Let's Go

LET’S GO
I’m not a dealer but I stay in the streets
Bringin in cheese, slangin CDs, & bankin my speech
I don’t bang on the keys, but I stay on the beats
Proclaimin the greatest statements ya language has seen
See what I mean it’s heat when putting flame to the green
Then the verses turn to pictures which are painted by me
Only way that ya see, HALUSiN8 in defeat
Is in ya brain as a dream, or as an angel with wings
When I’m layin deceased, in my grave & asleep
Dig up some of the Mother Earth blanket on me
B-B-B-Blaze up ya weed, & then place in ya seeds
& I’ll push up the best bud the planet’s able to breed
I’m able to be, anything I believe
Or anything that my insane brain’ll conceive
So I aim to succeed, & if ya thinkin I’m weak
My strength’ll leave, ‘em faint & fatigued, & make ‘em extinct
HOOK
I don’t feel I get the respect I’m rightfully owed
On the mic when I flow, when my mind’s in a zone
I’m recitin & writin & I’m the tightest you’ve known
So if you want your respect like I do
Let’s Go (Go get it) x4
Let’s Go
On the mic when I flow, when my mind’s in a zone
I’m recitin & writin & I’m the tightest you’ve known
Let’s Go
VS.2
A go getter like Jeezy & Kells
MCing since 12, lyrically I excel
Step in the ring for the belt, soon as they’re ringing the bell
You’ll see ya easily fail, fractured ya knees when ya fell
Fragile feeble & frail, he screamed as he yelled
Inflict a little misery then leave him & bail
All I really need was some weed to inhale
Cuz I’m hot, my anger issues have me heated as hell
They wanna see me in jail, with no chance of release
Like the D.O.C. is my permanent residency
Never and whoever testing & advancing with beef
Will feel the hands of defeat, from their head to their feet
I feast on MCs like delicacies
Munchin on em in the same way Hannibal eats
With cannibal teeth, damn I’m a beast
But you don’t care all y’all do is dance to the beats
HOOK
I don’t feel I get the respect I’m rightfully owed
On the mic when I flow, when my mind’s in a zone
I’m recitin & writin & I’m the tightest you’ve known
So if you want your respect like I do
Let’s Go (Go get it) x4
Let’s Go
On the mic when I flow, when my mind’s in a zone
I’m recitin & writin & I’m the tightest you’ve known
Let’s Go (Go get it) x4
Let’s Go
On the mic when I flow, when my mind’s in a zone
I’m recitin & writin & I’m the tightest you’ve known
Let’s Go

Guess Who's Back
03:59
|
|||
GUESS WHO’S BACK
Ayo I’m back like I never left, because I never did
Which is evident words worshipped like they’re heaven sent
I heard the rumors you won’t hear me say I ever quit
It’s an obsesiveness, set lyrical precedence
Intelligence level better then the Prseident’s
Brain’s lately been a victim of negligence
Sittin’ while I’m stoned smokin’ medicine that’s excellent
So I’m set in stone although I wasn’t definite
Devilish developments to dig outta my deficit
Define what I do to disloyal deceptiveness
Their heads to delicate to ever test my testaments
I’m done fuckin’ around with them like I’m celibate
Last time I was writin’ I was a bit hesitant
Had to get my mind right & straighten up my head a bit
Anything before today is irrelevant
Me myself & I were beefin’ but we settled it
Degenerates never get where I ever went
Just stand like a plant on the land of a settlement
He bitin’ rhymes, tryin’ to say he sampled it
Lyin’ like he gon’ light the night don’t even have a candle lit
Be damned if a friend can’t switch to a nemesis
My response scandalous oh so slanderous
Syllable specialist wretchedness in messages
& I could take ‘em out without leavin’ a shred of evidence
My flow’s my own psychoanalyst
My me mine I define selfishness
Giving the optimistic thoughts of a pessimist
Can open up ya brain waves & change what your perception is
Guess who’s bizack/ Back on the track with the flows
Cuz this rap shit is all I know
Don’t make me relapse/ Back to attackin’ my foes
Like the beef shit is all I know
From the womb to the tomb, the music consumed
Affects what I do how I move & my mood
I’m outta this world when influencin’ tunes
Son I sit with the stars when I shoot for the moon
It’s a waste to educate you foolish dudes
That are stuck on stupid glued to the tube
With the smoothest grooves, give my views & news
Ya better flame proof the booth when I prove the truth
That you are screwed but without the bad sex
You’re threw like a pass in the past tense
Run and pass them, while puffin’ fat grams
Exposin’ head depths like public CAT scans
Spit with accents & with drawls
Give y’all the raw when it’s gone you’ll withdraw
Them hoes can go commando or with draws
Pencil pen skill which writes which draws
Both do both so multidimensional
Over instrumentals riddles told which are trivial
Poetry invincible, spoken so descriptive it is visible
I cure your cataract smokin’ medicinal
So egotistical, cockiest of confidence
Authoring melodic thoughts Hip Hop columnist
I will serve the meal with dessert & all the condiments
If you taste my fresh breath prophylactic condom mints
See I’m just talkin’ shit, & takin’ one on you
Breakin’ all you do, as I’m takin’ all your due
Stop ya talkin dude like a prostitute
With a cock or 2 locked into her dirty bronchial tube
Early rendezvous sonic boom with the chronic
Wake & bakin’ the toxic, jumpin’ subjects & topics
My logic, ironically is locked in a closet
My optics, are locked on what ya got in ya pocket
I’m a profitless prophet, feeling forgotten
While often awful thoughts are filling my noggin
I take ‘em out on my foes as I stop ‘em & halt ‘em
Knock ‘em down to the ground then stomp ‘em for fallin’
Leave ya achin’ in pain layin’ sittin’ or walkin’
Consider N8 a younger age Christopher Walken
If you crossin’ the boss, it’s a war & you lost it
I’ll drain you & make you sink like a faucet
Guess who’s bizack/ Back on the track with the flows
Cuz this rap shit is all I know
Don’t make me relapse/ Back to attackin’ my foes
Like the beef shit is all I know

THE CORNER
Memories on corners back HOME long aGO

so potent when you toke it’s like elBOWS to the THROAT
we ciphered with rhymes so DOPE when they FLOW
that you could look around & know someone’s GOing to BLOW
now I stay in a state where it’s COLD and it SNOWS
& the bodies stays froze from their NOSE to their TOES
i been up & down the roads now I’m OVER it THO
i know it’s not where you're from it’s where ya HOping to GO
with haters on the way stones are THROWN at the THRONE
when you rolling how they only could be HOping to CLONE
words WROTE in a POEM, then SPOKE in a TONE
2 leave ‘em COLD in their BONES, like they're STONED and had FLOWN
you're born & the corner gonna MOLD how ya GROW
so quit caring what it is ya little HOMies conDONE
cuz when it pops off dog, you all OWN your OWN

Dead Or Alive
02:37
|

DEAD OR ALIVE
VERSE 1…
Bring him in Dead Or Alive, with lead that’ll fly, from a tech or a 9,
Pistols which’ll spit like missiles split ya from your head 2 your spine
Got ‘em 2 holler, robbin’ the dollars, off them guys that’s peddling dimes
Take ya watch, make ya watch, gon’ sock cold cock ya
Guess that means I’m ahead of my time
Never ya mind, 2 clever with mine
On a level 2 high 4 ya ever 2 find
2 hot, with the thoughts, that I got, when I drop ‘em
Oh my God the devil could fry
Heavenly lines, intelligent rhymes, bars so sharp they sever a knife
Boo & then moving in, ruin him, doing it soon as I view you better your life
Why do you try 2 contest with the best
Make a mess of your flesh, better rest in your nest
You dirty birds are vermin worms, yes I says most prevalent pests
Never the less you never could guess
Better cut the check, not checkers it’s chess
I spar & scar & harm your heart, even with a bulletproof vest on your chest
VERSE 2…
Breathing is ceasing to be in beings that’s beefing with me when we’re meeting, meaning he’s R.I.P.ing in pieces
We leave him weak & defeated depleted leaking & bleeding & beaten desperately reaching for Jesus
We see him screaming & pleading while his people are weeping
He’s feeble, anemic, seated with evil behemoths & heathens
Even ya kingdom is sinking
I’m leading a legion of demons
Impending a peaceful allegiance
Feeding ‘em a lethal extinction
Ya see, this guy gotta be sick
Speaking with rhymes on the beef tip
Spit raps which happen 2 give bad whiplash real fast
Kiss ass like you trying 2 eat shit
He lives? That’s luck, Cuz whether dead or alive he’s doomed.
My likely view is I see you, inside the room, of the I.C.U

OTIS ft. Jaylz
N8…
Abracadabra rap attacks are magical
Gradually fanatical, casually a natural
Infallible battles are tactical
As actual & factual grammatical classical
A rabid animal, biting 2 kill
Write out ya will, strike like lightning would feel
Outside in a field when ya high on a hill
You’re unlikely to heal when I’m high on a pill
JAYLZ…
So I fire at will, I’m dismissing the fake
Go 2 war like Sparta for this Michigan state
Wolverine til I die tho miss me with hate
No revisions 2 make, my precision is great
All my cuts go smooth my incisions are straight
Throwing disses this way would be your biggest mistake
Like I spied on top of the drebwvkbru
If you wanna hear a vicious display listen to Nate, yo
N8…
Soon as you hearing this, stay & listen pay attention
Smooth lyricists make you wish you paid admission
Dude it’s serious, game is given N8 is spitting
Paint a picture, mainly written 2 hallucinate a vision
Wait a minute, erasing fakes & fable gimmicks
I may admit it, & maybe say the anger did it
I went back & forth 2 jail while staying in prison
Now I’m back & forth with Jaylz we remain on a mission
JAYLZ…
All while remaining efficient, no gain is sufficient
I’m blaming all you lames for the tainted condition
That the games is in my aim is in your lane with precision
You’ll get maimed in a collision like a train hit a pigeon
Now I ain’t playing with you bitches or your brainless decisions
Time to make a revision
Cuz truthfully the more that I hear I’m horrified mortified
Horse shit glorified now just hallucinate before your eyes
N8…
& of course the lines of metaphorical rhymes
Will point a forward sign to more fortunate times
I paused. 2 explore my mind
Now I feel more like an immortal type
I don’t type I write but I’m the type to right your wrong
When I rewrite your song
Gone off the King Kong Cheech & Chong weed bong
Cuz this should've been a Nate & Jaylz beat all along, am I wrong
JAYLZ…
No you’re right again that’s just the condition that my psyche’s been
Even tho my life has been
Something like a spin cycle likely from the vicodin
Lacing up my Nike’s & I’m stepping to the mic again
Don’t care if my paper’s low I just orchestrate the flow
& head straight home homie busy watching Mason grow
Might seem quite abrasive but embarrass it & just face it
While you chasing all these basic hoes I stay just letting greatness show.
Nate let’s go
HALUSiN8 let’s go

ALL THAT I NEED
There’s a big difference between a want & a need
Some wants are just lust, nothing but greed
Sometimes you don’t even want what you need
Melody: All that I Need), is 2 be with my family
& 2 happily have us be at peace, with no tragedies
All That I Need, is 2 see in reality
That I rapidly have a dramatic increase in salary
All That I Need, is 2 get up my pay
Let nothing get in my way, forget 2 give up 2day
All That I Need, is quit sitting in a daze
All day in a haze, as I’m withering away
All That I Need, is 2 start 2 go harder
A father, the armor for my kindergartener
All That I Need, is 2 take a step farther, grow larger
Stay on point like an archer, but sharper
All That I Need, is 2 cherish my kids
Cuz life is tough so we prepare em 4 this
All That I Need, is 2 find a way
I can make sure they're safe all night & day
All That I Need, is reacquaint with my daughter
Every time we get close, she gets ghost, she’s a goner
All That I Need, is do away with her momma
4 causing us both this seperational trauma
All That I Need, is do away with the drama
I’m 2 old 4 all your nonsense & gossiping persona
All That I Need, is 2 break out of my depression
Stay away from all the stress & see that everyday’s a lesson
All That I Need, is 2 quit with my addictions
Like the often liquor sipping, & the popping of prescriptions
All That I Need, is a little bit of weed 2 relax
& 2 spark the creativity match
All That I Need, is take control of my temper
If I lose it it’s usually loved ones that i injure
All That I Need, is treat my wifey like a queen
Without her I would die the meet with the Reeper would convene
All That I Need, is give my kids a good childhood
Pick ‘em up when they're down & show ‘em positive outlooks
All That I Need, is 2 get my money up
So I’m able 2 give my kids whatever they want
All That I Need, is 2 go after my dreams
Secondary, primarily is go after the cheese
All That I Need, is turn dreams into goals
As their’s steam in my soul, 4 me 2 reach 4 the gold
All That I Need, is 2 get paid 4 my passion
Producing or promoting or creating or rapping
All That I Need, is 2 get back into shape
Feel like I’ve rapidly raced past my actual age
All That I Need, is loved ones good health
Lend a hand when I can if I could help
All That I Need, is 2 stay outta jail
& 2 break outta my shell, can’t think of how 2 fail
All That I Need, is 2 go over & beyond
Any levels or standards that you holding me upon
All That I Need, is pick up my work ethic
fix up my hurt credit, raise the pay I earn dammit
All That I Need, is 2 actually see
I want cheese, so what I want, my family needs
All That I Need, is 2 be the man that I know I can
I over plan, they under while I overstand
All That I Need, is 2 live 4 today
plan 4 tomorrow & learn from yesterday
All That I Need, is make the best of my presence
Today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present

ME & MY GIRLFRIEND
CHORUS:
2PAC:
All I need in this life of sin
Is me and my girlfriend
Down 2 ride, to the bloody end
Just me and my girlfriend
JAY-Z:
All I need in this life of sin
Is me and my girlfriend
BEYONCE:
Down 2 ride, to the very end
Just me and my boyfriend
VERSE 1:
HALUSiN8:
She’s much more then a girlfriend, she’s my person
We’ve determined / that’s completely certain
I meant 4 her & she’s meant 4 me
Hers are mine & mine are her enemies
Most usually / my beauty queen
Has nothing in the world she won’t do 4 me
So I take every single opportunity
2 make her happy as she should truly be
The only 1 I’ve seen that I completely trust
I know it’s me she lust / with her pleasing touch
Plus with so much & so many nicknames
It means someone’s mad if we’re called our real names
She’s been there 4 the wins, & 4 the losses
When I’m broke & when I’m sittin in the circle of bosses
Without her I’m a downer, only half a being
& when she’s gone my heart is only half way beating.

VERSE 2:
HALUSiN8:
She’s much more then a girlfriend, more then a wife
She’s my soulmate, my partner, the love of my life
My best friend, my lover / my children’s mother
She led my family in to say goodbye to my brother
There could, be no other, no way no how
She has my back when bad things go down
What we’ve been thru, would take most out
& it almost did but we stay close now
Tighter then ever ready 2 weather the storm
Seeing 1 of us without the other’s never the norm
I tell the fellas, my lady, is better then yours
I tell her what’s yours is mine & what’s mine is mine
Ha ha, never mind I’m just playing again
Til death do us part, only way that we’ll end
My trust for her, I would rank it a 10
I even gave her the pin, 2 my ATM
All access, even keys & the passwords
So she got what I got, & nothing gets passed her
Nobody’s perfect, we do have a past sure
But now we’re seeing much greener pastures
The past has passed, in the present we plan
For a future, 4ever, where we’re hand in hand
2gether, how we will, 4ever stand
As she makes me wanna be a better man
The night I almost died, she lied
Right by my side, said it’ll be alright
& she was right, when I seen the light
& started talkin 2 God, she squeezed me tight
A near perfect person, never really does wrong
Should get a whole album, not just 1 song
From dusk 2 dawn, the love is strong
& she’s at home waitin 4 me, so peace I’m gone.
Til the day this world ends
All that I need is me and my girlfriend
My head is a whirlwind
But all I need is me and my girlfriend

NEW DAY ft. Falah
FALAH
(To whom it may concern)
This my promise….
To never let my child go through his life without no guidance
Even if you were born and it wasn’t the best timin
Id be there to hold your birth certificate and proudly sign it
When I look at mine, every time im reminded
That my father took a piece of me & left me here to find it
Mom & him hooked up & then he started nuttin
Left me & her here with nothin
No excuse I can make in this whole entire world
For why im not there to provide for my little boy or girl
And there’s 2 ways I can go, follow down my dad’s path
Or give my child 10 times more love than I had
I’ll drive you to your first day of school
And you know you’ll get a whoopin from Pops if you ever break the rules
I’ll try to make it to your games
And be the loudest proudest parent in the whole entire stands
I’ll probably cry when you graduate
This music thing aside everything else gon’ have to wait
Walk across the stage I’ll reminisce when we played patty cake
Then throw a party after look at you & your dad’ll say
I know you’re off to college & there’s crazy things you’ll do
Whether a hook up or your married or even if its your boo
Find out a kid is on the way, you thinkin what to do
Promise you’ll be a better parent than I was to you
HALUSiN8
(I hear ya man, & when you do become a Dad, cherish the time you have,
No lie the time goes by to fast)
I solemnly promise/ to always be honest
Listen to & assist you with your problems
That can be a problem, cause it’s a thin line
Between telling them the truth & protecting young minds
But I never lied/ when I looked in your eyes
& said I’d give my life to help you survive
I’ve lost my mind/ cause right in my sights
You were babies yesterday & grew up overnight
You were all so small/ now you’re all so tall
Went from diapers & dolls/ to overnights and phone calls
Killed a spider on the wall & thought I was buggin
Til I noticed now they barely let me hug `em in public
So I cherish the rare times we snuggle & cuddle
Toss the ball, chalk the sidewalk, & blow bubbles
I wish everyday that we have was doubled
But with the time we do have I’ll steady your stumbles
Help handle your fumbles/ your struggles & tumbles
& if the sky crumbles/ I’ll funnel the rumble
The world can be wonderful, but also a jungle
So it’s my job to teach you to solve your own troubles
Piece your own puzzles, & be your own person
But each day closer to that my heart’s hurtin
No matter where you go or what you do in this world
You’ll always be my princesses, my baby girls
Mase you may not have the same blood I do
But in a way that raises my love for you
If it weren’t for each other, we’d both have a void
You with no father, me with no boy
I never told you this, but tears came to my eyes
1st time you called me Daddy, It was just you & I
Wrestlin, you laughed smiled at me and said Daddy
Grinnin ear to ear, drippin tears, I shook my head gladly
(Yeah yeah I shook my head gladly/ cause all I ever need or want to be is Daddy)
(Yeah yeah I shook my head gladly/ cause all I ever need or want to be is Daddy)

DRIVE SLOW ft. Shai & Ceaser Romero
N8...
A DUI in 99, drunk high on a ride
Til the swine got behind & brightened his lights
Bright blue swirls as we came a the curve
Miss the turn hit the curb & from there it’s a blur
I was ok but after courts & the jail
The state kept my car to part it torch it & sell
What the hell now eligible to get Ls
& still do lose boo took another L
Cuz then I found out to get my Ls back
I gotta serve 6 warrants & pay em 8 stacks
Fuck that just gimme the keys
As I recline to the side pimp riding the streets
I’ve had a couple whips since they stripped my Ls
& always drove like I know the pigs could tell
When they ride right by staring like they can’t stand me
Which is why I drive like a 99 year old granny
Seat belt locked fully coming to stops
Both hands on the wheel at 10 & 2 o’clock
I’m like an instructor for the DMV
Don’t make 1 move illegally
Increasingly do it frequently
Feel at ease when I see peeps seized on streets
I ain’t lying if I’m driving I like seeing the cops
At least then I know they’re not hiding right around the block
I’ve been caught then locked then tossed in a box
So they could rob more gwap that I don't even got
So keep a low pro drive slow is the plot
Which is much easier to do smoking some pot
So just blend in don't attract attention
Cuz we’re the outlaws & they’re the henchmen
How a cop gonna lock me up in a detention
For driving just to get my kids prescription It’s twisted

Man I just caught a federal charge
& found out they wanna leave me dead behind bars
Me & my girl broke up, dammit it’s hard
But I had 2 leave the love wasn’t there in my heart
Normally this is the shit that would tear me apart
But now I’m asking everybody where the lesbians are
Yeah I’m single so I’m keeping both my testicles charged
Come & tickle my pickle & make my vegetable hard
Yeah I laugh like hardy har
Even tho life’s so damn hard its scars
I feel down, like I’m real far from stars
But the kid keeps kicking like martial arts
But, you get beat up enough & you won’t ever get up
Ya give up the shit sucks but it’s just
That I got a high demand & a need for big bucks
So now I’m plotting on a way 2 get away with stick ups
If just 2 get by, inside of this mind
Is quite a bit fried I wish I did fine
I stay high with a bottle near by
That’s why the other night I had 2 let the tears fly
Started crying like a baby, right beside of my lady
Dammit all the stress makes me think my mind’s crazy
Maybe, but hey I think I’m seeing a light
When it shines in my mind who I need in my life
Now back with her, I’m breathing a sigh
Like all the drama in our life is what we’re leaving behind
With the most beautiful eyes that I’m seeing inside
& when I’m down she picks me up so I believe I can fly
Tho I know what goes up has 2 come down
Whoa slow hold up now. Calm down
I can’t help it when every time that she comes ‘round
I smile, while before that I was all frowns
Now I relax with that on my head
But that passes with drastic harassment from feds
I’ve dealt with local yokel cops a lot
But now the feds got my head on the chopping block
I’ve gone thru a lot of trials & tribulations
But this shit is a new situation
Plus people start beef, keep insinuating
Making fabrications, so that Nathan’s hated
It’s OK I’ll take it, rearrange reshape it
Clothe myself in it then strip you naked
Don’t misconstrue or even miss the statements
& twist what I say into an instigation
Misinformation with no verification
Is just a tall tale like gossip narration
I’m sick slick & quick with the flow
& if you don’t know what I mean then your attention is low

TROUBLE ft. Shai & Falah
N8...
If you're not looking 4 trouble maybe trouble’s looking 4 U
Pursuing to ruin & to crumble the good U do
Shuffle the foot ya move, with puzzling looking views
So ya lost without a clue wondering what to do
Stuck & couldn’t move like a rat in a maze
Bad habits engaged, in average ways
Have me mad & enraged, like my battling days
So I shake ‘em up baby yeah rattling brains
Slap to ya face, before ya ever step to this
Ya better get an ambulance, & excellent evangelist
Wordplay is effortless, deranged perfectionist
Never less than the best when blessing testaments
Yes this is that bastard named Nate
Whose brain waves may spray slay & maim lames
Hey hey make way & call for may day
Cuz with my crew it’s fuck U call it a gang bang
((Cuz we’re bringing you trouble))
Extra extra read all about it
See how most of these MCs ain’t really bout the
Things they're claiming they're faking I hate it
Cuz if Nathan say it, guaranteed the statement
Is something you can stand by, Yes I’m
So damn high, it’s like I got permanent red eye
Puff a blunt of chronic reading Art of War chronicles
Articles got thoughts plotting diabolical
Dodging philosophical obstacles
Admit it when I spit it tell the judge I'm not responsible
I say I wanna peace a beef & call an audible
When I get outta jail you'll be getting out the hospital.
Now that’s trouble

LUCIFER
I sold my soul as collateral, while searching 4 capital
So I need to switch my attitude, ‘fore they wonder what happened 2 him
V1…
Lord forgive me, I sense evil forces in me
I try to force & empty ‘em from my core within me
Of course there’s plenty I’m half God half devil
Soul half trampled vandal’d head scrambled
Arm Leg Leg Arm Head been torn
Scorned from cold wars which were overly warm
So it’s snowing in Hades the minute I’m perfect
While my demonic persona’s frostbit from these verses
I decide right or wrong, good versus the evil
But that’s if I feel strong I’m hurting or feeble
I could be lethal deceitful or peaceful
Choose a diseased needle or cathedral church steeple
I’m not gassing you up, this is deeper it’s diesel
Cuz when it’s all over there no reds or sequels
You are your own person outta billions of people
So you decide if you’ll be a beetle or eagle
Feel me?
I sold my soul as collateral, while searching 4 capital
So I need to switch my attitude, ‘fore they wonder what happened 2 him
V2…
Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
If that acronym is accurate I’m actually cursed
Bible in my right hand, Quran in my left
Committing every sin on my wish list that’s left
I read Sodom & Gomorah while I sodomized a whore
& tho I traumatized her form, at least I copywrite the porn
At this rate when I die my pine box will have fell
666 feet past Hell’s last realm
Grab the helm, & change the direction
Time 2 make a selection, life road intersection
Do we follow the rough road that goes 2 a mansion
Or head down easy street that leads nowhere pleasant
I make my life’s choices, based on my mind’s voices
& when we don’t agree, actually I enjoy it
Cuz that’s when I find that fella 2 help
My worst enemy’s the best one 2 better myself
I sold my soul as collateral, while searching 4 capital
So I need to switch my attitude, ‘fore they wonder what happened 2 him

NO CHURCH ft. B Jenkins
V.1…
They say 2 nonbelievers you need 2 have faith
But what if the faith you once maintained’s erased
I was raised in the south, the Bible belt
Whole family believes shit that I ain’t felt
In a really long time, it’s how they got by
When my brother died & I watched my Mom cry
Screaming for Jesus, I seen that she needs it
I found myself wishing I knew if I believed it
Of all the religions on Earth
2 say that only 1’s right & all the rest are cursed
2 burn in an eternal fire in Hell
Lead me not to temptation I’ll find it myself
While I roll an L with the Bible’s papers
Wish I knew if there was truly a savior
2 many questions, no definite answers
Can cause an unmeasured spiritual pressure
But thanks for the gesture.
V.2…
No one knows 4 sure which religion is right
So I take pieces of all 2 make up my own mind
Mom called & said I should go 2 church
I could tell in her tone when I said no it hurt
I’m spiritual, but I’m not religious
& honestly I feel most of it is fictitious
No way 1 man took 1 piece of bread
With that one 10,000 people were fed
Thru thousands of years and across many nations
Stories get twisted with exaggerations
I’m mindful of phrases the pages hold
They can guide & inspire & make you whole
Due to the hurt we been thru in the past
I live by the phrase this 2 shall pass
Judge not least ye be judged
But many Christians are judgmental with a grudge
Closed mind won’t budge
V.3…
Catholic Baptist Jewish
Christian Muslim Buddhist
Mormon Atheist Pagan Satanist
Pass the collection plate, everyone is paying this
People give offerings they can’t afford
While the priest is in a mansion & drives a Porsche
That’s neither here nor there when I say my prayers
2 my higher power, my soul’s repaired
I could see Jesus reading a Quran
& Allah with a Bible but you think that’s wrong
2 even put in a song, y’alls minds are closed
While mine is open, 3rd eye is zoned
We could talk about the universe, the meaning of life
Don’t come at me preaching your religion is right
We could talk about the universe, the meaning of life
Don’t come at me preaching your religion is right

WHAT DO U DO
V.1
Sometimes I feel up sometimes I’m down
Sometimes I’m smile, usually I frown
Sometimes I’m alone when everyone’s around
By myself yet surrounded by a crowd
That I wish would disperse, hurry up & bounce
S I can wallow in my sorrows as tears come out
Doused in pounds that could flood a town
& I can swim but still I would rather drown, cuz
The pain is 2 much 2 bare
I swear there’s no reason 2 hope or care
Ya tell a pessimist 2 keep his head, compared
That be like an atheist that’s saying his prayers
See that shit just ain’t happening
Like I said when asked if i would rap again
Now I’m back at it weed beats pad & pen
Only skill I really have is by accident & so tell me
Chorus x 2…
So tell me…..
What Do U Do when everyone’s depending on U
& the only skill U really have is thru
Do you give up?
No you get up.
Well but than what?
V.2
Honestly, I love recording my voice
But a career in Hip Hop is a horrible choice
There’s 2 many rappers, & most of ‘em suck
Plus, they're all biting each other’s stuff
It’s a fatality 2 real originality it’s sad 2 me
Cuz half of these wack MCs are straight garbage
Sound like they talk with a mouth full of carcass
Half lethargic, full retarded, don’t get me started
Well damn, I guess that I already am
Examine the fact that the raps of today are a shame
All they are is a beat 2 get the dance floor slammed, then
The vocalist are verbally fumbling
Words that he’s mumbling belong in a muzzle &
Up under a muffler, so no-one can hear him
& realize real rhymes are disappearing
It’s sad
Chorus x 2
V.3
It seems like I put all my eggs in 1 basket
& crashed it staggering thru pack traffic
An addict with bad habits, I’ve had it
Cuz now I see my dreams asleep in caskets
I coulda had it all, life coulda been a ball
But nope I chose anger & alcohol
Thought I was all that, fast 2 brawl
But put myself in a position where I had 2 fall
Lotta adderal vicodin & klonopin
But not a mic not a beat no pad & not a pin
Used 2 be a cocky kid, loved 2 talk a lot of shit
But now I feel like I got not a bit of confidence
All of this nonsense fits together
By the standard success is measured
I way 2 clever, shoulda done better
Man shoulda coulda woulda, fuck it, whatever
But tell me
Chorus x 2

LET THERE BE LIGHT
Let there be light
There’s no need for all the drama & the beef tonight
There’s strength in numbers if we unite
Til we’re all living lavish & eating right. Right?
Verse.1
A scatterbrain, having massive pain
Felt like my head was pelted with acid rain
I’m trying to forget it put the past away
Say goodbye to yesterday like it passed away
Just keep it in my memory with lessons learned
As I’m striving to find a check to earn
Snakes in the grass have less respect then worms
They’ll do ya so dirty that they’re infecting germs
With hectic nerves, I dissect a verse
As soon as I get on the mic injecting words
Heads get turned, as they beg to learn
Yes sir, damn sure, best ya ever heard
But I was never worth, what my talent amounted to
To much feeling down with a frown & I’m pouting to
I teach what was taught it’s all I know how to do
Take my advice make those surrounding you proud of you, & then
HOOK x 2
Verse.2
Those with fears open ears as I school `em
On some real shit I ain’t trying to fool `em
Pulling in knowledge at the same time I give it
Trying to live it, like I could never forget it
Keeping in mind where I been & in my eye where I’m going
Hoping that what my dome is holding is perpetually growing
Nate demands for his brain expansion
To grow from a home to the greatest mansion
And then some, to gain & take in all that I can
So my dreams do seem to fall into plan
You try to stop or pause or alter the plan
Then I’ma smack you in the mouth & tell you talk to the hand
Cuz the only one that can stop me is me
Lounging lazy or living life illegally
Or I cease to be, believing in me
When my confidence drops, self-esteem depletes
The creativity in me must be released
In order to grow expand & increase
Both in where it’s going & with how much I’m holding
Or it’ll be decaying & decomposing
See me composing the words of a poet
I disperse & expose in a verse that I’m flowing
Cursed with the notion, that I have mad talent
When I rap ballads, with truth that’s valid
It’s so sad that most of these guys rhymes
Are false talk, they all lie when they write lines
With blind eyes, fans buy into it
I’m trying to open minds, cuz I’m intrusive
My rhymes & music have a couple different meanings
In one way what I say is I’m never leaving
But at the same time, same rhyme, & I’m fleeing
All without changing one way that I’m speaking.
Ya see it?
HOOK x 2
