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/

meant it when I said it was forever never counted less/
imagine where we'll be when we count to 10/
Patience young grasshopper/
There's an inflation of dumb rap fockers/
They see me sport an Audi
driving through an alley with a barbie/
with a gorgeous body/
probably parked it sideways in her lobby/
and she calls me papi/
rolls my blunts smoke em while she rides me/
your boy is shining/
I'm living good/
call it timing/
I met label execs they loved every thing played/
without nothing to change that don't happen today/
my own raps on a page I own half of the state/
I owe half it to J we smoke half it today/
My boss calling/
Yeah, he probably mad that I'm late/
I probably should've called him to get the last of my pay/

5 - KONCEPT & J57 "CRAZY IS BEAUTIFUL" feat NEVEAH
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/

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)
Time is now/

no fight unless you fuck with us or our mans/
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.
