Kenny Russell It’s time for a change Can’t change my mind All of the times you lied The things we hide I’m over the past Don’t bring up the past Don’t give me a pass times we had to try Are gone and I fight my pride too much I cannot find the time to move on (Time to move on) Time to move- (on) I fight my pride too much I cannot find the time to move on (Time to move on) Time to move on Jay Kasai Verse This is life now, what a sight now Days dark I’ve been living in the night now Sides out I don’t even wanna fight now True colors put you in a different light now Shit was perfect but did I really deserve it I’m learning to put the work in but idk if you worth it I’m done less dark I think that I’m still in search of the sun Nearly departed how can we get to where we begun
2.	Waves Intro Ft Nicklaus Gray 02:47	lyrics	buy track
My evolution choices like do you need me My evolution choices like I'm an evee I'm greedy I mean I'm hungry I'm really looking for bread stacks niggas quitting staters To figure out where the breads at Dead lifts hitting the squats, I'm on the bench press Tryna get bigger in every way I'm intense My intents in tents for the camp so I'm chasing that luchini with cam we really camp lo And this is it, uh we on that grizzly Literally spitting anything interesting Young Castanza with stanzas going bananas like panda y'all some koalas for guala I'm mean for dollars I'm really ready to black, out, bear, beast, Y'all heard the pattern so they say the sky's the limit I'm only fucking with ladders bro My competition was tryna hold they bladders bro Y'all ain't shit I'm packin more than the Apple Store Get me equipped for niggas thinkin they sick We pull up with that syringe and rid em of all they symp-toms It's like dog you beat who's really vic-tims It OE we over every nig uhhhh I shouldnt say it cuz they don't know how to take it I gave em my complex But honestly did you play it? I'm giving em gods work and promising Ima slay it. Heh scouts honors, I promise I'm gonna slay it. Your network really equals your networth I never burn bridges ya'll leaping off em and head first Half of you are stuck on some bitches and putting sex first I'm aiming for plays tell her you need the head first Lemme quit, get my quality up, like kweli and stuff Wallace and grump if I'm shooting you should probably duck Throw you back like a jersey you should probably tuck All of this fun haters sayin all of this luck they sayin jay's faded I think all of you drunk All of you drunk Gotcha panties all in a bunch finished off of the intro We just startin to come It’s OE
3.	Dancing In The Rain Ft CJ Westley 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Hook I got this love and Ima throw it all away (All away) They sayin jay, why you always gotta play (Gotta play) I reply take a look into my face When I'm alone I'm really dancing in the rain Verse 1 (Jay Kasai) cold winters, and not a fan of second place Tell em who you are just to set em straight like a weapon wave Lessons laid I'm getting paid for sessions days That I'm not working, I'm working, since 11th grade It's been a decade I've been rapping on a microphone Doing shit with Stevie up to rapping on a mic alone Thinking that I need him up to never needing hype at shows Rhyming flows embracing that I was dope when I'm alone Important people, dying breed or swords shit I'm still kasai regardless of who's aboard ship Settings sails you so can cop n record shits Now we doing streaming buy a ticket to my shows then I got these records Ima throw em all away Said something's I shouldn't say that I don't ever wanna play I've been gettin in my way my progressions gotta pay Never stressed cuz tomorrow Ima get another day ugh Hook I got this love and Ima throw it all away (All away) They sayin jay, why you always gotta play (Gotta play) I reply take a look into my face When I'm alone I'm really dancing in the rain Verse 2 (CJ Westley) I’m the man my surroundings made me, I only had the anime & games to just escape things, I got 2 sisters, and 4 brothers, never saw much of em. They tell me I was spoiled cuz all they had was each other, But I had no role models, no one went to college, No one taught me wrong from right, So much for problem solving, I got teased for being honest, Teased for being conscious, I’d go home then I’d get teased For being teased like I’m the problem. I got passed feeling worthless, conversing with the urchins, I got more assertive Women who pushed me away Now beggin for insertion Embraced my inner purpose, But Now they call me Dick like I grew up on the circus, The nightwing, the night flings me up to higher planes of thought, god-like things, In black market music dirty money I kept my hands clean. Chose to hang with those with a nose for the bag and the fine things Now all we got is hits like we organize a fight ring nigga, Heard y’all talk behind my back I hope its nice things nigga, You what light brings nigga? Darkness. Just know I still work the hardest. Those who looked down on me fell off and don’t want no part of it.

It's cold in the summer, I'm ghost to my folks somebody tell em I love em We toast to these flows in hopes of em doin numbers Supposed to be on the come up we broke so now I hustle its oe It can never work out yet I'm torn just like a muscle It rains and then it pours I'm coatless in these puddles Extend hands like reed, supposed to for my brothers Becoming a human torch to float ya'll through the tunnel I'm just learning how forgive, in world it's certain you gotta sin They took all I had I turnt back in the midst of the struggle now I plan to exert that in my pen Chasin after a bag man, i got jacked I'm takin all of my bags back And still lost homies I trusted to always have backs Life builds up to rubble when you don't have plans I'm lucky I really have cam, the other night I just texted him with a thank you Said I trusted him in a world filled with these fakers People can shake your hand just wishin that they could break it It's funny because I'm patient, adult hood is really switching my outlook Watch a male/mail fail Certain this isn't outlook got with the program turned it just like a cowlick They decidin if I'm about it, these days I'm desiigner releasing outlet feelin overlooked by the people I keep accounted But my egos so big I'm up even when grounded To y'all who am I really? Is my strength really just my Achilles Is how I'm living really what's gonna kill me When I die I can only promise I'm still me But that's a double edged sword though growth that I exhibits no different then a spores mold Growth to keep living isnt growth to meet your mold A torn soul, i just sit and hope that I didn't lose you Did I? Did I? Did i lose you? Did I? Did I? Did i lose you? Verse 2 (Speech) Cold in all of the seasons Cold shoulder heart on my sleeve coughing and sneezin Text messages looking like I️ gotta stop drinkin All of your replies is the blue ocean I’m sinkin I️ used to be a lifeguard now I’m scared of he deep end I’m fallin off losin my mind tryin to keep it These life lessons is eatin me Gettin harder to breathe I’m barely even sleepin Why I keep fuckin with women becoming teachers Broke phone screens Jumpin to conclusions like platformin and not playin games Nobody’s laughing Your new boyfriend is kinda lame Goes to a nice school He got a masters in Chemistry Yeah I guess thats cool He be eatin dinner at five I️ doubt he eatin you Your conscience lookin hungry. I️ know it’s eatin you Inside No fake auras you can’t fake all of it Male callers and call logs with Irvine ballers Wow It’s like a horror story Glorifying a whore my heart broke I’m Corey Cory is gone and jerit is Shaun and Shaun is feeny Boy meets world tour jacket with all the people Champion sweaters that I never got back from you You blocked my number and I never heard back from you You messaged me from another number months later askin how I’m doin how old are we really that shit is childish Gotta be kidding me we coulda had a kid instead of kitten I’m not livin like I’m forgetting tmrw unforgivable hidden meanings and Hittin mean bitches that was actually mean Lowered my standards to cookin cleaning My heart wasn’t beatin the way it’s supposed to be Beaten defeated by a cheater You pressing all the buttons and it fuckin got me heated I can’t believe it Hook Did I? Did I? Did i lose you? Did I? Did I? Did i lose you?
10.	Feel Important (Epilogue) Ft Nicklaus Gray 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Passion has starved in the mirror I try to carve How I'm living and getting scarred in a record year that's been so hard Peers that can part I've been steering I'm the dark Rear view mirrors when In the car show me nothing but where my hopes gone Not takin shit lately ruins relationships Eliminations i sanction feelin like Kenny Blakenship Thinkin that I'll just make some hits that'll show em how great he is Or fake some shit to make em think I moved to another place with this My patience thin, but I think it's because it's stretched a lot Tryna soars got me soaking flows within this epson salt Dressing like Kanye west and I'm stressing cuz I don't rest a lot Pressing cuz I'm second but always felt I was special dog When was that indicated? now now now Am I entitled from always gettin hated? Living in shadows has got me driven for vindication Wishing for some adults would tell me they like my pictures painted Tryna be KiT or babied? tryna be kiss or baby? I'd barely kiss my lady I'm feeling finished daily Half of my days ones lately I've parted ways from I'm Brazen to walk away but my ego won't make it jays fault Migos I'm letting Take off mostly to show I ain't soft It's at a waves cost, I need a break dog How saying byes gotten easier than a frank talk People wait on me I'm like frank and I'm tryna make blonde Women want my name bitches I never shake off Keep that all Ina cage im like Nicholas during face off Lost Jovany my nana almost my grandpops within a year just to save em id cut my hand off Y'all shouldn't pass in my head I'm feeling like gandolf I'm calling god just to reconsider his plans I'm Feeling more focused instead of feeling more hopeless But every now and again just remind me I need a motive Every now and again can you call me and be my motor Every now and again get me started I need a chauffeur I tend to drive a lot but don't know where I'm going I'm in my mind a lot but that don't help with growing I got my health in order replaced my belt and wore it I got my shell and tore it, I'm not my self ignoring Felt emotions soph was Quick help me know That stealth and covert can't restore my core now I can tell I'm broken That's important..... seeing myself so that I can explore it Having dreams about my hands and I just can't ignore it A bunch of feelings from a touch that Ima seal in storage I'm think I'm scared of love but Wanna feel important just wanna feel important I wanna feel important This is my realest moment Just Wanna feel important Nicklaus Ending I Can't wait I Cant Wait Strong grip can be let go My mirror image has been cold light cuts still a slit throat The right path down a split road Maybe ill be better on my own Maybe ill be better on my own Maybe ill be better on my own Maybe ill be better on my own Maybe ill be better on my own Kasai Tape Vol. 2
