And I can’t believe forever it seems to live out these dreams
When you start to think about taking a chance you can’t give a damn
Huh I’m a hopeless romantic fell in love with a simple idea with a little bit luck and a whole lotta work I can make everyone of these visions real
So we don’t care what the people say and we don’t care what they want to do and we don’t care about it anymore we do what we want I ain’t wasting a no more time its now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It’s now or never Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It’s now or never.
We don’t care what the people say and we don’t care what they want to do and we don’t care about it anymore we do what we want I ain’t wasting a no more time its now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never
It’s time to decide if its worth the fight or letting it slide
And I drew the line at wasting away or waiting to be saved
Yay y’all made my own luck in my head on straight and kicked up the dust
And the money well it don’t mean much I did it for the love and that was enough
The way I dreamed it ain’t the way it played out missed every road that looked to be the safe route. No directions I made my way out I don’t give a damn what they say no way now.
We don’t care what the people say and we don’t care what they want to do and we don’t care about it anymore we do what we want I ain’t wasting a no more time its now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now…. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It’s now or never Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It’s now or never.
We don’t care what the people say and we don’t care what they want to do and we don’t care about it anymore we do what we want I ain’t wasting a no more time its now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never.
I’m about to get mine mine mine Its about that time
We don’t care what the people say and we don’t care what they want to do and we don’t care about it anymore we do what we want I ain’t wasting a no more time its now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never I’m about to get mine It’s now or never.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It’s now or never Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It’s now or never.
[Intro:]
Never ever make a sound
Never ever make a sound
Never ever make a sound
[Verse 1: Outasight]
See, this is the part where I let it go
Never been one to ever-ever fuss and fight
The spotlight's on, now it's time for the show
Where everyone except me seems to be alright
Oh my-oh my future is in the hands of you
No lie-no lie, it seems to scare the shit out of me
The fact remains the truth's the toughest pill to swallow
Do you have something to drink that I can borrow?
[Hook:]
See you hear you, don't you let go, oh
Feel you don't quite get me, you never do
I only hear what I want to hear
So tell me something good now that I'm here
I said ten-four and over and out
Copy, I get what you're talking about
[Verse 2: Outasight]
See, this is the part where it let it go
Never ever been one to agree to disagree
Didn't sign up to watch from the front row
I thought the world revolved around me
Damn this dialogue get's so confusing
Not understanding, I feel like I'm losing hope
For every word that you scream or utter
Goes in one ear and out the other
Motherfucker won't fight for long, used to argue just to argue
See the odd truth that I liked it
Later on, I moved onto a different ensemble around truth
Hmmm, despite shit seeming like it never gon change
So far gone but really lack range
Not all the pitfalls come with fame
Being regular is hard enough, so pick a side, ala carte
Do you listen to them or do you do what you want?
I may be stubborn but unlike many others
I don't get offended when people act above us, I say fuck 'em
[Hook 2:]
See you hear you, don't you let go, oh
Feel you don't quite get me, you never do
I only hear what I want to hear
So tell me something good now that I'm here
I said ten-four and over and out
Copy, I get what you're talking about
I said ten-four and over and out
Copy, I get what you're talking about
Ten-four and over and out
Copy, I get what you're talking about
Ten-four and over and out
Copy, I get what you're talking about
See you hear you, don't you let go, oh
Feel you don't quite get me, you never do
I only hear what I want to hear
So tell me something good now that I'm here
I said ten-four and over and out
Copy, I get what you're talking about
[Outro:]
Never ever make a sound
Never ever make a sound
[Hook:]
I say I'm done, never again
I say we're lost, never can win
I say what can you do when you're twenty something and...
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Days feel the same when you get older
Feel the weight on your shoulders
I can't explain but I don't know what I want to do with my life
And all my friends miss being alive
All tied up in nine to fives, good bye
Get your degree, a nice piece of tree
And head right to the back of the line
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Bored as hell so I went out for a ride
Past by a bar with college kids outside, smoking cigarettes
Trying to make sense of the world and seem more mature
Stopped myself as I rolled up to the light
A convertible with a old dude driving pulled right up to my side
All the sudden I began to realize
We all trying to be twenty
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Outasight]
All this time, I tried to find
An answer to what I was supposed to do and now it's clear
I faced my fears of gaining years
Age is just a state of time, not of mind
[Hook 2:]
I say I'm done, never again
I say we're lost, never can win
I say what can you do when you're twenty something and...
Twenty something and twenty something and...
I’ve been feeling real good
Came a long way from misunderstood
Far away from the days where I wouldn’t wanna go home
Cause I was afraid of the truth
See, I was scared to admit that failing was in the back of my head
Comes a point when lying no longer works
So you have to stand up for how you want to live
Tonight is the night is the night that we’re losing control
Ooohh oo-ooohh ooohh, Ooohh oo-ooohh ooohh
Tonight is the night is the night we set it off
Everybody go
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Everybody go
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Ye-ye-yeah!
And I don’t know better but as far as I came it felt like forever
Seconds turn to hours, days turn to months Another year passed by
but don’t feel like much
So if I got one chance, motherf-cker I’ma make y’all dance
I’ma have as much fun as I can
And figure out the rest when I etch out a plan
Tonight is the night is the night that we’re losing control
Ooohh oo-ooohh ooohh, Ooohh oo-ooohh ooohh
Tonight is the night is the night we set it off
Everybody go
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Everybody go
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Ye-ye-yeah!
I’m feelin better than I ever thought
It’s possible but now I know
Yeah!
I’m feelin better than I ever did
Impossible don’t exist, no
Impossible don’t exist
Cause everybody go
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Everybody go
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
(Oh-oh oh)
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Tonight is the night is the night that we’re losing control
(Wooh wooh wooh wooh)
(Wooh wooh wooh wooh)
(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Tonight is the night is the night we set it off
(Wooh wooh wooh wooh)
(Wooh wooh wooh wooh)
(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Tonight is the night is the night that we’re
losing control
(Wooh wooh wooh wooh)
(Wooh wooh wooh wooh)
(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Tonight is the night is the night we set it off
(Wooh wooh wooh wooh)
(Wooh wooh wooh wooh)
[Hook:]
Woke up somewhere that I've never been
Looked on the floor to try and find my clothes
Lying next to someone, can't recall their name
Leave your number on the table, take the walk of shame
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Rolled over and opened my eyes and realized, suddenly, I'm not at home
She said good morning, I said what up and thought it's time to go
Across her floor, my clothes and phone
I pick myself on up, she put her head in her hands
Brush away her bangs and ask me what's the rush?
Well it ain't personal, you seem like a good person though
To get your name, I'd have to go through your purse
And yo, I'd be the first to know I'm not that reliable
One good time and we try for two
I could go on and on, I need some R&R;, just give a call tomorrow
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Sexy, tiptoe past the roommates, shit, think one of them knew me
The living room seemed way too familiar
Homegirl look with a stare that'll kill ya
Hey, followed by an awkward moment, felt like time had frozen
Open up the door but it's the wrong one
Gotta take a walk back and it's a long one
Uncomfortable can't begin to describe
The whole damn scene, you could feel the vibe
All eyes staring as I try and find a way out
Wanna get back home, order some takeout
Is this how you make out? Just to make out
Maybe a little more but I took the safe route
'Cause too much too soon never pays out
I'm a live by that but not today pal
[Hook 2:]
Woke up somewhere that I've never been
Looked on the floor, thank God I found my clothes
Lying next to someone, can't recall their name
[Verse 1: Outasight]
It's sometimes stranger than fiction
But the weird things seems to be that
The storyline never stick to the script
And the characters involved don't match the description
We all tied up yet we still tripping
Over the small things which seem to all bring me
Back to when I started, a hopeless romantic left broken hearted
A bright eye teen seemed to disregard
Any advice given about my future plans
I had to go and make things hard
Was told to go to school, was told to be a man, damn
But I didn't grow up or be the lucky winner on "Who wanna blow up? "
And that's fine, shit happens
All the trouble makes for a better storyline
[Hook]
And I tried...
I tried to make something out of nothing before
I tried to leave the past on the cutting room floor
But the story runs until the credits roll
But I do know that I tried
I tried to put the blame on everyone else
Looking for excuses rather than some help
I know that feeling when you don't fit in
It's stranger than fiction
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Play your part in the scene, never knowing lines
A beautiful backdrop, role undefined
September nights where breezes brushed across my back
Staring at the sky, fading in the black
Scratch the fingernails 'cross the storyboard, I'm bored
I may need to be woken up from years before
And when the plot begins to twist and turn
I'll try my best to keep myself on the road and learn
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Outasight]
Quiet on set, lights, camera, action
Take one, one take, no mistakes
Cut, check gate now roll the tape
Separate the real from the fake
Put the score on the board and it sounds great
No dialogue force on, course the break
Take five, try and enjoy the day
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Wednesday morning 'round five o' clock
The day begins, it never stops
We wake up to a little light peaking on through
Downstairs to the kitchen we go
Eat breakfast, sip a cup of Joe
On the counter there, I left you a rose
Next to a note for the airport
Quickly eat and puff a smoke
The TV blares and the stove is broke
No need to talk or crack a joke
I packed your bags and we hit the road
Start the car and end the day
Knew this was coming 'round the end of May
But it's easier said than done
Made our bed and we had our fun but...
[Hook]
She's leaving-leaving home
Home-home-home-home
She's leaving-leaving home
Home-home, she's leaving home
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Paris, France, Spain and Milan
Rides in Venice, staring at the stars
Polaroid flicks and postcards in script
Written to her family that she will dearly miss
And the radio at night would play her favorite song
Can't hardly wait, Westerberg has his charm
Two weeks alone and one week in Prague
Days turn to month and that's she want
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Outasight]
They say home is where the heart is
But what happens when you departing?
Excuse me miss but please you'll have to pardon
My behavior but I'm just getting started
And I can say this with confidence
Or use my common sense to state the obvious
Beyond the compliments, we are the opposites
Attracted to each other, magnets for a mess
Wishing all the best but only getting stressed
Staying for the sex and fighting bout the checks
Issues addressed including your address
You leaving home on a flight direct
That I can't intersect but if I can interject
It's not too late and I would just say
That how we came together is a measure of fate
But I guess it can wait as we pull up to the gate
[Hook:]
I'm on my way
I'm not sure how the rest goes
Soon as I do, I'll let you know
I'm on my way
I'm not sure how the rest goes
Soon as I do, I'll let you know
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Beat skipping like we throwing a stone
Party start jumping 'round one in the morn
Two turntables and one long night
Morning come quick but stopping ain't right
And I'm hopping this flight on the road less traveled
Did my dirt, got stuck in the gravel
Bright lights, big city, face of the apple
Grazed in the pastures, placed with no masters
The face of disaster could stare right back
Johnny walker black for a long nightcap
Yeah, I roll like that so if you rolling with me
It's a long haul, the straight nitty gritty
Bad luck won't stop so please no pity
Be home real soon, come back in a jiffy
Rain against my window like I'm talking to missy
If I'm gone tomorrow, will they ever really miss me?
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Outasight]
And they say you never miss something till it's gone
Spent my early 20's sitting high at home
Going to school and playing the course
Heard a million times you can do better off
Losing your ambitions, messing 'round is fun
Wake up 'round noon, dropped out 21
And I didn't say any of this is an achievement
Meaning I don't need no nod of agreement
Hard headed, stubborn to a fault
180'd those in the way, a true summersault
'Cause it's hotter than July when the pressure start to melt
Every emotion on the sleeve and every lyric felt
Any melody sang comes out like a belt
Heard all across the world and I'm highly compelled
To figure out this story that I have to tell, I wonder if I will
[Hook:]
I don't wanna be alone
It don't matter anymore who it is
As long as someone's there
I don't wanna be alone
It don't matter anymore what happens
From here on out, nice
[Verse 1: Outasight]
With the same ol' two step
Bounce around town, know what you doing
Ain't the jealous type seeing how the fellas like
Running game all day, yeah, I let it ride
Damn, let's cruise, lost all my energy and blew a fuse
If the rules include what you do
The news for me to choose, a bruised ego is cool
What a fool, the man don't learn
Bought bags, bought jewels
Canceled subscriptions but then renewed
I don't mean to be rude, penny for a thought
So what a few stacks gon do or two?
Tied my noose, told me to hang loose
Swoosh, nothing but net, I guess I can shoot
[Hook]
So we doing real nice, a piece of advice
I'll take the whole slice, I ain't hear no bells
Don't throw no rice, blazer off white with a navy pinstripe
Right out Miami Vice, don't seem like the type
But damn that's the life and I didn't choose it
It's too confusing, use your illusion
Guns and Roses, flash Juxtaposes
35 millimeter black and white poses
56 and lotus as an added bonus, tell me if you on this
Even when I lie in bed, I'm being honest
Say good night and see ya in the morning
Wherever I'm roaming, looking for love 'cause I can't be alone man
[Intro:]
Never say never if ya ever felt the way I felt
The way I felt, never say never
You might feel a better
[Verse 1: Outasight]
I used to worry about things that I couldn't control
Change the channel 'cause I don't feel watching no more
I used to get uptight about the littlest things
Untie the knots and loosen the strings
Welcome to the life I lead
I care about the money, don't confuse it with greed
And never see me running from my fears that been coming
From all angles, getting hot 90 degrees, is it the right one?
Hand on my heart, no star spangled
Paying dues is painful and I'm getting close
No GPS, nowhere to go
[Hook:]
Never say never if ya ever felt the way I felt
The way I felt, never say never
You might feel a better
Never say never if ya ever felt the way I felt
The way I felt, never say never
You might feel a better
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Feeling better, new shirt, new sweater
Brand name put together yeah, I clean up nice
My advice not to add another vice
Can ya dig that? She writes on the last text of the night
And I can barely see that
Double vision living, I been doing it
And given myself to temptation
My girl has been patiently waiting for me to shape up
Yeah, circle gets the square, no squares in ya circle don't fit
This year is your year, mark it down on ya calendar
And if they testing character, I'm a pass it
Montana to Rice, two hands up
Welcome to the good life
Like Kanye performing to the Las Vegas lights
Welcome to the good life, welcome to the good life
[Hook]
[Bridge:]
I used to worry about things that I couldn't control
Change the channel 'cause I don't feel watching no more
I used to get uptight about the littlest things
Untie the knots and loosen the strings
Well there's a right time and a right place
Mexico City and a steel briefcase
Filled with the soul
Of a young man
And there's a holy ghost on the other side
Looking for a bed to close his eyes
While he gets away
From the routine
We on the go
Route 66
Convertible and a bunch of chicks
I can't complain
Life's been good to me
Scotch on the rocks
And pacific coasts
Block the wind
And Light the roach
We outta here
I'm signing off...
(Don't you close your eyes you'll miss all the fun)
We're Almost Near The End.
Well there's a right time and a right place
2 technics in a metal case
And a bb gun
Don't shoot your eye
And Kerouac is in the back
Fill the shelf
And clean the rack
It's apropos, watup bro
We on the go
Rocking till the wheels fall off the side
Ain't no rims to spin
To my chagrin
Insomnia
A pack of blues
Coltrane speakers
And converse shoes.
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Sitting back on my MC status
I ain't good at math but I'm above average
This got a ring to it, no rush to marriage
Or ride the horse and carriage
But I am truly flattered, don't make me blush
Grab my hand when I walk in but what's the rush?
What's up with my life being lush?
If looks could kill, watch the crowd go hush
Out the club in the morning light
To the diner for some grub, got an appetite for destruction
Who fronting on this real cool brother?
One of a kind style who don't sound like another
Don't hate me for being a life lover
I came from the bottom and look how I got 'em
All in a frenzy, acting all friendly
Now where's my umbrella Mr. Bentley?
[Hook:]
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Welcome to the lush life
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Welcome to the lush life
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Welcome to the lush life
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Welcome to the lush life
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Put words together like I'm playing Scrabble
Triple word score, now make ya trunk rattle
Any new kicks? Yup, I got to have those
Dutch's, we pass those just like with Tabasco
With anything I grub on, this ain't no love song
Now everybody stop and say hey
And pretty young thing got me off the wall
Last shot of the night, this my curtain call
But I'm sticking around for the encore
'Cause I got a little something but I want more
Hmm, makes ya think anything possible with a couple of drinks
Now everyone at the same time, say ho-ho Jinx
Knock on wood, the boy gon be good
Been long enough on the brink, think...
[Hook]
[Verse 3: XV]
Welcome to the life of mirages
Photo garages, Pablo Picasso collages
Hoes in my closet 'cause wifey is home
Let 'em out if they got it and my wifey is home
I'm talking gumball machines in the lobby
Hallway filled with Murakami by Kakachi
They say it's hard out here for me, no Jirachi
But I just hear the crowd drowning out everybody
Shit, mama thought it never made sense that I could get boss
Like the soap at the Macent, this is my exodus
So which do they say exits it?
I don't plan to ever exit the entertainment
Niggas came with, come out of divorces
Like dudes in gang support groups, they don't claim shit
Until my time is up, welcome to the lush life, I see ya sign is up
Breaker breaker one nine
Can you hear me
Over and out
Goin clearly
Clearly I'm losing
Losing My mind
Losing My mind
Watup to my audience
Been holdin on line
Not foldin like accordians
We goin Back to the future
Like ridin in deloreans Not crown victorians
Life starts,
And the story ends
Skies Gray like dorian
Till voices started joining em,
Now it ain't in vein,
So let the award tour begin
And New york is here since I started goin in
Got the juice tampico
Puerto rican girls used to go and call me rico
This music shit to me
Is like lou reed to nico
I Feel like razar ramon
Watup chico
Thowen toothpics
At the amateurs
The said characters
Who tried to get the picture
But couldn't get the apperature
The shutter speed
Or the right light
Now you in the dark
Like a night light
Fuck being like mike
Be like Outasight
And grow a set
And here come the hook
Cause This shit ain't over yet
Another bar gettin thrown out
Speakin man to man
I just wanna chill and zone out
If you don't know jack
Homie don't pull ya phone out
And I can drop dimes
But I ain't got much to loan out
Every weekend gettin blown out
15 years old with a north face and a blow out
19 selling 20s trying to pull the dough out
25 and signed now the light don't go out.
Outasight ain't outalight
But he's sure out his mind
But he ain't out of time,
Groovin
Chillin
Routing for the villain
Downtown dwelling
Boy his ego swelling
Like he got knocked in his head
Downing johnny walker red
Every one of our parents said
Stay in school
Some of us did
Some of us didn't
Some of us cared
Some of us living
Some of us dead
Some of us broke
Some of us rich
None of us should Ever live in the fear
Of speaking clear
So grow a set
And here come the hook
[Hook:]
Some might get it and some might not,
We don't really care we just do what we want,
It's like that, it's like that,
I don't care.
[Repeat]
Some think a picture tells a 1000 words,
But a jpeg image shouldn't get y'all concerned
"Don't judge a book by it's cover" is cliché
So take a look and hate, it's really that easy
And I won't be all serious like I'm Enrique
And I don't get caught up in the "he say, she say",
So say what you want, and tell me how you feel,
It won't change much but I only hope it's real.
What goes around, comes around
I'm sure you heard the schpeel, of climbin' to the top
So if I get the over the hill
I got no one to blame, except myself and my will
I got no one to claim if I ever write my will
I'll - but better not yet contagious
Heard the whole book
But never skimmed through the pages
Judged on looks
Well it really doesn't faze us
Tappin' on my watch
Like damn, what's the wait up?
[Hook:]
Some might get it and some might not,
We don't really care we just do what we want,
It's like that, it's like that,
I don't care.
[Repeat]
And I'm trying to make a difference for what it's worth,
And I swear for a minute that I thought I was cursed
Every step forward meant another few back
End up at some dive bar just to knock a few back
And my friends kept asking can we have you back
I took another shot without pouring you jack.
Data from the Getco, maybe I should let go
Of my all my hope, sell insurance like the Geico
Heck no - I bet those thoughts don't bounce
Till my bank account has an amount that don't bounce
And anytime I'm lettin' go out I don't count
I don't really cared, no way no how
And as for the future? No way to know now
So loans and electric, cable and the rent is
On the back of my mind
Till further notice and mentions
I learned a lesson.
Word
[Hook:]
Some might get it and some might not,
We don't really care we just do what we want,
It's like that, it's like that,
I don't care.
[Hook:]
I think I need a little bit of...
I think I need a little bit of help
Come and clap your hands with me
Oh-oh-oh I can't help myself from myself, no-no-no
Oh-oh-oh I can't help myself from myself, no-no-no
[Verse 1: Outasight]
How you gon find peace in this world?
When you can't find peace in yourself
We all after a piece of the pie
Broken dreams, pieces in mind
And when freedom gon to be free?
Is this the price for being me?
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see
No one get too close to me
'Cause I can't help it, always feeling wrong
What you selling? Oh, I'll take one of everything
Take everything I got, it's nothing much, it's worth the shot
I'm not focused, I'm always tired
Can't get my shit straight, cross the wires
Take two of these and make those doses higher-higher oh
[Hook 2:]
Oh-oh-oh I can't help myself from myself, no-no-no
Oh-oh-oh I can't help myself from myself, no-no-no
No-no-no, I need a little bit of help
[Verse 2: Outasight]
And every time I play the fence, nothing is green on either end
Walk a mile in my shoes, tell me what you got to lose
Likely to move a whole lot slower
I know nothing of a best foot forward
She may bring you down, they may never grow up
Anything less of one thing, you probably need more of something else
And I can get a hold of any problem that you know of
Tell me when and where to show up, yeah, come for help
[Hook 3:]
Oh-oh-oh I can't help myself from myself, no-no-no
Oh-oh-oh I can't help myself from myself, no-no-no
Oh-oh-oh I can't help myself from myself, no-no-no
Good morning, good evening,
I hope you like dreaming,
You live to learn, and you learn to live,
It's positive and negative,
I can't sleep, but I dream big [x3]
Good evening,
Well it's hard to get to bed,
With a head full of dreams,
Pocket full of loose change,
Rippin' at the seams,
And it's hard to keep moving,
With a head full of steam,
It's the green,
It's the scene,
It's everything,
Hard to gain perspective,
When ya' eyes won't close,
It's hard to stand tall,
When you already on your toes,
Money can't grow on trees, yea I know,
It's the dough,
It's the show,
The got me all froze-en,
I wanna change my whole life n,
Runnin' out of gas,
Tell me who gon' scifen,
I'm likin' my chances,
But I don't say Jack,
Spin the wheel of fortune,
Like I'm sajak,
All I wanna do is ride a mayback,
Look real improtant,
But please don't say that,
That's all that matters,
To me,
Why can't I just,
Dream,
Good morning, good evening,
I hope you like dreaming,
You live to learn, and you learn to live,
It's positive and negative,
I can't sleep,
But I dream big [x3]
Good Evening,
Well it's hard to find peace,
When you're fighting a war,
Hard to see the stars,
When ya' sleeping on the floor,
Take what you can get,
Grab for a little more,
At the mall,
Let's ball,
Who cares about debt anymore
No freebies,
Stayin' alive like the bee gee's,
If they rentin' on easystreet,
Believe me I'm buying a penthouse yea,
Until then though,
I got to get those flows,
That I do through the ghetto's,
And suburbs alike,
Cause I really like,
Things that are nice,
Greed is my only advice,
But I know it's only natural (ooh),
So I'm a do what I have to do (yea),
And when I finally get some rest (uh-hu),
I can dream about shit that is fresh,
Good morning, good evening,
I hope you like dreaming,
You live to learn, and you learn to live,
It's positive and negative,
I can't sleep,
But I dream big [x3]
Good evening [x5]
Good morning, good evening,
I hope you like dreaming,
You live to learn, and you learn to live,
It's positive and negative,
I can't sleep,
But I dream big [x3]
[Hook:]
Can you do me a favor and call me later?
'Cause I don't feel like talking right now, no
Can you do me a favor and call me later?
'Cause I don't feel like talking right now, no
[Verse 1: Outasight]
First thing I do when I roll up out of my bed is...
Put a pot of coffee on and try and clear my head instead
I check the blackberry on the corner of my couch
And it says around 100 new messages over one damn night
Can't understand a word it read, see, I wouldn't lie to you
If it's fine with you, I'll hit you back a little later
Sorry if I miss you, I'm taking today off
Don't take my alone time as a sign of disrespect
It's anyone in particular that I'm ditching
Put the phone on the counter and leave my kitchen
Throw some clothes on, brush my teeth and exit
Hear a ringing and start spitting...
[Hook 2:]
Can you do me a favor and call me later?
'Cause I don't feel like talking right now, no
[Verse 2: Outasight]
See, I got mom talking about how I need to pay tickets
Pops ask about music everyday in case he missed it
The girl wanna chill every single hour
Electric company threatened to cut the power
I got homies rolling L's, asking when we gonna spark it
Super hit me up, late rent on the apartment
Management wonder which tracks are hits
Record label keep trying to get me in they office
See, I wouldn't lie to you, if it's fine with you
I'll hit you back a little later, sorry if I miss you, I'm taking today off
Don't take my alone time as a sign of disrespect
It's not you in particular that I'm avoiding
The idea of disappearing I'm toying 'cause shit be getting on my nerves
For the person calling right now, they deserve...
[Hook:]
First thing's first, I heard that
Everyone thinks they deserve a little fame and fortune
They want it all, have it all
Lastly that I find, I am bout to go for mine
I can't explain it, I want it, I have to have it all
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Back from hiatus, let me be the first to say hi haters
Tailored slacks, raw labors
Substance, style, we all lust for the papers
School of hard knocks, no majors
Everyone's on ya tip, no waiters, still partying, no favors
Got Bacardi and some bitches but no faders
And now you feel me and now you don't
I don't care, I lost my mind with my wallet
So I got no ideas, years of raising the bar and breaking in glass cheers
Who knew it'd be so stressful to be successful?
But now that I'm here, revenge is a dish best served cold
So use it as an F-U to those who test you
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Outasight]
I want a house in the hills, not worry bout bills, I want it all
I want the flyest clothes and the finest hoes, I want it all
Don't care about greed, gimme what I need and so much more, I want it all
And you shoulda known better, oh you a go-getter, I go get it
Wanna be as big as Zeppelin but escalade to heaven forever
Kinda like infinity and beyond, I'm Buzz Lightyears ahead of 'em
They gas, I unleaded them, if they good, I'm better
[Verse 1: Outasight]
It started at the moment I thought it would
I stepped off the platform into a yellow car
I could not retrieve the road
Windows cracked, my eyes were closed
How will I find my way out?
It ended when I lost my quest forever more
Inclined to roles, response and goals I never saw
There I was, alone again, not giving up but giving in
Now tell me where to go
[Hook:]
Downtown in my mind
I'm looking for things I could never find
[Verse 2: Outasight]
I picked the pieces up and started to question
Why it must be selling out or buying in
Everywhere I look or turn, everyone is so concerned
Yet they have no reply
I'm walking slowly down this block, I swear I saw
The whole world 'round me moving in fast forward
All my movements slowing down
Constant rushing always 'round, I have nowhere to run
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3: Outasight]
Let me state my name, Richard Andrew, no one the same
Whether doughboy philosopher, no codes, locking 'em
Dope shows, rocking 'em, choice hoes, on top of 'em
Close foes, mocking 'em, none in the vicinity
Sipping merlot in Little Italy memories
Brush through my mind, paint against canvas
Campus to mansions, Burberry J ransom
Sinatra's my life, playing in the back
Like I'm sitting in my grandpa's Cadillac
Those who can't see the vision, cataracts
Average stacks, laugh at that
Tailored stacks, roll through my habitat
The constant search for answers seems like they got it
The path to knowledge of self may be chaotic
But I'm on it, won't shut it down like onyx
Hit the Mark Ecko sentiments of the life complex in the dark
Don't say one word, it's not your concern
Don't say anything, you may think your right,
Don't say anything, you may think your right
As you said, good morning Mr Andrew
Huh, why seem so stressed?
Is it cus the world would eat you up and spit you out
Make you feel like one of the rest
Clear me throat, clear me head
But I need to clear one of these cheques
Because the last one I got was from the collect
Saying I need to clear up some of these debts
Threat!
And when I got out on the town
I gotta get pass people, I don't like!
Get life, take a hike, fly a kite, goodbyeee
Even when the sun ain't beaming when the morning or the evening my future is still bright
But it's a fight tonight, tonight, don't say anything that will make it seem, seem alright
Don't say one word, it's not your concern
Don't say anything, you may think your right,
Don't say anything, you may think your right
Feeling low, my life is in limbo
Chances knocked out like I was fighting with Kimbo
Trying to get out, but with her knowing what I'm into
We should work out, like I was holding some mentos!
Me prom face on, middle late night she didn't put her face on
Pull out the bottle take some, take some
Running away, but getting chased on, by Jason
Yow, no matter how fast I run, run, run
She catch up to me
Yow, sometimes I'm thinking I'm having fun, fun,
But not really, I stop dealin'
And think about the differences between feelin'
And being regular, comparin'
To me the synonyms, definitions are similar
Never getting the point n' giving up n' getting up, c'mon
Don't say one word, it's not your concern
Don't say anything, you may think your right,
Don't say anything, you may think your right
Don't say one word, it's not your concern
Don't say one word, it's not your concern
Don't say one word, it's not your concern
Don't say one word, it's not your concern
Don't say one word, it's not your concern
Don't say anything, you may think your right,
[Verse 1: Outasight]
I started out on Burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff
Call this Richard Andrew's blues
I could feel the morning 'round the corner and it's killing my buzz
In the back, I hear the news
You got something that really makes me spin
Like an orange quarter water and a fifth of gin
Punch-drunk love and a wide eyed grin
I was looking to score so I took her to the tin
Rejected, I'm hooked like Kareem
A fiend for obscene, I scream to cause a scene
Um, that's where it gets fizzy
Another late night feeling kinda dizzy
[Hook:]
I'm feeling so dizzy
Shit keeps moving 'round and getting me all dizzy
Watching the world spin
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Well it's one shot and two shots and three shots and floor
Every time I think I'm done, I keep on coming back for more
And my job kinda sucks, everyday's such a bore
And I want a bunch of new shit but I'm poor
All you ask is when you gonna grow up?
And what you gonna do when you don't blow up?
Go throw another show where no one shows up
Drink too much Jameson and have to throw up
You know what? You probably right
What kinda grown man calls himself Outasight?
But that's life baby, trying to stay busy
But all this damn talk got the boy feeling so dizzy
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Outasight]
I ain't saying that I messed up, I been cleaning up myself
I shaved my face and cut my hair and put on a belt
And people come and go like I'm flicking through cable
That's where it's gets a little tricky and leaves a guy feeling dizzy
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Dreaming, Saturday morning with nothing to do
It's up to you to love me for who I am
And never get confused on what's the truth
All my time has been wasted running around, this game for fools
All my energy misplaced, not to be found, I guess it's cool
[Hook:]
Sometimes, the simple things are the hardest
Dear heartache, dear heartache, you got me
The simple things are the hardest, dear heartache
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Dreaming, Sunday night with no one to talk to
I'm kinda screwed, love me
If I mess up or not tell the truth, what's left to lose?
Oh my, I'm feeling like my luck has finally changed, it's kinda strange
Oh my, no more rain on my parade, I'm out the shade
[Hook]
[Bridge:]
Yours truly, I'm truly yours
Yours truly, I'm truly yours
Yours truly, I'm truly yours
Yours truly, I'm truly yours
Yours truly, I'm truly yours
Yours truly, I'm truly yours
Yours truly, I'm truly yours
Truly yours
[Verse 3: Outasight]
Yo, I left my heart in El Segundo
Tried to turn back but I had to run though
Spent a few months in dark seclusion
Summertime showed and it changed my tune
And that's right around when I met you
And that's right around when I was through with
All the memories and photos and no doze
Chain smoking all loco, I felt so low
[Hook:]
This is where the talking ends and life begins
Let's start again, it's hard out here
Why does it have it to be so complicated?
This is where all the conversation stops and life begins
Why does it have to be so complicated?
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Welcome to my world where imagination kept running
Sprinting and sprinting, still trying to catch up
Walk into the bedroom of that only child
Singing and humming, what would be his future?
A prep school graduate with a C average
But I never seemed average
I would talk all night bout being Outasight
But I never kareem'd Magic till I put the words to bed
And woke up the action and canned the laughter
I ain't trying to make a stand, I'm trying to fill up the rafters
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Explanations repeat in my mind
Voices skipping back and forth like stones 'cross the pond
Taking trips down memory lane don't bring pain
They be making me feel a certain way about those wasted days
And when I hear about acquaintances through old friends
I still hear they hating to no end
I shouldn't even waste my breath on 'em
'Cause if I confronted 'em, they'd get all choked up
And I wouldn't waste my breath on 'em
And I wish death on none except my old self
The lost kid who thought he was owed wealth
'Cause he was so I'll, oh well
[Intro:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Catch me if you can
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Sink slow sips of bourbon, etching out a dream
A page out of your notebook, images on a dusted screen
And lord knows I'm right in front of you
Mouth shut but I'm not gonna move
I won't be here for long but that's just how shit goes
Welcome to the Terrordome
D'evils knocking on my door but I'm never home
Papa was a rolling stone and he let 'em go
So now, you understand why I'm better known
And any list they made, don't try to write 'em off
Any chick that I played, gonna fight 'em off
Love the fireworks, yeah, let's light 'em off
My AIM game tight but I'm really signing off
[Hook:]
And you seen the breaks and you seen the flaws
Packed up in Spring, never returned in Fall
I'm sorry I can't help you man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Catch me if you...
Catch me if you can
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Visions of grandeur, rolling across state lines
Midnight fit for exit, navy skies, perfect time
And lord knows I'm right in front of you
Mouth shut but I'm not gonna move
I won't be here for long but that's just how shit goes
And I never really thought about
How my life don't apply, don't walk it out
And I don't know what you want me to say, yo
But being ahead of my time kinda pay slow
And I pay no mind to these new cats
'Cause I was doing this a few back
Ask the labels who said no, they knew that
Scared to market me, cut me down but I grew back
[Hook 2:]
And you seen the cracks and you seen the flaws
Dashed out in the Summer, Winter never returned a call
I'm sorry I can't help you man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Catch me if you...
Catch me if you can, catch me if you can
Catch me if you can, catch me if you can
Catch me if you...
Catch me if you...
Let's go Uh
Let's get outta here
It's a Brand New day
Let me tell you what I'm feeling like
Let's, I'm on a corner of an avenue
Pocket full of revenue
Feels incredible
Someone put you on a pedestal
Knock you back down
Let it go, it's inevitable
When my time comes I'll find a way to really see
Through the rainy days, I was amazed I was afraid of what I could be
May see it feel best when your mains being put down
I open my eyes from a long night and look around
And I don't feel the same
Yeah summit' really changed from the way I walked in to a Brand new Day
Aberration and hating have a very thin line of separation
Either way you wanted a conversation
So my dialect the original, a language untainted
When my names come up, no-one sends me on my way
And I follow my own directions my own road I never sway
It was too simple to stop fussing over what's expected
It was to easy to stand alone and feel so neglected
And I don't feel the same
Yeah summit' really changed from the way I walked in to a Brand new Day
Yow, I'm thinking of me social status, used to have me at my maddest
Dreams of living plus me lavish generated from magazines, TV screens
Seemed to be the only thing that matters at me fearing average
And when the sun starts to close a number in falls
I hear the echoes of my love, melting down the halls
It's too better to out-beat this under of depressin'
I'm looking in these notebooks and I'm regressing whilst I was dressin'
And I don't feel the same
I know summit' really changed from the way I walked in to a Brand new Day
And I don't feel the same
I know summit' really changed from the way I walked in to a Brand new Day
And I don't feel the same
I know summit' really changed from the way I walked in to a Brand new Day
And I don't feel the same
Ooooooooooooo
And I don't feel the same
And I know summit' changed from the way I walked in to a Brand new Day
And I don't feel the same
And I know summit' changed from the way I walked in to a Brand new Day
Open my eyes hungover around somewhere quarter to four
The only reason I did cause I heard you knockin on my door
Uh, and id like like you to know that
Not every moment so picture perfect and kodak
Trying to be the new me get ridda the throwback
You prolly heard this before
Get ready for the night, think it was roun quarter to ten
The only reason I'm goin out cause I heard you was back again
Uh, and id like you to realize
I feel the same pressure and I know what it feel like
When people keep askin when I'm joinen the real life
And I don't know what to say to them
[Hook:]
We all make mistakes I'm trying to catch a break,
Putting the past away,
It's better, late than never, to get it together, whether, or not I want to...
Everything seemed alright tonight when I first hit the strip,
But things to start to change, right away, upon that first sip,
Your return bittersweet,
Misery loves company and it loves me,
No romance or hold hands I'm no fan of the same damn drama
Please change the program...
And say what you wanna, I tried to play the background but I'm a front runna,
Comma, Something stopped me in the middle of, my sentence,
Dropped all my worries, never picked em up
Til now, the glass half empty but it filled out,
But one shot of you and it spills out,
What's the problem? I'm trying to figure it out,
It's out my hands now!
[Bridge:]
Everyone says I've been doin it wrong,
Should follow the crowd and move it along,
Take another drag and flick it away,
Worry about tomorrow, I'm here today,
I'm here today, I've made mistakes, and I'm running late
I've made mistakes and I'm here today,
[Verse 1: Outasight]
It came as no surprise
Another month gone in the books
I swear without you around, it's restlessness overdose
My welcome overstayed, maybe I can't catch a hint
Success, where are you now? Think I need another hit
A lil bit of problems, baby I'm in it
Stopped for a second and then took a minute
The joke's on me but who we kidding?
Ain't nothing funny 'bout no money when you living like me
Waiting in vein, IV
Caught in the web and it ain't an IP
Address my problems, feeling better
Obstacles but I won't let up
[Hook: Outasight and Avriel Epps]
And every time I swear I was about to give up on you
And now I believe again
Everyday, somehow, something keeps getting in my way
But that's ok 'cause I keep going on and on and on
Everyday, somehow, something keeps getting in my way
But that's ok 'cause I keep going on and on and on
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Some try to shoot ya down, their aim off the mark
Scared of being themselves, afraid of what's in they heart
Been on the scene, played the role, say the lines
Appreciate the honesty, gave my soul, gave my time
For you, I'd do anything, consider it done and end the dream
From the day we met, cold sweat, hot flashes
After attention from the masses
[Hook]
[Hook 2: Outasight and Avriel Epps]
Everyday, somehow, something keeps getting in my way
But that's ok 'cause I keep going on and on and on
Everyday, somehow, something keeps getting in my way
[Verse 1: Outasight]
I wish I could tell you that everything's okay
When certainly they're not 'cause in my mind
The weight of getting older falls right upon my shoulders
The clock never stops, no rewind
To you, it means a change for good
A day you been waiting for
Well I can not abide, no how, no way
To me, it means letting go of being carefree, responsible
Hello is something I'd rather not try today
[Hook:]
I'll be alright, I swear
If it's fine by you, don't pay me no mind
I'll be alright, I swear
It's my life and it's ending one minute at a time
[Verse 2: Outasight]
And I'm alive and free and young and chilling out
And doing whatever I want
I'm not sure exactly when time slipped through my fingers
But I'm afraid to lose anymore, please excuse the mess
I can't get over the hill and look back, no, that's for sure
And days swing by so blissfully, scares the shit out of me
My dear, does getting old mean you'll be alone?
Afraid of death, afraid of life, knock the door and wasting time
Hello, the thought of being without you is gone
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Outasight]
And I was thinking bout turning up the stereo
And playing something out loud so I couldn't hear the world
And maybe stop it on it's axis for a second
So I can live in the moment for just another minute in it
And I was thinking about closing up the shades
And acting like it never changes time in the day
And I don't have to see the sun fade away
It's like it never happened then-then I'd be okay
[Hook:]
If it ain't one thing, then it's another
You got me singing, ah yeah
Running for cover, you got me going, ah yeah
Don't me make suffer, you got me going, ah yeah
If it ain't one thing, then it's another
You got me going, ah yeah
Running for cover, you got me going, ah yeah
Don't me make suffer, you got me going, ah yeah
[Verse 1: Outasight]
You shake your body 'round, make a brother lose his mind
Off the books, count the hours, running overtime
Charlie hustle with a shuffle, yeah
Sold the grind to a greater cause, now sound the applause
Pin dropping silence steady when you when you entering
It's not a science we applying, we just meant to win
Don't be beleaguered, I am eager to earn a stripe
Toast a glass, approaching fast moments after midnight
You got that late night, go wherever it take right
Time and place for everything, tonight, we gonna make life
A little bit better than we ever dreamed of, Portland passing Pasadena
Partake in madness on a daily status, y'all never see us
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Talking-talking baby, what's it-what's it ever for?
They got the young folks trapped behind the trapped door
Whispering ambitions, roses through a cracked floor
Keep on going, keep on growing, who cares what they ask for?
A dollar and a dream, shorty bout to cash in
Turbulence on ascend, seatbelt fastened
They take a whole lot, give a little ration
Mama didn't raise no sucker, fucker, I'm a cash in
Little did you know before this song I was about to quit
But I'm back on-back on, light switch, morning, noon and night shift
Songs for life in the right pitch, turn your back and you might miss
All the action we can muster, busting up the pipes, shit
[Verse 1: Outasight]
Don't care if it's mine or yours, taking all this time to talk
Hop skip the monologue, out from the London fog
Run the game and never jog, full sprint
Bull shit, thinking I'm the under card
I'm the main event, favorite, own space, no paying rent
Paper chase and paper get, hustling the way I did
I should probably make a scene
I should probably break something
I should probably give on in
But I kept on keeping on, tip toed to the top 'cause they was sleeping on
Now I'm gon ring alarms, style with a certain charm
Make a brother one of one, shooting my mouth off
I'm a son of a gun and ready to come, shooting down all fear
'Cause forever is here, cheers, cheers, cheers
[Hook:]
Hey babe, have you heard the news?
The boy is back and he can't lose
Some people tried to put him down
Guess whose back around
If forever is here, cheers, cheers, cheers
[Verse 2: Outasight]
And I don't care about paying dues
Born to win, no way to choose, sitting back and making moves
Headline, breaking news, yeah, I'm erasing rules
Pencil to the page with the fade, incredible
Stamps on the passport, feet up on the dashboard
Windows seat g5, look out, that's yours
Getting what you ask for, said it on Fame and Fortune, I'm after all
Not a moment too soon, heart so tender, you can cut it with a spoon
Get to bed at five, wake up 'round noon
New York times, page six, gatecrash on view and what's it to you?
Lighting up a parliament, starting up an argument
One way or another, never am I on the fence, true
[Hook 2:]
Hey babe, have you heard the news?
The boy is back and he can't lose
Some people tried to put him down
Guess whose back around
If forever is here, cheers, cheers, cheers
Cheers, cheers, cheers
[Hook 3:]
Hey babe, have you heard the news?
The boy is back and he can't lose
Hey babe, have you heard the news?
The boy is back and he can't lose
If forever is here, if forever is here, cheers
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh
Oh ohh, oh ohhhh.
Ah, she takes a love kid... recognize who's staring back (back)
Couple of years bad love with more down and ups like the glass that crack,
Bright lights in the city what a pity that I don't recall your name
In every single town, we think you overcame,
The clouds come around and it fall some rain.
I mumble out the words, jungle inside my head
It's time to make things better would take it worse instead
When you let to fight some things that never end,
Would do this again?
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Job, take no look in the review, I can't recognize what's staring back,
If the past is the past, I can't hang from now so cuff me some slap
And it's easy to chop and get what and walk so we seat around the weight
For the worse to come up that my inspire of us,
So stop fucking up and change our fate
I mumble out the words, jungle inside my head
You're looking for answers, I'm looking for a air
I'm gonna sleep this one away and come back in the end
will do this again?
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Out the corner stone, the licker stone or around the block
Go the wind down town and I'd ret them all at the check down town
I search... and try to find the little things
That I can say back to you to make everyone...
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
[Hook:]
If it ain't one thing, then it's another
You got me singing, ah yeah
Running for cover, you got me going, ah yeah
Don't me make suffer, you got me going, ah yeah
If it ain't one thing, then it's another

Time and place for everything, tonight, we gonna make life
A little bit better than we ever dreamed of, Portland passing Pasadena
Partake in madness on a daily status, y'all never see us
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Outasight]
Talking-talking baby, what's it-what's it ever for?
They got the young folks trapped behind the trapped door
Whispering ambitions, roses through a cracked floor
Keep on going, keep on growing, who cares what they ask for?
A dollar and a dream, shorty bout to cash in
Turbulence on ascend, seatbelt fastened
They take a whole lot, give a little ration
Mama didn't raise no sucker, fucker, I'm a cash in
Little did you know before this song I was about to quit
But I'm back on-back on, light switch, morning, noon and night shift
Songs for life in the right pitch, turn your back and you might miss
All the action we can muster, busting up the pipes, shit
Everybody dream about the money and cars and clothes and all that
Before you think Outasight happened overnight homie you better fall back
This years in the making took a whole lotta work with a whole lotta means
I didn't ever get a call back, never was a draw back ever with a short stack I was all in
I'm hustling, I'm bustin in
What you think of me, I'm not interested
I shine you shine I'm so damn tired about your grind
We all got pills and we all like to chill but shit gets real when the (counts?) gets ill
I play this straight
I got good karma
Don't cheat don't steal
Don't cause no drama
Of all the actors who wanna be artists, wanna be the hardest, yall just a part this
From honors don't get bothered I'd rather be modest
Ride, ride, ride around the city
I got my windows down and I wanna take you with me
So go and close your eyes and see the world is mine
I think its about that time that everybody shine
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on the world
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on the world
Rolex my time is right, think its time I go shine my light
Skateboard my grind is right, hey girl you needa come find a light
Ride it tryna find it, needa bad chick I get behind it
And my swag is sick you been reminded smoke with me, royal heinous is us
Royal flush I'm just playing with these niggas like its fuckin' Toys 'R' Us
Boy I'm plush, and my seat back so just keep that, everything is fine
We done seen hate but vaseline face we gonna shine
Now a'll these pretty hose is hitting on my line
And Ima have to find a way to make her mine
My secret panty droppin weapon is the wine
What happens next is for another time, we'll be fine yup
Ride, ride, ride around the city
I got my windows down and I wanna take you with me
So go and close your eyes and see the world is mine
I think its about that time that everybody shine
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on the world
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on the world
Oo so shine your light oo so extra bright
Make sure you find yourself before your're found Outasight
Took a long while didn't know it comes easy
Had some good friends, girlfriends who didn't believe me
This aint no victory lap, I don't sleep I don't nap
I'm just tryna do me and now you see where Im at
And you should go and try and try and do the same
And take a ride with me on this memory lane... damn
Ride, ride, ride around the city
I got my windows down and I wanna take you with me
So go and close your eyes and see the world is mine
I think its about that time that everybody shine
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on the world
Shine your light
Shine your light
Whenever
Wherever
Back then everybody got a plan
Everybody got a chance
At their hollow dream
Bright lights, big city
Go ahead take a step and get up on that screen
Don't start to believe everything you see you better watch your company
'Cause so called friends
Start showin' colors at the end
Honestly
So le-let's go
Don't be afraid
Of the unknown I cannot tell
If this is real
Or really hell
Anything not nailed down
Let's sell away and not look back
Cut and paste and overlap
Any moment I'm 'bout to crack
With no way to glue it back.
Whenever
Wherever
Does leaving make it better?
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
If what you say is true.
Whenever
Wherever
If leaving makes it better
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
And count me in with you
I remember when no one cared and people just stared and doubted me
Feels like nothing much has changed except my own sanity
Can't put my finger on, what it could have been or what it had to be
Huh, it's all hearsay now so when I paint my masterpiece
All that glitters ain't gold, another story gets told
'Bout an underdog trying to overcome some issue they can't get ahold,
Of, and moving right along to another sad place and another sad time
Put a quarter in the jukebox
And say goodbye to the world you thought was fine.
Whenever
Wherever
Does leaving make it better?
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
If what you say is true.
Whenever
Wherever
If leaving makes it better
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
And count me in with you
Someone told me about this place
We don't need a fucking thing
Who's gon' recognize your face?
No one's gonna know your name
Call me when you get the guts
Forget about whose to blame
Whenever ever you want to leave, I'll leave
Whenever
Wherever
Does leaving make it better?
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
If what you say is true.
Whenever
Wherever
If leaving makes it better
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
And count me in with you
Whenever
Wherever
Does leaving make it better?
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
If what you say is true.
Whenever
Wherever
If leaving makes it better
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Welcome to the good life
Making toasts another good night
I'm sure this is what it looks like
But do know that I fought the good fight
Back when I was in the trenches
Collecting dust sitting on the bench and
This can't be the place preventing
But it was my time I was spending
I'm sure you know the feeling when your hands reach the ceiling
I'm losing all my worries
This sky is in the hurries
Yep, So it's back to basics the morning comes and I'm back to chasing the
Same old thing with the same old basis but there's not one thing I would
Change man
Running and running
But I'm already here
Waiting for something but for what it's not clear
Running and running but I'm never scared
You better pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
If I fall down
I'm taking a stand, I hope you understand
Work this 'round
You better pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
If I fall down
Welcome to my story
Before the songs before the glory
There was a boy, didn't count as boring
Who let go with the fear he's holding
Walk down of all his classes
Followed his so-called passion
Everyone said he was crazy
And they were right but that was back then
I'm sure you know the feeling when your hands reach the ceiling
I'm losing all my worries
This sky is in the hurries
Ya back on the chase
Once in a bill, gotta slow your pace
Take a look around and appreciate all the good things that come to those
Who wait
Running and running
But I'm already here
Waiting for something but for what it's not clear
Running and running but I'm never scared
You better pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
If I fall down
I'm taking a stand, I hope you understand
Work this 'round
You better pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
If I fall down
If I fall down
If I fall down
You better pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
If I fall down
I'm taking a stand, I hope you understand
Work this 'round
You better pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
If I fall down
I'm taking a stand, I hope you understand
Work this 'round
You better pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
Under the orange tree, save some room for me
I'll meet you there again
Over the span of time, start to realize
But you leave important
And you were the best friend
And we're falling down on our time tonight
To the space out the moments
Waving the passing byes again
Did you think they would break for you?
Slow dance
And watch what they make of you
Yeah I'm under, I'm under
I'm under a lock and key
Yeah I'm under, I'm under
I'm under a lock and key
Yeah I'm under, I'm under
I'm under a lock and key
Yeah I'm under, I'm under
I'm under a lock and key
So save some room for me
Save some room for me
Under the orange tree, save some room for me
I'll meet you there once more
You were a best friend, in a known life
I'll hold you as dear that I can
And the same day, we lost you
It doesn't make much sense, oh no
I took your picture off the book
So long, under a lock and key we drown
Yeah I'm under, I'm under
I'm under a lock and key
Yeah I'm under, I'm under
I'm under a lock and key
Yeah I'm under, I'm under
I'm under a lock and key
Yeah I'm under, I'm under
I'm under a lock and key
So save some room for me
So save some room for me
We don't know if we're breaking down
We don't know if we're breaking down
Uhuu
I wake up [?] and I can't get my head out the clouds, no, no!
One way or another, I found myself on the [?]
Cause money sure don't seem to make amend
But the men make the dollar real
Won't let a few things keep me down,
But you sure know how to cheat.
Some days I feel like a bird
[?] don't mean to think, no, no
One way or another I find the little bases to keep things real out, out
Cause world don't seem to make the man
But the men seem to make the moon
Open my eyes, do a little something
Let me see what I can do!
I don't know why but today I feel
A little bit different, oh!
[Chorus:]
I feel like the world is on me
And I can change the world
I could change the world
I guess it''s true, true, true, yeah
I feel like the world is on me
And I can change the world
I could change the world
But it's up to you!
Some days I wake up form a dream, to feel [?]
One way or another I found the way to beg [?]
These [?] dreams can't make the man,
But the man can [?] dream
Close my eyes on another day, now I gotta wait and see
Some days I wanna [?]
One way or another I'm gonna reach you [?]
If the man don't wanna fight the war
But it's [?] here to die
Today might be our lucky day, gonna find out in due time
I don't know why but today I feel
A little bit different, oh!
[Chorus:]
I feel like the world is on me
And I can change the world
I could change the world
I guess it''s true, true, true, yeah
I feel like the world is on me
And I can change the world
I could change the world
But it's up to you!
I don't know why but today I feel
A little bit different, oh!
Say I, I feel
Like I could change, I could change the world!
One more time
Say I, I feel
Like I could change, I could change the world!
One more time
Say I, I feel
Like I could change, I could change the world!
But it's up to you, you, you!
First thing's first, I heard that
Everyone thinks they deserve a little fame and fortune
They want it all, have it all
Lastly that I find, I am 'bout to go for mine
I can't explain it, I want it, I have to have it all
Back from hiatus, let me be the first to say hi haters
Tailored slacks, raw labors
Substance, style, we all lust for the papers
School of hard knocks, no majors
Everyone's on ya tip, no waiters, still partying, no favors
Got Bacardi and some b*tches but no faders
And now you feel me and now you don't
I don't care, I lost my mind with my wallet
So I got no ideas, years of raising the bar and breaking in glass cheers
Who knew it'd be so stressful to be successful?
But now that I'm here, revenge is a dish best served cold
So use it as an F-U to those who test you
First thing's first, I heard that
Everyone thinks they deserve a little fame and fortune
They want it all, have it all
Lastly that I find, I am 'bout to go for mine
I can't explain it, I want it, I have to have it all
I want a house in the hills, not worry 'bout bills, I want it all
I want the flyest clothes and the finest hoes, I want it all
Don't care about greed, gimme what I need and so much more, I want it all
And you shoulda known better, oh you a go-getter, I go get it
Wanna be as big as Zeppelin but escalade to heaven forever
Kinda like infinity and beyond, I'm Buzz Lightyears ahead of 'em
They gas, I unleaded them, if they good, I'm better
First thing's first, I heard that
Everyone thinks they deserve a little fame and fortune
They want it all, have it all
Lastly that I find, I am 'bout to go for mine
I can't explain it, I want it, I have to have it all
[x2]
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
All our lives we're dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
For nights like these!
All our lives we're waiting, waiting, waiting
For nights like these!
Turn the lights down low
I don't wanna see the crowd cause I know
I made a bunch of calls tonight
To everyone I know, but no one could go.
What you think it's gonna happen?
Straight in the island of Manhattan
Couple struggling, standing there, clapping
Like who the hell is this rapping?
Fast forward years later
Jump right in without a life savior
Mind the details and... major
And I don't know what's next, but my mind seems made up
See what happens now
Is anyone care, so I'm asking around
And I'm starting from my... and I'm crashing down
And I'm on my own this time around
All our lives we're dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Oh for nights like these!
All our lives we're waiting, waiting, waiting
For nights like these!
Turn our radio loud
I close my eyes now, I see the whole crowd
Open out and start looking now
Like damn, this is weird, what a hell I do know?
A long ways for the long days
Trained to the city, walk a long pro way
Back down a long hallway
Hum for myself another song like always!
Just a care from the... that got lost in
The lights in town just blurred
That's why I keep going and the fire still burning
I found something... now I move forward
See what happens now
Does anyone care, so I ask around
I'm starting from my... I'm crashing down
I'm on my own, I crash around!
All our lives we're dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
For nights like these!
All our lives we're waiting, waiting, waiting
For nights like these!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For nights like these!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For nights like these!
Walking in the rain trying to clear my head
The city in that never sleeps, gotta find me a bed
I'll close my eyes and try to escape
The lonely nights and the minimum wage
New York City sounds good right now
Times are hard so let's drink to we what we've got
Take a shot and have some faith
Singing these long days will be they'll worth it when we're older
Weight is off our shoulders
I'll drink to that
I'll drink to that
I'll drink to that
Walking through the town that made me a man
Everyone here, tries the best that they can
When the weekend comes we pour our hearts in a glass
Raise it up and cheers May the good times last
New York City sounds good right now
Times are hard so let's drink to we what we've got
Take a shot and have some faith
Singing these long days will be they'll worth it when we're older
Weight is off our shoulders
I'll drink to that
I'll drink to that
I'll drink to that
So pour another round
This one's on me
A toast to our love and our family
And when the day grows old
May we look back and say
That we had our fun
We lived while we're young
Times are hard so let's drink to we what we've got
Take a shot and have some faith
Singing these long days will be they'll worth it when we're older
Weight is off our shoulders
I'll drink to that
Take a shot have some faith
I'll drink to that
We got to live while we're young
I'll drink to that
Take a shot have some faith
I'll drink to that
We got to live while we're young
I'll drink to that
Let's go!
Yeah, out the corner of my eye
I see the red light and I don't slow down
Down! Turn the one to see up ahead
Some place, some... that I don't go 'round
Another digging is this worth the time?
And it crossed my mind, somehow it's in vain
But I guess it's one step, and then goes the next
Can I get a good trick so that we can change?
And I remember when everyone said,
"You can't do it, get it out your head!"
And I remember when they said, "Don't try it!"
It ain't gonna make it, not, not this time!
Huh, I'm sorry you're wrong
And this the moment that I choose to cease
I used to wake up in a cold, cold sweat
And this cold cold world, now figure that please
I'm sorry this time
I'm not waiting or holding on!
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
In the back of my mind I stop to decide if this worth the fight
Right, keep her talking about the little things
When the big picture don't seem so bright!
Right! So flip on this...
And push on all your... way from the edge
But I guess it's one step and there goes the next
So I'm trying to get back from off that ledge!
And I remember when everyone said,
"You can't do it, get it out your head!"
And I remember when they said, "Don't try it!"
It ain't gonna make it, not, not this time!
Uh, and I'm sorry I'm wrong
You can drag it, next, next time
Take a number and wait another summer
On the back of the so called line, that's fine!
I'm sorry this time
I'm not waiting or holding on!
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
Let's go! That's right, let's go!
This word that we're living in it's going wrong
Just trying to make sense and pay my rent
Get back every cent that's ever been...
I promise to remember you now that you're gone
You never know when you can possible end this
Critics don't fall and the music don't spin
No! The music don't spin
No! The music don't spin
Here comes the end!
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
We're about to.
When we're...
And I'm moving alone
Ready set go! Gooo, gooo, gooo
No time like right now
Living up, living down
