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

Don't Blink 03:11
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

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
