Origin/Meaning: Pretty Boy Ghosts is the name of a Hip-Hop and hacktivist crew from the 90's, repurposed for a modern pop punk trap group. It references the lost lives of those who were victims of the opioid epidemic, depression & suicide.
In the late 90's a group of friends from Pennsylvania got together to use Hip-Hop and computers to expose corruption and abuse in their school district. It would have made an incredible film had the rights ever been available. After nearly 3 decades, the spirit and soul of this crew has been compiled into new music.
Pretty Boy Ghosts battles against addiction, and stands for positive mental health practices like expressing pain through music.

The Unreal World
I can't take the misinformation.
Switch the station, this one's all
disinformation. Piss poor information.
Which poor are you saving?
Should I give more or save it?
Live for the statements.
Can't talk about it with family.
They'll see right through me.
You say "tell me what I think of you"
I say that's not a thing to do.
I think that we're through.
That's nothing new.
What's with the news?
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know?
I know a thing or two.
What's your proof?
What does that prove?
Does anybody know?
I know a thing or two.
If I haven't said it.
You didn't get the message.
Got gas lit so bad
saying I never sent it.
You have it right
where I left it.
That's why I left in
a hurry. I know why you're worried.
You say "tell me what I think of you"
I say that's not a thing to do.
I think that we're through.

Indecent exposure.
A new found proposal.
A modesty vogue move.
Lost in your boat shoes.
Overboard; most moves.
Yeah, dude, I know you.
Can't talk about it with family.
They'll see right through me.

Which side of the gun?
Triggered or the other one?
When it all comes down
where you gonna run?

Triggered or the other one?

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?
I'm on my own. Both of you wrong.
They say the system has some kind of center line.
And everybody falls along one or the other side.
Maybe I just come from a different time.
We need to leave this all behind.
Justice is not meant to be blind.
It is meant to be balanced, when it's not, that
is a crime. Loosely defined. Agreed upon
and justice is getting close to the divine.
Yet the first hand you move, they want to
bring you to, a decisive conclusion. When
in reality, uncertainty is beneficial if you
know how to use it. This is why they have
Senators who stay until they're pushing up
tulips, falling on the Capitol steps so often
they go into recess to replace two hips.
The whole thing is fucking stupid.
Which side are you on?

Independents still end up splitting the difference
between the fence sitters and the bed shitters.
They try to convince themselves it differs.
It doesn't. Their photographic memories dither.
That is neither here nor there.
Both parties celebrate warfare.
They both hate giving you more air.
Backsides raw hide always sore there.
You know what they call it up there, right?
They call it getting the banana in the tailpipe.
Clog you up with all that real tight.
Until you don't even know what you feel like.
Then you forget it don't even feel right.
Arguing over nothing as if it's real life.
They keep you slowly bleeding never heal right.
But you know that what it is is real, right?

Lost at sea.
Piracy.
This means
nothing to me.
I'm confused.
Don't know what

Like a visionary monk.
Cross my heart.
Hope to fly.
Open up.
Lost at sea.

Starving for more.
Fast food. Ask who?
Life's hard.
Laugh right through.
Mask's tight, too.
Air tight alibis.
I'm confused.
Don't know what

I'm kinda reckless.
You're pretty smart.
I think if we stick together
we'll go far.
If we don't make it.
I could't take it.
I can't shake this
feeling that I'm hating.
We're no longer waiting.
But do we want the same things.
That would be amazing.
But maybe...
I'm kinda reckless.
You're pretty smart.
I think if we stick together
we'll go far.
Leave if it's over. I know you're
tryin' to be the better person.
That's just not how it's
really workin'.
I'm kinda reckless.
You're pretty smart.
I think if we stick together
we'll go far.
You can figure this out can't you?
At this point I can't stand you.
I won't demand you
do or don't.
You will or won't.
Give up and go.
Lift up your toes.
Each foot below.
I'm kinda reckless.
You're pretty smart.
So I know what you mean.
It's the end of the dream.
Decoding the misery.
No longer a mystery.
You weren't diggin' me.
Just not that into me.
If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have
no stories about good and evil.
I shouldn't lead with the sequel.
We ended up different people.
I told you a million times to stop
takin' me too literally.
Now you gotta use a thousand words
just to picture me.
I told you a million times to stop

Now you gotta use a thousand words

Forgettin' when you said that we're good.
Instead I'm grabbin' another rabbit's foot.
Let me tell you a story about how we're cooked.
Lost my appetite drunk in the breakfast nook.
If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have
stories to tell about good and evil.
I shouldn't lead with the sequel.

Forecast is bad, a hurricane looms.
Cocooned in a land of impending doom.
Sweep away sand with a never ending broom, locked in a sad therapists waiting room. Tomb of the unknown soldier soon will replace the exchange of an incredible boom.
Bombs over Bagdad, and Palestine too.
Calm and then mad, in a hive mind stew.
Alone in the chaos.
Eye of the storm.
At home they prey on us
children of the porn.
Dine and ditch.
Scratch the silent itch.
The truth is not a bitch.
It's just this...
Dine and ditch.
The food for thought here stinks.
The truth? She's not a bitch.
It's justice.
The weathermen are not the object.
This indiscretion is not the offense.
These words are all just nonsense.
Just a distraction while the bomb's sent.
Smell that? That's the bomb's stench.
It leaves no leaves, and an odd scent.
We give it all we got till we got nothing left.
We give it all we got till we got nothing...
It keeps time perfectly.
Deservedly so.
Observing me.
Searching me.
It works for me.
Spies get paid well.
This won't age well.
They fell.
Click clock.
Tick tock.
Pish posh.
Your loss.
This time piece.
It's my peace.
Keeps my head on straight.
Makes sure I'm not late.
My mind is a steel trap.
They wanna steal that.
Oh they don't feel that?
I know, they don't feel bad.
They're not stopping me.
I do what the stop
watches see.
I'ma leave...
Click clock.
Tick tock.
Pish posh.
Your loss.
This time piece.
It's my peace.
Keeps my head on straight.
Makes sure I'm not late.
Who taught me everything?
I know. Who taught me
everything I know?
I don't...
Remember? It's all gone.
This is all wrong.
Time's up.
Time to run.
Click clock.
Tick tock.

Keeps my head on straight.

Party loud. We out here.
Party loud. Let's get weird.
Take your hands off the wheel.
For real...
Party loud. We out here.
Party loud.
Talkin' crazy, we got big personalities.
Last time we turned up this is how it
turned out for me. Got locked out of
my house without the keys. The cops
picked me up for public indecency. I
guess all around that party turned out
decently. Long time no see, I mean
what ya'll been up to recently?!
Party loud. We out here.

Take your hands off the wheel.

So now smoke this blunt to the face.

Had a lot of friends back in high school.
They used to think I'm cool.
Sold the jocks their weed and mushrooms.
I coulda played ball too if I'd wanted to.
I coulda done it all. Now I'm not gonna
run at all because I'm too blunted dude.
Still, like the 1's and 2's I keep it on the move.
Now these boobs watch me on YouTube.
Watch & learn while I earn
millions off this rap shit.
Talk & churn heils. Turns
into "we had hims."
You never had me. You never had me.
Don't fuckin' at me. That shit is tacky.
I don't need this half assed scene.
Full of lames tryna back stab me.
You never had me.
Don't fuckin' at me.
You never had me.
You never had me.
Got no friends it's all good I'm chillin.
They all turned me into the villain.
They don't compliment me like it'd kill them.
For all the mind they paid me I should bill em'.
Watch & learn while I earn
millions off this rap shit.
Talk & churn heils. Turns
into "we had hims."
You never had me. You never had me.
Don't fuckin' at me. That shit is tacky.
I don't need this half assed scene.
Full of lames tryna back stab me.
You never had me.
Don't fuckin' at me.
You never had me.
You never had me.
Gotta be thankful for what I got first.
It could be worse, like a lot worse.
The rule of 3 and these desk clerks.
They don't know how revenge works.
I got mine. My luck changed. Hell yeah.
Now I don't care what you tell them.
I got nothing left to sell them.
They can go to hell then.
Watch & learn while I earn
millions off this rap shit.
Talk & churn heils. Turns
into "we had hims."
You never had me. You never had me.
Don't fuckin' at me. That shit is tacky.

Living in the unreal world.
This is life living in the unreal world.
This is like living. Like living is
living in the unreal world.
Things never go according to plan.
Unless chaos is what you had
in mind. In time you might laugh. It
isn't funny but some people like that.
Some people hype that. Midnight have
a panic attack unable to fight that. Other
people might have second thoughts for
a couple years about what to write back.
Living in the unreal world.
This is life living in the unreal world.
This is like living. Like living is
living in the unreal world.
Can't breath from the fumes of your gaslight.
You killing the vibe instead of trying to match mine.
Be a little bit and then act fine.
Overreact and cross the line.
Living in the unreal world.
This is life living in the unreal world.
This is like living. Like living is
living in the unreal world.
Stop planning so much, but schedule it in.
All you're doing is overthinking the consequence.
Overcompensating for a lack of honestness
never brings about a modest event.
Living in the unreal world.
This is life living in the unreal world.
This is like living. Like living is
living in the unreal world.
Rip up the pages. Delete the texts.
Keep up with the Joneses for a repeat offense.
Never seem to do the things I recommend.
Yet always quick to beg for forgiveness.
Living in the unreal world.
This is life living in the unreal world.
This is like living. Like living is
living in the unreal world.
Living in the unreal world.
This is life living in the unreal world.
This is like living. Like living is
living in the unreal world.
The unreal world.
This is like living in the unreal world.
This is like living.
This is like...
living...
in the unreal world.

Trials by fire, I walk across barefoot.
We stick together no matter how far we're pushed.
We're good, locked in like a roller coaster.
If I cross a line tell me how far I went over.
Baptized by hell fire and brimstone.
Stop pretending like "we'll never know."
We know now, so no, I won't slow down.
I'mma tell you what it is - as it goes down.
I learn best by trial and error
confess the rest later
you think you're so clever
I just wish you ever learned better

Music is a constant in my life, style fresher.
That's why I don't stick around for your lectures.
You remember fabricated treachery forever.
Keep it brief like testamentary letters.
You wanna scam the state out of whatever?
Depends on how done you wanna get er'.
This is just death and taxes in every measure.
I just wish you ever learned better.

No one made you do this.
If you want I could prove it.
Here, do this...
Do this...
Stop being the judge, jury, and prosecutor.
Defendant and all others rise for the future.
Verdict is we in trouble like deep seas.
Crystal ball palm reading the tea leaves.
Each scene is a vignette. Give and get.
Live and let. Never forget.
Your argument is basic and bullshit.
I don't know who you think you're foolin.

Cash advances. No clear ledger.
When you ask they "don't remember."
As our parents they should've know better.
Uncle Sam made them a bad lender.
We got career paths saying "do not enter."
All we're looking for was acceptance - letters.
Bad lenders. Should have returned to sender.
Go figure...
Treated us like we're illegal tender.
Needed more of a cosmic defender.
I'm all action jackson now and I'm clever
like Jackson Brown and The Pretender.
Didn't want college. Thought it's not important.
Knowing my parents, I also can't afford it.
Distortions like proportions & who gets more of it.
We got student loans, they got second mortgages.
Cash advances. No clear ledger.

Go figure...
Mine waited to tell me. Graduation day.
Instantly felt pain. Strange. Come what may.
Arguments cloaked in daggers lighting flames.
Twenty five percent of people are estranged.
Death beds or keeping it to themselves till they're 100.
On the winning side though, they fucking love it.
It stops once you say you've had enough of it.
Even if they won't hear you out - something ends.
Cash advances. No clear ledger.

Go figure...
Head of the class. I passed. I don't know everything.
I do know how to upset the king. Heads of my
enemies on spikes like a gladiator thing.
Using sentiment analysis from a Vader chain.
Go figure...
No figures.
Oh shit you're
serious?
Cash advances. No clear ledger.

Mullet! They yelled at me as they pulled it.
Honestly, at first, I didn't know what it even is.
Bullies. Hated themselves more than me, fully.
Just remembering some childhood bullshit.
Kids on the bus called me names. Played games
without me at recess. I turned out okay I guess.
I was not raised as much as left.
Treated like a bond that ain't matured yet.
Told to hold onto sums of income to invest.
Learned the hard way not to do hard drugs
in excess. You whole dogma is all that I reject.
Positive mental attitude gave me my success.
I grew. You...
stayed the same. You stayed the same.
I knew. You don't have to
don't have to say. You stayed the same.
Had a pony tail during a little rough patch.
Living in a hotel turned into our little love nest.
Powdered eggs every day we'd have for breakfast.
Fucked up our whole lives but still had good sex.
No gold teeth, just 90's yellow for wear and tear.
I still think about growin' back my mullet here & there.
I grew. You...
stayed the same. You stayed the same.
I knew. You don't have to
don't have to say. You stayed the same.
Mullet...
Mullet...

"Get a job. Just like I did."
I swear as long as I live.
"This is how it was when I was a kid."
Nothing ever stays as it is.
Advice from the least qualified.
Is not a smart way to live your life.
I should honor my parents by my father's side.
But he has no honor I think about it all the time.
Maybe I'm nothing like my mother.
She's never satisfied, like her brother.
Black sheep get better treatment than me.
A family of thieves they all deserve each other.
"Get lost, you aren't my kid."
They swear, and I hid.
"This is how it is." No it isn't.
Things change. I just did.
Sacrifices are a part of it.
So is realizing who started it.
They ought to be charged for how they were
charging it. Delaying all the payments.
Now we read the statements. Wondering how
we gonna pay for it? They almost get giddy
waiting to tell you that this part's their
favorite.

Do your - best - you are the worst.
Your generation made the state into a church.
Do your - best - you are the worst.
Stop trying to tell us all that it works.
Ask me, I, think Gen Y is a better descriptor.
More like wondering if there are spoils who's the victor?
I used work by hour developing these pictures.
Of boomers all wanting to be Hannibal Lector.
Our parents think they're better than us.
They act like they never had love.
Millennials were born with very bad luck. But the
next generation needs our help to clean it back up.
They got up then drove in their cars, and then parked.
Sat idle filling our air all full of exhaust.
Said we're entitled and don't know the cost.
All to cover up the fact all their causes are lost.
Do your - best - you are the worst.
Your generation made the state into a church.
Do your - best - you are the worst.
Stop trying to tell us all that it works.
Do your - best - you are the worst.
Your generation saved the last for the first.
Do your - best - you are the worst.
Stop trying to tell us all that it works.
We got high electricity, unstable housing, fake pandemics.
Insurance that doesn't even cover the cost of paramedics.
Poison in the food that makes us diabetic.
It only continues if you let it.
Do your - best - you are the worst.
Your generation made the state into a church.
Do your - best - you are the worst.

Stop trying to tell us all that it works.
We could get passed it, but they don't apologize.
They just want to water board us feeding lots of lies.
If you have been paying attention it's not a surprise.
This class war is just one with a generational divide.
Do your - best - you are the worst.
Your generation made the state into a church.
Do your - best - you are the worst.
Stop trying to tell us all that it works.

You gotta grow up.
I know this isn't ideal.
...
Is our life real?
Are we alone? Like in the universe?
Where else can we go? Could be worse.
Nowhere. So here, let's make the most of it.
Who knows, we might learn how to love it.
Is a spot free? Luckily. File in line.
Just in time. It could be fine.
Will we sleep a wink on the first night?
Stayin' warm with I O U's stacked up, right.
Car camping, and getting it all back.
Pretty sure I watched some videos on that.
Say goodbye to our old life. I know, right?
There's a lot of things that we won't like.
Below freezing point. All our family and
friends act like we had another choice.
I know you wanna cry but baby, fight that.
Stay here under covers I'll be right back.
That rest stop was a respite. We didn't live
our lives the way the rest did. You don't say?
War torn, and battle tested. Well rested.
It turned out to be the best sleep we had in days.
Make it back. We gotta make it back.
Been out all day, so drained.
Gotta make it back. Make it back.
Make it back.
We gotta make it back. Make it back.
Been out all night, so tired.
Gotta make it back. Make it back.
Make it back.
Thanks for all the cash you got us, babe.
Sold all our shit on Facebook marketplace.
In the beginning it started out great.
I used to love goin' out and stayin' out late.
Now I know our old spot got a hot date.
Gotta make it back how long will it take?
Got robbed in a park what a sorry state.
Homeboy had less than I did, so okay.
This rest stop is a respite.
We didn't live our lives the way the rest did.
Somehow or another we got well rested.
War torn, and battle tested.
Make it back. We gotta make it back.
Been out all day, so drained.
Gotta make it back. Make it back.
Make it back.
We gotta make it back. Make it back.
Been out all night, so tired.
Gotta make it back. Make it back.
Make it back.
I don't know what else to say.
I knew we'd make it out one day.
Most people never make it out the trap.
Looking back, I knew we'd make it back.
Make it back. We gotta make it back.
Been out all day, so drained.
Gotta make it back. Make it back.
Make it back.
We gotta make it back. Make it back.
Been out all night, so tired.
Gotta make it back. Make it back.
Make it back.
Sit down. Kick back. Telling you a little
about when I was a kid, and - I can't
believe we did that. It has - made me
thankful it didn't kill me just made me crazy.
Rest. In pieces.
Tests. Are easy.
Life isn't really designed.
That's what I find.
Get. The pieces.
Left. Are these them?
Life is a really good time.
Now you gotta live without mine.
As sophomores things got more clear.
Started losing everything I held dear.
Back of the class - clown got called weird.
It got a little easier to hear each year.
Sixteen. No candles.
So young you can't handle.
Can't deal. The good die
trying to live the good life.
Rest. In pieces.
Tests. Are easy.
Life isn't really designed.
That's what I find.
Get. The pieces.

Life is a really good time.
Now you gotta live without mine.
You wouldn't hit a guy in glasses would ya?
The guy who passed all his classes.
Could ya pass the remote? That was a
close call, as far as close calls go. I'll tell you something most don't know. Most won't go far enough to get so. Some truths are less known. Others are dime a dozen.
Growing up I was told I was nothing.
Sit down. Kick back. Telling you a little
about when I was a kid, and - I can't
believe we did that. It has - made me
thankful it didn't kill me just made me crazy.
Cultivated a resistance to hatred so you can save it. Or bestow it upon me. It just lets me know that you want me. Memories that haunt me have a way of getting released.
A picture's worth a thousand words but talk is cheap. What kind of calculus is needed?
The makes strong men sheepish. Secrets told to me from the grave in case I need it.
Rest. In pieces.
Tests. Are easy.
Life isn't really designed.
That's what I find.
Get. The pieces.
Left. Are these them?
Life is a really good time.
Now you gotta live without mine.
Rest. In pieces.
In pieces.
Rest.
Yeah...I don't think you get it...
Forget it...
Pretend

Cover ups all covered in the latest publications.
News stations carry the same crap across the nation.
No difference between them. Left or right.
Fox M S N B C or C N N they love fights.
If it bleeds it leads to sell magazines.
Yet nowadays everything flashes on your screen.
You get distance, thinking that you're clean. But

No more information. Mental constipation.
You think you know some shit but can't even face it.
Face the Nation, Meet the Press, or any podcast.
Whatever the fuck those are they are not facts.
Real news or fake news it's all hot trash.
Cut from the same cloth, and all that.
Their Creed has a credo but you don't want that.
Government health insurance pays for the Godsmack.
Glass Jaw or Paul Wall? Everything is anything

To understand that, you gotta go to war.

What should I repeat? My mistakes? Never me.
How about a dope hook so they remember me.
Very Meta, yeah but that's never me. Better me

Better me than you - at this rock shit.

Paper...plate...
One of those.
Under my nose.
Paper. Plate.
Spite your face.
Paper plate.
Hate. Don't hate.
Paper plate.
Hate. Don't hate.
Paper planes crash into paper cranes.
Paper tigers claw out your brain.
Art supplies provided by the district.
Yarn. Markers. Googley eyes with it.
Faces made. Second grade children.
If my parents hear this it would kill them.
Fill them with pride? They have plenty.
Things of mine? I don't have any.
Just memories of camps where they sent me just to resent me. Present me
as an accomplishment of theirs.
Presented with joy and wonder.
Enjoyed time alone in Summer.
Under cover bummer.
One of those.
Under my nose.
Paper. Plate.
Spite your face.
Paper plate.

Fondness for the framing not the naming of grievances. Who controls the narrative the childless or the parented? All the angles require sets of parenthesis to ensure the right emphasis. Differences of interpretation made me a heretic. Verified.
Authentication not required.

They don't want us around. Runnin' us ragged.
My drift causes rifts. No one can catch it.
This parking spot's legit, so I grabbed it.
The bags we grabbed got our whole life packed in.
They tried to take my name, so, now I tag it.
Our life is like Survivor, now, I'm outlastin'.
Eatin' fewer meals - make you feel the hunger.
Sleepin' in the trunk - you can feel the thunder.
Lockin' up, on our air mattress, hey...
sometimes shit happens.
Once your breath gets taken away...
gotta get some air back in.
I can't believe this. This happened. (this happened?)
I think I can still hear them all laughin'. (that's it...)
Fuck it, I knew I wasn't - overreactin'.
That's it...
Every morning's rocky. The road is slick.
Fuck payin' tolls today. We broke as shit.
Enough money for food, and another shift.
Dark times calls for us gettin' lit.
Every evening choppy. Every little bit.
No one wants to talk to me. I'm in a pinch.
It's times like this they say life's a bitch.
Times like these I wonder if I'm missed.
I can't believe this. This happened. (this happened?)

No one followed me it was freakish.
They got me to speak just to leak it.
We all used to party smoking weed yet
Droppin' D made em' dream less.
Droppin' D. That would be a lot for me.
Let's not be thankless for what we
got to be. Lost in the memory.
Droppin' D. Droppin' D.
Some took it more literally. Foolishly.
Finding a vein. Detuning.
Droppin' D. That would be a lot for me.
Let's not be thankless for what we
got to be. Lost in the memory.
Droppin' D. Droppin' D.
We all played guitar a little differently.
I always felt like I was in little league.
Droppin' D. That would be a lot for me.
Let's not be thankless for what we
got to be. Lost in the memory.
Droppin' D. Droppin' D.
Everything sounds better when
you write loops that never end.
Turns out the ones who are left
and me - we - were never friends.
No one followed me it was freakish.

These duct tape pants never fit right.
They never fit right. Never felt right.
I can't even tell you what it felt like.
Straight jackets getting so uptight.
Throw it all away.
Thinking back and laughing about all that happened.
Middle school dances. Learning what romance is.
Breakdancing, my crew, winning championships.
Breaking down all of our relationships.
Forgetting memories we can't make again.
What happened to all my friends?
I miss them from time to time, I do, God.
But I also know we can't stick together, gotta move on.
These duct tape pants never fit right.
They never fit right. Never felt right.
I can't even tell you what it felt like.
Straight jackets getting so uptight.
Throw it all away.
Rolling through old stomping grounds.
Going over all we found.
Ripping at the seams.
Drifting into streams.
These duct tape pants never fit right.
They never fit right. Never felt right.
I can't even tell you what it felt like.
Straight jackets getting so uptight.
Throw it all away.
Consciousness is lost
on no conscience.
Honestness has costs
and a consequence.
They got caught not
living up to this.
Throwing the baby out with
bath water still on the fence.
These duct tape pants never fit right.
They never fit right. Never felt right.
I can't even tell you what it felt like.
Straight jackets getting so uptight.
Throw it all away.
You can't fix what you don't have.
Just like me in these duct tape pants.
You can give what will not last.
But don't take if you don't ask.
If it hurts then you could laugh.
Just like me in these duct tape pants.
These duct tape pants never fit right.
They never fit right. Never felt right.
I can't even tell you what it felt like.
Straight jackets getting so uptight.
Throw it all away.
Throw it all away.
Throw it all away.
Never fit in. The fix is in.
Never fit in.
Never fit in. The fix is in.
Never fit in...

Grief Streams
Dear W M G.
This is what'll happen
if you execs fuck with me.
I'm a problem. I don't give up.
Your stock would get lit up.
Investigations and shit, bruh.
I'm talkin' government payola.
Some board members' heads would roll up.
I will find your vulnerabilities.
Use all my abilities. Agility.
No civility. You diggin' me?
I know you're listening.
I got respect for Meek, T.I. and Missy.
But ya'll put out Drake & Diddy.
I got no footage like fifty.
But I'm lettin' ya'll know you iffy.
Which Warner Brother dick did
Drake suck to get on?
He ain't never been hot, bitch.
Just got gassed up and they left
the stove on. Bro's gone. I mean
it's been 10 years since I heard a song
the hood liked. Just garbage music.
I heard that migga Jewish.
Makes sense, he always Jewin' em' down.
In court actin' like the I D F now.
How Drake act, migga? Got me wonderin'
is Drake even fuckin' black, migga?
I know I know I know, I shouldn't start.
He already got fucked by diddy so scarred.
Ol' Jimmy in the wheel chair from
gettin' fucked in the ass too hard.
I'm sure some of your artists are the shit.
But we never heard from them. They get nixed.
At Warner H Q they got all my
Suno tracks on blast. Ya'll coulda heard
em' if you'd just asked. Instead you scared
cuz ya'll makin' nothin' but hot trash.
Pop trash. Hip-hop trash. Recyclced hits.
Slop. Ass. Cock. Back. Grip.
No hook in this. I could write a book with this.
Just leave it alone or I'll torch your business.
Start to finish. Your artists can't get with
the science and how I did it. Too stupid.
Do music. Suno I use it.
Platform rules abusive.
Insider traitors could share a cell.
So check yourself before I wreck the help.
Sincerely, the one you destroyed nearly.
The one you fear dearly.
Edged Out Records mother fucker!
We shouldn't be fighting.
You're nothing like me.
That's why you don't like me.
Alrighty...
I had stickers like "mean people suck. "
Now everybody hates my guts.
I blew up, and you had beef.
Lying through your teeth.
You're fake as fuck.
All that shit you talked about me
You made it up.
You're fake as fuck.
You're fake as fuck.
That's what's up.
You're fake as
fuck.
I knew you once, or thought I did.
Those glory days, I don't miss.
When we were little kids
I told you I'd make it big.
It took a little longer I know that.
Had to survive all the blow back.
Goin' balls to the wall like gonads.
While you gave up like my old man.
I had stickers like "mean people suck. "
Now everybody hates my guts.
I blew up, and you had beef.
Lying through your teeth.
You're fake as fuck.
All that shit you talked about me
You made it up.
You're fake as fuck.
You're fake as fuck.
That's what's up.
You're fake as
fuck.
You doubted me on all accounts.
Told me I had to watch my mouth.
I told you just to "watch out."
My act? You can't clean it up.
I don't even need you, bruh.
I don't wanna meet you, bruh.
This is where I leave you, bruh.
Good luck...

Role models? I think we alone.
Leave the whole bottle full till tomorrow.
Go full throttle but gotta make it home.
Role model? You gotta be your own.
Must be tough being so deep in denial.
Keepin' tabs on me with these files.
Creepy eyes on, I don't need to be spied on.
You a dick so you should prolly be lied on.
Listen Ry'on; I know you practically suicidal
over the fact i got such a unique style.
If you want you can debate just wars
fightin' with lives when they're not yours.
Look who they want you to look up to.
Comin' up short in every way.
Raise your middle fingers & say "fuck you"
and help me eject them from the game.
Role models? I think we alone.

Pre-roll ads got the whole world on stop, start.
Kids all waitin' on the hottest rappers to drop bars.
Ya'll gotta stop idolizing these pop stars
they only think they hot cuz they sweet as pop tarts.
Your old stomping grounds are not far.
I could stop by some time be in your back yard.
Help you find that moral compass since you lost yours.
You won a little battle but you just lost more.

So your favorite band is only aight to me.
Especially since I know they don't like me.
Always the bigger person, that's my legacy.
About to be the biggest thing in recent memory.
Remember that when they say I'm the enemy.
No role models left you are who you need to be.

I know this life can be lonely.
But lil' bro we gotta keep on going.
What kinda friends are these only
demonizing you when you coping?
I should back up & start slowly.
Because I never knew you & you don't know me.
It's just I feel like you were one of my homies
that I lost along the way to a fuckin' O D.
I know this life can be lonely.
But lil' bro we gotta keep on going.
What kinda friends are these only

Yeah I guess I'm unc now, a fuckin' O G.
With a score to settle like a fuckin' goalie.
With nothin' but the spirit left to show me.
This is just a stream of consciousness mostly.
Seemed like a kind soul, but how would I know?
Couldn't beat the habit - seemed like you were tryin' though.
Did anybody ever tell you everything's fine, bro?
Or did you have too many rat faced boys with coke lined nose?
Some people use to have a good time, though
most people use because they don't find hope.
Never had a mentor mine were all heathens.
Doin' the worst things for no reasons.

Outside forces can take your peace.
Facin' the music's supposed to be some type of release.
They got you signed early way back in 17.
Big label energy had you livin' the dream.
Sad to say it this way cuz your art moved
but for somebody offing you was a smart move.
What'd Colson say when you told him about the
Yellow card suit?
I saw he mourned online but probably should

Who gave T M Z that false depiction?
Description of you tryna kick your prescription addiction.
Who told you the truth? Who sold you the fiction?
Who really chopped it up and who was just mincin?
Were you too young to even tell the difference?
Either way, R I P Higgins.
Resist their temptations and hold onto the vision.
Sometimes people wait till you gone to really listen.
You break somethin' they come help and fix it.
Get you a new phone and keep it unlisted.
Take empty threats they made & twist it.
Catchin' you whenever you slippin.
Got you wishin' somebody would just pay you a visit.
Catchin' up ain't the same when they always trippin.
Executives pretend to care but then they switch it.
Get you to go too far and then pretend they didn't.
Then you gone, and everybody says they missin' them.
Hearin' from females who woulda misses'd them.
I wonder about what kinda cat fish messaged them.
Sextorted until another young rapper dead again.
Another mourning mother sad again.
Another generation mad again.

I hated Drake when he first came out to be honest.
I'd have more respect if he just came out the closet.
So many bars glorifying violence it'd be disarming
if he ever popped off without the Canadian army.
Which handler should I address? About how you got
Top dawg to tuck that pic of you in a dress?
Money gettin' light - this Canuck lost it.
Drake's starved for the attention U M G bought him.
Attention inflated by bots they got on Twitter.
YouTube commentary, influencers aren't very. It's a
shame ya'll both think you came from the bottom.
When from the top down your fame is such a problem.
It's not the numbers or the money.
It's the fraud that got ya'll on.
It's not the women or the jewelree.
It's that bots are all yous got.
It's not the numbers or the money.
It's the fraud that got ya'll on.
It's not the women or the jewelree.
It's that bots are all yous got.
Good kid, mad city was a masterpiece.
But I wrote Cry Together on the Philly streets.
I worked for peace, it's fine you never heard of me.
But I'm the revolutionary you pretend to be.
You watched gangsters do real shit as a child.
I was mid-thirties just startin' to get wild.
Gettin' chased by cops fighting real corruption.
You just play the part at the black tie functions.
Kendrick was a fan of Drake, lookin' up to dude.
In fact I'm pretty sure he used to fuck with dude.
Drake said he put him in the friend zone right?
No one ever mentioned that again, though. Why?
Drake pretends to be a black guy or something
denying his other half like his wife's nothing.
2 Rounds Mr. Duckworth, 2 Rounds Mr. Graham.
Sounds like legal battle between old white men.
It's not the numbers or the money.
It's the fraud that got ya'll on.
It's not the women or the jewelree.

How could I diss a man whose whole life is trite?
You all bark, no bite. All bars got a ghost write.
You already washed so I kinda feel, this might
have been a post mortem no one wants to hear.
Culture vulture I see you from the rear wheel.
I'm an American patriot boy - the real deal.
I don't need to know you to know you been weird.
Maple leaf type faggots don't appear out of thin air.
Attention inflated by bots they got on Twitter
YouTube commentary, influencers aren't very. It's a
shame ya'll both think you came from the bottom
when from the top down your fame is a problem.
It's not the numbers or the money.
It's the fraud that got ya'll on.
It's not the women or the jewelree.
It's that bots are all yous got.
It's not the numbers or the money.
It's the fraud that got ya'll on.
It's not the women or the jewelree.
It's that bots are all yous got.
Who cares if they're both suckin' dick?
How much ya'll get charged by the publicists?
I heard about that lil' beef ya'll got into.
I missed it in 24 but now I'm in the loop.
Drake's an actor, playin' characters in the booth.
Yeah I used A I but he cloned Snoop & Tupac too.
That's some creepy ass shit I would never do.
He can't outrun process servers in his coop.
Drake a typa freak like Diddy - beyond gay.
I know you can't see it yourself - drugs in the way.
K dot might not know The Dot you think you king of.
But I'll be Organic right now and bring it up.
We gon' clean you up, put you in your whole place.
An asshole with no grace. No salvation learnin' the
hard way. Leave it alone, put those bars away.
Take that fuckin' mirror down like Bishop Brigante.
Got no heat for your kids - that would be uncouth.
Plus from what I hear C P S is comin' soon.
It's not the numbers or the money.
It's the fraud that got ya'll on.
It's not the women or the jewelree.

Only One Way Away and it's a Rough Landing, Holly.
Yellowcard gonna wanna sue me for this, prolly.
How I Go is about how you'll Sing For Me, screaming.
You bitches never Got Yours, you still Breathing.
You start shit but I finish what was started.
I'm gonna Hang You Up in an Empty Apartment.
No use Fighting, I will Light Up the Sky
You tried to kill me but Here I Am Alive.
I'm a master of subliminal messaging, alright?
So I know what you were doing with Holly Wood Died.
If I do this, I'll never be let in ya'll little clubs.
But we ain't like-minded and don't do the same drugs.
What? Nobody told you that we don't give a fuck?
No one in the industry got integrity but us.
Ya'll can't keep up. Shoulda never given heat to us.
Ya cars gettin' key'd up. Records gettin' beat up.
You didn't stockpile songs you wrote about the new world.
You couldn't handle a little competition from juice world.
Only One Way Away and it's a Rough Landing, Holly.
Yellowcard gonna wanna sue me for this, prolly.
How I Go is about how you'll Sing For Me, screaming.
You bitches never Got Yours, you still Breathing.

You tried to kill me but Here I Am Alive.
Please, the whole pop punk scene's a fuckin' joke.
Penalty flags for plenty you fags who can't take this smoke.
Your violin player was a gimmick no one else wanted, bro.
How come ya'll never throw Yellowcards when Ryan Key'd up on coke?
Yellowcard couldn't finish their stupid record, proof
they never really had juice. I'll be gettin' even soon.
They stole time from Travis Barker givin' him the loot.
Ryan Key? How can he be if's always outta tunes?
I think your whole vibe is really vile.
Acting like you created the genre, shit is really wild.
Democratic party rank & file, in thankless denial.
Tryna push me into the streets, already in exile.
I'm makin' moves, I know you fuckin' hate it dude.
I'm diggin' a grave and I'ma make it shallower than you.
Your V C money don't concern me, it's not savin' you.
Your career's peak was contract drumming from Blink 182.
Yellowcard's last album was type trash, no one liked that.
A bunch of entitlted white brats, who don't like rap.
Your hiatus was short-lived, you should go right back.
A bunch of brainwashed nazi rats who don't like facts.
Low key, Ry Ry needed the Blurned Lines lawyer to defend him
filing frivilous lawsuits to cover up bad fan retention.
You suffer from white privledge bitch, not depression.
Only dropped the juice suit when everyone found it offensive.
Did I make myself clear or don't you get the message?
You will Burn in hell - you get no View From Heaven.
Only One Way Away and it's a Rough Landing, Holly.
Yellowcard gonna wanna sue me for this, prolly.
How I Go is about how you'll Sing For Me, screaming.
You bitches never Got Yours, you still Breathing.
You start shit but I finish what was started.
I'm gonna Hang You Up in an Empty Apartment.
No use Fighting, I will Light Up the Sky
You tried to kill me but Here I Am Alive.
This drama you couldn't avoid. Next time do better boys.
Ya'll playin' the same racket, not Better Noise.
From Ashes To New artists with mad pull.
Cory Marks the spot - I was raised by Bad Wolves.
Five Finger Death Punch, you're not avoiding it.
In This Moment, I want Nothing More than The Funeral Portrait.
Some of ya'll gotta changed your names instead.
I'll merk all you bands except Dirty Heads.
Sabaton and The Rasmus? I don't know what the fuck
that means but, The Hu the fuck are you to judge us?
Shut up and help clean the blood up. Back up.
Is that what made it The RED Jumpsuit Apparatus?
I'll take Solence in your silence - fuckin' liars.
Everybody blame Ryan Key for why Eva Under Fire.
The Retaliators? That's my kinda revenge, now.
Finger Eleven? Sounds like Drake & Dear Bobbie Brown.
Only One Way Away and it's a Rough Landing, Holly.
Yellowcard gonna wanna sue me for this, prolly.
How I Go is about how you'll Sing For Me, screaming.
You bitches never Got Yours, you still Breathing.

No use Fighting, I will Light Up the Sky
You tried to kill me but Here I Am Alive.
I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you.
How suing a dead man didn't seem wrong to you.
These Gifts & Curses aren't all for you.
But now I'll make more money off your own songs than you.
Vigilante dynamism that's the lane for me.
This is really happening. No I will not leave.
I'ma murder this band's career and get good sleep.
The last song Ryan Key ever hears will be Lucid Dreams.
Everyone heard your struggles.
Cuz, you tellin' em' all your troubles
over beats till you slapped in court and get muzzled.
That's why you start takin' so much that you mumble.
Droppin' all those lil' footballs till you fumble.
Thinkin' you got it cuz you grown but you a young bull.
Gum shoe detective work get ya tongue pulled.
Till somebody bang on you like a drum roll.
Gettin' paranoid, but you rightfully so.
Times like this move frighteningly slow.
Thinkin' back like you mighta shoulda known.
But they are masters of disaster you know.
Don't see they get cooked - how they bakin' em.
Didn't see blood on their hands as you shakin' em.
They makin' that sweet cream
sellin' lies like believe in your dreams.
Set their sights you don't feel the lazer beams.
Gettin' paid offa grief streams.
Grief streams. They gettin' it easy.
Fans fall in love & get hearts broken to pieces.
Grief streams. I don't believe this.
fans fall in love & get hearts broken to pieces.
Grief streams.
Grief streams.
Never thought last night would be ya last night.
They tell you fans love you more in the afterlife.
You beg & plead & cry like "do I have to die?"
That's when you trade the lean in for a crack pipe.
It's all mutual respect until after, like
they want you bowing your head to master, aight
gotta check in on the business & that it's right.
You own & control your own masters, right?
Fillin' hearts with anger & devestation.
Royalties still paid to managers & agents
for licensing those samples & placements.
Who's left at the table with no placemats?
What if you don't have the stomach to face that?
Still dreamin' of commercial success like Drake had.
That's what they promised cuz they may say that.
I gotta repair this thing like a man from May Tag.
Don't see they get cooked - how they bakin' em.
Didn't see blood on their hands as you shakin' em.
They makin' that sweet cream
sellin' lies like believe in your dreams.
Set their sights you don't feel the lazer beams.
Gettin' paid offa grief streams.
Grief streams. They gettin' it easy.
Fans fall in love & get hearts broken to pieces.

Grief streams.
Steeped, in foul play, searchin' the Jeep.
Till they take the leap like Lil' Peep.
X got hexed gettin' religious like he blessed.
Who knew where he was at who bought the techs?
Mac Miller? Broken heart's a killer. I'm puttin' out
feelers to see what of these facts are realer.
Juice World just tryna party with the cute girls
and make enough to keep his ma dukes in huge pearls.
To this class of superstars I'ma raise a glass.
Shed a couple tears cuz I couldn't save they ass.
Thinkin' bout the good times we may've had.
Revenge is what I'll have to save for last.
Don't see they get cooked - how they bakin' em.
Didn't see blood on their hands as you shakin' em.
They makin' that sweet cream
sellin' lies like believe in your dreams.
Set their sights you don't feel the lazer beams.
Gettin' paid offa grief streams.

This has been an intense ride.
A few times we almost died.
Savor the moment, saving the most time.
Let's ditch it all and head for the coast line.
Is it over? (tell me, tell me)
Is it over? (tell me, tell me)
You wake up a little slower.
With a girl don't even know her.
I don't wanna think any more.
I don't wanna sink any lower.
I just wanna know if it's over.
When it's over. It's over.
Nice knowing you, this has been great.
I shoulda known better? Oh okay.
It's so hard to tell who's real & fake.
I don't wear rose tinted glasses
cuz they always break.
You so petty in pink.
(So petty in pink)
You so petty in pink.

Blink. Body's covered in mink.
To cover up your body covered in ink.
Got nobody left to tell you really
don't want another drink.
Would it even be easier if you did?
Still want that family & kids?
But the label wants a tour & more hits.
Now you regretting everything you did.
Is it over? (tell me, tell me)

Who am I even talking to anymore?
Screaming at myself lying on the floor.
Trying to ask God for more. Knowing my limits.
Time heals all wounds so what time is it?
Is it over? (tell me, tell me)
Is it over? (tell me, tell me)
You wake up a little slower.

Over beats? I would beat your ass.
Acapela? Don't even ask.
You prolly let diddy fuck & eat ya ass.
Lettin' investigators leave it at that.
Millions of dollars keep him gassed.
New records no one even asked.
Bars so soft they make us laugh.
My poetry more like leaves of grass.
You ain't doctor of the scene.
They doctored everything.
From your fake ass views to
how they got you on a string.
You rap a lot but don't say nothin'.
You rap a lot but don't say nothin'.
And dude is fuckin' fake too. Migga
nobody wanna sound like Drake do!
You rap a lot but don't say nothin'.

W M G tryna take over all these tracks.
Actin' like they nervous about copycats.
Cuz some scammers tried to copy acts.
That misses an obvious fact.
Drake is a fake. A fraud. A plant.
Nobody wanna sound like that man.
We want originality. So does the market.
So shut the fuck up & don't start shit.
You ain't doctor of the scene.
They doctored everything.

How much money they payin' YouTubers
to debate the beef between you goobers?
That's not how the fuckin' truth works.
Royalty checks get light so they sue first.
Jewish families. Tight knit. What I knew yours?
Honestly I don't even know who yous were.
All I know is Drake vs. Kendrick is too burnt.
Fightin' over the same bitches like 2 losers.
Classic. You trippin' like acid.
Boy you gettin' raked I had it...
You rap a lot but don't say nothin'.
You rap a lot but don't say nothin'.
And dude is fuckin' fake too. Migga

Edged Out Records mother fuckers!
All your artists get fucked regardless
of gender identity or dysmorphia.
Surveillance state type social media
the way they're recordin' ya.
Reportin' ya statements all distorted bruh.
Cuz you didn't know what Discord was.
Now they got you all cancelled and shit
just for not knowin' what the answer is.
Drowning in a sea of sameness.
Dying over all the lameness.
Divide and conquer what the game is.
I'm goin' from nameless to famous.
Drowning in a sea of sameness.
Dying over all the lameness.
Divide and conquer what the game is.
I'm goin' from nameless to famous.
They want you signed like a slave is
feelin' alien like Independence Day.
Then got you on some flaggot shit
even though you independently gay.
Definitions all blur. Designed as a curse.
For you to not distinguish the slur
from what you actually were.
The industry needs to make a you turn.
Drowning in a sea of sameness.
Dying over all the lameness.
Divide and conquer what the game is.
I'm goin' from nameless to famous.
Drowning in a sea of sameness.

Makin' albums for millions of dollars?
Never gonna recoup on that it's a problem.
If you wanna change up then holler.
Solutions I got em'. Minds they lost em'.
The economics make no sense anymore.
That's why these labels want war.
If they fire on us? We go for the jugular.
Flood em' till they can't say another word.
We ain't into the tit for tat, ya'll.
So don't start that all.
Listen you don't wanna piss me off.
Ya'll used to sponsor Diddy's freak offs.
Drowning in a sea of sameness.
