[Verse 1]
They wonder where I get my inspiration?
I tell 'em, I look in the mirror
I sit and analyze just what I would like to see
It's just the life in me.
They wonder where I get my inspiration?
I'm inspired by those who did it before me
Also the ones who adore me
Although the ones who ignore me give me that motivation.
They wonder where I get my inspiration?
From inside, the kid that's on the inside
I promised that boy this time I'm a dig in deep,
Show myself that I just don't live for myself
[Verse 2]
Sittin' in the fear of shit happenin' I have no control of
What if Steve Jobs passed before he invented the Mac?
A career with that I have, started on Garageband
But look here, makin' it this far wasn't part of my plans,
Yeah I paid attention in class,
I learned more from just being there
Yeah we visit the churches,
I'm still wonderin' why we're in fear.
Yeah our hearts' clean, you can let God tell you that.
Yeah I got peers who hit the blunt to keep their mind clear
Yeah, I got a portion of spirit I feel is barely tapped,
Look myself in the eye and wonder just what I'm staring at
Look myself in the mirror, wonder just I'm feelin'
I'm feelin' there's somethin' those in position are still concealing
Bad bitches and millions are so appealing,
Conspiracy theories of a villain, slowly revealin'
That physical isolation's enough to destroy a nation,
Plus the fear of others equals lack of motivation.
Searchin' for love, a picture that society painted
That if I ain't got it in that way, it ain't it
Which is why I'm on a mission to bring to fruition this vision,
Sit and look and listen.
Dodgin' deadly pestilence
Success is in my residence
I'm imagining having the evidence
And if you see it, that's excellent
And if UC is a college,
Then my knowledge is a scholarship
My vision is a scholar,
My confidence is all kind of shit
I'm convinced I'm accomplished,
I never woke up for class
I just prayed about it then passed
Was a chemist, but hated math
Under the radar, I made a graph
Up in the quasars, I take a bath
Nigga, I made stars, I made my path
Nigga was the nice guy that never finished last
I was the calm dude that always had to spazz on the beat
'Cause I held it in so much,
Hoppin' in front of the mic, then my life I recite
'Cause I might just be helpin' the both of us
Welcome to my world,
I hope you're closed, 'cause I'm openin' up
Victory's in my arm and I'm holdin' it up
Feel the squeeze in my palm
As I slowly ease and calm
The calm before the season storm
The flight that wasn't planned before the landin'
At the Terminal that never seemed to be at home.

[Intro]
Life...Uhh
(You can tell me where we go now 4x)
[Verse 1]
This is exactly what I was lookin' for
I found that inspiration after buying Take Care on iTunes and
Len Springs sittin' in my room while we had that conversation about how to make it
Especially when the previous day, me and Hitman ran into Kelis
And it made him say he's tired of feeling basic
Got the type of drive to make a V8 take off
Supercharged engine in a race with Nas
Your spacebar is my racecar, when you press play I'm makin' top
Speed off the get-off, pedal to the metal won't let off
I'm filling all the vacant spots, I've got a scene that I seen
In my dreams that let me know this is where the chasing stops
Shit I've worked so hard so that I could be the man
Walking in my shoes, need Jason's socks
Girls feel frisky when you really don't try
So I really can't lie, my patience stopped...
Never gave up, learned to face facts
And the fact of the matter is I'mma make shit hot
Put it in packaging, then I wait for the drop
Then watch me float on the way to the top
[Hook]
Said I've been waiting for this moment
Not just to be noticed, but those things I felt were hopeless
Won't go to a waste, I'm going in and out of focus
But that's the process of growing, and that's the cost of just knowing
That you would surely take off
I never thought being sober can make you feel so loaded
I'm fed up with these thoughts and now I think I'm feeling bloated
But with all this time devoted, I'll make sure that you know I'm a prodigy
I'm a prodigy, I'm a prodigy
[Verse 2]
Ever had that feeling where you're like 'fuck that shit I'm tired of the back?'
And all your friends that you starved with and tried to ball with got you wired to attack?
No matter how many times that you've tried
Got you feeling like you're sitting in the middle of a trap
Bout to cramp out in the middle of the track?
They just give you frowns and you smile right back?
Still in the struggle, why it feel like that?
Now niggas want to hang and ladies want to chat?
They just want to learn, and I just want to rap
But it's still all love cause the skill don't slack
Got that feeling...that this is how it feels before you make...
What the world will call it...
Freeze tag everytime I spit on track...
Noticing that moment...
Everytime my eyes close when instead of seeing them roaches
I'll be somewhere down the coast with the rest of Wrekless and records...
That are nominated for Grammys, my time has made what is plan B
Become A...plan that came in handy, yea!
[Hook]
Said I've been waiting for this moment
Not just to be noticed, but those things I felt were hopeless
Won't go to a waste, I'm going in and out of focus
But that's the process of growing, and that's the cost of just knowing
That you would surely take off
I never thought being sober can make you feel so loaded
I'm fed up with these thoughts and now I think I'm feeling bloated
But with all this time devoted, I'll make sure that you know I'm a prodigy
I'm a prodigy, I'm a prodigy

No One Else is Around

[Verse 1]
Sittin' in my new zone I made it sweet.
Bounce back from war,
But that's the price I had to pay for peace.
M.J. in Space Jam, they held me back, but I made it reach
Until I made a couple hits like Jordan in the Major Leagues
My hustle is legal enough to build a Visa
Had them pretty girls rockin' in their Keri Hilson features
I'm a certain type of feller/Need no misdemeanor
Need a certain type of swagger to perceive of this demeanor
We are Los Angeles ridin'/The city we reside in
In which made the game like either Tamara or Tia,
Either BeeGee rollin' tree up, or Wrekless at the Airport
Throwin' up the double you like symbols, call it Tisa.
What...
Word to Goddy at C-SUN
Hoping that when I visit, the ladies will let me see some
Just asking for love, baby girl I don't really need none
Feels like Len coached the crew
Just by the way he brought the team up.
Got a view of the city like an arena
On the hill on La Brea, after the mini-freeway
That comes right after Coliseum...
Come on, let's roll, now not everything glitters,
But life is worth more than Gold, go...
Roll your windows down...Yell this out loud...
Yeah I'm Wrekless and I'm stunting, you can bow down
I turned nothing into something in this wild town
I turned my pain into joy, I made my frowns smile
I put the weak me in a bag and lost the Hefty,
And I beat all of the odds,
Man I should practice boxing lefty
Got a different type of heart, I promise you will not forget me,
And since promises are often broken, you cannot upset me
[Hook]
Let me try it out...
I'll be back in a year...
Made it all the way there just to see I've been here...
Gotta thank God,
'Cause it ain't easy followin' all your dreams
When it seems you're behind all of your peers.
I used to hold it in...
Now we hold it down...
Now we're here coaching all the ones that used to clown.
Gotta thank God,
'Cause it ain't easy followin' all your dreams
When it seems that no one else is around...woah
[Verse 2]
I set the mood, so this is my type of environment...
Not just my house or neighborhood,
But this whole life we live.
Now I no longer feel misunderstood, just like to vent...
'Cause I messed up, but I dug up your love in spite of it
Huh,
And that was subliminal, what a criminal
Those are just simple things that happen when your life's a miracle...
Huh,
And I'm feeling love from your existence,
If you feel me when I'm not there, you got the sixth sense...
But I'm always there like the Nix Checks
Cashing on Crenshaw and 29th, what a mixed mess...
Huh?
See how I slid in without sliding in,
That's what makes this exciting
Even more than when I press send...
Huh?
So I figured I'd do this instead,
Love is better done when said, not to mention...
Huh?
And If I gotta sit on the benches
I'll give the coach an ice bath on the end's win.
[Hook]
Let me try it out...
I'll be back in a year...
Made it all the way there just to see I've been here...
Gotta thank God,
'Cause it ain't easy followin' all your dreams
When it seems you're behind all of your peers.
I used to hold it in...
Now we hold it down...
Now we're here coaching all the ones that used to clown.
Gotta thank God,
'Cause it ain't easy followin' all your dreams
When it seems that no one else is around...woah

Shoemaker
03:58
|

[Chorus]
Said we all in the circle, I'm shoemaker
Way too loose to chase ya..way too tied to lace ya
Stuck to choosin' paper like eenie meanie mynie moe
Said we all in the circle, I'm shoemaker
Better freeze 'fo (before) you get tagged like tasers
'Cuz we are what our mind made us
Bet I catch that tiger by it's toe
[Verse 1]
Young toy soldier can't push this boy over
A kid of my caliber won't break; Toyotas
I hold on to the green like a 'lil toy Yoda
All up in ya drink like boba, this is Pinkberry
If my city was built on top of pyramids would it be a
Eye on top that sees that I'm a lyricist would it see a
Kid that was hurt, which I used to be
Couldn't get the girls,
But... now they're all crazy in the mood for me
It's my world inside the body that I'm livin' in
If you the shit, you sittin' in the potty that I'm shittin in
Picture it then flikr it, then red twister it, licorice
Women that turned me down get hit with the rocket like a missile hit
People that said I couldn't get it, give it
Victory inside of the society that we live in
I love naked women, so let's redifine sinnin'
The graph is automatic, so it'll be like I'm signin' it
No time limit for my flyness'..
Flying to the terminal...
They just fed me lies, I find the answers inside of him
Pineapple express around the homies, maybe I H.O.C.
Then put all of my negative thoughts on an island
I..figure it's a miracle how I make these syllables
Turn into a philosophical musical view for you...
I make my dreams come true when I'm bored,
Nigga this is life now...not what you used to do
[Chorus]
Said we all in the circle, I'm shoemaker
Way too loose to chase ya..way too tied to lace ya
Stuck to choosin' paper like eenie meanie mynie moe
Said we all in the circle, I'm shoemaker
Better freeze 'fo (before) you get tagged like tasers
'Cuz we are what our mind made us
Bet I catch that tiger by it's toe
[Verse 2]
Live and live is a double standard
I'll be live while I'm livin' and the
Crew I grew up with gon' have millions in duffle bags
And bank accounts...Chase with it in great amounts
And rubber bands...
Zeros that say infinity way too much that we can't take em out
Uhh..What yo life bout, I play around
Oh Jesus thank you, I'll be stackin' bricks paper style
All courtesy of what the pain is now
So I ain't lettin' the struggle weigh me down
That's simply what made me bilau
Anger in my heart, I convert it to joy..
Bad pretty women, a perfect decoy...
Hit it, I'm a young Floyd...
Funny how I figured how to get it, though I'm timid...
I guess there's a soldier in this young boy
Called a grown man, own my own land called a runway
Bussin' on the models on it, you can call that gunplay
Everyday I see the sun, I just call it Sunday
Pretty women non-dress and...this is runday
[Chorus 2x]
Said we all in the circle, I'm shoemaker
Way too loose to chase ya..way too tied to lace ya
Stuck to choosin' paper like eenie meanie mynie moe
Said we all in the circle, I'm shoemaker
Better freeze 'fo (before) you get tagged like tasers
'Cuz we are what our mind made us
Bet I catch that tiger by it's toe

Find a Way
04:15
|
|||
[Chorus]
If it's something that we never had the time to say...
Maybe we can find a way...
Just take all of the baggage, let it fall, and relax
And then maybe we'll fly away
If it's something that we never had the time to say...
Then maybe we can try today...
'Cause I never had the courage,
But baby, nobody's perfect, it doesn't have to work right away
[Verse 1]
Feels like I walked up into heaven
You took me there with your presence
Your body is like a Mac with you Apple bottom ascension...
I see you walkin' in front of me,
Don't front, you want that attention,
I get it, I give it.
'Cause I know those kinds of simple things will turn you on
Pretty sure I'm certain, I ain't perfect, but I'm learning
In this thing called life, I'm married to it
I pray to God yours moves smoothly and very fluent
It wasn't in my heart to love, but see, I eventually knew
It'd find a way...
So when you hear it, just hear me through it
Zoning out in the middle of time,
Here meet cupid, I know this is different...
But difference is part of the mission,
Here we do the...Un-thinkable,
I..Swizz and Alicia you...
The key is in your heart,
Find it quicker than speed can move
With the help of some guidance, I figure I'd seek in you
A way out of no way and I know that you'd see it through
[Chorus]
If it's something that we never had the time to say...
Maybe we can find a way...
Just take all of the baggage, let it fall, and relax
And then maybe we'll fly away
If it's something that we never had the time to say...
Then maybe we can try today...
'Cause I never had the courage,
But baby, nobody's perfect, it doesn't have to work right away
[Verse 2]
So when all is said and done
And I'm finished havin' fun
I know I'm a test that (test that 3x)
Floating on cloud nine, practicing wild lines
While I'm...thinking of different ways to pass time
Confidence in my art is my favorite pastime
Put it down, try again and hope it works that time...
Oh you don't really feel the same way? That's fine
So even in the event that you change that line,
I'll find a way to make it feel like God made that mine
I guess that's living in faith I suppose
Like figuring ways to walk on ice skates in the snow
When it's cold. As I treat you like you're my snow angel
With a halo as I lay down and move in it, so graceful
[Chorus]
If it's something that we never had the time to say...
Maybe we can find a way...
Just take all of the baggage, let it fall, and relax
And then maybe we'll fly away
If it's something that we never had the time to say...
Then maybe we can try today...
'Cause I never had the courage,
But baby, nobody's perfect, it doesn't have to work right away
[Verse 3]
Perfect invitation to chill out
With Mickey D's, sweet teas, Spiyda bring the grill out
I feel the need to say, I'm just thankful for the day
I finally get to say...how I really feel out
I guess some things take time,
I ain't tryin' to win a grammy,
But shit, I'd surely be happy,
I'd find a way
But long story short, it's just a part of me
That manages to find a way to whatever I'm called to be
I guess some things take time,
I'm tryin' to make you happy,
Man I would surely be happy,
I'd find away...
But long story short, your a part of the mission,
And you ain't even gotta guess where the Terminal is
Ha!
I guess some things take time...
I guess in due time, we'll all find a way...
I guess some things take time...
And I know the time is ours today...Yeah
[Chorus]
If it's something that we never had the time to say...
Maybe we can find a way...
Just take all of the baggage, let it fall, and relax
And then maybe we'll fly away
If it's something that we never had the time to say...
Then maybe we can try today...
'Cause I never had the courage,
But baby, nobody's perfect, it doesn't have to work right away
[Outro]
So when all is said and done
And you're finished having fun
You know I'm a test that (test that 3x)
Like art it gets better the more you're drawing her...
Like art it gets better the more you...

Earth Girl

[Intro]
I said her mind is like the sun
Body like the ocean
Can I go swimming (repeat 2x)
[Chorus]
(Will you be my little earth girl)
I said her mind is like the sun
Body like the ocean
Can I go swimming (repeat 2x)
[Verse 1]
Your thoughts come on at night
Mind bright as the street light
You're a ball game in the park
And I'm trynna home run that
Hit the curb like bad parking
It feels like
(na na na na na 13x)
Yeah, It feels like
(na na na na na 13x)
Uh huh huh
How could he make you feel
Like something so real
So real, so real, so real
[Chorus 1x]
[Verse 2]
You pass by, I stop, glance
Stuck in a trance
'Cause I can see love in advance
In yo' eyes; the moonlight is what your pupils remind me of
And you're like a symphony; too exquisite when you smile
Figurative a picture is worth more than a thou-sand words
And your beauty says things I never heard of
And your body curves round like the earth does
Let alone, you're deep that's just scratching the surface
I mean you don't just purchase purses to determine
What your worth is, but you're worth
More than the universe can yield to ya
Make me wanna put in the extra work to be real with ya
Lay a foundation down and just build with ya
Guess I'm saying I'm feelin' ya
You feel me
[Chorus 2x]

The Pursuit of Passion
04:21
|

[Chorus]
Said if you knew what I knew...
Then would you do it just like me...
Said if you knew what I knew
Tryin' to sustain in the city of vultures,
I look success up in the eye,
I see it really up close
And if this is my only shot,
Then I take it and never give it back...
You're all that when you finally let go
You're all grown 'til you find that you're wrong
Give up before you find that you're strong...oh
[Verse 1]
Just finished talkin' to a friend of mine
He said we're blessed,
'Cause we're tired, but we're still alive
You gotta catch in the middle of the vibe just to survive
Gave me permission to put this life, up in this line
Stuck in the struggle, but changed my mind
It is get it time,
Used to be impatient, but now I pace to the finish line
Used to be a sprinter, but now my race is a vision
To search for peace with my family
And harvest a wealthy living mind
Smoking joy and sippin' life
Your "hello" is my "hi"
Travel through time with my lines,
My lines are my timeline
Pretty bars, gorgeous thoughts, recognize the fine print,
They say we're moving back,
But you rarely see that on my side
South Central nigga...
In the central of potential women who go ratchet
And them niggas who 'gon clap,
They probably got the strap in their backpack,
Living out a culture
That makes it glorious for them soldiers who don't run
Until the show's over
The scene strolls slower
It seems we're always envious of them niggas who don't know us,
Therefore we pack heat...
Like we own solar, and buss it at your brother,
Man, that's a cold closer,
But if they never notice us,
They will never know what's up
That's why half of the function's never showin' up
'Cause they keep peace at the house like hippy fashion
Trained to blast 'em before they ask 'em what happened
[Chorus]
Said if you knew what I knew...
Then would you do it just like me...
Said if you knew what I knew
Tryin' to sustain in the city of vultures,
I look success up in the eye,
I see it really up close
And if this is my only shot,
Then I take it and never give it back...
You're all that when you finally let go
You're all grown 'til you find that you're wrong
Give up before you find that you're strong...oh
[Verse 2]
I said, I think...
Good living is everything you got
Do everything you could with it..'Til you reach the top
And everything is good...ain't gotta worry 'bout shit...
Pretty little sisters in them pretty outfits
Smellin' real good...they're all going out
And they don't get offended when you see what their about
'Cause they ain't never got hurt,
They don't know that feeling
Can't' change it if it happened,
But now you can change the route
Uh(3x)
Now that'll be probably half of the reason
My thoughts are scattered in my mind
Half of 'em are the bad ones,
It's just so hard to distinguish
Suffering from lack of judgement,
The final test is to clean it
In my mind I see it
Notice all the lines and I just pick a line a read it
It's like a fortune cookie,
All the answers that I find in 'em
Feelin' like I'm pawnin' 'em
With no profit, 'cause I'm never listening to my mind
Uh(3x)
Thoughts of a young nigga
Held in but never held my tongue with 'em
I just capture visions and hurry and run with 'em
Before I ever give my doubts chances to come get 'em
I consider my mistakes a brand new opportunity
I leave a mess a broom to sweep it
And a mop for you to clean it
Treat those props like property
A win is not for you to see it
Stuck in the mental habit,
The nature my community is
Uh
Now just ask a nigga where I belong
I will say right here,
'Cause I'm just not used to the top at all
Leave it to the grind
And it's action packed with no talk involved...
Now tell me that ain't poppin' off
They tell me I ain't had it
Well I must've fell in magic
'Cause everything I'm attracting
Makes me better than I have been
In the cold, I am a cabin
Remember days I used to panic
Well now I'm feeling ecstatic
'Cause everything is just happening to work out
[Chorus]
Said if you knew what I knew...
Then would you do it just like me...
Said if you knew what I knew
Tryin' to sustain in the city of vultures,
I look success up in the eye,
I see it really up close
And if this is my only shot,
Then I take it and never give it back...
You're all that when you finally let go
You're all grown 'til you find that you're wrong
Give up before you find that you're strong...oh

Break Away
02:23
|
|||
[Verse 1]
It's been... a minute since the last time,
What are your thoughts on that?
Hoping if you currently feel a little different than you did the last time,
It comes right back... to the way
It's always people like you that
Keep my mind on track, in a way
It's always people like me that
Are the reason that you never stay,
But we're the same... in a way
I wonder if I seen the world in your eyes
Will the view look the same?
I wonder if... you were me then I mean would you
Do the same thing? Would you go farther?
Would you ever change? Would you go harder?
You'd probably do better than me,
Would you think smarter?
Before I feel the strain and I choose to break away
[Chorus]
Save it for a later day
Feelings never fade away
I know we may not think the same thing
Met you at the terminal and found you on the same plane
But now that we're landing, I hope
That you feel the way I do
Even if I don't ever try to, I'll be beside you
When you decide to break away
Save it for a later day
Feelings never fade away
I know even if I don't ever try to,
I'll be beside you when you decide to break away
I met you at the terminal, we're on the same plane
It's funny how things change,
Used to be the one I would,
Now it's I wish we didn't have to break away
[Verse 2 Bridge]
Didn't break away...
Maybe if I looked through your eyes
And seen myself in you...
It wouldn't come as such a surprise
When you tell me what you wanted me to do
I'd tell you that I'm through,
And you would wonder if it's true
You would tell me that you love me,
I would wonder if it's true
And I'd come back to you right before you break away
[Chorus]
Save it for a later day
Feelings never fade away
I know we may not think the same thing
Met you at the terminal and found you on the same plane
But now that we're landing, I hope
That you feel the way I do
Even if I don't ever try to, I'll be beside you
When you decide to break away
Save it for a later day
Feelings never fade away
I know even if I don't ever try to,
I'll be beside you when you decide to break away
I met you at the terminal, we're on the same plane
It's funny how things change,
Used to be the one I would,
Now it's I wish we didn't have to break away

Hallmark

[Verse 1]
We're living in a space frenzy
Seems like only yesterday when everyone was friendly
And brand new J's were the only reason to envy
'Til people grew a heart,
Then got it broken, that pain was heavy
But that's what made 'em ready
Had to change views, situations adapted
The pain was in your face and in your place, you reacted
Everyone you attracted, simply 'cause of your passion
Became some kind of fashion just to be part of that shit
I know who I owe rations to and that's exactly
Who will clock the time in every race inside this track meet
Dreams larger than Zangief,
Strength that you can't beat
Look he's tryin' to talk says Thumper about Bambi
Crushes over Sherry, Destiny, Qaiyah, D'Angie
That's my starting quadrille,
So if you ask me, then that's me
Started as a drummer, musical road runner,
And I seen I had potential to be huge and own summers
Visions of meeting Villaraigosa in Saragosa
And I'd teach Ms. Estes something for all the things that she showed us
We all could find something to get off our chest, so what
They asked me for the mission and the real me showed up, showed up
[Hook]
Feels like every thought I ever told myself to hold up
Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up
So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card
Go on and on and on
It feels like every time I ever told myself to hold up
Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up
So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card
Go on and on and on
[Verse 2]
Here we go, word to my Audubon days
All the way to San José
Those memories feel just hours away
I got towers of things that remain
On top of my brain,
I just knew I'd make it to Denver some way...
Word to Rahim
And that's a safety statement for ya...
Vacant paces never pave the way, I pave it for ya...
They can change the way you think,
But never change it for ya
If beauty's in the eye of the holder,
I made Sephora for a girl with great decorum
Slap boxing... comparing hands with Vincent
Mr. Framtpon was vicious
But Hitman had the hit list
And LuMo had the beats in San José,
Remember when I met ya,
But we never went back,
'Cause we recorded during lectures, uh
[Hook]
Feels like every thought I ever told myself to hold up
Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up
So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card
Go on and on and on
It feels like every time I ever told myself to hold up
Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up
So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card
Go on and on and on
[Verse 3]
Ahh... can you hear me now? (2x)
Said can you hear me now?
Shit I'm dressed in success and I'm 'bout to wear it down
This is the silent awareness effect
I'm engineering me and I am in here in the jet
And I made the mission back
Let me explain
In case you didn't get where my head was at
Planned it, orchestrated, waited...
Through the pain in which made a beautiful painting
For a musical statement...
Made cuts for everything I cut in case I'm too abrasive
They asked me for concrete evidence
And I paved the pavement
Knew you would make it if you tried my dude,
This is what happens when you decide to fly my nigga
Goin' against the odds despite the size my dude
Diving inside the clouds like the sky's my pool
Put time and effort inside to exercise my
Mind and defy the physics of fear, I gotta rise my
Nigga, defy the physics of fear, I gotta rise my dude
View the spectrum of the world like a collage
Through these eyes,
I came into this world tryin' to live a life of
A vision of what you're epitomizing
Not realizing that if we're alive, then
Nigga we are Zion, that's only if you're striving
To keep it real, tell me if you're feeling real
Your brother like Rugrats,
I'm your twin whenever you're Phil & Lil (feeling little)
Shit comes alive in the midst of your passion,
Only thing missing is an address
With a mansion to seal the deal
So if you ever decide to approach me with the question,
I'll tell you
My biggest lesson's learned from everything I feel for real
[Hook]
Feels like every thought I ever told myself to hold up
Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up
So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card
Go on and on and on
It feels like every time I ever told myself to hold up
Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up
So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card
Go on and on and on
[Outro]
Yeah...

Sea of Life
02:58
|

[Chorus]
Rollin' around the world
So many things to see
I almost found myself
Drowning in the sea of life
The sea of life (8x)
[Verse 1]
I don't see you walking by
Tell me are those symptoms of your life changing
I don't see you walking by
Tell me are those symptoms of your life chain
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I don't hear you talking, why
Am I the reason you're quiet
I don't hear you talking, why
Is it because I am walking by
(uhh)
They tell me go rap boy
I be rollin' around with people down
To play the beat loud
If the cops hear, they'll probably down-load
Never made a bad choice
Flow wet like Blastoid
So fresh like Altoids, get a box of that
Sparkling water, put the rocks in that
They got me wonderin' where I connect
Never been a space cadet
Remembering days when I didn't make it yet
I was really thinking how I'm gon' make connects
To make it next, practicing club Roxy raps
How could you be where I not be at
Asking me where my posse at
Got a beautiful girl named Mya
I'm trynna put a ring on it
Like that, boom
[Bridge]
I don't see you walking by
I don't think you are as fly as
You think that you really are
But here's the catch; we're all stars
[Chorus]

[Intro: Jet 2 & Brittney Jaii]
I want to be where you are
Will you be my shooting star?
A sight to see near or far
Will you be my shooting star?
Since we have been through it all
We've been through it all
It's like we've been here before
We've been here before
I want to be where you are
Will you be my shooting star?
A sight to see near or far
Will you be my shooting star
[Verse 1: Jet 2]
Close your eyes, make a wish, watch it come true
Before you get to count to one two,
Three... see we can go wherever you want girl...
It's all on you and... me
Praise the day that I found you...
Notice it was something neither two can...
See, since we'll be living on the move,
I hand to take you and then stand on the moon and
Reach.
[Chorus: Jet 2 & Brittney Jaii]
I want to be where you are
Will you be my shooting star?
Will you be my shooting star?
(Brittney Jaii)
Shooting Star (3x)
[Verse 2: Jet 2]
Just look at how far we came
Up 'til now from so long ago,
Just a song ago,
Was feelin' down and out,
But now I'm loving the way that life is rounding out
Now we're around and about
About around the same time
We take a tour around the world like a sound wave does
You could see the view from the sky like a plane's up
While sitting in the terminal like that's where you came from...
Like that's where you came from
Look in baby girl and aim up
See you're really something that this world just can't touch (6x)
[Verse 3: RockstarTuNE]
Vicodin... overdose by her Vicodin
Loaded like a semi, let it loose
Shooting star from a camera scoop, paparazzi group
And I apart the group,
Shameless to say, they better not regroup
Shameless to say, they come in pears(pairs) like fruit
Mean less what you say before we can call it truce, oh
[Chorus: Jet 2 & Brittney Jaii]
I want to be where you are
Will you be my shooting star?
Will you be my shooting star?
(Brittney Jaii)
Shooting Star
A sight to see near or far
Will you be my shooting star?
Will you be my shooting star?
Shooting star (3x)
[Verse 4: RockstarTuNE]
I love it when you say my name
Memories in the bed we sleep
Corridor, A-D-H-D
Vanilla ice on the A-D-D
She's a bit hard to swallow
She's the only ten I see at the El Dorado
With a little Hennessy, that'll solve our problem,
So we're living by the moment in the stars we came from
Stars we came from,
Living by the moment in the stars we came from (6x)
[Bridge: Hitman]
Yeah... I love her, I love her not
She love's every minute of it though,
No watch...
But I'm a get her... just watch
[Verse 5: Hitman]
Yeah... Shoot me, star down 'til I really wanna meet you,
Never lead me on 'til the time's right...
I'm rollin' on feelings, tell me you feel it,
The feeling of it in your right side
I see us as one in the bright lights
Romancing under the night sky
More chances for me to prove me
To you to know I'm the right guy, yeah
[Chorus: Jet 2 & Brittney Jaii w/ Hitman adlibs]
I want to be where you are
Will you be my shooting star?
Will you be my shooting star?
(Brittney Jaii)
(yeah) Shooting Star
A sight to see near or far (yeah)
Will you be my shooting star? (yeah)
Will you be my shooting star? (star, yeah)
Shooting star (3x)
[Outro: Hitman]
Yeah

Nothing Can Go Wrong

[Intro]
This is some shit I would've done at San José State.
[Chorus]
I'm on it, now I'm tired of waiting for so long
(Why don't you baby, why don't you babe)
Figured if I do then nothing can go wrong
(Nothing can go wrong, go wrong)
[Verse 1]
Flyness, your highness, you pilot... righteous
Every time... I say hi, I can't say bye to that
'Cause it's priceless
Tryin' to pull on your strings like a kite kit
Then wrap it around... my fit
Like a snap-back, cap-hat
Call it Cat in the Hat, that's my shhh...
I'll be your Dr. Seuss, I'll be your masseuse
I'll say the words that make you turn to juice
Food so nice that you gotta say it twice,
That p p... be my Cous Cous, ha...
Yeah... damn di di damn
I'm a fan of a ten getting tan with her friends
Man understand hints, the words I say,
I'm tryin' to get it in, C-N-N if you knew me
You know that I'm a... Saint..Louis...
I gotta ram...
Oowee...get up in that Tootsie...
Roll...that's chocolate candy
And me? Smooth as can be
Jump up in that water, Squarepants, get Sandy
Tryin' to watch her blow, little chief, Ms. Kansas
That's the guy code if you're searching for them answers
Wow
[Chorus 2x]
I'm on it, now I'm tired of waiting for so long
(Why don't you baby, why don't you babe)
Figured if I do then nothing can go wrong
(Nothing can go wrong, go wrong)
[Bridge]
Uhh, Let me feel that energy
Let me feel that energy, let me feel that energy, oh (3x)
Let me feel that energy... every single time we go,
Go, gone
[Verse 2]
Make me want to fulfill your needs
While I get you off your knees (nese)
Like the suffix of Japan when you refer to the language
Feeling like I speak it.
Spilling like a free song, love it when you leak it
S, s, sexy lady... I'm planting seeds in your vegetation
Relax your mind, pay attention...
Got you feeling like you're meditating...
Ventilation, breathing heavy like you're ventilating
Feel the air... in here,
That's skin care, we call it Mentholatum
Got you yelling, talking in exclamations
No explanation, just exhalation
And simple statements,
The terminal's talking...
Come in patience as I fly on in...ow
[Chorus 2x]
I'm on it, now I'm tired of waiting for so long
(Why don't you baby, why don't you babe)
Figured if I do then nothing can go wrong
(Nothing can go wrong, go wrong)

Dark Knight
05:17
|
|||
[Hook]
This is my energy from the inner me
I'm a living being to infinity
Yelling peace to my enemies
That I don't really see, I'm a dark knight
I'm more like Heath Ledger than Nancy Cartwright
Word up, I see the villains in the house
This is like the anthem for lost hope
The riddler's in the house
The puzzle for every bar's quotes
[Verse 1]
They unlocked me, started off a carbon copy I can feel it
But the reason that I'm driven is shown every time I go
They say if you listen close, you'll see what's really inside his soul
And I cannot disagree, because I do every time I go
If I'm in the glory zone and fallen under grace
I take my certain leap of faith if I break before every time I grow
But as of late, I've proven destiny is no accident
I figured that a long time ago
Beauty is in the eye, does it slip when you cry
Is the pit full of fire when your heart's on ice
And your love's grown lice right here where you stand
And here is the now, but it's tied in a rubber band
Trying to burn rubber, green light, green goblin
All you have left is your lovely team mobbing
In my early twenties thinkin' 'bout teen problems
And a global crisis, now how can we solve it
Wondering if I'm what the cause is
'Cause they say we knew it all right before we started
All this, I must be the light within illuminating dark nights
Ain't no politician, but I'm office
Every single one of my Microsoft is a paw print
And that's clues for you culprits
This ain't Jurassic park, but living in this lost world
I'm feeling as slow as a sloth, but as large as a walrus
I go in, igloo for my mind, 'cause it's cold as the arctic
Ocean, what happens when feelings go numb
You no longer beat to the drum of a sergeant
But instead you were charged like your marching
On mars with the villains
Breaking down buildings, King Kong 'em
Going back and forth, ping pong 'em
Like what could be right, I think wrong this is my life
Just a couple things I battle with on a dark night
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Verse two is what I reverse to
If speaking in third like words could reverse too
Sittin' on this dark night drawing from inspiration
Inside my imagination from everything that I've turned to
Not the age but the number on the end of my name, I
Carry a burden that's burning, I'm searching for the rain, I
Feel I've been doing this forever under any weather
And I'm here trying to think how can I top Under The Radar
What the fuck is that? Good publishing, good promotion
And now I gotta sit back and watch your deluxe edition
Flourish while for a couple of years, I tucked the mission
Currently, I'm in my room as the story goes
So if this was a movie, that's where you would view me
Right before the scene that the plot thickens
And the main character becomes the protagonist,
I'm stunned, I'm thinking I finally get it, I run
Out of my room to the front door with a gun
With bad intentions in my mind like
If I ain't seen the lime light by now
Then someone's gotta go down
On this dark night, hop into a car
Speeding, made a couple rights at a red light
'Til I seen a cop light stop right behind me
Slowly creeping up to blind side me
Look to the right, I pulled the tool that's beside me
I blast, I know it wasn't right
But that was just the anger coming outside of my mind
That was on this dark night
Plus the previous day, I seen Scarface
And thought I was tough enough to take Scar's place
Maybe that'll give a story to tell
I'm going beyond, the glory's unveiled
Moral of the story is I was just dreaming while I was sleeping
Until I woke up to found out it wasn't real
So here I am again from the second
Rewound from the third, but fast forward to the present
Which is back to the now, I'm trying to be a cash cow
Through this rap music, but I'm just a class clown
In reality, I had a dream like Martin Luther King
About what I would do just to pursue the dream
Not saying I would shoot just to pursue the dream
But I'm just saying everything ain't what it seems
Seeing Rockstar at the window and I'm like "what up?"
I wake up to let him in and I'm thinking in my head
I just had this dream I gotta tell him about that was fucked up
And I'm like "Tune, remember when I text you right before I slept
And I told you I was stressed dude? About the music game
I just had a strange dream
Could it be the reason, could it be the same thing?
Could it be my premonition telling me that I ain't in the best position
I was unaware, I felt the game was just unfair
I need an opportunity to show my exhibition"
That was when he asked me "why don't you just do it here?"
Story of the untold, unborn legacy
We are black rockstars living in forever,
We realize that destiny is no accident, Wrekless
Meant to keep it going even when pain is in excess
As soon as I'm done with this track, I'll rewind it back
To the second verse where I had slept
But this time I'm fully awake
With no gun in my hand and with RockstarTuNE
I retrace my tracks, I erase my stress and replace my fears
With the faith that I know with no bomb, we gon' blow up
Everything is alright and this is my dark night, the stories told, what's up
[Hook]
[Outro: RockstarTuNE talking]

Stand Up (feat. Vé)
03:43
|

[Intro: Nella]
Y'all just 'gon' sit there?
I'm a need y'all to stand up! Ay!
[Verse 1: Jet 2]
Man I was a youngin' since I visioned about the mission
Swear I had a plan, all I needed was God's permission
Since the propeller days, I knew that I was here to stay
I knew that I would never fade
Since banging pots up in the kitchen
Drummer boy, Jet 2 been through a lot to be specific
Break a leg, oh shin(ocean) not to be Pacific
Barely got the grades, but I was still out to be prolific
Guess the teachers couldn't tell,
But you could hear it in my lyrics
Destiny is mine and success, I'm critically near it
Always stayed inspired, I probably fought it if I feared it
I skirr... if I was on the wrong path
Family united, stayed away from division like long math
But I seen the vision like a split inside the retina
Going fishing, caught a Tetra, was as lost as professors
Teaching the wrong class...
But bet I'm found now,
Screeching through the ears like a chalkboard long slash
[Hook: Jet 2 & Nella]
You know why?
That feeling you can't fight the feeling,
You're so high
There ain't nothing like finally feeling you're inspired
'Cause I'm on a roll now, me they couldn't hold down
Baby, this a showdown, nigga
(Stand up)
When they tell you slow down nigga
(Stand up)
If you wouldn't let it go down then you'll
(Stand up)
If you're on a roll, then when you
(Stand up)
They can never tell you sit down boy!
[Verse 2: Vé317]
Came in on my ten toes,
Standing on my tip toes
Looking for a woman I considered to have big goals
Not one with a big noes that's tryin' to expose me
Like Kobe, 'cause she wanna be nosey
Said I wouldn't make it? Well it's Mr. All-Nighter
No brakes, all tires, so they must've been mistaken
See weed will get you high,
But Vé'll get you inspired,
Get you lifted get you higher like a grinder and a lighter
And... I don't really care, because the Lord is my provider
So the board that I was ridin'
Got the ground shaking that's on the floor right beside us
This is hot fire, you can call me Dilan
Let bygone be bygone,
I'm rapping to the pylon
Because I need six figures,
Got the knowledge up in my palm
And I got that from my mom
Typically, these rappers swear that they can limit me,
But Bob Marley reincarnated and I'm hunting the indusrty
Stay broke or go mainstream...
Better flex yo' options
I'm something they can't see,
Underground like fiber optics,
Who said that they can top it?
Must've been a different topic
Ever verse and every word that every person's ever heard
Is too melodic, get yo' dollars!
[Hook: Jet 2 & Nella]
You know why?
That feeling you can't fight the feeling,
You're so high
There ain't nothing like finally feeling you're inspired
'Cause I'm on a roll now, me they couldn't hold down
Baby, this a showdown, nigga
(Stand up)
When they tell you slow down nigga
(Stand up)
If you wouldn't let it go down then you'll
(Stand up)
If you're on a roll, then when you
(Stand up)
They can never tell you sit down boy!
[Verse 2: Jet 2]
Word to Yaxxs fresh, denim blue, black vest
Outfit off the chain, we call that interview tactics
Used to be in pain,
But now we're inspired, the tracks ripped
Life is grade A like an honor student transcript
Got the type of flow to make you wanna do a backflip
I won't hit the J, but you can light it up and pass it
Wrekless said I can do it, so I'm all about making classics
We mastered the art of dreaming and we're a family,
That's it...
Seatbelt fastened... riding in the whip like we can't sit
Moving faster than that traffic jam shit
Setting goals and soon all of us move into a mansion
We do it and you're surprised,
We think like we planned this
Tryin' to tour the whole world, we think like we planet
Doing anything that it takes to withstand
Any situation, occurrence or circumstance that happens
Fresh on campus, you know you can't... stand it!
[Hook: Jet 2 & Nella]
You know why?
That feeling you can't fight the feeling,
You're so high
There ain't nothing like finally feeling you're inspired
'Cause I'm on a roll now, me they couldn't hold down
Baby, this a showdown, nigga
(Stand up)
When they tell you slow down nigga
(Stand up)
If you wouldn't let it go down then you'll
(Stand up)
If you're on a roll, then when you
(Stand up)
They can never tell you sit down boy!
[Outro: Nella]
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout, standing up!
Wrekless!

[Verse 1]
(whussup)
So there was this girl I met in...High..School..(uh huh)
I swear those were the best times of my life...(wurd)
And sometimes I really wish I didn't..(why not?)
'Cause I hate that I put everything in it
(I know) you know? how?
('Cause i've been through the same...
days sittin' reminiscin bout her thinkin you insane.. (yeah)
Only difference, if she knew your name?
Then don't be chasin' just be patient bro you're in the game..)
uh really?
(take it slow...just take it...take it slow...uhh
I know you may feel like these niggas on it, what you waitin for,
but it makes it better when you take it slow..woah)
Uh huh, yea right...good idea,
Feels like i've tried everything but she will never come around
like full glasses of Sangria
(man bro breathe, just trust me saying...just be patient...
and once you take it...slow...you'll know)
Like..when though? (I don't know to be honest, just when it happens)
For sure...i'm bout to hit up the mall or somethin'
[Verse 2]
Soulful thoughts and open heart..surgery
Run into you, make me skip a beat, heart murmur me
I just had a convo with myself all about you
Yeah them girls is cool, but they just make me think about..you
So for now don't turn me down, just let me turn you on...(that's right)
Shy for now, but it won't be the same when i'm around..you
Even if it's not with me,
Then you can make love to this song
And when I get my chance...imma show you what i'm 'bout
For now I'll take it slow...for now I'll take it...for now I'll take it slow..ha
Even if I never get ya, I'll leave somethin' to remember
so you never have to ask what makes you want me more ..oh
(That's what i'm talkin bout..ya feel me? do you feel better?)
Ha oh yea (4x)
Man this is picture perfect, man she might just wanna throw that,
Man this is picture perfect, could've sworn I had a Kodak
Probably never been together, but it still feels like forever
No matter the sight of weather,
Had our ups and downs like a see-saw...
But to me you're my high school sweetheart!
(Only when you take it...slow 3x)
sigh
[Verse 3]
(Bro how'd it go?)
Ehh..she didn't pick up the phone...
man I probably to a visit to the spot too...
But she wasn't home...
I try to step out the box when I can,
Even when I know it's wrong
Even when situations say different, I take a minute
And then I'm feelin' right back on
Those are the types of moments that...
I can't really put a price tag on..
Those are the types of emotions that...
Make me really wanna write that song
Treat you like the music, make you feel it
Kill two birds with one stone...
Sorry for the wait but wait...wait...
For now I'll take it slow...
For now I'll take it...
For now I'll take it slow
Now I know you may feel like I'm super on it,
But I'm patient tho
'Cause I'm a turn you on after I take it slow...
Slow

Mission Complete
03:07
|
|||
[Verse]
It's funny how the universe works, when I met you first I
Really didn't believe the term that they say
When it's love at first sight
All it took was a glance at you
View from a bird's eye
It's funny 'cause you had wings too
I seen it with my third eye
On second guess, paths were different
In the past I made some bad decision
But you never know until you try it
So I had to get it
I spent over two years crafting the mission
Only to find the love I did it for was missing
Or didn't match the vision
And that's a burden that's burning inside
Imagine the feeling
Of a brother you share the same passion with
Having to admit that you never really had it
You never really had it in the first place
When at the time all I could see was her having my kids
I'm ashamed
The perfect love story starts when my mother feels
That all this honest effort I'm putting towards music
Is in vain
Now tell me how do I explain
All my sleepless nights I'm expressing only to ease the pain
They tell me to be optimistic, I have yet to see a change
But I can't argue with her though
They say you ain't working if you ain't made no change
I put my heart and soul into this music
Not that I care for the fame
But there's bills that have to be paid
I took a thousand out my account to open for Elzhi
Just to make an impression on his fans
I jumped off the stage, I'm like damn
What if I don't land, this is crazy still took the chance
Thinking after the show I would get a record advance
Let's just say things didn't quite go as planned
Yeah, they loved the music but I only got a couple fans
But a friend that can relate to me
That's more important
Maybe not to the public when you're playing the numbers game
The closest ones to me that feel like I'm at their disposal
Got me thinking should I be a christian rapper
Or Trinidad James,
I gotta make it... I found faith in Brittney Jaii
And I promised Mya I would fly her out from Maine to L.A.
One day when my due's paid, gotta make it to Paid Dues
Just to show if you got a passion you keep you can't lose
Got a couple female friends that overcame cancer
And they'll tell you how strong the mind is if you would only ask them
I watched Jamal record a song that really touched my heart
I call Vé everyday to keep me level-headed
I skype a queen that truly believed in me from the start
I know a rockstar and to all of them, I'm forever debt-ed
And to the girl that's always been on my mind
If you listen I hope you know why I replaced the song
As if you really care though, but what gets me like a scare-crow
Is when I pop, I know you'll play it all the time
Just to tell your friends like "look he was in love
He even wrote a song for my birthday and stuff"
Well this is kinda closure just to let you and I know
That nothing's ever really over...
But this is kinda over
And to those that never really understood the mission
I completed now you get to see the terminal's my soul, bruh
And I made it back

The Terminal
03:39
|
|||
[Verse 1]
What are your dreams
Tell me your aspirations
Not many people take the mission back and make it
Not many can distinguish between what is vague and
Make reality out of a fabrication, yo
I was living, dreaming, seen it
Woke up like uff that I gotta see it
Materialize like I really can feel it and fly
Into the sky is where I am
Hope to never land...
And that's my plan
[Chorus]
You will never fly if you don't take chances
But I know I am protected so I go, oh oh oh
Searching through this life just to find answers
All I really feel is love and that I know, oh oh oh
I don't know where you've been going for so long
What you've been through
But I know that life was made for me and you
This is the terminal
[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel what's going on
What's going on with you
And I know why you've been holding on
To the truth
[Verse 2]
What are your goals
Our sights divine
So staring into your eyes is like a diamond mine
I'm following your only guided light
If it's happening now, that's how you know the time is right
Just pick a thought... give it some focus
You know you're getting closer if the feeling's hopeful
And if you're far away, it's quite okay, you know
You always can find a blessing when those moments are woeful
Woah
What are your dreams
Tell me your aspirations
I would love to hear it and say that
You will surely make it
Happen if you have the courage to embrace it
Then those risks become wrists
And life hands you a bracelet
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
