Levels

Title: Levels Project: Champagne Ethos 2 Producer: Valmond Track Name: “Gully Walker” Oh they’re so many levels/ different/ Like Stormtroopers and rebels/ different/ Like the bass and the treble/ different/ Like the “one” and the “two” High level/ Low level/ Mid level/ Not on my level/ Ultimate level/ All the way up there/ God tier/ […]
Top 5

Some say only the strong survive/ And that’s cap/ because weak cats/ are still alive/ I would even argue that some of them thrive/ With that being said here is my top 5/ My number 5 is DJ Run/ this is based on impact/ In fact/ he was one of them ones/ To dress like […]

What it Means to be Black

Just Because (Re-Write)

You have to treat yourself like you matter. Because if you don’t then you don’t take care of yourself. Then you become vengeful and cruel and you take it out on the people around you and you are not a positive force. None of that is good. You suffer more and more and so does […]
Observations

Some pick a right time/ to be in the wrong place/ Some will tell a big crooked lie/ with a straight face/ Some will get punched in the head/ and won’t fight back/ Other men will experience that / and pull out a strap/ Some women will act like they ain’t getting their backs blown/ […]
The Thoughts of A Gangster 2023

My story is one of courage/ and facing fear/ introducing ideas/ concepts/ a lot of cats don’t want to hear/ My verse relates to the faithful few/ And so you understand me clear/ I never made a bragging record in my life/ but I feel compelled to share/ the-fact-that/ I feel I /rap better than […]
Legacy

We built a legacy together/ A side hustle company together/ found time to raise a family together/ friends well beyond fair weather/ Some would say we’re clever/ cause we’ve got love figured out/ Our New World order/ is to restore Order/ We go back to basics just like case quarters/ The way you […]
Thrilla In Manilla

Your standing one one side/ and fighting for one side/ sharing what’s inside/ of your heart and your soul/ But then when it comes time/ To open up your mind/ It seems as if your blind/ and out of control/ Talking and listening at the same time won’t work/ Thinking submission is a felony crime […]
Balance

Protector, provider/ Direction, decider/ I found a rider to compliment me/ Yin to my Yang/ & it’s never a thang/ to be under my wing/ & to walk beside me/ A fantasy/ to reality/ can it be/ possible/ that it was meant to be/ Destiny/ put you right next to me/ chemistry/ on every level/ […]
Grown

Rejoice in the eye of the storm/ for the storm is seasonal/ To me this sounded feasible/ My Mother told me that in 98/ When I was on the way/ to being great/ While I was looking for plates/ The ones that were loaded with steak/ Medium well/ paired with a grape/ When I was […]
What it Means to be Black

It means being the mother & father of teenagers named humanity who don’t acknowledge their parents/ It means walking through fires with bare feet/ thinking the pain felt by that journey is a bad thing/ until you see the results/ Like.. Rock & Roll/ Funk/ Jazz/ Blues/ Hip-Hop Culture/ Nina Simone’s Voice/ Sammy Davis Jr’s […]
