I guess I’m glad we didn’t drop 32 and blast out to the moon Get a slice of that life too soon Stumble on advice too soon Fall into no hype too soon Ins and outs that we know It was me Ju and JQ Look at those athletes shoot I just wish the best for my kin I put up respect in the wind I just want respect in the end I said I need life on my terms They thought I was messin again 20 1 5 was a dream Jah bless 2015 Try to roll with the same steam It ain’t always what it seems I just woke up feelin green I need more looks what I mean Take it one step at a time Take a quick breath for my mind I just let sick shit align They don’t even know about the ground All the groundwork Love hurts See what we could find in the mud first I caught slight gems when I dug earth Feel me like the gravitational pull I mostly engage get paid still age keep pace....(inaudible) Take a quick breath and unwind Take a quick step for my mind Take a quick breath and unwind Take a quick breath and unwind Take a quick breath for my mind (Breathe and unwind) x4 Take a quick Take a quick (Take it one step at a time) x10 in background (Breathe and unwind) x4 Take a quick Take a quick (Breathe and unwind) x4 Take a quick Take a quick (Breathe and unwind) x4 Take a quick Take a quick (Breathe and unwind) x4 Take a quick Take a quick (Breathe and unwind) x4 Take a quick Take a quick

(Weight) x57 Lift up, lift up Fall down-down Fall down down down down Lift up, lift up Fall down-down Fall down down down, fall 3300 lbs Keep me right where I be This the light that I need This the might I might need This for you despite me Took a night to proceed Ain’t too low but high key It’s my hunger no greed Blissful thought I might leave That’s the motion I seek This the coast that I bleed South side we gon wreck Underground where I’m set Underground where I shout From the ground where I shout Listen close you might hear Open up we out here We was coastin all year When the road was unclear When the code was unclear “You might fold in my ear” Keep all that to yoself I stay up with my belt I stay up with my slacks I puff gas and sell raps I got bills so I tax What’s that weight on my back I didn’t ask for all that That’s a ton and some change Livin up to my name Stayin dry in that rain Stayin fly on this plane (Weight) x117 Lift up, lift up Fall down-down Fall down down down down Lift up, lift up Fall down-down Fall down down down, fall

Risk my life to chase what life? New scene, this wind That’s slick my drug (Hello sky Hello sky Hello) x4

(For lack of better words) (Imma just say the words when I got em) x3 Imma just say the words (Imma just say the words when I got em) x4 Ain’t no sugar coat, no coat, We glow better Evening on the porch, why not? This fair weather Freedom by the verse It’s smooth it’s fine leather I just write this life The heights, the low lows I was too shy, way shy to smash shows I was indoors Outside was too cold 98 degrees indeed, but too cold Don’t nobody speak to me but who knows Don’t nobody know New code, the old code Make up as they go Make up, then go go Me against the world with team or solo Know I need my space from you, I won’t grow Imma write some raps, perhaps And drive slow I don’t like to rush, fatigue on my soul Imma let it breathe, that’s right The logo Internet the speed alright in ‘04 Pleats up in my slacks One pleat for each side I was hella quiet Inspired by peace sign Don’t nobody keep the peace on these sides What when everybody keep a piece on these sides What when everybody sneak and diss and sneak by (I)x10 (Imma just say the words when I got em) x5 Ain’t no sugar coat, no coat We glow better She just wanna feel foreal, A go-getter She can’t do the real No real She want fake Tried to come clean to you, you can’t take Say I’m like a wall, you talk, I hold nails I ain’t tryna prick yo skin If time tells Imma say a phrase in days, the right phrase Lately pink skies for you, they light grey Used to sit still, just now I stand up I can’t stand for you, don’t tweak It’s all love Double knot them vans SBs In bag Couldn’t walk a mile in these and feel bad You can’t bring me down, bring down I weigh ton Carrying them raps, them zips I weigh ton At a loss of words, no plan? Then make one We could make the earth unquake Vibrations Internet the speed too fast in ‘19 Know that news fake, just wait It just seems Know that new face invasive on screen Usually keep a rhyme like jumpshots on lock I’m just tryna write, can’t write with that block (I) x10 (Imma just say the words when I got em) x5

(Downside) x6 (I been up so long, Well This must be the downside I been up so long Look This must be the downside) x2 Momma raised a standup Pops showed me never say I’m lazy on camera Stuntin when it flash on me Rappin slick grammar Rosegold guts even when I got no cash on me They don’t understand us We the new wealthy I could smell your aura from the street Can’t help me I could smell your horror when you speak Unhealthy Karma taught me differently Give out I’m givin it right back it still stick to me I just steer clear so That’s what got me here so, I been up and down and up and down and up I fear so Here I am kinetically Bout to hit the rocks again Sure enough my wheels fucked up To the shop again Can I ever get ahead? Even with some show money Stackin for them snowier days 30 below money Just in case it hit the south If it ain’t my whip I bet my Fender amp is goin out It’s no way of knowin now (I been up so long, Well This must be the downside I been up so long Look This must be the downside) x2 Prowess got me laid up Look what’s in my arms, My Latin queen, glad we made up You just want my love I want the world That’s a shame cause, Don’t I get you right I brush that spot intangible Middle name, Antidote Know I had to talk mine Woke up next to you it got me thinkin bout the upsides Woke up next to you I checked my phone man what’s up I... All I see is R.I.P. We just lost another soul Can’t them demons let us be? I won’t ever see lil bro again “What up?” Say “Yo” again Mad he missed another show again Said “Imma catch you soon” But that ain’t ever come He ain’t ever see the date Took a bullet to the flesh Got damn he was just tryna skate He live forever through the verse now I hope to do the same Even when we up we might just scrape the dirt again You heard “Godspeed” I told the story years ago Wrote it with my pen and pad Wrote it now I feel it though Rest when my spine hurt Sesh when my bros here We gon change the continent Rest when the coast clear....(inaudible) (Once again, stretched too thin)

(Hey) x10 Days turn to daydreams Type of time that I’m on Smoov baby grow up Stress turn to bygones Stretched out all my limbs long Ain’t where all my friends gone Solo what the time tells Who can I depend on? Gone off my gut move Told me “Stay the wolf type” Double knot My word bond Stretch, make it tense, tight Cancel out my sins like Spread out all my love, light Shine onto the dark earth Gamble on my insight Everything is faux pas Coppers kill my blood still News got me hurt hurt Locked for my drugs still Who can I depend on? Find some peace in my brain I been savin too long Money doesn’t heal things

(Wakai) My momma she love me yet so religious I trust my sisters Til death & dentures I’m southern like low fades But see boosie aint my age Where I’m from no cop raids So relocate Til he upstate But its front page Somebody business Homies steady licking so we rarely kick it But in my position Only got a ticket Keeping ammunition Fuck with me Prolly keep knowledge my company Peeping yo color they bumping me Lyrically Giving that LSD Yet Spirtually Giving what eyes cant see Why I get so deep When the synth talk to me Wanna be (paid) Stuck in my (ways) Lil momma u know that Blow that Woah that Truth Hit Living my life like this Providing them vibes my nig Momma said times like this Always be times like this Why we got times like... (_thesmoothcat) Emphasize my feelings I’m in the lab with humans Treat me like who I keep around Breakin habits, can’t sleep around 9AM I’m just steppin out 10AM Sun beamin I’ll do that dirt for you my pleasure Let you know when I’m leavin Product of the new lonely... Don’t know what, but I need somethin Clear my mind when I’m outta town I ain’t never comin ever home Feelin better plus I’m better known I was content in the B.G. Write my woes in the background Love ain’t meant to be PG Love ain’t meant to be... Keep my woes in the back I was content in the B.G. Now I’m cool where I’m at
