Back Where I Belong
02:57

On Riverdale road
Lost a piece of my soul
These hearts couldn’t get so cold
It’s open season
Every reason to fuck shit up
Across the street that’s how
My man got cut cause we ain’t give 2 fucks
Thinking we can’t be touched
Just some African kids just now trying
Keep up 25 cents noodle and orange soda
4 fifty dollar bills a month to hold me over
It’s dark and hell is hot was the soundtrack
Kenilworth ave that’s where the hoes was at
Mr favorite habitat
Remember latasha used to be weakness
But ain’t nothing better than them Howard bitches
Checked a few thotties off the wish list
Back then the vision was blurry, life was in a hurry
Especially destitute as we was but still
It was always love
I wanna go
Back where I belong
I wanna go
Back where I belong
20 years later ain’t nothing change much
But some grey hairs and a beer gut
Same number same hood same folks
I was cool with
Some of us grew apart but my heart is the purest
Everything in moderation never over did it
Dysfunctional nigga but rich in spirit
Call me a struggle rapper nigga I’m livid
Document my existence y’all don’t get it
Had crazy anxiety since the 90s
Now it’s cool for niggas to go to therapy
Socially awkward social media killer
Fabricated leaders y’all deceive us
America will never believe us
Young black intellectual achievers
Self preservation is the way to go
Now set your own price for your own soul
I wanna go
Back where I belong
I wanna go
Back where I belong

How do I survive this cry baby era
How do I survive this cry baby era
How do I survive this cry baby era
Y’all niggas is so so so sensitive
Whoa whoa whoa whoa you mad now
Somebody say what got you offended now
Oh yesterday he was the shit
You cancel him now
Every fucking Lil step you capture it now
All for the ecosystem
All for the love we wishing
All over ig so much the game been missing
Niggas is out the kitchen
Now digital thugging who gonna pay these prices
But now it’s consequences
It’s stupid to be righteous
Negative you can’t fight it pessimistic
Going further over bullshit
Old billy deserved it me too make me nervous
But no means no lock him up I encourage it
I guess we ain’t heaven sent living life with no purpose
Overlook tragedy but cry over petty shit
Dealing with personalities with hearts so delicate
I guess you gotta choose your own medicine, medicine
How do I survive this cry baby era
How do I survive this cry baby era
How do I survive this cry baby era
Y’all niggas is so so so sensitive
How many times you heard yeah
Get over it far from a raptivist
A Stupid ass catalyst
That precious image you got left you damage it
So embarrassing what the average nigga averaging
Check the packaging
Practice what you preach partner
Freedom of speech putting niggas in a ditch yeah
So what these young’uns got the colorful shit
Let em live old nigga
That was the same thing your daddy did
Nigga stop it
For all you hoes pocket watching should be motivation
Get off your ass get a job bitch or die hating
Cause ain’t no second chances coming after first impressions
In this game of life baby you can die from mistakes
And that clout chasing shit ain’t gon' hold no weight
Or get your mind on straight
Actually liable to break your spirit
Eventually loyalty oughta be
Number 1 priority, priority
How do I survive this cry baby era
How do I survive this cry baby era
How do I survive this cry baby era
Y’all niggas is so so so sensitive

Lumumba
03:17
|
|||
See no crying allowed over here
It’s all about the power of choice
The choice to make changes in your life
To rise above the occasion
Be strong be focused
And never let up no matter what
No matter what
Misjudged misunderstood miseducated
Oh God I hate it
Memories faded but dwelling on the past
Kept a nigga motivated but yet
Never jaded
A favor for a favor
Now that’s some gratitude
You oughta pay your dues or
Get your ego bruised
This weight of this dark world
We never choose
In order to win you gotta lose
I say bury me a g in a 2 door coupe
That’s when I crashed the whip
From my man Saikou
Never speak into existence
Unless it was good only if I could
Put loyalty over love
Lord strick me from up above for putting you
Through the mud
But vengeance is a must when betrayal
Is involved
It gotta be karma for all these murders
Unsolved
Too many deceased off of
Independent thought
This blood that runs through my veins
Can’t change what’s in my heartless dna
Diy you dream killers can’t catch these vibes
Do it yourself, lumumba
This blood that runs through my veins
Can’t change what’s in my heartless dna
Diy you dream killers can’t catch these vibes
Do it yourself, lumumba
This blood that runs through my veins
Can’t change what’s in my heartless dna
Diy you dream killers can’t catch these vibes
Do it yourself, lumumba
This blood that runs through my veins
Can’t change what’s in my heartless dna
Diy you dream killers can’t catch these vibes
Do it yourself, lumumba
I got a few questions
Does calling you a panther make you feel special
King of the jungle make you feel special
Or killing a nigga make you feel special
Damn
It’s unbelievable the space we reside in
A mind state so cheap you could buy in
Divided but who do you believe in
These diamonds or the folks that you roll with
It all ties in when you going off the deep end
But fuck that gotta put your two cents in
You locked up in a vault back to Africa talk
But that melanin got you working
Twice as hard
Be original never let off your guard
Be original never compromise your art
Half these niggas on TV
Be falling apart
I believe they killed prince cause of
Independent thought
This blood that runs through my veins
Can’t change what’s in my heartless dna
Diy you dream killers can’t catch these vibes
Do it yourself, lumumba
This blood that runs through my veins
Can’t change what’s in my heartless dna
Diy you dream killers can’t catch these vibes
Do it yourself, lumumba
This blood that runs through my veins
Can’t change what’s in my heartless dna
Diy you dream killers can’t catch these vibes
Do it yourself, lumumba
This blood that runs through my veins
Can’t change what’s in my heartless dna
Diy you dream killers can’t catch these vibes
Do it yourself, lumumba

I Need That
03:21

Rosa Acosta looking bitch
I need that
Mansion on the hills with a butler
I need that
Bugatti with a pump on the back
I need that
Big faced roley with diamonds
I need that
Chalk lines on the table
Which one of y’all going to sniff that
Sicilian bitch, Oh no, did she do that
How you is a broke ass bitch
And you talking smack
Dial tone trick
Go ahead swallow that
I’ll be the last nigga to bring the 90s back
'Cause I’ll be a fucking sucker for a platinum plaque
Nonchalant, if you ain’t talking about racks
I don’t need your pat on the back
If you pimpin I’ll tilt my hat
If you simpin now pardon my back
Put my faith in the gat, blow
No hands like pacquiao
'Cause these young’uns is wild
And,this is my world, and I live it how I want to
You talking that bullshit but we don’t see you
Trying to play it off like we don’t see what you go through
Oh stupid ass
How you bite the hands that feeds you
Talking about a movement
The only thing you moving is your bowels
And acting like a child, as for me
Rosa Acosta looking bitch
I need that
Mansion on the hills with a butler
I need that
Bugatti with a pump on the back
I need that
Big faced roley with diamonds
I need that
'Cause I’m a go go get it
'Cause I’m a go go get it
'Cause I’m a go go get it
'Cause I’m a
'Cause I’m a go go get it
Biggie said it, 30 and broke give a nigga the chills
So I’m freezing and looking for my next meal
Longevity gives me the shakes
‘Cause ain’t nothing promised
Feels like my times expired
And I ain’t even started
Came up in the black market
And survived it
Like Tupac raised me in this dark ass climate
You better take advantage
‘Cause these niggas ain’t got no manners
Soon as you done they vanish
Tripping off that spinach
These bitches is scandalous
They don’t even bang with us
So we keep the pump with us
You better buckle up
‘Cause we ain’t letting nothing slide
This is do or die
So you better pick a side
Before you get open wide
Somebody better speak up
Somebody here to reach us
Tell them young’uns to keep the peace
‘Cause they wouldn’t listen to me
The streets is heartless
And it gave me a bucket list
Some of us wouldn’t see tomorrow
Gotta live it to the fullest nigga
Rosa Acosta looking bitch
I need that
Mansion on the hills with a butler
I need that
Bugatti with a pump on the back
I need that
Big faced roley with diamonds
I need that
'Cause I’m a go go get it
'Cause I’m a go go get it
'Cause I’m a go go get it
'Cause I’m a
'Cause I’m a go go get it
That was 10 years ago
I really thought that’s what I needed
I Guess I’m growing up a little bit

Impeccable Tranquility

Coronas and turkey burgers my weakness
Impeccable Tranquility you can’t teach this
This point in my life I’m just trying to fornicate
Smoke sativa to the bass
Middle finger, death to the...
Fill in the blanks bitch
Now that’s some anguish
You sick to your stomach cause we established
Get over it dawg check out the bandwidth
Crackhead Kenny be my witness
On Riverdale road I handle business
Too many cold nights and cold days
Only fucking with queens that’s in they hoe phase
Shout out Latasha she used to throw shade
Met her at Takoma park check cashing place
Medium rare steak at Apple bees
She call me a cheap nigga
Live by my means
Fake it til you make it never been an option
I lie in the sand before I be a fronter
I’m just being honest no cap
Catch a nigga in all black no designer
Get money all facts no promise
Always keep it a stack
And get knowledge
Always keep it a stack
And get knowledge
Coronas and turkey burgers my weakness
Impeccable Tranquility you can’t teach this
This point in my life I’m just trying to fornicate
Smoke sativa to the bass
I say I can’t breath she put it in my face
These hoes aggressive and that could be a case
I go so hard give her my best face
Now she got me smiling in a sex tape
The henny and cola keep my mind straight
These hating ass niggas boasting the crime rate
Relax nigga, relax
Maybe them likes on the gram got you gassed
Boss bitches out here getting to the cash
I love it and I ain’t never tripping
If she bought it
Nothing worse than a rich nigga insecure
You was a bum ass nigga from the door
Fake it til you make it never been an option
I lie in the sand before I be a fronter
I’m just being honest no cap
Catch a nigga in all black no designer
Get money all facts no promise
Always keep it a stack
And get knowledge
Always keep it a stack
And get knowledge

Priorities change nothing to gain
Part of the game okay let me explain

Bitches say I’m damaged
With low standards I’m disadvantaged
Call me a savage

Broke nigga I bet that’s a fetish too
Rather be getting money
Instead of chasing you

Spreading my love around the city
Fronting like I’m litty knowing
My life be shitty
Could it be my anxiety playing
Tricks on me nah

You been a lil off since you was a kid
A dysfunctional nigga
Unapproachable nigga
Reason why nobody ever chose you
Nigga is what she said
Smh for those who lack faith
For Gods sake

You ain’t getting no younger
Is what she said
You don’t deserve shit
But some lazy head
Damn near 40 talking about
You ain’t prepared yeah nigga
You don’t care
Been running around town chasing it
Chasing it
And I ain’t got time to get you fixed
She say blah blah blah time don’t fly

You got time nigga just let me know
Been running around town chasing it
Chasing it
And I ain’t got time to get you fixed
She say blah blah blah time don’t fly

A maverick ugh
Heart of a cassius but hate for the masses ugh
Genuine love for the flexes and the khaled’s
Take a 1000 songs for niggas to
Get they flowers ugh
But I blend in with nothing but the ballads ugh
Can’t kill this passion baby

Been So Long
03:18
|
|||
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby boy I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby girl I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby boy I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long
And I ain’t met your mama yet
I apologize for that
Days going so fast
It's hard to keep up with that
But we could catch up now
If you cool with that
Give me a chance to explain
Where I been at
For the last 20 years
This blood sweat and tears
Unrealistic fears that I can’t seem to share
My daddy say you ain’t a man
Until you get your own family
Been struggling for years
Trying to keep my insanity
Bringing baby boy into this
Fucked up world
Call me selfish over protective from 12
Or a dumb ass nigga to leave your brains on the curb
I can’t teach you what
I ain’t never learn my concern
Is you grow up better than us
Get more money than us
That’s a must
And I don’t even worry too much
Cause I know you’d be good enough
Yo that’s my son
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby boy I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby girl I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby boy I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long
Keep you off the pole is what Chris said
Cause lil girls quick to get mislead
Anybody ever touch you they dead
I sit for 30 I go to war for my baby
Cause daughters need their fathers
Sisters need their brothers
I ain’t have a sister
Barely connect with my mother
Maybe that’s the disconnect
It’s gets harder
Still I work it out
Every day with your mother ugh
She such a bitch sometimes
She makes me wonder
Maybe cause back in the day
Somebody touched her ugh
That cycle will never repeat
Hypothetically
You would have a college degree
5k a week company car and key
If it was up to me
To bums you would never speak
Cause I’d be damned
If you end up with a nigga like me
Nobody good enough for my baby
The shit got me going crazy
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby boy I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby girl I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long but I’ll be back tomorrow
From the womb baby boy I’ll see you soon
I know it’s been so long

Sacrifices made
Every little chance he take
Broken promises new challenges
Any young man couldn’t face
Let’s start from the basis
Lifestyle so tasteless pissy hallways
Cigarette butts no ash trays
Police chase too many cases
Hoping I don’t die in the process
With a setback I digest yo
With a negative mindset
Ain’t no love in the projects
This keep it real bulshit yeah
A dying concept ugh
Six months on a park bench
Still I kept my head high
Young’un got to stay fly
Finesse is how we got by
With dreams of kicking court-side
With a ride or die that’s my girl
Introduce you to my world that’s hostile
Show you how we did it
When we was 19
Stuck in the dirt
But think like a king
I just wanna be what I’m destined to be
Scrapping ever since fucking 1993
Get blown away

The wind blows on the other side
Blows on the other side
The wind blows on the other side
Get blown away
Get blown away

The wind blows on the other side

The wind blows on the other side
Scrolling through Zillow
About to purchase my first home
Too many principles now
I gots to stand on
Far remove from blocks
I used to stand on
Now they all gone
I gotta keep it going
20 years later
From bum to uncle fred
Here shaking my head
Dude said at 21 I’d be dead
But I ain’t scared I been fighting
All my life
Been on the run all my life
I been a ugh all my life
Trying to tie these loose ends
In a baby blue Benz
All I got is my dreams
Nigga fuck the routine
Came up off my scheme
Just a one man team
I put that middle finger up
Cause y’all ain’t got my steez
I put that middle finger up
Cause ain’t got my drip
And imma run through the city
Like I own this shit
All it take is one thought
For you to change your life
How could it took me this much
For me to get shit right damn
Get blown away
