Intro/Deuces:
Check the symptoms/Sick as the servants that bless the kingdoms/What’s it worth to the vermin that vex the victims/Spitting sermons with serpents circling seven sins/Set up shop and if This shit knock better let us in/Pass the pen and salute the generals gentlemen/Peddle with predators past the pinnacle of your pendulum/Let them learn left them timid tethered and featherless/Fed them venom a friend and a felon hey who you effing with/Earning inches up in the trenches the dues paid/Brother bout my business with benefits for the bootlegs/Set the sentence to smack them senseless if dudes hate,/Keep tripping I’m a catch a new case,
(Hook )
Verse 2:
Yo it’s Deuces/Peace to the people I’m making moves with/Ever question the crew and get single finger saluted/Test the dude I’m the vestibule of the blueprint/Better respect the jewels when they get in tune with my two cents/Check the record who working harder to harvest/Harness the heart and target the market match with the martyrs/The plight of the starving artist/who want it warm them it’s what it is brother/Don’t forget where you coming from if you come up/Working working they’re watching watching the wanderers/Walk with us ain’t no way they could stop us who’s taking shots at us/Who’s taking shots with us sitting sipping on molatovs/Polish the bottle off and breathe fire monstrous monologues/Get it popping off proper to rocket launch and I’m gone/Off the rocker don’t knock it we rocking raw/Cop the product we stocking the profits on/You trying to split up deposits who’s pockets you stomping on/I been/Earning inches up in the trenches the dues paid/Brother bout my business with benefits for the bootlegs/Set the sentence to smack them senseless if dudes hate/Keep tripping I’m a catch a new case/
(Hook)
Outro:
Yo it’s Deuces/Peace to the people I’m making moves with/

Bounce:
Look at what these cats did/Back on my rap shit/Flask full of gas and a pack full of matches/Got the track lit and the kid mad maxing/Last with the laugh ain't no pass for the whack shit/and It's lids for the caskets/If they want it let them get it cause I been about a better way to build/Heavy on the road and It barely pay the bills/Bet it on the soul but I never made a deal/Too fly with the shoes tied/When I cruise by with the crew in the mood for a new vibe/Who's you to refuse I/when the dude live with the tunes bringing Boom to the moonlight/And All we ever really wanted was a little bit of something in the stomach and a bundle for the fire/Came in the game with a name and a smile/Aim for the brain bang bang with the style/And It’s Hunger til a mother fucker fed/If I got it I'm a spread it like it's butter for the bread/If the brother slipping then I'm coming for the head/Trying to figure why he tripping must be something that I said/Look at what I did when they said I wasn't shit/Couldn't look at my face better button them lips/Y'all ain't fucking with this/One road two kicks/and it's on little homie don't trip/
(Hook)
Verse 2:
Catch love with the lids low/When I spit soul/late nights feeling lit trying to hit zones/Been stuck brother been broke/But the kid grown Bitch trip slow it down let a bitch know/I do not care how you feel/ To Hold your hand is not why I am here/I have been grinding and struggling for years/You disrespect it I Go for your grill/This shit is real/Ain't nobody been about it like we been about it, and I been up on it brother couldn't live with out it/Every body want it but nobody wanna build it, I'm a put them on and kill them just get around them/Ain't nobody I trust/They don't wanna rise up/But They all wanna party like us/So they all on my nuts/I'm a Follow my gut/Make them swallow my dust/Brother what/And it's on til the sunshine/One time for the raw for that unsigned/Two times for the tours that we still can't afford if these kids want more then they want mine/And I guess I got a little bit of loving and a little hate/I was Trying to get a little butter for the dinner plate/Hit the booth then a brother hit the interstate/With a little boost to Recoup what the rent'll take/Sweet tooth and the truth got a Bitter taste,
Baby gave me sugar when it shake/Sweet Tooth And The Truth Got A Bitter Taste/Baby Give Me Sugar When It Shake/Sweet Tooth And The Truth Got A Bitter Taste/Baby Give Me Sugar When It Shake/ Sweet Tooth And The Truth Got A Bitter Taste/Baby Give Me Sugar When It Shake/

Heart Pump Interlude:
It’s All The Same/Aint No Solace While The Frolic In The Falling Rain/ Came For The Knowledge But The Wallet Be The Ball And Chain/Strange/They Got Us Trying To Guide Them From Forgotten Lanes/Pray For The Power With The Promise That I’ll Probably Change/Hey/ Hail The Godess Almighty With The Dollars Made/Games With The Bottle Words Sway/Alcoholic Slang/ Slang Never Polished But I Shot It With An Honest Aim/Brain On That Pilot Now It’s All In Range/Solo And So Fly/Hold Onto No Ties/Foes Thought I Won’t Rise/No They Don’t Know I/Been On That Ghost Ride/Grow Let The Old Die/Live On The Low With My Goals Set To Gold Mines/Flow Flex To Mold Minds/ And I’m A Go/I’m A Go How The Crow Flies/ To Let You Know/

A Man is Man:
Mostafa-
Give me mine or get the fuck on/Ain’t no love songs/After the Blood drawn/it’s still a shame thats the game that They got us Up on/Take the pain and then paint in shades til the Sun gone/Ain’t no saving a sadist so what you punks want/Never better but Bitter that's how the heart pump/Heavy hitter thats still trying to figure out where the scars from/baby been on a bender hitting them bars up/Building the guard up/no loving the lady lost touch/Crack the bottle and pack the party/She back On the prowl the passion applied with the flash of a smile to catch a body/Last to laugh while she batting them lashes at him/to get him got him and trap him/fatal attraction that's the hobby/If it’s conquer or cower calloused and proud to be/Pedestals ain't for predators though/I’m trying to crown a queen/Catch an angel that's down to dream/If it ain't loving I'm bound to leave/No Fronting I guess that's how it be/
(Hook)
Landon Wordswell-
I Only Say This Cause I Love You/That’s The Realest Shit/It Wasn’t Subtle/So I Struggled/Had My Feelings Fixed/ I Stepped in puddles/Full of trouble/I receded on The double/Felt defeated from the scuffles but i’m still in this/A life of bruises and bumps/The price of choosing your lumps/the type of dude that likes to do what he wants/king cobra/with a cobra in his hand but seem sober/A floater with no hope to get a chance to lean closer/gave it all i had but then you threw it away/came back to say you’re sorry til you.re blue in the face/you’ll probably chalk it up to just some stupid mistakes/and i know/i see you shining i’m just used to the shade/I’m trying to make another move in lucrative ways/my trust is emptied out i’m choosing who’s finna stay/ and whos finna go/And who’s finna fade/I had a lot of problems til i moved in this way/opposites attract but there’s a lot of this and that/when the process is monotonous you’ve gotta mix and match/why must i be a dog/why i must i get the cat/got licked by my wounds but why must i lick it back/nothing heals when it’s touched/Nothing cooks when it’s watched/there’s things we need to discuss but you only look at your clock/I’m all in it/I lost gimmicks/I Lost spinach/My hearts finished/it’s off limits/got lost in it/

L.B.O.L:
I know sometimes it’s hard to face the day you’d rather fade away and disappear/Been a couple years of struggles trying to fight against the tears/Scars all on the heart it’s getting hard to let them near/Love is starving built your garden out of fear/Well I’m here/Just to let you know you’re not alone/Product of a broken promise brought up in that mosh pit they call a home/And in that closet got a pile of bones/Still it’s so amazing how you shine beneath the grime when even diamonds don’t/Eyes are closed while I’m writing this/Imagining the beauty that I’ve found in every flaw that you’re fighting with/While I’m trying to shake the vices grip/Caught up in a cycle sick/Then you came and showed me what it’s like to live/That’s why I hate to see you hang your head/Caught up in the same regrets that made you now I wonder where you’re aiming next/So I had to make it musical/Just to show you every scar is beautiful/Cause/
(Hook)
Verse 2:
I just wanna see you smile again It’s been awhile my friend/Focused on the future but forgot about the now and that’s a violent trend/And you gon’ feel it when it finally ends/But until then/Please believe that if you need I’ve got the time to spend/Cause I know why it’s tough to let them in/When you’ve been invested in these people still it seems you’re just a step to them/And it’s hurtful so you’re hesitant/To open up it’s like so many cuts have got you scared of what’s suppressed within/I catch you grinning every now and then/Trying to blend and hide behind the mask so they don’t see you but I’m not convinced/And you’ve been starving with your pockets thin/I’m watching while you’re watching them/Knowing you still feel you’ve got a lot to give/That’s why I hate to see you hang your head/Caught up in the same regrets that made you now I wonder where you’re aiming next/So I had to make it musical/Just to show you every scar is beautiful/Cause/

Letters From Home:
It's on until the family's fed Homie hold the head up/Move against the mass make it so they don't Forget us/I Heard that it's a Set up/Well this is my arrival and I'm out to fight the rival with a rifle and a relic/You and I been grinding for forever Since everything that they fed us was foul/Came a long way/so many miles/I’m working to make it worth it/nobody perfect I smile/Scratch the surface you gotta know me by now/I Mean/Ain’t a damn thing changed/still at it/Still picking at compositions to fit the friction to static/And I/face the world with a pistol grip on the madness/Managed to take it all across the atlas/But Everybody wanna blow without a fuse to spark/And they been trying to kill the show before my movie movie start/So I Had to Hit the road Just to prove my art/I was trying to grow so we grew apart/But I'm still hoping that you'll follow/I’m still living like I might not see tomorrow/And I'm still trying to give it all I got until I'm hollow or I hit the lotto/So the fam don't have to borrow/There’s solace in the bottom of a bottle with problems in every part of that wobble/I walk it off like it's nothing we seen it all though/So ain't no stopping us/stomping through your metropolis/Moving to make it mine it's for everybody that rock with us/
(Hook)
Verse 2:
Keep the fist up sister we gotta handle this/Travel the storm and still manage to keep the candles lit/Last standing The captain abandon ship/Got us all out here stranded up on a planet of mannequins/But, we were taught to react/And I couldn't shake the feeling I was lost in a trap/Got a team and started building on the fossils of rap/Found my spot in the pack/Had to leave I know I'm awful for that/But How you living/How you Balancing subtraction and addition/And how we building castles while we Grapple with addiction/Hey do the math let's take it Back to the beginning/This is my religion/And these are my credentials/Think about the path the brother getting sentimental/Never meant to last but I never fit the stencil/Now its in my grasp look at everything I been through/Look how I adapt when the rents due/And smash through the venue/And they said I ain't even have potential/How far we gotta fall before they're satisfied/All they ever fed us was a pack of lies/But my little soldier got his daddies eyes/And I'm a show him we can hit the stratus if we strategize/I Know they hate us for the sacrifice/All that I can tell them is I had to try/

And I can smile cause I know myself/I can smile cause I know myself
