    Rivers run deep 

    Yea they run deep 

    till they run dry  (x2)

    (till they run dry, till they run dry )

    Rivers run deep 

    Yea they run deep 

    till they run dry 

    (till they run dry )

    It’s only you, on my mind

    (on my mind)

    Hold my hand bae 

    Toes in sand bae

    Moments going by 

    (Moments going by )

    Rock your body bae 

    (rock, rock, rock)

    Rather not sleep 

    If you aint docked by …

    (If you aint left side)

    If you aint left side

    Watch the moon turn sun before my eyes 

    It’s only you… on my mind (x2)

    She see on both sides like Chanel

    It’s only you

  • How soon they forget about the value in us
    Though not long after they’ll see that you wasnt wrong
    In the meantime they paint you as the proper villain 
    Like peace aint what ya fighting for all along… 

    And I understand  That Im hurtful in your eyes
    Im just straight forward my love
    Try and try , Pour until the well dry 
    Cant deny, see when play Willfully blind

    But thats alright 
    Before you turn your back on me
    Before you turn your back on me can you admit it …
    Before you turn your back on me

    Before you turn your back on me
    can you admit I loved you more I love you harder 

    Before you turn your back

    Ima let you work that out 
    I feel bad you hurting now 
    I be blind to love sometimes
    Trip out and do shit that benefit the beneficiary all without 

    Reciprocity 

    Shit dont work out for me until I spell it out exactly how I mean 

    R
    Do we have it
    E
    SPE (Uh huh)
    Do we C T

    RESPECT 
    360 degrees 
    Like Im speaking mandarin and this chick aint Chinese 

    Before you turn back on me 

    I hope you know 
    I dont take this shit personal 
    I think this the parents work it aint my place to tell you though 

    Prolly need a certified PSYC with pen and pad to pen some notes then analyze the truths inside the lies from your confessionals 

    Because you hide 
    Misdirect and lie
    Paint a picture different then the truth that you see with your eyes 
    Unless the way you say that you percieve shit aint lie 

    And really think theres motive in my motion when I try 
    Like I never really loved and that shit was all pretend 

    Like I wasnt genuine 
    When you know that aint case here
    you dint wanna here my case
    You Rather play the victim this way you could save face

    Im tired of you tryn flip shit and pull wool over my face
    Especially when Im doing more than I should in the first place

    But before you turn your back on me
    Before you turn your back on me you must admit it 

    Before you turn your back on me

    Before you turn your back on me you must admit I loved you more I loved you harder

    Baby

  • Lately i ain’t been into clubbing,

    Them invites I be dubbing 

    Really just in the cut studying 

    Love being in element

    All in my zen and shit 

    Me taking hiatus’s dont effect the penmanship

    Still jot down that…

    Classic shit in my passé tempo 

    Pass the time catching tempos

    She cant go 

    Niggas gotta fall under these line like limbo. 

    Mine punching, bite a slice of these 16 like the late Kimbo”

    11 how the XV assemble 

    Crescendo it go up 

    Like fuck hold up 

    bulldozed through rock bottom like excavation 

    I’ve been on point like exclamation 

    Spliff lit up

    used to bag that shit up to dedication 

    24 hours filled prescriptions up like medication 

    Niggas do to much staging like graduation 

    Mine still like meditation 

    Still patient 

    Still decoding the best route out the matrix 

    Still understand to believe none what they say and shit

    Half of it make believe 

    Words used to deceive 

    gotta discern to see 

    Was in the Oddysee

    Tryna find my way to reclining g550 seats

    Not the plane but I’ll take it 

    Not they lane so I over take ‘em… 

    They sleep so wake em 

    Came along way from the block still

    But the block but still…

    The block still shaken 

    American

    Idol no Clay Acken 

    It ache inside if they’re spirit

    I bet it hurt em to hear it 

    Nerve of these niggas 

    shoulda known I use the truth as the spear 

    And I’ve been spearing

    Working on shit, I can’t help em’ they stuck last year 

    Too loquacious evoking passion too much cuz I care 

    Tryna uplift show em right from wrong it got me no where 

    So now he flying solo / (fly and solo)

    Cause how he tryna mentor when he’s Han’s Solo / (high and solo)

    Just go and find Yoda

    Gotta submit to a master to be a master …

    Hov told ya 

    You fit for disaster if you don’t stick to the blueprint, with the plaster 

    The clues left behind the greatness 

    Like a shadow … or a struggle with lateness 

    Coaxing the vision 

    Posted up in the paint 

    Got the jersey

    On and I’m winning 

    How I see myself?

    They asked I respond grinning 

    Built myself by being student all 

    And dodging the wrong women 

    Know that all men are just average after all 

    And all comes down to the habits that you form 

    Know that floor you on ain’t the floor you gotta get off

    Them elevators gone shut and keep elevating 

    Gotta loose something to gain 

    Many levels to this game 

    Just keep on playing 

  • Foot on they neck and they ass 

    I understand they hating 

    I feel the Gary Patton 

    I gotta tied of waiting

    Started kicking in doors 

    I’m unning all four quaters 

    I got that dog in me 

    On point and point guard

    Im hard stepping on ya operation

    Been paitent 

    got Tiered of waiting

    I been done lacing 

    You face it

    The shot I clock will have the boom basing 

    Base booming

    Bun B in they system got em leaning

    Trampolining 

    They head cant stop 

    Bumping 

    To the beat and dead drops 

    Dance on they head tops 

    Im Calulated 

    Shit aint calculous 

    Niggas grabbing they’re calculator

    One plus one that equal 2

    Been callin it simple math 

    And the air so thick in this room 

    Could grab a hedge clipper 

    Cut through 

    Nothing close to congruent 

    Shadow that I cast will blast em with cool 

    Cause niggas thought they was hot 

    Had to show em they not 

    Nyc fucking up all of these Atl spots 

    I hear the chatter

    Still I cook up like batter

    It dont matter 

    To my level try to climb 

    Ya ladder cant reach ya body splatter

    Witnesses scatter 

    I been had

    The g5 on the radar always 

    Ckuz I remember piss in the bk hallways 

    Van Wyck  took us to the side of addesleigh 

    Van Wyck  took us to the side of addesleigh 

    Shit wasnt valet 

    But the bars always Made em stretch like balet 

    First you work for it 

    and get that systems tight 

    Then it work for you 

    Thats assuming you get it right 

    This level took alot, 

    Im just the type to put up a fight 

    8 times could drop 

    Im the type to get up nine 

    Me and 11XV sturdy we on them charts 

    Lights from the balcony shine when all else dark 

    The kelp still spark

    Another human tryna Break vice  

    Still some bad habits gotta deport like ice 

    3 blind mice leading the blind I cant follow

    These niggas heads too hollow 

    Belly of the beast been swallowed 

    I cant digest

    The type shit that impress em 

    Life send fully clothed lessons you gotta undress em 

    Buried skeletons in the back you gotta address em 

    Situation ever get sticky, know how to finesse em 

    Northside of queens made the mines

    He blew up off, pause 

    If these back blocks could ever talk

    The story would fucking shake ya 

    In fact itd be fucking awesome 

    tales These icee nights might frost em

    Some loved, some lossed em

    Some took a straight back block 

    Some crossed em 

  • Obvious

    Obviously Ima seek forever before temporary 
    I dont be carrying ex…pectations based off experiences with my exes into new stories 
    Dont try to you sure me
    Or ensure me
    I rely upon my own metrics 
    You give me the blocks 

    I land it in the right spot like testris 
    Far from stressing
    I peep it, and I reply based off my lessons 

    I wont deny my blessings
    l put my pride to the side from time to time so i could listen 
    But i expect the same respect Im giving 

    Aint into to 
    saving face and all that truth bending 
    Perspective flipping so I dont see you bad
    Thats when youll see me mad, 

    not when you show honesty and lead with that
    I dont got rules bae just land mines 
    Except you
    You step on one these it’s far less violent

    A Glass maker
    Instal a glass ceiling upon your head top
    And call it fininished…
    even if we just finished the foundation 

    I want ya authenticity 
    Its levels to what you get from me 
    And heights that you just cant reach if you aint meant for me 
    Cant be in that seat if you aint the right fit for me 

    Picture me settling 
    For anything less than benevolence 
    Uncomfortably sharing air with rudeness and negligence 
    Of the standard 

    Far too underdressed and mismanaged  
    Couldnt be me 
    degree speaking If ya,

    angle is just a cute (acute)
    face 
    I gotta untie we just cant lace it 
    You Too obtuse i rather be... 
    footloose Than chase ya
    Plays im drawing you 

    You just cant trace em

     Greatness 

    Adjacent

    Meaning thats what im facing
    I cant be in 
    If we aint that in making 
    You thought I could or I would then your sadly mistaken

    Been taken for fool
    But the jokes on you 
    Ckuz your pious is a cloak that just dont fool 
    You obvious 

    Feining chastity 
    The audacity 
    Bibble verses in your bio 
    But your pictures and your dms speak in  

    Another style
    Ass facing the camera as you bend down 
    Mad at me ckuz I see it for what it is and it is just what it is its obvious 

    Aint My fault you gotta kick it down stairs where the lobby is 
    Coulda took the elevator up with me -
    Now I guess, the views gotta be through the hues of the glass ceiling 

    Last grain slid down the neck if the hour glass 
    Tried to throw rocks and hide hand now ya biting dust
    Its glass slipper or a glass ceiling its obvious
    I thought it was me and you 
    Found out it could not be us
    Just not the right fit for a boss its obvious

  • Is yall niggas into fashion or yall playing dress up?

    Its hard to spot to spot the difference 

    Shit getting ridiculous its really outta hand 

    Prolly just dont understand but

    finger nail painted man hands can’t get a handshake

    Maybe these niggas… is just futuristicc

    Shit i guess that im jurassic

    Old fashiomned 

    the difference too drastic 

    Walk with your chick on the outside of the street type of bastard

    I can’t relate to y’all

    I know real niggas wearing kevlar 

    You boys went from marmots to Telfars

    I wouldn’t put it past em

    Ima wolf in a sheep pasture 

    Wouldnt even, beed sheeps clothes they aint paying attention

    Too in tune with that feminine

    Niggas really women men

    Whats gotten in to em

    What, happened to money longer uzi

    These the new streets

    (It’s just a difference you know?

    Between us and them. 

    They’re just on some different type of timing.)

    Break—-

    Bound by universal laws

    Down on the paws pause 

    A real woof howler 

    Hunting for fowl and I’m in a state of mind that’s valiant

    And I feel astounding 

    I’m thanking god for who’s round me, 

    Lord I found me

    Was in the ocean waves crashing all around me 

    Cycles came

    Spun round again and again…

    Things got violent 

    I still elevated out it

    Still elevating higher 

    Still swinging on the raptors 

    Phantom of the opera

    Still battle tested 

    Went my own way I had manifested 

    I collected 

    had a plan, missed a couple dots 

    But still a lot connected still

    Watching Dr.sebi got the pot protected still

    John proctor said it 

    Watch for the witches 11:11 made us some wishes came true 

    Was in the Birds Eye blue 

    Watches and wonders, I flew 

    down to the A 

    The rest was history 

    Now I’m plotting on maybachs 

    With The squad 

    Off of line graphs and charts

    Yes lord 

  • Seen niagara falls splashing 

    Make many streams of magic

    Like Mercedes G class from the honey seat Honda Oddyssey dash flashing

    Promise it all could happen 

    Just keep gas mashing 

    But keep the gas mask so you dint get gassed or winded 

    Commodore wings spread under thermals winds 

    Warm our feathers we at a different height 

    With all my might, 

    I pray up and stay there

    Stay up, look down only if prey there

    Eyes to the horizon all other timing 

    on timing 

    Up early Stars shining, 

    getting a taste of glory from the morning

    from the morning

    Mmmmhmmm

    Morning

    Mourning all those fallen who didn’t get to taste today 

    That on mind, how could i ever waste the day away

    This little light of mine gone gotta shine, 

    gone gotta make a way 

    Long as i made the day 

    He shines his light on me and on we 

    Im just a mere reflection 

    Im just a Mirror reflecting

  • Yea

THE EXPLICATION

This project was never planned, yet somehow it was destined. Serendipitous in every sense. It all began with a song that sounds nothing like the rest—yet somehow belongs exactly where it is. Every track fell into place effortlessly, each one flowing into the next like chapters already written.

BEHIND THE ARSTIST

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
