[Hook: KayR & (Erin)] Everything is so clear (This is not what it seems) I can see it from here (You've been blinded by dreams) It's to good to be true (These pieces aren't a collage) Don't know what I can do (This is just a mirage) [Verse 1: KayR] So many lights in my vision, now my writing is fishing Dropping lines in a wishing well and I'm fighting the friction Of this Bic upon this diction. Call me science fiction Out of this world and out of your jurisdiction No judging. Court is adjourned Cause I can hear the sounds of crowds and my mind is spurred I make it burn, make it burn. Yeah, it's my turn Like I flipped the script from Scarface, no stone's unturned I believe I can make it. How can I doubt it? This new feeling in my bones and beat my heart's pounding Is the only thing I rhyme to. Now I can hear I know what I'm seeing and, well, everything is so clear [Hook] [Verse 2: KayR] I flipped when I couldn't clear that Popular sample Thought it was the only way to get a plaque on the mantle Thought that I couldn't handle failure, protected myself Said, "If the album got shelved, I'd blame the cards I got dealt Not the way that I played them." And to all of the voyeurs I'd blame the flop on Stephen Schwartz's lawyers Thinking if I got this clearance that I'd have popped this year and At the same time, man, my Pops was fearing If I drop this year and take off from here then His prediction for the future just would not appear, man Sorry Pops, but I'm a still be what I have to be I can see the bright lights now, don't need gravity, ugh [Hook] [Bridge: KayR and (Erin)] I'm never going back (Come back) I'm never going back (Come back) I'm never going back (Come back) I'm never going back (Come back x 5) [Outro: Erin] This is not what it seems You've been blinded by dreams These pieces aren't a collage This is just a mirage

[Hook: David James and (KayR)] You know what I'm about, open up your eyes Because I'm a play it loud, look up to the skies Because you gone want to doubt me (But I'm a make it happen) Want to doubt me (You run it and I'm lapping) Want to doubt me (But I'm a get you clapping. When I'm rapping I be snapping on these beats. Y'all be napping) [Verse 1: KayR] Ain't nobody in this game will be as sick as me Somebody get me to the E.R I recharged my batteries to batter these peons Be gone. Feeling so right it can't be wrong Buzz Lightyear flow: Infinity and Beyond There he go again Beat got you hopped up on endorphins And I'm making more sense All that's left is dollars so, you should give me more then Organ donor rap. I put my heart inside the back-beat Me and hip-hop won't stop winning just like a tag-team Your thoughts are switched up: drag queen I make sure the haters stay falling: bad dream You doubted me, you doubted me. Good job fool you doubted me But ain't nobody hearing you. I got the mic, I'm shouting g Y'all trying but y'all fronting. I'm tired of flaws and tragedies Defying you is nothing. I defy the laws of gravity [Hook] [Verse 2: KayR] Who told these wack rappers they could step to me? They're going to end up in the E.R They're calling me four-eyes but soon they'll call me C4 I blow it up and they all drop I'm in my own element the stove is real hot Seal locks shut so they stay out Because I ain't down with the hate. It's played out Getting daps for being masterful. My tracks blow off your hair Their raps are all collapsible but mine go anywhere In her ear. In her inner ear Dropping lines that'll make that goose-skin appear But I ain't talking to her. Oh my god I got your girl in love and I am only in her iPod Any basic playlist with Kay is ace, it's okay for you to face it Because you know that you're basic Center stage is my position. Killing any g Don't care if you're doubting because you all ain't even in my league [Hook] [Outro: David James] You don't believe me. Think I'm a quitter Got what it takes, I am on the next level I'm going to rise above it I'm going to stop at nothing I'm going to stop at nothing I'm going to stop at nothing

Honesty 04:43
[Intro Hook] I know I ain't like you, but I'm just being honest Hand me that mic dude and I'll kill it, I promise I'm storming right through, man, I'm feeling to bomb this The best in the game too, you know I'm being honest [Verse 1] Flowing like I'm classic, connected like I'm bandwidth Smoking on that nothing, because I think that I'm asthmatic I ain't feeling to mask it. High school? I passed it Yes, I lose my temper when I'm stuck in traffic Got lots of questions, trying to solve some problems I claim agnostic, but I still ask God the odd one Honestly, I'm kind of scared of goons and goblins Because I don't want trouble. I want to hang like Opossums I haven't had a very hard life And I could never hit a ball the way that Barry Bonds might In fact, I'm really bad at sports. But I could still bury on site Cause I've got a black belt and a very strong right [Hook] I know I ain't like you, but I'm just being honest Hand me that mic dude and I'll kill it, I promise I'm storming right through, man, I'm feeling to bomb this The best in the game too, you know I'm being honest Honest, I'm just being honest Honest, I'm just being honest Honest, I'm just being honest I'm just being, I'm just being, I'm just being honest [Verse 2] For all the homies on the wrist-watch There's about one grand on my wrist, watch Want to the know the truth about my wrist watch? My momma bought me this watch I support gay marriage Sometimes my music makes me feel embarrassed But then I just go grin and bear it Cause I love the feeling that I get when I share it Plus I know that I'm one hell of a writer One hell of a rapper. One hell of a fighter When it comes to breaking out of molds and placements I'm the one to make them change their expectations [Hook] [Bridge] I'm just telling y'all how I really feel. Y'all don't have to like my ish Y'all been wanting someone who's really real so y'all might just like my ish I'm just laying my cards out from the deal. Y'all don't have to like my ish My main goal is not that mass appeal but y'all might just like my ish [Hook] [Outro Bridge]

[Hook: Erin and (KayR)] Every night I lay awake with these voices in my head I give and give, they always take they're pulling at the thread But I just keep thinking (I'm finished, I'm done) And my ears keep ringing (I've gotta go, gotta run) I cannot hear my thoughts with all these voices in my head [Verse 1: KayR] They want my mind body and soul I can't hardly control, I've been part of this show For so long. I don't want to let go But these voices keep banging at the door This cacophony is blasting me, it has to be A tragedy wrapped in a masterpiece I'm not sure but I'd rather be Anyone else. I'm sad to see This face in the mirror. I'm losing my spirit I can't stop the hate. It's only getting clearer And I hear it (hear it, hear it). I'm running out of hope It's Thomas Horn: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close And I'm a ghost. All I want to do is be But these voices got a different plan for me [Hook] [Verse 2: KayR] The only walls they can't get through are these soundproofed ones So I stay in the booth. Dude's screws going loose and the ground moves from Below me, below me, I'm losing all of my homies My music sounding so phoney. Suddenly I'm so lonely (Help!) Get me right up out of this mess I'm tired of all of this stress. Got no feeling now in my chest And that's frightening. I'm writing to save myself from this tightening Grip on my mind. My face is just whitening And I hear it (hear it, hear it). Every noise is a cut Daniel Day-Lewis: I'm betting There Will Be Blood It's a flood. I'm trying to build up a dam now But I can't now cause these damn sounds of these voices are so damn loud [Hook] [Verse 3: KayR] So I've got to face the faces and silence the voices Go at them with five nines and I don't mean Royces Kill the haters with the mic. Block out their faces with the light Destroy 'em all, destroy 'em all so I'm left, but they ain't right Walk outside. Suddenly my mind is so free Why do I care what these haters think of me? I can prove 'em wrong with my raps, I can prove 'em wrong but I won't I make music for myself. You can yell "Stop!" but I don't And I hear it (hear it, hear it). The crowds clapping at night Now I'm Denzel Washington. Boy, I'm taking Flight And I write. Pencil to the pad and I'm golden But keep the hook on the line like a modem. Yeah, I told 'em [Hook] [Outro: KayR] Uh-huh. The only way to silence the voices is to ignore the voices And to ignore the voices, you've just got to be you Always take criticism. Never take bull That's the truth Haha. Open your mind Drama Gang on it. Haha Alright. Yo Deuces

[Hook: Kieran Moolchan] That world you've got on your shoulders It's weighing you down, it's wrapping around You've got to let it go All your control's an illusion It ends in confusion, you need to relax And then just let it all go Just let it all go You need to let it go Let it all go [Verse 1: KayR] One glance in the mirror, I see a little clearer A person that I used to know, used to know Used to go crazy at times. Having people thinking that I'm losing my mind At parties I was a blast. Now I'm always staying on task Got a mask, but it's wearing thin. It's becoming part of my skin I can feel it, feel it, deep in my spirit, a longing to get away From this desk and this screen, it's messing with me. I feel like it's safe to say I've gotta relax, let loose. Do I dare? It's the truth Relax, let loose. I try but it's no use, and [Hook] [Verse 2: KayR] Then something starts to pound It's the sound of a speaker speaking out It's speaking loud, right to my chest, wait The drums kick right, through my breastplate And restart my heart. Bloods pumping now And I really sort of feel like jumping 'round Won't touch the ground. I'm going to touch the sky Let loose, feel free, no time to hide. I'll just glide Across the ceiling, nobody matching how I'm feeling Leave them reeling. Point me to the stage I'm a dog off the leash, a beast with no cage Engage. Full throttle. I used to feel so hollow Now I feel like I could swallow the Whole world. Clap your hands and follow me It's like [Bridge: (Kieran Moolchan) & KayR] (Ooh. Just glide. Ooh) It's like Well, it's like I'm sure you've all felt this way before but it's like there's been times in my life where I've had so much on my plate that I've just felt drained I had no emotions left Just tasks to complete and things to do And then I found my outlet My outlet is music. My outlet is theatre, and acting and directing My outlet is creativity And if I can find that, you can too Let's go [Hook x 2]

Terrific 03:31
[Verse 1: KayR] KayR, uh Oh, we going old school on 'em Alright, yo, yo I'm just rolling with my homies all packed in my black civic In fact, I'm on track with it. You wacks getting smacked with it. Woo! Physical pacifist. Lyrical activist To get the beat off and the beat is a masochist Castle this. I am the king and I told ya I know you didn't think that this kid could move boulders But I'm rocking the mic, and I'm dropping it like My name was Buster Douglas and I'm in a fight With Mr. Tyson. I liken myself to a god I might spin your facade and begin a new plot To have you smashed and damaged, trashed and bandaged And leave you unknown like a label you could manage Can it. I roll with writers and jokers Like I smoke tree with Ledger and Nicolas Cage posters Improving and bobbing and weaving. Dodging your plots for defeat and Showing everybody what the walk that I talk is meaning. Ugh [Hook] I'm terrific Yes-yes I get it You ball? Well, I hit it, hit it When I spit it, y'all wanna quit it I'm teriffic Ter-ter-terrific I'm-I'm terrific Yes-yes I get it You ball? Well, I hit it, hit it When I spit it, y'all wanna quit it I'm teriffic Ter-ter-terrific [Verse 2] I'm killing beats by any means necessary And I'm mean. Yes, I'm scary. Ketamine and stress and sherry It's getting wasted and worn out Is that opportunity up at my door now? Thor now. But I used to be low-key Nobody knew that this half-white hokey would ghost beats Give me a track and I'll bomb that Breaking up stages, uppercuts from Mortal Kombat (Toasty!) Coming off of a spaceship All these other rappers are awesomely basic Face it. I got potential, won't waste it And I don't see a challenge like I just got maced, kid Went to a catholic school and I was not cool I never broke no rules and never smoked no jewels But now I got people saying, "Hey! Ain't that something?" Cause while y'all was fronting, Kay was stunting [Hook] [Verse 3] I'm terrific and supreme, superlative and I'm preme First class, first rate and first pick on the team You can't match this matchless man on a beam You outweighed. A quarter month, man. You weak You a feast to a beast, I'm a man to a moron I'm out of sight like I'm banned from a forum I demand that you pour on the flattery, mang Cause in a matter of time I might splatter these brains With stylistic punchlines and phonetic fists Burning through pencils with my poetic wrist So go get a kiss and a hug from your loved ones I shove one more beat into the oven So I guess this spit is cooking music I guess I'll quit with cooking stupids 'Cause I like the word play right? Arthur Miller Everything I spit is just killer [Hook]

[Intro: KayR] (Everything we do is just solid) Yo, KayR (Everything we do is just solid) Funk Volume Hey SwizZz (Everything we do is just solid) You think we got this? (Everything we do is just solid) Yeah, me too Ugh. Yo [Verse 1: KayR] Yup I'm going harder Than a martyr. I've been darting since the start of the border And I'm heading straight for your eardrums Here comes fear. Dumb kids get speared. Run And place the beat in a casket Yup it's going down like a baby in a basket Drastic measures must be taken No Liam Neeson. I'm squeezing a beat up until it's breaking Quaking. What the heck you think was gonna happen? I'm a psycho watching poetry with rubber bands. Snapping Slapping those who rapping. Getting on their tracks and lapping If they napping then I get to smacking, cracking, stabbing, wacking Packing preposterous. Popping off of the top with this Polished plop that'll never stop and get dropped or impoverished No collar, kids. I'm off the leash so you can call it quits Cause I'm finished with your college kid politics. Unh [Hook] Everything we do is just solid Better acknowledge or go back to college (college) Cause we keep it so polished Got ya gassed up, you can check your mileage (ha ha ha) Everything we do is just solid Better acknowledge or go back to college (college) Cause we keep it so polished Got ya gassed up, homie you can check your mileage [Verse 2: KayR] Solid as cement trucks. You think that you can dent us? We got the patent on this game like we is the inventors You can't stand us. Stand down to stand-up guys We lean like kickstands on slammed up bikes Jammed up tight deep inside of your mindset We so crisp like the vibe and the hi-hat Divide and decide that the knife is inside that Heart of the beat. At the end is where it's life's at "God darn it, Kay. Why'd you go and harm it? It's looking like Pearl Harbor now and there is no Josh Hartnett You can't stop it once you start it!" Got 'em banging on the ceilings like bad neighbors in apartments LARPing. These kids, are all about that role play No bakery games, I'm baking lames up with a cold spray Like a fire hose. I fire those old fakes Solid cause I'm going hard. Do not try to hold Kay [Hook] [Verse 3: SwizZz] Well look. Somebody gassed you up saying, "you hot!" You think you are but you're not, nobody wants you to drop That bullshit album you got, you know it will flop Like long titties with no bra. You ain't earning a spot Up in this rap game. (Hey!) Back back mang. (Why?) Cause I'm tossing grenades out the driver side when I pass lanes (Woo!) I act strange. Smack lames. Attack, maimed Every school teacher that tried to give me a bad grade (Eh!) FV is the name of the label. I'm fulling willing and able To give it to you from all different angles Before you know what hit you you'll have a hole in you the size of a bagel Getting strangled and slammed through a glass table Hahaha. That's a laugh for your bitch ass You don't get cash, you get bullied. You lick ass And get harassed by niggas like me and KayR We solid like Snake. Got the game open, ajar Chea [Hook] [Verse 4: KayR] I'm like Colossus in the process of transformation Process the information, I'm a monster that's raging Paging the doctor I've got rigamortis I'm alive and well but I'm making rappers porous I'll have a staring contest with Medusa Find Mr. Freeze's wife and try and abuse her I'm magma, lava thrown in the cooler Put me in the cryogenic freezer for a few. Uh Thinking with your brain? Well I'm training you to I'm going hard in the game like clay from Cranium do I'm draining you dudes with unattainable moves Start an all out war and start invading your booths I'm a statue. I lasso yahoos with a gat who Thought that made them hard. I surpass. I don't match you Crash you. We solid. You could check the concept KayR and Swizzle with the hip-hop bomb threat Unh [Hook]

On Fire 04:52
[Verse 1] Causing more harm and drama than a bomb in a busy sauna Sipping an Arnold Palmer in the corner with your mama See I'm over all like a normal farmer's armor Flow sharper than arms in the palms of Jeffery Dahmer I'm lava. Holy fuck, like masses on a mattress Spitting tracks that get met with claps and massive gasps it's Passive? The dashboard smashed and gas is in the gashes Car crash flow, I'm a blow. Where the matches? (Where the matches?) (W-w-where the matches?) (Where the matches?) (I'm a blow. Where the matches?) [Hook] And they say I'm on fire with it Yeah, I smoke. But I don't get higher with it Spit fire 'til it looks like a pyre with it Flames. Flames. I'm on fire with it Yeah, ugh, I be burning up Scorching and torching 'em homie, you should turn it up I ain't a pro yet, but I ain't a beginner That's why the rap game's getting left in cinders [Verse 2] Scorching and torching up your porch to your front door Poaching for some music. You only know four chords I'm forcing these wars to stop with their toy swords No ignoring. I be boring some holes through floor boards Yo, give me that recognition Cause I be burning gas these other wacks got wrecked ignitions You can check the frames like you wrecked your vision I be burning bright. Blinding like your retina's missing Sizzling, searing 'em with that molten lava Hoping java'll devour their need to be cowards Wake up! Don't be scared of my music The only reason to be fearing is if you abuse it Yes I use it to trailblaze my city You failed lames ain't witty You getting shamed with pitty You repping lames that's silly I'm telling them I'm gritty My tracks are so hot they burn themselves to a CD [Hook] [Verse 3] Spit entire balls of fire at these phony liars Ripping wires from their webs now they're just lonely spiders Only writers that match me are homies. I'd've Thought y'all had been scorched trying to clone the lighters Char you to cinders, blast you to ashes Taking heat from the sun like the back of a cactus Got her back on the mattress, I'm packing the madness I'm slamming the game with heavy hits like smacking the fat kids Leave it in cinders, I bend the beginning sinners Befriend all the trendy winners and pretend they are my dinner Munch on 'em, with a sick beat Crunch on 'em, extra crispy And they're six feet. No, that's wrong I had them cremated with my blowtorch tongue Forth course? Done. Man I promise you I'll eat any hater I can barbeque I be carving through a crowd with carbon fuel around My body you can say I'm Johnny Storming through So here I come. Man, somebody call the circus I'm a fire spitter, and that's just perfect Now my work is burning up the dirt it's 'Bout to set it off. I hope you know it's going to hurt kids So say your prayers, and learn to take the pain brah Cause I'm 'bout to burn the whole rap game up (Burn the whole rap game up) (B-b-burn the whole rap game up) (Burn the whole rap game up) (Cause I'm 'bout to burn the whole rap game up)

You wanna get down then you've got to pay a fee You know I'm bout my ends (work) My ends (work), My ends (work) My ends (work), My ends (work) My ends (work), My ends (work) And I don't see no end (work) No end (work), No end (work) No end (work), No end (work) No end (work), No end (work) You know I'm 'bout it [Verse 1: KayR] My ends and my means, boy. Drama Gang is my team, boy I'm working to realize my dr-dr-dr-dr-dreams, boy Money ain't the motive, I just got the passion To rap and get to smashing other rappers in my path and I've got 'em real shook. Tre Nyce on the hook Northern lights in the sights, it's amazing take a look I want that skyline in my vision, so just give this a listen You missing and I'm whizzing past you with expert precision Vocation is to waste 'em on a beat cause I'm amazing Check the space and time and place. Tell me that I won't just blaze 'em Like a trail, boy. You looking pale, boy I give 'em bars, bars, bars, like a jail, boy. Hahaha [Hook] [Verse 2: KayR] Like I'm teaching 'bout vegetables, man, I'm schooling 'em on beats I'm a nympho to my notebook cause I'm always in the sheets But I leave the bed alone. No sleep for a youngin' Other rappers always aiming for the bucks like they huntin' But not me, man. I'm just clean, man Presidential on the screen. Call it C-SPAN This ain't a g-thang. It's just a me thang I ain't strapping guns but, listen homie, we bang On these beats with no protection wrecking up the intersection If lames in my lanes then dang I'm a have to make a connection With their vehicles then I'm rolling, cause I already told 'em I hope these other rappers have a thing for off-roading. Ha [Hook] [Verse 3: KayR] I'm 'bout the work and I'm bound to work to get every other rapper down in the dirt And I found the skirt and the blouse and shirt of your boyfriend, girl, that's bound to hurt And I'm sorry. I'll expose 'em like I gotta Rolling with my drama. They frozen with some trauma But I don't care, man. I'm just blaring on these speakers like bear and Prepared and have no fear and I want everybody staring As I drop it, like a subject I don't like You Mike and Ike up on the mic, so sweet but I won't bite You creeping on your bike? You just a little tyke Listen to the hook, you could say that's nice I said, you creeping on your bike? You just a little tyke, man Listen to the hook and you could say that's nice. Ugh [Hook]

Catatonic 03:07
[Intro] Lift it up like a jack, son. I've been Michael You working on going nowhere like a spin-cycle You get the big picture, man. I'm fish-eye cool I could kill twelve rappers with every diss I pull (Jesus!) I'm standing at the top, you can't topple me Keep on rolling, like I'm hitting doubles in Monopoly But you be seeing bars, man. Your flock'll flee Rhyme and reason? I got a lot with me [Hook] Call-call-call me Mr. Catatonic. I'm a bomb it and it's done Up-up in college with that knowledge and I drop it from my tongue Oh-oh man. I won't ever stop it I leave the beat catatonic At the drop of the hat, I be stomping the rats I get it poppin' and that's a fact you ought to relax Cause there ain't nothing you can do now, I'm on it I leave the beat catatonic [Verse 1] Spit it quick and I got the whole city rocking Then I'll split and leave your whole city talking Broke your girls heart from the way I got it popping and locking Now get to walking cause the drums just be knocking I'm what y'all been searching for, interstellar fella with a future flow Hate is not unusual but I stop your goals like Patrick Roy Racquetball, I'm going off the wall. Kick it like I'm playing with a soccer ball Rocket flow, I'm going to knock you all to the wall when I ball. Man, I'm shocking y'all That's good, cause I'm in it. Get-get out of my business I'm Popeye on spinach. You flop like you finish [Bridge] Let the trunk rattle. Like cattle, you heard it Got my head swelling up like I was allergic Flow's getting dirty. Better grab the detergent It's urgent. My words dent the beat, call the surgeon Go in and cut. Take the beat's body and open it up Was it broken or struck in the throat with a buck From a Canadian alien who was blowing it up Bulimic with the deuces, haters throwing 'em up It goes [Hook] [Outro] Call-call-call me Mr. Catatonic. I'm a bomb it and it's done Up-up in college with that knowledge and I drop it from my tongue Oh-oh man. I won't ever stop it I leave the beat catatonic
11.
Get A Grip 04:55
[Hook] I don't want to let you go, but I never had a hold in the first place Said I don't want to let you go, and now you've got my world in the worst way Now I'm gonna trip, gonna slip, gonna flip Dip out in the whip. Ride round, down the strip Now sound from my lips, but I wanna settle this I just wanna get a grip on you [Verse 1] How the heck did we get here? Didn't expect to be left here My pleas fall on deaf ears. Reality signs no checks here Can't steer this car no more. Caught all up in this carnival Of emotions. More ghost than human. Being with you is all I know All I go is crazy when you're not around Nothing else can phase me, I'm not touching ground You pump the blood in my veins and you don't even know it Always doing shows but I never really showed it So I'm right here, calling on you. Please pick up, I've fallen on you I'm tired of stalling on you. I don't mean to get appalling on you But you are the greatest thing in my life. If you leave I won't be alright Can this be? Can you feel my plight? Can you believe? Can you see the light Bright? I just need you here Tonight. Need to see you clear Without you, I'm lost and it shows So I let go and all my thoughts get exposed, like [Hook] [Verse 2] As I sit in this car seat thinking 'bout you departing Thinking 'bout hitting the reset button, and-and-and restarting Pull over, pull out the car keys. But the song is still harping That ain't no kick drum. That's my heart beat Never really gave myself a chance to describe my stance On the matter of us. Now you kicking up dust and you let go of my hand And I'm reaching out, but only shadows reach back Holding out with regret. Eyes open now, I see that You're gone, really gone, and I could've done so much more I chase visions in the night, with my pedal to the floor I implore you to understand if I could go back in time You might be mine. I never should've kept those thoughts in my mind Now I'm stuck Feeling down and struck In the oncoming lane I see a truck I'm on self destruct. Ugh [Hook x 2]
12.
[Verse 1: KayR] Working and exerting myself to the end Of my rope and I'm hoping that fans don't have to pretend That they like the tracks the features and the package it's in When I put out my CD, cause I been stuck with this pen Between my fingers for hours, trying to figure it out I've been thinking with power but it won't trigger my mouth Trying single it out, the thoughts that seem most clear But I feel stuck in the middle, like a C note here Behind this desk with this screen just lighting my room Take a walk to clear my mind and try to think of a tune Or a melody and there'll be something that's cool Floating around in my head but when it seems like it's true It's just gone (g-g-g-g-gone, gone). Where did it go? I think I lost it, so then I try to think of a flow How 'bout a rhyme scheme that's dope? Everything just seems to go Out the window, man. This music got me feeling so cold. Ugh [Hook: Erin] I can feel the inspiration and I need to bring it out But I've got an aspiration and I need to sing it out This feels like suffocation and my ears are ringing now But I've got and aspiration and I need to sing it out [Verse 2: KayR] I've got to sing it out, bring it out from my soul. Think about Everything I dream about. Take my shirt and wring it out Sweating through it. Feeling clouds closing in my mind But then I just rewind, wait until the engine's primed But when I push on the pedal, something changes the stakes I'm blasting in full throttle, but I've cut my own breaks And now I'm starting to shake. Can't stop. My writing is great But I be losing everything around. I'm starting to take A new form. I'm a monster. What is this place? I'm just pouring out songs at an unseen pace Something shakes inside and it's going to quake Right through the surface of my mind and it's going to break I want to go back to the way things were. Couldn't write a track but my brain was there Feeling cracks in the paint I swear. I never ever thought that I could end up here This ain't music. This ain't talent. This is something way off balance This is something I can't challenge. This is something I can't fathom. Ugh [Hook] [Bridge: Erin] [Hook x2]

[Intro] Yo, KayR Unh. Uh-huh Let's do it Yo, yeah, unh [Verse 1] Yo, listen to the prophecy I gotta be on top of these tragedies call me Sophocles I'm constantly impossibly spitting that deadly honesty Got so many skills you'd think I deal with Mephistopheles And you obnoxious gs chilling and you're doubting While I'm spilling like a fountain, flowing, trying to amount to The things in my dreams. Do more numbers than accountants Cause I'm leading the pack, but I ain't the one scouting That's for the record heads, cause I could leave a record dead In a couple seconds or less. So where the records at? I will have you taking back everything you ever said About how I could never endeavor to get to wrecking it Unh. You haters causin' anguish They say money talks I'm just tryna learn the language I just wanna be successful You haters wasting all the lead in my pencils [Hook] You never had faith in my dreams, said it's hard to believe But now you'll see the lights, the lights And it'll start with the screams, the crowds and the teams of supporters for me And I will be in the lights, the lights (I will be in the lights) [Verse 2] So maybe grab sunglasses And prepare to get passed by the fastest Who's puttin' you on blast. It's savage to the masses If you sleepin' on me, I'll put your ass through the mattress Past tense rappers getting wrapped up And all these present tense actors in a cast. What Do you think I mean when I say "I get lunar"? I make 'em tense cause I say "I'm from the future" New to this spit, learn my name quick Just keep on rapping and, boy, my game sick KayR getting ill on this damn arrangement Keep on doubting, I'm soaring in my spaceship Unh. I'm trying to put the ME in FAME And you trying to F me in the A I thought there was an US in FAMOUS Guess what FAMO I mean it when I say this [Hook] [Bridge] So let me see your hearts tonight Cause I'm just gonna beam it bright Through every house and home it might Take over the world. Yeah that's right. Unh Sorry hater, did you say something? I couldn't hear ya cause I feel the lights coming Haha, I feel the lights coming The lights coming sing it with me, come on. It goes [Hook x2]
