2.	Fly With Me 03:36	lyrics	buy track
I got, something funky for you chunky monkeys New music, new sound, same old me Got progressive with the flow more creative mind This heart ain’t gone cold but we still got time You are cool but I am cooler Don’t believe me check Medusa I live my life like do or die no suicide Now I’m thinking like “maybe I was born to fly” Born to die, born to run, and I’m never done And the place where I live is way ahead of em But when the thunder comes with the reaper I am gonna keep the peace inside my soul I’ve seen dark valleys this I know Life can be so cyclical Round and round and round it goes And when it stops that’s all you got On this plane of existence time is ticking away So much stress on the day to day Just watch it melt away right when I say Hook Come fly with me Come fly with me yeah (X4) Heads up you are jamming with the baddest mamma jamma on the planet. Watch me make out like a bandit blast off to another planet New dimension, did I mention Tomorrow’s never promised man I know I’m being honest Ima talk my talk regardless I don’t what you think but I’m not flawless I don’t care what you think I just wanna flaw less I don’t what you read just do it with the context I don’t know what’s next. Better check the almanac Think I thunder coming. Think I hear the thunder coming. I haven’t even started running Gotta grab the baton finish strong. I gotta hit the runway take off Gotta hit the jets. Avoid expectations I just know Ima do me I just know I gotta live free Rise and shine it’s time to take off and fly Hook Come fly with me Come fly with me yeah (X4)
3.	Chimera 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Hook Drivin around in corollas, thinking about my chimera Pray that I keep my focus, know that the devil won’t save ya (x2) In my day dream I see Me on a big stage all clean Fresh on the mic like outcast Know that the present won’t last Back to the future I go Three double zero five my home How did my heart get so cold I Move in silence like I’m told I compact car only got 4 seats That’s me an the holy trinity Sometimes I see but don’t observe Eyes glazed over to the world I came I saw I conquered giants Just like David and Goliath Came through dripping. Pebbles flying Gods been good but lately I’ve been Running from the present cause I been presently undermining everything around me. My life is different and somewhat shiny in the horizon there’s a silver lining I know I’ll find it Hook Drivin around in corollas, thinking about my chimera Pray that I keep my focus, know that the devil won’t save ya (x2) Driving in corollas thinking of chimeras Skipping on the soda I don’t have the paper I make art and I ain’t worried bout the paper Never gonna know just where my mind will take ya I need favors, I need favors, I need favors Can’t afford to pay for labor, maybe later We can get together and make this dream come true All I know is that I need you I might, make my, whole life, Just like sunshine and butterflies I might, choose to, give you, Good things, like real talk, and good news I might spread hope and love Make war and peace just cause My future shrouded in mystery We can talk about but for now I’ll be Hook Drivin around in corollas, thinking about my chimera Pray that I keep my focus, know that the devil won’t save ya (x4)
4.	Locomotion 02:36	lyrics	buy track
Sometimes I get stuck feeling like An underdog or a little guy That I over indulge my minds eye And my little arms won’t touch the sky Sometimes I feel like a champion Like I’ve done enough when the day is done Like I’ve won the day before the games begun And only greatness comes off my tongue locomotion is the only way I know I can make it through the day Stillness is just like a poison to me so I kick and I scream just to get some relief Rolling stone collecting no moss There’s no roots and no boss I’m too young I’m too loud I live it up In the down and out The bridge is fractured there’s no crossing now I’m moving backwards and the darkness crowds Vision blurs and my words slur Heart slows and my eyes close I’m breathing no more (4x)
5.	Dontchaknow (feat. Macklyn) 03:19	lyrics	buy track
Keebler people tryna keep me down All I know is that I’m lost and found No one knowing what I’m sayin how Overthinking all my lyrics now People still don’t take me serious I told you I’m comin so furious I think you missing the vision Not my fault if you don’t listen See how I’m rapping in triplets Almost like your favorite rapper did I promise I’m checking my dividend But there’s no change on bottom line Still I got no change of mind Praying I get sanctified Feeling old, but too young to die The grass is greener on the other side And at the humble age of 23 People always set on askin me How come you ain’t girlfriend? You really happy you single now? Hook Don’t ya know that, don’t ya know that, don’t ya know that its just not worth your precious time (x4) Freedom of my creativity I do not care if you listening And I know that the last is first, so I’m on my way to a gold medal No string got no geppetto Tied to few cause I know better Say what feel and facin my foes The man in the mirror is growin so bold I do what I’m told but don’t do what I’m told Walking by faith but I’m breaking the mold Spreading my wings. Leaving the fold Going to places that I’ve never gone But all of this baggage is weighing me down Look at me now stuck on the ground As I walk a thousand miles carrying past present and future anxieties That can be crippling best believe That’s why I sit and I sip my tea Hopin and praying peace please Jesus give us relief My stress is flowin like streams It make me weak in the knees Control is still something I seek but I’m letting it go it’s not what I need Hook Don’t ya know that, don’t ya know that, don’t ya know that its just not worth your precious time (x4)
6.	it might be irrelevant 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Learn new things every day This effervescent man is getting dumb again Shiny things finna lead me to my detriment It’s impressively ever presently evident Give me a second I’m second guessing this mess I’m in I learned new lessons I’m reassessing the wreckage I’m blazing trails. I’m highlighting all my exits I ask questions of relevance Who what where and how is this System of a fallen man demanding all this dominance It’s just another object with destructive capabilities I wonder why we always keep Causing all this damage with no consequence. It’s obvious we (I) need change Keepin evil like we need it as a keepsake Keep identities locked up inside a briefcase But nobody wanna talk real these days For Pete sake I wanted to let you know That life don’t always work that way (X2) I think I can. I think I can I think therefore I am I think I keep on overthinking things like every other man I think my efforts are irrelevant and blown about like sand I think my destiny is written and it’s all outa my hands (X4) I wanted to let you know That life don’t always work that way (X2)
