My Own Lane 04:26
Verse one/ the fun has begun/ so put away the guns This is pistol pete reincarnated as an emcee/creating hits outta nothing Well its something/ to take note of/ I drink water not so much soda Never blame it on the alcohol so dumb/ Don't be scared y'all/ come closer And get a sense for real mic control/ Flow is nice but the rhyme so critical Killin it raw/ Nobody can touch it dogg/ You can see my light beaming creepin through the fog/ Go ask the gods/ I'll be doin this/ even when these flakes act up like psoriasis/ Look up in the sky/ what is that a plane?/ nah man that's me makin my own lane Verse 2/ Time for me to prove/ Do what I know is true/ The love and good things you do/ Always come back in a loop/ Have you feelin warm inside like you eatin homemade soup/ Have you goin/ Shoop Shoop/ Holler if you follow/ My message is clean/ Voice proper/ Tactics on point the only choice on the roster/In my eyes/ This conscience run deep/ Scars be healed through/ Runnin bud to Rjd2/ Employee of the month since I cooked my first dish/ Flow is like a sponge sucked you in at first squish/ Mission done/ Vision accomplished/ Lots of others tried but you know no one but me/ Can rock it like this/ Rock it this cool/ Watchin all the boys drool and act all lewd/ When I make the ladies dance and get up out their stools/ I'm just trying to find a place to lay my family jewels/ I don't even believe I made it that far in school/ Played along for a minute/ But the didn't get me oh no/ Goes to show your dreams ain't far away/ If you livin yours let me hear you say yayy I'm takin my own lane/ Makin my own game/ Up as we go/ And it's tight/ And it feels so right For all those that thought hip hop was dead/ I kill it softly so naturally she in my bed/ Waitin up for me to bring her home the bread/ Just so I can tell you all exactly what she said/ And how we do it/ If I had to judge no one compares to it/ She said the lighters/ Are runnin out of fluid/ And with all the biters/ How do I stay true it was/ Unlike her to panic/ Manic depressant/ But to me nothin but blessins/ The stress in my back her loving never lacks/ That good food for me so for you here's a snack/ Homie/ Yeah you knew me/ But you was sleepin on me like I was some kind of groupie/ Slowly now but surely/ My vision'll get less blurry/ Chalk it to flurries I'm outtie and in a hurry/ Peace

Escape 05:04
Tonight we gonna ride around this town For what feels like the first time We'll find a spot to chill and kick it Just to kill the lights No matter what we do No matter what they say No matter where we go Don't matter what we play we play I'mma be with you Prolly smoking that fire Maybe sippin a brew But not too many why Cuz that's just how I do My need for you is dire Make me forget my crew Used to have a lot mor But now I just got a few Even the times togetherThey always passed due And babe I just wanna tell ya That ain't nothing new Nah that ain't nothin Now that I felt your touch I'd like to thank you very much Sorry that I made you wait Now we can make our big escape Escape escape with me tonight Get out of your head And into my car You heard what I said We ain't gonna go far Just tell your dad I'll have you back to the pad before it get too long I'm fittin to finish this bag I make a zig you take a drag I take a risk and then we laugh Girl you a blessin I told you that Somethin about Our connection it never lags Them other girls keep runnin game We keep playin tag Now that I have felt your touch I'd like to thank you very much Not sorry that I made you wait Now we can make our big escape Escape escape with me tonight…(Solo) I can give you my lovin' I can bring you to my world But there ain't no diamonds yet And there ain't no pearls

Soak It Up 05:01
This one takes me back to my childhood/ When the days were so long/Spent playin in the wood This one takes me back to my childhood/ Innocence was a bliss/The world too big to be understood I was born /In the middle of a thunderstorm/They say thats a battle for your soul I think I know who won that fight/My mom was in labor all damn night/But she came out alive/And so did I around 6:45 /In the a.m./Start to prayin To bless their child with the grace and the patience/See nobody knew that I was tryna be a rapper/Back then it was a good knee slapper/But now I clap to the beat/Slap on my guit/Play a few strings/And now I happen to see/ My whole life in front of me/So let me soak it up Growin up I had all the average issues/Acne, I was skinny and cheap shoes At least I had a dad that tried teaching me how to play the blues/His son didn't catch on too quick/Took him 25 years to write his own licks/Now like a glove it just fits/Like a post-it note ya know sometimes it sticks/N all that time that I wasted on fear/N all those nights with a belly full of beer/(oouuh) n Shots of liquor/Now day by day my flow is gettin sicker/This be the play by play of my ticker/Blood from the branch couldn't be any thicker/In the dark/That's when I spark/Up my fire then I embark But I'm not goin back to my childhood/No you can't take it back/All our childhoods/Innocence was a bliss/The world too big to be understood And every day when I lay my head to rest/I'm gonna say that I gave it my best/Some say this life's a test/Either way just give it your best

Why you gotta be like that Takin all my love but you no give me nothing back Why you treatin me so bad Playin with my head you know I'm gonna need that back You could have told me so easily That you thought I was getting too attached You could have just told me so easily Now you get to see how I react Why you gotta be like that Takin all my love but you no give me nothing back Why you treatin me so bad Playin with my head you know I'm gonna need that back Gonna na na Gonna na na need that back Back back back Going going gone Talk your shit but you know you did me wrong Walk that bridge while you listen to this song Oh wait you burnt that down now its gone Gone with the wind Ashes in the breeze Won't see this lonely fool on his knees Cuz I paid all my dues Covered all the fees Lover and a fighter nowadays it pays to be Why you gotta be like that Takin all my lovin' then you don't give me nothin back Why you treatin me like that Text you how I feel I still haven't heard nothing back Playin with my heart you know I'm gonna need that back

I wrote this little ditty at 230 in the morning Momma still up reading her book & papa was snoring They got a call from the bank today n said you better look for another place to stay Unless you got the money Whoever said money can't buy happiness Awh thats just one big lie cuz when you in a mess Knee deep in debt, head full of regret I bet they'd take a nice big slice of that American spice I'm talkin' bout that cash, you better make it last Cuz when you're broke it ain't no joke Rich folks they ain't too kind to that Cuz it ain't too funny when you ain't got the money Standin in the checkout line looking like a dummy Darkest days are here n you ain't feelin too sunny Go right home to bed n then you wrap up like a mummy Like what they want from me When I get a little bread they just takin' all of my honey Tell me is that love or is that karma out to shove me Is that what I deserve in the land of second comings Stunning how real the picture gets when the music's running Whoever said money can't buy happiness Awh thats just one big lie cuz when you in a mess Knee deep in debt, head full of regret I bet they'd take a nice big slice of that American spice I'm talkin' bout that cash, you better make it last Cuz when you're broke it ain't no joke Rich folks they ain't too kind to that But if you're poor man you can rhyme on that ___________________________ I think it's time We discuss our relationship Everything is fine Just checkin for leaks on this ship Your the bottle to my wine I'm tryin hard not to let it slip I like my love divine Like my loving true Like my loving right I love you baby girl but you ain't the only one I've loved this way Said I know you love me girl but you ain't the only one who's fell for me Now you can run like they told you to Or you can stay and listen to me Said you can run like your friends told you to But you should think what you consider a friend Cuz my love is true And our love is right I love you baby girl but you ain't the only one I've loved this way Said I know you love me girl but you ain't the only one who's fell for me
