Stack these tracks on wax I do it day and night
Right or wrong I be gone in a good zone
Conversation but you still stuck on the skin tone
Blood and bone still the same everything except the name
and life with the strife
Cut the path thru the grass like a sharp knife
Me and my wife we coolin’ like a fan cuz we can
Blow in the breeze makin’ gs, bs, ms and ts
So much money make em stand up straight holla Geez
I say I know
That like the police who be yellin’ freeze
We gotta go
and show a better way to all the seeds and grown folk
Turn the camera on and say cheese
Off to the show
Ain’t never scared cuz all you niggaz bleed
and fall on the flo
Focus on the buildin of the dough
The showin of the glow
Carbon copy you too sloppy for my stereo 
Of course you don’t think so
Aww shit here we go
Do this for the weary so
Fuck yo opinion
Write ya own raps and make ya own decisions
Don’t be fuckin’ with my visions
My momma I’m missin’
Not givin a fuck if you was listenin’

Turnaround

"The Formula" was written back when my daughter was drinking formula. Everyday that we were at home, I remember timing everything around when my wife and I scheduled her eating time.

During that time, there was a lot of formula the counter tops, the floor, my clothes and anywhere else that super small powder particles could fit.

At the moment that the idea for this record came to me, I was thinking about going down a highway at night with the windows down in the summer time. The feeling of the warm air blowing past my face and head while I blast rap music on my to play somewhere was a mental get away from the repetitive nature of taking care of an infant so I thought to myself, "I can get there, I just need to know the formula."

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Yeah
Yeah
Lets go

I wanna know what it feel like
Don't wanna do it if it ain't right
No
But I wanna know what it feel like
I think about it deep into the night
Cuz I wanna know what it feel like
I wanna know what it feel like
I wanna know what it feel like

Take a look
What do we have
What do you want
What can you grab
What do you flaunt
What do you flash
Never the cash
Never the stash
Both of my legs I be runnin the race
Chef in the kitchen I give 'em a taste
Spoonful melody straight to the face
Uppercut twice now it's blood in yo space
Whole lotta red
Some of em dead
Shit I don't know I be wreckin' the mic and I'm stackin' it til I git fed
Trackin' it all from the head
Straight from the tip
Right off the rip
Audio drip
Yeah
Slide to the side for the VIP
Water is plentiful but don't slip
Feelin' is mutual please don't trip
Yeah
Uh
See you ain't have to get but I ain't havin' it
Uh
The energy I'm burnin' up while I do this shit
Uh
I can see it all over they face
Vibe way different I'm on the chase
Sauce straight burnin' yo eye
Doin' it fore I die
They got murder all on the case
So we don't go
Moving too slow for the feel
Make it right with the real
Knee-deep up in the field with the grass and the cash
And the name but we not the same
Not even the game
It ain't no rules
Not for the pussy the cars or the jewels
That's why they poppin' the trunk for the tools

But so what

I wanna know what it feel like
Don't wanna do it if it ain't right
No
But I wanna know what it feel like
I think about it deep into the night
Cuz I wanna know what it feels like
I wanna know what it feel like
I wanna know what it feel like

Step inside my mind and have a seat
I'm pourin' you a drink
But don't get it twisted I don't give a fuck 'bout what you think
Sixes on me
Neck is icy like I'm slidin' in a rink
Kill this beat dead hide the body til it start to stink
Then we move it to another box and paint that ho pink
Steppin' up out in the Rolls finest leather freshest mink
Smokin' on the super veggie lots of iron lots of zinc
Count the money in the tub and wash the tools in the sink
Keep it quiet til you buy it what them old heads say
Pistol for a little issue how them young boys play
Microphone inside my grip then I'm gon git up and slay
Get money up today
Homie so fuck whatcha say
Im gone do it my way cuz
I wanna know what it feel like
I wanna know what it feel like
