Lyrics: 

Eh yo it’s Jon the Journalist
We all have our own pasts that shape us right
And you got to own yours
You can diverge going forward, but that’s up to you
Just remember, no matter what path you’re on
It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey 
And Peep this
Two roads diverged in the woods 
And I - I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference
Feel that for a bit, talk to ‘em rich

Bout a 1000 blunts rolled 
Lil smoke for the road
Swishers for the stress
While he spit that petro
Heart full of go
Determined to blow
It’s all a game of chess
Don’t be no pawn for the show
So, I’m just in that lab like a chemist
Away from the gimmicks, puffin’ my spinach 
Move on a pivot I know that they mimic
They lovers and critics my last mixtape I shitted
No constipation
I might need some ventilation
Metamucil my occupation
Nigga ugghhhh!
This ain’t a job, it’s a obligation
Back to cookin’ with the Journalist
Herbalist turned specialist
Spit my story like a novelist
Burn the track up arsonist 
Took my blood phlebotomists 
But I used that shit as a catalyst
Now
I’m back on my rapper shit
Ready and willing I’m here for the killing
I die for my siblings I ride with no feelings
& this what they wanted huuuhhh?
Route I’m changing thru the seasons bruh
3rd eye road I’m proceeding 
PCH wit the ocean
I’m Steady Coastin’ nigga!!!

I’m back on the road 
Don’t which way imma go
I know I recognize forks 
Look as same as before 
But, i gotta keep it movin’ 
Yeah, gotta keep improvin’ 
I’m back on the road 
Don’t which way imma go
I know I recognize forks 
Look as same as before 
But, i gotta keep it movin’ 
Yeah, gotta keep improvin’ 

They say he was a nomad
He was so glad on the road with no map
On his own with no fans 
But he has the biggest gonads
When he raps, he brings the toe tags
That’s no cap
Let’s go back like a 4 track
To find the competition lost Lojack
Cus Rich and I be living high in a place where pigeons fly
We rap and mystify
You lames do the math and simplify 
Sweeter than a lemon pie
We ain’t stoppin’ til we get signed, Gemini
I’m over all the bullshit
No more caring if I’m foolish 
If I’m trying, then I’m dying
Man you lyin’ on your cool shit
Maybe cus I’m older 
I done got that chip up off my shoulder 
Life just got a little shorter 
Still don’t got that shit in order 
It’s all good, it’s alright
Cus while you stress, I’m living life
On this road to success, under dressed, 
A bit obsessed to do my best, above the rest
So I check directions twice
To make sure that I’m livin’ right

I’m back on the road 
Don’t which way imma go
I know I recognize forks 
Look as same as before 
But, i gotta keep it movin'
Yeah, gotta keep improvin’ 
I’m back on the road 
Don’t which way imma go
I know I recognize forks 
Look as same as before 
But, i gotta keep it movin’ 
Yeah, gotta keep improvin’

Lyrics: 
Long time no see
Yeah, we hadn’t met up in a while
But nothing changed, you look perfectly fine
You’re stunning, and prove that
You could rock the whole fashion week in some sweat pants and crew neck
No need for makeup just a grin or a smile
For real, where have you been all the time
Just tell me what you’re up to
I forget about anything in life, but not you
Love your eyes, especially if your laugh
I could watch you all day and I wouldn’t get enough
Let me hop on the bus and catch you off guard
Like you did, a while ago, with my heart
And I don’t know what to say, that‘s nothing that I‘m used to
you put a spell on me, like it’s voodoo
Tell me what you want cause I love how that sounds
So let‘s meet again for movie dates on the couch

Baby can you see how
You’re the one for me now
I never want to see you bounce
And picked up off the  rebound
You get me nervous like a pre trial
Meanwhile your smile gives life like green house
Now 
Lets take a second reminisce on our first kiss
This life that lived finally had a purpose
You gave worth to the worthless
Made me drop to my knee, catholic churches, eh
I love you is an understatement
Never going to stop 'til I’m 6 feet under pavement
And that's the truth, you make me want to be a better man
Teaching me to understand
Life has its own plans
You weren’t really in it 
Not because I didn’t want it
Never thought that I could get it
Now it’s been a minute
Girl, our love ain’t a gimmick
Other couples want to mimic
Master P the way we push limits
Eh
And we made our own lane
TBH, only thing I’d change is your last name
And to the naysayers, tryna cast shade
We’ll glow so bright, flash bang

Lyrics: 
Music
Music is my only way escaping from an ugly day
Music
Music takes me to a place, I’d never thought that I would stay

Alrighty party people, this the place to be
Let me demonstrate how to be an emcee
First you got to take the beat
And take your heart
And make ‘em sync
Then scribble something special to make the audience dream
And never ever, I mean never ever ever 
Let the passion dwindle or connection sever
'Cus we got to keep the bars clever
An endless endeavor
But it’s how we’re measured
And we always want to bring the pleasure
Yeah lets go
Lets go out and get it
Got my white tee and fitted
Sippin’ ice tea with lemon
Rockin’ Nikes with denim
Dodging snakes tryna try me with venom man
I’m on another level
I ain’t no stoppin’ where I’m going
Going all In while they foldin’
Flowin’ solid like the ocean
One can never question my devotion
Since '01 been steady coastin’
Now it’s time to lay it on ‘em
And wait
For the fame and the fortune

Music
Music is my only way escaping from an ugly day
Music
Music takes me to a place, I’d never thought that I would stay
Music
Music is my only way escaping from an ugly day
Music
Music takes me to a place, I’d never thought that I would stay

Alright mic check, one two, one two
Clear the damn room as I come through
I never thought that I would make it
To the place I am today
I never thought I’d grow the balls or be man enough to say
That I fucked around and lost my way
But music was the light that led to brighter days
My headphones were my hideaway
My life, I tried to change
Music motivated me to find my lane 
Now only right a ways

Music
Music is my only way escaping from an ugly day
Music
Music takes me to a place, I’d never thought that I would stay
Music
Music is my only way escaping from an ugly day
Music
Music takes me to a place, I’d never thought that I would stay

Lyrics:
This is more than an anthem
A musical ransom
Sixth killed the beat, bars so handsome
Delivery unique, style can’t fathom
An emcee epitome, I feel like I’m the last one
With a fast tongue, but still passed on
Can rip a mic with or without a mask on
Knew the cats in the back, mumble rap, wouldn't last long
Journalist bout to blow like a glass bong, eh
And I’m part of a movement
More like a student who’s always improvin'
Spittin' real bars on a beat you can groove with
Treatin’ your mind like your car keys and lose it
Now, let it all go
Rock your best fit and put on a show
'Cus we’re goin’ all in and I’m lettin' you know
That I’m bout to blow up, don’t keep it on the low

If you fucks with me put a mano up
The other hand filled with tequila in a cup
The beat got the heat to make senoritas jump
And the flow fuego, he got petro
In his lungs
If you fucks with me, put a mano up
The other hand filled with tequila in a cup
The beat got the heat to make senoritas jump
And the flow Fuego, he got petro
In his lungs

Let's get it, vamanos
Stand tall or fall like dominos
I’m deep like where lobster grows
Godzilla with words, monster flows
Y’all be on your fake shit, drama coach
I’m all about the real real
Tell me what the deal deal
About to fuck 'em up like pill mill
Man I’m cuttin' up this beat like I'm kill Bill
But still feel need the D league
Let the skill build, ehh
I’m ok with that 'cus you, yeah YOU
Listen to my raps
don’t think he’s all that
But think he’s not bad
He’s makin some waves
Yeah I’m poppin' like a tall can
Lame ducks fall back
Imma take my shot
Make it off glass, call that
Get the ball back
'Cus while they tryna cast shade like a straw hat
What they don’t know, when I fall, man I crawl back

If you fucks with me put a mano up
The other hand filled with tequila in a cup
The beat got the heat to make senoritas jump
And the flow fuego, he got petro
In his lungs
If you fucks with me, put a mano up
The other hand filled with tequila in a cup
The beat got the heat to make senoritas jump
And the flow Fuego, he got petro
In his lungs

Esta cancion es para el fin de semana
Get a little tipsy, have a 3 way manana
WOAH
That's ‘quila courage
Otherwise nervous but cool like a thermos
You took the bar high, imma take it the furthest
Prove to this world that I rap with a purpose
It’d help if I’d get enough people that heard this
Say you support, where’s your proof of purchase

If you fucks with me put a mano up
The other hand filled with tequila in a cup
The beat got the heat to make senoritas jump
And the flow fuego, he got petro
In his lungs
If you fucks with me, put a mano up
The other hand filled with tequila in a cup
The beat got the heat to make senoritas jump
And the flow Fuego, he got petro
In his lungs

Didn’t you hear he got gas in his lungs
Connected with Sixth man the master of drums
Sprinkled some salsa and now that we’re done
Regresar para mas diversion
Didn’t you hear he got gas in his lungs
Connected with Sixth man the master of drums
Sprinkles some salsa and now that we’re done
Regresar para mas diversion

If you fucks with me put a mano up
The other hand filled with tequila in a cup
The beat got the heat to make senoritas jump
And the flow fuego, he got petro
In his lungs
If you fucks with me, put a mano up
The other hand filled with tequila in a cup
The beat got the heat to make senoritas jump
And the flow Fuego, he got petro
In his lungs

Fuego

Hope you all enjoy this emotional rap track that serves to drive motivation in those going through a rough time. 

Lyrics: 
Why, must I always try to live my life
I Never really feel I’m doing right
Bye, over all the bullshit in my sight
Time, always finds a way to pass me by
Grind, never going stop that’s on my daughter
I became a father, and I’ve never tried harder 
To push this life farther 
Take it past the limits, no more gimmicks
Man, I’m in it and I’m never going to quit it like I’m Potter
Back on my hustle like I’m Nip 
The dinero, I’m about to flip 
I’m the hero when I write the script
Went from below zero to a hundred real quick 
Now it’s time to prove my worth 
Got to stay away from lucifer cus that’s when you get burnt 
On the right track, solo, with my mind back 
Me against the world and I like that
I got life back 

It’s ok to let it bring you down
Gather strength when no one’s around
Then make a come up out the darkness
Like the sun up, up in August 
Blind ‘em with this fucking promise! Eh
It’s ok to let it bring you down
Gather strength when no one’s around
Then make a come up out the darkness
Like the sun up, up in August 
Blind ‘em with this fucking promise! 

Now, making moves like a chess piece 
Wow, never thought God would bless me 
How did I find so much left in me
Like I got God’s plan, rewrote destiny 
And it’s feeling like a rebirth
Was so low man, prayed ‘til my knees hurt 
Laying at the bottom looking up at beauty, tree skirt
Now I put it on the track with metaphors and reverb
And ain’t a mother fucker stopping me 
I just got park place, boardwalk, monopoly
Lames out my life while I kick it like a soccer team
I must be CTRL C ‘cus everybody copy me 
Man, this the prophecy, stacking all this broccoli 
Never looking back at the past, in hyper speed 
On my own, where I like to be
Fresh start, one promise, life’s a dream

It’s ok to let it bring you down
Gather strength when no one’s around
Then make a come up out the darkness
Like the sun up, up in August 
Blind ‘em with this fucking promise! Eh
It’s ok to let it bring you down
Gather strength when no one’s around
Then make a come up out the darkness
Like the sun up, up in August 
Blind ‘em with this fucking promise! EH
