  • Pre-order Beautiful Loser Signed Digi Packs
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    I came across a few copies of the original pressing of my debut album Beautiful Loser via Goon Trax. I have a homie in Japan who put me on (Patrick Gamez thank you brother, everyone else says thanks too!) These are Digi packs and extremely hard to come by, I will sign them unless otherwise specified. I will add a signed photo with a handwritten story from the time in which the LP was recorded. This is going to be a nice package for the real heads. Act fast! The Digi pack is a nice, matte, cardstock, and the art is ill.

about

This track is about an emcee's hunger to make it in the industry. It also shows the conflict of whether to remain true or sell out and go mainstream.

lyrics

Misery


Yeah/ Yeah

I’m here left alone in my misery
I know it ain’t many niggas as ill as me
Everybody who hear my shit be feelin’ me
The longer it takes to get a brake its killin’ me

I’m tryin to get direct connects like Nextel
I’ll like to work my way on the double XL
If I don’t sound like everybody else I won’t sell
I tell them fake record execs go to hell
I’m from where God’s tears are my raindrops
My people on heroine to make the pain stop
Everybody ride the bus get on at the same stop
For teen pregnancy they give the chicks the same shot
It only make they ass fatter so they fuck more
Momma don’t educated them so they still fuck raw
Now babies having babies they get younger and younger
Replacing all my niggas who die every summer
Now you understand my hunger and thirst
In broad daylight guns burst taking all the young first
Now I’m drowning in this Hennessy bottle waiting my turn
To be with God, but then no ones concerned


I’m here left alone in my misery
I know it ain’t many niggas as ill as me
Everybody who hear my shit be feelin’ me
The longer it takes to get a brake its killin’ me

I’m here left alone in my misery
I know it ain’t many niggas as ill as me
Everybody who hear my shit be feelin’ me
The longer it takes to get a brake its killin’ me

It’s only a matter of time before I pull a Shyne
Clock about 9 to 15 I’m dying to get cream
Champagne and caviar dreams
Make niggas put the mic down and carry out schemes
Positive over negative is the right way
Sometimes you gotta flip it do it the life way
Most of my niggas chose to live in a cage
Cause you can’t push a 6 on minimum wage
Yet they want to put limits on a black mans life
Caught a felony so they took my civil rights
All I got is one mic and community knowledge
From the block and some classes in community college
Life stresses pulls on my heart and my dome
Some I’m writing these Psalms
And jotting down poems
With a pimps blood, hustler’s swagger, and killer’s mind
And a sick vocab giving birth to iller rhymes

I’m here left alone in my misery
I know it ain’t many niggas as ill as me
Everybody who hear my shit be feelin’ me
The longer it takes to get a brake its killin’ me

I’m here left alone in my misery
I know it ain’t many niggas as ill as me
Everybody who hear my shit be feelin’ me
The longer it takes to get a brake its killin’ me


The streets watching me and my eyes on the block
Niggas want to see me knocked
Or they want to see me shot
I rather pick up the mic and rock instead of whippin up blocks
To shut down the spot
I’m the hustle brains plus muscle
Different day same struggle watch the young boy bubble
Like alka seltzer if I have to melt ya
It was cause I’m provoked cause I’m so dope
And niggas ain’t hearing me the game is going through a change
And it seems to be more of a conspiracy
Yall niggas get so emotional
You need hugs
You RnB thugs and I ain’t sweating you metro sexuals
I still show niggas what that tech will do
I’m trying to have a debut like Snoop
Bring it I will crush every nigga in ya group

I’m here left alone in my misery
I know it ain’t many niggas as ill as me
Everybody who hear my shit be feelin’ me
The longer it takes to get a brake its killin’ me


I’m here left alone in my misery
I know it ain’t many niggas as ill as me
Everybody who hear my shit be feelin’ me
The longer it takes to get a brake its killin’ me
