A pocket full of shake Moms was M.I.A Top Ramen & Tuna just to get me through the day jobs still underpaid so she hustled the streets of rage no combo selling single punches just for change All i need is a stage and a mic to keep my mind uncaged fog the room as i blaze lift my words and toss em out the page hard hustle and bustle to get the bills paid minds struggle of muscle just to make us feel safe subtle out of trouble trying to make it through the day for a minute i lay then its back to uncle sam, god damn i done messed up im late but its ok cuz i dont live in fear of loosing im not willing to start choosing another place to slave cuz all i got is music a pen and paper and it keeps my mind awake

Im loving you like you want me to But try to understand that life is tough it's true I wouldn't ever lie or undermine you dear As long as you stay true and you remain right here/ I try to run away but your holding me back Cuz you wanna show your love is truth in fact I only hide sometimes to keep my mind clear Cuz just like every man love, we should not fear/ Keeping one together is definitely a challenge But holding a broken heart I just can't manage I know in a blink of an eye you can vanish So holding you close to me is simply my advantage/ V2 Here we go once Again time to unvail The life we live shouldn't feel like we're in jail Close minded dope minded so let our thoughts prevail Then inhale and exhale and set off to sail/ You listen to these rhymes cuz there smooth like butter You try to pay attention Incase I stutter / You wanna run away but I'm holding you back Cuz you gotta keep your hopes and bravery in tact/ You wanna hide but I try to keep your eyes clear And turn you on to bravery so we can conquer fear I know that Anytime one of us can disappear But that's ok as long as you remember who was here/ I try to be there like you want me to Settle conflicts without stressing you/ There's nothing worse than to leave your woman in scorn Imagine if for mother was treated the Same You'd probably never born/

V1 Yo ive got the beat and ive got the rhythm wont hurt a fly but rhymes i shall kill them time after time i speak through your system listen real close and your ear drums ill beat them fill it up with wine and ill fill you up with wisdom rolling up that dime and chill back and listen i got the cure while you've got the symptoms you've got the lag, while i hold persistence i reign as boss, while your the assistant and ill give you a call if i need any assistance and i feel this stress is so damn consistent smoking so much green and i still got sober feelings chilling back and blazing up with Mic Win & if your looking for us you know were dust in the wind love to my people, love to my brother love to my mother yea yea you know i love her/ V2 High times lifes high dignity is my kind of pie rhymes to a rhythm is a rhythm to a rhyme fly high soar wide tears cry beauty that we pass by altitude that leaves your throat dry/ Starving for the limelight let it out your eye sight leave it out your mind right/ pass down the message teach kids the method flush down the meth and drop your perspective learning hard lessons one plus two equals you and a ceiling surrounded by bars caged like a villain a criminal mind just make your decision slicing up your brain claiming its only a small incision dicing through your memories stealing all your visions cutting through your heart robbing all your ambition from beginning to start we shall complete life's mission so pick yourself up and stop all the ass kissin/

Let me get this right let me get this straight telling me to smile at work is irate breaking my back to put the food on my plate and somehow i need to keep a roof over my head main now let me see you dance like the hay days only wearing old vans just when you hope to soon, its snatched out your hands not many people really ever get a second chance thats why we shall enhance, our minds in an infinite expanse people clap your hands , lazy ones off your ass i know we all got plans, but in this circumstance chorus* (you gotta keep your word and leave it set in stone the shit we must condone, its trash keep it thrown and sit above the throne, actions we atone just leave it set in stone buried set in stone) V2 Drop bars like i drop stones heavier than Snorlax in a hyperbolic chamber zone wrath of the clone, slick as Simone get off your phone, take this beat to your heart or you can take it to your dome spitting over Chrome, shooting down drones feeling real stoned, Rone Blown Gone voice so smooth give the ladies love Jones Vibes so ill you could feel it through your bones meat-wad would but he aint got no bones like a brother out the bank got no loans nappy roots that aint got no comb poor folks that got no home not just lost steady on the roam Chorus* (i know we all got plans but in this circumstance you gotta keep your word and leave it set in stone the shit we must condone, its trash keep it thrown and sit above the throne, actions we atone just leave it set in stone buried set in stone)

As The world turns im steady getting my mind right nights are restless so im glaring at the sky light no need for fame when my heart declines the limelight times are tough but we the people are stronger yea we face heartbreak but the pain wont last much longer cuz peeps were here to conquer though its a process when this world continues to drive us bonkers so im living life like im left with one last breath anger are the emotions that try to remain suppressed and there's no need to attest cuz we can look in the eyes of stress unless we repossess our sense and forget whos the best, i do this shit to spread wisdom this aint no fucking contest sometimes my conscience tells me otherwise but i don't wanna be like those other guys in the game jumping through hoops and flames just for fame and every track in there album turns out the same just wanna spread peace love and life's pain and if i die today remember me for who i am not who they try to portray
