ELECTRIC
(prod. Syndrome)
Concept — Greed
INTRÖ
I’m a whole lot more, greedy than most people—
Why? Cuz’ I don’t want a little bit, I want it all!
VERSE ❶
All I really want is what I never really had
Cut a fat paycheck, give it up for my fam!
Put my mama in a crib that’s bigger than Japan
Get my brother out of debt, set-free from The Man
Man, if I made a little more I would pay for
Anything my niece might need I would pay for
If she want to go and buy things, I would pay for it
Everything my family would need would be paid for!
I would cut-ties with the sharp-side!
Zip ties snipped with a zip-line outstretched—
Overhead no plans just live!
No work just play in a land with a gift
Free to dance break it down like a champ, no stress!
No demands for the dolla get grants, no mess!
I’ll provide what they can’t, give it to you in advance—
I’ll arrive with my camp, hot merch for the fans!
HØŌK
I’m electric!
Yeah, yeah, yeah buddy I’m electric!
Whoa oh—I’m electric!
You don’t want to mess with my connection!
Not a lot people gonna’ get it
That’s fine, I don’t mind at all—
BRIDGĒ
Whatever you say—
Whenever I rep, I'ma do it for the King!
I don't want to have regrets, when they lay me in the grave...
If you're looking for the best, then homie I got a name! (Jesus!)
VERSE ❷
When I aim to please majority
Relinquish every part of me
That's arguing, we ought to be, running out of apologies!
It's not for me to be like this!
Yo, when He rewrites scripts—
He takes the lowly and says be my guest!
You won't be lonely when you see my steps!
Leading up to where you finally abide and you feel my rest...
I want to be part of your life, no guessing!
I am sure no mess, when I say
I will provide my blessing!
I am here...
OUTRÖ
I leave you better than before
Go and tell 'em who we are—
I've done settled that score!
Yeah—
I leave you better than before...
Go and tell 'em that your boy
Done settled that score!

Concept — Crippled by Loss
INTRÖ
Yeah, yeah
Fortune—
VERSE ❶ — Jayme Fortune
I feel fake, wearing a red cape
Thrown over my shoulder, is it in place?
Will I treasure my white chalk to trace?
Unfasten my yellow tape, and ride 'til I break!
Take caution! Even if I don't want to admit it
I'm a victor playing victim, in need of a new addiction
I don't embrace things...
How long have I really been a slave in the making?
Do I really love people?
Do I really even love God?
Or is it that I'm evil?
I'm not trying to be, I've only noticed
What I've boxed up for years I'm holding open...
Is it out of fear that I follow?
I don't want to burn so I turn from the bottle!
Even though it seem rather nice
I'm enticed, I don't got to think twice!
I yearn for the bottle...
It dull pain, no shame in the bottle
I could take names, break things if I want to!
Only thing holding me back is sealed glass
And a little bit of cash to grab from my stack
21 years is young, that's what they say to me...
21 years of fun, that's what they sell to me
21 years are long... The pain is hard...
But life goes on... so we should keep going
Fuck facade, all my fake friends!
You can take our shitty jobs, fuck you and fuck them!
It's shit pay, I spend hours away—
From my pen and pad... fuck that!
HØŌK
Oh Lord, I feel like I left, I know I’ve felt this way before
I’ve been called a coward, I don’t want to fall short
Still, I hear you calling, not sure what I wrestle for
I know I’ve been bitter I don’t want to be no more
VERSE ❷ — Jakkah
Why am I a coward?
Why am I too weak to pick myself up?
Why am I stuck to vises?
Should I cut the lights and just let my life end right here in silence?
No one cares, all right then
All the wrongs I’ll write them
Nonbelievers, spite them
I don’t feel alright, man
If I can’t change, I’m stuck in this pain, but I couldn’t help them
I’ma die a fake one, I don’t get it—
Why do I beat myself up for something that I didn’t do
I just wallow in endless sorrow when I think about you
If you told me how you felt, how could I have helped? Tell me what’s true...
But the whole time, I had a hunch, deep down I knew...
But, I ain’t Superman, I ain’t got no powers or a red cape
I been feeling useless, the remorse is ruthless
And I lost my bite, like I been waking up toothless
Losing my edge and I’m losing my mind
And you heard what I said, but I left you behind
Right before you took your life, you told me to keep mine
Yeah, I struggle every day with this pain in my soul
The same pain that nobody else could ever know—
OUTRÖ
One time for people who know silence
Don't cry for people who live inside it
They are the kind of people who go quietly
One in a flash, the other, He left silent
I’m so tired of people who go mindless
You dull pain with liquor and go light shit
I know why you’re hurt and don’t find it
You act like you’re fine but just hide it

(prod. Lasik)
Concept — Fears
HØŌK
I can’t fall asleep, got this evil chasing me...
I can’t even eat, now ‘cuz of what I’ve seen...
I don’t want to be deceived by this evil chasing me—
With no option to retreat, I can’t sleep until it bleeds!
VERSE ❶
I can not promise I won’t bite
You’ve known me now for my whole life
I want the cash dude, so I’m making moves, now I’ma choose sides
More signing, I got to move with a co-pilot
I can not do this alone I’m in—
Over my head but it’s so nice when—
People surround me with love that’s all I want
I’m not a gangsta, Fortune a thug!
I get what I want, so fuck what you thought!
I’m working hard, been running through mud
My fortunate few will get to the top of the lot
This here is cream of the crop, a fortunate view, kick off the coup d’état!
‘Cuz we taking over and you’ve got the crew to watch!
BRIDGĒ
Get him when he lie down!
I feel the monster under my bed...
Hit him when the lights out!
I hear the demons talk in my head...
Red rum—they gon’ chase me ‘til I’m dead (oh, no)
Red rum—what they want for me is death (oh, no)
VERSE ❷
Oh no, I’ve been wounded by the Lord
I don’t know where I should start
Is He near or is he far?
Can I reach Him by car?
Keeping time like Audemar
If I only had the bars
That’ll get me off the barge
Off to Venus in the stars
BRĒAKDØWN
Bite down like a cougar
Sink my teeth in their medullas
Keep it rocking like Tortuga
Popping off like a Rugar!
If you see me I’m Medusa
Stone-cold like I’m Buddha
What you need is in Bermuda
It’s the son, the Lion of Judah!
OUTRÖ
You could try to follow me if you want a model
If you want to share a drink you gon’ need some bottles
If you want to get ahead you’ll be Sleepy Hollow
I won’t be afraid, call me Ichabod Crane!

NEW WAVE
(prod. Syndrome)
Concept — One-Take, Intonation
HØŌK
We gon’ hit ‘em with that new sound, so make way
They gon’ tell us it be too loud we won’t change
I got something for the whole town that won’t fade
Say I’m on another level, with a—new wave!
VERSE ❶ — David Scott
New wave, riding my shit never lose steam
36 chambers like Wu-Tang
Kicking my shit like Liu Kang
Battle for my soul, ‘gainst Shao Kahn
Bunch a new shit like we on
Now they wanna snitch, we seekers
Killing these pussy’s cuz we dogs
Outta’ the pound, found an escape
Through all these sounds, that we’ve made
Going through rounds, unload at the range
Give every ounce, but we never break
Full steam ahead, I'm on tip of the iceberg
I'm going so deep, more than you see
Meeting the devil when I’m at the peak
Still have my soul and I'm moving elite
Fucka—
Oh no, I'm was losing myself
I was drowning in the mud
I was fearing myself
Now I'm climbing out the grave
This is more than a wave
This a fragment of my soul
With my brothers we change
I just, move on—
Move hard—
Keep the ice, Lord Cooler—
Feel the heat to move forward, yeah, hit ‘em.
VERSE ❷ — Jayme Fortune
I learned that I’m dope with it
Soaked with a rose-tinted
White wine with a slight-dryness on the throat
I’ve been feeling under pressure, body up against the ropes
I’ve been truly underestimated watch me rule the world
Get me a throne, somebody throw me a bone, I’ll take a spot at the top
I know you don’t like when I boast, boy, get me a spot on the roster
I know the industry need what I got
If you’ve been into it, tell me I rock
Show me some love, give me the props
I am a beast, you’re gonna’ see it in Scotty and me
He got a sling, taking the giant with ease
This ain’t a problem—
Shutting shit down, running this town, yeah nothing gon’ stop us—
We’re gonna stay up the wave we made, I do not care what it takes
I’ll do whatever to make it—
You can not break me I’m patient—
You can not stop me I’m dangerous—
Get me a record I’ll break it—
This for the whole town!
This venues sold-out...
If you been out of the loop, I’m telling you, you got get on the move, we letting loose...
We’re taking over the rails, better hold on to yourself... I’ll do it as well...

DON'T SLEEP
(prod. Syndrome)
Concept — Breaking the Mold
VERSE ❶ — Jayme Fortune
Lay it all down, put my pain in my lyrics
Stains in the finish, I’m paying for the rhythm
Stay in the pocket, like Wayne did A Milli on air—
One day be a millionaire!
I’ll make it rain like thunder in here
I’ll make it rain like a comet, get scared!
It don’t really seem fair, how the money get split
It’s rarely been shared cuz nobody give tips
Til the man on the bottom gets lynched!
(Oh my!) Then buried by the rich!
The people on the bottom get scary like It
And I don’t like that, I don’t need that shit…
HØŌK
What you got, ain't clean
What you want, ain't me
What I got locked up in my keep my brother hold up, hold up
(Locked up but I want to be free...)
What you got, don’t sleep
What you want’s got teeth
What I got locked up set free my brother hold up, hold up
(Locked up but I want to be free...)
VERSE ❷ — Noble
Locked up, don’t want to be seen
On my game I can go for a spree
Little things don’t meet my needs
I’m a king, need a bag full of treats
Feel the burn, look how I be
Not ashamed, kill these facts for free
Stay cool is the only key
For some that can only dream
Beg for your life so (yeah, yeah)
I can take it for the minute
If not, I can finish, my words is my rifle (yeah, yeah)
If you think that I’m finished
I’m built something different
What you got ain’t mean
What you want ain’t clean
When I get locked up, I’m free, yeah
Hold up (I don’t, I don’t, I don’t)
What you got ain’t clean
What you got ain’t mean
When I set it all free, cuz you know that I’m hold up
I don’t want to get locked up…
I’m just on my way up…
OUTRÖ
Y’all don’t sleep on me
(Don’t fall asleep on me)
Y’all don’t fall—
Y’all don’t fall asleep now
Don’t fall asleep now
Y’all don’t sleep on me, yeah
Homie don’t sleep on me, yeah
Homie don’t sleep on me
Don’t sleep on me
Don’t fall asleep on me
