"Origins" Music be that [....] that I need just to breath Without it, couldn’t even squeeze out a wheeze Don’t doubt it, I’m bout’ it, I remember distinct Unclouded it hit me, Nicco what you think? Yeah, let’s just be honest, music has really saved my life Gave me a purpose, made sure I always put up a fight Made sure I had a safe place to express what I felt I got this greatness out the mud wasn’t nobody else Growing up, my pops would bump this harmonious funk King Crimson, Sun Ra, and Thelonious Monk That was more than enough to open up my mind For that foreign sublime I was hoping to find Yeah, through all the pain and the sacrifice I endured it all I wrote my heart on this paper so I could never fall Modeled myself after legends with intents to better Now I’m in position cementing myself forever Yeah, another for me was my Grandmother Louise Took me to shows young and others could see I was catching all the vibes, would happen all the time Planting all the seeds, now I’m rapping out these rhymes Yeah, it’s kinda funny my father put my pen in my hand He said we got quite legacy, I ain’t understand As I got older and started washing the competition Looked in the mirror and knew immediately I was different Then I set that cassette deck to Nas or B.I.G. Plus Wu-Tang and OutKast were gods to the kid “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” I was “Hypnotize”d “C.R.E.A.M.” “Gasoline Dreams” it’s a vibe Yeah, 2Pac Shakur was my favorite, I admired his struggle A broken man with a tainted soul got into trouble But he was bigger than music represented a lot With “All Eyes On Me” seen better days on my block I’ve loved Hip Hop like how preps love flip flops [....] a pit stop, racing straight to the tip top Never an idle line, see from my idol’s eyes So I could write dope like G.O.A.T.s I’ve idolized I push myself to the brink of a mental breakdown I often say what I want while I’m flaunting the crowd I’m the best in the world when I’m speaking my mind Invoke emotions, I’m making you feel every line We chose this life knowing that we might not survive Knowing the disappointment, the anger, the sacrifice That’s why I rap so angry, it’s part delusion But it has to be that way to prevent us from losing

“On My Own” I've been on this road so long I'm far away No more room for love, got no space So I guess I'm on my own now I guess I'm on my own now, they telling me to slow down I've been on this road so long I'm far away No more room for love, got no space So I guess I'm on my own now I guess I'm on my own now, they telling me to slow down Let's just be honest, don't none of ya'll know what it's like To chase self satisfaction through constant sacrifice I lost so much on this journey to be one in a million And with this chip on my shoulder, became one in a billion So stop playing with me, put yourself into my position Imagine being the only one you know with a vision Imagine building a life you want with nothing but intentions Imagine knowing most likely you'll just be a statistic I'm responsible for every single choice that I make I'm not a victim in this life, I just do what it takes Not many friends or family, loneliness is apparent Pay attention to that last line, I know you hear it I spent a lot of lonely nights in my room on my own Relationships come and go, sorry baby I'm gone I ain't sacrificing a thing to be part of your life I value purpose, profit, legacy and I paid the price I've been on this road so long I'm far away No more room for love, got no space So I guess I'm on my own now I guess I'm on my own now, they telling me to slow down Have you been torn between two things you love so much Ya’ try to make it all work til’ you don’t know what’s what Yeah, that’s where I’ve been for about a decade now Pursuing two dreams hoping it don’t get played out Giving the best of me providing therapy for kids with special needs I’m so blessed to see successful tendencies, inputs for sensory Honored to be part of the remedy Mentally, can’t express what those memories meant to me To help a child unlock their maximum potential Makes all else in life seem so inconsequential But then I have this gnawing feeling deep inside A yearning for a sweet ass vibe and a beat to ride And it ain’t like that hasn’t been bearing it’s fruits Shows in Times Square, schools use tunes for the youth So I invest every dime self-funding the music Giving my all to both, hoping there’s something to it I've been on this road so long I'm far away No more room for love, got no space So I guess I'm on my own now I guess I'm on my own now, they telling me to slow down I've been on this road so long I'm far away No more room for love, got no space So I guess I'm on my own now I guess I'm on my own now, they telling me to slow down

“Oddity” How you get a girl who be calling you baby? Got these women in my life they driving me crazy Focused on my job because I do not like slavery What do she want from me? What do she want from me? How you get a girl who be calling you baby? Got these women in my life they driving me crazy Focused on my job because I do not like slavery What do she want from me? What do she want from me? All my life I feel I gotta’ choose Passion, purpose, love, what do I do? Work with balance something I ain’t seen You ain’t more important than my dream Remember when we had conversation told you I just be struggling bad, huh I ain’t met nobody worth a damn that’s why I’m focused on getting this bag, yeah Relationships end up so complicated make me want to avoid em’ and drop Quality over quantity’s impossible I been living out the box, yeah, yeah, yeah I admit I could be part of the problem Every year I’m getting better regardless Tell me how you manage feelings and logic huh I be sitting in the back and I’m wondering will I ever find a person of substance? I can really see she give you abundance, what up Marc weren’t you telling me something? Tell ya’ how I got a girl calling me baby Took a lot of time to find a quality lady And I swear they seem to be an oddity lately I mean now honestly, talking monogamy Took a lot of time to find my queen Someone who would help me build my dream Always push me hard to reach my goals And even sell the merch at my shows It’s tough in the music career, I usually fear when the clues are unclear, yeah But therapeutic to hear there’s a boost in my ear when she’s choosing me clear, huh I found someone who told me loud she can hold me down And guaranteed support me proud while I control the crowd Yeah, bro, check it out, ain’t no feeling in the world like that Dealing with a girl who’s got your back, appealing to the good seems not as bad I promise that it’s an honest brag, ride or die, make the profits stack Bonnie and Cylde, and you can take that to the bank and deposit that, ayy
