Something Fly

Every vision means something
I look where nothing is or ever was and see something
May seem like all but past and future seems sudden
But embrace the present or you’re always in between something
Cut the make believe something
All that talking shish you might have to listerine something
You ain’t major league something
If all you say is made up kid you maybeline something
Read something
Instead of trying to be on the cover of teen something
Dream and achieve something
To be free
Keep it fresh by any means
Freeze something
Ask and receive something
Get rid of all the bottles and cans and redeem something
Your lover want a sweet nothing
But you ain’t on the scene you always tryna stream something
Or rollin sticky green something
Yo how you ever gonna glean something ?
Keep it focused why you always fleeing something?
Smoking or vaping some type of nicotine something
Me i’m not trying to leave something
I’m trying to walk on the seas I’m trying to perceive something
Trying to be something
Gunning for the A+, not B something
Or C, D something
My CDs something
And wax something
Ain’t that something

Keep That Same Energy

Heavy bars, never a light sentence
Behind bars for a life sentence
I ain’t going for the hype
Think I’m goin for a hike
I’ll be gone for hot second
I catch wreck as you might reckon
I bend rules but I’m not Beckham
I’m obsessed til the next session
You could tell by my expression
If I ain’t into you there’s no exception
I’ll tell an interviewer next question
That way I have to deal with less tension
More time for listening to George Benson
I throw a smile that is no deception
The extra mile an unknown direction
And got a style of my own invention
THE INTERNET BEEN ACTING REAL TIGHT
WHEN YOU RUN INTO THAT IN REAL LIFE
LET'S KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY
THE INTERNET BEEN ACTING REAL THURL
SO WHEN I SEE YOU IN THE REAL WORLD
LET'S KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY
Wild nice
Avocado and wild rice
Heavy weigh the crown right?
Guess there’s no gravity in crown heights
I wrote this in the key of paradise
So you could spread it via satellite
People said I didn’t have the right
But I was down to make the sacrifice
I have a sound insight
All based on the sounds and sights
And I don’t buy into the Stars and Stripes
I’m too busy calling balls and strikes
Where all you get is weekends and nights
Depending on the weather it be timbs and nikes
It is way more scarier than Vincent Price
Yikes
THE INTERNET BEEN ACTING REAL TIGHT
WHEN YOU RUN INTO THAT IN REAL LIFE
LET'S KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY
THE INTERNET BEEN ACTING REAL THURL
SO WHEN I SEE YOU IN THE REAL WORLD
LET'S KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY
I peep for misdirection and diversion
I’m not convinced with the official version
It’s really hampering my extroversion
My oil’s extra virgin
People tell me I’m a brand like I was some detergent
I have a strong aversion
Instead of staring into space and cursing
I’d rather tell you to your face in person
So when the situation worsen
Don’t say I didn’t put a word in
Don’t say I didn’t give a warning
Or lecture on the higher learning
But lately tho the tides are turning
Don’t hate me just ‘cause I’m determined
Okay I think it’s time to turn in
Goodnight
THE INTERNET BEEN ACTING REAL TIGHT
WHEN YOU RUN INTO THAT IN REAL LIFE
LET'S KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY
THE INTERNET BEEN ACTING REAL THURL
SO WHEN I SEE YOU IN THE REAL WORLD
LET'S KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY

Stand Up
02:48

Ain't one to beg
I ain't one to crawl
Ain't one of them
I ain't one of y'all
So many flames i done come across
Games that i won and lost
God's favorite son in law
I stayed the course at whatever cost
I paid it all with my credit card
Dough I'ma cough up when i'm a corpse
I'll pay it off when i'm dead and gone
One long prayer till hell freeze
6'5", been a long player before LPs
Rooted in my essence is a preference to self teach
Movement in my presence is what's best for your well being
True to god Apollo i would follow LL beefs
Moving wit a herd who never heard of LL Bean
Most of us was tighter than Carlito and Lalin
Nah mean
But if I ain't work I'da never earned
And if I ain't ask I'da never learned
Settled for worse than what I was worth
It never worked tho in other words
IF YOU DON'T STAND UP THEY'LL NEVER STOP
I'm like the rain and the sun combined
I don't complain i just don't comply
Until the day that they open fire
Thank you for pointing out my open fly
I'd rather train than to mope and whine
Not that I'd train for the cobra kai
But love the surge through my open mind
More than a bird love the open sky
Swinging like the 2018 Mack the Knife
Welcome to the 2018 facts of life
Everything's a gamble you can't travel back in time
No rewinding, don't get blinded by the flashing lights
Took it to a hundred fathoms for the fans delight
Greatest of collaborations I could mastermind
Words by Boy Sand, music by the hands of time
Call it Sands of Time
But if I ain't reach I could never grab
And if I ain't take I'da never had
I hit the mat for the rubber match
Ready to snap like a rubber band
IF YOU DON'T STAND UP THEY'LL NEVER STOP
I chased the rainbow like i been told
I smell the pot but where's the pot of gold
I went to Vegas it was a joke
Whatever hand i would never fold
See I was blessed wit a lotta rope
I got to roam till II found my role
Now I'm on a roll

Stepped into the Micky D's and well, ordered
Well water
I smile at family videos recorded on a clunky heavy camcorder
That captured the involuntarily manslaughter
We used to love each other different
Well more like used to love each other, isn't it?
Aside from analyzing being a twin
I fantasize about different chicks i see at the gym
Now you could go on Spotify and listen to Prince
At least that's what scientists are teaching to chimps
Don't ask me why i'm always flipping the script
I'm only trying to prove I exist
My life is split up into blessings and distractions
I learn most of my lessons from infractions
Now everything is smoother since my girl is sugaring instead of waxing
All my decisions are addition or subtraction
My hood is famous for the multitude of accents
Charlie Villanueva and Speedy Claxton
AND OTHER FOLKS YOU MIGHT HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT
BUT IF YOU GOOGLE YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT
YOU MIGHT NOT GET IT IF YOU WEREN'T AROUND
SOME INFO BETTER SPREAD BY WORD OF MOUTH
WHY MY FLAME IS NEVER BURNING OUT
HERE'S HOW IT'S TURNING OUT
I followed the muppets because of Gonzo
I follow the Lakers because of Lonzo
Surfing the cosmos
Counting minutes in convos
Sucking filling outta Combos
And off to glimpse what only God knows
Adios
Music industry dealing like the feeling of your tongue against a nine volt
Facing firing squad without a blindfold
Got emojis from my godfolks
Couldn't see em 'cause I don't have a iPhone
Like, "it's been forever since we even knew him
Let's send him some rectangles wit x's thru em"
Whatever
Thought that counts
Pigeons never fly south
Sharks don't never lie down
See even better in the dark
My hood was famous for the gas tanks before the park
Queens Center and the McDowell's golden arcs
AND OTHER FOLKS YOU MIGHT HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT
BUT IF YOU GOOGLE YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT
YOU MIGHT NOT GET IT IF YOU WEREN'T AROUND
SOME INFO BETTER SPREAD BY WORD OF MOUTH
WHY MY FLAME IS NEVER BURNING OUT
HERE'S HOW IT'S TURNING OUT

Feels So Good To Cry
03:14
|

I’m not gonna lie
But since we said goodbye
There’s been a lot to climb
It’s felt so good to cry
I’m not gonna front
Like this is what I want
But this what I’ve done
I’m not gonna fake
Like it was a mistake
But sometimes I need a break
Sometimes I need to break
I’m not gonna perpetrate
I will weep
When I feel weak
It feels sweet
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO CRY
I can’t help it
When I start to feel helpless
I want to send this record to you
But I know that that’s selfish
I really want to send this record to you
I really want for you to hear this
But that’s careless
I had enough of that
But I’ll play it right away without delay of any measure should I ever get the chance to double back
But then you’d wonder why
I never wandered by
As if I could decide
It feels so good to cry
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO CRY
Like being caught up in a bind
Taken for a ride
Like bad and good combined
It feels so good to cry
Just in case you thought I wasn’t tryin
Maybe another place another time

Epiphany

Catch me walking around without a mask
And without no gloves
And without no fear
And without a grudge
And without a plan
And without a map
And without new this
And without new that
And without obeying
Goes without, saying
And without a shave
A without no shame
And without a care
And without no clowns
And without a scowl
And without a frown
I’m without the whole thing
Some people actually think I need scolding
As if my behavior is irresponsible
I think to myself how is that possible
Because I’m cool as Fonzi
I’m as calm as Gandhi
I’m as kind as your auntie
But then it dawned upon me
Wait
THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE SWAG
THEY’RE ALL JUST ANGRY THAT THEY DON’T HAVE SWAG
OHHHHHHHHHHH
I could tell that they talk about my age even though they never say it to my face
And I could tell that they talk about my hair even tho they never say it to my face
I’ve heard that they talk about my name even though they never say it to my face
I used to try to figure out what it would take
To get them to like me
Instead they wanted to spite me
I don’t take it personally
I talk to them politely
Confrontation is very unlike me
Still the chance of agreement is unlikely
But what is the cause?
I’m not breaking any universal laws
Busy thinking how’d it come to this?
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks
THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE SWAG
THEY’RE ALL JUST ANGRY THAT THEY DON’T HAVE SWAG
OHHHHHHHHHHH
These people do not have swag
So they’re just maaaaaaad
These people do not have swag
So they’re just sadddddddd
These people do not have style
So they can’t smileeeeee
These people do not have flavorrrrrrr
So they’re haters
