Yeah I know the beat is rough cause my flow is rugged; I rhyme as much as I breath so you damn right I love it; living our life off of one quote; quote is fuck it; we look good; smell good; hand picked out of gods gardens so you know: so you know these bitches gotta love it; we were given this world so what you want from it; I was given this life so what you want from me, we running to it; they think we running from it; we'll they could think as they please: cause it pleases me to know they think of me; in there time; time that ain't free; so basically the hate they give; they investing in me; rhetorical question daww who you think is stopping me; ding ding ding answer is nobody; you see I live inside my mind I need no body; no flesh; no body to impress; which means I can't die;I can't digest; no shit I express; question those who say they're the best; invade your fortress & dig out your fkn chest; cut a vital vein & let you bleed to death; whistling no worries tell me whose next; stressed I got the world up my mind fucken pressed making thoughts; & living a psychotic chaotic mess; to lift it off I must I must de-press; de press I did; de press I was; now I'm moving slow thanks to all them drugs; and to be honest with you I'm embarrass; for all the distress I was in & caused; now I'm sick; ill; nauseous; remain cautious before regret snatches your life hostage; obvious it wants pain; homie that's priceless; to see something full of life go lifeless; I sacrifice it all for these fucken vices; but y'all don't want to listen; fine by me; go ahead; fuck around; get to know me; I keep it up; put it down & hold it down; y'all don't see me; I am here like gravity, how long was the process for my galaxy so it can be possible for me to come to be; that's a lot of time; if you ask me I think it was meant to be; so now that I'm alive & breathing ;Ima take my time keep my pace; prove shit to no one but the soul behind my face; what god wrote down no human can erase; & the words I speak no man will replace.

Eye Know 02:17
Eye know; it will never be the same; As the world changes we share equal pain Eye know; it will never be the same; But it don't have to as long as they know my name starts with desires to fulfill dreams: think of a plan that works out perfectly, evidently it works nothing like that; cause shit G just look at me; naive I was; naive I am; cause even now after all this shit i remain the same; keep a little hope; & little dope; a little prayer just for me to cope. Eye know; it will never be the same; As the world changes we share equal pain Eye know; it will never be the same; But it don't have to as long as they know my name Life's a trip when your trying to go places; you forget names & confuse faces; thoughts blazin; hearts racing; destiny chasin; money hungry & your hunger is impatient; dangerous we become when we lose hope; were addicted to it like feins to dope; plot; we don't; give a fuck; we wont; the world is ours; & that we know. It all; it all; it all changes Who can you? Can you? Blame this! Eye know; it will never be the same; As the world changes we share equal pain Eye know; it will never be the same; But it don't have to as long as they know my name

No Funds 01:54
Many reasons fuel this fire treasons made me tired trusting people who transpire falling victim of higher evil they admire; on the hustle; making funds any way possible; cause you know foos like us ain't about to get hired; empires moments away from being expired; but remain in denial; acting like they really ain't fucking with our style; rise from the dust; evolution; mankind; took away from us; receive paranoia; afraid like they know ya master plan reveal it from ur itty bitty fucked up brain; elusive dynasty rises among us; peasants; royalty; those stuffed those empty;those that think they know me; those who wish they never met me; a slick; phenom; nemesis; induced demon; all inside your cranium; I'm that thought you wish to be gone; but i won't till I self destruct; erupt; corrupt; scare em like they got hiccups; look up; above the imagine; masterpiece surpassing gimmicks: we create the image; which cannot be mimic; you hear it in stories; watch in movies; dawww we live this; this aint no picnic we sick with it; can't see our vision? well; we don't expect to see you either in the finish. Yup. Yup. can't see our vision? well; we don't expect to see you either in the finish! Yup. Yup. can't see our vision? well; don't expect us to diminish! Yup. Yup. cant see our vision? Well. we don't expect to see you either in the finish!

I'm from a village at the end of the blvd;where I learn to crawl & get right back up after I fall; best of all had wars; earned most of my scars; would be walking & had run ins with the law; learn to stay sharp; high like a hawk; scope out; keep an eye out for when shit pops off; & when it do foo you better know what to do; if its all a game homie i promise you dont want to lose; peddle away as fast as I could; tight grip; as I should to get away; if you were me homie you would do the same thing; thinking that soon my bike will fly to the moon; like e-t; no g-t. in my mongoose having handlebar dreams; handlebar dreams; all we had; doze off; send wishes to the universe; I hope the good vibes I send out hit reverse; I give a piece of me: peace of me in every verse; running from insanity it's elusive to run away when it lives inside of me. Go on; peddle on; no matter where you ride; make sure you get there; fast or slow can't worry what they say; cause they dont know; that day by day I continue to roll. It all hits the nerve; it's all so pure; infected with ambition I need no cure; Are you sure? Are you sure? Yes im sure; what the fuck; the fuck; I look like sir; I'm from the gutter; right next to the curb under the sidewalk i was running on to rest a sure no one talked & I remain clean as we kick up dirt; where shits bad but shit could get a lot worse, where sins a bitch & that bitch loves to flirt; where foos act hard but be so hurt; it will consume you homie & that's for sure; stay slick; stay elusive or your done so go ahead run; run; no matter where you run; that beat inside your chest is a dying drum. go ahead run; run; no matter where you run; that beat inside your chest is a dying drum Go on; run along; no matter where you go; make sure you get there; fast or slow can't worry what they say; cause they dont know; that day by day I continue to grow. Handle bar dreams is all we have Handle bar dreams is all we need Handle bar dreams is all we have Handle bar dreams is all we need Handle bar dreams is all we have Handle bar dreams is all we need

Spin Slower 03:12
Sometimes I wish I can make the world spin slower; in order for me to enjoy moments that I miss; memories; emotions haunt me until I no longer; no longer exist. I've been on pursuit on things that I do; I do em cause they make me feel true: true to myself I receive some type of freedom from myself; that self I try to be for every one else: I guess I feel peace when I let me be me & be like fuck everything thing else: put on a beat & let the beast be beast; let the war inside my head enjoy a little piece of peace disease it must to be to feel the need to stay true; succeed; even though all that breeds enemies, I want health; wealth and everything else; they depict to be great; I am him; no one else; that's the way it is & that's the way it flows; I wonder why we live & what the fuck for; I'll keep on asking till I know till then these words be eternal like the view of a horizon on a Cali shore! Sometimes I wish I can make the world spin slower; in order for me to enjoy moments that I miss; memories; emotions haunt me until I no longer; no longer exist. I've done some growing up I got a lot more to do; habits let's behind with things untrue; & just so you know that includes a lot of people too; you cannot change someones beliefs; you cannot explain a light they have never seen; so how you expect them to believe; in the same dream same ideas; by any means don't let em change you; stress you; upset you by the way you do you; cause in the end; when it's your time ; trust me; no ones going to be like hey can I roll withcu; they could give a fuck; & to be real I'll doubt; I'll doubt even if they give that; they say we've never seen hell; can you imagine that? shits crazy shits amazing; how your life can do a fucken 180; today your here; tomorrow maybe. Sometimes I wish I can make the world spin slower; in order for me to enjoy moments that I miss; memories; emotions haunt me until I no longer; no longer exist.

Chaos 02:29
Were from the same planet but live in different worlds; beneath our cracked windows behind our faded curtains; I know we share pain homie; that is certain; throw doubts; fears in barrel filled with gas and burn em; let the anger keep me warm; as I navigate deep in the cold valleys of my mind that harbor storms; fog too thick I can't see where the fuck I go; so I guess this is when faith comes in & destiny takes control; I got my grip on hope & it cuts like thorns; they trying to pull it away but I can't & won't let go; what the fuck for; struggles real & so is the pain we undergo; like a river I can never stop this flow cause if I do I might drown in all that I know petrified so row row my boat till I hit paradise; paralyze by wave of lies that drift me off course; but of course living against the current the way my life goes. This whole track suppose to reveal my life; explain the agony; I attained in my brain and what remains; reasons; emotions; soon I as try explain I remain speechless; too complex; voices in my head speak dialect; only I understand; all elusive; all elusive; all I could say; if I paint a picture; place a canvas behind my head & I'll blow out my fucken brains; illustrate my mind; insane resembles who I am; world was dark ; I was lit; reality too strong; take a shot; I can't sip; fear stuck in my throat poisons my soul as it drips; pain gives me a foul taste & that's why I spit!

I can't let my motives fade away; enrage if yall think I'ma evolve to another slave; tell me to behave; this life ain't yours; so you have no say; you cant dictate; in how I write each page & illustrate my rage I engage in ways that make the voice inside my head escape all mistakes that never existed; world turns & I & I & I end up fucken twisted; to you im just another misfit who cannot quit this addiction; day by day getting lit; enslaved by temptations I fuck patience ;ask her for greatness my name she will mention; release my middle finger to release this tension; im still asking till I ask the finest question; we just us and they think we flexing; I'm shaking; I'm over stressing; I want to find peace; while I'm missing pieces; who took em? Who shook em? Who overlooked em? I feel like a mutant with the fears of a weak human; I'm still a student of life; I'm still getting use to my back full of knives; my days are still full of fucken nights; look in the imirror I get lost in my own eyes; confused of what I am; or will become. Where the sun sets is where we from No ; no; I can't stop; till im done Till my brain fries and my lungs don't pump No, no, I can't stop till I'm done Where the sun sets is where we from I set my mind free to the beat of the drum; im another soul searching for success in these orange county slums full of stress; foos talk a good one but I was never impressed; some foos were down and others plain dumb; most scream fuck the world but always see em on the run; i cant imagine me; if me wasnt from where I'm from; my life sometimes makes me go numb so I find pain just to feel alive; I use to pray but now I want to fight; fight myself; I need no help; why it feels so good fucking up my health; funny how I want to understand the world but can't even understand my self or my girl; I feel the stares I hope they aware I'm taking shape of your biggest fucken nightmare; I speak what I need to fuck what they want to hear; gave them love; turned in hate; fell into fear; they always ask for truth but don't know what to do when it's finally here.

Heaven rejects no place to go so in planet earth we roam; after every breath & blink body continues to decompose; adjust to a life that wasnt agreed or meant to be; settle in a scenery that you never seen; you see; it's hard to smell the flowers when your world reeks; & the truth stinks; im being pulled away by shadows fingernails bleed while they screech ; you learn how to swim quick when the sewers deep events full of trauma keep on fucking with my psyche; my feet on the dirt with my head above these goldenskies; im finding a true purpose between all these lies; absorbing this pain to get a taste of this prize; you can envision this vision but don't use your eyes; I'm getting close; to closing a segment; that mean't no good; its hard to explain but harder to be under-stood; so I stand on top these bads and I'm here for good; I want it all & the shit here is that I think I could. Everything happens how you never imagine it to happen; life happens; looking for a way out we been money mapping; gravity gets heavy im quick to lose control I cruise it steady; don't mind where ill end up but the question is will the homie be ready; more I think the more clouds fill this brain; I'm just like you homie I want my people to stop stressing; when they ask me if I got it I really want to stop guessing; im lost; where I need to be is who the fuck I'm addressing; i have a problem with foos telling me what I could & cannot do; who u testing me or you; u confuse on the essence of truth; it's harder to explain but easier to complain; so ima keep on pushing on this elusive lane.

Darkness 04:02
She wants darkness I close the curtains; let her see the fire burn inside my eyes; light her world up while it destroys mine even if it kills me you wouldn't understand why Drifted off same boat; ended on different coast: I must've of dived out looking for a mermaid; lost in sirens; traveling underneath; anything to be by her by any means even if that means everything we ever had didn't mean a thing; maybe your an illusion; fantasy that lives inside of me; a suffocation of imagination I'm trying to let breathe; in all honesty your the one I want to be with; everything you do Is just so unique; I hope you feel it; like I feel it in me; I know it's real cause its killing me; this is where we are we were meant to be; just let it be; let it be so I did; I let it be & now you & me are free; what more can I ask for you tell me; they could try but never quite be me; thoughts that make heart race; knees weak & hands shake; my body vibrates;& that the right away; when were together get away to the abyss; a beautiful death immortals can't resist; time fades away so do our memories; you miss the old me; I miss the old you; maybe we've never changed only way we look at each other what we have cannot be duplicate by no other forgotten promises; look at the moon it shines for you; let the sun explode if I'm not telling you the truth,I need to say what I feel before my mic goes mute; I only get you mad cause I think that's shits mad cute; were after love; but you & I know I'm not romantic but your the reason I'm blessed to be upon this planet; your voice calms me down when I overthink; begin to panic; frantic I've become; stunned how much damage been done; bummed by the fact; I can't take nothing back; I'm rolling thru your block & I know that shit knocks; I know we got dreams let's race it to the top & even if we fail that don't mean we got to stop just keep going ; make the world pause; it was me against the world; now it's them against us; be exactly what they said we never could & never was; I've learned some lessons you can tell by these scars; some you can see; feel; & few take away my sleep; but ima do what I've always done & follow my gut; I know were both lost & I hope no one finds you; that way I won't worry that I got to lose you; a lot things change & so do people too so Ima hold on to anything that makes feel true; I rather let you kill me then die without you; & I know your afraid because I am too! She wants darkness I close the curtains; let her see the fire burn inside my eyes; light her world up while it destroys mine even if it kills me you wouldn't understand why

Be Mind 01:40
If our love is real then it must die; stand up for what i believe in cause i cant lie down; wait for the perfect you to come around our chemistry will cause a reaction that melts away the atmosphere; impulsive passions forbidden actions burn earth to ashes matches intensity anxieties; you release a vibe an aura; sets it all free receive eternity it makes me feel unworthy; overwhelm by the vibrations of your frequency a being like you is meant to roam free; but I know you won't leave; but I know you won't leave ; so it's up to me to get up & just leave. They want to be in love; for-ever; fuck ever, i do it all for you; addicted to a high that only you provide; if your always in my thoughts then you will always be mind. Let us shine until we lose our light; let em bring darkness it only makes us more bright; let em whisper low while our love takes us high if your always in my thoughts then you will always be mind.

Ghetto 02:06
Some say I'm walking on a thin line but all I see is sunshine & cracked gravel; I'm from the city that the whole world want to travel; while we wishing to get out; away from this place; feels like a coffin; homie I ain't lying; feels like we're the poorest ones yet the hardest ones trying; something ain't right; the whole world got it twisted; the ghetto I is what makes this fucked world gifted; y'all don't get the picture; switch your filter; or your angle; far from each other; far from strangers; like moon & sun; cause a ruckus don't trust us: cause we don't trust you or your word or beliefs; streets our play ground we play in peace; we tag the world and make it freeze; then with just one touch & we set it free; we set example on faith & will to believe; even when everything tells us not to; thoughts loud find my reflection to say fuck you; I want to see me dead in the eyes; and ask me with the little life left inside; "Why did I trust you?" Why did I trust you? I guess I'll never know.
