Theme Song

(Intro) – Kanye West Grammy Award Speech
(Pre-Hook)
Screams from haters got a nice ring to it,
I guess every superhero need his theme music
(Verse 1)
You accuse me cuz I’m in the Cuse see,
Living brand new dreams
Killing these obtuse teens
But you never thought that I would be in a movie
Fighting like I’m Bruce Lee, usually
I’m sitting in my room, thinking
Me, you and so and so
Could travel down a lonely road
are we finally home
If I could hone, my lonely soul
As a poster child in movie roles
Then I would probably change the mold
And have a royal flush and fold
Why these nights so dark and cold
They ask me why I overload
These lines with so many prose
So ask the English hoes
If I spoke appro---priately
But know I’m a pro, see
(Hook) (2x)
Screams from haters got a nice ring to it,
I guess every superhero need his theme music
This my theme song (3x)
So you should dream on
(Verse 2)
I’m award show, glorious
Tell me what your story is
Tell me how you want to live
Then tell me what you really did
See, there’s a hater screaming at you now
Saying you should back down
Pack it up and leave town
Enough of these clowns
See me just grabbing rebounds
See I have the flow to go ahead and lead now
This my life, one chance is all you ever get
after my accident, not feeling its an accident
That I’m stacking checks, and packing decks
The fam is next, to be rewarded
For what they endured, kids
I heard success is what you make of it
I’m sorry that you faded quick
But the next, hopefully’ll stay a bit
So I’ve paid my rent
Never had to repent
And oh there’s another hater getting upset
Welcome to my project
Life: The Show, is coming up next
(Hook)
Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it,
I guess every superhero need his theme music
This my theme song,
This my theme song
This my theme song,
You should dream on
Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it,
I guess every superhero need his theme music
This my theme song
This my theme song,
This my theme song
You should dream on

Out of Tune
03:26
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Is it a problem if I sing out of tune?
Because when I walk into rooms, people stand up and applause things that I did not do
Bit off so much that I could not chew, are you out of view?
But a few of us, just cuss, lust, and kick up dust
And all this shit just got stuck,
So a plumber needs to be called, to unclog my life’s toilet
Right or wrong, it’s what it’s feeling like
Now if you can’t requite, just say goodnight
It seems we fight for a light that we did not ignite,
Sometimes I only do it out of spite
But it’s like, if you could reformat your past
Would you upgrade for the cash, or have enough days it would last,
Like 105 years, don’t cry tears, fight fears, my minds clear, and I’m right here
So I’ve cried fear with a clouded mind, we all have from time to time
And it’s all sad when it doesn’t rhyme, I’m…
Killing it again for no particular reason, 30 below freezing,
And I’m easy past cold demons, there’s no reason to see me bleeding,
It’s so easy to be me dreaming, reality and casualty with no causality,
Is bad luck for the man with a plan on the masterpiece, that we call existence
If it didn’t happen for a reason, then what’s not permitting, me from getting
Revenge, rage, sex, and any prescriptions, that you might hide in the kitchen
Your lies are befitting of a star that shines with light that burned out eons ago, but we’re just so far below
That we didn’t know, we didn’t see…it won’t be sweet victory,
No elixir given for free, this life wasn’t chosen for me
But it’s all I got, if you wanna know what the fee would be
Immediately, I’m proceeding in 3D, drives, desires, and dreams big,
But it requires the right schemes, so as we’re separating tonight’s teams,
Haves, have nots, and might be’s, see I might be
In a category, rightly, to sprite wings and ignite dreams, so it seems
I constantly use dreams to rhyme with, but if you wanna be timeless,
You probably shouldn’t time this, because with every single rhyme, it’s
On to the next one, with the set sun, lucky that I never had to be a step son,
Or possess guns…for my own safety, maybe that’s why I can’t relate to Jay-Z
Ain’t it crazy, no it’s just the random occurrence of events that present us like boats in the currents
So if your won’ts become word switched, like encouragements, don’t discourage kids, or go blaring fibs
Or close these lids, like you’re the last one allowed to open the jar,
My hope is far from Sunset Boulevard, I’ve been down, stressed and full of heart
That’s what made me take this school of art,
The foolish part, is I’ve impressed professors without ever going hard,
I’m not showing off, I’m just coming in with open arms,
And going nuts like peanut farms, so be informed
I’m not seeing wars, I’m seeing windows to your walls
So while you’re closed in jail, I’m watching the ISIS terrorist cell,
Mayhem near the S-T-L, kids in playpens playing in hell
So I stayed in by myself, maybe your walls would really help
So I ask if I fail, can I sing out of tune just so life’s not stale
So it’s back to the boats, time to sail, farewell

A Lost Soul
05:16
|
|||
(Verse 1)
So I see my grandma struggling,
And I wonder what if
Do we really know what it is
Did we ever discuss it
Man, my grandma would have loved this
Damn, I want another hug and kiss
It seems that we leave this earth too soon
She never got to see all of things that I could do
My mom tells me she’s watching down over you
And most nights, I hope see really doesn’t see
Because most nights, I’m having trouble, struggling
I’m not overdosed on drugs, you see
I don’t even do that experimentally
But I’m fearing mentally,
That if she knew me now, she might be resenting me
But that’s thoughts from an enemy
So I’m defending your entity
Until the day you send for me
(Hook)
Don’t ask me why
Cuz I’m not gonna talk, I’m not gonna talk, I’m not gonna talk about it
You can try to fly
But you might find, that you just gotta walk around it
And I could tell a lie
But you’d know why, then you’d probably doubt it
And I could say goodbye
But I just might find, that I’m better off without it
(Verse 2)
So if you didn’t pick up on the first verse
I was one of six putting her in the hearse
Bout the last time I ever stepped in a church
If I went back, I bet it’d probably just burn
Not because I believe the devil lives inside of me
Because I don’t support religion, tired of you using it
To throw fits and start wars, is this what your Jesus died for
So you cry Lord, no answer
Maybe I’m just still mad, it hit her like a cancer
I don’t have a better chance for,
Trying to enhance our
Time we spent together, but laughs we had will last for—ever
And a couple years beyond that
I start to cry when I look back
Now I look ahead, you know I’ll be fine Gram
So I guess time flies by then
(Hook 3x)
Don’t ask me why
Cuz I’m not gonna talk, I’m not gonna talk, I’m not gonna talk about it
You can try to fly
But you might find, you gotta walk, that you just gotta walk around it
And I could tell a lie
But you’d know why, then you’d probably doubt it
And I could say goodbye
But I just might find, that I’m better off without it
(background hook)
(bridge 8x)
And I said, No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't know, no,
no, no, no, no, I don't know
(Outro 3x)
Don’t ask me why
You can try to fly
And I could tell a lie
And I could say goodbye

Real
02:03
|

(Hook)
See my grandma told me, to try to be myself
I’m gonna just be real, and I don’t need no help
(Verse 1)
No I’m not the party popping, club hopping
Pulling dollars out my wallet, just to spend on your hotness
I would rather rule the whole metropolis
Or get into a fight with the lochness
Girl you’re a hot mess,
Don’t you even got sense
Probably not, if you think that sentence made sense
See I’m a journalist, holistic, flow spitting, go getting
Type A personality, rap game versitality
You’re always coming after me
Never could you tackle, running like an athlete
In the track meet, your piggy backing happily
So I gotta be real, even if you laugh at me
(Hook) (2x)
See my grandma told me, to try to be myself
I’m gonna just be real, and I don’t need no help
(Verse 2)
(Spoken intro)
Hold up, I’m not going in here. I’m gonna be real, I don’t want to start the verse yet
(Actual verse)
So I’m on my goofy flow, with Pluto and Pinocchio
But I’m not in a Disney role, at the top, look out below
Come out the box, and steal the show
Watch out for cops, and heroes
They’re not the same, but we know
I try to be the guy, that can make you all feel slow
Never like a zero, trying to uplift, even when you’re down low
So we go jump cliffs, spread wings, and steal home,
Be real, yo
(Hook) (3x)
See my grandma told me, to try to be myself
I’m gonna just be real, and I don’t need no help

Lie to Me
03:22
|
|||
(Hook)
Lie to me, tell me that it all could change
Lie to me, tell me that you’re not the same
Lie to me (2x)
Lie to me, tell me that it all could change
Lie to me (2x)
Lie to me, tell me that you’re not the same
(Verse 1)
Do you really wanna know what I get in to?
All the things I said, I promise it’s been all true
Maybe a few things omitted for your protection
Just like your parents do, I didn’t want you upset and
Worrying about why I’m out, then you draw a weapon
Never have I cheated, that’s truth, no disrespecting
All of the emotions that you poured into the love game
We we’re leading at halftime, heading toward the hall of fame
Fourth quarter, key player got injured,
And it’s never been the same, But I’m still Tim Durr
All you wanna know is if you made it in before
The rain delayed our play, sorry you’re on the par 4.
But hey it’s par for the course
And you couldn’t be my caddie so we got the divorce
And currently I’m adding up both of our scores
So please don’t lie, girl I’ve heard it all before
(Hook)
Lie to me, tell me that it all could change
Lie to me, tell me that you’re not the same
Lie to me (2x)
Lie to me, tell me that it all could change
Lie to me (2x)
Lie to me, tell me that you’re not the same
(Verse 2)
Cheap cheats, liars
Cheat sheets, required
Cheap seats, no higher
I’m flying, out of my door
Because I can’t stay in this house no more
Lifting up the blouse on whores
Who said they want more, than just to endure
Me taking them to the bedroom and throwing our clothes to the floor
See, I ain’t moved on, I moved up,
No disrespect, I give into lust
And when I say we, now it isn’t us
Stay safe please, I’m still in it for love
(Bridge)
Don’t lie to me, I ain’t playing games
Girl, don’t you know, I’m always saying things
Keep the teddy bears, and diamond rings
So I’m not there, but I gave you everything
Am I just a guy, was it just a fling
Maybe I should buy, a wedding ring
Should I apologize, am I wrong?
Don’t worry, next time I’ll lie in the song
(Hook)
Lie to me, tell me that it all could change
Lie to me, tell me that you’re not the same
Lie to me (2x)
Lie to me, tell me that it all could change
Lie to me (2x)
Lie to me, tell me that you’re not the same
Lie to me, tell me that it all could change
Lie to me, tell me that you’re not the same

(Intro)
This the broadway, yeah it’s broadway,
Welcome to the broadway
(Verse 1 - T.D.)
All the girls got the same ol’ story
Coming in here like they just called Maury
And they young, talking statutory
And I’m not dumb, but ya ass is shorty
I got something, you can have it shortly
Let’s not make it a habit for me
Next she calls, then she texts
I ain’t running around here, looking just for sex
See girl, I try to respect
When I open doors and I pick up checks
You just imply that I’ll be kissing your neck
Hold up girl, we ain’t get there yet
It’s a cold, cold world, you ain’t my blanket
No no girl, you ain’t the hot shit
Want your photo taken, hear the cameras click
Think you got the flash, but the wrong outfit
Damn, lights out on broadway
Couldn’t melt me, not even on a hot day
Welcome to my bedroom, is something I did not say
I’m not a cop, you did not commit a robbery (rob-ray)
not in line like Rob and Ray
Robin Williams with a problem, babe
But I’ll probably still lay you at the end of the day
(Deep voice) probably still lay you at the end of the day
Hook (x2)
And all my problems seem to rhyme with names of enemies of mine
And I can't see a place or time when these bitches ain't on my mind
Verse 2 (Mecca)
Hold up, lemme spit this real quick! ...Actually I got about two minutes
T gave me so much time on this track, feel like it's gonna take two studio visits
Why am I feelin like I'm bout to lose my mind now?
Why am I feelin like I'm bout to go crazy?
Two hos on my lap and they ass so fat, bitch, I'm bout to father both yo babies!
Ha! It ain't nothin to me though, got my dick down her throat like I'm drainin a free-throw (Swish!)
And I met her in Reno, got an ass so round, call it Danny DeVito, god damn!
Wait, lemme back up, this ain't supposed to be a track where Mecca act up
(Coughing) Fuck it, we'll do it live!
(Damn these broads got you going crazy, Mec)
On some real shit though, take her on the first date, then it's X and Os
Ha! I don't know how to feel, she reachin for her purse, but I got the bill
I'm like, girl, you don't gotta pay for this
Cause then I'm gettin blown like a handkerchief (What?)
1, 2, 3, make a wish! She kept blowin on that shit like it was made of bricks, god damn!
Look, I'm only bein honest, I'm really not one for all the BS
And the next girl comin' at me with excuses, woo! Good golly, she next!
If you wanna talk shit, then flush, T been tellin me I keep shit too real
Come at me with that hand-me-down shit and I'll box your lyin ass up to Goodwill!
Pick one and I'll take ya there, Planet BS, she got an acre there
Blue eyes and the braided hair, girl don't make this a whole state affair
Look, I'm done with this, take this shit, you can run with it
And I'm sure you'll be fine girl, you can take a whole buncha dick, god damn!
Hook (x2)
(Verse 3 - T.D. )
Ain’t it crazy how we talking bout the same girls
In the game jonesing, something like James Earl
Just ignite the flamethrower, when I’m on the plane
Getting brain, feeling like a high roller (ha)
In the car right now, hoping that I drive sober
Don’t worry babe, see I drive slower
And at the end of the day, pray that I die older
That’s a shoutout to Jermaine
Trouble in my mind, will she runaway today
But my Crooked Smile’s trying to pave the way
So if I took a while, would you stay til May?
Or leave in April, Or wait til June and just hope I’m faithful
Naw, don’t play girl.
You have the whole world in the palm of your hand
But it don’t mean shit when I’m not your man
I flipped script, rewrote the plan
I’m just worried that I’m running out of hope again
Then I go back at every single opening (open-in)
That I can rope you in
Let’s go for a spin, but we still end up in…the back seat
And my hands creep, up to your panties
Pull ‘em down, and we (wait)
Down and we (wait) (2x)
(Verse 2. Continued)
All these girls talking crazy
Like they want my babies
Trying Be-Yonce to my Jay-Z
It’s beyond me, young lady
So she’s 19, with a pipe dream
Of getting piped, see
I’m not gonna be the plumber pipe fitting
And she’s forgetting,
There’s guys worse than me
So the plans now working perfectly
First she leaves, then sees I’m worth the fees
And she comes back trying to do work for me
Purposely I’m not gonna be your Hercules
You’ve become a worthless tease
Because with a little work, you would work my jeans
And let me take a squeeze
These broads lay stacked, and I stand right here vertically
(Outro Mix)
All my problems seem to rhyme with names of enemies of mine, and I can't find a place and time, when these bitches ain't on my mind / This the broadway, yeah it’s broadway,
Welcome to the broadway

Lost Time
03:28
|
|||
So I’m back on it again let’s go
(Hook)
I could really use a wish right now
But the truth is my feelings don’t exist right now
Seem to get ahead and then I fall back down
And the problems in my head, can’t be solved right now
Let’s pretend our lost time, was all found (2x)
I wanna hear the screams coming loud from the crowd
I hope you know I didn’t mean to let you all down
(Verse 1)
Imma try to rock the microphone cuz I want to
And you can try to face all of the demons that confront you
But what you wanna do, and who do you really wanna be?
Answers I don’t have, can’t find em on TV
Face reality, I don’t even have the book
Call for destiny, but the phone is off the hook
Ask if I believed in the chances that I took
And I worry this time, that it’s not all good
lights in sight, heading down the road again
But it seems times change in the middle of your plans
3 years ago on the stage, I stand
Go back to that moment, say save me Tim
Cuz I’m worried that the future goes bad
And memories fade, quicker than a fad
So I’m sitting here in my bed of lies,
But I still see stars when I like up to the skies
(Hook)
Let’s pretend our lost time, was all found (2x)
I wanna hear the screams coming loud from the crowd (2x)
I hope you know I didn’t mean to let you all down (2x)
(Verse 2)
Now it’s time for me to wish upon a star
But I can’t see them shine when I’m standing in the dark
And what if they collide trying to climb all the charts
And we all realize we didn’t have enough heart
So if you don’t know T man, you don’t know shit
Did you face you demons, I know it took grit
As I’m climbing to the top, man I know I can’t quit
Sometimes I might stop, just resting for a bit
Now here we go, must continue on this journey
Devil had his chance, but he could never burn me
And now you’re learning, what life is all about
It’s not about the earnings, throw ‘em all out
Just do what you believe, like a flower, you’ll sprout
Never have a doubt, make your dreams come true
Now the stars shine, but its seems overdue
Asked if I still believe these lines to be true
(Hook)
Let’s pretend our lost time, was all found (2x)
I wanna hear the screams coming loud from the crowd (2x)
I hope you know I didn’t mean to let you all down (2x)

We Had
04:10

(Ashley Voicemail)
Hi, I just wanted to call and see if you were doing better.
(Hook)
Tell me do you think about the times we had
And we had, and we had, and we had, and we had it all
(Verse 1)
So it’s right here, it’s not going away
It’s like my reflection, you just gotta hit play
I hope it doesn’t stop in the middle
Might skip some parts, but that’s okay, it had to
I hope that I never made you second fiddle.
Well I guess I did, that’s okay, I had to
Welp, maybe that’s a lie
Oh well, I’m trying to reflect on the good times
Like standing out in the cold on the Falls side
I’m glad I was your, I met you in the fall guy
But I guess in the end I was the wrong guy
So it’s see you later, and not goodbye
And I might just hope for the better times (2x)
To come back (2x)
But you don’t need me, you’re doing fine
But most days, girl you’re still on my mind
(Hook) (2x)
Tell me do you think about the times we had
And we had, and we had, and we had, and we had it all
Tell me do you think, tell, tell, me do you think, tell me do you think (echoes)
About the times, we had
(Ashley’s Voicemail)
I love you and I miss you
(Verse 2)
Well I still remember the first date,
How happy I was, yeah I couldn’t wait
I can still see, the look on your face
When you said yes, and we started to date
And it’s harder, and harder, to say,
As I look at it now after walking away
I don’t know, if we made the right choice
But all I hear right now is your voice
And slowly it fades, to white noise
And I don’t ever wanna see you with boys
But I hope you’re treated well and never annoyed
I guess you can’t tell, I’m trying to move on
I’m sorry about the times that I did you wrong
Maybe they can be made right in a song
I hope you’ve been writing along
And have some thoughts about the times we had
Like when you were scared to talk to my dad
And when I was in the hospital, so sad
Worrying if I’d make it through
And I’m always worrying about you
So I guess we’re at the point in our life
Trying to figure out wrong from right
Trying to figure why I’m up all night
So I go to the pad and start to write
I guess maybe it should just be, goodnight
So I’ll see you later, all right
So I’ll see you later, all right
So I’ll see you later
(Hook) (2x)
Tell me do you think about the times we had
And we had, and we had, and we had, and we had it all
Tell me do you think, tell, tell, me do you think, tell me do you think (echoes)
About the times, we had
(Bridge)
Whatever I wrote on this album that seems to pertain to you, just know that nothing is meant to portray you negatively. We had some good times, and I’ll always cherish those.
Remember the good times
(Hook)
Tell me do you think, tell, tell, tell, tell me do you think, tell me do you think (echoes)
About the times we had
(Ashley Voicemail)
So, I’ll talk to you later. Bye

(Verse 1)
You ask if I’m going off on this, maybe I’m just a misogynist.
Why is that watch sitting on my wrist? I don’t need time, it makes me think of loneliness
Then I play the only ifs, if only, you would let go so I could go exist
But I would still be missed, Maybe I could change it all with a sultry kiss
Placed softly across your lips, but if..
(Bridge)
I don’t wait it out, for the good thoughts
It’s only mistakes, and unhooked bras
Then it’s late at night, and you get the crook’s call
So disobedient, I’ve never been a good dog
(Verse 1, cont'd)
Maybe I’m just rapping, hoping that I could exclude
Every memory that brings me right back to you
Marching enemies, my memory’s the centerpiece
I guarantee too much bloodshed, in the streets
(Drake Hook)
(Verse 2)
What’d you ask, maybe I’m just losing it
Blueprints came too late, already ruined it
No receipt, you ain’t iPhone viewing it
Maybe I just blew it quick
I always thought the glue would stick
Who are you to criticize, like you always knew this shit?
I tried to stick it out with her, now I’m talking to you bitch
Calm it down Tim, sit back and relax a bit
You’re just snapping at her quick,
Don’t need to pitter-patter spit
You’re on a different ladder
When the winds just blast you, swiftly
It’s a rain storm today, it doesn’t matter where you’re sitting
It’s in every single city, and maybe now you’re just forgetting
You want more from her that hitting, getting feelings, and forgiving
(Bridge)
If I don’t wait it out, for the good thoughts
It’s only mistakes, and unhooked bras
Then it’s late at night, and you get the crook’s call
So disobedient, I’ve never been a good dog
(Drake Hook)
(Verse 3)
Who am I, to believe that all of this is true?
I’m the type of guy, to see a very different view
But maybe I’m just scared that I’m barely missing you
And if I’m in positions to, pull it from my hip and pull
I’ll probably be inaccurate, and then I’m just a shooting fool
I seem to meet them all in school, but never learn, what I should do
My pen and my pad, are the only things I’m talking to
So can I be your Walkman? Cool, or will I break a golden rule?
(Bridge)
If I don’t wait it out, for the good thoughts
It’s only mistakes, and unhooked bras
Then it’s late at night, and you get the crook’s call
So disobedient, I’ve never been a good dog
(Verse 3, cont'd)
Maybe I’m just rapping, hoping it is her I will include
Every memory that was, allows a memory that’s new
And if you will remember me,
Then I’ll never forget you
(Drake Hook)
(Outro Hook)
If I don’t wait it out, for the good thoughts
It’s only mistakes, and unhooked bras
Then it’s late at night, and you get the crook’s call
So disobedient, I’ve never been a good dog

About a Girl
02:51
|
|||
(Intro)
So I wrote a song about a girl
Does it hurt me?
So I wrote a song about a girl
I met her when she was 20,
Few weeks later she loved me
And I loved her, but times changed
So my black pen got used ink
Because writing makes me think
(Verse 1)
Is this the point where I move on, new girl?
Searching for Ms. Deschannel, and I made mistakes if you couldn’t tell
See my world, Changes, Sometimes I just fucked up,
Honestly, the fight snuck up
Next thing is what’s up love?
Will you get married in the church with me?
But I’m an atheist so it ain’t working, see
Maybe that was the start of problems
Step one, admit it, but this time can’t fix it
So little shit becomes big shit
I yell on the phone, I don’t need this
She’s mad about my priorities
I say fuck it, maybe I don’t care no more
She says she’s my minority
And I don’t know where I’m spending the majority
We text constant, have phone calls
But she’s always feeling alone, y’all
So we break up, and we both alone now (both alone now)
(Hook)
But i'm still scheming on low
Fucking on the low
Doing things you didn’t know
Cuz we ain’t talked in like two weeks,
Then its two months, and two years
I don’t know where the times goes
But I got the memories, so
So I wrote a song about a girl
So I wrote a song about a girl
(Verse 2)
But fuck it, we just back to rap
And this next verse gonna be action packed
See girl, you finally came first
Right off the top of this album
You can say I changed for the worst
But we’ll see what’s the outcome
I say I don’t doubt them
And I don’t care where you’re from
Cuz I know where I’ve been to
And this whole life got so dumb
So tell me what you into
We got difference we can’t get through
And another fight we get into
So I’m up all night, feeling in-se-cure
Spout out and say your friends a whore
I don’t think that I care no more
So I’m off the boat, back on the shore
Finding a new maiden voyage
Mean time you get avoided
So it seems you’re annoyed again
I just slipped, Freudian
My one wish is that you find joy, my friend
(Bridge)
Til then, Tell me what I’m worth
Tell me what I’m worth
Since it’s over, yeah it’s over, I know what I’m worth
(Hook)
But I’m still scheming on low
Fucking on the low
Doing things you don’t know
Cuz we ain’t talked in like two weeks,
Then its two months, and two years
I don’t know where the times goes
But I got the memories, so
So I wrote a song about a girl
So I wrote a song about a girl

(Intro - Kanye West)
Think he was gonna wild out, and do something crazy (do something crazy)
(Verse 1)
Did you think I was done? Well not yet
I’m always in this battle, for respect
So don’t, leave yet, let me know your secret
Let me rhyme for one time, one line, I’m fine
That’s why, I fly, half pipe, last bite,
That’s right, goodnight, Should I invite
Suge Knight, It’s alright kids
If you ever listen to a vision, that I’m spitting
The systems living, and assistants need distance
Persistence, what a reason
To be breathing, freezing, like Morgan Freeman
The allures increasing, with Lorde and The Weekend
I’m sure you’re speaking, in a different tongue than you see me eating
Time to go off and just beat these demons
How I roll off the tongue it’s the free speech season
Emcees can’t believe it when they see me squeezing
So many lyrics, don’t know if you hear it
How my spirit, veered, and feared, you wouldn’t revere it
Maybe in time, I’ll just rhyme for the feel of it
But that first verse, I didn’t rehearse
I just had to spit some words, it’ November the 3rd
Talk bout your work, it’s figurative, for the birds
And I figured you’d heard
Once again, I return, call me Mr. Absurd
(Hook)
And this supposed to be the part where the credits roll (2x)
You better let it go, The only life I know
This is Life: The Show
(Verse 2)
You could time this, for like five minutes
Well the song would have ended by now, oh I get it
I don’t know if you really do
I want to say thank you, for the ones who were there from the get go
Of this rap game, when Chris said to Bryce,
(Mecca)
I got a cd, it’s pretty fucking nice
You should give a listen, if you really like
A kid on a mission, to just up and write
(T.D.)
We drive a couple miles, and just kinda vibe
I say this kid’s alright, but Matt contacts him
And that action, actually, changed my whole fucking life
Thank you mom for this gift to write
Thank you dad for the stories at night
Thank you Chris for rapping like this
Thank you Sliz for all this shit, that we been through
If it was just me, wouldn’t even of made it an inch or two
Now I’m here, and I’m in positions to
Put my name in lights, and get famous twice
So this is what my life be like
So have we seen the highest heights?
Because I start fly, in the 315
Lost a girl, but I shouldn’t cry
been avoiding her, to try to sleep at night
So let the credits roll, but ain’t no end in sight
(Hook)

(Intro)
Waiting for a reason,
Doesn’t know she’s leaving
Doesn’t know the demons,
Got her running screaming
Until that train stops
But we couldn’t watch
(Verse 1)
So I only have hope that our future is better
Let me begin with the start of this letter
Dear cheerleader, the captain, and a dreamer
and reasons occurred, that made you, want to feel more
Emotions in this life, made oceans, not suffice
My hope is that you write, a song that could ignite
A fire in my soul, but my night’s still so cold
And my mic might of froze, but this life I have chosen
It batters my bones
I’m just a castle of stones, with a capsule of prose
And masterful poems, Feel so alone, but I need you to know
That I’m screaming at demons, that appear in my soul
(Hook)
Maybe I’m nervous again
It seems that I’m scared and I don’t have a friend
Where were you then, and where are you now
Please hold me close, no, don’t let me down
Are you fighting demons, don’t let them win
Sorry about all the times that I sinned
I keep worrying, that I’ll just be a sequel, I’ll join you as a twin
This time it’s the end
(Verse 2)
Never knew my worries got so big
Never knew you would not believe
Never even thought I’d see
Something that would help me, be me
And I can’t seem to be
Calm in the proceeding,
Lost for a couple years it seems
She’s gone, but I’m healing
Feeling, I’m freeing, my mind, but I’m seeking
Some love from a being, that’s not quite revealing
I don’t know if you ever knew me, but hopefully
I reach somebody, who’s going through something
On the level of what you decided, was enough
So now you’re dead, and I scream, What the fuck
(Hook)
Maybe I’m nervous again
It seems that I’m scared and I don’t have a friend
Where were you then, and where are you now
Please hold me close, no, don’t let me down
Are you fighting demons, don’t let them win
Sorry about all the times that I sinned
I keeping worrying, that I’ll just be a sequel, I’ll join you as a twin
This time it’s the end
(Verse 3)
Sorry there was another one, coming from a veteran
Of a war in my own mind, that I fight all the damn time
Write all these damn rhymes, about someone who I barely knew
But if you cared enough, then you probably would so
Seems I keep writing with a knife, stories of life
That are gory, and the more we, can’t seem to afford these
Deplored and ignored dreams, that once seemed promising
And the problem is I’m missing, that girl I forgot
How I could not, walk on the surface of 1,000 burning suns
And not burn up, it seems that all we need is love
But she’s still dead in the ground,
And nobody’s up above
So I rap this song once again,
Please never give up
(Hook)
Maybe I’m nervous again
It seems that I’m scared and I don’t have a friend
Where were you then, and where are you now
Please hold me close, no, don’t let me down
Are you fighting demons, don’t let them win
Sorry about all the times that I sinned
I keeping worrying, that I’ll just be a sequel, I’ll join you as a twin
This time it’s the end
