(Jahizzi) Picture the moment It's 2:30 in the mornin Weed and the wine So the both of us are zonin Love potion and the chemical is potent And I’m Fumblin wit the keys but the door finally open Then we stumble to the sheets Throw the clothing to the floor and Jahizzi is all I hear you moanin Moonlight lit up the room like it's morning And we’re floating on a cloud like the both of us are soarin Flowing, and my heart is ever knowin cuz my pulse is never slowing and the both of us are glowing Exploring, your every little curve I just wanna be the center of your world, and, Bask in your glow, dance with you slow Your lovin gets me high like blowin the dope In the shower wit the soap Enough towel for us both Dry you off another hour on the floor Like a flower by the shore Its Your beauty they adore We just met but my heart is wanting more It's not a dream girl it's lucid to the core A picture perfect moment that's too real to be ignored Chorus - (Riki) I could have never thought that it would ever be this way two people same place this life has been written on a page i never wanna be awake so real that's its almost fate i just wanna feel your face because tomorrow we will fade (Jahizzi) layin' awake while you sleep in your perfection lookin at our bodies and difference in complexion I’m happy in the moment but i'm fearin' your rejection but for now i hope you're dreamin' bout the truth of our connection where's the lesson, tryin' to comprehend your entrance into my life but its only for an instant mentality ascended reality i'll bend it put us back in the future now we right at the beginning sinnin', but your love is my religion you got me flyin' like an eagle when i used to be a pigeon you got me livin' like a mothafucka died got me chillin in the moment like i never even tried opened my eyes, washed em clean like the tide flipped my world around now i can see the other side i was blind, too focused on the time when the girl i fell in love up and left it all behind i'm gettin tired i wish i could call you mine wanna keep you on my mind but i can see the sunshine

When the morning comes through my window Hear the birds sing and the wind blow There's a thing I wish that you did know I wish I could see you again When the moon shines in the dark night As you stand alone under streetlights Take my hand, hold me and squeeze tight I will never see you again When the morning comes through my window Hear the birds sing and the wind blow There's a thing I wish that you did know I wish I could see you again Now the dawn it breaks in a cold sweat left alone with love that was perfect as I breathe i wish that i'd forget i will never feel you again When the morning comes through my window Hear the birds sing and the wind blow There's a thing I wish that you did know I wish I could see you again This field of dreams passes me by My eyes drink the red of the dark morning sky This field of dreams passes me by My eyes drink the red of the dark morning sky This field of dreams passes me by My eyes drink the red of the dark morning sky This field of dreams passes me by My eyes drink the red of the dark morning sky

Clear Skies (free) 03:57
(Jahizzi) All alone and I’m sittin’ by the bay Sittin by the place where I first kissed her face I got a blunt to help me fade away My sky’s gray Man, I thought about her yesterday Green eyes like an emerald jade Mixed, with a blue from the emerald bay She wanna go but I begged Baby girl please stay She said, I can’t jay It’s never gonna work this way She had the, soft skin that was kissed by rays And the, sunset hair that fell to her waist And for a minute I remember thinking life was great And then the girl broke my heart like that shit was a plate She was a, beautiful girl Like a beautiful pearl She always smiled and saw the bright side of the world And when we danced You know I loved watched her twirl And when she let her hair down I loved watching the curls She made me, think, that I could really do it any problems, I could push through it if I had dreams she said jah pursue it but then she left me alone and I’m feelin’ hella foolish like damn, I knew it fuck it, I blew it they said I shoulda took my time but I dove right through it you know you gotta learn to float before you can swim so now I’m drownin in her love cuz it was full to the brim (Jahizzi) So I’m, sittin here watchin’ waves roll by Couples walk past Matchin stride for stride If it was a movie I guess I’d cry But life is a struggle so these tears are dry And the past comes back like the ocean’s tide So you can look into my eyes and see the girl wave bye It’s like a mirror with the moment still burned inside And now I’m something like a man whose hope just died And all I want, is a solution for the pain Solution for the brain Like the sun after rain Ridin’ on a train with no final destination No elation, relation, no salvation Just chasin’ the girl of my dreams I close my eyes and she’s close and it seems Like I could have, maybe in another life Its kinda slight, but maybe she could be my wife Not tonight, forget about tomorrow Forget the sorrow, good times I’mma borrow From memories and the time we shared My heart is bared and I just wish she cared

With Birds (free) 04:06
(Jahizzi) Spark spliffs wit the heat of the guitar riffs I’m finna mark this like the street when the car shifts 6th gear now we’re pickin up pace Dj will you please drop the bass for their face Back to the matter at hand Up in the passenger seat Music loud and we’re pickin up speed Passin’ blunts from the back to the front Kids playin in the street but you didn’t look once It’s a funny thing this thing we call life is Once you’re the nicest Next you’ll be lifeless And the look on your face is gon’ be priceless Soul to the hole and the devil’s got a tight grip Left to right, you should’ve look twice But you took two lives, man, just to get high Life’s a bitch and in the end we just die But while you’re alive You better survive Aim high, and land among the stars You’re potential could’ve landed you on mars But you fucked up, took it too far Eternal rest, ashes up in the jar (Hook) Truth is You’ve been dyin since birth Look up to the sky You’ll be flyin’ with birds Life’s short realize what you’re worth Listen to my words You’ll be flyin’ with birds Truth is you’ve been dyin’ since birth Look up to the sky you’ll be flyin’ with birds One day you’ll be sittin’ on earth Next thing you know you’ll be flyin’ with birds (Sir Sheck) Sure the playground dreams like come and go But they all begin to fade when you start to grow old Twelve years young and a heart filled with gold He sets his sights on some ambitious goals Like startin' in college and maybe goin' pro A nice lookin' lady and a million dollar home A brand new mercedes that he'd actually own Focused on the future so his head's in the zone On a warm day in august dude heads to the court The backyard's a spot for a quick game of horse His buddy rolls up sportin' Nike Air Force and he jokes sayin' that'll be the shoe you endorse A shot fires wide and rolls into the street as a car zooms up the block doin' fifty at least His mom screams out but they too engulfed to hear her And in the blink of an eye his future shatters like a mirror (Hook) Truth is You’ve been dyin since birth Look up to the sky You’ll be flyin’ with birds Life’s short realize what you’re worth Listen to my words You’ll be flyin’ with birds Truth is you’ve been dyin’ since birth Look up to the sky you’ll be flyin’ with birds One day you’ll be sittin’ on earth Next thing you know you’ll be flyin’ with birds

Slow Burn (free) 03:33
(Jahizzi) Let me take you on a journey through your mind’s eye Open up your dreams make you fly with divine rhymes Through the dark clouds up in the night sky Take you to the moon and back Just hit it two times Let the drugs take hold of your soul And let the rhythm of my words Take hold of the flow My spit be the fire that will keep you warm in the cold Burn down the fuckin city Watch it all fall slow I’m like a wolf in the snow Creepin on the under I’m like the lightning tryin’ to outrun the thunder Man I wonder Is there something I missed Because I feel like I can’t find bliss I can’t quit Can’t sit But I gotta admit Sometimes I gotta stay lit just to keep it legit So, that’s when I light spliffs And watch the light hit The darkness in my mind with the power to ignite it Yeah, that’s when I write shit To relieve the stress Because I really do believe I’m blessed, yes With the world’s worst case of a lucky streak I’m on my feet But what happens when they cut the beat I put my soul on sheets My mind in the pen That’s so I know when I rhyme it’s a gem I’m, collecting diamonds Along with precious metals And I’m on another level With my foot on the pedal And I’m speeding like a demon to the future No turning back Fuck the past I’ll save it for another track Place this back man, rewind this one I’mma keep burnin’ till my mind is numb (Riki) This life is forever changin’ Its constantly rearrangin’ the love that we be exchangin’ is gonna die this life is forever changing its constantly rearrangin’ the moment is gonna stay the same so get high (Jahizzi) Sparks fly time passes you by Close your eyes Time passes you by Get high Time passes you by When you die you’ll be wondering why (Jahizzi) Let me go ahead and show you how to dream in the present time I like to think about the past with my present mind Press rewind And you will find That hindsight is twenty-twenty And the future’s blind For some it’s like looking in the sun But for others it’s like looking down the barrel of a gun It’s never nothin’ man it’s always gon’ be one But it tends to lose feeling like your heart is going numb So in order to restart the beat heart We smoke weed Take tokes And we breath hard Hold it in as long as possible Getting high so we can fly over obstacles I’m living life with my head in the clouds But the masses be living under shrouds Pay attention So you can take a vow To forget about the past And live your life in the now I can’t take it The world is complacent Afraid of reality, man So they erase it Taking pills to subdue the conscious mind Take two and a brew You’ll feel sublime (Riki) This life is forever changin’ Its constantly rearrangin’ the love that we be exchangin’ is gonna die this life is forever changing its constantly rearrangin’ the moment is gonna stay the same so get high

(Jahizzi & Riki) Treat her right if she’s the love of your life Cuz they say that it never comes twice So take a look in her eyes And when she cries it brings rain from the skies So make sure that her days lookin bright She’s the love of your life Treat her right if she’s the love of your life Cuz they say that it never comes twice So take a look in her eyes And realize that in the hardest of times she’s the only one standing beside She’s the love of your life (Jahizzi) I see the twinkle in her eyes like a star Deep brown so round like I’m lookin’ at mars And I’m sititn’ on a cloud With my feet on the ground But see her smile as she rides by on my bars Now I’m buyin her cars She’s makin me meals And she sits at home waitin’ while im makin these deals I can’t tell you how I love seein’ the pleasure she feels But she just wants me to love her and to tell her its real Man this shit is ideal Its feelin’ surreal And now we celebrate our bond over the pasta with veal They seein’ us poppin’ champagne like we’re winnin’ the game Painless, stainless, like we’re made out of steel But the truth of the matter is She questions my trust I can see that she wonders if its love or just lust Baby girl, its just us Chill out with the pryin’ Because I promise I’ll be here until the day that we’re dyin’ And I can guarantee with certainty I never wanna hurt you b You do something good to me and understand me thoroughly Through every single struggle I can see that you never leave I’ll kick it to the hook All the homies listen carefully (Jahizzi & Riki) Treat her right if she’s the love of your life Cuz they say that it never comes twice So take a look in her eyes And when she cries it brings rain from the skies So make sure that her days lookin bright She’s the love of your life (Jahizzi) I always think about the times I would stay up late She said come to bed baby I said hold up wait I gotta write the sixteen gotta fill up the page I gotta realize the dream so that we can be straight Man I gotta get paid So our gear can be cleaner And when it comes to the time Is it the benz or the beamer I would get frustrated Worried I wouldn’t make it She would tell me that its hot and if it wasn’t she’d fake it She kissed me on the neck, showed me hella respect And when I couldn’t pay the rent She would write me a check She put gas in the whip Even laced up the kicks And when I couldn’t get high She would give me a fix I’m not talkin bout drugs Not a hit but a hug If this is soundin like your girl you better show her some love Cuz when she’s gone you’ll find yourself alone in the night You gotta treat her right cuz she’s the love of your life (Jahizzi & Riki) Treat her right if she’s the love of your life Cuz they say that it never comes twice So take a look in her eyes And when she cries it brings rain from the skies So make sure that her days lookin bright She’s the love of your life (Riki) Treat her right She's the love of your life (Jahizzi & Riki) Treat her right if she’s the love of your life Cuz they say that it never comes twice So take a look in her eyes And when she cries it brings rain from the skies So make sure that her days lookin bright She’s the love of your life Treat her right cuz she's the love of your life

Drifting (free) 05:32
Drifting through these streets alone again The air is thick enough to choke my eyes I'll never feel a thing again, but I Will hold my head up to the sky I'm ready to leave, you can be so close to me Drifting through this sea of fate I see The waves are crashing through my ship, my vessel This storm it rips my heart my soul to pieces I'll never be the same again I swear I'll weather these seas and find myself again I'll walk the sacred land and find the truth of man I'll weather these seas and find myself again (I'm ready to leave) I'll walk the sacred land and find the truth of man (You can be so close to me)

On Hold 04:15
(Jahizzi) When you put this track on You better rest in your seat Put a harness on your conscious Pay respect to the beat Now we’re on the next step You better twist up a sweet Connect your mind with the music Its perfection you’ll see But you shouldn’t see shit You gotta look with your mind’s eye Step into the space Hear guitar with its long whine The chatter of the snare High high-hats wit the flare The kick drum bass shatterin’ all your cares So forget about life, and all your tribulations Cuz everybody racin’ and death is only chasin’, uhh, Pick up the pace, gotta run for the first place Then, put on your face and proceed through the tape Get laced, cuz we’re gonna through front lines Critics takin’ shots Gotta dodge all the landmines We bend spines Expand minds And break rules We’re not fools We stay schooled in pro tools So pay attention or choose not to listen Cuz this is god given and I ain’t talkin about the Christians I’m talkin bout livin’ and spittin the flow You can catch me in the winter kickin fire in the snow (Riki) When I’m sittin’ home alone I put the whole world on hold And everything is unknown except the music My true colors are shown And I am never alone Cuz I know I’ll never lose it lose it (Jahizzi) If life’s a bitch and then we die then why try Lets drink wine, get high, and look at the night’s sky Most people probably say I’m a nice guy Just wondering why god ain’t treatin’ me likewise So I write rhymes And dive in the beat I’m clappin my hands and stompin my feet Its me myself and I, just music and me And we stay connected, homie, like a lock and a key Like a to the b I’m hopin’ maybe we’ll see The reality of life and where my future may lead Cuz I’m feelin’ like a top steed Runnin’ at top speed Way past greed man but when do I succeed Right now I’m feelin’ like I should succeed Shut my fuckin mouth one day and just breathe And stop spittin, like I’m just trippin Everybody indifferent like my rhymes don’t glisten (Hook) (Jahizzi) Build a bridge and get over it on some sober shit They’re never gonna know you kid You’re better of tryna quit He wants to rise to the sun like Icarus No wing tips so music is his mother ship And he’s lovin it, cuz she has the understanding In his bitterness, music is like the sweetest candy Verses always flowin’ so the pen and paper handy A little brandy and a spliff now the kid is happy He loves rappin, its kind of like his perfect career But he fears barely making enough money for beer So precise homeboy just look at his beard And he’s smart, making sure that his enemies near But his mind is far, always lost in bars Racin’ through lines with no time for thoughts at all He’s at the top of his game, with no roof no walls And if he doesn’t fly then music’s gonna break his fall (Hook)

Back Home 03:39
(Jahizzi) So smooth But I’m harder than bamboo I’m smarter than most dudes Hardly started and I’m feelin’ so brand new Let me, take a second to thank you For listening to this record Shout to Riki baby look what she sang you Get me, off the ride Cuz I’m shuttin my eyes We turnin nothing into something and the stars are the prize We lookin’ up and at this junction at the bottom of lives We’re getting high till we shine like northern lights in the skies Man we’re feelin’ alive My words are the truth Kyle blesses the guitar and adds the rhythm and groove We started with a couple tracks but the vision just grew So we made a masterpiece for you to give it a view We’re makin’ beautiful music Sound and rhythm so fluid It took a minute to do it We pressed the button and blew it This for the people we’re cool with The family and friends Its been said but you know we got love till the end (Chorus) We plant these roots today I can see that the vision is vast While we weave through the lines of the past We play till the dusk has gone The whole time they knew what we could’ve done This for my people back home where we’re comin’ from (Sir Sheck) Me, Kyle, and Jah See we stay top billin’ Fillin’ up the air with this flavor that be buildin’ As I’m chillin under city lights Nice, ain’t it pretty right Pity for the lost one’s who get caught up in the city night But that’s like me sometimes So back home is the only place for some peace of mind I need some decent dimes and I speak some lines None of which is gon’ matter Let me please unwind And I break for a moment Search for a motive While I seize on this gift Embrace it and try to own it Then I run with it Try and make somethin’ with it Never give up till I say I’m done with it Cuz for me, this is no guilty please Creating the sound to withstand any measure Or a test of time Cuz our aim is everlasting Ya’ll gave me the torch Now it’s mine for the passin’ (Chorus) We plant these roots today I can see that the vision is vast While we weave through the lines of the past We play till the dusk has gone The whole time they knew what we could’ve done This for my people back home where we’re comin’ from (Jahizzi) It’s for the love of the music For the love of the beats Forty hours in the studio is a regular week Like Michelangelo, when I put the pen to the sheets The microphones the tool to help us find the vision we seek So we diggin’ in deep Grabbin’ the roots of the beat Paintin stories for the streets and those in luxury suits It doesn’t matter who you are or what you make in a week So grab a seat, let me tell you a little somethin’ bout me Reach your hand into the bowl and grab some musical sweets Fresh beats, and the lyrics give you something to eat Take a sip of the flow A hit of the dro Because we’re ridin’ wit the eagles and flyin’ low with the crows Using the feelings like they’re some knowledge and we’re lettin’ you know That we’re believin’ that we can do it and we’re seein’ it grow Now we’re revealin’ what’s in the mind and you’re seein’ its glow Yeah we’re stealin’ back rhymes Thanks for watchin’ the show, oh
