Get Down!

Nobody move and nobody get obliterated
I'm here for the bright lights like when you enter Vegas
And nah I aint never been
But Google can enhance imaginations
Yet yall look the same you could be neighbors
That didn't know there's possibly a chance that you're related
All them thoughts you've got left over yea you can save em
And all the h*** yall talkin about wanting relations
Just to fill their Father's seat at the dinner table
I'm not here for your admiration
I'm here to make you tally up the time you're wasting trying to be a star
Catch me in the bars
Staring at the screen writing lines in my head that pose like Draymond Green
I had to learn this game has no roles or teams
The only way to make it past the local scene is if the flow creates dopamine
I hope you got the message
Consider this last bullet a part of your severance

From Willingboro to Highland Square
I been a very good sport haven't I this year
I'm having a heaven sized career
Slightly hesitant of putting sharpies under brassiere's
I sign (on) & keep it moving
Unclutter ya life and it gets less confusing
My (girl) coming (home now)
Then we gon walk to the movies
She think it's sold out & I tell her we good you gotta..
The country's up in flames we just keep making fire
I try to keep the wins fairly quiet tho it's mainly
I know the last thing you needs another rapper bragging that his chick is badder and they're doing way better than..
My jackets from Japan I got the link for ya
Next time you see me I might bring back some Diadora's
I been putting way more focus in appearance
The weight of the words are
Live inside of filters but we speaking without one
I can tell you ain't been punched in the mouth much but
For your sake I would think about the future
You don't think these tweets really disappear do ya?
Identities online the new currency
Telling me I got too many albums I tell em look at Curren$y
Burning out is is never gonna worry me
The stars write these raps I just deliver em vertically
I rep the city wherever I'm at
We dropped the You! video before the summer
If you ain't signed they saying you on the come up
Don't tell me where I'm tryna go keep strictly
Homie I'm (on) I ain't gotta fake flex
I will be taking 100 bars to Flex tho
Scratch it off the bucket list
You don't know who you fuckin wit
Creative servant till I'm dead &
I'm re-design how the media do news
Inspirational rooms with quotes all on the walls
And we gon build an infrastructure like Europe
That treats artists better so that we can work better
If Kanye is Walt Disney I'm Floyd Norman
I made it out The Jungle Book into the
So come
The Torres One project in full effect
This world is done we on to the next so

You Should!

You should already know its time to mobilize
Whether walking or motorized voices loud shoulders high
A bougie board in the water cannot control the tide
And the bitch can't kill it if you control the vibe
I took notes and learned how to get em notorized
Never be the guy that knows the guy be the guy
I'm showing up when I'm ready to buy
Still chasin Ready to Die & yea I might be
Somewhere along the way I got caught in the world wind
While they professing theories of the worlds end
Rappers going for dap and catch the Rock Bottom
Turn the video off I know the cops shot em
I'm tired of your jokes and false hope and Fall clothes
500 for a sweater with holes in it so I can look like I didn't try
Who would've thought back then our self-esteem was actually high
Your uninformed political views
Blaming the media for issues that started when our Dad's was gone
So when you grow up and do something fucked up
We should already see the signs in cloud formations in the sky
God ain't coming He's been inside you the whole time
A nose job won't protect you from a nosedive
Your spirit tryna shed ya baggage let it downsize
We're being spoon fed drama with the plane noise
Whole diet turned soy now I've gotta new pain in my deltoid
Over the counter medication no insurance supposed to make it
But somewhere inside the black and white spiral
A glimmer of hope just went viral
Inspirational quotes put with a montage of my idol
Next to vid of a black man that was titled
I'm tired of these apps that all do the same shit
Tired of hearing people say engagement
That's based in nothing that has to do people actually engaging
We just throwing voices in the matrix
You should think about ya reputation online
Talk to people like you would when you outside
If somebody catch you with the over hand right they'll be like
My God I gotta be one of the illest ones alive
At giving a glimpse of how we all should feel inside
Living all alone but surprised that I Phyllis Hy
Man I just hope when I go that somebody cry/Beats karate chopped/Rhymes the sound that you hear when a body drop
From 20 stories that you heard about an artist and the deal that they prolly got
Give our lives to an art that can possibly flop
But some of us get a chance to make it outta the world wind
Industry crying broke and the budget thin
Got you chasing the trends to have a hot week
2nd album comes around and they lookin like...
I think it's all a hoax/Independence is sold
The biggest fuckin culture on the globe
And we let some outsiders take a bulk of the control
And sell the vision back without the box or the remote
Bunch of folks tryna network without the code
Follow me on IG bro I'll hit you back when I charge my phone
I Samsung in they face and tell em no

Let Me Down Easy!

Tell you really what's going on
Feelings of falling off but holding on for dear life
Like I wrote a letter to it professing all of my short comings
I've had my share but nothing Columbus Short
No comparisons of struggle just an observation
I never took solace in violence on the streets that raised me
I never put stock in people that promise to pay me
I catch myself staring at my phone a lot lately hoping that you
Down like I thought you would eventually
I'm well aware of what's in-store for me
I'll leave the door open so you keep taking more of me
As you slowly chase your way back to your origin
Cause it's easier to fill the void
Without addressing all the noise
If I'm honest I saw it all before it
Came to fruition
Sort of a premonition
Uncontrollable hustlers ambition
Gotta drawer full of some drive's from Sandisk
At this point I wonder what I'm capable of
I look up to my idols
But I don't wanna meet em
It's cool till you grow up and they know that you can beat em
They jack ya style just to sell a couple songs
You noticed they was washed all along Dear Mama why you
See the good in folks
I'm hoping that you just absent minded
Not taking advantage of my kindness
You don't know where I come from
I've got favors to call if we really is on one
Just get back to the music
I'm praying everyday there's a reason that I do this
If I'm just another kid chasing false dreams
I'm asking that the Lord gives me strength right before he bout to

Why do we scream and shout?
What is we talking bout?
Why do we fuss and fight?
What we gon say tonight?
Tonight I thought about telling you how I really feel
Without considering the repercussions
Spirit beat like the African percussionist
In a grade school when they lied about our heritage
Supposedly I'm outspoken like Popovich
More or less it's my opinion aint the populace
I'm more concerned with the babies out in Flint
Instead It's tweets on CNN like
Why do we scream and shout?
What is we talkin bout?
Why do we fuss and fight?
What we gon say tonight?
What we talking bout real shit or we talkin bout rhymes
You talkin millions of voices that's online
Giving data for free to the companies tracking every single sound
I liked the wrong pic & my girl ain't around
Now my ads promoting single women in my town
It's alot of single moms apparently wanting b****
It's alot of people round here that wish I wasn't
And Id never know until it's coming
Gotta journalist mind like Rocket in the City of God
Standing between a battle I'm just tryna get the shot
Why do we scream and shout?
What is we talkin bout?
Why do we fuss and fight?
What we gon say tonight?
Visions, Visions

The spirit of Eunice Waymond in Venezuela
Travel the world inspire the kid's to keep they head up
No tolerance of disrespect towards our young Corettas
You might not understand our slang but don't you dare correct us
My culture started in the streets of the Bronx
And traveled to every radio in motion or parked
I used to beat box on the picnic tables out in the park
Wrote rhymes for my cousins for the battles would start
Early on all my heroes that I had were
Langston Hughes probably led me to the pad
I would write my thoughts down when the world turned
Back when Michael Jackson wrote
But it did matter
None of those parents had kids splattered
Or environments that would encourage us to be combative
What I idolized changed with intuition
And usually the research would always lead me back to a
Cant believe I was afraid to be
It had to be
I ain't have a pair of Jordan's they would tell me I aint
It never bothered me too much at the time
Until I uncovered the underlying façade
There's level to this skin color of mine
If you look like me, I could never be enough to get by
But if we differ then I'm always too much to survive
Uh...You Know I care like Duke Pearson on HoneyBuns
My art is equal in content never in funds
Holbrook is Art Blakey on the drums
As he watches the direction he created to become
Channel a network you can't tap into
Imma start a religion & I'm tryna recruit
God coming back soon in a pin stripe suit
Driving a 57 Bentley coupe
And she's only taking

I Really Like!

Things aint like they used to be
It's all better
Put the bubble in between the lines it's all level
Gotta try and elevate your mind when the dust settles
You didn't I'm convinced that's why your house smells
Like you been way too shut in
All of a sudden
My patience reached level 20 somethin
I'll work wit ya
Spit a verse wit ya
Split the tab wit ya
Watch ya team lose a game and get mad wit ya
Ya loss is my loss so I feel for ya
Sometimes I'm better at showing you how I feel for ya
We was in love with the idea of marriage
And both took it seriously with who we met after we broke up
Like a truck with no holes I dodge bullets
She took off all her clothes I know I shouldn't
But the thrill got me
That's what a dude say when you know he lying
It's not the time to try and live in a half back toss it's just
Things aint like I remember
It's easy to get past
If I had a chance to go back I might like
Let's take it back yea
No cap when I'm discussing
That I need 100 thousand on my next budget
Baby you gotta love it/I dream big and talk subtle
Cause the loudest mouth you hear in the room is prolly bluffin
I really like what I discovered when I use the universe like cell coverage
I call out whatever I want & manifest every blessing
They really like, Uh They really like the message
When Monica was smashing fun Bobby on the terrace
Me and my friends plotted like kids out Laderra
Its an Odd Future looming but its looking like its necessary
No need to creep unless your T-Boz and Chili
It's beyond affiliation it's more a problem with the soil underneath our nation
I'm keeping my eyes peeled on possibilities and direction
Sorry that you tagged me in your record with 86 other ppl and I forgot to check it
Planning more trips outta the country than rednecks
Ever since I got a lil taste of a pub check
You'd think I wanna bartend
Holbrook don't get me started
They don't want no parts of this put em backstage
Looking like a young Marvin Gaye minus the allegations
We all hustle and got situations
Celebrate what you like and quit hating
