VERSE 1 “Oh he's so nice”... I always hear you say “He's sweet and kind... But I... don't think of him that way” I'm so your type... Your parents like me too The perfect guy... But not good enough for you VERSE 2 You only call.... when you need a hand Or you need to talk... bout how there's no good men I've heard it all...before... but I still stay on the line One day I'll press... ignore... til then, I'll be that guy PC And I'll wait...for the day... I can change... your mind And I'll waste... all my time CHORUS Stuck inside your friendzone. There's nowhere else I can go I can tell you wish I wouldn't try. I can read between your vague replies Stuck inside your friendzone. I guess that I've always known I wonder if it's worse to say goodbye. I'd rather be alone than live a lie Stuck inside your friendzone VERSE 3 I keep it cool... inside... and hide the way I feel I know the rules... but I'm... not sure I like the deal I try to show... my best... and let you figure out But I won't hold... my breath... For you to come around RAP I get it, you don't mind the distance You don't like decisions, but I know that I've captured your interest, What is it? We different? Let's get to specifics Am I too big to get into twisted positions? I'm kiddin, but I'm not... I'm smitten by the thought Of you and I, do or die, thickening the plot Of this fairy tale ending, so gimme what you got Don't build me up buttercup, don't break my heart.

VERSE 1 I gots the velvet vocals smokin on the hookah Talking to my Audio Technica bout the future Wonder if I'm ever gonna (ticky) turn the table And get up and on that horse and ride a rhyme right out the stable I feel like Vonnegut, when envisioning tomorrow But like Dali, melting clocks, I know my time is only borrowed Never wallow in the sorrow, cause my pain is what I've made it I'm reaching for the stars, so I expect to stretch for greatness Debating every thought like “is it worthy” no it's not So I'll waste another night of thinking, drinking till I drop Wake up in the spot, prompt at 12 oclock Record another rapper, selling dreams already bought Stress won't ever stop, cause it's the poison that I'm sippin' Misfortune is the chorus in a song I haven't written Distortions kind of fitting, it echoes when I'm singin' Crying out like wah-wah, for a life I'm never livin' CHORUS Say, oh!, this is not the way that it was supposed to go. What am I missing? I say, oh!, this is not the way that I thought, that I would know. What are these visions? VERSE 2 This music is a nuisance, but a therapeutic function I bump it cause I love it, I bump it cause I love Dammit, I'm redundant, but at least I love the subject Props to all the puppet's living life like their above it I'm just not strong enough to settle down, sorta chill Plant my seed, feel the heat, absorb it in like chlorophyll I'm less than confident, I'm captain obvious I bob my head a bit whenever my subconscious spits I keep my heart on the same sleeve that I wipe snot I keep my toes inside the holes of these white socks And every seat is like a gamble that it might break So I sit gently trying not to make this earth quake I rocks that fuzzy double-vision goin cross-eyed When I walks in, target on sight My words are fumba-mumbalin', got me tongue-tied Fuck it, I'm goin in, kamakazi, bonzai BRIDGE Across the distance, pure ambition takes a hold of me It only seems to thrive when I'm asleep Apparitions, visions of what I'm supposed to be Only visit in my dreams

VERSE 1 Say Boy.... dontcha front, put em up Standing all tough won't get anything you want from me I'm undefeated in the game Say Boy... I just wanna play rough, land punch after punch, so ya better step it up to me Baby there's pleasure in the pain PC I won't hesitate to take you down I'mma deliver a head blow, one like you never had before If you think you can handle me now Just relax, and brace yourself, be prepared to be knocked out CHORUS TKO.... Ah, ah, ah – I'm gonna drop ya Down but I dont need twelve rounds TKO.... Ah, ah, ah – I'm gonna pop ya One touch gonna turn you out TKO.... Whatcha plan of attack, Can't talk tough with your back to the mat TKO.... Ah, ah, ah – I'm gonna knock ya TKO, I'mma knock you out VERSE 2 Say Boy.... Gloves up, dip and duck Mistake move, no u aint quick enough to spar Baby I'll tear your world apart Say Boy.... Try your best, better luck Left, Right, Jab, Cross, Hook, Uppercut so hard Baby I'll leave you seeing stars RAP Imma put you down like Frazier. Down goes Frazier Delivering combinations you weren't anticipating My moves 'll knock you into a coma And the only way you'll be awakened is by my body's aroma See I'm not just talking thrills, baby I'm the real deal Stop the fight when I bite you, Evander Holyfield And you know that I can handle myself I'll knock you down and lay you out like nobody else Yo, did I hear you moan, let me get you some help I know you like the way I do it, please take off your belt

VERSE 1 I'm feelin super duper dandy, Sorta like my dick feels, when I get a handy Sittin on the sand beach, sippin on a shandy Life aint really all that bad with a plan B I'mma bang a Brandi, lookin like a Joe Dirt Walkin round Walmart, barely ever sober Body of black bear, Braid ya man's back hair Belly hangin over, yellin “Doh”, like Homer Bet you diggin all these mental images They show up like Jehovah’s witnesses, in your villages Every now and then, they gonna creep into your Christmases No luck, no fucks were given in these instances So what, if my girl's made of rubber, I blow her up, tough, and she's a freak under covers, She aint the jealous type, she don't mind me pokin others and even when she squeaks, I still love her. CHORUS I'mma go fast, I'mma go hard, I'mma do whatever I may I'mma break bad, I'mma go strong, flexing like bulls on parade Aint no more missin, wishin. I'll be livin, like I might just die that way When I go, they'll all say, not a single fuck was given that day VERSE 2 Im... out of my mind, but I'm also out of medicine To keep myself from stripping down to britches out at Bennigans Stealin mozzerella sticks, Threatening the residents And flippin off the cameras gettin panoramic evidence My adrenaline will fly me off to neverland But then again, I wonder if I'm better off, irrelevant you think I'd be embarrassed, but my form is so the rarest Like Captain America after that arrogant experiment. Play me like a clarinet, I'll trample you like elephants Choke you like a spoonful of cinnamon, get it in Shut you down, call it quits, quicker than the government And like the government, when your running, you just aint functioning I'll bite ya face boi, high on bath salts Lookin like the zombie apocalypse, when I'm mad dog Run like frogger on the highway, in sandals Yellin, “ugh”, like Rick Ross

VERSE 1 You don't even know / Whatcha do to me. With the lights down low / It's like we're singing in harmony Now you're in control / So you take the lead Up and away we go / across the galaxy CHORUS Fly - Fly - Fly me to the moon. Nothing in this world that I'd rather do Fly - Fly - Fly me to the moon. Take a trip for two. Just me and you VERSE 2 I can feel your heart, as it starts to race And the slightest touch, keeps me floating, no gravity I won't slow you down / I won't hesitate Aint nowhere to go, let's get lost in space BREAKDOWN Baby I can treat you better (treat you better) We can fly when we're together (we can fly) No matter the time or weather (time or weather) I'll keep you up high forever (2x) (Baby can you fly-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah me to the moon) (in the background) BRIDGE Hey Houston, we got no problems, No worries, Hakuna Matata Me and my chick on that rocket ship, Bout to blast off quick to that lunar environment … I could make you chase, But I can't wait, I want a taste I'm light years ahead of you, lookin for a better view Baby you incredible, lost in space

VERSE 1 ...Tic Toc... no Kesha. Hands on the clock they apply all the pressure Gave you some time to decide about whether or not you'd be all mine forever, and ever Whatever, I stupidly used to think I had a clue Thought I knew the way to make it worth the wait to get to you Got no response every time I tried to play it cool So now I'm rollin through with razor blades and lemon juice I'll smother you... with love... like a puppy You're barking hard, but you'll be my cuddle buddy All summer boo... I'm your shadow like it's sunny Imma mold you up like putty, till the day you say you love me No Alejandro, but I make this lady gaga Got her singing high notes, like Phantom of the Opera Says I'm the devil, but don't ever wear prada I'mma bad boy, notorious, she calls me BIG Poppa PRE-CHORUS Lightly put, I see you think it's bizarre The better moments in life usually are I bet you never thought I'd take it this far But I can't let you go CHORUS Girl you got me heart-cuffed, chained up to a hot love Baby would you take this spell off of me now Girl you got me heart-cuffed, now you're gonna feel what It's like to not escape it, there's no way out VERSE 2 Overly focused on emotions, I'm so infatuated I'm hopelessly devoted to this notion I've created The closer that we're growin, the further I'mma take it I'm locking you for days in the basement, embrace it, Like a chain-linked bracelet, we're connected, never broken Purely amazing, like that number nine potion Got passionate persuasion, I'm guessing that I'm hoping that one day you'll wanna take it to the open...I'm joking I'm pokin fun, never meant to be this selfish But your heart is what I want, even if it's someone else's Straddling the line between persistent and obsessive I guess I'm just jealous when the dust all settles But the lust won't let up, I can't let you go I'm holding onto history, just like Pluto We been through so much, you're calling it pseudo But you know, I'mma get through though BRIDGE (Melody from “Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats) Walk away if you want to... You can leave my heart behind But the keys to the cuffs, To escape from my clutch, Are lost inside my mind You can yell if you want to... You can scream, but you may find That the vocal booth in the sound proof stu makes it hard to hear you cry OUTRO (Melody from “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga) I might have made some mistakes But you'll be happy one day It's for your own good ,baby No you'll never escape I didn't want it this way To keep you locked in a cage I got you heart-cuffed... ALT OUTRO (Melody from “All Right Now” by FREE) You're all mine now, baby you're all mine now (2x)

VERSE 1 Disdain is setting in, angers unsettling traded a benevolent mind for my rebellion wish I could sell my soul, outta the hell im in so if the devil comes a knockin imma let him in I'm out my element, crippled by the thought of fear No point in fighting it, dont nobody get outta here So while you huffed and puffed and traveling the atmosphere I'll be at your doorstep, standing rather cavalier …And this is just a thought, If getting to the top means pulling all the stops Well I prob'ly shoulda been there a long time ago Instead I'm stuck waiting on this train of gold ...And this is just a thought, If getting what I want means giving all I got Well I prob'ly shoulda had it all a long time ago Instead I'm stuck waitin on this train of gold, ya know. CHORUS I've given up everything along the path Resting my dreams along these broken tracks And I won't come back VERSE 2 Relentless is the quality, they keep describing me But honestly, it's kind of an oddity of a rivalry Like I'm too stupid to quit, when failure follows me Gotta be I'm too used to it, so it don't bother me It don't break me down, doesn't seem to motivate Numb to the temporary love, and everlasting hate Emotionally there is no way to humiliate Whatever other image I create and then perpetuate …And this is just a thought, I'll never get a shot if I'm never on the clock Well I prob'ly shoulda set it off a long time ago Instead I'm stuck waiting on this train of gold ...And this is just a thought, I'll never get props here shepherding the flock Well I prob'ly shoulda let em fall a like a domino Instead I'm stuck waitin on this train of gold, ya know. BRIDGE Under microscope, viewing broken slides Toss the dice, flip a coin, heads or tails, win or lose, quarters or dimes OUTRO And I won't let go, Once I grab a hold of this train of gold
8.
VERSE 1 I.. sacrificed... all my time, I tried, yeah I tried You said... I ought to be a fool to go, I'm the one that you call home, But you lie, yeah you lie CHORUS I'm the one who gave it all for love. But giving everything just aint enough I don't wanna hold back these feelings inside, and say I'm alright Taking all this pain and all this hurt, I can't stand to feel this anymore ...so much for love. VERSE 2 I... thought that you could be the one All along, I believed in you and me But then, you gave up on everything And all that we could've been, Tell me why, tell me why BRIDGE I don't wanna spend another night Cause all you ever do is make me cry There's nothing you can say to change my mind Things aint ever gonna be alright And now that I can see the light in front of me I have the strength to go OUTRO I cried, I cried You lied, you lied You never even tried to try
9.
VERSE 1 She sits quiet, staring out her bedside Window to the outside world rather dead-eyed Unsure what happened, can't seem to get a handle Everyday's a challenge understanding that she can't go The nurses comfort her, tell her that it's okay She's still confused but excited for a new day Picks up a paint brush, and draws what she remembers However long, until her cognizance surrenders It's time for breakfast, drinking tea amongst her neighbors That she never met before, but she smiles at those strangers Strikes up conversation, it couldn't be more pleasant She formulates affection, but it's fleeting by the second Dignity diminishes with each sip, so she steps Back into her room to allow herself to reset Picks up the brush again and paints away the sadness As colors fade away on her canvas CHORUS These thoughts... can't find... She's lost... in her own mind... VERSE 2 Stares at pictures of her son, still sees him as a child Every Sunday he visits, but looks just like his father. She's still confused, he's contemplating leaving Doesn't have the heart to tell her that his daddy isn't breathing Her husband isn't coming, her house is on the market This disease will never soften, and it's only getting harder He's angry at a God that lets the evil come to conquer Then she grabs his hand perfectly repeating every Proverb He feels ashamed, and his face is her reflection The puzzle pieces scattered and there's no way to connect em Responses aren't the clearest, embarrassed by the questions She don't know the answers like a kid reviewing lessons In the classroom, as the teacher chooses her at random Her mind has gone phantom, body left abandoned What's a memory, when the photo won't develop She had it for a moment, then forgot she ever held it
10.
VERSE 1 You haven't been happy in a long, long time You haven't been saying what's on your mind You haven't been happy living in my dreams You haven't been feeling like you belong with me I guess it's time to let you breathe VERSE 2 Wish I would have told you how amazing you are Wish I could have showed you, you consume my heart Wish I would have noticed what you meant to me Wish I could just hold you, never set you free I guess it's time to let you breathe BRIDGE I'm staring at your pictures that cover these walls A shoebox full of letters of love look at me I can't believe it's over after so long (so long, so long) I guess it's time to let you... breathe OUTRO If you still don't love me... if you don't believe That we were perfect, that I'm not what you need I guess it's time to let you... breathe
11.
VERSE 1 Drivin off to work, one day, way back When I had a job, tryna make the cake stack 93 Taurus, grandma green With a star spray-painted on the hood, so mean, So Ill... I'm still rockin' the tape deck Got MJ's Thriller lodged in, no eject Button, the seat's wet, the windows won't close Freezin' my balls off, no, heat won't blow And why the hell with all this fresh air Does it smell so bad when I get in here? It's like a turd and a piss had a baby Stuck it in the back seat for me to smell daily It never fails me, no luck, I reckon' Cheatin' for a left turn, stalled up in an intersection Stuck my feet down through rusted holes Yabba Dabba Doo like Fred Flintstone CHORUS This is what I do when my car breaks down Write a hot lick to that Sliced Bred sound Spit a little taste on that beat right there Walkin' on the bass, I can't drive nowhere This is what I do when my whip won't go Chillin' in the basement, Sketch Studio Rip a little flow, write a couple hits Rhymes like “woah”, but my car aint shit VERSE 2 Guess a couple grand won't make it all better If car trouble's hip, then I'm a trend-setter Between belts and buckles, shoes and brakes This ride just collects dust and depreciates This is how it turns when your clutch burns Worst part yet, not even my first concern Brakes don't work, man, tires don't match Lost the remote, can't access the trunk hatch Gas cap sticks, man, windows leak rain AC smells like rodent remains Another day comes around and I'm still broke down Can't see straight, so upside down Nickeled and dimed, beaten down on the bottom line Robbed by repairs, how's this not a crime Used to have wheels, used to ride like a king Now, instead of four wheels, I trade it in for four strings
12.
VERSE 1 It's not exactly what I wanted from the start It's definitely not been a walk around the park And I don't know what's going on inside my h eart It's either broken in between, or bursting at the seams I guess I never really grew the way you planned I confess I never tried to understand And I guess we could both be a little damned To each other lost in dreams, of a life that we don't lead CHORUS If you are... The centerpiece of gravity Then why do you... Constantly attract to me If we are... The masterpiece of destiny Then why do we... Always have to fight for everything VERSE 2 I know it seems a little trying now and then I know you feel like you're exhausted once again And I can see that you're still trapped inside your head With another night of screams, yet another broken scene I guess we're both a bit addicted to the pain I guess my life without you wouldn't be the same I guess we all have vices and believe that it could change Like it's something we won't fiend, or whatever that must mean BREAKDOWN (ooh) you know that you my (boo) and im gone stay (true) we gon make it (through) you know that you my (boo) and im gone stay (true) we gon make it (through) cause I'm in love with (you)
13.
CHORUS I've been lost, I've been lost, in dreams of the fame Let me off, let me off, I don't need it no way I don't care for the taste, I can't bear what it takes Keep it all, keep it all, keep it all. VERSE Keep the riches, I've chased the paper formerly like I'm basing every lyric on potential royalties like if I make a catchy chorus sorta quarterly Keeps the sheep in check, so they normally supportin me Keep the bitches, or even more importantly any form of whoring, no performing for sororities they like a swarm of bees, storm the beach of Normandy subtle breeze, please, they morally distortin me Keep the schedule, the seven hour bus rides In and out of cities like a circus in the night time Peddling a cd, whichever one I supply Weeks by the months swallowed up in the high tide Keep the battle, the fight to go world-wide Everybody's carried on my back, but I take pride Making it, aint no can of corn, like a pop fly But I'll stay strong like I'm Popeye. BRIDGE I appreciate minutes you've been taking out to listen, but... I don't really need your love And I know the world we live in makes it hard to pay attention, but... I just feel I've had enough And I've found in this instant, that I'm not optimistic I'm a broken down cynic, in a hopeless existence I wonder if you're getting what I'm givin, huh? I'm afraid I've given up.
14.
VERSE 1 Know it's been a while, since we've seen each other I see that pretty smile, guiding me just like a rudder It's like a symphony's syncing up inside of me Gray-scale memories, finally I see in color. It's been a long time, since we last spoke Don't wanna ruin any moment with a bad joke But I can't wait, to get my head straight He who hesitates, you know how the saying goes It's been a journey, picking up the remnants But I don't worry, had some time to reminisce Dreaming of the when, and if I would see your face again Feelings I don't comprehend give me reason to exist I built the fortress, I'll break the walls down I'll be your knight in shining armor, should you fall down You like a princess, damsel in distress I'm here to save us, bring it back right now CHORUS So what could I do, I guess I was young Foolish and dumb enough to give you up If only I knew what I had in us I wouldn't have lost your love Now we have a chance to change Those years we missed to happiness Time to take a gamble babe But only if we start here with hello VERSE 2 Took a time out, from our time together But now I realize, no one else could know you better Than I know you, so let me show you How I've grown to be the one for now and ever No doubt I messed up, but I will own it Standing on the edge, between friend and opponent No more wishes, magic has diminished But we'll photo finish like a kodak moment Used to be blue, just like an avatar Living on the moon, somewhere up among the stars Felt trapped then I started to adapt, and captured a dragon, knowing I could take charge Plus I would like to explore more of You're world like a tour of pandora Up in 3D, grab it right in front of me Finally I see, it is you, I am sure of BRIDGE This aint no fairytale, maybe I'm tempting fate But we can have a happy ending if you want it babe, Let's start it over and, not make the same mistakes Only if you open up to hear me say... Hello...
15.
VERSE 1 Is there anybody breathing Or are we just set in stone So much time, so little reason To break through, into the unknown Is there anybody seeing The same day still going so wrong So much life, so little meaning To uncover what moves us along Chorus What if I, wasn't there, I may never know Maybe I, shouldn't care, I might lose control What if I, wasn't real, I may take the fall Maybe I, wouldn't feel, I may end it all VERSE 2 Am I lacking understanding Or am I right on the nose So many morals to the story But how it all ends, no one knows Heavy hearts so demanding Weighing down, beating slow All the pain keeps congesting My thoughts so depressing, I guess that's my life, I suppose
