All That I Do
03:44
|
|||
(Verse 1)
It was the year of 1991
My Mother gave birth to an untimely son
Shit was crazy growing up hearing the beats and the treble
A Christmas baby which would lead me to believe I was special
So I ran with it, wrote rhythms now here I am
As the chosen poet rockin’ my writtens for loyal fans
It’s the one man band with the mic in my hand
New school Guru I’ll leave you right where you stand
Was taught by Gang Starr, about the game and how to play it
Once you Step In The Arena it’s a Daily Operation
Hard To Earn just a microphone and a booth
I put my life in what I write this is my Moment Of Truth
So I live for the moment and own it with no limits
Wrote hits for my homies to quote it this flow’s vicious
These are cold writtens, so siddick, I’m no gimmick
I’m my own worst critic with the microphone spittage
(Chorus)
Its kind of simple how I’m living my life
Rock mics and get respect for the hits that I like
Ain’t manipulating schemes, I’m just living my dreams
Hoping eventually the ends justify the means
The infinite main source is where I get it from
God is both second to none and part of everyone
For all my people yo this one is for you
Seek peace, speak truth, this is All That I Do
(Verse 2)
Yo there’s two kinds of people in this world that you’ll find
There’s the people who live and the people who comply
There’s a divide, and the choice is yours
To choose sides with the wise or resort to norms
Ignoring the course of the Lord, sketching up other angles
Destined for something shameful, letting the money change you
Tryna live up to expectations you ain’t able to
You’re just a product of the pressure that’s been placed on you
I can relate to depression and pain
View it from both sides with my ambidextrous brain
That found faith to capture this as I’m writing it
Cause misery is the catalyst to enlightenment
Forever question the status quo and discover gold
There’s never growth found within your own comfort zone
Yo, so which side are you on?
You either comply and conform or you strive and live on
Let’s Go
(Chorus)
Its kind of simple how I’m living my life
Rock mics and get respect for the hits that I like
Ain’t manipulating schemes, I’m just living my dreams
Hoping eventually the ends justify the means
The infinite main source is where I get it from
God is both second to none and part of everyone
For all my people yo this one is for you
Seek peace, speak truth, this is All That I Do
(Verse 3)
I represent to give my fans a voice
Steady riding that fine line between chance and choice
Went against the grain, spoke and stayed conscious when I wrote
Took the opposite approach and got the opposite results
Yo, stayed afloat through the flows in my notepad
It’s so sad, we all want what we don’t have
Shortsighted as a rival in spite
Tryna gain what I’ve obtained throughout my life overnight
You gotta separate yourselves from the scams and the greed
About our planet I would read, that’s what planted the seed
The aim is to take your brain and make it lucrative
Do what you love and find a way to make a living doing it
So fuck cash, it’s way bigger than that
Without a record deal homie this is realer than rap
This is my soul’s purpose, I don’t do it for other reasons
This is where I’m from, where I’ve been, and what I believe in
(Chorus)
Its kind of simple how I’m living my life
Rock mics and get respect for the hits that I like
Ain’t manipulating schemes, I’m just living my dreams
Hoping eventually the ends justify the means
The infinite main source is where I get it from
God is both second to none and part of everyone
For all my people yo this one is for you
Seek peace, speak truth, this is All That I Do

Shallow Valley
03:53
|
|||
(Intro)
I got some people with me rockin’ while the beat is steady knockin’
With some weed up in my pocket and enjoyin’ the flow
So I’ma probably get to jottin’ I ain’t got no other options
With no dollars in your pocket you’ve got nowhere to go
(Verse 1)
So come and take a ride with me through the valley
West Coast vibes cause my weed’s imported from Cali
I’d like to welcome ya’ll to a place where egos exist
A small town so you know that they’ll be eager to diss
Cause I’m the same funky brother I ain’t gotta pretend
While you lames are constantly changing and following trends
While that same kid who was too cool for school in Junior High’s
Now applying for a job in a suit and a tie (Aww)
Wasted your main skills chasin’ them fake thrills
Strugglin’ to pay bills codependent on pain pills
That same chick I used to dream I was with
Is now a tramped out slut that I ain’t interested in
Like those same kids who used to diss and think I was wack
Were into trap and nowadays don’t even listen to rap
So I don’t take it personally that you’ve broken my heart
Its insecurity cause you don’t really know who you are
(Chorus)
Now I realize that everybody’s paying bills and working
But every time I see you you’re acting like a different person
I question why you haven’t stayed in your lane
And they’ll say hey look around you people change everyday
But I’ve been the same Hip Hoper from day one
Same sweatpants, still smokin’ the same blunts
You changed up for the bills to get paid
For a 401K and 4 minutes of fame
(Verse 2)
I’m just a laid back rapper having fun
Tryna blaze fat marijuana bluntage to my lungs
While that same dude I used to think I wanted to be
Is now a junkie and dating a girl that’s younger than me
While the same people who refuse the blunt when I pass it
Are the first ones up at the bar drunk getting plastered
While that same scum bag who was a dealer and addict
Became a cop that just currently pulled me over in traffic
The way I see it this mentality is dangerous
Everyday people sell their souls without becoming famous
Just for some payments until all of the cash comes
While friends are quick to give that ass up for a fast buck
I used to try to rhyme to gain some appeal
But now I’m not even sure if what I’ve been chasing is real
Like that same dude who used to tease me in school
Is now my #1 fan so believe me its cool
(Chorus)
Now I realize that everybody’s paying bills and working
But every time I see you you’re acting like a different person
I question why you haven’t stayed in your lane
And they’ll say hey look around you people change everyday
But I’ve been the same Hip Hoper from day one
Same sweatpants, still smokin’ the same blunts
You changed up for the bills to get paid
For a 401K and 4 minutes of fame
(Verse 3)
Now over half my neighborhood is obnoxious
The other half are strugglin’ and steady hooked on Suboxin
This Heroine epidemic’s got my town in depression
My other friend just got arrested now in jail for possession
My boss’s nephew overdosed dying dead from drugs
Leaving his brother a sonless father, that’s the second one
Plus my Uncle just got his kidney replaced
Man I could give a shit about how many bitches you slay, bruh
I ain’t amused by your promiscuous ways
Your favorite entertainer’s now being convicted for rape
Your second favorite’s probably made some inappropriate comments
A borderline perv but at least we know that he’s honest
My ex-girl’s got some kind of mental disorder
Which if I knew at the time I could’ve been there to support her
Damn, feeling shitty daily risking my health
Like what a pity I think I’ve got a condition myself
(Chorus)
Now I realize that everybody’s paying bills and working
But every time I see you you’re acting like a different person
I question why you haven’t stayed in your lane
And they’ll say hey look around you people change everyday
But I’ve been the same Hip Hoper from day one
Same sweatpants, still smokin’ the same blunts
You changed up for the bills to get paid
For a 401K and 4 minutes of fame

Raised Right
03:51
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Ayo this beat makes me reminisce when we were perverse kids
To play in a Major League game was my 1st wish
A righty hitter, wanted to be lefty and turned switch
Found faith from a young age and learned since
My 2nd wish was the taste of a girl’s lips
So one day I could maybe lay in my first kiss
My 3rd wish was to rhyme and be a wordsmith
Travel the globe with these flows and let the verse rip
Cause I was always too shy to ever speak
Not knowing that I was probably vibing to a beat
Constantly surrounded by my sisters shouting and singing
Feminine cause I was raised within a house full of women
I let the rhythm hit em slow till it dropped their jaws
In the middle of them both’s where I watched it all
With mad love whenever the kid came through
And started writing rhymes before my 2nd wish came true
But
(Chorus)
I chose rap cause I studied the game right
And vowed everyday to celebrate it in plain sight
I’ll day write what I say in the same night
Convey light and display truth with the same light
Cause in the past my parents put in a huge effort
So I had no excuse cause I knew better
So everyday I thank God I was raised right
And gave me the confidence to conquer the stage freight
(Verse 2)
Cause how we live is always family first
So every Sunday that I can I take my Granny to church
To thank God for the hope and the relief
For my flow and for these beats and my soul for you to keep
For my Mom who I’d lean on when I was weak
She would kiss on my palm and tell me hold it to my cheek
Whenever I felt alone whether sad or disturbed
Tried it later on and found out it actually worked
Damn, dreaded standardized tests and report cards
Even though I knew I’d be rewarded if I worked hard
The only son wasn’t there with any brothers
You’re your own man Sam don’t compare yourself to others
But take comfort from your Mother’s embrace
And what you can do is try to learn from other’s mistakes
And don’t repeat your own, always grow and you can get by
These are the quotables and morals that I live by
(Chorus)
I chose rap cause I studied the game right
And vowed everyday to celebrate it in plain sight
I’ll day write what I say in the same night
Convey light and display truth with the same light
Cause in the past my parents put in a huge effort
So I had no excuse cause I knew better
So everyday I thank God I was raised right
And gave me the confidence to conquer the stage freight
(Verse)
I’m just a product of my conscious as a kid
On an upstate trip, but not to do a bid
See that’s just where I live, headed home way late again
From a week day game played at Shea Stadium
Nothing better than being taken to a ball game
Wearing my Dad’s glove in case a foul ball came
And even though I never got to see him play
I would always say my favorite player is Willie Mays
From the praise my Dad gave, worshiping him play
From Hank A., Williams, and Roberto Clemente
These were the types of greats that I would try to emulate
Passion dedication with a calm and humble mental state
Just like my Dad so I give them both credit
Taught to always show respect even if you don’t get it
And never play for the money and fame
Hustle everyday and do it for the love of the game
Word
(Chorus)
I chose rap cause I studied the game right
And vowed everyday to celebrate it in plain sight
I’ll day write what I say in the same night
Convey light and display truth with the same light
Cause in the past my parents put in a huge effort
So I had no excuse cause I knew better
So everyday I thank God I was raised right
And gave me the confidence to conquer the stage freight

Jump For Joy
04:05
|
|||
(Intro x2)
I’ve been nice since I was just a boy
Feelin’ so full of life I could Jump For Joy
I wish everyday could be like this
World peace over beats that would be my wish
I said
(Verse)
You know I got the remedy for your health
So why don’t you go and keep that negativity to yourself
Cause I got wealth, but not the kind that buys you a belt
This type of spiritual fulfillment you can’t find on the shelf
Artistic healing that I needed to let go
Every beat and every flow what you’re seeing is my soul
I write like every night’s the 1st inning
And love life cause life is love and worth living
Blessed to be alive through his energy divine
An enemy of God is an enemy of mine
Ayo cause I’m a believer that’s why I came to set it
And when I check it you know I’ll be unapologetic
I rock breaks to the sway of the swing set
Already grateful for what the day didn’t bring yet
Before it flew by, watching the moon rise
Viewing through my youth’s eye, nothing but blue skies
(Chorus)
So I give thanks through the grace of my pen
Give praise and repent so the day can begin
Cause I’m an MC, don’t make me say it again
I don’t hate to lose cause I ain’t even playin’ to win
I just play for fun till the days are done
Blaze a blunt and bump to bass and drums
Under rays of sun where my faith was sprung
Embrace the one above my complaints are none
(Verse 2)
Yo I’ve been blessed from birth on the quest to search for words
To check my verse and accept my worth
When I found faith cause there’s more to receive
So my Fordham degree just ain’t that important to me
As long as the sun’s up I’ll never frown
Cause there’s always more than enough love to go around
Mistakes in decisions can make you great if you just listen
Gotta take what you’re given and self create what you envision
I’ve written this to capture my own truth in words
Living life as the master of my own universe
I’ve been abandoned/heartbroke and I learned from that
Backstabbed to the point I’m no longer concerned with that
I just make sure when I flow that you feel it
Overly devoted and got too much soul to conceal it
Yeah, cause only God can judge the things that a man choose
And with that approach I’m telling you that I can’t lose
(Chorus)
So I give thanks through the grace of my pen
Give praise and repent so the day can begin
Cause I’m an MC, don’t make me say it again
I don’t hate to lose cause I ain’t even playin’ to win
I just play for fun till the days are done
Blaze a blunt and bump to bass and drums
Under rays of sun where my faith was sprung
Embrace the one above my complaints are none
(Verse 3)
Some days are great, some days are sad
But there’s always enough good to outweigh the bad
I’ve got 99 problems but a chick ain’t one
Been ghosted and dumped on, but the kid ain’t done
I just took some time for my mind, soul, and my heart
These thoughts were sparked on long walks alone in the dark
I’m building an ark, through bars, beats, and bass and I’ma give it time
Cause life ain’t a race and faith don’t have a finish line
So I’ma wake and bake at 8 in the morning
Sit on the porch and pour myself some OJ in a 40
Then go for a jog, fore the reefer begins to spark
And if it’s charged then bring that portable speaker to the park
Ayo ain’t no need to roll deep, I don’t hold heat
What you’re witnessing is world peace over dope beats
I’m too high to get caught in the bull
Had an empty glass this whole time and thought it was full
(Chorus)
So I give thanks through the grace of my pen
Give praise and repent so the day can begin
Cause I’m an MC, don’t make me say it again
I don’t hate to lose cause I ain’t even playin’ to win
I just play for fun till the days are done
Blaze a blunt and bump to bass and drums
Under rays of sun where my faith was sprung
Embrace the one above my complaints are none
(Outro)
I’ve been nice since I was just a boy
Feelin’ so full of life I could Jump For Joy
Lookin’ back thinkin’ where did the years pass?
With condensation sweatin’ out the side of my beer glass
My new school groove’s smoother than Ice Tea
With Fruit Loops over two scoops of some ice cream
I wish everyday could be like this
World peace over beats that would be my wish

Crazy Blunted Style
03:55
|
|||
(Intro)
Here comes the Crazy Blunted Style take a hit of this
Here comes the dutch take a puff
I said here comes the Crazy Blunted Style take a hit of this
Here comes the dutch take a puff
(Verse 1)
Ayo it’s SC Stat, the civil Rick James
I’ma rip this till ya’ll remember the kid’s name
My mic toy’s a handgun when I click, BANG!
A white boy who can’t jump, but I spit flames
It’s like this, deliver the rhyme with damn swag
The minute I hear the baseline, my pants sag
With a smirk for dumb jerks, sit em to the turf
I’ma curse, kick up dirt, hit em where it hurts
With a verse through mad words to come and defeat you
They call me old school cause I got something to teach you
Something to freak to, staying true to the culture
Move the crowd and rock the party like I’m supposed ta
John Travulta style a rapper with mad groove
That smooth, Static’s on the travel like bad news
So roll it up in a chocolate blunt
I thought I told ya’ll before You Can’t Stop Tha Funk!
(Chorus)
Cause I’m the one who’s got blunts and the paper
You’re the one who’s got skunk in your vapor
I’m the one who’s got drums for your neighbors
Thump the bass and mix the funk with the flavor
I’m the one who’s got blunts and the paper
You’re the one who’s got skunk in your vapor
I just came to kick a groove and have a fun time
That’s just how we gotta do it for the ’19
(Verse 2)
Like what you gon’ puff? Philly or the blunt?
I bump through the grittiest city silly with a strut
Really I got nothing to offer but rockin’ a stage show
Ain’t got no change bro, but I came with an 8th though
I chain smoke dro never needed a wax pen
The same funk flow from the cheeba reaction
So get lost bro why you checkin’ your stop watch
You can’t handle the smoke then get the heck out the hot box
I’m getting blazed to the roar of that fat bass
If I’m late I’ll be there a quarter passed half baked
Bop through boroughs just to rock the world
Ain’t got no girl, but I’ve got plenty pot to twirl
This is strictly blunt rap, I ain’t doing no drug rap
I’m just the one responsible for bringing that funk back
So give me love as I rhyme with a passion
Line for line whenever it’s time for some action
(Chorus)
Cause I’m the one who’s got blunts and the paper
You’re the one who’s got skunk in your vapor
I’m the one who’s got drums for your neighbors
Thump the bass and mix the funk with the flavor
I’m the one who’s got blunts and the paper
You’re the one who’s got skunk in your vapor
I just came to kick a groove and have a fun time
That’s just how we gotta do it for the ’19
(Verse 3)
Took the piff from my skunk and filled in my blunt
From the tip of my tongue I lit to my lungs
Over kicks and live drums I spit for the slums
Cause I did what I’ve done, I live for the funk
I’m just too fly son to side with a chump
So I hit the La once and ride on a punk
I rhyme ruff, you hear the baseline from the trunk
High from the blunt, I’ll bump and die for the funk
Like once again back is the incredible
THC on the streets has gone medical
Let the piff stink I’m never gonna drink
My shrink ended up paying me to tell her what I think
Unlock the code open when I spit flame throwin’
Then rock the show flowin’ till my pit stains showin’
So breathe inhale and prepare to get stoned
Then throw your hands in the air whether you care or you don’t
Come on
(Chorus)
Cause I’m the one who’s got blunts and the paper
You’re the one who’s got skunk in your vapor
I’m the one who’s got drums for your neighbors
Thump the bass and mix the funk with the flavor
I’m the one who’s got blunts and the paper
You’re the one who’s got skunk in your vapor
I just came to kick a groove and have a fun time
That’s just how we gotta do it for the ’19

(Intro x2)
We just some spitters on the prowl
Controlling the mic sound and this is how it’s going down
(Verse 1)
It’s really rare that you could find someone as true as me
Socially aware enough to care for my community
Generous to the extent of my gratuity
Amped up, over prepared for any opportunity
Was making moves while you made an excuse
It seems while I was paying dues you were paying for views
I hate when sucker rappers rhyme on the damn mic
Who wanna freestyle all the time cause they can’t write
Before they even rap they just stand with a stare
Barking orders at the crowd to throw their hands in the air
Yeah, demanding respect you’re wack and you just proved it
Don’t gotta ask fans to react, they just do it
I’m on call round the clock to rip a tight jam
One of the few to hold it down without a hype man
The rest of you are just pretenders and gimmicks
Only here to last as long as the trends that you mimic
(Chorus)
Like Yo! You’re shtick’s gettin’ kinda old
Everywhere I go I see the same bit at every show
Your music ain’t about shit it’s just nonsense
More concerned about your outfit than your content
So help me out cause I don’t quite understand
What’s the reason everybody’s overhyping your brand
I see the image you’ve created with a marketing plan
But who’s the man behind the man with the mic in his hand?
(Verse 2)
Cause you don’t have the hand gestures or the breath control
The fundamentals of stage presence to bless the flow
Scared to rap without a shot or a beer
On instagram posting acting like you’ve got a career
I’ve had it up to here with MC’s with no writtens
Cause those followers ain’t real and neither is your image
Unoriginal pathetic invention
Just another desperate attempt at you gettin’ attention
Prima Donna rapper acting like a friggen star
We’re not even half as important as we think we are
A real head could give a crap bout your hit track
So I don’t give daps if I think that your shit’s wack
Blaming the venue, complaining the sound’s off
You got outshined so you claim it’s the crowd’s fault
I’m here for the long hall and the clout
So do your dance, get your money little sucker then bounce
(Chorus)
Like Yo! You’re shtick’s gettin’ kinda old
Everywhere I go I see the same bit at every show
Your music ain’t about shit it’s just nonsense
More concerned about your outfit than your content
So help me out cause I don’t quite understand
What’s the reason everybody’s overhyping your brand
I see the image you’ve created with a marketing plan
But who’s the man behind the man with the mic in his hand?
(Verse 3)
I can’t believe that you actually rap seriously
You lack humility not to mention you wack lyrically
So you don’t even need to cover your trace
I can tell by your fuckin’ face you never studied the greats
My first impression of you verse is you’re a jerk off
Hoppin’ on stage and wearing skirts with your shirts off
Rockin’ fake gems pretending you’re wealthy
Then spent ten minutes of your set takin’ selfies
Unless of course the crowd isn’t big he gets petty
With the inability to rip an intimate setting
On the contrary regardless I’ll be scarin’ your town
No matter the fans in the crowd I’ll be tearin’ it down
So instead of flow for flow, let’s go show for show
Soul for soul bro you better act like you know
So take notes because Static is timeless
What you’re witnessing is underground rap at it’s finest
(Chorus)
Like Yo! You’re shtick’s gettin’ kinda old
Everywhere I go I see the same bit at every show
Your music ain’t about shit it’s just nonsense
More concerned about your outfit than your content
So help me out cause I don’t quite understand
What’s the reason everybody’s overhyping your brand
I see the image you’ve created with a marketing plan
But who’s the man behind the man with the mic in his hand?

Do to Get the Money
04:50
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Yo I’ve chosen prophecy so I don’t rap for the doe
Since Sean Price passed I’m the brokest rapper you know
Yo middle class, blue collar with food stains
Collecting cans and returning bottles for loose change
To puff smoke till I’m literally broke dummy
But could still outflow you with little to no money
So every rhyme I check I’m tryna make a dollar stretch
Figuring out a way that I could try to pay this college debt
Peace to all my luck pushers dealing substances
All my bud pushers bumping Static through their subwoofers
I can smell a fake from the way he can’t stand straight
And I can tell a snake from a business man’s handshake
Offering their lump sums but I trust none
And it’s because of this a lot of heroes are unsung
Regardless I’ma spit and remain versatile
I rap for the love but business I take personal
(Chorus)
Cash rules from the city to the country
Strugglin’ for money tryna make 100 out of 20
Wealthy to bummy from an A student to junkie
Scamming computer hackin’ stealin’ loot from other countries
I’ve seen greed turn the beautiful to ugly
Sex sells as another excuse for acting slutty
Global warming, air pollution like it’s funny
It’s a damn shame what some people Do To Get The Money
(Verse 2)
Its like courtesy we only give for a fee
Never cheap cause nobody lifts a finger for free
Jeez, drunk and blunted to my liver and lungs
Out of funds when your money goes quicker than it comes
Like why capture the fish and not fry ‘em
Your only choice is to get rich or die buyin’
Going to whatever extent just to make a cent
Hard to stay content when you gotta hustle to pay the rent
Slave men trading time to make purchases
Abandoning their purpose for some monetary services
Delving deep into the depths of the block
Now it’s an inside job, the connect is the cop
And street cred isn’t actual credit
Whether cash, check, or debit just make sure that he gets it
If not then grab the mask and the messenger
Threaten to blast then grab the cash from the register
(Chorus)
Cash rules from the city to the country
Strugglin’ for money tryna make 100 out of 20
Wealthy to bummy from an A student to junkie
Scamming computer hackin’ stealin’ loot from other countries
I’ve seen greed turn the beautiful to ugly
Sex sells as another excuse for acting slutty
Global warming, air pollution like it’s funny
It’s a damn shame what some people Do To Get The Money
(Verse 3)
Single mothers on the hustle to compete for funds
Pole dancing and strippin’ so she could feed her son
Prostitution on the day of resignation
As the only stable way that she could pay for education
Forced to give away what she once considered sacred
Cause they ain’t makin’ a payment if she ain’t gettin’ naked
Degradation from the shallow ways of a wussy
Like what kind of man spends their money payin’ for pussy?
Like in showbiz, which has now been exposed
It’s not about skills or about who you know, it’s who you blow
Overnight road trip to your goals
With a manager who’s now a salesman for your soul
Auction your heart to the face of the final giver
Waiting to find a winner and taking the highest bidder
Sold out drug abuser actin’ slutty
It’s a damn shame what she gotta Do To Get The Money
(Chorus)
Cash rules from the city to the country
Strugglin’ for money tryna make 100 out of 20
Wealthy to bummy from an A student to junkie
Scamming computer hackin’ stealin’ loot from other countries
I’ve seen greed turn the beautiful to ugly
Sex sells as another excuse for acting slutty
Global warming, air pollution like it’s funny
It’s a damn shame what some people Do To Get The Money
(Verse 4)
Cause everyone could use a dollar or two
Regardless if you’re working in a white collar or blue (True)
So most choose to tag along with the faithless
Trading moral integrity for some paychecks
All’s it takes is a little bit of arrogance
With poppy seed plants being guarded by Americans
For Heroine addicting undergrads and troops
Mixed with Fentanyl from China being mass produced
More deadly than anything in the whole game
Pyscho-stimulants, Heroine, Methadone, or Cocaine
Everything is 2nd to synthetic opioids
And once it gets a hold of you forget it man its over with
You want money just sell your heart and get involved
Mix Heroine with Fentanyl and dead us all
Sellin’ poisin to the students and the junkies
It’s a damn shame what some people Do To Get The Money

Saturday Night
03:53
|
|||
(Intro)
I’m from a place where we do much more than rap on a mic
Incorporating Hip Hop in every facet of life
From the city where they’ll lift you right up out of your Nikes
Reportin’ live from New York yo its Saturday Night
(Verse 1)
What can I say? We’ve been living through tough times
Reportin’ live from the ’91 to the ’19
From the streets of New York where people live deprived of God
And gotta hustle illegally to survive
A wealthy man stands with an abundance of cash
On the same street a fiend found his lunch in the trash
A place where there’s no room to be fair
Finding a parking spot’s like playing musical chairs
Yo it’s a dirty game, partially pleasure but purely pain
Abandoning your own soul for some worldly gain
We all know that this system isn’t right
School smarts are inapplicable and trivial to life
We’ve been livin’ tribe, now this place is godforsaken
And these ain’t opinions these are my daily observations
The rest are sheep unaware of the scam
Underprepared, living scared of what they don’t understand
(Chorus)
What can I say? We’ve been living through tough times
Reportin’ live from the ’91 to the ’19
Where polluted skies block the rays of the sunshine
Hide the blunt grinds, keep an eye out for one time
This human life is like a new death trap
Every time we stride forward, taking two steps back
A place where grey skies shade the rays of the sunshine
Hide the blunt grinds, keep an eye out for one time
(Verse 2)
Yo I’m not a villain that’s just how they want to convey it
All my run in’s with the law are marijuana related
Charged with possession but never with intention to sell
Steady profiting at the expense of everyone else
Yo if you ask me, I say they’re making a flawed living
Granting us privileges which are really God given
Above the law with a weapon to flash
You don’t respect our past, we don’t respect your badge
Now get them hands off me, that ain’t part of the fuckin’ plan
No man has authority over another man
I’ll be damned, handcuffed in the back in your truck
Full search of my car just for half of a blunt (Punk!)
Like God judges us all from the same standards
So what gives you the right to put me in damn handcuffs?
We’ll never compromise through just silence
Or unite when both biased sides are one sided
(Chorus)
What can I say? We’ve been living through tough times
Reportin’ live from the ’91 to the ’19
Where polluted skies block the rays of the sunshine
Hide the blunt grinds, keep an eye out for one time
This human life is like a new death trap
Every time we stride forward, taking two steps back
A place where grey skies shade the rays of the sunshine
Hide the blunt grinds, keep an eye out for one time
(Verse 3)
Everyday they spot us watching through cameras
Technology advancements got us under constant surveillance
So I trust nobody, do my dirt by my lonesome
Never repeating the past mistakes that I’ve grown from
Cause without this beat, I’d be lurkin’ in the streets
Without this weed, I’d probably be a burglar or a thief
Workin’ 8 hour days now that’s 40 a week
Just to barely afford to eat, sleep, with water or heat
While our kids go to class to bullies and cruel feudings
Which only fuels the next choosing for school shootings
My Mom’s a teacher yo, should she be getting trained for guns?
And I’m a substitute, does that mean I should carry one?
Beyond disturbed from these punks disasters
I wanna go to church but don’t trust the pastors
Still searching for security we can’t get
From ’91 to ’19 it’s still the same shit
(Chorus)
What can I say? We’ve been living through tough times
Reportin’ live from the ’91 to the ’19
Where polluted skies block the rays of the sunshine
Hide the blunt grinds, keep an eye out for one time
This human life is like a new death trap
Every time we stride forward, taking two steps back
A place where grey skies shade the rays of the sunshine
Hide the blunt grinds, keep an eye out for one time
(Outro)
I’m from a place where we do much more than rap on a mic
Incorporating Hip Hop in every facet of life
From the city where they’ll lift you right up out of your Nikes
Reportin’ live from New York yo its Saturday Night

(Chorus)
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Through a dark back alley still battlin’ stress
Armed with nothin’ but a rep, no protection or vest
Just my mental in the flesh as I entered the depths
Questioned reality immersed within a dream
Lost my individuality to merge with the supreme
I’m just a voice on the song that records
All the stories that I’ve saw from Bmore to New York
(Verse 1)
I remember living in the Bronx at Fordham where school is
I was able to relate to locals more than the students
From Hip Hop’s influence I’m aware of the system
On a mission to limit this unnecessary division
Hatred limits our conviction to dream
Racism exists everywhere at different extremes
Depending on the misdirection our oppressors give
All men are born unbiased before they turn prejudice
Or learn prejudice from predisposed negligence
Territorial wars to each is own premises
Possessiveness of the material for income
Or maybe I’m looking for meaning where there is none
Tryna solve this mystery, devote to a strategy
But can’t force an epitome or moment of clarity
Greed takes numbers as the peace strays from us
And good men die as the leaves change colors
(Chorus)
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Through a dark back alley still battlin’ stress
Armed with nothin’ but a rep, no protection or vest
Just my mental in the flesh as I entered the depths
Questioned reality immersed within a dream
Lost my individuality to merge with the supreme
I’m just a voice on the song that records
All the stories that I’ve saw from Bmore to New York
(Verse 2)
Yo I’ve learned their beliefs then I wrote my own
Cause politicians represent me that I don’t condone
No, I’ve gained wisdom as I listened to wisemen
With ancient knowledge passed from indigenous tribesmen
From the position that I’m in I’m cordial and observant
Searching for my soul’s purpose as the Lord’s servant
I thank you for this beat, I thank you for this weed
And most importantly the opportunity to be free
Degree from college decent job and some wealth
I’ve had but its nothing compared to having knowledge of self
Our ways of living are too brutal to continue it
Technologically advanced and humanly illiterate
Frustrated, self-hated cause I’m white
But hoping to be differentiated for what I write
And someway try to change our way of life
And one day we can admit the natives had it right
(Chorus)
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Through a dark back alley still battlin’ stress
Armed with nothin’ but a rep, no protection or vest
Just my mental in the flesh as I entered the depths
Questioned reality immersed within a dream
Lost my individuality to merge with the supreme
I’m just a voice on the song that records
All the stories that I’ve saw from Bmore to New York
(Ill Conscious Verse 3)
This a warning of days of ending, tricked us with historical plagiarism
These false gods depicting the story of paganism
They making tradition out of us raising children
And I reside a couple miles south of the Reagan district
Baltimore, Murderland be the home of
Shit’s as dope up out a coke
In the city your jewelry gone when the tooly is drawn
This is holy communion in the nucleus of the storm
Prove that I’m wrong, avoiding the terrace selling this paraphernalia
Taking lateral trips to South American dwellers
No comparing the legend, my Sumerians
Rollin’ with derelicts my conglomerate’s Arian feathers
So bury the treasure, absent without the mind is preposterous
These rhymes’ll open your mind just like a nuerologist
I be reflecting the hardest while connecting my targets
From the Statue of Liberty to the Lexington Market
(Chorus)
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Through a dark back alley still battlin’ stress
Armed with nothin’ but a rep, no protection or vest
Just my mental in the flesh as I entered the depths
Questioned reality immersed within a dream
Lost my individuality to merge with the supreme
I’m just a voice on the song that records
All the stories that I’ve saw from Bmore to New York

The Antonym
03:46
|
|||
(Verse 1)
When God made the lakes and the rivers
The Earth the sky, stars, the snakes, and the lizards
He made us a promise on one day he would give us
Forgiveness and separate the saints from the sinners
But for now the current condition is lifeless
With thieves and creeps who live amongst the righteous
Broke conditions we cope just to live with
As all over the globe it grows like a sickness
Most addictive the moment it infects
It spreads like a simultaneous butterfly effect
Through ex-Senators accused as sex predators
But instead arrest residents with less evidence
Culpable men retire in the shade
While other innocent men get confined to a cage
Left without another choice or an option
But to find God or die inside the box they get locked in
(Chorus)
Cause life’s a game that ain’t worth gamblin’
Trust in God so one day you can stand with him
So for now when he’s calling you better answer him
Faithless, scared, and unaware, I’m The Antonym
Shedding light for what the future might bring
Although I know that its harder to do the right thing
So fear God and give praise to the source
Cause free will is your choice to put faith in the Lord
(Verse 2)
Now I agree that every person’s entitled
To their own belief system when concerning survival
Some have never headed the Quran or words in the Bible
Waltzing around with false faith worshiping idols
Proud felons with cowardice foul tendencies
Crossed dark streets and befriended devout enemies
Ego instigation to gang initiation
Retaliation was taken, identity mistaken
Around 10 found dead by his Mother
While her other Son’s about to get revenge for his Brother
You can smell it the breeze reeks with suspension
You can feel it the streets fiend for redemption
Rest In Peace candles lit on the curb
Another victim of violence in which he didn’t deserve
Lives taken to follow a dumb trend
Respect is none cause there’s no honor amongst men
(Chorus)
Cause life’s a game that ain’t worth gamblin’
Trust in God so one day you can stand with him
So for now when he’s calling you better answer him
Faithless, scared, and unaware, I’m The Antonym
Shedding light for what the future might bring
Although I know that its harder to do the right thing
So fear God and give praise to the source
Cause free will is your choice to put faith in the Lord
(Verse 3)
Whether its real or if its claimed as a fallacy
Everything you see on TV is based on reality
Even when you hear me spittin’ these writtens in the booth
No matter who’s rappin’ there’s always a little bit of truth
So let the verse spread when the topic is too intense
All these words said have been inspired by true events
So don’t be sidetracked by these sudden attractions
Cause the last thing that we need is another distraction
Like Heroine which is part of grander plan
Of U.S. soldiers guarding poppy plants in Afghanistan
Dope in a seed controlled by the beast
Grown overseas, imported, and sold through our streets
Its all backwards the copper is the killer
An inside job now the doctor is the dealer
Straight up sinners working Godless for a check
Fillin’ their pockets and making a profit off of death
(Chorus)
Cause life’s a game that ain’t worth gamblin’
Trust in God so one day you can stand with him
So for now when he’s calling you better answer him
Faithless, scared, and unaware, I’m The Antonym
Shedding light for what the future might bring
Although I know that its harder to do the right thing
So fear God and give praise to the source
Cause free will is your choice to put faith in the Lord

True Lies
03:46
|

(Verse 1)
Since I was 5 I was favored by design
Demonstrated the divine, educated through the rhyme
Spent my childhood in hiding dedicated to my grind
Meditated to my God, music opened up my mind
A poet to the page who writes a verse everyday
I’m a showman to the stage cause my work is my play
Reversed living backwards, I learned from distractions
Converse through the track list, my words are my actions
Clever craft, there’s a method to the mad
Hypercondriact who’s gotta make an effort to relax
I create psalms out of rage to stay calm
I perform for free and lose money to make songs
My closest homies are the ones who I can’t trust
Who take drugs while my pen turns to a paint brush
Beggars could never be choosers in the end
Spewing this flem so even when I lose I really win
I sat on the blacktop, stood on the stool
And learned more from a fool than any book in my school
You gotta have no conscious to get dollars
As both private and public college forbid knowledge
Producing meaningless managers of incompetence
And mathematical geniuses lacking common sense
Then in jest the novices become the stars
With leaders behind bars and followers in charge
It’s all wrong but too hard to defeat greed
The strong go along with the sheep while the weak lead
Commercially rich but lyrically shit
Some of the most physically fit are spiritually sick
From a system inflicting us all with pressure
Power shifts until the victim is the oppressor
Its complex but yet so simple
And sick cause some saints turned the most sinful
(Chorus)
It all changed yet everything is the same
After loss there’s gain and the best weather is rain
Before joy there’s pain, after karma there’s betterment
Prescription pills kill, marijuana is medicine
Wrong is right, the enlightened are lawless
As God made daylight from the darkness
Cause the abyss is a sight to be seen
When we’re asleep we’re living and this real life is the dream
(Verse 2)
They say the quiet ones are the most violent
At one point the loudest ones are the most silent
Your last resorts become preferred tendencies
Friends you called best become your worst enemies
Fooled by looks, deceived from reality
The most attractive women have the least personality
Promiscuous against their own sense of purity
Overly confident but have the most insecurities
Ceased the day till it made my night
Television bores me I’m entertained by life
Genetically and mentally our views have been devoid
To the fact hereditarily some girls are really boys
Spoken out against and restricted of a voice
Being publicly attacked cause they think that it’s a choice
I’ve seen that grotesque can grow gorgeous
And some of the best known parents were born orphans
I’ve seen insanity turn into the savior
Abandoned by her family and saved by a stranger
The ones you put down become the most great
The people you love most will show the most hate
(Chorus)
It all changed yet everything is the same
After loss there’s gain and the best weather is rain
Before joy there’s pain, after karma there’s betterment
Prescription pills kill, marijuana is medicine
Wrong is right, the enlightened are lawless
As God made daylight from the darkness
Cause the abyss is a sight to be seen
When we’re asleep we’re living and this real life is the dream

(Ill Conscious Verse)
(Chorus)
Planetary wordplay for the populous
God body verse sprayin’ on your consciousness
Anunnaki messengers up on your continents
To open the minds of all of our global occupants
In preparation for the cataclysmic aftermath
Prophetic poetry through paranormal paragraphs
And rappin’ as Static’s become my favorite alias
To spread the forbidden, hidden, wisdom of Ancient Aliens
(Verse 2)
The evidence of us is barely established
But you can find us in the Bible and Sumerian tablets
The Book of Enak also said that men were ruled by them
And spoke about the Grey Zeta Reticulian
A race of aliens who ran the globe and took control
And roamed the Earth since as old as the Book of Job
Homo Erectus genetics got a data switch
As evolutionary descendants of Sapiens
From cavemen to Homosapien kings
Formed from fallen angelical 4th dimensional beings
Rejected by most modern academia professionals
Denying both Nephilem and extradimensionals
They’re either tryna hide something or I’m blind
Cause there’s a fine line between science and sci-fi
But we’ll never have the right spiritual karma
Till we get rid of this religious and political dogma
(Chorus)
Planetary wordplay for the populous
God body verse sprayin’ on your consciousness
Anunnaki messengers up on your continents
To open the minds of all of our global occupants
In preparation for the cataclysmic aftermath
Prophetic poetry through paranormal paragraphs
And rappin’ as Static’s become my favorite alias
To spread the forbidden, hidden, wisdom of Ancient Aliens
(Verse 3)
I’ve left several shreds of physical evidence
Through the digital and physical effects I make records with
Skills supernaturally that God’ll bestow
An unidentifiable, UFOlogical flow
Yo, been ready since the legends assembled the torch for me
To spit that ancient extraterrestrial sorcery
Purposefully they don’t keep you aware of the mystery
Kept in secrecy like recorded Sumerian history
With a supreme rap performance ability
So when you watch me you witness paranormal activity
Seeking for substance in this land of corruption
Feinding for sample production as I planned the abduction
Then part ways from insanity’s clutch
And travel back to Nibiru before calamity struck
Vanished to dust under the face of the moon
Waitin’ for Satan to lose on the day of deluge
(Chorus)
Planetary wordplay for the populous
God body verse sprayin’ on your consciousness
Anunnaki messengers up on your continents
To open the minds of all of our global occupants
In preparation for the cataclysmic aftermath
Prophetic poetry through paranormal paragraphs
And rappin’ as Static’s become my favorite alias
To spread the forbidden, hidden, wisdom of Ancient Aliens

Star Children

(Verse)
Before I even had the words to let the verse start
Before I could talk or even had my first thought
You could see it in the signs within my birth chart
Or the red spot on my 3rd eye’s birthmark
That I was born to be a messenger of God
And embody the prophecy every second I’m alive
That’s why Static never listened to what they’d tell him
Cause my entire spirit’s existence is a rebellion
I’m alone quiet, study the skies to stay inspired
I’m my own pilot acquiring knowledge to apply it
The present’s infinite, no need to restrict
And plus nature limits our ability to predict
Spirituality is an imperial pearl
So be done with the misery of this material world
I think its time that we take hold of our own destiny
And try to let go of the things that weren’t meant to be
(Chorus)
My only goal and only wish as a man
Is to trust God entirely and stick to the plan
Use my free will to control the things that I can
And my wisdom to let go of all the things that I can’t
To become the best version of myself, but until then
I’ma be a great son, brother, and a real friend
As long as we’re able and God’s willing
We’ll all have a part to play as Star Children
(Verse 2)
I’m just a Capricorn, Leo rising, Virgo moon
Tryna find a way to unify this world of doom
Now some won’t understand who know me as Sam
But these songs accurately represent who I am
Yo it’s my purpose, I wouldn’t call it a wish
Just proving that God exists with how raw that I spit
Cause rap chose me, that’s the reason that I’m an MC
You don’t gotta believe me, believe the one who sent me
I wrote to instruments to cope with my resent
The devil’s a bad influence posing as a friend
Who tries to fly from the lows to the highs
A rollercoaster ride in between sobering cries
And I was blessed by a God that could unblind me
So my regrets don’t define me, they just remind me
Give thanks through your faith and appraisal
Mistakes aren’t made cause mistakes are what make you
(Chorus)
My only goal and only wish as a man
Is to trust God entirely and stick to the plan
Use my free will to control the things that I can
And my wisdom to let go of all the things that I can’t
To become the best version of myself, but until then
I’ma be a great son, brother, and a real friend
As long as we’re able and God’s willing
We’ll all have a part to play as Star Children
(Verse 3)
The way I see it most of us are overthinking it
Tryna analyze life instead of living it
At one point we were all born innocent
So turn back from your ways and never sin again
Cause to be brutally honest between you and I
I found God while I was dreaming of suicide
I’m too blessed that I forget to remember
All I’ll ever have to do is just accept and surrender
So be persistent and be patient with time
Your soul, body, and your mind are God’s greatest design
Cause man I’ve faced this blank page so many times
And amazed that I always came away with a rhyme
All I really know is God knows best
With a happy home to rest, how was I so blessed?
So if I don’t succeed it wasn’t destined to be
And I know that God has something even better for me
(Chorus)
My only goal and only wish as a man
Is to trust God entirely and stick to the plan
Use my free will to control the things that I can
And my wisdom to let go of all the things that I can’t
To become the best version of myself, but until then
I’ma be a great son, brother, and a real friend
As long as we’re able and God’s willing
We’ll all have a part to play as Star Children

(Verse 1)
I’m a product of never taking the safe route
On the outside still looking for a way out
Of my own mind, if I only had the will ta
My circle of friends is bigger but none look familiar
Finds it harder to keep his passion to live
When most people his age are getting married with kids
Knowing very well it’s no one else’s but his own fault
Don’t wanna 30 years old with nothing to show for it
My worst self is what I’ve gotten to see
Nobody expects nothing from me, not even me (Damn)
Ungrateful I only want what I ain’t got
I’m high off pot still stuck in the same spot
Replaced love with a yearning for rough drugs
Buzzed out of touch with the person he once was
Isolated, sleepless nights within the basement
Decided to write statements of his life inside these pages
Armed with nothing but his reputation and his name
His love for this game, his desperation, and his pain
Pursued his dream and vowed to stop never
But things always got worse before they got better
(Chorus)
Save Me, from myself
Cause its so hard to deal when all these scars unhealed bring out the worst in me
I need help
To break free, from this shell
And all these wall I’ve built around my flaws and guilt and insecurities
I need help
(Verse 2)
He met her the first night through his sisters
They talked about the stars, life, and existence
Thinking to himself she could be his mistress
And check that long list of unfinished wishes
Cause he’s a virgin but too scared to admit it
Probably thought if he told her she’d assume that he’s kidding
As he proceeded then to lust for this girls touch
Not knowing that she would then be his first love
Months flew by before she stopped dating him
Not knowing that that whole time she was saving him
Awfully sad after her Father had passed
He drove her away tryna give her all that he had
Years passed by his blunted red eyes
Still after all of this time he doesn’t understand why
Tried reaching out but was refused and declined
And saw it as an excuse to use another time
Moving on but the problem wasn’t done
When his tolerance, accomplishments, and confidence is none
The way he feels is like she left him for dead
Still the only woman who has ever slept in his bed
Left with no explanation, no closure at all
Damn, I guess that he needed her more than he thought
So he hides out from the world with a stare
Thinking if he disappeared that nobody would care
To the point where his parents can’t get through to him
Found his pills stashed and embarrassed that he’s using them
Back to living in his own irrelevantness
To tell the truth he’s been tryna numb himself ever since
He wants a second chance so he could feel hope again
Like maybe if he hurt himself that she would notice him
But he would never so now he just stays high
Saying he’s fine convincing himself of the same lies
(Chorus)
Save Me, from myself
Cause its so hard to deal when all these scars unhealed bring out the worst in me
I need help
To break free, from this shell
And all these wall I’ve built around my flaws and guilt and insecurities
I need help
(Verse 3)
Stayed clean through stamina withdrawals
In life you gotta lose battles to win wars
Could’ve used love or a hug from a friend
Used to use drugs till the drugs used him
Which all stems from heartbreak undoubtedly
Ironically love sucks the life out of me
Self hatful exhausted thoughts
Tryna follow all these astrology charts, he’s lost
Suicidal wasn’t tryna get props
But found God accidentally through his Hip Hop
Took the final call of action to get up
Went from rhymin’ from the heart to rappin’ from the gut
Read the Quran, Bible, and Bagavad Gita
Surrendered and accepted God as my leader
Cause I’m alive so I held my head to pray
Asking God everyday to tell me what to say
Stray ways from the devil instead
And use your words to ensure God’s message is spread
Cause the soul lives on I swear
So I wrote songs so even when I’m gone, I’m here
Yeah
Stray ways from the devil instead
And use your words to ensure God’s message is spread
Cause the soul lives on I swear
So I wrote songs so even when I’m gone, I’m here
(Chorus)
Saved Me, from myself
As my heart of steel let down its guard to heal and then reverse the bleeding in me
Now I break free, from this shell
Cause all these walls I’ve built around my flaws and guilt are now just words to me
I feel free

Poems to God
05:30
|
|||
(Verse 1)
For years I wrote rhymes puffin’ on some fire sour
Alone spending timeless hours with my higher power
Meditation to listen to God’s thoughts speak
Pulsating with the rhythm of God’s heartbeat
Release the pain and the hatred from the storms you carry
To then begin to see the sacred in the ordinary
Stop seeking perfection cause you’re already chosen
Embrace the infinite mystery that’s in every moment
Reflect on faith to battle your stress
Rest creates more space for balance and breath
Through closure I believe and am able to live
The more that I receive the more I’m able to give
With pure intentions no matter what happens
Nonattached to the outcomes of my actions
Selfish desires I still have to give up
Till I’m ready to live life and let that be enough
(Chorus)
So I wrote Poems to God so I could cope with sorrow
Fully invested in the present like there’s no tomorrow
Stray less from the quest to my destiny
Stay blessed and always keep my best days ahead of me
Remain centered through the joys and pains
Cause life’s hard but we always have the choice to change
Our daily decisions add up to a sum
Creating circumstances within us to have what we want
(Verse 2)
Create space for self to keep a peaceful soul
Others embrace security over the need to grow
Stubborn slouch, revered him as a conspirator
Stuck in doubt from fear of the unfamiliar
Let go of hate and you’ll be so much better
The self holds more weight when you show up centered
Rely on God when you’re in need of protection
Its through compassion that the truth is kept from being a weapon
Study lessons and react to life’s tests as they arrive
What was true at one point in time could then become a lie
So question what you hear on the news how they word it
Updating our beliefs and views to stay current
Life is mans greatest test of uncertain answers
A dance where the rules change with the circumstances
Accept challenges while keeping your poise
Cause God rarely asks us to make the easier choice
(Chorus)
So I wrote Poems to God so I could cope with sorrow
Fully invested in the present like there’s no tomorrow
Stray less from the quest to my destiny
Stay blessed and always keep my best days ahead of me
Remain centered through the joys and pains
Cause life’s hard but we always have the choice to change
Our daily decisions add up to a sum
Creating circumstances within us to have what we want
(Verse 3)
Temporary from the time of our birth
We’re all visitors of this body, mind, and the Earth
Breath borrowed to the lungs that Allah chooses
Mortal beings so nothing really belongs to us
Most stress feeling lacking and inferior
Comparatively less to the arrogant and superior
Envious over the possessions of others stuff
Blinded to the abundance that’s right in front of us
Towards a spiritual fulfillment on this blissful path
So always ask and never take without giving back
Substance use to abuse then felt mad at God
As overindulgence can lead to self sabotage
Defeat is limited but victory is endless
Happiness is moderation, misery is excess
Began to see the beauty in the Sun and the stars
As I left greed behind to walk in wonder and awe
(Chorus)
So I wrote Poems to God so I could cope with sorrow
Fully invested in the present like there’s no tomorrow
Stray less from the quest to my destiny
Stay blessed and always keep my best days ahead of me
Remain centered through the joys and pains
Cause life’s hard but we always have the choice to change
Our daily decisions add up to a sum
Creating circumstances within us to have what we want
(Verse 4)
The here and now isn’t meant for us to understand
Cause fear is doubt and help is having the upper hand
Stand out against what you don’t condone
Allow others lives to be as important as your own
You can’t force someone to believe that there’s a God
To support someone means you gotta meet them where they are
A real man empathizes and suffers
Forgets about self to answer the cries of another
Instead of sticking to tradition and refusing help
We’re only stealing from our children and our future selves
Cause embracing your own talents and skills
Automatically serves the world rather than steals
Cause I’m not capable to fix or save you
I just pray you find strength in the gifts he gave you
As I ask myself at the end of the day
Have I helped uplift or have I taken away
(Chorus)
So I wrote Poems to God so I could cope with sorrow
Fully invested in the present like there’s no tomorrow
Stray less from the quest to my destiny
Stay blessed and always keep my best days ahead of me
Remain centered through the joys and pains
Cause life’s hard but we always have the choice to change
Our daily decisions add up to a sum
Creating circumstances within us to have what we want

When It Rains, I Let It
04:10
|
|||
(Chorus)
I’ve moved on but the pains embedded
Embraced staying in the present, When It Rains I Let It
I’ve dwelled on what I can’t change and regret it
Don’t place blame in the unpleasant, When It Rains I Let It
Trust lies in the faith of a greater plan
So love God in whatever way you can understand
Cause God is hidden and spiritually bound
Within each of us never to be physically found
(Verse 1)
I never wrote for the power to get money
I’ve been soul searchin’ with countless hours of self study
To purify my words, body, and thoughts
Whether its Anjalina Mudra or the sign of the cross
Open the lens within your mind’s eye to goals within reach of us
The energy of God lies dormant in each of us
Let go of chapters cause you can’t control the script
No matter the factors be with every moment as it is
Beauty lies in every tree and gazing star
Regain your childhood abilities to see things as they are
You can’t retreat and just divert from the pressure
Can’t escape hardships chasing permanent pleasure
Unpleasantness we pretend don’t exist
Avoiding anything that could put our pleasures at risk
Deepened resentment destroying our inner peace
Guaranteeing contentment will always be out of reach
(Chorus)
I’ve moved on but the pains embedded
Embraced staying in the present, When It Rains I Let It
I’ve dwelled on what I can’t change and regret it
Don’t place blame in the unpleasant, When It Rains I Let It
Trust lies in the faith of a greater plan
So love God in whatever way you can understand
Cause God is hidden and spiritually bound
Within each of us never to be physically found
(Verse 2)
Miracles were never meant to be measured
Mental transformation tends to take some spiritual effort
You gotta cry till that well runs dry
You gotta die from your old selfish wants and desires
Nobody can determine your own sense of worthlessness
We are all responsible for all our own disturbances
So learn to let go with all of your might
Turn your sorrows into stripes and fall in love with your live cause
When you’re in it none of it makes sense
But times of desperation mold us into someone of depth
Cause a crisis is a terrible thing to waste
After exhausting all you have new strength is shaped
A certain found comfort and a faith in the mysterious
Fearlessly opening up ourselves to the experience
Cause we can’t prevent times of catharsis
But we could be aware that its designed to evolve us
(Chorus)
I’ve moved on but the pains embedded
Embraced staying in the present, When It Rains I Let It
I’ve dwelled on what I can’t change and regret it
Don’t place blame in the unpleasant, When It Rains I Let It
Trust lies in the faith of a greater plan
So love God in whatever way you can understand
Cause God is hidden and spiritually bound
Within each of us never to be physically found
(Verse 3)
Faith allows confidence to restore
Cause we are all divine consciousness at our core
That’s how I’m able to trust what I can’t see
And let the way I breathe go from careful to carefree
Their ain’t no way to dispute it, the current facts have found
To make a change in the future means taking action now
Haters to lovers from burners to briefcases
Sinners to saints from disturbers to peacemakers
Learn to focus our concerns while the rest riot
Let yourself burn till you become blessed by it
Stay in the fire for the flames to avenge you
The people we can’t stand hold our greatest potentials
One must surrender for the healing to start
So be aware, feed the lamb not the wolf in your heart
For nonbelievers this is too much to digest
But keep an open mind cause God likes to surprise us
(Chorus)
I’ve moved on but the pains embedded
Embraced staying in the present, When It Rains I Let It
I’ve dwelled on what I can’t change and regret it
Don’t place blame in the unpleasant, When It Rains I Let It
Trust lies in the faith of a greater plan
So love God in whatever way you can understand
Cause God is hidden and spiritually bound
Within each of us never to be physically found

(Verse 1)
Ayo there’s nothin’ like those boom bap drums when they’re poundin’
I can’t put my finger on it there’s just something about it
Puffin’ back to back albums with my man’s and just bump
Blaring the amps in the truck I just can’t get enough
I ain’t following the trends of another to get seen
I’m an MC, this is 100% me
As I begged to play the part of rippin’ stage mics
Through this self created art that imitates life
And unites people in the crowds of our nation
To fight the power through the sound of vibration
Express pain and encourage creation
The best way to cope with any hurt that you’re facin’
I’ve been blessed and I’m glad you did
It’s a gift so this is really all I have to give
And I’ma keep writing till my lyrics are pain free
And always give thanks to the spirit that saved me
(Chorus)
If you love Hip Hop then say (Yes Ya’ll)
And if you love the Bronx then say (Yes Ya’ll)
And when we flood the block we say (Yes Ya’ll)
So go and pass me the mic so I can Bless Ya’ll
And if you like it wicked say (Yes Ya’ll)
And if you hype for this then say (Yes Ya’ll)
Can I kick it? (Yes Ya’ll)
So go and pass me the mic so I can Bless Ya’ll
(Verse 2)
Yo it’s the joys and pains, it’s the highs and hells
Yo it’s the noise complaints, it’s the cries and yells
It’s the right now, the sights, sounds, vibes, and smells
It’s a lifestyle, it’s more than just the rhymes themselves
It’s the personalities of my favorite MC’s
It’s the books that I read and the strangers I meet
It’s in the beats and snare hit of quest love
It’s in the breeze of the fresh air I’m a breath of
It’s in the pride that we’re reppin’ New York with
It’s how we talk, it’s the attitude that we walk with
It’s in the melodies that blend with best sound
The only thing that’s keepin’ me from holding my head down
It’s in the choice to prevail and then excel
I’ve been doing well ever since I came out my shell
It’s in the drive to get aware and Edutain
Cause Hip Hop is everywhere and everythang
(Chorus)
If you love Hip Hop then say (Yes Ya’ll)
And if you love the Bronx then say (Yes Ya’ll)
And when we flood the block we say (Yes Ya’ll)
So go and pass me the mic so I can Bless Ya’ll
And if you like it wicked say (Yes Ya’ll)
And if you hype for this then say (Yes Ya’ll)
Can I kick it? (Yes Ya’ll)
So go and pass me the mic so I can Bless Ya’ll
(Verse 3)
Yo it’s in the woes and the tears of betray
It’s in the headphones I play in my ears everyday
It’s in the way I compensate for your fake love
Almost ashamed to say it, it’s the reason I wake up
It’s in the bass and the voices we embrace
It’s in the mistakes and the conscious choices that we make
It’s in the fate only known by the stars
It’s in the faith that’s been filling this gaping hole in my heart
Cause it’s what motivated me to be smart
Cause in order to be an MC you gotta be sharp
Plus it takes soul to unleash the feeling
And effective, direct way to reach the children
It’s in the will to match speech with your actions
Keep in path, laugh and to preach what you practice
Forced to grow out of my comfort zone
I take this more serious than just a poem
(Chorus)
If you love Hip Hop then say (Yes Ya’ll)
And if you love the Bronx then say (Yes Ya’ll)
And when we flood the block we say (Yes Ya’ll)
So go and pass me the mic so I can Bless Ya’ll
And if you like it wicked say (Yes Ya’ll)
And if you hype for this then say (Yes Ya’ll)
Can I kick it? (Yes Ya’ll)
So go and pass me the mic so I can Bless Ya’ll

(Verse)
Yo who the fuck want it?
With the timeless and so rugged
Rhyme writer, take a look in the eyes of the most blunted
I don’t know nothin’ but skunk puffin’ and flow bustin’
All alone, no manager, label, no nothin’
No frontin’ get to duckin’ when my pen’s drawn
Or catch a stray missile from one of the most slept on
Get your rep torn, if you don’t know who you’re fuckin’ wit
Put up your money whatever you’re bettin’ better double it
Made up my mind to put faith into a God
Was created by the divine to say another rhyme
So I study the signs to receive what I’m given
Some fears keep you alive, others keep you from livin’
As I bled from the chest with every verse I read
So when I’m dead you know I never left a word unsaid
Or an emotion unexpressed cause I studied the best
Rakim, KRS, K.G.R., and some Treach
Scarface, Masta Ace, Daddy Kane till my coffin
I was raised off rap and was taught by my walkman
From L.A. to Boston, Mississippi, to Arkansas
From Brooklyn, Philly, from New York City to Baltimore
I’ve heard it all and took heed in the moment
Now I love flowin’ but its the dope beats that keep me going
Insane friggen bass kickin’ straight spittin’ face splittin’
What you’re witnessin’ is Static collabin’ with Great Britain
Funky RecordZ with the musical gift
Now take notes I’m the KRS-TWO of this shit
Yo unless you’re spottin’ me rockin’ a gold rope
You can tell from one flow from my throat that I’m no joke
Its SC the undiscovered local rap legend
Yo Big D, you ain’t no Ultra fuckin’ Magnetic
We MC’s, blow down trees and sip mauseltovs
Three card short of deck, I ain’t got it all
These are the breaks from the boroughs that created them
This beat has got me smokin’ 8ths and liftin’ weights again
I wreck shop cause my love is for rap
And everyday I thank Hip Hop for Lovin’ Me Back
(MC Bravado Verse)
