A Different World
January 6th attempted coup & Insurrection
Trump followers successfully
crashed the capitol building had congressional members all crawling helplessly
Police officers with terrorists! They taking selfies!
Lord help me
I'm a black man that's double Jeopardy
Black plus a man that's black ALL of that in white supremacy
We've already known America's not our home
we're just citizens with no representation of our own
But we pay taxes, some as soldiers for the chief
While the commander in chief's a proud boy wearing sheets
leading goons in the streets
Having no accountability
There can’t a civilization without Civility
If I was pale I can be above the pale
My blue eyes is a passport to the blue skies
In my disguise as White, the way the cultures set up I can get the best in life
A superior law
And what we just seen on TV we seeing it all
B boys B girls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
So Whatever history unfurls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world
Dwayne Wayne, Lisa Bonet
Jasmine Guy Characters in a narrative
Went to college to thrive
It is imperative cuz we was left to die
I don’t think they understand we couldn’t even vote til 65
There is not a Black alive without a relative
at the family gathering or barbecue, talking about the suffering and harm and all our drama dude
So when you got these dudes climbing the capitol walls, shouting all throughout the halls
Police must have FORGOTTEN how to use guns and all?
It don’t escape us that this was racist
There is still some BLM peaceful protestors with some pending cases
We protest cuz we’re getting SLAUGHTERED by those who supposed to be law & order
These Whites do insurrection cuz they lost an election?
We done lost GENERATIONS dog get some perspective
And even if a few of y’all get arrested and the president gets a little correction that’ll be the start of some good repentance! Yo!
B boys B girls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
So Whatever history unfurls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world
Hard Working
Are we on the air
Remember the Black sista Miriam Carey?
In 2013 she struck the Capitol barriers with her car,
that led to chase with officers
opening fire 26 bullets in her head and heart!
Her 13 month old baby was in the back seat
That is how capitol police treat us Black people
We cannot forget our memories are FULL!
And we’re triggered all over again when triggers ain’t pulled with the same EASE as it is with BLACK bodies and in every single degree
We are not decreed with rights to LIVE
So when TRUMP incites dudes to go to the capitol
Some POLICE open the gates and let HALF OF EM THROUGH
You got us wondering if the system is REALLY in cahoots?
We’ll see the length of these sentences then we’ll know the truth!
Meanwhile EVERYONE that loves a hip hop tune.
Black, White, Indian, Asian Latin whatever the roots
We can create new roads and new routes!
B boys B girls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
Whatever system unfurls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world

Yo stop tripping

Dudes spreading rumors
When they Need to get the facts tho
So many big fat liars - I Call em fatso's
Y'all are hassles - You really can't be dat slow
Gators in the mote, and I'm the bro dats in the castle
I don't front with with nobody like a back door
And Aint sleeping on ya dudes like Rachael Maddox
Getting rid of em
Stopping all the Pretending then
Making some lemonade with whatever You putting Lemon in
Living inside the tenements
All family and friends and them
Focusing on the hood
And it’s not Like George Zimmerman
Challenges and balances
Filling out on my Calendar
Traveling round the globe
My soul knows some Woes
And my heart knows it grows
Thru victories
and I even get hotter when there’s less degrees cuz I’m cold!

Danny B Verse:
Ice box, Why not,
Black caps, White sox.
Cold world, Rain drops.
Pen pad, Pain stops.
Even when it's cold I remain hot.
Steady saying go
when they say stop.
Gotta get low, hit the road, Fill my soul, money gone but I still rock (ah!)
Steppin stones broken bones in the field hot.
Mental chains got us gone make us feel locked.
Why we was brung on a real box!
Mama gone
daddy gone
sista filled spots
It's a long way home
tryna build blocks.
Rocks, sharp needles,
getting pill popped.
Still kill or be killed drug deal or be a deal. Tryna switch sides.
Wakin up without a vision
on a mission, fell in love with a vixen
They put us down

Cause I'm cold
Hook:

First Time
Chorus
Under Georgia's beautiful blue sky's
I'm Finding my new high
I'm blinded by this light
That I'm seeing for the first time
Speech
She said her heart was heavy
I said I lift weights
She said she wanted a family
I said I can't wait
She said she needed security
I said I'm ADT
She said she wanted monogamy
I said I'm ADD
You lost me there I'm kidding You found me
That cross I'll bear because You ground me
Times We share I really want you Around me
Your fingers bare - will you allow me?
New doors aren't opened up by old keys
And a New me can't be simultaneously be inhabited by the old me.
There's new survival tools for the new grind the new moves
For the new times and new views
I see signs of new jewels
Photos captures the life of a person but the death of a moment
That's why
some times
I'd rather just live in the moment
Try to own it without people trying to clone it for real
Chorus
Under Georgia's beautiful blue sky's
I'm Finding my new high
I'm blinded by this light
That I'm seeing for the first time
Speech
Reaching all
of my aims - no
Still showing
a little gains - yeah
People knowing
my name - yeah
World travels
on these planes - yeah
Many battles
- overcame yeah
many matters - I'm still stay praying yeah
Check list
for my goals - yeah
Cuz I'm Reckless - a free soul
My poppa stands about 6'4
and my momma 4'6
My Napoleon complex is complex
There's Yoruba tribe & Irish up in the mix
Life's a box of chocolates and a Bowl of Trix
We should never feel defeated
Any room with any famous names that have succeeded
I belong within it til I'm finished and completed
If I'm the only one that sees it - so be it - that's all that's needed. For real...
Chorus
Under Georgia's beautiful blue sky's
I'm Finding my new high
I'm blinded by this light
That I'm seeing for the first time
Xstatic
It's a wild feeling/
Feel like you got me all read with some mind reading/
I think I gotta invest in some time with ya/
you see, I'm just rarely impressed, you found the right digits/
I mean, you found the right buttons to press on/
Maybe we like butter and bread love .../
The way you got me stuttering and, um ... (giggly)/
wasn't searching for no next one/
Got my butterflies up, but all stress gone/
but you is worthy,
I done gave my time to people undeserving/
And I'm glad that you putting in the work n'/
you never understand what you need to from the surface/
You really got me, serious ly
thinking about this thing wid us
Tease me out and give me love.
Eaze me down, eat me up
Chorus
Under Georgia's beautiful blue sky's
I'm Finding my new high
I'm blinded by this light
That I'm seeing for the first time

Chorus
Nights like this feel like I can follow the starlight drips on my way home
It's my decision to guide my healing
And choose whatever problems I take on
So you don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me ooh
Speech
My love hasn’t lessened for you
But My patience has
so you really need to bask in that truth
The sensation that we once had has been thoroughly dashed and its bruised
Worldly habits that we once shared
I been done left back in my rear view
I don’t remember us being born
with the same placenta or umbilical cord
I’m your friend nothing more
Trouble you get in - you got in before
My path is my own
Your path is your own
Yet sometimes we shared a common zone
To where we both roamed And I love that.
some things I’m above that
I ain’t above you
I’m above traps
Ima — run my own laps
you play too much I don’t Condone that
Ive been carrying so much weight
That I can barely walk and its frustrating
Most of it ain’t even mine
got diabetes & heart decline
And I’m relatively a skinny guy
now who gonna be there to Heal my mind
Is it you? Naw boo
you posted up like Blog a do
I’m a hop like a Frog do
I am too busy solving me to be Solving you
Truth
Chorus
Nights like this feel like I can follow the starlight drips on my way home
It's my decision to guide my healing
And choose whatever problems I take on
So you don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me ooh
MRK SX
Well alright yeah yeah
I read your message and I did not reply to
It said nothing bout money so I could not see why to not that I don't like you or maybe I don't
Either way I'm unavailable
And putting you in front of me I just am not capable
I'm busy writing rhymes hard as barbers trying to cape a bull
Or arguing with the wife over which restaurant to take her to why do you always have to taste my food anywho
Second off all its early and I'm looking at silly memes
Unless you my offspring and yo mama look Billy Jean to me
Another way of saying he he is no kin to me
Wind up round house to rousey that is no chin to me
My cup is half full today and you you want it empty
Yall after paper I'm trying to own the ink it needs for printing
Bother my woo sah and get to know my shoe size
Should you hit my line again
Well all you can do is try right?
Chorus
Nights like this feel like I can follow the starlight drips on my way home
It's my decision to guide my healing
And choose whatever problems I take on
So you don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me
You don't get to get to me ooh

Fires in Brazil's rainforest is killing oxygen
And you bringing so much fresh air to me
on this floor again
She said She not into conscious types
And I should know that
I said girl - don't you know that The SUN is even pro black.
Because I am for Blacks I'm also against faux blacks
They not the same as faux locs all of this is my foreplay.
I've been investigating you like I am Kojack
trying to win a court case.
Into it like a Toe tap
I don't really dance but I wanna be closer
These other dudes don't get the picture - They only are Posers
You gotta turn some different knobs for better exposures
We can follow different laws - I'll show you what's kosher.

Rome can fall
Chorus
And I know that the world
will live without me
I’ve been fishing lost
I’ve been written off
and people doubt me
But I won’t worry about em all
and all of Rome can fall
when I’m with you
If you were the last person in the world
I would be happy
If you were the last thing that I seen
I would die happy
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
I’m really in this
Im really trying
Do you bear witness to all my science?
When what I give to you is small
And what I miss for you is giant
When you magnify the falls it increases your defiance
I don’t know where to go when the going is a tough road
But all I know is that our souls have no threshold
Times together is like heaven
God has blessed those
Times when our hearts are bigger than what our chest holds
When I was feeling unattractive you were unfazed by my phases
When you were feeling so depressed I was still impressed
When our checks and balances was less balanced and less checks
I told you not to stress you relied on my best and I loved that
Chorus
And I know that the world
will live without me
I’ve been fishing lost
I’ve been written off
and people doubt me
But I won’t worry about em all
and all of Rome can fall
when I’m with you
If you were the last person in the world
I would be happy
If you were the last thing that I seen
I would die happy
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
I were never a groupie
You had never heard of me
Lets not let this industry
Define for us who we’ll be
Chorus
And I know that the world
will live without me
I’ve been fishing lost
I’ve been written off
and people doubt me
But I won’t worry about em all
and all of Rome can fall
when I’m with you
If you were the last person in the world
I would be happy
If you were the last thing that I seen
I would die happy
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
And I know that the world
will live without me
I’ve been fishing lost
I’ve been written off
and people doubt me
But I won’t worry about em all
and all of Rome can fall
when I’m with you
If you were the last person in the world
I would be happy
If you were the last thing that I seen
I would die happy
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
If you were the last person in the world
I would be happy
If you were the last thing that I seen
I would die happy
When I’m with you
When I’m with you

Chorus
What Eva
What Eva
What Eva
Rambo
I’ll be the one who holds the mirror up so you can see
Truly there is a king or queen that lives inside of you and me
Just dont fgroet your crown you never put it down
Or never burn it down
You’re not whatever they say
You’re more than whatever they say
Your thoughts can be your anchor or wings
You’re not whatever they say
You’re more than whatever they say
Your thoughts can be your anchor or wings
Chorus
What Eva
What Eva
What Eva
Speech
I know its hard to keep things together
Sacred life but folks feed us whatever
As long as monies being made its like whatever
As long as people still getting paid its whatever
The environment is whatever
Being inspired is never required whatever so
Being famous is what the aim is trendsetters yo
Influencers and go getters they make cheddar and its on
It’s like whatever and its on
Nothing has changed nothing is better but you on it
So everything LIT everything spanking everything bomb
You are legit - legitimate what is it all?
And if I have a moment just me and you
To sit and have talk just speak some truth
Cuz id really like to know what you’ve been through
Cuz me and you could really do…
Chorus
What Eva
What Eva
What Eva
Speech
Like the elders used to say what’s the Latest?
I tell em I’m an elder now what a turn of pages
even those who don’t perform will still be living life in stages
Trying not to lose patience
little kids is locked in Cages
who can claim greatness?
heroes falling like Dominos
the beat goes on - but who’s reading the Liner notes
Everyones an open book - we check you out on Audible
Underage scandals, prostitutes Just like Rob Lowe
YEAH I’m going out a lot
Change transform thangs just like an Auto Bot
Patrice Rushen taught us all about Forget me nots
Help us to remember - LOVE seeing how far we got
Uh
Many Running from our Shadows
hard to defeat something when it goes with you to Battle
Yeah I know the spirit has a lasso
To rope us in when we begin to go beyond the shallows
I need you
And In a nation where hit records
means more than a hit Marriage that’s so backwards
Everyone is in the mirror not asking who's the fairest
And just to be seen is what they cherish for real
In a nation where inanimate objects like
Guns have more rights than kids
Im speaking out loud just a little bit
The worse it gets the more spirit is more legitimate
Chorus

With a lot of things in my life
See, there's a war going on
And it's in the corners of my mind
Every time I take one step
My hearts beating out my chest
And I'm still fighting with myself
I don't see anybody else
Cause I'm in the ring with the invisible
But it's still real so I feel all the kicks, Ooh
But I've got dreams so I stay on the road
And I'm gonna do it even if I gotta go alone
I'll go ahead
Even if I get scared, I'm gonna do it
Do it, do it
I gotta do it, do it
Even if I gotta do it alone
Do it, do it
I'm gonna do it, do it
Even if I gotta do it alone
That “it” I’ve been chasing
Unknown facing it
Patiently
Pacing myself - along the line
My Nice guy
Won’t suffice or fly
cuz I’m once bitten and Twice shy
I can’t deny
Man, I’ve never had my
clique mates
I guess I’m really not
click bait
anxiety is my
home state
Whether outta state or at home base
I’m Inspired to chase my own thangs
Doing it
Like a hot pursuit - I’m Pursuing it
Man I gotta lot to prove and making lots of moves & paying lots of dues
and who can ruin it?
Nobody
Everything I touch is better after it
get a track in a Rush and I master it
Engineer my career to the last of it
Until the Sun finally fades I’ma Bask in it
Yeah,
do it til it’s done - Run
My own
race my own stunts - uh -
i’m on
Pace to be that one you don’t
front on
Facing me is love I want it all
Do it, do it
I'm gonna do it, do it
Even if I gotta do it alone

Speech Verse:
Yo stop tripping
The whole air about yourself is conditioning
Do you even hear yourself? - are you listening
We have all got to try some new positioning
Yo My crew blew huge - All Natural
And I'm a Piece of the bomb like Shrapnel
Dudes spreading rumors
When they Need to get the facts tho
So many big fat liars - I Call em fatso's
Y'all are hassles - You really can't be dat slow
Gators in the mote, and I'm the bro dats in the castle
I don't front with with nobody like a back door
And Aint sleeping on ya dudes like Rachael Maddox
Getting rid of em
Stopping all the Pretending then
Making some lemonade with whatever You putting Lemon in
Living inside the tenements
All family and friends and them
Focusing on the hood
And it’s not Like George Zimmerman
Challenges and balances
Filling out on my Calendar
Traveling round the globe
My soul knows some Woes
And my heart knows it grows
Thru victories
and I even get hotter when there’s less degrees cuz I’m cold!
Chorus:
I don’t mean to, to impose
But my God I’m just too Cold
No Chain, No Range
And no Gold
But my God I’m Just too Cold
Just too Cold
Just too Cold
Yall know that its godda be Cold
If we Say it to ya
Just too Cold
No Chain, No Range
And no Gold
But my God I’m Just too Cold
Danny B Verse:
Ice box, Why not,
Black caps, White sox.
Cold world, Rain drops.
Pen pad, Pain stops.
Even when it's cold I remain hot.
Steady saying go
when they say stop.
Gotta get low, hit the road, Fill my soul, money gone but I still rock (ah!)
Steppin stones broken bones in the field hot.
Mental chains got us gone make us feel locked.
Why we was brung on a real box!
Mama gone
daddy gone
sista filled spots
It's a long way home
tryna build blocks.
Rocks, sharp needles,
getting pill popped.
Still kill or be killed drug deal or be a deal. Tryna switch sides.
Wakin up without a vision
on a mission, fell in love with a vixen
They put us down
now we up in da business
Say we was clowns
baby boy who you kiddin.
A hunned rounds
boy you know that we Spittin.
Breakin da vibe
man you know that we with it.
Its my time gone shine
man you know ima get it.
This all came from them times we was up in dem visits. So i stay on the grind
got something to finish
money stay on my mind so
I'm coming to get it
Cause I'm cold
Hook:
I don’t mean to, to impose
But my God I’m just too Cold
No Chain, No Range
And no Gold
But my God I’m Just too Cold
Just too Cold
Just too Cold
Yall know that its godda be Cold
If we Say it to ya
Just too Cold
No Chain, No Range
And no Gold
But my God I’m Just too Cold

First Time
Chorus
Under Georgia's beautiful blue sky's
I'm Finding my new high
I'm blinded by this light
That I'm seeing for the first time
Speech
She said her heart was heavy
I said I lift weights
She said she wanted a family
I said I can't wait
She said she needed security
I said I'm ADT
She said she wanted monogamy
I said I'm ADD
You lost me there I'm kidding You found me
That cross I'll bear because You ground me
Times We share I really want you Around me
Your fingers bare - will you allow me?
New doors aren't opened up by old keys
And a New me can't be simultaneously be inhabited by the old me.
There's new survival tools for the new grind the new moves
For the new times and new views
I see signs of new jewels
Photos captures the life of a person but the death of a moment
That's why
some times
I'd rather just live in the moment
Try to own it without people trying to clone it for real
Chorus
Under Georgia's beautiful blue sky's
I'm Finding my new high
I'm blinded by this light
That I'm seeing for the first time
Speech
Reaching all
of my aims - no
Still showing
a little gains - yeah
People knowing
my name - yeah
World travels
on these planes - yeah
Many battles
- overcame yeah
many matters - I'm still stay praying yeah
Check list
for my goals - yeah
Cuz I'm Reckless - a free soul
My poppa stands about 6'4
and my momma 4'6
My Napoleon complex is complex
There's Yoruba tribe & Irish up in the mix
Life's a box of chocolates and a Bowl of Trix
We should never feel defeated
Any room with any famous names that have succeeded
I belong within it til I'm finished and completed
If I'm the only one that sees it - so be it - that's all that's needed. For real...
Chorus
Under Georgia's beautiful blue sky's
I'm Finding my new high
I'm blinded by this light
That I'm seeing for the first time
Xstatic
It's a wild feeling/
Feel like you got me all read with some mind reading/
I think I gotta invest in some time with ya/
you see, I'm just rarely impressed, you found the right digits/
I mean, you found the right buttons to press on/
Maybe we like butter and bread love .../
The way you got me stuttering and, um ... (giggly)/
wasn't searching for no next one/
Got my butterflies up, but all stress gone/
but you is worthy,
I done gave my time to people undeserving/
And I'm glad that you putting in the work n'/
you never understand what you need to from the surface/
You really got me, serious ly
thinking about this thing wid us
Tease me out and give me love.
Eaze me down, eat me up
Chorus
Under Georgia's beautiful blue sky's
I'm Finding my new high
I'm blinded by this light
That I'm seeing for the first time

A Different World
January 6th attempted coup & Insurrection
Trump followers successfully
crashed the capitol building had congressional members all crawling helplessly
Police officers with terrorists! They taking selfies!
Lord help me
I'm a black man that's double Jeopardy
Black plus a man that's black ALL of that in white supremacy
We've already known America's not our home
we're just citizens with no representation of our own
But we pay taxes, some as soldiers for the chief
While the commander in chief's a proud boy wearing sheets
leading goons in the streets
Having no accountability
There can’t a civilization without Civility
If I was pale I can be above the pale
My blue eyes is a passport to the blue skies
In my disguise as White, the way the cultures set up I can get the best in life
A superior law
And what we just seen on TV we seeing it all
B boys B girls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
So Whatever history unfurls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world
Dwayne Wayne, Lisa Bonet
Jasmine Guy Characters in a narrative
Went to college to thrive
It is imperative cuz we was left to die
I don’t think they understand we couldn’t even vote til 65
There is not a Black alive without a relative
at the family gathering or barbecue, talking about the suffering and harm and all our drama dude
So when you got these dudes climbing the capitol walls, shouting all throughout the halls
Police must have FORGOTTEN how to use guns and all?
It don’t escape us that this was racist
There is still some BLM peaceful protestors with some pending cases
We protest cuz we’re getting SLAUGHTERED by those who supposed to be law & order
These Whites do insurrection cuz they lost an election?
We done lost GENERATIONS dog get some perspective
And even if a few of y’all get arrested and the president gets a little correction that’ll be the start of some good repentance! Yo!
B boys B girls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
So Whatever history unfurls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world
Hard Working
Are we on the air
Remember the Black sista Miriam Carey?
In 2013 she struck the Capitol barriers with her car,
that led to chase with officers
opening fire 26 bullets in her head and heart!
Her 13 month old baby was in the back seat
That is how capitol police treat us Black people
We cannot forget our memories are FULL!
And we’re triggered all over again when triggers ain’t pulled with the same EASE as it is with BLACK bodies and in every single degree
We are not decreed with rights to LIVE
So when TRUMP incites dudes to go to the capitol
Some POLICE open the gates and let HALF OF EM THROUGH
You got us wondering if the system is REALLY in cahoots?
We’ll see the length of these sentences then we’ll know the truth!
Meanwhile EVERYONE that loves a hip hop tune.
Black, White, Indian, Asian Latin whatever the roots
We can create new roads and new routes!
B boys B girls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
Whatever system unfurls
hip-hop is from the school of Hillman
So We can make a different world
We can make a different world
We can make a different world
