Words (Intro)

There's no words to
Say how I feel
When the time comes
I'm just filled with fear
I can't dream of life without you
Yet I haven't told you a word
So, I'll stay here until you've somehow heard

Leave Me Be

Everyday of my life always gotten met with despair
(Yet why do I just let it linger there?)
Broken, bruised, open wounds left out in the air, bare
(Oh, bitch do you know what you've done to me too)
Demons crawl, fast asleep, wide awake I can always count on them to fuel myself
With thoughts that really shouldn't be there
(What do I care)
Let em seep, hear a peep
Look at me still on my feet cuz
All that matters in the end is
Anything I got for you but
Just not me
Please let me be
When I say some shit 'bout being heartbroken and shattered
Know that this is something more than someone tweeting sadder
Once you take a deep dive into my mind
I don't think you'll ever find a way out alive
When I say some shit 'bout being heartbroken and shattered
Know that this is something more than someone tweeting sadder
...Wait
I don't give a fuck about it
What's so different 'bout these antics
Little patience, zero action
All this talking, make it passive
Take some classes, hear advances
Fuck in dreams with lots of passion
Thieves and bandits, life haphazard
Happy hopping dump these has-been's
The malpractice, ain't no asking
Obvious was it, clear plastic
That's a metaphor, for all you whores
That I can see the masking
It's so sad, that despite all them
Laughing lacking macking hacks
That you don't see that I am one whole level above all you cats so
Don't get in the back
Hop in the trunk
It just fulfills a little inch more
I got no job, barely a car
Give me a rush that'll never be stopped
A killing spree, murdering please
Chop up every motherfucker that I aim to see
Your testing the limits of a deity, there's a reason that they call me The King
So let me be (Leave me be)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Leave me be (Let it be ohhh)
(Mother, father, sister, brother, don't you fret on me
The dark ain't that all too bad, my thoughts are free to rest)

In My Head

I don't know how to start this
Fuck it
Dear diary, my very first installation
The sun aint glowing too hard, despite L.A's winter
I see some new kids on the block, though new ones come every week
This time they kicked that old nice lady up the block for some fee
You know the nice one who would come greet the fam every day
From my way to school,
Now there's a horizontal fence in its place,
Seems like this is the new agenda for hoods
Yuppies and the new rich kids givin me dirty looks
Like I'm the invader here
Like I need to disappear
Like that little ol' lady's a nuisance to everyone here
Just pack your bags and take the cash, cash out on all of your dreams
Because this little ol' hood of yours will be a place for me
Despite the crying and the screaming, and the shots of guns in the evening
Who could've thought the answer relied on displacing people?
So will I ever see the people I called family again?
I don't know, maybe a sip of coffee's the trick
There I go thinking again
Of all the lost time that I spent in my head
Where I can go and trot in the sand
And the pattering rain turns to waves in a flash
Or maybe I’m the one at fault here
For choosing solitude
But all I know’s that in my head
My thoughts are free to rest
It's dark in here but what do I care
The suns been too much for these eyes to bear
When fields die they yellow from the air
But in here's where the dead don't ever appear
Or maybe I’m the one at fault here
For living in the dark
But I don’t care cause I’m my head
My thoughts are free to rest
I've done had enough
I guess it’s good to let em all be
There’s always my room I got to comfort me
All of the dark that I speak
It don’t sound too bad, once you get to know me
Or maybe I’m the one at fault here
For choosing solitude
But all I've known's that in my head
My thoughts are free to rest

Look at the Days
And time go by
Those insignificant numbers
Never seem to die (Just dark and light)
The storybook it turns
Aided by the breeze
Back and forth to the same page
The words don’t make a sound
Fall from grace to underground
Is a scene? (To be seen)
Don't let these creases fool you
And all of it's the contents swirl you
'Round and around, it consumes you
Into a full flurried whirlpool (Hurled in a)
One jet black doozy
Words that command not loosely
I am the prophet that's offered to offense
The almighty offer within you
Just take it up and you'll see
Everything that you're missing
Surely regret in this moment, just notice it, take it and look towards the whole of it
And go figure that, what's to last, is the doubt that you'll have when you don't take any sort of chance
Take my hand
Don’t you fret now
One whole worlds to see
So Come with me
And you’ll see
What I mean
So Take me away
About as far as I can take
Oh The places to be
Who thought it be
A worthy journey
Through the sea and the storm
An opening
Where all, it lies
Where hopes and dreams
Don’t die
Just resting on a silver lining
Though fate it seems it has been tryin' me
Yellow, brittle,
Incoming sickle
Too bad it took these type of vices to come out under the table ohh
Just think how times I licked the Sprite clean
And got me leanin', everytime that things been feelin' fiesty
Fight me
To the edge, no turnin' back
Please
Don’t you fret now
One whole worlds to see
So Come with me
And you’ll see
What I mean
So Take me away
About as far as I can take
Oh The places to be
Who thought it be
A worthy journey
Through the sea and the storm
An opening
Where all, it lies
Where hopes and dreams
Don’t die

Who Could've Thought?

Who could've thought that it would be so crystal clear?
(I don't, I don't, I don't know)
Left in the cold abandoned fields within my head
To your grasp
And I am aware that things like this don't usually last
But that's not who we are
And fuck all the rest, they don't apply
There's no one else
We have no broken path
No path to ever lead us back
Aahhhh
With you I'm oh so gently feeling right
There's nothing out there that makes me think twice
So go ahead
Take my hand
And lead me where
No questions asked
Just lead me where
Unwrapped the blindfold I got plastered on my eyes
No time that's wasted is rightfully yours or mine
Can't wait for that sun of ours to shine
I won't lie it's got me anxious walking on a line
No twin towers, but enough to suffice
The regenerating action of yours, sublime
Man it's easy, couldn't see this
In the beginning it was so facetious
Couldn't ever picture anybody walking toe to toe beside me
In a million years since
But thank you.. really
No amount of words could ever pry me from inside this high
That you're granting my world view
Who could've thought that it would be so crystal clear?
(I don't, I don't, I don't know)
Left in the cold abandoned fields within my head
To your grasp

I must admit it's been awhile
I've been involved in something wild (Like this)
Cold feet on the tile, at night I see a smile so bright
It helps me get around just like a night light
I take it in, without no hesitation
Nothing to be said
I know my heart's involved because it's racing
Or just a dream (Just a dream!)
I could be spending nights alone
Just like every other instance I've been stuck in this position
Wasting away, smoking the hours, burning they go
'Till the likes of you came knocking right down at my door
Introductions, led way to getting comfy
At least that's what was planned
Anxiety still running
This can't be a dream
When we dance down shadow (Shatto) lane
Two-step in a hurricane
You wash away my pain
The way you look at me
I'm down on bended knee
Admit it's killing me!
Admit it's killing me
The markings on your skin something special
Your so high above me you don't change with the weather
It'd be foolish not see, that in my
Scars that are fading along with my doubt that's waning
There's nothing stopping the fact of the feeling that's going through me
But tell me why I can't keep it going each second I'm living
This can't be a dream
When we go back that way
The memories of that place
The one down shadow (Shatto) lane
The way you look at me
I'm down on bended knee
Admit, it's killing me!
Oh the things the I'd do just to love you, oh my!
Oh the things the I'd do just to love you, oh my!
Oh the things the I'd do just to love you, oh my!
Oh the things the I'd do just to love you, oh my!
I guess we'll wait and see...

King Leon Los Angeles, California
In the advent of music evoking nostalgia to distract from the divided world we live in today, rapper, singer, multi- instrumentalist and bedroom producer, King Leon, has capitalized off of the "lo-fi" movement to make a unique sound of his own. Drawing inspiration from influential sounds of the 1960s and blending it into anthems for the gentrification-affected youth of Los Angeles. ... more
