Arrivederci, la dolce vita

Sippin spring water with my soul mate
Live fluoride free, no colgate
World on my shoulders, got the whole weight
Every pearl is a boulder but I won’t break
Follow me, I ride with the dolce
What that mean though? Allow me to portray
Sweet sounds by the pound, home made
Cuisine in the kitchen, got it kickin gourmet
Everytime that I walk through your doorway
Awaken your senses with eccentric displays
Frivolous flavors, scented bouquets
Courted, imported, and sorted by taste
So you spit that flame? Oh you don’t say
Got the juice now you think that you’re OJ?
How you married to the game but you don’t slay
Murder every beat like it’s my forte
Distill lessons from my sins, feeling odd in the hallway
How you believe in God but you don’t pray
Hard to believe it’s a fraud but it’s all fake
Hard to believe in love cause it’s all fate

Sippin tonic tea with my twin flame
She really only love me for my pen game
Ask me how I am, said I been great
Lie straight to your face, fake handshake
Am I wrong? Have I been sane?
Cause I’m strong don’t mean that I can't break
Great love songs turn into heartache
Without cake it’s harder to partay
Without Kate it’s harder to partake
In the simple things that make life great
Mind gold for your mind’s sake
I’d be happy having nothing but your blind fate
If you don’t find drive, you’ll find escape
Don’t smoke that fireplace
Take your mindstate to a higher place
Cause doing nothing is a time waste
And don’t forget to meditate

Sippin hot chocolate with my true love
We bout to get it poppin turn the tunes up
Microphone I rock it with my shoes off
Couldn't walk for a second in my shoes dawg
Sleepy eyes finally just dozed off
Fell asleep watching the Boondocks
Spliff still lit with the moonrocks
Really wanna hit, yet she too hot
Asleep on my chest, pressin her flesh deeper into my caress
Relievin my stress, feel is the best
There’s something I’ve got to confess
I’ve been a mess since you last left yes
Cold and alone and depressed
But I took the time to reflect, look and dissect
All the problems and letters I haven’t addressed

Sentire il tuo dolce tocco
La mia vita
Viver con te e la dolce vita
Tisana con te
Fiori per la doppia fiamma e la dolce vita
Protrebbe non essere la dolce vita

Sippin somethin sacred ridin solo
No spirits in my glass, no soda
Bitter herbs and a little bit of yoga
Bit of weed for the chip on my shoulder
What are all the things that they won't say?
Do they got game? Nah they just played
I just want my records to rotate
But still my release got no date
Late to the party, don’t wait
I been meaning to call you all day
Try to talk to God but he won’t say
Anything in reply so I lie awake
No sleepin, feel depleted
Need to find a new mind state
Went from being a sober vegan
To living off of these high stakes
