"1, 2, 3, and to the 4...
i think i wan't you,
but then again i don't...
it's a push and a pull
get a grip, let it go"
I I W I I
"i'm waitin' on a moment
on a goddamn second.
waitin' on the day that i can
count up all my blessings
waitin' on the day i find my peace (piece)
like it's hidin' under sinks
think i need to see a shrink
my mind a weapon."
"got your career in a chokehold,
mangle the neck.
gotta change up the angle to strangle to death
(yea!)
take me in this life or take me out
take me in this life or take me out"
Take me out
"make me flip.. coin up in the air
i'm aware when you stare, i don't look familiar
better get up out my hair
hear my clique up in this b**, throw a fist
and get impaired
sit forever in a chair, i don't care.
since a kid i been a bear, even meaner than the snare
skip the pin and get a spare, lick a pair.
hit a lick and give a prayer
once i shift it into gear i'll become a millionaire."
"when i walk in the party it's star-studded
all the background and even the stars want it
they all rush me to just be a part of it.
y'all been fishy so i been a shark in the water since
y'all heard my lines, knew it's only the
start up ship
y'all should be honored to just stand
across from this"
DISTURBED
"one take away i have to say is
"takers" always gonna take if "giving's"
in your nature
i got to LA with a little paper
not in a mindset of just gettin' favors
eager to work i ran into a faker
bald headed b** really fat from the waist up
tell me he's changing my ways of life,
taking me way up
i was too young and mistaken "
"a wise person once told me...
"no one smiles bigger than a person who just
got their braces off"
QUICK SESH
"if i say it out loud i obtain and i gain
an allowance of things so i'm shouting my name
til it rings in the ears of the king
i was born to be prominent
born to raise hell with an angelic armor,
until i remain in a coffin
i'm giving you all of my heart in this
promises, promises, promises..."
"is heaven really up there past the outer space?
is it too far for me to see you when i lay?
i see the stars, but i can't tell if they are fake
what's real to me could be gone..
without a trace."
good grief
"have i shown my true colors?
blue skies, dark mind, bright summers
i don't tell white lies and those brown eyes aren't
from my mother.
when those blues arrive that "red" anger gon' be
my cover.
i wan't my money like my women, green, just like Kehlani (:
i wan't her cheeks rosey, her purse pink
and them lips glossy.
i want a heart of gold when i'm a silver fox
i know my life ain't dull, i color outside the box. "
"we in revelation, not a revolution
might be the final chapter
i've come to this conclusion.
put my hands together and make
a couple last ditch efforts
before my last days."
revelation
"i lack a lot of info, but i've observed
like i look through windows
i'm seein' clear as day
a slow approach to a jolting end, oh
i promise we not gonna make it,
this whole generation smokin' endo
stuck in a basement high as the cost of livin'
pay the bills though... "
"todays kids glued to the tv
brain gettin' fed to the screen
feast like a zombie in the late evening
now we raised by machines.
no more late night stories
readin' books before the Z's
learnin' abc's from the keys
now we stay woke, no sleep"
g-rated
"next generation gon' be petrified
cause todays society is lookin' like a genocide
apocalypse one second away
they say we jeopardized and we just need to cover our face
to live a healthy life. how about some exercise?
alien invasion comin' soon, been kept in waiting
news anchor f**kin' sayin'
according to our calculations this nation's
kept a couple secretes,
ET gettin' studied in our own basement.
f**kin' simulation"
"i'm gon' take that head off like a guillotine
imma take these p***'s out this s**t like a
lyrical hysterectomy.
sometimes i get graphic painting vivid scenes
if the call for action or duty should call my name
then imma turn marine"
he's pissed
"trust... always got instincts
imma trust my gut when i feel it sink.
wanna drop to the lowest rock bottom with me?
just to make that climb more epic
just to make that s**t more sweet
remember all the lowest points, the climax gon' mean everything
rocky mountain high, tip top at the f**n' peak."
"caterpillar climb away, climbing pillars so
my caccon can be as high as me
(gettin' so high, we gettin so high)
soon a butterfly gon' fly away.
please let me spread my wings before i die
i must."
butterfly
"i get emotional
i get up in the morning and i read devotionals.
is there a difference between loneliness
and solitude?
like a choreographer, baby you know i'm
always plottin' moves.
tryna reach full potential,
wingspan reaching goals easy man
feel like Dikembe Mutombo
you can not reach through a window
oppurtunity closes quick, i feel the breeze
through all these instrumentals"
"winter comes and spring blooms
pain comes, love flows, we rise again
time is time right?
right, kings and queens. royalty seeks us out
with every breath i know you can make it.
i see the light in your eyes
free your mind and you'll see."
kings & queens
"open up your heart before the casket opens
bask in those precious folks and
precious moments. pedals thrown before
they ghostin'
let the kings and queens know they glowin'
you got a crowd of people.
crown the king
shout and scream
loud and sing
like we at a steeple."
"aye, what you doin' with your life,
in the day, in the night?
am i right? am i left for the dead?
maybe i should've just went to bed,
went sleep. now i'm always caught up dreamin'
look at me,
on the streets at 2 am! this night will never end
how does gettin' higher make me more the
devils friend?"
freak show
"do you finally feel uncaged?
are you who you wanna be?
are you putting on a face?
do you wear a mask like Jason
and carry round a blade?
are you anything but sane?
are you freaky are you lame?
are you game if i've got ouija boards at home
beneath the tv will you play?"
"i can't wait to see what HE brings
you know i love a good surprise
wishin' for a little bling
Jesus piece hangs a foot below my third eye.
ain't nothing more promising
then me pullin' up clean to a curb side.
retro Jordan's on my big feet,
ripped jeans, Jesus piece below my third eye. "
jesus piece below my third eye
"i am relaying a message that we can all
benefit from, trust it's only for betterment.
don't wanna reminisce only bout bad times
and sad rhymes. we need apprenticeship,
we need a leader, we need a teacher,
we need a president. needs to be heaven sent.
soon we'll be remnants,
give your pets a kiss, a quick goodbye.
good times is what we all tend to miss."
"off the dome
off the top of the head we at the gallows
chop, chop, choppin' it up with me kissin' non-stop
opposites attract cause I'm a spitter and you swallow
I been wearin' crocs rockin' tucked socks people
stop they walkin' just so they can come and check out my apparel"
curb stomp
"I've got an obsession with what is forbidden
I got an obsession with winning
obsessed over holding the pen in the palm of my hand when I'm gripping it, feeling the riddlin
(ritalin)
really intense and I'm sentiment. wholesome but also I'm villainous.
if my ending result isn't eminent prominent prince that's establishing dominance
promise I'll kill a b***"
"she ain't no Cinderella
more like her bitchy sisters
oh but she still a princess, she get it from her mama
you got the whole family picture, she hardly knew her father. she got the daddy issues
skeletons in her closet"
cinderella
"I am the one that has all of the might
I'm gonna make it no maybe, no might
I am THE ONE, the author, Arthur
I pulled the sword from the rock of Gibraltar
f*** being king I'm taking his daughter
we fall in love get lost at the altar
I am a prophet, I'm not tryna profit off her
I got so much I can offer
"it’s taking way too motherfuckin long for me to
get to the point
the point i wanna be at
can’t relax til i stack 33 plaques
seen a vision where I sleep back home
no screens tv black, no speakers on
talking to myself probably lookin like a relapsed
i be alone to practice these crafts "
Deja vu
"your dreaming reality really, it’s astonishing
to go to sleep and dream bout what tomorrow brings
a whole lot of things dollars, bling, watches or a pot and seeds. imma plant a dollar tree
catch shade and nickname myself lottery
fortuneteller shit no hypotheses"
"this like death of auto tune
need a moment of silence
every time I gotta kill another thought of you "
moment of silence
"you got faith, well I got planz
to get on the boards like Rodman
billboard, top ten.
being me is staying on brand
I'm bringing heat like a Glock in my hot hand
pop pop, im comin thru if you got plots
then I'm all in. "
"up and down that 101 gon take me
north and south that 101 won't save me
take me to the grave
I'm tryna take it day by day
I'll go away but I know how to get back."
low low
"might spend this life just tryna level up from window shopping
take my chances, story could get sketch
at least I'm in the drawing.
pen to paper, jot down this potty mouth
doin something major."
"God pull a few strings you my Gepetto
drop to my knees, scream
u see my tryna let go
he don't hear my pleas, no replies
just my echos.
while I'm on this earth show me love yo XO"
xo
"don't you know all of our leaders are weak
what can I say? f@$k being sheep.
when do we ever see actual change
might as well come out and laugh on our face.
who want the smoke? throw out the vape
where is our hero?
no one in capes. "
"I'm telling you exactly what it is tho
soon I'll have money for the kinfolk
bill fold big, f@$kin' tenfold
don't got time for a center fold."
aston raps
"all the sudden people wanna be you when
they see you living lavish
bastards, who might wanna see you in a casket
please keep the shooting at the basket.
(swoosh)"
"I used to have a lot of people I'd wanna please
a couple I'd really wanna make proud
cared about who's toes I would step on
but I was taught to never look down.
now I walk round town so sure footed
I stepped up when they for sure couldn't
I'm regretting not a second of work that I put in
could only fall if someone close to me doin the pushin "
basket case
"give a damn about a past life
I'm alive right now
so imma dance passed midnight
bust moves in low light
future look so bright
I won't be a has been (no way)
its my way or the casket (aye)
imma basket case."
"I only flatter the best, somebody told me that flatteries dead.. or maybe it's chivalry
knew right away you were into me
taking more shots than an infantry
give me the look.. imagery
ask where I'm from, Tennessee."
It's Over
"heaven sent but I hell seek
I could grant a wish if I just speak
who is my hero if only ME and help ME
hmmmm.. maybe LT
running through life and nobody gon' get me
kid got big can't fit in a selfie
rich as a bitch his chick got the LV
thick duck lips my kids on her belly
no elementary, my maturity empty."
"putting words in her mouth, acting like a puppeteer, nobody been coming near
thinking I'm attached and that's my biggest fear
telling me that anybody else can get you close to where I got you simply isn't true and isn't fair
if I am a stepping stone for you at least you know that imma get you there. "
Show Up
"I know you lovin this..
there's no one else its a wall that you up against.
and you just gotta show up
ain't no way we can't show off when we together everybody go nuts."
"who is proud of me?
who is doubtful?
in disbeleif when you disappointed about who's around you.
who been mooching off you?
who knew your value?
growing apart is hard when you're too attached to somebody you love."
Just be honest
"tryna find the wave, wait until the high tide
imma find a bae (bay) to anchor down to my side
imma find a way to make it before I die
being praised and being hated is a fine line
get too much of either side you lose your right mind."
"I'm speaking the truth and I speak from the heart
now we in the deep cuts and I'm leaving a scar
imma keep the shit rolling leave the keys in the car
when I leave my shades on I can't see in the dark
such a know it all I catch my ass preaching to God
like good Lord how these people not believe in the sauce I'm lit, shit - and im keeping it raw
these salty bitches aint seasoned at all."
kodak
"I'm too important
go 'head getcha camera and record it
you the one that isn't living in the moment
when you taking pics on your Kodak
and you know that"
"All the guilt, all the pain that I keep
All the greed, all the cheap shots fuckin' up my sleep can you please not
You got places you could be please stop
I got 99 problems
they ain't coming from a bitch but I got em
I got problems
and I don't ever know how I got em."
problems
"Every lyric is analytical observation
airing out what other rappers couldn't think of sayin
self awareness the clearest form of actualization
have some merit and stare at the shit you think you facing
it's in the mirror you fear of not reaching expectations
the here and now can be a hero so adhere to Maintnance
put the work in, purpose, patience.."
"we in a state of emergency
imma stay by you while you keep hurting me
I don't need no escape, no I don't feel uncertainty
I can't get enough, how could you burden me?
I ain't feeling too great, but I can take what doesn't murder me
the 1st, the 2nd, or the 3rd degree."
state of emergency
"I hate to see you cry
it's my job, I'm assigned
to get them water works to dry
if you ever feeling down I got some ways to get you high
when I make you die of laughter that's the most you feel alive."
"you want some of me, I just wanna focus on my California dream
too many masking who they really are beneath
too many actors, how can I believe
she isn't just another shorty tryna make a scene
cute little thing shorter than her self esteem."
​
around you
"we could be a team
play no games don't stay on the defense
show me what you bring
will this romance last more than a weekend
tell me what you think
could it be the drink?
or do I really need.. need to be around you."
"you'd run through fire if you cared for me
apparently you want to burn me to a rare degree
if I'm with somebody else you'd live through her vicariously
I'm moving on but not moving forward
commitment can't be looking like no kinda sorta
but my heart couldn't take no more I made a order
leave my shit alone she became aorta
all the songs I'm making for ya.. or about ya
I know I dint leave you how I found ya
don't know how to
I could level you up or I could ground ya
stuck in the past, she love nostalgia."
when ur ready
"too many drives to the hills
traffic sitting at a still, still I get in my feels
thinking that the split don't appeal
to me and now I see I gotta heal
stepping on me in them heels
looking like a whole fucking meal
what's the deal?
just hit me when your ready
hit me on the phone, got my number I don't wanna be alone so
hit me when your ready
no one get me where I want so I'm hoping that you holler on the low low."
"name a place and time
you can hit me up when the sun don't shine
ain't no thang, pay no mind
tiny bit of change may help you unwind
get you out your way, lets vacay
7 day stay, a little get away just you and I
flights on flights
touch down where you like it when we up in the sky."
unwind
"tell me where you like it
what's your favorite city?
you like it private when I take you with me
you so fine you make the angle pretty
I'd let you play me then I'd make you win me
I'm so creative I'll show you how we can make a memory."
