Closer To You

And this may be above me
But there isn’t anything above you

I won’t change for nobody it’s evident
I can only be me, I’m too excellent
And I’m to wild to be elegant
I’m angry if you take me out my zone, that’s my element
heart big like an elephant
but if you take me down I just respawn to development
I’m done with the embarrassment
I am not your experiment
I’m too intelligent to be a scary kid
But I can be broken
I can be in pain
And even when I’m not open
I always go insane
whether you see it or you don’t
just know I’m tryna restrain
cause even when I’m screaming no
they tryna mess with my brain
My dreams get crazy
Everybody always told me I can’t
They must be lazy
sometimes words just made me wanna recant
“My God Rocks”
I’m hiding my frown behind a chant
Cause maybe if I smile wide or hold somebody’s hand
Then I’ll be happy as the man I am
Hopefully it’s fine and dandy like it’s sposed’ to be
And my feelings going wild nobody knows it’s me
Why can’t nobody notice me?
Because to spill it out is frowned upon
Better off hopeless cause the world is soulless
This is atrocious I can’t stay focused
Life moving slowest, maybe that’s a bonus
I gotta split these waters but I’m not no Moses
The optimism I had is becoming bogus
Put a smile on my face, act like it’s all roses
Until you pull the camera down, it’s no longer poses
Even though I’m winning, always feel like a loser
But do I gotta adjust? maybe this is my future
Tryna find God’s plan, I wish I knew sooner
Whatever it is, Man I just pray that it’s super
Cause when you’re going up it’s always that one shooter
Yeah

And this may be above me
But there isn’t anything above you

I just wanna be free of me
So I can get to be closer to you

I don’t know where you’re sending me
But I pray that this isn’t my ending please

God I love you for everything you do
God I pray, God I pray I can get closer to you

I wanna live for you all my life
I’m gonna serve you long as I’m alive

And there is nothing that I wouldn’t do
To follow my love and get closer to you

And this may be above me
But there isn’t anything above you

I just wanna be free of me
So I can get to be closer to you

 

Reach Higher / Immortals

 

 

 

We can reach higher
We can reach higher
We can reach higher
We can reach higher

If we can reach higher that’s what I’m gone do
I don’t care about opinions that I’m drawn to
Working hard, all on cause the dawn’s due
Since a youngin, De’Shaun been doubted, that’s gone too
I’m in tune, get it? this song too
The pressure and manipulation won’t be too strong oouu
And when it’s finally the time to make it, swish on through
Cause if the shots there and I don’t take it I missed on two
I’m tired of losing to mind games, cause my blame
Is forcing my shame, remaining locked up in my frame
Just take me out, I ain’t talking bout a gun to my brain
I’m tryna find a way to live, They got me running insane
I can’t explain how I grew into the son I became
How I remained innocent while I was gunning for pain
And sometimes I fear if I try harder it’s more of the same
I’m in the eye of the hurricane but I’m scared of the rain

We can reach higher
We can reach higher
We can reach higher
We can reach higher

We can reach higher, that’s mine too
I ain’t talking just heart, that’s mind too
Let go of all of the hate and blind views
Let go of all of the pain and lies too
Let go of all of the issues, you rise too
you wise too, we all got lows but highs too
dry your eyes from the hurt you cried through
At the end of the day, you’ll fly too
For every wrong you say goodbye to
For every situation you were ‘sposed to die to
I know that God is just making a lion out of you
A warrior, a Titan, bring that fire out of you
And he’s not quitting he wants you higher, it’s up to push harder, work smarter, bring that fighter out of you
You got a vision so take your view and just make it true
Let’s take impossible and find a way to make it new

We can reach higher
We can reach higher
We can reach higher
We can reach higher


Just know that you’re never alone
(Never alone)
Just know that you’re never alone
God’s here forever, no matter what, it gets better
I’m saying reach for your dreams, that means give up, never
Don’t sell short, don’t let the enemy buy you
(Don’t let him buy you)
But be true, don’t let the kingdom deny you
And be you, your past don’t define you
This a turnaround, put that behind you

We can reach higher
We can reach higher
We can reach higher
We can reach higher


Every time I’m down I think it’s over
Gotta fight back but I’m not a soldier
As I grow and I get older
Life moves faster, it gotta move slower
Too much to just brush off my shoulder
I can’t take it, I need closure
I need peace, I don’t need exposure
so talking bout it will just make me colder When am I gon’ find me a new life
Why do I fight just to survive
When will I finally arrive
In my destiny, I want the best of me, I wanna thrive
I know greatness is where I strive
But I’m not great when I let my pain drive
I wanna kill all thoughts of anger
But what’s the point if immortals just revive

Can I reach higher?

 

Dangerous Dream

 

 

 

 

I give you every part of me

You are my world, my dream

I just wanna let go but I don’t know

If I wanna go slow cause I want you

You like to tell me I glow but I won’t show

But if I go faster how will I grow

You make me feel these feelings

I’ve never felt before

You got me contemplating

You’re mine and I am yours

I’m diamonds in the making

Pressure stacks up on me

But when I’m with you it seems

Like life has been complete

I don’t want to hurt you

But I know that

If you’re not for me I need to fall back

I give you energy, I give you all that

But when I’m with you am I really on the right track?

Are you the best or do you only have what I lack?

But if I’m growing do I really need to like that?

You come around but do I really need to buy that?

Cause when you hurt me over and over it’s my bad

(More sad)

I give you every part of me

You are my world, my dream

What would you do if I told you it was over ?

Because you seem to have forgot about what we were

You make me believe that we’re good and then you throw a

Knife in my back, when I saw you all on her

Like it was easy, you see her and then you see me

You meet her before you come to me, but you don’t want to leave me

We argue and then you drop her, you comfort and then you promise

You’ll never do it again but I’m a fool to think you’re honest

I yell and you call me crazy

You play dumb, act shady

You try to prove me wrong, but the proof is there plainly

You got away for a while cause it’s a new chick

But masking your wrongs just makes you look stupid

You make the same mistakes again but tell me that I am loved

But are mistakes mistakes if you just can’t get enough

And all your crazy faking leads me to believe that

You don’t care, and I really don’t need that

You did me wrong too many times, I hope you see that

Cause I don’t wanna hear you talking about what we had

now you can go mess around, you should be glad

Because you hurt me over and over it’s your bad

I give you every part of me

You are my world, my dream

 

 

Legendary

Born into legends, father was legendary
To me this music is a story of the way I bury
My thoughts deep, then throw em down when I can’t carry
Every moment I get I spit on this thing, airing
out the weight of the world that hangs clearly
In the beginning I tried to grow weary
Because belief in myself just wasn’t there then
Maybe I was too worried about my fears when
From left and right I was hearing things that weren’t true
I couldn’t make it, I’m gonna break, just strike through
Any goal that I had or dreams wanted
It felt like I was a lion that got hunted
Because I always knew that something was inside me
And then with music, it was always right beside me
Cause every weekend I would admire my hero
As he did what I thought amounted to zero
If it was coming out of me there’s no point
Little did I know I was the one that God would appoint
When I would write a song, I would hide it from the world
Cause for 16 years I was hiding from myself


Born into legends, sister was legendary
She taught me life ain’t always what they think is necessary
When I was younger she was older, we weren’t ordinary
Mom was never home, both of us were stationary
Without her I was lost, ain’t have no space to carry
My well being inside me and my brain was very
Taken aback by how hard life was
I never got it, we all need one to fight for us
And she was mine even when she couldn’t be there
She had my back, even when I ain’t want her to care
We had each other, but relationships to me was rare
it’s a love so strong nothing can compare
And in school I was down I was ready to quit
When I was fighting everyday she cheered up the kid
But when she left, I just really wasn’t ready to split
now I walk this world alone, but the shoe don’t fit

Born into legends, mother was legendary
I wouldn’t know what I would do with all the weight you carry
And I thank you for every bit of the love you’re sharing
Because you gave me my compassion and for that I’m very
Grateful, proud to be yours
I remember sitting in my room with closed doors
While I would cry you would knock until I open up
And when I did you talked until all my pain was broken up
They picked on my brain, my religion, and culture
And you helped me through it, no matter how vulgar
Gave me a hug when you felt that I needed
To feel loved even when I begged pleaded
You not to, but you knew you got to
Know it’s true, I love you, none can do it like you
Mom without you I don’t know what I’d do

I just wanna say thank you cause I love y’all

 

Strong Child

 

 

 

 

[Verse 1]
Look, I’m there for you
Even though my life ain’t perfect, know I care for you
This ain’t fair for you,
I’m sorry that you gotta go through this
Let’s open this, just know my God is here for you don’t call it quits
Never gonna get over this
I’m supposed to be your friend, and they hurt you
I’m over pissed, they ridiculous
I wanna throw a fist, wish they never existed
wish they wasn’t so twisted, wish I could’ve assisted
wish I could’ve admitted, wish they could get convicted
Now your soul’s shifted, I’m sorry that they got you like this, you’re so gifted
They took advantage cause they heart was so frigid
I can’t help but to think that the memory was so vivid for you
And who woulda thought the strongest was the one to be the victim
I didn’t cause you the strongest one, I knew it must be fiction
The worst at school but the one with the most wisdom
Can’t believe it was you, That took me out my rhythm

[CHORUS]
I pray that you
Fight through
Whatever it is that you’re going through
You’re going through
I know that you
Are strong
But that don’t mean that you can’t worry too
Can’t worry too

[Verse 2]
Yeah, and at first it was
What’s his name, what’s his address
who he hang with, I want the access
I wanna make him regret this,
I wanna shake it but bet
It’s overtaken my head
I care too much to be sad
Never wanna control life, just wanted him dead
But I gotta lay my head down instead because I know what you said
And I know why you said it and I don’t wanna make you go through what you would go through,

I get it it’s so true
I never knew our life would have to be so hard
but it’s on you to do what you think will make you so new
I’m doing this for you
I got love for you
I pray for you because I know that times have got rough for you
It gets tough but you
Still wear a smile, I promise to keep my promise to you for a long while
I love you, I’m there for the whole mile
Do me a favor, let no one mess up your style, you so wild
You a strong child

[CHORUS]
I pray that you
Fight through
Whatever it is that you are going through
You’re going through
I know that you
Are strong
But that don’t mean that you can’t worry too
Can’t worry too

[Outro]
You a strong child
you a strong child
You a strong child
You a strong child
Listen
Fight for me
You a strong child
Be the light for me
You a strong child
Love your life for me
You a strong child
Go be bright for me
You a strong child

[CHORUS]
I pray that you
Fight through
Whatever it is that you are going through

You’re going through

I know that you (You a strong child)
Are strong (You a strong child)
But that don’t mean that you can’t worry too (You a strong child)
You can worry too (You a strong child)

I pray that you
Fight through
Whatever it is that you are going through

You’re going through

I know that you

Are strong

But that don’t mean that you can’t worry too

Khali Moon Verse 1

Start like Montana, we 300, Spartans coming better get to running
We ain’t stopping we ain’t never fronting, I be killing tracks like I’m Lil Chucky
We be flowing over cause we on a rise, and we can’t compare to them other guys
I be flying high out above the sky, I don’t need drugs, it ain’t time to die

I don’t be counting and stacking it, when I be rapping, the money comes after me
Sipping no lean, so fresh And so clean don’t need Mary Jane, she didn’t need me
Riding on 30s and 40s and 50s, need to come get me, so I don’t get filthy
Rags to riches, it’s the business, everybody is a witness

Holding down the fort, every single night, I be building up for this kinda fight, I brought a gun while you bring a knife, you can get me twice, before you lose your life
I am not that guy, I don’t got the time, looking at my wrist, it is looking dry, put me on trial, i don’t gotta try, i be moving first, please don’t ask me why

Day in Day out, taking food out ya mouth, dancing on top the couch, you can tell what I’m about, it is not for the clout, I don’t care bout the count
I be fresh up on the wave, I am here and I will stay, you can find another way, listen to the 808

1, 2 Freddy is ready are you, be in your dreams, you cannot scream, bringing the team, like it’s the 13th
Reading the script so I know the theme, bringing the light, so we can all beam
Benjamin fogging my vision with green, like Stevie Wonder man I cannot see

6 foot with an attitude, I be mad I be badder too
Standing tall when I’m in the room, watch your step when I’m coming through
I am not playing when it’s time to grind, I just be letting God getting all the shine, he coming first so I get in line, we are coming strong, I don’t need a spot

DeShaun Verse 2:
I don’t got time for no interlude
Listen the goat has been introduced
Tryna just keep up the bars, but they always begging for interviews
Only hearing me on features
So you only watching the previews
You know that we rocking the scene oouu
It’s Dede and moon, we see through
Every problem and fake
Theres never a problem that breaks
If any rapper wanna step, We partying at your wake
So you better pump the brakes
You know that you made a mistake
But it’s mistakes that make you
They break you, take you, and shake you, all until you’re wide awake, call it a mindquake
We a lil different we rap our passion but we keepin it lit
Never a moment we on the mic and we not making no hits
I don’t live up to no stereotypes, not a typical dude
21 selling out MGM, you know that’s the move
You know Dede coming through
I’m ready give you the proof
I know the sky’s the limit
No I do not got a roof
When I step into the booth
I bring up everyone else
Cause my success is approved
I said that y’all gotta move
You better understand me
Don’t hand me no fake and call it candy
moving like we on the beach, we slow and it’s sandy
But we pushing and the results gon make the sprint real handy
And in the end, we gon be standing on the podium
y’all gonna hand me a medal a gold, platinum, diamond while fans sing:

Every song that I ever release
They gonna tell the haters they don’t want no beef
They don’t know what I got up my sleeve
But my bars ain’t wrapped no Christmas Eve
My tongue stay strapped, hands up, just leave
When I throw shots, don’t bob don’t weave
We gonna make it, just gotta believe
De’Shaun and Khali ready to bring relief

I know I step out of line
You gotta give me the time
I’m a monster when I rhyme
I got a ladder to climb
can’t wait to get to my prime
I know I’m ready to shine
Shine without doing no crime
I can feel it in my spine
Labels are coming to sign
I promise I’m getting mine
But I don’t do it for dimes

Khali Verse:
Marching the streets, like Dr. King, anybody wanna come they can ride with me
The brown skin bully I am grimey, but I bully all the enemies behind me
Coming up right for the timing, got the Son on my side we is shining
Right to the throne is the place you can find him, counting to 10 but he’s still gonna find you

DeShaun Verse:

I crack these tracks, it’s not new new
And I ain’t worried bout what you do
Tryna stay on top, get my mind right, until I’m signed I’m sick, Deshaun got a flu flu
Rookies wanna challenge me until they spit they know, find out what I do too
If I came around what would you do?
Take that L and that’s true true

Khali Verse 3:
Tying up my shoes and I’m running with the ball, don’t try to trip me I ain’t gonna fall, open up my casket, out imma crawl, don’t put me in jail imma end up like Paul
Serving the master, the end of my days, and he won’t switch up, he has always stayed the same
Jumping over sticks but the bar I will raise, no small Talk here I ain’t playing no games
