[Verse 1: Sulaiman] Yea Take notes how I carry out this year Fit all white like I'm Barry out this here Sound fly when you say it like that Don't front why you playing like that DeReons stacked sippin' DeLeon spirits Baby got back told her carry on get it I pour some money in it if you down to get stacks Not to mention opposition's bound to get smacked A black cat scratched to the top of the lot Shot plenty shots I could put dots on a opp Pop any snot bubble who starts trouble And take a giant down to eye level I'm David a rock rebel Why settle for what's given to me? I'm in full control of what I want my image to be I could Diddy bop, drop enough fire to make the city hot Fill the tank with gas and dip in the V [Chorus] Follow my son my good dear Take notes there's nothing to fear Just do it like this here Just do it like this here Yea Follow my son my good dear Take notes there's nothing to fear Just do it like this here Just do it like this here Yea [Verse 2: Sulaiman] Hello to ghetto, I only fight metal with metal A clear third option like Melo on OKC Cause if I can't see ya'll make peace or be civil I'ma hold a piece I ain't talkin' Harolds though they speak Like I'm the first black mayor from the day I put the pencil to the paper Jerome-y Rome playa from the Himalaya Slid up in the playa gators all I had to do was pick a flavor Uh Certified freaks Now I see what pimpin' is, all I had to do was reap the benefit Give a little game little symbolance Is it a sin that I pretend when I'm goin' up in That it's an ATM give it a pin and leave the ink on the skin of a 10 Then I move to her friend, who? You was the problem you let the thang loose Now I got you tied up like a hang noose, lame proof [Chorus] Follow my son my good dear Take notes there's nothing to fear Just do it like this here Just do it like this here Yea Follow my son my good dear Take notes there's nothing to fear Just do it like this here Just do it like this here Yea Follow my son my good dear Take notes there's nothing to fear Just do it like this here Just do it like this here Yea Follow my son my good dear Take notes there's nothing to fear Just do it like this here Just do it like this here Yea

[Verse 1: Sulaiman] It’s me, I’m Leonardo the DaVinci of rap I got inventions in my sketchbook that convince me of that My dissertation couldn’t fit on a DAT I pull a brim out a hat Dip from sunshine, shielded from the one time Never will I ever put my gat or put my blunt down world Serial number like a record deal I’m unsigned world I fist fight with life Made light at the end of the tunnel of the concrete jungle Tug O’ War the hair of a Rapunzel for a leisure sport The secret in the swing the way I get my knee to torque “Is Suli magic?” Do an eagle soar? There ain’t no stupid question, really Really just stupid people what the dilly Started wanting a millie now I want a billie And plus a date with Trilly Jilly My pen to paper silly so my paper pin number can purchase Whatever item I’m observing And wipe away concerning I earned it [Chorus] Skin like cinnamon Young black gentlemen Shit ain't sweet please fill em' in Bright like filament Height like tenament Hypebeast trynna be like me Skin like cinnamon Young black gentlemen Shit ain't sweet please fill em' in Bright like filament Height like tenament Hypebeast trynna be like me Fight me [Verse 2: Sulaiman] Now I been thinking bout planning on a plot to make a come up Lifting a gun up to hunt em’ down sundown to sun up It’s a couple bad apples among us, hiding bruises Till’ they fester and yet we so inclusive Play the jester for a better conclusion, to no avail To holy hell I send anybody who play as thought they know me well Where we from they squeeze guns like Capri Suns Walk inside with ski masks and they seize funds Puncturing elephants for the tusk of the ivory So how could you benefit, ever reach to the highest key? The same ghetto you lovin’ got a sustain pedal On the pain puddled and shot inside of a vein, hello Careful how you comin’ when running wit’ heavy metal The spook by the door with the shadow Now though that I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no man it was all in God’s plan [Chorus] Skin like cinnamon Young black gentlemen Shit ain't sweet please fill em' in Bright like filament Height like tenament Hypebeast trynna be like me Skin like cinnamon Young black gentlemen Shit ain't sweet please fill em' in Bright like filament Height like tenament Hypebeast trynna be like me Fight me

[Verse 1: sulaiman] Killing niggas ain't saying much They'll kill a nigga then just say it's us See a black life got a back light If the cash right they'll spray em up And it's no snitching we oppose telling But it's no voting for a former felon And the army mailin' niggas out to die Coming back blood soaked hung out to dry You think it's cool yeah you think it's cute Televised revolutions get the mute Here's some chicken soup for the lost souls Trynna un-learn all the false goals Keep your head spinning and your eyes open Why demand vision from the blindfolded? Don't be tryin’ build your lil something real When ya floorboard got the pine bucklin’ Killing niggas is a rite of passage When you mimic captors turning up ya savage Into living lavish never owning nothing Never paying taxes til’ they come and cuff it I control the public while I hold my private Squeezed out now you turning violent Think you Michael Jackson think you starting something You a plush toy bet you farted stuffing I regarded hustling as a middle passage Niggas move the package on the new Atlantic So the Jim Crow like the rich folks Who can sniff coke like a true romantic Give a crack habit to the dark people I'm as endangered as the bald eagle And I do believe that we the chosen people With ya head high know they won't defeat you [Chorus] And here I was thinking that I wasn’t enough You got me fucked up And here I was thinking that I wasn’t enough You got me fucked up [Verse 2: Sulaiman] Niggas killin is apocalypse Black women get on top of shit We can topple it, it's a big scam Give me freedom or death I got both planned I was owed hands and a modern mule How I toiled land and embodied cool Think the common rule was to make us sweat Just to bottle our wisdom and intellect Never get a check, or a footnote Get rich or die trying's a good quote But who even made it to the real race From this concentration camp or steel cage Yeah I feel rage, PTSD Got no answers the days that they test me Give em yes no please thank you dip Know they want my life they ain't taking shit They killing niggas cause niggas killin’ Trynna be a hero they made a villain But revealing history get super sour When you brave the storm and speak truth to power As the final Hour of the clock tickin’ And the story dies while I’m plot diggin’ I cannot fail My God different Wouldn’t lock children in a dark prison Wouldn’t block women from a right to vote Kill black leaders put a knife to throat Ain’t no wonder why I’m finna light the dope On these baby-woke elite types of blokes Too close ten feet no pressure know better Do better quick self check mmm who better There’s never, been a time before when all God’s fam in alliance I ran into Zion [Chorus] And here I was thinking that I wasn’t enough You got me fucked up And here I was thinking that I wasn’t enough You got me fucked up

[Verse 1: Sulaiman] Emotional terrorist? I thought you’d do better bitch But walking for both of us leaving paws in the sediment Yo zaddy that’s present tense got more sway than your daddy O Pastor blasted em and walked away from his burial You bear the cold, clothes all tattered and torn Cause you been here before ghosts that inhabit ya form Be callin’ out, I saw the doubt before you saw me You was long to the form I kept it short to a T I come like ain’t you tired of niggas out here playing you for foolish? And ladies call you baby then behind you turn to Judas? Just let me soothe it I keep the 30 like Calvin Coolidge And if you cool it and wanna pop it I’ll let you shoot it I’d rather you twist the sour than to give you the power I’ll protect til’ you forget just who was here before I was You obsessing over steps in the shower and crying out Please help me, broke as a fuck while he’s wealthy Hit em’ with the Mercury quick and be stealthy So they never find out, then put on a fine blouse Find doubt, make a story in between all the facts Let em tell it though, you know it go deeper than that [Chorus] Hand in the fire your desire You’ll learn when you burn Who deserves your concern Who can take you higher And admire if you turn then you turn Cool hands on ya curves Everybody say true love It’s all over for the fool love And I don’t really do love But I'ma have to choose up [Verse 2: Sulaiman] You scroll 20 tim s a day, requesting her private page She never take pictures with you she say they for modeling She pose like you got it babe? Now pay the photographer Wondering how he get them sexy faces up out of her No modern philosopher lack a sense of awareness And when you took a shot at her, she was sitting with Clarence Didn’t ask for a clearance, you just ran interference And she so easily greasily slid with you outta marriage See people set precedence like presents get wrapped Faster than X pull sexing with ya ex with no strap Not applause but you collected a clap, and stayed faithful The Trojan horse come as a gift, til’ they invade you God protects babies and fools, you Mr. know it all She turned a new leaf with you, don’t wanna show it all But all that showing how she got you open in the first place You opened up the floodgates and now she out with Sergeyev Heard on the way out that you called her a bitch But you the bitch for starting shit and not evolving to quit If you responded more to dollars than to following clits You’d be a whole ass nigga not a broke ass nigga [Chorus] Hand in the fire your desire You’ll learn when you burn Who deserves your concern Who can take you higher And admire if you turn then you turn Cool hands on ya curves Everybody say true love It’s all over for the fool love And I don’t really do love But I'ma have to choose up

Who Want To 04:11
[Verse 1: Sulaiman] You wanna get something done then do it yourself Or else them niggas’ll introduce your future to shelves When I came up I saw record deals congruent to wealth But holy hell I seen so many phonies fail Caught in the limelight, no time to get all they backend designed right They paying people who ain’t even been cracking in our life Purveying evil the reason the people is eager To get a piece at least if they die they can leave it to beaver And Huck Finn I traded the raft for a plush Benz They used to call me Nigga Jim when I was runnin’ with them That type of shit would get up under my skin, but it’s my skin that Was the proof that I’m the sun i got a tan from where i been at I guess when the synapse snizzapped that’s when they lost it Down a dub ain’t wanna forfeit so they cheated and shit... Before me we was cautious now I’m here to make em nauseous Crackers blocked my grandfather now I eat at the Ritz Suck my dick [Chorus] Take a little turn I got control of my life Wanna make us get dumb, wonder where the rent from I been on the hustle every day and all night Everything I spit I'm doing for my kids' sons Who want to move with you? Who want to groove with you Who want to who want to? Who want to move with you? Who want to groove with you Who want to who want to? [Verse 2: Sulaiman] The hash burnin' keeps my 'stache turnin' I keep the back burner on for rap vermin give the mass sermons God hit me like it's urgent I been up here observing your conversion, the perfect servant You make me nervous Yo verbiage got a burden you aware of that? You bound to put a large target on your narrow back for Staring back when the beast try and test you Nothing to sneeze at so let me bless you you special I hope the next you start off where you end at Finish yo sentence like a syntax Quick jab ain't no bracin' for impact I want the whole world, world, wonder how I get that But really, it's where I live at, my wife and kids at See freedom is a passport stamp and clean visa Til' you meeting with the Global Elite and need neither We could be in Ibiza in the morning Be in London for the sun falling In the dead of summer make it autumn [Chorus] Take a little turn I got control of my life Wanna make us get dumb, wonder where the rent from I been on the hustle every day and all night Everything I spit I'm doing for my kids' sons Who want to move with you? Who want to groove with you Who want to who want to? Who want to move with you? Who want to groove with you Who want to who want to? [Verse 3: Sulaiman] The feeling of feeling bad shit shouldn't happen to you What a blessing to live in a system that never limited Anything you was interested in, you feel efiminate Scurry percentages, off the integers, look at 'em limitless Filling the prisons with minor offenses is step one Get em stuck in the system but more'll come Give em fifteen or more for a gun, with ill intent And a floor to ceiling list of conflicting events He near illiterate, mog can't even read what he received They planted him as a seed for capitalistic greed They want it haunting me while I'm moving legit To know at any moment they could pull a move on me quick But ain't success to want the best and not to take no for an answer? They act like backing blackness is the same as pumping cancer So dance with the animal, entrance it with tangible Notes from banks with portraits of ghosts with ranks [Chorus] Take a little turn I got control of my life Wanna make us get dumb, wonder where the rent from I been on the hustle every day and all night Everything I spit I'm doing for my kids' sons Who want to move with you? Who want to groove with you Who want to who want to? Who want to move with you? Who want to groove with you Who want to who want to?

Run That 03:00
[Verse 1: Sulaiman] Adamantium strength Timbs to toss ya whole frame up A shame that anybody would blame us They know the way that we came up Dan Ryan woods in train trucks Flame up my last four fucks I just ducked at the stop light on 99th With the homeless homie fighting life Just looking for a way out Get busy like Italian Fiesta takeout The fam made the layout I just followed the schematic Ali Malik, Ibn of Alauddin, I got it in my skin... That's how I know that I’ma win, let me go again Appropriate poetry for the opening I'm going in Tossing the turquoise, throwing gems, ahem The phlegm even worth more than the words Now I'm into action I'm into verbs [Chorus] And yea you know me now You and me we homies now you better hold me down Hold me down don’t slow me down I'm on my lonely now, but when I come back.... Ohh when I come back... you better run that And yea you know me now You and me we homies now you better hold me down Hold me down don’t slow me down I'm on my lonely now, but when I come back.... Ohh when I come back... you better run that [Verse 2: Sulaiman] You better act like you knowin’ what time it is You on sundial I'm on stopwatch I block the shot clock With, pots and pans that block rock My niggas have risen out of conditions of a purposeful onslaught I guess the block used to call cops, but nowadays we duck from em’ Keep our hands up, still get slugs from em’ That's enough youngin’, buss at em’ back And live another day to fend an attack, niggas is black Don't forget it...yeah right like if you could Like, culture vultures mimic ya visage up in they hood Type tipping into it and change to Charlie for the interview They, master your language then get rid of you Common thread, sin a new asshole with third eye vision Asking fake saints to confirm my sinnin’ Earn just to learn I'm living and get it to you faster Educated nigga ig’nant cracker [Chorus] And yea you know me now You and me we homies now you better hold me down Hold me down don’t slow me down I'm on my lonely now, but when I come back.... Ohh when I come back... you better run that And yea you know me now You and me we homies now you better hold me down Hold me down don’t slow me down I'm on my lonely now, but when I come back.... Ohh when I come back... you better run that
