Bad Better Best
And in these moments that I died, I felt the thrill to be alive
I can be bad
I can be better
Until I can be my best
Yeah I’m tryna be better
I can b, I can b anything, anything
It’s the return of the prodigal
Looking through my pockets to pocket impossible
We are rockets
We unstoppable
Sky bound wit a sly sound
No breaks
Gas em all, I’m burning the motor ask Jake
Woop woop, it sounding like you got bad breaks
Dooooood, I don’t question that, who the last great?
That’s fate and I’m fatal when in the fast lane
Last take I disable and make 'em bad brains
Last name call me Able, forgive the old Cain
Last name call me Kodiak, let me explain
Form a little a dood I was bare knuckling and bare
Better make some room, I be barely shoving
I’m barely huffing
My altitude was at 8000, I ain’t drowning
Optical zooming, I ain’t grounded, I skate mountains
Crimson and clover I’m a land rover, keep shouting
Over and over 'till my words make the earth rounded
A curved speech bet I throw the heat, they all scouting
My verb reach, gotta gotta grow teach, I flow fountains
(Yeaaaahhh)
By the Gallon, a hundred becomes a thousand
Catch me in the sky browsing, I’m looking for new housing, uh
Percent until advantage, a hundred becomes a thousand
Catch me in the sky shouting, the letters let’s keep counting
Aye
Until my pencil is the tree and the tree will become the mountain
I can be bad
Within these moments that I died I felt the thrill
I can be better
I felt the thrill to be alive and make it real
Until I can be my best
Yeah I’m tryna be better
I can b, I can b anything, anything
I dunno know lose pockets still looking to boost
Awful playful from the cradle, who thought that I could fuse
Ah
Feel this vibe, feel that flow
Keep my energy high and original
The second coming of a concept
To think before I speak
At least a week to take my speech
Indeed it’s deeper than a fleet of yellow submarines
And so it seems the things you thought were going on were clean
But bro I’m dirty, man I’m mean
So know me muthaf****, you don’t know me muthaf****
Throwing elbow macaroni muthaf****
I ain’t phony, I got homies and we own this muthaf****
Testimonies on testimonies and only burning rubber
I can
I can be bad
Within these moments that I died I felt the thrill
I can be better
I felt the thrill to be alive and make it real
Until I can be my best
I can b, I can b.
Yeah I’m tryna be better
I can b, I can b anything, anything
I used to look at the man in the mirror caught up
Using power and people to fill my watch up
But still was missing out most of the mission brought up
Mamma told me I’m better and better lock up
Be accountable, lift up the ones around you
And don’t ever tell yourself you ain’t special, you’re all angels
Yeah, I like that angle
Keep writing away the anger
Keep tightening until it’s strangled
Im fighting I like the danger, get excited with the stranger parts of life
I tell myself to be the knife and sharpen all the parts I like
I had the brightest nights and darkest days
I had the light within my fight f*** up my art so they just parted ways
I told myself to take the lead and once you still decide to stay
I know I’m bad again, I know I’m better
To be the best and I so wrote this rhyme forever
I can be bad
Within these moments that I died I felt the thrill
I can be better
I felt the thrill to be alive and make it real
Until I can be my best
I can b, I can b
Yeah I’m tryna be better
I can b, I can b anything, anything
I can B, I can B Anything
I can dream, I can dream any dream
I can be bad, I can be better, I can be my best

Lace These Shoes
Well ok
(Yeah)
This that west coast Cali banger
Not a singer
Catch me hooking like a coat hanger
She want my address
Shit I don't blame 'er
But I'm off on foot
Girl, Lone Ranger
Been at the bottom
But I'm rising to the top player
Gotta out smart 'em
Kindly smile then I'm off haters
This got me thinking 'bout the way it used to be (yeah)
Can't over think it gotta play for you and me (yeah)
You got me feeling like a kid again
Got me knowing that this music shit will be my medicine
You got me feeling like a kid again
Gotta write what's right in front of me
Will someone pass the pen, uh
Young homie writing 'till get older
Vokab card holder try'na throw from shoulder
We all good
Been at it since I bailed outta math class
Right lane
Left lane
All the same when I gas
It's on
Let the beat simply beak
Take a puff Cali something
Got me we floating away
Let the bass go and step down
Take a puff Cali chronic
Got me we floating away
And we up
Yeah we up, said we up
Gotta get
Take a puff Cali chronic
Got me we floatin away
Chorus:
I lay low
Still I fly
Still lace these same ol’ shoes
Roll me on up
Roll me up right
And blow away these blues
Then leave it all up in the sky
Just enough for me and you
There’s not a day that goes by
That I don’t walk the way I do
Lace these shoes
So warm it up man
Course I'm burnt but today I stay the course man
Of course I can
I got some other plans
My problems getting smaller
Like how to be a man
Ain't just about gettin' taller
Create my world, then I spin myself dizzy
Still I'm just a squirrel try’na keep myself bizzy
Discussing' local politics over chopsticks
Then head home, and puff a little Stanley Kubrick.
I need a cool chick
Maybe a sidekick
We'd have a picnic
Maybe some lipstick
Up on my collar but that's later swear I'll call ya, yeah
My only problems are my problems, but I'll probably solve 'em
Can have it all, man
But summers calling me
The pavement's feeling warm
You should follow me
Let's get a jump to that next city, looking pretty
I made ya laugh, now youre getty feel the kid in me go
Chorus out
