From Alpha to Omega
VHS to Beta
PlayStation to Sega
My skill is still greater
The sickest thing since VD, wicked like Ouija
live my life crooked like the left finger on ET
Please believe me this be the illest thing I ever wrote
Right after talking to Pac puffing on heavy smoke
Laugh now cry later, my only dream in life was to rock a mic in front of a few spectators & rocks Shell Toes not Gators, show love not hate us
I'm switching over like crossfaders, to a better time & place where it's safe and they can't judge a n**** by the color of his face
But by the content of the way that I kick these letters
I'm kicking it with white boys in Old Navy sweaters
Ball cap low on my eye
Cuz sometimes I'm high listen to my style so much I'm just trying to get by
I'm just saying
For real, I'm just saying
I'm in the AC cooler than I ever was, I went from bubbling to a better buzz
Check this cuz, I did it with no airplay, wild'out in the lot, we'll that's hearsay
I'm just trying to do my thing shine like a star
Skills in the place Banner you know who we are
I'm Nite, that's Nate you know Knine, I already said my name I just say the rhyme
Take it to the next level beat'em with a shovel, dig his own grave for'em make'em meet the devil
I'll play the nice guy you can play the Goodfellow, nice guys finish last you ain't even pass the class, matter of fact, you ain't even study for it
Rapping just ya hobby man you trying to get some money for it
Man, I'm just setting the standard, they can't do what I do man and
you can't stand it
Bring the high hat

It’s gon be a party y’all
How I feel
And I will build my world around you
Cuz I can’t live my life without you
It’s so real
How I feel
Cuz everything I do is for you
What’s mine is yours cuz I adore you
Yeah, you the apple of my eye
My collabo queen
You the only one I want on my team, if you know what I mean
We go together like coffee and cream
I’m intertwined in your daily routine
I wanted you to look my way
I wanted to get closer touch you every day
I want to get to know you call you my bae bae
Yeah, everything was cool going on my way
Whoa, ups and downs get the best of you
Nine times out of 10 someone testing you
I think fight or flee is what the rest would do
But I wanna get next to you
So I’m here to build this nest for you
And all my life this is what I dream for
Like a scream tour, this is what I fiend for
This is how I feel, this the real deal
Like Holyfield, signed and sealed, it’s so re-re-re-real
How I feel
And I will build my world around you
Cuz I can’t live my life without you
It’s so real
How I feel
Cuz everything I do is for you
What’s mine is yours cuz I adore you
In case you can’t tell you have cast a spell on me with your love
And it is everything I hoped that it would be
I can hardly wait for another taste
Everytime you touch me part of my wall melts away
The way you dress, your sweet caress so invigorating
You got me thinking this is how true love must feel
All this passion I’m anticipating
Well you can’t blame me cuz your lovin is so real
How I feel
And I will build my world around you
Cuz I can’t live my life without you
It’s so real
How I feel
Cuz everything I do is for you
What’s mine is yours cuz I adore you
My girl, my world, my cutie pie
I’m too fly not to fly til the day I die
Naw I ain't got to lie no reason why
Got you wet like Canada Dry
And it don’t make sense
But it do make a love connection
Ain't no protection for love infection
I needed your attention so I had to take it
It takes more than love to make it, yep yep
Commitment and make sure they dedicated
Cuz often love it’s gets duplicated
Like burning CD’s I hate it
You can’t replace it
But you know it’ll never be the same
It the same old thang
And the same old game
Same old faces with the same old names
Same old places but don’t nothin ever change
But if it ever do love’ll never be the same
It’s so re-re-re-real
How I feel
And I will build my world around you
Cuz I can’t live my life without you
It’s so real

These thundercats and whippersnappers playing my old songs

I mean we were just sittin back, you know, choppin it up
Reminiscing ‘bout the good old days
And all that
You know, trackin’ my roots, where I came from
Where I’m going
But like I say man
Always said it
It’s not about the destination
It’s all about the journey
It’s all about the journey baby
Ain't nothing changed but the weather
The dangling carrot it hang from the rearview
Your dreams in the past ain't nowhere near you
Backseat drivers got nothin but 2 cents
Shotgun riders too bias they all liars
I should get a A for effort I’m too tired
But I’m never giving up that’s why I’m kinda admired
Role model like it or not I gotta play it
Sugar coat the rhymes sometimes but still say it
Said I was quittin at 40 is just a fib
I’m still a kid that wiping the food off of my bib
You ever wanted something so bad that you could taste it
Cried over every opportunity wasted
Good and bad news which one you want first
Either way you pick the bad still gon hurt you the worst
I never got to bask in the fruits of the labor
And I never got the cash from that dude from the label
I’m just thinking back
Can we go way back way back way back
It’s time to go way back way back way back
You see, in retrospect I woulda did it the same
In hindsight I’m the only one to blame
I ain’t picky I’m just real specific
I want nothing less than terrific
I know y’all get it
I’m aggressive so our style is clashing
Killer instinct and I play with passion
I’d rather be hated for being one of the realest
Then get a lot of love for these overrated appearance
I can stand on skill alone
But I’m a package deal
I can write the whole song and rap for real
I got my head in a cloud with a pun intended
I don’t want to see nobody I don’t want no visits
Introverted I just flirt with the music
Small circle how I choose it
Stay away from squares the the one that look like a L-7
I been doing this since I was 11
And the s*** gets real
Can we go way back way back way back
It’s time to go way back way back way back
Pure pandemonium when I’m in the building
Grown man flow I ain't got time for the children
Now you can boo me jump off I’m winnin
I still love you though shout out to the women
Wash U was cool they was actin’ wild
Walk in leave drunk it was packed for Owl
Belligerent students man the s*** got messy
Remind me of my first show I did at the Red Sea
I aint have no DJ, just a tape deck
Opened up for sun of star child I love that
Met this cat named Larry he was with the Avengers
Showed me how to make moves and walk with the winners
Soon went to the pen and never seen him again
But I did a couple shows with his friends
Lumber jack brown clown so-n-so and dude with the orange pants
10 years later now I’m rockin the orange pants
But they Girdbauds though
You know fresh to def
Always and forever
Don’t get it twisted
Number one listed
Nitro with the nice flow
Ya know, ya dig
Take a picture baby it’ll last longer
All in ya bow bow bow
In retrospect
Just thinking back
To the time when it was all good
Golden era
Reminiscing ‘bout the good old days
And all that
You know, trackin’ my roots, where I came from
Where I’m going
But like I say man
Always said it
It’s not about the destination
It’s all about the journey
It’s all about the journey baby
Ain't nothing changed but the weather
The dangling carrot it hang from the rearview
Your dreams in the past ain't nowhere near you
Backseat drivers got nothin but 2 cents
Shotgun riders too bias they all liars
I should get a A for effort I’m too tired
But I’m never giving up that’s why I’m kinda admired
Role model like it or not I gotta play it
Sugar coat the rhymes sometimes but still say it
Said I was quittin at 40 is just a fib
I’m still a kid that wiping the food off of my bib
You ever wanted something so bad that you could taste it
Cried over every opportunity wasted
Good and bad news which one you want first
Either way you pick the bad still gon hurt you the worst
I never got to bask in the fruits of the labor
And I never got the cash from that dude from the label
I’m just thinking back
Can we go way back way back way back
It’s time to go way back way back way back
You see, in retrospect I woulda did it the same
In hindsight I’m the only one to blame
I ain’t picky I’m just real specific
I want nothing less than terrific
I know y’all get it
I’m aggressive so our style is clashing
Killer instinct and I play with passion
I’d rather be hated for being one of the realest
Then get a lot of love for these overrated appearance
I can stand on skill alone
But I’m a package deal
I can write the whole song and rap for real
I got my head in a cloud with a pun intended
I don’t want to see nobody I don’t want no visits
Introverted I just flirt with the music
Small circle how I choose it
Stay away from squares the the one that look like a L-7

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me
It’s that dude they call me the Owl
Poker face, never know if I’m funny or foul
Check my background, you can fingerprint me right now
Sticky fingers I’m an onyx I can slam it down
Well I’m grown now, on my own now
Yeah I was watching the throne but now I’m on now
I’m created from dust I need a clone now
I could do this in my sleep I spit alone now
I got some bomb haze similar to purple haze
Call it Jimmy Hendrix cloudy like a rainy day
Heat sell cell phone ringing like I’m Dave Chapelle
I’m overwhelmed and dreamin’ of this since I was 12
I need that boombap please Sam take it back
I wanna rap cuz I’m biggidy bad on the track
Never bad meaning bad but b-bad meaning good
This the beginning of something really good
Here my cry
Can you hear my cry
Can you hear my cry
I’m damn near bleeding out my eye
Here my cry
Can you hear my cry
Can you hear my cry
Lord I’m damn near bleeding out my eye
Here my cry
Can you hear my cry
Can you hear my cry
Yeah yeah you know I’m bleeding out my eye
Hear my cry can you hear my cry
Can you hear my cry
Lord I’m damn near bleedin out my eye
If I see it and need it it’s all mine
By any means necessary down to the small crimes
If I get it and I like it, it’s all bad
Money in my pocket for some kush and a small bag
Stay on my grind keep my mind on the right thing
Before I give it up you can crown me the mic king
What else, and a n*gga with an attitude
The angry black man but I still got some gratitude
You ain’t gotta lie to me yall dudes is like a fly to me
Just pissin’ me off like the lottery
Your guess as good as mine, you can call me valentine
But don’t get it twisted I’ll still spit a battle rhyme
Like, like I’ll fuckin I’ll fuckin bang yo nuts with a spiked bat mufucka
Conflict and confrontation it’s a everyday cycle
And the beef is the confirmation
Here my cry
Can you hear my cry
Can you hear my cry
I’m damn near bleeding out my eye
Here my cry
Can you hear my cry
Can you hear my cry
Lord I’m damn near bleeding out my eye
Here my cry
Yeah I ain’t done with you scum bags
I should just stick you in the eye with a thumb tack
To me this track is dumb phat
Don’t call it a comeback
You stick around too long ain’t nobody gon’ want that
(True) you can hear my cry through the lyrics when I write it
Thinking it’s a dream God tellin’ me not to fight it
If it was meant to be it’ll be under a tree
Like a present on christmas for everybody to see
It’s a tragedy when your dreams don’t come true
Now the season over, you don’t know what else to do
By the time catchin’ up in the rearview mirror
Now failure looking close and a bit more clearer
It’s all up in yo face and it’ll bite you like a python
Your so frustrated you don’t wanna turn yo mic on
The game’ll squeeze yo life out and put yo lights out
No soundcheck open doors a encores
It’s over
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me
It’s that dude they call me the Owl
Poker face, never know if I’m funny or foul

I got this new angle headed in a new direction
Different mentality but still thankful for the blessing
I learn some new lessons
Everything a teaching moment
Actions speak louder than words
I know who really want it
It don’t take all day to see if the sun is out
Everybody got excuses, ain’t nobody running out
Me I’m action oriented
That should be my album title
Dedication and commitment man
That shit is hella vital
The key to success was lost in a haystack
20 albums later man I got my place back
And I got a couple placements where they don’t even place rap
And now I got some new fans and I know where they stay at
And they message me just to see how I’m doing
And I hit’em right back to let’em know I’m still pursuing the dream
We on the same team know what I mean
I’ma represent the brand and try to get this cream, naw mean
I been workin’ hard

I got this new vision Sam Darnald seeing ghost
It’s almost time for me to jet
Cuz I’m doing the most
I like the brag and boast
But still thankful to the Most High
I’m trying to build a legacy out here
Different than most guys
Local celebrity underground meets commercial
Before I do a show I need at least 7 rehearsals
But in reality I only do 4
Maybe a couple with the band
The other 2 with Stan or Sno
I’m in my living room
The remote is the microphone
And I don’t need no audience
I’m just ready to get it on
I paid for the P.A. system and all these monitors (pause)
But this is just one of those days
Said by Monica
The only thing missing is Stevie and his harmonica
To take me to the bridge
Or drive me to Santa Monica
Either way I know I’m bout to crash and burn
But this shit ain’t fair yall trippin’
Man I need another turn
I been workin’ hard

I ain't just gonna keep beatin’ a dead horse
Okay
You want me to go in
Okay
You know I’ll do it
The judge said this, the judge said that
It’s an anomaly the drug dealer not pack a gat
This a sneak attack, the flow is potent like 80’s crack
I’m the voice for the people don’t know how to rap
I’m speaking from my perspective, everyday I live it
The racial undertone is real, if you black you get it
If you white you might, if you tan you can
If you a angry black man, then yo ass is gettin’ canned
I done been there, done that
They’ll call you aggressive
Knowin’ that it affect you, just to teach you a lesson
Now you labeled unstable and violent
But get made when a n***a wanna take a knee in silence
I live in a city full of racists
Don’t be naive, we interact on a everyday basis
Sometimes it’s at the bus stop, maybe at the grocery store
All of times it’s at your job, yeah you know how that go
Stay in your place lil’ boy, that’s how they look at ya
Judgin’ ya, ready to throw the book at ya
But they the shook ones, rest in peace to Prodigy
This the quiet storm, once again it’s on
Once again it’s on
Once a once again it’s on
Once again it’s on, it’s on
Once again it’s on, look I really gotta go
Sincerely yours, Nitro with the nicest flow
I’m feeling righteous bro, my conscience got the best of me
Negativity only means God is testing me
Don’t ever question He
I know He got the recipe
And when I found my soulmate
I knew that he was blessin’ me
This my 18th album, When The Smoke Clear
Even beavis and butthead somewhere havin’ a beer
This a celebration, of my creation
My music gon’ always be my reputation
I’m a writer, and a fighter,
And a lover, and a spitter, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with her
Lu’ you boo bear
Look I gotta go
Okay
You want me to go in
Okay

I feel so free right now
Nitro the prophet man was sent here to tell ya
In this game of life
There's a curve called failure
Stand firm, hold your ground be extra patient
So you can see the blessings when they come across your plate and
Be aware of a loop called confusion, things you think you need in your life become illusions
Speed bumps, well they're more like friends
See they'll slow you down at times, but still there in the end
Red lights called enemies, caution lights called family, bulls*** is the J.O.B.
Spare tire backup plan or security
I got a tattoo on my left arm, it says perseverance in the middle of the cross was the first appearance
Microphone on my right arm, I gotta stand strong, stay focus, keep the faith always in the right place
I'm all about the success
I want to taste right now
Heal the pain, tell me can you heal the pain for me and you
Me and you
Heal the pain, tell me can you heal the pain for me and you, me and you
Me and you
Dreaming
Tell me am I dreaming
For me and you
Yes it's true
Dreaming, tell me am I dreaming, for me and you
Yes it's true, yes it's true
Every time I step into the light and try to heal the pain
I get turned around and overwhelmed by all the rain
It's not about the destination, all about the journey, side by side learning together your trust gone earn me
Tomorrow is a new day, clean slate, fresh start
New opportunities to heal the pain of broken hearts
Life goes on you just need a theme song, I'm the one to do it right because I know my team strong
We gone give you the power to get you through the day, espresso shots, mocha-latte
The Cocoon bout to turn into a butterfly, free to the world spread your wings so we can take it high
So high that you can touch the sky and you don't wanna come down cuz it'll make you cry
Reality is a b****! Everything back to normal with the flick of a switch you gotta heal the pain
Heal the pain, tell me can you heal the pain for me and you
Me and you
Heal the pain, tell me can you heal the pain for me and you, me and you
Me and you
Dreaming
Tell me am I dreaming
For me and you
Yes it's true
Dreaming, tell me am I dreaming, for me and you
Yes it's true, yes it's true
You see, to some, this is a paradise, this is a gamble won't you roll the dice
To others, this is a hell and you can tell by the sound and the smell
Equality is a facade, but if you black then you play against the odds
Supremacist will try to ruin this, but Nite a kill'em all with the Iron Fists
See they'll try and take your dream and your heart and your soul and your Halo and your broken wings
Tears are shed and hope is lost, close your eyes escape, be your own boss
Dare to dream and forget the pain, forget the hurt learn to smile
Again, yeah and then love again,
Do it again and again and another gain
I'm dreaming man
Heal the pain, tell me can you heal the pain for me and you
Me and you
Heal the pain, tell me can you heal the pain for me and you, me and you
Me and you

And I say
So so so into you
So so so into you
Ay baby girl
I can’t tell by the way that you look that your feeling my style
And I been watching you so long I got pictures in the back of my mind
The way you walk I’m convinced you got something that I can’t deny
And you ain't gotta say nothing I can tell by the look in your eye
So so so into you
So so turned on by the things you do
So so so into you
So so impressed by the things you do
I been watching you for some time now
Had to zoom in with the lens and write the rhyme down
Ever since the first day I wanted it in the worst way
Had to play it back pay attention to what the verse say
I wrote this on a Thursday happy hour feeling thirsty
I’m a freak on the field like where Jerome Curts play
So symbolic I can’t call it cuz love a alcoholic
Gettin’ drunk off the rhyme we takin two shots at a time
Combine the line with the lime I do it every time
Smirnoff it’ll make you cough if I tear it off
I don’t give a f*** love hurts wipe them tears off
99 beers on the wall I make them all fall
Getting tipsy in here we smashin like a wrecking ball
I reckon y’all will try to smash my stamp but my record tall
Yall could never catch up to my flow I’m like a leopard dawg
I know that I’m the best that’s why I’m here instead of yall
And I’m so
So so so into you
So so turned on by the things you do
So so into you
So so impressed by the things you do
It’s like I know what I wanna say I just don’t know how I wanna say it to you
However, bottom line I’m so, we out here
So so so into you
So so so into you
Ay baby girl
I can’t tell by the way that you look that your feeling my style
And I been watching you so long I got pictures in the back of my mind
The way you walk I’m convinced you got something that I can’t deny
And you ain't gotta say nothing I can tell by the look in your eye
So so so into you
So so turned on by the things you do
So so so into you

Smirnoff it’ll make you cough if I tear it off
I don’t give a f*** love hurts wipe them tears off
99 beers on the wall I make them all fall
Getting tipsy in here we smashin like a wrecking ball
I reckon y’all will try to smash my stamp but my record tall
Yall could never catch up to my flow I’m like a leopard dawg
I know that I’m the best that’s why I’m here instead of yall
And I’m so
So so so into you
So so turned on by the things you do
So so into you
So so impressed by the things you do
It’s like I know what I wanna say I just don’t know how I wanna say it to you
However, bottom line I’m so, we out here

Bread crumbs applesauce bologna in my lunch box
Standing in the cypher freezin’ waiting at the bus stop
A couple rules when you Black in Ladue
You keep your pocket change in the pocket of your kangaroos
Stay tucked and stashed walking late to the class
The class clown the reason why the teacher mad at my Black ass
I ain’t good at math but I’m good at counting coins
And I put these letters together better than anyone in this room
(I’m sorry isn’t there something we can do. Hidden within each of us is not only the capacity to love and hate but to take the final step to be not only the creator but the destroyer. A man unreasonable. Is he a man or a monster? He is completely out of control. It is unthinkable that such horror should be repeated.)
Ooooo
It’s showtime!
Yes Lord!
Versatile versatility music be healing me
I’m trying to keep it alive but these n*ggas is killing me
Talkin ‘bout they ain’t feeling me and don’t wanna deal with me
That’s cuz they aint used to dealing with people as real as me
I’m the ambassador like Fly and G-Wiz
Do your homework and stop asking who he is
It’s gonna take a bigger force to stop this
My source said I rocked this, screwed and chopped this
People say that I’m dope I embrace it with gratitude
Sign a autograph with a positive attitude
I thank God for hip hop it gave me a outlet
To dress fly for videos and shop at the outlet
This is more than a hobby it’s my culture I live this
Mark Amy and Daniel Brown are three of my witnesses
Way before the children I’ve been trying to get this
But instead I got memories on black and white pictures
I’m still thankful for every fan that I got
This is for the hopeless people still trying to reach the top
This is for the bottom of the barrel and the totem pole
This is for kids who only wanted someone to hold
And feel safe with you can’t replace it
My lyrics are like love but I still feel like it’s trapped in the basement
Kindness is a hard thing to try to give away
But it keeps coming back to the giver okay
When was the last time they heard you say
I love you more than before this is my feeling today
I’m just trying to reach the promised land
Me and my brother man with a sound so unique
Not quite like the other man
This is my environment hustle and work hard
I’m saving up my money just to buy me a sports car
Help those that need it if you need it repeat it
This is the dopest live flow you and dig it or beat it
You’re now rockin’ with the best soul brother number two
Nite and Polk with a win for the whole crew
Spreading joy to the city with these beats and rhymes
Got me feeling like a mufucking beast sometimes
This my gift to the world you can sell it or keep it
This the manuscript guaranteed that yall gon’ need it
Rewind select bloaw bloaw lick a shot
We can get it on fuck a song man pick a spot
And all I gotta say is you gon’ learn today
And I was trained to spot a scam from a mile away
One day it’ll all make sense
But if it don’t make dollaz then it don’t make sense and that’s real
Naw mean
Now that’s real
For real tho
I’m doing this strictly for my fans (know what I’m talkin ‘bout)
Strictly for my foot soldiers my die hard fans
Even if it’s only like 3-400 of y’all
Maybe 500 if I’m lucky
I’m doing this strictly for y’all ‘cuz you been holding me down, know what I’m saying
It’s real talk
It’s T.E.A.M. NiTRO Bitch!
All day
All night
Yeah
Ay Yo Polk what up man
Put a wrap on that
Real recognize real
STL to the ATL
Naw I’m talking ‘bout folk let's go
Standing in the cypher freezin’ waiting at the bus stop
A couple rules when you Black in Ladue
You keep your pocket change in the pocket of your kangaroos
Stay tucked and stashed walking late to the class

Naw I’m talking ‘bout folk let's go
03:32
Awww….here we go, here we go
Yep, Yep, here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go
Act, Act, Act like you know
Act, Act, Act like you know
Here we go, here we go
Aw naw yep we got Trog on the beat
Mixed with Nitro, flow is so discrete
This the type of shit that make you move you feet
Or cuss people out and take it back to the street
Stand up
Naw I’mma take a knee on this one
Two middle fingers in the air, go on and kiss them
But don’t get distracted, yo, please stay focused
Cuz the leader of the free world is cold and hopeless
Racial injustice, it always follow me
But this aint twitter, I just want some equality
For every ethnicity, creed, and background
Rapper and social worker stating the facts now
When I look around, I can see you clowns
Profiling anybody whose skin is brown
But tell me this though, why yall fools in riot gear
Cuz we don’t see no riots over here
(Here we go here we go)
We don’t see no riots over here
(Here we go here we go)
We don’t see no riots over here
I aint goin nowhere, I’m standing my ground
Don’t you see all these people, aint nobody backing down
Year after year, it’s the same old story
Cops commit crimes and get all the glory
This one time though, I was leaving Imos
Then I turn around, and here come the Popo’s
Two officers, both of them white
Searchin on my pockets interrupting my night
They started huffin and puffin, cussin and bluffin
Then they ran my name and came back with nothin
I don’t know all the law, but this aint legal
Got my hands on the wall and my feet spread eagle
Where I’m going, shit it’s none of your business
But you might wanna chill cuz it’s a gang of witnesses
They know me well, and I’m here all the time
Right before I write songs about cops committing crimes
Here we go, with the bullshit again
Yep, yep, here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go
You cannot compare a owl to a falcon
I am not Martin, I’m more like Malcom
Don’t come at me with all that peaceful talkin
Black steady dying, cops still walkin
One step forward, five steps back
This is what life is like when you black
White privilege is like invisible backpacks
With all kinds of tools we aint got in our knapsack
I don’t make excuses, I grind til the sun down
I don’t trust the man, or even his woman now
Backstabbers, a snake in the ground
Snitch face, man I really hate these clowns
Even when I leave the room I still be listening
Flies on the wall, ear hustle position
Yeah we stick together sometimes like yall do
Especially when it’s racial, yeah I said especially when it’s racial
So here we go, here we go
Yep, Yep, here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go
Act, Act, Act like you know
Act, Act, Act like you know
Here we go, here we go
Aw naw yep we got Trog on the beat
Mixed with Nitro, flow is so discrete
This the type of shit that make you move you feet
