Grown Ass Kid

Try to be the one that wanna roll this clip,
Blowin’ in the windy and it's cold as shit,
If you ain’t lookin’ friendly you can hold this dick,
Hold this dick,
Cuz my soul is thick,
in this soulless pit,
I aint really nothin’ but a grown ass kid,
Fuckin with me now shoulda known back then
Rather be below ground then above motionless,
So I hope it gets...
Better,
But till then, I'm ready for whatever,
feel like I'm on the set of my own movie,
Batman, no George Clooney,
Had fam that was last tapped in the trap and they broke in,
now he's in the pen, they got em,
Whether it's the City Government or even all the Churches in the covenant,
Curruption never ends in Gotham,
My homie knew I had a couple extra bucks to spend,
so he asked if I could lend to spot him, I said no prolem,
that was before he got locked,
I ain't know his plot,
Selling narcotics to a narc, how he got knocked,
Following the flock,
Got his ass following the clock,
Now he's DJ tick to the tock,
Tried to flip to the top,
We had a shot but you was
Dealing that shit to the kids on the block.
Try to be the one that wanna roll this clip,
Blowin in the windy and it's cold as shit,
If you aint lookin friendly you can hold this dick,
Hold this dick,
Cuz my soul is thick,
in this soulless pit,
I aint really nothin but a grown ass kid,
Fuckin with me now shoulda known back then
Rather be below ground then above motionless,
So I hope it gets...
Alot better from here,
It's not weather I fear,
I treasure my years,
even when I measure my tears,
From my peers long gone,
locked up twice now immortalized in a song,
If I do it from the heart,
I could do no wrong.
But you on the same status Pluto's on,
Why'd you have to chew those jawns?
I guess the gravity had to be rapidly,
passin me, 2 months ago we was matching in, traffic,
traffic turned to trafficking,
Wanna be the trappin king? What were you imagining?
Did you ever think how many fuckin liiives you were damaging?
Sonny said that talent waasted is the saddest thing,
So I get wasted still battling, pour a lil liquor for you everytime I do,
I wish it wasn't true, Knowin you, It woulda been the red pills you was sellin if it wasn't blue,
Where is my crew? Half of these mothafuckuz is fiends, the other half dead or in jail too,
Try to sail through,
You can roll clips in the city but the city's gonna inhale you.
Try to be the one that wanna roll this clip,
Blowin in the windy and it's cold as shit,
If you aint lookin friendly you can hold this dick,
Hold this dick,
Cuz my soul is thick,
in this soulless pit,
I aint really nothin but a grown ass kid,
Fuckin with me now shoulda known back then
Rather be below ground then above motionless,
So I hope it gets...

Stuck in the News

Fuck can I do?
Whole world stuck in the news,
Home girl sucked in it too,
They don't wanna change,
When I was crushin them blues,
Even I had somethin to prove,
Gift and the curse;
Everytime I drift in the verse,
I don't know which side worse I'm just speakin on the lessons I've learnt,
Even in school,
I was actin a fool,
Now they callin it 'Turnt'
You can do the politics I ain't concern,
Standin in astonishment waitin my turn,
You a Jetson I'm more Jefferson like Sherm,
Chasin on the stacks Ima earn,
Movin on up,
Come and hit the buddha I puff guarantee
that it's less of a burn.
I mean to currupt, you may look clean in ya tux,
but we'll see by the end of your term.
I don't give a fuck!
Might as well focus on me,
Let's all say Hopeless on three!
Used to worry bout how the dope was on you
Now it's 2 years later and the dope is on me,
Floatin on keys, over lands, oceans, and seas,
I would status shots now I post them in these
I could roastem and leave,
I'm suppos-edly free.
The potion we see
Is potent indeed
Fuck can I do?
Whole world stuck in the news,
Home girl sucked in it too,
They don't wanna change,
When I was crushin them blues,
Even I had somethin to prove,
Gift and the curse,
Everytime I drift in the verse,
I don't know which side worse I'm just speakin on the lessons I've learnt,
Even in school,
I was actin a fool,
Now they callin it 'Turnt'
Now they callin it Turnt (turnt)
(x4)
You can call it what it is cuz the truth discerns-
All labels, Tryna act like we ain't livin in a fable,
I wonder who made you? Was it your environment or you?
Come on now, try a hit or two.
Fuck can I do when the whole world drinkin that Kool-
Aid to a place that be holdin our fuel,
I ain't seen the face of a terrorist yet,
Yet the news is a station of terrorist threats,
Scare us till the point where we cherish our breaths
So we all think America's best,
Even when I sleep man I'm wearin my vest,
I don't like this gun, preparin my
feral mind, peril-
I swear on my death,
I ain't even close
To joinin this Empire so I'm going at the throat,
Build a Great Wall, I'll still be flowing at the coast,
More than the Cartels, but they showing that the most,
Where the heart fails, Then the brain finds growth,
We boast, but who's the parasite and who the host?
Pop another pill just to find a way to cope, But it's dope,
So when I look around I'm seeing ghosts,
Or a zombie apocalypse,
There's a graveyard beyond the metropolis,
Why are we bombing shit?
Cuz we fucked Sadam just like Sadamists
After readin Politics out of the Economist
So I don't know what honest is, (1/2p)
When the anchorman always puttin on an act,
And as she sleeps her sweet dreams'll turn to screams
Another young mind Took it all as fact.
Fuck can I do when the whole world drinkin that Kool-
Aid to a place that be holdin our fuel,
I ain't seen the face of a terrorist yet,
Yet the news is a station of terrorist threats,
Scare us till the point where we cherish our breaths
So we all think America's best,
Even when I sleep man I'm wearin my vest,
I don't like this gun, preparin my
feral mind, peril-
I do,
Whole world stuck in the news,
Home girl sucked in it too,
They don't wanna change,
When I was crushin them blues,
Even I had somethin to prove,

Everytime I drift in the verse,
I don't know which side worse I'm just speakin on the lessons I've learnt,

What do I need 2 say?
My bad that I don't see the grey?
Lookin at me like I had a fee 2 pay,
I still got some roots gotta Weed away!
Hatin for no reason eh?
Used to think I didn't Need them, they
Told me once that I should seize the day,
So with a smile on my face
Ima Be the way!
Ima Be the way,
aye aye!
Ima be the way. (aye aye)
Ima be that way,
Ima take that lead,
Ima be that change.
Feelin like it's 5 million degrees 2 day,
While I'm back in philly on my knees 2 pray,
Two blocks down a girl is on her knees 2 pay,
On the top of his head, Police man say,
Look away, Look away, but don't think how much it took to play,
that sad game, 2 reasons for a fast lane, either cash or his last name,
We like to think these people never grew up,
So from afar we judge.
What happened was they never knew love.
What do I need 2 say?
My bad that I don't see the grey?
Lookin at me like I had a fee 2 pay,
I still got some roots gotta Weed away!
Hatin for no reason eh?
Used to think I didn't Need them, they
Told me once that I should seize the day,
So with a smile on my face
Ima Be the way!
Ima Be the way,
aye aye!
Ima be the way. (aye aye)
Ima be that way,
Ima take that lead,
Ima be that change.
What can I say? I don't see it!
Sometimes ignorance is needed,
Or maybe what it takes for you to peep this
would leave my energy depleted!
See the reason they call it a Secret,
is you gotta live it in order to believe it,
Some choose to complain about the rain without
seein the cloud they're beneath- shit,
what I mean is, are you dreamin? Living nightmares?
or inbetween them?
I know I'm quite scared of many demons,
so I don't keepem in my home region,
Cuz I know if I do, it won't be long,
before you turn my attitude,
but it's you who makes me strong,
so I give gratitude, (2p) for all of my haters,
years from now when I'm one of the greatest I'll look back and admit you made us.
all of that blasphemous shit you gave us, try 2 turn me away from creatin,
killin my vibe while I'm on vacation, n I would escape them rather than be patient,
but now, but now, ha ha! I got my chance to say,
fix that resting bitch face, and wake up to a better day.

Your Presence
02:30
|

Will you stay around? Even when I'm layin down,
with blood poolin round while suds splashin on the pavement ground?
Or will you stay with me thru chemo if I get cancer?
Or when my mother dies and Ima need a wise answer?
How bout when I'm locked up and need bail?
You my one phone call, pray 2 god you won't fail.
Be there for me at least when I'm in pain,
& take my ass home in a car if it starts to rain.
Harder thangs, take up the short time we have,
's why I keep my people tight 2 keep my mind off that
I was a junkie and a fool who cast them all aside,
thought I was cool but it was suicide due 2 pride,
You could lie 2 anyone, but can't fake yourself,
I was obvious as hell like "they can't break my stealth"
Luckily I had some ppl there 2 help,
but honestly if I didn't, well...well.
But look at me and everything I'm going through!
I never stopped to say I'm thankful for knowing you.
For some it's far too long I haven't spoken to
cuz I was selfish that's what the lean n soda do.
Quote a few words of wisdom, how to break out this prison,
realign with this vision, then we smoke a few.
I just wanna talk some real shit,
I ain't always tryna play poker, so what's your motive dude?
Makin new friends these days is just tough,
ppl cool for one dutch, then flip out over some dumb stuff.
Or they'll be there when you feedem
but for some reason leave the region when you mo'fuckin needem.
But hey that's freedom.
And I guess they call it treason cuz trees change with seasons.
So I never tried to beat em, if it's facebook friends I unfollow or deletem.
Life is hollow in this teeming whirlwind of desire,
most of my homies got a girlfriend and retired.
I guess they got tired, but who am I to
say what makes you happy needs 2 meet what I require.
See I aspire to inspire like the virgin Mary when the Holy Spirit flew inside her,
human lives are what's important the illusion is it's just you,
Hard 2 decipher what I want and what I must do,
I've come to the realization that your presence is the only thing real
till we done with this sentence.
Ima be there when you need me best believe
and to the ones we can't do nothing for rest in peace

[Chorus Section: Kid Hartha]
I see nothing but pain around I askem' what they prayin fo'?
Equip myself with thousands of these rounds cuz I ain't sayin mo'!
Your God has never seen the light this feelin like my day to go!
Keep thinkin' I'm playin' hoe, keep thinkin' I'm playin' hoe!
[Verse 1: Kid Hartha]
He fell right down onto his knees and bled from his mouth
Speaking in tongues until I used the blade from the barrel of my gun to slice his tongue out
Your book is just like this knife, silenced like my guns pow
See it always gotta come to the guns now!
Fire up the spirit another one down
Shoulda' read your tarot
From the card of a Pharoah
Woulda' seen your Sparrow
I don't care though, inject poisin your marrow
Strapped to electric chair bro
I said I ain't scared for no man that bleed same the same blood
I hold the same grudge you hold but can't budge
Vultures hang overhead mistake us for dead
For takin' our meds
I stay ready with a verse for takin' y'all legs like a diabetic
You can't walk out safe in dialetic
Try and let it
You will see the wrath of the following mass
Upper echelons of a hollowing caste
All engulfed inside a swallowing blast from
From a small backpack in the trash
How many more rat-tat-tats do we have
Til' facts put a tack the past?
[Chorus Refrain]
[Verse 2: Kid Hartha]
Oh yea, this my day to go
Up into the cloud where my data go
Warp mark 10 you can make it so
Your kindom's up there? Let me take you home
I'm just looking for a place to roam
But you wanna put us back into Ancient Rome
Only thing that you did was engrave a stone
And now slaves got brave wanna play the throne
Metaphorical combat where my qualm at
No context with no contacts
Say no sex but then around a psalm ain't the only place
Father's palm at!
You bomb first when I bomb back Ima' kill your generation
Ima' whither your seeds with the rhythm of greed
Your sons and their grandchildren witem' will bleed!
Not from the vein but the limit of brain
Spiritual and metaphysical pain
Karma, straight from Hartha
Created to harm ya, over and over again!
Follow you into your next life
How does it feel to be dead twice?
That's how it feel to be blessed right
No boom boom boom from your chest right?
[Chorus Refrain]

Lettin' It Go
05:18
|

Please excuse absence I'm so sorry for the vacancy,
Of the real in rap, man you don't know how long it's taken me,
Get my ass up off this couch and it put it someplace they can see,
Once I found the place to be, all my dreams came straight to me,
Well, not straight to me, but basically,
Compliments to my confidence which thankfully aint make believe,
Unlike all these thoughts, Tryna get me caught,
Feelin pretty guilty bout those things that I bought,
I ought, to give back more but that's my art,
How can I give my life to you before it even starts?
No tellin what I might just do, the Joker's dealin cards,
Tomorr, I might get shot down by someone feelin hard,
Apart, from that I also stutter when I speak,
Unless I'm underneath a beat, So I aint wanna leave for weeks,
I mean, rarely I stutter while music's is on,
But if I do, I'm all good, just move the ffffuck along!
Stay as strong as it takes to be,
Always hold onto the place you know,
Stay in the moment when you feel it's right,
Instead of lettin it go, Instead of lettin it go,
Instead of lettin it goooo oh, oh.
But I ain't done yet,
I bled for these words so there ain't a track that I ain't run yet,
(1/2) I was walkin from work when one block away from a church,
(p) I was jumped by some perps and they left my face in the dirt,
(p) What hurt much worse is for them I'm makin this verse,
So in more ways than one I got a taste of this Earth
That day, they took my laptop along with my cell,
So when I rose, dirty clothed I couldn't call for no help,
I cried and asked, why? After all I've been dealt,
and with no hesitation I knew it's ALL on myself,
All the people I've met,
All the places I been,
Took me one step closer to death,
I had so much faith in the wind,
that it would just carry me along,
I would up and change on a whim,
But it wasn't until I sought out destiny
my fate would begin.
So there were times I shoulda left the moment
or stayed in,
But I'd rather write my piece before lettin this page win.
