I talk to ghosts
When im alone
Cuz im a fuckin weirdo
So don’t you ever
Try and look at me
Like im your hero
Im just a man
Chasin a dream
Tryna come up from zero
I started all this shit
With nothin
made it all appear tho
they thought I would be deceased
before I turned 18
im 27
steady tryna fund a fuckin dream
at 21 I sobered up
and turned my life around
I swore that when I put it down
Cant no one go against me now
Cuz im biggest rival
devil straight up out the bible
you can all go talk your shit
but no one hates me more than I do
I had to slumber sick as fuck
While stuck Up in the gutter
Talkin to myself
Like why you do this to us
Motherfucker
and that’s my life ill be alright
that’s just the way it goes
aint got no fancy cars
aint sportin no designer clothes
I spend my days
Sweating my dick off
Up inside this factory
Starin out that door
And See the sun
i watch this life go past me
I check the web when I feel dead
Cuz yall just look so happy
But its all fake its just a game
And aint nobody laughing
We all just struggle
Just ta make it through the day to day
Tryna find a better way
Move on and turn the fuckin page
But its your story you can live it how you wanna
you don’t have to feel surrounded
out here drownin in the drama
on my mama and on god
you can make it from a dream
its not as hard motherfuckers make it seem
just buckle down and bust your ass
and show some dedication
I guarantee that all your work
Will take you to better places
And don’t you worry bout your past
Or all those people hatin
Cuz its about where you are headed
Fuck those angry faces
Just keep it real
And speak your mind
But make sure speak the truth
I cant believe that any of us
Were just born to lose
So I refuse to mind my own
Yeah I said fuck the rules
Im gonna make it on my own
Cuz that what bosses do
Cuz I got heart
But believe I aint got shit to prove
Well maybe I do to myself
But yo its not for you
So don’t conced just to believe
In all the lies they feed you
Just try and breath
And be at ease
Ignore those evil people
The world is full demons
Full of devils in disguise
They wear their masks
And hide way up inside their fuckin lies
But I will stand by my beliefs
Until they take my life
They cannot break me down
No They can only criticize
But I could give a shit
They can suck a fuckin dick
Cuz they are watchin from the side
And im just out here livin life
Im my own biggest fan
And I cant hear you cuz yall mumbling
You stumble fumble and stutter
Its like your saying nothing
Your usin dope n snortin coke
youre out here sippin lean
a fuckin slave to way
you think youre supposed to be
doing anything you can
to try and make them love you
but never stop to love your self
so im still screamin fuck you
and all you wack rappers
nothing but some cash grabbers
rap is about the message
ive had enough of these rack stackers
what happened to being
the voice the people
the ones who cant speak for themselves
that have nobody to speak to
I swear ill never be
The one to throw my cash in your face
I hope that everybody eats
And gets some food on they plate
I know its hard out on the streets
And these days get hard to face
But you gotta stand strong
Cause no ones life is a waste
You gotta find it in your self
You got speak from your soul
dont let this world leave you frozen
don’t become broken and cold
when those roads get tough
you just gotta keep movin
fuck everybody
I believe that you can do it
Come and prove it

while i grab a pad n pencil
tryna fuckin let go of
what i have been through
tryna turn a page

but everytime i close my eyes
its the same thing
the same place same face
haunts me in my mind
i wish i could escape
if i could find the time
but there really aint no point
in lookin back now
news flash thats the past
time ta back down

caught up in a pinch
its best to work alone
and to never use a phone
if you really wanna make a fuckin

your head down low
the less you talk
the less they know

and stay stone cold
or you aint gonna get to
watch your own kids grow

are saying im better off dead
and ive been twisted
by this sick addiction
tortured in this life im livin
no excuses for actin out
but the sickness had me lashin out
the demons in my head are clashin now
but I gotta stay strong
gotta stand my ground
cant lose focus
cuz this life aint hopeless
what would my boys do if im not around
i cant turn back

and their wondering

One Life
03:05

We only got one life one opportunity one vision
To seize the moment turnin that dreamin into livin
Show em what we can become were not the villains
Were just trying to get a come up in a world that unforgiving
Were the lost children of a world that’s built on sinning
Your glorifying their greed
While these children are going missing
Were placing hate against races
But its these fucking politicians
I wish that for just one second
You fucking people would listen
Quit the bitchin and envision
A world without the division
Where we can ditch the past
Have peace at last
Forget the friction
One love throughout the country
America at its best
Where people can walk the street
Without takin two to the chest
Where we can help our fellow brother
Without stuntin tryna flex
cuz its hard to fuckin know when you’ll be next
I’m tryin not to stress but I’m a mess
I need to get this off my chest
Cuz this world just makes me sick
Is this a test
Cuz I feel like were failing if it is
And yall don’t give two squirts of piss
Is this the example that were leaving for these kids
Its time to step it up and show em how to really live
Teach em to never give up when they fall and take a hit
Aint bout the clothes
The cars money or hoes
Its about who still gets down
When your beaten down and your broke
The ones still by your side
When you couldn’t breathe and you choked
Not those vultures slowly closing round your throat
The ones who said you never make it
Turn round and say you’re the greatest
But their just out here chasin faces
Tryna come up off your playlist
You fuckin fakes lets just face it
You tried to hate now your change
You disrespectful ass pussy
I should just spit in your faces
But I ill just sit back n laugh
Cuz yall aint nothing but trash
Comin lookin for handouts
Out here straight kissin some ass
You try and act like you knew me
your ass got left in the past
n all the bitchs that blew me off
now are all tryna smash
n now your bouta get school
im finna take you to class
I weave words over and under
Until your caught in a trap
Learned to slither with the serpents
From bein up in the trap
I had to write my own shit
Cuz all todays rap is trash
We only got one shot one opportunity
To try and seize the moment
So just believe and breathe with ease
And show em that you own it
Don’t beg n plead get on your knees
Or be something your not
Just be yourself
This is your shot
This is all you got

Change
03:57

i thank the gods
for all my second chances
the second glances i never got
were better than bein reprimanded
or caught red handed
its like they planned it
its too complex
i dont pretend to understand it
it just makes me manic
i feel ive got a purpose
so im just workin to preserve it
this life is far from worthless
even when were fuckin hurtin
dont eat the dirt
when your down feelin broken
cuz theres beauty in the beaten
the broken people are chosen
the tortured souls and the homeless
the scarred scared and the roamers
wanderin down these roads
cuz they dont know what a home is
im just here to fuckin tell ya i was just like you
i was lost stuck on these streets
with no friends no food or shoes
ive burnt my back in the sun
searchin just lookin for shade
ive walked until ive had blisters
cuz i had no where to stay
yeah ive robbed and done wrong
and ive got lost hoppin trains
but the gods pulled me through it
and now the world is my stage
cuz i was looking for change
they had to show me the way
yeah i was lookin for change
yeah i was lookin for change
yeah i was lookin for the answers
hiding deep inside
i drowned myself in the darkness
and couldnt see the light
i put my hate against people
and didnt treat em right
confused my rules to survive
with my morals for life
and now im tryna bounce back
from a past that still haunts me
those long hungry nights
remind me nobody wants me
they just smile in my face and
pretend like they care
but when i was down and out
there wasnt nobody there
just me myself and my lonely
but believe me
no one owes me
we lay in the beds we make
just like my grandmother told me
so dont confuse what im sayin
and twist it up like im bitchin
cuz its those nights i was starvin
that created the fuckin vision
just tryna speak on my pain
cuz maybe you can relate
so take a little walk with me
and stroll down my memory lane
when i was looking for freedom
when i was searchin out there
tryna find myself in a world
that really dont care
when i was lookin for change
they had to show me the way
but i was lookin for change
yeah i was looking for change
ive found theres beauty in silence
in those frozen moments of solace
left alone in our thoughts
a place where nobody knows us
where we hide all of our demons
in the back of our mind
build our castles around
and try and keep em inside
we build our walls and our moats
try and make us feel safe
but just like with anything
theres always give and theres take
you cant get something for nothing
i shouldnt have to explain
if we bury all our problems they
tend to rot in our brain
they infest and infect
every thought in our heads
they make us wanna escape
and make us wanna be dead
you gotta deal with your issues
i said you gotta move on
or your demons will just eat you
until everythings gone
i hope your looking for change
i hope they show you the way
i hope your looking for change
i hope your looking for change

Chillin back and relaxin
Packin this pack of squares
Im thinkin back on my life
Like how the fuck we get here
We made from bein broke
Struggling hungry and bummy
Got families of our own
And cant nobody fuckin touch me
Im spittin fire my desire
Grows to new heights
Fuck the red and blue lights
They cant see me
In this new life
Wont never let nobody
Lock me up inside a cell
Ill raise hell
Cuz I would rather die
Than go to jail
Cuz when I go
At least I know
That I would die free
Free to breathe and believe
In my dreams and
die with peace
I try to count my blessings
not dwell too much on my curses
I found my soul in the streets
aint feel nothin up in churches
hook
when your backs against the wall
stand tall fuck em all
they just wanna watch you fall
said when you don’t know what to do
do you
stay true
lets just show em how we do
and if you need it
I can call my dawgs
take ya out
fuckin show ya how to ball
then youll know just what to do
stay true
make moves
lets just show em how we do
ay yo im killin these rappers
constantly fillin coffins
no skeletons in my closet
i threw em out n tossed em
i let them out in the open
to let my demons breath
never afraid of what yall think
cuz im just bein me
and in my minds eye its my time
in that spotlight is where i shine
aint nobody stoppin my grind
imma blast it loud till theres sunshine
and in this moment
its grab that mic and its run time
i gotta go so enjoy the show
and i hope yall have a fun time
and if your out there hatin
know that i still love you
but its fuck you motherfuckers
imma rise so far above you
and if your out there tryna make
dont give up be patient
this road is full of failure
if you wanna be the greatest
hook
when your backs against the wall
stand tall fuck em all
they just wanna watch you fall
said when you don’t know what to do
do you
stay true
lets just show em how we do
and if you need it
