Ain't On The List / Fractals

nicknames x sylo, the first of many🤞

lyrics:
[Intro: Nicknames & Royce Fisherman]
Hey ya, hey ya
Yo Nicknames
Sylo shit
Ha, what’s up

[Chorus: Nicknames]
Stayed up all night past dawn
We give no fucks living how we want
We make the party go on
And we’re the reason why it started up at all
Baby I don’t wanna waste a minute
I just wanna stay here with ya

[Verse 1: Nicknames]
Yeah the sun came out for us, but no one’s awake
Early birds can get the worm well does it count if you stay up late?
The world is ours and it’s here for the taking
Damn I really love this life that I’m making
We can sleep till the sun comes down
Start the night, and I hope that you’ll come around, yeah yeah
Baby that’s how I’m feeling yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Chorus: Nicknames & Royce Fisherman]
Stayed up all night past dawn
We give no fucks living how we want
We make the party go on
And we’re the reason why it started up at all
Baby I don’t wanna waste a minute (let’s get this shit going now)
I just wanna stay here with ya (ay)

[Verse 2: Royce Fisherman]
Ay, I wanna smoke, and mix drinks with sprite
On the phone why’d you call you in LA tonight
Ok the picture perfect photo is me and you drinking soda mixed with things we shouldn’t know of but we know, ay ok
Pretty little face, thick hips small waist, and she looking so fine like the china kine plates
I hope we wake up in the morning
Since we both

[Bridge: Nicknames]
Stayed up all night past (ay)
We get no sleep living how we want
We live life right while we’re young
And make the best of it all before it’s gone
Baby I don’t wanna waste a minute
I just wanna stay here with ya

[Outro: Nicknames]
Ohhh
Da da da da da da da, da da
Ahhhh
Da da da da da da da, da, da
Da, yeah

Dawn (feat. Royce Fisherman)

production by nicknames, lyrics by jacob daley...BITCH!

lyrics:
[Verse 1: Jacob Daley]
Less lighting
Less photos
Less eyes on us as the night goes
I could turn a barcrawl
To a nightclub
To a private light show make a dice roll
Tread light but tonight let your life go
Throw a Molotov cocktail at the five 0
One tab see fractals when eye closed
Two tabs a walk on a tight rope
Me and five tigers in an iso
Up and Wednesday night have your mind blown
I deserve way more than a curve or a eye roll
Movement fall in a cycle

[Chorus: Nicknames]
What’s your name
Who’d you bring
And are they on some shit
Acting strange
With the gang
Who you know in this bitch
Sorry mane but I can’t
Cause you ain’t on the list
Yeah you ain’t on the list
Nah nah you ain’t on the list

[Verse 2: Jacob Daley]
I could act too suave by the poolside
I’m tryna see if ur here for the mula
No berrings run til this dies
No where to run or to hide
I could be many things for you
We could still keep it chill
Cause this life is a dream to us
It ain’t red pill blue pill
Go ahead pop both tell me how you feel
Lemme know if it all gets to real
We can conquer the night at your will
And tell me that she’s your type
Make up waist up ain’t the easy type
In my lane taking aim for the kill
Hit the deck baby this ain’t no drill
See the game see my name on the bill
She less honest, more toxic
More answers still but more problems
More monologues in my boxers
I can’t be stressed bout no opps that pray I don’t make vacays in no tropics
Switch topics I-I-I’m on
Fake to the face then like that I’m gone
Race to the paper no snakes aboard
I vacate the scene
And chase what I want
Like that I'm gone
Like that I'm gone
I wake up at 12:45
With one black eye and crust on my eye lids
How did I end up on this island
One too many won’t get the right mix
Curtains open sun filters vibrant
Less silence get violent

[Chorus: Nicknames]
What’s your name
Who’d you bring
And are they on some shit
Acting strange
With the gang
Who you know in this bitch
Sorry mane but I can’t
Cause you ain’t on the list
Yeah you ain’t on the list
Nah nah you ain’t on the list
What’s your name
Who’d you bring
And are they on some shit
Acting strange
With the gang
Who you know in this bitch
Sorry mane but I can’t
Cause you ain’t on the list
Yeah you ain’t on the list
Nah nah you ain’t on the list


[Outro: Nicknames]
Bitch
Bitch
Bitch
Cause you ain’t on the list bitch

Fractals

The first single from my project, "It's Funny How Things Unfold." ha ha haaa

Jealous Boys

Sometimes you gotta just waste the time away.. who could blame you? Produced by yours truly & Royce Katsura

lyrics:
[Verse 1: Royce Fisherman]
I've been tainted (that's gross)
By the stains of you (that's your fault)
I can't erase the smear of gray you lit the final fuse (bow)
And I've been patient (I have)
I wait for change from you (indeed)
But I guess you'll be dead soon, while my lungs fill with all your fumes
And
I hate thinking about it
Problems and your nonsense
Desperate for an option, I don't know
Where am I all without it
There's nothing but violence and screaming and shouting, down below
Down below
Low, low, low
Down below

[Chorus 1: Royce Fisherman]
Smoke and drink
Smoke and drink
No time to stop and think
Don't give a fuck if we lose yeah
Smoke and drink
Smoke and drink
I think I'm past the brink
Of not giving one fuck or two yeah
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na, yeah
Na na na na na (sometimes I, smoke)
Na na na na na (sometimes I, drink)
Na na na na na (sometimes I)
Na na na na na, yeah

[Verse 2: Nicknames]
Sometimes I smoke and drink
Smoke and drink
But that's not all I think about I'd be lying on the ground, fucking my whole life up
Would always need time I can take off
And be spending all my money on some fake-ups, feeling down, while the world keeps spinning round me
But I just think about the million things
Causing all this weight upon my shoulder and I might sink
There's no escaping all the real, real things in our lives
So if I can take a break then I might
So we sit back and have a
So we sit back and have a
So we sit back and have a

[Chorus 2: Royce Fisherman & Nicknames]
Smoke and drink
Smoke and drink
No time to stop and think
Don't give a fuck if we lose yeah (so we sit back and have a)
Smoke and drink
Smoke and drink
I think I'm past the brink
Of not giving one fuck or two yeah (who gives a, who gives a)
Na na na na na (sometimes you gotta just waste the time away, what a shame)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na, yeah
Na na na na na (sometimes you gotta just waste the time away, who could blame you)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na, yeah

Smoke & Drink

i wake up.

lyrics:
[Verse 1: Royce Fisherman]
Can’t give a reason I’m just
Trying to believe I can trust
My inner soul and my guts
Spew out from my own disgust
With inner angels I must
Fly higher than they could cause
I know I’ll never be one
No I won’t ever be, so

[Chorus: Royce Fisherman]
Break what you wanna
Take what you wanna
Say what you wanna say
Because I lay waiting for you
Pray that you know a
Way you can help me escape

[Verse 2: Nicknames]
I wake up
Another day without a destination
I’ve turned to stone with no imagination
Waiting around impatiently on something to change
But life gets in the way
It’s all moving so fast please just give me a break
I’m looking at all of the stars and nothing’s even in the way
From you coming down to me taking me holding me letting me stay
Stay, with you
So baby before it’s too late
Lift me up into your space
And I swear you can

[Chorus]
Break what you wanna
Take what you wanna
Say what you wanna say (what you wanna say)
Because I lay waiting for you (I lay)
Pray that you know a (I pray)
Way you can help me (uh)

[Outro]
Just a way
What you wanna (ooh)
Say, what you wanna say
I just, I just need a way
To escape
Out of here

Abduction 2021 (feat. Royce Fisherman)

Life can't get better than this life is as good as it gets

Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4c80s3_JmI

lyrics:
[Verse 1: Royce Fisherman & Nicknames]
Born out of fate
In a world that never floods without flames (everything’s burning down)
One and the same
Everything just seems to follow the same
We fuck up won’t change
Ok I know that everyday alive’s no more than a test
Roll out of bed and stay alive and bring another check
Our livelihood depends on dollar bills work yourself to death
Life can’t get better than this
Life is as good as it gets

[Chorus:]
Oh what a time to be alive
Oh what a time oh what a time
Oh what a time to be alive

[Verse 2: Nicknames & Royce Fisherman]
Oh shit
If you ain’t noticed (oh shit)
I keep on losing focus (oh shit)
And faith and hope so I just keep on hoping that I’ll notice a change
In my emotions or may
-be dopamine in my brain
So I don’t keep on waking up thinking I’m going insane
I-i-i-I’m thinking about my options I could wait to die with pride
Or I could maybe say bitch suck my dick and smoke some weed and hide
And I could do a lot of things to help myself I can’t decide
Bitch look how lucky we all are to get this high

[Chorus]
Oh what a time to be alive
Oh what a time oh what a time
Oh what a time to be alive

[Bridge]
Da da da da da (what a time ,what a time to be alive)
Da da da da da, da da da da (what a time, what a motherfucking time)
Da da da da da (what a time, what a time to be alive)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Outro]
What a motherfucking time
What a time to be alive (I do whatever the fuck I want)
Said what a motherfucking time time time time, yeah, time (I feel free)
What a time to be a (what a time, what a time to be alive)
Da da da da da (what a time, what a time to be alive)
Da da da da da, da da da da (what a time, what a motherfucking time)
Da da da da da (what a time, what a time to be alive)
Ooohwaaaa

Oh, What A Time (feat. Royce Fisherman)

i felt lazy and shitty today and wanted to change it so decided to start and finish a song. it's called lazy

lyrics:
god feel like im always lazy
i wonder if god made me at half of the speed
as she did with my friends
and my peers
so my lens
isn’t clear
and my future 
feels foggy
and blurred
uh yeah
so yeah i just made this sorry ass beat
just so that i could talk you over your screen
and could ask 
if you kept all your dreams
or they washed away clean
and left you
jaded and tired
and abused
by the endless cycle of motion 
we call our everyday lives
and the rules and regulations that are clearly contrived
and the light and hope and glimmer escaping through the eyes
of your friends and family and just strangers walking by 
but i guess that’s life
we all live
and we die
and we all waste countless hours so why shouldn’t i waste mine
i mean our eyes are closed and we're asleep a fourth of our time
so yeah
what do you think?
oh i just think god feel like im always lazy
and oh my god i need to stop tryna be deep
there’s just so so much
i could tend to
and friendships 
to mend with
who ever i've had in my life
and so yeah i should get out and change my mood
but i think id rather sit here and consume
whatever my friends and celebs 
posted up and whats trending
the days ending
so what can i do?
oh well

Lazy
