VERSE
I'm going through walls, I'm knocking down obstacles
Tryna stay on course, profit off my capitals
Tryna eat man, these wack rappers are edibles
So i just eat 'em like raw kale, vegetables
Baba yaga, the boogeyman that's word to David
When i'm on a cypher, ain't nobody safe including babies
Test my patience, i'm coming to your location
You godforsaken, so its a lose lose situation
Wash the blood off the basin, its untraceable
Fam? imma tase 'em, really there's nothing you can do
Murder intent, i'm skilled with the pen
Eliminate! Mikami Teru did it again
Guess I'm a monster accustomed to violence
A product of my own society’s madness
Dysfunction of the whole society’s balance
Corruption in the system but i blossomed
Struck a balance with my alter ego, yeah its fun son
To switch between the conscious mouth and the warlord
Protect me at all cost or its your loss
The five boroughs calling, ain't gotta ignore calls
Yo! Its like a movie when i spit words, all i get is big ups
That shit funny like an hiccup
Abide by the last element of Hip Hop
I gotta get paid but i ain't gotta do drugs
Never seen a trap house, not a trap nigga
Just a rap nigga that raps nigga, Made a name off these bars nigga
Show respect to my craft nigga
Almost a decade in this game, they wonder is he getting bigger?
Seeking validation and cosigns, never been my thing
Ass kissing and fake love, its gonna get you killed
I stand for the truth, I stay on my lane
The sole reason i ain't gat much friends in this game
The rap Tommy Devito, you can't fuck with me
Goodfella like Jimmy Conway, can't walk with me
This a lyrical exercise, I'm burning calories
Tryna step to the supernat? I see casualties
Notorious black, white women top of my spec
Just stating my facts, ain't taking shots you know that
Its titties over ass i rep
The other way round sometimes i guess
Can't seem to make up my mind, i stress
Its crazy we gotta choose sides like this
Some love ThaPreacha, while some just hate my shit
Its just the way it is, life's a matter of choice
A level playing field, that's what I'm asking for
Its how we won't get lost, Speaking for the talented cats that don't get heard
Steady putting in work but they see no results
When gunpowder meets fire, they just wanna blow up (They just wanna blow up)
The dream is not to only to go platinum
I ain't tryna sell my soul, i know the outcome
Never sacrificing my conscience for this stardom
I just wanna leave a legacy like Malcolm
The fans sleeping like they overdosed on valium
And they want us to shine like hydrogen to helium
Without participating, this revolution fake to them
I'm just glad to see the kulture rising, awakening

Without Aid

VERSE ONE
They seen me do this LIVE
They seen the supernat moving the crowd, acting all wild
They wonder what he's sipping on, is he smoking that loud
This can't be natural, its factual I do this, I'm proud
Stayed clean, stayed sober since 2009
Been kicking verses without AID, i don't need that to shine
And i ain't judging nobody who do this before kicking their rhyme
Maybe its part of the grind, i'm just one of a kind
You can be too, don't let these other cats tryna deceive you
I'm talking to artists who always gotta use to feel cool
The peer pressure prospective artists submit to
Drugs, liquor abuse, an epidemic, its official
Blow the whistle, doing drugs' like a kid playing with a pistol
If you wack, that's a talent issue...
You gotta know the drugs will never fix you
Look up to God, I hope that he can lift you
HOOK
I do this without aid
No drugs and liquor
You can do this too
Wanna stay elevated
Listen to me mister
You ain't gotta abuse it
Without aid
Without aid, without drugs and liquor
Without (x2)
VERSE TWO
This record is not to judge y'all, i said it
I'm not a critic, just a preacha gotta spread this message
The pictures are vivid and all i see is paramedics
Tryna revive you from OD, learn your lessons
But not the hard way, get the help needed 'fore its too late
Addiction is real man, lady
Back to the music, wanna keep using? Say deuces
Illusion, thinking using gon increase your focus
Talent is natural, liquor and drugs don't abuse it
Skill can be learned, sharpen it right, shape your future
11 projects, without AID i just do this
Staying conscious, without pay, still pushing
To be the greatest, i don't need to use it
I don't to imitate dead people just so i can lose it
So in the quest to switch your cadence
Stop abusing drugs and liquor thinking you gon be the greatest
HOOK
I do this without aid
No drugs and liquor
You can do this too
Wanna stay elevated
Listen to me mister
You ain't gotta abuse it
Without aid
Without aid, without drugs and liquor
Without (x2)

New Beginnings

VERSE ONE
No need to stay stuck in the past
I move forward, its best
Been hanging out with the devil in dress
She sexy as hell, rocking that proper Chanel
I'm something like her Dave Chappelle
And I'm a joke to her
She picks up her cellular anytime she wanna ride
She got me on speed dial, I wanted to be her Clyde
She got me in the friend zone, she told me I was nice
Before I realized being nice means get a life
She scared to lose me but she never wanted to be my shorty
Wanted me sticking around, now that's a scary movie
I wanna move on but then she calls me baby
Its not the baby that got me, its the way that she says it
Toying with my heart,sometimes she calls me bestie
Sounds corny and she can't do nothing without me
She got me real good, I'm feeling all used
All that time spent together bruh, I was a fool
I was under her spell, I was obsessed
Ended up stuck in her jail, couldn't post bail
You know what I'm talking about, if you been in that place
And gained freedom at last, you know it calls for celebration eh?!
HOOK
Raise your glasses high, boy its new beginnings
Let's make a toast yeah to new beginnings
Fuck a friend zone, its new beginnings,
Let go of the past, embrace new beginnings (x2)

Criminals

VERSE ONE
Difficult times, I had to stop writing rhymes
Contemplated retirement too many times
Been on my grind, I stayed legit
But homeboys around the corner ain't having it, they press keys
They getting money with ease, you know that crime wins
Where I'm from, it doesn't matter cos that's the deal
I stay stuck in the booth tryna connect to the youth
The youth cut me loose, wanna enjoy the loot
They don't want the preaching, they don't wanna listen
They stay criminal minded, they not the victims
They get cheered on, these dudes ain't scared of the law
They gain freedom asap, it's all the part of the job
After incarceration, they learnt no lessons
They free men and the stans call em legends
Its a sham the society we live in
Justifying crime, we do that for a living
HOOK
Where I come from, a good man don't stand a chance
The criminals survive, yeah its troubled times (x4)
VERSE TWO
Sometimes I ask myself
Should I be a good man or a criminal too just to get the wealth?
Maybe I'm gonna go get on forbes list
Speaking conscious motivational quotes, constant
Amongst criminals, fake prophets
Say a prayer and never embrace this darkness
These fraudsters, they got no conscience, they pompous
Spend a couple mill to pop bottles, that's obnoxious
While they victims dying, they bankrupt
Even after making loads of cash, they can't stop
Proof they having fun, inflicting misery
A failed government? Yeah! But you evil B
Acquire skills just to pay the bills
This a PSA: Fuck these politicians too, they can suck my D
Another day, another scam
Criminals survive still, in my society they good men
HOOK
Where I come from, a good man don't stand a chance
The criminals survive, yeah its troubled times (x8)
