JQuest whatup…Ugh huh
Always had the mindset that I’m on,
My vision is from this mindstone
You see me shinin’ with elite rhymin’
I write divine poems, with all the intent
To be mind blowin’, Word to Elzh- I advise
You witness my growth at a speed
That’ll inspire Nick to recite quotes I
Wrote in my notepad with the spiral
On the side binded, weathered storms
Like my baby mama is Ororo Munroe
I’m T’Challa, check the climate...I’m a horse
on this track sides blinded, thoroughbred focused on the goal
ahead my success story is much
More than gettin’ hold of the golden egg,
Meditatin’ with the folded legs centerin’
Myself, was once mentally tapped should’ve
Tapped into a center for help, masked it,
Got lost on buildin’ for wealth, before that
It was rappin’ tryin’ to appeal to the masses
Definitely longevity, tryin’ to get to be forever
Lastin’, number on a banner in the rafters after
It’s said and done, second to none, one of one,
I’m probably on the hundred one as far as runs
Shinin’ above the others I belong amongst
The sun, not Ahmir but it’s obviously
Clear what I’ve done to drums with the lyrics
Here lend an ear...time taken craftin’, y’all on
The field dashin’, but the finish line’s far from here...
what a year I’m leer fly ever since knee
High I’m beanstalk tier, listen

Lead and be legendary, lead and be legendary, you should come f*ck wit’ a visionary, Capricorn born in January, nothin' about me is secondary yes I'm back in the building relay the message wit the secretary, I finessed it and released a weapon just ‘cause Work-Win-Repeat was necessary I don't f*ck around I come to lay it down like it was missionary when I'm spittin’ what is very interesting when presenting medleys roll around the city as I whip the Chevy...makin’ my way up, I missed my shot but I'm back wit’ a lay up or more like Golden State throwin the tre up, just to win and make it beyond the playoffs, heart of a warrior go for the glory and later be spoken of by Historians, can't ignore me anymore I'm Goro, this be that flow that'll make you immortal, the zone I'm in I should drop every quarter, for my supporters who dealin' wit boredom, I just deliver when they place the order, as far as great-ness I'm nothin' short of (hol up) this is real rap get excited, wanna see my city get united wanna check my DM on a Tuesday and see a decent pair of titties insides it sorry that so many rappers lead you on you been misguided-this Writer came to turn the game up-side-down if not we gon leave that b*tch lopsided 'cause...

This is the life
They say you only get one
Let’s make this one right
All of my goals and dreams
I keep ‘em in sight
Someone should pass me some shades
I’m shinin’ too bright
It’s one hell of a night
This is the life (aye! aye!)
They say you only get one
Let’s make this one right (aye! aye!)
All of my goals and dreams
I keep ‘em in sight (aye! aye!)
Someone should pass me some shades
I’m shinin’ too bright (aye! aye!)
It’s one hell of a night (aye!)
I’m about to take flight
I’m Colder than Ice
I give them no braks
this a walk with a cake
I’ll save you a slice
I was steady climbing
They was doubted what was inside him
Nowthat we finally here
I feel like It’s perfect timing
all my plans manifest
remembered the nights that had me stressed Now you know why I have have to flex
They say you only get one
Let’s make this one right
All of my goals and dreams
I keep ‘em in sight
Someone should pass me some shades
I’m shinin’ too bright
It’s one hell of a night
This is the life (aye! aye!)
They say you only get one
Let’s make this one right (aye! aye!)
All of my goals and dreams
I keep ‘em in sight (aye! aye!)
Someone should pass me some shades
I’m shinin’ too bright (aye! aye!)
It’s one hell of a night (aye!)
Put in my all one life to live
got a gift to sell as a gift to give
for the win, I’m goin’ the dis-tance
my wings in the wind I’m fly consistent…
not destined to fail, I’m a V-12
so my pistons well, gassed off
ambition my engine good
I got plenty of drive, just lift the hood
give me all of my flowers now I-done
made it be-yond hour ten thousand
puttin’ in the work has not been a problem
me and the squadron takin’ what’s ours,
to end up in positions of power, output
speak for me it’s undoubted, I should pro’ly
say it louder, for those in the back from the
left to right and tell ‘em
This is the life
They say you only get one
Let’s make this one right
All of my goals and dreams
I keep ‘em in sight
Someone should pass me some shades
I’m shinin’ too bright
It’s one hell of a night
This is the life (aye! aye!)
They say you only get one
Let’s make this one right (aye! aye!)
All of my goals and dreams
I keep ‘em in sight (aye! aye!)
Someone should pass me some shades
I’m shinin’ too bright (aye! aye!)
It’s one hell of a night (aye!)

Yea, ugh, Ya number one is back with the magic on the mic, Penny with the pen stripe, lyrics of luxury, this the big body Benz type, Tag and Creative Notez that’s the winnin’ side been a winner since Ali Shaheed and Tip been in Tribe, I’m somethin’ pretty special this a different mind any written bar of mine’s is gold just pick the mine, pitchin’ lines with intentions for you to hit rewind, Marty McFly get listeners to travel back in time, at least accordin’ to coordinates of a Delorian I’m put here to serve a purpose that is glorious…and that’s more obvious than it is low key, it’s like a homi not a hobby, when I’m over beats
We’re gonna lay it out there for you, Something so incredible, Don’t have to call it nothing, It’s just greatness, We’re gonna give it you, Something undeniable, Don’t have to wait too long, It’s just greatness
Just another play for the day get it every way
separate the fake to make my name and now I give you Slang, I’m just a king on a mission to give ‘em what they missing, Niggas tripping cause they hear the game in the bars but they never listen So fluent wit the words gimmie a check yea I just do it, Shit got yo lady choosing Nigga cool it don’t be foolish, But we trying to keep you grooving to these beats that Snook be doing So how we losing when you got Creative Notez it ain’t no proving Shout out ‘Tag Alexander wit the impeccable grammar continue to stretch the ladder til they just cease wit the chatter this feeling like Marvin in his hay we just continue that wave we just continue that way cause they give a shit what they say, we lite the L and do us and catch the rest in the wind and competition is lite so they set up for the win, I’m just a sipping on this henny til thw world have us trending always applying pressure ‘til the lord say I’m finished
We’re gonna lay it out there for you, Something so incredible, Don’t have to call it nothing, It’s just greatness, We’re gonna give it you, Something undeniable, Don’t have to wait too long, It’s just greatness

I’m tryna get on yo’ wave
I’d give you all of my time
I’m tryna get on yo’ wave
You should be wined and dined
‘Cause you got it
Said I give you all of my time
Said I’m tryna get on yo’ wave
You should be wined and dined
‘Cause you got it
How can I get on, how can I be
down, to rock witcha like a
classic from Bobby Brown,
pardon me if my approach seems
Out of bounds, but you move with
confidence I admire ya style
got ya priorities together plus
ya well rounded connected wit the
Earth, you about stayin’ grounded
Do you want a spouse or
someone to play house wit,
get hitched quick take a
trip out of town with,
See different surroundings
vacation and loungin’, so
you heard from other women
That I been around, would
You let me restore a feelin’
If it’s been a while, obviously
With your permission, if you allow (I’m sayin’)
I’d give you all of my time
I’m tryna get on yo’ wave
You should be wined and dined
‘Cause you got it
Said I give you all of my time
Said I’m tryna get on yo’ wave
You should be wined and dined
‘Cause you got it
It don’t take a whole night
to recognize that the moonlight shine
you the type I can do right by, it’s like
You can take a soul lookin’ through
Both eyes, where you tryna go we
Can take a stroll or ride just hit
My line, and I’ll make time, get the
Convo flowin’, share thoughts goin’
On both our minds over a meal and
Some wine it’s a vibe let’s chill spend
The night, tryin’ to show you why
I’m that guy, on this fresh linen whole
Area properly scented, we gon be up
Late, that’s props to Ari Lennox, it’s
Been a long week, work and stress
Got the best of you so like - before
I’ll make some room on my schedule (and)
I’d give you all of my time
I’m tryna get on yo’ wave
You should be wined and dined
‘Cause you got it
Said I give you all of my time
Said I’m tryna get on yo’ wave
You should be wined and dined
‘Cause you got it…
I’m tryna get on yo’ wave

Ice in my veins
Not afraid the moment..
The clock dwindles down
Every second seems dormant
Drenched from sweat pouring..
Look at my defender, pretender
Can’t stop me from scoring.
Had an off game
This my stage for atonement..
Locked in focused..
Yeah boy I’m zoning..
This all that wanted..
This all that needed..
Heart Check, Gut Check..
Won’t be defeated…
I run through obstacles..
Believe I can do the impossible..
Couple thousand fans all mocking you
Neutral site divided..
They win some will riot..
Until I call game now all I hear is silence…
What you gon’ do when it’s crunch time,
When the pressure is on, is it enough time,
Are you gon rise up on the frontline
Act on it ‘cause the clock’s goin’
Watch goin’ like tick tick
What you gon’ do when it’s crunch time,
When the pressure is on, is it enough time,
Are you gon rise up on the frontline
Act on it ‘cause the clock’s goin’
Watch goin’ like tick tick
Relentless work ethic, it’s dna embedded,
fully nested, big payback, I am like a bill collector, the opposition feel under pressure, my team do the pressing like fresh vinyl testing, fans gambling half they checks put the bets in-invest the nest eggs, had to get my wind up and rest but, look who’s back checked in, coach got the best in, let’s win, the stakes are high and chips are down I’m royal-ty playing for that crown…the moment of truth I thrive in the clutch leave my mark on this game and it’s left-untouched so
What you gon’ do when it’s crunch time,
When the pressure is on, is it enough time,
Are you gon rise up on the frontline
Act on it ‘cause the clock’s goin’
Watch goin’ like tick tick
What you gon’ do when it’s crunch time,
When the pressure is on, is it enough time,
Are you gon rise up on the frontline
Act on it ‘cause the clock’s goin’
Watch goin’ like tick tick

Ugh, one-one, two ugh
one-one, two ugh
Illingsworth, whatup, ugh
Chopped it up about where I should try to cop stock my style popular as a pair of pro Foamposites I pre-fer black and copper
ones, obviously I’m the one, had a goal in mind and I got it done, always got’ somethin’ to vibe to, Ba-du to Mama’s Gun, destined to be
prominent since I was young, sole provider I
supply the funds for the fam so the grind is always constant non stop til I decide to bow out as done,I’m Common from the Like Water For Chocolate album run, where’s the proper investors I can borrow a dollar from, let’s
partner up on a plot to turn a profit from I’m buzzin’ like the start - of an alcohol problem I’m a-champion takin’ chances, roll the dice
Success or failure, what you fear more
In life? Rap’s equal to Space Jam 11s where
No bar is a reach, yet it’s still quite Jordan
Like, y’all hangin’ ‘round yes men who give
Poor advice, I be around the like minded, who
Know the idea of what it meant - to be outside
Grindin’, I learned from legends on the mic,
Cuz knowledge reign supreme on nearly each
Student of the science I’m, consistent like D-
Nice on IG Live at night spinnin’ jams, I’m
Big man on campus with cafeteria cards
With the dinner plans...listen man, it’s
Vibranium in verbal form I technically been
Advanced rather be in it to withstand than
A gimmick with a dance I’m classic as a Red
Schwinn with a bent kickstand, y’all on ya last leg a bunch of Lieutenant Dans I be rhymin’ like I’m surrounded by empty Spinach cans,
Who olive oyl for me, bar archery I’m Oliver Queen back sounding pristine providing a sound of relief...deliver well poundin’ the
concrete breakin’ ground, get the richter
scale, been tryna rid myself of everything toxic as a chemtrail til I feel my life movie is solid you
get a film trailer, got my lapel tailored, I’m the waiter who properly suited dinner gettin’ served when I cater music, made it through it,
them other ones be aiight but I’m Nike I’m the way to do it
yea…Lead And Be Legendary
Ugh…I say, awwwe man!
Illingsworth…whatup!
