Woke up early went to sleep around like 9 in the evening
Hungry as fuck been tryna eat vegan
You know the reason
Its all going to shit if I trusted the TV
They'd have me believing the sky is made of 8 different cheeses
Got my lips in the pursed position
Every time I pass a woman & she has to switch her purse position
If she knew where I just left & what they offered me
I'd have to change my # just so I could make her daughter stop calling me
Never said that I was ballin
What's the hold up why we stallin
In 6 months I showed what I can do when I'm gifted with the proper resources
Tired of going to work & taking peoples orders
They ask if I'm recording still & when's the next show
The posters in the motherfucking window bro
You stared at it right before you walked up in here yo
And I wonder why they keep tryna call me an asshole
I'm at the point now where the comments start to get ya
Not to mention I'm bored with the cities architecture
You think I owe you something cause you showed up in the past
Homie this free music is how imma pay you back
Unless it was monetary then just put it on my tab
You don't know what you want if it bit You in the ass
Why aren't you famous yet? 3/
his is the end of how You all see me
Or if you see me at all I'm on to the next part of the journey
Or maybe I'll just fade away into obscurity
Only a select few Will know
Arrive fuck shit it up and then leave was the goal
My fans know I'm Hall of Fame with the flow
Guess I just gotta remind myself
So I...get up and lean on the edge of my dresser
Staring at my reflection I'm like

Runaway

I've gotta...few Worried thoughts on my mind as I'm walking out
Feeling seasoned like that dinner at ya mama house
You might not get that if you white like Obama's house
Man I'm sorry for blurting outta rotation
But I can't understand what anybody is saying
And nowadays it's like anybody is famous
When you ask me if I am I'm not sure how to take it
Hov said it's a game I just play it to play it
It's folks that know my name and everything that I write
Some of my biggest fans couldn't tell you what I look like
I might not be the biggest motherfucker on the planet
But I...booked some shows with the cards I was handed...
We're from a neighborhood where all you hear is shots
So that's why we took a shot
We just doing what we was taught every time you see us... run away now (4x)
We learned to live for the applause
We hoping it never stops
But when that days arrives
You might see us
Runaway now (4x)
If I told you what I'm thinkin about
I'm pretty sure that I'd start freaking you out
Its weird when these people start seeking you out for your opinion then in public they start bleeping you out
Saying that our music ain't a craft cause we rap but ya daughter knows every single word to Outkast
And Jason Aldean was Wayne for Halloween
And Trump did a skit about Hotline Bling
Twist that shit however you want
If you really hate the music why you switching up the way that you talk
And I know you say I'm arrogant I'm aware of it
I know I got some problems and I'm close to taking care of them
I ain't get all of the things that you was handed
But I wouldn't me the man standing here without that neighborhood where all you hear is shots...
So you say you from the hoooood/What you think that make you hard?/I bet when they pull ya card you'll be the first two....run away now 3x

Put Me On
02:59

Jay Z, you gotta put me on
Kanye, you gotta put me on
Bobby Ray, you gotta put me on
Dr Dre, you gotta put me on
Is this what yall want me to do
Be out here begging for a co-sign just to impress you
So you can say you know the guy that knows the guys that knows em
Then walk around the city flaring up your noses
I suppose it's.. not everybody I come across
At first I should've been rock then they said become a cross and make some gospel
Then they told me pop would sell
All those kats you said was poppin never made it to the shelf
They just boasting online like a defensive back
He got broke his coverage changed and he had to move back
I love all the support but baby here's the facts
Getting signed over night it just don't work like that
I want the longevity it's more than just a rap off
To quote Megan Jean you've gotta work your fucking ass off
For the sake of arguing I'll humor you all
Can I borrow your phone because mine is off
Universal, you gotta put me on
Warner Music, you gotta put me on
Interscope, you gotta put me
Atlantic Records, you gotta put me on
Is this what yall want me to do?
2015 I been rolling
I read the Forbes list & got focused
These kats could buy me 30 times over
I'm not here to take the game over
Who would hijack a sinking ship?
I'm left with two options sink or swim
If I keep my moves proper I'll find my in
I don't need you reminding me what time it is
Or the years it's been
Or who you see in the crowd
With all due respect some of yall just need to calm down
I can't be the super hood that makes trap
I have no desire to put a dance in rap
I do what comes natural
No afro
Did I pay to get in Paste Magazine?
No asshole
Everything you see is strictly off the hustle
I guess it couldn't hurt to grab the phone and call a couple like...
Jay Z, you gotta put me on
Kanye, you gotta put me on
Bobby Ray, you gotta put me on
Dr Dre, you gotta put me on

Underground King

Rumor has it I'm an underground king
That's arrogant to think of myself
I only mention underground because I'm giving em hell
I be the last man standing when their ringing the bell
So bring me the belt
Like whooping's that you brought on yaself
I'm tryna broaden my wealth and the people around me
Ain't too many second chances no sequels around me
So it's do or die I'm living my life similar
To that movie with Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal
I hit zip codes to Busta rhyme like Flipmode
I'd rather have 6 shows than have 65 & have to lie on IG like it's lit bro
Ya camera angles couldn't fool us dick-hole
Nobody fucked with the city before I was here
Nobody thought that I'd be having a hell of a year
They ask how I do it I tell em Sean Hayes
And Debra Messing it's all Will and Grace
A wise man told me I should make my own lane
Cause the industries fake
I hope ya Metal gear is solid there's a million snakes
And they all want ya publishing
Shout Petula Clark cause she still ain't getting none of it
You type ya net worth out and then publish it
We counting quiet you would think we all studying
Yea I ain't gotta deal yo I know
But my name has been said next to the King of Soul
And I can't sing a note
But they sing my quotes
So I couldn't be mad when I heard Macklemore
You gotta sit and decide on what's gone matter more
Respect from ya Labradors like attaboy
While you driving a Rav-4
Or do you want the money rap money rap
Mason Margiela yea all of that
You do you and just let me do me
Make sure you introduce me as a fucking underground king

Proud Of Me
03:04

Back in college my professor had said I was on the wrong track
Now I'm on tracks
How ironic is that
Back at Fridays when I thought that Laura was in love with me
We ain't spoke in a while and it's fucking with me fucking with me
I dated Dayna right after I's fucking with Bri
Shit was weird as fuuuuuuuuck but I kept it G
Back when Javonn was talkin to Courtney
And I needed my family to support me
Applied at Kutztown and tried to take courses
I really just wanted a place to record
I need to get outta this city cause Bristol's a bore
Went to Philly and did a showcase for Chief Rocker Busy Bee and that ain't go nowhere of course
I think I'm just tired of living up north
Need to define what I'm doing this for
All I ever wanted is for you to be proud of me
Like getting my first degree
Can't remember the last person that was proud of me
Since I ain't get my degree
Back when....hold on......Cause all of those feelings are gone
When's the last time I was home
I mean the feeling you get when you really belong
I am the man in this city if they telling you different I swear they are telling you wrong
Sorry it's taking me long
I don't condone the wave that these WACK dudes is on
Sorry it's out my control
I wish you could hear the excuses I'm told
I wish you could see the envy in their eyes
When they find out this is not a disguise
Every now and then I rap like them
Just so I can feel like some of y'all out there proud of me

Delusion
01:37

I'm the greatest the cities ever seen
So acknowledge it
I ain't talking rappers when I tell you what my logic is
Know you tired of hearing bout me killing shit
I been in the streets slamming rappers like I'm littering
All these niggas trash and I said it, now what you gone do about it
Damn Floco you ain't gotta be so rude about it
I been chillin drinking whiskey out the bottle
Tryna get to the bottom and find the root of the problem
My eyes are bloodshot
I sleep on the ride to the venue
Tweet the city then tell it I'm in you
Now somebody better bring my bread...Red Lobster
Count it make sure it's all there...then we rocking
I'm way too familiar with how this shit goes
I hear all the lies in your flows
I'm so surprised to hear how well it goes over
With kids that can't afford all this high priced clothing & these cars in the showroom
Told a girl that I don't rap I make show tunes
Rome wasn't built in a day, yea I know fool
Telling more cons than pro's that shits borin
I'm an asshole well what else you got for me
I grew up poor
Like the new Scott Storch
So my show price now got me feeling important
There's only one plan and that's keep recording
And don't i look.... don't I look good?
Didn't I say that I would?
I will not stop even when my trunks under the hood
And don't i...don't look good
Still Lil Kev from Millbrook
