They said things done changed Since the day That I chose my way Not the same I know where it goes… This train Should I jump off at sane? Or deranged? If only I’d known Of the shame I would have stayed in my lane And prayed Because god has a goal For me That I cannot see Cause I’m not in control I said I’m not in control No, I’m not in control (10x) See, I’d be stupid to keep on going But it’s hard when I don’t control the speeds The plan was set in motion at my birth I roll with the blowing breeze A bolder steez than all my peers Colder people I must veer Shoulder equal weight or maybe more depending who gets near Fighting for my honor, dishonor’s not in my rolodex Keep my circle solid, detractors don’t even pose a threat Throw my set but, no, not repped in the fashion of the thugs It’s Fuya. So booyah! The high hit you like drugs It’s a rush! Start the adrenaline And hush! Don’t get caught up slipping If you can’t digest the food for thought then you’re malnutritioned. Spoon fed. Elusive of the ways to be a winner That’s a novice mentality…the life of a beginning And it lingers so switch it up You give enough to take a bit If you’re on the pot then take a shit Cause constipation ain’t the trick Live and learn, tap out, and feel the burn worse Let’s ease you into healthy food This junk food should work (4x)

Everybody gonna listen Tune in to a new transmission Flip your dial, file in, and listen As I style; profile the image And the crowd gonna see it Gathering around like a town hall meeting Figure that I got to be profound even If the sound’s not leaking out the foreground speakers Till I’m speaking and it peak out my level Bring out the bass as we route the treble You’re in trouble if you settle So I settle for the road less traveled, gonna battle for the medals Set apart by my new purple heart I’ve been used to the scars. I call them my beauty marks By that definition, I’m gorgeous Ease in my steez while you feel you got to force it Maybe you’re just not for this When you’re 4’6” it’s hard to get ahead like Portis I think you need to speed away like Porsches Feet off the street. Stay on your porches (hook) Blame the music it made me do it Go with the flow like you’re made of fluid If you go all in and you’re made to do this Blame the music it made you do it And I grind again I go in. I grind again Watch me go. I grind again I go in. I grind again Since the first line traveled Out of the fountain, grounded, unraveled Over loose leaf, through me it rattles Into the air meant to round up the cattle Hit your soul. See the music take over you Don’t press till it’s overdone or overdue Peep game, here is a general overview If it ain’t natural then you’re over. Through Throw in the towel because you’re mismatched When you only build a bridge to get a kick back Chill, sit back. See a pro? In tact See the throne? In fact. Leave alone, get that? With every snare, kick drum, or harmony Starts away but ends as a part of me So please pardon me Because I feel I got to rep it Step and stand for the artistry (hook) It’s give or take on an even exchange Flow through the blood, IV in the vein Sold as a drug or a brothel with a rub and tug You expect it to be on the brain We saw the game and made off Like “Bernie” and surely we’re working our way to the playoffs Throw out the scoreboard. Its game on Screaming out “Car!” because we got the drive even if the street paved wrong Kick my feet up and take on Position of chief because my plans are to stay long Cut down my foes. One by one…they got to go Cause there’s no progress with that type of role I learned that this here’s a tough business You can’t just flaunt new shit and fuck bitches But if I could then my one wish is To run this bizz And have a fly ass mistress (hook)

High school was a crazy place Not many knew me face to face Maybe I was a waste of space Trying to hit life but it tasted laced Man, I hated All the clicks that separated Tried to blend in but it felt as forced So I kept on course without ever changing Wish I would have taken More time to protect the pavement Cracks ran through every step I took And the minute I looked, it was swept away in The memories lost Paying the price. Accepted the cost Say the memories lost Paying the price. Accepted the cost (hook) And the price I paid Was a life I made Didn’t fall in line With the same routine every night and day If was worth that risk And for sure I’m blessed Cause I can build my world Anyway I please Eternal bliss (2x) See, this pace…I can deal with The other one lose face real quick I rather be full speed ahead Cause passing my peers can amuse me instead Some call it selfish. I call it progressive Man, being held down at my age is absurdity Certainly, I will profess it I’ve learned my lesson Loosen the structure…sway with the wind Prove it as such…get praised when it ends Start a new goal and do it again Shit, I could have had kids Or gotten married instead But I think I’ll stick to my guns And have some fun before it all ends. (hook) Arrogant rant!

We all one of a kind…unless you’re twin sisters Or if you’re rolling a blunt then everybody’s professional spliff twister Leaf blown, no need lace, they chief gold And repo they shit they own to keep going With ease all involved can bank just keep throwing Their product out to those that pay and keep smoking But every once in awhile it gets To the point where they can’t shake the vile effects They start twitching, switching they thoughts and can’t fix it Living along this damn prison Flipping on broads who can’t give it Their dogs who won’t give in Desperate trying to see where the next hit is Flipping over furniture trying to find digits Of the dealer they copped a bag from last Christmas Damn, it’s that vicious Passed on last wishes All you got left of your life is cracked dishes (hook) You pack it in a pipe Cook it on a spoon Flowing through your veins You leaving us too soon Drop it on your tongue It’s eating through your teeth Sad you can’t cure the bite from that beast You pack it in a pipe Cook it on a spoon Flowing through your veins You leaving us too soon Drop it on your tongue It’s eating through your teeth That monkey on your back is finally unleashed (v2) And you sitting there…hoping that the needle takes Cause you need a taste So as it pierces through your skin all you speak is thanks Inject the needle waste The syringe empties As the tracks lead the way to the next entry Feel the poison flow through you with cheap diseases Until you mumble Farsi but think you speaking English It’s hard to lighten the mood so don’t be facetious You on your out to meeting Jesus, word up! I guess in all reality I can’t knock it You already pawned your shit for narcotics No more possessions. You once had a whip But even without now…you’re still on a trip Hustle to get lit. Without it, its cold sweats They told you to fight the itch but you don’t want to go yet And if that’s how it is then homie I won’t fret But once we hit a bridge, you might want to go next Fly away now (4x)

Fresh out the womb I was ready for a groove and kicking beat Full of life All circuits go for the mystery Figure we Learn as we go so I hit it running Accepted without hesitation like distant cousins It ain’t just for nothing. We building life skills We taking pipes dreams to make them quite real We taking aspirations to exasperate them Breakdown the walls the retractors made its A plan for action that is quite rewarding No imprisonment for me. We blind the warden Escape out the front door here despite the warning Our time. Our day. Reply to no one. It I wasn’t determined to flourish I would be physically, mentally unnourished Time would be going but never would be worth it Now I hit my stride with a purpose Look, it’s a hard road traveled Street riddled with potholes Paved my own path and got rid of the potholes Trying to smooth sail. I’m not taking a loss so I’m trying to build an image that’s colossal This can be your theme music When things are looking bright Dark turn to light Deviate from the night Theme music for you when goals are in sight Give it. Give it all you got and live life Live life…just go Stop and let go Of thoughts and just roll with what you feel’s right Forget the naysayers. Create your own plight Give it. Give it all you got and live life (3x) Invest my time in the obstacles I face just to overcome them Grabbing dreams to me’s a chase so I go in running Got to take a shot. You figured I would go in gunning See it and let the heat out like open ovens It’s all metaphors. Never pull a piece on them Shaping a better core so I pray for peace often I’m at peace often. I rather be lost in That feeling so appealing when you seem lost and I’ve seen my fair share of discrepancies Music hold me together as a centerpiece When the gravity pull down I just release And let it take me where I may till I get unleashed This ain’t rent or lease. I own my imperfections I think, therefore, I am. What a simple sentence Searching for the time in day…got to split the seconds Bet your money on my fate or it’s a missed investment I’m good as cashing when I’m rapping out In any circle it’s a circle that I rap around So people gather around. It’s time to blast the sound To pierce right through your ears. Feel the magic now And you should live your days right Never let them see you sweat Got to pave your own path Earn that genuine respect Got to work for your props Learn to strive without rest Because they’re always gonna see All the time that you invest

And so we shine Shine like stars In the sky This is ours We shine like stars We shine like stars We shine like stars We shine like stars You and I We shine like stars In the sky We shine like stars Baby girl, we too busy We do work for the city You? One of the few that vibe with me And if they can’t catch up…what a pity Now, don’t get me wrong because I’m gritty Raised to be blunt as hell A spade is a spade and nothing else The game don’t change so I changed myself And if the rains don’t come then we chase the wells Now, that’s logic. Watch it. Take some notes You’re progress lost if you shame the soul But you’re straight, frankly, you break the mold And you worth it. You hold your weight in gold And there’s no (there’s no) hesitation Unlike the last girl who left me waiting Run by this fast world, head for greatness Make all that’s complicated look basic You got goals and determined to get them Got naysayers but continue to debt them I’ve caught hate. I forgive and forget them They lose against us the minute we bet them Sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself Back to the dance I asked you for Lovely, you’ll never forget what is felt If they only knew what we have in store (hook) Baby, just let go of your body and don’t care who’s there to see Drop that wall and lose inhibitions. Just pretend it’s you and me If they watch then let them because we both here just busy minding ours Best if we pretend it’s our last day here so we can shine like stars We use each other. Remove each other From all that smothers. Life undercover I know you a mother. I’m still reluctant Life hasn’t gone my way so why rush it Long term goals don’t fit in my budget I’m too proud to every try crutches Walk my own path Stack my own cash Laugh. Don’t hold back…move in stride 25 years and still I’m trying Roll with the punches and still I’m fighting Hold the pressure and relieve it crying Tears don’t fit with the man that I am Too damn strong to be breaking down Too damn smart not to change the pace Too damn long since I faced the crowd But not too far from a full erase So, pardon me because I’m taken a back We hold the world like it ain’t gonna crack At this moment I am facing a fact That our time here sure won’t last We will crash and we will burn And it won’t matter what we learned Drop your guard and close your eyes Let’s take the world like we’re both surprised (hook) Shine like stars…stars! (8x)

So many changes And rearrangements Now my life has never felt better I’ve lost all of my shame and Take it with grace With life, I’m going in I promise to never let up (2x) I know (3x) I’ve never felt better I know (3x) I promise to never let up for you I dug a hole in the middle of the desert Screamed with all my heart to alleviate the pressure Couldn’t find a reason to keep my current agenda And decided I was through. Buried it front and center but still I got the same passion that got me noticed Don’t take my current catalog and say I lost my focus I just altered my approach to see how awesome growth is Now, I can run with any genre since I started honing Every facet of my craft to construct devices That parallels on a path with them other giants Started relying on myself to create a buzz Been myself since day one and all they gave was love So I’d be foolish to turn my back on the diehards You’ve been the most important part of this by far I wouldn’t be in the position that I’m in if I didn’t take advice from the ones who had an interest That made me better. My letters have tightened up Believe I’ll never let up a veteran I am, trust Conceive it through a pencil and etch it to life a rush Of adrenaline. It’s settled, I’m having too much fun (hook) They tell me time flies when you have fun And you might die if you have none So I’ll approach it with a smile on my face And a blindfold through a misguided chase Shit, I’ll pull it off with a boyish grin And never flutter even if I wasn’t poised to win But you die if you never have dreams Without fun, that time of yours will never have wings And now I woke up in the morning. Happier than a pig in Shit, if I could do it for real, I would. Kidding! Keeping high hopes is suddenly now a mission Being happy that you’re breathing should put it all in perspective This used to be about venting. Depressing angles Prayers to god for a sign. Maybe just a halo Hoping he was out there taking sight Of my hardships and planning how to make it right But nope. It’s not to say I don’t believe in faith I do, along with knowing I’m poised to recreate Every brick that I wedge into the beaten path Is another step closer to being free at last Get a piece of land, piece of fame, piece of cash Put them into one and break them to give the pieces back And when I do decide to settle anywhere We’ll reminisce about the memories from getting there (hook) And we watch time fly Sometimes we never see it go Just close our eyes and play our roles But I can’t live like that. Deserve way more than this So I just stop and take what’s mine Put in work to redefine This whole structured life they think that we should live I’ve cried my eyes out I’ve let my pride down And finally I can see All that I want
