LOMBARDI

Chorus

I got trophies
My negus got lombardis
Eagle eye the prize
Who in hell could stop me
Trophies
Got my Fawohodie!
When i black out call me holy holy

Verse 1

Blame carolina for that 2 3 swag
4th quarter, we the ones to advance
You better check ur mans
I know the shooter and his doctors too
In real life all my raps is the truth
And I'm the black babe ruth
The way i called it out before it was fact
Yall Keanu yall don't know how to act.
You better stick to the script
This the part where the real ones win
Nthelab yea we did it again

Verse 2

I came in the game with a flame to my name
AZA really will wrestle the reign
From all of you jokers and posers and lames
Not here for the money or power or fame
But imma get all that too
Nthelab yea we paid our dues
Paul pierce cause im really the truth
Superman when i step in the booth
Man we came along way from rockin Payless sneaks
to Costa Rica boogie boards on the beach
Like life is a peach
We paid it all, sweat blood and tears
Nthelab baby, this our year!

Not Your Type

Chorus
I apologize i know I'm not your type
She said she wanna hood nigga
Drug money, fast cars

Verse 1

She said promises are for fools
And I didn't make the rules
But i can play by em
And she wont stay, i am
Lost in the pieces
Tryna get even

Verse 2

He said promises are for fools
And I didn't break the rules
But i can play by em
And I wont stay, i am
Lost in the pieces
Did we get even?

Choices

feat Uni

Chorus

No revolution if you can’t take the heat
Freedom isn’t given, and it sure as hell ain’t free

Verse 1

New slaves, Old game
Just look at your last name
He said he had no choice
Livin in the fast lane
That sounds right
Get the marijuana light
We here for the night
And She here for tonight
Can we smoke it all away
No pain, no way
Thats my fault
Thats our loss  
She said hearts they don’t unbreak
I thought of Coretta
She asked was that the FBI callin your phone
he said
Too much pressure
Just a late night endeavor
You know they be callin my phone
Heal a nation, break a home

Verse 2

Colin took a knee
Then he took the fall
He don’t got a job
We was watchin ball
New slaves, Old game
Tell me what’s your last name
new choices
Cause we the new voices
We the new Malcolms
Hit em for a ransom
Ancestors please give strength to me
They said the truth will set us free
The truth will set us free

High Frequency

Chorus

Out my mind, out of sight
We live a different type of life
The Frequency higher than marley
Smokin ganja on a flight
Now That's really really high
And since music never dies
My energy be here forever
Nthelab is the vibe

Out my mind, out of sight
We Live a different type of life
The Frequency higher than marley
Smokin ganja on a flight
Now That's really really high
And since spirit never dies
My energy be here forever
Nthelab is the vibe

Verse 1

Some a yall lost the spirit
What u put out, we dont wanna hear it
Low vibe low vibe
These artist ain't servin up scriptures
Just a bunch of bad opinions
I was the one that was missin
Feel the change, see the vision
Say my name, say my name
Then Tell em Allah sent him
my cousin just got out the prison
That's why my calls he was missin
We was just tryna do business
I know the law never listens
Tell ur ppl pay attention
We was just givin out lessons
We was just given yall blessins
May we all win’s what the family sprays
Maybe I’m manic been up for 3 days
Only talk to the law when the lawyer fee straight
Anything else they gon use what you say
Against you, im learnin nothin is safe
Only for those who walk in the way
X told the feds he would never confess
Shotgun, close range, straight to the chest.

Verse 2

AZ givin yall doctrines
I was meditatin in the south end
I was levitatin on a mountain
I was givin out good counselin
We know the mental is everything
I went and got a degree for that
We know as above so below
We know calibration of the poles
We know calculations for the soul
Money is everything
When u have everything else
We gotta do it ourself
The prophet always dies first
Put my body in the dirt
Put my words in a book
and the rest in a hook
Even jesus had a cross
Malcolm x took a loss
Life doesn’t take long
Death is nothing to the strong

UNLIKELY STORIES

Chorus

We grind
Beast time
Then kick back by the seaside
We shine  
Free minds
You cant see us, we high
I'll never die till I give it up
Another life so i live it up
It's still a game so i leveled up

We grind
Beast time
Then kick back by the seaside
We shine  
Free minds
Paid the price to be light
I'll never die till I give it up
Another life so i live it up
It's still a game so i leveled up

Verse 1

I don’t know if i deserve it
I made mistakes but I didn't pay
I really didn’t do it perfect
Hope in the end I'm worth shit
I’m really hopin I could take it
Things change and people change
I'm feelin real isolated
Is this the price of greatness?
But Daddy gave orations
You can win it if you hold tight
You can lead it if you earn sight
You can do it if you work right
Praises be to the old slaves
New kings, to the old ways
On solid rock I stand
Black Power from my land

Pre Chorus 1

Once i was just a dream
Mommy manifested me
Said she knew what I could be
She said the prophecy was real
Just a boy from trinidad
When we finally get what we never had
We unlikely stories
Work for the family’s glory

Verse 2

There is no truth before liberation
This took generations
And I was patient,
been tellin J yo we gotta make it
We did it all for the mission and yeah we really be groovin
But this is more than the music, this is a movement
We can do anything, word to the city
My mind elevated, but keepin it Gritty
We doin the work, its a lifestyle
We can conquer it all in a lifetime
Daddy beat these bad ways  
Mommy kissed my face
I was headed for the precipice
Was amazing grace.

Pre chorus 2

Once i was just a dream
Mommy manifested me
Said she knew what i could be
She said the prophecy was real
Daddy gave me soul
Music made me whole
We unlikely stories
Just give the family glory

Outro

Daddy beat these bad ways  
Momma kissed my face
I was headed for the precipice
Was amazing grace.

I had done all the math
Some of it didn’t add
We unlikely stories
Told em give Jah glory!

For Pain

Chorus

Woke up this morning feeling good yea
We be still livin in the hood yea
Still give jah thanks for the good yea
And I'm still tryna live like I should yea
The news said the sky is fallin
Told my daughter don’t worry darlin
We have the ancient recipe
They said love was our frequency
And we'll all be free someday

Interlude

Put your hands to the sky if you feel the vibe
Put your hands to the sky if you feel the vibe
Put your hands to the sky if you feel the vibe
And may you really find your peace of mind

Verse 1

I told my nigga that the pain was the key yea
Before we didn't know what we could really be yea
I had to struggle just to find a bit of peace yea
We had to study up on all of the beliefs yea
Why do we take these breaths?
Why do we take these steps?
How can I right these wrongs?
How could I be so wrong?
That's why we write these songs
I was just tryna find relief yea
Drink a little bit, go chief keef yea
I wanna hear the message rockin in the streets yea
Cause we the sources of the answers that we seek yea
Cause we the sources of the answers that we seek yea
Man i said that it was ripe

This my second life
This is livin for the light, come on

Verse 2

They said more good days coming
Gotta feel more pain for abundance
Bad shit happens every day yea
But we the real ones tryna make a way yea
Just tryna find a way to make a space yea
Just tryna find a way to the grace yea
Free the mind let my spirit run the race yea
I hope my kids just be happy that I made them
I'm just tryna find my way to patience.
I'm just tryna master all the basics
PG parties we was rockin in the basement
Music had a way to chase away the anguish
I was just tryna find relief yea
Drink a little bit, go chief keef yea
I wanna hear the message rockin in the streets yea
Cause we the ones with the answers that we need here!

cONTEMPLATION

Bl4ck History, I am black history

No mystery

We’ve been here since the infancy

In fancy words we can paint a verse

Excise Ham’s curse

as we rise

We livin lessons to die

Just Meet up in the sky

Now Tell the youth to survive

Nah tell the youth we shall thrive

Now Tell the youth we came up on the other side

We them guys

did alot for the tribe

did alot to get by

Food stamps with a smile

No weapon shall harm me

I praise Allah for my army

I thank the buddha for sutras

give Joy to Jah for my journey

A mighty long way

We’ve seen the darker days

Eyes hazy, mind cloudy

you would be amazed

We on a brighter wave

My team they light up the room

We on that purple haze

Deliberating on consequences of Jim crow

Like my people did alot but still the wins low.

Freedom

If freedom is death let me die

If freedom is life let me live it in the skies

Free all of my negus tell em we know who we are, praise jah

With light there’s equality for all

If freedom was a dream let me sleep

Let all of the universe take a hold of me

Life is but a dream, close your eyes and you will see.

So I chose to wake up to reality

Opened up my mind, told my spirit it could lead

Now we operating on a whole other degree

Seeing things I never really thought that I could see

Being things I never really thought that I could be.

In the land of the vipers

Works the hands of the righteous

Tryna spread the message

To the ones still fightin

Cause the leaders near sighted

We will never lose to the liars

Truth reigns supreme, and my science is established

The panthers spoke truth

gave protection to the masses

Gave out food, taught classes

The government destroyed them from within, that's Savage

So who do you trust

when the crack hit the streets?

Nah Who do I trust when they

Lookin for suspects that look like me?

May the 3rd eye ever see.

If freedom is death let me die

If freedom is life let me live it in the skies

Free all of my negus tell em we know who we are, praise jah

With light there’s equality for all

In this illusion why my people been losin

I had to study history to clear up the confusion

Supreme math governin the path of the chosen

I'm tryna light the path out of Goshen

Bob had called it exodus

System wasn’t hearin us.

X had took the hit for us

Medgar yea they hit him up

Fred Hampton got litten up

We are not so ignorant to think this is coincidence

we still need deliverance

Can’t say too much too soon

In times we will rise say the suns and the moons

In times we will fly, we made jazz out of doom

We made stars out of gloom in america

even had a president.

We are just the alchemists.

Next we become mentalists.

They always kill the messenger

If freedom is death let me die

If freedom is life let me live it in the skies

Free all of my negus tell em we know who we are, praise Jah

With light there’s equality for all

If freedom was a dream let me sleep

Let all of the universe take a hold of me

Life is but a dream, close your eyes and you will see.

So I choose to wake up to reality

God

REACH

We was really reaching for the skies my lord

Spirit told me that i had to try my lord

My nigga sold some bricks, a couple pies my lord

So u know had to do it for my guys my lord

We was really reaching for the skies my lord

Spirit told me that i had to fly my lord

My nigga sold some bricks, a couple pies my lord

So u know had to get it for my tribe my lord

We really only had a couple chances

Life was not a fairy tale romantic

My girl was lookin at me like a stranger

the family was in danger

The devil tried to snatch me from my manger

I battled everything that he could think up

We did it for the culture, for the thinkers

Just come thru to my party we gon link up

High Vibes, we keeps it live, and that's a change up

My cousin outta jail, I told him stay up

My LB lost his mind, I told him lay up

One day I’ll get the bag, I’ll have the paper

Now he could work for us and that’s a layup

See thats the type of moves im tryna make up

I could lead the people out of Goshen

But If u dont believe then you dont know shit

I’m Sicker, I’m the nigga with the potion

She move her body, set this shit in motion

I’m learning how to give you my emotions

So you can see your way across the ocean

Reach up to the skies my lord

Spirit told me that i had to fly my lord

My nigga sold some bricks, a couple pies my lord

So u know had to get it for the tribe my lord

Dready with the medley Look I’ve been who i am

We just for the culture, for the fam and the fans

I could never sell my soul, but hope the music sell a bit

People be vibin at my shows, power from the melanin

Plus we soundin like the veterans

Plus I got the medicines

Wav$ just keep it icy

Gettin pricey for a set of stems

Shit was lookin dicey

Workin nightly, just to get the rent

We was never settlin

Now we just the better men

I just want my daughter to have nice shit that I bought her

Want my son to have all knowledge just before

he goes to college

Cause this class shit is real

And they was learnin shit that a class couldn't teach

And I was tryna fit in, tryna figure out the deal

I was tryna make a mil

Then I figured I'm that nigga

So i gotta keep it real

So when we aim, its for the truth

Only winnin never lose

When this dream seems a nightmare

just measure life in light years

I was steady makin plans

That was way before the gram

I was down in maryland

Beantown is where i land nigga

I can only bring deliverance

If you play us a little bit

We give u the truth cause we livin it up

Reach reach up to the skies my lord

Tell all of our niggas just to try my lord

We got higher powers, we can fly my lord

And when you get on don’t forget about your guys my lord

Reach reach up to the skies my lord

Tell all of your niggas just to try my lord

We got higher powers, we can fly my lord

So dont you ever let up, never die my lord

Consistent

What you know about that late night

Thoughts cloudy

drinking coffee at midnight

Like if i get 1 hour of sleep

I could probably make it up next week

This dissertation won't write itself

I didn't make it here alone

But i got to do this on my own

And i aint done it still

never got nothin in a will

So i gotta do this for my kids

Pharaohs don't break

AZA was a God in a past life

The Ancients

They used to Praise Ra for the sunlight

I felt power, when i found my mind

That was Ancestors right on time. Consistent

Young AZ conquered the odds

Do the math, that was on my God

I was on my grind,

back then we would listen to Ye beats

Before T.wav$ was wavy

We listened to samples

Like yo Kanye crazy

But now T crazy

May the whole world play me

And we in the lab (NtheLab)

Young black boy beat the stats

Put the whole team on our back. Consistent

What you know about having a vision

But not knowing if they'd listen. That's Moses

with the staff in his hand

He didn't make it to the promised land. Consistent

Back when Kobe still wore his 8

I never thought that i could be this great

But i was on my way

Took some years but we finally say

You could put that burden on my plate

Took some years but I finally say

You could put that burden on my plate

Back when Kobe still wore his 8

I never thought that we could be this great

But we was on our way

Took some time but we finally say

put the whole world on our plate

Cause Pharaohs don't break

AZA was a God in a past life

The Ancients

They used to Praise Ra for the sunlight

I felt power, when i found my mind

That was Ancestors right on time. Consistent

Young AZ conquered the odds

Do the math, that was on my God

I was on my grind,

back then we would listen to Ye beats

Before T.wav$ was wavy

We listened to samples

Like yo Kanye crazy

But now T crazy

May the whole world play me

And if not, music saved me

No power on earth.

Can’t tame me. Jah way

before Yeshua was white

We beat the drums till the end of the night

Yea Music saved us

Spirit sang songs to slaves

We made it through in the land of the braves

Pharoahs don't break

AZA was a God in a past life

The Ancients

They used to Praise Ra for the sunlight

I felt power, when i found my mind

That was Ancestors right on time. Consistent

Young AZ conquered the odds

Do the math, that was on my God

I was on my grind,

back then we would listen to Ye beats

Before T.wav$ was wavy

We listened to samples

Like Kanye crazy

But now T crazy

music saved me.
