I Saw You First
04:42

Crazy how we got together, I can still recall the day
Caught my attention better than, the other girls from round the way
Sundress on but looking sexy, with a flower in your hair
Felt like both you and me, was why the other one was there
To my surprise you walked on over, feeling sure that I might
Be the one you need to hold ya, cause I’d know just what you like
Conversation turned flirtation modesty right out the door
Hope we finally found what we’ve been looking for.
But I Saw You First
Just so we don’t get confused
I Saw You there
Even ‘Fore you made a move
I Saw You First
Story goes on like you said
You and me end up in the bed
Just want you to remember that
I Saw You First
Never thought I’d see the day, you and I would share a dream
Let alone I think we’d make it into a reality
Now I take you everywhere and, introduce you as my girl
Plainly saying no one else can, take your place inside my world.
You can lift my spirits up when, no one else gets through to me
That is why it’ll break my heart if, you ever choose to leave
But I ain’t worried, I ain’t tripping, there’s no reason to be scared
We’re so in love, but to be fair
I Saw You First
Just so we don’t get confused
I Saw You there
Even ‘Fore you made a move
I Saw You First
Story goes on like you said
You and me end up in the bed
Just want you to remember that
I Saw You First
I did, I thought I was looking at an Angel
I did, and I think I was right
Can’t nobody tell me nothing different
You’re the love of my life

Stole My Love
04:14
|
|||
Say what you wanna, Do what you wanna
I was lost in love, this was my dream come true
She felt the same, and everybody knew
We had a chance, to get it right this time
I filled the holes left in her heart just like she did Mine
I was there, for better or for worse
Made me forget, the last time I was hurt
Destroyed but back again, reborn as a new man
But that wasn’t the plan, cause as soon as I turn my head
She Stole My Love
She - makes - me - feel
No - thing - else - is real
I can’t live life without the one whose smile
Drives me wild enough to knock me out
That’s when she stole my love
Gave the only thing, Beneath my tatted chest
All my love, I gave her my last breath
But she said she wanted more than what was on the planet
And I was her Superman until she said I wasn’t
Devasted, my house just ain’t a home no more
Will I make it? What should I be living for?
I can’t think, I can’t breathe, don’t know where to go
Tell me what I’m sposed to do after She Stole My Love
She - makes - me - feel
No - thing - else - is real
I can’t live life without the one whose smile
Drives me wild enough to knock me out
Say want what you want she stole my love
Oh no, it starts, there they go again breaking my heart
Taken by surprise over the telephone, now I’m sittin here finishing this very song
I don’t even wanna try again, like a game I never was supposed to win
The fix in before I even knew it, at the end had me singing how could she do it
I know better now, I can’t let em play me fowl, like that
I’ll never leave my feelings out, like that, she caught me with my pants down, same trap
Made me bitter in the end, but it’s better that I’ve been through it ‘for I have to cough up all my ends for it.
Now she can do what she wanna, go for what she know, I won’t be here when I’m the one she want no more.

Thoughts
05:02
|

I’m a mess I must admit
I never felt so out of my head
Gotta get a grip
But I’m afraid to get in my bed
The memories won’t let me sleep
I close my eyes and there you are
Lovemaking on repeat
Try to run but never get far
Can’t deny, you’re the biggest part of me
I don’t get, how you could choose to leave
Thought I was your forever love but I’m not
(Now I’m stuck here) Alone With My thoughts
I don’t wanna be (Alone with my thoughts)
There’s no peace for me (Alone with my thoughts)
You is all I see (Alone with my thoughts)
So how could you just (Leave me Alone with my thoughts)
I wasn’t meant to be alone
That ain’t the way it’s s’posed to be
It’s not impossible
But it sure ain’t the life for me
I can’t even look at a couple in love
Reminds me that you let me go
Are you with someone else
Don’t think I could stand to know
You didn’t choose me, now I’m losing
The only thing that seemed to matter anymore
Irreplaceable love was finally found
Now what am I supposed to do about my Thoughts
I'm awake, trying not to think about cha
But when I sleep, i cant help but dream about cha
No it ain't fair that now I’m forced to live without cha
The only time I see now is (Alone with my thoughts)
I try not to be (Alone with my thoughts)
Gotta face reality (Alone with my thoughts)
Its still you I see (Alone with my thoughts)
Everytime you (Leave me Alone with my thoughts)
I stay awake in bed (Alone with my thoughts)
With you inside my head (Alone with my thoughts)
Tell me how to be (Alone with my thoughts)
Knowing In the end you’d (Leave me Alone with my thoughts)
I feel tortured (Alone with my thoughts)
Still feenin for ya (Alone with my thoughts)
Can there be peace (Alone with my thoughts)
Listen closely, cause these are my thoughts
Man, this is silly.
Sitting here in board daylight wondering where the Sun went.
Whether it was through the brightness of your smile,
The sweetness of your voice or
The grasp of your thighs,
Warmth is just a distant memory without you to bring it to me.
And memories? Memories are my enemy.
They bring the opposite of serenity
And if I let em take over, it’ll be the end of me.
Try to occupy my time with notes and tones to keep the past in the past
But my melody turns into a another sad love song way too fast.
We don’t even talk no more.
And I can’t even figure out if its cause life alone
Is easier than living the friendzone.
Knowing eventually the sight of you with somebody else will see me over the edge.
And I might see what you that made you walk away in the first place.
Or do you just hate me?
See? Crazy is my new vernacular.
Cause when I find the strength to keep you out my mind when I’m awake
You show up while I’m sleeping?
Man, I pray the Lord my soul to take.
Cause living this way is torture.
Going day to day without closure.
One smell of a scent of a familiar ambrosia
My minds slipping back to thoughts of your moisture
Now is that crazy enough for ya?
The evidence is in, the jury has deliberated,
and the verdict is guilty by reason of insanity.
You haunt me. Im in love with a ghost.
Sincerely, your Insomniac.

Broken Rekord

This is familiar
I know I’ve seen this before
And by the time I hear the story
Won’t wanna be here no more
I still remember
It just happened the other day
Tears had no time to dry
Still fresh on my face
And everytime there has to be
Another body on the street
A wasted life they’re telling me
Didn’t obey authority
When all the world can clearly see
That all these lies protect police
They wonder why we take a knee
Its cause they got me sounding like a
Broken record. (5x’s)
They got me sounding like a
Broken record. (5x’s)
They got me sounding like a
How many ways can we explain it
What is it they don’t understand
I been ran out of the patience
To come up with a with another plan
Now we surrounded by this fighting
Cause there ain't nothing else to do
And then they’re scared we’re gonna riot
Cause there’s nothing left to lose
I’ll never get how they could see me
And be so confused
How I wish they could take a
Walk a mile in my shoes
I’ll never see it, they won’t admit it
Ain’t no excuses, I won’t forget it
It feels so wrong that I have to sing this song, but
Its cause they got me sounding like a

Hard
03:37
|

Look at our lives. How can this be?
Never could imagine this reality.
I want it to be like it was.
Wish all I want, it may not be enough.
It's gone for now, but will it come back?
Now I appreciate just what we had.
All we may need is space and some time.
But it's hard to breathe without you by my side.
(Hard) yeah, Hard to breathe
(Hard) Hard to See
(Hard) Hard to keep my head above water, you know what I mean
(Hard) Its Hard for me
(Hard) Hard not to scream
(Hard) Hard to Keep away from what I love, and everything I need
Look where I am. Where should I go?
Will I find somewhere that's safe? I don't know.
Life wasn't meant to be lived alone.
Still I find myself all on my own.
Times running out, its getting away
Minutes, hours, days and weeks all feel the same
Please tell me that helps coming soon
I’m feeling like I wont make it out of this room.
(Hard) Hard to move
(Hard) Hard to do
(Hard) Everything they say I gotta do to get back to you
(Hard) Hard to lose
(Hard) Hard to prove
(Hard) I got what it takes to make it back once this thing is thru
Its outta my hands, got no control
Fighting it day and night, the best way I know
Can we break free, show me the way

You Gotta Go
04:02
|
|||
Why ask me to pretend that I
Didn’t see you take away a life
You must be out of you mind
If you think Ima lie
You didn’t even care who you'd bring so much pain
Didn’t think about the child left to raise
I can’t tell the future but one thing i know
You can’t be in the picture
You Gotta Go
Tired of always being afraid
You Gotta Go
Tired of cleaning up the mess that you made
You Gotta Go
Tired of saying goodbye
You Gotta Go
To my people before its time
You Gotta Go
Tired of you getting away
You Gotta Go
With leaving us to carry the shame
You Gotta Go, you gotta go
I’ll make you an offer
Im gonna stay, but You Gotta Go
Flashing red and blue lights, blinding
Red and yellow tape white chalk lining
Red blood splattered on the ground
Black bodies laying all around
I hear the sirens in the air day and night
I check the news to see if my people alright
Life is already hard enough
Without you and your issues so
Tell me what good is it doing
to bury your own in the ground
Didn’t you know that we’re already under the gun
from everyone else around
Why should I fight for your freedom
When you only give em all the more reason
To take away our lives

Let Me Come Back
04:12
|

What’s done is done
Life without you it don’t mean nuttin
Girl you know you're the only one (for me)
So won’t you let me come back
Please understand
I’ma show you better man
Baby take my hand
And let me come back
I never listened, even when I was wrong
Can’t take back what I did, its no wonder you’re gone
I can see now the kinda fool I've been
How the man that I was didn’t deserve your love
But let me show you that I’m ready to try again
What’s done is done
Life without you just ain't no fun
Girl you know you're the only one (for me)
So won’t you let me come back
Please understand
I’ma show you better man
Baby take my hand
And let me come back
I had to lose you to see how bad I was
Not to have you by my side, was more than enough
Girl I Wanna give you everything that you need
Great big house, the finer things, little kids, a diamond ring
The love you deserve if you come back to me
Chorus
Being alone was never part of my plan
Only wish I had known
I might lose the best thing I ever had
And can’t let you go
So let me come back

Stay Forever
04:31
|

You say that you know what you what from love
But don’t recognize it when its right next to you
You play like you’re always a step above
The truth is you’re starting to see you don’t have a clue
(How long has it been)
Since the last time you can say a man was your own
(Do you Remember when)
You felt like a fool when he left you all alone
(Where did you go)
To cry your little heart out, who was there
(Again and again)
I’ve always been the one who cares
Am I not for you, Are you not for me
Gotta decided
Cause I can’t stay forever
I wont stay forever
Are you wanting me like I’m wanting you
Make up your mind
Cause I cant wait forever
I won’t wait forever
You put on a face for the world to see (Your pretty face)
But the pictures hide the hurt inside your soul
(If you would let me I’d be all you need)
Instead of being the last place you go
(You give em chance)
And they walk all over your heart
(Even when)
You knew it would end this way from the start
(I can’t pretend)
That I don’t see and I don’t care what happens every time
You need my love in your life
Don’t you think its time
To see what we could really be
Open your eyes
You know you mean the world to me
I can’t sit by and watch you cry
Over and over again
I would rather be without you than to
Watch you go off with another man
Can’t hold on just standing by
Its time to make up your mind
I’m done being the fool
Now tell me what you wanna do

Feels Like This
03:36
|
|||
I can see you. Can you feel me?
Do you want to, go somewhere for some privacy?
I can tell you're apprehensive
But I promise, I'm prepared to go the distance.
We can take turns, let me go first.
I'ma bet that you got, what it takes to quench my thirst.
If it's alright, let me in it
You can trust me baby, that I won't stop until you finish.
They can hear us everywhere now
Might as well not, stop, don't, hold, back, the secrets out
Hold me closer baby I got you
Let's go stronger, a little longer. I wanna show ya what I can do
I know what you want
I can fill you up just right
I can be the one
Show you what real love feels like.
Feels like this (5xs)
Stop, I know its a lot. We can take it slow again.
Saw your face when I hit ya spot.
Thats real love, real dick, a real man.
(Breathe) I want you to feel like a woman should about herself
I’ll get it up, speed it up, heat it up, beat it up
Right up until you melt (then ima eat it up)
When you opened up to me
I could tell just what you needed
And since both don’t wanna sleep
I just hope we can repeat it
Cause I ain’t going nowhere
Ain't nothing for us out there
The only thing I would do
Is find my way back to you
Just stay and lay with me girl
Lets be in our own world

Wonderland
03:47
|

I've had Dreams that felt just like this
Impossible to believe
Pleasure on top of bliss
Never thought it'd be me
The journey was long at times I gave up
But right now I'm where I wanna be.
Is this Wonderland, am I dreaming
Its everything I want it to be
Is this Wonderland, can you see it
Feels like Heaven, Heaven
Can it be my search is over
And I don't have to play no more games?
I can't tell if I'm alone in this moment
I'm hoping she's feeling the same
Last night was just the start, it’ll only get better
If she’s willing to stay
Tell me this is happening I really wanna know
Is it real enough to keep going on
Here’s a secret you can keep, just between us
When you give me your love
It makes me say
Look towards the sun
It's on the horizon
And its there right behind the clouds
You'll find the one
It's there in her eyes
She's your sunshine

With You
04:27
|

How does one explain what you are
Words cannot contain all the things that I see in you
You’re better than the sunniest day
It escapes me how some just don't see what I do
Just enough beauty to bait me
You take the time to listen to show me that you care
Beyond the sky you say you’ll take me
Where you’re going, I just wanna be there
With you, I’m gonna live my life
With you, I’ll only be alright
With you, From now on they’ll find me
With you, for the rest of my days
With You, I’m gonna be better than I’ve ever been
With You, Paradise is where I’ma spend
With You, With You
You’re the best, you have no equal
How’d you figure I was worthy of your love
I try to find a way to treat ya
So that you will know everything else you’re above
You always offer what you have
What you ask for in returns’ already yours
Eternally you’ll be the last love I have
Cause forever with you is what I’m living for.
In the morning when i wake up
Your the first thing that think of
I keep you in my heart
No matter where I go
I talk about always like your the best thang
Thats ever happened to me
You’ll be sure that everybody will know I'm with you
