Growth 03:29
Allow me to make a proper reintroduction pardon the interruption you sleep on me thinking there wouldn't be any repercussions we don't need no discussions my banging beats and percussions leave haters weakened and crushed and naysayers with a concussion we can all see its disgusting how these people be lusting after MCs who just suck and really ain't speaking on nothing don't be scared, I'm prepared, I just needed adjusting show me the king I'll crush him like I'm a best in a dungeon don't spit verses, I lurch them spreading like germs when you heard them but I stay cleaner than virgins purging in church with detergent now watch my evolution, just start a revolution I'll make sure you forget these rappers, new years resolutions they only boast, they're supposed to show you some hope they phony I'll take an oath cause the game needs growth Back in it like a tenant whose lease has just been extended I'm a menace to my enemies And I'll be 'til the ending winning streaks, I end them better keep on defending 'cause the second you let your guard down you cats are finished stop pretending you only want money cars and women and you wonder why everybody says that rap is witless? You only boast you're supposed to show us some hope you phony, I'll take an oath 'cause the game needs growth Who's the greatest ain't no need to answer that man where's my manners at? You spittin' like you just began to rap I got cancer raps sick flows like the track off of the circle, yall remember that? And my flow's raw, no filter, this ain't a camera app I got followers like Instagram because I've been the man like even as a kid at disneyland but I ain't finished man just getting started pardon me and my retarded flow tearing apart competition leaving them scarred so you know that I go hard with the flow artist who's starving but no not for the profit, acknowledge I went from novice to pro these other artists are faux F-A-U-X, not an O they just follow up acts modeled after who started the show P-Y-R to the O scorching and charring my foes original while your favorite rapper be borrowing flows making moves I won't sit back and play a part or a role this time it's not just my fro you're now, watching my growth

Brilliant 04:03
Some people say that it's pure talent Some people say that it's dumb luck They send hate, and they send malice But really I don't give one fuck 'Cause I feel like the greatest in the world I know I'm not yet, I'm just waiting on my turn My lyrics all hot, making all these jaws drop 'Til they lock, and these suckers can't say another word That's Brilliant (That's Brilliant mayne, see the game done changed and you still the same I still remain, you'll never kill the flame I got big dreams, and you're still awake) Homie that's brilliant (That's brilliant mayne, see the game done changed and you still the same) It was all a dream Hold up, drop it was all a dream All I'm wondering is when did I fall asleep You see, 'cause every single time that I try to get some rest It never works, the music keeps calling me Flow priceless, dollar tree Whack rappers is all I see I could wipe them out with no apology And leave the scene like the Roanoke Colony You'll be like "Have you seen that dude?" You're never gonna see him boy, Dreamcast 2 And I mean that too Once I get into your ears, you can never get me out That's a mean tattoo Think you're better? Tryna make it to my spot? Well... You'd do better tryna tell us how your snot smell(s) I excel in the areas you lack at Have you feeling dumb like you're running with a backpack Anytime that I hop up on a beat There ain't nothing you can tell me man You're trying to compete, but your rhymes are weak And your flow's worse than Ray Charles' selfie game She was looking for a real man she knows you're not one Now she's all in my bed like granola bar crumbs I asked her why she's into me, she looked towards me and said "You got a way with words like a bookstore thief" That's brilliant mayne See the game done changed and you're still the same I still remain, you'll never kill the flame I got big dreams, and you're still awake That's brilliant mayne See the game done changed and you're still the same I still remain, you'll never kill the flame I know you want me to stop, but I'm here to stay Some people say that its pure talent Some people say that its dumb luck They send hate, and they send malice But really I don't give one fuck 'Cause I, feel like the greatest in the world I know I'm not yet, I'm just waiting on my turn My lyrics all hot Making all these jaws drop 'Til they lock, and these suckers can't say another word Like that Cliche "I'm back" It's like I never left by the way my tracks replay, matter fact DJ, bring it back Kicking flows, I need a knee brace when I rap, man Got your CD and its sitting in my trash can Step it up homie all you do is tap dance Dropping weak songs Claiming that you're dropping bombs I'm trying to get rid of them, like the 60's Batman Remember playing Pac-Man In the back of my class Had the Game Boy hidden in my backpack Middle school's where I started writing raps at I was a nerd, when I read them, I was laughed at Claiming that I had more money than Bill Gates I thought that shit was real, but it really was real fake Saying I was rich, I wasn't then, and I still ain't Thought I was the shit, I wasn't then, and I still ain't Fast forward senior year, see I had more Songs in my notebook than words on the blackboard I made a song with anybody who would ask, or You need a beat? I got you covered like a hat store I gotta make it, Pyromaniac, Track four That was my one goal like I was a task force Rap game weak, man what you think I rap for? You thinking you're a star? Nah, black dwarf That's brilliant mayne See the game done changed and you're still the same I still remain, you'll never kill the flame I got big dreams, and you're still awake That's brilliant mayne See the game done changed and you're still the same I still remain, you'll never kill the flame I know you want me to stop, but I'm here to stay Some people say that its pure talent Some people say that its dumb luck They send hate, and they send malice But really I don't give one fuck 'Cause I, feel like the greatest in the world I know I'm not yet, I'm just waiting on my turn My lyrics all hot Making all these jaws drop 'Til they lock, and these suckers can't say another word Like that

No Sleep 03:17
These suckas can’t hold me back God MC. This a holy track. Negativity, nah I don’t need that See its only good vibes where my homies at Sayin’ “Oh he’s wack” But I don’t react 'Cause I know these suckas only into phony raps You say you got skills, but I don’t see that Your verse is all fiction. Show me facts The only way I’d have a chance of losin’ Is if Pac and Biggie did the dance for fusion I leave all my competition in a trance. Confuse ‘em Man they're thinking that they're better? That’s a damn delusion I aim, shoot, straight for the stars You ran out of ideas and take some of ours I can tell you why they all wanna listen to me: I GO HAM, like GOTHAM CITY missing a T, yeah We go hard because you know that we can So I’m in the booth snapping like a poetry slam 10 o’clock in Cincinnati, hope I make it home Man I’m killing everything boy--Game of Thrones, ha You get a free pass I’m hot, but they’re sleeping on me--decaf. Your girl is my addiction I feed that. I get my fix, then I’m dipping, teabag You had enough yet? That was a low blow, no cup check Man these whack rappers out here, claiming that they up next I don’t wanna hear it like my parents having rough sex! That’s cringe-worthy, does the crown fit? 'Cause I’ve been worthy I’ve been up all night that’s no sleep Stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak boy (I've been up all night that's no sleep stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak, boy) (I've been up all night that's no sleep stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak boy) I've been up all night, that's no sleep You're saying you're the best? Better show me Fans overdosing on the dope beats And I don't like to boast, let the flow speak Don't let me get in my zone, please Spitting like a nigga got no teeth Eyes red like I blow trees RIP to the old me Back with a vengeance Man skip acceptance Nickname me Dennis I've been a menace Man quit pretending you can keep up with the best I kill the game, you're just sweeping up the mess Ha, You're just sweeping up the mess DJ Khaled flow, we the fucking best I ain't even hot yet, man I'm heating up at best No sleep, no sleep, man I need some fucking rest I need to take a break Rap game full of fakes And the garden's full of snakes So I gotta watch my step Be among the greats It's a dream I gotta chase I've been chasing it so long that I'm running out of breath Had to give myself a little time to breathe Killing shit since January 26, '93 You wanna hate? That's fine with me 'Cause I connect to real people like we're Siamese I don't listen to your music Why? You see I really hate hearing somebody lie to me I'm everything that you try to be Real like the people who inspire me So live that I gotta write four wills I ain't talking about the car that you ride in, see No Toyota, no GM, no Ford, Honda, Pontiac Sleep is for the weak, and I'm restless, that's an insomniac No Toyota, no GM, no Ford, Honda, Pontiac Sleep is for the weak, and I'm restless, that's an insomniac No sleep (I've been up all night that's no sleep stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak boy) (I've been up all night that's no sleep stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak boy)

Bitter: Drop See they used to laugh because I sucked in the beginning Now they're getting mad because they see a nigga winning If their chick is bad, then they know I have to smash Tell them they can have her back after all my homies get it See they used to laugh, because I never had shit Thought that I was whack, because I didn't rap bricks But now I'm spitting crack They don't know how to react Because I'm making all their tracks sound simple as shit You bitter ass bitch [Verse 1: Dankwa] Guess who's back in the booth They tried to shut me up, because I'm rapping the truth I'ma bring down the house, pouring gas on the roof Let that motherfucker burn, see I'm acting aloof Hip Hop is dead? The casket was loose I'ma pull it back out, save it faster than you could imagine, leave these rappers back in the tomb Like how much shit these rappers say is actually true? You can do anything you set your mind to I just wish I took my own advice Quit buying time, auctions are not an option Going once, going twice The flow is nice, it's cold as ice I control my life, no rolling dice Can't win if your heart isn't into that shit Keep pushing, don't become a bitter ass bitch See they used to laugh because I sucked in the beginning Now they're getting mad because they see a nigga winning If their chick is bad, then they know I have to smash Tell them they can have her back after all my homies get it See they used to laugh, because I never had shit Thought that I was whack, because I didn't rap bricks But now I'm spitting crack They don't know how to react Because I'm making all their tracks sound simple as shit You bitter ass bitch [Verse 2: Swilla] Sit back, let me show you how to spit raps Shit's so dope, would've thought I flip packs But I've been in this class With a pen and this pad Give me any beat and I could make a hit fast His ass could rap? Who would've thought that? Snapping on a track like he thought it was a bra strap Wreck this beat like a coupe If you need that proof Let me give you this Carfax I'm here to stay You better clear the way Do my own thing, getting weird today Make the whole damn crowd cheer for days And getting all my old peers to hate I'll give them years of greatness Play this if you don't believe Too cold, get a cold, get frozen, please Yeah, play this if you don't believe I'm too cold zero degrees Swilla (D.A.N.K.W.A. starts here) Said I'm a dope ass nigga kicking it with attitude Dope ass nigga Kicking it with attitude Dope ass nigga Kicking it with attitude Dope ass nigga Let me show you how I do D.A.N.K.W.A. Hit the booth and spit nothing but flames Family name, 'cause we're one and the same I'm a glitch, bitch, I'm here to fuck up the game I'm hitting tracks while you niggas slackin' Just quit the act, you ain't with the action Your bitch is bad? Nah your bitch is Katniss We'll fuck you up in front of her, Lenny Kravitz, Ha Don't let Dank in the zone Don't let Dank in the zone I'm making it known That I'm taking the throne If they're saying I won't I go straight for their throat Leave them shaking and cold When I aim for a goal there's no way that I'll fold Yeah I'm changing I know But I pray and I hope I remain as a dope ass nigga, kicking it with attitude Dope ass nigga Kicking it with attitude Dope ass nigga Kicking it with attitude Dope ass nigga Kicking it with attitude I'm spitting crazy shit turn on the radio hear that lazy shit If you hate me bitch I ain't phased a bit Right now my concern is making it I go ham, you niggas bacon bits (Fades out)
