Keep ya head To the sky You gotta hold onto to what you believe in Cant wait for things to go my way Gotta go I might not know my way I wish I could stay I wish I had more to say Keep ya head To the sky You gotta hold onto to what you believe in Cant wait for things to go my way Gotta go I might not know my way Cant wait for you to see my pain Keep ya head To the sky You gotta hold onto to what you believe in

You! 04:22
Fell in love during the summer Mom's a lover Pop's a hustler So no wonder I'mma lover and a writer I was a bright eyed kid with no prior Record or records to push Around the time nobody wanted to have a regular look We all wanted to be from outer space Maybe subconsciously we all knew the planet's almost done anyway I'm just tryna dodge my thoughts of cemeteries I only said I'd stay down here till February Some of the best situations seem temporary It turned out great, they think I'mma visionary I'm really just the man with the balls to care A big heart and some curled up hair Baby it's a big world out there I wanna see it all then maybe I'll come back to you Always been hungry for success But we live in a greedy society so sometimes you gotta look past your belly and find yourself You might be a dick and don't know it Sometimes I cared but can't show it I thought we agreed on where it was all going You started making lofty promises on how we would live I went along with it to save face And made you an anthem to play We still reminisce about it to this day But it wasn't enough It's like the only way to be happy with you is wait around for you to catch up And that ain't love That's staying together for cheap rent Stuck on the old days that came and went Life has a way of showing you who's who So no matter where I go it always comes back to you I put my life on the line so we could all get some You put ya life online so you can play the victim Funny that the artist who originally made this Said don't become a bass in a city full of bait fish You encouraged me to take chances And now that I'm taking another one you seem antsy Not to mention for the work I do All the kats that tried to play me I feel are I know that I'm different I know I might of had a little too much whiskey I thought that I was making a difference and maybe I was Maybe this a break and it's not a full break up I just wanna feel like the time we spent was never wasted They want me to bad mouth I still never say shit We're both better because we met I hope all these memories you never forget

I'm tired of every last one of yall Tell ya mans too he don't want it dog FLOCO It's the OG that aint old enough But still became a shoulder for your low self esteem Claiming he hot but couldn't even set a steam to some straight leg jeans I'mma jogger running laps round ya whole team I aint sleeping I'm taking naps with sweet dreams I know they prolly miss a lot of my work So I snap on every verse when they do catch up They hit you with the (hey big head) Sometimes you gotta stand for something I'm Charles Hamilton, Biggie, Hov and Cudi I'm tryna stay alive in the land where the black man dies Too many bullets Too many crimes Too many opinions too many times I'm Nate Robinson I played the bigger man too many times I'm tired of every last one of yall Tell ya mans too he don't want it dog It's the most fed up but still hungry I'mma hip-Hop junkie Take the needle off the record And put the beat in veins All that hating that you doing never going in vein This is Busta Rhymes wearing al of his chains In the Touch It video when he came back swole I left my hometown and I came back dope You ran away with ya boyfriend and came back broke So Sorry Me and Shawty Slim Bad Boys but we're both Mike Lawry The beat is hard the verse is crack Where's the band the earth is flat Play it forward or reverse it back Get ya swag back daddy where ya focus at? GOODIE SUPREME The rap game is like the seat reserved for Nicholson at the Staples Center cause all I see in the bitch is a bunch Jack ass Ya team trash ya bench weak Starters suck so pardon us having more fans in your gym applauding us Call my bluff and I flush you straight in the chin with hooks Under pressure I do whatever the winning took My pen and book I use to scribble notes and scout you out Is full of empty pages I won't waste the ink to white you out They wipe their mouth with the hand that they bit to feed em Either they don't know the difference or gave a fuck that they need em That's why I came to beat until submission they tapping out I aint letting loose till something breaks or snapping out I'm spazzing out on everything I put my name on Whole fuckin crew can get they brains blown BILLIE SLUM I'm over qualified but underrated I make these rap n***** apologize and say I'm the greatest Keep ya titles I'm homicidal and none to play with My gun is blazing at any moving target no matter who the artist When I arrive that's when ya judgement day is All hail the grim reaper And this is execution by speaker Grab ya cross and hum ya prayers And hope that God hear ya My only aim is to kill ya slow like hard liquor And when the beat ILL it only make the bars sicker Dirty needle to ya veins till ya heart skip a Beat adrenaline increase till it cease You can take me out the jungle no matter I'm still the beast And the flow is esco with a touch of Killa Priest So consider this ya eulogy the day this shit released Bow ya heads

Nobody Knows 03:35
Before I had hope, before I even believed That I could change the world with a lyric and a beat I was beat down I was broken Lost my train of thought no tokens, no focus Losing touch like my calibrations off If I don't make a change they gon write me off I gotta leave the city so the world hear me The universe keeping score Everytime I see a Porsche it tells me to stay the course I'm like I see the plan now The little engine that could knows he can now The only handouts I got was from professors Aced every one and still learned life lessons Now you wanna message talking bout get togethers I aint got time destiny is on the other line Its a race not a marathon You wasn't with me walking to the marathon buying chips to survive That's the part that Nobody Knows The pain, the struggle, the love the karma You're not alone this right here's for all us I know you're feeling like Nobody Knows Get up (3x) Lets go You wanna judge me and I aint Uncle feelin (Phil-lin) it I'm beyond tired of all yall not feeling him Family becoming blank spaces I'm not filling them in I acquire then defeat obstacle you look up and I did it again It's like when Jay said 1% of a billion more than n***** ever seen Still they wanna act like it's an everyday thing When its parts of they own neighborhood they aint seen I'm like I see a pattern I aint been playing with em since I had a Sega Saturn Career on growth spurt, new heights Dodging the blue lights inspiring new guys you can DIY and keep all the profit Give you more leverage for the day they come knocking And all the kats popping right now is just the new version of the last kat to fall down I look around like where's so and so they like Nobody Knows The pain, the struggle, the love the karma You're not alone this right here's for all us I know you're feeling like Nobody Knows Get up (3x) Lets go It's all about the shots you take in an empty gym And how you handle the press if you aint get the win We been under the radar for so long I start questioning my mental state And all the time we waste and all the shows with no pay Friends that won't stay and roads that aint paved Jobs that wont say why they ask for your race when you working in the back from 10-8 And I'm like It's systematic We been treated lesser before we could add So when we come up on cash we blow a stack for the culture Easy if I tell ya but its better if I show ya Day by day we get closer Either to death or the moment we waited for Or both So who you wanna be The one that they pulling on TV for Or the one that they put in the paper on page 4 that Nobody Knows The pain, the struggle, the love the karma You're not alone this right here's for all us I know you're feeling like Nobody Knows Get up (3x) Lets go

I pray to God that we all safe Switching sounds like a crossfade Same clothes for a couple of days I dont mean fashion when I say I need the Balmain if you aint gon take a shot We wanted to be like the kids wit silver spoons Until we looked down and saw that we had em too Never let the money put you under water like the snapchat filter Flint needed clean water and they brought filters/I don't feel the Sense of urgency in this world they just let it build up/Let it build up Lets try this again I just keep looking up I dont see the foul/It Just me in here I dont see a crowd I'm kyrie on my BoB everything lookin flat round here My circle of friends is thinning out My Dad still pushing college on me And My Ma bout to get her tumors out Hoping we aint pulling tulips out Chasing dreams look In foolish now But it's not as bad as the feeling of clock in in For a dude driving a Benz with stock wheels and factory speakers He dress like 25 but really is 40 And it took em a decade to feel like he 35 Which means that he wasted 5 years somewhere and I don't wanna be that Its a lot of shows that I'm sure are good but I dont wanna see that I'm at the age of being comfortable but my to-do list says otherwise If they retort..Tell em this glow up will be televised

I'm feeling over dressed I probably should've went with a vest Or with something less Ryan Seacrest Casual but it shows success If they ask bout my last job and why I left I'mma say there were no more opportunities for me to progress I know I'm early I wanna show that I'm punctual You're late if you're on time I learned that from the dude in drumline I walk in through the double doors the secretaries got a line Do I wait to speak to her or find the floor from one of these signs I don't wanna come off like I'm too confident It's odd but as black man in America you gotta watch that shit I take my second option Find the floor and press the arrow up I breath deep and tip shoulders up Sitting in this elevator I'm on my way up (2x) Sitting in this elevator I'm on my way up (2x) We so high (repeat) I'm feeling under dressed Probably should've went with a dress Or with a shirt that shows a little chest Men with positions like to feel like it's something they can get My last job was full of that I'm looking for opportunities and to be treated like I'm an asset Not an ass for pigs to look at I'm a little early but on my way up I check my makeup I see the signs for the elevator I walk over and hit the arrow up I breathe deep and tip my shoulders up Sitting in this elevator I'm on my way up (2x) Sitting in this elevator I'm on my way up (2x) We so high (repeat) I'm feeling like al of that went well We gotta lot of good candidates They're all qualified and the pressure it seems they can handle it It's odd that these I interviews I was the one chosen to handle em Especially since I just asked for a raise I gotta baby on the way my Quarterly numbers are great When you put it that way it kinda feels like they're tryna phase me out I need some air I walk outta my office over to the elevator and press the arrow down The door opens and my boss walks out Sitting in this elevator I'm going down down down

Thoughts 02:05
Who would've thought it was a way for my thoughts to get me paid And years later I paved my own paradise into a parking lot And threw a festival from noon to seven o clock I booked all my foes on the schedule to just watch I thought that when my friends got signed that I was next And the negative nancies around said not to hold my breath I kept taking steps until the upstairs was gone Some folks fell back on the couch in the same home They asking me how not to keep making the same song And none of my fans know these convos are going on I'm telling myself stay strong in due time Just light they asses up like cigarettes on fire Lyrically I'm mirroring Royce Da 5'9 Yall funny like Jaqueline Joyce was on at 9 Those aint bars those are comedy clubs Know the difference It's a marathon not a race homie Know the distance You out here running ya mouth like you killing for bread But it's 2 types of n***** and that's guns and butter You either got stocks and bonds or drops and nine's The latter will disappear when that card declines And ya fam pays the debt when you in memory of We're all one trade away from humility Bud Fix ya face when you address me Here's a screwdriver and a stamp get to steppin No Martin Lawrence If your plans not to become a part of ours I suggest you have you and your homies go start the car and yall Hit the bricks like Bruce Leroy It's me and my fam there's no Lyor or LA Reid to lean on In turn (Intern) it looks like I'm working for free I book my own shows and I make my own coffee

Keep ya head To the sky You gotta hold onto to what you believe in You don't know what it took for me to make it here All the lonely days and constant fears All the arguments and the constant fights With myself wondering if what I'm doing is right Keep ya head To the sky You gotta hold onto to what you believe in Now my skies are bright no more clouds are gray I'm better now cause I don't care what they say Life's a game better know how to play Cause if ya don't you'll never see a better day Keep ya head To the sky You gotta hold onto to what you believe in
