The Idea Hall of Fame Whatever It Takes Like A Eagle Come Together Did It On My Own Hello I Need A Bag Of Money Sunday & Monday Would Yo Marry Me Last Dance Jack Daniel's & Shine She Want's To Be Something Drifting Away Mother Chicken Barns & Cowshit Mama Always Said Tennessee Way Of Livin In Closing
Chapter 1 The Idea It was one cold late October evening and I was in front of the computer and I was thinking I need to do something different as a music artist, something that could maybe show the world the real me. And it was then I realized exactly what i had to do, and that was make a album about meaningful, real topics and then include with the album a book explaining exactly what each song was about. So without telling anyone I started working on a more real type of music with the thought as I did every song that I had to write a chapter about each song. So there the idea was born & the work began. Now the previous August I was arrested over a music video I did where we acted out everything that people hate in this music industry as artists. So I was also frustrated and mad at life. Long story short I was on rock bottom and out of hunger and the drive to make it in music this album and book were born. The album I wanted to be unlike anything ive ever done before. So I went the route of a do it all musician as in im the man who does rock, country, hick hop, rap & r&b. See as a music artist I want to be liked by everyone not just one certain group of people. Also as I began this project I had just had legendary music artist Bushwik Bill at my house and had just ended my business relationship with Bone Thugs n Harmonies ex manager Rick Robinson. So One song after another the album started taking shape and the whole time in the back of my head im like how am I gonna pull this off? I literately had no clue where I was gonna go with this book, because one song would be about something totally different then the last but over time I came to understand that hey these songs are my life they may not all be literally about my exact life 3
but knowing each song was based off certain events in my life I became to not sweat that any more. As most people know ive done basicly nothing but music for the last 14 years from 1999 till around 2005-2006 I was part of a music group with Powder P who sold over 1 million records and had a Billboard number 1 hit song. 2 times during those years I ws with him I got to tour twice with him and Bone Thugs. And ever since I have worked day and night to get just to a spot where I could live that experience at least one more time. Ultimately my motivation lies in my children, they are the reason I grind the way I do because I know without me and my success there path on life will be so much harder. So I pursue that one hit song like every other music artist. So that’s the basis behind this book, you will find most chapters are short because to be honest how can you write 7 -20 pages about one song. My main goal with this book is that you can learn to appreciate me as a music artist and as well as get inside picture of each song on the album and what they are really about. You ready cause I am so here we go the Chapters are laid out as each song is on the album so put the album on and play it as you read this book.

Chapter 2 Hall of Fame This song is one of my favorites ive ever been a part of. This is one of those songs where I found a beat on the internet and it was so good I went with it. It came with the chorus on it which to me kinda takes a lil away from it since I have no clue who is even singing. But like I said this is one of my favorite songs ive ever done. This song starts off with me on the intro saying “she belongs in the hall of fame� which I added after much thought because I wanted to get the basis of the song would be drilled into the listeners right from the beginning. The basis of this song is that this one special girls is so special she belongs in the hall of fame. I describe a female with long blonde hair and pretty eyes and to be honest on this song I really had no singe female in mine when I wrote it. The words just kinda fit and I went with it. I purposely made the first verse slow and mostly uneventful in order to build up the song. But the 1st verse is basiscly about a girl who is just so perfect I cant get her out of my mine, ya know kinda like that bad ass chick ya see at the club and think about for weeks afterward. By then end of the verse im just wanting the girl to be my wife. But the way its laid out and the way it ends well it flows just so perfect into the hook. As ive said above I truly have no clue who did the chorus on this song I wish I did cause id sure try to get some features from that guy cause he nailed them hooks perfect. The hook delivers to me a kinda richard marks feel to vocals. And being a 80's baby well I can relate to that which to me just makes this song even more better. 5
The second verse I decided to kinda take off from a point of me and girl already being together. Along with making promises and what not what im really trying to do is drive home the point on how much I love her and how I feel I couldnt live another day without her in my life. At the same im tryin to show my honesty to the girl by tellin her certin things I dont have but that I would work hard to get them for her if she needs it. As the second verse progresses it basicly flows back into the hall of fame which is what the songs about and thats shes so perfect she could be in the hall of fame. Great song with a great topic and meaning. All lyrics wrote by Aizy Wayne except the choruses.

Chapter 3 Whatever It Takes This song Is a song I did with a girl named “Alicia Renee�. This song has a more pop/rock feel to it more then a r&b song. The beat was made by All Around Beats. And once again this beat was one we got from the internet. This song starts with Alicia Renee with a brief intro and once again the song brings the topic of the song into the for front from the beginning. This is also the only time Alicia is singing where Aizy isnt doing back up vocals behind her. So after the brief intro the song goes right into the first verse and once again Aizy is rapping and speaking to a girl. On this song Aizy is speaking to Alicia on the hook. As in the last chapter this song is more or less about the girl. During the first verse Aizy does drift off for a few to discuss his love for his kids and the consequences if you mess with them. See my kids are everything to me and I try to put that into my music as much as I can. On this song I could have probably left that part out but again I feel it describes the love I have for girl and at the same time letting her know the kind of man I am. So the first verse also touches on the days where we talked a lot as we drove on the back roads. As I said in chapter one sometimes I take real events in my life and turn them into songs that arent necessary true and this is one instance of that I used to love cruising the back roads and its that love of the back roads which is why I wrote that into the lyrics. So as the first verse ends we are brought into an amazing hook by Alicia with Aizy backing her up. Where she says whatever it takes to make you stay and she can be heard saying ill do whatever it takes to take it all away referring to the pain I got. By the end of the hook you can truly feel the emotion in this song by both Aizy and Alicia. 7
As the hook moves into the second verse we call all tell right away the second verse is nothing like the first. I did that because I cant stand when a musician comes back in with a verse that sounds much like the first verse as a listener I always want to keep hearing what I havent heard yet to me that is what makes a great song so thats what I did on this one. So I come responding to what Alicia was saying on the hook and writing from the aspect that im away tryin to get home and back to her as fast as I can but as ya listen you can begin to understand that maybe and me and girl arent together that maybe we tryin to make things work. The whole aspect of this song is that me and her are estrange and tryin to work things out and get back together and as a listener you can begin to understand im on the road a lot and that maybe the reason for the troubles as the second verse ends we are brought back with another amazing chorus and the song ends after the hook again this is one greta song about a good semi real topic that a lot fo people can relate.

Chapter 4 Like A Eagle Im confused by this song. I still scratch my head and cant figure out if this is rap or rock or maybe both. When I did this song I wanted to make a song that was a lil grungy a lil rocky with a lil rap. The whole basis of this song is that I wish I was like a eagle in the fact I could just take off and fly away any time I want. Now most of this song is all my real life and another amazing about this track is I didnt write this I free styled the track then wrote it out and re spit it as far as the hooks I wrote them before hand . The song starts with a hook which basicly spells out the whole song as the hook ends and we come to the first verse which kinda almost sounds as if it starts on a elementary level but on this song I did that on purpose on the fact that in the hook I talk about how people say I need to walk away so I thought ill start off rapping the first few bars as if I cant rap then move into what I really do and I think I pulled it off good and the whole spitting truth about life . I talk about my frustration where I live and how im ignored and flirt with the thought of maybe even moving away thinking maybe ill have better luck where noone knows me. At the close of the verse we are thrust into a great hook which is the same as the beginning of song. Im sure most peoples heads are moving front and back at this point. Again when the second verse comes in you can tell its nothin like the first verse I start out on the second verse as im driving down the interstate and describe my journey touch base on the semi truck that bout ran me off the road as im speeding trying to move ahead in life the whole verse I basicly about just that its like I took life and made it 9
into a trip down the interstate really who has done that before I have never heard of anyone doing that. The song ends with one final hook and then the beat just slowly fades out with a nice guitar. Again I think this a pretty dang song definitely not a song you would pu ton radio but definitely a song that shows my talents.

Chapter 5 Come Together Now this song here I spent a good amount of time on and I knew when I did this that not very many people would ever dig this but me I like music like this and since this album was my story I felt hey im doin it so I did. This song is a real slow mildly depressing song and to me really touches a nerve both in the vocals and the words. The strings in the beginning set the whole song up and carry it through out the song. I start the song by singing about the wars going on and the children layin in the streets then I try to begin to understand why, why doe sit got to be this way then I begin to wonder why single mothers got to work so hard to survive then in closing on the first verse im trying to understand why these ceos of companies are making 50-100 million a years the whole verse is basicly questions that I dont think any of us can answer. So as the first verse comes into closing we are brought into a intense but yet real chorus where im screaming that we all need to come together as one and that if we did we could all be better then I explain thats why I try my best everyday all in the hopes I can give my kids a better life as the chorus ends I keep that momentum up into the second verse I kinda take it to a depressing level sharing my pain and my lifes failures such as no money in the bank as I explain that I need success in order to show my kids to never quit then I go back to society and how greedy it is and explain thats why we got all these wars after the second verse we have one last hook
11
to me I really appreciate this song because I know first how hard it was to get it right and second it touches me because eof the subject matter to me a good song has to have good quality a touching subject and a great build up to me thats what makes good songs is this song the best ive ever done no but does that make it a bad song no ill be honest I liked it enough it made the album.
12
Chapter 6 Did It On My Own Now this song right is a song that will get you out your seat. This song started out as fun and after the first verse I begin to see this could very well be a hit and I still feel that way today. I feel with the right team this song could chart on billboard. This is hick hop at its best. Its got fun. Real story, and more fun what more do ya need in a song then that. The song starts with a catch guitar riff and Aizy with a intro explaining that ive lived a hard life. The song starts with the first verse where I come in with a bouncy energetic vibe to it. I start by talkin how I was born into the struggle and how I was born to a single mother. Then I can be heard questioning myself and why im still nowhere in life once again just me sharing my real life with the world. I end the verse by touching on how I got a small team and how its hard to trust anyone and how everyone tells me one thing and does another and then quickly builds up into the hook immediately when the hook comes in you can hear my emotion and im talkin bout how I made my cheese and best of all I did it on my on but then im like im not better then the next man just cause im makin money. Then I end the hook as if im walkin down a back road. The second verse comes in as if im still walkin down the back road and I meet a girl the second verse is spent bragging and tryin to win the girl I tell her im broke but then ask her if she wanna drink some shine or wine as I proceed to tell he rim good on the mic and that im good at doin my thing as the hook comes back in along with the energy it brings as the hook ends we are brought into the third verse 13
where im walkin down the road by barns and chicken barns because im broke I also speak about real is all im living I touch base on how every day I sin but that the next day I always spend repenting. The third verse ends with me talkin explaining my knowledge of life. After the third verse is over the hook comes back in and then to a guitar solo and then one more hook simply amazing song with a great story line
14
Chapter 7 Hello Now this song never began as anything serious and to be honest I never thought it would make the album and the more I heard it I thought what the hell. This song is a hick hop song about a sexy female and me tryin to make her mine the first verse starts the song where im talkin bout this sexy girl and wantin to make her mine then I mention I live in a trailer by the woods and how I want a girl and kids. Then I change subject talkin bout how I got money on my mind and how im addicted to fine women and moonshine. Then I touch base on how both women and moonshine can kill ya as I proceed into the hook. Now the hook is on a the weak side but it was never meant to be an intense hook but at the same I just wanted to pu my own style to it the hook is like I just said hello to a girl I introduce myself and ask her to dinner thats about it to the hook the second verse is much like the first verse as far as flow but it immediately builds up different the second verse im just talkin bout southern things such as my music is southern music with a twist and that I like to drive Chevrolet and I like to party into the woods then the song goes into the hook again then we go into the third verse again im back talk to a girl on how im gonna get us money and how we gonna live the dream and how together we could be a great team just another story in a sense then the song goes back into the hook again and ends with guitars and back to the beat as it fades out 15
Chapter 8 I Need A Bag Of Money This is a song that everyone can relate to for real , I mean who couldn’t use a big ol bag of money. So I thought lets make a song about just that so I did. This song starts with a perfectly crafted intro which lets us into what the songs about from the very beginning the first verse starts with me on the wrong side of the bed and how I had a nightmare where I ended up dead then I talk how I dont wanna be a failure in life and how im iskc of getting by. Then I address the ones who dog me and down me and how they have no clue which Is why they dog me then the verse moves into the hook line the hook basicly tells the world I need that money and that I need a big bag pretty basic hook but it delivers the whole son if ya ask me. The second verse I touch base on how walmart where the CEO make 16000 an hour cant even afford to pay there workers even 10 bucks an hours then I touch on corporate America as a whole and the greed I talk about how the rich get rich off the feet of the poor then I go into how expansive traffic tickets are and how hard they are to fight and win then the hook comes around again the third verse is me giving a lil speech of truth then the song ends with one last hook one amazing song right here how can ya not love this one 16
Chapter 9 Sunday & Monday This is a slow to start song that picks up after about 8 bars on this song I make reference to jelly rolls Sunday morning song I begin by sayin im tryin to get something goin cause im tried of being on the bottom and that I cure my pain with wine and that I get drunk pass out and then tomorrow try again. I also discuss how my mom would look at me different if I had money and I try to make people understand that we should be about blood not money then the hook comes in which really brings you into my pain I feel I did job makin people truly feel my pain that I feel at times this hook really hits a nerve with me then I come into the second verse which honestly was a freestyle I was stuck writing smoke a good j and I said hell with it and freestyled it and it came out the way ya heard on the first take to me that was almost a godly moment 16 perfect bars on a first go on a freestyle simply amazing. In the verse I touch on rumors peoples say about me and how ill take that rumur and bury it in the dirt then I go back to my mom and dad on how they question everything I do then I go to explain im on a dirt road but wishing I could be back on the paved road then touch base on a unnamed real person who has cost me everything and then it carries back around to the hook and then the music fades out another real life track which was based on my real life what more can ya ask for really
17
Chapter 10 Would You Marry Me As ya see by the name this song is about marriage and getting married. I start the song right off the bat talking bout this girl and I start out by sayin im staring in her eyes and how they remind me of paradise. Then I explain how she drives me crazy by the things she does for me and how she gives me goose bumps when she by me then the hook comes in a clean nice way the hook starts with me askin her to marry me and she replies id marry you anytime of the week and the hook goes back and forth like that the second verse comes in with a drop in the beat and a way different flow then the first verse again not much explaining on this song its all about getting married things like I dont care about her money or if we live in the hood just a reall good all around r&b song about marriage. Then a hook comes in again then after the hook the beat drops and aizy comes in with a bridge and then a third verse which ends with another hook
18
Chapter 11 Last Dance This is the first song on the album that is a remake of a popular song or more or less a cover song. The beat was speed up and made orginal for our version but this song is my remake of Tom Petty's Last Dance song. Instead of explaining this song im going to explain why I decided to remake this song. Ever since a kid this has been one of my favorite songs and thats what truly lead me down the road to remake it was my love for this song nothing more. When I got in the studio to do this song at first I wasnt to hopeful I could pull it off but as I began recording and rehearsing it is quickly became clear I was about to make an amazing remake. I really took my tim eon this track so I could make it the best it could be. And if ya listen I think you to will agree I did a hell of a job on this one. I choose to do a sped up rendition of this song cause I always felt it could have always been a good upbeat song if it had been just a lil faster and so thats what I did. I hope in 2015 to bring this song and put it into my live shows.
19
Chapter 12 Jack Daniel's & Shine This song is a song more about where im from then about me but yet it is about me if ya feel me at all. Now to understand this song is to first understand where I live. I live in a city where there are tons of chicken barns , cows, woods, creeks and such . Then just 10 miles or so is jack Daniel’s distillery. So thats really the basis of this song is where I live and the lives we live around here the song starts with horses and dogs being heard then the first verse drops. The song is more of a hard rap track then a country track but yet I was able to turn it around to be a country hick hop track. On the first verse I talk about how in the woods nothin goes down here and that it so peaceful I can let my dog out and no one mess with him I talk about how I love the country cause people dont jump you and then I talk about how we hunt to feed our families and how music is a past time and how we make our own wine I also address the stereo type us country people get
then the hook hits like thunder talkin bout how we got jack daniels and shine and how the girls like big trucks and such then the second verse hits harder then anything yet again the verse is about country life the partys and how we welcome everyone and that ya need to bring beer to our parties and how we keep it true then we bounce back to the hook again which I never get tired of hearing very well laid then the beats fades out into the night with a great piano riff
20
Chapter 13 She Wants To Be Something Now I want to explain this song rather then go through each verse and hook. When I wrote this song I wanted to make a song on a subject that many havent done before so I thought and thought and I was like im gonna write a song about a girl who alcoholic who is doing nothing in life but beat booze and do good for herself. I wante to show the inside look of addiction through words . I tried to put everything into this song, I wanted to show happiness but how the happiness is quickly erased by the addiction to booze she has. The truth is we have so many single women who are hooked to alcohol , drugs or whatever and that as a country we could truly help more. When a person tries their hardest to do good in life then we all turn our back isnt the way of god, to help is the way of god. And I hope through this song I could touch a few lives and maybe even change a few lives its songs like this that keep me making music. When I wrote this song I had to imagine a few females I know who are big time drinked then put myself into their shoes and write from there and thats what I did and I think the outcome was perfect. Greta song with a lot of meaning I feel if promoted right this could be a popular song.
21
Chapter 14 Drifting Away This is a song remake I did Ft Matt Perez. This song starts with a slowed down version of the original hook by Matt Perez. The hook brings the scope of the song into focus right off the bat and lets us know this song is about drifting away in life. The hook compares life to a wave in the ocean. The first verse starts off with a faster type rap by me I start rappin about how I got money in the bank but then I wake up and relize it was a dream and that food stamps is all I got then I sya Ive lost all my hope and that im nothing more then a powerful train thats off the tracks I talk about how I do record times when I do a lap like a race car driver and i explain im drifting away cause im on a bumpy road and that I got no where to go as the hook says just drifting away then the hook comes back in and the second verse delivers once again a nice steady fast flow I start by saying I hate the game but I love the game but only because of some of people in the game I say im on the road nobody goes and that sometimes I feel like im drowning basicly this verse explains where I am at in life and where I want to go and I end with a prayer to the good lord above and then another hook comes in and then the beat fades
22
Chapter 15 Mother This is the 3rd remake song to make this album. This album was all made to tell my story in life and how could I do that without doing a few song remakes that touched me through the years this is my remake of danzigs mother song with a completely original beat this is a greta song. The only thing we took from danzig on this remake was the words from the hook. Basicly this song is about my struggle in life how ive struggled and struggled and struggled some more. I could go into detail on this one but I feel you would get more by just hearing this song.
23
Chapter 16 Chicken Barns & Cow Shit This song has garnered me more messages then any other song on the album with some saying they love the heck out this song and that its so orginal then Ive heard what were you think what the hell why chicken barns and cow shit then feedback such as dope song wrong topic. But in order to tell my story I have to do music to beats I like but to topics I like as well and this is one of them songs. This song starts off with my daily life looking at these walls and how I live 15 miles from town and how im hopeless and shit then I go into seeing horse shows and chicken barns and how im gonna go crazy if I see one more now in reality no I aint gonna go crazy but I wanted to instill the fact that where I live thats what it is horses sharpie markers and cow shit from all the cattle around. I touch on the bordom and once again I touch on the thought of moving out of state but then I reply back I couldnt ever leave here then the hook comes in and is back to explain the title of the song and once again on how I would love to move but I couldnt ever do it. Then the second verse touches on the fact that their isnt much opportunity here but that we the type of people who will go out and get it if we have to then I compare myself to nasa and I explain on how im about the country livin all the way I also touch on how im ignored but yet how hard I work but in the end its always about chicken barns and cow shit then the hook hits again and the song closes with an amazing guitar solo
24
Chapter 17 Mama Always Said this song begins with a cool intro and then aizy opens with the first verse with a fast great verse this whole sng is about what our mama always said and also what granny said again this is a song I wont go into much deal about cause you really need to hear it to hear the story this is the only track on this album that fts street thug a former member of aizy waynes now defunct rap group cityfide
25
Chapter 18 The Tennessee Way Of Livin This is s song I decided to make to touch on the Tennessee way of living. I wont describe this one verse for verse but I will touch on the basis of the song. I feel a lot of people have a bad stereotype about us Tennessee people so I thought lets make a upbeat song and touch base on Tennessee things such as shine the party’s the life the living the country anything Tennessee I wanted to touch base on so I also talk about the tva lakes the ladies and so much more this is one of my favorite songs no doubt and I think you will find even though this song is last on the album the reason it is in this place is to close my story out with a bang with a real life down home Tennessee song
26
Chapter 19 In Closing In closing I want to once again try to share with you about what im about instead of what you have hear dim about. Over the last year ive faced so many struggles ive been arrested twice on charges I didnt do and thats why I beat them all in court this last time was by a Warner brothers artist over a song and video he felt was about him but honestly wasnt. Ive had so many go out there way to destroy me and what I got going on. In the past year ive gone through 3 managers because they didnt deliver anything close to what they promised in fact most never even worked at all. But here I am im still standing still tryin to show the world im not the sadistc crazy selfish person they have heard I am. Ive learned over the last few years that rumurs can and will destroy you and sometimes theres nothing you can do but keep moving forward and work hard everyday to show the world you arent what these people say you are most lie and cheat to only further themselves and a sad fact is the majority will burn you if it furthers themselves. So this is my project called “My Story� and I hope that after reading this and hearing the new cd that I have earned you as a fan cause in the end it is you all who are most important you the ones who make or break us I need everyone of you more then anything I just ask for your support and I promise to keep delivering you real music. Once again thank you and may god bless all of you
