1.	Break Down, Build Up 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 When the weather gets cold Feel the chills in your bones With thoughts you can’t control Quite consumed Insight in tune Ignite the room With light like high noon Whirlwinds and typhoons Controls where minds move Never walk in my shoes Judgmental and blind dudes A peak into my life Where these beats ease the strife tryna, plant my stake in the game From peas and rice Taking elderly advice From folks twice my age Claim they know it all But still youngins in the game From their frame and their make up Honesty, will they face up? Build my place up This here is just a taste of Where sky meets the earth Every line in the verse Idle minds think worse Wondering what came first The science of a man Maneuver with a plan Trying to understand Complexities at hand Chorus Break down, build up Focus to get the skill up Heel up, wheel up Anything to build the mind Improve its design By calculating the formula How many strong enough? The game, not a foreigner Well versed Too many trying to be first A show without rehearse Lights out, so call a nurse Put ‘em in the ER These dudes know who we are Hate to acknowledge the talent So fuck it, we are Verse 2 Hold up Slow down before you crash Or end up with whiplash You moving a bit fast Pump brakes Most of these punks hate Delivering big plays Coming off the pump fake Relax, a calm state Building a peace of mind We gotta wake up How the blind gone lead the blind? Lack of direction Climb Strive perfection Addressing any issues Comments or questions An open forum The realness before ‘em New avenues explore ‘em Not following decorum Haters we ignore ‘em Keep our eyes on the goal Trying to get inspired in a game That lacks soul Build a trifold Whatever the sky holds Not a bunch of talk Maneuver with mouth close Yeah Because the struggle is real Trying to reach and press forward Regardless of how you feel Chorus Break down, build up Focus to get the skill up Heel up, wheel up Anything to build the mind Improve its design By calculating the formula How many strong enough? The game, not a foreigner Well versed Too many trying to be first A show without rehearse Lights out, so call a nurse Put ‘em in the ER These dudes know who we are Hate to acknowledge the talent So fuck it, we are Break down, build up Focus to get the skill up Heel up, wheel up Anything to build the mind Improve its design By calculating the formula How many strong enough? The game, not a foreigner Audio clip Since when is truth unacceptable? Since when is dissent unpatriotic? I mean, I thought I lived in the land of the free, and the home of the brave!

Verse 1 Parallel perspective Political objective The mission directives Change the perceptions Look into reflections The lines in the message So intrepid Guess it No one contest it Expose media Gravitate I’m a meteor Pound for pound Meatier The truth No Wikipedia For your eyes only Spit lines for the homes Comrades My cronies Small circle that know me Share with a chosen few Focus what I’m supposed to do Too many comfortable Tear them out the fucking frame The last of the brave Break free of the chains Fight for better days In the midst of the pains The beast they can’t tame Get close, your team maimed Discover the truth And the proof The game changed They doing the same thing Results of the same patterns Can’t handle different things coming at ‘em Chorus Holding on to memories Building off abilities No matter what facility Maneuver with agility It’s written in the plans Supply and demand The task at hand No matter what withstand Weathering storms Against the grains and the norms Through the music reborn Ride the wave till its calm (x3) Verse 2 Spit the curriculum Perfectionist Particular Lyrics moving vehicular Mysteries of the trivia Finding clues Without the evening news Evidence we peruse Walk the path in our shoes Passionate dudes Always will focus on the come-up From sun-down to sun-up We hoping our numbers run up I’ve saved and I lost Paid dues Paid costs Had the highest of the highs And the lows I’ve seen dark Embark on my next thing These demons that I’m wrestling Using only best means My time I’m investing And the stock expensive These blocks be defensive Use aggression when needed With good intentions Chorus (x2) Holding on to memories Building off abilities No matter what facility Maneuver with agility It’s written in the plans Supply and demand The task at hand No matter what withstand Weathering storms Against the grains and the norms Through the music reborn Ride the wave till its calm (x3)

Met her on Main Street Where them fiends and things meet Facing the same heat Get her from this lame creep She spread ‘em nightly Off night not likely Slow whispers fall on earlobes slightly Bitter sweet nothings The ones for the loving To get her through it Liquid courage Get a buzz and Laying in the filth of her lifestyle Guilt A dead end Is what her lifestyle built So it seems The passion for the gleam The fire in her eyes Extinguished Lost dreams Hallow in the core The life of a whore One point looking for more Now goals she don’t explore Product of a broke home Hope that she holding on Wondering what’s going on Moms always fucking gone A toxic pattern In ways she can’t fathom She gone so much To her son she is a phantom Fly by night love Living in the light of Lack of stability Civility In spite of The damaged psyche The come-up unlikely Overdose Comatose Highly likely Tough enough He might be To get through the pain of Suffering Bottled up in containers She popping pills So johns can feel The block is ill New cards to deal Abused as a child Her pops was running wild Virginity defiled Walk under a dark cloud Scared to ask for help Didn’t want nobody calling She bruised and battered So fragile Can’t afford it Mind and body numb to it She just look away No tears for the things that he took away Finding peace Sneaks out when he sleeps The comfort of the streets A little light when it’s bleak Hard for her to smile Or be touched once in a while Coming from a living condition That’s very foul It’s like issue after issue The drama she try avoid it No choice in the father she was appointed So now she sells sex Cause sex to her is nothing Never had true loving A reason to rise above it A reason to care In her eyes a blank stare Wonder if a soul there She no longer hold fear A hard shell She overwhelmed from the struggle She says what she feels There’s nothing about her subtle Don’t want nobody sympathy Prayers or charity She focused on the money And that’s sincerely

Verse 1 Yo, cut from a different cloth Wisdom from a different source Bring the new mission forth Ready for a mental war Words of weaponry Can’t touch it like its leprosy I got the recipe To get you to your destiny Master the art of it All of it Not a part of it Heart in it Like you wanted it Harness it Like it’s monitored The realest action I’m focused on what lies ahead Instead of speaking the truth They speaking lies instead Time to wake up Build and get this cake up The foundation been laid So now the stakes up Like Fully blossomed Touching the sky awesome Everything aint what it seems Use caution Chorus (x2) To quit Not an option Trying to remove toxins Shadowboxing The issues on the blocks and Recruit Build a flock and Birds of a feather Things may fall apart But with effort it’s back together Verse 2 The yellow tape In place Don’t trade places On any bases Avoiding any cases Who first to throw stones? Designed to get it on The faith it’s built upon In zone The mind blown Intellect of the masses Collective in fashion New things we mastered Together like it’s plastered Fist against a brick wall We wonder what we here for Get an ear-full Can’t walk the streets fearful Eyes open Line for line potent Poor but still coping Maintaining the focus Hard grasping it Standing not an accident Created immaculate Support Get in back of it Chorus (x2) To quit Not an option Trying to remove toxins Shadowboxing The issues on the blocks and Recruit Build a flock and Birds of a feather Things may fall apart But with effort it’s back together Verse 3 Embrace the struggle We move with a vision Trying to make the right decisions On all our assigned missions What’s the delta? Spit it without a filter Carry the game Built to Sam is out to milk ya Sucking the life out of ya The new great depression Retirements gone Savings gone Yo, the message Looking for that light in the sky Peirce clouds Wondering when that day of change coming out Tired of losing Frustrated, improvement Always seeking the divine through the music Our time Can’t refuse it Adjust to the journey Seen too many brothers flat line on the gurney Chorus (x2) To quit Not an option Trying to remove toxins Shadowboxing The issues on the blocks and Recruit Build a flock and Birds of a feather Things may fall apart But with effort it’s back together

Ay, ay, ay come here Verse 1 Hold up Hold up Yo turn that thing around Love when you looking up When I lay it down Eye to eye Thigh to thigh Chest to breast and No breaks between We gets no rest and Simultaneous Our neighbors Yeah they hating us It’s the bedroom paparazzi When we taping us No fuss Just us In midst of love and lust Love when you bite your lip Calling God and cuss This our sanctuary Your body is my temple Let me cherish it Praise it It’s oh so simple Cause sexy is an understatement There are other metaphors that I love to play with When describing you It’s crazy what the mind will do Love everything about you What’s inside of you And when inside of you It’s like I’m in another realm Like an outer body experience Caught on film What you done to him To get him to write these words Been with a few But it’s you I have preferred Chorus Love Take you to a higher Lust Take you to a higher Place My atmosphere You, you, you are Love Take you to a higher Lust Take you to a higher Place My atmosphere Verse 2 They say it’s sexy When you want someone That’s wanting you Especially on deeper levels Like the love of two You came right on cue Thought of you Now here you are Laying next to me I’m kissing on your beauty marks Cause when duty calls You know that I’m truly yours Really digging everything about you Even flaws Because they make you you They make you so unique Because without them God’s creation won’t be complete Tasting you is sweet Like I’m in a honey hive You feel non-appreciated with them other guys But I’ma trying to change Everything you used to know Follow the voice of your heart And where it says to go I hope it points to me Making it a point to be The only thing that you see Helping your soul get free Bridge Love shines in a blue sky Sun kissed by the moonlight My atmosphere penetrates new space In the sea as we embrace You, You, you are Love Lust Place

Chant Just for a little bit Just for a little bit Verse 1 Damn she gotta mean walk Fell in love at first smile When I seen talk She graceful Her presence I’m grateful Body sweet Like brown sugar and maple Silhouette is the best that it gets Confessing it yes Impressed by the curves in her dress From her thighs to her breast We caressing emotions Intellect combined Define focus I met I was hopeless Didn’t think it was true The love that we pursue Must first blossom in you The chance to hop to Thru her I got thru A genuine beauty Who showed me the possible Chorus Smile from you Her smile is so infectious Smile from you One of the main ingredients that connect us Smile from you Got damn, I love how she looks Smile from you Just one look, is all that it took Verse 2 All it took was one smile One look Then one spark New things we embark Louis Lane and Clark Embracing the dark But we shine when we can The one that I lean on When life demands My foundation Thru her I found patience The best of the good and the bad Is what make us Angelic Her soul a real relic The bassline of this beat Told me to tell it This for her True feelings emerge Memories we refer Even if it’s a blur But whats clear is us We not giving it up No matter what comes Whether hard or tough No matter if its rain We aint gone complain Continue to move on Try to bring some change Relying on faith Love the look of her face So different but relate Right out of the gate Chorus Smile from you Her smile is so infectious Smile from you One of the main ingredients that connect us Smile from you Got damn, I love how she looks Smile from you Just one look, is all that it took

Verse 1 Yo Make em tap out Guide the game Map out Projects is blacked out Affirmative act Maxed out Put the facts out Reach for something greater Continue drop hot shit Like moon raiders Ignore haters They aint got us here Or made us The true creators On earth Nothing can fade us Keep a dark pen Fresh fins For shark pin Blood from dark men Slaves that they brought in Something like Django Spit it from every angle Since back wearing Kangols Travel to where this thing goes Knowledge gathering Move pass formalities Increase our salaries With a hood mentality Chorus (x2) Tell me what’s going on They still doing us wrong But we giving it strong Keep it moving along Keep our eyes on the goal Follow light on the road It’s time to rock and roll Do it like we got some soul Verse 2 The African is targeted The true black market The price of a soul so low The greed cost it Money hungry The streets are fucking ugly The rain in the clouds Got the atmosphere muggy Hard to crack smiles The system giving is foul Gotta fight for what is ours Seems like blacks are out of style It’s time to bring that love back Hating Rise above that Come back With larger than life soul Not compact Change Get it on stat Format The forecast Expose the lies of these guys Put em on blast Moving on fast Can’t continue stand here The things a man fear His own ideas A student of the culture The fame will come distort ya Mind state Proportion Maneuver with some caution Grind till exhaustion Climb to the fortune The dues that it cost him His time for the flossing Chorus (x2) Tell me what’s going on They still doing us wrong But we giving it strong Keep it moving along Keep our eyes on the goal Follow light on the road It’s time to rock and roll Do it like we got some soul Verse 3 It’s like automatic judgement Color of skin Thugging Drugs got us bugging Our kids can’t rise above it They profiled Put in box categories It’s mandatory we teach them Get em to glory Different streets Same story Work with the tools before me Resource Recourse Mind exploring Break down the hemispheres Thoughts that have got us here Progression Connoisseur Top of mountain Find us here Small steps Climbing Looking forward Not behind em Pain of past refined him Had him leaving on an island With no cloning Only friend Microphone and Zoning My fuck ups in this life Now I’m owning Chorus (x3) Tell me what’s going on They still doing us wrong But we giving it strong Keep it moving along Keep our eyes on the goal Follow light on the road It’s time to rock and roll Do it like we got some soul
