Chorus (Hook) Do You Know When its iLL, Do You Know When its iLL, Do You Know When its iLL, Intro: Welcome to the Album, Do you know when its Hot, Do you know when its Cold Do you know when its Young, Do you know when its Old, Do you know when its New, Do you know when its True, V1. Do you know when its got that glow, Ready to blow, Don't really think so, Don't really think so, When its got that glow, Don't really think so, You a coat tail drag er, You a coat tail drag er, Don't really think so, You know you got, A whole new swagger, Now let me go and get that Hit that Rip that, Don't think you know when its hot, Got that heat behind it, With knowledge that keeps them climbing, Telling truths no time for lying, Making moves like a hungry lion, Other rappers don't think they trying, Making excuses steadily crying, Steadily crying I stay on triumph, Stay grinding like Pusha T, Call me Pusha E or Manny Duke, MD that main directive, I check the method, Or check the message, Coming thru with real music, Classic drum set, ha real music don't think you heard the line, Classic drum set, 8-piece Tama for your Mama, To feel it in her back, As I rip this track, And do it don't need no dro sack haha, That was the old line the get line The new line you never get in line If you got a great lining Then your fresh to death like my flow is (Woah) You ain't even know, I do this off the top, As I go kid, Too much practice every Tuesday, At the 606 getting it. Bridge (What up Jory) Do you know when its iLL, (What up Shadow, Chi-Town) Do you know when its iLL, Do you know when its hot, Do you know when its real, Do you know when its hot, Do you know when its real, Do you know when its iLL, Do you know when its iLL

V.1 We do it like Spike Lee and Those Michael Dudes Jordan and Tyson, Bo Jackson Moves Whip into shape so don't mistake My lines and rhymes don't save Face Ain't never fake so take a page Out of my book live in the moment Push homie push survival of the strongest Down to the wire clutch on the opponents Combustible components vision like we zoning On that remote control it Windy City Rolling The prize in sight can be denied With passion this fly its a wrap no lie. Chorus (Hook) Repeated Twice Live Fast, Like a Light Year Student Wake up everyday just to do it And not just to do it Ain't like you gotta prove it Prove it prove it prove it You known to just do it V2. Faster than the speed of light, Feeling everything I write, Writer block I use a brick, Algebra 2 trig Archetic a new road, We can all cruise on, Not those goofy tune songs, Annoying on ringtones. Stay making theme songs, Bounce so you can lean on Then get more gone, Than a non free man, Just seen the keys, Put the squeeze on, A piece of the pie, No minimums Down in a funk Deserve addition Tremendous conditions With sweet renditions Nobody wanna be Just a wanna be A has been Half ass Chasing after first or running from last Too concerned with the past Are you prepared to be exact No one ever prepares to be whack

My Own Cool 03:02
V1. Look stud we different, No time for your ignorance, Only stating common sense, Your past tense, Build the suspense Fuqua with a Pen, You past tensed to scared to send Trends, I'm so prepared to get it in, No cookie cut outs could dare to contend Pose or pretend, You know where it ends, Where the road you travel, Why you roll to the one beaten thin, Chorus (Hook) I'm on my own Cool, On my own Cool, On my own Cool, We Chilling, I'm own Cool, On my own Cool, On my own Cool, Chi-Town iLLin' Setting my own rules, As we all cruise, Style like pro's do, We Chilling, Setting my own rules, As we all cruise, Style like pro's do, Chi-Town iLLin' V2. I rather turn heads Drop jaws and lady's drawers From spitting ill shit, Things they never though, No half as beginners, Could never get the picture, Could get the way they feel, Too concerned with fingers pointed, Couldn't give a fuck less, If it didn't concern checks, Couldn't give a drop of sweat, No regret Rather my success, Getting shit off my chest, My own cool, Stand out like a purple jet yes. Chorus (Hook) I'm on my own Cool, On my own Cool, On my own Cool, We Chillin., I'm own Cool, On my own Cool, On my own Cool, Chi-Town iLLin' Setting my own rules, As we all cruise, Style like pro's do, We Chillin, Setting my own rules, As we all cruise, Style like pro's do, Chi-Town iLLin' V3. Copy your swag out a TV ad Then get mad When your shit old and whack How is that All That posing for the past, If you didn't know, Posters all got dates attached, All great trends come full circle, Takes a special person To come through and work it Cliff hang swag over the edge Going full speed ahead, Without breaking a leg. Ha! Chorus (Hook) I'm on my own Cool, On my own Cool, On my own Cool, We Chilling., I'm own Cool, On my own Cool, On my own Cool, Chi-Town iLLin' Setting my own rules, As we all cruise, Style like pro's do, We Chilling, Setting my own rules, As we all cruise, Style like pro's do, Chi-Town iLLin'

V1.) We all want it all, we all have dreams We all got fight some low self esteem No means drive guts to get the green Which seems to control a hold on everything While others hustle trying to make the cut Making a way to keep their weight up See an opportunity and don't wait up Don't give to fucks about you fakers Getting paid more ways than a pay stub Dressed to impress ladies with at least a C Cup Cop new whips chains shoes and gift Brag about trips to hanging with a click Ladies getting fake tits injection in their lips Close that don't fit heels that shape shift Feet to hammer toes ashy elbows From jumping circles to chasing bank rolls. Chorus (Hook) I want it all, I want it all I want it all such a simple dream I want it all, I want it all Living check to check Living check to check Ain't the life for me. V2.) Ain't the life for you, ain't the life for me I have to ask where's the referee Of this here life, I take a right What's behind me, flashing lights How could I provoke with passive aggression Thinking adolescence giving up gun possession Here for my protection I go the wrong direction And we need correction I don't get it The people that got it never really get it Soon as they get it forget it on to new shit A void they can't feel for lack of feelings While the rest of us hustle to maintain steam Fuel for our dreams rise like cream Yeah we want it all what all does it mean Lots of green, fulfill a vision we've seen Not just to be seen fresh and clean on scene. Chorus (Hook) I want it all, I want it all I want it all such a simple dream I want it all, I want it all Living check to check Living check to check Ain't the life for me. V3.) Couldn't be me an over spoken phrase, How you the best and don't know how to play, You participate often hesitate, Lil homie stand back you might catch a wave. Or a whiff as I zip like YKK, You hoes scared like Y2K, Seeing out my plans like the CIA Or DEA I don't take off a day. I prepare for the week and not to be weak, To be known like Bo before 93, Persevere like Jackie waiting on my relief, To be stress free after I succeed. Make you all believe like proactive, How I'm proactive, Plan with wit like witnessed it before time hit, They heard the last tick, I ran home with it. Chorus (Hook) I want it all, I want it all I want it all such a simple dream I want it all, I want it all Living check to check Living check to check Ain't the life for me. (Bridge) We all want it all, We all have dreams, We all want it all, We all have dreams We all want it all, We all want it all, We all have dreams. Chorus (Hook) I want it all, I want it all I want it all such a simple dream I want it all, I want it all Living check to check Living check to check Ain't the life for me.

Party Jungle 03:12
Must be a Party Jungle Yeah, Yeah V1. Party, Party, Party we back in the basement, 18 years old no conversation, Hips Straight moving bass vibrating, Neon Lights smoking Haitian, Purple Hazing bumping Dipset, Juicy J Project Pat, Them Hot Boys Outkast, Ruff Riders and No Limit, One more drink we in it Jack, Choosing her minds at, I'm on it like a Sales Rack, Women stay shopping Black, Press all up like the Tribune, Her perfume they wanna consume, A Nice rack and back you can concur, She poked it out an I Conquered Her. Chorus (Hook) (Repeated Twice) Animalistic everyone go Ballistic Must be a Party Jungle Hot and Frisky everyone so Sticky Must be a Party Jungle V2. Lame dudes staring awkward, Acting like he saw her first, That's how your lame brain works, Couldn't find a wrench to make a twerk. Your breath smells like liverwurst, Your shoes look like they lack work, Didn't come for an altercation, Started pacing pop lock and braking. Just to bring her home like bacon, Show her that I'm so amazing, Don't play like Kevin Bacon, Yeah she gets taken, Down like his pride Jo, Ain't Pro now he solo, My swag got mad holes, Like the Ozone oh no. Chorus (Hook) (Repeated Twice) Animalistic everyone go Ballistic Must be a Party Jungle Hot and Frisky everyone so Sticky Must be a Party Jungle V.3 As we cruise in my Fire bird, Focused not to hit a curb, Get brain not a swerve, Her top is proper for sure, She is the finest, I ran into a lioness, My hairs our like a lion, We hit her exit gliding, At home so exciting, Alone that reminds me, Go ballistic on her hinny, She dropped her panties climbing, Now she is co-piloting These walls she's riding, Kitchen tables and sinks, We connected oh we linked. Chorus (Hook) (Repeated Twice) Animalistic everyone go Ballistic Must be a Party Jungle Hot and Frisky everyone so Sticky Must be a Party Jungle

Woah, Woah, DOYO another classic Ahhh Chilling on my bass kick, On my bass kick, We spend our whole lives trying to make sense Though sometimes It really doesn't make sense Sense, sense trying to make rent. V1) Exchange time for sense, just to make rent, College expense, walls caving in, The floors look thin, no visible end, No one lends a hand to the blind man. Who couldn't see a path, Avoid being trapped, On physical seduction, Swagger dagger function. Rather buy a lunch able Instead of holding a lunch in Monkey see Monkey do, End of the discussion. Consume and disposable Their mind so controllable, Doing what they can do, Couldn't find the truth The passion that resides inside, That makes you, you, instead of being a robot Feeling so screwed Where's waldo probably at Aldo's, Copping new shoes to wear for tomorrow, Impress a few friends lost all his marbles, Plus a few screws feeling so confused. (Chorus) Hook Chilling on my bass kick, On my bass kick, We spend our whole lives trying to make sense Though sometimes It really doesn't make sense Sense, sense trying to make rent.

U-Turn 03:35
Let me know V1. If I don't change And you don't change, How can we sustain in this world of pain, Feeling in different on how to make a difference, Ignorance is bliss till you get dismissed, Then you getting pissed, Like you shouldn't be missed, The whole world owes gratitude bullshit Where's your imprint, You've failed to impress, I think its time to move, On to the next. Chorus (Hook) If I don't turn And You don't turn Our main concern Do we live and Learn Learn to live, Give then take, Take don't give, Learn to act fake, Learn to hate, Or just be real, Tell me how you feel, When the world is ill, Let me know, Don't have Time for a U-Turn, Just Time to make, The money turn I earn, If I don't turn And You don't turn Our main concern Do we live and Learn Learn to live, Give then take, Take don't give, Learn to act fake, Learn to hate, Or just be real, Tell me how you feel, When the world is ill, Let me know, Don't have Time for a U-Turn, Just Time to make, The money turn I earn, Let me Know, Let me Know, Just let me Know, Don't got time for a U-Turn, Let me Know, Let me Know, Time to make the money Turn, I Earn. V2. We take turns, we can learn, Easier said and rarely done, Point the blame, Empathy and Shame, I feel pain, You shouldn't feel the same, We had relations, No frustrations, Just inebriation, No half engagements, Is patience a thing of the past, I put you first you shouldn't put me last. Chorus (Hook) If I don't turn And You don't turn Our main concern Do we live and Learn Learn to live, Give then take, Take don't give, Learn to act fake, Learn to hate, Or just be real, Tell me how you feel, When the world is ill, Let me know, Don't have Time for a U-Turn, Just Time to make, The money turn I earn, If I don't turn And You don't turn Our main concern Do we live and Learn Learn to live, Give then take, Take don't give, Learn to act fake, Learn to hate, Or just be real, Tell me how you feel, When the world is ill, Let me know, Don't have Time for a U-Turn, Just Time to make, The money turn I earn, Let me Know, Let me Know, Just let me Know, Don't got time for a U-Turn, Let me Know, Let me Know, Time to make the money Turn, I Earn. V3. Nice guys finish last, Jerks finish first, Where do you turn, Things don't work, Rings, merch, Heels, purse, Just a sneak peak, Of a woman's worth, Taking care of home, No time to roam, Sheets stay soaked, She loves your cologne, T-Shirt panties on, Alone don't change, Planned bike ride, And unplanned rain. Chorus (Hook) If I don't turn And You don't turn Our main concern Do we live and Learn Learn to live, Give then take, Take don't give, Learn to act fake, Learn to hate, Or just be real, Tell me how you feel, When the world is ill, Let me know, Don't have Time for a U-Turn, Just Time to make, The money turn I earn, If I don't turn And You don't turn Our main concern Do we live and Learn Learn to live, Give then take, Take don't give, Learn to act fake, Learn to hate, Or just be real, Tell me how you feel, When the world is ill, Let me know, Don't have Time for a U-Turn, Just Time to make, The money turn I earn, Let me Know, Let me Know, Just let me Know, Don't got time for a U-Turn, Let me Know, Let me Know, Time to make the money Turn, I Earn.
