This is the O.P.P.
My whole life I've been looking for the go ahead
I play my music and people tend to nod they head
Industry people say I sound so different
Some scared used to the memorex
But I ain't down with clones and copies
Jumping on the swagger wagon man that is not me
I'm dodging the duplicates they riding in the minivan
They gone try to jock me after my first million
I got a mission and a vision and a strategic plan
That's why they call me Entelleckt when I rap,
It's a wrap when you got me and Myka producing tracks
Three things I carry when I see an A&R
Headphones, neck brace, CD or iPod,
almost get whiplash they bob so hard,
but the nods haven't yet led to dollars problem
looking for my big break to stardom, so
[Chorus]
Give me that light, light, light, light,
light, light, light, light, light, light,
light, light, light, light, light, light
You shine so bright (bright)
bright, (bright), bright, (bright), bright,
Give me that light, light, light, light,
light, light, light, light, light, light,
light, light, light, light, light, light
Girl you're bad (and you know it)
Oh so bad
And you know it babe
This whole time has been leading to the come up
Try to J. Cole but forgo the warm up,
i'm cooking on the stove burning hotter than the summer
Start a revolution bringing music to the forefront
Plies is Wendy's, Soulja Boy is Mickey D's that makes me a soul food restaurant
If that ain't fast food for thought then ignore the metaphor and enjoy the beat
Give me that light let the people see
I'm tryna Swiss Beatz and Alicia Keys
Do you know what that means?
Love and music. I love this music. I want this music for life.
Prove the doubters wrong and prove myself right.
Got my goals in my mind's eyesight.
And once I achieve and get that light,
I might think like
[Bridge]
Where do we go now? (Where do we go?)
Where do we go from here? (Following my passion)
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
I'm gonna take it to the next level
I mean start an epidemic
Paradigm shift when I hit em with the syckness
Haters upset but the fans uplifted
No longer on deck man I'm grand slam hitting
I might make ten grand from a sentence
Gain enough industry recognition to sit in on a panel at the South by Southwest convention
holding my Grammy plaque
Sipping on Skittles what you know bout that
Studio look like a NASA branch
BMI cash coming fast, I'm all over the Billboard list
Urban, pop, alternative, rock, no matter the genre I make good music,
By the way shout out to eRich, shout out to Rodrick, shout out to Jon Hicks
chorus
[under chorus]
shout out D. Christian, shout out to Rob Hen, shout out to Triple B
shout out to nRich, shout out to PT, shout out to LG,
shout out BMF, shout out Chuck,
shout out Nielson, shout out Ojo, the whole Elemental KC crew,
Shout out Bryan Lewis, shout out LD,
Shout out everybody

Passion

I found out what I'm put here for,
I found out what I'm made to do,
Discovered why I can't ignore,
The feeling in my heart no more
I found out why I'm always thinking,
Thinking about that one thing,
I found out why I'm always dreaming,
When I should be doing other things,
Thinking bout it helps to get me through the days,
Dreaming bout it helps to get me through the nights,
Working on it to advance everyday,
Closer, closer, closer, closer,
I see it when I close my eyes,
I feel it nearly in my hands,
Inhale it with every breath,
I hear it calling,
I hear it calling out to me,
And I know I got an answer for it,
God's gift to me,
You can say I have a talent for it,
And I have so much passion for it,
I thank the Lord for it all the time,
Without him I know I'm nothing, everything in line with his design,
Gotta keep this tunnel vision,
Stay focused I'm a man on a mission,
One goal in this life I'm living,
It's the gas that keeps me driven,
When I claim the pole position,
After that the world's my stage,
Until then I'll keep on striving,
Every day to say,
(Chorus)
I'm headed to the top and hey,
They'll be no stopping me,
My goal is all that I can see
And if I gotta run, and if I gotta fight, and if I gotta climb,
I won't slow down, I won't fall down, I won't come down, I won't slow down,
I won't fall down, I won't come down, I won't slow down, down
I can recall days when,
I thought I had nothing left,
But by day's end,
I lived through the pain and then,
I lived on to tell the story,
The story that I tell today,
The story that we all share,
We all in the pursuit of happiness,
Thinking bout it helps to get me through the days,
Dreaming bout it helps to get me through the nights,
Working on it to advance everyday,
Closer, closer, closer, closer,
I can feel it in my chest, I can feel it in my heart,
You can hear it in my voice, spit my soul in every bar I speak,
In every single beat,
In every harmony and melody and every chord,
record passion,
Everything I'm working for,
Everything I'm working towards
It will all be mine one day,
It dominates my mind I see it on the horizon,
Think about it constantly and steady fantasizing,
Planning, plotting, steady analyzing,
Destiny I'm on my way,
Toiling, striving, breathing hard, I'm sweating for it, working for it,
And I will settle for nothing less,
Aim high, shoot for the sky,
And I know no matter what that it's worth it,
Even if I get it in my last breath,
And I'm not in this journey alone,
Friends came with me, Family with me, you came with me,
all together sing along,
(Chorus)
I'm headed to the top and hey,
They'll be no stopping me,
My goal is all that I can see
And if I gotta run, and if I gotta fight, and if I gotta climb,
I won't slow down, I won't fall down, I won't come down, I won't slow down,
I won't fall down, I won't come down, I won't slow down, down

[Verse 1 - Entelleckt]
Man I mastered this beat
And i mastered the flow
Gimme gimme 20 minutes
And ill come back with more heat
Get up out your seat
Turn the volume up
When you playing my cd
I can speed up or slow it down
Keep the bass thumping round the town
Jet Li woofers kicking hard man they beating the block down
Clown Homie play this entelleckt when I'm on the stage is my name making good music everyday everyday get better better man I'm steady learning as the tic toc time is passing
walk the path untrod
Man I wanna no im gonna follow my passion
YOLO you only live once one time to make it count
They say you gotta roll with the punches
Or else you'll get knocked out
I think I'm well endowed
I don't mean to sound conceited
And if your girl has doubts
I can make her a believer
I'm talking talent wise
Gutter minds see double meaning
Recognize the ingenius ingenuity
Of what you're hearing
Vision of my dream yes a vision of my dream
Soon i'll see it in reality
sometimes it seems
[Chorus]
Everybody asking me the same thing,
When you gone make it in the industry,
You better than the radio, you should be mainstream,
And every time I hear you man you coming with that heat
So I tell em that I'm
On My Way
[Verse 2 - eRich]
Hey e, I heard you quit your job,
Damn, dawg, you had it good,
Now you just another broke rapper in the neighborhood (I sing too),
It's so many cats here makin' music for the masses,
You should go back to school,
Why don't you take some classes?
Well, because I wouldn't pass em,
My head is in the sky,
I decided I'm a fly, or die, oh why,
Is it so hard for you to try,
I know you see people passin',
I'm tired of people askin',
Did you save your money? (no),
Do you got a deal? (no),
You gone change your mind? (no),
Well, boy, just keep it real (well, alright),
Now I'm following my passion,
Got tired of wearin' polos,
I did this thang for YOLO,
I'm the captain of my soul,
Inviktus in my brain,
I promised Momma I won't be a victim to the chain,
Make the world know my name,
Put my girl on a private plane,
I gotta prove to people on my team I am not insane,
When I break into the game
Then they'll finally see
Gimmie gimmie 2 years
And I'll come back with grammy's
2 maybe 3
Marathon running
Stay a constant nominee
Industry leader
Yeah that's me
Boi-1da, No ID,
When I break up out minors see how major I will be?
Veni, vidi, vici
I'm all the over the tv, I'm all over the movies, I'm all over your cd and iPod whether u recognize or not. I'm producing every genre even country, out the country worldwide,
They gone be like who this kid
Who came in overnight
Whatcha mean by overnight
I'm been looking for this moment my whole life
Won't have my dream deferred
Potential infinite
What good is limitless potential without realizing it
I'm trying to harness it
My passion turned riches
Put my love to your ears
Let it enrich your spirit
I fight daily for the opportunity to let hear it
Vision of my dream yes a vision of my dream
Soon

In pursuit of perfection and affection,

Freedom fighter, musician, engineer, producer/songwriter,

And then suddenly I have an epiphany if you and me are meant to be then I should honestly just tell you how I feel
I wanna say I love ya but I don't want ya to run the other way my dear

Give you all things that you deserve, every day like valentine's
You are the one i've been searching for the one most people never find
You are the one that i adore no one else catches my eye
You keep running through my mind keep running through my mind
[Chorus]
You're all in my head,
You're all in my head,
You're all in my bedroom fantasy,

Now you're all in my bed, bed
You pinch me and then ask if we're living in a dream world
Yes you are all in my head but i don't think that's how that works
Pinching leads to touching leads to leads to whatever you want,
Whatever you desire, whatever you like, you wanna do that alright,
You're excited, me too, ok let me go first,

Work, work,

Blow

gotta get up out of here
gotta get up out this place
this world is not my home
i'm from from another place
not not from outer space
never been one to acknowledge pain
cuts over prior scars
history repeating again and again
to expect different is insane
without change that's the definition
my dreams they come true
nightmares are a premonition
my brother's my competition
am able to cain him
or will he cain me
will i show him the taste of defeat
i'm a seasoned veteran meaning that the
the past has left me salty
i'll never lose again
all i think is win-win
gotta harness the rage within
weaponize my emnity
convert it to energy
embrace the inner me
i recognize my enemy, stop following in my footsteps stop with the mimicry
you'll never be better, you'll never be me, you'll always be short, the corrupted copy dolly
you're a sheep you're a clone, don't do me, just do your own,
or unleash this wrath this i hold
know what
[chorus]
I'm bout to blow,
just like a bomb, i'm bout to detonate,
5,4,3,2,1 gone blow,
my fuse is lit i'll blow,
no disarming i'll blow,
countdown to the end i'll blow,
tic-toc toc-tic, i'm a blow up,
i'm a blow, i'm a blow, i'm a blow up
i'm a blow, i'm a blow, time to blow up
i'm a blow, i'm a blow, i'm a blow up
What you thought that I didn't notice
Did you take my kindness for weakness
What you thought I was gonna let it go
Let it slide, no emotions no feelings
If so, then you got the wrong picture
Cause reality is far from that
Situation burning my insides
I'm at a fever pitch,
I can't hold it in much longer
Emotions starting to show
Eruption's imminent
I know i'm bout to blow,
Patience is running thin
Matter of fact it ran out
Thoughts of revenge are steady creeping in,
Gotta get even, or better,
Find myself scheming plotting there's no stopping this chain reaction
Time for some action, they gone be like what happened, pre-meditated crime of passion
He snapped, he lost it, if i did i can show you what caused it
calm down regain control, you got reputation to uphold
no, no consequence no change
ima sun tzu art of war chi cheng, never again never again,
clearly i confused your intent mistook you as a friend
so prepare to defend never mind i'm a catch you by surprise like you did me
i see my enemy, know my enemy, know that you ain't no kin to me

Breathe
04:23

Breathe in,
Breathe out,
Breathe in (in),
Breathe out,
Just breathe
I look around like am I really living this,
I need some oxygen, can't breathe,
I look around like is this really happening,
Now I'm just standing here in disbelief,
The room is spinning the nausea feeling is building,
My state of shock is clouding my vision, I'm struggling to see,
My sky's fallen, my world is crumbling, the earth is rumbling I'm broken down on one knee,
Spitting Psalm 118 "In my anguish,"
Is God with me, what am I saying,
My perception is lowered I'm stuck in a rut toiling to move forward,
They say in idle time, the devil will devour,
The seconds feel like minutes and the minutes feel like hours,
Gotta find a bootstrap internal power,
Know I gotta mount up this ain't no time to cower,
Know that I'm thoroughbred and my own jockey,
Gotta get my wind back can't let this moment stop me,
Gotta get my drive back self-motivation,
Know I gotta overcome or become nameless,
Make my own tomorrow, self-determination.
Fight to survive, self-preservation,
Time is frozen the seconds won't pass,
I'm asking myself can this moment last
[Chorus]
The moments pass,
They ebb and flow,
You breathe it out,
Inhale once more,
In hell once more,
You breathe it in,
You breathe it in, in,
The moments pass,
They ebb and flow,
You breathe it out,
Inhale once more,
In hell once more,
You breathe it in,
You breathe it in, in,
[Bridge]
Breathe in,
Breathe out,
Breathe in (in),
Breathe out,
Just breathe
Some moments in life man they take your breath away
All of those moments take you to your extremes
On those occasions when you asphyxiate
Half of them nightmares half of them lucid dreams
A fourth of them half come by surprise
An eigth of them deja vu former dreams realized,
Sixteenth of June, Bloomsday has arrived,
Thirty seconds till you can Kenny through Toni
Breathe again keep up, your head is hung look up,
Your time has not run out, but you're all shook up,
Its time to wake up, time to grab a cup of Folgers,
Its time to shape up, gotta regain composure,
You say this to yourself are you sure its not a load of
positivity, you're struggling to shape your thoughts,
caught up in hysteria due to the scenario,
why so serious, why why why so paranoid,
feeling delirious, brain won't let it go,
heart won't either, respiration seizure,
Time is frozen the seconds won't pass
You're asking yourself can this moment last any longer
[Chorus] x2
[Bridge] x2

i'm from everywhere and nowhere no city limits,
i can't even get homesick no home to visit,
or maybe everywhere's my home just worldly living,
or maybe i can't find a home in this world we live in,
one thing that i know for sure this music keeps me driven
a day without music for me is like living in prison
studio inside my cell that means i'm living large
i'm in that four by four cage sixteen bars
i do my time i go hard on every track every song
i bring life to the mic like phantom power
if i could i'd make music twenty-four hours, Jack Bauer
i'm a beast and these beats i devour,
not street i'm a nomad, a wayfarer,
i move like a military brat, i adapt
like the predator eleven steps ahead of ya,
searching for the welcome mat
they tell me home is where the heart is at
[chorus]
looking for a place to go
looking for a place to stay
i've gotta find
my way home
my way home
my way home
my way home
momma says her son is lost, try to make my father proud
i gotta find myself although barriers surround
i gotta overcome these internal walls of doubt
not to mention all the negative people around
bet that they'll be down when i do it when i make it
they'll be looking for a handout i'll give it and they'll take it,
but i'm homeless now can't forget this moment, this here and now,
test me to the core man i'm lower than rock bottom, i'm lower than the mantle,
looking to the sky like what more can i handle,
wrong thing this to ask if you ask it he will give it and i read the book of Job now my life is like a sample
failed too many classes and they took away financial aid
credit score so bad got turned down by Sallie Mae,
eviction notice on the door, i gotta leave where do i stay,
those apartments were overpriced anyway
(so i'm looking)
[chorus]
i gotta catch a break all i need is one chance
man i know that i'll advance
won't throw it away, won't put it waste
gotta take advantage i'm a do what it takes
to find myself a home and place to reside
i'm in survival mode you can see it in my eyes
that i'm sleep deprived i'm on my last leg
but that last leg is strong anchor
pass me the baton and i'll finish it thank you
reached out to my brothers and they put me on
my brothers man they held me down
should've gone to them along
tried to do it on my own struggled but i'm better now
Biggest thing in my way was pride
It goes before the fall and fear kills your mind
Money problems aside overcame and moved on
and then moved in at last i'm home
[chorus x2]

YOLO Promenade Interlude

YOLO Passion Movement,
Take a red pill and hop into it,
Come with me if your dreams you're pursuing,
We gone leave the Matrix in ruin,
Had to reload before the revolution,
I'm a problem yet a solution,
Pay no attention to the illusions,
Media mirages lead to confusion,
To continue with the Wachowski allusion,
I'm a ninja assassin, the shadow I bask in,
How ya doing man, thanks for asking,
But they don't really care about us Michael Jackson,
May he live on, Gotta take music back to its roots it inspires us to be strong,
And dream on, let's be strong,
Let's march on, let's march on
[Chorus]
We promenading,
We marching through,
YOLO Passion Movement on the loose,
Take your red pill you can come too,
Come too, come too,
We promenading,
We marching through,
YOLO Passion Movement on the loose,
Take your red pill you can come too,
Come too, come too,

I keep a lucid mind state man I'm never faded
I prefer to think clearly think clearly the liquor's overrated
Or maybe I'm just drinking all the wrong ish,
My tolerance is too high to live as they portray it
When I say they I mean mainstream media
Make a song with a message and they don't wanna see ya
And they don't wanna hear ya
And they don't wanna play ya
They try to make followers
I try to make leaders
Major labels buying souls
Artists sell they soul less than a million sold
Rappers living fake lives like they playing Fable
I'm here to entertain but not with the fan betrayal
This industry is steady moving backwards
360 deal you should call that label master
You say not a slave but you don't own your masters
I spit this so that you can shake the shackles (bow)
[chorus]
They try to give me all the fame and pay me little money
Now what's the price of keeping it 100
You know that this is
Real real, real
You know that this is
Real, real, real
Id rather that you give me all the money
And you can keep the fame
Me keeping it 100 will never change
You know that this is
I try to never sleep on opportunity.
When I stop searching for knowledge you should start writing my eulogy.
I cannot indulge in this ignorance my intellect is too high to like the tomfoolery
When I say tomfoolery I mean Plies
Algernod Washington the biggest coon alive
I'm thinking to myself man how did he signed,
How's he getting played, I respect his Grind
I don't respect his music, but i can see his acumen
Propagating ignorance through music that is sacrilege
If ever I sold Plies a beat
I'd tax him like tobacco charge a million dollar fee
This industry is steady moving backwards
Monkey see monkey do but I am not an Alpha
They try to make us slaves but I'll never call them master,
I spit this so that you can shake the shackles (bow)

[Chorus]
Lately, so sick of the same thing,
Every other day it seems,
Same thing, same thing, same thing,
There's more in store for me when I get to the other side,
Just gotta make it to the day through the night, (through the night)
To the day, (to the day)
Through the night (through the night)
To the day, (to the day)
Through the night (through the night)
To the day, (to the day)
Through the night (through the night)
Through tonight, (through tonight, night)
Last night when I laid my head,
Down to sleep to the lord I prayed,
I prayed for family, friends, my brothers, my sisters, potential lovers and past,
Enemies and foes,
That I could pass this class,
The knowledge to make my plans real,
I said amen, I closed my eyes anticipating the day,
I welcomed unconsciousness, it never came I stayed awake,
With my thoughts, man they racing through my head,
Ideas running on a track, had to get up out of bed, gotta get these thoughts on wax,
Ain't gonna waste my blessing everything to the good,
studio therapy help me relax, catharsis coming soon,
then I put my headphones on,
and let the stress subside,
the music flows over me through me feel it deep inside,
Music soothes the savage beast,
it says the things I cannot speak,
Emotions conveyed through piano keys,
Feel the bassline in soul,
The snare beats with my heart,
This is more than life, this is art
[Chorus]
Today when I woke up,
Midday I overslept,
I gotta get up rise out these sheets,
Throw these covers off of me and go,
Further than before, closer to the goal,
The knowledge to make my plans real,
I'm on my grind, I'm on my job anticipating the day,
I see little progress, success just seems so far away,
From my reach, but I know it's in my grasp,
I know one day I can touch it if I execute the plan,
Gotta take this music public,
Ain't gonna waste my blessing everything to the good,
live performance help me relax, catharsis coming soon,
then I hop up on the stage,
and let the stress subside,
the music flows over me through me feel it deep inside,
Music soothes the savage beast,
it says the things I cannot speak,
Emotions conveyed through piano keys,
Feel the bassline in soul,
The snare beats with my heart,
This is more than life, this is art
[Chorus]
