High Standards
Cuz I got high Standards R Version’s the Name
Chorus-
Always working on myself cuz I got high standards
Drinking top shelf - I got high standards
Climbing towards wealth - I got high standards
Do it for my health cuz I've got high standards
Change in the view cuz I got high standards
Just me and my crew I got high standards
for love not the fame I got high standards
R Versions the name cuz I got high standards
Verse 1
Like how I go as the poet,
Didn't know before but I'll show it
No one overdoses on trees
I've come close look where it's gotten me
Marvel at the scenery
Scenic city and it is tainted ain't for the faint of heart see where you play your part
Nodding off on long nights
Drinking on these long flights
Flashing lights are so bright
Banana banana a ananananna
Smoking potent midnight rolling
That's not I'm what I'm in it for
Fear and loathing seeing me roaming
Til I fill a super dome
Still unidentified
Selfishly unsatisfied
Real can't objectify
Nick EP yeah he that guy
In the summer Coo-chi hunter born stunner getting blunted
Homie I won't ever stop even after I've done it
There fore I run it, big Pun It, demanding you love it
All we got is R standards see how music is plummeting
Where is the love in these lyrics
Where's the Mother Fucking spirit
It's like lightning what I'm writing
We're the thunder when you need it, Hey
Chorus-
Always working on myself cuz I got high standards
Drinking top shelf - I got high standards
Climbing towards wealth - I got high standards
Do it for my health cuz I've got high standards
Change in the view cuz I got high standards
Just me and my crew I got high standards
for love not the fame I got high standards
R Versions the name cuz I got high standards
Verse 2
Lets Get it...
Going a mile a minute with desire I'm giving
Take a ride to finish won't catch me eyeing these women
Hold a higher value fly up out this altitude
Hoping I don't ground you pop another valium
Zoom I'm all alone in the room just a king in his tomb
Find a way to get through
You can have high standards don't have all the answers
best kept secret rolling off the canvas
Like the paint to the brush there's no erasing this stuff
I was made from this stuff there's no way you could touch
My measure my stand my hunger oh man
I'm on it again please don't call it the end
I got more let it spin I'm flying off the axis
See if you can catch this think you need some practice
I'll rap this and the beat is so classic
Set the bar too high to go and let you trash it
Chorus-
Always working on myself cuz I got high standards
Drinking top shelf - I got high standards
Climbing towards wealth - I got high standards
Do it for my health cuz I've got high standards
Change in the view cuz I got high standards
Just me and my crew I got high standards
for love not the fame I got high standards
R Versions the name cuz I got high standards

Advancing
Chorus-
Come on now how about y'all take ur chances
Follow me you can see were advancing
(repeat 4 Times)
Verse 1
Cartoon in a world filled with antics
Trying to get a word in advancement
Off the page and I feel so amazing
Got the name from Pesci but no relation
Lit off the globe fuck the demeanor you hold ain't gon lift you up on the pedestal head is swole
Hyped on the gasoline and your ass a dream
But you ain't worth the small talk if you askin me
Skip chi chat chattering and all the flattering
Pick the middle stall and get to battering
I need advancement if your borrowing time of mine
Coming outta line interrupting a rhyme no dime
Can cash out when live in a glass house
Hoping you pass out shutting that damn mouth
Zip it I'm like a frog bout to rip it
Pick it stick it Advancement on the ticket
Verse 2
You need get up get out and get something
set up and be the outkast amongst other thing
Not petty cash I'm talking diamond rings
Must struggle til the point until your benefiting
My pops is negative as hell its aggravating
Anywheres a better fit advanced from the basement
Stayed in the south still solving this equation
thoughts racing im getting impatient
Partially Caucasian go back a couple generations
Caught in a pickle I'll get out long as my calculations are correct my sights are set
and ill Make the right move when I'm in check
I won't rest until I reach success
I don't stress Or won't mess where the others nest
before you intercept I expect the same respect
Before you intervene be cautious on my streets
Before ludacris who's known disturbing the peace
Nosy neighbors they be peeping me through the crease
Yeah Me I'm Nick EP getting chills thru these frequencies
Come advance with me
Thru music we become the centerpiece
R version of hip hop peace Mother Fuckers
Come on now how about y'all take ur chances
Follow me you can see were advancing
(repeat 4 times)
Get up, get out and get
Get up, get out and get
Get up, get out and get
Get up, get out and get
Get up, get out and get Something

Oddest Of Instances
tying knots in your loose ends I'm the rudest
You don't have enough change to make two cents
Hail Mary to your dump off
You a cup off from being a drunk lost
Barreling tongue swearing in
What's fair again go pair wit them
Imma square to your circle red blue to purple
Imma Colorful dude will work you in myrtle
Rhymes is heavy so I'm in the gym gettin fit again
Give me ten lap a friend
Own the corner middle ceiling the tile
I'll done ya a riddle my feeling is pile
No oxygen I'm boxing in
Love the high so much why detox again
Keep it cloudy and you know I'm rowdy
So you can Say what you want about me
Always knew about these things
Never knew it would change
my world my world my world
(Repeat 2x)
in the oddest of instances
We're fully resistant
Providing assistance
No copyright infringements
Plot thickens gotta keep spitting
Slick with the rhythm LaLa twisting
Power is only thing that's keeps me going
here to get it now it's urgent
Persevered no ones perfect
Come on come on let me talk
Let me take you for a long walk
Let me show you how I've Been
improving since New York
Carry on keep on going hammer away
Better be tenacious, determined in ways
Leave no stone unturned, start a new page
Wont take no for answer til our records gets played
Hitting every angle til we really truly dominate
Skeptic and tangled done with being finagled
wrangled, dangled this is for the star spangled
all around the world lyrical Angels
Always knew about these things
Never knew it would change
my world my world my world
(Repeat 2x)
we all have to eat right?
More than happy with a meal a night
Do the healing right
tell me what's that feeling like
Nobody's likely to jock our Melody
Synthesized symphony smoking like a chimney
Epic this shits an epidemic
elegant, intelligent
This is the only hip hop that's relevant
venting for your benefit
From the fundamentalist
underestimate this ain’t the final take
celebrate this ain't the time or place
Dealing with the hardest phase
Allow me to rephrase
Work then work I hardly ever take a break
I'll proceed to change
The entirety of the hip hop game
Because the man who steps in water
Is not the same man nor is the river the same
Cuz I'm iust saying
Step in water I’ve stepped farther
And I'm evolving to sustain
I deserve the finer things, so my grind won't change
Bada bing bada boom I'll just let the fire blaze
Always knew about these things
Never knew it would change
my world my world my world
(Repeat 2x)

One Day
Parts like where it comes in, You gotta catch a beat!
(Intro/bridge thru chorus)
One Day
One Day
One Day
One Day
One Day
One Day and I said and I Said
Verse 1
This ain't how life without the perks
bending over backwards something absurd
working for assurance still go against the current
No I don't want to be stuck here, permanent
came saw and about to conquer
Seeking investments sharks will you sponsor?
contents a bit ridiculous
Cannot be conspicuous
Hop on the magic school bus with Nickolas
One day I won't have a one track mind
Yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind
I'm unfathomed with glory and pride
Remain unsigned a fact it Boils down to the
sound when it's around me I Vibe
I'll wait a few minutes until the storm subsides
On the downside still ungratified
We'll be here a while Still designated as classified
Chorus-
One day i won’t have a one track mind
yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind
I Said One Day One Day One Day One Day
i Said One day i won’t have a one track mind
yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind
I Said One Day One Day One Day
i won’t have a one track mind
Verse 2
Heard they wanted something different just say so
Ain't gotta do nothing but get in the right mode
Put me up to the test expect I'll come correct
Don't wait don't contemplate a second
With out you I'll make it deep down I'm a chaser,
With out a doubt I'll take it, no minutes wasted
Won't wait for the tables to turn, lousy 40 hour paychecks I’m earning
Some of us earn commission And others gotta make budget cuts
They take from how we're living
Look at what the system does to us
our pockets taking a cut, they're numbers go up
Expected to set the pace and not wait up
I'm ready time to savor now or later
expected to set the pace not wait up
Accept me, tho I'll never ask for favors
Smooth Techniques, notify ur neighbors
Snooze thru the bells Knock on every door
For the hell the only options to stay up out the jail cell
With out leaving a snails trail it never fails
The times for you decide fate, heads or tails
Toss it up in the air, execute no matter what it entails
I said toss it up in the air, execute no matter what it entails Oh Well
Chorus-
One day i won’t have a one track mind
yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind
I Said One Day One Day One Day One Day
i Said One day i won’t have a one track mind
yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind
I Said One Day One Day One Day
i won’t have a one track mind
Verse 3
Slip the vinyl on yeah I'm trying to be on
Need to borrow time waiting in line this long
Every rhyme I jotted down an exercise
After this workout let's see if the rest survive
Fed up to brim where to begin keep the trash in the bin before I have to come in
Your outta bounds again my styles a ten
I get in where you only pretend you young men
Did my message send sorry I was outta service
hadda purpose forgetting what the verse is
what the words is i jumble em up tripped and fumbled em up
Tab I'm running it up did I bring enough
Best hit since the crack rock
you and your girl done playin coming for your Xbox
Should we see what the rest got you wet mop in a stretch top
this rookies no prescott
Chorus-
One day i won’t have a one track mind
yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind
I Said One Day One Day One Day One Day
i Said One day i won’t have a one track mind
yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind
I Said One Day One Day One Day
i won’t have a one track mind

To Be Free
Chorus
I'd rather be free yeah
(repeated 4x)
no more than a memory
Verse 1-
To cope I wrote hoping I didn't wake up
was 22 many years on the shake up
If it Meant staying up being brave enough
Provide the right flavor to this rapping stuff
Sick and tired of being locked down fed up
like I'm underwater trying to get my head up
Feeling like I'm hungry but I ate all the bread up
Tired of always clocking in punching out for lunch
Smoking too much not getting drunk enough
Free to do what I mean do as I please
Keep a guard up defense is key
Carlos Hyde on my feet, strong leaping beast wouldn't hide if you were begging me
My pedigree is Hennessy mixed within my blood stream
Rather be free no matter what your telling me
Going unnoticed losing then focus on a center beam
I will pursue my dreams believe me
Ripleys I push thru these sixteens
Obscene routine it's supreme
Imma be free let me be
Simply keeping it filthy
Nick EP R Version of Hip Hop peace
Chorus-
I'd rather be free yeah
(repeated 4x)
no more than a memory
Verse 2
Weight is feeling heavy grant me serenity
If not the enemy hand me the remedy
Troubled in a daze looking for ways
Above minimum wage coming of age
I need a moment givin what you stolen
Tried to be open but you keep going
On and on like a stripped screw disrespect who
hate to interject you
subject you kept galling kept name calling
Now I'm all in Quit stalling
Remove the equation being a patient
Not knowing my way and dues that I'm payin
Fuck that I see conspiracy not playin fair to me
That's why there's not a care in me
So bare wit me I'm breaking all the chains
Like broken water mains I'm mind altering
Chorus-
I'd rather be free yeah
(repeated 4x)
no more than a memory

Unfolding
Verse 1
To make a hundred dollars would you slave or even bother
would you crave what you create or leave it drawn up
Not execute me I'm spitting knowledge the truth
where Execution is crucial thats when you love what you do
It's like a Rubiks cube to figuring out my next move
In a couple days still got rent due Fuck it guess I better tie my shoes
I prefer bending the rules Hike it then I jock and juve
Known to get you in the groove True true I still got more to do
Believe it's true there's no who Believes in you but you
Slightly cookoo but writings getting me thru Using protools to show fools my flows cool
social, local and soon to be global Get us directly on your mobile
Feel your touched with my emotions
See what's affecting these emotions
Reinfected with the potion
Once they're hearing this commotion
We're the best this side of the ocean
Believe me I'm working and hoping
Chorus-
What comes to me I must unfold Im not
going to live my life and regret it though
verse 2
Take my medication thoughts in meditation
Built up no relation to any of the patients
No patience thoughts racing
How to break the pack and end up on a station
Bumping tunes r version on a loop
Acoustic in the rooms falling down the chute
What's new wit the status money on the mattress
TJ laid the beat just so I could rap this
My word latches to whatever hatches
Snapping flicks off the feed seeing if it captures
Whats behind the curtain try and find what's certain
Spit wit so much emotion think my rhymes are hurting
Caught flirting wit the wrong type been a long night
I don't know if I could even sing the song right
Everything cloudy seeing all around me
Nothing that can ground me quit speaking loudly
Always wit the pitch up you can keep that bitch shut
Lift the bridge up so they seeing if I trip up
Is it a mix up didn't plan it out
Typed so many bars my thumbs is wearing down
Scratch the record and I'm back it's as simple as that
Album on the way so I'm drinking to that
Cheers to the fam to the producer at hand
Cheers to the band hope you all become fan
Verse 3
As I'm making my selection know it's different from the rest
May take your suggestion won't settle for second best
The pedal I won't let up give it 100 percent
Since I entered the placenta
I've gained the right momentum
My agenda to the grave is be the element
Be the seed you saved that could've stopped your development
My styles insane where my shirts match the brim of my cap
and its stayed the same where my shirts match the denim
didn't know he had it like that
Didn't know we rattled like that
He's been battling now back intact
This takes you back when record scratched
We've always been overlooked lost in overcast
Search for salvation Forced to fall back
Be Known for taking chances life could end so fast
a fast break you haul ass,no jogging no stalling
No what ifs maybes or if ands about it
For my mother brother father whole crew that's for starters

Girls

Come on Let me take you where you want
I will make you runaway we'll run away far
Well go anywhere you want
Pick a place destination wherever
My place get you off lets hibernate thru this weather
I am N I to the C K EP
A trusted G recommended highly
Which is why they crawl back begging for repeat
John Cena vision now you can't see me
Want to take you places you ain't been before
Trying to dig out your inner nympho
In her throat so deep fuck up her lymph nodes
Like to smell that weed light up the Indo
King of the castle in my robe
I seek a future with it being on the road
Different city different show
I got them blowing up my phone
Put it on airplane mode
Like meeting new hoes from different area codes
Verse 2
So what you want I can tell you what i really want
Feeling drunk so you can dab me up another one
Check off a habit top of the dome blab it
Lie you sold had it off the fold magic
Dime is assist like my rhyme is to this
What a crime it is outta my mind as this
What I want is nice blunt fat ass on a nice slut
Some money would be nice fuck
Insulting me maybe I'm too grown to see
If the front doors locked find another opening
sweep in like the wind blow peter wit his thimble
Pan in the kindle keep it simple
What I want it's easy money would please me
Chilling on the beach you see me I'm freely
Living the good life wouldn't change if i could life
Trash man bring it to the hook like
Chorus-
Aint that just a damn shame we all want the same thing/thang
Weed

Verse 3
You can wonder what we are don't even label it baby
When you're under me during that session you're my lady
When we hibernate i'll rock your labia
I'm here to accommodate
More than two can play
I'm only saying
Know we all want the same thang
Bling bling some want real change
Bang bang from the streets where iT came
Ain't no where safe must escape from danger
Put my hood on dodging rain drops
Times are good could get better came from hard knocks
Here to dive in the game, where many flop
We're almost the top notch
R Version will never stop
Raise the curtain make it pop
This excursion has its perks
Leave em shocked you could hear a pin drop
Nick EP I'm hot hotter than a tea pot
Team mascot out the fire like a slingshot
Chorus
Aint that just a damn shame we all want the same thing/thang
Peace

Catching UP
Life is like a box of chocolates
Love is toxic, Why's he the target?
Hear em talking no need for arguing
Believe an awful lot of thoughts revolving
And all this time but where's it gone?
Don't deny what went wrong justify what were on
Let's divide even though our futures we must focus on
Karmas catching up to me
Always seems to hover me
Made her leave though, I don't need company
always tries to take me for something
What's there to take if I've got nothing
What a fools luxury
Played in Vegas be behind the shades bluffing
Facing changes so I'll remain tougher
Out burning rubber, stay alone under covers
Now I care who I let under I've shed my true colors
Used to not give a fuck, going out bagging duds
Reach a point where enough is enough
i had a hundred some don't even touch a dozen
Wheres all the love at we must’ve lost it
maybe never had it you mustve loved someone
and never let go you can’t forget yourself
and not regret some of the things i did
Pray that some day you’ll feel the same
pray that some day you’ll feel the same
that karma that karma that karma’s catching up to me
Use them til I've had enough nightly fun tag and dumping
Been with over hundreds same ain't even had a dozen
It's not that I'm a baker, but troubled hoes I savor
Where's all the love at you we must've lost it
Maybe never had it you must have loved someone and never let go
You can't forget yourself
And I regret some of the things I did
I pray some day you'll feel the same
I play some day you'll feel the same
Verse 2
Met this chick Melanie boy she had history
She'd say wouldn't believe what they did to me
Use to have the right plan wit the right man
Perfect storm brought the thunder to her lightning
Both cars in his name on the dotted line
She was What you called a dime Emotion over dollar signs
Thought she had it all but she was feeling trapped
Sneak out in the night and just keep on looking back
Brush it off and head to the club looking devilish
Feeling selfish so others couldn't tell which
She encountered before another night at the door
Back to the wall clothes on a strangers floor
Straight cheating every other weekend
So use to creeping had no trouble sleeping
Blood ran cold fell so deep to her soul
It began to take a toll heavy burden to hold
Thought would get away wit it and grew sloppy
Till the one night he caught her up in the lobby
Melanie it's over we're the last words he spoke to her
Kicked her outta the house and took the car he loaned to her
Was it worth it to see it blow up in your face
All over the place another head case
Karma comes around remember that coming down
no matter how many dudes you screw outta town
Chorus-
Wheres all the love at we mustve lost it
maybe never had it you mustve loved someone
and never let go you can’t forget yourself
and not regret some of the things i did
Pray that some day you’ll feel the same
pray that some day you’ll feel the same
that karma that karma that karma’s catching up to me
Bridge_
Karma Whoa Whoa
Karma Whoa Yeah Yeah Yeah
Karma Woooooo
Whoa whoa yeah that karma’s catching up to me
Karma is a bitch sweet sorrow Hearts getting whipped like theyre borrowed
Yesterday's gone working on tomorrow dodging those partners that aren't loyal
supposed to treat em like royalty So hold up what you're telling me
To treat it like my heart ain't severed or broken into pieces
We've all been conflicted by another
shifted flipped and ruined by those Brothas who turn to others
Karma is the thesis what's stripped me of my decency
At least it should come to peace and balance it equally
See frequently we're tempted to do evil things
Stealing feelings baby’s be scheming
Always Wheeling and dealing. Why they Using me then leaving
At the bar had your hand on his arm when i found out you were creeping
Which is Why I stick to potent
To drown my emotions summer time I'm in the oceans floating
Propose a toast from my standing point
Do anything to fill the void
Understand that my hearts not a toy

After the Best
Cruising down the ave and imma do me
Gotta spit this rap cause imma do me
Spitting circles all across the black top
Some rappers just rap about the have nots
Man I hope your trash flop imma do me
Think about what I say if you only knew me
No filter no realer comin fresh as a dealer
Throw a feeler
It's the confidence to know what your option is
Borrowing time like I don't who watch this is
Keep it fresh though dumb it down so it's simple
Skip the intro straight to the end note
Yeah you know that's right
we could pick up from where we left last night
But imma imma imma do me
No time for you you see nothing new to me
After the best have already gone
Left to perfect the world is born
Half of what's left is already lost
There is only one thing I want ( I want)
Cruising down the Ave and imma do me
Cruising down the Ave and imma do me
(Chopped, Mixed and Repeated)
Yeah Yeah Haha
Immortal technique Is somehow tempting
Some think it's unique were running on E
With no sleep if I blink might lose those close to me
Why I sing can't go off hopefully
Need groceries and potpourri
That's code for me I go for green
In other galaxies they call me buzzed lightning
infinity and beyond my writings they be on....
POINT,
Nick EP the boss y'all just peons
Y'all be soon to hear about us read on
Think i will follow your lead not
Talking trap the fuck you know about hip hop
hollow music how they've ruined it for you and I
Think i listen to what's new I stick with tupac
A little WU inside the womb is that true ma (Dear Momma)
I'm influenced by the roots of big poppa (Baby Baby)
The truth is I will work be a show stopper
My booth my loot rock both collars
Handle problems I'm all about my business partner
albums dropping im all about the vision partner
After the best have already gone (Born)
Left to perfect the world is born (Come On)
Half of what's left is already lost (but not for long)
There is only one thing I want. (I want)
It's no joke running out of options
So I chose and wrote down my problems
From up north boot legs and tube socks
From an era with tape decks in boom boxes
My citizens entitlement for due process
Trickery society pulls obnoxious
Aren't we tired of being used as objects
I hope my contact with you could constant
Always honest been thru a lot of nonsense
wanna Shout out to the producer on this project
We were Scouted out progress is what we're about
Stories about 3 northern boys who moved down south
As we execute our dreams let us teach you how
want to live for the dream see we're learning how
You got Jersey, New York, Maine in the boondocks
CT DC we flew in on a Hawkeye
Now we gottem confused they’re looking cock eyed
Three white dudes y'all be advised
Consequently adhering to these ideals
Steadfast with purpose that's what devotion is
Mark my words before I lose consciousness
incase you are wondering folks This is what rhythm is
Keep executing this is the way to keep it moving
Ive faced many Ls a Ws what I’m pursuing
After the best have already gone (Gone) (already gone)
Left to perfect the world is born (Come on) Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Half of what's left is already lost (but not for long)
There is only one thing I want. (I want)
After the best have already gone (Gone) Whoa
Left to perfect the world is born (Come On) Yeah
Half of what's left is already lost (but not for long)
There is only one thing I want. (I want)
After the best, After the best, Whats Next?
After the best whats next? whats next?

Intro
Im Just Doing, Im Just Doing, Im Just doing what i like to do. Whoa
Im Just doing, Im just doing what I like to do.
Chorus-
Music is all I know it's gotten me thru some good times
And some hard times there's no better time
To release my mind to this hard world
and this crazy world Make it a better world
Use a few strong words from this strong man and I got a plan you can't understand
Unless you walk in these shoes I've been in
Unless you walk in these shoes I’ve been in
Unless you walk in these shoes.
Verse 1
Old school from the basement shoes laced up
never take the music that I'm made of
built chemistry built every memory
Take The beat and a mic I'll find a recipe
Good life good crew find the next move
find myself rhyming this to you
Cause I know it's not about the outcome just gotta few troubles im still trying to out run
If I learned one lesson gotta keep pressing
No time like the present
To vibe out I think they need a time out
Just so they can figure every rhyme out
Leave a rhyme at the tone type light to the phone
Feeling right when alone just the mic and the dome
Whoa guess it's time for me to leave
R versions Next on the scene best believe
Chorus-
Im just doing what i like to do, Whoa
Music is all I know it's gotten me thru some good times
And some hard times there's no better time
To release my mind to this hard world
and this crazy world Make it a better world
Use a few strong words from this strong man and I got a plan you can't understand
Unless you walk in these shoes I've been in
Unless you walk in these shoes I’ve been in
Unless you walk in these shoes.
Verse 2
It's been hard for me, souls hard to please
Thankful musics pumping thru my arteries
It's all the reason, Music reveals my problems
Couldn't conceal the silence,
you and I make an alliance
Thru defiance we’ll never stopped trying
Periodically allowing me to chime in
Like the table of elements One for stable development
Thru life I'm gambling yeah eye Stay rambling
With a Demonstrative mind am I out of line
No matter where I'm going I'll be just fine
Haha is that a crime I'll never drop dimes
in the back of mine, must manage my time
I've been on the grind since I was yay high
Just know I need this shit to get by
Won't settle till We've topped charts multiple times
could've chose to pack a 9 millimeter
Instead I chose this mic to make you a believer
Skeletons in my closet that you wouldn’t even believe it.
Man shit I’ve been hiding, why am i hiding in anymore I’m just trying to get this shit out there.
Verse 3
The way I've always seen it everybodys got their own music it only matters how you play it
Say it don't spray it there's no place for hating
This music I'm making it makes me feel alive
And can you feel the vibe When it's late at night and you got no one to hold you
Just close your eyes and let the melody take over
Like rain fall in the ocean smoke a little something
if you're feeling some emotion
At times I've been high when I'm low Felt smart when I'm dumb
gave my heart to a woman
Been blinded by the sun but listen up
Cuz everything that glitters ain't gold
And everything that shines ain't fine
So every line is my energy
I hope that you'll remember me
When I'm on stages giving my heart thru these rhymes
Never will pretend to be
Anything but what my soul brings
To the hearts and minds
Of everyone that's in this moment in time
This moment in time, this moment in time
to the hearts and minds of everyone thats in this moment in time.
This moment in time, give my heart out in this moment of time.
Im Nick EP R Version of Hip Hop, I love you guys! Peace

Things I wanna do
Verse 1
I can't have a dream and not commit
My passion not exist
This pattern needs to be fixed
Paddle water barely shifting
Stuck in this Muck still I do it for the fuck of it
Son of David - aiming for Goliath
Some Ain't even got the balls to try it
That's why you groove to my Environment
Swear I'm only trying to stop the violence
In this alliance let's break silence stop riots
Let's listen to real talk stop liars
That's why I see familiar faces
And don't remember names
Been so many places
It's never the same
Man im slaving this paper meal
Don't know how saving feels
Put rage down marking my page
My way been dealing with it
soul is going quicker
feeling the pain If I had a nickel
I'd give you my change So I'll remain praying
Knowing I will Maintain Slightly out of my frame I'll be waiting for the day
Verse 2
Misjudged the situation lost track of time
Keep this track in mind when you rewind and I'm
Back in our home town feel so alone now
Thought I'd pay you a visit but your gone now
Member the tough times like rocks in the sand
Talks in the ham few dollars in hand
Dropped money when I had it you were the baddest
Every night in the whip you were the wildest
New scene and I'm making moves payin dues
Tryin to make a livin singing the blues
Jotting notes to a screen what's it all really mean
Guess imma kid still chasing his dream
You weren't in it at least the last few
There was mad love but that was the past you
But I'm past you at least I think so
If this was my story you were in the intro
Chorus-
Hoping I was Hoping
I was thinking too much
I can't say I didn't do the things I want to do
Verse 3
In moderation I'm clearly naughty by nature
Someday I'll meet my maker in a coffin looking str8up
Had the past I've had ain't nothing I'm afraid of
Pastor knows me imma go get it never wait up
Occupationally occupied make mine
Observations only visualizing tough times
operation debating these punch lines
Confrontationally defeat them i leave them tongue-tied
How dare you doubt my grind
Enabling my mind
My bain it goes Thru waves
Until flotation has arrived
The new day messiah
Charizard spitting fire
Known for bringing it higher
Torching dabs thru the wire
Hoping I was open quit waiting on world to change me
Out of rope would you throw me some
to try and save me?
Let's go all the way up as we reaching the peak
Virgo state of mind of a certified freak
Chorus-
Hoping I was Hoping
I was thinking too much
I can't say I didn't do the things I want to do
Verse 4
Different day with a different story
No living in glory avoiding the poor me
Clocking in you throwing rocks again
No glass house then how'd those rocks get in
Mistakes was chosen keep it out in the open
Chapters been closing but I keep going
Through pause play rewind it all day
Always been choosing for me the hard way
Built some stamina from all this cardio
I can see the end zone just a few more yards to go
So I gun it run it to the top of the summit
Well past 100 and didn't see it coming
Took past for what it is and left it behind me
Use my lyrics as a guide keep to remind me
That where I've been and where I'm heading
Are two complete paths with two separate directions
Chorus-
Hoping I was Hoping
I was thinking too much
I can't say I didn't do the things I want to do

Slowly getting everybody involved

Blue Ribbon
Verse 1
Find a way please let me find a way
Anything I need for me to rhyme another day
Ripping these rhymes in between each of these lines
What I speak is defined a lyrical mind
And in due time I'll reap what I sow
To each is his own pack the beat and let's go
On a journey went to Myrtle from jersey
Pushing thirty and I know you haven't heard me
But give it a minute let the music sink in
Get to drinking I'm probably over thinking
The logic from the pro tools to the project
Consumed by the object what I'd lose if I dropped it
Top hit or flopped it do what you came to do
Let em aim at you they don't know the pain in you
So true emotions locked to the mic spit the box in the hype
Ill fight even Throw some rocks in the night
you up in your glass house looking for a hand out
wanna make an impact than you gotta stand out
I'm deep in the pot love the beat when it knock
Don't need keys to lock wit the team that I rock
R versions one away seeing another day
This could be the one you need to give another play
Either way I'll get to going took up the beat without knowing
Chorus-
Take me away out of this funny place
My minds been clouded anyway
Searching for a sunny day
and oh let me run away
Lord I'll be coming home
Take me away out of this funny place
My minds been clouded anyway
Searching for a sunny day
and oh let me run away
Lord I'll be coming home
Verse 2
Refuse to lose hope
Confused and who knows
Induce a new flow
pursue and roll on
Ive come to the consensus
The One who's misdirected
Currencies electric
The reason were connected
I've come to find a new way
Done I need a new place
Dawned upon crusades
Tarnished in this fools game
Can't have Loss of yardage;
My wages being garnished
Spirit incarnate straight from the alarmist
great being modest crazy psychotic
(Quickly) change topics derange your optics
Seeking profit search to feed my pockets
Got tired of starving and eating garbage
The worlds revolving the stars are falling
Time to play offense try to stay cautious
Debate often take wins over losses
Chorus-
Take me away out of this funny place
My minds been clouded anyway
Searching for a sunny day
and oh let me run away
Lord I'll be coming home
Take me away out of this funny place
My minds been clouded anyway
Searching for a sunny day
and oh let me run away
Lord I'll be coming home
Verse 3
Takes a strong man saying hes got this
Respected for his sayings general synopsis
Growing up all dealt with all nonsense
Bout time they started paying me for all this content
Offer rhymes so you can feel my pain
Angels and lord they better save my place
Chose to travel on a different road
and lord I'll be coming home yea let me run the tone
I'll be so alone and drinking til this liquors gone
Find me smoking potent in my home
I'm not far from broke
Feel as I'm collapsible and I could implode
Wish I could relax maybe get comfortable
But no no low on gas
Pay the toll tossing pebbles at the over pass
Grandpa told me only dumb questions are the ones not asked
So I sit back properly calculate my plan of attack
Grind up the weed light up a jay temporarily detached
From the world and its bullshit I'm done there you have it
Im New York Nick and when I spit it's out of habit
If ou can do better here's a pad and pen go at it!
Magic when I make it happen
missing link far from average
Plan to bank the cabbage
And I roll with no baggage
And if I got one more line with this rap
its Whatever you do with your life
make it matter and that's that
Chorus-
Take me away out of this funny place
My minds been clouded anyway
Searching for a sunny day
and oh let me run away
Lord I'll be coming home
Take me away out of this funny place
My minds been clouded anyway
Searching for a sunny day
and oh let me run away
Lord I'll be coming home

Something Real
Chorus-
The way you make, way you make
you make me feel, make me feel
feels like something real
feels like something real
Verse 1
Like a middle school crush got me feeling a rush
And that moment when our lips first touched
It was enough
ignite the spark Love off the charts
Pumping enough blood flow to the heart hit the mark
Perfect symphony I know you started as a friend to me
Inspired lyrics into me pens ink to me
Cross the t's dot the i's never told lies
And that look after a few drinks in your eyes
Never did I I mean never did I
Think that I could find a girl like you and I
Gotta express the way you clean up my mess
I'm impressed wit all the rest baby you the best
Doors open wit you only one of the few
No judgement from you keep it one hundred wit you
So I leave it up to you right place right time
Right mind to go into it just you and I and I and I
Just you and I and I and I, and I. Just you and I
Chorus-
The way you make, way you make
you make me feel, make me feel
feels like something real
feels like something real
Leaving you in dismay
cuz this may sound a bit ridiculous
Riding around bumping R sounds in they're vehiculars
Guaranteed to please
Come and levitate with me
Want to accelerate interpenetrate
Make me feel vivacious go wherever fate takes us
Resonate most definite
I'm a heavyweight you're just a feather lay your head on your pillow and you dream of being pillar like me
We ain't cut from the same cloth
We wake up and another days lost
Pursuit of happyness there comes at a cost
You can't emulate, imitate equiponderate
Understand, Not Obsolete like a primeate
My Rhyme types archaic coming straight from the Hoss, it ain't a good breakfast without the hog.
I won't ever be happy til I'm seeing past the smog
finally get connected thru these dialogues
Chorus-
The way you make, way you make
you make me feel, make me feel
feels like something real
feels like something real
The way you make, way you make
you make me feel, make me feel
feels like something real
feels like something real

Dark Road
Dark Road, Wooooo
Verse 1
(trying to throw a little bit more feeling into this)
Mixed in confusion knowing what to do and
Given all odds not knowing what Im losing
Keep Cruising or think of switching lanes
Been down this exit and I'm looking for a big change
Been afraid not willing to take the big risk
Pouring out my soul to end up on your playlist
Don't say it I can see where this about lead
Chasing a dream since the age of fifteen
Still kicking rocks in the road slipping through the cracks
Over a decade in the booth so got a few raps
Ratta tat to where the stage at I'm bout to fade black
Like who is this dude coming from the way back
Pesci flow bout to blow ready set go
Feelings I could never let go rest so
Move on too long have you been doing you wrong
Move on I think they need a new song
Chorus-
Dark road cuz this ain't comedy like row
They say it's just part of this life tho
I'd like to get Back in the right mode
This dark road I'm on
There are some ppl you just can't please
Pessimistic tendencies to say the least
societies breeds over time we'll see
only time will tell they've lacked decency
Had to teach myself when I didn't have nobody else
What matters in the streets it's every man for himself
way to earn your rep is that you give the same respect,
if you ain't up for the test just give the game a rest man
Hey every day I count my blessings
Hope you're up for the task this life is filled with lessons
obvious necessity we ponder up these melodies
conjuring up reality, won't find me rapping fallacies
You may not fully agree with my sarcastic analogies
Therefore we turned regret into Anomalies
Homie I work til sweat won't settle at poverty
obligated in trauma's basement
I know you've waited
Chorus-
Dark road cuz this ain't comedy like row
They say it's just part of this life tho
I'd like to get Back in the right mode
This dark road I'm on
Dark road cuz this ain't comedy like row
They say it's just part of this life tho
I'd like to get Back in the right mode
This dark road I'm on
Verse 3
Had to use expression thoughts of being depressed
Had to redevelop a psychological mess, I was
I was In the Streets alone dealing wit fuzz
Industries given a platforms to build a buzz
First and foremost would like to raise a toast
Would like to thank my group as were excelling in growth
I was always on my toes have a past full of dark roads
It's about to unfold a new chapter here we go
Ayyy
Trash man and Pesci best be ready next episode
And you're gonna know me by name
Nickolas Joseph Porrello given at birth
and at First let me tell you hello incase you havent heard
As Were emerging new lyrical surgeons
Serving turbulence thru these air waves
Climbing up this never ending staircase
Stay Thinking Is it ever gonna go my way
I’m at the foot of my bed and I pray
Chorus-
Dark road cuz this ain't comedy like row
They say it's just part of this life tho
I'd like to get Back in the right mode
This dark road I'm on
Dark road cuz this ain't comedy like row
They say it's just part of this life tho
I'd like to get Back in the right mode
This dark road I'm on

First Name Basis
Verse 1
What if we were on a first name basis
Swear I'm Persuadingly gracious
Alert the papers R names in circulation
I won't ever feel complacent on the challenges ahead
Where I would never settle rather happy til I'm dead
did you comprehend what I said my friend
I'm at my wits end love to light up my prescription
Quick to fly prolonged Ascension
Won't lie will be a long descent
I'm always intense, with a sixth sence
Spit like past tense making mad sense
With a passion rather end violence
Add to my defense had to break silence
Subtract distraction breathe before I react
Never relax hardly ever get to kick feet back
It's a fact
Go direct to the past where we could've met
As I reflect on catastrophes let's connect
Chorus-
I aim to reach you
Teach you then I will lead you
I'll be the only one believing in you
(Repeated 4 Times)
Thanks for believing in me
thanks for believing in me
Thanks for believing in me
thanks for believing in me
Cuz i beliveved in you
cuz i believed in you
and you're believing in me
and you’re believing in me
thanks for believing in me
thanks for believing in me
like i believed in you
like i believed in you
thanks for believing in me
thanks for believing in me
wouldn’t be anywhere without you.
Verse 2
First name basis can say we met before
Play record back and forth on your mothers porch
feeds into your veins hearts where it leaves a stain
known by something other than my first name
Different mentality anatomy weighing out the gravity
Seeing my mortality another casualty
Skip the profanity grammatically outta my capacity
I'm rapidly evolving more organically
Naturally judge the book by its cover without knowing one another till you soon discover
We all bleed the same and feel the same pain in the rain
Both overcame the shame and the blame
For past mistakes embrace the disgrace
Even Follow my lead down the basement staircase
New adventure new cloth new texture
new treasure like a diamond made under the pressure
Chorus-
I aim to reach you
Teach you then I will lead you
I'll be the only one believing in you
(Repeated 4 Times)
Thanks for believing in me
thanks for believing in me
Thanks for believing in me
thanks for believing in me
Cuz i beliveved in you
cuz i believed in you
and you're believing in me
and you’re believing in me
thanks for believing in me
thanks for believing in me
like i believed in you
like i believed in you
thanks for believing in me
thanks for believing in me
wouldn’t be anywhere without you.
Verse 3
I think you should let me cover the bases
You could Take this as my mission statement
See this music isn't complicating
Usually leaves me tossing and debating
theres more the reason to stay creative
Get lost in what I'm making be more innovative,
There's nothing to be afraid of,
Strictly giving what stimulative through pen and paper
Your asking for a favor so I'm giving you verbal labor
And yet it'll still be understatement
At what I'm capable of, trust
I have oracles in ways I will not complain
Fact remains that I was not intended to be plain
Aim to teach you what I believe in,
Not just what I'm seeing, my visions are grieving
Don't ever run, got a problem be a man and confront it, This ain't for pussies and heathens
This got me panting and heavily breathing
hand me the henny I need it
Need to feel peace
dear Mic give me the peace
Help me out the streets, let my mind free
