(Chorus) You know, The way they say that it goes, When it's over your head, and It's under your nose. You know, The way they say that it goes, So here I go again, Again, I'm dong the most. (Verse) So how's it going? How ya been? I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about you Now and then. Like I had finally found a friend, Then it's torn apart, But we were born To be more to ours. On cruise control in our motor cars, Confusing soul With the hole Of the broken heart. Sippin' beers While we smoke cigarettes, and It's clear, We don't know who we are yet. Getting played like guitar frets, More harm than good, It's supposed to be harmless. Like we just fuck and fuss and fight, I've had enough of us, Plius we kept the neighbors up tonight. Back to normal in the morning, Some coffee and tea, Nothing wrong with being boring. Or, maybe just to me... But what's the point in being Sort of sorry for ya? Poor thing... (Chorus) You know, The way they say that it goes, When it's over your head, and It's under your nose. You know, The way they say that it goes, So here I go again, Again, I'm doing the most. [x2]

(Intro) La da da di da... Hey.... (Verse) With the tendency to be wild, Awe inspiring, Until it's cenial. Each one, teach one, It's easy like the freestyle. Look into my eyes, You could be what you see now. Like, what you think you know? You'll be reading what I bleed From the ink I wrote. Sink or float, I am good what I am in. On the television set, No room for some stand ins. Like it was random as fuck, Couple of wins, yeah... I like my tandems in dubs. Like it's the anthem for the amp up, Just a couple Stans Getting stranded in a fan club. Candid to can do not, Start the story all over, With a brand new plot. Question you asked... The answer you got. Like they had went above the law, So I cancelled cops, Say... (Chorus) Fuck the 5-0, and Their corporate endorsement. Coming from Ohio, Aiming straight at that horse shit. While they fall for distraction, I'll be right here, Makin' makin' shit happen. Say, Fuck the 5-0., and Their corporate endorsement. Coming from Ohio, Aiming straight at that horse shit. While they fall for distraction, I'll be right here, Makin' makin' shit happen. (Verse 2: Rob Sonic) 5-0, 12 Step up to your chest plate, Not a lot of options, Rocking Rob in your nest egg. Just made sergeant, Marking mops me a membrane, Parking lot pressure Better not be your friend's name. End game tied up, Dried from the summer heat, Throw away billy club Until he wants another sleep. Touching me, pudding pop, You couldn't spot a puddle's piece, Speaking from experience With periods of troubled teens. Fuck you mean no drugs, and Still you're gonna check the car? Pat me down from wonder walls To sommeralls and benetars, and When I clean you wash me up, and Lobby for them lemon bars, and Send me to detention Where they prep you for the pepperidge farm, When on Mars the martians Goin' do exactly how they please, Your badge is just an address To the gasses in the out of reach, and Now you see the mountains, As you're gallop for the gallery, Your superman is soupy, and The salad is your salary. (Chorus) Fuck the 5-0, and Their corporate endorsement. Coming from your city, Aiming straight at that horse shit. While they fall for distraction, I'll be right here, Makin' makin' shit hapeen. Fuck the 5-0, and Their corporate endorsement. Coming from the dirt, Aiming straight at that core shit. While they fall for distraction, I'll be right here, Makin' makin' shit happen... (Outro)

(Verse 1) Pulling closer as I force away, You're the four leaf clover, I'm living for today. One of a kind, Like I feel like the breeds rare, Then I'm backed into a corner, Now I'm feeling like I need air. Like everything is fine, Knowing what it brings, It isn't bringing any peace of mind. I see the time, Then I'm feeling like I have to go, Wasn't here much, In the disposition it had to show. Like tell me how you really feel, Feels like it's a bow and arrow, Pointing at achilles heal. Like you've discovered the weakness, and I don't mean to hover, But did you think that you could be this? Like not at all, never. Never was for me, It was for all of y'alls pleasure, Like, are you not entertained? You can feel the passion burning, Hotter, hotter than the ember's flames... (Chorus) Like did you feel like it was worth it? Watched you paint the picture, Did you paint the picture perfect? Like it was not all a game, But it was nothing but the net In the shot calling hall of fame. [x2] (Verse 2) Like it was back to the beginning, Blessed by the best, It just acts like it was sinning like... And then they asked if they were twinning, but It look like it was bases loaded, Going into extra innings. Like it was finicky most times, Never with that gimmick, You just blinks and then goes closed blinds. Like they were running through the path, Fun to do the math Until they run into the clothes line. Smells like bull shit, But went nose blind. It's like you're rising in the east, and Getting no shine. Like he was digging through the catacombs, Feeling bad to the bone, Going for the gold mine... (Chorus) Like did you feel like it was worth it? Watched you paint the picture, Did you paint the picture perfect? Like it was not all a game, But it was nothing but the net In the shot calling hall of fame. [x2]

From a definite yes to hard no, Or just a soft maybe On seeing you tomorrow. Just sick of sitting here Drinking 'till the bars closed. You might not get it, But this isn't precious cargo. Like you borrowed nothing, Like you ain't owed shit, What you aren't thoughs buzzing like... You ain't even know it, But the only thing that's on the mind is, You gotta keep going like... Like I've always got the right of way, Feels like a surf board About to ride a tidal wave. Out in public and I might behave, But that doesn't always mean I want to hear what you'd like to say. Like it just feels like the perfect storm, Like its about to precisertate, and Then let hell freeze over, Then I go and strap up, and I jump on the ice and skate. (Chorus) On the way there I day dream, In the park, and It's funny how it may seem. I let it linger when the finger snaps, and It's getting sort of silly for ya When the singer raps. [x2} (Cuts/Bridge) (Verse 2) Like there isn't any else to do, Just get essentials Observe the self, and I'm telling you.. That pieces of me broke inside, But it's only gonna go and coincide With Elmer's Glue. Like I have to have a chuckle, laugh. Feel like a kid again, Rubber ducky's and bubble baths. Went from tortured to the joy, Like the happiness a choice, Then your boy went and doubled that. Like what I'm putting on, I'm bankin', Like who I'm talking to I'm thanking. Like you were moving through the rankings, and I'm feeling kind of blue, To the stu, Out in Franklin... On the bench by the pond, Ask myself a question, Then I let the heart respond. Like everything is everything, and That's just how it's goin' be, That's the shit I'm on, Say... (Chorus) On the way there, I day dream. In the park, and It's funny how it may seem. I let it linger when the finger snaps, and It's getting sort of silly for ya When the singer raps. [x2]

(Verse 1) Not a day goes by, Where we don't intersect, Yeah, you cross my mind. Now could you be so kind? To take me as I am or to leave behind. Say, I was distant when I'm social. I try to listen when you're vocal, But we must have missed the focal point. Whiskey and a beer, "Cheers!" At our favorite local joint. Like it was drinks on the patio, Light a smoke for ya, Be the mama to my daddio. Wild life like Nat Geo, Better than the Gen Pop, Laughin' at people like... Yeah, we feel when the dawn cracks, Bull shit? We were on that. Like we were fighting on the front lines, Went from cordial to mortal kombat. So... (Chorus) Sorry you couldn't make it, Better off without you, Don't care about how ya take it like... To sleep without you is a drag, But not I'm wide awake with sage advice like, hey... I'll be in my bag. [x2] (Verse 2) I remember who we were but, Who we'd become? Well that shit is for the birds. Like it was taking up our room to grow, Prepping for a doomsday, Instead of grooming human souls. Ah, feels like the Truman Show,. I'm kind of gloomy, 'Til I'm feeling like a blooming rose. Like it was part of the yes, no's, pros, cons, and Most of all, all the do's and don'ts. That's just how life is, Above/beyond, To someone else it just suffices. Like it's the trash and the treasure, and Of course I loved you, It just didn't last forever. Say, what is one to do? Fun until wasn't, We're the sun and the moon. Like we were duelling our duality, Taking you to school Until you make a fool out of me, So... (Chorus) Sorry you couldn't make it. Better off without you, Don't care about how you take it. To sleep without you is a drag, But now I'm wide awake with sage advice, like... I'll be in my bag. [x2]

(Verse 1) You wanted to say That you had knew it came to, The time to find the time To make the debut. I sit back and watch As it's a beautiful view, But you hate to see the way They debate indisputable truths. Now, where did you go? Where have you been? They try to get the rise, Get under the skin, It ain't been simple since original sin, But the kid ain't sympin' for ya Anymore, Learned the outs and the ins... (Chorus) Naive melodies, They're telling me no. The black market, Where they're selling their souls. Room for elbows, and The bell when it tolls, It's just the dead stare, head shake, It's a hell to the now. [x2} (Verse 2) The beautiful view, I can't believe my eyes. Now with myself, I can be besides... It wasn't darling, It was out of control, But it's just the forces of the nature, It's the way that it goes. Now, who are you? And how have you been? They start it over and, Now it begins. They felt it melt Like it's a punch in the face, But I've always had a hunch, suspicion, This must be the place. Say... (Chorus) Naive melodies, They tell me they know. The black market, Where they're selling their souls. Room for elbows, and The bell when it tolls, But it's just the dead stare, head shake, It's a hell to the no....

(Verse) Like we just should have seen it coming. Always thought of us as ones That'd be so cunning... But clearly I was wrong, Appears to be easy here, Hear me in this song, listen... Like we were minding our own biz, Only want for nothing, We were fine with how it is. We were young, dumb, and stupid, A little bit redundant, Thought you were the one, and I was keeping that one hundred. It was us, yeah, And we were up against that world. Up against ourselves, It's just enough to make me hurl, Let me paint you a picture, Let me paint you a mural, She's the only one that knows Just how to make my toes curl, and These pictures were in motion, But until we roll credits Most of y'all just won't get it, or... Well, probably you will, I'm just sick and need that medic, Because the situations too ill... (Chorus) The same, It ain't the same as before, Ain't the same, It's not a game, this is war. It ain't the same as the after, So I'm the one you find Between the pain and laughter. The same, It ain't the same as before, It's not a game, this is war. It ain't the same as the after, and I'm the one you find Between the pain and the laughter. ](Verse 2: Illogic) Me running this was never meant cause insolence, Though straddling fence is now en vogue. Paper machete perception applying to the diagram, Every play is a lesson as a quiet stroll On this dying globe. The inflammation of information is two fold, For betterment or detriment, Depending on usage, rate, and ultimate goal, My intake inflates The demolition of demographic ingrates, Who lack the passion to embrace mistakes As their fuel to grow, The keys to success Aren't presented with a tidy bow. Performing autopsies on past endeavors To find the sweet spot of balance Between progress and perfection. Hoping to synchronize the vibe Of each passing session, Allowing the space to improvise, Under the guise of keep it real, We fail to keep it workin', and Analyze if the sacrifice is worth it. (Chorus) It ain't the same, It ain't same as before, Ain't the same, It's not a game, This is war. It ain't the same as the after, But I'm the one you find Between the pain and the laughter; [x2]

(Verse) Like here we go, The plot thickens. Ready or not, yeah, That shit is hot chicken. Like, it's barbecued and rotisseried, Goes round and round and round again, With no mystery. Like is it me? Could never not be, Served with some lemon, some honey, Yeah, it served at home So we can heal together. Had to separate and break, Just to make us feel better. Yeah, it's even keeled When we peel out. Goes bananas, and It feels like it's real now. Like we just look up and we see clouds, In the atmosphere here Is really what we be about. Like there we were in the midst of this, Still chasing what's deserved, and, It's offer that you can't resist, Like someone's got the nerve. Can't put to words, But it's verbs, nouns... Still, fuck what you heard. and I can go for it on fourth, It's Hail Mary to the first down. (Outro)

(Verse 1: Ian St. Rich) It's not about the distance it's the journey, Get you a pot to piss in, What's living without the learning, It's just different routes converging, Simple or difficult, and It's all in how you work it. 'Cause nobody's perfect, beloved. Fuck what your worth is, Heard the word is no one can judge it, Just like my verses, It's nothing but love, No versus. So it's closed curtains for that fuck shit, Show's almost over, The functions been fun, But the road is always open, So I'm rolling round sound system bumpin', Downtown Broad to Franklin, Like thank God this is somethin', Ian St. and Senseless robbed a bank, This is buckets. Bron James with the Dunk in their face how I'm comin' all day, Why wait? I never table a discussion, Small fries stick to plates Like the weight of onion, I'll be frank, I'm on the bread Like ketchup (catch up), Get you some strength mustered (mustard). (Chorus) As we grow into the infinite, From internal to the ex, No way to know until you're into it, and Then it's on to the next. Then there is what there is, Then there is what we expect. I say, both are at your finger tips,. Don't let them come at your neck. (Verse 2: Senseless) Welcome to the oasis, With no map, Just a promise to go places. Like, with a target destination home, Moving so beautifully, This route is my favorite poem. Like you could learn me on this journey, and I could try to do the same. While the goal is to earn keep, We try to soothe each other's pain. Hard to believe we can't recognize, Who is who, I'm just glad I got to knew your name. 'Cause we were joined at the hip, and I'm happy to take the chance With the coin we had flipped, say... Like, what is it without risk, huh? Meet me halfway in defeating social stigma. Like what you wanted is the nuance, Gathered close with knuckles, But just to fist bump... (Chorus) As we grow into the infinite, From internal to the ex. No way to know until you're into it, and Then it's on to the next. Then there is what there is, Then there's what we expect. I say, both are at your finger tips, Don't let them come at your neck.

(Chorus - N. Dennison) In the kitchen on a Sunday morning, Cooking breakfast with the window open, Birds chirpin' and the sunlights shining, And the only thing that's missing is you. But the room is bigger now, I think I finally got it figured out, I can still enjoy the tastes and sounds, and The things that we used to do. And I'll be good, Yeah, I'll be great, All I got is time, And it's a brand new day. (Verse 1 - Senseless) Like I was all about the feng shui, Been missing you like you were church on a Sunday. Like you could go ahead and sue me though, Felt like you had played the game, You were in the Super Bowl. But I was fine without commercials, Don't know what it is, Running round in circles... Went from predator to prey, Like this is what my letter to the editor Would say... How's it going? How dare you? Feel it in the air, where? Me, I'll be there soon. Next to you, no matter what. Never was the on deck, Never was the batter up. Had enough? Not even close. Keep it even Steven, He's believing that he's seeing ghosts. Like, we were scared as hell. Felt that this is the end though, Very well... (Chorus - N. Dennison) In the kitchen on a Sunday morning, Cooking breakfast with the window open, Birds chirpin' and the sunlights shining, And the only thing that's missing is you. But the room is bigger now, I think I finally got it figured out, I can still enjoy the tastes and sounds, and The things that we used to do. And I'll be good, Yeah, I'll be great, All I got is time, And it's a brand new day. (Verse 2 - Nova) My shit is fire like Earth, Wind, The boy stay blessed, I ain't write it in cursive. Conceive a new style, like I birthed it, The tip of the iceberg, Submerged in the surface, It gets deep! My cup never empty, Just see that my verses, Electricity to my circuit, Negativity, you reverse it, Then sell to the merchants, Yo, (what is it?) it's the resurgence. She twist to fit the mold that I was in, Spread seeds like bees to the summer wind (bzzz), All arithmetic, What a difference, the sum of it, Although I never fall, Autumn, winter, yo to summer spin. My love deep as oceans Started from the beach, Now we coastin' Like tigers on the street. Noah on the beat, Novie on the verbal hide and seek, Keep the peace, Flowing is just knowing when to speak, Yo... (Chorus - N. Dennison) In the kitchen on a Sunday morning, Cooking breakfast with the window open, Birds chirpin' and the sunlights shining, And the only thing that's missing is you. But the room is bigger now, I think I finally got it figured out, I can still enjoy the tastes and sounds, and The things that we used to do. And I'll be good, Yeah, I'll be great, All I got is time, And it's a brand new day. (Verse - Ian St. Rich) Easy like a Sunday morning, Sunny or storming, I'm always on the one way, More a runway when I'm on it, Through rainy days, Blue as the lady's bonnet, On the butter, Smooth's what I do to be honest. Boo, huddle in. Looks like you could some lovin' and cuddlin', Type of warmth that comes from within, Been a hard winter, But at heart it's been summer since, The thick and thin begun, So you're the Snicker when I'm hungry, The elixir for the sickness, The quick fix when I'm bummed, and She's the glass slipper, and After I slid the cushion underneath. Her soul food what I owe it to, Like what I breathe. Hosted a show like Roku, You don't know what you'll see! Just going through the motions, Not an option. Way she flows, You gotta row your boat To stop from floating out to see. Looking innocent, Till I cop a plea to cop a feel, She pulled my card Before I got a deal, With nothing up her sleeve. (Chorus - N. Dennison) In the kitchen on a Sunday morning, Cooking breakfast with the window open, Birds chirpin' and the sunlights shining, And the only thing that's missing is you. But the room is bigger now, I think I finally got it figured out, I can still enjoy the tastes and sounds, and The things that we used to do. And I'll be good, Yeah, I'll be great, All I got is time, And it's a brand new day.

(Verse 1) Like you were too cowardly to face, Not unlikely on the mic for him power chase. Turned to wine from the sour grapes, Be about 30, Then I'm running bout an hour late. No, like it was now or never. Then they come pound for pound, Just an ounce is measure. Like, it's a whole long story, and I'd tell you all about it, But I just don't want to bore me. You're me, vice versa. Say that's on site, Then that might might hurt ya. Like we were preferred by inertia, Move one with the Earth, Heard it's the birth of... The spark to reality, Really went from flawless to a fallacy, In the palace eating salads, greens, and Staying in the O still, Even with them Cali dreams... (Chorus) Like right here we stand firm. No moving with delusions of grandeur. Like I'm getting out my own way, Oh no, the goings getting tough? Oh you don't say... [x2] - Cuts - (Verse 2) Like home is where the heart is, Behold the beauty, It's the eye of the artist. Like who keeps the busy bee? Feeling so alive Like the hive is the city's scene. While we pollinate to rock stage, The venue is one the menu, It's a whole lot of hot plates. With enough to go round, and Then we find ourselves In proximity to the shockwave. While we waive the white flag, Surrender to the self, Not what's selling on a price tag. Like such is the life hack, Fighting for your life, There's no knife in the back though. Like everything is fine, cool. Sees reflections, and It's like I'm you. Like couldn't be nobody else, I just want to help you Help yourself, times two... (Chorus) Like right here we stand firm, Keep it moving with delusions of grandeur? Nah. Like I'm getting out my own way. Oh no, the goings getting tough, Oh you don't say... [x2]
