A year later the title stands in question
On the sideline patiently awaiting severance from the underground
Feel like it's time to be heard
I mean what more I gotta do to show these folks I deserve
Won't list the accolades
Go play how longs first verse
And feel the emphasis on every word
And every verse that follows is intended to make the people feel empowered
And have rappers running for safety like Troy Paulomolo
Speaking of rap, I'm no longer mad at comparisons
It's usually to a rapper with a fro and some sense
In this neighborhood we never were expected to have
Act off instinct they tell the world look at the stats
But he can't cause it ain't enough books in his class
No offense but we never had a choice to be black
It's who we are
I only exist inside these bars
That's why I sit alone when I'm out a bar
They take it too far but cool Imma let that slide
Yea I got ya lil joke Imma let that ride
Back handed compliments on how I'm getting my paper
Or how I'm only hot cause Slim did me a favor
I known him 5 years never asked for a spin
If you wanna know another man's opinion ask him
Lemme work, correction, let us work
Dream Board cds and shirts come Holla at me

You're now tuned into the most consistent
My mirrors where I have to do the most convincing
Cause I don't see myself being down for too long
But my life's been like market charts for Dow Jones
And I ain't peaked yet like you snuck and seen your presents
Noticed a couple folks ain't appreciate my presence
I faked a pulled hamstring since they think they ready
And watch em fall apart in the midst of game 7
I never been the type to step on you to gain leverage
Never been an Indian giver after a severance
The truth is you prolly won't accept it
But if I did it wouldn't be to you cause you ain't sold enough records
Or done enough shows You ain't an asset fam
Keep it real you just a worker and ya homegirl a fan
And with every verse I write I'm getting colder
And yet these rappers still think they cooler than me...Mike Posner
The flows an overcooked pork shoulder
Here munch on this chip while I get shit off my chest
I'd rather be the man at one period in time
Then constantly getting told she's on her period now
I ain't the one to fuck with you hearing it now
Ya voice got some fear in it now
I don't claim years I'm only focused on the here and the now

Excuse me yes ma'am I think we might have a problem
I don't think it's funny when you laugh and call my Flocka
Or call me Asap Rocky it's no diss to Rock & Waka
But I make my own impact plus I been rocking 2008
Oh it feels so good to not be lying in my resume
But they ain't giving shots out like the bartender is pissed today
I'm gon rush an office like the rappers back in 98
G told me to chill cause those Russians in them suits don't play
Floco where you been, You ain't texting back bruh
I been drinking Gin I don't know how to act bruh
I'm about to go to every bar where they all know me
Start a tab pay in cash and then ask some girl to come blow me
That's an asshole moment/It happens to the best of us
Still got ppl asking me Why you still not famous bruh
I ain't kissing anus bruh
Or I don't show my face enough
Ponder if that's true or I just made an excuse

Floco why you acting like ya pop?
Why you always gotta bring my dad into it
I told you I was headed to the top
She like...you can do it put ya back into it
The chorus catchy and the verse is sharp
Popsicle
That's a missed tackle if that line didn't hit you
Be thankful that that nine didn't hit you
Dog's catching strays we need a rescue..mission
I'm set trippin my live show is the focus
The rent due they just sent me another notice
My schedule full but my wallet doesn't know it
And they stopped us at the door cause the girl doesn't know us
And I'm pissed
My names on the marquee yo
She like yea but it don't match ya ID tho
Now I'm standing in the front signing autographs tryna call my manager to get inside my own fucking show
Damn, this is the side that the folks don't know
The side that Vh1 and MTV can't show/ I don't complain tho I just don't watch it
You can't start a rally if you help em make a profit
But nah I ain't got the answers Sway
I know it's prolly hard to steer your mind away
I ain't selfish enough to think that mine is great
So if you digging the music? Mine away
Started my own business I mind with mine
We brainstorm then rain dance and watch the sky
I let my actions speak for me so I mime with rhymes
You step and see these hands I box in need of separation
I think the only time I hesitate
Is if I start worrying bout what all the other ppl say
And she'll point it out
Between two of us tho, who took longer to shower get dressed and come out the house
I'm just playing
But most of my jokes now are bitter
Been burned so much I'm needing medical attention
So when they play my song I hope you remember vividly
What every last one of you motherfuckers had did to me
Shad said develop Jordan memory
Soon as I move to a Newtown I bet they pick me
But I digress
I see these Kevin Harts tryna flex till you check em and now he can't say it with his chest

Dear No one
I wrote you a poem
Inspired by an old Tori Kelly song
About patience/I been doing a lot of waiting
And working
And wading
The water feels amazing
Started with my feet and then I got my waist in
Shortly after my body got acclimated
The farther I move out the warmer it gets
Some folks get out but I stayed in
I still don't understand why you didn't make the trip
And didn't wanna swim
The weather is gorgeous
You should be laid up while I'm taking your portrait
Feet in the sand building a fortress
I'm sure it's better that we didn't try and force it
But you gave up carbs to make ya size 4 fit
That was back then or before now
That was verse here, and there's chorus now
So if you're out there I swear to be good to you
But I'm done looking
So when the time is right you'll be here but for now
Dear No One
This is your love song
Never been good at riding the wave
I always understood that the tide could change
I'm never too high or too low in the day
Cause when they sea ya level rise then they gravitate
No matter weather I can move my umbrella
I ask if she's shore cause if not we can resort
To plan B in a luxury suite
Order good and do things worthy of planned parenthood
But it's apparent that she's waived my right
To be the current flow she goes with and saved some time
She left a note in the sand that explained why
I didn't even get to wave goodbye

I hope you know that's what I'm tryna do
So my apologies if I never make it through
When it's all said and done and they say my time is through
I just I just wanna be the truth
I wanna see us do the things we never thought we'd do
The more we accomplish its just the more we gotta prove
It's hard when you notice everybody wants to be you but nobody wants to be you so I try to tell the kids just to be you and nobody else
Know yaself know your worth yougin
I ain't saying that you can't hit the club ain't twerk something
I'm just saying make sure that you got some more to offer
How will they remember you after you reach the coffin
I hope these words make you feel awesome
And I hope you know this world is here to make you feel awkward
So learn what you can while your home
So when you're on the road and I can't get to the phone I'm just thinking that
