everything i seen made me what i am,
need that trophy in my hand and 100 bands
had 2 get it out the dirt so we understand
doing what they cant, once again
we win against odds
taking steps forward
im tired i press on, smokin cess; strong
that money gon test bonds
tell me when to start
gaze at the stars 4 reflection
penning my sentence
days i couldnt mention
feelin dejected
asking all these questions, seeking a message
blessing that i cherish straight off the merit
made my investments,
saw the return
crossed the earth lit my fire now i stand on my word
let the water quench my thirst coolin in the sky
couldnt lie ima get if its mine
every time
swear im peepin every sign
spliffs and wine
why im high all the time?
doing fine,
early mornin when i rise
steady grind
know i shine bright,
niggas getting sideswiped
book me for the right price
really had 2 climb heights
maneuver thru the night
gettin thru it when i write
moving thru the time
wrote the truth it rhymed
niggas lying thru they teeth
play 4 keeps
zip inside the fleece, get me free let me breathe
let me be
if its love then let me see
memories trickle in
in the cold shivering, let my niggas in
memories trickle in
strong spirited, let my niggas in
in the cold shivering

to hear two diamonds in the rough in Backwoodz and Ruby Yacht on the same track is really quite a special moment we're unlikely to hear again, and boy does that track pay! Pay Dues Make Do

this album came out the day after my high school graduation, and there have been tons of memories associated with this one. mike's showing his range on this one - from downright despondent on scarred lungs 1/2 and suffocate to hopeful on stargazer and PLANET to flexing his muscles on take crowns, summer 17 and my favorite, its like basketball. harrisonjohn28

...it's a work of art. The way he goes across genres to express the black experience...I LOVED Ensley but I'm glad that he went totally left. James Smith
