Oh I'm back
(Back)
Like I don't take breaks
(Breaks)
The world need more hope
(Hope)
I pray it ain't too late
I don't know what the plot is
But how do we stop this nonsense
I feel like it's causing too many problems
I'm running away from darkness
For the light I have a fondness
Cause life can be so cruel sometimes
That it will damn near make you heartless
But I still gotta grind regardless
Even though they doubt me like Thomas
And try to brush it off like Pontius
I might go off grid like the Amish
But keep my drip like a faucet
And stuff Benjamins in my wallet
I don't really think they know what they started
I'm a come in and shut down the party
So give me them rings like Sonic here
Or a big ring like Jordan ear
How am I this underrated now
My name seems so important here
Let me calm it down cause I'm wilding
Y'all know I'm hot like topic
Tell me how do you play it by the book
When life is
More or less
Like a comic
No logic
Everyone so psychotic
I feel/phil we not harmonic
Yet I find it ironic
That somebody asked me
What this genre is
And I don't even know what to call it
All I know is
I'm rising up while they falling
Showed up late
But I'm so glad that you kept stalling
So classy
This suit make me look fancy
Great like I'm Jay Gatsby
I'm more classic than Cathy
I won't pass it don't ask me
I need more points on the stand sheet
I don't need your approval to stamp me
Cause when I come around
It's a stampede
Look
You ain't never seen this strategy
So tell me
How do you battle me
I'm locked in
None of y'all can handle me
I'm so fly
I defy gravity
Deep inside of your imagination
Beating me is just a fascination
I'm too new
And improved
If you try me
You will lose
(To the hook now)
Oh I'm back
(Back)
Like I don't take breaks
(Breaks)
Y'all said I was dope
Now I 'gotta give you more
(Bass)
Some rappers be talking bout nothing
Man I just wish they could stop it
Can you get out of my lobby
Go find yourself a new hobby

New Year New Me

New Year, new me
Who are you boy
(Who are you)
If you in my way
You better move boy
(Move)
I don't ever miss a cue/queue/Q like ScHoolboy
(What)
Ain't no telling what I'mma do boy
Ha ha ha ha ha
I bet you thought you had me figured out
But
Nah nah nah nah nah
I'm way too unpredictable
I'm so fricken dope
I'll make you flick your nose
I got tricks up my sleeve like here's a rose
Whoa
It should be evident
I am so elegant
And focused on getting M's
Cause I couldn't get a Letterman back then
But now we moving up like the Jeffersons
I can't quit now cause if I do I won't get Severance
This year I'm tryna be one with the elements
And stay away from vibrations that I shouldn't meddle in
I'm shocked they do not relish in the present tense
Must've forgot that I'm hot and I'm heaven sent
What's a trend
I don't give a damn about being relevant
But then again
I'm tryna be the light with all this melanin
How can I go this hard
And still be considered a gentleman
No I ain't normal me and different are synonyms
New Year, new me
Who are you boy
(Who are you)
If you in my way you better move boy
(Move)
I don't ever miss a cue/queue/Q like ScHoolboy
(What)
Ain't no telling what I'mma do boy
Ha ha ha ha ha
I bet you thought you had me figured out
But
Nah nah nah nah nah
I'm way too unpredictable
You can keep the dough
I'mma keep my soul
They tryna butter me up cause I've been on a roll
No Roadhouse
I can make it hot when it's cold out
Slow it down
I'mma stand still strike a pose now
Became one with the elements you all exposed now
Even the Chemical Brothers say I'm out of control now
Curtis said "death is wished upon me" by Many Men
When you in the hood you die easier than Kenny 'nem
Some don't have a vision
I wish I could lend a lens to them
Some don't listen to truth I wish lend an ear to them
Some people scared to chase a dream
Mmm hmm
I guess failure put the fear in them
But I'mma
Still try to cheer for them
I'mma
Still be here for them
I'mma
Try to make a path clear for them
Cause once I make it you won't see me shed a tear for them
New Year, new me
Who are you boy
(Who are you)
If you in my way you better move boy
(Move)
I don't ever miss a cue/queue/Q like ScHoolboy
(What)
Ain't no telling what I'mma do boy
Ha ha ha ha ha
I bet you thought you had me figured out
But
Nah nah nah nah nah
I'm way too unpredictable

You ain't get the memo
I'm moving on
Out to get that Stilton Gold, Farm cheddar, and provolone
When I touch down I make it rain fire and brimstone
When I come around it's going down like syndrome
I be on a roll I never tire like Bridgestone
The way that I be dressing you would think I own Wishbone
Flow so freaking hot I be burnin' up y'all headphones
Everything Righteous around me like Gemstones
Yeah I'm rockin' out now Flintstones
I'm ballin' baby '06 Jim Jones
What I need a label for
Y'all ain't wanna help me then
Now y'all wanna work
Dawg, bájate de mi cojones
You ain't get the memo
I'm moving on out to get that Stilton Gold, Farm cheddar, and provolone
When I touch down I make it rain fire and brimstone
When I come around it's going down like syndrome
We all been trained not to believe in a dream
See what they did to X
See what they did to King
Dawg the highway crowded so I had to take the back street
If you know me then you know that's how I be
Yeah
It's crazy cause I don't like traffic
I don't like sitting still
My mind always active
No break from paying these bills
I hardly go out and party cause I be honing my skills
Even when you in the league you never stop running drills
Can I get an amen on that
(Amen)
Whoever would've thought a man like me could have so much appeal
My scars prove that over time all wounds heal
Look
When I be on the field
That Taurus stay concealed
I want that green like the grass/deGrasse and I ain't talking about Neil
I thought I told you all
That I was not to be played with
Yeah
I thought I told you all that I was far from basic
Yeah
I thought I told you all they acting like they hate it
Yeah
But they secretly admire me
I'm the one they aspire to be
They saying
He's so good
He's so good
He's so good
He's so good
You ain't get the memo
We moving on
Out to get that Stilton Gold, Farm cheddar, and provolone
When I touch down I make it rain fire and brimstone
When I come around it's going down like syndrome

Why it feel like everything I touch 'bout to turn gold
How I'm barely getting started and I'm shutting down the show
Dark skin but I keep the light don't you see how it glow
Didn't nobody wanna help us so we did it all alone
You can have that
They say I'm bringing rap back
If music was on Wall Street I'm S&P and NASDAQ
Money look like paper reams
I got all these fat stacks
All my Misadventures became Marvelous like Flapjack
How was I a thespian and I still don't know how to act
Labels leaving messages for me and I don't call them back
I be in my own world ducked off like where Wakanda at
My vision in the cosmos they asking me where Wanda at
If you not part of this you gon' be part of that
So if you not feeling me then your taste whack
Dawg it's too easy both eyes still close
I've been working hard so long I don't even get tired no more
Yea
Why it feel like everything I touch 'bout to turn gold
How I'm barely getting started and I'm shutting down the show
Dark skin but I keep the light don't you see how it glow
Didn't nobody wanna help us so we did it
All alone
All along
They been praying for my downfall all at home
They thought they were right
And I was wrong
But someone said what doesn't kill you
Make you strong
I be soaring on the track like Terrorsaurus
Turn the crowd into a choir
Got them singing every chorus
If we balling then I'm Jordan
If we fighting then I'm Foreman
Or Ali
It just depends on if you think age is important
Made a million off of portraits
Behind my brother's Porsches
Can't believe I got this far and I was supposed to be aborted
Call me Mister Luminorman
Cause I swear I'm out of orbit
If they music was on Wall Street
I swear they get shorted
They saying they be working but they all laying dormant
I got terabytes of music on drives I just recorded
I'm solid now my estate is worth a fortune
The debate whether I'm great will soon achieve a quorum
Not even at max form
I'm hardcore like
My fury's a woman scorned
'Bout that action Jason Bourne
Every time that I perform
I be stirring up a storm
You should see how many swarm to the state pages I be on
Somebody please tell me
Why it feel like everything I touch 'bout to turn gold
How I'm barely getting started and I'm shutting down the show
Dark skin but I keep the light don't you see how it glow
Didn't nobody wanna help us so we did it all alone
Why it feel like everything I touch 'bout to turn gold
How I'm barely getting started and I'm shutting down the show
Dark skin but I keep the light don't you see how it glow
Didn't nobody wanna help us so we did it all alone

Full Nelson

Like JVKE this my golden hour
Like Curtis Jackson I can show you power
Give me a beat and watch it get devoured
Hey dog be careful with all that courage I've seen men get a hole in they tooth and become a coward
I want the bag like Eustace
I still rep Houston
But live in the Ville now
I'm out here cruising I'm out here choosing
To work on improving instead of being stagnant
I leveled up my talent
The way that I attract that dough I feel like I'm a magnet
But life ain't all about money baby you got to find a balance
No longer playing victim now because of my father's absence
Life ain't fair we all get different rations
I promise you I'm going platinum
I had to say it on the track so I can play it back
And say I told you that this ish would happen
Rappers holding shift when they talking
Cause I swear they be capping
They can't give birth to new knowledge cause all them brothers barren
I run this like an errand
I run this like a chairman
I got the game on lock
I'm talking full nelson
You never seen a veteran
Be this freaking fresh man
I'm like a pocket full of peppermints
Straight out Houston Texas
I get them stacks like Tetris
I can't believe it's so effortless but it still come out so excellent
I'm walking round like the President
All black SUVs
Huh
Flow so gayt dang sick no STD
So get off my in N U T's
Huh
I'mma swipe that visa
Looking so damn clean here they might think that it's Easter
I'm glad that you unfollowed me cause I ain't like you either
You hung out with your savior but denied me like you Peter
Moving on
I got m's on my mind like Majin Vegeta
Why they have to go and ruin it by bringing in that heater
I was trying to put it together like I bought it at IKEA
Guess I gotta learn a new route like a traded wide receiver
I threw up a pile of ether on your speakers
They were skeptical about my dreams now they believers
I guess they had to see them
They all puppets anyway like Cousin Skeeter
Y'all characters in my story that was designed for the seer
Or reader or doers or hearer
I go deep inside a lore with all these flows that I explore
They asking when I'm gonna go on tour
Because I'm way too live to be closed behind a door
Yeah these Blueface Benjamins got me focused like Ford
My skin is black as the Moors
I'm out here working like chores
I'm out here making these beats
I got my hand on the chords
Yea I'm moving keys
My new routine could stunt your growth if you under 17
I'm moving weight boy
Yeah I'm dope and it's laced boy
I came to save hip hop I don't need a cape boy
You'd think we at the bakery with all this cake boy
They mad that I made it but um that's just fate boy
Don't tell me you ain't know
I run it like a errand
I run it like a chairman
I got the game on lock
I'm talking full nelson
You never seen a veteran
Be this freaking fresh man
I'm like a pocket full of peppermints
Straight out Houston Texas
I get them stacks like Tetris
I can't believe it's so effortless but it still come out so effortless
I'm walking round like the president
Everybody know me
Got respect worldwide and overseas
Jeez Louise

Pressure Bust Pipes

Pressure bust pipes
Flow mean but I'm still too nice
I popped up like a thief in the night
With deep cuts like a 12 foot knife
You think you cold sorry I'm dry ice
You think you good cause you got a couple likes
You think you bad cause you got a couple strikes
Must've forgot I set the bar so high
To reach my level you can't be afraid of heights
I got high off a check
Climbed up the social media ladder and broke my neck
When I fell off I tried to come back and gain my respect
Fame took me for a ride and I ain't got off yet
I tried to detox like cutting tree out
Don't smoke but I had to weed out the weakness
And get back on board like a rebound
Oh here we go now let's set this thing in motion
When I get on the track I call serious commotion
The dopeness will leave your nose broken
Like Contra you know I stay coasting
And just like postage I stay posted Southwest Legend in the making
No shortcuts on the journey that I'm taking
Had to clean up all the barriers I'm breaking
I'm working like a laymen bringing thunder like I'm Raiden
It started with a cake and we out here still baking
Cause pressure bust pipes
Yeah
Flow mean but I'm still too nice
I popped up like a thief in the night
With deep cuts like a 12 foot knife
You think you cold sorry I'm dry ice
You think you good cause you got a couple likes
You think you bad cause you got a couple strikes
Must've forgot I set the bar so high
To reach my level you can't be afraid of heights
It's crazy how these fallible men speak like they factual
I'm out here on a boardslide, fakie, ollie, manual
I know the in and out it's like I memorized the manual
My style wild like Thornberrys boy I'm an animal
I hit you with a random flow like a trap door
I gave 'em a lil' dope now they all want mo'
Oh, I heard hip hop was poison I'm the antidote
That ain't just no anecdote
Cut it like a cantaloupe
When I start releasin' I make rappers go in panic mode
They been sleepin' on me like Melatonin and Trazodone
Wake up answer the phone big daddy's home
They all got borrowed style so I leave 'em alone/ a loan
Oh my light never dim
Yeah I'm really him
Got drip like I swim
My flow so sick got you coughing up phlegm
Your chance at a win more slim than a Jim
Cause pressure bust pipes
Flow mean but I'm still too nice
I popped up like a thief in the night
With deep cuts like a 12 foot knife
So many bars got the song serving life
But I don't wanna be a stereotype
Is it art if you only do it for likes
Is it worth it if your soul is the price
Is my attention only the span of a swipe

War
02:25
|

Alright look
It's the return of the underground
I used to run around
H Town selling mixtapes now we move pounds
In amounts you can't even count
I'mma hold it down
I'm renowned
I'm a real king I don't need a crown
My prerogative is get a milli call me Bobby Brown
My Achilles I don't have one
I'm perfect all around
Overall I'm a real Kahn I don't mean Shao
Me making it was impossible but did it somehow wow
It be ya own people trying to out ya
It's sad that I gotta keep a pole like a jouster
Now I'm worldwide like an internet browser
The way I treat a line you would think that I'm a bouncer
I'm so insane cause I'm so insane
We took similar paths but we not the same
They ride the wave I made a lane
I took my time and endured the flame
Claimed my soul and ignored the fame
I hardly changed
Locked in my aim from a mile away
I traverse the trail and I ain't talking Chevrolet
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Let me calm down nah nah wait a minute uh
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Iight' cool let me let that thing breathe
I'm the best papa
Head knocker
Free of form like a dread locker
Give me cake Betty Crocker
I'm underrated
That's life not a shocker
But still did it my way call me Frank Sinatra
Yeah
Me on the beat is like Russian Ukraine
I torture this track I'm so inhumane
Gyat dang
I'm drawn to the money like a moth to a flame
It feel like I'm about to pull rap out the grave
Uh
Flow so dope you can put it on your nose
Now we moving keys like pushing round Rhodes
Ain't a DJ but I feel so chose
Niggas stay capping but they never get bold
Me spitting bars won't ever get old
I'mma make 60 off one video
Walking round feeling like I'm Rubi Rose
Some of y'all way too dense for the show
Some of y'all way too dense
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Let me calm down nah nah wait a minute
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Who want war with this guy
(No one)
Let me calm down nah nah wait a minute
Look you don't want war with this guy

Because I said so

Brothers

Sometimes I shed
Tears for my brothers
Tears for my brothers
It's been so much dread
Over the years for my brothers
Over the years for my brothers
Oh yeah we up high but we been low
Victories don't get talked about but failures might get pinned though
It's crazy how we only focus on negative info
And filled it out the good
(Hmm)
Will it take me out the hood
(Hmm)
I wanted to be the change
(Hmm)
But didn't know if I could
But shoulda coulda woulda ain't good
(Naw)
Came a long way from the hood
(Yea)
And they still try to bring me back every now and then
My thoughts tend to flood the cerebral cortex
Are all those demons at the door yet
They keep on knocking saying that your next
I guess they mad I'm not on board yet
Yea
But let them be mad
Cause it's easy to get lost if you don't take your own path
That's why I choose integrity over a bag
My people selling they soul is what's really making me sad
We glorifying them bars that's keeping us in the trap
And that's why
Sometimes I shed
Tears for my brothers
Tears for my brothers
It's been so much dread
Over the years from my brothers
Over the years from my brothers
Oh yeah we up high but we been low
Hard elastic hmm hmm I feel like I'm Diplo
Crocodile tears always greet me on my pillow
Water from my Willow Tree is fogging up my window
The song of inequality crescendo over my kinfolk
Aye how do we give birth to knowledge when we don't sleep with the info like a nympho
What a time to be alive and feel dead inside that's limbo
Aye he got played like Nintendo
Till the game was over like Flip tho
I bust a rhyme and flip mode
I recommend you all lay low
Cause they still coming round to your door knocking
And these demons will play you short no option
Leave money on your head no auction
Might have been better for us to be Family Guys
And head off on the road to Rhode Island
Sometimes I shed
Tears for my brothers
Tears for my brothers
It's been so much dread
Over the years from my brothers
Over the years from my brothers
Oh yeah we up high but we been low

(And I believe I can find more happiness with you)
Yea
Can you make me happy on a rainy day
If I'm hurt baby can you take all the pain away
Girl I need you
Naw it's more like I just have to have you
I've fein for you in a way a normal man can't even fathom
Woah now
I need to slow down and check my soul now
I rolled out of bed and called out your number so many times
I know now to speak in code now when your folks round
I might catch a case for this dope sound
Like I copied Homer
Flow hard that's a boner
How I got this popular but still I'm such a loner
Aye, give me that green Fiona
And give me some time to show up
I'm out here getting so high like this
And I don't even really much roll up
Brand new car doors go up
Neighbors looking at me like hold up
Never did show no love before
But wave now like they know us
I pop like shooken soda
I run the game no controller
And now that I'm finally here
They say please don't go like Mike Posner
Yeah
Can you make me happy on a rainy day
If I'm hurt baby can you take all the pain away
Girl I need you
Naw it's more like I just have to have you
I've fein for you in a way a normal man can't even fathom
Woah now
I need to slow down and check my soul now
I rolled out of bed and called out your number so many times
I know now to speak in code now when your folks round
I might catch a case for this dope sound
Like how can you be sober
When my run still ain't over
I got all this range
I'm out this world just like a rover
Yeah I spit truth Sojourner
Uh
I'm too hot that's a toaster
Look if you ain't talking about getting bread
Then I give you a cold shoulder uh
Brand new car doors
Go up neighbors looking at me like hold up
Never did show no love before
But wave now like they know us
I pop like shooken soda
I run the game no controller
And now that I'm finally here
They say please don't go like Mike Posner
So when I'm down can you lift me up
When I'm lost can you pick me up
Whenever you need some substance
Don't be shy just hit me up
They act like we don't exist but just too afraid to mention us
Cause me and you MJ Pipen
Or a bad kid in detention
Or a white man in the 1800s who was all about lynching us
I know that was dark but um
Can you make me happy on a rainy day
If I'm hurt baby can you take all the pain away
Girl I need you
Naw it's more like I just have to have you
I've fein for you in a way a normal man can't even fathom
Woah now
I need to slow down and check my soul now
I rolled out of bed and called out your number so many times
I know now to speak in code now when your folks round
I might catch a case for this dope sound
(Yeah that's right girl)

Innermission

Life is complicated I tend to overthink too much
Maybe I'm just being hard on myself and I don't think enough
Being glued to the screen got me feeling consistently stuck
I'd like to try my luck but got all these rhythms in my mind
I'm synchronized with time with every line
And each dollar that I earn don't seem to make sense
Is that a sign that it got me tied
At this age most dreams go to die
Why are mine alive
My biggest fear is failing and going back to a 9 to 5
The last time I was in an office I barely survived
That state of mind was where the Norman Sann you and I know derived from
My origin story so convoluted and confusing
Most people I know would have been gave up on music
And took the steady paid from a cube like Rubiks
This hustle don't come with no benefits
Just cash transactions at dealerships
Thumbing through so much paper I got cuts on all my fingertips
Like a barber I overcame adversity with just a clip
Aye
It's safe to say that life a
Who only ask for just a tip uh
My flow be sharp and Shannon every song I make be hard to skip
The packs that I be moving be so loud it be hard to ship
Hanging by a thread but I'm Peter Parker with the grip
At the expensive sounding like a Richard we don't pay for tricks
Niggas out here with allergies acting like they really sick
Life is hard enough as it is
Simple facts you ain't gotta be a whiz to get it kid
Hey look
I never hurt myself with good intention
I took a break for like a month that's an intermission
Dawg, flow be so dope you need an intervention
I take em on a field trip now we really ascending

Boston
02:28
|
|||
I got my mind on the green even though I never been to Boston
Uh huh
See I was raised in the south by southwest
I ain't talking Austin
I make you Marvel at the flow Brie Larson
I'm 'bout that bank like Hilary and Carlton
I am not from this world I'm a Martian
He thought he was married to the game but she divorced him
Aw a sad reality tragedy strikes again
When you're out there on the grind it's a couple ways it can end
See these labels wanna sign me cause they love the way I trend
But the problem with advances is the interest at the end
See I'm picky with my pen
I'm stingy with my stems
I make it look so easy cause all I do is win
To hate me is a sin
To find me is a gem
They miss when rap was good so let's make it good again
I liquidated my assets to gain more capital
My margin for error now seems so irrational
I detached myself from all the non tangibles
Cause non-intrinsic and property never seemed that valuable
Now my name travel like school girls passing notes
It's crazy how a year ago I was hella broke
But I was chilling though
I could've got all up in my feelings bro
And told myself I never leave Houston
But now we singing songs like
I got my mind on the green even though I never been to Boston
Uh huh
See I was raised in the south by southwest
I ain't talking Austin
I make you Marvel at the flow Brie Larson
I'm 'bout that bank like Hilary and Carlton
I am not from this world I'm a Martian
He thought he was married to the game but she divorced him
She told him bye bye bye
But you know boys don't cry
So he went back to the block
And got his hands on some fire
But he didn't get to move a pack this time
Because the same girl that left him ended up ratting him out
And that's why
The only dope that I pedal is over bass and some treble
I keep it hot as a kettle
I swear I might need a kennel
The way I dog instrumentals
Might have some lawsuits to settle
I have the mind of a genius
And the heart of a rebel
Swear I rock harder than pebbles
Now I rock harder than metal
You may need hundreds of ladders to try to reach my level
On god
You might have to be a daredevil just to see my feet
I take it beat by beat
I posted week by week
I gave him heat heat heat
Ain't on the Walk of Fame yet but my name out in the street
Ain't never been to Wisconsin
But all I want is cheese
I ain't never been to Boston
But all I want is green
That's why
I got my mind on the green even though I never been to Boston
Uh huh
See I was raised in the south by southwest
I ain't talking Austin
I make you Marvel at the flow Brie Larson
I'm 'bout that bank like Hilary and Carlton
I am not from this world I'm a Martian
He thought he was married to the game but she divorced him

Change Coming
03:20
|

Woke up this morning
Surely thought I heard that money calling
False alarm but I feel like something starting
It's either brewing
Or I'm just too obsessed with balling Wilson
If you sit down and listen
And pay real close attention
To the way that I be spitting
It sound like it's all written
Like I just came back from Britain
And William Shakespeare penned it
Might be the black Bob Dylan
If not then I'm on a mission
I'm of the titan fraction
We leave you stained like Clinton
I keep it real like Lincoln I say to hell with the system
I am sick without the symptoms
I serve it to you like Williams
My minds stay on quadrillions
I'm eons away from millions
But still I'm a civilized civilian
So much Zeni now we used to pinch for pennies wow
Used to have poco now I feel like we got plenty now
Had like two fans back in the day we got many now
I do my own thing
Don't care about being trendy now
My plate full used to be so empty
These tracks moving weight yeah they hitting Jenny
Boy I am extending
Extenze-ing never limp I keep it limpid
I stand on business
Like I stood on the shoulders of the richest
We at the intersection of who is this
I don't know he sound like Andre Eminem and Ludacris
Mixed with a little bit of um
What's his name I forgot who cares
Norman Sann in his own lane
Swerving through the city
I got my music hella loud
Now I don't care that the streets
This busy
Change coming
Baby you can feel it in the air
Oh you can feel it in the air
Something is truly brewing in the air
Somebody once told me I only needed myself
So when I ask for a quote and you don't respond
I just feature myself
I treat a stereotype like a virgin
I beat it myself like I never needed no help
Flow get nasty you might need a napkin
Boy y'all drip so ass you drip
Acid boy y'all niggas some industry plants
Nobody was asking for the way I flip the script
It made sense
I did gymnastics for like 3 months and quit
I was really doing tricks off the balance board
I ain't got time for no bull I ain't no Matador
Buddy I'm a Cane Corso so you just a Labrador
If you want smoke I turn the Bangalore
Every time I rhyme they be like Norm aye what you vaping for
I just did a brand deal you won't believe what I'm making for it
It's crazy how fan love is what rappers hating me for
Something to play with is not what they taking me for
I ain't no dildo I just want the ring like Bilbo
Aye can we keep it civilized
I don't move with the tide
I do what I want yeah I do what I like
Make a whole lot more than notorious lights to get me hypnotized
Pour that Bourbon need I do not need no ice
Lo que necesito es more life
Porque for the first half of mine
Dawg I was not living right
Even your top 5 rappers say Norman Sann flow nice
And if your top 5 dead I bet they spirit coincide
As you play this song when you
Swerving through the city
I got my music hella loud
Now I don't care that the streets
This busy
Change coming
Baby you can feel it in the air
Oh you can feel it in the air

Lord bless this nation
Bless all creation
All I need in this life of sin is a mic and a DAW
Cause I don't need a pen
Who I am now is not who I was back
Then these gems go over your head
Listen close my friend
I give it to you raw just like adult film stars
I don't need a chart to prove I got bars
Wanting smoke with me is rare like Cuban cigars
I am Above The Law I feel like Steven Seagal
Never needed a hand so you can hold your applause
You all comparing me to peons now I feel appalled
Good Lord I see the writings on the wall now ahh now
We ain't on no London Bridge
But we gonna let it fall down
They closed so many doors on me that we gonna tear them all down
Now I'm about to ball like screw it I'm going bald now
Yeah I think I got me a classic
Lately I've been snapping like Vlasic
I go hard these other rappers are flaccid
I'm on the rise now gon' call me Lazarus hmm yeah
I think I got me a classic
I think I got me a classic
I'm back up on my Dilla ish
They said I was ill equipped
But they look at me now like I'm the melanated Eminem
I'm one hell of a specimen but then again
Go check out my resume and see the folk who recommend me
Yeah go on and settle up
I got all this green inside my eyes I feel like Buttercup
I don't just want one so I go ahead and I double up
Flow so cold you huddle up
Digging in the crates I dug it up
Like inflation I run it up
I'm really out here climbing the ladder of social media rappers
I convert them into cadavers and put they head on a platter
My levels at the Master surpassing that of a Bachelor
Lyrically I am Howard, Princeton, Harvard, and Stanford
They yell/Yale at me and scramble
Cause when I come around
Some brothers be getting grim like Gretel and Hansel
Yeah I think I got me a classic
Lately I've been snapping like Vlasic
I go hard these other rappers are flaccid
I'm on the rise now go and call me Lazarus hmm yeah
I think I got me a classic
I think I got me a classic

Yeah I'm up like Pixar
(Pixar)
Flow hard like Beskar
(Beskar)
I'm blowing up like Death Star (death star)
Hating on me won't get far
I'm out of this world like a quasar
I put bars/barres on chords like a guitar
My flow get mean like Adolf yeah
I'mma shut it down like Kmart uh
Flow so dope it's a 8 ball uh
I want the green like Reptar
To see that all my hard work paid off yeah
So give me that
Bag bag bag bag bag
Give me that bag bag bag bag baby
Yeah
Look I want the bag like Badu
(Erykah)
Flow so sick achoo
(God bless)
Work hard like I got 10 kids
Ain't no tellin' what I'm 'bout to do
Wait a minute man
Wait a minute you can't just make this song with all these random sections like this man this is confusing
Well be confused then
I'm from the southwest side of Houston
But my swag got a little East Coast
I'm universal like Lucian
I can't believe God gave me this much range
When I die they gon' study my brain
Even Ye say I'm insane
Even they say hold up wait a minute
Who's that guy right there
Woah ma'am please don't stare
My bag way too deep
My skill set so unfair
Pshh get a load of this guy right here
Pshh get a load of this guy right here
Pshh get a load of this guy right here
Pshh get a load of this guy
What is this
It's the move baby
What is this
New groove baby
What is this
I'm too smooth baby
What is this
It's me baby
We maybe have let nonsense run amok in hip hop lately
So here I come with that old school sound over a break so I can beat everybody down
I gotta keep it clean like some AJAX
The only thing I know is straight fax like a Xerox
Jumping on this beat like a b hop
Hit it like I'm B Hop producing like I'm Pete Rock
I stay on my toes like clean socks when it tend to freeze out
I'm the bee's knees I take the queen spot
My lines make them itch like a dog getting fleas out
I'm on a level higher than Snoop when you bring weed out
I'm not to be played with cause I ain't no toy
I ain't no toy yeah
I'm not to be played with cause I ain't no toy

Dream
02:59
|
|||
Can you dream with me
Dream with me
Come on baby now dream with me
Fly with me to a galaxy far beyond the cosmos
Somewhere where time moves slow
Somewhere where people don't judge you for trying to do more than what you doing right now
Cause right now I'm just chilling keeping it low key
Trying to make that dough see I got that dope
I just hope people don't OD
See the old me would've told y'all something way more cute
But I got down to the root
And found out
The chords hit different when they way more brute
Other rappers could never emulate being this astute
Hip hop is the gum and I'm the tooth
It's fire in this booth like I started a fire in this booth
Niggas be saying they the best but we got liars in the booth
I'm a real killer Mike Myers in the booth
Snatch a nigga soul Shang Tsung, Will Byers in the booth
Like tires in the booth we keep this thing rolling
I'm the Sire in the booth
See my status grows higher in the booth
But sometimes I gotta take a step back to find out if that's really true
Cause I don't believe in myself like I'm supposed to
I met a lot of my heroes lately and they say don't meet your heroes for a reason
It got me to thinking
Why am I not working as hard during the off season
I don't know dawg this is really getting introspective
I'm deeply reflecting and truly analyzing my perspective
While addressing emotions that I previously rejected
So can you dream with me
Yeah
Come on and dream with me
Yeah
Dream with me
Why
Did I set my standards up so high
And fed myself all those lies
Why
Did I dine
With Beelzebub after all this time
Something in my mind told me we'd be fine
So I accepted that and moved on
Told myself I'd play for just a little bit but I stayed in the sandbox way too long
Got burnt
These 3rd degrees can't be healed with surgery
I stepped up to the plate cause they was all turds to me
Straight waste
What a shame
We got people out there with a large appetite and cooks with no taste
At this pace/paste y'all gon' run out of stuff to copy
And you gon' need a new hobby
You gon' need a new story to tell
You gon' need a new posse
Just like they needed a new Hokage
I guess Norman Sann the third after Kakashi The 9th wonder
At night I wonder why I can't get comfortable in slumber
I toss and turn thinking about that one summer when I did absolutely nothing
What a bummer
Hanging around girls who was bragging about having BeatKing's number
I made music too
They just don't wanna play it cause it didn't bang in the Jeep
So I tried making my songs a little bit more "crunker"
A lot less intellectual and way more dumber
I couldn't do it so I went back to 24 with Josh and working on my jumper
That's real specific
But when you this prolific at freestyling you just spew out the words that you giving
I don't even know how to let this song go on for three minutes but uh
Can you dream with me
Can you dream with me eh eh eh with me eh

Cosmic Dance
02:19
|
|||
I still fear growing old
In this realm
The inevitable's cold
Oh
So get your space shoes on
And get ready for a cosmic dance with me
Ascending high for eternity
Sit back and gaze (gaze) in admiration
I'm in my zone (zone) and I don't need validation
Faces look up high to celestial places
We can't have conversations cause they don't know what Grace is
What an introspective sight I share
Gold illuminance light here
Travel to my dimension is gonna take light years
Tales of unity's strength taking flight here here
I'm tiptoeing over the moon
In my Jordans while recording y'all
Look how hard I fell (fall) back to earth and not well off
Wanna get rich like them and stack that green just like it's kale
I'm grinding like I'm on a rail
I am monumental
I'm next up if you can't tell
I kill a beat then post bail
And even though all that's true
I still fear growing old
In this realm
The inevitable's cold
(So cold)
Oh
So get your space shoes on
And get ready for a cosmic dance with me
Ascending high for eternity
Among the constellations our story has begun
A journey through the galaxies of marathons to run
What matters has yet to come
Universal decree told us to break the chains
Setting my niggas free indeed
Dawg I possess so much steeze
I can make people believe
I'm the best rapper alive
Just by you hearing me breathe
Alright the case and the curtain closed
I didn't show up to the Grammy's this year cause I was too busy painting the globe gold
Dawg Y'all couldn't catch up to me even if I was moving in slow mo
I ate every single beat I've ever been on you could just call me ocho
Mi gente sabe que estoy loco
I'll be somewhere over the rainbow like Dorothy and Toto
And even know all that's true
I still don't have a home
In this realm
The inevitable's cold
(So cold)
So get your space shoes on
And get ready for a cosmic dance with me
Ascending high for eternity

B Side

I got ADHD
Loli loli loli pop
Tell me you were ready
But I'm looking in your eyes and I notice you're not ready to go
Switching the radio station
Brought a new melody into the room
Good evening groovy listeners you tuned into the sounds of the underground
Where the beats are hot and the vibes are cool
And tonight we got a special treat for y'all
So sit back and turn that volume up
As we boogie down with the cake man
Hey darling I left you stranded in the aisle
When I came back you was gone
I heard you stayed for a while
I see the tables have turned
I guess I stepped in a pile
The only thing to do now for me is to get out of town
And when I leave will you remember the words
I whispered tenderly into your ear
Now we gon' be haunted by those memories
Don't cry for me
Cause I ain't worth your tears
365 days without me is a perfect year yeah
Save the waterworks I know right now it kinda hurt
But later on you'll find out
There's plenty fish inside the earth
I think the saying is in the sea
I messed it up silly me
And that just goes to show you
Just out jumbled up my mind
And when I leave will you remember the words
I whispered tenderly into your ear
Now we gon' be haunted by those memories
Don't cry for me cause
I ain't worth your tears
365 days without me is a perfect year

White Dress
03:16
|

Why dress in a white dress
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Why dress in a white dress
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
You know how many people I've seen get married and be divorced by the first year
A lot
You know how many folk I've seen plan an extravagant wedding and then at the last minute they pull out
Too many to count
I ain't got the many fingers on me
It's a shame
I've been a pallbearer more times than I've been a guest at a wedding and that's just lame
I tell it like it is
I ain't here to report on what happened I leave that to Lois Lane
And I ain't Superman
And neither is he baby
So you can come down from that fantasy you sitting on
They want real music back it's been too long
But since you've been gone I created this new lane
I don't even know what I'm on
I don't even know what this song is
She been dreaming about this day since she was a kid
But then I come and ruin it by saying look baby
Why dress (Why)
In a white dress (Dress)
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Why dress (Why dress)
In a white dress (Ohuh)
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
What's the point in tradition if you traditionally getting left at the altar
Yo no se
IDK
Maybe you wanted an upside down kiss like Mary Jane
Or maybe you wanted to be Gwen Stacy
I heard you was at the bar looking all stately
He said he wanted space so he left you so spacely
And it really made makes me wonder
Why (Why baby)
Why dress (Get all dressed up)
In a white dress
When it all
Can come crashing down so fast
Oh the frames from our past make me laugh
And afraid of the shadows they cast
These vows that we gave supposed to last
But don't nobody care and that makes me sad
So why dress (why dress)
In a white dress (in a white dress)
Oh oh da doo da da da
Why dress (why)
In a white dress (dress)
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Maybe it's not the color
Maybe it's the dreams we cast
Or project on the whole institution of marriage
I don't know
We we just gone let that sit for a second
Oh
Oh
Why dress
In a white dress
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Why dress
In a white dress
Oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
There she go again in the white dress
Saying that she pure and innocent
Knowing damn well that she not
Knowing damn well that she not

Nature So Giant
03:00
|

Never had a lot
I had to stretch my dollar like knit
Ain't a myth what I did on the block
Came up hard like steel
Could've lost my life to a cop
Had an elbow stuffed in the trunk
But that was a routine stop
Thank God that he didn't have a
Thank god that I didn't get
But what young man really knows what's right
And is he known to just riot
Where his hands built for war
Was his mind made to be violent
Two ears and only one mouth
Was a man made to be silent
These trees high five the clouds
To a man nature so giant
You gave it away
Now you want it all back
You told me we cool
But was it all just an act
You gave me your train of thought
But somehow we fell off track
Don't front too much when you speak
Cause some words you can't take them back
We stumble
We fall
But it's up to us to try and stand tall
Cause time fades away so fast
There's no way to have it all
Way too loud
I can't even hear a sound
No white flags in the air for surrender now
I'm way too proud
But what young man really knows what's right
And is he known to just riot
Where his hands built for war
Was his mind made to be violent
Two ears and only one mouth
Was a man made to be silent
These trees high five the clouds
To a man nature so giant

The Real You
02:08

Eyes don't lie
Cause they don't speak
They don't speak
They don't speak
Hmm
You're mine sometime
Yet you're free
You're free
You're free
My arms open wide
But they don't see
Don't see
Don't see
The real you—you never show
Oh oh
You sold your soul to be beautiful
Oh oh
My eyes don't lie
Cause they don't speak
They don't speak
They don't speak
Hmm
You're mine sometime
Yet you're free
You're free
You're free
Woah
My arms are open wide
But they don't see
Don't see
Don't see
The real you
The real you
The real you

Shadows
Cast
A still image of my past
I've seen cash go
Fast
Gotta have fun with it cause it won't last
Shadows
Cast
A broken image of my past
I've seen cash go
Fast
Gotta have fun with it cause it won't last
In the chains
Of endless scrolling bound by likes
My freedom's floating away
Will it change
These filters mask my true reflection
So obsessed with validation
My spirit and my heart began to sway
One day you're here one day you're not uh
One day you cold one day you hot uh
One day you on top but then one day you drop
One day it feel like you can't miss
But then one day you flop
Check it out
We all came to this earth from the dirt
We return to the dust where we came from
Um even if you bank like Bezos
Um everybody must/musk like Elon uh
The reaper can't take your visa to him
You are just a peon that is a fact we sleep on
We see that text and read on
Some believe we get reborn
While others ignored and yawn at the thought of a breaking dawn
I write a song that goes on for pages long
If you got a bone to pick with me alright cool then pick your favorite bone
I got so many voices inside my head
I picked my favorite tone and ran with it
My flow so got darn hot you catch a tan with it or tan from it
I just spit it however I get it
I form a sentence and non formal sentences
I reinvent it
Naw, I'm more like Aang with all these flows that I be bending
Way too many of us pretending like we winning
When in fact we know the ending takes us back to the beginning
Right were all the
Shadows
Cast
A broken image of my past
I've seen cash go
Fast
Gotta have fun with it cause it won't last
In the chains
Of endless scrolling bound by likes my freedom's floating
Away
Will it change
These filters mask my true reflection
So obsessed with validation
My spirit and my heart began to
Sway
Shadows
Cast
A broken image of my past
Life goes
Fast
Gotta make the most of it 'cause it won't last

Grass
03:05
|
|||
Roses are red
A rose is red
When you feeling blue
Only when you're down though
The grass ain't much greener on the other side
With you
Oh
In a desperate attempt to avoid sounding cliche
I'mma just turn the volume up and sing it my way
I don't give a damn if I'm off key
I'mma still let the melody play
Cause I know very well that every love song make the pain go away yeah
Grandma's juice
In my cup
Take a sip pour it up
Ask for forgiveness when tomorrow comes
But tonight we'll have fun
Roses are red
A rose is red
When you're feeling blue
Only when you're down though
The grass ain't much greener on the other side
With you
Oh
I can't get back the time we spent together and the places we went to
Some of the things we both did we wasn't into
We downplayed things we've been through
Gas lit each other so much much I'm surprised we didn't die from the CO2
We danced so close to the edge it's a miracle nobody fell off the roof
I've come to the conclusion
That not every single love song takes the pain away
Sometimes you gotta face
The skeletons in your closet
The monsters under your bed
The ghost in your attic
The demons in your basement
The secrets in your diary
All of the shadows in the hallway
And those awful cobwebs in the corners
Whispers in the walls
The echoes in the chamber and the body in the trunk
The trash in the dump
The footsteps in the empty room
And the secrets buried in the garden
That's Rick and Morty
Grandpa's brew
In my mug
Take a sip pour it up
Seek His wisdom when tomorrow comes
But tonight we'll have fun
Roses are red
A rose is red
When you're feeling blue
Only when you're down though
The grass ain't much greener
On the other side
With you
Oh
Roses are red
When you're feeling blue
And the grass ain't much greener
On the other side
With you hmm

Starlight Gaze
03:06
|

In the dawn of a shattered dream
We held on to a fantasy
Fragile threads
Oh
I get so stuck in my head
Sometimes
I can't let go
I got a real problem holding on
My hopes so god damn high I'm tryna float
Then I realize
I can't get two feet above the floor
Oh
Oh oh oh
I still can't believe you wanted to be free
But told me you adored the chains we wore
My heart is on clearance now
You screwed up my spirit now
I can't have no one else around
Starlight Gaze
Oh my days
Let's not move too fast
Cause we might misbehave
This empty bed so cold
I get so stuck in my head
Sometimes
I wanna move on
But lately it feel like time going slow
Some days I be high some days I'm low
Tryna get my feet back on the floor
Oh oh oh oh oh
Tryna get my feet back
Tryna get my feet back on the floor
Tryna get my feet back on the floor
Tryna get my feet back
Tryna get my feet back on the
Starlight Gaze
Oh my days
Let's not
Move too fast
Cause we might
Misbehave
I still can't believe you fell for someone new
You told me that was something that you'd never do
Lied your way with a Starlight gaze
I'm just tryna pick up where we left it babe
