Track Name: Live & Learn
1st Verse:
I don't believe in the cliche phrase that the stars aligned when I was born.
I think it was more like the continuum being torn
I'd rather change worlds than line up balls of gas.
That way I help people fly, instead of watchin em crash.
Sometimes I feel like behind the phantom of the opera's mask.
But Andrew Webber didn't write this masterpiece.
This show is one man playing an entire cast.
And allowing music to let my madness speaks.
While some of it's dark, it's always major.
Top priority is being understood, I'll worry bout paper later.
I just give my audiobiography to my audience.
And hopefully you can relate and then applaud for it.
Take what you want from it, I'm just tellin my tales.
Even though they quiet, there are some out there who want me to fail
Some were friends of mine, but sometimes bridges burn...
Sometimes it's for the best...Live & Learn.

Hook:
Nothing in this life is coincidence, if it happens then there's a reason.
But without something to believe in, it loses meaning.
I've been waiting so long, I've been going so strong
Life is fire, sooner or later, it loses its burn
Take nothing for granted, homie, Live & Learn.

2nd Verse:
Georgia 90's baby born at the end of the summer.
One year into the decade, the start of a new world wonder.
I wonder if my mother knew her son would grow to greatness.
I knew it wouldn't be easy. The pressure: Can I take it?
I wasn't too bad a kid, I stayed out of trouble.
Always an open book, but as I grew I closed my bubble.
BY 15, I wondered if I put this knife to wrist.
Would anybody care, or forget I exist?
Now I'm sitting up in my apartment living room.
Eyes full of tears, an empty bottle of goose. I'm screaming what do I do?
But I get no answer, cuz no one picks up their phone.
THat's where I felt the most alone...
There's somethin wrong, there's an ache in my head.
I don't belong, I should be dead.
But I'm still breathing...God's not done with me yet...
So I'll wait my turn...and continue to Live & Learn

Track Name: Told You So
Feeling like I can not be defeated
Got my team on my back, I have everything I needed
I'll always rock with Lupe so you can say I'm beamin.
This life is exactly the way I dreamed it.
I'm better than I ever was.
Making greater music, and now I got a better buzz.
Now everything is about to pay off.
And people want to join my team like I was in the playoffs.
But my mind is on championships
Having a mass of people chanting your hits.
but I'm not just applying it music.
This should be motivation for what you do, and how you do it.
Grind and never lose it, even if you feel you've peaked.
Cuz you can always go a few more feet.
So, all negative energy can never hurt me.
Because I prevailed it all and stayed on my journey because...

(Chorus)
Everything was working against me.
But I didn't quit, it only brought out the best me.
I'm in my own lane, and its empty, the rest are overcrowded.
And I'm just flying by laughing at everyone who doubted.
Haaa. I Told you so.
Dragged my name through the mud, now its a name you should know.
So if you feelin like I feel all across the globe.
Then let me hear you say "I told you so."

This should be the music that you blast when you're putting on your outfit.
Feeling like the freshest kid out here.
Give me a cardigan, ray bans and a snapback, it'll be the best day.
Ask me how I feel, ill tell you Nimbus, nueve.
I'm feeling higher than the clouds are.
And this is without puffin loud or
Sniffin all the powder
Feeling clean like I just hopped up out the shower.
No one kid should have all this power.
I'm near twenty, with a kids imagination.
A grown man's drive, so the world is mine for takin.
It's amazing the game that even love plays
Cuz from my ex to current chick, one word...upgrade.
There's always something someone's gonna say that you can't do.
But that's just another obstacle to pass through.
Just know that you're a champion when you listen to this song.
So, put your hands up and sing along...

(Chorus)
