Just felt like saying some stuff on the new beat by @ichimonji_okinawa
gonna chill more

Lyrics:

Y'know what
Imma just hang back today
Say some things that been on my mind y'know
Nothing too hard, just
Relax a bit

I got some times when I get sick of writing rhymes
And start to envy the simple lives of mimes
Cuz I just can't think of things to say that are original
Just gets harder when I try to keep my temper down to minimal

Had a lot of days with no sleep cuz I was too wired
But that's not today man, I just feel too tired
There was a time I felt like MJ, life felt like a thriller
But now all the episodes are feeling like filler

Nothing going on, my mixtape getting hard to fill
Stagnant music, I feel like I'm just sitting still
I get scared that maybe I'm moving backwards
But I have to keep on, cuz you know you can't take back words

So take a closer listen whenever you record
And make sure you got something that's worth it in store
Cuz sometimes I feel like we all say the same thing
And that's the reason we never hear the telephone ring

Slumped Out

Slumped Out (Prod. Ichimonji)

2016 is coming to a close, so I figured I'd release this track
It's been a good year, coming into music and all.
Look forward to new stuff next year, including a new mixtape (hint: this the first single)
shoutout to @starcloud003 for featuring and @oddwin for the beat

Lyrics:

Gotta pick between, its you or the rap
But I'm just another teen, making music on my laptop
Lately I been feeling old school like a flat top
And I been peeling fakes off my life like my hat top

Regardless though, I feel like I don't got it anymore
Cuz when I go, I feel like I'm not flowing anymore
I see the others and I see what they accomplish
Coulda treated them as brothers, coulda been their new accomplice

So I stay doing all the things I gotta do
So maybe I could one day do the things I wanna do
Well, could young lofi become a trap rapper?
Or is this hip hop and is that moving backward?

Its things like this that get me worried in my mind
And thinking I won't ever make it up to getting signed
But, its out my hands now the dice have been tossed
And no matter the outcome, the love is not lost

I know you had a long day and now its over
I know you come home and wish you weren't sober
The stress is kicking in but you just keep on fighting
No matter what goes on you say its still exciting

All you tell me is the love is not lost
Yeah all you tell me is the love is not lost
You keep on working baby, but at what cost
No matter what, you say the love is not lost

The love is not lost
No matter what, you say the love is not lost
The love is not lost
No matter what, you say the love is not lost

Love Is Not Lost (feat. Starcloud) [Prod. Oddwin]

in my feelings i guess
something had to be done with this beat
beat is originally from ututu by Daoko, so check that out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJwPChFgN0Q

Lyrics:

I woke up one day and I had a weird message
You were hitting up my phone saying that you'd found a passage
And that it'd let us go ahead and leave behind monotony
You said we could get out there and build our own monopoly

But then you switched up, cuz we ain't done it yet
You know I'm down to go, I've got everything to bet
You said its something better, so I need you just to show me
You know I really mean it if you think you really know me

So we can run off and go and start something baby
Lets just run off and go and start something baby
We can run off and go and start something baby
Lets just run off and go and start something baby
We can run off and go and start something baby
Lets just run off and go and start something baby
We can run off and go and start something baby
Lets just run off and go and start something baby

Tell me what happened to everything you thought about
Tell me what happened to all the things we fought about
We were post to run it just like we were Jay and B
Were you just lying baby, were you playing me

Maybe I'm just stupid but you know I still believe
Maybe we could restart, all this pain you could relieve
I don't think you realize the position you still hold
Got a lock up on my heart, and that shit is made of gold

You know I could break it, but thats just worth too much
You know when you broken, I'm coming in too clutch
I'm the only one who'd ever treat you like I do
I'm the only one who'd choose you over his own crew

So we can run off and go and start something baby
Lets just run off and go and start something baby
We can run off and go and start something baby
Lets just run off and go and start something baby
We can run off and go and start something baby
Lets just run off and go and start something baby
We can run off and go and start something baby
Lets just run off and go and start something baby

Run Off

its a blizzard and i haven't freestyled in forever
tory lanez, bless you for not rapping over this part of the beat so i could do a thing with it

Lyrics:

Man this snow really, is really throwing me off
Got a cold, whatever, I'm sick
Ai, imma spit this anyway

When I spit freestyle, thats the only the only time when they care about my shit
Then they look through my other music and realize I been doing all this rap for a bit
Yeah, why you take so long, just to come through and to recognize
If you really listen then you should know, lofi boom bap what I specialize

Yeah

I'm doing it right, they tell me I'm doing it right
But I can't believe em cuz my plays you look at them, they ain't taking flight
I just wish I could do more than I do, I wish I could do more of this for you 
I know I just gotta do what I want, but really its hard when they don't really want

Whatchu doin

loners blvd freestyle

putting my entry into the new season
prod by myself (@g4rrua)

Lyrics:

Life is like a box of Legos you just build it out the pieces
I done spent so much on that I can't even afford leases
So I'm spitting on my beats like there ain't gon be tomorrow
I ain't on no free beat, cuz a guy like me don't borrow

You see me underground yeah you know thats where I burrow
The only way on out if I wanna leave my borough
Y'all call me the pilot, cuz I'm starting up the show
Have fun looking at my ponytail from way back in your row

You cannot compete with me, I'm rap game Olympian
You think that you can talk to me but you sound like a simian
Like Star Wars I'm a trill og (trilogy), but this ain't a prequel
I choke you on the beat, so I think that you should be still

Ru Paul lookin rappers claim they wanna rap up
They asking me for favors but we never dap up
I came out here to eat, so to me this is the pasture
If you really rap, then you gon call this the rapture

Hold up, you thought I was just gonna do 16 on this?
Come on, put the beat back, switch it up

These rappers need blankets like Linus
They all getting up in my sinus
My car and my shawty exotic
Now suddenly I flow bionic

I got a robotic flow, mechanical
So what'd you come to buy? Botanical?
I see right through you like I sprayed you with the Windex
Your shawty hit me up, she ask why I didn't text

And all said to her was 13 percent
Thats what my phone was on, I was in a tent
With some hippie chicks who ain't paying rent
And once I'm bored of it I'll go and repent

Last time I didn't make it past preliminary
This time I brought my own beat its incendiary
Oh hold up, y'all thought I was just producin?
Soon as I got here all your chances got reducin

Its R-Don

lyrics:

I ain't gon give you no discount, you gon be payin me full price
你懂我不跟你玩玩， 我需要 full price
You think we tight and we fam now? You still gon pay full price
Everyone say that I'm heartless, cuz I only take full price

We was cool and now you flaking on the deal
Why you change when just two days ago you thought it was a steal?
I need money just like you do, so you see that's why you payin
If you gonna keep on crying, then I'm sorry, you not stayin

You said you got bands, why now you saying you broke?
I questioned your mans, he said that you'd rather croak
Than pay what you owe, so you'll die for the money?
Boy this ain't a show, all or nothing now sonny

This ain't no charity, my army ain't here for salvation
I see the disparity, between us in your dedication
My prices too high for you? Then go somewhere else
If you act like a scammer too? You just scammed yourself

Get what I'm owed, yeah I'm Corleone, play with the buyer, you call me Sony
I shoot like I'm Kony, make bands with my brodies
I sell for the max, making plays, DJ Dax
You tryna come up off me? Then don't ever relax

I ain't gon give you no discount, you gon be payin me full price
你懂我不跟你玩玩， 我需要 full price
You think we tight and we fam now? You still gon pay full price
Everyone say that I'm heartless, cuz I only take full price

I ain't gon give you no discount, you gon be payin me full price
你懂我不跟你玩玩， 我需要 full price
You think we tight and we fam now? You still gon pay full price
Everyone say that I'm heartless, cuz I only take full price
