Lord forgive him if he let them dark forces in em I'm feeling like They forced division Folks that I thought I knew kept they thoughts so hidden That when they surface I'm too tired to argue with em Uh, a fake smile is all you getting Cause I know this can't be solved in my homeboy kitchen I wish I could explain but you just don't get it And you shouldn't ya struggle is different I ain't saying that ya life doesn't have the same value as mine Or that I'd rather see ya skin color die We all put our draws and jeans on one leg at a time But it's two different worlds when we step outside It feels like all the problems of the country getting fixed But the waitress still think my black ass won't tip My cousin ask me how I see it all and not trip I can't cause I gotta be strong for him I wish I could tell you all the things that's on my mind Not this time Just when I think I've had enough I realize I'll be fine

No Time 02:54
I woke up hungover as fuck to my alarm Tryna hit snooze the phones under my arm My arms stuck under the torso of a blonde Who I vaguely remember but she should've been gone But instead she's laying here with nothing on I'm always bad at tryna get these women outta my home And the woman that I want I can't get outta my dome All this shit I swear is here to take me outta my zone But I'm focused The blonde yawns then moves closer I kiss her on the forehead and roll over Walk to the bathroom random Kats on the sofa Cigarette smoke and cheap beer is the aroma Shorties tryna find one of her socks And doesn't understand why I'm up its only 7 o clock Laugh and smack her ass as I'm walkin her out She said call me when you're free and I told her I doubt it cause I ain't got No time for dreaming Gotta get on up and do my thing I gotta get it now You spend time telling yaself what I can do You spend time telling yaself what not to do It's all good it's no knock to you It's just part of the reason that they'll prolly never knock for you Or check for you That's all about our aspirations We've turned into an aspirin nation It's making all the songs so slow but I think that's hating So Everybody in line to convulse in place I'm from NJ, I gotta faster pace My heads in the clouds 8 Times a day Woke up feeling better than the top 8 Back when Shaq rapped and asked Kobe how his ass would taste Greece outta money and we on our way So we gotta make it in for they seal our fate I ain't sleeping at all Took the clocks off the wall cause it's no time, no time no time Uh No time for dreaming Gotta get on up and do my thing I gotta get it now

Relevant 02:24
From city to city state to state We go from the hotel room straight to the stage Then back to the hotel then back to the stage I came a long way from sneaking in those razor blades Get in the club hope my record get played Then maybe all these sorties might throw me some play But they ain't fucking wit a local dude anyway Unless he had a Ac and a new pair of J's Fast forward to today and some things Don changed She gotta kid at the crib and it's one on the way And homie still in the club spending all his rent money Ironically to a song that's telling you get money And I'm watching all this and I'm nodding along Cause nobody seems to notice that they playing my song I could brag about the last 6 month's and how well I did Can't tell if I'm the shit or if I'm just here Rapping for the hell of it But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant Who you tryna be n**** What I say is exactly what I see n**** I don't understand why yall mad at me I'm just Rapping for the hell of it But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant I'm who you tryna be n**** Yall rapping about models I get hounded by em Not a killer at all I'm just surrounded by em What we talkin bout real shit or we talking bout rhymes I actually do what y'all be talking about I learned from the punk rock kids but gotta rap-star glow That's Jay Reatard mixed with Biggie and Hov I've got a million flows cause I write so much And these shows getting bigger so the price go up And they still looking like they don't believe the kid Tryna get credit but they won't lease me shit You throw a party every week and the shit wack We threw a party during lunch and got 10 stacks You Kats don't get understand what it means To live under ya means To get close to ya dreams You wanna be the guy with all the latest shit We on the phone with the people that make the shit And nah I ain't saying that I made it yet I'm saying get ya bars up and place ya bets cause I'm just Rapping for the hell of it But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant Who you tryna be n**** What I say is exactly what I see n**** I don't understand why yall mad at me I'm just Rapping for the hell of it But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant I'm who you tryna be n**** Yall rapping about models I get hounded by em Not a killer at all I'm just surrounded by em

The Numbers 02:27
It goes 1 for the money 2 for the shows 3 for the girls 4 for the hoes If you don't the difference then we know which one you chose You asking what I pick my n**** I've had both It was 5 for the 6 7 for the diamonds See me counting up so I put the 8 & 9 in You got 10 seconds to put your phone down Nah really, put ya phone down No pictures please I'm so serious Play this on Shade 45 and Sirius Or whatever you're steering in Grabbing local rappers and instilling some fear in em I've got more balls then the dude that took a Selfie on the pyramids Older fans looking like they can't believe that they hearing this My flows still uplifting To the nerds and rich kids with their pride in a lift kit The whole world wants to be this shade But they hide when it's really time to be that brave So I wanna be the reason when you see that face That ya attitude ora and ya mindset change They say money brings out who you really are What if I been an asshole from the start? What if I never paid attention back in Kindergarten? I wouldn't be able add up the shit I'm starting How will I be remembered when I die? Hopefully as one of the illest m*****f****** alive Lately I been eating you motherfuckers alive Just to let you know I ain't playing around Y'all spend alotta time talking and laying around I spend time booking shows and writing these rhymes Pissing folks off and hearing I'm whine About shit that don't matter and I'm sick of it now You think I'm angry but really I've calmed down It's been a big!change since I got to the south You know the story Thought I was dope ans went for it Now if I could just get my ass out to Europe Find a pretty girl with a British accent Share an umbrella when it rains in London And since I'm from the state's she gon ask how it is I'll tell her Idk but I try to keep it simple like It goes 1 for the money 2 for the shows 3 for the girls 4 for the hoes If you don't the difference then we know which one you chose You asking what I pick my n**** I've had both It was 5 for the 6 7 for the diamonds See me counting up so I put the 8 & 9 in You got 10 seconds to put your phone down Nah really, put ya phone down

Drift 03:54
Never back down if I said it then I meant it Here to make sure that the town is represented well We live on through the stories we tell So when I spin a yarn I hope it suits you well I learned from old heads that put weight on scales Get locked and they end up in a 12 by 12 Come home & he looking for a pack to sell Cause his daughter need food and his Ma ain't well Hit his girl on the hip but she ain't there No love from the streets cause they don't care So what you do when you feel like you ain't got no other options Got em a nine and started robbin Tried the wrong one Got popped and he lost his life It's another dead body on the news tonight There's another rose placed on a young man's grave As we kneel to our knees to pray there's gotta be another Feel like the whole hoods just (drifting away) Insanity is doing the same things over and over And expecting the problems to blow over Loved ones giving you the cold shoulder Worn out ya welcome enough the cleaners know ya Working so hard to sustain yaself But everybody needs a little bit of help There's a thin line between haphazard and a moral hazard Saying that'll you'll change and it hasn't happened They still remember back when you wasn't happy Searchin for an exit in a little packet You hurtin all the folks that really got ya back It's sad but they truly ain't forgiving you for it Thats no way to help a broken heart move forward But at some point you gotta take charge Let ya eyes adjust when you step into the dark It's never too late to start you gotta find your own It's like time keeps (drifting away) Losing myself but getting things that I've dreamed of It's getting harder to remember who I was Every day I think about my cousin I feel like I watched and did nothing Mainly in this so that I can help my mother What if I do and she falls back under I should call her up and tell I love her I keep putting it off cause I'm sure she'll tell me something that ain't positive The tone of her voice makes it obvious I'm just tryna make enough bread to get her outta this Ran into my cousin's ex and told her fuck outta here I don't like riding through the neighborhood he'd Polly in I don't like coming home at all to be honest Too many ghost and broken promises Regardless of where we all stand today We're not where we been its a blessing that we came a long

Open-Ended 02:33
Something's gotta give Or maybe I just gotta get a grip I'm working this hard to change conditions where I live They cutting my hours at every single job I get The news channel saying that my people ain't shit When I open my mouth I know some people might forget I came up in the same neighborhoods that you fear So when you tried to tell me that I'm not like them On the contraire sir I'm just like them I been at the crib doing some soul searching Stick around some real feelings might surface Ya old policies ain't workin They scared of change like it don't spend the same Uh been stuck in they ways regardless of the traffic So when They drive through the lane you see they couldn't hack it You want the best of both worlds and when you seem ready I'm reminded of what happened to Hov and R Kelly And now they want social commentary outta Floco That shows that you ain't listening much as far as I go I guess you tired of hearing about murcielago's Wine you never heard of Women chilling in condos Maybe you just need somebody giving a fuck But sometimes I think no matter what it's never enough The stakes are rare and times are tough There's beers on ice so pull a chair up And lets talk about how to pull the world by its ear Like... discipline of recent years My Ma used to correct me anytime when I spoke to her I'd never feel inadequate when I wasn't close to her She said ya generation's faulty on the loyalty Don't let em tell you that you didn't come from royalty So when you call me a nigger I know I ain't one It's not my fault that you ashamed of where you came from I see the game and I got love for it/dealt shitty cards decided to pluck for it They taking shots at me I dive and duck from em They taking shots with me but nah I don't want em I see the purpose in your back handed gesture It just shows me that you needed me attention So now you got tell me what you gon do with it

What does it mean to be free Been hanging on for our chance to see Since hanging on a thick branch from trees To carrying on what was given to me I trust funds will gimme a better view My will is all I've got to get me through Born in this world 0-2 My sex and my hue You...gotta excuse But lately I've been feeling like me more than ever So when I enter rooms I'm starting to feel the pressure Keep a permanent smile on my face But seeing the obvious it never goes away I don't wanna end up slain before we get change But the outcome is not up to me So when a loved one comes up to me With tears and their eyes and can barely speak I tell em that before God gives us wings that... Take it from me Some day we'll all be free Just wait and see Some day we'll all be free What does it mean to be free Been here praying for our chance to see The rooms empty and I'm on my knees I couldn't find anybody to pray with me I trust love will bring us a better truth Better for me and better for you Born in this world confused Why does it matter who I choose Lately I noticed certain stares when we're out together Opinions of strangers got me feeling pressure Try to keep a smile on my face But seeing the obvious it never goes away I don't wanna have to hide my feelings Or lie to my family when I come home for Christmas So when my a loved one comes up to me And doesn't feel like they can truly be I tell em that before God gives is wings Take it from me Some day we'll all be free Just wait and see Some day we'll all be free
