Verse 1 Day dreaming of a pleasant summer breeze  Where the flowers attracting the bees and you and me  Having sundaes basking in golden sun rays My rhymes simple as abcs  Silly words fly out the page and there’s no way  I’d tell you how I feel cause it makes no sense I’d rather coalesce than confess and drown in regrets Still tryna avoid repeating old mistakes I guess there’s no stakes when we’re miles away But she made it clear on where she stays So it’s best I delay my future heartbreaks And go on dates with girls replaced by more girls I don’t touch base after third base But now I’m in a confused place Tumbling for my paper chase but losing focus on these hoes Numb when they be stripping off they clothes Cause I’m still stuck on her and I doubt she knows New city new love looking for cherry blossoms Surrounded by mountains, I ain’t even supposed to make a more of em And I know she not mi amor but it feels like it You know the type of shit that make you wanna sing on it Verse 2 Endless summer the pavement hot A skinny boy hitting the restart button Planning on stunting, there's no more reason to be running Learning new lessons on some independent shit Putting my first year in high gear Failed a class almost confronting my worst fear Is this route built for me, is it made for me No familiarity but a way to make my currency But I was practicing on my speech therapy Just to talk to couple of girls at a couple of parties Laughing with the homies while I'm sipping on Bacardi And shawty was willing to share her number to get more than flirty Throwing innuendoes she ask if I'll enter her pearly gates Thirsty for hoes till I'm stuck in limbo and I erase em After a couple of dates, a couple of days And I'm back on my bullshit in my stupidest ways But don't believe I'll be staying down in my hometown Cause I'm searching for me in a bigger city where I can grow now And don't think I won't find my crown now for Young Adi still finding ways to be King now

Verse 1 I don’t got no haters, I don’t got no doubters I’m tryna go further than my peers  Oiling up my gears I should have no fear Desire to keep the flame growing and glowing Go outer space cause I’m not slowing This never been easy we elbowing forward Scoring goals while breaking ankles and leave you slaughtered I need to get louder so the scouts can hear me tower over rappers  Nobody leaving you flowers for you in ya graveyard  I’m in somebody’s radar I used to be walking on the boulevard of broken dreams The loneliest road of surest fiends I’m not questioning my relevancy Cause I’m not even sure who I’m supposed to be Listening off of Madlib beats when I hit a block Listening to Blu when I need the board to chalk Stay jotting round the clock round the block like I sleepwalk Less than $3 sitting in my bank  I’m nowhere close to the top of mont blanc If there was no backup plan I’d be walking off the plank, so light up the gas tank  And let me multiply my cash and update the stash Chorus I’ve been working hard like a motherfucker I’m my own boss tryna build my world Word is the illest rapper's here and I ain’t going nowhere Check the calendar bitch I’ll be here every year   Verse 2  Never been easy We stay dedicated till we floating like genies Losing all weight  But the bars staying on my plate Climbing the ladder avoiding the snakes While many be grabbing for sour grapes  Ima make the best tapes and score all the sweepstakes And all the girls with sweet cakes Ain’t no brakes when we hitting the bed Place the crown on top of my head Ain’t no brakes when I’m hitting the fame Till the people know my nickname I’m tryna make the world know me Cooking records while the homies root and cheer Only in first gear  As I try make green as an engineer And don’t lose my honesty to selfish greed And flourish my dreams in all zealous needs And every MC better protect they neck  From samurai killers like me

Pray to God that I turn to be a good soul No stopping now I’m on cruise control Born in the space city with good dreams Before the world assassinated my self esteem Now I’m steady climbing ready to whoop some ass Unpredictable like jazz Can’t wait to pay my own ticket to first class Travel the world I’m a world-class Don’t be crass with me the fact is I'm waxing the greatest there is to be I’m braggy no baggage call the cabbie  Steal the driver from the caddy in the hole like a birdie And now she want her Ds signed with a sharpie Snapchatting selfies showing off to her hen party Thirsty for curvy hoes how ridiculous can I be But bitches come and go (You know that) Money come and go (You know that) Love come and go (Don’t shit last) Bitches come and go Pray the hardest that I never let go Gotta make sure I adjust and set the tone There’s no stakes in here with a nobody rapper Till I’m buzzing like a bumblebee this the first chapter I've had weight on my mind but now I finally feel free to set all aside (colismind) This world twisted, but you know I’m with it They won’t acquit me for my sins, I gotta slide with it A sly nigga with some great intentions But this world is tryna tempt me, so I jump inside the tinted and get ready for some action Everybody always tryna get the camera’s flashing Moving low key, but I got a taste for high fashion All black fitted, with my baddie in the backseat Calling up my bros, because family don’t do texting Say I got the keys, and the world is our backstreet I was tryna eat, while still waiting on my blessings Even in my sleep, all I dreamt about was breakfast Thinking to myself someday I’d find a way to exit Nightmares on my street always made for quick lessons I’m just tryna have some good dreams

Chorus I am the next gen The next winner Winner chicken dinner Go toe to toe with the giants I am defiant Let loose like a tyrant Starting a riot Silence my enemies  I’ll kill like lions King with a trident Tougher than diamond  Leave you lost on an island Simon says you better be hiding  Verse 1 You really wanna test my patience We proceeding with violence Don’t be complacent I’m arriving Sucker punch quicker than lightening Sweet dreams now picture me the titan Escaping from Tartarus on a murderous rampage Waiting to blow up and turn to the next page This the dog fight dodging motherfuckers' false plight Coming in with rage of a dog bite Flow irregular bitch I’m your executioner looking to cut off your jugular Sword in my hand I’m a warrior Balling with a Spalding knock you out like Giannis swinging at Harden Guarantee I’m shooting for the MVP Swinging for the fences till I’m in limousines  Till record labels be asking my business What I gotta do in order to see success Having the world’s best calling me the best Pulling at the Grammys as best dressed Nah fuck them suits they ain’t shit  Verse 2 Going Slim Shady on these bitches Plenty ammunition when I’m burning bridges  If I ever sing I’m bringing these hoes  Viscous a playa I’m chatting with too many locos  Smooth talk when I’m on the mic I rap with aggression Curry inspiration cooking in the kitchen Hot peppers down your throat stitching up your lips  Drowning in the fire while a firefighter playing with gasoline and a lighter Liar liar throat on fire You’d be wiser never mess with a tiger Rambling just practicing my shots as a sniper

(Adi) Last winter I dropped forever working title Forever working on being rival to my idols I know I'm bringing a small tidal I know I’ll be winning when I’m selling large vinyls Going viral on my best art  While all the Miami models be asking can I be your sweetheart And they telling an artist gotta make it to the charts A kick start to selling albums like a la carte Fall short, you just another rapper Fall short, you just another rapper Call you underrated forever climbing a rope ladder But the numbers don’t matter College degree in the pocket of my jeans  No reason for me to never fill my platter Music's just another way to capture All of my thoughts and disasters And you are part of my chapter And when I’m with the boys, it’s all about laughter Separate ways we're planning out our days Day by day we tryna make through the maze Lasting bruises on our faces now slowly go away Slowly go away Separate ways we're planning out our days Day by day we tryna make through the maze Lasting bruises on our faces now slowly go Now slowly go (JusLegacy) Adi called me up like Legacy, “How do you deal with the extra things?” I say I don’t have the recipe Music is constantly testing me And my exes keep on texting me Needed to move on to better things Why meddle with destiny? I try to keep my desires in silence the money, the problems, the violence, the failure, the timing And patience a part of the process You got me? I, gotta level with you when a lot is headed to you and feeling like nobody is listening or messing with you and the dude that carried the beef just won’t dead it with you got you staring in the mirror like wait am I the issue? Worked on my pride, inside, the lies I tell myself time and time to rise this past December Don’t ask me why when I survived the trials of mine in stride in time the last couples winter Music's just another way to capture All of my thoughts and disasters All of my pain in a passage  All of my change in the chapters Separate ways we're planning out our days Day by day we tryna make through maze Lasting bruises left upon our face, now slowly go Now slowly go (Adi) Separate ways we're planning out our days Day by day we tryna make through the maze Lasting bruises on our faces now slowly go Now slowly go

about

NEVER BEEN EASY. Just a few words about it. This EP’s a collection of moments with doses of storytelling, frustrations and braggadociousness. Easily my best produced songs.

Juggling music with my priorities and motivation has been a struggle. Feels like life might be moving a lil too fast that I haven’t had time to do any reflection. But I’m learning to ignore the bullshit and keep the flame growin and glowin.

A lot of new waters I’m swimming in this remaining year. Gonna be back in Seattle, finally living on my own and buildin my own world. I hope y’all are satisfied with this while I refocus a lil. Thank you to colismind and JusLegacy for being the illest. Thank you to everyone who’ve been listening & sharing!
