Love Life
Lyric Sheet
Written by: Clean
Produced by: Luke Shrestha
Verse 1
Reflecting on the days that I came up
Everybody packing the steel I’m talking Stain-less
More homicides cause they don’t let the drama slide
I done seen too much death I should be traumatized
(yea)
But who knows I might be
PTSD in my life is more than likely
They so don’t hold it in
So I let it out
Through the music
That’s where I get to yell it out
And choose love so i'll never be a hater
Learned to get it on my own in the home of the Raiders
Independent hustle so nobody can debate em
I was raised in the game so nobody ever played em
I learned life is all about
What you make it
And nothing comes free in this world
You gotta take it
Never live a lie or fake it until you make it
Opportunities aren’t planned
Therefore you must create it
Chorus
X2
Put ya hands in the air if ya love life
Don't lose the groove just do it all night
Verse 2
Realized I got a lot more to live for
And it’s always people doing worse so I give more
Not rich in pocket
But my heart deep
So Imma give to the world
Until my heart beat stops
But for now it’s my duty
To push peace and love in the world and find beauty
Despite opposition if they all wanna view me in a negative way
Cause see I gotta give the true me
And I’m just trynna be a beacon of light
I know that nobody’s perfect
We just getting it right
But I’m just trynna rid the world of the stereo types
And maybe elevate yo mind to a aerial height (hey) (uh)
So please take a listen
The choice is yours
You only get what you giving
The time is now so I hope you make it your mission
To be the best author of how your story written
Verse 3
So if you blessed to see another day
You gotta live in the moment to take the pain away
Be defined by who you are not what you used to be
Cause life’s about change not continuity
So Let go of the past and dream free
Not confined by the rules set by society
Just find ya own path
You already got the key
To open up every door
Take a step and you’ll
see

If Only
Lyric Sheet
Written by: Clean & Luke Shrestha
Produced by: Luke Shrestha
Verse 1
I saw the potential
You had the credentials
All of the time you stayed on my mental
Gave you my heart cause I don’t do rentals
Now you driving me crazy
Guess the time wasn’t perfect
But I know that it’s worth it
And it’s sad to say cause we don’t wanna believe it ain’t working
Naw
You say we better as friends
But you know it’s a lie
Cause no one can replace what I’m still trynna hide
You the real type
Chill type
Down to earth, might get a kneel
If you really trynna build in life
No hype
Took a break and pray you come right back
Cause girl I don't really wanna feel liiike.
Chorus
If only time could rewind again
If only present could be past I’d live
Like if only would’ve never been
I’d be holding you closer than I ever did
So let’s go
Back
(Let’s go back)
So let’s go
Back
(Let’s go back)
So let’s gooo
Back
(Well alright)
So let’s go
Back
(Let’s go back)
So let’s go
Back
Verse 2
One month too long all alone
Gotta roam wasn't ready for the break up
No lie kill pride
I can see it on ya face that you ready for the make up
(Wake up) nightmares of the worst day, reminiscing bout ya birthday
And all the time we shared no longer spared
Working on a new first date
Too busy with life and making it right neglecting yo touch
Yo voice in the night
Was never enough, I need you in sight the moment you left I knew it was wrong
So now we just text with no feeling
If given a chance I can heal it
Cause blank stares at the ceiling got me like
(Chorus)
Bridge
You said forever wouldn’t be enough
(No, no)
How did you change your mind
From thinking bout us?
To leaving a blank space
That used to be filled with love
Then breaking your promise
That you would keep my heart
(No, nooo)
Verse 3
Since time passed
It ain’t the same
We try to make it deep
But it’s simple and plain
Where the love go?
How you feel girl?
Tell me was I ever living in the real world?
You told me play the cards that I’m dealt
Well what’s the deal girl?

Written by: Clean

Verse 1
I done been through some real shit
So I ain’t even gon stress though
I can’t
I’m just trynna make a mill quick
Get my mama outta debt so
I’m out here
Just grinding like a muthafucka
And praying one day that it pay off
So I stay on the hustle
The struggle is real
That’s why I cannot take a day off
I got
Too much on my list now
So I focus on the hits now
Can’t sit down
Work hard till the checks come
And it’s mortgage over rent now
Blue chips now
Yea I’m talking bout val-ue
And paving the way to allow you
To have what you want on this earth
If you trynna go get it let me show you how to
Chorus
X2
Fools Gold
I ain’t talking bout him
I ain’t talking bout her
I’m talking bout me
And one day the world will know
When stars align when skies will fall
What I’m talking bout.
Verse 2
I ain’t even posed to be here
Cause the odds was against me
But what?
But I’m bout to tell a new story
Pre re-write history
Keep going
Bout a kid who never had shit
Working his ass off to keep up
While chasing a dream nobody else seen
Or thought that it really could be one
Now what?
Now I’m out here on a slow grind
And I’m working on my own time
Which I don’t mind
Only focused on the future now
No time for the rewind
Let it stay behind
And I’m blind to fact that
I was raised in the city were the track smack
Where the guns don’t sleep
And the babies don’t eat
And the church next door
To where the trap at
Chorus
X2
Verse 3
Now it’s crunch time
So I’m focused everyday on these punch lines
Cause I remember the days when I came up
Al-ways posted in the free lunch line
Must grind
I ain’t trynna go back now
So I’m ready wit a plan of attack now
Of how to get doe
Flip moe
Don’t blow it
Just grow it
Do it off a lil bit of rap now
You are what you attract now
Focused on the stacks now
Killing competition
Never been the type to back down
Put it in sack now
Black child raised in the
Hood where its normal that
You gotta keep a strap around
Oh wow
Every day it goes down
Trynna be a cash cow
Beef in the streets
You gotta milk it till it’s gone now
Get it on ya own now
Earned every dollar I ain’t looking for a loan now
King of the throne now
Left behind everything I knew
My family, my city and a w2
Bet it all on a dream deferred
I’m gon be heard
I see it all from a bird’s eye view
Elevated perspective
So I’m never neglecting
The reason why I do it
Wit not 1 exception
I just gotta keep going
Even when I’m feeling hopeless
Since nobody gave us nothing
Imma be that blessing (uh)
Chorus
X2
Bridge
Doubt on my mental
From struggles I been through
So when life got me beat
I can’t help but to think that I’m so instrumental
To the world that we live in
I’m just playing my part
So I bleed on the page
Wear my heart on the stage
And it’s all for the sake of the art
Chorus
X2

You’ll Never Wish
Lyric Sheet
Written by: Clean, Luke Shrestha and Simon Jay
Produced by: Luke Shrestha
Chorus
If day was night
Was this be real as it is?
Would I see sides of you that shouldn’t exist?
I turned my back to things you couldn’t resist
You’d have a thousand stars
But this shooting star you’ll never wish
Verse 1
Hijacked by yo love can I get it back?
My heart you stole it and broke it in pieces now I can put it back,
Together relationship is like the weather
You switching up on me daily I think I need a umbrella cause
It’s coming down I can start to feel the rain and uh
It’s getting harder I can start to feel the pain and I
Thought it was real but it was nothing but a game to ya,
I would’ve gave my last name to ya but uh
You can keep wishing on a star and a thousand because
I heard you tell ya friends you can do without em and uh
The truth is I wanna wish you the best
But see I gotta get this off my chest before I move on
Pre chorus
When seasons change
Will love remain?
I ask myself
Chorus
X1
Verse 2
Who would've thought what was love at first site
Could be over in the blink of a eye?
I guess it make sense.
Cause fast love can crash love when past loves
Come back to reclaim they spot
Ain’t gotta ask cause
I guess I shoulda known the rules of engagement
Played my position but you were so amazing
So yea I fell for you
And went through hell for you
Heart locked jail for you
Even when the others came around I wouldn’t bail for you
Kept it in cell for you
Phone locked mail for you
Now I get the picture and the message couldn’t tell who was
Taking ya energy commanding your attention
Shoulda known because you never would listen
Bout now I’m moving on
Chorus
X1
Bridge
I spend my wishes on the idea of you
Every wishing well
Every time I knelt
I’d put my hands together
Ask god to help you
Now I’m wishing less
And just flying more
Chorus
X1

Produced by: Luke Shrestha
Verse 1
Just trynna make it out
Seen em all fail so I took another route yep
I be a fool if I didn't
Cause the story is the same it was written
I’m talking section 8-dope house
Saw em cooking in the kitchen
Glass jar in the freezer wasn’t trippin
My cousin on track and its crazy, cause they judge her but I love her
How ironic cause her brother be pimpin (oh god)
Help me lord help me lord
I’m just praying that I see another day
Time will tell if I prevail
I know fasho that it's gon be another way
So now I’m like wait hold up
I hit you when I’m finished
In the booth I’m just trynna handle business
If you ain’t on the page that I’m on
Then I gotta get gone
I suggest you catch up and start flipping
Right now
Cause see I’m focused on this dough and gotta get it
Anything contrary I ain’t wit it
I listen to the wise no pride
Plus I heard it all before
Time is money better watch how you spend it
Real talk
Pre chorus
Don’t call if you ain’t all in
Cause imma make this shit pop
After hours on the late night
And now we got this shit locked
Remember when they wasn't checking for me?
And now they see that I’m the man
And they wonder how I got here
Cause I was sticking to the plan
Chorus
Now I’m headed to the finish line
The finish line (wooo)
Yea I gotta get there
To the finish line
The finish line (wooo)
Yea I gotta make it there
Been running these races no flags in my hand
But
I’m to the finish line
Batons all around me no passing through hands
But
I’m to the finish line
The finish line
Verse 2
So now I’m looking towards the future
Cause I know it’s gon be bright
When they was in they club
Having fun Going up
I was in booth like we gon be all night
Until we get this shit perfect
Working on every line
We gotta make sure it’s worth it
Know I should take my time conditions got me on urgent
Family I gotta feed ain’t rushing just to be splurging
Naw I got a dream much bigger
And I’m just in the first quarter
Trynna put a million in the ceiling
Way before I get a deal and now they gotta come correct with the order
I done sacrificed too long too long to give it all up
It gotta make sense
I need that 80/20
No limit
85
cash money
How I’m feeling imma want every cent
Cause I done put that work in work in so gimme all that
Quit both of my jobs cause I don't believe in fall backs
Put my money up invested and got it all back
If I ain’t a hustler then tell me what do you call that?
Chorus
X1
Bridge
Ain’t no turning back
Ain’t no turning back
I’m running toward the finish line
I’m running I’m running
