Good Morning 02:50
(Verse) Good Morning, Everybody. D-Rex is coming back. With his same oil flow, ready to go, time for him to rap. Going back to the game is a good wish. I get lit when I express myself to the culture, kid. My daily routine starts at 7 a.m. Had a good night sleep and a sweet dream About me becoming a successful guy. Got myself an honor award. I was like, “Alright!” After I dream, the sunlight woke me up. Realized that it’s a new day. Time to bust. Got off the bed yearning. My sleepy time’s up. Wasn’t tired that morning. But now I’m up. Ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, and took a shower. Made myself super fresh on that hour. Got dressed, D-Rex in the mirror said, “Start styling and get yourself paid!” What time is it? It’s 10:00. I’m in the grind mode mood. Gotta groove non-stop Stay dedicated to get what I want. Which is getting da knowledge, son. Getting my job is my number 1 priority. Gonna speak with my glory. Don’t need some worries. My self-belief gives me guts and courage. Bring the crowd the chills and thrills and make it hurt, kid. When I was with the dream team, We encourage people to choose the right and get the cream. Disabled or not, I’m sure y’all got potential. Train your minds a lot and control your mental. Gotta be brave to complete the challenge. Hard work equals talent. Do some damage, Prove yourselves. To the world that you will perform well. I’ve been enjoying the Hip-Hop game for years. Inspires me to bring the evil to shame. I let go my ego cause it creates arrogance. Arrogance is a crime. Being humble is da evidence. I’m from straight outta underground. It’s where I represent and create mo sounds. This is a new beginning. Start the day strong. Keep the fun last long. (Chorus) Good, Good, Good Morning to to the world. It is a new start. We will go hard. Positive energy defines happiness. Because daylight gives y’all da gladness. (2x)

My Tip Is 03:03
(Intro) D-Rex A.K.A (Verse 1) I walk around, Making sure that I watch myself. Analyzing the street scene and I can tell That there are the good and the bad everywhere. Their actions speaks the truth. It’s a fact, you hear? Wanna make new friends, gotta know them, first. Read their body languages and listen well, you heard? The question is what if they spread rumors? They assume alot and they lack sense of humor. Decided to be cool with them. Use caution. They might set u up then mess u up. Behind your back, they love to talk trash too much. Showing Envy said it all. So that is a bust. Can’t be too nice cause them fools will play games with u. Can’t be too mean cause them fools will jump or hit u. I will say stay neutral at all times, troop. If not, u might be out of line, dude. (Chorus) My Tip Is don’t be your own worst enemy Or else a bully will win and take away your energy. My Tip Is this Stay away from trouble and the fake-ish. (Verse 2) Be careful how you tell those your business. As a wise person, think about what you say. Get it? Chumps these days are shady. They tell bad jokes. Get booed off stage like the worst comedian, though. After you talk about your life They’ll be like, “Ok.” In the strangest way, ight? If they don’t talk about theirs, they’re hiding something. No good past. It is their problem. Nah mean? Once your conversion with this dude is done. He might hang out with the wrong crowd, don. Telling lies about you like a backstabber. Probably mad. Oh Well. He ain’t a master. Just a fake friend who doesn’t have heart. The joke is on him and he ain’t a star. Shows you his true color. A jealous bum Who loves to gossip and thinks he’s real hard, kid. (Chorus) Don’t be going to a stranger’s house. Leads to the trap. Don’t fall for that. Get attacked by a crook, black. I’m just telling you facts, so watch your back. For instance, a dude met a chick online. Send him a friend request. He accepted it then face timed. Made plans. Told him to meet her at her crib. He said, “Yeah.” Got ready and then he dip. As he waited, he saw the unexpected. A masked dude shot and killed him. That’s reckless. Catfishing is scamming. A fake account just stole someone else’s pic. I rather meet somebody in person, first. Decide if he’s or she’s trustworthy or not, g. This is the messed up world that we live in. But it is what it is (Chorus) (2x)

Patience 03:21
(Verse 1) I'm a calm person. Don’t wanna rush myself. Because I need more time to reach my prime. The more I practice, the more I shine. Becoming one of the best and then get what’s mine. It started when I first hit the studio. Put the headphones on and then spit my flow. After the session, the engineer played the track. Analyzing some mistakes that I made, black. Should’ve practiced before I started the game. Too excited for the moment. Then took it as a notice. Mistakes taught me how to solve my problems. I’ve learned and remembered it with heart. I got em. Getting better takes patience. Once I’ve learned it, I’ll make it. With all that confidence, I’ll take it. Practicing will give me greatness. (Chorus) We all know life takes patience. We all know time takes patience We all know finding pride takes patience. We all know finding might takes patience. (Verse 2) We all dreamed about getting an achievement and victory by making history. Pressuring yourselves will get you nowhere. Y’all will get lost. Gotta find time with care. Y’all can think about the future. But focus on the present. Visualizing what’s going on during the event. Gotta find your passions and then master it. If y’all did it, congrats! Y’all on the right path. Another thing, If y’all are on the same team. Give each other time to make ideas then get the cream. And the task that y’all working on won’t go so bad. Cause teamwork gets the job done fast like the flash. Take these words as guidance. Leads all of y’all to the path of lightness. And get what y’all need. Transform your dream into reality. (Chorus 2x) (Verse 3) Self-Respect comes first. Finding love comes second. Cause self-respect is what gives me no stress, kid. It also taught me about life. Finding love takes patience without frustration I mean it’s difficult to find a real woman Cause most of them act clique on each days. They rather communicate online and Social media is their boyfriend. Dating a bad girl means toxic relationship. Lying, cheating and manipulation, kid. I can’t make these chicks happy or else I W.I.L.L lose my real self. Women these days rejects good guys like me. In the end, It is their choices and loss, g. D-Rex is all I got for now. That’s all I have to say for now.

I Reminisce 03:18
(Verse 1) At age 3, I learned how to scratch the tape. Put my hat on sideways and was ready to play. Like urit urit urit. Made the disc super dizzy. Create da mix made me busy. They called me DJ Rizze. At age 11, I went to New York City. Birthplace of Hip-Hop and it never sleeps. Got inside the museum. Looked at every statue. Then walked around China Town and ate their food. At age 12, took a vacation in Orlando. The weather was warm and refreshing, though. Got on the pool, swimming around for a while. Then a day later, went to Universal with a smile. Their roller rides did give me the chills. Took me to the hill as I got the thrills. Those childhood memories will always be remembered. For, For, Forever. I Reminisce. (Chorus) I Reminisce, I Reminisce (14x) (Verse 2) At age 17, I became a high school senior. Willing to do the work like a dedicated dreamer. Took a bus. Drop me off to the school entrance. Saying what’s up to the peeps. Got in and out of class, man. Me and my football team won a championship game. We worked so hard and the fans screamed our team name. At the gym, did some push-ups and played basketball. Gotten stronger and better at my shots, overall. Few days later, I wore a black and white tuxedo. Looking like a spy from .007, yo. Went to the senior prom, dancing with da women. Chatted, took pics, had a blast and then Performed at the showcase a month later. People said, “Yeah, D-Rex!!” As I got greater. So I went with the flow. Broke the microphone in the danger zone. These memorable moments Brings me joy and happiness, boy. I’m being for real, kid. I Reminisce. (Chorus) (16x)

(Verse) I was born in an artist’s brain. The canvas was on da table. Gotta get paid, yo. Got all of the supplies. Ready for a surprise. Couldn’t wait for the event. Time for da rise. He grabbed a pencil. Draw a pic of the kaiju. I was looking fresh to death. Gotta remind you That kaiju means monster in Japanese. Straight up facts and I didn’t make it up, black. He added the road, buildings, the sun and my atomic beam. Painted my skin gray and black. Indeed. My claws, teeth, dashed lines and the sun all yellow. My spines, atomic beam and the sky all blue, yo. Left my eyes all white. Made me look like a zombie. Being an undead kaiju was incredibly awesome, b. Added Japanese letters at the bottom. Plus the translation. No problem. Colored Japanese and English letters red. The road all black. Different colors on each building, friend. An artist was happy about how I look. Got the intimidation that made my foes shook. After he finished, He asked the teacher if he can check me out. No doubt. Teacher said, “Whoa! That work that you did is off da chain!” An artist said, “Thanks! Do you know the kaiju’s name? He replied, “Godzilla.” That was correct. Grew up watching kaiju films. They were da best. Gojira is the Japanese name for the monster. I’m just teaching you history, youngster. An artist took me to the exhibition room a month later. People looked at other drawings including me, player. His fans came up to an artist and said, “Man, that looks pretty good!” That made his day. I’ve been sold. His mission was successful, bro. I am also on the magazine cover, brother. I, The Godzilla Painting, was created in 2011 at Downtown Prov, kid. (Chorus) (2x) The Imagination is an artist’s tool. Which made him thought, “I’ll release him by drawing, dude.” His support showed him the admiration. It’s all thanks to me, The Imagination.

(Intro) D-Rex on the track (Verse 1) Important ones are those who care about the most. Like you know, family, close friends and such, bro. Wanna see them grow. Show people who got soul. They’ll be like, “Ohh, he’s dope and on the roll.” I was there for my family day by day. If they need something, D-Rex will be on his way. Just like they did when I was a little boy. Who enjoys eating mushrooms then grow big and strong, kid. Just wanna thank my beautiful mom. For motivating me alot and told me don’t stop. Taught me how to be a better person when it comes to life. Kept it real by raising me right. She is the most important one to me. Her support is all I need. She needs mine too, g. Show her the appreciation and gratitude. She is da true queen in my heart. I love you, mom dukes. (Chorus) Ooo, This is for The Important Ones (2x) (Verse 2) My brother from another mother is an important one. We always give each other some advice, son. Enjoyed the time at the comic con. Got to meet heroes like Black Panther and Spidey, don. Been best friends since pre-school. Grew up with power of knowledge. That made us cool. He is a great dude and we got each other’s backs, 2. Our brotherhood is strong. That is the truth. The relationship with G.O.D is great. Gave me dat winning mentality without anxiety. Shows forgiveness after I sin. And I was thankful and grateful. My uncle’s in the sky. Watching me grind. Wanted me to shine. Go primetime since ‘09. Those childhood memories were unforgettable. Had some amazing moments. How incredible. He’s smiling right now. Made him so proud. No doubt. I’ll see him in heaven. Giving a shout out To those who support me, yo. This is for The Important Ones. (Chorus) (2x)

I Miss Them 03:24
(Verse 1) The first verse is for the people that I know. Which includes family members and friends, yo. They traveled to the clouds To see Father God and the angels, no doubt. I miss my auntie so much. She was a kind person and told me, “I love” “U.” Every time we see each other. I won’t forget these moments, brother. My fallen friend slash teammate Was one of the coolest dudes from back in the days. We hung out and pushed each other to the limits. Got better every week and helped each other win. The girl who I went to high school with was fun and chill. I definitely will See her, my auntie and teammate in the sky. I wish they’re still here. No lie. I Miss Them (Verse 2) The second verse is for the fallen rappers and actors. There were the X-Factor Of The Hip-Hop Game. They’re in a hall of fame. Their legacy never dies and we know their names. Grew up listening to DMX. His energy was off da charts and made him fresh. He was talented and passionate About MCing since the 90’s. No stress. I’ll say this, “D.O.G.S For Life.” He got the lord’s sign. Guru from Gangstarr Kept the monotone style on file. Chased the mass appeal with Premo. They were the ownerz back then. They made cream, yo. MF Doom, The Illest Villain Devoured the mic on stage with his rage. Drank one beer after his peeps said, “cheers.” I wish them dudes were still here. Rest in peace, Prodigy, Big L, Phife Dawg J-Dilla, ODB and Biz Markie. I Miss Them (Outro) Rest in peace Black Rob, Left Eye and Aaliyah. I Miss Them.

(Intro) Allow me to introduce myself My name is Mr. Rex! (Verse 1) Class in session. Question is what’s today’s lesson? Math to the Matics and it is not a test, kid. Word Problem, everybody. So Pay attention. Take notes as I take y’all to another dimension. Biggie Smalls created two Hip-Hop CDs. From Brooklyn, NewYork. Where he started his first rap scene. Tupac made four albums during his time. All eyez were on him in his prime. What’s the difference between both of them? Is there a solution to the problem? S-U-R-E and I’m thinking subtraction. Take a number away from another, time for some action. 4-2=2 Biggie made less albums than Tupac,dude. I’m glad that all of y’all have learned from this. Y’all should be proud of yourselves. Class dismissed. (Chorus) These are the Things That I’ve Learned. Studying takes time. Trust me you’ll earn. Greatness and knowledge. Gotta stay focus. Follow your dreams and allows have high hopes, kid. (Verse 2) Well, well, well, class is back in session. Prehistoric timeline is another lesson. The time machine is locked and loaded, though. Let’s go back when dinos first rule Planet Earth, yo. It begins in the Triassic Period. 237 million years ago. I’m serious. The Archosaur hunts its prey for survival. Took miles to find it then demolished its rival. Fast forward to 65 million years ago. Cretaceous Period. It’s time to blow. The Tyranno and Triceratops fought their last breath. Til the meteor crash landed brought them to their deaths. Dino fossils first discovered in 1819. Told archaeologists their story without words, see? All of y’all did a great job for this. Mr. D-Rex will say, “Class dismissed!” (Chorus) (Outro) R.I.P B.I.G R.I.P Tupac

Representing realness all day. Understand? (Understood! That’s why you got consistency.) Exactly! Like Nas, my style is nasty. Right now, my question to u is How can I, D-Rex, be one of the best?

(That’ll be dope! But first, get the knowledge, brother.) You are absolutely correct, homie. Step into the arena, D-Rex style, g. I ain’t a gangsta or a thug in the real world. Wasn’t built for that lifestyle and won’t be worthwhile. But I’m an artist. I think creativity like a genius. I mean it. (Well said!) Thanks, Man. Another question is Can you please tell me what it's like when you first spit? (Ok. Started rhyming when I was 12 years old.) (Wrote lyrics, tested my skills, made the people go, “whoa!”) (Headed to the studio, recording my song.) (I was bad like LL Cool J, son.) (And then, I got the cash). (Performed on stage saying, “I’m classic like that!”) (Got mad energy. That’s why the crowd respects me.) (Took it as a Grammy Award. You feel me?) Heck yeah! D.O.P.E story! (Darn Right!) Talk about glory! Good looks for helping me out, man! (No doubt, kid!) Your words made me understand. (Chorus) This is how I spit my game. With my talent, I will put them cowards to shame. (This is how I spit my game). (With my talent, I will put them cowards to shame.) (Outro) Peace Ray-Ray! (Peace D-Rex!)

(Verse 1) Every Week, I be living and learning. Make progress and projects. I’ll be earning Respect. Because of my self-worth Chose to be a pro. It takes practice, bro. My mind power gets stronger after I learn from my mistakes. I get wiser day by day. Get stressed out. So what? I am freshed out. My past is a learning experience. No doubt. Every single week, I challenge myself. Need growth for my life. Am I Right? (You’re Right!) Facing tough times can be painful. I can overcome them with my brain, though.

It makes my mind super wealthy. That is what makes me a real emcee. It is my passion. I create magic. 27 and forever young. Aging can’t stop me from making the funk. Staying active is my everyday thing. Taking good care of myself and my health. Every single week, I avoid the worst. Like negative energy and the hurt. I’m drama free. Dislike to argue. Can’t let them rude suckers irritate me all day (You tell em, Rex!) Walking away is da solution. No more pollution. The Struggle is real. But We’ll get through it, y’all. Stay strong, stay long and stand tall. (Chorus) (Outro) D-Rex and (Ray-Ray!) Good looks for the ad libs! (No doubt, homie!) 2021, y’all, Peace! (Peace, y’all!)
