Is it true we can be anything
Painted faces in a living dream
And all I want is
To be everything that love can mean
Ohh na na is it impossible?
Pushing for what seems like eternity
Looking for some pieces of clarity
That can possibly reveal what my destiny
Will say will life give me something good
Cuz I want it
Yes I want it
Yayaya cuz I want it
Yes i want it
Running through all of this history
All this empty pain inside of me
And I can’t ignore it
I am hungry for life energy
Ohnana is it impossible
Pushing for what seems like eternity
Looking for some pieces of clarity
That can possibly reveal what my destiny
Will say will life give me something good
Cuz I want it
Yes I want it
Yayaya cuz I want it
Yes i want it

Ride across the sun
Melt away you gone end up
Finding better love
Better than your whole era
Wait a minute
They go on and on
Bout where you just might end up
Earth just ain’t enough
To hold in all that you’ve pent up
Yeah they tell me
This too dangerous
You’re flying way too high young Icarus
You better stay inside away from us
Cuz you’re afraid heights remember cuz?
Levitating
Higher than they’d ever make it
You oughta go go go
Stuck here on the floor
Seeing sights is all make up
Make believe and old
Legends that they all made up
Yeah we know
Reality is cold
Rocket fuel is all Aesop
Time is all we know
But love can make a whole day stop
Yeah they tell me

Gratitude to The Almighty
That I can open my eyes
So I meditate on the gift I’ve been given
Every morning when I rise
Sayin’ Oh Lord Oh Lord Oh Lord I thank you for giving me life
Singin’ Oh LordOh LordOh Lord I thank you I’m breathing in life
So I breathe in
Breathe out
Good Morning
Should I come to an all-time low
I just remember that I
Am alive alive alive and I got time to revive and bring me back right
Sayin’ Oh Lord Oh Lord Oh Lord I thank you for giving me life
Singin’ Oh LordOh LordOh Lord I thank you I’m breathing in life
So I breathe in
Breathe out
Good Morning

V1:
I do fall apart
When I think about it
Feel my lonely heart
We’re so far apart
But so close we touching
We’re both made to love
Pre-C:
Been hiding for so long
Is my love worth your time
Chorus:
This should be easier
Cuz i been dying to try it
Come let me out my cage
Cuz i cant hide no more
This should be easier
Seems like there’s always something
Pulling us back but baby
I can’t hide no more
V2:
Guess I’ll play the part
Though it tends to hurt me
Tell me when to start
Will it leave a scar
If it don’t end up working
Cuz I’m made to love
(Pre-C)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Start it off we got one life
Live it up
We aint got time
To be messing round with this
Tell me now if you feel this
Baby girl what you want do
When you play round and press undo
Girl you know know I cant stand it
Coming up empty handed
(Chorus)

Baby you my centerpiece
Aint none comin closer to what you mean to me
You make me happy just by affinity
Plus your affection got my heart zoomin into infinity
You
Make me a better man intellectually
And you
Making my body rise with ye energy
Ooh baby
Tell me everything that you need
And I’ll make you sure you receive from your head down to your feet
I’m not just anybody
You always up to something
Take off your stress and shoes when you
Get back home to me
Come close and grip my body
Tell me you want me darlin
Tell me your fantasies when you
Get back home to me
Now tell me what needing dear
Sweet nothings in ye ear
Slip into a comfy disposition when you near me
Baby break me off a little something if you hear me
Tell what you doing in the PM
Slide into ye DM
Girl i know you bite your bottom lip when you see em
Ain’t no need for all these inhibitions
I know I’m in your wishes
Let me grant em and grab you by the waist when you all up in your feelings
You know i gotchu
You know I’ll press all the right buttons like tamagotchi
When i am all up in you system I feel like ganja
Way i be making ye scream my name when I’m around ye
Cinnamon give me sugar whenever that you want to
Let me release some of the pressure that you be under
Take me into ye temple and treat ye like a goddess
Sink into deeper levels of pleasure when you want it

Elevator

Guess I shouldn’t stress about the little things
Really should be focusing on everything else
Tell when you mean it I ain’t got the time
I got everything i need within my tribe well
Really shoulda made it clear the first time
Baby to be clear it ain’t the first time
That somebody came with empty promises
Reason why my heart is forever sealed down
Elevator take me up
Somewhere i had given up
Tell my why my love got no life
When i look around my room is empty
So a thought of love is super tempting now
Really am i happy by my lonesome
What am i thinking i gotta hold that down
Really i thought about it the first time
Really i shoulda known from the first time
That I really wasn’t built for a true love
Reason why I got my heart locked down
Elevator take me up
Somewhere i had given up
Tell my why my love got no life

Im in particles whenever you’re around me baby
Broken up in a million pieces I’m medicated
With your love is my drug its all premeditated
Got my mind in a buzz and baby I can’t take it
All i got I’ll give to you come take as I am
Cuz all the material things cant make me understand
Why I can’t aquire happiness til I take your hand in mine
I want all your heart can throw me take me as I am
And baby I know you know that I know I’m in your plans
So darlin get ready while I steadily take your hand in mine
Just say yeyeyes
All electrons in my body they be firing crazy
Burning up electrified inside I’m levitating
Flying high touch the sky so you know I’m elated
Just to find ride or die my heart is emanating
All i got I’ll give to you come take as I am
Cuz all the material things cant make me understand
Why I can’t aquire happiness til I take your hand in mine
I want all your heart can throw me take me as I am
And baby I know you know that I know I’m in your plans
So darlin get ready while I steadily take your hand in mine
Just say yeyeyes

DriveBy

|
Can it be that I fell in too deep?
Recollection feels so far from me
Taking me away from memories
Of pain and I know it
My ruin
Can it be the moonlight drowning me?
Blinding me from all reality
Telling me that all that lies in store here
Is pain and I know it
So I never show you
My real
Save me from my mind
Cuz I ain’t never felt this way before right now
And it’s
Eating me alive
Tell me that
I’m always worth your time
Cuz love
Pulled up on me like a drive by
Pulled up on me like a drive by
So tonight
Can you be my lifeline
Cuz love
Pulled up on me like a drive by
Can it be that I’m imagining
All the little joys I’m feeling here
All the little moments I hold dear
Your love and affection
Has got me
Could it be that I have got this wrong?
Cuz I ain’t felt this way in far too long
And I didn’t think you’d make me stronger
Your love and affection
Is telling me now
That it’s real
Save me from my mind
Cuz I ain’t never felt this way before right now
And it’s
Eating me alive
Tell me that
I’m always worth your time
Cuz love
Pulled up on me like a drive by
Pulled up on me like a drive by
So tonight
Can you be my lifeline
Cuz love
Pulled up on me like a drive by
Got a feeling I need your love tonight
Can you feel that I need your love tonight
Got a feeling I need your love tonight
Can you feel that I need your love tonight
Got a feeling I need your love tonight
Can you feel that I need your love tonight
Got a feeling I need your love tonight
Can you feel that I need your love tonight
Cuz love
Pulled up on me like a drive by
Pulled up on me like a drive by
So tonight
Can you be my lifeline
Cuz love
Pulled up on me like a drive by
Cuz love
Pulled up on me like a drive by
Pulled up on me like a drive by
So tonight
Can you be my lifeline
Cuz love
Pulled up on me like a drive by

Hold up
Why do we always end up arguing
Bout the same old thing
Hello
Tell me are you even listening?
Can you let me in?
Baby I could never understand
How our conversations
End up poisoning the love we made
Maybe all we needs a bit of space and time
But I been dyin’ inside
And I just need to know one thing
Are we worth the wait?
Tell me are worth the wait?
We could have been worth the weight of gold by now
If we’re meant to make it
Are we worth the wait?
Baby are we worth the wait?
Really is it worth the wasted energy
To try to make it
Ayayaya
Oh here we go again
Ayayayaya
I see a pattern growing
Ayayaya
It’s so unnecessary
Ayayaya
Ayayaya
And now
All of the smallest things
Turn into stress its so unbearable
Allow
Me to elaborate it’s
Getting to be a pain to be around you
Baby I could never understand
How our conversations
End up poisoning the love we made
Maybe all we needs a bit of space and time
But I been dyin’ inside
And I just need to know one thing
Are we worth the wait?
Tell me are worth the wait?
We could have been worth the weight of gold by now
If we’re meant to make it
Are we worth the wait?
Baby are we worth the wait?
Really is it worth the wasted energy
To try to make it
Ayayaya
Oh here we go again
Ayayayaya
I see a pattern growing
Ayayaya
It’s so unnecessary
Ayayaya
Ayayaya

All Out

Id run
Across the length of the universe (for you)
Torn up
From all the thorns laid ahead of us
Can’t you see
I’m tired of waiting
For all your promises
Can you control yourself?
Cant you see?
Im fading
Bleeding out patience
All out of love
All out of understanding
I’m all out of love
Just a shadow of the man I used to be
Before you
I’ve come
So far out of Neverland
I’ve poured
Out my heart like an avalanche
Can’t you see
I’m tired of waiting
For all your promises
Can you control yourself?
Cant you see?
Im fading
Bleeding out patience
All out of love
All out of understanding
I’m all out of love
Just a shadow of the man I used to be
Before you

ATARI

They finna play me like Atari
And drop it low like Mata Hari baby
But me I roll like Katamari
10 golden rings like calamari baby
And when we rolling 40 deep
My OTOWmatic sound like Harley
Them haters always out here trippin
I cut em out like hari kiri
Checkin the scene
Ey
All of these rappers around me is one the same
What do you mean
Ey
When the same flow and beat be runnin the game
Listen to me
Ey
But I can bet that my words get lost in the mix
Look at em fiend
Ey
Chasing a rapper like crackheads chasing a fix
Whoo
Trendy trendy trendy
Long as they be trendy
Watch me act a fool to get my hashy trending
Used to talk bout struggle and some corner bending
But me I'm finna mumble fo dat happy ending
Whoa
Watch me wake up everyday inside Bugattis
Whoa
Watch me disrespect a human call em "thotties"
Whoa
But deep inside I'm different from what i portray
Here the hook will be designed for radio to
Play me like Atari
And drop it low like Mata Hari baby
But me I roll like Katamari
10 golden rings like calamari baby
And when we rolling 40 deep
My OTOWmatic sound like Harley
Them haters always out here trippin
I cut em out like hari kiri
When i say I'm trappin mean I'm trapping hearts
Into thinkin that I really got em bars
But really my intention is to hit the charts
So i can make some money that be greener than the salad bar
Whoo
Making it lit
(It's lit)
But know I'm triccin youuu
Into believing what i live in video is truuuu
As long as i can get as many hits up on YouTube
I'll stitch together nonsense and go hide it in some autotune
I live a fantasy
So I can get a mansion on Pacific Palisades
So can I get a mention on your Twitter feed
Talmbout "insert rapper here" got what you need and
Play me like Atari
And drop it low like Mata Hari baby
But me I roll like Katamari
10 golden rings like calamari baby
And when we rolling 40 deep
My OTOWmatic sound like Harley
Them haters always out here trippin
I cut em out like hari kiri
