Knowmads - Days Past lyrics

(We don't read and write poetry because
It's cute we read and
Write poetry because we are members
Of the human race)

(PEPE) well as a seed I used to walk
Beneath the trees found myself in
The fall with the rest of the
Autumn leaves who called me
By my name and never stopped and
Asked my heart if I really
Wanted to spend my time chilling
In the dark and shit i grew up with smiling
Clouds and happy simples
Found my way to reality scowling
Through the window he
Said "most just take the path and truly
Fail to comprehend so they
Left amongst the rubble
When they stepped into the lions den"
Shit I ain't tryna be another
Rich executive id rather
Walk the world and watch
A couple records spin
So I been roaming my society
For clues while all I
Hear is the good ole days and bad news
Now it ain't much of a story
Let alone a happy ending
The dragon took the princess and
I went and got suspended
With tears running clear for the years
Of trust i broke and
I got five days of silence
Floating in the marijuana smoke
My school of thought taught me
How to breath air i
Sit back and reminisce but who
The fuck cares really
Cause every gem I ever chased
Kids loved the and said
They felt the same and left be to be ironic
My sisters off in college and my brothers up
In preschool and I'm just tryna act hard
Live smart and be cool
To play round made me aware of all
I do and i got scars
Up in my brain and missing teeth
Cause they ain't true like
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust if you
Ain't got that then you ain't got much

Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust if you
Ain't got that then you ain't got much

(JESTER) now my story it starts with a
Fake smile, an empty nod, no
Handshake or makeshift style, just a hundred
Percent is who I be
This lonely motherfucker whispering into
The breeze my youth
I never said much, just observed
From every single angle held my ear to the
Curb so I heard that native tongue
That originated from the streets
Adopted a name
To place over these here beats
And now I hear 'em like a metronome
Tickin' through dysfunctionalities that'll
Be until
I'm grown my brother struggled most his
Life and moms is losing it
While my pops is on the edge and
My sisters on some high school shit
Misfitted in the paradox view I'm
Mixing in to the trend in to discovering you
Even if they don't
Carry a style of what you want we all
Envisioned inscribed our path with a new font
I got a deck that connects
To my character with empty
Two faces that sit and they stare at ya
They fight my demons and chase
The girls they stay moving
While I'm just kicking it
With solidarity and grooving
I'm doing, what I feel I got to do
To erase hella cobwebs
And face the bloody truth, behind alcoholic
Bloodlines and what I'm tracing
Stealing each breath so I
Can reach my destination

Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust if you
Ain't got that then you ain't got much
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust if you
Ain't got that then you ain't got much

(WILSON) well it all began in preschool or
Maybe it was kindergarten when
The teacher became a devil and
Gave me a sinners pardon
My heart hardened and then I buried
Her up in the children′s garden
But the next day I departed
Cause high school had started
With music class I will jet
Fast and pass on that
I already can play guitar I
Wanna learn how to rap
But there you know interest and
Cutting me any slack
So I found my own entrance
And started cutting class now
With only two a day, who could say
I wasn't the coolest K
Only fourteen and thoughts of moving yay
But that′s not the path that
I wanted to go down
So for now I just stuck to
Old weed and smoke outs but, I knew my teen
Thoughts just wouldn't last
And it all changed when I
Had a thousand in cash
And I shoulda done what I
Would've done in the past
But instead I wanted to make
Even more money fast now
You will never catch me without a frozen nose
Until one day my good friend overdosed
As he lay with an open nose
Still doing the rope-a dope
All because of a gram line of some bogus coke
Then the next day somebody ratted on me
So the police grabbed me instead
Of approaching me calmly
But, I had nothing on me so
They had to let me go
And to this day I will never
Walk down that same road
Ain′t going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain′t got that then you ain't got much
Ain′t going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain′t got much
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain′t got that then you ain't got much
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain′t got that then you ain′t got much

And some days pass and some days rain
And some days I wait until the sun
Break to see if the sun stays
And some days pass and some days rain
And some days I wait until the sun
Break to see if the sun stays
And some days pass and some days rain
And some days I wait until the sun
Break to see if the sun stays
And some days pass and some days rain
And some days I wait until the sun
Break to see if the sun stays
