Black on Black Verse 1: This that anesthetic flow, You don’t wanna feel it, But real feelings, Do reveal, Themselves, You ain’t gotta let me know, You got amnesia? Oh, let me just remind y’all I’m not typical, Like niggas skipping readings for the centerfold, That’s Jet talk, Not Jackson RIP to that brother though, Not sure I wanna be famous, But I’ll damn sure stack residuals, This is your reality, Sorry I can’t stop the show, Period flow, heavy and non stop I always Go, With Common sense, Over simple mindedness, There’s a difference, You talking flossing, I’m talking investing, Keep the difference, Timeless knowledge for 99 cents, You may not get it, Never benefit folks like Julius, Cuz y’all money pinching, Hoping that y’all get the message, I don’t mean to be so aggressive, Rather not be passive, Like y’all, I’m laughing, God damn I’m wreckless Stay flexin’ cardiac arresting beats, Taking the right steps, Like I’m born with two right feet, No left, I must confess, When this joint dropped I geeked, Nothing but DMV in this lingo, I steady speak I can hit up my homies, Just know, all of us eat Knock one of us down, We rise together in sync Bye bye, to the past The Present is where we meet, The future is within reach, I’m ready to shake the scene, Before, I go any further, It’s important for me To take you to my Epiphany year of 2016

April 12th 02:14
Verse 1: Black on Black 6:00 in the morning Gimme a little while longer to get my rest, I set my alarm for 10 more minutes Then I forget, To get up when It goes off, Sleeping too good, Rather stay awake than doze off Maybe then I'll finish This whole list I gotta do, Cause this 9-5 is interfering, Giving me the blues, This won't last forever's What I tell myself But I can choose To keep getting distracted When I'm focusing, Or put my full effort in it, It's simple, The armed services looking good, Got big dreams for my legacies, Like black men should, But I still fight everyday with this music, It's no way God gave me this gift just to lose it, I refuse to believe it, But I get squeamish thinking about the chances, Of making it big, My aunt and uncle kept telling me Chances Are you won't make it so stay safe, It hunted me forever Locking this fear inside my brain, Man... Verse 2: So on this new day of April 12th, 2016, I'll get rid of the fear that's plagued my mind since 16, Before I went to Bowie State, And pursued something That wasn't in my heart, Just to keep my folks jumping, For joy, If I deploy, I'll leave you with this one thing, Never give up your passion Life is passing, It seems, You'll will be young forever, But by the time you're reaching 25, Your months slowly turn to days, And you'll be left wondering why, You let another convince you, That your dream is not quite valid, If it's not conventional, You're better off just looking past it, And you don't want to do that, You would hate driving in traffic, Working your menial job, When your creative mind could be grasping onto something worthy, Of time Cuz with every rhyme, I feel like I'm in heaven Living on a cloud nine This feeling is how life should be Don't get so caught up on tryna live your life so properly, That you lose sight and possibly, Your dreams

Verse 1: See from my perspective, Been thinking about this election Wish we could've had more selections Wish they saw from our perspectives Being scared of guessing What the future of our country holds Y'all already living large We gotta stay on our toes See from my perspective I get on IG and see another chick around 23 about to drop a baby Don't wanna see from that perspective But Im still acting reckless, Skipping out on contraceptives See from my perspective, I'm fucking around and fucking around By the time I settle down I'll be a step dad Now, I'm seeing Jon's perspective I understand why he wants to wife quick Nothing like having your own crib with your own kids See from my perspective As a black man With his head on straight, Im a target everyday Y'all haven't had a way to get us out this country Since slavery So you gave us war on drugs, prison cells, and poverty See from our perspective Hook: Yea, then see from my perspective See from our perspective Yea, then see from my perspective Verse 2: See from my perspective I saw a white girl Walking through Anacostia In the night time , Back in the 90's that'll be costing your life They didn't see from our perspective Kicked us all right out of DC With no conscious effort Used to be chocolate city Now there's a Starbucks sitting On every street corner, Y'all fucked up traffic, I hate taking the hike to Waldorf, To visit my mama And now the fucking suburbs are infiltrated with drama See from our perspective Having to worry about being 10x better Or I'm losing my cheddar To a white man, white woman Or a race that's a level Still higher than black We're at the bottom I fail to Understand, Why y'all people want to be like us, Rock the braids, do the dances, speak the slang like us Our perspective isn't a thing that you can ever adjust to, Y'all don't fuck with us anyway, Y'all want what we produce, Excellence See from our perspective Yea, Hook: See from my perspective Yea, then see from our perspective See from my perspective Bridge: Y'all ain't go through the oppression But y'all go through the obsession Biologically speaking, You can't see from our perspective x2 Dave Chapelle: DC's different Oh my God man, it took me years to do this show, Boy DC has changed! It's different now It's a lot of white people walking around isn't it? I mean, I left DC in the 80's, It was not like this in the 80's When crack was going on, Remember when crack was going on? White be looking at DC from Virginia with binoculars, "Well that looks dangerous, not yet!"

Uncle Sam 03:30
Interviewer: As you know, the Heavyweight Champion of the world has just made his decision. He has rejected induction into the United States Military forces, it is also his personal choice at this time, To issue no statements, To talk to no one, Black on Black x2 Verse 1: Uncle Sam looks like the plan, Can't find another route, Don't understand how God could stand me, I feel I'm selling out, How will my niggas understand my choice, I feel I’m well endowed with visions and talent, Can't believe that I am tapping out My cousin asked me, "What about your black power? They don't give a **** about your life here They will devour you there" My stubbornness keeps my mind clear of biases “I don't want your advice *****” Started being defiant My biggest clients Were beats when I was younger Got off work in the summer Jotted down thunder until i slumbered It was religion Now I'm dismissing my own mission, For white visions, Not comprehending Where God's sending me Life's given Everytime I think about lifting my brothers up, Nobody can stand the weight We carry On our backs Our lives are tough, But y'all could never relate That's why I ask, Are these benefits are as good as they say? There's another way, I'm sure Uncle Sam been calling me Been thinking bout responding back But I said I’d never leave here x2 I said I'd never leave here x2 He’s saying that he’ll pay my bills Give me a bright future, but honestly to keep it real I still said I’d never leave here x2 I said I'd never leave here x2 Verse 2: It's just that tryna find my way hasn't been harder, So I figured I'd follow my father, Already got the degree, So I'd go in as an officer, Shit, I'm much safer there than here, With these ******* officers, Right? "Right, But brother you never struck me as the army type, You're meant to be here with us Contributing to our fight, Use your intelligence, Uplift brothers that's settling, No, I'm not your pops but close enough, Yea I'm meddling, Last thing that I need is for your face to pop on CNN, And be another statistic" Yea Kay, Your Pops words of wisdom Live inside me today And as the days move on and we inch closer to election time, I get kinda nervous, Find myself searching for peace of mind, Tryna keep an Obama mentality isn't easy Especially when you keep seeing 45 on the TV, Tryna find another way to piss another country off, Praying he doesn't win, Or a war will not be TOO far off Ending: Are these benefits are good as they say? There's another way, I'm sure I'm just trying to feed my family Muhammad Ali: I will say here boldly, now and on television, No! I will not go 10,000 miles from here, To help murder and kill Another poor people simply to continue The domination of white slave masters Over the darker people of the earth

By Any Means 04:34
Black on Black Verse 1: Yea, tired of waiting on the sidelines Has to be a point when I say "**** it man, it's my time" Life is short as ****, Please excuse my French, But Napoleon knew that, So he conquered that ****, Gotta little sis in school, Grinding hard for scholarships, Mama working two jobs tryna help out and pay rent, Once upon a time, Had a chance I could've moved bricks, Or that loud, But my moms louder, When pissed, So I chilled quick, I gotta rep, And do this **** for the DMV, They banking on me No PNC, To bring the trophy H-O-M-E Been a minute since 14th, Connecticut, And U Street, Or Fells Point In Body more, With the homies wilding tryna get a piece, But eventually you gotta eat, Junk food won't last forever, Eventually you'll have to do better, Success comes to those who are clever, Gotta make my sis proud, She been waiting on this for years now, Brag Tee, I'm here now Hook: Gotta grind so I can keep a stack, I ain't getting younger that's a fact, So a brother gotta get it by any means x4 Verse 2: I don't wanna be here, Any more than you want me to, I'm so sincere And yea I get tired of hear-, -ing, All your gossip on the phone, About me living in the basement, And how I need to find my own, Like I don't pay my bills on time, Get up every morning to go grind, Then come back home and work some more on my life, But, I promise if I keep feeding my mind And I keep stacking this bread I'm gon leave this house in time It won't be no hard feelings when I make it though, When I come home with the stack, My vision will be clearer, Though, I'm quiet about my business, I'm always tryna plot a master scheme to grow my digits, To make sure that you're good, And make sure I fulfill my wishes, It's barely bout me, I can be selfish, But how else am I gon make sure we breathe? In a world, where people like us are not supposed to succeed, But I'm here when you need me You just gotta believe in me Hook Verse 3: Not many people match this grind, Been rapping this real **** since 05' I stay live, All I know is grind Folks think I'm Jamaican Multiple ways to stay caking Many ****** be hating But it's only cause They be waiting For a brother like me to give a handout like They paying Or like I witnessed Jehovah But y'all bugging me worse Than a mosquito Bruh, I told ya, I don't do this **** for y'all I do this for yungins at home, So they can learn to ball, I don't do this **** for the broads, Gotta keep that space, In place in case I ever fall I do this **** for the streets, ****** with degrees, Do this **** for the culture, What others wanna be, I do this **** for Lateef, Homie RIP, My homeboy new talent Way before the Shanghai streets Hook Black on Black Yea, got it by any means x5 Ay, this track mean x5 Ay, yea But you know it's hard to balance this shit with a relationship It's always two sides to a story
6.
Verse 1: Stuck between loving and promiscuity Wanna be a lover But I'm scared for ones pursuing me I can be a handful I'm full of inconsistencies One day you're my heaven Next week you're stuck with missing me I'm serious about the grind Frankly I don't have the time Seen so many come and go, It's been the cycle of my life That's why when you cry I sigh, I don't know what to feel inside Do I stay and settle? No, I'll add a detour to my life Now I'm back to sipping Tangueray With the homies, At Bliss night club When this chick came and approached me with this nice ass Her intention was getting to know me, Took her to the crib, Did the biz The next morning She hit me up, I never hit her back, she texted me "you're foney" Never gave a damn, back to grinding cause y'all know me, Told my best friend about the story, She just shook her head And told me "one day you'll be lonely" Damn Hook (Heyse): Even when I’m not around She wanna hold me down, I’m not ready for that now, She gon find out x2 She been calling all day to see if I’m gon answer my phone, But money’s calling now, She gon find out Verse 2: Im numb to the pain I used to feel (so numb x2) But best believe I understand your grieving, It kills That little ounce of hope that you possess, You want it to live on Instead of living with regrets But I'd rather tell you leave Another would be good for you I am such a wreck Financially I'm not the dude And you can say the money doesn't count, All that amounts is the love But where is the love if I'm unfaithful? And I know that I'm unable To be there when you need me You call me and get upset Cause I'm busy you wanna see me The whole time I get pissed Cause you're acting real needy Threatening to leave me cuz I don't make time for we, I don't understand, (Understand) Maybe because, I'm not yet a grown man, I am still young But it is in my plan (In the plan) To be there in time Currently I gotta handle mine I hope you're here in time Hook (Heyse) Verse 3: 2 years passed since we broke up Living the life I always spoke up Money for days, Enough to go nuts So why am feeling like I am so crushed? I got chicks now But I don't trust them, (You can’t trust them) They only want the rewards So I don't cuff them I pull out quick soon as I bust them Then dip out quick, cuz I'm not cuddling Truthbetold, I really miss my friend, (Do you really?) I reminisce often, About when, (I don’t think so) You would trip out, I wouldn't listen, (You never listened) Now I'm learning real loves close to non-existent, I wanna hit your phone, But I'm a tad bit, Embarrassed How we ended, Not hopeful we'll be rekindling This is exactly what I didn’t want to happen, Though it’s hard to tell by my actions (yea, it’s hard to tell) And it only makes it harder Cause I’m seen as a role model How can they follow me? When I’m fucking up Just as bad as folks that admire me We all human though, I never judge a man for his decisions, Only how he grows after, Never longing to be perfect, I’m not an actor, But I’m director of my life, No looking backwards, Gotta keep it moving forward, Like I’m Ford tough, And keep these lessons Instilled mentally, Love Hook (Tiffany Bostick): Now that I'm not around, He wanna hold me down, I don't want that now, That's what he found out x2 He been calling all week to see if I'm gon answer my phone, He learned his lesson now, I bet he found out

Solid Ground 02:56
Black on Black Verse 1: What do you do When you're distracted by temptation This generation is Numb We don't feel no more I'm chasing maturity In fear they will get bored with me So I straddle the line of Disorderly Conduct I'm stuck like many But many won't get to heaven Recklessly A recipe for failure Telling your dreams that they can rest in peace, No we're not perfect But our worth is, And cops don't really understand our purpose, So we're hurting Every time we see another brother, shot down We're not feeling that pain, We're rioting for change to come, How Do we expect to come to a solution When we keep causing pollution On the other hand We're whites right for rioting just for losing a game, It's all stupid But double standards do exist They expect us to co exist When Billy's crimes just get remised My homie Andre got some time When I dropped his ass a line I learned his crime's not justified Coming up I Learned that I had to submit When pigs arrive Never knew that I had my rights Now that I'm grown And learning more I'm eating pigs like carnivores Please leave your ego at my door Even in these rhymes I ask for more forgiveness From the Lord, As I try to keep it censored For the church But I gotta speak my heart Not beat around, Life's a roller coaster I'm just trying to find some solid ground Now Hook: Life's a roller coaster I'm just trying to find some solid ground Now x3 Solid Ground Now Verse 2: What if I told you If we boycott Instagram they would give a damn, Give us much more time to devise A plan to defeat the man, I swear we're exposed to these distractions, A generation of talkers That don't know how to take action, While you're snapping They're chatting Amongst themselves About how To invest, so their youngins are living well And start their family businesses, So the cycle continues of white wealth, While we're fiddling, Thumbs on our screens, You think Bill Gates gives a fuck about a hashtag? You think they care about the 800 we just had, In our pockets? These tech leaders understand Hands on learning Brings profit, The REAL prophet, And God knows, They won't let their kids get hooked, They keep their kids outside, And in books, I don't care about your Jordan's or Red bottoms And fuck your beef, niggas solve them Focus on real problems SHIT! Life's a roller coaster I'm just trying to find some solid ground Now Solid Ground now Black on Black

No matter the issue, everything is gon be alright Yea (Yea) Can you stand the rain x2 Verse 2 (Heyse): I often wonder can she hold out I told her she got a smart mouth, I like feisty girls, No doubt she's worth my time And babygirl is nothing less than a dime, She really blows my mind, I'm tripping, But she helps me when I'm limping, She's the super woman type, And hell yea we fuss and fight, But like real couples we make it right, By the end of the night when she's Biting my lip and scratching my back, She turns that, Pain to pleasure, Then it's right back to loving again, She don't get confused, She knows I'd rather blow my fuse on her, It's been plenty times she thought of leaving, It's been many reasons, I'm so not perfect, But she understands perfection, Won't come from always searching, And I understand ain't nothing better than a loyal woman Hook (Tiffany Bostick): Sunny days x4 Can you stand the rain x2 Bridge (Tiffany Bostick): Sunny Days Can't appreciate them without the rain, I won't doubt you baby I won't bring you pain, Forget the arguments, I wanna keep you sane, Stand in the rain with me babe, Can you hang in the rain? Hook (Tiffany Bostick): Sunny days don’t come easy, I want em too, I want em too Please believe me, Can you stand the rain, But can you stand the rain, Can you stand the rain Say, you know that you fine, right? (Right!) You know that you mine, right? (Right!) No matter the issue, everything is gon be alright Yea (Yea) Can you stand the rain x2 Heyse: Black on Black Sometimes you gotta try hard for the one you love, No matter the consequence, No matter the situation, If she's yours, she's yours

Black Talk 03:03
Verse: I'm seeing many of my brothers winning Now, No DJ Khaled, We've ran quite a few miles From the days of being a panther To these days of Cam Newton, They don't want to see us this far, Only wanna see us shooting, On the court or at each other, Giving heart attacks mothers Every time we leave the house Afraid to be another Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown I refuse to remain Bland Sandra told me that I can, Demand my rights, I fear no man, See our plan should be targeting black economy Set up shop Build up another Black Wall Street One less hot So they won't burn it down They were jealous to see us make it without them Used to us slaving for them But I'm not Slavic Fill up our pockets Invest in youth They are the future Only way to change the present lane we had to get so use to, Teach them to self defend So pigs won't have to keep abusing you, Give them education, So they will not make a fool of you, Rid our mind of complexion, Either way they're arresting Us the same way, Making money every time our people Check in at the state, Prisons Or federal I had several brothers do time for the medical, Before legalization At least for them Giving us time for the same crime We been doing for years To make a living for our families Now they capitalizing While we still got brothers in the pin, I’m wondering when will it end, This unfair treatment that we get It’s up to us to make a change Go head and break those mental chains Put our brains to work, Get rid of division between us, Even if Willie Lynch isn’t true, he’s true enough, We’d break each other down, Before we bring each other up, Ain’t no use being mad at me, Crab in a barrel mentalities, Won’t bring us together, it’ll keep us weak I’m tryna drops gems, So we can work it out, And running our mouths, Will not water the drought We can work solo, But I’d rather not go without, My people, Do like the Jews and pull together, Like a vice grip, Fight with each other, instead of fight against It’s hard though, cuz lately I’ve been kinda convinced That building our own here almost feels like it’s impossible, Recently being international Seems logical Is it possible for me to leave the soil I’ve grown on? Just to open the mind of my people Here at home? I Gotta try, Even if I die, And to my Hispanic brothers and sisters, We gotta unite, We got way more similarities than differences, In Amerikkka, We gotta spread the love This is black talk, we gotta unite x4
12.
Verse: Thunder lives in my eyes, No rain left, Used to wake with night sweats, From being lost, Threw on my sweats, Then wiped off, The perspiration, Go outside, Stopping my mind from racing, Ran a few laps, Around my hood, Became impatient, Couldn’t fight the fear of being complacent, Rightfully so, Have a duty to show that chasing dreams, Not so obscene as what they make it seem, And now it’s bigger than me, I’m tryna shift the scene, Ery, of what we’ve been, Accustomed to, Came to change our point of view, Only a, select few of our 12% here, Phew, Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it here, In the back of my mind, I just knew something would steer, me off the track, And I’d be back to thinking small scale, In a mental jail, But all in all I know my pops is smiling down, At the progress that I’ve made, And I hope y’all understand That I been tryna pave the way, Of thinking more globally, than we do today Yea I hope y'all been reading between the lines, Our opportunities are endless now, Become global

Verse: I ain’t gotta know you brother to feel you, Once you show them your power, They’ll try to kill you, They’ll Willie Lynch you, Take your pride and your mental, It’s instrumental in breaking down, What they don’t understand, Their minds are simple, Reminds me of the shit those white folk kept us going through, All these years, The fears they have, kept us in bondage It just proves, The reason why, it took so long for them to come and get you, The reason why I’m just seeing Fox coverage on the news about you, It’s been almost two years, I saw your family in tears, Working hard to get you back there, They gave you four more years, Shit, Two times as hard to swallow, When folks know you’re innocent, But I admire your optimism, And fearlessness Last year before I became a product of this China, Living, I was still in awe, Back in America, Because what I saw Was opportunities, That most brothers would never get, Exploring the arts, teaching sports, pursuing entrepreneurship Shit, That’s a place for me, Sign me up, ASAP I’ll come by way of teaching English, Just let me plant the seed Let me see what the world has to offer me I know this probably sounds familiar, Bruh, And honestly, I’m not one to generalize, I know you’ve seen your share Of good people Surrounding you in life, Over here on the East side of the world, Just like I’ve seen them too, But of course you get the ones, That make you wonder, Why the hell you came to do what you do It’s never been easy for us bruh, You know as much as I do, But you’ve been strong up to now, Tryna maintain good moods, I’m just be tryna figure out, How you be keeping your cool, Writing LOL’s in letters, Making sure God shows through During those moments, When you’re down, feeling hopeless Just remember, That you got people on the outside keeping their focus, Tryna get you out This worlds cruel, But stay sane bruh I hope this letter finds you well Sincerely, Heyse And that's it, Hook: From a brother to a brother, I ain't gotta know you, It's all one love, one love From a brother to a brother, I didn't have to know you prior, It's all one love, one love
