Overzealous 02:20
Bettering my craft and my health I’m tryna grow my family and grow some wealth Talking shit is petty and plus all my idols billy So I’m literally dancing with myself I been getting bread like some naan From what I heard you been getting none You can have my Tunecore check to be honest Lately I been making music just for fun Y’all getting petty I speak it then I get it Independent And the Tesla isn’t rented Don’t get jealous Get like me I’m overzealous Nah forget it You wouldn’t get it anyway Hyper-fixating on anything I think will get me paid Ever since the second grade Front yard slinging lemonade Getting paid like eleven ways I set the pace I don’t hesitate Yeah many fake but I separate I bet they hate cause I'm getting great I'll let em hate and I'll elevate I renovated my mental state Now positivity I generate So I don’t ever let ‘em get to me I’m working on being a better me That’s every day I do it steadily Getting pure bread that’s my pedigree And I’m with my dogs I’ll forever be Yeah Always ready slow and steady I’m a turtle you a bunny rabbit It sucks that I used to suck But I made succeeding a fucking habit That was wack let me run it back Give it to me and I’ll run with that I feel like BenJarvus Green-Ellis I’ll go my whole career and won’t fumble that Not from brockton but I feel like Rocky Marciano how I never lost Go bananas like Gwen Stefani It’s so unfair when I get involved My work ethic’s unusual Commitment is undisputable I keep improving though Like Wayne did on funeral I don’t let these influencers influence me I’m bored of all these cheesy people charcuterie When I stop giving a fuck is when I feel free So I’m not even looking at you I’m too busy doing me Oh my goodness These other rappers shooketh We been cooking Now we got some people looking Turning heads I’ll admit it I been burning bread but hey Let’s make a toast to doing the most And living and learning instead

Lately I been feeling blue you would think I was a smurf So if I don’t text you back please don’t think that I’m a jerk Cause I probably fell asleep or I’m putting in the work In the stu like I do every single fucking day Aye okay getting paid Still I’m looking for a play Get away bitch I’m great I don’t need all of the hate All that negativity you really poisoning my brain You insane super lame needa stay up out my lane Hating online that shit really ain’t offending me I’m a nice guy I don’t really take no enemies I got nothing to prove to all my friends and all my family Plus I love myself I don’t give a fuck if you not a fan of me I’m smoking on that sticky getting higher than a plane be Put my all in it I don’t really got a plan b This shit not a game I suggest that you don’t play with me I’m not going away I don’t want nobody replacing me

Iamthe1 01:36
I’ve seen an awful lot of nodding off in other words they sleeping on me I been gone but not forgot ain’t dropped but they still speaking on me Old songs doing numbers my new shit is on another level Working on my mental I lost touch with the devil Both hands in the air Skate 3 super dude My legacy ain’t for sale I am not a Subaru With my dogs word to blue but we got no fucking clue Doing me I don’t have time to care bout what you do The one and only Can’t believe you don’t know me I swear these rappers cheesier than Johnny Macaroni’s I been nice with it for years and people act like they ain’t notice I know that I probably sound petty but that is bogus I’m supercalifragilisticexpialidocious And you know that I’m not kidding You know that I’m kicking ill shit I’m top five not five four three two You know I am the one
4.
Off and On 01:42
Off and on but often I been feeling horrible But honestly today I am feeling phenomenal Lately I been on a roll getting green I’m unstoppable Anything that’s in my way getting knocked down like dominos This life’s a rollercoaster you can only hope it’s going up but Even when this life isn’t showing love I’ll keep showing up Yeah I never gave a fuck what they think I’m just doing me I suggest that you do the same thing Never been a loud mouth I keep to myself I write a diary then I put it out In a world where everyone’s critical The second that you get on the internet someone’s pissed at you Matter fact they’re mad at themselves so they want you miserable But I’m invincible I will never be cynical I’ll never let somebody else tell me how I am gonna feel I Keep it pushing every day until I reach my pinnacle I keep my head down life’s a mountain I just keep climbing I manifest then it happens I swear that I must be psychic I mighta just lost my mind I got no desire to find it Man if it takes me all my life it’s perfect timing Your lying if you say that I’m uninspiring I just been Firing everyday I see red trucks with sirens These rappers chit chatting bout clout but I never mind it I find that these industry plants always just end up dying Laddy daddy anxiety at the party So I’m glad to be at home for a little bit if I’m honest I don’t need anybody but my girl and me Cause sipping tea blowing tree writing raps is all I need Yeah so I been doing that repeatedly Sipping tea blowing tree writing raps is all I need Yeah so I been doing that repeatedly This life ain’t as bad as it usually seems to be

These rappers cheesy and they’re full of bologna If only they actually had some bread I make it look easy never showing how hard I’m going That’s why I’m always ten steps ahead Headed west it’s my destiny to go Hollywood So I can come home and feel like I made it But what’s the point in dreaming bout being famous I woke up and said life‘s a gamble let’s move to Vegas It ain’t about the views get me outta the spotlight I’m writing these songs to clear my mind Fuck the playlists I don’t want to be in your top five This is just something I do in my spare time We give spare change to great minds that change lives And pay $11 for a coffee Why the fuck didn’t I become a barista? I could’ve charged $11 for a fucking coffee No hate to baristas though

Ease My Mind 02:30
I’m happy with myself so i speak with conviction That isn’t true yet but I speak like I am on a mission I been manifesting, speaking mantras, praying to every god Drinking coffee at every hour and poking too much smot A lot a lot has sought to brought the words I bring to you I put a lot of thought into the songs I’m tryna sing to you like na na na na na na na I’m getting jiggy like Will Smith that’s real shit Or more like Stizzy a fresh prince kicking ill shit I know that I can be a hell of a lot to deal with But everyday with you feel like a motherfucking ffield trip Off the top this a lobotomy and honestly I’m mobbing deep and wreaking havoc word to Prodigy I go gymnastics when I rap but don’t flip out at me The game is filled with leaches with PHDs in phlebotomy I’m evil in the studio my crib is on some Stewie Griffin A young genius no peace when I get my vengeance Tryna light my doobie close the window cause it do be windy In sin city counting blessings and smoking sticky Life is just a gamble I’m rolling the dice winning But if I had never failed I wouldn’t be trapped in this Prison in my brain and there isn’t no lights in it Born with a pen in my hand now that’s a life sentence Run on run on run on Running on two hours of sleep and caffeine Run on run on run on Running from nightmares to chase my dreams Word of advice separate yourself from the device Divisive tension it tightens on you just like a vice I tend to try to take some time to sit with the divine Me and the music and I’m using it to ease my mind

The Promise 02:14
People used to clown me I promise that I was never laughing Always sleeping on me I promise that I was never napping Yes I wear a lot of hats I promise I was never capping Abracadabra every single track is just fucking magic Not to brag but I’m fantastic thanks for asking I’m not from Dallas but I’m a maverick and got some talent You big backwards I’m small forward like Justin Jackson That means I keep it pushing when I don’t see nothing happen The universe got a funny way of giving you blessings I guess it tends to hide it behind the stressful shit Rest in peace to Grampa he taught me to laugh at everything I had a bad month for like ten months but I went with it But I ain’t looking for a second of your sympathy Bitching and complaining has never really done shit for me I grow from what I go through and never let that shit limit me I’m working to be better every day yeah that’s consistency I cannot save the world but I’m trying to do my best Some people stalk my page but don’t ever wanna invest But nevertheless I’ll never settle for less Keep moving like chess until someone cut me a check Never taking no for an answer I keep on showing up I just want respect I don’t give shit if you show me love Living day to day couldn’t tell you what I’ll be doing next I’m doing what I love so I can’t complain when I do reflect Ever since way back in the day I been a quiet kid with a hell of a lot to say I just keep it pushing yeah that’s every single day So nothing you can do or say is getting in my way And I’m not waiting for someone to say I’m doing great I’m doing me and honestly that makes me feel okay Cause I could make a million dollars every day and have a poor life Or I could live this shit just like I’m Drake I’m talking more life
