Cant quit now Im too close
Give me one more one last chance Im gone need two of those
Am I too sure
Am too good
I gotta prove more x2
This where you’re way too far and the ends unclear
And the haters talk down cause they cant get near
But you don’t hold on cause that aint your fear
And you know shit hard but still scared
Too close
Lets do two toast double shots of Teremana as friendships turn new boats
Im talking big yachts on a new coast
Hold the play book like a true coach
When its game time and the suit goes
And a win aint the only thing you shooting for
I gotta the SS on my like the S on clark
Some look at me and see a super man
The younger ones that sneak the rugers in
That never had a dad but still grow into a man
Im Too close
As soon as I dropped my gun you took a shot at me
Already fighting with police and poverty
Am I the one thats going to change it all
Probably
Kids at war but we still had fun
Had transformers before we all had guns
I was optimums prime
All of this time
Make brows raise when the style change
Hand some wild days now a humbling King
Seeing death happen is really humbling
If it aint one thang than its another thing
Young winner plus a born sinner
They say he been had heart thats the dog in him
Now hows wanna talk they was dog him
Now he finna have the whole world applauding him thats me
Got the ss on me like the s on clark some look at me and see a super man
I know when I make it then the youth will win
All the little homies I see the future in
Thats lethal

Francis driving while Im riding
We be sliding through the 9
Say whats up to my aunty and Rashiek if he outside
Forever fully capable of bouncing back if we lose
Celebrate with champagne and east African food
Polo armor and I just pulled the tag off
Shopping for a snub nose
She breaking out the friends zone I had to back off
Its hard to really love hoes
They say we always turn the scene into a fashion show
Horse on my T shirt so I never wear. Jacket closed
Nike Sbs I dont care if they aint matching So?
Retros on another day forces prolly after tho
Air maxes rotating foams when the action low
Which ever box I can reach the easiest is out the door
Gotta visit Carrie more to keep my skin right
She playing SZA whole album with the Dim lights
Stomping on rapping wearing steal toe times
When In writing its like dreams really spilling outta pens
Do with a purpose but its still about the bens
Chevy not a bens
SS not pretend
Turn a list of goals into cash money
Original to digital 100 on the dash and running
Rap in all the places they be stashing money
Suckas pray on smash records just to smash on honeys
Tell Allen I need my chess fade
Them kinda battles bring out the best days
Me and John still study check mates
Make the best move out of every move
Respect pays

Calm Down Kisha
02:33
|
|||
Kishea got some questions but cant come across no answers
Running out of sources running out of chances
Tryna figure out if the world lover her
Stuck thinking niggas aint shit she want a girl lover
Only fans for a bag plan if that dont last then
She gone dance shake some ass yea for some bands yea
Turned to the club donating plasma and blood
Thinking that shit a lick wish I could tell her that it was
Calm down Kisha
Somebody need to out their arm round kisha
I promise if the world aint broke you yet
Keep going cause a blessing could he next
Calm Down Kisha
I know you feel like no one needs you
You dont need no ones help
You can love yourself
You can get your body done
Maybe then insecurities with drop to none
Find a man that can come into your world and fit
Tryna to lose him going missing on a girls trip
Yesterday was hell now you got letters in the mail
Another shot at school do it for yourself
Only time you really lose is when you quit
And Im proud of you cause thats something you never did

Storms Over Oceans
02:55
|
|||
Rainy days taught me how to grow
Its my time let me tell you how I know
Storms over Ocean
You can drown for some clout or float
Or be a big wave on your own
Storms over oceans
Sometimes a young black pharrow gotta turn to Jack Sparrow
Be a pirate in the streets sharp swords and sharp arrows
Battleships relationships and friendships will sink
Able to hold my spot because I’m anchored by my dreams
And it’s hard to
They don’t double team when they guard you
You can’t relate to threats I place ok
My word play put me in first place I’m still sprinting
Stuck in your feelings I been beat you you still tripping
Parades gets rained on
Smiles don’t last longs
Support starts to run out
The depression come out
Next day shots fired
Another homie gone now
Tears make a u turn
And really start to fall down
Just another chance to rebuild another name to live for
It’s sharks in these waves that niggas tryna swim for
I rap on water my shine make the tide rise
Storms tryna hide me nice try
South side Samurai camouflage is pointless
I stand out anywhere any style i don’t care
I from over there where if you over stare its over
Not playing real Mobile Suite gundams will approach you
Strap in the sofa
Sleeping with a toaster
Kept it in my pocket I aint always have a holster
Wins in the distance Im tryna see em close up
Speeding in an old chevy listening to bone thugs
Hold up
Things aint really going how they pose to
Rain clouds covering the sun its getting colder
Hard to keep balance on a wave when its surfs up
Fronting through a storm when its bad and we know cuhz

Thug It Out
02:58
|
|||
Heavy is the world it will spin until you dizzy
I try and keep some real ones with me
Flyin through the sky real high til life knocks you down
Good people dont belong on the ground
Get up and thug it out
Broken armor cant protect everything
Got pain in places I would never think
Dirty crowns shine like they clean
Couldn’t blame anybody I was broken by dreams
Still the same ones fix me
Dissed by Queens still the same ones dissed me
Ran with a team still the same ones tripped me
This song for the strong ones that wanna be weak
Never understood it better till I wanted it for me
Give me advice Im tired of talking to myself
When someone gone help the one thats always giving help
Who got my back when I need back up
When its
Supported like Im jacked up
Slaving all my time away
Almost brainwashed me work eating mind away
This stress is not mine today
Today I got time cuh
Not the same one that I was the last time cuhz
They beed to get their thymes up
Lame shit fucking up your vibe
Wipe it off
When they say they got your back but they lied
Let me talk
When shit you cant control controls the way your day goes
You gotta let god and let go
Its things more important than having silver and golf
Without even cheating its time we even the score
When it don’t go the right way that don’t make it the wrong way
Get up and thug it out g you know what the song say
That support that you can only hear
You cant see it
And it really pissed you off but you know moral needs it
I still swing the strap I know that crowds needs
And still give

Save It All
03:09
|
|||
Get money just to save it all
Bang The Hood Just to save it all
Then Travel the world and try to save it all
Save it all Save it All
Dreams so big I feel lazy with 1 hundred hustles
Most these niggas aint even finish school
No soft spots for sophomores no more
Instead of breaking chains you broke rules
This a new era true gangstas that do better
Love more old Chevys and blue leather
My money growing they still talking on money phone
Cant buy stripes or smarts here with a money lonely
What happens when the money gone
You might see dark here but we always got art here
We got heart here
Giving back to the bottom thats what happens when you start there
They spend it soon as they get it
New fitted crowns matter but whose is it
Look heres what you do with it
Go travel like two pivots
Give back and tell em that god did it
Gotta stay involved
Hood reppin but still evolve
Inspiring but still fine with stealing off
Been a boss loss after another loss
Most start dreaming and quit because it cost
Ima save em all

Satchel Paige
03:46

Pitch 16s like Satchel Page
In a league of our own and thats ok
Slide on the hood like a stolen base
And every where I go they know my face
Only Independent hitting harder the major leagues
Gibson up to bat is like me in the stu and facing beats
Aint no other
KC on my fitted I ain’t talking Bout the monarch’s
Use to day dream about selling out the monarch
Only blind ppl can’t find culture in Arizona
A million worth of game I picked it up off the corner
This for us
We ain’t even in no rush
Watch it turn gold off touch
Shortie Dark Skin melanin no blush
Both legs thick and her hips like wha?
White pin stripes on the whip like what?
Like a J Rob Jersey untouched
Most at the top ain’t never seen no mud
And still try to blend in but homie we know us
You ain’t us
No strikes in the stu it’s gone be a long inning
All I do is win that’s that Smokey Joe in me
Here’s another lesson an how haters don’t offended me
Faked wanting to take me out but they routing for me now
Wake up lace my cleats up wear my city like a jersey
Turning every sesh into a home run derby
Amazing like willie mayz when I be blazing over beat
All these rooms that they dont want us in we finally got a seat
Who I be
TOURÉ
King with a 9 for the g
Creating legacy no time for a beef
But if somebody wants to stain we can fade real brief
Hilton Smith with the curve
If they ain’t seen it bet they heard
Ima problem with these words
Cuh I gotta it out the dirt

Fears Blocking Blessings
02:42
|

Paranoia
I call my boys up
Somebody gotta deal for me
We need a lawyer
Plays on the floor still
We need all the chlorophyl
Still thinking about Kyree and trying to ignore the feel
Never taught us how to heal we just let the storms pass
But We be needing rain bad
Wash off my chevy and my sins where the stains at
We still eat at Benihana why change
Looks on they faces when I make it Ima frame that
Gotta put it out there i been putting work in
Thats one thing for certain
Tryna block my light for real these niggas curtains
If you holding roses till they close em what they worth then?
In on stage now
Feel like Ive wanted this forever and ain’t been this close never
Made in Arizona and aint no one close better
Flyer than who ever hold a mic no feather
2-11-1991 to forever
Cant be weak with these Queen come on think about it
I enter with confidence Im tryna get a ring up out it
Married for like 20 years its kinda got a ring about it
I built this castle best believe that its a king around it Me
17 in I rocs on a super sport
If you aint talking money keep your conversation super short
I breathe a little better now remember we was super poor
From selling cds at school now Ima super store

Pour some liquor out
Niggas different now
Times and past and weather changed
They couldn’t adapt man they bitches now
Where the bitches now really I don’t want em but they still do around
Grew up if niggas want beef ill prolly flick em now
Its nothing to a King thats been fading for infinity
These actors prolly never even swung on en enemy
Toure LaVon Lethal every name is my identity
Identify the winning prize and watch me give it everything
Humbled by the crumbled of my Jordan’s out of 05
25 racks on sneakers we had cold night
Bought my dream car with rap money
All you niggas jokes but aint none of you that funny
Everybody broke get the truth when you ask
Competing for who ever faking better is blasphemy
357 and a 45 barretta in my dresser
Let em know that Im always Applying Pressure
Some times it sucks knowing that you gone he ok anyway
That no weapon formed against you shall prosper on any day
But then feelings sneak through your armor you start feeling defeat
Depression gets to your mind you get to thinking you weak
Then somebody starts screaming for across the street
You grab your cape and utility belt to hit the scene
No time for you to heal yourself be
On time for everyone else
You tryna breathe
Why Im saving everyone else who helping me tho
Why im always chasing these dreams they get to sleep tho
Life is a bitch tryna turn me bad
I never let her
Let em know that In always applying pressure

I twist my fingers with love
Can Recognize a soldier and respect a true believer its bigger than us
Still feel pain for my brothers in other gangs rest in peace to diggs Jack pot what up an
Thats my niggas he like fam tho
Make red and blue match like a flannel
Got stripes as a young still wear em like a man tho
Now ..
born in to it but it was still a choice
Had a lot of shit missing it really filled a void
Miss that little time I spent really being a boy
Seen death three times replaying in my dreams
Last one in 19 he was banging 19 like me
He was Only out for 9 months Its still where I find love
I know you only see the image they give
I wanna say its not the truth but it is
A lot more goes on in the neighborhood
Its many of us really working toward a greater good
Some get lost in it
Start to represent a false image
Now that aint never really worth what it cost is it
Is you parking or just driving by the park to say you there
This is really where we from and thats why we really care
Where you from tho
Understand when you walking out your front door
You could be done for
You only get one
So what you doing where you from
Is you building or your breaking
Is you giving or you taking
Affiliated or banging
Really bout it or faking
They gone love it or they gone hate it
Together we can save it
Its really what you make it
What you doing where you from
Tryna get lil homies to there diplomas
Scholarships and degrees
But they see scamming like scholarships in the streets
Ogs still preach get it by any means
Gollee
its hard to teach two things at once
Attention spands dont last the required months
Speak education but we cant ignore war
That started back then they dont even know what its for
I can never hate you for a color that you wore
Side that you bang
With certain expections
Codes by the gang
Specific hats that can Identify yo gang
Flags badges we seem as the same
Why you think we came
Poor and not ever shamed
Cops and robbers the game
It really got us trained
