I can smell the stench from a mile a way/ like living behind a zoo/ y’all thought I took a holiday/ I’m a company man/ I work on my off day/ Kenny Lofton center field / I make big plays/ the crowd goes Boom/ Jon madden in his Oakland days/ My days consistently consist of/ goals/ dreams / anything you can think up / maybe I’m doing too much/ but add your favorite dry rub/ people eat this stuff up/ I’m too dangerous/ my weapon of choice is words/ in a eco system where so many students are failing/ half yall Cains just not able to conquer your fears/ the vegetables you bringing to the table from last year/ for the past year/ I gave freestyles and what is time/ so many throw away writtens in what’s app/ be surprised what you fine/ dig deeper there’s gold at the end of the mine/ take a look in my mind/ as you excavate away mining for knowledge / alone with your silence / that clank noise / you reach pay dirt / not diamonds/ you reached my conscience / mind boggling/ your legs wobbling/how my brain juggles so many things / consciousness just be modeling/ cat walking and talking / I’m lifting off in orbit/ hopefully you absorbed it/ I’m a nobody I’m not important/ just recording for sport not for the name / alone in the wilderness trying to hunt for some game/ the way you and I rap is not the same /
May the odds be ever in your favor/ my hunger has never been stronger for the game/ me and Logic have the same relationship / that Kobe had with the lakers/ I’m open to the competition open admission/ free admission / my spot ain’t open/ this ain’t new edition/ there’s only one Bobby brown/ but when Johnny Gill singing my my my/ it’s sounds different / how I convey thoughts / and paint pictures / I take this craft serious/ like the writers of the scriptures / 66 books / it’s a great read/ nourishment for the soul/ a bowl of wisdom/ delivered so proper/ food if digested right/ can make you prosper/ time to do ya book report/ and report to me after/ any takers / scalping tickets in front of Philips arena in order to intercept a man for whom you have a telegram/ it’s 2021 you know you could download the app/ while at home food cooking on the stove/ while these bars are burning your lap/ ooh this my fourth lap/ I’m hitting these corners like nuthin/ the circumference I covered/ is like a Ted talk / for a conference for brothers/ Stacy Adam’s old spice fill the room/ lost brothers in search of there lost mothers/ sweeping old feeling / that should’ve been left in there womb/ what I know let me mind my business/ a Buisness that tripled its net worth/ uncle Ben left on the stove/ felt like with his help I did it in minutes/ what else / guess you can say I’m working on my fitness/
man I’m getting sick of this / man I lying I could never get sick oof this / who you know in the truth spit as sick as this / my only wish Greg could be witness / and see the growth / and how I’ve conducted my business/ curious by standers they gonna be Witness / taking notes / I ain’t even had to go door to door/ these are just I wrote / directed to strangers/ with a stamp for today delivered tomorrow/ don’t be ducking and diving / chucking and jiving/ you don’t want these stray words to hit your throat/ I would stay about 300 feet behind this vehicle/ this a sport let me stop man can do this all day welcome to chaos yall

So many things
I’ve seen
Can turn
Into your favorite
Memes
Or moments
Minute details
Will leave you
Spinning
Like you forgot your left out washer machine on
How I’ve blazed my
Trail
So many
Hills
And curves
So many obstacles
That I swerve
It’s amazing
I never hit the
Curb
Word
I tell ya
Failure is for the birds
But pain, strife, agony
Are side dishes for life
More like au’duerves
I’m so self aware
I’m aware of how
Selfless
I can be
When I show that I care
Fear
Are shoe strings
When left untie
Can make you trip and fall
But courage
Are the timberland
Boots I wear in the fall
To preservers
When I stare in the room
Prepare to lose
Dreaming and breathing
Let it go
The fame and fortune
Fortunately
My pain been deported
Doctors order
Crossing borders
Through the water
In search of hope
Anecdotes in my notes
Grew legs
Elope
Characters
Walking
Talking
Logging
Time
So chaotic
Almost lost mind
How I find
Time
To rhyme
In time
I timed it
And sized
Rendezvous around it
So chaotic
I’m moving things to find it
the remote to
Rewind it
To time stamp
Moments behind it
Oh god
A bowl
Full of coal
In the cold
You fine a ounce of gold
After you tolled
Toil
Sprained your ankle
On a poll
Which made your ankle roll
Wouldnt it be worth it
I sold ya service
So deserving
Knowing ya purpose.
Reach the surface
Laying ya pain the carpet
Man my brain
Be playing
Like swade when he be lurking
Oh my god oh my god I’m working
Take it from my Brain
Put it in the lane
Pour in the drain
Or
Take a lil grain
Take a train
Visit Spain
Take a lil plane
Tap ya veins
Hide the pain
Spilled the vodka
Jeans stains
So much turbulence
I think it’s permanent
I’m permanently
Determine
To show my purpose
You know my worth is
Peep the
Windows 95
Windows vista
To windows 7
But you can check my surface
At this point
I’m verzuzes me
Ain’t nobody competing
In this league
But the road was chaotic
Neurotic
Exotic so stiff
Robotic
Sit back
Let me tell you about it
Im bout bout it
Never doubt it
I scream and shout it
Tout it
Well rounded
For ya sharp edges
Ghetto girls without edges
My presence is a present
Presently disturb
Y’all ain’t heard
Term paper
Essay
Thesis
Me vs the world
Back to the basics
Reasons
What is time
Story continues
Seasoned
Am radio
Writers ambition
My intuition.
Led to the suspicion
My life my pain
Is a whole vision
That’s simple math
I ain’t causing Divison
Should you ask me
If 2 vegans arguing
Is it really beef
I’m
Sorry I just really wanna know
Ok back to my speech I’m done
I’m talking bout them blackberry curve days/. I was lyrically nasty in the worst way/ I would hide all day/ submerge myself in so much content / I was content/ like a deaf mute in a mosh pit/ oh my gosh I’ve done it / reached another level/ when others would’ve punted it / shout to rim/ I put my research in motion/ gift given to me/ I’m literally letting my art breathe/ all in my 30’s/ blackberry curve 8330

To reach me takes levels/
Tunnels/
Dug deep in the earth for precious metals / let flip that /
To reach me takes many level/
Olympic athlete going Usain for that precious medal/
Late night for letterman
When they want Leno
Niesenlauf Mountains/ meets David Hasselhoff/
In the lobby of a pricey hotel
As they rattle off numbers
Man I’m bout to go off
Cause what I’m now seeing is ticking me off
My day job
Keeps up
Like aloft
how I got that bar off
On my day off
As adjust the letter a in the font
But I know the laws though
When I come to the scene
I ain’t coming to be seen
I’m in the car though
Even if you seen me
And try to come between me
The space is this wide
Like when Lucy slept
With Ricky Ricardo
What in the world though
Could Oprah be Oprah
Without Harpo
No time though
So many layers to this
Tai kwondo
I’m in the condo
Cooking these beats
Like it’s a real job though
While listening to pac
To inspire some vibes yo
If you see me spaced out
Dreaming about being in the Congo’s
Playing on some Congo’s
You can meet me and add the trombones
To complete the dead sound
We’ll name it john doe
Apple TV
Watching Ted lasso
Five heart beats got my soul
Like de la soul
My free flow
Is so polished
Rock’em with the 12’s
Think they my apostles
I got 12 of em
With the laces
The black and white taxis
Are the greatest
But that charcoal grey not my favorite
But life goes up
Must go down
Life goes up
Must go down
What goes up
Must go down
Conflicted
I can’t take the sound right now / I’m so conflicted / love has left thee/ but I’m a righty though/ there’s a thin line between love and hate / hope right beside me though/ I’m committed to my religion / my pigment / cause redemption / my skin tone / is two tongue e / with a. Big nose / minus the corn rolls / but I fit the discription/
I can’t take the sound right now
The sound right now is just too loud/
Protestors fighting in crowd /
Police disperse Gas cans/ without passing face mask/ seems so foul/ bringback back when the king walked those miles / in Selma/ so much obstruction/dialogue took a walk/ as they would tell ya/ old folks looks at our gen / think we failed them/ justice out the door/ peace so timid/ like pieces of emit till/ is it war they looking for/ Minimum wage done gone minimum/ so how can we expect to pour knowledge / but in the receiving in they poor/ acknowledge/soles of their feet so sore/ hours after hours / just trying to make more/ more money/ more love/ the agony/ amounts to frustration/ unbalanced accounts/ leads to temptation/ wrong decisions can lead / to vacation/ you know boxes / with a steel front door/ unwanted roommates / company you ain’t ask for/ manifestation/ I’m getting cotton vibes / old navy/ Tommy hilfigure shirts was gravy/ then became racy/ Always wanted a Sean john/ but they closing the old JC / for pennies on the dollar/ you know the one in KC/ I ain’t even gonna bother/ they took the play from ground/ now the kids ain’t around/ trouble they found/ as the judge hollas/ 15 to life / no Eddie and Martin vibes here / just real life / that vibe/ scars that last for all times/ im just gonna peer in these scriptures while evoking some emotions in these rhymes/ I’m
Said I’m up and down
Like loosing pounds
But this keto
Is the key though
Carbon copy at kinkos
Don’t mean to be so Adktins about it
But since I’m rapping
Let me keep rapping about it
passing by burning images
When I walk the town/
Smiles turn to frowns
But I rock a crown
I’m a king in my domain though
Class A chemistry like
Lebron and Dwayne yo
Man I’m heating up
So much substance in these bars
Man I’m eating up
Dispersing knowledge
we acknowledge
The ones who stay anonymous
surrounding
Colleges
broken promises
Graduates diplomas
Covers the foundation
It stands on
unemployment rate/
High mortgages/
Employ the rates
Low income
Suffer the fate
We can’t bank on
Cause they all in/
They put they heads together
And be I guess we’ll spend it/
Ok now I’m offended
Keep ya head up
Don’t let up no
Def and Darren love ya
What comes around
Must go up
Must go down

Directing this movie
Swade on the melody

A House hold name
Put your lighters in the air mic you feeling the same
So 1 album

Is 3 enough?
3000 songs
Ok I’m heating up
Added a kick
This beat beating up
4 albums
5 albums
I’m so vibed
Haters throw their hands up
Likes its game time
I tap my watch like
It’s dame time
I write what I like
And switch the flow at the same time
like what you give
you give what you got
I give what what I live
I gave a lot
many ingredients stirred in this pot
Better guard me from the parking lot
8 points in 9 seconds man I’m hot
Reggie Miller vs the knicks
Better watch the shot clock
Cause I’m in my lane
Crowd like Definition
He so insane
Flip words with verbs
Metaphors start to rain
Go ahead and switch it up
Keep ya head high in the sky
where definition will remain

Too many songs in the head/ can’t think right/ to sour for this verse/ don’t need sprite/ need a job put in work /bring a mic/what I deliver will inhibit all my might/ silver coin for a day job/ I work with dollars/ I don’t need your coin/ or your point of view/ put your doctrine in a slot machine/ trust my wild symbol will come through/ so sick with verbs/ put’em on vacation/ switch my language/ created my own /Rosetta Stone/ imprint my rhymes on pavement/ one of my illest lines had dudes saying amen / amen/ ugh/ I don’t believe friendships/ cause eventually that ship will sail/ then you add a business/ only time will tell/ so glad I’m a witness/ cause in time I prevailed/ witnesses were privy to my business/ announcements they witness/ hush sound filled the room/ like you dropped a book in the non fiction section/ 364 days I was in jail / to my recollection/ no phone calls no letters/ felt like I failed/ the ones who loved me / I ignored their help/ but my wife loved me / and going to the hall made me better/ wrote a 3 page letter/ intervals each time/had a interview/ 3rd time was a charm/ my whole life up for review/ where’s the pardon board/ palms sweaty/ knees heavy / they agreed/ so many prayers answered/ I was on one knee/ to bring me back on track / felt so free/ she never doubted me / but was proud of me/ value of house dropped due to the economy/ me returning added value/ more then any property / when that announcement rang / I’m the definition of feeling free/
Thanks god I made it / man them past decisions I hated / slice waited / her patience / demonstrated her love/ her affection/ in the way she know how/ now check my footsteps how I get down/ feeling so good /
Like your license reinstated/ I’m elated /
Change is never easy/
Being stubborn/
Cumbersome/
Will keep you bleeding/
The help is right there
Catch it man it’s fleeting/
We ain’t got much time /
Like we in a lunch line/
Hurry up before it’s too late
Card gets decline/
If you see what I’m seeing /
But I’m out out out here
That’s why I keep the plate full/
Out here /
Like I ain’t ate in months/
Out here
You know he out here deceiving/
Creating obstacles
For you to miss your meetings/
But these meetings are the steps
That keep us breathing/
That’s how I’m achieving/
Cause I’m fighting him too/
I’m in the 55th round /
Trust I’m fighting you/
You fight me /
Yo we fight together
I smell a victory
Peer in his thoughts
Deep dive in the word/
I’m on the verge/
Articulating thoughts while rhyming/
Well self conscious
About my environment/
Surrounded by folks
Grounded in principles/
And it’s biblical/
The fact we agree/
Makes us identical/
I’m so mental/
On this instrumental/
Words and my subject
Bonded /
Makes this verse so official/
I’m definition/
Trust I’ve grown man/
I’m a grown man/
Now I’m plotting land/
Trust I’m ok/
You can say this my forte
This dish I’m cooking
So gourmet
And this my way
As chaotic it seems /
Imagine what you could do/
If you let ya mind dream

I be rolling
In my lifestyle
Couple coins
But not wild
Duly noted
anecdotes
For my nice smile
My old sound
Was soundless
Like a deaf mute
In a mosh pit
Who love kicks
If tricks are for kids
Guess Cap’n Crunch for the grown ups
Nah I was like a prodigy
And happy someone showed up
In music theory and comedy
Took talents to south beach
So to speak
In hopes someone be proud of me
Like when you put rims on your ride
You can’t see it when you drive /
But you cruise on I -95
To catch someone’s eye/
But see I was just too private
To Invite any company
So how would I know /
if the crowd would love me /
I guess that’s what bugs me /
Ok rubs me
As for now I’m no name /
With a cold game/
Work ethic insane /
Rear view clear
No one in my lane
Many imitators
Nothing sounds the same /
You can speak like/
Dress like me /
But the fact
Remains
I be I be
The fact remains
I be I be
But the fact remains
I be I be

Be rollin
But I be rolling rolling
Check my stats
I be growing growing
All facts

Stop
And change the beat up /it
Been resting so long/
Man I got my feet up /
Competition laggin /
They need to keep up/
NBA jam/
Definition really Heating up /
Roll
Call/
I’m calling you out
Jackson 5 destiny
I’m screaming and shouting
While these young dudes acting
Weaving and pouting
One has a hair weave
His manhood I’m doubting
But I know
What I done for
What I came for
I gun for
And I lunge for
Man I do
four fours
That’s 4x4
In the 404
Or a
4x4
F150
That’s
Four doors
I’m hard core
To the core
Omg crowd asking
For an encore
My Honda
Is so accord
I mean I’m attracted
To the allure
I know there’s more
Alive
Than dead in the morgue
How do I afford
what I what afford
When I had a Ford
It was affordable
My ambitions I hid
Underneath
In the subfloor
I graduated in 04
I wish I could give you 4 more
I guess that’s 8 x2
That’s 16’s
My 16’s is cooked meal
Like cordon bleu
I know what I do
I know what I’ve seen
I stretched thoughts longer than limousines
My premise is clean
My limit has no limits
Percy Miller nose is smelling it like a chemist
Some of you guys sold your soul to
Designer jeans
With no design
Just wicked lines
And tye dye
Sold to your neighborhood maginzine
When bigger issues are ravaging
But I stay here give you unlimited access
And added bonuses
I’m giving you my 1-800 flowers
With a dozen roses
As for now I’m no name /
With a cold game/
Work ethic insane /
Rear view clear
No one in my lane
Many imitators
Nothing sounds the same /
You can speak like/
Dress like me /

Roll will it
I’m so cold
Wit it
Year After year
Bar for bar
Tap Triangle
Square
Circle
I’m so Ps5 controll wit it
Use to lose handle
When he stepped to the mic
Now I’m Randal
When I spit what I like
Run around and scramble
Juke and jive
I’m a animal
I take no prisoners
If he dies he dies
Where’s your petitioner
Im the commissioner
I said I’m the commissioner
I be rolling
Rolling in my car
Woe
Woe
Taking a drive
Letin it go
Oh my god
Everybody wanna look
When they gotta look
Then they get hooked
Mistook
What I’ve brought to the table
Music and audio dramas
Hollywood licking they lips
Y’all better be adding some commas
Or my boy Watson gonna be wildin
Trust you don’t want those problems
While crossing my arms
Screaming wakanda forever
Yeah we gonna do this together
Or don’t come around us
So y’all found us
Hard work supersedes talent
These points are valid
Like a mentally Ill patient
Gets his name put on a ballot/
But he had to wear a helmet
To keep his balance
I guess you can say for him it was a challenge
Back to the subject
My footprint in the game sustains your favorite artist
But my foot press the pedal
To sustain this chord
Like an artist
My artistry
Is like the first key
I learn
Just to keep it g
I can only be g
Shout out to the remaining abc
They get honorable mentions
I’m just trying to spit free game
This simple addition
Time less traveled
No gains
Both my nikes
All the same
So much mileage
The next bar I would like to include
Is just do it
But that would be childish
But while I’m styling
Lyrically profiling
I’m giving you knowledge
Virtual degree
This college
I’m saving you a tuition
I spit life
Y’all still a exhibition
That’s exhibiting
Odor from this generation
Which is reviting
But it’s y’all condition
Y’all lack ambition
No mission no drive
The car won’t move
Stalled.
No engine
I’m definition
In all words
And
Preposition
Y’all essays wouldn’t fit in my compositions
How I compose words
And verbs
And make
Metaphors
How I feel for these competitors

This verse is directed to whomever/ if you standing in front of my face then its aimed at you all together/ I can’t take no more of this non-sense / its like hiphop was robbed at gun point/ all they left was a bag of sub conscious/ they left the cash/ I ’m gettin nauseous/ what I’m hearing on these air waves are thoughtless/ just words on a beat that can carry a tune/ tik tokers create a dance / increase your views/ real rap heads lookin at you like come on dude / what you kind of mess you doin?/ man my influence/ will influent / ya mans ruin/ im so fluid I’m so provin/ never loosin/ my Influence will / will influence ya pheens/ jewelry and the cars and the rings/ i respect ya more if ya had a degree/ or if you could understand where I’m coming from to a degree/ Hiphop in a state of emergency/ but y’all lack the sense of urgency/ that’s what so discouraging/ well that won’t stop def / don’t care if I’m the only one left/ ref tucking the whistle / he know I already got one tech/ maybe I can borrow one from 9/ so many bars just fly over head/ more delta/ spirit been canceling / then how can there employees keep there spirit up/ I’m sorry these bars are unraveling / at a speed only where only masters at there craft can imagine it/
I’m from the era of nas
Old hov
Hotstyle
Lupe fiasco
And de la soul
All I know
I’m not driving on that old town road
My heart is my home town
The sounds of Motown
Real Hiphop will never die down
Never lie down
The noise needs to pipe down

Sometimes you gotta remind people/ rewind the wind up toy clown/ we not equals/ you don’t wanna throw down/ fine line to cross when you you at a stop sign safety vest white diamon the aroma holding hands with with an adult hold traffic back/ take that as a sign when yo chick don’t answer back/ you can analyze that like meteorologists/ scanning the skies plotting on the 10 day weather report / reporting whether we wear rain boots or shorts/ man I’ll get to the point in a short while / surely your amaze how I get down/ so many short short storiesI haven’t wrote done/ At times I can be too short when I’m in a convo/ like too short his temper is too short he always blowing the whistle/ as I dribble these thoughts/ that so scary/ like when you ain’t got the down payment for your first house newly constructed in the suburbs next to a white man whose barely of age name roger/ who barely cuts his grass and don’t like to be bother/ wow as I pop my collar / if it don’t make dollars it don’t make sense /unless your first name creflo last name dollar / my dude you need to repent/ like yesterday / what was I saying / oh yeah there’s levels to this /
not from philly/ but I have brotherly affection/ so please allow these brotherly words / to affect you/ I still respect you/ to whomever it concerns / I’m just the usher helping you to your seat as I let this record burn / like on your old iTunes or media player / on your favorite pc / should’ve been a English teacher how I’m giving you these words/ schemes/ double entredes/ metaphors / so many layers/ nba 2k create a player/ hot sauce I put that on everything / with every breath in me / I don’t even see my enemies / even if you were in to me / and purchased all of my projects / in the projects / in a board meeting projecting my project / and analyzers we’re analyzing the process/ wouldn’t even faze me / you would need a juke box or a juice box with new socks / nah that wouldn’t work either/ what I spit Is ether/ my man swade said go for the kill each time/ thats the approach each time I step to the mic/ in a pair Mike’s / memories of Jordan shot over russell/ trust you don’t want this fight / want y’all to realize definition ain’t the one to be messed with / y’all really don’t amaze me / good night
My level/ is top level/ you ground level/
Why revel with inconsistencies with sub level/
My lineage is to profound/
I gotta New York sound
With a old school flow
Delivery so cold
Man you know if you know/
20 plus years working on the craft man/
Producing writing making beats
You see the gap man
The gap is so wide
You can fit a whole band
All 3 members
Member back in December I released the thesis
My music releases
Love positivity
Arrogance
Srpinkled humility
Helps with the humidity
Heat Created from the verse I speak/
Or the the verse I spit
I’m a Mc at my craft
Watch me hammer my sounds
I’m too legit
Real recognize real
Man you see the vibes
Been at this for a long time
Can’t get near me
I ain’t with the go along get along
The get along go along
They find a hot beat
To drop big heat/
Then they find time to tweet
When the chorus
Is whole song/
Man what’s going on
Where we go wrong /
Was it Bet giving us top 10 /
Was it cause
Rap city wasn’t in Brooklyn/
Was because rappers wanted to actors
Like will smith /
Use to be
I’m the rapper he’s the DJ
Now the DJ is the rapper
And there songs on replay
And another
But I’m the best
Y’all stand back
Definition is cookin
No rest/
Onlookers are looking
From the talent they taking/
From the music they making /
Sound has no substance/
Don’t know the type of cake they bakin
It’s a shame /
Cause they ain’t making hits
It’s force fed /
Like horses being fed
In a stable /
y’all fruits and vegetables like Cain
unacceptable/
This lamb I’m cooking is so able
Cause I’m able to do it
Class a Production
Able to prove it
Man this levels to this
Y’all able body/
Tight wearing/
Confused gender /
Is he a guy or a girl
No talent in the world/
Couldn’t write a 16 /
better keep it moving
I’m gone

What I seen/ in this scene/ directed by me/ has me peed off/ like announcing the wrong winner/ while eating your TV dinner/ while reading the close caption on the screen/ some are stuck on over drive / keep in mind/ people driving on 4 wheels/ 4 wheel drive/ don’t understand what the dial adjacent to the steering wheel actually mean /on the eve/of my daughters birth/ a lot of work was put in / hours after hours/ shift after shift/ like the walls of Berlin/ you barely making it/ you barely taking/ but when you were making babies/ y’all acted hastedly/ I don’t blame y’all I blame the cycle/ ya parents parents parents fit together like the glove fit Micheal/ you know what let me flip that bar aint that hard/ I don’t blame y’all I blame the cycle/ ya parents parents parents/ yall fit together like the Glove fit Micheal/ let me paint the picture for you/ man I’m dishing out 11 assist like the glove did the Sixers 02 / on the real let me not hold you/ cause if you a dreamer like me then you got things to do
Man If I think it I thought it/
When I write it applaud it /
Im just a dude alone in a room
With a pen and pad
Dreams is the fuel
That I use
To win when I get in this bag
Im that dude 4x
Nothin wrong with dreaming
Im that dude
Betta than dudes stay schemings
Im that dude
Only scheming I do when I’m scheming strategizing these bars to deliver the truth
man let me rub my hand like birdman before he whispers/ grandiose dreams in our slippers/ in the 80’s/ we were foolish to dream crazy / we could actually own a Mercedes/ with a old lady/ mansion with 4 rooms and a heated pool/ man we used to dream so cool/ snap back to reality/ some us don’t have the time or patience for fantasy/ but as I banta and sip on this Fanta/ fantasizing answers are realizing the effect the intellect will detect/ you think peppery detail couldn’t help your retail/ with out constantly strategizing/ like how to remove a subpar team member from your roster without being choked in the process/ sprewell/ you think the hotel could survive/ without plush rooms nice pillows/ with a nice view / curtains complimenting the wall paper with a nice hue/ suite 407 owned by a really nice dude/ who constantly flies out of space to provide us nice tunes/ not looney/ but will leave us in a doozy/ while looking at full moon/ you dont think Swade dreamed to be one the goats to touch a fader/ probably not/ I hoped / let me do you a favor/ we bout to have a honest conversation like Luke did vador/ Luke I am your father/ my guy your more than a neighbor in the faith/ your my brother we help each other run this race/ AP your my sister / I admire your will and spirit so much on your plate/ but when I hire you please don’t adjust the rate/ alright I’ll delete that bar/ I don’t need the hate/ swade AP and I dream / so we teamed up and it is what it seems it’s ok to dream/

Intro- always blamed for my energy
While ignoring the synergy
Created from the symphony
yup that’s my identity
So many tunes
So many songs
left in me
I write along
Like a ride along
I take my respect with me
First Verse -
My past got so many scars and lines./
Look like a quilt /
Shaky ground
Walking in stilts /
On a foundation
Built on sand
Won’t last
But if it rains
That mix
Concrete
I stand
firm
Purchases from the Asian
Supply chain
Left me permanently bald
I succumbed to those perms/
While the chemical was relaxing /
I was open like paxson
In the corner
Fasting
Not understanding what was happening
Saw a image on a box for 3.99
I thought I had to match it
Man I wish I had a dime
I was 9 cent short
Like shorty dancing
she said you ran out of time
Woe
Now I’m older
Bolder
May weather
I roll my shoulder
Counter my opponents
With the jabs
Misery move over
I’ll see you in October
When I’m
5 months older
Neighbors truck needs a new motor
But since he’s a smoker
Post be a restate broker
Nah
I’ll keep my assistance tucked
Like when Kobe went for 81
Hook -
always blamed for my energy
While ignoring the synergy
Created from the symphony
yup that’s my identity
So many tunes
So many songs
left in me
I write along
Like a ride along
I take my respect
in steps
So step with me
There’s a plan to movements
So Get me
Or get lost
I’m perfectly fine
Surrounded by chaos
2nd verse
We stare at a picture
With our flip up glasses
But the answer will be different
If you ask your classes
Shoot masses
Some eye lids
Are blinded
On the road to Damascus
Guess it’s really different world
We See different things
We have different dreams
What you see is chaos
Nice portrait over taken by moss
What I see is a one hand grab by moss
While you still see chaos
So I Drove downtown
On my down time
Which around time
I found
protestors
Protesting something in the crowd
Looks real
like chaos
But the feeling is brittle like
Crayons
Wish I could be top 5 like Dylan
While making beats in my GarageBand
Fist deep like massage hands
Don’t know what type of mess I was on
O8 I was researching the
gog of Magog
Y’all was going ga ga
Over lady Gaga
Sipping Mai Tai
I was writing the term paper
Maybe the thesis
I was writing rhymes even during the meeting
Preview to me getting deleted
Married for 2 years
Music superseded
Took a beating in 2012
2013 got my healing
I know it seems chaotic
And seems confusing
But my tune will stay melodic
As our heads bump to the music
These bumps on my trail
Bind man reading brail
I use it
Stand back be amused
No crimes here
Not on the news
If it seems like chaos
That might be you
Hook-
Hook -
always blamed for my energy

So many tunes

There’s a plan to movements
So Get me
Or get lost
I’m perfectly fine
Surrounded by chaos
3rd verse
(Daren open)
As the fog disperses
Thousands of verses
Memories emerges
3 am thoughts
Loading up Logic
I couldn’t fight the urges
Emotion submerging
Dishes in water
Mixed with detergent
How ironic
Or should I say
I couldn’t fight the urge
Or discouragement
When the words couldn’t Form
Like baby suffering from mal nourishment
For years I like to
create
All I had was dogs now
Slice told me to wait
Six years later
Man telling me she late
Like a class your suppose to take
Every month cause that’s ya trait
But you skip one period /
Solid line reveal the truth /
Like the school lunch not real on your plate/ on
Not gonna lie
I couldn’t wait to see her
hear it/
Like a heart beat
Or From a drum
Or
The horn from a car
On the streets
you can hum along
Like the chords of this song
Couldn’t wait to go near it
Chaos
Hook -
always blamed for my energy
While ignoring the synergy
Created from the symphony
yup that’s my identity
So many tunes
So many songs
left in me
I write along
Like a ride along
I take my respect
in steps
So step with me
There’s a plan to movements
So Get me
Or get lost
I’m perfectly fine
Surrounded by chaos
Daren close
