Bunch of ideas you just gotta produce Running they mouths ain’t sayin nun truthful Spend long while trying grinding only to find out the that that shit wasn’t useful Me llama Kuzco Emperor flow I had to make the rules up I broke out like a loophole Hit both coasts Scope the view from the roof Takeoff stop to get a tune up Do it again I’ve been studying the ruins Said it couldn’t happen Said it been too long Endless equivalent repetition Then the cycle has to break Fibbin natural sequences aiming to convince of semblance of the godly living Taking more than is given set a man on the path to sabotage his existence who was wrong? Job hunt draggin on Rent still due this month Had to get my hustle up Few on the side connecting to pay the tribute Running up the digits with my crew Grinning like a bunch bucktooths Maintain my vision on the swivel Count accurate to the nickel Shawty sweet in my tea like honey I can’t do the stevia Factual cannot play me like I’m fufu I’m with water in the the stew whip thicker than couscous Wondering how he do that I'm in the kitchen like a iron chef Can’t play games with the people health One true wealth Ready yourself like you comin for the belt Ain’t no birdland we got heavy weather Talkin and movin round but ya weight feather I’ll be you never Get it thru ya head You might start doin better The game really just trial and error For you spaz done tried to tell ya Tried to prepare ya The game really just trial and error

Mini Soda 01:20
lyrics
I catch the rock like randy moss Touchdown stock up the points moving across Exit the huddle mix up the play call it an audible Win or loss still collecting the pay call me the boss When I script the law each word connect like a dot Me and partners might start a firm like SamBerg and Ross Running up the bag grabbing cuts from the top And we not close Obviously cut a from from a different cloth Patch the work together like fabrics with zero cotton Turn the nothing to something and the value skyrocket I’m the Marshall y’all wearing knock off clothes I maximize the profit margin and I keep the cost low Until I’m in my pj’s on a pj headed to congo Oslo to tokyo I already caught the toss with my off hand I’m like 84 I’m running routes you could get lost in Shooting through hoops and rings aint never missing my target Them boys in blue loose with the trigger make sure you moving with caution The truth isn’t hidden its seldom sought I don’t argue cuz most wouldn’t give it an after thought Bring a pot to the table to talk I prefer the skills cuz Luck could get lost Careful all of them sleights and your card might get drawn

Adjacent (ft. freespottie) 03:08
lyrics
Just within reach Adjacent next to what you see Corners of the your eyes on the periphery Spelling and the meaning in the dictionary Information in a book you ain’t read Dandies growing where you planting your seeds Distance from the roots to the branches and leaves Relationship between a bird and an eagle Bawling like your lady told you she wanna leave Balling up a spliff mix the back and the weed Ball into the net from your fingers leaves Balling like steph while I’m eating curry Taking all my time I ain’t in hurry Talking out sides of they necks don’t believe em It’s plenty people sick and doctors won’t treat em It’s many in a cell watching their bullies get released If you can’t join em gotta beat em Who really wanna be revolutionary Standing an example of the change you want to see If we can’t break the shackles then they gonna break our feet At the very least tryna let them bullets free That’s why it’s so much violence in the hood and in the streets Told us what we need but that was the deceit I think if we act together then we cant see defeat Kicking straight game I’m hip hop Bruce lee Or either Bruce Wayne how I’m vigilante Adjacent to the justice league Add mics plus me and get substantial increase Kicks hanging high on corners out east Serving up the lines like a cafeteria What’s a buffet vs having a feast It’s different when you eating with ya family

Divided 03:12
lyrics
Sending the messages on the line It’s better we multiply the might Shooting the luckiest strike Coming together aight Beat a lil headstrong hyena that’s caught up in his pride Long as they know that the boundary well defined Laughing but I got the tigers eye Imma spot all of the signs The verbals is legally binding Word to moms I ain’t lying They swearing oath on assignment Palm to the good book still didn’t know what’s inside it They only told pieces these just bits thats provided Toting the pieces 45 and a 22 with ammo inside it Looked for his enemies he couldn’t find them Left behind what hidden in between the lines and under the fine print Obvious how much they’d rather keep us all divided Feeding us the crumbs until our bodies and minds sick Home sittin getting island visions now you’re vomiting their propositions Quote this so scripted what’s the sense signing for loans when you can buy interest If dollars and cents ain’t coming back home then you better buy different Maybe you’ll find different That’s just the nature of contemplating the sciences Divided Divided Babylon attempt to tame our leader Kush and to Kemet we have de ancient healers Jah protect you affi praise him selah You come fi war we come fi take no prisoners It’s easy to figure that you should expect less from a figurehead Nominees similar to marionettes controlled by the strings instead playing the defense for the people they represent Standing in the place like the letter X At the intersection holding signs with the message But they don’t comprehend our dialect Cant collect the change cuz the telephone lines dead Oh look here the comes the puppet telling lies again Insisting on an agenda I am not convinced of Years of indifference that’s the long division The foods free I only need a piece of your soul If you’ll feast on it then the more I control Double tax the garden and the seeds to grow I’ll trade it for your autonomy on a lease to own Birds fly outside my window I just never see em till the sun rise Ain’t cutting pie right shorting the team tryna keep a bigger slice Pig is out on a weeknight got some they got some bars they tryna lock us all behind On the beat and infringing on rights the remainder gone be their demise

Wakeup 02:57
lyrics
Wake up Get up Get up Wake up Best to take hold of the factors that you do control Better rise early and get that chicken before the rooster crows I’m tryna keep the farm close like a old mac donald Back when I was broke now that’s somebody that I used to know Lots of folk that’s not the same person if the truth be told Instead of being real rather wrap the jewels in golden foil If we in the same game must be running off a different code I need a career at least with upward mobility It be days I don’t receive the sleep that I’m needing Working all the time its hard to tell when the week end If you ain’t strong enough then ask for help and don’t pretend Work today and tomorrow Up at 6 in the car Otw to the job Cause for no alarm Every exit a start Every negus a star Back at it again I’m about to need some more money to spend Wake up Get up Get up Wake up I used to count the sheep on the way to my dreams Now I'm more focused on counting green see how much i recieve I might need a machine I upgraded the leaves My pad went from the wide ruled to those collegiate things From the lettuce to the kale like my garden could bring em Different leaves in the spring I'm leaving for seasons cuz i see the seasoning's changed Me I'm out in the range Me I'm roving like I was landing on mars for some days I'm feeling so strange The brew is amazing I just do it and save it While you losing your patience Shawty mood improving from the more that we make it Getting cheddar and cutting the bacon

That's Right 02:02
lyrics
I be on go when I catch my ride I can play make while these cats play write All about the bag so don’t even try My shoes muddy cuz they been outside I am not phased by the clouds in the sky After all the days I done worked through the night Now I got electric connection to the light She got types of sexual expression on the mind See the way I’m hustlin been on the grind Shawty want a player like this in her life I speak boom bap over beats lo fi Hi def on your screen Té bout to go live I definitely say what I mean over mics Serve tracks through the newsletter you should subscribe My methods ancient griot to the scribe Certain circumstances is hard to describe How many real friends that you really can rely Put em on the list drop the pin then slide Only count the ones that’s really down to ride Back before we even had the funds to divide If you say you can’t get it done don’t try Do it for you self if you want it done right Better not waste another day or a night Cuz aint nobody gonna live your life I heard the city on go tonight That’s right They saying that the album bout to pop That's right Talking biz, swag, and the style That’s right Told me it’s gone be hotties in the spot Is that right? You ain’t stopping till you reach the top That’s right Crowd lit before the show start That's right In the party imma play my part That’s right Make sure you workin smarter not harder That’s right

Mild Euphoria 03:28
lyrics
Baby please treat me sweet now and later You know I ain’t chasing hoes I’m chasing paper Everything that I be cooking flavor flavor Put it on her tongue she forgave me Paint it like a portrait name it Tracy Watch and slip into a trance daydream Mild euphoric sensations Euphemisms for my sinful tastes Vegetables on my dinner plates Roll the Kush and then I vegetate While I lay I let my mind race Read a couple chapters later Fall asleep and never mark the page Call up kitty kat and take a break Dark chocolate I cannot refrain Riding to the Texaco I’m otw Surfing like I’m on the Diego bay Kids is surfing like they on the subway They surfing like they on a webpage Sunday to day on the red and blue trains Busted shades need some new frames Ain’t my job to ask you to change I was in my room Going through a few of the ways to a better attitude Up early but I only slept two Nother nap around noon after some food Mama told me I should go and find some work to do But whenever I apply they disapprove Studying the board tryna pick a better move God if you got a solution give me two Told lil homie he should switch trains Or he’ll arrive back at the same station OGs told him he should be safe Teachers told him he a disgrace Couldn’t even keep a straight face They ain’t even tryna save face You can see the marks that remain Every lie make another pimple raise Different game need another pimp to play Different folks have different goal posts Eyes is closed you tryna pin the tail On the floor like the piñata fell Nappy fro she wanna pick her hair Drive the boat I’m a buccaneer Super bowl at the halftime show Watch it home or should I take her there History told some folks ain’t playing fair Instead of helping yo Most would just stop and stare I was in my room Going through a few of the ways to a better attitude Up early but I only slept two Nother nap around noon after some food Mama told me I should go and find some work to do But whenever I apply they disapprove Studying the board tryna pick a better move God if you got a solution give me two

Paddle 01:21
lyrics
Took a long time just checking on my mind Shawty came around Now she’s checking on my grind Guppies in the sea love me checking on my line I ain’t got the time for a text wit no reply All facts baby know I cannot tell a lie Ten toes down on my word I gain height Rolling up the doja in the dojo gettin fly The nest tested my mental imma touch the sky Touch of death is so gentle never felt the bite How many homies fashodee wouldn’t testify These phonies next to an OD couldn’t mess with my cypher How these cats is cappin so calmly is a marvelous sight Really spending they energy on virtual fights My tendency is to get the green I be fishing I might have go and cop a couple nori pack and divide it Wavy Shawty like the poke of poseidon My trident lay her over while we standby for the flight I think imma get some z's in the sky Fund the business and I just pocket a stipend Reishi in the smoothie now I’m feeling enlightened I’m proceeding through the speeds like I was riding a bike Changing up the gears while I adjust for inclines Measuring the treks by the block and the mile You could tell how far I’m goin cuz I ain’t even checking time Need to check your mind before them checks get signed
