[Verse]
I don’t give two shits
Gone talk a brick, get blue lips
I don’t think they knew this
For sure I’m gone go do shit that I ain’t done before
I was seeking plunder ‘fore I tucked & rolled
Engulfed up in this music
I really couldn’t lose it
But I get discouraged watching muhfuckers around me chasing bullshit
Had to realign, get back on the tracks, won’t miss the movement
Doing it with VA, home’s improving
When it get repetitive I jump to the next ship
Fuck a life jacket, my life precious but so’s adreneline
Man I’ve been really lit
Probably been a dick but won’t admit to it
Love my home city but I ain’t missing it
Woah oh, when it rain it gets cold
& they tryna entrap me, won’t wrap no chain ‘round my soul
I don’t need saving, don’t need no one to pay for my goals
When it rain it get cold & I ain’t ate a bite since last morn’
So I may be shaking for a couple reasons undiagnosed
But as long as you don’t catch me all alone you all good
I got good men around me that’s gone tell me not to floor it
‘Cause they all wanna see us flourish
But I got more shit on my mind than I can sort through it
Don’t think I’m going through it but I probably am
I just got different ways of going through it
Gotta zoom in ‘less you willing to get close to it

WOODS

[Verse]
Came out the woods, they don’t make ‘em like they should
Gotta find your footing ‘fore you get lost in the world
I got impossible goals that I gotta reach
Ain’t no one gone build no fence in front of me
& maybe you just can’t see all the sun in me
But I never let ‘em get off with sonning me
Obviously, I got something troubling me
I got lots of love in me but that ain’t gone escape till you quit bugging me
Get the fuck with interrupting me, bro
Treat me as a god, only open your mouth when you on your knees hoe
Please go, life ain’t no game I can’t find no cheat codes
People singing on my moves, think they Cee Lo
Came out the woods where they don’t make ‘em like they should
Cold hearted, we just tryna bottle up & judge
I can’t blame if I partook, but I show a difference
I totally get it, we all tryna get it
& it’ll get to your head cause we really ain’t submissive
We ain’t gone dismiss shit, we get right to our business
That’s how we were raised & nobody’s gonna lift it
Pass up the praise, that ain’t really why we in it
[Outro]
I got all day for this bullshit
Got all day for your
Fuck that

[Verse]
Don’t point a finger in my direction
Watch what you say, don’t let a puddle you step in
Ever slip your step up, keep a leg up on whoever tryna trip
I don’t keep a list but if I did, wait
I can’t see the end, I can’t find a reason to pretend
I might hold my breath but when I speak that shit gone stick
I speak my truth, no fibs, got no reason to be slick
I’m spread too thin, what I got left to give
I left what kept me going to be selfish, cruise control
My self respect been through the roof
I been acting stupid, downright foolish, I’m just tryna live through it
I’m just tryna wake up another day & get to it
Whatever I make of the time the sun’s up
After that, it’s back to racks, I’m gone stack the funds up
I don’t think I’ll live past when the fun’s up
I don’t ever get up when the sun does
Hell not gone treat me worse than a sauna
Be patient your honor, I gotta lot of shit ahead of me to conquer
Just know I been fucked up with my partner
Maybe I don’t even need to bother, but
Maybe I’m a monster, maybe I’m too focused on my problems
To ever be worth a shot I’m on my marksman
& I’m just being honest
& maybe at the end of it all that’s been my problem

WEIGHT

[Verse]
I don’t do shit for show
Why you watching me, I gotta know
What if I don’t upload another post
Fuck this social shit just gain my trust, we’ll talk about our goals
& I’ll put five on it if you just tryna sit down & smoke
Once I awoke, I rolled over & scorched up last night’s roach
That’s how it goes, gained independence but never lost sight of crowd control
Till everything out your control then what we gone do next
Who you gone consult & who’s there to watch your back
I never asked these questions till I saw ‘em switch
Till I saw ‘em dip, split from the ship when they thought we’d wreck
But I seen stormy seas ahead of me for miles
I never jumped the side, I braced the ride with a smile
I ain’t prayed a lot when I’m down, I probably should though
Confessions on my mind, I be on bullshit all the time
Least I ain’t settled down, let myself feel like I let ‘em down
I just realized that the crown ain’t really all that it’s made out to
Now I’m just tryna feel good though
Spend some time with my good folk
Never know what tomorrow brings so I treat tonight like it’s worth more
& I’m worth my weight in gold, fuck what you been told
I’m tryna spend less time alone but it gets really old

BEAM (feat. Levi Hinson)

[Verse 1: Levi Hinson]
Been wylin since triple zero, my origin
Stumbling through trouble and mumbling "where the porridge is?"
I need the top peeled back like oranges
Really ain't no telling what this rap life encourages
I need the exact amount, in the bag, can't torrent this
Like, I am so 2014 forest hills
Way I gotta run it these days
Nice watch, still I struggle to remember these days
They know the boy so free though
And I keep the pen up in the pen like Greedo
Screaming two syllables, the boy so CeeLo
Keeping my plottin under wraps like kilos
I am not the type to self snitch
Motherfucker I spent way too much time digging myself outta ditches
Every time I go to drop it's like Christmas
I see them kids, they wanna know how I live
That's why I’m dropping these films, my face plastered for replay
Ask me for advice, all I can say is to keep safe
Every rap line that I’ve written is like a keepsake
TM things baby, had to tell em keep pace
See the major keys that I say on these beats
Don't let nobody disguise it or ever come in between
I’m a national treasure, and since I started it rap's getting better
So I can't let no one hold a vendetta
Without arriving on stretchers
It's time to lace up baby
I run this beat like a Sketcher
And all they doin is pester
My raps cleaner and fresher than the Forces I lay in front of the dresser
Don't ball up the problems, let's just address it
I be fighting with depression
All them times that I can't help but feel I’m stuck
Shit
So when it comes to writing lines the only thing that I cannot give is a fuck
[Verse 2: Drew Famous]
Fuck
Fuck y’all
Don’t scratch out another line on my paper please
Skip to the future, I’m gone shoot you with my laser beam
Wish I was born in 2020, who knows if I’d still lace up beats
I’m just tryna see what happens to the waste we leave
That’s what I think bout when I’m high as a bitch
I been wasted so much damn time just trying to fit
But fuck that shit, I’m just tryna exist
& do my shit, ball my fist if you tryna get a hit in
& I’ma never miss one
Keep swinging till the end of the inning
Keep spinning in the midst of this life we living
& please don’t get it twisted, if you want it you can get it
I could never let up or let life wash over me
You don’t impress me, I ain’t hyped up by who oversees
I racked up streams overseas, but I totally believe
If I popped up no one would notice me
Fuck being noticed please, prefer to keep to myself
These bitches be nosy, cleaning my damn sheets
Got OJ in my canteen, fuck living fancy
Sometimes I be going in like I got the whole world on her hands & knees
& I woke up in the morning to her blowing up my phone talking bout
I can’t even stand, sheesh
I can’t even stand, sheesh
I can’t even stand me, but
Swear to God on top this world I’m gone be standing

INVASION
01:05
|

[Verse]
Live life like I’m in hibernation
Gone pop out when I need to get supply, I rarely show my face &
I been focused on myself, maybe that’s hiding way & waiting
Might disguise it as an act of patience
But that’s a lie I’m really too anti-invasive
Ain’t no sense in saying what’s on everybody’s mind
More fun in making changes
More fun in seeing everybody’s side
Fuck the fake shit, I’ma take my side when everybody ride
& I don’t fuck with everybody, why
I’m selective, everything ain’t worth your while
Get up off your pedestal but stop wasting your time
I got problems with letting certain people close to my drive, I
Speak on a need to know basis
I ain’t gone insert myself into your conversation
I ain’t gone stay still for long I’m scared to get complacent
If I make it your way it ain’t personal, it’s not long that I’m staying
You get what I’m saying
I know I’m a rarity, I ain’t bout to waste it
Don’t treat me like a charity
I don’t want your dollar but I’ll make it

DIP

[Verse]
You can cry to me all you want cause I think I’m over crying to you
Why aren’t you, wondering why I been snapping, don’t you know how I do
Look I don’t gotta go down the hatchet, I don’t wanna be reminded bout past shit
You know I been batshit crazy bout you for the longest & maybe I been way too strong for the both of us
Maybe I just need myself, baby I just need some help
I got a whole wide world ahead of me to figure out
& I still don’t know what I’m about
I hate being honest sometimes
I don’t wanna talk to nobody about why I’m always inside
Always in hiding
Always in love with the thought of what could be & never what is
I’m not stable enough to steer two separate ships
There was so much pressure that you took off of me but I think it kept me driven a bit
I know it ain’t right, it is what it is
I know it’s my fault, I know what I did
But I hope that I could be forgiven
Know we were different, know I just dipped
I got dismissive
I became what I said I wouldn’t be & I wouldn’t be that for you
Lots of apologies lacked for you
I swear I’m sorry & maybe one day I could possibly be more than that for you
Baby that’s my bad

MISSILE
01:14
|

[Verse]
& I’m on 99.9999999999
Lost in sight, life ain’t bright, bro I almost lost my mind
Vision tight, I can’t give up, but I gotta get alive
Fuck a 25 to life, I’m almost 25 through life
But I seen homies hit a 100 ‘fore 20 no suicide
I won’t waste my moment, every morn’ I wake up do or die
Do it for yourself cause no one else gone offer help
I don’t sympathize with hell I give it to ‘em
Got God flowing through my veins, seen soldiers almost lost their way
I light a missile for ‘em
Don’t you misconstrue it
Everybody got a different truth but you my Judas
I don’t trust your movements
You always standing behind my back but not ‘fore where my shoes went
Out of sight & out my memory, seen a lot of false imagery
But the possibility’s I might lose it
You can’t knock me off my feet, I’m criminal with the smooth shit

PIECE

[Hook]
& if I wake another day make sure I say my praise
But for the night I’m on the edge, living dangerously
Thankfully I never let ‘em break my speed
Never let ‘em slow my reach, won’t hold no piece up for the peace
I’m free
& if I, & if I, & if I, & if I, uh
& if I wake another day make sure I sing my praise
But for the night I’m on the edge, living dangerously
Thankfully I never let ‘em break my speed
Never let ‘em slow my reach, won’t hold no piece up for the peace
Oh jeez
[Verse]
Ain’t bout the sea it make me seasick
Homies saying peep this, got the P’s in, we gone run it up on Jesus
Ooh, that ain’t really none of my business
Split a piece with me I’m sticking to this free shit-
