The Quest 05:42
[Intro] Yeah Look I never been the type to take love And never ever will I fake love But maybe we can make love, yeah I kinda like those things you do You know I still got that thing for you And maybe I can teach you a thing or two, yeah And maybe we can touch a cloud We might not make our parents prou But, fuck it Cause I be on some cool shit But I ain't tryna prove shit If you ain't tryna be down Then we can just be cool, shit Forreal though, like We should leave it to the birds to hide We might not make it to the other side But tell me is you down to ride? Cause they'll miss us, before we miss them And they'll diss us, no matter what we give them So like, fuck it You down? Or nah? This is the quest You are now on cloud number nine [Verse 1] Sometimes, I sit and wonder if it is what you say You see, I know I got you feeling some kinda way I'm trying to feel at home at that place that you stay Or we can get it poppin' in some shit far away I still feel like I'm on a quest for you Getting dressed feeling like I'm getting dressed for you Opinionated but you make me digress for you And I know you gotta do what's best for you So I'm [Pre-Chorus] On cloud nine Up past my bedtime No rest at the kingdom I'm up in my zone but I'm not alone All that I can think of is We should get higher We can get higher [Chorus] Let's start rollin' up on this and let's get higher Let's get higher Let's get higher Let's get higher (x2) I just wanna say I'm yours, I'm yours I just wanna say I'm yours, I'm yours I know you think I'm playing But I'm yours, I'm yours I'm yours, I'm yours I just wanna say I'm yours, I'm yours I know you think I'm playing But I'm yours, I'm yours [Verse 2] You see, I think it's dope that We got two different minds We got two different paths And we on two different grinds We got two different style And stand on two different ceilings But damn, some kinda way We got identical feelings, it's like I been through hell to get right where I am, and You been through hell to get right where you are I think it's meant to be that we're right where we are So if you ever wander just don't wander too far I'm still [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] But you wasn't really real You ain't even really fuck with me All this time passed and the shit still fucks with me Got me thinking if the shit is what it's suppose to be You said it was good but the shit just sucked to me And you was just bad luck to me Could have been the one But you was just bad luck to me [Verse 3] Ayo I'm the guy that's always tryna get high And sometimes I like to leave and be at one with the sky And that's when I get to thinking, damn another lonely night Seem like love not for me So I'm just loving my mic I been through hell and back Tryna fill this hole in my heart And it fails, it just fails And I'm just back at the start My sanity then departs And revenge is what I'm craving Bodies dropping, steady plotting Thinking 'bout assassination As my guard gets stronger Hit-list gets longer Am I forever alone? This the shit that I ponder Are you out there in the world Or did you already leave it? If this is what love is Then shit I don't really need it So it's just back to the mic And it's just back to the grind No more opening up No more wasting my time [Outro] Ima, ima be up here on a cloud 'Til I think it's time to re-up on the loud Midnight on Cloud Nine

Now I'm wondering where I'll be I looked in the mirror Don't quite know what I see Now I wake up with hesitation Still wishing heaven had a visitation [Pre-Chorus] Gotta get away turn off my phone Maybe I was meant to be alone Take another shot of the Patrón And I'm gone, gone [Chorus] I can hear the gunshot in my head I sleep with the darkness in my bed I'm not the same and I'll never be, no I can see the light shine from the moon But I still feel the darkness in my room I'm not the same and I'll never be, no [Verse 2] Wondering where the time went Now I'm wondering where my mind went I swear yesterday I was on ten And now I'm wondering where my nine went [Pre-Chorus] 3am blowing up my phone He was left bleeding all alone Had to tell my parents on my own On my own, own [Chorus] [Verse 3] Woken up out of my sleep Another faded night at the spot Had a bunch of missed calls and some missed texts Saying "yo brother was shot" I'm like "tell me that he's still breathing" "You don't know nobody that stayed?" He like "everybody took off running" "And all I know is that it happened at The Palisades" "And I heard it was the football team" It was gunshots and blood shed JSU never called my parents To tell em that their son was dead Man I fought for you like crazy But I screamed when your casket went down the grave And they say that life goes on but Fuck that, I'll never flip the page And I swear I'll never forget you Man I just wanna be with you And why couldn't they take me and not you I wish God would tell me he meant to He was gone too soon Why they stop his shine, why they stop his shine They say time heals pain Guess I need more time, guess I need more time Man them bitch niggas jumped my brother And I still remember they names And I got plans of fucking revenge Shit I might be fucking insane Man I just miss my brother You don't even know the half of what I been through What's the phone number to heaven?

Sinner 03:58
Real rap nigga [Verse 1] You got one life to live Gone head and be you Gone head and be free They gone love it when you do But wait, hold up Cause that ain't really true They don't really like it when you really being you They don't wanna know about the shit you really do About the sins you commit by the people that you screw About the shit you really do About the sins you commit by the people that you screw [Hook] (If it all goes well then I will) Please Lord just forgive me for my sins Please Lord just forgive me for my sins (But what if I don't?) Just forgive me for my sins Please Lord just forgive me for my sins And I just be minding my business It's no secret, its just none of your business (I'll be right where I was before) [Verse 2] I remember nights I couldn't get no sleep Haunted by my thoughts man the shit got deep I remember crying cause I wanted to change Who knew my own self could bring so much pain? And I still don't know if the world is ready for me Wait, just cause you straight You think you better than me? How the hell you gonna tell me bout the way that I'm living? How the hell you even know we got the same religion? Man the way I live don't determine shit for you Why these niggas so worried bout the shit that I do? You still better have it when that rent is due Shit I bet I probably pull more bitches than you I guess it's hard to see it for a nigga like me Cause I ain't what you'd expect Man I'm just what you see So used to the memes So used to the lies So used to the extremes Cause that's all that you see Like on the TV, they're either giving out AIDS Or they're really flamboyant Either way a disappointment But fuck the TV this is real fucking life Got scars on my wrist from that steel fucking knife This is real fucking life Got scars on my wrist from that... I don't expect no show ups if I get married But it's cool cause I ain't really got the plans to You see it'd be great if I was straight Cause I could give my parents the grandchild Ryan didn't have the chance to And I could be the man my father wanted me to be I just hope it's pride he feels when he's looking at me I'm sorry that I couldn't be the son that you wanted I'm sorry for all those big dreams that I haunted No football jersey, we never went fishing But you never dipped out, no you never went missing And I love you dad, I thank God every night for you Just know if I could I would change overnight for you And now I'm saying cheers to the teenage years I'm looking in the mirror just to face my fears But I gotta do me I can't worry bout the simple minded I lost my sanity and now I'm stuck tryna find it [Hook] [Verse 3] Look I know you got your views And I ain't really tryna mix that Things are always changing And I can't really fix that But it's been fucking with me Every time I'm alone it be fucking with me Cause I was so worried bout the friends I would lose Would my niggas be my niggas If I told them the news? Would they still hit me up When it's time to make moves Or would they bail cause they fail to propel and approve? But I'm still the same Damez Still wear the fly clothes Still rock the fly kicks Still blow the same O's Still riding in that Benz and Flexing with my friends and Doing everything but tryna fucking blend in Headed for that limelight Tryna get my mind right High as a plane cause I live that cloud nine life Tryna get my grind tight It's getting better every day And it's still fuck what these niggas say [Hook] (If it all goes well then I will) Real talk though Fuck these niggas Do you, forreal (But what if I don't?) Please Lord just forgive me for my sins
