Look, I’m not the first to proclaim,
Shout from the rooftops, I’m saying
This art has captured my brain
These words became my campaign
Change was the word of the present
Flip the status quo, break through cement
Think forward, so need to implement
a couple commas in my bank balance statement
until the day I sign my contract
well until then sitback relax
Knowing that I’m still here intact
So til contact, work like a maniac
Behind the keyboard itching to write
So I’ll send out invites tonight
To my lesson called blessing the mic
So I’m polite cause my reason is right
Love, From the second I chose the pen
Love, The reason why I’m back again
Love, I do it for the love, I do it for the love,
I do it for the Love
Love, From the second I spoke a rhyme
Love, The reason why I spend all my time
Love, I do it for the love, I do it for the love,
I do it for the…
Love
Not a distance too far that I won’t leap
Not a night flies by where I can sleep
Running in my head are puns and beats
And for each speech the passion I put forth becomes my release
put myself on the line I play for keeps
cause I know that the sky is within my reach
teach the value of expression outta this league
pickup all the jaws I drop out of disbelief
see all the arms waving in time in front of me
hypnotic is the description, call it destiny
so whether or not the stars are testing me,
know that the result is the same, perfect history
when I write it, commit it all to memory
so you can recall the facts in crystal clarity
that I do it with love and so passionately
effectively embodying the image emcee
Love, From the second I chose the pen
Love, The reason why I’m back again
Love, I do it for the love, I do it for the love,
I do it for the Love
Love, From the second I spoke a rhyme
Love, The reason why I spend all my time
Love, I do it for the love, I do it for the love,
I do it for the…
Love
Since the start my heart always played the keys
My soul became one with the melody,
so speaking in rhythm was the release
the peace instilled in my ever present dreams
the force behind my aspirations for the top
my ticket to share love when I talk
each word made for the crowd to rock
so believe then that this heart won’t stop
Love, From the second I chose the pen
Love, The reason why I’m back again
Love, I do it for the love, I do it for the love,
I do it for the Love
Love, From the second I spoke a rhyme
Love, The reason why I spend all my time
Love, I do it for the love, I do it for the love,
I do it for the…

Corporations all hailing to the mighty dollar
Who then gives a damn about some pride and honor
Cause for profit they’d trade their sons and daughters
All for a larger string of successful quarters
boy they got the sacks, like goldman sachs
banks taking all the bailout money from our tax
we fear contagion, financial collapse
what’s the point, we’ve already been robbed, that’s a fact
Now who’d take the blame, responsibility?
income gap widens, hostility?
Cause all we see, is the futility
so set us free, show some humility
they place the wool on your eyes
they dress up in their disguise
you give up all control
and then you do what you’re told, what you’re told
lies told so bold
fake stories get sold
blind the lemmings with tricks
and watch them fly of that cliff now
So they treat us like the gulf coast
Like BP spilled all their oil down our throats
I would like to take tony hayward on a boat
And see how much time in oil he floats
Let the sealife extract revenge
Oh how crude you say, but don’t pretend
Wouldn’t you like to see a pelican bite his rear end
and that show, I’d highly recommend
cause in days like these, all we see is greed
in a day where we have less trees than factories
in the name of filling wants instead of needs
what sort of future will all these efforts achieve?
they place the wool on your eyes
they dress up in their disguise
you give up all control
and then you do what you’re told, what you’re told
lies told so bold
fake stories get sold
blind the lemmings with tricks
and watch them fly of that cliff now
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a capitalist
But I have a problem, with these asshole pricks
Who in their self interest, enrichen the rich
At the expense of the rest of us working stiffs
When all we want is to live comfortably
When all a student wants, is a salary
When a family wants, to live happily
When all the rich pocket cash from their companies
So I’m a lemming, sitting on the edge
With the masses, all mislead
Following orders, (yeah what he said)
I’d rather rap with my heart broke instead
they place the wool on your eyes
they dress up in their disguise
you give up all control
and then you do what you’re told, what you’re told
lies told so bold
fake stories get sold
blind the lemmings with tricks
and watch them fly of that cliff now - Track Name: It's Just You

Now it seems I’ve been distant lately baby
But don’t you take that from me
I’ve realized that I missed what’s in front of me baby
And you’re the one that I need
it’s like that first time you see the moon shine
Glowing bright, cutting through the night
Stunned me when the signal hit, a little bit
Think I need to move quick, won’t let you slip
Out of my grasp, I guess I wasn’t moving fast
(I’m stupid) won’t let another moment pass
Me by, I guess I’ve opened up my eyes
I’ve realized second chances you can not buy
Now I guess you should save me one more smile
And I promise you that I’m worth the while
Moreover that I’m worth the wait
No more reasons to procrastinate girl, let’s make a date
(Next step) save me a place on your calendar,
For your love note that I’m a worthy challenger
Not an amateur will you be my passenger?
On our trip to find out all the answers?
Now it seems I’ve been distant lately baby
But don’t you take that from me
I’ve realized that I missed what’s in front of me baby
And you’re the one that I need
After a little while we’ll be a combination
Like a one two punch, dare I say domination?
Like those love songs topping every station
We’ll bring all those lines to life, just like animation
no explanation needed, I’ll be your complement
and that’s a compliment, and yes I’m confident
and by confident what I meant was that I’m competent
especially when it comes down to rocking your continent
ok that last line come out extremely cocky
sometimes I’ll eat my words, just call me rocky
I’ll be sly and say that vocab was downright sloppy
Don’t worry I like to correct myself and do it properly
let me rephrase to say that I’ll be your other half
you can’t equal one without me, blame the math
or blame this silly smile residing on my face
(haha) it won’t let something special like you go to waste
Now it seems I’ve been distant lately baby
But don’t you take that from me
I’ve realized that I missed what’s in front of me baby
And you’re the one that I need
Ever since the second that you walked my way (my way)
I’ve always wanted to say, how you made my day (my day)
And so I don’t miss the chance, yo I’m moving fast (fast)
To make sure that this connection will always last (last)
now I’ll extend this invitation, take a trip with me
we won’t know, the road ahead, but I guess we’ll see
we won’t know, the road ahead, but I guess we’ll see
so I guess we’ll see
Now it seems I’ve been distant lately baby
But don’t you take that from me
I’ve realized that I missed what’s in front of me baby
And you’re the one that I need - Track Name: Sour Grapes

yall sound like your suckin' on sour grapes
jealous of my flow everytime a perfect take
and you fakes can go running in a field of rakes
cause i bbq emcees when i raise the stakes
Taste it, the taste of authentic, can’t fake it,
Wasted, is how you feel when I verbalize phrases
make your raps sound like you reading the yellow pages
I blow stages like Mario fire flower game
Changer, Dangerous spit catchy contagious
Shameless, outrageous how my flow just rages
Caged it, go unleash it spontaneous
Feel this fact will have to make me famous
For the ages, make immortalized front pages
In all places, posterized in your faces
Dunking while you’re just tying up your laces
I’m crazy as my sleeves are full of aces
yall sound like your suckin' on sour grapes
jealous of my flow everytime a perfect take
and you fakes can go running in a field of rakes
cause i bbq emcees when i raise the stakes
Know I’m loco for coco like team conan
No to leno he should’ve kept 11.30 open
Cause I work late nights that’s devotion
I get fired up when I hear commotion,
floatin’ like a butterfly stinging like a bee
ali with the swing so then I’m word fighting
better get the towel, you’re perspiring
look at me the world champ, teeth shining
so you’re now without your belt, pants falling
pull them back up, so buddy now you’re just stalling
So, Is it my name that the crowd is calling?
No twitter, but still somehow they’re still following
yall sound like your suckin' on sour grapes
jealous of my flow everytime a perfect take
and you fakes can go running in a field of rakes
cause i bbq emcees when i raise the stakes
yall sound like your suckin' on sour grapes
jealous of my flow everytime a perfect take
and you fakes can go running in a field of rakes
cause i bbq emcees when i raise the stakes
Cause with the mic, I average a triple double
So when I’m driving your way man you know it’s coming trouble
Easy to spot from far away, you do not need the hubble
Telescope because when I fire I’ll be bursting your
Bubble wrap rap is how boring your flow is like a puddle
I’ll leave you in a muddle mess like you be needing cuddles
The rubble remaining from the kerfuffle leave you puzzled
Cause I hustle rhymes, wearing a muzzle
Cause I might just bite off your head, like a slice of bread
Switch it to steaks, give me sauce and a napkin instead
Still hungry after bbq-ing emcees I tore to threads
They don’t fill me cause empty rhymes will not keep me fed
yall sound like your suckin' on sour grapes
jealous of my flow everytime a perfect take
and you fakes can go running in a field of rakes
cause i bbq emcees when i raise the stakes - Track Name: Mirror Image

Take it back to the year 1998,
8 year old kid at the keys and boy he played
Practiced those scales without knowing the reason
Screw the theory, just the playing he believed in
Got older now, placed inside the classroom
uncertain now the notes, so he played that tune
maybe he lost sight of the bigger picture
perhaps society standardized his demeanor
in absence instruments just collected dust
he faded away, his hands began to rust
so he trusts the idea that he’s growing up
natural is the process, so he’s stuck (so he’s stuck)
now he believes that dreams are not feasible
and those who chase them are just unreasonable
jaded in the prospect of the path created
though thankful now for what he thinks is what is fated
Am I the person I wanted to be?
is this really what I worked for?
did i truly want any of this?
I don't have a clue anymore.
as a kid is this what i dreamt about?
will this confusion get clearer?
questions that i ask myself now
upon my reflection in the mirror
See that weary face and those lifeless eyes?
Are they a mark of pride, the hidden price?
The surprise that the prize was to be despised
For it was a lie, a product of your mind, the steep decline?
(Whatever) step back and see the proceeds
It may still not be your dream, but it’s a matter of planting the seeds
You’re educated, so you’ve got the content and the character now
So Be content because your potential is spectacular
Moral is, you’ve still got so much ahead
Come on think about it, most people won’t get out the bed
So march your way to that humble nine to five
Be glad it’s there, at least you’ll be fine, man you’re still alive
Yup ok you’ve got a pulse, so now what’s next?
Time to give out a few cassettes get respect
Show that you’re still the same old you, mic check
Old habits never die man, what did you expect?
Am I the person I wanted to be?
is this really what I worked for?
did i truly want any of this?
I don't have a clue anymore.
as a kid is this what i dreamt about?
will this confusion get clearer?
questions that i ask myself now
upon my reflection in the mirror
Contrary to the chorus I think I worked it out
This is not the path I envisioned but a different route
So without a doubt I’ve found my new direction
Work hard by day but by night I’m the MC sensation
Haha see now childhood dreams can be burdensome
Remember that you were still a child when you made them
But nonetheless I will someday rock that stadium
Thousands in the crowd with my music banging on their craniums
Am I the person I wanted to be?
is this really what I worked for?
did i truly want any of this?
I don't have a clue anymore.
as a kid is this what i dreamt about?
will this confusion get clearer?
questions that i ask myself now
upon my reflection in the mirror - Track Name: Someday Maybe

Maybe I’ve been going crazy thinking
maybe I need to leave this place,
saying goodbye to everything lately,
daily, I’ve been looking for a change
I’ve been acting very strange
With an averted gaze, looking glazed
See this face? Does it look aged?
Maybe this place is the reason
for my wicked ways
and why these days
have gone astray
and have gone away
feeling displaced
the disparity its pounding me
directly in the face
I’ve been changed
By the promenade
I walk through everyday
And in everyway
I feel like today I graduate
The place I call my town
the place where I come down
But I’ll keep this high, I’ll lift the earth,
I’ll move some ground now
Someday I’ll See This Place Again
And maybe then I’ll know
Whether or not this heart will mend
Or whether I should let this place go
Let this place go
Let this place go
So maybe then I’ll know
Someday I’ll know
Coming faster than I could describe
Inside I now need to say my goodbyes, no question why,
All this time, has slipped me by, for reasons I,
Can’t even start, to begin to try to supply the reason why
Why I now think goodbye, is such a deceitful word
Such a deceitful term, for such a deceitful girl,
a cruel mistress what I got, when i ignored lessoned learned
looking stupid, after how many times, goodbye was heard
and I guess that’s how things occurred, so now curtain call
home has given so much, but that’s hard to say that, that’s my fault
so again I make my promise to leave, I’ll make my walk
I’ll return someday, so I didn’t write this in pen, I wrote this in chalk.
Someday I’ll See This Place Again
And maybe then I’ll know
Whether or not this heart will mend
Or whether I should let this place go
Let this place go
Let this place go
So maybe then I’ll know
Someday I’ll know
If for not for the people who constitute my upbringing,
I make the case, that I would not, be the one here singing,
I want to leave, change from the town, to the big city
Sitting pretty, fifty stories high, altitude making me dizzy
with my new skyline view, with the smog stained hue
and now the place that I stay, won’t be the one I gave away
but for the record I plan to return someday
Someday. One day. Yup.
Someday I’ll See This Place Again
And maybe then I’ll know
Whether or not this heart will mend
Or whether I should let this place go
Let this place go
Let this place go
So maybe then I’ll know
Someday I’ll know - Track Name: Debt and Education

If I had a few bucks I'd be a little richer
A little more and I'd watch that stock ticker
but that's just a whisper when i'm thinking bigger
but til that day comes i'll just take a picture
cause what i got now i guess I'm blessed with love
though i'm thankful i still could use a couple bucks
so what i got now i guess it's enough
i couldn't ask for more, i guess i'm blessed with luck
Yo, Hitting 20 spins around the sun already in debt
So That’s what you get, education and sweat
Got those students loans to pay, dare I forget
Still gotta study get my ass off the internet
And I do this to inflate that future pay check
And the status too, gotta get that respect
From the parents, friends and the social set
So one day I’ll run that bank fly in a corporate jet
And watch that sunset from my window seat
Just Recline that chair, put up my feet
Greet the pilot, and sing that melody
and loosen that tie because now I’m free
If I had a few bucks I'd be a little richer
A little more and I'd watch that stock ticker
but that's just a whisper when i'm thinking bigger
but til that day comes i'll just take a picture
cause what i got now i guess I'm blessed with love
though i'm thankful i still could use a couple bucks
so what i got now i guess it's enough
i couldn't ask for more, i guess i'm blessed with luck
Yo, Snap the daydreaming you’re not finished yet
Sitting on the desk a couple books you haven’t read
Get back to studying, almost 2am
Man … those final exams you’d better ace them
And you’d better not fail, you’ll look like an idiot
And you’re classmates will be singing it
You’d do the same too, just a lil bit
Or you could always take that class again in secret
So who gives a damn, long as you graduate
Grab your diploma, so you’re out the gate
Smiling now cause you earned your ticket to create
The future that you wanted, so now go celebrate
If I had a few bucks I'd be a little richer
A little more and I'd watch that stock ticker
but that's just a whisper when i'm thinking bigger
but til that day comes i'll just take a picture
cause what i got now i guess I'm blessed with love
though i'm thankful i still could use a couple bucks
so what i got now i guess it's enough
i couldn't ask for more, i guess i'm blessed with luck
Yo, and the gravity hit me, pulled me right back down
Back to planet earth, on familiar ground
Back around the town I thought I left behind
Just a matter of time until I say goodbye
Transpose from this place and to the next
In search of that big house and the picket fence
Grabbing that nice car with that paycheck
And back in debt again, dollars and cents
If I had a few bucks I'd be a little richer
A little more and I'd watch that stock ticker
but that's just a whisper when i'm thinking bigger
but til that day comes i'll just take a picture
cause what i got now i guess I'm blessed with love
though i'm thankful i still could use a couple bucks
so what i got now i guess it's enough
i couldn't ask for more, i guess i'm blessed with luck
