THE FUEL EP

 

 

1 - KONCEPT & J57 "PORCELAIN" feat HOLLIS

 

VERSE 1 (Koncept)

 

I've started in a land below the sea level damn it's cold/ 

the beach getting washed away our homes shouldn't stand this close/ 

The music keeps playing, saying who wants to dance alone/ 

This beats turning sand to stone - film it with a drone, 

well, where's your phone? uploading,/

uprooted - just human, trust then get fucked, it is abusing, it's just music/ 

 

My stress level doesn't understand why you want to be with me/ 

I just want to feel complete, I'm just just trying to live my dreams/ 

but I never get to sleep with no ambience, 

you need to call an ambulance - heads broken, hammer it/ 

 

the pain like you never felt it, - if you felt it/ 

touch it get your hand scorched, face melting, pick your poison, get to shelter/

 

freezing without a warm blanket/ 

no one warned me when was sober more anxious/ 

Inhale it to breathe now, I'm always exhausted/ 

my fam thinks I've lost it, and you think I'm awesome, which really is it?

 

CHORUS (Hollis)

 

Every day I'm hitting the pavement getting my weight up/

I'm ready to go/

and every night when I'm holding the mic/

it's like turning the light on inside of my soul/

 

In this world we'll try to crack me to the core I know/

But it won't break me today/

No it won't break me today/

or ever/

 

VERSE 2 (Koncept)

 

If cost an arm I've lost a leg, heart made of porcelain/ 

can't die, can't be born again/

started in a war against all this world of sin/

hang you from the tree by a hook you're an ornament/ 

all law and order frisk/

this isn't audited/ 

now you're getting ordered to call up the Pharmacist/ giving up that arm again/

 

Careful what you wish fo(r), and even more so/ 

cause when it gets thick it is your show/ 

It is you that is responsible/

I can go out and get that pot of gold and always keep my problems closed/ 

the weight that no box can hold/

what's in your shoe box/ 

we seen 2Pac, Biggie - don't know who shot/ 

Robin William, a mind that gets robbed then killed when/ 

-inside, I'm just trying to find the ceiling/ 

so I can climb out of this hole in control/

All my time's fulfilling, I've built it/ 

 

CHORUS (Hollis)

 

Every day I'm hitting the pavement getting my weight up/

I'm ready to go/

and every night when I'm holding the mic/

it's like turning the light on inside of my soul/

 

In this world we'll try to crack me to the core I know/

But it won't break me today/

No it won't break me today/

or ever/

 

VERSE 3 (Koncept)

 

Don't let it hit the ground - texture's extra soft/

the loss can cost an extra grip for down -payments to fit the sound/ 

it is never soft & sound like your momma wanted,/

my father promised - before was dying, you see what that got me/ 

 

can shatter right infront of your feet, be so careful/ 

a whole handful, the phones ringing, the phone don't answer/ 

there's no pickups, I don't work with what don't get my soul lifted/

there's no slippers - I keep walking/

the coals blister right under my feet - I don't lift em/

there's no bitchin/ 

 

I can't let it break apart us/ 

Whys my porcelain the softest/ 

[3x]

 

BRIDGE (J57)

 

All this porcelain is why I lye awake/

And I aint got all day, and I got all damn day

All this porcelain is why I lye awake/

And I aint got all day, and I got all damn day

No/

and I got all damn day

and I got all damn day

and I got all damn day

No/

 

CHORUS (Hollis)

 

In this world we'll try to crack me to the core I know/

But it won't break me today/

No it won't break me today/

or ever/

2 - KONCEPT & J57 "EXCITEMENT" feat ATR

 

VERSE 1 (Koncept)

 

I'll smile when my banker is as happy as my life is/

I'm a lifer/

left my light on, I'm writing/

I like it exciting, to write on an island/

for now in my building near Brighton/

See "Flight" is that next shit, now coach with a slight grin/

still smiling cause life is/

Like i said, it's exciting/ 

I've climbed from the bottom of the slums with my knife gripped/

never let nobody's mind switch/

I'm him, your not/

4 shots, buck buck/

luckily the gun stuck, cause some shots are undone/

I'm so excited, my whole life I've know I'd open eyelids/

when Michael died getting high I said I'd open skies up/

so high my rise surprised by those that eye'd me/

but it's time let's fly before the night meets/

love to sight see, but slightly blind/

still life seems alright/

You walking aint you?/

talk of what your father gave you/

mother made you dinner at your coffee table/

yo when more hate more is poppin/

more excitement/

I see where life goes, for now I let the dice spin/

head spinning, get with it, rest in my 70's/

best weed, best spliffs, the best they deliver it/

exciting aint it?/

got a flight to make the taxis waiting/

yo stop the traffic, i have to make it/

yo a car pool shows up/

I went to an art school with all girls, so what/

was tied down, no fun/

A grown up, but probably never grow up, so what/

drink 8, and get another 4 cups, hold up/

 

CHORUS (ATR)

 

Feeling time on my side/

King of my own life/

[2x]

 

VERSE 2 (Koncept)

 

They said you cant make it better than this one/

So I went and recorded on this one/

When you gonna stop pretending to miss us/

I just wish you remembered you wished once/

And you can see the excitement in his eyes/

the same blues, the same tears that fell far/

the same liquor, same heart that hell scarred/

that feel apart - what was dark, now lit, a great start/

Song's got a new spark, car drives, gas filled/

But let's chill, don't want to tell til' our plan's skilled/

rolled, burns perfectly, and keeps smoking/

Pulse, eyes open, our speeds keep growing/

I feel we about to take off of this bitch/

I felt it even before they offered us shit/

And now we sitting down with these bosses and shit/

Just about to be named the boss of this shit/

Adrenaline is pumping/

can feel it in my Pumps and/

In my nu..(nuts) and when I'm fu...(fucking)/

and you can fill in those blanks/

I keep laughing/ 

but keep suffering inside'/

see it happens/

At this moment feel great so let's keep it/

more drinking, more fun, and less sleeping/

Parachuting, paragraphs off white mountains/

Power moving, power makes it climb thousands/

Don't climb down it, there's no harness/

There's no harm in trying, alarmed if don't though/

I am looking for a ride up/

where's your Volvo/

I ain't going back to so broke/

I'd rather drink a 4 loco with some broke mans coc/

be solo dancing to a slow jam home/

No power in my house so the tunes just in my head/

Well, I ain't going back to this/

 

BRIDGE (ATR)

 

Move, keep moving on/

Move Keep Moving on/

 

HOOK (ATR)

 

Feeling time on my side/

King of my own life/

[2x]

 

And I'm singing till the end

singing till the end

And Im singing till the end

singing till the end

3 - KONCEPT & J57 "THE FUEL" feat AKIE BERMISS

 

HOOK (Akie Bermiss)

 

When the fever is on baby just cut me lose/

Fuel, and you can give me ton, I shall not be moved/

Give me that fire/

Baby, watch and learn/

Give me that fire/

Stand back and watch me burn/

 

VERSE 1 (Koncept)

 

So you been gassed up, now gas low/

Can laugh first, but laugh slow/

cause won't laugh with that flat tire in Nebraska/

no cash flow/

Now regret being such an asshole/

And that's the fuel I used on my last tour in El Paso/

3 wheels on this icy road/

nice to know the bends and curves/

Why the fuck you trying to learn the ending first?/

It's that fuel pumping/

you'll love to see the scenic route/

all these leaves changing each state has different hues/

streets are fueled/

to eat with a different spoon/

no spray can help you bronze it/

the way that my mom did/

You need to believe in you/

Fuel just ain't the gas pump/

The Fuel can move us faster/

The Fuel's lit, can't breathe/

The Fuel that fools the asthma/ 

Now may I/

not include/

sorry i am so rude/

forgot to introduce/

my own abuse in this chapter/

Get the coffee started, pass the sugar/

to fuel the day, fool my morning/

Mourning, fuels to live longer/

No, please pass the sugar?/

I wont ask again/

I'll just use it as fuel when I laugh at them/

FUEL UP/

Cool story, bro, got it/

no father drives him/

farther/

don't bother asking for his license/

 

HOOK (Akie Bermiss)

 

When the fever is on baby just cut me lose/

Fuel, and you can give me ton, I shall not be moved/

Give me that fire/

Baby, watch and learn/

Give me that fire/

Stand back and watch me burn/

 

VERSE 2 (Koncept)

 

So where you get your fuel from?/

that Hess or that Sunoco?/

the same place you buy your blunts/

I'm guessing your Ho-Ho's/

Mine is the place of my employer/

I'd like to set a match to the fuel/

light the fire; his apartment/

Premium, unleaded/

steaming from my temples/

I wish I had insurance for beating up this rental/

One choice, life or, I'm quite sure/

I'll walk away the champion/

I'll revamp it and I'll fight for it/

I seen a man once elevate a truck with his own arms/

I'm sure you'd do the same for your own son with no prob/

A woman feed her kid full meals having no job/

and she did it with her clothes on/

I've bene kick starting my engine far too long now/

I've seen too many planes in the sky fall down/

I've fueled for this cross country drive/

with some water and supplies/

see the fuel in his heart in his eyes/

3 years old living in my uncles basement/

20 years later smoking blunts with cousin David/

a heart so strong you can tell his mother raised him/

The Fuel is what has always been there to make it/

 

HOOK (Akie Bermiss)

 

When the fever is on baby just cut me lose/

Fuel, and you can give me ton, I shall not be moved/

Give me that fire/

Baby, watch and learn/

Give me that fire/

Stand back and watch me burn/

VERSE 1 (Koncept)

 

If you fall, fall for something/ 

let the L catch you/ 

it's all or nothing/

never all for nothing/ 

please don't yell at me/ 

leopard skin tight pants, leather with those tight legs/ 

always let the light in, so I can see you baby/ 

Sometimes I like to let you win/ 

before I surpass you/ 

never look back at the past me/ 

that would bring me down so badly/ 

right now I have to get it in/ 

Love cost a price much deeper than the loss of your pocket/ 

open up the door when it's knocking/ 

focus being boss in your office/

notice I am off on an island/ 

sorry officer, force whatever's out out out out from inside of ya/ 

hope you have just a little pride in ya/ 

hear is my voice, you should share it through your monitor, monitor, monitor...

 

HOOK (Neveah)

 

Look at what you made me/

It's kinda sort of crazy/

Please beauty take me over/

I swear I'll be a soldier/

would you love me/

 

VERSE 2 (Koncept)

 

You don't know but you can think/ 

you won't go if you can't see/ 

put your mind to it, I fly to, I flew from it/ 

on low stomach, hello summit/

good bye father, hello lover/

I do touch it, she does love it, I flew to it/ 

What world they on/

the world's chaos, that world is gone/ 

hello summer. hello summer, hello summer/

 

My blue eyes may see different than yours do/ 

my see green - may be back breaking/

I take that in, I break that in/

it's not taking this mans patience/

this land shakes us we're tax paying/ 

 

And who hasn't wanted to drive off the bridge/ 

for always being told on who's life to live/

 

and who fights with just 2 vices/

I burn L's and they burn nicer/

with Makers in a cup I'll have 2 ice cubes/ 

this world's chaos is so simple/

to just leave it/

so why bother guess we need it/ 

guess we need it, don't believe it/

don't believe it, don't believe it/

 

HOOK - extended (Neveah)

 

Look at what you made me/

It's kinda sort of crazy/

Please beauty take me over/

I swear I'll be a soldier/

would you love me/

Could you love me/

Tell me that I'm special/

please don't break my heart/

we should fly so high about the weather/

could you love me/

 

 

BRIDGE (Koncept)

 

This chaos is beautiful delicate voices/ 

way past the usual no one can force it/ 

Chaos is beautiful chaos is beautiful 

Chaos is beautiful Chaos is...

This chaos is beautiful delicate voices/ 

way past the usual no one can force it/ 

way past the usual way past the usual/

way past the usual we should endorse it/

6- KONCEPT & J57 "JUMP" feat AKIE BERMISS

 

VERSE 1 (Koncept)

 

You seen a boy watch him trip on his own feet/ 
shoe laces tied by his own fam/ 
he thought was his own team/ 
new friends, new plans, new drugs died with his old man/ 
don't get stuck on that old shit/ 
I am my own King/
and if you know Keith you know Kon/ 
fuck that doorman gig now have my own job/ 
got no pops, the best mom/ 
you probably know that already if you fucked me from the start/ 
and if you didn't, let you know now/ 
got my fucking heart broken but who really hasn't/ 
left my fucking guard open now hard for you to pass it/ 
I got alligators hiding in my front yard/
my navigation tying up my wrong turns/ 
you never heard me say that I wasn't here to work hard/
my back carried dumb weight/
I left it on your front porch/

my own torch in my hand/
my 2 feet in the sand/ 
looking up at the sky wondering what's for me/ 
others going underneath/ 
I'll cry and won't hide it the same way I'll celebrate I'm still here/ 
I've built fear and crushed it in my finger tips/ 
blistering, but nobody wants complaints, we've all gone through it/ 
coming out your lips just all sounds stupid/ 
I like to snowboard, drink coffee, and smoke weed/ 
I like my whiskey on the rocks/
I don't like slow paced nights/
I like to heal my pain quickly/ 
we in the same city and I don't like waiting for a train or nobody/ 
can promise right now that you're not ready/ 
but who ever is in this stock setting/ 
hey yo before we get started want to make you know Kon/ 
there's 57 ways it's impossible to lose now/ 

 

HOOK (Akie Bermiss)

then you gonna have a motherfucking problem on your hands cuz/ 

this is just the game - where's your move now!?/

I roll around listening to Phantogram/

rolling blunts with a gram in hand/ 

I can't wait to drop the LP 

and get it scanned again/ 

and again and again/ 

Billboards with our face on it/

the shore with a place on it/ 

Still got the pain in my heart/

the difference is now I put my whole heart into living without the stains from it/ 

still riding on my wave that's what basis is/

I am what amazing is/

I'm happy to let you know you will see it now/

 

Wash your face with some cold water/ 

I will never go under/

I swim out for victory/

a rope to my waste got my whole team attached to it/ 

an advocate for riding for my co-pilot, passengers/ 

there's no I in Koncept/

the K for my first name/

the O is for owning everything that I'm capturing/ 

the N is for my Nanny my grandmother cared for me, a bastard kid/ 

C I see more clearly when I'm traveling/ 

E he's excited for what happening/ 

I'm so fucking Passionate/ 

T, Thomas Whitehead, thanks for nothing/ 

Actually, I'm glad for you/

My sky fell I caught it on it's way down/

If you can see a life change that you need then go for it/

8 - KONCEPT & J57 "PLANE TICKET" feat JOE ROGERS

 

VERSE 1 (Koncept)

 

Plane ticket, same different city, where the weed at?/

I'ma need that/

I'm here to make a little green believe that/

I can't eat, I'm leaving for another trip, a dozen shows/

cant't sleep, I never do, and all my cash is up in smoke/

Love the hopes and dreams, love it more when get it though/

Im sure the same goes for my lady/

more than ever know/

I tell you about the time I almost moved to Lake Tahoe?/

3 weeks before I go I chose to fly home/

Queens, New York, where I learned to ride a bicycle/

first set of wheels just to feel how this life can move/

Plane ticket, same, different city, where the weed at?

I'm a need that/

I'm here to make a lot of green, believe that/

 

BRIDGE (Koncept)

 

I'm gon' have to leave this season/

I'm gon' swim the sea and/

flee my reasons/

need some space between the weeks/

that keep me freezing/

 

VERSE 2 (Koncept)

 

The fire in the sky burns the freshest clouds/

You need to spot your land before you set her down, (set her down)/

Standing on my roof I see a pilot riding/

thinking of an advertisement/

sitting on the finest island/

on some flyness/

Instead I'm Cadillac rolling/

roll your windows up, lighter flick/

door panel dismantled and filled with some higher goods/

the plastics made in Chine/

could you please find a diner!?/

I am hungry/

I speak you can feel it in your stomach/

And great I hear the siruns so here the guys come/

It's probably not a good idea if I run/

I'm done/

Still thinking every second just how to heat the sky up

takes more than a lighter and some kind bud/

tried that/

My dad, you're up there/

so please speed this tie up/

and a 40 for the road and some Fritos, my lunch/

a Plane ticket, same different city where the weed at?/

I really can't wait to get there, best believe that/

 

HOOK (Joe Rogers)

 

Got my ticket on a plane heading back to you/

(2x)

 

VERSE 3 (Koncept)

 

I'm flying to leave the land below/

Fly alone/

It be nice to have a hand to hold, but man, it's cold/

I wish I had a gram to smoke/

wax could do the trick/

I'm halfway through my trip/

and damn I'm stoned/

Think of home - anxiety builds up/

anxiety kills us/

so flying, don't look back/

I'm trying to fill up/

on wine and just sit down/

I'm hating on plane food/

relations can change you/

but changing can save you/

I flew to Cali 6 hours made an album took some meetings/

7 days later felt like different seasons/

And now we're waiting, layover/

Hurry up and call my gate/

Mean, make my life change so I can ball today/

 

HOOK (Joe Rogers)

 

Got my ticket on a plane heading back to you.

 

 

 

YOU ARE THE FUEL.
