Green Balloon: As a person starts achieving success
Greed begins inflating a person ego craving more attention 
Burning more bridges and ruining more relationships 
Until the pressure from their situation builds up and they ultimately explode
Or the envy as they see the next man seemingly doing better than their selves
A person becomes more and more infatuated in living a life 
That's not their own frustrated with their own situation
Their ego deflates from comparing yourself to the next man 
Even though the next man's situation in reality is not all that it appears...
Over the next 7 songs, I'll tell you a story speaking from first 
And third person experiences throughout my life and from people around me...
RIP Donna Johnson... this is my warning

Now It's been a long road
Yes lawd its been a long road to get this far
And I played a few shows 
And I shook some hands and earned some scars 
I made some fans and I made some fam 
Killed some beats and rocked with bands
Lost some friends and lost some time
Sometimes wish I could rewind 
Back to when it all began 
Back to the start of the plan
Back to when I was just a young man with a pen in his hand 
Till it Jammed for all the words he crammed 
God damn those were simpler times
Playing shows out my basement just to shine
Setting up closet booths to rhyme 
Spamming facebook with my grind
Just to earn my respect 
Just to boost my rep
Just to to earn a check someday as proof to my family with this gift I was blessed to make it 
Destined for greatness 
F*ck all of this fake shit
I'm showing the world me and my flaws so thanks for your patience 
As this albums starts I wanna say
I just wanna say
I thank you for pressing play
For pressing play
And someday we'll be worldwide 
But for now we local
See it with your own eyes 
Put on the bifocals 
But what happens when you get to big and you lose your way 
And The people who were here before have gone away
And its your fault, you pissed em off 
Just f*ck you's and so longs when feeling complete is long gone 
And you hit the stage with swan songs saying 
Why oh why oh why oh why am I so lonely 
Everybody know my name but they don't know me
I don't show any love, f*ck a homie 
All I want are these hos and that money 
Living life like rappers do 
Yea that image do seem cool 
But that image ain't so vivid if you knew the stories with it 
If you chase that life, you catch it
Better hope that you well rested 
Sacrifice your whole life, hope you don't regret it
That's my message cause these 
These green balloons a trip, greed and envy boost egos 
Get that money get that money 
Nigga F*ck these other people 
That's your stelo till you max out
Now what to show for it
You ain't rich cause you keep the club pourin'
Think more important  something with some substance 
As I sip another substance in abundance cause these kids they f*ck with addicts it's dramatic 
And its tragic that it's got this bad
But that's the way it goes 
Thinking real live is what they see in videos 
Oh here we go
Thinking that's it's cool to run the streets 
Facebook live'n with your piece 
Spent a check just to be a hypebeast
Man please that shit is played out
Shit don't even matter
Between being BMF and investing bread I'd rather choose the latter 
Pitter patter of a few kids, a wife and a kittens but for now 
I'll make a killing off these writtens that I've been spitting and the killing part is I'm good at it
Me with a pen is like magic 
Hogwarts'n the beats
Harry Potter but I'm more savage 
I'm toe tagging these flows
And I'm taxing for the shows
All the progress over time I've I've made it on the low
I put my team on my back, and next is my city
From the D to the Lanti got people fucking with me
Cool with hipsters and hood niggas 
Scholars and scholars and drug dealers 
Doctors and the trigger man that put em in the hospital 
Not boasting I'm staying facts
Get to know me through these tracks 
Until I get my word across 
I can never stay lax 
From the moment out the womb
Until I hit my tomb
Imma paint the World with my war wounds 
More coming soon
If These green balloons inflate 
And if that ends up my fate
You can never say that I was a ever fake
