TL's Favorite Releases: August 2021

My chain let there be light like Genesis 
Just cop the 21 G80 Genesis
Got the 380 cocked from my Nemesis 
Too humble and the game steals ya innocence 

Now it's pay me first, what's the benefits?
Had to work harder than some immigrants
Head to learn the lessons, stay diligent

Uh superhuman like limitless
Money in my mailbox like stimulus 
I was broke IRS had me limited
But i got the gifts Saint Nicholas
She a freak, real naughty feels different
They'll try to block you out if indigenous 
But you can't stop God's instruments
Life playing out how we pictured it
You can't judge a man off one incident

This important, you important real important

30 bands
60 bands
90 
I need all my land, and that mule
dark skin, house like the promise land


Free all my dawgs in false imprisonment

Always a white dude in a picture man,  no coincidence

It's a maze labyrinth it's a system yea
Gotta unlock yourself cause you infinite 
Activate them chakras hope you listening
Articulate transforming thru discipline

Pick my brain 
3 stacks and Kanye
Stevie Wonder and Jay
mixed a little Dilla
Bowie and Marvin Gaye

I was made for this
Greatest artist alive 
I can say that shit

Bar up ya favorite rapper's favorite rapper
Do it blind fold
Like I drive a Mercedes backwards

I should of signed with Dr Dre
put me on Shady/After
Math running up the numbers
like I'm skipping chapters

Damn Troy too hot, they better get a spatular
graduated hard knocks, I didn't get a bachelors 

Went to Troy University

Promise Land [Prod. TROY NōKA]

I know I know
I know everything
til I fall on my back
And get stuck like turtles

Seen all before
Running laps like gerbils

Tryna get out
Mishaps and hurdles

Everybody poppin'
Take the scraps and kernels

I’m like God what’s good
moved me back in circles

I stay to myself
So these raps my journals

You know the raps inferno

And you know these girls all on ya
Back and sternum

Soon as ya shit crack
They be all your sack

But when you coming up
Act like you maccin' in German

You know thats tabernacle, no sermon

I know know know
Things gon get better

I should quit my job and get this cheddar
We ain’t got forever
and we ain't bout to settle 
Need the watch on drip*
Look Like I’m drooling on the bezel

God shined his light on me
So I’m dueling with devil

Tryna stay awake
Keep it moving
On the day to day

Rat race
Gotta make a way

smoke the 8th away

Dream killers tryna take my fate away
Not today

On these tracks I be taking off*
Holidays

I need a bad yellow bone
Billie holiday

Bars like Conway
Beats like Dr. Dre*
Y’all be making albums bout nothing like Wale
I be spitting real deal
RIP Dante
Wright

Just know it’s gon be alright

Just live your life

God shined his light on me
So I’m dueling with devil

Tryna stay awake
Keep it moving
take it day by day*

I Know [Prod. TROY NōKA]

1st verse:
Can’t sit in the back cause I’m First class 

Jump on the track and I’m gon spazz 

You wasting my time, no phone tag 

I ain’t calling you back if it ain’t a bag 

Can’t go out bitter like Damon dash 

These rappers my kids but I ain’t a dad 

Lewis Hamilton ain’t coming last 

If I did it’s arm & hammer, breaking bad 


Balance the grind Tyshawn Jones 

She gave me dome had my mind blown 

I'm one of kind they just my clones 

They got me twisted like cyclones 

When it’s my time they gon know it’s over 

Not just a star I’m a super nova 

When they say Troy put it next to Hova 

She like my style like I’m Fashionova 

Hook:
Can’t sit in the back like I’m Rosa parks 
They ride my wave like it’s Noah’s Ark 

2nd verse:
I got some friends 
She got some friends 
Did her lips 
Bleached her skin 

These Hollywood girls 
Ain’t bout to let that Ford Fusion in 

Gotta get a used Benz 
Look like you ooze ends 
Just to get some play these days 
Better be hooping

Cause she ain’t bout to sit in the back 
Like Rosa parks 
She need a new Birkin purse in her lap 
Some Chrome Hearts 

So she gotta be in the front 
Find a reason to stunt 
And if her man can’t do it 
She still gon get what she want 


Hook:
Can’t sit in the back like I’m Rosa parks 
They ride my wave like it’s Noah’s Ark

Rosa Parks [Prod. TROY NōKA]

Lyrics:

Hook:
Choose you baby 
 
I been shining too much on em lately, 
I’m upgrading

They can’t phase me 

Ima bet on myself 
If I’m crazy 

For thinking 
Im amazing 

If I won’t say I’m the best 
Who gon say it?

Choose you

1st Verse:

Man, niggaz ain't even creative
Tryna tell me who they favorite
Say my songs ain't for the playlist
Agent Smith clones in the Matrix

Everybody wanna try to be the boss
Niggaz try to play me, get played off
Ima do the work, watch it pay off
Hit-lear jets, no Adolf

Copycat generation 
Where's your imagination?
You know this too real they be hating
It ain't my song, switch the station

Thriller bad #1 like Michael
Everybody ain't gonna like you
The game starting to feel like high school
You 1 of 1 ain't nobody like you

Hook:
Choose you baby 
 
I been shining too much on em lately, 
I’m upgrading

They can’t phase me 

Ima bet on myself 
If I’m crazy 

For thinking 
Im amazing 

If I won’t say I’m the best 
Who gon say it?

Choose you

2nd Verse:

So you got a 9-5, that's all good
Can't pay your bills, that's not good
Gave up quick, that's not good
Now you talking bout how I can't do it

Never gave yourself a chance at your dreams
So you feeling misunderstood
You don't wanna be at your grave one day with your dreams from childhood
Staring in your face like you didn't give us a try to see if you would
Pop like Cardi B in New York Dolls
Vh1 popping off of cable
Now she popping off at labels
My manager asked "Are you disabled?
Please no daydreaming on the job, sanitize all them tables"

Hook:
Choose you baby 
 
I been shining too much on em lately, 
I’m upgrading

They can’t phase me 

Ima bet on myself 
If I’m crazy 

For thinking 
Im amazing 

If I won’t say I’m the best 
Who gon say it?

Choose you

Choose You [Prod. TROY NōKA]

I’m chilling
She in her feeling

Too fly
To dodge
I’m in the building

Real spit

Gotta make a million

Fuck that I gotta make a billion

Fuck that just making a living

I got visions of the squad making a killing

Cigars on a island in the plushist villa

They just laid up, I’m on my Reggie Miller

Hook:
Champs don’t give up
The buzz getting bigger
How we gon loose when the
Team all winners?
Haters gon talk but We ain’t gon listen
x2

They gon talk but my ears closed
I just slide on the track
Rail roads
In the wind
Blowing big
Sail boats
Got em hooked
From CO to LA like I sell Coke

I been climbing so long
Ima real goat

gotta feel rich inside even if you real broke
Visualize, energize
Obstacles, minimize
It’s the war in ya mind
That keeps you from the finish line

Hook:
Champs don’t give up
My buzz getting bigger
How we gon loose when the
Team all winners?
Haters gon talk but we ain’t gon listen
x2

Lyrics:

Hook:
I just want the whole thang
I don't want a piece of
The pie got my eye on the cheese
Lil Caesars

1st verse:

Get up, get out, and get something yeah
I got a goal
Anything I want, I hold
Poverty's in the mind
Doors open for the bold
Never had a silver spoon so we put diamonds in the mold
From projects full of dope
To generations full of hope
From dead fathers
And mothers strong as Hercules that could do both
I mean work and provide
Nurture and emphasize
The importance of positive thought and talk in the mind

Shoutout to momma

Hook:
I just want the whole thang
I don't want a piece of
The pie got my eye on the cheese
Lil Caesars

2nd verse;
Need 
Big cheese
Gotta keep the whip clean
I be fly as Frisbees
Riding like a 10 speed
Use to know a cutie in a Audi
Hot as Kimchi
But she always needed cash driving around on empty
I be full of ideas
They be full of envy
My rug ain't from Ikea
Boujee in a Bentley
Shopping for Prada online
Wearing Fendi
If I talk about real shit 
It work against me against me

Hook:
I just want the whole thang
I don't want a piece of
The pie got my eye on the cheese
Lil Caesars

Little Caesars [Prod. TROY NōKA]

Lyrics: 

1st verse:

wanna live forever 
Realize the truth like I’m Neo 

On my knees praying 
Gods grace let me heal 

Working on myself 
It ain’t a game this shit real 

The ones that treat you bad
That’s really just how they feel 
About they own life 

Just projecting out the pain 
Gotta fix ya insides 
That’s the only way to change 

On T.V. it’s the money and the cars 
And the fame 
Addicted to attention 
That prescription makes you lame 

I don’t be on the gram 
I be with the fam 

Better get a life 
And quit it with them scams 

Swag lofty 
Plus I’m good with myself 

All that hating that they doing 
Ain’t good for they health 


Hook:

I’m not a trapper but my rapping motivational 
Save the hate for my spam Ima make it out 

Keep going 
Happy for you if you winning 

Baby keep going 
You a boss not a quitter


2nd verse:

Bars like detention 
Stack the bread like bleachers 
Hustle like I’m moving Adele 
No features 
Troy cold, got the trunk shaking 
No seizures 
Make the song same day, then drop it 
No teaser 

I’m a black idol 
Cross the street like the Beetles 
Doors suicidal 
step out they wanna meet him 

I ain’t famous yet 
But that’s the shit that I be dreaming 
Wanna inspire my people to live 
And keep believing 

Hook:

I’m not a trapper but my rapping motivational 
Save the hate for my spam Ima make it out 

Keep going 
Happy for you if you winning 

Baby keep going 
You a boss not a quitter

3rd verse:

Hands up 
Stand up
Real nigga anthems 
Pass my cigars
So I can light it off the candles 
I’m in boss mode 
Do it all like Costco 
chain like Moscow 
Wrist on frost mode 

I remember pulling up the jag at Roscoes 
Get a “Country Boy” and a “Sunset” 
On sunset 
Tryna catch the sunset 
My son set 
Royalites in my safe 
They love to see you doing bad 
So ima ball in they face 

Hook:

I’m not a trapper but my rapping motivational 
Save the hate for my spam Ima make it out 

Keep going 
Happy for you if you winning 

Baby keep going 
You a boss not a quitter

Stayed by my side 10 toes together 

Vows on the lines, unfold the letters

Lyrics:

Hook:
I'm connected to the universe/
I'm connected to the stars/
I'm connected to the Moon, Saturn, Venus and Mars/
I'm connected to the planet/
I'm connected to the dirt/
I'm connected to the roots, water, fire, air, earth/

Verse:
Connected in many ways, perfection/
I don't mean to 1 up like 11 but I'm the next one/
I'm in God mode, I don't hang around with people I wouldn't die for/
Give it space...stay mindful/
The bigger your ego, bigger your blindfold/
I'm connected to the source like timecode/
Understand the tribe we derived from was stifled/
Maintain the frames in the brain, new Gestapo/
John H. Clarke's what they don't wanna rival/
Got jewels like the bible, it's all Ma'at, I see the Fibonacci spirals/

Hook:
I'm connected to the universe/
I'm connected to the stars/
I'm connected to the Moon, Saturn, Venus and Mars/
I'm connected to the planet/
I'm connected to the dirt/
I'm connected to the roots, water, fire, air, earth/

Gon fly, no lie, guess why? I'm connected to the sky
