Once upon a time you said you love me
Then shit got ugly
But now it’s Ok
Yeah
Do you recall you said you loved me?
See you was just delusional
Cause all the shit you put me through
Was too much for an interlude,
An album or anthology
Apology accepted
You did your dirt
Then cleaned yourself up
To get respected
Hopefully effective
I hold grudges no longer
My chakra is stronger
She wronged me I wronged her
It’s time that we grow up
And leave the past behind that nice ass
By the way you lookin good today
But don’t get gassed,
I ain’t making a pass.
Tho I confess I’m in the mood to play
So what you say?

These Days
I might just lose my mind
Need to find another way
These days it’s hard to find
The time to pull away
Living on time borrowed
Thinking it’s mine & it’s paid for
Capitalizing on sorrow
Are we even fighting the same war?
I’m not just here for the ride
Got one, I speak my mind
They don’t want you to believe
In you, or set you free
These days won’t define me
(No no)
Not losing my way
Won’t get me to stay down, stay down
(No matter what you do)
These days I been tired
(So tired)
It’s day by day
Still finding my way out
(Gonna see it through)
If the truth is never reliable
And it cost more than a city of liars do
Then why am I - ?
Forget it, overthinking is a waste of time
Stay occupied - water my soul keep feeding my mind
And I wonder why
I see em shady on the low low
Bitches with their pictures saying nothing bout the po-po
“To each his own”, well I don’t know, if you say so
(In other words I’m not an angel)
Keep my demons out of habit
Can anybody relate?
I been following the rabbit
Down every path it take
He’s calling it a pattern
I’m calling it a mistake
But I’m losing the battle whichever way
These days won’t define me
(No no)
Not losing my way
Won’t get me to stay down, stay down
(No matter what you do)
These days I been tired
(So tired)
It’s day by day
Still finding my way out
(Gonna see it through)
I might just lose my mind
Need to find another way
These days it’s hard to find
The time to pull away

Imma say how it is
These frauds talking gritty they ain’t loved how we lived
Or seen what we seen, it started from a flip to a flip
Now we gaining popularity we’re trebling bricks
But we better than this
Depending on your preferences
I’m getting money you depend on a bitch
I’m a front line soldier man your whole team just sit on the bench
You ain’t up to par nigga see it is what it is
Let me write down the words
You know that I can speak better when it’s written in verse form
The lyrics manifest man it feels like a curse for em
Lyrics like a gun I let the go burst for em
Young general used to scale to the decimal
Bitches fell in love with the rapper they say incredible
Things about the Eaz man they done put me on a pedestal
Too high to fall my standards impeccable
Hook
Remember back then they were playing me like piggy in the middle
My side ting met my other side ting now I think I’m in a pickle
Mmmm - yeah yeah yeah yeah
Dunknow yeah ya dunknow
Stop calling me on unknown
Might see me in a Benzo
Won’t see me in the friend-zone
Verse 2
Hood nigga man I don’t know better
Raised by the hustlers my brudda I'm a go getta
They ain’t tryna see me shine, so I walk around the town with a blade like a propeller
Pen bloody man this that real life
Fuck all of them bars if you ain’t rapping bout that real life
Hard I’d come for that wrist if it’s looking real nice
Judge slammed the book and at that time there I realised,
They ain’t got the stamina
Raised on the block but my soul lives in Africa
Learnt to multiply on the street
I graduated from the block, it’s that hood type of algebra
Eaz been a problem from young
These tings wanna fuck with me but I ain’t falling in love
See it is what it is
I get bitches when I’m broke imagine when I get rich
Hook
Remember back then they were playing me like piggy in the middle
My side ting met my other side ting now I think I’m in a pickle
Mmmm - yeah yeah yeah yeah
Dunknow yeah ya dunknow
Stop calling me on unknown
Might see me in a Benzo
Won’t see me in the friend-zone

More smoke for the OCBs
See 'em doin' too much call it O.T.T. uh,
Lowkey you can call me lowkeyz
Still take the whole league and I put the whole team on
O.T I been getting no sleep all night, all week
Like a expisode re-run
On me I been stuck behind the scenes
Now the mix sound clean like I got Ali on it
I'm no outlaw EDI mean?
But i kill de nigg'z; idi mean nah mean tho?
You dont really see me do a lot 'czi ain't
Really on the social media thing nah mean bro?
Graduated from the school of hard knocks
So I'm cool on the clout cause it's really not me bro
Everybody always cooler online, ask me,
They a tool in a real life
I'm just tryna put
put on for my city like my last name Hamad
first name Ahmed
Iconic
Bitch ask Proof I ain't gotta prove nothing
Feelin' like Hoosh, I'm STUCK in
I'm stuck in a loop
I wish I could do some different and cool
Wish I had the juice
I need fuloos deposit recoup
Collect and deduce, divide and redo it again
More smoke for the OCBs
See 'em doin' too much call it O.T.T. uh,
Lowkey you can call me lowkeyz
Still take the whole league and I put the whole team on
O.T I been getting no sleep all night, all week
Like a expisode re-run

Respect homie like us
Tic tac toe don't cross me
This 100 no bluff
I think you want me to lose
Bitch i'm all in my clutch
Big blunt fill up my dutch
They said follow my guts
Why you still want me to lose?
This here's all i needed
Puttin' my heart on my sleeve
I want it all, want it all in my arms
Everybody change like seasons
And trust isn't something easy
What if I'm better off on my own?
Said I'm better off all alone on my ones
With nothing but my blood and my fuckin' day ones
We been thru the thickest and thinnest on all sides
We dont need nobody new with us we alright
Tell me what it cost to figure the right ones?
Who gon ride it all out and who gon ride once?
More smoke for the OCBs
See 'em doin' too much call it O.T.T. uh,
Lowkey you can call me lowkeyz
Still take the whole league and I put the whole team on
O.T I been getting no sleep all night, all week
Like a expisode re-run

Now the mix sound clean like I got Ali on it

Heights:
Yeah
I been up and active
Tracing round the planets like I’m ET
Breaking out the box just like I’m Mario Luigi
Cause you have met your match
Don’t let these matches come to meet me
Shit’ll get explosive
So boom
Niggas don’t want me up in my bag
I pull the zipper down and piss on ua glitter, glitz, and ya glam
I pay no regard, can’t slip to it, rather stick to the plan
They don’t show they heart, except when they double click on the gram- I spent a couple years dismissing the shit that’s within a nigga
Little Virginia nigga, that grew up with bright dreams
It might seem
That I done flew to heights without some nice wings
But I been falling into the sky and I jumped at 19
Understand? That’s why they say they coming for my head
Why they did a lot of shit I never did to get ahead
And everybody underfed
They hit the store to beg for bread? (hmm emoji voice)
I really need the dough I learn to bake it on my own insteaaad nigga
It’s hard, but I’ll never starve needing what they hand me
Dawg life is such a broad fuck her with her panties - on
Going in it raw and ion got no plan B
When I’m on take my mom with me to the Grammy’s
Word to Bas, took a lot of fuckin risks
Just to follow what I wanted to do and look how I did
I was ready to go pop when some niggas broke in crib
I got angels in the sky they was talking me off the ledge oh yeah
Thank God for your sake nigga
Cause when it come to me and mine bitch I wont play with ya
People said I shouldn’t rap cause (i probably wont) it wont make figures
That would be like telling Shaq nigga don’t play Center
Cause I was made for this
Spent too many seasons on the waiting list
Spent too many dollars out here chasing this from videos, to hours in the basement, till it finally started making sense
I aint chasing chips that shit come with it when you play to win
Don’t it
You better quote it
When everything is falling down
And aint no one around
Do you fold or fall?
Do you carry on?
I’m climbing the mountain dancing with the rain
Take me a shot romancing with the pain
And I just made up my mind
I made up my mind, yeah
Tryna figure out when my heart turned hollow
Said I loved you when you had 10 follows
Shit been catching up, we drown our feelings in a bottle
Do it all again or not, depending how tomorrow go
Look in my eyes while we dancing
I got a mind full of questions
Asking: What if this life was everlasting?
Why are we high?
It’s never lasting no way
When everything was falling down
People aint pick up but niggas calling now
Funny how they love you when you balling now
Wouldn’t even give a fuck if they was crawling now, pff
I’ma tell you what I would tell me
Gotta know dark to know it’s sunny
You gotta look back, move fast (on track), to know you running
Take more than a dap, 2 taps, to show you love me
When everything is falling down
And aint no one around
Do you fold or fall?
Do you carry on?
I’m climbing the mountain dancing with the rain
Take me a shot romancing with the pain
And I just made up my mind
I made up my mind, yeah
Making my mind up nowadays
Met this chick the other day
She said niggas aint shit they quick to running game
Niggas say they in then quit they renegades
Not even a text, a sec to tell me hey
I just wanna dip, a trip to get away
Seeing how she bent, I skipped to tell her hey
I mean why you give a damn, you lit, you better slay
Said it’s hard to do but simp for you to say
I mean y’all just hit a bitch and live another day
Thinking with your dick, you quick to get away
Meanwhile, we feeling connected, wish it went away
Imagine all the love you get you give away
Imagine all the times you sit and feel betrayed
Took another hit then wished she went away
She said she even fit to live another day
When everything is falling down
And aint no one around
Do you fold or fall?
Do you carry on?
I’m climbing the mountain dancing with the rain
Take me a shot romancing with the pain
And I just made up my mind
I made up my mind, yeah
Looping round in circles
Sorry —- please believe me when I tell you that I didn’t mean to hurt you
Needed me to love you I guess I aint never learn to
Any other nigga better show you he deserve you
But
I’m locked in, tryna keep it sunny
Wonder if I need a 9-5 to get some money
Fits still bummy, shoes still muddy
Pray to God he handle all the matters that’s above me
I talk to Him when I get low
I should probably pray more when it’s nothing that’s wrong
I should be more present when my family at home
Shit they aint here forever, so a second is long
If I keep this grind forever, will I ever get on?
If I make it to the top, am I ever gon fall?
Do it matter if you don’t know what you doing it for?
December 16 96 - when a legend was born
On y’all
