Ice Cream for Breakfast (Produced by Chevelle James)

lyrics

I wake up to a joint, stretch and something to eat.
Lace up my sneakers, jog the streets east up to the beach.
I see the sun rise up from the horizon of tides, high in the sky.
Slim-eyed, I keep my tongue in my cheek.
Shuffle my feet along the concrete next to the lake.
Take just a second to stretch it out like electrical tape.
Take a breath as I wait and wipe the sweat from my face.
Then chase the seagulls down the coast at a respectable pace.
If I've neglected to state that life's great, let me mention it.
Consensus is to exit outside and be adventurous.
Enter into areas I rarely attend.
Whether I'm flying solo or open to sharing with friends.
Hate can barely contend with such a wonderful feeling.
I'm up at the ceiling just reeling in the beams.
You know that feeling in your knees when you're light as can be?
Finding the neatest and cleanest places for hide and go seek.
Let's eat.

If I ain't jogging, then I'm walking where I need to go.
Playing the music like I wanna see the speakers blow.
To each his own, but I'm living it clean.
It's just a part of the decision to dream.
I try to keep in shape, eat ok, write a lot, light some pot, chief while I seek perfections.
I got the munchies, ate the cereal and bacon for dinner, so now I'm eating ice cream for breakfast.

And things are different from a year ago.
And now I'm liking who the mirror shows.
I had to clean the mind and clear the soul.
And do my best to push the fear below.
And so much has changed in five years.
The comings and goings of my peers.
The shed and eventually dried tears.
I'm learning to appreciate my time here.
Turning a blind ear to ignorant thought, pick it apart.
Despite fear, you've gotta think with your heart.
GIve it a spark to hit the marks that you're aiming to reach.
Savor the labor that it takes to get you taming the beasts.
While tryna stay on your feet and keep course.
No seahorse path of travel, I'm tryna take advantage of resources provided when eyelids are open.
The sunshine as guidance residing between the sky and the ocean.

If I ain't jogging, then I'm walking where I need to go.
Playing the music like I wanna see the speakers blow.
To each his own, but I'm living it clean.
It's just a part of the decision to dream.
I try to keep in shape, eat ok, write a lot, light some pot, chief while I seek perfections.
I got the munchies, ate the cereal and bacon for dinner, so now I'm eating ice cream for breakfast.
