[HOOK] This for all my people out there with the 9 to 5’s Tryna put it all together without a dime So they take another puff of that la, la, la Cause they tryna make it through put the stress aside If I should die before I break I pray the Lord to have my soul to take x3 [VERSE] I just wanna tell my people good night, good mourning I can see you in my dreams, just make an appointment When you see me on the track I’m tryna anoint it Give you something you can feel that’s been my anointment We been broken for a while I’m tryna adjoin it I know you want, so get to the point like a hornet I know it hurts, but it’ll be better by morning It doesn’t stop so listen we better get going So check it while you’re yawning I’m putting it in the speakers And fixing all of the plates so we can continue eating I’m bleeding from all the mess, and itching to be the best I guess I better stop scratching and ripping apart my flesh Gotta show you all of my fears break away from my demons And wipe away all of the tears Tryna get to man of the year been doing this for a decade I’m kicking another gear. [HOOK] [VERSE] I just wanna tell my people good day, good mourning And if you down to ride just know you important And I think about you every beat I’m importing May see me as a star but you are the Jordan See me recording numbers just know I’m not going under Cool as the dead of winter but hotter than 20 summers I got this without a gimmick so suck a cock and get with it Invented to be a menace society call me Dennis Every stereotype they tryna put me within it But hold up I’m not finished, I’m predetermined to win it And every time that I sleep I know my grandfather grinning Look at what he’s been doing tell Jesus buy me a ticket I gotta see when he get it, gotta see when he get it Gotta make it to that they finally see that he’s gifted They finally see he’s a legend and didn’t have to get lifted I gotta be there to witness the day he gets all his wishes [HOOK] [VERSE] I just wanna tell my people good day, no mourning And if I don’t make it to tomorrow I gotta be honest Don’t cry I know you’ll miss me, I know you’ll miss me But my point in being here is making history I’ll be here for a while Christ is with me And I’m only going forward like a Frisbee Before I bare it all like a grizzly I’m tryna get the bartender tipsy That’s saying I’m tryna reverse the roles Like a greedy ass kid I’m tryna take control From the phony ass majors who fiddling with their pagers Wanting some food and liquor but lately I’m seeing lasers Take another look you’ll see I’m dangerous I’m socially aware but nothing phase us My whiskey on the rocks but not the chasers Need something for the pain when they hate us [HOOK]

[INTRO] What you mean I ain’t working [HOOK] Lord know I ain’t perfect and I ain’t even worth it But listen the interior is stronger than the surface I put on for my city but hate is steady lurking Uh, what you mean I ain’t working. [VERSE: TJAY] Aiight, I cast my sins in the lake of fire I let go of kissing ass just to take me higher Because snakes will tell the truth when they’re on the wire Get from underneath my brand and let your ass expire Hard work, it don’t come easy neither does the fame I done read the books, I got the looks, I don’t complain. If you take this here for granted I can take your paddle. I’m a take the game back I’m in B.C. like Maddow I don’t care ain’t no battle, make this here official Like a missile I’m a blow up despite your issues Got no time to diss you, while I’m on my ginsu You thought my girl was thick? Walk up through my mental I’m just burning through these pencils since like 99 2004 I hit the door an elevated grind Fuck your college, fuck your job cause I know my purpose. What you mean I ain’t working?

Hook: Young, Menance, All about my business I'm a let you finish because I'm looking for a victim Pray, Witness, bars for every sentence I'm spitting with a vengeance because I'm about to get ignant, huh? Cuz this is what you wanted right? X2 Verse 1: I’m sitting, staring in this basement, you squares are not adjacent Because the way I cut this up got me sick of being patient And I’m searching for a placement, salty niggas always hating But this is motivation because for you I’m feeling “nathin” And 2 Dope Boyz ain’t gon blog my shit So I’m a wax the record give it all my dick And I’m serving turn tables so get off my tip And we are OTMMG’n until we all get rich In no way is this okay squeezing ass like its OJ I can’t afford a Jesus piece because I’m feeling kind of holey You don’t know me you jabroni, I genesis you owe me And I’m classic when I’m rapping you aint got nothing up on me I try to eat like Shoney’s I’m the topic of discussion I sharpened up my flows and got lethal on percussion I’m in need of Robitussin and a can of chicken soup I was never good at hoops yet I throw up over loops I’m talking, Hook: Verse 2: So I’m back up on my Martin Luther King, T.Jay got a dream But I’m feeling like my schools didn’t teach me anything So I’m looking for a come up and it’s just by any means I’ve been poor so damn long I’m adjusting to the fiends And them dope boys ain’t gon buy my shit Unless we hit the club and we all get lit And I’m serving turn tables so get off my tip And I’m OTMMG’n til we all get rich No way is this okay squeezing ass like its OJ Rules up out the window til I’m feeling like I’m Kanye Take this here to church til every day is Sunday And the media gon ask me why I date a Kelly Bundy One day y’all is gon mind y’all biz You better lock up your wife you better hide your kids I done made this song cuz we all gotta live God bless our souls when we all get rich, I’m a Hook: Bridge: x4 Shower my head, my cup runneth over x3 I done had so much communion that I’m finally getting sober

[HOOK] Here we go x3 Here we go again (x2) [VERSE] Uh, this is how we start a relationship Then one of us ends up making it shit But when it all started it was probably legit She just wanna turn up and party and shit And he just wanna think about parting your tits She wanna be a cowgirl riding that stick But life it ain’t no movie it’s mostly a trip I feel the DST and I’m wasted again Lord, lord only if you could see us Take your Ray Bans off and park your new, two-seater Put a quarter in meter and meet me here in my meter We too weakened and feeble don’t let the devil defeat us First dates to first love Batter, batter pitching at her with no glove There comes love, and then comes the baby Daddy rocking the cradle then daddy start acting crazy, oh no [HOOK] [VERSE] 50 dates at the park bench She not ready for cupid and he’s a marksman Keep in mind that he’s dark skinned The family ain’t acquainted with that dark man But color ain’t an issue for the heart man But somewhere there’s a spark they get it hot, damn Set aside the politics, abolishment It may not make a dollar but it makes some sense Lord, lord they ain’t ready for nice guys Some nice thighs will show themselves for the right ride It’s a Mustang and she just ready to night ride She’s one person then another in the night time The night line: she just hanging with girlfriends The truth is she hanging on to another man In the morning she hanging on to another hand But that brother is his brother same mother, damn. [HOOK] [VERSE] They say things change and grow apart He keep making her tears flood without an ark He keep turning to cold tin without a heart She keep turning to cold gin to spread apart So here they go, here they go They keep hoping over time there is a miracle Here they go, here they go They praying for love songs over spirituals Here we go x3 We make the merry go round look like a rollercoaster x2

Yovng 03:43
[Intro: WordPlay T.JAY] I'm gonna stop playing around with y'all Check. [Hook] You can't stop me because you're too sloppy You can't top me because there's no copies Of this young nigga x2 [Verse 1: WordPlay T.JAY] I feel like Deion Sanders running a 93 It reminds me of greatness which reminds me of me So not doing a damn thing reminds me of sleep I would grab me a pillow dude if I wanted to dream I got real ambition because I wanted the cream I'm not gonna be held up like you wanting a sling Couldn't match out my metaphors with your whole damn team I'm not going for half I want the whole damn thing So as I peak with precision, sleek with a domino vision Falling for perfect division, finna be known in a minute Got in my zone from beginning, R-R-Ride for my niggas Make a couple of hits so I provide for my niggas, Aiiight. Come out of nowhere you ain't even know it Thought I lost it you ain't even showing Give you dudes a chance and you didn't have to blow To catch up, what I'm doing? You ain't even growing. [Hook] [Verse 2] I used to sit in the classroom like kiss my ass I would watch my status go higher up like this won't last I would pull out my rhyme book so I look on task I would skip out on homework like fuck yo sash I'm not paying this ticket you can get off of my dash I'm not feeling this anymore so I'm skipping this class I had a blonde head girl with a big ol' ass She was loving a brother game so I'm gone smash. Done paying your escuela I'm moving to bigger data And itchin for my dinero, un poco, I'm irritated No rain & no irrigation my pockets are drying up Thinking I'll call Michelle I'll tell her to roll a blunt Then I snap out of it and go beast on the beat I'm the soul of a champion I go beast on defeat You ain't seen this side so what you know bout me? When the last bar done you put this bitch on repeat, now. [Hook] [Bridge x2] Dilla's my hero and Jesus my savior Pac is my principle & Biggie's my Mayor For this young nigga x2 [Verse 3] So as I peak with precision, sleek with a domino vision Falling for perfect division, finna be known in a minute Got in my zone from beginning, Ride for my niggas Make a couple of hits so I provide for my niggas, Aiiight. Come out of nowhere you ain't even know it Thought I lost it you ain't even showing Give you dudes a chance and you didn't have to blow To catch up, what I'm doing? You ain't even growing. [Hook]

Functions 04:42
[VERSE] Dwayne Wayne done stepped up in the building Only a boy like me could ever give this type of feeling Putting them to the ceiling, glasses of champagne spilling Only got a few dollars but I’m feeling like a million Good Lord, I’m looking for a girl with her bra off With tequila and some rock salt knocking shots off Like a sawed off, I gotta be around when it pop off Got a lot of apple like Motts sauce, it’s Mardi Gras on Adderall Spilling my drink I ain’t mad at all, I’m tipsy but I ain’t down to fall Got a lot of grind for the guap, can’t be stopped, putting it on for the Rock Taking this here to the top, put it in the watts, people like when he gon pop But I’m already on like YouTube not doing this here like you fools This ain’t nothing new dudes, just something you ain’t used to Matter fact I cause that urge, like the Holy Ghost at church I would chill that out not kill your route but I been this way since birth Make the car peel ain’t no beamers, my flow just hit patina I could prolly hit the scene up but I’m looking at arenas [HOOK] You don’t know the half, don’t even know the math I’m tryna keep these haters here from stepping in my path So don’t complicate the function, yeah don’t complicate the function x2 [VERSE] Spread my music like church to 10 or 10,000 And all I do is work, I don’t give a damn about lounging You can pour it up like fountains swimming pools we drowning Hood niggas say 300 but I’ve always been 1000 And these wack ass raps about this, about that And the Billboard shit like, crap, crap crap Wanna hate on me better kiss my sack Better leave my track, cause the king is back What it do my dude? I’m a boss and I approve In a better mood, incredible, third eye is on and you better move Trading in hoes for a better boo, no twerking on my pedestal Cause it’s high up here, see the sky up here it’s a better view Look at me I’m better too, longer, faster, stronger Scoring it like a bonus with cuts better than bologna Believe we going ham, flood the streets like my dam All the dudes here like lambs just sticking to the trends But the feeling is here, you got nothing to fear, I’m the man of the year And I’m taking the tier, it’s not under my eye but I’m looking at cheers And I’m killing it yeah. [HOOK] [VERSE] Got the angel on my shoulder but a demon to my right Thank Jesus in the morning but I need him here tonight Cause the Holy Ghost might hold me I don’t see him in my sight Cause the hate is in my light, get the fuck up out my life And dip my head up in the water so my focus can go further Ask the father for my charter, I might just be a martyr Put the power in my words, like the Holy Ghost in church I would chill this out not kill your route, but I’ve been this way since birth And you may not know my motives but quotas they can’t control us No quarters my shits in order, looking to break some borders You don’t know the half about me, til I give you all the stories You a common name Ortiz, I’m rare and making it bleed Cause even if I flop, the picture still don’t crop I’m building up my stock, and growing through the rocks Cause my vision is clear and I aim for the top, and I take you to school But I’m keeping the block, and I’m stacking them up and you never can knock So watch as I pop, bow.

Roots 05:08
[INTRO] Can I tell you a story? It don’t matter I’m gonna tell you anyway [VERSE: TJAY] I met this girl she living in Astoria It’s funny that’s in Queens and she’s Victoria She asked why I’m the only guy ignoring her I said because I’ll probably end up boring her She told me never judge her by her cover Since especially nobody seems to love her I told her that I’m sorry you got pretty eyes She told me how she always falls for city guys but they don’t ever listen they just wanna turn up she ain’t met one yet that ever wants to earn her they always in a hurry and never seem to worry and how she wanna make love get it hot like curry I said come back to Brooklyn show you where I stay I got an extra pillow next to me to lay Tune into some slow jams listen to them play And then I dig you out until the light of day. [HOOK: TJAY] x2 She said she like it slow so she don’t wanna turn up Turn up x2 (She stuck within her roots) [BRIDGE] She said she want it deep, she can’t get enough She so grounded tryna dig her up x2 [HOOK] [VERSE] So now we down in BK way beneath the covers A flick comes from her lighter she inhales and then she hovers One finger on the button, add some pressure, make her shudder We not discussing marriage but tonight is for the lovers Lay it nice and easy, something like a putter This the perfect moment cause I’m always in the gutter She whisper in my ear, she loves the way I touch her She said it’s been a while so she’s feeling kind of flustered X2 I’m deep beneath her roots, it’s nourishing She like the way I beat and let the chorus in She’ll be back to Brooklyn, she knows just where I stay I got an extra pillow so she can come back here to lay Tune into some slow jams and listen to them play Then I dig her out until we see the light of day. [HOOK]x 2

Good 03:24
[VERSE] Let’s put all the dark niggas in the back of the store Backwards we go, 400 years impacting the flow And while they all the moving backwards I happen to grow And they see my black face and then they act on the low Judging my integrity while I’m tryna gain prosperity And looking at my rarity and couldn’t bark at my pedigree That malice there ain’t fair to me How can you read a single person from their family tree They damaged me picture T.Jay when they see defeat Jumped every hurdle see a winner when you go to sleep These devils can’t hold me back, these niggas can’t say I’m wack These people don’t know my craft, and this nigga don’t owe you crap That statement there, right there’s a fact Cause every year I never slack Remember that cause next year is coming I’m thinking 10 years down the road and that means I’m running [HOOK] They see where I’m going, going, going, going … And I’m never going back, back, back, back… x2 [VERSE] Let’s put all the dark music at the back of the store Backwards we go, 400 years impacting the flow They look at hip hop like its black as a crow But won’t blame another genre for the women they hoe Taylor Swift can sell her image make a fat girl woe And George Bush can sell a gun and make the building explode We just tell it how we see it let the story unfold And my cultures full of crap, yet politicians are gold? These devils can’t hold me back and these niggas can’t say I’m wack These people don’t know my craft, and this nigga don’t owe you crap Our days are much worse than rap Don’t blame us then not know the facts I’m here for those that need a helping hand Middle finger to the ones that never understand I’m just a man displaying all my weaknesses It’s not my fault that you can’t see where all the demons live [HOOK] [VERSE 1 OUTRO]

Going Back 03:43
11.
[HOOK] Life is but a dream I hope I wake up tomorrow x3 Praying to the Lord to take me away from this sorrow BKGD: Where do we go [VERSE] Last summer up in VA, I had this MDMA She said she had a boyfriend who’s coming down the freeway I said is that too quick girl? She said lets skip the foreplay Talked about last semester, I said college it bores me That’s when I had this feeling, that life is just some circles When I tried my hardest they called this nigga Erkel Why I work so hard for? Stay moving like it’s parkour TJay get an ice pack you’re bruising up those bars boy Nothing less but far more but still this shit be hardcore People tell me down boy they see my race like Al Gore You see that double meaning that’s what I need my crown for They try to keep me down for my skill and for my talent Knocking me off balance, but I haven’t looked around since My grandpa left me lonely and dealing with this pressure Instead I see a challenge and I take it like my pleasure [HOOK] [VERSE] It was just a dream to be on the television If you knew my dreams you’d see I have hella visions Lately though my angel been taking an intermission I hope I understand and focus my own ambition I can’t tell you when but something is about to happen Cause Jesus knows my plan is much bigger than rapping This cruise is finna take off, I got no time for ‘laxing Push away distractions and put out words like captions Ain’t no looking back since, can’t hear you like an accent No I cut no slack bitch, over your head like back flips Holding like a tight grip and never letting go Even when I feel weak I never let It show Some people try to hold on and never let me grow And I have done some things some people will never know So I’m praying to the father to open the doors before To show the whole world that they can never ignore me.
12.
[Verse ] Woke this morning Biggie Smalls was on the speakers Just one of those days like nothing can defeat us Put Proffit on the drums so you fools can’t beat us We stay making hits, yes, something like Jeter And looking for some Franklins nothing like Aretha And feeling real nice eating breakfast from my diva Before I hit the door I lace my high top Adidas Say hello to the world like Wal-Mart greeters And I just got paid pockets fatter than Peter Griffin Bass lower than a creeper so, Ha, Ha, Ha Ha Ha check out this bizarre Bumping nothing but the classics from the trunk of my car There is no reasonable doubt I’m about to blow the speakers out And you can’t knock my hustle we gone always be on route On the road to success and once again it’s nothing less My day just doesn’t start without Chris Wallace on the deck yes [Hook] I don’t need no Beamer, Benz, or the Bentley That kind of stuff isn’t in me I live my life simply Commercial dudes are funny comic like Ziggy All I need is breakfast while I’m listening to Biggie Cause all they do is party and bull SHHHH I’m like man can we listen to some music I ain’t hating I just take it to the pulpit It’s been a long time and I’ve been praying for some newness [Verse] I wake up once a week with Born Again on repeat I’m reciting figure speech cause these other poets weak And it didn’t take them long cause they hating what I’m doing I see the way they roam and they hate that they’ve been ruined You can go to KEV and record you’re little single But I make the booth numb and you’re trying to make it tingle What’s beef? I’m a ask you to proceed In a man I fear not because everybody bleeds You couldn’t match our grind if you had tracing paper We’ve gotten this far along ain’t asking for no favors Last time I checked we’re on the rise like vapors Boys be swag surfing when they needing life savers Ain't making songs no more they’re just tryna chase a dollar Do not disturb because these cats just shouldn’t bother Nothing like the U of A but I take these fools to college I prefer your study guide to be the late Chris Wallace, Holler [Hook] [Verse] By the end of the night I lace my high top Nikes And while I’m getting fresh I’m listening to the Frank White I said on Chris Farley that we’d be a little tardy But now that we’re here we gone move some girl’s bodies Cause my ladies in the Rock love to sip on some Ciroc And the chicks up on the hill keep the Goose on chill And why they can’t listen to your junk it’s so apparent How you get so incoherent, she keeps my CD blaring And this is what happens to MC’s when they work at Mickey D’s And spend their whole check on a set of 23’s You might want to save up because rapping ain’t gone pay ya Cause if I rhymed like that then I prolly been done gave up Sitting at the top my Lord keeps pressing page up And watching rhymers backspace we insert our flavor We’re getting our return and your numbers on lock Shifting Big SHHH, putting classics on the box, YUP [HOOK]
