INTRO Faballistic A.K.A Fabal. First off I just want to thank you for giving me the chance to give you a glimpse into my mind. So this is it…this is what an epiphany feels like. This is what realization looks like! I heard a song last night that woke me in the morning. That song had no voice other than my own! And I understand now the difference between fantasy and strategy; I understand now the difference between dreaming and planning. I knew who I was before I just…didn’t know how important I was until I heard that very song. It was unreal, unwritten, and unrecorded. It has been waiting for me to bring it to life. So this is it: ‘Believe in Me’. Okay…yeah! VERSE Right when my life Had just finally begun; From the days I’d crawl I thought I’d be grown enough to run; it’s done! The hour glass empties And time has won; Guilty or innocent, time spent has no refund; Thought my nightmares And night terrors were gone; Then I wake up to the earthquake, The worst quake’s to come; In worst case, when we’re faced With the wrath of Judgement; Which ways or phrase had I Spread from the word? None of it; So as the birds drop And fish rise to the top; And the Japanese eat the bodies Tsunami waves left to rot; I seek to readdress, my quest Before I’m put to rest; And enjoy what’s left On Earth before our carelessness; manifests It’s scary! Thinking how far them waves carry; Fault lines tearing! The gravity of the situation is overbearing I’ve gotten buried; The Earth isn’t like God at all There is NO sparing; Thinking crazy, Can religion save me?! Hey Christian girl! Let’s get married; Nowhere else for us to run No flights, boats swiped No fight; If the mountains crumble You can stand me and hold tight; And we’ll listen to ‘Pac, Then sit to watch, as the world’s dying; And get to say, “Hey, We lived ‘til the end of time.” OUTRO [Fade out]

INTRO Alright I gotta do this—gotta do this in one take. God dammit. (laughs) Uh… VERSE Who am I? Identity is a tricky thing; Waited so long to pop off Like an old sticky ring; Blowin up, detonated After years of triggering; I’m an acquired taste So those who hate: keep bickering; It’s been a few years Since I’ve felt so ‘awake’; We spend too much time dreamin’ Not enough trying to make; Those dreams come true, Jump through. And out the matrix sleep; Not fatalistic but I believe my fate is deep; Eyes opened, some things Will never look the same to me; I aim to be, famously, Known to where I’m like, “Hey! It’s me!” Unsure how this came to be I can set the bar now; My family doesn’t have to Grow apart now; my cards down No bluffs… I play my best hand; Girl I can’t be your groom But I’ll always be your best man; Rest assured… I will ‘rest’ no more; There’s no pressure Or goin’ back so I go forth; Can’t be stopped Hold my ground no need to be propped; I ain’t screwin around either so no need to be chopped; The time’s ticking down I don’t need to get clocked; I’ve been blocked, forgot, Forget mocked; Kid Rock Said it best; My sound may be musical suicide; That’s where YOU decide If Hip Hop’s savior’s crucified; This is do or die To be true or lie; I’ll just be ME Think you know? Please do remind. BREAK 1 Yo VERSE 2 Now I’m back for seconds Not talkin’ about dining; Can’t eat food cause I’m so Hungry for more rhyming; I cannot recall, The last time I ate; I’m to the point where I can’t finish my plate; Trade a master FEAST, For a masterPIECE as my meal; Need my pen and paper Like my ‘sword’ and my ‘shield’; How can I be calm? When I rhyme so outrageous; I’m never one to brag but how could you out play this? I’m gone with the flow But it’s ours to keep; You can try to catch up But it’s like hours of sleep; If I were to reach the stars Will you be watchin’? If I never outshine the sun Will you be applaudin’?! I’m ‘all in’ like D. Rose, These rows, of seats filled; My mind sees them sold Hip Hop gets rebuilt; Mind mixin’ like concret But thoughts crystal clear; The life I’ve been dyin’ Fightin’ for is still near; My future’s like a child I take care of my legacy; And I don’t give no f##k Like I’m sworn to celibacy; This life is bigger than you This life is bigger than me; Instead of trying to cheat it Just be the biggest you can 'be'.

INTRO I know what you’re thinking…why THIS instrumental right? ‘Cause it perfectly helps illustrate all I have left…my life. HOOK In my life, (repeat) I’m barely living now (repeat) You don’t know? You can’t care; So don’t play… Like you’re there; It’s my life, it’s mine, It’s all I got now (repeat) VERSE My life isn’t far From your own; in fact! I wouldn’t be surprised If identical like a clone; Born within an audience Dead before closed eyes; Then saluted to the skies No escapin’ your demise; The end… Comes at unexpected times! So live your lives, Like life defies; Death! Within his routine; Forever hold dear Lessons learned results you’ve seen; Like they do mean; something! Like you don’t care When the ol’ reapers comin’; Like the soul keeper’s frontin’; My life isn’t bullshit… I try to stay clean I keep true without a clue Of how to stay keen; Cause life is but a dream; Floatin’ down rapids And I’m sittin laughin; Not carin’ what happens Since I’m just chillin’ rappin’; Almost died twice Watched three brothers go; What a mournful life Which still recovers slow; In my welfare… I can’t afford a better one; It’s all I have ‘til my unemployment letter comes; Look at my reflection Remember where I came from; Age ain’t a number It’s a price, life’s paid from; Made some mistakes Afraid of disgrace; Never fear man But always love women; Forever bow to God Even after I’m livin’; And that’s IF I’m given The holy Lord’s grant; A second chance, But for now I’ll rant; now I’ll chant My life is ‘this’ My life is ‘that’; My life IS All I have. HOOK 2 In my life, (repeat) I’m barely working now (repeat) I don’t go? The cash stays; But can’t wait… For small pay; It’s my life, it’s mine, It’s all I got now (repeat) VERSE 2 My life isn’t far From becomin’ recognized; Not yet an enterprise But never commercialized; Once had a vision From the slump I had risen; rap! Game no longer different And its map had my position; Not yet come true! Maybe ‘cause of new; age Kind of criticism… Hip Hop lost its wisdom?! If I’ve never been to prison Would you still listen?! What if I was shot, Would that reach your ears? If that bullet killed me Would my memory smear?! Flow out through tears? Or jump start my career?! My life is unknown ‘Til I punch it in at work; Rap in a verse, Otherwise it’s pretty worth; less! I’m not the worst And yet I’m not the best; Put myself to the test! To earn ya’ll respect; Because behind the laughs Resides all the wrath; Trying to retract Through all of these tracks; Yo my life is my term And I’m its definition; My mind is my Earth Success holds its condition. HOOK 3 In my life, (repeats) I’m really living now (repeat) I don’t flow? You won’t see; My fate… And my destiny; Oooh my destiny, It’s all I got now (repeat) (Repeat)

INTRO And they say! VERSE It’s the way we rock Once the beat drops; keep watch As we box, YOU Into a beatbox of free thoughts; And I restock, my shelf With victory; Leave misery Interweave, rhyme and energy; Enter me! Never leave! Sever and savor my; Entity, like NBC I’m broadcasting live; It’s the way we Hip Hop Over these haters; Like a juggernaut astronaut Over these craters; It’s the way debate To resuscitate; Their low grade of skills No way to reach my mind state; like Chi-Town, My town, you can’t take down lightly; Like me, it’s backed By my brown brothers behind me; It’s the way I text your chick Make your same promises; Problem is: I keep em! So she’ll text me while you’re sleepin’; “If I had you baby, You wouldn’t know the meanin’; Of a bad time, that’s why I stay treatin’!” I stay ballistic in my rhymes In my eyes; I Faballistic can vibe In high rise; It’s the way I free write My brain commands the ink; To my pen from my head I blink And I’ve written everything. HOOK It’s my flow and I! (Repeat) Just my flow and I! It’s my flow and I! VERSE 2 It’s the way, it’s the hype I’m the type for which; You waited your whole life For your taste in rap to enrich; I’ve got phenomenal, comical An arsenal of rhymes; Like food for the soul Prepared for your mind to dine fine; Eat my words! Here comes the airplane; Flight 93 In your brain’s airwaves; I’m vomittin common sense All over these incompetents; Time and time again They return as my audience; Squeezin’ out thoughts! Like my mind’s full of condiments; Compliments of the chef! I’ll roar ‘til they’re deaf In depth, like debt; Indefinite speech of reason Breathe in breathe out; I’ll run out of air Before I run out of sound; Ha! Did you get that down? My tracks are my journals I compose year round; So fans play them twice! And then play them loud; It’s the way I’ll live forever Through word of mouth. Aaaahhh. HOOK 2 It’s my flow and I! (Repeat) Just my flow and I! It’s my flow and I! And they say! VERSE 3 It’s the way I make your face And your head whiplash; dig fast, break hard. Then hit gas, sit back; Like Sinbad I’m your house guest From the southwest, Cali! I’m the coolest cat around Ha! O’Malley; Oh darlin’ Who you be gettin’ in the car wit’?! Same dude you spar wit’? Hard to, stay apart when; You trapped and slapped in the same damn apartment tough loving when your hubby treats you like a harlot, start the; packing quit slacking; throw them bags in my backseat; It’s the way I keep you safe With the right words; Make the adverse, reverse With the right verse; It’s the way my rhymes and I Keep forged, we morph; And I spit a flow, I’ve never known I could before; Through this mic I’ll record My soul’s within the keyboard; Keep course. Show no remorse Through these tracks I’m reborn; Play this back like a re-rack And I’m restored! Uh! HOOK 3 It’s my flow and I! (Repeat) Just my flow and I! It’s my flow and I! OUTRO Faballistic One! Believe in Me!

VERSE Yo listen up Receive all of which I speak; It’s about a girl Over who I’d lose sleep; “Who’s she?” you ask, I can’t describe her loosely; She treated me so good Then ended me so cruelly; you see She was like a princess locked far, far away; And I’d battle her dragons, At least a hundred times a day; Like the prince of her dreams I’d be there when she’d awake; She was like an angel God sent her mom to raise; And her face puts the image Of ‘perfect’ to shame; But she’s a storm cloud I was trapped in her range. BREAK VERSE 2 She’s into me Closer than any of my enemies; Spending weeks, re-rendering… Remembering; I’m dying and inside I’m rotting; She’s venom, bent on Poisoning my body; If beauty could kill, Then consider her a death threat; She’s a mutant storm With all of her X-Men; Went from best friends To becoming nothing less than; yet an- Other rejection So unprecedented; No one! I repeat! No one told me about; This woman being The disguise for a storm cloud; I’m scorned now I hurt then hurt and hurt; I’ve been warned before But never ‘about her’. BREAK 2 VERSE 3 I wasn’t her first And I won’t be her last! Missin’ that treasure Though to her I was just trash!! They say ya never know What you got until you lost it; I knew it all along I just don’t know what had caused it; You’d figure she, lingering Into me, would be gone by now; But her memory, centering Entering, still invades somehow; And I only ask myself “Was she only usin’ me? Did she know what we had? Was she slowly losin’ me?!” Stupid me! Waited for to run to ME; Stupidly Waited for her company; Why should I care now? Why go and search?! Maybe ‘cause the longer I wait The more it hurts!! And I was warned before About endless lies; But never about her The storm in disguise. OUTRO Cut it…

INTRO Uh! (singing) That’s the way it goes…my baby. Yo! VERSE I lost the love of my life And now I’m losin’ my mind; She was so unique And now harder to find; Yo I could go and search But time keeps freezin’; I always gain ‘bad’ lose ‘good’ God’s teasin’; I stopped to pump gas And my card was cashed out; Already lost my job How to afford gas now?! Electric or water Which to pay first? Hard to decide With no green papers! Hit my friends up ‘cause now I need some h*es; But we don’t do shit No ideas to propose; No doe, no joke, No sluts, just us; Could be even worse Or the best just sucks; My thoughts are empty Like my brain’s leaking; Can’t tell the truth from a lie Each time, I try speaking; Every thought’s stalled; I’m laid with limbs sprawled And a hemorrhage is called; Do I need to adjust Or adjusted too much? When my love returns I’ll be with my new crush; no Educated guess It’s my life’s luck; If today’s the first of the rest Well then I’m f*cked; Why bother getting laid If life f*cks me?! Life gives YOU lemons? It hands me nothing; So enjoy your juice I hope it’s pulp free; Depression’s addictive My beer has engulfed ME; I’ll wait for life To turn away its back; So when my day shines That’s when I’ll attack; And I Ain’t out of wack That’s the damn plan! When life hits me hard I hit back like a man. HOOK That’s the way it goes My baby; Just the way it goes Life’s crazy; And I don’t really know Where life takes me But that’s the way it goes Life lately; It keeps playing tricks on me; BRIDGE (La la la) VERSE 2 I’ve lost most of my friends Ain’t nothin’ new ‘bout that; Same sh*t, different day Spinnin’ way, too fast to catch; But it’s a day That we all have; For me it’s way too often To be so lost in; I try not to make My night similar; But as I look around It’s too familiar; I’m stuck in a rut Trynna dig myself out; I’ll pour the liquor And await my next round; A.A. ain’t too late ‘cause it’s too early; I contemplate as I awake Sipping one serving; Just another day Which never starts right; Can’t concentrate Or stay in the right frame of mind; I’m sitting here blind; And I’m thinking ‘bout the one Who’s still hard to find; Who am I today? I don’t think I wanna know; The more I try to leave The more I won’t go; I know it sounds dumb But to me it makes sense; To me, ya the joke You go and tell all ya friends; Everyone seems grown I must be getting older; Bartender hit me! Take the shot like a soldier; I’ll propose a toast! Another ‘dumb’ thing; Celebrate life today And make it mean something; I took the day slow So I’ll live the night fast; And I’ll only leave drunk If I have the cash; To call a damn cab Otherwise I’ll pass; If death don’t cover tabs Then death can kiss my ass; Life will always try To leave and keep me trapped; The jokes on both I’ll find another path. HOOK 2 That’s the way it goes My baby; Just the way it goes Life’s crazy; And I don’t really know Where life takes me But that’s the way it goes Life lately; It keeps playing tricks on me;

INTRO (Phone call skit) (Tory Law) “Hello?” “Hey it’s me.” “Yo what’s goin’ on Fabal’ where you at wit it?” “Actually uh, I’ve got some good news bro. I’ve—I’ve decided to come back. After last month—“ (laughs) “Word?” “…yeah after last month I was there, I realized man that…honestly man that’s—that’s where I belong man I belong there with you guys—I mean that’s if the invitation to KND is still open.” “Sh*t well you know there’s always been a slot open for you man. Where you at though, where you at right now? “Sh*t, I’m on my way home.” INTRO 2 Faballistic One! Tory Law! I’m comin’ back! The mistake was leavin’ in the first place…’cause this is my stage! (laughs) So… VERSE I guess I’m up in five Feels great to be alive; My strive amplified Since that place I left behind; The city of lights So pretty she’s like; the type That’ll shoot you down While you’re in mid-flight; At night what a sight! Her beauty’s undisputable; Yet within, her heart’s closed in Like a cubicle; Look beyond your naked eye It can’t be viewed in full; Her heart strings’ too high For you to pull; Aurora has driven me out Like I’M somethin’ scary; When she’s callin’ my name I won’t come like Bloody Mary; Won’t be fooled again Point me where the wind blows; Even if that means never comin’ back like disco; Destiny…thought to be true Revealed itself smaller; My true calling I ignored, Like a private caller; Now I’ve picked up the slack Started pack, turned my back; If my people notice, they’ll know it’s The only choice I had; As easy as leaving those Locked up for pushing that grass; I leave behind my guys Locked in the same p*ssy and ass; I’ve escaped Ill state, And I’m never gonna stop; Cali holds my spotlight now Time to show ya’ll what I got; let’s go! HOOK A new state A new plan; It feels so good To be back yeah; Seen the errors Of my ways; But things are clearer For me today; (Faballistic) thought I! Found where I belong But that was right here all along; It’s a new day A new zone; It feels so good to be; home! VERSE 2 (Tory Law's Lyrics N/A) HOOK 2 A new state A new plan; It feels so good To be back yeah; Seen the errors Of my ways; But things are clearer For me today; Found where I belong But that was right here all along; It’s a new day A new zone; It feels so good to be; home!

INTRO (Angelie singing) Broken pieces Of my heart attach when you, Touch me! Touch me! Touch me; All day I can’t stop Thinkin’ about us, Touching! Touching! Touching! You be droppin’ me, Rockin’ me beatin’ it so hard, say you Love me! Love me! Love me! When alone I check my phone And hope I see, Something! Something! Something! Feelin sexy! Baby text me, Come and get me, do not let me, Down down down…. VERSE Wakin’ up alone But that’s how we keep it; When you decide to stay It’ll stay a secret; No one needs to know You don’t need to go; Why I hold tight at night From head to toe; From ‘wet’ to cold So tighter I hold; Bodies heatin’ up Quicker than coal; so Sorry I haven’t texted I just haven’t rested; Haven’t been myself On some possessed sh*t; Hope you get thiss message And I really hope you catch it; Lonely now, hold me down, So I don’t feel neglected; Know you ain’t a h*e That’s why I keep ya close; So don’t trip baby When I’m pullin’ off your clothes; When we shut our eyes Just lay and sleep; I feel lifted Defying gravity; Fastening my hand In between your thighs; My favorite moment? Seein’ you at sunrise, sometimes. HOOK Just be my secret! Be my…Lover, lover, lover ; Be my secret! Be my…Lover, lover, be my… Secret lover, secret lover, Secret lover, secret lover secret! Lover… VERSE 2 I can feel you breathin’ Both hearts beatin’; It’s a steady feelin’ And I’m already dreamin’; Now I feel ya leavin’ Both eyes peepin’; Alarm ringin’, bringin’ An end to our meetin’; (singing) We’ve loved before… But this is so real I can’t ignore Dominate me… (Faballistic) I’m your secret lover Every night and weekend; ‘Don’t go any further’ That was the agreement; Nicknames are fine But please don’t label us; We higher than that Like the nebulas; No possession, second guessin and no title; Swear on your heart Like it’s the bible; I’ll be there for you You be there for me; And if we got each other That’s all we’ll ever need. HOOK 2 Just be my secret! Be my…Lover, lover, lover ; Be my secret! Be my…Lover, lover, be my… Secret lover, secret lover, Secret lover, secret lover secret! Lover… (Repeat)

VERSE Victory is mine As I leave behind; That scar tissue issue I had been through, arms high; Aimed toward the sky I’m feelin’ the tiger’s eye; Havin’ a good time No need to get deep though; My people, keep yo Tivo, programmed on me so; You can all watch and witness The risen, underdog; From the ‘storm’ drain And since the thunder’s gone; You could wonder on and on How I lucked out; But you’d be trapped in thought Far after sundown; Come out come on! It’s my celebration; The occasion is the fascination Of my life’s appreciation; Never lookin’ down Now that life’s lookin’ up; New highs cookin’ up New life hookin’ up; With my ‘new crush’; Victory is mine ‘Bout time I grew up; No more land mines; Watch my hands rise. BREAK In celebration… (Repeats) VERSE 2 Somethin’ must be up! I’ve made it so far; Comin’ from a slump! A family ripped apart; Runnin’ from the start, Hard decisions ‘smart’; Like jagged-edged shards Comin’ from the heart; Thought! They were sorry Now know they aren’t; Resurrected truce, that used To be between; Livin’ and dyin’, my alliance Is with my new team; Born again like a Christian, Fixed like a misprint; My life’s mission? To live the life I’ve been missin’; That’s my new philosophy And my new psychology; And man it’s gotta be Turned into a policy; I’m feelin’ more promising Than a damn prodigy; Life’s taken lots and lots And lots out of me; If George was still here? He’d be so proud of me; Probably… God took the time to remodel me; I stand a chance, And for that I’ll dance. OUTRO In Celebration…

HOOK Quest for trust My Quest for trust! Request my trust? Your request I must!! Deny..in my… Quest. For. Trust! (Repeat) VERSE The places I go And the people I meet; No clue how many miles Have crossed my feet; Because I’m so discreet And live in disbelief; My trust is gone Just like these streets; At night I plead For God to wipe my slate clean; To wash my feet, because they bleed From all the miles I’ve seen; No feedback! It’s only God’s mercy, I truly need bad! And truly mean that!! But why should HE Trust me or bless me; If I gave no trust Maybe he’s tryin’ to test me?! Please. Just. Leave me in arrest; Eternal sleep over greed I’d request; I’ve gone too far North and East, South and West; I beg in return For an end to my quest; This ain’t life! So I for one choose death; There’s no air So I can’t hold my breath; I’ve done so much against God Whom do I turn to? My trust burned out! I’m so easy to burn through; The places I’ve gone The people I’ve met; The miles I’ve traveled I’ll never forget. In my! HOOK 2 Quest for trust My Quest for trust! Request my trust? Your request I must!! Deny..in my… Quest. For. Trust! (Repeat) VERSE 2 This quest is mine! You can’t add to this mileage; I’m up and away You’re on the ‘no fly’ list; Time is not timeless Like mine is; Forever I wander In search fro the honest; Religion had given me Criticism, I started; To position, my wisdom As a defense mechanism; To pardon me, ‘cause a part of me; Is too far to see; To look within! Where do I begin?! Who can I trust? That’s my question; Promise me honesty That’s for your discretion; I hold so much back But that’s for my protection; Once I lash out! There’s no refreshin’; Betray my trust You get me hellbent; Nothing fixes that mistake No spellcheck; I’ve given my best And I’ve proven my trust; I’m on this path, to dispatch My crutch; I’ve seen it myself! Loyalty is royalty; Even the most vicious Of riches couldn’t spoil me; You can try, but your lies Won’t break me; My quest for trust Let’s see where it’ll take me. HOOK 3 Quest for trust My Quest for trust! Request my trust? Your request I must!! Deny..in my… Quest. For. Trust! (Repeat)

VERSE Liberated… Got inspiration and my plans configured; Life will knock me down But I’ll recover a lot quicker; Feeling so ready There’s nothing I’m regretting; I’ve turned away from the drama And from the disrespecting; My foes wanna drown in a pool of lies It’s fine with me; Once they get crackin’ I would already have a dynasty; It’s nice to see, finally! How REAL my smiles look; Not even phased from what All the denial took; Honestly to me, It doesn’t feel like I lose friends; I say what I feel And cut off the loose ends; Who says, I need ‘em? True friends, won’t be them; Cruisin’ but not leavin Groovin’ to this freedom; Was weakened but now wreakin’ Havoc, jammin’ like traffic; I’m keepin’ at it, ‘F’ the stress YA’LL can have it; Haven’t felt so relieved at ease No more fatigue; Cool like an autumn breeze Pleased to see what I’ve achieved; It’s finished… Still I haven’t stopped yet; This was ‘Believe in Me’ ‘Follow My Lead’ is my next project.
