Is it wise to assume Reality only revolves Around me Well it’s a revolution ain’t it? We’re introducing By infecting the youth With the use Of our words Traveling underneath The starlight Hallelujah throw yo hands Up to the sky awww All aboard the midnight train It goes full circle It goes around and round (Verse) The only thing that I do with ease Here is open my eyelids Ain’t no time for dozin off Even as one We could never be too Close to call The lights go out And they start to scream Haunted by insecurities And bad dreams I wanna let the world They gotta friend in me I finally feel like It’s my time to speak

Sleepy Head 02:35
I never sleep Cause sleep be The cousin of death (3x) But we only dying Cause we never Get any rest Need no alarm clock We don’t do curfews Last to close their eyes I’ll be the first to Everyone is asleep Except yon And you crew Inspire em to Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up (Verse 1) As my side of the globe Prepares for bed I’m just hopping Outta mine before The active night ahead I love this life Not a rooster Or a early bird in sight Ok the Sun keeps Me alive But I prefer the moon For light I guess the darkness just be loud enough to Cancel out the noise From obsessions with Acceptance the internet Freakazoids Just be flexin They fake perfection Beware The second your connected It’s like your in a hex Trapped with no escape left But if u need a way out My nigga say less Survival of the fittest Bitch i be the apex Solidified off of shit I ain’t even made yet So what’s it gonna be Do or die Fight or flight Niggas like me thrive at night While erryone else seems to hide Turnin on their brightest lights But even that can’t help the blind See what’s right in front of u and that’s how u get left behind For this You gone need more than your eyes. You need a mind Need no alarm clock We don’t do curfews Last to close their eyes I’ll be the first to Everyone is asleep Except yon And you crew Inspire em to Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up

Oh the fact is we’re all battling Life like we’re soldiers When will we learn to Go with the flow I won’t envy my sisters or brothers Under sunshine the whole World can glow I can show you better than I tell ya All the proof you need is inside This sensation it seems so familiar Just cycle need I remind ya That’s my brudda and nem That’s my roots, my cut, and my stem I can’t leave out none of my twins build on top my family tree make the world my kinfolk then I make sure that my family eat You don’t want peace You just be running the streets You just looking for smoke Bet when it’s time to speak You just be bout to choke Hold on folk, we need growth where is yo soul? where is yo code? Open yo arms And let us... Oh the fact is we’re all battling Life like we’re soldiers When will we learn to Go with the flow I won’t envy my sisters or brothers Under sunshine the whole World can glow I can show you better than I tell ya All the proof you need is inside This sensation it seems so familiar Just cycle need I remind ya Let me remind ya I’m that bitch Who will pull up and find yah Can’t keep up cause I’m lit like a lighter Turn me down a notch before I set this bitch on fire Come in to me ,(love is free) We da winning team , please no Frenemies I can tell she do not satisfy yahhh Baby This sensation will take ya higher Oh the fact is I guess I tend to overthink At the wrong time Do I even determine what pops in my head? The world seems addicted to livin a lie I, I wish I could sit back And relax for once But my gut says we aint seen The half of it And there's people with me Lending helping hands Manifest done taught a nigga What a family is I been searching for this feeling For many of a millennium It’s something bout this bitch That almost got a nigga tearing up Any who as of late I been feeling like it’s way Too many rules I had to break Probably shouldn’t have gotten This deep in with you If that’s the case But i retrace my steps Can’t just blame yourself Pain just led the way for All the ways I made myself Bitch I was born from greatness The ones who lived before me Said not to resort to hatred And life ain’t gone hand you a purpose Bitch you gotta take it Say this that information That’s gonna break you out The matrix Some energy to fill the void When its growing vacant And ain’t no good experiences When you so impatient Baby wait ya turn Fuck around and drop some shit That make em wanna learn the words Even with my prior knowledge Knowing language is a curse Everything is just a tool It’s how you choose to make it work Mane they prolly hate this verse

Kayy & Mack 3:40 in the morning u can worry bout how to bring more in I’mma focus on what I feel is important Gotta lettem live can’t Think for em Mack (Verse 1) Why tf y’all so proud To miss out on what matters U could split a atom Quicker than Adam & Eve split But u rather Smother yaself in these taxes And fees for crackers? please Couldn’t let that be me I got way too much passion to panic bout a mf Economic status. Matter fact I’m laughing at the fact u thought actually care Like ion spend half my time Outside the atmosphere. Kayy & Mack (Hook) 3:40 in the morning u can worry bout how to bring more in I’mma focus on what I feel is important Gotta lettem live can’t Think for em How u stuff enough bud in a blunt For the world to smoke I ain’t stutter know u heard me ho Sometimes shit gotta get much Worse first for it ever gets better. Mack (Verse 2) She like to look up to the sky And ask God why sometimes It’s why we all gotta get High sometimes Body fulla dat uncertainty Never been a spoon feeder My rhyming ain’t nursery The universe ain’t got no Back up plans for emergency Guess the most high ain’t Got that typa common courtesy Either that or errything That is was made perfectly. But idk I’m just writing songs On bourbon street. Kayy & Mack (Switch up) Stuck in the middle Yeah I said keep it centered But you’re running in circles Boxed in, in other words You’re outta shape Mack (Verse 3) At this time of night The stars look like Light bulbs over here My existence is equivalent To proxima that might Go over heads Best not leave em stifled That’d be a trifling Thing to do Kids put down rifles I’d rather be an item with u than become an idol If u feel free enough And trust me my nigga I know that shit don’t come with ease but That’s what we got The weed for That tree of life Be top shelf keep up Yo 16th century advice Do not help Kayy & Mack Stagnant as hell Can’t tell ya what happened It’s 5 hours past twelve.

Genny & Mack [Bridge] Who am I And what is it I want While there’s air In my chest We live & let live But what good is that To folks livin in stress Oh how I wish I only had Solutions for u all Let’s keep it a thou The odds ain’t in All our favor (Verse 2) Wtf u mean the grass Is greener on the other side Ain’t got too many fucks To give won’t lie I’m running out Issa time and place U wait for the bullshit That u tryna pull Don’t do too much U know how karma Can be kinda cruel Sheesh U should be counting blessings But u counting favors Our clocks is counting down But we too busy counting paper Assuming we’ll be here to spend it later Well playa A common mistake Made by rookies While I’m laid out Off this acid The music is where it took me From Baton Rouge To Brooklyn Catholics & Muslims Just making sure the Whole world map Understood me I even practice etymology To get my point a cross But niggas love to be offended now So ion wanna talk They used to call u preachy When niggas was just warning y’all But now errbody is a know it all (Chorus) We followed procedure but that only put us in harm’s way If u taking the highway to hell Just travel down memory lane No I can’t guarantee That one day we’ll all be free What we need Is the truth And not promises fulla deceit

Fractals 02:15
Shinin on these niggas Like waaaaannn I paid the cost to be the boss You fell behind Then that’s on you Enough about me Let’s talk about you When the sun isn’t out At the midnight hour Humans tend to show Their true nature It get evil in that ratchet Niggas do a lot Too much in fact I write more than I sleep I think I lost my pop Because of that Was blazing thru the day For DDG aint talkin Pontiac So what the sun setting Fuck is that to an insomniac I grew up in a cul de sac My neighbor was the Biggest church up in the hood We had one for every corner You would think that did some good Still livin’ the dumb way This that go kidnap the queen And runaway from Pompeii Then walk the land unphased We form a unity circle And yell harambe The back to jocin on Mattie With Nate & Shuntae You had a similar status Give me an Aśe But fuck what I say [Hook] Enough about me Let’s talk about you Enough about me Let’s talk about you (Bridge) See I told you twice I ain’t gone get involved And got damn right I’mma man of my word But would you put your Life on the line If the good ole tables turned Tell no lie (Verse 2) Oh Ms. Mary ya scaring em Keep me outta the business Cause I don’t care for comparisons Y’all gotta habit of causing Second handed embarrassments Overly patriotic quit sounding Like an American And stop with the politicin C’mon nigga we all know You not a villain Yea you prolly was poverty stricken Brought up in the trenches But you had a pot to piss in Now you say I’m outta pocket I ain’t sorry cause the problem More than likely ain’t me it’s you Prolly why they call issues Whole time yo worst enemy Is you, bless ya. Yea and I’m just talking to The enemy Jumping off the leash This a message for the Inner Me Cause anytime I rap about My brother I see a glimpse of me Memories of empathy And envyness caught In between

Power Outage 02:24
You maybe seeing things First let your eyes adjust Cause they’ll play mind tricks U toss n turn While u got both your Eyes wide shut Because the nightmares Keep u up (Verse) Fuse is blown from last night’s storm The party got cut short So no I can’t talk for long Already barely charged my phone The raindrops hit the rooftop steadily With all this background Noise I swear I can’t Hear anything Just how I like it But just on nights like this The silence lies within The loudness Never knew what to with the peace We put 105 On da dash Highway hotbox Speaker on blast Try not to crash While my life is in ya hands And just like the morning i am Tryna break fast Hell I even put my eggs In one pan Floating thru the nebula Hoping I neverland And being nocturnal wasn’t even in the plan [Hook] You maybe seeing things First let your eyes adjust Cause they’ll play mind tricks U toss n turn While u got both your Eyes wide shut Because the nightmares Keep u up

Is u following Or is u leading Is u swimming Or sinkin U livin or dreamin Do u just retreat When u you’re Feeling defeated (Take this a little more than personal) I’ve spent my nights Searching for villains But little did I know The entire time it Was viewed as me So am I a fool For really thinking that I Could ever make a difference Could be 10,000 years Before they see the reality That I see [hook] Despite all you’ve done And all of the trauma considered I still have a thing for u But Is u following Or is u leading Is u swimming Or sinkin U livin or dreamin Do u just retreat When u you’re Feeling defeated (Take this a little more than personal) (Verse 2) Oh u got some nerve Showing your face Around here Like u ain’t did yo dirt Like I ain’t make it clear I hope this shit just Break ya down The second that it Reach ya ears I’d like to tell ya It ain’t personal My nigga but it is So I let it out When it’s all said n done I’ll be done said it all Cause in this world Everything is endangered A realization that’s Oh so painful Despite all you’ve done And all of the trauma considered I still have a thing for u But Is u following Or is u leading Is u swimming Or sinkin U livin or dreamin Do u just retreat When u you’re Feeling defeated (Take this a little more than personal) I retreat, cause I feel defeated more often than not Running from problems and out of concern, that's why you hear me say "Fuck it." a lot Having some guap ain't as good as I thought Probably I'm just not having enough Put on a act and got put on a spot Speeding, but happiness passing me up But hey, what's new? Same 'ole walk in the same 'ole shoes Same 'ole talk on the same 'ole mic Same 'ole dock with the same 'ole view Coo', and this is the part where I get on my hands and my knees to ask God what to do Exhibit A of what poverty do Most of the reason I dropped out of school Yeah (But life goes on) I guess, but where does it go? Personally, I been waiting to blow For as long as my city been waiting for snow Warrant out on me, see twelve and get low If I get pulled over, you already know All of my L's like to line up in rows, and all of my X's then turned into O's So, i'm dolo Do what I want, yolo Drove to the scene in a four do' Still ain't got room for a hoe And the cycle continues, i turn down the venue Cause I just been taking it slow

How many more Reasons can I give em Don’t take my word If it don’t seem pure Kayy & Mack And we found ourselves Walking hand in hand Even tho we both agreed To just a one night stand Are u willing Are u willing & able To stick around a lifetime (Verse) You know how having a Mind of your own be Scaring em I’m only observant Yo insecurities making it Seem like it’s arrogance You wanna hear me being Full of myself I’m fucking this slut With my lab coat on I’m double the man you’ll be in a couple of years But still only half as grown Well, of course I’ll be there When the world Needs a friend A promise is a promise And I’ll keep it till the end So long niggas Never try to sleep on me again I gotta feeling they Will never sleep on me again
