Look at my life I aint have it easy
Real cold Winters
Sometimes
It felt like it was the only season
(Unh)
6 months long
That mean you had to come 6 months strong
They be like Ridge
What's is you on
All on my phone
All in my home
All in my crib
All in my bag
All in my shirt
Just popped tags
Aim for the Riches
I just had rags
They don't understand all the times we had
All them nights I went out sad
All in nem cribs aint have no mask
Took my leg up out the cask then put my foot up on that gas
Shordy I'm up in the mix
I aint really tryna take no pics
I'm ready to go
Man It aint been Nan winter
That done came by here one year
And didn't have snow
Shordy I was 19 whipping that veno round the corner with Timberland boots and a fro
I aint have money
I was damn nid poor
Gotta make it look good
You know how that go
Man I be going so fast
Ride right past
They be like Ridge you gotta take it easy
Eyything I'm doing right now
I said I was gone do then
But they aint believe me
Just got cold outside
I just bopped out
You know that thats my season
Just took a lost but I can't go
Shordy you know I gotta get even
I work everyday round the clock
It seem like yall do this at yall leisure
It's so many lights on my neck and my wrist yall mess around have a seizure
I take a pic but I aint cheesing
I'm cashing out on my visa
I cant do this without Jesus
I
I was up north in a northface coat
I was outwest rocking a beanie
I was riding round playing that music so loud
You can hear me before you can see me
I had dreams of being on tv
I was hungry and they aint feed me
They tried to dim light
Instead I kept on beaming
I done went hard in the day time
I done went hard in the evening
My Granny Died
I took it hard
I was down in Mexico grieving
They told me stop
I told em nah shordy
I just kept on believing
She think about me at night
I told her keep on dreaming
I been sonning em since I was young
They babies tell em drink pedialyte
I was selling dreams
I was putting that bug her in ear
She prolly won't see me tonight
I was hurt and I wasn't healing right
I wasn't feeling right
I wasn't living right
I was locked in
I done lost track of time
Ion even know what a minute like
I bossed up
God led the way
I done left it all in the back mirror
I'm cool now
I'm at peace
They try tried to blind me
I see clearer
Im In the zone and they can't stop me
Aint coming close
cant get near it
I'm out the way cuz they acting weird
I put the truth up in every lyric

Dark Side of the Moon
01:14
|
|||
Welcome to the nighttime
I'm in the dark but I might shine
She tryna sell me something ion really want it but u might buy it
I'm like a kite but I might dive
tryna dodge the school to prison pipeline
Give shordy a high 5
Nah I aint coming to yo side
She said she bad
I'm said I'm rich
I guess we both lied
I'm outta town I'm on a beach
I'm on a boatside
One touched my girl
One tried to kill me and they both died
He saw my style
He ride my wave
But its a low tide
My Granny Died I saw my pops
And then we both cried
We aint show each other
But inside it's so sad
Thank God I got God
without her
feel I got no guide
They show hate and then they say they don't mean nun by it
I'm in the cut
I'm out the way
But no I don't hide
My tired popped they tried to leave me on the roadside
But You know that I aint finna go
I'm on the dark side of the moon
They tryna put me in a tomb
They tryna lead me to my doom
Have you seen a flower bloom
Have you ever been in a cocoon
I been thinking bout the winter since June
This the dark side of the moon
Me Ion like to assume
But im finna come soon
Tell my haters make room
Cuz I got alot to prove
I been waiting on the winter since the womb

What's a generation without general direction?
What's the point of giving love if you don't get affection?
What's a curse to a man who never get a blessing?
What's destiny if you don't know who you are to be destined?
What's a answer to a question if you used to guessing?
What's a insurrection?
What's a new election?
What's the point of making a promise if you forget it?
Tell me what's a president if he aint even present?
What's the point of doing right you don't go to heaven?
Tell me how could you go right if you don't know what left is?
Tell me how could you know God if you dont feel his presence?
And tell me how you know his word if you aint never read it?
How you feel the pain in his blood if you never bled it?
What's the point of reading a verse if you never get it?
What's the point of drawing conclusions if it's alledged?
What's the point of doing work if you don't get the credit?
Tell me who you pay when you indebted?
What's the point to get up and go if you don't know where you headed?
Tell me who in this world can heal you when you don't trust the medic?
How could you make an honest living when the pay is pathetic?
Tell me where the pics without the edit?
Why I feel like I'm repeating myself when I never said it?
What's a brand new day when you giving into yo old habits?
What's the point of talking about something when you don't know about it?
If they know you but they don't feel you what good is omnipresence?
And If everybody turn on you what good is all the status?
You make a decision what good is it to regret it?
You aint mean it what good is it for you to have even said it
What is a record deal nowadays without the leverage?
What's the point of stressing on something that you can't even manage?
How is you gone miss something but you took it for granted?
And How is you gone hurt someone but can't live with the damage?

Visit me in my dreams for a sec
I won't be long
Let's catch up on some things
Can you please pick up the phone
I cant stop thinking about you when I'm on my own
(Awehhhhaa)
Whered I'd be without you (adlib) I don't know
Young boy
Stuck in the silence
He don't know where to go
When he's up inside it
Crying
Fighting
Finding himself hiding
(Finding himself hiding)
Wondering who will find him
Someone comes beside him
Smiling
She's said it's okay
Wipe yo face stop all the whining
Everything'll be just fine
It's all in God's timing
He started climbing
When he started trying
We he looked back
He aint notice she started dying
Visit me in my dreams for a sec
I won't be long
Let's catch up on some things
Can you please pick up the phone
I cant stop thinking about you when I'm on my own
(Awehhhhaa)
Whered I'd be without you (adlib) I do not know
Your second born had told me to tell you hey
I was trapped in my mind
It honestly slipped away
Your first born
He actually moved out of state
(I usually only talk to him when he pick up the rent)
Your 3rd born she actually doing great
Connecting more with her kids
But thank you for the crib
If it was up to me
I rather have you in the crib where I live
It's only passed down the generation
Can't help but think bout the days we used to talk outside
You always gave me my ways
Was I your favorite guy
The smile you put on my face when I Iooked in your eyes
(Still feel that feeling today)
But that's the feeling okay
(Yuh yuh yuh)
Visit me in my dreams for a sec
I won't be long
Let's catch up on some things
Can you please pick up the phone
I cant stop thinking about you when I'm on my own
(Awehhhhaa)
Whered I'd be without you (adlib) I do not know

Moms and Pops
02:44
|
|||
It's been a long time since I lived with my mom's and my pops
I'm 28
I was 21 when I left the house
At 17 I was dreaming about making it out
I told myself I need some Ms inside my bank account
I'm used to giving my all and getting little to nothing
I'm used to people seeing me and then jump to assumptions
I mean jump to conclusions
I made something from nothing
I see the devil everyday tryna come for my comfort
I see the hate
I'm not wondering bout where did it come from
I'm used to giving all I got to the people that want some
I'm working hard everyday I stack and make me lump sum
I told my steppops back in the day that I would become some
My pops looked me in the eye
and told to me get serious
So I got on my grind
I done fought through the tears
It's been multiple years
I had multiple fights
I had multiple days when I didn't sleep through the night
I done fought through the fears
And I had to make an ammends
Because I got lost in my sins
I'm taking that loss on the chin
I came here to win
I'm focused on making it in
Mistakes that I made in the past
I hope I don't make em again
Nowadays I live my life and know the meaning of it
I tell myself when it get hard
Just remember to love it
The devil pull me to the ground
I put my feet above it
Just keep it cool and keep believing and dreaming beloved
What's a life without a little bit of controversy
Oh Lord have mercy
You showed me all the things that'll hurt me
I call my mom from time to time and she usually worried
I pray the Lord give her peace and all her burdens are burried
I live life in a hurry
I went hard in my 20s
I done made it to 25 tryna make it to 30
My spirit dirty I'm tryna make it clean thats for certain
The fallen angels are lurking and their king is the serpent
My days are getting shorter
My life is moving faster
I love the church
But I can't put my faith in a pastor
Mom's and Pops wasn't together guess that Imma bastard
The feelings last so long
You can hear the pain in my laughter
I make music with passion
Back then they thought I was average
Imma eat a beat
You can take what I don't eat right after
I'm the type to want it straight
No need to chase it or bag it
Got God in my music
I don't need a label to back it
I'm so confident in him and myself
They Thought I was bragging
A beam to the world
And They come to me like I'm a magnet
I'm striving everyday to get away from dirty habits
See sum bad I take it away
See sum good then I add it
But my righteousness dirty rags to the one thats above me
The way you talk to me at my lowest show that you love me
A couple months ago in my life it really got ugly
Sometimes I wish my Granny was still alive just to hug me
But Nowadays I live my life and know the meaning of it
I tell myself when it get hard
Just remember to love it
The devil pull me to the ground
I put my feet above it
Just keep it cool and keep believing and dreaming beloved

Feeling myself
Lately I'm healing
Lately I'm getting away from the things thats killing myself
Lately
I been kicking it with me
I chill with myself
How could I ever be real to you if I aint real to myself
Lately I'm focused I aint hoping
I'm just doing what I'm pose to
Im just bickin back n bool and big and bad
And I aint boasting
I aint going out without a fight
I'm swinging it aint over
And im swinging so much you thought that my name was Sammy sosa
I aint sick
So I could not Pop a pill with myself
Imma get rich one day and imma split a mill with myself
I just took myself out to eat and split the bill with myself
How you expect me to deal witchu
If I cant deal with myself
Lately I been reaching for the stars
I could see a new level
Lately im dodging the devil
Ironically still hot as ever
If he close then please Lord reveal him
I'm tryna find ways to kill him
They asking me how im doing and I don't know what to tellem
I guess Im just
Feeling myself
Lately I'm healing myself
Lately I'm getting away from the things thats killing myself
Lately
I been kicking it with me
I chill with myself
How could I ever be real to you if I aint real to myself
Lately
I been eating some foods that's been good for my health
Cooking so much in the kitchen
They thought that I was a chef
And I been focusing on some things thats gone gain me some wealth
Quitting my 9 until 5
F it
I'll bet on myself
Dodging the negative vibes
Putting the hate on the shelf
I see the hate in yo eyes
Is that a H on yo chest
You is the superman type
You thought yo last name was Kent
I'm seeing everything thatchu doing and I'm not impressed
Uhh
Imma go and get me some cake
Imma bake it myself
I'm the type to what see I want and then I take it myself
If they don't give me a way
F it I'll make it myself
No I can't wait on Noone else
I barely wait on myself
Lil baby if outside too much for you
Then stay in the house
Some Make a way
Some Make an excuse and im making it out
Some Make a move
Some making it up
And I'll make an account
Some block the hate
Some blocking the road
So I make me a route
Cuz im just feeling myself
Lately I'm healing myself
Lately I'm getting away from the things thats killing myself
Lately
I been kicking it with me
I chill with myself
How could I ever be real to you if I aint real to myself
Lately
I been feeling okay I been taking some steps
It's been hard and I feel like I really been helping myself
Guess I aint used to being the one that be needing some help
Im so used to doing it on own like
aint no else
Imma get it and get it done get it no matter the amount
After I get it
I'll get it again and then im giving it out
And I aint giving in giving up getting out
Getting it where I gotta
And they know when I get it then imma go and make it count
Lately I been watching the words that come up out my mouth
Pacing myself
I aint been running it all the time
I'm sitting relaxing letting my feet recline on the couch
You watching me you need to watch the kids that's up in yo house
They make up the truth
Make a story
Before they make a dime
I take my time
You can see it
If im lying im dying
It's the signs of the times
So im minding mine
So you can look in my mind
And tell me what do you find
Im just feeling myself
Lately I'm healing myself
Lately I'm getting away from the things thats killing myself
Lately
I been kicking it with me
I chill with myself
How could I ever be real to you if I aint real to myself
I guess im just
Feeling myself
Lately I'm healing myself
Lately I'm getting away from the things thats killing myself
Lately
I been kicking it with me
I chill with myself
How could I ever be real to you if I aint real to myself

Life like a seesaw
Going back n forth
Some say its priceless
And some kill ya for a cost
On a side note
RIP to Young Dolph
Why you always playing games
Come on we adults
You'll think after a while they'll get exhausted
I had so many thoughts
Man I almost lost it
Tryna get my money long like a neck of an ostrich
Always eating ramen
I be using chopsticks
Catch me riding to the lake
Just to see what God did
Ion even understand how you can be agnostic
The world is mine I got infinite options
In my own lane I do the boxes
People talk so much i don't know who cops is
Boa you hate so much you don't know who yo opps is
I be timmy tucked
They don't know where I been
From the westside off of western and Ogden
Ridgio entered the chat
And I just logged in
They aint neva make em like me
Imma one of one
Im the type that chu can
Put ya money on
Watch out you can get blind staring at the sun
When I come in
it get hot
Turn the air on
Shoes dirty so I put another pair on
Tellem when I play ion play fair at all
If they think that i care uh they're wrong
Woke up to somebody taking shots air ball
I'm the type to get gone like I aint there at all
Talking down on my name in private
But I hear it all
They be unaware
But the hate so clear (aw)
Im type to go and get a bag then share (aw)
You the type to see me ride past and stare (oh)
Chiraq villain take a trip to my lair (oh)
Name aint Rick gotta whole lotta Flare though
Whole lotta music asking where did my chair go
I love the people
So I hit em with the peoples elbow
Knock em out
Turn a man knees to JELLO
Oh he sleep he gone need a pillow
They aint neva make em like me
Imma one of one
Im the type that chu can
Put ya money on
Watch out you can get blind staring at the sun
When I come in

Turn the air on

Nothing can hinder me
I stay to myself
I protect all my energy
You cannot get rid of me
I plan to be here for infinity years
And im finna be
They gone get sick of me
You gotta be kidding me
Thinking you ending me
That really tickle me
Think you offending me
And you not even my enemy
This like a gym to me
Im running laps onna track
And aint nobody near to me
You not a peer to me
How it appear to me
You more like a banana peel to me
Slipping up cuz you been tripping
You might as well give up yo goals
Tryna get to me
been in the crib for 2 months
Locking in
But honestly
It feel like a year to me
I do it simply
I can I record every day every week every month
Aint no end to me
Im sick of people
Out here fornicating
Then covering it up
With the word polygamy
Unfortunately if you out here like that in the world
Then you really aint kin to me
They fill em with venom
Its constantly killing em
They don't take the time to even see
Its like this sea to sea
People with bedebees
Israelites ultimately
Other nations are vultures to me
Tryna take from the culture
And ultimately
They take more from us
Thats on us too
We aint open to see
What we went through to get here
Its over
And COVID cant even make em see the Lord
They repeat
What they did to get here
They cant beat it
Pressure
Its on em
I make em learn a lesson
If they think they really want it
They think they that presence precious
I dont even really want it
That stuff make me sick
You effing up
I mess around and vomit

Better Days
03:44
|
|||
I'm looking for better days like Makaveli
My palms sweaty
My heart heavy
I'm not ready
My knees weak
The pain grows
My head hurts
The love fades
I cant find it
But still search
The tears dried
They not wiped
They still drip
I love God
I dodge fire
I'm still lit
I'm still turnt
I'm still wild
I'm still reckless
I'm still damaged
I live life
I'm still average
I'm still sane
I still see
I'm still woke
I still love
I still dream
I still hope
I still cope
I still breathe
I still choke
I'm still tired
I still work
I'm still broke
I'm still caught in the midst of trouble
But won't evade it
I still clock in my 9 to 5
I still hate it
I'm good natured
With bad habits
That's Ill favored
I still want reparations
I'm still waiting
I'm looking for better days like Mo3
They know it's me
But still acting like they don't notice me
I'm in a loop
I'm feeling trapped
I'm feeling boxed in
My girl ain't feeling me
Cuz my masculinity toxic
I'm in the tropics
I'm mentally prisoned like I'm not here
I cant avoid it
I feel a void
I cannot stop it
I try my hardest
I feel for others but not regarded
My bones are shaken
I feel forsaken
I feel forgotten
I wana lock in
But bills are coming
I gotta clock in
I'm not shopping
So Stop asking
I don't got it
I'm not rich
I'm not wealthy
I'm not an object
They try to take me
They try to use me
I won't allow it
I'm outta space
I'm outta orbit
I'm on a comet
I love my girl when she at the crib and she wear her bonnet
I go outside
I spit a verse and change the climate
I from Chicago
Where cracking cards
And and petty crimes at
At times it's big
They found his body
His momma crying
His homies mad
Retaliate
They die behind it
Endless cycle
Never ending
Never Finite
I hurt my mama too
I know what the pain her cry like
I see his timeline
I check the news
I see the highlights
I see the twilight
I know what drunk like
I know what high like
I'm far from perfect
I'm far from quiet
I know what shy like
I see the end
I know it's coming
I know what Bye like
I'm looking for better days like Jaydayoungan
Slowly and everyday I feel like I'm to something
My heart is pumping
My blood rushing
My toes touching
I wanted everything in the world
But I chose nothing
I chose life
I chose love
I chose peace
I chose you in hopes of one day you'll choose me
I chose purpose
I chose abundance
And chased a bag
I ran around so much I lost everything that I had
I made em cry
I made em weep
I made em mad
I made em laugh
I made em smile
I made em glad
I made em hurt
I made em feel
I gave em hell
I went to school
I came home
I went to jail
At times I tripped
At times I stumbled
But never fell
I drive my car
I ride my bike
I took the L
I'm in the club
The girls chase
I keep it player
They see my work
They know my name
But never say it
They in the party
They see my music
But never play it
I go to work
I write a song
Then go to bed
They know the truth
They won't say it
They still scared
They still thirst
They still hunger
But not fed
The whole word
Don't subtract
Do not add
It's not a vibe
It's not a trend
It's not a fad
I live a life
With good days and some sad
But can't act
Like everything
Is all bad
