(Intro) *Kevin Abstract*
Long nights got my mind in the wrong in the place
Next to EaSy, next to Sage
We all want first place
Who gon get it? The whole fam.
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

(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

(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

(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
