Nomadic Extra Large

VERSE 1
Today’s the day that I forget about the past
I been complaining way too much lately with my stankin ass
Knowing I probably got it better than most do
I’m blessed, that’s for sure, like hibiscus tea at Whole Foods
Can’t ever say I went hungry or broke like most do
In the city where I’m from, without money ya ass tofu
Burnt crispy to the highest degree
Money is protein to the ghetto, watch how you spend it wisely
Before you sweat your pockets out and they turn slim
You don’t want that extra stress weighing heavy within
So get your weight up, pump the brakes, slow down
Do a change up, switch lanes, turn your life around
CHORUS
Slow down, breathe now, don’t let it break you
Weight on your shoulders but it’s shaping you
Let go, head up, stay true
Life keep testing but it made you

VERSE 2
Stop masquerading for a fake crowd that won’t hold you up
If you stage dive in front the world, will they catch you or just fold it up?
Put your problems on the public table, chocolate swirl
Would they really give a fxxx or just criticize your world?
Judging from the angle of a blind eye
Claim they can see but never where your spirit lies
In the hands of the Lord’s angels, no improvise
This ain’t an acted script, this movie’s real life
Winning moments often out of mind, out of sight
But it’s alright, your day coming after long nights
Hundred miles running, all the work you put in
Dreams coming fast, super speed, hitting you in the chin
So when it does, are you ready for the road ahead?
It’s a long stretch, success got a long barrel aimed
Reality ain’t fantasy, no plus signs only
Without the trials of life, you couldn’t ever know victory
Pressure bust pipes, make tempers lash
So break down them walls, don’t let emotions crash
Breathe in, breathe out, let it all spill
Let the flow just flow slow, till the very next episode
CHORUS
Slow down, breathe now, don’t let it break you
Weight on your shoulders but it’s shaping you
Let go, head up, stay true
Life keep testing but it made you

Verse 1
This lyrical ingredient, it cant be modified,
to fortified to for you'll to try to check my DNA,
OKAY, lets play a game, called, call out you suckers,
sweet as candy, destroy you niggas like a cup of brandy,
I just sip life, play it cool, like a game of dice,
never made it off good luck, I had to pay the price,
blood sweat and tears, drippin from the heart of my sleeve,
I don't cry much but joyful as I make listeners bleed,
with pure joy, as I tell my story of glory,
the complications of a mad man, running through a wasteland,
known for breaking men down, to the point of no return,
but I return with a raw sound,
unintentional its just me to deliver like that,
punch your whole soul with nothing but facts,
And ever rhyme that I spew, I'll never retract.
It's all real, with me and every one in my circle will burst you,
like starburst, I bursted from the stars, call me mr galactic,
universal flavor that got you jumping on your mattress,
like a happy kid with not a worry in life,
just stomping on the pavement with my head up High,
Hands up like i'm waving but I'm praising the sky,
Allah gave me a chance to redeem my pride,
I dun been through it all, got high and almost died.
I should write a book about life.

Chorus
Media blues in my veins, still I rise through the pain,
Truth in my voice, can’t silence the flame.
Paid my dues, no luck in this game,
I earned every breath, every scar, every name.

Verse 1
Woke up this morning to some bad news.
Nothing specific.
Because everyday media singing the same blues.
The same song.
Somebody got shot.
Politicians lying.
Police Brutality on my block.
Murder rate is off key on a higher pitch.
Gun shots so loud.
After they ring. I can’t hear shit.
You said what talk louder.
I’m def dumb and blind to ignorance.
AT&T disconnect you.
Our lines of communication just don’t match.
This life is like a date.
Hopefully we make a match.
Maybe not.
But one things for sure.
I hope we have in common that we both hate war.
Sad to say some people thirst for confrontation.
Drinking ego shakes every minute on the hour.
Shitting out your views on us like a shit shower.
My only umbrella is some boos and good music.
Some good cheba.
Now look I’m addicted.
Escapism is a hell of a drug.
Aint it inflicted.
Upon us like when kids expect gifts every christmas.

Chorus
Same news, same lies on repeat,
Same pain playing loud in the streets.
We numb the noise just to get some sleep,
Praying for peace but we wake to heat.
Same war, new face every season,
Same truth buried under reasons.
If we got one thing we can agree,
This world need love more than it need me.

Verse 2
They gift wrap us propaganda like a Christmas gift.
Like I really asked Santa Claus for this shit.
Scratch it off my wish list.
Turn up my emotions like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeers nose does every Christmas.
When the truth is exposed.
So you lying mofos need to change clothes.
Your bad intentions are but naked like girls gone wild videos.
Ooh no.
And big business is one big hoe.
Did you hear me.
Big business is one big hole.
With to many loops in it.
My bank account is mad dizzy.
My money running in circles.
All my funds are exhausted.
I need a breath of fresh air.
Can I get that for free.
I hope so.
Hell yea we living in hell.
And satan is the ego and the CEO of the terror dome.
That we call home.
Home sweet home.

[Chorus]
Light years ahead of y’all—man, I’m years from here,
You just a little tiny spec in the rearview mirror.
We don’t even operate in the same stratosphere,
So leave it alone—don’t step in a zone built from pain and fear.
Came from a place where it’s hard as hell to make it out,
So if you rise, celebrate, scream your name out loud.
Move smart, find a better route than pushin’ weight—
Full speed ahead, ‘cause hesitation only seals your fate.

[Verse 1]
The zone that I dwell in is a lonely place,
Only reserved for the few that survived the stakes.
Played my cards right even with a bad hand dealt,
Still shuffled up the deck, turned losses into wealth.
I’m king now—straight decking these queens down,
Number one ace, no hardware—
I’m lyin’, got nine in my pocket, so stop it.
Don’t overstep boundaries you don’t understand,
The wrong move’ll wire your jaw, never talk again.
I’m from a side of town where dreams get crushed,
Where one hour of chaos could erupt too much.
End up stuck in the system—government’s workshop,
Where bodies turn to numbers when the cell doors lock.

[Chorus]
Light years ahead of y’all—man, I’m years from here,
You just a little tiny spec in the rearview mirror.
We don’t even operate in the same stratosphere,
So leave it alone—don’t step in a zone built from pain and fear.
Came from a place where it’s hard as hell to make it out,
So if you rise, celebrate, scream your name out loud.
Move smart, find a better route than pushin’ weight—
Full speed ahead, ‘cause hesitation only seals your fate.

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen wolves howl the moment you show fear,
So I hide every inch, every thought, every tear.
Blood, sweat, and pain built the armor I’m in—
I’m drowning in fear, but I’ll never let ’em win.
Vampires outside tryna drain souls too,
Snatch pride, take jewels—do what vultures do.
So move now, no delays, don’t you get caught,
Before you end up on the news as a cautionary thought.
I spit this from the bottom of my gut, no cuts,
This world is crazy—no pauses, no buts.
If you’re living on a path built only from dread,
You better turn it around or it’s off with your head.

Verse 1
This life is like going against a brick wall,
Every time I do, it’s like I take a downfall.
This life is like a downpour of stress and heartaches,
And my only umbrella is a beat break.
And my rhymes are the cure to stop the rain,
My punchlines are like hurricanes to ease the pain.
Beating on this melody until it’s in its proper place,
Boxing with my ego until I’m in a proper place.
Hey yo, that's at the top — the top is where I should be.
My home is misery — how I got caught up in this predicamy.
Yo, life is rough — rougher than the definition of it.
What defines me is hard times and how I paint pictures of it.
Like HD and 3D — you get the picture.
No need to change the channel ’cause my aim is
To be famous one day, like a famous actor — a superstar.
Who’d have thought that I’d make it this far?

Chorus
It’s so rough, it’s so rough
To go and try to make it to the top,
Too far for the eyes to see.
I had enough, I had enough
Of trying to go and make it to the top —
I wonder if I’ll ever be a superstar, superstar.
Maybe so, maybe not —
Well, that’s just the chance I take
To try to get, to try to get, to try to get,
To try to get to the top.
I wonder if I’ll ever be
A superstar.

Verse 2
Being at the top ain't what I thought it was.
Even though I got the money, got the cash, got the cars —
And even though I got a home, got a pool,
I still feel unsatisfied on this material ride.
I feel like I need to put the brakes down and hold it there,
Because I’m moving too fast through this atmosphere.
This material world is like my universe now —
Whatever happened to the values I learned as a child?
Straight out the window as the wind blows.
I think back when I was just a young kid eating Apple Jacks,
Looking at cartoons — life was so simple then.
Yo, who’d have knew I’d be living life full of sin?
But like I said before — being at the top ain’t what it’s cracked up to be.
So listen to a dope MC as I run you through reality.
You wouldn’t wanna be in my shoes —
Don’t ever chase this dream.

Chorus
It’s so rough, it’s so rough
To go and try to make it to the top,
Too far for the eyes to see.
I had enough, I had enough
Of trying to go and make it to the top —
I wonder if I’ll ever be a superstar, superstar.
Maybe so, maybe not —
Well, that’s just the chance I take
To try to get, to try to get, to try to get,
To try to get to the top.
I wonder if I’ll ever be
A superstar.

Verse 1
As the world turns, money burns — you can feel the fire,
The burning sensation of world domination.
I’m facing time for the rhymes I make,
’Cause half of y’all wouldn’t even try to take
One step up the ladder to try to teach the truth.
So I’m teaching the truth to the young youth.
Hopefully they get it when I spit it —
If they don’t, I guess it wasn’t meant for them to listen to it.
If I say I lived it, I really did go through it.
You can feel the pain when I spit it through the conduit.
Stress for me is like a cup of tea,
’Cause some of the things I’ve seen you wouldn’t believe.
But I still move on and stay on track —
See, I refuse to go back to the days of way back.
Having memories of my friends when they used to sell crack,
I used to watch them cook it up and sell it like that,
Like an everyday meal — see, we caught up in the struggle,
With dudes trying to bubble selling crack.
I couldn’t do it — I got tired of seeing little kids
Walking with no shoes, barefooted,
With moms sucking dick right around the corner,
About three hits away from meeting the fxxxing coroner.
Yo, that’s the life of the everyday man in the ghetto —
So listen to the melody.

Chorus
As the world turns, money burns, life — it gets hectic.
You better be prepared, you better be scared,
And walk a thin line, ’cause there’s a thin line
Between love and hate — and people love to hate
Whatever you do, no matter if you’re doing good.
Hey yo, they wanna see you fall — so fxxx ’em all.
Just keep moving on, ’cause the world is yours,
It’s in the palm of your hands.

Verse 2
The world is in the palm of your hands — shit is critical.
And behind the turmoil and the stress,
Miracles exist in many different forms and fashions.
Instead of being angry, just think and imagine —
What if you ain’t have a house to live in?
What if you ain’t have food to eat?
What if you were moving to a different beat?
See, the rhythm of the streets is a fast tempo,
Rockin’ with the same old two-step.
Dudes be looking like, “If you get in their way, that’s that.”
Blow the horns — ’cause when it’s on, it’s on.
And when it’s on, it’s really on,
Just like a light switch.
These are electric rhymes and sketches,
I paint a perfect picture of life through my eyes,
The way I see it — so check how I analyze.
Don’t even think about trying to devise my plan —
I’m a newborn man.

Chorus
As the world turns, money burns, life — it gets hectic.
You better be prepared, you better be scared,
And walk a thin line, ’cause there’s a thin line
Between love and hate — and people love to hate
Whatever you do, no matter if you’re doing good.
Hey yo, they wanna see you fall — so fxxx ’em all.
Just keep moving on, ’cause the world is yours,
It’s in the palm of your hands.

Verse 1:
Once I attack, ain’t an army that could strike back,
Lit a match on the track that’s twice the contact.
From the smoke I blow from my insides,
Gaseous rhymes that cause landslides.

Cats they try, but never win by a landslide,
Slid on land with my feet down, firmly placed on the ground.
Stomping through with that dexterous sound,
Vocals travel like pelicans fly away.

Inside of the music, that’s where I stay,
Cooking in the stu, ingredients for today.
Spicy food you need in ya life,
For your thoughts I got more than a few pennies.

Rhyme and skill more than a few plenty,
To feed the needy, even the greedy get that overkill.
When too many thoughts spill like oil spills,
My skill’s toxicity level? That ill—ewww.

I’m that sick, mix of crucifix and pandemic together,
DEADLY COMBO, ain’t it?
No burger king, I don’t cook fast food,
I create home-cooked meals for those starving for realness.

Chorus 1:
Deadly combo, cookin’ up the heat,
Realness served fresh, no defeat.
Skills so lethal, watch the smoke rise,
I’m the storm in your city, open your eyes.

Verse 1:
Let this beat talk to my soul for a minute,
Give me a minute or two to express my feelings to you.
Maybe more time is needed for me to get my point across,
To those who can relate to the topics I spit about.
My mouth is a deadly force to be reckoned with,
The wreckage I leave behind is so eloquent.
Nothing elegant about the drama in this world,
Painting bloody pictures of violence on a beautiful musical bed where I lay my head.
You never hear silence,
Even on quiet days, I can’t stand the silence.
Desensitized, conditioned for the wild and the turmoil,
I accept life as it is—I can see the diamond in the mud.
You see, these younger kids are shining stars,
A few rough edges, but still sparkling like diamonds.
I call my friend’s son because they stay shining,
Even through the darkness, their light keeps rising.
Chorus:
Home sweet home, where the heart still beats,
Through the pain and chaos, we rise from the streets.
Shining through the struggle, diamonds in the mud,
Home sweet home, where we turn pain to love.

Verse 2:
I’m never shying away from the real issues,
Even the darkest days can bring you to the light.
If you let life’s lessons guide you in the right direction,
Even when the devil closes in from every side.
It’s you who sees what’s real from the fake,
Fake from the real—sometimes hard to tell apart.
But I can sense the cow manure better than a dog hears sirens,
From miles away, I know what’s coming next.
Here we go, another shot, another life lost,
On any given day, the drama erupts like rockets.
My eyes stay wide open, my mind on peace,
Will we ever see it? How long to put the pieces together?
The puzzle’s hard to solve, 360 degrees regardless,
I try to evolve into a godly man,
Execute a godly plan,
But life got me stuck, just like quicksand.
Chorus:
Home sweet home, where the heart still beats,
Through the pain and chaos, we rise from the streets.
Shining through the struggle, diamonds in the mud,
Home sweet home, where we turn pain to love.
