Ooooo what's a good to a goblin?
Who really cares nobody
We murder then we wait for the sirens
So don't get outta line
It's a secret society all we ask is trust
When it comes to privacy they aint giving us much
We found a crack that breaks all of this up
Insert you over the next couple months
You've all been hand picked
Under your seat is a key and an all black pair of Stan Smith's
Jennifer is handing out pamphlets
This will answer all your and's if's where's and when's
Sir in the back that brand name is forbidden
I'll only ask you once not to wear it again
We're here to break habits and all barriers down
Rather than me being at the top of the cloud
We'll be working side by side through ups and downs
Imagine a pyramid flipped upside down
Imagine the first verse from run this town
I suggest you all right this down
Everything's in house like one trip from the SUV
We're designed to supplement whatever we need
Get acquainted with the people inside these four walls
For 90 days there's no tweets or phone calls
Or sharing for likes involving our likeness
From the pillow cases fabric to the automatic light switch
Applause around that's all for now
There's refreshments in the hall I dismiss you all
Ooooo what's a good to a goblin?
Who really cares nobody
We murder then we wait for the sirens
So don't get outta line
Building an empire that's stronger than cast iron
Let that boy cook or I blast iron
On in five reporting live from the spot
That the judge was told where the sheriff wasn't shot
The flows on dialysis
Jennifer brings me an analysis and it says productions up
Call Mr. Eason and tell him that his dinner's on me and then leave me be
You can leave the beats on the mantle, I'll have em all handled
My main focus is to lead by example
So my team can see I'm there for em
Excuses are orphans nobody cares for em
So when I'm on the air like blinds on your AC unit
There's no teleprompter cueing
I'll write it and we'll do it live like Bill Oreil
Just have my bread ready first like Golden Corral
Then I feed the public with a daily dose
Of top stories with a twist cause it's realer than most
I can't save you but I can connect you
To a way of thinking that might protect
Might progress you or piss you off
But it's outta my hands right after I sign off
If you don't understand it, it don't mean that I'm right
It's just means we're alike
Thumbs up nigga
Ooooo what's a good to a goblin?
Who really cares nobody
We murder then we wait for the sirens
So don't get outta line

Been on the road since 15
Tryna find my way to the big screen
Follow the face on the big screen
Cold Stares
White teeth
Don’t mind me
I’m just praying to God that we can see the God in us
With that came more war and more antennas
I hope one day we discover its more in us
Before the planet tries to end us
Someone send us a piece of mind
I hope we all get the moment to shine
And in that moment I hope find
That the light we seek is divine
We’re all chasing stars (4x)
Open your eyes so you can see a star baby
Open your eyes so you can see the stars (4x)
Told me that I’m on in 15
Take another shot of the whiskey
Follow the face on the big screen
If you are, what you say you are
Then you better wear your shades
The audience here can burn holes with a gaze
A PR nightmare is one call away like Chingy and them
Play nice or you’ll never get booked again
It’s a million other folks dream just like you
The business is selling them, not bout em coming true
Damn the message inside is priceless
You can run for your life or run for the mic cause
We’re all chasing stars (4x)
Open your eyes so you can see a star baby
Open your eyes so you can see the stars (4x)
We’re all chasing stars (4x) - Thomas Young
Open your eyes so you can see a star baby
Open your eyes so you can see the stars (4x)
We’re all chasing stars

Chance

I been standing in this mirror for bout 20 mins straight
Inspecting a few wrinkles in my face
I woke up early for work, now I'm just expecting to be late
Prolly some sort of bullshit inspection today
I'm bored with this job, not ready to accept it today
Now I'm tryna think positive today will be great
I haven't seen the evidence to back up on this sentiment
Feeling like God isn't listening or whoever you pray to
None of the famous folks I can relate to
They tell me that they made it but not bout how to get through
The everyday grind of wondering why you try
Thinking I'm losing my mind my mama said I'll be fine
I wanna see her good so I look at the time
Grab my socks and put my boots on one at a time
If my boss starts trippin cause I came in late again
I'mma let em talk and put my headphones in
Its alright
Its ok
I'mma get my shit together today
Its alright
Its ok
I'mma get my shit together today
Who said we gotta be in love
I know we might not be right where we wanna be
I might not be right where I wanted
I could be dead or in jail or with warrants
Up on this side of the city they rarely just hit us with warnings
Put us behind a good Hip-Hop performance
That's bars
My homie went to court for assault and battery
That's charged
He wont be home till March
They never gave us a plan that's why we made one up
That's why the homies get off work and gotta blaze one up
These girls poppin pills to acknowledge the fact
Them followers wont help you pay them student loans back its all good baby
We all running through the maze
I'll see you at the bar on Thursdays
For those couple hours lets just live like we figured it out
Until the day we all figure it out No Summer Sanders
Its alright
Its ok
I'mma get my shit together today
Its alright
Its ok
I'mma get my shit together today
Who said we gotta be in love
I know we might not be right where we wanna be
Today, nobody cares
And tomorrow, they still wont

Bounce Back like Rubber
02:02
|

Years in this game you should know what it is
Bout to take the city higher than the Goodyear blimp
Long live Bun B RIP to the Pimp
Independent legends on any spectrum
I guess I was destined to go and pave my own route
While you broke in the city talkin about who sold out
Hear you say you hungry standing with a closed mouth
Reppin all these brands for free and they wont give you a towel
To wipe ya brow
While drowning in ya thirst level
Every verse I drop a bezel
Encrusted jewel to help you reach the next level
Whatever and wherever that is
We was down for a M I N but every time we just bounce
Bounce, Bounce
Bounce, Bounce, Bounce back like rubber we just bounce
Bounce
Bounce, Bounce, Bounce back like rubber we just bounce
Bounce
Bounce, Bounce, Bounce back like rubber we just bounce
Bounce, Bounce
Bounce, Bounce, Bounce back like rubber we just bounce
Northeast Ohio with the flex with the flex
Winter time hope you make it till the next
When you rep ya city say it with ya chest
Don't let em say ya name if they aint talkin respect

Come in grab you a seat lend me ya ear
Imma put you on game like a created player
Some folks got all the degrees you can find
But can't pinpoint the tension in the air
They teach us how to scratch & survive for the Good times of tomorrow
Cant afford the luxuries then you can borrow
Worried of selling out for some bullshit morals
Give the game for free & then you rest on ya laurels
Laura ain't tryna bring home another loser
LinkedIn profile just say entrepreneur
The double standard getting real fun when it comes
To these broke ass women that we can never call bums
Its all about the bucks the rest is conversation
Why you in the club & got the nerve to be hating on a nigga dress code when ya pockets on patience
Somebody in the room gotta say it cmonnnnn man
Ain't nobody tryna hear that weak shit
So you can keep yo broke ass at the crib
Cause we all fed up
It's all a setup
Always wanna turn up
Until the bill turn up
Now you got the hiccups
From drinks we bought
Meanwhile Ya whole IG story been talking bout we ball
Folks dress for the runway but don't gotta driveway
Hyped up by songs that you hearing on these airwaves
I was in the A when I finally
Learned most these hotel pics is all coming from the lobby
She want that Loubiton that Loubiton
That Off White that Givenchy
Why you so parched let me get you a Dasani
Had hella women around waiting for a label to sign me
My fellow man ain't no better either
Why you worried how we move you should prolly roll some better reefer
We do everything y'all talk about
Make sure you got some bread on you when you out the house
It's all about the bucks now
Money make the world go round and round and round
It's all about the bucks now
Money make the world go round and round and round
Who will survive
Who will survive in America?

Hol Up
Wait a Minute
I pull up like I had my pants sagging
Trailer hitch drag a band wagon
Last year you were chin wagging
This year it's all hand clapping
That's cool just
Make sure you pay your tithes cause
You're in the presence of a God
Ooohh I remember you was taking shots
But I bet I couldn't pick you outta lineup
All of you look alike
She gave me the thumbs up
I could publish a book of likes
With all of your problems
All of your comments
And all of the gossip
But none of it puts money back in the pockets of people who need it
N***** aint real they reaching
This is that hoodie and Timberland season
Hol Up
Wait a minute
They may never understand this
I might have to underhand this
One day you'll get that we all broke
When you see what a grand is
Yea I still want a Grammy
So don't ask where the band is
Took the players we was handed
Became the back to back champions
I do not need your opinion
Save it for the internet
My prime is my bartender
I still haven't hit it yet
I'm always gon be a threat
I take comfort in knowing that
I'mma be tight in the end
I'm Witten and Novacheck
Hol Up
Wait a minute

Paranoid Citizens
02:45
|
|||
We all turning into paranoid citizens
I hope that my black mirror aint listening
We might never see the top of the pyramid
So that trickle down shit we aint hearin it
Tryna find our way through the maze
The whole damn city on a grid
Tried to told em they should listen to the kids
They lookin down on us in the pit like
You don't count (4x)
Everybody's watching all the time
Feel like I'm about to lose my mind
Everybody's watching all the time
Everyone, everyone
Ring the alarm
We been. .. undetected on the journey too long
We been on this gurney too long to not prosper
Staring at the Skylar Grey I need a doctor
Make every city my home I vinyasa
Correct my posture
We gon stand up to the obsta
Insta tryna paint a picture
Tryna blow up before the Marta show up
It's all staged
Organic the fridge it's all caged
Ya eggs in the basket they tampered with
It's 1000 ways you can forge yourself in
Adopt the lingo conceal ya info
Protect ya income
It's funny that we stuck on a grid but we still outside the system
You thought that little money was gon get you out
They met you at the gates of the private sector like...
You don't count (4x)
Everybody's watching all the time
Feel like I'm about to lose my mind
Everybody's watching all the time
Everyone, everyone

Save My Soul

I cannot run from I come from it
I cannot run from I come from it
Whos gonna save my soul now
Whos gonna save my soul now
Down, down down
Whos gonna save my soul now
I cannot run from I come from it
I cannot run from I come from it
Whos gonna save my soul now
Whos gonna save my soul now
Searchin for answers inside of a bottle
My self esteem is hollow
I cant trust nobody else
If I can't trust myself
I cannot run from I come from it
I cannot run from I come from it
Whos gonna save my soul now
Whos gonna save my soul now

Wonder feat The Dreemers
04:34

We all sing
We all dream
We all wonder
Have you ever wondered if you'll reach ya full potential
Tell me what you dreamt about when you was back in middle
Schoool
I know it feels like the days moving faster
Grandma used to say as you get older it'll past ya
....We so caught up tryna make a second last
Chasing down the color of the grass
Until somebody pass
You thinking when you spoke to em last
All the things you could've said all the moments you laughed
Standing under the clouds contemplating on our purpose
Everybody happy at the surface
The real story happens when it's time to close the curtain
You never know who hurting
You never know who need a couple words of encouragement
Everybody asking you for nourishment
Isn't tryna sabotage you flourishing
Take a moment
You'll never know if you get blessed to have another one
We all sing
We all dream
We all wonder

Swan Song
03:01
|
|||
I been sitting on this beat for like half a year
Index finger twisting round in my curly hair
I wanted something that would feel like a eulogy
A swan song a funeral for who I used to be
I didn't turn into the person that I thought I would
I'm better off because of it didn't follow the buzzards
I just prayed for something & now I'm seeing the benefit
We all love a good story I'm just tryna see the end of it
In grade school we were taught to face forward so I don't look back for folks that fronted on me
Escape the hawks I'm Al Horford I changed numbers
Yea pops ya song aint been living the same summers
Doing more for self & I'm less world
East coast nigga living in west world
Write my own narrative
Built my own character that's based off a true story
Loose glory and hardships
Somehow being present for all of it
And who we were
Seemed so long ago
These are confessions of a workaholic
I work to drink I drink to not think
My mind moves a mile a minute
My drive was never dependent on your car tips
Life's soundtrack on shuffle watch for card tricks
My poker face is impeccable
I look in the mirror and I believe it
The heart and the mind finally agreeing
This is happiness
I hope we all find the moment when we capture it
And who we were
Seemed so long ago
