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

Verse 1:
It's very nice to meet you baby girl
girl I'm seeking
The way you switch it up girl you looking like a season
the way you looking now is kind of spicy like some seasoning
And that's the reasoning that we here right now
It's cool if you ain't feeling dude
if I ain't yo type
Then tell a n**** like right now I ain't gon die
Keep it a hunnid
If you're f****** with the kids
then what's up keep f****** with the kid
I'm just trying to do it bigger than niggars that came before me
you look interesting as f***
I'm just tryna hear your story
Not going to lie I want to f***
Cause im tryna chase the glory
If you looking to get married girl I'm not sure that it's for me
Cuz for real we in our 20s
still trying to get it right
How you know that you're going to love me for the rest of your life
I might start looking ugly by the time I'm 35
So right now I'm just trying to catch these vibes
Hook:
Vibe with a Nigga one time
get high with a Nigga one time
ride with a Nigga
Verse 2:
It's very nice to meet you baby girl
I was thinking
that maybe we could chill and just hang out
for a weekend
Go outside and get lost
Not trying to frighten you
just trying to find the Vibes you give off
I kind of like you
But I might not really like you at all
If you a Psycho
ladies act like that's a f****** award
Watch me walk out of that door
Cuz I can't do that s***
this ain't no f****** movie
if we end up not working it out
you're not going to f****** shoot me
and you say that you playing
but I couldn't be more serious
You tell me I won't leave you
I tell you you're delirious
Read my lips cuz I can't make this any clearer
So before we even try to get to this
just remember that your
Vibing with each other
Having some good times
not trying to meet mothers
Baby each one of us
got to get our own grind going
Get your own grind going
Hook:
Vibe with a nigga one time
Thats fine with a nigga and im
There grinding with you
Vibe with a Nigga one time
get high with a Nigga one time
ride with a nigga one time

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

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

I'm feeling like dropping s*** now
I've been going ghost for a while
See you coulda been had the top spot for a minute
But nigga my timing is now
The way that i switch up my style
These niggas can’t figure out how
bitch i need S’s with a longer line through it
Guess i say im bout them dollar signs do it
Spitting what-evers on my mind You just
spit the same words a hundred times
And i’ll never prolly never ever go pop
Claiming that her heart is hard to get but her throats not
Nigga i hardly ever spit
But im so hot
Niggas be addicted to my shit like i sold rocks
Or i sold crack
In the back
of the all black
Nigga just dropped and i know for sure fact
Better than the top 3 favorite of your rappers
Thought that i was s’pose to keep the peace
But please you can’t help it that he’s a beast
Now these ho’s from the past wanna see me
Remember these the same ho’s always leaving me on seen
Now they see i got dough seeing that the whip is clean
I never got ho’s acting like they aint been mean
All you get is dick and a number 3 with cheese
But goddamn never heard a nigga so nice
Nigga from the dark side wonder how im so bright
And i like my women all real want a not knife
Nigga been the shit since y’all got light
Nigga Been killing this shit since the 5g’s
And im top whopping on bitches who never liked me
Flex is on a hundred, na a thousand spitting truth up in my raps
Basically im always keeping it a stack
Basically i wanna slap hands
On the face of the president cause that man
Is a bitch disrespect him with a back hand
While i crash land into rap
Lifes a bitch
Watch me hit it from the back
Watch me asthma attack
On the instrumental
Bitch I'm kimbo
In ya chest like a menthol cigarette
Y'all are, smoking if you not thinking I'm the best
Put my shit out on cassette
Still do it better
I guess you knew I'm clever
Name Carries weight like a sumo wrestler
You can say I do it but I do it better
You can't handle lactose way you getting cheddar
Way I flow yea I know hate
Living my best life yea and it's so great
And niggas want beef and it shows I would go wait
Your girl wants beef so I'll bring it to her door like postmates
