act 1::


verse1 ::

yeah, on the day i arrived - september 8th, 2009

the sun shined, parted from the clouds in the sky

solar eclipse, crowds watch and cover their eyes 

mother smiled, wiping tears from her eyes as she cried 

birth of the golden child as i walk in the steps of the lord

see what’s in store, a product they could never afford 

sent from heaven to fight the devil, now i’m givin him hell

i prevail against the ruthless fought tooth and a nail

yeah, the time is now, what you waitin for?

you niggas don’t even know what you was hatin for

god gifted me with everything i was prayin for 

got my head in the clouds, but the stars are what im 
aimin for

the difference is, the ignorance in the system we 
livin in

they take us for granted, take advantage of what we givin them

been at war with the poor for ages, pour for the warriors slain

pray the ones livin can find hope before it’s a grave

thought niggas would keep it real but no one cares bout how you feel if there’s nothin for them to gain 

so i spare myself the pain, by stayin to myself

i started to lose hope, and started to gain stress

to the point where i felt my only option was death

my life was slippin away, but as i caught my last breath, i realized

the fear lies in myself, it got the best of me

kept my faith in the lord and savior, i know he testin me

procrastinating all these dreams that im chasing 

looking back on all the years that i’ve wasted 

putting blood sweat and tears in these lyrics knowing i still haven’t made it 

searching for inspiration, the frustration is written all over my face and i hate it

regardless, i know im destined for greatness

even at my lowest, i rise to the occasion

life is what you make it, remind yourself 

if you forget, in the end you define yourself



hook ::

but nobody really knows when it’s yo time to go

so before that moment comes, you better give yo heart and soul

no matter the cost, even when i’m lost in my dreams

i stay awake, yeah, aye

i said nobody really knows when it’s yo time to go

so before that moment comes, you better give yo heart 
and soul

no matter the cost, even when i’m lost in my dreams

i stay awake, will i be here forever or fade away?



act 2::


verse2 ::

nowadays, there’s a lot of demons disguised as angels

that’s why i don’t always believe what i see with my eyes

i’m thankful to be alive, as i give you food for thought 

i know those other rappers been feeding you lies

lately i’ve been stuck between what i am and what i wanna be

leaving the past behind so i can look towards the future in front of me

counting my days, tryna make it to the glory road

nothin lasts forever, that’s just how the story goes

reminiscing back to the old days

i’m not the type of nigga who raps bout cash and gold chains

i feel like im burning alive in a world that’s so cold

either you die young, or go broke

it isn’t fair, this life is no joke, i wonder if i could really shine

they say life’s a bitch, but to me she’s really fine

she had the nicest lips and pretty eyes

there was beauty in the struggle, i miss the shitty times


hook ::

but nobody really knows when it’s yo time to go

so before that moment comes, you better give yo heart and soul

no matter the cost, even when i’m lost in my dreams

i stay awake, yeah, aye

i said nobody really knows when it’s yo time to go

so before that moment comes, you better give yo heart and soul

no matter the cost, even if i’m lost in my dreams

i stay awake, will i be here forever or fade away? damn.

intro (trendan.) :: 

ayeeee yuh, it’s treee yuh

yeahhh yeah, aye, look


verse1 (trendan.) ::

food 4 thought, uh

in a couple days, i’ll prolly get a stomach ache 

stuck in a sunken place, looking back on my younger days

i could paint a picture, but what happens when the colors fade? 

should i just flip to another page? there has to be another way to numb the pain

treacherous skeletons in the closet, a vessel for malevolence 

i see the demons creeping, doors creaking, so i let them in 

yet again, got the devil meddling in my conscience

a revenant back from the dead again, but i won’t let him take me out of my element

i put my faith in the lord and savior to help me develop into a better man 

gods gift, my presence (presents) is heaven sent 

loving you was easy til we split apart, that’s when it hit my heart

it’s always the little scars that leave the biggest marks 

his heart broken, soft spoken, he lost hope in life

so he devotes his time to composing flows and rhymes that could blow ya mind

a mix of emotions, i take a sip of the potion right in the nick of a time ticking explosion

did i change for the better or worse? these are letters, not verses

i was cursed with a gift, now im clever with words 

i learned that i can’t please everyone

they only hating cus im doing something they never done

i had to learn how to love my own life before i could create a better one

on the verge of emerging from curses, demons lurking, he been searching for purpose

immersing himself in every word in these verses, bottle my emotions, i gathered gallons of tears

but i realized i won’t grow if i never challenge my fears, so i overcame

honestly, i thought my life was supposed to change after this rap shit 

but that was back when i didn’t know the game was filled with a bunch of fake niggas who be flexing money and golden chains

but soon enough, they gon know my name, i told the gang, one day im gonna shine brighter than solar rays

i never folded under pressure, if anything, i stay motivated

knowing i hold the weight of a boulder on my shoulder blades


interlude (trendan. & the adventures of cweed) ::

(mmm) whew! man…

look, mane…

it’s the adventures of - cweed got a feature wit trendan, now your adventures up! 

uhhh, uh, aye


verse2 (the adventures of cweed) ::

firstly settin’ the standard, versed my morale for miles in readiness for my canon 

a steady grip of the camera beheaded his sense of sentience 

separated endeavors to decorate my adventures on canvas, how i’m stayin’ on branding

how i’m standin’ on business, my feet in sneakers is planted

trees of deceit in a sea of pleas from the famished

did my dance, no the “do-si-do”

vices had tried to hold me close, siphon cry in my vocal tones

knowin’ in tough rains i be riding the storm 

blood stains on every page, leave my heart in my poems 

pardon my strong weakened soul, my creator will know 

bases loaded, always been the one, i’m sendin’ him home like a grandslam

blow yo shit out in a trans AM, xander flipped the sample and he made it do a handstand

can jammed up, you fucked when your mans scrambled out the pockets

in your pockets who’s your mans then?

whew, type of shit to make you kill somethin’

vicious hitting liquor getting drunker tryna feel somethin’

used to using bars to feel numb, now i heal from ‘em

still slummin’ run and get the loot (Lute) my Charlotte-ville brother

mane, that’s how we still comin’

i don’t fold under pressure, molded endeavors, and i build from it 

how i’m eating good wit a lil stomach?

folding under pressure not in my nature, i feel for ya

shit, we feel for ya
