My Gut Told Me So 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Music with a mission ten years in a row  Delivering the message to you rain sleet or snow  About to change the game and take this all over the globe  My gut told me so You just know it when you know  Could be selling o's but got verses in a zip  I told Jesus take the wheel He told me get a grip  This is that new Nomad you can bump up in your whip If the uber driver don't play me you might not get a tip   This alignment Apple Watch that's perfect timing  I'd still be an artist and a leader if I wasn't rhyming Now making equity and change is my main assignment  Got my people to the polls And I don't mean the king of diamonds  God is dope got my demons by the throat  And the devil trying to grapple with his back against the ropes  What you shooting for if you ain't aiming for your goals  Got a hair pin trigger and my eye up in the scope And I ain't need an Interscope  Still roc the nation without a co-sign from Hov Still feel like a guru Black and proud like I'm a Zulu  If they do it to your people don't think it can't happen to you  Built TONE for the culture you can watch it like it's HULU  When you make it Those who paid no mind now swear that they knew you But that's okay Would have got here anyway  Came from slaves Now I'm captain of my ship and we're bout to make a wave  Wave wave wave wave wave wave Sink or swim it's the Wave wave wave wave wave wave LxVE or TONE that's the Wave wave wave wave wave wave Taking over all the air Wave wave wave wave wave wave Can see all the way from here that's the wave Ain't no pride by side  We just thankful we alive  Better hop in for the ride cause we're gone Catch a wave roll the tide  And we're shining so there ain't nowhere to hide Now watch us set the tone  It's the wave it's the wave It's the wave it's the wave It's the wave Sink or swim it's the wave It's the wave it's the wave It's the wave it's the wave It's the wave LxVE or TONE that's the It's the wave it's the wave It's the wave it's the wave It's the wave Taking over all the air It's the wave it's the wave It's the wave it's the wave It's the wave Can see all the way from here that's the wave Ain't no pride by side  We just thankful we alive  Better hop in for the ride cause we're gone Catch a wave roll the tide  And we're shining so there ain't nowhere to hide Now watch us set the tone

I'm a walking art show They love me for my mind and my heart though They plotting got to watch out for the narcos Cause these lines make me money That's a bar code That's a bar code I got love to infinity Could look you in your eyes I won't see an enemy But your aura's giving off some bad energy Change your mind state That's the best remedy That's the remedy And this beat is sending me Used to skip school bumping Dom Kennedy Now I'm riding through Leimert bumping my shit And if he ever hear it bet he'd like it Life's feeling sweeter than a card with a rose Was x'ed out out now I'm getting x's and the o's And I don't mean clothes When I say excellence is in my jeans Like velcro's on Girbaud's And you can do it too Surround yourself with people that will help to get you through People scared to grow Need to learn something new I'm always cooking I'll have something for you in a few Cause I'm a walking art show They love me for my mind and my heart though They plotting got to watch out for the narcos Cause these lines make me money That's a bar code That's a bar code I'm a walking art show They love me for my mind and my heart though They plotting got to watch out for the narcos Cause these lines make me money That's a bar code That's a bar code Barcode Anybody skeptic waisting my time Clocking in day and night Writing my rhymes I'll be building a Pulitzer Prize From the inside my mind If you want a piece Imma send an invoice Earning to learn not to be exploited Now I only spread joy with this voice Hopping off the L I got your W Bringing back the styles that are discontinued Taking your lines up to my emerald city view Yeah Cashing in my checks Going to help my daddy too He came from the island Doing whatever it took Now I'm writing these hooks My life's cooked And it's shook And that's a bar code Narcos

From the Screen Door 02:17

I got rhymes in the kitchen  Grammys in the stove  Hungry and we're about to get more If you ain't cooking what you her for You can smell them meals from the screen door This that word filler  Curb peeler doper than your herb dealer  Twitter fingers over tweets That nigga is a bird killer  Disrespectful grammar's like bananas to a gorilla  How you hate me and I never exchanged words with ya  Hanging like a crucifix With niggas that I grew up with  Before I got tagged I always knew I'm it  Fast & Furious  And I play my role like Ludacris  Need a polygraph to find anybody as true as this  Yes sir true indeed  You and your team spreading out L's Like it's collabs from Dapper Dan and Louis V Open up your eyes There's way more for you to see  If I get with the program it's going to be with Huey P's  Plus I'm on my Q's and P's  Wifey gets my X and O's  Map it out from A to Z  Ducking alphabets in peace  About to leave a shiny crown on my family tree top  Thanks to this art I will never die like Enoch  Walking with the Lord in my brand new Nikes  Is it wrong I dated Venus and I married Aphrodite  Revenge tastes sweet but im seasoned on these beats   Feel like Jesus when I get the bread cause everybody eats  I got rhymes in the kitchen  Grammys in the stove  Hungry and we're about to get more If you ain't cooking what you her for You can smell them meals from the screen door

Three homies with me that will ride Yeah you know it's a vibe yeah Girl loves me by my side And you know she a vibe yeah Slow creeping through the night Every time it's a vibe yeah Every time Unless you handing out beats stop playing with me Got one queen laying with me Book my damn self you ain't paying with me Unit worth a few G's I ain't saying 50 No time for the games we got one life So I gotta get it done til it's done right Like a werewolf working til the sunlight Giving spare hooks got gold in my hard drive Let ya'll get gone off the goose I hit the stage, hit the studio and get loose Know that I'm smooth off the top like a coup We winning over here you might want to call a truce Only drop classics Give this beat a casket Breath life to it, bring it back like back flip This need to come with some candles and 1500 count silk sheets on a Cali King mattress (vibe) Three homies with me that will ride Yeah you know it's a vibe yeah Girl loves me by my side And you know she a vibe yeah Slow creeping through the night Every time it's a vibe yeah Every time I play what I like And it just so happens I'm a vibe And you can't fake the funk I'm born like this sweetie, don't even try Your man wants to come through I guess Spilling champagne and the compliments Tell me how he love me, I'm a queen no less Put a vibe on it Help relieve that stress Three homies with me that will ride Yeah you know it's a vibe yeah Girl loves me by my side And you know she a vibe yeah Slow creeping through the night Every time it's a vibe yeah Every time

Matrimony ft. FINKEL 04:27
lyrics

I need space No debate I need God I need faith I need Him to give me grace And to bring it with some haste Life is tough I need way more than a gun to keep me safe Heard revenge is bittersweet It's a good thing I got taste I've been straight Raised my rates Soon as I moved out of state Asked me how I'm doing compared to my foes I'm doing great In school folks shot up the party Left his shirt with illustrates So we dipped and then sped off before the cops could run the plates On me If you really bout it pull up on me I know who you're thinking bout when you get lonely Me, Myself & I that's holy matrimony The one and only On me If you're really bout it pull up on me Know the difference between Fam and just a homie God done blessed the bag that's holy matrimony On Me Even if LA is where I reside Still from that Nap the east side Laugh at you niggas like you Richard Pryor But we the ones that's been on fire Can even smell rubber I burn on my tires And a bridge if I despise Cause I'm building something that's gonna live longer than me when I hit my demise Oh you trying to be the goat Boy I'm trying to be the hope Helping my people cope Conscience cleaner than your soap No I ain't pushing dope I'm fighting pushing off the ropes Fuck being fake woke They'll never take me as a joke Invest in the poor not the rich Won't feed them teach them how to fish I'm proud of my people It wasn't for us this country wouldn't even exist Love to the indigenous You got the short end of the stick That's why we all need to be fighting together Like fingers on black power fists In my realest state With my eyes on real estate Cutting out the middleman Won't get a cent of what we make Don't believe in competition That will distract from the mission But don't get me wrong if you really want smoke You won't even pass your emissions On me If you really bout it pull up on me I know who you're thinking bout when you get lonely Me, Myself & I that's holy matrimony The one and only On me If you're really bout it pull up on me Know the difference between Fam and just a homie God done blessed the bag that's holy matrimony On Me
