I Don't Know (Nas - Surviving the Times Remix)

Feel Something (Al'Tarba - Lullaby for Insomniacs Remix)

950 Smith Ave is where I grew up. I consider it my real home.

Lyrics:
I didn’t know I could do this all till I did it
And now I can’t quit it
The thrill of the love that I'm always getting keep leaving my head spinning
These lyrics are all I’m thinking of
All I’m dreaming up
All I’m seeking love from
And I can’t see myself ever being done with this till I’m eating dust
Gone
In the big scheme of all it dreaming the hardest I’m really just a pawn
But if I reach the end of it the queen is what I’d become
My capabilities are endless
But I’m reckless
Chasing dreams that are dumb
Or so they say
But if I’m a son then I know my day will come
Praise the one who is learning how to say in many tongues
That the world belongs to him even if he is shunned
He’s the one
Took the blue pill
But he was too real
Injected with the red to unlock his true skills
This is no drill
This is live on the air
Don’t have time to prepare
But I know that I can take the stares
I can take the stares

It’s too easy
Too easy
I said I’d make it big
But how many believed me?
I’m giving this all I have
This is my 950 Smith Ave

I said that I can take the stares
Like I like the cardio
Sweeter than you can bear
I am Haribo
Stomping on these goons all day
I am Mario
They tryna figure out where I came from
I am the Maury Show
Flow so ugly you’d think I need an alibi
Mind so sharp like the sword of a samurai
Story never ending you would think I’m on a dragon ride
But ya’ll can’t touch this
Stop it’s hammer time
I do this all day
I do this all night
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for this
Like it’s a klondike
I’m on one
Kendrick Lamar song
We gon’ be alright
Aiming for something I never had
This is my prom night
This is my prom night
I said this is all I want and I can do this all night

It’s too easy
Too easy
I said I’d make it big
But how many believed me?
I’m giving this all I have
This is my 950 Smith Ave

I write these words with hopes they get heard
Flying higher than the vapors from the papers I’ve burned
I said I’ve put in the work
I’m saying now it’s my turn
To front on this world
Everything I’ve been given’s been earned
Man I ain’t gotten no handouts
Homie I’m the man now
18 years grown
Still kicking like a roundhouse
Didn’t know I’d make it this long
But this dream’s stuck around
So I might as well keep it going
I only do this for the fame
Only do this for my name
Working so hard
Call me Thomas the way I train
Man I’m cheesy
And salty
While these haters stay bitter
It’s so easy
Honestly
I’m undefeated
Mayweather
I’m a go-getter
Never backing down from a challenge
Call me a christmas elf the way I rap’s the whole package
I ain’t lacking anything
I am grand at everything
No question when I come the amount of talent he brings
Wassup


950 Smith Ave

Early morning nights I’m up writing
Eyes bright but heavy
I’m tryna write a notion no Poseidon
Fighting the odds against me
But I got the love beside me Aphrodite
I’m lusting for the dreams I ain’t always had
They changed my expressions like a face tat
Now all I see are goals I can achieve
I’ve woken up a beast
The golden fleece and holy nectar
I need to take that
Journeying through turbulence my future is in the air
And the sights are cloudy but I know that we’ll get there
As long as we go slow and steady I’m more than ready
I’m heading for the finish line like the tortoise and the hare
One step and then another
It’s easy as that
I keep working harder
Catch me leaving after the fact
Cause I’m penning these words in as my legacy
I’m doing what’s best for me
Living recklessly until I rest in peace

(I ain’t afraid to go out if I go out tonight
I’ve lived how I wanted so I’d be going out alright) x2

When the sun is up I am too
My life might not be going the way I planned to
But I’m doing all I can do
Even if I ran into a couple snafus
With the people wanting me to fail saying look at that fool
So many people have already passed you
Who you rapping to
You’ll never have the money and the fans dude
They say it’s sad but its true
So I brush off their words like it was some dirt
Cleaning my mind feeling the peace of the sky
Streams flowing how I wanna go
Till the end of time
Relaxing on backs as the wind blows the chimes
If the world isn’t worried than neither am I
Always stepping forward don’t keep looking behind
We’re all a smaller piece of a bigger design
So if I play my part I think I’ll be alright
I’m saying

(I ain’t afraid to go out if I go out tonight
I’ve lived how I wanted so I’d be going out alright) x2


Alright (Prod. Cecil)

I was a good kid no shoes in the house
Always wanted to do it big like how they do in the south
Parents wary never wanted me to choose this route
But now they love seeing me doing what I’m doing now
I had big dreams
Thinking I’d go on to do big things
You know I had that drive since I was 16
I knew someday everybody would be listening
Yeah yeah yeah
Mic check
I just wanted my check
From the mic check the scoreboard I’ve scored more than on my tests
I’m blessed
Attitude of a slacker
Never needed my best
Still I passed with all honors it doesn’t make sense
It wasn’t fair
But I kept it cool like I was mother bear eating porridge in the forest
Slow and steady like the tortoise and I’m just getting warmed up
West side signs and you know I’m gonna throw em up
Chilling in the Bay that’s what I do
Told me that I couldn’t now I know that I was lied to
Sick of all the drama thought I left it all in high school
Keep it short and sweet like a haiku
Why do we keep faking it for people that we ain’t hanging with
All these games and I ain’t tryna keep playing em
Man I hate that shit
Wasting time on some hater shit
When all I really wanna say to them is see you later, shit
Man I been stressing over things that don’t matter
Tryna focus on the now not what’s gonna happen after
Afternoons filled with laughter doing things photographs can’t capture
Good kids doing shit you shouldn’t tell my pastor
Cause he would say that we going to hell
But it’s too late for us we already bored as hell
And I’m not tryna preach to you no congregation
I’m just tryna blow up like an Islamic statement
Okay
Before you get mad let me start saying
That I don’t think your religion defines how you’re behaving
But until the world can become a safe haven
People’s views on who is dangerous ain’t gonna start changing
Come on now
Deep down I knew I was a problem child
That’s the udder truth like an honest cow
And I kept tryna rock a style that wasn’t mine
I’ve changed who I wanted to be like a dozen times
Summer heat got me loving life 90 degrees
Sometimes you need the right angle like 90 degrees
To see what you really want and what you really need
Sometimes what you really need is just to set your cares free
And relax
I’m just here to give you the facts
Just blowing off some steam talking over these tracks
I never knew I would be good at this who knew I could rap?
But I just do it for the love and I keep having a blast
