[x3]
It's only a dream
[Verse 1]
I know that gobbled as a child, and got her own
Still he got to bless me too, I been struggling too long
Tryna keep my head up in this hateful world
Always been mama's soldier, never daddy's little girl
I did some fucked up shit, in the name of the game
Before we even call it that, still it's all the same
Shed, blood, sweat, and tears over the years I been scarred
Trace the tracks of my tears, they will show you who I are
Still I, stand strong wit the militant mind
Not no ice cold bitch, that's to easy to find
Try and maintain my mental, as a peaceful place
Still I be ready to die, till I see my mother's face
Got to unlace the rage that I feel
Constant struggle and madness, ain't got to claim to keep it real
True queen, considered twinkle in my eyes
The glide in my step, I bless the world before I die
And tries I might, ain't a damn thang I can do
Just got to hold on until I make it threw
Until I make it threw...
[x3]
It's only a dream
[Chorus]
I been dreamin, for so long
What's the meaning, meaning all my life
I been dreamin, for so long
Mama help me, help me make it right
[Verse 2]
It's long nights I shake, my body starve from anger
Hopin lady luck will hear my wish's
Instead of treatin me like a stranger
And Mr.Death plucks my people one by one
It's a cold world, and i'm one of the last suns
Forever shinin, even when the skys grey
Will I eternally suffer, mama tell me it will be okay
Chains at my window, I just wanna be free
I'm not scared to die, but why must my people bleed
I gotta get somethin it's my destiny
To all wives up in heaven, I say blessin me
Less I be the next fallen angel, tangled in the web
Givin a fuck about nothin, better off dead
But I don't wanna be ill, don't wanna be a woman token
So I rock mics, and spread love just keep hopin
Knowin these rainy days, they can't last forever
Tellin myself,"young world things will only get better"
[x3]
It's only a dream
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I get the feelin like i'm all surronded
Wit no way up out the jungle, guess I got to rule and ground me
Drown me in my sorrow's, that should never manifest
Let my??? forever from the deepest depth's
Man, I got the cuts for luck and the scars for freedom
Let the angel's come and get me, I'ma set it off when I see em
This life is such a dirty game
Mama never told me it would be so hard to maintain
So I make the purist devil faceable
The walls up out my mind,and so hard and laceable
Only by sorrow things, I wanna rule the planet
Travel to the ends for mine, like a bandit
Hand it to me, my visions ready to implement
Made it this for, hope bloody bodie's ain't my present
I'ma keep shinin,I got to make it happend
Find my place in the sun where me and my folks can keep laughin
[x3]
It's only a dream
La,la,la,la,la

[Planet Asia]
West Coast.....
That's what we bout to talk about
[Mystic]
We talkin bout the West Coast
[Planet Asia]
They don't really understand what's crackin right now
It's a new brig, goin into this new millenium
You know what i'm sayin?how we do it
[Verse 1: Mystic]
Let's talk about Californ-i-a
If you ever came to visit wonder why you didn't stay
We got them, 'Wide Open Spaces" like them Dixie Chicks
Enough soldier's in the hood to really start some (shit)
It's where the sun always sets and the beauty never seases
Their's a war goin on, but it's more wit the police
It's were the pace is slow, it's somethin like in the south
When out of towner's try to rush they just runnin they're mouths
I love the hot days and the old school cars
White tee's and baggy jeans and barbeque's in the park
If you ain't rest here, then you would never understand
(You's a dedicated Queen)best believe that I am
I put up billboards butt-naked from the waist up
Which yo hands over each breast throwin the west up
And underneath, the capture would say, "don't you wish you were here?"
West Coast yay, yay
[Chorus: Mystic]
Cause everywhere I go
And everything I see
Makes me believe
Their's nothing like the West Coast
(Were you from?)
West Coast
And everything I do, the way I move
Is just because
I'm from the West Coast, West Coast
[Verse 2: Planet Asia]
Out west we rock stains and cuts
Coup's, and Regal's, 64's and Cadillac trucks
And we still sportin Guess?that's how we do it out West
Red or blue rags mutual brother's be still goin federal
You better know we pop collar's and chop game
Were mary jane's is the color of the incredible hulk
Summertime we top drop fresh out the chops shops
Out of control staright ballin baggy shorts no socks
Owin the block cell phones roamin the lot
We can ball in the in yacht, i'm talkin bout home of the rocks
Rockin a sporty spliff, we bumpin 40&The; Click
Too $hort, Dr.Dre or some George Clinton
Don't get it twisted cause you can even ask Mystic
(the bay got the best weed)and L.A. got the bitches
Tricks, mac's, hustla's, snitches, hoodrat killaz, drug dealer's&thug; nigga's
Were we at?
[Chorus]
Cause everywhere we go
And everything we see
Makes us believe
Their's nothing like the West Coast, West Coast
And everything we do, the way we move
Is just because were from the West Coast, West Coast
[Verse 3: Planet Asia & Mystic]
[Planet Asia]
It ain't nuttin like the CA
Sunshine, women, water, and sand trees and the West Coast relay's
Straight from the North were paper chasin is art
Where they blast for cash and walk live
As a true and livin gangsta's
[Mystic]
Gangsta's O.G.'s the game is so fluid
Got us swaggin the steps like, "only we can do it"
True it, ain't no other golden state
We can't relate we heavyweights who demonstrate
[Planet Asia]
Let's be a soldier in the land of homocides and murder
Liqour store robberies and fast learners
And corrupt cops on the mission to bust off shots
Blue or flame dub you might just catch a hot one at the bus stop
[Mystic]
Yo Asia baby, we set the record staright
From thugs to fallen angel's, we elevate
And I know one day my soul will go to rest
Just put my ashes in the dirt in the west
[Chorus x2]
[Planet Asia Overlapping Mystic]
West Coast, Oakland, Fresno, Los Angeles
San Diego, you know what i'm sayin?
Seattle, Vancouver, West Coast
You know what i'm sayin?
Light green, old schools, pop ya collar
We don't sport curls no mo'
[Laughter]
We don't sport curls no mo'
[Mystic]
Yo spontaneous, spear more music, West Coast, West Coast
BIOTCH!
Come on, it's like da-da-da
Come on, it's like da-da-da
Come on, it's like da-da-da, yeah
[Mystic]
This is for beautiful days manifested on the block
Where the cops sit and watch with they hands on the glock
This is for solemn prayers, that uplift the soul
And protect all people from the blisterin cold
This is for soldiers and survivors, hustlers and the 9-to-5ers
Those who know the sting of being raised without a father
For those who know the beauty, that grows from pain
Who knows the burn of hot tea is a cleansin thang
This is for those who feed they baby with a welfare check
But know the ASCAP is no help, don't mean to go and respect
This is for yo' life and mine - reminders, we shine
Supplement the nurishment to help you ease ya mind
Cuz the life is trife, the life could might
Break you down before you see the light
So suckle with the soul, you were born to see tomorrow
If you breakin from the way here's a peice that you can borrow
From now until the end we're soul controllers of our life
For all my people everywhere just know I love you right...
[Chorus]
It's the life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life, the life, the life, yo' life
My life - our life - it's just the life
[Kam]
A waste speakin to my pain, stress, and strife, nigga save ya breath
Cuz out here, the way of life is the way of death
Left without the Knowledge of Self, we can't escape from walkin dead
(Hello?) So all we know is yellow tape, chalk, and lead
And talkin heads, so busy stalkin bread we can't see
The wool over our eyes and realize we ain't free
My people is destroyed for the lack of knowledge
But not the kind you find at public school or some cracker college
Let's turn back the mileage (Reveal this mystery)
Of how we been deprived by his-story of our glorious history
That's why my sisters be hoein and my brothers be killin
Not knowin where they from or goin, just rollin with no feelin
Gang bangin, stealin, doin dope, and dealin
So we gon' getchu open singing, bringin hope and healin
Now all these negative things, we gotta rise above
This is The Life, otherwise known as The Love
[Chorus]
It's the life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life, the life, the life, yo' life
My life - our life - it's just the life
The life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life, the life, the life, my life
Yo' life - our life - it's just the life
[Talib Kweli]
You could lose ya life cuz you started out winnin (Uhh)
Swimmin with a million sperm in the human race
where the end is the beginnin (Uhh)
Religion'll have you believin you born into sinnin
But if you know God like you know yo'self, who is they kiddin? (Word)
Throwin salt in the game of life, you name ya price
From the time ya head soft to the brain, till you walk with a cane
My advice is to know ya worth, everyday go to work
Hold up ya people till ya shoulders hurt,
or they put you in the dirt, word
Rollin earth goin through Heaven and Hell
Livin for the brother not fel' and the others livin dead in the cell
For the love, the Bloods, the Crips, who yell and cuss
Shit is buff, take a club to the thugs who sellin drugs
Suckin life out the ghetto the night is run by the metal
The sun settle and get black, like when the pot caught the kettle
And the freaks come out on the corners, play ya position
From the kitchen to the pimpin we on a mission steady livin
It's life
[Chorus]
It's the life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life, the life, the life, yo' life
My life - our life - it's just the life
The life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life, the life, the life, my life
Yo' life - our life - it's just the life

[Intro:]
Greetings, yo, it's mystic and this song is for everybody who ever lost anybody
To a violent death - the streets, drugs, domestic violence
Who's gone through the process of the pain, the anger, and then the peace
And unfortunately, you can't ever take all the pain away but sometimes you can get
Further then you thought for real believe me, this is for all the fallen angels
[Verse 1:]
When your body hit the concrete, I couldn't help but scream
Blood fowing fluid, life is but a dream
'Til a bullet takes your last breath, where the angel slept
You were received comfortably and the heavens wept
Man you threw me for a loop, had me questioning exitstance
Like why I'm still living and do angels give kisses?
'Cause sometimes in the middle of the night
I can feel you by my side saying let's ride
So I hug myself a little stronger, bring the pain closer
Get mad at the world then once again regain composure
Closure, can't seem to find that these days
Seems like everywhere I look, another soldier's laid
My love you looked so peaceful wanted to give you two breaths
Pump five times on your chest to break the silence that you left
Instead I paid respects, caressed your cold face
Whispered you know I'll always love you with amazing grace
[Chorus:]
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all the soldiers die?
I wanna know, I got to know
Fallen angels in the sky
Why must all the soldiers die?
I wanna know, I got to know
[Verse 2:]
Sometimes you visit in my dreams, I wake up in a sweat
Trying to, catch my breath, clutching on my breast
Best believe your're not forgotten, those sweet memories
Gem of a G, guess those busters couldn't see
Lord please forgive them for they know not what they take
Raised the stakes, twisted fate tell me who gonna take the weight
Patiently meditate, I sense your aura in my presence
Killed so savagely, still there's beauty in your essence
(I can feel you) you weren't the last, just the first in a succession
Of the many fallen angels I have known, confession
The pain never goes away, it only lessens
The questions never stop, just learn to live in the present
Resilient I got to be so the next breath don't break me
At peace within myself, so no regrets if they should take me
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
I say prayers for you no matter what the denomination
When I step into a house of god, there's no hesitation
Drop softly to my knees under the flickers from the candles
Try to get a handle, then I speak to you
My love, I hope you're doing fine
Just another day around the way and you were on my mind
Take a moment to relax, gradually fade to black
Give thanks and praises, and then I step back
And softly, I sway silently
Listen, I can hear you say goodbye to me
And it makes me smile, close my eyes and picture you
Pacified for the moment when I'm that close to you
True indeed, I wish you never left
Still you remain in my cypher, it's all in the breath
[Chorus x2]
[vibes: spoken]
Being a women is fulfilling all the things
your mother was too busy raising you, to complete
Being a women is taking all the pain and anguish you've ever felt
and translating it into beauty
Being a women is knowing when you're broken and
finding the tools to put yourself back together again
Being a women is remembering to love yourself
[Mystic]
Forget a long introduction here to check ya'll for a moment
As of now, you are officially my non opponent
That position you got you like it huh (keep it)
Seen the garden that you got and I would never wanna reap it
And the house you built that's some real pretty glass
And your image is alright but I can still see your mask
And folks is askin is my life complicated cuz' it took so long
To get this wax created but ya'll know
I just been payin' my dues
Feet on the ground, head in the clouds a bit confused
As to when 'n how the house built fell down
Why ya'll more about the money than the texture and sound
But astoundingly everything's 360
It was all about you but now the true heads with me
So, go on ya'll keep playin the role
Cuz when the heavens made me they broke the mold
[DJ Revolution Scratches Various Samples]
[Mystic]
Yo boo, what's your budget, did you top a mill?
Give up half your pub, that's a fucked up deal
And it's almost funny but not really
Shoulda studied the biz 'stead a tryin' to be pretty
And them cat's who write your rhymes give 'em my respect
It's damn near a crime that doe changes credits and edits
Monthly mags and reviews
they did a good job couldn't miss 'em pimpin you
And them song you on how much you say you see?
I might get 1% of that and still flow for free
But, I’m a goddess with a true school foundation
You got a bowl of poison tryin feed the nation
I feel your hesitation on relatin' to me
If you skippin' this track you not hatin' on me
You just havin' a moment where my world's to bright
but you supposed to do that it's only right
[DJ Revolution Scratches Various Samples]
[Mystic]
Current events, current things current swings
Only a few emcees really got that thing
You know, God given, not man created
Make you smile out loud 'cuz the beauties so naked
And that's demonstrated in everything I do
The company I keep (who you with?) Du
But back to you, ain't even got no malice
Hope you find the missing pieces to your childhood palace
Personally I think you dyin' inside
Cuz we all born dreamin' with the truth in our eyes
But you, misplaced it the sickness i taste it
Should walk you through the gallows so you future you could face it
Understand I just call 'em how I see 'em
I’m into real facts with real logic and reason
And beyond a single shadow of a doubt
I’m just better than you and now the word is out
[Verse 1]
When I met you boy you was the sweetest thing
Like a Sade tape in the coldest spring
When I saw your eyes I thought they shined for me
Just being in your space was divine me
Gave you true smiles and a lot more time
Then them ballin cats who fiend to be mine
But really love you wasn't even fuckable
The way you were made you highly untouchable
Peeped you though every move you made
Studied from a distance watched the games you played
And some would say I shoulda never came closer
But I ain't never had the taste for the phrase not supposed ta
So I chose imagine that
Put a plan into play to make it public fact
That I'm the one and you shoulda knew
That them other girls have never loved you like I do
[Chorus]
For you I'd dive into a treacherous sea
Bring you Neptune's jewels to keep you happy
I would fly into a merciless sun steal you the sky
Cuz you're the one
[Verse 2]
Mighta took some time but most good things do
Manifest when the time is true
I admit I was nervous cuz things get changed
Something about my lifestyle makes love so strange
So many angles and tangled components
Everybody wanna touch just for the moment
But you put a new hue in my blue
Added a perspective to my concrete views
'Bout tossin caution into the breeze
Followin' emotion like streams to the seas
Top priority believe you me
Like love how you feel, you alright, whatchu need?
It's more than your lips on the nap of my necks
Or your hands on my breast, with your leg on my thigh
Or the look in your eyes as you slide inside
It's the way you make me wanna live instead of die
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
The funniest part is that I've never claimed you
Yet and still when I talk to God I name you
Even got you own song look, you a star
No need to call names you know who you are
I'd give you everything be the mother of your seeds
Keep the world at bay if you need time to breath
Be the chest to rest on when things a bit to much
These offers they stand so no need to rush
You young black and gifted whole life aheada you
I love for that would never try to tame you
So I remain dedicated in the wings
Inspired by your laugh to wait for things
I just hope you aware of what you actually got
A true woman make my man want for not
So when you here this song know I'm speakin to you
This is a b-girl ballad, for true
Um...I know I don't know you or nothin but can you just bump my shit?
[Verse 1]
You was just a young girl when you got turned out
Sneakin out the window of ya mother's house, no doubt
Just to mash off in a drop-top Impalla
Under shinin stars wit the nigga who clockin dollar's
You was thinkin you was really gon run game
Wait two weeks to give it up and feel no pain
Babygirl, you picked the wrong balla
He was raised by mack's and pimps, model let him follow
Niggas break bitches in the streets of the "O"
You was thinkin you was different cause he told you so
Just knowin you in love, would'nt listen to a thing
It's followed by the danger's that this thug life brings
He gave you clothes and rings, moved you out the crib
Put his dough up in yo closet, taught you how to live
But when 5-0 raided, he wasn't no where around
Now you doin hard time, rockin a felony crown
[Chorus]
Girlfriend sistagirl, you a precious queen
In a twisted world
Lookin for love, in all the wrong places
Givin up things that can't be replaced
Girlfriend sistagirl, you are the mother of the world
He'll break you down, he'll make you cry
You were born to sing, and you were made to fly
[Verse 2]
Manifested on this earth as a heavenly angel
Found the blocks you own, make life dark and tangled
Small sacrifices, repented in church
Halfway down the block, rollin up ya skirt
Hide some of these factor's off by glass and baggy's
As the one you always wanted, roll by and floss caddy's
You never gave a damn bout rules and regulations
Hard livin mixed wit swoll eyes, and??????
So a way out, that's all you ever wanted
So while the whole hood judged, you fucked and flaunted
It hurt you every time, made you scream
And silence of ghetto blocks, fled yo dreams
Still, I know you prayed every night
Whisperin to god for a new life
But the light was too bright, in a far off distance
Fingerpainted with ya tears and destroyed false listens
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Aye you ma?You from a regular home
Live at least ten blocks from a drug zone
Got green grass, and shady tree's
No need to ask why, smile and say please
Got ya daddy's car, and ya mother's indictions
Rather give up ass to thugs and argue in the kitchen
Break out, in a mad bash for freedom
Hang yo world up and try to keep breathin
You see them on the outside, quote in the interior
So when the guns blast you can see clearer
In the mirror, it's dream past shatter
You makin love to the streets like ya life don't matter
Still you cry, challenge suicide
Let ya hair fly on the 6-95
Ready to crash, for the love of the game
Believe it on the next life, it's all the same
[Verse 1]
You will always be an angel in my eyes
Blues and grays you been by my side
When my worlds crashing and pains intense
You calm my soul with perfect sense
Bring me back to earth, show me gems
Thank you for being my friend
[Chorus]
Forever and a day
You will be my everything
Forever and a day
You're my divine, the reason that I shine
[Verse 2]
You always believed in my dreams
Even when we were kids and our job was just to live
Anytime of day wiped my tears away
You protected me laughed my fears away
There's no one (no one) in this world
Who could ever take your place?
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
We've been through joy and pain
Taken different paths still the loves the same
Your light shines all over me
Help me keep prospective, I know it ain't easy
You should know (you should know) I'd die for you
Call my name and I'll find you
Feels better if I tell em my story
Yo, on November 24th, 1999
I was in L.A., and I was in the kitchen cookin
And I got this page right
And uh, I called back and I was informed that
My father had passed away from a herion overdose
About two hour's earlier
So this song is for him, and to him
And for all the fatherless children in the world
The mother's who raised us, the people who love us
[Verse 1]
It's a Monday, finally found the perfect beat
To speak my peace on how I came to be
The way I was raised, how I was born
Why I smile so sad, and have the eyes of a storm
Moms from Virginia, you from Rhode Island
Met up in the state where the sun's always smilin
Minds connected, physicals exchanged
Y'all both believin that the world can be changed
Time passed to 1973, and you begged my mom to create me
First she said no but she loved you too much
1974 had a child to touch
We was into other things, that ripped life scenes
Liqour, drugs, other women, destroyin dreams
But you know how women be, she tried to hold on
For the sake of your love and the beautiful bond
[Chorus]
I'ma fatherless child, it's all I ever been
It's all I ever be, since your gone from me
Still I hope you know, that I can never unlove you, love you
[Verse 2]
1974 was a year things changed
Too much alcholol makes people violent and strange
You broke the window's with a baseball bat
As my mother cried inside with me on her lap
The dream destroyed, it was time to leave
She didn't take much, just a few things of lovin me
That was the birth of this fatherless child
And a struggling mother with the world in her eyes
She did it though, put herself in college
Raisin me wit grace, givin me the knowledge
And pops you, you never came by
Never sent money never called to say hi
I use to lie to the other kids, on the block
Say I knew where you was at so the questions would stop
I fronted to my friends that you didn't mean much
But I use to cry alone, and lone for your touch
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Ninth grade I thought you were dead
Call my mom about a paper, and that's what you said
I was angry and confused, all because of you
Wanted to ask you why, and just say fuck you(fuck you!)
But the feelings passed, what was my options?
Studyin my face tryna find what was lost and
I decided that you didn't mean shit
That I was really worth lovin and you lossed a gift
Before that, I grew breast and things
Got raped in the bathroom, and the question sings
What it have, could it have, should it have
Been different if I had yo hand to grab?
Would I be easier to love, not so torn inside
If you would've beat that man, and stood by my side?
Would I write sad songs, and call pain daily?
How different would I be if you had raised me?
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
1997, you called my home
From Telegraph&43, for the child you never owned
I told you come by, Adam came to help me
You were homeless and drunk, but not lookin uhealthly
We sat for hour's, I asked you every question
We sang on my porch and discussed life lession's
And I loved you, like you had always been they're
You said you'd never leave again, so I released my fears
1999, tryna to sign my deal
Ten years of hard work, finally becomin real
So I brush you off, writin songs for a movie
That was the last time I saw you, forgive me truly
The day my deal was done, you died
Wit the needle in your arm, and angels by your side
And I miss you, tattooed it on my back
Fatherless child, fade to black
thug niggas
drug dealers
y'all so caught in the game
you scared of love
what's that??
I was thinkin
you the one for me
I was hopin
you would set me free
how silly am I
how silly I am
you're not an angel
you're just a man
but I
I understand
you make me cry
and I smile when I can
this evil game
such a shame
lately
its all the same
you say it hurts too much to want me
thats what you say
it hurts to keep me
that's what you say
hurts too much to hold me
that's what you say
but if it hurts so bad to love me
tell me why you stay...
why..
I say I say
tell me why
I say I say
tell me why
why I'm lookin
deep into your eyes
I see perfection
I cant say goodbye
how strong is our love
this world is so cold
you sometimes act
like my tears ain't worth yo gold..
every time you leave
it hurts inside
still I let you go free
this twisted game
such a shame
lately its all the same
You say it hurts too much to want me
thats what you say
it hurts to keep me
that's what you say
hurts too much to hold me
that's what you say
but if it hurts so bad to love me
tell me why you stay...
why..
I say I say

I never ment to fall in love with you
You lived a life and played the game of fool
You promised me that you would never leave
now baby look at what ur doin to me..
You say.. you say.. you say..
I say .. I say .. I say..
You say .. I say.. you say..
You say it hurts too much to want me

I love I love I love I love you baby..
I love I love I love I love you baby..
Come on, come on
Yeah
Feel good don't it?
[Verse 1]
This is for warm days and drift away
While the sun sets and the ghetto's play
Long nights on a hot summer's block
When you sip yo brew, and never touch yo glock
This is for eyes, that cry like yours and mine
To smile again, rise above the pain
This is for you and your crew, the ones that's true
Will always love you, no matter what you do
[Chorus]
Cause it's the life, the life, the life
The life, the life
It's the life, the life, the life, life
It's the life, the life, the life, yo life, yo life
It's the life, your life, my life
[Verse 2]
This is for soldier's who bust they guns(bust, bust)
In the name of freedom not the game of fun
True Queens, who raise they kids
Implement the knowledge, show em how to live
This is for those who stand in line and feed their babie's(i know)
While were runnin out of time
This is for the unjustice behind bars
Our lovers, our leader's, our people(our people)
[Chorus]
[Mystic Rhyming]
Don't let em miss, miss guide you
They'll have you actin like the sun don't shine
And the sky ain't never blue
But you know and I know it's all about survival
This struggle of our people is like that unraveled
The poloticans they was never in control (never)
It's deeper then that a true battle for the soul
What they want is to bring us to our knees
So my people guard yo life by any means
[Verse 3]
This is for those who know we all gon die
Set up that way by infinite powers
Those who know the feel of chains
And the belly of the beast and of mental strain
This is for those who have they're own fallen angels
Tryna find a way on
This is for everybody (everybody)
And everybody is so life
[Chorus]
Yo, you gotta keep smilin
No matter what
Cause this is the life
What you gon do bout that, huh?
[Verse 1]
I ain't wanna be your woman, ain't wanna be ya girl
I ain't wanna be your savior, ain't wanna be your world
Just wanna chill maybe spend some time wit you
Wit no strings attached, is that alright boo?
You could do what you do, and I keep how I swing
We can link up on the under make the heaven's sing
But you, got to promise that you won't get too deep
The heart's already takin but the lovin still sweet
Embrace ya wit the facts and wipe away ya pain
If only for the moment in my candy rain
Don't complain about the time we don't spend
If anybody ask say you just a friend
No pretendin, no need to run game
We'll keep it on the up and up, they're won't be no pains
So, think about it let me know how you feel
You either with or you not, let me know the deal
[Chorus x2]
Do you wanna, ride wit me
Do you wanna be, down wit me
Do you wanna, roll wit me
Maybe once a week
[Verse 2]
Couldn't nothin be mo' eas-y
Then this proposition here, believe me
What's this?, you seem slighty hesitant
But the body never lies and it's evidence
That you want me, I see you watchin my hips
A senstual bad boy, what you think gon slip in
Maybe get possieve, maybe pull out your clip
Try and, put me in check cause you addicted to these lips
Why think such, that's tommorow not today
I dissapear like dust if you ask me to stay
Come and play wit me, relax ya self on the rug, come lay wit me
Treat you like Don, long as you mind the rules
Might go on forever if you keep it cool
So come on love,(why you actin so shy?)
Tell me what you want the night is slippin by
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3]
I lay it all on the line, cause I don't like pressure
You decide, it makes it more on the lesser
I ain't tryna sweat ya, I just dig how you vibe
The way you play it back, but still keep it live
See I,I, i'm tryna to make it happen
I'm all about my biz can't have no man steady askin
"Where I been, "for what, and with whom
Why I ain't call, and will I be home soon"
Use to be all about love me back
Till I learned about the game and had to subtract
Distractions and drama they ain't fittin my plans
So you could be my lover, but could never be my man
That's why we could hook maybe once a week
Take a ride threw the town, and take a walk on the beach
It's so breezy, the way it could go down
Here's my number, page me, i'll hit you back if i'm around
Before the rainbow comes a shower,
A tunnel with a flicker of light.
And as my mind grows older,
That light don't shine so bright.
I'm feelin' lost in my ways,
And I can't see shit through the smoke haze in the
rays.
The situations change,
But the goals never change, the goals stay the same.
I met my maker and he told me right there,
Things haven't changed around here I hear.
It's time for the castle in the air.
How can the one to bring me up be the one to be brought
down,
I'm the loudest one to cry but scared to make a sound.
Strong one in the family so the brave face says,
Tomorrow is a new day, just like yesterday.
Walk past the memories holdin' my chain,
The one with the ring on it that my mum gave me.
On the verge of turning 16,
In my heart you'll be,
In my heart you'll be.
Day to day life, it's a drama,
Tears held back by mascara.
You were my coat of armour,
You were my coat of armour.
Day to day life, it's a drama,
Tears held back by mascara.
You were my coat of armour,
You were my coat of armour.
Worlds flipped the bombs tick tickity ticked,
The bomb hits blowing every fucking feeling to bits.
Fuck this i'll just sit and reminisce,
Of the days when, you told me this.
Never let anyone or anything come between you and your
music darlin'.
Them words I won't ever get 'em twisted,
You lived a life of legacy and proved your existence.
We got friends that are like family,
So why do we need all the fake meet and greet.
Of the, family members. That are only here to chatter,
Only here for gossip never helping with the matter.
The ones that matter are the ones in memories,
The ones in the pictures, the ones in the dreams.
The ones that have been there throughout all our lives,
Smile, realize & wipe the tears from your eyes.
Day to day life, it's a drama,
Tears held back by mascara.
You were my coat of armour,
You're still my coat of armour.
Day to day life, it's a drama,
Tears held back by mascara.
You were my coat of armour,
