All On Me
01:32
|

Not the best, but I'm not the worst
The way my brain work a gift and a curse
Nigga like me been hurt since birth
Probably will be in the dirt, or even the hearse
Ain't got time for the what ifs
Gotta make my music and dip
You niggas wanna be rich, that's it?
I'm tryna make sure crackers don't fuck with my people again
It's been too long with the bandages
Decades of the damage
Look how we manage, rather graceful
Can't blame me for not being faithful
It's kinda hard out here
I preserved through the years
Dodging all types of fears
It's clear I'm not who I used to be
Had to outgrow that
Clean fade to to the nappy fro, now we got the locs
I'm black, beautiful, iridescent
The skin like onyx
We built different like iron man armor
Live with honor, nothing more nothing less
We blessed, but we still stressed
Surviving off weed and deep breathes
We blessed, but we still stressed
We blessed, but we still stressed
Surviving off weed, and deep breathes

How Do I?
01:47
|
|||
Couldn't keep the burdens off my back, attached to my vertebrae
Heard the rumors they say, but don't acknowledge them
Keep prospering even when the ruins remain
It's the last days, can't be afraid
We still puzzled by the maze
Puddles in my way
Problems in my face
The issues I neglect aiming at my neck
Gotta use my head, play it smart
We were Backyardigans, still we knew our part
Where the time to
Pack dispersed, now I'm a loner
Traveling man
Freestyles his lifestyle
Wanders without a plan
Hands cold and bruised
Took a few hits to the dome, saw his brain flew
If only he knew the consequences originally
Life isn't perfect, but I don't think it's meant to be
How can I enjoy pleasure if I don't go through pressure
How can I enjoy sunny weather if the rain fell, never
I think I'm getting myself together
Used to think I didn't measure
On the road of becoming better
But how do I keep the pain on tuck
Fuck, guess it all begins with that first real effort
How do I
How do I
How do I
How do I

Drum Me (Look At Me!)
01:12
|

All I see changes in the world I don't agree with
It's egregious
Breathing in marijuana cause I don't want to be sober til my plight is over
But I can only watch it expand
My pupils bounce and dance in attempts to find something secure on this broken land we call home
My eyes low, but I still see bigger
It's mad pressure on a nigga, but imma still deliver
Well aware too many people got it out for me
Thankfully Chow and Jay crafted alchemy
I was on the balcony, looking for a strategy to combat my agony
Questioning mortality
Found the answer, I require gas in me
Fucking up my brain chemistry
I prefer papers, but I don't mind the fronto leaf
Sluggish, need something to help my energy
Pass the weed
It was hard for me to speak now the world tuned in to my speech
Oh look at me
Look at me

Burnin’ Up w/ Chow
02:06
|
|||
Every step we take becomes nothing but faded memories
I'm gassed up, operating off sour d and my blue dreams
We bleed deep; all the way into the soil
Life is perfect because I'm black
Niggas was born royal
Black planet, but do anything for the white dollar
I'm astonished
We blow chronic, never chronically online
Live the harder way, I'm dropping pennies and dimes
I wanna shine, but guess it's not my time
I be in my mind, trying figure out the proper sequence
In my zone, breaking down the defense
Me and chow some rejects, that's why we keep the papers twisted like Keith Sweat
Close your mouth when cinema speaking
You might learn something for once
I'm burning up just like the sample is
Blowing runtz in the direction of white kids
I mean well
Receive blessings from the wishing well
Niggas not hustlers, only time they touch cream is at Carvel
Vanilla scoop, don't ask why I'm like this
I'm just the results of what life can do to you
Living proof
When death comes close to you
Hundred bands of bamboo
Gon' crack me up way harder than the tooth
Shine brighter past my words full of grace
Afternoon to ya kid
Boy it's been a bummer
Burnin up within
The flame off the torch gassin me up
Turnt blue from the grees
I need me a better win
Quit ya day job pal
Buddy buddy gorilla grease
Growing strong in the east
Been in the north
U can see me chillin by the feast
Piff burnin
Madeira wine portugees golden
Ha
Locals laughing at the lines
But they steady sterio
So typical of the losers
Who barely passin physicals
Hunger ridden on the fat of the skin
Burnt ash and the lashes from the wind
Hard hits while the storm comes within
Burning loud
Neighbors coughin of sin
Ta
Kid stop the yapping
This zip burnt faster than ya last one
Cuz grace by my hands
Loading up the cash son
Jeez louis
You be thinking you a bad one
Don't play with me
Cause now you playing with god son

Sympathy Route
01:35
|
|||
Walked outside and the sky was painted orange
Sweating profusely like I put on my best performance
Lord help us
Hell is upon us
Dancing in the rain to sade
The kiss of life taught me to cherish the day
I feel no pain
Expose my scars like a tattoo
Bullet proof soul
My love is deluxe
Pick the easel up
Staring the canvas
Wonder who's going through it the worse
Myself or the planet
I feel stranded, isolated
People love the music, if only they how hard it is to make it
Dangerous
I take a puff and I'm on vacation
I complain, but I know I'm gods favorite
This really is one hell of a life, ain't it
Can't explain it
Reality draining, that's why I stay faded
Took the flower to dome piece
Now everything pretty
I'm not ready
Thought I was good in the west like Ja and the grizzlies
Nah, not really
I'm getting too old to be acting this silly
Live by my shoe size
I apologize
I just need more time
All I need is more time

Chemdawg

What's gon happen when the world stop spinning?
Papers stuffed with chemdawg, I might be at my limit
I see the world different, tripping, set it down I can't finish
Hol' up
What's gon happen when the world stop spinning?
Papers stuffed with chemdawg, I might be at my limit
I see the world different, tripping, set it down I can't finish
I'll never die, got infinite lives
Load up save file
I been surviving for a long while
Tired of it
Threw the pen away, writing rubbish
My bucket was full of tears
Wasted too much bread through the years
Can't save nothing
I'm a glutton
Blowing trees just to feel something
Can't press a button and go back
Just gotta take life for it is my nigga
It's a drag
I been having these thoughts since hall pass
Who knew these problems would last this long
Laying in the bed that I made
Bills barely paid
Trying make a way out of minimum wage
Flip a coin, 2 face how I view my days
Disengaged
All my niggas got to maintain
But what can we do to stay sane
Stay sane
What's gon happen when the world stop spinning
Papers stuffed with chemdawg, I might be at my limit
I see the world different, tripping, set it down I can't finish
I can't finish nigga
I can't finish

Protection
02:43
|

Ayo, make money, money
Take money, money, money
Can't lie, the haze got me thinking crazy
Stay busy, but I miss my old lady
Stuck on you, but it's all cool though
With my brother Chow though
Young sucio, need to clean up my act
You know the shit come easy like jumping jacks
We on point like thumb tacks
Why you speaking if you ain't talking facts
Your words fall flat
All this pressure, but l I gotta relax
Missing my heart, maybe one day I'll get it back
Whoever's above me, just give me protection
Don't know where I'm going, don't know where I'm heading
Fuck the world, but I still need my blessings
Love the world cause it give a nigga lessons
I know I gotta keep the flame lit
But it's hard when everyday is all the same shit
My body aches, it needs a vacation
But a spliff is a better sensation
Fuck a top 5, I don't want to be your favorite
I just need to fix up my mental
Everyday I'm fighting with the devil
You win some, you lose some, I just want it to be done for once
In the crib, looking for some weed crumbs
So I could burn trees and find peace
Money, weed and beats all a nigga need
Shit is going take us overseas
That's a guarantee, never hopefully
Cause I'm protected by those that stay above us
It was never luck, it was written like the Lp
So think twice before you decide to fuck with me
Use your brain little nigga
Whoever's above me, just give me protection
Don't know where I'm going, don't know where I'm heading
Fuck the world, but I still need my blessings
Love the world cause it give a nigga lessons

Do you dirty like old Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Fuck out my face, lack of funds bout to have me go nuts
Tryna slide moms a couple hundreds
It's what I owe her
They telling me I'm the one like Oprah
Never do it for exposure
Most of y'all lame
Can't wait for sun to stop ya rein
This shit right here like the needle in the vein
Me and Micah G came through like Bron and D Wade
Nice at this, really the specialists
Please get off my dick
Never giving you a single thought, but you convinced I'm your nemesis
Stop tweeting, get a job kid
Fadeaway dice roll
Light stroll
Landscape side scroll
They fast forward your forwards
They talk online bro
Sideshow
My cost of admission was different, it's fine though
Face it
This is lightning striking twice in the same uptown basement
I used the spark to spark the facelift
Treat the night shift like the day shift
I treat the day shift like the graveyard
We got the same 24
We got the same star
Play your cards right, you might just do something
Blue dream by the bakers dozen
Slumber party on me, these publications bugging
My team putting up numbers
Boy wonder
The real McCoy
Probably hit the cloysters with your cousin
MG

Gone For Too Long
02:29
|

I hope these tears worth it
You can hear the blood and sweat up in these verses
I'm malnourished but that fire in me still burning
Look me in my eyes, you can see that I'm fucking livid
Yakubians fucking up the way I'm living
What I want to do to them, type explicit
I miss my smile, nowadays waking up with a grimace
Painted on my face, talking to myself,questioning my damn fate
Why the only time I can make a song when the feelings in my heart rather strong
I don't understand
I gotta be a man
But I'm holding on habits that are setting me back
I can't help but feel like I'm trapped
Living in America, how can I stay relaxed?
Young and black, so I'm only given pieces and scraps
I know my pops worried, cause my room looking like a hurricane ran through it
I feel useless
But I'm worth more
How long will me and my family be poor
White man got luxury galore
Meanwhile I got problems I can't ignore
Whitey on the moon, and whitey in the sea
It's a black planet, explain to me why we not free
Explain to me why babies can't eat
Explain to me why the homeless gotta stay in the street
Explain to me why my future look bleak
Explain to me why everything we do is obsolete
Explain to me
Explain why I'm talking on this damn beat
Explain to me
I been gone for too long, I gotta stay calm,
I gotta stay strong

Fly Wit Me
02:08
|
|||
Let's take a trip to the astral plane
Where it's nothing but energy, and we don't have no names
Where the bitch ass cops can't put my niggas in chains
And the dumbass government can't make me a slave
Fly with me, get high with me
I don't want to do this alone
Hold my hand in case I can't handle all that is shown
This my first time, are you experienced?
Have you been to electric ladyland
Let's take the chance, got a couple grams
Colors coming in, what a beautiful trance
Let's advance
Tell the truth I just want to dance and get away
Every step I take tells me this world isn't safe
Why you think I take the purple haze to the face
And find myself walking in a everlasting maze
But I need something else
Wise man told the psychedelics will help
So fuck it, let's lay down, close our eyes and melt
And tell each other all the things we felt
All the things we seen, was it real or just a dream
Stargazing, reminds me life is amazing
But these expectations got me hesitating
I mean
Nigga like me wants to sit by the sea
Listen to the trees, maneuver with the breeze
But nah
Just another rat tryna get to the cheese
But when you get it they squeeze it out of you and claim the victory
I promise, I won't let these devils trick me
Fly with me all the way to the unseen
Where everything is red, black, and green
They say the color on me is dirty
Shit I prefer to say it's clean
Fly with me
Get high with me

Third Eye w/ Dayamore
02:57
|

I said roll it up, light it up
Let that shit kiss your lips
Sit back, just chill til the weed starts kicking in
We really live what we write, it's like magic
Chiefin on a spliff til it starts ashin
Really zooted, too high, in manhattan
Tryna find a way to survive, I keep on crashing
Probably got to change the way that I'm living
Im too ignorant
Stuck in my ways, keep my lungs filled up with haze
It's like every day a rainy day lately
I keep on blazing up so I don't go crazy
Eyes looking lazy
Wrote this in 33 seconds, Tracy McGrady
Channeling
Jay Cinema
Dayamore
Ascending
To the fifth dimension
Is it God or Goddard
Law of assumption be the power
Manifesting causing wrinkles in time
So sublime when I rhyme
Cause I'm a queen author
Fine tips rip these new age rappers like Excalibur
Head of this
Banking in like chancellors
Matriarch so divine
Make them move like magis
preferably Balthazar
Bearing gifts myrrh for the apostle, the mkst highs ambassador
Bitch
I'm a messenger
High off the third eye
I can't even lie
I know we here for a good time
So inhale
Let it fly
Baby let go
G5 93 let's get high
Look
Playing by the gates of hell
It's just Jay & I
Loading up the 9
Blazin L's
cool J's
14 shots to the dome
OP Fishbowl
Nukes gon blow, when u get what im preaching
They be like Daya UAP
I'm just an ET trynna phone home
trynna reach in
Let the light be shone
Tap into source, these be the words I poem
Mycorrhizal networks, do the root work?
Turn my back to the bullshit, this a cool shirk
I'm alive
Puffin on that pain
Shrooms for the grounding
I'm eternal
I'll survive
Honey
This that ether
Magic
Black so divine.
Super novas
stars always shine
It's just brotha J, Mary Jane, and I
Forever on this type of time

What A Day
01:50
|

Trying live and the best me
Plagued by my worries, when will I be stress free
Counting on my heartbeats
I'm like this cause I was raised in them dark streets
Let me tell you what was taught to me
Shit not free so you got to go and take it
Survived the storm, but it's still out raining
I want more, swear my brain racing
I don't got enough, but yo I won't complain
Long walks to nowhere just to ease the pain
And I'm smoking on prerolls I don't know the strain
But it get me through the day
But it got me through the day
I escaped
I escape
But it get me through the day
But it got me through the day
What a day in the park, took mad steps
Sat back, and I reflected
What a day in the park, took mad steps
Sat back, and I reflected
What a day in the park, took mad steps
Sat back, and I reflected
What a day in the park, took mad steps
Sat back, and I reflected

Put The Word In w/ Chow
03:00
|

It's like the city turn green
When around me
Hustle hard
Puffin strong
Make em dance grimy
Chow and Cinema
Cruising Piffin strong
On the Indica
Whicha bruh
The piffy steady hittin long
Man it's never been about this
About that
Triple THC
And all these enemies around me
Back the fuck up
Make em bleed
This crazy mentee make me tragic
Hit the duffie
Toast the glasses
It's the world full of flashes
Time fast
Do the dashes
Hit me up
Knock the racket
Is we dumb
Is we mackin
Yea
Brother stay focused on the mission
In a crazy world
Full of fibbin
Never lie
Never listen
Find ya peace
Find ya riches
In our cities in the east
We so hungry
In the belly of the beast
Preach
But we never get the mention
Man it sucks when you pay attention
To the signs as we restless
Yea
It's like the city turn green
When around me
Hustle hard
Puffin strong
Make em dance grimy
Chow and Cinema
Cruising Piffin strong
On the Indica
Whicha bruh
The piffy steady hittin long
I'm off the lucid blue
Tryna figure out what to do
With my youth while I still got it
The piff hit my brain and I gain some different knowledge
Told me stay off the ledge, got to keep ya head protected
Invest in your heart, I keep mine in a cage
Cause when I leave it open it be bleeding for some days
Type of scars you can't heal with a band-aid
Shorty's arm and touch the only times that I feel safe
But she let me go, dropped me soft
Wish I could turn these feelings off but I got too much care inside of me
Should of stayed in school, been a scholar, have some dollars
Instead I talk about how I feel, making people clap and holler
All over the globe
But let me sit my ass down, I got some shit I need to smoke
It's like the city turn green
When around me
Hustle hard
Puffin strong
Make em dance grimy
Chow and Cinema
Cruising Piffin strong
On the Indica
Whicha bruh
The piffy steady hittin long

Love 222 You
02:51
|

My heart heavy, but it won't break
But I've been hurt, knocked me off my own pace
Won't show my face
You can't see the shame I display
Scars don't fade
They accumulate
I wake up feeling lost in the race
Am I moving fast enough, is my feet collecting dust
I was told to take my time, now they telling me to rush
Can't budge
I be in my thought's remembering how life was
We'll never get those memories back
We making new ones
Tugging on my weary spirit
I let the tears fall and disappear into the dirt
I'm overdue for a rebirth on earth
I was thinking tranquility was a myth
Then I smoke a spliff and my brain twists to the state of living
Question if I make the right decisions
I'm wishing
My mind travels in search of something different
Seeing sounds in a room full of nothing
Kush cakes so I could rest without rage and stress
Why is life the most beautiful mess
And why is death the answer for peace I won't get in the physical
And why the land I call home barely livable
And why are we all looking down to our phones, everything is digital
And why don't we kill politicians that never follow through on the promises they gave us
It's just the principle
And why I still want love to you
Despite the bullshit you put me threw
Your birthday is coming soon
By the time you hear this it'll be in the past tense
But I'll still be making attempts to make sense of it all
My heart heavy and it won't break
But you did shake it up
My heart heavy and it won't break
But you did shake it up
My heart heavy and it won't break
But you did shake it up

You Lie
03:01
|
|||
Memories try to fade, but one hit from this jay and they're all restored
It was a storm when you left, but now it's clearing up
But I ponder why the fuck I'm still tearing up
It's ridiculous
You said you wasn't gonna leave my side, but you lied
Now I'm traumatized, walking with these swollen eyes
I couldn't fight it cause you interfered with the mission
I feel slighted, you said was gon be different
Now im tripping, coping with these hurtful feelings
I resort with the herbal for the inner healing
I wonder if you know what you did to my spirit
As of late I been slow, walking incoherent
Got my foot on the gas, I can't stop the wheels
It's not a fantasy, this shit really is real
You was my galaxy, now life feel so surreal
Had me on the hook, but you dropped the reel
I guess it was for the best
But it hurts coming out of my chest
I guess it was for the best
But it hurts coming out of my chest
Love calls, but I ain't picking up
When love calls I ain't picking up
Love calls, but I ain't picking up
When love calls I ain't picking up
Got my mind made up
Like damn, we could of walked, talked it out
Make you laugh when I remind that your my other half
But now we're walking on these different paths
Forever really did come fast, shit is so sad
And I know that I wasn't perfect
But you told me I was still worth it
Gave me your heart and said I deserve it
But you took mine and threw it in the furnace
I could still feel my shit burning
But I still got to thank you
It's all painful, but you remain my muse
Felt it in your soul, everything you said was true
Now when I think about you all I feel is gloom
Had me in love, now I'm stuck on the dark side of the moon
Keep a place for me inside of you
Love calls, but I ain't picking up
When love calls I ain't picking up
Love calls, but I ain't picking up
When love calls I ain't picking up
Got my mind made up
