[Intro by Akeem] Big D…? Nigga who the FUCK is Big D!?!? that nigga some bullshit man. [Verse 1] Ayo these raps are my cathartic release My bars will increase, every time that I target these beats I’m armed with a fleet of rhymes ready to spar, and defeat These garbage emcees. Mad corny, your harvest in reach. Aye hold up. Please chill, all that yelling on the track got you Sounding like Meek Mill, just looking for cheap thrills. If my Glass is half empty I’d be searching for refills. That third Eye vision is scary, these niggas just see hills. Get the concept? If you rappers in the house feeling presidential I’ll corrupt the building just like it’s congress My conquest, I’ll conquer. It’ll never be concluded A pro with my cons, you confused on how I do it, this ain’t no contest That progress I’m bout that. You profound? I doubt that. Food for thought, the games at stake. When beef is served you prolly outback Pitch dope, where the mounds at? I’ll fuck this game dirty. Raw And break out, no herpes, but stay in this bitch forever. Get the valtrax [Dubs] The game was numb but I’m the blood that brought the feeling back Can’t say I’m wack, or that I never spat the realest rap I’m kinda into that. Tried to tell these artist to Be themselves it seems that they can’t even do that simple task Ain’t got no gimmicks. It’s feeling you niggas hearing. My plan? Is keep my lyrics unlimited, no cricket The simplest shit can surface, they slither their words with serpents Word to Allah, my raps ahead of these niggas like a turban. Perfect [Verse Continuation] Is what the flow is like, the price of staying focused right? Dave Chappelle, I’m cold as ice. Sometimes I be thinking I’m Dolemite Won’t catch me doing this flow too much on this shit cause that’s the stereo type Me? I’m somewhat a rebel. Giving a fuck bout what the stereos like *what the fuck he be doing?* Spazzing on the beat Fucking slapping all you rappers. Hope you grasping your defeat Fuck it. I’ll tag you in the streets. You fucking fags be acting sweet Can hear the passion in my v-o-i-c-e. It’s Big D. Nigga Yeah… Whatever that was aight….

Somehow my mind gets enlightened sittin' in the dark Notebook on the table, brain is swimming in alcoholic thoughts I'm drowning in flows, and yet, I float and row with Noah's Ark Animal. But you can't duplicate my flesh in ventricle parts I mean where should I start? Life's a drama a mystery Filled with karma and misery. Propaganda and history Through this pain Imma make my way to this industry And never leave (leaf) but just branch out, resemble the winter trees Looked at my purpose, I think I was placed to serve the people The Earth is lethal but I'll mislead you from words that's evil Done so much left in my life I hope I can do right But now, I'm having a blue night, by a bruised life, like 2 fights What doesn't kill me makes me stronger So I get back up, try again and walk a lil longer uh This ain't the yellow brick road but know I'm a wizard at this Courage and heart, you can sense it in this lyrical shit.... [Verse 2] Food for thought, this is fried chicken and rolls Collard greens and yams and a glass of Kool-Aid that's cold. They say my shit is relaxing, well that's the itis in you holmes When this meal enters you, know it's homemade cause it'll touch ya soul With no high blood pressure, don't stress 'bout diabetes Sweet 16s for the hungry, dummy supply the needy Put ya hand on my chest, I'm giving you shit that's heart felt And still keeping it dope as if I supplied the whole cartel It seems like everyone's a character, no comic con Squares worshiping the triangle, like you polygons I'm probably on some other shit, sending transmissions to the Mothership, plotting how to overthrow this government. But, That's for another day for now, I'm just rhyming Reciting and writing. Using this bottle to catch lightning. Uh. Wisdom and metaphors. Lyrics that could kill em and Sever four rappers just to knock em off that pedestal. Oh, and you know I got hella flow [Verse 3] But I'm much better than that I have more class and elegance so I reflect and just laugh I let the skeptical pass, collect respect and plus cash I think I'm destined to pass, every contestant that lacks Some sort of passion, why you rappin' if yo ass ain't serious You make a track, fuck around they all feel it. But when I make some real Shit they ain't hearin' it you must be delirious. I put My muscle, blood, sweat, pain, and every tear in this... Wait. Think that's the alcohol talkin' shit Let me sober up and simmer down before I call it quits They downplay my sound wave when I said I'm a rapper Judged this book by the cover like they wrote the story and closed the chapter Doesn't matter if I'm sober dog. Did you get the message? At the end of the day, my craft, you must respect it. Anyway. I ain't tryna hear it. I think I'm touched This whole song I've been talkin' to ya spirit, a little too much...

Pussy, take a cat nap Exposing these faggots on wax tracks, like I’m Kat Staxxx When I’m depressed, I swear I put your music on to laugh at Fuck a backpacker and swag rapper with snapbacks Their content is about chicks with bad backs, and cash racks And that’s fact. I hope you never make another record Black king, be seeing red… I ain’t playing checkers Rook, you’ve run into a knight, that’s preaching verses like a bishop Since you haven’t upgraded from a pawn, yo I ain’t fucking with ya My queen been beautiful ever since she was born.

Started off small time. Now I feel big as ever Masking smiles cause I'm about revolution, Vendetta All of my Jams Def. Lyrically, I whoop rappers up But Imma keep it rolling like a nigga ghost riding trucks Drive got me Ford focused. Move forward like Toyota The space in my mind is on Saturn when I'm not sober High off this life shit. The weed I put down right? Done washed my sorrows so many times I think I drowned twice Razor blade in my wallet I keep it there as an option Nothing stays in my pocket, could use that quarter back probably. Some call this real shit. For me, I'm just venting to ya The Moses of Hip Hop. Listeners, yeah I plan to move ya Depart like the Red Sea, I hope that it never happens I'm searching for my freedom. Wait, I can here my shackles cracking Slave to this rap shit. Got the product, they never listen Nigga watch me wash ya brain if you let me just tell a vision Poison the mind, leading you to be blind Discourage you all the time, distracting you from your grind Their facts become fiction. Punk you into religion But fuck the tube and the system nigga find your own wisdom Tell you you're not beautiful, belittle you if you're unusual And have originality, I think it's fucking sad to see These naive people are controlled with that mentality You let em brain wash you, learn to take your own shower see Our rights don't mean shit now, they spit rounds if you don't get down Or try to make you skip town. Round here we don't play that shit now We made some shit that's never been broadcasted Screaming, "Fuck your network" until we see your orgasm My nigga, don't pause that. Stand up for something don't fall back They walk on your body like doormats. Got money? They taking like all that We sick of the lies all yall telling yeah we caught that 2 middle fingers to the screen, fuck your damn broadcast.

Come and test the flow Ya girl like what I’m about, she undresses slow And she was lying when she told you that less was more WOAH. Yo Swear that I’m a mack with this And a nigga hasn’t got paid off this rapping shit Currency. The stonned fans say I’m immaculate But little do they know I only half ass the shit. Ugh We all know these cats average The next time I see you with a mic yo I’ll snatch the shit You just do it for the cash, you ain’t passionate Hip hop’s a highway. You the reason why the traffic thick.. my nigga [Hook] Aye I’m just doing what I do. *what you do?* Making moves til I pursue *Oh* Everything I want *what* everything I need Gotta worry bout you and stop worrying about me. Nigga please *My nigga please* (2x) [Verse 2] He spit it like a loaded gun The chosen one. The written done broke his thumb Got a big mouth? Better close it son I flow for fun. And you the type to smoke and run Elevated slow motion. Um. The dopest from East coast where we froze the sun. Sticky icky flow grown locally with high Potency. I tell em don’t stand close to me. I’m just doing what I’m supposed to be Tryna paint a picture that the pope can see And hopefully I’m dope like a coca tree So look clos-e-ly I keep flows that the ocean breads I did it all by myself, no coaching me There’s no hope for you broken seeds and it’s Not over til I say it is. I’m just Doing what I do. That’s the way it is. Son [Hook] (2x) [Verse 3] See that’s the problem with you niggas. Shit is timeless if you listen Take the time to hate on mine? Go smoke the ganja to get lifted Why your mind all in my business? Go and better your craft Lames claim they ain’t a snake, I see your head in the grass There’s a point I need to ask. Why you bashing the music? But in retrospect, you’re taking the time to listen to it. That don’t make no sense (cents) shit. Go and get some dollars And get off my dick, while I make these hoes holla. Hold up The shit I say will leave grown niggas embarrassed. Ain’t fair *He don’t go hard* I bet I will (wheel) like ferris Bet that boy spit sick like there’s infections on my larynx Flyest nigga in the atmosphere. I’m a Tuskegee Airman dawg Ha. You niggas average. The next time I see you with a mic, yo I’ll snatch the shit You just do it for the cash, you ain’t passionate. Hip hop’s a highway. And I’m praying that you crash ya whip. Nigga [Hook] (4x)

[Verse 1] As a musician it’s something I can’t explain If you listen you can feel it and get a glimpse of my pain If my shit touched your spirits, my lyrics can’t be contained Yo I be vibing so hard the sane claim I’m deranged. Like. They don’t understand, the music’s just infectious Dawg it’s wild how I spit fire then it starts spreading. Hold up It’s a blessing. This talent that I’m possessed with will Have me killing competition, pen is a deadly weapon. Yo. This for my fam who I plan to make they lives better Peace to all those rats in the trap that tried to deny my cheddar My plan A through Z. Failing’s not an option My 15 minutes will be in a second nigga now watch him The higher life with no marijuana influences No pairs of designer shoes and shit. It’s just music The game was never dead. They just cut off the circulation Now they refuse to take the meds. The nerve of these patients The difference between me and these rappers. Yo I’d die for this Just to let you know, I don’t take this shit as a joke Ugh. So. While you turn up, imma zone out. I got the drive for hip hop I’m just tryna get her home now [Hook] (2x) My man. Just vibe with me bring the feeling back Zone out baby girl. Chill. Relax Some dope shit on the radio we’ll get it back Ha. Got you saying “Yo how real is that?” [Verse 2] I celebrate hip hop. Cause I don’t buy in To the silence of what a righteous man’s writing What’s it mean to be scorching the track? What’s support from your fans if its virtue you lack? Where’s the fortune in that? Gone Along with the moral standard. I don’t chase cash That’s what fate’ll handle. Yeah I’m a Hungry artist, but I got table manners. I wanna save the damn world. And I’m not alone I’m just a pot of gold. Like the stars and moon And if I’m honest, this music is all for you. Some will Call me a fool. Well that’s not far from true. A moment of silence for those who don’t speak up In music we trust. To get it through to the people That can’t see the big picture through a peep hole So I’m hoping to open doors with Vocal cords that can throw this war Overboard into an ocean with a flow that’s pure. Yeah… SoulMusic

[Hook] The most beautiful people are the saddest It’s gotta feel like you stay in hell The thought that go through your mind, I can’t imagine I know you wanna be loved as much as you hate yourself Now all these people saying you crazy Heard it so long you start to believe it But I see faith when I gaze into your eyes young lady It means nothing unless you look in the mirror and see it [Verse] I hope to reach your spirit, because you need to hear it I swear you have the strength to be nothing but fearless Your house is feeling like less and less of a home In a room full of people is when you feel most alone That patron had you on a roller coaster Figure if you’d drown in bottles, you’d find your emotions. Stay focused Don’t like to listen but I need for you to trust me Don’t ever associate yourself with the word ugly. You’re lovely Stop the tears, you don’t need the stress Really you just need to smile more and maybe think less Say you’re not enough. Ayo that claim is ridiculous When it’s coming from a person who’s beauty’s conspicuous Yo you sell yourself short. Depression settled in You can feel it, yeah you said it. You don’t wanna get tested Now your parents not believing you. Times like this when you need em too I comprehend why you think life is unbelievable You’re not alone. We gon’ overcome these obstacles and Prove that happiness isn’t farfetched and illogical I’m not sure if you need some advice But you shouldn’t have to cry yourself to sleep every night. I wish you could see, just what I see in you. You’re such a blessing. Here’s your reflection if needed proof Soul is fluorescent I’m guessing it’s shades of green and blue Presence is prevalent even when you leave the room. Look, so imma need for you to Meet with these voices and demand that they’ll be leaving soon See what I speak is true. I know it’s dark but when the Storm clears, you’ll shine and this delicate seed and breathe and bloom Let positivity find you And just in case you forgot, let me remind you With every step you take know that I’m right behind you And when I know that you’re alright, then I’ll be fine too… [Refrain/w Akeem] And I’ll be fine too When I know that you’re okay then I’ll be fine too Let positivity find you… [Solo from Akeem] [Hook] [Outro] You just gotta believe it… Yeah. You just gotta believe it
8.
[Hook] What is the look of? It got something to do with um. Being a man and handling your biz What love got to do with it *j dilla shit* You know that love is (4x) [Verse] Big D be on that love shit. And you’ve barely seen an ounce of it I can’t wrap my mind around why you won’t bounce and shit Been together a couple years. Yeah that’s lovely But now, you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. Girl trust me. Constantly stressed out, can barely eat or sleep. No appetite. And you up all night to catch em if he creeps See that’s a shame, I know you stronger than that. And every day you claim you can’t go any longer. In fact I know you’d rather be in this relationship. Steady sad as shit Instead of being alone and focused on your happiness We both know he doesn’t love you at all But when he put his hands on you that should’ve been the last straw Oh you didn’t think I knew? Well I saw it from the start You gave it away because you’re wearing black shades up in the dark It’s the middle of summer, ya neck wrapped up in a scarf. And This the same man who you vowed to give your heart? Some self-respect, mixed with dignity is what you’re lacking It’s just a little advice, not relationship bashing I look at you and I truly start to tear up Cause you can’t even see there’s still beauty in the mirror Ugh. Just listen to your soul. Gotta let it go Your heart was meant to shine, just gotta let it show Best believe I’m always there if you need to talk When you’re sick of all this pain just get up and walk Away. Cause girl. You know what love is [Hook] (4x)
9.
[Verse] Without music life would be a mistake And I love it so much, that’s why I see it as great Shit I was chillin in the womb, all I could hear was a beat And now I hear it at all times. Never keep it discrete. You see I wanna make that timeless fucking music for days And at the same time I know my future children could play Like leave a legacy to make em feel proud of they pops In hopes they’ll understand the culture and the sounds of hip hop As for now? Shit my focus is to educate youth Teach these kids not to be concerned what radio do That’s too many politics. Encourage them to get out they art And when they’re lost, I’ll lead em on the right path to start. Ugh. And don’t believe the images up in these videos Show the girls their more than just ass, hips, and toes You’re beautiful and smart. If they can’t see it then they’re blind Just prove em wrong baby girl cause you were meant to shine. Yeah… you were meant to shine. Just wanna see you shine So shine.
10.
[Verse] Nigga I’m broke as fuck. But like a first shift job, I feel like I should get paid when I open up Only a dollar and a dream. You can hear my wallet scream Living this way just make it seem like life is bogus bra. Meth was right. Cash rules everything around me. If I ever get this cream then my nigga I’m outtie This rapping for free is underrated. I need a check Built up a tolerance where the sess won’t even ease my stress I need a ref. I’m not official enough It’s a crime the way I rhyme. Ayo these bars make me resemble McGruff Can my music get them residuals huh? Without lies and compromise having to make my rhymes simple enough? The only selling out I’ll do is of arenas I’m Martin hip hop’s my Gina. We’re in love please believe us and. Yo. I gotta prove that I can make it to that Mainstream light, with some underground flava. Like. [Hook] You know I’m rapping kinda ill yall But fuck that I need them dolla dolla bills yall My folks can barely pay the bills yall So say it with me if it’s something you can feel yall I’m tryna make money money. Make money money money! (2x) And if not we gon’ take money money. Take money money money! (2x)
11.
[Verse] Ayo I’m tryna fuck the world but it aint nothing but a pipe dream They want that dope. I try my best to supply fiends Got high dreams of prolly crusing in a white/cream Bentley or a Lexus with Alexis. Eyes is lime green I put time and effort in my music. It’s free too. So it’ shouldn’t be a hassle just to listen to it Right? See that’s the mentality I thought you had But people make me feel as if all of my shit is trash I appreciate the ones who steady fucking with me I understand it’s more difficult to go indie From shows, to pushing out singles on the internet And a couple of cyphers. These fuckers aint found a nigga yet Shit. And I know takes time But I promise that it won’t discourage me from my grind All these people vibe to my shit. Bumping my rhymes And say that they can relate. I swear the feeling’s sublime It’s not enough though.. And being local got me loco Shit I could prolly go toe to toe with a pro. Yo Don’t mention me with these shitty fucks in Cincinnati Maybe I should switch to trap to make you niggas happy It’s good music and you barely have to pay for shit But what the fuck I gotta say to make you think I’m saying shit The things I spit, you savor it. Until you get the flavor. It’s good for the soul. This ain’t a game. But this that player shit Kobe Bryant of my city. Hope up on a Laker dick I stand by my product, hell no I won’t change for shit These slave artists sign deals for a whip and a chain If that’s the case then find a tree to be hanged… Hung I love blacks. But you fucks are steady on my nerves So I try to uplift your spirits while I’m rhyming these words Ha. If I’m the only one that tries to save em Our people gonna be the death of our own population The fuck happened to standing up for your rights? Never fall without a fight, standing tall throughout the night, huh? You can’t expect everything to be handed to you Just work hard if they don’t hand it, you demand it to you I’m the spirit of Huey and Malcom just watching Time take its toll. Hoping for a better outcome Soon we won’t have anymore history Keep at it, shit, it’ll be the end of we The Lord’s happy with me cause I’ve learned to repent Baptized my soul in the devils poison, bet that washed away my sins God, family, and culture is what I represent I breeze through these airy strings, that’s why I’m calling this the vent. Shit. [Outro] If you can’t respect that your whole perspective is wack Maybe you’ll love me when i….. Na. fuck that.

This an elaborate description of how wack you are Hip Hop I mastered the elements, a black avatar Let us (lettuce) get the cheese and carrots now I’m bragging bout a Salad bar.. how you ill if this is where the talent starts? You are listening to anti ignorance. The Fans might feel it, but ya man’s not into it. For whatever reason I got em still listening. In order to hate, shit you had to listen kid [Hook] This for my nerds in the burbs and my dudes in the street We gon’ rock to the rhythm and groove to the beat just Rock to the rhythm and groove to the beat like Rock to the rhythm and groove to the… This for my nerds in the burbs and my dudes in the street We gon’ rock to the rhythm and groove to the beat just Rock to the rhythm and groove to the beat like Rock to the rhythm and groove to the beat. Aye hol’up [Verse 2] I pray this reached the masses It’s music to make you think as if I’m teaching classes I’m in ya mind like a shrink you can’t believe this happened I bring the funk like I stink, you know it’s real once you blink. And your Subconscious in sync (N’Sync) just like you’re Chris KirkPatrick Take it in like a drink. It’s food for thought. I wanna open ya mind like kitchen cabinets Ha. And though i’m rhyming. This ain’t simple rapping. Just know I got ya back like expensive fabric in a casket Emcing, breaking, and scratching, is what you niggas lacking Spraying graffiti on the walls of my city I want you all rolling with me, standing tall as we rise up Subtract the haters, add the believers, the can’t divide….us I pray this reaches the ears of Dilla up in the sky Gave me respect, and dapped me up and say “my nigga that’s fly” See I wanna introduce that soul to the world And show that we can all glow without the jerry curl [Hook]

[Intro] Go… Feel It Ugh. Y-yo feel it. It’s fantastic. Ugh. Feel it. SoulMusic like.. Right… Right.. (4x) One time.. For ya mind.. (4x) [Hook] D-o-p-e Girl I got the weed and blow that you need Got it for the low cause I know you fiend So baby lets roll and smoke with me I know what you need (2x) [Verse] This is more than life. Lyrics they help you breathe Melodies pump the blood to increase the longevity Drums where the heart is. Every kick represents a pulse Intertwine them all, and every time you gon’ get some soul This is that crack rock. The plan is to overdose And you never gon’ detox, let that poison just take control Syringes are in ya arm. You sniff all my dope lines Reality is dark. One hit of this and ya soul shines Jonesing from withdraws. The feeling just ain’t the same Need it because you fiending like please take away the pain. Buyer? Well I’ll supply ya my prices are dirt cheap. Cause I Hate to see a customer of mine looking so weak Got it back in ya system. You search for that first high Long for that first tune. So much you can touch the sky Impossible to abuse it with this you just flow through it And it’s exclusive….. this is dope music Yo they call this shh dope music. Now. Overdose to it [Hook]
14.
[Intro] Ugh. We take it back like.. yo One time for ya mind Open ya chakras dude Ha. If you never heard the term, I’m probably talking to you Like.. like.. like… ugh. [Hook] Jump up and ready to fuck shit up now shit (8x) Go left.. Go left… Go left right left (x4) [Verse] Are you living, or you just existing? If life’s a game, then you don’t wanna loose that competition Fuck the world even if you ain’t in the right position Nigga listen we tryna enlighten you with wisdom. Ugh This is a test and yall are failing yall assignments How you open to the world and yet you living closed minded? Ugh Theory. Philosophy. Teach you bout the chakra yo the World ain’t what it seem, since birth, you were told lies patna From this point on, don’t let a nigga tell you shit Question everything. Assume its false if there’s no evidence. Ugh Expose the brain to the 7th dimension. Yo heaven is glistening. The devil tricks with hellish intentions And telling his henchmen we’re weak. And that we all fear him. How? When the demons are inside us. Oh you hear me now? Take that fist of yours and raise it Make em fucking change shit until we’re dead. Cruising in that spaceship. Take this. [Hook] [Verse 2] I’m not a man. I’m a manifestation of molecules and The universe’s law. And What it chose to show. And everybody Hopes to know and make a new theory. New theory. Then they’ll become the crunchiest cashew in the nut grove It ain't just want government that have got a double standard What about people ruthlessly defending scientific answers? If it defies evolution, harpoon it. It’s superstition. That’s superstitious, mass hypocrisy and all the schools your kids in With that kind of thinking there wouldn’t have been advancements “If it clashes with our current understanding then it’s false Forget the facts I’m just believing what I’m told” You trapped in Trances like an LSD induced desert based music festival The same strategy under the oppressive regime of China’s propaganda Hateful eyes against the healing miracles of Falun Dafa Literally millions of modern medical miracles throughout the 90s Unexplained. You hate in vain and break ya thoughts.. lost in your findings [Hook] [Outro] SoulMusaaacccc… SoulMusic Big D putting on for Cincinnati One time one time ugh!
15.
[Verse] What if I left today? Would they put me in a Special place? And is it safe to say I’ll get to heavens gates? Is it bad that I questioned faith? And did you Really listen, or have my fans been lead astray? Some think it’s sad I can’t control my own issues When I die I hope you all take a piece of my soul with you Ugh. Yeah. Leave my legacy with the listeners In hopes the next 5 generations can feel it bra And as you lookin’ at my tombstone Celebrate my life, don’t act like the grooves gone Never shed a tear. Just recognize the dude’s home My only wish is bump all of my shit. Not just 2 songs Fuck.. Am I worth ya time To study every verse and line? Know I’m slicker than turpentine I mean. All I wanted to do was birth a rhyme In hopes that someone heard it and they felt they soul burn inside I wonder if I accomplished it I bet nobody even thought of it Well now it’s too late As long as the beat is banging bass they don’t give a fuck about what you say So while you dudes hate. Imma do great.. Just let me do great… Yeah… let me do great…

about

A lot of things have changed from The Elegant Project to now. I've matured, and changed views about a lot of things. This body of work i a product of all those things. I'm really about progression, and that's all i wanted to do, was progress. I consider this to be modern Boom Bap. But all in all, SoulMusic. Which means, music that feels good to listen to and you feel something after listening. Don't wanna ramble on too long. But thank you to everyone that was involved. I love you more than words can express. More good music to come in the future. Respect. Peace, & Love yo.
