… and it begins right here I’m walking on the edge paper thin its looking clear Destiny’s ahead, I feel her coming near Control myself below and so the fear just disappears … All the stress I let it go … Using everything I know Let it flow let it show, in the end I’ll love you so Never satisfied since my passion has me wanting more …Till I cross the finish line …See the future make it mine fate will intertwined Fickle flame but now I Shine It begins right here so no question if the time is mine Looking for a chance to make it Searching for a chance to see I just want a chance to be just who I see And it begins right here, I’m transmitting clear Ensure you get the message so I’m starting off with dear Don’t ever shed a tear for the ending I’ll become I gave it what I had this is just the outcome Of choices and my will, everything I feel Avoided what was fake and tried to take in what was real ... Like the realest of the true ... Like the realest that was you My sight evolved into a vision executing with precision Adding up what matters and I hold it true no division …Accepting no substitution …And it begins right here Looking for a chance to make it Searching for a chance to see I just want a chance to be just who I see And it begins right here, the hardest thing Ive ever had to write is written here A pen that’s made from bone, and the inks replaced by tears This moment is just a moment but its taken me some years To find me some direction but Im thanking God im here My spirit was my compass and my heart pumped out the drive Thankfully alive for a moment dreaming suicide But with a change of heart, KMF til I die

Fit In 04:11
Im’a do me Yeah Im’a be me Only thing I know so that’s what Im’a be My essence is my gift and wha__t I’m coming with So I don’t give a shit on whether not I fit I was never one to fit but please get a grip We not the same tip for what ya do for stupid kicks It slips, this feeling to belong is so wrong Desire for the bong so we sing the same ol song But ya hit a sour note you be choking on the smoke No joke a lack of O with bullshit up in your throat So it’s for my June, I play my own tune My sound fills the room and so your soul consu_mes I presume you feel me and the words I display But then stray away to clichés of yesterday It’s ok, I’ll do me and you’ll do you I don’t have to fit if I want to be true Cause I know who’s who when reflections rings true Reflects what I see, and what I see is truly me To the 10th degree, I’ll fit like I.V. Exact in the vein I maintain inside of me Im’a do me Yeah Im’a be me Only thing I know so that’s what Im’a be My essence is my gift and wha___t I’m coming with So I don’t give a shit on whether not I fit I’m a do me Yeah Im’a be me What you heard before just can’t compare to me Doing what I know with the wo__rds you wont forget So I don’t give a shit on whether not I fit As I Intercept your intellect to reign as king King of the real by thoughts I didn’t steal No disillusion in this land of the real And an ill appeal to a life so surreal An outcast victim of social segregation From the cool congregation By my voice an integration To blend loose ends make amends foes to friends And transcend the trend so let it begin By beats of a drum and become the outcome Of one who didn’t fit but didn’t succumb And join the pop majority enjoying the minority Originality, the top priority So fuck the authority who yelled to get in line Try and dim my shine keeping me from gettin mine Want to hold me back and try to get me off the track But quick run for cover when I’m starting the attack (CHORUS) Soon to realize the masks of disguise To identify you’re self should come as no surprise To never fit me no but go ahead and try It’s just not my size so it’s best to think twice And if you thought true, then you were ill advised Perplexed by Dialect that is said to be complex But simple composition by the verbs and subjects With a mathematical twist equals my secrets But don’t overwhelm with things you don’t get Just stick with your tims rims and all that bullshit Not up to par, and I’m the first to admit My world is not yours but sorry ya don’t fit bitch (CHORUS)

Fly 04:26
Staring at the Sky Dreaming I can Fly I’m gon spread my wings and then I’m gonna An angel since my birth so it’s heaven on earth Value is by numbers but the worth is in my words So its best you listen up cause I’m about to take you up To another level star bound, shoot em up Cause life was kind of sucking so I had to intervene And make the opportunities I may have never seen All I heard before was be careful for what you wish for Cause soon in the end you’ll regret what’s in store A little risk to take for a life so grand and great My time is now, cant afford to show up late I want to make it real and stop playing pretend Able to provide and no fear of making ends Meet incomplete damn what a feat Am I even close, soon will it be? Yes without a doubt cause my feet are off the ground And my head is in the clouds so I’m bound to astound Staring at the Sky Dreaming I can Fly I’m gonna spread my wings and then I’m gonna High just like bird Into heights unheard I’m gonna spread my wings and then I’m gonna Only looking down When I’m high up off the ground I’m gonna spread my wings and then I’m gonna With clouds everywhere Arriving when I’m there I’m gonna spread my wings and then I’m gonna With nothing left to lose man I’m still singing blues Yet, chasing after dreams cause they’re still within my view I’m wearing down my shoes and my Souls wearing thin I need some chicken soup before I can chase again With nothing left, I take a deep breath Enjoying every second cause there’s not much time left I tried my hand at luck with them stupid superstitions Empty premonitions paranormal transmissions Just prohibitions of me from getting mine I made my own wings all else a waste of time With a sense of wonder up and over never under Waking up the world with a slight crack of thunder Relentless be the rain, ugly clouds all the time Cover gray skies but the sun will always shine So I wish upon my flight, effect takes aim To make it all real so I can end this bad dream (CHORUS) So it’s here I stand with my heart inside my hands I hope you hear me now and even understand That I’ll take what I can but now I’m changing lanes Doing what I can so the outcomes never the same Nothin more to do, and nothing more to say It’s do or die today so I’m up up away Pride is over rated and effort understated Success is dead ahead and Im never estimating Cant Stop, Wont Stop, na we too fly Going up, Going Up, Going Up high Cant Stop, Wont Stop, na we too fly Going up, Going Up, Going Up high (CHORUS)

So where do I begin since I don’t know where to start But I can you tell this, I surely know the end With me up on top so let it all begin I couldn’t do with ink, but still I got it penned Knew it would be different but still I pushed on I’m always gon hear it like I did something wrong But try to understand evolution’s taking place Not the front runner, but I’m glad I’m taking place Contribute while I can to those who give a damn Who really want to hear me learn bout who I am I’ll grab the soap box and speak out no refrain But still reach out in a way that entertains Meet the expectations that I set for myself Eternal happiness tiny fame and minor wealth So let me ask again do they feel ecstatic? No but I’m still working, God willing still at it I’m almost there and I do because I care Life is unfair but that don’t bother me The goal I see is still within my reach All that I want and want to be I might be almost there, but the fire’s still hot Just because I’m close I’ll relax I think not Where’s my success, is this really progress? Or is it fake sound warned by the prophets Maybe yes or maybe no I guess I’ll never know But what I know is this, I’m never letting go Of dreams that I dreamed so unreal as they seem They made me who I am and who I’m yet be Soon your gonna see that for once it wasn’t talk When I did what I said and you’re left in total shock I can’t believe he did it but I knew that he could Thanks for the support when you said that I should Not continue, you should just quit Do something else cause this your unfit Just fuel to the flame for me to take my aim Shooting for the stars so let the heavens rain I’m almost there and I do because I care Life is unfair but that don’t bother me The goal I see is still within my reach All that I want and want to be I’m right here so close and yet so far away Rocco B did it not to mention Tony Rey Na I aint hating but I know that I could I can spit a rhyme make movies just as good But whats the fuckin use if I’m never gonna share Promote all I want but there’s still nothing there Waste of my time, a waste of a try I can’t be having that cause then it’s just a lie A polygraph life so I gotta live it true Applying what’s best in everything I do So the debut redux’d and I came back too Still within my reach so now I’m asking you Do you still doubt everything that I’m about Anticipate my fail cause my time is running out No I’m on the rise cause I take my own advice Live for self and dreams and so I live twice Just about arrived, soon will be living high Can’t stop me now, I’m aiming for the sky Always gon try, I’m never standing by Still within my reach so I fly so high

Pushers 04:06
Nothin but a lazy boy recline, just relax Now is looking good but tomorrow’s where it’s at Waiting on that perfect time for all my shit to realign But until that time hmmm take my time Aint no need to rush cause I know just what I’m doing Patience is a virtue that’s exactly what im doing Wait it out, sit it out, life is coming soon Back to bed, rest my head, its barely fucking noon There’s so much I want to do but I can’t is the excuse I’m victim to a ruse by a self inflected wound It was self infused, so there’s no one else to blame When I try to point the finger but can only find my name It’s adding up the same as I try and try once more But can it really change if myself is civil war Rebellion against the score but I’m crushed in the attack The pusher is myself in the way and that’s a fact You can’t let go No use, cause Pushers getting in your view So you feel the pusher And you feel the pusher Yeah you feel the pusher And you feel And you feel And you feel the pusher I thought it was true love fitting like a perfect glove But when I looked closer it was purely yell and shove Forget the puppy love the honeymoon was just a drug Biting like a bug now there’s aint no ridding of That feeling deep inside presides implied and now applied Believing no matter what when it was a blatant lie Were Still fighting for the lie since now it’s all we have But love was just a fad let’s admit we’d been had Add it up and do the math were on the wrong path Were on the right train but, different tracks It’s ok to turn our backs and begin our separate ways Givin that we don’t then were in each others way Remember yesterday but, just leave it there The past is in the past it can never come back here Just trying to make it clear so we feel the hurt no more Love is now a pusher but aint pushing me no more (CHORUS) Pushing me no more no I’m pushing back Pushing me no more no I’m coming back Pushing me no more no I’m back on track Pushing me no more no And that’s a fucking fact Wanting something more, a prize behind a door Just a dollar more so I can even up the score Possessing plenty sense, but that wont be paying rent I need a miracle or something heaven sent I gambled off my blessings all into the finer dressings But now I’m stuck at home, and that’s shit’s depressing Dreams of Jackpot Wins like I’m dreaming dirty sins Lady Luck undressing and then soon be giving in To everything I wish swimming in it like a fish Living in the heavens so luxurious Money’s what I need so I’m thriving in that greed Doing what it say’s so that Money’s pushing me (CHORUS)

She Said 05:23
I close the door behind me yeah feeling fresh to death Here in Vegas strutting cool like Sinatra at his best Elevator doors split heart skips a beat By the object of desire by the angel do I see Time stands still so I take the moment in Look her up and down then I do it, again True double take had me think for heavens sake Can this really be instead of storybook fake I try to play it cool, slowly step inside Soft flash a smile as I try to warm the ice Then she smiles back tossing focus off the track First sentence out and there aint no going back How’s your night? Its fine. And yours? Divine Whats the plan? Find the one. For what? For fun Maybe me? Possibly. Possibly I guess we’ll see But before I could this is what she said to me And she said, and she said, and she said You’ve got to give me more if you want to get ahead Less Shine, more love instead Cause I’m the type of girl who’d rather spend time instead And she said, and she said, and she said Gentle be your touch if you want to see the bed Touch my soul, Heart beating red Cause I’m the type of girl who’d rather make love instead Sharing just a laugh but I hope to share more Enjoying every second and thinking what’s in store Maybe she could be… the beauty to my beast Thoughts running wild but I gotta find some peace Collect myself and catch my breath refocus on the prize Then she caught me staring… deep into her eyes Enter wonderland with a second made of sand Don’t be rushing Alice take your time and take my hand Fantasy collides reality and so I do it Took her hand soft cause fate made me do it A little taken back so I see her hesitate Heart is thumping fast body heat just elevates Damn Im in too deep and there aint no going back This is time to show her Confidence don’t lack And to my surprise she Doesn’t show retreat Her grasp grows tight pulls me close and she speaks (CHORUS) Ding first floor 20 floors too quick Now or never, so I gotta move quick Don’t just think about it… make a move Take her for the win or be an R with the lose Look at her… she’s ready, she’s waiting Your simply wasting time just standing contemplating Conversation playing out like we know each other Ok to sound silly cause we know we love each other See Ya soon? I hope. Boyfriend? Nope Shall we grab a drink? Sounds good, lets go But that’s just where it stays in mind never happened Cant fall in love without the risk of falling happen She makes her exit out the doors I saw her from the back Make a man wonder can I really handle that And just like that she was gone forever The moment came and went and I cant help but wonder when (CHORUS)
9.
I can’t compete I just can’t win, but What still can we do When there’s nothing new You don’t attempt You don’t give in, but What still can we do When there’s nothing new We're living a lie, we fighting all the time What’s mine is yours but yours is not mine How are we to grow when there ain’t no sunshine Just rain from our tears, just about reached our time Maybe call it quits, maybe walk away Stare only cause I have nothing more say Words escape now, hope what’s lost is quickly found But as for how that I can’t explain Just listen to the pain, yeah I know hear it Even at that, yeah, I know you feel it Deep inside your heart cause I know it fell apart No doubt from the start we were a work of art So tell me what went wrong, and why’d it take so long For us to unravel and the pain to prolong We sang the same song but now we lost our voice No longer harmony, but tell me was it choice? Tell me Love What’s love made of? Is it push and shove? Or just puppy love? Is the past included? Or is it just intruding? Is love an illusion Tell me Love (CHORUS) Compete with the past? Na I couldn’t do that Clearly I’m no match for the perfection that we had Sure it makes you sad, but think of how I feel Your living in a dream fantasy it isn’t real I’m struggling alone just to make it improve Me against the world is unfair without you I liked me be better back then, I know you do too That nerdy little boy who said we’ll make it through Romance in his eyes Dreams in his thoughts Years then went by now, she loves him not So here we are today and were doing what we must All broken trust cause we gave into that lust Love has gone bust so I’m not thinking of What can still be I’m giving up on love Curtains on the stage but no fairytale end Was it really true or was it all pretend? Tell me Love What’s love made of? Is it push and shove? Or just puppy love? Is the past included? Or is it just intruding? Is love an illusion Tell me Love (CHORUS) I promised you I tried, never gave up On me or you now tell me what the fuck? Did you give the same, Everything but your name Did you take me seriously or was I just a game? Did you win at that? Are you happy now Are you standing tall cause I’m lying down Exhausted nothing left, not even one last breath Or was it all for nothing with no time left Do people change and just grow apart Is it just that simple? Just a change of broken hearts? Then I guess it’s not our fault, there was nothing we could do Fate brought us close but time said that were through So we bid adieu but love I still love you That can never change no matter what I do Take that away and don’t ever look back Cause when you turn around I wont be where I’m at I’ll tell you Love What love is made of Not push and shove And not puppy love The past is included Yes it is intruding But love is no illusion I’ll tell you Love (CHORUS)

To them it was a game, but to me it’s how I live They’ll be sorry then but don’t worry I’ll forgive When I’m around the world seeing everything to see Living like a dream no need to wish by 3’s (CHORUS) I’m flying round the world!

13.
Been a long road, to the start line Is it my time but its not the right time Hella frustrated cause I want to make it Saw what I wanted and tried to take it But its out of grasp but damn im reaching Didn’t pay attention when life was teaching Not about the start, its how you finish No you cant quit get faith replenished Counting what im blessed when I failed the test Thought I wanted more but I really want less Simplify life, slow it down Pump on the brakes but, don’t know how Runaway train loose on the tracks Thoughts of the past and how to take it back Maybe 88, then set it straight Really no point cause I know im too late Your never too late, I know im too late I keep fighting on but I cant fight fate So im fighting on yeah im trying to be great And arriving no time if I keep this rate Shift gears lets go light speed slo mo Recalling who I am but you act like you don’t know Don’t forget the name and google when you get home Sticking to your mind like my cum to her dome Hey…Don’t act like you dont know, Me Hey…Don’t act like you dont know, Me Hey…Don’t act like you dont know, Me Hey…Don’t act like you dont know, Me Hey…Don’t act like you dont know Im sayin Hey…Don’t act like you dont know Tell em Hey…Don’t act like you dont know Hey…Don’t act like you dont know Me Level out the field and don’t stop yield I Cover my heart with invisible shield So no I can’t feel the evil that you deal So never is it real this pain I feel Deep in. my veins. Passion. insane Cloud over throne cant quit till I reign And I rain down with that raindrop sound And Coming down loud do you hear me now? Attention. All ears. you know. I’m here Transmitting me am I loud and clear? All day no play if you didn’t know Talent on deck cause I got it like whoa Tired everyday but I try not to show Damn you ok? Yeah lets go I want to make a mark maybe make a dent No superman. More clark kent Drive is hell bent intent heaven sent Rather enemies than back stabbing friends Rather have hate not false love Rather have truth than always thinking of Could it really be should I wait and see Everything is locked but im still the key Ive got faith in me cause im other worldly Yeah different no doubt so don’t deny please (CHORUS) Never celebrating no im onto the next one Going hella dumb like dun dun dun dun Leaving everybody like what what what what Fuck just happened? Did that just happen? Imagine made it happen while saluting like the captain Never Sleeping on a dream so bitch quit nappin So Non fiction im just truth, you looking for the facts You looking at the proof (CHORUS)

Welcome to the top Im glad you finally you made it I know some people been hating So it’ll be my honor to be the first to Welcome you to the top This is what the top feels like This is what the top feels like This is what the top feels like This is what the top feels like Standing on the summit with my hands up in the air Victory! The truth was in the dare So this is what it feels like? …. Nice! And this how is I how I feel right? … nice! Late nights unemployed still dreaming like a fool A decade later as a student in the same ol school But still I’m pushing forward like a snail on to the finish With a Pathway full of salt but the heart just wont diminish Replenish and I cultivate and let myself just levitate To the top I didn’t stop never thought to hesitate… So now Im feeling great Simple’s how im living for a life that so complex Taking what Im given optimistic for what’s next Maybe feel defeat, not regret cause I gave my best The journey into greatness never came with ease But dammit it was worth it for this feeling of relief (CHORUS) Cause I.. struggled for this moment Best my mind settled down but cant, It’s roaming Is it really worth it, and what is there to lose Now ask me again as my names up in the lights High fives shouting out fist bumps laughing out Smiles all around cause our feet are off the ground All my love and gratitude to everyone who believed Always showed support during all my times of need Showed up to the shows, shared the downloads Buying up the album had me thinking like Whoa! I knew that I was different but knew you felt the same too Feeling deep inside, if they knew my name too Measured up the odds and I see them stacked against Pressures maxing out and I felt it so immense So watch me Bust in god I Trust doubt me now and eat my dust Never slowing down cause my heart’s still combusting (CHORUS) This is the top and im not coming down And it took a lot to get where im at now This is the top and I won’t stop This is the top, the top, the top, Life, wouldn’t be any fun if it was easy. No matter what you do. Keep Moving Forward. KMF.... For Sprite and June. (CHORUS)
