Down to Ride (feat. Drew The Dragon)
[August Wild & NittyGritty]
Im from 1995
I’m from 1994
Come with me, let’s take a ride
Tell me where you wanna go
We can have that nineties love
I’ll show you how it used to feel
Back when everything was genuine
You know my love is real
[Verse – NittyGritty]
I could take you out then sneakers
I could put you in them heels
Grew up living in apartments
Want that condo on a hill
Hard to trust you but I’m trying
And that’s something we could build
I won’t send you home crying
If your attitude is chill
With you clock is moving slow
Glad I got some time to kill
Murder lock me up from Merkin that pussy my greatest skill
Turn up Rocking with your friends in clubs
That’s a broken deal
Need you all to myself
I’m kind of selfish, that’s for real
Baby love me while I’m here
I’m only here a while
Streets be calling but I press decline
If you in route
I want you inside the whip
I wanna drive around
Love is hard to get, but we understand
So hold me down
Don’t hold me back
I got your back
I’ll give you satisfaction
I’ll break that back
Won’t give you back to those
Don’t let me have it
I feel attached
Let’s get this scratch
You got that touch of magic
I’m genuine
I’m here to give
What you ain’t used to having
[Hook – Drew The Dragon]
Tell me is you down to ride
I can’t lie girl
You always on my mind
I just need you by my
And we know love is hard to find
She don’t want the money
She just want to spend some time
I just need you by my side
And I can see it in your eyes
Say you miss me when I’m outside
On the grind
I just need you by my side
By my side
She not the type that you can buy
Can’t put a price
But you really be a dime
I just gotta make you mine
[Verse – August Wild]
Life with you is
Life with you is paradise
Tell me how you make the winter feel like summer nights
You was with me at my lowest you be with me at the heights
I put you before the world till I reach the after life
What you like?
I know you what you like
You ain’t gotta tell me
Resurrect the 90s love
Word to Makaveli
Lovin way too good I had to bring you out the celly
Give me 7 days of lovin I’ll put babies in your belly
That’s a promise
Manifest what I speak
Follow through game strong
But my pull out game weak
I can us in that Lamborghini whipping through the street
On our to way to the mansion
We was comin from the beach
Do you see what I see
Every time you look at me?
Kinda life that make you wonder
If it’s only just a dream
(Yes I do)
Oh you do?
Tell me why I’m not surprised
You the proof God is real, I don’t need no other signs
[Hook – Drew The Dragon]
Tell me is you down to ride
I can’t lie girl
You always on my mind
I just need you by my side
And we know love is hard to find
She don’t want the money
She just want to spend some time
I just need you by my side
And I can see it in your eyes
Say you miss me when I’m outside
On the grind
I just need you by my side
By my side
She not the type that you can buy
Can’t put a price
But you really be a dime
I just gotta make you mine
Doesn’t Matter Anymore
[Verse – August Wild]
I’ve been taking time away from everybody
Growing up, I wanted love from everybody
Now I see the world of what it is
And I don’t really care to fuck with anybody
Ain’t nobody made me cold
I’m not what was done to me I am what I chose
I chose everybody but me and my integrity
Everybody I was living for is now dead to me
I think I’m seeing ghosts
Only time I see them come around is when I toast
I know I’m way too generous to all these motherfuckers talking shit when I was broke
Where was everybody when I needed them the most?
Let me know!
Even though
It doesn’t matter
Any more
I won’t ever find peace if I’m always at war
What I know is what I know
I know im headed for more
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Pushed away people that I love, but the same people show me I was never good enough
On a run from my feelings, I always try to keep them tucked
With the blood, I was chilling practiced misconduct
I was doing so much, but I never feed the energy
Look inside the mirror and I found my worst enemy
Used to blame suckers from having that lack of empathy
But I don’t see nothing from haters besides jealousy
They telling me to trust, but I got nothing left in me
Sit inside my home on my own, but I keep an empty
Bag and so I’m feeling shitty
I don’t need no one to tempt me
Thought I’d give you back some pity
Wonder why they distant with me
Let me know!
Even though
It doesn’t matter
Any more
The world’s cold but I love it so I never wanna die
But I’ll probably get killed because the beef ain’t aside
[Verse – August Wild & NittyGritty]
I used to have these old friends who would fry me on my swag
And now they take turns putting fries in my bag
I used to have a bunch of suckers that would teach me how to sag now the same one sporting a bra and coach bag
They turn me down as the nice guy, they was too bad
Now they hit me on the low to be they third baby Dad
Turn me down because I was broke and it wasn’t in a C class
Now I’m pulling up with money and she’s skimming through the trash
You see life has a funny way of comin back round
Me & Nitty told you boys we won’t ever backdown
Me and August hottest Summer on the beach don’t make a sound
August nights in the booth, make me sweat regret out
Let me know!
Even though
It doesn’t matter
Any more
I will never find peace if I’m always at war
what I know is what I know I know I’m headed for more
that’s a fact
Old Friends
[HOOK]
Old friends wanna block my shine
Fuck em
Can’t wait till the day I die
Fuck em
Walk around with my head held high
Fuck em
They can hate me but I
Love Em
Old friends talk about my past
Fuck em
Every time that I turn my back
Fuck em
Talk smack you’re gunna get smacked
Fuck em
Now, how do we feel about that?
Love em
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Snakes in the grass
So I mow mine twice
Friends keep a mask
With a switchblade knife
Ready for the backstabbin
Always want to fight
Put you in the past
Future looking bright
Loyalty so hard to find
I think it don’t exist
Money go away
Then they disappear
They fucking switch
Funny how I never needed you
But you needed me
Look around, no one around I know you’re feeling pissed
Old homies are the ones you gotta learn from
I got better things to do
Than just burn one burn one
You know, I Always keep it true
When my verse come
You know I’m always killing beef
Since my first gun
Don’t tell your people that you hate me
That’s jealousy
Friendships up and down
Can’t find the melody
Forgetting what they do to you
No memory
I recollect it all
Old friends ain’t shit to me
[HOOK]
Old friends wanna block my shine
Fuck em
Can’t wait till the day I die

Walk around with my head held high
Fuck em

Now, how do we feel about that?
Love em
[Verse – August Wild]
Thought I told you boys from the jump
I ain’t gon jump when you want me to jump
I move when I move
And I do what I want
I want all the smoke like I’m hogging the blunt
Whatchu know about comin out the mud
No handouts or love
Lovin everything you doin knowing that nobody does
Does it hurt when you looking at the man I’ve become
When you told me that I wouldn’t be shit when I young
Going dumb making fun of myself all because
Everybody used to laugh, I thought that was love
But deep down I knew none of yall gave a fuck
Everybody went away when I was down on my luck
Now I’m up
I know you hate that
I stay nvsty
And you stay mad
Keep my name out your mouth we can all coexist
Otherwise you can suck my dick
[HOOK]
Old friends wanna block my shine
Fuck em

Now I’m Up (feat. Duce Tro & AceBoogie)
[HOOK – Duce Tro]
I ain’t ever have a chance to stunt like this
work until I got it now I’m up like this
Kill it until you feel it yeah you fuck with this
Ain’t no luck with this
ain’t ever have a chance to stunt like this
work until I got it now I’m up like this
Kill it until you feel it yeah you fuck with this
Ain’t no luck with this
This
This
[Verse – Duce Tro]
IAOTIW
It ain’t over till I win
Motherfucker
How about you
Never give up
That’s something You don’t do
I just put in proof
Eyes so clear plus I’m widening my view
How many times I fell down?
Man More than two
Put a Method to my madness
No smoking in my truth
Like my cigarette, exhale stress
And when that fire comes
I don’t run
Been through all this hell
Shit, I’m supposed to stunt
Shooting for the home run
But I could take the bunt
Either way I slide For my motive
Bad bitch with fire Flower call her lotus
But I can’t let Delilah Take my focus
Hocus-pocus No jokes with it
Muhammad Ali how I float with it
Move like I mean it when approaching it
I aint Never had a chance
Now I got it, God d*mn
I’mma do my dance
Moonman Martian, I won’t ever land
Maybe Outta this world
But never outta my hands
Maybe Outta this world
But never outta my hands
I got control
This is my hold
This my hold
[Verse – NittyGritty]
I do my own stunts
Don’t need a stunt double
I Got my own love
Don’t need love from you
Push my own work
Don’t want work with you
I Put myself first I got a selfish issue
lucky me
I could come down from smoking tree and still be
higher than the ceiling of the roof be
Excuse me
Hotter than a Hundred degrees
Without in education
I Came straight from the bottom
They pulled me out the pavement
Shoot me in the head If I don’t kill it
I Don’t make a playlist
But All this music I’m making
I’m always playing it
Shawty getting naked I’m slaying it
I’m laying it
Crazy in the head but I love her for it
No basic bitch
The shady shit you see They try to block my sunshine
I still grind
Still got time to write a punchline
I don’t reply But I know they see me online
Cutting casts off
If they actin like a feline
Man watch out!
[HOOK – Duce Tro]
I ain’t ever have a chance to stunt like this
work until I got it now I’m up like this
Kill it until you feel it yeah you fuck with this
Ain’t no luck with this
ain’t ever have a chance to stunt like this
work until I got it now I’m up like this
Kill it until you feel it yeah you fuck with this
Ain’t no luck with this
This
This
[Verse – AceBoogie]
We ain’t never had shit
Had to run it up
Y’all done see me put in work
Never call it luck
See them switching on me now they out there looking Stuck
Only way they reaching out is asking for a couple bucks
Life so crazy
Want to make money
Take care of my baby
Find a Nice crib where the Trees real shady
Talking to neighbors like
“Hey miss lady”
If you let me, I’m a go and stunt
Pops told me Gotta Go and get it how I want
We ain’t nothing like them, dudes who always wanna front
With some big dogs
Man, we really grew off the runts
We’ve beenGrinding
Hoping that it’s worth it
Struggling every day cause Life ain’t perfect
I know that we Still hurting cause we Soul searching
Dream chasing and you know we still working
Hope this nine to five
Isn’t how we live our lives
I want to tell the world
See beaches from the sky
Win an award
That’s gonna Make my mama cry
And lLeave my son More than memories If I die
[Verse – August Wild]
I’m about to show you something you never thought I would say
My life’s been going good you boys can’t relate
Everyday I been doing what you boys can never do
I’m ashamed of myself that my enemy is you
You a biiiitch
No matter what you say about me
I know that deep down I am who you want to be
I got the kinda money you been lying to your bitch about
Got the kinda house you been lying to your bitch about
Who is she in love with?
Prolly not you
Everything you tell your bitch is prolly not true
Im bout to fuck around and wake you up to reality
You fat mutha fuckas getting burned like a calorie
I barely warming up
Your life’s been going down
My life’s been going up
And I’m never slowing up
Who the fuck do you think you are playing with me?
If I lost everything I have, you’d still be
A weak man, with deep rooted insecurities
Thinking they would disappear if you talk about me
At least keep with the facts
In fact, leave it to me
You be talking to bout yourself when you lie about me
[HOOK – Duce Tro]
I ain’t ever have a chance to stunt like this
work until I got it now I’m up like this
Kill it until you feel it yeah you fuck with this
Ain’t no luck with this
ain’t ever have a chance to stunt like this
work until I got it now I’m up like this
Kill it until you feel it yeah you fuck with this
Ain’t no luck with this

Bring Real Back
[Hook – August Wild & NittyGritty]
We about to bring back
We’re bringing real back and we are 100% and I know you feel that
We are about to bring back
That good music to your ear
Something dope something fresh you can ride while you steer
All you Gotta do is ride like this yeah this is my shit
All you Gotta do is ride like this yeah this is my shit
[Verse – NittyGritty]
I feel alive since I killed off the old me
I never did what I was told you cannot mold me
Feel broke from the lie that they told me
I miss the way it used to be low-key
Nobody real they ain’t real, so I’m authentic
Like what’s the deal how you feel unapologetic
This sweet ol line but I typed two diabetic
No one hold heir nuts in the flesh the keeper prosthetic
No fake arm or alarm in, I’m gonna keep the peace
Wish it was the old days missing how I used to be
I choose to be who I see when I look inside of me
Imitator see me and struggle Im who they’re trying to be
Aside for me, I know this life is getting harder for you
Wait a minute speaking to myself again I’m talking for you
Old memories that seem to be distracting for you
Holding onto how you felt is never doing nothing for you
[Hook – August Wild & NittyGritty]
We about to bring back
We’re bringing real back and we are 100% and I know you feel that
We are about to bring back
That good music to your ear
Something dope something fresh you can ride while you steer
All you Gotta do is ride like this yeah this is my shit
All you Gotta do is ride like this yeah this is my shit
[Verse – August Wild]
Life used to be much simpler in comparison
To these days
Everybody’s living in comparison
It seems like nobody gives a fuck about each other
And that’s why a lot of mission trying to make the world care again
I know I’ll probably sound hypocritical to all
My enemies and anyone who’s trying to see me fall
I am not like y’all
I embrace my flaws
I am a hypocrite fa sho
But that don’t make me wrong
Listen up
Every now and then put the fucking phone down
If you making moves, go and keep them on the lowdown
I don’t pay no mind to your follower count
Cause I have yet to see it equal to a dollar amount
Got 100 K followers doing something right?
But it pales in comparison to getting sunlight
On a boat on a lake with my phone disconnected
The old times died, but now it’s resurrected
[Hook – August Wild & NittyGritty]
We about to bring back
We’re bringing real back and we are 100% and I know you feel that
We are about to bring back
That good music to your ear
Something dope something fresh you can ride while you steer
All you Gotta do is ride like this yeah this is my shit
All you Gotta do is ride like this yeah this is my shit
Paradise
[HOOK]
Let me take you round the globe
Where you wanna go?
Paradise love

She wanna take a vacation
She like my paradise
When I’m with her I’m lucky
She like my pair of dice
Don’t gotta put her in check

Later that night
She in them heels when it’s Dinner time
I wanna catch a flight with her
Peep the higher view
Smoke a few
Tell you the truth
I wanna lie with you
Eyeing you
Vision impaired
But I can drive you crazy
can’t begin to fathom Or write down What I do to you
Cruising through I got my Sidekick with me, yeah
Leave your phone at home When you with Nitty, yeah
I know you’re back hurting
So let me hold them titties
I could die with you and get rich like 50 put it simply
Hair done
Nails done
Lay your head on the pillow
I care some
Fear none
But with you sentimental
I’m up the middle with it
Like a running back
Paradise loving Your Fire
As we prepare to match
[HOOK]
Let me take you round the globe
Where you wanna go?
Paradise love

[VERSE – August Wild]
I will never hurt you, I will never lie
Imma love your body till the day that I die
Loving so good that it make me wanna cry
This love is paradise, this love is paradise
Baby this the kinda love that make an atheist believe
In God, Heaven, and Hell
Think of what we can achieve
I know, we working hard cause we want a lot of things
But don’t get it confused, you are all I’ll ever need
In this life, the next life, and eternity
Come and put me to the test, I’m talking paternity
I promise I won’t leave
But trust, I’m taking leave
To spend time with you and our child
I wanna be
The best version of me
Everyday for you baby
Even though you are my angel I pray for you baby
I want do for you what you did for my soul

Keep It Hunnid (feat. SlowBurnCrew)
[Verse – August Wild]
I ain’t really with the talk im bout that action
You ain’t a drive like mine, that’s why you crashin
People I was fuckin with just hate me with a passion
When I’m not around they be talkin bout my fashion
I know who I am, I was born to be a star
My competition is soft, everyday I’m going hard
You was rappin for the look, you’ll never say another bar
Since you wanna talk about me lemme show you who you are
Insignificant
Only thing you care about is clout
You been watching how I move
But you need to watch your mouth
You gon make me fuck around and peace it up with everybody that I dissed
We ain’t got no smoke, you just a bitch
No amount of accolades
You get will make you feel
The love that I be getting from the homies cause I’m real
Jordan Peele, you been living in a shell of yourself
And I ain’t said one thing you ain’t telling yourself when you alone
[Hook – Maije of SlowBurnCrew]
Oh man
You couldn’t even buy what I’m saying
Oh man
I’d let you try but you wouldn’t understand
Keep it hunnid
Hunnid
Fuck 50
Keep it hunnid
Hunnid
Fuck 50
Keep it hunnid
Matter fact, fuck 98
You can lie to yourself before you come and lie to me
[Verse – SlowBurnCrew]
Nothing but Young kings in my section
Don’t got hoes don’t got thots
I got best friends
But I got a couple questions
How do I have a whole ass job
And a kid on the way
And I’m still getting
All of my reps in?
I’ve been changed
I’ve been grown
I’ve been humble
I’ve been Knocked down
And then Came back to the hustle
My Grandpa told me Never to give up When I’m feeling down
His passion keep me up Even though he’s not around
This feels like the part of life that’s feeling like we stuck in but
Honestly for me, it’s just the introduction
Cause I been in the epilogue
Been in the lowest part of life
Where I ain’t win at all
and I ain’t even finished Dog
Fuck it, We ain’t even finished Dog
Ever since SBC hit the scene
We been going off on our own plane own lane
Chump change
Till we make it
new wave In the making
[Hook – Maije of SlowBurnCrew]
Oh man
You couldn’t even buy what I’m saying
Oh man
I’d let you try but you wouldn’t understand
Keep it hunnid
Hunnid
Fuck 50
Keep it hunnid
Hunnid
Fuck 50
Keep it hunnid
Matter fact, fuck 98
You can lie to yourself before you come and lie to me
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Street lights on
But I’m still outside
I know They watch what I’m doing
But they still off time
And Shawty got a OnlyFans but she Still not fine
I’m In my own lane swerving but Never collide
Life used to be a wreck
I never call the paramedics
Took my losses as lessons
You hate me? It’s a blessing
I’m not the one to be guessing I read it how I read it
Don’t answer questions I solve problems
You won’t get it
Creep smooth
Something like TLC
I’m not your DOG I’m Off the leash with it
My sheets linen for clean bitches
I Mean business
I peeped in it
She seemed interest
I reached in it
My pants again they tell me it’s a tight fit
Suckas fuck with suckas and them suckas ain’t like this
You style crap
Nothing more That’s a period
My past was a joke
Wonder why I took it serious
[Hook – Maije of SlowBurnCrew]
Oh man
You couldn’t even buy what I’m saying
Oh man
I’d let you try but you wouldn’t understand
Keep it hunnid
Hunnid
Fuck 50
Keep it hunnid
Hunnid
Fuck 50
Keep it hunnid
Matter fact, fuck 98
You can lie to yourself before you come and lie to me
Still Waiting (feat. Cisco)
[Verse – August Wild]
All I ever wanted in this life was to provide
The life I’m living now I dreamt when I was 5
Comin out the east side
When the family got us out cause they was trying to survive
I ain’t ever ever goin back to barely getting by
I remember how it used to be
It’s not the shit you brag about
Sleeping on the floor, we as living at my gramma house
Daddy never cried he was trynna be a man about
Losing everything that I he loved
He couldn’t stand around
Doin nothing
That’s why I’m after something bigger than myself
But kinda like my Daddy I don’t need nobody help
Cause every fucking time I tried to trust somebody else
They leave me there to die every single time I fell
It turned me to real cold body
Had me walkin round this life like I know nobody
I don’t hold no body to the bar that I set
And the day I stop going for my dreams, I’ll be dead
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Dream chasing, complacent I’m Feeling like I’m last place
I’m On a mission
Gonna listen to me anyway
I’m Speaking real shit
I swear I’m past fake
Saw my brother through the glass
But I can’t break
Heartbreak
Thought I’d be further I Guess it’s too late
Can’t say that I had a father
Man, I hate his face
And We look alike
But we took different paths
Music was my destiny
I’d die if I ain’t wrote a rap
Spoke a fact
Now you relatin and tell me that was gas
Underestimated I’m Hated
I Hope I make ’em mad
I just wanna vent through the interface
Just wanna piss people off Today
Lookin at my wrist
It ain’t gold today
Still I’m authentic
Pretending ain’t what I demonstrate
see my face Struggle is written on it
I see my face
They still waiting on me
They’ll have to visit my grave
[Verse – Cisco]
You know
Many people we love
We owe thanks to
And without them
We wouldn’t be able to thank you
Pushin for somethin much bigger than myself
Puttin weights on my body these muscles gon help
I don’t do this shit for nobody but my own self
You thinkin that im selfish but you never lent help
How the fuck can I respect you but you don’t respect ya self
without a father to bother I was stuck on that shelf
Since 6yrs old been giving myself advice
Explains why the lefts that I took weren’t right
Was meant for the pen but I put one in my hand
Without my grandmother a nigga would’ve been dead
Reachin for the heavens everytime I think bad
I think back bout the bad times that we had
The places we once was and the ppl that we got now
Grateful to be headed for heights we never thought bout
Can’t comprehend all the obstacles overcame
Could give a fuck if they know me or know my name
Rearview
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Too much pressure it’s Extra
It’s on my shoulders
Notice I Came from the pain
And it never changed
Thinking ’bout my memories
Friends turned enemies
Looking back Pictures were painted From all the stress that came
Try to sleep
But I’m Tossing, turning
Stomach is churning
Money motivated me
I’m not worthless
Still I hate My old self
Wish it hurt less
Regrets and I hide it With sex
But really feel depressed
I remember Putting five on pump five
And Take the other five
and drive and get high
I was Breathing
still I felt off I’m dead inside
What’s the meaning
They pick out a coffin when I die
Trying to put it all behind me
The weight is hard to carry though
I’m Merry-go ride
I’m running in circles tough to bury those
Feelings and emotions
I Hear ’em on the stereo
Talk about my past
But the future I got room to grow
[Verse – August Wild]
Tell me what you wanna know
I’m an open book
I can tell you what I got or I can show you what it took
I misunderstood, what it would
Take for me to start
No one tells you growing up
Will also mean you grow apart
From the people that you hold within your heart
Pardon me
I get overly emotional thinking of memories
I remember all of us would always talk about our dreams
Now I only get to kick it with the homies in my dreams
Such is life
Looking at my life
How can I be down
I got every need when I take a look around
Cause I used to think that happiness was when you had a lot
Now I know that I happiness I being good with what you got
I remember having nothing
I would find some kind of joy
I been sad having money
I been happy unemployed
And the opposite was true
And true enough, it’s nothing new
You either point the blame
Or change your point of view
[Hook]
Looking back at my life
I reminisce
Look at that
I came far
I Made ’em pissed
Keep the stacks
I like ’em large
I want ’em crisp
Rear view
It’s in the past
It don’t exist
Rear view
See my life in the rear view

See my life in the rear view

I see my life in the rear view
The rear view

Looking back at my life

Better Off Alone
[HOOK]
I don’t belong most places I go
But honestly I just don’t care no more
I think I’m better off alone
I think I’m better off alone
I don’t wanna be
Like everybody else who can’t recognize who they are no more
I don’t wanna be like everybody else
I’m down to be alone
Down to be alone again
[Verse – August Wild]
Imagine what it feels like when everybody ghosts you
When you just wanna talk about the kind of shit you go through
And everybody treat you like it’s something that you don’t do
You got a lot of feelings as a man you’re not supposed to
Luckily for me, I learned a very good lesson
Take the free game, you just gotta pay attention
If you always dying on a hill by yourself
Being everybody else is a curse, not a blessing
That’s the way it used to be in every fucking message
But what the world‘s becoming man I never would’ve guessed it
Everybody got no shame, they even flex it
So when you have integrity, you know they wanna test it
They’ll do a lot of shit because they wanna see your breaking point
Im trynna make a difference and these haters wanna make a point
Never let them make me an example for nothing
Unless we talking about somebody that was standing for something
[HOOK]
I don’t belong most places I go
But honestly I just don’t care no more
I think I’m better off alone
I think I’m better off alone
I don’t wanna be
Like everybody else who can’t recognize who they are no more
I don’t wanna be like everybody else
I’m down to be alone
Down to be alone again
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Said I’m Better off alone
Had to learn it all The hard way
No one ever checked on me
When I had an off day
Mask on they face
Two-face like it’s cosplay
I was Never in good hands
I had No all-state
Penny pinching Just to get it
I would Cross you
Broke a couple ankles On the way
And Prayed to God too
Forgive me for my sins
I’m Learning without a classroom
False hope Seeing my future
I’m Looking past you
we not the same Not the same
I’m a rare breed
I Paid the price For my feelings
I Wasn’t carefree
I wanna box With the millions
Like I was Ali
I’ll be Posted up lonely
No one beside me
Isolation dangerous
Already know what pain is
I Wanted more Than be famous
I want my circle spacious
can lock us up & detain us
But thoughts are always racing
See myself in you but we different
I Hate to say it
But
[HOOK]
I don’t belong most places I go
But honestly I just don’t care no more
I think I’m better off alone
I think I’m better off alone
I don’t wanna be
Like everybody else who can’t recognize who they are no more
I don’t wanna be like everybody else
I’m down to be alone
Down to be alone again
Not One Thing (feat. Aztek)
[Verse – August Wild]
I feel this deep pain in my soul
From a time, I just can’t seem to let go
I’m so throwed I know, but don’t hold the truth back
That’s the only way that I’m ever going to grow
This road I’m driving ons not memory Lane
I take the same roads to home every day
But way back in the day, I was rolling with the gang
Made a promise to each other we were never gonna change
We broke that, but that’s on me. I went away.
Sometimes I wish I was Matthew McConaughey
Going back to the past, trying to tell myself to stay
But even if I could, I wouldn’t listen anyway
But hey, that’s the way life goes when you live
Fast like a NASCAR trying to do it big
I wish I knew then what I know right now
But I don’t regret not one thing I did
Not one
[Verse – Aztek]
It was set trippin
Gang banging and dope slinging
Had to do a little bit of the second to get the payment
Red and blue lights
Red and blue numbers
Upmost respect
’Cause I came out that motherfucker
But that wasn’t me
And I knew what I wanted
Keep it to yourself
And Soak up all the knowledge
Never went to college
If you need to use the violence
Butt Stack it in the safe
Keep chasing them commas, yeah
I’m Still living and breathing
And I’ll Be damned if a motherfucker,
Thinking I’m sleeping
And I Been on some real shit
Even scheduled next weekend
And I can’t let a motherfucker think he own my freedom
No regrets on the barrel when I spit it
I done put in enough work To say I did it
I’mma be a Legend from beginning To the end
And I Won’t stop
Till the whole team winning
Not one
[Verse – NittyGritty]
No regretting I’m letting the Past go
Fast forward
I’m Selective with friends, they scando
Getting Cash flow
Move around
Don’t let the grass grow
I remember rolling my problems inside tobacco
Life of Lasso it’s Two steps
Then Five back
Odds? I defied that
They can’t deny that
Tell me where I lied at
Now I see they sleeping on me
Came from the mud
With a Fresh fit
No heat up on me
Speak up on me
Still I’d die a man
Before I shoot a opp
Driving crazy in the whip
I’m going through a lot
If I ain’t got it
But you got it
Give me what you got
Envy in they eyes
I see it
So I Let ’em watch
Not one thing About me is irrelevant
I’m So in touch With the music so They feeling it
I can never hold The truth back
I’m real with it
I will never fold or Bend back
I deal with it
[Hook – August Wild & Aztek]
Not one
Thing I regret in this game

Put in that work with no shame
Not one
Pick up the weapon and not aim
Not one
Not one
Not one
Not one
not one
Not one
Thing I regret in this game
Not one
Put in that work with no shame
Not one
Pick up the weapon and not aim
Not one

Self Luv
[Verse -NittyGritty]
I was lost hated who I was
Now I’m loving who I am
I Became an artist
Trying to make ’em understand
Never knew my worth
I was Way below a band
When my circle got small
Saw the growth firsthand
Struggle that’s what made me
How could I forget?
Self-doubt with my Image
I was changing up my fits
Family on drugs
They ain’t really give a shit
Now I’m older
And find it hard to learn to forgive
Misfit I was Hanging with lost souls With Small goals
Dodging my responsibilities Like a pothole
Relating to the ones coming from a divorced home
Now you need a membership t fuck with me
Like Costco
Learned who I’m destined to be
I’ll never back down
Project Nostalgia, is who I am now
Had to let the pain Define me
’Cause it helps out
One thing I’ll never go back to
Is self-doubt
[HOOK]
I’m the one from the struggle
Who ain’t never gave up
But I’m just like you
Feel I never had enough
I don’t want excuses
I don’t need no crutch
Gotta bury self-doubt
Just to get self-love
Self-love
Putting all my problems in the past
Self-love
I’m the one to pick up all the slack
Self-love
If I’m making me some scratch
Self-love
I’m the one
[Verse – August Wild]
This is me talking to myself when I was young
I wish you didn’t listen to the hate when you know that you’re the one
If you wasn’t tell me why when you’re confidence is up
They be trynna bring you down
Cause you’re more than enough
Enough thinking you’re not
Now I’m taking off the gloves
If the whole world hates you you still got love
In your heart, for yourself
Fuck everybody else
I’m done fuckin around just in case you couldn’t tell
You been so damn worried bout every thought of you
You been wasting life not doing what you gotta do
Grinding
Putting in work while they gossip
You don’t wanna fit in them rooms, you need to stop it
Every time you leave that room, you’ll be the topic
People only talk shit, when they know they not shit
But I know it hurts losing friends that you love
But trust me when I say that you always been the one
[HOOK]
I’m the one from the struggle
Who ain’t never gave up
But I’m just like you
Feel I never had enough
I don’t want excuses
I don’t need no crutch
Gotta bury self-doubt
Just to get self-love
Self-love
Putting all my problems in the past
Self-love
I’m the one to pick up all the slack
Self-love
If I’m making me some scratch
Self-love
I’m the one
[HOOK]
I’m the one from the struggle
Who ain’t never gave up
But I’m just like you
Feel I never had enough
I don’t want excuses
I don’t need no crutch

Self-love
Putting all my problems in the past

Show Me
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Don’t just talk about it Show me
People all around me But I’m lonely
I’m closed off If you don’t know me
The old me Was the cold me
I’m tired of it
Everybody wanna try to force me To be the worst version
Hurt person
Trying to walk away But that only make the hurt worsen
No speaking in cursive Tell me why you twist my words up?
They Artificial and fictional That’s my first thought
First off, judging the cover Won’t get you autographs
If I ever make it they’ll stop hating and forget the past
Show me where the love went Show me where I care at
My heart is heavy can see it in a photograph
Picture worth a million words Mindful of paragraphs
In song form and I’m Known to write a verse fast
If actions louder Why they quiet when I come around?
Talk behind my back Like I don’t hear it
Let’s Tone it down
That’s why I thank God that He showed me
The true colors of people I see they phony
Come to when I’m older should’ve got some funds
Love me when I’m gone
But while I’m here Nobody showing up
[Verse – August Wild]
Don’t just talk about it show me
Don’t just talk about it show me, show me
You even gotta try showing me the person that you is
Everything you never try to show
Time already did
Show me that you want it more that you want it more than me I’ll give you all of it
Every time I gave my heart away they would demolish if
Everybody did me dirty All I did was polish it
Don’t nobody want it more than me I’m takin all of it
For me & mine
Member when you used to be apart of that
Tell me how you left in the same place that we started at?
Show me where your heart is at
I can always tell
Cause I’m working for the team
You been working for yourself
And you still broke
Tell me how you greedy and poor
But now I think I understand what you needed me for
You been acting like the greatest, like you got it like that
But we both know the truth, you a spoiled lil brat
That’s why I thank God that he showed me
Everybody’s colors even if it left me lonely
Now I understand he was protecting me from
All the snakes in the grass and you lazy ass bums
Trust Issues (feat. angel ochoa.)
[Verse – NittyGritty]
A diamond in the dirt
But you still flawed
Love made me look past it
Let my heart thaw
I can’t trust you
If we argue and don’t bond
I just need you to be true and take your clothes off
Admired your body But always praise your mental
My number one will Never second like a pencil
You want me reading your mind then it’s gonna be an issue
I guarantee to be the only one who always gets you
I Shoot my shot Like a pistol
I keep my standards high
Smoking to suppress my feelings
Was feeling dead inside
And You the same We relate
We See eye to eye
Gotta keep it civilized
Ready for compromise
I hate to socialize
Never been a people person
I like my woman opposite
Be a different version
And We ain’t versus
I want us on the same team
Same page
Writing this song
So you can blame me
[Hook – angel ochoa. & August Wild]
The seventh seal, if you need me by your side while you’re trying to heal
This is not a dream, baby girl this is real
This is not a dream, baby girl this is real
The seventh seal, if you need me by your side while you’re trying to heal
This is not a dream, baby girl this is real
This is not a dream, baby girl this is real
[Verse – angel ochoa.]
i’m off of this
steady movement stunt my growth please don’t profit it
if you can’t see me do you know then what a prophet is?
if you can’t see for who i am then what is all of this?
extravagant
girl i know you fuck with diamonds and pearls
but if we can’t sacrifice dinners can i give you the world?
shi
well let’s use these words as referral
you remind me of the art that i see on those murals
trust is my pops worst enemy
and as a result thats been carried down the line genetically
expose every bone in flesh God revealing the rest
insecurity and pictures of folks that are ahead of me
position on earth is stamped in the book of life
and as i move forward with this weight and the bright lights
if i am who i am and you pick up my dirty bags
then let’s go extra slow when we moving tonight
so baby
[Hook – angel ochoa. & August Wild]
The seventh seal, if you need me by your side while you’re trying to heal
This is not a dream, baby girl this is real
This is not a dream, baby girl this is real
The seventh seal, if you need me by your side while you’re trying to heal
This is not a dream, baby girl this is real
This is not a dream, baby girl this is real
[Verse – August Wild]
Serpents in the garden, poison apples in the trees
That is proof manipulation doesn’t look how you believe
When the demons and the angels both have wings
Put your trust in ya self and not the beauty of a thing
I remember being 6, my identity confused
Everybody had opinions on a life I didn’t choose
14:22, the path was revealed
But unbeknownst to me I wasn’t behind the wheel
It was God
Giving me purpose in my depression
Word to usher Raymond there’s a rhythm in my confession
If I only learned one lesson in this life, you can still be lost even when you have direction
I’ve been brokenhearted by people I thought I trusted
Family members, girlfriends, best friends
Crushed it
7:13 then I turned 23
The path I was on would’ve led to destruction
Can’t Tell Me
[HOOK]
Can’t nobody tell me how LIVE
Even when they try to bring you down you gotta
LIVE
You ain’t gotta be the best
But you know you gotta LIVE
Gotta realize you get one chance to LIVE
Everybody dies so that mean you gotta LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
[Verse – August Wild]
Baby all this time I couldn’t see
I was being who they wanted me to be
Got away and now I’m getting back to me
But who am I? Who is me?
I’mma find out
Life is like a journey
Not a place
Happiness is kind of like a marathon and not a race
Imma take my time, baby, I ain’t in a rush
One thing about time, never know when it’s up
So I’m up
Doing what I was born too baby
I could tell you what I will and I won’t do, baby
Imma chase my dreams with my middle fingers high
And I’m never giving up until the day I fucking die
My haters wanna see me in a grave or a ditch
If I died right now you would still be a bitch
Imma keep on doing what I do, and do it big
Yeah imma do it big baby
[HOOK]
Can’t nobody tell me how LIVE
Even when they try to bring you down you gotta
LIVE
You ain’t gotta be the best
But you know you gotta LIVE
Gotta realize you get one chance to LIVE
Everybody dies so that mean you gotta LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Imma see the dirt
After living on a shirt on some linen
But for now, I gotta get it
Grew up, broke without a question
Took some losses made them lessons
I was Stressing as an adolescent
Music my confession
Now I Ride slow
Music rolled down Life’s a blessing
Got a dime on my side
Was a nine, but I switched it
Can’t nobody tell me How to live
I’m my own person
And you were a straight bitch If you hating
Should carry purses
I’m nursing and I nurture my peace
Like I’m a soldier
Thought I told you
I’mma what I want
Not what they showed us
Chasing dreams
See in the future without a boulder on my shoulders
Cause the Weight getting heavy
Hard to hold up
But I’m a get through it
Can’t nobody hold me down
And I gotta get to it
Makes the world go around
Money evil But I’m prolly gon die with it
I’m counting on it
Believe in me and I’m standing on it
[HOOK]
Can’t nobody tell me how LIVE
Even when they try to bring you down you gotta
LIVE
You ain’t gotta be the best
But you know you gotta LIVE
Gotta realize you get one chance to LIVE
Everybody dies so that mean you gotta LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Can’t nobody tell me
Can’t nobody tell me how to LIVE
Proud of You
[Verse – August Wild]
My dad’s daddy was an alcoholic
My dad himself was an alcoholic
Even I was an alcoholic
Wonder what my child’s gonna be once they get the knowledge
Everybody wants the best for they kid
Every now and then I think about advice I would give
That’s when I really gotta think about the life that I lived
One day I’m going to tell my child never do what I did
They’ll probably look at me confused
Askin what I mean
Everything you did got you everything you dreamed
But I was in the past so focused on the future
I damn near forgot about the moments in between
Life is never what it seems when you want somebody else’s
Look within yourself every time you feel helpless
You might not feel too strong but you are
And on the day I go, know I’m always in your heart
[HOOK]
Listen up
Listen up
Who you are, is enough
And I’m gunna tell you, what nobody told me
I love who you are, you are my baby
And I’m, so, proud of you
I’m, so, proud of you
I’m, so, proud of you
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Grew up too fast wasn’t acting my age
Young men don’t be hardheaded life is precious. That’s the game.
Things can change don’t be putting a blame on other folks
Take a look at the image in the mirror went alone
I was smoking just a cop I was sprinting away
Don’t want to deal with your problems. Keep your shoes laced.
So you can run so far I know how that feels
Family never had my back wouldn’t care if I was killed wouldn’t
But the pattern won’t continue
I’m about to be a better father
And I gotta teach you what they never taught us, son or daughter
You got a voice and you gotta say
I promise I’m gonna never make you fall in love with the pain
Like I did as a kid
I was out in the streets with no love in the household
I’m incomplete
Drugs tear apart, what a kid really fiends
Appreciate your children before they cuss you out and leave
[HOOK]
Listen up
Listen up
Who you are, is enough
And I’m gunna tell you, what nobody told me
I love who you are, you are my baby
And I’m, so, proud of you
I’m, so, proud of you
I’m, so, proud of you
