09 My Own Drum (Bangin)

Full Lyrics:
They've never belonged to us
They're actually free to go

Un
So many thoughts on my mental
I don't know where to start
How did we let some hoe shit
Come and tear us apart
Lack of communication
I'm getting tired of waiting
Running out of patience
But fuck It shit
I'm still feeling good
Getting lit with all of my bitches
As I fucking should
If I could leave right now
I promise I would
You say I'm never home
But I get love in the hood
Like how the fuck we spose to work
When you hate where you is
Every chance you get
You tell me you hate where you at
And if you really walk away
It ain't no coming back
They say the truth can really hurt
I rather speak the facts
So ima keep it that
And being with me ain't simple
I'm a thug bitch
But you knew that
For you even fell in love bitch
But what's love got to do
With anything at all
I'm still always the one
To catch you when you fall
But I can't lie
You didn't crack or fold under law
That's the type of shit
That make me wana risk all
Already know where this can go
Didn't wana get involved
I got 99 problems I can't seem to solve

I can't let a bitch be one though
Tell em what it is up front
They try to back door
Hand in my hand
We promised to never let go
Thought that we was locked in
Really walking on a tightrope

Hard To Love

Tightrope

TightRope

Full Lyrics:
It's 3 in the morning

Doing the dash on the interstate
Speeding to you cus I need you
I'm just locked in
Here we go again
Baby yeah I'm on 10
Do you bold fuck a rose

Grim ripper how I snatch souls
These drugs got me in my feelings

Full Lyrics:
Yeah
Un
It's been a whole lot of shit going on
But you know
I can't let shit slow me down
Yeah
I be feeling like I'm misunderstood
And shit
But I really don't give a fuck
Fuck it

See me face to face
Ain't too many words
(I'm just)
Peeping out your vibe
And how you handle yours
I can't do too many
They be on my nerves
I'll probably get to smacking bitches
I be on the verge
I was fucked up in the head
I ain't even know it
Do this shit the right way
I was kinda hoping
Make me wonder
Do anybody around me notice
Always tryna hide the way I'm feeling
But I still show it
Still show it
Really wear my heart on my sleeve
That's a open book
Everybody dying to read
Fuck this in my cup
Ninja turtle the green lean
Had to slow it down
I be catching the whole scene

Un
Ain't nobody hand me shit
Got out here and earned
I ain't fucking up again
Got out here and learned
I was in that jail cell
Feeling like I failed
Whole time
I was beating cases
You couldn't even tell
Whole time
Ima pay the lawyer
When I make a sell
Whole time
I be at the box
Waiting for the mail
I be taking trips
Just to clear my mind
Back at home put em in position
I don't miss a dime
Probably could have been blowed up
But it wasn't time
Even if I did it probably
(Shhh)
Never did the crime

Probably never got the pussy
Cus you kiss and tell
It's a no for me
But I still want to wish you well
It's a no for me cus I
What i look like
(Cus nawl)
We don't do that type of shit
I am not yo wife
(Lil nigga)
I don't play them type of games
I'm grown as hell
I'm the type of bitch
That you call to make the bail
I'm the type of bitch
That gota show you what's really real
Cus what you used to
Is exactly what the fuck I'm not
Not settling for shit
Is exactly why the fuck I got
Exactly where I am
Don't give a fuck about being hot
(Bitch)

On The Verge

Full Lyrics:
I'm really starting to
Feel like I'm the
Motherfucking best with this shit
Like
Ha
These bitches ain't fucking with me
For real
Like for real
Take it how you want to take it
Bitch
Bitch ass nigga

Yo
I don't even write no more
I just say what I want
Just say what I feel
I got to keep it real
These other bitches can't do it
Or they ain't gone do it
Who ever doubted me
I'm just here to say
Fuck you
Really stuck to my shit
I ain't never change
But I grew up and realized
That we ain't the same
We ain't cut the same
What don't kill you
Make you stronger
I swallowed the pain
Made it through the rain
Just got a collect call from my momma
3 way my lil sister
We gone try to think of something
Life is a lottery
Its a motherfucking gamble
Probably got a couple plays
On my other lil number
I'm the type of bitch
That's gone make a nigga respect me
If nothing else a nigga gone respect me
I ain't met a bitch yet
I let stress me
You all don't impress me
Niggas ain't putting up the bread
If you ain't fucking on them
Guess I don't fucking need them
Get the bread
Get the head
Then I fucking leave them
Then I link up with his bitch
I'm a cool lil bitch
Real smooth ass bitch
Got to be bout pape
To keep my attention
But fuck how you feeling
Keeping my distance
Not enough room
On this private jet
For lazy niggas
Get a bitch hair done
Cause I like pulling on her inches

Success overnight
That's a dream what you sleeping for
Success overnight
That's a dream what you sleeping for
Book a couple trips
On flint 2 Forbes
Where you want to go

Respect Me

Finding My Way

Full Lyrics:
Un
Probably time
I get up out these streets (time to go)
As I sleep
Granny pray to Lord
For my soul to keep
Deliver me
God forgive me for disobedience (God)
I might move out the country
Become an immigrant
Un
God knows only heaven knows
Which way I'm headed
But I'm ready
I stay on my toes
This that different mindset
The kind that come with growth
Always been protected
Yeah i'm good
Worry bout the foes

No more half steeping (un)
Sticking to the message
Can't be out here second guessing
Gota get to where I'm destined
I be damned I miss a blessing
We was paying 21
Before we ever bought the crib
But I can not take the credit
No it ain't all me
You ain't never pick up
When I buzzed
Now you can't call me (hun)
You wasn't never focused
On the vision
And we all see
The hate up in yo heart
Show through yo eyes
You been getting by on lies
And we all see (chea)
This purpose run deep
So what I look like giving up (who)
The devil don't sleep
So what I look like giving up
And we finally aware
That's why they really mad at us
Ima bite if it's for dog
You can keep yo tail tucked (hun)
Never wanted to be the one
That they can't deal with
This season of my life
Is bout ownership
And them partnerships
Un
Speaking of shout out them people
At al capone
Upping pape in a new way
I put my city on (Flint)
I get respect from people
That don't even know a single song
This is real life
Not a lil app you put yo business on
All the females wana rap
Who you think the reason
We ain't on the same thing
Don't compare me to that demon
Had to cut her off cus
She wasn't matching the frequency (bye)
These days I over protect the energy (yuh)
These days
It's really deeper than chemistry
If it ain't for the love
Then you considered the enemy

Un
Probably time
I get up out these streets (time to go)
As I sleep
Granny pray to Lord
For my soul to keep
Deliver me
God forgive me for disobedience (God)
I might move out the country
Become an immigrant
Un
God knows only heaven knows
Which way I'm headed
But I'm ready
I stay on my toes
This that different mindset
The kind that come with growth
Always been protected
Yeah I'm good
Worry bout the foes
Un
Chea

On Purpose

Sticking To The Message

Gods Work

Stephen Sparks III, better known as BlinkEase (Blink), is no stranger to the various twists and turns that life brings. Perils seemed to come early, as his Chicago-born father was incarcerated for murder when his only son was a few weeks old.  Forcing Stephan’s mother, a Flint, Michigan native to pack up their possessions and head back to familiar territory for a fresh start for them both. However, “the fresh start” opened Stephan’s eyes and mind to much more than music. This gave him his first look at the infamous struggles with poverty and violence that the city of Flint is known for.
In the Mid-90’s, Stephan’s mother enlisted her parents help raising the young boy. They initially promoted the creative freedom that helped Stephan to understand & appreciate different forms of art. By allowing access to different forms of artistic expression, his mother encouraged his musical interests stating, “I noticed that he had an incredible thirst for music. He would stay up nights listening to everything from Nas to Outkast; and by morning he’d be blasting Dilated Peoples, DMX or (Uncle) Luke.” Stephan credits his mother’s parental style of “informing not secluding” as the difference that allowed him to capture and create the vivid imagery of reality in his music. By 8th grade, Stephan began taking his love for crafting words seriously even acquiring a nickname from a fellow student who refused to call him anything but “Blink” after she obsessed over his eyes. It didn’t take long for the moniker to stick; especially after adding “Ease” to the end to describe his laid back demeanor. 
Stephan began to hone his skills as a lyricist and musician becoming: “BlinkEase” with the help of experience, family and friends. His music became his canvas and his life the brush allowing Blink to paint compelling stories with his words. Blink’s lyrics became a therapeutic way of coping with his impoverished surroundings on the South-Side of Flint. By 2003, Blink had took to the streets to feed and clothe himself which led to a federal indictment in 2010 that looked to derail his life and music career almost as soon as he was gaining ground in the city. 
After a year of court proceeding and lack of evidence Blink beat the drug charge; barely escaping a 5-40 year prison sentence. Upon his release Blink distanced himself from his former life to concentrate on his music career. Releasing several EP’s before his debut mixtape “Clarify” was released in February of 2013, Blink saw great response with underground hits like “No Sunshine” featuring Bosky Ochoa, “Hello” featuring Bammstar and “Cases” which gave a raw look into his previous legal woes. The 19 track delivering did well beyond expectations selling 300 physical copies and more than 200 downloads and streams; leading him to be named one of Flint’s “Freshmen 10” by Author/Blogger Olivia Brown in the summer of 2013. Not letting any success go to his head, Blink is already gearing up follow up project: Preservation set to be released in the fall of 2013.
