Verse
City of God City of Angels
I see the evil lord send me an angel
Pray for the ones that see status on racial
Pray for the ones that kill just be hateful
When they open yo wounds man they gotta be stapled
Man it seem when you able man they wanna disable
Wanna revolution put them hands high
With the racist and the bigots know the devil nearby
Gotta know the ones around do not always rely
Man people never perfect but we still can fly
I’m alive boy I survive boy God gave the gift bring this vibe boy
With my lyricism man I destroy ploys
Power to the king not the Men of Troy
Power to people we going keep this joy
Power to people we going give this voice
Verse II
Bout to roll this dice call it seven eleven
Past several galaxies you can capture the heavens
Most High will avenge all the days of oppression
So I pray for the ones man that’s filled with aggression
Then I pray for myself as I work to be faithful
In the land of a nation where the blood was graceful
many aspects I should always be wakeful
With a plan for a cohesion find a way to be able
Man the fate of this world coming going be to fatal
This is scripted my brother real life fable
This is scripted my brother real life fable
no fear when you have what the Devil fear
Don’t be human here now with the deaf ear
Blindly they put strings like a puppeteer
And then you find yourself living for the wicked heir
God Reign
Black Reign

Hook
City of God City of Angels
I see the evil lord send me an angel
Pray for the one that see status on racial
Pray for the one that kill just be hateful
Pray for the one strive just be faithful
Pray for the one that never knew they were able
In the land of the world where the grace is graceful

Verse
So Rap today is teaching multiple things
One is idolize all the gliss on the rings
One is minimize all the possible dreams
One is hypnotize make em want like a fiend
Got the flavor sauté it ain’t no option so they bit it
We type that is poorest but we make rich richest
So I got respect for people who is on the own business
Cause you never own nothing when you sign a doted sentence
Pertaining to a contract clause that law facts
Be my own man Big Daddy Sonny Koufax
You can never call that You can never match that
Oh you made mil homie get up on that NASDAQ
Dudes they ain’t never what they seem that’s a backslap
Girls setting traps for some cheese with they booty traps
Thinking u you the first but you the third call that getting scraps
Set up for her bait intel like a wiretap
Tell how that beat feel
Tell how that heat feel
All y’all niggas keep still
Hands high like they pointing at you real steel
Conceal they wanna get me for a raw deal
For real no movie reel this is my appeal
Fulfill everything they wanna come steal
And crack everything a buster try to keep seal
I'm looking at these niggas like oh my God
Rap is moving niggas like its Amistad
I should not condemn that only should be God
But know the mainstream is some mainstream fraud

Verse
This is life in the new age my stage I pray to have no rage
But they push to the cliff and they bringing pain so you gotta bang that’s that Johnny Cage
I ain’t really got no time for the combat
I ain’t leaving got no time for a comeback
I’m watching to my left I ain't getting blind sacked
A pitch this option to my right a that’s my running back
Let this song loop around like a Cul-de-sac
Let it break down like they do with dime sacks
Let me feature this production like it's iMax
And I ain’t on shelves this ain’t got sales tax
I’m Hakeem with the dream
What that mean man I’m balling like the 92 team
Coming in savage like I roll wit the raiders
But I Battle when it’s time so it’s kinda like crusaders
But I gotta rhyme so I gotta be creator
might see a brotha shine like I’m using activator
man a nigga keep the hunger like a vicious Florida gator
Gotta see the threat coming Sarah Connor Terminator
And some people they despise you they are terminators 1:18
And them People they will try you turn you into a faker
Man It’s not the paper that is evil but the love for the paper
reaper sells possessions when you gamble with a soulless traitor
If the vanity is risen it will poison our condition
It will darken our ambition as our souls become imprisoned
And I have my own suspicion in my mind that I envisioned
That my sanity is really based on how my soul is driven
Verse
This is life in the new age my stage I pray to have no rage
But they push to the cliff and they bringing pain so you gotta bang that’s that Sonya blade
everybody tell opinions
jabber at mouth like a pack a freekin minions
So you got advice for me a but you never been this
So you understand the color, but you got no pigment
I could never tell a woman wit her body how she feeling
I ain’t never had cycle nor I never had a period
I could never say I fully understand or felt it period
It’s the same thing when it come to black and white I’m serious
Or any color for that matter I’m just giving you my chapter
Now I’m vicious like a raptor
Man I’m high in rafters like I’m praising in chapel
Feeling young Jordan Carolina in the chapel
Now I’m feeling like the warden I don’t feel no shackle
This something you can’t warn em they going be so baffled
When they get up in yo neutral zone you gotta block and tackle
Gotta Lombardi real vintage that’s a Packer
Will they ever start me put me in at linebacker
Will they ever love me well that really shouldn’t matter
I should understand this it’s the creed they can’t shatter
And the teaching of a wise master is a factor
Happy Holidays I have overtaken Santa
Punch lines hit hard call me Bruce banner
Bassline hit harder call me David Banner
Carolina boy articulating Country Grammar

Verse
No stress be my best
Only focus what I want yeah yeah nothing less
What I’m doing in this booth this is Hip Hop proof
Not going poison people with my lyrics that’s what others do
Cause I’m greatness I believe that
What’s the reason for my life if I ain’t making impacts
Relax cause I wanna keep my mind intact
Man releasing all this pressure cause I’m gas on the track
Talking NOS real fast like I’m in the skyline
Matter fact up high cause I’m in the skyline
We fly man I’m feeling Greek Delta airlines
We fly when we ride feeling free interstate we drive
we drive we glide and we drive
just vibe just ride and we going glide and we going fly
we get down with it and we get down with it
Verse II
No stress stay blessed
Only focus what I want yeah yeah nothing less
What I’m doing in this booth this is Hip Hop proof
Not going poison people with my lyrics that’s what others do
Cause it’s like that Cause it’s like that
You get pushed to this wall gotta fight back
Another blow coming at yo head need to swing back
Fighter mindset everyday oh I need that
Oh I see that but I don’t ease back
I need to tell em that you got it all cause they don’t see that but believe that
This something you can loop while you run this track
But my soul in my raps I’m kind of vintage eight track relax
I’m fired up man I’m bout to blow the roof off
I’m fired up man I’m bout to blow the roof off
I’m this thing man I’m bout to set this roof off
AND Carolina boy off

I done learn a lot of 28 years
But here’s a toast to many more so we going say cheers
Wow bro yeah I’m recalling my first beer
Matter of fact really I don’t it’s been too many years
A all them nights ain’t worried about it you just living life
Oh yo I get it right then college style summer nights
A man that’s a part of life blissing all up in them in nights
Only when you see it all explicit it’s going shape yo life
Don’t give em too much of yo soul they target self expression
Don’t give em all your worth hey man don’t start a new recession
Some people preach a pulpit but hey I got a booth
It’s my job to vaccinate some truth and not the kill youth
So you thinking popularity is where yo moneys at
You will lose your fortune that’s a stock crash NASDAQ
I stay in my pocket when I know I need to drop back
Know your route take the pass break the plane half-back
(Touchdown)
We going make em jump
We going make em We going make em
We going make em jump
A like a summertime concert

We going make em We going make em

We going make em jump
We going make em We going make em
We going make em jump
Cause this my summer jam scream theme
In this world you going find some evil people
So you gotta fight that with yo mental I call that cerebral
So I break into the secondary obliterate what’s necessary
Beat is lethal like a mercenary man it’s legendary
I ain’t got no pressure humble pie ah that’s my dietary
Be the best that’s comic like some strippers in a Monastery
Screw that price pop the tags at the Maxx it’s budgetary
too much ignorance with arrogance a that’s my adversary
Nah bottles down homie not much of a drinker
I’m a cultivator so I’m much more of a herbal thinker
Can’t be a deer in headlights I need to buck em then I truck em
with this hating revolution rise we call that Donnie Trumping
I got something for em it’s a mind game inception pumping
I will take it this to the stage gladly just to get y’all jumping
Man I’m flowing smooth like I’m a caribe chilling like a breezy
And it’s best to keep it Indy as I rap my conscience freely
This here of Olympic games this here is a marathon
Take the rock pretty cross that’s Elena Delle Donne
I might speak some knowledge so at times so they might just feel me numb
But I’m a new hope for this world of rap a that’s that Obi Wan
(Touchdown)
We going make em jump
We going make em We going make em

Verse
Fantastic I’m feeling fantastic
I’m baby to making music but I’m passing
Cause it’s playing in your speakers now
Boy you have it
Nothing to it feeling melodies is what I’m cashing
Ashing cause I’m burning papers with this black ink
Too much in psyche so I share everything I think
I Love this cause it’s real live jazzy
But I blend it with my raspy & make it nasty
Can’t worry gotta do my own thing
Keep it chucking like a runaway train
Tick tock on my clock gotta live life
Remember that you always living in your first life
Don’t let em steal yo soul cause that’s a black heist
So please tell the Reaper creeping in the black night
I’m talking to person that’s a God that you kinda a know
So you need to put that pipe down
People crazy can’t let it phase me
No mainstream artist a don’t not amaze me
They more typical then shopping a Macy’s
With a momma 2 kids an a baby
Maybe I can bring another platform
Use my brain lobes try to inform
PSA today is saying to the USA
If your heart is pumping blood you alive today

But I bring it vibing all up in yo subs
This that organic freestyle Atlantic
Outside summer air chilling in the hammock

Zone out Tune in let it play rampant
Verano summertime that is my ransom
Calculating days living a that’s my anthem
Lot a traps in this world I’m a maze runner
Cause the traps out like a killer Bear hunter
I be in the forest looking for a hideaway
Cause sometimes I don’t never wanna show my face
But on the real though I be wanting solo
Need to meditate like fighters in the DOJO
Vulnerability of man is wanting contact
I’m sticking to it can’t void it it’s my contract
I said an oath that I wanna practice real ethics
And having grace when I’m in the presence of a essence
I wanna pass down great things from genetics
Dell Curry Steph Curry with the athletics
Bad grades from before I don’t care I shred it
Cause I’m all about moment so I cannot let it
Take me back to a mindset of regretting
Now it’s on game on so I quit resetting

Verse
Yeah a this that oldie ridin 1995 flow
With the tape decks A to B sides bro
A this that they don’t know nothing Jon B flow
So let me trace it back to when I was a kid bro
Nothing like the 90s music nothing less than legendary
I was just a little brat but I love contemporary
Cause my little ears just connected wit the snare drums
With the 808s and the voices from the deep lungs
With voices from the R&B singers
From a Boy 2 Man I became a big dreamer
It all came down when I heard the best era
And Trust me when I first heard it wasn’t nothing better
Sincerely I rhyme man listen getting better
Sincerely I sign girl writing lyrics letters
Sincerely I feel homie giving all my effort
Sincerely I grit and grind while it comes together boy
Verse II
Lisa Bonet crush even I can blush
Culture of 90s black culture a head rush
It was so cool then my brother had CDs
I would go hide listen cause it was preteen
Kicking with hip hop rhythm and soul pop
Play it on repeat walk-man it won’t stop
This is dope bro y’all feeling intro
Remember the times I had to go to the record store
Wasn’t no iTunes wasn’t no YouTube it was the
black tube countdown with best tunes
Baggy with bright clothes dancing while they pose
Remember the times a that’s dangerous Michael
I loving this lane while I’m driving through memories
Cause this is nostalgic while y’all taking y’all history
I loving this lane while I’m driving through memories
Cause this is insane how this track is reminding me

Restless happy souls,
Not soldiers doing what we're told
Verse
Yeah Yeah
I wanna do what I wanna do but this brother got obligations
And I’m going get my dream beau but it’s going take a little patience
So this what step is step is making my love and I’m putting my best in
And I try to be fly but I’m never going out my way to go and live lie nah
And I’m really just a chill guy to come by
If you come around me I got the good vibes
Like the sunlight rising over clear skies
Or the sunset looking at the ocean tides
Or the nights when we living life full stride
Or the nights when we kicking with the fam right
Or the nights when we making heat all night
Or the nights when we taking in the city lights
Wanting this ain’t a pipe but it’s real life
I’m heating up tender got my butcher knife
Gonna taste so good to your ears yo
Vibe to it while you shifting those gears yo
Ain’t got no fans but I really don’t want none
I wanna call y’all family
Cause I share who I am and y’all really going listen I call that family
Ain’t got no fans but I really don’t want none
I wanna call y’all family
Cause I share who I am and y’all really going listen I call that family
Good vibes gotta kill that tripping
Peace over villain wanna keep my chilling
New day new life God given courtesy
Can’t waste mine gotta spend right currency

Verse
Let me get up in my zone right
Head lights bright as we swerving through stop light
Vibe feel tight like the denims of a thick girl
Cruel Summer comes if you let her rock your whole world
Brother this my home court you is in the rafters
Flow smooth ice cold watch me as I craft her
Beat this beat down nothing less I’m a smasher
I’m the robber of your radio & now you dancing
We ain’t never need an rooftop or a mansion
Take a rooftop though my music is the ransom
Legendary skills like I ran my way to Canton
Eating so Caribbe so you know I got the plantain
No feature this a one show tandem
Watch out for my ego I ain’t trying to be no scandal
Took her heart it’s a job I don’t wanna blow
The lust quick real slick never seem to stick though
Verse II
What’s the Vice What's the price
It’s a vice It’s a vice when you fooled more than twice
That’s the price when you compromise your night
Man I loss focus need to keep my dreams feed right
Let it burn Let it ride low cause we on four -
Minding own in our own crowd let it break it down
Touch down after while now back to Southern Cal
Do this now never how don’t deviate my style -
First on the coastline now I’m on the bassline
Never came down from the jump got the hang time
Pregame end know what’s next that’s the gametime
They ain’t got nothing on me I cause no crime
Getting speed to my game run about fo five
New addition in the lineup sitting no pine
wanna feel so alive - Sole (Soul) to the spine
Get better with that age that’s that fine wine
Bridge
We going ride it and We going roll it
We going vibe to it then we hit a stroll with it
Then we get live with it as we put the flow to it
Give a little funk so you know I got the soul with it
Verse III
Knock that thing down middle good keep that thing true
Push the pedal with than one hand on the wheel too
Turn the corner like a caddy or the summertime coupe
It's a foul to waste minutes in a game and never shoot
Jump around house of pain but I'm sane to my brain
Five on it many times though days of the daze
This is real though
take it as a quote
this is what I spoke
Little hot to touch right now
gotta let it soak

Verse
If I wasn’t meant to be I wouldn’t be in function
Yeah I’ve had some incidents that could’ve end in destruction
Southern by the province but my blood is from a another land
This is not a sham keep that cult then you’ll be damned
This is my syllabus intellectually killing this
Private educator ain’t no way they revealing this
But I need to obtain more need to refrain more
Need to comprehend what this nation was made for
But Nations fill the lands and lands fill the world
The world fills the skies so where the power lies
You alive my brother you alive
They deprive my sister you survive
Man the world fills the nah nah
Man the world don’t God got in control
Media control what they Wanna control
and ignorant divided is the one they console

Verse II
At times I need that lockdown CIA Quantico style
Cause I the see crooks breaking in hella hostile
You can learn what it is comfortable so ignorance is governs you
incompetence it hovers and I know it always stubborns you
People weakly kill when it get a little real
Quickly take a soul for revenge death is not concealed
In they mind man they think the own you they think they own you
But I prosper from your govern best believe I will dethrone you
It’s not so crazy when you fully understand it the planning
Many regulations regulating civil banning
Gotta dig dip to get my origin understanding
Your DNA is gold look before the years of branding
There’s a gap in books that wanna keep it overlooked
control is ignorance that’s just how you overlook
Born in 88 where we succeed from the state
Coming from a sacred place molded from a sacred place
