Once you go down this rabbit hole, there is no going back.
Prepare to leave the world you thought you knew, and enter a new one.

Back when I was hearing voices, I was stuck in a pen complaining on what hurt me,
was never talented I couldn’t
express my own challenges thinking I wasn’t normal so I was constantly stuck in a corner
Disabling performance living to see the next day is just a bonus, but what’s a life if your homie ain’t here to enjoy it?
Stuck questioning my identity that haunts me, since a boy I could never understand what ‘walk’ means
This is for the kid who lost it all in the block street, I was ten but it all weighs heavy on my conscience,
my heart full of resentment looking for ways to relieve tension and my depression always hits at the worse times when I’m stressing
But it’s all good thank god for Nicki she’s a blessing
Hitting it daily my lungs know I’m crazy but I’m willing to compensate if I relax off of it
Sorry, in the depths I’m a monster who’s always lacking confidence, the devils watching in looking how complicated it gets
and I got lost in search of lust, let men and women use me just to feel sum
And I’m dying to know who’s the next to do it, pursuing my dreams is something I’m refusing, confusions fogging my brain it’s driving me insane but I keep moving
and the stains that block my path is sure to keep me strain
I just hope my girl know that I’m bout her
Out the shower suicidal thoughts is lower but the lust is louder, came to a point of stuffing my face in powder
Till she came in showed me there’s more than pain and true power
I know that I’m a coward, ran away like pussies do in front of something so beautiful,
shy away from the great is something humans do
Tired of hiding my true self in the midst of color swirls,
tryna be an honest man but I’m stuck on these girls that never cared about me whenever My heart was in a curl
Back when was I dressed in rain I knew I wanted to be like my brother Earl,
I give you heartfelt verses but you never hear it,
smearing blood filled fingers on my phone just for you to clear it,
Know I know you don’t feel me, known each other a while but the love don’t run freely
I’m ya brother and you refuse to believe me
Back in eighth grade when we was all cheery, inseparable even in death when it took one of us nearly
I wish there were more simpler days, you’re a mentor to me and a brother to keep it straight
For KOMA I desire the worlds heart for you, I know I been hard on you, but thank you for sticking around I owe it all to you
Apologize for the disappointment, took a risk for me but Im glad I was anointed
Making music with the best element I’m proud I didn’t join in
Cus of the motivation it gave me to keep going allowed me to construct the gift that was appointed since birth,
Know I pray with my eyes closed and hope our brotherhood don’t burn like old ones who dumped me into the curb.

[KOLLECTOR TZU.]
momma like he keep failing us, idiom for pride just a metaphor, im not regular smash every competitor, lil message cuz tobi said keep it secular
to think ye don did a album like this, gold grillin a golden smile on my wrist, i know that granny gon crack a smile when i spit this one is all for you like koma just watch yo tongue
smoking em got a hole in my lung, trigger finger itching i got the pole on my thumb, i keep telling a lie and i know that it’s dumb but the truth is super sacred it come out and then im scum
doesn’t it apply to all of us, it keeps going light a tree on sum Oliver, converted rappers to ball amare stoudemire
2019 i just been freefalling- tired of getting up son, i just keep falling, sober life ain’t working spliffy just keep calling, im in a room a cup of loko like meet Marvin, mind body and soul government’s 3 targets, sorry ma im dropping ounces on green carpet, easy for em to critique reality gets hardest, session melted the Stu and i just keep walking
realness what i inherit and i know they in denial u can hear it in my lyrics, bless my auntie nice lady with a good heart, deep down she carry my granny spirit, got em looking really different, hate me im egotistical
they inspect every line like it’s a physical, more money for my mind it is pivotal, i did this with a handicap u pitiful
u so forgettable,
[Thiago Frazier]
the nine to five a necessity, time to find equity
if it's about drive, monetize your specialty
big talk for someone who aint charge for features
raw, imma don like Islamic teachers
catching on to blood suckers and common leeches
y'all must've forgot how far karma reaches, preach (!)
imma product of God, he's my (talent scout)
crying at the thought of buying my (mom and dad a house )
who tryna rat me out? who tryna (sleep on my progress?)
who tryna (open my dm's?) who tryna (keep me honest?)
all alone at the top
ain't much changed since (rock bottom)
but I'm confident a watch and chain won't solve my problems
(yuh), I'm in my Drake bag
come for my family, no take backs
back in the day when I had a day pass
momma was paying, now it's no pain when I pay cash
you're currently listening to the (next main attraction)
I'm eighteen but it's like I had decades of practice (sheesh)
the hunger still there like I'm intermittent fastin'
getting rid of (flippant habits and inconsiderate actions)
lemon pepper candle, my room smell like Atlanta
I'm what the - games been missing call me juelz santana
thought I was new school, I just (blew through standards)
the shoe already fit but I (knew you'd answer) for real
I come with a lot of complications inside me
might hire somebody to do my deciding
(is the suit Armani? is the cuban designer?
is the whole crew solid?) cuz that's all that matters
perform your plays to perfection how we was taught to practice
be the team leader or start packin'
I keep queens and kings in my circle like it's a (poker hand)
always down for my dogs, similar to the (yoga stance)
I owe my fans a home-vid of Frazier in lederhosen doin (polka dances)
for the love they show me and I don't mean (holding hands)
tryna be well known in Rome and France
and you know how I hold my plans
[tobi.]
Yeah,
4 months in, vision still hazy from all of the gin.
I been practicing my rhymes it’s like a hollow tip
The stories I describe are painted as grim and you should keep yourself checked, or get it like the rest who got it stuck to their neck. Took a while to realize I’m blessed With a talent so I progress
My business so slim it ain’t ever get so shady, keep the Marshal law up it all Mathers to the ladies
Recent feelings of being a burden darkens my curtains while the bottle has me slurring,
my eyesight blurry,
in hindsight I shoulda done better,
in hindsight I shoulda been quicker,
In hindsight I shoulda festered what i had maybe now I could’ve had more progession.
But I chose this as my profession, my mamas eyes rolling she thinking I’m the one to cause Armageddon,
but ima get it how I want and my feet has been walking thru trenches longer than I thought.
I was happy once and now it’s gone,
I painted my ego in sculptures the perfect man to influence my own culture.
made advances,
call me maybe I’ll coach ya
Glad for the pad and pen that kept me going
These liquid swords cover more borders I chose the warmongers, since they told brothers they were our fathers,
guess it all comes around lately, questioning if they love me they prolly hate me.
Am I a good man? I don’t know maybe it’s up for those in the throne to decide with their mortal minds
I’ve been mortified at the sight of boys like me who are far behind
All I know is god is a woman and she’s divine, karma coming right at us from behind so keep it in check and keep moving
Not even God can stop this kinda movement
Black Thoughts cover my loss it’s deep rooted
Glad I met the woman who’s influence drove me thru it
Monse’s the reason that I do it, stuck on being successful in the midst of my music
Time passed I know I’m the truest, surpassed the expectations no more proving
I’m removing you students including those who think the life I’m choosing is wrong when you know well that my voice soothing
Producing a better cadence, you hate it but I’m gifted by this talent safe to say I made it.
Writing on fine papers my pen ink-less but somehow it’s still thinking of better rhymes of making
Braggadocio settling in, new girl love me I feel it meddling in, much love to TZU and Frazier - iconic men ain’t no way of discrediting them.

I watch 'em all pass by the moon and stars
Let me hold him in my arms, forevermore
These cold nights, the park is ours
Standing by the side
Let you go on
To the sea, just for me
Don't ever leave me, my love
Keep holding on, let the modest go
As my mind goes to and fro
Waking up for one more show
We see him in the night
Tell him I'm not afraid of him
I'm not afraid of 'em, 'cause I won't know

I lost you over some trust, I lost you cus I couldn’t give enough,
I’m at fault but just don’t run away from me darling
Just don’t away from me darling
Are you still in love?
Would you take me back if all I did was run?
Would you come back if I wrote your name in blood?
Would you come back if all I could do was love?
I could right my wrongs but when I’m done you’d be gone,
loneliness destroying me my problems are avoiding me, solace is ignoring me
According to my beliefs I’ll die shortly and when I leave everybody rests in peace
My body weighs heavily on my mind, you’re all I need - all of me calls on you to rest on me in time
If only Olly could see the glory I was able to find
Just don’t run away, and I’ll show you that you was never left behind
