Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
I still search for me inside of you
Hopin' that I find me too
Scared to let you go cause I might lose
But I'ma have to see it through
Cause that's the only way that I can tell
That what we have is really somethin' true
It's been a minute since a nigga fell
But somehow this feels like somethin' new

[Chorus]
Cause you got me changin'
Replacing the old habits lately
Facin' my fears and then breakin'
These walls that I built all around me so I can be safe
(Yes)
(I can be safe, but I doubt it) 


[Verse]
I think if I could replace what you've broken or lost 
The thoughts in my head, and these feelings I caught 
It wouldn't make a difference
It wouldn't make a difference
Even if I could go back to the past, I'm a lost soul
I know I'm not even close but I'm God so
That's prolly why I'm distant
I just be tryna fix Him
I needed time to confess, to myself that
This cannot work if I'm holdin' me back and I guess
You're the one then
Cause I see nobody else, you're all I have
And if I, would define that
You'd prolly say I need anti-depressants
I find it difficult to manifest this
Vision I had in mind, she got me terrified
I cannot move man I'm paralyzed, but I'm active
Darling if love is a drug, I'm an addict
Just give me double dose, give me affection
Fallin' for you is like one my fettishes
You hit my phone, I'ma answer it
You're exactly what a bad bitch is
Gorgeous, flawless
I think she might be a Goddess (she) 
She, she got my vision distorted
Light body, I'm in love with her Aura too
She like a diamond stone, spirit quartz
Got my Chakras in order
You might just be what I'm missing, I'm honest

[Pre-Chorus]
I still search for me inside of you
Hopin' that I find me too
Scared to let you go cause I might lose
But I'ma have to see it through
Cause that's the only way that I can tell
That what we have is really somethin' true
It's been a minute since a nigga fell
But somehow this feels like somethin' new

[Chorus]
Cause you got me changin'
Replacing the old habits lately
Facin' my fears and then breakin'
These walls that I built all around me so I can be safe
(I can be safe, but I doubt it)

Up Late (Intro)

Lyrics to GO, Vol. 3

For Troubled Boys

MEANWHILE IN SICILY(Can't Imagine Freestyle)

The bottom of my cup is where I find purpose...

Smoke2Much Pt. 2(Churchill Downs Freestyle)

I decided to write to really "move on"
R.I.P, bro.. you're missed.
*Sigh

Lyrics:

[Chrous]
I tried my all just to save you
I couldn't take you back/
After all that I gave you
You still betrayed me/
Fam' can't hold no grudges, I'm faithful to me
Myself, I practiced peace as I fell upon what I needed
Listen
I tried my all just to save you
I couldn't take you back/
After all that I gave you
You still betrayed me/
Fam' can't hold no grudges, I'm faithful to me
Myself, I practiced peace as I fell upon what I needed
(Listen)

[Verse]
You're the first I dun recorded with
And we made a couple songs and you were like a twin
And man I can't pretend as if I hardly cave
And when I heard the news I gazed above and cried until the sun was dim
I try to keep it lit as much as I enlighten em'
Regardless 
Nobody cares bout' what's important man
Disgusted
That's partially why I can't fuck with dems'
I'm flushin' out the toxic, coffin in my dome
That's my revenge
I'm touched
High school actin' like you're Peter Pan
/Huh
I thought we was s'posed to feed the fam
Leave em bands and then we take off/set,
And pose for cams
But fuck it man, I'll compensate for what we could've been
I hate the drugs, I had to detox so I lend a hand
/To moms and pops, I had to stop hangin' with broken men
How they fake torwards the realist nigga, can't pretend
Me and toxicity hardly mix, we never blend
/I told you, man

[Chrous]
I tried my all just to save you
I couldn't take you back/
After all that I gave you
You still betrayed me/
Fam' can't hold no grudges, I'm faithful to me
Myself, I practiced peace as I fell upon what I needed
Listen
I tried my all just to save you
I couldn't take you back/
After all that I gave you
You still betrayed me/
Fam' can't hold no grudges, I'm faithful to me
Myself, I practiced peace as I fell upon what I needed
(Listen)

[Outro]
(*Repents and weeps)
...
"I haven't completely healed from.."
("But I wish I forgave you sooner")
"I don't know man..
I'm really tryna speak but then the music is the only way I can actually communicate my feelings but..
Rest In Peace, bro"



Save You/Too Late (Single)

"Save You/Too Late" [Prod. by Ralph Tiller]

Moon Angel 23

Feels like they calling me all of em but im falling the sky's cracking it's awful
I ain't even done with em honestly see I'm powerfully breaking particles of off this,
Sky as I drop towards em all nah I'm too colossal 
You about to enter in the realm of the impossible 
No apostle so this is not my only gospel man I'm a broad soul
I can fell the light flowing through my nostrils man it's been awesome I'm a God still
But that's not the only reason why I turned fossil
Life lessons reminding me of how niggas are still I had the back still but tell me how the fuck you gon switch at my event think that I ain't mad still? It's a money thing?
Nothing's whacker than having your royalties had from making some tracks with other rappers who lack half skill
And when I charge em for features they quick to act like we beefing the reason I ain't for free you see is cuz I'm that ill
I'm actually past ill
My savagery's rapidly changing rates as the mass builds
I ain't even falling I'm using gravity homie this is harmony at will
They quick to catch feels when I'm returning their shit n I'm leveling 
Look at em mumbling claiming I'm troubling asking me who let the devil in?l
They see me horeving used to be fumbling I know that life can be humbling had to get up from rubble I'm doubling 
All of my chances til I'm unraveling all of the answers coming in 

Too nosey with these questions who asking?
Had to do a 9 to 5 now, who hasn't?qq000
Star watching while I'm teary eyed now I see the moon dancing
I ain't over man I'm too massive
The streets glancing at the man who went astray and chose the fool's passion cuz he was too poor and too black skinned ey
My shoes planted as I leap still
Cuz I don't shoot to hoop baskets I need kills 

I've seen skill 

A talent that crafted this man's fate as a gift from the demons he had and then later on asked about who fashioned it 

Mistook himself as the source as he grew passionate 

His progress was too rapid 

The sea filled with tears from his lover's eyes 

Hoping her passion will soothe his soul if he crashes



Sword sharpened my blade looks hella thin
I cut my way through space and time you don't wanna be close when I swing
Born, stuck inside camouflage but it's obvious when I sync
The only God sitting amongst kings so they
Lay forth all of the their pens cuz I'm the author too
If you niggas taking offence
Screw your attitude
Who you talking to?
Who you know went twice international in a year or two? hence, I'm unstoppable 
Shit is volatile they'll asking you who's responsible
Oh nigga's the prince?, I'm his father dude
So who is this really an honor to?
Who you know could end a troop inside it's defense, like chubacca do
I Yaba daba doo niggars back to being stage dancers still the caveman who flew off into space and came back
And my flow is intense, when I rock a booth I might just lose a tooth cuz of spitting raps like a caged animal


Fallen/ Rise

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
It go T. O. X. I. C, toxic
Red flag I believe, fuck the terms you put on me
I take flight and ease my mind too often
I been low though I'm gon' flee
Head up in the sky blow clouds, can't see
She gon' hit my phone while I'm asleep
And then reply say, "You gaslighting bastard"
T. O. X. I. C, toxic
Red flag I believe, fuck the terms you put on me
I take flight and ease my mind too often
I been low though I'm gon' flee
Head up in the sky blow clouds, can't see
She gon' hit my phone while I'm asleep
And then reply say, "You gaslighting bastard.."


[Bridge]
"I trusted you-"
"Hurt me too soon"
"I was a fool"
"Slept on me, snooze" (2x)


(Player so I proceed to play this game you invited me) 
(Darling I won't say it twice so please listen as I try to type and bleed) 
(Since I'm a player shall I proceed to play this game you invited me) 
(Darling I won't say it twice so please listen as I try to type, delete)

[Verse] 
You're bound to lose if you try go against a player
Been through so much can't give a fuck about the mayor
Minor setbacks you take em as if they were major
And truth be told I never asked you for a favour
Mi corazon not for the streets I keep it layered up
You won't find it here love, cupid hella fed up
Arrow proof I fell numb, see figures like casper
Ghosted you, I can't talk now I hit the space bar
She said something
I needed space, hardened so I can't relate
Hard for me to put my faith in others regardless your seductive traits
Like garden of Eden you're made up, tempted but I'd rather fade
Only one me so be patient, fuck your antidote

[Chorus]
T. O. X. I. C, toxic
Red flag I believe, fuck the terms you put on me
I take flight and ease my mind too often
I been low though I'm gon' flee
Head up in the sky blow clouds, can't see
She gon' hit my phone while I'm asleep
And then reply say, you gaslighting bastard (2x)
