Money Aint Everything

[Verse 1: Ay-T] Lets face it, money isn't anything// Don't tell me "dudes with no money act like it isn't everything"// Cause I got it, but it doesn't solve my heartbreaks// We die for it, and population falls at high rates// oh wait, you could buy the jewelry and the cars// But no currency could ever fix your broken heart// That's fact, and now we all gotta face it// Don't chase paper your whole life when your gonna waste it// I stand faceless, hating what this worlds done// Without money the only heat you got is the sun// It's kinda funny how things always turn out// Banks fail and yet somehow things always workout// But I won't get into those details right now// What I wanna do is burn the money tree to the ground.// Without money, no one stands as equal// Its true, currency is the root of all evil.//

[Verse 2: Evolxyz] Money ain't anything. Music's where it's at.// I'm only nineteen, but I taught myself how to rap.// Now I'm better than everyone who is claimin' that they stack.// I don't need to have the funds. To acknowledge that they wack.// The truth about my day is that the booth keeps me sane.// I don't need to drop names, but I'll tell you Champ's slain.// Now that's enough of that. Time for me to bring it back.// No one gives a fuck about that Sylvan dressed, demon act.// Now, I could go to the club. Or I could stay home.// Write another song, or tell a lie about my way home.// I've had money, and been homeless in the same year.// With the same addiction, fighting to empty while the pain nears.// It's telling me. That we need to do this right.// Taking XYZ to the top, without a fight.// Intelligence, doesn't seem to be a compliment.// But, I don't give a copulate. All I want's astonishment.//

Anxiety

[Verse 1]: Woke up one day, and I felt all retarded// Don't know why but I had to get the day started// So that day, I was walking down the street// Saw a pretty girl and she was looking at me// Told myself that I had to get a move on// So I went to Game Mode, and turned it on// Nothing to cheesy and nothing to lame// Stood there spittin' continuous of my game// Tried to make it sound perfect in the frame// So then I asked her, whats yo number, whats yo name?// "Anxiety" is what she replied// Couldn't really tell if it was truth or a lie// Suddenly there was a boom of thunder// What she gave looked like a bunch of numbers// Whatever, I jotted it all down// Then ended it with "I'll see you around."//

[Verse 2]: So the week after, I gave her a call// Contemplating if she'd even pick up at all// Luckily, I heard a voice say "hello?"// Quickly replied, but I tried to stay mellow.// "Hey it's Ay-T, remember me?// We talked for a little I think last week// I was just calling to see if you wanted to kick it// Maybe have ice cream or watch Netflix// I don't really know it's all up to you// So girl any ideas of what to do?"// "Hmm I don't know" is how she reacted// Talking bout problems is what got her attracted// Now, I really wonder how it goes// Should I get her chocolate or bring her a rose?// I asked myself that over and over// Saw something burning, it was a 4-leaf clover?//

[Verse 3]: Saturday night, time was rollin' like a boulder// "You look really beautiful" exactly what I told her// She looked at me but all she did was smile back// So I'm guessing that no thank you's ever come with that// The night went on and I felt a little weird// It's like this girls presence is everything I feared// She looked beautiful yea no doubt bout it// But it's like Anxiety itself was wearing this outfit// Got this vibe she treats every guy like a peasant// Depression hit cause she didn't even noticed my presence// Bit her lower lip for every guy that she saw there// Having panic attacks and doesn't seem she really cares// A final guy walked by and she suddenly grabbed him// She said "On To The Next One" happily laughin'// Behind what she did there really was no logic// Then recalled her name and I eventually got it...//

Rewind

[Verse 1:] I had a castle built just to write my whole story// Emotional watch towers displaying my locked away glory// Heartbroken gaurds standing watch over my emotions// Remaining stranded lost in this palace thats broken// Never understanding why all this happened to me// If God made it so, then it was destined to be// Pointing out the obvious and making it more fair// If love is a battlefield, this nuclear warfare// Sitting here babbling man, my lifes all jacked up// Why me huh? Never ONCE did I act tough// Yet remain hurt in various ways// And contemplating on how to end this depressional phase// Can't solve these problems, I can't figure myself out// Pushed on the wrong path, should of know that I would re-route// Heartless, never believing that I would be that// We say we want change, but I have yet to see that.//

[Verse 2:] I been threw the struggles, and I been threw the pain// To me its all a rerun dogg, its just all the same// I use to live in envy, use to take all the blame// Then the rush of misery came along with the strain// Ignited realizing that my future was looking pretty bleak// I took the bibles advice and turned the other cheek// Emotional barriers, now their all broke and weak// Lyrics are the only way that I could EVER speak.// Stressin' over thought waves that turned into shockwaves// Then came the earthquakes that made my whole mind shake// One life so why wait, when I know my fate// That's when I realized, it's all just about mind state// My verses hold fallen angels by their two wings// Sitting here praying to God wishing I could do things// (But I can't) So I sit here on my mood swing// My times up, now I'mma let the chorus sing//

[Verse 3:] God, please, continue to aid me in my life// You've given me blessings, and shown me wrong from right// But when I walked I noticed that it was never in light// Been following my physical vision, not my spiritual sight.// And tonight, I'll get on my knees and begin to pray// Cause I gotta thank you, your light has always shown the way// Thank you for giving me food and a place to stay// And thank you for locking all of my countless inner demons away.// Clouded with doubts, my mentality was blinded// People say religion's only for the simple minded// If that's so, then I really don't mind it// We all got a God, but you just gotta find him.// I still don't understand what love really is// Thought I had that emotion, but it was a sin dripping kiss// These thoughts, they will never exit my mind// God please I beg you, put my life in rewind.//
