Let's go back in time
When seeing your ID on mine
Made me crazy
Ooh baby I'm saying
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
I'm talking bout
Back in time
When you wanted to know my every move
Tired to keep it smooth
Keepin' up with me
You drove me crazy ohh baby
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
Want to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go
[Chorus-]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love
Let's go back in time
When our kiss was brand new
An adventure not perfected
A little hesitant
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
Take it back in time
When forever was a minute, and eternity was a second
I'm stressing that we have to go back there
Let's take it there.
When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
Want to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go
[Chorus-]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love
Ooh baby, let's go
[Chorus-]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love

We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love
[Em, C, G, D]
Em
Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her.
Used to jump up in the Maybach and roll out.
C
Used to care, she used to share...
The love that she used to give me can't be found.
G
I lost my way, she said she'd stay.
And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost!
D
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold.
Em
That was before the great depression kicked in and rocked us.
C
And that was before the hurricane, came in and stopped us.
D
I told you to leave, but you lied to me...
When you said that,
D
baby no worries I promise to get us back.
Chorus
Em
I know sorries, just wouldn't do it.
C
Her heart is obliterated, I'm tryna' travel through,
G
But it's like moving mountains...
D
It's like moving mountains... hey.
Em
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change...
C
And the sky turns grey, and the water from the rain washes progress away.
G
It's like moving mountains...
D
It's like moving mountains...
Verse 1 Like a rainy Sunday mornin'
Makes me wanna stay in bed twisted up all day long
You're my inspiration, girl
You take me places, put the words right into these songs
Stealin' kisses under cover, babe
See forever when I see your face
And I swear, God made you for me
Chous: You make it easy lovin' up on you
Make it easy with every little thing you do
You're my sunshine in the darkest days
My better half, my savin' grace
You make me who I wanna be
You make it easy
Verse 2: You took all my rough around the edges
Never let it ruffle up your feathers, angel
Yeah, I'm down for life, you got me wrapped around your finger
And I like it just in case you can't tell
Chorus
Stealin' kisses under cover, babe
See forever when I see your face
And I swear, God made you for me

Yeah, Its been a ride
I guess i had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If youre trying to get out, just follow me
Ill get you there
[Chorus]
C Ab
Im not afraid to take a stand
Eb Bb
Everybody come take my hand
C
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Ab
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Eb
Just let you know that, youre not alone
Bb C
Hola if you feel that youve been down the same road
[Verse 1]
C
You can try to read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay em
Ab
But you wont take the sting out these words before I say em
Eb
Cause aint no way Imma let you stop me from causing mayhem
Bb
When I say Imma do somethin I do it,
C
I dont give a damn what you think,
Im doin this for me, so fuck the world
Ab
Feed it beans, its gassed up,
if you think yo' stoppin me
Eb
Imma be what I set out to be,
without a doubt undoubtedly
Bb
And all those who look down on me
Im tearing down your balcony
C
No if ands or buts, dont try to ask him why or how can he
Ab
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album,
Eb
hes still shittin whether hes on salary, paid hourly
Bb
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
C
Whichever comes first,
for better or worse
Ab
Hes married to the game,
like a fuck you for Christmas
Eb
His gift is a curse,
forget the earth hes got the urge
Bb
To pull his dick from the dirt
and fuck the whole Universe
[Chorus]
C Ab
Im not afraid to take a stand
Eb Bb
Everybody come take my hand
C
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Ab
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Eb
Just let you know that, youre not alone
Bb C
Hola if you feel that youve been down the same road
[Verse 2]
Ok quit playin with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldnt have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know its a rap
You said you was king,
you lied through your teeth
For that, fuck your feelings,
instead of getting crowned youre getting capped
And to the fans, Ill never let you down again, Im back
I promise to never go back on that promise,
in fact, Lets be honest,
that last Relapse CD was ehhhh
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I aint going back to that now
All Im tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW
Cause I aint playin around
Theres a game called circle and I dont know how
Im way too up to back down
But I think Im still tryna figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didnt
This f-cking black cloud still follows,
me around But its time to exercise these demons
These motherfu-kers are doing jumping jacks now!
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I just cant keep living this way
So starting today, Im breaking out of this cage
Im standing up, Imma face my demons
Im manning up, Imma hold my ground
Ive had enough, now Im so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now
[Verse 3]
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
And dont even realise what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they can do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
My World, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead
No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on, I promise
To focus solely on handling my responsibilitys as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldnt lift a single shingle on it
Cause the way I feel, Im strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause Im raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But Im too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and
[Chorus]
Im not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, youre not alone
Holla if you feel that youve been down the same road
Intro-
G C F C G
G C
Don't go for second best baby
F C
Put your love to the test
G
You know, you know, you've got to
G C
Make him express how he feels
F C G
And maybe then you'll know your love is real
G F
You don't need diamond rings
F
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
G
You know they never last, no, no
G F
What you need is a big strong hand
G
To lift you to your higher ground
F
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
G
Make him love you till you can't come down
(chorus)
Long stem roses are the way to your heart
But he needs to start with your head
Satin sheets are very romantic
What happens when you're not in bed
You deserve the best in life
So if the time isn't right then move on
Second best is never enough
You'll do much better baby on your own
(chorus)
G
Express yourself
C
You've got to make him
F
Express himself
C G
Hey, hey, hey, hey
C
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
F C G
Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
F G
And when you're gone he might regret it
F
Think about the love he once had
G
Try to carry on, but he just won't get it
He'll be back on his knees
G
To express himself
C
You've got to make him
F G7sus4
Express himself

Hey hey

Em Em D6/9 D6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
Em D6/9
On the first part of the journey
Em D6/9
I was looking at all the life
Em D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D6/9
And the sky with no clouds
Em D6/9
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D6/9
But the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Em D6/9
After two days in the desert sun
Em D6/9
My skin began to turn red
Em D6/9
After three days in the desert fun
Em D6/9
I was looking at a river bed
Em D6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 3]
Em D6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D6/9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D6/9
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
Em D6/9
And a perfect disguise above
Em D6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D6/9
But the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all.
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
(D) (A) (E)
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
If you close your eyes
Middle 8 is the same as verse
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all,
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
E
I'm gonna write a little letter,
E
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.

It's a rockin' rhythm record

I want my jockey to play.

That I'll never fall in love with you again

Good intentions you had many

Didn't think it'd come to this

To have it swept away

Don't think I can take the pain

No never fall again

We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller
C#m D
We say to girls You can have ambition. But not too much
C#m D
You should aim to be successful. But not too successful Otherwise you will threaten the man.
C#m D
Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage
C#m D
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important
C#m D
Now marriage can be a source of. Joy and love and mutual support
C#m D
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same?
C#m D
We raise girls to each other as competitors, not for jobs or for accomplishments, which
I think can be a good thing
C#m D
But for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings, in the
way that boys are

Feminist- the person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes

Ya can't be mad at me

What it really feels like to miss me

Pack your bags up and leave,

Dm Am
You said it was one of your friends down on 54th St.
Dm Am
So why did 213 show up on your caller I.D.
Dm Am
I've been through all of this before, so how could you think,
Dm
that I would stand around and take some more,
Am
things are gonna change.
Dm Am
I've been through all of this before, that's why you have to leave,
Dm
So don't turn around to see my face,
Am Dm
there's no more fears and tears for you to see.
Am
3. Was it really worth you going out like that, tell me!
Dm Am
See I'm moving on, and I refuse to turn back .

New York
Verse 1-
New York City makes dreams come true
What a perfect place for my musical debut
I hear the city never sleeps it just keeps rolling on through
So on to Gotham City on a super jet plane I flew
Verse 2
Anticipation and uncertainty, try to get the best of me
This challenge I'm about to face is laced with millions just like me
Who travel from the ends of end to get to where I want to be
Putting all they've got onto one hot shot to prove themselves relentlessly
Pre-chorus-
Rewind, cause I can't focus on these trivial things
Gotta keep my mind in motion, take whatever it brings
Chorus-
Here I am in NYC, the capitol of the world
Far from my hometown Houston, far for this Texas girl
Here I am in Empire City
I'm on top of the world
New York, New York
New York
Verse 3-
Sure ain't pleasant Texas, no friendly passer-bys
Just stressed out suits stressing 'bout their push and go lives
No driving slow on Sunday Mornings or watching clouds go by
Just busy streets with crazy cabbies fighting over traffic lights
Verse 4-
You'd think a Texas Tornado was on a path of destruction
The way the public scurries home after the daily grind function
Some ease the tension with a PBR, the cheapest they make
Some drop mad cash on a bottle now that's extravagant taste

That she's my buttercup

My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this soul of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine

Then they made up the [D] hay;
It's been more than a [G] long, long time
Since I held you and [D] called you mine,
And we waited for the [A] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [D] day. [G,D]
[D] To wake in the [G] early morn
To the sound of the [D] old fog horn,
And wait for the [A] men to return
With their boats in the [D] bay;
All these things I don't [G] see no more
When I lived on the [D] old cape shore,
And I gazed on the [A] boats on the moors
On a grey foggy [D] day, [G,D]
Chorus:
[D] Summer days they were [G] warmer then
When we laughed with the [D] old fishermen,
And they cursed when the [A] fog rolled in,
Then they made up the [D] hay;
It's been more than a [G] long, long time
Since I held you and [D] called you mine,
And we waited for the [A] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [D] day. [G,D]
[D] And as long as my [G] heart,
Doesn't break from those old [D] memories,
Old lovers and [A] old use-to-bes,
I'll come home for to [D] stay;
I can still hear the [G] ocean roar
Through the hills on the [D] old cape shore,
There are no fishing [A] boats anymore
But it's a grey foggy, [D] foggy day. [G,D]
Chorus:
[D] Summer days they were [G] warmer then
When we laughed with the [D] old fishermen,
And they cursed when the [A] fog rolled in,
Then they made up the [D] hay;
It's been more than a [G] long, long time
Since I held you and [D] called you mine,
And we waited for the [A] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [D] day. [G,D]
And I pray that the [A] sun will shine ....[STOP]
On this grey foggy [D] day.

I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known
(G) (Dsus2) (Asus2) (Em)
Don't know where it goes, But it's home to me and I walk alone
(Em)(G)(Dsus2)(Asus2)
(Em) (G) (Dsus2) (Asus2) (Em)
I walk this empty street, On the Boulevard of broken dreams
(G) (Dsus2) (Asus2) (Em)
Where the city sleeps, And I'm the only one and I walk alone
(Em)(G)(Dsus2) (Asus2) (Em)
I walk alone, I walk alone.

I walk alone, I walk a....

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
(C) (G) (Dsus2) (Asus2)
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
(C) (G) (Dsus2) (Asus2)
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
(C) (G) (E7)
Till then I walk alone

(Repeat chord patterns for the rest of the song.)
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs, to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a....
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah I walk alone, I walk a....

CHORUS
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray
G D Em
But your picture on my wall
C D
It reminds me that it's not so bad
G D Em
It's not so bad
(The whole song continues in that chord progression)
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all
C D
The morning rain clouds up my window
G D Em
And I can't see at all
C D
And even if I could it'll all be gray

But your picture on my wall
C D
It reminds me that it's not so bad
C
It's not so bad
1ST VERSE
Em C D
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin
G D Em
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
C D
I sent two letters back in Autumn, you must not have got 'em
G D
There probably was a problem with the post office or somethin'
Em C D
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
G D Em
But anyway, what's been up man, how's your daughter?
C
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
D C
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her
Em
I'm a name her Bonnie
C
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
D G D Em
I had a friend kill himself over some b**** who didn't want him
C D
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan
G D Em
I even got that underground s*** that you did with Skam
C D
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
G D Em
I like that s*** you did with Rawkus too, that s*** was phat
C
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back
D C
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

2ND VERSE
Em C
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance,
D G Em
I ain't mad, I think it's just f***** up that you don't answer fans
C
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
D G D
You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew
Em C
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
D
We waited in the blistering cold for you
G D Em
For four hours and you just said no
C
That's pretty s****y man, you're like his f***ing idol
D C Em
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
C
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to
C G D
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
Em C
You would write back, see I'm just like you in a way
D
I never knew my father neither
G D Em
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
C
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
D G D
So when I have a s****y day, I drift away and put em on
Em C
Cause I don't really got s*** else, so that s*** helps when I'm depressed
D C
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Em C
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
D G D
Its like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
Em C
See everthing you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
D G D
My girlfriend's jealous, because I talk about you 24/7
Em C
But she don't know you like I know you slim, no one does
D G D
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
Em C
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
D
Sincerely yours, Stan, p.s.
C
We should be together too
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why
G D Em
Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

3RD VERSE
Em C D
Dear Mr I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans
G D
This'll be the last package I ever send your a**
Em
It's been six months and still no words
C
I don't deserve it
D
I know you got my last two letters
G D
I wrote the addresses on them perfect
Em C
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
D G D
I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on the freeway
Em C D
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?
C
You know that song by Phil Collins, In the Air of the Night
Em C
About that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning
D G D
But didn't, but Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him
Em C
That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning
D G D
Now it's too late, I'm on a 1,000 downers now, I'm drowsy
Em C
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
D G D
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall
Em C D
I love you Slim, we could've been together, think about it
C Em
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
C
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
D G D Em
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
C
See Slim, shut up b****, I'm trying to talk
D G D
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
Em C
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
D G D Em
Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, then she'll die too
C D
Well, gotta go, I'm almost under the bridge now
C
Oh s***, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this s*** out?
Em C D C (2x)
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy
D G D
You say your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Em C
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
D
And here's an autograph for your brother
G D Em
I wrote it on this Starter cap
C
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you
D G D Em
Don't think I did that s*** intentionally just to dis you
C D
But what's that s*** you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
D
I say that s*** just clownin' dog
Em
C'mon, how f***ed up is you?
C
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling
D G D Em
To keep your a** from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
C
And what's this s*** about us meant to be together?
D G D Em
That type of s*** will make me not want us to meet each other
C
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
D G
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
D Em C
I hope you get to read this letter, I hope it reaches you in time
D C
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
Em C
If you relax a little, I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan
D G D Em
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
C
I just don't want you to do some crazy s***
D G D Em
I seen this one s*** on the news a couple of weeks ago that made me sick
C
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
D G D
And had his girlfriend in his trunk and she was pregnant with his kid
Em C
And in the car they found a tape, didn't say who it was to
D C Em
Come to think about it, his name was, it was you...
Em
Damn

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait, without you

With or without you With or without you
[Verse 2]
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
[Chorus]
With or without you With or without you ahah
I can't live With or without you
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
And you give yourself away And you give yourself away
And you give And you give And you give yourself away
[Verse 3]
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away And you give yourself away
And you give And you give And you give yourself away

Am
We do not exist in
G
Any other instant
Dm
Here in this dimension
F
You and I are meant to be
Am
I have waited lifetimes to find you
G
Now that you're here
I can remind you
Dm
Of the things you've been dreamin'
Times two
F
I promise you
Am
If you just give me 24
G
Man, all I need is 24 hours
Dm
I promise you'll want plenty more
F
You'll probably be with it forever
Am G
So how does it sound
Us on the ground
Dm F
Giving you my love?
Am G
There's no place quite like here
Dm
There's no better time than now
F
You gotta stay ready
Am G
There's no place quite like here
Dm
There's no better time than now
F
That's why I stay ready
(continue playing Am G Dm F)
Tell me find your spot with the warning that I might slip
And when you climb on top that's the ultimate road trip
Ride on my like your Pac got me thinkin' it's 96'
I can rap on some nineties shit, wrap your leggings around my hip
I'm so hip to it tourists want to come speculate
But if I stay monogamous promise this kiss will always taste like candy
And yea, it's obvious momma now probably can't stand me
I'm sure they're tired of this look that you have when you're antsy
We gon' fuck around (Mm) we gon' fuck around
And triple through triplets of babies right now
And that might break the record and no, that don't mean you're fertile
That means we're fucking reckless, plus we don't use protection
I find myself reading old text messages when I'm bored
We find ourselves sexting 'til that connection is restored
I know that sounds immature, but if we never grow up
Then I wish you good luck on the seas that's inside this wall
Am
Come to me
Come, come to me
G
Look at what you've done to me
You put a gun to me
Dm
Then you brought the sun to me
Shine like blood diamonds
F
Learning to have patience
Only cause you are timeless
Am
The universe energy doesn't lie
G
And this chemistry is infinity at a million
Times
Dm
I wrote a million rhymes to scrabble your
Star power
F
Now the 24 bars, you get 24 hours
Am
All that I know is right now
G
Nothing's for sure but, right now
Dm F
Gotta get yours like, right now, right now
Am
All that I know is right now
G
Nothing's for sure but, right now
Dm F
Gotta get yours like, right now, right now
Am
I been through some shit man
But I be on my shit man
G
I decided
That what you give
Is what you're given
Dm
So I been tryna do it right
I been doin' like
F
Whatever gets me through the night
What a life

I'm steady always on the go
Dm
You steady always on the go
F
We steady losin' all control
What a life
They say
Am
The truth ain't pretty
But comin' from that pretty mouth
G
The truth is fitting
'Cause you ain't never talkin' loud
Dm
And you know plenty
Yea you know what I'm talkin' bout

Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart
So I’ll taste every moment

Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd

You stumble again and bump your head, if not for me then you'd be dead.
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground.
Refrain.
Refrain as a verse.
Refrain.
Chorus: I Am A sinner Who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me Lord forgive me Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone don't kill my vibe don't kill my vibe
I can feel your energy from two planets away
I got my drink I got my music I will share it but today I'm yelling
don't kill my vibe don't kill my vibe
Verse 1: Look inside my soul and you can find gold and maybe get rich
Look inside of your soul and you can find out it never exist
I can feel the changes / I can feel a new life/ I always knew life can be dangerous
I can say that I like a challenge and you tell me it's painless / You don't know what pain is
How can I paint this picture / When the color blind is hanging with ya
Fell on my face and I woke with a scar / Another mistake living deep in my heart
Buried on top of my sleeve in a flick /I can admit that it did look like yours
Why you resent every making of this /Tell me your purpose is petty again
But even a small lighter can burn a bridge .Even a small lighter can burn a bridge
I can feel the changes / I can feel the new people around me just want to be famous
You can see that my city found me then put me on stages
To me that's amazing / To you that's a quick check, with all disrespect let me say this
Verse 2: I'm trying to keep it alive and not compromise the feeling we love
You trying to keep it deprived and only co-sign what radio does And I'm looking right past ya
We live in a world, we live in a world on two different axles
You live in a world, you living behind the mirror
I know what you scared of, the feeling of feeling emotions inferior
This shit is vital, I know you had to / This shit is vital,
I know you had to Die in a pitiful vain, tell me a watch and a chain
Is way more believable, give me a feasible gain Rather a seasonal name,
I'll let the people know this is something you can blame On yourself you can remain, stuck in a box
Ima break out and then hide every lock / Ima break out and then hide every lock
I can feel the changes / I can feel the new people around me just want to be famous
You can see that my city found me then put me on stages To me that's amazing
To you that's a quick check, with all disrespect let me say this
Verse 3: You ain't heard a chorus like this in a long time
Don't you see that long line
And they waiting on Kendrick like the 1st and the 15th
3's in the air I can see you are - in sync
Hide your feelings, hide your feelings now what you better do
I'll take your girlfriend and put that pussy on a pedestal
don't kill my vibe . don't kill my vibe /Walk out the door and they scream it's alive
My new year's resolution is to stop all the pollution
Talk too motherfucking much, I got my drink I got my music I say - don't kill my vibe
don't kill my vibe / don't kill my vibe / don't kill my vibe

Oh, girl, I second that emotion
I've got the power
I've got the power
Like the crack of the whip, I Snap attack
Front to back, in this thing called rap
Dinging like a cymbal, rhyme devil on the heavenly level
Bang the bass, turn up the treble
Radical mind, day and night all the time
7-14, wise divine
Maniac brainiac, winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Quality I possess and say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they all Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice don't see
So peace, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
Quality I possess, and say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they all Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice don't see
So peace, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I Can't Help How Much I Miss You
Chorus-
Baby I love you when you're here
I hate you when you're gone
I don't really hate you
I just hate the fact you're gone
And when you're so far away
I feel like I'm gonna break
'cause I just want to kiss you
I can't help how much I miss you
I can't help how much I miss you
Verse 1-
Well I know that you're working hard
'Cause that's my love, the man you are
I'm so proud of you for all that you do
And you and me make one great team
Together baby, we'll succeed
I know that we will, if not I'll love you still
Pre-
But the road feels like it's getting longer
I know it'll make us strong
but I can't wait till I can see your face again
Chorus-
Bridge-
Oh, and my favorite kiss
is the one that I get
when you lean in to kiss me goodbye
Then you turn and you say
Try to not count the days
But that's all that's keeping me alive
repeat Verse 1-( )
repeat pre-
I know that I'm in your thoughts
And I know that I'm in your heart
But I can't wait till I can see your face again
So if I come across to you
Unlike how I usually do
Sometimes it gets so hard I lose my way
Oh baby I love your way
Everyday yeah
I wanna be with you night and day
