Standout

You could’ve been a winner but now your the competition
Cause you left in the middle of the mission
You left me to do it all alone but I ain’t trippin'
Now you hear my songs and all that you can do is listen
Never had my hand out
Now I’m pullin' bands out
Used to be a have not
Now I’m a standout
Put like 20 grand down
Now we've got some land now
Used to be my right hand
Your just a fan now
Laughing to the bank, haha
It all finally clicked, aha
I give thanks to God, Allah
Rollin dank while I get top
Fuck the jakes, fuck the cops
We were straight but now your opps
I was thinking out the box
Now I make your speakers knock
Eating bagels with the cream cheese and capers and the lox
Used to eat a number 3 in the McDonald’s parking lot
Use to smoke a lot of chronic
That’s the same, I'm smokin' pot
I ain’t never been the same since uncle Jerry blew his top but
I never let a set back be my downfall
Now they got Moore giving lectures at the town hall
I lost my daughter but I didn’t let it kill me
I needed you back then but you ain’t care about my feelings
You could’ve been a winner but now your the competition
Cause you left in the middle of the mission
You left me to do it all alone but I ain’t trippin'
Now you hear my songs and all that you can do is listen
Never had my hand out
Now I’m pullin' bands out
Used to be a have not
Now I’m a standout
Put like 20 grand down
Now we've got some land now
Used to be my right hand
Your just a fan now

Bad Habits

Bad habits
I just drank another 5 Rabbit
Bad habits
Gettin' so faded might vanish
Bad habits
Good woman but I’m lookin' at a bad bitch
Bad habits
Giving into bad habits
Crack a fifth to catch a fade
I’ma call a spade a spade
I got problems I exasperate while trying to kill the pain
Chemicals all in my brain
I got toxins in my veins
I got trouble on my heart
Medicate to maintain
Good drink, good smoke
In my system, stood broken
Contemplating all my choices
One more sip to stop the voices
All my pours secrete this poison
Keep on pouring like it’s nothing
Stuff the 'rillo with the reefer
Puffin, cheefin, speakers bumpin'
Dumpin' drugs into my organs
I spent so much on weed I probably could’ve paid a mortgage
I’m ashamed I’ve gotten faded and I’ve missed something important
I remembered once the joint lit that I just missed my appointment
I tilt back another lager when I should be drinking water
Wanna be a better father to my daughter but I’m caught up in the grip of these addictions
I’m afflicted
Gettin twisted
Out here flirting got a misses
If she left me I would miss it and be broken
I’m a dip shit, giving into
Bad habits
I just drank another 5 Rabbit
Bad habits
Gettin' so faded might vanish
Bad habits
Good woman but I’m lookin' at a bad bitch
Bad habits
Giving into bad habits
Super Cali prejudice, I only smoke the dopest
I was just sober simultaneously hopeless
Then I hit a vapor pen of something super potent now I’m floating like a boat that’s in the ocean, I’m toasted
Had to put the bottle down, I was losing focus
Family knows I’m really trying, they appreciate the notion
But trying is not succeeding
She’s crying I’m getting weeded
I’m trying to cope with anxiety
“Why is he so distracted?” she’s asking
Partly cause thinking of raps, partly from being exhausted
If you saw me at my lowest you’d probably think that I lost it
The Moore that you see is awesome
The one at home is an addict
I do my best for my family but still give into bad habits
Bad habits
I just drank another 5 rabbit
Bad Habits
Gettin' so faded might vanish

Ammo

Ammo, ammo, ammo
Ya’ll give me free ammo
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo, ammo
Ya’ll give me free ammo
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo
Snakes in the grass hiding wearing camo
Ammo, ammo
Ya’ll give me free ammo
I’m so chill but if you play me may become an a-hole
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo
My famo calls me Amo
I’m so dope and they know
Slanging taught me how to lay low while still building bankroll
You're not a boss unless you've got some people on your payroll
I’m so chill, but if you play me may become an a-hole
When I served always had the best product so no one returned it like Aces at Wimbledon
I took enough Ls as a shorty
I'm done with that, face me you won’t ever win again
I flip it like burgers at Bennigan's
I get it then split up the dividends
I’ve gotten help from so many friends
I don’t make enemies they don’t help anything
I’m showing love while I build my community
I’m eating good, gotta build my immunity
I never front when I rap, I am really me
I’m laughing cause all these rappers are killing me
Using hyperbole
Most wouldn’t shoot even in an emergency
I move with urgency
Raps more than words to me
If you were rapping in court it’d be perjury
If you ain’t bout it don’t burden me
I don’t got time to be wasted on “do it tomorrow”s or “trying to"s
To try is to fail, so trying's not something I’m trying to do
I’m a nice dude but I’ll bully you if you try hurting me, I’m running over you
Better take that shit back like it’s overdue
I do it instead of "I’m going to"
Ammo, ammo, ammo
Ya’ll give me free ammo
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo, ammo
Ya’ll give me free ammo
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo
Snakes in the grass hiding wearing camo
Ammo, ammo
Ya’ll give me free ammo
I’m so chill but if you play me may become an a-hole
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo
Crushing the competition
They cannot fuck with this shit
But I bet you fuck with this shit
Turn up your speakers and listen
Continue my winning streak
Low Key on the beat and I wrote the speech
I heard your music and peeped the lies
Just think how you look in these people’s eyes
Take some advice: be yourself
Live your life, cherish health
Eat good, feel joy
Feel pain, fill the voids
Feel alive, love rejoice
Peace and love but don’t pry for weakness or try to sneak diss
Cause you don’t need this
Close friends keep problems distant
I was broke once and I don’t miss it
Ammo, ammo, ammo, ya'll give me free ammo
I’m cool in Toyota, I don’t need a Lambo
Ammo, ammo, ammo, ya’ll give me free ammo
ammo, ammo
ammo, ammo
Snakes in the grass hiding wearing camo
Ammo, ammo
Ya’ll give me free ammo
I’m so chill but if you play me may become an a-hole
Ammo, ammo
Ammo, ammo

Now That I'm Paid
03:33
|

Show respect cause we’re the authority
I’m giving you more of me
The best in a while
Musically, morally
Orally telling these stories
Record it, continue exploring
So busy I never get bored
No time for these chores
I need me a maid.
Now that I’m...
Now that I’m paid
I might just throw a parade
I see you throwing that shade
That shit is lame
You should just stay in your lane
Be more adaptive to change
I picked up some change
I flipped it to more
She got the dick, she’s addicted to Moore
They rap the fiction, I’m telling true stories
My normal life is never boring
It’s either recording or touring or kickin' it leisurely
These other rappers aren’t in the same league as me
They’re kinda dim I shine bright as a TV screen
Yeah I go hard but I do this shit easily
I tell the people I love everyday what they mean to me
Back in school they were mean to me, now they would die to be seen with me
Cause they think I’ve got it made
Now that I’m paid
Now that I’m paid everything’s changed
I walk in the bank, they know me by name
(Good afternoon, Mr. Moore)
All of these years I’ve been in the game
I’ve never been lame, but I’ve been broke
That shit had me ashamed
But everything’s changed, now that I’m paid
When I’m onstage they're chanting my name
(Moore, Moore, Moore, Moore, Moore)
All of these years I’ve been in the game
Everything’s changed but I feel the same
Even now that I’m paid
I’m pouring up drinks
I’m getting coochie that’s soft as some mink
I bought her ice, now her rings like a rink
That girl really got me like I'm in The Kinks (You really got me now)
She pulls down her pants, her panties say “Pink”
I beat the skins like I’m Travis from Blink
I am not rich but I’m on the brink
Successes bring stresses, think I need a shrink
Might need some therapy
I hit the scene and they stare at me
VVS vision, that’s clarity
I get these royalties
Give a percentage to charity
I got the juice like a cherry tree
Now I get treated like royalty
Gucci bag for all my toiletries
I’m at the Double Tree, sipping on bubbly
In the jacuzzi we’re cuddling
Put the mint in the Bacardi then muddle it
These rappers mumblin', I say it audibly
I just make rap the way I think it oughta be
I go as hard as a Coke addict’s arteries
Be like a beater and don’t even start with me
I got the heart and the testes to back it
You wanna test me this shit could get ratchet
I got some envelopes under my mattress
I got the hustle and you couldn’t match it
The beat I attack it, it’s how I obtain these gains
No effort to stunt on these lames
Watch City the gang
We made our name tagging up bridges and trains
Now we are well on the way to riches and fame
But we’d be the same either way
Sunny or rain, money won’t change me
I’m still the same
Now that I’m paid
Now that I’m paid everything’s changed
I walk in the bank, they know me by name
(Good afternoon, Mr. Moore)
All of these years I’ve been in the game
I’ve never been lame, but I’ve been broke
That shit had me ashamed
But everything’s changed, now that I’m paid
When I’m onstage they're chanting my name
(Moore, Moore, Moore, Moore, Moore)
All of these years I’ve been in the game.
Everything’s changed but I feel the same,
Even Now that I’m paid

Daydream

Dear God,
Thank you for this day
Thank you for my family
Thank you for my wife, my daughter, please keep them safe
Thank you for all the blessings you've bestowed upon us
Amen
My real life and daydreams became the same thing
Rap and make stacks but family's my main thing
Cheefin' with the gang, call it gangrene
As of late, I get paid just to say things
My real life and daydreams became the same thing
My real life daydream
I get payments for my passion
Wear my own and homies' fashion
Good punani and I’m smashing
Got good kids and they're not bastards
Cuttin' dairy from my diet
Finally clearing out my sinuses
Give my brain to science when I die, no other mind like this
And theres nobody else like you
Keep it real, speak your truth
Work to get away from negativity that’s seeping through
I don’t wanna preach to you
I just wanna teach you to be happy cause I learned it from a book and you could read it to
“Addicted to Unhappiness”, encourage you to check it out
Taught me that the key to killing misery is in myself
They’ll chew you up and spit you out and teach you that you ain’t shit
You just keep on shining like your signal when you lane switch
Music is a language, I learned to speak it fluently
You might just’ve heard of me but none of this is new to me
Jewelry and cars are dope but not as cool whats at home
If you feel different wanna tell you that you're not alone
MMy real life and daydreams became the same thing
Rap and make stacks but family's my main thing
Cheefin' with the gang, call it gangrene
As of late, I get paid just to say things
My real life and daydreams became the same thing
My real life daydream
My wife and I just had our anniversary
Our babies out of diapers now and we don’t need a nursery
Artists want a verse from me who used to never notice me
I remember blunts of the mids, now its potent tree
I remember WIC, didn’t have enough for groceries
Now i do it big, get hibachi and I overeat
Long before she ever pushed our daughters from her ovaries
We were eating eggs everyday, my car would overheat
Problems came around I didn’t have enough to make it change
Now I got enough to invest in the stock exchange
As you can see a lot has changed
Things been going different since I got a name
My real life and daydreams became the same thing
My real life and daydream
