Last year I was boxed in
This year it's a top ten
Sorry for the absences
I just haven't been the same since
The fire never died down
Because the studio was fumigated
Very blessed to be alive now
Because they said very few would make it
Quickly agitated, sorry for my lack a patients
Hella frustrated i promise you cant replace em
I cant wait fo the day to tell my pops I made it
But where do you go from here ? where do you go from here
I just wanna see thing clear, I just wanna see things clear
Reflections of a smokey mirror
They never payed attention so of course they couldnt hear ya
The grass was never greener screaming from the other side
The grass was never greener screaming from the other side
Hook
And I will
Do what I got to do
Just to show em that's it real
And I know, these lights are all for show
I just wanna get it all
Can you see that this is what I bleed
I just wanna feel free, took a second just to breath.
Verse
Baselines and poetry
I prefer the sober me
Couple big festivals and showcases over seas
Olympia in Paris rapping melodies
Earth, wind, and fire was the memody
Fuck what they thinkining cuz they aint never really knew ya
Imat the bar spinning vinyls chilling in shibuya
Now thats the future holding
Whos in my future moments
I hope my homies hold it down for all the love I showed them
And when they tears fell down they always had my shoulders
We ain't chillin like we used to cuz we getting older
And honestly im kinda getting use to it
I learned from my mistakes and all the stupid shit
I see the birds with a hitchcock vision
Through the grapevine with marvine gaye singing
I'm just here to find love but that shit is still missing
I'm just here to find love but that shit is still missing
Hook
And I will
Do what I got to do
Just to show em that's it real
And I know, these lights are all for show
I just wanna get it all
Can you see that this is what I bleed
I just wanna feel free, took a second just to breath
Outro
And I will
Hey
And I see
Yeah
I just say i want it all
Took a second just to breath
Yeah

They Say
03:32
|

Verse 1
Searching for my Annie Hall
It's looking like she’ll never call
I hear the clock ticking on the walls
The hands of time always tell it all
It’s like a Spike Lee Joint, let's open up the dialogue and get to the point
Here to build a rapor, lost up in the non senses what we arguing for ?
Do you believe ? That love is like a light that will shine upon a tree.
A coupe branches broke, but we can blame the breeze
Thats when winter came along and I was left alone to freeze
Hook
They say, I miss you is the hardest thing to say
Your miss calls just don't come around this way, no more
We missed our shot went are separte ways
We never cleared the mess we made
Never, never
Verse 2
She said that it's alright (That's what she told me)
So we gazed at the moonlight
Tell me who you really are ? (She don't even know me)
Have you ever seen a shooting star ?
Shared a conversation that was lost in translation
Through the colors of the scenery that spilled over that canvas
And painted out the answer to the questions we were asking
She never believed in magic, until she seen it happen.
Life is hella abstract, It’s hard to understand that
Living life through a different lens, damn I wish I had that
In all in all she never called, never was my wonderwall
I am not the type to fall, sending out my best regards
Cuz after all that’s all we got
Let's raise our glasses high and cheers to everything we not
Hook 2
They say, I miss you is the hardest thing to say
Your miss calls just don't come around this way, no more
We missed our shot went are separte ways
We never cleared the mess we made
Never, never
Verse 3
They don't know, what we had
They dont know how shes fine
I feel blue, when I think of you
All I know , is that she ain't here no mo
she ain't here no mo x3
Searching for my Annie Hall
It's looking like she’ll never call
I hear the clock ticking on the walls
The hands of time always tell it all

Buzzin
03:00
|
|||
If I wrote it i'm devoted if you haven't noticed
Young boy driving but the whip was stolen
Victim to the moment but his heart was golden
Couldn't pay attention cuz he cant afford it.
Kept it buzzing like a light year
I saw my dreams through a nightmare
These demons never fight fair
Understood the game plan quite clear
I can see the vision but nowadays shit is so elusive
Who the truest, you couldn't do this I make maneuvers
Are you stupid ? I kept it moving like call the movers
I got it buzzin to be something I had to do it.
Hook
I aint even mean that, sorry if you seen that, i've just been somebody else.
Its hard to find some me time, promise that ill be fine looking for my inner self.
But I did what I did, and I am who I am, and that never gon change
And I say what I live and live what I say but we still stuck up in a game
Verse 2
Since a youngin, I got it buzzin fresh out the oven
Smoking shisha out in Paris with my arab cousins
Teachers tryna speak but I ain't hearing nothing
Maybe a lack of loving ? Or a lost connection
Stuck at a intersection with colors of my complexion
Better cherish all your imperfections
I know a lot of people running from they own reflection
I just felt it then I wrote it, In a garden full of roses
Overlooking the ocean, with these words I never told em
That magically turned to poems, then drawn in illustration
The one thing I know about the game it's all patients
Places are not spacious, only a few make it
Believe it if you say it, believe it if you write
These words got me buzzin and homie I can't fight it
The struggle to stay quite
Hook
I aint even mean that, sorry if you seen that, i've just been somebody else.
Its hard to find some me time, promise that ill be fine lookin for my inner self.
But I did what I did, and I am who I am, and that never gon change
And I say what I live and live what I say but we still stuck up in a game
Outro
I just want to live my life the way its meant to be
Searching for euphoria, a state of exscay
I remember when I lost my mind cuz thats what set me free
The studio was always blue and it took sometime to see.

Never Thought
04:01
|
|||
Heaven must of sent some kind of angel
Never thought the game would swing my way
Im seeing the lights glowing deep into the distance
That's where I want to go, far as the eye can see
Verse
Never thought that I would make it here
It's rather unbelievable
Came to conquer all my deepest fears
and everything we deem intangible.
Im really blessed I didn't do this on my own
Because of you I have a place called home
Remember grade 10, I was the shit back then
No church in the wild since I watched that throne
And ever since then, Nothing been the same
A Pimp To a Butterfly, I miss my mothers eyes
Learnt through the pain and what I realized
That every single story has a second side
These songs are a exscape for me
And hopefully they take me where I wanna be
Next to a ocean on my mountain that i've never seen
I'm just here to manifest my every dream.
Hook
Heaven must of sent some kind of angel
Never thought the game would swing my way
Im seeing the lights glowing deep into the distance
That's where I want to go, far as the eye can see
Verse
They say seeing is believing
I see the snow flakes falling in the evening
The reflections from the lights seem so appeasing
The reflections in the night I couldn't see em
I heard the wind blow whispering that it cries mary
It gets cold up in february
And nowadays shit is hella scary (why)
Cuz everything is over saturated
Heavily calculated writing down my every move
Never graduated like I got a point to prove
Dropped out at least twice I wasn't made for collage
Started hitting up jam sessions with other artist
Life is what you make of it
Writing down words hoping you can relate to em
Already told you that these words are an escape for him
Next to a ocean on a mountain that i've never been
Hook
Heaven must of sent some kind of angel
Never thought the game would swing my way
Im seeing the lights glowing deep into the distance
That's where I want to go, far as the eye can see
Outro
Tryna find my way jumping over broken glass
Washing out the stains from memories that never last
They never last, never last
I am not content with where I am or stand today
But if we stay together I hope that we will find a way
We’ll find a way
Heaven must of sent some kind of angel
Heaven must of sent some kind of angel

Waves
03:07
|
|||
The waves in the water tend to ripple to the shore
Hear the silences on the lake, it’s golden and it's pure
The leaves are falling down, currently changing course
I sense a little danger but that’s part of the allure
Basic human nature, we always want more
Go and check the back if you ain’t got it in the store
And more than half of marriages end up in divorce
I lived it first hand, I’m a credible source
And all of these unknown shades are complicated of course
Better watch what you measure or get lost in the sauce
My shoulders are feeling heavy, it's been adding to the stress
I saw death around the corner so we played a game of chess
It’s hard to get it right, living life with nothing left
Cigarettes and regrets, struggling check to check
What a mess, nevertheless I know that I’m blessed
Cuz I’m at peace with my sins and I shall never confess, yes
Lost in the waves
I’m just lost in the waves
I’m just lost in the waves
Stuck here for days
Lost in the waves
I’m just lost in the waves (waves)
I’m just lost in the waves (waves)
I'm just lost in the ...
The Moon rises, the tide comes in
I just wonder when shits gonna give
Drowning, I just can't live
If you don't do it for yourself, do it for the kids
The storm is getting closer
Tell me how I’m supposed to
Live up to the excellence of idols on my poster
Yes the pressure is applied, increased and amplified
Scared of the journey the reason he terrorized
I see the treasure in your eyes, just keep an open mind
Of course there's flaws in a design but that mistake just wasn't mine
Bathing in the darkness where the sun will never shine
Faded of the shadows cuz loves forever blind
The waves in the water tend to ripple to the shore
The silence on the lake, is golden and it's pure
I’m just lost in the waves (waves)
I’m just lost in the waves (waves)
I’m just lost in the ... (waves)
(Waves)
(I’m just lost in the...)

5680 rue Bach (Part 2)
04:01
|
|||
Gone but not forgotten
Issues tend to linger on cuz we dont talk about em
That shits just bottled up inside em
And I aint tryna speak to em I rather hear the silence (much rather hear the silence)
Woken up by the sirens and the rain hitting the concrete
I aint getting no sleep, you can see in my face
Heavy bags under my eyes,
feelings out of place so I just rather step aside
Before the moments turn awry
I lost a driving force that you took with you ofcourse
At Least I got these memories that I can reinforce
Stranded on a ocean, life set it course
It ain't the same without you miss you more and more
Hook
I can always find you when I catch my breath
I can feel the light you left behind
I hold on to the todays
That brought me here today
If your shine last forever can you light up my way
Verse
Reluctant just to write this, my ego made me fight it
Didn't want to be morbid my image was more important
Then my feeling that's crazy when you really think about it
But damn I felt like no one asked about it
So I went ahead and carried on
Convinced myself to write a song, for loved ones that have passed along
Jotting down the pain
The visions of all vizzy's I will never lose your chain
And since I lost my grand pops it's been the same
Sunday on the south, cooking in the kitchen
Spices and aromas and reminders that I miss him
And every show I have I know you sitting in the crowd
Gone but not forgotten I just hope to make you proud.
Hook
I can always find you when I catch my breath
I can feel the light you left behind
I hold on to the todays
That brought me here today
If your shine last forever can you light up my way
Outro
I can feel your light
Solace in my mind
And through space and time
I can feel your light
I can feel your light
Solace in my mind
And through space and time
I can feel your light
I can feel your light
Solace in my mind
And through space and time
I can feel your light

I Need You
03:15
|
|||
Never thought that I can find
Something I can confide in
All we got is time
Seeking for silvering linings
You gave me something to believe in
That's all I ever needed
I exceeded expectations
Some see it then they hate it
But those are signs of greatness
Inside, my heart is aching
It’s something with my ego
I go wherever she goes
Pictures never perfect so let’s focus on the b-roll
Focused on myself, tryna be more like my heroes
It’s love over hate, homie that's how we roll
But you are mistaken
I am not with that fake shit
You can not measure my greatness
Damn, I’ve been so patient
I need you here right by my side
We can watch the sunset while the day goes by
You got the strings to my soul, I just don't know why
I need you, I need you
(Hey, can I take you to the bridge?)
(Hey, come on, can I take you to the bridge?)
Welcome to the dark side
The Lou Reed wild side
Where danger is a constant
You gotta sleep with your eyes wide
Watch out for them wise guys
With uncle Tony mob ties
Truth is that we all die
So go ahead and live a bit
Like you never gave a shit
This world is inconsiderate
Depending what you make of it
Hoping that you can relate to this
It’s obvious I’m late to this
But better late than never
Thought you already knew that these diamonds are forever
Forever ever ? Ever, ever ?
Ever, ever ? Ever, ever ?
Forever seems so long
But my words last forever when I put them in a song
So it’s pen to the paper
Back to the studio
Daily routine, I do this shit on the usual
I’m cool with discomfort
I don't need suitable
Whatever you do, just make sure that shit is beautiful
I need you here right by my side
We can watch the sunset while the day goes by
You got the strings to my soul, I just don't know why
I need you, I need you
I need you here right by my side
We can watch the sunset while the day goes by
You got the strings to my soul, I just don't know why
I need you, I need you

Out There Lude
02:04
|

It's the bleakness of it all that bothered me
The thought of nothingness never did carry much apeel
Self solitude, made me a solid dude
Age of 10, stuck between the trumpet and the flute
Oh my parents got a divore to ?
Silly me, where they at, let me see
Is anybody out there ? Is anybody out there ? Is anybody out there ?
Sometimes memories don't remember me
And thats shits crazy, must of been them high school days
Real hazy
I use to, skip class just to freestyle in a basement apartment on the east side of the city
My teachers always told me a was a bright kid
But with you, I cant live
Has anybody seen purpose ? excuse me has you seen purpose ? sir, mam, has anybody seen purpose ? excuse me has any anybody seen purpose man what the fuck
I can hear my heart beat, beat, beat
Through the cracks of on the concrete creet, creet, creet
Jungle that I call home
I apologize for the reason I can't call home
Purpose

Soul Purpose
03:05
|

This is my soul purpose
The reason it's all worth it (it's all worth it)
It's always deep then the surface
Just take a peep behind the curtains (take a look)
I promise that I’ll look around (Why)
Because we miss you misses holidays (damn)
I hear the blue in every single sound
Rolling up to donny Hathaway (we getting high)
Hit the symbol let it ride
This that shit you can't deny
A funky ass bassline
The the type to set the vibe
Little olives little wine (chardonnay)
And if they asking just tell em im doing fine
You see this little light of mine ?(yeah)
Im gon let it shine (ok)
I just want what I deserve, I ain't here to waste your time (never)
Soul searching cuz that shit is hard to find
Hook
I've been up and down
Looked through all the lost and found
But I can't find you
I've been up and down
Looked through all the lost and found
But I can't find you
Verse
And I don't want to play these games (I don't want to play these games
I'm just looking out for you (looking out for you)
And I aint tryna stay the same
So just tell me what it do
I had to see a change of scenery
Never complacent I just say it how it really be
You can tell a lot from someone's energy
I remember what they did, not what they said to me
And on the real it takes a lot to bother me
I need some Mary J Blidge in my harmonies
Put some respect on my name when you talk to me
I kept it cool like a blue note philosophy
With different colors and different shades
I'm so amazed
I like it fresh press but most of y'all are minute made
Its been a minute since i’ve ever really been afraid
Of course I wrote it down the pen was always on the page
Hook
I've been up and down
Looked through all the lost and found
But I can't find you
I've been up and down
Looked through all the lost and found
But I can't find you

Tell me who
Who wants to play these games
Who wants to say my name
Who wants to test my aim
Who wants to test my rang
I don't lose, I don't lose
This is how this shit be
They aint fucking with me
They dont fuck with my beats
They aint touching this heat
I don't run I don't run
And I aint even brother
Tell the doctor that the heares came
We killed the game easily
Im everything i see to be
It seems to me rappers are lacking decency
I kill for what I love just to show you what it means to me
Hook
I ain't selling my soul I just say what I know (I do)
Dead em all with these flows green light it's a go (they died)
Most you rappers are weak eat em all in my sleep (my sleep)
Radio in my head,Ii just move and I creep (lets go)
I ain't selling my soul I just say what I know (I do)
Dead em all with these flows green light it's a go (they died)
Most you rappers are weak eat em all in my sleep (my sleep)
Radio in my head,Ii just move and I creep (lets go)
Verse FT ELMT
Deliver you a brand new
feel like Kanye
Y’all made beats don’t
feel like our way
Same lil mane in my old
mans Hundyai
Knew I’d make change &
hold stacks one day
You can run and tell the
whole town I’m back
Miracles can happen,
not only Sunday
Really gon think I’d go leave my pack
lyrically rapping, I’m
strapped like gunplay
Went around the globe
like Covid-1-9
You barely made a circle
round the corner one
time
Little kids wanna battle
on they lunchtime
Fam this ain’t 8 mile, by
the bus line
I paid my dues, cut loose the lust eye
Studio blue in the cut i dust mine
The Serbian tzar about
to serve y’all Russ grind
Stateside gang side
under us time
Hook

I could never turn left
this city assured death
Vizzy's chain is weighing heavy on my neck
Couldn't support the load im just a victim to the stress
But the label had faith in me
They gave me time and budget
Two years on production the process I swear I love it
Now i'm coming for they throats with no mercy
They can't hurt me
Im to sturdy, i'll never move, this my attitude
I need a Marcus miller baseline just to feel to groove
Fuck what you telling me, its evidante
In a sentimental mood
on a steinway, with Duke Ellington
Hella elegant, that's how they remember him
I'll never change for the fame
Im sticking with the process
The studio was blue I hope you felt the concept
The game needed him, ain't nobody beating him
Keys to the city like his name was oscar peterson
The revolution is televised
And Place St henri is hella gentrified
The soul to the city is what we kept alive
Through jam sessions and jazz
That shit will never die
Hallelujah, got me singing the hymn to freedom
They aint knew ya, and trust me they will never be him
Process was rigarus, lyrics are intimate
Proud of where i'm from because I value all my differences
I could never turn left
this city assured death
Vizzy's chain is weighing heavy on my neck
Couldn't support the load im just a victim to the stress
