2.	Revved Up 02:06	lyrics	buy track
I've been grinding illustrating; 16 ain't enough Peeling back the dark layers of my soul, heart on my cuff. Left on read, been an afterthought, not an option. In constant confrontation with want I want and what's popping. My solace.....feeding you a cathedral to help you elevate. No time to be deceitful: can't let the levees break. Optimistic, but doubt I'm reaching the pearly gates. Know that god got me: He see me evolving every day! Bite my style if you can handle the rabies. I know love reigns supreme, but I'm single, and not a hypebeast. Stacking chips like pringle"s and mingling with a dimepiece. In this to make change: watch out for it like a timepiece. Let go of the doubt so all our limits are deceased. Practice what you preach, Magnus. "I'm on it baby. As we speak." Sharing wisdom: this whole time, I just been talking to me. Revved up, ain't no letting up; the mountains we can peak. Hundred miles and running Evolving every damn day and like who I'm becoming. No avoiding the pain, eating that till we got full stomachs. Turn the engine, get ready to gun it. We Revved Up! Revved up. On go, ain't no time to slow up Baby we revved up, revved up! Hot dog, tell them boys catch up. Baby We Revved up, revved up. On go, ain't no time to slow up. Baby we revved up! Revved up! Making sure the whole globe love us Baby we revved up! Truly

Shining through the dark, I called that my GLISTEN And if you been rocking with me I hope you see the VISION Yea I had a pot to piss in, can't knock the privilege. Reminiscing on penning writtens in mama's KITCHEN. Shawty got her eyes locked on me. Yea I peeped that. She can feel that. Know she see my GLISTEN. And I love your feedback, need that, but for now, just sit back and LISTEN. Back to get it cracking like Chiropractics. Mastered the arts and crafts, with no recess. In need of love not a heatcheck. Progress I elevate steadily, feel like my vision been getting ahead of me but, I improved that Navigation. Nameless in the nation, but change is coming like I just paid. Been grinding for my dynasty. i can't be a rockstar: More alive inside my honesty. They loving my new jams. Heard yours and starting grinding teeth. Freedom when I hit the stage: Shut shit down then I get to breathe like----- No reprieve. Didn't call on it, it came to me. Stepping forward like the prime suspect: Guess I'll be the one the people need. Catching flight like a bald eagle. only one shot at this, we don't get a sequel. Write a million lines off my faults, so the mistakes make the earth quake. Shake and bake for this dream, stacking cream, the icing on the cake? Finding a wifey, make some prodigies, countryside chilling like a bonafide villain. Mike Jack thrillin, rocking out with millions While shining my light through the dark: we call that GLISTEN. And if you been rocking with me I hope you see the VISION Yea i had a pot to piss in can't knock the privilege. Reminiscing on penning writtens in mama's KITCHEN. Shawty got her eyes locked on me. Yea I peeped that. She can feel that. Know she see my GLISTEN. And I love your feedback, need that, but for now, just sit back and LISTEN. Peeling off the plastic, feel the magic. Arte Magnus back with another classic. They gravitate to me like a magnet. Not showing love? Boy, that's pretty tragic. Converting all my thoughts to 3D. Finally it's must see TV! Broadcast for your inspiration. Pray your passion never near to expiration. See it clearer no astigmatism. Broaden vision, can't be near sighted. God told me if you really want it, gotta kill your demons, boy. You gotta fight em. Make room like renovation for your soul to develop. Can't get too enveloped on the search for power, or you'll miss all the setups. On my P's and Q's here's a tip. Live it up like limits don't exist. Shoot every shot, regardless of bricks. Avoid getting crossed up, no crucifix. Old me, no, he won't be missed. No quitting: been an optimist. Gotta make sure the mission gets finished. Reup on Arte: I'mma leave you replenished. Tongue on katana, I slice any tension. Passion on fire for global attention. This ain't for 3 retweets and a mention. Going hard for all we weren't given. Going hard for all we weren't given. GOING HARD FOR ALL WE WEREN'T GIVEN. Shining like a solar flare. Leave a hater blind. ALL MY PEOPLE GOT THE GLISTEN. And if you been rocking with me I hope you see the VISION Yea I had a pot to piss in, can't knock the privilege. Reminiscing on penning writtens in mama's KITCHEN. Shawty got her eyes locked on me. Yea I peeped that. She can feel that. Know she see my GLISTEN. And I love your feedback, need that, but for now, just sit back and LISTEN. Truly

Riding till the engine pop, We never stop. Born outside the frying pan, We’re deep in the fire. I don’t see a reason we could ever break. Short of Heaven’s Gates, Dying the only way we retire! (Navigate thru the traffic, moving no matter what happens) Made it all from nothing, they treat it like magic. (Living up to my name. Rather burn out that fade away) Unstoppable how we move through the traffic! Traffic Through the Traffic Join us or get left in the traffic! Through the Traffic Through the Traffic Better break free or become part of the traffic Traffic Through the traffic Join us or get left in the traffic! Through the traffic, through the traffic! Better break free or become part of the... The dopest cat, bars are sharp with saber teeth. Biting mine'll give you salmonella while i keep propelling. Shit might be too raw for you. Won't got to war with fake lieutenants. Welcome to my House of Pain: I'm always looking for new tenants. Jump Around at the chance to make it official with wifey. Been together since 14 and she so loyal to me. Saved me when I lost my mind, taught me never to recline until my foot up on they neck and we moving in lightspeed. Meditate to elevate, never knew a better way to find my freedom. Repeat it to see and believe it: We packing out coliseums! Potential to be limitless: I just gotta shake these demons, break these habits, Manifest a dream while I bob and weave through this traffic LET'S GO Riding till the engine pop, We never stop. Born outside the frying pan, We’re deep in the fire. I don’t see a reason we could ever break. Short of Heaven’s Gates, Dying the only way we retire!

5.	Sacrifice 03:08	lyrics	buy track
A load of questions got me up at night: Like how much do I have to sacrifice? My sanity, pennies, a shot at a normal life? Fuck that, I've never been normal, right? Go cold and sell my soul for all the ice? For more possessions than a poltergeist? And tell every girl that I love her so I don't have to go to sleep alone every night? On top of that, I've been out here sparing feelings my whole life because I'm too fucking nice. Everyone's shoulder to cry and lean on, knowing I'm the one that needs advice. How do i regain the patience I never had till the throne is in my hand? How do I tell myself that it's all worth it if it don't result in some bands? Not enamored by the clout chase. There's enough cheese in the rat race. Standing right by the ideal: If i spit the real I'll be something they can't replace. Going bananas to build up appeal. Fuck how you feel, got no time to waste. To make an empire before I expire, man, it's all about the pace. Owe it to my mama not to flake. Owe it to myself to see it through. Owe it to my father to go farther. Show him it was always possible. Full potential gotta be the focus. They matador; I'm not about the bull. Ever closer to a magnum opus: A Symphony of The Unstoppable! Sacrifice In it to live it up, not survive. Giving up only way we can die. Ain't clipping no wings, we're born to fly (Yea) Sacrifice, ain't swerving no pain if you down to ride. Feeding off of your love, (I'm) energized. Ain't perfect but worth every second live (Yea)[x2] I been down & out, underestimated more than I can count. Hated on myself, drowning in my doubt. Didn't pray for greatness, had to make a route (Yea). To this day, i can't follow script. Every 24 gift. Pray my words uplift you in your pursuit of happiness. No matter where you are enjoy the path. It could all be over in a flash. Don't pick and choose when to be real or we'll catch you capping like the NBA draft. Mastered the backslide, next switch gotta be electric. Take the game by landslide, my true colors, no set trip. Knife in hand, born to make a killing. Wouldn't remix this life for a billion. Pure insight you're only given when the pain outweighs your good decisions. Back on road, needed gear shifting. Bout my paper like I work at Dunder Mifflin. Still got faith in seeing freedom, even if I'm losing my religion. Got angels watching me from all angles, so no Mutumbo's can block my vision. Don't care about diamonds in the pendant. Only gold I want is for my records hitting. Rather live outstanding than die forgotten. Long as my fans are never sitting. Racing my demons to break even: I predict a photo finish! Sacrifice In it to live it up, not survive. Giving up only way we can die. Ain't clipping no wings, we're born to fly (Yea) Sacrifice, ain't swerving no pain if you down to ride. Feeding off of your love, (I'm) energized.[x2] Ain't perfect but worth every second live (Yea) Truly
6.	Sweet Dreamz 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Slipping away from gave me new life. A beacon, believing there's more than just breathing to pay debt for life. Always so close to getting it right. Precise like a surgeon: Get better with every new cut. Like a fever, the kid heating up. I ain't go time for no more silver linings till my crew magnetic: The whole world connected to us! Young king, my reign/rain coming soon like: "Huhghh, I'm about to Bust!" Crew shorter than a centipede: My starting lineups only ones I trust. Perfect the stroke so I can fuck the world. Still can't decide if it's love or lust. Shine through the dark like high beams. Of these sweet dreamz I can't get enough. There's No reason not to believe: Everything you want is within reach. All up to what you perceive. Fruits of your labor keep sowing them seeds. There's No reason not to believe: Everything you want is within reach. All up to what you perceive. Fruits of your labor keep sowing them seeds. Used to think I had to go west for salvation, But happiness is a feeling, not a location. Grinding through any pain it's about our patience, Knowing no matter what, the top is our destination. Voice memos and computer speakers. Even back then, I knew there was heaven and that we could reach it. Thinking back on old lyrics life feel like treason, Knowing I ain't practice everything I had mastered preaching. Your greatest efforts hardly halfway decent. Hear you bragging: really, what's beneath it? Limitless. Banana: so appealing. Russian doll: the layers keep revealing a better me. Ahead of who I use to be. Still far away from what I need to be truthfully.
7.	Lost 02:46	lyrics	buy track
What I wouldn't give for a google map to my happiness while I reminisce on my basement. Found that purpose, put that work in. You gone see greatness. Now I pressure myself to go pro and produce some payment. Toe to toe with my hesitations; demons praying I don't make it! Refuse to lose, let it all go to waste like a junkyard. Life's a bitch and it bite hard. I'mma bark at the moon like it owe me a bone. Submission to shit I will never condone. If you cross my face, better break my nose. Pass out before I ever tap out. Blow her back out if she ever doubt my crown. I get down, no Jaden Smith. Bout a second away from locking my twists. Ain't mastered this, but I get the gist: Feed you my truth, No regard for consequence. En garde with the sharpest pen. Go to war with the gods like I'm Kratos. Better lay low if you never want to live limitless with a bliss that ain't based in ignorance. Mind in a whirlwind: will the world ever spin to my rhythm? Will I make the most of breath I was given? Will the effort elevate my to Olympus?! Guess... We'll find out on the next episode of DBZ. Hope you fair well, no EBT. Where this is headed? TBD. Man honestly, I'm LOST. Know we gone make it at any cost For all the angels we already lost. For all the coin that was ever tossed, even out the odds while we're LOST. Find a way, believe in the path, don't ever stray. Not defined by yesterday, redesigned this light so we shine all day can't be Lost [x2] 14 year old me would've been offbeat with this melody. No shame on him but his bars were thin, and he was depressed so heavily. Lost in the world, not a boss with the girls and he 2stepped so damn awkwardly Redefined his focus, reignited soul, and saw the goal was happiness, by any means. What's a dream if you never put in effort just to make it breathe? Dedication, nothing up my sleeve/Save the trick and illusion for David Blaine. Frieza how the kid be killing saiyans/On the rise with my bros like I'm Damon Wayans/Found my calling like Verizon, see a new horizon if we break our limitations. "Magnus please, don't forget me when you're famous!" Coming from the same muthafuckas who ain't heard my latest album or support me on a daily basis/ Not begging for love: Wanted this before I could flow, like a broken fire hydrant. One life to live, no time for hiding/Choose who you wanna be: I'm the Iron Giant! Shatter the stereotype and produce it organic till they demand you off the hype. Pushing through all of the lows and the highs. If you want it, get it for the rest of your life. If craziness is Heaven, then I might've been closer to God in my sleepless nights. If freedom is a crime, I'll be dead to rights, fighting for me and mine so we no longer LOST. Know we gone make it at any cost. For all the angels we already lost. For all the coin that was ever tossed, even out the odds while we're LOST. Find a way, believe in the path, don't ever stray. Not defined by yesterday/ Redesigned this light so we shine all day Can't be lost Know we gone make it at any cost For all the angels we already lost For all the coin that was ever tossed, even out the odds while we're LOST. Find a way, believe in the path, don't ever stray. Not defined by yesterday Redesigned this light so we shine all day.
8.	Regardless 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Regardless (Hook) Know a shot like this don’t come around often. Hear my name ring out: it must be my calling. If you really want it, gotta go all in. But I know that we gone get it regardless! I go the hardest, babe. Bullseye on my target babe. Cause I gotta make sure we get it regardless. If I don’t paint my pain, what makes me an artist, babe?? I gotta make sure we get it regardless! (Verse 1) Stay on the page like a beeper. Homie told me “Boy, the people are sleeping on you.” Well they gone wake up to some shit that they can’t believe, even if Ripley called it. Not born to ball but I live like a spalding: always bouncing, get my shots up. Stacking more bread than a potluck. Baby, momentum is priceless. Can’t afford to be stuck. No Shenron, gotta make it happen. Only wish a brotha would, then the rest is action. In it for the fame, boy, I doubt your passion. Punching my ticket for a bag everlasting. Jump a roadblock: got no time for limitations. Used to let opinions have me stuck in hesitation. Do it for my people, give a fuck about who sipping on some haterade. Save my energy for Navigation. (Bridge) Know a shot like this don’t come around often. Hear my name ring it out: it must be my calling. It’s time to rise, we’re not here for falling. Know I gotta make sure we make it regardless! (Verse 2) Breaking through to see new potential. Do it for the have nots, keep it sacramental. Parked in my lane: I don’t need your validation. Never swerved the pain: it taught me patience. On a long flight for the goal, no red-eye. Flow an ocean to remain so shapeless. Shout out to y’all who painted me as lame. Rorschach how I maneuver the change. Originality the cornerstone of freedom. You gon elevate for chains; I’d rather be off the leash. Drive untouchable: never be bought or leased. Always stood alone: the blackest if ever sheep. Rest In Peace to X, Mac Miller, and Lil Peep. Hate seeing talent die without their peak. Real love is hard to find, artificial when you die. When the artist is alive, show support beyond retweets. I ain’t trying to die young to find peace. Fly in bold: way more than a sneak peek. Truth be told: it’s all apart of the scheme: Put the game in a chokehold, no Iron Sheik. Life is what you make it. Go after all that you seek. Ain’t a thing on this planet outside your reach. I repeat: Life is what you make it. Go after all that you seek. Ain’t thing on this planet outside your reach. Go and take it regardless! (Outro) I go the hardest, babe. Bullseye on my target, babe. (Go and take it regardless!) If I don’t paint my pain, what makes me an artist, babe? I gotta make sure we get it regardless! Truly
9.	Casino 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Young kingpin, breakdance while the world spin. Shawty throw it back, had my neck in a whirlwind. Find your purpose, search until the world ends if you need to. We don’t get a sequel. My Birthdays was the best days. Everything else ain’t shit ‘less I get paid. Be the best me. Get free when I’m on stage. Loving every second of the blessing: hope it don’t fade. Made a resolution with the mirror: Be yourself for the rest of your days, and you’ll only get better with age. Ain’t got a second to waste. Switch gears. Only fearing an early trip to pearly gates. Keeping my angels waiting. Arte Magnus, living up to my name. Overdrive: there’s never enough to gain. Sirloin, how I’m raising the stakes, and do whatever it takes. Love the player, not the game. Ayee Casino (Hook) Rising and fall: the trials to make it through. For all you endure, there’s so much more to do. [So enticed! Shining under all the bright lights like we at a Casino! Roll the dice, see your freedom! For the Love, not the C notes, But we stacking chips, no Fritos!] Shining like we at Casino! Roll the dice, see your freedom! For the love, not the c notes! But we stackin chips, no Fritos! Shining like we at Casino! (Verse 2) Roulette: bet on myself when the rest Left. More supersonic than Detleff Shrempf, Payton or Shawn Kemp. Back on my bullshit like Jordan in 45. Saw potential and fell in love before I went live, so I’ll be damned if anyone eliminate my shine. Illuminated: it’s about damn time! Patiently waited: God had me on stand-by. 50 cent for my thoughts: many men have tried. Cooking beats till my pen fried. Addictive personality: it’s gonna be hard to ever retire. Mamba mentality: won’t pass it up for anything on this Earth. If I die young, pray the music is my rebirth. Or I’ll live thru you, the people I’ve inspired. Chase your passion, what ignites your fire. Vision bigger than a peephole. So casino: stack Deniro till my life is expired! AYYEE! Rising and fall: the trials to make it through. For all you endure, there’s so much more to do. [So enticed! Shining under all the bright lights like we at a Casino! Roll the dice, see your freedom! For the Love, not the C notes, But we stacking chips, no Fritos!] Shining like we at Casino! Roll the dice, see your freedom! For the love, not the c notes! But we stackin chips, no Fritos! Shining like we at Casino!

Lately I've been feeling so weightless. You're the reason I am amazing. Gotta get it, tired of waiting. Baby girl, you are my salvation Lately I've been feeling so weightless. You're the reason I am amazing. Gotta get it, tired of waiting. Baby girl, you are my How do I write about love? I've never been there, baby. No more maybes, I need certainty. No more let me knows. Please don't let me go Crazy...how you find your way when you stop stressing the destination. Take my time: I need all your patience. To make it worth all your anticipation. Entertain all of my cravings. Claws in my back while you calling my name. That's my favorite playlist. Driving the boat. Know it drives you insane. Cut from the same, cloth. Nothing I can't handle. Kill your insecurities. No need for any cameos. Satisfy my sweet tooth. You're just like candy. Lately I've been feeling so weightless. You're the reason I am amazing. Gotta get it, tired of waiting. Baby girl, you are my salvation Lately I've been feeling so weightless. You're the reason I am amazing. Gotta get it, tired of waiting. Baby girl, you are my If you're not the one, girl, you're the proto The type I'd love to bring out to Kyoto. Your focus untouchable, grind too amazing. Remind me of passion I found in the basement. Lost in the world, my usual placement. Helped me improve my navigation. On my shit like a laxative. Keep me hungry, chasing, never chill, complacent. Born to hold ya, remind you that you're divine. Make sure you shine like a supernova. We in sync, no Timberlake. Thinking wedding ring but I better wait. Something like a forever thing. Far from a fling just to hold me over. Feeling like this is Destiny, child, so in the field I'll be your soldier. Lately I've been feeling so weightless. You're the reason I am amazing. Gotta get it, tired of waiting. Baby girl, you are my salvation Lately I've been feeling so weightless. You're the reason I am amazing. Gotta get it, tired of waiting. Baby girl, you are my

TOOL Energized by the passion Recharge. If the beat hard, I go adamantium. Indestructible, learned that the harder way, penny for your thoughts? Throw it in a wishing well. Hating on me? Cry me a river, and I hope you drown in it. That’s no hatred, I just been fed up like I cleaned the plate. Do it right now, I don’t wanna wait. Woke up without a care in the world, With a free mind, spirit on full shine. Harvest the happiness, no skating, but I got the illest grind. Ready for the prime time like TNT. No shaqtin a fool when I dropped these jewels. Packed with the crack like a drug mule. Ball out from June to June. God told me use these tools to make sure all me and my people are having the TOOL (Hook) 2x Time of our lives, yea, The time of our-time of our! Hey, the time of our lives yea. Been through the fire I feel so ignited, I’m so excited! I hope that you living the Time of your life yea The time of your life yea, the time of your life yea! (Verse 2) It’s our year, all year. Aww yeah, had to make that clearer than the mirror showing me the people’s champion. Fist in the air in the freedom! I pray my grandkids really see some. Free of hatred, free of racism. Blessed with this undying optimism. I won’t let me see anything as a prison. Love, the main addition to my mission. Too much of that here for haters to subtract! Might need a Q-tip if you can’t hear the focus. We’re bred to be giants. This thing getting vivrant! Bath in the sun, became one with my vices. Ate all the pain, I gotta balance diet. Made my own wave but I am not Poseidon. A Queens kid on the rise, who could’ve seen an early demise, if the music didn’t give him new life. I do this for every piece of my heart. Mama, sister, tiny baby, steppops and my Brodies. Smile unbreakable. Thinking that you gone shake it, you gone need a bomb or two. Last call for the underdogs: Believe in yourself and follow through. Cheers to us having the, having the... Time of our lives, yea, The time of our-time of our! Hey, the time of our lives yea. Been through the fire I feel so ignited, I’m so excited! I hope that you living the,the time of your, Time of your life yea.. Time of our lives, yea, The time of our-time of our! Hey, the time of our lives yea. Been through the fire I feel so ignited, I’m so excited! I hope that you living the,the time of your, Time of your life yea..
