Intro (Anthony "PaperLondon" Vaughn):
Yeah sound so good already right?
From here on out I just want ya'll to sit back,
Relax and enjoy the ride
Now I know ya'll been a lot of places before but I promise ya'll ain't never been nowhere like this
From all around the world and back,
I just want to introduce to ya'll
A man of many shades,
With a style that lights up the room with the twinkle of his eyes
That stone-cold brother our elders once called Pat-Live
Now without further a due we bring to a tape-deck near you,
Peep game from a birds-eye view.
The Compilation.

Hook:
Honey dip, my lovely apricot, prefer to have you then to have not,
Sugar lump, my sweet butterscotch, prefer to have you than to have not,
And when all the birds flock you the queen of the crop, prefer to have you than to have not,
Honey dip my lovely apricot prefer to have you than to have not
Verse 1:
No hidden propaganda,
I used to be that scandal,
You know that nigga slaying chickens like he Kernel Sanders,
But you a different look, sorta’ like changing channels,
I dedicate this grammar just to show how much you matter,
Smile bright as sunshine,
Always on the best of manners,
Like that single flamed candle that be placed on grandmas mantle, got me fumbling and rumbling,
On and on as i ramble,
Time is, of all the essence,
With you, times always ample,
Leave me, craving for more,
Like a, sams club food sample,
You the apple of my eye,
but that ass, juicy like snapple,
Got me, insured like geico,
Gotta’ carry you wherever i go,
Our happiness success and longevity is all i hope for
That’s all I hope for,
yea that’s all I hope for and I’m so hopeful our happiness success and longevity is all I hope for
(Hook)
Verse 2:
Not to understand your worth is absurd, your love and care is some that is unheard, it deserve, something that is not fulfilled by a word, or these words if you are describing infinite worth, damn girl,
to think being with one, was such a thought aways,
Being trapped into your voice those sweet serenades,
A couple of explorations through Florida everglades,
Or the long-trips down the highway,
Interstate-95, fireworks 4th of July,
That twinkle in your eyes matched the lighting of skies,
Sorry butterfly to not want to compromise, so I had to put you off until I had the time,
But i realize, everything can’t be Cheerwine,
So in the near time,
We will have sincere time,
Cause I truly understand this woman’s work,
I mean I truly understand this woman’s worth.
(Hook)
Verse 3:
Woman you so eclectic
my melody from heaven
and I pray God’s blessings upon you without no interjections,
Apple of my my eye, paying the highest preference,
your ever presence is a present of God’s created pleasure,
And not to carry on with the spiritual tip,
just a-a compliment
to my-my honey-dip,
or my-my honeycomb,
anything sweet but sassy,
Float my lil’ butterfly sting like a bee
perfect mix of morality
adding more conscious to my reality, my crazy sexy cool, like that TLC
not for the casualty of common things,
of common wills, of common dreams,
more than a common queen who wants the common king,
like the finer things,
being of one, common frame
may we rise as one and greatness we both attain,
intertwined like vines we aged to fine wine,
and to think you wasn’t ripe for the time, how foolish was I.

Most Beautifullest
03:55
|

Verse1:
I remember sitting in my grandma’s kitchen,
My uncle saying nephew wont you come and listen
To the boom-box, filled with Run DMC
Wondering why he rapped these words so passionately,
I was a youngin',
Looking at Unc like he was buggin’,
Say “this real music here, sit down and learn something”
So I sat down and he said with a grin “It’s like that and that’s the way that it is”
As I started to listen a lil’ closer
I noticed my head nods and a rhythmic takeover,
From me beating on my knees, to the tapping of my feet
To the rhyming of the words, to the drums on the beat,
The shit was sweet.
Like something you look forward to see,
Or when your grandma grab the change when Ice cream Man on the street,
Playing that corny music, out runs the boys and girls
That’s when I knew that music was the beautifullest thing in the world.
Hook:
The most beautifullest thing in the world is just like that
I get in ya'
(I said it's just like-like this)
The most beautifullest thing in the world is just like that
(I said it's just like-like that)
The most beautifullest thing in the world is just like that
I get in ya'
(It's like this, it's like that, it's like this and a)
The most beautifullest thing in the world is just that
(word, it's like this, that and a third)
Verse 2:
Chilling in homeroom, making my own tunes, waves of sounds clashing like monsoons, creating particles of sand dunes,
Like Sandshrew, organizing tons of sand tunes,
hoping these, junior MC’s will mold this into sand castles,
Where they live across the fortress, where the view is certainly gorgeous,
metaphors come out the dungeon, similes will ride on horses,
And of course this is, sum I been absorbing,
and the reason I was failing my sixth grade courses
I wish, I can organize this in some type of manner,
Sitting by Dirty Diana, jamming like my name Mc Geiger,
hearing pleads of melodies from Aaliyah's Fourth Page of Letter ,
now the Teach walk out the room man it can’t get no better than this,
I start playing the “Grindin’” beat from The Clipse,
And automatic words spilled from the big homie’s lips,
Then he paused,
Cause he heard the ring of his phone,
Then we laughed he had Orange Juice Jones on the Ring Tone!
(Hook)
Verse 3:
Listen to the image I pre-led,
I'm pre-med cause I kick meds inside of these heads,
the beast sheds on a drop of a beat, fast forward a decade later now Im an emcee,
making music that’s affluent, that influence connoisseurs, its the teacher I'm the student,
put in work so I'm a steward, and I'm steadily improving, me and music can be congruent,
step aside enjoy the show and watch me while I do this,
pay attention use great observation,
catch every thought, and every tune, don’t have your mind latent,
interact with this dialect and have good conversation,
Ladies and gents I introduce you “The Compilation”
so have no fear its new flavor in your ear,
and that’s word to Craig Mack like 94’ is the year,
gotta heighten your megapixels just to get this picture clear,
see the greatness in my future may the world adhere to this.

Today Was A New Day
04:11
|

Verse 1:
I used to know this...this yellow-tone,
That i, i loved to bone,
Quick to sneak up in the crib, cause her mama always gone,
But her pops was always home,
And that, and that’s a shame,
Imagine a father hearing a daughter scream synonymous names.
Real shit,
Reminiscing takes my conscious on a guilt trip,
And how I broke her heart when i fucked her friend on that field trip....
After saying that I loved her,
And that part was true,
But them words was void cause my Dick wanted that new
That new pussy, new feel,
A new girl, another thrill,
I told the boys, a new cheer,
another one, she sheds tears,
And damn she cried bruh,
I mean Inside she fucking died bruh,
Years passed and messages got no replies bruh.
life of a naive teen, living life like a dream, not consulting realities,
of feelings written on the sleeves, of girls thighs i been between,
not recognizing, everything glittering, is not as gold as it seems.
And it's sad to say,
Cause I watched her make life's mistakes,
And now I pray,
That for her today is a new day
(Music Break)
Verse 2:
I know this girl name Tamika
But her friends call her mika,
She’s the baddest round’ town all the niggas tryna’ sweep her,
and she goes through depression but the fam don’t believe,
So she turns to a bottle and picks up a needle,
And that’s not it, I mean the shit gets deeper,
Cause the same nigga that love her is the same nigga that beat her,
And life goes on as the hill gets steeper as addiction grows strong and Tamika gets weaker,
But wait things start to get a lil better and it all started when mika opened up this letter,
It was written by Trevor, a cool-suave fella,
Her high school sweetheart who she aint seen in forever,
Conversations start to past, she blushes, he laughs
And an old school love came back rushing from the past
one day the door opens and she see his smiling face
And for her today was a new day
(Music Break)
Verse 3:
"You aint shit, and probably never gonna be shit,
So get your shit, and get the fuck up out my house i mean it"
His name was Diedrick, the hate from his father wasn't no secret, constant screaming, and proceedings usually resulting in beatings
And black eyes (black eyes)
All because he liked guys
Perplexed is his mind cause he's always being chastised
Dont know why,
like a curse from above,
He light the LL's
cause in the back of his mind,
He knew he need love
He knew he need hugs,
Life became nun but a shrug
And as the days turned to weeks he wanted no part of
see his momma left him when he was
Just two or three,
the sad thing he barely had her memories,
Influenced was he,
Mis-guided as a youngin’ could be,
A clueless soul, cause gender roles,
Wont in his mental scheme
Cause tomorrows not promised today,
He learned this yesterday,
As he sat up in his bed and tears ran up down his face,
Signifying, that relying
On this gun his hurt's replace,
And to give up all this pain,
His taste buds can surely taste,
A lil bit of freedom, and a little hope,
and a little a peace, as there's no way cope,
So he heads to the nightstand,
Pulls out the great book,
Placed it over his heart and the gun he took,
now they found him breathless a smile up on his face,
And for him… today was a new day.

So,
One time for the kid Pat-Live, on the mic, spitting fresh rhymes,

Cause you got the cake cake , like pancakes I stack em,
Throw my syrup down the barrel, now you banged and gagging. Woah lah,

So no confidential, I hope you ain't nimble, girl check my credentials. Girl check my credentials
Then Ima flammblast that for an hour,

cause I love that screw face, the screwed face like ya' eating sum sour.
Suck me for an hour,

slid down her tongue went down her throat as she swallowed devoured, yum yum yum clam chowder, owder, owder, outer.
Verse (Charles):
Just got a coal lit for the hookah
Tryna call a bad chick for the hook up
Cook a steak up and a salmon
For my shorties and my man’s dem

Cut sharper than plane propellers
And Ain’t nun you lames can tell us
Jus Jealous.
Finna grab shawty in the hills and I’m Trinidad James in this bit like
All god everthing in this bit AY
Didn’t wanna curse so I left out the C and I left out the H

Ask Shawty to the left if she ever wanna hang sometime
If so grab digits then step like
HOWAAAAARRREEE U Ms. Bridgett
IMAAAAAA young college graduate
Seen ya round the way in Forever 21 and you say you 31
Still hot like Sauna. Fam this FELLA I bang with the squad
Got both sides its the brain and the brawns.
Hit ya squad quicker than fist to face
Leaving ya wrists in cuffs
Twisting ya whole kit up
Thinking I’m quick to bluff
When all my lyrics touch yo soul.
Feel it when I’m kicking flows
Silly chilly willy mode killin hoes really
DOOOEEEE OH NOOOOO
I’m off the flow…FELLA!!
(Chant)
Verse (Grant):
Fella said he hospital like Pap smear
Pump stomach like Pilsners
Pabst beer in the throat of a hipster
Hysteria fairing thee well when the seams swell
On the jeans of some mean tail giving you a mean tell
You can but read like braille
Gripping butt with your fingers
Or just bag a bitch with a bouquet of wisteria
Flowers for bountiful roundedness
Rowdiness cresting the sexual pinnacle
Pacing your breaths…
Who the fuck got so liquored up for triplets Ken…
Doll you a dog for the Barbie
Skew it on or screw her with a thong on
For the rest of this got damn song
Outlast the Outkast reunion Stankonia or not
Plight of the pawn sacrifice of the lot
Size of the throne be the Rome to your dot
Scale on the map be the length of your rap
I mean the days that your reign as the king of the rats
Pat-Live go’n flamblast your fans’ asses
And C Ram be the man with any flow for your fancy
Grant me the tenacity to
Smash a banshee while eating strawberry candy
Sweet like a scream yearly via Howler
Fella borrow fellow Fella flow but louder
Neon staircase basement Bambaataa
Throwback eighties encounter
Hands in the air arm and hammer mace
Keep it medieval nod your crown to evaluate the bass and
Fuck ‘em all if they don’t take kick drums to the face.

Hook:
Hey how are you, wanna act a fool, well let me introduce you to Mr. E.T.’s Groove, bounce your head from side to side nigga feel the tune, buckle up for the ride, you’ll see where we headed too, and where we going?
Up High Up Up High
Up High Up Sky High
Where we going? (3x)
Looking down at you clowns while the stars shooting by
Vamp:
Levitate, Levitate, put us in the air, the clouds getting closer hold on we almost there,
Levitate Levitate, put us in the sky, looking down at you clowns while the stars shooting by,
Levitate levitate us SKY High,
Sitting on a comet, watch the asteroids glide,
Levitate, Levitate, put us in the Sky,
Looking down, above clouds as we make the stars align
Verse 1:
My flow is butter, it’s not margarine, it goes harder than,
An ottber-box Im an otterman, and even harder then,
Yo favorite athletes abominem, that abdomen,
Spell check on this new parliament, travels farther
Across the mountain tops through the waters and,
Out this universe past Venus, Saturn, Mars and them,
What’s wrong with him, why he keeps killin' y'all so hard again,
Cause I'm a shooting star and hip-hop is where I fall again.
So watch these stars align, and watch how many of them start to fall in time,
Make your wish before the people fall in line, and I'm a star so don’t you think I deserve all this shine? Clearly...
So if the shoe fits, please admit, and please do wear it,
But if the glove don’t fit, you must acquit, go'n share it,
Lot of y'all lack originality, go'n parrot
And if I speak of you please grin, go'n bare it.
Hook and Vamp
Verse 2:
Levitate - levitation,
I'm steady awaiting greatness,
No if’s, but’s, or hesitations,
In these creative innovations,
Sorry you are forsaken,
The throne is for the taking,
And if you think otherwise, then I'm sorry you're mistaken
That’s collard greens, navy beans, meaning I'm the shit,
That’s Mr. Clean and Listerine, nobody fresh as this,
The flow is straight butta, tell me where’s the cheese and grits,
And a nigga bout to start a fuckin' rap apocalypse.

Ahhhh Ahhh Bounce Bounce (2x)
Oooo OOOO Sway for a nigga sway (2x)
Verse 1 (Pat-Live):
Woke up this morning put my feet up on the flo',
Lift my head up to the sky saying, “Only Lord knows,”
That I'm headed for the top, and to the top I'll surely go,
I hit my partner on the cell, told em’ get ready for the show
Head down to the barbershop, you know the niggas talking,
Brothers showing nothing but love soon as I walking,
So I walked through the shop, and copped me a seat,
Someone yelled, “Son you the talk of the week,”
So I looked over, my right shoulder, saw it was my aunt and uncle Stover,
Had a huge grin and a cup of folgers, he said, "Son be sure to keep your composure, this exposure, will expose ya, get you eaten by vultures, remember what I told ya: work hard, stay hard, play hard, be real, be humble, be a soldier, it’s a cold world, real cold world, so how about you make It colder, it takes pressure to make diamonds, lets see when your album's over.. and you know what… what…never forget about God," I said, "Never worry about that unc, that won't be too hard. Cause when I…"
Chorus (2x):
Step up on stage I'm like church, pulpit
Crowds going wild, while they bumping my music,
And my mic is in my hand, my heart's pouring through it
And you can call me Nike nigga cause I Just Do It!
Verse2 (Grant):
sun runs up, strap on the kicks
nike mentality, converse picks
round by campus grounds
for a mound of sweet succulent
espresso dreams drowned
fuel for your foolish or your frugal
fashionable grinds for your noodle and you nudists
ruthless on the mic with pat live
diamond flow, pressure on all sides
epistemology of rhyme: go hard
for the carbon once reaction starts bitch
mes amis avec beacoups des swag, that's a french press
jog your memory, pete rock reminiscence
not jogging like this sooner, that's a miss step
on the pulpit for you vultures
that's pyrrhic
nicht zu geben über ein fuck ihre flieben
that's a blitzkrieg
faster than a pastor rasping
grasping for a lasting grip
on the concept of jesus
embodied by the avatar of leeroy jenkins
leading through a red sea
of pharisees fallen
prophecies rotting at the bottom
trodden graveyard of your mainstream flotsam
fella that's a helluva verse verbally
g live just spit for a minute, literally.
Verse 3 (Pat-Live):
Attention! Attention! Read all about it,
I'm about to shut it down in this bitch and all surroundings,
From the 434, to the 252, through all Forsyth county,
'bout set the stage ablaze, please tell me who is gone stop me?
I'm so sincere and the world must adhere, and I know I'm go'n kill it,
Do you feel it? Hell yeah,
Tonight will be the night you get the show of the year,
Prove myself unto the world, "Hello world I am here!"
So I pull up to the club looking, fresh, stupid,
Steppin' out the car and watching all these people lose it,
Walking through the crowd and my shirt keep getting pulled,
Pretty bishes yelling out, "Pat, can I have your children?"
Ha, hell no, but you kind of cute though, I got a show, but you can hit me later though,
maybe you get back stroke, side stroke, and a couple in throat, it could be your lucky night you never know, you never know,
you never know but maybe you could be my preference
say I'm preaching to the choir so I guess that makes me reverend
Amen.

Intro:
And this is how it sounds when Fella's in the building...
Ya feel me?
This that flavor in ya ear
Situations... The compilation...
Verse 1 (Charles Ramsey):
I can’t say it’s all fairy tales when involved
In a relationship naww
Sometimes it’s all good
Other times I really want
To argue and snatch your tongue
But I say all that with love (it’s cause I love you)
It’s just an expression of
My frustration sometimes (cause you get on my nerves girl)
But it’s way more good than bad
I feel like I’m growing up
Tryna be all about that balance now.
Hook (Charles Ramsey):
(Situations) sometimes be testing me, causing strain
And often they mess with me, having me acting strange
Why oh why, I ask must, our hearts sometimes go astray
Are my feelings just leading me on? (leading me). (2x)
Verse 2 (Pat-Live):
I remember when,
Love was thick hate was thin, my smile gave you butterflies that were gone in the wind,
But I couldn’t pretend,
I didn’t feel the energy but long distant relations turned to long distant memories,
It’s simple, life’s just not a coincidence, I just lacked the common sense to make you a permanent part,
Oh my god, I didn’t mean to fall so hard,
Scared to see you walking down that aisle, your father on your arm,
Bell ringing like alarms,
And our family both applaud,
But I couldn’t say “I do”, I guess I got lock-jawed,
To avoid filling the void in my heart that you explored
And through all my wrong doings, your love always adorned me,
Preach, and that’s a Miguel snippet,
I'm trying to paint the perfect pic but its hard when you not in it,
God’s willing hope this next-line is self-fulfilling,
Cause in this fairy tale you got to be my happy ending.

Jelani Ince Spoken Word:
the charge for an artist is not to enable comfort,
it is to enlighten.
we are the caretakers of this garden of art,
this community of gifts and talents;
some have passed, some have become stagnant,
some have become impatient and have adopted artificial growth enhancers
instead of allowing nature to nurture their calling.
we must always remember that our duty is to ensure that these roots
are never uprooted,
because we are the last of a dying breed,
the few in a group of men that aren't bastardizing this garden,
we cannot forget it completely but we can guide its seed,
through word and deed.
so this isn't just a poem,
this is an ode to the ones who are here,
the ones who came and the ones who have yet to come;
the people whose lives we have touched and have yet to touch.
so grant, pat, charles, dale, ryan, kory, le'ron, keep cultivating.
please keep planting these seeds because if you don't,
no one else will.
may your lungs never get weary,
may your feet never falter,
may your heart continue to persevere,
may you continue to see the beauty and struggle,
may you continue to touch,
may you never stop loving this community,
even when reciprocation never happens.
we are gardeners,
we are caretakers,
we... are artists...
Grant Livesay Spoken Word:
... and as such must persist – a steadfast family – ours
a burgeoning orchard of sisters and brothers,
fathers and mothers, daughters and sons
not bound by blood but by aestheticism
so love remember when words become wind beneath the wingtips
of our outstretched fingers this:
that there would be no rustling of leaves if not for the roots of our trees
and no eyes to see them without feet to lead us
no tongue for the rant sans a language for the dance
and no scent for ascension with but bliss to be mentioned
yes, river reciprocity is a one way rip-tide our tribe may be forced to fjord
but for the life and light of you and yours by god fight the current
with all of your might and all of your burdens
and amidst the hefts and surges
the charge of an artist surfaces
to awaken creation from its soiled dreams
cry out: “rise,” -
and as for the kid pat-live
two shots fired in the sky.
Pat-Live Verse:
I'm a cool breeze
On that night of summers eve
You know, cool mint fresh
Like a swig a Listerine,
Niggas claim they making noise,
they be playing tambourines,
Just some puppet ass niggas,
Watch me pluck their tiny strings,
Then I breath,
Lubricate my dick
To slide with ease,
Fucking lady liberty,
'til she scream let freedom ring,
To the top of her lungs,
From now to kingdom come,
'til unbelievers glean
saying, "Pat Henry i believe,"
I can fly,
These are the days of our lives,
But the young is restless from these bold and beautiful lies,
As the world turns, the passions will all reside,
Inside ourselves but still miss the guided light,
What plight, what to do,
Fight or flight?
Hard to be the beacon,
When we can't obtain the light,
Like, shit,
Guarantee I won't submit,
See the greatness in my future may the world adhere to this:
THE COMPILATION.
