Rock Bottom

Hoe I came from nothing had nothing we was racking for shoes
Polo shirts & Levis jeans we was racking them too
Almost died in my dream car I swear it’s the truth
Francis was with me and he still is we living proof
I hate most of these rappers I bet I beat em and leave
The Brahma Bull in the ring you know lethal a beast
Not even buzzin in your street boy the desert is me
I’m locked in royally rooted connected and linked
Probably in my biggest bag now
Walking talking and never back down
Hit a rock bottom and leave a cracked ground ground
In 91 I was born 19
Icon in the city now really hold the city down
Catch him mid sentence put a right on his chin
Every fade that we catch man I’m probably gone win
Squeezing on a heat that will spark and make a nigga melt
strap on my waste like the intercontinental belt
If Locker Lies leave your lips then it’s over wit
That elbow on your chest like a bullet through your vest
Better then than the best my confidence over flowing still
If I don’t make it out the valley they’ll believe no nobody will

They want me to act like nothing hurts
But that’s impossible this pain they brought on me was never optional
These scars I didn’t have at first
Guess I’ve been through a little living life with a curse
Still be writing in cursive honest poems on purpose
If the shoe fits you bitch I’ll be sliding in person
Broken teachers taught me the game
Lost gangsta in the hood like Kane
Reece my fake brother like Kane
We still go where we came
Can’t for get where we came
We just want to make change
To & strong to be treated with care
They say be quiet nigga life ain’t fair
I seen that body fall right there
We was alright right there
Next day we living like we alright here
When the struggle as clear as diamonds you don’t know what you worth
Get through what you going through first
The strongest man in the world
We living for what’s breaking us down
Hoping we make history like niggas won’t remember me now
From surfing to sinking into a couch
Sacrifices I made for dollars I need to make
Life is heavy and overwhelming at times
Depression on top of dreaming on top of tryna survive
Dead weight don’t die you kinda gotta decide
Who and what gun you gone carry on for your life
The strongest man in the world
Here I’ll take this damage for you
Know your never in a place where god can ignore you
I learned to be my own source of all I needed
Gotta shine and be my own moon when i can’t see it
The strength needed to be the bigger person
Didn’t come from push ups I got it from hurting i got it from learning
that mental & emotional gym
No support left no motion in him
I expect the most from my friends
If you gone cry for me then you better slide for me
Look me in my homies I
Would never know power this crazy
If black women didn’t raise me
The strongest man in the world

Your World
03:56
|

Treat you like a trophy skin like Naomi
Loving every piece of you put everything on me
Everyday you represent the second month
Every week you prove that you’re tough enough
Fighting on the daily for respect that should be handed to you
You don’t want it if it’s too easy
Tryna love you you just gotta teach me
Inspiring and intimidating
Not surprising you ain’t into dating
Focused on your future and the ways it’s shaping
Working for a title you tired of waiting
You gotta be Bianca strong
Weight from the world that you carry on
Littles Queens love you cause your braid long
Just can’t figure out what’s missing yet
Want ever piece of love besides that kiss of death
When the night falls and you moonsault
Victory is sweat .. who woulda thought
Who would have thought you’ll over come it All
Relinquished titles still climbing after every fall
You the EST fuck how they feel about it
They call it fake but I see everything that’s real about it
I love seeing real ones team up all day
Belair and Boss like Ricky and Wale
A black Queen that’s here for me and she down to ride
Walk me down that ramp and watch me ring side
That Jimmy and Naomi
That Montez and B love
One bell ring and it can be us
up against who ever hating ready for the fade when it’s time
Staring at the future like the wrestle mania sign
As we grow inside The same field
Under shade from these trees that have been here
Continue over coming everything in your way
And if you ever need support .. call up Touré
I’ve seen you fight harder than most
Guarded up close and dangerous you just need to shine
It sucks you have to build of things that are meant to break you because hateful shit shouldn’t happen at all ...
But we can’t control that ...
but you ... you control that BGM
THAT Black girl Magic Queen keep breathing in
Stress is heavy af but you need to win so let it go
Let it go ... let it glow

Celebrating

Burner in my lap at the dinner table
If ever have to escape I know I’m about
Scared to fully trust the ones I eat with
I’m the only one I trust with all my secrets
Scissor kicks to the head of the game
Miss with your pedigree this generation insane
Ain’t been sleeping in a Durag still I got my wave
Hair grew and my stats the same
Get to thinking you a champ and you can never let up
Then some one steal your move and make it look better
You niggas could never
But I still shine
It’s the 5x
Thought theyld get me in the end but this a different movie
Miss their shot and tried to spin a roonie
Take aim and put them in or threw me
I guess I always had a short dread booker T black king vibe to me
They don’t count the work I put in like it never happen
Was never faking I been lifting like I’m EZ Jackson
It’s all fun and games till they don’t see me laughing
accolades for miles I be over lapping
I read my lyrics like he really snapping
Heart broken but seem happy compared to his actions
I’ve kicked out of legendary finishers
Provide clout with my signature
Words like a minister
You rappers looking Minature
Like you standing next to Paul Wright and he ain’t standing up
They ain’t understanding us
They done really damaged us
Give me the image I need to see
Success from some one with the same skin ass me
That had dream
lived it and grabbed a queen
It’s light shit ima rap machine
No matter if the brand change
I bet I do my damn thang
Practice how to say my damn name

My Time
02:33

This where I step to the front
I mean I’ve been frontline
But now it’s my time
It’s about time
I get just what I want
Been out rapping rappers wrapped with Deals
I’ve been able forreal it’s been painful for real
Now that I’m aiming at mills
I know they had to feel
Unreal seeing niggas die while they dream chasing
Think you invincible until you invisible
In all ways it’s critical
Mixing my kind with crime time is typical
Can a nigga just be crazy talented and impressive
The idea of this character is really a message
STO my opponents till that three count is upon us
They ring the bell for that moment
I feel I made it in on it
Make forever out of borrowed time
That’s what I did .. now what y’all gone do with y’all shine
I can’t stop them from hating, they can’t stop me from winning
I chose real over cool but still my fans spinning
Gang banging back pack rapper
Dress like I’m sponsored by Ralph Lauren
Red wine and fried red snapper
This is my time
Funny cause I’m never really ring side
Spot light when ever a king fight
I’ll droun in my emotion just to see somebody else saved

Gotta know what it means when you representing kings
Threatening competition while up against everything
Masters on the ladder I’ve been climbing
Different level now with different titles ive been shinning
Fly Eddie well more like Montez
Made the frog splash better big move small flex
You all next
Monday night rolling like my dawg Seth
Better get a shield you don’t really want to feel
Through the mud smoke and red cup
Racism slowed us down but they don’t want to race us
Reflection of hard work
Walking on a hurt ankle like I fought Kurt
Still stepping still lethal weapon
Still go 0-100 in a second
My opponent is nothing less of a lesson
I’ve learned from every fade
toure in every way
It’s feel different when you grew up it
Can’t fake chemistry when niggas is authentic
Paul hayman mic skills stripes like Shawn Bennett
Like Angelo Dawkins i body slam then finish
The little brother that really ran the business
Jordan’s 1 from way Up I crash landed in it
Here come the money
And we want the smoke don’t start acting like a dummy it’s lethal

A New Day
02:32
|

Started way back now I’m here
I can see a god type king in the mirror
From a different cloth Ralph Lauren cashmere
Bought my first mixtape S/O to Kashmir
We living in a new day
9 shots of dusé
Lethal or Touré LaVon to a Queen
Kick out king like I’m Austin Creed
Tough enough to level up they gone hall of fame me
Niggas will grab arms hand skills ain’t good
Bet this Jordan to your chin will have you lost in the woods
Big King Crown If you ain’t ever heard right
Up Up Down I’m Sean on 3rd strike
caught up on a page they wasn’t reading the book right
Came back stringer started throwing my hooks right
Biggie but I’m swole I’m big E on a good night
Over the top rope you ain’t know boy I been fly
Had to grind long for the right gold
Representing a vision niggas ain’t have an Eye for
Cold fit, style on ice
Spin around kicks like a trouble in paradise
N.O.Dub forever 9 up
Blue rag tucked they educated a thug
Can’t hide who I am
No mask infront of the cam
Thought took threw me out the game I stood on top on my hands
Oh lawd I’m back with another
Reason to be alive reason to be inside
A ring and risking m life
Breaking my pens and really gripping My mic
I got people that pray for me
Stood out in the rain for me
Looked and saw a king in me
Making this new day for me
It’s a New day
