Questions. A man finds himself in a place where he resembles more than a complexion. He redefines the idea of leaving this place but the option of survival plays part in the action to make a home. He acknowledges his past, his answers for the future, and they don’t balance. He satisfies his daily assumption but worries when the day ends and the sun turns down. Take these first songs as his confessions. If you can’t see how he forms his reality, just accept it. Rejection now is your own reaction. Manipulating the truth is something I don’t. And I never wanna be a simple man or just another nigga. May you take a trip down my vision I’m walking track miles on my nerve synapse Signed up for pain game on my own decision Mama I made it out of trouble Having breakfast with my fellas Not a dirt on my shovel I’m a rebel, I’m a die flippin fingers under six feet level Hell I’ll tell the devil to get off My back is crooked I’m feeling my hand is hunted The weight of my breath is smothering Catering the evil of lucy I wonder if I’ll ever make it Will I survive, will I be embracive? Creative this native, a land that’s full of stories But none of them made a second or minute of glory I live within my right, sitting tight as the story’s unfolding Hanging up above is a stormy cloud holding Venom in it’s cold blood, pressure in it’s holster Messing with my soul, dolled-up and getting bolder Man I’m in trouble Drowning to the bottom of the bottle Looking for the answers in the rubble Getting really hard for me to hustle Cos I find that trouble now Cos I find that Money is the issue trying to satisfy desire Hand you a tissue if issue do backfire Can’t be dived, the cost of living is higher Cos many deserted their dreams of looking for a buyer Truth loose I always choose a size bigger Little nigga look at giant flippin finger So I figured that my life is on a buggin Always talkin, many walkin suicidal on the margin Hand flippin what I’m holding Fallen facts, the skinny nigga poured his thoughts and past Past the bats, the rats, cats that stank the last task The mask, the cast, they act, they fake, they stabbed the back Man I’m in trouble Drowning to the bottom of the bottle Looking for the answers in the rubble Getting really hard for me to hustle Could it be a vision wishing I could make the pain go away On a mission to provide, yet I hide, play it safe Sit and wait until the storm blows over Pile up the violence til we get a little closer Wonder who will blow first Will it be the man who bottles potions Or the motion moving slower Chewing theories til we’re sober This problem’s got a quota This light is like a might spike Strong as it illuminates the right fight Killing darkness on its way Cover up my deepest doubts Just your luck my secret’s out A trick called freedom feeding purple clouds As the rain gains, fame fades Drama died when the same name played Do I drown in all this deep I’m bleeding now Trouble and his cousin fear they got me down If there’s any other way to get around Let’s keep the love we’ve found Man I’m in trouble Drowning to the bottom of the bottle Mama I made it out of trouble

I’m trying to be real, I’m fading I’m trying to be real, I’m failing Getting hard to see the faces I’m high I think I’ll be in a spaceship I’m high now I fucked them notes I alone just hit that bong Don’t know why it took me long Find these words to write this song Captagon and gabica With a white girl smelling like lavender I’m lost in the pussy like scavenger Can’t be in the open, I’m an animal It’s logical when a bag of weed means tramadol Shot to the Henessy means the toilet flow Someone come and get me I’m feelin it all I paid all my money honey, man I gotta keep hope Honey, I can’t let it out Honey, I paid all my money Honey, I can’t let it out Honey, I paid all my money I paid all my money Start of a mission I realise Live in the kitchen, and track on the side See a vision can’t reach for the sight Parasite eat the back of my eye Why you wanna hear me tell you all about my dark life? Coming in the city you can never last the whole night Everybody smoke it, feelin just alright Paid the judge for a sixth month on my own time In the city niggas looking for ending Numb your bodies, all the niggas pretending Smoking heavy as I’m looking for healing Everytime time they judge me for no fucking reason Evidently I can never image happy ending Contemplating ever though so I never comprehend it Honey, I can’t let it out Honey, I paid all my money Honey, I can’t let it out Honey, I paid all my money I wasted my life, I pooled my thoughts, I spilled my emotions. This is fucked. Someone please call on my man, take this away from me. I took such. What I can’t name, I buried it deep inside my secrets. I kept remembering all these people that said they love us when they don’t. Do you remember standing strong as a man but if you take one more sip, you take two steps and you cash in all your receipts on your enemies. But who am I kidding man. You started this. You should start with the fuckin mirror man. Look at it. Clean it cos you can see fuckin clearer man. Why you gotta take so much? Plus you’re drinking with lust. I know your secrets, you’ll drown and your fuckin dirty.

Lately I’ve been living out so restless Living like I’m waiting on confession If I don’t know where I go Let it be, I eat, I know Let my thoughts just hold you close Let these words just burn alone Struggle life of misery commitment Life of hustling an early beginning Eating money still my tummy it feel it I don’t talk a lot but I don’t listen Adolescence got me learn my lesson Got me thinking Hard knock life need attention Focus much I’m in addiction No way but time is all I have Making money got me going places Different places I don’t wanna go Change the space around me when I doubt it Just to feel that time is slow Lately I’ve been living out so restless Living like I’m waiting on confession If I don’t know where I go Let it be, I eat, I know Let my thoughts just hold you close Let these words just burn alone See I’m tired of holding these words If I wanna say fuck it, I’ll let it be heard If I hurt your feelings put your hands to the ceiling Feel the fire, I admire those who admit they’re liars Prior goal that I reach to the heavens If I fall from the top I ain’t selling This talent is given, I know my limits Burden this bridges I’ll burn right in it I know down everything I know what life could bring To get you all to sing With this music I do sing Smoking, drinking, oh my God I’m restless Smoking, drinking, all the day I’m fatter Trying to keep yourself away, I’m reckless Hanging on the line like a heavy gold necklace

Mary won’t you come to me Grace me with your company Every time I draw a beat I swear it feels so comforting Only takes a second before the soul sees a presence In your absence all I want to see, start a blessing Found away from my soul, your smile used to days Taking over all of my mind, it’s taking ways Patiently waiting I’m in the misty zone Optimistic right before the sun is gone For you darling I will stand a thunderstorm Fighting urges I’ll be holding all alone Mary won’t you come to me Grace me with your company Every time I draw a beat I swear it feels so comforting Mary won’t you come to me Grace me with your company Every time I pour a drink Something keeps me wondering Where you at girl, you been away Is it cos all of the things that I said Popping chemies just to silence my pain Killing all these rappers, at least you know they ain’t dying in vein Oh no, they hate the player, please hate the game I swear, when she’s away things ain’t the same Ain’t no cough I drink the syrup anyway Nigga from the O’s turning heavyweight Got the vision like I’m Ernest Hemingway There’s too much spice in my soda But I put 2-4-9 on my shoulder It’s true, no lie if I told ya I do it for you and the O-town Mary won’t you come to me Grace me with your company Every time I draw a beat I swear it feels so comforting We’re always so cool when the mood is I only feel blue once the moon is Remedy endlessly next to me Mary be she be the death of me sure is Fed’ll be looking my dealers Starting to feeling that fever Speed dial I’m calling roTation In progress I’m smoking for purpose of healing Mary just takes me to see this Mary just takes me to see things Mary just making me feel it Mary just making me want you Mary won’t you come Grace me with your company Everytime
