The Ballad 04:08
The only way for you to make it Is to give everything Everything you are, everything you got And if you hold back, even a little You'll fall short Tunnel vision, this fucking tunnel vision Man I'm lucky that this tickets only good for one admission I was told to run a muk until we won the mission Always gunning for the one position At 24 a nigga fell victim to a fuck addiction I got a gift so I'll admit it was a tough decision I relapse now and then, yea with enough assistance But I always find a reason why it wasn't different You keep debatin I'm busy chasing the stuff of fiction They think they know what I'm cooking because they bugged the kitchen All these niggaz is lying because they love division All these bitches is lying because they love division Look at Star looking like he up to something Watch em gather round the pie Such a real nigga had to teach me how to lie Talk about a nigga getting hit with bad advice I want it all The fame and the fortune I saw When I dreamed of arenas and stadiums tours And once I get it I'll be gunning for more Hey, tell em I want it all The fame and the fortune I saw When I dreamed of arenas and stadiums tours And once I get it I'll be gunning for more Hey, tell em I... What happened I can't see straight Heard a voice say welcome to your dream state But it don't seem fake Said what you mean, Last time we saw you, you were seventeen Set to be all we conceived What happened to that mean shit The best y'all seen spit Scholar never been on the dean's list No rest, no reprieve, never run outta steam Blitz every play because your cov-er-age clean Said I been a lil busy tryna learn the craft and business Matter fact when I wake up, my nigga it's right back to business My job is the reception, so I know my facts-n-figures What I do with a connection, only wish I had a witness They said we just wanna know where all the passion at I mean we understand don't really be no cash in that You vocation there but, this yo natural habitat You think you not goin wreak some havoc my nigga, but we ain't having that at all The fame and the fortune you make What you see in your head, what you feel isn't fake There's a legacy you're made to create So keep your eyes on the ball And don't worry if they can relate There's an ever present seat up at the top You can have if you're willing to take Hey, tell em I want it all Can't let em down I must eviscerate Too much concern with trying to assimilate Or the amount of streams that we could generate No more talking now it's time for me to demonstrate No trade, no degree This is it for me I just can't let it get to me Maybe I been working for the wrong shit Maybe I'm the one it's something wrong with The Ballad When did I start falling And where is the ground I don't like this dream no more somebody please let me out Tell me I should give it up somebody please tell me how With no one around to hear me shout But I'm falling and I'm falling wit speed I see something within reach it's small but what could it be It's everything that I believe I want and need Falling faster, tryna grab it I forgot that I was sleep

I lost my mind I lost my mind A long long time ago Now I'm inclined to walk beside this long and winding road Behind a door that's locked is where it feels the most like home When I'm alone I would have never learned to fly If I had let it pull me in Like yea we made it out alive But we could never fully win They say that misery's designed Yea to forever want a friend We making history or die And hoping that we born again Listen closely to the story of a boy abandoned Dealing with the kinda shit that should destroy a man So in the midst of his depression, he deployed a gambit A way to try to trick his brain to just ignore the damage What's eating gilbert grape or what's destroying hamlet I don't belong to anyone at least that's how I feel With no malice in my heart at least that's how I deal I been training everyday to live without a meal Ohh, I conduct a symphony of what amended me What made me turn into the man that I was meant to be I was deserted by people that once defended me Now I know they got aspirations of ends for me I no longer see you for what you pretend to be So it's fuck you and I mean that shit offensively One more hey stranger you don't remember me And I'ma think coincidence is just a trend for me I would have never learned to fly If I had let it pull me in Like yea we made it out alive But we could never fully win They say that misery's designed Yea to forever want a friend We making history or die And hoping that we born again I been having conversations with the inner me And that nigga low-key sounding kind of villainy I mean that nigga kind of crazy but his logic sound Everyday I'm less motivated to calm him down Just stay over there if you goin bring the drama round Smooth talking like you niggaz is obama now Your girl must got you thinking you a king and shit But remember that depends upon the ring you in Big fish in a little bowl Wish wish then begin to grow Big green wit a little soul Big dreams wit a middle goal Let's take the passion and the pride And we'll put that shit aside I still read and write, produce and market, distro and design To think I'm in the wrong you either crazy, stupid blind Or it's something you don't know cuz you don't see behind the lines So if I ain't bout to make it you could take me now Just give me time to spank a couple babies out Conformity or coffins be our only options So fuck it just as long as you and homie bopping, right Knowing I could lose my life on any lonely stop at night And I grew up in Trenton, I wake up and wanna fight She wanna talk about it like that topic light Never know because you're white Close my door and lock it tight I would have never learned to fly If I had let it pull me in Like yea we made it out alive But we could never fully win They say that misery's designed Yea to forever want a friend We making history or die And hoping that we born again I lost my mind, I lost my mind A long, long time ago Now I'm inclined to walk beside this long and winding road Behind a door that's locked is where it feels the most like home When I'm alone

Star Power 02:31
Don't touch me I'm too hot and they begging me to drop and roll But they'll never rock a crowd And they'll never stop a show Good sex. Good drugs. What I get for what I expose That's what's in the game we play You either got it or you don't, hey Can I be candid Man god dammit I don't mean to brag and shit, but All this shit I'm dropping must be aggravating my aggregate Trailblazer, hellrazor And you might see me racing by Might be on your screen, might be saving lives Mean I'm such an Amazing guy They tell me this luck Like I wasn't in the crib while they was at the club Oh you know the way but you don't have it huh? Man ya story ain't adding up Foot won't let that gas on up Tell me that shit hazardous Now all my sons got jackets cut Wishing they was bad as us God damn Don't touch me I'm too hot and they begging me to drop and roll But they'll never rock a crowd And they'll never stop a show Good sex, good drugs what I get for what I expose That's what's in the game we play You either got it or you don't, hey Niggaz watching me like, "I don't know what to do next. I was tryna see" Want fame but love my privacy And I'm just being honest But what's the point of doing this shit for years if I ain't the hottest I mean basically I'm jobless If I can't generate deposits So now I plan it out and I execute Fuck hanging out, I'd rather bless the booth Know the best to me won't be the best to you It's a mess to the less astute Want a showdown then I'm dressed to shoot The sundance kid baby there I go Words I said peeled off his roof Quickdraw wit the lead I wrote God damn Don't touch me I'm too hot and they begging me to drop and roll But they'll never rock a crowd And they'll never stop a show Good sex, good drugs what I get for what I expose That's what's in the game we play You either got it or you don't Let the beat play

This gotta be the realest shit I ever said Gotta make sure my roots are better fed Ever since I put my name atop a letterhead Been seeing situations like I read ahead Half of me can sit and marvel at the majesty The other half only fathoming the tragedy Grabbing focus like I need it to survive But even a heartbeat doesn't mean you're alive Got a proposition to give up the greed or the pride I told em give me a minute, took my leave in disguise Drugs got they brains gone, running round wit chains on It's the same song, we ended up in East Side High But these niggaz couldn't pass one test So I know what it's like to look around and be the last one left Standing up on crazy joe So they don't wanna play me on the radio But I mean, look how hard it made me go? Welcome to my soul You get the grand tour What's inside of me and what I stand for No grandeur I just demand more Because with everything I am, I know I am more Welcome to my soul You get the grand tour What's inside of me and what I stand for No grandeur I just demand more Because with everything I am, I know I am more I went looking for myself and found a stranger in my place I don't know who sent him but they gave him my face I see him try to mimic all the things that I say I see him running after all the things that I chase Standing in perpetual motion, I know perplexing I took this shit too far for your perception to go But stay with me baby I need you like a sexual potion My addiction to marijuana only second to notes They said "we drowning in the river that you sold us down You made us dream, you gotta stay around to show us how" They always tell me hold it down I always say it ain't enough to go around So, future first born, hope your listening There is no better trait than initiative Life is beautiful so try to find a shit to give But never take ya eyes off what the mission is Welcome to my soul You get the grand tour What's inside of me and what I stand for No grandeur I just demand more Because with everything I am, I know I am more Welcome to my soul You get the grand tour What's inside of me and what I stand for No grandeur I just demand more Because with everything I am, I know I am more Welcome to my soul You get the grand tour What's inside of me and what I stand for No grandeur I just demand more Because with everything I am, I know I am more Welcome to my soul You get the grand tour What's inside of me and what I stand for No grandeur I just demand more Because with everything I am, I know I am more

East side Star Just getting my feet wet like a seaside talk She getting her cheeks wet like a seaside bar And I'ma dig her out soon as the G ride park I'm here to tantalize every woman and man alive Believe that you can beat me, it's important to fantasize All the beautiful music I vandalize Adult I damage it. I'm multi talented A one man dream team I run stand breath mean You're welcome in the jungle, but you just can't leave I know you hating me because I'm what you just can't be I mean, how do you beat what you can't touch can't see You better tuck it It's too dang-erous a subject The shit that in public we don't discuss it Give em gold bars and I drop nuggets Just hoping that they fit in your budget But I keep it to myself horde wealth and the bitches they love it And they itching to touch it Bro said "somethin got you goin at a hunnid" And nigga I don't like it, I love it It's time to get rugged

American God 03:21
Aww yeah Do you know what real is? If you do, then you could feel this Everybody dying to be immortalized Instead of living they mortal lives True fame's half life is only 4 to 5 Ignore the lies until the belief is fortified If only I could store the vibe In your mind and try to open up a door inside We got a wave of an enormous size So we just let it ride in wit the morning tide You know they wanna deviate me Cuz the game is such a bitch and she just don't appreciate me Working fire, think I failed cuz I ain't pop immediately Just bouncing off ideas I make em 'off the heezy' hate me And 1 cuz I always drop it at the line Ain't gassing, but I'm blowing like a pocket in a mine We struck gold and if you think these fucks cold Know in the shadow of the moon I be conjuring up snow I'm an American God Give me your attention I need it to live cuz I need it to live Glad you could join us to witness my ascension I'll admit I'm probably not one that you would mention But I been in the gym and I been benching Now I could heal the blind, turning water to wine Man I guess it's just divine intervention I'm an American God Give me your attention I need it to live cuz I need it to live Glad you could join us to witness my ascension I'll admit I'm probably not one that you would mention But I been in the gym and I been benching Now I could heal the blind, turning water to wine Man I guess it's just divine intervention Skinny nigga Smoking like a chimney I dismantle every weapon formed against me They like you slackin just a bit Nah I just been quiet while I'm racking up the hits Personification of the cracking of the whip Talking like it's something at the bottom of the stairs cuz I'm backing up the shits The lackies said that I was lacking subject matter Like Alice ever understood the madness of the hatter My rollie, Axel Foley had me acting fuckin Jagger Bizarrely, they say they sorry as they plunge the fuckin dagger Smiling in my face as I groan away A pinching in my shoulder blade that just won't seem to go away No love for those that hold grudge Without declaring war. For those we don't budge Kindle the flame, keep it simple and plain Feel like I could drown a village with a thimble of rain Better hope that I be gentle. Let it go, if I offend you Cuz I got some shit assembled if you mention my name I'm an American God Give me your attention I need it to live cuz I need it to live Glad you could join us to witness my ascension I'll admit I'm probably not one that you would mention But I been in the gym and I been benching Now I could heal the blind, turning water to wine Man I guess it's just divine intervention I'm an American God Give me your attention I need it to live cuz I need it to live Glad you could join us to witness my ascension I'll admit I'm probably not one that you would mention But I been in the gym and I been benching Now I could heal the blind, turning water to wine Man I guess it's just divine intervention

The Glow 03:16
Ooh! *I got that glow* They asked me how my outro sound like niggaz intro Cuz I'm that hot *I got that glow* You can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, no time to talk Music loud and the weed is too That's the only thing that can keep me cool Living gone in the swimming pool .... That's right, That's right You need some fans oh yea, how foolish of me We're burning up, but I'm as cool as can be They think that all I ever shoot is the breeze Said I just had to wait for Judas to leave Oh yeah yeah I got that glow I got that glow I got that glow I got that glow I got the shine to be a star That fire in my heart I got that glow I got that glow Uh oh I'm radioactive My symptoms starting to show Calm down just try to relax Cuz truthfully at any second I'm about to explode I know I got that glow I got that glow I got that glow I got that glow I got the shine to be a star That fire in my heart I got that glow I got that glow And he bossy ay? Tell my niggaz time to pass the courvossier Tell them pups they could back up off me ay Yea you saucy but bitch I'm the Saucier I'm a broken piece hoping nobody notice me Least socially And it's mostly Cuz I'm feeling myself, inappropriately On top of that I think I just overshot the gap And I ain't even have to cock a strap Not like we allowed toys but still we make loud noise Aiming for the white like we cocaine cowboys Show you what that action bout Show you niggaz how to outlast the drought I'm so black black black and proud Dare a nigga tell me stop acting out Hear the breakdown *Mind yo fuckin business* Oh yeah! *Mind yo fuckin business* *Mind yo fuckin business* Let me just tell you when this applies *Mind yo fuckin business* If I did some shit you don't know why *Mind yo fuckin business* Didn't ask for your advice *Mind yo fuckin business* If you mad you got a boring life *Mind yo fuckin business* You wonder where I'm at tonight *Mind yo fuckin business* If I'm doin something you don't like *Mind yo fuckin business* Look like I'm about to fight *Mind yo fuckin business* If you see me with a whore all night Lil whisky and the hormones right Then in a few weeks on a porno site *Mind yo fuckin business* If I'm doin something you don't like *Mind yo fuckin business* Look like I'm about to fight *Mind yo fuckin business* If you see me with a whore all night Lil whisky and the hormones right Then in a few weeks on a porno site *Mind yo fuckin business*
