I feel like a mastermind so I get a bit confused when I don’t see the fruits of my love I pull on the strings that attach to my wings But they never seem to take me high enough Yet Sometimes this grind just feels like I’ve been taking daily vitamins Do it every morning and take on faith that it’s workin But this is not about some alterations to my biotin It’s building up a dream and to not make it is some murder shit! That’s why every happy song’s accompanied by two melancholy That’s why every crown of thorns adorned with some pretty holly That’s why hollywood is full of dreamers but still drown in drugs n molly That’s why we can have the nicest things but we still treat em sloppy Chopping up our lives dissecting just to find the grain of pain When we should spend that effort nurturing the whispers of a flame The one that warms us in the brain or that could set our world ablaze It’s a pity that for most of us our passion’s just a phase So I can wake up every day and feel it… I can wake up every day and I can really fucking mean it What’s that mean if… I’m out here fishing for guarantees warily fearing my words might only have meaning to me Where you at? Alone I’m hiding at Home Workaholic Honed in on my Workaholic Hooked on the phonics Notes Scattered on everything I Own Rarely picking up that Phone Where you at? Alone. -------------- You need to drop some of this pressure out your mind… “How are you?”/”How you doing?”/”Want to join us outside?”/”We would really love to see you tonight!” Don’t doubt yourself, one step back, don’t mean left behind… “Soooo if it doesn’t work out?” / “I got a friend who tried the same thing” / “Didn’t work out so well for him with the same dream…” If this choices is YOURS why keep their opinions so present in your mind… “We’re just worried”/”Have you saved up money?”/”It’s a hard way to make it you know and…” It’s less a choice, a brutal need, and a state of mind… “You know you could always do this if it…” / “All I’m trying to say is….” STOP IT. -------- Now, I appreciate your concern, but guys There’s a fatal flaw that I’m a bit surprised, you don’t recognize Almost every one of you I could pinpoint once in my life A time where you would tell me with some tears held up in your eyes You said I had a dream, I really wanted to do that You said you had a talent, past tense, with regret He was such a lovely something or other, he really had a knack And she was really great at this but then, well, yeah...

High Five 03:00
Hot damn Girl you’re immaculate Cuz you look tasty, your pancake stackin it You know the way in to my heart and you’re hackin in And I’ll be honest with you I’ve been taken aback a bit By bit, like a retro game Sip by sip, I forget my name Kiss my lips, I forget my pain Corner booth as you lick my face Do you got no shame? On you as you grip my thighs And you Gently rock me side-to-side Then you bite my ear, do the thing I like And you whisper into it that I’m just your type I’m fully yours as you grip my thighs And you Gently rock me side-to-side Then you bite my ear, do that thing I like And you whisper into it that I’m just your type Chorus: Girl you go so low, just to get me high... Don’t act like you don’t know (x2) Verse 2: Playing games with me just by the length of Your Dress and yes I’m attracted to the danger I’d say her main game may be something a Jenga Because I fall apart every time when I take her Too close, she’s already stacked you know I’m in the Mouse Trap fiendin for the cheese below Find my Queen Frostine top a candy throne But after all that sweet, I know the sour to follow Close behind, and I guess the worst is I only had a couple nights I look back on as worth it Unnerving, when that side of you got purchase Took over and tore into my pride with a purpose But then you’re back at it and I grip your thighs, And you Gently rock me side-to-side And you tell me that you’re sorry and I give in with a sigh This is one more night, one more last time ------------------ CHORUS: Girl you go so low, just to get me high... Don’t act like you don’t know (x2) ------------ And now I’m slippin, in a puddle of you And when I look up from the ground I think you’re lookin kinda cute Till I spot a stream of steam that’s wisping up from my boots And see I’ve gotta couple gaping holes in my shoes Cause your toxic… I should be nauseous But instead I’m drawn right back to caustic Costly nights and the suicidal mornings I just roll my eyes like I read a stupid warning And that’s fitting, cuz you’re a bottle to me I choke you down til i can barely breathe I love the way that you need to need me And grieve so easily, it’s power And I long to feed It’s a sickness What happened to your me? When did bliss turn loose? What happened to our we? What happened to this song? What happened to this song? It was supposed to be happy… --------CHORUS----------

Classic 02:30
Ooooo good to see you all here tonight So crack beer pop wine, so fresh, so fine Oh my, hear em yelling fella are ya feeling right? Yeah boy I’m feelin tight! Gonna hit em with the classic roof down and gas it Tailored zoot suit turn a man to a gatsby Button down brass with a lighter to match it And a shotgun Daisy, the girl’s so sassy! ------------ We out tonight and gotta get it right So take a drink and take three more Make a groove thang move like it’s something prove Shake it like you’ve never danced before We dressed to the nines and we’re feelin fine Like a bowtie troubadourrrrrrr Button that jacket zip that dress ‘owwwww!’ We’re at your door! ------------------ Where my People tryna score on the floor? Where my people tryna scout(find) a little more on the floor? Where my little over eager find em dancin on the speaker with a lack of inhibitions putting four on the floor? Where my insane champagne champions at? Where my screamin till a voice is getting raspies at? Where wallflowers early home in taxis at? You know we love you too, BUT BOY DONT COME BACK This is one for Uber driver rockin’ a Mercedez another for the queens rolling deep with their ladies One for the single mothers out without their babies And a lot for the night making yes from a maybe Hey tease slide on over to me Ya got my mind so damn fried I feel a hundred degrees I wanna pour from the wine until they’re taking my keys Then wanna grind on that behind until it’s half past 3 --------------- We out tonight and gotta get it right So take a drink and take three more Make a groove thang move like it’s something prove Shake it like you’ve never danced before We dressed to the nines and we’re feelin fine Like a bowtie troubadourrrrrrr Button that jacket zip that dress ‘owwwww!’ We’re at your door!

Well this is kinda weird, didn’t think ya would show up yet thought I’d stag around a bit and strut in my element I mean now it’s not relevant, but I guess you can tell a bit That i was living single life to its fullest, but to hell with it I was only tryna throw a party, get a couple friends by When I get a message “can i bring a mate of mine?” Yeah yeah, mofo, you know I don’t mind At the time I assumed you were another guy, no lie But come 9 the doorbell rings I’m still cleaning things lazily Open up the door and score the friend is quite a lady see Now my main mission once I find out I’m mistaken Is to figure out this beauty and to find out if she’s taken I remember you were wearing just a tight blue and black dress And it was messing with my mind when you were sat up on my mattress Yeah I saw you wearing just a tiny blue n black dress And I was getting thoughts when you were sat up on my mattress ----CHORUS---- Do you remember back to, that first December? When you met me? I could already see Stars on the ceiling but, I had a feeling That I was, just waking up ---- Kinda askin questions but I didn’t wanna say it So I’m actin all observant gotta see the body language Were they holding hands? No he said that they were not dating But could someone only be a friend with such a foxy lady? Alright Brandon stop. You’re probably staring. She probably thinks you’re weird - quick, show her your pet ferret! No shit don’t do that she probably doesn’t really care Would y’all please excuse me I’ma run and fix my hair Grab a change of clothes you know I gotta look fly Ah nobody’s said it since 2009 Alright, calm down, deep breaths, suit up in a tie This is evening is no longer just chillin with the guys So I got myself together called a car to the apartment With driver in a suit poppin champagne from a compartment Cuz And I know a guy who knows a guy the bill is quite alarming But I’m tryna to be charming, better roll out the red carpet, right??! ----------- CHORUS ----------- I remember your eyes on mine when we started dancing For a drunken club, it was kind of romantic Did your heart race too, did it feel kinda frantic? Caught me by surprise, I haven’t been one to panic And after closing time After the subway line You all came back mine I said you could stay the night The next part I remember well Despite a hazy swell Up in my mind before we said goodnight And I’m really not one to kiss and tell but... (I’m not!) ------------ CHORUS -------------

I Woke up today feelin mindful I took an eyeful of the morning sun As I’m checkin on my vitals I got a bit of the good stuff And I’ve been high on the good love And I been killin the song stuff Got vacation coming up For once I sleepin’ good enough Accomplish what I should’ve done I’m Squeezin on a cutie’s buns With a tune that makes me dumb with hummin’ Everything I want I kinda get it Everything I say Comes to life before I’ve said it Feelin like a poet when I pen Every post upvoted, Reddit Shared my music Watch the motherfuckers spread it My head is like a pine though High up in the sky though Reachin for the high notes And work em into my flow Feelin on top Feelin overly smooth I don’t wanna overstep or be rude But I could teach a thing or two And Share it all with you Here my friend break bread And take a piece of my mood

I’m like an animal that’s stalking its prey! Im sneakin closer to the scent of it every day And I’m still fine tho, even when caught up inside a bind though I realign my spine and put my trust inside of my nose I got close so I can go toe to toe With all these average Joes flowing so slow And thinkin that their motion matches FloJo I turn to beast mode then I duck the Lynch low leap up upon my goal and I go and I fuckin shred it You could catch me on a bad day I’d still remind you all of something my old man would say You can take a shit hand a bitch slap from life And guide some real of strife into something that don’t look like a sad case Caught up in the rat race, when you just want the rap race Beggin for fan face and carve the time to carve your own space But they say nay the DJ’s don’t play your life’s work up on the radio waves You could say this isn’t hip hop you could say this bitch dropped His bars down the well and you can smell that shit cause it’s rotten And my reaction would be to not give you traction Flashing middle fingers for good fashion and fishin out those bars, resume the action And actually I don’t care if I cash in Could Take forever before my sound is ever meshing and mashing With what they sincerely wanna hear, and like in their rappin’ But I ain’t never been popular, (so) I’m comfortable with that shit ------- CHORUS: I ain’t saying that it’s easy baby But god damn it isn’t complicated! I got scars to prove it, ticket stubs to date it Just a matter of time before we make it I aint saying this is easy baby But god damn it isn’t complicated! I got scars to prove it, ticket stubs to date it Just a matter of time before we break shit ------------------------- I don’t really know if I’ll ever be stackin Benjamins But got on good authority that bars could become venomous Enemas to my enemies if practice is my sentiment Challenge myself like cinnamon psychopathic I’m Dennis in Always Sunny and funny enough I don’t crave the runny yella Rays of sunshine as much as everybody else does It’s not that I like it gloomy and rainy I just don’t check I got Blankets over the windows to keep my recordings sexxxxxx-y (or ‘echo free’) I’m satisfied to be inside I’m all the time up in my mind I automatic fire fire until I’m shootin blanks I kick the writer’s block in its crotch and don’t stop until it’s droppin’ my words And cursin’ me while I’m yellin’ thaaanks! Cuz you gotta take back what’s yooooours! (doubles on last words) And if you never had it well start at your ground floooooor! (doubles on last words) Ignore the entire world til you can’t be ignored n then you go make yourself a ruckus say fuck this I’m kickin’ down their damn doors! -------- CHORUS --------- So why don’t ya show me something you’ve got up in the tank, boo Words count for nothing can’t buy your food with a thank you! You run your mouth about how you be crafting dank grooves But another month has passed and your Spotify’s still blank, boo Thought you were gonna paint too, thought you were making gains too But this is kinda lame you’re still lookin’ like the same you Never take the blame you, videogames you Ambition on a tame route, lookin like a lame you Ohhh i ain’t saying this is easy baby But god damnit isn’t complicated I got scars to prove it, ticket stubs to date it Just a matter of time before we make it ----------- CHORUS x2 -----------

Later, Babe 03:06
Hey babe, hope you enjoyed your stay Hope the record made you move and groove out today I got a large does of comatose coming my way Cause i’ve been putting in the late night work for this play I’ve been dressing up the stage I’ve been coming out my cage I’ve been coming of age For ages and still never quite reached the stage I should probably be at, but that’s ok I just wanna say thanks Y’all made my day If you made it this far then you’ve listened a bit And a message this direct on a project mix Is probably not what you’d expect But before you press “next” I just want to spit My deep appreciation cuz I’m chasing a dream And you found this shizz , and then you actually streamed A stream consciousness flowing from my brain to my mouth And even if it went south well I guess ya stuck around Hot damn, I know I’m laying on the cheese But right up in your headphones is about where I wanna be Or your speakers I’m up in your house creeper Now seriously, lemme bring you up to speed I used to sit and freestyle rap a bit I used to make lame songs back when I was kid I dreamed of being on stage when I grabbed some years But I was always too afraid to really ever change gear -----Chorus: I’m in You back? Hell yeah My man My girl No plans Just go That’s rad I’m in You back? Hell yeah My man Let’s paint This town Let’s take It back ------------------- Y’all made it back to the end of the party I hope you’re feelin inspired i hope you’re feelin kinda naughty I hope you lookin’ at your lover while you’re touchin’ on your body That’s the kinda feelin I hope that this record would embody Little sexy, little encouragement Little can do attitude, little bit of sin Little win, little spin on the narrative within Don’t doubt yourself baby you’re the damn kingpin Or the queen pin, i dont wanna make a scene in This a musical place and I’m so tired of politicking So I hope ya just kicked it Hope some choruses were sticky ‘nough To get up in your brain and make ya love the words I’m sangin’ Make ya wiggle to left Make ya wiggle to the right Make ya break it down dirty With your hands to the side I grew up on salmon dancing I was middle school grinding To the 50 cent eminem Lloyd banks Fire With the Baggy track suits And a swagger that was limpin And no we could not define it But we thought that we were pimpin And I’m cringing (yeesh) But that’s the thing about the past part of who you are And the bad don’t last So embrace the weird Make it your shit The end result is everything that you’ve been I embrace the weird make it my shit The end result’s just a few songs like this --------- CHORUS ---------

Who hurt you? Let me at ‘em! Who turned you into this angry ball of uncontrollable spasms? Who taped your eyes wide open and promised the truth, Then sat you front a TV and switched on some Fox News? When I look at you I see red, and not because I’m mad It just appears you’ve color coordinated so you can match your MAGA hat At least your fashion’s mega-rad, psyche, but we can come back to that After you’re done blabbing bout crime rates of inner city blacks Ever been to a city? Or do you just like to flap Your jaw and advertise to the world all the culture that you lack I’m praying for a heart attack exactly as you start to yap I eagerly expect next you’ll tell me that the earth is flat Oh it is? That makes sense If it was round you’d have slid off from being so fucking dense I want to have this discussion but much like mike pence your cuntiness is god damn relentless --------Chorus: You’ve got this anger Held up in your chest And you can point it At everyone else We’re screaming why why why You don’t check yourself We’re not buying into What you wanna sell ---------- Alright let’s start over, gimme something I can work with Why do you feel people who are different are so worthless? I hear a lot love and acceptance in your sermons So why would I get the side eye if I walked up in your churches “Well, when it comes to non-whites, it’s something in the melatonin” You mean melanin? “Melany? No, that’s the local homo!” Oh boy, I can see this is a no-go A few too many moonshines turned his brain cells to a no-show I’m sorry though, it’s no insult to your intellect I’m just trying to understand exactly what you’re trying to protect Your confederate flags and casual use of slurs Directly contradict the respect of no ma’ams and yes sirs My brain hurts, I’m well and truly stumped I need a slight break from your word dump Oh and yeah he’s a goddamn chump But I just did this whole song and I didn’t mention __ __ __ __ __ ------------------------- Chorus: You’ve got this anger Held up in your chest And you can point it At everyone else We’re screaming why why why You don’t check yourself We’re don’t buy into What you wanna sell -------------------- <Interview clip plays> -------------------- Chorus: You’ve got this anger Held up in your chest And you can point it At everyone else We’re screaming why why why You don’t check yourself We’re not buying into What you wanna sell
