Raw Bounce
Verse 1
Every time that I write I feel compelled to sight/ all the steps that I took form the left to the right/from school yard fights 2 singin 4 Christ/livin a raw life just to keep on the lights/ hunger pains no ends kept me out all night/with a bottle of O.E. and a spliff to light cause I aint see a purpose 4 a kid like me/ pockets with holes old clothes n wack sneaks/ all the cool kids in class always pickin on me/ I mean, I mean until I dropped they cool ass in the street/ no chips in my bag no bets on me /no love no congrats jus drags n bookbags/ a board to skate pass the past of my bad's/ like billboard ads or a hundred yard dash/ but now I’m in the runnin like a hundred yard stash/ loving how i'm living under God’s Compass/ told me to rebel with the pad and the pen/ and now I’m on tracks spittin facts like flem
Chorus rap:
Whether ya young or old u gotta go 4 yours If u could endure Then the world is yours Know ya spirit is pure Then the worlds is yours No time to depend on the words of men Self-Love is kin to making things happen so jus listen up my man don’t forget No matter the conflict The world is yours t he world is who? the world is yours

Just take me to that place Where my whole mind blanks Just ink, just ink, just ink just ink x2

Had a momma and a poppa who was junkie workaholics/ never seen them like Osama/ hit me hard then a drummer/ in the streets like a sauna get it hot up in the summer/ escape in my slumber no heart like hunter/ prolific hieroglyphic kicking' street life drama/ cant deny the speech from here or out yonder/ father once know as a wild motherfucker/ gun buck ya in the bar taking dollars from ya mother/while, my mother worked hard just to get a little supper/ hot rice and butter for that I aways love her/ message in the action couldn’t see when I was younger/ growth in the spirit with knowledge like splinta/ master that is/ i'm a grown ass kid/ laughin at everything /happiness is kin/ well happynes is kin when graspin your dreams/ so gimme drum loops n scoops of raw beats - Track Name: Only Be

Only Be
Verse 1
Walking for hours, searching for days, going inside and out my own head
Trying to find exactly what makes me different from all of them
It is said that we’re created in our own ways
So why do I constantly try to be what I see
Pre-hook
I don’t have time
To worry ‘bout what they think of me
Cause in the end I gotta be content with who I am
Do you think it’s right
To continue to deny
Our own hearts and our own minds
Oh I’ll tell you I
Chorus:
I can only be what the creator has made of me
I cannot conform my spiritual-musicuality x2
Verse 2:
People say so I’ve heard
They know exactly what they want
Money cars n diamond rings
All the best of material things
What ever happen to equality revolution finding the solution
We’re living in confusion
Pre-hook repeat
Repeat chorus
Verse 3:
Subliminal material blurring up the visuals giving praise to criminals degrading all our principals interest in ignorance mindsets of prisoners silence the genocide n sneek attack the little ones give them guns give them drugs kill the mind smoke the blunt curse the judge dodge n duck from the cops while different states race 2 get the murder rate up keep the money in the socks find a feen and serve the rocks see this is my world n this is my block dirty cops keep watch like master with his crops real talks unheard so my words leave marks spark thoughts n heal scars unlock broken doors reach far like mars breathing hope into the young teaching them self love empowering actions givin more options than goin out like a G like 25 to life n not being free 25 to life not bein free getting shot on the block layin dead n deceased I know u wanna make it betta 4 ya family but who gone watch them if u dead in the streets I know u wanna make it betta 4 ya family but who gon watch them if u lost in the streets all I’m telling u is 2 use ya mind Knowledge equals no ledge so prepare 2 sky dive

Round and Round
Verse 1
started
to build something so uncommon
burning desire into flames
yearning
to feel something
more exotic
cutting the games down
to the chase
Pre-chorus
we fell so fast
not concerned if it last
stealing moments
that we both can grasp
i stare outside to release
whats in my mind
and I question
how will we
get by
Chorus
we go
round and around x3
we go
round and around x3
Verse 2
you say
my loves too immature to be pure
and in return
you I ignore
the hours are fading
and our situations getting worse
thinking our love has ran its course
Pre-chorus
we fell so fast
not concerned if it last
stealing moments
that we both can grasp
i stare outside to release
whats in my mind
and I question
how will we
get by
Bridge
wether good or bad
we cant get passed
and we stay
and we stay
and we cant get away
were back in forth
stuck in this mode
and we stay and we chase
and we cant get away

the way your eyes look
when your bodies so impatient]

the way it feels
my kind of guy
that won't give me up without a fight

arrest my cardiac giving charges to the plaintive

oh baby just like it would
just like it should

just get it like we should
but t aint even like that
so what i do
keep it under wraps
no point in the yaps
just cut off the traps
but its always calling me back
pre hook
it aint the best situation still
such a mental situation
the way ya eyes look
when ya bodies so impatient
arrest my cardiac
given charges to the plaintive
and yea you got my hands high

so u could have my contact
you could have my digits

we could have friendship
we could just kick it
we could have kinship
but maybe we shouldn't get into (x2)

Oh, I

I hope one day you'll find your way.

Energy:
Verse 1:
Straight off the pages of ya unseen comic/ atomic hotness, stays off the topic/logic, tumble from the sun God's closet/ Concept to powerful for ya onset/More complex than ya modern day projects/synopses adopted Bohemian climates/dissect the rains connect/ so my lip's sink cause the same effect/ risin the aquatic level of ya thoughts/Dive in the back of ya raised hair's spark/like the drive in ya back in the back of a car/or the autograph from ya favorite star/from afar caught up in the eye of my storm/
Wakin on the air with the cow and the spoon/
stumblin over the clouds and the moon/
see all I gotta do is say a word or two/ and I promise you I
Chorus:
I'll make ya heart scream
Off my energy
Something you've never seen
On center-folds of magazines
I'm in ya blood stream
Ya vital arteries
Just circulate and breath
and feed off my energy
Verse 2:
Got ya love shack nest on lock like chest/burried in the ocean of my lockness myth/Pressed for the sex thats bomb like threats/ tight like frets tuned on guitar necks/I bet my spread will have ya toast like bread/More intense than ya three times X/ Reaching ya apex before ya next breath/I'm cool and layed back not breakin a sweat/Keepin you on call just like ya day job/ the stroke of my touch got ya brain corrupt/stuck cause I knocked the block right off ya front/plucked right up in the pond of my minds napalm/
Caught up in the bars of my Lyrical Playground/Keepin me on my play like ya favorite station/No hesitation, no competition, no consolation and not to mention
Chorus Repeat
Verse 3:
They say I'm fresh and brand new like morning dew/Good for ya soul like moms chunky beef stew/True, in ya system I dilute/Have you feenin like a nicotine drag for my fumes/Few ever get the chance like clue/On my top like roofs, wanna rain my shoot/Keep em sick like flu or in like curfew/sneak out ya bedrooms in hopes to pursuit/Me, the most casual rare breed/ just stay in the cut like the back of ya jeans/Not in the lime light I just flip the switch/the light to your nitch/the thread in your stitch/Flow's so rebellious radio's expelled it/Compelled from the realm of the hoods nostalgic/Founded, in the barrio surrounded/I'm bout it and if you ever try to doubt it
Chorus Repeat
Breakdown
Just let ya feet move to my energy
Just let ya hands feel all my energy
Just let ya arms break to my energy
Just let ya legs sway to my energy
Just let ya eyes see all my energy
Just let ya body move to my energy
Just make ya joints pop to my energy
Just make sure feel all my energy
Just make sure you feed off my energy - Track Name: Retro

Retro
(jazz scats)
Verse 1
Don't need a tissue to dry this rhyme/let it leak from the peak deep in my mind/ horizontal design and I never rewind/pullin out the divine inspire the times/to scroll like the writings of the most high/pushin out my pipe dreams into overdrive/while im stealin my youngn's out the prison pipeline/ shown them success without selling white lines/oppressors beaten them with sticks and gun heads/blood pouring on steps aggravated environments/ put someone to death no name bullets taken out the harvest/ tear dropped prophets that reign in projects/ looking for progress in the heart of the problem/ with noway to dodge them and no way to log in to peace and stardom/ breath nights in harlem slept well departing'
Chorus:
Departing?
Departing!
Please pardon, my pardon
I know I, I often
Get lost in
my thoughts and
the darkness
it softens
my heart in
this moment
so pardon, my pardon
while I'm lost
in moments
Verse 2:
My doe is pay, so I'm never slow poke/stay on my go go like DC Go'Gos/ Come back like yoyo's/ shop down round soho/cop dope soles and walk-it-out on my dolo/known vintage retro connection the soul glow toes to my afro/ and since I was young bul I been successful/already know I got it goin on and you got it goin on/ we all children of the sun/ put here and begun way before I was born/ to roll the models for souls in bottles/explode to rock shows/hot granite off the stove told stories from before/revolutionary warfare in a heart of gold/ that could never be sold new sierra leon/ never no one's peon touchdown like dion/bright lights like neon to speak i breath on/tracks and lean on facts/detach my go backs to hear y'all clap/no not the clap that got son laid back/ but that clap that'll have/ y'all feet on stance romance the chance/ lance-free on prance/ cool like Freon from nissan vents/ glance at my chance that I won't get back/ so I break like an old school boy stance/ or the feeling in your chest from a young romance
