Lacey 03:47
[Verse 1] A masterpiece the masters peace I craft with ease A lasting piece of magic themes This Lacey talk like laser beams got lasting scars I'm ripping words and tearing seems The things I've seen they gotta be Only in this rainy state I don't wanna stay and wait Depression from the gray sky's brings in sin or suicide So it's do or die Well at least that's how I see it Because the sin how you treat it but my folks don't need to know that My girl way down in Texas so really she can't hold me back This city's mine you just witness the take over These girly's with make overs hardly will stay sober and I love it It's evergreen and ever scene Because every scene girl that I've seen loves the black in me And I'm smoking niggas they call me black and mild Or swisher sweet talker with how I speak young boys meek with a sleek tongue let me speak Breath let me think let me sink Let me sing We need communication in this world love I'm sorry that I'm caught up in this world love But this world love fit on me like a glove I've learned well from my exes and the heat in Texas yeah it's all swell love I wanna thank you for the care love Take care love Mommie got me feeling like bino I got cool probably Because the Internet l started playing their games taking baby steps *beep* asking why I ain't get you faded yet Smooth them theater kids can get that good good I was trying mess around and give that good wood Talk dates with the girls that you dream of and turn and ask your new girl to the bleachers I'm just saying This is what Lacey may have done to me My life was harder than it had to be And actually I'm falling victim of these consequences Look at how my faith is missing all the folks I'm dissing I'm feeling Diddy how I take that I'm trying to figure how long this grace last I feel the day crash Put my band in a coup Really trying to ball without a hoop Trying to give them more of me like Jodice But nobody wins It's all right let this music take control of me Talking no friends No friends I'm talking no ends oh man Cobain if I stay in But I wanna be famous If I stay here mercy and grace say I'm blameless Is this what my faith is Man I'm so faithless

Yelm Highway 03:28
[Verse 1] I feel a lot of the heat All this rain on my head man I'm better off dead Man better off with my thoughts and some headphones Playing Andy Mineo bumpin' "Formally Known" That's so proper Pass a Chevron and stop to get a doctor Keep me in a 'Zona Few people that I know really wanna Chill with the kid and get him high now I'm just trying to get by now This school life is a mess Barely have the care to pass a test The longer that I'm here I'm only giving less Boy that's real I ain't really have a teacher that I feel Could teach me much I knew a few girls on the bus that could teach me lust if I listen And I'm trying to hustle with these beats and such Me and my parents ain't really speaking much So the music is how I keep in touch with my feelings I just really hope I reach the millions What I need this little schooling for A lot of its bore A lot is nothing more than a popularity contest It's all non sense The way these kids act like its Life and death but neglect where there mind is Astrology ain't a science But we reading stars Scared to face where we are Treat this walk like a bar [Hook] She said she never wants me to leave I told her that I ought to just go She told me all I need was tree Then I could feel her soul (light it up) I told her that I need some peace She told me that it's easy to find Just follow me down to the gray And baby I can ease your mind (let me ease your mind) [Verse 2] I've grown up I've grown up with all this passion Because no one is understanding Live life for just the moment These t-line kids know the saying My class is so close knit I don't know if I'll be in And what's worst is if I give All of me then I lose myself To all these kids who just play with all their goals The weed is just the devil who offered them a whole New perspective on life all they have to do is sell their soul And they don't get it They swear they're living But what's worst is I tend to agree I mean I started talking like them intentionally And interestingly enough I'm fallin' for some traps they set up I guess I'll go big or go bust I know the bible says my feelings I shouldn't trust Because they might lead me astray Well they're gonna lead me today Why I got all these feelings man just leave me to play Because computer screens really might be the death of me And Kendrick got me tempted by the recipe Really want the weather sex and the weed Really wanna forget the world around me All of these gray skies get to me I don't want the sympathy I just want to feel alive again I'm tired of this playing this long game of pretend [Hook] I said i never want to leave She told me that I never should go just go She told me all I need was tree Then I could feel her soul (light it up) I told her that I need some peace She told me that it's easy to find Just follow me down to the gray And baby I can ease your mind

[Verse 1: D.O.P.E] Cash in my hand taking bill selfies March Madness balling like Bill Self's team All these people tripping they like Grayson Allen Ryan heard my verse and he said "grace em Dallen!" They don't want us to win Got the Snapchat key to success and I went in I don't need a DJ to play my song, I got the King Khaled And I'm talking Jesus, he's eternal, that's the meaning And I'm fiending for the limelight to quench my thirst But it taste like cocaina and will put you in the dirt So I stick with the Weird Kids, like I'm a reject But he's a jerk, so I just reject New Boyz on the block, yea we hot I spit fire like I'm spewing molten rock I shake the Earth but I swear it's not my fault Can't wait for y'all to feel the aftershock [Verse 2: Walker1ofGod'sKids] My life was an eight mile cipher in my tribe With my dog the pied phipher like Mekhi I always had the king the mufasa of my pride He who helped me through the journey and the scars in my life He taught me on the other side the grass is always greener And your girl won't be fly until after you leave her Only hindsight and TV shows is 20/20 When you stand in God we trust then you know you're on the money Devil took me to the summit show me all his kingdoms Try to get me trade my crown in for his fiefdom Fall/ from this high place why when I levitate Heaven's sake run it like a candidate Everything you got and you plan to take I want it uh uh I want it all Every little thing you ever stole When He made my bro you know He broke the mold Until we hear and do everything we're told [Verse 3: Joseph Ibarra] Now who gonna stop me when I free flow You couldn't touch me like I'm shooting free throws These boys are living foul and I'm on top of it The culture needs a couch and I am Popavich I'm too legit to quit this MC is a hammer Couldn't handle grammar or stick with my stamina boys an animal Gnaw like jaws and emcees are shark bait And your going to see I'm about my business like Shark Tank Better have your hopes float because if your heart sinks You could drown up in these verses that I work with You got caught up in the circus of a word smith Clown around and i'll bring death to the flesh with my worship I'm Stephen King with the ink pen to this genre Playing IT the killer clown better yet I am a monster Better yet I'm ogre in the army of Jehovah Making footstools out the enemy of the cobra Spirit led let me show you where I'm at fam I'm consumed by the ghost like I'm Pac-Man That's Game Over [Verse 4: Elijah Wiggins] Study my verses Leave you in hearses Rehearse this behind red curtains wrote it in cursive We working | young word smith killing these birds with a smile I guess I outta just quit before this gifted lyricist forgets he's on a mission Forgive him for he know not what he do They say it's cool to play the fool | So I studied Heath Ledger Studying for no failure But I ain't down with a broke back crew Fam you go do you Just leave me out of your mouth I'm from south so you know we steady wrangle dude Feels like I invented a culture Childish Gambino in a casino where talents are a currency And currently I don't see any dudes compared to me I don't see anyone take the care as me I do right and kill everything And when I say everything I mean it for your clarity Verily they act like I ain't scary please I can sense the jealousy That's blessings on my blessings on my blessing My girl got a business and she walking in her blessings And I kept saying that I wasn't going to bless them But these fish really need to learn a lesson This is my common excellence Know enough to be reverend but don't worry bout it This ain't important for this record Maybe later we can chop it up Milk to meat no ambassador Nobody wreck a beat as bad as us Me myself and I are just some regulars Arkham Asylum really trying to mess us up Stop before you mess it up What you mean ain't nobody trying check for us Check us up That's all I got

Red Curtians 04:24
[Verse 1: Elijah Wiggins] If you're so in love with me then you should show it I hear how you've been quoting all these poets And I write songs to chill all this depression I guess I'm too scared to learn my lessons Skype dates don't really feel the same no more I guess you don't feel the same no more Feels like we don't talk everyday no more That's why I'm just headed out the door [Hook: Elijah Wiggins] Red curtains in my room show off the passion You've been the reason I write ballads I hope that I don't fall all over you I hope I don't cry out over you (x2) [Verse 2: Elijah Wiggins] If you're so in love with me then you should show it Hard to believe that I could blow it And truth be told it started out as fun Why you lie and say that I'm the one Skype dates don't really feel the same no more I guess I became an older thought I got close but didn't open doors When I should've turned back to my God [Hook: Elijah Wiggins] Red curtains in my room show off the passion You've been the reason I write ballads I hope that I don't fall all over you I hope I don't cry out over you (x2) [Outro: Elijah Wiggins] A wise man told me that some fish choose their nets And to stress yourself out about a bass won't help your neck Keep you head up because there's fish in the sea that see The beauty that you can give them Easier said then done I'd rather run away Than face the day that I say that I'm wrong So until I have the guts to act out in songs Because one day you're bound to listen to me And truly I'll have a movie ending We deserve that Even if I don't believe it I'm sorry if you've ever felt mistreated in the least bit But that wasn't my intentions And really there is no reason that I kept you out my mention The Curtain fell too early Or maybe at the right time Because you didn't have the fight to keep the show going And it didn't fall slowly the curtains are soiled with the feelings of the actors That once performed on the stage

[Verse 1] I played love like a violin The violence is when I take my pen She fills it up trying to write no where to begin We were just friends (tell me you love me) She would tell me she wants me I would tell her she's lucky I told that girl to trust me Which was bad for her Half of my past was hid behind my vernacular It's lovely ain't it Poetry made my language Sound kinda Spanglish with some French added Her lips were magic Those hips had tragic Stories added which made me active Now baby has it Been forever since you've felt a kiss I guess you trying to redefine the kid Because my mind was defined by the stuff we did In my bedroom I guess I'm tellin' on the kid It's just easier to bid adieu if we just kickin' None of my business Just catch me sippin' some Lipton That was back when I was trying marry London Tipton And you was asking if I'd put the tip in [Hook] What's love what's love gotta do with anything Why you trying to wait for a diamond ring or designer things What's love what's love gotta do with anything Because baby I'm right here baby I'm right here [Verse 2] Got me caught up in the drama I'd never call her mamma but she called me daddy Told myself to comma just to be happy I end up replaying things that was said to me But that's just spelling out disasters Only way to block it is to shrug it off with laughter All the things that we've captured make me shutter I stutter to talk To find the words to say the game was all done in the dark I need it settled (you don't need to feel it right now) But I'll kiss those lips until it's figured out Say that we're in need of saving so I'm giving you that mouth to mouth My whole being is saying I should change the route Ms Scott said some words that got me in a zone But then she called me back and said now she feels alone It's kinda sad because now my heart is gone Who knew our feelings would make a perfect song [Hook] What's love what's love gotta do with anything Why you trying to wait for a diamond ring or designer things What's love what's love gotta do with anything Because baby I'm right here baby I'm right here [Bridge] Rock with me Come on take your time with me You don't need to make it deep Come on lady rock with me [Hook] What's love what's love gotta do with anything Why you trying to wait for a diamond ring or designer things What's love what's love gotta do with anything Because baby I'm right here baby I'm right here [Verse 3] And I fall down on my pillow don't want my love to be waste Don't want my trust to be false that's what I cannot replace That's not the way we should play Maybe I play way to much I know you're trying to be cool But if you're really in love You should accept me for me I notice that that's hard for you Mommy's little did some things I'll never tell on you All the secrets that we had I swore I'd keep Even after you showed that you stopped loving me Or lusting me whatever I'm cheddar it's better late than never Whether or not the weather effected us Really has me waking up I'm not made of Forget my ranting and raving All the time that I'm saving All these things that I'm learning Can't make our future seem possible If a future seemed plausible well you could've fooled me I guess you choose the wrong tree but whatever If I catch you at one my shows Just know you're not the reason that the king got cold Because the Kings been bold let me not go down road With my lack of albums sold but when I get those downloads I'm gonna flaunt it in your face I'm the last man that you should've thought to replace ma And that's real If you think I'm in my feelings now Just wait til I'm really back in town

[Verse 1: Elijah Wiggins] Honda Civic Roll with my dudes in that family whip Dallen said we gotta get it Trying to get T-Line high without taken a hit Maybe you'd like my life My skeletons showing it's out of the closets Patting my wallet it's empty I need change AriZonas having been helping me think man No license it's insane My time here is ticking I feel like I'm slipping My girlfriend is wishing She'd leave me for new man So while I am snoozing My mind is just cruising til ghost I swear I'm doing the most That's how it goes You go play your roles I'm out with my weirdos Facing my fears close we talk like we heroes We zeros I know I can do way better It's hard out here when the weather change I know I can do way better Yeah, Here I Go [Chorus: D.O.P.E] As I'm rolling down balustrade ( Oh No No No) [Verse 2: Elijah Wiggins] I asked Jack if I could slip by She don't get high and I like that Her ex girl does but I don't mind that friendship So when I'm all alone I'll call them ladies up Trying to fill the void that I got Like it's not in God I trust That's a minor crutch A minor lust A minor pain I'm getting paid for showing up Waiting till the moments up Feeling my momentum crush Between the weight of the world Whirling thoughts got me feeling some type of way Walking home in the dark my parents sleep and I got school in the morning Only time I prayed was when I was walking alone and That's when I'm zoning I'm caught up in the moments In my mind Talk about the future and the time I hope that I could live before I die Talk to the man in the sky Like how I'm supposed to live a decent life When I'm scared to be alone Fine I'll trust as best I can its lip service I know you see the cross of my hand It's hard to be this Godly man Even though my whole life was part of the program But I slow dance with devil Holds hands with his demons Sinking to a new level I wish my head to be leveled before a coffin and shovel as I am [Chorus: D.O.P.E] As I'm rolling down balustrade ( Oh No No No)

[Intro] My sugar honey I think it's not good for you here No I'm not good for you here No I'm not good for you here [Verse 1] Baby you look so good tonight You see all of those lights aren't they flashing so bright Girl maybe you deserve so much more Than what I got in store You should run for the door [Hook] My sugar honey I think it's not good for you here No I'm not good for you here No I'm not good for you here My sugar honey I think it's not good for you here So just runaway please do not stay Cause I'm going to use you up [Bridge] When I get lost, feel I've been crossed She will be my salvation When I feel low, I've nowhere to go She'll be my inspiration [Verse 2] I'm so overwhelmed with all your patience I'm just glad you let me cross your mind I wish I would've let my God heal me Instead going to waste all of your time I'm not the best and I hurt you I know I'd say I'm sorry but that's not what you want maybe in the future it'd be alright I just keep on praying that you will have life And all of it will be better
10.
[Verse 1: Elijah Wiggins] I need that peace love Peace love I just need some time and space I just need a little grace I just need like all my thoughts tuck away That's why I pray My father please look down on your son tonight I don't do it all right I've been up like all night I just need you despite No I can't rewind the time but my eyes are getting hazy This world is still amazing For Pete's sake My keepsakes are mistakes I replay And these days No different from the last ones Moved back to the south to see my past ones They all swear they found a man showing passion Didn't realize it's synonymous with Latin It's my fault because mistakes I make I'm surprised my wrist have never met a razor blade But I'll always show you love I guess that's my saving grace While the curtains close I pour my heart out on the center stage Then you say [Chorus: Edward Wiggins] Just come in close You know that I never want to let you go You just need to know that I love you, I love you, I love you (x2) [Verse 2: Elijah Wiggins] Dreaming like I never dreamed before Plotting scheming how to know you more I'll hold the door I give you more I give you more The pastor saying that enough Is never quite enough I'm just trying to call the bluff But I'm failing I'm pushing up against the ceiling And it's breaking easily Unconditionally is how you love me How you love me I guess I'll never know The kind love that always brings the faith and hope I'm just trying to cope With the fact I left the fold The fact I didn't hold My head under the water Trying to figure how you still could be my father Because sir I've done dirt But you knew that I would Arms still open like you said that you would Go for the one And I am one and you showed that your good I guess now it's understood That's why you sent a savior That's why you've shown me favor You sent your word in flesh and paper Flesh and blood is how you change us Conversion not just make up [Chorus: Edward Wiggins] Just come in close You know that I never want to let you go You just need to know that I love you, I love you, I love you (x2)
11.
[Verse 1: Elijah Wiggins] I thought my testimony was less than holy Thought that I was less blessed than my homies just confessing only Before I left the city I was pretty church involved But then I met a girl who really kept me off of God So every turned made was harder than the next But I knew a little bit but I should've kept myself in check What I kinda think the problem was falling into lust and such Problematic poetry was written out of love Like out of love Meaning that I really lost my whole connection I'm thinking if I told a reverend we could've worked it out It's funny because I was basing most my religion off of word of mouth That's why it headed south And that's why I'm headed south Trying reconnect So I don't need a check I just want y'alls ears Trying save y'all from some real tears So let me make this clear [Chorus: Elijah Wiggins] Aye what it do Come and take a walk inside my shoes Come and see the things I've seen Hear the the things that heard and why I ran back to word To make it all alright [Verse 2: Elijah Wiggins] I thought my testimony was less than holy I thought that I was less blessed than my homies just confessing only When I left the city I got pretty prideful Now that I'm looking back I wish I stayed mindful of Subtly all these serpents in my tree Should've never dealt with eve Should've never felt her leaves Should've thought enough to leave I'm feeling like if I was as smart as I'd like to believe I would've Saw this all coming Instead now I'm steady running home Or away I don't know which one honestly All I know is that mistakes always follow me Guilty pleasure make my brain spin The same kid who taught kids how to live Needs a savior so with this pen and paper I'm writing out What I need Cutting down my trees Until the fall and all non sense leaves [Chorus: Elijah Wiggins] Aye what it do | come and take a walk inside my shoes | come and see the things I've seen | hear the the things that heard and why I ran back to word to make it all alright |

The Spin 03:16
[Intro:] I've been up and down but I ain't never seen the spin | x4 [Verse 1: Elijah Wiggins] Honda Civic whipping if I'm with my n-word Dallen (Yup) Working these late nights somebody call up Jimmy Fallon Making all these hits but really I ain't even counting Ones about to blow I'm bout to hire an accountant Midnight Tribe and WeirdKids that's the team don't you forget it You can blame my God for the talent we've been given Only signing deals if I don't lose my religion Because I'm Christian Boy you knew it I'm not one to rock with gimmicks I've been in The Spin downtown Oly be the resting spot Girly blowing green like she don't have a second thought Man that's so depressing because it's that or it's sui-watch And bloody wrist ain't cute but I know some girls that can show it off Eli be the name since the start don't forget that I've been on the up and up and you really shouldn't miss that If I was taking bets put it on me boy I'm winning I'm trying to see the world with some endless pics of grinning [Hook: Elijah Wiggins] I've been up and down but I ain't never seen the spin | x8 [Verse 2: Elijah Wiggins] T-line be the spot that had me growing in the worst way Taught me how to lay a girl but never go on first dates Probably why it's hard for me to even want to settle down But I'm working past that young boy trying to settle now Sippin' AriZona like I'm tribal in a zone right now Reminiscing on the little leeches trying to hold me down Only people outside the fam that I've been feeling | Got some names I'm not revealing But it's funny how things shifted All my Gs in high school got me feel like I'm worst case May have started last but I'm gonna end in first place Trying to spread a mission why rap first place And If I only reach one that's the worst and best case Worst because I want more Best because that's one more Worst because there's much more Best because I started Catch me in a rocket I'm just trying to blast off Three hundred and sixty people present like a roll call [Hook: Elijah Wiggins] I've been up and down but I ain't never seen the spin | x8

about

With this project I wanted give a little bit of my testimony in a musical way. Some of the feelings were felt fully while others expressed through this project are exaggerated for the safety and privacy of those involved with this time period of my life.

I would like to thank Miss Brittany Michelle for her love and support, Dallen "that D.O.P.E Kid" for all the countless hours of work and mental power he has put into this project out of love for me, and the art, and lastly I would like to thank all of the people of Lacey, Washington who made these experiences possible.

Above all else, I want to thank God for keeping me though I didn't want to be kept during that time and my parents for putting up with my hard-headed self.

Please enjoy and share with whomever your heart leads.

~Elijah Wiggins
