[LAYIN]' tha [GROUNDWORK]...

As with every mixtape, or album I start... I always write out the titles first to the songs. Its a backwards process, but yet I feel more at ease when I do this. I decided to name this project, "Believe in Make Believe" because make believe isn't just your imagination, or fantasy. Sometimes, make believe is the IMPOSSIBLE... the UNKNOWN even. If you believe in that, then you can believe in anything. So here's the tentative tracklisting:

  1. Grand Introduction
  2. Dynamik's in the House
  3. Who Dat
  4. Exhibit N
  5. Light Up
  6. Making of A Legend
  7. Aint Nothing on Me
  8. On
  9. Weak
  10. Going In For Life
  11. TeeTee's Interlude
  12. Fall For Your Type
  13. Regret
  14. The Declaration
  15. .... at 1st Sight
  16. Make Believe

[ALARM] Clock [RENDEZVOUS]

The way I feel... Is something real...
Its not your hair, it ain't your clothes, I'll just say its your APPEAL
This thing I'm feeling, the things I'm saying...
All just happened, tell me what can I do to make you stay?
The suns about to rise and there's color to the sky
But girl, I just don't want you to leave...
You say you ain't that type, so lets just do it right
But damn girl, I don't wanna leave you.
Can I hear you say my name? Again...
Can I ask if you feel same? I ain't come to play no games...
There's nothing left here for us to say...
But come right here and put your bag down...
Show me that lingerie and twirl around...
Turn the lights off, but keeps those heels on
Tonight is ours and its ours alone...
Lean closer to my ear, and tell me everything you want me to hear
Let me lay your body down... let your body do the talking
I know this is a dream, but this ain't something that we do often
I know its getting late...

Ring Ring... let the alarm sound
Tonight girl, imma lay your body down...
And I know imma wake up late
But baby, you and I we got a date...
So let it [Ring Ring] let it [Ring Ring]
Baby don't you worry bout a thing
Go and let it [Ring Ring] let it [Ring Ring]
I'll worry bout the consequences, baby imma make your body sing...
Don't worry bout the repercussions, baby imma make your body sing
You can cum, you can arrive... I ain't stopping till I cant close my eyes...

The Resistance 2.0

[N]
Hello world... I'm just... goin thru things...
Imma just get it all out there...
Had to steal this one from Drizzy
I'm sippin wine and drinking beer right now...
So forgive me...
Matter fact... I dont really care...
Here I go!

[N]
Should I just escape to PS?
That's Palm Springs for the ones thats ever made it.
I'm stuck in living in moments with no one here to share it
I mean where do I begin
Alcohol makes the memories faded, I hardly relate to my niggas home
Cause they never made it
So here I am... still here in the same place I started in
They say start your life... but not where it ends.
I dial numbers late... I hear the voicemail again
I be talking to myself... self-converstation
I'm almost 23, but niggas think I got a money tree.
They just want to spread it around... Najee Appleseed
Its like no one wants a part of me.
The picture on facebook is the only thing they see
It's happening all it once, like Perry said.
I just wonder should I avoided the right way and went left instead
I'm tryna do better than good enough...
But these thoughts wont ever let up...

[Chorus]
What am I afraid of?
This is what dreams are supposed to be made of
The people I don’t have time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same sh-t
"You promised me you would never change"
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh
"You promised me you would never change"
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh

[N]
Am I wrong for hiding my situation
Especially when TIP got something for me sip on
They say that I'm on, so the problem is to stay on
But I aint tryna stay long..
Just get a plate from the buffet on...
I heard for three weeks my mom aint had the water on
And I be actin like I dont know how to work a phone
But go thru my recent call log
and you'll see that I'll call girls that I barely want at all
I keep wondering who's gonna be the first to get it
When will I finally be accepted?
I couldnt tell you the fuck my head is
Cause niggas at work be making my life hectic
Its like holding on by a thread...
its like I'm high right now
Almost a year but I feel like rolling a plane right now
Look in my eyes, you'll see nothing is a surprise right now.
Cause I'm supposed to be living the life right now...

[Chorus]
What am I afraid of?
This is what dreams are supposed to be made of
The people I don’t have time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same sh-t
"You promised me you would never change"
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh
"You promised me you would never change"
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh

[N]
My sister Facebooked me and asked why I dont like or care about her.
Kinda shocked me because in all honesty I forgot about her.
Which makes me question when did I go missing...
Should go to the ending or start at the beginning
Am I really treatin my friends different?
Maybe the Marine Corps sped the pace up
Or the alcohol that I drink cant keep my face up
Maybe the girl I cared about wont pick the fucking phone up
And finish a conversation that she fuckin started up
I know, but at the same time I forget
Listenin to Drizzy, bout to roll a blunt with a list of regrets
Burn baby burn, its hard to start fresh
If i ever get it right then I probably guessed
Did I trade my free time for Uncle Sam's time
Will I pull a Cobain... and blow my mind?
The door's open, but a nigga need closure...
Aint no comin out though, I'm in it til its over...

cabin[FEVER]

[N]
Yeah...
You already know what it is...
Quick something...
I dont even know what ima say first...

[N]
Black hat, black chucks, with some straight legs on...
Once said I love H.E.R, but she dont answer the phone...
They say I'm in love... that I can't let go of my past chicks...
Let her out the house and imma leave wit your chick
Wake up and go to sleep to Cali every night
I dont got everything I want tho so it aint life
Keep thinking bout the days I used to break down weed and make planes
Its funny how a couple months changes everything...
Been here so long, I picked up Wiz Khalifa's flow...
Roc Boys, Taylor Gang... yupp, still the same tho....
Alcohol leave my mouth with no taste...
The Naj from yesterday is just a cold case
Simple hoes whisper in my ear how they can take her place
Braggin how they can throw it back, and they throw me face
Cooped up in my room, cabin fever drivin me insane...
I think the walls are talking, but the conversation aint the same...
Niggas see the gear and give me dap like they fans...
I dont even stunt, mentality like I'm the man...
Hella cig smoke, a lot of pics taken...
I say I'm from GUYANA, hoes swear I'm jamaican...
I try not to talk much, cause too many listening
Not guilty, but I'm swear not innocent...
Cabin fever got a nigga hallucinating...
I think the walls are talking... maybe thats her voice again...

[N]-Talking
Yeaaaahhh Bitch!
That's my Wiz Khalifa impersonation...[laughs]
Niggas know... Taylor Gang, rain, sleet or snow... them hoes run in they best clothes!
Shoutout to Cobain! I see you nigga!
I told you, i aint even know what I was gonna say...
This aint even make sense to me...
Cabin fever...
We gone.

TeeTee's [INTERLUDE]...


"...Cause when you start to [LAUGH]... Sayin I just [WANT] what I can't [HAVE]..."

"She Don't Wanna Man... She Just Wanna Dance..."

I know alot of niggas was wondering where I was going with the [OVER]time blog. And to be honest, I was too. I actually like that poem [Not saying that I didn't like it] and I thought it went straight to the point. But in all reality, it was more of a DISTRESS call, then a poem. Like "HEY! LOOK AT ME!" An attention grabber if you will. I just wanted to be noticed. Did it work? IDK, it remains to be seen. Sometimes, I feel like in most situations when you meet someone or decide to start something... You wonder what they really WANT. Are you that SOMEBODY? [RIP AALIYAH] or just the flava of the week? You gotta ask yourself that. Because when you feeling somebody, like really diggin em', them unanswered texts and that straight to voicemail shit don't cut it jack. I told someone [who I will hold in privacy] that I was gonna ask the voicemail voice to marry me, cause I hear her voice rather than the one I actually WANNA hear. Was I joking? Kinda. That shit gets annoying. Okay you at work? Tell me. You busy? Tell me. Don't wanna talk to me? Why am I even talking to you anyway? But still, TELL ME! It's like damn. I can only understand so far until my mind plays tricks on me and I'm like THIS close to reenacting that telephone scene from "The Wackness" [Great movie.]

Most girls I meet and I know don't actually know what they want. They have a man just to have em'. Cause the shit is cool... Or that they never really went without one. That just dooms the relationship. Its unfair to you and him. Fellas, before you start applauding... We do the same shyt too! [slowly raise my hand] I just think that before the numbers are exchanged, or maybe during the first phone conversation [right after the 3rd "So what you doing?" and preferably before "So whats good for tonite?"] decide what you want. Put all the cards on the table. The shit helps. Because you never know... that girl may not wanna man. She just wanna dance. [Word to Asher Roth]

[OVER]time

As the seconds starts to wind down on the clock...
I wonder if I have the chance to put up a last shot
Should I call timeout and bring it to half court?
Or should I inbound it for a runner just to watch it fall short?
Uh, I can't believe I've went three quarters wit you
You done put me in a position where everythings new.
Once, you were on my team playing pick and rolls wit the back screens
Now you on the opposing side playing zone and puttin me in a double team.
And that's what happens when you face a formidable opponent
Who knows all your moves and dares you to score it.
Who just aint gon let you get them easy baskets
they gon push, they gon pull until you decide to shoot or pass it.
I could easily pull a Kobe and save the day...
Or be like Vince at the free throw line and throw it all away
This begs a question, who wants it more?
Does winning it all tastes better to a previous winner then a someone who's never won it before?
Whoa, if we askin that, I'll say that its the latter
Because I want it more than before, not cause I won it after.
I want it so much that I can taste it
I only stumbled before because I didn't realize what I was faced with...
But now I'm back tryna score with a vengeance
Voice mails when I call plays a great defense
Text msgs unanswered, how can I draw a play for this?
Your play is making me foul out, i'm here defenseless...
How can I score, when I'm not even on the court?
I can't trust my reserves to hold down the fort
So with 5 fouls, and 10 seconds left to go
I'ma leave it all to chance and go wit my last resort
I'ma dribble this up court and pull up for a three... and watch em all go for it
But ima head fake and throw the ball the out of bounds
And look up at the crowd who's all riddled with surprise...
Its better to head to the locker room with the score tied.
I guess we'll just have to settle this in overtime...
