How do you feel? How do you feel right now? As the world slows down Can you tell me? How do you feel? How do you feel right now? Feel the rain just pouring down I don't really feel myself Trying my best to heal myself To the way I use to be To the way I use to be Feeling my will is breaking I can hear the bells ringing Are they calling for me? Are they calling for me? Praying for purpose Don't know what my worth is But wondering if I am worth your time (Feels like I'm falling behind) Lost in my thoughts Don't know what is real Conceal my emotions for a chance for me to feel (Can you give me a sign?) (Lord) I've been feeling down (Lord) I don't wanna drown (Lord) Can you help me stand? (Lord) Lend a helping hand (Lord) But I don't understand why you put me through so much pain It's like I'm getting used like a rag, I feel so fucking drained (Lord) It's a war outside Listen to my battle cry Vision is getting darker as it's getting harder to survive (Lord) I don't wanna die (Lord) I don't wanna die (Lord) I don't wanna die (Lord) I wanna feel alive So high, I can touch the sky Touch the sky (What do you want in this life?) I wanna feel alive Oh Lord, give me a sign Give me a sign Don't leave me alone in my mind (Mind, mind, mind)

(Solitude) Uhh (Solitude) Uhh (Solitude) Mic (Mic) Check (Check) One (One) Two (Two) yeah What's on your mind? (Yeah) The mask, behind (Uh) What's on your mind? Time to unwind Trapped inside this mental asylum Caged within the bottom where the silence will triumph Pardon my solitude, been lately feeling so blue I sound like Langston Hudges while spitting my issues Tryna keep my balance steady but this sickness got me slippin' Praying for you to listen and see my vision Is it as clear as the sky or dark as my skin color Cause I don't know if they'll ever try to help or kill one another Fallen brother, I salute you and the other troops Shot down and hung by crooked noose Nothing we ain't used to, but that's the dark reality Replay every angle to have it trapped in our memory New age society, but it's like we're moving backwards I wish there was a way to rewrite these chapters And change these lost stories into glimmers of hope But without seeds of pain, there would be no growth I'm hanging on by a thread of a rope Tryna align the path but these demons got needles to my throat Poking me with the temptation of what is desired Of lighting the stage fire and coming out a survivor I rather live through the wire than live with regret and shame Feel the pain with the knowledge of the lessons that came As I walk through the valley of these shadows that haunt me In a suburban hood city where these eyes forever watch me I just want you to show me, what's really destined for me? I wanna reach my full potential, but not pull a Broly Living in my head too much, I think I need some space Another 6 feet distance relating to our current state Paranoia, can't refuse it So why get so lost in the music? Cause it's therapeutic to help the souls feeling useless I remember as a teen this is the dream that I was after I wish I was prepared for this fairy tale to have bloody chapters Ohh Bloody chapters (Blood chapters) Bloody Chapters Welcome to our Bloody Chapters Can you tell me what's on your mind? All the scars you left behind Trust me, it will be fine Just open up the blinds

Rear View 03:39
Watch close in your rear view They might be right beside you Nowadays I'm just waiting for the sun to shine Cause all I see is dark clouds when I open the blinds My mind is haunted, lost in a daze, I'm feeling nauseous Tryna hold it together despite how much I feel exhausted Regardless of the pain, I take pleasure in the rain As it clears the stains of what these serpents have acclaim Tryna put smut on my name, why the hell am I worried? I feel like I'm being buried by this unfair jury I can now see now how Meek felt while his cards was delt They treat him like a Joker, but the people saw a king that was welt Much respect, I'm just tryna to project But they rather silence me like I was another immigrant I know I'm not innocent, but why me? You caused a disease while I'm just tryna live free Now I'm trapped in these chains again, I wanna get out I'm tryna find the key but ain't nobody seem to vouch You better watch your back Cause you don't know when they might attack Watch close in your rear view You better hold your guard They'll shake your hand and then stab your heart They might be right beside you You better watch your back Cause you don't know when they might attack Watch close in your rear view You better hold your guard They'll shake your hand and then stab your heart They might be right beside you I've been bugging lately I don't like myself in the mirror lately I'm fading away from myself, is this freedom? Maybe I think it's a trap to bring me back to the darkness Make me feel like Ye in '08, cold and heartless But I fight my hardest even though I'm not a boxer I feel tangled in these ropes against my own monster The meal is served with envy and fake spread I see your scarps, why would you feed in with what they said? Misleading the conversation, discredit your admirations The character allegations, putting you through damnation Trying to take precautions, so you pull a 180 They bump you into more trails, now they driving you crazy Calm your rage, give em space, before we catch a case Don't give in what they came to chase Waiting to catch you slipping, hoping for you to crash While their trickery flash fast, ending you up on the dash I look behind the mask like Michael A twisted cycle Chopped up like a broken vinyl I see these are my rivals that was blocking my journey Judging my way of living but claiming they love me Fuck off, I know your ways are evil Your speech is welcoming, but your actions are more deceitful Inject the pure minds with your manipulation and poison I speak the truth and the words that are forever anointed Remember this lesson to keep myself driven Keep that gas running like Dom and show em you stay winnin' Stay in your lane and by that I mean never change In this road full of potholes, your soul is what remains You better watch your back Cause you don't know when they might attack Watch close in your rear view You better hold your guard They'll shake your hand and then stab your heart They might be right beside you You better watch your back Cause you don't know when they might attack Watch close in your rear view You better hold your guard They'll shake your hand and then stab your heart They might be right beside you Watch close in your rear view They might be right beside you Watch close in your rear view They might be right beside you

Just say I need her As roses need the rain And tell her that without her My dreams are all in vain The rain is pouring as my tears flow My eyes are red with passion but asking why are my lids low? Looking down below, feel like a giant or am I over myself? Overwhelm with stress that's attacking my health I'mma excel regardless, no micro Maestro, light up the stage like it's pyro No pipe tho, unless it's my girl that left me in sorrow While the sun may be beaming, the storms still follows Petals slowly diminish as the flowers bloom My ray of hope is looking dim at least that's what I assume Looking towards the moon, why did you leave so soon? As I seal the mask and hide behind the scars that were DOOM What's the point of holding on when their ain't nothing to hold? What's the point of turning over when the companies cold? Lost in the zone, no need to throw stones Knowing I already have a fear of being alone My heart is aching It keeps on breaking Through this cold summer I'm going under My heart is aching It keeps on breaking Through this cold summer I'm going under Nowadays everyone trying me I gotta live with anxiety Don't want your negative energy That's how I kill all my demons entirely Mind your business, I ain't hiring Imma control my environment And bet if you try to get violent Half of these artists I put in retirement Put that on my daddy Put that on my momma Put that on sister Put that on my brother "You ain't gotta sis!" Just know if I did, I would coming for em' Cuz all of em' boring, they all got me snoring etc I swear I'm light years ahead of ya I got that buzz and I do what it does It be seeming like y'all need level up They said I was never athletic I'm glad at least somebody said it Cuz now I be flexing on all of these rappers until they be looking pathetic You starting the drama I'm popping my collar You already know where I'm headed Shoutout to the people who promised me credit But they never gave me no credit like Uh I was looking at my dark days All he shooting down is sun rays Everyone talkin' bout how to be famous But they never tell you the right way Want the smoke, then send em' right in Finna my time to enlighten I had to pick up the right pen Cold Summer send the Byt three in My heart is aching It keeps on breaking Through this cold summer I'm going under New Edition with this addiction like I'm Bobby Brown If It Isn't Love, why the fuck does it feel like that I drowned? Drop the poison, heart is already shattered What is a bottle gonna fix nor matter? Just like my emotions, always broken, tryna find some peace Always there for you, but praying you do the same for me Living through nightmares that's screaming Trying to vanquish these demons For what I know what they feigning Cause in the heat, they be scheming (Uh, uh) Momma in tears Haven't seen her worried like this in years Running from the cops on the block by a call who I thought I viewed as my peer Saying I'm disrespectful Shot my soul and broke my mental All I know is these instrumentals Express my pain with a mic and pencil Don't you dare judge my depression When it comes to my profession I use these words as a weapon Like an AK 47 Better call up the reverend cause I done been through hell and bumpers As I lie alone like a bummer Cold Summer

We Outside 03:18
Back with a vengeance Seeing y’all suckas running out here senseless Looking for a death wish My words are infectious Breaking shit down like Tetris Pen game endless Keeping notes like Yagami (death note character) Ruling this game like a Kami (“God” in dragon ball z) None of you peasants can stop me I’m in the heights like Usnavi I got dreams that’s touching the clouds I’m making the waves, you better stay down My seat at the Thorne, I’m here for the crown You bitches is squares, I circle around Ain’t no “U”s unless it’s a double Bounce back from the L’s, keep it humble Gotta keep up so I don’t stumble Hail Mary to all that thought I would fumble I am a different breed You bitches ain’t in my league Succa Proof like I’m Nipsey Bulletproof like I’m 50 Reloaded like Neo Say hello like I’m Al Pachino You don’t wanna mess with this Negro Hercules mode, going zero to hero Feeling invincible Fly like a missile ahead of my pinnacle Aiming for the moon, you minions despicable I am inevitable Quick of a snap, you’re out of luck Don’t look back or you’ll turn into dust While you suckas keep doing that antic stuff They Look At Me with the rhymes I bust Who want the smoke (blow) Pop out, we on (you) Pull up, you won’t (no) Outside, we roll (whoa) Who want the smoke (blow) Pop out, we on (you) Pull up, you won’t (no) Outside, we roll (whoa) Run it back Bolt with the flow like I’m running track Through the tapes like a record scratch Turning tables so you’ll never catch Underestimated introvert I guess being a loner has its perks Scorpio solo dolo Never fucked with bozos that ain’t authentic when it comes to this work Who the hell you think you’re trippin? I got too much damn ambition As a rider, go the distance Goku going the ultra instinct Militant, but vigilant See through the pain like window tint Break through the glass like Steve Austin Drop you Darby’s in a coffin Spitting flames like Dragneel (Fairy Tail character) Stay shining like new grills Still poppin out like a collar You rather spent it on pills I’m just improving my skills On God, The Kill of the Hill Slice through these Bills like scissors, Ryuko with the Kill la Kill Still sharper than a switchblade Got many styles like AJ Don’t try to test with the one like we’re playing squid game Eyes open for Sang-woo’s, before they stab me like Cain If you got me like Abdul with Gi-Hun, are you able (Abel) to say the same? Prepare for the reign like Roman Heart of a Spartan but armed like a Trojan Motown offspring with modern motion Composer like I’m Quincey and Larson Bitch, I’m electric like Radian I feel like a mix of Will and Jaden I am just an icon living, but a legend in the makin’ Who want the smoke (blow) Pop out, we on (you) Pull up, you won’t (no) Outside, we roll (whoa) Who want the smoke (blow) Pop out, we on (you) Pull up, you won’t (no) Where we at!? We up outside (whoa) Pull up outside (bitch!) Yeah we outside (whoa) Pull up outside (bitch!) Yeah we outside (whoa) Pull up outside (bitch!) Yeah we outside Pull up outside

Don't fade from me Don't fade from me You mean too much to me Just let me know But don't let me go Hold on to me close Where did all the love go? After all the time we spent Wish the time was slow If I have known I'd be stuck in these walls again I dread for years The echo of tears Seeing dirt that's clear The hurt remains severe As I await your hand to lift me up as I face my fears It seems with either decision it's a lose lose Why does everything always have to be a pick and choose? Within love or lust, are you with them or us? Either way it's a broken trust Questioning loyalty, who's really gonna ride for me? Or will they just leave me hanging like a leaf on a winter tree Words unspoken, scared of being open with my emotions Scenarios reply as reality flips the token It feels like everyone I love is turning heads now I guess I'm back to being silent in the background Why do I need to justify the pain inside? Despite how hard I try To keep the love alive Your heart is beating slow I see the hour glass is looking low Running from the nights hoping I can make the morning last Don't let our dawn be a figment of the past Don't fade from me Don't fade from me You mean too much to me Just let me know But don't let me go Why can't I let you go? Am I worthy? Am I worthy? Am I worthy?
7.
Good Enough 03:07
Just don't let me go Sometimes I feel something But mostly feel nothing Try not to push a nerve Be careful of your words With everything I give And all of my wrongs, I hope you forgive Trying to keep my head up to live Overthinking the positive Trying to do right, will I survive In these nights when I feel so deprived Can you answer me tonight Am I Good Enough Am I doing too much Can you let me know Before I lose control Just don't let me go What am I doing wrong? What do I do when all is gone Everything is a sacrifice For your lows to become your highs Don't take it for granted, no Your much too young to worry so old Just know a day will become a new Look inside and see what is true With everything you give And all of the wrongs, you hope they forgive Trying to keep your head up to live Stop overthinking the positive Trying to do right, will I survive In these nights when I feel so deprived Can you answer me tonight Am I Good Enough Am I doing too much Can you let me know Before I lose control Just don't let me go See me for who I am Not what they make of me All of the lies to plant my demise Why is it so hard for you to believe Tell me The truth I feel Torn in two Up in these lonely nights Can you answer me tonight Am I Good Enough For your love Can you let me know Don't let me go
8.
Insecure 05:33
What's your definition of perfection? Why you letting them making you feel less then? Wanting a reason to feel acceptance But you ain't gotta succumb to what they pressin' Tryna to press your button to make you act ugly Seeing how you'll react like a test dummy Ain't nothing funny, no need to suppress Leaving your mind to stress, give your heart a rest Just chill Why you tripping on how they feel? Be firm, not still Don't let 'em cross on your field Don't let them wave your flag of dignity I know it's hard to find serenity Feel that energy to keep your head up off the floor If you truly wanna soar Why are you so insecure? What are you so afraid for? Don't let these thoughts get to you Discover what is true to you Why are you so insecure? Don't you know you are worth more? Don't change yourself to hide your flaws You're perfect just the way you are You are Something more She don't like the way she looks in the mirror That's why you always see her wearing baggy clothes Hidden from the words, disguised in her curves Cause she doesn't really know who's friend or foe (Oh!) Tell 'em we ain't got shame (Nah, nah, nah) I ain't here to complain (Nah, nah, nah) No need for a place with no name Hands up for the ones that are here to claim Teary eyes behind the trauma Deep cuts increased beyond the drama What's the point of wishing for karma when the harm of it all will just alarm us Of the followers feigning for reactions and attention Or just to get a follow and a mention And raise tension to change our features From the soil they reach us, but we rise as leaders Dry your eyes for me I know it's hard to see Who love is real and who conceals to be the enemy and live in ecstasy Don't fall for temptation You don't need another lifestyle worth changin' Or for them to use your power to have your heart breakin' I'm just sayin' Why are you so insecure? What are you so afraid for? Don't let these thoughts get to you Discover what is true to you Why are you so insecure? Don't you know you are worth more? Don't change yourself to hide your flaws You're perfect just the way you are You are Something more Have you ever felt lost in a world, caving in with judgment? Betrayed by the ones close to heart you trusted? Feelings numbing, head keeps rumbling Tired of fussing, hearing lies behind discussions As the curtain closes, the role is exposed Tangled emotions trying to withhold Hoping no one notices what's wrong Not feeling too strong How much longer can I hold on? C'mon, get a grip, bro Pick yourself back up before you trip, yo Just a little tough love, can't live by a shrug When life is getting rough, you'll never know it's enough Trying to act tough, we all call your bluff Out of touch with yourself the more it builds up Feeling like it's getting to be too much Why you holding on to clovers just to have good luck? You need to lift yourself up now Before it breaks you down Still standing like a solider Don't let them think they fold ya Although in need of closure Don't let that hate doze you over Apply pressure to keep yourself open minded Don't believe in the narratives that'll leave you blinded Like a deer in headlights Anxiety won't win tonight God made me to shine bright No magazine This the true image No celebrity Can tell me any different No plastic with the words I pour Hands up to the ceiling cause the world is yours Why are you so insecure? What are you so afraid for? Don't you know you are something more Something more Something more Why are you so insecure? Even though we are not pure Don't you know you are something more Something more Something more You don't need be (Insecure) It's okay to be (Insecure) I don't want you to be (Insecure) Don't you know you are something more I want you to know (Something more) Don't you know you are something more Don't you know you are something more Something more Something more

Walk Away 05:22
The summer feels so cold Without your arms around me The nights feel so alone Deeply missing your company The bedside is empty Like the heart I gave You say that you love me But why cause me this pain Why was it so easy to walk away? I tried everything to make you stay By my side And focus on just you and I Now all I have is these memories Hoping we can find the broken piece To combine I hope I'm still on your mind The morning has no shine Without waking to your smile Looking into those eyes And you looking into mine I miss your soothing voice Like tea with my honey I miss the way we laugh and stared Then you touched my face and say that you loved me How lovely We had our ups and downs But why throw it all away All away Now we're walking around Lost on what to do and say Answer me baby Why was it so easy to walk away? I tried everything to make you stay By my side And focus on just you and I (Oh my) Now all I have is these memories Hoping we can find the broken piece To combine I hope I'm still on your mind As I lay awake in my room Thinkin' About You Talking To The Moon Praying you don't find someone new And do the things that we use to do My heart is bleeding How could you deceive me? Leaving me all alone How do I find my happiness Now that you're gone? Why was it so easy to walk away? I tried everything to make you stay By my side And focus on just you and I Now all I have is these memories Hoping we can find the broken piece To combine I hope I'm still on your mind

Make it through the night Make it through the night Are you happy with yourself? Do you even love yourself? The days is hard, the nights are harder I know together we can grow stronger, now What are you after? Have mercy on me please I'm still learning these lessons that I repeat Stuck in a loop of mistake, glass is starting the break In a battle of face to face My momma is getting worried on the daily Crying and asking "what's wrong with my baby?" Thinking she did something wrong, I'm a fool I hate that my emotions always switches the mood Got so bad, my old girl didn't know what to do She healed my heart full of stitches with kisses, but now we're back with a bruise Don't know who to trust, not even myself with my own thoughts Feeling the pain linger while the sense is lost But at what cost do I have a chance to reverse time? Maybe see the signs before the stars dim their shine And dodge all the hurt that was trapped inside Moving for the right and keep the love alive Are you happy with yourself? Do you even love yourself? The days is hard, the nights are harder I know together we can grow stronger, now What do you want to capture? My mind, tied in a knot, but hope is all I got Before my heart starts to rot like the roses in the pot As I jot down these phrases to keep calm Running from the reality of a bleeding harm Death keeps gripping my arm with this mic in my palms When really I just wanna write my wrongs Forgive the pain done to me and done to thee But I keep kicking myself endlessly Even when I'm not the blame, I still feel ashamed Even if I overcame, I can still feel the rain The tears of the fallen, what do I do? How much more do I need to prove to you? That my word is true I don't wanna leave nobody hurtin' I don't wanna be too much of a burden Flipping through the page for a happy end As I feel the dark clouds hovering again It's okay to be not be okay Remember he will always make a way Look around Look around Up and down Fix your face Turn that frown You know we got you Be happy with yourself You gotta love yourself The days is hard, the nights are harder I know together we can grow stronger, now Your happiness matters Make a smile for me Give me the strength to see Make a smile for me Give my days relief

memories 04:28
(Since you went away) (I miss you babe) (Yeah) This right here is for the soul This right here is for the soul Throwback Throwback Yeah (Since you went away) Mic Check One Two One One One Two Yeah (I miss you babe) Listen This is what I cherish, tied together like a marriage More beautiful like a love that'll never perish Uh Please don't pity me In time, like a phoenix, I will rise ambitiously Like the sun, I'm on a new horizon New waves, I'm still vibin' Surfing through the snakes and sharks that are hiding Let's open a new chapter full of laughter I don't wanna move backward I'm blocking these actors that don't deserve an Oscar Paper trails or fairy tales? Pick a side Cause one could get you by and the other is hard to find Sometimes I miss the days that were simple and notable Looking back on the smiles that were pure and hopeful Shaky images like it was straight out of a Polaroid Waiting for a flash to help fill the void Still annoyed with the fact that I keep looking back Why do I always get so attached? To these Memories I hold dear So close and so near Wishing you were still here Keep me from my fears Don't cast them away Making sweet melodies Don't let them fade away Lovely memories Does it hurt me or help me as I ponder through these lessons? Don't let your aggression be a way out of the present Or it may haunt your future like a ghost from the past Are you Tiny Tim or Scrooge with the next move you have? What will you grasp from the task of sacrifices? Are you blinded by the prices or want the trill to be righteous? Just because you got a good heart, don't mean it won't bite you You gotta know what's right to you before the world writes you This is my testimony Don't try to test me homie Cause in my lonely I learned not to let misery be my company Only love and honesty, no bad vibes But I miss the ones beside that use to get me through hard times Walking through this shivering weather Warm by the thoughts of my treasure I remember my father always said for me to be better I feel like Simba as I look deep into my reflection Praying I don't end up a walking skeleton I wear my heart on my sleeve, I feel the blood leaking Venom tryna creep, I need some extra healing It's okay to grieve, remember to breathe or you'll fall back behind Deep into the dark abyss of your mind These rhymes are sentimental like a family portrait Crooked frames, times change, but we're all not perfect Clocking out the session as I face back on reality Hanging on to you hoping to make more of these Memories I hold dear So close and so near Wishing you were still here Keep me from my fears Don't cast them away Making sweet melodies Don't let them fade away Lovely memories

Forward 03:18
Forward Time keeps forward Even through the borders God puts you in order With your back against the corner Through the horror Keep moving (Left, right, left, right, left) Forward (We keep moving, right, dark is brooding, still move) Forward (Keep on moving) Forward (Keep on moving) Feeling exhausted Still I'm determined Feeling so lost with So many questions Who's really by my side? Forgive me of my pride Praying for better days Away from stormy nights Father lift me up Patch me up and heal my wounds As I stretch my hands Bright my days that are filled with gloom I need you I need you I'mma shine Let your light shine on me Give me some mind of peace Let these spirits be released Heal my mind, body and soul You and I know the code Warm my heart before it's cold Clear the demons on the road I'm a search for a brighter path This for my people that had my back Who never looked at me different Always kept it real no matter our distance Don't treat my kindness for weakness Lord give me power despite of my grievance Word to my thesis, the truth that is written Through all of the trails and hurt that is given Yeah, Yeah We gon' be alright Yeah, Yeah We gon' be alright Keep moving (Forward) Keep pushing (Forward) Don't lose yourself Aye Father lift me up Patch me up and heal my wounds As I stretch my hands Bright my days that are filled with gloom I need you I need you Forward Time keeps moving forward Even through the borders Keep moving Keep moving Keep moving Forward

about

The album is an acronym of "TIME" because within therapy, you have a specific amount of time to vent you are going through. For this in case, I used music.

ACT 1: LOST
- track 1 through 5

ACT 2: EMOTIONS
- track 6 through 9

ACT 3: GROWTH
- track 10 through 12

I hope you enjoy this experience.
