Started in the game, called myself a real hustler, far from deserving, they smacked me a muffler
Made me tougher, made me stronger, made me wiser, buff like Steiner, blow up like the geysers
Battled in wars, in hindsight, was petty, bumped up my intellect, back then, I wasn't ready
Nowadays, they sounding super similar, same ass song with the simpler signature
How you work that damn hard, not to ever change? Body still big, but I broke out the cage
R.I.P. to that shit before 20-10, changing day in, day out, all again
Far from the former wires, some of the mental, now you're gone, like the vibes of the instrumental
2020, I hit the bigger doubles, Full Circle living, so I hit the bigger hustles
Big by design, but I shine on the front line
Born for my destiny, fit for my own time
Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber
Big by design, but I shine on the front line
Born for my destiny, fit for my own time
Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber
I see a lot, hear a lot, rarely gotta speak, bad puns get a wink like it’s tongue in cheek
They get to talkin’ bout the scene, wondering “How come?” Y’all ain’t peep the gems I dropped last album
Everybody claim they different, yet, they sound the same, me and LowY touch down, we make a new lane
Seen em come, seen em go, wastin’ all the talent, same muhfuckas talkin, shit – they used to have it
Flounderin like fish, fresh out the water, refuse to take the same fate, never for dishonor
Why would I bother when they never took me serious? Who’s still here? Who left from weariness
Talkin’ everything, soccer to the Oscars, chillin' on a roster, settle for the dollars
My impact here? Let me say it again – you gotta BEAT the man to get to BDa, Man
Big by design, but I shine on the front line
Born for my destiny, fit for my own time
Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber
Big by design, but I shine on the front line
Born for my destiny, fit for my own time
Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber
Flounder by the way side, come and go like corner stores, many came, many went, keepin' up is such a bore
Count em on the floor like them cheap ass 1 cents, punks tried to step with them poo butt ass threats
Who you think you talkin to? Don't let shit sway ya. Send ya with Jerome, far to the Himalayas
No one is exempt, ain't a damn soul stopping me, miss me with the fuckery, please skip the mockery
Talkin' a different language, no Rosetta Stone necessary, thought they was permanent, were only temporary
Now, they actin' scary, only comment on the weird shit, never share my wins, steady standing on that weirdness
Add up all the shots and the bars, you get it! Shoutout to the ones who parted ways and split it
Made me tougher, made me stronger, made me better - when I blowuptuate? I don't need em...forever
Big by design, but I shine on the front line
Born for my destiny, fit for my own time
Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber
Big by design, but I shine on the front line
Born for my destiny, fit for my own time
Best under danger, flames in the hangar, breakin’ out the daggers, fire from the chamber

The Race

Ten toes down, so I'm runnin' down a dream, Wide 13s got me livin' out a theme
Two sides, the gemini, I'm one man, many names, many fames, through these lands
Somethin' like Luigi Pirandello, some think I'm mellow, others think I bellow
I can't keep straight, what you may make, let me get it narrow, royal blue like a Pharaoh
Set free to be me, release the heat - chips back on my back, I'm not beat
Run the one-man gauntlet among my beings, don't give many greetings, cause of my many feelings
For the simple minds? Go head, forget about me! When I pass on, go head & sing about me
All this time, I ain't never set a pace, I'm no rat, I can't, run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
I was flying in limbo, they can’t knock my shoes, I’m rockin’ the Timbos
Wait, those Emilios – hit ‘em with the bam bam! Flintstone, hit ‘em with the homegrown
Full Circle, baby! Catch me with the Speed of Sound, all around town with the ladies
Please don’t mess with the ladies, don’t mess with the vibes, we ain’t really tryin’a catch you outside
If I see you and don’t speak? We ain’t on that level for you to see me breathe
Catch your breath like you catch these lefts, catch these rights like faded nights
That’s black & blue like it’s gone corrupt, that’s enforcement with zero fucks
Did I get too real? Did I get too political? Wake up, y’all – it ain’t so simple
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Keep it movin', from the forward to the sky, we all flourish, get a piece of the pie
Even The Rock can't smell what I'm cookin'! The future? Looks so reassuring
Like Tropicana, I got all the juice! Chains off, time to let the dog loose
When it's time, I gather all my troops, take the losses, begin to recoup
The homie said, "Small Wins Over Time", try to balance it out with some overtime
The rest say, "Work smarter, not harder", try to maintain focus, never stray & wander
Wanting wishes like Cosmo and Wanda, when the day go by, huh - I sit and wonder
Bout the sky, deluxe apartment, how I can get it, with the fancy garments
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race
Get these fools up out my face! Watch out now, I don’t run your race

The Stank

This ain't that thang that you usually expect, rhymes full of structure, everything in check
Who's ya best bet to come through and smash it? Grab the mic, shut it down, never pass it
My size Jurassic, my heart is bigger, more merit than that Mary Tyler Moore figure
We gon' make it if we fake it or not, see the pieces of the puzzle through the sand & blots
Rorschach the court like Shaquille O'Neil, who's matchin' the big fella? Got bars that kill
Got - balls of steel when them shades is on, hear the Woo comin' like grenades go off
Precursor to the war, too late to withdraw, showing off more than big ass macaws
Oh my god! It's blasphemy, sacrilegious, rapping over jazz shit, what great prodigious!
That's that stank, you know we go hard in the muhfuckin’ paint
That's that stank, rhythm and flow - point blank
That's that stank, you know we go hard in the muhfuckin’ paint
That's that stank, when ya face look like a lemon drank
Wake up, not knowing what I'm doin', smell more smoke than cigars from a cuban
That's cause my brain's on fire, tougher than Kanye through the whole wire
Not Kevin Gates, I do get tired, age creepin' up like hitmen for hire
These days like a wild decks of cards, get hit swift like shots to the nards
Never saved big - by shopping at Menards, big shit poppin', they only send regards
That's just be-cause, they ain't really my seeing whole damn cause
These days be a rhythm roulette, spin the wheel, see the prize, I'm dead set
Guess what I'm doin - there's no safe bet! Kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug, then I jet
That's that stank, you know we go hard in the muhfuckin’ paint
That's that stank, rhythm and flow - point blank
That's that stank, you know we go hard in the muhfuckin’ paint
That's that stank, when ya face look like a lemon drank
Got passed by, passed on up, sat by while the others came up
That's cool and all, but my time is here, smiles are gone, competition is here
They style better, but my songs is better, they talk more, but I act more
They play it short, I play it long, been going right, but they going wrong
Same ol' blah blah, same ol' whatever, they like stormy, I like sunny weather
We ain't the same, we are not alike, they got ribbon, I got condenser mics
Getting the paper, they study by other means, they got teams, but I got bigger dreams
Big man status imperious , peep the rest on why I’m Serious
That's that stank, you know we go hard in the muhfuckin’ paint
That's that stank, rhythm and flow - point blank
That's that stank, you know we go hard in the muhfuckin’ paint
That's that stank, when ya face look like a lemon drank
That's that stank, you know we go hard in the muhfuckin’ paint
That's that stank, rhythm and flow - point blank
That's that stank, you know we go hard in the muhfuckin’ paint
That's that stank, when ya face look like a lemon drank
The Stank
The whole stank
The nothin' but the stank
All the stank
But y'all ain't ready for that though

People want spectacular, they want the strong vernaculars, so they can get the bids for capacitors
With the flux & bucks in? That’s self-destruction! All in your system for combustion
They ain’t got the spark of spirit, no compassion with it, not the love up in it
Need a little bit of understanding, need a little bit of independence, in a world full of dependence
Hold your stance, take your pride, breathe in, breathe out - never let them take you out
The room full of suits and big ties, can never ever ever take out this big guy
Got the Rage like de la Rocha, I explode fast like a supernova
They don’t care about the vision, they wanna poach your minutes, doing what’s best for the business
Down with the machine! Pushing all agendas, they will never reign supreme
It’s down with the machine! It’s a new agenda with a brand new regime
Me and my brothers, my sister, that’s the team, my nephews, niece, the future with dreams
My parents, grandmas, my few friends, circle so small, see how the wheel spin
See how the wheel turn, see how the wheel ride, look at the architecture, see how the wheel provide
No manufactured flaws, raw and uncut, magazine untouched
No photoshop, skin alternation, big shots need a big calibration
They done all forgot about a little bit of patience, they done all forgot how it feels to be waiting
To exhale from hell and heaven with the choir, hitting low passes with the ones by the fire
We aspire to break doors and break norms, new automation make us grab ‘em by the horns
Down with the machine! Pushing all agendas, they will never reign supreme
It’s down with the machine! It’s a new agenda with a brand new regime
You see the gear, the shirts, and sunglasses, you know the name, the Woo to masses
Boots to asses when it comes to lyrical killing, style, profile, get to wheelin' & dealin
Hollerin' my name for the wrong reasons, people got more faces then there are seasons
I'm in my own lane and league, my crew is the horsemen, attack like blitzkrieg.
If you don't like it, learn to love it, eternal like flames, running through my veins
Everything rearranged, past 15 or so, hold up - let me break down a manifesto
I intend to alter all perception, get more complex, something like inception
Unspoken thoughts are my lyrical expression, come at y'all with the Ruthless Aggression
Down with the machine! Pushing all agendas, they will never reign supreme
It’s down with the machine! It’s a new agenda with a brand new regime
Down with the machine! Pushing all agendas, they will never reign supreme
It’s down with the machine! It’s a new agenda with a brand new regime
Woo
Woo
Ah
Like a machine
Like old machines
Woo
Woo
Ah
Ah
If you know, you know

The Art Of Negotiation
03:35
|
|||
Let’s talk eye to eye, full hand, one on one, bring it to the table or it might be fatal
Or it might be wise, for us cutting down time, playing to the weaknesses of the other side
Who’s right & who’s wrong? Who’s the one who winning? Who’s the one who losing – all is so amusing
I can’t work the Miracles like Smokey, you gon’ have to give me some more time if you want the win slowly.
Or I can dish the Big L, put it on and on, add another L, ladies love DaRonn
They want the planes and trains for the escape, want some more food, so they can hold they fate
But I’m’a pose a question, with another open-ended, your time is my time, simply – extended
I flip the switch like the tables, do you want the lights turned low or the sound disabled
And let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Too many "Nos" and not the "Yeses", try to take them all in, like life lessons
But I'm sittin' stressin', steady stagnant with some swords, tryin'a take my time, tactical tasks - workin' towards
Better future, better path, better roots, ditch the old shit, eat more fruits
Shit, I am far from perfect, hunger for the new ways, tryin'a feel the power, something like The New Day
Power of positivity - bounce round like tennis, stay up sometimes, south like Memphis
Aiming for the crown - Jerry "The King" Lawler, unsung hero like The Brooklyn Brawler
I could - wish I was taller like Skee-Lo in '95, 24 years later, I'm sayin I feel alive
Tell me "No" 3 times? Working at my best. Throw up the index, Daniel Bryan with the Yes!
And let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
I hear the footsteps in the dark, changes sound like basses from the quietest of parks
The flock wonder why I never come through, why I never come by, success is the appetite
Said it before: ain't no room for the drama and the baggage, shit you can't salvage
Mom and pop taught me how to dodge that shit, years go by, ain't never changed that shit!
Been subtracting people more, adding very few, multiply my focus, divvy down the crew
How you bringin ruckus when I reflect it like mirrors? This is why I rock with very few, little peers
Little cheers and fanfare like leprechauns, give complex talk outside my lexicon
When the shades are on, shit gets dangerous, day to day life got me goin' through them changes
Through them changes
And let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate
Oh! Let’s try to negotiate, let’s try to negotiate

I'm Serious
03:59
|

Throughout the years
I've always heard
And speculated
About
All the hearsay
All the people talkin
Wondering if they actually take me serious
After this many years in the game
But to them
I've got all of this to say
So, listen very, very closely
Let's get it
Got a big body like guerillas, when I come with rhymes, you know I'm not a killa
I'm the thriller with no glove, no walk up on the moon, can't stand still, gotta stay up on the move
A lot of eyes, mild reaction, you try to hear my voice, hear what's happening
"Oh, he's still rapping?" Haven't stopped since 7th grade, to the lot of ya, owe a lot of ya some fades
Like a cockroach coming back with a turtle shell, comeuppance is all y'alls personal hell
That sweet shit, preacher shit - half the time - other half, kick ass - John Shaft
Surface get foggy like marshes, till’ you hear the laughing, treat me like a Martian
Proceed with caution, act like I exist, until that day, I'm a guerilla in the mist
If you thought I was mysterious? Well, you better take me serious
If you thought I was mysterious? Well, you better take me serious
All them thangs you thought you knew? Tint game change like shades of blue.
The beat make you delirious? Now, you know I’m serious
Trek up and down the blocks of my town, big man ‘round, you already know the sound
Authentic realness, never ever frontin’, no false pose for photos, I grace those
Keep my integrity, grace the presence, you standing in awe, go awe about the legend
Shock & stare never ceases to get tired, high school trolls, randos, need to retire
If I retired? Listened to the doubters? Woulda been straight booty-o, nothing but sour
Clap for the power, positivity, New Day, every week, every month, find new ways
Get my bars up, philosophy from Mars up, flourish on em, never open scars up
Step by step, one day a time, one day - you’ll see, The City Is Mine
If you thought I was mysterious? Well, you better take me serious
If you thought I was mysterious? Well, you better take me serious
All them thangs you thought you knew? Tint game change like shades of blue.
The beat make you delirious? Now, you know I’m serious
Champion mentality, sonic with the sound, running at the rings, never settle on the ground
Got a heavy weight, yet the heavyweight is hard to hate, gets much love, no matter the gender or race
Who's the face you love to see smiling? Poster man, the one and only, fighting
Yeah, that's me, still undefeated, it's a mindset, let me repeat it
Being a champ starts all up in the cerebellum, stop caring bout the others, start rebelling
Walk the path where you flourishing the most, where the words ain't buttered like toast
Where ya loved ones got clear motives, say it, do it, alladat, just show it
The Man, Big Boss, you know the deal, you know the name...you know who's here
If you thought I was mysterious? Well, you better take me serious
If you thought I was mysterious? Well, you better take me serious
All them thangs you thought you knew? Tint game change like shades of blue.
The beat make you delirious? Now, you know I’m serious
If you thought I was mysterious? Well, you better take me serious
If you thought I was mysterious? Well, you better take me serious
All them thangs you thought you knew? Tint game change like shades of blue.
The beat make you delirious? Now, you know I’m serious!
And we out
Woo
We out
Gabe, let's take 'em out, man
Let's take 'em out, man
Shoutsout to Gabe on the boards!
