Good Times Good Vibes So high I could touch the sky So high I could touch the sky [Verse 1] I'm feelin good on the daily, my home girl is Israeli She said go and kill the game, I said you ain't gotta tell me And shouts to all the haters who think that I'm catching vapors Man the only thing I'm smoking is this beat but not the papers See I leave that to my stoners, Rollin them diplomas Enjoying every second cuz we only getting older See it's like a roller coaster, you take your ups and downs But life gets unexpected when it turns you upside down But, it's expected though You hold it all inside man just let it go And I ain't talkin bout smoking that medical It's time for you to shine you better let it show, I let them know that I'm a different person in the zone I intercept then I take her back home We done left the spot while you're whipping out your phone She gone Thank Me Later cuz we're So Far Gone [Hook] You could catch me zoning Catch me zoning like I'm high So high I could touch the sky So high i could touch the sky Said I'm vibing Said I'm vibing like I'm high So high I could touch the sky So high i could touch the sky [Verse 2] Everyday they be stressin gotta teach them a lesson See these rappers are my prey so I slay and count my blessings I don't need a Smith and Wesson just an instrumental What I say hits the brain, I'm piercing through your temple Good Times Good Vibes is what I'm about Keep the ladies you know, cuz I ain't with that summer drought Hit the block party and vibe with that summer crowd They smokin loud now tell me what your summer 'bout I'm just tryin to chill Only lookin for beef if it's coming off the grill I mean for real what you trying to prove You all about that drama you automatically lose See I'm ready to choose a lady from these people When you treat her like a queen, in her heart is where she keep you That's why I'm lethal always spittin it right A cup of thug passion will make everything right [Hook x2]

Don't need the green Don't need the green [Verse 1] Don't need the green, don't need to roll Don't need no papers, so here we go I close my eyes then let it take control The power of music baby let it shape your soul You hear the rhythm, just let it speak Having conversations from your heart to the beat And vice versa let your body move Let the music cut you deep and just feel the groove I'm feeling high, yes I'm levitatin The devil will never reach while I'm celebratin Just pack your bags and come and take this trip You know the Games Over once I do this Lil Flip Of my favorite coin you know it's double sided Either way you win it's obsolete to go and fight it Just let the high take you above clouds Enjoy the moment before you come on down. [Hook] I'ma get you high I'm feelin high, yes I'm levitatin The devil will never reach while I'm celebratin I'ma get you high I'm feelin high, yes I'm levitatin The devil will never reach while I'm celebratin I got you feelin high I'm feelin high, yes I'm levitatin The devil will never reach while I'm celebratin I got you feelin high I'm feelin high, yes I'm levitatin The devil will never reach while I'm celebratin [Verse 2] It feels good, to be alive, I could've died, that's no surprise I say a prayer every time I close my eyes Man I count my blessings when I think about that night See life is short don't let it pass you by One second your like 14 then you're 25 They say it flies by but not for me I clipped the wings So I'm killing time, that's the sign let me sing My favorite song, and Vibe to The Source I gotta Complex style showing no remorse Load the magazine up and let it run it's course Gotta keep your haters stable, treat 'em like a horse [Hook] [Verse 3] Tell me what's your high, tell me what's your high I can take you straight to cloud nine Just sick back and ride, close your eyes Do you trust me, cause I'm a take you there Don't rush me, I'm just tryin to make it fair To the heir of throne who'll be forced to king me I'll grab the sword when I'm bored then I start the swingin Decapitating navigating through the hate and aggravation They respect my admiration fighting through this fabrication Of this music game, boy it's not the same Nothing will ever change, just remember where you came This my life on paper, better yet on wax No need to dial a number when I'm out here sending facts

[Ess Vee] Listen uh It's funny how a dollar make you lose your friends Only four quarters guess Washington wins again These Wizards can make spend took the land from the Redskins Started in the Capitals now a Nationals sin The rich get richer while thieves get slicker Go figure see life is a motion picture Starring you directed by everybody Cameras on the corners at the lot in the lobby You dancing to that Bobby while they Shmurder all your pockets I move further while you stopped it, take over's part of my docket When I get to thinking I start thinking out loud I'm leaking all my thoughts like I saved it on a cloud Ain't no hackers here homie just me hacking the system Packin the hacksaw I'm hacking my competition that's the price you pay, currency comes in different tokens As long as there's money we are forever broken. [Hook] They say money make the world go 'round From dollars, to yen, to pesos to euros and even a pound (x 4) [MoRuf] The money keep it in rotation I'm caught in situation I swear to god this --- is hella close that I could taste it Sak pase to all my Haitians mama said just have patience I say they movin flagrant they play me all in they station Vibe As a youngin had to swallow pride Gettin money was no joke shorty down to ride I'm sick and tired being broke seen my mama cry Workin' at Johnny Rockets I had to get that 9 to 5 Flippin burgers That's like the brodie signed to Ass Money records At the same time still getting that cash under pressure It's kinda funny how it's getting worse Shorty hittin my beeper said she want that Gucci purse Now I'm asking myself this question what that coochie worth Might as well spend it can't take it with me all in that hearse That type of sh I probably put up in my will Money don't buy happiness but sh do surely pay the bills [Hook]

Perspective 03:35
[Verse 1] I live my moments in life always thinking bout what I did Never think bout the future homie I was just a kid Now I'm living in my past reminiscing how to live Most of the kids I grew up with are out there doing bids Something has to give I'm writing down my life For every project I put out I swear I see the light Cuz I feel like I'm illuminating can you tell me why? Now that all seeing eye is getting kinda dry I wouldn't trade it all for the fame, big brother Chemtrails dropping from the planes, big brother I know that you watching through your frames big brother I'm a cheat code all up in this game big brother Russian roulette but them shots are vodka I've been fighting in these streets and I'm shocked like Blanka These haters wish them shots went blocka blocka So I pull out the cape from inside my locker [Verse 2] You know those moments in life where you think bout love Think about the pain, now you rocking gloves Cuz your heart got broke and you body getting cold And your story getting old cuz you're missing her hugs This is where I plug in the names of all my past dames But if I do that I give them some type of fame And that's the last thing I need inside of my brain I'm catching flashbacks of playing the blame game Avoid memory lane I'm back on crack avenue Plenty mean muggin and dimes with bad attitudes It's Irvington where the world is mad at you I was raised here, gotta show it gratitude The same love from a mom to a toddler The same love from an actor to an Oscar The same love I show when I write, Decapitate the mic, feels nice to be honored

City Lights 03:21
I've never met a butterfly, just a bunch of moths We circle the light to knock each other off Methods of our survival must be an unwritten bible Authored by mostly psychos this cycle is suicidal Everybody's a judge I'm not America's idol I'm speaking another language couldn't pair us on the Eiffel Cuz I'll fly away, and live to see another day But these city lights always happen to stifle Red Amber and green I watch as those lights gleam Paralyzing the gullible mesmerizing the weak And as I speak, another soul has been sold Another dream has been murdered, it's all written in bold But you refuse to read, and I'm just as guilty I'm no different man I'm just as filthy Cause I'm lusting for the light, illuminating wrong A battle within a fight so I start to sing along [Hook] I said that I'm lost in them city lights I guess that I'm gone in them city lights I said that I'm lost in them city lights I guess that I'm gone in them city lights The lyrics that I have written in songs that you have listened Is just me scratching the surface to figure out what is missing I can do this with my eyes closed, but I rather not I rather see who's the next rapper that they're calling hot I gotta bone to pick with certain critics But if I pick that bone I'll leave them paralyzed so I rather kick it I'd rather be the one that they're forced to listen So they can't escape me listen this is all precision Red and blue lights flashing off my dash Club full of lost souls flashing off the cash Write songs on a daily so you know I gotta stash And that garbage that you idolize nothing but new trash But who am I to judge, just a person searching for the light Searching through the day searching through the night This is life, bits and pieces in a song Staring at the stars in my mind I sing along [Hook] x2

[185 - Hook] [Yoqueyri] Down and down we go Down and down we go But I refuse, no [Diamond] Feels like I'm dreamin I'm walkin but sleepin They're calling my name But I'm not hearin [Ess Vee - Verse 1] I close my eyes and fall victim between two different rhythms The rhythm of reality ripples while I'm laying fickle I grab the sickle and plant my dreams and just let it trickle Down to the middle of this riddle after feeling crippled By the thought of waking up yeah I'm shaken up I tried to make that call while I'm dreaming but see it's breakin up Cuz I rather stay in a place where I'm feeling great And in that state paralysis is my only escape I'm breathing heavy, I break the levy Now my thoughts are rushin in My punctured skin is bruised from being pinched you ready? I wasn't I'm frontin I'm Cobb I couldn't tell the difference If I knew my way through reality I would seal the entrance [185 - Hook] [Ess Vee - Verse 2] Is this lucid the fluid from my forehead is freezing I'm feeling stupid cuz I'm sleepin and I haven't a reason I'm bleeding my thoughts on records feeling like a narcoleptic Insomnia on to ya callin ya, you gotta accept it I refuse to respect it the fact that ppl are chasing This ain't no race and I'm just stating you can go live it no waiting See reality's hating my morality's fadin You can blame it on satan rather blame it on patience It's a constant battle when they babble about making it They better learn to grapple cuz these shackles yeah I'm breakin it And yeah I'm takin it soon as I take it down I'm closing my eyes I'm vibin out to that sound [185 - Hook] [185 - Bridge] [Diamond] This is me And I'm not changing for nobody We will see The reason that they can't stop me {Yoqueyri] Oh dreamer oh dreamer of me They'll see where I wanna be I close my eyes and I speak This won't be the last of me

[Verse 1] You think its easy to go and pick up a pen Jotting down all your memories nothing written's pretend Go inside the depths of my brain reaching for what's within Cuz when I heard this beat I had no idea how to begin As I'm committing the sinning of cheating on the bass drum With the snare, strings, and lil bit of that bass hum As I'm cookin up you better go grab a plate son From the late 80s where you think I get my taste from A gluten with the beats when I hear it from the streets Where most of the murders happen while you sleep in your sheets Let me take a breather while I'm sipping on some ether On this beat I'm still a cheater would somebody call the preacher Could they pray for me while I'm preying on my prey Cuz, any day I can slip and catch a fade Cuz every time that I formulate a rhyme I just reach inside my mind, you vibe and I feel the love [Hook] x2 Just vibe with me for a second Take a moment to chill and embrace life My words are my greatest weapon See everything is real when I sit and write [Verse 2] Cyphers in Clef's house Xclusive on guitar Freestyling with my brodies and we feeling like some stars Fugee plaques hanging while I'm half rapping and sanging His wife brought home some chicken man that KFC was bangin Dee told me to never hold it back He told me forget the haters they'll be hanging on my sack He said keep your style wild never ever sell out He my brother forever love him for that It's a fact that I'll never fall You better step your bars up and stop dropping calls Cuz the games on the line Got my past on hold I'm letting go and I'm nodding off Let the beat take you to another place to another level I rap to be great others rap for them bezels I'm glad I'm a rebel took me a while to find this To stay true to my craft and keep it timeless [Hook] x2

I'm bleeding x2 [Ess Vee - Verse 1] I tell'em Look for me look for me please just hear me out Ain't beggin for a record deal to pull me from my drought I just need for you to listen when I put it out Cuz my heart and soul is screaming and I'm bleeding out Speaking out for every REAL artist out there Always getting overlooked but we out here I understand its the music business But it seems like this business of music don't have the music in it And I get it certain rappers only sell with gimmicks But who's controlling the threshold there has to be a limit It's seems like every time I'm cutting on the radio Certain songs play they gotta be giving fellatio Cuz the ratio to make it is 1 to a bill If I ain't making money tell me what's one to a bill Overdraft fees, debt past your knees I call it how I see it homie stress comes in threes This a letter from me I can feel your pain I leave the water running every time I feel drained Let it wash away my thoughts as I stare through the frame My reflection is reflecting how I feel from day to day This is a song to some but to others a message For me to still be alive is another blessing I'm here to do my thing and I'm no longer guessing There's a lane in this game that I gotta step in [A-Natural - Hook] Said I'm bleeding You cut me out when I only wanted to love you And show you a better way Said I'm bleeding out But I still love you even if I cannot trust you Enough to come save the day Can you see it Cuz I'm bleeding songs I'm bleeding history Cuz I'm bleeding out And I'm bleeding life, I'm losing legacy But you don't hear me though [Ess Vee - Verse 2] I gotta couple questions that I need to ask Like when we think about the future why we keep the past Why we never support what's real, we always buying trash Why is it when we fall in love we never make it last How come you never fulfill your goals and follow your dreams Why is it that you're full of fear at least that's what it seems At least that's what I see on a daily average Always on your phones don't you see the daily damage Why is it every time we laugh when we send a text Sending lols we tell ourselves but never raise breathe Never raise a breathe never crack a smile Why is it so hard to pick up the phone and just dial I don't know am I the only who seeks the truth If I don't do it you tell me who's gonna speak to you It wasn't written this was spoken from the start I'll never let this game rip me apart, that's from my heart [A-Natural - Hook] [A-Natural] No You don't hear me though I'm bleeding

BlackOut 04:00
[Intro Fade In] Watch the world fade to black as my eyelids are closing I'm laying on my back [Verse 1] Uh There comes a time and a place for success The time is now the place is more than likely in my chest Excuse my arrogance confident to say that I'm the best It's open ended hope you ready to go take the test It's called life, you could choose to back out That's why I write and I'm calling this blackout I fade away to the sounds of 808s As I feel the room shake I awake to a mad house So I rather close my eyes, sit there vibe Now you understand why I take my time with every rhyme I color in the pictures while y'all getting outta line I'm tired of seeing flickers pull me over to the side But I don't hit pause, I let it all play out Right before it pops don't forget to take your tape out I treat life like my Michael Jackson Thriller album I play it all again cuz I know the outcome [Hook] Watch the world fade to black as my eyelids are closing I'm laying on my back But it feels like I'm floating Watch the world fade to black as my eyelids are closing I'm laying on my back But it feels like I'm [Verse 2] Friends become foes your force to stand on your toes Your family will abandon thee something that you should know Your born alone die alone that's how the story goes That's why I stay on the microphone rockin until I'm old I'm just, saying what I feel at this moment Adjust, to the music when it's real and it's potent A must, is when I write surpassing the fabrication Go hard with determination till the end of regulation Cuz this game takes lives, when I think about it Something's funky and I try to put my stink around it Like broken vertebrae it's hard for you stand up Learn to take pain cuz it's time for you to man up What lies behind this door is a different type of people Full of jealousy and envy so I'm staring through the peephole Handshakes and daps mean a lot more than a gesture Hold the ones you love and make sure they feel the pressure [Hook x2]
