Who knew when I was 21
24 projects in and I ain't done
Riding shotgun with Unc in 05
Sunroof open hands to the sky
Don't shoot me down I think I've hit my stride
I don't wanna die for I get to see the Eiffel
Spending more money than I thought I'd ever like to
Funny that the ppl that you really wanna help are the first ones to spite You
From here on out I only make plans for Nigel
First they'll build you up, Frank Lloyd Wright you
Come to find out nobody ever liked You
Stay low and take notes
I cover the scene
Caution tape around fragile egos
You kats punk rock with a day job
Im Jay Reatard
I'm Marshawn Lnych on the Seahawks
I march like late winter in the Northeast Ohio
They say my name right since I re-did the bio
We keep higher I said we keep going higher
To the seas, from the falls
Through the fire, through the wall
All my dreams, never fall
Build me up, take me to what I want
They call it prolific but my intention is to mimic ya nose dripping
Yea I'm cold with it
Reap the benefits my soul lifted
Climb the mountain in those toe slippers
You can't walk in my shoes so ya know
Be one with the river just follow the flow
HTML in my city we follow the code
You fuckin with a survivor
Destiny's child Olajuwan with the Sky hook
Propeller through acts of God
Bobby Axelrod mixed with Axel Rose mixed Calvin John
Son I'm catching every moment I'm owed
Parallel to the curb it's not even close
In my hood we been feelin like why even vote
We need more stars that look like me at the top of the polls
I been at half mass but I'm bout to get swole
And then a shadowy arose...
To the seas, from the falls
Through the fire, through the wall
All my dreams, never fall
Build me up, take me to what I want

Old Days feat Dara Marie

My Momma said she miss the old days
Said she miss the old ways
But you gotta have it your way
Daddy said he miss the old days
Said he miss the old ways
But you gotta have it your way
It'll all be o
It'll all be ok
I met this girl when I was 10 years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She said excuse me but we just moved into the neighborhood
Me & my momma moved out from the woods
We aint never had a house before
So my uncle just bought me a basketball court
She had on a Charlotte Hornets Starter Jacket
Larry Johnson playin Grand Mama
She got game like AND1
We was kids we would never understand some
Troubles of the world that would come our way
The street lights were the sun some days
My father never had a dream of having a son one day

Aging like a fine wine imported from Spain
While everybody sounding sorta the same
We been hustling like Papi had a shortage of cain
Black mirrors turned on ain't no shortage of fame
I been running outta patience being cordial with lames
Staredowns are all boring when you moving the same
Dont come for a nigga less I send for
I'm Francisco Lindor
Ya favorite rappers mentor
How long they lock you in for?
Yall gotta read these contracts and start researching ya contacts
I see the bullshit from a mile and half back
Fuckin these musicians since Thelonious & Parker
I refuse to starve or to sacrifice the art
Leaving crumbs for the artists, that's how you get ants and we ain't Archer
Nobody can change if they ain't taught ya
You are now walking into a renaissance
The revolutions being streamed and televised
Everybody can tell you how to do what they ain't doing of course
And every budget thins out before the artists involved
Another mortgage and a baby now they carting him off
It was never one way to live the life of a star
But what's worse, the fame or the promise of such
They used to pay us in booze till we all smartened up
I tried to share the game & open the market up
You took the quick bag & ya plane got stuck
Such is life, never openly share ya price
Theyll share with the city & you're underpaid for life
The people in these offices dont understand ya strife
All they see is numbers and they never outside
I'll take Marquees over ya board room seats
Connect to the one signing the checks honey please
And known that you are now walking into a renaissance
The revolution's being streamed and televised

I'm being too hard on myself
I never could ask for your help
Now that I been focused on self
It's like everyone's asking for help
I'm settled in but I never did settle
They sippin on tea & I refill the kettle
Just let em talk, that's all they gon do
Get an ear full
If you aint tryna elevate the culture what you here for?
Actin Ludacris, that's a move bitch
If you aint in it for the movement
Kats aint sold 100 records but they talkin like they makin a homicide
These gray skies got me feelin alone
These gray skies uh
I paid dues, I paid tithes
You played tough and you played God
Told me to think on the safe side
I was doin 90 up on 85
I'm loyal to progress
Tryna open the hydrants
I trust the process I am Joel Embiid
I just gotta prove it when I'm back on my feet
Are they jealous of me
Or they realize it's something they never could be
Dirty shoes on my feet
But I just made a thousand 11 to 3
You're missing the point
I'm being too hard on myself
I never could ask for your help
Now that I been focused on self
It's like everyone's asking for help

You don't have to say just what you did
I already know (I know)
I had to go and find out from them
So tell me how's it feel (oh-woah)
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me

It's a full time job when you're not around
I'd rather be with you somewhere with the windows down
Everybody leaves when the seasons frown
I walk through the streets and I hear no sound
Nothings better
When I leave you
Can you tell me what the halls look like in your hotel room
I had a conversation today I shouldn't tell you
Tell me when ya flight gets back I'll send a car for you
I love you like I love songs about New York
But the distance makes this hard
I never thought I'd miss ya flaws
I tell you but you never care anyway
I never thought I'd miss your flaws
And the gifts dont help at all
I just want you to know where the world revolves
Because baby
Nothings better
When I leave you

I write best during the ice age
Every verse I'm handing out Rocafella chains
I lead Bojack to the water yet again
Im no longer here for your encouragement
If you wasnt here for the We Believe Warriors
I need you to lower your voice during the choruses
Point me to the I'll story of your origins
I never understand how blacks became oranges
These bars they put us behind aint come with pause buttons
I ain't fussin
I'm here to kick it like Futsal with no coverage
You took all available stools with more luggage
And we just want our flight to leave uninterrupted
Its Bizarre how we've come this far
And I ain't never tried to put a needle into my arm
But I.. dismember and give to limb to the song
Just to be overlooked by the list that I'm on
Longevity
What we do now will impact the future of our kids heavily
That's why its fuck you now before we debate legacy
