Kill Or Be Killed 02:06

Kill or be killed too many times we call that life You get another lucky chance when God reroll your dice Start losing patience when you're working sleepless nights Probable cause and evidence I know my rights Kill or be killed too many times we call that life You get another lucky chance when God reroll your dice Start losing patience when you're working sleepless nights Probable cause and evidence I know my This attitude back to the old me Do it myself if nobody will show me Scared where I move cuz I studied the game And I'm not under oath So nobody will own me Not afraid of mistakes So I'm shooting my shot like the Lakers and Kobe Voice of an entourage G Unit and Obie Wanting revenge But two wrongs don't make it right You took his word he said he won't I know he might Can't be on tinder when you're looking for your wife She lowkey a ride or die I'm swiping right Road to success can be lonely Knowing your power you have to be nosey They'll speak too much if you listen I listened to everything they told me Self sufficient with ownership I'm the only person that owes me Didn't bite the bait Knew right away With everything they sold me Kill or be killed too many times we call that life You get another lucky chance when God reroll your dice Start losing patience when you're working sleepless nights Probable cause and evidence I know my rights

Helter Skelter 02:42

Helter skelter Like it's Charles Manson Written on the wall up inside a mansion Saw a ghost and I ain't even capping Taking cover it's getting drastic Helter skelter Like it's Charles Manson Written on the wall up inside a mansion Saw a ghost and I ain't even capping Taking cover it's getting drastic It's a war just like Vietnam On his knees bowing down praying to Allah Too much money in the system had to get me some Ain't no fun if the homies ain't having none Track suit get me several pair Count the heads of the gods and they still there I ain't going nowhere look I'm still here Imma go and get it I don't sit and stare Forever ballin had to make it clear Shot calling they ain't playing fair Never stalling gotta play the field Get left behind they don't really care Helter skelter Like it's Charles Manson Written on the wall up inside a mansion Saw a ghost and I ain't even capping Taking cover it's getting drastic Writing songs it come automatic Feed the urge kinda like an addict Not making sense When you add it Alpha Phi Alpha like Judge Mathis Alchemy but some call it magic Got lyrics written down stuffed inside a mattress Took years of dedicated practice But sometimes it's a darker habit Jack Sparrow you can call me captain Tom Cruise like the movie Maverick Don't ever let em catch you lacking Don't force anything if it ain't automatic Shoe collection imma buy me three Hit the streets to give it out for free Giving hope to homeless on the street I'm too genuine to charge a fee But I can switch if you give me heat Loyalty has always been the fee Like Jesus washing people's feet I am what I am so let it be Helter skelter Like it's Charles Manson Written on the wall up inside a mansion Saw a ghost and I ain't even capping Taking cover it's getting drastic Helter skelter Like it's Charles Manson Written on the wall up inside a mansion Saw a ghost and I ain't even capping Taking cover it's getting drastic

Sacrifices Made 04:05

I don't really have much written for this Imma just see where it goes for real Take it from there Yeah Appreciate the love and sacrifices made Even at my worst you always stayed the same Was scared to death when I stepped on stage Nervousness grew but recognition came I always think about that day People screaming applauding Don't know what to say Don't want to say too much so I'm giving thanks The best is yet to come just patiently wait So I'm giving thanks For your work to make brighter days Been around each other so long it feels safe Can tell your mood by the look on your face 50 seconds in I got a lot to say Can't rush greatness there's a time a place Goes around comes around im tryna keep the faith Subtle reminders when I forget to pray So I'm giving thanks You down for whatever I appreciate Im telling you now though it's a little late I had this on my mind so I have to say That I'm giving thanks You down for whatever I appreciate I'm telling you now though it's a little late Took a while to understand But I don't go astray Giving thanks I'm just giving thanks You know Prefer talking face to face But it's easier to find the words with the bass Once you hear this song I'm retouching base The music helps Guide me and mediate Soak in what the energy reverberates Dim the lights a little bit See what I create It's me vs me this is not a race Some view as a sport But that's another case Some do it for the thrill do it for the chase Some do it to be real do it to be fake Some do it for experience to turn a page I do it cuz my spirit tells me what to say Been writing forever like a thousand ways I can be the hero I don't need a cape We all deserve a chance for a higher place Just need to come together Cuz it's not a race Man forget tomorrow imma start today Let me feel the pressure Give me higher stakes Lead by example doing what it takes Million Man March at a steady pace To see intentions Look them in the face Can't rush greatness There's a time a place Goes around comes around I'm tryna keep the faith Might be a little late But I'm giving thanks I'm giving thanks You down for whatever I appreciate I'm telling you now though it's a little late I had this on my mind so I have to say That I'm giving thanks You down for whatever I appreciate I'm telling you now though it's a little late Took a while to understand But I don't go astray I'm giving thanks

Get Money Take Money 03:21

Yeah yeah yeah Get money money Take money money Lot of talking with no action don't mean nothing Never ending rat race we all running If money bring problems Let me get the money Get a mansion like Hugh Heffner where it's sunny Keep it lowkey with a Playboy Bunny Rather real life not a pin up Motivation every time I get up Downtown doing sit ups Not a competition but always got the mindset of a winna Drive up in a sprinter Rather own assets not renta We all make mistakes Listen Linda Nobody perfect as a sinna Rastafarian like I'm Skrilla Require loyalty if I buy you dinner Don't waste my time Money on my mind Preaching God but you can't control me I know the roots and the full story Introduce me as the one and only LyricalGenes Respect to ones before me Like a cult but we still holy Blood suckers if you watch closely Vampires stay in hiding mostly Blue eyes like Sugar Shane Mosley Southern hospitality we call it cozy Be yourself or be considered phony Careful with your words you don't even know me Do what's necessary is what I'm condoning Like a model in the mirror how she posing A&R lady work at Sony Yeah Learn about the business cuz I'm nosey Money power women Scarface and Tony I'll forever be immortalized Beat me up when I was young But time flies Now I say You should've seen the other guy An underdog movie getting people energized But this is not a story that you fantasize Its real life Where people die and mother's cry Where violence and doves fly Get away with anything on the money side Jurisdiction not guilty for a homicide Secret code but they think it's a gang sign Fear the gods so you go and get your K9 Take accountability cuz you can't blame mine You can shut me up the day pigs fly No sympathy and here's why Everybody taking turns on who should die Now it's my turn to leave you in the grave to rot (Get money money Take money money) I swear to God if I die Let my spirit live on to take everything that they took from us (Get money Take money) Once we get it back They're afraid we're going to do what they did to us (Get money money Take money money) Not one time in history does that reflect the freaking truth (Get money Take money) Except the influences that they have now Ha

Split Personality 04:00

I've got a split personality I'm sick I'm a mess I have deep conversations with the voices in my head They're my darkest of demons And my closest of friends I've got a split personality A split personality Rejected everything considered heinous But at the same time love what you think is dangerous Wait on your time Honestly I lost my patience Control the world like Rockefeller and the freemasons J Cole in crooked smile couldn't fix this with braces Think out the box or risk getting labeled as basic Allen Iverson without braids or Jordan without the laces Shock the world just to make it A gemini has two But I code switch like I got a thousand faces Some people hate it Some people think I'm amazing Some people love to hate it Some people love you until you make it out the basement Beat a dead horse until it's faceless That's why the criticism's so painless Not involved so you can't trace it From now on you remain nameless Oil money like Abu Dhabi in hidden places Crucifixion of Jesus Christ in different races Align chakras to the heavens in higher places Came back to earth reciting fibonacci sequence Control the minds of juvenile delinquents Won't listen to authority because it's too frequent I love it I hate it Please excuse the split personality that I'm faced with I've got a split personality I'm sick I'm a mess I have deep conversations with the voices in my head They're my darkest of demons And my closest of friends I've got a split personality A split personality What other topic should I bring up Scream and yelling on-stage is cheering me up Tell you a secret you better keep it between us Felt abandoned cuz pops just couldn't clean up That's why I do things no matter who's backing me up My homie what's up Major mistakes you constantly made at the front I ain't scared of what I'm 22 look you in the eye like What's up Think you angry I been through some pain too Taught myself With things I went through People say I act just like you Ain't that crazy when I don't even know you How would I be if I wasn't in this booth Congratulations you accomplished something to A side of me that I suppress just because of you I'm not crazy just a product of what you didn't do I've got a split personality I'm sick I'm a mess I have deep conversations with the voices in my head They're my darkest of demons And my closest of friends I've got a split personality A split personality

Honesty and Loyalty 03:23

Honesty and loyalty Seems like I lose when I ask So I gotta let it come to me Not too many things in life that I find comforting God makes us different But it feel like it's just only me Contemplate what I say can't speak too honestly Refuse to have a mindset stuck in poverty No pain no gain That's what they say Yeah But I been feeling ready for a minute now Rumble in the jungle Always ready for a hundred rounds Writing music when I'm in the house Cuz the clutter has been getting loud Madonna or Rihanna let me take a bow Feel adrenaline when I hear the crowd I kinda love it when they shout On cloud nine gotta simmer down Yeah Balancing life is like a tightrope We're the authors of our life come look what I wrote Take you out of body with the right flow The abilities of a maestro Moon walk on my haters like I'm Michael Criticism is a light blow You can be Goliath But imma fight though In the valley of death I'm the light though Gave up on many people don't let it be you I know the outcome no point in seeing it through Instead of beef I give distance So we can move Patience and being quiet is giving a clue Pay attention you're missing cue Stupid is stupid does it do what it do Target on your back when you're moving near it Build you up to tear you down Don't lose your spirits Only get so far Depending on your merits Push a boulder up a hill If you can bear it My only marriage seem to be this music It understands me and no matter what I can always use it Very therapeutic Your purpose is a feeling If it's not right Get the guts to change direction to what gives you life Life ain't promised Would you know you gave it everything If you were gone tonight Your purpose is a feeling If it's not right Get the guts to change direction to what gives you life Life ain't promised Would you know you gave it everything If you were gone tonight

Tense 04:27

Got a lot to say but I don't interject Like what's the point in talking Put the pen to rest Had to stop asking why just to get some rest I feel it in my bones this is not a guess This is not a test I feel it in my soul but I digress If you go by what your told and you go left You won't be no different Just another statistic preaching be different They don't care about you They treat you like my father when he up and left If we came in here alone what is loneliness We all get one shot you cannot miss You cannot He need money so he wanna spin the block That's a different world when the block hit He need it now he don't care what time is 16 but acting like he did time man He calling out to God but he ain't saying nothing He looking for a sign but he ain't seeing nothing So he rose to his feet he ain't scared of nothing Imma show em something Imma show em something Grab a Glock spin the block Imma get respect At least he getting something That's what he expect With respect comes the money and the freaking sex But he don't know about life he ain't lived it yet Unlock the door grab the keys to his mom's car She asleep she don't know that her son's gone Pull out the driveway Looking at his lawn This the last time we ever have to struggle ma He can promise that He can promise that he's gonna make a hundred racks Stack it up in a set and rebundle that He driving to the corner The first store he sees he gon search the border Coast clear go in Heart beating fast He a criminal now But he ain't thinking that He thinking 'bout the times That he always had Seen his mom cry Over a couple racks His little brother always asking where the heck is dad Section 8 Yeah he remember that Pull out the gun in his pocket on the right side Give me the cash he acting so desensitized The cashier sees the anger in the boys eyes But has to react fast so he grabs a nine Wait who shot who Cops pulling round They got Glocks too First person you see gets shot Ooww They rush inside see the blood on the ground A person running to the back dropped the gun on the ground Cops signal to follow that man I don't care what you gotta do Go get that man Cops bust open the back door They see the man get down get on the floor He refuse cuz he tryna escape Running for his life Try to jump over the gate Make it to the gate He begins to climb Shots fired another time Who is it? Who is it? He's not a threat now Walking closer to the body they can tell now That it's just a little kid laying on the ground The cop drop to his knees can't believe it now The boys' phone rings he gotta read it now Text from his mom saying good morning Wow Who gon tell his family Who gon tell the news Who gon tell his family We can't tell the news Go and lie about it Nobody will know if you keep it silent Some people have no choice so resort to violence Couldn't call for help They think he's mindless If he called for help These people spineless It's a shame that I even need to remind ya Lately I been feeling tense Thinking bout some better days and events Is peace only found in eternal rest Nothing more can you do than to give your best I feel trapped but people call it a quest I see life for what it is nothing more nothing less Lately I been feeling tense Hey man Listen I don't know what's going on with you right now But I just got a phone call from your mom And she seems really really freaked out about you right now And I didn't know what to tell her I mean I know we just had this conversation a few days ago And I know you're going through something But whatever you're doing This is not the way to go about it man Uh just give me a call back when you get a chance Peace

The God Flow 02:13
lyrics

I'm far from satisfied That's why I need a little bit more Yeah Lemme break it down This the God flow Learn some teach some what do I know Look left look right where do I go This real life it is not show Come alive at night like a freak show Get seats sold when you come and see me though Imma different breed yo As good as it gets Not one not two but three goats Sing songs like do re mi fa so la ti do Crunch time better make all free throws Be nothing less than a hero Okay? Get pesos Need guap on top of queso Get paid for lines fuego Always from songs that I wrote For each flow But you know Scream every word from my throat Pen and paper my notes Some fall for traps I don't Illuminate thoughts like the Vatican Pope Check artifacts they storing in rome Sphinx in Egypt cut off the nose And hope some don't know I'll have you know Trust you as far as I can throw Speak nonsense in a microphone I'm one man but dont work alone No This the God Flow I'm far from satisfied That's why I need a little bit more Lemme break it down Hold up Yeah This the God flow Can't take everybody in the catacombs Not playing games eeny miny moe If anybody holler let em go I'm coming back bitter than ever Based on talent I'd be in the Himalayas with every endeavor They lost my respect forever Middle finger is the gesture Not a fan you a heckler Our relationship severed Coming back that's a never Never You got that
