Lyrics: Praying they still make love in my size Sober up and wipe the crust out my eyes My last integrity n trust a trail of crumbs for my bride Is it a return or a failure to succumb to the tide When charlotte ppl seen folks cherish me was such a surprise They seeing something we not Since doctors sliced open my stomach at five More often than not at sustenance a nah b4 a nod It’s stock in the glock I’m crashing if it’s eye for an eye poppa taught me a lot Love and disrespect is all we abide I had to get a check I wanted a commune either a big bm or a Benz for my mom soon popping benzos turned her grin to a monsoon A long June the summer after We made the turn on the long route for the plunder Casted in small rooms knitting heart loom spinning something tragic love from fragments automatic jus that Sumter magic bumped my cap n crack For that puff a raw or pump a baddie Always Keep a driver w the caddie why we lugging baggage Niggas want my status so attack me is jus hustling backward Models n bottles coming matching we prefer the black ones Don’t need no flashiness the stats n graphs reveal the stature Older heads sad bout how it happened take em out to pasture Niggas wont gassing me or asking my opinion last year We was our only love Blunders a teach u some 12th grade I rode east w ahmir to go n meet the We learned we built this off belief we ain’t een need the drugs I told mom I’ll trek dc if it’ll please her But degree don’t seem to speak no more
The pain hit deeper when ur people ain’t in reach no more Cause greed would feed them more
Praying they still make love in my size Sober up and wipe the crust out my eyes My last integrity n trust a trail of crums for my bride Is it a return or a failure Succumb to the tide Money got bigger but my problems never shrunk down to size They was jus feeling it but then the sun had shrunk in the sky U need my echo jus to hear from me But ima echo in ur memory

The feet of god where I lay Feats of strength for applause Jus slap some gauze on that thang And don’t be awkward on stage New bone deposit my face I owe my life to the cause Give my all to the gang Because without em I’m lost my martyrdom entertainment walls of my brain I recaulk Meaningful recall unembraced U hear me cough in myself I hear you scoff at my jays One for each day of the week Burn each one down in a day
Everybody treating my regular I lost my elders n baby I wandered helpless in St. Louis lost myself to the pavement I couldn’t even remember What I was searching or chasing U said u seen me wake up twitching seen your mom keep me stable That incident cost me December three more ribcage I cave The cost of me doing business My garden tear irrigated Now I’m too player to know me Guess how the fuck I was coping Finally sober and it’s jus another layer of lonely niggas retrace to my home so I keep my laser the closest I told mama I need new chrome she think im playing or joking I told her that I’m on my second watch sum change in her knowing She watched her son change into something tucked away for the longest Me n mitch gon crash the car we shed those those tears on the highway Me and Isaiah did the same then he went his I went my way I’m off to bury another angel I ain’t think I could die When I feel things b surprised I’m dry I ain’t think I could cry If mama took her self serious as me ain’t no way I survive The sun jus pace in the sky Tryna escape the horizon
The harder I work The smaller escape The taller the gate They say it’s all in the game And I should feel honored to race But you hate loving me say it However awful it taste I threw it all in the flames n I know it Laughing so hard the shit painful I know it

She know she can get a Chanel whenever my streaming hit Guilty if I was somebody else you prolly be upset My prayers now laying in hopes we reconnect N my life a be even keeled enough to be ya man Damned Cause u might die if u get too high N u might die if u don’t even try So what’s the difference Know you don’t wanna lose because we bruised but we still tulips but they stupid nough to think it’s cause of what I give u They don’t see all your riches for that they are forgiven I hold u tighter than a secret me n god had written Pocket privilege Still Feel like a fuck up away from rich or broke agaun But Money coming back quicker the easier I let go of it World growing colder like a cell unfold with every shoulder tilt Wanted to yell now these days ion want no one to know here
maybe we jus depressed because the trees depressed The sea depressed the only thing we see is death And so the weed the best the only hope reprieve from that They plead I keep in touch I’m scrambling to keep intact Ima track runner where I hide my secrets at Fear that last slumber first time my ppl see some rest
But ever since u been away Nigga jus been binging finish spirits feel it vacant n defenestrate it N waiting till I see u again It’s getting empty searching the living when needing a friend

wish it didn’t have to end like this met at your wits a cliff Told you my grip was slipping U looked up like is it really Or u want your fist for clinching Couldn’t answer Stepped on yo toes when I first pulled u close A willing dancer Three left feet It was yo grace Then no space we married in the soul space It couldn’t carry onto earth because u jus too holy Me with you too whole And we compose to decompose ain’t it Ima see you on the path again cause I’m supposed ain’t it we pose to b a no brainer How many times I sew Frankenstein up Before the torch and the forksa dreams become divorce again U left me at the same tree u found me before hanging
wish it didn’t have to end like this met at your wits a cliff Told you my grip was slipping U looked up like is it really Or u want your fist for clinching Couldn’t answer Stepped on yo toes when I first pulled u close A willing dancer Three left feet

LYRICS: I been underrated still negotiating not what I thought I would make but what thought I would become when I let god use me for love But eluding my due punishment is dumb as shit Including learned reflexes toward running I don’t come from that Freshman year dc told upperclassmen Ian come for frats Jus backbreaking backwoods breaking and blades became a lumberjack Do I mourn my born gifts thrown away or l I become the trash How strong is this force of orbit that make me become my dad Whispers to redistribute before a hunnit racks What is it to come from nothing Come up but with nothing back Only hear good luck in passing never hear I’m proud of you Never hear u fw magic always asked how high are you We broke ur pack into fractions they know I’m behind it too I jus be going to classes idk who lied to u Bashful bout moments of passion I shouldn’t confide in you see now you crying too Learned my lesson about quiet soon as You make minor improvement It’s gone when it’s here I try to lose it know her eyes do voodoo I make her sob they slicing through me I’m pulling tight maneuvers to make a lane of size and room To fit my gang entire crew Like lil Wayne inside this two liter is my business Watch me spread this money out in my hand now my mom grinning She say I got too much time on my hand and the watch delivered Right after the permit app for the strap she eye me different It’s aight I’m still her angel I jus work in industries w enemies that come w danger Ima get my niggas free this in between about some paper A bitter taste in my mouth but they say this the time to savor I’m sedated nauseated anger sated face elated I been underrated Been underrated it ain’t nun new Like the Olmec been discovered paper Couple routes Smoking on myself when I hit the shelf it won’t be #2MAVI - Mama Say (Official Audio)MAVI2021-08-13 | Listen to Mama Say, prod CoffeeBlack: http://untd.io/m/mamasay
Lyrics: My mama say I got death on me Prolly the reason why I haven’t been the best homie My youngers who up under me sit up in jail lonely Prolly why a nigga been a lil frail lowkey Cousin got knocked other cousin got shot Budget got dropped it’s been trouble nonstop Bubble got popped I been Rubbing off facades Mama woken out her sleep having a dream that i had died Remember seeing me drown Not seeing me go down but hearing the bubble sound I’m on tour next month I’ll be leaving her for a while I put her belief in me in my pouch Ended up not being a shame we weren’t the same at all Odds of me going off to college on a scholarships and onward into jobs that feed my knowledge and my pocket ain’t really that much higher than getting famous off it And if that math is too abstract here go your favorite car My mama say I got death on me Prolly the reason why I haven’t been the best homie My youngers who up under me sit up in jail lonely Prolly why a nigga been a lil frail lowkey My mama say I got death on me Prolly the reason why I haven’t been the best homie My youngers who up under me sit up in jail lonely Prolly why a nigga been a lil frail lowkey My mama say I got death on me Prolly reason why I haven’t been the best homie

it go like this Tug at the rope got thrown for loops and my balance Stuck in anthropocene moot is the standard And movement ungranted Unless you snooping for a human zoo to loot and transplanted Attune your cruiser to the tune of mass panic These days Maroon reclusion my greatest hope As youth I heard yakuub myths off the stoop it was greater control or truth But I’m taking both What’s crazier swang or stroke I’m baby Ruth More bases stole I’m taking two I pray my grannies prayed enough to gain me proof of entry Niggas is working on the earth right now And mans demands is taking tolls of transit chances paved with gold the same we stole for hand to hand the blame float over our heads We cradle the clangs of drones from our beds the same as soldiers Samely sober Same leaf overturned Get cranky rolled and burned Outrage went frozen Though his case not cold We can’t keep over churning Throat is burning bile is rising More concerned than proselytizing I closed the circle knowing the incurrent curse of modernizing My memory fucked up As kids was getting fucked up Was blessed the city made its space That graciousness got mucked crusted somewhere along the way We traded honor for a longer stay I let my cards fall where they may Causative I’m a agar plate Agent of growth Feel like time pass along exponents Turn away from the smoke I flash irascible but knowing Had to change the approach Observe the mass of my opponent merge with Strength of the dirt I turn away finish first yeah Taking wear and tear to the chest tat Try to keep the traps of trespassers lengths away from the headcap Sleeping crazy times cause of the jet lag Same reason all you niggas losing second place same as dead last Leaders in league and We the latest team to bring the full court press back
So brace em or ur knees taken
#MAVI #SMHfire alarm (!) with Maassai, produced by greenssMAVI2020-04-14 | hyper aware of my ego
but it’s mad there
mad weird, wear it like a mask
wear it like some glass- sheer
and it’s fabricated but its real shit
merely a lie—but a real snitch
least I’m fly gotta lotta personali-
deez nuts to the fallacy
burn fire, up in smoke like a bag uh tree
niggas call for back up and they back up
cuz im packin heat
in my throat, how i pack a beat
messages and chapters b
I aint a pastor, I’m just passed the immorality
niggas mad at eve
Adam just an atom in the grand scheme
pick a damn team
right or u left nigga
did u have a right when u left niggas for dead
laws of nature, fuck a paper nigga, unread
ain’t even seen it, cuz we off it
niggas nautious, looking for a set to throw up
why u waiting on a check to glo up
It’s your luck against my destiny
Your trust against your questions and
Your budge against the weapons of your love
Against confessions I hold up
Against depression I fold up
Toward indignance my nose up
Throw independence cloaking the inner side loner
Why closure? we know that’s a myth
My focus is opening shit
My pain on my forehead ain’t scheduled paint etchings stone on a whim
Wins ends inside coating the safe
Safety on it man bro we w the kids
Lids on a close friend without a j
I’m anxious about space on this train cause it’s leaving
Ion know if I’m getting something wrong or if people keep on changing places cause of seasons
Pattern sustained for whatever reason
Grinding for the babies underneath me
Properly acquainted
Probably a danger
Why they keep on flinging

nigga my lip splitting when im grinning scalp pierced by clips cuz beauty pain
eye contact w my ms eliz elusive
i got prolems that wont fit in google
i got knowledge i cant get into
cuz i burnt too much piles of piff to soot
hit that pocket pat and hear a poof
what i scribbled my last writtens to
i felt listlessness and lassitude
found some women w some attitude
time it sprinkled liq and flowers doomed
had to get up out it aint have time to pout
kicked that tower down its wider now
assured we charlotte bound so bout it bout it
more so now my mind is routed round survival
need that deposit patna
scored goals miles . n bounds i trounced em w my eyes closed
scheme patterns lotto numbers nigga
my baby waist on hamina
favors she was raised on hominy
maybe i need cake 2 also eat n watch make me a better offer
that rainy weather awkward indoors
all my cheese made is all for them though yall nearly made me extend this charlotte trip 3 capers off from them loans
we made n carved 4 them golds
we breaking perspectives reservations faces headboards scales bales n credit scores

am i worth the shit that i receive
am i playing into all the niggas job's it was to make a sin of my belief
all my niggas just commiserate with me
blatant with it but i hate admitting
i just make the digits
the decisions making me
bathing syllable in rhythm i receive
hating niggas need to sit up by my feet
hatin niggas need to sit im satisfied assisting sending them to satan obviously
great when we was all casefile free
maybe we was all grapevined for the hate cause the greats made by heat
agitated, rhyming, baked, or im sleep
yellow tape round my face, hatecrime if state find me
hey mavi
wait mami
ur spirit cool u can hang by me
mirror loosen my face
real literal n frank you can thank shaheed
i b cool in the rain
barely move except for snooping out the late night creep
already heard if you stayed down
im a regular in the glade aisle
if it's getting worse
you can steady hurt
its already her otw down
to those petty nerds
in my message hurting
fix those flexing urges in my paypal
ima legend learn it
from that steady urgent
got my veggies burning for the sake now
and they fuckin w me off the strength ask em (no cap!)
buckin 4 me off the hip try it!!
i b pressed for the best but accept any less
it could get violent
a real 1 if he sit by me
frisking bills tryna grip lighters
want the ms but it look like they kill niggas spirits when they get by em
niggas got a million ways to say they wanna rip you clip it cuz they just liars
i b by the river
tidings living in my pencil
i can grip a trident
i been cleansing shit the kindling crispy sentimental items
i been grimacing my dimples hidden by my strength declining
end is within vision aint no ribbon where my finish line is
elevatorpitch
while i got you this my elevator pitch
i done trained my pencil better than my fists
made a painting from a stencil they said wouldn't fit
never had conceptions of how better this shit get
i been fighting that depression shit again
i b hiding all my devils with a grin
light the cess with the end of the cess then its into my chest aint confessing my sins
cause i know how these weapons get heads of they own and they painting my chest the behest of the crips
nigga ion fret ima face on my own
conversationalist gone
drawing blanks on the daily im blown
carving out a case for me chasin the road
palm in my face when my failure my own
palm in my heart when im painting my flows
far from a park since i came back from home
calm in the car like where u taking me though?
i aint do a lot that i said that id do when my frame was restored'
i b doin art bc i cant b alone
i b doin art bc i cant b alone
i b doin art bc i cant b alone
all that movin on shit made me a ghost
dirty laundry swang on the post
i done wrote at least enough sixteens to relieve me of treatment neonatally appropriate
im nobody sun but god
already know bout the fuckin odds
also know not to fuckin stop
trot on slow motion up the block
eyes wont close workin in garage
my folks know im prone off-road
they gaze save me a lot
rest primarily come in breaks for cigars
families strengthened breaking the law
families get displaced by law
imagine the rage hurricane-perfect rain-when i learned exchange was to blame for things that i saw
save for tomorrow out the gains that i sow
break in the vault when the stank runnin low
strength raised up outta constraints
faithfully bathe in my pain bc my name on it, mostly
i b doin art bc i cant b alone
i b doin art bc i cant b alone
i b doin art bc i cant b alonewhbc good morning hu oochie wally freestyle (gucci wallet)MAVI2019-04-03 | i love u kelis
my heart red black and green
my head snaps back easier
i had that disease
i had active fingers to match passive feet
i had access to pack that you just had to see
i got knowledge about this circle that surpass belief
over the summer grandaddy passed and he passed to me
we went and added a few monetizing strategies
now i got a few more dollar signs to pad my wreath
you a capper how you stagnant w ur salary
you get flattened like a glad bag casually
okay my fattened head colossal by the cash i see
white flag and red dot em like the japanese
i heard they running up a check im running track for cheese
i heard they claimin they up next but they aint passing me
i heard he comin through the city cant do that for free
you barking up the wrong tree like adam & eve dawg
im on a different level floating through a different heaven
mine is chromium yours rhodium we holding different metals
i be questioning whether the thorns is worth them crimson petals
shout out to the homie over there who fixing levels
i b w the soldiers you with cronies and the infidels
on the road be lonely but my homies know i wish em well
okay my homies know i wish em well
flipping money back into the city like a wishing well
listen couple times we had to get it off the digit scale
back then our pockets was skinny just like a finish nail
look it up
i been running round tryna get this vid cooking up
she ask if i even go here she see me in brooklyn
i ain't ever texting my ex back except to smush it in
appear to be performing very well from the looks of it
shout out to wayne since they freed the C5
i might do the trukfit w the shorts and knee-highs
since i tasted balmain can't go back to levi's
i be with a small gang but we big on each side
i done hit em all names i forget em each time
i cant keep the same flow for like more than three lines
lemme switch it up okay lemme shake it up
i would say im goin cr*zy but im not a ableist
cuzo bangin red but i b in new york w navy huh
watchin for the feds jus tryna get a education huh (smfh)
i b with the bread in a apron tryna break the pot
and i got this flow from glokknine in the baking shop
your homie gon say he gangsta i got proof that say he not
maybe ima payback all my student loans and maybe not
your homie gon say he gangsta i got stains that say he not
maybe ima pay back all my student loans and maybe not
okay lets take it down the maybe route
maybe some of yall need to be taken out to make it out
playing w a key like eubie blake can you remake the sound
prolly not it take some skill and definitely will beyond a hobbie
i be getting love up in my father city like im hollyhock
deep in city limits like a sixty-minute parking spot
i need my amenities as many as yall offer
you got paperwork to show for all that flexing that you talk
i come from taking urges, making words do things you never thought about
im making earnings making waste of herbs who wanna argue now
don't you hate when you just tryna face they wanna talk you down
improving aim im quickly losing faces for my targets

living in nothing living on edges i tasted two
near vacations bro say be careful, your place within perpetuity i will
hold the whole of the world in the holes of my cheeks
explosive sun and molten core of earth be holding my leash
so the cold is not peace
the code cant elude you you holding the key
its undisclosed to get you coursing through the folds underneath

the globe is going cold when i leave
slopes get snowy when the sun goes self enclosed

Or charisma to convince me ion need it
My nigga ion be enough enough
‘I be’, ‘I be’, ‘I be’, ‘I be’, ‘I be’, ‘I be’, ‘I be’, mavi a i be machine
Sloppy hobby hard lines presented been carving my dreams
mirror hidden bc analyzing paralyzing
Clogged up and scandalizing clear the nozzle
Bossed up, hear your knock and ain’t acknowledge
Man ride I’m standing by him
Dirty like the sand in the Carolinas
Stolen like the land that we vandalizing
Landslide victory gifted these liars
ya squad stay bickering
My niggas made men you nun likeus
leaf getting heated and broke up
fee getting yoked up
My heart cold but the heat got the bulk dumped
least I was owed
lease is now over
Ion got no interest in leaps after convenience bc
ion have the privilege of not being a genius and my nigga stop playing cause you don’t either
the kids is hearing shit that you saying you over speakers
my shit a crack a critic like the grin on the Mona Lisa
Fit for the post-hip-hop poaching the most

soundcloud.com/mavi704mavi - gold starMAVI2018-06-13 | This is fragment of ghost thought Controlling the movement of my mortality Brutal prison is sanity Blew the lid off my vanity Chasing a stupor till I can't get no less lucid Because that's how we do it I liken myself to Bueller I'd like a girl that could lose me fight with ego and lose Bright as Helios Lie on my feet complete revolutions Hide the meaning in music As far as beating up booths, beacon wrote the book and ain't proofread In Babylon booling musing at blueprint I'm satisfied brooding its lil moonbeam Swoop and scooping up loose dreams smooth as snoop with my new thing Who complain about my mood swings who can say I'm not hookah the way I'm blew through those blue themes cruising through these obstacles try to elude my nightmares but I'm rooted there my eyes closed And I'm thrashing, what will await me ain't my complaint A Lack of passion is safe but I ain't chasing after plaintive Feels I'm bracing for my failure I'm not brave enough to tame And every day that I awake it's a new danger that I face And I like claiming that I'm blanking but got pages upon pages of full paper that I waste looking for phrases that placate all of the frailty of my psyche I'm a failure under light Underlying accountability issues that I fight I'm supplying the endless similes and critics I'm inviting I'm just trying to acquaint their vision with images in mine
