Touring London to Amsterdam Living life to the fullest, not giving a damn Feet in the sand On my Jeezy shit, I need a vacation, Making money off all of our creations That's my interlude Let the homie Jan break it down (Bridge) *Kevin Abstract* So this is what being the best feel like. Sometimes I forget that this is real life Might as well make the best of your night Cause you're messing with the best, alright. (Verse 1) *Kevin Abstract* I got my eyes on greatness Got these kids waiting Ya'll been so patient Tryna see us make it Take six, take a break Made six, maybe eight Albums and mixtapes Fuck any mistakes It's a new day, so i'm going off New whip, new chick, so you showing off That's a lambo, how you get that? What's on your back though? Them some new tats? These artists make me sick to my stomach No subliminal, say what I want, come get it if you want it It's Ojay, I mean, it's okay To diss some teenagers who have gotten really, really far and Performing parks to bars, fans packing up they cars, driving really really far, just to see some young stars on stage, going crazy Misbehaving, and you hating? Really dog you hating? This is what I say then (Chorus) *EaSy/Silantro Bleu* I'm just feeling really proud right now Got the right to scream it loud right now Ain't nobody finna get up in our way right now Got our music being played up out of state right now Over came all the long steps to making it happen This one's for all you listening who hated our rapping Ain't nobody finna get up in our way right now Got our music being played up out of state bow down (Verse 2) *EaSy/Silantro Bleu* Choices in the air At the point where I don't care Yet they act like they were to choose the rest of my career And they might, but I've run out of shit to hear So I'm just tryna make the music I'll be playing all next year Spin 180 on these bitches we came such a long way It ain't dead, the game just switches, we're just adding new plays Will it get us a touch down? We're Both guaranteeing on it Will it get us a Superbowl? We're currently praying on it What's to happen in the future? We're currently laying on it I don't know Got the plays, but need the quarter back to see what he can throw MJF has helped with getting out a name for T U O or O U T Acting famous, I forget shit Pardon me Fuck all of you bitches hating Cliche but I really mean it I bet if we were to make it you wouldn't Already seen it start to change with a couple of ya'll But I'm still treating ya'll the same with the fuck and an all Bitch (Chorus) *EaSy/Silantro Bleu* I'm just feeling really proud right now Got the right to scream it loud right now Ain't nobody finna get up in our way right now Got our music being played up out of state right now Over came all the long steps to making it happen This one's for all you listening who hated our rapping Ain't nobody finna get up in our way right now Got our music being played up out of state bow down (Breakdown) *EaSy/Silantro Bleu* Oh that feeling when it starts is the coolest Bout to blow your mind to the fullest What's about to come like oh my god, ya'll are clueless Ever since I started I worked up to tryna do this Well I did it, now I'm with it (x4) (Chorus) *EaSy/Silantro Bleu* I'm just feeling really proud right now Got the right to scream it loud right now Ain't nobody finna get up in our way right now Got our music being played up out of state right now Over came all the long steps to making it happen This one's for all you listening who hated our rapping Ain't nobody finna get up in our way right now Got our music being played up out of state bow down

Do It 03:44
(First Verse) - *EaSy/ Silantro Bleu* Sophomore year, got one year down Ya'll can't hear that one year sound Two boys one light skinned one brown No help, so we built our own shit on ground Spend money, but I got it all back Selling out our albums, so we falling on track Think about ourselves only what you're all saying Give it up for the only two kids not playing Drop one track and ya'll thinking we ill Then come back ya'll don't fuck with us still See we're getting better with the changing of the time But ya'll wouldn't spend a dime on the shit that we kill But we went on and on cause of ya'll To watch you watching us fall Placed us in, gave our all Then left us when we got no call But we still at it, that ain't changing Things I'd rather keep maintaing Way too far from the top of the game But I'm way too high to just hop out the plane Keep on flying don't you stop To keep on trying is all we got So I'm standing in line, will I get my spot? (Yes) When the fuck I'll make it up top? (Next) (Chorus) - *EaSy/ Silantro Bleu* Everyone's tried (x2) (Second Verse) - *Kevin Abstract* Follow them dreams Chase those screams Treat them phenes With everything That you made Can't stay safe in a world full of pain Stay consistent they'll remember your name In a couple years this will be your game Stadium status is where you aim Mayne, life goes by Time goes by You get high Can't think right This ain't life In ya inner circle ain't one thing fine Sip that wine Hit that line Anything make up these times She look fine Hit it once You in love after one night Pretty sad how this love die Pretty bad how this hoe lie Just to get next to the guy That's confused But he buy her shoes Louis Bag with the strap back too Even got you in a snapback too Not a slap back, backslap type of dude When he heard that you cheated, ol dude played it cool It's time to face it, no one's finna change it It's time to go on, It's time to go on No one's finna change it (Chorus) - *EaSy/ Silantro* Everyone tries (x2) (Outro) - *Kevin Abstract* OhoHohohOhoHohOH

Today 03:32
(Verse 1) *Kevin Abstract* Turn the lights on Turn my mic on Throw on TKs Skate before the night's done Suck at it In the attic Stuck rapping Tryna make a classic Something that resembles Illmatic I have no reason to doubt That my debut won't be as profound as Reasonable Doubt Want a big screen, ice creams, white T's And a brand new couch And a big ass house For my family Even though we drive each other to insanity Davieon go loco, get him on somo Loco's Big D go H.A.M., if the nigga ever see ham Dre gon say what the nigga say We the souths N.W.A. (Chorus) How do you feel today? If you feel bad let the negative just float away What exactly are you tryna do? I know it sucks that people can't handle you But I know that you'll manage through So come on (Bridge) *Kevin Abstract* Goooooooooo So lets go Gooooo So lets go Goooooooooo So lets gooo,ohwooh (Verse 2) *EaSy/Silantro Bleu* Turn the cameras on I'm right back I'm Still waiting on danny to call back I'm Still spending my time all on one track And I'm not even given a penny for all that. I'm standing right by the phone on 24/7 basis For now I'm all on my own with nothing to do but face it Ill give it till I'm a senior for music to get me places, Then I'm off to the life of a boy who didn't make it See I act like I'm livin it all I only fake it I got nothing but a mic and a dream that I've been chasing Then its life, been hearing it all along, The shit that I'm doing now is meaningful later on, They say I'm already made then tell me that they were wrong, what I thought would happen quick is taking me very long But I really do think with the shit that we say In a way, we the souths NWA aye.

Real World 03:48
(Intro) *Kevin Abstract* Yo Austin, this one feel good I like that (Verse 1) *Kevin Abstract* 13 had some goals figured out 15, Now I'm living half them goals out Only thing we need now is a talent scout To seek out Everything Outsiders is about Here it go, let ya mind be free O U T in the place to be Ignore this life, escape reality That way I don't let a lame get to me (Bounce) All alone tryna think of deep shit Metaphors, similes, really all that weak shit But hollup Here go my little secret If it ain't deep to me, then it don't mean shit At 9, I became obsessed with these times Time to time take trips through my mind It's all right in this world of mine, mine (Chorus) *Kevin Abstract* I be up, up Up in my world, for some days Til I decide to Come right back down, to this crazy place Society, calls Reality But I hate it, ohh, ooh I hate it, I hate it (x2) (Second Verse) *EaSy/Silantro Bleu* People looking too ahead of things Talkin' bout the life we got, saying we got everything See I'd like it more if that alarm wouldn't ever ring Get a mix of both and you'll be wishing you ain't ever sing Work off on our own, yet they're tryna give me bullshit School shit Knowing that ill probly never use shit. What to yalls a privilage we see as a confusion We're just tryna figure out how we'll ever take over Houston But not in this room we're tryna get up and outta here Tryna leave soon yet hoping that we'll be at it still Funny I predicted by now we'd already have a deal, Stories heard, honestly don't even know on how to feel I be wasting my life, well as least that's what it feels like Why I'm still in school? Even I don't think it feels right. Hearing yall complaining "there's no point on learning history" When I'm already making money School don't mean a shit to me I gotta do it. (Breakdown) *Kevin Abstract* And I Can't stand it here (x6) Won't manage here, won't manage here, yeah. (Chorus) *Kevin Abstract* I be up, up Up in my world, for some days Til I decide to Come right back down, to this crazy place Society, calls Reality But I hate it, ohh, ooh I hate it, I hate it (x2) (Outro) *Kevin Abstract) Ayo, this one feel good

Inspiration 03:50
(Verse 1) *Kevin Abstract* You can lower the lights That'll make me feel alright Ya favorite teen sensation Back rapping bout inspiration preaching to the whole nation On how we steady chasing Dreams created So we hold on to our fate Feel the pain in every tape Every song that we sang Every girl at a show That we throw Cause we get a little dough So my sweater still is, very huxtable (Slow it downnnnnnn) More inspired by art, than Pac throwing up W'z Introduced you to EaSy, "Kevin are we hearing double yous?" Well now our sound is unique Catch me on a balcony Reaching dreams that King wanted me to seek I preach for the kids like me And the ones like Screech I preach For the kids who'd rather write raps in the bleachers Diss the teachers Not pack no heaters Inspiration (Verse 2) *EaSy/Silantro Bleu* Target to many they hate me say they can't stand me but Haters there's plenty, supporters a few of any, just Keep pursuing what you believe in Sad to say they're willing to bring you down to get even Never again will you live to reach your dreams the way you planned it, to Fall cause of hate is to give away the life that you got handed So why do it? Instead you should look at people you admire They're successful cause they only took the hate to take them higher Put myself down in the past, lucky not to give in I was at the doors and almost took my only chance to get in And I look back and think like, "wow, now wasn't I silly then?" When til this day I'm having thoughts of never rapping again Was told I sucked by a friend But now I'm sure to never let them take me with them Opportunities like these only certain people get them Took my time to share my views on Motivation in the past But now I'm sure we need some inspiration just to last and go fast
