Zomboy and Armanni Reign Id like to welcome you to our program
No more commercial interruptions we just say wsup and then go HAM
Hit em with the slogan (SHEESH) then I open bottles for the models in the cut
Tell them haters in the back what they lack is,
Nevermind I dont give a what
Im on my bull shit, loose cannon with a full clip
Soon as we step on stage then we ragin case you aint know the rules, bitch
See them bodies movin you prolly losin yo damn mind
Speakers bump when we grind, get it
I dont see nothing wrong with mine

Damn.. No time for playin it cool

Im on my, Bullshit. I feel like breaking some rulesand Im like.. Damn.. No time for playin it cool 

Im on my, Bullshit. I feel like actin the fool

Let's git it then

For those who dont get it, Im sorry
Not really, we still chillin and feelin like a couple bosses
In the party there are no losses
Think about what hangovers cost us
Inhabitions lost in they offers
Its just another day at the office
Cause and effect when the hell the sun come up
Ah fuck it thats awesome

Club or the rave, misbehavin its a safe haven for a misfit
Whatever your situation no complications when bass hits
Its back to the basics, hands in the air if ya here to get loose
The beats to sick to have an excuse
And not have outbreak God dammit thats truth

Im saying doe

Damn.. No time for playin it cool

Im on my, Bullshit. I feel like breaking some rulesand Im like.. Damn.. No time for playin it cool 

Im on my, Bullshit. I feel like actin the fool

Let's git it then

BEYOND CONTROL
Written by Armanni Reign
Produced by Atlantic Connection


(Chorus)

I know you love me love me

so show me that you do

Don't ask how others did it, its how we live it that makes us git it

I love you cuz you're perfect

my imperfections knew

through all this time we've given, there's nothing hidden we're not forbidden

We are be yond our own con trol

So it's no prob to give in by my admittance it just seems fitting

we are be yond our own con trol

all that negative shit good riddance, the future rhythms will be more with it 

I swear

We spoke of our dreams remember, but discussing nightmares 

is how we got closer eventually to enter anything head on

I was dead wrong, in thinking I would never get hemmed up

that good life is rare

and did I deserve it, I only thought the worst and was rejection worth the care

but here I am, 

opening files in my mind and all I ever find are your photos

even when your not here, you're so close

wishing sun rose to the rose ironic

frozen in time put focus in mind

no foes cuz your dope just flows into mine

I suppose your support for love notes will hopefully bind 

together what I line

(Chorus)

Roses are,

so many colors but other than that

the Violets are, the same shade that you put on your eyelids

the very first night we met

Angel fragrance,

your attire screamed that you were far from basic

but those complexities I knew would compliment mine

Imagine if I didn't say shit

Face it…

I needed that Jada and Will, Barack and Michelle

that never fail one pick the other up if we fell re-writing all fairy tales

if we got a problem - than fuck it we work it out 

never in public they never should tell

its none of their business, we control what they witness in sickness and health

Cuz that's real.

(Chorus)

AGAIN I

Written by Armanni Reign

Produced by The Upbeats

Too many I have befriended and

misunderstood my sentiments.

Point blank, period it ended then. 

I shake demons, they get sent again.

Meditation for higher zen. 

Medication, I'm higher than

visions of lost ones. I know what it cost them.

Grab iron man and Avenge them since

those I trusted mixed disgust with

undefended lies they discussed with 

venomous snakes hid behind second faces. 

No justice with these Harvey Dents.

Say they love you, 

then speak some real shit and notice, you've spoken hardly since.

Sorry Guvna, don't make pence.

Come as friends but they leave imprints.

Walk that long road but I can't look back so, 

I don't notice sets of footprints.

Voices carry so, words I hold them

in case them banks remember what I owed them.

Paid my dues and now I'm glad I own them.

Love the future, glad I shown em.

Two square (4) you to forget I told them,

Know the rest will get what I sold them:

Life decisions, clay pigeons.

I should know because I molded them.

I remember standing amongst the children,

I swear I stared in the eyes of men.

Each one tortured for different reasons,

how did I become one of them?

Journeys start here. Strength beyond fear.

I worked the long con to confidence.

Suddenly, life was twice as hard 

and it's time that wall has been built again.

I can't help it if that sounds selfish.

If you ain't been there with real intent, 

I don't care to gauge your feelings

as long as blank pages get filled in. 

Anyone who's been in the darkest darkness

knows that the naive are far from heartless…

Just mistaken. 

I've seen Satan in a confrontation and I'm here regardless.

See, I and God had a fallout.

I mean Buddha, Zeus.. I called them all out.

Started making all bad decisions.

I was a bad man by description and

one day I noticed I was goin to die if I ain't focus.

SO, I embraced that monster and this became my mantra:

I am not the purpose. 

I am not the vision.

I am not the problem.

I am not the prison.

I am evolution not the definition.

I am something different.

I am my decisions. 

I am.

REACH
Written by Armanni Reign
Produced by Atlantic Connection

(Hook x2)

I reach for the stars, I just have to say

If I get i nice grip I might have to stay

I love how this feels, Love it cuz it's real

I dont don't sleep on my dreams I'm livin em everyday

I just wanna be famous, or not remain nameless

by the way my name is Armanni Reign, yes

Hi, how ya doin Miss?

This how the game is?

If it is, we tryna make money, ya blame us?

If you do it's true we don't give a what, really

Call it as such, my attitude is very much Philly

Ya feel me?

Got a feelin y'all can't see me like my swags in a ghillie 

Joker flow, everything I spit's silly but still

serious as I'm tryna maintain

my love between business and art, like it's the same thing

witness the spark, the start of me shining

In that state of mind no matter what state I'm in

no mistake I'm grindin, my life's a spice rack

Hunger set goals now I'm tryna eat twice that

See me and Karma had a nice chat

and no man can live life twice and it's like that!

(Hookx2)

I was bred for class so my clutch's not a test realm

glasses of Malbec, couches from West Elm

quest for the high-life don't matter the distance

I would walk to grant my daughter's wish list this Christmas

Haters get a quick glimpse, even my walk proves

Don't need to be a pimp to talk smooth, ya heard me?

Still dirty from my days in Jersey

Reborn in South Philly now Atlanta can certainly

(What)

Be the backdrop for my next chapter

Peachy, you can't see me but ya know where to reach me

Each Reign drop falls in a different direction

The storm will perfect with Atlantic Connection

you can feel it in the air, catch a chill from my Drew Brees

I couldn't be a Saint the way I tainted these loose-leafs 

..Enemies, I get you sweatin profusely 

Goin in so ya better get used to me

(Hook x2)

No longer am I bitchin 'bout… what i was bitchin 'bout

Brand new kitchen to cook dreams and dish em out

By admission there's decisions I could live without

I don't regret em cuz it helped me get my vision out

See understanding is perception based

So I place my redemption in positive space

Keep my head to the sky just in case I face

the only one who can judge me, so trust me baby!

(Hook x2)

Written and Produced by Armanni Reign

Co-Produced by MASON

All I hear is money from future profits (prophets)

I move E (iMovie) no more cuz the Final Cut was too deep for me to feel Premier

Most of yall dont get it but what I said is that my end credits aint nowhere near

Like Lights Out its amazin

Fans in the front row ragin

Why ya camp cramp when I pull muscle

She lookin for
That Lifestlye

Suicide Pill
by Armanni Reign

First time up I'ma run that.
Ain't nobody thinkin bout a comeback.
Tryin to tell Apollo what the sun lacks?
Hot as the Serengeti, yeah, we already done that.
Put ya hands up if ya feel this.
Big fish, small pond. I'ma reel this.
While you talkin bullshit I'ma realist.
Bomb squad - if you wanna bang I'm a kill switch.
No, I ain't talkin bout Trill.
Killer instinct, let's talk about feel.
There's something in the briefcase, Deal or No Deal
with the troops goin HAM on the top of a hill.
Stand in the truth while the rest lie still.
Weapons yall test I'ma try in the field.
Anyone expect any less from us chill or
Take a Suicide Pill.

Any man test, I'ma ace that.
Badboy like Biggie on a bass track.
Bass lines hit harder then ya face crack.
Jam will slam like Rampage come and taste mat.
I leave em in the dust when we lace tracks.
Beats need smoked quick, call me ASAP.
If we march double-time in fact,
Brap! Brap!
I figure I'll pull the trigger and that's that.
Git em like they never knew what hit em,
we live in the rage.
Hit em wit a little bit of venom,
I did em a fave.
How I spit em its forgiven I didn't behave.
Flip page. Start from the beginning.
I been in a cage.
Let the beast out, I'm fittin to finish in ways
you can not replenish, I'll diminish your cynical praise.
It's not a phase that your facin chill or
Take a Suicide Pill.

REDUX
Armanni Reign - Off The Grid EP

Im on my Grizzly (sheesh)
yeh I be on my B I see I
feel like spreadin my wings show em how we fly
You rollin? if not than you can hold it
got nuff man on my team who's dreams are all golden

Sheesh, Hows the ride on the bandwagon
Beats got yall jumpin around I think the game's laggin
Please Manniman I respect yo grit
yeh I was feelin when you used to do that techno shit
yeah cuz, I bet you was funny I aint seen you
Now ya hitch-hikin and I seem somethin tho cling to
Jeez yall signals so out of touch I cant call it
so heres one for the road don't bother opening wallets
cuz I'm winning Sheening I seen it from the beginning
the 1st inning over seas flights and bright lights
only dimming from a fat bag of smoke that choked vets
while the crowd kept a fist in the air thru whole sets
shots with bartenders I cant even understand
but they understand prolly everything I was wonderin
Damn, this is just a taste of me goin hard
the face of something bigger trigger fingers aimed at the stars
Sun of tomorrow

all that cookie cutter shit short life long list
buncha mirrors in the mist while the hits really miss
but somewhere in a dark room somebody tried to label
is a million soldiers strong a mic and some turntables
the fresh smell of skunk and bass that melts trunks
while the lighters set fires to skies on all fronts
this is what they want x2

In this dog eat dog world I choose some ill cats
to learn from, mentor, work or relax
its been the same drive whether fam or fans
albeit mixtapes djs collabs or bands
We goin eeeen you already know where I've been
I choose focus over swag so don't compare me again
hard to keep my hands clean Im so sick with the pen
that's why everyone around me so much iller than them
I'm like USUK bitch I'll make ya whole team back out
and fuck a second chance when I drop in my stance
I make em rowdy howdy to you new comers
thy wonder why my thunder spits hotter than thai summers
cuz I'm dope... bitch you don't like it than hooold it
while you try to figure whatever I sold is
breakin the mold? shit was never yall in the 1st place
bastard son of trail and error life was my birthplace
a wife and a seed in this garden i need to keep safe
while I try to make the world relate
am I too late? nah. Real set the pace, I
think that's the only category I'll ever take pride in

Walking Away
Armanni Reign - Kastle's 'Time Travelers EP'

{"I'M WALKING AWAY.... FROM THIS" HOOK}

Hold up wait,

What do you mean your leaving me, how can you break it so clean?

Say to me "Baby it's not what it seems" 

You were my angel, my Constantine

How will I ever get rid of my demons?

Somethin' is missin' it hurts when I breath in.

Thought I could do it, you said I was trippin', I should have just listened to who I believed

"In Hope" - memory sees

I'm free as a bird in a cage and I need to

look at the limitless sky cuz I know I can fly but, I can't get that high for some reason.

It's funny cuz now that I'm beamin' 

somethin' has shown me, I wonder - Steven.

I'm blinded by that very thing I'm retrievin'

even though that's what we wanted.

I can't get my head around somethin'.

Up or downs somehow we functioned.

How did it ever get so bad that we found ourselves in this position?

Too many things based on assumption,

could've been the bigger man, took my lumps and

sat down and tried to figure out how we can get it back to mint condition. 

Two adults knowin exactly what we want and

know that you can't get a firm grip with one hand.

No matter where I am in the world, letting go is an option that I will never weigh in.

But, for now my heart is pumpin'

cuz I never thought these words would come from you

but now your that someone who's sayin' (what?)

{ HOOK}

Hold up wait............ Look okay, I git it.

I'll take off the mask and get down to the gritty.

Hell have no wrath and heaven show no pity.

25 hours I handled my business,

you started a partner and became a witness.

What you expected was never detected and I was too busy when problems existed.

Jaded my vision was twisted.

Tried to explain so the pain would be lifted...

irrelevant chatter cuz none of that mattered unless I could hear ya true wishes.

I thought,

you needed some distance.

I gave you miles when you asked me for inches.

Excuse my ignorance, I know now thats not what you wanted.

We both know that things got crazy.

Funny how success makes things hazy.

Sometimes when you win you lose and it's so confusing but lately

I've been thinkin bout all those days we

swore we would never let things get shady,

and I'm I'll be damned if I'm gonna keep walkin' round like it don't phase me.

No matter how long there's no way we

feel what we had's been thrown away see,

there's too many memories when I rest my head.

I'm tellin you,

if you pick up the phone just maybe

you'll understand these words I say please,

I can't sit back and just accept it when you said...

Could've Been Something
Written by Armanni Reign
Produced by Dylan Goes Electric

I stand in the rain outside of a favorite place we would eat at
lookin in at the table we sat side by side gr to relax
remember clinks of the champagne glass feeling out every single truth in a laugh
yeh, I remember that too. So what happened to you may I ask?
I been trying to figure out what I should of known really, funny still I don't get it
Friends said i let it happen who asked them if there was a moment I forget it
anytime I hear an alarm it's because i set it. regret that this one I slept thru
how'd we get from a nah to guess who from a take it on the chin to I stress you
man up is the advice right maybe you should add less at least
there's a piece of me ceasing to believe that understanding is out of my reach
I done seen a lot of wars and i've won plenty, lost many dues paid if it cost any
but Im not the type to burn a bridge then try to find a way across just to talk friendly
in other words my reflection is not damage
this is not an open wound you should try to bandage
damn this
Im really jus callin how I see it
you don't get the point so be it
but from now on you don't get to speak either
not a stretch that you never saw what I reach for
life is a teacher can I'd teach ya
too late too long take a breather


What am I sayin really?
It was just a short trip like a plane to Philly.
it's insane to feel resentment so thanks a milli
I done spent too many bars to expalin the dilly
too many nights in the bar till my brain was illy
sparked heat till the heart was chllly
but the cause you feel me
is the part where you lost me still i keep
searching exhausting the thoughts your stealing
slow down
was still a lil heated believe it or not
and its very possible that ya probably not
but since I put the time in I never forgot
put that stress on my back and then carried the knot
until I finally worked it out
just ignored the thirst for closure and replaced it
suddenly I came face to face with
an old friend reality well more of an acquaintence
patience tested i confess it's
not one of the virtues I requested
yet letting things go used to be my best gift
as long as I can vent I'll repent when left with
no other option watched some burn it all
fall straight to the bottom forgotten em all
any kind of real problems I got em resolved
Too high on the ladder I'm knocking em off
still here I am saying that you don't matter
sheesh, wrote a whole song cuz it dont matter
dont matter won't matter can't matter
hope you understand the latter
all chatter scatterbrain sense made
mixed with a couple shots on a tense day
I thought we were invincible so I speak cuz it's all about the principles


Late night talks flights over seas
Louie 13 neat so focused please
caviar dreams I dont really need it but
if its yo thang go on baby eat it up
hotel view like the magazines
everyday new backdrop changing themes
after party til we chase the morn
do a quick change feelin like Jason Bourne
Breakfast when we get up Limosine pick up
on to the next one miss thang did up
step into the whip so fly make me sit up
still feelin gritty from another city hit up
I dont need to upgrade bol get ya shit up
bring friends withcha
life to frame pictures (lifelike framed pictures)
this life remains picked for
those who click the light on like we pixar
but you went the other way, dark
made close friends targets, marked
had a little controversy, sparked
try to tell me that it's worth it, nah
did i ever think it was perfect, nah
kept 120 I'da worked it flawed
could have had a ball doin it instead of bouncin off a wall
