[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Sunny day, feeling good feeling great
Feels like everything’s about to go my way
I’m ‘bout to make it rain, because I just got paid
So we can party all night and then come home late
It’s just another day, feeling good feeling great
Feels like everything’s about to go my way
I’m ‘bout to make it rain, because I just got paid
So we can party all night and then come home late
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
I’m just riding through the Bay listening to Sana G
Thinking to myself ‘this is where I wanna be’
Sun shining, you can feel the summer breeze
And that’s the type of ish that makes you never wanna leave
You know it’s me, soon as I hit the scene
See I remember back when it was all just a dream
I was making tracks in my basement at 17
Now I’m sitting first class on a flight to Philippines
And after that we gon’ hit the booth
‘Cause it’ Friday, and you ain’t got ish to do (true!)
Man you know we always spit the truth
And plant seeds, because out future is the youth
It’s the ‘Funk Soul Brother Institute’
And making music that we love is what we’re here to do
So if you’re ever feeling bad and the weather is crummy
Just play this track and take it back to where the weather is sunny, yo
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]

[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 2]
Windows down, 85 degrees Fahrenheit
Hop inside, we bout to take a trip to paradise
Catch a flight to where the weather is very nice
And you can chill without a worry or a care in sight
I need a place to relax my mind
Sit back and watch the waves crash just to pass the time
‘Cause peace is something that I have to find
Excuse me, bartender, can you pass the limes?
Yo, come on everybody put your ones in the sky
Get live, even though it’s only 1:45 in the afternoon
‘Bout to blast some tunes
Fire up the grill y’all we ‘bout to act a fool
‘Cause today, there ain’t nothing that you have to do
So on the way over make sure to grab some brews
We do it all for the love y’all, never the money
Just play this when the weather is sunny

[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
Let’s go, back with the force of thousand men
Cop the new album for less than a thousand yen
And vibe to it, cruise in your ride to it
Ain’t nobody else that can do it like I do it kid
See I ain’t the type to pull them things out,
But when I kick a rhyme it might just blow your brains out
A lot of rap is wack, I ain’t calling names out
They fell off, kinda funny, ain’t it strange how
Money changes situation
Flip and rearrange the whole equation
I’m so ill with it they can’t even deal with it
Won’t stop ‘til my crew number one in the nation
Ayo, I don’t really think they know who they up against
Anytime Amerigo & Po linkin up again (facts)
It’s guaranteed, solid, 10 out of 10
Go head, share it, blog it, tell a couple friends
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
One time for the people in front, gettin’ crunk
Here to give you what you want
One time for the people in the back
Hands up, let me see you, where you at?
And one time for the people on the side
Looking shy, is you really trying to vibe?
And one time for the haters
And anybody whoever said that we’d never make it
Napoleon Da Legend: Verse 2]
Out for the bag and a mountain of cash
We out back, in the yard and we counting the stash
The early bird’ll get the worm, so we learned to be fast
Cause the last shall be the first and the first shall be last
Catch whiplash, when you see the whip drive past
They heard the last album I dropped they quit that fast
We some dream chasers switch up my street got new neighbors
Every other week we dropping a new flava
True playa for real, ask somebody who knows
I got name that rings bells with somebody you know
That was a style for last year, now I got a new flow
Was in the rear now I’m stepping at the front of the row
Known as the incredible phenomenal king
Never playing small games I ain’t time for these things
We master plan it mash planet we outlandish
Stamp it, seal it and brand it, I’m a champion
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
One time for the people in front, gettin’ crunk
Here to give you what you want
One time for the people in the back
Hands up, let me see you, where you at?
And one time for the people on the side
Looking shy, is you really trying to vibe?
And one time for the haters
And anybody whoever said that we’d never make it
Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 3]
It ain’t even a question man they already know
Every single mic that I touch turns into gold
I don’t ever hold a grudge or wish death to my foes
I just show ‘em to the door like when the register closed
Yo, don’t let it hit ya where the sun don’t shine
Sometimes you gotta let go of folks and cut those ties
I love music and I do it with the upmost pride
Now get live, let me hear you say it one more time
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
One time for the people in front, gettin’ crunk
Here to give you what you want

Keep In Touch

[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
Before I forget, there’s some sh*t need to get off my chest
Had a lot of ups and downs, had a lot of regrets
Had a lot of close calls, lost a lot of my friends
I’ll leave a roadmap for those who want to follow my steps
It all started in Music City, where the story begins
Cashville, I was born around a quarter to ten
If I could rewind time and fast forward events
I’d go back and tell everybody to hold onto what’s important to them
‘Cause it could all be gone an instant
So we remain close even though we long distance
And I hope I get to see you on Christmas
‘Cause it’s been far too long since we kicked it
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
I’m real sorry if we haven’t been speaking much
I’m working hard and I haven’t been sleeping much
Next time I’m in town maybe we could meet for lunch?
I hope you’re doing well fam, keep in touch
I’m real sorry if we haven’t been speaking much
I’m working hard and I haven’t been sleeping much
Next time your in town maybe we could meet for lunch?
I hope you’re doing well, yo keep in touch
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 2]
Sup fam, been a minute since we kicked it last
Sorta brings me back, like the ghost of Christmas past
Or skipping class and the Donut Den spitting raps
Joking on each other like you ‘old broke looking ass’
Damn I miss those days
But now we all grown up, aint that sh*t so cray?
Yo I heard you got one on the way
What about me? I might settle down one of these days
But right now, I’m trying to live it, and love it a lie
Thankful everyday I wake up with the sun in the sky
I can’t complain (nah), it’s been a wonderful ride
And it ain’t over yet, I’m trying to take it one step at a time
So don’t be mad if I forget to reply
It’s just ‘cause I’ve been busy in the lab perfecting my rhymes
I know I haven’t been keeping up as much as I like
But life gets in the way, man you know what it’s like
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
I’m real sorry if we haven’t been speaking much
I’m working hard and I haven’t been sleeping much
Next time I’m in town maybe we could meet for lunch?
I hope you’re doing well fam, keep in touch
I’m real sorry if we haven’t been speaking much
I’m working hard and I haven’t been sleeping much
Next time your in town maybe we could meet for lunch?
I hope you’re doing well, yo keep in touch
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 3]
Dear Sis, I really hop you hear this
‘Cause I feel like we don’t’ be taking on some weird sh*t
And it’s not that I don’t wanna call, not at all
It’s just that when I see my niece’s picture on the wall
I wanna ball, because we live so far apart
I’d come visit more if I could get this car to start
But instead I made this card, ‘modern art’
Signed your little bro, form the bottom of my heart
Dear Pops, I’m still holding back the teardrops
You lost you mom, Iost my grandma, it’s weird not
Knowing that I could just pick up the phone
And tell her how much I love her now that moment is gone
So keep in touch with the people you love
Because there’s always someone out there who’s in need of a hug
And maybe next time I’m in town we could meet for some lunch
And reminisce on all the crazy sh*t we did growing up, yo
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
I’m real sorry if we haven’t been speaking much
I’m working hard and I haven’t been sleeping much
Next time I’m in town maybe we could meet for lunch?
I hope you’re doing well fam, keep in touch
I’m real sorry if we haven’t been speaking much
I’m working hard and I haven’t been sleeping much
Next time your in town maybe we could meet for lunch?
I hope you’re doing well, yo keep in touch

Everybody get live if you up in the place
Don’t get it twisted, listen y’all we ain’t playin’
Better watch what you say when you speakin’ my name
So don’t trip, listen y’all we ain’t playin
Anybody out there who still think it’s a game
Don’t get it twisted, listen y’all we ain’t playin’
Bout to set the record straight on a couple of things
So don’t trip, listen y’all we ain’t playin’
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
Nah, I ain’t playin’ with y’all
I put my heart into everything I say in these bars
This sh*t hard bruh, damn we be puttin’ in work
Mad a lot of sacrifices but it could have been worse
Preach, yo I think we ‘bout to take ‘em to church
I get a rush everytime I’m creating a verse
It’s transformative, got mixtapes but I can’t tour with it
So that’s when I picked up a mic and started recording it
‘Cuz life is more than just workin’ a job
9 to 5, wake up everyday cursin’ your boss
Still exhausted from the grind, ain’t no time to recharge
But we won’t stop until the prize is finally ours
Yo, we’ve come too far to turn back now
Nieghbors bangin’ on the door like ‘”Will you turn that down?!’
Cuz real emcees now are nowhere to be found
I thought I told y’all before, we ain’t playin’ around
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Everybody get live if you up in the place
Don’t get it twisted, listen y’all we ain’t playin’
Better watch what you say when you speakin’ my name
So don’t trp, listen y’all we ain’t playin
Anybody out there who still think it’s a game
Don’t get it twisted, listen y’all we ain’t playin’
Bout to set the record straight on a couple of things
So don’t trip, listen y’all we ain’t playin’
[Dillon: Verse 2]
No jokes no games it’s dead serious
All red leather like Eddie Murphy, ‘Delirious’
I’m that luxurious, the jury is out
My business is all I got time to worry about
I doubt anybody owes me a debt, ‘cause I collect
I ain’t doing the show until they show me a check
And when I step off the stage, straight back to the lab
We can do the after party while I’m packing my bag
I spent enough time acting a fool
I had to level up so I could flex my spectacular tools
I used to wish I was official then I earned my stripes
I was lurking, waiting for my turn to strike
I’ve got a style you’re gonna learn to like, I’m not leaving
I’ll be doing drop after drop ‘til I stop breathing
I’m on the grind ‘til I lay in the ground
I thought I told y’all before we ain’t playin’ around
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Everybody get live if you up in the place
Don’t get it twisted, listen y’all we ain’t playin’
Better watch what you say when you speakin’ my name
So don’t trip, listen y’all we ain’t playin

Let It Shine

[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Let it shine, let it glow
If you feel the inspiration let it flow
Say it loud. Let ‘em know
It’s divine you can feel it in your soul
Let it shine, let it glow
When you feel the inspiration let it flow
Say it loud. Let ‘em know
It’s divine you can feel it in your soul
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
People that have come alive, that’s what this world needs
So please, shine your light for the world to see
I went and toured around the world to find the girl of my dreams
But when I came back home, that’s when she found me
So sophisticated, yeah she’s my queen
She got here ish together, even got her PHD
I tell her everyday, she can do anything
That she puts her mind to if she only believes
But that’s just half the battle, easier said than done
And you know what they say, two head are better than one
You might get a head start and do better than some
But you can’t take it with you when you’re dead and your gone
So in the meantime, we gon’ live life to fullest
‘Cause any given day you could die from a bullet
Everybody going through it, in time like these
I let my soul shine bright through rhymes like these
So let it shine
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Let it shine, let it glow
If you feel the inspiration let it flow
Say it loud. Let ‘em know
It’s divine you can feel it in your soul
Let it shine, let it glow
When you feel the inspiration let it flow
Say it loud, let ‘em know
It’s divine you can feel it in your soul
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 2]
All I had was a Casio and Acid Pro
A red keytar that my Pops bought as a joke
I started making beats on it ‘cause I thought it was dope
How you could take something else and then make it your own
Fast forward years later now I’m out on the road
And it feels like my life is starting to spiral out of control
So much pressure on my mind it’s like I’m bout to explode
My booking agent hit hit me up to ask me ‘how did it go?’
I wanna tell him it was everything I’d hoped for
And that the crowd went nuts, but that’s just folklore
Some people tell me that I need to stick to making beats
But truth be told, yo I really wish I wrote more
My favorite rapper said ‘the world is yours’
But that’s only if you get through them revolving doors
So here’s a message that goes out to all the girls and boys
Don’t ever be afraid to speak up and use your voice
And let it shine
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Let it shine, let it glow
If you feel the inspiration let it flow
Say it loud. Let ‘em know
It’s divine you can feel it in your soul
Let it shine, let it glow
When you feel the inspiration let it flow
Say it loud, let ‘em know
It’s divine you can feel it in your soul
[Amerigo Gazaway: Bridge]
Let it shine
Let it glow
Say it loud
And let ‘em know
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 3]
And it feels’ like we finally made it
But it’s a marathon y’all, ain’t no time to get lazy
We got a long way to go, this is just the beginning
Gotta Change your mind frame and get adjusted to winning
Because those negative thoughts will keep you head in a box
Luck is being ready when the opportunity knocks
So keep doing what you’re doing y’all don’t ever give up
And be a shining light for others when the weather gets rough
And let it shine
[Amerigo Gazaway: Outro x 2]
Let it shine
Let it glow
Say it loud
And let ‘em know

[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
As I take a deep breath, and try to relax
I find a moment to reflect on the life that I’ve had
I wouldn’t take none of it back, the good or the bad
‘Cause everything I’ve been through made me who I am
And we should celebrate, the small victories often
The lessons that we’ve learned, everything that we’ve accomplished
All the fallen soldiers lost in the combat zone
Their spirit still lives with us even though they’ve gone back home
The road to riches it gets bumpy but keep staying the course
Every once in a while might have to take a detour
‘Cause ain’t no shortcuts to success, but I’m trying my best
Both my parents still in debt and no retirement yet
My momma always told me that you gotta work for your dreams
Protect you mental health, Take care of all your personal needs
But when you’re done, put your gloves on, get back in the ring
Because you know it isn’t over ‘til the fat lady sings
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
‘Cause when the going gets tough and life’s wearing you down
And it feels like there’s not love anywhere to be found
Just remember that there’s a light, at the end of the tunnel
Gotta get back up and fight, don’t give in to the struggle
And when the waters het rough, and the tide gets high
And it feels like you’re stuck, in a race against time
Just remember to keep your head up, and do what you can
Adapt to every circumstance and follow through with you plan
[Napoleon Da Legend: Verse 2]
Stress gets heavy on the shoulders
I’ve learned to live with regrets, you don’t get to do it over
Shrugging off a boulder is tough, life ain’t a bluff
Was doing the most, when I thought I wasn’t enough
The pressure crushes, anxiety mixed with adrenaline rushes
The game always catches up to even the cleverest brothers
Lately I’m feeling like, every crevice of my brain’s cluttered
Too close to the sun dehydrated they kept the rain from us
It’s a chain reaction going down flames as you plummet
Now I’m trained, I can catch it I can feel it in my stomach
Achilles heel exposed, I had to close the gap
Cause when the walls is closing in it’s easy to overreact
And that’s a sober fact, sadness and joy can overlap
Sometimes you got to slow up for the victory lap
Quickly adapt, switched my lane up and I dash
I survived thru the hell, and I grew up in a flash
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
‘Cause when the going gets tough and life’s wearing you down
And it feels like there’s not love anywhere to be found
Just remember that there’s a light, at the end of the tunnel

And when the waters het rough, and the tide gets high

The Look of Love
03:34

|

[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
When I look her eyes
Her love is like a drug it gets me hooked every time
And the way she makes me feel I don’t know how to describe
As much as I try, I can’t get her out of my mind
‘Cause when I look in her eyes
Her love is like a drug it gets me hooked every time
My Pops told me not to trust a big butt and a smile
But I’ve been known to slip up every once in a while
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
From the moment that I saw ya I knew you was trouble
Those hints that you kept dropping me were so subtle
At first I thought I was just imagining things
But this infatuation, yo, it’s bout to drive me insane
I can’t live without ya, I can’t breathe without ya, sleep without ya
Travel halfway ‘round the world so I don’t have to be without ya
And I hope you feel the same way too
But sometimes it’s hard to tell ‘cause you be acting aloof
So attractive and cute, boy immaculate too
Rubbing lotion on you back as we relax by the pool
Whad’ya say me and you take this back to the room
And I promise I’ll do anything you ask me to do
It’s so passionate, listen we don’t need to pretend
I know you love to be a tease and keep me in suspense
And will I see her again? Well I guess it depends
Woke up the next morning she was gone with the wind, damn
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
When I look her eyes
Her love is like a drug it gets me hooked every time
And the way she makes me feel I don’t know how to describe
As much as I try, I can’t get her out of my mind

Her love is like a drug it gets me hooked every time
My Pops told me not to trust a big butt and a smile
But I’ve been known to slip up every once in a while
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 2]
What’s going on, can I holler at cha
I wanna talk I ain’t trying to throw a dollar at cha
She looking hard, now is it because I’m dark, attractive
Slick and know all the tactics
Or is she just the type of chick that’s into ballin’ rappers?
I must apologize miss, but I was walking by when
Your beauty caught my eyes and
Heh…she started laughing
She so fine you must be some kind of model actress
She said no quite but I would love if you could autograph this
I can’t lie, I was took by surprise
But I could tell the desire by the look in her eyes
My Pops warned bout this I shoulda took his advice
She put a spell on all the guys with her hips and her thighs
Yo, you so fly I can’t even pretend
And you can always stay the night if you in need of a friend
But will I see her again? Well I guess it depends
No replies from the last text message I sent, damn
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
When I look her eyes
Her love is like a drug it gets me hooked every time

History in The Making
04:22
|
|
||
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
They say that life is what you make it
And if you want something, then go out there and take it
I know that you’ve been waitin’ so thank you for being patient
You are now ‘bout to witness, history in the making
Yo, this is history in the making
Its just history in the making
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
They say that life is what you make it
And anytime that’ you’re afraid of something you should face it
Don’t wait for nothing, yo you gotta go out there and chase it
So many folks with talent but it ends being wasted
And I can see through all the wickedness and the hatred
People turning on each other like prisoners on a spaceship
Complacent in the matrix or searching for salvation
I haven’t found it yet but I’m so close that I can taste it
Motivation, that’s why I’m destined to rise
Oh I get it, You ain’t sleepin’, you just resting you eyes
You too busy checking DMs and message replies
See most these rappers are just cosplayers, dressed in disguise
Me I’m trying to make tunes that stand up to the test of time
‘Cause right bout now It’s a blessing to be alive
So remember to drive slow, keep your eyes on the road
And one day your story might get told, this is the life I chose
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
They say that life is what you make it
And if you want something, then go out there and take it
I know that you’ve been waitin’ so thank you for being patient
You are now ‘bout to witness, history in the making
Yo, this is history in the making
Its just history in the making
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 2]
They say that life is what you make it
If that’s the case then I’m a maker sure mine’s a celebration
My life has taken me around the world so many places
I’ve made so many friends and met so many different faces
And I’ve seen people do all types of thing to get the paper
I put that on my Momma y’all and everything that’s sacred
The world is burning and there’s not much I can do to save it
But I can get involved in my community and change it
Inspiration, will only get you so far
But true grit and determination, that’s what’s sets you apart
Just build your catalog, focus and invest in your art
And don’t get caught up in the trends and who’s the best on the charts
Always stay true to yourself, don’t forget who you are
‘Cause in the fast lane, you could end up wrecking your car,
So remember to drive slow, keep your eyes on the road
Tell my story with this mic I hold, this is the life I chose
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
They say that life is what you make it
And if you want something, then go out there and take it
I know that you’ve been waitin’ so thank you for being patient
You are now ‘bout to witness, history in the making
Yo, this is history in the making
Its just history in the making
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 3]
They say that life is what you make it
So why no make it better for the future generations?
The devil comes in many forms and various tempations
Sometimes he puts you in a precarious situation
And just because we disagree doesn’t mean that I hate ya
They try to tell us sympathy goes against human nature
But let’s review the facts and take it back to the basics
‘Cause that’s the one factor that actually separates us
Innovation, will only take us so far
But true empathy that’s how you know who the replicants are
Just being there for one another when the times get hard
And standing up for someone even though you might get scarred
I’m just trying to pay for all my sins and right these wrongs
Document the world around me as I write these songs
So remember to drive slow, keep my eyes on the road
And one day my story might get told, this is the life I chose
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
They say that life is what you make it
And if you want something, then go out there and take it
I know that you’ve been waitin’ so thank you for being patient
You are now ‘bout to witness, history in the making
Yo, this is history in the making
Its just history in the making

When you drop the needle on to the groove, it don’t stop
When you find the perfect sample to loop, it don’t stop
When you see the people startin’ to move, it don’t stop
Ayo it don’t stop, come on, it don’t stop
Every single time I step in the booth, it don’t stop
Now everybody start raisin’ the roof, it don’t stop
Man you know we keep it hot just like a stovetop
Yo, it’ don’t stop, come on, it don’t stop
[Napoleon Da Legend: Verse 1]
Every time I feel a way I put it down on the page
It’s like therapy for me I move it out of the way
Channel the vibe. speaking with izms like Channel Live
When I’m feeling stuck in a prism, I just glance to the side
And switch the angle up, time to boss up like chancellor
Send the boomerang back, after I get it like philanthropist
Money in the bank, we run the numbers for days
When the sample is looped nice always got something to say
We don’t, lack courage we don’t lack resolve
And when they underestimate, we just laugh it off
The next up on the next level elevator up
Hard work, take a break we don’t celebrate enough
You love to hear to story of ups and downs
Asking, they wanna know what’s he up to now
Never dilute the product don’t corrupt the file
On to the next stop then we shut it down
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
When you drop the needle on to the groove, it don’t stop
When you find the perfect sample to loop, it don’t stop

Every single time I step in the booth, it don’t stop
Now everybody start raisin’ the roof, it don’t stop
Man you know we keep it hot just like a stovetop
Yo, it’ don’t stop, come on, it don’t stop
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 2]
Yo listen up and let me tell you bout a couple of things
My love for music runs deep just like the blood in my veins
I’m talking Miles, Marvin, John Coltrane
Cant’ forget Billie Holiday and Carmen McRae
It don’t stop, I could just keep on goin’
Like an Energizer bunny, just keep on flowin’
My rhymes is cold like in the winter when it keeps on snowin’
Or like the wind in Chi-City when it keeps on blowin’
It don’t stop, yeah you must have forgot
You must have either been asleep or hiding under a rock
And all these rappers out here bragging hwo much money they got
On Tik-Tok, stop pretending to be something you’re not
They wonder why we get props when we’re up in the spot
We double trouble bubble bubble bubblin’ hot
And man you know it’s automatic just like a robot
Ayo, it don’t stop, come on, it don’t stop
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
When you drop the needle on to the groove, it don’t stop
When you find the perfect sample to loop, it don’t stop
When you see the people startin’ to move, it don’t stop
Ayo it don’t stop, come on, it don’t stop
Every single time I step in the booth, it don’t stop
Now everybody start raisin’ the roof, it don’t stop
Man you know we keep it hot just like a stovetop
Yo, it’ don’t stop, come on, it don’t stop

The Truth

[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
The truth, if that’s what you’re hoping to find
Gotta refocus your grind, it’s time to open your mind
‘Cause the game is flawed by design, it’s hard to win
When the odds are stacked against you all of the time
So just take it from me
Nowadays you can’t always believe what you see
Still searching for the answers till I rest in peace
Life’s a gamble but the truth is just set you free
It’s the truth
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
The truth is that everything is connected
And truth as far stranger than anything you expected
And truth hurts sometimes it’s hard for you to accept it
Or too hard to admit what you did wrong and correct it
A skeptic by nature that’s how I was raised
Taught to question everything and never trust what they say
I learned I learned that from Aunt Dorothy, she used to read for hours a day
Half blind but you know that never got in a way (never)
Truth is out there if you know where to look
Or know how to go to the library open a book
A true scholar, trying to scrounge up a few dollars
So I can save up enough to put my kids through college
The pursuit of knowledge Is a worthy in endeavor
But remember birds of a feather always flock together
So keep your circle tight surround yourself with those who inspire
The answer to life’s questions as my only desire
It’s the truth
Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
The truth, if that’s what you’re hoping to find
Gotta refocus your grind, it’s time to open your mind
‘Cause the game is flawed by design, it’s hard to win
When the odds are stacked against you all of the time
So just take it from me
Nowadays you can’t always believe what you see
Still searching for the answers till I rest in peace
Life’s a gamble but the truth is just set you free
It’s the truth
Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 2]
The truth is never that simple there’s always a gray area
And things ain’t been the same since I left the Bay Area
The world’s gone up in flames and it’s causing mass hysteria
Just tryin’ to stay sane, seems like everyday it gets scarier
Yo, is it safe to go outside?
Global pandemic, missiles falling from the sky
Oh my oh my I just wanna’ escape
Like these billionaires trying to send their rocket to space
See they don’t know what it feels like to stand in our shoes
We can’t feed the hungry but we put a man on the moon?
Yo the truth, the truth is that the planet is doomed
Unless we act fast and come up with a plan to improve
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But the silver lining is that there is brand new
Generation doing things that we could never have dreamed
Gotta keep you mind open or you’ll never be free
It’s the truth
Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
The truth, if that’s what you’re hoping to find

Nowadays you can’t always believe what you see
Still searching for the answers till I rest in peace
Life’s a gamble but the truth is just set you free
It’s the truth
Amerigo Gazaway: Outro]
It’s the truth y’all
It’s the truth
Swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth
It’s the truth
It’s the truth y’all
Swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth
It’s the truth

[Amerigo Gazaway: intro]
Full circle, full circle, full circle
Full circle, full circle, full circle
[Amerigo Gazaway: Verse 1]
Sometimes I sit and reminisce, on night like this
Catch a vibe and get inspired when I write like this
It’s therapeutic, it’s truly a blessing to share this music
Times are stressful but I know that we’re destined for brighter futures
No excuses, It’s just a matter of time
The revolution is what’s happening inside of your mind
Id you allow it, I’ve seen people with talent, their vision clouded
Overcome by lust, greed, money and power,
Spent countless hours in the lab, perfecting the craft
In the past, I used to just obsess over tracks
Now I hit record, bounce it down, press it on wax
Put it out and keep it moving like directional pads
The soul controller, spinning jazz records on an old Victrola
Looking for the perfect soulful loop that I can rap over
Now fast forward ‘bout 15 years
Artists that idolized I now consider my peers
It’s full circle
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Full circle, full circle, full circle
What goes around comes around
Full circle, full circle, full circle
And what goes up must come down
Full circle, full circle, full circle
As the world turns, as the world burns
Full circle, full circle, full circle
I’m just trying to pass on what I’ve learned
[Napoleon Da Legend: Verse 2]
Im a live and die this, was born supremely biased
The type of timing I’m on, nobody can’t deny it
Nah floating over obstacles in autopilot
They wanna criticize a boss, but yo I never mind it
My shine a leave ‘em blinded, I gas ‘em like hybrid
We keep the business private catch me on the corner sliding
Misleading no one you can miss me with that
Always moving in back channels stay privy with that
State of the art with techniques stay tricky with that
Unpredictable witty that’s where I really been at
I love the thrill of it creating just deliver the vibe
Some a dying na live this life some are living na die
Some living a lie, but not I, I’m being myself
I said Bye Bye to negative it’s freedom I felt
And nothing else can compare when I’m staring at the mirror
And how I feel inside of me matches exactly my appearance
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Full circle, full circle, full circle
What goes around comes around
Full circle, full circle, full circle
And what goes up must come down
Full circle, full circle, full circle
As the world turns, as the world burns
Full circle, full circle, full circle
I’m just trying to pass on what I’ve learned
[Awon: Verse 3]
I’m rather unique, cipher complete
I was defined by the streets, refined by the beats
The elephant in the room, a quiet beast
Off the iron leash, ionize the speech
Magneto flow with electrons in the reach
So you could die in sleep or try to hold the heat and still get twisted
Life’s about choices and it helps if you are gifted
I plan to ride the boat, sailing wherever it is driftin’
Constant elevation is the mission my position
Or opinion doesn’t matter, without a pot to piss in
With a trigger finger itchin’ for the shiny things that glisten
My inner vision see’s the contradiction of my aura
These days I’m in the crib watching cartoons with my daughter
In the ‘burbs with the manicured lawns because of hip-hop
All I ever wanted from emceeing was big props
I got the game locked, I write to raindrops
Sip until the pain stops, it’s a shame no one in the lane could claim hot
[Amerigo Gazaway: Hook]
Full circle, full circle, full circle
What goes around comes around
Full circle, full circle, full circle
And what goes up must come down
Full circle, full circle, full circle
As the world turns, as the world burns
Full circle, full circle, full circle
I’m just trying to pass on what I’ve learned
