Isolation.

Isolation. (feat. Jeesay)

NO MORE. [Remix]

NO MORE. [Remix] (Feat. Tobyson, Jermaine Kool, Leezythegifted, Ezra, Keith Da2, & Sky the Pilot)

[Chorus]
I’m looking outside, I’m making a wayy
To break from the tide, I’m pullin away
I finally forgave, mistakes that I made
I’m loving my life, there’s no other way


[Verse]
I think I just had a realization
My frame of mind is cropping out the bigger picture and it needs replacement
If I could just figure out where to hang it, 
I could show the world a mural like no other artist could have painted

Cause when you're looking through your mind banks you can find thangs
Enlightening that could make a mine quake
But we rarely take the time to think
Like I wanna see the world, who really has the time to blink?

That’s ironic cause I’ve been blind 
Looking through these empty hourglasses wishing i could bend time
It’s like I'm in a rut, I ain't giving up 
Feeling like I’ve been tryna find a diamond in the rough times

But this fool’s goal isn’t the fool’s gold
Couldn’t be content with zirconium cubicle
I’m not tryna climb the corporate ladder,
I’m tryna find the driving force behind this energy and corporeal matter

Eyes glazed I’ve been staring into space
Its so ironic you’re compelled to ask me “what’s the matter?”
But It’s all good, and only getting better
Cause when I write these words I’m really meaning every letter

And while you listen to these songs that I invented
I hope you recognize I didn't slack on a single sentence
At any time, outside the box where I reside
I try to find a frame of mind that I can ride across the line

Of good and great, in tune to fate when I arrive
Can you relate? I only fear a 9 to 5 
And you can hate, but can't deny when I supply
Cause I know I can't drop it after all the sacrifice

They think that I'm day dreaming
I ain't thinkin, That I'm just sleeping without a pillow
But really I've been breaking frames since I was little
Just then my teacher caught me staring out the window

[Chorus] 

[Bridge]
I’m saying life is really good, do what you like more
Chill vibe eat something, spark something if you feel it
I’m saying God is really good make love not war
White flag, an opinion, what for? what for?

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
Can you explain why I lied when you asked me what I wanted to be? (when I grow up)
Thought I was runnin to my future but instead I was running from me (I was running from me)
With all these things that I got, man I guess that I should feel blessed (yeah I should feel blessed)
Spent my whole life tryna get here, guess this is as good as it gets (this is as good as it gets, nah)

I don’t know man, I don’t know X2

[Verse 1]
My optimism is limited, opened my mind only to fill it with
Sentences shedding light on these life sentences
That I don’t want to realize,
But when i look in the mirror don’t love it all but at least I never fear lies

Not an invitation to pity, just an admission of feelings
That I keep bottled in like the stuff they swallow and wallow in really,
Drinks never came to my rescue
I’m just another nobody tryna be special

I think it’s funny we look down on our childhood dreams
As if we know better now, like life is so better now
Free from distractions so mediocre can happen 
Would tell you my aspirations but too afraid of your laughing

Hmm I don’t think we set the bar low enough
Play limbo with morals til status quo is up
Turn a blind eye, let’s get to the heart of this
See part of this is financial darwinist

Theory, keeping us from seeing clearly
Since 1776-
All those catastrophes done and til your salary come, you’ll say thats realistic,
That’s what had to be done, that’s why I lied to you

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
My inner child is the greatest source of my wisdom
And if I make it to adulthood you can bet that I’ll miss him
I’ll be mature and complacent, wasting my heart beat on
Making a living, that’s irony, now you make a decision

Close your eyes, see with something else
Can you can see it just as vivid as myself?
A social structure based off of happiness, not wealth
Instead of income we would be working on ourselves

The blacks and latins in prison will be attackin the system
Fuck that won’t let me be an action-less victim again,
So cringe and witness the collapse of a diseased nation
My diagnosis is I notice that we need patients

Ears still ringing, the fat lady’s singing
Slave songs, so write a tragic story to put your grave on, 
Let’s write a commitment and fail to honor it
And keep living the stories from Kurt Vonnegut

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I had a dream I was speaking to myself,
A younger version, less concerned with his mental health 
When he spoke of imbalance, my mind felt challenged
How could I accept these conditions and how they’re handled?

He asked me why the rich tend to look like Steve,
And why the bodies in the news tend to look like me
And why a quarter through my life I’ve given up my dreams
And why God blesses people to very different extremes

And it seems that all the parents be breakin up
He said that adults are only smarter at excuses they be makin up
My optimism rejuvenated, 
I see that you’re speaking the truth and if I listen to you that I can make it

People lookin’ at the surface and I want to break it
This foundation that we laid is about to cave in
And as I look at earth in the light of its decay
I couldn’t help this feeling that mistakes were made

[Ending]
If I could wake up... If I could wake up... cause I've been day dreamin
If I could wake up... If I could wake up... cause I've been sleep walkin

Mistakes Were Made (Feat. Trish Vega)

Lyrics:
(Chorus)
On the radio I hear the static
Flipping through the television all static
On the Social media it's automatic
The culture of the white noise, all backwards

White man in a black suit
White noise at the black show,
Said I'm only good for the half truth
RIP Eddie Murrow

(Verse 1)
Rapping in the study tryna get it like that
Walking in the booth then I'm spitting my facts
Most of yall don't get it nah, this shit is all bad
Nice verse homie did you even write that?

Nice work homie you should get a gold star
Most of yall bragging didn't even go far
On my Q-tip gotta hit em with the bars
Every punchline got em yelling world star

How do I tell em we don't even know stars
Looking up to who? We don't even know yall
That's why I try to tell em don't fall for an image
Spitting what I feel being real is my mission

Getting on the reel like this life is far from black and white
Got some food for thought for that appetite
Still gotta be rapping like I'm on my last breath
Got that shit to put the future in the present and the present in past tense, what's up

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Can I paint a picture? got a vision like that
Clearer than the fiction, ain’t no twistin my stats
No pistol on the premise ain’t no hilt in my pants
Rappers wanna trip then there's the Hilton, Got damn

Cause you won’t find a record when you look through my past
Unless its turnin my tables, probly changing my path
Crowd yelling preach got it feelin like mass
Homies got a humor just explaining my laugh

How many clever rhymes can you write about cash?
Feel like Mario, I’m maintaining my 'stache
Television on I see the hype
Check your phone so you don't miss the hype 

Caught in the interweb I think I'm fly
Feelin' like McCarthy made a comeback
Racism's Trump card for proof that we that ain't far above that 
The past is just a pendulum, ain't ready for the come-back

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And I dont wanna live in a 
A plastic culture, a plastic culture
I don’t wanna be another distraction, 
But they’re asking

(Verse 3)
For that Complex and that Hot New, 
Feel like its every rapper’s dream to get up on a page of XXL I got you
Actin’ extra just to get on Worldstar, shit is not new
Drama is a fetish guess I gotta lessen self respect 

To get the check, picking up the slackin and you know what's next,
I’mma follow trends til they tell me that I’m lookin’ fresh
Rappers are predictable, go ahead predict my steps
Rappers are predictable, go ahead and take a guess

What I do next too ensure that my crew next
Chains in the video, I’mma buy a foreign car
Name droppin brands, yeah, looking like a freakin star
Probly call myself a king, (nah nigga I’m a gawd)

Y’all ain’t ready for my next drop
Bombs over beats that they’re sending to my desk top
You ain’t in my lane better get off at the next stop
Did it for the dream cause they’re sleeping on me, rest up

Did it for the dream cause they’re sleeping on the best up
It ain’t really me, cause I’m feelin really blessed bruh
I’ve been ego trippin just to make you pay attention
Speakin out of character just to make em listen

Cause if I don’t use my voice I guess I’m wasting my tuition
Placed in my decision, face to face with what I hate- this breaking in the system
Wait, let me breathe
The last thing I wanna do is worry bout police

But you keep on braggin about the caliber of your piece
And now they look at you the way that they look at me
And another black boy gets gunned down innocent
And another rap song gotta gun sound in it

And these stereotypes just get more air time, isn’t it
Apparent that these rappers wanna share lives? (copy paste)
And don't it sound like our fate?
When you said represent, thought you were talking bout a race
