“The Vine” by Boss Eagle
INTRO
They say you gotta
Know where you come from
To know where you’re going
I say you also gotta know
Who you are
To know who you wanna be
VERSE 1
If I could have your attention
Maybe just for a minute
Let me spit a few bars
And then decide if you gon' feel it
This ain’t no silver spoon story
Just a story ‘bout a boy
Maybe boring, but I’m hoping
That you still will witness
You could say that his brain
Was just a little different
Reality and imagination
Always seemed conflicted
They say we all just a
Kid from somewhere
But where wasn’t always clear
For the kid with the wavy hair
But still
PRE CHORUS
I know where I’m going
I know where I’m from
I know who I am
I know where I’m going
I know where I’m from
I know who I am
CHORUS
I don’t care what they say
I know I’m on my way
If I stay connected to The Vine
I’ll be here to stay
VERSE 2
The vine is truth, boy
But things ain’t always gravy
Gotta know where you coming from
Or you just might go crazy
Tender shoot in Colorado
The Windy City made me
These Rockies they formed a man
But I’ma always be your baby, Harvey
Little brick house on Vine
With bars on my pad
I see that was the beginning
Of these bars in my pad
Memories incessant
Of all the times that we had
Started with you as a lad
Then full circle to a grad
Wildcats
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Trying to find who I was
Whether here, whether there
‘Tween a rock and a hard place
With my speech and my hair
Times it seems like I was going
Through life without a care
You brought me back to my roots
That’s when I knew that You
Was there for me
Forsaken prodigal if not for You
Then I’m a corpse
Didn’t leave me for dead
Instead You made me Yours
Help me abide in You, Lord
Want You to make me a man
Didn’t make sense at times
But I realize
The Vine was always Your plan
Jesus

"We Got It Too" [Feat. Emily Coffey] by Boss Eagle
INTRO
Everybody talk about what they got
From the East to the West
And we sitting here a Mile High
Just checking it all out
Don’t forget about us
VERSE 1
Step up to the tee
‘Bout to hit it far
Announcers just call me
Boss two under par
Got what it take to win
Hustle is my genes
Ambition is my veins
Hoping it don’t
Rip the seams
Gotta keep it in check
So it don’t overthrow me
Coup d’état on my soul
Tryin’a run wild and free
I’ma keep chasin’
Like a lion on a wilder beast
Same time try to cling tight
To the Nazarene
PRE CHROUS
Cuz we might not be the West
Might not be the East
But these Rockies right here
Still manifestin’ beasts
Do it for the ‘burbs
Do it for the streets
Come and kick it in the Nest
Cuz you know we ‘bout to eat
Rage in the Cage
Fight Night Caesar’s Palace
Thrilla in Manilla
Mid-90s Dallas
Mile High Wonderland
Rocky Mountain Borealis
Got the mic in my hand
Better yet, Eagle talon, cuz
CHORUS
(Emily Coffey)
We might not be the West Coast
But we, still got love for
Diego to the Bay
We might not be the East Coast
But we, see the Big Apple
Get it all day
We might not be the Mid-West
But I, know my hometown
Still get it done
We might not be the South
But we, steady still tryin’a
Make ‘em say uhh
We got it, too x8
(We got it)
VERSE 2
Certified late-bloomer
Kinda late to the dance
Day late, dollar short
Never late in His plans
Trey-five like KD
So I gotta get there soon, bruh
I got my ticket
I’ll be on that 3:10 to Yuma
But I ain’t robbin’ banks
I’ma do this thang legit
Head hard like a Hammer
So you know I never quit
And I don’t want no problems, homie
I just want a chance
To be the rapper
Who can play the drums
And can dance

INTRO
Uh huh, yeah
Boss Eagle, yeah
Drop the beat like
This one of them songs
You know?
Kinda got that old school feel to it
You know, back in the day
When you liked a girl
Get together with your buddies
And you know, go up to her
Start shoo-whoppin’ and
Doo-woppin’ her as you walk her
Home from school, carrying her books
You know?
Yeah, it’s got that kinda feel
VERSE 1
And um, I don’t really
Know how to start this
I just know that I hate it
When we’re apart, miss
We got the kind of thing
You see in the movies and, uh
Somehow I feel like you
Always kinda knew me, so um
Let’s take ‘em back
To the Genesis
And I’ma just try to keep it
Really real with this
I flew into your life like Superman
On that day
But lookin’ at your face
You don’t see it that way
Playing M-A-S-H and Cootie Catchers
On the playground
Though I was young always
Knew you would be around
Tryin’a impress you I’d give you
Now and Laters
Saying corny stuff like
I’ll see you now and later at uh
Sunday school, rockin’ patent-leather
Shoes with a lil’ Vaseline on ‘em
Tryin’a be smooth
Back flippin’ out of swings
Straight actin’ like a fool
But when I heard you say (ooh)
Yo, I felt like I was cool, come on
CHROUS
Baby, baby, oh
Baby, baby, oh
And ever since the day that
You became my only girl
You got me feeling like
I could take on the world
Baby, baby, oh
Baby, baby, oh
And ever since the day that
You became my only girl
You got me feeling like
I could take on the world
VERSE 2
And middle school was like
We ain’t know each other
And that day that you told me
That you love me like a brother
Truth is I ain’t really think about it
Cuz my friends had me buggin’ on
The awkwardness surrounding us
A few summers went by
Started saying stuff to me
Like I’m not the same guy
But going to homecoming with you
Was my only wish
You had me trippin’ knowing
That I was your first kiss
It’s obvious how we made it back
To each other
Used to tease you that you kiss
A dude you see as a brother
Dreams was callin’ but you said
I needed knowledge
So I packed a couple suitcases and
Followed you to college, but uh
Things changed
I could see in your demeanor
And we weren’t talking no more
Like we was Charlie and Selena
So I start planning my leave
Another cat you started seeing
Tuition was like (ooh)
Debt and stress?
I don’t need ‘em, come on
CHORUS
VERSE 3
On the road dawned on me
It’s your birthday
Sent you a message that started
With something like ‘hey’
Nervously wait for your response
It had been a while
Wondering if you still had that
Dimple in your smile
You hit me back said you got
Giddy as a school girl
When you saw my name
You had been wondering
How’s my world
We talked a little back and forth
Said let’s keep in touch
But we both knew the feelings
Still deep inside of us
So we met up and realized
Emotions still true
You said that he wasn’t me
And she was never you
Dude on your Facebook
Y’all was just friends
And we decided right there
That we’d begin again
Fast forward lil’ bit through time
Paper hangin’ on our wall
Both names on the line
I put a couple rings on it
Got a few mini-me’s
Pinch ya when ya walk (ooh)
Just how it’s supposed to be

This world is cold, man
It’ll try to break you
VERSE 1
Prevet
Welcome to Mother Russia
Where the days is icy cold
And the temperature will rush ya, uh
Bundle up, knuckle up
Get ready for the ring
You ‘bout to face an opponent
That you ain’t never seen
The preparation is long
To get ready for this
Focused on hittin’ that mark
So you don’t ever miss
It ain’t no short cuts
Ain’t no easy way through it
Gotta get ya Nike on
You just gotta go do it
Life ain’t a cake walk
It’s not gon’ give you nothing
Cats on that fake talk
Need to be doin’ something
Everybody want the win
But not the journey to it
I wanna get you to the end
Where you could show and prove it
And it might take a while
It might not happen quick
But keep on grinding, boy and
You gon’ make them haters sick
And when you take a bow
Up to the sky you reach
They listening to you now
They waiting for your speech
I do this for my family
I do this for my friends
I do this for my peeps
Who already seen their end
I do this for my Harvey
I do this thang for Chi
I do it for these Rockies
Way up in the sky
I do this thang for FoCo
I do this thang for Denver
I do it for the dreamers
I just hope y’all remember
For the sinners and the saints
For all my Eagle babies
For Yazoo City’s finest
And for the One who saved me, yep
VERSE 2
Back to reality look around
The crowd is wild
The pressure’s on that you been
Facing since you was a child
The entrance music silent
You standing in the ring
It’s like you’re sentenced to it
You ‘bout to do this thing
Yo boots is laced
Your gloves in tact
Heart is racing
No turning back
Remember your training
Stay on the attack
Bob and weave and
Tighten up the slack
You gotta know that he gon’
Try to lay you flat
Stealin’ rounds like a kleptomaniac
He gon’ try to hold you
Even though it’s wack
You gotta want your freedom
Like a claustrophobic, uhh
What I’m getting at is that
Life is smiles and frowns
And you can’t just lay on the mat
Because you’re down
Iron sharpens iron
Sparks gon’ fly
Keep your eyes to the Son
Let Him help you off the ground
I done fell down, homie
More than seven times and then
Looked around wondering
How’d I survive again?
World’s cold
Don’t mean you can’t go
Thrive and win
Path of a champion, uh
Is filled
With the joy and the pain
Need an umbrella
For the days in the rain
Need a little faith
When my dreams are delayed
Need a little peace
When I’m going insane
Need a lot of clean
From all of the stain
Need to believe
Just as little as a grain?
Shadow of Your wings
I can fly like a plane
But I’m taking K.O. punches
Like a shot to the brain though
ONE, love for anyone in this world
Who’s ever been through it
TWO, cheers for the single parents
I don’t know how y’all do it
THREE, starting to drift in and out
Wondering if anybody even care
FOUR, daddy loves you
Im’a see you when I get there
FIVE, you feeling wobbly
SIX, might want to give up
SEVEN, he already on seven?
EIGHT, you’re standing up
NINE, he over there salivating
You backing down? Nope
Then ain’t no need to count to ten
Cuz if you’re breathing
Then there’s still hope
Fight
(Let’s get it on)

INTRO
Yeah
This song is for all the
Dreamers out there
For anybody who’s ever had to
Fight for what’s inside
Boss Eagle got you
Let’s ride
CHORUS
Determination plus commitment
And resiliency
To do what’s going to echo
Right into eternity
Let your actions move you
Closer to your destiny
And don’t forget to give yourself
The permission to dream
And when you feel like
You’ve given all that you can
But you still ain’t gon’ ever
See the Promised Land
Just remember that this life
Ain’t always what it seems
Never give up
And always hold on
To your dreams
VERSE 1
Bills stacking up
Loans and your payments
Keep racking up
Fear got you trembling
Backing up
We can’t fly cuz of fear
Hijacking us
We were made to be spectacular
And I ain’t just talking vernacular
Made in His image
Yeah, that we were
On varsity
Playing like amateurs
Why we let ourselves get beaten down
Made of dust
But ain’t gotta stay on the ground
I know it’s tough
Every time you look around
Seems like another dream
Is about to drown
Weight of the world’s
Like a thousand pounds
All these voices
How’d they become so loud?
Trying to sort of your thoughts
While your in the crowd
They got the audacity
To tell us what’s allowed?
Do what they say
And you’ll be proud
Anything else
And your head’s just in the clouds
That’s a pipe dream
You’re being irresponsible now
Time to grow up, settle in
And buckle down
War between fear and wisdom
Like a merry go round
Spin your head
Bringing pain to the top of your crown
In your heart
You can feel that unshakeable pound
In your soul
You can hear the sound
Of your dream calling
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Go to sleep, little babe
Hope you dream of the day
When you work and you play
Have fun while you get paid
Wolves gon’ come out the hay
Try to get you to sway
Have you doubting all day
But don’t you get dismayed
You’re being selfish they’ll say
Unrealistic, okay
The statistics have to outweigh
Delusions of grandeur, child’s play
Go ‘head and fill in the blank
You’re gonna make a mistake
And entertainment’s no way
For you to make a valid wage
I’ll tell you I appreciate
The concern that you have for me
I might fall flat on my face
Maybe fear’s why you stayed in place
This path is mine, I have to take
Rather fall than to be a fake
This the real me, no charade
I’m wonderfully and fearfully made
CHORUS
I been there, too
Had to fight so I could be me
Wondering why I had to prove
To others how He made me
All the pain inside
He was able to redeem
From broken wings
To Boss Eagle
I’m going for my dream
CHORUS
Determination plus commitment
And Resiliency
To do what’s going to Echo
Right into eternity
I’ll let my Actions Move me
Closer to my destiny
I’ll never, never, never
Give up on my dream

I Would Never
02:33
|
|
||
VERSE 1
I would never act like
New Edition wasn’t the first
To drop a track
Way back in the day
When my hair was wack
Before boybands started to snap
Giving little girls a heart attack
Now come on
Peace to New Kids, BSB and NSYNC
Had a lot of their songs on playback
I’m a needle in the haystack
Excuse me
I didn’t mean to have myself
An itty bitty flashback
Uh, switch it up like flapjacks
Yo, originale like Mike Jack
I would never say I ain’t
From the Chi, mack
Hoping one day I can
Pull from my knapsack
Give a little something more
Than some yak-yak
So they have to take in home
In a backpack
One your minds like a hatchback
Pull out your phones
Make them go snap snap
Like a Kodak
I would never take a kick back
Get back, kick that
Kit-Kats all in my knick knacks
Twists and turns in my verse
So you can say what you want
It’s a lyrical switchback
Bars over cars
Rather walk it out
Than to have to choose a world
Where a brother had no rap
Old school like a throwback
Kinda strange
But a little en vogue
Like a woman showing toe crack
CHORUS
(These are some things I’d never do)
I would never take my dreams
And put ‘em on the shelf
And not give me and I the chances
To take on myself
(These are some things I’d never do)
I would never turn my back
On all my Eagle Babies
We gon’ fly together
No ifs, no ands, no buts, no maybes
(These are some things you know I would never do)
I would never not put on for
Denver and the Chi
I rep that red C and them stars
No need to ask me why
(These are some things you know I would never do)
Sun, rain or snow
No matter the weather
You know Boss Eagle, uh
I ain’t gon never, never
VERSE 2
I would never be gone for too long
Having you believing
That I just went ‘deuces’
To this song, now don’t get me wrong
Want to give you something natural
Berries and juices
Like Hakeem with the dream
Talking ‘bout the prince
In the empire
Taking off like a rocket
Got my queen
And I’m on the scene
Big up to my team
We about to put this game
In our pocket
I would never go at
The forefathers of Hip Hop
Homeboy, that would just be wrong
I would never take away
From the ground that they laid
Want to mention them all in this song
I would never be the type of rapper
Playing king of the hill
Just trying to get famous
Lest we forget what happened
To a dope emcee who took a jab
At one of the greatest
And I ain’t trying to stir up old beef
Do nobody wrong
But I would, never, never, never
Go at Todd Smith’s arm
My own mama would probably
Knock me out on my own song
True round the way girl
Rock them bells
Homeboy, word to my moms
And if I ever tried to take
That mic off LL’s arm
I’m liable to get tossed
Off of any stage I’m rapping on
I just hope my DJ and the band
Keep on playing the song
I’m flying through the air
Like Uncle Phil
Done threw me on the lawn

(S.W.I.S.S.)
I know some of y’all
Probably already thinking
VERSE 1
Here we go another rapper
Talking ‘bout money
But I’ma tell you something different
Just listen, honey
Gon’ set the record straight
Cut off the leaky faucet
Pulpit comedian
The hip hop Preacher Lawson
This song ain’t ‘bout no flossin’
But lines are getting crossed, and
Over truth, folks is glossing
Your notions, go on and toss ‘em
Just hear me out on this
Ain’t looking for applauses
Want to stamp your thoughts with truth
Like a cerebral embossing
CHORUS
Miles ahead on your paper
Like Don Cheadle
Trying to fit it all
Through the eye of the needle
You can text me ‘bout it
But I’m probably sleeping, homie
Like that yellow-faced emoji
With them z’s on it, homie
Miles ahead on your paper
Like Don Cheadle
Trying to fit it all
Through the eye of the needle
You can stress me ‘bout it
But I’m probably sleeping, homie
Like that yellow-faced emoji
With them z’s on it, homie
[Selling While I Sleep Soundly (S.W.I.S.S.)] x3
Look, um, this next verse
It’s, it’s real important that you
Understand what I’m about to say
It ain’t gon’ be easy to hear
And there’s really no other way to
Put this, but
Some folks gon’ probably be offended
By this next verse, but I
VERSE 2
Gotta talk about this whole
Money being the root of evil thing
People that is such a misconception
Matter fact, it’s a misquote of Scripture
And that’s probably why this concept
Got a lot of people stressing
Money can’t be the root of evil
Evil came before money, man
It’s like the cart to the donkey
The love of the dough sets in roots
And begets all kind of evil
Humans go wonky
Lie, cheat, steal, kill
And commit felonies and misdemeanors
Prosperity gospel preachers
Taking poor folks to the cleaners, but
The broke, busted and disgusted martyrs
Pronounce you guilty
If you got anything
Man, I wonder if it’s even possible
For anybody to be Frodo
With the ring
CHORUS
[Selling While I Sleep Soundly (S.W.I.S.S.)] x3
Look, um, I know, I know
Those first couple verse were kind of heavy
But if you just stick with me, uh
I promise there’s light
At the end of the tunnel
VERSE 3
Money’s amoral
Could be a blessing
Or a disaster
Just be careful that that money
Don’t become your master
All labor leads to profit
That what the Proverbs say
If you put in the work
You’re supposed to get your pay
Ain’t trying to overdo it
Or cut no corners to win
Just want to set some things up
And enjoy them with my wife and kids
Whether you cash it in
Or got plenty of dough to spend
Just keep it in perspective
Cuz you can’t take it with you, my friend

Rise and Shine (Freedom)
03:29

INTRO
“For I consider that the sufferings
Of this present time
Are not worthy to be compared
With the glory
That is to be revealed to us
For the anxious longing
Of the creation waits eagerly
For the revealing of the sons of God
For the creation was
Subjected to futility, not willingly,
But because of Him who subjected it
In hope that the creation itself
Also will be set free
From its slavery to corruption
Into the freedom of the glory
Of the children of God”
CHORUS
Rise and shine
We all just want our freedom
Rise and shine
We looking for that freedom
(Rise, shine and give God the glory)
Rise and shine
He gon’ bring that freedom
(Rise, shine and give God the glory)
Just hold on
We ‘bout to get our freedom
(Rise, shine and give God the glory)
VERSE 1
Bombings, shootings
Natural disasters
Malice, rage
Attack and all the slander
Uh, can’t even watch the news
None of the rhythm
Just the blues
So many living like
They ain’t got nothing to lose
Sometimes things happen to us
And sometimes we choose
And often, it’s hard to see
A different way
Believing that there’ll
Be a better day
When everything around
Seems in disarray
And we going through the motions
Day to day
Need a new blueprint
Take a different path
What’s going on ain’t working
Let’s rethink the math
Anger plus hatred
Only equals wrath
And our kids gon’ suffer
The aftermath
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Pain, heartache
Broken relationships
Destruction, loss
That seems like it never quits
Have you ever wondered
Just maybe that we were
Never built for this
That brokenness is something
That we weren’t
Meant to experience
Beauty with no ash
Is quite mysterious
That’s why we be like
Swing low sweet chariot
And come to take me home
We gon’ rise up one day soon
Hold on it won’t be long
So, swing low sweet chariot
And come to take me home
We gon’ rise up one day soon
Hold on it won’t be long
Looking dimly in the glass
Trying to see a little clearer
Swipe the fog
Now I’m staring at
The man in the mirror
Father, show us how to be
Who You created as Your prize
Give us strength
Give us guidance
The freedom to rise and shine
CHORUS
Pain endures for the night
But joy comes in the morning
Remember that

Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to Rap Dance
We gon’ have some fun
With this song
We gon’ get hype
We gon’ get crunk
And, uh
What I’m hoping is that
That this song takes you back
You know, back to a time when
When it was okay to
Rap and dance
Really accentuate the party
You know?
So uh, feel free to move with this
Alright? Let’s go
VERSE 1
Hello class it’s Professor Eagle
What you say?
We gon’ try something a little
Different for today
So listen up, focus in
Put your books away
I need your undivided
For this new D-Day
We about to take a trip
Down memory lane
A little history, come on
Don’t complain
It’s gon’ be fun
Might include
A bit of horseplay
Hands in the air
Like you’re ‘bout to
Catch a bouquet
Look in that rearview
And give that mirror a glance
You’ll see a time when
Them rap cats used to dance
It was no coincidence
No happenstance
Getting the party started
With your feet helped enhance
Your rhyme skills and
The overall experience
Want to impress the honeys
Don’t you leave it up to circumstance
The right flows and moves
Could leave them all
In a trance
So get loose, homeboy
This is Rap Dance
CHORUS
Who ever said rappers can’t dance?
Who ever said rappers don’t dance?
(huh, huh, huh, who they?) x4
This is Rap Dance
(Who ever said rappers can’t dance?)
(Who ever said rappers don’t dance?)
[huh, huh, huh, who they?] x4
VERSE 2
Now I’m a little bit
Older than some of y’all
So I appreciate you
Still rocking with Jamaal
I remember when dancing
Was the protocol
Ain’t gon’ hurt nobody
To get your back off the wall
It goes back to the
B-Boy street crews
When your raps
Made a cat yesterday’s news
Then you top rock
And show off your power moves
Your windmill’d knock him out
Of his ADIDAS shoes
The 90s brought
High-top fades and dress clothes
Straight lunching
With slick moves and dope shows
Cavaricci, Cardin
And parachute pants
And flowing ‘bout how them
Parents they just don’t understand
The we moved into a time
Of just leaning back
The track was dope, man
But what the heck
Is up with that?
Y’all can stick with the new
If you want, Jack
You know that
Ain’t my type of hype, B
I want that flavor back
CHORUS
VERSE 3
That concludes our little
Rap Dance history tour
Feel free to see my show
If you’re left wanting more
What I saw growing up
Bringing back to the stage
Exciting showmanship
Let it fly free from the cage
But before I go
I just want to leave you with this
Make sure you keep dancing
Break away from the stiffs
If you don’t know where to start
Don’t need to look very far
Just take a page out of
Eagle’s Rap Dance repertoire
BREAK
Okay, as we proceed
To give you what you need
Ha ha, look, just go ahead and
Follow me
We gon’ lead ya’ll through this
It’s real simple, first one
Do the snake, uh uh
Do the snake, uh uh
Do the snake, uh yeah
Do the snake, uh yeah
Do the cabbage patch, uh uh
Do the cabbage patch, uh
Do the cabbage patch
Do the cabbage patch, uh uh

VERSE 1
Fall back let the water
Splash on your face
Boss Eagle bringing
Something new to embrace
Attention! Man, I’m calling on
The human race
Time for us to rise up, stand up
And take our place
They steady tryin’ to
Arrest our development
But we just wanna do
Something to be relevant
I took a detour
Back like the revenant
Deposit knowledge through these bars
Lyrical sediment
CHORUS
Grandma told me the presence of
The Holy Spirit is fire
(Maybe I can finally be free)
I’m made in His image so call me
His little spitfire
(Now that I’m who I’m supposed to be)
You either gon’ believe the Truth
Or listen to a liar
(Just wanna be heard)
Been waitin’ on renewed strength
Now it’s here, so let’s fly higher
(It’s the Firebird)
F-I-R-E-B-I-R-D
(Grandma told me the presence of
The Holy Spirit is fire)
[Maybe I can finally be free]
F-I-R-E-B-I-R-D
(I’m made in His image so call me
His little spitfire)
[Now that I’m who I’m supposed to be]
F-I-R-E-B-I-R-D
(You either gon’ believe the Truth
Or listen to a liar)
[Just want to be heard]
(Been waiting on renewed strength
Now it’s here, so let’s fly higher)
F-I are you ready ‘cuz
[It’s the Firebird!]
VERSE 2
Create a fiasco
With no laser
Graduated with MØ
Like I’m major
Take ‘em back like the 90s
No new jack
Tryin’ have the streets buzzing
Like a pager
Fall Out Boy rhymes to
Last for centuries
Fall in your line?
That never was for me
Synergetic raps on a
Synesthetic track
So you remember the Eagle
On my snapback
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Not a quarter life crisis
No wandering
A lot of y’all probably out
There wondering
I thought he made dance moves
And was an actor
Now you’re telling me
Jamaal Curry is a rapper? (musical poet)
What you didn’t know
Don’t mean it ain’t true
Sometimes you gotta break free
So you can be you
Not a phoenix
Didn’t need to rise from the ash
Just took flight and
Left ‘em clueless
Like Stacey Dash
