“The L Word”
(Verse 1)
What up my people all over the world
Especially those listening my boys and girls
I’m so happy to see you this time so soon
Let’s party tonight until tomorrow at noon
We celebrating so throw your hands up
In fact go nuts let the place erupt
Get hyped if you’re feeling all right
Even crazier than a gambler for a prize fight
Let’s get tight and oh so close together
So no matter what happens we can handle any weather
You’re my family ya’ll just want you to know
In fact you’re always with me no matter where I go
Either with evil toe-to-toe or sitting in the church row
It’s you my people that convicts me to grow
This is a party with a word dedicated rhyme
Same thing God’s been saying since the dawn of time
(Bridge)
The first word said is often the last heard
It’s become extinct like the toucan bird
The thought that brings life is so absurd
See what happens next time you say the L word
(Hook) X2
I love you bro and sis turn you cheeks for a kiss
It’s ya’ll that I miss so lets spread the loveliness
I luh-luh-luh-luh-luh love you
I luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh love you
(Verse 2)
You heard it from above yea it’s that word love
Unconditional the best that you’ve hear of
I can’t get enough and I gotta give more
Selling love like a salesman from door to door
Big difference though this product is free
Without question just like the giving tree
If you think I’m the dopest emcee or straight wack
A musical prodigy or an old washed up hack
Support my music or hate the way I use it
I may never see your faces but I love ya’ll anyways
But fact is your hearing this so you must know me
And that right there is the type of support I need
Indeed paying it forward like Haley Joel Osmant
I’m your biggest fan to get you hyped is the plan
I rap but primarily loving is what I do
My good friends I’m here to do this for you
(Bridge)
The first word said is often the last heard
It’s become extinct like the toucan bird
The thought that brings life is so absurd
See what happens next time you say the L word
(Hook) X2
I love you bro and sis turn you cheeks for a kiss
It’s ya’ll that I miss so lets spread the loveliness
I luh-luh-luh-luh-luh love you
I luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh love you
(Verse 3)
I love ya’ll we’ll be having a ball
Every time you fall I’ll answer your call
I’ll do my best to be there like superman
Just a reminder if you’re sitting I need you to stand
The plan is to get love up in this place
And with everybody I wanna see joy on your face
Big smiles bright and shinning
Share in this feast both the dieting and dinning
Love willing the good of another
I will good music to listen to brother
Sharing love with every person you see
We got to be ferociously loving for free
To those in need even those with the green
Reach beyond ourselves with God’s help
Simple like a peapod or like the ocean big and broad
It ain’t no façade cause love is God
(Bridge)
The first word said is often the last heard
It’s become extinct like the toucan bird
The thought that brings life is so absurd
See what happens next time you say the L word
(Hook) X4
I love you bro and sis turn you cheeks for a kiss
It’s ya’ll that I miss so lets spread the loveliness
I luh-luh-luh-luh-luh love you
I luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh love you

“Yes You All”
(Verse 1)
Hello everybody
In case you didn’t know the name’s Case Study
Blasting off just like a space ship
Rapping a little bit like all your favorites
I got an idea call me Lil Case
L – I – L that’s how I’ll be great
Yea, rap at this pace
Use it like a worm we can call bait
Waiting for a bite like someone else’s birthday cake
Icing the tracks like a rappers face
I mean mouth I mean grill
The point is to have my face on the bills
Cause for realz I got skillz
How the beat feelz I handle my dealz
With girls in healz and guys so chillz
Electric like eelz when my words spillz
(Hook) X2
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
(Verse 2)
What now what I rap about
The same things to make me stand out
I’m kinda young and still learning
And big bills I’m not earning
So now call me Yung Study
Y – U – N – G cause I’m so G
Gangsta that’s how I gotta be
Cause I’m from LA homie
Unlike adobe acrobat cause I cant navigate that
Or Waka Flocka rhymes I don’t understand that
But what’s it matter listen to the beat
Dance to it with both your left feet
Hands up in the air just like you don’t care
Get out of your chair erase the fuzzy like Nair
In this music I share I growl like a bear
Never unfair I come with the flare
(Hook) X2
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
(Verse 3)
I’ll sing a tune for all to hear
Download it on your ipod and stick it in your ear
Have no fears in July I’ll give you Christmas cheers
Like Santa walking in a bar asking for a beer
Upholding his image without a name to smear
Out back reindeer when he heads out the rear
Jump in the slay kick it into full gear
Handing out gifts like this track right here
And nothing’s for free except a song from me
The name is Case Study yea check it B
In fact I got a some EP’s free of charge
Take the love and put down the guard
In my request I’m not asking for a lot
Just the time it takes to listen to me talk
An open mind and a ready heart
And maybe some cookies and milk then I’ll part
(Hook) X2
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll
Yes you all, yes yes ya’ll

Taking It Back

“Taking It Back”
(Verse 1)
It goes boom bap I’m taking it back
Remember when real mc’s knew how to rap
This is one drop on the tongue of the heaviest hit
Spit it on the mic as I grip it and rip it
Nonsense cause I got no sense left
So I send it past the words to tear up the treble cleft
To reach the peak and pinnacle of flow
I’ll keep on bringing it until the system’s on overload
I bring destruction and I shred the peace
With a piece of release understood as I unleash
A whole world bending on this axis
And the fact is everything bashes and mashes
Kick open the door and reveal the reality
But how can this be all their words are logical fallacy
Oh well let’s go and rebuild the city
The foundation is the classics grimy and gritty, it goes
(Hook) X2
Boom bap I’m taking it back
Boom bap boom boom bap
Boom bap I’m taking it back
Boom bap boom boom bap
(Verse 2)
It goes boom bap I’m taking it back
Feel the ruggedness of a real raw track
Boom in the speak while the treble battles the bass
Erase the energy and replace it with just a taste
Skip the beat as we shake the ground
Surround the sound as I serenade the noun
Bump this beat and repeat and repeat
Then I’ll introduce something new for a previewed sneak peak
I mention a whole reality in saying just one word
And once I had acted the whole world was stirred
Cause I was bored with the movement of the heard
Did you hear what I heard so many silly songs absurd
That’s the disaster of this fantastic damage
Revolutions of a revolution what we manage
But escape is what happens to the mesmerized men
Hypnotized by size burned in the brain never to end, it goes
(Hook) X2
Boom bap I’m taking it back
Boom bap boom boom bap
Boom bap I’m taking it back
Boom bap boom boom bap
(Verse 3)
It goes boom bap I’m taking it back
Case Study you remember that
It’s unsound the interjection of my introduction
Beginning to end every facet of the function
Congregates a constitution collectively
Specifically in speaking spontaneously
So come one come all to the boom bap ball
Answer the call and get ready to brawl
Fist to fist I’ll break your wrist
And miss your mama’s kiss I’m ending the bliss
Bringing it back to an age that never died
Hip hop lives and won’t end no matter who tries
So I’ll rock and wont think to stop
I’ll take it to the top, I only got one shot
Bring it to the system and hit it with a shock
Tear up the spot and continue to ro-rock, it goes
(Hook) X4
Boom bap I’m taking it back
Boom bap boom boom bap
Boom bap I’m taking it back
Boom bap boom boom bap

“MixBreak Pt. 2”
The rise of a star the setting of the son
60 the new 20’s focused on free fun
Spring break Cancun too soon chest fake
Beware slithering serpent sneaky snake
Do whatever it takes so now what do you say
What happened there stays there, yea okay
So it’s part of the past on a path walked
That could have been avoided from a conversation never talked
You shocked, I didn’t think so
Numb from the darkness too good to know
We all try to fill in needs never met
Place a bet on the odds it’s a train wreck
Most think they’re hungry for meat to slaughter
Really they’re just thirsty for some water
The brand you can only get from the author
So fill in the emptiness from our Father
Wait one second what is it that we happen to have here
A devoted rapper who’s switching up on the gears
Changing expectations as he’s moving up in years
And tossing underwear with unpleasant type smears
Rapping in quality comparable to standards
Except I wont sell out to executive planners
Gain the whole world and loose your soul
The only way up is to loose control
So I’ll loose control on every song I wrote
Consider this a joke when I talk to my folks
Professional rapping that don’t pay the bills
It just pays your owner with cooperate deals
Except for me, I’m an independent artist
Dependent on the forefathers that started this
So I’m an artist, recognize my trials
One hand up the other on my bible

Dedicated Time

“Dedicated Time”
(Verse 1)
Step back, look around wonder why we’re here
See all my friends and peers change throughout the years
Each person moves on or becomes trapped within fears
Their tears force them to refuse to draw near
So here I am cold and afraid
Forced to have contact at a distant gaze
But its gotta end here and I gotta step out
Interact with one person, a whisper or shout
One person after another I carry on conversations
All this small talk makes me loose patience
No serious talk to busy with the walk
Building up these walls we use to block
I’m gonna put this brink down hear to every sound
Found within silence to beats of my heart pound
Stand still for just one second
And no word is important enough to mention
(Hook) X2
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
One man’s pain is another man’s pleasure
Sometimes I think life’s too much to measure
Being crushed under my own pressure
(Verse 2)
Rising before dawn for the long drive
Getting there early and staying late at the hive
Gone before the kids wake, back when they’re in bed
Working hard to make sure that they get ahead
For his wife the kids and work wasn’t enough
They stopped going out so she stopped getting dressed up
Quality time dropped to the bottom of the list
Now they lay in bed thinking of memories missed
The kids are playing sports and going to school
Hanging with friends trying to be cool
Fighting the rules during their teenage stage
These kids need their parents so much at this age
They need each other just like we all do
Its sad but to be alone is something we all choose
That wont the help the pain but this will bring ease
Sit down and spend time to shoot the breeze
(Hook) X2
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
One man’s pain is another man’s pleasure
Sometimes I think life’s too much to measure
Being crushed under my own pressure
(Verse 3)
Sssshhhh… Silence
Helps us see through our own life’s violence
Celebrate silence to keep your soul feed
It’s good advice when you face starts turning red
Cause words said faster often bring on disaster
But master yourself then open up and share that chapter
Living the fast paced city life may get you the green
That’s to fast for most, to be alone is a tragic scene
A husband’s a husband and a father’s a father
A wife’s a wife and a mother’s a mother
God had a reason to put you on this earth
So realize what you were made to be first
Give birth to time within your own life
To exist without it is like a stab with a knife
It’s a slow and painful way to go
Give time to yourself and others dedicated to grow
(Hook) X2
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
One man’s pain is another man’s pleasure
Sometimes I think life’s too much to measure
Being crushed under my own pressure

Take It

“Take It”
(Intro)
I give it to you, I give it to you
I pray that you take, I pray that you take it
I give it to you, I give it to you
I pray that you take, I pray that you take it
(Verse 1)
What makes me unable to escape this fascination
Something I can’t have I’m told can be acquired with patience
But this process if far beyond any experience
I’m so anxious from the fact that I fear a kiss
So I resist my temptation to act
I look back and only see tragedy in the past
Yours maybe truth is it’s mine mostly
Cause I was always told that this was for free
I gave constantly and got little return
Scared for life like a third degree burn
It’s as if we’re ruled by our memories
One bad one is enough to make you tense and freeze
Where words like please don’t exist
But there still thought of as thoroughly missed
So every time I lay down I still pray for you
And wake up the next day writing to get me through
(Hook) X2
I didn’t know what to say so I wrote it down
Hoping that between the line my emotions could be found
So here I stand vulnerable and naked
I’m giving my heart and I pray that you take it
(Verse 2)
I spent so many hours putting in work
But at times it’s useless cause we both still hurt
I’m not there when you need me makes me feel like a jerk
But seeing you once will make me smile all day
With a touch that sooth this savage beast to lay
And I long to hear you say it’s okay
With eyes that can look right into my soul
Stand back and watch as my life unfolds
Now I don’t think I’m ready for the next step
Fast forward to the future to be held in your arms to rest
Like a distant dream only found when I sleep
Grasped so close in recesses so deep
A place where just the two of us can speak
Here alone we can spend time to reach
And I’m giving you the keys to come on in
I’ll wait hoping this won’t come to an end
(Hook) X2
I didn’t know what to say so I wrote it down
Hoping that between the line my emotions could be found
So here I stand vulnerable and naked
I’m giving my heart and I pray that you take it
(Verse 3)
So many times I put my life on the line
Dreading the daily grind waiting for a moment to shine
Is it so bad to say I want a part of you to be mine
But if I didn’t say that then I guess I’d be lying
So I’m standing in the rain watching my world fall apart
And part by part I’m torn through the heart
But when this night started I didn’t want it to end
Even if there’s pain I want your reality rather than pretend
So send me something as a token of affection
I just want your best not a matter of perfection
I’m giving you my all piece by piece
My heart is full so my emotions must release
So here it is all that I got
I’m giving it to you whether you want it or not
There it is take it do what you will
Nothing else I give you could ever be so real
(Hook) X2
I didn’t know what to say so I wrote it down
Hoping that between the line my emotions could be found
So here I stand vulnerable and naked
I’m giving my heart and I pray that you take it

Goodbye

“Goodbye”
(Verse 1)
I can’t believe this day is finally here
The ambiance wiped away all my cheer
And I had no idea the repercussions of my choice
Would lead me to hear that shocking voice
They said you probably wont survive the night
Stunned my emotions reached a whole new height
So soon my life will be torn from your sight
But a part of my still holds on
Cause I want to move on like nothings wrong
So I cling to this world before I’m gone
The hardest thing is to let go
Especially when the time to go is something I don’t know
It’s out of my hands, it’s too big to hold
This last hand’s been dealt, I’m ready to fold
But I was told to live on until the last breath
Till there’s nothing left then you can welcome death
(Hook) X2
Face it we’re gonna come to our end
Embrace the let go or continue the pretend
Honestly I don’t know if I’m ready to die
But just in case I wanna say goodbye
(Verse 2)
People remember me through memories
And what I’ve left behind in my legacy
But often it’s not plain to see what’s easily seen
For this final scene I tried living feasibly clean
And I wish I had impacted somebody
Probably not I’m just your average nobody
A simple man with just his life to live
I spent so much time on all the things I want to give
Good and bad alike I often gave it all
Now I know I got nothing left, I hear the reaper’s call
There are things I’ve done for which I’m so sorry
If I did them to you please forgive me
But there are other things that I’m not sorry for
Things just happen to leave your heart sore
And tonight this is one of those times
Everything happens for something, follow the signs
(Hook) X2
Face it we’re gonna come to our end
Embrace the let go or continue the pretend
Honestly I don’t know if I’m ready to die
But just in case I wanna say goodbye
(Verse 3)
I got to let go and truly be free
The thing I need most a death from me
I open my arms to sacrifice my life
Cause I have been crucified with Christ
Time to leave this world in which I dwell
But before I got I’ve got something to tell
Goodbye to all of my loved ones
Those at the end to those when my life begun
To my father, mother, sister, and brother
Friends, acquaintances, those in category of other
If I met you, saw you, you played a party
And thus you carry a place deep in my heart
But upon death my heart is broken into sections
My death has become my greatest blessing
So this goodbye is only see you later in heaven
Until that day comes for my resurrection
(Hook) X2
Face it we’re gonna come to our end
Embrace the let go or continue the pretend
Honestly I don’t know if I’m ready to die
But just in case I wanna say goodbye
