Still Illin (ft. Dre Gam and Camahre)

Dream On (ft. Camahre' and Dre Gam)

A chill and soulful song about LIFE featuring the homie J. Vance on the 1st verse
Production by DC of Wake and Bake Beats. Salute

LYRICS:
[Derrien-Hook 1] (x2): Ugh, aye what we say? what we say?
If you tired of strugglin' everyday say (Hell Yeahhhh)
Want the good life, but cant afford the price? (hell yeaaahh)
Thinking there's gotta be more to life? (hell yeaahhh)

[1st Verse- J. Vance]
Can you blame me, because I want better things?
Im not selfish, never said that I want everything.
Waiting on sunshine, screaming "let it rain!"
Thankful for struggle, I learned my greatest lessons from pain.
I'm no longer affected by pain.
Love and hate these days...just feel the same.
Trying my best to just stay in my lane.
But its so hard when your whole family strugglin' mane.
Had my situations, just flamed up.
Now i'm old, I see why certain calls we ain't answer.
School of Hard Knocks but my rhymes, they transfer.
So "Brave", they thought we grew up in Atlanta.
And darling this is so truth.
I don't believe anything unless I see proof.
Done heard so many lies I probably don't believe you.
I can look you in yo' eyes, and see that you see-through!

[J. Vance-Hook 2] 
Its more to life, than doing what you feel like.
Its more to life, get "left" if you don't get "right" nigga.
More to life.......More to life..
Than doing what you feel like, get "left" if you don't get "right" nigga

[Derrien - 2nd Verse]
Tryna tell my story, but nobody will listen.
They said "Derrien, give up on making rap a living."
Dragon Ball Z, tried to be strong like Broly, I was weak as Krillin.
My friends said "We got yo back, we "behind you", "INSTANT TRANSMISSION."
But when its time for war, they don't battle...
Said they had my back, turn around and see my shadow.
Lord, bless my mama, you know I hate my father.
Drowning in a pool of sorrow, tryna keep my head above water.
Lord, where would I be without you?
Please forgive me if at times I doubt you.
But Im glad I found you. 
Prayed so much I thought God couldn't hear, it made me think Heaven was soundproof.
Bruh...whether they hate or not.
In this game you Steph Curry, is you gonna take that "shot" or not?
And be in the discussion of the greats they debate in the shop?
Tryna be rap's Obama, "a nigga who made it to the top."

(Hook #1)

[Derrien-Bridge]
hell yeaaaaaaaa.....hell yeaaaaaaa

[Derrien- 3rd Verse]
Talked to Lacey the other night, cuz things been different like..
Every night we used to Skype, and I'd give her tips for life.
I gave her life tips, but cant control how she live her life.
Now the only way she gets "tips" is from that "stripper life."
In a world filled with hate, nobody showing love.
Miss those days as a kid, didn't worry about growing up.
Me and Hannah not the same..
Now all these money hungry girls want my "Christina Milians" (millions) when "Love Don't Cost A Thing."
I aint lying...
Remember not having "50 Cent" but said Ima "Get Rich or Die Trying."
Grab a jacket, good luck in stayin' warm.
Cuz it's a "Cole World", salute the homie from Fayettenam.

More To Life (ft. J. Vance) [prod. DC]

Another track produced by my boy Tizzy Beats. check out his profile here ---> https://soundcloud.com/tyzimmer

Storytelling track about a hustler's life in the streets of Bama and how everyone's love for money in the streets always leaves someone's life ending with a few bullet holes in them.
 
Produced by: Tizzy Beats
Intro vocal credits: Maurice, Eric and DeMario T.

LYRICS:

HOOK (x2): Its murder murder murder kill kill.
In the hood, man yo cap'll get peeled.
Money hungry niggas fiendin' for a mill. (meal)
They do it all for the dollar bill.

V: On my homie's side of town they'll murk you over nothing.
Hustlin' starts off fussin and cussin, then guns get to bustin.
And leave blood gushin, now the ambulance tryna rush him.
To the E.R., Five-O askin "Who did it?" but in that city they don't even answer that question.
Round his part of town, they known for destruction, and they carry tools but they don't work in construction.
Its DO OR DIE in the 205, Alabama mayne.
Goons turn to construction workers and let the hammer bang.
Could careless about whoever they spray, for that yay yay or that pay day.
Crash landing, "its going down", MAYDAY.
Bullets fly, on the ground's where they lay, its cray cray.
And bay bay, even thugs get down on they knees, and to the Lord, they pray.
They say, "Lord help me make it through the day!
Just make sure nobody bringin trouble my way.
Cuz they out waving AK's its the hood way, bumping Ice Cube wanna be able to say 'Today was a Good Day.'
Lord im sorry that I move yay, aint talked to mama in 2 days.
I know im dancing with the Devil and im pigeon toooooeeeed, but im still groov-ay.
So protect me Lord and one day, ima try to make it to church on Sunday.
But im tryin not to lose it, I guess they like "Maybach Music", they fans of that "'GUNPLAY.'"

(Hook)

V2: They out living fast and getting cash, only see the bad, where the good at?
Partna please, they got these girls on they knees, doing it for the "cheese", yea she a "hood rat."
Man things'll get obscene because of the green for that dollar bill.....they'll kill a man.
On the block with the glock cocked and they got "the Roc" but they don't listen to the Jigga Man.
Tryna paint the picture of Bama, if yeen never been to Bama before.
Yea they aint foolin, they got tools and they got that hammer like Thor. 
Its murder murder, kill kill....Do it all for the dollar bill.
Claiming they trill and they real niggas like they out picking cotton in the field.
They dropped outta school, aint no sense in learning.
When you can "play the corner" and get paid, "Richard Sherman."
No Seahawks, but they got them birds man.
Its all about the guap, EFF whatcha heard man.
Its astounding, dollar bills' all that they countin',
Took dude's guap and hit him with the glock.
Bleeding in the street, is how police found him.
Cash rules everything around him.

(Hook)

Bridge: Its murder murder murder, kill kill kill.
Its murder murder murder all for that dollar bill.
Its murder murder kill kill for that dollar bill.
Its murder murder kill kill for that dollar bill.
Its murder murder kill kill for that dollar bill.
Its murder murder kill kill for that dollar bill.
Yall lil niggas need to chill, tired of seeing all this blood getting spilled.
Tell them niggas just chill, tired of seeing all this blood getting spilled.

(Hook)


Dollar Bill (Ghetto Tales) [prod. Tizzy Beats]

"Under Pressure" 

but i like it,
the stress that i 
heap onto myself like an extra serving 
high expectations that i know I can't reach 
"shoot for the stars", yeah,
but my spaceship light up and fall back down
straight through the clouds 
that they said would catch me

but i like it,
the stress that makes my hands
shake, my heart race, my mind buzz
every smoke, every drink, every kiss
one hundred times better

and i love it,
the stress that'll crush me alive
diamond in the rough
nah, i'm just some coal 
combusting, all or nothing
to the end.
