4 Your Eyez Only
4 Your Eyez Only- Date Recorded: 2016
Best Lyrics:
Girl your daddy was a real n****, not 'cos he was cold
Not because he was the first to get some p*ssy twelve years old
Not because he used to come through in the Caddy on some vogues
Not because he went from bagging up them grams to serving O's
Nah your daddy was a real n****, not 'cos he was hard
Not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind some bars
Not because he screamed f*ck the law, although that was true
Your daddy was a real n**** 'cuz he loved you"
For your eyes only - 2
Love Yourz
2014 Forest Hills Drive- Date Recorded: 2014
Best Lyrics:
It's beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success
Hear my words or listen to my signal of distress
I grew up in the city and know sometimes we had less
Compared to some of my n***** down the block, man, we were blessed
And life can't be no fairytale, no once upon a time
But I be goddamned if a n**** don't be tryin'
So tell me, mama please, why you be drinking all the time?
Does all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind? - 3
No Role Modelz
2014 Forset Hills Drive- Date Recorded: 2014
Best Lyrics:
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Fool me one time shame on you
Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you
Fool me three times, f*ck the peace signs
Load the chopper, let it rain on you

She Knows (ft. Amber Coffman & Cults)
Born Sinner- Date Recorded: 2013
Now I'm sure you done head about me
A black star, Mos Def, Kweli
Good so them bad hoes try me, they try me
This is Martin Luther King in the club, getting dubs
With a bad b*tch in his ear, sayin' that she down for whatever
In the back of his mind is Coretta
And she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows - 5
Neighbors
4 Your Eyez Only- Date Recorded: 2016
Best Lyrics:
Crib has got a big 'ol backyard
My n***** stand outside and pass cigars
Filled with marijuana, laughin' hard
Thankful that they friend's a platinum star
In the driveway there's no rapper cars
Just some sh*t to get from back and forth
Just some sh*t to get from back and forth
Welcome to the shelter, this is pure
We'll help you if you've felt too insecure
To be the star you always knew you were
Wait, I think police is at the doorOkay, the neighbors think I'm sellin' dope

Wet Dreamz
2014 Forest Hills Drive- Date Recorded: 2014
Best Lyrics:
I wrote back and said "of course I had sex before"
Knowing I was frontin'
I said I was like a pro baby
Knowing I was stuntin'
But if I told the truth I knew I'd get played out son
Hadn't been in p*ssy since the day I came out one
But, she don't know that
So she done roll back and told me
"Oh you a pro homie? Well I want you to show me
My mama gone for the weekend
So Saturday baby we can get to freakin'"
