You ever feel like you're too busy? This track reflects those moments.

lyrics

(Verse)
Thinking bout my parents
It got me sitting here staring
Glaringly in a fantasy
Hands on me while I’m steering

Ignition keeps clicking, so is the engine
I’ve got to fix what’s wrong before it’s a tin can

Reached the peak of the canyon
The green’s increasing tanning
There goes another moment to rip out my hair and tear it

It’s easy to twist up in these emotions
It’s cool when you can process them with the right devotion

I drop that in there
Slip it in like a token

I used to be so numb
Sippin’ and smokin’
Had to let it go
Fro-zen

Tuning my transmission up
Gotta know when to shift that
Can’t have it just spraying on me

I’m that guy with the book bag
In the book bag where the books at
Big book stack with a road map

Even it’s its weight is hefty

Home with the gold clock
I’m that bunny with the big watch
Hoppin’ around to the hilltop

Why must I be always tardy

(Chorus)
Gotta go

Busy

Gotta go too busy

Gotta go too busy

Gotta go busy

Gotta go

Busy

Gotta go too busy

Gotta go too busy

Gotta go

busy

(Verse)
Fixed my engine now I’m whippin’
Gave a tip to the technician
Never wishing they find their business slow

Focusing on healing and working on how I’m dealing yo

Family asking me for a visit
But I ain’t even fold my clothes
I ain’t even check my phone yet
I ain’t even make it home yet

Hey Q, when you gonna visit?

I don’t even know yet.

They be acting like traveling across the country is no sweat

I just wanna make a whole check
I don’t even wanna own a rolex

Then I feel the milk is spilled

Like filthy ounces

I paddle out it

In a monsoon

My phone got wet up

Yeah that’s why I missed ya text, uh

Rolled up in a wrapper

In a studio
On a mixer
Tryna sit up
See me noddin out

Got some red eyes
Cuz I been tired

And the engine revving up now
Ready to bend and tear it up now
When that flame get hot
Embers with a propane shot

I’m beginning ta
Inner stand what you’re showing me God
Gunk is in my tract/track
Then Imma flush it out with a lemon enema

(Chorus)
Gotta go

Busy

Gotta go too busy

Gotta go too busy

Gotta go busy

(Verse)
Only enough time to wave
No swimming or flapping
Both my feet in
Sifting and combing
I’m shedding flakes

Once I’m filling up that tank
Shift gone be cracking
Struts a squeaking
Pistons exploding
Won’t hit the brakes

Shot at the head of them zombies
Found a crown of fools who slipped through the mold and tried to propagate

Reconstructing the serum
From runny blood watch it thicken
Incoherent vessels squeezing people leaving them hard of hearing
Emptying and sweeping

You go to the doctor
They put the text on the prompter
Then proceed to take every cent out of your pocket

Got my hands in the air
and they ain’t going to land

No it is not with helium
Shed epithelium

I’m constricting the Boa

Feeling the weight of these
Anything chained to me
Get it away from me

No I won't thrown a stone

To the missed calls folx who’ve I’ve ignored

Them hours minutes seconds spinning in motion

(Chorus)
Gotta go

Busy

Gotta go too busy

Gotta go too busy

Gotta go busy

(Reprise)

Thinking bout my parents
It got me sitting here staring
Glaringly in a fantasy
Hands on me while I’m steering
