Fragrance still shock the neighbors plug droppin lots of flavors like its 420/ Plus to celebrate we poured henny smoke to much to savor, but gorilla glue I love the taste of/ So high at this point, man we smokin for the taste buds/ Financially I'm tryna stay up/ But roaches I still save em hun, we don't waste none/ Frustration's a waste of cum/ Takes more than a physique to get me sprung, as far as my queen I ain't seen one/ To compete, none/ We in complete freedom/ Cheap thrills n frills I no longer need em, almost seems awkward with the bars I feed em/ Cuz from the mental bars I free em but it's only stars they seeing/ They want, cars n garms thats European/ From our ancestors they constantly thieving, ya'll smart phone grieving/ Internet beefing, pullup on ya news feed n i bleed it (skkrrr)/ The arrogant get paid for ignorant tweeting but you need it, right?/ It's so misleading... It's so misleading..
3.	Middle Ground 01:40	lyrics	buy track
[ Verse 1: ]- Stuck in the middle like Malcolm/ I'm just waiting on the outcome, without income I might just do without one/ Lotta doubt son, i'm tryna re-route uhm, I'm trapped in my mind tryna make it out of, oh how fun/ Another day without funds/ Could've had some but i fucked around playin the bum/ Pockets would have been straight if I had only played it safe/ I like a risk/ Pride kinda died, Lord knows I was the proudest, pack stay the loudest and I wont do without it/ (and I won't do without it) [ Verse 2: ]- Stains on my Scottie Pippen's got me trippin/ Lost a lot of writtens n visions, but lyrically you get bodied pimpin/ Stop the simpin, word to Gaara Black, my nigga show you the difference/ Your inventions got twisted intentions/ That's why, lately I give a fuck about a mention/ or co-sign, you'll lose ya mind seeking attention/ For the wrong reasons, it's gon be a long season, feels like summer all seasons cuz lava I'm breathing/ (damn) Flow so juicy/ Your wordplay amuse me, you use the term Bro too losely/ I cruise through streets and sheets of loose leaf, it's a true breeze/ I, wanna face doobies in the jacuzzi, u wanna chase n taste fake groupies/ I'm chasing loot, fuck u fake goofies I'ma just do me, this ain't for you dude breathe/ Take a chill pill, this taking real skill/ You not, real ILL/ Ya music don't got no real feel, that's why I still spill/
4.	Sunken Place 02:03	lyrics	buy track
Smoke so much weed my life is a dream/ But that ain't, quite what it seems man thoughts unclean/ Ion think you understand what I mean, it's a terrible scene/ I'm praying my sins don;t get cast on my offspring, my past haunting/ My path is a daunting task/ That's why we on some gas, till we screaming free at last/ Economics was a hell of a class, but I was stuck to the back/ Never really knew where my confidence was at/ Prolly came through the ignorance my ego went splat/ since then I ain't went back, when I did I regret that/ I know that shit is a death trap, cant help but get/ Blacked out or faded I'm bored I hate to say it/ That's why I refuse to start sippin, then I start trippin/ I'll be over drinkin like I'm over smokin overthinking, I'm/ In the Matrix like Jada Pinkett Smith/ But you think it's lit, nigga I sank my ship/ You give, thanks for this/ I was on my vegan tip until I slipped, starting eating fish, now I'm eating shit/ Used to be a decent kid, at least I thought I was/ Constantly regretting the ways I was brought up/ What you taught us, don't be a martyr/ Rappers getting slaughtered/

First time I really felt judged was when I looked at myself, I been looking for help/ Mixed the jellyfish with the Gelato/ Young man these rappers ain't ya role models, truth a tough pill to swallow Bitch I gotta whole bottle full of dem shits, take a pull from the spliff n then I'm lit/ Real gas in the tropics we smoke that hot shit, no capp'n niggas'll really pop shit/ Don't get swallowed by the lockness/ Listen to the shit the lyrics I spit, more than just rappin when I drop shit, man I got this/ Man I got this/
7.	Background 02:21	lyrics	buy track
[ Chorus: ]- Raised on a Jazz Background/ Raised where you can't back down, yeah/ Raised on a Jazz Background, raised where you cant back down/ My favorite genres is Hip-Hop, Jazz, and R&B/ In that order musically I like to fuse all three/ How did hobbies turn to competition. honestly it was my decision/ Far as rhyming lyrics, thought I was defying physics/ Now my ego in check/ till my demons connect/ I chose a struggling artist over a rich sellout/ over this me n momz nearly fell out, 18 out the house I had to get out/ I could've went to college she gave me the knowledge, and I did/ But I didn't finish mind's diminished off the spinach but yet replenished, but, let me finish/ Thoughts getting ILL, when I spit face looking grimmace, you timid/ Tryna push life to the limit/ I'm In it/ yo [ Chorus: ] (Repeat 3x) [ Bridge: ]- I'm fry cooking food for thought/ Don't rush it, it's in the oven/ (repeat 3x)

Mind's not in the present, but presently I'm in heaven/ Girl it's no half stepping with love/ b4 I sleep when I wake up, I'm, thinking of us/ I don't think that you trust me, the way that I trust you/ It hurts but I created that, I'm still that faded jaded cat/ I don't know where that playa at no more/ But was he ever there it was always a facade a, lover man I am/ Always so clear the King was a God/ Destined to find a Goddess to match the energy and vibe/ And her aura strong and we hit it off now I hit it raw/ Feelings involved just don't set it off/ Just don't set it off, Just don't set it off/ Don't set it off/ we gon get it all/

[Chorus:]- What is Love? Love is Life/ (repeat 3x) Love is pain/ Love is fight/ Love ain't wrong, it's always right/ Always there depending on what your vision's like/ You could see it in plain sight/ You could see it in plain sight (repeat 2x) Bright/ Love is Love/ And comfort is a hell of a thing/ It's a devilish thing, it makes you settle for things/ It's a terrible thing/ The truth hurts it's a hell of a sting, but/ Love is love (repeat 3x) Love is life/ Love is heavy, love is light/ Some love is dark, some love is bright/ Never wrong/ Always Right/ Love is never Ego, love is never pride/ Those are all hate, just let em die/ And I tried.. And I tried, and I tried, and I tried and I cried and I lied and I died/ You could feel it on the inside/ Love is Love/ Love is Love..
14.	Prophecy (Verse) 00:33	lyrics	buy track
Many idolize the rise while I prophesized the end is near/ Acquired knowledge that's rare enough to incite fear/ Tryna keep composure, while acknowledging the truth/ Surrounded by the lost youth n still don;t know what to do/ Love is the truth, the sun is the proof/ Trading places with the moon/ Guiding the stars to our hearts, aligning me n U/ Ain't no finding me n you/ when we lost in the astrals, I used to be a hassle lil muhfuckin rascal/ Realize that I'm moving slow while time moving faster/ Every master was once a disaster/ Let's turn the chapter/
