(Verse 1)
See I remember mama's stove 
All them nights mama was baking and cleaning 
I adore the kitchen when she played Erykah badu, cause I enjoyed to listen
Just to escape you resorted to your colorful artwork
You've been drained but you been drained by the heart first 
In 2014, you finally got a hold of your childhood dream
The happiest you've ever been and the realest smile I've ever seen
If I could take it back to Parks n nem street or the yellow house 
If my story was to unfold would you feel the same about me now?
Smoking before school, but it was cool to me at the time
When niggas was using pencils to beat on tables to freestyle they rhymes
We was innocent lives tryna make it out and have fun at the same time
But pops gave us advice and said that you can't do both in this life uh
Attracted to all the wrong, temptations led me out of character 
Every women I ran to, made me feel like I could marry her
But the love felt all around me felt nothing less but irregular 
I see myself as irregular, so I hope that you understand 

(Hook)
Take me back
Take me so
Take me momma
Take me home

Take me back
Take me so
Take me momma
Take me home

Take me back
Take me so
Take me momma
Take me home

(Verse 2)
No place left to stay so your boyfriend let us stay at his momma’s house
You was doing your best and he still managed to let you down
Bullets flew from afar 
This shit comes straight from my heart, that's where most villains  start, so I- 
So I keep going til these demons depart from me
I say shit honestly just to see you react
Your words can mean it all but still fall if they have no back
No backbone having ass huh?
Finish don’t start with a nigga 
If I can't learn love you right then I'll leave even when it’s hard to forget ya
I'm ahead of the picture that you painted half a week ago
I’m still at my momma’s stove
Cooking up vision though
Chris bagging me a flamming bag of doritos for free 
He kept the family fed for the rest of the week
I take this back to the carolina’s just to show y’all who’s sweet (That’s me)
Put my mom in a recliner and tell her relax
You done damn near lost it all dont need no more of that
You done damn near lost it all dont need no more of that, nah

(Verse 1)
Say if you had all answers to every question
Would you love to live a life that serves no lessons?
Or would you rather live your life without building your character?
Find who’s scarier
A boy who’s only tough around his boys, hilarious
I hide myself from the world when i feel i don’t fit in (Yeah)
Me and nic go fit for fit, nobody else contends (Yeah)
I just shitted on ‘em again, oops, accident 
Self conflicts killed my confidence 
So obvious at the fact that i had the things brought me happiness
I’m coming back around
I haven’t lost it all yet
I’m not the type to gamble, but for this, i’m breaking bounds
Bet
Opened a can of whoopass outside 
Mama told me don’t let ‘em try it
Pops stuck in his ways, he’s a product of 85’
Close quarter in combat with all my demons 
Last talk with nana was the last time i seen her breathing

(Chorus)
Don’t hate me, cause I don’t feed your into your feelings, they fake
Nigga wanna be tmv gotta show me you not a lame
Emotional intelligence gets higher day by day
Everybody on weird shit, can’t catch a vibe these days 
It’s hard enough being me
Lately I been feeling a feeling that I can’t tame 
Stress been tight on my mind, like jailbraids
Mean every word that i breathe
Affirmations to everybody
All life’s peace
…

(Chorus)
Don’t hate me, cause I don’t feed your into your feelings, they fake
Nigga wanna be tmv gotta show me you not a lame
Emotional intelligence gets higher day by day
Everybody on weird shit, can’t catch a vibe these days 
It’s hard enough being me
Lately I been feeling a feeling that I can’t tame 
Stress been tight on my mind, like jailbraids

(Verse 1)
My only curse is being too aware
I’ve fallen victim to the problems that are there but never there
Stay up out your mind kid and step outside
Get to know the world around you not the hard times 
It don’t define me but inspires me to be a higher me
I expect to see in five years me doing finger things
Smoking on this joint right now and it reminds me
Said that I would never smoke but then I smoked with Auntie
I moved away from my mom’s crib at the age of sixteen
Conversations everyday but now I’m hardly in reach
Unwisely I made the move to Rhode Island to find myself 
I should’ve changed my mind the night I cried
I know you probably felt like you ain’t doing nothing right
Every night shift that you took
All the shit you sacrificed
Plus you young with three babies and man who don’t bring you peace
Daily affirmations get you day by day, throughout the week

(Hook)
Uh, I liberate my soul from all these vices
You can only love with open heart and mind
Lord free me from a heart that’s indecisive 
Then maybe we can have another try
I need to pray more and smoke less
There’s still pictures to the story that I haven’t wrote yet
Nana watching over me for this one
Nana watching over me for this one 

(Verse 2)
Stepping off my momma’s porch to see the world for what it is
Everything is changing nothing stays as what it is
None of your friends wanna  hit you up after you move from out the state
Now I contemplate on dropping all my hardest shit to date
I been working on my music and i’m working on myself
Cause you can’t find out where you going til you know yourself
That’s some self love shit you put me on to that
In love with your influence got me listening to jazz

(Hook)
I liberate my soul from all these vices (Yeah)
You can only love with open heart and mind (That's right)
Lord free me from a heart that’s indecisive 
Then maybe we can have another try
I need to pray more and smoke less
There’s still pictures to the story that I haven’t wrote yet
Nana watching over me for this one
Nana watching over me for this one 

(Hook)
I liberate my soul from all these vices
You can only love with open heart and mind
Lord free me from a heart that’s indecisive 
Then maybe we can have another try
I need to pray more and smoke less
There’s still pictures to the story that I haven’t wrote yet
Nana watching over me for this one
Nana watching over me for this one

 (Verse)
Yeah 
New year what we doin?
Uh
Fuck a new year or new me, it’s the same me
Love cold like it’s icebox, but i got her neck on freeze 
Ballin, single threat, I got no 23 on me
Life is a bitch but no game, live it in peace homie, uh 
He the type nigga to rap on his life shit 
Well i’m the type of nigga that's gon speak on my mind shit 
And love on my queen, she never gon switch 
I wish sometimes I could hit skip from the daily routine 
Mixing weed with the grabba, I roll with grabba fiends
Her body is so pristine, I had to paint it with my skee
I put her in pink diamonds, she popped out in some nice colors bling 
Living low like i’m lowski
Deactivate the gram cause I like living remotely 
I smoked my realness away
I been stoned for a lil minute 
I fucked away the pain but I lost touch with my real feelings
Long term battling pain, I buried some resentments 
Note to self, i’m working on not being so distant
Note to self, no need to be the judge
But be the listen 
Note to self, your thoughts be your own intervention 
Note to self, letting go is a start to self healing 
Yeah 
Say she got no ass but I see cap in how she throw it back 
I hit it so good I got her asking where I be at, yeah
You know you fucked up when you pulling some shit from ya ass, at last minute 
I don’t know how to handle ya feelings, I’m bad with it 
Can’t handle my own
I feel like giving up when I feel like I been here before 
I say that I don’t need your love but then I need it some more

(Hook)
Uh, yeah I've been tryna work things out with you
But this feels like it's more than my issues
Lets light a blunt up, we fucking til sun up
You know that we got some more money to run up
I ain't tryna fuck up your heart anymore
I'm tryna heal you and your heart from the scars, ohh

(Verse 1)
Yeah uh
We can settle this out
Don't need a battle axe
You say you want peace of mind, where ya mental at?
Shorty always stressing me out, that's where you lost me at
Ion ever crashout about no pussycat
I know they come back, that's facts
Ion live by the law, my own law, shawty got me in awe
A little bit of love or then she gone by tomorrow 
But even after that nothing will break us apart, uh

(Hook)
Uh, I've been tryna work things out with you
But this feels like it's more than my issues
Lets light a blunt up, we fucking til sun up
You know that we got some more money to run up
I ain't tryna fuck up your heart anymore
I'm tryna heal you and ya heart from the scars, ohh

(Verse 2)
This shit kinda feel like teen love
Ion want them drugs
I need love
I need that love that feels like love,  I aint feel that love in a minute
I'm fucked up, yeah, I get it
I'm really getting bored of these feelings 
She got me on lock like a 4 year sentence
Gimme top while I wrote it, oh Lord I'm a menace
The love here is evil, I can't spare no feelings, I-

(Hook)
I've been tryna work things out with you

(Intro)
Yeah
Man this feel like some-, some sunday morning
Yeah, aye lemme talk to you

(Verse)
I picked up my pen just to reach a lil deeper
My heart is beneath her, she got me all worn out like some torn up sneakers, but I finally peaked
I finally found someone who can match me
Our styles sort of align and she writes her songs in poetry, oh lord knows
Lord knows that I shouldn't indulge this much
Women come two-sided, choose the wrong one and that's you giving the devil's crutch
Roll me a blunt ladder up to the top, man, I'm climbing up to the skies (I need ya)
I'm dehumanized from me blocking out the natural ways of living life (I need ya)
Living incorrect when nobody's home
He found peace in them trailer homes
Would want his father to talk about it, goddamn he's a lonely soul
5 years later I come to knuck with the best of the best 
Lyrical tight, pen straight, and blue truth bumping in my chest (uh)
My heart is heavy so I pray that these words will never fail me
Knees talking to the ground pleading "Lord don't you ever fail me", I'm living and learning steady 
A heartbreaker ties into the beliefs of a self lover
Staying cause you don't wanna hurt her don't mean that you really love her


(I need ya)
(I need ya)

Qu3$3 - Stereo Poetry

Written by Arquese Parker

(Intro)
Aye man, say man, look man
Uh, Dear God
May everything in this song prosper
I know I don't pray too often

(Verse 1)
I know every family got their traumas and struggles, but reduce mine
I feel like I been living on rewind, tell me what you know bout suffering? (Uh huh, what you know bout?)
Deliver all your soul and you still get nothing yet?
Patience is virtue, I guess I gotta get that in my head
Baby Kenny got baby on the way, I pray for new life that's ahead
I missed Sai and Nana birthday cause I wanna be in the city instead
I hope that you forgive me for causing the family's spread
I'm praying for me to forgive me
I need you to grow close to your heart
Look inside and find what's wrong, it's called self journey 
Allusive how I reside
I'm on the island that's Isle, so nobody concerns me (Mhm)
I feel like you not worthy of my speak, I keep my mouth closed
DND when I found my peace, huh

(Hook)
You don't answer the phone 
DND (Uh huh)
We smoke better when we're alone
DND (Yeah)
I don't want you to go home

(Verse 2)
See I got family issues and you got family issues, we're meant for each other 
The more we stay together the less we feel the need for any other
I love your love so much cause it reminds me of my mother
A women who was there and did her best
So who am I to judge her?
I see past the false gratitude in the family's eyes
The truth bleeds through my eyes
And a thousand times I'm sorry for how I ended that night
I mean like

(Bridge)
And we don't gotta move too fast, too fast 
I don't wanna waste no time with you
I don't wanna miss time with you
Said, we don't gotta move too fast, too fast
Girl I don't wanna waste my time with you

..

(Verse 3)
I said "Hold up girl, can you wait a minute"
I been tryna get touch with your feelings for a minute (Yeah, haha, thats how you get shit going) 
You put cha head down when you feel down (Aye get these niggas moving show ‘em how we get down down south man)
And you only act out when nobody's around, like 
I can't take your seriously (No, no, no, no)
You filled my head up with lies and said the villain was me (Okay)
Legitimately, I wonder why you did me so vigorously (Yeah)
I put my foot down when bad bitches was talking to me
I wake up with my heart gone first thing in the morning (Where you at?)
5 in the morning looking for your text thats not there (Man where you been at?)
10 O'clock at night missing your hands running through my hair
I conversate with my demons lord, tell that boy I'll take it there 
No playing it fair 
I go hard for shit I can't lose and something to prove 
I dub bitches just by loving to you
But before I drop you off, let me take it off (Ohh, ohh)
This is the time of our lives (Ohh ohh, ohh)
So tell me baby, is this what you want?
What you want baby? (Uh)
Rocky navy blue, spiritual is on guard (Ohh, ohh)
Is this really love? Baby don't you front (Is this what you want, is this what you want?)
All I need is trust cause to me the truth talks
If you wanna talk baby, just talk to me (Is this what you want, is this what you want?)
Don't keep your heart closed baby keep it unlocked for me

Is it what chu want? 
Is it what chu want? (Ohh, ohh ohh)

Qu3$3 - Dear God

(Verse)
I’m stepping through the corridors of doubt
This is self expression for the cause that I’m about 
The open mind, what it really means to be divine
I get in-tuned with myself, gave inner self listen
I need to clean out my vision for better intuition  My perception was the reason I was held down 
At 16 I was moving out my momma’s house
Tryna figure out how to make this rap shit happen 
Yeah Life’s a big transaction the way that it takes 
How is it peace be found in such a devilish place? I’m from the land of the free but it’s really home of the slave
Where you tell me that I’ll burn in hell for making mistakes 
I’m guessing that’s society’s way of saying “Fuck you”
I’m gon be on top of the world because I want to
I was slave since birth, it’s called prison of the mind
Sometimes I ask myself did revolution rewind?


(Hook)
Know thy self
I wake up every morning tryna know thy self
Know thy self, uh
Before I go to sleep I pray I know thy self
Know thy self
I wake up every morning tryna know thy self
Know thy self, uh
Before I go to sleep I pray I know thy self
Know thy self
I wake up every morning tryna know thy self
Know thy self, uh
Before I go to sleep I pray I know thy self

(Hook)
Yeah this some real raw shit, I jumped right off the pad (Uh huh)
Legitimate illest, taste like the medicine you wish you never had
Yeah you can't stomach it (Talk)
I'm probably playing on ya girl radio, and I bet she and lovin it (Damn)

(Verse 1)
Yeah I roll my gas and then I play my song
I got some shit in the making, I handle business alone (You what?)
I got the TMV, yeah, it's real sweet
Gimme five stars
I can tap dance with heat and still compete, I go dumb hard (Talk yo shit lil nigga)
I left my mama house early, and I left with a chip on my shoulder (Uh huh)
Searching for peace but he found himself struggling to sober (Uh huh)
Always held me up when I was down, she put some soul in me (Yeah)
When I fuck up we go again, I know you count on me (Yeah)
And if we go again, I don't want to hurt or make you hate me
And sorry in advance, for me to make you love me 
Loving on safety 
I'm a complex man, ain't shit your fault love
I want my place next to you, don't share my spot love 
You bad with it
Sneak into my heart and steal the stash, like you past due on rent 
Life is fashion so I dress it up how I like to 
Align with my outer taste and my inner divine 
Spiritual lyrical, but God ain't write me none of these lines (Yeah)

(Chorus)
And when I rap my part, I shouldn't even hear speak
I been in the kitchen cooking since a nigga was 13
Let that nigga talk his shit while you rock yo head to the- 
I put my all into it
I didn't have to sell bricks
I give my all for this shit, not going back to the fence 
And If I ain't talking my shit then I'm rapping something to learn 
Johnny test on new shit
What's said is not unheard, word

(Verse 2)
You live in a world where a sinner will judge a sinner for living a different sin
So cut me off I could care less, because my patience has run thin
Fake colors show quicker than people picking they own gender 
Don't wrap me up in your own failing agenda, nah nah
Gotta make sure me and the homies stay down
They know I serve like the army
My hand still reaches out to those who scarred me 
When am I gon learn to love you right?
I wish I knew 
I always gave you love, you let me down
So it's fuck you
Now we here at seventeen going through life moods
Resentment, Conflicted, Addictions
What am I supposed to do?
I'm too hard to lie to now, I pay too much attention 
I need a G.P.S.
God please show the way, said I need your assistance
Music is all I got now, I threw the drugs away
Feelings feel strange now, it's hard to conversate 
I been locked up for a while now, inside a stagnanative state 
I think that I should smoke it off
No all you need is change

(Chorus)
And when I rap my part, I shouldn't even hear speak
I been in the kitchen cooking since a nigga was 13
Let that nigga talk his shit while you rock yo head to the-

(Kendrick Lamar interview audio)
People dont like to look themselves in the mirror, its the hardest thing to do 
You know?
Its to critique yourself rather than pointing a finger, you know? 
And everybody hates change 
So to actually do that and say “I’m wrong in a lot of areas”
I’ll look at myself and say i’m wrong in a lot of areas 
That takes a lot of willpower, you dig what i’m saying? (Yeah)
So it starts with self first

(Verse 3)
One thing that I admit, is I feel lost and abandoned 
Two things I won’t admit, is I’ve been stagnant and jaded
I give my all bout every time, sometimes I wonder “Why manage?”
Over complicated, I’ll try to explain, I scream your name in vain
Asking “Oh why lord do you do me this way?”
Oh well here he go 
There I go pointing my finger again
How many times until I realize that change needs to set in?

(Hook)
Yeah this some real raw shit, I jumped right off the pad 
Legitimate illest, taste like the medicine you wish you never had (Yeah)
Yeah you can't stomach it
I'm probably playing on ya girl radio, and I bet she and lovin it
