I made a play today
I told myself to get out the way
I told myself there’s more you could take
I told myself that hell is a faith
I made a play today
I told myself there’s ways you could shine
I watch myself change coal into dimes
I saw myself take form into light.
Today
Today
Today.
I made 

Lucky 7s
Imma roll with this progress
Ain’t never stressing, used to pawn off the diamonds
Remember feeling how my stomach tighten when hearing thunder
Now I carry the lightning
Ain’t never wondered how they had more than me
I was never focused, I was scared to speak
Mumbling, fumbling bags
Too focused on internal jabs
Looking at mirrors and playing out motions I had
The dreams that I left on the bed
I had to wake up and chase it through pain and the sweat
No time to give time to regrets
I know you look for me inside an app
But these visions I kept ain’t real till I step
Outside the box and plot on what’s next
Ancestors in me, they work through the flesh
Dividing the keys and giving it back
Dividing the seas she bending her back
Divine in the flesh
Defining the best
Designing an ark/art
I gotta protect
I can’t not forget

Where I came from
Where my pain’s from
Every mistake
Every new loss
Made me press forward
So

I made a play today
I told myself to get out the way
I told myself there’s more you could take
I told myself that hell is a faith
I made a play today
I told myself there’s ways you could shine
I watch myself change coal into dimes
I saw myself take form into light.

Want people round me who can’t wait for a blessing
I do not listen to a risk or projection
I got a feeling that this wrist is connected to high powers pulling strings I’m the vessel
I had separate
Had to find myself to make a better play
I see the better days coming
I’m running ahead
What will we have when we dead?
Is it for love, influence, wealth
Is it for pussy, power or the bread
I got some ideas on the shelf
I got some text messages on read
I had to separate myself from the bullshit
For a new pledge
If I don’t branch out right now, might as well hang me for the dead
And that’s facts.


You better learn how to live
Nothing is promise without taking losses
I learned how to follow the risk
Remember the prayers I sent to the altar
But I put in all the work
Now my powers rests inside this shirt
In control of the path that was cursed
Feel like God when I show you my worth

Building blessings that follow my kids
Send a message then teach em to lift
This a scripture I wrote on a script
This halo I left on a hit
This a diamond inside of a coal mine
Ain’t no more need for a co-sign
Making plays so hit up my phone line
Down the street so
**********

Play Today

The difference by real love and fake love is that real love will suffer through the pain because in the end it overcomes any adversity, while fake love doesn't want to grow and enjoys comfortability. Fake love cowers in the face of adversity. When those two meet then hearts get broken.

Real Love prod. by (juno)

I can see it all with these wings
I can see my flaws with these wings
I know I came far with the wings
And I’mma find more with these wings

Sometimes I lean back
Thinking bout times when colder shoulders were huddled up
See due to that friction wasn’t a need to get bundled up
When the heat from the summer rushed in 
the actions of hearts thrusted 
the swords from the jealous touching
on wings that I always tucked in
Turned into shadows running for places on top of comets
Every day feeling like we been losing an inch of logic
Half of the things that I used to do, I ain’t even interested in
Sometimes I just play pretend to keep memories where they at
If I change, then those things become figments left in the past
If I aim, I could bang and hit the goals that we had
We too comfortable with it
No need for specifics
Just think about it
How many times
Did you find an idea and
Left it dying?
How many times are you ready to fall til you give up trying?
Is it all destiny in your actions or a choices that you make happen
Before your timing is up
Before you return to dust
Just lemme know.


Sometimes I learn forward 
Thinking bout how my future could be
I’ve been think bout all the times I had legacies within reach
Competing with myself
Knowing the best version of me
Is between horizons of clouds and between the chops of the sea
Between the chops of the beat 
I know there’s more within reach
It’s either work 9 to 5 or materializing a dream
Either satisfy your life or you seeking more every day
I need M and Ms
I mean look at this chocolate skin that we praise 
I found love again
In a place that never thought I’d attain
I found faith within
That I praise
They say Jesus Walks
But I ran
I found company in myself
I put heart online to expand

The Fire Under Sun
That I hold with these open hands
Spreading wings over ceilings they tried to keep me within

Now it’s Wings up, cuz they’ll  never keep me down

I said wings up if they’ll  never keep you down
I said wings up

wings up

wings up

wings up…


I can see it all with these wings
I can see my flaws with these wings
I know I came far with the wings
And I’mma find more with these wings.

Wings Up

Been There Done That

Back It Up And Hold It Down

Lately scared of my demons,
Lately scared of your reasons,
Lately scared of the elephant that we say we ain’t seeing,
Lately scared means you killed, so I act like I’m never bleeding,
People scared to stand up cause they head might bust through the ceiling,
They say life is a woman who came with rumors of cheating,
Finally got up the confidence just to ask what her passion is,

Looked me in the eyes and said niggas who’s on the edge of the mirror,
When you got nothing to lose, everything becomes dinner,
When everything is on the line, you ain’t sensing the difference,
And I’m a fiend now, I need no feline to freak out, I put a freestyle on a free beat and wile out, with my hombres and my boobae like yaya,
Need the progress, I need the knowledge like right now,
I’m on the campus, I’m in the college like right now,
I got the questions, I need the answers like right now,sensing fear now, they aiming at me like pow pow

Lately scared of your demons,
Lately scared of my reasons,
Lately scared of the elephant that we say we ain’t seeing,
Call me Professor Paul, I’ve been researching the mind,
Deep diving our choices,
Till rhyme reason collide,
GA State should hire me I got thoughts to write,
Like what makes a nigga pull a gun on a school,
Or what makes a coward give his queen to the wolves,
Or what makes a terrorist believe in their truth,

It’s 2019, all I want’s some closure in these high beams,
I got too many questions for me to be sleeping nicely,
Nightline nightly,
Fox 5,
Channel 2,
Fist keep tightening,
Flinching at the shadows,
Got then barking at the cattle,
With a gavel in hand,
But it’s keep ya head high and keep ya eyes low,
Looking down on this world from my plateau
But it’s keep ya head high and keep ya eyes low,
Looking down on this world from my plateau baby

So Watch yourself,
Check yourself,
Make sure you’re safe,
Protect yourself

Professor Paul
