The question of "Do I Know What I'm Doing" has really been present throughout this production process so I wanted to make a jam about that specifically. 

The vibe of this record is a little different than the rest of the album. The drum groove has an island tinge to it. The bass line provide top and bottom line melodies to count on while the synths and percussion drop in and out to aid with the overall flow of the vibe.

I hope you know that this is the right way
And not the tonight way
Just what's in sight way
I hope you know that this is the right way
Because we're runnin' out of time

Whoa
Damn
Lookin' in the mirra
Eyes on the prize
See a little cleara
Get alil neara
I could reach out
Grip my fingaz before the time runs out
Fuck the stingers I think they comin' knives out
No more shadows inside my mind no doubt
No more bottles inside I'm fine breathe out
Ima stand out me no come for the clout
Nah
Body body just twist when ya hear it
Deep in ya spirit
A lesser man finna fear it
The heat I sear it
Tear when ya comin' near
But don't get too close
Cuz only God I fear
Let that go ear to ear
I swear I'm so sincere
Yah
Watch the sharks posted up by the pier
No peer that I'm used too
It's by my own hand
Use my ears just for the view
Cuz time like quicksand
So

I hope you know that this is the right way
And not the tonight way
Just what's in sight way
I hope you know that this is the right way
Because we're runnin' out of time

U know where you goin'?
You know where you comin' from?
When the wind blowin'
Cold make ya fingaz numb
I see the liquor pourin' and I'm gittin some
Smoke passin' now we activated gettin' dumb
No plastic all glass when you throwin' them
No spine too flaccid when you owin' them
No shine I ain't hatin' but you go with them
No lime ayo you gotta do a show with them
One time
One bar I pull out the sky
We sky high dappin' up God
Got tah try
No lie
No sigh I'm just havin' fun
Too many one and done
Nobody stick around
Lookin' at the mud it's no tracks
All facts
If you gettin' hyper relax
Get stacks
Vocals layin' down maad tracks on tracks
And my shit always top notch
Neva whack

I hope you know that this is the right way
And not the tonight way
Just what's in sight way
I hope you know that this is the right way
Because we're runnin' out of time

Please believe me when I tell you that I
Breathe in deep and I can connect you to
My imagination with these bars so
Pay attention fruit is from these scars

Please believe me when I tell you that I
Breathe in deep and I can connect you to
My imagination with these bars so
Pay attention fruit is from these scars

Fruit from these scars produce bars
Fruit from bad deeds produce bars
Fruit from bad seeds come back hard
Roll up maad trees so you don't start

So you don't flip out and fall apart
So you can show the homies better ways to start
Tell all of ya friends this is from the heart
Do you know the way way before ya start
Souls caught in crossfire
Ascend higher to a plane
A domain where shit remain insane
I can't explain ya brain is on sugar Cain
And will remain as long as they let the rappers in
Ready aim
Bars ready to go and kill again
Ain't no discussion
Destructive percussive rappin' mayne
In mah lane
Eyes open
I'm like a hurricane
I can see the destination through the window payne

I hope you know that this is the right way
And not the tonight way
Just what's in sight way
I hope you know that this is the right way
Because we're runnin' out of time

I hope you know that this is the right way
And not the tonight way
Just what's in sight way
I hope you know that this is the right way
Because we're runnin' out of time
