This is my story my life my dreams
Can you relate I'm lost at sea
Eyes clouded by all these trees
Now I see how reality breathes
May 97 swept past 28 days
All the same life went an gave my name
Deep in the forests and swamps I'd lay
Coyote screams leak in window frames,
Learned nature of life at an early age
The good die young weakness is prey
You wanna live forever an escape fate
Our dreams lucid so forget that display,
Don't charge the game listen an wait
Hate lights up neon in bars charades
Don't mime others actions dispel fake
Empty promises see through if it's made,
What do I make from that? Just hate
You don't have cash so we'll do a trade
Your life for an opportunity to elevate
Survivals built off blood banked
This is my story my life my dreams
Can you relate I'm lost at sea
Eyes clouded by all these trees
Now I see how reality breathes
Growin up rap took me at once
Parents never got it rhythms stuck
Lyrics spoke to my soul cleared head of dust
Polished morals so they shine from rust,
Moving forward one way my engine chugs
Smoking weed at 13 breathing harms lungs
Swallowing smog lookin down so smug,
Believe they're better trustin only their funds
If I was rich greens the color I would love
Some family had wealth care shown none
I got a chip on my shoulder with little trust,
Aimin to build a bank invest back in day ones
Can't change my past but a future's done
Gotta succeed life taught me we live once
Pay off parents debts before I turn to dust
This is my story my life my dreams
Can you relate I'm lost at sea
Eyes clouded by all these trees
Now I see how reality breathes
97 I was descended from heaven
What's life on the other side I question
Swear I seen death pass as a vision
Sometimes you hear truth if you listen,
Sickening some lie sleep on any mission
Goals better yourself not run from conditions
Feeling like an alien if my nation seditions
Who knew acceptance requires petitions,
Why's immigrant different to native citizens
Havin 1 percentage don't claim a tribal nation
Spelunking for gold recording this cave in
Stuck in place dreams wither as shades grin,
Chasing a connection this societies plastic
Bend in frustration in life just remain elastic
There's 6 rules to life mains being fantastic
Life is Strange open a 3rd eye if it's drastic
This is my story my life my dreams
Can you relate I'm lost at sea
Eyes clouded by all these trees
Now I see how reality breathes (x2)

People hate my state and city please
I prefer to be underrated when I'm seen
So much better when truth's made clean
Why lose our identity like other scenes,
Sound of my city's more than screams
We got hearts of soul that always bleed
Crowns of thorn crumbles with dreams
Underdog Pistons constantly it seems,
I embody a contradiction of my beliefs
Lyrics of anger while calling for peace
In a direct line to God I'd never speak
There's nothing to say I live what I see,
Do no evil but in Motown I'm complete
Summers cold but love fades in heat
Michigan's tetanus for a different breed
Guess it's the rust on spoons we eat
Relate to me my city's more than death
Talking on K/D but life leaves some deaf
Spirits can't speak only spread by dread
Drink for success rather than mine lead,
Respawn spent one chance for success
Tadpole to egg society's larva never rest
Gotta grow to mine just to go invest
Spoken but words will never indent,
Paragraph of pain dice cubes for breath
Puzzled? Raise spirits quarter what's set
Shine against jackals collect what's left
Pulling teeth answers always spent,
Pay for truth if you can handle the debt
Owed honesty never what's ever cent
Pennies for thoughts mine this trench
Despise corrupt government instead

Activist

Activist in the trench so many try to blick
Can't afford hospital bills leaving us sick
Speak out getting beaten all over again
Make a stand tortured and killed again,
Stuck in this never ending rendition
Many act militant under any condition
But fall back against any opposition
America an Belarus will it ever get fixed
The revolution ain't televised
This society's on a wild ride
Dictators demand an cops comply
Choking people strangling life
Life's concrete in sprawling steel trees
Cracks in this asphalt always bleed
Rocks crumbling communities to sleep
It's a stones throw away from the elites,
From glass houses crushing our speech
Dialects restricted by steel toes in streets
Don't swallow your words if it costs teeth
Ask why they never want you to speak,
They'd rather see us kill all as we bleed
It's bipolar reality with this personality
Don't rush to dirt just to plant seeds
It's better ways to check trees & see green,
Don't ask for help just to build a monopoly
Life ain't a game calculate carefully
Diaspora in this beat is life's morality
Don't question the method enjoy mortality
The revolution ain't televised
This society's on a wild ride
Dictators demand an cops comply
Choking people strangling life
Gotta code switch be taken seriously
The people like me who speak? Not many
Beat down KGB badges always grow
Murdering our language I'll make it flow,
Why's our language limited to home
I swear growing up time moved so slow
Now I'm speeding just so love will show
Gotta be quick to succeed on this road,
Don't be too fast cracking open a coke
If you wanna bag success just to blow
Package success with an actual goal
Your image is pictured if you ever show,
Televised because prison is your host
Some try to get close for some toasts
Others shake hands you're their hope
End of the day none will save or cope
The revolution ain't televised
This society's on a wild ride
Dictators demand an cops comply
Choking people strangling life
Trying to X leaders for waking the sleep
Martin to Catholics inspire infallibility
They murder for making truth seen
Why you think truth won't set scenes,
They'd rather choke others life for green
The only color here that reigns supreme
Privledge to dead presidents is nobility
That's why WASP call it blood money,
Inherit off sweat from others deeds
Why have equality truth's in equity
Claim to stand for anothers dreams
All while a heel restricts will to breathe,
Issue is I can't see in society
Blind to others plastic mentality
Soulless dreams you chase the greed
American dream exists to stifle needs

Humble

Humble life is change not strange
Butterfly effect if jackknifes strain
Price of life switches down a blade
Cut for life? Don't box in we gravitate,
Iron your core tunnel till tremors shake
Take light stabs at survival blood reigns
Slayer with the metal leads all I ever lay
Worms wriggling in dirt hook then prey,
Stay clean death notes Light for cheese
Suspend disbelief Ryuk a piece in threes
L's double up lame leads grip if you speak
Line up the shot just to bat when we eat,
Soup their brains melting pot to the heat
Lighting bars like these it's 300 degrees
Recess for peace depress every sheet
Cover up facts with me they always sleep
Humility is strength pride is great
Greed needs green to eat in fate
Patience won't give time to wait
Gotta do what I do for some change
You speed through streets smoking rubber
Whaling bitches scream if I gun a stutter
Pockets fat got em sobbing as I blubber
Call me Brainard mind on green to flubber,
Oceans concrete murk clowns who flounder
Made man? You clean my mess for power
I rock a trident Tryzub up you rushin to cower
Little mermaids drowning trying to tower,
Wipe the slate clean plottin Robin today
Stamp a Red X villainous in visions I take
Apprentice to the knight winged with a Drake
Masked with fung shway in Shade I'm Slade,
Air em out radio support they'll Sway
Got starfire raven for light work to change
Beast with the dirt Terra bitch with a fade
Bodies spud by burying this page
Cuban links got necks ready to choke
Surf turf just to scarface hope
Real money? Dirtier than dope
Oil & diamonds bleed but go tote,
Get away clean in mink coats
Act like ya deadly wit a boast
Fried brains then gave a toast
Egghead scrambled to break bread,
Burnt on the side it's Harvey Dent
Two-faced snaked till the wire bent
Flipped wit a coin landed on heads
Live humble instead
Humility is strength pride is great
Greed needs green to eat in fate
Patience won't give time to wait
Gotta do what I do for some change

Scammed

I'm here for a good time living life
You're only copping pleas don't die
Live it to the fullest it's a wild ride
Faded till I've totally lost my mind
Pass the liquor open beer under weather
Sick of same old same old just a stoner
Not a killer step up wrong see a smoker
Life's too short to stunt me from flower,
Smell roses Budden so I'll go to tower
Babylon the beat where others will cower
Accolades are never needed for power
Ghost the bitch in a champagne shower,
Delinquents all they'll ever encounter
Told me she wants me to go rougher
Memory id like to forget call me a cheater
Don't blame me if you got a hot mother,
Don't blame me cause your friends hotter
Told me it's benefits we're not together
Can't call me fraud cause single's better
She's calling again I hit ignore forever
I'm here for a good time living life
You're only copping pleas don't die
Live it to the fullest it's a wild ride
Faded till I've lost my mind!
Hitting another joint stretching the fire
Puff on oxygen to draw up the lighter
Sketching the way my mind gets lighter
Elevate to the moon ready my incisor,
Cut through the fog just flip this lever
Eat so many these bars I'm never sober
Chief keef till they permanently hover
Don't like to preach repping a chopper,
I'm a hell raiser impersonating a barber
Wake me from dreams in a flying saucer
Pray I don't fall off I'll put em in bowl cut
Their bitch'll grind super fine to be blunt,
Wrap her in my paper present the cunt
Too slow to keep up but I'm not a dunce
Sad when I walk in clowns get cucked
Gotta leave her cheaters I'll never trust
I'm here for a good time living life
You're only copping pleas don't die
Live it to the fullest it's a wild ride
Faded till I've totally lost my mind

Contradiction

Yeah I'm a contradiction lil bitch
Listen but hop off of my dick
Not my issue you fell for a trick
Pistol on me bodies with the Wick
You wanna know how I do this listen quick
Carry the torch just don't burn a bridge
Knot the rope but never noose for a lift
Selling out's suicide go execute that drift,
Tires screech supe a ride to cape shifts
Listen for engines to chug just for a hiss
Check in cause talons always got a grip
Just make sure you never save that bitch,
We call her cobra snaking for some dick
Gotta have an eagle eye to spot a script
Fly through making bird calls just to flip
Hognose with a switch their nostrils drip,
Check her motions the pussy's an ocean
Sharks circlin with made up commotion
Avoid the back door the front's promotion
Be yourself don't fake condition
Yeah I'm a contradiction lil bitch
Listen but hop off of my dick
Not my issue you fell for a trick
Pistol on me bodies with the Wick
Get fit counter all dividends gettin made
Why scam they can't tell real from fake
Wanna be in any gang looking lame
Regardless of cliques pistols shake,
No need to kill paper opens trades
Sign my check dot lines an I's to wake
Pop off juice too sweet for certain fates
Runt since a kid leaf cash not rake,
Tryzub up tridents gettin displayed
Pahonia on my chest shield wit a blade
Don't gotta be iced out they want the fame
Need plaque of diamonds to coat my name,
Long-sleeve roaring cold if winter flakes
Avoid war we'll always force you to break
Always represent for Belarus an Ukraine
Russian what happens if you escalate
Yeah I'm a contradiction lil bitch
Listen but hop off of my dick
Not my issue you fell for a trick
Pistol on me bodies with the Wick

Lost in the sauce girl I'm a boss
Ridin with him that's a major loss
Dance an show me how you floss
God you're good don't look so cross
Don't check my pockets I got a rocket
Ballistic when I kick it off launching hits
Wanna bless up hex em whenever I spit
Fuck karma fung shway a clowns clique,
Juggle O's with ease juice a pussy quick
Rotate 180 run it rock with the wrist
Fucked their bitch claiming that I'm a lick
I am what they believe bless that I'm rich,
Pray for them I'm just here to see her strip
Too many trip getting laced up and slip
Focus on the money don't save that bitch
Wanna shine aim figures higher than 6,
Too many walk in clubs actin like Wick
Getting fired up careful when getting lit
Some keep lighters for wax don't miss
I'm here for a good time not provin shit
Lost in the sauce girl I'm a boss
Ridin with him that's a major loss
Dance an show me how you floss
God you're good don't look so cross
Put em to sleep make eyes X over clout
Say they fly as a bird Reasonable Doubt
I'm a Bad Boy tell Larry he's a clown
Adidas stomping em if they really down,
Screamin loud flockin through the crowd
Not surprised they dropped to the ground
Why you try to knock off peoples frowns
No smilin before I had dreams in town,
Gothic homes built stacks by the pound
Tell me why they're gone every round
Tryin box me in that ain't very sound
Ears to a message lost an never found,
Skies the limit I zone past the clouds
It may storm drinkin but never drown
Scale growth weighin bars dent crowns
Comin clean told me she'll buss it down
Lost in the sauce girl I'm a boss
Ridin with him that's a major loss
Dance an show me how you floss
God you're good don't look so cross
Dance for me I got plenty of cheese
Dance for me I know you got needs
Dance for me don't tell me the deeds
Set him up then hand over the deets,
Backdoor that fiend sipping on lean
Lead mixing with fentanyl dreams
Really think you OG as you sleep
Knocked out on syrup an a little tease,
Was it worth acting out just to bleed
How you wilding out knowing this city
Went for some fun price was steep
Now you face down brains on a sheet,
Learn from others don't envy green
Don't follow pussy gotta take the lead
Dog hoes she'll beg with a please
Block the bitch or someone will creep

Taken in by extended family band the brass
Trumpet stacks? You'll die over some cash
Stingy in this republic can you ever blast?
Demo crazy life's political corrupt so I last,
Think you'd survive with the will of glass?
Transparencies an easy rock to crash
Hunt diamonds snare anybody camp
See through junkies in songs I trap,
Family's there wolfin down copycats
Pigs in blankets pushin cap that's fax
Separate reality an facts in any my raps
Just cause I sleep on most they go nap,
Think I'm lying is on you I'll really snap
International ties suit up to ship the tax
Ocean or skies these depths gotta crash
Dummies checking life sign to box a task
I'm high demand
Tap in the Beats telling you to listen
Taught by the best share this lesson
This a song for grip on life to lessen
Don't be afraid of death only hell or heaven
I'll go the con way when everybody's food
Like Conway it's survival in an out a booth
Pusha coupe they shine the golden goose
Boman arrows a margin gotta aim to shoot,
Dope to most dogs eat from palms for truth
Teachers pet a junkie sacrifices youth
Illuminate pyramid schemes for the proof
Candy's cheaply packaged set by WHO?,
Organize health this world's too uncouth
What's a cog to the machine point's moot
Shine your teeth and smile problems root
Gift presence I choose to strugglebar you,
Things come natural in whatever I go do
Can't stand the fake sickening to peruse
Saw the real use heat to smoke the flue/flu/floo
This a fire place where devils really grew
Tap in the Beats telling you to listen
Taught by the best share this lesson
This a song for grip on life to lessen
Don't be afraid of death only hell or heaven
Legends from Detroit the Chi an KC-MO
Rust on the belt snaps to shine an grow
Normal to wear shorts if it's fourty below
Step wrong a .40 raps they flow in snow,
Knock on their soul staring in the window
Home invasion read minds know I'm dope
Bust shots pause for effect if they show
Strapped up life's a movie who you know,
The greatest will say I'm too thorough
Up to scrape the sky looking for growth
They go for broke breakin will's my M.O.
Modus Operandi love life as I go to toke,
My family scribbles bars prescript hope
Doctor reality warp life check for smoke
Inferno with lyricism other regions cope
Midwest epic watch us author timecode,
Automate souls package em if we tote
B2R2 an BMG my family never cloak
Question us you'll get chopped to coke
Indomitable bars causin others to choke
Tap in the Beats telling you to listen
Taught by the best share this lesson
This a song for grip on life to lessen
Don't be afraid of death only hell or heaven
This is my life ready for the competition?
We vary and exceed on any condition
Too many think they know our nation
Midwest to the death tetanus their vision,
Can't see the Great Lakes bigger mission
This games on lock check my prediction
We're the greatest to speak so listen
Nostradamus flow in this rendition
