No life in the streets, they can murder you on tape now... How I'm suppose to eat, when my pockets getn raped wow... Officers oversee, the demise of the family... Prisons are property, Ima buy one and release me... Pow that's the sound of ya last dream... Pow that's the sound of ya dead son ... How he only 12? But you saw him and he had a gun?... Problems on problem, if the system can solve'm... Now state sponsored coffins... Murder you and keep walking... Damn

i looked in the air...and I clare...the sun was smiling for me... i looked at the clouds...and outloud.. heard.. the whistle of the trees... despite my doubt, i think about building a family... in my house, with a spouse? i can barely take care of me... I cant be the only one that think 30 is scary... am I getting too old to be able to reach for my dreams...(and the doubt creeps in but then) i looked in the air...and I clare...the sun was smiling for me... i looked at the clouds...and outloud.. heard.. the whistle of the trees... thinking outloud to somebody, anybody else but me... cuz the voices inside of my head...I think they are afraid of me... i stepped out on faith and faith took care of me... if i'm too old...then what about Jay-Z? he older than me...(put ya diamonds) i looked in the air...and I clare...the sun was smiling for me... i looked at the clouds...and outloud.. heard.. the whistle of the trees... (sax solo) 2:24-3:38 i looked in the air...and I clare...the sun was smiling for me... i looked at the clouds...and outloud.. heard.. the whistle of the trees... despite my doubt, i think about building a family... in my house, with a spouse? i can barely take care of me... i looked in the air...and I clare...the sun was smiling for me... i looked at the clouds...and outloud.. heard.. the whistle of the trees... thinking outloud to somebody, anybody else but me... cuz the voices inside of my head...I think they are afraid of me...

You won't love me til you love yourself... Talk bout loving, go be by yourself... You won't love it, til you find the hope... Cuz when you find that love, that love is dope!!! Who knew the wind would blow the way it do... It hit me...therefore suddenly I knew That if I try to love you how I love myself... Then love would be there for me everywhere..: As the earth shakes underneath me...And the feelings pile up melancholy...A whisper said you can change yo mind...And the lessons i still learn in time. And if we never on time anyway, some might not care what we have to say...some might have a problem with you cuz you gay...fuck'em with duct tape...I guess that was harsh A. (Bridge) "GET IN THE WATER" Something told me, the sun would shine for us again, when... I refocus on the beginning not the end... the summer around the corner after the rain...but can I dance in the rain...can I be brave, withstand the pain... Life, it don't come in black and white...there's many colors...in the darkness find the light...to discover... A greater, destiny for me...uncover...another galaxy, majesty "GET IN THE WATER" (this is a 2 for 1 special...the ladies are on fire tonight...) get the cash... pick it up...x5 DDDDRRRROOOOPPPP... pick it up...x5 DDDDRRRROOOOPPPP...

Need U Here 03:12

every now and then my heart breaks Thinking of all these mistakes Where did I go wrong Every now and then I realize That I'm broken inside and the only remedy is love C I think I need you here Cause I'm so insecure And broken down inside I'm alone somehow In this crowded town I need love back in my life (2 bars) Hit the pause button and rewind play through the past in my mind way too many nights now i just want to say thank you for all the hell you put me through the most difficult of times Every now and then I regret The times I forget Just what you done for me We were torn asunder And now I wonder What might be (Chorus) I need love back in my life.

You don't know what you got until it's gone...x2 (shani second time) I'm trying to find...a little piece of mind... But I know it floated away in your memories... I just hope to give give a little piece of me...but since you're gone, all I got left is a little peace... The distance isn't real...as long as we still feel...those same emotions that came with this levetated heart... Until you left, I didn't really know...that you were always there right right from the very start... Been searching my whole life...for a piece of myself...that was right there with me the whole time... I've been trying to free free this little piece of me but it's locked up locked for some petty crime... We need something real, give us something we can feel...because the future can be seen from the past... And in this moment I hope we create something...that these feelings won't leave us and they can last... Hook Locked up in my own mind, cuz ya can't jail these ideas... Hoping to get some freedom, because it's only fellas in here... Malcolm with the nut meg...trying to shake this monkey off my back... At the rave we just ride the wave, police coming in from all sides... I would run but nowhere to go...just lost in the desert now... Call the Valkyries to release me, so I can see my angel now... Just want to see my momma again, let her that know I'm okay... Trying to ball in the jordan, til all that shit fade away... Chorus

If I ain't the one then let me know...I can go...I can go... I think it's time you let me know...if you want me or want some more... Cuz I've been waitin for ya, all the time...just hoping I'm the one that's on your mind...I'm not sure what's for ya...him or me...but if I ain't the one then baby let me be... If I ain't the one then let me know...I can go...I can go... I think it's time you let me know...if you want me or want some more.. Your eyes are like paradise, and ya whole body...is the attraction I been waiting to see... And your mind has merged with your heart...so please don't tell me that I have to walk.. Tu cuerpo es pequeño, mi mona lisa, tú mi queso mi pizza... Qué bonita, muy picante', también eres muy inteligente, y septiembre o diciembre, te veo

They ask about the future? I say it's right now. They be like wassup with you...it's bout to go down... I'm feeling like I just won the championship round... And all my friends with me and they smoking on a pound... They ask about my present? And we stuck in the past... They say keep it going do it harder make it last... Hydrogen bombed and you runnin out of gas... Ya better do something and I hope you do it fast... Do it fast muffuckah...do it fast... Roll the grass young brother roll the grass... Don't be last young mother don't be last...cause the last will be first...one day... I'm thinking of a master plan, similar to the ones used by the man...to revive my community. Rise to immunity, nothing coming new to me...life moving fluently... speaking praying congruently... Look at all I threw at me...the old me? Eulogy...this is something new to see... More like jodeci, mixed with some hennesy, add a little grenadine, keep it sweet and keep it clean... Playing for the same team...coming from a different earth...all about the actions parlee'n with some verbs... With some Birds with some herbs and bands from that master plan...the one that I got from the man...who took that shit from the land... bring a chip to da ville. Then you know you kept it real... All I saw in ink blots what's pens to seal the deal...climbing to the treetop for honey just to have a meal... Stung by the bees the love block da pain ya feel... One morsel hit ya tongue...all the pain go numb...that's when ya know ya eternal days have begun... Ya transcend this life be one with the sun...be one with the gun...be one with the run...she just trying to be herself, and he saying that she the one... He saying she's the earth...he's saying she's the moon...electricity just feels up the room...an amazing maze of love shit...all from above shit...love with no glove shit...all up in the tub shit...ok just the tip shit...hit ya like a hypnotis...pause'm like the matrix... Retire it, Shawn Marion! how does it feel being beaten by the love whip... Bridge (sax solo) 2:23 (Kaitlin sings on the bridge) ("You know how people say when you find the right one, you'll know. I use to think that was bullshit but they're onto something) 2:35-3:27 It's a new day...we're making our own way... Fuck them skies that's gray...life with you is great... You ready for some changes then let me know...cuz nothing stay the same from the ceiling to the flo... You ready for some changes then let me know.. you still doing that, we don't do it no more... You ready for some changes then let me know...ya held on to long...ya gotta let it go. You ready for some changes then let me know...cuz nothing stay the same anyway anymo..
