Yo, I keep it cooler than other side of the pillow that vibe you wanna get with it it's wicked I spit That decadence.
Moving exalted can’t halt me the flow malicious can’t beat me so come and join me provider I got That sustenance, heaven sent.
God rays beam down from the street lights,
Caress darkness, heartless, spark this Marcus Garvey,
Black Star Mos Def yo boy been tight,
Cross trip wires my mind it just be going off.
First it detonate, then let it settle,
Resonating thoughts pictures and timescapes.
We here until time escapes our clutches, ponder on my discussions,
Every second a blessing my nigga I hope you know that.
Just being honest with you, wisdom and knowledge trump gold
The Midas touch ain’t worth much if left in fool’s hands.
You either win or you learn discern this and your mind expands.
All that you know,
(All that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(All that you know know know know know)
All that you know,
(All that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(All that you know know know know know)
All that you know,
(All that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(All that you know know know know know)
All that you know oh oh oh oh.
Yo let it fall, let it break, let it bond, let it shake,
First it build, then destroy, life and death, heaven’s gate,
From the time that you wake,
You be trying to get it (right)
Adversity conflict difficulties from (every side)
You can’t take it with you so what you stressing for (don’t deny.)
That the moment you in now is paramount,
No amount of bread or head from bad bitches worth the stress,
Always move with subtlety and finesse ya dig?
This like artifacts homie these are the facts, chiseled frame of gods, gilded core, cardiac,
Atlases, almanacs. One in the same,
Life death and some taxes until we leave this domain.
Only memories remain, even those seem to change.
Change a natural thing so greet it with an embrace.
Water source of all life and both of them have 3 phases,
So just let it rain down and wash all the pain away.
All that you know,
(All that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(All that you know know know know know)
All that you know,
(All that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(all that you know know know know know)
All that you know,
(all that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(all that you know know know know know)
All that you know oh oh oh oh.
All that you know,
(all that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(all that you know know know know know)
All that you know,
(All that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(All that you know know know know know)
All that you know,
(All that you know know know know know)
Let it go.
(All that you know know know know know)
All that you know oh oh oh oh.

Just vibe with a vibe with a,
Just vibe with a nyuh like,
Yo lemme tell you that you clean with the step,
Next level with the neck, wanna build on this connection.
I ain't never been the type to interject,
But the way you move correct, wanna add to my collection. You feel me?
What we chiefing on minus the tepee,
Incense burning strong wherever we be,
I be on that way beyond and you can roll if you keep it hush maybe
Don't be posting what we finna do.
That's right all night straight butters when I slide, honestly let's just keep it between me and you.
No lies apply always wet high tide, baby.
What's them goods that you got in store?
I need to see I need to see you.
Another taste of what you got and more
and if it ain't on the low then I'm like see ya.
Darling let me tell you something,
You could be my sugar dumpling.
Just make sure and don't say nothing,
So them doh know.
Girl you set my heart on fire,
You real is my true desire,
Just make sure and keep it quiet,
So them doh know.
So them don’t so them don’t know,
So them don’t so them don’t know,
So them don’t so them don’t know.
(Honto ni dare ni mo oshienakutte ii no?)
So them don’t so them don’t know,
So them don’t so them don’t know,
So them don’t so them don’t know.
Baby girl take my hand,
Their opinions matter not.
I don’t care what they say,
The smallest minds like talk a lot.
I, ain’t tripping less we going on vacation.
World is ours they irrelevant, why
Present drama invitations?
Big moves we making,
Barriers we breaking.
Pree exotic sands Trinidad, Jamaican,
Swing back Japan, choushi dou yo what’s shaking, fam?
Keep it hush and we going ride,
Building blocks to our lives no time for prying eyes.
So could you tell me if you down to roll?
I wanna see I wanna see ya.
Best bet keep it off the internet
And if you posting for clout then I’m like see ya.
I real like you bad from the start,
So don’t play no games with me heart.
Let we just keep it between the two of we,
So them doh know.
Tell me what you want to do,
Anywhere just me and you.
Make sure and don’t parrot too much
so them doh know.

Cause that's just how I feel,
You know it's so real yea yea so real.
Cause that's just how I feel,
You know it's so real yea yea so real.
A soul born another lost, waning cries echo the abyss becomes a thought
of friends and family, evolve to memories shackled by God's destiny.
I ponder on and wonder what lies next for me?
Is it all in the cards or preordained by him?
Or embed in my jeans somewhere along the hem?
Sometimes I question it, there’s so much I seen,
we all made in his image but mankind obscene.
The love the hunger, the hate folly and blunder, above all that fall hopeful eyes that cast wonder.
How beautiful is the struggle? Not when you in the struggle.
Rich only get richer economies start bubble and pop.
The trickle down a downpour of debt the poor get bled dry welted backs with nothing left,
Their knee still in our necks it there our last breath.
(Last breath last breath last breath last breath last breath)
Cause that's just how I feel,
You know it's so real yea yea so real.
Cause that's just how I feel,
You know it's so real yea yea so real.
Would you would you lie for me or lie with me?
Searching for that ride or die that stand by me,
Searching for my place and time in history.
I feel lost my burdens they pin me down,
Like anchors and boats when stormy waters coming inbound,
But I leave it all to his will so I know that I’ll never drown.
I want to see a world in which we all love our neighbors,
I wanna see a society of understanding compassion your brother slip then you help him before you reprimand him.
Or are those fool's dreams?
Only God knows, time gon',
Bless you with fruits of what your past sewed,
Go get it yourself perseverance I ask for,
Always wealth in health forever be thankful, please.
Just exhale all the stress, every breath you been blessed,
Pray hard work hard gon' get you where you need to be, for real.
Cause that's just how I feel,
You know it's so real yea yea so real.
Cause that's just how I feel,
You know it's so real yea yea so real.

Ochitsuke! Ame yamanai hi wa nai!
落ち着け！雨やまない日はない！
Sometimes it rain you stuck inside the downpour,
When it start somehow it manage rain more.
Keep calm flip it and take the detour,
it can’t rain forever. (that's my word)
I been cold hustling, get my reps up to flex and start muscle-ing,
Anybody that disrespect the soul covenant.
Been Grinding so damn long to get on, but it seem we still struggling.
Yea, but we can do it it might take time,
That’s all that I got so can’t forgive you if you waste mine.
Ducking these hoes that wanna face-time,
Hit A lick or work 9 to 5 regardless you gon' face time.
Father gimme the strength unveil my path,
I feel drowned and I wonder if I'm anointed or delusions of grandeur,
Doubts and slander, ego, propaganda greater than Alexander.
Trying to climb ahead, totem pole not the ladder,
Is there heaven or not? Only God know the answer.
Stress and hard work for paper that only worth,
Less than lost memories grinding until we dirt.
Souls fluttering endlessly spirits transcending earth.
Live your live fearlessly maybe there’s no rebirth.
But, still there’s time for a change.
Know that hope never fade, hold it tight find your way and just, breathe.
Life a give and take so take what you get from it,
Ups and downs you can rocket but then still plummet.
Keep your eyes on the prize and just gun for it, gotta run it.
So just, breathe.
Life a give and take so take what you get from it,
Ups and downs you can rocket but then still plummet.
Keep your eyes on the prize and just gun for it, gotta run it.
I seen the, beauty the flaws the folly of man,
Wish I was, home on the beach that Caribbean sand.
With the water glistening, Soca music listening,
Give it all up to spend some time with my fam.
I, accept this life to live it right is another story the after life,
filled with regrets and lost dreams,
give it all that you got don’t let doubt and fear spread rot in your Colosseum.
I praying hard so my heart never let go,
but all I hear is echoes.
Jah Jah Lord Father don’t ever let go,
I thought you told me that I’m special.
What you want from me? I come so far and see real things just let me know
these blessings I can comprehend ignite my soul, just share with me reasons for burdens that I hold.
I does pray Lord Father, guide my way Lord Father.
Every morning every night every day Lord Father.
How it so Lord Father?
All my burdens getting harder,
Sunrise then sunset so nothing last forever.
The rain falling imma see it thru,
Give me wisdom, knowledge and virtue.
Times real hard and then the storm come,
But when it done the sky the clearest blue,
So just, breathe.
Life a give and take so take what you get from it,
Ups and downs you can rocket but then still plummet.
Keep your eyes on the prize and just gun for it, gotta run it.
So just, breathe.
Life a give and take so take what you get from it,
Ups and downs you can rocket but then still plummet.
Keep your eyes on the prize and just gun for it, gotta run it.

Never have I met another that put me on levels

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh. (yea)
Strokes of vivid hues and colors the spectrum we know,
Still can’t even shine a brightly as you do.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh. (yea)
Wake up, my savior.
Sunrise and smeared make up.
I want you, I need you oh woh woh.
No doubts and no games,
Just let go oh don’t refrain.
I want you, I need you get me high.
Never have I met another that put me on levels
Beyond the world it should gravitate around you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh. (yea)

Rain Be Gone

Sometimes it rain you stuck inside the downpour.
The gloomy clouds I see building,
It got you feeling like quitting.
Sometimes it rain you stuck inside the down pour
Sometimes it rain you stuck inside the down pour
Rain rain why don’t you just go away and let the sun shine
let the sun shine.
Been raining so long you should just take a break,
let the sun shine let the sun shine.
Toils and struggles I’m trapped in a bubble of doubt.
Peer thru the window grey skies all I can see.
I’m drowning I pray you reach and start pulling me out.
I done paid my dues these service fees is taxing,
let me get one ray of sublime sunshine that’s all that I be asking for.
Sometimes it rain you stuck inside the down pour
But I promise you this, it can't rain forever.
It can't rain forever. It can't rain forever. It can't rain forever. Yea.

The Fly By

A chill dude but still rough around the edges,
Made pledges I’m alleged to be the one. (yea)
To shatter molds break holds and hop ledges yea I said it,
We gone ride till that victory come.(yea)
A rolling stone won’t find no moss round here,
Like my shorties formulated with the derrière.
Speculated, calculated, spread my wings emancipated,
Vocals butters to the touch upon the drum and snare. (yea)
Upon raps articulate my thoughts,
String theories come together a lyrical cosmonaut.
Count down till blast off, the homies say go off,
But if rhyming don’t put me on then tell me where do I belong.
The present precious not the future or the past,
It’s where you at not where you resided last.
Life’s a marathon it sprinting passed you fast
So keep moving no illusions mix it up with what you doing.
(Hook)X2
See you later you can catch me on the fly by,
Fly guy trying to levitate my minds eye.
I try these trials and tribulations,
It’s all about the journey not the destination.
Damn, boy.
Keep it funky with the groove no looking back, boy.
Just keep doing what you do no time to slack, boy.
NASCAR racecar with the tunes,
I flip on tracks, boy, that’s a fact, boy.
It’s like that, boy.
Ask yourself honestly what hold you back, boy?
Obstacles you overcome they build your stats, boy.
Gotta crawl before you run,
That’s a fact, boy. that’s a fact, boy.
We gotta open our minds we all come from divine
The world we in try confine and try hold you in.
Corporations designed, dollars the bottom line,
Financial slavery they sold you the very hole you in.
See me I,
Know there’s more to life than just to
Get by,
So til the day we make it
We gon’ still shine.
Green light so we ain’t braking the world is for the taking
That’s a fact, boy.
(Hook)

It's uncanny how spellbinding and smooth this R&B album is. This is what you need to unwind to, it's honest to old school influences while not shunning the time we live in.
