Bounce Back

Survived every battle
So far
With my conscious
Can't hold me back now
I swear

Survived every battle
So far
With my conscious
Can't hold me back now
In reflection
I dare to push edges
They calling me sharp
Soils Retention
All over the map of my body
U see the skid marks
The slides in the parks
I'm swinging
I'm smoking
I'm losing my mind
But never my focus
I owe this
To all of my lovers
Who gave me their time
I wonder bout cost of my living
And age of my folks
Who will need my attention
Come cancer or broke
Wallets corrode
From building our wealth
On top of a hill
We weren't sposed to climb
Was I spose to rhyme
I think I tell stories
For more than a track (ad-lib: trap)
Difference in bag
Size style N purpose.....
Stage up in flames
We burnin the curtains
And spreading their ashes
saying prayers for
songs that never recorded
By family before us
We pour in and singing
The chorus
Gone Over n over n over n over
Again
We'll do it again
And never stop trying
To level our own shit
Until we can own shit
Land and a bus
A jet subway a truck
18 wheels
At 18 killed
4 years later
like I'm 18 still
Yet wider
Minded
Time divided
In fractions
Take action
take what ours
without asking


In the Meantime (feat. Jabu Mbara)

Ima come clean
I'm so nasty
Pick up the pieces
I'm hashing
Out I'm so papas
I'm dancing
I'm moving my muscles
and flexin my flow like elastic
Passion:
Like I'm in the shower
No tantrum gon move me forward
No phantom opera gon move raise these bars
No artist gon lay these bars
Quite like I do
Never quiet see how my mic move
Y'all fondu
Breathe out
I've signed to
Me myself n I
See how I split that pie
See how I spit this rhyme
See how I grip that light

Corroding my hope
Hear a voice screaming
It's tellin me NO
Spend all day thinkin
the end of it know
I'm better with practice
I'll learn to adjust
Yeah I'm learning to cope
I'm flirting with growth
Searching for more
I'm a curtain
I'm soap
Wash thoroughly
I Ain't satisfied
Never pasteurized
In your pastors eyes
Passed down
This like a Family business
We living ghosts
given to this city
Ridden through this city
written on this city
But
Home ain't Stephen F
I'm breathing in
One at a time
Each breath I catch
I'm after mine
The mastermind
Of my own path
I capture rhymes
And I own that
I wrote that
Anecdotes
This Kodak
Camera phone can't hone that
Energy that I throw back
Y'all TBT
That's throwback
I'm no man
Soul of woman
Hear earth moaning
Tune in to this moment
Not CNN
In front ya home
Where the birds stay
And the shoes hang
Where secrets Hang
on the tips of tongues
Where drool stains
Pillows and the window
View sustains
Your focus
Now time to go Pull yo shoe strings
Lace up Out that door pace up
We're moving


Success Is Never Free (feat. StormShadow)

What shall you find
what shall you see

Lessons we learn
Success don't come free

Victim to no one
We battle the fees
That charge us of spirit
And tax us our feet
Smoke from our mouths
Cuz It's fire we breath
Higher we climb
Yet we tackled by grief
I'm tired but who ain't

Maybe you askin...
Maybe you askin...

What i do
And where I'm going
Look thru the catalogue
answers lie in the poems

rooster to morning yawn
A new alarm
You think you heard it
but never did
With every day
I'm Gettin better
To myself
I'm writing letters
This a stamp
Addressed in pedals
i.e. My alphabet
No alpha male
My talent blessed
Produced guitar all on these tracks
got calluses
I'm the yolk to these eggs
The knees in ya legs
The please and thank you
They sayin amen
Got u prayin before tracks
I miss making tapes on 4-tracks
But i keep it moving
This rap a picnic
Bring yo blanket
We can lay on
The lawn of imagination
Creation is where we stay
Can I address
What's got me going
Got me stressed
Can I play
With these words
For a living
I think there's more to it
I'm gettin to it
So full of rhymes
Thinking I'm spilling over
Can Call me fluid
Speakin my own language
I'm Fluent
this pillow case rap
Before you sleep
Recite my cadence
N keep it rotating:

Move to the rhythm
In the direction you dream
Your connection to this
Earth will tell you everything

What shall you find
what shall you see

Lessons we learn
Success don't come free


Me Voy (feat. Las Krudas)

Funny feeling when
The shock lingers
Touching souls without my fingers
15ft from my fears
Drums in my ears
For years
I'd be better off gone says a voice
Loud n clear
So I'm
louder And clearer
Make sure ya hearin
I ain't perfect but
Striving a craft
Writing my raft
See me writing a draft
As if it were final
A part of survival
Work thru
Depression
Intend to
be better
Lover a listener
Tender
Strokin the strings of your wonder
You'll wonder I'm playing a fender
I'm bending my gender
Surrender like never
I'm tender
Y'all nuggets
And video clips
No hero
No ship
Gon come to down
To save us
Even if Hillary wins
Prepare for the fatal
Radar B beepin
Like teletrim- Mossack Fonseca
Ain't the end of the sphere
Ain't the end of my fear
Hopefully grow up
Be better by the end of this year
Incentives so rare
So I'll make em myself
Pray My melody forms
An amphetamine core
That keep you moving
An imperturbable force
Suspended in time
Propelling me forth
For sell I ain't for
Imbedded in bed
with my chores
I can't keep still when I sleep
Only falling these days
gravity reigns
Seasons they change
Sneezin
But ain't the allergies
Fade
Cannot mistake
reality for pixels
daily reminder
I'm more than my picture
More than my figure
More than the figures
I stack
My breath is a portrait of moving
Excellence
life on another plain
tired of traffic
Someday I'll be up in a plane
i already fly
Ain't at the top of a building
But on the tongue of these trees
To treat my tribulation
I'll Triple my trunk
trying to tip
the scales call em reptilian
Tribute to trouble
Stirred by the loved ones
I trust
Training for trials
Sometimes it feels like
We waiting past Patiently
Piled by lies and pillars
Built on the backs of our mothers
I wonder
If we gon make it
Or make it enough
No matter what
I'm down to write a verse record n puff


New Shews (Old Memories) (feat. Etcetera)

Riding through the avenues
Of blue I wanna break these strings
I balance out my paranoia
Gotta pay my fee
Will you listen to this track
And run away with me?
Wish I had another ankle
My angle like an angel
The lightning blinding
So We need the dark
I want to hold you gently
Ride a swing my park
Just a block away
Two words past the last sentence
This ain't my last sentence
You oughta stay

Memory a tangible threat
I can't afford to forget
The moments that made me
Crushed me
Put me in the ground
tile and stone
Lust tangled my nerves
A riot
N stroke
Red lights
And a quote
Of dead musicians
Gone too young
Idol none the less
Never idol
Never be none or less
See me loosen
Up
Down side to side
I need to dance more
Let me grab a mic
And make the streets
Our dance floor
Heart heavy
Bars ready
Like an MBE
I'm 10-feet deep
No grave can compete
With this cavalry rhyme
Compassion out of panic
My posture
Portrayed in sonnets
So Texan
They call me bluebonnet
So hot
They blew on it
So much fiber
Make ya chew on it
(so baberuth
hit after hit)
Rotate the center cause
Thru fresh and new topics
Too polished
If I keep working
At this pace
I might escape
A mental cage
Thru pen and page
N exit gate
At center stage
This my corrido
Att your window
Like I'm bronco
On a horse
I brought a course
And not a class
But a meal
With arms To show you
how I hold
Myself accountable
I ain't perfect for real
Maybe one day
you'll understand exactly
how I feel


3 Deep (feat. False Prophet)

Ode to the hands that caressed me
Ora trankilo but restless
Rest assured
Chest is a treasure
You can't pick up off of the floor

off to the wizard
I'm off of my rocker
My rocket a raspa
I stopped eating leche
Never pretending
I'm tending to needs
Like a garden
My fam then my friends
They still trying to breath
Little space
Little light
Lips are tied
Limits
Littered with fine print in lease
I'm signing and signing
initial in corners
Initially thought
My wrist was gone twist
resist every dollar I put down
On land Which i know ain't mine
But we still needing to find
A Room
Floor two doors toilet n broom
More than an ethic
Peter Alexis
I see the credit
It's due
For me a dream was accomplished
A honor to bless a home
be ya accomplice
Mimi n T
Mak, Fum and Cindy
Michael and Chi
Storm Jabu and blue
Entine and maybe you too

I see the start of this end
And it's gorgeous
We made Oxygen on Mars
Black n brown Creative fortress
For less
Or none to those who recorded
Threw parties and used space for storage
We thank you so dearly
In headlights im dearing
Like letters sincerely
We won't stop
We'll multiply
Only fly
Up this hill
We will keep strong


Borderlinez Promo Remix (feat. Blakchyl & ChiClopz)

Certified Austin
Curly fries at Dans kinda thing
Kinda sting
When you find out your main inspiration
ain't put on
Saints that some stood on
At 50%
Y'all Magazine coupons
Pluto ain't a planet now
somebody choosin?
Play chess
I see plenty w twisted feet
Tryna compete for money with no knowledge of history
See chi n T
Clopz Blakchyl
The Kings
They made a bridge of steel
For the culture
gonna make name
we never knew
And break a game
y'all thought No one
could break through
Serve you a plate too
Hot n ready
always been
Make you grip a fork
N scrape through

Always been for the movement
See us movin
Knowin
1.9 mil ain't enough x 2
Sandra bland remembered
We pray for her
Justice
There ain't enough
No one taimin us
To exist we brave enough
We taking cheese sauce
And the crust
Hear us now
