Epps formed the hip hop duo Playaz Circle (the word "Playaz" being an acronym of Preparing Legal Assets for Years from A to Z) in College Park, Georgia in 1997 with his high school friend Earl Conyers, who became known under his recording name Dolla Boy. Following the release on an independent album titled United We Stand, United We Fall, the duo were introduced to fellow rapper Ludacris when he moved into their College Park apartment complex whilst he was acting as a disc jockey: after he took an interest in Playaz Circle, he began to record several songs with the group, playing some of them on his radio station.

I met a man today, he said boy don't be scared
I'll catch you when you fall, I've been here all along
I've been calling out your name
Its time you unravel the heart you tied so tight
It got ripped in the fray
Left by my side, you become light
Don't ever be afraid, you took me by surprise
Freed from disguise, it's written on the page
You'll never be the same, never be the same
All the people stopped and stared
They said hey boy, you oughta love from your heart
Not from a broken mind
And all in all your worlds away
I was so scared to find the little boy inside
He said, die before you die
Left by my side, you become light
Don't ever be afraid, you took me by surprise
Freed from disguise, it's written on the page
You'll never be the same, never be the same
I adore by surprise, always be there for all to see
tonight
When we fall, and we fall
You will know
With my word, in the world
You will go
Left by my side, you become light
Don't ever be afraid, you took me by surprise
Freed from disguise, it's written on the page
You'll never be the same, you'll never be the same
Left by my side, you become light
Don't ever be afraid, you took me by surprise
Freed from disguise, it's written on the page
You'll never be the same, never be the same
You'll never be the same, I'll never be the same
All it takes is an honest mistake
Now I find you here
You’ve been here before
You tripped up over your shadow
Why did you run
Why did you run
When I’m right here
It’s all gonna be the same
When you get there
Now that we see the signs
Can we walk this line TOGETHER
Now that we know ITS TIME
Can we walk this line TOGETHER
Late September, all I remember is you dear
With the falling leaves I get back on my knees to
surrender
This is the day we come to say
All of the pain has come and gone away
This is the ONE WING DOVE
All that you wished for somehow arrive
You should stand at the gates with your questions aside
How will you know if this is for real this time?
A dollar in your pocket, you got five on the line
You’ve been through the wash you’ve been hung out to dry
This time you know for sure it’s real
Would you be the one to fight for love
Would you stand the gun to bring it on
Would you be the one to fight for love?
Cause the best you’ve had is yet to come…
You’ve followed your nose to the end of the line
Singing you’ve come this far, now this is your time!
This time you know for sure it’s real, this time
All this time I have ignored the signs
Yet out of the dark will surely come the light
Although he knew that he shouldn’t have
Billy had the time of his life
She made him drinks from her surest hand
And soon he was drunk
He played the fields in the finest hour
Dancing in the heat of the sun
They stayed together hand in hand
Oh could be love
Slow down there Romeo
Let the wind pick up your sails
Wait and see for the summertime
If the sun will melt her veil
While the love you share is the bottom line
The rest is up for sale,
So don’t save the world, just say you love her
And, la li la li la li la
The fire she kept for him in her eyes
Billy knew that he could get burned
Get hypnotized by a strange delight
He burned… and he burned
He sung the tune of a thousand men
Being in the heat of his prime
He sold his pride for a dollar ten
She moves me
She takes me in
It feels like the first time
She find me
She blinds me
Yet she opens my eyes
Take this love
It calls your name
No need to walk alone
From nowhere to now here
She lives inside me
Oh heavens here tonight
She wakes me up just in time
Now she’s beside me
I feel I could die tonight
It’s time to feel the glow
My heard bleeds to grow up now
It’s out of control for fear of being held down
It’s the truth I wanna know
It’s the wake up call to love
The burning and beating of
A heart that hears the sound
Call it a new day
The night has come and gone
Tomorrow’s just a dream my friend
So today we can let it go
So forgive me oh my friend
I’ve lost my own defense
Now my heart leads me
Everyday I make amends
I can see beyond the clouds
The sunshine washes over me
It’s washing away the doubt
In all the world and all its riches
You and I have made it through the night
We will survive
Torn apart by all this distance
Somehow we have found the strength to fight
We will survive
Now we’re gonna have to
Spend time to feed the lions
With the weight of the world
We will cross the GREAT DIVIDE
It takes some time to figure out
To walk this path without a doubt
I’ll find you there
I’ll find you there
In all the tricks and all the treason
You and I have found no reason to cry
We hold the light
We paid the price of darker seasons
You and I will plant the seeds tonight
We hold the light
I’ve been looking for gold while sittin’ on diamonds
Been stalling my way to love for all these years
I thought on all that was, and all that could have been
Now all I want to do is be
Back turned to an open door
Look around for something more
You’re always waiting for the moment to arrive
When it’s right here
Been hitting fist to glove while living in silence
Been searching tail to toe just to find you near
I thought on all that won't be, and all that could have
been
Now all I want to do is be
All I wanna do, all I wanna do
Back turned to an open door
Look around for something more
You’re always waiting for the moment to arrive
When it’s right here
Back turned to an open door
Look around for something more
You’re always waiting for the moment to arrive
When it’s right here
When it’s right here
When it’s right here
Desert Rose, bleed again
Take this love I have to your sand
All the world, in all the hands
It’s the final word, So
Waiting to see your face
Like a moth to the flame
We can only be friends.
Say love to the one you unveil,
If you only believe
I will always prevail, always prevail
Oh the man, where you go
Changing all these things
Where for love, where you stand
Hey your simonjè
Waiting to see your face
Like a moth to the flame
We can only be friends.
Say love to the one you unveil
If you only believe
I will always prevail
Always awaiting to see your face
Like a moth to a flame
We will always be friends.
Say love to the one you unveil
If you always believe
Blue on Blue
I have a view
Blue on Blue
In the warm slow hours
I long to gaze on you
The illusory line, boundless sky on sea
Her ancient rhythm, that’s enough for me
Sweet simple pleasures, loaded with thrill
The flash of your smile with your eyes on me
And I pray our love will guide us through
Blue on Blue
I in delight breathe in her life
Warm night still, black with Diamond Eyes
All worlds within, no worlds without
There’s a tale
Told by soldiers
Of two sons and their father
As they sailed to old Palestine
True were these brothers
They sailed to bury their father
They would fight for Jerusalem
You will be meek when I am able
You’ll be the salt upon the table
When all is said and done could you
Somehow be sons of Abraham
I was told by a stranger
Of a young blood thrown to the desert
He united a people with his hands
In the wane to the crescent
He fed the lion to the pheasant
He would stride to the spring of Zam Zam
There’s a tale told by soldiers
A young boy taken to slaughter
He was saved by his father’s hand
He was prized and protected
And prince he was elected
He was to save the wolves with a lamb
There’s a tomb out by Jordan
Where two sides stop to adore him
Would you be there when the Empire falls
Faces change, people talk
Vote for a fool and you go to War
When the bow breaks
Would you be there when the Ocean Comes
To clean the state of mistakes we made
You eat rotten apples, you vomit out snakes
Don’t you See
Don’t you See
Don’t you See that man
Who won’t stop for anyone?
Would you be there at the end of the day
The lights are out, the future’s gone
Will you be there, when the bow breaks
Will you be there, to take the throne
To hold the flare of truth ALONE
The old will die for you to stand, RISE UP
When the bow breaks
I can only tell you I won’t make you
Be that man again
It may shake me but won’t break me
Time heals the things we say
Good things come to those who stay
We could've believed in love
Time, time goes by
The wars between us die
For all that's passed us by
We're gonna believe in love
Time reveals all the pain
And that you and I will come again
To say we believe in love
Time, time goes by
The wars between us die
For all that's passed us by
We're gonna believe in love now
Time steals our breath away
You and I still have our day
To say we believe in love
Time, time goes by
The wars between us die
For all that's passed us by
We're gonna believe in love
We're gonna believe in love
Time, time goes by
The wars between us die
For all that's passed us by
Here we are, here to mark time
Many things will come, things I couldn't hide from
At first I try to run, no one here to run from
So I edge towards the gun, I'm everyone I've fired on
I surrender all I've won, the winnings I relied upon
Now I turn to everyone, one face to the crowd
Have you seen the water break
Standing on the edge of time
In the turning 'round
Have you been out past the break
Have you gone over the edge
In the turning 'round
Here we are, here to mark time
Many things have come, things I couldn't hide from
At first I try to run, no one here to run from
So I edge towards the gun, I'm everyone I've fired on
I surrender all I've won, the winnings I relied upon
Now I turn to everyone, one face to the crowd
Have you seen the water break
Standing on the edge of time
In the turning 'round
Have you been out past the break
Have you gone over the edge
In the turning round
Have you seen the water break
Standing on the edge of time
In the turning 'round
Have you been out past the break
Have you gone over the edge
In the turning round
I waken to find, the wars between lovers
With thorns in my side, boy you're ready to go
So walk out the door, we've been hurting each other
This time I'll wait knowing you will return
There's a song to be sung by the lonely again
And each time the band marches on and says
Understand what I mean, when I stand up and fight
For my life, for the up, for the upside
Understand what I mean, when I stand up and fight
For my life, for the up, for the upside
In distance we find, the wars in each other
We're each one's own crime, now it's time that we own
We're two souls entwined, we've been running for cover
So come up for air girl, you're ready to know
There's a song to be sung by the lonely again
And each time the band marches on and says
Understand what I mean, when I stand up and fight
For my life, for the up, for the upside
With your eyes, you can trace, like a child that won't
disgrace
On your feet, you can face, what tomorrow has in place
Here we are, you and I, as lovers we embrace
We're singing out, heyeah, heyeah, oh
Love will be the one thing you serve
Love will be the one thing, the one thing
Love will be the one thing you serve
Love will be the one thing, the one thing
In the fields, by the bay, there's lives just wasting
away
You can fight, you can pray, or is there nothing left
to say
Stay the road or exit, and just walk away
We're singing out, heyeah, heyeah, oh
Love will be the one thing you serve
Love will be the one thing, the one thing
Love will be the one thing you serve
Love will be the one thing, the one thing
Love will be the one thing you serve
This love will be the one thing, the one thing
So what if I fall, deeply and fall, out of your love
into the wayside
Would you sing me a line, some words to entwine
Cause I got the fever, what's the wait for
You blow me away, I'm down on my knees
This love's a disease that I would pay for
You die before you die
And love's the reason why
Love will be the one thing you serve
Love will be the one thing, the one thing
Love will be the one thing you serve
This love will be the one thing, the one thing
Love will be the one thing you serve
This love will be the one thing, the one thing
Love will be the one thing you serve
Love will be the one thing, the one thing
Love will be the one thing you serve
Love will be the one thing, the one thing

Lately I've felt out of place
It's not that I fell out of grace
It's something that's inside
Something I can't hide
Making me feel out of place
Waking up shining
Knowing that I don't belong
It's something that I cannot say
That's keeping all the world away
Every time I try
To say what's on my mind
It's something that I cannot say
Waking up shining
Knowing that I don't belong
Waking up shining
Knowing that I don't belong
Couldn't rely on all we've come to know
We couldn't survive on land and sea alone
Couldn't rely on all we've come to know
Lately I can hesitate
I'm the one to make me wait
I've waited on the side
With all I had to hide
Now my feet are on the plate
Waking up shining
Knowing that I don't belong
So maybe this is just my fate
Something to appreciate
All the years I've tried
To take it in my stride
Maybe I'm just out of place
Waking up shining
Knowing that I don't belong
Waking up shining
Knowing that I don't belong
Couldn't rely on all we've come to know
We couldn't survive on land and sea alone
Couldn't rely on all we've come to know
Waking up shining
Knowing that I don't belong
All in all we made pact, gonna do this to the end
What always was and always will be right
Now the past has passed away, gonna open up our minds
To all that lives beyond the firing line
Now that we found that it's over
Don't dream this is over
Believe this is real, you and I
The truth becomes louder and clearer
With space we've come nearer
And all that was real reignites
Between you and I
Shaping up the times have changed, gonna open up the
It always was and always will be light
Take your time to find a way, gonna find it in the end
Nature has a way of being right
Now that we found that it's over
Don't dream this is over
Believe this is real, you and I
The truth becomes louder and clearer
With space we've come nearer
And all that was real reignites
Between you and I
When all the world has passed away
There's another day, another way
When all the world has passed away
There's another day, another way
Now that we found that it's over
Don't dream this is over
Believe this is real, you and I
The truth becomes louder and clearer
With space we've come nearer
And all that was real reignites
Don't dream this is over
Be louder and bolder
Don't dream this is over
Be louder and bolder
Don't dream this is over
Be louder and bolder
Don't dream this is over
The sun is falling on New York City
There's so many things that I could say to you
That I'll never say
There's so many places we could go
There's so many faces, I could tell
Just by the way you walk, that tonight you're from New
York
Walking down the avenues
Where mysteries are often solved
On the island with the tallest apple tree
Where animals ride bicycles
And men become cannon balls
Lovers ride the famous wonder wheel
There's so many things that I could say to you
That I'll never say
There's so many places we could go
There's so many faces, I could tell
Just by the way you walk, that tonight you're from New
York
And tonight I'm from New York
Honey you're not the only one to sail across the world
To be here
Put your dreams in your pocket, girl It takes more than
charm
It takes fever
So sweat it out and take this chance tonight
Tomorrow may not be here
It's the city that takes a fight and stares you down
Are you ready to be here
Are you ready to be here
Tonight
There's so many things that I could say to you
That I'll never say
There's so many places we could go
There's so many faces, I could tell
Just by the way you walk, that tonight you're from New
York
Oh, and tonight I'm from New York
Send somebody, s-send somebody
(X 4)
The captain of the ship and his fighting soldiers
On a mission for peace, his heart grows colder
Animals, it's what we're waiting for
Each and all their cryin' daughters
Open up their hearts for slaughter
Animals, it's what we're waiting for
You've seen the butterfly
And you won't believe
You won't believe
Still waiting to fly
You've seen the butterfly
And it won't be long
It won't be long
Waiting to fly
Cheek to cheek in a crowded ballroom
Into the wild they dance 'til fallen
Animals, it's what we're waiting for
Silently they whisper words they want to see
Images all, Animals
You've seen the butterfly
And you won't believe
You won't believe
You're waiting to fly
You've seen the butterfly
And it won't be long
It won't be long
You're waiting to fly
Send somebody, s-send somebody (send somebody)
Send somebody, s-send somebody (please send somebody)
grandma's singing in the bedroom
it's a near forgotten lullaby
that she used to sing when I wasn't well
father's outside chopping firewood
like he did when he'd been drinking
or when he and mom were at it again
grandpa's rocking chair is rocking
I can hear the wood complaining
and the idle taps as he empties his pipe
I do my best to just ignore them
but the sound always finds me
despite them being dead and gone
I hear them all the time
I hear them all the time
I hear them all the time
I hear them all the time
I hear you all the time
I feel you in my mind
I cannot sleep, but I'm tryin'
