I don’t deserve this
I don’t even deserve this beat.
everything I ever wanted
everythin God did for me.
Even when I had no home,
thought I could find me in theese streets.
I ain’t gone sit here and lie, like no one had It worst than me.
Thought that I had It all, but really I ain’t even know me.
16 made a fam, 25 smiling from cheek to cheek, thought I was doing It right, but ain’t no one was there to teach, what’s the real question, how do you keep yo family?
Look in the mirror,
man I hate who I fucking see.
All this weight I carried, shame was taken up off from me.
Things I couldn’t fathom,
still come back and be haunting me.
Yeah that lustful nature,
that was gone be the death of me. Everything my wife put up with tho, I would of been left my ass In the streets.
I would of been left my ass In the streets.
Let it ride, let it ride, uh
Let it ride let it ride uh
dad had 3 wives In his lifetime, wouldn’t change mine for a lifeline
lemme drown, let me escape my mind.
All the answers that I tried to find
Yuh yuh
put your trust In man and he’ll fail you, I’m a new being since I met my savior
Open up
they’ll put u in the ground, gettin real real tired wasting time with these clowns uh.
Starts with a smile but ends in a frown.
Same ol’ shit since Pac had It down. What
All the love and the care goes unnoticed
been thru the mud, now i gotta deal wit yo shit?
Fuck nah
Ima worry bout me,
spent to many years stressin’ worryin’ bout she
uh
Gotta find yo place in this cityyy
the way u treated me damn damn It’s a pitty
Fathers day, christmas day
damn It’s a shame,
but whatever u say, will not cause me pain
Yuh
Gotta Shake it off like tay said
bigger fish to fry, bigger problems than a base head
Shit
And I ain’t even jaded
Didn’t say shit to your face, meditated
put it in a song
Wipe my nephews nose stead of lookin for a bong
Jaa
Talk shit, and you get no reply
A man who stands for something
can’t live off his own supply.
I took my blessings and multiply
God please help me fortify,
make me the man that I am inside,
The man that you want me to be,
the dad that my kid need to see,
the man my wife need me to be.
Demons was all up inside of me,
now I see the light, no sean paul,
I was set free. To many tragedies
I was on call, I got the news yeah my homie gone.
get back up, keep ma head up
Gotta keep movin
my city countin on me.

Late 2015, that I remember,
Playin with my son,
Ain’t had a job since decemeber,
Ain’t had a job since the winter,
Felt like a loser, far, far from a winner,
God hold me down, down, down, felt like a clown, clown, clown
wait
wanted get tatted, didn’t know what,
I had enough,
always was blessed
even when down on my
luck,
hit up the shop,
got pop’s initals,
yeah my initials,
but that’s pop’s initial’s,
and his pop’s initial’s,
that Is not the issue,
but this dude walked In,
Lookin hella fly,
I saw some something In him,
talkin bout some hat
where Is my sombrero?
Meanwhile I was getting tatted by this girl
She fucked my shit up, but at least I met this dog,
A month later
I got that shit retouched, but fuck it
it was like this moment was supposed to happen,
he Turned around looked at my shirt,
with a grin likes whats happenin
miami heat tee,
he asked u from miami?
I said yuh.
U blaze
was the second shit he asked?
I said yuh
but im new in town,
say less I got you,
So i went and copped a dove,
he hooked me up,
said we stay In touch
I was gone for a while,
I didn’t call for a couple months,
got back and copped another dove.
The 20 I gave him,
he copped some brews,
one for me and one for you,
I was like shit,
that was lit, I mean u don’t see that type of shit
nowhere,
puffin lah just to get by, puffin law just to get high,
Time went by
a friendship had birthed, was bumpin that
dark sky paradise,
coppin hella dimes, hella dimes
u put me on to that new drizzy drake,
Shit it’s too late
that was our shit,
surprised me cause u only listend to Gucci,
at that time all was still gucci,
till one day we went to yo crib,
u told me some shit,
U told me u smoked yo shit tweaked,
that you been smoking what you would call geeks,
chill bruh u ain’t hooked?
Nah fool Is all good,
nah fool it ain’t good.
time told and u was different,
barely smilin always bitter,
walkin round
always tryna get In to shit,
walkin round
always mad.
I even lived with yo ass,
everyday you sippin rum,
bruh why tf u skippin lunch?
Only stayed a couple days,
we was on different paths,
quickly got sick of that,
Uh
dark days all around, happiness not around,
you was out makin rounds,
Meanwhile
I was findin new ways
to be makin pounds,
we met sometimes
It was cool,
but there was some distance,
I left again, still facin my shit then,
got a new job in a whole other town,
we stopped talkin for a for a while,
my brotha no longer around,
but look at me now,
dreams getting bigger, my dogs getting slimmer,
it wasn’t till my dog Italy sent me that message that got to me,
it read “you remember ben? I thought
fuck wrong with his head,
I’m the reason ya’ll friends,
fuck It I said ofcourse,
what’s up, bro passed away last night.
My heart melted.
I was working, had to get to get up
tears pouring, I was frozen,
I called my wife, couldn’t get no words out bruh on my life
she thought I was fired,
couldn’t get my mind together,
my mind was frying
but my brotha home now,

hurt like u have no idea
still feeling it now
how could of? Or how would of shit went If Ben still around?
If I never left.
If I would of went round him and talked to his dad,
they could of found help man,
fuck.
But no doubt that you in a better place homie

Ben

You know i had to close It on some chill shit
This the type of shit, everybody they gone feel it.

Boy I’m just chillin
classics on the way, and they know I got a killin
Get rid of that, chip on your shoulder shit
Let’s make some millions, and start owning shit
I ain’t nothing like you
I do It for different reasons
I’m built different, you can go and thank Jesus
but Souza can’t leave till I hit them with the realness.
I pray that Ethereal reach a billion, lives
Sick of seein young souls dying
Sick of seein old folks crying
people lyin
people plottin on they own for a piece of devils pie
watch them stand In line
D’Angelo Is me, that means you & I
The devil ain’t shit
And you can’t believe no lies
I Kept thinkin, I wasn’t gone live
Baby I was petrified
But I will survive, yuh yuh, I will survive
Hit em with the vibes
Hit with the disco revival
Aplete hit me with some beats
on some Quincy & Michael
Bish I’ll never go psycho
So Please don’t treat me like an Idol
Peruvian, american idol
This shit gone get hella groovy
ain’t you see the title?
So much shit got me stressing
no ones perfect, just progressing
The mind can be a scay place
Think easier, think progressive.
Yuh
Got so much to say, but not enough time
I guess I’ll hit em with a vibe.
I guess I’ll hit em with a vibe.
I guess I’ll hit em with a vibe.
Yuh
Got so much to say, but not enough time
I guess I’ll hit em with a vibe.
I’ll just hit em with a vibe.
I’ll just hit em with a vibe.
Yeah my sista she addicted. Addicted to money, fast life got her going ignit.
Pray about it
Everything I is made me everything I was,
thank God that I made it this far,
realize I’m the same age as Pac
and I ain’t done shit but
write, rap and talk,
This time I gone show them what’s up, I gotta take em for walk
Before the beginning I hold close to my heart

I need therapy yuh, I need therapy
I need hella peace yuh I need hella peace
I need therapy yuh, I need therapy
I need hella peace yuh I need hella peace
who knew so much can change
While I was workin on this EP but
that’s between you, you & me now
up is all I see, time to work on me
dark days had me feelin like Rue on her worst days,
now we goin out every thursday,
just to clear my mind, things was gettin outta line,
Now I’m just tryna unwind
Friday nights we used to sip wine and vibe,
But now I gotta ride brotha
gotta get mines,
gotta fix my mind, lately it’s been starting to decline
anxieties becoming more and more apparent,
Gotta stay on my grind
I would say I’m doin better, but boy stop lyin’
I stopped putting blame on other people, gotta face mines,
could of been a better man
I just needed mo time,
Could of been a better father
Now, That’s my main line

Got so much to say, but not enough time
I guess I’ll hit em with a vibe.
I guess I’ll hit em with a vibe.
I guess I’ll hit em with a vibe.
Yuh
Got so much to say, but not enough time
I guess I’ll hit em with a vibe.
I’ll just hit em with a vibe.
I’ll just hit em with a vibe.
I ll just hit em with a vibe
Gotta get mines
So i guess this goodbye
