The Company You Keep
You know I heard a saying
It says that the people you hang around with are who ultimately become at the end of the day
And as someone who once was a subject of that
I can tell you
You dont have to stay there if you dont want too
You can find your own way
You dont have to be pressured to do things that you dont wanna do
You can be better
Better than the company you keep
Yo, I used to think that it was all good
Especially where I grew up was a small hood
But sometimes man god forbid we knocking on wood
Knowing that some of my niggas up to no good
Hoping they don't end up dead or ever catch a body
Cuz a nigga like myself man I knew everybody
From my niggas around the way
To my niggas always watching anime
I was well rounded something I always was proud to say
Just the luck of the draw the way I juggled both sides of the fence
Was truly raw, I know it left'em in awe
Like how'd he make it this far through all of the peer pressure
A diamond in the rough found shining like hidden treasure
Guess I just knew the importance of my worth
And knowing nobody cares until you learn to put you first
You might cut some people off regardless if it hurt
Changing the energy you put into the earth
The company the you keep
Cuz the people you keep the closest
Are no good if they don't keep you focused
Meaning that you'll cut some people off regardless if it hurt
To change the energy you put into the earth
The company the you keep
Cuz the people you keep the closest
Are no good if they don't keep you focused
Meaning that you'll cut some people off regardless if it hurt
To change the energy you put into the earth
The company the you keep
You see I thought I was the man cuz my niggas was pullin triggers
Playin' with they life like a couple of action figures
Perhaps I figured this was the life I wanted to live
But I realized there was more I wanted to give
Myself the opprotunity to do, and now today
I stand before you as the living proof, you gotta learn
To play the game don't let it play wit'chu, cuz otherwise
You may not ever come to find your truth, just passin' juice
I had to look into the mirror deciding if I was gon' be a man or another nigga
Licking shots, off of the liquor, tryna paint a picture
So vivid it make me sicker, understand my story
Ain't never have any filler, my life was on the line
And shit was just gettin' realer, but I wanted to be
That light, beacon, that pillar, and so the dreams I had
Became exponentially bigger, than being on the block
With all my niggas
The company you keep
Cuz the people you keep the closest
Are no good if they don't keep you focused
And so the dreams I had
Became exponentially bigger
Than being on the block with all my niggas
The company you keep
Never let the company you keep
Everybody ain't your friend
Just stay focused on your dreams
Yeah
Be careful of the company you keep
The universe
Gone give you what you need
Everytime

You ain't never wear these kinda shoes before
Be careful what it is that your askin' for
Don't you hold your breath but don't say no more
It's prolly for the best if you shut the front door
Bum ditty dum ditty day (HEY)
It's all games 'til somebody don't play (HO)
I said bum ditty dum ditty day (HEY)
I think I see trouble on the way (HO)
This is the environment, we survive in everyday
Cops on the block sweeping through it like a hurricane
Asking people questions but, don't nobody know a thang
Though that 9 milly went off like wa da da dang
On the corner pitchin' see the trouble that it bring
Cuz what you gonna do when that batter go swang
Thinkin' shit sweet like little bo peep
Is the surest way for you to end up rottin' your teeth
So easy, this ain't nothin' that you see on tv
Believe me, frontin' niggas gimme hebe gebes
Hatin' when they see you on point like a teepee
Expectin' hand outs in this life ain't no freebies
Uh, better stay up in your lane
Cuz if you don't then you get smoked mary jane
And it get charged to the game
Meanin' that somebody earnt stripes for the gang
You ain't never wear these kinda shoes before
Be careful what it is that your askin' for
Don't you hold your breath but don't say no more
It's prolly for the best if you shut the front door
Bum ditty dum ditty day (HEY)
It's all games 'til somebody don't play (HO)
I said bum ditty dum ditty day (HEY)
I think I see trouble on the way (HO)
Yeah, see this pain in the bottle
Could really make these pills right here hard to swallow
Cuz though we here today could be gone by tomorrow
Especially when niggas want your head, sleepy hollow
Acrobatic how the script flip
Play flashy if you want, get your chain snatched quick
Little do you know, this the language that we know
Some of us don't get a shot, not a chance to pick and roll
Because mentally we feel like there's nowhere else we can go
So we loyal to the street, and we stickin' to the code
That's right, man this life we live it ain't all black/white
And the comics weren't the only time we saw a dark (k)night
You may want to try to pay attention to my insight
Cuz shit get kinda spooky make you wish you had a night light
Uh, so you'll be asking for trouble
Ridin' through here with no seat belt buckled
You ain't never wear these kinda shoes before
Be careful what it is that your askin' for
Don't you hold your breath but don't say no more
It's prolly for the best if you shut the front door
Bum ditty dum ditty day (HEY)
It's all games 'til somebody don't play (HO)
I said bum ditty dum ditty day (HEY)
I think I see trouble on the way (HO)
Trouble
Trouble
Nah you don't want trouble trouble
I said you gon' find trouble trouble
Nah you don't want trouble trouble

Patience
03:01
|

Just gotta have patience
For your loved ones and your close friends have patience
For the know it alls and your enemies have patience
For your mindstate and to find you have patience
With whatever you going through have patience
Yeah, just gotta have patience
Yeah, Just gotta have patience
For this green earth and this universe have patience
All you need in this world is to have patience
We all got people that's around us that make us feel like we ain't good enough
And some in our corner like you doing such a good job just keep it up
I realize that alot of you may not understand what that mean
Blinded by your reality only thing you know is routine
But if you open your eyes up I can promise you one thing
You'll notice more who's around you and the energy that they bring
From negatives, to the sedatives, they'll suck you dry like lozenges
You won't see your potential 'til you start focusing on the positives
And I'm positive
We got more than alot to give to our universe
Important now that we know our worth
Can't you see that we god's work, yeah god's work
Look within and you'll find first
Your godliness, your ancestors, your queenship and your kingship
See it come together like a seamstress
Sewed up and we need this
For our body, soul and our spirit uh
Tell me now if you feel it
You gotta treat it like your most prized possession and let nobody get near it
Once you realize with real eyes, see real lies then you get it, uh
Just gotta have patience
For your loved ones and your close friends have patience
For the know it alls and your enemies have patience
For your mindstate and to find you have patience
With whatever you going through have patience
Yeah, just gotta have patience
Just gotta have patience
For this green earth and this universe have patience
All you need in this world is to have patience
Through all drama and stress know it could be hard to see that your blessed
When someone always tryna bring you down it could be hard achieving your best
When they block you from any chance of possibly seeing what may come next
But they can't shoot your dreams down if their equipped with a bulletproof vest
No less uh, life is all about chess moves
Like hard times when the rent's due may your next move be your best move
If you got the right people next too
Yourself then you can't lose
And barriers you'll breakthrough
Once able to see best you and that's true
So it's okay to swallow your pride
Cuz it's true enough that we all need human interaction to survive
This that knowing stars do align, this that reading between the lines
This that realizing that good things do come to those in due time
All in due time yeah
Look with your eyes, think with your mind
Though opportunity knocks on the door I know it's better to peak through the blinds
You gotta challenge yourself and be wise know everything may not come with a sign
You gotta do what is better for you, if that mean leaving somebody behind yeah
Just gotta have patience
For your loved ones and your close friends have patience
For the know it alls and your enemies have patience
For your mindstate and to find you have patience
With whatever you going through have patience
Yeah, just gotta have patience
Just gotta have patience
For this green earth and this universe have patience
All you need in this world is to have patience

Star Child ft. Solis
03:39

Don't you wanna see baby
Don't you wanna believe baby
That you are a star child
That you are a star child
Can you see the light
Is it shining bright
You must be the sun even through the night
Baby you a star child
Baby you a star child
Hey, yeah
I put my time in round the clock I understood the mission
Tryna put my people on but some get caught up in superstition
I'm far from a hero with super vision instead I hope they listen
To my knowledge of ancient poems and crystal prisms
I never really think I stood for religion
But I do know there's a higher power timin' decisions
Due to every wakin' moment, every thought that we're givin
If I told you your thoughts weren't your own would you wanna keep livin'
Or would you turn it into position energy, proceed to remedy
Your entire being and entity, weighin' you mentally
I know it can be difficult tryna find your soliloquey
Especially when ya company's reduced to naught but memory
You get lost again like common trinkets and accessories
I hate to say it but don't become an accessory
To what may cause harm to your future presently
Just let go and just let destiny, yeah
Don't you wanna see baby
Don't you wanna believe baby
That you are a star child
That you are a star child
Can you see the light
Is it shining bright
You must be the sun even through the night
Baby you a star child
Baby you a star child
Hey, yeah
By the moon and stars we simply appear to defy the odds
With the power that we get from the universe we could strike the GODS
So why's it hard for us to see that we're invaluable
Because we don't believe in ourselves we're simply fallible
To the ways of the world, I start to see no picture is different
Than the one of my own image, the one I was so gifted
To look at in the mirror recognizin' my soul lifted
I reach across da spectrum due to hopes that we all get it
Apart from those flawed gimmicks, but gracefully authentic
All I'm tryna do is bind our ties together, because its now or never
Open your eyes you'll see we're diamonds from results of pressure
That's how your heart is measured, so make sure you treasure
The life you have now, make it worthwhile
And stay resilient regardless of how it pans out
Because that light'll shine, see you a star child (we all a star child)
Don't you wanna see baby
Don't you wanna believe baby
That you are a star child
That you are a star child
Can you see the light
Is it shining bright
You must be the sun even through the night
Baby you a star child
Baby you a star child
Hey, yeah

Through Your Eyes
03:20
|
|||
There was a time within our lives we were inseparable
Now I find it difficult for me to just sit next to you
Like I'm supposed to forget all the damage you done
Always doing foul shit and then you break out and run
I know I did all I could as my brother's keeper but you decided
You would rather simply follow the leader, know for me it gets deeper
Cuz you told me to my face that it was me you'd hate to be
See I was hurt you'd rather look to someone else than up to me
And I ain't know how to stomach that, I mean my heart broke
In the streets ain't shit out there for you but false hope
But you was runnin'em, with them niggas
Pretendin' like you was one them just because they had thug in'em
That was somethin' I could never understand
Do you honestly believe that shit right there make you a man
No I don't think so, but you seem to love the block
I guess the day you plan to stop is when they "X" you out the box
You know that pain that you been feeling is the same one I have felt
I know it comes from childhood wit all the trauma we was dealt
But maybe I'm still thinkin of myself
And maybe this is how you crying out for help
Let me see it through your eyes
Cuz maybe I'm just living blind
Let me see it through your eyes
Help me understand
Let me see it through your eyes
Maybe I'll understand why
If I see it through your eyes
If I could only see it through your eyes
See it through your eyes
Alot of shit is harder now but do you know what makes it tougher
When the one who gave you life feels like she failed you as a mother
I don't think you comprehend that
But it's sad because all she want is her son back, know she feel like she lost that
And there ain't much more of this she can take
Seeing potential in you going to waste, feel like its more on her plate
But who is she to be the judge of your fate
Cuz she ain't been through whatchu have I mean how could she relate
I know that's prolly whatchu thinkin
While you gettin' high everyday and liquor drinkin'
She knows that you been drowning and she hate to see you sinking
Only wantin' better for you
I guess she was only thinkin' of your kids nigga
But you more concerned about being a real nigga
I know you hate to hear the truth but lets be real nigga
Now let me paint this picture for you, make it clear nigga
For real nigga (let me see it through your eyes)
Let me see it through your eyes
Cuz maybe I'm just living blind
Let me see it through your eyes
Help me understand
Let me see it through your eyes
Maybe I'll understand why
If I see it through your eyes
If I could only see it through your eyes
See it through your eyes
Desensitization annihilated my imagination at a very young age
And I know this is no excuse
But bare with me as I heal the plant of who I am
And the roots of what I used to be
So that I can be me authentically
No longer fighting to prove my strength
I am showing up vulnerable, beautiful
And although I am too strong indeed
I once was a sheep
But somehow I done woke

HER
03:18
|
|||
In the midst of the moment
He had laid her on her back and suddenly she was moanin'
The night was young no way to tell if it would last till the mornin'
But he knew that after this his separate way he was goin'
Cuz to be honest all he wanted was her draws he was dying to take'em off
Without realizin' the kinda price it was bout to cost
Because she fell in love, with the innocence of a lady bug
That's why the key to her temple to him she gave it up
Without even thinkin' twice, therein lies the problem
Cuz through all the commotion they forgot to wear a condom
Not hard to tell that luck was far from they side
Because a couple weeks later man she got a surprise
Findin out that she was pregnant put some fear in her eyes
So she called up homeboy hoping that he would arise
To the occassion but he laughed, hung up the phone in depise
And now she realize all the times he said I love you was lies, damn
He had her like (Oouuu)
And she was like (Ooohh)
Then she was like (Yeah)
That's what she said
He had her like (Oouuu)
And she was like (Ooohh)
Then she was like (Yeah)
That's what she said
Now she going through it thinkin' what to do next
Baby in her stomach, heart beatin out of her chest
Filled with the pain of regret she was nothin but stressed
Like how in the fuck did I ever get myself in this mess
That was exactly how she felt, but the truth was
She ain't lie herself down on her back and make that baby by her self
So she rolled up to that nigga house, cursed that nigga out
Like you took advantage of me and left me to figure out
How to make it on my own, all alone on this planet
Cuz you upset that it never turned out the way you planned it
I'ma tell you one thing and I pray you understand it
I'll be damned you think I'm raising this kid as a single parent
You got it twisted
You see these tears rollin' down my motherfuckin face
Cuz im so motherfuckin livid
Let you in between my legs because I thought that you were different
But really you just more of the same who was I kiddin
He had her like (Oouuu)
And she was like (Ooohh)
Then she was like (Yeah)
That's what she said
He had her like (Oouuu)
And she was like (Ooohh)
Then she was like (Yeah)
That's what she said
an understatement to say that she had an attitude
But push came to shove and so she knew what she had to do
So that little one wouldn't end up being colateral damage
She promised to love this baby with such a magnitude
That he or she will value and appreciate it's life
Even with no father figure, abortion she ain't consider
Like maybe its for the best to have this kid without that nigga
This shit ain't gon be easy it's gone take some sacrificing
But I'll be there with you always through the thunder and the lightning
Know your mommy got your back no matter what
On my word you can trust baby I promise I'll never give you up
Because it's all about you, it's no longer 'bout me
I promise to raise you up, as a king or a queen
So when you put your mind to it you'll be what you wanna be
You see this feeling that I'm feeling ain't nothing I ever dreamed
To have so much love for something I've never seen

We done gone through the rain so it's only right if we see the sun shine
I'm your batman, you my catwoman we make love then fight crime
Baby you keeping me focused
And I'm always in the right mind
Whenever we are together uh
Feel like we birds of a feather
I don't believe it could get any better
I know the love that we have is forever
Long as you always gon be here to stay
I promise to be what you need everyday
Because I don't want this to fade I'm hopin this last the rest of our days
Baby I need you, baby I want you
Can't be without you, bae don't you see
They can't tear apart, what we built from nothin'
We poured out our hearts and it blossomed into somethin'
You all I need in this world
Now we got all the time in the world (yeah, yeah)
I feel its never enough
You deserve more than just loving and loyalty baby
That's why I keep biggin' you up
And proudly I call you my lady

I might just fuck you in your cubicle baby
I know you deserve it
And I know you worth it
If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder then baby you perfect
I get my inspiration solely from you when I'm writing these verses
So tell me what is it that I gotta do
To make all your dreams become true
Because we got all the time in the world
And baby I owe it to you
Baby I need you, baby I want you
Can't be without you, bae don't you see
They can't tear apart, what we built from nothin'
We poured out our hearts and it blossomed into somethin'
You all I need in this world
Now we got all the time in the world (yeah, yeah)

I make mistakes yeah
That's all on me
But this is my life
Just love me for me yeah
Love me for me yeah
Love me for me
This is my life
Just love me for me
I've burnt bridges, defied wishes
I've lost friends, I've lost interest
I've done wrong, in GODs image
But all I ask, is your forgiveness
Yeah, we all bound to make mistakes
And that's a part of life we all simply can't erase
I just leave it up to fate
And what my destiny is I will embrace
All this time that we waste we could be showin love
With a smile we could be giving hugs, we don't do it enough
Especially when its blood, family's all that we got
But sometimes even your family could be alot
To deal with, puttin into a tighter spot
But family is family if we like it or not uh
But we aint gotta judge eachother
You let me be me and my wings'll flutter
I make mistakes yeah
That's all on me
But this is my life
Just love me for me yeah
Love me for me yeah
Love me for me
This is my life
Just love me for me
Society, I'm no menace
I've broke curses, it took limits
I know that gods, my eye witness
So if it works out, it's all fitness
Uh, Now I'm where im supposed to be
And my baby girls I'm keepin'em close to me
So they can see daddy ain't perfect, hopefully
Because even I brought in some baggage like groceries
Who am I to lead if I don't give'em the keys
This is me unapologetically
Speakin' my truth, maintainin' probity
What others think of me don't dissolve my qualities
I came a long way from the depths of poverty
These lines hit harder if you know me privately
Uh, I've made it thus far
So love me for me or don't love me at all
I make mistakes yeah
That's all on me
But this is my life
Just love me for me yeah
Love me for me yeah
Love me for me
This is my life
Just love me for me
Love me for me
Or dont love me at all
Cuz i got so much to give so much love to give
It'd be ashame
for the world to not see that
Believe that
and for those out there
That feel like they ain't got nobody that love'em
I love you
We all need somebody to love us
We all do
Whether we wanna except that or not

YOU&I
03:57
|

Yeah, for me you always did what was best
Whether or not you had the energy from dealing with stress
You gave me everything you had there wasn't much for you left
And sometimes I feel guilty momma I do confess
You wanted to join the navy and be all you could be
But you couldn't because you ended up pregnant with me
I put a halt on your life you wasn't ready for me
You had things you wanted to do, places you wanted to see (Damn)
And I know it was even harder
Dealing with abuse from my lying and cheatin' father
Who never wanted to claim me in the first place, all he wanted was third base
I feel a scenario of the worst case
Would be most beneficial to us all
Especially for the fact that he treated you like a dog
I know that its been years and them days are dead and gone
But for you I knew I had to sing this song, yeah
I remember the times momma when it was you and I
(I remember)
Yeah just you and I
(Just you and I momma)
(You and I)
I remember the times momma when it was you and I
(I remember)
Yeah just you and I
(Just you and I momma)
(You and I)
And surely I do remember
The many times you prayed hoping things would get better
See the storm you always weathered I admired that
You was always fighting back, that strength in me, you inspired that
Remember I would sing tyrese's sweet lady to you
Without me knowing how much it actually meant to you
That was back when I was just a little kid
You taught me right from wrong, gave me all you had to give
I know at times you wish you coulda changed the way that we lived
Because our struggles led to us having no food in the fridge
Ain't have a dollar to your name but by the skin of your teeth
You made sure that I was straight and I had something to eat
How would I make it in this life if you ain't gimme the keys
A reflection of yourself it now lives inside of me
I owe you more than just the world, the moon and stars above
Ain't no way that I'd forget my first love
Momma
I remember the times momma when it was you and I
(I remember)
Yeah just you and I
(Just you and I momma)
(You and I)
I remember the times momma when it was you and I
(I remember)
Yeah just you and I
(Just you and I momma)
(You and I)
I remember the times momma when it was you and I
(I remember)
Yeah just you and I
(Just you and I momma)
(You and I)
I remember the times momma when it was you and I
(I remember)
Yeah just you and I
(Just you and I momma)
(You and I)
(I remember)
(Just you and I momma)
(You and I)
Shi, you know I love you son
It ain't only cuz I knew that you would shine like one
I'm so proud of you just look at all the good you've done
I'm blessed youre my creation though youre not my only one
I know you hurtin' still and I can see the pain in you
We been through alot of things but look we made it through
Because of you, momma did what she had to do
Out of love, for your life, you are living proof
I only made it through the dark because the light of you
One of the best days of my life was the birth of you, true

We were made in imagine but we mold
Open up your eyes or be led wit' the blind
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark yea
I put my faith in god and can you believe
I overcame all that was pressuring me
Stuck deep inside of the belly, the beast
I still knew who I was, who I wanted to be
Sayin the least
I'ma just keep it a rack
We been to hell and back, seeing light in tunnel
Hoping it don't fade to black
When you up against the odds
Could be hard believin' you could make it this far
But when you see potential then you start to raise the bar
Though the people in your life will have affect on who you are
Adding shuffle to your cards
You better watch who you fuck with, some'll ride wit'chu
And some'll see it a field trip, real shit
Uh, and finding me was do or die
Even though I can't swim, still I went against the tide
And the waves in the ocean so I could free my mind
Just a bit everyday and a day at a time
We were made in image but we mold our design
Open up your eyes or be lead with the blind
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
On your downfall so many that may be wishin'
They aint gotta block your shine in order to blur vision
Just a few distractions to take your eyes off the mission
One of many reasons some of my niggas end up in prison
Listen, similar roads we done been on
Pourin out the bottle for brothers we knew that been gone
So what you end up doin' life, will all depend on
If you wanna end up an achilles or agamemnon
Uh, in the place that we at
Your peace of mind they gon' try to take some of that
Come to face with the facts uh,
Only god knows
Whats in your heart you can see it with your eyes closed
Treasure it and you'll see that its all gold
Not meant to be corrected like a typo
Hit the gas on'em now I'm pressin on the nitro
Cuz I will never let the time go by
We were made in image but we mold our design
Open up your eyes or be lead with the blind
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
This is for your anatomy, this is for self mastery
This for the ones who back is where they been puttin' the battery
This be for those who dealt with the pain and all of the agony
This be for those who wanna fly regardless of gravity
This is for our humanity, this is for our morality
This is for those who broke the shackles off their mentality
This is for those who do all they can to change their reality
Keepin' up maintenance on their sanity
I just wanna see you
Shine, shine, shine
All my people
Shine, shine, shine
Cuz we all gotta
Shine, shine, shine
My brothers and my sisters if you hear me and you feel this
I just wanna see you
Shine, shine, shine
All my people
Shine, shine, shine
Cuz we all gotta
Shine, shine, shine
My brothers and my sisters if you hear me and you feel this
I just wanna see you
We were made in image but we mold our design
Open up your eyes or be lead with the blind
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
Shine, shine, shine
All my people
Shine, shine, shine
Cuz we all gotta
Shine, shine, shine
My brothers and my sisters if you hear me and you feel this
I just wanna see you
