Help From Above
I make beats 'cause I'm a
student of Hip Hop.
You all look the same to me...
but I can hear a pin drop when I
opt to show off what I'm all about.
They can't believe it's me, and that
I've got so much clout.

Well,
It's time to let the dogs out. (Woof!)
Play times about over.
We've outgrown that puppy chow.
It's time to get some closure.

I've always been rowdy and I'm
damn proud to be loud.
Just like Trey Gowdy, I stand
out when I'm in a crowd.
Don't be shocked when I come
to rock you, If I am allowed.
Go tell the establishment,
get off my fukkin' cloud.

Life is like a contest, lemme buy a vowel.
If I can't get this tight right now,
I'll throw in the towel.
Look for me on a Friday night,
I'm coming to fukk with your town.
Keep the good times in your sight,
and turn that scowl upside down.

A frown is just a smile on the face of
a sad clown...
but there'll be no more tears,
whenever I come around.

Cheers! Raise your beers to a new
age of positive rap.
Here's to all my peers, I got some
new beats on tap.
Don't fall for the trap they use that
ensnares the soul.
I'm sick of all their crap, come on!
Let's go smoke a bowl.

Don't make me chief this all alone,
This Kush has got me in the wow.
Do not smoke what isn't grown,
please say it with me now.

This is for all you haters...
It's time to learn to love.
Listen up all you spectators...
don't look down from the wings
of a dove.
Be inclined to take your time you
don't have to push and shove.
By design, it'll all be fine,
This life can fit just like a glove.

Here's to all the little things that
we keep dreaming of.
I think that we just need a little
help from above.

In the streets, I'm undisputed...
At the top of my game.
If you try to step to me, you'll end
up sounding lame.
Y'all saying the same damn thing.
It's the fukkin' 90's all over again.
Step up son, take a swing, but
you better be ready for pain.

Well...
That's when all my dogs go... (Woof),
Your time has come and gone.
When I howl I steal the show,
let's get this battle on.

It's always been a part of me,
This wordsmith deep inside.
Sticks and stones can break your
bones but words can't make you cry.

These pronouns learned from TikTok...
Practicing slang that makes you dumb.
Mumble rappers and auto tune artists,
Under the industry thumb.

Life is one big test. Full of strikes and fouls.
Try not to invest in constant punches to
the jowels.
I'm booked up for a nonstop flight,
keeping company with midnight owls.
Theve cooked up something not quite
right that's fukkin' with my bowels.

I won't let it bring me down, I've found
a way around this shit.
You can try to steal my crown, your
bound to get caught when it just don't fit.

Lend me an ear while you pour me a beer,
then maybe you could clap.
I'll make a beat that's crisp and clear so you
can hear me rap.
Some jaws flap with not much to say, but
you can still hear that annoying sound.
Alright. O.k. I hope you find a way to swim
'cause I don't wanna see you drown.

I don't fight this fight alone.
You can keep your golden cow.
Though I'm just mere flesh and bone,
Greater is He that's in me now.

This is for all you haters...
It's time to learn to love.
Listen all you drama baiters...
Take the olive branch from the dove.
There comes a time to see the sign,
by design this life fits like a glove.
Must I remind you, It'll all be fine
with a little help from above.

Here's to all the little dreams that
we keep thinking of.
I think that He is right on time
and the world is mine with some
help from above.
