Lavoros Ethos

Written to J-Rell "Untitled 2"

I think I dodged a bullet
It was my fault, I'm the o e who dared them to pull it
And boy did they , I got three by my head
If I'd been a little bigger the other three would've hit my chest
That was my catch 22 circumstantial situation
Chicks saw me bleeding and assumed I needed saving
But...how wrong they were
Umm, that was very possibly the understatement of the year
I concur

And once I figure how to write these songs
I'm on, plus I got the work ethic of Karl Malone
I'm home, chillin on the couch ordering a phone
All alone, no companion necessary I'll stick with a drone
Maybe if you could reach this upper echelon
Status, I could drop a ladder for you to step up on
Until then, whirlwinds keep me all up in the mix
I have arrived, my coming out party is soon did you get invited to this?
No...ok I'll send a verse through air mail
Get it? Cuz it's fly, skills suppress that Ill feel
Better yet it makes your tolerance rise
Boosts your immune system so you can sleep better at night

Supastar

Written to Wiz Khalifa "Superstar"

I mess around and burned em
They try to get on, I spurned em
You want more praises from me, then you better earn em
Cuz the minute you start slacking, you invite those half-wit fools that aren't afraid of action
But that my opinion, take it how the hell you want
And if you're contemplating sympathy don't
This cruel world didn't show us nothing, not mercy or the time to rest
But I digress
As long as this beat remind of walks on the beach
Sipping on coronas, never getting any sleep
I got that royal flush for you, read em and weep
And a lot of people talk shit, but soon enough that will cease
I release all pent up energy in this
And I can go romantic, Shakespearean sonnet
Hey girl I'll show the world on my comet
Just remember that karma is a bitch, and so are negative comments
And my flow is the truth that if somethings wrong it right it
And if you're far-sighted, I can give you free prescription
To my words, it performs miracles just give this listen
I think I'm a supernova,
A bright light until I died and came back warming up these cold shoulders
It's been a long time coming man
I think now is the perfect time to start ushering me in

All of the lights Pt. 2

I'm curious as to how the hell did you think you'd see me,
These Helen Keller niggas, trying to talk as if they'd beat me
What I'mma do is write certain verse
and then kill it, to show how little energy I exert
Once I flex my left brain...forfeit the game
If you have noticed, I'm a wild card draw down
And only jaw-broken dudes thought I'd exit first round
Manny Pacquio, pound-for-pound sound
You've never heard of me? I didn't come from underground
I've been right here the whole time
Actually I've been struggling to ascend, a slow climb
Ask anyone a story that know mine,
I guarantee if you not on short time, its one of a kind

All of the lights Pt. 1

Written to Kanye West "All of the lights (Ghetto University)"

Went to sleep, woke up this is looking like a dream world
Popped up the Faceboom, Twitter, and then the email
I'm getting praised and acaims saying I got the details
Just right, And my stuff may be ready for retail
So how should I respond? I get better as I go along
The calm before the universerse is gone
And I promised before this writing shit that I'd never hurt her
But I'm into destroying worlds like hers, silver surfer
Truth...we go back like reversed caps
Before this new era, before minute errors
Currently caught in these bright lights
From the way I illuminated it at night
It's a light show when I take the mic,
consider this as your invite, if it does suffice

Logic above all Emotion

Written to Big Sean "Home Town"

I think I messed the memo
It was permanent, I thought it was just a demo
And it's my fault, I assume the logic matched the emotion
But it didn't, they mixed like oil in the ocean
Mr. Hayward why didn't you warn about the leak
I feel like the public...and she's BP
And it's unfair, as I'm speaking heart still bleeding
I thought I would catch a disease, instead I caught feelings
And that sums it up, that's the present in the future tense
And she's an angel, a present for you future gents
How did it just happen, best friends saying I told you so
"You should never put your heart on pause, silly ho"
And I agree with em, I'm just a hopeless roman-
tic...tic...tic...whoa man
Are you writing a song about her already? Hold it.
You just lost in a game where it's logic above all emotion.
So I'm here again, record 0-8
I wonder if they tell the truth when they try to say
That true love waits, if only they could say the day
Then I could save date, and then save my pay
Because out of all the money spent it's over in a flash
And damn it if I didn't listen to my mother claiming it was to fast
That it prolly won't last
I look back and laugh
At the...fact that she's always been proven right
And that I should listen no matter how much we tend to fight
I feel so far gone, Drake write a verse for me
I feel so fucking numb, somebody grab a hearse for me
I could die at anytime the way my heart feels
Like it broke to little pieces, Humpty Dumpty on banana peels
Ah...and here I thought she was the one
Now I'm confused about what exactly has been going on
Like...has she been lying and she's known all along
Or not, either way I end up all alone
I could probably bed a chick tonight
But I'm not a dick and then there's the hindsight
Cuz in a couple years, Imma recall it and all those memories
Actually in a couple years she won't even remember me
I'd put a million on it, I'm so forgettable
They say there's no comparison I take it as literal
But in that case, wouldn't it mean that they were lying
Or that they knew before hand that I would keep trying
To be the best, laid to rest is my belief in em
I'll switch em like my leathers or my denims
I should've saw it coming, I smell my heart roasting
Now I'll let it burn, logic above all emotion
And that's all I need to write, I bet I'll see you soon
I guess I'll tell my future wife to thank your ass too.
Agh...

Fair Weather

Written to Trey Songz "Bottoms Up"

Sleep at 2, work at 6, welcome to my life.
Wake up at 4, look right, then smile wide.
This is my fairy tale I'm sorry if you don't believe they exist
Look at my royal court, I'm just looking for my prince-ess.
I did my best, thought the rest was just discipline.
ADD love I guess he's the better Ritalin.
I thought that was it for "us", she went the other way
Long distance, fair-weather girl should've let it die in May
What can I say, when they want to get back together I fall hard
History repeats itself, and then I think it's my fault
Well not this time, this time I just got caught-
Up in this romance shit, in the end it's her lost. YUUUPPPP!
Ha..haaaa, Mhmmm. Yeah.

Airborne

I was on the bus and heard this song, and realized that I may have an extended metaphor I could go in on before I we arrived on campus. So surprisingly enough, I got it in less than 10 minutes. Enjoy :)

Written to Diggy Simmons "Airborne"

I own it, it's mine to have and hold
I'm a young owner only 21 years old
If you doubt me, it's your first mistake
Here's a notice for you, the last won't be yours to make
Pay attention if you will, lend me your ears
I'll put you in a heavenly state no tears or fears
When we fly away, there won't be much to say
Just melt the hearts of those who look my way
And while I'm at it, I could never fall
But if I do will they praying for me, alter call
Never drop the ball, Prime Randy moss
Tip toeing to the pile on, there's another loss
Ive heard i should've doubled down, but at what cost
They were influencing me...but I'm the boss
I reflected on perspective and got my signals crossed
It's so easy being fly, when you remain a hawk
But what happens when those poachers come along and try to dethrone
You...from the seat you own
I....remember where I came from
And the chicks that took trips when I've flown
