The MAXtape

JOURNEY 03:08
JOURNEY I lost this part of myself thinking my rapping was done Lost the inspiration, no navigation to where the passion came from Lost the motivation for far too many of Max’s laps ‘round the sun Until I Stopped caring about who listened and let it happen for fun So Maybe The MAXtape means more Than any other raps from before I’m shooting no look shots just happy if they happen to score These songs are the rainbows and the sunshine you see after the storm Function, fashion and form lost to smashing the norm Ima a human I don’t know what I’m doin or why I’m doin it When I do get to pursuing a dream don’t know why I ruin it Every lie has true in it Every sky has blue in it Every cry has you in it Every eye that’s viewing it, sees the tears as glistening To every ear that’s listening Every time I get inspired now I hold onto that feeling like a drowning man holding onto his last breath I used to be afraid of growing up and getting older until I realized that there’s so much more for us past death Still CaliforniALIVE to this day, you know I’m riding the wave No longer hide or afraid until I slide in a grave Let go of pride but stay brave And feed your mind what it craves Find your island or cave See you’re fine now you’re saved CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE Squeeze the juice of the lime and then drop the rind in the vodka Staying unconfined in my mind while I'm realigning my chakras My tongue can twist up a rhyme as soon as it’s time for Chief Rocka Boom Shaka Laka I’ll make ya shake your behind in some Dockers Take a walk along the shore before you fall into the sea Be like water without form and you can always be so free Lyrical powers growing flowers let me pollenate this beat So y’all can hate this bee or just call it great ITS HEAT Life is hard to not just see, it as this never ending constant battle Like You’re tryna ride the horse but can’t seem to stay on the saddle Like you’re stuck in shits creek and You gotta use your arms to paddle Never can you find the balance between being calm and rattled So bad It feels like living in hell in this doomed area Til Ya take a step back and a smell of the plumerias Then ride that floral wave can’t tell where the bloom carry ya A place where you fall in love with the bud and the shrooms marry ya So walk down the path that you know for nostalgia Or run down the path of unknown for adventure Relive your fondest memories or go for the wilder Without takin a chance never know where it sent ya The flow I present ya is rain, leave you wet for sure Verses so vivid, I spit it, ya smell the petrichor When it comes to obeying orders I think less is more The worlds a mess, who knows what comes next - EXPLORE May the soles of my boots last so long to endure every step that my journey may take me May the soul at my roots be so strong to endure every blow when the journey may break me May the cross that I bear remain steady enough on my journey to keep me from dropping May the crown that I wear remain heavy enough that my journey is never forgotten

PRACTICE 04:28
PRACTICE I'm sittin on a periwinkle blue bench on my back patio sippin on a glass of rye. It's 70 degrees with a breeze, blowin trees, I mean the wind as well as me, bet yo' ass I'm high. No need for a war, lemme pacify. Move the hatred aside, let it pass me by. I'll answer any question, except if you ask me why. Free as a feather forever, not the last to fly. Life's short, play it harder than a sport on a court, because in the end everybody has to die. Put a pistol in the air and you blast the sky, Like you could hit the man above and make that bastard cry. That's blas-phem-I, I mean blasphemy. Another bullet and you pull it, now you blast for me. Now you've killed God and MAX M. ILL but is your task complete? Barrel pressed against your temple, now they pass in three. But not this time 'cause I'm alive and so I'm guessing God has intervened. Which means you couldn't kill him either, maybe thoughts were in between, The possibility of murder and a lot of grisly scenes, Or recognizing that this was a peaceful jam, you missed the theme. Twist the green, get high as me, I'm loving the view. Another cold brew and a shot of Tullamore Dew. Never stressing the obstacles I'm shovin' on through. Wanna bury the bullshit? I got a shovel for you! Dig it - like you tryna hit the bottom of a lava pit Or buried treasure where I'd measure something that I gotta get. Open up the chest to read you this important document, I can reassure you that it's not a fuck and not a shit, It's not a single care, I'm tryna bring awareness to the moment. Never waste it, never chase it, just embrace that shit and own it. When it comes to being happy this might be the main component. What the fuck do I know? But it sounds kinda life changin' don't it?! Been gone for too long but I'm back to thrill. This track's for Phil - we talkin bout PRACTICE, chill! I'm laughing still, never have I lacked the skill. What should the next rhyme be? Oh yeah - MAX. M ILL! Too many freestyles, why'd I never stack the bills? Why'd I never play arenas that were packed to gills? Why can't I just enjoy tequila and my dad can grill? I treat the beat like I'm Vegeta, damn I have to kill. I'm crackin' lil inside jokes but the flow sick. Barbershop quality - yo' bars barely BoRics. You don't get that line, I give two fucks, no shits. Said the same thing last verse, you should know this. And you should notice, clearly my bro's missed. Batman Forever and I'm Seal with the Rose Kiss. Aiming at the target never fear that I'm gon' miss. I'ma go the hardest, they won't cheer if there's no risk. So it's - not about applause at all. Wish that everybody wins, nobody lost to fall. Don't think my shit is clever, whatever, I'll cause a brawl. To be a rebel forever, love me flaws and all. Can't pause or stall 'til I reach the end of my goal. Taken broken pieces of a man to mend to a whole. All the tears that I've shed were merely cleansing my soul. Give me the strength the handle everything I'm meant to control. I went down the whole, chasing the rabbit, traveling to Wonderland. Riding through my mind as it unravels, try to understand. I'm runnin - damn, the judge has got a gavel and a gun in hand. So I'm the outlaw hoppin on my saddle as a wanted man. But let's get back to Earth we lost in my universe see, I'll provide you some mercy, I get livest on verse 3. I'm the ILLEST, I don't think coronavirus can curse me. A freestyle for the kid rocking' the Iverson jersey.

DAFFODILLS 04:34
DAFFODILLS I'm BACK you better BRACE yourself, don't know if you can handle MAX Spittin' fire, drippin' higher level than some candle wax My songs are Timberland boots at the beach, nah these ain't sandal tracks Dismantle facts into little riddles written with vandal acts Graffiti random raps, spray paint my bars on bricks Custom Chucks up on my feet so please just pardon my kicks Always believed I could ascend into the stars from the sticks The prestige is part of the trick and so my art is a mix Of magic, madness, mindfulness and motivational speech A vibrant voice always authentic with the occasional reach Without the patience to preach but the inspiration to teach How to transform grey skies to a sunny day at the beach God's in every grain of sand, I know I said it before Sip spirits with shaky hands, I gotta steady the pour Got pistols to go with pencils, using lead even more I'm always praying for peace and yet I'm ready for war I'm unruly with no studio, so now I think that you should know By summer I'll go dumber and be right back with that stupid flow And I don't mean it in the sense to say that my IQ is low But truly though, the rumors show your dude has got the cue to blow Got keef under my cuticles, the doobie rolled, I'm smokin No need to try to fix it if it aint already broken So sit back and let it soak in, if it isn't thought provokin My apologies, the scholarly still have to get a joke in Scribble words so sloppy on the pad, you see 'em think a child had wrote this Max be spittin' nasty, if you ask me, say my style the grossest Open up my mouth, it's like my raps be reeking halitosis You aint heard about it? Bet yo ass that yo best pal would know this Now ya notice: power, focus, bringing all the best forth No direction, broken compass, EAST, SOUTH, WEST, NORTH Supposedly it's cool to be cozy, what I get dressed for? My bros are rockin robes and I'm showing up in my sweat shorts And they ask me if I'm rappin still I tell 'em "HELL YEAH, YOU KNOW THE NAME, MAX. M ILL!" Always laid back and chill Like I was laying in a field full of DAFFODILS I said, man they ask me if I'm rappin still I tell 'em, "HELL YEAH, YOU KNOW THE NAME, MAX. M ILL!" Always laid back and chill Like I was laying in a field full of DAFFODILS I watched a butterfly fade into the horizon Like a sailboat floating out over the ocean skies and Realized that my reality is only in my eyes and My imagination may create scenery more surprising Than the simple thoughts and literal images of the average man I'm staring at the city streets and seeing them as savage lands Viewing fields of flowers as kaleidoscopes of cabbage and I'm flexing in my same old fashion like this shit's a lavish brand Making my own clothes and creating my own flows I'm determined to be myself more than anything else 'Cause I just wanna make art but deep inside of my heart I can't be the guy with the sign saying, "ANYTHING HELPS" I'm badder than M. BISON and writing as cold as ice 'n I've learned throughout my life that almost anything melts You can listen to my lyrics but if they don't touch your spirit I'm happy that you can hear it, but is anything felt? That's too deep, lemme try and stop, my verse is carved in Mayan rocks Wilder than the creatures in Australia like a flying fox My punchlines are Mike Tyson in his prime, you wanna try and box? Gimme a two clap and a Ric Flair, shout out to Ryan Cox ***CLAP CLAP -- WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!*** This is the MAXtape, live from the living room Sippin Irish whiskey, gettin' high while I give it to'em Feeling like when Phil and I caught vibes when we did them shrooms Sweepin' other rappers to the side, lemme get the broom These jerks be fakin' like turkey bacon just lurkin' waitin' For you to slip up, get hurt and break and then you're mistaken So swerve on Satan, deter the hatin', be pure and great and You're sure to shake 'em and rise above the infuriation You heard me saying, Yes I'm rappin still What else would you expect? Ayo it's MAX M. ILL! Always laid back and chill Like I was laying in a field full of DAFFODILS DAAAAANNNNCEEE BREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKK!!!!! BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE Yeah you heard the beat Now I'm on Bourbon Street You heard that beat switch up I'm on Bourbon Street wit ya Yeah you heard the beat Now I'm on Bourbon Street You heard that beat switch up I'm on Bourbon Street wit ya BOUNCE And they ask me if I'm rappin' still I tell 'em, "HELL YEAH, YOU KNOW THE NAME, MAX M. ILL!" Always laid back and chill Like I was laying in a field full of DAFFODILS They ask me if I'm rappin still I tell 'em, "HELL YEAH, YOU KNOW THE NAME, MAX M. ILL!" Always laid back and chill Like I was laying in a field full of DAFFODILS

BLANKET IN THE SAND Feelin most inspired when I’m writing beach side I want the biggest hugs man you gotta reach wide And squeeze tight arms wrapped around each side Humility is the ill in me no I don’t preach pride I need more smiles and less mean mugs And weed in piles the only clean drug Less fake gangsters that only seem thug And better sleep anybody got a dream plug? No more nightmares my demons don’t fight fair Waking up in sweats breathing heavy got my wife scared Heart is always on my sleeve and my soul I might bare Tryna get my shit together I don’t think I’m quite there Nothings ever perfect so it’s more about improvement Life is always worth it long as forward is the movement I can drop the beat and make you wonder where the groove went I guess my thoughts complete I’m just giving you my two cents AND ALL OF THIS WAS WRITTEN WHILE I STARE AT THE PACIFIC TELL YOU THAT IM LIVING GREAT NO NEED TO SHARE ANY SPECIFICS ROLL A SPLIFF OR TWIST A JOINT, YEAH I WISH THAT YOU COULD JOIN CUZ LIFE CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT LIKE THE FLIPPING OF A COIN AND ALL OF THIS WAS WRITTEN ON A BLANKET IN THE SAND IF YOU ASK ME HOW IM LIVING I SAY THANKS IM FEELIN GRAND AND I HOPE THE SAME FOR YOU, IMA SIP A DRANK OR TWO WHILE I WATCH THE WAVES ROLL IN, I NEVER WANNA CHANGE THIS VIEW We don’t wanna grow older but we post in the sun Aging ourselves until the point that our days mostly are done Nah that’s a negative view of it and I won’t be the one To not live in the moment with the focus on fun Lemme see them tan lines summertimes when ya man shines Pullin up with that rare energy that you can’t find Living on the west side, been my favorite hand sign Don’t care bout Instagram shine or blowing up like landmines Cuz I Been rappin since landlines, phones with the rotary Every time I drop a verse you know that it’s poetry Mind you I follow my heart but my soul is controlling me The ocean wit flows you see a pro with it vocally Grow from the broken piece like petals of a succulent Shining in the sand just like the metal of a lucky cent Want a mansion on the beach but I would settle for an ugly tent So I could crash on every coast and set up where the fuck we went! AND ALL OF THIS WAS WRITTEN WHILE I STARE AT THE PACIFIC TELL YOU THAT IM LIVING GREAT NO NEED TO SHARE ANY SPECIFICS ROLL A SPLIFF OR TWIST A JOINT, YEAH I WISH THAT YOU COULD JOIN CUZ LIFE CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT LIKE THE FLIPPING OF A COIN AND ALL OF THIS WAS WRITTEN ON A BLANKET IN THE SAND IF YOU ASK ME HOW IM LIVING I SAY THANKS IM FEELIN GRAND AND I HOPE THE SAME FOR YOU, IMA SIP A DRANK OR TWO WHILE I WATCH THE WAVES ROLL IN, I NEVER WANNA CHANGE THIS VIEW I love the smell of suntan lotion, sand, ocean Ice cold beer in my hand, now that’s my damn potion Sometimes the pace is such a race gotta slow this mans motion Take a few hours to smell the flowers quite a grand notion To miss the beauty in life would be a blunder or travesty When the world we live in is so full of wonder and majesty On my Steel City Surfboard, no one is as rad as me No verse is gonna be average G when I done it so savagely 21 or Randy Macho Man or Megan the Stallion Dropping gems like a sloppy jeweler bootlegging medallions I’m the head of the wild ones like I led the battalion Omelette em beg for an album like an egg with the scallions Just lemme keepin rippin flows while I’m sippin Pacifico Hope I spit it prolific yo, Shaq and Kobe the give and go You can check out my fit and know like the ocean my drip is WHOA Wrote this on a blanket in the sand staring at the Pacific yo But listen though it isn’t so sunny at times there’s shade and fog Rest In Peace to Gator there will never be a greater dog AND ALL OF THIS WAS WRITTEN WHILE I STARE AT THE PACIFIC TELL YOU THAT IM LIVING GREAT NO NEED TO SHARE ANY SPECIFICS ROLL A SPLIFF OR TWIST A JOINT, YEAH I WISH THAT YOU COULD JOIN CUZ LIFE CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT LIKE THE FLIPPING OF A COIN AND ALL OF THIS WAS WRITTEN ON A BLANKET IN THE SAND IF YOU ASK ME HOW IM LIVING I SAY THANKS IM FEELIN GRAND AND I HOPE THE SAME FOR YOU, IMA SIP A DRANK OR TWO WHILE I WATCH THE WAVES ROLL IN, I NEVER WANNA CHANGE THIS VIEW

ANANDAMIDE 04:02
ANANDAMIDE I'm back up on my rap shit wrote that with an exclamation point Still Californialive left the dispensary, let's blaze a joint Of medical or maybe try some edibles or crazy oint-ments For enjoyment so ya boy went to the shaman, praise, anoint Me with that magic oil that he made out of a flower So it came up from the soil and it gave me all this power Used to wrap my teeth in foil, fuck the haters and the cowards With my ghetto grill I said I'm iLL, my name just scream it louder Yeah I’m proud to be a stoner but it’s known that I’m a lot more I Started writing this verse walking outta the pot store Weed butter brown sugar chili pepper Potcorn The most spectacular snack if you ask and I am not torn Bought more tree than I needed for free lighters Now I’m smokin on this shit that’s called Blanka like Street Fighter Id say I’m a free writer. My day couldn’t be brighter. And my bars are extra small yoga pants couldn’t be tighter My joints look like a fuzzy green fat dude rockin a tube top Smokin last years harvest while cultivating a new crop High enough that I see the universe in a dew drop Call this Tutti Fruity make ya Wop-bop-a-loo-bop Rest In Peace to Tupac, I’m smokin on that Bomb First Blaze after a bad day, you’ll say “It could’ve gone worse” You thought I wasn’t gonna reference weed? You picked the wrong verse This was a love letter to Mary Jane but a song works - she da SWEETEST As long as my bong works and the flower is fluffy Or big doinks of the diesel that turn the sour to stuffies I might catch the munchies so bad I’ll devour a puppy Sorry I took it too far, I know in an hour you’ll love me Cuz once that edible hit you ain’t remembering shit Get an incredible lift when the ganja ember is lit Said I don’t roll those supermodel joints all slender and fit My day one fans know that The Contenders a hit So high that I look down from where we are and see a mountain top My flow just keeps on going every bar is like a fountain drop When I see the bottom of the jar you know I’m bound to cop I gotta smoke to stay amongst the stars or else my sound’ll stop I’m lying, I quit rappin and my voice echoes eternally But when I’m writing verses for certain bet that I’m burnin tree Mouth is wet from that herbal tea now I’m set for it verbally Swear it’s best just this jernt n me all respect due to Curren$y Nah it’s best when it’s her and me, I mean blazin with Bean She blows a shotgun I say I feel amazing my queen She ignites my every night and makes my days into dreams And when Mary Jane intervenes it’s all praises to green! Fuck what displays on your screen and get connected to Earth Inhale a breath of the herb and know you’re blessed from your birth Recognize your essence and purpose you’re never less than your worth Let’s get so high up in this session that all expressions are mirth Smokin in the sunshine, Gettin tan and high Unlocking my joy molecule, anandamide They say you are what you eat well then ya man is fried Unlocking my joy molecule, anandamide If I can't write the songs to right the wrongs Then let me pour you up something sturdy and light ya bongs Life goes on, aint no telling just quite how long But when your back is to the ropes I hope your fight is strong Ya see, when it comes to me, they say "He's a CONTENDER" Liquor in a red cup, trees in the blender These are the things that I need to proceed Ice cubes in my drink, no seeds in my weed

CALVIN AND HOBBES As a kid I wanted to write my own Calvin and Hobbes I've grown and learned that my concern should be a salaried job So did I let my dream just die it seems so sad and scary why and when Did I forget about my own imaginary tiger friend Right around then is when Dr Dre dropped The Chronic But I was close to beating the final level on sonic Evangelion and Usagi Yojimbo my favorite comics Star student in the classroom never needed hooked on phonics Skateboard with the fire breathing dragon on the underside Built a ramp for our bikes in the driveway yeah we gonna ride Miss the jump and hit my junk with handlebars I wanna cry But Westwood School was on the news and Now I got a ton of pride - Being in the arcade at the boardwalk was insane bruh The live performer by the door doin the Macarena Dropped my quarters in Street Fighter Im rocking Vega When I say that I’m the MAN just know I’m talkin MEGA I got this SEGA, just so I could play the VectorMan This TVs too old doesn’t have the right connector man Mom found my rap CDs she’s givin me a lecture damn Guess I’m not gettin any cash for the concession stand I Loved me some rap and punk and Used to jam the smashing pumpkins Jumping rope in the garage and tryna get my calves to pump and Thinking someday max is dunking Damn now wouldn’t that be somethin Never happened but I’m forever rappin my tracks are bumpin Back in them days when I kept it gangsta rocked baggy clothes And had the skateboard with fire comin out the dragons nose Banging on the lunch table the white boy rappin had the flows Change in couch cushions for the corner store for grab and go Phantom of the Attic yo - that’s if you be in the know Sled goin stupid crazy when we seeing the snow Wanted to be Cash Money white tee and Girbauds Freestyle for an entrance fee - believe in my flows Never needed much mo’ and somehow I still got plenty I was happy with an ice cold frosty and hot Wendy’s Maybe a grand slam breakfast if we bought Denny’s My uncles were my Hero’s never thought I woulda lost any… Jesus died at 33 like pimp c and Nipsey Seems like an age for the good to die young it’ll miss me I hope I never lose the kid in me You kiddin me? Man if I lose my inner child might as well get rid of me Sometimes i worry that my best days may be behind me When my hope is outweighed by the memories that remind me Wanted to be like Mike, not Jordan but my dad He taught me from hard work I could earn more than what I had Shopping at the TJ Maxx and can’t afford what’s in the bag Got the vacation spot my uncle moved to Florida can I brag?! You thought I started wearing chucks cuz of Wiz Khalifa? My dad been rockin them his whole life and his were cheaper Working at Finishline selling moms and kids them sneakers And All of my friends had car systems that HIT those speakers!! Flipp-ing pizzas ….at Sammy's Still I’m dreaming of Grammys Beastie Boys had the jammy At The Land with the family Metal Gear Solid was made by Konami Run it back Jerome Bettis and I never pull a hammy Had the mustache in 10th grade thought I was manly 90s boy never rocked a pack that zipped up on my Fanny So In actuality my style would be what makes you smile at me Personality, the child in me, that’s all I’m proud to be Like Freakazoid I can’t contain whatever is the wild in me The King of them Things, can’t tell me what I’m allowed to be How is he Watching Dragon Ball Z at the crack of dawn In his own world - Who in the fuck knows what max is on Elton John singing about Kings and vagabonds Chinese zodiac I had to get my dragon on Like I’m getting all my rhymes from the inside a fortune cookies veteran in the letterman I’m out here just scorching rookies And you bet the it’s under no wonder you gotta torch ya bookie Dead cursed like Fred Durst, yeah I did it all for the nookie Strike first like Cobra Kai, but don’t work for no sensei Legendary in Pittsburgh - Roberto Clemente On them days I’m down on my luck thinking I was unworthy I’m letting my brother win rocking that Iverson Jersey Vibe never dirty past 30 cleaning up in the mirror I see another grey hair showing up in my beard Reminding me that time is really never nothing to fear One day you’re here and the next one you just disappear Looking around lately and I wonder where my hunger is No wonder this guy want it as bad as when we were younger kids Used to play the cello, wishin that I stuck wit it I'm just sayin hello, hoping that you fuck wit it Rockin black and yellow gotta rep where I grew up wit it Jiggle like it's jello, two stepping in the club with it Stop drop, open up shop, back to the store Peter Pablo North Carolina practice velour Dropping facts and the lore On the wax never bore Throw it back to before, you know Max gonna score Putting up points 1988

M. ILLion DOLLA💲💰 The MUSIC got me feelin like M. ILLion DOLLA$ I got this on lock sis here’s the synopsis We only recognize real fuck who the ops is Using my third eye like a fuckin cyclops’s I drop this audio art like my pops is Can’t miss the target Aimed it shoulda shot it Hold on tight ya Claimed it and then you lost it I’m tryna work it all out the same as doin CrossFit Mind running wild and now my brain is too exhausted Got that audio cardio Max can rap for a Marathon Nipsey in a Crenshaw crip tee gotta wear it strong Flowing on forever it will never take me very long Not the Last Dance with her although it’s still a Mary song Carry on you just keep on doin what ya doin Movin and I’m groovin stayin true and I’m pursuing Every vision that I’m viewing take the past and make it new and never worry bout the future lemme ruin what I ruin See a rare opportunity then what the fuck take it That’s why I jumped in the Pacific Ocean butt naked I wear my heart on my sleeve do nothing but break it And then put it back together I know that this stuffs sacred Who got da Tito’s? I brought da Casamigos I’m twisted need some straitenin forgot to talk to Migos He wasn’t on the guest list dont know why you brought your ego Big Boss Ghostbusters 2 and we’re talking Viggo Turn the booth to an incinerator, tracks I’m blazin yo I spit it they like “Damn did you hear Max amazing flow?!” His raps are crazy yo but he lacks the praises though “But when is gon’ drop it he so lacksadaisical I know I mispronounced it but this wasn’t profound shit More a bounce that when that sound hit you wanna be around it So Gravitate I’ve had the hate noise cancellation drown it Was searching for a purpose in life and I think I found it M.ILL$ I sound good when recording but I sound great live I’m 5’8” but when I rap feel like I’m 8’5” I rip the show spittin flows do a stage dive Bounce back count racks that’s a fake lie Feel like M. ILLION but my bank accounts a lot less Look in the mirror and sometimes I see a hot mess I wrote this song for one reason and it is not stress No attitude only gratitude homie God bless

MARATHON 03:36
MARATHON I’m not running from my past I’m not running to my future I’m just running for the marathon of the moment right now Anxiety is trying me reminding me we’re all dying see I fight now but I don’t even know what to write down Whether it’s a bright smile, you grinding your teeth or trying to eat One way or another you gotta bite down Trouble sleeping every night now but it’s like WOW my songs are morning light how I bring you bright sound Im not running from my problems I’m not running from my pain I’m not running from the sadness When it’s coming down like rain I’m not running from the madness As it’s running through my brain I’m not running from a tragedy I’m running to maintain I’m not running from my demons I’m not running from my nightmares Not running from the stress though I confess it’s always right there I’m running for myself Im in a race with Max Imagination running wild Don’t wanna face the facts Embrace the black magic And chase the Jack rabbit They can never silence me, I’m the wildest G, so I gotta talk When every single bar that comes outta me is a lava rock Said I’m running and chasing the sun no this song is not a walk Came up from last place in this Max race, it is not a shock I promise yall will not know another guy that’s this ILL yo The underside of a Brillo meets other side of the pillow My brother died that was Phil yo Recovery time was a lil slow Float butterflies with this ILL flow I’m gonna shine so you will know To think of me when you think of winners Didnt have it on the menu brought my drink to dinner Hit the restroom wash my hands within the sink for sinners True my pain is a Cuban chain wish the links were thinner You gonna sink or swim or grab a board n learn how to surf Never hand outs ya man’s out here earning my worth I’m Inhaling the smoke, while we burning the earth It’s harder with a lack of water be concerned of the dearth But I believe I got the flow to save us from the drought I’m grateful for believers when the haters wanna doubt To make the most of every single days what I’m about A little bit louder now, I make you wanna shout Let it out — I hope that every line that I’m scoring is more than dope to ya Spillin quotes like the fruit fallin out of a cornucopia I Won’t be the one to deliver a boring joke to ya I’d rather GPS the directions to your utopia Open the gates and reached the promised land All I ever wanted to be was an honest man Feel like I’m treading in the water where the piranhas swam Til I throw down on the mic, strong as Giannis slam My flow breaks like snowflakes inside an ill flurry Tryna be the hip hop version of Bill Murray Sonically spicy this flavors more than a lil curry Lost my fear a long time ago but I still worry That I won’t be the man that I set out to be Sometimes I feel like jumping standing on a balcony And if I did, would your hand be reaching out for me? And If you didn’t catch me could you still be proud of me I doubt you’d be that’s why I gotta be stronger than that My power level increase every song that I rap Not sure exactly where but know I belong on the map Life is short but a legacy’s longer than that Made a mixtape to prove that my name is not a lie Can even post it on Apple Music or Spotify Spoke from the heart with no filter or need to modify Now if they ask for the ILLEST you say “I got a guy” If you do not apply pressure you can’t create a diamond If love is truly the mission then that’s a great assignment I always prayed that one day I could say I made it rhyming But if I don’t it’s okay I don’t got the greatest timing Seeing with a prophets eyes So when I philosophize Envisioning my shot to rise And topple over softer guys I line em up They drop like flies You watch it happen Not surprised Check what I hypothesized I’m serving smiles and stoppin cries I try to dodge the bull like a matador Trapped in my mind it would be nice if they could add a door Padded walls, padded ceiling and a padded floor Bringing joy and rappin more that’s all that Max is for I’m out here running and chasing after my passion more I’m out here running and chasing after my passion more I’m out here running and chasing after my passion more I see the goal line ahead of me and I have to score
