It's like magic when the flow it tend to do that
Pick apart and dissect it but where ya crew at
Never to thought that they fought but then they blew that
It's bigger to taught but that thought you see they knew that
It's public housing racist police to slay your crew black
(Flipside)
Somebody browsing copping a lease that cash they blew that
Somebody daughter graduate from college knowledge way spent
(Flipside)
Somebody daughter stripping in a club she need to pay rent
Somebody son just wrote a sentence now he bought to slay rhymes
(Flipside)
Somebody son just caught a sentence now he bought to do time
Somebody smoke and drink that liquor daily taking chances
(Flipside)
Somebody never smoked a cigarette still died from cancer
Problem in society sobriety's a must
It ain't no I in me no trying me the iron be to thrust
Don't get if twisted I'm gifted the best you never seen

Somebody miss his mother since she passed it's like a slaughter

Somebody saving for them but injections hope to spend now

Somebody got a gun and now he feel that he gon change changes

Blue Nostalgia
[Verse 1: K. Sparks]
Just let it breathe
Beautiful if you ask me tend to analyze
That's a part of my thoughts that I don't glamorize
If Jay Z and Beyoncé got that lemonade
Then me and you was a better grade Minute Maid
I'm from a place where they controlling that reefa growing to teach ya
Lyrically he colder than Keisha good lord
And y'all ain't half as nice
Blogging is dead let's enjoy the After life
Like a weapon see me reppin y'all could get wit
Like old school Martin get the stepping, fit bit
That's a side bar, what y'all rhyme for
Why religion stay diving my people
It's no peace just forever war simile's are better or life is like a metaphor
[Hook: Stephanie Heaghney]
Doing it for you for you for you baby
My highs my lows my eyes are closed I feel I know
[Verse 2: K. Sparks]
Just let it breathe
Lost my mother and brother felt like the same year
I'm pinching myself like why I'm still here
Am I still here, am I still here
[Bridge: Stephanie Heaghne]
I'm just so full of stress I'm just tryna feel blessed
I'm just tryna feel the opposite I'm tryna make it I'm tryna make it
I'm sick of the hurt my smiles into frowns that's my fault
Like the beat just had a break down
I'm sick of young gangs that stay with the pump, they saying dumb things
Like ten Donald Trumps
See I, been bottled bad happens to good people
Alotta poverty homie listen but that's the sequel
That's a side bar, what y'all rhyme for
Why religion stay diving my people
It's no peace just forever war simile's are better or life is like a metaphor
[Hook: Stephanie Heaghney]
Doing it for you for you for you baby
My highs my lows my eyes are closed I feel I know

Pen Griffey
[Intro: Kingston]
[Verse 1: K. Sparks]
They call me crazy baby shady want that old sparks
I ride the beat precision rhythm like them old narcs
Got the Curley Afro nowadays I use to have the Caesar
I eat some pizza with Liza then charge it to her visa
Now who the hell is Liza? Word to that Mona Lisa
I'm picture perfect sicker verdict know ya heard it homie
Now can you tell me though what happened to community
It ain't no more them Queen Latifah's thought that's preaching unity
It's so profound, sipping liquors they be on that Johnny walker
Now slow it down, off them liquors they put Johnny in a walker
Humble's the new cocky papi sloppy with them seconds though
Wavy with the Caesar either ether spit if let it go
[Interlude: Kingston]
[Verse 2: K. Sparks]
Bigger the flow though, that be a no no, to kick it to po po
Moving in slow mo, jump like a pogo, but so so
What you feel see it's irrelevant to people I just
Stay with that steel see verbally I'm magneto we know
See everybody bout to tell you I'm cold dude
Disrespect you like them prices at whole-foods
Lyrically offend them blend them when u end them
Cuz K. Sparks stay in the hood just like engines
They blocks be crazy that's word to they fat momma
Shots don't graze me miss shells like Obama
[Interlude: Kingston]
[Verse 3: K. Sparks]
But then again they specialize in them gun wounds
Star Wars homie watch me lamp on them sun dunes
So what's the verdict I ain't perfect but I try to be
See life ain't perfect little homie listen but ya style could be
Lyrically they has bees you sure your name ain't Jasmine
Cuz all y'all do is talk that jazz to alotta men
Lyrically they has bees you sure your name ain't Jasmine
Cuz all y'all do is talk that jazz to alotta men

Strip 4 Me
[Hook: Snoh Ramos]
Like a bird feeling free in the sky where I be oh me
Never seen never heard every word every verb to me
Like a bird feeling free in the sky where I be oh me
Never seen never heard every word every verb to me
Cuz you feel my vibe you come inside
nowhere to hide it's all of me
Cuz you feel my vibe you come inside
nowhere to hide it's all of me
Strip for me, strip for me, strip for me, but keep your clothes on
[Verse 1: K. Sparks]
I don't wanna die and I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna live and ain't got much to give since my momma died
See verbally it's homicide, I kill these rappers
Truth be told I ain't never feeling these rappers I just
Got alotta anger issues in me it's a part of me
To strap grenades up to my chest you see the heart in me
That's my defense mechanism build these fences around me
To build me up when all these critics and cynics would down me
These phony friendships always take in a well in it drown me
It's so profound b if you Fake why the hell you around me
Y'all hide y'all imperfections, I wear my garbage gladly
It never get better but still I be doing it just so that you understand me
Just wipe your feet up at the door before you step in my house
Keep talking wreck-less ill address this you get punched in the mouth
See Hip-Hop had some clever grammar then it turned to slander
That elephant up in the room it turned into. Panda
Oh the irony the eye in me just light this cig
My momma death it made me realize that I need to live
[Hook: Snoh Ramos]
Like a bird feeling free in the sky where I be oh me
Never seen never heard every word every verb to me
Like a bird feeling free in the sky where I be oh me
Never seen never heard every word every verb to me
Cuz you feel my vibe you come inside
nowhere to hide it's all of me
Cuz you feel my vibe you come inside
nowhere to hide it's all of me
Strip for me, strip for me, strip for me, but keep your clothes on

Bema dreamer see in Jr High we use to push bricks

See we about to get reacquainted let's go money

Banging to the boogie the boogie gets so high
Banging to the boogie the boogie gets so fly
Banging to the boogie the boogie gets so high
Banging to the boogie the boogie gets so fly
[Verse 2: K. Sparks]
Now I know I said I had to hit the bank and make a deposit
But the truth is I tied up them tellers they in the closet
Feeling ruthless they toothless duck tape and grab the ropes
Put that ski mask on and we ain't hitting slopes
Now what's the word or be the price I don't need dirt up in my life
You just just another loser shoulda put the ruger to you twice man
You like a nagging chick cuz you complain a lot
Who taught you how to aim a shot and even cop a chain in hot
I'm hot son quick to pop one put the bullet in the chamber
But ya lose son when chose one to always live in danger man
We'll have it your way do it the hard way that's your fate
I rule your spirit now in the physical too late
[Interlude: K. Sparks]
As the sky falls and the wind calls
Flesh of my flesh in these bloody halls
Thoughts and fears of our formative years
The Home E, which stands for evil is here
Chase material gold or save your souls the choice is yours
Chase material gold or save your souls the choice is yours
[Hook: K. Sparks]
What I want
What I want What I want
Cuz I need your love
Cuz I need your love baby baby
What I want
What I want What I want
Cuz I need your love
Cuz I need your love baby baby

Urban Couture
[Verse 1: K. Sparks]
They saying greatness about me that be my aura
These labels tryna jerk me like Urkel dreaming of Laura
Got a, shoot first mentality homie I be the scorer
Your girl like bottle service in clubs she living poorer get it
Im free-styling he wilding the styles hitting
Yet everything that he's spitting is better than they written's
Reminiscing and drifting spitting to blend awesome
Just cuz you black don't mean you for the people Ben Carson
I act different react with it Black Civic
I'm the man y'all just tryna be the man y'all Da Brat with it
I bought a new house homie you see it's fly vary
So many different stories in it that's the library
Hello devil this yellow bezel is legendary
These demons screaming they see me gleaming that's secondary
They wanting tickets to my shows it's getting harder true
Now watch em sell out quicker homie than them rappers do
[Hook: Kate Stone]
[Verse 2: K. Sparks]
She be my motivation daily never aimless to see me
Stay consistent with the flow now we lamp like a genie
I mean the purpose of my verses on this record like it's analogue
Did it for the chicks like James Todd Smith catalogue
Ain't even a dime or just a nine so they hate
And so I tell em like I'm pissing shorty see urinate
That's never gon compare, clever when I stare
Cheddars never rare, I get the pepper jack forever stack clever cat
Smoothest individual shorty you see it's evident
And anythings possible baby girl look at the president
I'm saying she praying relaying like she flip a pack or two
Let's ride the wheels until they fall off just like these rappers do
My slang different the game different remain different
I'm Pen Griffey with this pen and this paper
The style be legendary never shady slap a hater first
Just be my secretary on the daily move the paper first
I move on em then snooze on em baby wake em up
Finest cigars under the stars we be waking up we lampin
I said we lampin
[Hook: Kate Stone]
[Verse 3: K. Sparks]
On any given Sunday, don't care what son say
Thirty eight up in my pocket dressed to kill on that runway
This new game these rappers compromising to ball
My new name bad table service I don't cater at all
Alotta chicks wanna be married asked my KD what it bring
Sometimes you gotta switch up teams just to get the ring
Confidence is silent and arrogance is so loud
You can't defeat the demons that you playing with and so now
I flow now with pronouns I'm grown now behind the tints
I graduated my masters all up in common sense
It's like a symphony lonely to read the book breezy
It's all simplicity homie I make this look easy
It's like simplicity homie I make this look easy
It's like a symphony lonely to read the book breezy

Greatness is Complicated
[Verse 1: K. Sparks]
So it seems
This be the city for of broken dreams
Gotta be this inner city full of sodomy
A prodigy that must been born up into poverty
His papa in the air force momma was a school teacher
His older brother was focused became a preacher
Styles never missed he's disgraced and couldn't wait
Smiles don't exist cuz this place is full of hate
Went to High School he congregated with the livest survive this
Tommy Hilfiger he rocked the visors the sinus
Pressure be building up on his mind just
Tryna find a way out the ghetto so come and find us
A white flag he be waiving up in submission with a white jag
He envisioned that he'd be given if he might grab
A platinum plaque if he disinigrate
This microphone so he invested in a demo tape
[Hook: K. Sparks]
Feel the pressure its building up on me
None the lesser I'm focused you gone see
Feel the pressure its building up on me
None the lesser I'm focused you gone see
[Verse 2: K. Sparks]
Now as years passed lyrically he nice on the mic he spit it vicious
Surpassing black cats all around him you superstitious
Them showcases quick to offend you he sold the tickets
No A&R's up in the venue he heard the crickets
Pray to God to vanish from the madness
Opposite of lavish roaches up in the cabinet's
His momma sick he just held her to hold on her
It's a cold order he resorting to no sauna
Cuz everybody wanna be famous so shamelss
Got him going through and it's dangerous so aimless
Once upon he was was nameless so painless
Nowadays they know what the name is type famous
Honestly he yearn for the days he was fame-less
Changes he going through'll leave you brainless
The pressure building up he need a change or sequel
See people can change but people can't change people
[Hook: K. Sparks]
Feel the pressure its building up on me
None the lesser I'm focused you gone see
Feel the pressure its building up on me
None the lesser I'm focused you gone see
[Verse 3: K. Sparks]
I'm barely home peeping this zone to grow salary
Fairly show just leave him alone to slow gradually
Vocal tones grown and shown theres no casualty
Skies the limit admit it theres no gravity
My daughter staring out the window so mad at me
It's hard for her to get the picture here the gallery
The game changer livest writer the pride biter
With the same anger shine brighter divine lighter
Quick deranged singer same banger blind a fighter when I write her
Lighter tighter brighter fighter brighter and I write her
It's the same music chain fluid deranged to it
Put the pain through it shame to it you can't do it
I'm formulating this plan to be the man and saying oh God
Each line no peace sign times are so hard
And then my mother died of cancer rewind
And then my brother died too so for them I'm a shine
[Hook: K. Sparks]
Feel the pressure its building up on me
None the lesser I'm focused you gone see
Feel the pressure its building up on me
None the lesser I'm focused you gone see

Talking bout the time we can cruise the town

She marry marry going round round turning mean
Now listen baby calm it down don't make a scene
