** CONTAINS SAMPLES FROM "FOR THE LOVE OF YOU PARTS 1&2" BY THE ISLEY BROTHERS

LYRICS:

Lazy, I'm living for you, your sister and brothers too
I know your mother get mad and say shit but none of that's true
Couldn't understand at four years old why dad had to move
If it were up to me, you'd be under my roof

Me and your moms don't get along; we barely even talk
...But trust me when I say that none of it is y'all fault 
You asked if I could stay with y'all and that shit hurt my heart
...I wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start

...Hopefully when you're older you can understand
Spoke to some lawyers about custody; that didn't go as planned
You gotta change what you can and live with what you can't 
No matter how it hurts; the world stops spinning for no man

So I write this y'all; you're more precious than time
I miss you every day; swear it's hard to sleep at night
So no matter what, daddy loves you for life
...And I swear I'll do my best to make everything alright
Alright?

I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go switching on you so don't go switching on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go missing on you please don't go missing on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go switching on you so don't go switching on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go missing on you please don't go missing on me

Yeah, I'm living for you. I know you're living for me
We both live for our kids. My four and your three
One day our eight; complete the family tree
Talks about getting married and living out our dreams

True love, that's us; Us, that's true love
I got you and vice versa; that's what a family does
They say life is a B, I love how our B buzz
Don't care what anyone bumbles and that's B cuz

We just that nice, we just that right
If I'm ever tripping then you adjust my flight
They say love is blind but damn I trust your sight
I say love is a drug and we're each others vice

...I just want us to grow
I'll be damned to not let what we have flow
Hold you up and hold you down; never letting go
So if you ever doubted, right now I'm letting you know

I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go switching on you so don't go switching on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go missing on you please don't go missing on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go switching on you so don't go switching on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go missing on you please don't go missing on me

I said I'm living for fam, daddy; I'm living for him
...Mommy and tiffany, that's right, I'm living for them 
My great grandmother Armettii made me who I am
My granddaddy and uncle Jack were the definition of men

I'm living for my sis; and every one one of her kids
...Living for brother and every one of his

Living for my cousin Dean and those who make him a dad
For my cousins Quoizel, Valnisii and even Chad

I'm living for my auntie, for her tough love
My uncle Ro, uncle Jeremy, grandma I'm living for us

Living for my uncle Dee, Uncle Phillip and Sean
For my grandma Nyasii, i swear i love you a ton

My brothers from another; Biggs, BG, Rock, Zeke
Living for Dionte, Morris, Tieka, Cece,
Lea, Sherri, Jock, Nadia, Claudia too
Everyone in my family, yeah; I'm living for you

I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go switching on you so don't go switching on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go missing on you please don't go missing on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go switching on you so don't go switching on me
I said I'm living for you, are you living for me?
I won't go missing on you please don't go missing on me
Please

Them Jokers Harley made a Dent. Guess they Two Face
Watch what you say

Riches ain't abundance

Just In Case - LYRICS
Author Junior feat. DEep
Southern Rap Tunes

VERSE 1: Author Junior

Don't lie for no bitch, don't front for no nigga
Cause truth be told, you don't know who you don't know, nigga
Men lie, women lie, numbers try nigga
Friends, foes, plenty more; you'd be surprised nigga

Bitches stop calling, when you start falling
And hommies start switching teams when you stop balling
That's life, burdens too light or too heavy
That's life; you're either unprepared or too ready

We're at the bottom so there's no time for fucking up
The only conspiracy is your eyes, you keep them covered up
Play the hand you're dealt, the dealer has no favorites
Nothing in life is free so if you want it, you going to pay for it

Shit is gonna hold you down. It's called gravity
People are gonna lie for what they want, that's called flattery
Most people don't know what to do cause they don't know what is true
Heaven, Hell, Right or wrong, either way that's up to you

HOOK: Author Junior

Unless they got a lawsuit
Tell them niggas get up off you
Keep them bitches out your face
Something on your waiste
Something in the safe...
Just in case you catch a case...
Just in case

VERSE 2: DEep

People take kindness for weakness though weakness was never present
Can't stand up on their own so they using niggas for leverage
Mouth Piece, the proud will spit game and then try to sell it
Misery loves company and I don't care who tell it

So I'm back to riding solo, 45 under the Polo
Try me, yeah that's a no-no; that's something that you should know though
I came up fast and niggas moving in slo mo
They fuck with my delivery, ya'll style's DiGiornio

I get my money upfront, ASAP, pronto
Hustle on the corner, in the rain; no poncho
So best believe I stay fly with no wings
Best player on the court; I ball with no team

Fully aware everything in this world ain't what it seems
I rock steady and stay ready for drama the world brings
Life is constant struggles, weak niggas get out muscled
Better pace yourself; slow niggas get out hustled

HOOK: Author Junior

Unless they got a lawsuit
Tell them niggas get up off you
Keep them bitches out your face
Something on your waiste
Something in the safe...
Just in case you catch a case...
Just in case


Just In Case feat. DEep

I miss Mama…
I miss my mother, my little sister and father…
Grandaddy and my Uncle Jack I try to honor
The closer they get the more it hurts so why bother

God help…
I don't wanna do this by myself
I done took so many losses there's barely anyone left
I done cried so many tears hidden from everyone else
Don't let it show, but even the word says Christ wept

Family and friends dying, meanwhile I'm still trying
To hold onto their word cause someone gotta live by it
Some days are worse than others, I can't help but to feel tired
Smiling in public, but emotionally real private

Armed with a verse because the enemy still sliding
Voices in my head but when I pray they get real quiet
The lord is my shield so I try not to feel pious
You can test me, but not my G, I'm still riding

Abba all I got is you (is you)
Everyone else leaves when I run out
But no, not you (not you)
Father won't you please just lift me up
Lord I need healing (healing)
Lately I been feeling solo (solo)

Everything's been falling apart
And watching it's been clouding my heart
Doubts and second guesses are drowning my thoughts
It's a blessing to struggle but that don't mean it ain't hard

Job don't pay enough. Rent is all I got
Add the bills, clothes and food; something gone come up short
Don't take it wrong, I've gotten through the storm a lot
But life is a cycle so you gone get washed
Now watch…

I've come a long way from scheming and hustling
Speeding and cussing, smoking, drinking and busting
I had no peace, I was bugging, all that was leading to nothing
People coming and going and leaving me with the grudges

I found my reason in Jesus He covered me in His covenant
I survived that part of life to be relieved of my judgement
So as it's falling to pieces I won't sleep on His justice
I still believe that my season is coming
That's Job

Abba all I got is you (is you)
Everyone else leaves when I run out
But no, not you (not you)
Father won't you please just lift me up
Lord I need healing (healing)
Lately I been feeling solo (solo)

My babies mother just lost her life
A couple years after she lost her rights, right?
And all of the children, in spite of that lost, ain't cried
And what's so sad is the fault ain't mine

See, she refused to come to court, so she lost that fight
Missing calls and visitations my wife often tried
Spent many years together doing what I thought was right
But couldn't afford the cost or price
Like… Like…

I always thought she would've came right back
Tell the kids about her life and give them game like that
Life is strange like that; sometimes you can't fight back
I lost my mother too, I ain't wish them pain like that

Generational curses and hereditary diseases
You were 34 I wished you lived life with more meaning
See, you were fighting demons; I pray that you found Jesus
Rest easy because the kids are loved beyond reason

Abba all I got is you (is you)
Everyone else leaves when I run out
But no, not you (not you)
Father won't you please just lift me up
Lord I need healing (healing)
Lately I been feeling solo (solo)

Abba all I got is you (is you)
Everyone else leaves when I run out
But no, not you (not you)
Father won't you please just lift me up
Lord I need healing (healing)
Lately I been feeling solo (solo)


Solo [Produced by Loseph Jones]

I keep my grass cut for snakes
And praise the Lord that I'm covered in grace
Cause with Him I know that I… well I don't amount to much but mistakes
Cause sometimes this world is too much to take
But, this ain't luck, this is fate
No, I don't follow my gut, this is faith
God ordered my steps before the purchase was made
The Devil lurking for days
Got these haters throwing dirt on my name
But that's cool cause ain't no dirt on my grave
You knave
Behave
I'm, next to Godliness cause I'm clean, folk
Nothing about me is average, but I'm still mean though
Steel sharpens steel and they still can't steal my steelo 
Rap and make beats, I been Ye (benet) no Creole
Been Cole; like absolute zero you can't be Lo (below)
And if you don’t believe in the trinity you can't be Neo
Watch what you speak on, I run it like I got cleats on
Yeshua is King and can't be dethroned

Satan get behind me (Satan get behind me)
Hater get behind me (hata get behind me)
Satan get behind me (Satan get behind me)
Hater get behind me (hata get behind me)
Satan get behind me

If you're negative; don't talk to me, please
And keep your spotlight; I don't got to be seen
They want the fame and followers. I thank God that I ain't caught that disease
It makes your heart that much harder to reach
Your hate ain't bothering me
No big deal; it's not a problem for me
Going downhill is just slalom for me
See, even if I hit bottom; God got him; it's not what you think
The top ain't far from my reach
This life is not for the weak
So preach
I give all glory to God because I'm alive, holmes
I from the very same streets that many have died on
The streets that cops ride on. Streets that backs lied on
But pressure makes diamonds and we ain't rhinestone, we shine on
I made it because of God, I couldn't do it on my own
Thought I knew my value and worth but I had price wrong
I was living life wrong, Now I'm tryna right wrongs
So everything I do is to put Christ on 

Satan get behind me (Satan get behind me)
Hater get behind me (hata get behind me)
Satan get behind me (Satan get behind me)
Hater get behind me (hata get behind me)

Satan get behind me (Satan get behind me)
Hater get behind me (hata get behind me)
Satan get behind me (Satan get behind me)
Hater get behind me (hata get behind me)
Satan get behind me

INTRO: Hard Drug by Loseph Jones (excerpt)

She asked me when we were gonna fuck
I told her that she wasn't ready for that
You're doing pretty good for yourself,
But I'll fuck your life up

Once you hit this pipe everything will change...
...going to work tired from our late nights...
At first you may think that you can cope,
But I'm fucking your life up

Now I'm all you need to get by...
You've lost your job, home and spouse...
I give you temporary relief but don't forget,
I fucked your life up

VERSE 1:
I see you looking and I'm looking back
Shawty wetter than a pool; I'm tryna dip in that
Back stroke, front stroke, tryna swim in that
Bang your frame against the wall, can you picture that?

We play with money; I got action figures, folk
When I get it from the back she's on her tippy toes
When I finish she'll be walking like she pidgeon toed
Then we both lay up like a finger roll

Shawty call me when you down and I'll pick you up
The only thing you gotta do is just hit me up
I pull up, she hop in, I let her hit the blunt
Shawty bad, I bet a bag you can't hit her once

Love that face that she makes when she bite her lips
She like it rough, she be asking me to tie her wrists
We get to it; the type of girl who don't like to kiss
She ain't scared she can twerk it while she ride the dick

I been had hoes I know it ain't the fame
A couple 9s, a couple 10s, shit, I can't complain
My homie told me slow down, boy pick a lane
Fuck that, a nigga hungry; taking everything

It ain't nun to a G, I let her hold a bit
No pictures when I'm with her; fuck that photo shit
She keep it on the low; she ain't posting shit
And if anybody ask, I don't know that bih

Yeah, the club is where I met her at
We just living in the moment; it'll never last
Shawty know I don't love her an she never ask
She got a man, in a week he can get her back

Shawty feenin, she be begging me to get a hit
I serve it to her then she asking me to hit again
But like hold on reality; gotta get grip
I throw her a lil sum and tell her spend the shit
Just like this...

HOOK:
She beggin, she irkin
She stressin, she searchin
She feenin, she moaning
She need it, she want it
{X2}
She want a hit nightly...
Dope dick; that's a pipe dream...
She need a hit nightly...
Dope dick; that's a pipe dream...
{X2}

VERSE2:
Fuck the games, I'm asking you... Can I see what that ass can do? 
There's a bunch of girls in here, but none of them as bad as you; tell the truth I'm tryna crash with you
I'm a nasty dude, I'm tryna pet that cat with you, maybe hit it from the back with you
Smoke a pack or two, then get back to that act we do; you know I'm known to watch a ten (Washington) like a National

I done had a few and you had a couple glasses too, even smoked a lil gas with you
Don't be mad I'm just passing through, so you gotta move fast with dude, check the attitude
I'm tryna run it back with you, complete a pass pass with you, maybe make you throw a flag or two
Maybe make you take a nap or two; that dope dick, baby, that's what that'll do

Damn baby bad as fuck, a nigga can't have enough
When I'm griding, ain't no dividing what a nigga adding up; she feel like she gotta fuck
Lil mama class is tough, perfect body and her ass is cusped; a nigga can't pass you up
Let a nigga get up in that tweety bird, hash tag you up. Forward and backslash you up...

I wrap it up and straight dap it up; set the camera up and get to fucking acting up
I pack her up and skeet it where she tatted up, then I beat it where it's fat as fuck
She can feel it all in her stomach when I stab it up; and I keep shawty coming like traffic bruh
Make it hard for her to breath like plastic does, now she a fucking addict cuz

HOOK {X2}

Pipe Dreams [Prod. By Nehzuil]

This song is produced by J-Glad and features Cross Claudia AKA Jazmin Swai as a writing credit on the song. The song is approached as if I'm having a conversation with my homegirl for the first verse and my homeboy in the second verse. Actually, at the very beginning of the song I state that I wrote the song for my homegirl and my homeboy - because I did. The chorus speaks to both of them at the same time as if I've pulled them both to the side and spoke to them collectively. In the conversation I'm having with them, I'm explaining that I know how it feels to make a large investment in someone just for them to let you down. The first half of both verses is me being empathetic to their individual situations and then the second half of both verses is me reminding them of their worth. It is an inspirational song, to a crossover-type beat, with a melodic hook and simple, yet complex, verses.

Currently, the song is featured on two mixtapes of mine that I released on 11/14/18: "Patience & Purpose" and "Rap Is Easy, Life Is Hard". Both of those mixtapes feature throwaway songs from my main project, called #TheOtherGuy, that I'll be releasing on Valentine's Day. There Are Two Sides and another song called Dom & Letty are the only songs featured on both of those mixtapes that will also be on #TheOtherGuy when it is released because they are my two pre-selected singles for that project.
