The Source

Off of the porch
Off to the Porsche
Off of the Source
Off none of that
Endorse the light way, right way
Fly high as a kite way, might pay
Sitting in the chamber where my heart stay
An iced out art cave
Pay to play the game like an arcade
Better know the name R A Y N K
Not known, how I kill it
Like a Sun God at midday
Born in the late summer sun
The solid one assigned to solitude
The destination exipiration in the simulation
Situation doom
Preparation, never last to make it
Cap, cannot take it
'Cause only facts I'm chasing
That's true
Throwing off a pack of fools like I'm at the gym
Make it easy on you tools like cotton gin
Bite the hand that feeds
That's a universal sin
Luring in and throw in reverse
Call it bait racing
But nah, we don't play with that
Connected to Source
I don't fade to black, I fade to white
Slay shade the vacant knight
Couldn't fortify my fears
Cauterize my tears
But core to rise, I'm near
Borderline top-tier
Shawty fine on the shoreline
But my mind far, far, way from here
Far out, reel 'em in
Space shot in the ocean
And my vessels just floating
But the Source got me open
I'm hoping (I'm hoping)
Playing with the silly putty
Delve in the water 'til it's plenty muddy
Mark of God and the light above
Yet still I wonder "What's the Source?"
Captain steady with the course learning a
Chop all that
Humanity left us nothing
Devoid from the lack of substance
Tall buildings and it's cumbling
Ancient from the ways of muscle
Brolick and
Fighting this feeling inside, I'm calling my lifeline
Reacting- huh, looking to space and time
This is mine
This is my letter to you
Sealed it and signed it
You feel it? I'm aligned with
Divine and righteous
Run the road
Check the Source Code for the Norse flow
Get high as my horse go
Use the force but I'm not forceful
'Cause I don't force
Yet a fire sign, so my nature of force
You wreckon with me?
I'm flaming the scene
I'm burning the set down, R.I.P
Rest in perfection
Da Vinci drew my skeleton
An actual art piece, even in the grave
'Cause through this odd life
Made a way
Rage and pain set him straight
Shooting off a path catastrophic as a stray
Knowing he wrote it, it must hurt you inside
Barely opening my mouth
Truth is an insecticide
Peasant, pay your tithe
Higher than the highest high
High and hold a Horus Eye
Hold your horses I know a conquest
The Source
The Source
The Source
The Source
The Source
This Source timing, three times
Horus eyeing, you know it
Zion where I am
Zaza out the Mylar
Learnt me to admire the mire
If your life's fye, mine's fyer
Ride slyer in slo-mo
Speed by ya, I uh
Know a conquest worthy of a king
Looking for the source of things
It ain't about shiny rings that hold trophies up
Think about what had banded us, bonded us
Abandonment
Sautered trust in the new age
Ain't a lot of us
Just a few days 'til the prophet come
False prophets out there be weak
New land, standing at the peak
Bloody crown, I wipe off the meek
I'm clearing heads off of all you sheep
And taking souls where they need to be
Awaken folks out of endless sleep
Show 'em the Source ain't what seemed to be
So it's soed, reason I reap
The Source
The Source
The Source
The Source

Comfortable Run

(Hook: Oscar IV & Raynk)
Would I still be me
Would you still be you
When the whole world goes against me
Keep it real, would you tell the truth
If you could see the end
Would you push right through
When the whole world goes against me
I feel most comfortable
(Verse 1: Oscar IV)
Lock-step, lock-step, lock-step
Open doors up like a locksmith
Seen the jinn and know that you are not them
Bracing for the moment
Hope I never see that I bend
Learn the Merciful, I'm seeking Him
It don't matter what state you in
It don't matter what state you in
(Verse 2: Oscar IV)
Drugs, making love, questioning what's up above
On the face of it
It just brings you closer to the source of it
Base bumming, vibing to the bass strumming
You can make a case for it
Don't you run away from it
Shawty talk to me (don't run, don't run)
Just talk to me
(Hook: Oscar IV & Raynk)
Would I still be me
Would you still be you
When the whole world goes against me
Keep it real, would you tell the truth
If you could see the end
Would you push right through
When the whole world goes against me
I feel most comfortable
(Verse 3: Raynk)
Are you real if you're living your dream but stay slept on
Are you sleep if your dreams take you headstrong
Or woke as the light next to bed, on
The chip on my shoulder a cash token
Never out of ammo, infinite reload glitch
My, like Lilo, I'm Stitch
In essence I shouldn't exist
My presence beaming out a dish
Like a white girl off white girl, just the nature
Tight curls, body tazer
In silk she a shocker
Still shot it down, it ain't my fault
I'm a soldier
You can charge it to these war games
A hardened sergeant
I'm a rank up from the general nonsense
Making plays they say questionable
But they ain't ever question what I culled
Called to the slaughter but off this horror-fed I'm full
Matter I dorn this red, like
In my head life's horrible
So why you scared of the bull
Know the end ain't it
Better step on a stone
Going up to the throne of the most lit
(Hook: Oscar IV & Raynk)
Would I still be me
Would you still be you
When the whole world goes against me
Keep it real, would you tell the truth
If you could see the end
Would you push right through
When the whole world goes against me
I feel most comfortable

Midknight Rider

P-p-p
Pick and roll, finger waves
Let sunset sink away with rays
The ball goes down, let begin the games
'Cause a night rider
Only one who can light the fire of the brighter days
Higher minds, Orca strains
Orchestrating this porous game
Where peasants claim to be Gods
That theology, honestly, only thing holy
These starved coyotes got poor mindframes
Mindset on abundance
All through the shallows and shroud of shadows
Shine on eruption
Like an eclipse over a volcano erupting
Sign something way cooler is coming
Nah, like, like (Uh huh!)
Through the eternal night
I inferno spite the demons with glow that's been stowed away for ages
Stoke this flame when I get to blazing
Look like end days for all those not creating on a conscious wavelength
Confidentially open up, take space back
This our land, us universal beings
Just depends which universe you be in
Believe in
What I'm seeing is, therefore I am
I am, I
Yo
Tell her do the homework
Young man on his own
Coming off of work getting so stoned
Contemplating life
What you saying life came from carbon and a blank stone?
Let me think about that
Turn the music up then I'll bring it right back
Origins of foreign oddities are often lost in localities and tribal blend
Tryna make waves and bate the sin
Since grandma got down in '66, it's like
If I think that I can, then I will
And I might tear the stage up in Mocassins
Got my brother right with me
Holding things down on the coast when I'm out flying
Deviate from the norm, I'm an outlier
Say I'm not, you an outright liar
Third eye on the bag my g
A plus one fiend, the opposite of a pirate
Abate from collecting things
A bait for the dreams
A bayt for the likeminded
'Cause we all need a home
In a place where the time moves slow
And I know it sounds hard to believe
Quick, huddle up, plan it and go

Found myself on tracks
It's a cycle, i'm still losing it
Make a way to take away
'Cause on the real it's all bout-bout-bout
Found myself on tracks
It's a cycle, i'm still losing it
Make a way to take away
'Cause on the real it's all bout who you with
Stuck in illusionment
You see on cruise our ship
To crash off booze and piff
'Cause we too cool with lists
That's choosing who we is
Abuse to lift
Spirits hear us clearest off hallucinogens
This generation ruthless for a win
Finesse, get back, get best and do again
I'm making plans my g (Good plans)
Never know what I can or what it could be
Never could be me
Your women know IV just from an iPhone screen
I tell you, i'm more than you can imagine
Look at the curls and look at the fashion
Look at the way that the hat spins
No, it ain't just happen
Your girl in the car, yeah it's happening
Try and dap, i'm laughing when
Must be imagining we're cool
You fool, i'm the talisman
Take your Alice to wonderland
Like Alistair put her under my spell
Then tell tales that don't come from men
You don't understand it
Get the bag, I finesse
Get the bag, I finesse
Get the bag, I finesse
Get the bag, I finesse
Get the bag, I finesse
Get the bag, I finesse
Get the bag, I finesse
Get the bag, I finesse
Use your energy to make yourself rich bruh
Real talk
Stop making the other dude rich
The dude you're working for, stop making him rich
Put that same energy into your own dream
Bro, you come from that job
So you don't have to go to that job
One day
If I ain't never tell y'all nothing I just did
Real talk
You just crashed my FL with that take
Hm?
I think you just crashed my FL with that take
Oh no
My bad

History, Pt. I
03:12
|
|||
Yo, aye
Blundering or maybe bubbling
Sipping bubbly with her
Personality is bubbly, covered in
A single thing i'll point out
The cozy, comforting look she gives me
Wanna shout it from the rooftops
Baby got some history but nothing we can't work with
Ring around and couple roses
Won't you be my circus?
We're all falling down
But some of us quicker than others
And gravity is hard to fight so I lift up another
Want me to end confusion?
No, it's not a moment fling
So in conclusion, let me tell you everything
I'm feeling inside
I'm feeling alright, don't worry
Don't worry 'bout anything, IV got it
IV got the love bug
Used to be the plug
Since then i've been stuck on you
Tell me 'bout your last 24 hun
Give me plenty notice and bet
I'll be sure to come, sure to come
Like that but it's like that
Don't know why it's like that but it's like that
I don't like that but it's like that
Why it gotta be like that, like that
Like that but it's like that
Don't know why it's like that but it's like that
I don't like that but it's like that
Crying while the snow fell down
But knew a change was coming
I just had to hold out
I'll be damned if this all for nothing
Been damned, so it's all or nothing
Since all was nothing
'Til the awe struck 'em like a bolt
Born for the vaults
Core knew assault centuries before comfort
A rose in poised soil
Sneaks between the toes
Guarding my spirit, no more
A garden my spirit, i'm home
When meditating in it
Amazing intaking what the Source giveth
Reminiscing Raynk got y'all hearing his story
To make history
As the mystery that woke 'em out the antihistamines, and uh
The word his to mean 'high in sight'
Only if three eyes alike
Finding peace like a silent night
Silent, no speak
My energy already confirmed
It's gon' be alright
The damn broke
And so our story continues
One young man traversing the Earth
Will he find his happiness
In peace and harmony?
Like that but it's like that
Don't know why it's like that but it's like that
I don't like that but it's like that
Why it gotta be like that, like that
Like that but it's like that
Don't know why it's like that but it's like that
I don't like that but it's like that
Why it gotta be like that, like that

Soul-low (Black Heart)
03:35
|

Gotta save my soul, I'm into you
When I say it's true, I'm into you
Black heart when I ride on autopilot
Lack heart when I see what you decided
Gotta save my soul
Loving you like no other girl
Flew you right out your world
Wrapped up in extras
Read the paper, there's a war going on
Why you wanna start an infight?
Sun- the purpose is the enlight
Out the darkness, make it right
In the darkness, made a left turn
Travel alone with it, windy the road
I'm seeking water while my house burns
Spotter eject, gotta mind the curb
A spitting reject as I eat my words
Heed this advice
Gotta save myself I'mma let you live your life
Gotta save my soul, I'm into you
When I say it's true, I'm into you
Black heart when I ride on autopilot
Lack heart when I see what you decided
Sun seeker 'til the end days
Sneaking 'round this endgame
The one that's 'boutta send plays
Master pushing P
Can't be early to them gates
Still deserving of the flame
'Til the light chain breaks
Like a Space X disaster
A.K.A. my ways to communicate
Confidently commuted away
That, I'm not after
Find peace in the silence
Pain in the laughter
Eat off defeat of the tyrants
'Til a stain in the rafters
Never eating at the feet of the tyrants
Feed off the violence like raptors
Hatred converter
My likeness go further
And it's enlighten or curve her
'Cause on a dime, I'm a carver
A swerver, not a shape-shifter
But instinct intense when I look in your eyes
Zaza'd, still soul compromised
Blah, blah, I ain't with your lies
You ain't with my life
Now my dearest departed
The fear be my target
And it all started when I opened my eyes
To a heart blackened
Back to blacking
'Til boom bap, snap packing
Cracking, cackling calculating in the crackling Cadillac
Captivating with the wallow raps
Need a girl just to throw, not holler back
She thought I was average Joe
You bat
Wish I was basic
Bet you wish for replacement
Better stick with that lame stuff
When I blow, don't you claim it was your causation
Flaming weighing way before you came in
Was thinking come together
Nah this disintegration
Gotta save my soul, I'm into you
When I say it's true, I'm into you
Black heart when I ride on autopilot
Lack heart when I see what you decided
Gotta hold off 'cuz the goal gone
When I pull up, let it all off
If I lose you and I gain her
What it feel like?
All the same loss
We don't follow all the same laws
Wanna speak up but my jaw locked
When it feel like everything's right
But a whirlwind's forming
You out in the night
'Cuz your autopilot taking flight
It's your method of protection
Protecting yourself from direction
Protecting yourself from the lessons of life
It's your mind that's in question
Black Heart stay bursting
Lack heart, I stay hurting
Deep down love's lurking
But deep down I'm certain it's

Haunted (By You)
02:33

|

(Chorus)
This is one of those days
Something could be out there
Haunted by you
Haunted by you
(Verse 1: Raynk)
A ghost floating in my head
I just had to ask
I just had to get you back
Thoughts on shattered stained glass
Replaying the fights, the past
The nights that went by way too fast
'Til lights out
Why love always feeling like a car crash?
You either killing or saving me
See you're willing to change with me
But timelines not sure if crossed at the right time
No lie
Let your heavenly ways lead me to a cross roads
To find us, seek two lost souls
Hearing you below
Got me oh so cold
Can't seem to stay up when solo
No "oh's" to no surprise
Thought eyes were obvious
Looking into blues with some honestness
Tell me of tongues people talk in
And i'll tell you of truths without caution
'Cause talking out a tailpipe gets exhausting
Ghosted my boo now gotta mask the fact i'm haunted
(Chorus)
This is one of those days
Something could be out there
Haunted by you
Haunted by you
(Verse 2: Oscar IV)
It's a little quieter in here
Memories of you stay fading
Jeapordizing my hope from sitting 'round in my home (Alone)
Blank face, jot and crush
Seal it in an envelope
Landing strip, stripped down, scrap parts
I condone beauty
Ain't no rewind on this movie
Make loving to the thoughts
Tranquility and inner peace
Inner beast frothing and I need to release
Kissing on your body soft, got you showing teeth
Smiling up and see the light
Looking down and see the plight
Cover the body with a blanket like a cold night
Dreaming of your eyes, get a cold sight
Pleasure dripping down
Might not enough for this fight
We need wisdom
You need timing, and I need guidance
Said you had heart
Then why our time get cut short?
Surely this a phase walking down the road 'plaining the whole way
Haunted steps
Honored stepping in the shoes where you once were
(Chorus)
This is one of those days
Something could be out there
Haunted by you
Haunted by you

Crossroads
03:30

I might burn when I leave
In the fall when it changes
To a turn, to a rage
To a burn or a blaze
Off I blast and amaze
It won't last, find my way
All I ask, all I gave
What she say?
What she say?
I should burn if I leave
In the fall, watch her change
To absolve disdain
To prolong this game
Turning on this lane
This road, turning off
Been played, had enough
Can't save, had enough
Can't play it safe
Locked behind bars, still doing the race
In my head gotta pick up the pace
Pick up the pieces 'til the lead erase
LEDs in my face
It ain't bright, i'm just high now
It always gets darker when the light's coming out
Coming up, always feared the come down
Always feared she might leave so I cut her off first
And I know that it burned
Her tears used to cool down
Time used to set ground rules
I'd be a fool to break 'em now
Big surprise, I broke 'em, wow
Who would have saw that coming?
Shawty stay in the oven (damn)
Stay with my ghouls riding flaming waves
Paying my tithes to the pain
Only belief Raynk got left
'Cause that's all three eyes seen on my quest
To annoy death and avoid rest
At all costs press on the issue
Pass me the tissues
'Cause i'm just the sickest
Never 'cause I miss you (Huh!)
I might burn when I leave
In the fall when it changes
To a turn, to a rage
To a burn or a blaze
Off I blast and amaze
It won't last, find my way
All I ask, all I gave
What she say?
What she say?
I should burn if I leave
In the fall, watch her change
To absolve disdain
To prolong this game
Turning on this lane
This road, turning off
Been played, had enough
Can't save, had enough
Done with all of your
Swear i'm done with all of your bull
Playing the victim when that blaze hits
It gets me in full
And the whole spectrum's life changing
Life change in ways you never think of
Longing for the real love
Can't save the one that can't save themselves
They always messing up
Drama heavy on this road
Why you wanna lead me down witchu?
It's all dust and smoke
Say you can't be left alone with your thoughts
Think it's uncomfortable, well
We all gotta grow up one day
If we split paths it'll save face
Throw it all in the flame
And the mark on your arm from the charm that I laid
A reminder of me in the best way
Packing up things and I left, aye
Live out my dreams with the next bae
Life goes on, when you hear this song
Just know I, just know
I might burn when I leave
In the fall when it changes
To a turn, to a rage
To a burn or a blaze
Off I blast and amaze
It won't last, find my way
All I ask, all I gave
What she say?
What she say?
I should burn if I leave
In the fall, watch her change
To absolve disdain
To prolong this game
Turning on this lane
This road, turning off
Been played, had enough
Can't save, had enough

Days off the hot spot
Blazed in the hot box, uh
No, you is not, not
What we on when we drop, drop, uh
'Cause we drop tops every time that they drop in, uh
I'm not popping
'Til the day I was popped in, uh
The day I was locked in, uh
Off this Earth, Spock then, uh
Couldn't spot him
That's a lot dropped, uh
Off the hot spot 'cause we had to make our way
(Had to make a way, had to make a way)
Okay, okay, okay, okay (Ight, let me tell you)
'Til this day I be locked in
'Til this day I be grinding
Trucking through
Reminding, gotta stay on the rail
Blinding those who visions' shield
I've got the vision still
Infi-not, wisdom-willed
Wither with the tether
Ties to time severed
Winner when the weather on side of a rising tide forever
Mental climate in the midst of a pole shift
So when I think this hot I spit the coldest
Don't tell me what bold is
Raynk an introvert tryna' reach millions
Building myself, I don't see ceilings
Just sky lights, aye that's my ride
Throw up the peace sign and then ascend
Been fine, listen a sense for the rhyme
To the rhythm
The shine he's been given
With the lines he's been written
A star, it's been written in the stars from the start
Far from the art that i'm starving my heart
Ark of the covenant
See me as an artifact that they gotta covet
Not staying underground undiscovered
If that's what it takes to be a legend
I'd rather be a current king
Occuring during the lightning
Enduring, insuring the bling, bling
Running through the rumbling, humbling
Wings sting when they're forced out your back
Sick thing
Man sickness attracts
Quick flings with the deaths of your past
Cold lines connected through the hot spot don't crash
Days off the hot spot
Love it or not, huh?
Know you are not mine
What you been on love, stop
I hear the whispers from the block hot
Blocking them all now
'Til the day I see the fallout
Ringing in my ears lately
I feel the buzz but nobody paged me
Rush of blood filling up
Filling up my cup
What elixir? 'Nuff said
Enough in my head
On the hot spot where the fiends pull up
Ain't no friends pull up
Think i've seen enough
Heart of tuff, out the stone where I pulled my lungs
Felt the light touch, man it's been so long
Growing up fast, might have done wrong
Growing up black, maybe you know
On the West side, throw the peace up
It's on the design, all by design
Wearing designer makes you feel alive
Death by dishonor with chains on your mind
Cuff on your wrist, gold on your neck
Now tell me the price
Please tell me the price
Price has gone up
Tell me, you with me or not?
Driving too fast, can't see in the blind spot
Signal from hot spot
And i've got luck with my crop
Yes i've got luck with my crop
My crop
Pay to get even or pay what you owe?
Latin or Greek, Homer seizing the moment, ugh
Leader of life
Caliphate time
Ties run deep and i'm taking it the whole mile
Sun up 'til sun down
Hot spot is my lifestyle
Hot spot is my lifestyle
Days off the hot spot
Love it or not, huh?
Know you is not, not
What you been on love, stop
I hear the whispers from the block
Every time that they drop in, uh
I'm not popping
'Til the day I was popped in, uh

Off of the porch
Off to the Porsche
Off of the Source
Off none of that
Endorse the light way, right way
Fly high as a kite way, might pay
Sitting in the chamber where my heart stay
An iced out art cave
Pay to play the game like an arcade
Better know the name R A Y N K
Not known, how I kill it
Like a Sun God at midday
Born in the late summer sun
The solid one assigned to solitude
The destination exipiration in the simulation
Situation doom
Preparation, never last to make it
Cap, cannot take it
'Cause only facts I'm chasing
That's true
Throwing off a pack of fools like I'm at the gym
Make it easy on you tools like cotton gin
Bite the hand that feeds
That's a universal sin
Luring in and throw in reverse
Call it bait racing
But nah, we don't play with that
Connected to Source
I don't fade to black, I fade to white
Slay shade the vacant knight
Couldn't fortify my fears
Cauterize my tears
But core to rise, I'm near
Borderline top-tier
Shawty fine on the shoreline
But my mind far, far, way from here
Far out, reel 'em in
Space shot in the ocean
And my vessels just floating
But the Source got me open
I'm hoping (I'm hoping)
Playing with the silly putty
Delve in the water 'til it's plenty muddy
Mark of God and the light above
Yet still I wonder "What's the Source?"
Captain steady with the course learning a
Chop all that
Humanity left us nothing
Devoid from the lack of substance
Tall buildings and it's cumbling
Ancient from the ways of muscle
Brolick and
Fighting this feeling inside, I'm calling my lifeline
Reacting- huh, looking to space and time
This is mine
This is my letter to you
Sealed it and signed it
You feel it? I'm aligned with
Divine and righteous
Run the road
Check the Source Code for the Norse flow
Get high as my horse go
Use the force but I'm not forceful
'Cause I don't force
Yet a fire sign, so my nature of force
You wreckon with me?
I'm flaming the scene
I'm burning the set down, R.I.P
Rest in perfection
Da Vinci drew my skeleton
An actual art piece, even in the grave
'Cause through this odd life
Made a way
Rage and pain set him straight
Shooting off a path catastrophic as a stray
Knowing he wrote it, it must hurt you inside
Barely opening my mouth
Truth is an insecticide
Peasant, pay your tithe
Higher than the highest high
High and hold a Horus Eye
Hold your horses I know a conquest
The Source
The Source
The Source
The Source
The Source
This Source timing, three times
Horus eyeing, you know it
Zion where I am
Zaza out the Mylar
Learnt me to admire the mire
If your life's fye, mine's fyer
Ride slyer in slo-mo
Speed by ya, I uh
Know a conquest worthy of a king
Looking for the source of things
It ain't about shiny rings that hold trophies up
Think about what had banded us, bonded us
Abandonment
Sautered trust in the new age
Ain't a lot of us
Just a few days 'til the prophet come
False prophets out there be weak
New land, standing at the peak
Bloody crown, I wipe off the meek
I'm clearing heads off of all you sheep
And taking souls where they need to be
Awaken folks out of endless sleep
Show 'em the Source ain't what seemed to be
So it's soed, reason I reap
The Source
The Source
The Source
The Source
The Source
