Values 03:54
Verse 1: i started off inside a world full of rhythm and beats and it got to me that there might be a position for me behind this music i could use it consume it and make a usage rather than feeling broken, poor, completely useless my own determination got me wanting it all every pyramid i climb can't falter and fall and i would give it out for free its a personal joy but also an occupation, and its self employed and if you value what you do you should give it a price its not a greedy state of mind just a piece of advice its only ninety nine sense not a lot in a track if you change it to percents thats a lot in a rap and the one cent left full of stress and nonsense to separate myself from a basic content cuhz if assimilated, really nothing is new i shot down my pride, and my thoughts of value Hook: so what's your values what you put in a price and what's your values what you put in a mic what's your values when you taking a life and what's your values how your living tonight(x2) Verse 2: some call it business earning interest a commission and dues and if you love your nine to five then this saying is true if you enjoy what you do every day and a night then you'll never have to work another day in your life and if you're good at what your doing never do it for free its not a robbery its not selling out your beliefs cuhz everybody gotta eat or a baby to feed so its an honest waste of talent and the power recieved like a superhero hiding in the guise of a man and he's afraid, what he does, not according to plan but, you can change a life and make some changes in yours its not a war or a quest, a figure your fighting for feelings of satisfaction, something achieved like when you made it to the top and its easy to breathe cuhz its not about the money, its a personal gain but if it comes along, take the fortune and fame Hook: so what's your values what you put in a price and what's your values what you put in a mic what's your values of you living a dream and what's your values of you making a means(x2) Verse 3: and this time is limited, death becomes imminent everything you work, deserts, divide dividends i don't wanna end, pretend its all evident even in my death i'll still be unlimited thinking out loud, for a closer approach so all the people in the crowd know, what're my goals i lay it out its in the open, like a scar from a knife its ironic cuhz i hide behind a shadow of light and the reason could be any or a many or few its like an ante to a gamble that i'm waiting to lose its like a different point of view, different color of chips and its a reason why a player hates the aces he gets cuhz the pot is never big everybody is fold so do winners ever win when the tables are cold but its either big or small, how they see the amount in the end its not the money, but the player that counts Hook: so what's your values what you put in a price and what's your values what you put in a mic what's your values in a bad and a right and what's your values in a shadow of light(x2)

Fly 04:00
Verse 1: tell me i'll never make it that flying is but impossible your dreams are never worth it you circling every obstacle pointing out the problems in a state of confusion you got a lot of nerve to talk when you're not a solution and now you're clipping all my feathers and its hard to react before i'm blinking, now i'm sinking from a stab in the back and all these hunters got a rifle and they aiming to shoot if i could lose them for a second in this mountainous view then maybe i can show my homie that its better at top instead of said and done and doing things to making a stock but its lonely in the efforts, and its usually fruitless lot of journies that begin have a moment of weakness i don't wanna be somebody in the thought of regret so i gotta take a leap of faith every chance that i get so let me open up my wings disappear with a flash this path is never easy, what i'll tell you is that Verse 2: and i swear inside this scenery places that i be seeing is a different point of view a cleaner air i'm breathing where the reason is clear my future without a shade of grey nothing in my way can stop from seeing clear as day put me in the open a center of field of fires let my body turns to ash, gradually getting higher another day in motion and the only way to focus is breaking communications with people of no importance i know its the reality casually make fatalities of friends and family memebers, blinded by my insanity visions in my eyes are binded by seven demons while i'm reaching for the sky they dragging me down with em the weaker that i'm getting the reaper is getting closer but i'm almost at the exit just a hundred foot border feeling is overboard, not a second left to waste you make it or you don't, its a chance that shouldn't wait

In This Day 04:29
Verse 1: put me in a broken home ill turn it to a mansion, a palace give me a dirty cup ill turn it into lil jon's chalice balance of power ruins these minds of weaker people who doesn't see beneath this surface there's greater evil like the moment you shine, every moment that your famous the game is confusing, using you, jokers in a circus nowadays i'm nervous when the purpose is defeated believing in something bigger is just bound to be deleted expecting something different is the outcome of insanity happily ever after the nevers of reality peace and love and all the good things above in containers of a drug like an opium overdose to focus, my emotion, my motive, my hesitation like guns, locked and loaded, send a communication and the message it begins, "should a Dark Knight rise, even superhero's fall, every man has a price" Hook: in this day... where every man goes blind the only thing you see is, what you left behind in this day... where the sun don't shine a bullet in your head is what, crossed your mind Verse 2: now is it my position to tell you what you should listen to is information granted to topple the ones on top of you if knowledge is power then the root of all evil are people who makes comparisons between fair and equal so judge and jury, and hypocritiques in the pack what goes around will come around and stab you in the back surely as i know it, its maybe my new lowest the closer the oppurtunity comes i run over it spinning the wheels of destiny, never to hit the lottery lot of luck involved with physical technicalities barely bury the very truth we deny for moments of happiness several seconds of sunshine like rolling the dice, everybody gets a numb3r and the bottom of the roll gets delivered in a gutter its butter to a knife like a shadow to a light and the only thing you change is the outcome of your life Hook: in this day... where every day goes night you can never take back, what you take from life in this day... as you hold this knife you're a puppet on a string, can't control your life Verse 3: if its fame and fortune the money that really matters most then paper trails are nothing like catching another friendly ghost this parasite and host are like a banquet to the toast closest things in common are the bullets from your throats so user beware, use of immediate software attracts a bad attention like appliance of spyware and everybody knows the only way to keep a secret, the secret is kill the memory before it gets repeated don't wanna be reminded of finding a different mindstate state of mind is missing when there's nothing in the bank the tank is half empty, putting pressure on the gas and the only question now, how long will i last its a mountain of a drive, and im barely at the median God is this a joke, you must be a comedian cuhz every other path and with every other way comes 25 to life and forever and a day Hook: in this day... where you wish to die and the memories you hold can't be kept alive and this day... hope it ends tonight but you know that this day is 25 to life
