Quit my job then the next day got locked up All because I was black with Marijuana, In Arizona He had no reason to pull me over I'm from where these cops be doing what they wanna 5 days in jail, never thought of going there Only black boy, hitting my push ups for the suspicious Couldn't wait to get out, eat something delicious Until then these meals got me malnutritioned Still took time to thank Jah, I ain't lying I was praying I would get out Read a book, celly turned into my OG He told me when I get released I got a place to sleep Finally free in time to watch the sunset Cold Corona & Lime he was Mexican His daddy passed a fatty, felt nice to smoke weed again Or better yet to have my freedom man..

It's been months since I finally had to let it go Full time with my music now on the road Told my co workers better know your worth Cause Jah didn't making you to waste time on Earth Can I get an Ahmen if you understand What your life is, or your passion Whatever that is, make it happen Cause its time for that action! Still relaxing on lukewarm evenings, sippin & hittin the herbal and tea With good head I can get some good sleep If not that, late nights working on dreams We all got something that keeps us going, no matter the motive Accomplish them goals and notice how life has became so golden Growing with the flowin Never give up, just keep believing Self motivation is key when all you got is your pride and a chance to be living life Don't take for granted, take advantage of the minutes and the seconds In due time, you'll be fine Just gotta reach out, let them wings sprout Finally time to give in some light to our dreams now Diamond in the dirt, it don't really matter where you're from Mother Nature, all these resources that she gave us Wanna thank yah, really wanna thank yah Got a list of appreciations Grateful for them collie buds and that California sun I can taste it when I'm smoking some, wash it down with some water yum Don't take much to be natural, first thing I look for in a girl Curls are a plus but you just gotta open your third eye Get like a bird, just fly

It be like Hey Hey Hey, smoke weed everyday Word to the dogg Nate, tokin the bud in your name and for my brother mane Ever since I been old enough, I've been rollin stuff Sculpted some of the coldest ones, taught myself how to roll a blunt Rarely fuck with flavors in swisher and if it is grape It be taking me back to them heatwave days Dubs & Up Club, dimes have never been my taste I like a natural gal that can face an 8th Who would of known I would be blown for so long Haven't a day gone by, that I ain't been high Must of smoke up 50 racks if not that 50 packs Stating statistical facts for you almanac Wouldn't trade those days so sunny for no large sum of money Hitting up my nigga P and Will, for the dankest tree Hook it up cause a brotha came regularly Fattest baggy every-time that I ever done seen It opened the gateway to them other things, who would of known whats next Some promethazine in my cup, better be purple yes Started to sweat when I first felt that ecstasy Seeing melodies is something that I'm mastering Cross faded in my video Pass The Tea Only young once so I gotta try these things We done smoke blunted dripped out in hella lean Epiphanies from the 8th of shrooms inside of me I learned you treat others like you want to be Especially with your body cause your mind just be thinking I'm trying to get dummy high when it comes by the weekend If its yellow from peeing, some water I'm drinking After sipping all day last night, full of warm brew All I'm in the mood to do, is smoke a doob With an ice cold glass, that shit sound cool It's ritual dawg, I'll always stay true Okay lets begin, turned into a hustler on 10/10/10 at 10pm First time a dub landed in my hand for a gram Last worry that I had about being broke again Quality over quantity, with everything this is my policy Tell me what you think about this beat? Spitting more flavor than polly seeds Might as well shout out that Long Beach Dispensaries on every street searching for the perfect bag of leaves Kinda like heaven in Lala landa Was never to care much, it came and went bruh Till the rent comes, moved back to Vegas Started with an half oz and some elbow grease Fast forward a couple months now I'm on the 15 Gliding south, passenger seat is my QP Could of been a cutie but they usually do the wrong producing At the end of the day, it's Mary Jane I'm choosing

It's like Christmas in the middle of July Got sweat in my eye, frosty OG nuggets I'm puffin like fuck it in public I get em off in a dozen or dub em Keep this undercover It's bad enough the temperature be heat pressing a brotha Smooth as Pam on a pan in motion with some butter My tree be stick icky my niggie your weed be iffy Been smoked out from NorCal to San Diego Living in Vegas be slanging pack not even days old Next thing you know your stash be hella crusty Talking a lightweight wooh out of the swisher type dusty You throw your bucks at me guaranteed you'll get the ooh wee Who needs receipts? They'll come returning back running In 1998 we herd that Ice Cream coming Years later brought a new meaning to the servin Was taught the game from scarface and then I learned it One thing is for certain, my pocket ain't hurting There's a legend they call me Candyman Cause every I see my friends, I be on a different strand Keeping em guessing, don't ask me questions Through this bag smell that herbal essence Don't come to me if you're worried about the measurements Thinking ahead of when clientele wants to make a sell Throw em the 2 for 1 deal, the assortment is ill From Private Reserved, Sour dizzle da doughty dour I'm 24/7 but don't respond at crack hours Late night get getting high on own supply I'm good on profit, done with doing bank deposits Easier to open shoe boxes in closets Plus I could transfer anytime, and won't receive a fine Homie you gone live yours then I'm gon live mine Including packs of swisher when constantly in packs they pick up Good business is best business in this I will trust Cause I use to be that young nigga you remember?

My Lady 03:50
She knew me before I was hustling The bucks spent don't mean nothing Drug money, turned me hungry Traveling, still haven't found where love is But when back out in Vegas or do you know where LA is? From south side of the both of them Don't get it twisted I'm so local fam Known for spittin flows while flipping grams Anything to make this music jam All these girls that I've done been through and still haven't dated Mexican Done lived up in Carson my whole damn life If there's one thing I've learned they gon treat you right It don't really matter, bring em laughter Guaranteed she keep me pleased Rub her knees while smoking tree By the beach, baby swear that's just what the world means Who am I to disagree, down to earth she be keeping me Leaving never seemed, hand got a tight squeeze from the back pocket jeans It's a bittersweet feeling b, I gotta swim by the fish in the sea Was bound to drizzound until I found out the one that'll be down for me And that she shows, done already known about them hoes on the road But fuck em though Never made love to a nympho Something about this girl got me going I ain't even knowing love is blind Why you I think I pick you up Every time she see a player rollin by Spending time is just enough, cause she know a nigga steady on his grind Take it fast as she wanna we gonna be alright Watching the skyline Under the moonlight Hotboxing my old ride Don't nobody want to be lonely when they hit 70 Maybe that's why all my high school peers started early with the settling I'm chillin man, like really cooler than a ceiling fan Couple years of being player then.. Guess that I'll be joining them Still until the search over, a wild goose I chase If I had dollar for everytime I.. Fell for the ass and face Would probably pull up in a CLK instead taking hoes on a date Is it really this difficult to find a good soul within a mate? Can I leave my money around the house Are you trippin that I'm flipping pounds? All my exes see my vision now Left out and I ain't even one to pout It was just last night had to say goodbye to a dime She was so damn fine but had nothing going on in her mind What's goin on in these times? Could it be me who be slippin on my pimpin Need to be more gentlemen toward these women Can't live without em, and can't live with em Never doubt a real nigga, who is truly down to deal witcha Believe it when they say a good girl is worth a thousand of them funky bitches

In the middle of what you're doing Do you ever just stop and think That we did not have to be here It could of been you or me Stuck under rocks, snug in a box Tornado on top praying to stop the chaos Earthquakes make Tsunamis and theres still after the shock That what we had is truly lost Condolences, you know know how hard it is to lose what your heart was in then expect to be alright again? I'm over here fighting for a better vibe within While theres brothers killing others trying to protect their kin Bloody hands from them politicians, my opposition is that the people run this shit instead Last night on the news 100,000 dead Before I go to bed, up in my head I gotta say it I'm Thankful Just to be right here I'm Blessed To live the life that I live So Humble For everything received indeed Nevertheless You ain't gotta ask Ima give it back, with love & peace Verse 2: I thank God for the blessings, over the years I wonder If it wasn't for this music, Ill be laying down under Full of hunger and pain, my blood boils when I'm focused Hopeless or not, you're joking when you say its hip-hop Been on the blocks seeing killers pulling triggers for weight Feeling mistakes, flipping rocks into bigger estates I kill um ' with faith, more than less, I been a dreamer like BIG I been a poet like PAC, spitting stories I live Its the balance and the paper, gotta get it! Never foolish Cause these cold hearted streets can leave your body with some bullets Rest in power to my brother, now he's living in my spirit Filled with guidance in my lyrics, your inspired just to hear it Hold up.. see now I got you in my pocket How many millionaires you seen with a surenge in a socket? Obvious, your blessings are the reasons your alive Im like God and the Prophets, born to Spiritualize.. Blessed Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this I keep in mind as I get older No point in looking back yonder cause all that shit is behind Take a thought and just wonder if we were moving with time There'd be no room for emotion, You would get on with your life To get ride of the bullshit gotta get over your pride The world is only so big with limited time on our side As the hourglass drips, just thankful I'm alive I'm in my spirits to each his own on your religion Long as righteous living is fitted somewhere in description All this light I'm given I'm gonna give it back to children Cause "Trix" ain't for them kids you silly rabbits National Geographic, let me tell you what happened Sea Turtle eggs crackin, with no mommy or daddy Or form of protection, just sense of direction But they knew they were destined, towards them waves crashing

All Alone 04:02
Now there she goes, there she goes Whipping around that pole, with a skin tone pure gold Radiant soul, a lady in those stilettos From the Vegas valley, no not the meadows Central attention goes to her Thunder claps when she goes to work Predicting potential storms will occur These bitches is hating because shes first They drizzle a little but now it pours Had noticed the DJ done played her song For the C-Note, it could be yours In the midst of the city where the sky is black Pimps, Hoes, Players but theres more to that Pay a little dough and we can go to the back Slipped in my pocket gotta stop from all these skeezers at my profits They don't see what I'm watching, she stares at me in the darkness Juicy J, on a late nite tip this place would of seem to be haunted But nope, just smelling like coke in the air And it's full of no hope in here Had to scoot close, get near Left right to the right left, bubble butt with some nice breast She don't wanna live like this, look when her eyes drift My ear she whip-kissed don't get it twisted ain't looking for love That what they all say, answer one thing.. then why you in this club? Cruising down that 15 south Crack of morning, sun scorching, finna just leave town Had filled my tank and then got a ring All she had to say is she'll do anything Perpetual sexual innuendoes lead to a black hole With really no need for the capital, she just want me to be down to roll Then vamanos, your P he Be some Jelly (PB&J) Myself? Don't need nobody but in the long run a King breeds with a Queen We done drove so far along the road, didn't take long with the stories told To unfold.. why both of our hearts are cold She showed me scares from home when she was only 9 years old Mama Medusa stoned so what was the point of screaming NO When these niggas was buzzed, from there on she took an oath To never devour a drink while I seen my mom fall to them stoges As you live & grow and its in with the new & out with the old You'll never be far from you roots, the truth is thats all that you know Full of them woes she can't control, told me to pull the shoulder When you wanna leave, but you cannot stay.. Internally its never over
