LYRICS:
Okay now I ain't superficial, I was born broke. 
I was in the kitchen cooking up a bunch of shit 
And now the young boy hanging with the old folk 
Filled with optimism while they busy tryna diss em 
I ain't perfect. I've been looking at the press, 
They be showing all my homies all the perks of being depressed 
Man we gotta stop living with a net, 
Bro we've gotta stop chilling and go HAM for the check now 
Last year I made a band, turned into a family. 
Next year, playing NAMM, heading for the Grammys. 
I'm out here to stand up for the long haul 
Some of y'all some self-centered, egotistic ball hogs, ugh. 
Too focused on yourself 
Get your greedy ass along because I don't need your help 
Bro you really think that I'm gonna slip? 
You ain't never gonna see me call it quits, so for now I'm stunting. 

My city looking so good with the top down. (4x) 

Alright I'm heading for the pinnacle, my apex. 
Say less and do more 
Pay less and detour 
And keep on, be reborn 
Life was on autopilot to no advantage 
Riding my own ship, but 
I was wasting all of my gas, 
Made a fool of myself, 
Tried to live on my own, 
Like I didn't need help. 
My girl was all on my phone, 
Tryna talk to me sweet, 
But I had to hang up, 
Cause I was making a beat. 
I put the music in the fore front, 
You was in the corner watching me turn to a grown up 
Failing desperately to get a piece of me to warm up 
Failing recipes to make me rest in peace, I told ya 
I'm the next to be up in the city for the come up 
And I'm bringing all my homies with me so I warned ya 
Don't care if you with me or against me, you know imma get my cheddar and all 
So baby go get you a man with a regular job, I'm stuntin' 

My city looking so good with the top down. (4x)

On Gawd - Single

On Gawd

143 3000
Cold on the block that my cousin was lost in
Love ain’t enough when a drug is an option 
I can’t afford to refrain from the caution
I made more than my friends know
And I can’t go back for the checkup
And you can’t tell a boy he ain’t check on ya
But you’re quick to remind me I’m next up
Couldn't tell you the same, I’d be lying to you
And I feel all the pain that you kept stuck
In the back of your brain, that been weighing on you
Now it’s all in your head and you're messed up
Shit. Maybe i should take a day off
Maybe my girl wasn’t tripping
And I am too much for her, damn I was way off
Maybe continuous talking and sharing emotions will make this shit pay off
Maybe repeating my problems is counterproductive and I should just lay off 
Thank God I did. 
I let God take the wheel and he pulled over to an Arco. 
Pumped my tank til it got full. 
And he sent me money just to get food. 
Now I’m rejuvenated as FUCK
I was too lit to be STUCK
I had to be STUCK, to learn how to function 
Now that my memory’s tough, I’m doing enough, to keep myself up... shit. 
I’ve been alone for a month, I’m doing my does, I’m not gone dysfunction
Took life to a better turn
My nigga Tarik got a Jennifer
I never say nigga in any track
So if I say it, bro I’m fucking sure 
Back in love for a second term
Tru done called me like you know the word
Asia call me like “you know your worth”
Watch out for the 23rd

Where's Yo Mind

You You You

That's How Life Goes (C'est La Vie)

I've Got My Life 2 Live

if i find some sleep tonight
if my eyes don't weaken my rest. on God.
could i get some sleep tonight?
or could i just remember your time alive?
but i just hate to waste time
cause that'll take some time
but i could take some time
but that'll waste
and i could use a little help whenever you're available
(forever and ever)
never, never
(forever and ever)
never, never
and i've had lenses on you since you were a baby boy
(forever and ever)
forever and ever (forever and ever)
ever, ever, ever
if you find some sleep tonight
let me be the reason your names alive
cause i could use some sleep tonight
let the stress alleviate from your mind
cause i can't waste no time on stress tonight (4x)
cause i can't waste no time in no more funerals
i'm tryna be alive tonight
wanna be alive tonight
feels good to be alive tonight
tryna be alive tonight
and maybe im the reason why i'm miserable
my mom told me the right advice
dad told me the right advice
my girl told me the right advice
just listen to that higher life

yeah yeah. for the love of my life
with the love of my life, imma plant another seed in this world
i could feed and remind me why i need her around
i don't need no one else
whether it's a mansion or a decent apartment
a crib in bel air or a studio in compton
i got you until i can't
and even though i got you, i still remain
knowing i could lose you any day
few years in, didn't plan it like this
didn't know that i would lose you when i found my new gift
i could really use your presence
but i got my new protector here. she could guide me through hell
just to show me the escape and just remind me, i'm well
evidently i've been emptier than empty, feeling dead
but the second that i hop into my bed and she's there, i'm good.

if i fall asleep tonight
i hope that i have you right by my side
father you can sleep tonight
i've got someone right here that's worth my time
now i don't believe in wasting time
time with you is never wasted time
one more day with you will make my night
one more night with you will make my life

Tony

TONY (demo)

this is the original demo i recorded in my car.

Lyrics:
I don’t want your pity offers
I don’t want this hanging over my head
I don’t want you claiming on me
You should probably focus on you instead
I’ve been feeling so dishonest
And I ain’t never speaking in silence again
Cause that shit cost me some fr—
Love was so important to me
Lately, I don’t even know what that is
Family provide it to me
Cause lately I can’t even trust none of my friends
The internet been lying to me
And telling me that I can cope and forget
But it’s hard to forget when your mind so neglected
I’m off and on again

I can’t with this baggage
(this baggage, this baggage, this baggage)
I can’t with this baggage
(this baggage, this baggage, this baggage)
And over my shoulder all that I carry on
On this carry-on, i’ll be carrying on with this baggage
(this baggage, this baggage, this baggage)
Ok

Let me feel something
Spin around in empty parking lots to make some noise
But it don’t matter cause your drive is not
Let me feel something
All that pillow talking get real suffocating
When your body chilling but your mind is not
Let me feel something
You are not looking for attention
Just looking for affection from the perfect one
Let me feel something
Or let me feel nothing. I would rather feel nothing at all
On God but I’m bitter
And can’t consider any better option with them
And I am not the type to sit and bargain with them
And y’all don’t talk, you like to argue over twitter
And start tripping till we start to reconsider
In my days forgetting ‘bout heartbreak
Regretting all my hate embedded but damn
It’s hard to be connected when your mind is so neglected
Yeah I’m off and on again

I can’t with this baggage
(this baggage, this baggage, this baggage)
I can’t with this baggage
(this baggage, this baggage, this baggage)
And over my shoulder all that I carry on
On this carry-on, i’ll be carrying on with this baggage
(this baggage, this baggage, this baggage)
This baggage

Two Weeks

Two Weeks (demo)

for all my qt pies going through a rough time
btw if you're confused, i posted a 30 second snippet a month ago and now i updated the file with the full song.

Lyrics:
If you don't got it figured out, it's okay
If you don't got it figured out, it's okay
If you don't got it figured out yet, it's okay
If you don't got it figured out, it's okay

Just as a remind to myself that I've been good thus far
Right. 25 minutes on the treadmill
25 hours since I got a good amount of sleep
25 days on a stand still
25 months til I get my music off its feet
25 years of my mom's life
Spent her independence tryna get my independence too
Twenty-some years I've been on this earth
And I wonder what it's worth
But you know pedigree's on a level my enemies couldn't dare to touch
I can't get depressed from nobody
I took days off to rest my own body
I came right back said "screw everybody, yeah"
That wanna take me to hell
How you feel knowing you failed?
You couldn't give me the wrong messaging
I've been living my legacy well
Baby I'm friendly as well, but don't test me
Don't catch me on a weekday, I might bite
Firm believer of a free space, so I might keep my secrets just to me
Keep my secrets just to me, yeah
I don't trust too many people with my life
I don't really think we're equal so I might keep my secrets just to me
Give a second and you'll see...

If you don't got it figured out, it's okay
If you don't got it figured out, it's okay
If you don't got it figured out yet, it's okay
If you don't got it figured out, it's okay

Just as a remind to myself that I've been good thus far
Yeah
Ooh
Aye
Just as a remind to myself that I've been good thus far
Would I lie? Would I lie? Would I lie? Would I lie?

(I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it)
(I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it) 
(I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it) 
(I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it)
