Ya see I got a lot of things That I really wanna say And that I really need you to know We live a life full of hesitation Maybe it's time that we get up and go And I wanna let you know That if you find your dreams come true Maybe it's not so bad But we don't talk too much these days You and me don't get along anymore And there's no way to fake it You and me can't get along anymore But nothing's forever You You said that we were wrong You said that we belong I know, I know, I know And you know, and you know, and you know You and me don't get along anymore And there's no way to fake it You and me can't get along anymore But it won't last forever (Stoop lee) Shoulda warned me in advance Same thing that put me in a trance Watch me rewind, relapse Remind me that's inside me past what's passed Prolly get high off contact Contact me through the chest Contact you while you rest I don't even lie, I confess I ain't even try My intent - we gon' fly A ribbon in the sky so immense You feel it right? No sixth sense You got your hard of hearts, but my sixteens dent Yeah my sixteen's dense Fade to black and back to master plan - save the town. Never seen a dark knight shine to now, huh Come through, everybody slow down Turn the lights off Slow down, slow mo I'm your new slow bro Come through, everybody know, got a new flow I got a nappy little fro but you love it We going so high, rise about it like You and me don't get along anymore And there's no way to fake it You and me can't get along anymore But it won't last forever (group chant) You and me don't get along anymore And there's no way to fake it You and me can't get along anymore But it won't last forever ***ORIGINAL POETRY BY ASHTEN KALE Savannah, remember when you called me When I was walking down the street And the wind was blowing, it was too dark to see And you said, "Somehow in my grand imagination You will remember me poppy-lipped; My bare skin covered with what you've done; Hiroshima kisses and nuclear bomb words" And then you told me you loved me Her little wings tapped against the golden plastic blinds "Is this infinite enough for you?" she asked I was so dazed, I forgot to smile And then my senses told me to, and I said "Yes, Plenty infinite." She jumped down from the platform and penetrated the floorboards; I broke the glass and sunk into the basement Singing in spirals, I caught her on the way to the bottom As we dropped gently onto the plush concrete; Cushioning kisses and killer passionate blisses Until sleepy morning dismisses Do you remember when I picked you up and put you in the air? You started biting on my body, and I start grabbing your hair I don't miss those days, no, I don't really miss em I try to tell myself that I don't miss em, can't dismiss em, They be running through my mind all day There's nothing I can do And I miss you

Words, they don't mean nothing They don't mean nothing when you tell me That they're anything more than words Cos you've been at the forefront of my mind Reducing me to nothing every time Every time You can't understand Anything I tell ya You're saying I'm your man Then you find another I ain't got a plan I think I'm going under But what I said before I'm feeling it now (Feeling it, I'm feeling it, I'm feeling it now) I can be your only one And you can always ask it all to me And parachutes will catch the fall in love Just make sure to tell me dear Tell me when the coast is clear I am always waiting here for you I'm feeling it now (Feeling it, I'm feeling it, I'm feeling it now)

Detours 04:06
Taking lots of detours Straying off the route that you told me to take I didn't take it I tried my own thing this time I'm hoping that it rains soon I need some time to clear my mind from all this heat, my girl From all this heat I still seem to be Going down the route you told me And now you're the one who's taking the detour I still seem to be Going down the route you told me And now you're the one, and now you're the one Dwelling in the basement Haven't seen no daylight for days Somebody take my place I never hear my phone ring Let's argue bout some new things for once Oh, for once Don't let me fall into the depths of your love Depths of your love I still seem to be Going down the route you told me And now you're the one who's taking the detour I still seem to be Going down the route you told me And now you're the one And now you're the one Oh I see the truth I'm taking the path I know that leads to you

I can't believe I'm better than I ever was I can't believe I'm better On my bicycle I go too fast The little shops that I ride past The people's faces, they make me laugh I approach the curve and stop to see A hill of true adversity I think to myself, can anybody see me? I can't believe I'm better than I ever was I can't believe I'm better I am taken to a forest path Where I trample autumn leaves and grass Sipping root beer from my backpack My shoes are worn, my helmet's loose I packed a sandwich and some juice The wind and I have made a little truce Doo doo, doo doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo Doo doo, doo doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo

Dancing on my own, it make me feel good No I never had a problem doing that Girl I'm gonna check up on my phone, it make me feel good I'm leaving and I'm never coming back Cos I've been trying to explain that it's been difficult For me to understand just what you want Girl there's just so many things I been tripping on, I've been tripping on, And one of them is your heart I know you've made yourself a name You're at the shows playing your game It's been so long since I've come round Your voice became my favorite sound Your voice became my favorite sound This this that It's always something new And all of the games that we play, girl I'm always gonna lose This this that You check it off your list But you never think twice Cos it comes down to this I know you've made yourself a name You're at the shows playing your game It's been so long since I've come round Your voice became my favorite sound Your voice became my favorite sound (Austen) I know my left and right brain And my heart have been arguing About these so-called meetings To break up my heart again Taking place and love centers I'd like to recollect And offer up my respect Those guys are smart A sure select Kind of their kind And proper subversive But clearly aggressive And super coercive I'm trying my best at just being assertive And aiming up laterally in my verses I'm aiming up there Right at your face So I can tell you It's pretty great I know you've made yourself a name You're at the shows playing your game It's been so long since I've come round Your voice became my favorite sound Your voice became my favorite sound Ooh, I'm complaining Feelings I've been feigning Say just what I feel? Man I'm scared of what you'll make it Cos I tell the truth, I might not believe in myself I'm nothing to you But just a dusty record on the shelf You're my lady Said we need to take our own time? You're my baby Does this mean you're leaving me behind? She said lately, Vision's so hazy What am I to you to me, I'm caught up on the maybe AH!

There she goes, there she goes, there she goes, there she There she goes, there she goes, there she goes, she's a Sidewalk junkie She's a sidewalk junkie There she goes, walking a touch those hips There she's walking makes my mind (With those hips) Sidewalk junkie Sidewalk junkie She looks around with something to say That's a sign to stay away You cannot get your heart back You cannot get your head back You cannot get your mind back You cannot get your friends back now Ooh, she'll take it away Whatever you want man, she'll take it away Sidewalk junkie Sidewalk junkie Sidewalk junkie Sidewalk junkie She has a knife in the corner of her heel She's walkin round with thoughts made of steel You, y-you can find you walk the streets She'll blow your mind She'll take your mind and steal your time Never get it back, never get it back There is no rewind Sidewalk junkie Sidewalk junkie She thinks she got you in the palm of her hand Well there is something that she just don't understand Cos I'm a sidewalk junkie Sidewalk junkie

Hollow 03:42
Feeling out a way to let it off, You said you'd never go too far I'm feeling out a way to let it off, You said you'd never go too far I'm waiting for the solace in my mind, It's hollow and my eyes feel blind I just need the solace in my mind, It's hollow and my eyes feel blind Follow me down to a river that's running as cold as your heart You take all my love for granted, I'm ready to see what we are\ Follow me down to a river that's running as cold as your heart You take all my love for granted, I'm ready to see what we are Hollow, don't you follow I'm hollow, don't you follow the rules of love? Follow the rules of love No love, no life, no love, no No love, no life, no love, no No love, no life, no love, no But my heart stays Tripping in the fast lane No love, no life, no love, no No love, no life, no love, no No love, no life, no love, no But my heart stays But my heart stays Follow me down to a river that's running as cold as your heart You take all my love for granted, I'm ready to see what we are Follow me down to a river that's running as cold as your heart You take all my love for granted, I'm ready to see what we are

Formula 04:16
I followed you Girl you know I followed you But you're saying something and you're doing something else I followed you Cos you know my heart is true I keep second guessing all the things you ever said to me You said to me I'm not your man anymore So what am I to do now that you're gone? (And we're in the night) Girl I want you (By the candlelight) And I love you But I don't wanna find what I can't realize (And we're in the night) Girl I need you (By the candlelight) Do you need me Just tell me your formula (Pius) So lemme flip the script Cos I got a lot of problems I'm tryna circumvent Going in circles leading to nowhere Same place we at, well we been here Saying I love you but do I mean it Or is it just a particular feeling That I been feeling It's hard to tell I just know I been fighting off all these demons They taking me places when I'm alone I tried to tell you, you couldn't even conceive it Thinking back to what you asked that one night I wanna be together and you still want it, right? Well lemme think about it And I'll have an answer for you in the next twenty-four hours But instead I probably took about twenty four hundred showers Tryna wash the guilt off Cos this shit costs Said she tryna get knocked up I mean knocked off But I said no, I mean I said yes But I must digress cos (And we're in the night) Girl I want you (By the candlelight) And I love you But I don't wanna find what I can't realize (And we're in the night) Girl I need you (By the candlelight) Do you need me Just tell me your formula
