Chorus:
I wonder where the time went
I wonder why my mind’s bent
I wonder why my retina’s connected to the nebula
But only gets the message from 
The fine print

I wonder what the stars say
Sending wishes our way
I wonder about connections
And if my perceptions
Are medicines or weapons 
For my heartache

Verse 1:
Thinking about the old nights
I thought that I would miss it
Existed there my whole life
On a rock in the Pacific
But see the stars are the limit
Fuck the laws we invented
Cuz we’re all here to get it
Imma ball till the finish
Fuckin raw when I spit it
Cuz I’m gone in a minute
Write my story on a wall in hieroglyphics

Chorus 

Verse 2:
What happened to the free thinkers?
We’re taught to be employees
Brainwashed by our own teachers
Who be caught inside the whole scheme
Aint no white picket fences
We’ve got tight debt expenses
Live in fright no exceptions
It aint right to accept it
Imma fight with the message
And re-write all the sections
And in time redefine all our old dreams

Chorus

Verse 3:
If I could write a letter send it to my homeland
I would have to write it from perspectives of a grown man
Don’t listen to the fat dudes
Who tell you what you can’t do
You’ll get exactly where you wanna go man
And even though our options seemed limited
Cuz trying to bring yourself up was prohibited
Support your own dreams
But never quit being modest
And I promise
That you’ll realize you’re infinite

Lyrics

Chorus:
I’ve been scared to take a chance my whole life
Afraid that I might end up all alone
I stare into the mirror say it’s alright
Cuz me myself and I is all I’ve known

Verse I:
I’m sorry I can’t come to the phone right now
I’m in the zone right now
Gotta just be on my own right now
Said it’s on right now
Turn all lights down
Afraid of the things that my soul writes down
But fear is what made me
No matter how crazy it all Might sound
What’s our deepest fear?
To exist right here and be no one or,
Be someone that’s something but no one would love
We choose to be less simply because we're accepting the things that surround us but
The things surrounding us drowning us how?
Because all of us do what it does
Thus
We're beaming and scheming for all our dreams then
We freeze and we never do budge 
Trust
Our deepest fear is not that we’re inadequate
The weakness that we feel is our abandonment
To dreams we know that deep inside we're passionate
Though it seems that when we reach we’re never grasping it
The fact that if 
We put it on the line let our light shine people laugh at it
I react and get resentful my mental defend to no end I'm attacking it
Just balance it
Get passed it with passion unmask the treasure
You’ll conquer the greatest of fears
that your soul has the power that nothing can measure 

(Chorus)

Verse II:
I’m a man now
Gotta the best that I can now
Ain’t cruising no copping no hand outs
I wanna fit in, but I stand out
The truth is I gotta just do this excuses are useless I swear that I ran out
It's foolish to choose not to make any moves cuz you lose automatic if you back out
What's the plan now?
Damn how 
Life, calls me out on my bluffs
I’m working my body is hurting, it’s rocky uncertain and hardly enough
I’m not even scratching the surface
The fact that I’m nervous
This acting is worthless
We're Trapped in a furnace
The passion'll burn it's like 
Asking for purpose
Why wasn't it us?
But shit 
I know it’s tough
Most of us had a slow start
No holds barred
Gotta go hard
Even though this game is getting so dark
I'm so scared
I know that
Make a choice don't go back
Bet if you don’t take a step you goin live with regret and she’ll never console that
I'm trying to figure out what’s wrong and right
Some’ll lose their vision while the others run to light
Such is life
It’s all a part of living
The art of worth is in you 
Here's the brush its your decision...

Fear

Scholar:
I used to watch my Momma often making pasta in and out of jobs while my Poppa was a plumber and a copper. 
Doing what he gotta, but I wish he’d drop the chopper 
We're from a small town and that job is causing drama. 
Dreams of racking commas, but it seems there ain’t nirvana. 
Need to scheme it if I wanna 
Need to leave and skip this saga 
Leeched from different parts of my whole being to get me farther 
I’ve lived and played the parts in movie scenes from different genres, 
I watched my father and I knew was a lonely man 
Always working I was certain that's his only friend 
Aint no jokes he never talked with folks just only fam 
I used to think I wasn't like him but now I know I am 
He told me you a fool if you follow crowds 
And slacking off in school boy just wasn’t allowed 
And that the world is goin be cruel, but we ain't never bowed 
Poppa was a real man, straight up imma 
Say it proud 

Kahea Prem: 
Where ever you go there’s struggle waiting 
Just know that those who love you 
Take it step by step through progressions 
Right next to you throughout lessons 
You’re blessed it's true there’s no questions 
So don't stop growing 

Scholar:
Poppa was from LA moved us to the 808 
For a minute everything was food stamps and layaway 
Told me that I promise that the struggle doesn’t fade away 
Thomas know I love you that’s the reason why I stay awake 
My momma had a habit but she kicked that 
Used to be an addict but she quit that 
She told me Life ain’t never giving hand outs 
That’s why the plan’s now for me to go and get that 
Back when we were kids my sis gave up her chance to dance so I could go play some ball 
Never understood that we had to pay in advance and we were always short on cash we couldn't pay for it all 
As I’m getting older I see my people go to sell grams 
Pops told me get them scholarships and pell grants 
There's darkness boy regardless of where hell stands 
And how you deal is what’s gonna set you as a Real man 
There's always goin be fakeness people Emulate 
Drop them you don’t need their asses anyway 
If you wanna score them buckets then you penetrate 
And overcome your ego better set it straight 
I meditate on life as the time turns 
About relationships and all the bridges I've burned 
Mistakes that turned lessons many I’ve learned 
Pops was a real man 
Thank now it’s my turn 

Chorus  
Where ever you go there’s struggle waiting 
Just know that those who love you 
Take it step by step through progressions 
Right next to you throughout lessons 
You’re blessed it's true there’s no questions 
So don't stop growing 

Shing02
You know I can’t teach you a purpose 
Gotta feel with epidermis and the lessons stowed in surplus 
But now I understand that you can’t give an example 
When you haven’t had a sample or a taste of the real life 
It’s nothing sweet but kinda salty with the sweat, 
Percolating dripping down my forehead 
Too busy to wipe it down like a frown 
That’s a thought, well should I write it down? 
Before it disappears like a thousand other bubbles 
Rising to the surface then it pops 
Sometimes I look at albums like I’m listening to albums 
And the needle hits the silence and it stopped 
Realize I’m just as old as the photos and the covers 
On the shelf but when I touch it I can feel it in the breath again 
Clearly I’m reminiscing when I see you so don’t take it personal 
When I seem like I’m in outer space, ain’t going nowhere 
I’m orbiting, watching over you from the soyuz 
Granted it’s a limited sliver or a slice everyday 
But enough to keep me going, the silver lining 
Inside the cloudy jacket I’m wearing plus the patch that I wear, proudly 
Over my left pocket rocking your name, by far 
My biggest accomplishment that keeps growing, 
And it reminds me I got a bit of growing to do too 
And the fact that I’m ahead never been a real excuse to 
Be a man like I’m supposed to… be 
Be the man that I’m supposed to… be 
Be a man like I’m supposed to… be 
Be the man that I’m supposed to… be 



Real Man (Ft. Shing02, Kahea Prem & Nicholas Kaleikini) Prod. P.Soul

Verse I (Scholar):
Everyday I tell myself you gotta trust what you believe in
But see it's hard so many changes I think my hope is fleeting
So many dying 
I wonder why man I can't find a reason
But ain't no time I'm in my mind I gotta fight my demons
And it just seems like every single thing is falling apart
Forgot the dream we're steady scheming now 
Don't follow our heart
Pop's a policeman I told him please man don't get lost in the part
He said to shine the light of peace then gotta cross through the dark
Forget the world me and my girl we're stuck in complications
It seems like every conversation turns to confrontation 
I just think back on stars we're gazing
We'd get lost in constellations
Now we're harsh with connotations 
We done lost our calm and patience
Up and down like oscillations 
At the trough of sadness
We're caught in stress the quest to reach the crest
To plot our vantage
We have to manage through the storming now to find ourself
So I wake up every morning and remind myself

Chorus:
Everything comes with time
All bad turns to good
It's all good we'll be fine
Just keep that in your mind
(x2)

Verse II (J-Shiu):
This current struggle and suffering couldn't compare to the glory
Shit, and all my joy was well worth all of this fury
I'm slowly losing my light just like a falling star
Although we dying I feel like it's the most beautiful part
Quit the bitchin it's a new day 
Go and find a new way
Go manifest the words that you say 
I'm just trying to do me
There comes a time you find this world is bigger than you
But all the youth consumed in pride like 
Look what this fuckin trigger could do
Like what the money, drugs, pussy, and the liquor would prove
Like fuck the pussy, money, weed, that's something Weezy would do
But every second counts boy and all that pain turns to blessings
The wrong road teach you lessons
For your greatest progression
So how you acting like this bad shit's about to break us down?
And how you losing hope like Jesus couldn't save us now?
Your faith'll keep your pear straight, your hope'll keep you afloat
I'm holding pocket aces
I guess we'll see where this goes

Chorus x2

Verse III (Prie)
Young nigga have no worries
Everything going be alright
Pray stay focused never lose your sight
Don't try to fake it always live your life
Like damn boy
Look at how far you came
Look at that star you made
Your story never fades
Pray you always find a way
Living for the better days
Universal get away
They ain't got shit to say 
Nah, nah, nah, nah
They wanna see down and gone
But, I still live and carry on
Dancing, singing to these songs we
Always try to right our wrongs see
Got these demons trying to haunt me 
I'm too protected
By the most high 
You can't wreck it, respect it
I'm just trying to give you perspective 
Fuck that
I don't need y'all acceptance
Everything in life is a blessing
Refused to be fooled by perception
Recording all my struggles in a session
Word to K Dot I love myself 
Yes God got me I don't need your help
Well maybe
These days life's so crazy
We all need somebody for safekeep
Look at all the things that made we
Damn 
Everything comes with time
All bad turns to good
It's all goin
We'll be fine

Chorus x2

Everything With Time Feat. J-Shiu, Prie & McCoy

Prod. Scholar

Lyrics:
Last night I took a field trip
Kind of bent, hopped a fence
Cut across a playground and laid down in the cemetery
Reflecting on my past, present, and current events
Speech slurring I vented to the moon, swore she was answering me
Not literal, but in a spiritual sense
We spoke
Me, myself, and I, but I wasn't alone
In fact it felt that picture of a beach with footprints in the sand
You know the poem hanging in grandmama's home
Where does love come from?
Where does it go when its gone?
What takes its place?
And why does that space turn hard as stone?
Another year I am older today
In many ways I've grown
But in my head them, them questions still they roam
Riding the bike she said its like cycling in circles
With your eyes closed
No hands blind faith is what she called it man
Said life's an ocean with a lot of commotion
Once you dive in, yeah it's deep
But if you can swim it ain't mattering

Scarub's Poem

Prod. Scholar 

Lyrics:

Verse I:
Do you ever have those dreams where you know why
Everything just makes sense 
Sit with God at low tide
Floating like we’re weightless
I’ve been feeling so high 
On the road to greatness
Until you told me don’t lie
You know you need some patience
Take this and bring it along to heaven
Give it the time
You’re living to find
The answers to every question
This is divine
Get in your mind
It’s bigger than people’s perception 
You want your wings for blessings
Get ready for your ascension

Chorus:
Tell me do you wanna fly now
Do you wanna hit the sky now
You ain’t even scared to die now
I’ve been feeling so alive now
Guess that we the vibe now 
Do you wanna fly now
Do you wanna hit the sky now
I’ve been thinking it’s divine now
I Guess we just gotta find out
Yeah you know it’s time now 

Verse II:
I pray to angels daily my thanks and praise then I lay to sleep
Away I say to hades then I fade to haze and make believe 
Beneath the wings of deities they're taking me through all my dreams
I question for a second the heavens split, slip through the seams
I guess there’s truer things than human beings that have to lie
What do you represent the moment when the cameras die?
Said I’ve been roaming all alone like I’m a samurai
Where I’m going I don’t ever know
But I just have to try 

Chorus

Find Out

Prod. NewMusik

Is it my fault?
I want the shit that I don’t need
Now is it my fault?
I forgot what you done told me
Now is it my fault?
Take away diversions from my heart 
Cuz in this world this shit is all I got

Need a lifeline when it’s nighttime
Am I in my right mind?
Shit I don’t know
See them tight dimes 
Sippin white wine 
When the light shines
For their photos
White girl
With the white girl 
Taking flights everywhere
And anywhere the snow blows 
Truth is 
That the truth lives
Deep inside that’s the type of shit that we Don’t show

Baby I’m trying
x2
It’s goin be a while

People judge but they don’t know shit
Y’all can get the fuck right up off my dick 
Kept it all 💯 yeah you know I did
Praying I ain’t running from it oh don’t slip
Knowin that the devil working hard all day
He just gettin mad cuz I’m on my way
Saying up to God hope you hold my place
Where the grass is greenest yeah I know that’s safe

But I’m always distracted by things that I think that I need but I want

That’s just the reason I’m asking if this is my fault
I want the shit that I don’t need
Now is it my fault?
I forgot what you done told me
Now is it my fault?
Take away diversions from my heart 
Cuz in this world this shit is all I got

Take a ride with me
Realize with me 
That this shit ain’t really what it seems
Don’t justify with me
All the lies that we
Try to tell ourselves when we bought a dream
Like I don’t give a fuck
Imma live it up
Lights, camera, action
Let the show go
Truth is 
That the truth lives
Deep inside that’s the type of shit that we don’t show


Baby I’m tryinnn

Verse I (Scholar)
Ride around in my soul
I see you where ever I go
Light at the end of the tunnel 
I funnel your glow
There’s something about it surreal but I can’t let it go
Feel like I’ve been here before
Feel like I been here before
Where’s my devotion?
Question my notions
Bottled emotions
Feels like I’m floating 
Where am I going?
Looking to find a way to you
I know that I have questions
But you’re the one who gives me blessings

Hook:
Imma stay faithful 
Imma stay faithful to you
And imma be grateful 
Regardless of the states that I feel I’m going through 
(2x)

Verse II (BAM)
I remember when I needed you
I remember when you came through
So here I am
Counting my blessings yeah
Your the lover of my soul
And you remain faithfully faithful
So here I am
Standing in your presence yeah
You're the reason why I'm here
You pulled me out of hate and fear
Now I'm living for you
The old is gone
Now I'm new
And I gotta stay faithful

Chorus

Faithful (Feat. BAM)

Prod. Scholar

Verse I:
Fireworks be blazing we celebrating the new year
Think that I’m in heaven the question is what to do here
I asked you about the true resolutions for things that you fear
You said to go 100 I love it baby you’re too real
Been evolving the root of my sin’ll fade away
When I’m with you I feel I’m superman to save the day
The paint is black and white, but me and you can change the tray
We sit and color each other with 50 shades of gray
Thank Jehovah cuz you the one that I prayed for
Hos catch my attention but you the one that I stay for
Baring all the fruit for the truth that we need to pay for
You know it’s time to harvest and already start to make more
Thank you this season will be amazing 
You’re changing every place that I stand for a point of view
I’m thinking of toasting to the occasion
Cuz most my life was vacant it’s grown since knowing you

Chorus:
Looking back there she was there was
Fast forward there she is there she is
Stay silent there she goes there she goes
Now I wonder where she go where she go
Looking back there she was there was
Fast forward there she is there she is
Stay silent there she goes there she goes
Now I wonder where she go

Verse II: (Shing02)
Oh 
This can be a happy song, not a sappy song
The thinking hat is gone, but the cap is on
Aw backwards and the jeans sag, I was wrong
Yo I was lost deep in the forest of amazon
Baby I’m still stuck in babylon
I want you to be my rock, el capitan
Let me go to my shed and get my practice on
I said practice how many times iverson
Why do we hold hands it’s kinda cumbersome
But I feel the temperature and my tantrum gone
You calm me down when world goes autobahn
No speed limit cars flying out of bounds
No timeout either, whether webber knew old news
Kicking on the block maybe sipping on cold brew
Reminiscing on the whole crew 
And I got mad love for ya sure fiyah, it’s all good

Chorus:
I think I finally figured out where the grass is the greenest/
I figured out where it's greenest//
x2
I'm thanking God got me speechless/
Ah yeah//

Verse I: (Scholar)
I took a trip to hell and back just to save my soul/
There was a second I reckoned I wouldn't make it home/
I reached to heaven, I caught a grip and it made me strong/
Realized that life is a trip that I couldn't take alone//
Create my zone, reminiscing back to 91'/
My rigid condition, the minute that my time begun/
I had a vision, my mission wishing to find the sun/
Itching for some wisdom, the omniscient told me the time'll come//
Where I'm from, I done came a long way/
I tried to chase acceptance//
That's stepping the wrong way/
From setting the bong blaze/
It's burning like Pompeii/
To blessing every sentence the second the song plays//
I 
used to always think there had to be a greener side/
Until I realized it's right where I stand//
I'm dropping insecurities/
All of my immaturity/
Looking inside the mirror seen/
A good ass man//
I

Pre-Hook:
Never thought that I would see this/
Getting past all my demons/
I'm thanking God can't believe this/
Yeah you know you got me speechless//

Hook

The Grouch:
Searching for validation in validating my own/
Looking for calculations to add up to cash in a home//
And a chain and a girl/
All the pain in the world//
Don't hurt like the worthless feeling inside when I'm lost/
I need a million likes to buy me my strength back, that's false//
Only my light inside is needed to connect me to God/
The green in my grass is directly affected by how I water my soul
So now I pour out my heart//
It ain't wrong to have an ego, it's just how you use it/
That's why we all have egos, but do we abuse them?//
Self-depreciation is beating myself up/
Your lawn's a vacation to me but I failed to//
See all the angles/
Appreciate my angels//
Be all the things that/
Bring all the blessings back//
And not to get blessings, but because it's the right path/
When I am my higher self, I got the greenest grass//

Pre-hook
