Buried the hatchets with various rappers /

All bad - none of these thoughts up in my ball cap /
gone black, hollywood hills without a star map /

Always been a Weirdo //
I always been a Weirdo hey hey //

So i aint never carin' what they say say //
I always been a Weirdo....
The cool kids never hit back /
Just to chit chat / shit - illy picked last /
But I been in my bedroom sangin /
Standing room only, shitta get too bangin /
Im a eyes closed, hover off the ground type rapper /
ears closed, come up with a sound type rapper /
Mind open comin through ya town type rapper /
put it down come uphrough the crowd type rapper /
I rep for the island of misfit toys /
Of outkast girls and of reject boys /
Burned and man, how long have we been boys /
I heard the rumble from the west and the east end noise /
But I aint listenin' my music is high /
And dudes gonna try to shake my focus but its glued to the sky /
And before you say it, im completely aware /
Im not sleepin on myself, these kind of people are rare /
Always been a Weirdo //
I always been a Weirdo hey hey //
I could see it clear tho //
So i aint never carin' what they say say //
I always been a Weirdo....
The cool kids gave me no love /
Till I growd up / and then they showed up /
And I been on the big stage rockin /
10,000 people / got these big days poppin /
illy kick with uncle prem / Im buildin up some steam
Im backstage with Play / we biggin up the scene /
Livin' it like its slippin away /
Cause really it is, only get a kick at today /
Im a hover off the earth type human /
Ears closed, love is comin first type human /
Vibes open, worst come to worst type human /
You can crash on my couch till it works type human /
I am just an underdog, going into overtime /
I have just been runnin hard, going into overdrive /
- And when the drummin start, illy feelin so alive /
Even when Im done and gone, itll feel like noone dies /
And before you say it, im completely aware /
Im not sleepin on myself, these kind of people are rare /

Im wettin the blunt, light it and Im ready to run /
- Shit I slepped in, it's like twenty to 1 /
Jus' roll another I aint gettin it done /

Right here in my bed, Imma roll up just a little smoke/
They say wake up and bake up, How late did I stay up?/
Chase all this paper then roll up with papers/
Imma ride this wave, I don't know where it'll take us/
Head in the clouds and my eyes shooting lazers/ (oh)
My mind stay strong even when my day ones change up/
Say what? Man you tryna blaze up? 9AM, you hang up, you go and light the J up/
And that's okay/ I'm vibing out in my own place/
I got Man on the Moon playing in the backdrop on my laptop/
Mind in a haze, getting blazed from a fat one/

Macklemore (Mackapella)
01:43
|
|||
With white cops killin blacks galore /
and acts of war, hacked till the axis sore /
-- and Politicians goin back and forth /
with lies upon lies in the back a court /
-- broke ass with a wack support /
-- find the truth and attack the source /
all this shit finna crack the force /
But everybody mad at Macklemore
Where ryan at, nobody mad bout how he rides the pads /
He drives a jag, mad too polite to brag /
but lifes a drag, you could bite the bag /
He tried to help, it got em twice as mad /
Sweatshops makin reebok shoe /
And gunshots at a Tdot school /
or KDOT even though he deepok true /
Never dealt as much damage
as a screenshot do /
He sang thrift shop, why we mad like he killed pac? /
I dont even fucks with it like that, but its Hip Hop /
Let a man live, any man any tax bracket /
Any colour, any city, any bad habits /
Where's the real moments we are scared to feel? /
Why we celebrating violence while we wait to heal? /
Why we blaming entertainers who dont fight in our place? /
While we simply let our leaders fuckin lie to our face /
But this not like me. things dont phaze me /
If illy get political, shit must be crazy
...damn.

And word to wifey, save my life and still be gettin me through /

I dont wanna have the last laugh /
If it means it was my last laugh /
Im livin like a fool /
And everything is cool /
Im chillin with a crew /

If you peaceful I will pass that /
Im livin like a fool /
And everything is cool /
Im tellin em the true /
I been thinkin it through /
and Im past that /
Its all love in my inner circle /
We like some ninja turtles /

tryna live and learn, now the kid eternal /
Music got me cheaper weed /
these CDs and lean cuisine /
A free sleeman,
a few women and weak esteem /
The dude livin, its too vivid the shades on /
If 250, is too shifty the pays wrong /
Who's with me, the crew sent me to blaze on /
Thats that old school hustle I was raised on /
Im on a smaller wave, cause I jus smile and wave /
Well thats ok, I was happy if I die today /
Well thats okay-ay....
.... I was happy if I die today /
It's all love on the outer limits /
I live a mile a minute /
So I'll be by in a moment /
Tourin Im bout Im bidness /
Im Al Mcinnis - the flames fire my goals /
Im Cali livin, my brains high as it goes /
Im workin till Im sweatin my frames slide down my nose /
My eye stay on the prize, I aint tryna impose /
Ear to ear smilin, I been flyin the globe /
The kid high as a kite, I been tryin to blow /
ya dude livin is dreams and tryna stay strong /
You heard the tunes, I lived the life that they was based on /
Same song, but the pain in ya face gone /
That's that old school passion I was raised on /

|

Drivin down that highway 1 /
I can feel the vibration /
I aint slept in 5 days /
Mind is goin side ways /
Ride into the rising sun /
This is for the homies that'a break /
Life is gettin harder, tell 'em hope is on the way /
close ya eyes - you floatin on a lake /
illy got the sail, chillin smokin in the wake /
And when they askin, we aint focused on the hate /
Emptying the closet on em, openin the safe /
And check the intro how Im openin the tape /
& Everyone surprised cause a local isnt Drake /
They confused cause Im not about the street cred /
Its not real, so an awful lot of beef dead /
Make me laugh all this he said / she said /
"My dog showed a screenshot thata reach heads" /
Im goin over & polishing my awards /
& makin space for more. regardless of my applause /
I make music cause I dont know how to not do it /
Voice is in my head, all I know to do is talk to it /
Drivin down that highway 1 /
I can feel the vibration /
I aint slept in 5 days /
Mind is goin side ways /
Ride into the rising sun /
x2
Do you like music / (of course you)
Do you like weed / (haha)
Do you like humans/ (shiiit)
Well Then you're like me /
Im not impressed with your bad ass, willin to drop gloves /
When illy in the buildin the feelin is all love /
Thats - just what winning and pot does /
Cause I caught I buzz, Im feelin like pac was /
Dont stress, not comparin me to him /
I won't flex, Its apparently a sin /
I make music cause I dont know how to not do it /
Voice is in my head, all I know to do is talk to it /
Drivin down that highway 1 /
I can feel the vibration /
I aint slept in 5 days /
Mind is goin side ways /
Ride into the rising sun /
x2
Do you love music /
Do you love trees /
Do you love humans /

Slow Down
04:21
|
|||
I been livin in the fast lane ridin the line /
See I put that on my last name, Vibes are fine /
Feelin like the gods or gone /
Im kinda feelin like the last one on /
Slow down
Life is a miracle, no doubt
x2
I am just one character /
-- in a dream gone black tryna bring it back like America /
But that was barely us / I used my alias /
Way past the barriers, went back to where Barrie is /
Pops like there he is, its been a millionn /
And wow these kids gettin big while uncle illy gone /
And i can feel it all - with every sacrifice /
But I didnt make the rules and life doesnt happen twice /
They dont let no accolades up in the afterlife /
Yo Im preppin for a brexit and Im packin light /
Take that midnight train, word to gladys knight /
Shit, I had a madder life full of bad advice /
Closed my eyes, is better than advertised /
The Smoke rises through echos of sad goodbyes /
No sound, soul feel like a ghost town /
Lay my head in her lap and let it....
HOOK
My whole life livin slow mo /
I kinda like when its slow mo /
My whole life I been solo /
You get so high, when you so low /
My whole life livin slow mo /
I kinda like when its slow mo /
My whole life I been solo /
You get so high, when you so low /
Slow down
Life is a miracle, no doubt
I been livin in the fast lane ridin the line /
See I put that on my last name, Vibes are fine /
Feelin like the gods or gone /
Im kinda feelin like the last one on /
Slow down
Life is a miracle, no doubt

I aint messin with a bad chick no no no /
But I wonder where the good ones go /
I aint flexin with no ratchet ho oh oh /

That thing Lauryn Hill and Im Nat King /

Basking in the grass, grabbin the brass ring /
You just doin whatever, doin ya damn thing /
Still you bad - but you bad how its good /
Got me talkin like Khaled, hope thats understood /
Cloth of a boss, and you brag when you should /
Humble but you ready with a bag of the good /
much hotter - a real girl on some grown shit /
on her money, got many ready to own shit /
Her own shit, she been grindin since 06
Im In the palm of her hand, high on a drone trip /
And I aint mad at anybodys thing tho /
Im lookin for that need to buy a ring tho /
I seen alot of dimes with a nickel soul /
Im tryna find a dollar, shit is different tho /

03:46
|
|||
You dont find out that you're unstoppable /
Until they try to stop you, can't stop me like I am rock n roll /
They came for me - They put the game on me /
They poured the gasoline, and put the flame on me /
A man of virtue / they plan to hurt you / the planet heard you /
Verse 2 and when the words true, what I can is work through /
Feelin like the sun might set /
Silly we got one life left / and I need that /

Until they try to break you, can't break me like I am Paid In Full /

They tryna find me, then blindly jus put they gun on me /
In random circles the mandem murmers bouts mans that murders /

Feelin like the one night set /
Still Im tryna bun my sess / and I need that /

This is the vibe, tryna keep the mystery live /
so when Im landin in France then Im gettin the high /
I kinda feel a little different inside /
As Im steppin off the plane put my business aside /
I had lunch in Rome, Im feelin like a beast /
Wheels up and Im gone, eatin dinner out in Nice /
Drive down the coast, Vibes on the most /
Cannes is like Paradise but even nicer close /
Team is on the terrace, we keep it nice and close /
Sippin on the scotch, ice up in the coke /
Trippin while I watch the sun settin over rooftops /
Too shocked, time to double down on these new stocks /
The booze pops - jus a secco bottle pass around /
Coach Gibson, the host sip it then pass it down /
Grab a beer, everybody welcome thats the atmosphere /
In fact it's clear this the love hater rappers fear /
King shit / Cavaliers / Ring shit, track of tears /
Palm trees, sunshine and hashish what happened here /
Everynight a different show / as fuckin high as it could go /
Team is on that team work, runnin plays like pick and rolls /
Posters on the venue doors, prolly brought too many though /
Illy always ready, yall forgot that I come heavy yo /
Thinkin bout my centerfold / symbol and my center tho /
Lookin at a sunset these mahfuckas never know /
Yall be on yo chevy chase, drivin round in Chevrolets listen kevin gates, bettin on a set of 8s /
I be in a better place, wakin up like every day chillin out by heavens gates, and partyin with heavyweights /
I aint ballin, but Im ballin out /
Yeah I got haters but too busy to call em out /
Thats that shit that I am all about /
All I do is win even though I took the harder route /
Thats word to Tay, we laughin at em I burn a Jay /
Every day a holiday, deve pop the chardonay /
Its kinda hard to hate when im a hundred million mile away /
Not away for long, but i smell the rose 'fore it rot away /
Performances were so lit / morrisons was so lit /
Oh shit, name your top 10 and we the whole list /
