Eventide by Trey Coachman Lyrics
[Trey Talking]
Kay…
Y’all ready
I think we can take this
Alright
[Verse 1]
When the moon is half mast
I always have a task
The pen is within my grasp
And my hand is moving fast
Broken so many pens and pencils
All tossed inside the trash
The stars only show
Only when they wanna glow
To the sight of my eyes
I'm only saying though
When the nights get colder
The moon seems brighter
I would call myself a past warrior
Then a known fighter
Cause I'm rising word of mouth
And make it stable for the long fall
Call myself next to a mirror that's a close call
Because of these halftime shows
And rapping in the locker room
With the whole crowd in my dreams
Waiting just to see my shoes rap and dance
Who has done this other then Chris?
That doesn't miss a trip, Charlie Brown
Cause I've learned by burns starting here is where I kickoff
My past I forgave and forget from missing the tip-offs
To making big coughs’
I've learned now I'm set
So working the graveyard shift
Until my body gives to produce that one track
That every mental train wanna ride upon
To see from my windows of 'HomeTown' and no sunshine yeah
And everyone thought that the spotlight would be mine
Frequently the freak in me released my own unforgettable grind
[Verse 2]
Why don't the underdogs get as much recognition?
From the same amount of skill and determination
Quality vs. Quantity rappers can't get that straight
I have both excluding the number of listeners I bring
And numbers don't lie, I see the problem
I see Money over Skill
Best way stated possible
Coming from a mind that tries to be rational
Yet improbable thoughts seems to hold onto my brain
Hold on and I let it ache
[Verse 3]
Yeah I put them down with a pencil
But I forget ideas easily
The best ones comes at night
So that’s when I remove my cap and write
Stories with rhythms’ boys wanna bop too
First in my class to do this I know that it’s so true
Since I deliberately know
I've been doing this since I was eleven years old
Hardly care about the facts of the others
Cuz I could rupture over how mad I get over myself
Lose my mind enough I'm searching for it
Yeah I'm nowhere, but I'm everywhere a lot
I flirted with death, in her hands I was almost caught
Need some contact cause the lights have blurred my vision
My wisdom can be expressed off the top of the dome
That’s silver on the inside
With scriptures in the inside
I already rapped my butt off so gonna sit?, Im gonna stand or lay
The longest nickname I've ever kept is Trey
Random lines with rhythms is sometimes what I'm gonna say
Never had the right color on the mood ring this time it would be grey
'Cause I have a ton to do in a long time shot
Like finishing high school and get ready for a university
Like finishing high school and get ready for a university
You need to understand how much that means to me so I had to say it twice
Like studies like Harvard and parties like ASU
If you talking to my parents, that last line you didn't hear from me
Cause my opinion is bias, from what I heard. Yeah it’s true
Now before I go yeah my mind juggles ideas faster than a maniac
Tide
Eventide
Eventide
Eve, eve Eventide
[Verse 4]
When I was born, Hale-Bopp was shot across the sky
I knew my parents had high, expectations for this light skinned guy
A comet at birth what happens in my life?
Which will conclude to my death, or my time to resign
That’s too far but life is so short, Not 5’2’’
Tall enough to ride a rollercoaster
Pin a poster for all my memorable thoughts
Make a museum for all my unforgettable foughts
And continue rumors when I was almost caught
Remember back in Nam? Hello? I don’t look at my age
See what I’ve seen, and make an impact on your life
Wipe my old tears, yeah I’ve cried from being more then calm
Having a solemn express to release my muscle tension
Mostly out of hands out of fits I wished licked the face, so sick
But the Gandhi inside said ‘no violence’ like a sign on the back of my brain
Cause that’s where my mind controls my eyes to see worst then my imagination
Lead to recommendations to dive into music like an ocean
It’s my motion, to let me have my way to see through
The street sign said
‘Many have past, but ether have few have money tossed, or pushed around by a boss’
Then I stopped and thought
Kay…
Y’all ready
I think we can take this
Alright
