Intro 03:08
This is just the intro dont you think too much about it This for all of yall who love the boy and for those of yall that doubted  This a humble propersition give a fuck about who listen  This a modern Dissertation of an ego on a mission Oh wow so you hear me now,  took a little while Pop a peacoat with the sneakers yea I got a different style I be Fornicating flows see me walkem down the aisle  You know I Keep these lines in order they be moving single file  I got this,  Fear of missin out, fear of fittin in Im just speakin out now tell me Are you listenin Flow like fiji water so this track is glistenin Poppin off a project and this is the christenin  I be stayin by the lake you know the michigan burnin through these tracks im on a roll like michlein  Hotter than the summer with no air conditionin  My only fear is missing out Ill never miss again  I got Visions Comin True You aint  Really Gott a  Clue  Me and Krypto Makin Moves Frontpage You can  Check the  News Back in the spot with these tracks that I got Im free crank me like a jack in a box You can't see me I just heat seek drop you 6 feet You dead in a box I do this daily, breakin them records im smashin shit crazy,  once in a while I uber mercedes to noodles while dating exuberant ladies with poodles im cooler than bueller no schoolin me baby, im tracy mcgrady but I am not lazy, I do this at will, im like your bills, you dont gotta love me but you gotta pay me, ahead of my time like I was born in the 80s, drippin with sauce like im covered in gravy, trust im a savage so dont try to play me. All this fire is inspired by the life that im livin State to state n gate to gate im boarding like scottie pippen I got stamps up in my passport man this aint nothin new Gettin hostile out in hostels from Japan to Peru This all started with the homies kickin bars in the civic, bumpin weezy blowin beezys before the windows were tinted, was an only child before I met the fam that I claim, they said this is my Cousin Vinny, you gon remember the name.

Mic Check 02:40
It only started about a day ago Dey he go Soundin like some tracks thats doin stacks up on the radio Gettin real progressive with the rates im just quotin flo I just gotta go, got my suit on, im ready for the show Its a showdown, ill give you the lowdown, intense intelligence  on the loose like mr snowdon, Alright holdon, these lines must be stolon Think we need a break let me hit the semi colon I don't take no days off, this is my playoff, until this shit payoff, Im turnin jobs down yall stay getting laid off Building pyramids I aint talkin about madeoff Made off in a coo whip, with a couple girls they on point like a pool stick Walkin down the halls yea you hear how those shoes click,  wanna be my cinderella well how do the shoes  fit. Man I just do this, Head up in the clouds I dont know where the roof is, He was a nice dude how he get so ruthless Steppin to the boy how yall get so foolish? Im the type of rapper that be extra dapper, just in case the situations calling for a Helicopter Im james bond, and im real fond, Of sippin on some black on the rocks with limon Come here son, imma show youcouple things you aint used to An MC spitting shits rarer than mewtwo Yall need helmets, for when I break hell loose Dont make me mad before I get bruce. Banner, More bars than a slammer Houdini with the sleeves got more cards than a scammer  Feelin like fidel got cigars in Havana, Jeans skinny like designer with no broads in atlanta. I am too hot to handle  Snitches will end up with stitches like randall (Recess) I just lead by example Flow too heavy make you sink like an anvil I got handles in sandals Cross you over quick watch you fall in your flannel Damn daniel cousin vinny break them ankles  Watch you hit the deck make you wanna change the channel. Switch!

I take a second of my day to pray  For all my people who be trying but aint gettin their way Tryna make it to tomorrow, but they aint promised today Out there livin on the bench while they dyin to play How can happiness turn into sorrow, How can happily ever after just end tomorrow What happens when humanity forgets to follow the line, wild by design, the power is so divine, we all one of a kind,  Dopey state of mind keep your soul numb Tap water make your brain dumb I cant hear you is you sayin some? Everybody mumblin stumbln Nobody humble they bluffin About the pockets they stuffin Out here knuckin and buckin Drinkin goose and they duckin  Somebody gotta do something,  Before there's nothin to save Before we all become slaves We re just out here diggin our graves Instead of pointing the blame We need to sit down and pray One by one they bring us down Another war was born today  We watch the throne and fear the crown I pray one day we ll all be saved One by one they bring us down Another war was born today  We watch the throne and fear the crown I pray one day we ll all be saved Feel it in my body incredible citizen I play to win I read my fortune on this wheel im bout to spin It said you might not have the antidote, but half these lines are highly woke, recitin and enlighten tiny minds like a gaddafi quote I spit poetic rhetoric that make the devil quit Leave you under loads of sediment now your value sentiment We hold these truths to be so evident but miss the consequence,  Who needs a leader if all we lookin for are dead presidents Turn of the tv off turn off the surrenda Hopelessly stuck Put yo brain in a blenda Cold like the winta Dont let your brain freeze Read between the lines theres more than what your naked eyes see Even Stevie wonders why yall wanna be blind I guess this ignorance is bliss  Until you see the divine Asleep like bo peep with sheep yall stay For America I drop to one knee and just pray

First thing first girl hold up imma need your name Imma need your number, gotta play these games see this spell im under, is a magical thing, I can tell you're in an angel, why don't you spread them wings, Im sorry, I know im coming off strong, but you're looking so right girl, its gotta be wrong, So I figure if I write you a song, we can skip all the bullshit, and move this along Truth is, I'll probably never get to know you, met you in my dreams and thats where I'll get to hold you Are you really here or is this an illusion, you got me eyes open heart open while im snoozin Excuse me, im loosely induced by the way you seduce me, girl you should choose me Why dont you come kick it like bruce lee, I swear to god babe I'll love you like Lucy Or we can just go our own ways, forget I ever met you in a couple of days I guess thats how these stories are told, what else did I expect from a city so cold? Oh I wish that I knew What happened  to you  We started to vibe  dancing in line Oh I wish that I knew That our love is true I started to see Youve fallen for me Oh I wish that I knew I wish that I knew Wish That. I Could Love You too.  Ill be thinkin of you I wish that I knew I met her at the light, she was lookin right,  In some tights, wonderin if she might,  put me  In her life,  She thought twice, looked me up and down and said aight ill bite  I cant promise you tomorrow but ill be on your arm tonight Take me to a place where I can see the stars Flashin in the night sky, not flashin in their cars We set out to see the point of no return  No troubles or concern, sat back and let it burn Grabbed a cab to some jazz downtown Rhythm hit her body watched the walls come down Room full of people but theres no one around  All i see is a queen, halo for her crown. I know that we just met but im aint tired of you yet Now I think im falling for you but that wasnt my intent Stepped outside for some air not a care in the world  Grabbed her hips while lockin lips she was my favourite girl She said I hate to leave like this just as our story unfolds  I have a flight real late at night  im headed out to Lisboa  Say youll miss me in the morning member me with this rose  One day our paths might cross again see you round I suppose  Oh I wish that I knew What happened  to you  We started to vibe  dancing in line Oh I wish that I knew That our love is true I started to see Youve fallen for me Oh I wish that I knew I wish that I knew Wish That. I Could Love You too.  Ill be thinkin of you I wish that I knew

Trophy 04:10
Baby you could be my trophy lemme try and win you over Admired from afar and im just tryna hold you closer Youre all ill ever need after you I might retire I hope youll never tire of these lines that youve inspired  But the problem with these trophies is deep down they all the same, Mostly plastic painted gold Reward for playin all these games I know im the one to blame for chasing trophies But ill be damned if I give up before you know me Scuse me lady in the front I dont really mean to front I just saw you from the front  And I thought id try to stunt We could move dis to the back You can bounce and bring it back I could hit it from the back Make it sound like easy mac Pull them vickys to the side Let em slip and let me slide I just need you by side Sittin shotty in my ride I could spit another line Talk about you being fine You keep thinkin that im lyne Spend the time to make you mine Girl I wish that I knew you better than I do  Swear its true Cause these tracks my open letters I  hope you love em like I do Sometimes rhymes the only way to tell a dime im feelin you  Cause you make a muthafucka wanna go and get the moon Ill be back in a second I gotta take an excedrin You keep on drivin me crazy But imma make an exception Green eyes  thick thighs  hips wide hope I Might find you on  your side Of your bed in the morning, im bout to scurry off quick Dont fall in love when im horny thats when i think with my ___  But theres something about the way that you handle your shit Girl you hotta than fashionova and you workin that fit Ill see you round I suppose As long nobody knows  About this fatal attraction  That I just Wrapped up in flows  We keep on playin these games Which i must say girl are strange  Why dont we call it a truce And lemme get in your lane Now im takin off to come and break you off Girl I know that thing is soft  Lemme put you in a loft  Or a condo with some condiments you know I got the sauce Take a shower with these compliments  Let these flows just dry you off I can feel she got that realness  flowin in her DNA,  Takin classes hope she passes tryna  be a CNA  Countin stacks and taking taxes she could Be a CPA But she ballin on a budget she still ride the CTA  Got a body like a rocket baby property of NASA got that money on the books like it was comin in from FAFSA Maybe we could run away be on our happy ever after Aint no tarrifs at the chapel trading vows just like its NAFTA You can be the rachel to my ross Be more than just a friend Catchin feelings like its randy moss But you leaving me on read In terms of words baby im at a loss if we could just pretend Need it bad I dont care what it cost Im with it till the end Baby you could be my trophy lemme try and win you over Admired from afar and im just tryna hold you closer Youre all ill ever need after you I might retire I hope youll never tire of these lines that youve inspired But the problem with these trophies is deep down they all the same, Mostly plastic painted gold Reward for playin all these games I know im the one to blame for chasin trophies But the problem is im tryna get like kobe If winnin is a sin I'll be sinnin in to the end See me workin I make sure my trophies cozy

Heartbeat 03:17
You still be driving me crazy,  You cross my mind on the daily  But you aint been calling me lately Girl Ive been wondering maybe  No doubt something must of changed Some shit just got rearranged Damn yo ass got engaged? I must say im amazed But this aint attempt to persuade More like a chance to explain The jumbled thoughts on my brain So please dont take these in vain I picked them out just for you I wrapped it up just for you  Before I bid you adieu  Know you remember it too The type of shit we used to Do when we hopped out of school I was just actin a fool  Guess I was tryna be cool You were so bad it was cruel Remember talkin at night Makin up after fights You know you started it right But then you turned off the light Somehow it all went away  Remember it like yesterday These memories never fade Forever in your heartbeat Forever in your heartbeat Ill think about you sometime Inspire a couple of lines About the days that we had But shortie now im just glad That you found you a man I always wish you the best Had to get this off my chest Cause all I can see is you Shining like a star I admire you from afar I remember who you are Septemba baby fosho Tried my best to keep it short And sweet like you. I think its finally time for me to close the book on you.

Legacy 08:01
Its just me the green the balcony, Apologize for apathy Riddled with these question marks Testing out my sanity My only fear is missing out Theres no place I rather be Irrational and casual Fuel for this catastrophe  I got a lot on my mind can you hear it? Feel my spirit? Smoke cant clear it! lets make one thing clear you should fear it  You could look into my eyes and youd never come near it Built ford tough so I assemble these lines damn Land mines  Swear they hit home every time Like sosa with the bat they hit home every time Like barry with the bat they hit home everytime Some times im just blind to the signs that remind me that im just a mime with a mind made for rhyming Focused on whats next im beyond whats behind me. Thank you kindly Im out here tryna find me, hidden in these letters n words, I craft these melodies from memories that haven't occured, But these dreams don't like to wait up, gone soon as I wake up, So watch me takin action with elaborate verbs I got my nerves from my father yea he came a long way, from a life with no lights to the US of A Man My pops the only reason that im livin this way, made a sacrifice and rolled the dice, price ill never repay My momma is an angel n where I get my heart from Used to tell me I could be who I want from day 1 said it doesnt matter what you do long as its your best Every problem got solutions son this life is a test You ever have these moments that feel real important? Like its your shot against the clock that96 Jordan That fear of missing out I feel it in my soul I Feel it when im cold Feel it when im bold Lose it with my bowl Some things in life I swear are outta my control These stories of the glory coldest story ever told One day ill be the topic of the stories that they scroll Passed by wholly loads of lonely stoners as they roll Cousin vinny is, Half man half ego Do no justice, see no evil More than meets the eye hidden deep in the cerebral Start of something new, like the end of the prequel Only way to lose is to quit, Lookin for perfection yea I know I aint it I guess this stressin is a blessin Finessin is distressin these suggestions of obsession with limited comprehension of the tension of you reachin an age, where you either livin happy or just chasin a wage, if moneys roots are all evil why we tryna get paid? We dont care what people think well who we tryna persuade? They say the key to longevity is taking a risk About How long before your legacy just cease to exist Thats why I put my heart and soul in beats n rhymes The  only form of art I know that truly trancends time Cause In a hundred years a new pair of ears, could hear all my fears, celebrate my victories, understand my tears, marvel at my misery, This a souviner, from the mind of cousin Vinny, a gift to you so sincere, a story for your ears long after I disappear ---- Damn Vinny, followed through this time, you really put this shit together all on your own dime? You really wrote this whole album, every rhyme every line? Man im really proud of you maybe ill listen sometime Maybe one day ill actually play the whole thing through, maybe one day ill come to the little shows that you do, Maybe I can take a sec n help you catch your big break Hold up! Did yall hear the new Drake! (Ayy that new Drizzy tho, this shit on repeatt, gotta hurry up and post this shit to my story, get this on my playlistt,  yo I gotta get everyone on this ASAP, "ay you hear that new drake tho? Shit lit fam! That boy can do no wrong, song of the year right here! SIX GOD, SIX GODDD.  *sigh*  All I ask is that you give me a chance, so I can be known as the rapper hella dapper and love my city like chance. theres a lot more where this came from and im tryin my best, but without yall pushin for me this just sits on my chest.  If you love me half as much as you all do to my face, and you tell a friend who tells a friend who shares on their space, it could be just all I need to make this dream come true, it means everything to me its just a story to you. I try my best to keep it humble and just smile through it all, but it hurts when all this work barely gets noticed at all. I understand that I  aint really poppin just yet, but you gotta fly economy before you fly jets. That being said I aint got no regrets, my only fear was missing out and I put that to rest. Whether you love me or you hate me if you made it this far, just know that im fuckin with you all whoever you are.
