[Verse 1]
He's so nebulous, reputation is everything
Myopic, forgot to see the forest for the oaks and
The maple leaves swingin' to the ground like the feather
In the Forest Gump opening credits, he wants to get it

So bad he sometimes forgets to be a fan first
What made him rap in the first place, that damn thirst
To publish verbal puzzles, between his herbal guzzles
Lookin' at the purple skies nightly in his blanket huddled

All he wanted was his self expression
Fell in love with hip hop and learned a bunch of lessons
Now he's tryin' to stay focused
But he's bound to be hopeless every time he hears that little chorus

Tellin' him he can't do it, screw it, Steve
Too many fish in the pond, why did you believe?
In the first place, prolly 'cause since my first race
I've been eyeing first place

I got a mind to push envelopes,
Feel my heartbeat in every kick, ears are the stethoscope
My biggest fear is to let my hopes fade
How about you? I got a feeling it's the same

[Chorus]
Sunrise, and sunset, we live then we die, then we go to bed
As depressing as it seems, at least we got to dream
Sunrise, and sunset, we live then we die, then we, go to bed
As depressing as it might seem, makes you never wanna fight dreams

[Verse 2}
Step one, sit down and write a verse
Step two, got a joint, hell I might as well go light it first
Permission granted for isolation participation
It's not the healthiest, God grant me emancipation

Try to tame Great Dane level temptation
Guess I'm afraid of being lost when I run out of patience
I'm just a young man getting older
Got a job and a hobby and a school diploma

So what I want when I wake
Is the same thing I wanted with my mom cooking steak
When I was little, a mansion by the ocean was her favorite
But lately I've been barely makin' paycheck to paycheck

Played it in the tape deck, Guru and Primus
And now the mic and me are like the blanket and Linus
Used to be a boyscout back when I was young
Then on to track and now I'm on the track attackin with my tongue

[Chorus]
Sunrise, and sunset, we live then we die, then we go to bed
As depressing as it seems, at least we got to dream
Sunrise, and sunset, we live then we die, then we, go to bed
As depressing as it might seem, makes you never wanna fight dreams

[Verse 3)
I got the vocal box with the locusts
My only hope is that I'll never ever lose focus
I go by Clinical, stop in to drop a miracle
I can be serious, and I can be hysterical

Wifey's an Aquarius, prolly cause I'm a marigold
Siphoning life from hearing her pipes when the Holy Spirit goes thru 'em
And I wake up to a voice so beauteous
One you'll get it why I said I rap for the two of us

In the meantime we'll go to skating rinks
And wonder if our future child is gonna have the sandy kinks
It doesn't really matter in the end, couldn't be gladder
Won't pretend I wasn't sadder in the past and that it won't last

That's the unpredictability of being human
You wanna last, you need agility, a proper view and
Tolerance of pain instead of hollerin' insane
Up in the parlor with the neck vains swellin' 'til you split your melon

[Chorus]
Sunrise, and sunset, we live then we die, then we go to bed
As depressing as it seems, at least we got to dream
Sunrise, and sunset, we live then we die, then we, go to bed
As depressing as it might seem, makes you never wanna fight dreams
