I said what? have we Become to We use to be congruent but now we look confused Convoluted in our views, we use to love But now all we do is argue and kick and fuss Speaking of us I've been waiting for this moment Focused keeping open focus on my motives closing in Floating on a dream like an ocean breeze When I'm flowing over beats you can hear me growing-Freeze Stay cool in the middle of the heat In the middle of Middle East I've been a beast since little league Sixteen I was literally, mean I mean lyrically Fiend, Crème of the crop ain't no stopping us A breath of fresh air in the thick of the metropolis They say the apocalypse is here, but I don’t follow it Cuz this is just the beginning, now try and swallow it The walking dead watch the Walking Dead and they're following Blind in their consciousness it's kinda sick Cannabis burning in the sun My life always started on the one when the drum hits I let the sun kiss my face as I embrace life Use to have stage fright, chop beats in the late night And work early bird gets the worm and Trying to make an earning, merging through traffic Trying not to panic, panning left and right through these mannequins Just so I can make rent, Trying to fight my way in I’m here to make statement The life's limitless, salvage my innocence Trying to make sense of it, chase dividends Pardon me, that’s just a part of me It’s just the art in me Pardon my honesty It's all heart and artery, it's all love. Love, I’m not trying to preach it Funny how we always lose the ones that tried to teach it Now that's the secret, it’s all love.

"US" Sometimes I write music, for the fuck of it But most times it's for the love of it I must've been a dreamer In my last lifetime Cuz every night I catch a glimpse of my future When I shut my eyes I touch the sky but keep my feet planted on my roots Not afraid to toot my own horn I was born for this I was made a king brought to earth without my wings Just words to sing with so just listen Glisten in the sun like her lips with a kiss from her tongue Get a rush like a hit from the blunt to the lungs And it burns like my crave from the cradle to the grave I promised I'd always stay the same never change In my ways I was stuck in a maze In a place called hell I helped built myself And the lessons I've dealt with And I’m selfish reckless with dough I know sometimes I can't help it I never had a lot I never had much But at least I got you And at least we got love And at least we got us He grew up all alone, always in his own zone Living for the moment and he knew it all along That he didn’t belong with the rest of the kids That’s why he always kept quiet and kept in his own business Middle of the night, mind roaming like a nomad Scribble in his notepad There’s gotta be more to this life And this world and this earth and what’s worse is Trying to find his purpose through a mic and a verse Learned lessons the hard way Outkast like Andre Use to serve entrees Now its 5 beats a day like he's Kanye I thought I heard em say Nothings every promised tomorrow today But he'll find a way And he'll fight it out And he takes the pain And he writes it down Elevate right off the ground There’s no stopping him now He turned around started jotting this down He said He looked her in the eyes and wondered if this could be it The goodbye and the end after all of these years And hes holding back tears from the pain that he feels But he won’t let it show cuz he knows that She just wanted more and he couldn’t afford her She changed for the worse and you gotta move forward As she walks through the door and out of his life He can’t let her go, he ran outside He said

"TRUST" I know this life aint easy and it's certainly not Sometimes it feels like they purposely plot against me But I can't stop working these blocks I’m in a knot trying to make guap out of Hip hop Trying to make dollars of my senses Throw my sense in to make sentences and make cents make percentage Senseless at times but this life is defined by What we can create so I free on the break On the beats when I lace em, like J's on occasion But nowadays I'm on my grown shit Growing by the minute doing my own thing I gotta be a man now Take responsibility plan out Stand out in the crowd like I never belonged here They say they love you but they really just don’t care You wanna have fun baby we can both go there I know that it’s no fair There’s too much pressure in your life to succeed But trust and just trust me and keep on thrusting And keep on loving and keep on dreaming Believe in yourself cuz nobody else will I know how you feel so just Trust I’m just an ordinary guy trying to make it by Trying to make a life out of writing my life out Living for the right now cuz I’m not sure about Tomorrow might never come today might be the one I speak my native tongue Manila I made it from That’s why I’m always showing love, it’s Manila in my blood My grandpa was a guerilla, in the jungles huddled up Machete ready to bust for freedom and justice For people just like us and the fight continues In our own life and struggles but I know you got it in you Every day I contemplate, what if he never made it out safe? He literally fought in the fog trust in God That he'll make it back alive TO look at my grandma's eyes That’s something I recognize everyday that I rise That's why I'm thankful for my life It’s the least I could do Stay true pay my dues and make it through the fight Fight through the pain for a slice of the cake That’s barely big enough for an appetite for a day I write for the change in the world I wanna see But before that has to be, I gotta start with me I know this life aint easy, it was never suppose to So here’s a little hope to hold on to Sometimes it’s too much and I know that you’re long due But trust and just hold on I know what you’re going thru Just Trust

"Just In Case" Just in case I don’t make it by tomorrow or the next day Here’s my message to the world when you press play To my homies in the city out in the west bay Daly City on the grind trying to make pay Ay, they deny me like Dikembe But I see through the hate like an x-ray On point like the page where my pen lays (lace) Beats like shoestrings on some fresh j's I was "Born" and made to "Elevate" to the occasion Adapt and evolve "Become" one with my second nature Traits of a higher learned minded guided by the light That’s blinding to most but I shine like I’m suppose to Abstract thoughts over jazz beats From my soul to the soles of my feet to concrete jungles beneath Underground sounds where we dig crates For breaks and loops to tell the truth on I move on Stay progressive no insurance coasting slow With my homies on the road Never made the honor roll My heart's always been with the arts of the dreamers Far from a star but I’m hard on the beats when Guitar strings pluck like feathers on a bird And for better or for worse I'mma get my last words in Versus the world it's just me and my girl Fighting away so just in case I don't make it by tomorrow Or the next day Here’s my message to the Stay humble in my struggles it’s the classic story of A starving artist falling in love I’m just growing up I guess I've never known less But to be no one else but myself I keep it honest I promised I don’t know the rest cuz I haven’t wrote it yet It’s the story of my life living with no regrets And accept no substitutes shoot for the stars No excuses play it smart Now watch me raise the bar Just in case I don’t make it by tomorrow or the next day Shout out to the "Boogie Monstarz" and "Press Play" To my homies in the city out in south sac All day on the grind trying to bounce back To my hometown city of trees And to all my haters steady sleeping on me Here’s a pillow for your head Filipino to the death And that might be tomorrow so play this for me then

"Getaway" I use to think I'd find life At the bottom of the crates And problems go away but that's not the case I’m trying to find my place in this place and escape it Found freedom in my own way every time the bass hits Unplug from the matrix, a little vacation I’m patient, waiting they use to say I was vacant Quiet and weird And I gotta admit I was never here My mind always wandering and pondering life Beyond the lights that they blind us with Something’s gotta give But I stay positive I know sometimes the fall can feel bottomless but it’s not the end The bitter end or sweet start? It all depends Till the end my sweetheart and that’s for life I’m in So grab a Heineken or pop a pill whatever helps Just know you create yourself a temporary cell To just getaway I used to think I'd find love At the bottom of the page And that'll be the day but that’s not the case And no matter how hard I try Barely seem to get by Top it all off, we just said our goodbyes Good guys finish last Another one for the books by the looks of it It's all for the good though Something you should know There’s always reasoning, even in the end Just believe in it You said you'd never leave, that we'd forever be She looked me straight in my eyes and said "set me free" "I need a getaway, I need my own space" "I don’t want to go, but I won’t stay" What’s the difference, it’s all the same to me It’s all games to me, now it’s plain to see You've already gone So what’s the use of telling me you're moving on Just get gone Just getaway

"SUNDAY VIBES" It's a quarter past nine sun shining through the blinds Signs of a good day, remind me of the good times When everything was okay laying in the sunlight Pumping bikes homies on the pegs living that young life One time we almost got locked up For doing some dumb shit Tagging trains on a subway Just a bunch of young kids with my boy Jose Back in the days, we were just kids on a Sunday Now I’m cooler than a sundae Chopping up some Sade Cooking up some fried eggs No days off shit, you can call it Wale Pare, ano ba and nangyari Hindi na tayo bata naglalaro sa kalye Kumusta na si Ate? I heard she got a kid on the way I hope she grows to be like you one day Minus the pain that we went through All the places that we've been to This is for the dollar menu days that we ate through Stay dedicated for the place I was raised to Appreciate ever plate full of food I am thankful It’s the simple things in life I am grateful Humble beginnings that’s why I’m forever faithful I stay true to life I love you and I hate you Spread you like the wings of an angel Fly with me, we can take the skies you and I We correlate and coincide Its Sunday vibes when I’m with you Exactly how I feel Like Sunday morning jazz Running through my ears You put me at ease like the beats that I rock with Peace to my homies still back on the islands Grinding fighting every single day But no matter what they say You gotta keep on surviving You gotta keep on shining But for now just let that Sunday vibes in Live and direct for my homies that I build with Back to the wall and I’m back on the building Ride for the cause just cuz you feel different They hate on my sound cuz I’m young brown and gifted Plus I’m an immigrant ReBorn as King again Better than I’ve ever been before and it’s evident I represent for the first class of the Unheard Spit fire every breath till my lungs burn And it feels so good just to let it all out From my soul from the ground up Never coming down
