3.	Damaged 01:19	lyrics	buy track
Lyrically I'm pensive/ And my catalog is extensive, but/ I'm conflicted, between conviction n vanity, on the brink of insanity, can it be/ Expectations have damaged me, before anyone else compete wit ya self/ Niggas wanna clip my wings before I get the, chance to bring em things/ More than designer jeans chains n rings/ But u gotta take the good with the bad even tho the truth stings/ Don't tell me lighten up I had to tighten up, I cut several loose strings/ What the fuck life’s rough so what but, you gotta be tough/ But that ain't enough/ uh [Chorus:]- Soakin up the sunshine listening to roy ayers/ broad day i’m smokin all flavors bambus n raw papers/ yo/ (repeat) Little regard for the neighbors/ They say we outrageous

Frankincense mixed with the stanky scent/ Burnin elements our relevance is prevalent/ Steez Heaven Sent, God Supreme but the team hella bent/ To the knowledge never negligent, you better pay ya rent/ The vision darker than a tint behind the hidden souls of men/ No Ill intent/ Spread love throughout the land n villages, building with the lil kids/ Let em know who we is, handle our biz slid to the crib/ Just to smoke a spliff, you nigz is not focused as this/ You hokus pokus with the tricks/ Always spot you in the mix after 6, playin with these chics, playin with these chips uh/ I'm tryna, stay with a grip/ Lyrics sprayin off tha hip, off tha rip, off tha shitz/ Check you off my list nigga how raw is, this/ Movin like bosses n shit/ (Bitch) (Ad-Libs:)- Yo EricBeatz whattup mah.. Straight from Brazil this pack right here.. Virgin Islands Stand up.. 340 man.. Let's goooo Twin City man, aye!

I met good people I met bad/ I'm grateful for all the times we had/ Regretting all of the times I was sad, missing my blessings, lookin in the wrong direction/ Why you lookin tho, that's the question/ Nigga even I can't stop faith/ So why the fuck ya'll still hate/ Tryna eliminate dependencies n all weak tendencies/ Even at my lower self niggaz envied me/ Man I wasn't even friends with me/ Literal, you niggas always speaking generally/ Rappers weird n scared for my bars they unprepared/ But we here/ (yo) (Repeat 3x) We in this Bitch man/ yo [Chorus:] - I don't do well with weird energy/ Me n my Queen got that rare chemistry/ I don't do well with weird energy, me n my team got that rare Chemistry/ (Repeat)

[Verse 1:]- Visions of living without divisions n prisons n niggas imprisoned/ Crucial decisions n isms n prisms of light/ Activism through sinning I’ve risen/ New beginnings n endings reconsidering how i’m livin/ Keep on winnin its within us, beginners take steps to finish/ No rush, but there’s limits/ I’m just, ducking these spirits, I still/ Fuck wit my niggas, cuz we all sinners/ (we all sinners) They tryna apprehend us/ But they force never bend us, use to be a big spender/ Even sacrificed breakfast lunch n dinner/ The Lord, made me a winner/ [Chorus:]- The truth is painful cuz only a few know it/ For love i’m grateful cuz only a few show it/ This world hateful, be graceful or you blow it/ This my light i cant wait to bestow it/ [Verse 2:]- Don’t, know what i did, 2 deserve the life i live/ Flesh of a man/ Soul of a kid/ I start 2 cry when i think about how blessed i is/ Bless the kids/ The reason that i live is to give/ Provide 4 ma nigs, my queen by my left rib/ I mean I’ll die 4 this shit, my pride don’t exist/ I keep God in the mix/ Lookin 4 da right words 2 say/ We often do the right things in the wrong way (aye)/ Looked in the mirror saw the truth/ My 9-5 in the booth/ My niggas smokin boof out da coupe, fuck da roof like da group we livin proof/ yo We livin proof' [Chorus:] - (Repeat)

U feel some type of way cuz u weak/ I could hear it when u speak/ Niggas discreetly reach and leach, n get mad when they operation’s breached/ But dont tweak, not with me/ Cuz I don't owe u a thing but i could show u some things/ U dudes know what i bring, n the truth stings, Preach/ n the truth stings, Preach/ You not responsible for they happiness, but they treat you like you the cause of they misery/ Is it me? It couldn't be, naw/ [Chorus:] - You worth every lil bit, every bit of it/ (Repeat 2x) You worth every lil bit/ [Bridge:]- You livin in the past, but i’m in the present/ No lookin back, no half stepping/ Hit the gas, that’s a trip to Heaven/ Hit the gas, that's a trip to Heaven

EricBeatz whattup.. Feels like I just left Brazil man.. I'm still in the Islands n what not... Studying, Recording, etc. Without further ado though... Let's give em what they want... Yo Demons got me on da defense it’s hard to pretend/ Although we got to man its hard to defend is it all just an end/ Fight to ascend good n evil man we all on the fence/ For you rappers in need wish i had bars to lend/ For all the time u spend, u dont, got the dominance or confidence i don’t recommend/ Mind's in a trench mines on the bench i had to take a break/ Strong mind n conscious keeps the pen great/ Usually pen late, but today was a good day/ Bar a day keep u whack rappers away, I told u i could mold u but not in a day/ The plot got us spiritually rotting away/ But this fly cat got 9 lives thru rhyme i got ten more/ Shoulda, coulda, woulda owned a pen store/ I think outside of the box but i work indoors higher than ten floors when i write/ I think about awards in the night, provided to u raw ya diet is ensured aiight/ I hope my vocal chords give u life, it takes one moors to teach ten white man to bathe/ N u tellin me we slaves, not hardly, we god body/ Smokin long Bob Marleys, South, African tours in the Safari/ My queen like shrimp n calamari, I like fruits n conscious parties/ Congregated with the godly segregated n seperated from the frauds/ Half ass partly’s n hardly’s/ Ebony queen ride me like a Harley vroom!/ yo

EricBeatz whattup! Still in Brazil.. (clears throat) I’ve broken my neck for people who wouldn’t lift a finger for me/ It’s a sad story clap for me, I don't want a cookie/ Not a rookie to this pain veteran in this game, you a novice/ You spent too much fucking time in college, that's ya fuckin problem/ Cant decipher information from knowledge/ Welcome to my life i’ll show you what it’s like in the islands/ Niggas hype n they violent, cuz they not solid, uh/ You know my type i’m tight n i’m silent, uh/ But you like when i’m wildin/ yo/ But you like when I'm wildin/ But you like when I'm.. [Chorus:]- Displaying my art, portraying my heart/ Till the end from the start there was light there was dark/ i was here i was gone, I went there i was lost/ I went there I was lost/ (Repeat 3x)

Yo, yo EricBeatz whattup Still in Brazil.. yo In life you either have money or time/ Mad shit up on my mind make it hard to recline/ Problems dozen a dime, eating honey n lime/ The grind is to climb, my mind is sublime, I'm/ Feelin like BlackStar man I'm seeking respiration/ Gotta be exact man no time for estimation/ Never seeking validation I'm patient with my creations/ Shout out to my Africans n Hatians, the sufferation is amazing/ I'm drinking Sarsaparilla n I'm thinkin bout my lover/ The way we compliment each other/ Wishin we was smothered underneath the covers, staring at each other/ Her brown skin, feel like cocoa butter my brother that's word 2 mother, tryna plant seeds of Life/ To grow food for my people so I can feed my wife/ Pick leaves that i reap to blow trees in the night/ Land of the weak, home of the slaves/ Can't even eat or breathe I needa fast for days/ Everybody tryna find a faster way, but we in the last of days/ Faced with masks n masquerades, but I don't play charades/ But you could prolly catch this fade, all in a day/ why even wait/ (yo) why even wait/ Elevate, Levitate, Meditate, Celebrate/ yo All the rest can wait/ All the rest can wait/ (Repeat)
