aye, can’t give you more
all i got is soul, bag of bones, and words thru this microphone
i could tell by your look
you aint never seen some shit like this before
well, welcome to the new world
whats the fuzz, whose the buzz,
who got bigger guns, who keeps losing sons, moment of silence, who is chewing gum,
this is dumb, it don’t make sense,
i got so many voices in my head who the fuck needs friends
this the shit that make you want to lose your mental, you can thank obama for this instrumental, this is your world I’m another foo, no matter what they say homie always stay true,
the reason that they loved ya, the reason that they’ll hate you
they got me feeling crazy, aftershock of the 80s;
this is true, this is all true,
15 an hour & now they think that we cool.
you lie to me
while i live by you
you say, I’m worthless
while i see you feed
off my blood & sweat
you mean, to tell me
this isn’t my home

I got a couple hours left to go; before I wake; become a puppet world takes control; on my duties; who's an ugly bitch and whose a cutie; who wants the shotgun and who got the Uzi; I got the keys to the fucken tank; I know you smell it officer i only carry dank; anchored down my conscious; but these urges have splurges; I could hear the story close curtains; this ain't make believe; this wasn't made to see; we were meant to bleed; fuck shit up & drop a seed; lose a couple teeth; make some enemies, i see they intentions but they aint worry me;
I’m too caught up
i was brought up
under fireworks, drum beats and outlawz
over sidewalks full of candles whats the cost
one must find peace at all cost.

they’ve kept me alive all this time.
vibes dont lie

i stand still and the world shifts
i want to stop but i don’t think i could quit
im pacing back forth & i can’t sit
my minds running now & I’m losing my breath

cause times get wild, that ghetto lifestyle
forgive me if I’m wrong I’m just a grown child
with an appetite that growls all night
I’m living life homie yea daw I’m alright
I’ve seen better yea daw well yee thats life
when will we learn, when will the tables turn

they feel the burn, and i hope it never rain

they could doubt us while we at it again!

i need an outlet to let the beast out;
release; breathe;
same one that don’t let me sleep,
twist and turn, having visions how the world burns;
go ahead toss your dreams in; its your turn;
i wish i knew then what i know now,
i wish i accepted what i know! how?,
state of neglect; state of disbelief by people showing no respect, better yet can’t even be aware of the concept, everyone waitings whose next?, make me proud, sing it loud, let the sunshine shine thru the fog and clouds,
tell me what do you want now?
tell me what do you want now?
tell me what do you want now?

lost in words
01:36

as if;
gravity don’t weigh a thing
as if;
sun and moon hang from a string
we’ve been searching for a book for some words;
something to let our minds free in this world; don't ask us where we went cause we don't know where we go, but we love to leave;
love to see new things;
even if;
they only exist in our head;
greatest destination we ever fled,
as i turn each page
i forget rage
i bend reality
to get my mind straight

i guess i could break
i guess i could take so much
before i shake, I’ve been up
now, I’m wide awake,
I’ve been saving the world since i was 8
i ve been trying to get by, find my meditate
I’m just walking against the crowd, get out my way
i be talking to myself give a fuck what they say
they could all hate, walk themselves on my plate
i got places to go, fuck am I late
i got these demons that follow me, i can’t shake
i got these thoughts that give cold head aches
i use to try to be nice, but that was then
i use to have a bunch of homies but now i aint
phased, amazed by what we see
this world is crazy and it made me
i guess I’m just another body in this count
i guess I’m just another muthafucker trying to figure out.

they say you changed quick
all i see is you be on the same shit
reaching your dreams doing things you’ve never seen
now how can that be
how can a young foo keep it so G
probably due to the life he’s only seen
its a problem trying to get to this green
its a way of life, a life you’ve never seen
working on myself, plotting on my wealth
they tell me I’m wrong, worry about yourself
up in my room dawg talking to myself
and to keep it real, i rather talk to no one else
no one sees the vision, vision in myself
i think I’m going crazy believing myself
if I do go, i rather go than no one else
let me find out, see whats it about
ill see you soon even if we change routes
as I get older all I see is older kids
all you need a hope, that shit makes you live
if i get some, you know I give it back
its on us to make sure we stay intact
i got to raise em up, before I lay em flat
if its the truth you know I can’t hold it back
homie this is poetry, i don’t even rap
or wrap around the thought of you leaving like that
hold on to the memories
hold on to the memories
hold on to the memories

let me tell you how this pain feels
how time slow when ever time heals
I had to part ways cause I had to keep it real
im losing too many homies this shit can’t be real
but it is, and it hurts
he won’t be last, he wasn’t the first
but he was close, so it hurts
so I’m here now grinding out this verse
but i can’t seem to find the right words
to summarize, our crazy life
death homie, shit just wasn’t right
all i could think of is your family,
i hope they’ll be alright; i dont feel right
i hope you found it, everlasting light
homies on a mission thats living life
getting away from bad vibes every night
anybody wanted to fuck with us they thought twice
greatest gift on earth lays before our eyes
daydreaming about another life
we came from broken homes so we felt alike
its a feeling like god aint treating you right
but we learn to love our pain, love our scars
16, mad dogs, choking on cigars
had it planned out, told my moms ill be star
hmmm, and then life hits ya
trip ya, better get a grip daw
theres no other options look around
what you looking for; will be found.

I’ve been feeling you for over a million years
I’ve been going on ventures, conquering my fears
bills and stress don’t seem to let me see clear
his collar is blue hand him his cold beer
& his skin is brown,he’s probably from downtown
and he talks with a slang always doing his thing
loved and misunderstood by the same thing
listen to the people while they whisper his name.
hes focused now, focused how
he can’t pay attention, we made sure of that
too much drama in his home and when he leaves
he carries it around in his dome, best believe
its slowing him down like a weighted vest,
so he puffs puffs hopes to get it off his chest
but its in ink, he’s impulsive, doesnt like to think
next thing you know you pushing up against the winds
knuckles bleeding knocking they won’t let you in
you aint that cool, you just another fool
you just another dude,
you just aint that cool,
you fucked up homie you should of stayed in school,
but everything you ever wanted, never wanted you,
and everything you’ve ever feared found its way to you,
i guess you are what you think, you become what you think
so tell me whats been on your mind recently?
I’ve been feeling you for over a million years
I’ve been going on ventures, conquering my fears

im not from around here but it feels like home
must be that good food smoke that slowly roams
mixed with a lil bit of hush, don’t tell
you can’t tell a crook from a crook cop,
skin tone won’t help either, unless your the one being booked and shook,
homie; what it look like
but thats an old tale, we got new ones,
new reasons, new wounds,
shoot at you and call it fate
and fuck evidence homie just look at them
now take a second homie and look at you
learn the game daw
learn the game
learn the game before these foos even think to get at you
i was never that lil foo trying to bang his random hood
while his mom is stressing out about not having food
but he’s cool, and all the homies think so too
and society well they feel the same way that he does
and his pops does what he does & that foos cool too
everyones cool, just a bunch of sicc az foos
bunch of you know who’s
bunch of lost souls
bunch of i don’t knows
who knows, but i know what i feel
and i aint feeling you

mash potatoes going to hit that gravy
i got enough flow to keep this muthafucka wavy

i could be your dreams,
but please don’t you worry,

but please don’t you worry
theres no need to worry
