Im Gone
02:58

Hook:
I crawled, I walked, I ran, I flown/
I lived, I seen, and now, I’ve grown/
With time i came into my own/
And now I’m gone/
This is my maturation/
You aint gonna find no exaggerations/
always Stay real to myself, you could feel it yaself, that right there is ya validation/
I passed on graduation no caps and gowns/
But I’m the one whose laughing now/
I left for a minute but I’m back around/
And this time around I aint backing down/
Feel like I’m gone but still up in my pivot/
Tired and I’m worn body looking livid/
But I gotta move on if I’m a say I did it/
I’m my biggest fan but I’m my biggest critic/
Like damn son you nice listen to your lyrics/
started off right, but you just gotta finished/
came up from the bottom so there aint no limit/
Take life as it comes they don’t wanna see you live it/
I aint mad at them I dont never mind them/
I just brush it off its all about the timing/
A diamond in a rough somebody better find him/
It just allows me to think of a time when/
Hook: 2x
I’m gone aint nobody catching ray/
Gone like I blazed a batch of haze/
Gone for the past few days like a cast away/
Just thinking bout when I pass away/(like)
Will I be remembered for the glowing ember/
That’s shines in my heart or my short temper/
Just trying to make a mark in the short tenure/
I have on this earth I just need a pen to…/
Jot it all down/ you got it all now/
Doesn’t matter much it’s a matter of trial/
And error, whatever we gotta eat now/
traveled alot but a thousand more miles/
Awaits me fuck it you can add them on now/
I know I’m a make it you wanna know how/
Cuz I flip a beat in one or more styles/
So I’m a spread my wings and just hit the clouds/
And fly away I will stay up high and hey, no confusion/
progressions a problem I’m the solution/
ya just witnessed the evolution of how i…./ walked I ran etc.

verse1:
I fear that life is taking its toll, I’m feeling lifeless/
The fight for taking control has got me righteous/
A crisis waits to unfold how can I write this/
Without being blatant and cold man I don’t like this/
My own family hating on me what kind of shit is that/
No room for the negative had to get rid of that/
Not the type to talk Was never one for chitter chat/
Respect is only given to those who learn to give it back/
In other words you gotta earn it/
every bridge built has a foundation that strong without it, gotta burn it/
moving on only way I’m getting threw the storm/
I just grind till I have my own horn to toot upon/
Prove me wrong but I doubt that that’ll happen/
If I fail bet their reaction will be one of satisfaction/
I guess that’s what was lacking only thing that was gone/
But everything is clear now so I’m headed back home/
Hook:
I'm taking control/
of my life my mind and my soul/
no one is gonna tell me where i'm at is wrong/
or where there going is where i should of been all along/
verse2:
i Had to do some soul searching/
But now I’m so certain/
That I’m a make it I’m a be the sole person/
To do it my way only way that its working/
I’ll let you see it all homey there aint no curtains/
this is not a show This is me exposed/
as opposed to always being clothed/
bare my soul in the song through lyrics that I told/
on the highway of life I’m just trying to make it home/
but lust try to misdirect me I almost got lost/
a course to a dead end damn I had to hop off/
almost lost shorty now my time i allocate/
for me to think it over gotta reevaluate/
but now I’m almost home the distance getting shorter/
I just gotta get my priorities in order/
Left as a youngster and i came back grown/
Now I’m in good place so I’m coming back home/
hook:
I'm taking control/
of my life my mind and my soul/
no one is gonna tell me where i'm at is wrong/
or where there going is where i should of been all along/
verse3:
so i took a furlough but ya boy is back/
and now i'm on the Merlot it's no longer yak/
enlightened by the fact/
that there's people in the world who actually relate to what i'm writing in my raps/
and that alone is good enough/
feel like i'm full of luck/
cuz i done came a ways from days of being hooded up/
so like my attitude my wardrobe change/
just a grown man doing grown man things/
so whateever is to come i hope that god prepares me/
always on the run i'm never stationary /
i could see it all i'm a visionary/
but its hard to see the truth when the information varies/
who do i believe aint no one here to trust/
i'm trying to tell my fam there aint no one here but us/
cuz they dont give a fuck so i feel alone/
but i done had enough its time i headed home/
hook:
I'm taking control/
of my life my mind and my soul/
no one is gonna tell me where i'm at is wrong/
or where there going is where i should of been all along/

NY ANTHEM
04:04
|

Hook:
N.Y home of the jackers/
Stick up kids out for their taxes/
When you live in N.Y got dealers On the stoop selling blow/
Pimps got Prostitutes on the stroll/
Up in N.Y where they letting off shots/
hide ya chain and ya watch cuz you could get got/
up in N.Y where the good die young/
it aint hard to tell where I'm from/
verse1:
In the city that never sleeps/
With low lifes and a bunch of cheats/
4'5's on a guy who just got released/
Long knives that slide in a pocket crease/
Archives show it would be Wise for you not to speak/
You got ya dealers and hustlers you know they got rock/
we got real killers amongst us who let the shots pop/
the blocks feel like the summer the way the cops watch/
dice games on the same grounds where they hop-scotched/
an ugly picture but living here you have to look/
futures slipping due to decisions and actions took/
playing spades is the only time they'll grab a book/
creeping late night on the avenue to catch a jook/
but when you from the brook none of this is new to you/
you get accustomed to all the memorials and funerals/
just the long term effect of what Brooklyn could do to you/
and although its ugly at the same it is beautiful in.../
Hook:
verse2:
I'm from the place where everybody's a hustler/
But in reality everybody's a customer/
You violate ya body be in a dumpster/
Don't flash ya cake cuz these niggaz a touch ya/
so Do what you must in this world of sin/
It's dog eat dog in the world I'm in/
Don't trust a bitch cuz she'll turn you in/
Hanging on a threads end/
Guess they're wrong bout a bitch being a man's best friend/
overtime you learn not to trust/
Don't mix business with pleasure cuz they might combust/
Where niggaz bust at the cops just to feel that rush/
And if you seen anything it is not discussed/
I'm talking Brooklyn, NY, Bedstuy, Buck Town/
When these killers let off niggaz better duck down/
Born and raised till the day I die/
It's in my blood man I love Ny/
Hook:
verse3:
take a walk with me son so you could get a glimpse/
and you can see what spawns from all the negligence/
Show you elegance or show you where the ghetto is/
I'll take you to the top of the rock down to the sediments/
The bottom pit, at times seemingly is bottomless/
But what it seems to be is just a stream of broken promises/
Or we could hit the city where the boushy live anonymous/
See the different walks of life so you could feel apart of it/
a melting pot, and everybody splashing in it/
so if you aint here to win it then you aint gon' last a minute/
it's the school of hard knocks you gotta major in it/
if you wanna stay afloat man you gotta play to finish/
it's the bottom line if you don't do it it'll cost ya/
I do by myself man I'm a lone walker/
I do it from the heart i aint just a smooth talker/
I'm a boss, signing off "MR. NEW YORKER"/

I see the greed and envy, it’s like a feeding frenzy/
but the drive that is inside is like a Beamer, Benz, or Bentley/
but I aint needing any Gucci, Prada lu or Fendi/
just to prove that I’m the shit which is why they all resent me/
I guess I understand tho/
flows too much to handle/
And its Hard to see me like a nigga spit in camo/
I’m looking at the angles to take a new approach/
Im trying to find the quickest way to double what I gross/
I need to see results its time I bring the noise in/
I could cover everything homie pick ya poison/
Anything that you could do just know I do it better/
So you could name the time and place homie its whatever/

everything they said that i can't do/
i just always seem to defy/ I...
gotta put that work in,, gotta go hard, put in time/
and eventually i will get whats mine/

got my eyes on the prize in the dark i could see the light/
you don't see how i see we don't see alike/
see you see it wrong, me i see it right/
i came to live you just came to see the sights/
you only live once remember what you see in life/
you may not get it, but you don't get to see it twice/
so make the best of it, certainly i will/
and just treasure its better if you make sure it's real/
cuz i'm tired of the bullshit/
tired of excuses/
tried and i tried now i'm chucking up the deuces/
the problem is elusive i gotta find solutions/
bouncing like a ball off the walls like acoustics/
see the truth is i aint like these losers/
every man you asked walks the path that he chooses/
so i gotta ask in the past was I stupid/
but now i'm on the path for this music/

this that joint where them bars is like god relayed it/
with more points from a star than the star of David/
i'm trying to leave my mark here/
i'm shutting down the streets dog/
i'm a double park here ya gon' play some leap frog/
i aint gon' move take a detour/
start another groove when in deep thought/
keep off/
life's a see-saw, when you deal with ups and downs/
i'm on a free fall, waiting to hit solid ground/
what a feeling, when its hard to find a ceiling/
skin was made to shed don't worry if they see you peeling/
stand up tall don't ever let them find you kneeling/
and if they do tell'em pain is just a part of healing/
it don't matter cuz when its said and done/
i know that i'm gonna be the one/
