Intro 02:24
I like how everybody thinks that they can fuck with me, But they just talk, and talk is cheap, they a buck fifty, Vodka makes me vomit, I never touch whiskey, And I take my fucking time, I never nut quickly, They ask, what’s with me? They thought I wouldn’t do it, But I did it so that I can say they couldn’t prove it, This is good improvement, I shouldn’t use it, But they don’t notice the progress ‘till every foot is moving, I am just human, I adjust to movement, And most these rappers make rap look fucking stupid, I mean, what’s the use when, you’re all drunk and zooted You think a busters true but he don’t have the guts to prove it, Shit, cut the music, I’ll call your bluff and bruise it, I got my down bitch, that’s why I’d never fuck a groupie, My click went from getting rich to some drug abusers, How am I still underground when I’m above the sewers? How I love the rumors, but how I hate your faces, Even if it kills me I will take your places, I think it’s safe to say this, I’ll erase the traces, You couldn’t keep up even if I brought it straight to basics, Top card, like the ace of spades is, You’re not hard you faggots need to act your ages, I’ll bring it back like tre flips, and then I’ll crash the spaceship, Lately there’s only a few I choose to pass my days with, My daughter blessed this cursed earth with her perfect presence, And wasting time away from her is never worth a second, I see my future anytime I look in her direction, I love her more than my own life, so she deserves protection, And she deserves affection, there’s a sure connection, A mix of momma and her daddy rests in her complexion, Enough about that, this is my business, you just heard the message, Get a clue, it was ghost in the basement the microphone was the murder weapon, And I’m turning heads when, I’m going in like the entrance, That’s just depends on the pendulum spinning, then write a sentence, I got this flow that overflows boats, that’s dope like syringes, I hope you noticed this ghost, ain’t like you folks man you trippin’, Act like you walking on water, man it’s frozen you slippin’, You must embarrass your father, I see hoes that need pimpin’, I think I’ve come a long way, from doing coke in the kitchen, To standing on stage tonight, man I just hope that you listen

Picture perfect in fragments, It leads us, into madness, Losing my mind, Choose to use rhymes, Moving through time, As it passes, Crashes into ashes, Trust is gone, where is cassius? My shadows back and he’s brought a friend, Into the casket, ghost relaxes, But I’m asking, How’s this any different than it was before, Despite the fight I’m facing, time is racing as it’s shuts the door, Not expecting what’s in store, I don’t want to touch the floor, The end is what we’re rushing towards, I can’t take no fucking more, Cut the cords, I’m in the middle of the something that I can’t explain, Every day is the same, At least for me, but she, makes it piece by piece, I still try to reach my dreams, and you have made this beast unleashed, At least I have the decency, to resent all my evil deeds, I kept them closed in secrecy, forgetting don’t come easily But seeing these, people always saying what I need to be, Has left me feeling stupid, shallow, so close to complete defeat But I’m always on time, always gonna be the one to love you after we fall And I’m always gonna try, always gonna see the world as what we deserve I’ll free the bird, after dark This industry is backwards, It ignores real rappers, As it supports these actors, It’s hard to force my laughter, I’m the storm that’s after, I’m the boy that tore your stafford, I’m this certain form of matter, One performance leave you captured, A disaster, moving faster, than these bastards with generic tats, My generation is an embarrassment, where there parents at? My reflection’s staring back, and I’ve got nothing to say when I’m looking at ‘em, I can hardly share these raps, I’m not cool enough, you think you’re fooling us, You’re not close to ready for real life, if you think school is tough, I’m moving through these days, and there’s only few that you can trust, Most will move into the dust, wanting something new to touch, I knew this much back when I was focused on the mean time, With a world falling apart, I learned how to seem fine, These rhymes, confessed every second that breezed by, From seeds to trees, why do they wonder why we try?

Everything has changed now, I don’t live my life underneath the same cloud, it came down, Let the rain drown everything I used to, be I was like “okay, bounce.” Strange sounds that explain how I’m fucking tense, You’d be the same if you knew what I was up against, You take such offense when I cuss and cringe, I was stupid to believe that nothing ends, SD’s so far apart it’s like we wasn’t friends, Or weren’t friends, it’s turns grim, I be in the motha fuckin darkness till I’m fucking dead but None of this concerns them Little Lilly and the home that we’re building for the three of us, I’m beaten up from working every night, at least we’re eating what, Do you believe in? I don’t see many people like me who can even breathe this stuff, All I really need is luck and a couple of bucks, and hopefully I can punk some punks to bump my shit, I’m sure they’d like it, if they’d try it, start a riot, bunch of sluts in pumps on my dick, How you supposed to know how it is, if you don’t live how I live? When you’ve seen half the shit that I’ve seen and life’s like a dream, you don’t even wanna close your eye lids, Look what I did, gotta bunch of chumps noddin they heads like they faded on H, No medal for the glory, won’t settle for a story, I know the devils waiting for me, he was saving my place, Facing those gates, embracing those dates, Pacing both ways, makes the ghost stay, A patient that won’t wait, Mason don’t say it, What a shame, just wasting those days

Trying to hit this? Fuck nah, I don’t need a witness, I don’t need to kick it with you bitches, I don’t need a sentence, I don’t need fake friends and fences, I just want to see this in the distance, This is for the misfits, this is for you stuck outside the entrance, And even those inside who won’t ever find the difference, But they start looking at me crazy, tell me that I’m tripping, Man my shoes are tied tight, so maybe you should listen, If I hit that, I’ll regret it, it’s pathetic but it’s true, And through and through, I don’t get enough credit, but it’s due, If you check it from my view, and if you step into my shoes, You’d see other things to do, with every second that I’d lose, Now who’s that? That new cat that moves raps with, Such class and rapid action through traffic, Dude that’s the ghost, and he’s just too savage, For you bastards, with snap backs that spew whack shit I’d follow roads, greed leading, try to settle the score, I used to be a speed demon, straight peddle to floor, I came from this to that, split the sack, looking for a clip to strap, Unzip the bag, puff, cough, flick the ash, rip the track, Almost every dollar earned, was burned to a fix, They used to be enemies, then they turned into licks, Met alotta dope dealers, and we learned from their tips, That’s why I take what I make and I earn what I get, Follow the leader, as we devour the weaker, Losing faith in yourself is what brings the crowd to a preacher, How is it even close to breathe in the smoke the room contains? Swear to god it brings me back, like boomerangs, Through them days, just kids but we knew the game, Now it seems like it’s only you, who remains, Through them veins, you don’t even have to ask me, I put that in the ash with my past you can pass me
5.
Before we become extinct, let’s think Is this the future we’ll connect to the next link? Life keeps my flesh pink, and it makes my breath stink, And every breath I breathe in also makes my chest sink, Our actions are what happened, In the past tense but impacting, What will happen, so I’m asking, Will our future start collapsing? -cuz we act in such a manner, it’s harassment to the passing, As if our hearts have blackened, gotta have it, gotta jack him, The material things make up for what it is we’re lacking, And everyone that’s rapping’s always talking bout their stacking, Or their trapping, and they always gotta have their crew to back’em, Pistol packing to distract from the fact that they’re just whack and, I’m a mother fucking gangster, yeah we’ll gangster's don’t rap, They do it for the spot light but they claiming they bad, So what makes a person try to say that they’re that, They’re just trying to live up to this name that they have, Think about it I’m gonna make new foot prints, following my own road, It might make you look tense, hollering yolo, But I think reincarnation is something that we don’t know, The truth is hard to handle, but I’m swallowing it solo, Still reside in como, moved out of my old folks, Still got this cold flow but don’t need to show boat, Most things change but somethings don’t so, If I’m put back in that hole, I guarantee I won’t grow, That’s the truth as it moves, inside of my head, No bible beside of my bed, fighting but sobriety led, This ain’t just me this is you, and what society says, I believe in what we leave behind when finally dead, Analyze it til it’s down right boring, How we always try to blame it on the outside sources, It’s the down sized portions, my empty bank account, Think of when, think of then, think of now

Changes 04:02
Misery loves company like junkies love dope, Things will be a lot worse when the money don’t flow, I can’t run away, from what I’ve done today, Insufficient funds, I’m hungry and underpaid, It’s discouraging to see, all these talentless acts, Getting paid, but for me life keeps throwing these challenges back, The balance is whack, I’m trying to find where my palace is at, I devour tracks and now you heard so now it’s a fact, Ghost goes with no slow, but a limp in his step, A crick in his neck, everything is spent from his check, His mind is on his rent and his debts, living in stress, They take so much and now they’re giving him less, He tends to impress anyone that gives him a sec, Driven, and every minute he is swimming in sweat, He defends and protects all his friends with his best, But with the path that he was on, it was like prison was next, Moving through changes trying to find an identity, Blinded by enemies, but time is infinity, So we travel through the gravel, chasing it to the pavement, My grinding will finish me Disconnected from myself, and everything that I've written in the past week doesn’t do it like it used to, Maybe it’s this new view, Maybe it’s all of the beautiful things that you do, Yeah but who knew? With a few clues I'll choose to live good, If I couldn’t do it myself than my kid could, And it should, and I’ll give this a big push, Until the problems cease to exist like big foot Let’s have a toast for those who are supposed to be, close to me, but chose to leave, I didn’t think being sober means, being alone, but oh, so it seems, This poetry flows ocean deep, the water’s so cold that my toes would freeze, If I stepped in, but I hope so hopefully, That you’d speak openly, that’s what you owe to me Moving through changes trying to find an identity, Blinded by enemies, but time is infinity, So we travel through the gravel, chasing it to the pavement, My grinding will finish me
