"OUTRO"

{Intro}

Alright yall i'm going in...because i'm going out, get it?

 'Cause this is my outro...yeah baby!

______________________________________

{First Verse}

I was stuck on the past year and past couple days/

With these short beats that was all blank and delayed/

Now its done 'cause my trials got my head on straight/

For 2013's thirteenth track of my very first mixtape/

Even though depression was killing me/

And every day struggling had, big effect my ability/

Always wondering if God was the epitomy/

Of white lies being told different by the enemy/

He kept me calmed and kept my mind at ease/

Made a couple friends along the way, keeping the peace/

Showing me he 's all real when the hell was a tease/

And it felt long but flew through it all like a breeze/

It did me a favor/

It taught me to be the, light of the world and become that savor/

And not to be like everybody else/

Giving me no other choice but to do the opposite, never fail/

______________________________________

{Hook}

Life was, full of debris/

When I dealt with the mice and the ants and the roaches and the centipedes/

Struggling to make ends meet/

Living off food stamps, section 8 and welfare with the family/

Hate came like 3rd degree/

Burning all the love and our separation caused bitter rivalry/

Homeless with no privacy/

But I grew faith through all the road bumps and now I got my house keys/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

Not a fat nigga, but I sure love a full refrigerator...yeah, can ya feel me?/

There came times where, there was nothing but grains by itty bitty/

Other times it was full but fam was acting so iffy/

So I left that city, and I really got my life full erect, like a titty/

Pointing up like my stiffy/

You couldn't treat the King right, 'cause you hand was shitty/

You was blind by your envy and your pity (what a shame)/

See, all you had to do was say God just forgive me/

And you really gotta fix me 'cause I been so snitty/

But you kept the snitty pity and you turned really bitchy/

Then you really tried to play my life like a three six--ty/ 

--And now you miss me, 'cause I left the city/ 

And you realize, we will never see 50-50/

Ever since I grew witty and been feeling like a milli/

Left you in dirty water now i'm off to new beginnings/

How should I start? My mind is so crammed/

Theres so many things in life that I got planned/

Traveling the world and live my life best I can/

I see it a mile away the women is my plan/

And if womens' my addiction then forget a shy man/

So lets talk about'em, any show of hands?/

Ya favorite topic is coming from ya boy with the right jam/

Make it big to travel 'round the world and stick'em/

Keep in touch wit' every last 'cause i'm gonna miss'em/

Man I want'em all before i'm gone for eternity/

'Cause this young blood burns for'em like a 3rd degree/

Burnin' so bad imma need to have the surgery (yeah)/

Reason why I want'em bad is 'cause I used to freeze/

Use to let the shy and anger overtake me in my teens/

But I ain't, too late to wake up and start livin' free/

Out the closet now so I can meet'em here and overseas/

Thats why I, hit the gym, most the day, of the week/

Wanna look, good for that, summer life, on the beach/

"COLOR CONTRAST (WHITE WISHES)"

{Intro}

To all the beautiful girls and fine gentlemen of both races, don't take this song personal. I'm just young and curious thats all.

Tell me why we want to?/

Go after thats taboo?/

My black brothas what do you do?/

When these white wishes come at, --you?/

______________________________________

{First Verse} 

And ya'll know the kind i'm talking 'bout/

Talking 'bout that fruit forbidden fruit that we view now as a crown/

And our mothers tell us not to go that route/

But we disobey and switch and leave the sistas left out/

--And then the conflict within the race settles in/

Of both genders 'cause we men don't want correcting/

Don't wanna admit our own weakness/

Us black men go awol for the blonde and pale seekings/

I pray to God, it ain't self hatred/

'Cause if it is then my next album should replace it/

Song title s' called The Media, don't forget it/

Won't go too deep now 'cause soon i'll be wasted...(yeah)/

I pray its no racial dispute/

Rather have it be because a whole new set of rules/

'Cause before, we got killed, back in the days, like fools/

Just for sleeping with the boss man's wife, like its news (so)/

______________________________________

{Hook}

Tell me why we want to?/

Tell me why we need,-- to?/

Go after all that 's taboo?/

Why we put forth so much gratitude?/

Towards these women like we do?/

Putting them on a pedestal/

--My black brothas, what do you do?/

When these white wishes come at,-you?/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

Do you do what you oughta?/

Ignore'em all and save the judgement on tomorra?/

Or do dick'em down, then toss'em to the side?/

Go after one more on a low just to keep your fellow pride?/

'Cause I got my pride but I lust for the white chocolate/

Though I still love my hershey's kiss/

But I guess that the cream seems so delicate/

In the eye's of the opposite skin looking in/

Lord please help us all cure this lust within?/

'Specially the ones with hormones like raging winds/

Count me in, case manager looked more than a friend/

Cute white girl with jogging shorts and thighs thickening (uh)/

I can't help but phene/

After what I barely had so you bare with me please/

Don't...get offended by this/

'Cause this is what I go through...i'm young, black and curious/

______________________________________

{Hook}

Tell me why we want to?/

Tell me why we need,-- to?/

Go after all that 's taboo?/

Why we put forth so much gratitude?/

Towards these women like we do?/

Okay...you got the paper and the PEN in ya hands/

But you can't get the words out...when you had the plan/

And it seems you lost your touch and you thinkin' its a jam/

Or not even, you're thinkin' too much all over aga-ain/

About a topic...writer's blocks trynna knock yo spot and caused a little DOUBTIN'/

--Doubting that you hot and you feelin' so SURROUNDED/

By the negative thoughts in your mind and can't STOP IT/

--You really need an OUTLET/

--What is stoppin' you from doing you?/

And helpin' other people with your genuis when they in droop?/

That you was in before you came out...preachin' the truth?/

'Cause it pays off...after all that you been through (because)/

'Cause nothin' should come before you...or your fans...or your money...or your joy so damn the nuisance/

See I can relate to y'all...you want the best for better/

Purposes for your profection to stand tall/

In rememberance of you...to get others on the ball/

Yes i'm talkin' to the novice and the best of'em all (so)/

You can never think too hard...'cause the brain will get oppression/

Right along with other things...to cause severe depression/

"I WILL SHINE"

{Intro}

Yeah, yes (2x). This is a very, special one...going out to...all my haters....my deceivers....all ya'll who did me wrong...denying jobs. PJ and Alicia --I WILL--SHINE, old city (2x) I WILL--SHINE.

______________________________________

{First Verse}

Yes I will shine/

 I see it right now I reached my prime/

'Cause I gone through the worst but kept my mind/

Pushing me to my real rhymes/

Tossed, out the thug lies, struggles made my life/

A rollercoaster ride, but truth came on the side/

As a blessing in disguise and I had to verify/

The truth and be me, for the first time/

--My birth for the dirty environment/

With the smoke, drugs, disabilities, neglect and the violence/

Made me wanna be the opposite in my surroundings/

Becoming the good man, in everlasting silence/

Grew out of anger, put my feelings on the shelf/

Stop complaining, accept the bad hand I was dealt/

Stop comparing my life, to the ones born in wealth/

And stay strong but get stronger using God's help/

______________________________________

{Hook}

Might be down and out but, know that I, WILL, CLIMB/

Right to the top of the food chain, kicking and SCRATCHING to survive/

Hit rock bottom hard but I, will ne-ver die/

'Cause i'm better than that, yes I, WILL, SHINE/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

--Suicide s' abusing/

 I'll never take the coward's way of viewing/

Regardless of my right now persecution/

'Cause for a temporary problem, death is a permanent solution/

And since i'm on a positive note/

There s' no way in hell i'll jump from a bridge or, hang from a rope/

I can say screw the devil's schemes and all of his hoax/

I got a full life a head, music gives me hope/

My producer said I missed out timely/

On beats, but I chose my eleven wisely/

'Cause it goes out to my feelings on variety/

Of, ways, even to, every last job that denied me/

But its okay (uh)/

Wait 'til this mixtape drop and i'll pay/

Every last wasted year off that 's been astray/

From my colorful days to the dark shades of grey (AYE 4x)/

______________________________________

{Hook}

Might be down and out but, know that I, WILL, CLIMB/

Right to the top of the food chain, kicking and SCRATCHING to survive/

Hit rock bottom hard but I, will ne-ver die/

"SPOILED MILK"

{Intro}

This is about getting past all my regrets and stop looking in the past, beating myself up saying I wish I did this and that because that won't solve a damn thing. It'll just make me myself right along with the idiots that thought I wouldn't make it. --But I do believe in restoration you know, live for today and tomorrow and not cry over spoiled milk.

Its done (2x) I can't change it its done, its done (2x) no-more-spoiled milk!

______________________________________

{First Verse}

I started rappin' way back in the 3rd grade/

Don't know where it came from but it made my days/

Even brighter than it really was...coloring the grey/

'Round the times that they ran the planes in the World Trade/

That was very ironic...then got distracted/

With...sibling ri-valry wearin' off my magic/

School kids joinin' in adding more heavy baggage/

Right along wit' my parents, thats how bad I had it/

--It was the new millennium but didn't recognize/

Video games and wrestling set my main sights/

But now I got the knowledge I would always visualize/

Havi-ng a time machine just to go back in time/

I would have stayed on my music/

With my little keyboard that I used back in middle school and melodies was proven/

--Play more sports without confusion/

And joined every talent show back in high school without refusin'/

______________________________________

{Hook}

What...would...I...have...done...back...in...time?/

If...I...knew...life...would...be a crazy ride?/

Beating...my...self...up...for the things that...I couldn't make right/

But...I...recognize...spoiled milk will make you cry/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

No regrets...all my tears is dried/

'Cause I developed such a strong character along the line/

All I gotta do is work and...stay on my grind/

Instead of askin' myself unnecissary questions like/

Would I have been less passive on sight?/

Would I have had the balls to get help...when things really wasn't right?/

Keepin' the mental scars from being a big fight/

 In my brain 'cause I fight it everyday of my life/

I roll wit' punches man i'm glad for the hurt/

Not for self-destruction but for the message that I give to the cursed/

To rise up...out their situations and make it work/

You can get a lot...outta this so feel on my verse/

--We'll all gain a profit/

The drilled realism from the scars was the outcome I-can't-stop-it/

Got real reason to rap/

You got a problem just...follow me up...and i'll give you what you grasp/

______________________________________

{Hook}

What...would...I...have...done...back...in...time?/

If...I...knew...life...would...be a crazy ride?/

Beating...my...self...up...for the things that...I couldn't make right/

But...I...recognize...spoiled milk will make you cry/

"INTERLUDE"

{First Verse}

At the core of it all i'm dead center for ya ears/

Got what you need and i'm backed up by my peers/

'Cause I made it this far, so i'll make a couple cheers/

'Cause I wanna be the new city boy of the year/

And I got that motivation got them posters on my wall/

Got nobody else to do it for me so i'll take the call/

Growin' up independently was like a sudden flaw/

And if I fall then i'll be responsible for the fall (but I highly doubt it)/

'Cause these hunger games longs for a purpose/

Since I got the opportunity to put the work in/

So damn the sweatin'...stutterin' and mumbling when nervous/

I'm never discouraged...when my bars lift heavy burdens/

I'm writin' things down wit' a smile more alive/

Imma end my big 20 with the happiness inside/

21 the doors will open in time/

'Cause my bridge is built, now i'm crossing off to the other side/

______________________________________

{Hook}

After all the road block...my character is built like a bridge...i'm strong solid as a rock/

And I shook the cobwebs, did my part read the bible got blessed, YES I gotta good God/

Gave him a second chance thanks Unc...for stressin' the word now I can just say na-na/

Hey (2x)...goodbye old life 'cause I hit the right...spot/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

Think i'm mister hot-shot ya gotta be trippin'/

--I'm just that firecracker that was dyin' for position/

--Dyin' just to live to this life that i'm livin'/

Get it poppin' just to get up out the damn collision/

'Cause ya gotta understand that i'm young/

I'm too YOUNG for the dead...I should be that pretty boy gettin' sprung/

But since I lacked that...thats my tip on the run/

When I hit the music field for the sympathy and fun/

Its ironic how I swam in the big city but I...sunk in the smaller country area/

Anybody from over here that was livin over there really knows that Waterbury buries ya/

Its a spook town with no love so I came right to Haven the people know how to take care of ya/

I don't give a damn about my past 'cause its not where i'm from its where i'm at...its an end of hysteria/

______________________________________

{Hook}

After all the road block...my character is built like a bridge...i'm strong solid as a rock/

And I shook the cobwebs, did my part read the bible got blessed, YES I gotta good God/

{Intro}

New (3x) Uh...new (3x)! 

New ci-ty life (2x)! My scars was the price, to claim...all my right!

______________________________________

{First Verse}

Came from the dirt...now i'm on a kill/

--Gimme a minute and imma tell you how it feels/

Made it through the racket/

Devil thought my dreams would never really happen...held years distractions/

Tried to wreck havoc...tried to have my pain outweigh all my laughin'/

Tried to have it lead into my new age bracket/

--Got sick of thinkin' 'bout another early casket/

--So I worked my magic/

--Now i'm takin' action/

Stopped the stress 'cause suicide won't lead to tragic/

God knows my joy and he knows all my asking/

Now my joy is sweet like season's open passes...sweeter than molasses/

And i'm back wit' passion/

--Glad he showed me the way, with my new habits/

Anytime of the day, i'm up for any gladness/

--Keep my music runnin' better everytime I blast it...while I keep stackin'/

______________________________________

{Hook}

C'mon now (2x)/

I'm telling you what its like to break...through/

--Chained doors just to make your moves/

Push...beyond the limit thats DEEP inside of YOU/

--My experience was on my own/

Relocating to a new location, growing my back...bone/

When i'm on my O-O-OWN/

I'll HOLD ON/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

Despite my greatness...I hold my ground/

Devil throws big curves just to slow me down/

Haters talk behind my back when i'm never around/

And when i'm all up in ya face you never make a sound/

Its 'cause you know what i'm about...know my struggle was long/

Tell it by my emotions...heard in my songs/

Look into my eyes, see all the failure is gone/

Love me or hate me baby don't forget I ALWAYS stay strong/

And even though it wasn't always easy/

To maintain my composure under situations so breezy/

I learned that self-pity...can be greedy/

So I stopped the pity for a better opportunity (yes)/

I moved to a new city for the best/

Detached from my past, yes I finally grew a set/

Now i'm seein' new faces that I never would have guessed/

--To be applau-ding for my studio success (uh)/

______________________________________

{Hook 2}

C'mon now (2x)/

I'm telling you what its like to break...through/

--Chained doors just to make your moves/

Push...beyond the limit thats DEEP inside of YOU/

--My experience was on my own/

Relocating to a new location, growing my back...bone/

Now i'm on a RO-O-OLL/

'Cause...I...HOLD ON/

{Intro}

Yeah (2x)! Alright...yeah!

______________________________________

{First Verse}

Yo I GOT...lust in my body from day one its killin' me/

Every night I think about women unintentionally/

Crave sex on a daily, 'cause it ain't easy/

To wait on my wife to be the one in my life/

Everywhere I turn I see nothin'...ass/

And them big titties, nice curves, ey'thing down packed/

And I lust, like a dog...know I want it so bad/

Think of the lost time and over-react/

--Thats why i'm tryin' so hard to gain all my luck/

Try get my studio so I can make the quick bucks/

For the future benefits with the girls up my butt (uh)/

--White girls, black girls I don't give a fuck/

Been waitin' too long, been stuck on the past/

Of what I could have done, should have done, should grasp/

--Stuck on that quote nice guys finish last/

So i'm here to make a change with my music on blast (uh)/

______________________________________

{Hook}

My days of being good has faded my glo-ray/

And all passiveness made me miss out on...sho-rties/

Now because of that, I just had the sad sto-ray/

Whole time been good, no fun for me-h/

But I paid the price now its time to part-ay/

Deserve a good life and a shot of bicard-ai/

Hormones ragin' and I get a little horny/

Out the closet now, so its time to get naught-ay/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

--Yeah I hit you with, positive messages/

--May have been deep enough to show you what a blessin' is/

But the conflict of God and the Devils' hellish/

Its hard to one when you're young wantin' sexin'/

And I don't know if its a demon/

Or if its natural feelings that a youngan has and it keeps scream...GO/

Live your life while you're young and thrill seeking/

Ya been the good kid this whole time, can't ya see it?/

And I saw it/

Got nothing from it but pain, regret, anger build up and straight garbage/

Been used over and over and often got haunted/

--Over the years, never learned 'til I really lost it/

--So now I see how it is/

In this cold world, got a small taste of reality's kiss/

Mama never told me what it would be like in the midst/

But thats okay, i'm still holdin' on wit' a grip (uh)/
