On The Inside [Demo]

Yo, searching for the perfect match, strike, I hit a flame,
On them dating sites, I swipe, like, here we go again,
Feel my pain, as I go through so many Loraines,
I be up on they page, swiping on faces, nigga I'm going insane.

I desire love, not one from the bottle of a drug,
Labeled use as instructed, prescriptions from a doctor,
Bitch don’t kill my vibe, you killed my buzz,
I liked it as it was, I use her to quench my thirst.

Thought like the previous, you’d always be there for me,
But I was living in a dream, counting sheep,
Bad purchase, babe I keep receipts,
And them slime, girl, I keep it P, keep it G.
Keep one hundo, we was trapping outta one condo,
Fire seized, got you laughing with them chiefs,


It was raining, I was training out them apartments,
Fire blazing, sun was gazing at them partners.
Keep a hundred thousand in pockets like a trouser,
Used to be a browser, but now I’m an arouser,
When I was going through Houston blues,
Who knew, that you even had a clue.

Choose: is it me or you,
Deuce: I’ll see you in a few,
Deep discussions over smoke, never choke on my words,
Rushing over jokes, I just hope that you ain’t for them curbs.
Like the nerve, judging me, I used to serve,
When there was purge, most my niggas used to surge,

Ganja burning, tables turning, you was learning,
Earning to be my darling, the gears steady churning.
I’ll see you in the morning, darling, rise before the sun started,
I’ll keep you entertained, that’s why I’m always charting,
Keeping things handled, even through the Pope scandal,

Yo, searching for the perfect match, strike, I hit a flame,
On them dating sites, I swipe, like, here we go again,
Feel my pain, as I go through so many Loraines,
I be up on they page, swiping on faces, nigga I'm going insane.

I desire love, not one from the bottle of a drug,
Labeled use as instructed, prescriptions from a doctor,
Bitch don’t kill my vibe, you killed my buzz,

Fire blazing, sun was gazing at them partners.
Keep a hundred thousand in pockets like a trouser,
Used to be a browser, but now I’m an arouser,

Style Rare [Demo]

Yo, I will always love you, that's just the way I do,
On the grand stage, baby, boy gon' say "I do."
For your heart, I'm the greatest fool,
But I did great in school, just playin' it cool.

Baby, come ride with me, can never be bad news,
Long time, gon' give you that pipe cruise.
Oh now you wanna wear the man’s jewels,
I'm the weather man: pools, keepin' it true,

Pulled you in closer, added you to the roster,
The boaster is me, Extensions gotta Holster
Jollof ain’t free, but you know I got the spice,
Sweet prayer for our growth, ain’t that nice?

Prada bae, showin' off them heavy jeans,
Been in love with you since I was seventeen.
When we was young, trailblazin’ on the evergreen,
Back then, we had it all, livin’ the dream.

Yo, I will always love you, that's just the way I do,
On the grand stage, baby, boy gon' say "I do."
For your heart, I'm the greatest fool,
But I did great in school, just playin' it cool.

Baby, come ride with me, can never be bad news,
Long time, gon' give you that pipe cruise.
Oh now you wanna wear the man’s jewels,
I'm the weather man: pools, keepin' it true,

Table set, feast laid out for you,
I told you I'd drop Jayda if you want me to.
Both of us, that's a great W,
This may trouble you, but it’s what I do.

If I never say "I do" again, we started off as friends,
Recess in the ends, BMX before the Benz.
These days when I see you, gotta wipe my Cartier lens,
In a party full of friends, yeah, I scream that's my wifey,
[Glory be to God, how you shine so brightly.]

Yo, I will always love you, that's just the way I do,
On the grand stage, baby, boy gon' say "I do."
For your heart, I'm the greatest fool,
But I did great in school, just playin' it cool.

Baby, come ride with me, can never be bad news,
Long time, gon' give you that pipe cruise.
Oh now you wanna wear the man’s jewels,
I'm the weather man: pools, keepin' it true,

On principle, I would die for you, crucible,
That skin-tight dress, girl, it’s so suitable.
I’m right there when you need me, no cap,
Real talk, you ain't gotta lift a finger, just snap.

Buy you a Birkin, baby, no CC,
Got capital like DC, livin' wealthy.
When I say "you," I’m like Jesu,
Dropped the cane, knew I was able to
Put that five-star course on the table,
[True love, ain’t no fable, we stable.]

Yo, I will always love you, that's just the way I do,
On the grand stage, baby, boy gon' say "I do."
For your heart, I'm the greatest fool,
But I did great in school, just playin' it cool.

Baby, come ride with me, can never be bad news,
Long time, gon' give you that pipe cruise.
Oh now you wanna wear the man’s jewels,
I'm the weather man: pools, keepin' it true,


Us Against The World [Demo]

Yo, can we talk about me and you?
I’ve been trying to get through to you,
Hope this one sticks like superglue,
High heels clickin’ in your Hollywood views.

So now you got them Hollywood views,
Baby, say my name like a supergroup,
This one complex, a work of art,
Van Gogh, Picasso, or even Mozart.

You held most of my heart, now we due to depart,
Should’ve called it off from the start,
Yeah, I should’ve played it smart,
Been knockin’ at your door, but you won’t let me in.

You won’t let me win, but I was never wicked,
Left me restricted, a cog in the system,
Apply wisdom, let me sin,
Now I’m a lost lone ship caught in the wind.

Like, baby, where do I begin?
You chef-curried me to the bin,
Late nights with Milano and the gin,
Oh, you thought I wouldn’t see?

This relationship ain’t a place I wanna be,
Painted me with them broad strokes, here we go again,
Can’t relive the pain, damn baby girl, I’m goin’ insane,
Relationship or a train, who was I to complain?

When you had the cereal coated with sugarcane,
But now it’s all fractured, sugar-coated glass,
Should’ve trusted my first departure, but I gave it a pass,
This a disaster, baby, can’t you see?

Best things for us to do now is just leave,
On the canvas, bare, you were ready,
Hold this cannon steady, we ready to shoot,
But your sweet sister didn’t suit.

Now you both nude with nothin’ to do,
You broke all the rules, damn, I was the fool,
Finding all the prints without any clues,
Who knew? That you would up and move.

Try to make me lose, girl, it’s all a snooze,
Cuz I’m done playin’ games, kickin’ out the blues,
Yeah, can we talk about me and you?
I’ve been tryin’ to get through, that’s the truest cue.

Yo, can we talk about me and you?
I’ve been trying to get through to you,
Hope this one sticks like superglue,
High heels clickin’ in your Hollywood views.

So now you got them Hollywood views,
Baby, say my name like a supergroup,
This one complex, a work of art,
Van Gogh, Picasso, or even Mozart.

Dear Jean, its no Surprise i fell for a queen 
Dear Jean, its no Surprise, i fell for your Eyes
Been in love you with Since Eighteen
Fell harder than it may Seem

You know i hate saying Goodbye

Orange Soda [Demo]

Yo, you’re all I ever needed, all I ever wanted,
Had you by my side, but now I feel haunted.
I had you, but I lost you, karma’s deceiving,
Ain't grieving 'cause you're still alive, I'm still believing.

Father figure, something special, something sacred,
Lost in the smoke, man, I feel forsaken.
Love in my heart, ain’t no room for no hatred,
But now this bond, it’s been faded.

Same color eyes, I know you’re proud somewhere,
Could you shed one tear, or are you content,
Up left, then went, deep down, want you to repent,
Moments we spent, now they’re gone, like a bad scent.

Yo, you’re all I ever needed, all I ever wanted,
Had you close, now my heart’s just haunted.
I had you, but I lost you, where’s the sense in that?
Thoughts of you echo, like a ghost in my flat.

Yo, you’re all I ever needed, all I ever wanted,
Had you by my side, but now I’m haunted.
I had you, but I lost you, karma’s deceiving,
Ain't grieving 'cause you're still alive, I'm still believing.

Father figure, something special, something sacred,
Lost in the smoke, man, now I feel forsaken.
Love in my heart, ain’t no room for no hatred,
But now this bond, it’s been faded.

I’m older now, learned that shit don’t last,
Your leadership’s a treasure, now it’s buried in the past.
Heavy heart, heavy hand, you stayed protective,
But who elected to leave? That was your directive.

You were there from the start, now it’s a different end,
Father, preacher, you were even a friend.
Can’t lie, I’m distraught, can’t pretend,
Fighting with these feelings, man, I just can’t bend.

Yo, you’re all I ever needed, all I ever wanted,
Had you by my side, but now I feel haunted.
I had you, but I lost you, karma’s deceiving,
Ain't grieving 'cause you're still alive, I'm still believing.

Father figure, something special, something sacred,
Lost in the smoke, man, I feel forsaken.
Love in my heart, ain’t no room for no hatred,
But now this bond, it’s been faded.
