lyrics

[8]
(Berd where you been?) I been chillin' in a daze,
Spending too long in the Land of Pulse and Haze,
Nothing in my brain but Wind and Shade,
Slicker than the Spade that was used to dig my grave,
When did I die? There ain't a lot to know,
But now I got the Thought and Flow that rocks the soul,
Rock the soul,
time is fleeting but eternal let the Heat and Clockwork burn you as it rocks the soul,
[16]
Berd where you been?
I've been tryna move forward, tryna make ends,
Let the story begin, it's just my life, played right,
Eight to three then four to ten's what the work day's like,
I'm just looking for that extra cheese,
life's like a pizza not concieved by birds and bees, but flour and yeast,
Once it's thrown into a hotter climate, on its own it rises,
I think that's near where I'm at, and I've only started climbin',
Fuck it, life is like a camera, what can I make of it,
I'll capture the good times and develop from the negatives,
I'm gonna need to focus if I wanna get a decent shot,
Tryna choose whether I wanna move along or keep a lot,
Life is like a taxi, the meter keeps on ticking,
Don't matter if you're moving forth or sitting, so keep living,
Life is like a box of chocolates, life is like a space ship,
Life's a gamble, life's a bitch, life is what you make it.

[interlude]
Did you miss me? (I been alright)
I don't know where I'm goin but I'm goin' there, is you comin' with me? (take my hand)
Up, up and away, hey,
Do you trust me? (I'm a good dude)
If I was on my last dollar, dead broke, ass out, would you love me? (would ya?)
Then it must be
A match made in heaven

Berd where you been? (I've been doing my thing)
Berd where you been? (tryna keep paper in my wallet)
Berd where you been? (whatever you wanna call it)
Berd where you been?

[16]
I've been tryna make my way up in this city of sin,
My drive is towards the paper, that's my mission again,
Climbing up the ladder often twisted my wrists,
As my life in this rat race prison begins,
For some time I almost entirely stopped with raps,
Wasn't wasting no time, that's how I got the cash,
Holdin' down two jobs and on top of that
I'm pushin, you wonder why I fell off the map?
Now I'm back for what's mine, Imma take it by force,
I am an unmanned apocalypse horse,
That totally lonely pony, with no horse shoes, no saddle,
The angry motherfucker who gon force you to battle,
But if you on my good side you got nothing to fear,
I don't know who Berd is but Eddie Nygma is here,
On some Jekyll and Hyde shit, best not to try shit,
And check your alliance or face a death by the irons,
[8]
(Berd where you been?) I've been living in a daze,
Mary Jane in flames, unquenched by Light and Rain,
Just a tadpole in the land of Frost and Frogs,
Who fell off my log tryna cross the bog,
But now I'll cross the road, you ought to know,
As I spit the Thought and Flow ya got to rock ya soul,
Rock the soul,
time is delicate and precious for the hell of it I'll let it go and rock my soul.

Berd where you been? (Not quite as wired in)
Berd where you been? (keeping my face low)
Berd where you been? (tryna escape, yo.)
Berd where you been?
