Lyrics - 
[LEN]
I keep on striving for a better tomorrow  
One with less despair and much less sorrow 
Always on my grind to keep improving 
Even when I'm down I keep on moving 
So many dark thoughts in my head  
Reflecting on the type of life I've led  
Lucky to be fed and not starving instead  
After a long day I'm grateful to have a bed 
Wondering if I'll achieve my dreams 
Hoping there's a guide of headlight beams  
It's very easy to give in to laziness  
See the bad in life like a pessimist 
But here and there are sprouts of inspiration  
In those moments I work with little hesitation 
Putting down some initial ideas  
A rough draft that hasn't been reviewed by peers  
Not sure if they will go anywhere 
Or if they'll stay in place like a resting chair 
As of now, it might be trash  
But throwing it away would be way too rash 
The future's so grand 'cuz of its potential  
An unknown figure in time's residential 
The vagueness past the present is terrifying 
Can seem so scary that it's petrifying  
But if I don't journey onward to the next  
That uncertainty will likely keep me vexed 
It'll keep me chained up in a mental jail 
No chance to succeed so I could only fail 
Don't stay in your comfort zone, containing skills in a dome, capping off before the top of the cone, take your life back as something only you can own, stay authentic so you don't become a clone 
No one can determine who you are beside you  
No one can do it exactly like you do  
Take pride in what you've lived through 
Rising higher than blue skies and surviving your blues 
It'll never be the same as it was once  
I've changed a lot throughout the days and the months 
But I can take a page from my past me 
So I'll never let another day get past me 
Fear and caution are what were passed to me 
I seek to conquer them by gaining mastery 
Knowing I haven't reached my best 
I've been on the ascent, haven't reached the crest 
Push forward to another day acknowledge doubts but flying away from my bay focused on my vow so I won't be nudged astray and cashing out on the time that I pay for all my wrongs while I turn gray and slowly burnout like in an ashtray

Lyrics - 

[LEN humming]

[LIO] 
Sick and tired of this, man I can't breathe 
Suppressed by the system; feels like we can't leave 
This discrimination; they see us as a lower creation 
Picking out trouble like they're picking through vegetation  
Rooted in the US structure 
This country thriving off my people's blood and it will not rupture 
That's evident from all of the civil unrest 
Bad cops brutalizing us; we're regarded as less  
The court system don't be working in our favor 
Anything we do is thuggish though the cops exhibit gang behavior 
My brothers and sisters are getting murked on the streets 
Future looking murky; can even get murked in our sheets 
By the ones who're supposed to defend the public 
The system is responsible; the popo are puppets 
We don't see eye to eye, we're kept close to the ground 
No sympathy, they keep us hog-tied and bound 

I'm from the same plane Elijah McClain was slain  
I can't imagine all the pain from his family, I can't maintain  
Operating normally, my brain on a different lane 
He was treated horribly, unnecessarily detained  
In a manner so morbidly, couldn't stay detached 
Young brotha walking home and his life was snatched 
I'm drained seeing these tragedies happen in batch 
They were like baby birds who barely had a chance to hatch 
This brutality makes me feel worthless 
Makes me think all my people are really surplus 
We not real human beings to them  
We just primal animals dressed up in human skin 
Judged by birth like that's our original sin 
We the trendsetters but it's not really a win 
'Cuz our work is stolen and appropriated 
Rarely get credit for the things we created 

Institutions put up a front saying they see us equally  
But don't really hear us, treating the problem financially  
They want to give us one-time donations 
That's good and all but this a marathon; we want more participation 
They don't get our experiences 
How we've been met with obstacles and interferences 
For decades after slavery 
Fighting for enough concessions to be savory 
Iterations integrated internally 
If it makes a profit, they do it fervently 
Loops like the Jim Crow era and mass incarceration 
Onslaught of physical and mental mutilation 
Racism subtle, used to be overt 
If you want to notice the change, you gotta stay alert 
Implicit biases matched with micro aggressions 
And that's everyone, legacies of normalized oppression 

[OIL]  
Representation is something that really matters 
Rarely see my people at the top of the ladder 
Don't get me wrong, I see strides being made 
Pioneers getting the foundation laid 
But we definitely need more and more 
To lead in spaces we haven't been in before 
Be further integral in making the calls 
Take us real seriously like Toy Story dolls 
Not addressing one aspect or one point of view 
But fully solve after letting all perspectives brew  
Own and have support of our own works 
Being leaders, even if people are irked 
Or else the system'll still work against us 
We'll remain on the outskirts like stale bread crust 
This not the only solution, maybe not even the greatest 
Just some food for thought, we need to expand our minds' radius

[OIL]
Coming out swinging you know I be scheming tryna find meaning future so bright that it's beaming flow so wet from all of y'all peeing flex so hard it's got y'all fleeing learning from all the things that I am seeing reality so weird it feels like I'm dreaming real tired so now I am leaning rhymes so lethal alarms are ringing just tryna be human being commotion in my head is teemimg fighting all my battles like I'm fighting demons in every type of weather and every type of season threw out emotions 'cuz I just need reason got a pack of wolves 'cuz I don't want treason arouse attention just from teasin' and I stick to tasks like an adhesion    
I entail precision but amass collision making fast decisions looking for my vision and fulfill my mission to increase admission for a coalition or a demolition spitting with concision slicing with incision splitting with some fission it's a war of attrition I don't need recognition or permission I just cook more rhymes like I'm in a kitchen mixed with repetition birthed with dispositions but a good life is my acquisition write a new petition to release inhibition get the people to listen and change the system power through like a piston assist the world with this new transition adding together common divisions and improve all of our positions 
Spitting fire so much it had me asthmatic, here to cause havoc, life's a comedy and a tragic, but I keep coming back like I'm magic, verses coming out so fantastic, four dollars to my name but I gotta tactic, for increasing my gains with mathematics, become an engineer in a smarter bracket, breaking inner bonds so I need a jacket, mind so open it's elastic, thinking so much my head's erratic, keep coming back to rap like I'm an addict, matching words to create a new classic, cutting through things with a hatchet, delve into the mind's different facets, my rhymes ain't automatic, invisible to limits like there's no attic, hopping to the beat like a rabbit, never stagnant my state of motion ain't static, more like dynamic, finna put the game in a panic if I let loose and run rampant, staying on course while rarely straying tangent, I won't stop rapping 'til it becomes a habit, feel as comfortable as soft fabric, just the thought alone gets me pretty ecstatic  

Don't want to be in a casket soon, working hard from July to the end of June, from the rising of the Sun to the setting of the moon, driving up even if I'm stuck in a dune, climb up 'til I'm like the sun at noon, hype up the masses with a fire tune, influence larger than a male baboon, speaking with a beat that makes the heart go boom, start rapping crazy like animated toons, or like I took a handful of 'shrooms, words more dangerous than a fatale wound, then get some air after talking in fumes, leaving a mess behind like a big typhoon, talent scarier than the teacher from the black lagoon, letting out all the words I've learned and consumed, aware that hardships still loom

Lyrics - 
[LEN]
I'm the beast from the downtown Denver 
Living my life, walking all clever 
Popping my collar all around the street 
Looking for some girls (ahHA) to meet 
I'm like a cheetah running so fast  
Trying to get away from my sheltered past 
I know I could be a nuisance sometimes 
But I'm still here bustin' my rhymes 

Wait,
I'm actually a dude raised in Aurora 
A little awkward and as curious as Dora 
While roaming the street, I walk to my own beat, gliding around on both of my feet
Slightly overweight, showing off my chubby cheeks 
I sweat profusely, I'm a sports-y geek  
But I'm glad to be who I am 
I would call on myself if ever in a jam 

Rap version, this is how I roll rap version
This is how I go rap version
Taking my time, making my rhyme it's all good
Rap version, this is how I roll rap version
This is how I go rap version
Taking my time, making my rhyme it's all good
 
Came from a pretty good household 
Grew up shy, far from being bold  
Kept most my thoughts to my lonesome 
So they wouldn't be let out in a manner worrisome 
Later I decided to change  
Rearrange to permit gains from all of my pains 
Reconcile with my past and come to terms 
Harden my resolve until it's solidly firm 

Someday, I wanna be an all-around guy 
I wanna be a great dude before I die 
I wanna be smart and I wanna be athletic 
I wanna be nice and I wanna be poetic 
Sometimes I wanna be the best of the best  
Working all the time to get better than the rest  
In reality I still get jealous 
Yet it makes me feel a bit more zealous 

Rap version, this is how I roll rap version
This is how I go rap version
Taking my time, making my rhyme it's all good
Rap version, this is how I roll rap version
This is how I go rap version
Taking my time, making my rhyme it's all good
 
Lenny, Leon, and Leo, coming from geo-graphic  
Of mountains adjacent, chasing my dreams like Jason 
My presence scary, people be spooked 
Slashing and removing my mask as a self-titled duke  
I used to go by the Duke of Awesome  
Allowing everyone's awesomeness to blossom 
Inspire them to be who they desire to be  
So they don't gotta be dry and can live juicy 

A jack of all trades but a master in none 
I've done so many things but rarely won 
It's all good, though, that's just how it is 
Would rather that than being kept down like a lid 
I'm just trying to live my life the way I like 
Spread my ideas and thoughts through a mic 
I love to learn from everyone 
And I don't think I'll ever truly really be done

Rap version, this is how I roll rap version
This is how I go rap version
Taking my time, making my rhyme it's all good
Rap version, this is how I roll rap version
This is how I go rap version
Taking my time, making my rhyme it's all good

[LIO]
Slickest in the room 
[LEN Smooth Criminal]
[LIO]
Out here walking on the moon 
Aha, making the ladies swoon  
Highly-valued man busting outta his cocoon 
A tough act to beat 
Dancing fanatically and I rap on beats 
Good scholastically, it's like I got life cheats 
Big Jurassic-ally, watch from your seats
 
Fly guy walking into the venue 
So popular I didn't need to bring my own crew 
'Cuz when they see me, they turn around in a slew 
Looking wide-eyed like they took cold brew 
From the jump, I'm a very important person 
I'm unique, deviating from the crowd like a perversion 
Treated like a prince, might stage an incursion  
Not entitled but I'll be a king through insertion 
Top rank, approaching from the flank 
This rap sport, finna use all in my tank 
Set up rapport with my pen as good as Ratchet and Clank 
Sweaty in court quench my thirst with a cool water drank 
From the beginning, my bloodline royal 
Only at simmer, wait 'til I boil  
I rap better than aluminum foil 
Y'all dirt level, Ima rise outta the soil 

Yeah, slickest in the room 
[LEN Smooth Criminal]
[LIO]

Aha, making the ladies swoon  
Highly-valued man busting outta his cocoon 
A tough act to beat 
Dancing fanatically and I rap on beats 
Good scholastically, it's like I got life cheats 
Big Jurassic-ally, watch from your seat
 
Aight, I'm cappin' toward the start of my rappin' 
That's not the truth about what actually happens 
But when I'm dancin' I'm a distraction  
Split the crowd into a fraction  
So they surround me like a fight's in action 
Or like I started a new trend of fashion  
A bunch of them got their eyes on me  
Some of y'all bummy; I'm 'bout to get my master's degree 
Flippin' my money as y'all flip with a spatula, g 
Future looking sunny, formulating formulas with ease  
With more potential than Killua and Gon 
Went from hunted to hunter switching up the tone 
Gallivanting in my zone, exude a new air 
Newly aware of my swagger doing shit as I dare 
I quit being a nagger like griping 'bout my hair 
Wit sharper than a dagger; if you pick a fight then beware 
It'll be a mismatch, won't be fair 
Call a dispatch, then lie in despair 
No more chitchat, just say a prayer

Yeah, slickest in the room

Lyrics - 
[OIL]
Relaxing and basking in the Sun's rays 
Life is so taxing I need some lazy days  
Getting served foods and drinks on silver trays  
Soothed with the gentle touch of the ocean's sprays 
Sand oozing through my feet, bringing with it heat, stress starts to deplete, in this much-needed retreat   
Warm weather my mind's a feather floating close by as if it's attached to a tether  
I now have the space and time to feel better have a clear space of mind to get cheddar  
The green type, that's always ripe, with lots of hype
But I wipe away those thoughts momentarily  
Since having a peace of mind is a rarity  
It's easier to think bad than to think merrily  
Speculating the fastest ways to get prosperity 
Instead of finding new ways to give charity 
Human sin is hereditary 

But let me switch back 
Uplift more than the rear door of a hatchback 
Paint a pretty scenery like looking at lilacs  
Slowing down my muscles as if they're on ice packs 
Crossing off complications like I'm playin' tic tac toe 
Freeing my mental to write more poetry than Edgar Allan Poe  
Disconnecting so much that life is a tv show  
Not a cast member, just observing on the low 
Laying back and watching like a couch potato 
My brain's a moldable chunk of Play-doh 
I'ma make it a masterpiece like a sculptor turned pro 
I will rise and grow faster than baking dough 
But for now I'ma lie down seeming fatal  
Palm trees with the same color of a clear sky  
Painted as if it were sprayed by blue dye 
Chillin' so well I call myself a coo guy 
Sun beating down my skin now it's fish-fried 
I wonder if I'm letting another day go by 
Wasting the time I have left before I go bye bye 
Will I make a change felt all across the Earth 
Be a part of something that truly shows my worth  
Wanna repay my debt before I'm buried in dirt  
Uncovering solutions like unbuttoning shirts 
Unresponsive to b.s. like I'm chemically inert 
Lounging in a noble lifestyle for a while  
Gas myself up enough to run a mile  
But I remain in place, relaxed face, stuck to sand like it's paste 
Healing like I'm in a brace caught up like I'm food in braces 
I ain't sticking around in this brief stasis  
Trapped in a hole before I make my aces 
Filling up that hole to cover all of my bases  
Imagining new places to go 
Meeting new faces toe to toe 
Or shoulder to shoulder 
The sun set allows the day to turn colder 
Stress has been cleansed like a facial toner 
At the end of the day there's a lot going on for me 
But at least I can go memorize blue palm trees

Lyrics:
I’m a killer on the mic 
Light work like a hike 
Cycle through like a bike 
Collect tolls no turnpike 
Body audio right 
Whether day or at night 
I’ll give a quick fright 
Ready to take a bite 

Hungry for some action 
Eating all the rations  
Gather funds for a butler and a mansion 
Take time as to not end up crashin’ 
Rhymes are weapons and I be slashin’  
No dine and dashin’, I’ma take it to the chin 
With much to pay for, I’ve committed my sins 
I’m a true rare breed, like identical twins 
Got dimes and backspin, when I’m close to the rim 
As in close to the edge, on the perimeters 
Poppin’ off loud, I’ma need a limiter  
So popular, approached by distributors 
Crime rising, I’m the main contributor  
Creepin’ up y’all thoughts from the ears 
Building up the shock to my peers 
Suspense giving knocks to your fears 
Might need to lock hold of someone dear 
Feeling stalked, I’m near 
Like I’m in the mirror  

Murder every beat in a serial manner 
Deranged and crazed, I’m as mad as a hatter 
Talk small, would rather speak lyrical chatter 
ESTP is my Myers, got Michael thinking I’m badder 
 
On the chase  
At a slow pace  
Mask off my face 
Invade the space 
My tongue distaste 
I rap filthy  
Everybody’s taste 
8000 milly  
Leave a long trace 
Songs bump, hilly 
Leave fans defaced 
How I rhyme silly 
Having me embraced 
Yet my heart chilly 
With tracks laced 
Fans rock Millie 

Leaving producers devastated  
How I slaughter beats, it’s premeditated  
Got my first degree ‘cuz I’m dedicated 
2nd to no one, skills are incubated  
Give birth to tracks like I gestated 
Don’t mess with hesitation, we just dated 
It was a messy scene as I just stated 
Catch waves easy, nightmares penetrated

LIO - STALKED (Prod. Wavesy) [Demo Version]

Written by LIO & OIL 
[Lyrics]
Everyday in disbelief while I’m watching the news  
Information coming quick, with little time to choose 
Determining which side to reprimand and which to boost 
Figuring out what’s true and what’s truly a ruse 
Bombarding my view, like they just lit the fuse 
Wish all the bad in life could take more time to hit snooze 
So many catastrophic conflicts introduced 
Oppression and segregation are ways that they were produced  
Endless fighting with no indication of a truce 
Red blood spilled, I’m immersed in the blues 
I could never understand what it’s like to walk in their shoes 
Treated subhuman, like they’re caged up in a zoo 
It keeps happening, like it’s set up as a standard rule 
With innocents taken and lost, I think we all lose 
Wanna fix the issues, learn to use the right tools 
To make strides and reduce all the repetitive abuse
Disasters made naturally and ones man-made 
Relief coming slow, and it’s constantly delayed 
In that time they’ve already dug up groves of graves 
For others and themselves, so many plots it’s a maze 
Calling out for the loved ones missing or slayed  
The ones never found and the ones personally laid  
Tears flowing immense, how waterfalls cascade 
Enough to fill an ocean of sadness and rage 
It’s awful that some people can’t access aid  
I can see how their hopes get rapidly decayed 
Removed from their insides like they were fish-filleted 
Toxic fumes coloring the air, looks more gray 
I’m fearful that there won’t be many survivors saved 
The threat of more destruction should make us all afraid  
Sad to see how these atrocities get okay-ed 
Sadder to see how quick our memories just fade away 
This ain’t the first time, probably not the last 
History repeats itself, showing our future from the past
Hope we can learn so we never again let this pass
Tuned in and really asked myself “is it real” 
Seeing how all these injustices are concealed  
Or justified like their judgements get no appeals 
While the freedoms of the people end up sealed 
These leading bodies stack up bodies like they’re doing builds 
These things are more trash than a land full of landfills 
I know there’s layers to these conflicts, they need to be peeled 
‘Cuz they're putting civilians in desolated battlefields  
Action & retaliation ends with too many killed 
How do the parties affected really think and feel 
The victims don’t get a chance to rest or heal 
Be refugees or hostages, they’re given the worse deals 
Complete destruction with little chance to rebuild 
People running for the hills, while death is at their heels 
No protection, parents use their bodies as shields 
Despite that, a lot injured & murdered are kids still 
They’re just kids, some babies 
Barely had a chance to live 
These types of things need more shine 
More sour than sweet in the light of the lime 
Not glorifying it, just the spotlight kind 
The ones lighting the spots for the people to find 
All the help and support to stop these acts in time 
How it’s playing out is the opposite of fine 
Onwards, yet it feels like we’re in a rewind 
Like some people left their moral compasses behind 
Fast forwarding is common to our minds 
Onlookers watching populations decline 
These apply to me, these criticisms are all mine  
While these groups of people end up caught up in a bind  
Their steps could be their last like they’re walking on fields of mines
I can’t imagine seeing my friends and family dyin’ 
We can make an impact to stop the source of our cryin’ 
Straighten out our visions to be way more aligned  
Activism on the ground and some more online 
Protesting for change with our voices and our signs 
Find resolutions to cease all of the firing 
Donate responsibly so change ain’t just divine 
Make paths so relief efforts won’t be denied 
Stay informed, don’t let your mind be confined 
Stop generalizing, throw out the hate in your minds 
Pause all displays of humanitarian crimes 
To the point we shut it down and make it benign

[Lyrics]
Put in the work, like birds I soar 
Stock up on skills, there’s much in store  
Sight to the top, got my eye sore 
Dream on the spot, my body snores 
But my mind don’t 
 
Always active, making new quotes 
Awkward rapping, how do I emote 
Prophylactic, words give me hope  
To avoid the disease of complacency 
A lot more to see than my reality  
Move accordingly to live globally 
Better oversee myself locally 
Where the breeze takes me 
Elevate like trees or my pedigree 
Thrill my ancestry and my posterity  
Be a great MC 
Leave a dope legacy using  dope melodies  
These days I wanna glide, yeah
Be in my truth so I won’t have to live a lie, nah
No more lyin’ around but I still got all my pride, whoa 
Prideful but I still view life from a bird's eye, yeah
Float to the horizon to see a brighter side
It’s a long but fulfilling ride, yeah

Put in the work, like birds I soar 
Stock up on skills, there’s much in store  
Sight to the top, got my eye sore 
Dream on the spot, my body snores 
But my mind don’t 

Humming up a song or a nice note 
Coast through rough waters on my life boat 
Observe and writing down mental notes 

Moving swiftly how the wind moves a feather  
Flocks around but I’m featherless, so we don’t flock together  
Couldn’t fit the measure of the status quo 
Too defiant, speech sounds like a crow 
Self-reliant, trust in where I go  
Fire hydrant, needed for how I flow 
Branch like tridents, get my network to grow 
Grow my net worth then go 
From the hard work I sowed  
Have my songs audible 
Sticking up your hair 
Jack attention with none left to spare 
Owe (sparrow) it to myself, spread like pigeons in air 
They ravin’ (raven), parroting as music blares 
These ain’t my goals, more like strategies 
I want to own my creativity 
Steer my path, captain of my destiny 
Partially, fate still got a hold of me 
I will (owl) fly on ‘til I’m done with my term 
Grind late to early and still get the worm 

Put in the work, like birds I soar 
Stock up on skills, there’s much in store  
Sight to the top, got my eye sore 
Dream on the spot, my body snores 
But my mind don’t

Make a net positive thicker than oats 
Mill (meal) excess off so I’ll have less to tote 
Fortitude so wide make the sky mope
