Verse 1: I put my music together, start with a vinyl core And then give it life with a heart beat and a spinal chord Make it a statement and bangin in case they might ignore And oppurtunities knockin but who's behind the door What you think I'm rhymin for a mental exam My flow is tighter than culdesac party parkin so face it Amazing ovations are great but it's about how you take it so Hook: Take it slow, away we go The melody and rhythm tells the people that we're different When you hear the change, you'll feel the same Forget the things they told you, let the music just control you Here we go Verse 2: One thing with music, when it hits, you feel no pain Thats only if you feel it in your brain You feel it in your heart, then you might start to feel it in you veins And nothing that you feel with be the same, what a shame You misunderstood me when I said I'd get into your jeans I mean DNA not denim baby, rip em at the seams Using music as the means to alter you double helix So now you don't just listen anymore you come to feel it so Hook

Hook: Living every day to define mans mission Lookin to the sky for divine transmission Deaf mans vision makes the blind man listen Eyes on the prize this is blind ambition Verse: What you find inside my mind is worse than Tyler durden This is like if Johnny quest strapped a bomb to haji's chest and left C4 hidden inside his turban Then him to detonate his chest and face inside a church when Girls and guys were learning bible verses Leaving nobody moving, just to call it idle worship Ironic though making a wake out a revival service Quite disturbing but i bet before the final curtain I get the last laugh and the final word in I'm not a violent person, not sure if that's known But you rap clones need backbones and I'm feelin like a spinal surgeon And I'm determined just to prove to you you cannot be Richard To me this rappin is a passion not a hobby mister You toy soldiers want the war until your body's splintered Get scorched when I put a pitchfork through you snobby hipsters Ima storm you can't prepare for like a Mohave blizzard Catchin all types of wreck and leavin the mic in check like Bobby Fisher And you should probably get your things you gon have to bounce No progression cause you're frontin but you're backin out Struggling to find the right click like an apple mouse And it's over when the fat lady sings and Adele's platinum, ouch I have drive. I don't need a Benzi Beamer Bentley Seems that many teams recieve their ending if they speak against me Not a Muslim but you eating with police offends me Vegan tendencies are deemed unhealthy when the beef is plenty My 16's kill, why squeeze it til the piece is empty How they Marvel at my bars'll turn Bruce banner green with envy Probably resent me but you niggas embarrass me Wearin out my patience like physical therapy I make this music to give something to it You do ya thang for gain we're different apparently Napoleon complex til they niggas in Paris me Then I'll do it bigger than Warren Buffet's mission for charity Cut from a differently cloth, ain't no rippin or tearin me Dollars spent on uncommon sense, I'm a bit of a rarity Four eyes see through your lies, no vision impairing me And I would trade it all for a minute of clarity Im chillin out in Acapulco, illin with with a lot of locos Fuckin proud, take a couple bows like waka flocka vocals You got a lot of dough, does everybody got to know though I'm sure that life's more than drops and hoes and poppin logos Can't collect $200 dollars, you won't go for it On the road to success but you won't floor it They ain't gainin position cause they're aimin and missin They claiming theyre driven but they have nothing to show for it They claim I'm the same but no way I'm sane I got both the Parker brothers scared to play my game They say that I'm offroading, I'm tryna make my lane I got Voldermort himself scared to say my name She got too much baggage she won't take my plane Hit up congress and break up bills to make my change They heard he's eclectic, every word is electric And I still show out like emergency exits I'm the creature in the dark, tell your son and your daughter But you're speaking to a shark that smells the blood in the water Im the right man to lower any hype jams life span Cause mic stands are like lambs that are coming to slaughter Raw Hook

Verse 1: Can you kick it I heard you can boot it if the shoe fits Better tie your laces up if you intend to do this I'm Adam Vinaterri preparing your last lesson Beware if Lucy moves the ball away at the last second Ain't no half stepping. Only go full throttle Ain't no glass empty, Ordered a full bottle But before you celebrate make sure you really want this Cause really one miss can turn you into Billy Cundiff Bitch you wasnt with me kickin in the breeze If the world is a stage, during intermission leaven Are the innocent decieved by the Ignorance and greed Do they need four eyes for a different vision please Just a bit of fore sight is what your intuition needs I guess its hard to stay afloat with all those Inconsistent seas My mind is a maze meant to lead other minds to amazement Comin to you live from the Matrix Verse 2: These guys are lackin the right action when its camera time Dammit I'm Thor to you whores and its hammer time You can tell he bitch made cause all he drop is panty lines And rhymings like ridin bikes, come to bars I handle mine I'm the one that even the Mighty Duck like Anaheim Cause the way i jot a piece down like Atlanta signs Sound of Music, Roger that, call me Hammerstein Get that Andrew Lloyd Webber cheddar until that Phantoms mine Got it? Stand in line and grab you a ticket And I will show you where my mind is like a mathematician They just tryna skip the class but they lackin the vision Lines are dope, you try to quote me, gonna have an addiction You gon crash in a minute, everybody watchin. Your stock is droppin Sunshine is not Eternal so my Mind cannot be Spotless You probably clockin with no numbers, You Movado watchin This is what it sounds like when failure is not an option

Plot is dark but it's starting to thicken And when it don't got heart it's the hardest to listen We as a culture have a martyr addictions But livin by what they died for is the hardest decision Pardon me Part of me wishin they had web Dubois to read I hope the humbleness I've learned can avoid the greed Half of the music dudes are makin is just noise to be life is a whirlwind but I enjoy the breeze Visitin places that if traced will help youo see god Post it on tumblr hand double dare ya to reblog But if I tried to buy the bar instead of raise it I would get the world as my payment, Nothin you heard from your parents would prepare ya For Italian ferraris and America ferrera Spend my life as the terror of an era If you're watchin me for modesty the arrogance'll scare ya I think sleeping is a waste of time Stops me from lettin my dreams escape my mind Shame to find all these minor mcs with major lies Didn't have to cut and paste but they played your eyes Frontin ass drug dealers can't back up their hollowgrams Livin in the past while I'm visiting tomorrow land Studying ways to play secret notes So my songs could raise peoples hopes more than the lotto can Clever am I Rollin up a Dutch in Rotterdam Yes she got a man and I'm a hell of a guy Me and the misses trippin to exotic lands cause Rich will get big bills til he's pelican fly Well if I try, keep my songs dope and keep a strong focus We all in this game but you got the wrong coaches So your outcomes the same like lebron chokin That's what happens when you play for the wrong motives See if ain't for retail then its for the females Hourglass shaped, time spent in every detail Coulda been brains but given beauty instead Dime outside but a 2 in the head Catch every eye in every room she standin With the conversation skills of a mannequin Doesnt know a thing of the government mentions But she's an expert on guccis summer collection I write my deeper rhymes for both sides of peoples minds So when offered that route I politely must decline I do it for the love fuck the diamonds and the dimes Discretion of inception I just hide it my mind Totem of my life you guys won't seem to find But it's discovery would be like light thats seen by blind Take my punishment right between the eyes And ima Nikehead, not the type to even try I just.... 2012

Hook: Good weed, bad women Fast cars, fast livin You'da though we got it perfect All we need is bottle service Fast lane, high pace All in, high stakes And all my people rollin with me throwin it up Carl: Please tell the models to escort the bottles Champagne flights through the night Man its the life, tonights the night We gon get right Girl don't be nervous, we bout that bottle service Verse 1: So fly my flights overnight. You know the guy, few know the life This lifes a gamble, who rolls the dice? Those that know their value and know their price So I live it up Middle fingers up if you didn't give a fuck what they bringin up These thirsty niggas buy drinks? (The fuck?) I'm with models and bottles they bring to us See my team come 1st like a prefix And the money come 2nd like a remix Cause the same people I starved with are the same people I eat with And its clear to see that we feastin, I got an appetite for destruction She's Adrianna's complexion with Aphrodite's seduction I made sure that if I did it, you know that I always did my thing I'ma handle the shit life brings until that day that we live like kings And I love it, livin in this moment that we in And Im just hoping that this moments not the end, until then give me Hook Verse 2: Then I thought to myself like, does it all really matter Is the cash and the clothes and the baddest of hoes really all that were after What I jot in verses got you thinking i got it perfect Til the moments fade and you feel like you're livin without a purpose Death is promised, life is not and I just gotta live mine Layin tracks to make a path in case I should forget mine And this time is uncertain, never sure whats in store And while I search for something more, can't ignore the allure of the Hook

Verse 1: Take a trip straight down to h town then I lean like Hakeem Olajuwon heard of the name and the words that I slang got me labeled a street phenomenon Yes I speak atomic bombs fuck is you tryna C4 Active with my Passive fist til your battleships on the sea floor No crashin I won't sleep well til my Aston is a v12 She dont have no class but her ass got her a cl I like cover girls and centerfold and beauty queens from the old country Meet for lunch, cheif a blunt then Beat it up like she stole from me It's Mary time, that 420. new chain cost no money You coppin jewels I'm dropping jewels, That's knowledge fool, shit so funny Flow so cold your nose runny, better get your kleenex Game is looking fucked up and im bout to press the reset Nerdy nigga but straight ignit. Old lac with that paint drippin Red top, half black, half white, Blake griffin Treble trouble, that bass hitting that beat drop and yo face missin I go far, take Goyard and got more bars than state prisons Changing my location to you lame niggas I stay distant Can't visit the places that I day trip with no plane ticket Physically mentally same difference. Elevate your echelon Translation, get on my level hoe cause you never on Your Megaman. I'm Megatron. Wing Zero with the scope on Your squad be lying as a whole, we call you Voltron Runnin tracks, hundred laps, get my usain bolt on To show em I don't give a fuck the whole song Hook: See them niggas over there, Nigga i don't give a fuck, nigga i don't give a fuck Never thought that life was fair told em I don't give a fuck, told em I don't give a fuck And they really think I care nigga i don't give a fuck, homie i don't give a fuck Middle fingers in the air nigga I don't give a fuck, told them niggas i don't give a fuck Verse 2: Feelin the strength of the blunt Drank in my cup Scent of the reefer is waking me up Leavin you sleep with the bass in the trunk If you blowin my high or you faking the funk Blow in a day what some make in a month What you spendin on rent couldn't pay for my dunks Your lady is lunch Head is amazing the same for her butt but she crazy as fuck Trying to roll up an 8th in a dutch. Let go of stress when I blow the cess That hoe you stress, team strokes her neck Bitch gives blow jobs like coke connects You clowns need new bounties What the fuck is a Dog next to Boba Fett They say they prepared to face the stairs but to rise to the top you gotta know the steps Want more respect, don't hold ya breath, wanna know the best than you gotta watch me Tokyo trips with a lot of sake and then take shots like papparazi Suicide doors to the ride, your boo inside on that kamikaze Past rhymin bout black diamonds so I told the jeweler to amistad me Y'all be on that 2 chains but I'm higher up on the food chain Dope model chick from the Ukraine Coke bottle thick she a blue flame And yo bitch is a bic with no butane You be thinking you fly but you too plane Nigga my basements your ceilin And if you hate me cause i state how I'm feelin Hook I like bowties, Shepard fairey, Vonnegut and film scores Alvin ailey Woodshocks Exclusive nikes you might kill for Get triple teamed and I'll still score Y'all celebrate and I'm still bored If you're trying to find you a sign of the times then the rhymes that I write are a billboard I follow the beat of my own drum Gotta know how it feels bombin the beat til the song done Gotta know how to build I'ma stay true to me, state musically everything i am Talk shit and you think I give a damn Hook

Dear Summer 03:21
This is a story of boy meets girl But you should know up front This is not a love story Dear Summer, I hope that you get this I hope no ones around and I hope that you listening Don't want you to think I only did this cause I miss you Cause I don't, it's just kinda hard to forget you Get a couple things up off my chest I didn't get to Like how the hell did I have you but still couldn't get you Was there something I ain't give you? Or even if relationships were leggings they wouldn't fit you, either way I wish you Have only happy tomorrows while i think about our yesterday's I'll right it all out until there's nothing left to say Dreams of being the architect and gettin paid But I would rather let Ellen Paige build the mental stage Getting stray love philosophies from all these little girls on soccer teams "Don't be a pussy" little sister sounds like Socrates People are seasons, who'da thought after you I'd fall with ease But I bet it'd get cold as winter if Autumn leaves But maybe a change in the wether is all I need Saying you were mine was like I caught the breeze My dear it might be a bad idea to reminisce about Ikea when she's right here Ida never thought it could change like that Never thought I could feel a pain like that Can't explain how hard I trained to get your name up out my brain But give it a couple sunny days and it all came right back. All I have left is these what if questions and memories Broken belief in fate and a bastard child of destiny Would say you got the best of me but you just made a better me So I am no longer bitter that you chose him instead of me let it be like that record from that band Starring Ringo How'd you go from wanting no labels to wanting rings though You did what you did but it's all about progression And it is what it is but it's all about perception I learned if love's a movie I just didn't fit the screen What you expect and what you get are like 2 different scenes And as I lie on the cutting room floor I realize I couldn't do more But I thank you and tell the people that made you in greatful Who'da thought a life lesson could been so graceful As far as love, well I'm glad you know it exists But I still can't play any Hall and Oates or The Smiths And even though our story is written I keep it dog eared And revisit how one season was like a long year Yet all in all take the good with the bad I'm thankful for the time we had Sincerely..... PS SHE AND HIM SUCKS

I will behead a competitor, every measure irregular With the teeth of a predator, every beat is a registered Victim of Rich sins. When I hold the mic You Joker types get slit grins and the loaded dice Part of him a bomb, part of him a beast Pardon we departing from Milan, party in Belize Part Charizard, charrin every beat And I'm throwin heat seekers if the target is in reach Livin GAWS over flaws til the argument is ceased Ill flow, crazy bars, spittin Arkham with a leak How I get her, never sweat her, never cardigan or fleece And she probably gon be on me even harder when we meets Tryna get Rich but no equal in Desire World full of wrong but this evil can inspire Naysayers and haters only secretly admire Holy shit each verse? boy you preaching to the choir Church, Mosque, Synagogue, heavenly roads That can turn you from Amber to Emily Rose And my words so wavy your mental erodes This machine gun funk, let the pencil reload

Turn up the speakers til the amps blow Screamin "this is it" but no one in my Camp Lo We was gettin Coolie High, that was in the plan though Copying's the opposite of everything I stand fo Recipe is destiny, chef is not exactly givin me what isnt meant for me Still, gotta rap because i feel it my bones when i spill it from the dome Killin songs til my legacy builds, holla at me for the truth And you know everybody wants the juice Til youre feelin like Q, tossin bodies off the roof If the price is a life, then it gotta be paid, I aint stuntin this is somethin i can honestly say I'd be like sir Hook We move the stars, we move the skies We gettin crunk, we gettin live Wont get you drunk, we wont get you high But never mind, cause we'll get you right Right, Right Right(x4) Verse 2: Action, life is real but youre still actin Yes stressed but nevertheless still maxin See Rich rappin in Singapore with the chorus I bring The Lord of the Rings, youre Gollum I'm Phil Jackson Parapelegic guarantee that you gon feel us Kickin out the Jazz til my Banks gon Fill up Flow tough until my dough nuts like old Dilla You go ape shit? My flow show niggas who go realler, go figure Feeling like the ceiling lights are growin dim Heard applause the curtain draws, the show begins If you wanna question why I'm rockin the stage I aint trippin listen, this is what i'd probably say, I'd be like sir Hook Verse 3: Just a misfit tryna find where i belong And these niggad wanna knock it but they vibin to my songs Doesnt matter how you start it, you just gotta finish strong Word to my niggas in Paris and mulattos in Milan Playing "Potholes in my Lawn" when I was 3 feet high Bet its hard to recognize real with CG eyes But you were blinded the second the money got in the way And if you see it how I see it, you should stop them and say something like sir Hook

Rack City 02:47
Lyrics: Rack city bitch rack rack city bitch Wack silly shit is that what rap really is You cats listening to all of that ignorance Gimme that jay, that Nas that biggie shit Public Enemy NWA people who grab mics but had something to say I ain't shatin on a nigga gettin money and they shi But show me that there's something more than money on your mind My thoughts are priceless and I fought my vices Can't be unique so you bought the likeness Don't seek success how y'all defined it Flawed and blinded til were all reminded that it's Rack city bitch rack rack city bitch Wack silly shit is that what rap really is Leather jacket and shades like black militants Can't surpass the master and lack d Tattoine days, Jedi knights Millennium falcon red eye flights Never paid y'all attention I led my life And I won't be left alone til I'm read my rights I give em TLC wih left eyes mic The more I freestyle the less I write Eyes on the prize never left my sights But my bars too coded to suggest my price Never test my stripes gotta show my soul out On my quest for the love will they say I sold out My sole doubt is that you have your roots in the music No room for improvement you need the whole house Rollin the whole ounce, tell houston im bout to blast off You a coin star, I'm a bellagio cash vault You mad soft, I'm Hannibal with the mask off Hit the bath salts then eat you off of the asphalt So much real to be found if you're out searching Speak truth, causing the doubtful to sound certain I'm married to the music you out and about flirtin I swear to god I hope that you drown when you're crowd surfin in Rack city bitch rack rack city bitch Wack silly shit is that what rap really is? Gimme premo, Pete rock, that dilla shit Blast it, let the mass witness the magnificence Lyrically it's like I'm rodney Mullen with a pogo Black belt jones breakin bricks in the dojo You slo mo, I start up it feels like the Preakness Call my girl Achilles how them heels is her weakness man Aint a thing to make a record with no thinking But I keep my six sense like a jefferson and Lincoln Mentally irregular but sent to eat competitors like predator so send em with whatever you was drink-in find inner peace intertwined with the beat DJs replay rewind and repeat God flow gospel so you know one exists Rack city bitch you know what it is

Never Last 02:15
I grew up having daily appointments with disappointment Wondering the outcome of my life with different choices Wondering why my closest friends became these distant voices And when the fuck did daps and hugs become these pistols pointed I learned that good things never can last Even if you puttin effort in whatever the task But don't assume that I'm a pessimist it's better to ask Viewing life in a different light with the predators mask I'm daily commentating not just making conversation Say my vision crazy when instate my observation Hate me cause I'm saying really what the people feel But life is gettin ill so I gotta keep it real Still wanna be grant hill until the knee blows Wanna be MVP until you're gettin D Rosed Want that hammertime until you see the repo Don't kill the messenger that's just how the scene goes You know that guy or the girl that you feelin Something like the center of the world that you live in What might happen if life happens and y'all go separate ways Do you regret it all or just cherish your yesterday's Up to you the way you take it, doesn't change the facts That what is done is done and ain't no way to take it back relax Plus no matter how good or bad it was I do my best to stay positive like Magic's blood Grab a dutch and sip ciroc with a lime in an optimist time you lookin at Optimus prime Fuck feelings, I'm feeling like I'm a robot In disguise Johnny 5 while you Wall-E's probably droppin like flies See good things can never last, they never can Whatever man I'm not hatin, I'm just sayin to remember them facts In case your dream team becomes the 2010 Pats See good things can never last, they could be great but Good things can never last, can you relate? Remember that all good things come to an end And nothing can last forever though its fun to pretend

Hook: Say All my people live good, may all my people live good, pray all my Will All my people live good, till all my people live good, still all my Can All my people live good, when all my people live good, then all my Wont All my people live good, don't all my people live good Verse 1: Yo I came in the game with a dollar and a daydream Feeling like the star player on the away team And the referee will probably be the death of me Bury me underground, drown me in the mainstream Used to give a fuck but now I aint so generous Used to hit the club but I don't need the membership Never was a baller on a team as a teen But the way they on my jock you'da thought I had a letterman Never had a jump shot and all of my dunks skate And I would rather chop drum breaks than pump weights Never really saw eye to eye with peers either But cheerleaders knew that I had flavor from one taste I want to excel, hungry as hell but eatin good The records labels never feel me like the people should Make sure the lights are low when I'm on the microphone And keep my reefer good til I see the reapers hood Taking over the game so hit me with the ransom Used to only reading Jet and now I'm tryna land one Used to have a lot of problems, now it seems I am one You are now rocking to the anthem, hands up Hook Verse 2: All my niggas livin good, everybody eatin now Chasin dreams with this rap shit until we feastin now I can listen to my fans as they listen to my lyrics Feel the spirit that you hearing. So happy it got me tearing up Like my revenues, used to be out selling shoes Now I'm coin shows with my bro, listen what I'm telling you Just a kid that knows how to break bread So my whole teams full, nobody left unfed This Creator shit is true, we all got one gift If we share it with the world then our lives gon flip It went from meetings with the principal to meetings with Atlantic And from bitches screaming "I hate you" to bitches thats romantic Don't understand it, I aint plan it, but God knows this When we make it to the top, we won't ride no bench We gon have some fuckin cyphers with the loudest piff We gon pull some all nighters with the wildest chicks We gon shop all day rocking fly ass kicks And we gon make this music so we all die rich ya dig All my people live good All my people live good nigga
