Intro: About the way, bout the way that she talks to me About the way, bout the way that she says to me About the way, bout the way that she calls my name Always Verse 1 (Eff-One): It’s about your way, your style, your grace Regal demeanor but you cool in every place You respect me as a person and you give me my space Never poppin’ off on twitter, you say it right to my face Uh, and you believe in what I can be, and baby Ride or dyin’ just for me, it’s crazy But you trust and know what I could be Now no strings, we in-sync, it’s instinct, just don’t think Just, uhh, just ride with me Wait, you rocking with Sub-Urban so it’s fly with me Understand I will never leave you slighted You’ll never get dragged out of the picture like you fly United I’m your king, you’ll always be my queen People can reference Hov and Bey to see what I mean Or maybe I’m Martin and you’re Coretta Damn man, can’t nobody do it better Nah, can’t nobody do it better Nah, can’t nobody do it better Nah, can’t nobody do it better! It was all part of a bigger plan, with my verses I’m spitting in this song to help you fully understand that... Chorus: And I’ll be there with the sun to warm you up And I’ll be there with the moon to guide your night And I’ll be there with the breeze to lift you up When you’re not alright Verse 2: And on a real tip, your friends fake Can’t even go a week without some drama they create They keep talking shit about me All they do is doubt me But guess what? They don’t even know the half about me! They don’t know about my grind Don’t know the pressure almost burst the pipes before it ever built a diamond I’m standing on the summit, knowing I can’t plummet And guess what? You really wanna climb with me? So far, we never had to climb this steep Riding on the steam of our hopes and our dreams Don’t let the talk of the haters be the split in the seams Never quiet long enough to know what silence really means That’s how it works, we fly like a kite Harnessing my love to fight hoping I always do what’s right I will give my life or my heart for my fam But I want you to come first so I put that ring on your hand I put that ring on your hand Baby, I put that ring on your hand Just to signify a connection that normal people in this fake, materialistic world can’t understand Chorus: And I’ll be there with the sun to warm you up And I’ll be there with the moon to guide your night And I’ll be there with the breeze to lift you up When you’re not alright Guitar Solo Chorus (2x): And I’ll be there with the sun to warm you up And I’ll be there with the moon to guide your night And I’ll be there with the breeze to lift you up When you’re not alright

Chorus: Said I’m on my way back home, I don’t know where I’ve been Or if I’m going again. Said I’m on my way back home, I don’t know where I’ve been Or if I’m going again. Verse 1: Excuse me sir, excuse me excuse me I spent so long to find her only somewhere to lose me And I tried to heed the signs but they only confused me And now I’m lost in the darkness just struggling to see It seems that all I’ve done is run after the past and sacrifice what we could be I sacrificed myself for what you thought I should be But neither of us foresaw just what would be That’s not how I planned it, feel as though I was damned It seems the girl of my dreams ran schemes behind the scenes Just to leave me in a damn pit You Spartan kicked me quickly Yo girl, you did me filthy Our empire couldn’t get higher, yeah you tried to guilt me In a feeble attempt to mask how wrong you did me Now I’m in panic mode, oh no there I go With this too heavy a load down this long road Just tryin to find my way back home y’all Chorus: Said I’m on my way back home, I don’t know where I’ve been Or if I’m going again. Said I’m on my way back home, I don’t know where I’ve been Or if I’m going again. Verse 2: Yeah, Verse 2 ‘cause I just don’t know who to turn to I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned through I think the last number I had was a hundred Now I’m going way past 100 on a highway getting blunted With a honey, thinkin back on it like who was me? Who was I before the fame and the awards? And all the adoration galore, but I think I lost myself What am I doing it for? I lost my way, I lost my way I’m takin way too many pain killers, got my mind in a daze And if I don’t have em I’m in a rage But I’m so messed up, can’t read the words on my page. I’m on the long road to ruin, I’m feelin like Bobby Orr, yeah playin for the Bruins So if to the victors goes the spoils I’d rather have the crown, call me royal Chorus: Said I’m on my way back home, I don’t know where I’ve been Or if I’m going again. Said I’m on my way back home, I don’t know where I’ve been Or if I’m going again. Bridge: Baby, can’t you see that I’m just straight out spinning out? You got me losing all my mind! And if I don’t have you to help me through this craziness that I’ve been through I don’t know what I’ll find! Chorus: Said I’m on my way back home, I don’t know where I’ve been Or if I’m going again. Said I’m on my way back home, I don’t know where I’ve been Or if I’m going again.

Far Away 02:43
Verse 1: Her name was Sally, oh she hurt so badly And dreamed that she’d get far away And though I never met her, I cannot forget her I see her in my dreams every day And all I know is I can’t be without you in my head And every time I close my eyes and lay alone in my bed Is when we Chorus: We go far, far away, far away Just you and me We go far, far away, far away Just you and me Verse 2: Her name was Jessie, oh it was depressing To see her throw her life away And though she never said it, oh she did regret it To not let go and be okay And all I know is she can’t be without you in her head And every time she closed her eyes and laid alone in her bed Is when we Chorus: We go far, far away, far away Just you and me We go far, far away, far away Just you and me We go far, far away, far away Just you and me We go far, far away, far away Just you and me Breakdown Verse 3: Her name was Betty, oh she kept forgetting The time to live her life was today And though she never did it, she would have an image Of what life was like if she’d drift astray And all I know is she can’t leave Without letting go of the pain And if she could, I know she would, Get up and make a change And go away Chorus: We go far, far away, far away Just you and me We go far, far away, far away Just you and me We go far, far away, far away Just you and me We go far, far away, far away Just you and me Breakdown

Fall Apart 04:06
Chorus: I never knew it’d fall apart I never meant to break your heart that way I never knew it’d fall apart I never meant to break your heart that way I never knew it’d fall apart I never meant to break your heart that way I never knew it’d fall apart I never meant to break your heart that way Verse 1: It all just fell apart, now I’m left with the pieces If someone told me this three months ago, I’d never believe it The love that we shared felt too damn strong, And now I’m here, just battered and beated, singing this song Communication turned to screamin and fightin from playful teasing Just sat there fuckin seething, just watchin as you were leavin Not with you gone, girl it’s so hard for me to keep believin To keep goin! You know why? ‘Cause you keep leaving And I didn’t know who I was or who were you and now we both screwed What the fuck are we gonna do? You keep telling me that I’m a failure; how? You loved me then so how the fuck could you hate me now And I hate myself ‘cause now there’s nothing left I thought we had that bass, but you just left that clef and now you’re gone And I’m just sitting here singin these sad songs, but come on No excuses, girl, you know you did me wrong. Chorus: I never knew it’d fall apart I never meant to break your heart that way I never knew it’d fall apart I never meant to break your heart that way I never knew it’d fall apart I never meant to break your heart that way I never knew it’d fall apart I never meant to break your heart that way Verse 2: I never knew the shit you’d pull, the wool over my eyes So when I found out I was more than surprised. It’s crazy how the devil will take up a disguise And come through and infiltrate and ruin your life. So now what happened, it was so exciting, igniting, And now I’m sitting her with my demons wrestling and fighting But they winning, they winning, I’m about to succumb to it Stranded, left abandoned, I feel the end, I’m running to it! And they say the lights at the end of the tunnel shine No they don’t! And I’m just sitting here fucking losing my mind Damn, the world is feeling so damn unkind And I thought at least at the end of the day you’d be mine But I guess not, in the lights of the stars you shine So I’m just sitting here like goddamn, I missed all the fuckin signs! And I really thought that I could rewind, but to this I resign I say I hope to find you again in time, but girl, I Build-up Chorus: Ey, never knew it’d fall apart Never meant to break your heart that way Never knew it’d fall apart Oh, never meant to break your heart that way Never knew it’d fall apart Oh, never meant to break your heart that way Never knew it’d fall apart Oh, never meant to break your heart that day, yeah!

Intro: Yeah, if you wanna fly If you wanna fly, yeah Verse 1: Oh to fly high above the trees, being in a plane to me is such a tease The calm of the clouds, the feel of the breeze, life from up here just seems at ease. And any location could be our destination No long travel or endless waiting. Down there, there’s hate, down there, there’s panic, And even though they try to explain, I’ll never understand it. So just keep your eyes fixed on the horizon Before you said  to land now you’re saying to fly on No slingshot, no strings, only thing you got is my shoulder Your doubt and hesitation weighing down like boulders Don’t worry, we gone get there, I told ya! So just keep your eyes shut and hold on ‘till it’s over So I spend every night with my eyes shut tight Praying that maybe one day I too could take flight Chorus: If you wanna fly with me, Keep an open mind, it’s key Open up your eyes and see If you wanna fly with me! Verse 2: One night, at my window sat a strange man I asked his name and he told me he was Peter Pan. He started telling me about this place called Neverland Where you never age, and every day is a blank page Everything is an adventure “Oh,”  he said, “I forgot to mention.” I know that you will come, and please, allow me to tell you why if you choose to come with me then i will teach you how to fly I was so fuckin’ excited, I wanted to cry But he disappeared and re-emerged out of the corner of my eye Handed me a contract and a pen Told me to read and to take my time And to sign on that dotted line I said naw, I ain’t trying to be famous I’d rather be with my fam making art, remaining nameless Because to me, this is the definition of flying What he was doing was selling dreams and just lying Chorus: If you wanna fly with me, Keep an open mind, it’s key Open up your eyes and see If you wanna fly with me! If you wanna fly with me! Guitar Solo Chorus: If you wanna fly with me, Keep an open mind, it’s key Open up your eyes and see If you wanna fly with me! If you wanna fly with me! If you wanna fly with me! If you wanna fly with me!

Chorus: Something just ain’t right by the look in your eye Everybody knows Something just ain’t right by the look in your eye Everybody knows Verse 1: I know you feel it like I do, That same feelin inside you. And I could never deny you A hand full of cards still undealt. You say everything’s alright But won’t look me in my eyes. Talk to me now, don’t lie! There’s damage still yet to be dealt. Chorus: Something just ain’t right by the look in your eye Everybody knows Something just ain’t right by the look in your eye Everybody knows Verse 2: We used to actually talk, But everything you say is about something you want. And I knew you’d be shocked To hear bout the way that I feel. I can’t trust what you’re sayin, I know you real well girl, why are playin? Open your heart and speak your mind, Before we end up out of time! Chorus: Something just ain’t right by the look in your eye Everybody knows Something just ain’t right by the look in your eye Everybody knows Verse 3: You say everything’s alright But then you just walk away! I’m hoping and praying big But you don’t want the same. I hope you know that I can’t go A day without Thinking about how we just can’t seem to Figure it out.

Spoken Word: Two shattered souls saunter down the street (ok) Both preoccupied with problems, their eyes don’t even meet (mhm). But little do they know both are facing similar problems, If they work together, they might not be able to solve them (yeah). But the they can find kinship in their similar struggle, But their attraction to their despair creates an unseen bubble (okay). You see, a lack of real communication defines our generation (true). Social media and the internet be the reason that it happened, y’all (that’s true). Too busy filming real life to be present while it’s actually happening y’all Man, and I’m just sitting here ‘cause ain’t nobody doin shit to solve it (yeah, you’re right!) ‘Cause you got too many people on welfare (yeah) and the elite wanna take away their Obamacare (fuck!) Those people from the part of town that you don’t go but know they’re living in hell there (keep going!) Where killing is so common that it ain’t even news (Tell the truth!) Oh, are these truths uncomfortable for you? It’s happening, that’s what should concern you! (Shit) But it’s evident that the truth doesn’t concern us Because if that was the case, wouldn’t no one listen to Fox News (Fuck ‘em), MSNBC, CNN Or none of that bullshit news you see on TV (Fuck ‘em!) But they still do regardless. And I’m just venting my mind through what defines me as an artist, this rap shit. (Keep going, we need it, alright?) I mean how couldn’t I when the instruments sound so sick? (The game needs it!) So I do what I gotta do, this flow is more poetry, out of pocket yet heartfelt so you know it’s me. (Eff-One!) And to us as a group, yo that’s where the props be owed (Damn right!) And that’s just something EVERYBODY KNOWS! Breakdown Chorus: You know you did, you know you did You know you did, you know you did You know you did, you know you did You know you did, do me right! You know you did, you know you did You know you did, you know you did You know you did, you know you did You know you did, do me right! Breakdown and Chorus again
