(Intro)
Here's that boy Oscar, on that brand new EP
We ain't just on SoundCloud no more man
You have to give it up for that one
(Verse 1)
Here is an apology
To anybody that ever hated on me
Imma keep your words close like a homie (like the homies)
Real quick to judge when you in the background
So it's sorry cuz we can't speak, you don't know me (fuck outta here)
I keep a blade on me like i'm holy
On a crusade slaying anybody who don't give a fuck what you say
Feel like this is what i'm meant for i'm serious
They missing it like a period (aw shit)
Got the angelic chant I cast away the fear in it
The sky is a lame limit (it's not enough!)
They want you bowing down, be a nobody, remain timid
The cycle that we live in vicious (fucked up)
But i'll be here
Sketching these 16's while in my underwear
Never care, never fear another man (nope)
Unless it's God himself I see him every time I look in the mirror (I am him)
I'm going koo koo as far as I know
Got the wrinkles too put me in a group home
I might sample like a new cologne
I'm getting stoned doing damage either, smoked or thrown
You better, pack the bong a nigga, never know (no)
If this could be his last day, shit, so i'm gone (yea)
Fighting the feeling withstanding any weather
Don't force anything if they care they'll remember, yea
Don't force anything if they care they'll remember, yea
And this is for the 401, it goes like
(Hook)
Baby, we could have done better
We needed reflection
I mean that sincerely
(Verse 2)
Yea, we could have done it better
You turned to the rats and I turned to the cheddar
Saw it as the worst but am I coming back, never
Could have been locked up and you wouldn't have sent a letter, damn
I guess this where we falling now
It's been a couple years since our falling out
In my notebook, starting writing poems but I couldn't get your attention so I drew a crowd
Can you hear me, I mean can you feel me
A lot of people sitting on potential hope they hear me
Pouring millions down the drain just to put it simply
Regret when they hitting heaven's gates really really, Oscar
(Refrain)
Regret when they hitting heaven's gates, really really
They really really
They really really out here, really really out here yea
(Hook)
Baby, we could have done better
We needed reflection
I mean that sincerely

(Intro)
401
May my words be my bible (my bible)
And the truth come from within
Need engagement for recital (recital)
And some extra dough to spend
So i'm in the studio all day and night
Like Rufio waiting for that knife
Gotta watch yo back cuz the great advice
Could be another plot just to take your life
(Verse 1)
Had to seal the deal on my own (my own)
Youngin' in the game but i'm grown (i'm grown)
On the road to riches speeding with the rhythm chasing bitches down with petrón
And I got vices (yup)
Been so caught up in the moment driving like I stole it I forgot my license
Off my rocker, high as I write this
I'm really too young to be dealing with crisis
Wonder just how dark it really gets
Keeping up the pace of setting trends
Feel the burden on my shoulder damn it's getting hard and if the devil knock i'll let him in (woah)
But ain't no way imma let that happen
Gained so much tryna chase my passion
Got my bars right, wear them proudly i'm the captain (the captain!)
Look at me, this is my vessel (my boat)
Break bread with my fellas
Hell nah I won't let up, won't let up no
No peer pressure, I ain't falling for your thirst traps (nope)
Saved up and got a new whip painted all black
I won't let up, won't let up no no
(Hook)
On the track, hear that shit, rewind it back
Show me them tits he signing that
You're in good hands so just sit back
Let me do my thing
On the track, hear that shit, rewind it back
He be the star like quarterback
Got the Bruins on my cap
Let me do my thing
(Verse 2)
Ray so fresh he so clean clean
Freshman burst up on the scene
Miss me with that XXL, five minutes of fame don't motivate me
I'm more in it for the hip-hop culture and if I get the chance imma go to Jay-Z
Show him my remix and if the man feeling it
Imma sign right then and there for the weed (hah!)
Just playing (no i'm not)
But if you would, hear me
I know at times the boy can sound, crazy
It would be a little harsh to blame it on me
Cuz when you in a place where you ain't got a name just a face in a uniform and every two weeks battles start blasting off
Pack up and do it again, it's clear he ain't got no sleep
So he be
(Hook)
On the track, hear that shit, rewind it back
Show me them tits he signing that
You're in good hands so just sit back
Let me do my thing
On the track, hear that shit, rewind it back
He be the star like quarterback
Got the Bruins on my cap
Let me do my thing
(Verse 3)
Okay, let me back it up
2017 handed my diploma (diploma)
Girl scout was my aroma (aroma)
That summer lit as fuck (as fuck)
Three deep in the Corolla (my whip!)
Started rushing all of my fun cuz in three months the boy's a goner (i'm gone!)
Took the plane to SC
Drill sergeants all up on me (on me)
Starting pushing on the floor, look back up and i'm on a flight to AZ (AZ!)
All of this training, and i'm getting paid no complaining
Had a lot of fun right there, but that wasn't nothing to what was coming next year
Yea that was Korea! (Korea!)
Said that was Korea! (Korea!)
I was on the night shift bitch, kicking my feet up (my feet on a desk!)
Met a lovely woman I give hugs when I see her (I love you)
And now i'm in Cali telling my story to people
That's why i'm
(Hook)
On the track, hear that shit, rewind it back
Show me them tits he signing that
You're in good hands so just sit back
Let me do my thing
On the track, hear that shit, rewind it back
He be the star like quarterback
Got the Bruins on my cap
Let me do my thing

Til' My Clock Stop

(Intro)
Even though we split roads and all that
(Verse 1)
Momma I made it
Started from the bottom all on my Drake shit now we the top of the playlist
Remember the cold nights, got my eyes closed
Nothing given I prayed it
Then I put the work in, while the moochers get to lurking
Cashing the royalty check, so my momma get a Birken
But the man still gotta pay the rent
Big brother want 10%
The struggle is evident
Courts be burning the videos, shit
So much for the evidence
Got my niggas doing real time
I'm hoping you hear this shit
We all came from a struggle, whether you stepping up that's another
Use that line as a motivation, climb up out of that rubble
Pour one out
For the homies that will never make it out the gutter
And hold no doubt
Do your best, the riches are coming aye
(Hook) x2
I see the lies, I feel paralyzed
No matter how low I got hope though
Seeing with my eyes, all this sacrifice
Smiling through the pain I got hope though
(Refrain) x2
Imma run the world til' my clock stop
Imma run the world til' my clock stop
Imma keep it pushing til' my clock stop
Imma keep it pushing til' my clock stop
(Verse 2)
Started from the bottom all on my Drake shit
Remember the cold nights, got my eyes closed never giving up
Then I put the work in
Royalty check, my momma get a Birken
Still gotta pay the rent
The struggle is evident
So much for the evidence
I'm hoping you hear this shit
We all came from a struggle, whether you stepping up that's another
Climb up out of that rubble
To my homies that will never make it out the gutter
Do your best, the riches are coming, aye
(fade out)

Loyalty (feat. Raynk)

(Hook: Oscar IV)
Leaning out in my estate
Need more drugs for my escape
I'm the king of my fate
You can touch but cannot take
I been dosing off a lot I mean it's hard to stay awake
Everybody want a piece until there's crumbs up on your plate, yea
(Verse 1: Oscar IV)
They like damn Ray
You in Cali, you a rapper, you be living life, you the man Ray
Up until the boy big broke and there's nothing really I can say
Only thing I care truthfully about is what my homies and fam say
Cuz they care for me (they care!)
And they shed for me (they shed!)
Real tears, when I left that year
It's loyalty over everything and imma put that on anything that try and test me (anything!)
Go ahead, pull the trigger I been waiting for shit to get messy
And when you see me at the top, don't start to act friendly
(Hook: Oscar IV)
Leaning out in my estate
Need more drugs for my escape
I'm the king of my fate
You can touch but cannot take
I been dosing off a lot I mean it's hard to stay awake
Everybody want a piece until there's crumbs up on your plate, yea
(Verse 2: Raynk)
Yea, til' there's crumbs up on my plate
Imma give and never take
Imma live fully awake
Imma be aware of fakes
Imma know who has my back
This year felt a knife in that
This year I had a knife in that
Had to pull it out myself
Had to put them feelings all on a shelf
I know that, these just the cards I was dealt
I know life's not always all about help
Sometimes it's the ones who aren't so loyal who help
Mark the soil where the treasure is buried
In your heart, just forgive them can't carry
Burdens, barely staying up
With this shit that's holding me down right now
But fuck it, got my squad and they proud
Every time I put out, another project
They like Raynk, you is the best
Sometimes hate myself
They tell me i'm next
Sometimes question myself
They tell me just trust, don't stress
Matter fact bitch hit this cess
(Hook: Oscar IV)
Leaning out in my estate
Need more drugs for my escape
I'm the king of my fate
You can touch but cannot take
I been dosing off a lot I mean it's hard to stay awake
Everybody want a piece until there's crumbs up on your plate, yea

(Intro) x4
I been out driving
You be right by me
Keep it on topic
We remain solid
(Verse 1)
Whatever you on, that's what I'm on (whatever)
I ain't fetching darling, please throw a bone to me
Hit me when you exit, I ain't texting (nah)
I ain't gon pursue you fucking up my set list (I won't)
This town is dry, where the sellers? (need the weed)
Where the sellers?
Where you coming from, your origin, backstory?
Where we smoking?
Good views, mandatory (need that)
Me and Mary we in holy matrimony (i'm always with her)
Guess it's me again, back up on my lonely (yea)
(Hook)
I know you hear me do you trust me yea (no)
I hear your words but do you love me yea (no)
Something keeping me up at night I said
I hear your words
(Verse 2)
I gave you all and then got nothing, no (nothing)
Gave you my trust and then you let me fall (damn)
Now i'm out here looking like a fool
I thought that things were different between me and you (damn)
Let's keep it moving, another day, another lesson
Wish you blessings on the road you heading (bless)
Wake up thinking bout you
Ain't really bout to hit you on my celly but you know I want to yea
You can keep the hoodies that I gave you dear (just keep em)
There're more where that came from
And even though we had a great run
I got a call, something came up
(Hook) x2
I know you hear me do you trust me yea (no)
I hear your words but do you love me yea (no)
Something keeping me up at night I said
I hear your words
(Outro)
Wait a long time and
Park in my driveway
Learning my lessons
Even through losing
Wait a long time and
Park in my driveway
Learning my lessons
Even through losing you
Even through losing you

(Intro)
I'm just gon' wrap it up
Mad that the kid ain't black enough, I got activist in my
Nah fuck that
We gotta close out this one right
(Hook)
Don't know what to do with you (what to do!)
Can't stop won't stop
Don't know what to do with you (what to do!)
Fall with it let it drop like
(Verse 1)
Answered all my prayers
Hear you loud and clear (I hear em!)
Shit sound different with 1,000 dollars in your ear (what's that?)
Would you play my music if I up and disappeared (oh hell nah)
Guess we'll see, yea
My bad it's been a long day (long day)
Genie done rubbed me the wrong way (the wrong way)
None of these dudes with the gun play
Boy you got bamboozled with the pump fake (pump fake)
After the sesh i'm snoozing, start cruising, drift off and levitate (high as fuck)
Took a new snap, but i'm in the old frame, i'll paint a new picture I just ain't the same
Paved a new lane, on a new thing get up out my way
Mark the day this tape drop I declare a holiday
The goal is making honest conversation commonplace
All you see is genuine you look into my face (i'm real as fuck boy)
I'm skipping all my classes
To preach my verbs' to the masses
Hitting open mics for the practice
I've studied all of her tactics
Cultures and ancient theology, themes in ecology
My glass is filled up so when I travel round the atlas she say
(Hook)
Don't know what to do with you
You can't stop, you won't stop and I just
Don't know what to do with you
You fall, then you get back up like
(Verse 2)
Yea, gotta get back up
Quick dust off or they might catch up
They wanna box you in your sector
Might wanna peep game, this a head's up
Not talking bout the game on foreheads
Red dot on your mind, bitch you're dead
Curb stop finna' leave you spoon fed
Spend the rest of your life on pain meds (ooh wee!)
That's where they wanna keep you
Man these fakes deceitful (they fake)
In these streets they'll eat you
Don't show love if they only call when they need you
Word to Mojo the brain so evil
Stealing the show when I hop on features
We in an age of the internet people
These kids don't know shit though, where's the teachers
Underpaid, and giving up
We say life's a joke, that's why we lighting up
Stiffen up your lip, boy you better toughen up
The world will never give you handouts, you need to take a buck so they don't
(Hook)
Don't know what to do with you
Can't stop won't stop
Don't know what to do with you
Fall with it let it drop like
Don't know what to do with you (what to do)
You can't stop, you won't stop and I just (i ain't never stop)
Don't know what to do with you (what to do)
You made for this life, Sincerely

Riding from the sunset feeling like the man
Girl what you waiting on, you tryna make plans?
Lifting up the freezer, cold bottle in my hand
It's just another day, yeah
Riding from the sunset feeling like the man
Girl what you waiting on, you tryna make plans?
Rolling up a spliff, thoughts of you come to my head
It's just another day, ayo
(Verse 1)
Just another day, mark the calendar
Spark another j i'll hit it after ya
2012 brodie wasn't popular
'you better see the light', now the people know the mantra
Wired all night like a monster
Opened up the doors, I just need a skate sponsor
Cuz i'm always on my grind
50/50 might be lying
Double take, she a 9 woah!
Pockets full of dead presidents
Be gunning for the money don't be hesitant
We ain't never worry bout the payday
Another 24 to put my life on an 808
You don't ever know they real motives
Better keep your mouth closed, just to be safe
Keep a balance of the love and hate
Osky got the gold just lean back while I demonstrate
This a stoner joint player
Keep the RAWs on the dashboard, gimme my paper
Off a gram on the gram
Blowing up for the fam
Hit the woah for my folks
Like, this my money dance aye
(Refrain)
I'm smoking for the escape
The world is so treacherous I can't relate to the-
I'm smoking for the escape
This world is so cold
I can't relate to these people they flashing they badges they blasting and cases they vanish like magic
(Verse 2)
But we ain't worried bout it nigga
Karma come around they get just what they dishing out my nigga
Not a flex, so complex we in the magazines
Whipping the corolla but for now i'll take the bus, fiends!
We rotate, you back out
We pull up lay smack down, you pay me for track outs
The 401 calling! My state got no name
Handicap like Hawking, still Osky put his all in
(Bridge)
If you ain't read it minimize the page and do your googles boy i'm coming up, Check tha Internet I said it
I said Check tha Internet I said it
I said check the, yea
(Outro)
Make sure you check that Instagram for that instant gram of dopamine
Keep tabs on people posting up the highlights of they life like it's all alright
Social media is a drug
And if you don't moderate, it will medicate
And it will leave yo ass comatose, just like that good herb you be smoking on, huh?
Peace and love, Oscar
