Lyrics:
I wake up and wonder where today gon' take me
Should I light up a j or get this cake up
Will I be okay if I just lay here?
Boy stop bein' lazy, I'm a man who needa make payments
Stuck in this cycle of life where I grind daily
My minds on that paper, all I need for you is to pray for me
Don't worry bout what I do, I'm out here tryna make it for my Family
Muthafuckas think I'm crazy they don't understand me
My mind's too full for the world's bullshit
Where that river that flow I'm just goin' with it
Reach for that goal, I hope you pull me closer to it
I yearn to satisfy, like I need dopamine
I got a burnin' desire, never no hopelessness
Equipped with the eye of truth, never lose focus shit
I would never deny you unless you backstab me
Would you lie to me? Man that's some rat handlin'
Ignorant to society, sometimes I feel like I'm backpeddlin'
I'm just tryna plan this route out carefully
My mind's a blueprint to let out my creativity
I don't do shit that's useless its all meant to be 
If you don't get to choosin' then just let it be
And only time will tell when you know it's truly destiny
Do I still need to lay it out for you, or is it evident?
My synapse intertwines with galaxies, thoughts feel heaven sent
Sync my mind with the melody, let the words ricochet
It's time that I ball out my verses be rich as hell
No you will never break me down like the sickle cell
And to those goin' through it just know that I wish you well

My Mind

[verse 1]
I’ve been waitin for this moment man 
It’s been so long you don’t understand 
I’ve been patient now I’m ready to make noise
Headed to the top and I’m bringing all my boyz
Ever since I moved back home I had no choice
But to leave you alone and try to make it on my own
Mom I promise you I’m just tryna do the right thing 
As long as you believe I can see it gettin bright here  
I get home and light an incense for my dead relatives
I’ma grow to be God’s son and not the devil’s kid
Mom and pops done been through hella shit
Lost one son, one daughter still got hella kids
I got you sis, your name will always stay relevant
May we always prosper in this land filled with snakes
Pray for those who tryna stop us and only deal the hate
Came from the bottom, gettin’ closer to the gates

[chorus]
I’ma get the keys now
Stay focused everyday
Don’t like my style
You can get out my way
I’m headed to the top 
Comin’ straight out the bay
And I don’t plan to stop 
So move out my lane

[verse 2]
It’s like a game I’m only tryna play to win 
Pray I make it to heaven in this life of sin
Ninety lives, I’m on my twenty eighth try 
I was only sixteen when I saw my life pass me by
I’ve been dreaming since to take my family high
A decade later I’m in the game like it’s do or die
My method is to calculate all the ways to survive
I’m runnin’ no where to hide you know where to find me
I’m stuntin’ with my riders, you frontin’ on the IG
It’s a crazy life all I need is my dime piece 
Lord I’m grateful that I got someone to remind me 
That it’s not all about the fame or stacking cheese 
You’d say the same if you saw all these people around me
You know the name, you can call me Cao P 
I made my fam happy, that’s somethin I can say proudly 
Family over everything go and ask about me

Get The Keys

[Verse 1]
Man I’m blessed I had a head start before my peers
Ask my cuz they got locked up for 4-5 years
What would you do if you see your old man cry tears? 
What if Jesus didn’t rise on the third day?  
Forgive us for the sins and lies from the old way 
Forgive me for my mistakes, I learned the hard way 
Still don’t know what it takes, I burned thru the fast lane
See the finish line, run it like a presidential campaign
I’m tryna make it all mine, I’m tryna do the damn thang
Land of the snakes, I got dragon on my back mayne
Fakes tryna drag me down, hoes ain’t want me back then
If you know me now you know I got your back mayne
Top dawg my brothers know I run this pack mayne
Priv bottles on my tab, do it all for the fam mang
We all gon make it out, let’s pop the champagne
I see you workin hard late nights ain’t a thing changed
Used to be young and dumb, all we did was play games
Those days long gone, so stay real and don’t ever front boy
I pray you get everything you want it’s your choice
I pray you get everything you want it’s your choice 

[Chorus 2x]
Don’t you worry about thang, it’s gonna be okay
Memories gon fade, I’ll always remain the same
I see the fog in the bay, It gets clearer every day
Swear I’ll never fade, you know me mayne

[Verse 2]
Sittin’ here reminiscing’ on the old days
Life’s mystery we may never figure out the way
Like a detective tryna crack a cold case
I’m on a mission to try to get hella paid 
It’s real decisions man this ain’t no role play 
All my sisters workin hard to provide for the fam 
All my brothers who did dirt to survive as a man 
Don’t you worry just know that Gods got a plan 
You complacent or you just fear to grow old
You wasting’ your youth never dare to go gold
You still talking like we got no where to go
You ain’t workin hard cuz you scared of the dough
Man I’ll never let those voices get me down bruh
Like I ain’t got a choice I never fuck around bruh
You hear the sounds fading’ so I keep it loud bruh
I see the clowns playin’, they ain’t about nothin’
If I ain’t doin nothin right, go ahead and say somethin

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Shoutout to the OGz who taught me the game
One love to all my cousins who tryna maintain

Never Fade

Ay, one day I woke up and decided to write this song
I wish it was a dream, for all those years I was alone
All I needed was for someone to throw me a bone 
I’m not in the streets, I’m lucky I still got a home
I’m talking how my heart beat, shit is still so cold 
I got chills coming down my spine 
I think I keep running out of time   
You always wondering what’s on my mind 
I’m just trying to hold on to what’s mine
All I got is memories of those happy days 
It ain’t been the same since you went away
I’m deep in the game how I deal with the pain
I need some change but I’ma still be the same

Alone. [Oneverse]

[Verse 1]
If someone tells you they need some time listen
Sometimes that’s all you need to go on with them 
It ain’t that complicated just do the math 
I been procrastinate but now I’ma do the task 
One on one you and me, let our love multiply
We become us lookin’ forward to the day we unify
Until then I’ma take the path to get us right 
If it means waiting cuz it don’t happen over night
It’s ok if you don’t tell me how, I’m gon figure this out 
My line is open, leave a message, if you need to shout
Or even silence, pump the brakes if you wan go that route 
Ain’t no right or wrong answer I’ma take what you give me
Spend the night alone, won’t even ask for forgiveness
And if it takes for me to give you room to breathe
I will wait forever until the end of time if you need

[Chorus] 
You know I’ma wait for you 
I know I done a lot of thangs
Promise to be a better man 
With you I won the lottery
Our love crafted like pottery 

You know I’ma wait for you 
I know I done a lot of thangs
Promise to be a better man
For you I give you all of me 
That’s love, truth and honesty 

[Verse 2]
Look, no matter how many times I say that I’m sorry 
I’ll work on letting my actions resolve all your worries  
My only purpose is to make the most of this earth
And making sure that only first place is your worth
If you hurtin’, I’ll try to let my heart do the healing 
Take a cut, I’m a part of what you feeling 
No if or buts, that’s for sure so keep it real with me
In my mind you’ll never be afar even spiritually
I hear stories of jealousy that leads to negativity
You the opposite of enemy God made you heavenly 
Take the frontline for you until the end of me 
Long as you mine, when I’m done with my final verse
Leave it all behind, it ain’t no wait in my search
Movin’ on to the next chapter, the rest is history 
Cuz what happens now best be her story 

[Chorus] 
You know I’ma wait for you
I know I done a lot of thangs
Promise to be a better man
With you I won the lottery
Our love crafted like pottery 

You know I’ma wait for you
I know I done a lot of thangs
Promise to be a better man
For you I give you all of me 
That’s love, truth and honesty
