They say what goes up...must Cometh
But I been in the air the past five summers
Off the books...doing numbers
Live show one of the best in the country eww
Can't stop me Nah
Cause God got me Yes
Can't Stop Me no
This is my one with the universe flow
Whoever said it won't last forever just had one plan
Treat every time like you only had one chance
so when it's all over, you can say you did it
fuck haters, fuck critics
I create the perception & let you run with it
Start the rumors watch the idiots have fun with it
Hit the trash receptical on my shit list
A little mainstream is back on my wish list
but only for the publishing checks
On this microphone I'm publishing threats
Im on the will call list for ya set
Rush the stage xlr's round ya neck
Attend ya funeral pay my respect
You see it's all back to checks
Make hits get paid like Cabrera
If you're listening right now & I'm someone you're not aware of
My success & yours are truly two different things
reebok pumps strapped with two different springs & yet you still thinkin...that what goes up...must Cometh
But I been in the air the past five summers
Off the books...doing numbers
Been touring since Famey hooked up w/ Jerry Wonda
Can't stop me Nah
Cause God got me Yes/Can't Stop Me no/......Mean

I bet you thought that I was finished
Yea I understand my mind played similar renditions
Same song different lyrics
Took the charge for the game on one end
On the other ball fake stayed on my pivot
Took a shot now I'm gone lost a girl & got a couple more
Gotta DUI & yet it drove me to the bottle more
Friends left & rightfully so
Couldn't tell if I blew a gasket or Im ready to blow
Now Psycadelphia's good so I'm ready to go
Im not that same dude you thought you knew I'm letting you know
So save that gossip and them handshakes and asking for dough
Ignoring favors & this other shit you THINKIN I owe
Cause It was just a while ago that you tried to clown me
Had me on the defensive end like Jadaveon Clowney
When a person reveals I remember what they show me
Before you walked awayyyy I remember what you told me you said....
Some things you gotta learn on ya own
For instance my pop can't teach me how to travel the globe
That's not a diss its a fact cause he never been
But the goal is to do things that ya parents didn't
Im taking my own advice/don't care if you think it's right
Ordered the grilled salmon and put it over some rice
She puttin out for tonight but I'm too focused on these goals
No soccer but we can kick it when Im known and my name is sketched in....
Until then my times limited
I learned that trusting everybody puts you in predicaments
I learned that tryna help means Im waiting on you to blow up
So you're on the ground floor when the other leeches show up
Smile Mr Torres, get ready for ya close up
And we'll be right here waiting on you to fuck up
But you know what, it all makes our come back worth it
So remember what you said for you get mad these verses you said
I ain't bitter I'm better
I ain't trippin Im steady
And I ain't won but I'm winning so please hold the confetti
Don't champion me until I deserve it
But its ok to notice how far we have come on this journey
I got IQ on the drums no Patrick Kerney
You to busy smokin loud but I'm a different strain no hernia
They say Floc they never heard of ya
But in due time I'll show I'm immortal
I waiting on you to try me like a tutorial
Then tell me my hand he's forcing you
I instigate the fight then pull my camera out & post it
James Brown & Otis name another artist closet
To putting this city back in motion
The funny things I gotta leave so that they can notice
To each is own so miss me after I'm gone or love me while I'm around
For every glass house there's a couple melted down
Into glasses for summer drinks on a patio under trees
The sun shines off her rings she looked & told me don't blink

Peep the style & the way the honeys sweat us
No...anti perspirant or cartoon printed sweaters
Yea, we dressed appropriate gold tucked in the crew neck
Watch gon turn a few heads
Now that I got a few checks Im different
But not enough to act reckless
I guess this
Stress drove me to Slamming car bombs I need to be in the Guiness Book of World records
Take over your city first the world second
In one second I'll get to you but Im only one person
Starring role in a class act Im always learning
Her accents British & the coffee is Turkish
She told me outside opinions not to be concerned with
She said the city won't love you till you turn rich
Then they'll act like they loved you from the rip
She's flying back to London in the morning
....Excuse me... I think we're ready to order
Now when the last time that you felt like this?
So when I touch down baby you know what it is
My dude said I hear a few that don't like you & they might try to hurt you
Im in ya spot the next day, it's quiet you can hear a pin drop like the old Sprint commercials
I couldn't give a fuck cause these pussies is fake they women fertile
And I never make a joke about my unborn child
If I do have one Im pretty sure it'll be a while
Plus I gotta lot of living to do between now
And then so passports up lets take a trip
To all the white girls that say they love black men
And all the black girls that think that I only like white women
I love you all from those sundresses in the summer
To those oversized shirts draped in the fall
Bae you got it
Don't let em tell you nothing otherwise
Ya Arms round my neck & my hands under thighs
She tell me Im the first rapper she liked in a while
You know you just messed it all up right

I grew up on Marchmont ave round the corner from Mike D
It was me Javonn, Kayron Dayion &Khaaliq
Back around the time when the Griffeys got released
We put the basketball court up & was blocking off the street
Back when no one was a fan of the heat
Dwayne Wade could've played & we still ain't comin out before 3
And I would hate when them Kats from other parks came to ball
Cause it turned into a brawl
And if it's bout my Fam then my backs against the wall
I'm scrappin like ya transmission stalled or when you can't afford to fix your engine
Desicions decisions I had the royal blue mike air Max & black & white Scottie Pippens
Philly girls rocked the micro braids
And that when I would typo age
On the blocks wit the 40's & new ports
Tim's & jean shorts
Declining them weed shorts
These street lights gave me new life
I went in an adolescent and got reincarnated as a contestant of the
Summer time where the kids sleep
Summer time you lose all your sleep
Summer time where the kids sleep
Running around in the streets
Saying gimme that run that shit
And I'm running around in circles
Losing my mind losing my mind losing my mind
Summer time and I'm losing my mind
It's hot as shit out here
Bitch
If you scared stay inside and protect yo name
These kids lookin for blood & wat set you claim
Unc said don't condone but you still gotta listen
Out for this transmission for you get caught slippin
Too young to buy cigs old enough for ammunition
They'll empty the magazine I ain't talkin take the posters out
It's murders everyday not just the ones that Fox will post about
And you ain't seem nothing roll ya eyes and close ya mouth
Or end up on a t-shirt in memory of
These kids are bored and that's how they burn this energy up
You tryna play both sides you too gimmicky bruh
You either trapping or it's fashion ain't no mixing it up
The old G's I knew ain't Diddy bop in the club
A head nod while he tryna that tooly in tuck
And they ain't never glorify them long nights
Told me I ain't belong get home & write this the wrong kinda life
Finish school book a flight get money stay outta sight
You grind in the winter just to shine in the motherfuckin
Summer time where the kids sleep
Summer time you lose all your sleep
Summer time where the kids sleep
Running around in the streets
Saying gimme that run that shit
And I'm running around in circles
Losing my mind losing my mind losing my mind
Summer time and I'm losing my mind
It's hot as shit out here
Bitch
Summer time when i first got to Macon
Supposed to be in the A but that's a different situation
So my plans to make noise regardless of ya ordinance
Taking over this city is of level 20 importance
So I'm at this little rap & shake every night
Giving empty pounds knowing he ain't gotta dog in this fight
Not a rapper in this room got shit for me
Tried to give me the cold shoulder till radio got hip to me
Hold on I told my secretary to get a list for me
I did hot like the sum beastie flow
Runaway girl peace leaving & asshole
Catch me was a sleeper and you already know
Cherry Street still get me play all over the globe
Just when you may have thought the curtain was closed
Without you was in a movie
Suburban got em movin
Still tryna clear that sample on Sock it to ya
But if not we hit the booth and do what we gotta do
You Stuntin on me now but Holla by next June in the

You heard some things that's unfavorable
I know how it looks bit I don't favor em tho
I gotta bigger dick than ya last
I mean Imma bigger dick than ya last
Humors no longer my defense mechanism
I've grown a lot farther than my own pessimism
My heart and my brain been working on a different system
But when they get together it's like Jordan and Pippen
Got way more Nas than yeas like it was written
In the stars for most women to dig it but never get it
I roll with the punches but somehow I never hit it
She said I had a chance but I never did pick it
Too busy tryna pick out the community chest
Rather than pull from the top of the deck
You see my first go round I didn't get to collect
She told me she ain't understand a word that I said I text her back like
I know what you need
I know you said it's never good to assume
But we both got nothin to lose
If you object them just know I'm not the type to try and exit the building
Walk down the driveway and get in my feelings
Either way I'll be chillin
But ya eyes tell me somethin different
Don't try to lie and say you wish they didn't
We're both surprised that neither is flinching
In solo efforts to increase the distance
Between us
If we together no couple could see us
Cause we'd be gone on a plane a new Country to greet us
Don't know the language but Zieta can teach us
The country side compliments all your features
Like the production on my latest
I'm the greatest and you know it
And even if you heard it before
The way I speak it is in what you adore
I'm kinda cocky but for you I'm showin off even more
She walked over put a lock on the door then clinched her hand on my jaw and told me

The Weird One
03:54

Our whole generation got told we were special so therefore nobody wants to be lumped in with all the (ordinary people)
And some can be Evil Kanieval
& some people gotta wash the Ferrari's that's how it goes
So I switch flows & nip those thoughts in the bud
Feeling Immortal track 5 off of Indicud
Im into us but baby I'm on a mission too
I want marble on the floors & in the kitchen too
I gotta get some fresh air it's been a long week
I think I'll hit up happy hour maybe have a drink
A few more & Ive lost my motivation in a drunken conversation w/ a dude that lost his dream so he's slick hatin
I try to encourage him & say that we all can make it if we just keep patient & persevere
But this little voice in my ear says....
But he don't wanna hear it
Two steps forward then (just come right back)
I'm ok with being the weird one
I'd rather that than appear dumb
I'd rather die enormous than live dormant that's how we on I
Yea you tryna lease, we, we tryna own it cause
(you only live once in this world)
Thats what Drake said
Things ain't been the same since they enlarged my Jpeg
I gotta keep it humble for I turn into Wayne head
Aint tryna fuck these superstars then turn into K-Fed
You listing accolades & desired recognition
But shit I don't recall like the Bieber deposition
Go find a weight bench flex on
You're one missed paycheck away from hanging at an Exxon
Lookin tired asking for change while reminiscing on ya good year
Funny thing about it that's my worst fear
It's hard when you know you're the shit but gotta clamp up
Cause its not the time to release so pull ya pants up & don't be a dick
In due time you gon know what it is
Hardest part in war is not burning bridges you gotta cross so it don't feel like its two steps forward to just (come right back)
I'm ok with being the weird one
I'd rather that than appear dumb
I'll either die important or die recording
I can't settle for portions/want a 3 car garage with a Porsche cause
(you only live once in this world)
Well I'm screwed
Cause with all I wanna do in my life I need two
My mind telling me Im D-12 I need Proof
That it'll all work out like they said in our youth
Am I the only one doubting his purpose?
Am I the only one that can't get the wifi working?
Am I the only one that been got tired of twerking?
Watching chicks with no rhythm dance like they in cursive
Then she wanna pop a pill & tell me how she thinks the worlds filled with Satan
Dude she's really hot stop complaining
I guess I should be thankful or something because she noticed me at all
It's bout an hour past last call & I think we should go
(but she don't wanna hear it)
Two steps forward then (just come right back)
I'm ok with being the weird one
I'd rather that than appear dumb

Back in my Willingboro Days
Before I had a name/Me Jimmy Kamil we had the same last name
They would play these gigs and let me sit backstage
Thats around the time my whole perception had changed
Cause I was supposed to be a journalist
But I ain't really like writing articles about the crap the media's concerned with
Plus my cousin would rap & he was tight
In a celtics throwback girbaud jeans white Nikes
Plus that nigga could fight so you could see what he writes
So when I grabbed the Mike
Im killin everyone in sight
And I ain't never held a gun in my life
But yea I seen em
This back around the time when I first met Nakia & think I was datin Zina
Popular girls didn't know I exist
But they will when I get a chance to spit
Mike told me I should rap at our graduation party
And that's when it all got started
Good Lord the long days raised us
Never thought about the short term changes
Papa never saw the meaning in the phases
You'll know when you need to move
Thank God for the Circles & The Spaces
Draw a few blanks to play a few aces
Mama always tried to teach a little patience
It's a lighter shade of blue
It was early 05/when I signed to get it right
And I'm kicking out those daily raps
February March and Aprils back
Tryna blow bigger than Aprils ass
If you went to Willingboro you know the reference
Writing more raps and I hope I don't forget em
Zina said she needed space I really didn't get it
She'd wanna stick around if she knew where I was headed
But she ain't know the talent I was blessed with neither did I
In due time Imma get up off this futon
So I'm on as many mixtapes as possible
Deejay Supa gave me a shot
I met Jibreel when I was doing a drop
We had the whole south Jerez on lock
Unity hustlers sold the CDs and we split all the profits
From there we started doing shows at Roanoke college
Nobody came but it gave me more polish and now I'm lookin back like
Good Lord the long days raised us
Never thought about the short term changes
Papa never saw the meaning in the phases
You'll know when you need to move
Thank God for the Circles & The Spaces
Draw a few blanks to play a few aces
Mama always tried to teach a little patience
It's a lighter shade of blue
And I'm running around in circles losing my mind losing my mind losing my mind
Certain friends disintegrate over time
It cuts deep when you not even sure why
So I gotta decide
Let it ride like the cop in set it off
When he saw Jada Pinkett sitting on the bus pulling off
Guess I gotta go solo I'm not sure I can pull it off
I ain't quitting, I'll fight till the official pull me off

Walked Out
04:49

Ayo I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I shall fear no man or mumble under my breath I speak it out
Dont look for no trouble or seek it out
Im just working, bleeding & sweatin and weep it out
At this dead end job I know I should've finished college but
All my friends that did have wasted all there scholar-ships
Yea...So if I'm left with that good example
Id rather roll the dice & take a gamble
I know that everybody in here is an aspiring something
But I'm the only one Thats really gonna turn into something
uh huh uh huh yea I hear you & all that
Now pick up all those boxes then go & take em out back
Then he laughed its cool he been a manager for 8 years
Driving a Kia wearing cheap way fares
And I ain't tryna stay here
Don't ask me what I make here
I really wanna scream in the pool room singing off key like
Before you do that cause I already made that mistake
And its tough when it all blows up in ya face
I ain't spoke to my Ma in 30 days
She's good at disappearing when she really got nothing to say
I text an old friend last night
.......And I don't really know why
I guess I figured if I hang around long enough she can see we were meant to be the whole time
But she's right that she can't handle the road & the fact that I'll be on it
And somehow it's bad that Im blatantly honest
I lose interest in empty conversations bout Pinterest
The only thing you taught me wait.... I won't leak ya business
I realize now this is a weird transition
And I'm ahead of most in my age district
Another day Another move made to alienate
She said I'm selfish & I text her back the alien face
