My vision gold Bitch it’s no filter when I’m in the cove In the grove, bird bitches tripping like they pigeon toed Been dope, ya hoe suck dick under mistletoe Rich or poor The pen gon explode on ya kinfolk These men broke Holy moly Lone goin for 10 in a row The work ethic show when I’m at home Blowing bowls, only role I need hold is the goat Rode a boat into the sunset while smokin the dope Tokin afloat Potions potent, slow motion I roll Folders’ll show golden quotes in the songs Dosing the Lucy Press record on a score to a movie Man the loose leafs looking like a script to a new sequel I move equal to a viper, dude, peep the features Bitch you move equal to a snake and that’s a smooth creature Flew deeper You gatekeep like zookeepers Brew ether Cooking this crack, you need to do research At night I walk along the beach wit my bitch Chiefing the piff You incels need an assist Pleading the fifth Never speak unless it’s me on the mix Fanon dropping bombs just for me to heat to a crisp Bitch It’s smoke & mirrors then the rental van bend Fan the fire, blow the sears, fuck the fear of revenge Ran ten miles now the plan to do a extra ten Press the weapon in his head and tell him press me again I’m only here to make ya mental transcend Pan the lens in the camera, Lync the man to ban trends Hand the pencil to the band members Watch the way they scatter embers on the edge of the lands end Lost in thought In life I’m just playing my part Smoke darts on a walk in the park Chalk art My flaws all a part of the cost Become a boss Get lost in the teachings I taught Yea Reaching up just to see a star You Freezing up like a 2 liter sitting on the seat on the car In December, smoke sess, don’t remember Rochester be the reason Lync droppin these embers

Karma keep calling Lucky penny finding Peep the science man, the goal's to get Lone in ya sinus More grinding My only hope is ya flow dying Don’t try it anymore muhfucka, you a minus I’m a plus Roll the Dutch, pull the clutch, Lync applying force Drive the porsche, folding up the bucks from the rhymes recorded I’m the tortoise you the hare sleeping on the job While I speed off and win the race just from ceasing to stop Freeze the block, teeth cheesing for guap Breathe pot in the vehicle, chiefin' reefer just to keep me in line The trees lime, Lync the reason for crime Kissin pink, you sipping drink and sniffing lines to get by These piff highs get me in sync right Admit one, permit son to enter, bent the pencil to Lync’s height Ya friends fight and make up the next night If someone wrong me I either forgive em then, or it’s forever on sight Measuring heights just to treasure this flight Levitation Lessons they came wit a blessing up in the skies Feathers fly, my pleasure ain’t in severin' ties But if guys gon go against me, you gon' reap all the odds Peekin the blinds I’m seeking out a piece of the pie Free vibes The mission is to ditch the fuckin scene of the crime Bitch
4.
This blunt right here, it got me feeling bulletproof Don’t pull cuz it shoot The puff, puff, pass turned to 'poof, poof' Move over, the smooth roller comin' thru thru thru I been ghost cuz my mood been blue, but who’s who I’m in a hot tub, the pot stuffed inside of the potluck Drop love for drugs cuz they gon always prop me up The psilocybin never enough Need to do some time traveling and try to unravel life as it was As it is, as it always exist The matrix glitch quickly, fuck they comin' to get me from out of the sticks Move swift And never backtrack ya steps kid Too many turn back when they feel they been bested Invested enough of this energy for my next kin Pressed when they don’t recognize they being tested
5.
Taking dabs, taking tabs of acid Feeling passive It’s blasphemous how they package this whack shit The hat spin, magician told me "homie, it’s magic" The last bitch that told me that ended up as a past bitch They mass worship people not worthy It’s more than being fans nowadays, people really try to copy ya life Then play it off like they bout that life That shit weird homie, go get a life I mean your own tho The old flow reincarnated into a smoke show It's boatloads of dough incoming for running both tho For Lone hoe, the gold medal champion for throwing blows Dope leaf overdosing, smoking in the Poconos The quest for truth go on forever ever ever ever You lookin' at the best in the biz when it come to letters Cheese feta Summer breeze better than winter cold Pinch me hoe, I need to wake up from this dream I been on Right now

Penny pinching it Makin' sure my bases loaded, bro don’t trip again Dojo living, no Master Sensei Taught myself this pro conditioning Don’t know how to make dough, then homie you’ll fold This game not made for participants I’m envisioning What makes this clock tick and tick and tick again Life keep moving forward, but "where’s the reward?" they say Muhfucka we livin' it! Strife keep people from scoring, but if you ignore it, then the shit go up in increments Might get the liquor and pour it, light a Newport, then I discover what my feelings is People been feeling and seeing the vision since Lemons Linens, bitch you know how I’m dealing it Rose to the ceiling, Lone know how to make dough from his own shows, that’s serious Broke and delirious, mold to the .44, but I won’t fold, no giving in Nobody hearing him yet, but it’s only a matter of time before everyone feeling it Everyone mirror the skill, but who really gon' go home and make sure these bitches all witness it Bitch Ima finish him, final attack always super effective I’m finna get reckless, protection won’t do shit I move wit the steppers, it’s effortless when they diminishing He lookin thirsty, replenish him Then we go duck off the premises Promise the premise of this story is to make glory by fuckin the game up wit sentences Shoot out the stars bitch She boot up when I’m in the car Lil shawty a star bitch Breaking down packs of this weed to put in a cigar We moving the bar bitch You making it seem like you don’t even move far We shoot for the stars bitch Making sure my plate clean, the grease and all Shoot out the stars bitch She boot up when I’m in the car Lil shawty a star bitch Breaking down packs of this weed to put in a cigar We moving the bar bitch You making it seem like you don’t even move far We shoot for the stars bitch Making sure my plate clean, the grease and all
7.
That one perfume just intoxicate me Bitch you bad, bitch you know what you doing, don’t take me Every inch you get closer, feel the world get further Piff burner, shit, she everything I ever would need Yo We go on night adventures every night Switching the plight Feel like a dream when we seeing these sights together We skateboarding on the lake in the late night And spray painting statements on a bridge near the gravesite That’s all me My favorite thing to realize Is that when you are here wit me I’m the only one that can see your eyes Hear your cries Under the moonlight feeling sublime Dismissing other bitches cuz it’s you on my mind You hear me? We walk and talk and spark on top of the parking garage Look in my face and it look like I just saw a mirage The night is right, look at the city from all the highest heights The flyest nights wit my lil shawty, rockin her flyest nikes Disregard the bitches I been thru Cuz girl when I met you, I ain’t know I’d be over my head soon At peace when I’m in bed laying round you I love how I could make you cum a hundred times and you still want round 2 I wake up wit you and I’m feeling right Usually I’d dip in the morning but I’m so glad that I stayed the night Savor this feeling for my whole life Its a shame you gone, but if I learned one thing Is that’s life

I see this life thru a purple lens The Benz swerving, they mentioning this murder murder to all they friends Peep the pen Obsolete to trends, making ends meet to flee the continent I’m tryna see across the Red Sea Gleam wit no neck piece Arrest me? Preachers deadly to a open mind From the altar, bitch they breaking all the levees The mission is to live inside ya brain but the rent free Homie think he lit, but he could never turn the crowd against me The zen reacher, gems seeping over the brim Sending hate messages to my demons Need to tell em no Fuck the bench seat, I need to steal the show Metacritic album reviews, a benji be the goal Reaching in my pocket for dro, the profit show Pocket low amounts from rap, but I’m grinding fasho Problems eventually go Chronic mixed up wit psilocybin feel the pride in the glow The pine box polished solid for my foes Tropical flows, you never seen this weather on the coast Never better, this pest turned to goat, Merlot The cone in my hand surely burn slow The fur coat was inverted, furnish scurvy shit for the hoes I might have me a night tonight But then again, I might stay in and keep conditioning my sights tonight It’s Eiffel-like, the zeitgeist heist shine bright in the sky like Rihanna diamonds Beat on a beat cuz you know the rhymes supplying Might be dying, but I’m too distracted by the writing science Bite the bias, fuck opinions, man yall is not my clients No appliance other than when I apply the force of shamans Morph the driest beats wit the art of rhyming Bought assignments, scribbled on all these pages to form a strong alliance Born a pilot, never descending, fix up the form and fly it Talk to psychics My 5 senses start multiplying These dudes can’t sit still, they pick the kids meal These stigmatism magicians barely spinning the pinwheel I been real, you pussies ain’t even in the windshield I been shielded, pissing off the foes, winning in skill You getting lost drippin' in sauce, kick the exhaust Start the car, Mars the destination we can explore Drawing the sword, morph to war, whore it’s portions galore Chloroform in the raw elixir, boy I’m flipping the score I might be in the sky Might be in the trees, the peach growing off leaves up high Just keep me in mind Just keep me in mind I might be in the sky Might be in the trees, the peach growing off leaves up high Just keep me in mind Just keep me in mind

Spiritual lightning striking when you least expect it Peaches in the bowl, peace of mind defeat the hugest weapon Mess wit destiny, you rest in peace and don't get resurrected Remember that miracle you wished for could be your death wish This life come wit one try, I’m one guy Tryna make this one life the best one life that one guy could provide Supply vibes others can’t, make em shake inside Pacing by the room adjacent to the place where they reside I know in time I’ll get the chance to say I told em so But I ain’t rushing shit, this spliff gettin me comatose The motorboat how fast I go Only your homies know you slow as shit, but it’s obvious you ain’t on the totem pole Sgt. Pepper on my speed dial Loving this beach breeze, deflect all the negatives with ease now Fuck a prerelease stunt, I’ll release now Surprise drop and still fuck up this whole scene’s sound You never know the vibe when my MO and smoke combine I’m dosing psilocybin, never dozing, fuck it, never dying Never trying to fuck wit anyone, but they take to heart what I supply when writing the lines I’m just makin art so freely You bozo’s never could defeat me Reaching maximum potential wit the pencil, shit get beastly Dweebs watching features on TV I’m doing the shit that you see on TV while chiefing on seaweed I’m out in nature feeling placed Bout my paper till the grave Kill the opponents, bonus points if you hit em in the brain Make they grave where they lay I said Make they grave where they lay Pussy

They know it’s Lone cuz he surrounded in mist The mythic legend, flipping treasures, sprinkle grab in the spliff The cliffs edge seem steeper on the edge of that bitch My levitation lessons paid off, ascend to these hymns Immensely devoted, try to write raps so that you know I wrote it Overquote it, do what you gotta do to get over homie Stole the key and fixed that shit inside a boulder homie No one gon find it, they might try it, but we both know it’s hopeless The mountain peak got a certain gleam to it The skyline pink, every other dream lucid Be stupid if you want, but I know you know the truth kid Loose leaf paper getting lit up in this booth, bitch It’s been your move for 10 minutes You just gon sit in front of the board, or you finally gon try to win this? My whole life been spittin it independent Figured out a way to bend my biggest dreams into writtens Roll piff inside the Bible, Lone blitzed upon arrival Pulpits up on the altar deciding who’s a disciple Fuck survival I’m tryna get to the finals, not the trial Turn the dial up all the way, this wave tidal Hitting all ya vitals, send you in a spiral, instincts is primal Just think and get in sync wit rivals Drink vials of elixir, mix the liquid wit cryogenic methods of preservation so they sink in the bayou Bitch Thru all these drives and rides and smoke clouds I wrote down each step of the journey and told crowds We don’t know shit about this world we in The earth it spin, but what is really happening? You better make your moves without thinking You gonna waste time contemplating about every decision But what the fuck does Lone know anyway I’m just a mere mortal seeking peace and reaching for space Bitch They know it’s Lync cuz he surrounded in smoke The potions slowly start to kick in, mixed it up in the coke The Trench coat black, so at night it look like a cloak Been exposing all these posers tryna act like the goat Intensely I wrote it, try to write raps so that you know I’m golden Mold a coldish flow in motion picture form, I'm bout to show it Roll the weed and put that shit inside a stogie homie Police won’t try us, and if they do, shit I’ll light the bogey The Newport lit, my new fort lit Ya crew ain’t on shit, you too gone bitch Just move on bitch The booth ignite in fire when I step in the mix The truth never gone show itself to a liar, so be legit You better make your moves without thinking You gonna waste time contemplating about every decision But what the fuck do I know anyway I’m just a mere mortal seeking truth so we could be saved Thru all these drives and rides and smoke clouds I wrote down each step of the journey and told crowds We don’t know shit about this world we in The earth it spin, but what is really happening? You better make your moves without thinking You gonna waste time contemplating about every decision But what the fuck does Lone know anyway I’m just a mere mortal seeking peace and reaching for space Bitch

Acid cigs need the buzz to gimme a lift The bud get lit up in all forms, smoking the piff I roll it quick, bitch, can’t afford to procrastinate These bastards want cake And "congratulations" The town mayor ain’t proud of all the proclamations The worst option sometimes is the safest To twist words takes a heart of gold or a spaceship Makeshift vision I world build wit patience Keep waiting … That’s what they all say But what about if I decide to do this shit and take the long way The way where I do it myself and make it worth the hard days The way where I’m writing on top the rock in the hard place Man you never know what could happen That’s why I always say "you never know homie" fore I start rappin' Start trapping for this quick cash or you could start rappin' Most don’t wanna put in the work ethic to get it crackin tho
12.
This my heel turn, smoking to feel me a burn The unspoken always come to fruition bitch Don’t be a bird If they burn me when I die, steal the urn Peel the whip out, and scatter my ashes around the city where I get down That’s Rochester Round the corner where they pop hecklers Ride specially tinted vehicles while I dodge death Light the sess up while checkin off my checklist of tasks Bitch get ya bread up, this rap shit the reason I don't rest Feeling vexed, the pressure points on me could never be pressed This life a test but shit could also be the best if you make it that This shit could also be the best if you make it that Pay the tax what they suggest So they could make it back Face the facts, we all the rats, and they gon race the rats Knowledge of self make the world unfold But I'm still here smoking bowls on bowls on bowls Knowledge of self make the world unfold But I'm still here smoking bowls on bowls on bowls
13.
Hands off the wheel, ain’t no cruise control either Whip it with my knees, the vehicle go 80 down the street I’m in predicaments, predicting to win, pacing the heat This evil mission ain’t commissioned from him, bitch this shit from me The Plot Thickens CD in the V Slid the disc in next to Acid Jazz, the pastor passed the chalice to me Balancing free wit dope music be a challenge to keep But I’d rather they hear this shit then go broke just tryna see See Coat hoodie beanie I could never go wrong Cozy clothes in the winter snow at least I won’t be for long Tokin the bong, frozen solid Sword polish the stone Sharpen the blade, march in place, soldier follow me home Bottles be gone off one swallow, wallow oddly to flows Throttle be full, posture never hunched over, lunch for the soul Punch and roll Punch and roll Take the punches as they roll You’ll never get hungry from being full
14.
On the walk home, the trees start to morph into art forms Bought 4 loosies at the store, now I’m smokin' a raw Float far The goal's to get Lone in the stars Gold chains don’t define who you are Yea Flying over the craters until the vapor gone Play the song until these tastemakers all play along Smoking at daybreak, you know I’m blazin strong Know the motion, look both ways before you wade across The water Voss THC oil in the sauce, feeling lost, when the weed hit, I cough Peace to the gods Wherever Lone go, he receiving applause The peace offering was clearly a farse Paper long, the Lake is calm, my brain gone, bake the bong Formulating these capers, ya fate is in my palm The way I showed em was wrong Never ask the enemy for directions unless you ready to bomb, bitch The velvet robe fit so slick My eldest homies showed me the way to go since I was a kid Dosing the 'cid, hit the peak, then I’m smokin' a cig I’m going in, tryna Show all my foes who Lone is The way you flow, shit hopeless Portraying personas you don’t live up to, I'm abducting the globe bitch Ya skin thin like you a locust I’m always tryna tell em man, the motion sickness come wit the boat trip Stoned blowing explosives Overflowing dope, peep the smoke, causin hella commotion, yea The pen in motion, been approaching opponents, Spoke omens for a quota, now they quoting the omens Bitch Fuck the world This life only swine and pearls Feel divine as a line unfurl Rhymes twirl I say it straight, you doing ya curls Girls used to mean the world to me, my vision was swirled Bitch Fuck ya feelings I used to ride shotty for dealings Rose up til I bust thru the ceiling Trust healing Good luck just a way to conceal it You really wanna get up, you gotta rush to steal it
15.
November nights turn December frights Plenty lights shining on this Lone soul, but they hella bright Sell it right, never spend ya life tryna bend the price Pen the right words in the verse when the pencil write Approach me for advice, I'll prolly tell ya "get in tune with yourself and you gon be ight", yea That’s the mantra, I sponsor these gonzo’s and ganja Ya honcho get Pop Smoke'd and stomped up The Benz blanco Commence a wave, they need a poncho These pawns only stay till the shop closed You loitering, I’m hittin' potholes Swerving this cab down University Ave till a pop blow the tire out Tired of trying, I might confide in doubt Tryna prove my worth to the team, but I ain’t trying out You stay inside the house, whining till ya time is out I stay outside for the cash, supplying for a drought Furthermore, I burn a Raw and float above the surface I’m dying trying to get it, peace to those who purchase But if you stream it for free, I ain’t mad tho Cuz to this very day, I got the opposite of mad dough The black hole of being mad broke Cam said if you can’t find a way to get it than you worthless, so I stack more Ya lasso is slack rope Man tryna be god and then get tight when he not How you bouta get mad bro? This Maslow hierarchy is facts doe You can’t go and skip all the steps, you just a average joe They giving you the pity smile like a bad joke Still dipping out for a cigarette when it’s mad cold You know the MO Hear the tempo and you get the memo Rolling this endo into extendos Fuck a demo
