Verse 1: I used to date this girl She made my world bigger I used to tell her that I could change the world with her We were moving fast On ya mark - ready, set No go - 7 years later - wasn't ready yet But I loved her - she probably won't believe it now Because I did too many odd things to even out Cuz I was young, dumb, full of it Full of a lot of things those days - but never full of shit When I left she had man within a week up on her Probably did that cuz she thought that I was cheating on her But I wasn't - I was keeping to myself Plus the dreams that I had - they couldn't reach nobody else The body's temporary - the soul's the sacred part So be weary of these women - they could break your heart See, love only works when you believe But believing in the wrong girl can hurt to a degree we're all a little different so at first we wanna leave But you gotta stick it out for the birds to trust the bees Find what you want Never settle on the issue Find somebody that'll start the revolution with you Shea: If we ever fall in love I need to know that you are the one the one that I can need forever When forever isn't long enough and love isn't what we thought it was Verse 2: These girls know I'm deep enough to say I love you Wanting me to dive in, but shallow as a puddle And that's to name a couple - that's to name a few Bless the name of you Let's address the angle, too See women love men - men love women But women like to grab a bad boy & trust in him & get they hearts broken because their heart's open They start choking part hoping That he starts sloping on another spectrum - but they get just like you From the outside looking in it's just a vicious cycle But if it wasn't meant to be she wasn't meant for me Mentally into me she sent a hint & lent some energy but I need a woman that's smart & plays her part Because I'ma play mine - I hate an automated thought You need a mind of ya own So I can find it at home I want the kind of mind you find in a poem this point of my career I'm in the zone like time Coast to coast jet lagging with some strong like minds & her grind - yea that should be strong like mines So if we ever fail we both have some strong lifelines Cmon Shea: repeat 2x If we ever fall in love I need to know that you are the one the one that I can need forever When forever isn't long enough and love isn't what we thought it was

Intro: I no know Trying to learn everything now that I no know Trying to learn everything now that I no know That I no know That I no know heyyy I no know Trying to learn everything now that I no know Trying to learn everything now that I no know That I no know That I no know heyyy DJ Casp3R: *Scratches* Better person Better man That's what I'm trying to be But see I'm only human in my times of need Clocks tickin' & I barely find the time to eat Because I I battle this depression when I find a beat Tested outer limits of my flesh & my mind erasing suicidal thoughts as I'm sketching my rhymes & I'm like nah I'm fine when I'm texting my mom Because I don't really want her worried about my stress at the time I Could never move back home Because she's the one I spazzed on So I grew a backbone Living off these rap songs As for locals Everybody thinks they know you Up until you go Postal Then just watch how they approach you Good GOD lord Jesus Who am I to force a thesis? Sort the pieces or police it Less worried; More strategic I put my trust in too many but now I'm not as fatal I put my life in they hands - they playin' hot potato DJ Casp3R: *Scratches* Yo Listen I make mistakes - they acting like I ain't human Just because they hear the music and they like what I'm doing So I come at a different angle when I'm writing my views & My thoughts are parallel to hell plus the mic is congruent Naw I ain't new to this dog I just neutered it & now I'm starting to see that these cats is mostly uterus Call it like I see it - if my crew gets defeated I'm the Caesar looking for Brutus when the moves get completed Gotta family man thirst I'm a family man first & my son goes crazy when this family man works So my time is money and my money is time So excuse me if I'm not making the funniest rhymes This is real life distributed in 16 bars Without a yaht, 16 cars or big screen stars I got a long ways to go & this road - it's bumpy as hell When it feels like they all want me to fail cmon DJ Casp3R: *Scratches*

"Landon Raps" This year's been fucking crazy but ya dude's fine though Look, money, I'm here to save you Got that coupon flow I mean my God they got us forgot about us and got a new one Tried to knock us; adopted choppers to stop the movement Pop a shot at the popular Pop a squat with binoculars Watch the block & it's not gonna stop the shots & they mocking us see em in my sights then I'm'a stop em regardless So I don't fuck with walmart dog I got em in target Cats do three shows then call it a tour? I put my life on the line; I've been homeless before But I didn't call my moms - I was embarrassed as shit But once I got up on them stages I would tear em to bits So to be fair you weren't hearing a rapper You were hearing the aftermath that lasted thereafter The clash of the bastards that blasted past the path of the pastors A slave to the masters A Classic case of chasing attackers Task told me write a 16 Fuck it - I'm gone It's high time y'all know the type of struggle I'm on A lot of it's passion - asking for the livest attraction Money talks - I speak it fluent, but it's got a thick accent taming em up questioning why ain't it enough So I copped Rosetta Stone to learn the language of love Sipping elixir of the gods - I've come to rebel So, if that cups half empty - I'm drunker than hell Throwing up upon the beat - turntable get the spins Stumble onto this rap shit - hungover again I really- really eat sleep breathe this rap shit what don't you cats get? My tracks are a weapon steppin' back for a second..

"She doesn't know" It's a perpetual motion perpetual motion perpetual motion perpetual Hook: She doesn't know what to do with herself Her family's worried - Thinks she don't even care She's living a rough life Where she'll end up in a few years - who knows where? Verse 1: This kind of thing happens more than you know about She had a boyfriend at home He was a motormouth All his promises empty Gently anonymous Simply Lengthy & ominous Predominant since he's wimpy To counteract He found a stack Of purple - blew a ounce of that Taught him how to be a man She learned from being around her dad Daddy's girl - he was the pimp slash hustler That wrecked her boyfriend's family - pops was a customer His dad wasn't home much - a loner known on the corners That would sniff, puff, smoke everything up tho When life gets cut throat it's harder to trust folks Riding on the bus broke going for the gusto Chipped paint, leaky ceiling - why this happen to us for? From Main Street to wall street it look like a dust bowl Getting harder to uphold this part of the hustle Blamed everything on himself - She would just adlib She said, "don't worry - you could do what her dad did" & even though he didn't agree There's not a lot of room to speak when they were living this bleak cmon Hook: She doesn't know what to do with herself Her family's worried - Thinks she don't even care She's living a rough life Where she'll end up in a few years - who knows where? Verse 2: This kind of thing happens more than you know about Now she had a husband at home He was a motormouth All his promises empty Gently anonymous Simply Lengthy & ominous Predominant since he's wimpy To counteract He found a stack Of purple - blew a pound of that He had a couple money machines He liked the sound of that They got pregnant with a daughter so he vowed to stop Money was the love of his life, but now it's not When He was hungry for it - he put his wife to work I mean her daddy did it - this was just life to her But He would never ever kept his word enough Getting over on bosses that had a thirst for blood these ain't dime bags - these were real killers now With gorillas that'll go bananas if the skrilla's foul She didn't know though - she was just on the block It wasn't fair at all but his lying was on the watch He was making them money & they ain't wanna stop In this business dog - you ain't get warned a lot They stuffed a bullet in her head - called it a warning shot See, This kind of thing happens more than you know about Their daughter's boyfriend - he was a motormouth

Dream on ft Shea Intro: Shea & Landon Ladadada Do it! Dadadada Do it! Dadada Dadada Dadadada Do it! Ladadadada Do it! Do it! Verse 1 She told me nevermind So I neverminded her back I put in work - at least time and a half// She said she heard a lot of people say they thought I could rap That's about when she grabbed my phone & then she jotted her math// & I Was trying to take her to the beach off the Oregon coast Then she showed me talk is cheap - yet unaffordable I was never so infatuated before I had to take it pass the pace we played it of course So I took her down to Zach's shack Right off of Hawthorne Til this day I'm still trying to figure why my heart's torn I was Just a clever vessel to bless you and resurrect you You had a man and all but.. He should never left you// Hook: (Shea) Maybe Baby We just may be Further apart than it may seem Closing the distance in our dreams (So close we were closer than most) & So we dream on Dream Dream dream dream (So close we were closer than most) So we dream on Dream dream dream dream Ladadada Bridge 1: (Landon) repeat 2x Counting sheep just to make it complete I'm counting sheep just to make it complete Cuz You're amazing to me 1, 2 and I won't make it to three 1, 2 and I won't make it to three But I'm done making believe Verse 2: We Texted all day & kicked it after work I read between the lines & every chapter's worse// Something went wrong, but it didn't have to hurt Cuz laughter works miracles Abracadabra - burst// Into the scene with an open heart But no surgery Though we fought it at first cuz we Only thought of adversity// And now I'm Trying to figure out how my heart broke Kicking it at bars and kissing behind a costco// But you Said distance was nothing but hell Then you thanked me for teaching you how to stand up for yourself// We went to war with them words It Made me open up Now I was on the frontline I had a soldiers touch// My whole soul was crushed & I was finna crash On my last lap but see - good guys finish last// I was touring & you ain't wanna hold me back But I would have held you down I wish I would have told you that//

"Be Still" I mean it's real shit Something you can build with Try to keep your mind strong Hands off the kill switch They told me you was done living Shit made my eyes swell I know since my son's living we've had a dry spell It's crazy cuz you're gone - moving on the abyss & every time I think about you I dont wanna do shit I just sit up on my couch - getting high alone Then I pick my son up & I show him all your songs I hug him & let him know his uncle was the shit That's how you raise a man that's born within the jungle and the pits I gotta say - that's a damn fine job that your mom did & if she needs a little closure I hope she finds it You always told me I was would be the best that ever did it & After I laughed you would say that you weren't kidding So Ima work hard as I can so you aren't proven wrong Can still feel your spirit when our unfinished songs cmon Hook: This ain't no goodbye It's only bye for now Don't move - be still be still be still be still (I'll still be loving you) Be still be still be still Yo real shit Something we can build with Always kept our skin tough So that we can't feel this What up? I know We haven't talked in a while I've been busy doing shows - as I walk through the crowd They can see every single thing you taught to your child You say you happy, but I know just how you talk when you smile I know it's because of me I was broke for the longest time & You just wanna see me doing good I'm on it, Mom Life itself as I know it now is getting scary Because all my friends are dying off or getting married Depending on which way that they went It's a lifestyle - depending on what's paying they rent They say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger This burden put upon us'll pawn us - no cutting corners We had our ups and downs & then we'd miss each other No matter what I did or said - you were still my mother

"I Love You (Song For Nina)" Mama sent me the text & I read it surprised I just wanted to be there to look her dead in her eyes/ She was losing her mothre - I was losing my granny The distance I put between us - had me losing my family/ But you were just what I needed I beat it still felt defeated Got treated I can't believe it, repeat it, heed it or piece it together/ It hurts to know that I could see you whenever Yet I didn't make a difference Man, I need to get better/ My ex said don't let the music take control of you (Then what happened?) Missed ya call because I had a show to do/ I'm young enough to rock shows & soak in the light .. But old enough to know this ain't right/ Family is everything from the kids to the wedding ring Can't imagine a better thing that was given of mine/ If I took what's allotted promised them to provide it So If I got it you got it & all's forgiven in time/ If I didn't notice then - just know I notice now Hold the frown cope with emotions close to your shoulders down The artist in me Keeps my heart on my sleeve So I'm pulling out the iron just to harden the crease And I was mad as hell as I soak & dissolve Can't help but apologize for that hole on your wall I could make excuses all day & say it wasn't fair But I know you know it hurts to know I wasn't there

Lost Myself Lyrics: Lost myself Verse 1: Uh And it happens like that Live this rap life grab mics Sacrifice stacks gotta add spice - a seasoned veteran A specimen that's never been a letterman - Ive let em in the fast life Never fails - Quick to tell you the real Played the cards I was dealt - about to tell you the deal .. Im just a king in a stack - don't let that trouble fold ya Never met a queen - just a couple jokers Found my ace in a pot - about to bubble over Double Dojah tokin' every potent potion Rollin' clovers amnesty's divine find a family of mine Former murderers and felons sellin' fantasies and rhymes Looking at my life like damn I need a dime But I want more than pocket change to handle me this time Lost myself with some henny in my stomach Fell in love & found my identity in a woman Hook: Trying to find mine Trying to find mine Trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Verse 2: Uh And it happens like that Live the rap life grab mics Sacrifice stacks, right? Yea Guzzle booze when I can't write Damn fights tearing me apart every damn night Text from the ex - telling me to swing by Being pot & have another fling but I think not Lost myself in this liquor and weed The grip of defeat depletes peace I'm pissed that I'm free Sometimes I like a damn ball and chain Water under the bridge & it dissolves the same Went to war with our words and it's all in vain I'm trying to help you heal - but the scares remain I know I did that - I know I said shit I know you packed your bags just to take them head trips Lost myself - sippin henny for the heartbreak Got depressed & found my identity in these hard days Hook: Trying to find mine Trying to find mine Trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Verse 3: Uh And it happens like that Live the rap life grab mics Sacrifice stacks, right? Yea Well my family hurtin' Plus Landon's just another one of Anthony's burdens stand with me Thru insanity and vanity If you say that you're a fan of me I'm giving you a chance to see The raw and the real Not the flawless appeal Sometimes I'm thoughtless and my heart gets the chills Flawed individual Lost and I'm miserable The cost put a frost on my heart with residual Side effects the product of a dollar with nada left I gotta prep papa gotta work & provide the rest Stuck inside a lab or a cab or a vehicle Ain't seen my son in a month but I need him though Lost myself- sippin henny for the memories My biggest fear is finding him not remembering me Hook: Trying to find mine Trying to find mine Trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine Find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine I'm trying to find mine [Outro hook]

Verse 1: I tell these rappers I'm probably more lyrical than I'm vicious & tell my folks I'm probably more spiritual than religious// It's real - & I haven't been to church in a while because I was hurt as a child & that inserted the doubt// As a kid battle rappin' til my lungs straight plummet I told em Id connect with hot lines like 1-800// You see - I kept it real as I can Stand with gorillas and fans Fam's in the villa - ima build us a camp But My brother's dead - like damn he gone But he was sly enough - to keep the family stoned// Kept that pain in my heart as I harbored it From the start it was marvelous But these losses are hard to miss// Heartless often I fought for this Walk the talk on the cross for this Started off I was fatherless Lost in thoughts of a narcissist // I'm just trying to grow But it's kinda slow Put it all on the table like Dominos// Mama knows Im a rhymer But time to time I'm just trying show Common folks that I'm common, folks Read the signs when I find the notes// I just spoke it in chronicles Chronological order I promised I would comply But this time I shot for the border// Getting outta the country - only cuz I could rap There's homies I tried to back - but the homies could not adapt// Local rappers hate me - don't think I'm trying to son y'all I'm just trying to stack this money for my son, dog// & if you mad - I'm nice enough to speak & laugh But if you talking too reckless - I'll probably beat ya ass// keep it positive, so homies'll try me Until they understand there ain't a bitch bone in my body// I used to slap em in the mouth if they ever tried to take mine & Put em on Pet control - picking up they canines// But I'm trying to be a different man for my son if I get arrested again then the damage is done// Christopher & Landon Hook: repeat 2x I want to Grow Grow Grow Grow Grow Im Screaming mama we made it Never Sleep until it's time for cremation Verse: Im just not who I used to be My friends ain't even used to me But none of this is new to me I'm really just not into it They asking what I'm finna fix They barking up the wrong tree I'm breaking off these stems and sticks I move missions - I don't care who's listening Ima stay feeding these bums - like a soup kitchen Got these crews dissin I diss right back Eat em in my sleep - midnight snack// Put ya style up on a pole & have you stripped like that & if you playin' hardball then Ima get spiked bats It's the real baby I'm just telling you how I feel lately I do a lot for these rappers but yet they still hate me & I ain't trying to take control I just lead the route call it lawn care - I weed em out I see every single snake in the grass They play dirty but I learned it all from taking a bath Christopher & Landon Hook: repeat 4x I want to Grow Grow Grow Grow Grow Im Screaming mama we made it Never Sleep until it's time for cremation

"Growing Pains" Light the marijuana Yup - he's a goner Seeking decent karma This Cold heart is getting warmer// They used to hate it, homie But now they help us Probably because I finally lived & learned to grow the hell up// I'm a fella with perpellers hella overdeveloped So don't tell me skies the limit when I see em fly within it// You can't be your own God - well, unless you 5 percent it Then it's Telling me what sin is - I'm a cynic til I'm finished// Spend the spinach when it's ripe as hell See, I write for living so now my life's for sell// Yo My life's fast Because I never really think before I write raps Then I get home & got hell to pay - poppin' price tags// My demons on the register - satin's up for management & everyone I've double crossed on faces of the manikins// Baby moms seeming like she probably want a man again I keep her in my thoughts, In my prayers, but it's damaging// My emotions died & I buried my feelings So my main problem now is I'm not very forgiving Plus anger was the only thing that guided my pride What I could decide wasn't obvious with options applied// I tried to derive the questions that resided inside Like why I only seemed to call to GOD when I cry// My ex said to quit my job and spit a song So Then I hopped on tour, but I did her wrong// I never wanted her to raise our kid alone & Another man Raising my son Cuz we can't get along// That shit would hurt more than you think So I tell myself I should have thought - more than I drink// I brought them whores to the brink I'm being real as I can No disrespect To all my feminine fans// Stay out shallow waters There's talent in that ocean Swimming in women only keeps you Drowning in emotion Add the bells and whistles Drop the shells and pistols Man, it's time to come home Can't you tell they miss you?// I'm looking at you like "why would you not"? Especially when we didn't know our biological pops// I'd do anything to come home Crawl walk or run home If I did a little sentence - I'd never let it run on// With enough grammar to Save face for the cameras Stamina's got me lapping the pack and passing parameters// My whole modus operandi is to Father mines Tried to rhyme not for dollar signs but for bottom lines// 26 years - still don't know who I am But the older that I get I'm sticking closing to fam// Getting closer to fans stitching these quotes with hands Like I'm supposed to But hold up hold us, the culture, the clan To a standard & oath Where demands and commandments go hand to hand & elope While taking chances with hope My little man getting old So now my plan can unfold I never tamper with those This Just a sample of growth Kamari

Thank you's:

Kamari - Babyboy. My beautiful baby boy. My son. It's no coincidence that I've started promo for this album on your bday. Your first bday. Happy birthday! This album is for you. This album is your album. Your "dada" gets himself into the craziest things. When you're old enough to read this I want you to know that you are the biggest blessing my life has ever been given. You're the purist being I've ever witnessed. You're my everything. Sometimes I break down looking into your eyes. Same color as mine. Your nose. Shame shape as mine. Your lips. Same as mine. Your cheekbones. Same. You're why I work as hard as I do. I've sacrificed so much to get to where I am to show you to never give up your dream. Ever. You will always find a way out of harm, but the path of least resistance often times leads to misery, babyboy. Be happy in this lifetime. Rejoice. Outlive life before life outlives you. & remember that appearing crazy to a society built on normalcy means you're doing something right. I love you and will always love you from this realm and beyond. I wish words could properly express that.

Cassandra - seeing you in labor giving birth to the light of both of our lives was incredible. We hard the worst time afterwards trying to figure out this co-parenting thing, but I want to thank you for being who you are. Being who you are enough to look past my mistakes as I've looked past yours. Thank you for coming to an agreeable medium. Our son is the benefactor of our decision. We are much better where we are. Thank you for never pushing the issue. I know where your heart lies and I know that must be as hard for you as it is for me to see you hurt from it. No matter what our family turns into we will alway be family.

Chris - you know what this album means to me. We've been touring for 10 years. Everything you've predicted about my career has come into fruition. If the rest of what you say comes to pass we will be living what we sought out to live. Thank you brother. Thank you for getting me out of tough spots. Thank you for the partnership. The years of laughs. Everyone I know that knows about you tells me how lucky I am to find such a manager. I love you, brother. That's automatic at this point. It's been a decade! Now I got a kid and we're doing legit tours lol

Gab - Bro. You saved my career. When I told you our tour was my last because of my son & you told me that's the very reason that this should be the beginning.. Man.. Thank you for taking me on, brother. You're a legend. Your humility is inspiring. Your talent is unmatched. Thank you for climbing on th digital copy, man. You're like a big brother to me, man. Anything you need ever is a text or call away!

Thomas Prime- thank you for awakening my creativity. Thank you for pushing me. Thank you for letting me know that I was half-assing my ability for so long. You saw talent where I didn't. I appreciate you for that brother. CCR all day!

Bob - Thank you for being in my ear the whole time with every Cult Classic Records release. Thank you for taking a kid with nothing and introducing him to your loyal followers. Thank you for being so selfless. Everyone in our world knows how much you and Thomas do for jazz hop, chill hop, & good music in general. CCR all day!

Kondor - Thank you brother. Thank you for being so patient with me. Thank you for being a partner. Our album will happen. Thank you for forgiving my procrastination and still blessing this album with your instrumental for "Focus". CCR all day!

Shag - thank you. thank you for taking time apart from your schedule. I know you're working on albums and I know howtedious getting beat stems to engineers can be lol I'll see you at the top, brother. CCR all day!

goldenbeets - thank you man! Your beats have allowed me to express some pretty therapeutic topics for me. You're so talented man. I was honored to enter this project with a craftsman such as yourself. I know your time was also limited. That does not go unnoticed. I appreciate you, brother.

MoStafa - thank you for being my brother. You know how hard I can be on you. On myself. On others. You know how unorganized I am. You know how I take unreasonable risks. You know how my mind works. You KNOW me & you still love me for who I am, brother. You never left. When I was being stupid and drunk you literally saved my life. I owe you my life. It's that simple. It's that complex.

All the cliques lol but you still did you. That's why I love the attitude man. The swag. The honesty. It's all you, brother. You handle Portland & I'll take care of Eugene. Let's lock Oregon down and invite everybody in on the fun. That's the only way we'll ever grow.

We don't know each other well unfortunately, but what I do know of you is that you're a genuine dude. I appreciate everything you've done for me.

Thank you.

Everyone. Everyone that has started off with my first album, The Mourning After Pill. Thank those of you who have consistently emailed me. You all are how/why I am still putting out albums. Every album is like a different page in this book I'm slowing piecing together, but this album, DAD, is a whole new chapter within itself. Thank those of you who have chosen to read the fine print. I love all of you. Genuinely.
