Lost At Sea

Physcologically, I gotta be
advancing like technology
enhancing from a model t
into the helicopter seat
but then i got a chopper beat
call in the mach three
have it fly in over the top of me
i'm coming up in this game
like taking property in monopoly
i hold it down like poverty
See logically i'm obviously
the prodigy of this prophecy
i got a lot on my mind
so i feel i got a lot to teach
like it was ancient philosophy
drop a beat & talk beliefs
then start to preach to the hard to reach
educate them properly
& before their brain is obsolete
sculpt that thing like pottery
so instead of makin a mockery
of the things you see when you watch tv
just stop to see then possibly
you wont feel like your lost at sea.

Cold World

Its hard to figure out 
why the world is so cold
Why theres kids carrying guns
thats only ten years old
Suicide bombers
that raise the death toll
& a government that banks
off the drugs that get sold
Meanwhile global warmings
melting down the north pole
We need to rise to the occasion
if we wanna reach a goals
Petro's becoming more valuable then gold
& the american dollar continues to grow low
It just dosen't make since
why its so hard to make dollars
Whatever happened to the plans
thought of by our founding fathers
The economy's getting slaughtered
still people dont have a hand to offer

Hard Times

Growing up in hard times 
i'm always stuck with a struggle
Every since i can remember
i've been getting in trouble
If it wasn't skipping school
or running from them boys in blue
then i was beating up the dudes
that i sold the dope too
Thats not a lifestyle that i choose to go through.
Trying to make money on the streets
while other hustlers compete
they wanna run us off the block
but theres no way we will retreat
but thats just everyday street life
now pass the peace pipe
So i can just blaze
while i pray for better days
& try to think of clever ways
that i can make the chedder stay
This life is just not right
i'm in debt
& i cant stop smoking on these damn cigarettes
whats happened in the past has got me livin with regrets
but everybody has hard times so try not stress
Lord, i must confess im doing my best to proceed
but the devil will possess
& he's flexing on me
hes got me stuck
stuck between a rock and hard place 
so i'm slanging this cocaine
so i can come up like scareface
& it makes my heart ache 
that i stay stuck in this dark space
harsh days got me feeling like its time to part ways

High Class

She's high class like a scholar
sweetest thing since dessert 
She'd prolly be with a doctor
if I wouldn't of got to her first
When I go over to hollar
I compliment on her purse
The gucci's coming high dollar
which says you know what your worth
Then I start to back off her
but she continues to flirt
Gives me her number says call her
so I guess my pimp hand still works
She wants to dance so I follow
cause shes lookin good in that skirt
On the floor I make her an offer
she looks at me and just smirks
I say good god...good god almighty
come over to the crib 
so we can do something naughty
I'll pull out the baby oil
rub it all over your body
I'm gonna like doing you so much
I'm gonna make it a hobby
She just smiles & keeps on dancin
tells me that I'm handsome
later on I take her to the crib
hit like a champion

Our Majesty

It has to be a tragedy 
There holdin us down like gravity 
see actually the government 
tends to be our majesty 
Whats happening is trafficking  
But the Feds are doing the packaging 
If your askin me It's a catastrophe 
We can't even legally pass the beez 
Got all this pain & agony 
& the Feds keep on 
Coming after me mad at me 
Cuz I'm stacking Gs 
But they can't hang
Wit my strategy 
I'm packin heat if I have to be
Aint none of my foes out lastin me 
Always feel like ones gonna blast at me
So there's a hundred Riders backin me 
that's fast to creep To put your ass to sleep 
& won't crack a peep Unless there asked to speak

So Long

Nothing last forever
sometimes good things never start
I would of cherished you like a treasure
so why the sudden change of heart
I wanted to bring you joy & pleasure
but you just put me in the dark
It seemed right being together
how did we ever get split apart

The feeling that i had
were almost to strong to contain
why'd you have to leave so fast 
i barley got to know your name
I'll admit it makes me sad
how you bounce & wont explain
We could've had a blast
baby girl its such a shame

I would've showered you with gifts
& treated you like a queen
I loved it when we kissed
layin next to you was like a dream
I was gonna ice out your wrist
& make your neck & fingers bling
But i'm glad you chose to split
before i put you on my team

I know you didn't care 
cause you never showed appreciation
We could've made the perfect pair
but you just wanna keep me waitin
Well soon i won't be there 
cause i'm starting to get impatient
& it really isn't fair
you should've already been mine for the takin

So theres nothing left to do 
but keep my head up & move on
& get over feeling bue
but to continue to stay strong
All i ever wanted was you 
but you just wanna do me wrong
So heres my goodbye i'm through
see ya later girl so long

Shut Down

I'm shutting **** down
control alt delete
So many soldiers in my city
I patrol all the streets
Leave these *****es hung up 
Like when a phone calls complete 
If I ain't messing wit u 
It's cause your so small, petite 
Like a cold broads physique 
that'll go & jog but don't eat
I melt these bastards faster 
than a snowball in heat
Keep my eyes open at all 
times I don't fall asleep 
I always stay afloat 
old logs in creeks
Like where's Waldo discrete
If you hide I'll go seek 
Serve you busters 
like time for super ... Bon appetite

Horror Story

At times this life is like a  Horror story  
Tryin to prevent gettin sent to the morguetory  
Livin in a spot that's cursed 
Gettin popped like a clerk                              
If you stop to converse 
On a block not your turf 
This is not just a verse
Even cops must disperse 
If there caught bustin perps
They'll be shot up at work 
Is this game really worth
All the pain & the hurt 
it's a shame all the dirt 
Cant be tamed or reversed
There's so much more to 
Gain from this earth
We came for the perks 
Then made insane from what lurks 
In the shadows
Showin us the bad roads 
Turnin us into sad folks
we followed every word satin has spoke
Forgettin that we ever had hopes 
But now were down to our last rope 
Trying to climb out with our backs broke 
Havin trouble to maintain 
Through the struggles  & strain
As this bubbles on my brain
These scuffles leave me drained

Backed Against the Wall

I'm backed against, I'm trapped against
I'm backed against this wall
When its that intense I lack some sense
then bad events evolve
My last suspence has me past convinced
that I have to dent some skulls
This path I went is in fact an attempt
to stay on track and fix my flaws
Stack chips from wall to wall
and forget about my down falls
Put the past behind me like hineys
& continue climbing 
Finding that while driving
these struggles is what define me
I'm crushing every obstical
failing isn't optional
Stay clear of whats unstoppable
& witness the impossible
I only do what is I gotta do
to survive gotta have a lot of food
This ground I stands all i got to lose
so not an inch of me is about to move
