Game Tight

Working on my skill set 
I gotta keep my game tight
Sleeping on that couch
Made a million in the same night

Don't got it liquid 
But what I'm worth I can't believe it
7 figures for a piece
My niggaz wanna break it even

Hussle like a 6th man, but get paid with the owners 
Balled through Corona 
Served dope to the stoners

Spanish in my vocab
No speaka, understand it though
Fresh line up
Straight backs like Deangelo

Money on my mind
Paper cuts when she braids me up
Sometimes I'm going crazy
Amazing what's in my cranium

Run a mile every morning
I got a meeting at 8
Got a pound in the corner
Reggae in the bass
Sign a deal on my phone
Another 10 on the way
Because it's just another day in the life of the Mac Reg

Gotta keep my game tight
Reflection of my OGs
Everybody sees me
Even Stevie in his Oakley's 

It's all about long term
It's all about production
No fronting
I'm on my bunions 
Money climb like it's Runyon
Eye to eye with Andre Drummond

It's all about long term
It's all about production

Por Vida

Por vida por vida por vida
Most of the time when people say those words they're exaggerating 
Te amo te amo te amo
Those words are often followed by a lack of demonstration

First thing's first
I love you for you
Not just the thought of you

Everyone is easy to love on their good days
But what about the days life doesn't seem to cooperate?

The days we have attitudes
Slip up and be rude
The days our emotions run high and let our insecurities thrive
The days we take for granted on this beautiful planet

From me to you,

TE AMO TE AMO TE AMO
POR VIDA POR VIDA POR VIDA

O'Canada

O'Canada how I love you so
Our love is like the kind we see in the movies
Lock eyes with your soulmate from across the room and know it's forever
Peeling back the layers, falling for you more and more
Who would've ever thought we liked the same music
From Dr Dre to Brand New 
The coincidence makes me hesitant, because this is too good to be true 
I believe you, but my Tommy Gun doesn't
Your actions start to back your words as you roll the finest spliff
Sip wine on the top floor
Room service knocking at my door
Face to face, we're eye to eye with the stars
Shut off the lights and count the cars
Staring down at the city like kings and queens
I'm living one of my dreams
The best part about us is we're starting fresh, so we never had to lie to each other 
You were cautious to let me cross the border and I was eager to get back home
Laying in my bed, watching you shower through the bathroom window
You dry off and teach me about your culture
Like how you say totes instead of beanies
You taught me about the East Vancouver drug epidemic 
You showed how my mean mug was a sign of weakness and how your kindness was pure strength 
How it was ok to slow down at a yellow light and not speed to my destination
That gravy and cheese over french fries taste just as good as it sounds
The BC Buds get me higher than my hotel room
I can see my whole world from here
Your fingernails trace my tattoos and ask me the meaning 
You grin and roll your tongue across your teeth as I lay out the facts with a palm full of ass
I told you it feels like a movie scene 
Let's not break character

Persian Rugs

The last 2 days, I've been slurping Thai noodles on the top of the world
The air is thin up here
My lungs require 2 puffs from an inhaler

Sweet Persian voices massage my eardrums like violin strings
Deep fantasies override my self inflicted curses
No time for my thoughts to run wild
My brain is too busy calculating the outcome of every decision
In a world where 1+1=x, Mr Improve could be one of the X-Men

The unpredictable calmness of my mind could pass for a jaguar 
I'm almost sure of the results

Deep rooted explosions fill the room with my future
Hot lava is the only sign of my excitement 
The rest is hidden behind my black mask
Buried in my gut
Near my heart and a sign that reads "Do Not Touch"

Hot showers wash off the stench of yesterday 
Takes deep cleaning
Like scrubbing sneakers with a tooth brush
Low whispers to the Heavens
In the back of my mind wondering if I'm wasting my time

In my second year of the school of Kwame Battuta
My GPA is slowly rising
I'm a fast learner but these equations have troubled the Einsteins of the world to their death beds

Catching life's rhythm
A snake charmer at my core
One false move could be more lethal than the bite of a black mamba

Only the City of Angels could produce these types of ecstasies on the third day of the week
This is also the only place that creates so much excitement from ones own destruction
Like cheering on a gladiator in the Colosseum

Life

Everybody's preaching but nobody's practicing
They used to march
Now all they do is drink the activist

I learned a lot from Jmac
And the Arabs
Unconventional thoughts under my wave cap
I'll be right back
Mr ski mask

Never took what I felt like I didn't deserve
I never shook when life hit me and it hurt
Carry myself like a champion
All praise when I ball play
Lived Skyblue even when it was all grey
No matter what they all say

I keep it pushing like my girl in Oakland
And her baby stroller
Gang of soldiers
Call of Duty until this game is over

This sweet game of life
As my uncle Lee would say
Protected by the Lord
That's my green beret

Take a look in the mirror and hit 100 push ups
Wake up in the morning
Think of me when you look up
Open your blinds
I'm immediately on your mind

Skyblue

Influence

My influence goes beyond measurement 
Heaven sent, but don't you dare forget
Brand New
As fresh as a peppermint
Day 1 bredrens never stressed 
Dressed in black lettermen's
Blend in like the veterans

Camouflage with the man of God
Stand in owe of the plan of ours
Hand of scars tells a story I never could
Table full of powder looking whiter than peckerwoods
It's all good

Everything's legal now
Skyblue
Not a single cloud
Mission to our goals 
We're taking the scenic route

Survival of the fittest
Death comes closer than inches
And not to mention
Karma always gets its vengeance 

Even the Japanese represent the gang proper
They went from peace signs to throwing up the Shaka
My idols take advantage of their brands now
But I don't want credit
Keep it on the low like my foot fetish

My influence goes beyond measurement 
Got them dressed in all blue like they're reppin' Crip
This is for my father
Created my own world
Neighborhood 
I'm Mr Rogers

New Year, New Me

This is my first writing of the new year
New goals and new fears
I'm going to try and be more consistent 
So all I ask is that you listen

In Vancouver, reflecting on my message
Life gets hectic, but Skyblue is the essence
Free promo when they rock my logo
Now the troubled child brings 100 smiles

My t-shirts give me life from the dirt
My feet hurt from many nights of this work
When you see someone wearing Skyblue,
you know they're just like you

When you lock eyes, it's all blue skies
The success seems over night, 
but don't forget those Hot August Nights 
Don't forget those problems when you cried
Don't forget when the only option felt like
you had to die

If you're living with no purpose, 
your breath ain't even worth it
If your living ain't urgent, 
you might as well close the curtains

This is for legacy,
not Hennessy 
This is for the letter 'G' 
when they remember me
