HOOK 1
I never had it easy,
But the way that this crowd sees me;
It's so new...
So...
Unaware what I've been through...
what defines me?
What's my definition?! The
real recognize me
So the realest gonna listen!!
I never had it easy,
But the way this crowd receives me;
It's so new...
So...
Unaware what I've been through;
Bands on their wrist!
All show love!!
Hands in a fist!
All thrown up!!
For me...
Now...
They all shoutin' Faballistic!
VERSE
Desperation
Has strengthened me;
Entertainment's
reshapin' me;
Destinations
Have taken me;
Center stage n
I'm patiently;
No! Anxiously!
Awaitin' these;
Strangers in the crowd
to sanction me;
Trippin on what they think
Was the ancient me;
I gave up reachin' for appreciation keep; on
Hating me, shaming me imitating me, Parading me, All willy nilly really
It's all the same to me;
Young success,
Will Young death follow after?
'Stay positive'
Sounds like a hollow answer;
After bein' abused
By many life lessons;
Ain't feeling blessed
til the strife lessens;
Its presence...grows
more intensively;
Who will I become?
I barely know the present me;
Defined by my world of word craft; SurPASSED
the High ranks
Where my punchline nerds at?!
(Y'all been patient!
For this invasion!
Real artists missin'
Like them Malaysian;
Planes!..)
Wasn't born with the glory;
Still Harder than ME
Watchin' porn with a story;
Let THAT Infiltrate
Your subconscious;
Upload my content to become
Your top ten;
Skip through non sense
Like your baby mom's text;
Cast a shadow bigger than
Keenan Thompson's;
(What defines me?!)
mixin' truth n rhythm;
Within euphemisms,
Givin' you the visions;
That I've been seeding wit
While Competing in being an immediate,
disobedient media medium;
For Hip Hop's spirit…when
I spit hot lyrics;
Haters goin' hate cause
They did not hear it. Ooo!!!

VERSE 2 (my)
flow is ready, turnt
its Coldest setting;
All those petty no shows
So upsetting;
I've got dreams to remember
Otis Redding; I can't
let go, I won't be a
Hopeless dead beat; All
I got is strength! Faith's My
only sentry;
Called Eccentric, but I feel my
Boldness mending;Wit my
focus ending, all the
Protest in me;
Give me fame, Tour dates, I will
Own this blessing; cause
I have this damn hunger…
That Grows n grows in me;
even the homeless,
Won't condone this living;
Unto me!
God Showered talents;
Dumped shit on my life
just to counter balance;
constantly Tossing me through
Attrocities From a high velocity;
Then displays generosity
Acquitting all animosity
I may of had...possibly
Eh...That's my philosophy.
He's the only boss of me
Any mortal crossin me;
Slap ya smiley face
With a fat ass apostrophe;
Stay Soul
That's my comradery;
Ya know we gotta be
Makin' mockeries;
Outta ya'll who can't rap
Let alone how to read;
Your esteem's robbery
I'll be God fathering;
mail you the head
Of your high horse;
I already Hear your accolades toppl-ling
What defines me?
I don't need a promise ring;
I've been engaged
To be the hottest thing;
This Hip Hop Game
Will Make an honest man outta me;
If I gotta better chance
Winning lotteries;
Good...
I'm only in it for the honor B
-ITCH!!!
Ignore the astrology;
this is the year
Of FABALLISTIC;
Turn me up
I'm hear to rape ya System!!
Ahh!!!

HOOK
If you got
The endurance
Here's your spot
Come secure it
Meet me at the after party
(Repeats line)
We goin' rock this
Bitch til sunrise! (Repeat)
VERSE
I was like…
What's a comfort zone?
Immunity, soon to be,
Tested by some-flirt's own;
Peep…THIS
Version of my confidence;
She's Trembling, like a
Virgin in my dominance;
I'm the fix,
To all the daily drama;
Cliche she say
She's a single baby mama;
Life's a Soap,
'All my children;
This that, his dad,
Swear I could kill him';
Tired of the games?
I'm tired of the chase;
let's skip this phase,
N find a quiet place;
'Can I trust you?'
You must boo…come through;
Swear there aren't hoops
for you, to jump through;
'I came wit some friends
Where we runnin' to?'
Call em all
call em all
cause they comin' too!
(Venice Beach navigatin'
Where we gravitatin';
Promise baby girl
You'll be glad-you-came-N.)
HOOK 2
VERSE 2
My liver's out the picture
As I Down this pitcher quicker;
Than a stripper's knickers
And her biggest tipper's zipper;
My chick's friend keeps Naggin' me,
Wit excessive profanity;
Havin' me teeter-totterin'
On the edge of insanity;
"What's the cooler…
Under this fuckin' canopy got??";
Think she can manage me, HA!
Jessica Rabbit she's not;
Still I'm Grabbin' these shots,
Cause ma I have wit me's hot;
That ass I practically got,
Wit My sense of gravity shot;
Leave your friends wit mine
Let's grab a blanket n stroll;
Down toward the sea
And see who loses control;
In this escapade, I'm Nonchalant,
As I lift them legs;
...Then get between, N clean
the wet mess I made; gimme that!
Get in it Giggity style
While it's just a taste;
Her body squirmin'
Like she just been tazed;
Creepin' up that dress
Like the risin' tide;
Make love on this shore line
Til it's rise n shine. So…

(Music Fades In)
VERSE 1
Dear George,
Days like today are so quick;
Its like yesterday
We missed our bus n broke in;
To our high school
On my first day man it was so sick;
Been over a decade
And I burned through it unnoticed;
Noelani's an adult,
...and so's Chris;
You should see Vivi and Josh, God they're so big;
Me? Still no chick
And luckily Still No kids;
I'm doing music now
Helps me feel less hopeless;
Fulfilling your prophecy,
3 projects out of me; Proud of me?
Wish you were here to see all uh these
Hip Hop fans crowdin' me;
A Town would be, so different
If you were still around wit me;
Your body may be sound asleep,
In heaven we're bound to meet;
Once more...Inside I've been hesitant, to try;
writing you letters,
To which I know you won't reply; N I
Don't even know
How to finish em; pray to God
"Let Georgie know, his little bro misses him."
HOOK
Wish you stayed home that night
Not left alone to fight
I'd gladly take...that. Pain... from you;
Wish they could have murdered me
I've Said a lot of hurtful things
I really wish...I. said...I loved you;
VERSE 2
Man George,
We all miss you n show it often;
Even after life you've got girls
Now you just showin' off man;
Things have changed
we've surpassed the walkman;
N flip phones, get this bro,
They're kinda combined now it's awesome!
Apple or android...
Funny to wonder which;
You would have chosen or broken first
These thoughts are comfortin';
On a sub conscience level
Mom just settled, her beef with Alex
You could say they're new bond is special;
Three new nephews, nieces! Even
Julio's got one more;
on the way, I'm sad they
Won't get to play wit Uncle George;
But who knows
Most our family don't even talk;
Your funeral was the last place
I got to see them all;
At the same time, pride's
Too big a size to swallow;
If you were still alive maybe
There'd be no bullshit to follow;
Mom's changed...
Everyone's impatient with her;
Except me...cause I
feel that same pain within her.
HOOK
Mommy outlived her son
Family can't live as one
I'd gladly take their. Pain...from you
Wish they all would be...
Done saying awful things
Wish they'd recall...they. all...loved you;
VERSE 3
I'm so different...
I guess In comparison;
To the brother you once knew
...it's embarrassin';
I'm nowhere near
The man you bragged about n prophesized;
I'm a loner for starters,
A martyr whose lost his pride;
I make this music
For all walks in life;
Been from here to there
Swear my name's Been Tossed aside;
Talks behind my back
Are loud but can be ignored;
This course would never be explored
If it weren't for you George!
How can I fuckin' focus?!
I'll never ever get to show this;
To you, No postponin' or slowin'
I'm goin' but knowin'; You'll only,
be observing,
Makes it all feel less deserving;
Is how I'm curving these feelings of hurting, concerning?
Maybe...
but my feet aren't turning,
I'd have to die early
...atop a gurney;
No matter the tourney
Keep my rhymes as burly
As the reoccurring;
Flurry of Struggles
I'm enduring
Just wish you were Here...
During This journey.

INTRO
Recollection...
In my 25 years...
Through the losses
I found myself.
My struggle is nothing special...
But Knowing how far I've come from it,
Would I change a thing?
This is the hardship...
This is where it started...
VERSE 1
Born to finish last,
But Kept fightin' for first n;
The girls in his class
Were no longer virgins;
Raised by a single mom
So he Thought he knew for certain;
What was wanted from his girlfriends,
And so the person;
He tried to be…reversed when,
All These girls preferred them;
Vermins, determined, to Fuck
then discard those girls when;
His heart had bursted,
He pushed his pen submerged in;
Tears from years of hurtin'
learnin' to express his sermons;
Brother became a gangsta
Mother became a burden;
Behind closed doors,
his bro's whore's disturbed him;
Seen Clearer than binoculars
debacherous perversion;
Mom's locked in her room
in her drug filled Excursion;
As That Chapter ended
Began his master plan;
Dreamt of bein' signed,
Into Aftermath; after that
Possess! what all the
Greatest rappers had;
Get in to, His new
California bachelor pad;
With a nice beach view
A door man who greets you;
It's all a dream to, Him
til he can breach through!
HOOK (Kimmi Wolf)
The Hardship!
(Baby don't you cry...
Don't give up on life...)
VERSE 2
Early December,
he remembers the cold blooded;
Execution, his brother suffered
One of his own done it;
Cries atop the coffin
Lost n his soul's flooded;
With a vengeance n penance
None of the responsible punished
…Survivor's guilt
How his cypher's built;
Damn he's rhymin' ill
He's his own writer's guild;
But News Writers filled
White America's psychology;
Callin' his race
the economy's anomaly;
His new home state
He stayed wit clenched fists;
…girls he'd french kiss
Scratched off his friends list;
Gauge of trust on empty
No one worthy bing friends with;
'Cept a young producer Who refused ta leave him friendless;
…Years pass
Still ain't meetin' friends;
Hates comin' home…
He's Barely meetin' ends;
He's lost it all
He-needs papers n pens;
Vortexed In his
CD player again;
All His Adrenaline
N fury Coincide;
He's drillin' in!
To his open mind, goes inside!
HOOK 2 (Kimmi Wolf)
The Hardship!
(Lay your weary head...
Your journey's coming to an end...)
VERSE 3
While y'all sweat the petty
I'm fretting my next source of income;
Wisdom's food for thought
food I bought of course there is none;
Courts n prisons
Hammer down daily trying to nail me;
One minor slip up, I get cuffed,
Rip up, letters ya better mail me;
…The system failed me…
But I don't mind the Shawshank;
shark tank Just sharp shanks
Sharpened to impale me;
This ain't no sob story
Cause nobody sobs for me;
I'm the underdog
Slum dog who lost glory;
I got Tory
I got Stay$oul;
Even when Our payroll
stays cold n pain tolls;
Forfeitin's forbidden,
To quit n Change roles;
Even though I came close
I'm on the same road;
Lookin back keeps me
Movin' forward won't hesitate in;
Preparations disproving
This Unpleasant nation's;
discrimination, while securing
My Descendants' placement;
Hip Hop's my protein,
Addicted like coke fiends;
This whole thing, isn't-me-loathing
boasting, or sugar coating, only exposing.

I'm starving myself right now man. I write better when I don't eat.
I write hungrier I guess.
I write what I feel
Or what I do...
But With nothing happening, do I only hurt myself on purpose??
No chorus...
It's just straight up
yo...
VERSE
While Inspiration
Takes Hiatus
Our Undertaking
Trembles;
Now it's essential,
Cause without that differential;
Between the influenced & the influential;
Both my spine & line of work disassemble;
I can't be in
this function;
I'm useless
Like a bunch of fuckin';
Reptiles, with erectile,
Dysfunction;
Feel destructive...
And yet deconstructed;
Tupac said keep ya head up
I do as he instructed;
Should catch a rebound
I need intense sex;
But I be Catchin' feelings quick
In ten secs;
Been on that carousel
Avoiding it's imperative;
There it is, the heart break
To par-take in my narrative;
We've all heard
Patience is a virtue;
In this game it hurts you,
Like when your team deserts you;
...Charlatans
I once considered family;
Abandoned me,
Stranded n single handedly;
I Re-Branded me!
Slammin' these bottles
Like they Aquafina;
Next day, head's hit
By hurricane Katrina;
Brain waves in a rage
Radical currents;
Emotions become my master
After Years of being servants;
Thoughts of love lost
Begin reemergin';
What I thought we were
...we weren't;
Habits I kicked, kicked back, back to my old ways;
My Strange addiction
Latching onto these cold pains;
I know you feel that
It's all over your home page;
Post after post...
Same old craze;
Cryin' bout the whole change;
Since the old days;
Making 25 feel like
It's an old age;
Number one power
Y'all wishin' for is top flight;
Now you're doomed
under the world's spot light;
Next ya wanna switch
To invisibility;
All I wanted
Instant stability;
The rapture hit me
I'm busy Going cray cray!
About to cut myself,
With a straight raze!!
Straight faced! Down!!
Inside a play place;
At the Ceremony
If y'all can afford the state's rates;
Buy me a headstone
Birth and Death same dates;
Then engrave:
His home he'll never vacate;
No fat guy with a bagpipe PLAY BASS!!
Worms eating my remains
Don't forget to say grace.
...yeah...
...Don't forget to say;
Don't forget to say
Yo forgive the way;
This poem is written
This poem is soundin';
My think-tank storms the gates and all who surround it;
If you home loungin'
Or maybe cruisin' to it;
You choosin' this piece
To listen to is Improvement;
It's hard to splash your mind
With my uniqueness;
When there's sound waves
Always making you think less;
Staring at my Phone
So pathetically;
As if to find that
somebody finally messaged me;
Like my recent chick
Rap fans Rejecting me;
I'm Not expecting me
To simply inherit Everything;
Happiness always
Changes its Price Tag;
Put me in a white jag
THEN ask if I'm sad;
I'm Wise man,
Cause though it might drag;
I know the life fact
Struggle has no white flag;
...Wit hell on Earth
The world can be the Coldest place;
Like an Overweight ice pack
on my shoulder blades;
...I Dig in My past
Leave No ghost erased;
They say it sucks I Rhyme sad
cause my flows are great;
Ain't enough to know your place,
You either mold or break;
Fuck shock, I wanna rock n
Bring about a Culture quake!!!
Instead I'm here...
I'm here WITHOUT inspiration.

Would I be safe?
Mmm...
To put myself out there,
Tell you my nightmares?
Would I be right?
Mmm...Mm
If I never make it,
You'd still be right there?
Would I be safe?
Mmm...
To go on livin' this way?
My years given away?
Would I be right?
Mmm...mm
Hangin' my heart box on Display?
VERSE
I'm not a pessimist...
I've never questioned if...
I'm destined in...
This quest I'm in...
I'm wrestlin' wit...
The pressure n...
The pleasure in...
Writing recording
the art of transporting;
And sorting my brain to tell every damn story;
It's a little distorting,
Never thought of aborting;
Until I picked up an ill received call this morning;
Warning! Me that it's been three years;
Four more til I'm 30
With no career;
Caller ID said Reality
Checkin' me
Looks as though my dream
Got the best uh me;
Tried to make time
With the wrong recipe;
So rest in peace
To the thought of this being my destiny!
Best believe!
God's always testin' me
Relentlessly;
Happy with the handful of people that
Still Invest in me;
I'm doing my best
To attract both coasts;
Without trying to show boat
N pose wit no clothes;
Should I have sagged my jeans?
show some ass crack?
Sport a snap back with a back pack,
tried to rap trap, On the last track?
Rhyme just to rhyme
Half-assed,
Tried to make you laugh at
Quack Quack! Aflac!
That's swag?! That's whack
Don't forget the
Mother fuckin'
mother fuckin'
Mother fuckin' hash tag...
(I'm not afraid of selling out,
I'm scared of caving in;
But if I gave up Fabal
Could I still be Fabian?
To Be one of the greats,
Could I be late??
Would you diss me, miss me, dismiss me,
Or...)
HOOK 2
VERSE 2
Like Peter Parker
The choice gets harder;
Do I ditch the heroics
Or stay a stoic & Martyr;
Cause I'm hungry for life
Lord knows I'm done starvin';
Carvin' out my heart when
Performin' against all these similar artists; Start it!
Gotta heat this stage
Like a solar flare
Clean you out my lane
Like I've bowled a spare;
Liftin' up the mic
Like it's Mjolnir;
Like I'm worthy
Enough to be flowin' there;
Chokin' the mic
Exposin' my life
Explodin' wit rhymes
Ownin' the night!
But where my goin',
When the show ends?
Low in, gas that I drove wit,
Guess it's back home then;
Take another stab, at a track, in the lab, like
Fuck getting noticed;
Would you blame me
For 2nd guessing my journey dude?
When the wild, fire, in my heart
Feels like it's always burning through?
I never show it, when I'm
Throwin' that hundred percentage;
Of myself To my craft
Which Got me disowned, and un-friended;
Attached to a dream
I'm merely another appendage;
I'm no apprentice
Still the wisest masters have questions;
If I fell from ascendance
Would you still be in attendance? And then it's...

A love letter stashed;
Met my better half,
She's met her match;
You know them couples?
Who seem to never clash;
(That ain't us!)
Don't mean we'll never last!
Make up sex, wake up stretch,
Stay undressed!
Look forward to
when we break up next?
Believe in the butterflies!
Like in Little Nicky;
little picky When I'm picking
where we do a little quickie;
Keepin' it PG
In case your parents see me;
Ask about these last rhymes
I cherish breathing!
I could tear this ceiling
With the high you provide;
Fallen so deep
An abyss you won't find;
…An end to it
You know my friends' stupid;
Why you gotta take
so much offense to it;

Baby keep smilin'
Let them teeth shine again;
Forget our ups n downs
Like improvising violin;
I'm your "Secret Lover"
You're my "Dominatrix";
When we see each other
The Perfect combination;
Your late night texts
Keep me up til daybreak;
'Smiley face' and 'Hey Babe'
Tell me why I Stay 'wake;

Don't Mind it,

For you
(Repeat x4)
VERSE
Mom……
I know I keep you up,
Staying worried sick;
Jump into conclusions,
Makin' sure we get;
Back to one another
Safe and sound;
This fame is bound,
I'm not playing around!
Know I'll make it, Know I'm takin';
Time n makin', No mistake n;
Show cases, Goin' places
No vacations Growin' playlists;
Usually Means
More to perform;
Fightin' these wars
Like a man uniformed;
I know you miss your son
Still think of me as young;
But I've only begun,
The man I must become;
Needs some…
Time away;
Keep me in your prayers n
I'm okay;
Keep me in your heart n
I won't break;
Whatever God burdens
I'll obey;
Dry those tears off
Fight those fears off;
Relieving Stress
Sheds some years off.
To my older brother
18 years difference;
Taught me the essentials
Instrumentals and the rhythms;
That shaped and formed
The beats I've composed;
Always lookin' out
I miss both my bros;
When the crowd is cheerin'
Don't trip on appearance;
You're With me at every show and always Shining through my lyrics;
I love you George
I know you're there in spirit;
This is for you too
wish you could hear it.
SPOKEN WORD (compression)
And when I look back,
It's only to see how far I've made it.
But when I compare,
My life and your death, I'd trade it.
And if I took back,
Every bad thing I've done;
I often fantasize
That you're tragedy would be undone.

To my little nieces,
I'd be torn to pieces;
If I wound up missin'
All of your achievements;
Know that it isn't
Cause I love you least;
Cause we all know
That would be the police;
I miss hearin'
All your little laughs;
Drawing me
Wit your little hands;
Hope I get
to see you grown;
When y'all old enough
You'll understand this poem;
To my oldest nieces
And to both my nephews;
To my older Sisters
Don't think I would forget you;
Even on my own
You're Always a part of me
Fans of ME
Not just my artistry;
Wish I could see us
All back in Harmony;
Though I'm the baby,
Swear to God the hardest thing;
Would be to lose y'all
During my uprise;
Life can be cruel
Like that sometimes;
I'm fine, I'm trying
To come up quick,
Sick of comin' up short,
Givin' One hundred;
And I won't forget
Where I came from;
Thanksgiving seats!
Y'all better save one;
My birthday too
Don't set it aside;
One day I'll disappear
But always be alive;
You'll never be without
Me that much is true;
Don't believe what you heard
Believe what you knew;
SPOKEN WORD 2 (compression)
It's Funny how much
A napkin from the United Center can mean to somebody,
My love for IL state...
No amount of success will ever take that from me;
For every day I'm not there is another failure Today is another tally;
Every song, every show leads to my final good bye to Cali;
HOOK
You won't be...
Without me
(Repeat)
BRIDGE
This is all
For you
(Repeat x4)

Complaint

INTRO
He who avoids complaint, invites happiness.
Gratitude is riches,
Complaint is poverty.
VERSE
Paid my dollar fifty,
Now I'm sitting, on the city; bus
To earn my honest living
Today there's no problem wit me; But
Still I'm takin' in…
This rarity, y'all stare at me; cause
of my, austerity
I'm so used, to despair n these; Con-secutive blessings
Are scarin' me, apparently;
The very things, Coherently
Unsparingly tearing me;
Down…
have all been held at bay;
I'm stealin' today's mercy, cause
Tomorrow there'll be hell to pay;
Compelled to stay this way, It's straight, I'll take, these advantages;
Even if you ain't understandin' just
Hear My candidness;
as I bask in this,
People askin' if I'm high?
Drop these questions, stop requested
I got uh exit this ride;
Outside the gig
Fixin' my tie, before I get inside;
Is this right? I'm early?!
I'll pretend it's fine; but I'm
Still skeptical, Nothing's perpetual Like these taxes;
Or Satan's tactics,
I Practice Good karma but still the fact is…
HOOK (Angelie & Leo)
Life's too good (Life's too good)
To be true (To be True);
Cause Sometimes (Life Beats you)
But Sometimes (It leaves you);
No...Com...
plaaaaint!
No...Com...
plaaay-ain't! (Repeat x3)
VERSE 2
Yeh!
Finally out my 9 to 5;
Servin' the truth since birth
My term's 25 to life;
To my surprise!
A whip pulls up Tory is the driver!
"Jump in kid,
We gotta grab Angelie from Yucaipa";
Traffic ain't bad we, rapping
Back n forth like the wipers;
Cars On the 210,
Are all tuned in, to our cypher;
Youth's wasted on the young, Truth's
wasted on the drunks;
Today ain't over it was
Almost wasted on the bus;
Life's spit on me so much
I feel cleansed again;
Another 'Hey baby' text again,
I got so many messages;
from my estranged exes n, I know
it's bad to mention em;
But Y'all know how good being
The center of attention is!
(Stress can fill life's highway
Today there's none in my lane;
Maybe I never consumed too much
Maybe I'm just a lightweight;
Maybe this is a wake up call,
To rise-whenever I take a fall;
New moon rising, my mind would
surprise me if it's Saved at all.)
HOOK 2
OUTRO
No-no no no-no no
No complaint...
Quit your bitchin'
No complainin'

Stoicism

INTRO
Yo…
This is the last chapter.
Only you decide what comes after.
Stoicism
VERSE
This is my epilogue
Don't want to end it wrong;
Sorry if, This,
Isn't an epic song;
What doesn't kill you Leaves you
2 eventful choices;
You forgive or embark
On a vengeful voyage;
BREAK
…That's
…Stoicism.
(Repeat x2)
VERSE 2
Evaluation on values wasted,
From paths you've taken;
Came from so little like
premature ejaculation;
Negative balance…
In ya bank account;
You're Finally paid but
It's the same amount;
Confide in this mic
…Can write N just write;
…Take pride in this fight
Describe what it's like;
Leavin' home behind, to find
…A way to save it;
Thinkin' of all those faces,
Is why you have to make it;
BREAK 2
…That's
…Stoicism.
You feel me don't-cha?
You see me don't-cha?!
If you hear me, then clearly
This is our culture.
VERSE 3
Havin' the drive, but no ride
To drive you there;
Havin' time to shine, but no eyes
To find you there;
Go to bed defeated Sleep in,
then rise again;
Cause even though you're bruised up
You suit up to fight again!
Painful lessons
Age old questions;
Would you still exist If ya
Saved those restin';
Would you doom your family,
To a life of poverty;
To thwart an old tragedy
Which would be most honorably?!
Buildin' your career
From the pavement up;
Aimin' up, Ain't give up,
from the strain, slip up;
And it would've came crashin' down
On your damn face;
What keeps you constructin'
From nothin', is your fan base;
BREAK 3
…That's
…Stoicism.
…
You feel me don't-cha?
You see me don't-cha?!
If you hear me, then clearly
This is our culture.
VERSE 4
Workin' for low wage
Payin' to live;
Next week's check's toward a
Day in the biz;
Cause you love the music
More than life itself;
Money will come, though all it's brung is hell;
[So ya run n sell
Your struggle to;]
(Strangers...
Can I trouble you;)
{Please hear this song
Don't fear if long;}
{[I hope those closed
Up Ears are strong;]}
Havin' so much to say
My Words could bury 'em;
Sharing 'em, but my lyrics
I guess don't bare Enough;
First y'all believed in me
Next y'all followed me;
Hollowed me out Allowing me
to document how low we;
Drop down
Before we rise from depression;
Rise from the pressure
Rise from oppression;
We need more connection?!
I'll connect to poor reception;
I'm from your recession
But I'll honor your perception;
My endurance of pain
…My endeavorment;
the end's nearing To be Endearing's all I ever ment;
Sick from holdin in feelings
I showed em for ya'll;
If this was all for nothing
I guess I'm nothing for all.
…THAT'S Stoicism.
VERSE 5
But I won't rest here!
if my words do fall on deaf ears;
After I've spent years
On making my flow Per-fect here's!
When I Shift
to tenth gear;
(Whether-from-heaven-or-hell I'm sent here!)
I've cried blood!
Y'all wept tears!
I have no rug
For swept fears;
Or doubts, that surround from the rhymes that I spout at the crowds;
Making my rounds!
Til I'm found, profound
But there's just something
I'm NOT understandin';
Did you wanna sell out
or a stand in?
True Hip Hop, I will not, abandon;
I'm a bandit,
Who be Snatchin;
Anything wit scratches,
808's, Boom bap's n;
Commandeer
Any tracks then;
Purge, kill a verse
Wit a fourth degree burn
When I'm rappin';
Set fires to any
band wagons;
For Shitty ass labels
Who be Handin'; out more
Counterfeit G's
Than Red Dragon;
Bet you can't imagine
All the gas n,
Fans wit, fading passion
I've had to ration;
For 5 minute interactions
With scouts from def jam n
Then Travelin'; 2!!
thousand miles
Havin'...nothing happen,
Killin' my dreams
and fantasies;
Then of course our families;
Think wanting to rap-is
Bad habit or a damn disease;
So I'll be damned if These!
Fucks think
we're all the same;
Want "all the hoe's" n
"all the fame";
The "Amber Roses",
All the K's;
Kim Khloe Kourtney,
Don't support me;
Just deport me
Like I'm not a fuckin' citizen;
"This spic is in
SANE Thinkin' that he's fittin' in;"
To Failure? I ain't givin' in!
My pride resists your pillagin';
You devils keep on fiddlin';
The stages I be hittin' em;
The Critics baby sittin' em;
Spinnin' em n splittin' em
With Every line I'm spittin' 'em;
Like I'm titties jigglin'
Or Loonies off the Ritalin;
Just Keep me in your visions N,
I'm already Figurin';
When the GAME
gets sickenin';
The Ear buds you be stickin' in;
will become
imprisonment;
Your Patience will be sizzilin';
Like Gotham you'll be signalin',
I pray you really
Listen when
You're Putting
Stoicism in.

Now let's see how y'all feelin'...
