being broke in america is unnatural

LYRICS : 

I been livin off delusion 
Cuz I heard its healthy 
Pockets growing
Labels talkin 
Hoes been far from stealthy 
I'm still slightly flyin under radars 
I practice like its playoffs 
I lay brick a day I'm out here tryna build the Great Wall of yours truly 
I need more groupies 
And less people tryna get a cut 
Put your fuckin hands back in your pockets 
man you said enough 
Conversation over 
Lately I've been celebrating 
Hardly ever sober 
True squad generals
No room for soldiers 
I gotta classic debut right here chillin in my holster 
My shoulders got the weight of my world on them 
And her world 
And his world
And your world on them
I need a Venezuelan 
Or my afghani chick from dc 
To come fuck with my campaign
And treat me presidential 
Leave the politics at home 
It's strictly lewinski 
Then it's back to tryna get a buzz like 50
Cup full of whiskey just to level out 
I only keep kings around me Sacramento style 
You needa elevate your life 
You've been livin lateral 
Get you a passion 
Put some dreams in a catapult 
Being broke in America is unnatural 
I'm just givin you facts 
You start givin ideas 
They start givin you cash 
You start poppin a little 
They start givin you daps 
You sing a couple fucking hooks and they start givin you ass
But I'm not mad at the slightest 
The public praises you for what you practice in private 
You've been cordially invited 
To my showin out party 
Reminds me of LA when we had cases of Bacardi 
Jars of marijuana 
Rooftop was the lobby
Too young for that money 
So the girls got wobbly 
They want the whole crew like motley 
That was right before 21 
I been fuckin the world 
I'm bout to make the money come 
Fuck what yall got 
Yall squares time is up because I watched you let the ball drop 
One too many times 
I been hidin out in Brooklyn 
I got too comfortable
I had to rearrange the cushions 
Get in touch with my chakras 
Pop Pop just died 
I fell in love with some vodka 
Fell out with ex 
Then back in love with some vodka 
My half brother jimmy 
Showed up at the wake 
Hadn't seen him since 97 
What the fuck do I say 
He's got some baby mamma issues
shits been ugly 
She's tryna take him down 
Raisin money with gofundme 
Damn 
On top of that heroine took my best friend 
He hits me up to blow L's 
I'm just tryna get m's 
And hoes comin out the woodworks 
They see ya boy building
So they tryna get this woodwork 
If you tan with an accent
Ummm it could work

i became who i looked up to when i was 7
 
LYRICS:

Bumping my old shit for perspective
I became who I looked up to when I was 7
And that's a win in my book
Your girl loves the way I'm singing my hooks
But lift the veil up
I got raps that'll go over your head like a hijab
And I gotta French girl who says she loves my Jena sa qua
I got the type of problems that a Bentley can't solve
Well maybe one fuck ignore that there's been henny involved
You trendy that's all
You won't make it past the next 5
You don't got enough product your fans are lookin for the next high
In walks the next guy
With a stash that'll last
Way longer than that mid that you sayin is gas
I'm not chasing the cash
But some more zeros would be lovely
In the meantime I'm just tryna get the whole world to love me
It's funny how they say that's too ambitious of me
I think it's funny how yall sounding like some bitches to me
Wishes can be more than wishes if you wish em to be
I mean want em to be
I mean act on em
And out comes the piranha in me
Sinking my teeth in my dreams until reality bleeds
Waking up is motivation
I know the basics and then some
I got more clips then 10 guns when the Feds come
Fuck lookin fresh
I'm tryna look unassuming
If your eyes are in your pockets stop lookin towards my movement
I move with a certain type of bravado
Ya girl loves me like Jamaica loves mavado
Moscato is a little too weak I need something stronger
You sound like McDonald's
I sound like Benihana
Flip flip flip flip
Work work work work
I've been juggling juggling
Work work work work
I've been bubbling bubbling
Work work work work
Imma star oooo I'm bout to
Burst burst burst burst

Piranha Freestyle (Prod. Russ)

young ones on they shit. no excuses. 

LYRICS :

I get my inspiration from my own potential
Fuck yo taste I know what's hot I got my own credentials
I'm goin crescendo 
Off my own instrumentals 
So I don't want your beats 
Im in the game you're in the stands 
I don't want your seats 
I'm heatin up 
Peep my numbers 
Discovered around the world like Columbus 
I'm the one it's been determined by my confidence 
Always down to politic like show me what the offer is 
Buzz startin to build like who brought russ into the offices? 
Accomplishments been stacking kinda nicely as of late 
But I'm tryna get this flyin to get this dyin to get this cake 
Coulda signed and been on tour with your favorite independent 
But imma boss and a boss respects that 
I'll be patient for my entrance 
Cuz the quicker you come in 
Is the quicker that you exit 
The more you fight the process 
Is the less you really let it 
Unfold how its spose to 
But lemme pause the coachin cuz my Spanish chick just rolled thru 
Don't get cold feet baby I know you got on snow shoes 
But come here lemme coax you
Got a little liquor and I guess that we can smoke too 
I tried to put her on but she don't believe enough 
She ain't that rough she ain't a rider she's not eve enough 
But she's naive enough 
To make me get unruly
Make me wanna kick her out my car like I was Gucci 
But I'm George clooney in oceans eleven 
I'm tryna pull this caper off 
Smirk at all the skeptics 
Piss all of my neighbors off 
And by neighbors I mean peers 
And by peers I mean people who doubted me over the years 
Cuz I was livin out their fears 
This is that no excuses 
Make a movement or get lapped 
I couldn't do a 9-5 I felt like that was just a trap 
I'm not racing round with rats for a little piece of cheese 
Imma build my own factory 
Retire at 33 
I'm just rhyming on an island just tryna get this motherfucking GUAP

Lapped (Prod. Russ)

maybe you can be somebody...

LYRICS : 

Maybe you can be somebody
Something outside of the party
You run around the streets like all day
You cant do that and complain
But maybe you can be somebody
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Lately i been feelin like
This what i been workin towards
If you aint tryna be the boss
Then tell me what you workin for
Certain doors were closed but now they opening up
Celebratin with some shots
Maybe poke on a couple sluts
Russells up next and i got this
Crazy like Britney and her loves so toxic
Got a wall up im tryna infilitrate her conscious
Takin 12 shots like where the cops is 
Come on 

You aint gotta sell yo sex baby
I know that you tryna get a check baby
But you got talents you should pursue
You pushed me out when i pushed you
You aint gotta sell yo sex baby
I know that you tryna get a check baby
But you got talents you should pursue
You pushed me out when i pushed you

Maybe you can be somebody
Something outside of the party
You run around the streets like all day
You cant do that and complain
But maybe you can be somebody
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

I only see you when im drunk and lonely, lonely 
Dont take it to serious 
You dont know me, know me 

Ride around Atlanta got drugs in the back like a pharmacy
Thoughts clogged up like an artery 
Out all night like you homeless
You a dog so you go where the bone is
And a house aint a home 
Unless that house is where the dope is
So you trappin tryna not lose focus 
On what the end goal is
Hood presidents are compelling 
Even if they all felons now you hopeless but

Maybe you can be somebody
Something outside of the party
You run around the streets like all day
You cant do that and complain
But maybe you can be somebody
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 


Be Somebody (Prod. Russ)

imma be here forever...

LYRICS : 

So many people blowing smoke
It's getting too cloudy
It's kinda funny watching you you and you doubt me
I'm going where I'm going
Ain't nobody stopping that
Shooting for the stars
This is barely me cocking back
I put in work what you think they're cheering russ for
Taking short cuts could have your whole career cut short
One more month or
Definitely by spring
Imma be a millionaire
Turnin thoughts into things
Couple thots couple tings
Doesn't matter I'm the tin man
Nothing frees the pain like some tanqueray gin can
And I hope you playin chess and not checkers
I know that's your best
I hope you know you need to do better
I hope you see the scarlet letter on your wifeys sweater
She acted single when she was with me she let me do whatever
But fuck the love and affection
I got this buzz that I'm building
I just want plugs and connections
I swear I'm drunk off the feeling
Of being me
Aint nobody bout to sober me up
Understand me everybody's looked over me once
I got this chip on my shoulder
I got this voice that's inside me
That's yellin ain't nobody colder
Dare somebody to try me
I'm comin thru with that real shit
Popping without a deal shit
I play against myself
I'm on some steel sharpens steel shit
Cuz ain't no competition
Only my potential
I don't even have to rap
I could be rich off instrumentals
Making other people stars
But I figured I should shine too
The games got her legs open
I figured I should slide thru
Now people round the world confirming all my prophecies
Name your favorite rapper I got double their discography
So add an apostrophe to anything you offer me
You need me I don't need you so just watch how you talk to me
It's comedy watchin how the game goes
Industry plants use steroids
So as far as hall of fame goes
Y'all got an asterik
And ain't no getting past it
We all rapped to get here you were just wrapped up in plastic
And shoved down the masses gullet
I see your card imma pull it
We don't believe you
You need real people
It's all good tho I'm off it
Cliq full of young prophets
Like we all go by Muhammed
Its amazing what can happen when you
follow your instincts
So in sync with myself
They gon give ya boy bands
Like NYSNC
I want wealth
I want Grammys
I want 100 foreign girls in just panties
I want you to stop being so scared to be you
I want all your dreams to turn into reality too
It could happen if you want it
Cuz dreams deferred turn into nightmares
And I don't think you wanna be haunted
I gotta lot to accomplish
Further than mmmmm boppin
No disrespect to hanson
But longevitys my anthem
Faith is my companion
My doubt got abandoned
My devil stills dancin
In a house in the Hamptons
Momma still waitin on her beach front mansion
And she still mad at dad cuz the money's been random
It's been tighter than the tension in this room
It's been the coldest summer ever and the winters comin soon
But don't worry I'm gonna make the snow melt
The prize will be peace like a Nobel
Imma be on covers with one hand on my balls like I'm Odell
I never let nobody ride my coat tails
Living outta duffle bags
iTunes checks lotta hotels
Only time I lose is when I blow L's
Go tell whoever got the game on lock
That I got the key
Man my train don't stop
I gonna be
Here for forever
Longevity

Set the city to flames

Understand That Too (Feat. Bugus) (Prod. Russ)

everybody...

LYRICS : 

Laid back contemplating chess moves
Life heating up I just need someone to vent to
Cup full of stress so I'm sippin like the rents due
Dialing the number for my visions hope I get thru
10 2 seaters in the driveway
Chains on everybody
Welcome to the ice age
Murdering the moment makes me money I guess crime pays
You probably have to leave your state to change your mind state
Blind dates with my journey everyday I wake up
Runnin thru these hoes
Never trippin keep it laced up
Cuz all of them got cardboard signs
Saying save us
But after the last one I chose to hang the cape up
Focused on myself
Ain't no time for distractions
Sometimes I can't believe it all
Like how'd the hell this happen
Gotta keep it movin tho
Ain't no time to look around
Jab you with the raps
Then knock you out when I bring the hook around

Everybody here I am
Everybody here I am
Tanqueray cups got me woozy
Posted up lookin for some floozies
Devils get up off me like Boosie
Imma always keep my first hoopty

Imma pro juggler lately my life's a circus
I spent about 10k on purses
And every cent was worth it
Once i saw her eyes light up
It's me myself and I who the fuck wanna fight us
Dreams overlapping now
Lines keep blurring
Drunk off my accomplishments
I keep slurring
And nowadays my contact list
Is stocked with enough weapons
That I'm pointin at the game like bomb that shit
Saddam that shit
And bring me back the loot
Hit the dealership
Go head and bring me back a coupe
I ain't got no time to hang
These hoes are lookin like a noose
And I ain't got no time for exes let alone an excuse

Everybody here I am
Everybody here I am
Tanqueray cups got me woozy
Posted up lookin for some floozies
Devils get up off me like Boosie
Imma always keep my first hoopty

Hold up 
I don't hear you talkin when I roll up 
Where's that shit you poppin when I roll up 

Here I Am (Prod. Russ)

lets play whos gon be here in a decade...

LYRICS : 

I'm cool on your opinion of my strategy
Phone full of women all mad at me
Cuz they ain't on my mind like they use to
Cuz I ain't got the time that I use to
Money tight as usual but it's cool because it's comin
And I don't ever follow yo strut
I don't ever follow money
I just follow my gut
Now they followin russ
Yea ya boys gettin bigger now
Yall careers dying start pouring out the liquor now
Been at this since 06
Before it started bein cool to drop albums with no hits
I'm out here comin for all of it
I want all the acknowledgment
I want all the accomplishments
I want cars that's astonishing
Plus the house that my mamas in
Should be big as a continent
I make good on my promises
50 bitches to party with
Man the world is my audience
I'm just tryna give my statement
Billboard from a basement
The type of focus where you wonder where the day went
But do it all again
How to be a millionaire
It's getting harder to call a friend
Too many hidden agendas
You 50/50 with your character
My life is on the line
So theres gon always be a barrier
Between me and most
I never let em too close
With the girls it's no different
I can't be fallin for hoes
That's why I keep to myself
I stay recording tryna upgrade
My life to the nights full of lights cash and runways
I haven't had a Monday since 18
I knew in high school I could go pro like KG
Lately it's been lookin like I made the right decision
Found my way outta the dark I gotta flash light vision
If her ass right but the face left
Then I'm dippin
I needa chick 3 for 3 like pippen
Hang my jersey up
It's worthy of the rafters
I know their game I ain't worried bout these rappers
It's too predictable now
It's so political now
And Im sorry if I sound a little cynical now
It's just that most my favorite rappers are invisible now
Everyday I make a song that's just habitual now
Ain't nobody gonna do it like me
Ain't nobody gonna fill the void I see but me so here I go
12 shots
Like the cops now I'm wasted
It's in the blood of America to be racist
Land of the taken
Home of the cover it all up and don't say shit
Act like it ain't happen
Cut copy paste it
And put it on every channel doesn't matter if you change it
I'm off it tho
It ain't where I've gone
It's where I've gotta go
I tell these local girls what they wanna know
Never fuck em twice cuz I won't be there to catch em
Self belief and a passion this is the natural reaction
I just be singing these ballads
Like a Yung Mike Bolton
Sprewell with the raps
Tho like russ might choke him
Keep a few eyes open
I'm everywhere I'm omnipresent
Wired with the drive of a bugatti engine
I've been running non stop since 14
Ain't no time to slow up
Man I need more beats
Even tho I got 500 sittin in a playlist
I'm startin to realize that the money won't change shit
I'm startin to realize that yalls basic ain't my basic
On the plane to the A making a list of all the shit matters
Yalls opinions didn't make it
Bout to be a A list celebrity
Wife me up a singer
Hope she gotta accent
Hope she drinks liquor
Board of advisors I can count on 4 fingers
Leave the middle one open
To let you know I ain't sweet
Been a shepherd my whole life
I can't relate to the sheep
It's a shame you asleep
But I'm about to make your bed shake
Bow down to me I'm the sensei
Let's play who's gon be here in a decade
Lotta yall are barely even making it to the next day

10 Year Freestyle (Prod. Russ)

my streak is impossible to break....

LYRICS : 

Tours overseas
Couple million on the table
By the time I'm 24 I'll be sellin out staples
I got big plans
Sing and rap
I can switch hands
Crossover killer
Labels know that I'm the hitman
Women all on me
Tryna give me sex favors
Take your clothes off you're a starter not a bench player
Then I gotta go
I won't say I'm heartless
But after dating hoes
I began to use my heart less
Had to pump the brakes
Cuz my drive got GPS
Sometimes I feel like the only real genius left
I'm tryna hit the blunt with Snoop on GGN
Even my blind hoe say she wanna see me win
Even my ex girl got my old CD in
Rotation you gon wish you didn't leave me when
I go and cop a little mazzi maybe cut the roof off
Cuz I'm all about the drop like EDM
I got my first arena show
I'm on the flight there now
I use to dream about the life that I'm livin right now
Makin money in abundance
Cuz I do so much for free
I don't work for the money
I make the money work for me
But the family going through it
That's a lotta my stress
Momma asking where's my iTunes and Spotify checks
It's funny cuz she use to ask when I was goin back to classes
Now I'm paying off her debts off of melodies and raps
It's fun takin south beach trips every month
Spend a mortgage on my sister by the time we eat lunch
Just to let her know no matter what her big bro got her
No dudes can trick on her
No Harlem globetrotters
Entry into my circle is more selective than a Rhodes scholar
Ship is sailing already so don't bother
But I do business
So if it makes sense
We can talk change
Just play your role and do it well just be like John Wayne
I'm Tom Hanks except I always remain captain
In Atlanta I don't dance but I always remain snappin
Cash in quantity
In less than a year I dropped your favorite rappers entire discography
I did every single beat
I mixed every single song
Walked in as the opener
But turned it to sing a long
Rapping on my beats got it sounding like a gospel
I take my hotel rooms and I turn em to a brothel
Women in rotation
Made it out the basement
Bank account lookin like a fucking donation
No amazement
I been patient
I've been cookin for so long I swear that I can taste it
This is laced with
Yung DiMaggio
My streak is impossible to break
Dropping hits everytime I'm at the plate
I might go away soon tho
Strategize the debut
Link with label
I see y'all playin I'm tryna play too

Just know I know what I'm doing and Imma always call the shots...


DiMaggio (Prod. Russ)

you know they always show up late....

LYRICS : 

Honolulu views sippin on some fresh guava
Bumping always knew and thinkin bout my next comma
I put my thoughts into the world until they come true
You chase women I'm the one that they run to
Russ moves smart this is something you could learn from
Rappers pay attention maybe you can finally earn something
Low overhead I don't need other people
Cuz everybody on my team is two other people
Multi faceted
I remember imagining
Livin how I'm livin
Now everything is extravagant
Jets rolexs new women new deals
Can't let a fake game try to tell you who's real
Cuz they gon try to but you gotta see thru shit
You don't have to sell your soul I'm the proof this is
Millionaire weed
Kush like Regis
I sound like an angel
And I look like Jesus
That's what the women tell me
Fuck it imma run with it
You ain't gonna get the throne back until I'm done with it
Money flow like water
Yea I'm getting Fiji checks
I'm huge in Honolulu
No wonder why Kiki (waikiki) left
I'm detached from anything y'all attached too
I'm in n out with my groupies like fast food
Who's the greatest say Russ when they ask you
I sell out shows quick enough to always add two
I laugh too cuz some promoters are slackin
But shoutout Cara Lewis always gets me a backend
Meaning you can sleep but we got that covered
You blew up in the spring and you were gone that summer
Money at my feet life's a cake walk
They love me out in Asia you would think I made K Pop
Too many j kwons
Not enough Raekwon's
Rappers use the same beat and flow and make the same song
I swear the last few months have been the best few months
I cant wait to see what happens in the next few months
And I can tell you only come around when success does
You only check for me when a check does
Ten blunts couldn't get you higher than me
Cuz I'm high off becoming what I aspired to be
You outdated like shirts by ed Hardy
You know they always show up late to the best party
