Ours 01:45
Before my heavens in the sky, my demons need to fall, I guess I seen it all, I need a shoulder I can lean towards, I need help or whatever that may mean to yall, you may be rich, but that sound, sound the cheapest dog, You say you living I can tell you never breathed before, My nigga this aint chess, this a sport, Imma say it from my chest boy you pork, niggas think they eating with no bev or a fork, it make no sense to put a pen in this war, I cut my palms and then I write these lyrics with a sword, you can see it in my spirit ay, see it in my core, I ain't here to share a plate, or do another nigga chores, put my negatives away, and put that euphemism forward, I been pedaling away so I could move the movement forward, getting shitty drunk and now i'm looting in the store, its so confusing to be poor , with rich minds, my nigga get behind you missed yours How i'm s'pose to thrive in the city, whats a MIKE to a businessman named Billy, grab the mic, keep spitting and then chants came quickly like..

Reach 02:16
Momma tryna keep me in the crib, but my conscience moving sneaky I'mma dip Tying up the laces on the sneaker, I'm a cheesy little kid, English accent easy through the lips, pree me through the lisp, creepin' through abyss, I'm turning to man, but I don't understand why you reachin' for the chips, why you reachin' for the chips, blood sweat tears on the bleachers never quit, until the bucks come near, like their season in the six, sister in the room, she throwin' reefer in the ditch, but I don't understand, I don't understand, I'm turning to a man, scribble over scriptures, Jesus turn into a lamb, fire of the church, my sins is burning in my hands, School means success, my sister learning for a chance, how she spose to earn it if she cant, they told me plant ya seed, and watch it turn into your land, I'mma turn into a man

mines 02:33
I, I just want to know, my skies they reach for you, im high, blood leak from nose , and I, and I just wanna know 3 thou on the bronx park east, sheep howl when the sun start peak, flee down on the one yard leap, yoruba and my son yardy, deep down on my corpse Ill breath, sunlight and of course Ill see, every course that the lord might bring, write that and record that ting, white girl dont recall that ting, night yells from a chord it sings, I, I just want to know, my skies they reach for you, im high, blood leak from nose , and I, and I just wanna know Straight off of burke, put my face in the dirt, and im laced with the work, one with the world, steady chasing the earth, chasing this bread, I been pacing for purse, so amazing it hurts, I hated penn station, then I figured that they hated me first, they disgusted, my black face is like rubbish, these xans is black plaque in ya stomach, how the fuck you backtrace to be nothing, but fuck it, these niggas lack taste in they substance

Girl 02:58
I'M just REALLY TRYNA FUCK, but thank God, I catch feelings like ya butt when we done, I swear I see tomorrow in the Sun, everyday be getting brighter, but there's sorrow in his son, I seen your face and fell inlove, I seen the pavement turn to dust, before my hands, I had to snatch the buck before it ran, so everytime I rap I look disgusted and my band right behind me, so nigga jump ship if you can, the pumpkin hit he stage, dumb lit off the yams, jumpin in the sage, writing scripts in the sand, every flip of the page, another glimpse in the span, put some drip in my walk, so she would slip and she would land, in dismissal of these grands, I needed one so I got one, I''m just a flame in the hot sun, and you mad because you not one in dismissal of these grands, I had to issue up a plan, and bust a tissue from my glands, Im hardly breathing but I stand, they like Mikey what you talking, Im just speaking for my mans, the gas leaking out the cannister, im brain smart, ya boy coulda went to banneker, but fuck it boy i'm lazy with some luggage that could damage ya, catch me out in public, in my bag, or in my birkin, girl i fell inlove before I first hit, and you can find the evidence and clues inside these verses, so baby tell me if its worth it,

40 STOPS 01:12
I see it in you, I see a God, City of sons, city is dark, insidous art, grittiest parts, black as revolvers that tear me apart, Pack me a soda and marry a cart, 40 stops then I depart, 40 stops then I depart, straight from the park, uptown bound, nigga dont touch that ounce, niggas gon dust this pound, my niggas just work no lounge, im feeling perfect now, didnt go to purchase wow, blade make the purchase sound, as I hurt this clown, you copied your mans you got worthless clout, it really aint worth shit bro, you cleaning your purses out, yea, you aint really ouchea, hell is still coming but this time it sound near, coming for all of the people the ground share, manhattan or brooklyn but nobody coming around here 40 stops then i depart, 40 stops then i depart, theres more to this world, so why would i shoot for the stars, you looting it all, 40 STOPS!

Mike : It's either you fam you food, it's only my mans in the room, I do this dance for the sun, with both of my hands on the moon, alotta you niggas is trash, I guess I'm extending the broom, I did this work all alone, please stop pretending its you, I spent some days in my room, so I could present this to youth, my boys need a ring this year, I need a letterman too, youngest in the game right now, but i'm making veteran moves, I need that guaca right now, smellin' like mexican food, fuck I just said food twice, boy i'm a star in the blue night, boy i'mma bar if the mood right, noisey my bars when the tune hype, you spitting but you aint really move Mike, when you on stage you dont move Mike Jonny U : Now that Mikey set the mood right with food twice, far out gimme two slices, who's nice as this? who writes like this? U paid his dues on used mics or slightly preowned, rightly he owns all the steaks, y'all fight for meat bones, write and rewrite rhymes the reflex time is tight like ice to knee bones. I just said bones twice, roll this track like pits to Old Spice, golden flow just pissed and missed the bowl, mister old guy, fists of coal hot furnace burnin might preach a sermon on demon worship this evil wordsmith will have you askin fore you open that trap go to spittin that rap is it even worth it.

Stuck beneath my goals, digging out the hole like a barrel and the smoke, if you think i fear you than you bold, i'm comparable to cold, man ya niggas need respect and some theraflu to go, ain't no therapeutic flows, when you hear the dude compose and I been running from the jakes, I got some emeralds to glow, I pray that I'm memorable when old, visions of my past got my temple moving slow, I need a medal with some gold, I steady pedal in these roads, I'm ready for confetti, spittin' heavy till I choke, he said I'm like a yetti holding coke, cause you don't even know if its the yetti or the coke, stumble off my papa henny, ready to explode

Tacuma : I can't even stand the smell of you niggas, eating all summer wasn't frail in the winter, need meat around them bones whene the hale come to hit cha, spells from the witch looking pale in the picture, trails from the stench lead your tail to the center, I never bail, I'm a winner, Christian bale in a spinner, slinging shells at a villain, phone fulla numbers that I fail to remember, holy with the bars, I raised in December just alittle bit of must, fist riddled full of cuts, burning in the midsummer sun, its like im one feet beneath my goals, one feet to hit the ball and reach the goal, dumb sheep the type to follow for your gold, the shit turn to glitter when it swallow up your soul, it sucks being hollow being broke, questioning your future but tomorrow never knows, my heart is something borrowed from my home, I faced all them sorrows all alone, faith been a product of my own, I been barking for a bone, Im a DOG, AND IM DARK, IN THE DARK, War : If i dont go to purchase, Imma purchase it all, spit from the lungs till it hurt when i cough, learnt from the courts where i learnt how to ball, learnt how to judge, then i learnt how to fall, you was burning bridges, we was burning the law, searching for the sermon in the songs, you burglarized art then you murder my dogs, imma bird in the night, as I fly in the fog, spending my time getting lost, hitting the mic on my jaw, dribbling light in the fourth, quarter to buy me a slice or a bar, i put myself in this war, you put yourself in this war, my parents did nothing at, my knuckles they bleeding from walls, my knuckles they bleeding from war

Some days I feel like im lazy, Some days i feel like I made it, look what this rap shit had made me, I know that some niggas shade me, im praying for that as of lately, pressing my foot on the pavement, she looking like that aint my baby, face is just full of amazement, Some days man I feel like the greatest, some days man i feel like i aint shit, i scribble my name on the painting, entitle myself to the pain, its the tidal repel from the rain, Michael a helluva name, Michael an angel inside, I guess he fell for the fame, I guess he is selfish again, I put my health in this pen, I put a cell in my brain, I put my self on the page, I take my wealth to this grave, I take this L to the face, I don't take L's I'm a great, that is not up for debate, i left some crumbs on your plate, niggas is starving they front like they ate, slept on the floor where that comforter laid, resting my stomach would ache, i just been running days, I just been running for days, I fell inlove with today looking from the outside in, at the hands and the mouth i sin, I ain't leave the house in a year, just a man on the couch right here, every sound that I hear, rebound from my fears,and astounded I stare, 40 ounce of the beer, and my allowance is shared, by the ones I allow to be near, e, over these hours repair, my health, my life and fatigue, myself I lie to my needs, slime on my teeth, wake up in the morning just complying to breath, another man in this earth who am I trying to be, im the only one who's lying to me,
