We've all seen a Tom
Rich man pass the baton
Godspeed big shoe
Stay loose and make it move

Try not to escape
Practice neatness in penmanship
Absolutely no finder's fee
We're rolling long haul

In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
And then in about a week it'll haunt me
In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
Underneath the leaves slowly terminating

Creating a community without a dichotomy
Reject the king
Malefactor sing
Find your reality
Oh say church

I don't want to return to scorched earth
Or roll around in the dirt
Or skip over those who got hurt

In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
And then in about a week it'll haunt me
In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
Underneath the leaves slowly terminating

We are nice to be behind
But heavens no
We are not leading
And there's not much time left

In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
And then in about a week it'll haunt me
In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
Underneath the leaves slowly terminating

We could be from anywhere
But I want the right approach
Could be what you never thought
Could be what you thought the most

I could use a dinner date
I wanna eat you raw
Now take a look at me
Tell me what you saw

Would you wanna be off for the summer?
Out in the country
Drivin' a Hummer
We could be getting my number
My name is Eve and I'm just a soul you couldn't handle
Would you wanna be off?

Could share with me a memory
Or win me a teddy bear
Could you be something I can't be
Or something we all were

(Could be) It's not you
It's me
Or maybe it's him
But don't believe anything
If it goes on a whim

Would you wanna be off for the summer?
Out in the country
Drivin' a Hummer
We could be getting my number
My name is Eve and I'm just a soul you couldn't handle
Would you wanna be off?

A manatee
Amnesty
Deodorant
Detorant
Casanova
Castanova
Here's another
Here's another

Would you wanna be off for the summer?
Out in the country
Drivin' a Hummer
We could be getting my number
My name is Eve and I'm just a soul you couldn't handle
Would you wanna be off?

shadows falling all around me
can’t see the stars through cloudy nights
been searching for a ray of sunshine
something to make everything alright

but i know i know i know
there’s a light that never fades
and i feel i feel i feel
better days are on their way

hope is glitter in the darkness (sparkle!)
shining when you least expect (oh yeah!)
like diamonds scattered through the universe (uni-verse!)
reminding me i’m not done yet (keep going!)

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (whoa!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (no way!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (shine on!)
guiding me to brighter days (ay-ay!)

sometimes i think i can’t continue
the weight is more than i can bear
then i remember all the reasons
to push through pain and still care

‘cause i know i know i know
there’s a strength inside that grows
and i feel i feel i feel
a fire that still glows

hope is glitter in the darkness (light it up!)
shining when you least expect (surprise!)
like diamonds scattered through the universe (stardust!)
reminding me i’m not done yet (never quit!)

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (hold on!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (find it!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (glimmer!)
guiding me to brighter days (so bright!)

even in my darkest hour
i can feel that power
sparkling shimmering
glittering delivering
the promise of tomorrow
breaking through my sorrow

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (rising!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (new path!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (twinkle!)
guiding me to brighter days (yes way!)

sparkle shine believe
glitter through the night
hope will always be
your guiding light

Raise your fears up high
Or drown 'em in the sea
Screamin' in the air
Somethin'
Somethin'
Somethin'

Keep your legs
Your legs steady
Head
Head
Heavy
Hold your cross 'til the bell tolls
Keep your legs
Your legs steady
Head
Head
Heavy (Kee-kee-kee)
Hold your cross and make amends
(Bong bong bong)

Findin' new weather
Paintin' the new hymn
Through the eyes of believers
Buildin'
Buildin'
Buildin'

Keep your legs
Your legs steady
Head
Head
Heavy
Hold your cross 'til the bell tolls
Keep your legs
Your legs
Steady
Head
Head
Heavy
Hold your cross and make amends
Hold steady

Follow the footprints of centuries
Lost in the fields of she always ran
Carving out all of the treasuries
We read alone in the rain

Why does it sound so much worse in the morning?
Cry out the letters she sent when we met at that place
Why'd you make me wait when I knew you were wrong?
There she goes

I've known love
And love constantly goes
And if I leave everything open
I'm constantly closed
I can't leave anyone hangin'
But yet I still hang like a post

Feels like she moves in slow motion
I can't let 'er down 'cause she's already gone
Want her around
But I know that would be so wrong
There's so much to see in the world

Why does it sound so much worse in the morning?
Cry out the letters she sent when we met at that place
Why'd you make me wait when I knew you were wrong?
There she goes

Caught in the middle of something again
Why do I mention whenever I can?

Unlock the moment of rubies and stains
Looking to find when the love met the rain
Locked in an image as clear as the rain
Lookin' to find through eternity

You call it love I call it guessing
Every word you drop feels like testing
Got your silence wrapped in gold
But it’s cold so cold

You rewrite truth like it’s fiction
Tangled up in your conviction
No more space for indecision
I’m stepping out

Turn the page I’m not your chapter
Not a footnote you chase after
I don’t bend I don’t shatter
Watch me now I’m louder faster

Your timing’s always perfect late
Say you care but hesitate
I’ve worn doubt like second skin
Not again I’m done with thin

You rewrite truth like it’s fiction
Tangled up in your conviction
No more space for indecision
I’m stepping out

Turn the page I’m not your chapter
Not a footnote you chase after
I don’t bend I don’t shatter
Watch me now I’m louder faster

Thought I needed fixing—no I needed clear
Not your maze not your mirror

Now I breathe in my own rhythm
You can keep your prism vision

You used to call me late night
Hope I ain't just your late night
When can I see you again?
So sorry I'm not a pain
Um (but)

I been workin' nine to five (ask me baby)
Smokin' bomb on my free time (light it baby)
Keep that love on my mind (kiss me baby)
Keep that love (K-I-S-S kiss me)
Makin' music all the time (mister radio play it play it)
Hit a milli and I'll cry (ooh my audience so loud)
Growin' up with the mic (fallin' steady fall watch it)
I can stay low

But when my song comes on
That's when I get so confident
Ooh
I put my own words in my mouth
And yes
I'm saying it out loud
That when my song comes on
I make my mama proud of me
Growin' up loving me (uh)
Hold up
Wait
Watch it
Look
Uh

Seventeen
I'm on a stage singin'
Haze off the coast
Eighteen in the city
Still hidin'
From the snow
Jumpin' down 85
When I'm driving home
Levitate for no reason
Cus' they changed the seasons

Makin' music all the time (oh)
Keep a milli on my mind (oh)
Growin' up with the mic (oh yes hunny)
I could stay low

But when my song comes on
That's when I get so confident
Ooh
I put my own words in my mouth
And yes
I'm saying it out loud
That when my song comes on
I make my mama proud of me
Growin' up loving me
Hold up
Wait
Watch it
Look

Under the mirrorball
Shining like the light of God
We were so beautiful
What the hell happened y'all

Love died when the music stopped
Now my feet can't feel the floor
And every step is getting hard
'Cause she's not with me anymore

I'm dancing the pain away
Disco ball won't let me go
I'm begging it to save my soul
From drowning in lonely
I'm dancing the pain away
Falling in the beat with someone else
But wishing it was her
My God
I need help
'Cause she's not with me anymore

So long farewell
I'll wait for you
Wrote you every night
'Til I deleted you
Love's a drug
I lean on borrowed time
One day you'll be back
But tonight's the night I die

I'm dancing the pain away
Disco ball won't let me go
I'm begging it to save my soul
From drowning in lonely
I'm dancing the pain away
Falling in the beat with someone else
But wishing it was her
My God
I need help
'Cause she's not with me anymore

Hope and happiness
Sleeping on an airplane
I'm too afraid of heights
Can't hide from orange dreams

Get on my side
Get off my knees
Get on my side
Get off my knees

Daydreaming of Hillary
Of her running up the beaches
She always looks so good
With my hands up to my ears

Get on my side
Get off my knees
Get on my side
Get off my knees

Hope and happiness
Nothing in my brain
And no
No one knows my name

That's how I like it
Hope and dreams
Swimming in the ocean
Happiest I've ever been

Get on my side
Get off my knees
Get on my side
Get off my knees

Summer vacation
Gets so tiring
Find ourselves tangled up
God loves rocks
Personal friend of mine

Get on my side
Get off my knees
Get on my side
Get off my knees

Feel the ground as it trembles underfoot
Steps are getting faster now I know I never should
See the tide as it pulls me out to sea
Waves are getting higher but it’s where I wanna be
Liberate

Feel the ground as it trembles underfoot
Steps are getting faster now I know I never should
See the tide as it pulls me out to sea
Waves are getting higher but it’s where I wanna be
Liberate

Liberate
Liberate
Liberate
Liberate

Once you leap there's no turning back
Once you leap there's no turning back
Once you leap there's no turning back
Once you leap there's no turning back
Once you leap there's no turning back
Take the dive
Once you leap there's no turning back
Take the dive

Feel the ground as it trembles underfoot
Steps are getting faster now I know I never should
See the tide as it pulls me out to sea
Waves are getting higher but it’s where I wanna be
Liberate

Liberate
Liberate

Told me I’d regret it — guess I forgot
Living like a risk you never got
I’ve been spinning hours into peace
While you watch from your retreat

You sip on rules I drink the rain
You dress your truth in borrowed shame

I’m not the one who’s stuck in place
You paint your fear across my face
But I don’t flinch I don’t explain
I dance through thunder sing through pain
You call it chaos — I call it mine

You hold your breath and wait for grace
I jump first I don't brace
Maps never knew my way
Still I find more than you say

You sip on rules I drink the rain
You dress your truth in borrowed shame

I’m not the one who’s stuck in place
You paint your fear across my face
But I don’t flinch I don’t explain
I dance through thunder sing through pain
You call it chaos — I call it mine

Maybe I’m too much for your quiet
But I’m a riot you won’t forget

Keep your calm and curated days
I’ll be gone in brighter ways

Remember kids all DJs are double agents
A cool bassline resuscitates a patient
So you're a beginner and you want be a winner
Well slap some mustard on my buns and call me a wiener

Just hang on tight and remember this advice
If you're heating up the scene then pretend you're cool as ice
Don't need to have a big bag of tricks
When you only really need three basic tips so c'mon

Like this (Come on come on come on) And like that
(Suckers never play by the rules)
Like this and like that (Incredible fantastic wonderful)
And say (We are the robots)

Say what?
(Say ho ho ho ho ho)
One more time for your mind go

My supercomputer with my super producers
And all my time traveling dimension benders
They can tell you about skills when mine are spenters
Because they come from different places
And they're masters at their traces

But you can keep it simple rappers start to do as a sample

(Harlem city) They do it like this
(We are the robots) They do it like this
(We are the robots) They do it like this
Like this

Yeah
'bout to enter
A new era of Harlem hip-hop
The streets of Harlem
They tell these stories to me

Struggle
Life movin' fast
Juggle
It's spiral now
That's my soul jumpin' over puddles
Walks down 110th
Whispers of lost lovers
We stand in the midst of the band's discovery
Temptation's just a calm life away from survival
Only thang stay in focus is my rival
Need you
Know what I mean
We shifted our tribe for a fiend
It was a trap but we alive
Need an electric boogaloo
Sippin' matcha tea in Malibu
Staying silent with the crew perhaps
The island be spinning last acts of greed
Gotta see that you may never be my speed

The streets of Harlem
They tell these stories told
With unpolished
Feel me
We gon' crack a code
Get that bag
And then we split it with the load
On Bodega cashers
They gon' know
The streets of Harlem
They tell these stories to me
Raw
From the heart
Straight organically
Get that bag
Then we split it with the family
Bodega cashers
They gon' see

Jump when them cops shout
Some came from outta town
And me
Right here been my home about thirty miles
From the central park
Harlem nights found a crown
Couple that got decrep' and shady with foul actions
I'm in the job that's got me screamin fuck rations
My two feet more than defeat over the soil
When parked up I'm getting spoiled
They had coals on 125th
It was real loyal
Bro goddamn
All of us are grinnin like
"What's your plan?"
Stayin solid down to it when we dead game's gettin a bit nuts
Even the air smellin' like glamour and envy
We bet not get stuck
But come and help us
When the universe give us the chance
We glowed up
New cloth
She said her grandma was elusive too
My gramps
Come see his tape too
He just turned dirt over with his right hand
Fill a pot with plants
Woke up the clan
Blue line

Bone cold gunshots and rain
Forecast brought me the pain
It won't bleed again

Alone (As we walk through)
The rain (It's forecast)
Whisper (I heard and called)
Your name (Until you came)
These moments (The moments that)
Keep playing (In my mind)
In my brain (Calendar 'til the day)
And as I fade

It'll never be the same again
I never felt this way
I never will again
It was love until it ends
As we cling to faith
(As we fade)

Bone cold gunshots and rain
Forecast brought me the pain
It won't bleed again

How do you hold on
To something that's already gone?
I won't leave you
But I can't stay here for long
A gentle whisper
A gentle touch
A gentle ache inside
At night

It'll never be the same again
I never felt this way
I never will again
It was love until it ends
As we cling to faith
(As we fade)
How many times can a heart be broke
And still fall in love again?
How long can a man hold on?
I'll hold on as long as I can

Glass towers hum in fading blue
Faint reflections split in two
Footsteps curve through liquid air
Tracing paths to nowhere

Weightless currents pull me near
Time dissolves yet stays so clear

Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts

Torn-out pages words erased
Stories shift but won’t replace
Drifting through a silent storm
Shaping what was never formed

Weightless currents pull me near
Time dissolves yet stays so clear

Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts

No rewind no fading lines
Only fire left to find

Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts

Uhh
Mmm
Mm-hmm
Mmm-mm mm-mm mm-mm (Mm-mm)
Mm-mm-mm-mm mm (Ayy)
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

And when the night comes
Baby
You won't be long (Mm-mm)
And when the morning come
Pssh
Ugh!
You're gone (You're gone aye)
W-w-when the dark clouds open
The lights will burn (Burn)
Tell me
Yah-yah
Yah-yah
What's goin' on? (Tell me yah-yah-yah-yah)

And you're hiding in the dark on a mountain
And you're slowin' down—uh—because you're busy
Busy
Wow-wow
And you swipe it
Swipe it
Down-up-up
Down-up-down
And you're so hot
Hotter than the Buenos Mama (Ah)

Mmm-mm mm-mm mm-mm (Mm-mm)
Mm-mm-mm-mm mm (Ayy)
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Yeah movin’ through the night got my mind on the run
Shadows in the rearview but I ain't the one
Swipe left swipe right I ain't playin’ no games
Every step that I take I be switchin’ the lanes

Got a call from the past but I let it decline
Ain’t no time for the fake I be chasin’ the shine
Skyline glowin’ yeah the city stay alive
When the dark clouds break man the stars gotta rise

Tell me yah-yah what's goin’ on?
Took a leap of faith now the fear is gone
Lights too bright but I play along
When the morning comes I’ll be movin’ on

When the night comes
Baby
You won't be long (Uh-)
When the morning come
Pssh
Ugh!
He's gone (He's gone he's gone)
W-w-when the dark clouds open
The lights will burn
Tell me
Yah-yah
Three
Four
What's goin' on? (Tell me yah-yah-yah-yah)

Tell me
Yah-yah
What's goin' on?
Tell me
Yah-yah
What's goin' on?
Tell me
Yah-yah
What's goin' on?
Tell me
Yah-yah
What's goin' on?

Keep your calm and curated days
I’ll be gone in brighter ways

Close my eyes breathe slow
Every step letting go
Cities blur roads unknown
Finding peace on my own

Far away from the noise tonight
Just me and fading city lights

Take me somewhere far from here
Miles away where the sky is clear
Nothing left for me to fear
Far away just disappear

Empty roads silent nights
Stars awake quiet skies
Leaving now no goodbyes
Freedom whispers gentle sighs

Far away from the noise tonight
Just me and fading city lights

Take me somewhere far from here
Miles away where the sky is clear
Nothing left for me to fear
Far away just disappear

Heart’s been heavy time to roam
Searching for a place called home
No regrets no tears to cry
Gone tonight no asking why

Take me somewhere far from here
Far away just disappear

Yes
Way down
Way down
Way down
Way down
Whoo!
Way down
Way down
This a freeway song
We sell work
Bruh
We ain't on "wei chong"
We let 'em die homie
We don't weigh Chong
Way down
Way down
Battle [Allen?]
Way down
Way down
Don't take no breaks

Dawg
Bring them red eyes along
Dawgs 'sleep' on me
I prolly woke they moms
Homies reach on me then that's just close they arms
Way down
Way down
Y'all do this once a month

All my dawgs be trappin' like homies exiting pr-on
I used to play with that heart and made a pocket off strong arm
If I try to be LeBron then I ain't talkin' bout bron-bron [LeBron?]
Why you Qbs playing bond
We wanna salt again
On what?

Uhn
Folding s**t
Origami if you trynna front
Race a stripper booted up and make her come in the front
If I'd a buck on my homie
We'd a been done up the one

What's going on
Dawgies?
What's happening
Slim?
Why these motherfu***ers actin' like they're leupsum qualm?

Actin' like they wanna go bat below on this

Ay yo
Get your girl

Monday through Sunday
And I'm going out crazy me
Like 21 7 6 5 4 3
And I'm going off

I said
I was learning my numbers when yugonna stop playing (when you gonna stop playing)
Taking all of this time
Fuh? you're coming with me (you're coming with me)
What you think I'm for

Yes
Babygirl finally reaching on
Like twinkle twinkle
Little star
What you think
Huh
For me?

What's going on
Dawgies?
What's happening
Slim?
Why these motherfu***ers actin' like they're leupsum qualm?
Actin' like I ain't in here playing with scary homeboys
Actin' like they wanna go bat below on this

Oh
Babydoll finally reached the bottom
And nobody was alarmed
"Babygirl
It ain't that deep"
And now
Now look at the past
And they didn't pray at first

Wow
Spiritus
It goes a long way

I've just been livin' it
Riskin' it all
Had a vision I was gonna come up swingin' it
Kissin' goodbye
Won't you switch up for me
Envision this for a minute
Get the grin off your cheek
I'm tired of listenin'
But I'm clappin' along
When you're so kind to me
Glad to meet you
You're so kind

I saw the stone wall crumblin'
I saw the main stage settlin' down
Bird-watchin'
Moon howlin'
Let me see
Ooh

Sweaty Eddie
You could be lucky now
Hoppin' on the bandwagon
Sweaty Eddie
Stop for me now
Servin' a turn
As it happens
Sweaty Eddie
You could be lovely now
Hoppin' on the bandwagon
Sweaty Eddie
I see now
Take it in stride as it passes

Drop the pretenses
As the world relapses
Misunderstandings
Up in the attic
Pick it up
Pick it up
Carry it tall now
Oh my

Have we ever met before? I swear that I know it
Could I have a little bit more? I've gotten to know you quite well
I can see it comin' on
Now you're convinced
If you want me to
Convince me

Sweaty Eddie
You could be lucky now
Hoppin' on the bandwagon
Sweaty Eddie
Stop for me now
Servin' a turn
As it happens
Sweaty Eddie
You could be lovely now
Hoppin' on the bandwagon
Sweaty Eddie
I see now
Take it in stride as it passes

Have we ever met before? I swear that I know it
Could I have a little bit more? I've gotten to know you
It's quite alright
I can see it comin' on
Now you're convinced
Convince me
