Hold Me Down 03:29

I can see it in your eyes, let go See I’m not surprised, never fold The time of my life And you’ll feel it I drown in memories That I found out of misery Days remain the same And I need change Will you hold me down Will you hold me close When I’m not around Would you say hello Will you hold me down Will you hold me close When I’m not around Would you say hello Chances of success where low That fear would put a hold on my soul I was never afraid to dream And now I see things I see, longer days, different people Turbulent ways, a simple treatment Burning my way, a path to eden Nights led astray, I won’t believe it Longer days, different people Turbulent ways, a simple treatment Burning my way, a path to eden Nights led astray, I won’t believe it Will you hold me down Will you hold me close When I’m not around Would you say hello Will you hold me down Will you hold me close When I’m not around Would you say hello

Back then, back then When I begin Back when, no friends Cold eyes, frozen No tithes, no mends Closed mind, closed hands Oh my, oh man Now I’m golden Putting in all if this work, walking through all of this dirt The money I'm making is flourishing, i spend it all its a perk I needed all this encouragement, tap into all of my worth Feeling like I’m just a burden man, I need it all on the first I don’t even wanna stop now, I don’t even wanna touch ground Heavy handed with flows now, never will let it slow down Steady controlling the torque, these feelings, they’re pulling my soul now Taught I should never abort, and I should get wins on my own now Remembering days, when I discovered them ways I just wanted to create, man I thought it was phase Man my mind was a maze, in due time, so amazed All the records I could make, all the talent I’ve obtained Now I gotta make a name, takeover the game Bust open that safe, snatch everything that’s in range If I need it ima get it, I’m updating every image When I’m older they’ll be finish, still creating like a chemist Back then, back then When I begin Back when, no friends Cold eyes, frozen No tithes, no mends Closed mind, closed hands Oh my, oh man Now I’m golden Back then on the fence, no hits, making cents Penny wise, I was it, man I had to get a grip I had to gooooo, and get it, I ain’t really wanna leave I hit the rooooad, I’m vivid with the visions that I’m seeing Look, it wasn’t time for me to blow I took my time, and seen the road, I changed the scene and seen the growth Yeah, looking like you’ve just scene a ghost I'm in my bag I’m on a roll, where can I go to claim the gold Back then, back then When I begin Back when, no friends Cold eyes, frozen No tithes, no mends Closed mind, closed hands Oh my, oh man Cold eyes, frozen Back then, back then When I begin Back when, no friends Cold eyes, frozen No tithes, no mends Closed mind, closed hands Oh my, oh man Now I’m golden

Aye, Stressing, you know I’m stressing I’m just tryna get through hell-bent I’m never failing, Aye I don’t want no flashes, don’t want no flashes, aye I just wanna pass and get to the family, aye, aye I got stress, from regrets There’s no difference between you and I, I bet I’m just tryna make sure everything is set Knocking pieces all around me like it’s chess I got stress, from regrets There’s no difference between you and I, I bet I’m just tryna make sure everything is set Knocking pieces all around me like it’s chess Aye, feeling like I ain’t got nothing to prove Business as usual, you know the groove I gotta cook, deliver the food I’ll write a book, the scriptures are cool Yet, they run and they don’t listen, it’s forgiven I don’t wanna have to tell you over, it’s a limit I just want respect, and i will have it when I’m finished Working like I’m Finneas, I’m tryna make billie Yeah, I’m feeling like an alien the world will never feel me So I keep a camera rolling, you can study up on film I guess Need a Kelly Rowland who can serenade the soul And I can go and conquer oceans, I’m the kraken when I’m rapping man Don’t wanna build momentum, then come crashing like an avalanche Prince of Persia swagger, yet I feel like I’m forgotten sands Wanna hear the laughter of the ones I choose to sing and dance, with There’s no me with out them I got stressed, from regrets There’s no difference between you and I, I bet I’m just tryna make sure everything is set Knocking pieces all around me like it’s chess I got stressed, from regrets There’s no difference between you and I, I bet I’m just tryna make sure everything is set Knocking pieces all around me like it’s chess

Money in the mattress Homie taking funny, get to stepping like a kappa, niggas really arachnids Buggy actions, they glitching for a reaction I smile and shimmy right through the has beens I’m happy but yet I carry the hatchet Needed verification for those who enter the masses Feeding them information, belly’s full and it’s aching Hopefully they digested the knowledge, use it to make it Out in the world, where folk are hiding their faces Poking all out of place and, focus more on the hatred I really couldn’t take it, so I’d stay sit But I needed to move, so I’ll embrace it Finna tie my laces Hit the court, ball out like I’m Kobe, soon the world will know me Goat talk only Mamba mentality when I’m on beats, you know how I gotta eat There ain’t no waiting around, I got the burter gene Moving quickly while conquering every other dream Make my way to top, I’m tryna intervene I’m wanna see Crewneck on every TV screen I’m on to bigger things, Please don’t me a meme I’m at a winners pace, putting up 40 a game I’m in a happy space, seeing the light I’ve obtained I think I found my place, now I’m on top of my game And I honor the flame Pass the torch and I’m running a mile a day This a sport, if I put in the effort I’m great Won’t abort, til acknowledged cross all of the stages, no more minimum wage The focus on success, the wanting to be next The losing all integrity to fit in with rest To seeing others blow who I felt I could upset The things I should accept, and hating wasn’t it Now I know what to do with the energy I get Take the bad vibes to the left, to the left Speaking it to existence, no more speaking in kitchens Microphone smell like chicken, good riddance Studio thuggin until I get it Binge writing, no binge watching I need a million Tread lightly, godly like Chris Lighty I see talent, I am talent, I’m so vibrant I always hear that the world is yours So now I’m chasing awards shows to garner my goals Focus on being debated as one of the goats Hoping I’ll never have to turn these boys to a ghost I’ve been living like I know ima boast From city to city, the bay to the coast I’m doing the most, the options are clear Take over the world, or stop and stay here And I don’t want the ladder Give me the premium choice, that comes with going platinum I’ll speak this shit in existence, you know that’s all that matters Don’t want an empty platter, give me all you can eat, women in fenty x savage And never average Above and beyond until I conquer rapping A blessing from god to keep my mind intact I’m referencing all, the time that I got left, yeah

I don’t wanna leave I wanna talk up a storm, hear the wind in my speech Hear the thundering breath, rip the roots under trees Leaving nothing untouched, the world will weary my steed Mariachi the pen, marching to different beats If I’m to say anything condescending, that would be Clearly the indigestion that anybody can see I never want them to see me, laying on a beach, teary eyed in defeat That’s something that I can probe Shake negativity out the cons, cleaning the pros I ain’t a entity, but the deities should have known I’m not a lonely man tryna shoulder the world alone I’m just a mortal man with some thoughts that needed expose Sanctuaries and poles, marriages on the ropes Grabbing on to the hope, never will I let go Searching for all the heat, so I can get out from the cold, so Glad to say I was home grown The rights and the wrongs only the lord knows I’m so gone, nights so short Hoping bad days don’t stay long I see light ways, ima take some Cleansing my plate before they take one I’m so gone, nights so short Hoping Bad days don’t Glad to say I was home grown The rights and the wrongs only the lord knows I’m so gone, nights so short Hoping bad days don’t stay long I see light ways, ima take some Cleansing my plate before they take one I’m so gone, nights so short Hoping bad days don’t Stay forever, I’m rooted out of my pot My roots are tailored to Pac’s, from momma aid to my pops Showing me how to rock, can’t you tell by walk The confidence send a shock, to anybody that stalks We livid, on our way to the vision Send the pay, and then double check just to make sure you get it Don’t you understand it’s tension in the family pitcher So we frame it and mix it, just to sweeten the image, And that was the intention I’m just minding my business, I can see them folk hissing I’m just keeping my distance, Making room on the mission And I’m far from finish And I’m running these laps, hoping my heart is intact, Really I’m taken aback By all of the different virtues you go and attack While leeching off the success of the ones you attract That’s really a mess Couldn’t help it, home grown, I’m just glad to say my roots looking healthy

I ain’t never trip Always put my best foot forward, you know how it is I’ve just been working so much that I don’t want to give Lately I’ve been thinking it’s more important to live More important for kids, the information I’ll give Hello, Hello, I’ll always be answering I’ll never be late again, I’ll always come make amends Cell phone, cell phone, I’m calling you up again, I’m calling you up again Girl, I just wanna call you on the phone But I just want you to listen I just wanna get you all alone And put you into submission We up all night, we ballin They texting, we calling I’m Never misused When I’m with you I call you on the phone I know you when you answer that you’re really not alone Argue through text and the messages are getting long Falsely inaccurate how you managed on your own A night with your shorties, I know your linking up You don’t wanna tell stories, because I’ll link them up You was my sunshine, just tell me the truth Just tell me the truth Girl, I just wanna call you on the phone But I just want you to listen I just wanna get you all alone And put you into submission We up all night, we ballin They texting, we calling I’m Never misused When I’m with you Im looking through everything that you sent Wonder whats happening, wandering places, I don’t know, walking to clear my head Thinking of what you said, happiness or regret Yet I regret to tell you that I am the happiest Needy as in Ari, we are not departed Free me as in solitude is not an honor I want us together but that’s not the option Crazy how things change quick, without a warning Girl, I just wanna call you on the phone But I just want you to listen I just wanna get you all alone And put you into submission We up all night, we ballin They texting, we calling I Never misused When I’m with you

Play it safe, I can feel the sun up on my face I can see the light the tunnel makes It’s a marathon I’m staying paced We from different worlds, what can I say You ain’t really good around this wa Honestly we just got different taste I’m about my cheddar, you be out here wasting plates We from different worlds, what can I say I be out here thinking that I’m good I don’t wanna get trapped in the hood I just want the world to know I could Take over the map, hit after hit like Tiger Woods And I know, actions speak louder than words and i better Get on wax, releasing these verses they hit like Berettas I know everything that I want right now and forever You know my time isn’t average hmm mm I cannot stop I’m on a roll Aim for the top Claiming the gold I’m gonna pop I’m gonna blow You already know Play it safe, I can feel the sun up on my face I can see the light the tunnel makes It’s a marathon I’m staying paced We from different worlds, what can I say You ain’t really good around this way Honestly we just got different taste I’m about my cheddar, you be out here wasting plates We from different worlds, what can I say I waited years, seeing everybody getting the bag I waited here, praying and just tryna perfect my craft A Dangerous mind is really needed for perilous path Turbulent times, really added to my character fast The cold times got rough, had a hard time gettin up The lord knows I’ve had enough, so A new city to erupt, the music scene living up So I’ma go in and up, oh I cannot stop I’m on a roll Aim for the top Claiming the gold I’m gonna pop I’m gonna blow You already know Play it safe, I can feel the sun up on my face I can see the light the tunnel makes It’s a marathon I’m staying paced We from different worlds, what can I say You ain’t really good around this way Honestly we just got different taste I’m about my cheddar, you be out here wasting plates We from different worlds, what can I say

Thank you to all the enemies, thank you for all this energy I’ll replicate the synergy Only to tell you, you can’t get rid of me I’m forever here in history Still recording until I find me the missing link or the missing piece To access all of the imagery from my memories I was feeling like nobody would remember me, rather that than the end of me So you how i tend to be Thinking that I could master the industry Thinking I’m super goated artistically Feeling like I just conquered my past Renovating my the present, the future is in the bag Get it, now my foot on gas Never stopping I’m really moving too fast And my brain in rush, accustomed to that Thinking about my future, i think my career will last Everything that I’ve said The mic, recording the thoughts i got In my head The fight, we battle through all the nausea stares Steady climbing the stairs, wonder when I’ll appear Standing over the edge Days when the packaging wasn’t there So I had to deliver on what was shared And I couldn’t just mimic on what was there And I get it, struggled to admit it I ain’t have the ethic to uncover my ambition Living in a attic tryna mix and master visions Hoping that you listen Hoping that it’s pure enough to sell it out the kitchen Hoping the my lyrics are as catchy as a hit is, out the park when I hit it Look, I see the world in the rear view I’m aiming at the top, I want the crew and the clear view

about

debut commercial mixtape

Sign of the Times is my debut commercial release. With that being said, I wanted to give the world a wide variety of records. I wanted to showcase my ability to reach into different sounds and rapping styles for this project. Being my inception project, I wanted the first wave of listeners to know you are not getting a mediocre artist, but someone who has a very diverse palette of influences and uses those to his advantage when creating. And I'm happy with the final project and I'm finally ready for the world to hear it.

Without further adieu, Sign of the Times.
