Legacy

They doubted my vision
But now I'm a force to be reckoned with
Who would've thought it now
Staying up late, I'd navigate
Through the mess that I made, why you passing out
Carry the weight of living to build me a legacy
Wanting that solid ground
Standing on top of them hills
One hand on the wheel, the other is writing down
Personal thought, each word that I jot is admired now
Each record I drop is a step to the surface
Of writing in cursive on higher ground
New circle of friends, or even if all my friends are trying to lie about it
Whether or not I'm truly supported or if it's a bit of a run around it
I'm not the one they should care about
Whether they like what I'm doing now
If you don't like me that's fine by my psyche
I'm tough as the nails they be slamming down
My actions are metal, meddle with me
And the barrel go straight to yo temple, loud as a kettle
With every shot that I rang
I aim for the head of the devil now he's a puddle
That puddle is blood red, red rum, I know I'm guilty of said gun
But I'd rather kill every demon inside
Than let 'em deceive me with their tongues
Tired of fighting the same things, I'm flying away in a paper plane
In need of protection from wind
A shelter from rain and all of what's in between
I'm tired of reaching for all my vices
I need some love and some good advice
Whenever it's cold and I feel alone, like nobody cares if I live or die
That ain't the truth but every time I'm in it
It's harder to prove, I've crafted a noose
Whenever I feel like the sadness has taken root
Deliver me swiftly before I choose
To loosen the grip it has on my neck, unfasten the rope so it slip
Falling through knots that I tied it with
I'm happy I broke it apart instead
I want to live and grow old, retire rich
So I get to see to the family biz
And they get to know that I'll never quit, I never quit
They doubted my vision
But now I'm a force to be reckoned with
Who would've thought it now
Staying up late, I'd navigate
Through the mess that I made, why you passing out
Carry the weight of living to build me a legacy
Wanting that solid ground
Standing on top of them hills
One hand on the wheel, the other is writing down
I can not leave what I want, I see what I want, build me a legacy
If it's appealing to God, grow what I've got, a leg up on blessing me
I cannot stop my new energy, you're all I've wanted, jealously
I will not leave it to chance, you humble my enemies

This gon' be a night to remember
I'm gon' need to buy me time for good measure
I won't like it if it slip through my fingers
Like I tried well, fuck it, at the same time I'm shooting from the hip
Click, bang
Who do I know? Why does it feel like I'm spinning
Out of control, I want it all, I need whatever you got for me send it
If I'm in awe, get me the role, give me the digits
Bumping these songs you rappers are finished
When I'm involved the game is no longer scrimmage
I need space, I need to breathe I need real money
Believe when I say it's all from the hip I need to feel something
Look at my vids, even with blemishes still be legit
Give me a couple of years and I will be turning some heads
On top my shit, yeah
Even if I have to wait for it I will
Even if I have to pray for it I'm still
Reaching out my hand to the heavens
Give me blessings I can bless with when I'm tested
With no other option, I got to make it, I'm making progress
No other options, got to be patient, like it's a noc-shift
Back to the basics, let me arrange it, 'til it be a top ten, I am all out of options
What do I know, why do I feel it spinning
I want to take all the money and spend it
Wish I was better at budgets
I got to study, spending my money the wrong way
I purchase whatever my eyes see
If it's a car I couldn't afford, or if it's a beer from a long day
I know it's a shame breaking the bank
Throwing it out like the garbage, I need to invest
How do I know how to spend it unless I learn from the best
It's getting harder to aim, cuz I've been shooting from the hip
I want to climb on out the crypt, and take my hands up off my neck
This gon' be a night to remember
I'm gon' need to buy me time for good measure
I won't like it if it slip through my fingers
Like I tried well, fuck it, at the same time I'm shooting from the hip
Click, bang
Said I'm shooting from the hip
Now I'm shooting from the hip
So if I miss
Just remember that I'm shooting from my muthafuckin' hip

It's kinda fucked up, you know
We work so hard to provide a life, that we can't even live
Cuz we're too busy providing for it
I just want to roll up, a low-cut looking fresh, had it cut last week
I just want to roll up a dime piece to my left with drip like sleet
She ride with me even when I'm weak
Even when I'm off a high and I'm feeling my defeat
I've been out of my mind try to hide it when I sleep
Drama in my life traumatized by the scene
I just want to roll up, roll up (Run it)
I just want to roll up, roll up (Run it)
I just want to roll up, roll up
I just want to, I just want to
(Run it, run it, run it back)
I just want to roll up, roll up (Run it)
I just want to roll up, roll up (Run it)
I just want to roll up, roll up
I just want to, I just want to
(Run it, run it, run it back)
I want it, I want to be free
Have a little more time for my needs
Get me to a house with multi-port grease
Car go fast like criminal speed
Tip like I'm T.I.P.
Got a new whip like strawberry
When we go eat sashimi having drinks
You don't gotta' worry cuz ya know it's on me
Slow it down now, let it glide over rain in the background
Turn around don't wait head home for the night
No need for the weight to be drag 'round
Held down by the pain, let it go, let it fade
Let it go, let it free (Dumb on it, dumb on it)
Brought down by a chain, let it break into pieces
Let it go, let it be, be (Dumb on it, dumb on it)
Every show like nothing you have seen before
I'm a top it with my topics, I'll relate it like a pro (Like a pro)
You might think you got it, think you slick with it run your profits
You might say go polish off that liquor with your lips on it
If I'm being honest I'm a bit too afraid I'll vomit
Plug me back into my socket, let me burn from out the carnage
Now, how you fit in?
I tried hard but I just don't get it
So I had to carve out a lane, that is so outta' frame
It's missing and they want to fix my vision
Why don't I listen? I try hard but I just don't get it
So I had to go down a road that is so out of scope
It's hidden so they'll never know I did it
I just want to roll up, roll up (Run it)
I just want to roll up, roll up (Run it)
I just want to roll up, roll up
I just want to, I just want to
(Run it, run it, run it back)
I just want to roll up, roll up (Run it)
I just want to roll up, roll up (Run it)
I just want to roll up, roll up
I just want to, I just want to
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
People waiting for me, yeah they praying for me
People are hoping and dreaming, and putting their confidence in me
I got to show 'em it's real

I kinda like you
I kinda like you
I kinda like you
I kinda like you
I kinda like you
I kinda like the way you make me feel
When I'm with you, when I'm with you
I know you want to, you told me we could run away and chill
To leave behind all of the bullshit
Running, and running in circles again
I'm trying to find me some peace
I want me somebody who sees what I see when I'm looking outside of my reach
Outside of my scope, someone who knows how I think
I like to plan for the future, like when we get married
Should flowers be purple or pink, yeah I love that
Kissing you under the sunset, running my hand through your hair
Like it has a new pair of Adidas from upstairs
All of my blessings are gifts I still can't believe that I get to see you in that dress
Looking at me like you really impressed
I want dance, and rock with you slowly 'til nothing is left
It's just you and me nobody else
So before that day comes, I want to tell you
I kinda like you
I kinda like the way you make me feel
When I'm with you, when I'm with you
I know you want to, you told me we could run away and chill
To leave behind all of the bullshit
Running, and running in circles again
I'm trying to find me some peace
But I, cannot convince my mind, I'm tired
Running, and running in circles again
I'm trying to find me some peace
But I, but I, I said
I kinda like you
I kinda like the way you make me feel
When I'm with you, when I'm with you
I know you want to, you told me we could run away and chill
And leave behind all of the
I just been forest gumping since a child, find myself lost in a world of regret
When they see you and your people as chocolate
You never know who's eatin' next
You was so different your sweet tooth was damaged
A hybrid to others, a gust of wind like Santiago
I wish I could blow away with you
Your imperfections made you so perfect, taught me how to love my demons
Pretty little fears glowing they keep my dreams lucid
I'm selfish I wish it was me and nobody else (nobody else)
Lonely again I'm wondering if you stare at the moon visit me too
We was just friends but I kinda liked you
I kinda like you
I kinda like the way you make me feel
When I'm with you, when I'm with you
I know you want to, you told me we could run away and chill
To leave behind all of the bullshit
I know I like you, I wonder why I fight it
It's hard to trust that how I'm feeling is alright when
We talk about it like it could be something real
Maybe we should talk about exactly how we feel

Sometimes I feel trapped
I'm 'bout to make it, got what it takes no double
There's only one of me, I got the recipe, get to my bread like it's funnel
Taking the cake, ain't playin' no games, not up for debate no rebuttal
I'm waiting here patiently, moving in vacancy, get me a spot on that level
Cuz I know I got it, I know I got it, I know I got it, yeah
Even in a cage, I'ma sing until I can't no more
I'ma sing until my lungs are sore
Til my lungs collapse, until they give out
We all want nice things, a nice dream when I'm sleeping
Catch Z's, I find I like what I'm seeing
I don't want to stay up, I got work in the morning, I guess I never noticed
I'm sitting here in the dark, staring off at the wall
I never took no Adderall, and yet my focus won't dissolve
Sitting here still waiting for some kinda break so I can fall
Asleep at night, it's hard to think if I'ma be alright
I see the darkness closing in, I thought it wouldn't leave
I took some fifty milligrams of what I should not eat
But, I did, and my face on replay
I could not shake it for two days and I was lost inside a maze
Fuck being poor, I'm down at the bottom
You got a Porsche (I want to rob him)
Not that I would, but I fantasize of having a life with no money problems
I could be cruising, hand on her thigh, foot on the gas instead of illusions
(Oh my, oh my) Foot on the gas, instead of illusions
Fuck all the talking, I'm 'bout to show you covered in mud with multiple bruising
I got to make it out of the debt I made, out of the debt that I made
Tough luck, I done built it up, up
Why stop ain't no limit 'til it pop, pop
(You never hold me like you used to)
You never hold me like, you never hold me
(You never hold me like you used to)
Bad, I'm hurt bad
Bad, I'm hurt bad
Bad, I'm hurt bad
And when I'm hurt bad, bad, I'm hurt bad
(Bad, I'm hurt bad)
You know I love you and I will until the end
I've got a love that can be hard to comprehend
It's all because I got you I don't have to bend
I get to be who I was made to be instead
Fuck being poor, I'm down at the bottom
You got a Porsche (I want to rob him)
Not that I would, but I fantasize of having a life with no money problems
I could be cruising, hand on her thigh, foot on the gas instead of illusions
(Oh my, oh my) Foot on the gas, instead of illusions
Fuck all the talking, I'm 'bout to show you covered in mud with multiple bruising
I got to make it out of the debt I made, out of the debt that I made
Tough luck, I done built it up, up
Why stop ain't no limit 'til it pop, pop
(You never hold me like you used to)
You never hold me like, you never hold me
(You never hold me like you used to)

Stopwatch (Remastered)
03:45
|

We walk around with a stopwatch
People think they have forever then our time's up
I wonder how long I have
How long I'll have on this earth before my heart stop
We walk around all the same
People always got forever on they brain
I wonder how long I have
How long I'll have on this earth before the grave
Before I take my last steps
On this earth, I'll be present with my family
So when I sleep and they lay me underground
I'll be sure that my people understand me
(Whoa oh, oh)
Before I take my last breath
On this earth, I'll have made sure to live happily
So when I sleep and they lay me down underground
I'll be sure that my people know I'm happy
It's hard to live like I know why
We live for the win and then go die
I'm wanting more out of my life
I'm mad that we killing ourselves
Our planet has taken a nose-dive
Imagine we find something else
Replacing our madness with gold lines
We hurting the babies we love
Instead of united we trust
We can't seem to get it, we stuck in the system
Of playing the victim and such
So I want to create a law, to love what I got 'til it's gone
Cuz I know I can't take for granted the people I love
Cuz the life that I live isn't long
Alright, let's bring it down for a second
I just want to talk about something super real okay
At the end of your life and mine
We are not gonna say I wish I made more money
We're not gonna say, I wish I got that promotion, or I wish I got more bonuses
I'm not even going to say I wish I had the number one song
Because at the end of my life if anything, what I'm going to desire
What I'm going to wish I did more of
Is spend time with the ones that I truly loved
It's hard to live when I know my
Time on this earth isn't so kind
People are hurting their own kind
For reasons I don't even know I'm
Caught in the middle of war mines
Imagine we didn't move so blind
We wouldn't be building rapport
With others who sit on the sidelines
Disrupting their safety with sharp knives
Is this what they want for their sons
And all of their daughters, a world full of traumas
On dark sides of a long line are we satisfied
When will love we got, I know I can't take it for granted
Now all that I have is enough
Before I take my last steps
On this earth, I'll be present with my family
So when I sleep and they lay me underground
I'll be sure that my people understand me
(Whoa oh, oh)
Before I take my last breath
On this earth, I'll have made sure to live happily
So when I sleep and they lay me down underground
I'll be sure that my people know I'm happy
All we have is right now, so slow down and breathe

I just run around the playground
I never hustle for no way out
I never ever got to feel like I'm lesser than my peers
We're walking on the same ground
My mentality is split, what it doesn't really get
Why I got to go to work, while somebody get to sit
On their ass getting rich, why we fighting over chips?
When we could've had a life, getting all that we can get
I don't want to be naive no more, I just want to be free
Live a life of luxury, no law, I just want to breathe deep, oh Lord
When I'm feeling under pressure, I don't got to go and drink no more
Put the bottle in a hole, dug deep
Right beside it lay a skeleton of me, six-feet
Memories of a past filled with agony to me
When I think about it clearly, I was who I had to be
I been swimming upstream on an ultralight beam
I been riding this high ever since I was a teen
I been trying to ask why, but I find no peace
Why did Danny got to die? Why they all got to leave?
Why do people have to suffer, never get to find relief
If I ever get this weight off my chest I'll fly free, I know it
I've grown wings, now it's do-or-die
You know, it's hard to lose a brother over suicide
When we fly in the sky we'll be home free
When you flew up in the sky you went home
So save a seat for me there when I find peace
And when I make it outta' here I'll be home
When we fly in the sky we'll be home free
When you flew up in the sky you went home
So save a seat at the top for me homie
And when I make it outta' here I'll be home
I close my eyes and picture all my family dead and gone
If it wasn't for this music I would probably see you soon
But I got some work to do, so I'll see you in a few
Keep on watching over me and help me walk out all my truth
All this hope but still I lose, life it leave me so confused
Back against the wall I'm screaming at the sky wit a burnt fuse
Feeling alone, negative thoughts all in my dome
Thinking of grabbing this polished chrome
Wit a one way ticket to my new home
Thanks for asking what's going on
Drinking a few and hearing my songs
Now, I know that life goes on, talk it out then carry on
Grandma thanks for all the love and plenty prayers that got me home
And Marcus thanks for all the laughs, I hope your finally wit your mom
Cherish the very early morn, grateful for every storm
And if it wasn't for my struggles, I would not write these songs
I try to be the best I can and pray it out and move along
But something always gotta' hit me hard to make me feel real wrong
Carry the burdens of this world, taking a toke up out the bong
Relieving the stress up out my heart, praying we all get along
If I should ever die, I'd be the brightest star up in the sky
Voice you talk to in the night, that overwhelming lullaby
Keep on reaching for the sky, we will one day learn to fly
One foot in front of the other, day-by-day give it a try
We losing people daily and I always got a teary-eye
One day it's all good, the next we can not even go outside
Keep your faith right by your side they wanna' see you mystified
Meditate the pain away, envision your life fortified
Read between the lines wit yo third eye, decipher every lie
Do it for your people up above cuz they're immortalized
When we fly in the sky we'll be home free
When you flew up in the sky you went home
So save a seat for me there when I find peace
And when I make it outta' here I'll be home
When we fly in the sky we'll be home free
When you flew up in the sky you went home
So save a seat at the top for me homie
And when I make it outta' here I'll be home
Life is good though
I want y'all to see that life is great
Um, your life is great too
Have a good time man
Have some fun, having fun is okay
Get some love in your life
Whether that be another person or just loving yourself man
Love is good, spread love, spread love
I'm out of here, I'll be back soon
