Kenneth English Verse One: So many pictures in my iPhone, thinking bout this flight home Finally turned the mic on, my head feel like a cyclone Them people calling my phone, feeling like I'm Mike Jones I'm locking in this tight zone, I just need some wine dawg I said that I was finished, aid that when I was finished At least I can admit, being sober made me different Even nowadays I don't even drink like that Gotta keep the signal super clear so I can think right back Link right back, so I keep the conversation going I'll be right back, gotta keep the nominations flowing Mother nature know I got this, yea her ovulations’ going Never thought that I would make it, so I gotta make it home We gotta take the throne, wonder what we waiting on? If they never heard "The States." guess we gotta make it known This the basement zone, Ain't no takin breaks, nikka less we breaking off the phone Always been unique cause they can't make us into clones Hook: I'm still dreaming, wishing I can have it all huh I'm still thinking bout the day that I get called up People pressing on my line, but I won't falter I'm still dreaming about the day that I could ball bruh... I'm still dreamin, yeah I'm still dreamin', I'm still dreamin', yeah I'm still dreamin' I still mean it, yeah, I still mean it We still need it, yeah we still need it… Verse Two You was war ready, nikka I was born ready I been dreaming thru my nightmares like I was born Freddy Shoutout to my exes, always felt like they was more petty Stronger foundations said I gotta keep my core ready Building up a plan, while I'm building up some bands Need to see the fans in the stands, playing jams, making grands Waving hands, saying lyrics to the cam while we land if you thinking out the box, you gotta take the fuckin’ chance We was playing empty shows cause we had the least fans But we never fell off track, just had to replan It's like we built a dope beach but we was using cheap sand Learning from the trials and the frowns, now this the rebrand Used to smile at the sun, now we the ones it smiles on So I guess I'm riding with my brothers til the tires gone They could never take our drive over, less' the fire gone We the type to keep that heat on, until the sirens gone…on… Hook: I'm still dreaming, wishing I can have it all huh I'm still thinking bout the day that I get called up People pressing on my line, but I won't falter I'm still dreaming about the day that I could ball bruh... I'm still dreamin, yeah I'm still dreamin', I'm still dreamin', yeah I'm still dreamin' I still mean it, yeah, I still mean it We still need it, yeah we still need it… I'm still dreaming, wishing I can have it all huh I'm still thinking bout the day that I get called up People pressing on my line, but I won't falter I'm still dreaming about the day that I could ball bruh... I'm still dreamin, yeah I'm still dreamin', I'm still dreamin', yeah I'm still dreamin' I still mean it, yeah, I still mean it We still need it, yeah we still need it…and I’m gone…

Chorus: On that kindness and that love I notice that you grinding, but do you give your mind a hug? Got it out the dirt but they still be sipping mud Tryna make this shit go up, it’s been all about the love …Tryna focus on that kindness and that love I notice that you grinding, but do you give your mind a hug? Got it out the dirt but they still be sipping mud Tryna make this shit go up, it’s been all about the... Verse: Ain't about you being seen, it’s about you seeing things Ain’t about you needing green, it’s about you being free Learning bout some decencies, while teaching thru my frequencies This life ain’t always sweet to me but still I find the peace to breathe Beneficial existential, helping others, seeking me Affecting mental, referential, paint the world, complete the dream Where is the inception? a starting points’ corrections We speak without inflections, then we lose upon directions The moneys' burning hole in wallets, dog us like Gromit Then we ball just like Wallace, problem is we gotta stop it Looking for the gold in your soul, you need some polish That ain’t nothing but applying all the knowledge that you’ve spotted You ain’t been around the bottom, you won’t know just where the top is Higher self has been a baby, but it’s time that you adopt it So just remain yourself, but spread the love and keep it honest Help whoever has been watching, making progress, never stopping Chorus: On that kindness and that love I notice that you grinding, but do you give your mind a hug? Got it out the dirt but they still be sipping mud Tryna make this shit go up, it’s been all about the love …Tryna focus on that kindness and that love I notice that you grinding, but do you give your mind a hug? Got it out the dirt but they still be sipping mud Tryna make this shit go up, it’s been all about the......love Verse Two (Amar Miller): Been love deprived (Love deprived) I more than shine (More than shine) I’m growing leaves (Growing leaves) Now all the time (All the time) If love is blind (Love is blind) Close your eyes (Close your eyes) I see Heaven in your mind Can I get a little time With your heart, I know it’s safe yeah I can heal your soul, and I promise I don’t play fair Flora of your form, wanna get lost inside your maze here I can really love you while I spend the rest my days here

And that don't mean they dead but they missing out... Hard to really explain what this feelings' bout They claim the pandemics' over but it's still a drought I'm finna show all my nikkas what a million bout... And all of my past dreams, I'm finna live it out And all of this motivation you can come get it now... Missing when I'd see my mother really really smile She still does, not physically but she living now... And since I murder beats, am I a killer now? I think I'm still a child Gimme the seafood rice, but can I get it mild? I need a couple shrimp rolls for the feeling now I'm Peter Parker, got me climbing out the building now Spiritually I'm so high, I'm tryna make the ceiling clouds Chorus: Holding backs' for cowards I think about this moment every hour Even while I'm cleansing in the shower Holding backs' for cowards Finally I'm tapping in my power I'm first, I'm turning seconds into hours (ours) Holding backs' for cowards I'm finna scream this shit out even louder I think about this moment every hour Holding backs' for cowards Finally I'm tapping in my power I'm first, I'm turning seconds into hours (ours) Holding backs' for…

Verse: Either at peace or in pieces, there's no in between So I been stretching out the flows like a limousine I got em coming outta pocket like a dentist fee Until it all line up, cause life is symmetry Throw a flag, get attacked, cause that's the penalty Of being in the wrong place in Cali, better let em B Or let em C, either way you never reach Nowadays these bitches be birds and I just let em free And you don't let em breathe, you need to earn some better cheese Drinking wine mixed with tea, Searching for inner peace Used to wear my heart out like pendant, now it's up my sleeve Told you that I'm going underwater like a submarine Think I got my buzz back, like laying on a hunnad bees If you don't want it, you don't want it, but don't come for me All they do is throw him shade like he laying under trees Punching thru this may weather, looking for my money team Hook (2x): Time is ticking and I'm running outta time Trynna find my way out, I been waiting on a sign The vision has been clear, but it's plenty on mind Searching for inner peace, I know that it's all inside Verse Two: Used to live in the valley, so used to being under peaks Remember when I landed here, I said that I would never leave Now I'm looking at some other places til my money reach Fighting thru the pain, I been drained, it gets fucking deep They always got something to say, you mine as well go do your thang Money isn't everything but make sure that you choosing change Growing through the fluent flames' the only way to move the pain Take some time away from screens, find some nature, renew your brain Family over everything, cause you can't win when family feuds Play the game to change the game, cause I can't stand to see you lose Investments and some liquid cash, it's time to make expansion moves Write your plan in black and white, got to take a chance for views The women will come, and so will the accolades They there to cool you down, they sorta like after shave Remember the week ends, so really just Saturdays Don't get stuck in this 9 to 5s, you deserve some happy days Listen to your body cause, it won't lead you wrong Seek it when your beast is gone and all you got is heat from songs I do this for myself but also do it for the ones who love me Finding beauty in the rain, when the shit get ugly Hook (2x): Plenty on my mind, when will I find the time to get it out? Life has been a gift but it's finally time we live it out Be patient with your moves, cause it's all about your healing now And focus on your happiness, don't let nobody steal it now

Verse: I was tryna make a point, now I'm standing besides it Think I'm done with this job shit No-more of this 9 to 5 shit My moms from the D, so I guess I've decided But God had a vision and I finally aligned with A tunnel vision focus, I can't notice all the side shit With pride I was divided, and all I seen was minus When you give em less of your time, you remain timeless I'm bowing to your highness, like James but I'm Wiseman And I wasn't made to fit in, don't know the sizes A mid-life crisis, but learning that I'll like it Balling for my team, but I'm too seasoned for a Heisman Never said that I was perfect, said that I'll be going diamond So if you feel excited, then throw it up like heimlichs Tryna make a cold killing, can't see what the crime is A smooth criminal, I'm always individual So til it feels reciprocal, just finish out the mission bro They waiting for the pick n roll, I'm taking up a give and go Plus it's always bigger than me, so I made 24 I remember sipping dark liquor, mixed with pinnacle Choices wasn't always the best, but I been living though Written’s feel like minutes from a meeting so I listen slow This for my guys like Kenneth Cole, I'm in a different mode Pitch it til it's in my spirits soul, I can feel it grow I was never talking spicy, I only been original Guess it makes no difference since I never was a chicken though You wouldn't get it though, my teas' what I been sippin’ bro Feel like this the NFL, I'm going for official goals Standing in the face of adversity, til you hit a poll Then you learn to give a vote, but shit ain't really switching though So I keep my head up, even when the shit get cold, cause

Lost Kids. 02:49
lyrics

We are lost kids not by design but by divine Built in time, we realign then define our minds Silence is just a safe space we hold for ourselves, because this world is always yelling at us, Telling us to be that and be this, instead of embracing the fact that we are in fact the gift So lift, lift your eyes, ears and brains out the gutter Don't let them make us strike out, we were blessed by our mothers The ones whose skin, reminds us of butter Smooth to the touch and full of embracing Don't run away from the pain like Jay Z stated, go face it Pacing and placement is everything... Love yourself because no one will do it for you the way you need it done Respect your support system and never run Love all the ones who love you and fly... and fly... Chorus : We some lost kids staring in the sky tonite Wishin' pon' a star get us high tonight Hoping for a sign, can we fly the skies? We some lost kids staring in the sky tonite Lost kids staring in the sky tonite Wishin' pon' a star get us high tonight Hoping for a sign, can we fly the skies? Lost kids staring in the sky tonite Verse : We look into the future This life is kamasutra Many ways that it could do ya Experience is a tutor Gotta listen thru the rumors Cause it's just a bunch of noise We been poise thru the Mula And ain't nobody cooler I think you gotta find out what your time is, fore you lose it Older folks just say we foolish, but they don't know we students Tell us that we gotta prove it but we always did the proofing Knead the dough before you use it Seek the positive and do it Show your scars just like a nudist Feel the pain you gotta sooth it Got me channeling my Cudi, while I'm staring at my painting Said ain't no time for the waiting Be yourself and you can chase it Getting closer to the day when I can finally say we made it But for now you'll catch me saving Stacking everything I'm making For the most part, cause you know I gotta bring you dope art Bullseye when you throw darts, go off Or be a dope car that won't start I'm saying don't park, my nikka free the go karts... Chorus : We some lost kids staring in the sky tonite Wishin' pon' a star get us high tonight Got us hoping for a sign, can we fly the skies? We some lost kids staring in the sky tonite We some lost kids staring in the sky tonite Wishin' pon' a star get us high tonight Got us hoping for a sign, can we fly the skies?

PARDON ME. 03:26

Verse One: Pardon me if this is sad, but mother dearly miss you bad I can't even hit my dad, the voicemails I can't listen back And in the times that I am happy, praying that these feelings last... I relapsed, couple months ago I was smoking gas Then I had a trip attack, had so much pain up in my back Swore-I was done with alcohol and then I went and filled my glass I never liked you for some reason in the future with my past I'm spending money from my stash, I swore that I would make it last I try to vent in therapy but she's not always there for me This is not discrediting the fact my system cares for me But when I'm deep inside emotions only God can carry me For some reasons I don't know, he needs me here apparently Been focused on me moving out, but truthfully I'm terrified Of being on my own, cause it feels just like it's a scary ride But if I don't do anything, success will leave me paralyzed Or maybe it's just all up in my head and this is a pair of lies.... Hook: They telling me to fly but the sky seems so far away For the moments that I live, I pray I heal my scars today Feel like gods my only parent, yet I still feel I'm alone Will I make it fore' its way too late? I'm scared to be alone... They telling me to fly but the sky seems so far away For the moments that I live, I pray I heal my scars today Feel like gods my only parent, yet I still feel I'm alone Will I make it fore' its way too late? I'm scared to be alone... Will I make it fore' its way too late? I'm scared to be alone... Will I make it fore' its way too late? I'm scared to be alone... Verse Two: I know I mentioned moving out, been thinking bout solutions now Tell me what we're doing now, I don't have to go prove it now This life is just a fairytale, but now I know me very well Heavens what I'm reaching for when going thru a scary hell I done seen a lot in life, it's more than I would care to tell They moving like a hare back home, but this time they going carry shells Killings at the grocery store...don't know where to go no more These cops be scared to open doors to stop the ones unloading more Been reading more and focused on some things that I don't know for sure Our life is just a game to them since they the ones that hold the score Behold the pale horse during times of uncertainty Don't be afraid to get what you want, and just don't work for free Your gift is like a currency, exchange it til you learn to be The one you always dreamed of being, see the vision perfectly The one you always dreamed of being, see the vision perfectly

Chorus: I cannot explain, I was chosen Everyday when I feel like I’m broken If I keep it going, then I’m Golden If I keep it going, then I’m Golden I cannot explain, I was chosen Everyday when I feel like I’m broken If I keep it going, then I’m Golden If I keep it going, then I’m Golden
 Verse: I cannot explain it, though it has been entertaining I been going through my brain and, notice everything is changing Hoping that it stay the same and, I been feeling kinda heated But I need it while I’m flaming All these instrumentals, instrumental interchanging… So it’s back and forth I’m pacing, thinking when will I be famous? Thinking when will I be famous? 91’ until infinity, but I ain’t never dated You should listen to my cadence, this how rappers find they places I know I’ve gotten older, but I’m doper at these ages Know that I should hit the gym but lately I can’t seem to make it All I wanna do is focus on my craft until I’ve made it I know it takes some time, but patience always keep me waiting Searching for my will at the smith machine, I’m Jaded Shoutout to my nikka SafehouseC, I’ll grab my apron Cause it’s time to kill these pigs, until the blessings start to baking (bacon) Plus I put it on the oven, they going love it while we make it, I’m gone nikka Chorus: I cannot explain, I was chosen Everyday when I feel like I’m broken If I keep it going, then I’m Golden If I keep it going, then I’m Golden I cannot explain, I was chosen Everyday when I feel like I’m broken If I keep it going, then I’m Golden If I keep it going, then I’m Golden
