Chorus X2
Lately, it's been crazy
Trying to get a hold of ya body baby/
I know it's amazing
That I'm here with you/
Verse
Your feet hurt
Cause in my mind you jog/
Running in my head all day
Girl what time you off /
Vibe match your skin
Bright and soft/
Shine your light girl
Guide me out this fog/
You fell from heaven
Praise lord
She is a blessing /
The only ten I see (Tennessee)
She was born in Memphis /
Love at first sight
It took only seconds/
Time for me to reflect
Daydreaming of your silhouette
Wanting so bad to caress/
Follow the outline of your curves
No need for GPS/
I know exactly where I'm going
to your heart I connect/
Let's make it last forever
I'm really feeling you
You got that kinda texture /
I'm really digging you
My hidden treasure /
Let me get into you
Kno1 can do it better/
Chorus X2
Lately, it's been crazy
Trying to get a hold of ya body baby/
I know it's amazing
That I'm here with you/

Verse 1
Slow start it's all good
Been known to finish strong /
Some say he's no good
And handles business wrong/
It's all good it's okay
Somehow I still evolve /
Comes naturally
With time
Like learning from a lost/
Haters blocking
Yet you take the charge/
Story of my life
Story of us all/
Stories from where we fell/fail
But never took the fall/
Had to bounce back
I'm fact I had to crawl/
Now the main event
Was once the undercard /
Glory be to God!
Glory feed the charge!
Electrify the spark!
To light up the moment
And lead you out the dark/
Benchmarks hits
Check box filled/
Marijuana lit
riding in the Bonneville /
If it comes without a struggle
Then it's not as real/
Maintain your hustle
From a penny to a Dollar bill/
Chorus (x2):
I've been grinding all this damn time
And just want a little bit of luck/
And now I have it, one time
Wassup/
Bridge (x2)
GREEN LEAF,
GOLD POTS/
Horseshoe
Jackpot/
Will I make it to
The top?/
It don't matter don't stop/
DON'T EVER EVEN WORRY
Verse 2
How many years does it take...
I'm over here counting/
Learning from mistakes
Don't turn molehills into mountains/
Youth in my pace
Once I drank from the fountain/
Savior the taste
I feel old When the draughts come/
One thousand I keep it
Locked like a secret /
My pedigree - heavenly
Son of God like Jesus/
Blessings they reach us
Sometimes deceive us/
We can want everything
But only need to be breathing/
Chorus (x2):
I've been grinding all this damn time
And just want a little bit of luck/
And now I have it, one time
Wassup/

Chorus x2
I keep trying a grow
They keep cutting low
I'm moving too slow...
So foolish /
Verse one:
It's a shame...
I played fool twice/
Second time was
a choice, I didn't move wise/
Amplified kept
My poise built a new spine/
The first rule in this
game... Stay alive/
Quick demise for quick
Tempers, it's so basic/
Calculated... My
Effort... Show patience/
engaging with these
Lessers gives no favors/
Learn to spot em when they
Enter, heighten yo surveillance/
Decisions weighing On my
conscious while I'm moving this maze/
How many other options on
The deck can I play/
How many other obstacles
Is standing in the way/
Watch impossible turn possible
Ignite my DNA/
Flame-burning, heart yearning
Gotta prove what I know now/
Subtle toned down, let Power
moves raise your profile/
Wisdom of the old owl
Yeah we old now/
Steering with control now
Can never slow down/
Chorus x2
I keep trying a grow
They keep cutting low
I'm moving too slow...
So foolish /
Bridge x2:
When I try
You deny
When I rise
You hide/ (where they at)
When I shine
You cry/ (can't take it)
When I fly
You die/ (you won't make)
Verse two
These days I'm trapped inside My mind,
From this world, I built a barricade/
On the hunt for...
The serenade from second grade/
My joyous youth help me produce
The man I am today/
Blessed and confused still a fool
This life I can't explain/
Learn from the pain, Fair exchange
For how we living huh?
Perfect my ways, Close I came
But never near enough/
When it's the truth l
You only have to hear it once/
Chorus x2
I keep trying a grow
They keep cutting low
I'm moving too slow...
So foolish /

Your ship is taking water, Don't drown/
Airplane got struck, Nose down/
Chorus:
I spent a lot of time...
keeping things safe/
Applying pressure to the
Breaks/
Let's accelerate/
Crash and burn never
It's mayday/
Verse 1
Spend most of my time
Living, cause death is certain/
Quit waiting for something
Perfect, That plan ain't working/
Beneath the surface lies
The purpose that we steady searching/
Plant gems in every sermon
Hope you can unearth it/
Not every verdict is predetermined
Let's change Opinions/
Catch life with every bar
There go murder sentence/
Heard the signal, know its urgent
So I came to finish/
Eradicate all the vermin
Watch me Burn a village/
Easy decision to make
If it's me against/
Dont get shocked in
Middle Reaching for the fence/
All talk no dribble
Heating up the bench/
squad chiseled... Drop the fat
Had to cut and Cleanse/
Perspective from the clearest
Lenz, vision grade A/
Spin that benz around the block
Like a raceway/
HIT eject before crash
this is mayday/
Laugh last, hit first
On that ray J

Calm panic... Distressed/
Loud silence... Clean mess/
Quiet Ballads... Deep breaths/
God Science... Cheat death/
Verse 2
I feel the venom from
My people l that I consider close/
Waiting for opportunities
To knock me off my toes/
Evil intentions Aint
really that hard to diagnose/
If I can sense the energy
In the air, I'm adios/
Can't really tell you what
I know, but let me you how feel/
When in the presence of the god
You should probably kneel/
Temporary be fraud
the truth is hard to kill/
Open wounds turn into scars
That Time can only heal/
Advice from the real
You cannot negate/
Hit eject Before you crash
it's mayday/
Chorus x2
I spent a lot of time...
keeping things safe/
Applying pressure to the
Breaks/
Let's accelerate/
Crash and burn never

Verse
I seen you draw your first
Breath, what a piece of art/
Heard you cry, when you
Wept, your tears filled my heart/
By nature's law, I will protect,
Hand keep you sharp/
A role I accept, I play
The leading part /
Left my mark on this
Planet, by standing by your side/
Put you on course to break
Habits that plagued our bloodline/
If ever lost or feel
Stranded ... I will be your guide/
Just know everything you
Searching for you can't find/
Take your time, respond
make haste but don't rush/
You'll be defined by the odds you face
That you crush/
Don't be surprised when you rise
Have faith, show trust/
Take your Ls with pride
Don't hate show love/
Never budge on your
Principles stand ten toe/
We all respect an individuals
Who can say no/
You're a solid individual
They can't say no/
If they ask you How you know
Tell em my daddy say so/
Chorus x2
I'm here to support,
Provide, teach/
Show love and enjoy
The time we keep/
When moments get
Deep, believe I got us/
I'm here to hold up
It's me, I'm your father/
Post Bridge x2
I'll be here for ya...
Every single time/
I'll be there for ya...
If not I'll try/
I'll be there for ya

Ain't nothing you can't handle/

By the strength of my supporters? /
Or is the press

Mastered of my grind
One more time Ima show ya/

Verse 1
Trying to beat the heat
So I'm playing Dirk/Durk
I'm the voice of my people
I gotta say it first/
Suede Clark white T
That's my favorite shirt/
In the desert
Whipping work like Heisenberg/
Entering places
I was denied at first/
Claim accepted to a seat
I was denied at birth/
Time, can't rewind
or reverse/
Answers I can't find but
still inclined to search/
For what it's worth I'm still
On earth feeling the heat/
These the dog days
Off the Chain... Unleashed/
Ducking sun rays
seeking shade for relief/
Never heard praise
only shade when they speak/
So their grave is where they
Sleep, six feet... Futon/
Unfazed by the weak
My strength way too strong/
Bread spread through
The week... Grey Poupon/
Feds raid the spot
Now the block way too warm/
Chorus
It's so hot...
Stay cool/
It's so hot
Stay cool/
Felt the sun on the back of my neck
Starting to sweat...
The ac broke
Bout hit the pool next/
It's so hot
Stay cool/
Post chorus (x 2)
Live at the barbecue
Party by the pool/
Only call ten
but hundred coming through/
Post-Post
We got ladies in their
shorts so hot oh yes/
Looking like a flower
Swaying in that sundress/
Lounge couple hours
Waiting for the sunset/
It's going down... Bout
To turn it up.. we ain't done yet/
Verse 2
Vibe'ng off of the substance,
No, we never abuse/
slight adjustment
To get me on a level with the moon/
Summer customs
To get us settled in the mood/
Lit up at the function
Bussin.. Stupid dope moves/
See I told you un
The temp is all the way turnt/
Bout to scold you what
Mess around and get burnt /
Flame-broiled
Ash found in ern/
I guess they never learn
Acting like they never heard...
Chorus
It's so hot...
Stay cool/
It's so hot
Stay cool/
Felt the sun on the back of my neck
Starting to sweat...
The ac broke
Bout hit the pool next/
It's so hot
Stay cool/

Verse 1
Time to do things
A little different/
New approach improved
Results - same mission/
On the road to reach my goals
And I'm lane-switching/
I see Success exit on the left...
and I Can't miss it/
Made a visit once before,
now I'ma stay a while/
Pyramid made with gold bricks
How I lay it down/ uh
I sacrifice to pop fly
You playing foul/
To level up and beat the board
I had to change the style/
Hear me howl, with my wolves
We harvest with the moon/
reap the benefits of labor
Manifested into fruit/
Started off this journey bare
nothing left to lose/
Plan a fit together Like
The first day a school/
Faith be the rule
Patience be the game/
on the Scale is time
The weight/wait is the same/
Idle minds... In their playground
burn in flames /
Heaven open your arms
Gods Embrace change/
Verse 2
As the sun starts to weaken
Days are getting shorter/
Adapt like chameleons
Learn to be like water/
Learn to be at peace
When there is no order/
To be a slave of the mundane
what a Torture/
Trapped in every corner
How do you escape/
Pressure so enormous
That diamonds take shape/
Hope is so gorgeous
Take her value by the face/
Create your own fortune
Right now don't wait/
Verse 3
I'm Stacking up the coins
breaking every dollar/
On my principles I'm poised
It's death before dishonor/
If my beliefs are destroyed
Label me a martyr/
My son will fill the void
And be greater than his father /
See I'm Smarter than most
So much I never prove it/
Sell my Sole for a
check I just can't do it/
anchors hoisted on the deck
Unrestrict the movement/
pivot before you step
And accept no excuses/

Verse 1
Are you fearless...
This ain't for the faint-hearted/
Can your spirit survive a
Land that's pure toxic /
Can you shine in darkness
Without being spotted/
avoid the coffin When
It's clear you are the only target/
Come in my garden
Get your pumpkin patched/
I'm known for arson...
You don't want a match
Sparking my flame
Have em running back/
Notre Dame
Leave em with a hunchback/
Pre Chorus
Out in these streets
You either trick or treat/
Play or be played for a sucka
Something sweet/
Vampires out for blood
Looking to feast/
Witches casting spells
Trying to trap your seed/

Skeletons coming out the
Closet digging Graves/
I'm haunted by the monsters
and I think I am afraid/
Post Spooky x2
Are you scared... Get out the way

Are you scared... Get out the way
I'm prepared, these demons I will slay/

You can't scare me no...

I ain't afraid of ya no...
I'm standing 10 toe 2 feet/
Verse 2
Spooky times
For the one who rhymes/
Friends slither turn
Snake and wanna slide/
The walking dead don't
Want your bread... They want your life/
Turn you to a ghost
And post it on their live/
GOLD teeth smile
Brighter than a Jacko lantern/
Hyenas hunt down making
Sounds, but that ain't laughing /
Trying to catch ya and
Hold you captive just because your status/
Just imagine dying
Over this here we call rapping/
Spooky x2
Skeletons coming out the
Closet digging Graves/
I'm haunted by the monsters
and I think I am afraid/
Post Spooky x2
Are you scared... Get out the way
Or Prepare to stare fear in the face/
Are you scared... Get out the way

Let me tell you bout some things that I really hate
Let me tell you bout some things that I hate/
Verse:
I can't stand it When they
try to take advantage/
Tryna play me for a sucka
But they found a Savage/
Do I always have
To prove I ain't the one to challenge/
I hate for you to get the point
I have to show you violence/
I hate being silent
When I have something to say/
I hate when folks get to
Hiding when it's their turn to pay/
I hate when I catch em
Lying... In my face/
I hate apologizing
For another man's mistake/
I hate clichés,
I hate canned responses/
I hate playing it safe
When it's clear I came to conquer/
I hate waiting
So you know I hate stopping/
I hate when plans get made
But can't get accomplished/
I hate feeling like I'm
The only one being honest/
I hate when comments
Get taken outta context/
I hate beefing with friends
And in the end, we can't squash it/
Then run to the net and post
It like its new content/
Chorus:
Let me tell you bout some things that I really hate
Let me tell you bout some things that I hate/
Post hook
We hate quitters,
Losers, spreading rumors/
Cynics against the movement
energy reducers/
Home intruders
With the plan to remove us/
Corrupt institutions
Swindle humans/

Verse 1
Let it soak in...
That was a vibe,
This is the moment/
Hell of a ride,
So much emotion/
We have arrived,
this is closing/
One of a kind, I am the token/
I have to own it...
Take what is mine,
I am taken it over/
Save what I have
Para De Noche/
Exotic my bag
Prada the Dolche/
Designer my tag
Pop for culture/
Infinite swag
My cup runneth over/
Never relax
I got the motor/
Run through the map
My drive Drive Chauffeur/
Held my composure
Got my diploma/
Look at me walk
I am all grown up/
Came from the thought
That I am a composer (Closer)/
Chorus x2
When it's all over
When it all ends/
A door opens up
Will you walk in/
We are the life force
I am the light source/
Standing up now
We ran the right course/
Verse 2
Looking forward to my next steps
Prepared for this mission/
For what it's worth, it really worthless
To find purpose in this business/
This art that I create, is meant to relate
But not everybody's meant to get it/
I put faith in fate, move at a pace
And embrace my decision...
