The Man lyrics - Derek Minor
[Derek Minor:]
Everything lookin' grand (Lookin' grand, yeah)
Got me feelin' like the man (Feelin' like the man, yeah)
I'll never let this moment out my hand (Out my hand, yeah)
Got me feelin' like the man (Feelin' like the man)
Like the man, yeah, feelin' like the man, (Yeah, feelin' like the man)
Like the man, ayy, feelin' like the man, (Feelin' like the man)
Like the man, uh, feelin' like the man, (Feelin' like the man)
Like the man, uh, feelin' like the man
[Byron Juane:]
You see all this gold it's on my own (Missing all that gold)
You mistaken dog, I ain't come alone (I ain't come alone)
I'ma zoo round these parts, I'm the GOAT, what you really want?
'Ere ain't nothin' that I'm on, nothing swish
Now I'm flippin' mo' with ISPG cold
Watch your euros 'cause they let you down
Hits don't pay bro, get yours crib cup, but don't play around
Ayy that's a play around, turn over this turn around
Turntable now I'm spinnin' now, know I eat good
Ain't that in-n-out, losses stay on zero (Zero)
July 'Grams don't kilo, died to see those up beneath me
But ain't no T.V, I know y'all see me
Dubs on T,V, life so peschi, glide like Giannis, ball like KD I know y'all hate it
Y'all say it, think I need a hiatus, you know
[Derek Minor:]
Everything lookin' grand (Lookin' grand, yeah)
Got me feelin' like the man (Feelin' like the man, yeah)
I'll never let this moment out my hand, (Out my hand, yeah)

[Canon:]
Ha, ha, ha
Yeah
Feelin' like the man
Bracket full of bands, yeah (Yeah)
All my homies eatin', yet I was part of the plan
Soon as we hit the party, I got permission to dance
Got my lady on my arms, a girl with nothing here
Freeze the top of my watch, 'bout time that she make them beg her
We like green light's opponent, my yellow bone make 'em mega (Whoa)
I got my own material, you linen look like a pass that drippin' barbecue
Tender loafers, may your homies care to, uh
I'm feelin' brand new, I don't know what I might do, huh
I'ma give bags to the taker (Yeah), don't watch me, watch my shoes (Yeah)
All they see is fellow Charlie in the room (Yeah)
They sayin' this is fondue, shorty can I get a one dance
I can show you later how to move
Move, huh, move, huh, yeah
[Derek Minor & Canon:]
Everything lookin' grand (Lookin' grand, yeah)
Got me feelin' like the man (Feelin' like the man)

Going In lyrics - Derek Minor
I can't be stop, you are a opp
Get out my way, I gotta win
Act like I'm not the one on the top
We been here before, you know what I did
I'm on my job, I'm doing my thing
I flex on you, boys, I do it again
They say whatever and I don't do talkin'
You lose the score, I'm going on
I can't be stop, you are a opp
Get out my way, I gotta win
Act like I'm not the one on the top
We been here before, you know what I did
I'm on my job, I'm doing my thing
I flex on you, boys, I do it again
They say whatever and I don't do talkin'
You lose the score, I'm going on
I can't be stop, you are a opp
Get out my way, I gotta win
Act like I'm not the one on the top
We been here before, you know what I did
I'm on my job, I'm doing my thing
I flex on you, boys, I do it again
They say whatever and I don't do talkin'
You lose the score, I'm going on
Ay, I'm going fifty for fifty
Me and the team is superb
I got it out of the dirt, uh
I pulled it out of the ground, uh
Everything on my own, huh
Too cold to the bone, huh
Top dawg, I'm alone, whole pack backtracked to the throne
Yeah, ay, look at the shine on the ring
Look at the ring, I'm a king, uh
Look at the king in his court, this a breaking report
I got time to make amends
Ay, time to get the win, ay
Flexin' on you boys, workin' out again
Ten outta ten, dub yet again
I can't be stop, you are a opp
Get out my way, I gotta win
Act like I'm not the one on the top
We been here before, you know what I did
I'm on my job, I'm doing my thing
I flex on you, boys, I do it again

You lose the score, I'm going on
I'm going in, yeah, yeah
I gotta win, yeah, yeah
Heard you be talkin' a lot, I'm here to say it again, uh
They sound crazy, I agree with that notion
Come through like train
Loco-my-motion
L came from the gutter
Why you playin' around if you don't know?
Everybody threats that I know
Even granny walk around with a Draco
Haters look at me like, oh, no
'Cause my teeth look like I bit snow cone
And my big truck messin' up the ozone
If you ridin' my wave better hold on, hold on
I can't be stop, you are a opp
Get out my way, I gotta win
Act like I'm not the one on the top
We been here before, you know what I did
I'm on my job, I'm doing my thing

Try Again lyrics - Derek Minor
[Derek Minor:]
All I do is win
I'ma raise the trophy up, once again
You did all you could
But you gon' have to try again, next year
All I do is win (Win, win, win, yeah)
I'ma raise the trophy up, once again
You did all you could (You did all you could)
But you gon' have to try again, next year
All I do is win
I'ma raise the trophy up, once again
You did all you could (All you could, all you could)
But you gon' have to try again, next year
[Canon:]
Ha, ha
Ah yeah
I been shootin' in the gym, gettin' it all, yeah
Watch me how I ball, watch these Rangers fall, yeah
I been on my grind, team gon' win it all, yeah
They hate it, when I shine, but I'm like gimme mine, yeah
I see you under one of my rings, but you're under one of my team, yeah
I said it when I said the same thing, but we don't really know what you mean, yeah
I'm royal with the crown, been top shelf, that's a king, yeah
Y'all fill a cup with the lean, but I'ma fill it up with the hol' up
I'll come up for anyone thinkin' I'm not gonna carry my word
They don't believe that I carry this Canon, that's one of my names, and that is absurd
We are not on the same level, I eat you like cancer
You just a germ, authentic when I twist up
Gettin' burned like a perm, yeah
[Derek Minor:]
All I do is win (Win, win, win, yeah)
I'ma raise the trophy up, once again (Once again, yeah)
You did all you could (You did all you could, yeah)
But you gon' have to try again, next year (Try again)
All I do is win (All I do is win)
I'ma raise the trophy up, once again (Once again yeah)
You did all you could (All you could, all you could)
But you gon' have to try again, next year
[Byron Juane:]
Started off slingin' dope, tryin' to buy her things
Lord knows I know who better, but I tried again
Move that coco, that moco, that smoka
Spend off the porch with a bag in her toastah
I'll pull out a check
Ayy

Woo, woo
Onto the next, whoa whoa
She not lit (She not lit)
I know she sick (I know she sick)
She ain't get a check (Nah)
After I knew, price of the kids
One down an attempt, never count what's spent
Every day I'll be on some shoes, lace on shirt (No)
They gon' have to try again next year (Next year)
'Cause it's my time to shine, talking last year (Last year)
[Derek Minor:]
All I do is win (Win, win, win, yeah)
I'ma raise the trophy up, once again (Once again, yeah)
You did all you could (You did all you could)

The Trap lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. The Wright Way)
[The Wright Way:]
It's a cold world, on the south side, when they catch you, with a .45, the trap
And the world don't care about us but they want more for the cameras, the trap
Blow your brains out on Facebook Live, you a hashtag, that's your whole life, the trap
Mama told us, that we need God, but the rent due is the most high, the trap
[Derek Minor:]
Yeah I know a couple dealers (dealers)
And a couple gangbangers (bangers)
Tryna run off with they money (uh, huh)
Guarantee they will steel you with the stainless (uh, huh)
Master used to call us monkeys (yeah)
'Til we started clipping with bananas (yeah)
Throwing seeds at your head
Now your melon fruit salad
Whole body full of rage (rage)
Whole soul full of pain
When hurt people hurt people
You gon' hear the chi' chi' from the gage (pow)
Yeah I'm talking 'bout race (race)
And any topic I can think
And I said to your face (yo face)
Well hallelujah that's grace (yeah)
This record might be the end of me
Yeah, I'm probably gon' have some enemies
Don't shoot the messenger (please)
This what the Lord has been giving me
Someone to re-envision our history, yeah
You got a college degree (yeah)
You made it out of the trap (trap)
You are not a politician (nah)
Why don't you get back to rap?
By the way, they say when you get paid
And you get a lil' fame that everything change
But I can't tell, (yah) I still feel the same (yah)
'Cause every time I'm in the store
The police watching me, watching me, watching me
My 800 credit score, help me get a loan
But my neighbors think I'm selling dope
Oh my, I'm just giving y'all a glimpse into my life
Even if you color blind, your vision still in black or white
You see me
[The Wright Way:]

God Bless The Trap lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Tony Tillman & Thi'sl)
[Derek Minor:]
Woah, our Father who art in heaven
Devil walk 'round with that Mac 11
Devil walk 'round with that packs he selling
I'm just trying to eat with all my brethren
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
I am posted where they murkin,' got them tools just like you stretchin'
Snipe you in your drop top Mustang, now you run 'round headless horseman
CNN play the loop, chose to comment on the post
They'll say "you should put them savage monkeys right back on the boat"
They won't talk about how we in these streets and everybody poor
They won't talk 'bout how we can't get jobs and all we got is dope
That's that would have drive you crazy when you trying to feed your babies
They just trying to jail and chain me, CCA trying to trade me, yeah
[Derek Minor:]
Woah, our Father who art in heaven

[Tony Tillman:]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul You keep
Bring salvation to the streets
Forgive 'em they just tryna eat
All done, sister, let us pray
Please don't let the .40 spray
Can't afford to pay for grace
Don't let 'em die before they wake
They hopeless 'fore they focus on the mil'
Posted selling dope to play the bills
Bogus only way they know to live
Blowing and they don't know that you forgive
Your mercy on their soul to hold a deal
Even smokers on the coke and pills
I seen 'em roll but they don't know yo' will
Bless the trap and let 'em know you're real
[Derek Minor:]
Woah, our Father who art in heaven
Devil walk 'round with that Mac 11

God bless the trap
[Thi'sl:]
Sitting in Maverick's Impala, feelin' like 8 Ball
'Round here, we just tryna escape the pitfalls
Crime rate high as they think, tryna evade laws
Either you got a dope hoop game or you slang rock, game raw
Have 'em out with the OG's, before he turned 16
Tryna come up on the block, tryna take a half ounce
Whip it up, turn it to a whole thing
Mama praying that he stop
Mama praying that the God she serve gon' give him a holla
But the chances of them hollow tips gon' make Momma holla
[Derek Minor:]
Woah, our Father who art in heaven

Your mercy on their soul to hold a deal
Even smokers on the coke and pills
I seen 'em roll but they don't know yo' will
Bless the trap and let 'em know you're real
[Derek Minor:]
Woah, our Father who art in heaven
Devil walk 'round with that Mac 11
Devil walk 'round with that packs he selling
I'm just trying to eat with all my brethren
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
[Thi'sl:]
Sitting in Maverick's Impala, feelin' like 8 Ball
'Round here, we just tryna escape the pitfalls
Crime rate high as they think, tryna evade laws
Either you got a dope hoop game or you slang rock, game raw
Have 'em out with the OG's, before he turned 16
Tryna come up on the block, tryna take a half ounce
Whip it up, turn it to a whole thing
Mama praying that he stop
Mama praying that the God she serve gon' give him a holla
But the chances of them hollow tips gon' make Momma holla
[Derek Minor:]
Woah, our Father who art in heaven
Devil walk 'round with that Mac 11
Devil walk 'round with that packs he selling
I'm just trying to eat with all my brethren
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
God bless the trap
Robin lyrics - Derek Minor
Where I'm from there ain't no heros
That made my decision easy like a free throw (swish swish)
Come up out your pocket so I'm poppin'
Ain't no Batman no I guess I'm Robin
Guess I'm robin, yea boy I guess I'm robin
Guess I'm robin, come up out your pockets
Guess I'm robin boy I guess I'm robbin
Guess I'm robin come up out your pockets
Open up the fridge, open up the fridge
Ain't nothing but old milk and rice again
Got like 10 more days until my check hit
I don't know how I'm about to feed my kids
Guess I grab a sip pull the drink off
Pull up on whoever until I die or hit my payroll
Rob this pharmacy give me the pills and don't you say no
REX is pointed at you and don't you move until I say so
Do you know what these Xannys get me on the street
Put it in the bag and leave before they call police
Too late I see cops surrounding me
Lying violence I'll take this armed robbery
Judge sent me away for like 20 years
I said I ain't have no options he ain't tryna hear
A menace off the street the system win again
But who's gonna save myself from my environment
Where I'm from there ain't no heros
That made my decision easy like a free throw (swish swish)
Come up out your pocket so I'm poppin'
Ain't no Batman no I guess I'm Robin
Guess I'm robin, yea boy I guess I'm robin
Guess I'm robin, come up out your pockets
Guess I'm robin boy I guess I'm robbin
Guess I'm robin come up out your pockets
Open up the fridge, open up the fridge
Ain't nothing but old milk and rice again
My mama on dope and she ain't here again
What we finna do my daddy in the pin
Guess I take the same route
They say college get you a job but that can't help me now
I don't see no super heros swoopin in with capes
So I'ma save us all, this mess is on my face
So I'ma save us all, and don't get in my way
I'm gonna put some food on all our dinner plates
And that's the trap, the system that we live in
Cause everyday death knock at our door and hope don't live hear
Let's pray for help tomorrow
Making our decision
Death will join our pops in prison
You either die a hero or live to be a villain
Who did the best he knew
But either way the cycle continues
That made my decision easy like a free throw (swish swish)
Come up out your pocket so I'm poppin'
Ain't no Batman no I guess I'm Robin
Guess I'm robin, yea boy I guess I'm robin
Guess I'm robin, come up out your pockets
Guess I'm robin boy I guess I'm robbin
Guess I'm robin come up out your pockets
Open up the fridge, open up the fridge
Ain't nothing but old milk and rice again
Got like 10 more days until my check hit
I don't know how I'm about to feed my kids
Guess I grab a sip pull the drink off
Pull up on whoever until I die or hit my payroll

It Is What It Is lyrics - Derek Minor
Ha, ha, ha, On Beat
Cold world most of my kin dead or the pen
That's why I'm an Eskimo, I bought an igloo and put on my wrist
Ran out of option we gotta survive so we takin risk
Committing sin we gotta live
It is what it is
Red dot on your white tee it look like Japan
The 40 is on me and if I get hot it blow like a fan
They talk bout the hood like they know the answer but never been in
Committing sin we gotta live
It is what it is
Yeah, yeah, everybody got the answers (answers)
They say that they plan is to master (master)
They preaching to us like they pastors (amen)
Yeah, yeah, the government treat us like cancer (cancer)
The prison system make us bastards (bastards)
Our sin on the news and it's plastered
We can't even turn to charity, they make money off our tragedy (they get the money)
If life's like a school of hard knock, street will teach you like academy
Everybody in they glass house, tell us what we need to do to make it out
When they was born on that mountaintop, they ain't seen the bottom, they don't know the route (they don't know the route)
You think that we choose this environment?
I wish I could choose an entitlement
Instead of being born in poverty and hungry hyena's surrounding me
The Fortune 500 won't hire me
So we create our own economies
With dope money, yeah, our salary
Just to feed our families
I close my eyes and pray that God to live in me
Churches move into our hood but they don't come and speak
While they gentrified, we risk our life
Selling dope, prolly die not knowing Christ
Cold world most of my kin dead or the pen
That's why I'm an Eskimo, I bought an igloo and put on my wrist
Ran out of option we gotta survive so we takin risk
Committing sin we gotta live
It is what it is
Red dot on your white tee it look like Japan
The 40 is on me and if I get hot it blow like a fan
They talk bout the hood like they know the answer but never been in
Committing sin we gotta live
It is what it is
I used to wonder why, we blow our whole tax refund
On brand new J’s, a Gucci belt, a few gold chains
When you can put that change in a IRA
You just waiting, by the time that you retire
You’ll be at the millionaire stage
What’s the point of saving anything
You die, you can’t take it with you
And that will probably be tonight the way that they shooting, they straight out to hit you
I bet you God hear the prayers of millions of mothers
And they all sound the same, even though their sons in different gangs
And they shooting at each other right now
You hear her cries now
Now he's a hashtag they debating 'bout it online now
That's what I call an abortion
And since we talking about abortions
We ain't put them clinics in our own hood, somebody making a fortune
You talking 'bout these mothers like they out here killing for sport
Rather kill they baby in her belly before he get brought in this war
You politicize our genocides
Then use the victim as an scapegoat
But if you care like you say to do
You should talk less and do more
Cold world most of my kin dead or the pen
That's why I'm an Eskimo, I bought an igloo and put on my wrist
Ran out of option we gotta survive so we takin risk
Committing sin we gotta live
It is what it is
Red dot on your white tee it look like Japan
The 40 is on me and if I get hot it blow like a fan

Nothing To Something lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Propaganda & Aaron Cole)
[Aaron Cole:]
She knows
We ain't never had nothing (whoa)
We ain't never had nothing (whoa)
Tryna' turn it into something
We ain't never had nothing
But we try and turn this love into something, yeah, yeah
Into something yeah yeah, into something
Into into something yeah, yeah
We ain't never had nothing
But we try and turn this love into something, yeah, yeah
[Derek Minor:]
Oh don't you judge me
Please don't you judge me
You supposed to learn me
You looking down like you standing above me but I'm so used to that yeah
America acting like they send us they don't play their part
They just play me though
Land of the free was built for free offering it back they just take it from us
This life is a typical culture till now I left
Beat us and broke us with noose around our neck
Sold our families and raped our mothers with no respect
And told us if we learned to read it would be certain death
And that's the hand that we was dealt played it for Jim Crow
White hoods and shotguns intimidate our vote
But still we persisted tried to believe
Even if assassins kill our kings with dreams
And I ain't asking for no sympathy
But the difference in our history often affects who we intend to be
And don't you dare talk about a broken home
Cause for 250 years all our families was buzzed whole
Still trying to put it together I feel like it's taking forever
It ain't for a lack of trying we trying to do better
Gotta rise above it
Trying to turn this nothing into something
[Aaron Cole & Propaganda:]
We ain't never had nothing (whoa)
We ain't never had nothing (whoa)
Trying to turn it into something
We ain't never had nothing
But we try and turn this nothing into something, yeah, yeah
Into something yeah, yeah, into something
Into, into something yeah, yeah
We ain't never had nothing (no)
But we try and turn this nothing in to something yeah, yeah
Yeah
[Propaganda:]
Little homie about to do the trick (uh)
Homie let me learn you a trick (woo)
Black people teach you how to breathe it though
Ex me hello, something out of nothing you should see it though
It's black boy George, black boy fly
Black girl rock hit the rock make it cry
Hold the staff for Moses can't call it its magic from 10,000 hours
And uninhabited, couple, couple of noodles and hot links
A gourmet feast a miracle nothing short a tree
Spotting out concrete yeah white out the concrete
Yeah y'all at it all week
System kill our prophets and mock our mournful
Give us balls and mikes and demand we perform for them
It's crazy 300 years been trying to say to you
Why I gotta explain it, ain't plain to you? (huh)
We never had nothing but nothing was selfish
Kept my belly full of the stuff the rich was missing
Y'all could grow a little, your little minds could listen
Privilege you protect us made y'all a victim
You think you blameless, I know you shamed it
Y'all can't even see the pain in our faces
You ain't got the frame for the affects and displacement
You marvel at the joy that comes from our spaces
Even though
[Aaron Cole & Propaganda:]

Of Course lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Byron Juane)
[Derek Minor:]
Hallelujah, oh Lord
Where I'm from it go frttttt when they bored
We ain't supposed to be here, pop a cork
God did it, ohhh I'm flexing, yeah of course
Made out the bottom, of course
I ain't gotta worry bout a thing anymore
I just whew whew whew whew whew, yea of course
With a crown of thorns feeling like a king, yea of course
Made out the bottom, of course
I ain't gotta worry bout a thing anymore
I just whew whew whew whew whew, yea of course
With a crown of thorns feeling like a king, yea of course
[Byron Juane:]
Young lil hittalLike like a mistro
Ain't been anywhere I can't go
Shawty told me I'm a star
Told her I don't need the gas
What I really really need is good credit and a bag
Momma saw me sign the deal, I told her there it go
Now I'm waking up in lofts on the wood floor
On my pride I'm mufasa
Flex boy I outta
God said He got it so I stress not about it
I just Kuna Matata hitta, yeah I really do
People coming for the squad, get a coffin and a noose
Been a king from a king so my rings gotta ring
Now my chains gotta gleam
And my soul's been a grim
Wow, of course
How you got the drive all that power, need a horse
Young Ron like a Demi God, what a force
I been feeling charged cause I'm plugged in the source
Planned from the end, I win, yeah of course
[Derek Minor:]
Hallelujah, oh Lord

With a crown of thorns feeling like a king, yea of course
Okay, let me give y'all a new style to run with
New ideas to bite, new wave to surf on
Please prepare the throne, Mr Minor is home
And I'm done putting you on, get Doc on the phone
Watch my moves with binoculars to duplicate it
But they don't see the big picture so they can't trace it
I can teach you how to hustle and then finesse it
Have my cheese and my bread quick, make it deep dish
Whew whew whew whew, it's never been about the money for me
Ugh ugh ugh, it's always been about the kingdom, dummy
I been talking to the son, he said the future sunny
Got a lot of haters but my momma love me
I'm an artist but I'm more close to a trapper
Cause I operate outside of the rules, you can't catch us
A lot of people talk but they full of the stuff in pampers
Trying not to hit the button like Trump and nuke me a rapper
Of course
Hallelujah, oh Lord
Where I'm from it go frttttt when they bored

Man lyrics - Derek Minor
Look me in my face, I'm a man
If you talk behind my back, say it to me, like a man
I never leave my family, they're my blood, I'm a man
I never back down, I'm goin' out like a man
Like a man, like a man
Handle business like a man
'Fore I live like a coward, I'ma die, like a man
If I ever fall, I'll pick myself up, like a man
And I pray to God, whew, face my fears, like a man
All I know is hustle (hustle)
All I know is hustle (hustle)
You ain't on your business, I don't know if I can trust you
Oh I'm taking care of mine
Look my children in the eye
Tell em', you won't miss a meal, 'long as Daddy still alive
I stand on my word, I won't take it back
I'd die over mine, as simple as that
So even If I don't get platinum plaque
I build all my gold and then turn into scholarship ahh
Ten toes down, always on the grind
Look me in the eye, I don't play around
Secure the bag and break it down
Invest that home to build community
I only buy from people down the street
I eat, you eat, you eat, they eat, we eat
I bring the sauce, bread and the cheese
A pizza party all on me, scratch that all on God
I'm blessed on blessed, can roll a Lex' with Rolex on wrist
But my investment's by my estimate
Leave a heritage to my testament
Look me in my face, I'm a man
If you talk behind my back, say it to me like a man
I never leave my family, they're my blood, I'm a man
I never back down, I'm goin' out like a man
Like a man, like a man
Handle business like a man
'Fore I live like a coward, ima die like a man
If I ever fall, I'll pick myself up, like a man
And I pray to God, whew, face my fears like a man
I am not your boy, don't you call me that
I'm really a king I been on mission take my throne back
Pull up on you like the liquor store, where the crown at
They just go in circles try to stop me, that's a cul de sac
All back in my bag and got it jumpin' that's a set race
Shoot my shot like Reggie Miller, you can't match Pacer
Uh yeah, if you been sleeping, I make a you a well
I keep killin' checks they gon' leave me the chair
My injects are lethal, My hustle is lethal
I see like an eagle, they watch me like Vevo
My movements will teach you, I'm here for my people
Break it down, break it down, welcome to class
Welcome to we ain't coolin' for a dollar
Look inside the mirror, all I see T'Challa
Revolutionary, Jesus or Apollo
Stand up like a man
Stand up like a man
Look me in my face, I'm a man
If you talk behind my back, say it to me like a man
I never leave my family, they're my blood, I'm a man
I never back down, I'm goin' out like a man
Like a man, like a man
Handle business like a man
'Fore I live like a coward, ima die like a man
If I ever fall, I'll pick myself up, like a man
And I pray to God, whew, face my fears like a man
If you talk behind my back, say it to me, like a man
I never leave my family, they're my blood, I'm a man
I never back down, I'm goin' out like a man
Like a man, like a man
Handle business like a man
'Fore I live like a coward, I'ma die, like a man
If I ever fall, I'll pick myself up, like a man
And I pray to God, whew, face my fears, like a man
All I know is hustle (hustle)
All I know is hustle (hustle)
You ain't on your business, I don't know if I can trust you
Oh I'm taking care of mine
Look my children in the eye
Tell em', you won't miss a meal, 'long as Daddy still alive
I stand on my word, I won't take it back
I'd die over mine, as simple as that
So even If I don't get platinum plaque
I build all my gold and then turn into scholarship ahh
Ten toes down, always on the grind
Look me in the eye, I don't play around
Secure the bag and break it down
Invest that home to build community
I only buy from people down the street
I eat, you eat, you eat, they eat, we eat
I bring the sauce, bread and the cheese
A pizza party all on me, scratch that all on God
I'm blessed on blessed, can roll a Lex' with Rolex on wrist
But my investment's by my estimate
Leave a heritage to my testament
Look me in my face, I'm a man
If you talk behind my back, say it to me like a man
I never leave my family, they're my blood, I'm a man
I never back down, I'm goin' out like a man
Like a man, like a man
Handle business like a man
'Fore I live like a coward, ima die like a man
If I ever fall, I'll pick myself up, like a man
And I pray to God, whew, face my fears like a man
I am not your boy, don't you call me that
I'm really a king I been on mission take my throne back
Pull up on you like the liquor store, where the crown at
They just go in circles try to stop me, that's a cul de sac
All back in my bag and got it jumpin' that's a set race
Shoot my shot like Reggie Miller, you can't match Pacer
Uh yeah, if you been sleeping, I make a you a well
I keep killin' checks they gon' leave me the chair
My injects are lethal, My hustle is lethal
I see like an eagle, they watch me like Vevo
My movements will teach you, I'm here for my people
Break it down, break it down, welcome to class
Welcome to we ain't coolin' for a dollar
Look inside the mirror, all I see T'Challa
Revolutionary, Jesus or Apollo
Stand up like a man
Stand up like a man
Look me in my face, I'm a man
If you talk behind my back, say it to me like a man
I never leave my family, they're my blood, I'm a man
I never back down, I'm goin' out like a man
Like a man, like a man
Handle business like a man
'Fore I live like a coward, ima die like a man
If I ever fall, I'll pick myself up, like a man
And I pray to God, whew, face my fears like a man
I Have A Dream lyrics - Derek Minor
Yeah
Just go ahead and hum to 'em, uh
Everybody
Let the beat breathe
I have a dream that's similar to Dr. King's
Let freedom ring in the streets
I have a dream that there was nothin' left to protest
Because all of God's people would treat each other equal
I have a dream that our blood-stained blocks with young men shot are now clean
No more shoulders cried on with mother's tears
I have a dream that the #MeToo movement was not needed
And all of our women like queens they were treated
I have a dream that our soldiers came home and the war stopped
Prison wasn't for profit, treating bodies like stocks
I have a dream
That from dawn until dusk
That we all know Your love
Till we turn into dust
Oh God, I have a dream
(Dream, dream, dream)
I have a dream
(Dream, dream, dream)
I have a dream
(Dream, dream, dream)
Oh Lord, I have a dream, dream, dream (Dream)
I have a dream, dream, dream (Dream)
I have a dream
I have a dream
I look around the world and all I see is just a broken version of what's it's supposed to be (Yeah)
Murder, lie, cheat, steal, kill for the love of money and pursuit of power
Kids wounded by adult figures and they cry at night in their scar tissues
Politicians make decisions that hinders the lives of the poors and don't see the issue
Churches take money from God, children play any part in the politics
It's hard to know who to trust when the truth is irrelevant to the reverent
God, we really need your medicine 'cause the painkillers never kill the pain
They just numb it all (they just numb it all)
We wanna feel (we wanna feel)
I have a dream (But it's lost)
(Dream, dream, dream)
I have a dream
(Dream, dream, dream)
I have a dream
(Dream, dream, dream)
Oh Lord, I have a dream, dream, dream (Dream)
I have a dream, dream, dream (Dream)
I have a dream
Uh, this is my PSA for all of my dawgs who've been gay
And all of the others that work 9 to 5 and they grind but they can't get a raise on they pay
I look to the day when chemicals not in our food and judges they judge by the truth
And malice is not in they rules, the police can stay home 'cause really there's nothin' to do, nothin' to do
I keep on talkin' equality (equality) 'cause I see families dyin' (dyin')
I don't want more than we're supposed to have (supposed to have) I just want all of thrivin' (thrivin')
I'm really prayin' the prayer that God said in the New Testament (yeah, dream)
"Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on Earth like in Heaven"
This is my dream
They can hold us down, pray for our fall
When all is lost, dream on
Dream on, dream on
When all is lost, dream on
They can hold us down, pray for our fall
When all is lost, dream on
Dream on, dream on
When all is lost, dream
Just go ahead and hum to 'em, uh
Everybody
Let the beat breathe
I have a dream that's similar to Dr. King's

Black Market lyrics - Derek Minor
Ricky Ross crossed the highway with that dope on him
With that dope on him
Now them young d boys hit the block with that hope on em
With that hope on em
Black market
Black market
Black market
Black market
Who gave the real Rick Ross coke?
To spread it 'from coast to coast
I know, but if I said it ya'll would kill me
Just google Gary Webb if you feel me
Ain't gone spell it out all the time use your mind
How they brand kids as slaves
Get dope 'cross ocean tides
Or borderlines or county lines
I'm stuck
Now black men are mascots for hell on earth
Tookie started the Crips and told us own your turf
So now we shoot in the gym or the block for survival
But either way we blue devils
My cousins went to jail for sellin' weed
Now in Colorado you get green leaf with green tea
At first pumpkin spice latte's were her addiction
Now she throw them yoga pants and Ugg's on to smoke in Denver
Ricky Ross crossed the highway with that dope on him
With that dope on him
Now them young d boys hit the block with that hope on em
With that hope on em
Black market
Black market
Black market
Black market
Yeah, Yeah
Somebody asked why I ain't got a deal
Okay, I'm 'bout to keep it too real
I'm too black for some people taste
They can't serve that to their base
And others think I'm way too safe
Cuz I don't brag about what I got in my safe
Or xanny'd out my mind, in a life of crime
And I ain't never live but it works on Spotify
You ain't selling a character
Me, I won't be Carlton Banks to make you feel peace
Or generic street
You can exploit
If you ain't get the iMessage yeah this the text boy
I'm the reason Christ died and Martin was martianed
Speak the real truth to the ones in the margins
So they can dodge the lie from the snake in the garden
And I tell it in the church and NY at the Garden
Black market
With that dope on him
Now them young d boys hit the block with that hope on em
With that hope on em
Black market
Black market
Black market
Black market
Who gave the real Rick Ross coke?
To spread it 'from coast to coast

Decisions lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Dre Murray, Chino Dollaz & Anesha Birchett)
Yeah, yeah
[Derek Minor:]
He pulled up to that corner store with nothing but evil on his mind
Black hoodie on and a loaded.45
His rivals think this a game
And they don't know that he hot
He gonna throw a couple bullets at him like he Brett Farve
They done violated
I mean really violated
Jumped him on his way to school
Uploaded it to YouTube now everybody laughing
But they won't be laughing when he tighten em all up
With his ratchet then his phone ring
Bruh where you at?
Why my gun missing?
I told you let it go
I told you stop tripping
I just picked up Desiah and I gotta get to work
Look I know your pride is hurt
But don't let this stupid
The Devil got the blueprint
He wanna put us all in Jail
Then Hell
I'm in the car now
Click, whatever Johnny, I ain't got time to listen to whatever you got to say
[Chino Dollaz:]
Day to day decisions getting made
Foolish pride always seem to get in the way
Probably doing something that'll get me sent away
Whatever though
Touch me, click clack bang
Day to day decisions getting made
Foolish pride always seem to get in the way
Probably doing something that'll get me sent to the grave
Whatever though
Touch me, click clack bang
[Derek Minor:]
About 20 minutes past and his blood boiled inside
There that boy go
Hopped out the ride to the back of the [?]
And popped him in his eye
Pistol whip that boy till his arm got tired
Man Ima get you first
And Ima get your dogs later
You ain't making it out of this one
I hope that you been praying
Pointed it at his head and right before he started spraying Dre came out of nowhere and tackled him to the pavement
Boy have you lost your mind?
This is not who you are
Get in the car
But Dre
Get in the car
He fussed a little
But he knew that Dre was right
So he kutless opened the door sat inside and the sirens came
Get on the ground I will blast you right now
Don't make a sound
You banger types, all you do is fight
I've been chasing your kind around all night
Sir
Look sir
My name is Andre
There was a fight here but now it's okay
Right, let's see some ID
So he reached in his pocket and all you heard was gun
Then bullets got to poppin'
The officer turned around to the backup just arrived
Officers hold you fire hold your fire!
The officer looked back
Saw a wallet on the floor
And Dre next to it eyes closed he was
Gone
[Anesha Birchett:]
Yeah, think twice one decision can affect your life
Yeah it can take your life
So choose loving twice
We don't want no darkness we want light
To change our lifes
Before another one gone
Gone and gone and gone
She gone he gone we gone another gone
Woah don't want another one gone and gone and gone
She gone he gone we gone another gone
Oh what do you know what do you know what do you know
You know

Goodbye Lullaby lyrics - Derek Minor
(Ay ay ay)
Gun shots in the night (oh oh oh)
Sing a lullaby
Sing a lullaby (ay ay ay)
When I close my eyes (oh oh oh)
I just wanna say goodbye, wanna say goodbye (ay ay ay)
Gun shots in the night (oh oh oh)
Sing a lullaby
Sing a lullaby (ay ay ay)
When I close my eyes (oh oh oh)
I just wanna say goodbye
Everyone tellin' me I need to calm down
I've been goin' crazy, feelin' like I'm losin' it
Though I got it all now, the Devil he been waitin'
I've been on his menu, guess I'm finally in his claws now
Trying to avoid the fall now, steal my innocence
I need to repent, I am not perfect
You should now that by now
I've been medicatin' everything away
I'm just trying not to ever feel the pain
I already know that it's wrong
Quit talkin' to me, leave me 'lone
I member some people that say they the light
They be the ones that bout to make me hard as darkness
Skeletons all in my closet, skeletons turn into monster
If there is a God and you're right here and you're listening
I'm tired of it all, oh I'm tired of it all
Cause I see death in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
I got voices in my head that always come and talk to me
And my fear is Freddy Kruger cause they stalk me in my dreams
I see slave ship, guns, clips, gang colors, prison cells, dope fiends
Jim Crow, Jim Beam, pills, lean, no justice, no peace
Felonies and misdemeanors
Wondering if we curse
Can I get my degree first?
'Fore they murder me, no degree first
It's America we get the green first
You feed the poor but its greed first
Livin' water but I die of thirst
If there is a God and you're right here and you're listening
I'm tired of it all, oh I'm tired of it all
Cause I see death in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
But just when I was drowning
Surrounded by a sea of my own darkness
Then light broke through
And just as I was swallowed by my own fears
Then light broke through
Now all I see is you, you, you
God all I see is you, you, you
All I see is you, you, you
All I see is you, you, you, you
Gun shots in the night (oh oh oh)
Sing a lullaby
Sing a lullaby (ay ay ay)
When I close my eyes (oh oh oh)
I just wanna say goodbye, wanna say goodbye (ay ay ay)
Gun shots in the night (oh oh oh)
Sing a lullaby
Sing a lullaby (ay ay ay)
When I close my eyes (oh oh oh)
I just wanna say goodbye
Everyone tellin' me I need to calm down
I've been goin' crazy, feelin' like I'm losin' it
Though I got it all now, the Devil he been waitin'
I've been on his menu, guess I'm finally in his claws now
Trying to avoid the fall now, steal my innocence
I need to repent, I am not perfect
You should now that by now
I've been medicatin' everything away
I'm just trying not to ever feel the pain

Skeletons all in my closet, skeletons turn into monster
If there is a God and you're right here and you're listening
I'm tired of it all, oh I'm tired of it all
Cause I see death in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
I got voices in my head that always come and talk to me
And my fear is Freddy Kruger cause they stalk me in my dreams
I see slave ship, guns, clips, gang colors, prison cells, dope fiends
Jim Crow, Jim Beam, pills, lean, no justice, no peace
Felonies and misdemeanors
Wondering if we curse
Can I get my degree first?
'Fore they murder me, no degree first
It's America we get the green first
You feed the poor but its greed first
Livin' water but I die of thirst
If there is a God and you're right here and you're listening
I'm tired of it all, oh I'm tired of it all
Cause I see death in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
But just when I was drowning
Surrounded by a sea of my own darkness
Then light broke through
And just as I was swallowed by my own fears
Then light broke through
Now all I see is you, you, you
God all I see is you, you, you
All I see is you, you, you
All I see is you, you, you, you
Don't Cry lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Aaron Cole & The Wright Way)
[Aaron Cole:]
I know it's so hard to say goodbye
And wipe away all of those tears that you cry
But when you look and don't know where to be found
No mama, mama don't you cry for me now
No mama, mama don't you cry for me now
[Derek Minor:]
I know (I know)
You saw me at the worst time, you was prayin' all night
And I know (I know)
That even when I wasn't right you were standin' by my side
'Cause you didn't see what everybody else saw
I bet they all wish they all had your vision now
You just saw that little boy that God called
I'm finally tuned in to your mission now
And I can hear you call for me
Every time the Devil set them trials for me
Set them trials for me
And you said I would make it through, oh If I just believe, yeah I just believe
[The Wright Way:]
You're so right, you're so right
Because I found a light, I found a light
[Aaron Cole:]
I know it's so hard to say goodbye
And wipe away all of those tears that you cry
But when you look and don't know where to be found
No mama, mama don't you cry for me now
No mama, mama don't you cry for me now
[Derek Minor:]
'Cause God heard you on those late nights
Told you, "Dry your eyes, you don't have to cry Oh no, you don't have to cry
Before that boy was yours, he was mine
Your son'll be just fine
And ma, you know that God can never lie"
'Cause I know that I can't make it on my own
I trust the Lord through the storm
He stuck his hand out
For dear life I'm holding on To be the best father that I can
Best husband that I can I'm not perfect, but I'm sticking to his plan
So when I lose my life I already lost it for him
I get it back, I'll forever live again I'll forever live again
Forgave me of my sins
Forgave me of my sins
Now I know I'm his
[The Wright Way:]
You're so right, you're so right
Because I found a light, I found a light
[Aaron Cole:]
I know it's so hard to say goodbye
And wipe away all of those tears that you cry
But when you look and don't know where to be found
No mama, mama don't you cry for me now
No mama, mama don't you cry for me now
I know it's so hard to say goodbye
And wipe away all of those tears that you cry
But when you look and don't know where to be found
No mama, mama don't you cry for me now
No mama, mama don't you cry for me now
[Derek Minor:]
I know (I know)
You saw me at the worst time, you was prayin' all night
And I know (I know)

You're so right, you're so right
Because I found a light, I found a light
[Aaron Cole:]

See You Win lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Aaron Cole)
I just wanna see you win

Revolution lyrics - Derek Minor
No timeouts
Welcome, so glad you could finally make it
And we've got something to see
Just for you, ha
Welcome to the revolution
Welcome to the revolution
They been looking for the blueprint
You been gettin' hear some exclusives
Welcome to the revolution
Welcome to the revolution
They been looking for the blueprint
You been gettin' hear some exclusives
I am nothing like you rap guys
You should never get it confused
I don't fall for them cornball moves
You should work on your kung fu
Sensei how I kick game, even if they don't listen
Say your soul to 'em, if you want to your career be missing
Insult the culture vulture, RMG like coast [?], mean we family
Murder everything, off of G.O.D, off of G.O.D
Learn from my losses
Started Amplify, now we fittin' to make everybody bosses
Y'all should be cautious
If you check 'cause I check the contract, don't look at me
'Cause that sell your dreams then buy 'em back with your royalties, worries me
Went from robbing hood to Robin Hood
I can not complain 'cause Yah' is good
Even when they try to overlook
I can not complain 'cause Yah' is good
Welcome to the revolution
Welcome to the revolution

You can get to hear exclusives
Welcome to the revolution

Hey, shouts out Jimmy O
Hey, Kalley G. set aside like I been rapping for my good on these records
Hey what up Doc. Weezy that's my day one
Ton' we fittin' to turn up on this boy real quick you know what I'm saying
I've been trying hard to not look down on people I looked up to
I'm just trying to thrive and be a king like I'm supposed to
I've been cast out by people who have called me brother
Now I murder everything you put me on like I'm Killmonger
Umm, whatever I got my things together
I don't sweat it even in hell with three sweaters
The flow frozen on a new level
I could build a snowman on the head of the devil, sheesh
Look what the game did done to me
I watch you get fat while I starved out with my team
[?] taught us how to hunt, our aim is pristine
He invent us and sent all the fix-ins with my regime
Glory to God He give grace
He said before you get up finish your plate
So I tell the whole world I'm a sinner and Christ saves
I tell the whole world I'm a sinner and Christ saves
Still talking that talk, this my lane
You know, old dawgs, new tricks, I can't change
That a had you lookin' like you lost your brain
Everybody confused by my mission still the same
Get my family out the hood before I enter my grave
My mind, body, and soul, my faith in the name
Jesus

Lift Him on, lift Him on, lift Him on high

On the way to be high above it (high above it)
Oh my, oh my, oh my God I just need to be where You are (yeah)

How you like me now? Can't nobody bring me down, down, down, down
Thought you were focused

High above, I've been stressing
I've been having the right senses of Heaven
I've been feeling like I'm closer to Jesus

This Morning lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Anesha Birchett)
[Anesha Birchett:]
I woke up this morning like
"What I gotta worry 'bout? God got me"
I woke up this morning like
"What I gotta worry 'bout? God got me"
[Derek Minor:]
Uh, cold in my eyes, breath stankin'
Had a dream I was still in my '89 Lincoln, yeah
Woke up, told God I was tryna change the world
He said, "Boy, whatchu need? Whatchu thinkin'? (I got it)"
I said, "I need to choose"
He said, "Check your email"
I had a beat there from Juice Bangers
That'll work for some inspiration
808s all like a hockey player
He said, "Go ahead, it's time to shine now"
I'm in your corner like timeout
Let the haters go and sleep sound
They gon' smell the Folgers when you grind out
And, Lord, please forgive me I have envy in my heart
Knowing I'm really Your son, wishing I was just a star
That was when I was selling mixtapes for gas in my car
How dare I look at what I got and say that You ain't gave it all
Know the universe all in Your hands, but I got ambition the size of a planet
Plus, I'm unqualified like Michael Scott in The Office, but somehow I manage, uh
Why would I panic?
Woke up right out of a casket
This time we 'bout to do damage
He got it covered like bandage
We in like all of my bandits
RMG at it
[Derek Minor & Anesha Birchett:]
I woke up this morning like
"What I gotta worry 'bout? God got me"
I woke up this morning like
"What I gotta worry 'bout? God got me"
I woke up this morning like
"What I gotta worry 'bout? God got me"
I woke up this morning like
"What I gotta worry 'bout? God got me"
I done gave it all to Jesus, but sometime I try to keep it
I done came up from the bottom, but I done rocked arenas
I'd kill the show, get off stage, and still feel like I'm worthless
Maybe I should quit the circus, maybe I forgot my purpose
That's that–
See, I ain't tryna get down
But, boy, this life can kick you right into the ground
But I ain't afraid, no
Get up and try, day in, day out
Ooh
[Derek Minor:]
That's that dough
The kind that'll cook with you if you let it
The kind that'll kill you off at a murder scene
Get the yellow tape, there's another dream, yeah
We done came a long, long way
Yeah, I mean a long, long way
Cup of Kool-Aid, powdered eggs, fried bologna all on a plate (all on a plate)
Went from ramen noodles to the real ramen, not the kind with the powder (with the powder!)
Now I'm taking mama, get filet mignon with the side of the chowder (clam chowder!)
She deserve it
Worked a million hours, no off day
I want it all
So before I die I'm tryna make every week a vacay, yeah (make a vacay!)
And if I lose it all, I can't sell a record, know I'm okay, yeah (we good!)
'Cause God got me, yeah, God got me, boy, we okay, yeah (we okay!)
So I gotta get it
I can't be out here pretending like I ain't tryna win it (woo!)
Man, I talked a whole lot about faith, boy, now I'm tryna live it, yeah
[Derek Minor & Anesha Birchett:]

Walls lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Urban Rescue)
[Jordan Frye:]
We build walls
All around us, all around us
Try to keep what we don't know
At a distance, at a distance
We don't listen
[Derek Minor:]
Now if I stood on a corner and asked you for $2 for a Whopper
Would you let your cynicism stop you? Would it stop you? Would it stop you? I mean would you?
I mean we spend $9.99 on Spotify, but hearing my stomach rumblin', not worth a dime?
Not worth a dime? Not even one?
Look, or if I had suit and tie, maybe I'd be worth your time?
Only money on your mind, cause we are so selfish
Jesus walked with the poor
Are we too good for that?
Kissing up to God in our prayers to get a promotion
To make more money and buy more things, that we don't need
That we just buy to show off for the next guy and still feel poor inside
Still feel homeless as the person that we just denied
By the way, how have you treated the least of these?
Pride and Money, are you a slave to them?
Cause you ain't gotta be black to pick cotton off a shelf of an
H&M
[Jordan Frye:]
We build walls
All around us, all around us
Try to keep what we don't know
At a distance, oh, at a distance
We don't listen
[Derek Minor:]
Pray to God for the day that we came
Put our guns down and see Him in all of our face
Can't you see with the hands of the master we made
But we don't enjoy the creation of art on display
So now when we look at each other
I don't want you not to see my color
See our differences are not the weakness
And in this present we gon' need the master's masterpieces
Feel like we all can see them thinking you'd be better if you was more like me
I know when it was God, it made you more like you
Made in His image, we are all His kids
So if I look down on you, I look down on Him
I'm a sinner, you a sinner, what's the difference?
We all need love, joy, Jesus, and healing
We got a lot in common if we would just listen
Instead of building more walls, let's build more bridges
Let's build more bridges
[Jordan Frye:]
We build walls
All around us, all around us
Try to keep what we don't know
At a distance, at a distance
We don't listen
We build walls
All around us, all around us
Try to keep what we don't know
At a distance, at a distance
We don't listen
[Derek Minor:]
Now if I stood on a corner and asked you for $2 for a Whopper
Would you let your cynicism stop you? Would it stop you? Would it stop you? I mean would you?
I mean we spend $9.99 on Spotify, but hearing my stomach rumblin', not worth a dime?
Not worth a dime? Not even one?
Look, or if I had suit and tie, maybe I'd be worth your time?
Only money on your mind, cause we are so selfish
Jesus walked with the poor
Are we too good for that?
Kissing up to God in our prayers to get a promotion
To make more money and buy more things, that we don't need
That we just buy to show off for the next guy and still feel poor inside
Still feel homeless as the person that we just denied
By the way, how have you treated the least of these?
Pride and Money, are you a slave to them?
Cause you ain't gotta be black to pick cotton off a shelf of an

higher Higher HIGHER lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Byron Juane)
[Byron Juane:]
They tell me the sky's the limit
And I'm going over you
All of my bag, I'ma win it
I'ma keep going up, I won't fall
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
[Derek Minor:]
I was living at my brother crib
I was sleeping on my brother couch
Dreams used to keep me up at night
Now I'm living what I dream about
I'm thanking God, I'm thanking God right now
So high above, where I was, I don't wanna look down
Came a long from Backwoods and them dirt roads
How I made it out, only Lord knows, guess the Lord shows
You hear my heart in these sessions, these song my confessions
Please, won't you listen my lessons
It'd be a lie to say my focus was on God all the time, but He still love me right
[Byron Juane:]
They tell me the sky's the limit
And I'm going over you
All of my bag, I'ma win it
I'ma keep going up, I won't fall
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
I got it going up now
With my way up and I won't come down
There's a lot of things I don't want back
So high up, seeing clouds now
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
[Derek Minor:]
I've been waiting my whole life
Working, grinding, way up, oh my
Used to punch in line from 9 to 5
Now from 9 to 5 I punch line
If you never let your dreams die
Throw it up for me one time
You gotta keep living up to your purpose
It ain't that far out your reach
No, you not perfect, knew that this was certain
I know who you destined to be
You reflecting all the greatness out the Son
You the one who a star
You the one I can't wait to see what you, you become
I just know that we go, going up
[Byron Juane:]
They tell me the sky's the limit
And I'm going over you
All of my bag, I'ma win it
I'ma keep going up, I won't fall
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
I got it going up now
With my way up and I won't come down

Tight Rope lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Roz)
[Derek Minor:]
Now, let me tell you my story this evening
And try to say it all without sounding conceited
I feed my family with these thoughts I write in these pages
And people finally know the words when I step on these stages
These accolades make me feel like the one
Who am I kidding? I'm reflecting the Son, but that's the tension
It seem like the higher up that you go, you forget what lift you up off the floor
The air is thin up here
All this sun's reflection
It feel like so much pressure
One step, wrong direction
Everything comes down, down, down
Yeah, you do love all my verses
Sometimes these gifts are just curses
And no, I'm not perfect
But neither are you, neither are you
How much it cost for me to follow You and still have it all?
I want it all
I can't afford to miss another step 'cause I might just fall
No I can't fall
Tight rope
Don't look down
Don't look down
Aye, don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Aye, don't look down
Tight rope
[Roz:]
High above the stars, the sky
Touch the moon, the clouds, and I
Can't come down, not if I try
Up above, so high, so high
Fight the feeling of the fall
To and by, we're stuck to crawl
And I bet you feel it, too
Gravity wants us to lose, oh
[Derek Minor:]
Man, who we all on the surface?
Walking the dead line tryna get to our purpose
Way on top of the mount, where we all wanna live
But the higher up that you go, the colder it get
How you define success? What is life about?
What you chased in the past, would you chase it now?
Money, power, respect really key to the locks?
I learned one thing in this life, you either free or you not
Message:
How much it cost for me to follow You and still have it all?
I want it all
Fact:
I can't afford to miss another step 'cause I might just fall
No I can't fall
Tight rope
Don't look down

High Enough lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. WHATUPRG)
[WHATUPRG:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I got, I got
I feel like PRo 2008
I got, I got, yeah
I got angels all around me
So don't ask the boy what's up
You can ask the one's around you
They gonna tell you that it sucks
High enough
I can hear the Lord calling
I don't feel like picking up
Who thought the higher up
The more you get out of touch
High enough
[Derek Minor:]
I been out here tryna climb this ladder am I high enough?
I been turning everything into gold I got the Midas touch
They like you made it boy
How you feed your family yeah
Pat you on the back and give you thumbs a way to go
I remember when I used to dream about it
Now I'm here I could care less about it
Am I ungrateful?
6 figures on the table, stacking shrimp on the table
I treat it like it ain't a thing though
I been out on the road I been doing these shows
Telling you all how to go up
But I ain't been to church in 4 months
I be the first to admit
I ain't talking to God why
I been way to focused on the climb
[WHATUPRG:]
I got angels all around me
So don't ask the boy what's up
You can ask the one's around you
They gonna tell you that it sucks
High enough
I can hear the Lord calling
I don't feel like picking up
Who thought the higher up
The more you get out of touch
High enough
[Derek Minor:]
Check up, plug them rights, stunt on my haters, go hate on that
I bought a new thing, newer than your thing
I can have everything and feel like I don't have anything oh
Maybe high enough ain't high enough
I've been trying to get to God my plan ain't flying off
That's cause I'm confusing Him with everything I got
I'm confusing what I got with everything I need
I got blessings all around me, I got angels all around me
I got life all around me, how I make it all about me? That's the trap
Spend your whole life chasing nothing
Please don't take the bait let your soul fly high above
[WHATUPRG:]
I got angels all around me
So don't ask the boy what's up
You can ask the one's around you
They gonna tell you that it sucks
High enough
I can hear the Lord calling
I don't feel like picking up
Who thought the higher up
The more you get out of touch
High enough
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I got, I got
I feel like PRo 2008
I got, I got, yeah

Visions From The Top lyrics - Derek Minor
I don't like the view from here
No I don't like the view from here
This mountain top is cloudy yeah
And everything is not as clear
This altitude starting to make me dizzy
I can't tell my friends from my enimies
I just see green the scenery is pretty
Everything is calm
Yeah everything is calm
Whoa oh oh oh
Thought the higher up I got
That the Devil would leave me alone
Whoa oh oh oh
Giving me everything I want for exchange [?]
I have visions from the top now
I might take the bottom over this
I have visions from the top now
I might take the bottom over this
I have visions from the top now
I might take the bottom over this
I have visions from the top now
I might take the bottom over this
They stab you in the back
Smile in your face
Been trying to avoid these Freddy Kruger handshakes
See you in my nightmares your love calls pain
Told me you my brother
Yeah they say you was king
It was way more simple when I ate off brand cereal
People hit new lows when all they want is more materials
It's probably my fault I always try to see the best of people
You ain't gotta read the bible to see that we full of evil
Thought the higher up I got
That the Devil would leave me alone
Whoa oh oh oh
Giving me everything I want for exchange [?]
I have visions from the top now
I might take the bottom over this
I have visions from the top now
I might take the bottom over this
I have visions from the top now
I might take the bottom over this
I have visions from the top now
I might take the bottom over this
I tried I tried so hard so hard
I, I, I've been waiting (waiting)
I tried I tried so hard so hard
Yeah, I tried I tried so hard so hard
I tried I tried so hard so hard to come down
Down, down, come down, come down
Yeah, come down yeah woah
No I don't like the view from here
This mountain top is cloudy yeah
And everything is not as clear
This altitude starting to make me dizzy
I can't tell my friends from my enimies
I just see green the scenery is pretty
Everything is calm
Yeah everything is calm
Whoa oh oh oh

Take Off lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Canon, K.B. & Ty Brasel)
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off
Runaway, take off, take off, take off, take off
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off
[Ty Brasel:]
Clear the runway
Take flight, MJ

All things work for
My good I know
Big dreams, top flow
Eat good, combo
Just give me some time
All my life I been
Waitin' for my chance
Have patience, Young Ty, man
They want my soul and the glean
They want me switch up the team
Lucy just want my allegiance
Run in cahoots with the evils
My God, I pray
Your blessings, my way
Light beams, Kanye
You lead, Sensei
[Canon:]
Take off, get ready to go
Young Moses with the glow
I'm livin color check my skin tone
Dressed in all white like the pope
Young Joseph with the coat
Dream big 'til they hate you
We don't do it to get famous
Knock it off nah, bruh
I'm just tryna be faithful
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off

I "skirt", whip in the coupe
Don't try to walk in my shoes
I'm Superman with them tight jeans
I teach life in the booth
She say she want the guala, guala
Check, this ring on my finger, no holla
I had to leave them genies in them bottles
Found a model now I'm full throttle
Woah!
[KB:]
One way, downtown
Oh me, oh my
Sauce, sauce, Alfredo
Buckets, kango
Take off, they know
I land, Caicos
Start up then invest
Three stacks we, break out cast
Peak of the vibe
Daily I die, Cinco de Mayo
I come on down from the side
Intellectual that's quick to get with you hype
Don't go to hypin' that boy, yeah
We will not lie to that boy, yeah
We do not wait for support, no
No vultures allowed in my courts
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off
Runaway, take off, take off, take off, take off

[Derek Minor:]
Minor in the pocket
Won't you come take off with me
This United, if you blocking
We might move you out yo seat
You must be sippin' on sake
Boy, I ain't worried 'bout nobody
I know, I know that God got me
Float on this beat like a 'Rari
Wow, mane I see the devil on prowl
Yeah, he want to hold me down
He don't want me way up in the clouds
He don't want me way up in the clouds
I could never ever come down
A lot people online, tryin' to flex for a check
Always talking bout birds but it's never verified
None of my business, I just worry 'bout mine
The wave a tsunami, everybody run and hide, take off
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off
Runaway, take off, take off, take off, take off

Run in cahoots with the evils
My God, I pray

Light beams, Kanye
You lead, Sensei
[Canon:]

I "skirt", whip in the coupe
Don't try to walk in my shoes
I'm Superman with them tight jeans
I teach life in the booth
She say she want the guala, guala
Check, this ring on my finger, no holla
I had to leave them genies in them bottles
Found a model now I'm full throttle
Woah!
[KB:]
One way, downtown
Oh me, oh my
Sauce, sauce, Alfredo
Buckets, kango
Take off, they know

Start up then invest
Three stacks we, break out cast
Peak of the vibe
Daily I die, Cinco de Mayo

Intellectual that's quick to get with you hype
Don't go to hypin' that boy, yeah
We will not lie to that boy, yeah
We do not wait for support, no
No vultures allowed in my courts
Take off, take off, take off, take off, take off

[Derek Minor:]
Minor in the pocket
Won't you come take off with me
This United, if you blocking
We might move you out yo seat
You must be sippin' on sake
Boy, I ain't worried 'bout nobody
I know, I know that God got me
Float on this beat like a 'Rari
Wow, mane I see the devil on prowl
Yeah, he want to hold me down
He don't want me way up in the clouds
He don't want me way up in the clouds
I could never ever come down
A lot people online, tryin' to flex for a check
Always talking bout birds but it's never verified
None of my business, I just worry 'bout mine
The wave a tsunami, everybody run and hide, take off
Astronaut lyrics - Derek Minor (feat. Deraj & Bryon Juane)
[Derek Minor:]
I put the game on my back like a Jansport
Pay attention, you might learn more
Follow God, increase your test score
Swerve out your lane, it's a crash course
I'm in east Nash sipping lattes
Or pinewood with my padres
Planning how we bout to change the game
Undefeated in this 2k
This adversity, my university
I just learn from mistakes and become better me
I feel like greatness is my anatomy
Be mad at Jesus, that's how He crafted me
You too but you do not notice it
You too busy keep up with Jones
You too busy trying to stunt on your socials
You ain't living life like you supposed to
And I been feeling like they trying to hold me down
Hold me down yea
But every time I fall, I never touch the ground
Touch the ground yea
I keep
Blasting off like an astronaut yea, oh my gosh
Blasting off like an astronaut yea, oh my gosh
Blasting off like an astronaut yea, oh my gosh
Blasting off like an astronaut yea, oh my gosh
[Deraj:]
Look in the sky it's a bird it's a plane
Superman on the loose
On the high road or the lowest of lanes
It don't change in the booth
With a 16 bro you know I can hang
Boy I flow with a noose
Hit the stage, yeah you know what it do
RMG, yeah you already knew
I promise God is a friend of us
I don't think you want to scrimmage us
I don't think they really getting us
I don't ever plan on giving up
Every time I fall I'm getting up
On real they couldn't hold me down
So I don't know what else to talk about
You just know you need a telescope
Cause I don't think I'll ever touch the ground
I never touch the ground
[Derek Minor:]
And I been feeling like they trying to hold me down
Hold me down yea
But every time I fall, I never touch the ground

Help me watch for these bustas
Help me watch for these suckas
A lot of people say they love me
I don't really even trust 'em
They just know that I got the sauce
They won't the recipe to try and rip it off
They just trying find the secret to survive
When everybody trying to kill you off
I've been really on a mission
Took the harder way, got a couple pennies
Now I got em hot, smoking like a chimney
That ain't see it coming God as my witness
You gone have to listen, I am not finished
Lord knows all wanna do is make Him proud
But I'm finding out, half these people now
All wanna do is tear you down
They just wanna take your crown
You gon' have to get your own now
You gon' live with your choice now
I could never let you hold me down

Guess I'm learning from mistakes I made
Turning lemons into lemonade
Lemon pie, custard, and meringue
I've been cheffing up every way
Everyday, everyday
Out here selling lemon everything
Now I'm making lemon pound cake
Hallelujah, Thank You Jesus
I been learning everything is for reason
Cooking with flavor, now you get eat it
Even if you salty, still I gave you seasoning
Trying to live l the life, I can give you secret
Wash in the truth, rinse and repeat it

God said help myself
God said what you worried about
Acting like I ain't got you
Make the moves mane, shoot the shot boy
Guarantee they won't block it
I been trying to take a dead culture and revive it while the vultures nibble at the skeleton
They just trying to bottle up my melanin
They a kill a prophet to bring profit in
I can't be taking bait
I see the hook in the pond, ah yeah
I promise I'll give up this fame
Before I get trapped all in your con, ahh yeah
Where was you when I ain't have an number 1
Or when I ain't know where the money coming from
Outta here acting like my day one
You counted me out on day one
I feel like you don't like the outcome
You count the hours till I'm done
I got family to feed and they looking at me
And I'm looking to God we gone jump jump jump

Step dad used came home smelling like a trap house
My lil homie from the east blllllllldd got shot down
I will never sell out, y'all can go on keep your budget
I done kept it real from the jump, now we got it jumpin'
They look up to me and they ask how I did it
I tell em it's God and as God as my witness
I pray that my talent can give away millions
To get rid of ghettos where my people living
Where all of my children get education
And all of my cousins can stop medicating
Gotta keep moving I know we gone make it

Holding homies that challenge me from the gate, Like uh

Flash in a dash on my keyboard
Get it? I got it. I been on my level Since 9 and then put in the 7, then add it together
That's 16 in my 16

Your Soul Must Fly lyrics - Derek Minor
We all came from nothing
Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie
You were made for greatness
And if I can do it you can do it too
But your soul must fly
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
See I been to the top of the mountain
And have in my possessions things that you calling astounding Accomplished most the things I want now I'm guessing my purpose
A lot of dreams I put my worth in starting to feel worthless
Can gold plaque bring my dad back
Or some of these trophies and awards help get my people on track
Or can my Spotify streams help that cop think before he pull the trigger
I can't fix that with ten figures
Over property that we don't own, we gunning down each other
Trying to make them ends meet but that EBT don't cover
Rob, cheat, sell dope, even if that mean killing each other
Then the prison system eat off all our death just like vultures
I just call it like it is
I know that sin killing friends
Yea I know that we all see it, we don't know we'll live again
We chase the American dream for a long price
But before you die, let your soul fly
We all came from nothing
Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie
You were made for greatness
And if I can do it you can do it too
But your soul must fly
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Your soul must fly, High above the trap
By any means, what happened to your wings
What happened to your dreams
Did this world snatch 'em
You can float above it all
Why let the devil drag you
May not reach perfection but here's a valuable lesson
More money that you get, the more stressing, Big taught me that
At all times keep your head up, 'Pac taught me that
No possession on this earth can match my worth, God taught me that
In this May weather, the sun out but I'm feeling cold as December
Trying to dodge God's hand but my arms way too short to box with Him
What I mean is I been disconnected from the one that really show me how to live
I been trying to feel, I been trying to feel, I been trying to feel, I been trying to feel
I found out some friends will turn they back on you
Love of money the root of evil
How we value the talent but not value the people
Some even use God's name for money and fame
But you can never fly carrying all of those weights
We all came from nothing
Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie
You were made for greatness
And if I can do it you can do it too
But your soul must fly
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie
You were made for greatness
And if I can do it you can do it too
But your soul must fly
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
See I been to the top of the mountain
And have in my possessions things that you calling astounding Accomplished most the things I want now I'm guessing my purpose
A lot of dreams I put my worth in starting to feel worthless
Can gold plaque bring my dad back
Or some of these trophies and awards help get my people on track
Or can my Spotify streams help that cop think before he pull the trigger
I can't fix that with ten figures
Over property that we don't own, we gunning down each other
Trying to make them ends meet but that EBT don't cover
Rob, cheat, sell dope, even if that mean killing each other
Then the prison system eat off all our death just like vultures
I just call it like it is
I know that sin killing friends
Yea I know that we all see it, we don't know we'll live again
We chase the American dream for a long price
But before you die, let your soul fly
We all came from nothing
Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie
You were made for greatness
And if I can do it you can do it too
But your soul must fly
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Your soul must fly, High above the trap
By any means, what happened to your wings
What happened to your dreams
Did this world snatch 'em
You can float above it all
Why let the devil drag you
May not reach perfection but here's a valuable lesson
More money that you get, the more stressing, Big taught me that
At all times keep your head up, 'Pac taught me that
No possession on this earth can match my worth, God taught me that
In this May weather, the sun out but I'm feeling cold as December
Trying to dodge God's hand but my arms way too short to box with Him
What I mean is I been disconnected from the one that really show me how to live
I been trying to feel, I been trying to feel, I been trying to feel, I been trying to feel
I found out some friends will turn they back on you
Love of money the root of evil
How we value the talent but not value the people
Some even use God's name for money and fame
But you can never fly carrying all of those weights
We all came from nothing
Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie
You were made for greatness
And if I can do it you can do it too
But your soul must fly
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
Look At Me Now lyrics - Derek Minor
I am not supposed be here
I was not invited, I am not supposed to eat here
Table with my enemies, snacking on a beat here
I can see through every last one of y'all, so be clear
I talk about God and how we kings and he live in us
But I keep it real, that's why the goons still feeling us
Be cool dog disrespect is not the way to deal with us
Cause I can put you in your place kinda like a realtor
Got some awards on me now, got some dough on me now
Like half time, I had some friends switch goals on me now
This session, teach you a lesson if you doze on me now
On how to depend on the Lord, cause he rose in me now
I see this generation, everybody wanna be famous
Want everybody to love you, y'all wanna be Raymond
Everybody hate truth, so you gone prolly hate this
But my foundation on a rock, so I'm ok with being Chris
This world evil, it manipulate people
Like wearing a suit of armor around magneto
RMG assembled this year like the avengers
You would swear I'm Stan Lee, how I help you see the vision
We ain't got a whole lot, just a few stones trying slay a giant
In a industry that say you gotta be Goliath
Said we'd be nothing, but they lying
See my faith is in what God say, I suggest you try it, it's Minor
They said that I will never make it, look at me now
I would say that they're mistaken, look at me now
I was born broke and naked, look at me now
I pray you see the Lord's gracious, look at me now
Look here, the difference between me and you
Homie that is clear as day
You trying to make a mil, I'm trying to give one a way
You think you indestructible, I know they we made of clay
So I live life desperately, like I'm about to die today
Cause that may be my reality
In a time when black men are seeing more and more casualties
Whether bad cop or gang, I still see it a tragedy
And they upload the clips on the net, for the world to see
Just to get they click ups, they upload a beat down
Fear of being a victim make me wanna walk with heat now
But that's not the Lords will, he said advocate for peace now
Plus I'm already dead, go head and hashtag me now
This oppression is systemic, we don't see it tho
Slavery is still alive, prison is the vehicle
But we don't wanna talk about it
We just wanna share our Twitter thoughts about it
Grieve for that young man body that got chalk around it
Look me in my eyes, tell me what you see
When I look at you, I see somebody just like me
Made in the image of God, from the dust like me
Blew breath in your body from his lungs like me
See I'm trying to paint a picture with my words
That'll help you see possessions and they words are not your worth
You hearing me now, yeah you hearing now
Finally reflecting greatness boy look at you now
They said that I will never make it, look at me now
I would say that they're mistaken, look at me now
I was born broke and naked, look at me now
I pray you see the Lord's gracious, look at me now
I was not invited, I am not supposed to eat here
Table with my enemies, snacking on a beat here
I can see through every last one of y'all, so be clear
I talk about God and how we kings and he live in us
But I keep it real, that's why the goons still feeling us
