So Many Wrongs
Verse 1
No more talkin’ to these people they can’t hear me
I can’t expect acceptance when I hate that they get near me
So I pretend they fear me, but I know it’s me, I’m weary
It’s dreary, but so sincerely, I’m teary so much
That I could fill up Lake Erie
So here we go again, just a youngster and his pen
Tryna make amends, tryna make a difference
But they don’t see the significance
They claim resemblance to every rapper with chatter and lost innocence
The cost distances himself from everyone else
Who does it for wealth, he does it for health and that’s it
Never speaks past tense
On the road on his own while he screams catch this
¬Hook
I gotta keep on movin, keep on movin
No matter what I’m facin, what I’m doin
So many wrongs, all I need is one right
Searchin’ for the sunlight
This is my life
Verse 2
Staring at these walls makes me feel a little messed
I know that everyone has their bouts with emptiness
But I look around and nothin seems to kill the stress
Only thing I’m killin is what’s beatin deep inside my chest
Memories in life is all that we really have
They gon’ look back and say damn all the will he had
While all you frogs stay stuck on your lily pads
I’m soarin like an eagle like I’m ballin makin Philly glad
The cycle turns with every show and every new track
Everyone around me doin all they can to lose Nap
But I can do that, it’s so close I can taste it
Destination at all costs no matter what I’m facin’
Hook
Verse 3
Gotta break this cage, can’t take much more
Stuck inside these walls has me bitter to the core
These folks really think that life has gone and closed the door
Like one sprinkle of this rain and it’s bound to go and pour
How can I live with those decisions?
Like life was right there and I refused to go and live it
Now I’m starrin in the mirror, my age pushin triple digits
And all I can say is what if I did it different
That’s why you see me with a mic on this stage
That’s why these words come with loveliness and rage
That’s why if rap is my book’s final page
You can put it on the shelf and place flowers on my grave

Yeaaaah

This is Indianapolis Crossroads
Circle City, it’s the No Coast
Rock the mic all night, ice cold like whoa, we bout to blow like nitro

Hook
Verse 3 - Brad Real
No more subliminals, right now it’s pivotal
Got teamed up with the Naptown originals
New age criminals comin with the fast heat
Cats get scratched with Nick on the back beat
Chumps get bumped for thinkin they can pass me
Cry babies get stuck with the passy
Foot into mouth for thinkin that you had me
I made a B.I.G. move like ashy to classy
I’m focused in
Married to the game, got my tokens in
Words on fire, come soak this grin
Bout to double up like Roker’s chin
Hold this in? I don’t think so
Work round the clock like Fedex Kinkos
Let chips fall like playin Plinko
Ask me to stop, ha, what you think bro? NAH
I-N-D
Lookin lost so follow me
Skittz and Fire and A-C-E
Constantly rippin M-I-C’s
No coast don’t need, cuz it’s circle city by design
Naptown always on my mind

Running Out of Time (Remix)
Verse 1
Another year, still right here
Lookin at myself in the mirror
Like where we goin, can you steer
Lines on pages disappear
Killed myself for twelve straight months
To hopefully make ‘em listen once
Made some moves and opened eyes
My role models start to criticize (why)
Cuz it ain’t the same bullshit lines
‘Married to the Music’ got some buzz
Folks in Nap found out who I was
But I still ain’t scratched the surface cuz
If I ain’t believe then no one does
City streets feel just like a maze
Blink of an eye you crushed in daze
That’s why now I’m bustin with Shay
So ‘Sunshine’ might stop runnin away
Won’t you come out and play ay
Hook
It never slows (it never slows)
This life we chose (life we chose)
And where it goes (and where it goes)
We just don’t know (We just don’t know)
It never slows (it never slows)
This life we chose (life we chose)
And where it goes (and where it goes)
We just don’t know (We just don’t know)
Running out of, running out of, running out of
We’re running out of time
Shay
Hook
Time comes and time goes
It never really slows
It’s up to you how you wanna let it flow
Time comes and time goes
It never really slows
It’s up to you how you wanna let it flow
Verse 3
This journey started with a single step I hope you understand
I’d rather be dead broke than empty with a couple hundred grand
Cuz life can change direction in a second like a rubber band
I’m jumpin off this ledge and hope I end in Never Never Land
Time is runnin out I need a better plan
Hook

Nowhere (Circle City Remix)

Hook
We ain’t goin, we ain’t goin nowhere
We ain’t goin, we ain’t goin nowhere
We ain’t goin, we ain’t goin nowhere
We ain’t, we ain’t, we aint goin nowhere
Verse 2
New man, fresh face and I re-upped twofold
JB, Kal-J, damn what was you told
Scraped the plate clean homie make yaself useful
Shovelin the game while these haters takin spoonfuls
Never once have I said I am the best
Just showin ‘em my breath is pressure you can’t test
Never rest, we leave ‘em tryna guess
Just to show ‘em that our fresh is fresher than their fresh
Thorn in ya side, the itch you just can’t scratch
Exponential spreadin like these rhymes made out of anthrax
Blink of an eye like rap was gettin ransacked
But I’ll slow it down so these dummies understand that

The Storm
The clouds can be a comfort if you know you can sustain
Others run from storms but I’m alive when I feel rain
The clouds can be a comfort if you know you can sustain
Others run from storms but I’m alive when I feel rain
Have you seen the clouds collide
Swift and vengeful suicide
Blind sided by weight and ya hands are tied
Back to the world but to you that’s fine
Sometimes it’s me, sometimes I see
Every single thing that I wanna be
But I’m far from free and harmony
The taste of dreams is stravin me
So I clinch my fists and bite my lips
Walk around this life so pissed
You get the gist now start the mist
I just can’t keep holdin onto this
Knock me down all bets are off
Mister nice guy make ya sweat and cough
Your threats are soft, regrets are lost
When I come through I’m settin off
The rain is on it’s way now, stand your ground don’t look away now
The voices yellin stay down, turn around there ain’t no way now
The world is our own playground, together we can’t be torn
Face to face, hand in hand, we will make it through the storm
My mind tells me it’s now or never
And I gotta make the move to break this weather
Sometimes though, fuck it whatever
You can take all these raps as my goodbye letters
Swallowed up by the hands of fate
To get spit back out by yesterday
It paves the way for me to hate the day
Ain’t ashamed to say I let it fade away
The pressure builds, the pressure kills
I can’t swim, can’t breathe, no gills
Emotions kill but motion heals
Jump off these slow motion wheels
The path turns left I’m takin a right
You succumb to the stress, I’m makin a fight
I’m breakin the night, bring you fakers to light
Throw you into the storm, tie the key to the kite POW
The rain is on it’s way now, stand your ground don’t look away now
The voices yellin stay down, turn around there ain’t no way now
The world is our own playground, together we can’t be torn
Face to face, hand in hand, we will make it through the storm
Irony is the theme I live
Moments take and moments give
Looking back as just a kid
Or where it is, I cherish it
But I thank God I had my struggle
Thank him for each breath of trouble
Helped me bust right out this bubble
Now me and stars take time to cuddle
Winds are screamin, clouds are cryin
Thoughts drowned out by the sounds of sirens
Jump this ledge, I feel like flyin
Cuz livin sure as hell beats dyin
It’s almost here, the thunder rolls
The waves pick up to under toes
I wonder where wonder goes when wonder has no place to grow
It’s times like these that I believe
The locks deceive, don’t need a key
We need to see that we can be
Something before R-I-P
Whatever happens from this point on
I only have myself to blame it on
The pain is strong, the rain ain’t gone
But I’ll fight through the storm till the break of dawn
The rain is on it’s way now, stand your ground don’t look away now
The voices yellin stay down, turn around there ain’t no way now
The world is our own playground, together we can’t be torn
Face to face, hand in hand, we will make it through the storm
The clouds can be a comfort if you know you can sustain
Others run from storms but I’m alive when I feel rain
The clouds can be a comfort if you know you can sustain
Others run from storms but I’m alive when I feel rain
The rain is on it’s way now, stand your ground don’t look away now
The voices yellin stay down, turn around there ain’t no way now
The world is our own playground, together we can’t be torn
Face to face, hand in hand, we will make it through the storm
The clouds can be a comfort if you know you can sustain
Others run from storms but I’m alive when I feel rain
The clouds can be a comfort if you know you can sustain
Others run from storms but I’m alive when I feel rain

Hear my name hear my name get mad and you mumble,
Now you hear my name get mad and you mumble, get mad and you mumble,
Hear my name you m-m-mumble
To me it seems crazy just how quickly that the hate comes
Just cuz you have no dreams and I decide to chase one
Lookin over at me and you say you see a fake one
But I lapped you easy, I ain’t even got the pace done (vroom)
Now I’m racin, set me free (set me free)
All these foolish nonbelievers wanna criticize me (criticize me)
Pitter patter, jibber jabber, you can doubt just wait and see (you’ll see)
Cuz the end won’t ever be till I’m D-E-A-D
Nothin but the right moves, still they only smite you
No it ain’t right dude (that’s how it is)
Tryin to out psych you, secretly they like you
They wish they had your fight dude (that’s what it is)
Sting of a bee and you know I’m steady flutterin
Now they analyze every word that I’m utterin
Name on their tongue but now I keep ‘em s s stutterin’
Now you hear my name, get mad and you mumble,
Hear my name hear my name get mad and you mumble,
Now you hear my name get mad and you mumble, get mad and you mumble,
Hear my name you m-m-mumble
Now you hear my name, get mad and you mumble,
Hear my name hear my name get mad and you mumble,
Now you hear my name get mad and you mumble, get mad and you mumble,
Hear my name you m-m-mumble
Yo I hit the ground runnin and the truth is always in tact
Never claimed a gangster cuz the hood ain’t where I been at
But to me it doesn’t matter, I am down to defend that
Never fallin off like the BUCKLE on ya chin strap (chump)
Yeah I live Nap, it’s seen me through (seen me through)
And I’ma bust right through your talkin like the dudes in white and blue (Go Colts)
Got a dream, go pursue, when you see me throw up 2 (deuces)
If ya ain’t got faith then I bid adieu
First they think you fakin, then they think you breakin
Patiently you waitin (that’s how it is)
Now you got ‘em shakin, tummies get to achin’
Underestimated (that’s what it is)
Build up your walls but they will come crumblin
Two hands on it so you know I’m never fumblin
Sound of my name keepin everyone m m mumblin
Never gon’ quit, never ever till I’m dead
Never gon’ quit Never gon’ quit, never ever ever
Never gon’ quit never ever till I’m dead
Never ever till I’m dead, never quit till I’m dead
Never gon’ quit, never ever till I’m dead
Never gon’ quit Never gon’ quit, never ever ever
Never gon’ quit never ever till I’m dead
Never ever till I’m dead,
Now you hear my name, get mad and you mumble,
Hear my name hear my name get mad and you mumble,
Now you hear my name get mad and you mumble, get mad and you mumble,

We Are Who We Are
Verse 1
Yo it’s time to reach the masses with the passion of this rappin
Cuz I’m craftin so much action call me Merlin with this magic
Causin traffic just from yappin
People sayin that I’m smashin
Others laughin but it’s tragic cuz I’m stronger than elastic
Bullets passin from the mouths of all these serpents showin disrespect
All because I’m workin hard and they ain’t worth a penny yet
Walkin round intimidatin, they ain’t posin any threat
I’m runnin circles round these clowns and you ain’t even seen me sweat
I’m on point homie something like a steady gun
You get one head start, 1, 2 ready, run
I’m floodin all these streets like I broke the levy son
It’s Brad Real, Recon and Yeti-One
Hook
We are who we are, that’s how it is
Take a look around you before reachin for this
We are who we are, that’s how it be
Blowin passed all of you folks and takin hip-hop with me
Yeti-One
Hook
Ladies and gentlemen
Bring the bass, to your mother f****ing face
s.a.i.n.t. RECON
Verse 3
So our mission is simplistic
But you can’t read like hieroglyphic
Best get with it or admit it
You been witnessin the wicked
Cuz I’m lifted just like Ace said
Spittin till my face red
I’m hittin roads like Ray said
Cuz hip-hop will not stay dead

Self Rehab
Verse 1
Eratic
It’s been a long time comin but it’s finally arrived
No more seein things through depressed eyes
Yo I finally found a mission, got my head to the sky
Givin thanks to my folks and the utmost high
Life’s about dreams and decisions you make
Ain’t no time to nibble at it, now I’m scrapin the plate
I hold it down for anybody who can feel and relate
Can’t be sittin on ya hands you only get what you take
Haters used to get me with their looks and their words
But I’ve come a long way, through rhymes I matured
Used to keep me up, deep down it would burn
Now they see my face when the channel gets turned
So I keep it movin don’t hear what they said
I’m underdoggin it out here and I don’t shit where I lay
Spinnin circles round these clowns like some 30-inch blades
Makin something outta nothin and today is the day
Hook
Naptown turn it up, blaze that shit real loud
Every corner every spot let ‘em know that we’re proud
Hot tunes, crowds move to this hip-hop sound
Chin up, chest out welcome to our town
Verse 2
Eratic
Ha, look at me now
Mama can you see me hope you feelin real proud
Took the things you told me when the lightning was loud
Said son, what you put in is what you get out
Hope I’m makin you smile
The emptiness I felt’s been gone for a while
I thank the Lord up above cuz he made me your child
Now I’m spreadin wings and I’m flyin for miles

Stand on Your Own 2
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you gotta do
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you got to do
It’s a hard learned lesson in this life at times
That you gotta act out what you feel inside
You know, confidence is nothing when you lookin for shine
You can’t make it up to ten without countin to nine
And you gotta have patience
Bro, I know that you wanna make a statement
But don’t rush, just trust you gon’ make it
You gotta step back and see through all the hatred
It’s sounds basic, but trust me the road’s long
What you think you have is gone when things go wrong
Have somethin sacred in your life you betta hold on
Otherwise might as well go throw the stone on
So many don’t wanna see you reach high
They wanna hold you back, grippin with their leash tight
They hit on the left, go and turn your cheek right
Turn it up, let em know, we showin em what peace like
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you gotta do
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you got to do
Stand up, hold your ground on your own two
Be proud, handle things like you sposed to
Be strong no matter what you go through
Your shoes, put ‘em on, stand up on your own two
Stand up, hold your ground on your own two
Be proud, handle things like you sposed to
Be strong no matter what you go through
Your shoes, put ‘em on, stand up on your own two
It’s like that so it happens now or never
Only you can go out and change things for the better
It’s only your endeavor right here and wherever
Come on out the doors you can make it through the weather
Stay true to your path
Leave your foot up off the brake and keep on pushin the gas
You’ll get to where you wanna, never hold back
Just keep pushin and rememberin that…
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you gotta do
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you got to do
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you gotta do
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you got to do
Stand up, hold your ground on your own two
Be proud, handle things like you sposed to
Be strong no matter what you go through
Your shoes, put ‘em on, stand up on your own two
Stand up, hold your ground on your own two
Be proud, handle things like you sposed to
Be strong no matter what you go through
Your shoes, put ‘em on, stand up on your own two
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you gotta do
No matter what they do, stay true to you
Even when they try to make a fool of you
Stay believin’ in yourself, you’ll make it through
Stand on your own two, do what you got to do

“Ain’t Budgin’”
Brad Real
Produced by Nick J
8729 Records, LLC.
Verse 1
Ok the kid is back, pump the speakers, bump the track
Fresh out the booth, with the truth, because I spit the facts
I been posted up here in Nap since I was little
Since Tim Hardaway was with the killer cross over dribble
Let’s keep it simple, got the music in my flesh and bones
Learned what I could in the streets and took my lessons home
Now I’m blessed and grown, time to go and spread my message
Ain’t trippin on if my voice is accepted
Cuz if I keep the method and always go and speak the real
And not change myself to try to go and get a record deal
Then I know they’ll feel everything I write and spit
I done tried to long and hard to just relinquish it
No I ain’t movin man I’m standin strong
I ain’t sayin that I’m perfect, I know that I did some things wrong
But I keep on, ’09 is my year
And if you ever had a doubt just know that…
Hook
I’m right here, ain’t budgin’ for nobody
I’m right here, I’m right here
Ain’t Budgin’ for nobody
I’m right here ain’t budgin for nobody
Ain’t budgin’ for nobody
Ain’t budgin’ for no, no, nobody
Verse 2
It’s back to basics while ya’ll are impatient
Let my music feed ya, c’mon and just taste this
Grindin everyday, too real to ever fake this
While ya’ll are in slow mo like you stuck in the matrix
I’m right here, never leavin, never sleepin
I’m just dreamin and believing that my bleedin’s for a reason
All this sweat and all these tears from my adolescent years
I persevered through my peers who spoke that nonsense in my ear
So listen here you know Brad and never been a hater
Got your hate mail posted up on my refrigerator
So who’s hungry? Open up I got some mouths to feed
Get up on the mic and lay it down, I got some crowds to please
I’ve sat back waitin, bumpin tracks and bobbin heads
But you the reason Nas had to come and say hip-hop is dead
Have no fear, this music’s bustin out the house
Cuz I showed up to give hip-hop mouth to mouth
Hook
I’m right here, ain’t budgin’ for nobody
I’m right here, I’m right here
Ain’t Budgin’ for nobody
I’m right here ain’t budgin for nobody
Ain’t budgin’ for nobody
Ain’t budgin’ for no, no, nobody
Verse 3
You ain’t sayin’ nothing that ain’t entered my ear
Why your nervous bout my game if I ain’t nothing to fear
Why you checkin out my tracks why you bringin up my stats
If I ain’t smooth with this groove why you go and play it back
Yep I do this for the Nap, 317 is my home
I do this for my folks who know that hip hop aint their own
Yeah we are all respect the music and we squash those who abuse it
You aint sayin nothing dogg you only here for our amusement
Puttin in work, comin home and lacin tracks
Doin shows, highs and lows, gimme mo and bring it back
With this rap, I attack, as I seek I extract
All the facts from these cats that put Nap on their back
Gimme dap, this is ours, all my folks hear me roar
From the east to the west from the south and the north
When it rains let it pour, I ain’t runnin for the door
I ain’t budgin this is what I was built and made for
Hook
I’m right here, ain’t budgin’ for nobody
I’m right here, I’m right here
Ain’t Budgin’ for nobody
I’m right here ain’t budgin for nobody
Ain’t budgin’ for nobody
Ain’t budgin’ for no, no, nobody
