My Eyes
Its been a long time, im trying, to write a new line.
All fucked up by myself, got a bag got a bottle cuz they help. Take my mind into another life i find. Song writing is therapy in my eyes.
My eyes
My eyes
Hell and back been there a few times, and i know im gunna go again thats life.
Shoulda died a couple times and the drama my mama went through, the trauma i gave to my crew, shit aint right. But i know yesterday is in the past. Throwin punches never hit the brakes stay on the gas. Stagnant mother fuckers get lost in the tall grass so grab a machete and chop it down to make a new path.
New path
New path
Jedi of the vibe i stay praying for ya
Maybe in another life we could be the old us. But i wouldnt change a single thing about the way that i wrecked it crazy how the table turned beautiful wreckage.
Time heals all wounds, i aint somebody whos reppin cliches but i know its tried and true. You got a baby with somebody better for you. The tragedy and the pain take you to fortune.
Been a road been a fight been real growth, real awakening, but i know when im old and i rolled down this road ill be thanking, God for you and music making. Forever know that your heart and soul amaze me.
Amaze me
Amaze me
Bomb Drop
Different guy, different kinda team. Middle finger up yeah that is me. Give way too many fucks about everything and anyone in my life so if you want it, you can get it. New scar on the masterpiece, take a bigger hit then i pass the piece. New bars on a fatter beat, saying fuck you this is the right.
Wear a fucking mask im afraid to breath here in babylon. Landed on my feet when i hit the ground that we battle on. Travel on, i am in the culture, on the avalon, yes i am the rebel son my mama told me carry on.
I love what i have got, im reppin the have nots, mix it all together in new pots. Im putin on new rock, new me in a new spot, another new bomb drop to shellshock.
Im alive here an now mother fucker i told you so.
Honesty without doubt, motherfucker i told you so.
I told you so.
So come and get it.
Tumor
Are you afraid to suffer from some deadly disease? Has suicide crossed your mind, made you feel weak at the knees?
A paranoia that just lingers deep in your head, like a growing tumor that draws you close to your death.
Even if the sky is falling, even if the world is burning down.
The apocalypse is coming, the earth will soon be gone. You hide under your covers, pray to God to make you strong. Your fear is very real but everything you fear is not. You panic everyday and in your fear life stops.
Even if the sky is falling, even if the world is burning down.
Believe in second chances, feet on the ground be here and now.
My inspiration has been drying out, my head is caught up in a lie that im tired of living. Caught in a fire, im a burning house. You can not scream for help if nobody is there for listening.
Even if the sky is falling, even if the world is burning down.
Im feeling suffocated from everyone elses hatred, dehydrated from being wasted but thats how i face it. Drowning out the sound of all the positive love that i have. Im consumed by the scho of the bad things in my fucked up past.
(Chorus) Even if the sky is falling, even if the world is burning down.
Believe in second chances, feet on the ground be here and now.
Even if the sky is falling, even if the world is burning down.
Only After
I have come to find, its getting hard to find, if its nice outside or just cold in hell, counting my blessings, can i count on myself. The water gets deeper, must be cold in hell.
Im only after
Surviving disaster.
Im only after, healing the fracture.
Spun out, my brain is on fire. The world keeps spinning, the time expires.
(Chorus) Reset, lets start again. Im coming home, but only after. Rewrite, we’ll make amends. Im coming home but only after.
Respect, you are my friend, im coming home but only after.
Rewind, to where it began, im coming home but only ater.
Im only after
Im only after
Ink
(Chorus) Put the ink to paper to show you a little love for the things that we go through. Testify to the lies that I told you. Leave it all in the past wanna be brand new. Love is a flower it can die it can grow again. I need the touch of your body it's like my medicine. When you feel like you hate me you know I'm still your friend. Love is a flower it can die it can grow again.
One touch to the body it's on, one kiss to the neck and I'm gone, been feigning you for so long, hey hey I'm a beast I'm a dog. Kick a dummy to the curb feeling reckless. Aint it funny how you came, and you left it. Taking honey from the pot like a temptress, and you go the money shot and I'm breathless. I feel delusional letting you straight just use me. I lock my heart to this other girl and give you the key. I know I fucked up I'm sick to my stomach from all this. Ill burn my life down to ashes just to give you a kiss.
I was spinning in circles do you remember? We didn't speak to each other during December. I stayed up all night to try and write you a letter. I need you to know I'm trying to be better.
The paper trail is a big debt, you know i pay the cost, a broken heart is a new bridge that we just get across. I take a step back for breathing and we both feel the loss. Another night of you heated bringing up all my flaws. But you know something that I don't know, and it always shows. You know me to well, it's killing me and just so you know. But you know something that I don't know, and it always shows. You know me too well it's killing me baby, time to go.
SLPN
Throwing it back waking up again across town, magic trick, rabbit in a hat im back now. Abracadabra houdini back with a new sound. The pieces fit, the puzzle just kinda clicks now. Winter gets so cold, im booking my ticket down south. I rock and roll im grabbing a guit to get down. Gotta get there baby, no corner cutting no shit now, the pieces fit, the puzzle just kinda clicks now.
(Chorus) Movin back and forth back now, so high on life, you never come down. Whats the point of it all we never know now, the world is out of control dont give a fuck now.
Black and white the color were seeing. Bullshit the message were reading. Gotta get behind what they believe in, i take a breath, make up the bed i sleep in.
Singing yeah im bringing this meaning up from the underground. Driving and a vibing surviving off of the jar sound. 40 got me funky im gettin country to getdown, all of my homies came to get it we dont fuck around. No stress im so blessed im so found. Music is so sick, im soul bound. Gotta get there baby no corner cuttin no shit now, the pieces fit the puzzle just kinda clicks now.
No sweat the shit is real making a meal. Out of the track that were smacking to show you how we feel. These empty promises faking i am not making deals. Its time we turn the ignition and keep spinnin the wheel. I navigate in the dark, my mind is dirty but sharp, i am a king of the art, you never know where to start. Fuck that we buck back, we bump rap, life throws a bitch slap we hit back.

Bronco
Sometimes i sit and i think about the times that we would sit back in a bronco by the woods. White owl and a razor cut it, over the bag and gut it. Get high and wish that we all coud.
(Chorus) Escape to a new place someday, with the band and get high everyday, hit the stage and tear it down we would.
40 ounce in a paper bag, Newport one hundreds man, high gravity bong hits by the woods.
Chewing up a quarter bag like daniel mason. Older brother, joy chapel emma lane shit. Bone thugs, three six, and some quest shit, can i kick it? And the five-o can not trace it.
Bronco in the park, sparking up a doobie when the lights get flashing red and blue, bronco hot boxin. They tappin on the window they say to open that door, when it opened up and it opened up to daniel mason. He didnt flinch a fuckin muscle ben did the talking. Daniel chewing up 7 grams of chronic. Smoke choking the cops, hip hop and the rock banging on the tape deck, killer shit from 05.
High Hopes
I take my shots in the dark, i gamble with my life. Too dope, high hopes no rope, fuck that do a dance on the edge. My heart agrees with my head, we live a fast life. No joke, too stoked to quit, go for broke, life or death.
I cannot settle for less, sex music dynamite. Load a buckshot, fuck a radio, no fuck shit, so ya better bet. We take this shit to the bank, fuck it all never turn it down. In the fast lane, let my shit crank, throw a punch, we pound for pound.
(Chorus) You're running your mouth and I don't give a shit, the things that you say I'm fuckin done with it.
I do what I want so I just run with it, you out here putin up fronts call that a sucka bitch.
Cuz when you steal what you own, you takin more than you need, you out here picking up stones, to throw em straight at my teeth.
Ain't here to pick any bones but i will play you for keeps, better get ready to go, better get ready to bleed.
I have looked up from the bottom and I ain't looking back. All the leaches, in the dirty water, sucking blood so I pick em and I throw em back. These fake ass cock sucking chumps exploit my shit from the jump. I put em in the past, back in the way back. But I feel it in my veins when I'm kicking ass.
We been at it like some crack addicts, steady getting back at it, steady getting better like a fine wine. If its sinking ill go down with it, pirate ship that we live in, breathing under water til the right time. To bring it back, pull the cat up out the bag, pull the pin up out the frag, toss it back into the music. Its a fucking illusion, its fucking confusin, but we keep it real we do it.
Carolina Love Song
Hello how can I be of assistance? Hello how can I make your life easy? I,I,I.. I don't know drop it.
I'm a dirty waste of mind, it's a dirty waste of time.
I stay focused on my grind; I get burned out every time. Virgo man that is my sign, vertigo in morning time, seeing love, I'm seeing signs. Stare at the sun til I go blind. Hey. I'm blazing out my only occupation, I'm losing love in every situation. Can I pick myself up from manipulation. Write another song so i can rub it in their pretty faces.
Sexy girls with long hair make me go crazy. How the hell does that make my life easy? I,i,i… I don't know drop it.
We brothers B,C, and A mix it like PB&J. little bit of pot for the pain, we are playing rock in the rain. Not enough time in the day, but we still rock with a bang. They let me know i can't change. I'm telling them all the same. Love is a game, only two can play, maybe three. A damn shame honestly I let it mess with me. She wants change but what the heck neither can she. I guess that's us I'm agony and she's irony. Wait, I a man I gotta grow up. Hate, we had a show she never showed up. That is the truth and there is no luck. baked out of my mind I'm getting no love.
I just kinda get in the zone the fatty taking control and i am becoming whole. I just kinda get with the vibe and do what i know is right, and let it run in my mind.
Carolina love can be dope until you choke on the smoke when you burn all that she wrote. I just kinda get with the flow the fatty taking control and i am becoming whole.
Party Like a Rockstar
Party with a rock, amphetamines with a mask on. Take another line, its good and then it's all wrong. Demons taking everything from me until it's all gone. Kitchen exploding somebody has left the gas on.
Take another bump, chop another line.
Take another trip to the other side. Find a place to jump on another night.
To be in a burning house to be in a fire.
It's ironic how evil people can be iconic. You're feeling sonic from someone else's antibiotics.Its erratic you get the shit like its automatic, your life faded and jaded your song is overrated.
(Chorus) Party like a rock, party like a rockstar
Stuck in the thick of it, everyone's gotta live with it.
Party like a rock, party like a Rockstar.
Just need a little bit, gotta line up another hit.
Party like a rock, party like a rockstar.
Lie down and die with it, burning alive and fine with it.
Party like a rock, party like a rockstar.
Killing in the name, i wont do what you tell me.
Cryer Farm
Been a minute, been about it every time i bump it. Get a critic, get a cynic, but i gotta gun it.
Raisin hell rock around that is how i run it. Guzzle the gas everyday that is how i want it.
Bootlegging, rock hip hop, blood in the stream. Foot print at the last stop on every scene.
The big H on the backdrop is lightning. I put it on my skin, live it like im dying.(Bridge) Not a gimmick, its for real a ride or die thing.
Pushin the limits all my brothers are on my team.
The big H on the backdrop is lightning.
I put it on my skin, live it like im dying.(Chorus) Small town criminal, thats who i am.
Hoopla life fuck all the rules, dont give a damn.
Turn a blind eye to these fools, that master plan.
Cryer Farm taught me the rules, thats who i am.Floating down the river, im a giver to deliver noise. Hot in the winter im a winner getting to the point.
Not a beginner, but i am now getting out the void. The line is thinner between the dream and the real mccoy.
To all my people smoking heaters back in Hollywood, Maryland. From a small town back in the woods.
I do it all for you cuz nobody thought that we could. I put my money on the bet cuz i know its good.
American Junk
You will never drown me out, pulling me under keeping me down.
In a land of the tattoos, drugs, and a bad tooth. Hearing only bad news
Spitting out the bad fruit, soon to be new tree soon to be a new me, then you'll say you knew me.
Makes no sense to change me now. Give me the torch and ill show you how.
Sitting down in the front seat, burning from a sun beam, running down the rock dream i am.
In a land of the tattoos, drugs, and a bad tooth, hearing only bad news.
I am American junk, fully aware of it punk.
Causing hysteria jump. Bumping the bass line.
