Caught In A Dream Lyrics

Caught in a dream
Verse 1:
Caught in a dream, I’m lost in the scene
Should I swallow my pride? man, I’m caught in between
Not sure if I want the quiet life
But I won’t know till I try the lights

All my close friends sayin’ don’t stare it’ll hurt
So I put on my shades and prepare for the worst
Give me one dance with the groupies
I’m sorry in advance if you lose me, AZ

Chorus:
I’m livin in the moment
The past and the future doesn’t matter to me
Shouldve listened to the warnings
This life that I chose got me caught in a dream

(Ohhh)
I said this life that I chose got me caught in a dream x2

Verse 2:
I’m not happy with myself unless I’m being productive
You might think it’s a curse but I mother fucking love it
So I keep working around the clock
Til I think I’m ready then I’m really serving up the block

Don’t assume I’m nervous in my verses cause I’m not
I’m just trying to get it perfect then that courage is gonna drop
Until then let me live I’m just doing me
Say what you want, you’ll never get through to me

If I’m going to fail it needs to happen on it’s own
But you can bet your bottom dollar I’m gonna give it all I got
I’m still getting better so I know I got a chance
And I wont stop until I’m spittin like I’m Pac

I finally embraced my revolutionary bloodline
I no longer get chills off a punchline
Exiled before birth so I yearn for acceptance
But I still strive for perfection

Verse 3:
I’m gonna dedicate my life to pushing the culture forward
Hip-Hop saved me so it’s something that I owe it
I’m not tryna to be a stoic, I’m not tryna be heroic
I’m tryna spread light on something you barely noticed

He was caught in a dream, it turned into a coma
Gettin’ lost in the green, I think it could be over
Shit is not what it seems, we gotta get you sober
First you wanted a car, it turned into a Rover

Get your mind right the lime light is givin you seasures
Your song on the radios a mild fever
Don’t get amnesia, all them people weren’t believers when you first started
Man you couldn’t have got a worse bargain

You traded in your fam for some fairweather fans
Stop followin’ that major labels plan
Dont lose sight of why you fell in love with music
You talked a big game it’s time to prove it, AZ

Old Friend (Clean) Lyrics

Old Friend
[Verse 1]
I got a call that shit hurt my soul
You of all people shoulda known, that shit personal
Dog you let a snake come between us, how's a ho gon defeat us?
When I heard you took our songs down, I couldn't believe it

We put our life in that shit, you ain't right for that shit
Man my music is my heart, you put a knife in that shit
I hope you never feel this typa pain, for real
I hope you never feel this way, this shit surreal

They fuck you in this game and try to keep it under covers
But your mom is like my mom, your brothers like my brother
You turned on me for nothing, imagine if we made real money
Now that'd be real funny

I'm hearing that you shit on my career and character
But I don't feed into the games, that'd only embarrass us
Couple years from now, I hope we laugh and just cherish it
Drinking wine, eating Duck Confit up in Paris wit... all my old friends

[Hook ]
Old Friend, old friend
Best friends become strangers
X2

A thug changes, and love changes
And best friends become strangers
Old friend, old friend
Best friends

[Verse 2]
My brother, we ain't talked in so long
I never thought that you'd be gone for so long
I hear the rumors and they hard to believe
Cause the artist I wanna be is gon be hard to achieve

Without you in my corner, but I got faith in myself
Did you ever believe or was I playing myself
Time heals all, I'll just write more songs
It happens to everyone, I guess life goes on

My ace and my mentor, treated you like my kinfolk
Metronome to my piano, we shoulda slowed up the tempo
So we could've enjoyed the journey more, but look at our progress
Successful or not, the best part of it all was the process

It kills me a little just knowing that you gave up on me
But no matter what happens with music, I hope you stay up homie
Always do what's best for yourself, put in that work for your family
Cause at the end of the day, all bullshit aside, you deserve to be happy

[Hook]

Pressure (Clean) Lyrics

Pressure

Verse 1:
Look
The pressure to make it will leave you jaded
Faded not phased by the haters
I swear they all got an opinion
Listen to the tracks before you cop and opinion

God damn, I learned wit’ the rhymes
That you only get better after serving ya time
With that said, I have room to improve
My mind on the money in a room full of dudes

and they’re all counting on me
what if I dont make it man will they be bouncing on me? I can’t take it damn
What do I want? I can’t even remember
I’m thinking ‘bout June and it’s not even December

A Summer with my teams the only thing on my agenda
Gotta change my lifestyle and focus on the right now
Cause I really want to look back next year
and say that last year was my best year, aw yeah

Break:
(Pressure x3)

Verse 2:
Yo look, I dont even know what real no more
Man I can’t even express how I feel no more
My Dad went blind and there’s still no cure
But he made me the victim when he gave me his vision

And you people wonder why I’m insanely ambitious
That’s why I make a difference every time I approach a track
I try to close the gap and rap
I know my heart imploded the moment that he was diagnosed in fact

I use my voice on the mic
As a way to fill that void in my life
A little boy made a choice was it right? I’ll never know
I really hope my destiny is not set and stone

I’m the eyes of my team, am I in a facade?
The wrong turn will be the end of Azad
If I fail my dude I’m fine
Ive had enough pain to last two life times

Outro:
(You can’t phase me x 3)
(Pressure x 3)

Full Circle (Accapella) Lyrics

Full Circle

[Intro: THURZ]
THURZ every day of the week
'til that throne is my seat
I still remain the name
What's your word and your name?

[Verse 1: THURZ]
Work, if you can bet it, don't have property of your own
And if that was the case, then any city is my zone
Bet, double it up, I got land I can loan
Nah, fuck it, I give you the world in every one of the verse off

First, off top, they ain't cold wit' a slight cough
Bent off the truth, they hail mary's is picked off
Better pray for real and kneel I can't chill
Only aims to be a God, ya'll can keep them blue pills

Reality is, my dreams is right where my sanity is
I'm in the sky outta my brain
They used to hear about me, now they really know my name
Easy to point me out when everything just sounds the same

This designer music what I'm preaching to you lames
Cut from my fabric and stained with my veins
And mami wanna talk about it's different now, she wrote her vows
They used to like me then but shit they really fuckin' love me now

[Break: Azad Right]
They liked me back then but they lovin' me now
Aw yeah, they fuck wit' me now
Said they liked me back then but they lovin' me now
Aw yeah, they fuck wit' me now

[Verse 2: Azad Right]
I feel the stars aligning, took 13 years but I made it
Found my higher calling, my peers blew up as I waited
Made a promise that when my moments here, I'll be ready for greatness
And the moment that they catch on, I'll be ready to change it up

Love when shit comes full circle, new beginnings make new endings
Truth spilling outta my veins, I'm leaving you lames all loose winded
I'm Bruce Willis, can't break me when the chips fall down, homie who's bending?
Not me, I'm breathing new life in the game as I hook up these IVs

My passion, hereditary, influenced by the legendary
All my verses soulful, for the hopeful is my cemetery
Sometimes I feel broken, cause I feel like it's too late
Sometimes I lose focus but I never seem to lose faith

My father always told me no comprising your vision
You're a citizen of the world, so harmonize with the system
Show respect to all religions whether you Muslim, Jewish or Christian
Or other, I swear I love you and I don't look at you any different but i believe in me…
I believe in me
I believe in me

Alone Lyrics

Alone

Verse 1:
It's so odd, I can't get a job, I can't get a call
Maxed out credit cards, over draft on my debit card
Damn, man, what to do?
Mom keep saying that it's up to you
She's the reason I was stuck in school
Now I feel like a fuckin' fool

Cause what I wanna do don't need a degree
What I wanna do comes easy to me
But it's so hard to get paid for this shit
I love knowing that I'm never safe in this bitch

On my toes, I'm chasing the hits
And it makes my day when they say that I'm sick
But don't do me no favors, hater
Fuel my fire 'til I make it major

I know that my time gon' come
AnR's say I gotta find that one
Song, that'll blow me up
But I've heard that so much, I've gone numb

You can't spit a flow if I wrote you that shit
So gimme my dough like you owe me that shit
And why you keep tellin' me to lose my producers
These dudes make the music I move to

Look, how you gon' say that we're not on fire?
How you gon' say I'm not an iLL songwriter?
They write hits, I write emotions
You don't like this, better get to rollin'

Stop tryn' Lupe me
I'll tell you right now that it's too late b
And please don't bring up any other rapper
I'll tell you once more these dudes ain't me, AZ

[Hook]
After everything
That I've done
They don't see
I'm still alone

I'm out here tryin' to make a livin'
Doin' something different but it doesn't even matter

A part of me
Wants to let it go
But can't you see
It's all I know

I'm out here tryin' to make a livin'
Doin' something different but it doesn't even matter

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I don't wanna kick raps
Sometimes I wanna kick back
With my feet up, lay back and chill
In the way back of the maybach for real

Wishing, I'm dreaming for a reason
I've convinced myself that if I keep believin' then eventually I'll be it

But who got my back? I know I do
I keep telling myself they gon' find you
Lifes a bitch, I'm Nas in 92
Street poet but I ain't Crip or Piru

Don't think that I'm soft dog
The shit that I say from my heart dog
I'm on one, but I'm off ya'll
And they say every rappers a lost cause, so

Let me get straight to it
I just make music
It ain’t got no color or genre
So, I guess you can call it Obama

Still, when I'm rappin' I happen to see
Even my family ain't happy for me
I'm mad at my friends, the ones who said that they had my back 'til the end

But they don't pick up my calls
Convenient homies, I don't even need you phonies
Ok then, get lost
You're bitchmade, I'm pissed off

Cause I give and you take
'Til I ain't got shit left to take
So I think, that you fake
And I ain't got shit left to say

Stained (Clean) Lyrics

Stained

Verse 1:
4-5 till I die, got my team here
And we on the prowl club hoppers better beware
Drinking out the fucking bottle till we can’t see clear
Condoms in our pockets just so we can say we're prepared

David Dann spinning got my world upside down
2 hours later, got your girl upside down
What’d I tell you about tempting me
Man you better think twice before you mention me

[Chorus]
I need not explain the pain that’s in me
I’m not the type to complain but my veins are blue
I haven’t been to vent, to vent, in a minute
Cause my memory’s been stained, been stained by you

Verse 2:
Ah, A-Z, liquor sipping, slipping a fucking tripping
Got a half british broad and she puffing on something wicked
Recently I been cutting a bunch of bitches
Trying to get over my ex, I’m looking something different

Nymphos, white broads and they bring their kin folk
The tempo was quite hard, fogging up the windows
I’m at the edge, don’t push me, I might fall
When she gets wet enough I dive in like a lifeguard

Temptation I’m chasing a better high
Never cheated on my ex and fuck it I never lied
So why I can’t get my mind off her
Man I can’t accept the sad fact that I’ve lost her, shit

I don’t try to hide so you gotta show me love
I could easily be overdosing on a load of drugs
But instead I’m at the club getting over you
Never looking back, time to get up in the lac cause

Verse 3:
A-z, I’m still having flash backs of New York
How would you feel if every single that you thought
Would have gone right, went wrong
Now your crew’s gone and you all alone, but you know you gotta move on

Surrounded by fake people that don’t know you
You gotta keep acting like it’s all cool
And even when you ain’t got no money
You gotta keep fronting like you ball too

The ones who understand me in another city
But I’m doing this for us, I hope they don’t forget me
So I keep on drinking everything these fuckers send me
I’m running through these cigs like a fucking chimney

I’m folding to the pressure of the game quick
I can’t hold my own now, imagine if I make it
High as fuck and I ain’t really trying to over think
So I tip the waiter and I pour myself another drink

[Chorus]

Promises (Clean) Lyrics

Promises
Dear wifey

Verse 1:
I promise you even when we don’t talk
You’ll hear from me
I keep you in my heart so you’ll always be near to me
You play a part so you have nothing to fear, honey
Not at all

I can’t promise you attention
But I can promise you I’ll listen, listen
Regardless of my mood
I promise you support in anything you ever choose to do
My biggest fear is losing you, baby

I promise you, when the balls over
You’re have my first child, that’s when it’s all over
And we’ll start a new beginning together
You know I don’t believe in marriage
But we’ll end it together

Cause for you I could bend my rules
I still get the chills every time my friends mention you
It’s impossible for you to always trust me
But I need you to promise you’ll still love me

[Hook]
Tell me you’ll never leave me
You know it won’t be easy
Tell me you won’t forget us
Tell me you’ll never give up, I promise

Tell me that you’ll hold me down
I promise
Tell me you’ll be around
I promise
Tell me you’ll always stay the same
I promise
Tell me you’ll never change
I promise

[Verse 2]
I promise you that you’re half of the reason that I do this shit
Even though you’re turned off by the music bizz
Just remember that I’ll never lose my cool
And I promise that I’ll use all the money as a tool

Slap me to remind me of my past
If I ever try to act like a fool
I’ll never turn my back on my dudes
Cause I don’t really care about the extra shit
No, I’ve never been desperate for a sexy whip

What the people don’t know is
I don’t need to blow
I write songs cause I got emotions
And they need to flow
I promise that I’ll see you on the holidays
And I promise to respond when you call my name

If you ever need somebody to talk to
Tell me where you need to go and I’ll walk you
Cause I’d feel awful if you took away that privilege
I promise you there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for our friendship

Listen..

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I promise to do whatever it takes to stay happy
Cause success means nothing if you ain’t happy
I can’t promise that you’ll find what you’re looking for
But you gotta keep pushing dog, move forward

And remember, be humble at the end of it all
No matter how much you accomplish, don’t mention it all
Stay open to new things and don’t forget to breathe
When your times comes, don’t forget to leave

Play the background and help another kid live his dreams out
Cause you should truly know what that means now
Tell him that he gotta hold his team down
And keep playing till the games done

Promise that I won’t forget where I came from
Me, Jon and O, three bullets from the same gun
Sitting 'round the fire, now we’re getting higher
Telling stories of our journey, so our family gets inspired

Outro:
No matter how tired
Or discouraged you get
Gotta keep grinding
Love whatever you do
And it’ll love you back
I promise

Hoop Dreams (Clean) Lyrics

Hoop Dreams
[Verse 1: Azad Right]
First love was basketball, joined the team round third grade
I was too young for the, sign ups so we, lied about my birthday
But I still balled, short kid so to me everybody real tall
Coming off the bench, I was like the tenth man but I still got steals dog
I stuck with it, my game kinda sucked
But I worked hard as fuck so they fucked with it
The young homie, I was always on call
Like hit me when you tryna get them runs homie

The first to the park but the last to get picked
The story of my life, ain't that some shit
I ain't got no height, I ain't no bounce
And I can't shoot the three? Ain't that a bitch

Man, I hated training, fuck the weight room shit, I stayed complaining
I never saw results so I stayed impatient
I quit playing ball man, I lost myself for a while, gotta thank the
Amazing grace of

The Hip-Hop Gods for converting me over to the dark side
It split me and my crew down the middle like Apartheid so you know I had to let the song cry
I guess we found out where my heart lies huh
You can still see where the scars lie bruh

Look, 5'10 with the soul of a 6'6 cat with a 7 ft wingspan
I still got game like an 06 Kobe, I don' need no muhfucking wingman
The mic is my ball and the stage is my court
And LA is my home, I'm the Kingpin, homie

The king with the pen, get it? Don't forget it
When I'm spitting, never timid, man I made it outta Venice
Traveling the world, still committed to my city
And the windows never tinted, see everybody wit' me

King with the pen, double cup of Henny
And the Lakers are my team so the out of towners envy
No matter where we are, still committed to the city
And everybody wit me screaming...

[Hook: Azad Right]
I still got hoop dreams (Hoop… Dreams)
X4

King with the pen, get it, don't forget it
When I'm spitting, never timid, man I made it outta Venice
Traveling the world, still committed to the city
And the windows never tinted, see everybody wit' me

King with the pen, double cup of Henny
And the Lakers are my team, so the outta towners envy
No matter where we are, still committed to the city
And everybody wit me screaming…

Santa Monica Lyrics

Santa Monica
[Chorus]
I'm on the PCH, I'm going 68
Just living my life, enjoying my time, I'm getting it right, aw yeah
I got this girl right here, she's all up in my ear
Tryna get her to ride, wanna get up in side, I’ma hit her tonight, aw yeah

Verse 1:
Been gone for a week but I'm back on it
Roll that weed no hash on it
All white tee, no black on it
My game still G, I dont slack on shit

Ay girl is you riding or what?
I said I'm tired of the grind and I'm trying to cut
You work too much, take time off it
You hurt too much, I'ma take your mind off it

God damn, your ex man’s a bitch though
He don’t handle biz and he can’t resist hoes
You ain’t gotta worry about the broads to my left
I keep ‘em at Bay like San Fransisco

Whats up? you know I got game girl
But I really mean what I say, girl
Either way I'm gon’ have you
and if your friends ask say that you had too (yeah)

[Chorus]

Verse 2:
My city, I'm driving through it
my music they vibing to it
Let me tell you like a G told me
They don’t do it like I can do it

Look, I'm in the spot right now
and every single track that I drop is hot
Yeah, I'm on the clock right now
so when I ride by they all stop and watch

You ain’t ever heard of something this ill
ima do what I want yeah fuck what you feel
better holler whats up if you real (man)
If you find me in the cut, we can chill (damn)

You ain’t gotta worry, I don’t change with the weather
These lames in the game all change for the cheddar
So you best prepare
we gon be here for the next few years, aw yeah I swear

Verse 3:
I’m in NY but I’m goin’ back home
I do it for my dad and my mom back home
I care for my peeps, with their ears to the streets
Turn the radio up if I'm on that song

I will not disappoint
Cause I ain't taking no L's, you can hit the joint
Please try to handle my angle
I was raised in the land of the angels, one love

Outro:
Yeah, Santa Monica baby
The best city in the world

Showtime Lyrics

Showtime

Verse 1:
You can hear it in my slang, I be west coasting
With a hustle like Russell, I’m a def poet
My dude said I should consider being less open
Rap about how I be leavin’ bitches necks broken
They looking at me when they with they man
Cause this time next summer, I’ll be in demand
Damn, so I don’t worry bout a motherfucker talking
Cause they do it so motherfucking often

Look what I’ve accomplished on my own from the closet in my home
Jon smoked me out, now I’m copping him a zone
Cause he likes to get high in our down time
And as long as the beats hot, that sounds fine

Keep grinding cause I really got something to prove, and
I keep smiling cause I really do love what I’m doing
I keep wildin’ cause their really ain’t nothing I’m losing
I’m too disciplined to ever slip up in the music

All the things that I used to be embarrassed ‘bout
Are coincidentally all the things that I cherish now
I used to think that I was wack cause I wasn't black
So I started blackin' out on every fuckin' track

I told them ‘bout my past and my struggle with the cash
I was pathetic when I used to hustle with the grass
Chasing dreams, in my 92 Pathfinder
Good heart with the mouth of a badass rhymer

I ain’t your typical, rapper, I’m lyrical
Far too critical, so analytical
I’m a perfectionist, funny thing is
I’m still tryna figure out what perfection is

I never settle like a fellow from the ghetto
Who ain’t slept in days, it’s a desperate game
We was raised watching Jay so
Youngins stay gunning, bringing fame to their names for a hand full of change..

Break:
What a god damn shame, what a god damn shame
What a god damn shame, what a god damn shame

You ain’t heard shit yet, look

Verse 2:
Fuck all these cliché new rappers tryna act
Like they too good to dumb it down
If you really had a chance to blow with the money cars and hoes
You would never wanna stay underground

So stop saying that you’re too pure for the game
You swear you’re different, but your flows never change and that’s lame kid
Be yourself bruh
Don’t rap the same shit that everybody else does
Cause everybody else sucks

Close the curtains man I’m planning on killing them all
This for my blue collared workers that chill in the mall
This for my ambitious dudes that still tryna ball
I know the truth about the game, I’m revealing it all

They don’t wanna see us shine, so they holding us back
But you just gotta grind, don’t focus on that
That’s why each and every time I flow on the track
I spit the facts and, ain’t nothing colder than that

Fake it till you make it, is the motto, ok
So they sipping Andre like it’s Rose
Suckas, bullshit is what you full of
And I’m bout to raise the bar, tell me can you do a pull up?

I do it cause I love it, but I also wanna make a living
I ain’t stubborn, I wanna get my music to the public
The masses, but I’m smart enough to not rush
Look, watch me attack in the right fashion

Pay attention please, every single sentence bleeds
All over the beat, there’s no doubt they going to remember me
You thought you were the one before they mentioned me
I killed those thoughts, you’re having suicidal tendencies

There's no survivin' on this island
If you're tryna go mining for a diamond
Don't deny it, I don't mind
But the moment that you even think of lyin' to a lion
Is the same exact moment you'll be dyin', showtime

And the moment that they catch on, I'll be ready to change it up

Love when shit comes full circle, new beginnings make new endings
Truth spilling outta my veins, I'm leaving you lames all loose winded
I'm Bruce Willis, can't break me when the chips fall down, homie who's bending?
Not me, I'm breathing new life in the game as I hook up these IVs

My passion, hereditary, influenced by the legendary
All my verses soulful, for the hopeful is my cemetery
Sometimes I feel broken, cause I feel like it's too late
Sometimes I lose focus but I never seem to lose faith

My father always told me no comprising your vision
You're a citizen of the world, so harmonize with the system
Show respect to all religions whether you Muslim, Jewish or Christian
Or other, I swear I love you and I don't look at you any different but i believe in me…
I believe in me
I believe in me

Santa Monica (Clean) Lyrics

Santa Monica
[Chorus]
I'm on the PCH, I'm going 68
Just living my life, enjoying my time, I'm getting it right, aw yeah
I got this girl right here, she's all up in my ear
Tryna get her to ride, wanna get up in side, I’ma hit her tonight, aw yeah

Verse 1:
Been gone for a week but I'm back on it
Roll that weed no hash on it
All white tee, no black on it
My game still G, I dont slack on shit

Ay girl is you riding or what?
I said I'm tired of the grind and I'm trying to cut
You work too much, take time off it
You hurt too much, I'ma take your mind off it

God damn, your ex man’s a bitch though
He don’t handle biz and he can’t resist hoes
You ain’t gotta worry about the broads to my left
I keep ‘em at Bay like San Fransisco

Whats up? you know I got game girl
But I really mean what I say, girl
Either way I'm gon’ have you
and if your friends ask say that you had too (yeah)

[Chorus]

Verse 2:
My city, I'm driving through it
my music they vibing to it
Let me tell you like a G told me
They don’t do it like I can do it

Look, I'm in the spot right now
and every single track that I drop is hot
Yeah, I'm on the clock right now
so when I ride by they all stop and watch

You ain’t ever heard of something this ill
ima do what I want yeah fuck what you feel
better holler whats up if you real (man)
If you find me in the cut, we can chill (damn)

You ain’t gotta worry, I don’t change with the weather
These lames in the game all change for the cheddar
So you best prepare
we gon be here for the next few years, aw yeah I swear

Verse 3:
I’m in NY but I’m goin’ back home
I do it for my dad and my mom back home
I care for my peeps, with their ears to the streets
Turn the radio up if I'm on that song

I will not disappoint
Cause I ain't taking no L's, you can hit the joint
Please try to handle my angle
I was raised in the land of the angels, one love

Outro:
Yeah, Santa Monica baby
The best city in the world

Pressure Lyrics

Pressure

Verse 1:
Look
The pressure to make it will leave you jaded
Faded not phased by the haters
I swear they all got an opinion
Listen to the tracks before you cop and opinion

God damn, I learned wit’ the rhymes
That you only get better after serving ya time
With that said, I have room to improve
My mind on the money in a room full of dudes

and they’re all counting on me
what if I dont make it man will they be bouncing on me? I can’t take it damn
What do I want? I can’t even remember
I’m thinking ‘bout June and it’s not even December

A Summer with my teams the only thing on my agenda
Gotta change my lifestyle and focus on the right now
Cause I really want to look back next year
and say that last year was my best year, aw yeah

Break:
(Pressure x3)

Verse 2:
Yo look, I dont even know what real no more
Man I can’t even express how I feel no more
My Dad went blind and there’s still no cure
But he made me the victim when he gave me his vision

And you people wonder why I’m insanely ambitious
That’s why I make a difference every time I approach a track
I try to close the gap and rap
I know my heart imploded the moment that he was diagnosed in fact

I use my voice on the mic
As a way to fill that void in my life
A little boy made a choice was it right? I’ll never know
I really hope my destiny is not set and stone

I’m the eyes of my team, am I in a facade?
The wrong turn will be the end of Azad
If I fail my dude I’m fine
Ive had enough pain to last two life times

Outro:
(You can’t phase me x 3)
(Pressure x 3)

Oh No (Clean) Lyrics

OH NO

Oh no, Oh no, look who just stepped through the door
The whole 3 1 0
And you know we 'bout to blow
Taking over the game (over the game)
Hear them screaming my name (screaming my name)
Ain't no stopping us, ain't no stopping us
Ain't no stopping us, ain't no stopping us

[Verse 1: Azad Right]
Look
OK now we in the building, check the front door
Unless you got a million just know we want more
Everybody feeling him he didn't conform
You're better here to listenin in case you're unsure

Let me go back to my roots, I still rap like a passionate dude
I just say what I actually do, and what I do got factual proof
Flow hard, they soft, y'all B flat, A-sharp
Spaceship, take off, and you get taxed, Madoff

Show you how I got this buzz, no contest I'm popular
I know dudes that had no problem pulling that tool they pop you up, but
Not me, I got that feel in my rhymes
And I wanna send chills down your spine
It's my time

[Hook: EQ]

[Verse 2: Azad Right]
Your girl says I'm a tool cause I get a lot of throat
I screw her, I nut, then you know I gotta bolt, shit
People think I'm arrogant, pardon me I'm very bent
They say I look Arabic so where the fuck my chariot?

If you riding with me then you better ball hard
I trust all my squad, no Reservoir Dogs
Ah, I sin, don't tell Christ
But I ghost write for a low sell price
I grind on nights that don't feel right
I shine like motel lights

Can't no one hold me back, bag(back) it up you know I wrap(rap)
Paper check, plastic check
Write you a song, go pass me the check

Look, all I need is time
Stop the war, give me peace(piece) of mind(mine)
You might not see my grind, but just wait till I reach my prime

[Hook: EQ]

[Verse 3: Azad Right]
AZ baby they say I'm jaded, but I'm faded you can't faze me
Just broke up with my lady so lately my game been crazy

What it do shorty, tell me what it look like?
I can turn your bad day into a good night
It's all on me don't fall asleep I split you like dichotomy
Then flip you up and down like the US economy

I'm getting low on ink, I'm so high that I can't think
'fore I take another drink I wash my face up in the sink

No I don't need the fame, I know I'm real to the bone
I really breathe the game
I guess that means I'm the heir to the throne

Who gon' stop us now?
Boy you better watch your mouth
The haters love us
We're the only thing they talk about

Crashing Down (Clean) Lyrics

Crashing Down
[Verse 1]
My life move faster now
We gon' make it happen now
Man, I don't even have a doubt
This is all after it came crashing down

Can't forget when me and O ain't even have shit
Had to pay to play a show, homie that was tragic
But we stayed on the grind all the time
Made somethin' out of nothin', that's what I call magic

I was dead broke, ain't a damn thing funny
So damn hungry no food in my tummy
Couldn't see the light even when the shit sunny
Back when I was askin' Grandma for that money

I was too ashamed to go tell my Mom
That I lost all the dough that she gave me
If she found out that I gambled that shit
Man I don't even know what'd she say to me... I came

[Hook]
Crashin', crashin', crashin' down
X8

[Verse 2]
My situation was gettin' so bad
To the point where you couldn't even get me to laugh
I was more focused on what I didn't have
Than what I did have, so I had get back

My fire, my desire for a better life
No lies, I'ma try 'til I get it right
Staying up all night, making sure I don't sleep 'til ya'll wakin' up, alright...

I don't know a mutha fucka out there
Who be workin' as hard as a brother out here
I don't know why a dude like you
Always puttin' me down, when I be in yo town

You can't tell me you don't feel what I be sayin'
I thought you'd be happier that one of us made it
We in the same game, so we fuckin' related
When I bleed, you bleed, man cut all the hatred...

Cause I won't stop 'til we winnin'
'Til we on top and my whole team fitted
'Til we all drive drops, no bummy ass civics
Told those critics, one day we' gon' get it

How you gon' front? Shit, how you gon' doubt me
When you don't really know nothin' about me
You sound dumb, but you really want clown me
'Til you find out about the buzz that surrounds me

Now you wanna chill, and now you wanna talk
Now you wanna build and now you wanna call
Me and tryn' get involved, but I'm way too gone
You had your chance, why'd you wait so long?

Ah, I don't wanna blame you though
But you the same dude that tried to change me though
Look, I told ya'll from the muhfuckin' jump
All the dollars in the world couldn't change my flows…

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
19 started off as an intern
This game insane, I been learned
Everybody gon' fuck you
But when you get hot everybody gon' love you

Everybody try to hug you
When you hit that stage, everybody want touch you
I don't trust you, I know too much
That's why I never let 'em get close to us

Now I see the snakes in the grass
I learned a whole lot from mistakes in my past
Do what you love in this life
Don't be like everybody that's chasing the cash

That's how you end up in the bed with the wrong one
You might win for a little but you lose in the long run
Better save those chips once when you make that hit, then you gone son

Not me, I'm tryn' have a career like Jay-Z
So that means I'll stay when they leave
You lames won't play me
My songs is so GOOD that 'Ye should pay me

Me, all the shit I've been through
All the shit I've done and all the shit I'm into
Made me what I am today
I fell down and got up, you ran away

I looked failure in eyes and I didn't blink
Had a flood on my boat but I didn't sink
While everyone round town told me get a plan B
I just followed my dreams man, I didn't think

Cause I knew that I'd get there one day
No turning back, I ain't taking no lunch breaks
Man, I gotta make ends meat some way
Man, I gotta make ends meat some way

[Hook]

Old Friend Lyrics

Old Friend
[Verse 1]
I got a call that shit hurt my soul
You of all people shoulda known, that shit personal
Dog you let a snake come between us, how's a ho gon defeat us?
When I heard you took our songs down, I couldn't believe it

We put our life in that shit, you ain't right for that shit
Man my music is my heart, you put a knife in that shit
I hope you never feel this typa pain, for real
I hope you never feel this way, this shit surreal

They fuck you in this game and try to keep it under covers
But your mom is like my mom, your brothers like my brother
You turned on me for nothing, imagine if we made real money
Now that'd be real funny

I'm hearing that you shit on my career and character
But I don't feed into the games, that'd only embarrass us
Couple years from now, I hope we laugh and just cherish it
Drinking wine, eating Duck Confit up in Paris wit... all my old friends

[Hook ]
Old Friend, old friend
Best friends become strangers
X2

A thug changes, and love changes
And best friends become strangers
Old friend, old friend
Best friends

[Verse 2]
My brother, we ain't talked in so long
I never thought that you'd be gone for so long
I hear the rumors and they hard to believe
Cause the artist I wanna be is gon be hard to achieve

Without you in my corner, but I got faith in myself
Did you ever believe or was I playing myself
Time heals all, I'll just write more songs
It happens to everyone, I guess life goes on

My ace and my mentor, treated you like my kinfolk
Metronome to my piano, we shoulda slowed up the tempo
So we could've enjoyed the journey more, but look at our progress
Successful or not, the best part of it all was the process

It kills me a little just knowing that you gave up on me
But no matter what happens with music, I hope you stay up homie
Always do what's best for yourself, put in that work for your family
Cause at the end of the day, all bullshit aside, you deserve to be happy

[Hook]

Alone (Clean) Lyrics

Alone

Verse 1:
It's so odd, I can't get a job, I can't get a call
Maxed out credit cards, over draft on my debit card
Damn, man, what to do?
Mom keep saying that it's up to you
She's the reason I was stuck in school
Now I feel like a fuckin' fool

Cause what I wanna do don't need a degree
What I wanna do comes easy to me
But it's so hard to get paid for this shit
I love knowing that I'm never safe in this bitch

On my toes, I'm chasing the hits
And it makes my day when they say that I'm sick
But don't do me no favors, hater
Fuel my fire 'til I make it major

I know that my time gon' come
AnR's say I gotta find that one
Song, that'll blow me up
But I've heard that so much, I've gone numb

You can't spit a flow if I wrote you that shit
So gimme my dough like you owe me that shit
And why you keep tellin' me to lose my producers
These dudes make the music I move to

Look, how you gon' say that we're not on fire?
How you gon' say I'm not an iLL songwriter?
They write hits, I write emotions
You don't like this, better get to rollin'

Stop tryn' Lupe me
I'll tell you right now that it's too late b
And please don't bring up any other rapper
I'll tell you once more these dudes ain't me, AZ

[Hook]
After everything
That I've done
They don't see
I'm still alone

I'm out here tryin' to make a livin'
Doin' something different but it doesn't even matter

A part of me
Wants to let it go
But can't you see
It's all I know

I'm out here tryin' to make a livin'
Doin' something different but it doesn't even matter

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I don't wanna kick raps
Sometimes I wanna kick back
With my feet up, lay back and chill
In the way back of the maybach for real

Wishing, I'm dreaming for a reason
I've convinced myself that if I keep believin' then eventually I'll be it

But who got my back? I know I do
I keep telling myself they gon' find you
Lifes a bitch, I'm Nas in 92
Street poet but I ain't Crip or Piru

Don't think that I'm soft dog
The shit that I say from my heart dog
I'm on one, but I'm off ya'll
And they say every rappers a lost cause, so

Let me get straight to it
I just make music
It ain’t got no color or genre
So, I guess you can call it Obama

Still, when I'm rappin' I happen to see
Even my family ain't happy for me
I'm mad at my friends, the ones who said that they had my back 'til the end

But they don't pick up my calls
Convenient homies, I don't even need you phonies
Ok then, get lost
You're bitchmade, I'm pissed off

Cause I give and you take
'Til I ain't got shit left to take
So I think, that you fake
And I ain't got shit left to say

Full Circle (Clean) Lyrics

Full Circle

[Intro: THURZ]
THURZ every day of the week
'til that throne is my seat
I still remain the name
What's your word and your name?

[Verse 1: THURZ]
Work, if you can bet it, don't have property of your own
And if that was the case, then any city is my zone
Bet, double it up, I got land I can loan
Nah, fuck it, I give you the world in every one of the verse off

First, off top, they ain't cold wit' a slight cough
Bent off the truth, they hail mary's is picked off
Better pray for real and kneel I can't chill
Only aims to be a God, ya'll can keep them blue pills

Reality is, my dreams is right where my sanity is
I'm in the sky outta my brain
They used to hear about me, now they really know my name
Easy to point me out when everything just sounds the same

This designer music what I'm preaching to you lames
Cut from my fabric and stained with my veins
And mami wanna talk about it's different now, she wrote her vows
They used to like me then but shit they really fuckin' love me now

[Break: Azad Right]
They liked me back then but they lovin' me now
Aw yeah, they fuck wit' me now
Said they liked me back then but they lovin' me now
Aw yeah, they fuck wit' me now

[Verse 2: Azad Right]
I feel the stars aligning, took 13 years but I made it
Found my higher calling, my peers blew up as I waited
Made a promise that when my moments here, I'll be ready for greatness
And the moment that they catch on, I'll be ready to change it up

Love when shit comes full circle, new beginnings make new endings
Truth spilling outta my veins, I'm leaving you lames all loose winded
I'm Bruce Willis, can't break me when the chips fall down, homie who's bending?
Not me, I'm breathing new life in the game as I hook up these IVs

My passion, hereditary, influenced by the legendary
All my verses soulful, for the hopeful is my cemetery
Sometimes I feel broken, cause I feel like it's too late
Sometimes I lose focus but I never seem to lose faith

My father always told me no comprising your vision
You're a citizen of the world, so harmonize with the system
Show respect to all religions whether you Muslim, Jewish or Christian
Or other, I swear I love you and I don't look at you any different but i believe in me…
I believe in me
I believe in me

Diamond In The Rough (Clean) Lyrics

Diamond In The Rough

Intro:
Can you feel me, I’m climbin’ and I’m stuck
Discovered with my brothers by some miners in cut
I know the potential at my shining is enough
You have to stay tuned i’m a diamond in the rough

Verse 1:
Copy cats, poppin’ back, chill with the mockery
You’re mad cause all your property is obviously obsolete
I got a hot release, ain’t nobody stoppin me
I’ll fuck the game right until she practicing monogamy

They keep sayin’, why you rappin’ so provocative?
That’s what you have to do when you’re establishing a following
Man, I’m naturally catchy, they be askin why I’m happy
and I tell ‘em that I’ve always been an optimist

But in retrospect, I’m probably a victim
I made it without all the optimal conditions
I had the vision, never trippin’ over obstacles
so imitating me is an impossible rendition

Dudes say they killin me, ladies say they be feeling me
Maybe it’s time for haters to notice my capabilities
Wait, I’m not sayin I’m the one
I’m sayin, don’t count me out when the shit ain’t even begun

Chorus:
I’m rough like a diamond, when I’m grindin
Yeah, I’m a gem, don’t you see me shinin?
I’ma cut above all the rest
Try me on and you’ll see why I’m the best (x2)

Im a diamond (x3)
Yeah

Verse 2:
Look look, I don’t choke when it’s game time
I’m avoiding all the landmines
And my eyes stay low but I aim high
Slippin liquid courage til’ a muhfucka can’t drive, damn I’m

Heatin up you see the tan lines
Bitches blowing up my phone I had to disconnect the landline
I flow fire like hydro
I know, I can outshine you with my eyes closed

Labels on me so I need to be evasive
Why should I go chase ‘em? I can easily replace ‘em
You’re jealous cause you see me in a spaceship
I’m about to change the game then leave you with a face lift, I got the tools

I get ‘em, I got ‘em they split when I spot em
The unsigned prince, making hits from the bottom
The fluid that i’m sippin, got me slippin’ and slidin’
I’m going over heads like a tip of a condom

Chorus

Verse 3:
Get familiar, AZ, Jon B and P.O.
Live from the land of the palm trees and weed smoke
We’re not the type of dudes that palm heat and reload
We the type to smoke bomb trees by the kilo

Damm, they say that we hot, yeah we know
They asked me how i’m doin, shit I had to say G-O
O-D I’m lowkey, pilin’ up them c-notes
You know me, wit’ 4 freaks, and all them hoes deepthroat

The same people used to give your boy the run around
The same people said my flow was too underground
Same people that was tellin me to dumb it down
Now be at my shows in the crowd like some fucking clowns

They ask me where the fuck you been
You dropped the EP, what you been up to since?
I’ve been waiting in the wings, closing up my holes
And if patience is the key then I’m opening the doors

(Chorus)

Good Lyrics

Good
[Verse 1: Azad Right]
I like to cool out in the Telly on some suite shit
Sippin' white wine but I ain't on that sweet shit
I got a sweet tooth for good vagina
Pretty mama sit on my face the moment that we shook Katana

I'm a dog and your kitty got me fiending
Curious as fuck I'm tryna find the hidden meaning
Of life between your legs, the Bermuda Triangle
No wonder dudes be getting lost, man they can't afford the cost

But I can, I'm obsessed with the way that you smell
Is that Chanel, god damn there's no way I can tell
It could easily just be your natural body odor
You ride clean babi, shout out that Ferrari motor you be pushin'

Yeah, you built yourself a great life
Carving out dudes hearts with that steak knife
I guess you wasn't satisfied with just a free dinner
I'm still tryna figure who's the sinner, me or you?

[Hook: Azizi Gibson]
I'ma have you think of me
When you with yo friends, I can't get out your mind
I'm intertwined with your damn behind
Girl, come on now

I love it when you tell me that it's good
Oooooo, so tell me that it's good
I love it cause you treat me like you should
Ooooo, so treat me like you fuckin' should

[Verse 2: Azizi Gibson]
Now, through these eyes of mine, I can tell that you a dime
So bring that booty on through, cause it's fuckin' time
I'm gon' handle this, them hoes gon' say you scandalous
But don't you even trip, they lucky just to touch my dick

From yo hips to yo lips, don't forget the tits
And erything else finna get a kiss
They say "you so sexy, aw you see them lips?"
They say "you so sexy, I'm finna have them kids"

But that'll make me pull up out the pussy quick
Cause settlin' down is not on my agenda miss
I just need some legs that I can love and kiss
And when I beat it up, I get experience

Like gotta catch 'em all, here a poke ball
You thought your shit was great, but I got Master Balls
I'ma get it first and maybe hand her off
My bad Azad, I think I fucked up the song

[Hook]

I feel like the Son of Sam and it's '74
Shooting craps down by the Bodega store
I got a Spanish mami that's my new mi amore
I always, feel the love when I'm down in New York

[Verse 1]
This feels like New York in the Summer time, where kids grind for the money signs
Mothers cryin, kids run inside then a hundred rounds go brat brat brat
Spanish bitch wanna taste your neck, teasing you just to make you sweat
When you passed out, she might take your check
Didn't break a sweat, she a patient vet

Hustlers all on the street corner, sweaty palms with the piece on 'em
Dreams of copping that Big Body with navigation and seat warmers
This don't belong on no postal card, ballers chill at the local park
Sipping on blue Gatorade politicking bout new local art

Cars driving by, way too fast, swerving through traffic like someone is dying
Seem like people be way too mad
It's thick in the air, take a smell of the violence
Clouding a city that's never been silent
Where everyone's grinding
For a chance to be timeless, it's all for the shining
And no I don't need to remind ya

[Hook x2]

[Verse 2]
No disrespect to the culture in your neck of the woods
But Timbs and sweats is something that I never understood
When I first landed, but I saw that shit first handed
Muhfuckas is dead serious

Fuck getting lost, boy you can get got here
It seems like everyone rapping, how the hell you get hot here
Man, shit is not realistic, no wonder they all can spit sick
And I thought I was gifted, pass the blunt let me get lifted

Past the fact that I'm competing with cats
Twice my talent, half my age, fuck a challenge, this career suicide
Unless I balance it out by working harder and smarter
Plan ahead think farther, strap up don't be a father

No accidents, not if you want the chance to leave these fans convinced
Fickle as fuck and they ain't giving two fucks
This the Mecca, the birthplace of hip hop
Where the best rappers better than you on they worst day, I kid not

[Hook x2]

[Bridge]
I feel the city lighten' up for me
X8

Oh No Lyrics

OH NO

Oh no, Oh no, look who just stepped through the door
The whole 3 1 0
And you know we 'bout to blow
Taking over the game (over the game)
Hear them screaming my name (screaming my name)
Ain't no stopping us, ain't no stopping us
Ain't no stopping us, ain't no stopping us

[Verse 1: Azad Right]
Look
OK now we in the building, check the front door
Unless you got a million just know we want more
Everybody feeling him he didn't conform
You're better here to listenin in case you're unsure

Let me go back to my roots, I still rap like a passionate dude
I just say what I actually do, and what I do got factual proof
Flow hard, they soft, y'all B flat, A-sharp
Spaceship, take off, and you get taxed, Madoff

Show you how I got this buzz, no contest I'm popular
I know dudes that had no problem pulling that tool they pop you up, but
Not me, I got that feel in my rhymes
And I wanna send chills down your spine
It's my time

[Hook: EQ]

[Verse 2: Azad Right]
Your girl says I'm a tool cause I get a lot of throat
I screw her, I nut, then you know I gotta bolt, shit
People think I'm arrogant, pardon me I'm very bent
They say I look Arabic so where the fuck my chariot?

If you riding with me then you better ball hard
I trust all my squad, no Reservoir Dogs
Ah, I sin, don't tell Christ
But I ghost write for a low sell price
I grind on nights that don't feel right
I shine like motel lights

Can't no one hold me back, bag(back) it up you know I wrap(rap)
Paper check, plastic check
Write you a song, go pass me the check

Look, all I need is time
Stop the war, give me peace(piece) of mind(mine)
You might not see my grind, but just wait till I reach my prime

[Hook: EQ]

[Verse 3: Azad Right]
AZ baby they say I'm jaded, but I'm faded you can't faze me
Just broke up with my lady so lately my game been crazy

What it do shorty, tell me what it look like?
I can turn your bad day into a good night
It's all on me don't fall asleep I split you like dichotomy
Then flip you up and down like the US economy

I'm getting low on ink, I'm so high that I can't think
'fore I take another drink I wash my face up in the sink

No I don't need the fame, I know I'm real to the bone
I really breathe the game
I guess that means I'm the heir to the throne

Who gon' stop us now?
Boy you better watch your mouth
The haters love us
We're the only thing they talk about

Diesel (Clean) Lyrics

Diesel

Verse 1:
Groovin', I'm vibin
Cruisin, yeah I'm ridin
Through my city, betta get your hands high and
Keep your head bobbin', homie I'm a problem

I'mma really be there for the people that support me
Still come around and smoke diesel with the homies
Yeah, I'll still get it in the club
Except this time, we'll sippin' on bub, uh

When I said I'd make it, they all trusted me
They was patient, now we living lovely
Gettin' wasted, I'm so gone
But I'm with the homies, I ain't on my own

About to hit the beach, in the heat
With my team in the streets, gettin' briefs
And we running game like we back in '08
The only difference is that our money so straight, AZ, what up

2 -
My girl said I don't see her no more
She be saying bullshit like I don't need her no more
When she know that ain't true but it get on my nerves
So I, had to go and put that shit in a verse

Tripping out cause I got a little money
But I told you I'll still be around
I'm the same kid from high school that was funny
And I still keep it oh so real for my town

Yeah I'm in the game, but I don't do blow
And nah I never change, homie I just grow
Ya'll stay the same, that's why you broke
Me getting paid, should provide you hope but it don't

And shit, I don't get it
They try to bring me down, but I won't give in
You should be proud of what I've done, I succeeded
Look at how far I've come by believing, yeah

Crashing Down Lyrics

Crashing Down
[Verse 1]
My life move faster now
We gon' make it happen now
Man, I don't even have a doubt
This is all after it came crashing down

Can't forget when me and O ain't even have shit
Had to pay to play a show, homie that was tragic
But we stayed on the grind all the time
Made somethin' out of nothin', that's what I call magic

I was dead broke, ain't a damn thing funny
So damn hungry no food in my tummy
Couldn't see the light even when the shit sunny
Back when I was askin' Grandma for that money

I was too ashamed to go tell my Mom
That I lost all the dough that she gave me
If she found out that I gambled that shit
Man I don't even know what'd she say to me... I came

[Hook]
Crashin', crashin', crashin' down
X8

[Verse 2]
My situation was gettin' so bad
To the point where you couldn't even get me to laugh
I was more focused on what I didn't have
Than what I did have, so I had get back

My fire, my desire for a better life
No lies, I'ma try 'til I get it right
Staying up all night, making sure I don't sleep 'til ya'll wakin' up, alright...

I don't know a mutha fucka out there
Who be workin' as hard as a brother out here
I don't know why a dude like you
Always puttin' me down, when I be in yo town

You can't tell me you don't feel what I be sayin'
I thought you'd be happier that one of us made it
We in the same game, so we fuckin' related
When I bleed, you bleed, man cut all the hatred...

Cause I won't stop 'til we winnin'
'Til we on top and my whole team fitted
'Til we all drive drops, no bummy ass civics
Told those critics, one day we' gon' get it

How you gon' front? Shit, how you gon' doubt me
When you don't really know nothin' about me
You sound dumb, but you really want clown me
'Til you find out about the buzz that surrounds me

Now you wanna chill, and now you wanna talk
Now you wanna build and now you wanna call
Me and tryn' get involved, but I'm way too gone
You had your chance, why'd you wait so long?

Ah, I don't wanna blame you though
But you the same dude that tried to change me though
Look, I told ya'll from the muhfuckin' jump
All the dollars in the world couldn't change my flows…

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
19 started off as an intern
This game insane, I been learned
Everybody gon' fuck you
But when you get hot everybody gon' love you

Everybody try to hug you
When you hit that stage, everybody want touch you
I don't trust you, I know too much
That's why I never let 'em get close to us

Now I see the snakes in the grass
I learned a whole lot from mistakes in my past
Do what you love in this life
Don't be like everybody that's chasing the cash

That's how you end up in the bed with the wrong one
You might win for a little but you lose in the long run
Better save those chips once when you make that hit, then you gone son

Not me, I'm tryn' have a career like Jay-Z
So that means I'll stay when they leave
You lames won't play me
My songs is so GOOD that 'Ye should pay me

Me, all the shit I've been through
All the shit I've done and all the shit I'm into
Made me what I am today
I fell down and got up, you ran away

I looked failure in eyes and I didn't blink
Had a flood on my boat but I didn't sink
While everyone round town told me get a plan B
I just followed my dreams man, I didn't think

Cause I knew that I'd get there one day
No turning back, I ain't taking no lunch breaks
Man, I gotta make ends meat some way
Man, I gotta make ends meat some way

[Hook]

Diamond In The Rough Lyrics

Diamond In The Rough

Intro:
Can you feel me, I’m climbin’ and I’m stuck
Discovered with my brothers by some miners in cut
I know the potential at my shining is enough
You have to stay tuned i’m a diamond in the rough

Verse 1:
Copy cats, poppin’ back, chill with the mockery
You’re mad cause all your property is obviously obsolete
I got a hot release, ain’t nobody stoppin me
I’ll fuck the game right until she practicing monogamy

They keep sayin’, why you rappin’ so provocative?
That’s what you have to do when you’re establishing a following
Man, I’m naturally catchy, they be askin why I’m happy
and I tell ‘em that I’ve always been an optimist

But in retrospect, I’m probably a victim
I made it without all the optimal conditions
I had the vision, never trippin’ over obstacles
so imitating me is an impossible rendition

Dudes say they killin me, ladies say they be feeling me
Maybe it’s time for haters to notice my capabilities
Wait, I’m not sayin I’m the one
I’m sayin, don’t count me out when the shit ain’t even begun

Chorus:
I’m rough like a diamond, when I’m grindin
Yeah, I’m a gem, don’t you see me shinin?
I’ma cut above all the rest
Try me on and you’ll see why I’m the best (x2)

Im a diamond (x3)
Yeah

Verse 2:
Look look, I don’t choke when it’s game time
I’m avoiding all the landmines
And my eyes stay low but I aim high
Slippin liquid courage til’ a muhfucka can’t drive, damn I’m

Heatin up you see the tan lines
Bitches blowing up my phone I had to disconnect the landline
I flow fire like hydro
I know, I can outshine you with my eyes closed

Labels on me so I need to be evasive
Why should I go chase ‘em? I can easily replace ‘em
You’re jealous cause you see me in a spaceship
I’m about to change the game then leave you with a face lift, I got the tools

I get ‘em, I got ‘em they split when I spot em
The unsigned prince, making hits from the bottom
The fluid that i’m sippin, got me slippin’ and slidin’
I’m going over heads like a tip of a condom

Chorus

Verse 3:
Get familiar, AZ, Jon B and P.O.
Live from the land of the palm trees and weed smoke
We’re not the type of dudes that palm heat and reload
We the type to smoke bomb trees by the kilo

Damm, they say that we hot, yeah we know
They asked me how i’m doin, shit I had to say G-O
O-D I’m lowkey, pilin’ up them c-notes
You know me, wit’ 4 freaks, and all them hoes deepthroat

The same people used to give your boy the run around
The same people said my flow was too underground
Same people that was tellin me to dumb it down
Now be at my shows in the crowd like some fucking clowns

They ask me where the fuck you been
You dropped the EP, what you been up to since?
I’ve been waiting in the wings, closing up my holes
And if patience is the key then I’m opening the doors

(Chorus)

Hoop Dreams Lyrics

Hoop Dreams
[Verse 1: Azad Right]
First love was basketball, joined the team round third grade
I was too young for the, sign ups so we, lied about my birthday
But I still balled, short kid so to me everybody real tall
Coming off the bench, I was like the tenth man but I still got steals dog
I stuck with it, my game kinda sucked
But I worked hard as fuck so they fucked with it
The young homie, I was always on call
Like hit me when you tryna get them runs homie

The first to the park but the last to get picked
The story of my life, ain't that some shit
I ain't got no height, I ain't no bounce
And I can't shoot the three? Ain't that a bitch

Man, I hated training, fuck the weight room shit, I stayed complaining
I never saw results so I stayed impatient
I quit playing ball man, I lost myself for a while, gotta thank the
Amazing grace of

The Hip-Hop Gods for converting me over to the dark side
It split me and my crew down the middle like Apartheid so you know I had to let the song cry
I guess we found out where my heart lies huh
You can still see where the scars lie bruh

Look, 5'10 with the soul of a 6'6 cat with a 7 ft wingspan
I still got game like an 06 Kobe, I don' need no muhfucking wingman
The mic is my ball and the stage is my court
And LA is my home, I'm the Kingpin, homie

The king with the pen, get it? Don't forget it
When I'm spitting, never timid, man I made it outta Venice
Traveling the world, still committed to my city
And the windows never tinted, see everybody wit' me

King with the pen, double cup of Henny
And the Lakers are my team so the out of towners envy
No matter where we are, still committed to the city
And everybody wit me screaming...

[Hook: Azad Right]
I still got hoop dreams (Hoop… Dreams)
X4

King with the pen, get it, don't forget it
When I'm spitting, never timid, man I made it outta Venice
Traveling the world, still committed to the city
And the windows never tinted, see everybody wit' me

King with the pen, double cup of Henny
And the Lakers are my team, so the outta towners envy
No matter where we are, still committed to the city
And everybody wit me screaming…

[Verse 2: AHE]

[Hook]

Stained Lyrics

Stained

Verse 1:
4-5 till I die, got my team here
And we on the prowl club hoppers better beware
Drinking out the fucking bottle till we can’t see clear
Condoms in our pockets just so we can say we're prepared

David Dann spinning got my world upside down
2 hours later, got your girl upside down
What’d I tell you about tempting me
Man you better think twice before you mention me

[Chorus]
I need not explain the pain that’s in me
I’m not the type to complain but my veins are blue
I haven’t been to vent, to vent, in a minute
Cause my memory’s been stained, been stained by you

Verse 2:
Ah, A-Z, liquor sipping, slipping a fucking tripping
Got a half british broad and she puffing on something wicked
Recently I been cutting a bunch of bitches
Trying to get over my ex, I’m looking something different

Nymphos, white broads and they bring their kin folk
The tempo was quite hard, fogging up the windows
I’m at the edge, don’t push me, I might fall
When she gets wet enough I dive in like a lifeguard

Temptation I’m chasing a better high
Never cheated on my ex and fuck it I never lied
So why I can’t get my mind off her
Man I can’t accept the sad fact that I’ve lost her, shit

I don’t try to hide so you gotta show me love
I could easily be overdosing on a load of drugs
But instead I’m at the club getting over you
Never looking back, time to get up in the lac cause

Verse 3:
A-z, I’m still having flash backs of New York
How would you feel if every single that you thought
Would have gone right, went wrong
Now your crew’s gone and you all alone, but you know you gotta move on

Surrounded by fake people that don’t know you
You gotta keep acting like it’s all cool
And even when you ain’t got no money
You gotta keep fronting like you ball too

The ones who understand me in another city
But I’m doing this for us, I hope they don’t forget me
So I keep on drinking everything these fuckers send me
I’m running through these cigs like a fucking chimney

I’m folding to the pressure of the game quick
I can’t hold my own now, imagine if I make it
High as fuck and I ain’t really trying to over think
So I tip the waiter and I pour myself another drink

[Chorus]

Good (Clean) Lyrics

Good
[Verse 1: Azad Right]
I like to cool out in the Telly on some suite shit
Sippin' white wine but I ain't on that sweet shit
I got a sweet tooth for good vagina
Pretty mama sit on my face the moment that we shook Katana

I'm a dog and your kitty got me fiending
Curious as fuck I'm tryna find the hidden meaning
Of life between your legs, the Bermuda Triangle
No wonder dudes be getting lost, man they can't afford the cost

But I can, I'm obsessed with the way that you smell
Is that Chanel, god damn there's no way I can tell
It could easily just be your natural body odor
You ride clean babi, shout out that Ferrari motor you be pushin'

Yeah, you built yourself a great life
Carving out dudes hearts with that steak knife
I guess you wasn't satisfied with just a free dinner
I'm still tryna figure who's the sinner, me or you?

[Hook: Azizi Gibson]
I'ma have you think of me
When you with yo friends, I can't get out your mind
I'm intertwined with your damn behind
Girl, come on now

I love it when you tell me that it's good
Oooooo, so tell me that it's good
I love it cause you treat me like you should
Ooooo, so treat me like you fuckin' should

[Verse 2: Azizi Gibson]
Now, through these eyes of mine, I can tell that you a dime
So bring that booty on through, cause it's fuckin' time
I'm gon' handle this, them hoes gon' say you scandalous
But don't you even trip, they lucky just to touch my dick

From yo hips to yo lips, don't forget the tits
And erything else finna get a kiss
They say "you so sexy, aw you see them lips?"
They say "you so sexy, I'm finna have them kids"

But that'll make me pull up out the pussy quick
Cause settlin' down is not on my agenda miss
I just need some legs that I can love and kiss
And when I beat it up, I get experience

Like gotta catch 'em all, here a poke ball
You thought your shit was great, but I got Master Balls
I'ma get it first and maybe hand her off
My bad Azad, I think I fucked up the song

[Hook]

Caught In A Dream (Clean) Lyrics

Caught in a dream
Verse 1:
Caught in a dream, I’m lost in the scene
Should I swallow my pride? man, I’m caught in between
Not sure if I want the quiet life
But I won’t know till I try the lights

All my close friends sayin’ don’t stare it’ll hurt
So I put on my shades and prepare for the worst
Give me one dance with the groupies
I’m sorry in advance if you lose me, AZ

Chorus:
I’m livin in the moment
The past and the future doesn’t matter to me
Shouldve listened to the warnings
This life that I chose got me caught in a dream

(Ohhh)
I said this life that I chose got me caught in a dream x2

Verse 2:
I’m not happy with myself unless I’m being productive
You might think it’s a curse but I mother fucking love it
So I keep working around the clock
Til I think I’m ready then I’m really serving up the block

Don’t assume I’m nervous in my verses cause I’m not
I’m just trying to get it perfect then that courage is gonna drop
Until then let me live I’m just doing me
Say what you want, you’ll never get through to me

If I’m going to fail it needs to happen on it’s own
But you can bet your bottom dollar I’m gonna give it all I got
I’m still getting better so I know I got a chance
And I wont stop until I’m spittin like I’m Pac

I finally embraced my revolutionary bloodline
I no longer get chills off a punchline
Exiled before birth so I yearn for acceptance
But I still strive for perfection

Verse 3:
I’m gonna dedicate my life to pushing the culture forward
Hip-Hop saved me so it’s something that I owe it
I’m not tryna to be a stoic, I’m not tryna be heroic
I’m tryna spread light on something you barely noticed

He was caught in a dream, it turned into a coma
Gettin’ lost in the green, I think it could be over
Shit is not what it seems, we gotta get you sober
First you wanted a car, it turned into a Rover

Get your mind right the lime light is givin you seasures
Your song on the radios a mild fever
Don’t get amnesia, all them people weren’t believers when you first started
Man you couldn’t have got a worse bargain

You traded in your fam for some fairweather fans
Stop followin’ that major labels plan
Dont lose sight of why you fell in love with music
You talked a big game it’s time to prove it, AZ

Showtime (Clean) Lyrics

Showtime

Verse 1:
You can hear it in my slang, I be west coasting
With a hustle like Russell, I’m a def poet
My dude said I should consider being less open
Rap about how I be leavin’ bitches necks broken
They looking at me when they with they man
Cause this time next summer, I’ll be in demand
Damn, so I don’t worry bout a motherfucker talking
Cause they do it so motherfucking often

Look what I’ve accomplished on my own from the closet in my home
Jon smoked me out, now I’m copping him a zone
Cause he likes to get high in our down time
And as long as the beats hot, that sounds fine

Keep grinding cause I really got something to prove, and
I keep smiling cause I really do love what I’m doing
I keep wildin’ cause their really ain’t nothing I’m losing
I’m too disciplined to ever slip up in the music

All the things that I used to be embarrassed ‘bout
Are coincidentally all the things that I cherish now
I used to think that I was wack cause I wasn't black
So I started blackin' out on every fuckin' track

I told them ‘bout my past and my struggle with the cash
I was pathetic when I used to hustle with the grass
Chasing dreams, in my 92 Pathfinder
Good heart with the mouth of a badass rhymer

I ain’t your typical, rapper, I’m lyrical
Far too critical, so analytical
I’m a perfectionist, funny thing is
I’m still tryna figure out what perfection is

I never settle like a fellow from the ghetto
Who ain’t slept in days, it’s a desperate game
We was raised watching Jay so
Youngins stay gunning, bringing fame to their names for a hand full of change..

Break:
What a god damn shame, what a god damn shame
What a god damn shame, what a god damn shame

You ain’t heard shit yet, look

Verse 2:
Fuck all these cliché new rappers tryna act
Like they too good to dumb it down
If you really had a chance to blow with the money cars and hoes
You would never wanna stay underground

So stop saying that you’re too pure for the game
You swear you’re different, but your flows never change and that’s lame kid
Be yourself bruh
Don’t rap the same shit that everybody else does
Cause everybody else sucks

Close the curtains man I’m planning on killing them all
This for my blue collared workers that chill in the mall
This for my ambitious dudes that still tryna ball
I know the truth about the game, I’m revealing it all

They don’t wanna see us shine, so they holding us back
But you just gotta grind, don’t focus on that
That’s why each and every time I flow on the track
I spit the facts and, ain’t nothing colder than that

Fake it till you make it, is the motto, ok
So they sipping Andre like it’s Rose
Suckas, bullshit is what you full of
And I’m bout to raise the bar, tell me can you do a pull up?

I do it cause I love it, but I also wanna make a living
I ain’t stubborn, I wanna get my music to the public
The masses, but I’m smart enough to not rush
Look, watch me attack in the right fashion

Pay attention please, every single sentence bleeds
All over the beat, there’s no doubt they going to remember me
You thought you were the one before they mentioned me
I killed those thoughts, you’re having suicidal tendencies

There's no survivin' on this island
If you're tryna go mining for a diamond
Don't deny it, I don't mind
But the moment that you even think of lyin' to a lion
Is the same exact moment you'll be dyin', showtime

You Are Appreciated Lyrics

You Are Appreciated

Verse 1:
We used to ball out from like 10 to 6
I wasn't good but I was a relentless kid
When I ain't make the team back in ninth grade
I hit the mall with my boys and got some nice J's

Me and Live got down and got back in the gym
Damn, I'm glad I had passionate friends
You can hate but you can't knock our work ethic
We came a long way since my first record

I would kick raps every single school day
Lunch time posted up with the same crew
We all hit the open mic on Tuesdays
And I made sure the girls always came through

Hot Cheetos and some green tea
Red fingers every time that you see me
With a fresh line up, white Pro Club
And I miss being young, now we grown up

Hook:
I'm so thankful for the times we had
I remember all the times we laughed
Looking back man I'm so glad
And I want you to know that…
you are appreciated x 4

Verse 2:
When I was younger I used to play games with my pops
I can't believe I was ashamed of my pops
Now that I am older he's my role model
I sit and reminisce, sippin' out this cold bottle

He encouraged me to learn on my own
And when I fell down he let me burn on my own... for a second
Just so I could understand the lows and appreciate the highs
Now I always try to smile

Even when I'm down cause I'm thankful for the fact
That my dad's been around, he's so happy for me now
Just last week, we shared the same stage
In the book of life, we on the same page

Right there when I need somebody
The first to believe that I'll be somebody
And how could I forget what you taught me?
Just look at where it got me, damn

Verse 3:
My mom worked hard to make sure I ate good
Gave up her happiness to make sure I stayed good
I'm glad that we made things right
I love you mom, you gave me life

I give you credit cause you raised me proper
Anything less than perfect ain't an option
Always took me to piano class
Always paid even if we ain't had no cash

And you encouraged me to pick up the violin
So you're the reason that I am in this crazy-ass industry
You told me don't stay silent
And when I fell you said try again, you'll get there eventually

You done taught me every friendship needs trust
And when things go wrong you gotta be tough
Cause of you have experienced things other people couldn't dream of
That's real love, that's real love
You are appreciated, you are appreciated

Don't Wake Me Up Lyrics

Dont wake me up
Chorus:
Dreamin
Yeah I’m Dreamin
Yeah I’m Dreamin
Ain’t nobody gonna wake me up
x2

Verse 1:
Woke up at 9, blackberry was in arms reach
Two emails, PO and Jon B
Congratulations on the deal in capital letters
I knew you’d make it, I’m glad that I was patient

Next thing I know I got a phone call from David
Dann, said we got a 26 city tour planned
Oh man, I had to hit my brother Raimond
And tell him what just happened, I can’t believe it happened

10 years ago when I first started rappin
This is exactly what I imagined, damn
Same dream, different goals, same team, different folk
It don’t matter cause we all want the same thing

And that’s love, shit I’m so glad that I’m here
This the first time that I ever shed happy tears
Euphoria, I don’t wanna leave
Don’t try to bring me back to life, I wanna keep

Hook:
Dreamin’
Yeah I’m dreamin
Yeah I’m dreamin
Ain’t nobody gonna wake me up

My grandma lived to see the day
The day to see her grandson finally get paid
Man, I swear that I be

Dreamin
Yeah I’m dreamin
Yeah I’m dreamin
Ain’t nobody gonna wake me up

Verse 2:
Woke up around 1, Mom dukes callin
She worried that her son turned into an alcoholic
And I don’t have the patience to convince her otherwise
So I tell her fall back and hope she doesn’t call back

And now my Dads at my neck with his list of demands
Go to school, get a job I, can’t live in this can
These midterms got me hatin’ music
It’s like they have a choke hold on my creative juices

Man, I haven’t seen my manager in damn near 6 weeks
I’m at the same spot that I was in ‘10
I’m sick and tired of hearin shit from my old friends
When I can write iLLer than these rappers with no pen

But they got paper and that’s what counts
It’s not your mind, it’s your bank account fuck what you thinkin’ about
I blame this on my mom for waking me up
I wish that I was still asleep, I’d rather be

Hook

My ex girl called me on the phone
Told me she’s at home all alone, I said chill cause I’d rather keep on
Dreamin
Yeah I’m dreamin
Yeah I’m dreamin
And ain’t nobody gonna wake me up

Work Lyrics

Work

[Intro]
Yeah
Let me talk to y'all for a second

[Verse 1]
First off, let me say I have respect
For all the 9-5'ers that be slavin' for a check
I used to be that little motherfucker at Panera Bread
Washin' dirty dishes prayin' for another pair of legs

I was standin' eight hours at a time
With a nice hot shower on my mind, man that's all I wanted
I learned a lot workin' with a bunch of convicted felons
I'm talkin' real OGs that'll split your melon

But as time passed, we all got mad cool
They heard my first tape and said I was "that dude"
I still remember havin' minor problems at school
This big motherfucker followed me to work, went berserk

Butt hurt cause I shit on his whole rap crew
My co-workers said "he ain't gonna attack you, unless he tryin' to fade me"
And we could get it G
And if not, you should let it be, homie I work

[Hook (x2)]
They sayin' "yo, where the hell you been"?
I ain't seen you in a minute damn, now you got a Benz
Now you got a crib, shit how you get them ends?
Damn son, yo I thought that we was friends
Homie I work

[Verse 2]
In '07, me and Rai was workin' Patty's Pizza
About a year before I started slangin' bags of reefer
Yeah and we ain't know nothin' bout cookin'
So these dudes had to teach us and we wasn't really slackin' neither

In the beginnin', we was supposed to be deliverin'
But that fell through and I think it was deliberant
Yeah, probably cause we acted like some big clowns
Showin' up late and givin' everybody discounts

Man, I probably took a pizza home every night
I got some crazy shit, yeah I tried every type
I swear the place was losin' money, shit they had to
I was straight loungin' on my phone up in the bathroom

That's until this one chick went and snitched on us
Showed her true colors, turned into a bitch on us
But I ain't got no regrets, I had a lot of fun
Eatin' good and stackin' 'til our pockets numb
Homie I work

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I was makin' dirty money for a while
Shit is wild, if I told you about the drama goin' down
But I'm proud to say I caught a break in 2008
Started workin' at the label, learned about the game

Yeah, I had braces at the time
So I know they wouldn't never take me serious as an artist
Instead I built relationships and stayed up on the grind
And armed myself with knowledge that I couldn't learn in college, uh

But I still went to school, I had that ambition
And when I graduated, boy I made that transition
Strictly music 'til I make it
And when I say "make it" I ain't stoppin' 'til the world see my damn vision

Come to life, I ain't one to quit
I never blame nobody else cause I ain't damn sure the one to bitch
So tell the haters they can suck a dick
I ain't gonna stop 'til we fuckin' rich
Homie I work

Make You Proud Lyrics

Make You Proud
[Verse 1: Azad Right]
Been together for some years now, it's getting harder
And it feels like we've grown apart farther
The thought of you unhappy has me caught up, I'm in my mid twenties
And my confidence is low, I've been running on fucking empty
For too long, I ain't trying to start a fight
It's just hard to accept I ain't buying you what you like
But you don't really care, you appreciate the thoughtful shit
Recently, I've been dodging your calls on some awful shit

Cause every time we go out, you the one that pays the bill
How you think that make me feel Real shit, it makes me iLL
You rub my back and tell me, chill have some patience
Keep doing what you love and eventually you gon' make them mills

I love you, there's nobody else that I'm as close to
But as a man, I should be standing on my own two
So forgive me if I'm coming home late
It might feel like I'm running in place but I've been working babi

[Hook: Senidah]
I've been working all night long
Can't you feel the passion burning so strong
Hope it makes you proud
Hope it makes you proud

[Verse 2: Azad Right]
It's unconditional, I always give you all my love
But what if i'm not the star, that you thought I was
Then I remember that we're family and you got me regardless
I'm talking whether or not my money is tall enough

Seems like success has evaded me for my whole career
Still you make me feel good about my small wins
Surprising me with dinner and the coldest beer
Letting me know, no matter what, you'll put your all in

I swear everyone needs somebody like you
A caring woman that embodies the truth
We've had our fights but I've never had a problem with you
You gave me life, it ain't right I need to watch the way I'm talking to you

Yeah, cause I couldn't imagine a life without you
Girl, I feel like I know everything about you
You really hate when I flake on our plans
And I'm sorry, but I'll say in advance that I've been working babi

[Hook]

Caught In A Dream (Instrumental) Lyrics

Caught in a dream
Verse 1:
Caught in a dream, I’m lost in the scene
Should I swallow my pride? man, I’m caught in between
Not sure if I want the quiet life
But I won’t know till I try the lights

All my close friends sayin’ don’t stare it’ll hurt
So I put on my shades and prepare for the worst
Give me one dance with the groupies
I’m sorry in advance if you lose me, AZ

Chorus:
I’m livin in the moment
The past and the future doesn’t matter to me
Shouldve listened to the warnings
This life that I chose got me caught in a dream

(Ohhh)
I said this life that I chose got me caught in a dream x2

Verse 2:
I’m not happy with myself unless I’m being productive
You might think it’s a curse but I mother fucking love it
So I keep working around the clock
Til I think I’m ready then I’m really serving up the block

Don’t assume I’m nervous in my verses cause I’m not
I’m just trying to get it perfect then that courage is gonna drop
Until then let me live I’m just doing me
Say what you want, you’ll never get through to me

If I’m going to fail it needs to happen on it’s own
But you can bet your bottom dollar I’m gonna give it all I got
I’m still getting better so I know I got a chance
And I wont stop until I’m spittin like I’m Pac

I finally embraced my revolutionary bloodline
I no longer get chills off a punchline
Exiled before birth so I yearn for acceptance
But I still strive for perfection

Verse 3:
I’m gonna dedicate my life to pushing the culture forward
Hip-Hop saved me so it’s something that I owe it
I’m not tryna to be a stoic, I’m not tryna be heroic
I’m tryna spread light on something you barely noticed

He was caught in a dream, it turned into a coma
Gettin’ lost in the green, I think it could be over
Shit is not what it seems, we gotta get you sober
First you wanted a car, it turned into a Rover

Get your mind right the lime light is givin you seasures
Your song on the radios a mild fever
Don’t get amnesia, all them people weren’t believers when you first started
Man you couldn’t have got a worse bargain

You traded in your fam for some fairweather fans
Stop followin’ that major labels plan
Dont lose sight of why you fell in love with music
You talked a big game it’s time to prove it, AZ
