Goal: Focus on having a more objective, universal message. Keep improving rhymes, make beats
then write.\ \
1) Stream of Consciousness (80s music reprise)\ \
yeah\'85this is something i call a little stream of consciousness\
\ 0:27\
not for the radio, i hope you play me though\'85\ this is a song dedicated to the ladies oh\'85\
and the gents that know where i come from-\ know that i'm never one and done, whattup
son?\ i'm in another place\'85.i thought i'd win
the race\'85\ a real thin line crossed from love to hate\'85\
and i love to hate, whatever was at stake\'85\ that i failed and with me i have a juicy steak\'85.\
my mind's loose and it seemed like i choose to break\'85\
away from what i love and fall back\'85\ even though what i love is being all that\'85\
i'm just on my grind, this is combat\'85\ i'm serious when being delirious-\
sometimes the theory is that i turn furious-\ when i can't have what i yearn curious-\
one day it'll be my turn, i'm serious\'85.\ 1:04\
can't stop me from being conscious\'85\ properly, i try to be pompous-\
but i can't do it, i stay on the humble\ they all so stupid, they say i mumble-\
no, i'm on the bubble while i dream the obvious\'85\ i see my team winning big, they copy us\'85.\
emulated out of jealousy beyond this\'85\ just a little bit of stream of consciousness\'85\
\ 1:40\
so so close, so so far\'85\ i wish i could boast, when i go to the bar-\
but i don't need a sip, just need new ***-\ in my life where it would be in my own fist\'85\
in my hands so they know i own this\'85\ and they understand that i know where i go-\
and i flow to a place where the no-shows go-\ just wanna chill even if, i feel loso\'85\
i mean fabolous just like a capitalist-\ making money way beyond what the average is\'85\
passionate about killin it and mashin it-\ and got flair, so i put a little flash in
it-\ i get into it even with no cash in it\'85\
past every misstep, the wrong reflex-\ grasping the best way to write a song yet\'85\
fighting every battle verbally without a test----\ no hyperboles, i'm all about reality, i'm
set\'85\ look at the mercury, validity i guess\'85\
back in the day i questioned my abilities-\ that was the day i was messing with humility-\
way too much, now i'm feeling the serenity-\ dealing with the devil too hot for civility\'85\
2:35\ but really, how i could be where i dreamed?\
be at the place where i dream of a scene-\ where i get that cream people know what i
mean-\ wanna clear that rubble make the way for my
new team\'85\ i'm on the bubble while i dream the obvious\'85\
i see my team winning big, they copy us\'85.\ emulated out of jealousy beyond this\'85\
just a little bit of stream of consciousness\'85\ \
3:12\ why try to fit in with the crowd-\
if i thought aloud, i'd be taught to vow,\ not to speak up again, cuz the heat's in my
phlegm-\ spit the grease in society, turned to a gem\'85\
real life\'85i don't know what i'm doing wrong-\ i graduated but it seems like i'm moving along\'85\
gradually i'm aggravated that i lose strong\'85\ chances to be dancing with the new gong\'85\
a new drum as i head into the interlude\'85.\ i wanna make bread, ace job interviews-\
but i'm dead in my tracks, all inner moves-\ that i never made, feel like i never played-\
never raised any ruckus right on the better stage\'85\
not hating\'85but ain't nobody do it mo-better-\ i just don't manipulate like a go-getter\'85\
i give a version of me, coercion to be free-\ from immersion of the truth as a mystery\'85\
miserably, i wonder if i'll be set free-\ Yamaha jet skis, Nestea and Nestle-\
corporations don't know what's the best of me---\
for the duration, they won't ever have the best for me\'85\
how can i show it all even with clothing-\ can't try to ball with any self-loathing-\
that's how i grew up, i grew up like a screw-up-\ my momma always said that i never did it right\'85.\
it got me where i am, but forever gave me plight\'85\
forever gave me flight, and forever see the light-\
shine dim, try to balance the mind to being right---\
i'm an A-B-C, Asian born American\ can't they see my tradition is never arrogant\'85\
so i run on a stream of confidence i'm on this\'85\
you seen it all in my stream of consciousness.\ \
2) Piano Man\ \
0:05 (whisper)\ hey piano man, hey piano man, hey piano man,
are you there?\ \
0:10\ nothing like a saturday night at the jazz
club\'85\ earlier the matinee was kinda like a back
rub\'85\ to hear the pianist, practice what he'd play
that night-\ so he could clap it up like Ray that night-\
and just shine in the bright lights, this is what life's like\'85\
to give the audience your life when you're on the mic-\
the ambience is a renaissance of history\'85\ a genre that was on, back in the fifties\'85\
Charlie Parker was a barker with the saxophone\'85.\ and made it harder for the weak to be on the
throne\'85.\ the technique was amazing, physique would
be raising-\ all the ruckus when he played with fast pacing\'85\
and you can tell all the cats that are phoniest\'85\ and definitely that would not be Thelonious\'85\
he was hot with his style that was really wild\'85\
humming the tunes for a while, chilling on the aisle-\
he was willing to be different, there wasn't any difference-\
between him and any other pioneer\'85\ of music, and either way you we're flying
here\'85\ we got high off of music not the lye here\'85\
nor the weed, all i need is a tune-\ from the world-class pianist, from July to
June\'85\ i get goosebumps when i hear a piano jam\'85\
we get it crunk all thanks to the piano man\'85.\ \
hook- hey piano man, hey piano man, hey piano man, hey piano man.\
hey piano man, are you there? are you there? YES..(2x)\
\ 1:32\
nothing like a sunday night concert\'85\ where the crowd sat quiet listening no converse..\
ations hearing cool interpretations of music so amazing get a standing ovation..\
maybe it was Horowitz, maybe it was Kissin-\ we all wanting more of it, something that
we're missing-\ is hearing that Beethoven, music that was
made to win..\ a girl's heart with your ear like wait a min\'85\
and from the start he could hear everythin\'85\ even with one ear, he could hear all the fears-\
saw Chopin get it on, with Romanticism here-\ no fanaticism here, but Chopin had the best
tones-\ got it on he made it, the piano version of
Nas Jones..\ he was the greatest at, making lyricism with
the fission of his wisdom-\ buried into every rhythm\'85\
the beauty of the piece Revolutionary Etude\'85\ was evolutionary scary that it made you-\
get up off your *** hoping one day you can play that\'85\
i'm off my ***, thinking that i can make that\'85\ inspired, i caught a fire in my brain-\
and desire so insane, practiced until i drained-\ all energy left in the tank, no ammo damn-\
i got it down all thanks to the piano man\'85.\ \
hook\ \
2:53\ nothing like a night with the piano and the
mic-\ wearing camo out of sight, only reason, it
feels right-\ nobody knows that i'm capable of this-\
guess it shows in the way i'm flavorful with the word twists\'85\
it's so absurd how i learned that piano\'85.\ i learned technique but i yearned for the
ammo-\ to use it in the pure form\'85.to cure firestorms\'85\
had no desire to play all the classics\'85\ and my fire would blaze so elastic-\
fracture the wires this may turn to plastic-\ wanted to compose, but i lay composed\'85\
but then i rose, so quick like Derrick Rose\'85\ i was embarrassed over it i hope they never
air it..\ but then i learned i go nowhere if i am a
parrot\'85\ or like a ferret running on the wheel\'85\
writing raps when i was 10 i wished i could record it\'85\
and when i figured the connection out\'85\ all protection's out, you hear the *** from
my mouth\'85\ and take a hit of my music, the drug\'85\
same way perverts look for love-\ when they got a little E pill what the ***?\
what's the point if you don't know what is up?\'85.\
when time freeze, my mind's not at ease-\ finding that i sneeze from allergies from
the bees knees\'85\ on step two, but never step three, step four-\
cuz they never prep you, if you see you want more\'85\
i want more, but i lay on the floor\'85\ waiting for more, but i pace on the decor\'85\
knowing the race could be won if i wait more\'85\ and work hard till i win the award\'85\
but i try to afford, being stuck on the sword-\ but right now i can't buy a Honda Accord-\
let alone all the drama that money afford-\ so i stay in my box trying to break the allure\'85\
\ 1:04\
hook- i'm frozen in time, you're frozen in my rhymes\
i'm frozen in time, you're frozen in my rhymes\ i'm frozen in time, but i'mma break through\'85.\
i'm frozen in time, and if you're hating i'mma break you.\
\ 1:20\
so what's going on these days?\ stuck on the same day, hour, second anyway\'85\
i reckon that i killed it some\'85.\ killed every beat that i made for the dumb-\
penning real heat with the lyricism of a scholar-\ i fear the system to be biased toward ballers-\
actors, athletes, stay-at-home partiers-\ aren't a factor in the track meet for heartier-\
people\'85no love for the teachers?\ other than the pedophiles, love for the preachers?\
it took a while to hone my craft-\ before it own my ***, criticism as the gas-\
for the rocketship system i build for my blast off\'85.\
within the rhythm maybe i should take my mask off\'85\
this is rebel to the third degree--\ and if you heard of me, you know a real MC\'85\
same old G i have always been me\'85\ even if an outcast, i'm Andre, for 3G's----\
a big boy hombre, metaphor repeat\'85\ i'm in store for more, i will be re-seat\'85\
at the throne like it will be my home-\ but time froze so i'm in my home all alone-\
and with aggression i'll take this victory-\ take this history as something buried into
the kettle-\ my dream is to feel like i'm being such a
rebel----\ and i'm killing it i'm killing it! everybody
feeling it!\ can't be concealing it their joy's looking
infinite!\ 1:27 all day all night, my way, my delight-\
playing the rap game, but music's what i do for life\'85\
don't confuse it with the *** you see right-\
they full of ***, you already know they can't breathe right?-\
when i'm spitting i'm *** on those who lives are missin\'85\
they're just addicted to the dough and not the pies flipping\'85.\
whatever happened to doing it for the love-\ ya'll do it for the drugs, and all of the
above-\ but i'm all of the above, this is basically
my anti-drug\'85\ promote love, you can call me an anti-thug\'85\
so i'm bugging for the best hit of all time-\ best *** of all rhymes, best grip on my shine\'85\
\ 7) Split Personality (Conform and Rebel) (split
personality)\ \
\ 8) Destiny (novacane)\
\ yeah\'85.rebel on a mission\'85this is destiny\'85hah!\
\ 0:20\
i don't wanna be that stereotype\'85\ another Asias\
\ i go *** the mic, hard to beat like Mike-\
hard to tell that i'm spitting 'bout life, and i'm wishing plight\'85\
would go away with the waves in the ocean-\ or buried in a grave locked shut it'll never
open\'85.\ i got shot in the heart not the abdomen\'85\
when i tried to get a head start, what woulda been-\
coulda been shoulda been, goin for the win\'85.\ flowing with calm, lowering stress beyond-\
any pain, but as the saying goes, no gain\'85\ so i lost all my hair need the Rogaine\'85\
i wanna ignite the flame, so i need the propane..\ to make gain as i try to take aim-\
at the top, then i listen to the radio right?\ i wanna be more than just an Asian stereotype-\
trained as an engineer, trained to have a sense of fear-\
when the test comes near, best that i persevere-\ and make it through the odds, even if it's
a facade-\ that i know it all, maybe all it need is a
massage\'85\ a little euphemism knowing what the Asian
youth is missin..\ they're all amazing but the truth is some
are missing\'85\ a voice in the mainstream for the main team\'85\
i found my way through the stream to the main green-\
knowing that i found my way to the main green screen\'85\
but life's scary and it might make me scream\'85\ but then i dream of green in the pasture-\
no more Asian man stuck being Casper-\ being in commercials stuck being awkward-\
being more vertical *** all the clockwork\'85\ it's time we stretch the impossible\'85\
and be the best in any way possible\'85\ \
this is destiny\ \
you best put all your strength like a slow snail...\
0:27\ keys open doors, see how i'm hoping for\'85\
stop drinking haterade-\ how come when i was growing up i felt my parents
this is where i am, and i'm not only a stat-\ and i'm always up at bat, and about to make
of unemployment, will it take a long time?\'85\ to see enjoyment, maybe it's the wrong time-\
\ hook-wherever you go\'85i'll be right there.\
around for love, as we looked in the clouds-\ so beautiful above amidst the touring crowds\'85\
man-\ i'd rather, defy odds and be a rapper and\'85\
rocket out of sight\'85\ a Yao Ming brother, you never seen another\'85\
and get frequent flyer miles on digital flights\'85\ you know it's a miracle right?\
was a dream\'85it was a dream\ \
now i'm an author, scribbling sheets-\ i wake up, to solve the riddle buried in my
and turn models into ordinary people-\ on the ordinary pedestal, on no steeple-\
geniuses can see me son, and i am the meanest one\'85\
beyond the fact that i wrote this-\ up in the *** of any task hope you know this\'85\
and maybe ship a letter..through the pony express..\
and leave you all in a trance at my sold-out shows\'85\
i really don't i'll never give up any dignity-\ i don't care if they're diggin me, my heart
i came around ahead of time ahead of my prime---\ to say i made it, that won't be sharing a
but i was hesitant to get my own airwave\'85.\ now what they say i don't care about anyway\'85\
hope i find a way to let the airplane levitate-\ set it straight, right now i'm hoping for
\'85that would be deadly right? you would be very right\'85\
and they would never take a peek, i wasn't from the streets-\
scared of me-\ GOP and democrats, clearly i'm a diplomat-\
lay tight, play hip-hop on the flight-\ there's no pit stop we goin all the way tonight-\
Bruno Mars want a sky full of lighters\'85\ i just want a sky full of stars shining brighter\'85\
