Good Years (Intro)

Cold windy city on our Grizzly All We Got Is Us
A lot of rappers living proof talents just not enough
Played the hand he was dealt no wasting time shuffling
See them acting like life got a rewind button
Don't say it under your breath homie talk up approach a dude walk up
Clean but he had washed up
Nah the kid bossed up got a lot more to say ain't holding on to Glory Days
This is life lame stay in your lane slow traffic keep to the right
How steep the road he's taken not to mention toll it's taking
On some discipline over motivation
Chasing that first high for the rest of my life
Gave rap a lot of good years some of the best of my life

Lost ft. DNA and Mark U

I think we lost the essence switch Rhyming
These dudes don't follow the codes or stick by them
Loyalty that don't exist they switch siding
Go to jail and tell these dudes are 6ix 9ining
I hopped on the scene I'm the hottest from Queens
Your favourite rapper now a' days
Well he's probably a Fiend off Molly and lean
Sawed that he got from his team
At a war right now but can't stop the regime
I remember when we used to rhyme or rap as far as Pride
Well I still know mine's attached
And these so-called Legends co-sign that
Fuckin' this era we just need to bring the 90s back
We've come too far too far to say that we are lost
We've come too far too far to say that we are lost
We let them water down the purist
Strong currents we're drowning in the mainstream
Chasing cake cream subscribers sales streams
Game politics over skills
We keeping score by commas slave to dollar bills
Blacks stop killing blacks y'all ain't hearing that
The price of life mark down we on the clearance rack
There's a void to be filled time we destroy and rebuild
The cultures under construction trying to restore the feel
She was my object of affection never be another
Feeling nostalgic, Com Sence I Used To Love Her
Type of record won't get too much burn
From the era of fight the power and you must learn
We've come too far too far to say that we are lost
We've come too far too far to say that we are lost

I take my time cuz I'm waiting for these changes
I know it's hard and I know it won't be painless
Days done past where I'm praying for my family
These days won't last see this hate will stay behind me
God is real as the air we breathe
Look at us our ancestors wildest dreams
Stolen from overseas not considered human being
There was a time was a crime for us to write and read
How much about us that's preconceived
Distorted facts about blacks we're well aware of it
Control your narrative imperative no matter where it is
Witness the revolution oppresses no longer scared of them
We're all dying Africans before North American
On my Malcolm X by any means necessary
Celebrate us all year round not just February
Times we live in ask why were livid
Deliberate hate crimes on camera Killers getting acquitted
Are Extinction predicted through drugs violence addiction
Be part of the change instead of waiting for it
Everyday I'm praying for it Lord knows my faith enormous.
I take my time cuz I'm waiting for these changes
I know it's hard and I know it won't be painless
Days done past where I'm praying for my family
These days won't last see this hate will stay behind me
Tears running down my cheek I guess I'm overjoyed
Reach beyond my Peak you'll see I'm partially poised
Girls and boys Dames and gents change your plans
Kill The Noise go for yours enjoy the dance
We're human beings with human needs eradicate
That hate that keeps on spreading like disease
An appetite for Speed my patients done peeked
A Taste of the poison as it leaks I'm trying
Beauty in the struggle I see beauty in the tension
My people complicated yo I'm complicated
Mama said yo you best be thankful for the blessings
Be thankful for the food be thankful for the lessons
I said well Momma what about my grind and my sweat
She said check it before the day ends be thankful for the strength
Learn to survive with remarkable time
Revolution goes hard this remarkable life it's complicated

No luxury growing up at your own pace
From a place trauma giving young boys a stone face
Taking Care of Mom she couldn't do it herself
Tears In Her Eyes damn seeing you and herself
Cold bitter night's nothing new
Ain't talkin LP Killer Mike when the saying run the jewelz
Pops never saw him leaving by example no ones leading
Man of the house yet no one showed you how to be one
Counted us out he's bound the throw away his freedom
Anger drowning us out a voice of reason Lord we need one
To provide survive look what they made him do meth
Got us looking like Thriller back in 82
Blast off cast off Stars away away away
Away away
Send that boy off away away
Send that boy off away away
Send that boy off away
Cycle never-ending bad beginnings ain't no happy endings
You and your bredrin made it home not getting apprehended
Risk-taking Paper Chasing fiends losing patience
Chose instant gratification over graduation
All he makes his moves no announcements addiction once around it
Getting fast money it's hard to downshift
Metal settles things on corners if you cross borders
Ops get a set of wings instead of roses
In this Concrete Jungle the models him or me when no window of opportunity it's B & E's
On this rollercoaster ride we know don't last long
Life in the streets a quick High then you crash hard
Blast off cast off Stars away away away
Away away
Send that boy off away away
Send that boy off away away
Send that boy off away

I wanna be on the right side of History
I wanna I wanna be
I wanna be on the same side as victor
I wanna I wanna be
I wanna to be on the right side of History
I wanna I wanna be
I wanna be on the same side as victory
No misery there's trickery
Cause injury and misery bad memories
So literally
No Liberty just Poverty we on the wrong side of History
I wanna be on the right side of History
I wanna I wanna be
I wanna be on the same side of victory
I wanna I wanna be
I wanna to be on the right side of History
Iwanna I wanna be
I wanna be on the same side of victory
I wanna I wanna be I wanna be
I had no idea what they would take from me
Poor threw us money take part in a case study
Told for Bad Blood being treated
Lies wonder why all this bad blood between us
Ain't trying to see history repeat itself
Living in misery lack of treatment would lead to death
Eyes pouring tears years enduring hatred
Want back my 40 years still waiting on 40 acres
Made the papers front page First Nations
Malnourished indigenous took advantage of Innocence
Distant memories that got buried
Digging up the past all we got was dirty
Documents destroyed and the truth with it
God bless the survivors still the proof Livin
Next steps we overdue to take
Start living as One race that's the human race
Put needle in skin
Let vaccine seep in
No withholding food or medicine
No poisoning by North Americans
Biased malpractice still exists
We no longer their experiments
Sarah Baartmen
Henrietta Lacks
We can trust a vaccine
Designed woman who's Black
But what about our first nation's
Ghosts of racist's past
Turning their ugly head
When we ask
About aboriginal children
Government made lab rats
Can't go from to sea to sea
To the great white north
Study unethical, tuskegee
Ward of state, custody
North star ain't set us free
Can't stand in solidarity
Racism is a virus with no cure
A vaccine will help us endure
Racism is a virus with no cure
A vaccine will help us endure

Small Town Girl

Don't matter if she is hurting even when it feels uncertain
You picking up the phone always been the bigger person
Some days keeping you going only God above
My gratitude for holding on when I was hard to love
Now it's only Good Vibes let the laughter Hold Us
Like photos before they're gone trying to Capture Moments
Put behind us all the hard Luck plus we got plans too big to sweat the small stuff
Some things just understood not things got to be said
Sometimes just need your bed tired from chasing bread
It's a lonely world when we're apart
I ain't thinking about the words speaking from the heart
We're all searching for purpose one day I hope you'll find it
Maybe just beyond our reach maybe it's inside us
Just keep me grounded love no I got lots to do
Small town girl that the world hasn't gotten to
Small town girl that the world hasn't gotten to
Yeah boy seen sides of you that no one else does
Sometimes you disappear and unplug working on self-love
Young lady it felt like herself lately me either
Still she brings your best out stressed out needing a breather
Never back and forth about a post
She knows who they see the least is who matters most
We're looking at the same picture just from different angles
When we're on the same page ain't nothing we can't do
We're all searching for purpose one day I hope you'll find it
Maybe just beyond our reach maybe it's inside us
Just keep me grounded love no I got lots to do
Small town girl that the world hasn't gotten to
Small town girl that the world hasn't gotten to
