6th track on Defining Myself, The Mixtape.

Lyrics:
Standin in a marble hallway
dressed up, I must fess up,
I've had dreams of livin' lavish before I'm layin face up
Stuffed in a casket with the LACE, unh...
Yknow, I'm a ride or die for the hip-hop, 
So if I drop early it's cause I would never stop,
Persistent as fuck, I'm always chasin a buck, but not out of love
I need it on GAWD.
Probably gonna have to give support to my moms,
Haven't seen her in a while,
haven't seen my distant family either
But still I try to smile, 
I stay high profile
In hopes that the right ones notice,
Im en route to be the dopest in this game 
And I know this 
Got plans ready to open
Unfold like origami,
I don't want you around if I don't know that you got me, 
And I know that there'll be problems  probably,
But have faith in my abilities to solve these
I can handle the worst of it 
I've already had my rock bottoms,
Comin up for me aint never been to hard

You know I love to do this rap shit
You know? It'll be the death of me,
I don't mean to brag, I'm just so proud of what I have done
And where I am going.

And It only gets better from here,
Can't wait till I'm a veteran here,
betterin myself caused me to be
better than all my peers or atleast I'm better than 
all I hear on the streets around me lately, like
Wouldn't it be ironic if right now heaven decides to take me
ready for anything
going off on the beat such serendepity
got my THC to the left of me 
Do this till there's nothing left of me
In love with the music,
16 bars is where my heart belongs,
So society says that I belong among the stars if I can handle the fast cars
money schemes, people plottin evil things
All my dreams you will see come to fruition when I make this cheese, 
I'ma
Visionary when I'm inspired,
nothing else matters, never higher than when I'm ridin the beat without a melody
and you could never tell me that I'm failing always learning 
trying for the truth I'm alwqays learning 
Trying for the truth I'm earning my wages waging war on demons in my head, in my head I head for bigger things, not lead, don't wanna end up dead
Don't wanna end up dead, no.
I said, 
i dont wanna die alone, 
no one knowin the struggles that I go through
debatin death, knowin I'm not bulletproof,
wonderin how hard that sour shoots,
need alcohol with a higher proof
at this rate I'm gonna be dead before the hours through
Drinkin shots like lead, to drown the memory of you
Drinkin shots like lead
Drinkin shots like lead

Yknow I love to do this rap shit
But I know, it'll be, the death of me
Can't keep myself from the truth
Cause they said the truth is whats gonna
set you free
Set set set you free.

Track 13 from Defining Myself, The Mixtape.


Lyrics:

Anger breeds more anger
Destroyin those around it
Hatred on your face like a banner 
I got somethin stronger
Called compassion and I love it,
You can't break my soul
You can't change my ego
You can't make me be anything other than
What I am, and I AM.
Let that line sink in for a second,
more timeless than the sands,
a piece of god, doesn't it sound quite odd,
cause
its somethin we forgot,
we the pieces to the puzzle of the lord above
Anything we imagine
we can make it happen
thats the ultimate
power of our souls and STILL we got niggas trappin

If I had all the money in the world I'd have nothin but time on my hands
So I'd probably have time to put in the plans
a pound in a day, for a day or two
of the dankest dude
Then id be on to the dabs, probably smoke an ounce of that
LSD, gettin hippy trippy then the mushrooms
Do some massive amounts of DMT then I'd probably be done, dude
After that I'd be a spiritual warrior
livin for the world
fightin for a cause,
fightin for the girls,
fightin for some love,
fightin for the right,
to get on up and destroy the law.
Destroy all the harm-
ful people in the world
holy war, for god, doesn't that sound odd
doesn't that sound cruel
doesn't that sound evil 
but it's what we do.
But it's what we do.


Lemme tell you bout what we do
speaking specifically about me 
not about people like you
You're the majority I'm the minority
but still I'm cool?
It's because people wanna be above average, I'm different, wire from a spool
Yall wool from a thread
I'm hard as ice
Y'all soft as a temperpedic bed
Yall soft as lead
I'ma shine like diamonds,
hard as your souls,
with some soul you can get behind, and
I'M with the sound
I'M with the groove
that makes people of all colours shake their feet and tap
to the sounds I'm layin down in the booth
OOOH yeah,
I'm cool, like ICE COLD,
ICE COLD
Call me Clarence Worley, approved by Elvis Presley I'm so Ice cooldd
Ice cold, Ice cold.

5th Track off Defining Myself, The Mixtape.

Lyrics:

Very deep, oh so poetic your flow so connected to the other dimensions
Another unlimited potentially dangerous son of the Great Spirit,
You can feel it, or you can fear it, but
Either way you know you hear the peerless sentences
inside my soundwaves created 
something so unlike the silly styles that they've made
Every time I play the game I stay with my own rules,
maybe thats why I rule
King of nothing but still a king, how bout you?
I'm on the come up, from sun up, to sun down
You know what's going down, 
On the tracks we turn up, happiness found
From fun done, to cool sounds, 
We create chill vibes, and then they get around
I get the loud, with my dogs like POUND
We chillin, so I can keep killin, these tracks with words profound
You know how we dealin

I got the vibes if you can bring the beat,
I got the rhymes if that's what you need,
I can sing a chorus if you wanna sing along,
We can even smoke some weed as the beat goes on
As the beat goes on
As the beat goes on

(ENTER TEMPLAR)

I got the vibes if you can bring the beat,
I got the rhymes if that's what you need
I can sing a chorus if you wanna sing along
We can even smoke some weed as the beat goes on
As the beat goes on
As the beat goes on

Another day, another dollar, scammin and schemin ya way to the top
I've seen ya easily a mile away; eagle eye,it's self taught
I got what you wish you brought,
To the table I present to you the stuff of fables, I
Represent the illest of the buildin
Smokin hella weed, high in the back
See me through the smoke clouds unfurlin
The club can smell me comin I get high on the track
You can hear it in my sound and the style is hella alluring, and
I could never come down, never lie on my back, never quit
I KEEP working,
The beast coast meets yo face with a resounding smack,
Groovin' so hard it'll knock ya flat
like it took out your base,
top heavy ya fall in yo place,
on the floor,
yeah the dance floor, 
so get up and rearrange, 
get up and get strange, 
get up and get movin, 
shake the floor on this place!

Chorus.

As The Beat Goes On Ft Templar (Prod. Pete Rock)

7th track on Defining Myself, The Mixtape.

Lyrics:

When's the last time you heard a man call a woman elegant
Or heard a homie refer to his girl as being heavensent
Whens the last time you seen a woman deservin that
Someone with such class 
That you know she got an ass
But she got such a style she don't 
Need to show it off, she don't need to show her skin
Her beauty leaves you in awe, even when she blows you off
You can't help but grin, 
She got an other man, she can't spend no time with you
You ain't ballin but he is, now you wonder what you gotta do
To get a girl like that?
Spendin late nights hustlin, all you know how to do
But the money you make just ain't quite enough
The love of a fine woman usually costs more than what you got

She looks like royalty
The woman of my dreams, Like Weezy
Its a little hard for me to find her
It's not cause I ain't lookin hard
It's cause she isn't out there lookin for me,

She's out there lookin for someone who does it minor, 
These ladies never go for Mr. Right
Always goin after somethin bad, 
it must be reminiscent of the apple that the first lady Eve, had
The life uh Tyler G
ain't as hard as it might be but it might be 
missing a little love from the Mrs. Lovely,
Missus ROYALTY.
I want a woman who I can splurge on, 
And then she can return the favor and spoil me
But I'm tired of wastin my words on the girls
Who think I'm lyin when I say it's only them.
When I'm lookin for love late at night it's only them
Who do I call, who do I come to when I need a late night friend
I can be faithful if you just believe that I am

BUT these girls always in their feelings.
Always thinkin that that shit's gonna be like their last
I'm not like that dude you had last night

Track 12 from Defining Myself, The Mixtape.

Lyrics:
Got some soundwaves that are worth more than what they are marketed for
Sold for free they under appreciate these
Soundwaves that'll shake your core, 
vibrations of the poor, 
when will it be my turn for millions and airplay on the screens, please?
I was born to this, so if you mad then fate is what you hate
Do you see these 
Illiterate kids, chalkin up heads
And rakin in green 
From MORE Illiterate teens, 
Fetty wappin' and coppin cut cocaine to keep on the clean counters, pristine!
The dream is alive, 
I see it when I open my eyes,
It's not how I envisioned it but these days
Anything is better than 25 to life, got
foooood on the table (Shiiit)
These days, whats better than that? 
And being able, 
I was born with a predilection to getting paid and makin friction
I know how to cure all your afflctions
Ironically money is also the bargaining piece by which we buy addictions
It's all a choice, even the life that you livin,
Into the sea, you'll see me, when it's all over
I'm floatin away, a watery grave
It's hard to believe, my ancestors had slaves, then
Put into system, plans to enslave we, but still the
Plans of our fathers often fail, pickin the locks on my own jail cell,
Never cuttin corners but I DOOO know someone wit
cut cocaine for sale.

4th track off of Defining Myself, The Mixtape.

Lyrics:

Check out the movement
It's a spiritual revival
The positivity of my fucking team is
Possibly somethin that is unrivaled
We could be starin' down the rifle,
Confident you're shootin blanks
until we shot in the face, that's gruesome yeah I know
Gotta get my point across, we
Stubborn never quit, comin for the top
thats the mission, top tier diamond division
so we got the best chance in the city
come on fuck wit me
Nashvillians, to Clemson, yeah I'm straight chillin
On the beast coast, bring it back License To Ill, yeah
Bring it back, lemme tell you how I feel
Lil Wayne, god damn, you know I ain't got no ceilings
Fuck that
Bring it back, Birdman, ready to pop some bottles
Dropped outa college, barely made it in highschool
And still I know I'ma be datin them models,
So go ahead and strip down, girrrl
I'm about to head outa town, girlll
We ain't got too much time, girl
So tell me what's all on yo mind, 
give me head if we ain't fuckin thats fine
But after that I gotta get back on my grind

Yeah, after that I gotta get back on my grind..
It's my time to shine,
As well as my team
Templar the Saint
Apollo the Deity
Rockin' with the man you know it's Tyler G

And Ohhhh LORD
You know we here to make some noise, 
Even if you kill the lights, cut the cords, yknow we still dem boys!
Turnin up, goin to sleep at 4
Don't know how I do this shit on gawd
Mental transition, cookin like kitchen
Build it up, flows I am switchin damn thats odddd
But lemme telllll ya I'm so tired of these sad songgs
Play a different one, 
choose a different role
Change your emotions
Stop feelin so cold
Stop feelin so hurt
Its time to let it go
I mean that shit really works, yeah
And you really worth it, yeah
I mean nobodies perfect, yeah
Miley Cyrus, wasn't that her shit?
Damn, and now look at that bitch, she's famous
Hoow'd that happen
She probably made millions 
so what could you do?
Possibly billions
I believe in you!
You can make it,
I aint playin!
I know I will
Tell me why you waitin,
get that shit, its yours for the takin
I'm just preachin what I never heard
Truth is we are like clay men,
To break the mold you can learn
It's time to cross those bridges 
instead of lettin em burn
Its yo burn


Flost (Prod. Liferoot)

8th track on Defining Myself, The Mixtape.

Lyrics:
Lookin for the right sound to narrate my with
Lookin for some background noise to mark the time and to help me get
in the zone, im with the vibes you catch the drift
shits wet, slip n' slide, shots wet no bricks inside the circular .line
Holy trinity it is my divinity
that keeps me sane inside
No one to blame but I
but that's besides the point the joint is LIT
like weed and clubs the entendre is SET
Deja vu the posse is sent,
To tell of my coming and collect a couple checks
To attract the bees the honey is in my hands
your business we expect
nothing next but drugs and empty promises
to fulfill your next breathe
but for me its hard to place a punctuation
I keep rappin and the break is comin
I know they're waitin..
It's about the placement,
It's about the HATEERRSS,
Don't know why they hatin
I'll see them later
Bout time they're wastin..
Wonder what emotion these spirits be laced with?
Probably jealousy or envy of me
because I am a free
Probably jealousy or envy of these
expressions by me
I keep doing it though
Cause I love to see old friends hatin
Dont know why dey hatin
Ill see them later
BOUT TIME they're wastin (away)
wonder what emotion these spirits be laced with!

Skydivin', keep climbin
Aerial acrobatics like a bird, Im flyin
on the beat, ride the sound
Get up, Get down
Move around!

It's like, I could fly away anyday,
sprout some wings and morph into a peregrine
Falcon, tell you bout the birds and the bees, no doubt man
No doubt dude
No doubt, who??
Gwen Stefani add mulan, we just 
discovered the roots of babylon
beauty and unlocked bonds
unrestrained love evergone
You never ever lost you just discover ways to stop
progression from flowing
and you know me 
im just hoping that 
one day 
all my 
ways of 
flowing 
on the beat 
will make the money start 
snowin on me
Just so we, as in all the people around, can see a
change in scenery as in a change in living scenes like daily ways habits persuaded nothing says we can't equate natures beauty by millions to date
A trip into the forest is better for us than to the casino to play
Russian roulette with your very own spirit
Gamblin your life away, what do we do with our seconds, it's always a battle
do you recognize that?
Don't forget your time is precious,
you may overlook words, but don't look and LAUGH
Because complacency is a disease with a terrible aftermath
And trust me you don't wanna face that
You'll hate yourself when your dreams ain't achieved
And it's you to blame for all of that
Listen to me and BELIEVE.

Skydivin', keep climbin,
Aerial acrobatics, like a bird, I'm flying
On the beat, ride the sound
Get up, get down,
Move around!

Track 9 from Defining Myself, The Mixtape.

Lyrics:

Time to take a trip, its
crazy how we always waitin
Lemme hit you wit a tip
Don't spend your time sittin for more than a little bit,
You gotta be quick, speed is what you really need
Gotta have the right tempo to get these chicks
bouncin on they feet
And if you think it takes more, lemme give you a little deets, the
Devils in the details 
my minds on the music,
Aaron almighty, I got the power and I cant abuse it,
If I fall off then I lose it, 
so Ima keep rollin and keep holdin
on to my future, In a cool whip
Got some coolwhip
On my ladies titties!
NIkes on my feet, (JUST DO IT!!)
I got dreams, explicit ones gotta make the shit happen
I won't stop goin hard till everybody clappin
I can't stop goin hard till everyone is clappin!!!
Cmon lemme hear some action!
Life's a party, live it up and don't stop laughin
ayyyyyy
gettin goofy while high altitude
I love being high, double entendre
Florida born, Ponce De Leon is my homie,
I love to turn up, never shut down
Never shut up, people say I'm a clown,
I don't really give a fuck
Hater's always gonna be around,
Haters ALWAYS gonna be around!
So fuck that shit,
Just do you, get up and throw down
Get up and throw down,
Get up and throw down!!!

Right now, for now, let's just get crunk
Right now, for now I wanna roll up
Right now for now just burn up
And if you got some problems don't say nuffin
Just turn up
turn up
Get crunk
Don't give a fuck

Right now for now let's just get crunk
Right now for now roll up
Right now, burn up
Throw down, mayne, turn UP
Right now...?
We just tryna party!!!

And when I hit the club, man
When I hit the show
When I enter a building they look at me and say "oh no",
Cause I'm here to make those speakers blow,
Like a terrorist, scarin' grannies with soundwaves for sho!
Never known to fuck wit a hoe,
I look for the baddest bitch in the club to come home with me
Afterwords
Nothin to say after shes
Speechless, no words, higher than if 
we been flyin connectin flights with the metal birds

10th track on Defining Myself, The Mixtape.

Lyrics:

These guns are shootin but they don't know what they're shootin for
Are you ready to settle the score?
Let's start a war.
Attitudes are now the problem we are fightin for
You got you and yours?
I PROMISE you we got more....


Mind Programming
Straight through the TV, what you hear and what you see
Mind Programming
The signal won't reach me, 
On my way to unplugging
3rd eye antenna jamming
Alien ant farm for the few
Monkey see, monkey do
I call it
Mind Programming
Mind Programming

They've been tryin to control us
Feed you fear then dissapear with lies like niacin, burnin my insides
I can't be lright with this
Mind programmin at it's finest,
Body counts keep on pilin, children dyin, got me cryin
(Mind programmin)
Cuz you know the worst part is? 
They dyin be the hands of other kids, or 
by the hands of supposed saviors
Killers in uniform, coppers of course, be warned we shoot back now?
We got hate crimes, gangwar, and racial tension in the air
I wonder what its for
(Mind programming)
Welcome to the U. S. heres the grand tour, to the right you'll see new york
stacked tall, wall street got money off shores,
to the left theres cali, a 
beautiful resort but
shootings happen daily if you lookin in the right parts,
and dont get me started bout Chicago or Detroit, 
Memphis or the dirty Myrtle,
If you wanna talk bout real shit lets talk bout the murder, man..
Fuck the Trump,
But still the masses see nothin I'm wantin Zion, y'know,
I'm so tired of this Babylon,
And yet the story still goes on,
whether I like it or not, 
We used to have 99 problems, 
Now it feels like 1000...
And you wonder why that is?
I call it MIND PROGRAMMING.

Straight through the TV, what you hear and what you see.
Mind programming, the signal won't reach me, 
on my way to unplugging, 3rd eye antenna jamming
Alien ant farm for the few. 
Monkey see, monkey do
I calls it
MIND PROGRAMMING,
