[Part I] Back on the track Rippin the mic Grippin the mic And I don’t plan to give it back, huh Psyched (ed) (ed) up Not givin up Just lacin up And you’d better listen up, huh In the game boy, ready to advance You can keep playin while I’m taking my chance Young Leo when I’m in this stance Know from the first glance, even at a distance Born in ’88 I guess I got 2 dragon balls (super) Before the Winter Springs and the Summer Falls I’m gonna give my all and just break these walls No need to hit the brakes, ain’t got no time to stall On some dopamine, gotta be dope I mean I’m Also Known as A G Always Hustlin Go Hard or Go Home: I’ve never been home ever since in- -stead of making me lose them, it helped me sharpen my senses Now it’s all crystal clear, I don’t need no fucking lenses Promises made to myself, to reach the stars I’m on some Sirius shit And if you count em so far, they up to par This is a serious shit Providing the fundamentals To fund the mental Free like we’re Rudimental Yeah it is what is So stop your floccinaucinihilipilification [Bridge] Yeah Don’t neglect, see the effect… [Part II] Got a Master’s degree, not a slave anymore? Chains in my mind: not anymore? In this brave new world, Aldous Huxley If you ain’t know, ‘d better look it up (hmm) Time passes by, some things don’t change Time passes by, some things done change Think about it even if it might seem strange Ending up with a brain rearranged I only believe in Universal Laws Who created the universe Allah? Fear does still work: amygdala Be careful where your attention draws You should try going places See different faces You’d realize there’s just one race, the right analysis Me I’m just walking the path Less worried bout the past Confident about the future, enjoying the moment while it lasts (And) If life is A B, C, Imma give her my D slowl E: The Longest Intro The Longest Intro The Longest Intro

Verse 1 All this stress in my mind, right Cannot sleep even at night Hard to make up my mind, right But I gotta find a way, my fight Damn! What should I do? Life would be so tough, (uh) I never knew What wouldn't I do (uh) to start anew But shit so confused. TV: just got bad news A bitter pill that I won't take A better fill's what I wann' make That's how I feel, and I won't let Anything stop me, no time for regrets Go place your bets and roll the dice A lucky cat lookin' for mice Keepin' it raw like I'm eatin' sushi Implyin' for sure (that) Imma need me some rice! My baby mama addicted to drama Said she has lost hope in Obama Even though they say he's killed Osama We're still at war inside, see the trauma Our daily lives always rhyme with struggle In this jungle, better rumble Otherwise life will knock you out! We just tryna find our way out I'm the man, so I gotta act Can't accept to lose, that's a fact If you know then you know So don't be so judgemental These hardships fuck up my mental Survival isn't illegal So I gotta do what I gotta do and what's next: Only God knows...nigga! Chorus Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat (Gotta eat) Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat (I'm starvin') Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat (I'm hungry) Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat Man I gotta eat, Man I, Man I, gotta eat (Gotta eat) Man I gotta eat, Man I, Man I, gotta eat (Gotta eat) Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat Man I gotta eat, Man I, gotta eat Verse 2 “By the sweat of your face, shall you eat bread” If you look into my eyes , you might see some red... By the way it's hot down here, you could lose your head Then caught up by the feds and/or end up dead Man I was born to ball I cannot fall From the bottom see me crawl You can call whoever you want I'm not appalled I'll just reply “fuck all y'all” All I want is grow my money tall Yes! ASAP for a better tomorr(ow) I am riskin it all, stakin' it all No matter what'll befall... ...Me, the, only jobs I seem to find are so dirty Like I'm Mike Rowe, now get ready to get dirty But my life ain't, a scripted TV series on (the) Discovery Channel, I guess somebody's gotta do it I'm just a product of my environment I didn't choose this predicament "I am not what happened to me I am what I choose to become" That's what some people be sayin But it's hard to think when you're hungry An empty belly has no ears A hungry man is an angry man Hence: Chorus Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat (Gotta eat) Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat (I'm starvin') Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat (I'm hungry) Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat Man I gotta eat, Man I, Man I, gotta eat (Gotta eat) Man I gotta eat, Man I, Man I, gotta eat (Gotta eat) Bread, cheese, cake, chips, man I gotta eat Man I gotta eat, Man I, gotta eat

[Verse 1] Loner: A Person who is or prefers to be alone (Yeah) I am this kind of guy Feelin myself (yeah) when I'm in my zone I do let It be known That I'm not afraid (yeah) to be on my own I'm grown A King is a King, two can't sit on the same throne Don't think I'm agoraphobic, Or anti-social I, need Space but (I'm) not claustrophobic I'm not asocial I do meet new people in my life, but I Keep on keeping my circle tight Trust is a must But nowadays it's just like gold rust As long as we vibe along It means we can get along And no matter where we're from Same places or different hoods We're gonna get out the woods Where some people wish they could More action that's what we do And let It be understood It's said: you can't choose Your family but you can choose you friends The beginning not the end Blood is thicker than water Amen! Don't get it wrong, hey man! Dig into yourself, (then) maybe you'll feel the same Introspection is the name If you didn't know, no need to feel ashamed Just try it and feel your inner flame [Chorus 1] It's true I'm a loner But I have some friends tho! The fewer the better Cuz realness so rare, so! My circle get smarter No more time to waste, nope! And everytime we hang out The aura we got So ridiculous , That it'll make you bounce That it'll make you bounce That it'll make you bounce Man it's So insane, That it'll make you bounce That it'll make you bounce That it'll make you bounce And you can't fade us, So you'd better Just Bounce You can't kill our vibe, So you'd better Just vibe, right?! [Verse 2] The scene is set From moonlights to sunset We Have our code of ethics Matrix, Mathematics Rules, team spirit Take It or leave It That's Just The way I decided to embrace this life and I LIVE IT! (huh) I'll be damned If for my team I don't stand (for) If I ever put some grands before them, like 'damn' Understand (that) it's always, bros before hoes May the fake be exposed And you alredy know (no?!) We ride for each other (we ride for each other) We die for each other (we die for each other) We support each other (we support each other) We encourage each other (It's) Death before dishonor (We're) Tellin the truth Your honor (huh) No snitching we The po-po (They) Thinking we In love with The Co-Co If one hits the billi, It means The others soon gon get a milli (soon gon get a milli) The responsibility is ours, we gon go and get it (gon go and get it) Evolution is still in our minds, stayin on the daily grind We fight for the cause (because) it's the Life (that) we chose (And once again) May The fake be exposed [Chorus 2] It's true I'm a loner But I have some friends tho! The fewer the better Cuz realness so rare, so! My people get smarter No more time to waste, nope!

[Verse 3] The Renaissance (brand new) Aiming for Excellence Langston Hughesness Hugeness Not the useless Consciousness (levels) Awareness Till we victorious (Yeah) We are on some egregor shit Awesome power of thoughts shit On, the same Mission shit Together we stand (together we stand) Divided we fall (divided we Fall) It started small But wait until the roll call Everyone's his own behavior Sometimes you might think they need a savior For having such a misbehavior But don't forget In (that same) human nature You may find loyalty (and love) for sure (Al)though you can fuck all that That's what's good in being a loner That's what's good in being a loner That's what the loners, all agree on Some people are here for a reason And some others for a season But If you can find (at least) one good reason Then you'll be able to relate to What Yeezy said in 2 0 1 2 "Ain't nobody fuckin with my clique" [Outro] "Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has"

Verse 1 Another day, here we go again You have challenges to face again Motivation's needed in your brain Some say ‘no pain no gain ‘ You doin’ extra hours but it never seems enough You eatin’ on the run, no matter the foodstuff You workin ur ass off, dealin with tough stuff Having no idea when it will end, that's rough! Your boss needs these reports, he ain't leavin you alone He be trying to drag you into the stress zone Cuz the Board of Directors, (they) do always want more Last year results were so good, they are screaming "Encore" Your parents (are) growing older and they want some grandkids They think you're becoming such a workaholic That it's not the way you gon find a husband (Damn!) Strain over here, hassle over there (Wooh!) Plus your friends are all getting engaged Which doesn't make things easier Some even think you're mad or enraged Faking getting busier (Uh) But they don't see the bigger picture (Cuz) they've all been mind-framed (You) don't blame it on the scripture(s) Only God and you know where you're headed (for) You're not big-headed, you are just bull-headed From your dream job, very soon you'll resign A bad news for some, but by you it's fine For a while you've been dying to start your own business Passion plus Hard Work equals Success Single or not, right now you're single feeling great "Ain't nobody got time for that", maybe later, just wait When they think they know what's good for you Tellin you what you should do They be gettin on your nerves Keep Calm And Just Chorus Chill the fuck out (x8) You need to chill the fuck out (singing part) you need to chill the fuck out, then do what you gotta do (just do it) Do what you gotta do (just do it), yeah Verse 2 Another day, here we go again You Have challenges to face again Motivation's needed in your brain Some say no pain no gain Uh, You have an overflowing imagination But lately you've been having such a bad reputation Going from failures to failures For some you're the perfect definition of a loser What they don't know: you learned from your mistakes You have a great idea, now you really got what it takes All you need is big finance given the stakes This time it's gonna work, you're thrilled, your heart quakes Plus your mama is tired, she says "bring money to the table" Your so-called friends suggest to get a regular job, #stable When they think they know what's good for you Tellin you what you should do They be gettin on your nerves Keep Calm And Just Chorus Chill the fuck out (x8) You need to chill the fuck out (singing part) you need to chill the fuck out, then do what you gotta do (just do it) Do what you gotta do (just do it), yeah

First she made me wanna step 1 2 Then she made me wanna check the mic 1 2 Back in the days when I was a youngblood Was drinking pure water, never ready for the flood Wasn’t really paying attention to HER Busy feelin good vibes from my M.O.T.HER It wasn’t all perfect yet so vivid no blur A dreamy life I thought nothing could alter Yeah, not even my F.A.T.HER How nice it was to be the youngest B.R.O.T.HER No I wasn’t spoiled, just loved and blessed Big-hearted mom, a dove, oh yes! But then… Fidgety child turned into a shy guy Tragedy in the family, hard to say goodbye God works in mysterious ways It was the end of the good and delirious days (hey!) I was in my bubble, troubled Not knowing who to talk to How to talk to Then she came to me She told me we were both celebrated the same day That anytime I want it, she could help me find my way All I had to do was to simply press play She could help me fly away, anytime I fade away Like I’m on an X-Wing facing my fears She brought in a new hope and the shit (is) dope The strength if I’m ever at the end of my rope “Ever thought of cutting off ties with her?” Nope! She’s there when these other girls tryna play me for a fool When some dudes really wanna tryna make me lose my cool She taught me expressions like: Karma is a b***h… What goes around comes around… And she taught me more than these… …Things that I can’t always write down on my sheets Streets she be in, with me, up all night like sh*t Sh*t transcendental I can’t really explain Plain is the view, so I be making some plans Plans is what’s gonna make me reach my goals Goals can help you have a purposeful life Life is all about finding yourself Your self is something that you must love Love’s definitely something worth sharing Sharing is what she be doing from the start The start is not the same for everyone… Everyone needs someone who can always be here when needed, someone always willing to give an ear to whatever we wanna say, someone to talk to Even if what we wanna discuss is too-too She’s the love of my life The love of my life I’m not her only one (I know) But I still f**k with her (though!) You can call her Hip-Hop You can call her Music She takes me lightyears… Ain’t it right, Hokube?!

Hey! It's not something that I usually do Even if this might sound cliché to you Girl I saw walking through (the alley) Looking familiar like a déjà vu It's said "We don't meet people by accident. they are meant to cross our path". Is it a happenstance? Let me take my chance, given that we're on the same footpath. Do you know the reason why we met? Were you sent to distract me? Cuz lately I've been trying to stay focused (I) got a lot on my mind, I got goals to achieve Everybody got some dreams to believe in, keeping the faith is the way that I live Giving my all until it's time to receive N.Hill: Whatever the mind can conceive... ...but wait I don't wanna get you confused I'd rather set the record straight Than waste your precious time And I don't want you to waste mine But it's fine But tell me: Are you on some Cindy Lauper shit U know: Girls just wanna Have fun shit Or contrairiwise You're more wise like: Michelle, Solange, Jada Alicia, Betty, Coretta And If it's the case, can we assume that...
