RENT

Ladies and Gentlemen
I was raised where the devil went
pain and this suffering
People had enough of rent
born in the ghetto
feeling never letting go
God u never met before
Another round on the merry go
Thisminority Verse:
Timmy is the epitome of streets remedies flooding the whole vicinity feeding the false identities
Damn
Like who is me a lamb or the keep
A man or bo peep
the King or a sheep
Turned wolf that would reap
And sow on repeat
Cuzza bad history
Before he could breathe
He might just drown tho
Should go out and help em but my pain giving me choke hold
Neva leave home epidemic was systemic my pandemic quarantinin from the fiends and academics automatics spitin like they politicin
Learned at seven all is opposition
What the fuck is my mission
What the fucks the condition
hook:
Ladies and Gentlemen
I was raised where the devil went
pain and this suffering
People had enough of rent
born in the ghetto
feeling never letting go
God u never met before
Another round on the merry go
Ohene Verse:
Step on a crack
Break your mother's back
Cause she cracked out
In the four walls of the trap
Don't be the first to go to college
But the last to use the Map
Don't be the first to tweet the link
But the last to check the facts
Revolutionary Ratchet
Tatted on my back
Harlem River Yacht Club
Say it on the tracks
Person people places evil
They will love you
Then they leave you
Minnesota
War is Over
Corner filled with glass and needles
911 then the Black out
Pandemic now we back out
Projects had lead
I was getting bread
And the people didn't back down
Hook:
Ladies and Gentlemen
I was raised where the devil went
pain and this suffering
People had enough of rent
born in the ghetto
feeling never letting go
God u never met before

OHENE VERSES:
Black people
Black power
What the people need
I'm a dog on the top
Like a peakanese
Shed a light on my blood
And my pickanies
Root for everybody black
Or don't speak to me
Fubu Bevel
Crack was created
By the Blue Eyed Devil
Static cling at the fact
FBI still a thing
And they confessed to the Panthers
And a king
There's a light
And it shines
Between the blinds
see my words
If you blind in your mind
Be kind and rewind
Black power
It's colored people's time
Black people
Black power
What the people need
I'm a dog on the top
Like a peakanese
Shed a light on my blood
And my pickanies
Root for everybody black
Or don't speak to me
In this country fam we hurt
Dont teach us Stem
But used for Stem sell research
Arrested us for Weed merch
Legalized it then they opened up a Weedverse
Top labels sell us death
Die from they bullets
With they liquor on our breath
High blood pressure from the food that was left
We started school lunches
Then they killed, u know the rest
Black people
Black power
What the people need
I'm a dog on the top
Like a peakanese
Shed a light on my blood
And my pickanies
Root for everybody black
Or don't speak to me
They called us crabs in the bucket
Gave us Coke Baking Soda
Almost life if we cut it
We were living underneath fascists
Limited Representation for
Max taxes
I don't want my money going to guns
I want my money going to books
But they crooks
Black dollar circulate one time
So yall only want Drake hooks
But Hene Cooks

FREE TOGETHER

|

I am a girl
I need a boy that is into me
We'll see the world
This love have honor and empathy
Like a tree We'll grow
We won't control the sun but bathe in it
And the seeds We'll sow
He'll long his hair and I'll lay in it
Are we Free [3x]
Are we free together
Verse 2
I'm more than a girl
I need a boy who can see me clear
Like diamonds and pearls
He'll see my worth
So I'll keep him near
Like some music notes
We'll play the tune that only lovers know
Like the sun we'll glow
And I'll day I love you
At another show
Are we Free [3x]
Are we free together

I'm a live forever so
Who's Better
Who's Better than Me
U gotchur lil man after I left
Gone til November like I'm Wyclef
Nighas on the corner wait for my death
I flex on my muscle like a tricep
She wait with some baited and some bi breath
She pass without looking like she Magic
She ask if I'm there now, not yet
I brought back some dibi and some Moffat
Ballin in the summer time
Waiting on the numba line
She asks who's the king of new york
Hmph
I ain't the king of New York
I travel everywhere and just bring up New York
I'm a live forever so
Who's Better
Who's Better than Me
You could call me doctor papa
Heart might rob ya
No vader not ya father
Na who hand I gotta cut off to get to ya mama
When I GET big no star wars don't worry bout drama whoa
Na come and tell me what you into
That sound backwards just tryna see how ya brain move
That sound active I don't rush this shit I hang loose
Like a laxtive let me give you a lil preview
Whew
Take the life we livin switch it flip it entergalactic pivot tell sister mother brobro daddy bye
Taste up here exquisite and so basic cuz it's ritualistic a base head would envy this type of high
Earth our basement will we visit New Orleans alright
See the flavors that inspired ya man to fly
Not the king of the city a king in the city i sucked her titty na you get the gumbo type of life
Harlem river
I'm a live forever so
Who's Better
Who's Better than Me

ohene verse:
Great white hope
From the greatest black tragedies
black hand slighted back magically
They either laugh at me
Or mad at me
They either doubting me
Or gassing Me
I was the first to get a beeper
And a cellular phone
U was the first spurn Yé
But forgave Jerry Jones
I'm rooting for everybody black
From the Mosque and the Frats
I got everybody back
Power our planet
My souls equipped
Black God Pantheon
Black land ownership
Harlem is the place I was born
River is the flow that I'm on
Yacht cause it's different than the slave ship
Club We together on the same shit
Yoga's free practice
stretch the money the alike
Today's Mantra
Loving my life
hook:
Breathe my nigga breathe
Cus what do we do this for?
Make sure it’s intentional Wooah
The truth will set you free
My nigga free
The heart that’s been put on hold
Hoping the wind will open will let go
Won’t hold in
ohene verse:
Repetition and prayer
To get rid of the n word
But of course u hear the chorus
Need to speak with my mentor
This for the bonnets and the bandanas
This for the Jacksons and the Santanas
Never did it for money
But maybe I should
Actually I shan't
Would've been if I could
I'm Old English mix with Ol English
We been criminalized
By our music and our own demons
Gentrification came
We was killing our brother
Willie Lynch in full effect
We still Killin each other
Made a Diddy about Love
Then took Puff
Considered the tune Notorious
When Big wasn't enough
I'm from Harlem
We marry billionaires and u seen this
Rap is an oversimplification of our own genius
Mirror show me the image of my own cleaness
And let me where the crowns with all my old negus
hook:
Breathe my nigga breathe
Cus what do we do this for?
Make sure it’s intentional Wooah
The truth will set you free
My nigga free
The heart that’s been put on hold
Hoping the wind will open will let go
Won’t hold in
outro:
Enter my maze
And find your escape
By breathing it innnnnn
People go then they appear
I’m never gone
Now just breathe me in
(Uh-oh) (uh-oh)
Dance to it they can’t hear ya
Just breathe

Phil Verse:
. Sweat pants my beef and broccoli dunks on
. Brown beanie to match I got a sack I'm just
California Dreamin' and rollin something to puff on
. Executing these plans completing tasks probably
Outta town somewhere leafy hitting the gas
. Tap the bowl when it's cashed out continue hiking
. Contemplating my next moves while out biking
. Stay in my lane continue give em game as I
Learn it, for all those who twist up and burn it
Cash? Earned it got it direct deposit tried to hold it
. End up bussing a check on the necessities
. Plane tickets, trains and staying lifted
Show up for yourself the same as your 9-5
. Something I struggle with, ask myself why?
. No matter just get up off yo ass make it happen
. It's simple as that...
Hook:
Everywhere we go
Out here on the road
We well connected x2
Everywhere we go
Out here on the road

Welcome to the tour!
James Verse:
I got this artist that I really believe in // sincerely
So much so // I brought the floor to the ceiling
Best foot forward? No I’m both feet in
10 toes // hands on // 4th down
I suppose I should go for it
Same clothes as an everyday hustler
When he blow just know // I move in uniform
Made it through the storm without a lucky charm
Jumped off the cliff // build my wings
on the way down // solid ground
Surrounded by a sound where I could
raise the frequency so high that
I could bounce ideas off of crowns
Think I’m deep? I prefer the profound
Different zones // mane
that’s just the type of time I’m on
Lifting weights to strengthen my patience
It’s time to weigh… the measure of man
I know I’m worth the wait (weight)
I’m the oak in the acorn
I’m playing the long game
There’s wisdom in the shades of grey
I’m the first born
OHENE Verse:
I'm Rod stricklen
Mixed with Scott pippin
Eric sermon
No generic version
Trail blazer
Globe trotter
Heart colder
Flow hotter
Go getter
To O got em
Call me Magic
How I finger roll
Give and go
The silicone
Tour Milan
Then Home alone
Lick a shot
For a sicker mode
Trade a slim
For a thicker jawn
King a pawn
On a meteor
Harlem River Yacht Club
Got the kinda pop up
U never seen before
When the water wasn't running
I kept it 100
stove wasn't workin
I kept the work bubblin
people weren't lookin
I kept with the money
Fresh with the buttons
Step into sumin
I got 9v and Ev
No gas burn ET
From Leafly
Revolve around the night
Better hope u hear the click
Like when u pressing on the website
Welcome to the tour
And the limelight
