Straight out the gate with the flame Ain't no time for waiting Cut the pleasantries, I'm presently one of the greatest! No debating, when I say that I'm a different creation They tried to write my destiny I went and ripped out the pages I'm not playing! Came to obliterate Same as a microwave that you starting with metal plates I'm in a place where I can not be contained That's why I laugh at their attempts to keep me in the frame I'm out the box with it Jack of all trades, that's why I'm confident Incompetent people try projecting their thoughts on me I'm not fond of it, I'm offended Cause if I'm honest, I'm really one of the hottest out my city It's bout time that you acknowledge it Odds are your top 5 counterfeit I'm kinda pissed I came to shake the game up effortless Time to shift Switch the flow and the beat but the heat is still the same It's Emcee Millz baby, learn the name I'm saying On my claim to fame, I pray that I don't lose my way Scuffin up my J's on the road to riches Quickest way to fall off is not to heed the lessons of the ledges Lusting for acceptance is gonn leave me breathless Tryna prove my flight to penguins, when IM THE EAGLE Chilling with flamingos ain't gonn help me either You couldn't see my point of view If you wanted to So I moved different Iron sharpens iron, you more like aluminum with it I never fold! It's why I wrote Dirty Clothes Some lines to remind me of everything I've been fighting for Stuck in this arena with my life on the line I put it in rhyme Then sacrifice my story to be monetized I subpoena these past due memories then cleverly present em As a metaphor with syncopated rhythms This song be your window into my revelation This whole EP, it be my celebration Of where I came and how far I can take it It's confirmation to self to know that I'll make it A declaration to state it's the end of hiatus It's Emcee Millz baby I'm sorry for the wait like a Wayne mixtape but it's Millz baby Forreal

[Westside Boogie speaking] You like that You really like that Yeahhh I'm really like that! Even Boogie said it Before I had the vouch of industry My inner me was so connected To my own philosophy that I would be the hottest steppin Straight out the depths of Texas You know I'm H-town reppin, throw my set up Do it for my city where we throwing up them H's Knew I was a legend, coming out the womb with greatness Face it When I spit it stick with ya, make ya face lift Keep the fake hits, they all makeshift Basic PLACEBOOOOO Them war stories can't save you Said I wasn't Abel, had to show em what I Cain do Painful, like Bantu when they round the block Aiming at yo top to split ya right down the middle like a lace do Ughh I'm really like that, ain't no misconception Depending on your perception of me, you'll understand or stand corrected From the womb I've been destined Since inception I've been a legend First born, even in genealogy I'm at top position The opposition don't even cross through my mind You got 3 monthly listeners, buying plays from AI (you tried) And thought we wouldn't notice that you cappin We know you ain't authentic like a Patty Honcho adlib (Authenic) I don't revel in little chitter chatter Bitter cause I'm in a better chapter What I'm after is a bigger matter Never at him (pause for laughter) More complex, cause when I step into my element I run right past him Rushing after me? Then watch your noble feet scatter I radiate. Shine on these beated patterns While causing massive damage Skip sent the heat so now I have to match it Cremate the verse, and watched it burned to ashes while laughing I'm really like that cause I'm locked in I know you doubted so, don't think that we'll be merry when I'm poppin You can keep yo top ten Been rappin like I'm top notch But you chose the option, To Skip the Kid like hopscotch Pop, lock, and dropping songs consistently With this wicked delivery Feel the need to keep releasing till they feeling me Till I be Feasting on French pastries screaming Cest La vie at world tours Getting everything I worked for All the pain and hurt I had to endure is worth more As long as they still bumping me, cold sore Lumping me with company I've outscored ain't something that I'll vouch for But I'm down to run it back from the top like an encore Man I'm really like that It's sad I had to say it It make the whole song sound like overcompensation But y'all playing with my name and I don't like that Emcee Millz will fight back on mic stands Until you realizing That I'm really like that

Emcee (Millz) Emcee (Millz) Emcee (Millz) Emcee (Millz) This be E-M-C-Double E to the M-I-Double L-Z How can I Explain to the simpletons I ain't met a rapper I ain't better than The emcee in my name ain't just a pseudonym I mean that wholeheartedly Partially offended that you thought I could be tested By some rappers that don't even write their lyrics (ha) Quick to use their digits for assistance with their weak flows I peep those holes in your storyboard like it's plinko BINGO! Cause the way that the stars aligning It could blackout, and this Black child would still outshine em In a black cloud, my black mouth the silver lining The best out, only superlatives can describe it (look) Hold up, man cut the beat for a minute I started off with acapellas spitting vicious lines, dripping in my driveway Sun beating my face Recording on an iPhone 6 outside my place Had nothing but a dream Freestyling on IG just for fun But now the funds is adjusting my pocket lining The timing is nothing short of impeccable That's why when I say my name I expect respect to flow Had to go Off for a minute Nothing close to being timid Had the tunnel vision even when the light was dimming That's the difference! It's Emcee Millz up in it Glad you got to witness Imma show you all exactly who the kid is This is E-M-C-Double E M-I-Double L-Z Emcee Millz (Ooohh ohh oh oh) Emcee Millz (Yeahhh) E-M-C-Double E M-I-Double L-Z Emcee Millz (Ohh ooohh oh oh oh oh) Emcee Millz (Yeahhh yeah yeah) Emcee Millz Is more than a collection of letters that put together make my stage name Emcee Millz represent the hometeam Homies been calling me Millz Since I was still in high school only playing the field Now I'm playing gigs with the name they gave me Crazy They believed in me before I could That's why Millz represent the whole neighborhood Making sure the ones who held me down gonn be up for good Cause I came to make a difference not a name for myself I ain't enter in this industry for wealth I wanted to vent about what I went through And maybe make enough to not be worried when the rent due So I grab my pencil And put my pen to palm then post my thoughts on paper Then I press record and let you play it back for later Nothing greater than seeing my name in the lights I wanna be recognized for my life holistically And not just certain pages Emcee Millz ain't the persona, it's the person Don't overlook Amelia while you're searching Between all the lines that I tend to rhyme Together they serve a deeper purpose Emcee Millz is who's beneath the surface E-M-C-Double E M-I-Double L-Z Emcee Millz (Ooohh ohh oh oh) Emcee Millz (Yeahhh) E-M-C-Double E M-I-Double L-Z Emcee Millz (Ohh ooohh oh oh oh oh) Emcee Millz (Yeahhh yeah yeah)

It's supposed to sound like... man, how does it go again? Blood, sweat, and tears for the years that I muscled through Instances that I can't get into on this interlude Interviews questioning my every move It look different from my point of view, But it's hard to peer out your peripherals Side eyes and side hugs don't satisfy me Side piece reach for love, won't ever find it Bitter reminder of time spent While stuck in my subconscious Fighting against the mosh pits of thoughts that Scream that I'm inadequate How inaccurate I'm well equipped with battling criticism Till my biggest adversary was my spitting image Looking at the culprit and the victim in the mirror playing spot the difference (Haha, yeah) Hard to witness Add a "lol" if it's hitting close to home A little flirty text for the nights I felt alone Frolicking with cutlery don't mean you'll be the little spoon (haha) I don't meddle in it, table that discussion for later The last man to lay here was depression Yeah, but I don't settle in it Know that I've been destined for greater A lasting impression is what I'll make here I make sure, that I am living out every prayer Every tear that soaked my face It will be the same water that will grow my faith These growing pains are worth the wait If I find strength to just stay patient (yeah) I know it get difficult sitting still while the time is ticking Sticking with the mission when results looking inconsistent But still I stay persistent till I reach the finish This Emcee Millz up in it Yeah, that's how it's supposed to sound like

It's Emcee Millz baby When I entered through the portal of my mother, thought the doc was strange Now they marvel at the eldest daughter, look how times have changed Starving artist, ate the chip on my shoulder and still had hunger pains Dehydrated from the thirst of fame in this filthy game I'm from the Dirty South, you know where I stay When I say I got it out the mud, it ain't a metaphor or simile I rap the things I really mean, silly me You tried to assimilate with gangs you couldn't even name Like mister, mister! There's been a mix up Cause just like twister, Your colors uncoordinated Which set was it you rep, bruh? Ughhh I'm tired of the gun bars, you ain't got the range Like being spineless, talkin lumbar You don't find it strange? Boasting bout AKs to gain some manly praise So when you say you keep the strap on… ahh okay Why you rap about a life that you did not partake? (Aye, wait, aye) When we grew up, you wasn't gangster Now you ride that wave? Haha, look how times have changed Pocket watching all my loose change Ain't no common sense They throw their pennies in with opinions on the way I do thangs (Okay) Tie up the loose ends, and let the noose hang For nuisances announcing every time they cop a blue face Even sliding home, I can't be too safe Umpire, I ain't street in the slightest A bullet graze me, I'll hit notes like Mariah Social pariah, keep away from the crowds Won't gas me up, but turn up loud when others feeling my sound I keep my head down and stay grinding That's how this diamond in the rough is still shining I was rhyming for a while, but they was wildin' Told me "cut it out!" Now I'm on the radio, they finally gonn hear me out Emcee Millz has been amazing, still I find it strange (Ain't it insane though?) The same ones who called me crazy, now they call me great Hey, look how times have changed Swear they don't love you till the others do Support is looking minimal But once you blow, they showing the multiple ways they knowing you I know the truth Thought I was a fool to be an optimist But now you claim you always saw the vision, an optometrist I'm off of this The awkwardness of every interaction Cause to you I was just dreaming But for me it was my passion Put the action and the work behind it Now the stars aligning You tryna slide your way back in the starting five line up You funny, and fugazi! Your audacity's amazing I'm appalled you the gall to call me up, but it don't phase me I knew that snakes and fakes would be something I'd have to face So I pray that I make 'em pay for the days they doubted the name MILLZ! You a leech, and now I'm eating, you say "pass the plate" (You should be ashamed) You wasn't down, but now I'm up, you wanna elevate Man, look how times have changed I've been timeless! Some people just now catching the wave And that's okay But for the ones who knew me back in the day I can't believe you switching up now that I'm catching some fame That's why I say, look how times have changed, man (Haha. Nah, that's crazy for real though) I swear it must be Daylight Savings way that times have changed Look how times have changed

But all y'all ever do is bark on em Came inside the game, and you know I left my mark on em They thought rap was dead? Then I had to throw my heart on em Heart up on my sleeve still bleeding through the stitches Journeying from rags to riches Picking the path less trodden I'm honestly feeling different Depending on how I use my pen in these sessions Now check it Here's my message Bout to wreck it Better than your best man Been the G.O.A.T since I was breastfed Came a long way from sleeping over all them airbeds But still a far way from having diamonds on my necklace Now check it (You want me to catch it?) Nah, I got it big sis Please don't get it twisted Focused on the mission cause these people always switchin' Ballin like a Piston, when I talk these people listen They listen cause I'm gifted A witness to the things we had to overcome Under none, steady at the top cause we the chosen ones Know what's up I'm always spittin like a missing tooth It's Emcee Millz, and you know the truth Step into the booth it's straight chaos Never took a day off Swear that all my hard work gonn pay off That's why I spit my soul like De La For you to view like Deja A hater ain't gonn affect my pay stub Talking bout the same stuff, know you is not gangster Flexing on the internet, you catering to strangers Praying on my downfall because the youngin' came up They just mad cause we wouldn't let 'em change us Y'all be on that lame stuff I been in my bag now It's cause I'm getting money, maybe that be what they mad bout Broke as a joke, meanwhile I just been the class clown Game in a chokehold can't wait for it to tap out Hold on let me tap in, know I'm getting active Atlas, the way the game been carried on my back this Talent of mine is multifaceted The throne you sittin on, been gone I'm surpassing it I'm passionate bout rapping and stacking my cream The dream is to not be stagnant Till I got my house with a lake or something fancy Who's worthy of the torch? Competition been lackin Acting more like Magic I won't look where I'm passing Shout out to Skip the Kid We balling like Skip to my Lou We hear your track we skipping that! Back in school I was skipping class All that, you feel me? All that You already know who it is It's Emcee Millz in the stu Getting hectic with the crew Doing what I do (ya feel me?) Brought my brother to kill it too I told yall we really like that Stop playin with us bro Forreal

It's Emcee Millz I have a hard time Staying patient while I'm waiting for the masses to fully grasp all my greatness I'm shaking from frustration Of course I got the vision that God gave me But the way He paved the road it make me feel like we won't make it Am I crazy for questioning the message that he sent? Confirmation would be great to know the path I'm on is correct But my flesh is so content with second guessing every step in this direction I feel tempted to look back at what I've left Behind I told my mom to give me time I would love to see her retire from the way I write these rhymes So I let my pen glide on the paper Until I'm able to put food up on the table For my fam to feast on later I'm grateful From creating in closets, to standing on stages And Spotify playlists, and radio stations Amazing, I made it! (uhh) Not yet, but I'm so far from where I started A part of me is astonished at all that we have accomplished I ain't finished yet! I got goals that are so much greater than what I can write on paper Your speakers couldn't contain it if I chose to say it These are more than manifestations I'm living proof of what dreams could do in situations My potential been evident since the day I popped out the womb Till the tomb is my settlement, I put the effort in I want success here in the present tense while I'm alive and great But however long that the journey takes, it's worth the wait I know it's worth the wait Worth the wait Can you continue to stand firm while the sands of time diminish? My biggest fear is phasing out before I reach the finish If minutes turn to months and I'm stuck in the same position, I posit inside my mind that I wasn't meant for the mission Ambition extinguished In a culture more concerned with attaining achievements I find resting has been the biggest secret Sealed inside a place that I can't penetrate The twisted irony to see which is the first to break I had to pay, My dues using the currency of my mental state A barter system which I'm refusing participation Suffocating, while submerged under the flood of statements Searching for the one attached to your name in which you're saying, You're proud of me I probably work too hard to hear it And possibly If you said it now, I wouldn't believe it Undoubtedly I die a bit every time I see that All of my achievements don't bring me closer to what I'm reaching for Thinking songs could settle the score At war because I'm tethered to my constant need for more An overachiever and perfectionist at its finest Manipulating the finest details till I'm no longer solemn The final goal is to find joy within this middle ground I catch a glimpse before it pass away When tomorrow's trials are molded to the smile of yesterday I'll look back and say, I'm so glad you kept the faith Knew it'd be worth the wait It was worth the wait
