Hard Times

ELKING. reinterprets one of his favorite beats "Tuscan Leather" off Drake's NWTS album.

lyrics below:
currently in puerto plata playing ball in flip flops/
but anywhere i take it, its still hip hop/
the pain came to stay but i told myself that its a pitstop/
i fight it like a pitbull/ or just sip on the ciroc/
know that life is a game and its bout how you play it/
and how you gon level up if you watching other players/
you can imitate/ I’ma innovate and renovate/
penetrate the minds of innocent youth/
‘fore they’re raped by ignorant spoofs/
you spit in the booth
got the nerve to say i don’t support that shit/
but every play’s traffic/
every view helps budget their music/
every lyric spewed’s prophetically useful/
so i lift cargo on tracks if i have the room too/
you aint me/ i’m the man you can’t be/
aint bothered to be ya/ cuz I’m a magician with sounds onamanopea/
how fun is that/ son could spaz/ one two sun tzu the art of rap/
the hardest cats are artifacts/
i author facts/ you all are trash they ought to rap with the starter class/ they’re kindergardner acts 
that you stole from brad/ give em back/
students of mine so give em class, 
….sons to my style, i just give em dads
benefactors of truth and i don’t bend the facts

Verse 2:
Destined for greatness, spectate or ask for my passport/
i speak it into existence/ that’s why i got rap for/
hit the white sand shores/ cop my girl a rav 4/
loyalty and family, now what more could i ask for/
joy, sympathy/ laughter and ease/
to connect through my profession and bring about peace/
purpose higher than me/ you could never retire me/
cuz this man could die but his idea’s a deity/
this is for the love, it huey cope’s diary/
if i aint inspiring/ persist(purses) like a prize u seek/
I’m wise, unique/ i hide with sheeps/ 
take a stab at this art form/ then you might just see/
its brain stimulus/ explain sensitive/ information
pain insulin/ notes numbing the shit you facing/
arrange instruments/ with vocals destroying bass and/
insane penmanship/ that came from a hurting patience

Tuscan Leather (Drake Remix)

Like and share if you fuck with it or if you fuck with me. Much love.

Shoutout to KIP on the adlib tracks, much love broski

Lyrics:

right now I’m feeling like the man in this bitch/
i don’t understand calm cuz my plans to get rich/
if I’m quiet know I’m planning this shit
i don’t pull fakes on my bandwagon/ you dragging this/
an antagonist pacifist/ with a passion for this/
rapping/ they asking for a hits/
bat be shining i don’t give a crap if i miss/
like hovering over toilets/ this game feeling dirty don’t it/
doing donuts in my drive/ driven till day i die/
others demagogues get denied/
silly suckers sipping on my super soaker/
poster boy for the righteous i hear you just a poster/
as soon as i write this/
you get arthritis/
they getting weak and/ i came for the weekend
here for the turn ups/
a beer and the truth/ like a serjourna
word up

this is for the fans of my enemies
this is for my stans in the coupe/
if i aint fucking with your energy/
then you sure to be removed


i heard they don’t feel me/ until they do/
i try to be a nice guy but i get fooled/
talk behind my back like i don’t got ears/
fuck it/ i create masterpieces like van goh/
gossip girls aint really living inside your sanyo/
instead watch how my anger is channelled/
my girl like when I’m mad so i can’t stand yo ass/
she said once you go black boy you can’t go back/
don’t go fast girl in case i crash/
doing it my way/
getting head on a highway/
getting lit on a friday/
bro we been faded since monday/
this is part of the fengshui
pardon my function I’m always keeping it tight tho
just like my circle, expels brothers like lipo
what the snakes do at night will always come to the light tho
so when you shed your skin continue keeping it moving/
you said you’d do it for bread but you already had communion/
so if its about the union/ why you always intersecting/
with the morals of your brethren/
for a little bit of sex and/
in the face of defeat/  I’m asking for some patience 
in the face of this heat/ your temp tation/ so fuck up out my face man


this is for the fans of my enemies
this is for my stans in the coupe/
if i aint fucking with your energy/
then you sure to be removed

Really Tho

Share if you vibe with it!

Lyrics:

i just want the three of y’all
i just want the three of y’all
in a perfect world
i would have the three of y’all
in a perfect world x2

money where my mouth is/ actions by my wallet/
you’re actually not about this/
they call me counterfeit/
cuz i don’t entertain your show bro I’m out of it/
you been lacking soul and youre proud of it/
your songs sound like youre chilling/
lyrics as numbing as your feelings/
want to uplift the children without having them make millions/
look into my eyes in the purest form you see wisdom/

i just want the three of y’all
i just want the three of y’all
in a perfect world
i would have the three of y’all
in a perfect world x2

dreams under shade/ shone a light on the grave/
the factory of slaves where they tell you to behave/
where they show you can be great/
but destroy those they praise/
standing poised though we straight/
all five of us will lay here forever and day/
so stay clear/ got a compass to where legends will be made
with this heaven i create/ aura severing the snakes/
i was raised here/ but here won’t determine how i race/
so I’m lacing up kicks/ apocalypse on the horizon/
so I’m getting my time in/ 

i just want the three of y’all
i just want the three of y’all
in a perfect world
i would have the three of y’all
in a perfect world x2

This is soul infinite. Like and Share if you vibe. Bump if you enjoy.

Lyrics:

this is soul infinite/ reaching far beyond my known limits and/
dispose ignorance/ bowling for hits/ oh/ is it three strikes when strike be good/
but what i write go on strike if lighting could/
hit twice in my tiny hood/
live twice/ wish i could/
so there’s urgency now/ your words did hurt me but, smile/
I’m not the thirstier child/ i bring truth where the droughts at/
sing on stoops/ or breeze thru on the outback/
this is safari style/
wilding on loops/
some bars are fruity too/
i got stars for the well behaved/
might as well shine, since you stayed a slave/
talking softly like you been repaid/
fight for my stay/ don’t fight for the state/
you fight to be brave, i fight to be safe/
there’s a difference/ I’m on a mission/
it aint impossible/ no wasting time cuz lucky timing is unprobable/

x2
i groove to it/ dancing, doing my two step
I’m here right now, so i aint worried about who’s next/
cuz if i do good today/ i make room today/

doing yoga tryna stretch my bread/
every morning stressed in bed/ cuz when you’re focused friendships ends/
survival got me left 4 dead/ am i zombie or a robot on auto pilot?/ intelligence fake/ cuz i don’t debate/
or make time for conversation/
silly things in life got me anxious/
far from anything dangerous/
but where I’m aiming / people retaliate when they're hating/
so you fall close to their plain/
let me explain/ with this much to lose/
i won’t take it in vain/
like you substance abusers just take a hit of this music/
see when i feel like I’m losing/ i take my L and keep moving/
playing the bench til you can take the offense/
human code the new control/
only god can shoot me soul/ but he won’t
so if you're here to judge i’d rather walk alone down this road/
and if the path that i wrote manifest in these rhymes/
may i grow more loving, may i have care in my mind/
may i care less about time/ may i share my lifeline with all those who are dying/
may i be at peace with all the things i can’t reach/
may i give a fuck less ‘bout what you’re thinking of me/
may my comfort be secured/ by a soul that’s rich and pure/
may negatives go ignored, positivity on board/
may those with beautiful sounds have that power to record/
and sound waves be a power source/ reaching people at war/
contribute my intelligence so that you may be cured/
from the greed that plagues this beast/ so that the future may be yours
every day with these affirmations/ til i am locked in/
assisting the good people/ call me john stockton/
shape sound til it loves me you can hate now/ im space bound

[Verse]
I think they want me dead
But I ain't felt alive a minute, so
Is it what I said?
Am I bringing you down 'cause I'm cynical?
You say I’m in my head (shit)
The universe inside’s what I’m living for
So now it’s bye to the present, though
Nobody got time, bro' they getting dough
Watch the sunrise in my bed
I'm still feeling alone, but I’m getting old
So I grab my clothes, then I hit the road
'Though I lost my motivation, I'ma be the man that you get to know

[Chorus]
Me
Get to know me, get to know me
Get to know me, get to know me
Get to know me, get to know me

Get 2 Know Me ft jerbaer

Week 13 is filled with vibes ~ Thank you to those who always tune in to listen, hope the music moves you

[Verse 1]
I’m showing love there’s no doubt that it’s needed
We’ve been placed on earth with no reason
So killings in season
What people will do for eating and just to survive
Is really rooted from a fear in their eyes
Victims of circumstances
Broken by the man in the skies
Its wrote by design, their plans to connive
I scan horizons, standing up to a rise
Cuz how you deal with strangers angry as i
Gripping the steel, straddling with pride
But I’m only here once, so i fill it with life
Those I’ve hurt, forgot, or pushed to the side
May you find your path and ride it high alongside of mine
I wasn’t tryna throw shade, was only brightening mine
In search of happiness, that means we only broken inside
That’s cool, but this your moment to shine!
This is an omen homie, this placement is god given
This is god working, so i’ll contribute to y’all vision until y’all get it

[Verse 2]
So why’s integrity so deep in my mind?
Cuz it’s the key to my soul
And i reach for divine
Intuition, for some peace in the globe
It’s unfair, crying tears since 3ish years old
Taught my father how to walk when i yelled back
Afraid to make mistakes, in fear of asking for help his growth was always held back
And i understand now, our journey’s the best professor
So i promise when I lecture im learning with you
If growth is success this experience working for YOU
Vulnerable by the corner store
A tylenol for the pain hoping i don’t overdose
Can i get a condom and a butter roll
Man these the stories that the summer wrote
Minus the violence and the dying
The tale of lost children being shipped off to an island
Hope they invest or buying in rosetta stone
Til they exposed to languages, and leave that microwaved bread alone

Fears (Gone)

Smooth like dish soap
Yeah we groove like a disco but
I been hoping that my disc blows up
So we’ll party till my shits old
Cuz you know how my clique roll
When did we get so grown up
Worrying bout bills, so what
I just want my wrist gold
Yeah you know I’m so wishful
But i ain't here for biz hold up
Tryna get lit, pour up
Get drunk till i let go
Cuz my mind need peace, show love
And i like the way your hips go up
So do you want to risk yo luck
Lets go home when this shit closed

Sorry i been quiet I’m better with one on ones
And we connect just as well when we grinding to the drums
Hookah smoke got our judgement cloudy, let’s see the sun
Vibe thru this happy hour, and actually leave with some

Yeah and you got what i need
I got what u want
Baby what it be
Nothing’s guaranteed
This the place to be
Its just you and me

U Got What I Need

Spreading peace and positivity with this one
Grateful
Thankful

[Chorus]
Never alone, yeah, yeah, i always had help

[Verse 1]
First i will thank my friends, then also thank my fam some
I’d like to thank god for making me so handsome
Thankfully i have a pair of lungs to breath amazing air
With prayer i will make it out the jungle, not like H & M
Yeah im the coolest monkey, i know i’m entertaining
That’s just the world we raised in
If it dont make you laugh i gotta turn and shake my ass
To reach a center page and
But this mannequin challenge never been a friend of faking
Regardless i thank god for life again
My mom for being so like me and like my friend
Thank you for understanding
Thank you for being placed to next to me on this big ass planet
Grateful to know you, grateful to show you

[Chorus]
Never alone, yeah, yeah, i always had help

[Verse 2]
I always had a prayer
I always had a beach
I always had a savior
Who taught me just how to be
I found it in God, i found it in you
You were inhaling my troubles and you were proud of it to
I was clouded by judgement, you’re just surrounded by truth
So im sorry if i wasn’t the counterpart for your moves
But i tried to reciprocate in the simplest way
Like you can talk to me on your sickest days
Its cool all i seen was wickedness, and how its arranged
Sorry if i seemed deranged but
I lift it all off my shoulders with hopes to be angel
This is not a deeper angle
If you accept all of me and my honesty
Then i promise i’ll ride alongside you through this odyssey

[Chorus 2]
Cuz you’re never alone yeah yeah you’ll always have help

Lyrics available on Genius

You'll Always Have Help

Wavy track for the wavy listeners, stay wavy fuckersz

[Chorus One]
Ride with me
Ride with me

[Verse One]
Silent as this, I'm just a kid
Ride in my whip, rhyming to hits
Trying to fit in with my clique
But I am legit I will not mix
Liquor on my left, jokers on my set, but
Time is money as long as I have my debt
Just have a bit of sex so this stressing can leave your chest
But these demons got me at gunpoint until I 'fess up
Fuck pride and relationships that's my best luck
My vulnerability will pave the way for my successors
So look at what success does
Read all about it like, extra
They want to X me like professor

[Chorus Two]
So ride with me, yo
Just ride with me, yo (whoa, whoa, whoa)
It's simple, ride with me, yo
Ride with me
Ride with me, whoa (ha ha, ha, ha ha)
Ride with me, yo (whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa)
Ride me with, yo
Ride me with, ride, ride with me
(J-j-just ride with me)

[Verse Two]
I want to hit the bank, deposit all my chips, got a
Therapist to thank for granting that assist. My
Fam' and friends who still found diamonds in my shit, and
Pardon all the goddesses I harmed in my offense. Look
I was just trying to my find me
As I over-analyze my scenes, tryna be prepared
So I saw the world in high beams, but I been misguided on
What all these signs mean so I'm signing off
I'll take my loss if you think I'm a con at all
I'ma fight with kindness thru all kind of odds
Romantic connoisseur, desire a taste for finer things
I only take my wine with vagina strings
And I ain't hit it yet so you ain't gotta sing, baby
My dotted line is loving eyes, and vibe of dreams, I'm tryna lie beside a queen
Ironic, ELKING from Kingsbridge will kneel for you
I'll be real for you, you showed me happiness, for that I will spoil

[Chorus Three]
For that I will spoil
So essential to my life that you drip oil
This man will never be disloyal, this for you
This song, this wave, this all you, joy

Joy (so Essential)

its been a minute since i touched this mic,
been retreating from my vices, what your crutches like?
my advice fuck these other guys,
they aint in your shoes
they don’t own your soul,
these soles are made for walks when you a bit confused
if im a different dude, it’s part of the game plan
nothing ever changed when i tried to stay the same man
i was tryna play ball, they was tryna weigh grams,
i tried to reach the base safe, they freebased during home stands
my goal’s she can stay home, unless she wanna make bands
fuck it- we’ll both own homes, bathe in acres like play land
the missions getting that dough, community centers inside of castles
for star gazing, projecting, like astro, 
incentivize giving back but not being bashful
so i arm an army, then start a war
equip em with skills, send my children to harvard law
when you feel the first swing know that we harbor more
we gon end this shit how it started off
america’s been gassed, so light the molotov
fuck if the russians did it,
cuz haiti did it, ima shady citizen,
hope they shaking in their pants
we must be fucking stupid thinking karma dont exist
invaded iraq, but we mass destructing gaza strip
the bullies get bullied, so remember what time it is
ELKING. ruling empires with timelessness

Games We Play (Freestyle)

[ELKING.]
Far from immortal but write my name on a stone
This pro talk, Protons, charged up in the globe
I’m Heartless and I’m cold
Cuz that’s the way the world made me
So Talk to my voicemail when I blow

[ERIC FLAIR]
I said i think therefore i am
Hitting shit out the park like i hit a grand slam
its the 8th, sticky situation but i get out the jam
And for the cheese im really bout to go ham

[ELKING.]
Before I bear fruit gotta dig for truth
But the core‘s too deep, I can’t dismantle all the roots
So I plant sweet seeds, I’ll show you what honey do
And exorcise my demons, don’t ask where they running to

[ERIC FLAIR]
Im jus giving the people mad satisfaction
I dont need no petty little distractions
vxlgvr sqxvd we the most dominant faction
Work for what i want is the law of attraction

[SAMPLE]

[ELKING.]
when you go hard as us, man the hate come
But I don’t say nun’
I just face front,
Focus in tact like a lace front
they want blood?
I’ll bleed when smiling makes me ache from gums

[ERIC FLAIR]
Work for what u want and u gonna get it 
Dont slack or u gonna regret it
Dont take my word is univers thst sed it
Moon and stars passed that is where im headed

[ELKING.]
Past the stars like a quasar,
me and Bruce Lee had a faceoff
Winner take all,
say I loss, but that’s what shapes us
I embrace flaws, this my take off,
Self made plus I made y’all,

[ERIC FLAIR]
Call me the king im too good for all you pawns
I can never die in ur dreams is where ill spawn
You gon pay the price is a no for then coupons
And u gon need a million sparks to turn u on

[SAMPLE]

[ELKING.]
I gotta think I’m the best if im gonna kick it dog
Like mixing black and white liquor I don’t fit with y’all
when I’m sick to my stomach I go a minute more
Little off in the head, but that’s what makes me spit it raw

[ERIC FLAIR]
Lucid thouhhts every where i go
Theres a net every where for my goals
Ask johnny no attention for these ho’s
And im G thats I never a joe

[ELKING.]
If I’m a Average joe, fuck it i live it good bro
Natures exponential functions how I should grow
Pushing my genes, in the image of divinity
So what’s the limit as x approaches infinity?

[ERIC FLAIR]
And i been spit flames how can i not
Searching for a rainbow i like gold im finding pot
Names not dwyane but u kno jus how  i rock
Imma show the motherfuckers i spit harder the a glock

I Am ft. ERIC FLAIR
