Window la la la, say la la la ,say chorus As I look out the window Ain't no telling what i'll see As I look out the window what does this world have for me? As I look out the window Will i see the sun shine? As I look out the window Will i see the clouds in the sky? verse 1 Witness the transition from a man to king nothing's been given to me I have earned everything I deserve much more this what I worked for wasn't settling for no 9 to 5 work force and its a damn shame you think that I don't see yo campaign man I don't owe y'all a damn thang some of em' mad cause I don't hang on the same corners I got friends that can't wait to say I changed on em' time is money and you steady tryna keep me in debt acting like a Nike sponsor, tryna keep me in check name the best of the best and I'm better than that I'm the answers to the questions that have never been asked You can love me like your favorite you can hate me like a Laker long as you know i'm a genius you should call me Amadeus mixed with some Ossie Davis lyrically I'm a savior made in God's image so you could call me the greatest disrespected, neglected all of my faith been tested never thought like a victim I take my losses as lessons hated all of my bosses aggravated my teachers cause they saw my potential but never i would never reach it man I hated school I picked my major but that ain't make me no major moves and everyday was like a living hell but still I made it, graduated and I lived to tell I look out the window and wonder will I win or fail? chorus verse 2 All of my friends moved away i'm left alone, wondering who's here? my college years made me lose hair was planning to move to New York but I was too scared was tired of telling my family 'just gimme two years' cause two years turned to five and five turned to ten and pride wouldn't let me see depression setting in lock yo' self in a room doing five beats a day for seven summers man this something you could never stomach bloggers coming at me acting like they know the way disrespect me and say that I'm just my friend's protege like I ain't been working for years on my own writing rhymes, doing songs making beats all at home by my lonesome my time is now thats irrelevant how can somebody named Omen be so heaven sent? window of opportunity was always draped and sheered the story of the man that forever perseveres chorus bridge from the outside looking in nothing is as it seems I wake up everyday and fight for my dreams I dare you to walk a while in my shoes to see what i've endured this is a song for creators, the lovers the painters, the dreamers the crafters, the masters the makers never wanted anything more never wanted anything more never wanted anything more never wanted anything more never wanted anything more

Look of Lust la da da... the look of lust pleasure is a must im sleeping here with lust scenes of ménages with asian massages sin is the scent of my apartment she can feel the rhythm as I give her my guitar licks she never knew I was an artist I play the instrument well in the dark lit room please baby doll don't pause this groove ever seen a flower in the darkness bloom? I know ya never have love and all we got is lust we don't have love I think the song started in the bath tub then the melody continued to a back rub you told me your homegirl could play the sax love well show me if she can played my notes perfectly your making me your fan in between your smiles were the sounds of our whispers as I'm looking down, such a bountiful picture I look at her then look at you and both of you make such a beautiful muse for this music but this is not a Mozart movement but baby girl keep your composure I'm not done with composing its the look of lust The look of lust is in your eyes A look that you can't disguise verse 2 (Kendrick Lamar) Say she hate it when I'm super faded loaded, only notice her body rather her conversation rushing, lusting sexual favors when the hours chasing midnight or 2pm a vampire in Jordan laces prey on the blood of the promiscuous panties on the premises pantry full of condoms fuck yo consciente lets get intimate she say baby boy slow down you know I move with diligence you think that I'm a hoe now? and strip me for my innocence she was older, she was colder than the rest of ‘em Lurking over my shoulder temptation getting the best of ‘em So much, I never knew how to touch a real woman ‘Kendrick, I want you to make me feel something’ Pulled down my pants and then she glanced at me with a smirk Repeatedly shook my hand and said what’s wrong? ‘Should I kiss it first?’ I can do that, I won’t complain She said that ain’t a problem, I’m wet But first you gotta fuck my brain like a surgeon Get yo’ mental working like a 9-5 before we get it live and close the curtains I thought massage is all I need now proceed if it’s worth it Or leave if it’s urgent For you to rendezvous I know your needs have a purpose Cause I have feelings too and you have fillings But that’s only in yo’ teeth when they hurting I started laughing, she pulled my card like pitty-pat Pitied the fool for any kitty kat It’s the look of lust… verse 3 Walking through the streets I met a palm reader She told me I was wise beyond my years Says I been here before, well I guess that I'm just here for more… of the lust Will she keep this on the hush? I like the ones that never blush Now you seduced by the serpent Wine on your lips I'm close enough to know that that's as fine as it gets I'm in too deep and i'm diving for dinner She lets me know that she's a synchronized swimmer blindfolded, heckling You can't see her but I'm guessing that she's got the look of lust… chorus

Probably not, but I swear to you its no misleading I got some thangs that I been dealing with that make me question is my mindset still innocent? She got my heart true But She got my hormones Imagine her screaming the sounds that a whore moans Lord knows that i love her so But it seems as time passes I wonder mo' What are these other women like? Don't even wanna know em' I just wanna spend the night I know that that's immoral But its what I feel, aight? I'm trying to be truthful but all you do is lie to me and say the feeling's mutual holding on to pride while i'm holding on to fear that one day I may have to be unfaithful to my dear and I can't fight the feeling now don't even know what I'm feeling now chorus I'm fighting the feeling everyday I'm on the verge and I can't seem to kick the urge fighting the feeling I can't speak what's on my mind, guess its been building over time fighting the feeling And now it's got me all confused All I know is I don't wanna lose Fighting the feeling Fighting the feeling I know I feel guilty I kinda think I'm wrong cause I just want you to stay while i linger on and that ain't fair at all we in a gray area now and I barely call yet somehow you still got my soul I bare it all but you don't care it all don't wanna hear my song you heard it all along I'm caught up in a 'Jonz in my Bonz' got my 'Brown Sugar' going Life kinda like D'Angelo's poems but baby I'm still him baby I'm still Damon same ol' G I'm just hoping you still patient same ol' me been the same since in the playpen and I never change, I remain until my day's end I'm kinda paranoid I don't trust someone I been feeling some thangs I wanna run from like something inside of my heart is undone busy wondering where did this lust come from? chorus Nobody told me there'd be days there'd be days like this No Now, how do I clear mixed emotions? Can't go to mama now I think I need some different coaching Oh wait, too late see now she left me That's probably cause I left her Wonder should I text her But I don't wanna stress her but all the stress i'm feeling now might leave me on a stretcher Oh wait extra extra! my best friend is a snake spreading lies on the regular I also lost my job feel my heart I need a check-up and now I need her more than ever but on the flip side, still thinking horny pleasures I swear that sometimes I'm so dumb and I would love for my temptation here to go numb Don't even drink, yet I'm so drunk And this is weird though, I never ever acted on my impulses I told you I never cheated but listen closely Ya see, everything ain't always bout your actions Sometimes you could have an inappropriate attraction chorus

Liberation verse 1 what a blessing to be inspired visualizing and manifesting things I've desired the most intelligent, intellectual never pseudo my beats and rhymes my own dynamic duo I have em' bitter have em' shiver and have em' quiver my destiny's to be fly just call me caterpillar a visionary, I've seen things that haven't happened the quiet assassin, aquarius, who started rapping analyzing, deliberating stayed up at night questioning why I'm afraid of the heights such a nice guy maybe I was raised too polite tell me how you so shy but you blazing the mic unexplainable, God gave me this flame to ignite such a long journey here but I stayed on the hike motivated by my team told me dream, told me stop second guessing a blessing when your friends are your best competition Liberation... verse 2 Everybody telling me I'm next man my fans is the best psychics tell your favorite rapper's better wear they best diapers cause I'm here, I can smell your fear Your whole career just turned to a puddle of tears heard em' say I'm way too quiet to achieve my plans If they only knew the loudest is the weakest man name Omen, but DMoney be the alias nobody's above me but trust I ain't atheist I never worried bout' a hater, I know I wasn't meant to fail People really only hate you when they hate themselves Got a lot of new friends and they fake as hell They behind me but they tryna form a paper trail I just wanna feel comfortable I want a classy woman, where's my Claire Huxtable? I'm feeling I can find my dream here tonight That's not a train in the tunnel, where I see the light Liberation verse 3 Ya can't imagine what I've seen in my life Through the madness Jogging in the sands of sadness I tell you I have dreamed of my night Unlock the latches I desire all of your access I grew up round' gangbanging culture drug dealers tryna get white like Sammy Sosa thug killers tryna suffice and so they post up Shaq style, raised in the jungle, amazon So they act wild Another black child, smoking on Black Mild none of them know where they from don't know our background never made the Dean's List but we young, black genius beat tailor made, I'm my own seamstress Can't ya see I'm finna blow like Aretha Tear ya block up and I ain't screaming Jenga Can't control my flow just call Fema I told ya befo' I do it for the dreamers

Lift Me 04:31
Lift Me Chorus Feel like I'm falling down Feel like I'm falling down again Somebody lift me, somebody lift me Feel like I'm falling down Feel like I'm falling down again Somebody lift me, somebody lift me [Verse 1: Omen] As I sit in my room, these walls seem to cause me to pause No fans, no applause, I'm lost I fall... to the bed in my draws stinking, thinking some things that make me realize I've gone way down, way down to the deep end Reaching, with nothing to grab These songs ain't pumping the gas How long do it take for a dream to come true man I swear I'm just tossed as a crab in a bucket But it ain't number six, feeling like bozo But I keep trucking in slow-mo Man life is a slowpoke, but I dare hold no grudges Chorus Feel like I'm falling down Feel like I'm falling down again Somebody lift me, somebody lift me Feel like I'm falling down Feel like I'm falling down again Somebody lift me, somebody lift me bridge This feeling creeps like a thief All he left was doubt and stole belief My excuse is gone, I could use one now Please don't bring me up just to bring me down Verse 2 Is it stress or is it depression? Cause it sure don't feel like a blessing Don't feel like it came from the essence Feel like somebody shot my intestines Destined, for the sadness of the world and My heart's been darkening Lately, me and my girl been arguing, broke up Now its worse than the arguments How'd we get so far from the start of it? So bad, now we might never talk again Ask God, why my life being targeted? Swear he replied like I ain't got no part in this So I brought out the pen and escaped from the thoughts in my brain Leave them tossed on the page with the strongest intention All day, I done fought in a rage, feeling lost in a cage And I'm caught in suspension, so tired of this roller coaster One minute I'm cool, next minute I'm close to tears I bet regret is coming to get me A cellmate of sorrow, somebody lift me I'm falling down again

With a gesture to perplex us full of snide rimshot notes sure seem that way to me with a spotlight on thee walked in late to the show and I'm stuck with a front row seat use money just to get high use money just to get drunk? know it seems that way but really use money just to get numb chorus from the pain, across the game the loss, the drain the cost, the gain of this life, often dismissed as nothing more than a crumb Lord, this life is no fun cause I am just a bum forever shunned thumbed, over and over just a crumb, a bum verse 2 see me lost and i'm starving see me toss through the garbage see me stumble through the streets with a beep-beep launched from the car horn I get kicked to the curb shot with an angry word cops on the block wanna lock me scream, but I can't be heard so I just cry inside might as well climb the sky cause I die every winter time when the Chitown climate dives all I got left is faith all I got left is hate all I got left to say no wait, let me please explain please don't roll yo eyes please don't walk on by wasn't always a bum why's this world so numb? chorus bridge I've dreamed of what its like to dream I've been loyal to life but its not to me I thought life was my most cherished thing But now i see life, gave up on me So now I seek revenge verse 3 mind state is now a shelter for cynicism no amount of morphine no kind of penicillin could heal em' cause this feeling I'm feeling is feeling like I'm bitten with venom I'm filled with trigger intentions to (murder) everything that I believed everything that I conceived as the truth memories been bereaved under siege from my youth I don't blink I don't think I just bleed through the juice of my drank confused and I'm blank so I'm choosing the plank as I walk to the sky life never responds hope death will reply life never responds hope death will reply I'm feeling numb I bet you death will reply life never responded to me why try

Lovely Minutes verse 1 When you’re alone, lying in bed I wonder what goes, inside of your head Or when you awake, and fold your spread Then iron your clothes, and toast your bread What thoughts occur, what pictures come? You cleaned your plate, ya scraped the crumbs You grab your coat, you grab your phone You head to work and start to zone Tell me where does your mind go? What do you see through the blindfold? Is it your future, is it your past? Does it make you stress, does it make you laugh? You sit at your desk, you day dream But tell me do you see the same things? The times pass, the days change And all this time I’m still wondering Chorus Is it me, is it me, in the feelings that you holding? Is it me that you think of when you’re glowing? Is it me, is it me, in the feelings that you holding? Is it me, in between all your moments? verse 2 You’re more than the one, I don’t believe in list Don’t care how the world’s perceiving this These hurricanes, catastrophes, Don’t mean a thing when you’re my fantasy Ya help to change my reality Your voice is such a beautiful sight to see I know it’s cheesy, but please believe me No way imagination would deceive me Talk to me long, talk to me right Mama mad you don’t talk how she like But she don’t know you quite like I do Other boys call but you be lying to em' You see your phone flash line two And once again, I have found you The times pass, the days change And all this time I’m just wondering.

Mama Told Me verse 1 Tryna follow my intuition as I’m on this million dollar mission Mama told me I was special, thank God I listened My environment never let me be a pretender Similar interest with them dope boys but I was different The hoop dreaming lonely child hung around, Hyde Park, Chatham and the Stony Isle Pimps, players, gang wars, living in a lonely town Who can I relate to? Feeling like the Golden child, Chi city culture Full of Pain, full of soul singers Dead bodies in our rivers but their souls linger A young black man living with unrealistic dreams But luckily I’ve seen some unrealistic things A child from the city took the good route Always fit in and always stood out, complex Layered, rather show you than say it Though I know my greatness is always understated Mama working 12 hours days on her feet Coming home cooking dinner, made her son wanna weep My step father working while I’m zoning to beats Meanwhile my biological is roaming the streets Tryna be an entertainer, but my heart held love no anger He out there tryna be a singer I guess its just the life I was made for chorus Mama told me I was special Mama told me I was special Mama told me I was special Gotta love her for that (yeah) (2x) verse 2 (J. Cole) Yeah, truly yours, J. Cole My mama could've been a movie star Ya know like Judy Garland I went to st johns I could've went to Juliard Cause my beautiful mind mixed with my musical bond Deep as a funeral line, dawg, I get it from my mama I used to be embarrassed getting picked up in that honda Thought my niggas might play me if they found out that my mama was a white lady So like gravy had to cover that Plus my older brother black but he look white In an all black school, picture what that look like No wonder he was under-achieving not believing' in himself Coming home just be keeping to himself Looking back through the silence, he was screaming out for help Maybe this verse can find the words to get the demons out himself So yeah, I'm exercising Right now my record climbing, I'm sort of a stair master Niggas got there faster, I took the long route, I never been a scared rapper Boy this aint fear factor, ay tell me can you hear the wrath spillin out these paragraphs Made the world clear a path Bet I'll be on top from now till the hereafter I'm special, mama told me I was special Mama told me I was special Know I love her for that chorus I'm special, mama told me I was special Mama told me I was special Know I love her for that That's right I'm special Mama told me I was special Mama told me I was special Know I love her for that Know I love her for that verse 3 Tell me, what's the marketing plan for realness What's the demographic target audience for brilliance What's the first week numbers for my inspiration Who can a&r this passion and this dedication name Omen, this aint a verse, its a revelation We need some more Sanaa Lathan's in our population I'm meeting women I would never date The kind that say they want a marriage but they really want a wedding day I'm seeing groupies tryna act like they don't notice me But the writings on the wall call it hoetry Desire calls but that's not what my focus be Music's forever my lady unlike Jodeci See when a leaders speaking you should simply follow suit I stay in the zone like it's college hoops, let me show you how to shoot You know aim for the goal, these are just the chronicles They calling me the honorable, though I am not no muslim I'm finna blow like woodwinds, tricky like a good sin I'm something you've mistooken, mistaked him for fakeness Haters don't know what you facing Oh goodness, oh gracious They looking at greatness chorus

Will I ever be, all that I say? Will I ever see, all that I claim? Will I ever show, all that I know? Lord will I grow? Lord will I know? I move for the love of the people Wit' a flow that a kill the club like E2 No disrespect intended sweater's vintage, holla back blessed ridiculous check's with interest gotta stack Mo' dollas Rhode scholar 4.0 flow I got mo' soul than old timers I been scheming since I was breathing I been dreaming since I was semen Been a fiend since I was teething Started with the failure for dreams I had with Spalding Landed rock bottom but still feel like i'm falling It's never me but all my peers be ballin' Why it seem like all of my enemies get applauded? I'm better than the veterans I'm better than you ever been Don't even mention no rookies No sweat I'm so ahead of them Catch me in that Letterman With Dopart lettering etch me as heaven sent I boguard settling I take mine I created my own lane through the grape vine I'm creating my own change I done lost everything in my life only thing left to do is to gain through the strife though the pain like a knife I lost my hoop dreams Thinking that i'm bi-polar filled with mood swings I done lost my job I done lost my squad I done lost my girl i done lost my world All I got left is my art and my goals and my heart somewhere lost in the dark and its cold Raised in a set full of sharks in the Go' Where the sparks finna blow and the narcs wanna roll They sharpening blow Now i'm hearing shots targeting O' you wanna send shots? Well I can be your basket case please don't awaken the beast I've cast away He'll smash your face Mayne, I aint never had a plan B But you better get you a plan Z You understand me? A vigilante I'm upping the ante Mind like an antique And all of this time I was just delayed because I was afraid till the only thing flowing through my veins was the pain Afraid of my failure Afraid of success But don't pray for me Just pray for the rest. Dreamville. Afraid of Heights. Am I free?

Ceremony verse 1 The neighborhood ball player Quiet was shy around them girls Who knew that he would fly around the world I never crawled for nobody see I did a lot of baby steppin I came a long way from 87th I'm with some pretty girls chilling out in Sweden, out in Paris Thinking, do I deserve all of these blessings I inherit? I’ve seen a lot in my life the kind of things make you rewind twice Now its lime light but wait you see something is missing Let me tell you bout' this juxtaposition I’m on tour chillin, chiefing with ? My rent due back home, I had to call my mama i guarantee this changes your perception See yall ain’t really got a clue fans coming to my shows with more money than i do And it really gets no realer than that Gotta know i’m fearless now if i’m giving you that Chorus I need a ceremony I need a ceremony cause I done came a long way With even further to go but before i finish a show I think i need a ceremony, i need a ceremony Cause I done came a long way But even further to go but before i finish a show verse 2 Somebody tell me what’s confidence without belief? What’s a city full of gangs left without a chief? thanking God I made it this far I have overcome the undertaking Came through the storm but another one's awaiting Under dog love from fans hoping they ain’ t traitors Turn around a year from now with comments full of hatred I’ve seen it happen before so if i got it face it I’m ready I’m still looking for miss right Or at least miss night for the right Nobody knows what this life is like Family functions friends weddings are sacrificed All just to write and recite some words on the mic But this is all i got and this is all I have I let my work and my craft speak on my behalf A Southside Chi-City boy, its my testimony I think it’s time we had a ceremony, I need a ceremony Hey hey cause i done came a long way But even further to go but before i finish a show I think i need a ceremony
