[Verse 1] Tell me where I left off, FOUND forreal, Just tired of being slept on, I needed help, I'll admit that shit, Forget that shit, I never got it anyway, I'm tripping off another day, My views of something real just seem to slip away, They all tell me I got a gift but hey, I say, I'll wait, Just give me proof, I'm not the type of dude that does this cause it shit to do, I tell a story that begins a muse, Don't get confused, In other news I'm back up on my 1's and 2's, Forget the blues, Just take a walk in my shoes, Ain't setting up a ruse, I'm in the mood to do some crazy shit, And lately it's simple cause I'm back at it, With or without a chorus, More dominant than a Taurus, Forget the tigers blood, I'm winning without it cause I can roar, Fires running through my veins, I'm very influenced, The heart of a lion, I got it and it's never a nuisance. [Verse 2] Fires running through my veins, I'm very influenced, The heart of a lion, I got it and it's never a nuisance, If I told you once I got the skills, you know imma use it, People got they drugs but my prescriptions to music, I'll overdose, Propose a toast to those that go so low before they make the coast, I drown them in my wisdom like it's Christmas, I'm a Holy Ghost, All Black Hearts, there's something different with it, Teezy coming back harder, I just been busy with it, Flipped the scrip on them once or twice in the making, History that I'm taking, His story that I'm just graced with, I know there's been concerns, For music I yearn, To better myself, I just use what I've learned, Here's my return, Yeah, they like Samaad but they love Terrell, What the hell, Are you telling me that I fell off, They think i won't keep pushing like I ain't willing to pay hells cost, The bells crossed, Over Into another dimension, it ain't Terrell's loss. [Verse 3] I ain't willing to pay hells cost, The bells crossed, Over into another dimension, it ain't Terrell's loss, I'd say, I'd need a halo brighter than Beyonces, Sarenas my fiancé, She don't know it yet, Funny niggas wanna break your Kevin Hart, Right from the start it was a shot in the dark, I'm tryna pocket the art, I'm pretty shocked at the spark, I resonate with some people, be it for better or worse, Some call it a gift, but every letters a curse, Fuck it, I'm taking what's served, See, you can't say it ain't earned, What I'm saying is firm, The early bird can get the worm, But do it count if I stay up until they make a return, Let me speak a few words, Preach up a verse, I reach for the worst, Person in my memories, but all I see is my own father staring back at me, How could it be, man I don't hate him, I just learned to let go, I'm feeling it, whoa, Calling it close, I should stop and take a breather cause I'm doing the most. [Verse 4] Thinking back on how I left them, crying out for help, Like I said, I never got it, started helping myself, My minds been shattered, tryna pick up the pieces, Somewhere in this intro i developed a thesis, What if I, lied before and never found myself, Check out my surroundings of the 513, Different perspectives follow me, I'm hoping that they call on me, Hopefully put it all on me, The city's on my back, one way or another, I'll take it like I'm running track, display it from under, Ground, is this the sound they wanna hear before thunder, The calm before the storm, I'm in the eye, just chilling, Could take a walk around the corner, See the sun rays peeling, Inside jokes, If you ain't Cincy, forget it, Already know where I been, Wanna know where I'm headed, If I call this a blessing, Instead untold lessons, Well hopefully they notice it's the queen I'm repping.

[Verse 1] Same style, I'm still the same old guy, They don't know I'm bouta blow they high, Teezy here, these my views from the 5, Killing shit and man I don't know why, They always think we in competition but nigga I'm the man now, They always thinking there's something missing like I don't understand now, But I, Know what they up to, they wanna confuse, Me into believing I can't do just what I want to, But it's too late, I'm on it, I'm on it and Imma stay on, I stay working, From morning to morning, I hope my stay long, Cause my day long with these long hours, Been killing shit for like no reason, They just wanna know why, I tell em that it's flow season, Same shit, another album, Sike naw, said that before, It's more than I can fathom, Not that I can fathom what's in my head, Not that I can fathom all the things I've said, Either way at the end of the day when it's all said and done, Still gotta feel like I'm ahead, With that All Black, them Black Hearts, That ABH and that 5 Star, I ain't talking that Bruce Willis, but I live free and Imma die hard, Could kill these rappers with nine bars, Yeah I mean the whole nine yards, The shit I'm talking so out my mind, but maybe you should mind yours, Tired of rappers talking bout a movement, But still be making that same shit, And yes that did mean two things, which you prolly knew if you ain't new to this, But I'm only trusting a few with this, Only trusting the crew with this, Haters wanna take like all the credit, But they ain't have shit to do with this, Man, I don't know, Who said we was competition, man I didn't know oh, I don't hit low, But I'm serious, I didn't know, Oh, I didn't know, Oh, I didn't know, Oh, I didn't know, Oh, I didn't know. [Verse 2] They hate the way that I switch it up, They should give it up, They hate the way that I'm living huh, That's good enough for me, Took the time and now I see, What they wanting me to be, But nah that ain't me, That ain't me, Ain't wasting my time with them drugs, I think these niggas party too much, I just chill and record, I think I deserve a reward, This music thing go over time, Ain't no settling it down, Man I just had to clown, Let me get back to my flow, Cause I got it for you, Real shit, They music hit, I don't feel shit, And meanwhile I'm just killing shit, What's up with that, man I don't know, Think they was done a long time ago, I think it's time to go, Back to Cincy, Man I hope they miss me, But to tell the truth, that's iffy, I know damn well they ain't forget me, Oh no, Some roads got me so loco, Flow cold fo sho if go pro, No bozos go in my circle, If they go though we can throw blows, Said I won't go low, I roll solo, Hello, hello, Man I don't know no mo, But oh well, Im better off alone.

They say leave the bank, I take the safe with me, I'm a fucking virus, it ain't safe to get me, Rolling bobby, still hitting Whitney, All my niggas still getting with me, I'm gone, Stop and drop and roll, Make a nigga pay a toll if he entering my zone, I'm home, ET my nigga, I'll feed my niggas or we all starve, I'm the biggest dog, i do more than bark, Feeling brave, come meet the sharks, They'll eat ya heart like a AllSpark, You alright, but we all dark, No West Coast, see the Xzibit, You want a taste, come and get with it, She give me brain like I'm dimwitted, But really am I dimwitted, Hieroglyphics in my brain, think I'm going insane, Ain't the same when I rain on these hoes, Got a bottle of rose, Well let me make a toast, other niggas ain't close, Let me boast on the track, Swear they ain't coming back, Man I hate this flow, but I do it so well, As you can tell, I'm a fucking beast, No really I'm a fucking beast. I'm the man forever, They wanna take me outta style and I'm like man whatever, I know in time these haters gonna have to stand the weather, But I'm just me, I say it true like it has been a pleasure, You had a, feeling of feeling inferior, Cause ain't nobody feeling ya, Till ya girlfriend started defending ya, Man it's, fucking crazy how they treating me now, They eating me out, Like I'm a bitch, Pause... Think I'm finna quit, I, wish they understood the way that I feel, Ain't kenen and kel, Ain't all that, Wait a minute, let me fall back, Back into the comfort zone, Been awhile since I been gone, Feeling safe when I'm at home, I like it when my mind is blown, Puff the vape cause I hate dealing with ashes, They say do you still rap, and I'm like why are you asking, This shit is a passion, As real as you laughing, Man when will this happen, I'm flashing back through memories to see if it's worth saving these. Hip hop has started going criss cross, When you got a Rick Ross always yelling out boss, But I ain't hating though, I'm somewhere waiting though, If they don't give me a chance, I swear that imma take it hoe, Gotta fall back again, I'm getting too tense, Reading Road, made Paris Morton for that Lexi chick, Then made a sequel so you know I had to mention it, And if I get to fame, a nigga know I hope I get it quick, Getting rich was never part of the dream, I just wanted big stages like the artist I'd seen, U S H E R, Don't know he sparked up a teen, To turn to music so one day he'd be the one on the screen, So far it seems, I gotta be a white girl to pop on the scene, It makes me fucking scream inside, I mean, what more do I need, I need a big black box, Just to gather my thoughts, So I can trap those mother fuckers and just plot out my takeover, Need a makeover, My bars could even shake HOVA, I told ya that, Change the H to J cause everybody knows a Joe that raps, But those guys are average, I'm feeling savage, I'm picking up a new habit, Think I'm becoming an addict, Just a product of my past, But cannot see the future so whenever time has passed, I'll be real enlightened to meet ya, Speaking to my present self, Feeling like a Roosevelt, Place my soul on an empty shelf. Got a feeling this is third eye shit, In my mind I shit, You not, I'm telling you, There's always been a problem, But I been there to solve em, The hieroglyphics in my third eye shit.

[Hook] I remember all the good times, All the fun that I've had, Thinking back on it and it really make me glad, But to tell the truth I search for something better and it's gonna feel so good, No other way to say the shit, One more time, I said its gonna feel so good, No other way to say the shit, So I won't try and I don't wanna lie bout that, But now I see what I became girl, Killing shit the way that only I could, Like a nigga straight forgot about his childhood, Flipped the scrip for a minute cause it's feeling just so good, No other way to say the shit, One more time I said its gonna feel so good, No other way to say the shit, Ain't gotta lie man it's gonna feel so good, So good, so good, yes it will, yes it will, So good, so good, yes it will, yes it will. [Bridge] I ain't gotta lie, I'm the man, Give a fuck bout what you think, You couldn't miss me if you blink, The beat and all my lyrics is in sync, That's what I do, All the time, All night, Never giving up, I couldn't give a fuck less, About your process, I'm just tryna reach success. [Verse] I did it, I did it, I think it's time to admit it, Don't give a fuck how you feeling, But I'm just making a killing, You say this shit sound familiar, Well I would hope that it do, I'm in a childhood loop, Oh what that's news to you, Wu-tang forever, I'll do my thing forever, I gotta get it together, You niggas thinking you clever, Whatever, long as you can notice the truth, Wear a lot of red, a nigga came out the blue, Pause for sec, remember where I was when I heard that, Michael Jackson had died, For a week I was quiet, Around the same time, tryna make a name for myself, That shit didn't help, It's like that shit affected my health, Slide over, 2010, new decade, Had my first show yeah I remember the day, Today I'm only tryna lead the new age, With a few things, That I learned along the way, I think it's time to turn the page, New chapter, With a few after, And honestly yeah I've had some bad times, But I keep them in the back of my mind because it's good I. [Hook] I remember all the good times, All the fun that I've had, Thinking back on it and it really make me glad, But to tell the truth I search for something better and it's gonna feel so good, No other way to say the shit, One more time, I said its gonna feel so good, No other way to say the shit, So I won't try and I don't wanna lie bout that, But now I see what I became girl, Killing shit the way that only I could, Like a nigga straight forgot about his childhood, Flipped the scrip for a minute cause it's feeling just so good, No other way to say the shit, One more time I said its gonna feel so good, No other way to say the shit, Ain't gotta lie man it's gonna feel so good, So good, so good, yes it will, yes it will, So good, so good, yes it will, yes it will.

[Verse 1] Said I had a dream, And no niggas could touch me, They wanna discuss me, Getting up in the ranks like I'm lucky, But nah this wasn't luck at all, I just wasn't gonna fall, I've done it all, And damn nigga I made it, I prayed it would happen, And before long I made the song of my career, At first I feared it'd never happen, Played out just the way I mapped it, You know they say that you can make it if you got the passion, Hard Work goes with it, Shouts to all those that offended me, I'm sitting on my pedestal with all those that defended me, I told them all that we gone make it in the end, you'll see, Flights from here to Rome, I'm gone and never home, But when I am that's shits a party, And those moments don't last long, Only good as your last song, But that shit can't be true since one hit wonders always fall off, They calling me the ball hog, Got every top spot and I ain't passing them to who's next, Gotta work to be the best, Mafucka, put that work in, Every album platinum, Niggas wanna work with me and I never get back to em, A verse for a verse, just ain't an even trade to me, Could show em the truth, but that's what they all hate to see, And lately I couldn't give a fuck what they could hate from me, Too late to see what could've happened if I let the bullshit get to me, Honestly and truthfully, I got a booth to be at, Making money and moves, that money go where we at, I embody hip hop and I'm just hitting my pinnacle, In this pivotal approach, you cannot say it's a miracle, No subliminals, the principle, I'm tryna get biblical, I'm a God to these imbeciles, Original oh so mythical, They wish this shit was fictional, But on me, yes it's physical, It's critical you get and understanding every syllable, They think it's equivocal that I'm so lyrical, I think it's typical that they so pitiful, It's safe and so predictable that I'll always be invincible. [Hook 1](x4) They say nigga where you at, I'm just living my dreams, They said that I should give up rap, like nigga what do you mean. So far it seems that this the greatest thing to happen to me, I got my girl and family, man I'm just living my dreams. (Back to reality) [Verse 2] I woke up, Fucking daydreaming has gotta stop, Man I'm tryna vision the top, Wish they'd listen I'm not gonna make it, For goodness sakes they ain't doing they part by only saying I'll make it, I must've been mistaken, wish I didn't awaken, I'm sick of waiting, On tables and this shit to get better, I'm tryna break out the fetter, They got locked in a sweater, I'm in my mind and tryna escape with each and every fucking letter, Can't decide whether or not I'm under the weather, But fuck it I guess, Cause honestly I'm making a mess, I'm so upset with myself, This shits a regret, Ain't tryna regress only tryna prove that I've been blessed, In success, I'm feeling stress to the point, Get obsessed with a joint, That I'm the only one feeling, No kidding, No games cause this ain't a scrimmage, Ain't tryna see the resemblance, Between myself and my pops, Declaring independence, So one day when I have made it, I can tell him I made it, Without his help, it isn't selfish, He'll come back when I'm famous, When I talk about the dad I never had they getting mad out the anus, But I don't give a fuck and if I had one wish, I wish he would've stayed in my life or fucking stayed missing. [Hook 2](x4) Tryna reach my dreams but I'm just facing my reality, Don't care much for brutality, Struggle with my morality.

This is a memoir, Of things I think I was sent for, A centaur, couldn't kill this, so there for, I've lost all hope for a happy ending, Depending on whether or not it's worth it, Pretending I could be perfect, Going nowhere, I notice, I'm not the type to lose focus, Ain't pulling a hocus pocus, Want them to call me a locus, Or center of attention, Did I mention, There's no tension in my perception, Of inching closer to a thing they call perfection, Seriously, just take me in as I am, No need to cram, I'm here to jam, Can't stand being called Sam, Fucking morons, that ain't my fucking name, Guess they ashamed, They wanted someone who I just never became, But who's to blame if I'm a lion and they tripping over my mane, I know the difference in persistence and steady keeping the same old, Boring washed up, rinse out and repeat scheme, Sour night terrors wanna turn into sweet dreams, But we think, distinguishing could fuck with the previously, Existing pricks to pick up on the game and just leave me, Behind, so I just fall back, I'm guessing that you could call that, A lesson learned from a nigga repping XO with a ball cap, It's all rap though, in the end I suppose, And I'm opposed to certain theories on how we treating the hoes, The saying goes, Takes one to know one, But no one knows me, So here I am just by my lonesome, But still ain't lonely, The old me, would prolly get a pen and write about it, But the new me never write so I take my time and I type about it, So whys the hype surrounding, An average grown ass kid, Wondering what's left to type about it, My mind is clouded. Let the wind blow, Sun Shining through the cracks, If it's as simple as that, To find the silver lining, Then why in the fuck would I wanna spend my time crying, It don't make sense but since these dollars make me forget, All my underlining problems, I'm bold when I use the pen, Molding to something when, The brush inside my mind can paint the picture vivid, Living and fucking killing to apprehend, That I'm the GOAT, No need to boast and I sure don't have to pretend, I got the mcm, every week, All year long, Most Creative Music, and it's heard through every song, Don't get me wrong, I wanna be on top, They'll call me King Kong, Play me on BET MTV, Viacom, Ride along, don't let me break your Kevin Hart, I'll write a song with many punchlines, Try to tell us apart, Tell me this isn't art, I'll draw a knife and stab you with it, That's just where I'll start, Teach you the ropes before I hang you with it, That's the fucking game you winning, Better say your grace like its mafucking Thanksgiving, Teezy got flow, ain't Big or Pac but I'm close, How the fuck I'm supposed to win when they got me fighting some ghosts, I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met me yet, I'm a fucking alien labeled up as a big regret, Am I being too forward, let me rewind that, Play the good times and search for one that I can pause at, Where the flaws at, I didn't even edit yet, Skin black so they offended by my etiquette, Man this praying got me feeling like Connecticut, Think about it for a sec, you'll see why I can never quit, I'm too legit to fail over some fucking foolish shit, When niggas tried to help before, I learned they all full of it, Felt the motion, put all notions aside, Emotion on an override, From devotion of loving overtime. Who am I? This isn't a story about finding myself, Cause apparently I've done that, But I must've forgot, So... The plot thickens, This is actually a story about the city I live in, The 513, Cincinnati, our views are different, If you just listen, a little closely, Then maybe perhaps.... You can see my perception, And my drive to.... Only reach perfection, But that's impossible, Right? Or I thought it was... Cause when I thought to myself a new world was born, Uplifting, I'll kill it just take a listen, Please just... Give me the chance, I can break free... Of the confinement they put me in, I hear the laughter, They think I'm a joke, Are they serious? At least I'm doing something with myself... Or I'm delirious, Can't hardly tell anymore, This city's a bore... There's nothing here for me... My dreams... I can see them slip away.,, Is it sad think like this? Perhaps... But at least I'm honest... Do you ever get that vague feeling of something called DèJaVu? Cause I do.

[Verse 1] So underrated, I know that they hate it, I'm just a kid in a basement, what I do is amazing, Damn, I'm back on, When they hear my voice, Gotta leave the track on, Better than my last song, Greater than yo next, And I'm a Leo, got that lion head around my neck, Ain't gotta flex but I'm ready for any test that they throwing at me, I just had to get that off my chest. [Bridge 1] Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Ok I'm good. [Hook] Niggas can't believe when they see me, I'm down to earth, Gotta figure out my worth, I know that ain't nobody perfect, Niggas can't believe when they see me that I been working, They see me and know my worth, They know I'm tryna reach perfect. [Bridge 1](x2) [Verse 2] Sharing with you, my views from 5, Winton Terrace, Westwood, West Chester, I'm good, H-Town to Monroe, Now double F, here I go, Where I been, now they know, Always asking where I been and I'm steady getting them pesos, I got hits, try to make those, Teezy in your city, when you see me I got bank rolls, Like I'm balling right, I'll call it a night, When I'm in your face so much, ain't no such thing as being Outta sight, Or Outta mind and I'm outta mine, Got seconds, minutes, hours cause I'm borrowing from Father Time, And I don't plan on giving back... Call it a crime, I'm guilty right, Well fuck it nigga, guess I'm going outta sight, What they don't know won't kill them, Think I'm addicted to venom, Matter fact, I need some healing, Psychotic and I'mma kill them, I reel them in with my words, Cause I'm a smooth talker, But they don't wanna hear no more like damn it that was awkward, Saying. [Bridge 2](x2) Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Queen City. [Hook] Niggas can't believe when they see me, I'm down to earth, Gotta figure out my worth, I know that ain't nobody perfect, Niggas can't believe when they see me that I been working, They see me and know my worth, They know I'm tryna reach perfect. [Verse 3] Cause I understand where I wanna go, Understand what I want it for, Do this for my mom and well my pops, Just gotta let him know, Sorry had to cut you off, But where you been my whole life, Even when we met, shit just couldn't go right, So I went left and you went wrong, Don't mean to make this a vent song, But I'm on a crash course, life's a highway, I won't crash hard, I mean it can't be that hard, I mean you popped up and then played ghost, I mean you disappeared, now what you go do that for, So I could spend my whole life confused, So I could find out what that gun do, No really, I got no clue, Wonder what I got from you, Not dedication, not education, And still I wonder to this day, Got motivation no hesitation and I just gotta say. [Outro](x3) Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Where you been, Not around.

[Verse 1] Here I am, and I... Wanna get something straight, If you looking at me in the face, What do you see, Another young rapper giving life to beats, See, this is it, and uh... No one can stop me, Not cocky, I state the obvious, Cleaned up from all the sloppiness, This ain't a hobby bitch, It's passion, And ooh, it's been everlasting, I'm feeling just so fantastic, Asthmatic, let me catch my breath, While I'm at it, Girl you've had it, I turn you into an addict, It's sporadic, So fantastic the way that I blow your back end... Out, Standing and you demanding i make up some new positions, You been finished the mission-ary, Remember you telling me how the dark was pretty scary, Well we can share my light, cause girl I'll keep it coming, Done running from what's behind me, As long as it can remind me, These songs all got perfect timing, Just my views from the Nati, If you got me you ain't had me, If you had me, you don't have me, Sorry if that sounds crappy but fuck it, it makes me happy. [Hook] Check out my requirements, Niggas getting tired when, I say I been inspired by the best, there's no denying it, Cause I'm just doing better. [Verse 2] I'm required to make hits, Required to take this shit, Admired to admission, The higher I'm getting, Supplying my mission, They lie and don't listen, I spied the description, I'm missing facts hidden in lyrics, And I'm fly they don't get it, You see but you never witness, You blind to my intermission, It's quick, forget that I'm vivid, I live in different dimensions, You false and I'm so factual, Forget the past you know, When you the last to know, That I put this shit on blast and oh, Bounce right back, Can you, Let me give it to them straight, No you ain't bouta put me down, It take a hell of a lot just to make this sound, When I wanna clown and I get it in, I may have hit the ground but I'm in to win, Ain't innocent when I speak my piece, Ain't innocent when I beat these beats, Up, with enough luck, I can get up, Enough bucks to do what I wanna do, Got no fucks to give so I'm warning you, Good morning dude, I got a ton of views, But this the story bout 5, What's in my dreams and my mind, And that 513, come ride with me, I got a lot to see, I got a lot to be, These niggas win, but not with me, And that's required, This that shit that'll make me retire, You fired, go get rehired, This song biz is the wrong shit for you to try to get involved in, And I state my case for best of them, I'm truly better than the rest of them, I mean I'm versatile, I'm all that, What you call that, A star in making, taking risks to be big in what you call rap, It's so outlandish, the shit that I been demanding, Surprised that I'm only planning my future for when I'm famous.

[Enlightened] Told these mother fuckas I'm on, I'm on, They ain't ever proving me wrong, me wrong, Don't give a fuck bout who out hating, I ain't waiting, I ain't waiting, I ain't waiting, At the top of my game, These roller coasters all around me, man they all been the same, Matter fact, I see the fakest niggas out here tryna put on an act, Where they at, where they at, Pop that addy then I'm on 2, Let the vape blow, That's when you know a nigga on few, Oh, it's nothing new, They got me confused, With who they... Thought would never put you into the move, But shit I... Blacked out and that's when everything changed, I just, Grew up and started feeling my name, Ain't a crime I'm in these same 4 walls, Till the paint drips off, Do you know what that's called, I'm a.. Music addict living in the basement, Mind is full of mazes, When my head is racing, It's amazing, Love the stages, Going low to high, Like if I don't Imma die, Oh my, oh my... You can take a trip to my carnival, My mind be twisted girl do not get me wrong, Oh, My carnival, I wanna take you on a ride inside my dark carnival. [Terrell] Pause... Let the beat resume, Lost my mind a few times running on the fumes, Don't get confused, When I feel amused, I sit back, relax and then crack a laugh, Stepping on my path you bouta feel the wrath, Man it's Teezy boy, You see me boy, Swear I make this shit look easy boy, Oh, Damn, can I bring you back, To my dark room I call a carnival, Get a pole, see what that body do, See I know how to work it, I know I deserve it, Mother fuckers talk shit but I act like I ain't heard it, But what's new, All Black and that 5 Star, Think back when we had YHR, We grow and go past them things, I deserve me some diamond rings, Even if I never wear it I swear I ain't material- Listic, you listening, I think you are, but I ain't surprised, And I'm on a rise, Been killing this shit since 09, Better yet since the day I opened my eyes, When I first let out that cry man I was born to different, Go hard on a mission, With no intermissions, My lyrics exquisitely vivid, Just talking bout the shit that I'm living, If you relate, then here's yo invite, Just think twice, I'm inclined, To tell you how I'm great, Make no mistake, Shit so good make you have to do a double take, But aye, They pray for the day I drop, I wanna go nonstop, Don't wanna hit the bottom, I been good off that bottle, Like I hit a personal lotto, I know, I made my mistakes, But everyone do, I'm tryna ease your mind, So will you come through, My carnival, My dark and twisted carnival, But I'm warning you, It's something new, It's something else, Prepare yourself, For better or worse cause you'd be the first, To experience this shit, It's different, Open your mind and girl I'll make you feel so distant, Ain't no instructions, you just follow my lead, They say I'm unique, well babygirl I hope you agree, Come take a trip on this roller coaster, it's just you and me, Hope you can see, Ain't gotta buy my love cause this park is free. You can take a trip to my carnival, My mind be twisted girl do not get me wrong, Oh, My carnival, I wanna take you on a ride inside my dark carnival.

[Verse 1] Sleeping outside on such a cold night, I feel it in my mind that I'm just alright, Some time later I should prolly rewrite that, Bounce back to when I thought my flow was so tight, Wait that's right now, Ain't giving a fuck, Cause I ain't giving it up, I get it enough, That I'm the best in the Cincy, But whys it so hard to get my fans to represent me, Got me twisted, see my kidney, I ain't kidding, A million views when you wanna hear a kid sing, On my competitors, I been there pissing, Missing waivers to those constantly forgetting, I'm an underground king in the queen, Show me love, Jesters joke, saying I'm above, Prince of my destiny, Princess right next to me, Got a gift of telepathy, And I'm more than you'll ever be, what you telling me... [Hook] If I could do it overnight, I would, I would, Said if I could do it overnight, Then you know that I would, I would. [Verse 2] Fresh up in the game, it doesn't make sense, And I'm a witness to some real shit, Just listen, First off, for starters, No ones really reliable, Except your small clique, But that's only provided you... Take a deep breath, Get your feet wet, Listen to some Keith sweat, Who's that nigga, Old news, started looking back on pictures, I'm attacking the riches, Ain't sacking the bitches, Cause I could care less, Almost blacked last night just to clear stress, I'm the best and I mean it, The best and they need it, I'll make mess cause I'm greedy, I wanna eat the game up like right now, But I'm like how when the message is in front of my face, Running straight to home plate from the mess that I made, I fucked up, give me one last chance to be a saving grace, I'll say my grace. [Hook] If I could do it overnight, I would, I would, Said if I could do it overnight, Then you know that I would, I would. [Verse 3] Learned my lesson, coming back on the flow, Impossible though, these niggas think they stopping me, Woah, Give them the chance, let em eat cake, Marie Antoinette, Ask me where I learned that shit and I say from the Internet, Damn, let me refrain cause I'm telling them lies, Thinking to myself, man when will I realize, Im holding inside, the greatest gift that they could imagine, They ask can they have it and I wanna smash it, Cause to me this shit just seemed to happen overnight like magic, Nigga I can't grasp it, It's like I'm getting better every project, And that ain't a bad thing, All I really wanted was to get rid of bad dreams, Turn them into sweet things, put that on repeat, Live my life just how I want and hope it don't kill me, Just show em the real me cause I'm allergic to fake, I got my life on a stake and I'm praying that it ain't too late. If I could do it overnight you know a nigga would if he could, It's good he ain't talking hood, Cause that ain't him, They got a nigga misunderstood.

[Verse 1] This is a memoir, I think I'm on the second page, And yesterday, Took a trip down some memory lanes, It's so insane, I went to Hayes, Can't keep a pace, And man I'm just all over the place, But I don't care, My minds so scattered, I'm just glad it hasn't shattered already, Man what did they tell me, Sticking to this music shit is never gonna fail me, And they helped me, picked me back up when I was feeling down, I felt the blues, Man I remember... Back against the wall, there was no one that I could call, I heard it all, I'll be there for you anytime, You wasn't there for any time, And every time I tried to take the knife into my chest... That's too much to confess, I'm a mess, But I been blessed with this rapping shit, Yeah, I guess, This shits a test, You gotta flex with your mind, You stay forgetting the times, Just take a trip down memory lane and hope the story's the same, And if it ain't then oh well, they say everything change. I took a trip down memory lane just today actually, It was a nice experience, I remember back when I was 17 and I would think "man, when I'm famous I definitely gotta mention this in my 'when I was 17' episode." I had made this song called "The Help" for my first album, What actually motivated it was that I wanted to do this tour thing... My mom said no. It destroyed me. Like to the point that I just didn't want to make music anymore. I was done. And I remember this one time... I was so happy. My mom had just gotten married, Just moved into a new house, And I mean an actual house. It wasn't big but it was comfy, I miss that place on Hayes Avenue. Going to a new school, It was nice. And then... That night... I don't wanna get into much detail... But it lead to a divorce, New city, New school. Ugh. Back to happy thoughts, I remember meeting my dad for the first time, Well the first time that I would actually remember in life, It was May, 2011, I was in school and I got called down to the office, Specifically it was my Algebra II class, I knew I wasn't in trouble so naturally I was pretty confused, I get to the office and I see my mom, We get to talking and then this guy walks in, My father, It didn't take very long for him to be in tears looking at what I would assume was a mirror image of him at that age, I didn't cry... At least while I was in the office. I didn't know what to think, I won't lie I was really happy about it though, But I guess that's the reason I began to hurt so much once the broken promises followed, We don't talk anymore... Maybe one day... One day when I can actually forgive him and mean it, Ugh, I need more happy thoughts, I remember Halloween one year, It was while my mom was still married, We did a scavenger hunt in my basement, It was all Ronnies idea, Definitely my favorite Halloween ever, I'll never forget it. Back to 2011... My great grandmother died... So I made her a promise that I would never give up with her watching over me, I'm keeping it. Another important promise in my life, My tenth birthday, I promised that when I have kids I'll always be there for them, and be the father I never got to have myself, There's that memoir.

[Hook] Been talking to myself, Heavy shit be on my mind, All the time, got nobody else, In a world all by my lonely I'm striving to see the top, More money than what I got, I keep going until I drop. I'm just out here on my lonely, Feeling like I'm the only one with my head between a rock, As I climb, I pick up cuts from the edge, Just tryna watch where I'm headed, But I won't stop until I'm at the top, Or until I drop. [Verse 1] It's getting kinda hard in my life now, So imma go hard like right now, In the streets so I gotta bring heat, Gotta eat, if you talking bout beef, I bite down, Gotta separate fake from real shit, That phony shit I can't deal with, Got money on my mind and my homie on my side, With two bad hoes tryna blow me in the ride, I grind, like that, Tryna put my foot on the right step, But if I fall, imma ball, And bounce right back, get it, Fuck these other niggas, I just gotta stay committed, I got money as my mission and I promise I won't stop until I drop and hit the ceiling. [Hook] Been talking to myself, Heavy shit be on my mind, All the time, got nobody else, In a world all by my lonely I'm striving to see the top, More money than what I got, I keep going until I drop. I'm just out here on my lonely, Feeling like I'm the only one with my head between a rock, As I climb, I pick up cuts from the edge, Just tryna watch where I'm headed, But I won't stop until I'm at the top, Or until I drop. [Verse 2] Spending my time just wondering, How I got in the position I'm in, Asking myself when the fuck I'm gonna win, The very day I turned ten, Promised myself, I'd be better than my father and, I'd be the one to go farther than, Him and stick around, Shit ain't even part of my business now, I'm getting down, I growed up, Had a show, he ain't show up, Had some more that he ain't know of, What's the point, Got that shit off my mind and in time he'll realize, That I did this without him, And I will see to it, That music will do it, I'll prove it, to those who laugh, With a pen and notepad, Wait, new topic, I'm killing and you can't stop it, The picture fell out the locket, I'll crop it till I can't see you, Review, what I say, Know you may not believe it but my mind sometimes just draws blanks, I'll say, we all safe, Till the day that I fade away, Role play my mistakes, Times up, go Ray. Ok, imma kill this like OJ, Got pro waves, no hair grease, I lay bodies down like bed sheets, Ain't from the hood, but they feel what I say when I'm in these streets, Imma dog when I eat, and my gold chain look like a leash, No freak a leek can get a peek of this new level I'm on, And no freak a leek can hop in this seat when I'm into my zone, Gone. [Hook] Been talking to myself, Heavy shit be on my mind, All the time, got nobody else, In a world all by my lonely I'm striving to see the top, More money than what I got, I keep going until I drop. I'm just out here on my lonely, Feeling like I'm the only one with my head between a rock, As I climb, I pick up cuts from the edge, Just tryna watch where I'm headed, But I won't stop until I'm at the top, Or until I drop.

[Verse 1] Let me tell you something about my life while the time feels right, Once, I had a dream I could rule the world in the blink of an eye, In one God damn night, That's nice, and all, I rise, I fall, I tell a lot of stories and I put them to a beat cause the only way for yall to feel me is through songs, I battle with my conscience tryna forget all the nonsense, And it's got me to the point of tryna right new wrongs, The lights been gone, The flame that I had flickering inside me burned out, I had to leave, that shit took a new route, New bouts to face on my route to fame, It all amounts the same, Is this the cost of fame, Losing everything I want and love to focus on getting above, And getting love from a bunch of damn strangers, I'm a Lone Ranger, Dealing with my dreams and consequences, neglecting to mention that I wanna be a game changer, I'm in danger, Fighting with myself, there's nothing stranger, Face the facts while they facing me, Pardon myself as I escape the beat, Escape the heat, These lyrics just escape from me, From A to Z, I take a piece, Of make believe, And make it seem, That I can be the next independent act, No co-sign, To tour around the U.S. Of A, When just yesterday, I quit my job, Tell me is that insane. [Bridge] They ask how I'm feeling now, I say I'm aye ok, But I'm not ok, Wishing everything could just go my way, My way my way, Just go my way, Everything's so great, But I'm not ok, No way no way, No way Josè. [Verse 2] Yo, wanna talk a little, Ease my mind, so I walk a little, These people hear me, they like "there's something in him", But the thing in me, it likes to floss with venom, No joke, I'm serious, Said a million times you delirious, Everyone around me, they ain't feeling it, Taking new risks tryna kill this shit, Am I not up to par, Should I not have followed my heart, And those who said I suck, were they right from the start, Well God damn, I hope not, But only few are here when my hope stops, Im singing with meaning, It's not without reason, I just gotta let out these things that I'm feeling, Too personal, But it's worth it yo, I'd do it again, To help you understand, The world we living in, It ain't perfect yo. [Outro] My way my way, My way my way, Just wish everything was, My way my way, And I'd be ok, Just wish everything was, My way my way, And I'd be ok, My way my way, Just wish everything was, My way my way.

[Verse 1] Visualizing a difference in distance and all the shit that I'm missing, Man I wish I would listen, Take a sec, I'm realizing I got persistence, And, The mission I wanna hold onto, Don't wanna prolong doing, Just keep it moving, So through with all the confusion, I'm losing my mind, More each day, In the pouring rain, Checking puddles for reflections of my soul, It look like gold, There ain't no glitters there, Wanna fucking disappear, Just listen clear, Falling on my face like a big disgrace, Hope the days go at a pace, Where I can still realize my place, And I, Can't hide that I fucked up a couple times, Slipping up a couple rhymes, I left that back in Separate Lives, Been growing better but don't feel it, Man I just wanna kill it, But others' been there done that, I'm just tryna make a comeback, Resurrect the game the best I can, But I am just a single man, When the night so cold and I wanna let go, I really hope I ain't. [Hook] I'm tripping, falling through, Don't know where to go from here, I see it from the bottom tryna make it to the top, I'm waiting to make a move, Visions blurred, gotta make it clear, Guarantee, I'll fight, sometimes you gotta fall through. Fall through, fall through, fall through, Thinking to myself I know I'm. [Verse 2] Realizing when I analyze how I feel sometimes, When I'm in my mind or I'm in my feels, How sometimes I just cannot deal, How I wanna just drop to the bottom line, They don't pay me no never mind, I walk past putting my head down, Not caring where I head now, So on this lonely road I go, So cold, God damn I hate the snow, They know that I got loads of flows, But they refuse to watch me grow, Though I ain't grass, These blades of rhymes will slash the air without a care, And break the glass, And make it crash, reflections start to reappear, But this time they're so shattered as if they just never mattered, What if all the thoughts I've gathered just scattered, I mean I'd rather, Pick up my pen, start to vent again, I'm on my Marshall Mathers, But if you want Terrell then I guess you should pick the latter. [Hook] I'm tripping, falling through, Don't know where to go from here, I see it from the bottom tryna make it to the top, I'm waiting to make a move, Visions blurred, gotta make it clear, Guarantee, I'll fight, sometimes you gotta fall through. [Verse 3] Fall through until I reach a better place, I've earned a spot in hell, oh well, I only need a taste, Been hot to the core, Gotta move forward, Hear so much that I'm talented, that shit can't go to waste, In a worst case scenario, Yeah I'm in your stereo, But only after I've passed, it's scary though, You hear me though, I'm breaking through, Every fucking boundary that they placed me in, Thinking out the box, my tops misshapen, I'm an alien, But fuck that shit, I'm focusing on tryna live my dreams, So far it seems, That I just bleed my art onto a blank canvas, I'm thinking man I can't stand this, I didn't mean to plan this, Deep depressing bullshit that they never wanna hear, Maybe they fear the Holy Ghost or they just wanna disappear, I mean, I'm near to my hearing, Will they give me life or death, Am I cursed or am I blessed, The truth is I'm just obsessed, With myself and no one else can understand this type of mess. [Outro] I'm tripping, falling through, Don't know where to go from here, I see it from the bottom tryna make it to the top, I'm waiting to make a move, Visions blurred, gotta make it clear, Guarantee, I'll fight, sometimes you gotta fall through.

I been through the realist shit so many times, Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, Look in your mind, I know that you'll find, All the places you think that you can go, Don't dare resist in the making of this, No twist no turn, straight forward, I done seen the darkest dark, but light is still around the corner, Slow it up, Found the man of the people, Stood to be equal, Despite his ego, He's the goodness behind all of the evil, Life's a test and you got choices, Don't listen to all the voices, That's in ya head, For the good or the bad, Cancel out all of the noises, That you hearing, I ain't fearing, An end that's sooner than later, I'm up for getting paper, Tell that shit to all the haters, If they complaining, Its genocide, I come through, They tuck tail and hide, Take the good with the worse, And the last with the first, And just share my curse of knowing how to spit the perfect verse, With no rehearsing, Shit it's worth it, And I deserve this, I'll put it in a speech, Hear it in person, Moral of the story is, I'm just living glorious, 5 Star, SmokeOut, They all know we warriors. [Hook] Down for the game, Nothing's the same, Tell em what they wanna hear, cause I ain't to blame, Nah I ain't to blame, They know my face and they know my name, These nights of Cincy living ain't the best but damn it's vivid, I tell em that I'll kill it and they follow along with it. These nights in Cincy living, These nights in Cincy with it. [Verse 2] Pause for a second, this the remix, Came back just to give some more real shit, Nights in Cincy, I can't take it, Damn I wanna make it, If I see the chance I'll take it, And no there ain't no debating, Done patiently waiting in my city, Shouts to Em and fifty, Told em I'll kill it, Don't give a fuck if you feel it, I just deliver my lyrics, Flip it, like chicken in the kitchen, That was corny but fuck it, I bet your girlfriend will love it, Place nothing above it, I'm running the local game, Now, if I could have it my way, Man that'd be true, But who are you, A lazy fan, Sorry to bring that up, But no one from our town will make it, Why, Cause niggas don't show no love, What's up with this shit, They only love the ones that's talking about a life they don't live, Man, I'm relatable, To some of you, To some degree, Maybe not at all, But till I day I fall, I'll stay true, Make music, till the day that it makes you, Review my hits and learn a lesson, I just use my blessing, As a way to connect my emotions, It's not for granted.

I been thinking that lately, Man, fuck it I'm going crazy, There's bottles that's all around me but searching them ain't the same, See, I been on the road to finding myself, Reminding myself there's a better me inside of myself, But when I think what I created out of sheer boredom, I put some effort in my dreams and start to move toward them, It's like a, Clue to myself, I was meant for this, You ain't know that I was serious, Well you just fooling yourself, I'm cool for whatever if it ain't misery, I'm shutting down my ex when she start to show that she missing me, Forreal I don't know why, I guess that's just the way I am, And I ain't know how else to tell her so I hope she hear this jam, But man, Can't let it get me down, Nothing stopping me from finding my sound, I'm feeling better than before and maybe confident even, Top of the evening with the fellas, I could careless who could top what I'm doing. Getting there man I'll make it, Give me a second to see if I'll take the chance or I wreck it, But really I'm feeling wreck less, Don't know if that's a good thing but get it off my checklist, Or my chest if I'm talking bout my confessions, I'm guessing it's time to fess up, Hoping that I don't mess up, It's a blessing that I am breathing, I shouldn't be, Tried to take my own life, Truthfully, On a new wave, turning over a new leaf, Making music for people that never knew me, I hope don't believe everything that you do see, And truthfully if you do I ain't blaming you, Life just isn't training you right, It's alright, And if you wanna know what keeps me going, It's knowing that no one can ever make feel like I ain't growing, I'm glowing, Cause I'm a star, Or I'm getting there. Told em imma make it, Ain't no mistaken, Ain't waiting, Ain't faking, There's nothing out there breaking me down, I'll go another round, They wanna clown, and imma show em up, Out the water, blow em up, Think I'm only playing, Ain't saying shit to amuse you, Must've got me confused who, You think you listening to, Someone envisioning you, At the top of they pedestal, I'm making a better school, Getting there, I see it, Make me believe in a reason that I'm breathing, And conceiving, Ideas unrelated to treason, Know that this is my season, Hope you getting the meaning, Take it how you receive it, nigga, Slow down, let the beat breathe, These images of a future just always seem to tease me, The outcome ain't always pleasing, But I come out cheesing, Look at what I'm achieving, Don't know if anybody ever cared, But I just keep it in my mind that I'm getting there, Don't know if anybody cares, But Imma keep it in my mind, I'm getting there.

[Verse 1] This is a memoir, The last time that I'm doing this, The last time I cried out for help, that shit was a miss, In this abyss I reminisce on life before the big twist, I'm pretty pissed about the good times, they all got dismissed, Well actually, Did they ever exist, I'm in the midst of all the bullshit, Can't resist the way they pull shit, On me, all the time, It's like an army, the front line, Is against me and if you tempt me my tank is on fucking empty, The assembly of fallen soldiers have gently just fallen over, I'm reaching for closure but in my mind there's a nova, I take a sip of a soda, where I'm from we call it pop, Sorry, lost my fucking train of thought, But oh well, The hotel, Say they hope, It goes well, But they hosted the party, And no tickets sell, Am I serious, You're hearing this, Ain't delirious, Ain't no curing this, Appetite for disaster, My mind has been plastered all over the churches walls, It's true, go ask you a pastor, Yes, I'm a bastard, Can't help it, I think it's something I've mastered, There must be something I'm after, Am I a rapper or actor, Cause if I ain't a fucking rapper then I'm great at the latter. [Hook] (Improv) [Bridge] Where do I go, I don't know. [Hook] (Improv) [Bridge 2] We are very rare, But they are them, And we are many. [Verse 2] My Views From The 5, they couldn't stop it from happening, They didn't know the city that I'm from was just the half of it, My senses are apart of this, I shouldn't have to graph the shit, And that's just when I noticed they didn't care, they gonna laugh the shit off, I gotta get off, The pedestal I placed myself on, I don't deserve it, I hope they heard this, Cause all my fucking life I just been nervous, And honestly, I just blurred it out of my mind, All the good times, the bad times, The in between, I know I'm fucking selfish cause all I wanna see is... Me. (What does this mean?) [Outro] I heard from Drake they would rather hear about memories than enemies, Rather hear what was or will be than what is, Rather hear how you got it over how much it cost you, Rather hear about finding yourself and how you lost you, Rather you make this an open letter, About family and struggle and it taking forever, About hearts that you’ve broken and ties that you’ve severed, No doubt in my mind, that’ll make them feel better.
