-- Lyrics --
Canada Heat - Getting hotter than a Panama Beach -
In a Canada Goose - speaking of Canada Beast
Who’s speaking Canada’s truth? Who’s standin for peace?
Live from the home of the slaves and the land that was thiefed
Lot of broken and lost souls on this planet of freaks
Supply and demand's the only commandment we preach
Each man is a brand, each night’s famine or feast
So we quote “I sell therefore I am” in these streets
The ppl is sick and nothing that a needle will fix
We need presence (presents), we just get receipts for the gifts
Playing God —We just got a cease and desist
When our own souls wish that we would cease to exist
We out of touch now
____
Too out of touch now
In the 6 like touchdown
I was tripping I just touched down
We out of touch now
My how we’ve come a long way
But it seems we’re headed in the wrong way
Hope we finally turn it around one day
Before It’s too late
____
Just touched ground now
How do we re-attach the roots?
I don’t mean no metaphor - I’m talking ‘bout these packaged foods
Mass-produced
Who’s the most impacted group?
Guess — we the Black and blue
Really it’s a question that connected to the facts and truth
land and plants and passionfruits
We got crashing moods, diseases, and other attributes
lack of direction from having no grasp of the past or future
Attitude is numb, plus we love to escape
We love entertainment - especially if its public disgrace!
No loving embraces and nothing is sacred
These public debates, discussions of late
No trust in the place
The drugs in the safe, the plug’s in the wall
And all that to say
The main cause of all of the suffering and hate?
___
We out of touch now
Too out of touch now
In the 6 like touchdown
I was tripping I just touched down
We out of touch now
My how we’ve come a long way
But it seems we’re headed in the wrong way
Hope we finally turn it around one day
Before It’s too late
And that’s the way that it goes
Oh Lord, I don’t know if I can take anymore
Got my hands in the air and my knees to the floor
Wanna reach out and touch something deep in my soul (X2)
We out of touch now
Too out of touch now
In the 6 like touchdown
I was tripping I just touched down
We out of touch now
My how we’ve come a long way
But it seems we’re headed in the wrong way
Hope we finally turn it around one day
Before It’s too late

Work (X4)
Looking for a job
Looking for a job man
They say that even Steve Jobs can’t
Find a machine that I could be a cog in
This is a problem
I’m trying to leave it in God’s hands
God’s plan
But even God’s fam
Was literally out on a limb
like God damn!
Looking for a job man
Looking for a job man
I heard theres too much supply
It’s like a log jam
Be your own boss then
Make your own lane
And don’t make an off-ramp
Or your gig goes offshore
As sure as that off-brand cough syrup
Put em in coffins
Like “peace”
No peace
Maybe I’ll sleep when I’m deceased
Maybe it’ll cease when I’m asleep
Maybe I should keep what I can keep
Talk is cheap
I should know—
Given I rap for what I eat
Everyone knows I could eat they food
But I need Insurance for my teeth
I need versatile
Personal
Income streams
That’s purposeful
Suckers work for money
You should make your money work for you
I can’t get no work though
Guess that means
That I got some work to do
The poor can’t afford to look poor
So I gotta make sure the shoes and shirt is new
Cuz I’m looking for a job
looking for a job man
They say that even Steve Jobs can’t
find a machine that I could be a cog in
This is a problem
Everybody knows
and nobody is solving
Somebody told me
Stop in the shop
And talk to the boss
Just on off-chance
Looking for a job man
Looking for a job man
I will do anything
I’ll get it popping
I need a hot dance
Popcaan
I need a pop jam
I need some Robyn
Dont need no off-hand comments
I need some rest on some soft sand
Peace
Im not a man
I am a work horse
I am a part of the work force
Im just not sure of the purpose or person I work for…
Maybe this voice inside
that keeps telling me work more
Hurt more
Perform
give up my wife and my first-born
Wait
I’m not a man
Not til I manage my estate
I am the output I create
After the info I intake
What If I’m fake?
What If I break?
What if my model’s obsolete
And gets tossed in a heap
And gets washed with the sheets
Wanna walk on the beach
And take off for a week
But I’m job seeking
Looking for a job
Looking for a job man
They say that even Steve Jobs can’t
Find a machine that I could be a cog in
This is a problem
I’m trying to leave it in God’s hands
God’s plan
But even God’s fam
Was literally out on a limb
like God damn!
Looking for a job man
Looking for a job man

-- Lyrics --
(Get in Touch)
How come he kilt it for no reason?
How come its always like cold season?
He just so sick
He got 2 degrees—
how come his flow is below freezing?
How come the lyrics approach genius
Still though he had to approach genius.com
Saying yall making dough off my lyrics
But won’t pay the broke genius that wrote em?
Parasites
How come you dont pay to clear the rights?
Or at least get the lyrics right
You’re a lyric site —
I said have me unverified
They said how come?
How can you not see the outcome?
Of a track record
You can’t outrun
All of these vultures
Thinking they’re fly
‘Cause the cloud’s
Where they get their clout from?
How come?
No reason
How come?
No reason
How come?
Ppl keep telling me
Preach bro
Low key been the ethos
Never needed all the ego
Never cheated
That’s my cheat code
How come he still such beast tho?
How come the sum doesn’t equal:
I mean theres only one of him
And there’s 3 of them
Still this goes like the Migos
Whoa, wait
wanna be great?
Gimme a break
You don’t put work in like
gimme a break!
How come I don’t make mistakes?
I just dont make mistakes
How come they fake?
Speaking of real/reel…
How come I did this on analog?
I just killed em all
now they got it on tape
That’s a mistake
How come?
No reason
How come?
No reason
How come?
I dunno
Dont ask me
I ask the questions
I’m passing the tests
They’re passive aggressive
I’m past being best
My passion’s obsessive
They’re asking me
How come?
I dunno
Dont ask me
I ask the questions
I always ask God
Why I have the blessings
He told me that I
have to bless them
No flexin
But I’m Mozart meets Omar
See me on Netflix with Ozark
I’m Rondo
Yeah the old guard
Rookies sit down
Still they don’t start with me
Gold bars
Gimme some credit
No gold cards
How come they
Calling me Joe Carter
Cuz so far
Who’s hitting
The dome harder?
Bro I dunno

-- Lyrics --
I can’t stand the storm (X16)
Hurricane in head
Whirlpool in my heart
Earthquake shakes my head
Richter scale’s off the chart
When Goddamn Job out that swirling whirling wind
Dude could only sob
How they helll have I sinned?
Oh Lord have mercy on me
I can't stand and my knees are so weak
I've been going for days and weeks
I just can'thandle no more on me
My shoulders are heavy
I can't stand the levy
It's all coming down on me
I need time to breathe
I need time to see
Where my life is really heading
Cuz I can't stand the storm...
My brain’s crinkled bad
The rain is drumming down
Wind blasts like a trumpet
Tempest is coming down
Drumstick hard
Raindrops hit
The heat wave freezes me
My blood ooze out sleazy
Self-evidently greasy
I can’t stand the storm (X16)
On strange terrain
prayin’ for a world
thats more tame
Their sources saying
all are from Abel or Cain
To say its ordained
Take in cold blood
And take the lord’s name
In veins that course
The same blue
As Pure flames
Poor skin marked
with shame
and war paint
And made to endure pain
Made to pour blood out
til the core’s drained
Now we spillin mud out
drains that stored rain
Dark clouds form
and the proud ignore claims
The crowds ignore warnings
We hate to force change
See I’m abroad planes
rides to foreign places
Drives to tour states
and eating off forks on
Plates thats gourmet
Makes me connect
The methane to the strain
That ate up Bourdain
same Hurricane on Houston shores
Whitney
Prince
and Cobain
Less is more sane
More names swallowed
by mine and your waves
The long lost always the cost of short gain
Long loss always the cost of short gain
Long loss always the cost of short gain
Dancing in the rain
Dancing in the rain
Too hot for me to chill
The Sahara’s a sirocco
Make a pillow a low pill
Rock N Roll gone rococo
Where can I find shelter?
I can’t stand the storm (X16)
The sky is full of drones
Aiming for me like I’m ISIS
Bad luck everywhere in the ozone
You know I’m in a crisis
The Arctic can’t be tropic
Not if you’re in love
Never is the weather just a topic
What’s below is what’s above
Who’s below is who’s above
I can’t stand the storm (X16)
Ain’t no tempest in a teapot
My troubles are steeped deep, deep
My tears cascade lava hot
I die when I drop asleep
I just die when I drop asleep
