    I Don't Mind It - I don't mind this one but I think that hook might have dragged on for too long but that verse was stellar.

    Aaaaay - This is dope as h--- dude, I'd like to see less use of auto-tune and see if you can naturally find that melodic voice/delivery in the future. Very good structure as well, the song flowed very well.

    glad you liked em m8...and yeah i gotta get more confident with my own voice for sure so that im not stuck adapting such a heavy auto tune sound (which doesnt always sound good unless you mix it really well)

    8. Livin' My Life Like a Prince prod. by MadReal

    download

    im livin my life like a prince
    im livin my life like a kid

    im livin my life like a prince
    i wanted this s--- since a kid
    all of this all of this b----
    all of this all of this s---
    the constant berating from them
    the accolades, ladies, and drinks
    poppin’ a bottle on whim
    snortin a line w/ SWIM
    of course then we’re fiendin’ a hit
    maybe a bar or a half to be safe
    my mama keep texting me lately, so i
    know that i have to be safe
    i know i am armed with the goddess of fate
    my grandpapa had died on this day
    his liver was blacker than gray
    more so morals, they white as this yay
    informal with time as they say
    you can only live in the moment, today
    you can own it and mold it like clay
    clone it and loan it to them
    they wanna decode what i have to say
    i wanna be bolder than midas was trained
    controlling my touch cause its rigged
    to turn you to gold like my wrist

    im livin my life like a prince
    im livin my life like a kid

    all of this that i had did
    i did it for qualities missed
    all of this that i had did
    i did it against all their wishes

    im living my life king, king, king, king, king king
    im lost in the stars im so far im on mars im on bars i go harder than them
    im tossed all my guards out the car i aint armed but im comin to swing
    id love to meet you in the space
    between our planet and skies they erased
    i never believed in a heaven
    since my dad lost his job for no reason
    i think that i might have been seven
    i promised him i would show reverence
    severing all of my ties now
    got me feeling like i owe them something
    several sedatives swishing
    goin str8 down my throat i dont listen
    im reclusive im hiding im hidden
    im livin my life like a legend
    seldom do they see me venting
    but im stressing inside i need welding
    the pressure the pressure keeps building
    your smile as precious as children
    you’re innocent sensitive different
    im militant meant to be missing
    Erasing my past like a christian
    caressing the a--- of a virgin
    for a second i thought i absolved it
    ill barter with satan im sure of it

    im livin my life like a prince
    im livin my life like a kid

    i bought all this all of this s---
    just so i could show them im it
    i never knew any of this
    when i was alone as a kid
    my sister was sharpening wits
    i was just harping on hits
    karma is a such a lil b----
    now i keep sniffing got drips
    talking to walls when i binge
    throwing up over the sink
    sure enough all of this s---
    makes me feel like im still just a kid
    but im livin my life like a prince
    planning for when im a king
    probably one of the first tracks i worked on for this tape...not really a fan of how the hook came out in the end but its probably one of the strongest overall tracks on the project. i remember @Jet saying the verses were actually relatively straightforward/easy to follow for once lmao.

    download

    Everything I'm doing, do it, do it for the man
    All I all I ever wanted was a wish to be the man
    Got it, blew it, like a g---
    Off a couple hunnit xans
    I'm the man
    Boi u lil like a gram
    Boi u lil like my grams

    I got problems but they past
    Way
    Tell karma imma alive
    cloud nine
    High

    I'm runnin away w the plug in my hand
    Like I'm a kid and it's punishment time
    Sometimes I wish that I never did rhyme
    subconscious exists but it's stuck in inside
    I wanna just let out let it go pride
    My mama said menthols don't ease a clean mind
    dirty I need them so hurry w tithes
    drinkin the ethanol edit the skies
    I wanna sing carefree who cares if they right
    I wanna just stop
    chasing the life
    May be the Sprite
    May be the spite
    I'm hatin the skies
    I ate till I die
    I'm late all the time on my way to a crime

    Bought me a roley so time is expansive this time
    I'm losing the vibe
    Ration
    don't abuse all the lines
    Patient
    Who's gonna sign
    Greatness
    this kid to the lime
    Fated

    Everything I'm doing, do it, do it for the man
    All I all I ever wanted was a wish to be the man
    Got it, blew it, like a g---
    Off a couple hunnit xans
    I'm the man
    Boi u lil like a gram
    Boi u lil like my grams

    I got problems but they past
    karma imma imma alive
    I'm safe on cloud nine
    got here sighin I'd surmise
    That u eyein for the prize
    Too
    But u lil Like my grams
    So I doubt u understand
    I'm the man
    there's been too much talking today, so no lil blurb for this one. just listen. :emoji_thumbsup:

    I like it. Your voice here is a good middle-ground between your eccentric and normal voice.

    Was a good listen.

    Also condolences on the L you took today. :ashgray:

    10. Off the Boat prod. by TheBeatPlug

    download

    Sorry Ive been slacking with this because of finals, but im back with the last few tracks. On one hand, this track is straight forward, with how simple the hook is, but its also one of the more experimental joints on the project because of the 2nd verse and how its mixed to sound like im literally underwater. The reception to this one has been split so far, so I look forward to hearing what you guys think.
    hook:
    I came off the boat
    I'm fresh off the boat

    Ain't TALKIN bout trapping but came off the boat
    Came off the boat, I'm fresh off the boat

    verse 1:
    Ain't TALKIN bout trapping but I came off the boat
    My wrist, my wrist she helped to float
    My ice my vice it got me by throat
    I was like 5 aware of no more
    Swept off my porch and into a coach
    Flew to the states and washed up on shore
    I'm constantly cornered by all the allure
    Sometimes I wonder what my parents saw
    Saw in this world saw in this land
    They saw them a pearl inside of a clam
    I've seen it unfurl I don't like where we stand
    Minorities might as well be in demand
    Cuz we are the reason the seasons survive
    Tossed like the seeds planted for mead
    But needed reprise to align w their needs
    But they didn't see what we had unleashed
    We weren't they're beasts
    We found our peace
    And now I ride beats
    In every country
    Culinary
    Chef curri kinda scary
    Mess w me U gettin buried
    Yes that means I'm legendary
    Bet u seem all kindas of wary
    Aware that my air of allegations may b
    A reason why I am so bold and baring
    My soul for taking

    hook:
    I came off the boat
    I'm fresh off the boat

    Ain't TALKIN bout trapping but came off the boat
    Came off the boat, I'm fresh off the boat

    verse 2:
    Im lost in a land i aint been in before
    my mama was worried we wouldn’t be home
    i lowered my self to the pit with my soul
    and traded it whole so that we control…

    control all our goals
    so that we could grow old
    grow old and not fold
    so that we had a way we could break out the mold

    im Searchin my soul for their takin im told
    i feel ancient im holdin my patience for patients now beyond alone
    im lost in my zone
    im stuck in this mold
    nothing is gold
    or so im told
