Summer of '99 I remember when my pops taught me to drive Sit in his lap in the Cutlass In the summer of '99 He would pump the gas, I'd turn the wheel I remember setting it inside the lines Loving how it feels Mama in the whip Brother in the back I wish I could express to you How much sometimes I want it back I could feel the distance It's on more than just a map Let me paint a picture for you One thousand words or less 'Cause I don't need the length Brevity is skill Expand upon your vocab Know that letters are a bill Cost me of my conscience Rob me of my will Tell 'em when I die I left my wish where they could hear 'em Play it on vinyl Decision is final Decision is final Play it on vinyl Play it on vinyl Granny said that she don't ever worry no more She got faith, she believe She thinks that I can change the world I can't lie I love to hear it Love to know she feel my soul I been working, I been dreaming They ain't all that different no more I'm basically a baker picking flowers Rollin' dough before I'm pushing daisies Anybody looking in my kitchen Wishing I would would need 'em Couldn't pay me Couldn't pay me, to tolerate your kind of crazy Honestly you not my type We had a night, not a baby I ain't mean to make you catch feelings I ain't tryna send a vibe You a mother to a daughter I ain't tryna father children right now Got enough on my plate I still wanna see Paris Still got tours I wanna headline Still got GOATs I wanna meet Number one is Hov Number two Tariq Inspired by the greatest someday I'll be number three And I ain't ever lied in pen, I ain't ever write off beat Hold my to my scriptures 'til I'm lying six feet deep Play it on vinyl Decision is final Decision is final Play it on vinyl Play it on vinyl Slow your roll, I know you mad But don't call me Shady I ain't Slim, I ain't ever try to act like Em 'Cause I ain't him, I know what it is You tryna get under my skin Get under it then, the thunder within is thumping I wonder if bumping The Show 'til she go is too petty to win I do what I gotta, I said I'm sorry mama Try to hit a FaceTime when I make time I'll try again tomorrow Maybe I'll be busy though I'm cleaning out my closets I'm off a fifth of vodka You're better off without me Play it on vinyl Decision is final Decision is final Play it on vinyl Play it on vinyl

I'm afraid of this impending fame impeding on my freedom Chasing chains until their on my neck so tight that I can't breath I think it's time to leave 'em in the dust, I don't need 'em Yeah, my Subaru's a bucket but it gets from A to B Stunt with my arm out the window flashing gold on my wrist And they questioning about the way I live Priorities are twisted, they think they know me well Stacking gift cards for this watch, plus a sale And I Stay buying, yeah, I stay trying to live This standard of life I wanna provide for my kids Trying times for my lady I supply her a kiss In hopes it creates a moment that inspires her bliss Fire from lips, scripture from a thought on my phone Sit down rapping, bar stool for a throne City of rain, new empire Tacoma Still repping the Bay never too far from my home And they wonder 'bout the things he do And they wonder 'bout the way he live And they wonder if that boy is fake I wonder if I should even give a shit And I wonder if they even care Enough to buy a CD Do they care while I'm alive? Or will they care when I'm deceased Student loans stacking right beside my photographs Picture perfect future happens prioritizing my craft Idolizing the greats, trying to make papes Trying to find the kind of resources it can create This backpack is heavy I'm carrying more than raps Feel the whole world weighing down on my back I got a long list of promises, I'll follow through I promise this I know I lost my way but my loyalty's come along again I know, I know, I'm singing this old song again Tried to run away but cannot outrun all my problems LaLa, Jaz, and God and them Looking down on me, I want them to say they proud of want Want to plant ideas like seeds and grow a garden Ain't asking for permission, I ain't begging your pardon My cousin asked, "Why you acting brand new? Stay in your lane, but take your hands off ten and two, cousin." And they wonder 'bout the things he do And they wonder 'bout the way he live And they wonder if that boy is fake I wonder if I should even give a shit And I wonder if they even care Enough to buy a CD Do they care while I'm alive? Or will they care when I'm deceased I used to think this rap thing was cash for words Now I listen to the radio it's backwards The more you say the less that you paid And even worse producers gotta use a clap and 808s And suddenly, conveniently, I ain't jot pages in days Am I in it 'cause I love it or the bank Am I above it or just one of the fakes Was I hungry or tired of the crumbs on my plate Looking for a budget that included a steak An abundance of a substance to reduce all the pain Settle for a distraction, a numb for the pain Help me forget solutions I'm responsible to gain Yo, what am I in for To help my peoples or simply dine on a dinner roll My cousin asked, "Why you acting brand new? Stay in your lane, but take your hands off ten and two, cousin." And they wonder 'bout the things he do And they wonder 'bout the way he live And they wonder if that boy is fake I wonder if I should even give a shit And I wonder if they even care Enough to buy a CD Do they care while I'm alive? Or will they care when I'm deceased

River Road Remix Lately I been shifty with ex bitches who been with me
 Hit my line, like the pen with me
 Better off alone let the text miss me 
Airplane mode if we been kissing 
I don’t need ruin the mood We doing what we came here to do
 I ain’t scared I don’t care that you came with a dude
 You leaving with me, we left, I guess that it’s true
 And I don’t do well dwelling in thought 
I’d rather drown in the well of a thot
 It feels good, give a hell if it’s not
 A morning of strange better than a night going without 
I’m a hypocrite, I gotta live with it
 Giving out advice to anybody that ask 
But can’t stick with it That’s the fucking trick with it
You can be wise to these guys 
You can still be slick with it
I ain’t got the answer 
I am not the deacon or the pastor Or the preacher or the teacher or the master
 Take a long look at my life and my apartment
 You’ll see that they both disasters 
I con’t even fold the fucking clothes
 Or do the dishes
Got a lot of pictures I gotta send I can’t even bother to edit them
Let alone, turn the damn computer on to look at them 

Come on, Come on, Come on Come on

 I just sit my ass on the couch Binnge on Netflix in excessive amount How many nights I’m afraid I can’t count 
Tell me how many lies have I said now
 Anytime I said, “I was busy”
 Anytime I had a friend with me
 Anytime I was working past 4:50 
If I said I was tryna smash a bad bitch …I was tryna smash a bad bitch 
Nowadays that’s the average
 Pussy and piano that’s the magic
 The fantasy is rain made of wax drips 
A little bit of anger when I grab hips 
Feel the pain in the passion
I’m about to pressurize the cabin 
I’m a need your jeans unfastened 
I hope it goes better than the last one
 The lowest that I’ll settle for
Is business class action 
A little bit of turbulence It never hurt a bit
 She want it missionary
I ain’t ever heard of it
 I wanna see what you teased
 You was working with
It’s no time to be shy
 I just want a taste of the peach pie
 If you belong to the streets
I give you back
 But you can validate me in the meantime
 I with that I could rewind
 To a time it felt okay to be fine
I didn’t try to be kind
I didn’t need to try I would just be kind 
I wish I didn’t feel the need to be lying
 I wish that I could stop and smell the tree line
 What’s that saying bout the destination 
It’s the journey, I hope that I ain’t too late to realize
 My age is in my forethought 
 Another birthday closer to thirty 
I thought I made a handshake with Time but he forgot
 Did I utilize it all? Of course not
 I switch visions, change shades and prescriptions
 Twenty-Twenty is coming, I can’t miss it
 It’s one of my last shots 
The magazine seems lighter than I last thought
 Bang, bang, I heard the Glock sing
 Bang, bang, I heard the clock ring
 Bang, bang, I heard the pots dropping 
I was cooking up before I let something stop me 

But this is our year 
It’s our year



One more take All the way through 'Cause I'm just feeling it right now I'm not really religious But I like the idea you know There's a place for me up in heaven In my palace I can't find malice Trying to find a beef to squash is my challenge Keeping all the dogs at bay is my talent I can't even find no sins in my shower I play God with fates, I chisel the slate It's my world you with me or you ain't In my world you don't get a second chance I make all my plans to taste, like you should What's the good if you can't swallow what you made If the recipe is tainted from the gate You could bake it at the temperature it says But it'll never finish like the picture in the end You'll never fix it with a little bit of bread You already told your guests what you expect When you invite the devil and decide to let him in I don't know who else you thought you gonna get I build it up I see a vision I hear a voice But I don't listen I know better I know better I'm the architect of my Heaven If I love you then you got a ring I know the number of the people that I need So if I gotta search for your number in my contacts It's a guaranteed thing I won't call back I keep my circle small, my currency is dimes You a ten if I been fucking with you all this time I don't believe in splitting up my energy Laying in my grave I want to know how they remember me Close your eyes for me, for a minute Think about somebody you lost for a minute People don't recall every moment that they had It's the feeling that you give them that's gon' last And that's gon' be my legacy You gon' be warm In the winter when you remember me Up in your crib with some Hennessy Pouring one out for Jess so he can rest in peace No time to make no enemies No heart to be hating on some jealously And I ain't got the mind to invest in anything If I can't see it as an investment Maybe that's selfish I live with it Rather have the guilt than shelves of wolf tickets To much shine to fake what I'm getting To much pride to fake what I'm spitting That's a code to live by, that's how I get by I just keep it real and know I'm one of the good guys You could never paint me as a villain, when the truth rise I won't be the one in the rope when the noose ties I build it up I see a vision I hear a voice But I don't listen I know better I know better I'm the architect of my Heaven I build it up I see a vision I hear a voice But I don't listen Yeah I know better I'm the architect of my Heaven And I split it six ways Y'all deserve it all working through your sick days Y'all been stuck in this maze I been making calls trying to get y'all saved Breaking walls, let you see the light of day And I hearing nothing 'bout no messy red tape Lord, I might flex but I 'sho won't cave Won't settle for a check it is not the same thing You can't buy me or find me shiny diamonds and glitter Trying to undermine me I know my worth is in my cause I know I'm worthless when I'm lost I drew a map and read the stars Keep cryptograms inside my bars So if I lose my way Just know I'll be back before long
