Come My Way ft. Krayzie Bone

​[Intro]
​Round and round.
The world keeps spinning, the path is changing.

​[Chorus 1]
​Brave through the maze, I am finding my way,
New routes open wide, I am ready to play.
Embrace the maze, making magic each day,
A vibrant existence in this grand array!
Brave through the maze, I am finding my way,
New routes open wide, I am ready to play.

​[Verse 1]
​Rose bush blossoms open up my path,
Deeper in the moment, living for the laugh.
Now I see the way, I can find the light,
Gaining inner freedom, burning ever bright.
Round and round, yeah, I twist and turn,
Lessons of resilience that I get to learn.
Looking for the exit, but the journey's fun,
Just a mighty player till the victory's won.

​[Chorus 2]
​Brave through the maze, I am finding my way,
New routes open wide, I am ready to play.
Embrace the maze, making magic each day,
A vibrant existence in this grand array!

​[Verse 2]
​Growing with the wind every passing day,
Discovering the route, and the sky is gold.
Day after day, a bright new chapter spins,
Know exactly where it ends, know where it begins.
Now they hear the passion, now they see the soul,
An unstoppable force, taking back control.
Standing right here in plain sight,
I'm connected to the warmth, and I win the fight.

​[Bridge]
​This is my power.
This ever-expanding path.
Honestly...
I see every reason to explore and expand.

​[Chorus 3]
​Brave through the maze, I am finding my way!
New routes open wide, I am ready to play!
Embrace the maze, making magic each day!
A vibrant existence in this grand array!

​[Outro]
​This is where I shine!
This ever-expanding path!
Grand array!
Day by day!

Lyrics
[Chorus]
How come I can't do what fuck I want do
How come, how come
Tryna get this skraight no damn hot comb through
How come, how come
Weavin' through the naps, dreams been on hold
since my cradle hit the flo
tender head, my denim skrong
Yea, yea, yea, yeaaaaaah

[Verse 1: Cam O'bi]
Remember when I was a kiddo
growin' up in the middle
windows lining my smile, silver teeth underneath my pillow
a nigga had a nappy head like a Brillo pad
sister said I need to do somethin' about them beedy-beed naps
snackin' on Andy Capp's with a pickle and a quarter water
walked in the barbershop asked me what I wanted 
I told that man I wanted to look like Superman,
but when he had the long hair
you know, kinda like Michael Jackson?
The damn barber just started laughin'.
I cried as he gave me that bald fade.
Afro puffs hit the flo', symbolic of shedding my innocense
I guess I thought they were magicians or alchemists
or mathematicians 
with algebraic calculus algorithms designed to cure me of my nappiness
like a perm burned off my happiness
I sat silently acquiescent
pitfalls of adolescence 
spitballs and scrabble sessions and tattle-tales
playing around in the hallway like one of Santa's elves
"You wanna goto jail?" 
"Hell naw, mister security!", got sent to the principal for my potty mouth 
talkin' bout some "give me your number so we can call the house" 
but gimme got shot, so the ink staining my record now
you pull a comb thru my afro that shit'll crackle like a bowl full of Rice Krispies
rollin' my innocence in a cigarillo like

[Chorus]
How come I can't do what fuck I want do
How come, how come
Tryna get this skraight no damn hot comb through
How come, how come
Weavin' through the naps, dreams been on hold
since my cradle hit the flo
tender head, my denim skrong
How come, how come
How come I can't say what fuck I want say
How come, how come
Tender braids, but I can't make my eyes rain
How come, how come
Yanked straight from my naps, dead on my comb
When my cradle hit the flo' 
Tender head, my genes on swole
Yea, yea, yea, yeaaaaaaah

[Verse 2: Smino]
I don't wanna sing the
Star-spangled banner, 'less it's produced by David Banner
elbows on the lunch table, eatin on a gravy sammich 
lil' nigga no table manna's
crazy it attracted shawty's 
on the back of the bus gettin' neck had a knack fuh noggin'
lil' nick at nighttime
googlin' booty, beauty illusions polluted and deep-rooted in my mind
my block was a rubix
anywhere you turned, the shit was hot around the clock 
and they could not ice cube it
damn
mama I don't like this school shit, 
fuck a logarithm, I'll log into the music
damn
daddy I don't like this school shit
I beat the desk until my knuckles bleed
all my teachers think I'm challenged mentally
but my mental skrong, know who I wanna be,
instantly began a surgery
bada-bing, voila!, made wings wit the words Hallelujah, yah bitch, yah!
all my blessings came when I accepted I'm not y'all
I been put it down the line like laundry
they told find something more concrete
now a lil' nigga breakin' concrete
praises to God I ain't no convict
they'll never take away my confidence

[Chorus]
How come I can't do what fuck I want do
How come, how come
Tryna get this skraight no damn hot comb through
How come, how come
Weavin' through the naps, dreams been on hold
since my cradle hit the flo
tender head, my denim skrong
How come, how come
How come I can't say what fuck I want say
How come, how come
Tender braids, but I can't make my eyes rain
How come, how come
Yanked straight from my naps, dead on my comb
When my cradle hit the flo' 
Tender head, my genes on swole
Yea, yea, yea, yeaaaaaaah

Tyler Thomas | Los Angeles, CA

Some talent is effortless, and that’s definitely the case for football player-turned-rapper Tyler Thomas.

Still a perfectionist, he puts every ounce of effort into quality songwriting, even impressing Pusha-T with his pen game.

Tyler’s cadence always captures the pocket and his style is a throwback to ‘90s hip-hop, or in his own words, “a refreshing smack in the face with lyrical funk.”

With natural ability like his, there’s no telling how far he’ll go.
