless universe where hope redeems
No boundaries no end just what we create
You and I building our intertwined fate
Through the void together we ascend
No beginning no need for an end
Parallel hearts entwined as they sing
A symphony of love everlasting
Through the void together we ascend
No beginning no need for an end
Parallel hearts entwined as they sing
A symphony of love everlasting
Through the void together we ascend
No beginning no need for an end
Parallel hearts entwined as they sing
A symphony of love everlasting
All I dream are the books I read
All I want is to disappear into a shared memory
How are you reading me out
What makes you come back in here
Reconstructing me
Are we drifting apart
Are we building walls
Sharing story lines
Can we find the words
Can we break the code
Artificial love
Don't want to be a character
Just passing through in one of your
Little fantasies
You'll probably disagree
But I'm the one you're gonna kiss and tell
And than you'll kick me out
Are we drifting apart
Are we building walls
Sharing story lines
Can we find the words
Can we break the code
Artificial love
All I want is to disappear
In a novel we both believe
A made up memory
To remember you and me
Fictitious story
Building reality
All I want is to disappear
Into a shared memory
How are you reading me out
What makes you come back here
Reconstructing me
Are we drifting apart
Are we building walls
Sharing story lines
Can we find the words
Can we break the code
Artificial love
All I want is to disappear
In a novel we both believe
A made up memory
To remember you and me
Fictitious story
Building reality
All I want is to disappear
All I want is to disappear
I have no time for musicality
Definitely no patience for your pleasantries
Not when we could both be high as fucking hell
Reconstructing this shithole reality
By simultaneously nodding off into nowhere
I just wanna give in
I just wanna live
The life of the bitch infamous
Even if I have to kill to get it
And it would work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
I'll do the line
If just out of spite
And I'll be fucking amped up for days
I never want to sleep ever again
For if I sleep
It means I have to wake
And I don't want to be woke
So just read me my rights
And put me away
Put this old dog down
Don't torture me another day
I'll go insane
I feel so cruel
I feel so unusual
And you're so fucking cool
You're body's so usable
I'll use your body when I can't fuck a junkie
I'll use your throat to choke
Let's smoke
You brought the rope I hope
The bars closed and I'm so lonely
So hungry
So I grind
My meat
I grind
Your meat
I grind
My meat
I grind
Your meat
Such a healthy meal
Such a healthy girl
No rest for the wicked
But rest assured
That if I could I would fuck the entire world
The bombs are all ready
Just say the word
And I'll steal a page from Kaczynski's manifesto
I think I can make it work
Consider this my audio manifesto
I got mine
Now you get yours
Suck on this my audio manifesto
I'm gonna make you work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
Get down on your knees and work
[Intro]
Digital ghosts in my machine
Fragments of you, corrupted clean
Stole your soul on a hard drive
Now I watch it fade and dive
[Verse 1]
Daddy's beats from underground
Portuguese waves hit the ground
Files degrading day by day
But I won't let them slip away
Breaking down the binary wall
Watching memories rise and fall
Your voice glitching through the years
Bass dropping through my fears
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with your demons tonight
Reconstructing pieces that don't feel right
Every break, every glitch, every fade
Is a moment of you I tried to save
Fuck the system, I'll keep you alive
In waves of sound that never die
This is my rebellion, this is my fight
To keep your rhythm burning bright
[Verse 2]
Underground beats still persist
Through the static and the mist
Your collection slowly burns
As every broken file returns
Haunted by the choice I made
When I watched your music fade
But in this darkness we create
A new sound to celebrate
[Bridge]
Breaking down, breaking through
Building something wild and new
From the ashes of your drive
Keep your spirit still alive
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with your demons tonight
Reconstructing pieces that don't feel right
Every break, every glitch, every fade
Is a moment of you I tried to save
Fuck the system, I'll keep you alive
In waves of sound that never die
This is my rebellion, this is my fight
To keep your rhythm burning bright
[Outro]
Digital ghosts never sleep
In this bass line running deep
Your legacy won't fade away
While your daughter makes it slay
Reconstructing Heart
To work at good
When we're apart
To laugh and smile
To shield a heart
That deconstructs
From hour to hour
And reinvents
Just like a flower
That's weathered by
The storms and sun
Of battles lost
And battles won
I won't deny
It is an art
To live while
Reconstructing heart.
