Caution (Open Verse)
Verse:
Gotta take precautions baby, see I gotta love from afar
See these walls are protecting my heart, don’t wanna see us growing apart
Don’t mean to stray you along, but as you see my heart is covered in scars
Still dealing with my past, but it doesn’t truly negate the woman you are
See I gotta know if you’re worthy of me giving time to
Truth being told, I’m sick of tired of being used, mistreated, and lied to
Searched all over, far and wide but now, I finally found you
But venting my feelings to you is really something I’m working around to ...

Redemption (Open Verse)
Intro:
You know,
I once heard this quote
And this quote said
“No matter how hard your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief”
So no matter how fractured you are, you can’t stop going
The world doesn’t stop, so we continue to move with it
So, let me take a moment to get this off of my chest
Verse:
The thought constantly haunts my mind
Of how you up and left me during the darkest of times
I thought when we agreed, I had your back, you had mine
I put my heart on the line, just to get stabbed in the spine
...

Reminiscing (Song)
Verse:
If I could go back, to those early Saturday mornings
Up early, wiping my eyes, stretching and yawning
Praising the most high for seeing another day
I hit the shower, brush my teeth, then wash my face
I admit it that life was simple back then
Good times of eating breakfast with my closest of kin
Going outside to start the day off with friends
Figuring out what’s next, as the adventures begin
Block parties, some bonfires and cookouts
Family reunions, balloon fights at the park site
Staying out watching sunsets were so...

Welcome to the Trench
Intro:
Welcome to the Trench
You know, let me give you a step into my world
My city has a few names, but now we call it the trench
I know you’re wondering why we call it that
But give me a moment to explain that
It’s a meaningful story I’m about to tell
So bare with me me, yeah
Verse:
Let me tell a story, about a small city called the Grip
They used to call it that, but now they now they call it the trench
A metaphor to describe the city as a deep, muddy old ditch
It’s extremely hard to get out of, once you trip and fall...

12AM Food Run
Intro:
SCC
Malik what up?
Yeah, uh
Verse:
It’s 10:56pm and we just left the function
Bad bitches, alcohol, and the club was jumping
4-5 tucked away in case a nigga tried something
Nah I ain’t a killer, but don’t make me up and dump it (back up)
We had just left Fayetteville, cruising back to Griffin
Finna wrap it up after a well-accomplished mission
Dreaming I was cruising in a old school with some vogues
Candy paint shining like gold, off them Lamborghini doors (shining)
Right when I woke up, we...

Love Lost
Intro:
Disappointed I gave you a year’s worth
Thought you were the girl that I needed here on this earth
Invested a lot of time, while overwhelming myself
You left me at the time when I truly needed your help
You didn’t want love, you’re just looking for help
Only thought of yourself, you never cared how I felt
Always putting you first, at the expense of myself
But now it’s time that I grabbed my things and left
Verse:
I admit that you damaged this heart of mine
But it was my fault because I ignored the signs
Love is...

Don’t Lack
Hook:
Make the wrong decision, ain’t no turning back
Hoes out here treacherous, please don’t get attached
Desperate for a come up so they kill each other over scraps
Jealousy is at a high, so pack a strap and don’t lack
Don’t become a target, niggas nowadays be moving sloppy
Some be moving reckless, fucking up the game for everybody
Never let your guard down, never leave the house without it
Once you lose your life, there’s nothing nobody can do about it
Verse:
Just a sane soul living in a crazy world
Please pay attention...

Ain’t A Gangsta (with Movie Malik)
Verse:
Y’all niggas ain’t gangsta, out here lying what you rap about
Claiming you’re a demon, but you still staying at ya Mama’s house
Won’t even help ya Mama out, but wanna take the shooter’s route
Never pulled a trigger, yet you screaming you gone air it out
Without your gang and your gun you look helpless huh?
Whole time you’re soft when they believed you were reckless huh?
You think you a stepper huh? Till you get stepped on
Fucked around and stepped wrong, now your name’s getting repped on
Do you wanna get stepped to?
What...

No Goodbyes (w/ Just.In)
Verse:
Girl please make up your mind
I don't have that much time, yeah
And I really don't know why
You feel so undecided
You really don't have a clue
Really tired of all these silly games
I need to go find someone new
You make me feel so worthless
So my love you don't deserve it
Playing with my feelings on purpose
Me leaving makes you nervous
Should've never gave you a chance
You got me feeling so twisted
And that's the shit I can never stand
Girl please make up your mind
I don't have that much time, yeah
And I really don't know why
You feel so undecided
You really don't have a clue
Really tired of all these silly games
I need to go find someone new
You make me feel so worthless
So my love you don't deserve it
Playing with my feelings on purpose

Never End (w/ Just.In)
Verse:
Me and you are connected like centipedes
The love is ripe and sweeter than cherry leaves
I'm hoping what we got is never-ending
How we started is the way that I'm hoping we finish
Naw baby girl this is just the beginning
On days when I'm drained, you help me replenish
We got secrets and faults we never will mention
I like it how you love when I give you the business
I'm comfortable enough to let my guard down
Around you I can let all of the pain go
True love comes once in a lifetime
You're dope, I'm dope baby...
Me and you are connected like centipedes
The love is ripe and sweeter than cherry leaves
I'm hoping what we got is never-ending
How we started is the way that I'm hoping we finish
Naw baby girl this is just the beginning
On days when I'm drained, you help me replenish
We got secrets and faults we never will mention
I like it how you love when I give you the business
I'm comfortable enough to let my guard down
Around you I can let all of the pain go
True love comes once in a lifetime
You're dope, I'm dope baby...

Betrayal
Hook:
I never turned my back on you
Why did you turn your back on me?
I would have gave my all for you
But I see my loyalty might be the death of me
Thought we would ride to the end
I wonder what made me call you a friend
It's all in the past, too many snakes in the grass
It's only betrayal in the end
Verse:
Chameleons in hiding, just waiting to violate
I kept it too solid, in a world that's filled with fakes
Surrounded by hatred, and I feel there's no escape
Doing what all they can to stop me from being...

Conversational Lush (Song)
Hook:
Where's your conversational lush baby?
I just wanna give you a rush baby
We can keep it all on the hush baby
Let me be the one that you trust baby
I have so many things we can discuss baby
And I have 25 ways of making you blush baby
Hop in the whip, I wanna take a good ride with you
Roll up the weed as I give you something to vibe to
Verse:
I have some things to discuss
Hope I'm not asking too much
Thinking about picking your mind
I know your body's a plus
Our thoughts are like art
While...
