Verse: One summer night to top my list of favorites The baddest ones were fighting to be seen But on my arm, to everyone's amazement She might as well have walked straight out your dreams. I told her that They can keep breaking they necks, tryna see that Imma keep making these checks Always wondering if they can be next. No vacancy, read receipts on the texts No time soon you gon' find another guy with his 3rd eye tuned and lookin' this fly Hit he back room, slide them thangs to the side, haha. Ooo It can't wait. x4 Chorus: It must be an emergency With everybody else around But we don't need no courtesy. I gotta Give you all this lovin' now, babe (Get it, get it, get it, aye x4) I see 'em watchin' babe. x2 C'mon. Verse: It's been some time, she's holding my attention With these other girls it wasn't meant to be They may be in my messages & mentions Hoping that one day I'll reply eventually. I told her that They can keep breaking they necks, tryna see that Imma keep making these checks Always wondering if they can be next. No vacancy, read receipts on the texts No time soon you gon' find another guy with his 3rd eye tuned and lookin' this fly Hit he back room, slide them thangs to the side, haha. Ooo It can't wait. x4 Chorus x2 Outtro: Close that door, hit that lock, kiss your neck, that's your spot. Yeah yeah You say yes, please don't stop. I don't care if they watch. Yeah yeah x2

Intro: I had the craziest dream last night. And you were in it girl. One day I gotta tell ya How I really feel How I really feel, yeah. Verse: Runnin' all around in my imagination. In the morning I'm surrounded by the fascination With the possibility of you & me gettin' involved. Not tryna get in yo drawls but tryna get in yo drawls, y'know? Funny paradox. What a predicament. All of these niggas lie. Me? I'm just kickin' it. Hangin out the passenger side of they niggas' whip. You ain't even feelin' 'em, not even a likkle bit. You want a genuine commitment, I can tell. With a smitten disposition. Don't forget that I excel And got more to offer than some good dick & YSL. So tell me why you sittin' by yourself Many many men want a "try" with you. I know we just friends but I ride with you. Talking on the phone every night with you. Something bigger going on, you can't deny it. It's true. Now I never been the type to be thirsty. Cause it's raining on me too. But holding this in kinda hurts me. So what we gon' do? Chorus: (I'll tell you something that I wonder all the time) Girl I'm tellin' you what I see, over & over, over & over in my mind (What would ever happen if me & you spent the night?) I said do you ever wonder, aye, what if we spent the night? (Ooo wouldn't it be great?) If you ever came through. I could prolly entertain you. (Ooo I can hardly wait) I don't wanna be rude, but I don't want it if it ain't you, baby (Ooo wouldn't it be great?) If you ever came through, I could prolly entertain you but you keep runnin' Hook: Runnin' all around in my imagination. I can see my niggas tellin me congratulations Tellin' me to wife that. I say it ain't like that. "Are you in the friend zone?" I can't even fight back. Damn. The harsh reality is I ain't even holler yet. Other dudes ballin' on you. I ain't spent a dollar yet. Can't buy affection, that's why them niggas all in debt. Gotta take a shot soon, cause If I don't then I'll regret. Winter's coming, getting very cold again. Ice cream cups with the cherry on the rim This is very necessary. I can barely hold it in. Cause you come around every now & then so I tell you that Many many men want a "try" with you. But ain't no other man that'll vibe with you When I look into your eyes, can't deny the view. I seen what's inside of you. Now I've been lookin' for the right way to say this, for the perfect place and time. But all that I gotta say is, "will you be mine?" Chorus

101 03:34
Verse: See, I fell down. I bumped my head I scraped my knee. I hurt my leg. All banged up, black & blue. Ask me what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna pick up my left foot. I put that bitch on the ground. Then Imma pick up the right one, and jump in the muhfuckin' crowd. And they put they hands in the clouds. That is without a shadow of doubt. Catalyst isn't as bad as it sounds. Climbing the mountaintop, Chorus: I may fall 100 times, but I get up 101 I got your back if you get mine. Cause you see where we comin' from It's alright. Cause we gon' ride tonight, right? (right) I may fall 100 times, but I get up (I get up) I get up, yeah. Verse: Your wounds may heal. Emotions don't A broken heart. A broken home. You can run, but you can't hide All that pain buried deep inside, but You gonna pick up your left foot, then put that bitch on the ground Then you gon' follow the right one. Girl it ain't nothin' profound You don't need no one around running they mouth with nothing but doubt They gon' be wondering "how?" It's something about getting up! Chorus Some people call it crazy, some people call it strange. You call it what you want to. We on a different page. Some choose to lay it down and wait around for better days. Well, you can have your way. Some high, mostly lows. One mo' try. No cheat codes. Game on froze but I'm gon' bag it. I don't brag, I mostly boast. I came to win, baby, not get close. Maybe they laugh at the path I chose Doing a lot pursuing the top, so tell me are you in or not? Chorus

*verse 1* One foot on the clutch, one foot on the gas in my girlfriend’s coup. Now I’m switchin’ lanes She’d do anything I ask, got a hand in my lap, Grand Mar in a flask in my stichin’ mane I’m the wrong shade of brown on the wrong side of town. They gon’ try to lock me down that’s the mission ain’t it? I walk the line, I walk the line. I’m on my boss shit. Everybody talk shit. Chances that I lost it: not very likely. A lot of niggas on hot shit & they be thinking that it’s really not shit waking up in Rice Street If I choose to be wild, then usually I don’t really hold back. You gon’ see in no time ‘Till the day that I die for what’s true to me, use this as my eulogy, baby. I walk the line *hook* Maybe I’m the killer Maybe I’m the healer Or maybe both combined I know this town ain’t big enough for the two I know it doesn’t really matter to you I know that that time is overdue *verse 2* One eye lookin’ in, one eye lookin out, one eye steady lookin’ for another check I ain’t never been a slave to no wage. From the crib to the grave, boy you know you better come correct May be cool for now. Niggas wanna goof around might as well wind up with the noose around your fuckin’ neck But I walk the line, I walk the line Imma come clean, shorty in the front seat making me consider if I wanna stay posted Imma tell the truth, smartest man I ever knew told me if you know something, know you don’t know shit So between you & I, guess I’ll never know why all these lines are so hard to define I just keep it in drive. When she look in my eyes, she can understand why I walk the line *hook* You better watch yo step Better keep it in line Fuckin’ with mine You better watch yo step nigga (haha) Keep it in line Better keep it in line. You must’ve lost yo mind

We Out Here 05:00
Intro: You already know what the fuck goin on. Verse: This ain't a coming of age. I wasn't born yesterday Give a fuck 'bout what you say. Get the fuck outta my face. Get the fuck outta the way. Nigga my time is precious Too busy counting my blessings. This is my time today. I'm on a roll. Givin' em something to hold now Bringing the gold back to the humble abode Maybe I'll show you sometime, and I mean only one time. If you get only one time, don't act like you know me. You not the homie. Outta control. Your boy came through with the glow, now. Look at my bros. None of my niggas is hoes Don't make 'em prove it now. You might wanna cool it down. We are the movement now. Bitches be choosin' move it or lose it. I be making something out of nothing at all I'm in the bag wit it. You gettin mad wit it. How can we become it when we already are? So fuckin' bad wit it. No comin' back, innit? Picture me goin' out bad. Giving everything that I had I say fuck that. Yeah. Aye. Alright Chorus: Bad muhfuckas! We out here! x4 Verse: He is the man. Your boy done did it again now My dick in my hand. These heaux considering, "Damn, why he be flexin' like that? Why he so sexy like that?" Why y'all in my section like that? It's too many guesses, too many questions Run up the bands. Your boy need all of the bands now This is your chance. 'Cause I'm finna switch up the plan like, "Why he be moving like that?" Cause I need improvement like that And not say "excuse me" like that. Cause this is a movie, they finna shoot me. Everything to gain & I got nothing to lose. Fuck all the clout, my dude. Fuck all the doubt, my dude. Know a nigga came up & he broke all the rules. Look at the altitude. I told you we out, my dude. Picture me goin' out bad. Giving everything that I had. I say fuck that. Yeah. Aye. Alright! Chorus Guitar solo Verse: Aye, we can assume that I already keep it in tune. Aye, I frequently prove the sky ain't the limit, even the moon. I say shut the fuck up when I'm speakin' or you can be leaving the room. Cause I could be meeting my doom, or leaving too soon, yeah. I'm on the brink of epiphany. That's why a nigga be thinking so differently She wanna fuck on the sink & then dip with me. Little vacations and trinkets from Tiffany's doesn't mean shit to me. Give me the infamy. Tat it in ink, put my name on the blimp for me. Niggas is lame. Give 'em my sympathies. Dang, this is it for me. I ain't even tryna stunt. I could do this every month. Damn nigga, what you want? Why they saying it was luck? But they ain't say enough. You see this muhfuckin coat?? Do I give a fuck? Nope! Instrumental break Voice mail: Damn you Micah, I swear to God. Why don't you wanna just hang & party with me? I feel like this is a personal attack on me. You always wanna go on breaks of fuckin' drinking when I wanna turn the fuck up! When we ever gon' hang again? Never! And if it is, it better not be no 35 minute stop by my house. I wanna go out & kick it!

Verse: I'm a little bit crazy. A little mislead. A little tired of you In my head I never been perfect. I never been whole Never felt like this so deep within my soul I listen to that man in the mirrror He don't never tell the truth, no. Is this a dream or real life? Do you see fire in my eyes? It burns through my disguise Chorus: (Am I losing my mind?) No I don't believe it, that I'm losing control (Am I losing my mind?) No I don't believe it No I don't believe it But I just can't help but see that (Everywhere I go) It's always raining soon as I step in. And I have no sense of direction in my mentality. But I know that (Everyone I see) Always winds up lookin' like strangers. Can It be I'm going insane if my reality is crumbling down. Verse: I'm a little bit manic. A little depressed I feel I'm caving in. Must be stress. I'm tired of being high I'm tired of being low Never felt like this so deep within my soul, Oh! So I put my hand through the mirror *shatter* And that's when you came running in Now I know I'm flying high, yeah. What's illusion, or what's real? I don't know how to feel baby Chorus Bridge: I guess I'm crazy after all after all after all I guess I'm crazy after all after all, after all.

Verse" Take it from me now, make your money how make your money now. Ain't it funny how basic dummies can't wait to run me down? But is it 'cause of them that I don't have shit? I still don't have shit, 'cept me, myself, and this casket, nigga Never know my story 'til Im dead & gone. Shit that I'm already on, watch 'em try to stake claim. I just wanna make fetti on fetti on fetti til the day I gotta break change You know when you plan to be living out a fantasy, don't nobody help you Cause they never felt you. I just tell 'em keep your muhfuckin opinion to yourself, dude. Nobody gave a fuck & now you got your hand out, looking for a hand-out, looking for some damn clout. You gon' be waitin for a while, gon' & camp out. A nigga tryna branch out, no damn doubt Not a politician cause I hate to run. Don't fuck wit' me boy I ain't the one Grandfather style, you know I ain't the son. & yo ass whooping has just begun. C'mon Chorus: It ain't like I can take it with me when I die I just want something to call my own I don't get off on this & she gon' wonder why Born alone, born alone die alone. Verse Make your money how you make your money cause they gon' run they mouth Aint it funny? They gon' take it from me or maybe gun me down. But is it cause of "them" that I don't have shit? Like I ever had shit. It's just me myself & this casket. I'm a serial killer to your stereo, drinkin' imperial stouts out a sippy cup. I know you seen me in the video. True. I've been clearly over everybody hittin' me up. You better leave me alone. When you beep-beep the phone, better talk about the cash flow Or Imma delete yo ass out the contacts. Anyway, now who's the asshole? I ain't a "Classic Man" or a plastic man or a passive man. Get yo ass kicked man Make a nigga run as fast as he can. Fuck around & get him thrown in the back of the van, aye! You could get disconnected for free. Give a damn what you were expecting from me. Keep it in mind when you step to the beat. When I'm dead you get a second to breathe. Chorus
