MONEY TALKS

[Intro]
Hey man, they say money is the root of all evil
Nah, it's the love, the lust for money, that's the root of all evil
All this paper chasing and brain erasing, just for that cash

[Verse 1]
Life’s a chess game
Everybody’s chasing the check, or facing the debt
A drain in your nets just a pain in the neck
Placing the bet is this gamble a fair one
We’re just a pawn in this game going back to square one
It’s evident we’re all out for dead presidents
Vendetta against the bread when you’re left without a penny left
I’m blessed with innocent residence but never rest
It’s depressing since they’re just left with pressing lead
Bed of wet cement hard to look at a looking glass
Take the mirror down like Brigante and just rook your cash
Put the past away listen to what the pastor say
For you pass away and your caskets laid from a casual spray
That’s the wager of payment gain that is major
The game we play of labor that pains or is a savior
Don’t let cash become the dictator
Never chase it cause paper chasing is adjacent to danger

[Hook]
Money talks
Behold, the root of all evil
Money talks
Behold, the one that is lethal
Money talks
Everybody wants the most
They want a cut of the payment but end up cutting their throats
(2x)

[Verse 2]
I’m unmasking the acts who’re just asking the kings
For casting for puckering up to kiss their feet
Fork in the road, should you forfeit and fold
Or pork for the gold
Will they cue you in as queen when it’s told
(Heyo) women in dark night clubs taking an L
Trying to make ends meet attempt at paying their bills
Taping can sell
These girls getting naked as well
So they exchange this torture for waking in hell
(Ha) director calls action
But what’s his call to action
Staying awake late at night just to call for action
False attraction for guap the boss’s scandal
Getting a fraction of what they promised a goddess to straddle
Uh, checkmate
Accept checks to mate
Stress state
Plus the egg weight bout to add to the death rate
Intense wait
Wishing to reset fate
With men who spent eight months wondering if it’s their babe

[Hook]
Money talks
Behold, the root of all evil
Money talks
Behold, the one that is lethal
Money talks
Everybody wants the most
They want a cut of the payment but end up cutting their throats
(2x)

[Verse 3]
It goes 9-to-5 retire then time to die
Life ruined by the suit and tie that route not for I
Unorthodox seems stupid to average human eyes
Till your’re moving pace is proving great and your future’s bright
Affording more than four, four-door Fords bored record or store
A score for Forbes
Now everybody’s jumping the bandwagon
And hand shaking
Stand gaping but in hearts they’re mad quaking
I’m try’na stay modest had to get this off my chest
But to be honest I really just wish you all the best

[Hook]
Money talks
Behold, the root of all evil
Money talks
Behold, the one that is lethal
Money talks
Everybody wants the most
They want a cut of the payment but end up cutting their throats
(2x)

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

[Verse 1]
I got the eye of the tiger with the heart of a lion
And the bite of a viper with a mind that’s harder than Tyson’s
Charging hard like a spartan at the roster of titans
Spawn of Spartacus stopping the imposters and novices
Hostile confidence
Monuments been the consequence,
For not throwing the towel
Pondering vowels
And consonants
Hip hop my opulence
Prophet’s profit anonymous
But if I cop dominance
I’ll be caught by the optic lens
Kickin’ it with the swiftness give a quick switch kick
Like Cowboy so go down boy and stick to stiffness
Witness number one humble some
Always over eight points make joints pop like bubble gum
But I’m try’na Triple G’s while staying Donatello
Meaning lyrics hit like Triple G enough to rock a fellow
Literally when I withdrawal I got the bread tho
These jealous dudes quick to draw like when he fought Canelo

[Ringside Commentary]
And now, making his way to the ring, the rising star, the rookie of the year

[Hook]
Rookie of the year
It’s the rookie of the year, check
Rookie of the year
I’m the rookie of the year

[Verse 2]
Even if you made improvements you still dug your own grave
And head movement doesn’t work if you’re just stuck in one place
Yeah, remain stagnant and you’re sure to get bodied
Even if you shoulder roll (show the roll) we know that you’re just a copy
You may weather (Mayweather) the storm but I was born to scrap
Greatest ever torch in your palm I’m going after that
The aftermath you panic
Cause the baddest man on the planet
Will have you froze like the mannequin challenge
Check it
Be humble or be humbled
Their knees buckled
As soon as the feet of elite rumbled
Believe to achieve you see the soul in all his verses
He goes up they go down like a seesaw working
But you look like you got popped by USADA
Or popped by a sawed off
Teeing off like golf in the summer
But people screaming fight me now
But I don’t do gun bars I do arm bars Mighty Mouse

[Ringside Commentary]
Oh no! He’s been knocked down!
The rookie’s been knocked down!
This does not look good for the prospect of this year

[Hook]
Rookie of the year
It’s the rookie of the year, check
Rook-rookie of the year
I’m the rookie of the year

[Verse 3]
But what happens as soon as the goat missteps
What happens to hope when fans skip tracks
What happens when haters and fans unify
Who’ll have the throne when the goat’s crucified
The initial goals to take hold of the official role
But what’ll happen when you become the sacrificial goat
Was wrong action or lack of passion
I guess we won’t know till it all happens

[Outro: Ringside Commentary]
Oh, would you look at that!
He’s done the impossible and gotten up from that vicious knockdown!
He does not look phased and here they go.
He’s relaxed and whoa!!!
He’s done it, he knocked out the undisputed champion!
He truly is the rookie of the year!

S.O.C.

[Verse 1]
I'm a juggernaut juggling jugs throw another one
My hustling butt’s come to squash the fake snakes like butternut
They do nothing but bolt so I have to adjust a nut
Like wearing tight pants I might pass like I just puffed a blunt
Just kidding, thus ridding me of my amateur status
Controversial like planet earth flatness
Yeah I'm smart-mouthed it’s kinda like a dark cloud
Clown around I’ll come and pound you like a heart sound
Teeny boppers in bikini bottoms these freaky models
Cheeky believe me but end the weak she gulping bottles
It's a scam Instagram fake smiling
Nicknamed Mr. Sam cause what they say is lying
But I’ve been soul searching like the sneaker heads
Figure out how to win gold earning in the week ahead
Hard earned cash good old working that’s called pita bread
The bridge between two cultures the Sea of Red

[Verse 2]
The flows so hazardous
You can’t handle this
I’ll manhandle you panhandling rap vandal kings
Kicking these chickens wide fannies sour sweet
Knock ‘em off their rocker like granny out her seat
Might go psycho bait eye candy in shower scenes
While they use trap hooks for net bet without conceit
Fronting fake stunting blunting hip hop
Been mopping trick knocking fib talkers zip up!
Claim to break chains with a crowbar and a masked face
Talking murder but bare no arms like a basket case
They ain't happy but blow horn at a rapid pace
Haggard face gravel chase choosing where their casket lay
Yeah, I'm so humble I brag about
You probably only going after those is cattle outfits
Yeah, grab the saddle at about 6
Giddy up hideous other way like cow licks

JANUS

[Verse 1]
I’m sick of fake wicked snake faces
Hidden pain when you bit a bit of fame they hit bitter phases
Won’t stand for mirror gazing
Off the walls ricochet, disobeying religious faith pages
I need defense against friends I can handle enemies
It’s these secret identities
That leave deep cuts eventually
Cloak and dagger
Using emotion rather than reason
Treason against your own family member, really
They say blood’s thicker than water but see it’s
Really the richer the brother then the stronger the leeches
And the hawk who was scheming
Starts falling to pieces
Goes to the altar calling for the father who preaches
Tries washing his hands but his face is still bright green
Sings hymns and thinks his sins are wiped clean
Staring at a cross thinking of his winding path
Praying with both his fingers crossed right behind his back

[Hook]
Janus, Janus, Janus, Janus
I’ve seen so many masks
Seen so many acts
Cause they’re just Janus faced
Too late to realize
It’s all just disguises cause they’re just Janus

[Verse 2]
Double crossing crossed our mind like contemplation of Christ
Then push away the thoughts and realize Revelations was right
Good and evil wouldn’t we know contradiction was priced
The cost of course being caught in the damnation of life, man
Reap what you sow or grim reaper your soul
Sin weeper or sin keeper you pay what you owe
You gonna grit your molars or close doors when they’re open
Hop on the boat or hope you won’t be drowned by the ocean
Is Jehovah your boulder or are you locked with your demons?
Cause when the day ends it comes down to what you believe in
What do you believe in?

Ain’t no church in the wild

FEED THE BEAST

[Verse 1]
I'm hitting the mark, why?
Cause Kendrick Lamar setting the bar high
I'm try’na pass it like a lawyer ring the alarm like
The last trip to First National act natural grab cash-n-dash yelling
Let’s get in the car drive!
I'm going in so far that the sparks fly
You walked into the bar and came out with a dark eye
For you fly is part-time for me it’s in my genes (jeans)
You want the yellow tape here it is like crime scenes
People playin’ industry chess kissing his jeans
For gifts like Christmas trees
Peerages bursting the seams
Burst on the scene
Earn money then gone in 6 weeks
Times 10 that’s when eyes tend to give a quick sweep, for real
Cause the wool’s over your eyes
Wolf in disguise
As a goat
Hope the king dies
Cause they ain't playing with a full deck
Yet the kid with the pen is still skill slaying in the wolf’s den.

[Verse 2]
From east to west coast
I keep the peace respect most
But when he compete feed the beast capiche cause they'll never eat
Stepping to me is like taking a hike with 7 left feet
Self-proclaimed Apollos are low filling heaven’s bench seats
They hope he strike on give you a little stunt
People trying to stay low key like Tom Hiddleston
Man on a mission
With compositions
They gonna listen
Smoking competition so bad they want to swap positions
The fact remains that I’ll bash your brains like Cassius Clay
Till you can’t retain
All you know it’s dope happier state
Ignorance is bliss vigorous business
But you as fly as Icarus
When rip currents, said sip this
Racked my brains for the grain harvest
Superman breaking chains escape (S cape) artist
Grip the mic made of kryptonite remained hardest
They hope for fame but in the lowest lane (Lois Lane), hey, I stay honest

EQ ESQ

[Verse 1]
At the moment I see an omen like, oh, man, I’m done
I’m almost old, man, I’m dumb with cards I chose to hold ‘em
Didn’t fold like origami so stop me if you heard this before
Regret less live more
I guess you’ve heard that before

Sometimes I speak before I listen
But the breath of wisdom is showing me visions
I’m fishing but still imprisoned by my human condition
Will I see?
That’s the question of mystery that I’m missing please

I don’t understand
I won’t cut a man
But understand that I’m just a man who’s suffering
I’m suffering

[Hook]
I wish I had the power
I wish I wasn’t coward
I wish I had an ounce of
An ounce of strength to make it
I wish I was devoured

[Verse 2]
I knew it right no rational decision
Cause right now it feels like suicide by cannibalism
Eaten inside out and outside in
Inside doubt that provides outcry’s in
I cant take it!

Feel like I’m losing breath
Noose and neck
Fused as the fuse shortens
War and peace I’m choosing death
But refuse I bet

[Hook]
I wish I had the power
I wish I wasn’t coward
I wish I...
I wish I had a counselor
I wish I had a counselor
That’s it, I think I have a counselor
I guess I have a counselor

**EQ ESQ Clears Throat**

[Verse 3: EQ ESQ Speaks]
At the moment I see your struggle
Your guard is open
And swollen knuckles keep hitting
You are your own opponent
But don’t forget the mind is potent
You know this
There’s light when the tunnel ends
But there’s venom before that moment

If there’s doubt, calm her, don’t yield
If you shout, karma will wield
You go out, it’s out on your shield
Remember, to be the best you must beat the best
And your mind defeats you
To sleep at ease you must keep the beast on a leash and lead too
If you do not then sooner knots are on top to eat you
But once controlled it will show you gold and owe to treat you
Let it breathe
Let it breathe in you

There is hope yet
