Just a young dreamchaser, around school he's pretty meek That shit done put me through hell more and more each week Now I'm bustin right through it, and although I don't gotta prove shit I'm showing all you losers that I can really do this Started out amateur, still feeling amateur But now I got the nine and my favorite manager We bout to go big, pretty soon, just wait Stripes Solid - SolidDolphins finna be a must-play Hard with the spaceship, hearts is racin First you call me basic, now you ain't say shit Music gods, praise this, beat has been laced with Subliminal faces, the lyrics is chaser Are you out of your fucking mind? Do you know what I put into this? The work and the time? By now I figured that my destiny would be mine But it all depends on what people think of my rhymes But my music ain't just rhymes, it's got the soul and the realness Where's the lonely people at? I know you lovely spirits feel this All I ask is for you to flip on your speakers As the beat gets shorter, my mentality gets weaker Only thing keeping me living is the music The lyrics, the treble, the bass, it all muses I'm just confused with, what the fuck to do Should I take my time, or should I just rush it through? This life is only handed to us once So don't bite the hand that feeds you or you will die when that hand wants So many people take shit for granted Well I take what I can get and what I'm meant to be handed This life ain't a joke although some prove differently They walk around with regret like, whoa, are you kidding me? No remorse in this course of life Whatever I am and whatever happens is alright There's no modifications to your daily complications You just gotta learn from mistakes, stop tryna change it You can say I've fucked up a good amount But there's no use tryna get it back or hiding in self-doubt Because without our faults and our flaws No one would strive to be better and this life would be a loss You gotta be all you can be And only change for yourself, don't change for me If people ain't down with your lifestlye, please forget em If they're telling you what to do, you better get to dippin Because I don't wanna live in a world where it's okay To worry about how others' should act and forget your poor ways Maybe it's just me or each generation is more twisted If you ain't fit in, leave or fit the definition Or fix it, that's how people think and it's fucked up Nobody wants to be themselves and I've had enough I'm pursuing happiness, leaving this forsaken planet And if it ain't change in a decade, then please, god, damn it!

Flying out the fucking Earth, nothing's gonna stop me I'll be amongst the stars while you're in hell rotting You humans are like scanners because all you do is copy Another to fall victim to your stystem? Well it's not me I'm probably the only one left with opinion One jock takes a fad and proceeds to preach his minions What happened to the heart and being who you wanna be? I've given up, I've made my choice, goodbye world, I'm gonna leave Bust and flee this forsaken planet Fend off any hostility with these four, clay cannons You're lame, now can it, not taking shit from you earthlings (You can label me conscious) But that really does irk me! Detour me? No, this been my dream for years If you ain't scared to test my talent, I'll redeem your fears Countdown initiated, S.S. Dolphin Fuck the expression, I'm flying away from my problems Such a relief, the whole universe to explore I got the stars, the galaxies, all I need and more Make friends with the martians, pay for spaceship parking Where's the space cafe? That flight got me starvin The very best part is, no more people watching The only voices I'll hear will be the martians and my walkman No more judgmental fuckers lurking on each movement If you ask me, this journey will be quite the improvement

We're so rad, we're nomads, of the starry skies And if we crash there is a very small chance that we will cry Stripes and Stein planning on dying outside the trophosphere Forever explore galaxies cuz actually we're known frontiers Yes, I'm cool again, placing bets on Tatooian At the pod race with Jabba gambling on who will win And afterwards, when I step up into the cantina It will be very similar to me stepping in an arena We bout that fight life Knocking Greedo cold on his feet until he need a night light I'm like, the center of this universe's limelight A 15 year old spitting gold, who can fucking rhyme tight (Yeesh, he sounds cocky) What you expect, who gon stop me? You can call me sargeant, I'm ahead of this martian posse Watch me barrel roll through the game like Star Fox I spit clean, I'm spotless, the competition got small pox
4.
Just a kid with a dream and I'm tryna go places The kinda places that I can venture to in a spaceship I'm out of this world, not your ordinary teenager And I'm passin up these MC's like I'm Speedracer Not a green chaser, just a planet pursuer My sounds provoke pleasuring positions like karma sutra Not new to the game, but this my first official Sick like Tuburqulosis cuz it's in my initals TB, remember me, I'll aways be here to stay Rebellious teen cuz they don't care what we say So Imma start actin up and pursue this rappin stuff So when I attack rough, competition's like that's enough Every time I speak up, they just gimme mean mugs Actin like, "you need us" and their bullshit jesus Fuck religion, fuck race, fuck hate, and fuck you Tryna keep me close minded that's not what I'm gon do My goals as a musician? Make others happy Give others the oppurtunity that I wasn't grabbing Now I'm all depressed, and slowly turning to a mess But the music help me escape from the school and the stress I strive to be the best but I'm not sure why I make music for myself and you too if you like At school I'm not even relevant, I'm just there for the hell of it Too shy to go and tell kids about music I welded But nothing's gonna stop me Keep grindin, tryna find my spot in the top three Do you not see the shit I've accomplished as a youth My rhymes deserve royalty like spittin out a golden tooth You know dude, I deserve this shit the most Been puttin in work since three years ago Never gettin boxed in, I always find my way out Every single word is original that come out this mouth
5.
Welcome to my lyrical paradise Where the rhymes that I spit hit to fearable farenheits But it's all love, I ain't here to talk my shit I'm here to make the rap game exact opposite Pause and listen to the rhythm Surround the crowd with so many bars, they'd think they're in prison I dreamt up a fantasy several years ago To hop up in the rocket and cure my woe And any motherfucker tryna set me on detour I'm back on track and after that for sure, you'll see fewer Of these whack tryna tell me how to live my life Grab 'em by the forehead and kiss 'em goodnight Head in the clouds, precipitation rather loud Brainstorming and in doubt, will I find my way out? Only one way, and that way is the light Today's a new day, and it's lookin' quite bright Get the fuck up off your ass bitch Local producers used to not want to work with me It's like "goddamn, it's not like you was gettin' currency?" But they ain't worth my speech, I kept workin' hard Locked up every day in my room with beats insertin bars I've made it thus far, I ain't finna turn back See all the progress I've made? Motherfucker, I earned that And I ain't even halfway, still workin with the lightweights Youth with ambition, I got the trigger, I won't hesitate Locked and loaded, cocked and sploded, all over the fuckin' room It's seeping through the door, it wants more, you better listen to The man with no plan but still working his way up And they gon praise us, I'm hurting all you lame fucks I'm dangerous, styles of rhyme technique is treachorous I've never fit in, but I can force it like tetris The best is, the slept on, but I'm gonna try and change that Let's wake up, you see all this whack? I detain that

I spit that lyrical, fourteen year old miracles Eat MC's for cereal, and spread my steez imperial You were cool like, a year ago And when I play, embrace the bass when you hear it blow I'm smearin foes, they still drippin like wet paint #1 rookie and I'm here to play my best game The next name to come through and fly out the ball park I'm the new dope to roll up before y'all spark The drums have gone missing but my flow sure hasn't Number one rapper who is still a backpacker All the others jabber tryna get a full platter They starve, not gettin fatter and they still soundin whacker Saltine cracker but my flow could get real dark I am not Asher, I roll smooth on go-kart MadMurderz, just in case you ain't heard of Her words bring back the drums and purge you nerds on purpose Bringing back the old school, spit fire on you cold fools Spittin out a gold tooth, my every move controls you Just feel the flow groove, continue to ride Pop lyrical .9s, and turn the beat raw hide My lucky number's seven so I live and let die My style feel sorta like when a jet flys When I'm down in Cali, I left my flow shine Wait, no, I lied, I do that all the time Once again, we got them fiends rushin in I'll clutch the mic again but sorry if I offend Control you like Pikmin, I'm movin Hocotate Freight MadMurderz on my tape, that's a lot on my plate Also produced by Blvnc, he the magic behind it And we hit ya so fast that ya had ta rewind it From this light, you're blinded, but that's just a side effect I need a translator, they can't handle lyrical diallect
7.
You can be a fucking lame Or you can listen to some Solid Teenager taking over the game Shout his name like DJ Khaled Fuck school I got a room Witta mic in it Got a based bitch tied up And she ain't fightin it I'm likin it Yes the beat so crisp I spit peas and carrots Like I spit witta lisp The number one most hated Number two emancipated The first is Detox But we ain't never gonna play it Did he just say it? Yes he did No shots fired at Dre, though Man, I just kid I gotta release this shit pretty soon Or else I'm gonna pronounce doom And send myself to hell It's been too long, like what, four months Sorry for the wait Excuse me just this once You can have it this way You can have it that way You can have it your way I'm gon' have it my way Who the fuck is he, why he spit so dope? His lyricalamity give other MC's no hope I should be charged for lyrical manslaughter I look innocent on the surface but you ain't see in the water I'm the Midnight Marauder, I kidnap your daughter Take the bitch down to Barber and tell her to paddle harder Anyone plug me in ain't listen for a short way You could be cool but you can have it your way
8.
Ultraviolet lights, expose all the fuckin white Drippin from my jeans, you ain't seen the shit we do at night Takin flight, pickin fights with anyone who tryna bite Prophecy is what I write and what I'm takin is ya life Don't fuck it us Bitchmade motherfuckers get blown to dust S-O-L-I-D we L-I-V-E Errbody flee, we on that ultraviolet spree We came through mobbin, got your daughter's heart throbbin If she stop screamin and sobbin that might resolve our problems Embody her throat with toxins now she nauseous and it's awesome How we stompin competition and cloggin the shit they talkin You rap hobbits swallow my cock and hop in your coffins That I pre-ordered from Gotham with top notch cataloguin Twist the door knob and proceed to hit Rock Bottom As I shock the squad with hot bars I pulled outta my pocket Smack a whack if he ever after my stash Of lyrical hash and verbal crack manufactured by my past I'm fuckin rad, master the craft that most you fools lack It's sad this lame chatter is named pastor of this rap I'm in the passenger laughin because the back's inhabited By bad bitches passin out from the grass that they been draggin I make the game lag, crashin all you lame fags So stay back, 'cause I ain't one to let the grave slack
9.
As I delve gradually to deeper waters With hopes I might cross paths with Poseidon's pretty daughter Blowin bubbles out the reef because I've gotten to a depth That if I tried to breathe in I surley might meet my death Never fret, just head straight, forget the surface Pondering on if dying in paradise would be worth it I came here to be alone and seek out treasure Whether it's now or never, I wanna shine in my endeavors A bit under the weather, I literally can't see the clouds But too late now, I'm already deep down Every sight I witness is incredibly majestic I'm passin through a coral reef and it seems infested With life more gorgeous than what you see on land Everything's so much better with the water and the sand Damn, I wanna spend my life in this aquarium And that just might happen if I don't escape delirium Look at the shark He's getting near to me He ain't fearing me What do I do? He's getting closer I just wanna make friends, why don't we be friends? I say hello to the shark, even if he ain't friendly If he try and swallow me up, it won't offend me Fish are friends, not food, come swim, do not be rude See the mermaids? Them broads is god awfully cute I'm thinkin of approachin em, that's the nice thing to do They can take me on a journey, and sing to me too She wanna be part of my world But you ain't know what's going on on the surface, baby girl There's a reason I swam to the deep in an impulse Every landlubber is a sheep and simple And as I further my journey, I get closer To the beautiful heavens of the planet Earth's ocean I can feel the notion that things are getting bright I can't tell on the surface if it's day or if it's night But here's my discovery, a beautiful blank canvas Here I thrive in the abandoned Atlantis No one's here Just me and the fish And that's how I like it No one's here Just abandon ship It's all mine Today we shine Never experienced awesome Until you experience SolidDolphins

Not sure what option to choose And I'm feeling pretty loose since I escaped the noose Of a clear mindstate, get higher than empire state And I feel wide awake as I sit and watch the light fade Wide awake? Wait, I musta said that wrong Because I'm dozin and I'm sinking to the beat of this song Sink, sink to the bottom of a fully full cloud Voices in my head startin to get a lil loud Please, shut the fuck up, I'm tryna be decisive If I should just shut off or stay up tryna fight it Heavier gets my eyelid, what am I to do Heading to a sun so red from a planet so blue I'm talking Neptune, fuck Earth and what ya heard I left long, long ago, took flight like a bird And as my brain attempts to function, I am stuck in comet junction I am high off of life, taking heavy consumptions
11.
Drop lyrical acid and walk on the sunshine If you ain't had it I suggest try it one time Drop lyrical acid and trot across the sun rays If you ain't had it, I suggest try it one day Gotta place on the sun, if you want, you can come stay There's no exit, but, you can find some way There's no cure for this unearthly addiction But that's how I like it, I don't live how it's written I go with the flow, make snap-decisions Head into the light and dismiss suspicion And since I'm feeling lonely Maybe you could visit The sun's always glowing So you can't miss it I gotta lot of room One guest won't hurt So before you wallow in gloom Just try it first and What's this I see? A shooting star filled with mystery It can't end in misery, only serendipity The alien light sheds off new hope Excitement bubbles, it moves to slow It radiates frontier and a bit of destiny Such a feeling I must just set it fee My fists in the air, shout for joy This will enhance the way I enjoy Hey, I'm floating 'round space Excuse me, but, what's that I hear? This glorious sound inside my ear It sounds like it is coming near Anticipate no time for fear I've been going insane, baby Once you leave the trophosphere, there is no time for looking back I'm soaring through, I'm almost there, look at the sun, I'm cookin fast So much space and so little time, we can change that in just a couple Why don't you join me, sit and dine, thank you for coming, sorry for your trouble
12.
Empire gunfighter, take you down with fly desire Strip you down right to the wire, shoot you down in my starfighter Hip-hop's epic poet writer, turn a hype into a cryer Phil don't think we can get much higher, hold up, Mad, pass the lighter I'm going all in like it's ya bitches birthday It's the critics' worst day, murder with the wordplay You motherfuckers think you got essence? I make MC's feel distress and they drop they weapons I'm the illest, call that shit a double sneeze Baseball bat the rap game, watch me bust a couple knees Rubble steez, turn ya empire to ruins Rappers tryna take me to school, but I remain truant Nine motherfuckers in ya whole damn area Hit you witta spade and use the same one to bury ya You can't touch us, man, we loud with the hammers Empire IX, read our names on the banner Fuckin awesome, fuckin dolphin, Solid as a rock Lyrical 9 is what I cock, in a ski-mask with Tubesock They do stop when we come around, they come in If somebody think they better then the Empire is summoned We riding round town, me and Turt got yo bitch If the bitch bout to snitch, we keep her as a dinner dish If you tryna act tough, we end that in a second Put me in the honor rolls if you wanna test it
13.
I've dreamt about this since I was rocking training wheels Scoping out the industry, before I came, I aim to kill Place the bodies in my fanbase While I continue to rock venues 'til the crowd can't stand straight I am fate, motherfucker, mapping out whacks' destinies Never drop a greatest hits, you'll always see the best of me I'm in the clouds, causing thunder, wait 'til the lightning strikes Even when I got my fangs, watch a hype try to bite, I might smite Nawh, fuck that, I'm going to I could ruin your shitty life without even knowing you Proceeding to crush careers like Coke cans Then chuck 'em in the canyon my flow is so grand But any way, I'll be on my classics like any day Just loading up the clip, releasing lyrical semi-spray Hemingway, poetic with the urban noise Back the fuck up, oh, you heard him, boys
