She like boy you too slow
You be going through the motions
Live fast when you lost in the moment
Waves crash that’s the path of the ocean
Eyes on the prize minimize the emotion
Words that I wrote I eloped with my own pen
Can’t choke on the smoke I’m a grown man
Word to my niggas in the Chi that’s on foenem
Just another star tryna shine outta Oakland
Yeah
The path that I walk
Can't be mad
Can’t be bought
Get a bag
Just to talk
Want it all
Need a lot
Know we all that we got
Light it up
Make it hot
Tell them know what you know
If you don’t then you not
We could go toe to toe
I still end up on top
If you really on a roll then you know it don’t stop
All gas no breaks
On go on lock
Big Basi in this bitch so you know we gone rock
They say I can’t shine but I’m golden
Always on time I was chosen
Nothing you could find gone hold him
tell me that it’s mine baby put me in control then
Life ain’t a fair game it’s a cheat code
Live right show love to yo people
Aye
The first step moving yo feet bro
Keep doing what you doing we gone be ok
She like the way I swang on the beat
Running game
Break the chain
Make a name they could see
What he do I did the same in a week
You don’t wanna feel the shame you could blame it on me
They say I can’t shine but I’m golden
Always on time I was chosen
Nothing you could find gone hold him
Tell me that it’s mine baby put me in control then

Come fill in the void
Baby boy I’m loving yo style
Girl I know you feel for the boy
But I’m built to destroy
Some point this ship goin’ down
You could be the Rose to my Jack

Let’s both swim back right now
I ain’t gone hold you
I just wanna hold you close
Baby can you hold me down?
I been on a cloud like Goku
Lemme come show you

Don’t panic
Why are we so damaged?
Can’t manage
We on the titanic
Don’t panic

She gone flock to noise
And the gleam of the bling and the blaow
Really we all gotta choice
But she want a Rolls Royce
So she poppin’ and pokin’ it out
I ain’t gone fall for the plot
Or ploy but my boy fell hard
So he scopin’ it out
I been tryna live in the moment
Own it
Make it do the most so I live it out loud
Always stand out
Can’t live in the crowd
Always panned out
No counting me out
Fall down
Get up
Ima reroute
I can’t switch up what I be ‘bout
Fork in road
In the heat or the cold
Big Basi stand strong
Hold it down ten toes
I’m the crease in the fold
Ima beast with the flow
When it all fall down baby
We on the titanic
Don’t panic
Why are we so damaged?
Can’t manage
We on the titanic
Don’t panic
Why are we so damaged?

Rock
Baby do ya thing don’t stop

Off top
Flex baby go and poke it out
You heard it here first word of mouth
Ok Stop
Drop roll when it’s hot
Tell me if you with it baby
Tell me if you not
We adopt
The mindset of niggas at the top
So we can’t fall down can’t flop
We all want a lot
But what you gone do with what you got
You got it better take yo shot
A lotta niggas drop the ball
Cause they want it all
They ain’t built to fall
Can’t rock
And no I’m not like y’all
Cause I heard the call
I bounce back and ball
I get too involved
Like watch in awe
Like Ye so appalled
They prayed for the fall
We stood very tall
Like
Rock
Baby do ya thing don’t stop
We don’t want problems
Please don’t make it hot
Off top
Flex baby go and poke it out
You heard it here first word of mouth
From the words of Da Gawd "get it in"
I hate them muhfuckas who pretend be ya friend
Something working for ya wanna steal it in the end
When I’m working with my pen
That’s when I go kioken
Whenever I’m on a beat
My power go up by ten
I been ducking dodging sins
Tryna make amends
Dropped a couple plans
Went back to the board
Drew them bitches up again
Stopping me impossible for any breathing man
And my goal for the women make ‘em wanna come again
That’s a wink
Keep ya paragraph
Don’t really care what ya think
On paper
Like Number 8 on lakers
I’m balling
Getting In it
So ima have to call you later
Pass the Rock
Baby do ya thing don’t stop
We don’t want problems
Please don’t make it hot
Off top
Flex baby go and poke it out
You heard it here first word of mouth

Better feat. Amen

I keep money on my mind just to motivate
She want me right on time but i’m running late
And the sun gone shine every new day
What I lost ima find every which way
First take first place ain’t no mistakes
Thought I told you Ima star I need my space
In the dark with the light hitting my face
This is art this is life this is our fate
And we wasn’t really ever on the same page
Ain't had the same pain or the same rage
Some niggas give it all just to maintain
Most niggas gone fall for the same thing
New noose is a chain niggas can’t
Hang
But he’ll try anything just to levitate
Too high to be standing in yo own way
True love true pain it’s the same thing
When it all feel the same then you can’t complain
You watching life pass by through the window pane
You only get so far staying in one lane
Gotta make something happen can’t wait on change
And we all want the same old thangs
She want it all plus a car and a diamond ring
In the mall tryna ball on the finer things
I don’t play those games
Girl you know better
You know I don’t play no games
In the sun or rain or any weather
Gone head do yo thang just say my name
It’s now or never
Feel the pressure
Nothing gon’ last forever
You know better
Girl you know better
You know I don’t play no games
In the sun or rain or any weather
Gone head do yo thang just say my name
It’s now or never
Feel the pressure
Nothing gon’ last forever
You know better
Say it one more time just to set it straight
Put it all on the line don’t hesitate
Real story of my life I ain’t had to fake
Catch it live for the low at the matinee
Prime time on the way you just gotta wait
This road had to pave it my own way
I know I’m the one and the only
She said Basi give it to me slowly
She fell real hard for the old me
Just say it right now what it’s gon’ be
If you want me right now baby show me
I remember all the times that you told me
I been livin in your mind
It was written in the rhyme
She said Basi please can you hold me
All I wanted was to shine
I been running from the grind
Ima get right back girl you know me
Girl you know better
You know I don’t play no games
In the sun or rain or any weather
Gone head do yo thang just say my name
It’s now or never
Feel the pressure
Nothing gon’ last forever
You know better
Boy you know better
You know I don’t play no games
In the sun or rain or any weather
Baby just do yo thang just say my name
It’s now or never
Feel the pressure
Nothing gon’ last forever
You know better

Ice Cold feat. Amen

This world cold
Ice cold
How you know where to go when the lights low
How you know what to die what to fight for
If I see it with my eyes then I might go
But most blinded by the lies so they life slow
Live fast die slow on my own toes
I don’t have foes baby I ain’t so and so
Ima asshole so if you know you know
It’s only me and you girl we gotta row the boat
You wanna stay afloat
Make it home
See the show
That’s just my ego baby Ima brag and boast
Wherever She-go I’m gone do the most
I ain’t Kim but I make it all possible
That's him with the center-seam jeans and the brim low
Window to my soul see what you in for
Smoking on some indo
High when I been low
If you ain’t been broke you wouldn’t know
I’m talking physical baby not spiritual
Cause I been rich at heart for a minute though
If you content with where you at then what you in it for
I ain’t convinced you gotta show me what I didn’t know
Makin sense and making dollars this a different flow
Same one that put Noah in the big boat
Son still gon’ shine yeah head to toe
Woah
Why you so
Ice cold
Ice cold
Check ya vitals
Die slow
Am I on the right road
Ion know
Why you so ice cold
Ice cold

Check ya vitals
Die slow
Am I on the right road
Ion know
Why you so ice cold
Ice cold
You can’t iffy with yo decisions
We busy we on a mission
But I feel like something missing
Can only be so persistent
Can I really go the distance
It’s hard when you know what’s hidden
My mind move a mile a minute
I’m tryna find meaning in it
Im asking why every sentence
She won’t even let me finish
We all in a epidemic
The real niggas gone and missing
I mean I’m here but I’m feeling like Will when the show finished
I mean I been to the neck tryna handle my own business
It’s me in the flesh yeah down to the bone tissue
Pushing my own issue
Love you but I don’t miss you
And if these niggas sick then I’m the antidote
I could show you something you ain’t seen before
Keep it on the low yeah baby on the need to know
Life like a balance beam guillotine tightrope
Gotta stand strong for the things that you know gone bring food for the whole team
You know what I mean
Why you so
Ice cold
Ice cold
Check ya vitals
Die slow
Am I on the right road
Ion know
Why you so ice cold

Lost in the abyss
Tell me what it cost for me to not be in this shit
What could you really offer me to not be what it is
Tell me what we lost and I’ll find it in this bitch
It’s all timing like the wrist
We ain’t watching when we in it only when we reminisce
Hindsight 2020 and the limelight bliss
Yeah I might not know but I know my shit
And I owe my soul to the ones I miss
I ain’t on my own but sometimes
It feels like I’m alone
The sunshine can’t seem to find my home
And I feel a need to write my wrongs
So I breathe and bleed into these songs
And I know we free
But I don’t know
‘Cause why do my needs outweigh my wants?
And why can’t I be the way I want?
And why can’t I see what they saw?
What changed in me and what time was lost?
Who raised the price?
Who changed the cost?
We all exhausted baby
Turn me off
Turn me off
Long as time keep ticking
And the waves keep dipping
Baby ain’t no changing me
One time I was tryna be different
I was obviously trippin’
Playin’ games it was plain to see
And everybody can’t see what was hidden
Can’t breathe what we livin’
Can’t be who we came to be
So boy you better breathe for a minute
Everybody can’t see when we in it
Why you gotta attitude?
Who you speaking on?
Why you bring a bad mood to who was waiting on you?
Now you got that nigga mad cause you breathing wrong
I ain’t saying what to do but you better be cool
Baby I ain’t really mad but you did me wrong
I don’t want the bad news but you could tell me that too
Just talk to me
Walk with me baby come through
Spend time intertwined baby
What you wanna do?
I need to give my all to the booth
Not you
Girl I know I’m a star so it’s all overdue
Talking clothes and the cars and the cash jewels
And mansions and pools all designed for the few
But I can’t be a fool and I know what’s the truth
But I don’t know what to do
We all lost til we long in the tooth then poof
Lights out lifes gone don’t nobody miss you
Just play my shit when they ask who’s who
Like Basi made hits but he had loose screws
Like Basi made hits but he had loose screws
Long as time keep ticking
And the waves keep dipping
Baby ain’t no changing me
One time I was tryna be different
I was obviously trippin’
Playin’ games it was plain to see
And everybody can’t see what was hidden
Can’t breathe what we livin’
Can’t be who we came to be
So boy you better breathe for a minute
Everybody can’t see when we in it

But I don’t hate what you believe in cause my heart made gold
My arts the only thing that make me wanna bear this load
How far you wanna take it where you really dare to go
From head to toe I shine when the sun is low
She used to tell me all the time a long time ago
And now she hanging on the rhyme cause it was time to go
And I ain’t mean to blow yo mind and make you mine the most
Sometimes I wanna hit yo line just to see how it go
How do you know
When you ain’t never seen it before
It’s easy to cope
It’s harder to get to it and go
We decent at both
Welcome to the start of the show

I gave you my all
Now who you gon’ call?
How did it all fall
Where did I go wrong?
I waited too long
I know i'm too grown
What the fuck was I on?
This is the last song
I bent the back bone
I need to go home
This taking mad long
I’m smoking on strong
Please don’t run in the rain
Don’t handle the flame
You can’t handle the pain now
We all one and the same but im making a change and I’m doing my thing now
Please don’t run in the rain
Don’t handle the flame
You can’t handle the pain now
We all one and the same but I’m making a change and I’m doing my thing now
We started from a flame in the night
Tried to feign from the light but some things you can’t fight
Only go where I know in the night
I’m alright but I go through these lows in the flight
Tryna reach new heights
You know this life all rolls of the dice
I thought I told you I’m nice
Her eyes so inviting
Mind so enticing
We take the ride
And it’s so exciting
Love on arrival
Ain’t no describing
You drive me crazy
You my asylum
I’m dying daily
You tryna find him
Ima product of my environment
It was all up to you deciding it
We was losing time
And we was lost in silence
Tryna calm the violence
I was on a island
Almost lost the rhyming
What’s the cost of trying
Ain’t no love when the light is dying
I told her
Please don’t run in the rain
Don’t handle the flame
You can’t handle the pain now
We all one and the same but im making a change and I’m doing my thing now
Please don’t run in the rain
Don’t handle the flame
You can’t handle the pain now
We all one and the same but im making a change and I’m doing my thing now
God Bless whoever hating on me.
Under my nose you ain’t my on my team
What went wrong
We was family
Now I’m gone don’t worry ‘bout me.
How come how come
You try to X me like Malcolm
All these years let this be the outcome
Can’t fix ya lips to say I ain’t the realest you been with
How could you call me fake when i confront you on some real shit
All communication I’ve initiated
Can tell that you be quiet while inside you really hating
Dismissive with your attitude
I ain't mad at you
You say we are compatible
When you out of moves
Gaslighting
Manipulation
Pacifying
Grams dying
You didn’t say shit
I’m past lying
Sound of your fibs you pretend to be
I was down when you kicked
You ain’t kin I see
I gave you my all
Now who you gone call?
How did it all fall?
Where did I go wrong?
I waited too long
I know I'm too grown
What the fuck was I on?
This is the last song
I bent the back bone
I need to go home
This taking mad long
I’m smoking on strong
Please don’t run in the rain
Don’t handle the flame
You can’t handle the pain now
We all one and the same but im making a change and I’m doing my thing now
Please don’t run in the rain
Don’t handle the flame
You can’t handle the pain now
We all one and the same but I’m making a change and I’m doing my thing now
