Picture This
By TC Rapha

Intro: Mic check, 1, 2. Gotta get this recorded. What’s on my mind... is a staple message. Gotta pin it down. TC Rapha... check it-

Verse 1:
Settin’ up this framework
Showin’ y’all how the game works
Hip-Hop is made up 
Of all our struggles
Ion care if the pain hurts

The one thang that’ll always be 
There for me is the music
& errybody else who tags along
Is there for the movement

Be progressive, yo
Ain’t talkin’ rates or just Flo
Digest this clear like it’s crystal
Presence shoots up 
From head to toe to lips
That’s a missile

The gift of life can have 
It’s own tempo
Cuz at most
Things slow down
Or move too fast

Your mind feels like 
It hits that dash to crash
Patience never lasts
Leading to a former past
Of regrets & laughs

But the good doesn’t seem
To outweigh the bad
But just weigh the facts
Cuz the fact is
This shit is but a fraction
Of yo inhabitance 

So don’t call an ambulance 
When shots fire
Cuz the shot that counts
Will never miss 
Ignorance is bliss
But choosin’ to be ignorant
Will lead to the imminent 
Death has a will 
So where’s yo will to live?

Hook: 
How we gonna work this out?
What do y’all make of this?
Tryna play it cool, but
Shit don’t make no sense to me
& yet I’m here

What’s to make of all I’m told?
Is there more covered up to unfold?
I can’t give no advice
I just have to come clean & say
What’s true to me

Verse 2:
Now picture this
A wife, a home, & kids
Generational wealth to come
& finding what your purpose is

While next to your closest friends
In the moment, nothing seems
To wanna come to an end
Cuz everything ends
Where it all begins

But what’s beginning to happen instead
Is a life of terror & dread
Corruption & a whole lotta red
Ain’t thinkin’ steady, but instead
You thinkin’ bout foes & the friends
& those makin’ believe to pretend
& those who just follow the trends

So if the trend sets
Then you go & send it
You livin’ out the worlds
Of those who spread the message
That it’s fun to tote guns & drugs
While stayin’ independent
Well lemme ask ya this
Why not work with a team
That won’t be so forgiving?

We here for da ones 
That struggle like us near the projects
We here for da ones
That do not want to lose their progress
We here for da ones
That ain’t blabbering all dat nonsense
We here for da ones
Speaking truth in & out of context

Cuz what comes next
You questioning why
They always talk, but no involvement
Relationships seem to stir
That stirred mix is a concoction 
Made with ingredients 
That requires trust
To form the process
So be proactive
Not reactive
It takes logic

Niggas beefin’ over hoes
When the hoe is raunchy
If they really schemin’ 
Then it’s twisted 
& we finna bop ‘em
But if it’s all misunderstanding
Then innerstand the problems
& if not, you will rot
Cuz shit can get toxic

Hook: 
How we gonna work this out?
What do y’all make of this?
Tryna play it cool, but
Shit don’t make no sense to me
& yet I’m here

What’s to make of all I’m told?
Is there more covered up to unfold?
I can’t give no advice
I just have to come clean & say
What’s true to me

Verse 3:
Sometimes I wish I 
Didn’t care so much
Cuz then they’ll think I’m nice
Wit it when I don’t give no fucks

The only reason why I care
Is cuz I do not see despair
In disparity 
It’s a force of power
Caused by Calamity Ganon

Shootin’ shots through the cannon
Affectin’ those, not just in battle
But all they friends & family

Surging destruction & war
But what for?
If all it is
Is some tension & conflict
We ain’t all compatible

You’re asking what gives
& not who gives 
A lotta people would 
Give up themselves 
To make you give up 

Cuz when it all goes down
You’ll fall down to hell
(x2)

Hook: 
How we gonna work this out?
What do y’all make of this?
Tryna play it cool, but
Shit don’t make no sense to me
& yet I’m here

What’s to make of all I’m told?
Is there more covered up to unfold?
I can’t give no advice
I just have to come clean & say
What’s true to me

Lyrics:

I just wanna live my life
Figure out what’s gon set me free
This might sound a lil selfish
But I’m finna do what’s best for me
There’s a lot of steps to take
Might never come back again…

I just wanna live my life
Figure out what’s gon set me free
This might sound a lil selfish
But I’m finna do what’s best for me
There’s a lot of steps to take
Might never come back again
I don’t wanna have y’all wait
So do not hold your applause for me

Applause for me? Applause for me?
I don’t wanna have y’all wait
So do not hold your applause for me
(x2)

I can write my thoughts with ease
But none of this shii ever comes too easy
Damn, I should of ate more greens
Cuz these demons slide in way too greasy
I’m just tryna live at peace
But it’s way to hard when your busy appeasing
All those around who give you a reason
To fight for their meaning
Meaning.
My season always comes to a downfall
Some others wanna see you come up
Mainly the brothers, the mothers, the sun up
Da sun rise & set wit da summer
Ion settle average  
Das really a bummer…
I do my best, there’s someone next up
Needa to let go, so I can let up
Pent up tension, it’s too much pressure
Weighted all on me…
I do this to myself…
Can’t blame no one else…
Niggas try to help…
But I try to tell what I can’t explain
Juice said it best, you race for love
But it feels like death when you’re not to pace
I hope when I die, I could leave trace
Mark my words, I’ll be someone great
In another life, might get isekai’d
In a world where I can’t escape
But I’m no disgrace, I’ll make sure I grace
My prescence…
With everyone around me who is present
Can’t take for granted what I’m given
This life is what I’ve been gifted

I just wanna live my life
Figure out what’s gon set me free
This might sound a lil selfish
But I’m finna do what’s best for me
There’s a lot of steps to take
Might never come back again
I don’t wanna have y’all wait
So do not hold your applause for me

Applause for me? Applause for me?
I don’t wanna have y’all wait
So do not hold your applause for me
(x4)

Applause for me? Applause for me?
…do not hold your applause for me
(x2)

Hold Your Applause

Lyrics:

Lately I been thinkin’
I been doin’ shit for no reason
Everything around me’s changing
I ain’t talkin’ bout the seasons
I be talkin’ bout my purpose
Tryna find what my worth is
I wanna show dat I’m earnest
I hope that my efforts ain’t worthless
Why do I choose to ignore…
All the times that I’ve had before…
Is it bad that I want more…
Spread my wings & I’ll soar!

I been worried bout the minute things like decor & the fashion
Or the latest trends on my IG
Ain’t been focused ‘nuff on my passions
I been focused on where da cash at
…Cash gone & I’m back at it
Went from chasing dreams in my ol’ attic
To my own crib, but I’m not settled
Ridin’ with the wind so I stay in my element…
Goin’ up, goin’ up, like an RPG, you know I’m leveling… (up)
I do this for da fam, call me Mr. Incredible…
Life been on a plateau, but you know I will never fold…
I’m tryna handle this all on my own
Cuz at the end of the day 
I know one things for sure
It’s just me & myself
That’s who this is all for
Until death do us part
Bad habits been too common
Mental on some nonsense
Yet my heart says to take things slow…
I been real since the start
That alone’ll take me far
But how far can I go?..

Lately I been thinkin’
I been doin’ shit for no reason
Everything around me’s changing
I ain’t talkin’ bout the seasons
I be talkin’ bout my purpose
Tryna find what my worth is
I wanna show dat I’m earnest
I hope that my efforts ain’t worthless
Why do I choose to ignore…
All the times that I’ve had before…
Is it bad that I want more…
Spread my wings & I’ll soar!

Who Ü Are (prod. tykun)

Lyrics:
I got a call from my elders
said they miss me!
I got hit up by my friends
said they miss me!
I got word from my girl
said she miss me!
I had a talk with myself
said I miss me! 

My mind just goes into overdrive 
So I can’t get a grip of myself
This ain’t no plot, this ain’t no game
Need to relocate away from this Hell
I just need my bitch & I need my gang
To be there for me when I need help
No designer tags or materials needed
To know these words is gon be felt

The moon peaked over my head
So it could cast my shadow to the ground
I looked at the concrete
To the reflection with which I am bound

Took some time to think through
Everything that I’ve said & done
What is it about me
That everyone feels they can get along

With me, along with me 
With me, along with me
With me, along with me~

I got a call from my elders
said they miss me!
(My mind just goes into overdrive 
So I can’t get a grip of myself)
I got hit up by my friends
said they miss me!
(This ain’t no plot, this ain’t no game
Need to relocate away from this Hell)
I got word from my girl
said she miss me!
(I just need my bitch & I need my gang
To be there for me when I need help)
I had a talk with myself
said I miss me! 
(No designer tags or materials needed
To know these words is gon be felt)

miss me! (prod. shvde)

Bad Habits (ft. Go!) [prod. andrzxz]

“Lost & Found Vol. 2” is the latest installment to the series. If you don’t already know, this series aims to showcase music that has been sitting in the vault for a plethora of different reasons. However, this is all music I wanted to show y’all since it gives the many avenues my mind goes through both expressively and creatively. In more good news, while this series is still mainly for SoundCloud, I will be adding both volume 1 and 2 to YouTube in single video formats (my YouTube can be found on my page).

I give my shoutouts to the producers involved & credited on the title tracks, “Kid Mars” for the fantastic feature on “Watch It!,” and to all of you who are listening out there. This may be the last of the series for a bit as I have a lot more music in the works for streaming platforms and news coming out on the gram. 2025, we gon do it big! ✰
