What do you do when you've done it all Not to sound vain but if you listen while I attempt to charge This track with mad bars that explains my current predicament Your attention is worth more than a dealership Of nice cars with keys at my disposal Or pretty broads with mouths painted the color of roses I’m supposing That’s what it bowls down to someday But embers engulf my timbers like flames I can’t sit still But why would I anyway looking back at the tracks the way I came The monuments and towers all inscribed with my name Legendary That girl that spits swirls of color They say I favor lady Lauryn I say she is my mother And Pac my father or maybe it was Jay yo I can’t say Whatever it is I am they pointed the way You utter my name the choir they sang But I will never be King I will never be King I will never be King I will never be King My voice sounds heavy from all the mileage I’m carrying My bones brittle breaking my hands tremor they shaking man What happened to the days of yore cold to the core The winter feels like hell it’s eating my skin raw My Lord I’m sitting on this mountain top The semblance sending me scriptures in the dead of dark I should just sit right here and count my blessings I’ve conquered more than most men have in this equation But still there’s a part of me that’s a little ill That wants to burn their castles pillage their towns Send down a plague that would wipe them from the face of mother earth In the form of these consonants and verbs I write them With finesse I’m the best I invite them To become more than a song entice them To rise up from the pages we’ll fight them I will but still I’ll never be king I will never be King I will never be King I will never be King I will never be King Even if I fire from my orifice words so metamorphic Ye couldn’t afford them nobody’s that important Vivid description of pictures giving you visions of wizards Mythically waving my wand conjuring sacred Inscriptions from Egyptians Palm out hand extended Beyond the land of living Speaking with such conviction that time seized to exists And the planets began to shift And the day became the dark And the dark became the wind And the wind became invisible loved ones once again still I could never be King I would never be King I will never be Let the choir sing Yo soy uno de los grandes Pero porque soy mujer Nadie sabe mi nombre Nunca sera rey

I’ve been feeling kind of empty lately The road is lonely and I’m running low on inspiration Ain’t had a lady in a year they never understand The kind of lifestyle I’m living to be who I am A curse and a blessing Because some of us are chosen and hoping it blows over God knows that we need Hova these rappers they need Foldger (wake up) I’m overdue for a parachute descendant of Montague I’ve been beasting for years homie I’m not one of you (hold up) Here comes the sun little darling I am a starling it’s calling me now Hardly of quality pal if you bow We ain’t the same the vain lost in fame And you’re just trying to keep up with them struggling to maintain What do you do when your friends become few And load a new clip and turn the gun on you You still 100 proof I see the weak in you you’re like a vegetable And now we’re eating you chewing on your mandible like cannibals All my life All my life All my life I’ve been rolling On my life On my life On my life I’ve been chosen For tonight For tonight Shorty for tonight yo we coasting on Yead we’re coasting on We’re coasting on Our dreams and our achievements We’re celebrating ‘cause we here now For everybody that ain’t here now God willing next year now We’re be centuries away from here Every day is a Halleluiah We sock it you ya Another day another dollar if you keep it moving I ain’t slept a full night since last May And my schedule makes it hard to keep the marks on the days The days become the weeks And the weeks become the months And now it’s been six months and I ain’t called home once From my point of view I’m feeling overdue But if my time table mattered than I’d be on rendezvous cheifin On beaches with Lamborghinis And letter seat in-between me And the ground would never see me Cause it hurts when you beaming and you fall And everybody’s watching and then you become the topic Aint shit you can do to stop it but watch it Blow over like candle holders lay lower than lawnmowers Until the time When you’re shinning so bright that you can’t hide And the vibe is just right and the haters can’t fight it because it’s your time All my life All my life All my life I’ve been rolling On my life On my life On my life I’ve been chosen For tonight For tonight Shorty for tonight yo we coasting on Yead we’re coasting on We’re coasting on Our dreams and our achievements We celebrating ‘cause we here now For everybody that ain’t here now God willing next year now We’re be centuries away from here We celebrating ‘cause we here now For everybody that ain’t here now God willing next year now We’re be centuries away from here It’s a celebration…. bitches

Chari Boom Brap put the rap in the boom bap Best rapper alive the only thing I’m aiming at These female rappers ain’t touching my caliber My podium Larmar Odium to these short stackers The one time I’ll acknowledge you honest boo It hurts to look down at you when I’m beaming through The milestones set by these deftoned rappers Can you make a track without talking bout trapping Or fashion or cashin’ in for a new Aston Hoping the autotune will help you sneak one past them Easy I can do what you do believe me The next best thing since Kendrick began breathing Life into what I am trying to do A matter of timing true talent don’t mind the crew We in here Scratch that yo we been here Get your feet off my table put down my silverware we eating Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Spitfire spitting fire at men for hire who gon’ Stop this riot no chains and a new Mariah come on’ Boil it down to the particles yall are wack and they want More and you’re lacking you lackey that’s why I’m on My brother’s a murderer father a hustler mother a saint No pills not beef no molly no drank Part killer part dealer part whatever you aint I go boom with these cannon balls laughing while your castle fall Now you up all night nervous Choking down Adderall chillin in churches Praying to the all mighty reciting the verses Like dear God don’t let this dope bitch murk us Reincarnated carnage go your career wasted Game over like Hova I’m undefeated basing At home plate with your date and she giving me face with Ya Grandmama like I told that boy he was basic Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Beasting on beats so beastly My sneaker bottoms are screeching Glitter flying from bleachers of cheerleaders and preachers Madam speaker speaking mad meters the heaters Make the garbage feeders wish that I had gone to Venus But I'm right here The second coming I'm gunning on anyone of ya Humming like church hymnals spitting that ill subliminal Sitting in dark rooms with nothing but microphones These syllables don't condone me sitting my ass at home I'm on And there aint nothing you can do about it But lay it down take these and never speak about it This voodoo ain't what you think it is but then again I'm not who you think I am my patience paper thin For these paper men and their paper kin This is the beginning of end of the paper trend My paper pen worth more that your paper when nobody's listening Tell me who getting the paper then Boom Brap Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy Voodoo I can do what you do easy believe me I can do what you easy

Living for the city Where the girls are pretty and the boys don’t give a damn Oh what a privilege to be one of many And no one gives a fuck who I am This is the good life Oh really A bottle of champagne paired up with a philly Roll tight with some shit that’ll make you silly You don’t give a fuck go dumb in the club Mad love in the club huh Oh really You think that make up somehow will make you pretty And that bag that you carrying is really Fendi You never buy drinks All the dudes know your name and you’re thirsting for fame huh Well let’s toast to the good life What for if you can’t afford to be here tonight All your cards maxed out but you party hard Addicted to you image posted in mirrors like Oh God Thank you for making me this beautiful From the top of my head down to my cuticles Empty souls like ghost ships in the night Living in darkness but longing for the lime light Living for the city Where the girls are pretty and the boys don’t give a damn Oh what a privilege to be one of many And no one gives a fuck who I am This is the good life Oh really You got mad racks and they stacked to the ceiling Every girl around you is ready and they willing And everybody know so you only live once though The motto right yolo Oh really You only wear Jordan’s gotta stay looking trendy A pair of glasses but your vision 20 20 Like watching TV they make it so easy You’re swimming in your money yeah yo you boast about the good life Taking pictures with your middle finger upright Spend your days chasing after Joneses Fast cars fame money drugs you’re jonesing I’m sure I’ll die before I understand why People have such a hard time living their own lives So I guess you’ll fake it till you make though What happens if you never make it yo Oh really You got it on lock and you running your city Just bought a new car dashboard 150 Yeah you in the bar you’re buying the whole bar Then you jump in your car Oh really Did a little blow with a girl named Cindy She in the backseat with her best friend Lizzy Faced down feeling a little dizzy eyes getting sleepy All you wanted was the good life Sold your soul for some blow and then you took a life Crashed a car on the road you never paid for You momma cosigned on it after she got her divorce Sirens approaching in the distance Eyes open and the world looks shifted You’re still just another face in the crowd The only difference is they all know your name now Living for the city Where the girls are pretty and the boys don’t give a damn Oh what a privilege to be one of many And no one gives a fuck who I am This is the good life

From the jump off We planned to get lost in time Swerve through lines Light up and toke some dimes Eyes wide shut and now we cooly high Looking at your soul with my middle eye And get lifted You wit it Tap in to your chakras and feel it We vibin like vibe to the source new edition Envisioning you on my port to infinite Long as I got you know that I’m winning I stay dreaming of grammys and Lincolns Stacked to the ceiling from writing my feelings I roll dolo no room for no hoes But I grow when I’m next to you so I post Up and give space to the thought of us coasting Anywhere we want I got bread so we loafing Watching it pass by with just you at my side We live and in full effect one hundred til we die Oooo I’m giving you all All my loving all my time all my hugging You are so damn sexy Oooo now baby can’t let you get too far You’re not perfect but damn you’re worth it got me on top of the world You are you are You are you are you are My everything Your sex appeal worth a half a mill Tryna get to the bottom of how you really feel Speak first finish last and I ain’t said a word She don’t speak about it she just go to work And when her girls ask she say she aint into me My enemies throwin shade but she so hard to reach She queen to me when I’m lost she sing to me We blow vap chase fate and then we fall asleep I never had it better She says never say never Her inhibitions got me drifting we shinning together When the vibes right you gleam in the limelight Rotating around my spaceship she my type We do fight but only for the happy ending We blow smoke and then we lay and laugh Watching the stars while we beaming past She aint even gotta ask Oooo I’m giving you all All my loving all my time all my hugging You are so damn sexy Oooo now baby can’t let you get too far You’re not perfect but damn you’re worth it got me on top of the world You are you are You are you are you are My everything

It’ will eat you alive Right down to the very core of your existence melting through your rotting flesh until it reaches your soul This machine rides on wheels towering above sky scrapers The nuts and screws and levers all intricately fitting together creating the dream we believe to be real Real, remember when everybody kept it Like secrets told between forbidden lovers whispered between parted covers We once knew what it felt like to live really Beyond the confines of tangible and logical which are both illusions taught to us before we knew what truth was I hear the wails of my ancestors in my sleep They mourn for us for the freedoms and lives and loved ones that they gave up Just so that we could stand up without fear of being strung up Turn up for what, when it drowns out the faint sound of the dying heartbeat of our nation Can’t you see? The machine will always exist and its sole purpose is to control your essence but the difference between now and then is that now You have a choice You can choose what you will consume become and do with your life It feels like slow motion don’t it Knees locked wrists folded Hold tight yo it’ll blow over Patience is a virtue and we ain’t getting older We forever young toting forever guns Spitting bullets shaped like vowels Owls perched on nouns and equations God bless the nation that burns flags with hatred Of self-loathing degrading symphonic rain making Drippin down our brow of pain staking love making Hallelujah to the most high because I’ve seen Satin Eyes vacant with time wasting Feet loaded with hope chasing We don’t say no baby just hold to what’s sacred Revolt from what’s basic Like psalms to revelations it true if I say it Shine through we motivated What else but empty pages with moves They never made but we do what we must Because shit all we ever had was us Things ain’t never what they seem Darkness always follows me But I know there’s something they can’t see And I carry it deep like my heartbeat Yosh: Ladies and Gentleman This is Flight 175 but I’m staying alive As I strive to fly the most high By the seat of my pants Adapt to any circumstance any problem I solve them Tell me what you feeling Paint agony Disaster suffering struggling and apathy Go ahead and medicate Better get your ducks straight Everybody line up for fucks sakes Feel the earth shake It’s an earthquake Earth escape to outer space I’m on my death star Death to the stars teaching our you to twerk and drive expensive cars Is this who we are Twerk Miley Miley Twerk Miley Miley Miley Twerk It’s not enough to just work hard strive to be a good father Time for your daughter They try and take that away too So fuck what you knew Things ain’t never what they seem Darkness always follows me But I know there’s something they can’t see And I carry it deep like my heartbeat Things ain’t never what they seem Darkness always follows me But I know there’s something they can’t see And I carry it deep like my heartbeat

I know that I’m hard to love Cause these demons I’m dreaming of They wake me up in the dead of night Keep me tossing from left to right Yeah we all got our baggage Heartbreaks in a hand basket I run away fast past it With chains strapped rapid I get snatched ass backwards Into this dark damp Labyrinth I’m just Struggling to stay a float Looking for the antidote Money bars girls and clothes I’m running out of hope Impermeable soap Water rushing down it flows Like a river down my cheek bones Sweet moan of relief Unexpectedly but undoubtedly we’ll see Why You’re clinging to me and my mouth doesn’t open When I know what you’re needing from me yeah She says Baby was wrong How come you won’t talk to me Can’t say another word Even though I see her beckoning To give me everything that I’m missing Everything Everything that I’d ever need These wounds run deeper Than Nasir and Ether I’m a shell of a human being I will never leave you I will I will never leave I will never leave you I will I will never leave I will never leave you I will I will never leave I will never leave you I will I will never leave And I almost believe her Because the eyes never lie And her soul is staring back at me When I look into her eyes Hard looking in the mirror I seem so unfamiliar Pour a shot of tequila Swallow my pride Girl I tried but fuck this sucks Sorry if I sound bitter I been working on forgiveness We’re all on our own path to religion let it go These walls that I’ve lived in I spent years building Solitudes good for the soul But it’s still hard to say it even when I’m miss her Superimposed in her life in her instagram pictures My chest beats hallow from a heart grown shallow My shell brittle and bruised from life’s undying rival Fear, that’s what we’re really talkin’ bout In the shape of me saying I can do without Here, It’s the place that I admit That everything is nothing if you’re not part of it It’s true, I’m afraid of what you’ll do That you’ll tarnish the light that is becoming of you That you’ll make me regret that I ever met you Unlikely that it’s the truth Even though inside I wanna believe She says Baby was wrong How come you won’t talk to me Can’t say another word Even though I see her beckoning To give me everything that I’m missing Everything Everything that I’d ever need These wounds run deeper Than Nasir and Ether I’m a shell of a human being Hey it’s me I know it probably doesn’t make sense to you You’re everything honestly but I gotta stay focused I know you say it’s an excuse but it’s all I know you know She says Baby was wrong How come you won’t talk to me Can’t say another word Even though I see her beckoning To give me everything that I’m missing Everything Everything that I’d ever need These wounds run deeper Than Nasir and Ether I’m a shell of a human being I will never leave you I will I will never leave I will never leave you I will I will never leave I will never leave you I will I will never leave I will never leave you I will I will never leave

You only get one life Dream rarely come true Giving up is easy It’s harder to push through When the only left for me to give up is you What am I supposed to do with it What am I supposed to do Silent beauty with a heart of gold You don’t know the extent of your potential Gave me space to grow, now my space is more vivid Every real moment I ever got was yours In entertainment love has limitations You took second place to fame lust But fame just makes us defenseless victims And plus anyway I’m kinda feeling myself these days When we met I never planned to stay But it was destined and I rolled with it You never slept so we leaned til the sun hit us Small town vibe big city dreams I’m sure we beamed because we looked the same in between Our start and our hearts aspiring to be more My knees worn and sore from chances prayed for Until the day I had more and tapped into the source And now we here and I wish that I had given you more But the hunger is raw All I think about from sun up to sun down I got fewer friends now than when I first started out No room for doubt just buckle down and wait it out The words you always told me when I was the old me I know we have grown apart as of recently But I figured underneath that you could always see me And now I’m a different version with more verse I’m bursting And you never really wanted to change You only get one life Dream rarely come true Giving up is easy It’s harder to push through When the only left for me to give up is you What am I supposed to do with it What am I supposed to do So here we are now We been at this too long put your guns down Never thought I’d have to go and write this song now Love is stronger than pride put my cards down And fold, these dollars that I been chasing Thick with intent my dreams I hold sacred Favored, but these hard odds stacked against me Reign in the booth but no truth in the industry So I’m in to me like Snoop into Cali trees I love the Cali breeze but fond of these mountain peaks I been climbing since 2003 and hard knocks do teach What cold nights will preach Feel me I know you do so I always call you My call proof I hold you on a golden pedestal Ambition is drug I shoot up every morning And when I’m on it my pen spills everything I’m wanting My luck doesn’t line up with what I’ve given up But given up was never an option from the touch So I, say goodbye and press on like Lee It’s likely my light speed will make it hard to see What you’ve given up before you know what’s up But trust, no matter what I’m never forgetting the love I’m not satisfied with less than Now I’m seeing different It’s not goodbye but see you later my friend You only get one life Dream rarely come true Giving up is easy It’s harder to push through When the only left for me to give up is you What am I supposed to do with it What am I supposed to do La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
