im chillin yea, im chillin
hit the blunt let the smoke rise to the ceiling
all i send is love to my competition
[Repsyte]:
got dank but its not about that
time to turn around rap
peace god now they know I'm really bout that
life
so sure I won't have to shout that twice
have you ever been to south central?
they can take you out simple
lay you down really
these niggas aint playin around with you
not a gangster but theres crips who
will bang it with no issue
because you claim you got a blood relative
hangin around with you
be careful of who says they're staying down with you
and being too proud will be leading the unproud to miss you
better believe i'll sacrifice my pride
have my possessions
I actually like my life
but i'll never put my rights aside
just because you might decide
it should all be over tonight
better know that i'll fight
let me keep flowing these rhymes
keep growing with time
leave alone the loner to write..
I'm just…
chillin yea, im chillin
hit the blunt let the smoke rise to the ceiling
all i send is love to my competition...
[Profit]:
Place me as different, cut from a different cloth
you have a different style, I have a tinder box.
I like to bust out a rap about whatever though
i think it keeps me sharp, keeps me clever, and on my toes.
Heaven knows I have a fire inside me
but as along as I keep breathing, dawg, that fire supplies me.
That desire is blinding, but even though my weakness shows
Stevie knows that won't deny me.
I'm so so irie but I'm an Irish kid
and I'm so-so rhyming.. but I like this shit!
Dont spite on this, I'm high as shit and I'm just puffin around.
You left your Mace at home? No Biggie dawg, we're runnin the town
Any threats present themselves, we peel off and we smash
cuz through all the drama my karma will pay off in laughs.
TMG and The Exception, dawg, we make all the tracks
you can relate to, now tell me, who has a problem with that??

trying to throw me off of my focus?
forget that, I'll sit back and roll this
hold this in? I think not
we're all a psychological mess
life looks like an ink blot
I'm fortunate to even see the light of day
but who's to say i still can't see 16 shots?
won't let the fear drive me to stay in
theres too many beautiful scenes to play in
we're all actors on stage according to Shakespeare
the audience is applauding when you stand up and face fear
it may takes years, but the hope never lessens
things change so quickly gotta cope with progression
something new every day keeps my flow interesting
money is tight but its alright i'll grow from the tension
attention thrown for a loop
going in circles with negativity
my heads like Kennedy
blown from the shots thrown by liars who want to hide the truth
one day they'll find it too
I pray its not way too late by the time they do
I'm still the most insecure don't know who I'm trying to fool
my minds a tool that I can use to better myself
even if i never get help
my minds a tool that I can use to better myself
even if i never get help
thats why I stay loving how I'm coming along
hell yea I got problems but nothing is wrong
since nothing is perfect
the struggle is worth it
just rubbing the surface of coming to purpose
had enough of hurting the person
who's there for me most
cuz i never cared to be close
I want to change all that so tomorrow
I won't have to say all that….
I hear the..
cry for attention and love
but they'd rather call you crazy
and give you some drugs
I know its hard to find..
anyone who will listen
when you want to scream an ear splitting cry
its ok I'm here with ya
Fly to the heights where they can't just pull us down
no chance to fool around because
we'll be damned if we don't do it now!

ever changing
never breaking
clever stating how I'm living
every day I'm meditating.
I see a difference in how I see them living now
give up the body, do it
no need to wish it
use the intuition
make moves
but this tango takes two
get schooled
without paying tuition
keep the bitchin to yourself
no one will listen
forget it if they miss it I'm still on my mission
I'm busy
rich in the sense that I know how pay attention
but the instance I'm rolling in riches they want to know my business
like "oh em gee, I didn't know you did this"
oh well.. theres a fuck! I didn't know you'd give this!!!
oh holy ghost please
let them know they don't know me
still judging the old me
but I'm growing so fast...
HOLY MOLY =0
oh holy ghost please
let them know they don't know me
still judging the old me
but I'm growing so fast...

fresh slate but still
my flesh takes to temptation
can't stand my skin
hate the situation I'm in
but i love the feeling
still haven't done enough to thrill,
coming to grips with what is real and
damn it, my mind cant handle it!!
Manic and frantic
this disadvantage has me in a panic
wishing i could manage energy like Gambit
Rather be wealthy and unhealthy
than broke eating a caesar salad
seems like there will always be a challenge
my parents teach me to seek a balance
that they don't even have shiiiiiiiit
really…. who should I listen to?
they say they spit the truth
I won't believe it till I get the proof
its a trip having my mind on this high
i barely even noticed all the time that went by
stuck in a rut with no luck
just a hole in my gut
and these unbust nuts
from not giving a fuck

Theres an underlying pressure that pushes you to step up,
so when you need a helping hand you wouldn't even question
who to lean on, but the thing wrong about that is...
How can you think for yourself if you never get to practice?
The repetition has it sticking like a cactus
from getting cash quick to flipping on a mattress..
If you fall off.. just get back in.
Sometimes, its hard to understand like an accent
Other times, you never know how it happened,
but it did, you live with it, and thats it!
If I could change it, my fashion would be action.
Doing what I love the most, not caring for reaction.
Only one life to give it still could never seem enough,
thats why we all make a fuss and pray for an angel once in a while.
But it keep it spontaneous until we combust!
Not hanging on anyone but the people we can trust.
Thats whats most valuable in my life.
Every single move is like showing you a highlight.
Really want to shine bright? better get your mind right
Do it EVERY second... not only when the times right.
Since I have no time to waste, I better throw those dirty old lies away.
Pest test my will, but I'll find a way so the past won't overcast what I have TODAY.

Take It

if theres a chance, I'll take it.
expectations? i'll break them
even if I don't win, my body won't be aching
A sore loser will always want to see you
hurt and bruising
so they're secretly meaning it when they say break a leg
we came to play
just trying to get a slice of pie, hoping we can take the cake
till then I'm chillin
the highest in all black like the ace of spades
since this clocks a weight on my shoulders like Flava Flav
no better change of pace than living day to day
the only time is now
hell no, we can't do this at a later date
never skeptical, always look for the best in you
life is a battle, I'm the soldier next to shoot
the cannon that'll have them spazzin
but where theres a man down, I can heal him with understanding
thrown sadden vibes, the average won't catch it
cuz it still looks like I'm dancing through the masses' rose colored glasses

NO different than you
I wasn't first on this earth to be birthed a King
life may hand me lemons
but its worth it if I'm earning the squeeze
bursting these verses keeps me
learning how to turn it to sweet
lemonade
more than a minute made
I've been a slave to this pen and page
had timid days, been afraid out of my brain
before I hit the stage
get me blazed and its an instant change
renegade with the lips to tame a wicked flame
this part of me hardly wants to hide the heart of me
arteries of honesty has me ending every sentence with "pardon me"
but I'm really not sorry.. please!
gotta get mine until me and the coffin meet
don't stop the beat
pump that bass, its the blood in my veins
they're just trippin on the high from drugs and fame
won't ever understand how much people love what they say
then i guess i'll be the one to push something to change
I gotta let it go
and hope.. it'll come back to me.

usually complacent
turned student of the ages
using information the way
they say "you could be a Mason"
you can love it, you could hate it
won't mean I'll change it
had many replacements but it'll never be the same, shit
food for thought, you really need to taste it
I'm in the flow like a smooth pick and roll
dish it then get it back something like a give and go
respect the technique
so fresh like crest
difficult is nothing
check my chemical make up
realize how difficult it is to wake up
atoms collide when I'm rapping my lines
It matters
if only to me, but I'm still just the latter
climbing ladders in my social status
has them screaming I'm the baddest
looking at me like I have them
but I'm still looking for the answers
on a quest, never rest
forever watching as I'm working
dropping this hip hop never stopping until I'm perfect

No sleep in my future...
Hyper ventilating at the thought that time isn't waiting
What is it that I'm chasing?
Whether love, money, or education..
I'm on it with no hesitation.
Meditation soothes my agitation more than medication.
The sensation has my pen waitin'.
Compensating isn't what I'm contemplating,
they haven't seen freedom like this since the President's inauguration.
Conversation with God is making me honest.
Staying on top of my game to stop the hate.
Tempting images on TV has me reaching to turn off the station..
Selling embellished fetiches, its hellish.. they burn off of Satan.
Death is celebrated.. they mourn often.
Save it!!!
Not the moment.. but the times of idle talking.
Waiting..
For a savior but no one puts in the labor the way that they often say it.
My people can sing together, tribal in the recital.
Rivals pointing out rifles, I still deny them a title.
When I speak they think I'm quoting disciples who wrote the Bible.
Why fight you when I'm just like you?
Breathe, eat, weep, sleep, and bleed just like I do.
This is why I write you...
Feeling like I could die soon.
