(Hook)
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

(Intro: Oscar IV)
Yessir
Investigating the case of loneliness
(Hook: Oscar IV)
Wake up in the morning it's a blessing
Count on my finger days this year that I was stressing
My mind be where the growth, what the lesson
Remember days I used to put myself second
My mental tell me why not go and roll one
You might need something just to keep up your composure
I be in my head all the time
Might need someone who can help
Someone to understand me
(Verse 1: Oscar IV)
0:42 I swoop in like Columbus
Out the blue I make it rain, Tropic Thunder
Got the high score
Quit playing with me, yea
Lightskin and i'm gifted but no Donald Glover
I do my best, take shots stay undercover
IV in his own lane, don't see no others doe
These other rappers is lame, nothing original
But I only say that knowing
That that one individual
Will leave a mark on the world like a branding on a plane meta-physical
Hate the fact that Cole's right, today's gone digital
Never speak about the love
But they love that medicinal
Matter fact
I be in my head all the time
(Verse 2: Raynk)
All the fucking time
Looking like I be fine
Building this buzz like a beehive
But honey might take my own life
Feeling behind, below, so low
Alone, solo, sigh so faded
Isolated, yes, no, jaded
In mind the time always night
Gotta fight to make it out
Sight on taking crown
Light up then we taking down
Any demonic entity, plenty want it mentally
Amply tarnished but fuck it
I'm on this on off, off on so often honestly
Why offing myself seem like the most probable thing
Nah, that's probably a lie
But probability never on the odd side
Probability never on the odd side
Nah, think i'm just high
Stuck in my head
(Hook: Oscar IV)
Wake up in the morning it's a blessing
Count on my finger days this year that I was stressing
My mind be where the growth, what the lesson
Remember days I used to put myself second
My mental tell me why not go and roll one
You might need something just to keep up your composure
I be in my head all the time
Might need someone who can help
Someone to understand me
(Outro)
In my, in my
In my, zone
In my, zone
I be, zone
In my zone
In my, zone hey

(Hook) x2
I see your colors
They shining the best
You know whenever you need me i'll be there guiding your steps
Been a hell of a long time, hit the line and connect with me
Feel this energy, yea
(Verse 1)
Walk around feeling like the hardest ( oh)
Walk around looking like a target (woah)
Put the toy down never bought it
Every last dollar going back to the mortgage (dang)
Why they never gave me a re-run? (why)
Why you gotta mess my day up? (huh)
Like all we wanna do is have fun
Like let me smear up that makeup
I mean, give me some of that coochie baby
JK, just playing
This that Henny talking, my bad
Know you get lonely all in your bed
And know that when I get there legs in the air
Baby girl screaming out yea (Oh yeah)
Shawty got me so high I might just fuck around and trip off that ledge
Cuz I see you shining bright
Never question one word, you my guiding light (my light)
Love it when I stay the night (the night)
Get you under covers (witchu)
Not just any lover (it's you)
Holding it down til the day I link back up with you
(Hook) x2
I see your colors
They shining the best
You know whenever you need me i'll be there guiding your steps
Been a hell of a long time, hit the line and connect with me
Feel this energy, yea
(Verse 2)
I think it's bullshit that I gotta catch a flight (bullshit)
Every couple years, another plane, another vice (and mo shit)
Growing in my head like bruh just take Ma's advice (on that)
Fake it til' you make it no time for bitch in this life (true)
But pass the blunt this way i'm acting a fool
I'm only 20 and you expect me not to break no rules? (fuck you think this is)
But I guess that's life
And however you wanna buy in gotta roll that dice
And whoever supplying better be good with the price (cashing out)
Cause' shit I might just ball out (bitch)
Party real hard til I fall out (facts)
Cup of that goose pour it all out
On the FaceTime hear you call out (she calling)
Told you imma be on the bullshit
So don't know why you trip on the bullshit
Still I got lots to learn in my life
Every day thinking about colors, colors
(Interview)
(Hook) x2
I see your colors
They shining the best
You know whenever you need me i'll be there guiding your steps
Been a hell of a long time, hit the line and connect with me
Feel this energy, yea

(Hook)
It wasn't always sunny
Wasn't always stumble into money
Used to just be Raymond stumble into something
Never one for letting, people tell me what I can't do
Want to count me out, guess they got me on my Dooku
I'm valley living, real talk man give it how you get it
I know some people dying for the mentions
But we ain't never shifting
Major Dealing, mob mentality when you the sole mission
Driving hard kicking New Edition
(Verse 1)
Remember there was reggie in my blunt
Now I smoke the shit the groceries would put me in the trunk
Woke up an hour later, power nap i'm with my chick
Man a nigga feeling parched, hope there's something in the fridge
Man this G Funk, it's speaking to a brother through the lid, yea
Forever from the Island i'm an East Coast kid
Even half a year ago no thought of living like this
Got the stu in my room
Hits come to me then I lay them
Haters chirping on twitter but no I don't wanna hear them
Rather grind up the Buddha, watch crustaceans and chill
And the Netflix docs on the wildlife it gets me hype I swear
I look both ways before I cross the street so I don't end up dead
Your dome piece will never be the same once I shift the gear
Who gon' write the new 'four score and seven years'
Hopefully one of you, that's inspirational
Dim the lights now, boy i'm baking up
(Bridge)
Four corners on the black top
Don't get exposed by these hoes leave the rest out
Flowing coast to the coast bringing necks out
Getting paid with my woes fuck a desk job
Said fuck a desk job
Golden souls and we the next out
This ain't normal dealing
We slanging, slanging
(Verse 2)
Real nigga man you see the chain dangling
Cost me 5000 won, didn't even try it on
Got the bag and dipped, you do the conversion
Since we talking bout' tricks bitch your sleeves is worthless
You ain't on no grind, thirst traps on IG live
But you think a brother on his shit is gon' make time
I only got 24 and I don't divide
Anything if all that you can provide is the pie
Need a woman show me game, help me shine
Cross that old list off, see a bitch that's mighty fine
Right now my stomach rumbling it's dinner time
I been working hard now give me mines
Know success coming, man I see the signs
Might be new to the game, but not new to the map
Traveled round the world then got a boot in the back
(Hook)
It wasn't always sunny
Wasn't always stumble into money
Used to just be Raymond stumble into something
Never one for letting, people tell me what I can't do
Real talk man give it how you get it
But we ain't never shifting

(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

(Hook)
You best to back yourself up, you fucking with the dreamer
And with the flows know nobody coming cleaner
Keep your head well rounded while your body on a cloud
You make me want to do it
You make me want to get it together
With myself and all around
The most intelligent black child hear me proud
Momma raised me up right, now putting my words into mics
Let me tell you, let me tell you
(Verse 1)
Peep game to these hoes we acting indecent
Niggas want me coughed up like chiefing
Bite the dust, powder flows like some Captain Crunch
It's only 8am, we still lighting a dutch
It's like the trench coat walls, pockets lined up with stuff
Tryna' send a think piece to your dome piece
Flashing with a time piece
Will surely get your wrapped up in a timely manner
Keep your ears to the scanner
We both address it, never resolve
Like a shawty do the beckon but never call
What i'm into, she give an effort
To help me uplift they spiritual amentities
You dealing with my energy
Too many moving round' selfishly
How will we ever evolve
We headed west, to the left down the steps we fall
Looking for the next fix then plateau
We making it a movement to grow
As you proceed with the background noise
IV speaking clearly giving freckle face niggas a voice
Boom bap with the ultimate appeal
Nodding heads cuz' the sound be real
Like anything you do for a dollar bill
Be careful round here niggas pack steel
I'm just tryna' skate nigga chill
Tuck myself away, build a home within my bills
Got a taste of the love, I want it now for real
(Bridge)
Want it now for real
One to the two on the mic is how we feel
Three to the four kicking game to the people, that's fasho
That's fasho that's fasho
(Verse 2)
Oh oh okay, pick it up where I left it off
Seen a bitch transform like Decepticon
Thought she riding for me
But nah just riding on me
With her, she never had me lonely
She was digging up the things I had inside me closed up
Look into my eyes try not to erupt
Inside me a temper
Anxious feeling growing as I dial up the tempo
We just met, love tap
Bases, let's run that
But I get that i'm easy going even knowing
The shawties coming when the lyrics flowing
Bet that, name another Island rapper make them turn they head back
We bout that Major money honey relax
Your knight in shining armor riding on a white horse
Then after work cook a dinner four course
Gonna have to make a rain check
I haven't seen you face to face yet
Coming up with these demands
Crazy what you be thinking
Make they man forget the plan like when he drinking
Never forget my Umi held me down
I'm glowing every time I smile now
(Hook)
You best to back yourself up, you fucking with the dreamer
And with the flows know nobody coming cleaner
Keep your head well rounded while your body on a cloud
You make me want to do it
You make me want to get it together
With myself and all around
The most intelligent black child hear me proud
Momma raised me up right, now putting my words into mics
Let me tell you, let me tell you
(Outro)
Got me on my West Coast ting
Santa Cruz, out to Riverside baby wanna groove
San Diego, Berkeley, San Fran, Thousand Oaks and SB
Nobody down for me

(Intro)
Ayo it's Oscar
You already know
Major Dealing, 401
It is 22:38pm in the studio
(Chorus)
Catch me out in California
The real official mister what's his name
That's what you told me
Only 24 to keep the meter going
So don't think that i'll be waiting on you, nah
Catch me out in California
The real official mister what's his name
That's what she told me
Pick a necklace and forget the price
Your body baby I got that on ice, now check it
(Verse 1)
Luckily this Sour D has got me high as can be
I've reached peaks that no others could see
In a couple years I wonder if i'll blend in
To the crowd I mold and influence
Going big but he ain't doing it alone
I got my team with me blowing strong
Keep the strap up on me like I hide a bomb
Burning forest like it's Vietnam
Or maybe he a Kong
Wu-Tang forever then I sound the gong nigga
Aye, okay okay
Slow it down I get so antsy when I speak
I get so crafty, when I talk no less than classy
Wait, you another one of them right
The ones that's claiming true but leave you disassembled when you at your lowest point already, got you rethinking life
Got you plotting on the low like who you fading tonight
I got my heart in an icebox, I don't care bout the price
I want it back, cuz these bitches they don't get the hype
(Chorus)
Catch me out in California
The real official mister what's his name
That's what you told me
Only 24 to keep the meter going
So don't think that i'll be waiting on you
Catch me out in California
The real official mister what's his name
That's what she told me
Pick a necklace and forget the price
Your body baby I got that on ice, now check it
(Verse 2)
How can he be so gold, still in his 20s
I picked my baby a rose, she gave me nothing
This world can be so cold, it gets crummy
I'm on the hunt for a passion that means something
But lately I been lacking in thrills, so keep the blunt lit
And tell that it ain't no fun without my cousins
Got my mind up in the game
Eyes in thousand dollar frames
Taking stress right to the brain
Hard to keep the memories retained
Lost inside a vicious maze
Runner on the brink of paying off my debts
To the devil, heart is black just like the kettle, damn
Don't big bro me like you wasn't streaming bitch you a fan
This my trippy nigga chant
I got double stacks in either hand they weigh like 50 grams
On the world tour first thing imma do is visit motherland, aye
I been breathing 20 years and still i'm living okay
I'm just a monster standing at the doorway, ha
(Chorus)
Catch me out in California
The real official mister what's his name
That's what you told me
Only 24 to keep the meter going
So don't think that i'll be waiting on you
Catch me out in California
The real official mister what's his name
That's what she told me
Pick a necklace and forget the price
Your body baby I got that on ice, now check it

(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

(Intro)
It's like every time, it's like every time I try to talk about it
I find the words but I don't know if they get me
So I try to come up with a different way
(Hook)
See back then I wasn't gon' speak on forever
Lately you been on my mind
You know that, I know that
Let's put that behind us baby
Thoughts ain't gon' get me by
I know that, I know my worth
And you should find yours too
To find some peace, nobody listening
But me, I spread my wings and take flight
Then they wonder, why we get high
(Verse 1)
It's eating, it eats at me frequently
Serious my tone but words they be tongue in cheek
Missing the point, why you getting so defensive
I could write a whole damn book on how you stressing me
Big head I got, big ego it's a lot
You can't handle it I bet
It's only right that I don't get upset
I'm working on myself, kinda sorta maybe
Kinda going crazy in this bubble, pop
Lock in, drop another tab
Weighing on my back again
Let's go another round I drown in my sin
Hey I found another friend, sh- gone with the wind
Many losses make me lesser til' I learn me lesson
But duck it I don't need it got my pad and my pen
I pen, I pen the pages start to blend
Can I make it to the
End this with a message about my lover
Used to keep it public now just undercover, man
(Hook)
See back then I wasn't gon' speak on forever
Lately you been on my mind
You know that, I know that
Let's put that behind us baby
Thoughts ain't gon' get me by
I know that, I know my worth
And you should find yours too
To find some peace, nobody listening
But me, I spread my wings and take flight
Then they wonder, why we get high
(Verse 2)
Waiting on a better tomorrow
Hope it comes and I don't borrow a mood that will sour up the spoils
Hidden treasures I know that they there but never saw them
Who am I leading the people, usually Theodora
Look at me picking a side i'm usually on the fence
Take a stand for myself give a damn if I offend
Cause' long years of being low and get the shorter end
Will leave you jaded on living no more can I pretend
I'm back in the garden nothing but trees and the leaves
No longer guarding my being just please let me be
Only room for growing me and Eve
Running from my problems no more, ain't no need to flee
Turn that bleak perception of life around
Let me see that hand and come this way
I can help you understand, but you gotta give me this
Emotions and everything in between
Let your walls down i'll put you on the finer things
(Hook)
See back then I wasn't gon' speak on forever
Lately you been on my mind
You know that, I know that
Let's put that behind us baby
Thoughts ain't gon' get me by
I know that, I know my worth
And you should find yours too
To find some peace, nobody listening
But me, I spread my wings and take flight
Then they wonder, why we get high
(Outro)
Like I was saying
Come at a different angle
You get a different side, perspective
Way you can interpret information

(Intro)
Alright, sick as a mufucka
Okay
(Hook)
What the fuck you doing with that nigga
You know you can roll with someone bigger
What the fuck you doing with that nigga
You know you can roll something bigger
Seshing got me looking to the ceiling
Ghost OG get delivered
If i'm pouring up, got my people with me
Cognac straight to the liver
(Verse 1)
Okay, handle the weight like a kettle bell
Concerned with the art not record sales
Forget my past life I upgraded
Need to tame the beast that's inside myself
If you got a prospect then hit my cell
If you bout the hating then I wish you well
Nah sike, you more like a dude that
Wish he had this like, wish had green and the flash on the wrist
*censored* got the nugs that that was double my fist
If we talking money you don't speak the language
Tell me how i'm leaving with the bitch you came with
Lil simp
So what the hell you doing with that lame
The OG's taught me stay up in my lane
Tall tales don't get you nowhere you bluffing
Lips moving but they ain't saying nothing, yea
(Hook)
What the fuck you doing with that nigga
You know you can roll with someone bigger
What the fuck you doing with that nigga
You know you can roll something bigger
Seshing got me looking to the ceiling
Ghost OG get delivered
If i'm pouring up, got my people with me
Cognac straight to the liver
(Verse 2)
Said i'm bout my cheddar you should know that
Niggas in the back talking with a blue cap
I'm thinking bout the future, women with me, Kamasutra
Getting dollars with the blue backs
You sold out your homie for a few racks
Creative control, your soul on a blank check
Clout chasing so you steady dissing
Even your music ain't hitting nigga
I be in the booth straight spitting
While your girl passing me the kitten
All your verses sound like dirty dishes
I'm about to clean them in the kitchen
All your weak flows coming up short
You need to hit the backspace, delete and abort
That's a critical mission failure
Don't say I didn't try to tell ya, for real
(Hook)
What the fuck you doing with that nigga
You know you can roll with someone bigger
What the fuck you doing with that nigga
You know you can roll something bigger
Seshing got me looking to the ceiling
Ghost OG get delivered
If i'm pouring up, got my people with me
Cognac straight to the liver

(Hook)
Always circles back to the pad and the pen
Captivating rhythms back at it again
Island born lad, with the flow we gon' win
Mix that heat, emotion make it blend
(Verse 1)
I wrote this on the second floor
Company coming over at four
Reflecting my life in the mirror
The ones that's closest to me thinking i'm going off course
Couldn't live with the arrangements that circumstance gave you, never
Stayed in my own lane, tried to change for the better
Some want to be with, some just couldn't stand the weather
Even the cutie, big eyes and pretty lips
Some want the brain partner but leave your head severed
You think i'm playing, ain't shit funny
Cuz' everywhere you go niggas watch your money
And even back home where I think it's all love
All it takes is one tryna' see me up above
Tell myself it
(Hook)
Always circles back to the pad and the pen
Captivating rhythms back at it again
Island born lad, with the flow we gon' win
Shake it up, shake it up
(Verse 2)
Scratching up my Shake Junt
Homie caught Coronavirus so we switch blunt, that's a bar
Lose your balance from the words of this mixed nut
People want to know if Oscar got the good stuff
Let them know it
(Hook)
Always circles back to the pad and the pen
Captivating rhythms back at it again
Island born lad, with the flow we gon' win
Take me out
(Outro)
Ain't shit funny, nah ain't shit funny
Aye

Whatever you on, that's what I'm on (whatever)

Hit me when you exit, I ain't texting (nah)

This town is dry, where the sellers? (need the weed)

Guess it's me again, back up on my lonely (yea)

I hear your words but do you love me yea (no)
Something keeping me up at night I said

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)
Sell that gas, I got a long list of my clientelle
Stash the box, might fuck around and buy a couple pounds
Everyday we out here getting faded
Destined to be this stoney, wouldn't trade it
(Verse 1)
Kenyan I got the shield, nappy fro on my piece for real
And tell them other hoes stop it, the man is here
High and bright like a chandelier
Hit the Mary three times, start a freestyle poof that's when Ray appear
Only on gas that will burn another layer of the atmosphere
Cut the check let's make beats
Blue la flame on me I got heat
Molotov lighting fires to the corner store
Short on wraps he ain't 21
And he can't afford to make time for a bitch cuz the plane is taking off
Slow it down on the cloud I can't hear you through the smoke
I tell him like
(Pre-chorus)
Lotta goodies wanna flex, ain't no common sense
Reach around you get them hands up like i'm ambidex
In the valley throwing sheets up like a paper press
You fall into they plan, just don't know it yet
(Chorus)
Waiting on a day to float by with my niggas
Waiting on a day that I ain't hide from a killer
No weed, we be on a job for the dinner
If you tuck me bitch aim for the liver, said
Waiting on a day to float by with my niggas
Waiting on a day that I ain't hide from a killer
Proceed, people on jobs for they dinner
Load up in the getaway van, payday
(Verse 2)
Hands in the air trick, screaming out mayday
If you keep it up imma upgrade
Chief Keef blasting, feel tense
See just how fast it gets ugly
And no I ain't talking bout the hugs
I be about the love, not the smothering
There be women in abundance
High-key they be loving the chocolate coloring, yea
Ain't about a dollar it ain't making no sense
Bitch get out my pocket, i'm paying my rent
This frequent flyer nigga tryna make m's
Too secure, offshore got accounts in all seven continents
So much dirty laundry need to wash again
Ain't shit y'all can tell me no more
Keep seshing nigga
(Pre-chorus)
Lotta goodies wanna flex, ain't no common sense
Reach around you get them hands up like i'm ambidex
In the valley throwing sheets up like a paper press
You slave to Uncle Sam, can't escape the fact
(Chorus)
Waiting on a day to float by with my niggas
Waiting on a day that I ain't hide from a killer
No weed, we be on a job for the dinner
If you tuck me bitch aim for the liver, said
Waiting on a day to float by with my niggas
Waiting on a day that I ain't hide from a killer
Proceed, people on jobs for they dinner
Better not lie for the trigger, Oscar

(Hook)
As long as the bass keep kicking
And the hoes keep shaking
And the sun keep raising
Ten toes to the ground never move faking
Put my hands to the Earth
Imma go wherever you take us
(Verse 1)
Imma be a millionaire still washing the dishes
Tripping up stairs waking up with the vision
Flooding in, blinds up
Thinking about, times up
Buzzing on my iPhone bring me out my zone
Think it's time to unplug and give the dial tone
It's been a minute I been waiting for a brother talk so clear
Driving out that fear within him
Working with the circumstance that i'm given
Know there's moments that the family would think i'm tripping
But it's cool, understand that
The system we living in rewards the one that breaks the rules
So tell you if you missing the message
Then you ain't meant to get it
Don't get upset cuz' end of day it's a lesson
Keep the fire close
The one that keeps the ear holes steaming
Kicking game til' the day i'm done breathing
Mr. IV, Mr. IV speaking lively
Cooking up like the 90s
Now listen to me kindly
(Hook)
As long as the bass keep kicking
And the hoes keep shaking
And the sun keep raising
Ten toes to the ground never move faking
Put my hands to the Earth
Imma go wherever you take us, wherever you take us
Wherever you take me babygirl
Don't put on no makeup, nah keep it off
(Verse 2)
Imma transcend beyond my pigment
Holding back feelings no longer delinquent
Paradigm shifter, bring electricity to the stiff ones
Move it out, juke, jive scoot it out
Hip hop 2-step with the movement that i'm dishing out
Candid for the photos
Bring the bottles out we need more of those
Even good men walk with an eye closed, now think about it
Libraries in your pocket, but niggas never seek the knowledge
Rather scroll another page of violence
Try to help, risk of coming off preachy and get the silence
Think i'll do it an hour
Procrastination ain't accomodating what i'm chasing
Laziness shutting me down
Think about your worth, energy you put out
Or better yet think the world for your child
No longer shackled up but yet your mind imprisoned since a-
That's why you always in denial
Rise up in the ranks, get your social status buzzing
Cuz' the hive is right above your head, game pulling on your leg
Cuz' it's all a joke really
And that's why everything out my mouth silly
Pick a coast to reside i'm thinking multi
So when I fly back home i'm known as that guy
(Bridge) x2
Cruise the city in a moonroof
I get the feeling ain't no feeling that we can't do
Try to hold me back let me show improve
Break it down into molecules

(Intro)
Yea, Oscar
Hope you got that lighter
(Hook)
Before you came into my life
You know I tried to make things right
Before I came into your life
(Bridge)
I know you feel it in your soul
Those feelings for me let them go
I know you see me with them other girls
But they ain't my whole world
That's you, that's you baby
Ain't nobody coming close, that's you baby
You know I don't give a fuck about them right
I never gave a fuck about no-
(Verse 1)
Sorry ass nigga, no sorry ass bitch
I'm out here counting my figures
They want a lifestyle switch, look
I hear this all the time you ain't getting none of mines, forreal
Asking about my pockets was when you crossed the line, chill
Ain't spend no time in a cell
My family wishing me well
These blessings, it's so hard to fail
I'm rolling shit deep like Adele, ugh
Got this green all in my cuticles
But they'd rather sit in a cubicle
Open your eyes, there's so much that you can do, man
(Hook)
Before you came into my life
You know I tried to make things right
Before I came into your life
(Verse 2)
Your body language got me anxious
So many places we could take this
But you'd rather stick to the basics
Talking bout I never did this, I know that you're with it, i'm shy and i'm timid
I hope that you're kidding
I seen you hop out of that shell bringing energy ride nice and slow when you finish
And then you smile wide like a dentist
Cheer me up after the lows when I been in my head
Say "yo miss all that shit we should be fucking instead
All of this tension I got it, dissolve it before you go to bed"
Hold on, fucked me up
Did a lot of things with you shawty
First class on the plane, hop on it
Pick her up when she land, tell me I don't need a man
Shawty got her own, she bought it
Independent woman, never need a handout cuz she be with the biz
Funny how I took it
And that's why she fuck with the kid, hm
(Hook)
Before you came into my life
You know I tried to make things right
Before I came into your life

To The Basics (slowed)

(Hook)
Let's take it back to the basics
I see em with my third eye no lasic
We put in work for the payment
Sauced up like we in a spaceship
Let's throw it back, she undressing now
Nothing between us but thin fabric in her nightgown
We tripping out to the Caiman's
Treading blue water shawty blew on me, yuh
(Verse 1)
I was sold a dream, picket fence
Take a briefcase to work making trips
Add it to my list of things i'll never do
Flunking in math now I be steady counting up the decimals
If you gotta say sum, speak it
Bagging up the product got the zip lock reeking
Don't care who be speaking
All my people move in light like a shadow
Word is bond you want the street cred
Don't snitch, don't tattle it's that simple
It's that simple, certified player baby wanna see credentials?
You a work of art, call me Banksy with the stencil
I'm just tryna bridge the gap between me and your pillow
You know
(Bridge)
Yea that's right shawty you know
Let a real one whisper in your ear
Hold you close while my hand dip below
Know these dudes tryna dog you like Cujo
I be with that but if you ain't, just know that's cool tho
(Hook)
Let's take it back to the basics
I see em with my third eye no lasic
We put in work for the payment
Sauced up like we in a spaceship
Let's throw it back, she undressing now
Nothing between us but thin fabric in her nightgown
We tripping out to the Caiman's
Treading blue water shawty blew on me, yuh
(Verse 2)
No room on my schedule, on my time deck
Vikki keep the brownies in the Pyrex
Know these niggas hating do not mind that
Know these women calling gotta find them
They been on my mind as long as hands been chasing time
And my hands sitting idle they been chasing undefined
So they gone go to work i'm wiling out just for the night
Clap clap lights off get in the ride
Real ones only, you either in or step aside
Take it back
(Outro)
We done already took it back
So you better sit down, relax and think on that
We got the Girl Scout, OG, Skywalker, Blue Haze all of that
You had your chance to help out the boy
Don't call me back

(Hook) x2
Remember all the superstars they traveled to the moon
Been a minute swinging back around we coming soon
Pour up, three cup, uncut we
We dominate
(Verse 1)
I guess this my, life now
Wake up, hit that
Lather up, rinse that
Breakfast, I made that
Ain't playing with no fake rap
Rather elevate my mental while these women text a fellow
Smiling wide in all my pics cuz i'm crazy with the dental
Phony ones I never sweat them
Just keep the vibes right up to here
And that means, from ear to ear
Imagine pop of smoke as I disappear
I raise the microphone and you start to cheer
I love to shake my hands with kick and the snare
I'll take your coat just have a seat lil thing
Go ahead and get comfy while I activate my New York swing
So quit asking me to sell off, my mind body and soul
can't take a day off, from growing up and cutting out the lows, yup
It's all about the frequency
In everything you do, good and bad make sure you keep them equally
(Hook) x2
Remember all the superstars they traveled to the moon
Been a minute swinging back around we coming soon
Pour up, three cup, uncut we
We dominate
(Verse 2)
Building up just like an architect
Constructing lyrics, this the best yet
The rhymes is like a voodoo hex i'm leaving niggas vexed
Worried about my wallet, you can't even spell that
Need to get your head on straight
Lord knows my head is straight
We both take out the date
I best be out it's getting late, I tell them every time
It's better to feel it and reminisce ain't gonna lie
Take a risk, let our worlds collide
(Hook)
Remember all the superstars they traveled to the moon
Been a minute swinging back around we coming soon
Pour up, three cup, uncut we
We dominate

(Intro)
*Radio show plays*
Ooh, Oscar
(Hook)
And anything I do you know it's for the culture
Keep it true, never sober
You got something on your mind baby tell me
Fuck it, we're all adults here
Come journey with me to the make believe
Wait, I need to take a sec cuz I ain't living right
My homie says real emotion surpass the hype
And I moved out to Cali just to roll the dice
I know my queen is there awaiting me
(Verse 1)
You see me floating
Off this potent i'm omni-potent
From eastern coasts now in Venice and smoking Cali doja
Stacking snipes on the feed, my bro say keep it going
Just give me 20 and these seeds be growing at my real estate
Plotting out on the long game how i'm getting paid
Major Dealing by then will have come a long way, man
This rapping shoulda been my Grade A plan
Cuz every verse now priceless
Remember back in the day when I walk in it was "who invite this nigga"
Now I stack them god damn figures
Fake friends all around me, switch up
They character, back then couldn't lend an ear to you
To hear a song or two
You'd rather not relax, sit back with a j and get comfortable
I get it, not really
But to argue that would be silly
Never going back and forth unless to shows in the cities
Hoe posing for the photo with her titties, out
Get it, now
I ain't, bout all that hugging and shit that's played, out
Get your mind right and maybe you could last a week
And I don't have to write off another casualty
Looking slime green, with these venom teeth
(Hook)
And anything I do you know it's for the culture
Keep it true, never sober
You got something on your mind baby tell me
Fuck it, we're all adults here
Come journey with me to the make believe
Wait, I need to take a sec cuz I ain't living right
My homie says real emotion surpass the hype
And I moved out to Cali just to roll the dice
I know my queen is there awaiting me
(Bridge)
If you don't give a damn roll a blunt up in your section
Wanna see them hands held up, every direction
If you don't give a damn roll a blunt up in your section
Yea we getting faded tonight
(Verse 2)
Open up the window, palm trees feeling blessed
Smiling wide as I apply the Crest
An artist life is fun I can attest, yes
Keeping up the numbers shits a mess
Luckily the press, ain't caught wind yet
See Oscar IV still in hiding
Not far from legendary where you find me
Want a feature then just ask me kindly, I got you
Linking words that others think impossible
When you know there ain't no stopping you
Breaking records time in chronological order
Trump got us locked but the borders
Won't hold the wave of supporters
That hit the stage i'm performing
Ain't nothing bring our vibes out of order
Oscar
(Hook)
And anything I do you know it's for the culture
Keep it true, never sober
You got something on your mind baby tell me
Fuck it, we're all adults here
Come journey with me to the make believe
Wait, I need to take a sec cuz I ain't living right
My homie says real emotion surpass the hype
And I moved out to Cali just to roll the dice
I know my queen is there awaiting me

A Different Way (slowed)

(Intro)
Some lessons you just gotta go through it on your own
Learn it the hard way
Yeah
(Hook)
The coldest winters got me thinking about my better days
Light the fire feeling lighter til' I levitate
Doing what it do to make a plate, ugh
I always knew there was a different way, yea
Just keep your fingers clean and we'll be straight
All of the goals i've accomplished in the past ain't shit to what i'm saying right now
Seeking satisfaction from an acid tablet
This LSD, you just had to have it
(Verse 1)
They taught me rock the jewelry and the vest
Niggas say i'm gon' fall
But they haven't fade me yet
Feds want me in the box, lift the bar off of my chest
We dying in here, serving out more years than we got left
But don't worry, I be on it
Gold rop around my neck
Slow-mo rolling, no postponing
Bitch i'm banging for a check
All that shit you talk is cap
Be a man you ain't a threat
We catch you leaking when the dots connect, word
(Hook)
The coldest winters got me thinking about my better days
Light the fire feeling lighter til' I levitate
Doing what it do to get a plate, ugh
I always knew there was a different way, yea
Just keep your fingers clean and we'll be straight
All of the goals i've accomplished in the past ain't shit to what i'm saying right now
Get your satisfaction from an acid tablet
This LSD, you just had to have it
(Verse 2)
You won't ever see a nigga have me stressed
Cuz I don't seek my validation from respect
I'm standing by every word that come out my chest
They might pick up a bag and fumble the rest
But I be on it
I ain't hit you back cuz I was zoning, off that marijuana
My home back in Rhode Island why i'm coasting
I live the fast life in slow motion
Stack my paper then I burn it slowly, right
(Hook)
The coldest winters got me thinking about my better days
Light the fire feeling lighter til' I levitate
Doing what it do to make a plate, ugh
I always knew there was a different way, yea
Just keep your fingers clean and we'll be straight, right
It don't matter if we getting paid, no
Love the satisfaction from an acid tablet
This LSD, we just had to have it

(Intro)
Kinda getting hot I need to take this hoodie off
Just another day waking up
IV, turn it up a little bit
Talking to myself though
(Hook)
Just another day, waking up skate
Only two weeks man this shit all changed
Well would you look at that
No more waking up in pain
Stressing about the gains
Man this shit short
Give a thank for the day and keep it pushing now
Keep it rolling on
On the run I can't stay too long, no no
(Verse 1)
I know how it is with the everyday pain
Sometimes you up, sometimes ain't going your way
Do what you can and show love, the best way
See the results and it's easy to have faith
When you up here this long valley views is all I see
Breathe in abundance knowing that ain't nothing
Stopping me from accomplishing all my dreams
Just keep the good words flowing through gap teeth
Baby i've been working hard to get our future in place
Fighting through the tears
Long years of putting up with painful situations
That bring my other baggage in the conversation
Ain't no telling in a couple years where I be laying
Whether in a pine box or an elevator
Of my mansion my name is charting top the paper
Lord knows if that happen i'll keep the family straight
And you won't have to bake
In the summer cause' I got you on the AC
All this from working hella early
In my 20s operating like a vet that's funny, cuz' I am
And this rapping biz I keep it candid
Why i'm gonna fake a move, so the lines outstanding
Rather make them get it cuz the words bred it
That good good I sell it
That bogus talk dead it
That slick talking boy, catching him forget it
Now take a mental note and get to stepping, boy
(Hook)
Just another day, waking up skate
Only two weeks man this shit all changed
Well would you look at that
No more waking up in pain
Stressing about the gains
Man this shit short
Give a thank for the day and keep it pushing now
Keep it rolling on
On the run I can't stay too long, no no

Yeah, this should be better
Yea, mm
[Hook]
Yea i'm Plato playing with Playdoh (playing wit it, playing wit it)
Tryna get out of dodge so that the rain go
And my mind, hope it's stable
Nah don't worry bout me (don't worry bout me)
Yea i'm Plato playing with Playdoh
Tryna get out of dodge so that the rain go (get out the way)
And my mind, hope it's stable
Ain't nobody worry bout me (hoe, hoe)
[Verse 1]
Lighting up in this booth
No shootouts in this room (nah)
Don't worry bout me i'm good
This cess take me to the moon (hah)
Like Dove chocolate it's smooth
Yo shawty with the perfume can I get yo IG?
Out here looking like Blake Lively
I'm tryna picture you beside me
Eric to your Pinciotti, no i'm not (nah)
I've tried a lot
Living 20 years, and I still don't trust a thot (sorry)
I'm Ramsay with the pot
Tom Clancy when I pull recon
Ghosting all, top the charts
You ain't even making top 5 (no no no)
And i'm still broke out here saving dimes (broke ass bitch)
And shout out to the homies that's from Blue Sky Drive (Blue Sky!)
Ash it out the window on the passenger side (not in my car please)
Bitch i'm only taking L's when I ride (that's facts)
[Hook]
Yea i'm Plato playing with Playdoh (yo dawg)
Tryna get out of dodge so that the rain go (if you hearing this)
And my mind, hope it's stable (you dope)
Nah don't worry bout me
Yea i'm Plato playing with Playdoh (just keep on pushing)
Tryna get out of dodge so that the rain go
And my mind, hope it's stable (bitch ass mothafuckaaaa)
Ain't nobody worry bout me
[Verse 2]
Copping shit that you can't afford (you can't)
Swiping cards got a bank or four (I got it)
Travel safe in my Honda Accord
Got a bitch in every country round the world (for real)
Finna pop up in your city, teleport (zoom!)
Gas you up like that
Give you backstrokes and it hit right back
Play it nice girl no talking back (yea, yea, yea)
Ganja blowing in the hotel just tip em' plenty and we're on our way (moving!)
Out of pocket like loose change
Send my condolences, I've been composing since roses and violets from poems were made (oooh wooo!)
Throwing it back, second grade
Osky and the homie conjured up a melody to knock the kiddies off they feet
(but that was like twelve years ago)
Talking crazy, sound like fiction (fiction)
I been known for many words (Words)
She like my herb and diction (my diction)
In da cut, like incision (snip)
Indica, by prescription (gas)
That blue dream it heal me
My real stoners they feel me (yea they do)

(Pre-Chorus)
I ain't really talk a lot, knowing that these clowns in my face they phony
Maybe you can blame it on the drugs, but i'll never take a break they calm me
*cough*
All I need is a light and my Tobi
(Chorus)
Bricks on my blocks they been weighing me down, no pressure
Peace to my friends they ain't acting the same, no pressure
Careful this shit is adjusting my brain, it's really no pressure
Let's drop the title and all of the games, no pressure
(Verse 1)
No pressure baby
I know you wonder why I don't quit
You been holding on so strong
I think it's about time we make amends
Forget all those negative things from the past
That moment has passed us
Shot for the stars now i'm stuck in the rafters
Hate the stigmas that come about being a rapper
Say "i'm with you" then laugh at you after
Turning my back on leeches that feed off your energy, spiral you into disaster
You hate me, i'm faded
Your mentality dated, come out of that plain shit
And step into the light
With me we be going all night
See your nigga talking crazy imma switch it up
Tell you where your legs are going before I even pick you up
See you kinda hesitant until we get to lighting up
Open like a book, you had me at the back cover
I was sleeping for a summer
Had you all up on the dm and the text
Mans got to fumbling I had to intercept
You a bag baby girl and this is not a test
Holding you, it just take away the stress
Man that shit be crazy
(Pre-Chorus)
I ain't really talk a lot, knowing that these clowns in my face they phony
Maybe you can blame it on the drugs, but i'll never take a break they calm me
Number one smoker I don't need no trophy
All I need is a light and my Tobi
(Chorus)
Bricks on my blocks they been weighing me down, no pressure
Peace to my friends they ain't acting the same, no pressure
Careful this shit is adjusting my brain, it's really no pressure
Let's drop the title and all of the games, no pressure
