lyrics

Hello all my friends, Temporal Walker here
Fellows and mentlegen, a forest of friends
Bellow like an ent, walking trees but never fear
Mellow boughs that bend, buckin' all the trends

Leaves blowin in the wind, swayin' in the breeze
Trees like these all be the bee's knees
Seeds growin' as I live, prayin' for my needs
Weeds all see that I'mma lead the deed

To be ancient and live a day at a time
Grow leaves everyday, give no hay nor a sign
No need to vent or sieve my anger or vice
Life in the tree way, shit, it sounds so nice

My acorns are my thoughts, plant roots and take aim
Once born toward the sky, reach for greater acclaim
Some stillborn, but some grow stronger every day
Never mourn, there's still so many wilds to tame

Yeah, if I were a tree, it would be so Everfree
But if I were a tree, what tree would I be?
Maple, pine, oak, or maybe a sassafrass?
It'd be stable, fine, and evoke an aire of class.

I know some of you out there are kindof stumped
As to why I would wanna trade my body for a trunk
I'm not trying to be sappy or a pain
My ideas go a little bit against the grain

I'm simply trying to branch out my horizons
And get myself a little more wizened
To plant my roots in the earth a little deeper
And prune myself to be a little bit cleaner

Haters just cedar, you're barking up the wrong tree
Leaf it to me, I'm gonna be the best tree I can be
Pipsqueak, Tom, Chalupa, unbeleafable
Gonna make this track more poplar, that's achievable
