Intro 02:08
I pick you up at times when im feeling lonely Keep it a hunnid Your my one and only I take your point and as i face it pronely Ponder mistakes Hope i cut these snakes in this lawn im mowing You help me get through my anger You keep me calm and floating You take me to different places All these places we’re going You speed up the time You read through the lines give meaning to rhymes I chase after dimes And say that im fine Inside im really losing my mind Inside im really losing my mind But I pick you up when im feeling rhythm Im hoping that your feeling the same when you’re chilling with him Me is what im getting at In a new mental space yo where my settings at Im just tryna figure where my head is at Im very bad at texting back Im sorry bout that but i just what to make up things that makes the audience clap Fuck the specific’s At thirteen was when I started to rap Hearing locker room beats Was fascinated by that Dammit I Pick you up when I feel like getting (High) But this is a class assignment so I can not tell you why Or even what im talking bout But I’m on it now Trying to live life on a cloud I hate when when people try to figure me out Like really I doubt that you could help me I don’t even know myself So how, you gunna help me It seems like Ive been going through hell Locked in my cell keep Recording shit i put on the shelf Feel like a failure and then i pick you up Things that i tell ya The shit i feel compelled to I yell it in the air you are my shelter my Escaped away from here but I Could never find an escaped from my fears So I put it in songs While holding back tears Cause damn a man supposed to be strong Is something I hear and something I’ve been told all along Is something I hear and something I’ve been told all along

Sometimes 03:26
Sometimes I'm selling like a prisoner A criminal A John Dillinger But really I'm Kind of feeling like A niggas been lost in conversations Of course when I write My pen is a sword Annihilation I love seeing my haters though On one hand it warms a nigga heart The other hand I'm just curious about your thoughts Am I your enemy And are you who you pretend to be if so then I'm amazed at the way you be keeping negative energy Close to your heart that keeps you from going as far As you desire You would rather pray for a failure Rather than planning for your own uprising Nigga I tell you There's enough money out here for the both of us So tell me what's your hustle Everybody wanna sit and claim there a hustler But not many know the struggle Going to hear a million “no's” before you ever get a yes Going to need thicker skin if you're going to be the best Do you really want it Do you really want it Niger I guess Nothing is wrong with a nine-to-five that's great I'm just really not about that life and I see it more as a safe route You come home and you find shit to complain about See if you would have did this is on your brain now Most of the world feels the same But most of the world will never change Most of the world ain't what it seems Most of us scared to chase a dream I met this dude once With a goal of being a rapper He said it wasn't a goal Nah he told me she was a rapper And hearing this nigga rap With this heart in the each of his tracks Is what brought me right to the fact That how am I saying I'm a rapper No work ethic You jerk check How you claim you do this verb If nobody's heard a word yet Shit is absurd Damn a nigga need help And I'm not sure but It seems like he never got discouraged Never discouraged Shit he probably did He must have fought through that shit Cuz what came out of his pen Made me a mannequin at his listening party Frozen scared to shake hands with him He doing everything that I ever wanted to plan For my own music I'm pretty sure he would say go do it So next time I say I rap then I can show proof If it wasn't for these flows And it wasn't for this cold boots Then would that gives an excuse for me to hate on him Is it? No I got to face the fact that I've been lazy and I'm chasing what seems unrealistic He spittin fire I don't know if he know it But he inspired me To spit some shit that sounding heroic Made it easy to focus Rolling weed up to smoke it I wrote this sober While walking through New York City Closer to the spiritual part Located in me Exposure is that the Do you do it just for the love No I'm doing it for my soul Now I can't change me if I wanted to So I just told the beat what I'm going through For me to succeed do what's uncomfortable I'm just talkin to the beat just talkin to the beat.

Flamed 03:06
So here's a story of when I was back in middle school not the shortest but not one of the bigger dudes not the ugliest just the one that's pretty cute but the way I used to dress was looking pitiful keep it a hunnid yo your boy had no Style s*** was so wild Other kids were so foul swear I don't know how they had jokes for days Damn lunch is up next had to hope and pray They weren’t any particular way about me If I find another table it looks strange without me trying to sit at the perfect f****** angle To see the show Hoping nobody look my way tho Always that one Niger that took s*** too serious same Niger saving the joke heading made last. period At the table always 15 minutes late Ass nigga Jokes loading And now I wait for him to pull the trigger I'm about to get flamed “Boy” “Im bout to cut yo ass” Flamed “Boy” Look at your fucking gap Flamed Boy I'm about to cut your ass and his shoes cooked damn everybody look at that 2X Don't get it twisted Cause some days I would flick the switch right Come at every nigga in the vicinity Get light? You're kidding me Was something like a streaky shooter like that Jr Smith type Yeah sometimes I would be the drama Cutting everyone's ass with jokes I stole from yo mama The show I'ma run one back one I saved in the vault That pulled out on anyone that I could tell was broke Say boy I'm bout get you That gets everybody quiet And when they silent that's when I give the opening line Say boy im bout to get you As I looked him in is eyes And said I'm breaking in and out of your house at the same time Looking back on that homonym Think of the logic cause if he's broke Then why am I robbing him My topic fell a part And now he got a chance My kamikaze plan Ain't work out He geared up bout to let these words out

Queen 02:49
You're so smooth Want to say hey boo it's so cool me just talking to you I swear I like your smile I'm really feeling your style I like everything you do I like your soft skin the way that you talk grin and laugh makes me want to ask If we could talk for a minute baby can we talk for a minute The way that you walk and no lies swear to God you're like a work of art painted by Ernie Barnes You morning cappuccino You caramel a dream that I'm hyped that I get to see though damn you a queen Going all in like i bet casinos Be my promethazine Wait no my evergreen That kind that willie nelson see’s Could be my better me clever be my better half I'm trying to get to see let's get this cheddar Chorus: Be the woman of my dreams Yo it seems Girl im looking for a queen (4x’s) I need Someone like you I need someone like you (2x’s) I'm trying to get your name get your number where you stay where you from can I come can I take it all the way with you all the way with you what's your name what's your number where you stay where you from can I come baby girl trying to holler at you I'm trying to holler at you I just want to talk I just want to kick it chilling in the backseat of my beat up Honda Civic I'm that kind of critic constant critiquing myself honest I'm beating myself up Not calm enough trying to approach you anyone looking like that probably has a whole dude meh dude and a half so stupid to hope you Might have some similar goals As someone tryna approach you That you barely know We’re on the high and by But I would be on cloud 9 if you were by my side What i can hope can’t I A guy with flow whos just Tryna keep hope alive

You say I walk around as if I don't have feelings And tho I struggle a lot with these things I don't struggle conceiling Sometimes I even wonder why my heart is even beating See I Could never figure out how to love or the meaning of it It gets easier over the times I see you enter my life And know there's an exit sign Cause I never want to fight Or try to work it out Cause even when im hurt you doubt Can't even go to church I'm bad at receiving the word It's like a bad game of telephone Na chill my head gone So even if you knew my past You'd say it's what you can't condone Can we use it as stepping Stones I needed help Sometimes I'm looking in the mirror and don't recognize my self What I recognize is someone content with going to hell Running away from love while chasing after the wealth I say I love you but it never works out I try to love but then it never works out And that's why I keep my head in the clouds So you can never tell I'm struggling now Thought you were here to save a broken heart somehow we ended it before it starts and girl I know what's hard but you were my target like I'm throwing darts I'm falling apart damn this world is frosted figured when we started acting cool I believe the key to unlock all of my heart you can keep now my house is not a home that's how I feel I'm so alone can I text you on my cellular phone what the hell am I on it's still on more than a cool with being friends look I just really want you back so we could talk again thats stupid too many arrows in This Heart of Mine f*** Cupid but you reloaded don't waste any time you shoot it I want to say sorry but sorry didn't do s*** was naturally gaining all your trust just to lose it you got a Nigga stuck between try or keep it moving I would have dryer eyes if you were by my side wish I could rewind erasing all of the hurt you were amazing shame that I ignored your worth his story never finished don't know if they'll ever hear this but I'm seeing all my demons as they're fighting with my spirit I try to love you but it never works out wish I felt love but no never works out and that's why I keep my head in the clouds so you could never tell him struggling now

America 04:01
They say that ignorance is Bliss well are you happy? ignoring the world's problems instead of you reacting Who knows maybe you could solve them become that revolution To bring your people out of poverty and destitution Let's chill with all that shooting bro for real put down your gun it's bad enough from police that a nigga gotta run And speaking of these issues dog you would have thought you won But you have solved all his problems and yours would have just begun I'm smoking on some herb now I saw like Martin Luther in philosophies But see my generation when I shoot we are in a broken system and my brother that's a Fact But we're in a broken system Nigga make it work for you They're jealous cuz we are black it's in our blood that we create And so they glamorize are thugs sending messages of hate No I ain't going to front like I ain't go through that phase but if I would have died then yo what difference would it make They see it and they take And that's the way they made their culture I blame it on their soldiers I'm od'ing just a bit But you know the shit I rap Is part of your tactics You try to deny it but homie that's just how it is No funny that's legit But we are taught to hate the devil Instead I'll take a moment play The devil's advocate No funny that's legit But we are taught to hate the devil Instead I'll take a moment play The devil's advocate Got to fight to be recognized As somebody with rights It seems What if we never left the Homeland What would you need to survive No plans for “ In a drought” Don't be a slave to your mind Then they could never touch us They could never still our art Never build a fucking prison Tear my family apart Being manly shit is hard Tell our sons how We show respect to the police and still get gunned down Man these tired politicians give the run around Keep telling my people how you care but yo it's funny how On a different thought I Found it amazing President got his different resources And time for tweeting But still couldn't fix Michigan's water But he got all this fucking money for putting a wall up Just raising the border I'm just calling out what I feel So swallow it like a pill Man we are celebrating the trap Yo what happened to Lauryn Hill We rapping about getting money While young'uns are getting killed And cops that are homicidal Enduring it cuz I'm still Dreaming just like I'm Martin I'm fighting just like I'm Malcolm Sit in my seat like I'm Rosa Fight for freedom like a soldier A brother born with a dream So behold the fucking King Can't except for how it is Cuz mama taught me to think And when you're ready That this world will be yours So hold steady To the mic are y'all scream and applaud I be bored with where I'm at Voice feeling like it's nowhere on the map watch the news I swear it feels like they ignore me cuz I'm black Like I ain't got issues Like damn my brother was killed And y'all ain't bring tissues But talk about we should recycle Or how a gay couple shouldn't raise a zygote it's your religion tell me where it says that in the Bible The same spot that said Jesus was white? Sir changed do you know a European with that first name Or am I thinking too hard Being unique means just to be who you are And fuck shooting for the Stars I'm trying to reach another planet Don't know how to do my taxes But I know who Uncle Sam is And I know I Sallie Mae Sticks her greedy ass hands into my pocket After every month cutting into my salary What you want? Because I'm still broke Man I wish I was lying Man I wish it was a joke Wishing that I had a mansion Going places on a boat But you do run out of wishes So you don't run out of Hope

Reform 04:02
Lights, camera’s but no one said action Thought this was a movie way you see them gat’s blastin Ducking under the tables Don’t even know what is happening Damn i shoulda missed class Im hearing everyone panicing Hearing screams from the hallway Followed by nothing except Thoughts in my head saying nigga your probably next The hope vacates the room Cause we all know the fact We closed the door knowing damn well it won't hold him back Fuck did I do to him I didn even know the guy My heart is jumping out my chest It's getting cold as I'm Thinking of ways to escape Wondering how someone so quiet could have so much hate Built up inside And yo we started at 8 it's only 8:25 This nigga packed up his car And on the way on his drive He said today is the day I'm gonna take a few lives I bought a couple of guns And no body even asked why Like I need an automatic just to shoot a deer I hear his foot steps as it's getting near My life is flashing through my eyes And it's so fucking clear How can I live anywhere in a state of fear How can I live any where when I can basically get killed By somebody who doesn't want me here If Its the gang violence then I pretty much could just have disappeared If it's a cop then he would get out in a year No it's this mother fucker bugging out cause of some voices that he hears And you let him buy a weapon like it's from Sears How many gotta die ‘fore the government thinks maybe it should care Why they keep them bullets flying through the air But Lord if you get me through this I promise not to complain Bout my mother that's doing drugs to the point she can't feel a thing My father that barely visits cause too much is on his brain Or the struggle for me to get out this hood that you put me in But Lord if you get me through this I promise to be more cool Bout the scholarship essays that even got me into this school or the many hours it takes My brother didn make it through How can he judge he don't know what the fuck I been through Don't know why this world so cold III Worked so hard III Lost my soul Don't know why this world so cold III Been afraid of things I can't control We got people dying keeping it the norm What the hell is wrong with a little reform With less violence maybe we could get a long Have me go out side with fears of being gone Some parents I’ve got All I wanted was attention Y'all always fighting every fucking day And my best friend moved away All alone no one looks my way Everybody's mean so it seems What I mean to say There's a new kid at my school Said what's up to me but that would never work parents say because he's black He might rob us I grew up just believing it cause that was what my father used to teach me as a fact My life’s feeling hopeless I want to leave it all but i need some folks to go with Shoulda made me feel special im alone And no one knows it Cause nobody gives a fuck Don’t have anyone to trust Is anyone in this classroom? I hear the police coming fast My time is up won’t make it in jail Man this is bad I run and hide a couple of minutes would be the max Shoot through the door why they thought this shit would hold me back shoot through the door would tell them exactly where i was at This looking more like there won’t be a happy ending but that Wasn’t expected i see im finally out of time Gun to my head let me clear my mind Im sorry Think I want to say I'm sorry life is hard I thinking that I'm sorry that I pushed myself this far I'm certain something's wrong with me a victim of my thoughts I bought a gun, a simple drive to Walmarts all it cost Damn I just lost it Looking at these bodies that I just now turn to corpses Made everyone a casualty myself's who I'm at war with Guess I should feel fortunate they treated my life with such caution
