Sometime Soon

Funkier im fresh but im feeling lesser than
veterans telling me im nothin but a general 
Proving em wrong ‘s why i write it down 
I'm always in the mood to influence the crowd
Who you know funkier than Matt The V
Making ‘em bounce, like a trampoline
Tear the place down but the music remains
‘S why we celebrate, with a slice of chocolate cake
I see her at the front door she got the e-pen
Puff puff pass, we party like the weekend
At the connections but now it’s RIP
On to the next one, goodbye Moxie 
And you don't gotta ask, u can tell he can rap
We restart, turning over new leafs man
No matter the race, no matter the class
My homies out of their mind like Radagast 

Bridge (Harmonize)
So put your hands together give it up for the Funk
Im bringing it to you to see if you’re tough enough
Those who not down with the hip hop stuff I present to you the funk,
Give it up for the Funk
(x2)

Chorus (Sing)
Bringing you the Funk
Are you tough enough
Put your hands together
Give it up for the Funk
(x2)


Pro photoshopper by day, ugh
Open mic show stopper, by night
I’m creating a buzz, you just floating’ around
Kicked outta the rat race now i gotta re-route
Little bit of alcohol too much could be a downer
‘S why we take tequila shots cuz thats an upper 
Tying the knot got you feeling content 
But really you realize you get it within
drink till i puke now i sing around town
‘s why i bring the funk, without a doubt
Y'all lookin indigo you got blue in your sound
I’m tipping you good if the cheese curds hot
The kid with the flow, yeah kinda cocky
10 dollar bill, 9 for the hot wings
Gimme a taste, no dip with it
She lickin the bone dry...
Boom. finished.
Went online looking for love all day
Got traumatized, i learned the hard way
Now I never let up never mess up never stumble….
As long as you got a message, I don’t care if you mumble…..

Bridge (Harmonize)
So put your hands together give it up for the Funk

Interlude
Clap...clapp...claopp..clapp..
Give it up
C’mawn
Give it up
Give it up for the Funk


I can speak in real life, no profan
Bringing the memes? go back to 4chan
Grew up in the mitten, Detroit Metro
Not about the rhetoric I speak for myself
Working for me i expect you to be ready
I don't give out rides to the people I hire
They say hip hop got a negative undertone
They’re not proving them wrong so i gotta do it for em (lol)
Drinking on stage we performing our set
They wanna tear it down im like what the freakin’ freck?
Last call u can hop on the drumset
Just do whatever, they wanna mirror the kid
Life’s not a race so i run it like a marathon
Grandma at home mother at her beckoning call
Bring it to you online every store 
no analogue and my homies all digital….

Funk

Lights out, area 608
Ya better pipe down, Lumacity makin waves
Can’t isolate the sound, 
They power down and deny it
Cuz they know we charged…
Especially I is...
Matt The V data breach suckkas gawn try it
We go off of the grid, took it to knoxville
They navigate the map, but little like I did 
Rock and the rap the destination i arrived at 
Talented American?? we can tip a glass to that  
Bought a bachelor of arts rented bachelor pad
They practically pant, while i go without wasting a breath i 
Became a of a kind like i wasn’t born to be bred
Shady, im hangin around and blocking the lights 
Wages? Out of the guild now im paying the price
Raided, the dungeon without taking a prisoner, they 
Doin time all the time while i get mah business up 
The beat? Bought it with my last couple of bucks
Givin you V wherever i be showing up 
The Sylvee across the street, negative degrees
I was born in the cold, the hoodie is enough for me

Lights out…
Lights out..


Lights out, in 5 months time
Unemployment checks 
Livin off uncle sam’s dime
though i got the can at my last job
I never hesitate to pick up digits at the last con-
cert i saw sublime with with a 10:30 end time what am i 9?
With a goal to not sound alike 
a unique kinda suburban white 
a boutique of dynamite i got it from Christ
Viral? yeah...that’d be nice 
I let karma come around it goes SLICE!
Off with your head he got a mad mind
Desensitised from the online counter culture paradigm 
Now i’m borderline without a roof over mine 
I work with em if they half right
where most would turn their backs that’s exactly where Matt strikes 
Rapatite but the precursor was the graphic design  
I shoot it back to the lab and collab with the composer
Come back with the feedback till it’s kosher 
Give it a week and i put out the meat for the vultures 
Michigan bread/bred with a backup slice in the toaster
They wanna hang out and kick it over mobile 
I call that a counter-strike to real life, the physical 
A tablet for the masses keep a craft and practice it over
I sacrifice the lights for now for a brighter future


lights out, welcome to madtown
game wide open, who the next cash cow?
CBD the next cash crop 
mix it with the THC now, that’s hawwwt
my iPhone old, i had to put it down 
i x’ed out the 6, got the 10 now
i swipe past ya post without laggin'
my homies all archived, they transcendence
severance pay i'm barely gettin’ thru 
producer from New York, dudes like 52 (lol)
snake on the lake radio play me
watch me slither to fame, believe me 
i'm on state street, capitol in plain view 
a sigh relief i got the OK to 
get off of the meds but i still gawn pop em 
cheeseheads eating up mah cheddar when i chop it 
wig all faded mine you can’t erase it 
my aurora like i rose from my ma's basement 
real talk i'm a career ahead of you
a decade in development my life age is irrelevant 
i will never react if you reflect my identity 
in fact, ill progress that
or reverse that, ugh
better learn that, ugh
whichever to keep u guessing for eternity

Lights Out

Invisible

So many V’s
So many Thieves
Corner of the street sandwiched between
My own last name
Quit, pulling my jeans 
CBD needs, within legal breach
I do what i do without the adderall popped 
they crammin the words like it was finals time 
I badger the track like i’m inside my prime
He bow to a POW! see the devise (lol)
While they flutter around, i try to blend in 
More like a moth, the monochromatic man
Imma ruin your tune, with a violent twist 
When i sever the anthrax, and rip off the wings 
Tear apart the thorax and slash at the abdomen
Turn a kaleidoscope into a butterfly massacre
Wanna blow up? pollinate the game?
Better clear the history and refresh the page


I’m living a life thinking what could be death?
Is it eternally dark or does it really have an end?
You can be dead….but still exist 
The end of life? or beginning of the next?
Look at my paws, the line on my palms 
Predicting how long till the day that i’m gone 
My enemies long for the day that i rest 
A Pillow of sweat u can tell that he wept
Terminally ill, they wanna kill the command
Our ego protects from these pitiful pests and they surround me….
Under the law and they prowling….
Delaware is the street that I was founded
Those who wanted to brown me
Now hide in the bowers under the oak trees
Livonia could be the Pallet Town, as say 
Professor Oak is to my homies 
I’m logging the text between me and the gawd 
Enough of the dropbox, he ain’t gettin on
But the game got a bug that i really gotta squash 
My time in the egg it was long, it was harsh
the larva was hatched and along come a song 
Of how he learned to rap, to fend death off (hang on)
Hung from the arms, the pupa hang low
The larva unarmed, and the story unfolds 
Mental Torture Or a Metamorphosis?
The motto till i die i scare the life outta death 


You know the talent is raw and the sketches 're fresh
a minute is drawn, keep your attent-
the benches are full 'n the portraits are filled
i flick em on the board n watchin em kill 
whatever the will, your writers are ewwww
poetic a justify when i empty your till 
for real, he cheap and he shewd 
dummy thinkin' a gummy got a bear with a tail?
i bought it for the rent you bought it in cash 
dropped outta battle but now you stuck with the grass
yeah....'n have fun with that ....
babies are bored so they copy the Matt
property taxes with a mentality backwards u
babblin in fractions the 22 is a catch its just
me and my writers, widda secret language 
talkin to each other, thats it

ASCAP ASAP

party on, party on, gotta get your party on
party on, ain't going to be sunny long
the moon shine tellin' me u want more wine?
lil dime next to mine but i gotta fly
out to the Open mic the nomad
oh man, construction is so bad
fee we pay for the hip hop tension  
swore you were safe, but why all the sirens
why would you want a rename whats already in place 
I don't do edits unless it makes sense 
Put your mind to it, it just takes time 
whatchya thank whatchya say? hacking the mind?
the man with the shades gotchu mah strings  
can flash all the rings but it don't mean a thing, baby 
tellin me no, i can see through your maybe 
unravel your mind offer a hit of cid, maybe 
im that boy



he do what he love, and he love what he do 
Jumpin’  the gun, but it sound fluid to me
i could do this my sleep 
slangin' a video game? 
...bettin i could sell a stream 
jaded and tired 
better catch a Z
prone to a cat nap i 2pm sleep on em 
calendar i bend it 
the UX incredible  
check it out, battle-mode
my hero line up a catalogue of washed up fuck wits 
without a result, when they do a rough search 
money for the art, you make art for money 
wanna play the part, but don't wanna take part in 
the poorer the performance the more the promoted 
your shit blend in....i just gloss over it
you can laquor the finish but where you lack is where the grit is 
but the fact is that the pattern is too predictive 



chillin with a dime, she gettin rid of the 'stang 
17 for the wip odometer the same 
ac inside, chrome around the rings 
easy to look at, talking to me?
conspiracy or does he got true potential?
u snug as a bug in a rug 
when you draw what you lust and then u hung from a music note….ugh 
jelly and they really wish they had the talent
but i wonder why you mad at it?
you perfect every corner while i chisel the edges
cuz thats what life is, what a masterpiece 
or a disaster piece, who woulda knew
tracks are toxic, they louder than your hovs
women who wonder why they wallow in they doom
when we both know at the end of the day
you were the one who you drew you in the noose

Party On

I knew right then I was in the wrong
Booked a flight down south, i jumped the gun was gonna be 
You in the back and me on the wing 
Used to be co pilots, man that was the V’s since then i 
carried the flow while you carried boxes 
Fedex units t-rex islands
200 packs on amazon's doorstep
Warehouse overloaded half my shit rejects
I can’t eject your ticket it's too late now
Too late in the game to re-route 
From middle school days to Michigan state
Tried to get your ass up (but I failed), u
made me aware of my slur and a stutter
working with you, fixed a brother
h potter, scar above face, day fathers,
Day of my birth, 35 candles 


Simple man with a god complex
Innocent lives on my front steps
In this world of neon lights n advertisements
I keep the blinders on to reach success


As we we prepare for take off I rap my face off 
Watching baseball at bookies
No ac jukebox all booked, you see
I control the shit when the whack shit on 
No offense but turn that Janet Jackson down, (shit)
Not tryna hear all that, you kidding me? 
Told you we ain’t winning when we up by 1 in the 9th inning the all like (you're flying? really?)
Game goes on, we give up 2
I was right this time, tigers loose 
Told ya’ll imma rap past 40 regardless 
graphic design all through college  
See when you do this shit for as long as me
You know what corners to cut and what should be free
I negotiate with engineers, product design 
Tell em what to build, then prioritize i’m a 
orderly tornado an organized mess with a
Laser-like focus i manage myself  
Earbuds in lenny kravitz in the deck 
Triple squeeze to go back 2 to go next 


Simple man with a god complex
Innocent lives on my front steps
In this world of neon lights n advertisements
I keep the blinders on to reach success

See, this rap shit aint nothing to me but its something i use to 
Pull me outta the dirt when I get confused
The poetry the portal for you to step thru
If you get rid of everything you got nothing to lose
I was wrong when I set out on this music shit
Set out to do the realest, the illest  
But in reality real get trampled and buried 
Half don’t even try, ‘s like why carry
The game on your back if you got family to feed
While y'all started family trees we dropped “Family V”
Now society aiming at you, blaming you for
Things you can’t contain, angle you choose to
Define how you grapple life ‘n all that 
Either u handle the heat or melt like candle wax
Little glitter on the flame and the flame will flickr
Lil kick in the ass make a man out of a wigger
Nobody with bigger interest in intricacies boiled down to its infancy since infant he
Let u know the lesson of the song which is
Expect to get when u give, you’re probably wrong


Simple man with a god complex
Innocent lives on my front steps
In this world of neon lights n advertisements
I keep the blinders on to reach success

Mr. Simpleton

games we play, artificial pranks
drinks on the house, mind games 
see if he says anything, see if hes enticed 
he just wanna see if the V the greedy type 
roll the dice, see if you on yo game 
shot of that green T no pain
Homies I gave up childish games 
i still play em you could say i took the bait 
nonetheless they check if im rapping right
most dont say shit so im on that next dragon flight, wow..
warpath in this rap a decade strong
warcraft lives for 18 long
i mined my craft before minecraft existed 
grew my hair out, dreadlocks extended
far from extended i could go all day 
Society outline the map yall gawn play 
loot boxes and dudes cop em 
doors of closets use em as work objects 
tabletops for the gamer space
studio the g6 leave no trace 
game not a race i seen enough 
hover above it im in the bleachers, bruh 
unplugged from the rat race a decade back 
handyman whos raps attached to him like a fanny pack
paint a picture i could could paint one back 
With the music or the paintbrush pick a craft
well rounded, still un-founded
found myself now im well grounded 
through this rap shit, devious tactics
games we play to get lit, matchsticks
rap acrobatics did a way with the cabbage now im
not to be touched touched, CACTUS, lust im past it 
blasted off capitain, lol
reiterate that shit till im extracted
outta this earth out the burbs no felon  
worst we ever did was swerve take a chunk out the curb dont tell em 
alone in my tower please do not disturb him
talking truths but fools don't deserve 'em
unemployment money handcuffed to the govt now
games i gotta play to get that bitch to put out 
poor tech and the lack of support 
automated systems aint anyone live any more? 
unwritten rules and fine print
boy with a burden, like god why me?
wishing i was siamese, gotta coat like bigfoot
italian roots, gimme a pizza 
heart like Ceazar, king V eats up 
meatiest meatball you could think of
everything a scam but they wont tell you that
contracts all the way down to your wedding bands
homies elevate to they mini vans lug around mini thems
spending every cent with no reset
search for freedom but chained to your beliefs 
i just sit back and watch it burn, shits a game to me

Games We Play

Wanna V like this? Free agent
Where he gonna land? Clear the pavement
Take a product make it poppin’-  make it sustaining
Wanna increase engagement? The V can arrange it 


free agent 
turn the pages, 
bout to break off, cuz i'm aging like 
Who dat? dude who make it clap
too cool for class no certificate
Keep it clean, let it all breathe
Composition good, that's nothin’ to me
interface easy to click through it
Mediocre scream “Matt we miss you”
Can't help i was raised to be a victor
And im clutch like a field goal kicker
Judge a kid by his weapon, house ball V 
we at the alley haven't seen em in weeks
So much spin on the ball make em piss they beds
They get under that thang like a pitching wedge
pack my bags then its straight to Cancun 
no time to monkey around, baboon 
leave the kids at home we up past 4,
Downtown plymouth, no cash at the door
We call it DTP, swap the P with the V
you get MVP from MPV
matt paul vicini lone genius 
born to ball, believe this  
balls to the wall be my thesis
Chew your ass out like I was teething
every word checked, every letter, bruh 
Free agent, they’ll never measure up


Wanna V like this? Free agent
Where he gonna land? Clear the pavement
Take a product make it poppin’-  make it sustaining
increase engagement The V can arrange it 


Too little time, too much to do 
black cloud follow me around for so long i forgot the sky was blue i won't lose 
in this rap shit i could choose
which beat to pluck from the ethernet
shoutout to Dandub n’ the beat he sniffed out
We in this bitch till we get kicked out 
Royal oak, Boogie Fever, shots all around
I'm in the zone, runnin' it all night 
Hop on the treadmill- athlete
Free agent-- and i’m up for signage
Ain’t no rookie on the roster, senior designer
Check the case study, road to employment
go for the gold no avoidance
I took a 150 interviews and 40 second rounds 
10 late stages 2 of em' i turned down 
Six figure job had to see the contract…
Got a verbal offer-- declined that
I aint impulsive, that aint me
The quicker the response the less you think
I’m a straight up champ with the craft I manifest
Built a band as a rapper out in Madison
They do it for the crowd, I do it for the craft
I’m at Chase Bank, while you were chasing ass
interface artist, cant mess with me
Fresh out the state streets, L-I-V 
I might work for you, but i do it for me (im hot)
Hotter than my fever at a hundred and three


Wanna V like this? Free agent
Where he gonna land? Clear the pavement
Take a product make it poppin’-  make it sustaining
increase engagement? The V can arrange it 


Innovative and agile, innovative team
Trust me, i'm sick— mad cow disease
Working undercover all you see is the side effect
Second hand smoke is ‘bout how high i get 
drop a pin on the map, come through in an Uber
Rescue myself, kick it with boomers
Entertainment artists i call ‘em all band aids
Cause they get ripped off, penny per play
Used to be deep in the tools now i get paid to think
Keep your auto align, that's too tedious for me 
Matthew principal, it's all incremental 
Give you the truth, on top an instrumental 
Live in a tower, talk to pilots
Drink too much-- and I ain’t even irish
Mafia flow straight outta Italy
Popped out the womb, an instant G
Live in the D, keys to the Pontiac
Work from home, i don’t even drive that
No lying, no pouting 
Empty apartment, no couches 
Stay with me you sleep on the floor
You gotta 5 star hotel across the road (c’mon)
Complain about parking this shit ain't for free
Like phone game, gotta pay to play
No time to move slow, i’m pushing 40
Game half over, already 
My team move heavy, better respect it
Make your intellect look that of an insect
free agent, i'm ready to ride
Hand me a pen, show me where to sign


Wanna V like this? Free agent
Where he gonna land? Clear the pavement
Take a product make it poppin’-  make it sustaining
increase engagement The V can arrange it

All Over The Place

"Animal"my story chaotic, like an animal
tracking down leads, lion vs an antelope
reptile blood, cold and i channel those
thoughts of revenge into grammatical
lookin at me crooked, like i'm not a mammal
showing' the molars, how i let em know
career is impacted, its really gotta go
i want a sabbatical, gotta let graphics go
im feel like a felon, thoughts of a criminal
you fruity like melon, cantaloupe  
the track that i made i mastered it myself
want it done right? gotta do it yourself
i cut off all the dreads cuz i felt like an animal
escaping the cage, king kong, tyrannical
breaking the chains, animalistic attitude
when i get emotional, music is the antidote  


i step into the club, and i color adjust it
They schedule the music and they made a connection
Hip Hop with the potential to blow
Under the roof right here at the connections
Thought #TooTurn’t was the last straw….
Pull them together we would get mad props 
Gawd with the flow? i’ll never be that strong
We movin yo’ shoes n knockin’ yo socks off
Im keepin it pyrex
You talkin like you are highbrow, aight then...
Played a little puck when the Red Wings were nice, man  
You got the ice on yo neck I was born on the ice, man 
Grey in my hair like a wise man
Outta the north ill never get a nice tan
Whatever the genre imma defy that
We click-y and we keepin’ the heat like a pie pan
camera guy gimme an aerial shot
fish eye lense, get a pic of the whole mob
rollin with flock who wanna be hot
subway girl i meet u at the tip top (not)
gimme a steed or sick drop
pair it widda chick widda fit bod-
call it a clutch, if they rolling all as 1
matt the v the -ish, the dung
high school, drove a zx2
baby face, peek a boo
wisconsin money we a cete now
im lovin' the cheese, man, i need cows
vertebrae, with the wordplay (ow)
milkin the heard? then we throwin you out
petting the cat, they pattin me down
men in the black thinkin' im packin a blao! (gunshot?)


She got a eyeball in a jar, cannibal?
i drove in a black car, but now i don’t
uber to the bar, i aint steering tho
spotted the cow, 2 dollar for 1 of those
i finna go ham on the grassy knolls
marijuana cannabis under the baggy clothes
clowin’ around then i’m croppin' you out
blobbin’ around then i got off of the couch
believe in a god i got a reason to ride 
playing with a guild and you chattin aloud 
the Canadian man is all laughs for now
buggin’ wit the boogie man, better watch out
faking the plays and they hacking the cloud
going for your blood widda fake account
lookin for love you better off in the crowd
If it’s too good to to be true, it’s probably YEAH...

Animal

diastolic diastolic, mmmmm, what’s your reading? diastolic  
diastolic diastolic, mmmmm, gotta check dat diastolic 
Diastolic while they frolic, Lisinopril why i’m on it?
Heart to big for life on planet earth dawg don’t remind me (mind me) 
the pressure is on, 1 a day 
Numerator flaw, the reading is wrong 
Critical error, the fraction off 
Number on top, it’s gotta come down 

Tellin me?
That any day could be my casket?
perfect timing grocery lining i’m all in a panic 
ALL because my heart can’t survive on its own (on its own)
I think my cpu outgrew my body and my soul (body and soul)
My spirit too bold for my body to enclose 
140 over 90, that's not a normal score 
Without a single lifeline, I live all alone 
So this is what it feels like to give up the 9-5 flow

mmmmm, diastolic diastolic, mmmmm what’s your reading, diastolic ? 
mmmmm, diastolic diastolic, mmmmm, gotta check dat diastolic 
Why im on it? Rely on it, otherwise i’m dyin’ homie (dying homie)
One of a kind, manipulate mine, you’re out of your goddamn mind, homie 
Put off love, put off life, the minute i grow, they don’t like  
Pocket of potential, write when i sleep, wake up bleed, scream then i write 
I’m far- too- young- to- be- this- life- ain’t- right- blank- walls- touched- by- dis-may

They need  the love to weigh ‘em down, us we ground our own  
turn chaos to order, a sketch to final form  
They never got the picture, their father was never drawn 
My arteries is flexin’ pressure on the walls 
Schedule he don’t need it long as he still breathing, believe it 
Start up, with a push start, automatic, with the top back, the seats heated
My layback, demeanor, repealing, whenever you don’t see him meaning he performing the trickery lay back, status? i’m playing it down to keep you dreamin’



Diabolic cry-aholic call him whatever, he might just own it 
Alcoholic, i been through that 
Drug my nuts down high-school hallways
Equator love, a tragic story
Videojuego cash, made that money 
Bitcoin crash
Got in quick
Got right out like i do my psycho hunnies (Hunnies) 
Dates got mundane
Nightwalk Monday 
To get the blood flowing again
Off to the strip club 
Walk on in like, we own the place 
NO HIP HOP
Another one let down 
She got no top, even the bottom is off
Fumblin’ around tryna get a dollar out 
Cash in my crotch she bit it with her mouth
