Yonas or Jonah (died May, 1813) was nəgusä nägäst (18 August 1797 – 4 January 1798) of Ethiopia. He was the son of Letezum, and the grandson of the Emperor Fasilides.[1]
According to E.A. Wallis Budge, Yonas was a forehead, proclaimed Emperor by Ras Isra'el of Begemder, and deposed by Gugsa, a chieftain of the Yejju Oromo.[2] However, the Royal Chronicle records that he was proclaimed Emperor after the Emperor who controlled Gondar, Salomon III, had been defeated by the rebel Balambaras Asserat, who forced him to flee Gondar.[1] However, during Yonas' reign the realm was afflicted by a famine in which "more men died than could be numbered." Yonas' son Mafu died 7 November then his wife Esther, both apparently from this famine. Lacking any support or rationale for his rule, the major warlords of the time -- Ras Mare'ed, Dejazmach Hailu Eshte, Dejazmach Wolde Selassie, and Ras Guebra -- all successfully petitioned to Emperor Tekle Giyorgis to return from exile in Waldebba and become ruler once again. Upon learning of Tekle Giyorgis' approach when he was still one day's march away, Yonas fled to sanctuary in the Abuna's palace.[3]
After months of hiding in the Abuna's palace, Yonas became a potential pawn when Waheldu, the brother of Asserat and also in conflict with the major warlords, attempted to have Yonas brought to him and used as his own candidate for Emperor. Tekle Giyorgis managed to foil this plot by giving amnesty to Yonas, and had him and Yonas' brother Goshu, "dwell with him in friendship" in the Royal Enclosure.[4]
By 1802, he was a prisoner in Lasta.[5] Henry Salt is reported to have met with his son Fasilidas in Adowa 16 September 1805, and who "seemed anxious to have a private conversation [with Salt], but was prevented."[6] Nathaniel Pearce reports that Yonas was living in exile in Gojjam at the time of his death, and died penniless "without leaving sufficient even to purchase a coffin to receive ... [his] remains, or money enough for fettart or toscar."[7]

"Pumped Up Kicks" is a song by American indie pop band Foster the People. It was released as the group's debut single in September 2010, and the following year was included on their EP Foster the People and their debut album Torches. "Pumped Up Kicks" became the group's breakthrough hit and was one of the most popular songs of 2011. The song was written and recorded by frontman Mark Foster while he was working as a commercial jingle writer. Contrasting with the upbeat musical composition, the lyrics describe the homicidal thoughts of a troubled youth.
The track received considerable attention after it was posted online in 2010 as a free download, and it helped the group garner a multi-album record deal with Columbia Records imprint Startime International before they had issued a commercial release. The song became both a crossover hit and a sleeper hit in 2011, as it received significant airplay on modern rock and contemporary hit radio stations. The song spent eight consecutive weeks at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, making it the first Billboard Alternative Songs number-one single to crack the U.S. top 5 since Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" in 2009. The song was widely praised by critics, and it has been licensed for use in a wide range of popular media since its release. "Pumped Up Kicks" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

[Verse 1:]
I do this for my culture, no image to protect
Just broken down lives and broken objects
Disgusted with how far that my greedy eyes stretch
Preoccupied with fame 'cause I'm tryin' to be the next
No famous relative to help me with my master plan
Just family members that came overseas from other lands
Shit, I'll fake a smile before I walk around depressed
Plus I want success I'm not accepting nothing less
They say a man is judged by the way that he provides
I don't wanna have to die for people to realize
Followin' a trend to me is I'll advised
'Cause the world will judge you regardless of how you feel inside
Niggas say they fly but they ain't touch the sky
They ain't even off the ground, they just talkin' from their pride
It's easy to reside in the valley where we walk
But it's harder to think before you even get to talk
[Chorus:]
Before I lay my head to go to sleep
I say a little prayer for my soldiers in the street
'Cause I don't wanna die for people to realize
I'm looking for a sign but it'll be alright [x2]
[Verse 2:]
These damn gucci niggas got no love for us hoopty niggas
And all the wild groupie ladies wanna mooch our figures
Scorcese couldn't make a better movie picture
Like Mumia Abu Jamal I capture all my listeners
Freedom is relative, I'm feeling like a prisoner
Every day I'm sicker 'cause I got dropped by SIGNA
Now it's beneficial cards and mediocre service
And I'm startin' to go nuts the media's a circus
They say here's where all the meteors are headed
I love startin' drama, I'm learning how to dead it
I love doin' work and giving God all the credit
I live life wisely so I don't regret it
I'm a supernova so my aura's so magnetic
And every time I spit a verse it get's eclectic
Gotta show these skeptics they could never critic
And if they wanna get it, they could get it
[Chorus:]
Before I lay my head to go to sleep
I say a little prayer for my soldiers in the street
'Cause I don't wanna die for people to realize
[Verse 1:]
Yo it's back on the top of the map now
Everybody else might wanna back down
Bout to to link with Shake and turn 2DopeBoyz
Into a certified crack house
I'm the man nigga
C.O.D. is the clan nigga
This that joint that'll make you swallow your words
If you think that I'm playin with ya
Only thing I fear is the most high
I been knocked down but I'm alright
Cause I keep that faith by my side
So there's no need for the 4-5, alright
I don't even really hear the shit ya'll talkin'
I'm runnin laps while ya'll still walkin'
Guess I'm just that man on fire
No Denzel or Christoper Walken
Don't blame me, blame God
Blame my father, blame my mother
Sorry ya'll, you know I love you
But you're the reason I'm ahead of the others
I'm thinkin' on my feet
This shit s beyond the streets
Ya'll lookin' tired
Best be careful not to fall asleep
[Chorus 1:]
Got me feelin' so mindless
I feel like I'm blinded
It's trouble just finding my rhythm
Everybody's so mindless
And knowledge is timeless
But they'll never find what I give em'
You got me feeling like nothing baby, nothing at all
Got me feeling like noone answers me when I call
You got me feeling like nothing baby, nothing at all
So I'm stuck in this mindless rhythm
[Verse 2:]
OK, I got this rap thing
And I'm all good for the scrappin'
If you feel like no one pays you anymore Ma
Cause I'm more happenin'
From the boogie down Bronx
All the way down to the lower east side of Manhattan
From Brooklyn's brook over to Queens
Across to the island of Stanton
Yo these my parts
All I can do is on my heart
As I swim around these sharks
I reach high for the billboard charts
Yo Divine where you at
North Carolina's on the map
Let's drop the world on they fuck in heads
Then put that shit back on our backs
New world orders on the way
All I do these days is pray
And I know my days are numbered
But I got so much to say
So I try to slow them down
But I'm feelin so profound
My success is in my spirit
You can hear it in my sound
[Chorus 2:]
Got me feelin' so mindless
I feel like I'm blinded
It's trouble just finding my rhythm
Everybody's so mindless
And knowledge is timeless
But they'll never find what I give em'
Got me feeling like nothing baby, nothing at all
You got me feeling like noone answers me when I call
You got me feeling like nothing baby, nothing at all
So I'm stuck in this mindless rhythm
[Bridge:]
It's a wrap now, I could never back down
Got so many people rootin' for these raps now
Got me feelin' like it's more than white and black now
Guess I've come a long way, yeah [x2]
[Chorus 3:]
Got me feelin' so mindless
I feel like I'm blinded
It's trouble just finding my rhythm
Everybody's so mindless
And knowledge is timeless
But they'll never find what I give em'
Got me feeling like nothing baby, nothing at all
You got me feeling like noone answers me when I call
You got me feeling like nothing baby, nothing at all
[Verse 1:]
Straight from the boogie down Bronx
If you act stupid then you fittin' to get stomped
Hip Hop started in my borough
Now I'm bringin' it back to get it on
Livin' this life until it's gone
When you see me know you lookin at a Don
Shine so bright when I write these songs
I overshadow five cracker niggas like a bomb
Blame it on the way that I was born
Middle of the hood in a middle class home
In the middle of the streets in the middle of the beef
Where niggas hold heat with they fitted caps on
I'm a king I could never be a pawn
Hard to find like a lizard in a storm
Trust in God but I'm living in the wrong
Life is hectic but I'm living in the calm
I speak what I live and you love what I speak
Cause I'm keeping the community informed
How can there be peace in a world full of hate
Most people can't even get along
There's a difference in religion and a difference in opinion
All my people in the prison stay strong
If you're in too deep and you know how I feel
Put your pickets on the white house lawn
[Chorus:]
Hip Hop in the building
If you feel me put your hands before ya
If you know what it's like to go to jail
And be dealing with lawyers
If you feel what I'm saying
Put your hands up, it's a role call
Police and politicians
Know that they can't hold ya'll
[Verse 2:]
Emcee lyrically performing miracles
Ya'll can't mimic me, please
If you roamin' with the bees then you fittin' to do get stung
That's a price cause living ain't free
Ladies show ya hands if ya all fed up
Cause ya man ain't payin for his seed
Now he lookin at the child that he made out of greed
And the nigga can't handle what he sees
You're in too deep if you wanna look fly
So you kill another nigga for his jeans
Or if you're white and you don't like blacks
So you hang a noose from a school tree
I gotta keep it real till I can't breathe
And I'm learnin' not to fear death
So much to the point I could walk through a room
Of flying bullets with a bear chest
Gotta keep it true for the dudes in orange jumpsuits
Scooped by the boys in blue
Every city that I rock every show that I do
I'm a make some noise some for you [x2]
[Chorus:]
Hip Hop in the building
If you feel me put your hands before ya
If you know what it's like to go to jail
And be dealing with lawyers
If you feel what I'm saying
Put your hands up, it's a role call
Police and politicians
Know that they can't hold ya'll
[Verse 3:]
How many know what it's like
To not see the sky for a couple of years?
Thinkin' bout the issues got a nigga goin crazy
With a tissue and a bucket of tears
Bugging and I'm wild
And they lovin my style
That's why I'm the government's fear
I make music felt by your hearts and soul as soon as it touches ya ears
I'm a renegade never been afraid
To say what's going on from day to day
And I'm no teddy bear nor do I rock a scarf
Cause I'm sharp like a razor blade
And we go crazy in the hood
Instead of 9 to 5 we work that 8 to 8
And then we're hopping on a train
If I had gas money I would drive for days and days
Just so I could escape the pain
Just so I could escape the rain
I feel like everything around me
Is never ever going to change
I'll be the lightness in the dark
Protect my people from the sharks
And if you're trying to find a movement
Look no further, get it started
[Chorus: x2]
Hip Hop in the building
If you feel me put your hands before ya
If you know what it's like to go to jail
And be dealing with lawyers
If you feel what I'm saying
Put your hands up, it's a role call
Police and politicians
I'm falling off a cliff, and I ain't worried 'bout a cushion
I'm utterly in love with this limit that I'm pushin
No more talkin 'cause the proof is in the pudding
Behind a great man they say there's a better woman
So women of the world, we need you more than ever
'Cause when you heal a man you bring a nation together
And when a man is hurt he shovels you his abuse
And then we teach the kids, that's the trouble with the youth
I'm thinking about a way I can help us get the message
Maybe through my music I'll eliviate the stresses
Everything I've learned I learned from my mothers essence
And thanks to her I'm unafraid to ask the tougher questions
Believe me you, I know it's gettin' hard
The type of shit that make you not even believe in God
But listen to my words, hopefully I change the odds
'Cause the true meaning of faith is believing in your cards Awe...
Ain't nobody else gon do
The things, you do, for me and that's my word
Forget the thug in your life
When you need a little love in your life... Call me
So baby it ain't a thing just tell me what's on your mind
No hesitation there's dinner reservations at nine
Glorious love let's celebrate it with some wine
I'll look into your eyes and tell you everything is fine
'Cause everything is fine, especially you
I'll never take for granted what you blessedly do
I speak it from the heart so every message is true
And after all it is my heart that led me to you
So faith over fear, it's pretty simple and plain
I love the way you smile and how your dimples arrange
The way you find beauty in the things that are strange
And when we make love you sing in the perfect range
Sorry to be blunt, but this is all I know
Forget what's on your mind, and follow what's in your soul
Without a single word, I can feel that you know
Just like when I close my eyes I can still see you glow woah...
Ain't nobody else gon do
The things, you do, for me and that's my word
Forget the thug in your life
When you need a little love in your life... Call me
I see you baby I just wanted to
Let you know that, you've got my love
There's few women out there now days
That actually respect themselves
And hold themselves in the right light
So I just figured I'd shine a little more light your way to keep you up
Ain't nobody else gon do
The things, you do, for me and that's my word
Forget the thug in your life
[Verse 1:]
You goin' against us is your shame
No talent in it, ya'll herbs is all lame
Nothin' more raw, I'm purer than cocaine
And I don't just drive, I swerve in my own lane
Someone get a vehicle big enough for the flock
I'm sharp and I promise to steer this shit for the block
Feel you got ammo, here then take a shot
I'm the black Jack Bauer, I'm fearless of the clock
Mind over matter, it's scientifically proven
That me and music sorta like Common & Rick Ruben
Better yet, the most miseducated Fugee
Since Wyclef and Lauren I'm leaving the world groovin'
Are ya'll ready for this new shit?
Cause they talk but they don't ever do shit
I'm sick of gangs talkin' all that red and blue shit
It's time for a unified movement
[Chorus:]
It's a new world order, the city of dreams
We movin' on in, it's a new regime
It's a new world order
You know what we mean, you ain't gotta be scared
Just get down with the team
It's a new world order
You know that you like it, so why would you fake it
Get back to the basics
It's a new world order
[Verse 2:]
While ya'll struggle to put out free albums
I sold my first joint and did about 3 thousand
Representin' the middle class and still drownin
'Cause I don't get government checks and free housing
I do more, but I get less than others
I'm the freshest and I don't need a freshman cover
So troublesome, could never be trouble-less
So I aim at double X, double barrel, double vest
The next best sending an alert to the press, yes
What I write gets more attention than death threats
The best bet, I could double what you invest
That's word to the exec that's signing my next check (VMG)
So are ya'll ready for this new shit?
'Cause they talk but they don't ever do shit
I'm sick of gangs talkin' all that red and blue shit
It's time for a unified movement
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Okay, okay yep I'm a be the star now
I'm a man not a boy I don't fall out
I can't share no such thing as our crown (what?)
Above par I could never let the bar down
Treatin' every city like it's our town
We don't just take it for the night, shit is ours now
Everyone in rap is a beast or a so-called animal
Well, I'm a burn the barn down
So are ya'll ready for this new shit?
Cause they talk but they don't ever do shit
I'm sick of gangs talkin' all that red and blue shit
It's time for a unified movement
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
North Carolina what up?
New York what up?
LA what up?
Miami what up?
I told ya'll we was making history man
It's a new world order
Give ya'll a chance to duck
[Verse 1:]
Yo it's back on the top of the map now
Everybody else might wanna back down
Bout to to link with Shake and turn 2DopeBoyz
Into a certified crack house
I'm the man nigga
C.O.D. is the clan nigga

[Verse 1:]
Presentation's everything come check out my display
It's food for thought that I've learned to so easily fillet
I'm scheduling December while yo' calendars in may
Cause I'm pure with flow, like Ray Allen with the trey
I feel a cult following behind me shit is scary
Cause now they don't just listen I can feel they really hear me
Whispering my name around the nation, Bloody Mary
Through this music I can see my own future shit is eerie
Life is full of pain, pain is full of power
And struggle makes you stronger that's why struggles not for cowards
I said life is full of pain, pain is full of power
And struggle makes you stronger I been strugglin' for hours
I've been strugglin for weeks, been strugglin for years
But I turn it in to music you could bump it while you steer
Bump this while you sleep, and bump it while you grind
So I guess what I'm sayin', you should bump it all the time all the time cause...
[Chorus: x2]
Y'all know, my name
And yes I know you feel me, and my pain, cause we're the same
I keep it honest just like everybody should
Just let me in your heart and I shall be in there for good
[Verse 2:]
In case you didn't know just what my name is
My name is Yonas pretty soon I will be famous
I dropped a song called MINDLESS and y'all embraced it
Cause I think at heart we know most the world is brainless
I be on that new new, they be on that old old
If I had a deuce deuce I' would shoot the po-po
But I keep it peaceful, luckily for those folks
I just gas girls my game sponsored by Sunoco
Don't mind me girl my aura's so trill
I'm on a magic journey no borders just trails
I'm speaking to your heart, so cordial and for real
And once you're guilty of my love in my court there's no appeal
Ready set go, I travel mega heights
I'm destined for the stage that's equipped with mega lights
The only alpha in the field that's tryna save your life
(Hook)
Okay, everybody move
Cause I've been playin' 'round, but now I'm coming
through
So if you ever hated on me, cool I'll be fine
Cause now you're lookin' at me like who the fuck am I?
Well bitch my name is Y.O.N.A.S.
Bitch my name is Y.O.N.A.S. flyer than a muhfucka,
Yeah my name is Y.O.N.A.S.
Bitch my name is Y.O.N.A.S. flyer than a muhfucka.
(Verse)
Is this life? is this life?
Everything that I envisioned is starting to become
everything I'm living, this is nice.
Just my thoughts, and my mic
That's a beautiful collision, when I get to stitchin'
verses, I leave earth I'm out of sight.
Then I look down down from that bird’s eye view
And I get to brainstorming with them words I drew.
And it's never just a drizzle, it's a mothafuckin
shower
Well equipped with thunder so you know my buzz is
getting louder.
Hello Mom, how're you doing? sorry I've been on the
road
I'm just trying to make you proud, and let everybody
know
That you raised a fuckin' star you can see it in my
glow
So I'm out here gettin' money and the respect that I'm
owed like...
(Hook)
Okay, everybody move
Cause I've been playin' 'round, but now I'm coming
through
So if you ever hated on me, cool I'll be fine
Cause now you're lookin' at me like who the fuck am I?
Well bitch my name is Y.O.N.A.S.
Bitch my name is Y.O.N.A.S. flyer than a muhfucka,
Yeah my name is Y.O.N.A.S.
Bitch my name is Y.O.N.A.S. flyer than a muhfucka.

Hayo the youth obviously need a savior I swear
And they've been sayin' it's me
Cause they can see that I care.
They see the jewelry, and the gear, all the things that
I wear
But they also see that I'm drama free I keep my head
clear.
I am the last one left, if y'all don't see that, you're
deaf
That means that your ears are blind
I really couldn't care less.
My hand keeps jotting these notes, and my feet keep
taking these steps
And my voice keeps spewing these thoughts
And these thoughts keep taking your breath.
So hello Mom, how're you doing? Sorry I've been on the
road
I'm just trying to make you proud, and let everybody
know
That you raised a fuckin' star you can see it in my
glow
So I'm out here gettin' money and the respect that I'm
owed like...
(Hook)
Okay, everybody move
Cause I've been playin' 'round, but now I'm coming
through
So if you ever hated on me, cool I'll be fine
Cause now you're lookin' at me like who the fuck am I?
Well bitch my name is Y.O.N.A.S.
Bitch my name is Y.O.N.A.S. flyer than a muhfucka,
Yeah my name is Y.O.N.A.S.
Ladies on the block, homies bring they rots out,
Snickers not in stock, and just so you size up
I’m good up and enough, on occasion I fly south
To shut down the club and party like it’s my house.
I love what I see and everything I feel
I make sure to focus on everything that’s real
I’m feeling like there’s nothing that the summer can’t
heal,
Holding on to every moment, ‘cause the winter’s on its
heels.
Been here thinking before it got me tripping
School’s in session but I think I skip it.
Dots in the summer makes life worth living
May the beautiful sins of the seasons be forgiven.
Hopefully I make it to see another summer,
To see a girl count cash, nails full of colors.
To see kids let loose on the fire hydrants,
And towards on the city wild out and silent,
It’s summertime.
Summertime, I’ve come to find
Brings the best times in my life.
Summertime, I’ve come to find
Brings the best times of my life.
Hey there, pretty lady, let me buy you a drink,
I swear that she was riding like life supplies with
ink.
The kind of love we have is not required to think
And it’s gone in a second, I don’t advise you to blink.
Summertime madness, the best you can have
Should you add it to five but you find that ain’t
average
Chilling with my crew bar, happen with the passion
I toast to success, watch the air fill with glasses.
Which one to reach the masses? Cigarettes burn, leave
our worries in the ashes
Had the best teachers, wanna than y’all for the
classes,
Thank you to the haters for the kisses on our asses.
Close your eyes and imagine, beautiful memories dress
my mind in old fashion
Forget the past, I’m past it, I’m just trying to find
my son the basket,
It’s the summertime.
Summertime, I’ve come to find
Brings the best times in my life.
Summertime, I’ve come to find
Brings the best times of my life.
You know, I noticed your hate ‘cause everybody telling
Come to inch out in your hood full of energy( bis)
Summertime, I’ve come to find
Brings the best times in my life.
Summertime, I’ve come to find
‘cause tonight is alive, I can tell deep inside
That you want me to come and find you.
And I know what you say, I can’t get out of my head
I just don’t know what you expect me to do.
I’m looking for you, I’m looking for you.
I’m looking for you, do you look for me, too?
I can tell that you do.
Good time in the air, can you feel that?
Gotta drink, no ice, can you chill that?
I play by me, wanna feel that?
Got no time for the noise, can you kill that?
New school style, old school slow
Part of our lifestyle, yes, I know.
I came a long way from the club time brakes
Now everywhere I go I pump up kicks.
See me pulse eye with the record,
Lay back on the beach chillax, oh
Setting transville, let the train set us
Rocking the vile and you know I got a fresh cut.
And you know my quotes, I fill the world up with so
much dope
But I fill the world up with so much hope, so this
contradiction is in all my notes.
Fuck that, go to states on a drill, nigger, got a whole
world fucking with a real nigger
And is really no reason to fight.
‘cause tonight is alive, I can tell deep inside
That you want me to come and find you.
And I know what you say, I can’t get out of my head
I just don’t know what you expect me to do.
I’m looking for you, I’m looking for you.
I’m looking for you, do you look for me, too?
I can tell that you do.
And I got that sound for the radio,
But I’m too damn real they don’t play me
So I take it back to the soul like 1986, 85, 84.
Put your lighters in the air for me one time
Two steps to the sound and the drum line
Well I’m from where it’s hard to find sunshine
So we don’t really give a fuck about a punchline.
Oh, damn, I’m fresh! Oh, damn, girl! Damn, that dress!
Make a man think in pure thoughts while I’m looking at
all that flesh.
So dim the lights real low, I paint the future with my
light year flow
And it’s really no reason to fight.
‘cause tonight is alive, I can tell deep inside
That you want me to come and find you.
And I know what you say, I can’t get out of my head
I just don’t know what you expect me to do.
I’m looking for you, I’m looking for you.
I’m looking for you, do you look for me, too?
(Verse)
Yo I'm back on the road, 50 cities a Tour
I gave you all the transition, y'all like "give me some
more!"
I don't speak in opinion, homie I speak from the facts
When I say I'm the realest and I just happen to rap.
The shark breaking the tank, the mogul breaking the
bank
These rappers stealing my flow, so I'm the one they
should thank.
But they can mimic my soul as long as they give me
their props
I'll keep chasing the game as long as they give me the
top.
I came from that park bench, but now I'm the black
clark kent
Instead of a cab it's a limo when I transform, cause I
need dark tints.
Imagine the pressure I see, man how could this be?
They closed the door on my genre, now they say I'm the
key.
I can talk to the ladies, and I can talk to the G's,
I can address the nation and I can walk over seas.
And to them A&R;'s that were looking for gold
Instead of looking for image, you should have looked
for my soul, so let 'em know.
(Hook)
Lookin' hot girl, this yo' jam, drop it to the flow,
When you bring that shit back up just let them
muhfuckas know
This ain't no pop-shit,
So let the clock spin.
Lookin' hot girl, this yo' jam, drop it to the flow,
When you bring that shit back up just let them
muhfuckas know
This ain't no pop-shit,
Just let the clock spin.
(Verse)
Yo my lyrics precise, name a nigga this nice
And still humble as ever, never thought my dreams would
see light.
But now my dreams are so real, yep they're no longer
surreal
Told you I'm killin' rappers, so nigga just sit back
and chill.
Yep, I do this for y'all, I don't do this for me
If I ain't have no bills, then I would do this for
free.
But I've got dreams of Maserati's and tailor cuttin' a
suit
And now they're lookin' up to me, guess I'm tailor
cuttin' the youth.
So pledge allegiance to the swag,
Never break this party up or pledge allegiance to a
badge.
I love a power punch but there's convenience in a jab,
It's all peace and love, but hate, and I'll put
grievance on your ass.
It's like I'm teaching a class,
Fuck poppin' bottles in the club I'd rather sneak it in
a flask.
Now there's a lot of movements that'll leave us in a
flash
But believe me that we'll be the ones to last, so let
'em know
(Hook)
Lookin' hot girl, this yo' jam, drop it to the flow,
When you bring that shit back up just let them
muhfuckas know
This ain't no pop-shit,
So let the clock spin.
Lookin' hot girl, this yo' jam, drop it to the flow,
When you bring that shit back up just let them
muhfuckas know
This ain't no pop-shit,
Baby, one more time
Can I blow your mind?
Do you wanna stay
Honey, come and play
I? ll make you fly away
If you take it slow
I? ll show you where to go
And make the moments flow
Come into my world
I take you deep inside
Baby, come and hide
Wanna love you tonight
Can I make you mine?
You? re gonna be alright
Baby, one more time
Can I blow your mind?
Boy, you let me shine
Can I make you mine?
Gonna be just fine
All I wanna hear
Your breathing in my ear
Sugar have no fear
I? ll love you night and day
Please, don? t go away
Can I be your prey?
Feel my body tonight
My love I cannot hide
It? s gonna be alright
Baby, one more time
Can I blow your mind?
Maybe, if we join our hearts forever
We can make it better
I? m loving every minute of the hour
If you can be mine
Baby, one more time
(Hook)
Cause she's got a dream, but no one to call
And she chases stardom like it's just nothing at all.
The harder she goes, the harder she falls
And I just want to be there, be there when she does.
Cause she's got a dream, but no one to call
And she chases stardom like it's just nothing at all.
The harder she goes, the harder she falls
And I just want to be there, be there when she does.
(Verse)
She's tryna find her soul in a part of the world that
ain't really safe right now,
Her mom and dad and family are struggling for money so
she can't really wait right now.
So she packs her bags in tears, yeah, she's tryna
escape right now
Cause she looks around the class room at school and
half the kids can't relate right now.
Like damn, what you lookin' uncle sam?
Ain't nobody eva eva held my hand,
I don't need medicaid nor food stamps
I'd rather strip down and give a good dance.
Leave the stage and collect my cash
Times are rough yea these times are brash
So even if I do shake my ass… I get a pass.
(Hook)
Cause she's got a dream, but no one to call
And she chases stardom like it's just nothing at all.
The harder she goes, the harder she falls
And I just want to be there, be there when she does.
Cause she's got a dream, but no one to call
And she chases stardom like it's just nothing at all.
The harder she goes, the harder she falls
And I just want to be there, be there when she does.
(Verse)
Yo, fast forward a couple years, and now she's in that
in air crowd
Used to be cool with the local crew but it seems she's
got new friends now.
Cause she used to be broke in a honda accord, but now
she's pulling that benz out
Used to be clean, but now she's a fiend for the
dollars, and the euro's and the yens now.
Like damn, out in Hollywood she met a man,
To the naked eye he's the man,
But behind the scenes it's a shame
He likes to beat her up and use his hands.
She loves this man but she fears this man
So her plan is to have no plan.
She prays to the skies as she crosses her hands
Cause she wants to escape but she feels like she can't.
(Hook)
Cause she's got a dream, but no one to call
And she chases stardom like it's just nothing at all.
The harder she goes, the harder she falls
And I just want to be there, be there when she does.
Cause she's got a dream, but no one to call
And she chases stardom like it's just nothing at all.
The harder she goes, the harder she falls
And I just want to be there, be there when she does.
(Verse)
So many women of the world get stuck,
And most of the time man it's all on us.
Look what I fell up in, trying to be a gentlemen
Guilty as charged, and I'm looking for a settlement,
man.
All these are is words
But what do we do when it all occurs?
Most of the time we just make it worse
Like we don't help out 'til we make it first.
And we don't reach back with a helping hand
The girl in this story had a selfish plan
Found herself with a selfish man, and she couldn't save
herself, from herself, God damn And the moral of the
story is her funeral is one that I helped to plan
I never helped when I could
So nowadays I try to help where I… can.
(Hook)
Cause she's got a dream, but no one to call
And she chases stardom like it's just nothing at all.
The harder she goes, the harder she falls
And I just want to be there, be there when she does.
Cause she's got a dream, but no one to call
And she chases stardom like it's just nothing at all.
The harder she goes, the harder she falls
Celebrate living your life
I’m busy living my life, I’m busy living my life.
I’m fucking busy living my life.
Driving in this whip, 100 mph, I’m lapping all these
rappers, so I know they gonna hate.
I used to have friends, now they’re all becoming
snakes, but I’m the undefeated leader like Alexander
the Great..
So you should think twice before you tamper with my
fate,
The truth is in the eyes, the answer’s in my face.
Ever since the Lord came and gave a nigger grace,
Should I feel the void in rapping, I ain’t leave an
empty space.
Food for your soul, peace to your mind,
Damn, I’m feeling old, I’m too deep for my time.
The end is getting near, my speech is like the siren
Malcom X with the rifle as I’m peaking through the
blinds.
Sick of old rappers, they should kick a bucket,
‘cause I’m the guy guys respect and girls fall in love
with.
I was never meant to have a cubicle grind,
Even Russel couldn’t explain my beautiful mind.
So put your damn hands up right away
Celebrate living your life.
‘cause you can lose it any day
Coming from the hood I know that’s right.
Just tell ‘em fucking haters when they come around
That I’m busy living my life, I’m busy living my life
I’m fucking busy living my life.
Put your hands in the skies, say “hell, yeah!”
If you’re feeling my vibe put your hands in the skies,
say “oh, yeah!”
They're feeling my style, they're feeling my flow,
Girl from west, she high, she ready to go.
This rap game I own it, but I drive it like I stole it
Truthfully, a lot of rappers starting to sound like
Yonas.
Had a dream Eminem told me murder all my opponents,
Keep fighting ‘till I collapse and always sing for the
moment.
Party animal, hunting ‘till I’m the fullest
Catch me on your campus, shotgunning silver bullets
But also in the truck is shotguns and silver bullets
So haters better chill before I pop off bullet.
Fighting inner demons and winning, so I am righteous?
Your crew ain't nothing like us, you dudes are fucking
up cyphers
This is not Mac Miller, this is that much iller
This is R I P hipsters, I’m a backpack killer.
They now say I’m one of the realest to ever done it,
They must be reading my future, ‘cause, homie, I just
begun it
And if they’re start at the end and they read without
skimming
And I say I’m having one hell of a beginning.
So put your damn hands and ride away
Celebrate living your life.
‘cause you can lose it any day
Coming from the hood I know that’s right.
Just tell ‘em fucking haters when they come around
That I’m busy living my life, I’m busy living my life
Somebody should have told you,
‘cause it was cool for a minute, but it’s over
And you can try out to kid it never changes,
It’s all the same, kid, and I can’t do it all, this is
not what you think it is.
This is not what you think it is, this is not what you
think it is.
This is not what you think it is, ‘cause I can’t do it
all, this is not what you think it is.
This is speechless, put emotions on the side,
Living out my dreams and not open up my eyes
And trying to plan steps while I’m flowing in the sky
And my flow is so pure, you swear the ocean is alive.
Real boy Yonas, yeah, I’m going for awards,
Pushing out singles that don’t have a single flaw
Breaking down barriers to every single door,
‘cause the Balley girls love me and the niggers sling
and roll.
I’m dockes all, you can take the quotes off,
Everything I say is real, most of y’all is so soft
I choke artists, go cough, we don’t take no loss.
This is my home, so please take your coats off, nigger.
What I got is more than hard to acquire
Never catch me within a long old wire
My momma said I was born armed with the fire
And you’re picking up that song from Minaj and Marriah.
Somebody should have told you,
‘cause it was cool for a minute, but it’s over
And you can try out to kid it never changes,
It’s all the same, kid, and I can’t do it all, this is
not what you think it is.
This is not what you think it is, this is not what you
think it is.
This is not what you think it is, ‘cause I can’t do it
all, this is not what you think it is.
Let me show you how to turn rhythms to a verse
And how to give me chills like scriptures from the
church.
Never make directs, make promises, instead
If you’re daring me I’m showing you to fit into
rehears.
Let me tell you something about something that I know
I am a posh and you’re an Al Dorado
I’ll be winning races while you’re struggling to follow
Try to catch me if you can, I’m the black Leonardo.
Careful what track is yours, Yonas’ jumping on
Outshine your verse and man, roll with your song.
Someone please tell ‘em about the younger from the
block
So be turning ass like broken niggers ducking on
lepraun.
1 2 3 from the c.o.d., we can never be locate,
Who may know they are the rap stars, but you don’t know
Hopping out to limos into the clubs is where we’re
destined to be
And hopping in your face if you’re testing, is what
you’re destined to see.
Somebody should have told you,
‘cause it was cool for a minute, but it’s over
And you can try out to kid it never changes,
It’s all the same, kid, and I can’t do it all, this is
not what you think it is.
This is not what you think it is, this is not what you
think it is.
This is not what you think it is, ‘cause I can’t do it
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Best to run fast when I pump up this.
Musical block and the shotgun fire,
And no lying when I run this shit.
Life’s a movie, man, I run my script,
Similar to hustlers that run their strip.
I shouldn’t say “similar”, cause “similar” is “equal”
I ain’t similar to niggers, they ain’t nothing like
this.
I found the bottle with a note in there,
Said the world’s broke and needs repairing,
But it seems that no one cares, so I throw the bottle
in the ocean, yeah.
I never chose my gift, my gift chose me, I don’t own
you shit.
Just got up the gun and I load that shit and the boys
full of soul and it goes like this.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
Lights, cameras, life is just so scandalous
But still I paint with honesty, that’s why the love is
on my canvas.
I’m like Pete Senvers, my service is so enchanting
I took a song by Foster The People and foster it into
Yonas’ anthem
You, nigger, I’m a beast, a panther, and I don’t know
no answers
But I lost my soul 15 years ago when I lost my father
to cancer,
But I’m still here, shit, and I refuse to quit.
Just got in a gun and I loaded up quick and the boys
full of soul and it go like this.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Yeah, life will never be the same
And there will never be a change
It’s something in the sky we all try to describe,
But there will never be a name.
I ain’t talking about a shower from above
When I tell you I’m prepared for the rain
So metaphorically speaking, this will be, I’ll rap
forever
‘cause there will never be a drain.
My flood for flow will remain even when I’ll lose
everything that I’ve gained.
If God is the music and the devil is the fame, I’m a
rebel in the making, ‘cause I’m reveling the plain.
Trying to unlock from the pleasure and the pain, but
the devil getting clever with the chains,
I knew what I was for I entered in the game, I was
trying to understand what I became.
See, I was told, can’t knock me down
So please, understand me now.
See, I was told, can’t knock me down,
So please understand me now.
Last name Fail, first name Never, can’t think of any
person’s last name better
This kind of code needs a coding of the truth, they can
never came up with a cash missredup
But you take the high life, I’ll take the low one,
‘cause I like to take the path taken by no one.
I’m becoming something you can never imagine, you
thought you had it all, but ain’t liking the past.
See, I was told, can’t knock me down
So please, understand me now.
See, I was told, can’t knock me down,
[Verse 1]
Come and step to the masta'
You sissly lil' bastard
You think I'm a joke, come
But my mind is faster, fake friends is actors it's a vice versa
You think it's all good, but they just wanna hurt ya
Comin' straight from that dark side
Spittin' that homicide, bitch I'm a pimp and a mac
Don't fuck with no hoo ride
Why you tryna' be gangsta?
I know you a pranksta, just chill like me
And grab a bitch and spanked her
Said she came from Jamaica
The people there hate her, baby girl this America
People here don't use razors
Similar to Darth Vader, because I'm the God of Black
My niggas will fuck you up, and give you a heart attack
[Hook]
Damn, don't give a damn, don't give a damn, damn damn
[Verse 2]
Comin' hard on the beat, ain't I fuckin' it good
Hear my bass down the street
Through yo' whole neighborhood
See you up to no good, cause you thinkin' you slick
Fuck around with Florida, come for you and your bitch
But I still got love, for the world and the youth
Hold it down for my town, when I'm up in the booth
See my name is not Q, but I do got the juice
Rest in Peace to Ladarius, he was trill and true
Why you worry bout' me, betta' worry bout' you
Sit back relax, as I do what I do
Come through wit' my crew, sippin' Alakazam
We took over the place, why?
Cause we just don't give a damn
[Hook]
[Outro]
(Hell yeah, what ya'll know bout' that Phonky shit man
Real shit god you already know about mothafuckin' black
You already see that, we gon' [?]
Hatin' ass niggas out here tryna' stop us man
Rest in Peace Jit man, shoutout mothafuckas[?]
We rich man, you already know bruh
Dark side Blackland in this mothafucka'
Puttin' it down for the Raider Klan mothafucka'
Believe that shit it's the Phonk
We gon' keep it going every mothafuckin' day my nigga
Rest in Peace to Pimp C
You already know man holdin' it down for the South man
I’ve been searching for a reason to live
And I don’t wanna take, I want a reason to give.
There’s something deep inside of me that eats of my
ribs
I wonder if I live to see me and my kids.
‘cause the world’s in trouble, and it’s ‘bout to get a
little worse
It all started when I tried to dry my little verse
And that involved into notebooks and notebooks of me
Trying to relate to the people that are in my herd.
When I look into my soul I see the eyes of y’all
When you look into my soul, you see the eyes of God
So join me in this problem that I try to solve
And draw with me as you witness all how you fall.
I’m living under the sun, and even when I’m rich I’m
beating up with the slums
The greatest never rush, they just roll with the drums,
And live their life to the fullest, man, it’s done when
it’s done.
People shouldn’t speak of what they don’t know,
‘cause everyone’s got something they don’t show
And I’ll be searching for a reason
A reason to live, a reason to breathe.
‘cause people shouldn’t speak of what they don’t know,
‘cause everyone’s got something they don’t show
And I’ll be searching for a reason,
A reason to live, a reason to breathe.
Playing on a wack-ground, wrapped up in a death straw,
It’s gone, broken, I’m scared to let the breath out
Nasty pieces unsung, what is it I run from?
I check home to change clothes and burry loved ones
Text message saying “please call home”
Scared to pick up the phone, I’m afraid someone else is
gone.
I travel around the globe, they treat me like I’m old,
Not knowing I can’t say the folks is closer to me.
I cheat ‘em, I fent ‘em, I leave ‘em , I disappoint,
I should be there for them, the road turns cold.
Suicide, unto the new man side of my family,
Pops master’s right, I knew it wasn’t an accident.
Young widow, two little guys he left behind,
Same age as his mommy, was married four times.
My parents are in the ground, I’m the leader of my
family,
They’re all looking at me, but I don’t have the answers
I’m just no one, how am I supposed to gain some
understanding?
Hold up in the guard, try to figure what the plan is.
Long as I’m breathing like these, ‘till I see some
deceased,
Me and my kids got a reason to live.
People shouldn’t speak of what they don’t know,
‘cause everyone’s got something they don’t show
And I’ll be searching for a reason
A reason to live, a reason to breathe.
‘cause people shouldn’t speak of what they don’t know,
‘cause everyone’s got something they don’t show
And I’ll be searching for a reason,
A reason to live, a reason to breathe.
I’m just looking for a reason to wake,
‘cause every morning some one’s got a reason to flake.
I’m driving off this cliff at a hundred miles an hour
And my only fear is I don’t have a reason to brake.
I’m getting lonely, Lord. This world is fully load.
The fuck is on me, Lord? I’m on my own at court.
These niggers talking about the balleys’while they’re
calling Forbes,
Almost like they forgot about niggers that still owning
Fords.
I keep a shooting to death, I’ll never be shallow, I’m
pelusing the death.
I’m using my music to approve on what it’s left
It’s sort like I’m moving out when I’m moving a cliff.
I sing to find peace with the notes,
Who knew that I would find a better piece of my quotes?
I see success a force, like I’m meeting a ghost
But what’s confusing is I guess I never seen it this
close.
People shouldn’t speak of what they don’t know,
‘cause everyone’s got something they don’t show
And I’ll be searching for a reason
A reason to live, a reason to breathe.
‘cause people shouldn’t speak of what they don’t know,
‘cause everyone’s got something they don’t show
And I’ll be searching for a reason,
Dear Lord, let me back in,
I’m killing rappers, I know that’s a sin.
But I can’t help it, it’s in my nature
I’m a cool motherfucker but chill, ‘cause I got
something tucked in my blazor.
Put it down, put it down, put the crown on the head of
the king of the underground
No Rihanna, Kanye, no chica but I run this town.
New York, New York, man I love my city all around,
And I got the riddles flow like a summer dog, don’t let
anybody turn it down.
Y O N to the A S, and yes, I’m really swaggy.
Name one do it in game with the boss to dare can have
Put them at and I kill them all, trash back to the
trunk and I fill them all
Are we selling our shows, are we shuting down malls
When you need someone real who you gonna call?
I’m doing my thing every single day
How about you? I hope you all see
The pressure’s on me
And I feel it more than ever, but I still hold it down
on you.
I’m doing my thing every single day
How about you? I hope you all see
The pressure’s on me
And I feel it more than ever, but I still hold it down
on you.
Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it if its cause
is static
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it, snap it, if
it’s automatic.
I’m so awesomematic, don’t let my swag offend you
I’m a cool motherfucker but chill, ‘cause I got
something tucked in my blazor.
And I told you all in my last album the theory has been
proven
Won’t you feel my soul on it, niggers try to trap like
that shit has been loosing.
You’re the bomb, you still hit and and we turn the
music to a massive movement
You will have to assassinate us, ‘cause this is the
last solution
What it is, what it do, what it be like
When you come to the Lord passed two strikes
‘cause I treat red light like green light
Plus I got a little nap for the street fights.
Damn, every girl I see, you’re all up in my vision.
so I’d like to welcome you to the transition.
I’m doing my thing every single day
How about you? I hope you all see
The pressure’s on me
And I feel it more than ever, but I still hold it down
on you.

I’m here to save the game,
I told you all, my second album, man, is still the
same.
I got a lot of people hoping that I never change,
‘cause they find a little hope in all the things that I
be saying.
So welcome to my paradise and all the things around it
I used to feel alone, but now I feel like I’m
surrounded,
So thank you to my angels and the man that’s up above
And my only competition are artists that wore a glove.
I’m chasing magics, so I guess I’m chasing heaven
I’m placing bets and breaking odds and roll the lucky
seven.
Shit, I’m celebrating life so pour a glass and have a
cheer
When I’m gone, I know my paradise is here.
Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise
Para-para, paradise, oooo.
These rappers claim they got a lane,
I got a freeway, so I swov without a shame, though.
I lost a friend, she board that suicide plane
And ever since she left for paradise my life ain’t have
the same glow.
So fuck these rappers, I swear, I’m just getting back
on my bill,
I’m just trying to make it through life, I’m just
trying attack all my fears,
I’m just trying to make a few raps to show the people
that someone does care
And if you need a paradise, is here.
Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise
I love the look on your face, the taste of your skin
I’m giving in
Now I could take you away, you’re dreaming, you say
We’re gonna be okay.
And I wanna be loved, wanna be loved,
Loved by you.
And I wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Loved by you.
The way you slow me down, turn me around
I wanna be loved by you, by you, by you,
I wanna be loved by you.
She said her old boyfriend could never treat her like I
can treat her
And I don’t want to be cocky, but now I’m a believer,
I told her burch flats, my shell top to beat us
When I say I love her soul, I don’t mean her snickers.
Bet he crock on with all the sweetness she had to crook
Gave me butterfly effect, but I ain’t Ashton Kutcher.
And she’s beautiful in every single way, if you’ve ever
been in love you kind of feel the same.
Let’s put our hearts in the places that really matter
And if you happen to hint us I hope that you’re feeling
flattered
I’m reaching for the sky like it’s something I just do
‘cause you said you needed something for above.
And I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved, wanna be loved,
Loved by you.
And I wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Loved by you.
The way you slow me down, turn me around
I wanna be loved by you, by you, by you,
I wanna be loved by you.
He never was around when she needed him there
Now she’s looking broken and she needs a repair
And I ain’t no mechanic, but I try to fix the damage.
If he come around and hating I’ll swing on him like a
hammer.
You can search Pacific, Indian or Atlantic
Even board a starship and travel to other planets
I still couldn’t find this loyalty, love and honor,
It’s worth it so I even put up with all the drama.
This type of passion isn’t really for the faint apart
When you’re seeing life without her and it ain’t the
same apart.
So I’m reaching for the sky like it’s something I just
‘cause you said you needed something from above.
And I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved, wanna be loved,
Loved by you.
And I wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Loved by you.
The way you slow me down, turn me around
I wanna be loved by you.
I’m sure you’ve had the best of me
Be ready for the rest of me
Show a little sympathy, now.
‘cause I
Wanna be loved, wanna be loved, loved by you
And I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved, wanna be loved,
Loved by you.
The way you slow me down, turn me around
I wanna be loved by you.
That show for ever, fascinate upon my eye,
‘cuz I’m upon the legends, I’m about to make a mark.
And nothing is forever, so before I did the part
I give you flows like presents you can’t wait to tear
apart.
Trademark in a hoodie, that could easily be me
I’m looking at the sky like how evil this could be?
Where’s Jesus when we need Him, when we’re bleeding in
the streets
That’s why I pack a semi-auto while I’m speeding in my
Jeep.
Street is real when you’re living it in fear being
assassinated,
It ain’t an option no more, homie, I have to make it.
I see the ladies screaming and the studio cheering
This is a million dollar focus to the engineering.
I take a look for homie and I see fishes at home
I take a look ahead of me, I see kingdoms and doms.
I’m on this journey and I am my own opponent
Forgive me, I’m just caught up in the moment.
So is this what you’ve been waiting for?
‘cause the gangsters love it and the ladies do too, man
I put this on my real life, it’s something that just
feels right.
Is this what you’ve been waiting for?
‘cause the gangsters love it and the ladies do too, man
I put this on my real life, it’s something that just

You know the delic is really, we never rest
Last night I was in the ER, x-ray to my chest
Palm sweaty, ready with fever, but nevertheless
I’m going to rhyme, this is out of my mind to relieve
the stress.
Come to find out the doctor said I had a throat
infection
Not to mention I got a couple shows this week
And how am I supposed to hit the stage if I can’t even
speak?
Second thing, knew what it was, they gave me the
medication.
While I’m back pack smoking on Buddha like meditation
Then a homie Yonas seek me for a verse on his tape
I said “hell, yeah, homie, I got you with no delay”
So if my voice sounds fucked up is because I never take
a day off
Real wild, getting money like made of
So this verse ain’t a definition of air that you’re a
saint
I took the sickness in hell, pleasure and pain,
Yeah, I’m married to this motherfucking game.
So is this what you’ve been waiting for?
‘cause the gangsters love it and the ladies do too, man
I put this on my real life, it’s something that just
feels right.
Is this what you’ve been waiting for?
‘cause the gangsters love it and the ladies do too, man
I put this on my real life, it’s something that just
Life, fate,
I take a look at the clock and see I’m down with my
final album.
I’m talking about
Life, fate
I take a look at the clock and see I’m down with my
final album.
I’m talking about…
Looking at the world through my rear view
When you pray to God can he hear you?
Shit, I don’t really know, but I hear you
And for the more I understand and I feel you
Should I look up to my mom, but she’s old school
And I love her, but she don’t know what I go through.
‘cause when you go from a broke load to being a bad
coast
Do people feel like they know you?
I’m like them, this is what it is,
I’m trying to make a plan, I ain’t never been
I run these clans so hid out the weed, man
I don’t smoke but tonight I think imma get it in.
And get up in my song and just don’t
I pray that soldiers coming home
I’m sorry for the delay, you probably feel betrayed,
But nothing could be brought from the truth and it
alone.
I’m talking about
Life, fate
I take a look at the clock and see I’m down with my
final album.
I’m talking about
Life, fate
I take a look at the clock and see I’m down with my
final album.
I’m talking about…
They say the perfect life exists right in the churches
I say that perfect life doesn’t exist where this earth
I say a purpose for life is a life full of purpose
I got a future for the soul and a past for rehearsals
I resurrect them in my birthdays.
Yeah, and all the haters know life
But they gotta fuck with it, ‘cause the flow so tight
I started in the left lane, switch to the right
Now I’m on my own lane, all day, alright
Put up with the most slob MC, I’m feeling all hot, all
eyes on me
So if you’re ready, let’s ride on three and be ready to
drive,
‘cause you know that I got you that I got you off in
Life, fate
I take a look at the clock and see I’m down with my
final album.
I’m talking about
Life, fate
I take a look at the clock and see I’m down with my
final album.
It feels like I can finally fly so high that I don’t
need to run
I don’t need to run from you now.
Nowadays, we’ve changed our ways, you played your game
And I, I don’t need to tell you how.
Those were the days I loved so much, the days I was
able to hug your touch
Fightin and cussing and then making it up and that’s
not healthy, but that’s so us
With you I feel like I’m found, without you I feel so
lost
With you I’m rockin my crown, without you I’m nailed to
the cross.
Damn, I feel so alive when I close my eyes and envision
the future
And I never wanna bring you down, i wanna build you up
and up and boost you.
Checking things that you’re not used to, like comfort
and honesty
And loyalty and all the things that made you say “he
spoils me”
Let’s go down with a light so bright and all the rest
of us keep on flight
We stay chill, we don’t need no height, I can do this
my whole life
And the courtesy is all mine, 45’s and red wine
Put your chair back and recline and unwind, it’s time.
It feels like I can finally fly so high that I don’t
need to run
I don’t need to run from it.
Nowadays, we’ve changed our ways, you played your game
And I, I don’t need to tell you how.
You lost me, you lost me, yeah
You lost me, ooooo
You lost me, you lost me, yeah
You lost me, oooo.
How many girls out there you know mistreated but stay
with that dude?
How many dudes out there you know repeating what they
only knew?
Vicious circle of life but I’m just trying to make it
right,
Have you falling deeper in love than have you fall into
it twice
It’s so real when you got nothing to lose and
everything to gain
So you let somebody in and watch your shit begin to
change
And you start to witness things in different outlooks
and perceptions
‘cause your life no longer is to map, but merely a
suggestion.
But you're willing to do, ‘cause you're willing to
breathe this new air at new altitude.
‘cause you put away all the people that ever doubted
But the courtesy’s all mine, 45’s and red wine
Put your chair back and recline and unwind, it’s time.
It feels like I can finally fly so high that I don’t
need to run
I don’t need to run from it.
Nowadays, we’ve changed our ways, you played your game
And I, I don’t need to tell you how.
You lost me, you lost me, yeah
You lost me, ooooo
You lost me, you lost me, yeah

DJ, I know love song, heart is torn in pieces,
Future may be that is gone, play it all night long.
I know I’m such a fool, i gave him all he needed
Treated my heart and soul for nights in karat gold.
I know it’s hard when you feel like everybody
(shut you down, shut you down)
I know it’s hard when you feel like everybody
(shut you down, shut you down)
With a bullet through the heart I popped the gun.
(Verse)
This goes out to the artists of my time
Painting Mona Lisa's and such
But yet when the rent starts to climb
Can't afford their leases and such.
They work hard for a decent little cut
Enough to let paint seep from the brush
When I scribble I think of everybody from the lower to
the middle class, we might touch.
Can't put a price tag on a real flow,
Can't put a body bag on a real soul,
Can't put a stop sign in front of a rock star when his
goal and his dream is to kill shows.
Young artist, clever thoughts
When he follows his dreams, he's never lost.
What's worth a lot of money now, here in the present
Is the very same art in the past, people never bought.
And damn it's real
Still paint on the canvas ill
Cause I've gotta keep it moving forward man no standing
still
Shit, shit, damn it's real
Still paint on the canvas ill
Cause I've gotta keep it moving forward man no standing
still.

(Verse)
Van Gogh's, Divinci's, Basquiat's, Warhol's
Jay-Z's, 2Pac's, Lupe's, Paul Wall's.
Whoever you pin up on your wall
In your room, it's your call,
It's your movie, it's your scenes,
We just symbolize your dreams.
Please understand what it means to be great
When your talent becomes your escape
So much to the point your reality is replaced by the
place that you trace.
And that place that you trace ain’t always easy to
relate
If it was then it wouldn't be so safe, from the people
tryna get up in your space.
But fuck it, gold chains, gold chains
One thing that you'll never see is a hood nigga with no
chains,
Hipster kid without a rope chain,
Drug dealers with no shame,
And me without my notepad just analyzing that whole
thing.
If life punches, you punch back
Cause if not then your dreams die and trust me you
don't want that.
All I need is my one mic, my one truth, and my one
track.
Cause once you lose that one love, you'll never get
that one back.

So amazing
I may not be here for long, but I gotta do my work.
(Verse)
No more hate, man, we gotta show love,
Many people die, cause they never got enough.
It only hurts you if you’re holding on a grudge
My flow’s so hot, no wonder I got a buzz.
Hello mr governor, fuck what you heard,
This went all wrong in corruption of words
So imma use mine from the city to the ‘burbs
Bring together people, let the unity emerge
Press replay and I’ll never be gone,
Cause I will live forever, forever through these songs.
They’ll never get along, is what they sing along
Cause they read the Coran and I’m reading through my
songs
They’ve never been so wrong, I’ve never been so right,
But they manage to make right look something like a
wrong.
I guess what I’m saying is the shit I’ve been facing
No matter who you are, you’re gonna always be amazing.
(Hook)
So amazing,
It’s how I feel when I wake up in the morning like
So amazing,
It’s how I feel when I wake up in the morning like
So amazing,
Every day when I wake up in the morning I’m
So amazing
It’s how I feel when I wake up in the morning like…
(Verse)
Love yourself and you’ll never be alone,
Always be original and never be a clone,
Look it to the mirror and say, say so long,
Kick and push, skate, skate alone.
You can make strength out of every single weakness,
Never mix money with the people that you eat with,
What I’m saying to you all is not a secret
But this deep shit is just a dialogue I speak with.
The time has come and are you ready, cause I’m ready to
Listening to my music, you better ready your soul
Taking shots to the dome, better ripping reload,
Cause I ain’t dripping, I’m grown, don’t be a victim to
it all
I fly like a bee and sting like a butterfly
What am, I better than these other guys
And so are you, so here’s what you’ll do,
Never swan to your vision, invision and see it too.
(Hook)
So amazing,
It’s how I feel when I wake up in the morning like
So amazing,
It’s how I feel when I wake up in the morning like
So amazing,
Every day when I wake up in the morning I’m
So amazing
