And mom you da bomb.com
Youre the reason that I feel I got the world in my palm
Youre the reason I believe within myself
I’m achieving for a reason youre the reason for my being
I was raised by a queen so you best believe this king is getting crowned
everbody turnin up off the way I put it down
i dabble in this art but still go hard up in the paint
i could make a hiphop hater fuckin faint
impressive how im verbally finnesin

to the world i am addressing
I’m persistently progressing (DUB)
never ever with the stressing

imma hound dog so i aint really with the puppy lovin
cause i been tryna find somebody i can fall in love with
but i fell in love with music its too complicated
i can’t really shift my focus im too concentrated
fuck i gotta make it
this is not a hobby
this is nothings gonna stop me
They tryna catch the wave because I’m something like tsunami
flowin like the ocean
check the locomotion
coasting to explosion
I’m the coldest like I’m frozen
dopest cause of my devotion
practice makin perfect
so much more than worth it
haven’t heard this hot shit
i cook it up an then i serve it
call it food for thought
shit i never would thought
when I thought it in an instance
i could think it to existence
i can be if i believe it
i believe it i achieve it
i can never fight the hunger
yes i need it so i feed it
this is me this everything i need the world to see it
know my soul is on my sleeve
I speak my mind i start to free it

give a fuck how you perceive it
set myself up for success so im sure that ill achieve it
this is through my eyes
and through my soul
this is through the highs
and this is through the lows

this is through the doubt
this is through the time its taken me to figure out
that this is what im bout

The gift of gabbin
Im never givin up

Swagger jockin trolls tryna copy cant repeat my flows
I just fuckin go
N lose control
Never could I slow it
Im a fuckin poet

This shit is for life dog im too legit to quit

Cause im the fuckin shit

spreading positivity with every word I spit
while mastering my craft and continue to get lit

A life full of doing what I love and making a difference while doing it
To anyone out there whos got a dream
Keep chasin it
Dreams do come true
This is with utmost respect to the greats before me that contributed to this culture
With their inspiration
This is through my eyes

Dear Mama
04:39
|
|||
Im nothing without you
Succedding because of you
So im gonna do this for you
Im blessed to put it lightly
she loves me unconditional
her love has made me mighty
these ladies in my life mimic ways of Aphrodite
a gentlemen to the core
I treat a girl politely
and cheatings never like me
yo
yo i was taught to treat a woman how id treat my mom
i was taught to tell the truth because its never wrong
everyday i grind to smile on her face
every night
i hug her tight
she is my saving grace
words cannot describe the way my momma makes me feel
i doubted love
because of her i know true love is real
when I’m down she never fails to turn my mood around
she is my queen
and she deserves to wear her fuckin crown
love is easy when youre taught it at an early age
all is fair in love and war but we still disengage
like we’re committed to never being committed
every word that’s out of love it seems our actions contradict it
with every word i speak will help me find the girl i seek
with every move i make i prey the lord my soul to take
I put my hands in fate my spirit freely navigates
And float to freedom like my conscious didn’t have no weights
because of her i live this life of love and happiness
her light will always shine within my life before and after this
theres no way i can pay you back
but the plan is to show that you that i understand
you are appreciated
(chorus)
And dear mama
don’t ya worry bout me
you raised your boy to a man
and now your kid is a king
and i say fuck a degree cause i flow hotter than diplomas
shining star about to burst like I’m a destined super nova
i know you want whats best for me
but trust the man you’ve made
lyrics from my spirt is whats gonna get our family paid
wishful thinking
more like plans that i can promise you
trust ill work hard
but imma work on what i wanna do
i don’t plan on takin orders till retirement
life inside a cubicle is far from a requirement
life is what you make it
every chance i get I’m takin
i just hope the world can feel me
no i will not be forsaken
you can trust
i trust you
and to love you is a must
this is how it has to be though
and I’m sure u can adjust
fight a never ending battle
constant worry is the enemy
as long as you believe in me
my love can be the remedy
i could
change the world
but i won’t know unless i try
and if i never spread my wings
then how the fuck am i gone fly
if i never take a chance
mediocre never changes
I’m just shooting for the stars like i was makin friends with angels
you’ve had my back even when i didn’t have my own
i think of you and i don’t ever have to feel alone
so mom i thank you from the bottom of my heart
its time to be a man
but I’m your baby from the start
I love you so much
Youre so appreciated
Through the ups and the downs you’ve always been there to steer me in the right direction
You’ve given me unconditional love and support
You showed me how to loved the right way
Im so blessed to have such a strong woman like you in my corner
Through the past 23 years of my life you’ve been everything a boy needs to grow into a man
So for that theres no way I can pay you back, but the plan is to show that I understand

This Is Love
04:00
|

You can’t hurry love cause it’s a battle
it comes about at random like a picture from the raffle
I’ve been hurt before but still I keep an open door
I’m just waiting for the one did not look for love I’ll never stop until it’s real and I’m not ever settling
searching for my ride or die I’ll never quit the peddling
casting out a hook but this beat is far from fictional
cause if she lets me love her I will love her unconditional
cause love is gentle love is easy if you let it be
and if it hurts just let it go because it ain’t meant to be
love is free love is healing for the scars of hate
love is art and that’s why every day I illustrate
paint it vivid for the people who ain’t under standing
that love is hard so don’t mistake it for a wonder landing
pain is promised but it’s worth it if it is too you
just don’t mistake the pain with something that you have to do
live a little love a lot and learn to love yourself
be respectful to the ones that care and love your health
because health is wealth is nothing if you live with hatred
that’s why I love the hate and every day I celebrate
because life is good and I have bait inside my Destiny
I love my life but when I go I know all rest in peace
I give my thanks to all my people who are there for me
I’d give my life for all the ones who really care for me and I got love For all the ones that I don’t even know
yo I got love inside that sometimes I don’t even show
I wrote this verse to shine a light for those who live in darkness
I love you all and I just hope that you can hear my heart
see this next verse is for you and I know I don’t even know you yet
but I can imagine what our love will be like when our stars align
so I just wanted to get this off of my chest ahead of time
this was never a gang for me I love you baby
you’re the first face I want to see that’s on the daily
you’re my sunshine whenever skies are looking rainy
my Thanksgiving mashed potatoes baby you my gravy
God has given me a gift im more than grateful for
Made all my past relationships just seems so fake before
this feeling of our love is way too strong I can’t ignore it
as long as I have you Ill love you Boo forever more
fairytale but our love is far from fictional
I couldn’t fight it she’s my only irresistible
I love her flaws I fucking love her unconditional
and for my lady I will face the unpredictable
cause even when we fight the battles make a stronger
together forever and maybe even longer
Ill never wander cause your love is what I honor
And any obstacle together we can conquer it
just hold me down and I can promise I aint giving up
I rap for us just so one day we can live it up
we never fuck because we both are into making love
addicted to you I can never seem to get a enough
and when my lady has my baby I’mma keep them safe
keep my patients keep my loving and I’ll keep my faith
fatherhood is something I will never take for granted
and with my woman I will never fail to be romantic
I’ll say I love you every day until the death of me
I give my love to you and God can have the rest of me
my baby boo you always bringing out the best in me
ill love you to infitity cause we were meant to be
and I want you to know
youre far from the usual
far from the usual

My Baby
03:00
|
|||
I was looking for the right one to come around and hold me down for so long
Little did I know shes been stealing my heart since I was about 6-years-old
Always in my ears throught the good and the bad
My baby has always had my back
So I think its about time that I give back to her
yo
yo i been digging deep
dreamin big but didnt sleep
talking to the beat and found out my talkin isn’t cheap
I could be the biggest thing Nebraska’s ever seen
talent mixed with hard work I’m somewhere in between
Fighting writers block
Its prolly cause i write a lot
marrying the music
but I’m hesitant to tie the not
im so in love
but love don’t always last forever
seasons change
people change
i fell in love? i can’t remember
i don’t search no more
I let it come to me
talking to myself cause i can always keep me company
i just can get enough of me
I’m boiling I’m bubbling
I’m destined for the fame and so I’m writing this reluctantly
the love can cause the hate
success can turn the realest ones to fake
an so i stay straight
its fuck what they say
i put it down like mayday
i put in work no play play
till everydays a pay day ayyyy
Everytime i write a verse i face fate like
like i could sell these words increase my pay rate shit
score a baddie nice body great face
and the kind thats faithful to her man when she is taken
I AINT WITH THE FAKE SHIT
im just tryna make it
butter bread and break it
put on for my city state
ball out in the biggest way
leave a legacy so even when im gone im here to stay
Words of russ real rap will never fade away
I dropped this mixtape rolled a blunt and let it play
married to the game no they won’t take my babay
married to the game they wont take my ba
ion care about an argument ill stilll be here tomorrow for you
i got a room up in the city we can play finish the bottle
ill pour you up, well work on us
cause aint nobody takin my baby
I wanna be clear im staying right here
Cause aint nobody takin my baby
I don’t care if I fail
Imma still do this tomorrow
Because I love this shit
Play the beat spit a verse imma do this shit forever
Perfect my craft and make this last
Cause aint nobody takin my baby
I wanna be clear im staying right here
Cause aint nobody takin my baby

Best Day Ever
03:36
|
|||
im in this with my whole heart
I swear i can’t escape the music’s gravitational pull
I’m addicted to every aspect of sound
It’s like all my troubles turn to triumphs when the music hits me
I wrote my first lyrics when i was 18
but my whole life Ive been writing poetry and memorizing songs from the greatest to do it
this mixtape is a tribute to those greats that paved the path for me, because without them, none of this is possible
This mixtape is a message to all those that’ve doubted my dreams
i use that doubt as fuel
this is a thank you to all the people that believed in me from the start
my fans friends and family are the reason i actually believe in this dream of mine
y’all are the ones that make it possible for me to live the best life ever
its crazy how this life unfolds
been livin fast im tryna slow my roll
and get to know my soul
just recently
i think i found the beast in me
comin for the cake now all these people want a piece of me
but once i make it big all my day ones comin with me
imma do this for my city
imma do this for my fam
im do this for my boys
im do this cause i really never had a fuckin choice
i was never good at school
cause i never could muster up a fuck to give
somehow i made a way to college I’m still like fuck this shit
music is my ticket to success
im so focused on it now
that i can’t focus on the rest
I’m just tryna be the best
I’m just tryna make my parents proud
I’m just tryna make a livin when i think out loud
I’m just tryna prove anyone that doubted wrong
ill prolly change opinions when they start to play this song
if dream chasin is wrong then i don’t wanna be right
all it takes is one spark to make a fire ignite
i don’t ever think ill land
i believe i can fly
keep my faith inside the plan
keep my beak to the sky
keep my feet on the ground
never trippin over snakes though
music friends and family my motha fuckin payroll
successful cause i say so
and ill be grindin till its time to wear my halo
it seems like everyones afraid to die
but more afraid to live
i don’t waste my time
cause i just face the wind
an everytime i fall i get right back up
like all this hard work just might add up
I’m my only competition
I’m the only one thats holding back
baggage from the past music helped me start to unpack
more life
more blessings
more everything
no settling I’m moving on to better things
this might just be the best day ever
better yet everyday will be the best day ever
cause im handsome n clever
so ambitious i aint backing down
my submission of these writtens gottem tapping out
they used to laugh at me now look at me who’s laughin now
old hoes remember preston he’s a rapper now
bet you wish that i was giving out some second chances
shit now the baddest bitches wishing they got second glances
but all see is freedom in my future
all my dreams are coming true cause I’m a king like martin Luther
things are gonna change but i will still remain the same
ill count my blessins everyday because i know,
no matter where life takes me, find me with a smile
pursuit to bein happy only laughing like a child
I never thought life would be this sweet It got me cheesing from cheek to cheek
and I ain't gonna wait for nothing cause that just ain't my style
life couldn't get better, this gon’ be the best day ever
Mac miller was one of the biggest influences of my faling deeper in love with hiphop
He’ll live forever not only through his music but through his beautiful spirit that lives within us all
rest in paradise to a king
