Lyrics:

Verse 1:
I wake up, really dreading this first chore
Cue the next, asking “What am I here for?”
I’m not prepared for all this writhing and struggling trying to
Find the malfunctioning elements of this mental war
Take my morning medication and face facts
I could have a buffet, and it would end fast
I reconsider and hope that they pave these faint tracks
So I can have a smooth trip, until I face flat
Support from family and friends can suture a weak soul
But on the beaten trail, these boots are never free of holes
So I dig myself deeper into this pit of depression
And wonder why when meeting people I give a bad impression
I needed some other means of expression
A way to take these pensive thoughts and turn them into progression
And though I’m not at any level that would earn a high score
I’m still in the game, and playing I adore

Hook:
So I rap, trying to figure my purpose
Want to go even deeper, but I get stuck at the surface
And although, I’m afraid of these painful streets
Even when I’m dead, I’ll be bumping these Angel Beats
I’m seeking answers, but afraid of the truth
So I jump into music, so I can drown out my youth
Cause although, my whole life still feels incomplete
Even when I’m dead, I’ll still be playing these Angel Beats

Verse 2:
Through all this music, I discovered a motive and how
These beats give me angel wings and a lyrical quota
If I can’t give life definition I’ll soar right above it
Let my lyrics interpret my existential discomfort
A boost to my confidence, but tell no one the consequence
I’m riding down the highway singing out like I’m heaven sent
Pure finesse, put my body and blood in it
Hoping one day that my words will pay off a bit
But if they don’t, where will that leave me?
Just a man with no goals and poor reasoning
Wise men say it’s a gamble, but to me it’s a flush
Numbers mean completely nothing if you still feel the rush
Every day I hope and pray for my happiness
But thank the Lord that I was freed from the blackness
And though I haven’t found my reason for living yet,
I have this music, and you bet I be killing it

Hook:
So I rap, trying to figure my purpose
Want to go even deeper, but I get stuck at the surface
And although, I’m afraid of these painful streets
Even when I’m dead, I’ll be bumping these Angel Beats
I’m seeking answers, but afraid of the truth
So I jump into music, so I can drown out my youth
Cause although, my whole life still feels incomplete
Even when I’m dead, I’ll still be playing these Angel Beats

Refrain:
I’ll still be playing these angel beats

Lucky Enough

Intro (Frog Da Jam): 
Y’all already know this was the first song I ever wrote 
And now we remastered, redone, the master, three guns 
Remix, these trix, trix are for kids, pimps 

Verse 1 (Frog Da Jam): 
At two months old I was popping bottles in the crib 
Had the world in my hand and saliva on my bib 
The point I’m trying to make is that when I was just a kid 
I was already spittin harder than any rapper ever did 
But you may ask “Frog Da Jam, how you get so ill? 
Tell us how you came about your lyrics and your skill” 
Okay I’ll tell ya about my biggest influence 
It’s my mother with whom I stay contiguous 
Ever since day one she’s been supportive of my choices 
Raised me from the dirt until I learned just what my voice is 
A man of many philosophies often compared to Socrates 
She helped me be what I am today: a gentleman with some dues to pay 
Growing up was hard surrounded by the haters 
Paranoid of everyone including all my neighbors 
But my Momma taught me how to be the greatest person ever 
Fuck everyone’s opinion and take shit from someone never 
Now I’m topping the charts and I’m swimmin in women 
I got bling out my ears and some girls in my linen 
And to all you haters that try to judge me 
I’m an asymptote; which means you will never touch me, bitch 

Hook (Frog Da Jam and Tanuki): 
Living with my mother, yuh 
She will always cover, yuh 
Whenever I be illing, yuh 
She provides the billing, yuh 
Bakes me all these cookies, yuh 
Telling off the bullies, yuh 
Woman like no other, yuh 
Living with my mother, yuh 

Verse 2 (Tanuki): 
Yeah I’ve been living with your mama for some time now, ya dig? 
Burn em with the Firefox, leave em Safari blocked 
Bookmarks of the tab got me off my rocks 
I swear these faulty connections as slow as AOL 
I ain’t no tell, I’ll be buried a stitch face 
Unearthed when the snitch came, I leave em the same way 
Get paid lay with their honey in the same day 
Tea bag strings on my line, I got matcha ties 
Oven roasted duck but all I wanted was some nacho fries 
Fortnight when the gory sights come to life 
Gore-Tex flex all your flows are no-shows 
Always in the box like hobos, baggin’ like Frodo 
If she asks for the ring throw it overboard 
Exodia, obliterate the frozen ones 
Step up to this mountain fucker better be the chosen one 
Ketamine flow from the chronic like woah 
I’m anti-toxins, keep talking leave you anti-bodied 
Tanuki 

Hook (Frog Da Jam and Tanuki): 
Living with my mother, yuh 
She will always cover, yuh 
Whenever I be illing, yuh 
She provides the billing, yuh 
Bakes me all these cookies, yuh 
Telling off the bullies, yuh 
Woman like no other, yuh 
Living with my mother, yuh 

Verse 3 (Frog Da Jam): 
Hey dude, what’s your point? I’m still the ruler and king of this joint 
My divinity comes naturally and I’ve got enough in me to anoint 
A legion, an army, a camp of boot, theses lyrics I spit I will recruit 
To crush all hope of being defeated, oh wait, that’s a negative covered by a square root 
(irrational) 
That’s math, let it soak in like a fresh warm bath 
Maybe the rappers who say that they’re fly, but really aren’t, can learn from my path 
That you’re not cool, you’re not tough, you’re the worst example of any mobster 
Maybe you should take a break, reflect, and let your mommy treat you to Red Lobster 
That’s what I do, and look at me; I’m courteous, anomalous and not so selfish 
Rhyme so fast, and I excrete class, all because my Mom and I shared shellfish 
Skills like these can not be acquired; they’re a natural utility years desired 
If you try to face my words admired, then you’ll end up like my milk: EXPIRED 
Which would never happen, by the way 
Cause my mom buys me new milk every week 
Sometimes soy milk 

Hook x2 (Frog Da Jam and Tanuki): 
Living with my mother, yuh 
She will always cover, yuh 
Whenever I be illing, yuh 
She provides the billing, yuh 
Bakes me all these cookies, yuh 
Telling off the bullies, yuh 
Woman like no other, yuh 
Living with my mother, yuh
