Gotta be someway to get me outta this slump Get me out the slums and get me over the hump Into some new shit, a Tesla is what I want Maybe a bank account with 5 and 6 zeros in the front...amen I mean I really dunno where to begin I got a humble heart so why am I attracted to sin Slowly losing my friends, am I losing my way Tell me when does it end, fuck it I need the pay But is it sinnin when you’re winnin off of shit that is forbidden Something that’s god given, I’m slowly losing religion My creator ain’t go steer me wrong So either love me or leave me alone You know I’ll find my way to you Lead me to the light Breeze me through this life You know I’ll find my way to you Lead me to the light Breeze me through this life I think today I’ll grab my raincoat Cuz I don’t see any sun I don’t feel anyone but you Look out the window life is blooming Should I go Should I run I don’t know, maybe just something to do I’m gonna go and tell everybody it’s true Even for you I’m gonna go and tell everybody it’s true Even for you I’ll find my way to you Lead me to the light Breeze me through this life You know I’ll find my way to you Lead me to the light Breeze me through this life Lotta terror. Lotta error in our ways From an era telling us that crime pays Gotta shorty loving deep in my mindstate I’m tryna lose this weight Because this love here cannot wait Someone tell me what are these dreams all about Dodi Phy was having nightmares and he couldn’t get out Most mornings I’m waking up and I feel fine But every now and then I hold a grudge over spilt time Where would I be in life if I could just rewind And throw up the peace signs to all of those future mistakes Prolly be dead, locked up and thrown away Maybe now I might finally catch my break Finally see the days where my humble getaways Turn into major plays for my future escapes I gotta win just say when Not only for myself but for my fam in the state pen My mothers and brothers, sisters and papas Innocent bystanders getting shot down by coppers These thoughts keep on holding me hostage In the mirror every day telling him that you got this I’ll find my way to you Lead me to the light Breeze me through this life You know I’ll find my way to you Lead me to the light Breeze me through this life You know I’ll find my way to you Lead me to the light Breeze me through this life Only through the dark do we find the will to search And only through search do we find the light

If I ask I shall receive If I ask I shall receive I was out getting on my own Working 2 or 3 jobs While these demons tried to get me out my zone Make a nigga want to rob Now I’m thankful that a nigga’s not alone And she blessed me with a squad Now we running towards our million dollar goals And it’s all because of god Lord knows lord knows Only lord knows how I feel about the struggle I’ve been up all day, all night, tryna find the antidote to double up my hustle Speeding through the red lights Momma know I got my head right And she praying for me err night Plus me and my people plan is looking air tight I was steady scheming Billion dollar dreaming Moving towards my vision and I didn’t need a reason Now the odds are even And my team is eating Some of us is skeptical but now we all believing She’s got me. Gods got my back. This ain’t a song I ain’t alone in that So even through the darkness when we take a couple licks Best believe we gon bounce right back I was out getting on my own Working 2 or 3 jobs While these demons tried to get me out my zone Make a nigga want to rob Now I’m thankful that a nigga’s not alone And she blessed me with a squad Now we running towards our million dollar homes And I put that on God Ask for it Ask for it You don’t know what you’ll get What you get All you gotta do is ask for it Ask for it You don’t know what you’ll get Look what you did I’ve been waiting so long still know answer Hoping, complaining, but not taking chances I’ve cried for it I’ll fight for it I’d even give my life for it I’d die for it No innocence Commit crime for it Tell the truth I’d even lie for it Ask for it Ask for it You don’t know what you’ll get What you get All you gotta do is ask for it Ask for it You don’t know what you’ll get Take a look at what you did I was out getting on my own Working 2 or 3 jobs While these demons tried to get me out my zone Make a nigga want to rob Now I’m thankful that a nigga’s not alone And she blessed me with a squad Now we running towards our million dollar goals And it’s all because of God

All these secrets it’s getting harder to keep My angels are speaking louder they’re whispering in my sleep Saying you’ll never will amount to nothing All these opportunities you out here bluffing That broke the Camel's back It’s hard to move on Take’s heart to be strong Take’s will to let go and invest in your tempo It all sounds so simple but take it from me A living example you sow what you reap I practice I preach But only to me The sum of that product you get what you see I had to creep up on him Look deep inside what was coming from me I swear I had to sneak up on him I had to reach the bottom I had to empty out my well, before I could seek asylum Could write a book about him Thought I’d be shook without him He wasn’t living in the moment no guarantees tomorrow I mean how you gone be outta shape trying to chase these dreams Trying to create a new reality won’t invest yo being You won’t jump off the ledge so you can see that you fly So when the end/in come and you aint satisfied Ohhhhh Now that you know Say what you What you gonna do now That you know Say what you What you gonna do Sad days turn to pathways Intervening all of my bad way I’m feeling mediocre Slightly average while the demon that’s inside is reeking havoc I’ve been breaking bad Instead of breaking habits Like since 21 been nothing but a savage Should be calling shots like the owner of the mavericks Living out my means instead of living lavash Done carried so much weight on me Got some bait and a net just trying to catch a break homie I feel something on the way it’s on the tip of my tongue If I’m giving 100 it’s gonna take 101 From sun up to sun up Sprint like a runner Setting alarms just trying to get my ones up Nothing in the way except me know So on my momma imma hold me down I mean how you gon be outta shape trying to chase these dreams Trying to create a new reality won’t invest your being You won’t jump off the ledge so you can see that you fly So when the end/in come and you aint satisfied Ohhhhh Now that you know Say what you What you gonna do now That you know Say what you What you gonna do When I was just a little boy playing around with big dreams Didn’t know what life would bring Do you remember Now I’m off the training wheels Working hard to pay the bills Sung in minor melodies It gets colder in december Now that you’ve opened up your mind eyes to see the mysteries of antiquity Revelations. A conversation Communicating situations To find relation I’ve been on another one Now that you know Ohhhhh Now that you know Say what you What you gonna do now That you know Say what you What you gonna do Now what happens when you’re faced with a choice I mean, not just an average choice I’m talking about the choice to change When you get knowledge that’s so sweet, that you have no choice but to become different What do you do then Do you just sit back and wait, and let it pass Do you live your life knowing what you know And not applying what you know, to be the best you that you could be Or do you use that knowledge as fuel and go after your deepest desires What do you do when you’re faced with that choice

It took a few tries to get me here Looked myself in the mirror I see I’m facing fear Even through all the steam that shit was crystal clear Had to sort through my conscious as if the end is near I persevere What’s my purpose here Had to ask myself honestly am I worth it Chyea I gotta move across this earth the only way that I know I sometimes feel my family’s cursed I’ve gotta break the cycle No more Mr. Nice Guy I’m going bad like Michael Saw the image of a white guy I had to question bible Is it really what it is or am I being lied to They put my people on them boats and had us work the bayou I don’t know I see my heart don’t like to hold a grudge I stay alive to spread good vibes and show my people love And for all of my efforts just like to hold a dub From like a million good people that would cheer me up God’s got her way with me so I’m just gonna claim it Given you everything that I came with Watch me I just want to be a made man Blueprints and courage carried in both hands Up earlier than birds fam Affirming my destiny Imma make it I just want to be a made man Blueprints and courage carried in both hands Up earlier than birds fam Affirming my destiny Imma make it To be or not to be What’s gotten into me I roll a blunt then blow my mind like John Kennedy This isn’t it for me Reroute my legacy Forgive my pedigree you never can change history I feel my flaws eroding me like a sore thumb But you can’t be perfect so I ignore some Slowing down progress I’ll overcome them I’ll be patiently waiting until my time comes A ticking time bomb Don’t even know Shawn But HereamI giving you something to explore on When it’s all done and said I come out ahead It happens time and time God strike me if I’m lying My 3rd eye is shining Sometimes think I am Kinfolk to Myan resurrecting through time All I know is imma stay fed I’m a wolf out the sota yall niggas playing dead I just want to be a made man Blueprints and courage carried in both hands Up earlier than birds fam Affirming my destiny Imma make it I just want to be a made man Blueprints and courage carried in both hands Up earlier than birds fam Affirming my destiny Imma make it This is Affirmation Music This is Affirmation Music Affirmation Music This is Affirmation Music This is Affirmation Music Affirmation Music

What a night to be out frolicing no cares Fine dining, beautiful woman everywhere Hoodie niggas they sit in the back and pass blunts Celebrating catching up from last month Toast to success and setting goals Proper preparation I promise and we will never fold We gotta dream like kids do even though we getting old Embracing all of our fears is worth its weight in gold Momma I’m sorry it took so long You gon be proud of the one they call Shawn I know we ain’t there yet But I feel us getting close And any minute girl I swear we’ll be on I started erasing all of my bad habits that came from contemptment Analyzing, rearranging and it started to make sense If I am who I am and I build up my content Give it to the world get return on investment Dollars from cents Hoopty to Benz Saw the grass was much greener so I hopped off the fence Searching for God Found her within Conversations with the high communicated through pen Planting seeds of ideas even though I dunno With a little bit of water imma see that it grows Life’s too short it comes and it goes Sit back and watch the story unfold You’ve got your mind made up boy You know that change gon come come come come It took a long time to get here, you gotta go through it There’s no other way around it baby It’s too late too late Ain’t no turning back You gotta get there Times a wastin It’s too late too late Life was good until you figured it out You gotta get there Times a wastin Feel the pressures of making money from major moves Put a lot of time in it I feel I’ve paid my dues Had to go out in public and meet the who’s who’s Then I channelled my station to spread the good news A lot of sessions manifesting look at what we built A lot of lessons count our blessings cleaned up the spilt milk A little bit insane going against these odds Just to make it to a place where they expose your flaws I ain’t worried about it at all my wounds done scarred Like a 5’7” hooper how I stay on guard Eye’s behind head shout out to my squad Amazin what’s accomplished taking action from thought That’s what it bees like these days Hard to find a woman going through this phase I’d love to be in love but I’m okay It’s the sacrifice I make to get my family straight But we can get a drink and that’s for sanity sake Got a meeting with my lawyer don’t want to be late I don’t want to be just good I want to be great So that everybody at the table can eat off my plate Seeds of ideas even though I don’t know With a little bit of water imma see that it grow Life’s too short it comes and it goes Sit back and watch the story unfold You’ve got your mind made up boy You know that change gon come come come come It took a long time to get here, you gotta go through it There’s no other way around it baby It’s too late too late Ain’t no turning back You gotta get there Times a wastin It’s too late too late Life was good until you figured it out You gotta get there Times a wastin Don’t you waste it

These days I ain’t waiting on no one...got a lot more miles to go Thank god for my mamma and my dads son, but i’m thinking what I got to show For all of the years you putting food on my plate Pumping tires for all the rules we’d break So inspired at the end of the day Die from the fame that’s the risk I would take To make sure all of my people eat Swear to god I will never sleep Going hard all day, burning holes shoes, I grow callus before I meet defeat Kinda hard just to keep the peace No love brewing in the streets Use to sell a little weed, just to make a little cash, and the nigga went and brought the heat What’s a life to live without love to give, holding on to all the lies and the suffering Add war to divide the unconscious men, they accomplishments is what we’re up against No nonsense can you take a hint, going through hell and you’re back again It’s like you really can’t see what is happening, can’t spend your whole life living on the fence It’s like one day you’re here, and the next one you’re not Can’t hold back gotta push forward, gotta give it all you got Don’t stop, you’re too close to the top See the moment that you stop The next one you could’ve made it pop But you lost your way from the fear of the drop Don’t wait till tomorrow Don’t wait on that love train Don’t wait till tomorrow Don’t wait on that love train yeah Wait. Hold up. So you had a kid and you slowed up Had to go and get a job and lost focus, that’s that system trying to control us See the things that they told us Take that weight up off your shoulders Why work for the man when you can be the man, yeah you can be the owner Stack doe like your Homer Do anything you wanna See the schedules that they make and the rules that you break You can make your own up How many jobs it takes before a good dream dies Took acting and music to feel a true fiends high Nine to five was like suicide But the sound of the waves that shit saved my life Told my daddy I loved him and watched a grown man cry Can’t deny what you feel inside Don’t wait trying to get the feelings right Nod your head if you feel me like Yes. Perfect time to be blessed No I won’t stress what’s up next when I got right now When I wake up in the morning love I won’t wait When I wake up in the morning love I won’t wait Don’t wait till tomorrow (When I wake up in the morning love) Don’t wait on that love train Don’t wait till tomorrow (When I wake up in the morning love) Don’t wait on that love train Don’t wait till tomorrow Don’t wait on that love train Don’t wait till tomorrow Don’t wait on that love train Don’t wait till tomorrow Don’t wait on that love train Don’t wait till tomorrow Don’t wait on that love train yeah

about

Act:1 is the first of 3 projects that will set the stage of my musical Journey. 513 are my angle numbers that have followed me as a reminder that my people always got my back. Paired with dynamic instrumentals and lyrics signed, sealed, and sent out to the Uni, we're left with affirmation music. iNjoy the Ride.
