About the Way
04:00
|
|||
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

Way Back Home
03:29
|
|||
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!

If You Wanna Fly
04:22
|
|||
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!

Everybody Knows
02:21
|

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.

You Know You Did
02:40
|
|||
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
