Me and the homie Stephen McCory were playing chess on New Years 2021. We wrote to this beat too. Big ideas exchanged during that session, and one of them was being 3 feet away from gold right before you quit. So, don't quit.

Lyrics:

I travel through different mental states
I paid the toll
I get high but favor lows
Cuz when I’m down I set heights to reach that I don’t go below 
Low and behold 
Before you quit you three feet away gold
So when the ball dropped I was home while they invest 
In cheap thrills and naked flesh 
What I’m bout to say next is not a metaphor 
I was playing chess 
Moving a rook 
With McCorry tellin stories how I sink my teeth in life 
You can chew on a book 
And give props to the chef 
Until you cook the meat ya self 
You in cahoots with a crook
If it’s a thin line don’t try to make the border bend 
Pick a hill to die on and stay till the lord ascend 
Swinging swords so blind before the pen 
Seek truth
Confirmation bias is for mortal men
Take note of how you really feel
(Yeah)
To be God you gotta notice yo Achilles heel
That’s called self awareness 
I see ya reinvent the wheel 
I’m trying to melt the Ferris
No Bueller 
Cuz When you lack knowledge 
You probly felt embarrassed 
Can’t compare us 
Cuz you treat yo cards, like a tarot

3 Feet Away From Gold

Lyric Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJk8BwsGrdU

Lotta fun recording and getting the pieces together for this joint. V. Soul came through, and I got my homies Sam Luna and Kaj Althaus to add guitar to this track.

This was supposed to drop in July but you know how shit go. Hope y'all keep bumping this until summer come back around. Love.

Whiskey Mango

Whiskey Mango (feat. V. Soul Entertainment) [LYRIC VIDEO IN DESCRIPTION]

Lyrics:

No chip off the block parents born off the map
Quick trip for pipe dreams now I'm serving 'em nouns
My product ain't pop what I'm pushing is crack
Gotta pitch to the right feen so that word get around

Looking for a hit to make the block flock with feens
Cut prices out the question, plot and scheme and watch the scene
On my own hustle I don't need a rotten team
Hunger forced doing stupid shit like Aqua Teen

Yeah, that's all metaphor for music
My mission got a magnitude of desert storm in Munich
The doctor's advocate I can't perform in units
Circle tight and more secluded what I do is not the norm for students

Reincarnation from legends beyond the grave
Bound by chains 9 to 5 designed for slaves
Changed the method like John Blaze, bomb the stage
Say namaste, paid homage now the homage paid

Don't take orders, boss mode what I stay in
Lost the fight once you got the weigh in
Going overboard, the shots a lay-in
I move like boats that brought the yae in

Lotta weight at first now the loads lighter
Drop down bounce back like low riders
Ain't tricking but I'm globetrotting
If ain't got it somebody I know got it

I oughta feel pompously
You ask why why not my response will be
I sharpen steel constantly
You can't neglect the sword even when the pen is mighty
All aboard, I'm bout to be in Venice nightly

Y'all pump faking calling rebook I just do it, type to send for nike
Won't defend my psyche, that's a mind for winners
Overcome hurdles to eat, y'all seated but I got a fence I climb for dinner

Mr. Feeney, a boy when the world met me
Now this man in the mix like I swirl nestle
Ya girl let me ain't the cat to coerce her
I split and made a acquisition after the merger

All they seen was a blur when they captured the murder
Red and yellow lights that's Barry or Wally West
Ahead of all ya sleights I parry with all finesse
That's skill strictly, rock handles pill prickly
Atlanta had 'em hooked props ran to Lil Dicky

Don't take orders, boss mode what I stay in
Lost the fight once you got the weigh in
Going overboard, the shots a lay-in
I move like boats that brought the yae in

Lotta weight at first now the loads lighter
Drop down bounce back like low riders
Ain't tricking but I'm globetrotting
If ain't got it somebody I know got it

Started from the bottom unlock the top slowly
System more crooked than cops who rock rollies
They laugh cuz it look like I'm fighting for scraps
I'm the type to adapt and outfox the coyote

Hype to be the best so I hid from the crowd
To get this style, in a space others kids ain't allowed
Assimilated myself back into the party
Feel like I took a big step and I missed the morale

Word to K Dot, I take a long hiatus
In lieu of money love is equity that's why they hate us
Made from a mold of specialist, below the precipice
Approach a apex abiding by a code of excellence

The style comparer
Could be never be the Aloe Vera
Rick got Slick cuz he learned through trial and error
Through the fire like Denzel and wire like Ye
The band is back let the violin play

Don't take orders, boss mode what I stay in
Lost the fight once you got the weigh in
Going overboard, the shots a lay-in
I move like boats that brought the yae in

Lotta weight at first now the loads lighter
Drop down bounce back like low riders
Ain't tricking but I'm globetrotting
If ain't got it somebody I know got it

The Weigh In

The Weigh In [produced By Momo Ward]

Ask what's good and I'll say I'm down but it's looking up.

I like how this song makes me feel because at the end of the day my future bright. Currently cloudy with 100% chance of clear skies later type shit.

[Lyrics]

My dad wicked, pop should be more righteous
I feel most free locked in my core vices
A ten dollar bottle I pop don't pour ice in
I ain't gon' ski if ya product got poor pricing

My ma still love me a doctor be more like it
If rap don't work, I'll stop in New York Rikers
Admit to crime that I ain't commit
Cuz I deserve to be in jail if I ain't the shit

Officially my declaration misery is medication
I want happiness and history for generations
Introduced since a youth had a revelation
I'm living proof, of six degrees of separation

No apprenticeship, groomed by my losses
Room full of bosses, inhale fume from sauces
I'm taking notes regardless for the sake of soaking game
Haters gon' complain, don't conflate ya local fame nigga

The weatherman said its gon' rain today
I try make one when there ain't a way
A ten day how I came to play
You first class I board last the train stop we got the same delay

I'm down but its looking up
It's cool cuz I'm good enough
It's cool cuz I'm good enough
Don't listen when they say what you shouldn't touch

I had my first drink at thirteen, lit a cig
Ma cried in front of me from shit I did
I never did a bid she would die from shock if so
Reek of weed, smell of vodka mo'

Calm before the storm when it hit no power
I spit a 16 and believe ya whole block will glow
Ya soap opera show, I'm drama free
Ski slopes lots of coke do a line for me

Waiting for a sign like dogs who lost they owner
More hostile than hotels in Barcelona
No replacement or transplant for my type of blood
Cuz it's mixed with the sweat and the tears

Stuck between controlling fate or just letting it steer
Still looking back what's the point of checking the rear
I rarely get a yes when I ask people
I move in silence making bigger moves than Max Keeble

The weatherman said its gon' rain today
I try make one when there ain't a way
A ten day how I came to play
You first class I board last the train stop we got the same delay

I'm down but its looking up
It's cool cuz I'm good enough
It's cool cuz I'm good enough
Don't listen when they say what you shouldn't touch

Jet Life Music 

[Lyrics]

Booked a flight to the Florida keys
No packed clothes I'm short of tees
Four day trip I don't need more than three
Why shop accordingly I can afford a spree

Push to start disregard car keys
Pleased by palm tress
Front desk informed me of amenities without fees
Use the resort breeze to ash cigar leaves

10k steps a day I'm cooked
Let's see how the neighborhood look
Park the car illegally and stepped away on foot
Being black means I'm cosplaying a crook

Make an advance, connect to locals
Tapered pants, dress loafers
I look famous but let's focus
Ya walls closed I know what could get 'em open

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Pop something else left unchecked
Hit the bars hard like funk flex

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Missed calls, drunk texts
Late check out request, front desk

Flew to Texas South by Southwest
Second time round I sent out texts
It's best they know to expect you
Notified homies made sure my connects knew

Uber eats liquor, ordering fresh food
At the Air BNB doing a check through
Take whatever room y'all wanna keep
I'm living the dream, I ain't going to sleep

Hit the road in a jeep
Got fitted for a cowboy hat, took a flick and the pose elite
At the half step, noticed in record speed
I dap the bartender embraced Bethany

Hit the bar, a lot of liq to sip
I saw Clear Soul, started politicking quick
Triple digit über, or whip the bitch
Who call quits, cancel my lift

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Pop something else left unchecked
Hit the bars hard like funk flex

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Missed calls, drunk texts
Late check out request, front desk

Good anywhere I go
Look high, swear I'm low
Said they ain't see caught staring hard
They don't care about merit in America

Back home, my bread low
Give a fuck had the best time
Crack that Modelo
Live it up in the meantime

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Pop something else left unchecked
Hit the bars hard like funk flex

Poolside, a view of the sunset
Champagne pop, blunts next
Missed calls, drunk texts
Late check out request, front desk

Jacuzzi Loafers

Jacuzzi Loafers [prod. by Momo Ward]

[LYRICS]

My pockets aim to get fat don’t talk game I act 
Rock a stage for a rack posture change when I rap
Shockwave on the map shots aimed at my back
My block game Shaq like cops raided my flat 

Swat attempts to get me ride bench initially
Priorities in order itemize quickly
Slide round to Nipsey 5 buck shades hide sky tint me 
Surprised eyes idolize Balenci 

Wrist game Pluto, Pyrex pot
Visible in the kitchen the whip game pseudo
A doctor know medicine not no flow veteran 
A Wing Chun master get trained in judo
Without blue flame can’t kick like Lui Kang 
Basically what I’m saying to explain is futile

Got it or don’t part of life simply destiny
And won’t come out right perfectly with the recipe 
The best shooters make shots gotta miss eventually
Caged bird say word lettin’ ‘em fly

Casualties Of An Ice Chain

#4 (prod. by Trappola)

Laid back lean, Philly feen tryn' move 
Bump the 8-track machine Billy Jean kind tune 
Ya girl been too I whirlwind through
Leave messes like silly teens cleaned y'all room 

Philippine typhoon steadily elevate categories 
Subtract the negative don't add it for me 
Y'all too repetitive it's sad and corny I be out the way 
Tryna get mo' chedda then I got today 

I feel mo' better when I party by the lake
I know some fellas who done Tay-K'd the race
Eject fluid y'all slept through it the best student 
Elevated became professor tutoring X mutants 

The greatest hater can't even debate dedication 
I graduated early with the latest registration 
Unlike the document you keep in yo glove box 
Ain't got no reason to stop us we don't love cops

Rewind
Back to the day where we could freeze time
Time went so slow now i can barely find
Any to spare so imma take my, take my time
take my, take my time, take my time

The cleanest Cuban ain't mo' polished than the roughest diamond 
You just refine it can't rewind it if you rush ya timing 
I'm eating Ruckus Ramen 
We in step aligning 
I spot 'em at the bar ain't have to send no text to find 'em 

I'm shooting billiards ya don't know dealy is 
Don't shake for bets with us gotta trust we honest
Fifth to the neck, tonight I'm not meant to drink 
Dip from sets like Camron magenta mink

I gave my heart, I'm an official donor now 
You poke me mon no waterworks I ain't no Totodile 
The Uzumaki ninja Justu couldn't clone the style why ya shawty folding under pressure at my domicile 

Why ya shawty folding under pressure at my domicile 
Why ya shawty folding under pressure at my domicile 

Rewind
Back to the day where we could freeze time
Time went so slow now i can barely find
Any to spare so imma take my, take my time
It’s my, life so i’m moving in my own time
Not bout to rush me, imma take my time
Say what i wanna when i feel like, feel like
It’s my life, it’s my, it’s my life

Oh, oh
Rewind
Back to the day where we could freeze time
Time went so slow now i can barely find
Any to spare so imma take my, take my time
Take my time
Take my time
