Hope you know, hope you know

I got old friends and new
I wrote this for you
Only a few
Helped me grow and improve
When I was stoned and confused
My true bros didn't approve when I was smoking a few
I show you the truth
Hop in the Fusion and cruise
Play that new J. Cole man I knew
He would blow since '02
I flow for the youth but lyrics I wrote for adults for sure
A lot of pain and bullshit I endured
That's how it started in a town up in Mizzou
Then I got back home in the heart of Europe
It took all my friends so I could cheer up
I was so proud of my whole crew
I still hang out with all those dudes
And I got some friends to make music every once in a blue moon
Songs with some cool tunes
Working till deep in the night
Or watching some ball with a meal on the side
I might hang out in a city nearby
Cause that's really where life's happening
Besides rapping I couldn't find a job I worked with no side tracking
 
Hope you know, hope you know
Hope you know, know, know, know
I couldn't live without y'all
All my bros, all my bros
And the ladies that I love
Hope you know, hope you know
Hope you know, know, know
I want to see my friends again
Send them in
Send them in
Fuck this Covid shit
Let my homies in
 
I put emotions on display
So, I can cope with all the pain
Lost my job, I was too open about my faith
Went back to smoking clouds of haze
Let's set scene how I flipped
Someone put amphetamines in my drink
So, I went crazy, unable to catch a breather and think
But my friends stuck by me even in the dark times
Now I'm back to hard rhymes
And catching up with friends of the past
As far as girls, don't know if I can commit again or if relationships will last
I just want to get back to living again
Catch the rhythm again
And reconnect with friends
Meet up with them then
Catch attention from a cutie
Catch a couple movies
Get comfy, chill and lie down
Watch my friends' ball games, cheer them on and get my life on
I need room to breathe and write songs
I begin at noon, make beats, got time now
I put the moves on shorty hope she'll move on me despite all
 
Hope you know, hope you know
Hope you know, know, know, know
I couldn't live without y'all
All my bros, all my bros
And the ladies that I love
Hope you know, hope you know
Hope you know, know, know
I want to see my friends again
Send them in
Send them in
Fuck this Covid shit
Let my homies in
 
We used to get lifted and chill
But smoking spliffs made me ill
Now I know I need to lay off of it even though I can't hate the smell
I wish I could still light up a joint but grass makes me paranoid
Combined with the fear of hell it turns me into a maniac, now you get my point
My friends have watched my self-destruction
But I have constructed songs to tell the story
Now I move on with
Do songs with it
Putting my life on paper cause that's just what I do, and I love doing it
I felt this beat, so I'm choosing it
I dedicate it to the ones who never left and stuck by me even when I flipped out
Even when I ripped out
Pages of my book of life
I lost months when I was in a daze and I just couldn't smile
Crazy shit, it took some time
For me to get it back together and get my swagger back
Dreamt up better raps
Not no battle raps
With life's every test
I can't relax
Till I took care of that
 
Hope you know, hope you know
Hope you know, know, know, know
I couldn't live without y'all
All my bros, all my bros
And the ladies that I love
Hope you know, hope you know
Hope you know, know, know
I want to see my friends again
Send them in
Send them in
Fuck this Covid shit
Let my homies in

My mom always used to fight for me
She tried to be
Both parents, but my family tree makes me wanna cry and weep
Grandpa probably used to fight blitzkrieg
I don't wanna see my ancestry
Bonhoeffer was an idol to me
Malcolm and Martin inspired me
Hope the past can give us sight to see
The world needs to change entirely
It was built on racism
School taught me about colonies barely mentioning slaves in it
Rap educated me more than the history courses
All they ever taught was French revolution from different sources
We need to correct
Errors that are deeply attached
To Western culture - original art displayed Jesus as black
Then they made everyone look white cause whites were feeling mismatched
Some even use the bible to defend slavery
God didn't end slavery
It took hundreds of years and countless deaths
And in 2020 some cops still wanna stop the breath
Of the brown and black

Pac said there will never be peace
Are we destined to grieve over loved ones left dead in the streets
It takes a second to see
We ain't doing well and we never may be
Are we destined to grieve
Indefinitely
Will there ever be justice, will there ever be peace?
Will there ever be a day where we all can stand together
Seems like dictators wanna fight over land forever

When Mike Brown's blood was getting shed
The justice department let their own folks run the trial, not cross examining
A cop who fired his gun at least ten times when he killed
An unarmed man with it
That's foul they let him off
Changed the regular procedure of the trial to let the killer walk
Still the cops
Don't get a charge
Police is still killing blacks
They seem to feel a thrill in that, get a gat, shoot and ask questions later
Step by step we fail and
Move steady to the lowest point like an escalator
MLK the third said not to only look at the ones who rage in darkness
But look at the ones who create the darkness
Back when
I worked at a hostel I was a coward, only half man
The cook outright said hey
So, what if Mike Brown was shot, he was a black man
I stared at him shocked at what he said then
But too scared to report him, fearing for my own job
That still puts me to shame I had to grow balls

Pac said there will never be peace
Are we destined to grieve over loved ones left dead in the streets
It takes a second to see
We ain't doing well and we never may be
Are we destined to grieve
Indefinitely
Will there ever be justice, will there ever be peace?
Will there ever be a day where we all can stand together
Seems like dictators wanna fight over land forever

I can't shut up anymore when someone crosses the nazi line
That's good trouble, I'll be fine
Some wanna dispute racism, that's some delirious shit
Whites have been privileged to never directly experience it
We need to let people eat in our country
People flee from war and try to reach our country
Then we make them feel like we better them cause we're rich in our country
We let the army shoot people at the European coast and feel pride
For claiming the Nobel Peace Prize
Bombs drop nonstop in foreign countries
While most of us sit at home watching
Power back to the people!
We need to educate ourselves so we don't act just as evil
People get punished and killed unjustly
At least watch when things get ugly
Fuck this war
Just move all the fucking troops back to Russian soil
It's lock and load if the goddamn war
Don't stop at our fuckin door
Putin lost his mind
Over greed, racism and hate
People need to take over his place

Pac said there will never be peace
Are we destined to grieve over loved ones left dead in the streets
It takes a second to see
We ain't doing well and we never may be
Are we destined to grieve
Indefinitely
Will there ever be justice, will there ever be peace?
Will there ever be a day where we all can stand together
Seems like dictators wanna fight over land forever

My objective of delivery has gone
From diary entries to findin out the limits of my lung
EP similar to none
I wanna hear the record spin until it’s done
I’m spittin cause it’s fun
Sometimes I’m brittle so I run to finishing a song
No more a gigolo I’ve come
A long way from livin in a middle class home, livin with my mom
To and even something similar to slums
Now I’m not looking to buy precious jewels
I only buy a selected few
CDs and vinyls that match the true
Feeling with rhymes that will wreck the booth really

Rap’s the reason why I’m confident with words
God’s the reason why I’m walking on this earth
Since ’99 I’ve been rap-immersed
And I’ll never quit writin all these tracks and sparkin up a verse

Here’s a reference to literature
Like William Blake my sentences
Are given you the mind forged manacles
Instrumentals send ‘em thru I finish two
Don’t underestimate or understate the fundamental runs I make
To undertake risks like stopping the clock at the stock exchange
I want records you never fast forward
Attack the black market with a free EP, attempt to last long and
Make haters mad and act awkward
Creativity is in my genes like Red Monkey at cha back pockets
I grew up with cassettes not next gen smart phones
I wanna be heard but I don’t have to attain stardom

Rap’s the reason why I’m confident with words
God’s the reason why I’m walking on this earth
Since ’99 I’ve been rap-immersed
And I’ll never quit writin all these tracks and sparkin up a verse

Extradiegetic scripts, stressed to write better things
Invest in my rhetoric, let the rhymes settle it
Dress fly, never quit
Unfortunate perfectionist
Memorized every script that got you getting hectic like infected by pestilence
Name your favorites, if you don’t honor the legends you better dissect the list
Popped off in this game
With fire from my lungs like arsonists blaze
I walked thru a maze
Locked doors in my way
I’m ignorin the pain till life’s offerin change

Rap’s the reason why I’m confident with words
God’s the reason why I’m walking on this earth
Since ’99 I’ve been rap-immersed
And I’ll never quit writin all these tracks and sparkin up a verse

lyrics

 You're crossing my mind all over again
How to begin
How have you been
I’ve been trying to get you outta my head
Tried hard to forget
The good times that we had
I tried having peace but after the last time that you met me
I cried, something inside me died when you left me
Watching me now is a sad scene
I try to be composed
When you were sleepin I was
Lookin at you for minutes just thinkin about how pretty you was
Now the image lies in a mist
I still remember the last time that we kissed
It makes me smile when I reminisce
No one compares to your smile and to your eyes
Could put on a smile and act like everything's alright but I would lie
why would I?

I wish we coulda met you at another point but we could not
I never like to say goodbye
But this time it's for good right?
So, I just want you to hear me out one last time, play the song and then good night

Memories come to mind vividly
How you came by to chill with me
You got class and sex appeal at the same time you’re killin me
We spend so much time in bed
We did it so wild that your face turned bright red
You gave me some of my best days and my nights
You’re a part of me till the last day of my life

I guess I’m a hopeless romantic
I loved your fragrance; it gives me flashbacks to a time before it all ended
You made my fantasies come to life
You were the woman I had plans to be my wife
You cared for me, my tracks, my beats, my rhymes
And you actually could read what I write
Cause your English skills were on point
You gave me a high much stronger than the strongest weed in a joint
You gave me the strongest feeling of joy
Some of my best days we were together
Sometimes I wish the time woulda lasted forever
The times replay in my mind
Chillin with you at the lake till the night
Those are the moments that make me alive
You're a part of me until the last day of my life

I wish we coulda met you at another point but we could not
I never like to say goodbye
But this time it's for good right?
So, I just want you to hear me out one last time, play the song and then good night

Memories come to mind vividly
How you came by to chill with me
You got class and sex appeal at the same time you’re killin me
We spend so much time in bed
We did it so wild that your face turned bright red
You gave me some of my best days and my nights
You’re a part of me till the last day of my life

Every once in a while, I wonder how you’re doin
What’s new in your life, what kinda things you’re pursuing
Hope you kept your sense of humor, and your love for music
Do you have an ear for the tunes I sing? 
Heard you got a good job now; I knew you would do your thing
You’re the realest chick I know, I still choose to think
About the places we’ve been, the moments we shared
Those are still clear
Your voice is still known to my ear
As if I still sleep beside you
Your body turned me on so much I still remember being deep inside you
You inspire many of the beats I rhyme to
This is strictly for you
I'm missin you boo
And every time I hear a beat like this, I'm thinkin 'bout you

I wish we coulda met you at another point but we could not
I never like to say goodbye
But this time it's for good right?
So, I just want you to hear me out one last time, play the song and then good night

Memories come to mind vividly
How you came by to chill with me
You got class and sex appeal at the same time you’re killin me
We spend so much time in bed
We did it so wild that your face turned bright red
You gave me some of my best days and my nights
You’re a part of me till the last day of my life

Behind The Waterfall

Vocals& Lyrics: Sebastian Stephan
Beat: @Waldemar-Spielmann

I've been dating, trying to find the right lady
If my friends had asked, I would have said it's all gravy
But I'm sorta hurting today
It's easy to flirt and get laid, but it's hard to find a woman of virtue and faith
And to be honest there's some dirt on my name
I've made my share of mistakes
Superficial love with girls, I barely cared for their names
I bet they're quick to air out I'm fake
And glare at my faith
I guess I need to bear all the blame
I wish God could spare me from shame

And flare up the flame
Of the love I got inside
Stored up for a wife and family too
For love and good times when everything's cool
But thru struggle and strife and calamity, too
Understand that I do
Long for more than a fun night and some quick memories
That's why I write this song while I sip Hennessy
More than a fun night and some quick memories
That's why I write this song while I sip Hennessy

True love, I mean the real thing
When things fall apart you don't move out, you just fix things
That true love
True love, I mean the real thing
When things fall apart you don't move out, you just fix things
That true love

I know heartbreak
I know how it feels
But I know God saves
What is broken He heals
So, I found myself falling to my knees
Asking for help, asking for hope that's for real
Cause I've had fake hope promised to me from multiple sides
TV and music and quotable lines
But they couldn't define
What it means to actually love
That love that perseveres even when it gets hard
Cause it's there's decision that your basing it on

I got love inside
Stored up for a wife and family too
For love and good times when everything's cool
But thru struggle and strife and calamity, too
Understand that I do
Long for more than a fun night and some quick memories
That's why I write this song while I sip Hennessy
I long for more than a fun night and some quick memories
That's why I write this song while I sip Hennessy

True love, I mean the real thing
When things fall apart you don't move out, you just fix things
That true love
True love, I mean the real thing
When things fall apart you don't move out, you just fix things
That true love

You've been runnin thru my head
Thought I was done with love, that's the dumbest thing I said
I'm done with being sad, I'm thinking positive instead
I want a rendezvous, with emotions that are true
I wrote this here for you
You're tip to toe fly, my focus is on you
Hope you listen to
My good songs and not just the songs I wrote to attract attention
Or get some mentions
I'm not good but I don't have bad intentions
God set the standards we won't match until we rest in heaven

But I got love inside
Stored up for a wife and family too
For love and good times when everything's cool
But thru struggle and strife and calamity, too
Understand that I do
Long for more than a fun night and some quick memories
I long for a bond, I commit steadily
I long for more than a fun night and some quick memories
I long for a bond, I commit steadily
To that

True love, I mean the real thing
When things fall apart you don't move out, you just fix things
That true love
True love, I mean the real thing
When things fall apart you don't move out, you just fix things
That true love
