Introspect’s Verse: Pockets on swol plenty women on the side I’ve just spit a summary of wack rapper’rhymes See I’ve back tracked the real rap that elevates the mind Before you get the money just remember there’s a grind Other rappers thinking bout dropping hits get up quick Spit some shit call yourself the greatest lyricist But I aint even having it, meanings what they lacking in, bullshit I aint hacking it, don’t live it why you rapping it? You aint boss if you still live with your mom, you aint calm I see the sweat in your underarm. Far from veteran, you repetitive emcee’s flaunt the bacon but you aint got no cheese. And why lie we all dream of living lavish Staring at the horizon while my girl brings a sandwich Celebrate with a Cuban and watch the smoke vanish Working hard every day wasn’t born to be average. Aver’s Verse: I told the people to not fight the feeling now they they vibing to sound all hands to the ceiling mc style so I gotta make the crowd move left to right up and down raw poetic still smooth I can make your ass dance even if the beat is jazz skills get love from the lower and upper class understand now you will bars hotter than a magma spill we down to chill after we pay all our mommas bills that was only 8 bars in im better with the pen freestyles sicker than 16 bar written by a wack mc that claims to have the bread and cheese look in the fridge man i don't see a single thing and its hard to breath spittin something hotter than degrees still cool calm collective when I make the time freeze its all about having fun doing what you love im making music for generations to come Ra1’s Verse: You must be in illusion, maybe little off the head Behead em maybe throw em off the bridge instead Think they match up they better catch up This is a grown man sport kid put your pants up I don’t understand, the fact that people be claiming they’re good or whatever Feeling they’re better getting a buzz with the bullshit they say thinking they’re clever Flashing jewelry acting fake as a movie, Telling the public you’re harder than gold, who you tryna fool? Me? Never that motherfucker, retreat where you came from You run no game son, sit on the bench and watch the game run You’re smoking to much bunk pot today kid Thinking you’re ballin with the wack ass jump shots you’re taking Sit back let the adults talk I oughtta smack down Mcs tryna act so tall Hats stay on, no remorse for the weak Should’ve not started running your mouth now before you started running your feet when your fuckin with me

"Bars" 02:09
Introspect’s Verse: You see I’m not behind bars, but instead I am delivering Relief from the scars, there’s more bars then penitentiaries But not talking bars in the sense of drinking brew But these type of bars serve as an escape too I hate the fact that my words are confined inside the stamp 'Cause we know that prisoners are mostly brown or black So here I am another man just joining the statistic But what if I use these bars and turn it into something different Uplifting our people, uplifting our city ‘Cause truth be told the world right now aint nothing pretty Strictly greed and material things But all the things in the world won’t help your self-esteem Pay attention to the lies, subliminally told People In jail are not the only thing these bars hold Record execs playing life like a game of chess But it’s no stress to these artists as long as they get their checks And I’m stressing out but not because I’m trying to write a hit It’s because it’s only bullshit, reaching the kids It’s unfortunate they say my generation is cursed, Yet we have… 2 Chainz spitting a verse And I’m not one to talk shit or to criticize But I’m tired of MTV and the BET telling lies Telling me, that these women are just bitches and hoes Telling me to buy a chain 'cause I gotta floss my do’ But I disagree and turn my back to negativity, Real recognize real wit y’all we’ll grow exponentially Peace love and unity and having fun, Repping the real essence till my time is done.

Ra1’s 1st Verse: (Alright look) What else will kill the time for me to ponder on Dwelling on mistakes, it's dangerous to wander off What can you do but hang on when not one problem is solved No one ever said the rubble on the road'll be soft So, I keep that in mind as Im reaching through the time But the farther I reach, I feel less heart in me inside Needless to say, the less homies I obtain Help me distinguish which ones are real and which are fake Which are one of many reasons why I keep the circle small 'Cause half of these characters dont know where the line is drawn Theyre looking really sketchy, now now someone tell me Why these hypocrites talk shit then start to plead for some helping And once you do try to help 'em up off the cliff They'll have the nerve to keep your grip just to get you to slip It'll probably be the last day if I put my guard down Imagine the devastation of me coming with an open heart now the people surrounding that ask about you are the same fakes tryna' fuck on your girl when she's not around you To make the matters worse, these bitches are coming to ask them first Guess there's a gift and a curse within lessons that you learn huh CHORUS: Fuck you, 'Cause this is a man with an open scar (x3) Still torn apart but still reaches towards what's far Fuck you, 'Cause this is a man with an open scar (x3) Still torn apart but still reaches towards what's far Ra1’s 2nd Verse From the SOUTHern GATEs of Hell hoping to be the first to make it Staying stuck to a bliss of influence, everyones favorite And i say that with a personal experience Ever seen a man with a broken heart? Yo, well here he is Here I greet you to a man with a broken heart Still torn apart but still moves on with open scars But how should I feel when even my own brother looks up to me When I, too, have low chances of being somebody So much to lose in a game I never wanted to play in I was told even a hero falls so who should i put my faith in A life to live? Yea, Im hoping that it settles soon Am i wrong for investing in poetic tunes? Sometimes I wish I was young again Sometimes I wish I had a family of my own Will I ever get to trust again I dont know, shit, but im still chilling on my own CHORUS: Fuck you, 'Cause this is a man with an open scar (x3) Still torn apart but still reaches towards what's far Fuck you, 'Cause this is a man with an open scar (x3) Still torn apart but still reaches towards what's far Ra1’s 3rd Verse: I wrote this yesterday to be exact, it was last night Wondering how will I make it into the fast life Living here is no different than breathing through a gas pipe Not quite, sure what it is but for a fact it dont feel right Is it the fact we're all waiting to kill each other Stuck in a mess hoping to win after the sirens thunder Is it 'cause i dwell on cold nights, even around the summer Seeing how my own brother is done, couldnt it be another? Shit, I dont mean to be sounding selfish But what would you think about when you're just standing there helpless Through the madness, Im planning to stay strong 'Cause Im hoping the bad dont last long Test of fate, I clench my fists to make a break It's give or take, win or lose, it's my decision to make To protect the sheep, You gotta' catch the wolf and it takes a wolf, to catch a wolf CHORUS: Fuck you, 'Cause this is a man with an open scar (x3) Still torn apart but still reaches towards what's far Fuck you, 'Cause this is a man with an open scar (x3) Still torn apart but still reaches towards what's far

Ceez’s Verse: Now as I look up to see the sun, I see nothing but clouds and my day has begun, Just another gloomy day in the city of South Gate, Where rumors are spread bunch of fake homies starting to hate, But it's alright cos I'm all about my grind, Now watch me kick,push coast to my 9-5, Yo I gotta escape fuck around blast my brain, All these bitches the same, Fucking with my mental dawg I'm going insane, Sipping on codeine till' I get a purple face, Wooo! Doesn't that sound great!? Waking up shit faced with regrets on your plate, Like what happened last night do you got that shit on tape? Kinda funny how these girls tryna holla cos I got local "fame", But they weren't fucking with a brotha looking for a prom date, Now they loving my voice once they press play.... hahahaha I'm on some other shit, I'm on some other shit, Hook: They told me keep my head up it'll be alright, But why is it that I look to the sky and see no shine, and see no shine.. Ceez’s 2nd Verse: Now microphone check verse two, I'm in the kitchen scrambling eggs with a brew, Lemme start droppin' some names of these stuckup broads from High School, The ones who said I wasn't so cool, Cos I was that ugly dude who hardly went to school, And now I'm writing these tracks and their like hey boo, I'm like hey wassupp......fuck you, and your nice boobs, Big ol' booty with an ugly attitude, Now keep on walking cos I ain't tryna fuck with you, I'm too busy writing songs tryna get some loot, Tryna help my momma cos the rent is due, And my manager pissing me off telling me to clock in by noon, Shit, it's my day off and there goes my afternoon, Therefore I wrote this for you, you, you, all of you, you you.. I'm on some other shit Hook: They told me keep my head up it'll be alright, But why is it that I look to sky and see no shine, see no shine..

Rainy Days 04:00
Ra1 Verse: Have you ever sat down, just to listen to the rain? You see concrete drenched, and the stains wash way Your mind goes blank, but you know its all good We all get hit by problems but your safe in your hood Or is it? See, it aint like any other place See people's faces wash down and see their distastes Rainy days never made life this vivid Trife I was gripping changed my life with decisions When most are tricked to think there's life up in prison I saw then I yearned to rock a mic with precision Hoping stress'll be killed with hype I envisioned For now I keep pushing after fights I given So I sit and I think and I righteously listen To the rain as I see it while it shines and it glistens Hoping for a wish to change my life in an instant Moving for a better life to be livin Introspect’s Verse: Sidewalk stepping pass through the traffic Staying on my toes ‘cause this world is madness It’s so much of a tragedy Feels like there is nobody Don’t know where to go to don’t know where to turn Guess it’s the world giving lessons I need to learn Tired of feeling down so I’ll rise from the floor The pain from the past doesn’t hurt anymore My turn to explore, my mind is expanding Things from before help build an understanding Guess I caught up quick Who’da thought the nerd who played sports could spit That’s the last of my concern Those who place labels usually the first to burn It used to never make sense, But there’s a reason why some people belong in the past tense Chorus: Everyday we’re living to grow ‘Cause tomorrow you just don’t know So it’s best to step with caution ‘Cause falling down, ain’t no option Ceez’s Verse: Waiting for the bus and it's raining, Got cold feet so my soul is shaking, Never planned on taking this ride, I wanted to play soccer but I started to rhyme, I guess the shivers happened for a reason, God blessed me with a voice now I'm dreaming, Of rocking a show by expressin my thoughts, Speaking bout how life was..without a pops, And this is for the kids who can relate, Seeing moms struggling with bills to pay, Stomach growling cause their ain't no food on your plate, But music was our only escape, So my headphones were always on, A smooth cat head noddin' down the block, To some jazz indie and classic rock Aver’s Verse: smeared words written on this here notepad look dad but a response never comes back im used to it man, man im numb in the rain the cold I only feel is the cold shoulder that he gave but whatever I took this walk to think let the thoughts sink the way the pen bleeds looked in a puddle and i seen my reflection stared for a minute but I asked one question WHY? we both smiled and said jinx we both knew the answer knew it was too deep Step by step i recollect dreams I have I wont Forget spark my mind and start the fire walk in the dark in the rain no lighter constant reminder to keep my chin up cus not even the rain can drown out my sun Chorus: Everyday we’re living to grow ‘Cause tomorrow you just don’t know So it’s best to step with caution ‘Cause falling down, ain’t no option
6.
Introspect’s 1st Verse: Got your midterm back and got a failed grade Can’t get past this god damn stage Of this game you had to buy at full price And your girlfriend left you last night But these are the good problems in life Think about it once or twice you’re still leaving right Get over yourself it ain’t bad at all Cuz we have shitty days but it don’t mean to fall Now we all get down but you don’t have to cry People in wheelchairs keep life rolling by And point and laugh while you’re on the floor, You fail to recognize the blessings you have is much more Then the next guy in fact When compared side to side, your life is far wack So take a seat in the back and re-evaluate And you’ll realize that life is really fuckin’ great Chorus: These are the good problems in life I woke up today so I’m winning right I might be stressed, with heavy bags in my eyes But it feels good to be alive. Ra1’s verse: Up in elementary, cursive writing progressed Was the fastest reader, I felt the pride within my chest While I was being taught how to play sports by my bigger bro I learned that competition was a big thing to hold Up in middle school, I carried off on the wrong foot By 14 I starting experimenting with small kush Early senior high, never had a care of all books Unfortunately things got worse as alcohol pushed All around this time my eyes started opening I noticed my peers failing when they werent supposed to be Back at home I saw my brother falling victim Drugged up In the system, the real him man I miss em Who wouldve thought this wouldved happened More than a bitter sweet feeling knowing youve lost a bad habit And still I miss the golden days where we all chose to play Now I embrace the fact I woke today Chorus: These are the good problems in life I woke up today so I’m winning right I might be stressed, with heavy bags in my eyes But it feels good to be alive. Introspect 3rd verse: Poppa never lived at home momma worked her fingers to the bone Where did that leave me home alone With my brother and sister as some little kids Cartoons on the TV and Top Ramens still the shit One time the noodles burned me cuz the soup fell on my rib cage The scar still remains like a stamp of my kid days And now all I do is sit back and reminisce, Cuz this momentary bliss does not compare to life as kids Thinking bout all the stress of the week We living to work cuz we working to eat And doing our best to remain our feet Cuz the odds are against us the future is bleak But I never weep about it Cuz we gotta face the struggle not just merry go around it Not tryna preach to you in anyway I’m just really grateful that I’m alive today Chorus: These are the good problems in life I woke up today so I’m winning right I might be stressed, with heavy bags in my eyes But it feels good to be alive.

Ra1’s Verse: I can't help but wonder what’s around me The fact I’m still around still fucking astounds me Surroundings consist of clouds and broken dreams Getting kicked down the stool barely even noticing And it only gets worse when you try to push for tomorrow Struggles and burdens on my shoulder's my only cargo I don’t wanna live anymore, at least not here, no man So I got no other choice but to move like a nomad A bird was never meant to have a cage, straight up So let a phoenix fly away, way up Will I fall or will be safe and surpass The snakes in the grass from the dangerous past But wait, let’s start facing the fact There will always be those who want your face in the trash So I hope I can escape from this path Maybe turn straw to gold to put a name on this man Chorus: They don’t really understand How it is to try to be a man Ain’t nothing to phase so I keep doing me While others just watch me pursuing dreams Introspect’s Verse: Have you ever been a victim of the world caving in? Man I try to fly away gravity pulls me in Questioning my troubles, repenting the sins But the pain always lingers it’s like it remains within But then the Earth will continue to spin Time and time again I start to circle around this pen. Some get lost without direction, But I’m fucking done with stressing, figure it out with introspection It seems to help the mind rest But I’m vexed ‘cause life has got me feeling like a defect. Rugged young’n dragging through the trenches They said life’s a fixer-upper then where the fuck is my wrench then Sucks when life, can feel like a mistake But getting myself down, adds venom to the snakes People steady on the prowl driven by hate but I’m a fuckin man so I control my fate. Chorus: They don’t really understand How it is to try to be a man Ain’t nothing to phase so I keep doing me While others just watch me pursuing dreams Ceez’s Verse: Ayo, the alcohol got him tips, Baby momma slipped the wrong words now she got busted lips, Got herself beat up in front of her kid, Now her own damn kid reminiscing as he stares at his kicks, Yuuuup, that little youngin' with a bowl cut, Now, he's a little oldaaaaah' Yo, I try to cover my past skip class, Tryna perfect my craft, Escape reality music keeps me calm it alleviates, And the herb just seems to help me meditate, To find some sort of freedom when I'm lost, I'm too caught yo, I'm too caught up in my thoughts, A bunch of burdens but I still seem to walk, Backpack full of grudges but I forgave my pops, You see I learn to forgive but not forget, Therefore I write my stories with a pen, Chorus: They don’t really understand How it is to try to be a man Ain’t nothing to phase so I keep doing me While others just watch me pursuing dreams
8.
Ceez’s Verse: Longer days and sleepless nights, Captures by the darkness hardly see any lights, And it isn't cos my eyes low, Still chasing a dream but it's hard to follow, Now you know why I hardly get rest, Tryna take the right steps in order to reach success, Let me catch my breath, Cause this is for those whose ever felt worthless, Shivering wondering why the world is so cold, And why your mother had to play both roles, It's not right hearing her cry overnight, Feeling like a piece of me just died, Like the time when my grandma had to say her last goodbye, Got me thinking will I ever reach the sky, Just to get that last kiss & stare into her eyes, But instead I stay up late writing in my book of rhymes Introspect’s Verse: Emptiness around the block the streets are hot I’m laying down on some broken glass and bed of rocks It’s hard to get up, when so much shit can get you down But if I stop now, I’ll never make my momma proud But who is with me when I’m all alone on cold nights I try to grip reality instead I hold my dreams tight Visions of myself just ripping every track, But when I look up at the wall my head circles like it runs track And I fall down but I always find my way back up Insecurity is hard to shake but you can’t rely on luck It’s like I’m stuck, confused with this life and this music Wake up from this nightmare and I put on something soothing Maybe something calm that will rest the mind Figure out your worth and leave the doubt behind On second thought I should take my own advice But there I go again talking to myself at night Hide&SeekZoo’s Verse: Yo, as I go to sleep, my thoughts go in deep Thinking about what I lost and the shit I got to keep Live fast dream slow, that’s all Ill ever know And ive seen enough of the world just to know that its cold They aint dealing with the feeling, staring at the ceiling With my head on my pillow, feelings never healing So I, pack a bowl just to see if it helps ‘Cause weed’s a last resort when I got nothing else Like im running, yea it feels like im chasing Memories erasing, bad thoughts misplaced in A place theyre not supposed to be, so I smoke tree Just to get away from me, that’s what I call free But im doing just fine, I hope that you know it Just another sleepless night in the life of a poet Saw my chance and I wrote it, and then you quote it ‘cause all the late night thoughts is what keeps me goin’ Aver’s Verse: This minds a dark place when in the back with your shadows facing your mistakes in the face is a constant battle my life is a movie no color just black and white the setting is one room one mic and some fucked up nights they say yo, just let it go aver I say yo, ill talk to you later stuck in my bed with these shackles on my head weight of my past wont let me get a minute of rest into an abyss a child confused and in the mix thrown into the world where no gives two shits they say forgive and forget but all I have is regret put your guard down and the pain proceeds to the chest Worse than bullets this hurt is certainly permanent maybe one day ill recover from all of this bullshit so they ask me why I smoke these cigs under street lights wasted time in the dark when I should've been in the light Ra1’s Verse: What couldve been that he looked down to the globe with nothing but contempt With an urge to run away from home to kill his thoughts again The feeling where you think no one thinks as much as you You pretend it's fine when its opposite in front of you You can probably glance at me, but we dont share the same lane An unattached train with thoughts to be an airplane So much to say and yet, so little time Through a fucking song I rather tell you looking down into your eyes Just to prove, Im someone that'll have somthing to die for soon So I keep pushing and pushing in order to move Away from fake realities to brighter fantasies Rather than wishing no one'll pull me down, spell casting me But they can keep their talk shit as their belongings, My closest claimed they never harmed me pretending they never lied I teared inside, but they cant blame me Im feeling crazy, havent been myself lately
9.
Introspect’s Verse: Don’t get too close, it’ll hurt you The people you call homies the same people that’ll merk ya I only mean it literal, in extreme cases When it goes down they’ll throw your name to dodge cases Face it, it’s a pot of piss that we live in, What happened to the loyalty, and respect given Driven by the madness, but backflip over the masses But I don’t have to replicate, I’m raw life molasses Or raw like a sample ripped straight from the vinyl To all the homies know I got your back like spinal Cord, I don’t even have an accord Put that on the list of all the shit I can’t afford But I’m not really trippin’ spend my money to record, Otherwise I’d be so stuck inside these lyrics that I hoard I don’t imitate I navigate to elevate Run on empty tanks of patience cuz of empty dinner plates Aver’s Verse: Digging in this jungle of crates acting like an ape Thumping on my chest even if the beat is stopped or changed the mcs relate internet kids debate still loving hip hop when i got beats on my plate this is for the love it this for the fun this is for music pushed me when I had no funds no its not done this is far from it Just like knowledge progression never stopping more development skills will be crafted and mastered rebuilding our surroundings while diminishing attackers aimed at ears right and left even if your deaf read my lips hear my words while I paint the word progress don't worry when you're all alone sitting in the forest my talent is to make everyone feel noticed cus I know how it is when troubles come in bundles spitting remedies so you wont have to see the cookie crumble Ceez’s Verse: Stomach mumbling and it's that time of the season, To go out and search for wait I ain't gotta explain my reasons, Days passing me by but I'm still breathing, Just know that I'm hungry and I ain't leaving, Till' the fat lady sings her melody, Oh baby please c'mon c'mon whatchu bring? A loaf of bread and some butta' But I still gotta share with 3 other brotha's, Cause my momma didn't raise no selfish fool, She told me honey don't be running by the pool, So I never slipped, never bruised a hip, never busted my lip, It's survival of the fittest and I'm ready rip, Stimulate yo' mind like your hitting the cannabis, But can I wish? feel the bliss, get a grip, It's hunting season and a meal I can't skip, Chorus: So tell me who you hunting for? So tell me why you running for? It's hunting season and I'm out searching for more, Haven't ate much just food scraps off the floor..

Best of Me 03:03
Aver’s Verse: Eternally driven since mom gave birth to this seed Hard to see but im giving this a hundred percent of me flip the switch and everybody wants my everything i don't have anything but they insist on taking things god damn these people just wont let me be all they ever try do is try to get the best of me I cant let it happen man I wont let happen stop asking I aint trying to fill your already full basket matter fact most of you already got a full plate come to me for more when I haven't even fucking ate this empty stomachs runnin gunnin for the success fuel is zero and i'm learnin how to work under this stress but all this does is make me a better me eventually all you'll see is a super human being but giving the best of me still wont be enough im giving everything till I turn into dust Ceez’s Verse: You see every time I give the best of me, People seem to take advantage and forget the chemistry, But not this time because its meant to be, I feel it coming like its destiny, I feel it rising like Moses splitting up the seas, Now it's up to me sprout and grow my tree, Of ideas as my mind seems to run so free, In the jungle of peace, love and poetry, And just like Martin had a dream, And everyday was a struggle for the Brooklyn king, I seem to stay awake cos Nas told me not to sleep, Until the day I succeed therefore I give the best of me, Now watch me take flight once I grow my wings, Up in the sky dunking like Julius Erving.. Introspect’s Verse: I’ve always tried to give the best of me That’s why I show you my abilities But sometimes it gets hard to put it all down Cuz we all fear ridicule and getting clowned But I’ve learned to narrow my peripherals Out of all your friends, there’s few individuals That help you through every single thing you choose to do Cuz humanity is not inclined to work for someone else’s food Confused as a young’n but now I understand When someone gets the best of you it’s just part of the plan The hurt and experience is all part of the growth Don’t got my bread and butter I’m still chasing my own loaf This is for those that think they got the best of me Well no shit I’m tryna give you everything The only way to do it is to go all in So even if I fail I’ll look back with a grin
11.
Introspect’s Verse: Only a small gap divides the line between you and I but it still don’t define. Cuz we all act like there’s nothing to lose, But when the going gets tough it gets tough to choose Confused yet I smirk cuz I’m labeled a jerk Cuz im quick to profess things off my chest Why when our own people are struggling We quick to criticize and add the suffering The fuck happened to helping out? You really wonder why in the hood there’s no way out? Cuz we only start to rag on the rest But a bag of the stress only adds to the stress Cuz you packing the less, can’t afford top shelf, Wealth ain’t defined by designer belts, I remind myself to enjoy my health Cuz life is shorter than the smallest elf Chorus: Let’s make it happen Everyone in this room should be clapping Everyone should have a smile on they face So everyone can know that life is great Introspect 2nd verse: But its not… I musta forgot… We live with inequality so it should be a policy to never say probably A part of me is wishing that we all participated Put the pieces of the puzzle back together then we’ll frame it So we can stand afar Gaze upon our work like astronomers with stars As far as those probablys heres how it goes When someone reaches out to you the person should know That you got their back and they got yours Instead of for progression we unite to fight wars Instead of me and you, you just thinking you and yours Instead of moving on we should think of finding cures. And make it through together cuz the pain is momentary, legacies last forever. Chorus: Let’s make it happen Everyone in this room should be clapping Everyone should have a smile on they face So everyone can know that life is great Bridge: We all seeking better days… So I just can’t wait… We all tryna find escapes… So I just can’t wait… But my visions in place… So I just can’t wait… When you know what’s at stake… You just can’t wait… Chorus: Let’s make it happen Everyone in this room should be clapping Everyone should have a smile on they face So everyone can know that life is great

Garage Music 02:39
Introspect’s Verse: Not one negative thing I can say Cuz that’s where we kicked freestyles all day That’s where we were given birth That’s where my life took a turn, Aver hit me up and told me we should kick it I agreed it had been a minute I was writing every single night and day But I never thought, we have our own mixtape I was listening to Slug and Doom and I started thinking bout all the things we can do Infatuated with the way the wordplay would just carry me cuz even when I fell down it would pick me up steadily And now I’m readily attacking the hurt Cuz I knew that I could make it since the day of my birth We all searching for serenity and heaven on earth Never thought that I would find it inside of these words. Aver’s Verse: The garage my secret paradise hidden in the back hip hop heads feel alive yo feel it in the vibes feel inside of your spine beats banging so hard lose track of all time cus this is the place where the universe collided created four mcs that began rhyming in a place smaller than a house but louder than a mouse neighbors never complained because they love the sound Profound lyricist sitting on a couch wishin decided to get up to make the people listen so every single line is for those who spent time freestyles on the side supported with every dime no weed joke intended elevated with the sentence started from the bottom now midway making progression so pursue your dreams even if they start in the garage your on this planet now but later take off to the stars Ceez’s Verse: Hip-hop loungin' now we straight clowning, Speakers banging now we freestyling, Like a bboy on a card board box, Like the graff heads painting walls with art, Nothing but love for the culture, Golden boy putting up a fight like Oscar de la Hoya' Put my city back on the map, Humble Neglected Lyricist killing every track, Came here to provide the sound, This garage music HNL putting it down, For the S-O-UTH mothafucking city of the gates, What that spell? South Gate! Where I reside garage chilling all day, Sleeping on us is like eating without saying grace, Peace god bless, Ceez is the name..
