Black Luxury
Written by Lemond IMAG Brown (2020)
"..said being Black is like having a luxury-tax."
Now Imagine totin a bag of money
What does it really mean? That paper
Aint more than gold/
They dig in the crates, /
tell em what is the goal?/
We writtin' business plans/
Workin that over time is powerful dividends/
My phone just died now it's gettin real/
Money they mission, they say they be gettin them mills (now)/
Other day, one of my students asked me,/
"Yo, IMAG are you rich?" I laughed/
I said "depends on who you ask."/
Yea we gettin cash that flow is real/
and gettin it on our own aint have to tote the steel/
At least chemically speaking/
Feel like a party when we link up/
Work on the weekends we sync up/
Aint limits aint no fumblin/
money is nothing next to a King/
You looking at Black Luxury
REPRISE
Black Luxury, Black Luxury
(Repeat)
Turning them pages, turning them pages
Yeah you know what it's like
We've been moving in stages
It's like they writin a book
They study us they look and
They look how we dress, meanin
They watch how we look.
And you can see in they eyes,
yeah you can see it they shook.
They want that Melanin poppin
They want what we got and
It's funny cuz we been chasing them
Going in circles, wheels spinning now,
They just see how we winning and
We don't be shopping no more,
We be developing working,
Do what we gotta do and for certain
Thats why we givin em heat
And we been givin heat
Meanin we givin em STEAM
Yeah they need something to eat
These youngins killin each other
for what they put on they feet
Lavish my mindset, why I'm still
Fly as an Alpine Swift
Like I aint landed in weeks
skid marks from fast cars
leave tracks where mothers had to grieve
there on the street
Survival it's in my blood ancestry
Effortlessly I shine,
You looking at Black Luxury
CHORUS
Black Luxury
(Repeat 4x)

Gotta Know
Written by Lemond IMAG Brown (2020)
Yeah I see you tryna roll
Where you tryna go?
It's a few things, few things
That you gotta know
We stick to the G code
Look, it's a few things you gotta know
CHORUS
Ooh Baby, ooh baby
Yeah I see you tryna roll
We could roll there
Tell me where
Where you tryna go?
It's a few things, few things
That you gotta know
We stick to the G code
Look, it's a few things you gotta know
VERSE I
Ooh it's a celebration
We just living life, we just moving and elevating
We got the fam chillin, that mean
It's a room full of entrepreneurial movements
royal and smooth, wit a lawyer or two
Got more than a few, exclusive young professionals
Got doctors in the vestibule, got
Engineers Investors too
All pullin up at my residence,
Puliin up at my residence
Black wheels, black SHOES black excellence
Now take a look at my regimen
Big zapatos I be steppin in and out of
countrys islands
spreading love and STEAMing blocks
Sleeping less, and dreaming lots
Used to be I was fantasizing about Ferraris
That joint, the price so big
That it could feed Malawi
Now they pullin up at my residence
Pullin up pullin up at my residence
Black wheels Black Top Black Excellence
First take a look
Donate the car after we take a spin
Know it's God first and we all win
Gotta know your purpose
Know your worth, and
Gotta know your passion
Know your power, then enhance it
We da game changers, yeah we
the equalizers, lane changing
do a lil bit more than just maintaining
So you know what's possible
Yeah don't blow cheese but got the dough
Diversified portfolio
Yeah got that equity and cash flow
That's exactly why they tryna roll
And you could roll too, it's just a few things
That ya got to know
CHORUS
Ooh Baby, ooh baby
Yeah I see you tryna roll
We could roll there
Tell me where
Where you tryna go?
It's a few things, few things
That you gotta know
We stick to the G code
Look, it's a few things you gotta know
VERSE II
(OCheck it out look
Wealth is generational, everything else is inspirational
got the invitation then pulled up
Sharper than a sabertooth
These days words of light don't make the news
So I let my work just say the truth
Fresh up off the jet we flew
Out to Eldorado Park, impact at least 1,000, sparked
Plant the seed that's how it, starts
Everybody want more luxury but don't nobody want
Sole custody of the pain or complain it's a lot
On your plate and get mad when you stuck
and it's nothing to eat
Everybody want the rock in the clutch hit a three
But when it's time to work they be lunchin' or sleep
They just wana be seen, pullin up
Pullin up Pullin up at that residence
Black shoes, Black tee Black Excellence
Now take a look at our regimen
Meditate breathe, let's begin
Been told yal bout this Melanin
All you gotta know is we designed to win.
CHORUS
Ooh Baby, ooh baby
Yeah I see you tryna roll
We could roll there
Tell me where
Where you tryna go?
It's a few things, few things
That you gotta know
We stick to the G code
Look, it's a few things you gotta know

Watch Me Work
Written by Lemond IMAG Brown (2020)
CHORUS
So don't watch me
Baby just Watch me work
Said don't watch me
Baby just Watch me work
See I ain't perfect but still I been working
So just Watch me work
You don't know my story
Do it for God's glory
You don't know my worth
VERSE I
First year running business
Yea that road was rocky
Thank God for that support
My pops said he got me/
Mortgage payments pilling up/
Still I'm teaching class/
International mileage up
Work coming fast, it's that money
That been coming slow/
Got me up to my neck in debt
Yet I still shrug my shoulders/
Pops said "shoot a flare in the air if it gets there"
Well it got there, be lying if I told ya
My faith wasn't shaken/
Still I been makin heat in this basement
Doing whatever it takes man I'm riding
Getting this cake/ and
Even out of these States
When we hit the airport
Looking so Swaliga Baby they ask what team
We play/ for wasn't even getting paid
I am though, home from Joburg
Feelin like a champ tho what I prayed for/
Out Soweto when we gave out solar lamps
Came true same crew that I prayed for
Coulda been siced His best advice?
Remember that it's God's will
Not by your own might
CHORUS
So don't watch me
Baby just Watch me work
Said don't watch me
Baby just Watch me work
See I ain't perfect but still I been working
So just Watch me work
You don't know my story
Do it for God's glory
You don't know my worth
VERSE II
At seventeen I got cheated on
Then I wrote the G'est song/
Seasons change man people strange man
Yet till we keepin on/
Gotta choose your vice wisely
See we all gotta cope/
Just make sure whatever vice you choose
Don't have you slippin on a slope/
Yea I'd admit I hit sativa
But if I do it's at my home/
I ain't no attention seeker
Meanin I aint here to stunt/
Nissan in that driveway thats parked out front
Of that house I bought/
Grandfather passed 50 years what a torch?
Say less I don't do it for a paycheck/
Nah do it for the ones who ain't ate yet
Even if they seven and half and
Ain't got a plate yet, Ima help em make a path/
Posed to be in them trenches but
Distracted by women, they beauty is endless/
Many men have been tempted, I know/
Many have fallen, OG told me
IMAG focus on your mission dog
All them gon be callin/
Just make sure you make it dog
Told em yea Ima slip and fall but
I know it's bigger than me/
I make mistakes and God still share this vision wit me/
CHORUS
So don't watch me
Baby just Watch me work
Said don't watch me
Baby just Watch me work
See I ain't perfect but still I been working
So just Watch me work
You don't know my story
Do it for God's glory
You don't know my worth
(Repeat)
