I stay in my lane and that's never gonna change
I be spilling my pain just to get through the day
I don't care what they say, I'm gonna go my own way
And ride my own wave till the day I'm in the grave
I'm here to take the dub
But if I take an L, I don't trip about it much
And if they talk about it, I don't care what they say
I'ma go my own way till the day I'm in the grave
That's me finding solace in these drum breaks
Numbing pain, getting dumb faded bumping Mudvayne
Some say I go nuts, others think I'm a nutcase
Homie I'm ambitious you can see it in my young face
But some days I wake up and feel like a ghost
Thinking where did my friends go, hearing nothing but an echo
Grab my headphones, keep my head low and vibe at my own tempo
I've been wicked with the pencil since the get go
And if I impress folks, I'm glad I could do that
If you're tryna diss the boy, I recommend that you move back
Ain't no slack, you know we steady packing the heat
Stacking the cheese, wreaking all this fucking havoc with ease
I got a radical steeze and I might just smack an emcee
On every track I'm going mad, guess I'm a natural beast
You see for me, killing the beat is just a casual thing
I know my path ain't chasing after some irrational dream
Tackling demons every night, I would say I do it nicely
Don't be looking for me, I be soaring tryna find peace
That or I'm recording tryna organize my psyche
To set my wild mind free, I formulate these rhyme schemes
And merk shit in the session, this is more than just a pipe dream
Nineteen feeling blessed and prepared for whatever life brings
On the rise with a pocket full of dreams
I ain't stopping for a thing till my wallet's full of green, yeah

So here is my analysis
My brain's fucking rattled but I'm faded feeling fabulous
Unraveling my thoughts around the clock, I stay passionate
This life is something else, at least the tunes help me fathom it
I've had it with the small talk, been tryna find serenity
Mentally haven't been at ease since seventeen
I'm twenty going strong with a pocket full of hella dreams
Following my destiny, concocting up a legacy
Yo, rawness is the recipe
See when I'm down, I fetch a beat
Loop it and go stupid, try to let it out and let it be
Better things are coming, I'm just humming to the melodies
Strumming on a set of strings and buzzing off the lettuce
Thinking big, I'm one to aim high
I promise you I'm not the same guy I was a year ago
But that's growth, what can I say
I can't be fazed by the shit that they be talking through the grapevine
I got bigger fish to fry, homie I don't waste time
I don't waste my time on broken promises, promises
I've been on the low, yeah staying in my zone
Tryna find my way home, home
Staying ten toes down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Ten toes down
Yeah, there's certain goals I ain't hit yet
I'm perplexed bout how all my emotions ain't fixed and
How I think I'm growing, but oh man I've been an omen
To the ones I love, now I'm loathing
Pondering if I'ma see the gates that are golden
Frozen, stuck in my tracks, tryna find my way back in motion
To be the man that was chosen to be the greatest
This shouldn't be a debate
My mind has been corroded, break away from them traits
Honing in on the commotion, finding peace in the chaos
This is just a notion that the hard work finna pay off
I don't waste my time on broken promises, promises
I've been on the low, yeah staying in my zone
Tryna find my way home, home
Staying ten toes down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Ten toes down, yeah

Nighthawk
02:43
|
|||
As I arise from the abyss
And get my mind out of the mist, I see the night is just beginning
Grab the lighter, take a rip
Then grab the mic, get down to business
I'ma finish what I start, and put my heart into the writtens
I've been scarred but I'm a fighter, going wild with the clique
We on fire in the pit, when not acquiring the riches
Bringing life to all my visions and it's quite the sight to witness
Any critic tryna bite it, send em riding to the clinic
It's a given that I'm gifted but this world made me a cynic
With the lies that people spread corrupting heads of those who listen
I've had kindness be mistaken for weakness and it ain't easy
But the nail is in the coffin, on my solo dolo balling
Like the beastly beanie rocking, reefer sparking fiend I've grown to be
I tried to hold my peace but when it's silent I just overthink
So I'll be making noise, remaining hyper with the poetry
Annihilating clones and making waves, come and roll with me
Nocturnal life is but a dream
I hop hurdles as I'm walking through the breeze
A small circle is the only kind for me
Talking to my thought journal tryna find the time to breathe
I'm the nighthawk, laying low under radar
Waiting for the sun to set and leave the place dark
Cause when the moon's out, that is when my day starts
Snakes oughta stray far, hitting hard, I stay sharp
Like razor edges, up on this great ascension
I don't know what you think I'm chasing but it ain't perfection
Every day I'm grinding, trying to evade the trenches
Reminiscing rarely, life is good when you embrace the present
Not here to sway perceptions, I'm here to make impressions
And demonstrate aggression as a way of taming tension
Take a second to stay connected and up to date
Cause I ain't pumping brakes, i might just fuck around and run this game
Puffing dank, I'm up in space
Oblivious to what you say
I've noticed people love to hate
Whenever there's buzz of something great
But I push through the thunder, rain, and lightning over this rough terrain
Unrestrained and limitless, you best believe I'm trusting fate
Coming straight from down below up to the stage
To top of the food chain, to the slot in the hall of fame
Call me crazed for dreaming bigger than the next guy
But it don't matter cause I'm giving it my best try, yeah
Nocturnal life is but a dream
I hop hurdles as I'm walking through the breeze
A small circle is the only kind for me
Talking to my thought journal tryna find the time to breathe
I'm the nighthawk, laying low under radar
Waiting for the sun to set and leave the place dark
Cause when the moon's out, that is when my day starts
Snakes oughta stray far, hitting hard, I stay sharp
Hitting hard I stay sharp, damn

Lost and Found
02:06
|

In between lost and found is where I be at
Mentally, on the hunt for solid ground so I can relax
And recollect my thoughts, spark the J and pen a rhyme or two
Dismissing all the outings that I never got invited to
There's quite a few but at this point in time, I ain't tripping
You live and learn while bridges burn
Whether you like to admit it or not
The clock is steady ticking
I can't talk I'm on a mission
To go hard and make a killing
With the cards that I was given
Ambition is priceless
It's the fire within the rain
That will drive you to better days
And guide you when feeling drained
I'm writing as an escape
But if I inspire, that's great
Chase a dream, don't look back
Pave your path and you'll be straight
No debate, I just copped an eighth
So I might float away and go to space
Music is the Novocain for my growing pains
Lightens up the load of weight that's on my shoulder-blades
Motivating me to keep on roaming through this lonely place
Steady taking my time, this ain't a race
On the way to my prime
Feeling great, feeling blue
Feeling safe but confused
When you're lost but you're found
You don't gain, you don't lose
You're just here, but you're not
And your peers are already off
Getting jobs and relocating
So there ain't no time to talk
Like there once was
It's just a part of growing up
Call it tough luck, call it one of many conundrums
That one must accept on the road to success
Keep it going, cross your fingers and just hope for the best
I got some dope in my right hand, microphone in the left
Just trying to flow as much as possible to cope with the stress
But nevertheless I'm going to ascend
You put in the work, you see the effects
Ain't here to impress, I'm here to cement my name
As one of the illest to bless the game
The way that I'm taking the pen to page
Is amazing for my mental state
I ain't antisocial just a guy who likes to get away
From everyday commotion to focus on making gold
In a zone where I can't be bothered
Evolving and breaking molds
Had to take control of my fate but I'd say that I'm doing well
Just telling it like it is, why stop if it truly helps

Just Another Day
02:06
|
|||
Just another day of tryna find myself
There ain't really no telling where my mind might dwell
But I stay optimistic as I shuffle through the fog
Young and on an expedition, I ain't gonna take a pause
Yeah it's just another day on this uphill battle
Of breaking from the shackles and building up a castle
While learning there ain't nothing too big for me to tackle
Won't babble when I know my words could maybe be impactful
On just another day of feeling forsaken
I'm making peace with things that often leave my core shaken
In more ways than I could explain, I won't break down
When I could break through and make a name that never fades out
It's just another day evading all the gray clouds
Ain't a soul around as I be venting all this pain out
Rolling dank, I'll be in space if you need me
Riding these beats like waves in the deep sea
See it's just another day of growth
On the road to greatness, it's the only way to go
Talking forward, I'd rather move slow than move backward
As long as I'm progressing, quickness ain't a true factor
It's just another day, another chance
To advance and make the most of all this time on my hands
I'll be damned if I let it go to waste
Got a plan to be the greatest and I'll take it to the grave
Been wishing I didn't feel as distant
Like it makes any difference
The world's gonna keep on spinning
Round and round just like my thoughts
They go nonstop, wish that I could turn them off
That'll never be the case, so I'll put them in a song
Just trying my best to stay strong
And not worry bout anything at all

Solitary Boi
02:32
|

Been a solitary boy
Hear me calling from the void
With the hope there's someone out there
Who's acknowledging the noise
Staying sharp and it's a choice
I don't want to disappoint
I just want to see what all I can accomplish with my voice
So I'll toss a couple coins into the well for good measure
And keep weathering the storm, ignoring stress and putting effort
Towards a better me, cleverly pen a scheme as a remedy
For all depression brings and the given imbalance chemically
Got memories repeating in my mind
And these demons steady testing me, they keep me up at night
Got me wishing that serenity was easier to find
But I'm guessing joy is something that's just fleeting with the time
So I'll sit and count my blessings under saturated skies
And make the most of every day as I be navigating life
Everybody's turning up while I would rather stay inside
Away from all the extra racket just encapsulating vibes
Of any kind, sever ties with the negatives and proceed
If you ain't noticed, I'm doing this shit for me
But if my words reach somebody who might have needed them
Then that's proof that music's as beautiful as can be
On my feet and I'ma keep on moving
The bruises will fade and one day I'll feel true bliss
Till then I'll be in the lab recording new hits
In my own world, no complaints when the shoe fits
Been proving myself to be more than a reject
Solitary boy, lone wolf, I don't need friends
Don't need to pretend like I'm at peace yet
Just taking deep breaths, watching the seasons change
Watching the rainfall
Locked in my bedroom and safe from the chaos
Been chasing dreams and you know that I can't stop
Things get extreme but I push through and stay strong
Taking no days off, trying hard to shake all
The weight on my shoulders, know I won't remain lost
Too many friends turned their back, what can I say
I'm just a solitary boy, not by choice but by fate
