Yo! The Places You'll Go Lyrics:
Speech
Verse 1:
7 pounds 6 1/2 ounces/In the flesh/Pure fresh/My annoucement/On the 16th of June/I assume/The moon bowed down/The heavens made room/For a new star/Same blood/Of those who found hope up North/Strange love/Made me a product of divorce/By age 4/I could hold down fort/Tents out of blankets/Saw pops on the weekends/These custody arrangements/America the plaintiff/Dark pigment/Makes most defendants/Crime lords lose they religion/It's hard to keep a drive/When you got a DUI/The vowels of life/Can have you stuck on the why?/Forgive me Lord/I owe you an explanation/Why I had them waiting oh so long/Now the whole world finna sing my song/C'mon
Chorus:
Yo! The places you'll go
It's the places you'll go
(Repeat 4x)
We bout to go right now!

Gatekeeper Lyrics
Chrous:
This is the tale of a hero/A man amongst boys/Slick with the tongue girl/I taste you get moist/Make bodies shake/Feel the Spirit/Joyful Noise/24 hours 7 days/It's a choice/Ni**as better work it out/These bi**hes getting personal/All open/Caught up in the moment/We the owners/Get rid of all you jokers/Holding keys/Wait till you get a load of me/Yeah Ni**gas/Wait till you goet a load of me/I keep going (repeat 6x) (Scream!!!)
Verse 1:
Glad to reach an altitude/Where everybody's comfortable/To bad it's at a height/Where air mask ain't fully functional/Started off a humble dude/Ideas ignite/Then it took flight/Easing off of free lunch/Cheesing on lunchables/Forever bully ni**gas with bullets/Permanently wedged in they underroos/Came out the womb to win/Pitying grown men/Born to lose/The blind lead the blind/Wonder why they don't see it/A child of The King/By His Blood/ I had to be it/Been walking on water/Only fear can make me sea sick/In a city full of heathens/Hoes popping for a nigga/Gangster for a g-list/Damn I wanna lick her/Hope she hears my olde english/Walk a fine line/Between insanity and genius/May utter/Shit that's gutter/For a mother/To say you fucker/My son became a cutter/Cause he ain't slick with the stutter/As you is
Chrorus (1x)
Verse 2
Been on the planet/To manage/To see the famished/Get handed/A knuckle sandwich/Big brother on the antenna/Anti-Christ/Splice skin for the scanner/Basic instructions before leaving Earth/God's sons better man up/Bet you know/In the U.S./I'm more UFO/Like hillbillies abducted in Montana/Go lamp in French Guyana/Cooling in a hammock/Next to a chick/Her hips/Riper than bananas/A picturesque mistress/Hanging on my words cause its canon/Blueprint/Is too legit for bullshit/Niggas wanna flash the hammer/I'm a planter/Not working for no peanuts/Flow is nuptial/Biters lose in a prenup/Walk a fine line/Between insanity and genius/The instant vintage/Um/F*ck your opinion/My two cents/Colder than Finland/Start frenching your girl/Then cuss you out in Finnish/Ni**as
Chrorus (1x)

words sung in Arabic
My ni**a needs keys to the city tho!
Verse 3
Dearly beloved/Gather for the matrimony/Raise a fist/Slap the Police/If they flased on your domepiece/Brutality is a fee/Ghetto stuck on the sublease/Released from Twin Towers within hours/Hoodies hide/The pride of homies/99 cent from stashing work/In they chonies/Lead the sheep to slaughter/Cells be the cloning/It's gone take more than a dolly/To lift a nig's polly/Ain't no stopping/What I'm clocking/Watch me tick/More than time on Tourettes/Sets wanna trip/But I ain't into losing steps/New car smell/Slippers don't touch on reupholstered/From CEOs to soldiers doing Folsom/They see that I'm chosen//Walk a fine line/Between insanity and genius/gifted versus conviently wrapped/packaged for consumption/Herpes infected/Is the only way you bumping/Suckers

Rattrap Lyrics
Chorus:
Everyday is a test/When you strive to succeed/It's a challenge/Trying to balance/All your wants and your needs/So many ways/That will lead you to the greed/Trapped up in the maze/Getting dazed/For the cheese/And/I got homies in the rat trap/Sh*t/My ex girl's in the rat trap/What/I got fam in the rat trap/And I don't want to get caught up
Verse 1 (F.Y.I.):
Excuse me if I'm bugging out/Believe me/I'm a do the right thing/They tried to copy my skin/Ain't found the right ink/Shaved the stresses in my life/Put the stubble in the sink/Some huddle in the street/Just to get a quarter back/The troubled young geek found the answers in the trash/More robbing less giving/To get ahead of the class/Gold diggers don't mind if you focus on the a*s/Most niggas that rhyme/Don't get boatloads of cash/And that's a fact/It ain't the end all to be all/Putting it together/Like a blind man/Working a jigsaw/Truly it's puzzle/Little homie at the drive thru/Said something/But his voice sound muffled/He want to tongue tussle/With a model from Brussels/I'm telling you cousin/The trap never was joke/To get out/Is the realest sh*t/I ever hoped
Chorus (1x)
Verse 2 (F.Y.I.):
Dead or alive/He's 135/Soaking wet/Storms of life/Had him fighting the tides/Dumb luck/Foolish pride/Got dirty laundry smelling moldy/Beefing with him team/It seems/He's venomous as Kobe/Redeemed hustler/Quick to say/Homie don't you owe me?/Little mama is 5/Daddy no ride/He cried as she asked for pony/It's a merry go round/Of the lost not found/In a world so controlling/Sell or spam/Sh*t/Some forget to be promoted/Digital Age/The grown is deleted/Two tylenols/From not waking up/From the evening/This young money world/Wheezing/Seeing pools of red/Hadiya (Pendleton)/Drowned in her bleeding/Hard to smile in the trap/When you desperate for the cheesing/Bread scarce around my way/Might jack a paid vegan/You are what you eating/Baby steps/To get out of debt/I guess we all teething
Chorus (1x)
Verse 3 (Early):
Many fell off the deep end/Trying to get the gwap/You not satisfied with the boat/So now you want the yacht/See/Now you gambling/Rolling dice/Yahtzee/But you should be happy with what you got/You could have a canooe/For bread that will never mold/And cheese that will never melt/You bartered the ultimate/You sacrified yourself/It's in my blood/I gotta fight/I gotta hustle nigga/I'm out here opening doors/You can't knock my hustle nigga/I took risk/I rather slit my wrist/Then take a hit/My uncle fell ill/To the ills of the streets/I know/But I'm immune/I'm fly/I'm dope/I listen close to my nigga/I hope he got the antidote/So we all get a rope/Either a lasso around your goals/Or hang if you don't/It's either sink or swim/So put your chips in/Only you can win/But no rat trap/Big enough/To catch a hueman

King Technology Lyrics:
The time has come for America to hear the truth (Martin Luther King Jr. speech excerpt)
Verse 1:
Fellow huemans lady huemans Ameri-blacks
This is F.Y.I.
I want to talk to you about one of our most deadly killers in the world today
I had a vision the other night as I was posted in my living room
As I zoned out, I started dreaming
I dreamt I walked in a place
I saw lights flashing, screens blinking, words being typed by the minute
And I found out it was technology
That deadly drug that goes in your brain
He said I came to this world for the sake of man's ego
Ever since then I been worshipped by the people
My little black microchips boost ships into space
Within seconds information is replaced
I'm a world of power, yes, all of its true
Use me now and you'll know it too
I can make a wimp kid be a cyber bully
I can make a preacher forget his faith fully
I can make a husband cheat on his wife
Send a pedophile to prison for the rest of his life
I can make a man revolt on-line
Televised burning of flags
Make girls sell they bodies for likes and hashtags
Some think my invention is the definition of evolve
But I'll teach you how to make and distribute the next school bomb
In cell phone cases I found my way
From player palaces to cells upstate
I'm made in Asia, consumed in the West
Respected worldwide where men will invest
I take my addicts and make them happy, angry, cry
Then they search for a blog to show they suicide
So be you white, yellow, black, or Mex
I can make heterosexual high schoolers confused about they sex
So now, now homeboy, you go on, play that role
Keep logging on to your favorite page
To you lose your soul
Now delusion is taking you from under my wing
You like to read about conspiracies of the Illuminati
Now you sitting there, in a chair, blank stare
Where you got your attention for hours without a care
Some is spoiled, comfortable, got fat, lazy
Rather live in a made up world, then live in a real one, it's crazy
Cursing each other, texting foul speech
You can send any drunk thought when you in my button's reach
Now you in the comfort of your own home
You became a czar to your destiny
Fear not young man or woman, I'll be there when you lonely
Don't be afraid, don't run, I won't crash
Sure my name is technology, you'll see that I'm moving fast
Trust, you're hooked, your foot is on the pedal
Hurry up, step on the gas, and ride him cruising
For the digital car of technology will ride you to confusion
Confusion
Will ride you to confusion
Until you are lost (Amen), lost brother,lost
This is a revolution of the spirit
Get your mind unplugged
And go live for real
That's the plan

ONLY ONE I GOT TOO LYRICS
Chorus:
Excuse us Lord for the way that we live/It's hell fighting for heaven/Through the trials and tribs/Seen it all/Bout to fall/Sh*t is hard/When you tired/I mean tired/But f*ck it/I'm a map it out/Live another day/F*ck it/I'm a grind it out/Find another way/When it's all said and done/I feel like the only one/But I got too/I just got too

Verse 2:
He in 9th grade/All A's/Proud nerd/Introvert/Few friends/Quiet/Reserved/A stand out/Wearing big brother's hand me downs/6-7 super awkward/not a stranger to the gossip/Had an eye for one girl Autumn/A crush that rose from concrete/He thought love would've blossomed/Damn she too popular/He hung with agnostics/Black goth kids in Compton/(Man) the hood wouldn't sponsor/He posted responses/The lunch line ni**as yelling out weirdo/For a year bro/Sometimes he wished he banged/Instead of liking fangs/A lost soul/Screaming change/Like we back in '08/Like it's Colgate/He put the steel/In his grill/This a cold fate/Would his people miss him?/Become trending topic?/Get a picture at the bottom of the year book/Light gone/Candle dim/Whoosh

Bridge:
How can I live when the pain doesn't go away
I'm closer and closer and closer to fading
Caught myself all out there living my life just living my lie
How can I live closer to fading
