Mutations

by Grand Analog

on Survival (2019)

Let me get into my zone / time, forever takes toll
Explore roads I find gems in hidden scrolls
Rock shows expose gold / we lay low
You can find me in the city eating sushi cold rolls
Time / heavy on my mind these days
I let hope float and ride these waves
No time for hiatus, kill time with kindness
Dismantle my timeline and stimulate the paradigm
That's understanding microphone mathematics
Rapping fanatic on that slow flow status
Dagnabbit / headphones and a snapback
The long walk home makes it harder to back track
That's how I get, that's just how I get
A lonely vagabond vibing with the sunset
Yep – it don't stop ‘til the finals
Commit another foul just to get a timeout

I boom and I bang and I bang and I boom
This is the rhythm of a modern-day blues
The world keeps turning, burning
I'm going through changes (that's cool)
It's hard to define these days
I've got mountains to climb these days
So heavy on my mind these days
(Don't Scandalize Mine, I Spent Too Much Time)

Ok my day's on shuffle, got no time, whatever
Pieces of a dream I need to piece together
I get no peace I'm gone, I can't sleep it's stupid
Tossin' & turn, kick push like Lupe
Time as commodity / time as currency
Buy time, spend time, impossible to save time
I hold weight, still contemplating my day grind
I must be running on West Indian time
-tardy / pick it up, back where I started
Coming up from the bottom, late bloomer, heavy hearted
We all find the fault line apparent in the quarry
What takes a man far too long to say “sorry”
Ooh! It's so hot when the clock ticks
Time will negotiate, I'm just a humble hostage
I got this and it don't stop
I'm putting numbers on the board with no time on the clock

I boom and I bang and I bang and I boom
This is the rhythm of a modern-day blues
The world keeps turning, burning
I'm going through changes (that's cool)
It's hard to define these days
I've got mountains to climb these days
So heavy on my mind these days
(Don't Scandalize Mine, I Spent Too Much Time)

I watch the little hand and the big hand
Move me further from little boy to big man
Time to go to bed became time to pay the bills
So I spent time paying dues on rhymes to make a mill
Not for the bank account but for the plate, lyrical food
A discerning time in the lyrical debates
Candidate for top five scrutiny
Never made it in yet, my blend holds the mutiny
Paradise claimed any names I knew
We didn't get enough time before they left the crew
Lost some from growing up in the crime side, the New York time side
A sum from a health issue
So we left trying to get it until the clock ran out
15 mins of time for fame to sprout
And my name no doubt will stand amongst the best
With words detached from time to remain timeless

I boom and I bang and I bang and I boom
This is the rhythm of a modern-day blues
The world keeps turning, burning
I'm going through changes (that's cool)
It's hard to define these days
I've got mountains to climb these days
So heavy on my mind these days
(Don't Scandalize Mine, I Spent Too Much Time)
It's hard to define these days
Got mountains to climb these days
So heavy on my mind these days
(Don't Scandalize Mine, I Spent Too Much Time)
