speakeasy the storyteller - i am the tortoise. lyrics

(1st verse)
these tunes and instrumentals instrumental in tuning my instrument
i’ll hit the notepad with my fingerprint, i’m mellow
forget to revel in the moment, living in my mental
rolling cigarillos used to be my only mode
of transporting my lonely soul, i’m do+si+do’ing with the devil
when i’m burning holes in my story mode, codes entered to finish the level
but what’s a high score if i’m bored with it?
i get the shovel out the shed sweat until i hit the treasure
i’m lighter when the bic is never lit
i litter letters round the crib just in case i forget to remember
identical address but the place that i’m in is better
heaven’s hidden in a little bit of effort
life is filled with lemons but sometimes you think you is the lemon
if you tried to mix your lemonade at six or seven
and they called it sour, now you’re bitter, you just need a little sugar
to remind you that your recipe’s written in pencil
and if it’s in pen don’t rip the page, flip it
then it’s blank again, the end is the beginning, write a different sentence
the gift is in the present, sipping seltzer
spinning records, gingerbread in mid+december, the simplest pleasures
i was only ten in mr. perez’s
listening for my name on the list for attendance
attention deficit un+diagnosed
wicked intelligence but i’m kinda slow, little did i know
when the television rolled in i would be given a lesson
that i wouldn’t learn til i was 25 years old
he played a cartoon called the tortoise & the hare
stored the story in my soul then and there
(hook)
i am the tortoise
i am the hare + no
i am the hare + no
i am the hare + no
i am the tortoise
i am the hare + no
i am the hare + no
i am the hare + no
i am the tortoise

left, right, left, right, left, right, left
left, right, left, right, left, right, left

(2nd verse)
the tortoise and the hare had a race
the tortoise spent the first lap in last place
the hare turned back just to laugh in his face
but the tortoise moved forward, no slack in his pace
the hare lapped him, moving much faster
got distracted by a rabbit he was happy to chase
the tortoise stayed focused, one lap in his wake
halfway through the second, no slack in his pace
and when the hare made it back to the track
the tortoise was on his ass, he had to accelerate
final lap… the hare was at the finish line
with plenty time to spare but he had to hit the brakes
just before he crossed just to show off
so he sat back relaxed and waited
for the tortoise for so long he accidentally dozed off
the tortoise walked past him, no slack in his pace
the tortoise and the hare had a race
the hare spent the last lap in last place
the tortoise never looked back
the next lap was in front of him so that’s what he faced
(hook)
i am the tortoise
i am the hare + no
i am the hare + no
i am the hare + no
i am the tortoise
i am the hare + no
i am the hare + no
i am the hare + no
i am the tortoise

left, right, left, right, left, right, left
left, right, left, right, left, right, left

(3rd verse)
made a record of me so i could listen to myself
now i’m mastering and mixing it, sitting with myself
and i figured out i was not considering myself who i wanted to be
limiting myself, living in my sh+ll
creating the same problems with other people i was tryna fix within myself
and i’m sorry for that, give forgiveness to myself on these audio tracks
it’s a privilege to help anybody who listens even if it’s just myself
but i bet you it isn’t, this chrysalis is h+ll but it isn’t a prison
it’s a mission i’m compelled and committed to finish
go get it, i wish you well tortoise
i wish you well tortoise
i wish you well
+ speakeasy

in the ’22 f+150 listening to dad’s truck mix
