No Hook 03:32
We went through the sixties and tried to expand, 70's, acid tab in your hand, 80's came, cocaine on the dash, 90's grunge rock and gangster rap considered a fad. 2000's it was head bands, tossing them funds later that decade, I guess everyone sunk now we in this hat down hipster phase, fuck I can't wait till that shit goes away I'm kinda like a casting director in a way cause I'm trynna figure out what role I can play, culture plays a part but it doesn't lead the way, I'm just trynna find my time up in this space, and if it is to be, a catalyst story of an average prince who got beat up and has been savage since, that would match this gents, story that I do draw from, I guess music is my canvas to draw on, If we look at where we are now, We ain't even far out, times have been hard up till now, but we be going all out, we be going all out, Nope! No hook okay? lets get back to the brass tax and books okay, make a verse sound like a hook okay, and you sing if softly, so they feel okay, well okay, I almost landed on a hook again, booked a world tour and I took my friends Glad I became an entrepreneur, man, Cause when I started out I had fewer fans, I did some things that I don't wanna do again, I made some points that I don't wanna prove again, I see my next few moves and I'ma do 'em man Shout out and welcome, to my newer fans. *spoken sample If we look at where we are now, We ain't even far out, times have been hard up till now, but we be going all out, we be going all out, Nope! No hook okay? let's get back to the brass tax and books okay, make a verse sound like a hook okay, and you sing if softly, so they feel okay, well okay.

Written, recorded, mixed & additional production by Ellevan Final Mixing and Mastering by @FutureMagic Produced • MXS Beats www.mxsbeats.com ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Lyrics: [Tupac Wisdom] Hello? I just got home and I'm scared, I just ran like 5 blocks, from 4 guys in my Nike Airs, Like yo! I open up the fridge there's no food in there, Mom is passed out on the couch, booze in the air, who truly cares? Dad's bounced, he's out, he's re-married, no it's too scary, to deal with her, so I guess my life is a talk-show, it's like Springer, Jerry. ugh! just another kid from Richmond up in poverty, I wonder if mom's government check came yet, check and see, Fuck! ugh! What we fittin' to do for dinner now? Go over to a friends house, but don't say nothin' about this now, I- -would just keep that shit to myself, poverty isn't gonna fix itself, feelin' alone with no help. I just wanna say, You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like To give all you got and have nothing left, it's like; You don't know what its like To go to school hungry and shit, it's like; You don't know what its like and if you do, then I fux with you! you okay, you gonna make it, this life right here, it builds the greatest, But they don't know what its like, NAH they don't know what its like, NAH they don't know what its like, NAH So know, you got a special chance to show 'em how to live life! [tell em] This shit right here, is so real, it makes me wanna cry, but I can't! Cause I grew up with an unbalanced pride, our whole life we try to find the reason why, crazy part is, most of my friends were way worse off than I! Imagine seeing a bunch of muthafuckas on the block, that are struggling just like you, most of us men, so we too embarrassed to talk about what we going' through huh! You broke dog? well its too bad you ain't handled that! naw, I just stacked a bunch of cash, but where is the money management at? I blow shit, cause I'm ignant, and I blew this, chance I had, to not turn out, just like, mama dukes and poppa dad, FUCK! I guess this shit is hereditary, Poverty it is very scary, Poverty you should be wary, cause we robbin' now, They don't know what it's like, x 3 To give everything that you got and have nothing left, They don't know what it's like, [sing] They don't know what it's like x 2 have you ever not had? [chant] y'all don't know what it's like x 6 [spoken] So don't judge me for the way I act, cause you don't know what its like, right? [Tupac wisdom]

Said So 03:47
[Will Smith wisdom] Living life like I said so, follow them? Hell no! Keep goin' 'till you well known, Stay focused in your zone, so that means adios to those people that say no, cause in this lifetime you only get shi* when you pray for it. lately I've been getting everything that I ask for, going from a local show to needing me a passport, this my mind, this how I think, this is 'bout my realness, anybody who does this shit, I know you're gonna feel this, Like fam, I've been working double time up on my manifests, anything that I ever wanted and ain't have it yet, I was on my yeezy, getting mad, about to throw a fit, until I noticed it, and it would go like this, One day you fin to wake up, and you got a vision like a real vision, you do anything in your existence, to go and get it, like; Hi, I'm here, ya for the big gain, I see a big picture, I need a big frame, Like this way, get paid, just say, I can't, go away I'm here to stay, to slay, or till I see the grave, You cheap fucks can go away, this ain't Tuesday, My circumstance comes up from what I choose to say. [proof* chant] Got it now cause I said so, livin' life like I said so, head roll with a sense' lesson learned cause I said so, Oh ya you said so? Good to know that you said so, get it now? put it in your mind and you'll live like you say so When you die, die by your word, when you live, live by your word. x 2 Like you said so, ya I said so, Ya you told the truth, Like I said so, Now they know its you, Cause I said so, Life that you could choose, Ya I said so, I said so, I said so... And I'm right back just like that, you might have a mood change! I'ma go and do me, and I suggest you do the same, Hustle is everyday, Tuesday, through Tuesday, Can't ever re-do, but we review the moves we've made, it's all in action, ya, and it's all interaction, man, and its online traction, math that you try to capture, ya! and you feel that habit, I developed that shit, and I relish in it, and Ellevan has it! man!, I wanna be like Gary Vee, [True] millions out there hearing me, [like you] tossing mom a pair of keys, [it's blue] professing all my deepest dreams, [the truth] 'cause it has to be envisioned, before it gets in your vision, it seems to be a system that you universe uses to listen, usually you scrutinize, but that's a different division, your mood, your mind it moves the time, thats the depiction. Said it's movie like how it happens, You become your own captian, Proved what I want from my actions, now I got my satisfaction. [proof] Got it now cause I said so, Livin' life like I said so, Head roll with a sense' lesson learned cause I said so, Oh ya you said so? Good to know that you said so, get it now? put it in your mind and you'll live life like you said so When you die, die by your word, when you live, live by your word. x 2 Like you said so, ya I said so, Ya you told the truth, Like I said so, Now they know its you, Cause I said so, Life that you could choose, Ya I said so, I said so, I said so.

[spoken intro] I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go said I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go said I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go See I done played a lot of shows for free and hopefully you noticed me, that was my investment, I just wanted the respect ya see, I just went from locally loved to internationally known, and I still got a lot of road to go, but yo, I'm still 27, worried about rent, and I gotta get my mom a place and my wife outta debt, these are just a few of the things that I keep on my head, we don't smoke cause we lazy, man, we smoke cause we stressed, and that don't mean that I am not out here having my fun, I just know I'm side by side, like my numbers, one and one, And if you out running game, let that game go and run, but if you run away from you, think what you running from, would they, run towards it? imported cause you afford it, but are you a man if your fam, is not sorted? I cut that shit off a bunch like I 4 sword it, just make sure to take em out the house before you foreclose it. I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go said I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go... I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go said I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go... and when I hop up on twitter my fans make me feel like a million, even though in every social situation I'm the villain, I'ma keep it civil, just so I don't end up killing, I'm a servant to civilians, I'ma go ahead and tell em now! I'll figure it out, how to keep this ball and the gown, all this life I live out loud, is a risk you may not know, or may not want, You see what I got, I got the ball rollin' man and I will not stop, but if you don't come, from the place in the hunt, where I come from the grunge, ya I come from the dumps, so I don't fuck, any female fans, naw I meet em at lunch, make sure they follow my stuff, so they know what's up, I be the first to front, and the last to leave, This last song is what it has to be, now its peace! I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go said I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go said I thought that I was half way there, I got along way to go Go, Go, Go, Go, Long way to go uh x2
