1st of all rest in peace to sean price & dilla
A lot of records all filler
I black for the gold like the steelers
My squad might pillage through ya villa
10 killers in chinchillas
I been iller yall trap? Well give it up
Your o lines shaky sacks are given up
Welcome to the den of destruction
Radical repercussions of a rough pen

Hate is a strong word
I’m taking the long
Way
was told that short works
me on a wrong day
means you gone pay
fuck is you gone say
Fuck is you gone do? You playing the wrong you!4
Dead the act fam
I’m on stack plans
Spray out packed vans
straight out the Mach cans
punch with the crap hand
Naturals all night scrappy dog fight
Captain talk right8
up the ante on em
Squeeze the hammer on em
hot like California hot like fam warring make my own rules
Raised off soul food made off so smooth
When that doughs due
We need that bread broke or that lead smokes
We don’t fed quote we keep what’s said low
We keep what’s said quiet fuck the fedderales
Ain’t shit said about it wrap your head around it
get found dead about it we forever bout it don’t you ever doubt it
I’m 1 of 1 made
tryin to get dumb paid
Trying to get cashed out I might spazz out
My city’s a mad house back in the old days
When I had no Grey’s I took that fast route
Raised with thorough cats made with murder rap make that birdie bath cash and hurry back
Out of the frontline cluttered with gun crime run up and slump time in daylight sunshine
Made out just fine the city that shaped me
Also raised me and made me crazy
Save the babies show em plan B
Something they can be raise a family
Raised the toast glass I prayed it gone last
Made the dough fast and paid the toll cash
So the flows brash articulate timing
Villainous times 10 tucking your pride in
Hustled to dine in hustled to dine out
I don’t fly em out I duck em and hideout puffing the vine out doubled the grind count
I make my amount til I’m on timeout
And I won’t tire out

Break'em Off

Mighty money power of the coin
Got her with friend trying join
The root of it all
Trying ball
In a cell the size of a bathroom stall trying to call
The chance you take
Is worth more than them grands you make
When you traded in your friends and they hand you snakes
Such a dirty dirty game
When the 30 30 bang
Cause the younger 1s will hurt you for the fame came
To break you off
Break em off!!!
I Cracked to Tito’s
Laughing @ you wanna be Ninos
Living it up counting C Notes
I’ve been told my shits Primo sure to make Me Mo
paper to stack til I’m finito
Trying my best to keep people away from me
So I invest faithfully and still keep those that take from me but they never made a way for me
On their toes so I break em off
Break em off!!
Yeah It’s for the authentic
That’s down to joint fight without a dog in it
We can’t afford a lost minute friend or foe let a brother know it’s hard to tell
If the other ones really regard you Well
I don’t lose sleep worried about it
In an era where they put more worth in an outfit
and where your house sits
It’s sad cause it’s a lot of suckers sitting on cash
And a lot of real ones are sitting on bad you never know
That why I make moves with a set of goals
That my enemies will never know
Silence is how you stay ahead of those so we break em off
Break em off!!

Could've Been

No I’m not the laughing stock
Pass the clock
picking @ the master lock
That’s On my brain
telling my gains don’t warrant any recognition
playing the blame game 4
Pointing @ myself in the mirror
I Breathed on it and wiped
to see a little clearer
fuck you doing bro?
Pep talking myself to hit the studio and do a show 8
the passion left when Ruck died
Fuck why? Stuff gotta go like this
trust I’ve
had My fair share of losses I hear em talkin
Til stuff got awkward 12
keep ya pity
Assumptions don’t seem to fit me
lesser men have keys to cities
Maintaining integrity in the fakest part of the industy
full of silly Mes 16
Amounting to a hill of beans being spilled by a crooked friend
story of a could’ve been
No matter the context you put it in it’s wrong
So when I’m gone
play all my songs
Take you favorite vice of choice and get it on
1 for ya boy in a time they come for ya joy
Let em know you’re really happy
And suddenly they’re feeling aggy
Coulda beens
When I’ve done my rounds I’ll burn a strain with ya
It’s feeling like a game winner2
Defeated the odds thanked God for
Blessings received
naysayers pressing the keys4
Online
attacking those checking for me
While I win consecutively
It’s Nothing to giant
they’re hurt that I’ll never be compliant my own truth filled me with defiance 8
Living with being over looked long
as I’m over booked I still get plates I know the cook
They still hate I know the look all too well
On this long dark walk through hell12
The air is filled with Chem trails as I exhale
Brand new day
copped a brand new K
For those acting funny over rap money and treating me in a brand new way16
Like me going for mines took away the shine
So I move like denial took a day of mines
And since I can’t get it back
I’m going twice as hard every time I write these bars20
Express with no life regard not even for my own
Beware when you see me in my zone
Cause I’m known to keep it on me
Im here for my people only
leave me alone
The Coulda beens

Guilty simpson Marv one black milk Gensu Dean
Check!!I don’t know how this game works
Chicken or the egg which came 1st
The frame work of the great 1
You can’t perp
you might get boo’d while you say ya verse 4
It’s not for the faint of heart
I play it smart bonded by something you couldn’t break apart (never!)
Always been a smooth 1
back when I was young they cut me paper hearts8
Now I get the real 1s
I’m the type you don’t steal from
Or I’m walking you down and breaking you up
It Don’t make sense? make it enough12
Tally that up caddy lac truck
Headed somewhere I travel too much
I give thanks that I live great
African cichlids of the fish tank 16
It’s plenty in it if you figure different
Still I got the save like I’m penny pinching
@ the suite I took her to head to skinny dipping
That how you school her women’s intuition
guilt!
Marv one
What what what up
Hey look I wanna welcome you to the show where everybody’s a killer,
Nickel and dime-Ing everybody’s a dealer
They make beats and rhyme and everybody’s a Dilla,
The jails stay full so everybody’s a squealer
The Tires squeal and everybody’s a Peeler
Group of stand up niggaz and everybody’s a pillar
We statues out here get it clappin out fear
Pop fly in our field don’t let us catch you out here
Cause nigga now the game ain’t friendly and I’m a make you pay for the pain they sent me
It bang cause the thang ain’t empty
The streets make monsters its fangs is in me
Your blood stains they tempt me
Now look you’re dealing with a damn murderer
who gets stripes over beef like the ham burglar-er
We are nowhere near the same my fans ain’t never heard of ya
How has this not occurred to ya?
That this a courtesy plus the ones you call big dogs they curs to me
they differ to me
wait on the word from me
Boy & if you ain’t patient you better learn to be or end up in emergency it’s Marvin
Black milk
Yeah! Back when you sat in that backseat back when your luck wouldn’t last bad knuckles was ashy,
Fist balled wishing you was ballin badly
Learned with the cash gotta ball hog no passing
Ask me to go and get the bag say gladly
Done always had a will to get bank like Ashley
Near poor niggaz pour liquor but more less
I watched dreams thats never left porch steps
Died in the dirt smile to a smirk
Black ski mask black gloves black tire marks
That’ll paint the ground from the skrrrt!!
Rounds through his shirt sounds I know all too well
Street violence cops hit you with the “please do tell”
Keep silence pray for it all
You trying to find a way to get away from it all
living it out
Figured it out
now we flying direct to grab checks bigger amounts
so pull a plate up
Everybody eats entrées from the waiter champagne in the air
toast up now it’s palm trees year around I rarely see the cold months
from where they blow guns while they blow blunts Detroit

Yeah Take your time young man all money ain’t good hope you understand
Them killers ain’t playing they’ll put you in the sand over a couple grand
The day grew long the nights moved fast over that quick cash
Another 1 passed gun blast I hope this beef won’t last
Never ending cycle used to play together now they’re rivals
Homicide moves where they slide cruise looking for a title
It’s gotta be another way to make it out don’t let them sway your doubt
Don’t be that bad news tossed out on the paper route
Talk to me talk to me talk to me !
You can’t get it all over night you gotta work for it
You get gain through pain It’s worth more when you hurt for it
Yeah the struggle got a beauty to it It builds character cherish it
Anytime you can live and learn you should carry it
Experience is a tutor and I’m a student to the game
when I experienced heart ache Shit it never was the same
You put yourself in harms way just to get a name?
Id rather watch the day go feeling strange off strains
Talk to me talk to me talk to me

Bitch I ain’t gotta like ya shit fuck y’all
When I kick your door show us the drugs dog
You remind me of that other rapper
I Make you taste your own blood when I knuckle slap ya
They said I’m old and washed up
But I’m still cold and knotted up
They Acting like we die in numerical order
I’m some where smoking quarters
Across water Bora Bora
My aura is a scorer peace to my supporters
Street court and I’m my own lawyer
Mic destroyer, you clowns better get life in order profound sound tight performer
I respond to hate mail with AK shells
I bet a wager that your lady wouldn’t take it well
I put a laser on your face before I make it hail
You clowns scared to break nail I hate you!!
Parden the weight gain but I don’t weight train
And still hit like a freight train
It’s no coincidence when I got on that’s when the hate came
So I whip ass and take names
You clowns whisper better than them ying yang twins
playing in a game you can’t win
Snake oil salesmen with your made up facade
I’ll slap juice outcha
a whole Duece outcha
You must do powder high
Trying to try the slyest guy
This side of MI the Inf eye of the storm
Will light up your form knock your physical off track
I see y’all squares are soft pack
You better get on when I’m off that
Original shit they’re all hacks
Back to work the Boss back
I need a 10 piece all flats

(I don’t wanna hurt no more don’t wanna do this dirt no more)
A coward dies a thousand times
Somehow the lies cloud your mind
Think smarter street author
What I’ve seen makes me drink harder4
I got it when I don’t need it
I’m copping for the whole season
We only live once right
Idiots get the dunce treatment 8
Melanin that the sun seasoned
Grub @ the lunch meetings
I’m fly exemplified they need a dose
And coast on the high that the pen prescribed12
I’m like revenge denied
the get back that you can’t get
the hit man that you can’t hit distinguished yet ignorant to my genius16
Well aware that they’re probably scheming
So I watch the company I’m keeping
Meditate to keep away the demons
Everyday they’re giving me a reason to the leave em dead breathin
I don’t wanna hurt no more don’t wanna do this dirt no more

Yeah uh I can see the future
Every time look @ you I see through ya
And catch that inner light the 1 one you try to hide
To show off your fighter side
You can’t fool me tho
On film like the Truman show
You showed me all your fantasies and the moves you know
Well prepared with room to grow 8
Learn and teach more than a bird & beak
I’m intrigued by words you speak
your choice selection
No need to voice discretion
Shit I’m here all this week
I’m Here all month I’m here all year
Shit a lifetime
I love the way your light shines
Bright enough to make eyes blind
Aged like wine fine16
The years have been kind to ya
All real I can see the line through ya
When I hold you against that light good night
Don’t waste none times moving
You’re the 1 Im glad to know fasho fasho
You’re the 1 I got to know fasho
Yeah I can see the present ready to unwrap your designer dressin
No stressin so let’s paint the town
Let a real 1 take you out 4
See what the city has to offer
Show you I’m not much of a talker
Now Hop in my flying saucer tell your friends sayonara
we outta here
MIA without a care 8
My lady we took those vows
And After all these years the fires still lit somehow 10
And I’m thankful
you’re the 1 I got to know
still got style to stop the show12
I wish that I could take that good shit with me when I’m gone
I made ya promise that cha never leaving me alone
I saved ya picture while ya calling on my telephone
She taking care of home while I’m out here selling songs
The years have been kind to ya
All real I can see the line through ya
When I hold you against that light good night
Don’t waste none times moving
You’re the 1 I’m glad to know fasho fasho
You’re the one I got to know fasho

Steady rain the drizzle intensifies
Meanwhile street feuds began to rise
Tension amongst men with kin who ride
Then friends spin within enemy lines
Then again seems like infinity times
Back and forth til more of the enemy dies
You can see the last breath in the wintery skies
You can tell that stress can trigger a mind
Living Hell load shells and trigger a mind suicide everyone else figured it’s fine
Do or die where death can hemi your drive
On the wrong road chasing the women and shine
Got a strong hold over the killings and crime
With the wrong code you can just feel it inside
Never ending cycle where the innocent cries
Steady rain the drizzle intensifies
It’s like the night time took my people out they right mind
I poured one on the curb for those thats gone
I rolled one 1 @ the crib and smoked alone
No respect for the ones that broke the code
I say a prayer for the ones theyre rolling on
It hurts more than a wound or broken bone
It’s gets dirty in the Detroit and you don’t belong
Some know all the words and quote your song
Same ones will kick your door with smoking chrome
Broken souls raised up in broken homes
Broken oaths left them broke and Bold
Unsolved when the shit got old and cold
Unresolved then they come slow your role
No talking outta this if you owe you owe
Retaliation dumped in a whole below
That’s how it is @ the crib when you’re wrong you’re wrong
poured one on the curb for those that’s gone

You ain’t even close did you see a ghost ?heater roast a hater like Cohiba smoke 2
Pay the fee I quote or receive a nope
Before you see me broke I’ll get a ki of coke4
Never did I wish em nothing but the best
Yet they wanna bring me death Bet.
2 can play that but when we spray back somebody lay flat 8
flatter than that joint you dropped please stop you funny fam
They say they want to dance I make em running man
the terror alert rose
Grind mode double my work load
You’d rather make a cut on turf toe12
They want me me outta the paint not in the ranks instead of reppin clocking my bank
That’s why I love this shit
I don’t care how many drugs you flipped16
Uh listen They used to say my action was that of a savage
By the way I used to manage collateral damage
It’s just a part of the game
Where hustlers put they heart on a chain
And die for it 20
On this side it’s storming
My size 12s still slide in Jordan’s
And Air Max’s death is imminent like Taxes
In the cold with wet matches
dying slow
dough got low he friend an O
And jumped started the grassroots where they grab loot shoot anybody that they don’t know
The field
Where the vest is your shield
And pillow talking could get you killed
So we build and move on motion not emotion is the key but you ain’t hear the shit from me roll up fam........
Yeah All I’m seeing is phony Montana’s
Get pinched and everybody gone go to the slammer
Made a killing in the ghetto soon as they get behind metal
they’re with the people singing falsetto 4
so I don’t wanna hear ya coke stories,
my young scorers putting up 40
It’s obvious you clowns are victims
Pick 1,
It’s like ya shooters need glasses thick 1s8
If I spin your block it’s guaranteed score target only
Cartridge on me your guards should know me10
She said my past makes it hard to hold me
I felt that
Scared straight couldn’t help that
I don’t talk rap they’re all below me
They say that talk puts a target on me
I tell em don’t miss please
Or I’m back to tame these pussies like Sigfried
The Big league what it is over here don’t make me leak your wig on your gear
That’s what it’s gone be when I close lids over tears
You suckas got picked on for years
Roll up fam
