Intro:
Consider this the intro,
This is for the love, this is for the people.
This is vinyl, and this is for the needle
This is all that we know.
Consider this the intro...
Verse:
Back in the day when I was a younger kid
I was still struggling, I was so underfed
Hard to understand,
Now these girls they love my accent
and every one that knew probably got some questions.
I'm the picture of controversy, but my frame is picture perfect
I may act like I am Hercules, but damn these haters hurt me
But fuck it man, I know that I am better then that
Got a country on my back and a city to match
I'm talking about BRAZIL
where we speak Portugues and not Spanish!
So don't speak it cause we wouldn't understand it.
Brick city, Jersey is where we are hanging out
But I come from Ironbound where no rapper ever made it out.
Hook (2x):
Consider this the intro,
This is for the love, this is for the people.
This is vinyl, and this is for the needle
This is all that we know.
Consider this the intro...
Verse:
This is us, this is me, in just a few bars
Second mixtape, but i consider it the start
22 years old with decisions I need to make
Like, should I keep on rapping, or should I graduate?
Should I marry my girl? Or throw the ring away?
Should I quit my job?
Cause I'm still not getting paid
Why can't I chill out, enjoy my life and smoke my weed
Watch some Breaking Bad and porno, and then I beat my meat.
Instead I'm paying rent, and electricity.
Got a studio in a room that I cant put my people in
And I cant go out at night, cause my water's shut off
They're coming for my heat, it means I'll freeze my butt off
Deadlines to make, that means more all nighters
I rather roll a blunt and spark my lighter, getting higher
Take me where the birdies be.
I swear the God the weed did that shit purposely,
Now burn with me.
Final Hook:
Consider this the sequel,
This is for the love, this is for the people.
This is vinyl, and this is for the needle
This is all that we know.
Consider this the intro...

Verse 1:
Every one is coming, from every other angle
You don't even need to worry, I got the game by the handle
I ain't letting anybody of in, I'm the next of kin
I'm working harder then a Mexican
Ya'll are pussies (Lesbians)
It's pussy, pussy, pussy and of course I got a trojan
I got even harder shit, while you're ass just stays there hoping
That I don't bring em out, or put em in the open
My lyrics are the 9, the song is the bullet, and that bitch is loaded
Like, Boom! I shoot it. I make her bite the bullet
Ima killer when I do it, let me introduce you to the truest
I'm as stupid as Super Troopers, my pursuit is to pursuit
looking cute like baby cupid, so they never think I do it, Nah
Hook:
This is me just Flexin'
On the beat, I sound so relaxing
Going dumb again, I swear I'm relapsing
Motherfucking Flexin" (4x)
Verse 2:
I'm a mixture between Lady Gaga mixed with Hulk Hogan
I can be strong minded but I'm also very vulgar
Two things are pointless to wait for, and homie this is it
Waiting on Detox to drop, and waiting for me to quit
This not what Detox sounds like, But I just detoxed your soundbites
All they talk about is I'm white, or who the hell I sound like
Man I sound like me boy, I'm a very mean boy
Mixed in with this noise, heating up like sirloin
Wanna know how hard I go?
I'm tired of all of that
I go hard and smoke these fools, I'm like a cigarette
Treat the beats like all my women, cause i'm always going in em, tell em everything I'm thinking, then go search for something different. Yeah.
Had a girl that left me, but fuck it man it's over.
I'm trying to get with shawty before she turns sober
Got a ford type of mentality, the way that I'm so focused
Every one can see it, but they pretend they don't notice it (uh)
Hook:
This is me just Flexin'
On the beat, I sound so relaxing
Going dumb again, I swear I'm relapsing
Motherfucking Flexin" (4x)
Verse 3:
English is my second language, but I made it first
Portuguese was jealous, but I know I'll make it work
Spanish is my side bitch, but I got so much to learn
And now I'm speaking money so all I want to do is earn
I got so many plans, Phineas and Ferb
I'm musically evolved just needa wait my turn
Makin my own lane, while I'm drunk driving
And killing all these rappers without ever realizing
The dumbest type of mastermind,
I'm still trying to master mine
I'm better then all of you combined
with killer flow like Columbine
Oh? That's too soon?
I guess I'm really sorry
But like i said I'm foreign
So rap can seem so boring
So I wonder why I'm touring and why people don't ignore me
And why I started soaring, if my mixtape is boring.
Yeah, I'm bonkers on this bitch
Like she's soaring on my dick
Like I told her that I loved her but I didn't give a shit
I'm just kidding ladies, damn, I didn't tell her anything
She just came on top of me, and then she asked me for a ring
I don't wanna be remembered, but I want to be eternal
Working harder then these bitches, swear the God I am nocturnal
Hook:
This is me just Flexin'
On the beat, I sound so relaxing
Going dumb again, I swear I'm relapsing
Motherfucking Flexin" (7x)

Verse 1:
Uh, Damn I lost my mind
Shorty got me working like it's over time
She look so good, and she look so fine
And I know it's wrong, but it feels so right!
She tried to play it off, but I see her across the room
Straight up eyeing me
Wish I could be upfront to you
and ask you to spend the whole night with me
But I know the game and I know these lames
and see them trying to get at you
You smile at me and you play it off like if you don't want me to let you
If I were to have you, it'd be for one night
And the next I'll probably forget you
So let's exchange the names, and forget the numbers,
And I promise I'll never regret you. Nah.
Chorus:
You don’t have my number, (Don't have my number now)
we don’t need each other now (Don't need ya, Don't need ya)
We don’t need the city, (forget the city baby)
the creed or the culture now
Don't Play with me, seriously baby don't play with me
Make this night a memory when I play the game i don't play for (keeps)
Don't Play with me, seriously baby don't play with me
Make this night a memory when I play the game i don't play for (keeps)
Verse 2:
Finally got the courage to walk up to you
And Tell you look great, and you're beautiful
But she smiles at me, and she says thank you
and I smile to her and she says I'm cute.
But that's not what I'm here for!
That's not what I need now!
And I know you want to hear more.
But I just want us to leave now. (Ooh)
But I'll take it slow, tell you all the things that you need hear
Almost to the point that you tell your girls,
that you want to get out of here
(But I'll keep it to myself)
Then I'll make a move
Grab a few drinks, then I'll give you the scoop!
Don't shoot me down, that would be a bummer
Just want you for tonight, don't even need my number
Break:
So people of the city I don’t need your counsel now
And I don’t need your good advice, you don’t have my lover’s touch
Chorus:
You don’t have my number, (Don't have my number now)
we don’t need each other now (Don't need ya, Don't need ya)
We don’t need the city, (forget the city baby)
the creed or the culture now
Don't Play with me, seriously baby don't play with me
Make this night a memory when I play the game i don't play for (keeps)
Don't Play with me, seriously baby don't play with me
Make this night a memory when I play the game i don't play for (keeps)
Bridge:
(Do you even hear me?) Tell me what you need from me!
(Do you even know my name?) Make this night a memory!
(Can you see the ocean now?) Tell me what you need from me!
(You don’t have my lover’s touch) Make a memory for me!
Morning came, and so did you
In a few hours I'll leave you
Your sex was so, unforgettable
Just know that it happened I don't regret you
Last night was so great!
You were like the eighth wonder
And I wish we could see each other again
But you don't have my number!
Chorus:
You don’t have my number, (Don't have my number baby)
we don’t need each other now (Don't need ya, Don't need ya)
You can't steal my thunder 'cause you don’t have my lover’s touch
You don’t have my number, (Don't have my number baby)
and I don’t need no one else (Don't need ya, Don't need ya)
And I don’t need these city streets, (Don't have my number baby)
the creed or the culture now.

Verse 1:
Forgive me Lord (Forgive me Lord)
I've sinned again (sinned again)
I lost my faith (lost my faith)
I lost my friends (lost my friends
I lost myself, but worse of all I lost you (lost you)
I lost my conscious, I lost it all, and I lost the truth
I know that things won't be the same
But I made a choice to come play at this game
Only thing I wanted to make a name
and to bring some change,
but i became the same (became the same)
Like the ones I know (ones I know)
No place to go (place to go)
The night is cold, victim of myself, my biggest foe (biggest foe)
Chorus 1:
You walk by but you don’t see me
Slow motion and so gracefully
Be my friend and I’ll show you around
I’m in love with someone out of town
Who is this:
Verse 2:
Who are you, (who are you)
Who is me? (who is me)
The mirror is clear (The mirror is clear)
But I still can't see (But I still can't see)
Reflection's faded (Reflection's faded)
A memory (A memory)
So I ask myself (So i ask myself)
Who is me? (who is me?)
What did I do? What have I become?
How much further must I be gone
Fighting with myself, let me grab the gun
Fight club status, Paulson
Should I seek forgiveness from my loved ones?
Or should I keep going?
Take all the prostitutes I know, and tell em all to blow me
I'll tell you to fuck off, cause you don't fucking know me!
I don't even know myself, I'm the furthest thing from a poet
Rap is art (Rap is art)
But music business isn't
To succeed I'll sell my soul, But i know I'll lose forgiveness
Damn (damn)
Chorus 2:
Who is this stranger
I should be scared, could be dangerous
I should prepare for this
I wish I didn’t fall so hard for you
Bridge:
I'm just a stranger to myself
about the music
not about the wealth
I was so broke
Stuck in a spell
Got me to blame,
Nobody else
Verse 3:
Can't recognize myself when I look at him in the mirror
I thought that making music, would help me see things more clearer
But i still can't see it, still seems blurry,
feels like I'm dead, six feet buried
Such an occurrence, obsessed about currency, while currently cursing everything that burns in me.
Back in the day (Back in the day)
When I used to care (used to care)
When I burned with hope (burned with hope)
My Brother was there (Brother was there)
When I knew what I was doing (I knew what I was doing)
Didn't feel so scarred (Feel so scarred)
And I had no worries (had no worries)
And I had all my hair (had all my hair)
Feel so lost, feel so lost
I'm so afraid (so afraid)
I know I'm Edu (I know I'm Edu)
But what's my name? (what's my name?)
What makes a name, (makes a name)
What makes a person? (Makes a person)
Who is this stranger? And why the hell am I not nervous?
(Am I not nervous?)
Chorus 2:
Who is this stranger
I should be scared, could be dangerous
I should prepare for this
I wish I didn’t fall so hard for you

Verse 1:
It feels like every night is another endless night
So I don’t even have to try, to stay up in this life
I’ll be here forever, regardless of what happens
And I hardly even sleep so all I do is imagine
Fashion, wealth, all of these things
Can’t even compare to the stuff that I dream
And while I’m wide awake, I’m just thinking of yesterdays
And how the person that I was is different in every way
I lost a big piece of me, when I started rapping
I guess you can tell a lot when you look at my expression
Sometimes I lose myself, when I look at my reflection
At the same I feel lost looking at the same reflection
How am I supposed to find myself when I’m looking right at it?
And the innocence that I had, is just lost by all the malice
Every time I hit the club I’m haunted by the same thoughts
Which girl is gonna fuck me? Or try to get me off?
It seems, like substance subtracted when I attracted more substance
And ever’y girl nowadays is bragging about who they fuckin
“Yeah bitch I did that, yeah girl I did him, don’t you wish your girlfriend was just like me?”
It seems like ladies now idolize that lifestyle,
But when they’re with someone they don’t want that going down
It’s like, we’ve become different then the lyrics that we’re listening
So why am I talking when, all I hear is IGNORANCE!
Hook (Edu & Self D:
All I hear is ignorance
All I hear is shit again
What happened to the romance?
Used to do it cause we loved it
Now we do it for the budget
Verse 2 (Self D):
I put blood, sweat, tears into this shit
It took a lot of time, put years into this shit
You think that all this happened yesterday?
Tell me something different I still ain’t getting paid
But it’s all good though, cause I do it for the love
I do this for the ones that I lost above
It’s sorta like something that I do just to chill
But it’s funny though, I hop on the beat and I kill
Every single thing, married to game, here’s my wedding ring,
(check it out)
Know what I’m about, see my time is now.
I be in the clouds, hungry and I’m on a prowl
Never sleep all night, in the booth like an owl
Homie you can never tell me different
See I got a mission, I advise your ass to listen
I’m in a position that I’ve never been in
Chilling with my nigga Edu, its about time we winning
Yeah, ive been sinning, it’s only the beginning
God forgive me for doing wrong
But I be venting out
I hope you listen to me
I just want you to know that I’m talking to you in a song
I have respect for you
I ain’t saying that music come first
But sometimes when you’re not there
Music shows up and I swear that that shit hurts
It gets worse.
Hook (Edu & Self D:
All I hear is ignorance
All I hear is shit again
What happened to the romance?
Used to do it cause we loved it
Now we do it for the budget

Wrote this on my blackberry
Watch me as I black out
Smoke weed, mixed with my black and mild
Moving up in the industry but I’m stepping out
And every step that I take feels like a fucking mile
I don’t leave any stone left unturned
So every stepping, dawg, I earned
This is Bedrock, and I’m Ferd
Oops, I messed up on that last word
I meant Fred, R-E instead of E-R
All these rappers now seem like retards
I swear they better not sleep on me
Cause I’m Freddy Krueger this is Friday the 13th
I’m doughboy, cause I make mad bread
I’m a dope boy, cause I got mad heads
Just rocking my shit,
Cause no one ever did it like I did (did it like I did)
My mixtape, might be shorter than yours
But they play mine, much longer than yours
Got a heavy “UH” Ricky Ross
And I kill MCs, for no cost
They call me a lost cause
But what am I rapping for?
Do it for respect I don’t care about awards.
Metallica, Unforgiven flow, please forgive me Lord
Cause I’m fucking all them up, might as well not wear no drawers
All these metaphor lines, ain’t fulfilling me.
I needa step my game, musically, and lyrically
But when I hear what’s getting played, man, its killing me.
Won’t rest till you get, what’s deep inside of me (inside of me)
I keep fighting with myself.
My Reflection

Not gonna lie
This is what ima do
That was the interlude,
This is part two
Pulling no breaks
I ain't jokin son
This is raw hip-hop, no sing along
Me, the beat, and the mic, are having a threesome
Got an ash tray next to me to burn my trees on
Overthrowing the new school, Treason
Going dumb again, for no reason
While every one was chilling
I was scheming, dreaming, and being me
Still kept going, when they didn't believe me
Now they keep telling, they feeling me
Before I left you irritated like a damn disease
The tighter my blunt, the looser my mind
But I deal with it so well, that I'm losing my mind
Now I'm making chances, opening up doors
Taking care of business like I'm doing chores
Every one around me, told me to stop it
But I kept on spitting bars, like I ate bad chocolate
They say I'm getting better, I still need to polish
Thank you man, but dude. I GOT THIS!
There's only one, I'm completely honest to
And that's my music, no auto tune
Even when I sing, and I'm out of tune
I'm still me, I'm still true!
Hook:
Hey, they put me down
I'm coming even closer, but I'm pulling out
Oh! he's versatile, wonder when I'm gonna throw the towel
No! I just don't listen, I don't care what they thinking
I am the Unforgiver, I am so Unforgiven
Verse 2 (Ian Wellz):
Shhh!! You hear that shit?
These cats talking out the ass, you believe that shit?
Like yeah I heard his songs but I ain't hear no freestyle shit
Nah, you gotta pay for this, I'm on my feline shit dawg
You're barking up the wrong bark
pardon me while I spark
Part my mind from reality
lifted finna go off
Off into a new galaxy I'ma call it your heart
If you ain't feeling the beat, I guess there's a clog in your heart
Part of me wanna be a nice guy Cool, but i rather not
Could be a nice guy, true, yeah I'm hella hot
Walking through the depths of hell since 85
The devil know me well, be puffing L's from the tree
My profit is Rosa Moses
Bite the apple too, I do what I want
Do what you can, forgive me for not being your pops
Still that motherfucker like it or not, going at em
These bitches let me split em, i be letting them *pop*
Letting them
Then it's Dalmatian all in the spot
Uh, Unforgiven cause I'm so outrageous
Unforgettable I'm the
F what you heard, I'm the herd right here
The devil in cashmere, with the sheaperd you should feel
Wellz, If I ain't make it heaven Ima make it here
Hi haters! Bye haters.
Hook:
Hey, they put me down
I'm coming even closer, but I'm pulling out
Oh! he's versatile, wonder when I'm gonna throw the towel
No! I just don't listen, I don't care what they thinking
I am the Unforgiver, I am so Unforgiven

They say a man can inspire a whole generation,
But rap is a generator, generating nothing but hatred.
And we talk illuminati, like we are the enlightened ones,
while having candle lit dinner together with the freemasons.
We see satan, in things that brings us pleasure,
Forgetting that even Jesus was born a bastard.
And Muhammad had an undying hatred to all the Jews,
And Hitler was a Christian that managed to inspire the youth.
So make a toast the assholes,
Inspire all the douche bags,
While a child in Newark has two guns and two straps.
Conservatives hear me and want to build a bigger border
Don't they see that the problem is in the inside? (Inside)
They seek solutions based on comfortability
Blame it on their constituents, the same ones that wouldn't vote for me.
Cause I'm an immigrant, they see me as an enemy
Cause I drink all this Hennessy, and Jesus didn't get through to me
And if i smoke a blunt, then I become the problem.
But I came from my mother, but I became another man.
I was told that I should love another, and die for one another.
But sorry momma I know I can't
I don't have the faith of a mustard seed (Nah)
I rather look for a pussy to lay my seed.
While the others thing they can push me to fucking leave
But I'm a product of Adam & Eve, got my blood written in leaves.
I didn't sell my soul, I just managed to sign a lease. (3 years)
To say the least, I have three year of this fame.
And it's fine cause I know that Jesus had the same.
The Messiah was born on his 30th birthday,
And Three years later he was the birds prey.
Left out to rot with a crown of thorns and a steak
to the heart, for preaching of peace and turn the other cheek
while blood rushed down his cheeks, did he die in peace?
The crows, they feast.
The devil, he waits
We show our face, but we masquerade
We love the poor, but we worship fame
I wanna change the world,
But I am insane.

When Things Go Wrong

Verse One:
I guess it all started, about a week ago
I was lying dead, just talking to my ghost.
He said I lived a good life, but it's over though.
I guess that I died, of an overdose.
Of music, and left my momma all sad
Or without even talking to my dad
Or becoming that famous MC
Now that I look back it seems so empty
He said:
"There's a way for you to live again."
And I said:
"Tell me what it is and I will do it man"
So he went up and opened up a book of rhymes, and said:
"Sign your name in between the lines"
Not knowing at that moment that I'd be stuck forever
Trying to rap, and obsessing about the cheddar
Dry eyes, no remorse, looking at the reverend
now the fame and money will become my treasure.
Such a shame, I didn't even read the fine print,
And did something crazy just to live out a dream.
As I wondered of into this new scene,
Realizing that it's really not what it seems
So I fall into drugs, and I mean the heavy kind.
Like Crack, Coke, Heroin, whatever I could find
If this was the Matrix I'd take both pills at the same time.
And maybe even more to see if I'd sleep at night
For a brief moment, it will give me what I need.
And now I need prescriptions just so I could sleep.
Right now I'm high, and sexing unprotected
With girls I never met, and even with some faggots (give it to me)
Maybe it was better if I had stayed dead
But now I'm over here, just giving gay head
But it's all hypothetical, and this is just a song
But this is what happens, when things go wrong I'm just saying.
Hook:
This is what happens when things go wrong I'm just saying
This is what happens when things go wrong
Verse 2:
They throw everything at me, except the peace sign
Wonder what I gotta do just to make it right
But it's a dirty business with dirty bitches,
fighting for their listens, love is penniless, and I'm penny pinching.
(Again for repetition)
It's a dirty business with dirty bitches,
fighting for their listens, love is penniless, and I'm penny pinching.
(Again for repetition)
They say history repeats, but I won't make the same mistakes.
Got the devil on my back, while God leads the way.
And I gotta get this right, cause losing is not an option
So With that being said, I approach things with more caution.
That's why plan A better work
Cause B is my plan A
I plan was planned on the day that I planned to be great
There's a reason why I change when some beats just get played
I'm Cuckoo son! I guess that I am insane.
Insane in the membrane, a sibling of Cobain
I'm thinking of more names
But I guess that I wont change
And will never be tamed,
I will rule on this game, and this is the same way that I'm gonna remain
That was the demon talking
"AHAHAH! Am i getting boring?!
"Quick, some one get me some chlorene, throw it in my eyes, and just start pourring"
"Ah, I'm sorry about that"
It's that the demons start to visit me, every time I start to rap
But it's all hypothetical, and this is just a song
But this is what happens, when things go wrong I'm just saying.
Hook:
This is what happens when things go wrong I'm just saying
This is what happens when things go wrong

Verse 1:
All my life I wanted to make something so beautiful
Then it changed I swear the God, this shit became spiritual
I feel it in blood, I feel it in my veins
I know that thing won't be the same,
Now that I got money in my name
I've been working hard and all, hitting up the studio
Putting so much work in, you would think this was my cubicle
I just took some tylenol, adderall, and percoset
Still sick as I ever was, I swear this shit is permanent
I'll admit there are times, that I forget what I do this for
Think about the money, and the awards
Then I hit the studio and do some more
Make more damage (Yeah)
Make more money (Uh)
Work hard to get it.
But I'm feeling nothing
It's unbelievable how numb I have become
Thinking bout makin this money and forgetting to have fun
I just want to do this right,
I grind so hard you can hear my teeth
And I pray to God that I stay grounded
And never forget why I do this shit
[Instrumental break down]
Verse 2:
My dad called me, I let it ring
He said he missed me, I said I changed
He's been away and lately I've been blaming him him
Know that they are separated,
Know he loves both of his kids.
I see that you try your best, I understand where you're coming from
Know that these times are tough, and you couldn't stick it with mom
If you could only see how much I am like you,
Then you would be amazed
Work hard, and he works hard too
Got discipline, but we love the praise
Worship money, think so selfish
Wanna be good, wanna be like Elvis
Try to be the best it don't matter what they think
So we don't fuck around when it comes to that green
When it comes to that money we go for that ring
Live for the hate,
Die to be king
We can't take a break and we can't give up yet, we can't even listen all we do is think.
We out here, so faded
Don't think that we're the best, but we think that we're the greatest
So why is it that I feel sorry for him and his stuff
Regardless of the money it won't matter with no love,
Man
[Instrumental]

Verse One (Self D):
Chillin' in the studio, and I'm putting in work
(work, work)
Think about her, while I'm laying this track down
And you are, the only one for me (for me)
So baby girl, you gon' see where Ima take ya (take ya)
Everything that I do, she knows I'm major
Just when she thought I was finished
I give a lil more
By the time I'm done, she telling me that she sore
I can't afford to lose ya (lose ya)
Everything that I do, I do for ya
And I'm just wanna to make it happen,
I'm just trying to make it crackin'
With this rapping, cause she knows that
When I'm here I'm an attraction
But without you
Really I think I'm nothing (nothing)
Really I think I'm nothing (nothing)
Baby I think I'm fronting (fronting)
Maybe, though it sounds crazy
I do this for you,
Wanna put you in a 'Cedez
Baby!
Chorus:
She knows [4x]
She knows [3x]
She wants it
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want it now? [4x]
Verse 2 (edu):
It's a black night, she got that white dress
Hit me up with that picture text
Can't wait, to see you wearing less
Make me wonder, what you gonna do next
If you was a blunt then I wouldn't pass
Girl you so bad, Ima cum so fast
Don't want you think that I'm about the sex
And I don't want you to think that I don't want that
And I want you, You want me
Hail Mary, I wanna go Deep
She know how I get when I'm in the booth
And know how you get when you're in the mood
It's hard to say no,
Hard to lay low,
Try to concentrate, and hit a good flow
But you know you got it, and I know you do
Cause baby you a princess, an angel, and a Boo
The best of you, is you're still true
The best of you, is you know what to do
Got my last name and I'm full of blessings
But the beat's so sick that I just can't pass it
I'm serious,
About my business
But I can't hold on to Victoria's Secret
And Ima hit it hard from the ending to the start like a felon that's out of the precinct (precinct)
Come to the studio and see the rapper
Remain a little patient and I'll please you after
(I'm almost finished)
Then we get home, and I'll be in it
(Ain't gon' front)
I ain't gon' front, only question is how bad you want
(I ain't gon' front)
The only question is how bad you want it now
Chorus:
She knows [4x]
She knows [3x]
She wants it
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want it now? [4x]

Woman – I don’t cry every time that it’s not perfect, every time that it’s not perfect, I fix it! Every time that it’s not perfect, and we haven’t seen each other for three months, I make sure that I save my money and buy a ticket , and I make sure that I get my work done so we spend time together. Every time it’s not perfect, I fix it!
Man – I’m going to go, you stay. I’ll get my clothes in the morning.
Woman – No, no, no, no, no, no, we can survive this. We can survive this. If you go now, - if you go now, we are not going to get through this. If you go now! We don’t have a chance. We don’t have a chance! If you go now. If you go!
*[Doors open] [Doors close] [Time ticks forward]*
Chorus [2x]:
Flashback, twisted up
I’m so close to giving up,
Don’t Cry
Verse 1:
Damn! Another year that I don’t see you
You needa understand, I’ve been facing a lot of issues
I know I said, the first chance I’d get, I’d get on a plane
And never turn away, life would never be the same
Plans always get changed
Life can not be tamed
What if I get a chance, I might be way too late?
But I keep my composure, We’re separated by oceans
But every time we speak, I feel us getting closer
The world is against me, the world is against us
Up for hours, thinking of your love
Connected by keyboards, ups and downs like seesaws
There were days and months that we hardly even talked
Never considered that as time that we lost
They say I’m wasting time, but it’s a good cause
All that matters is what we believe,
and I believe one day it will be,
you and me. (you and me)
Bridge:
But they say,
(I should just let go)
Don’t wanna let go from you
(I should just let go)
Don’t wanna give up now!
Chorus [2x]:
Flashback, twisted up
I’m so close to giving up,
Don’t Cry
Verse 2:
They are telling me to be more realistic
Where have you seen it work in a distance?
Especially in the industry, everyone is cheating
But I cant even listen, I only can envision
You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
And that’s not me, it was John Lennon
After six years, we’re still going strong
Had our shares of altercations but that was preparation
For the bigger picture, for the days that we are missing
All the nights we stopped to think of, looking up at the big dipper
Waiting for a star, where we could make wish,
To forget about the world and leave this shit.
Take a trip Jupiter, meet up in Venus
There’s no limit in the world of a dreamer
Any who hates, tell em to leave us
Living in the clouds we should be called nimbus
Bridge:
But they tell me that
(I should just let go)
Don’t wanna let go from you
(I should just let go)
Don’t wanna give up now!
Chorus [2x]:
Flashback, twisted up
I’m so close to giving up,
Don’t Cry
Verse 3:
Dear M.I. it’s a week since we last spoke
Miss our crazy plans, I miss our stupid jokes
I heard you’re feeling lonely, I heard you’re going crazy
Maybe we need to talk so you feel motivation
I heard you feel depressive, I heard you’re taking medicine,
Stop it, you don’t need that shit to find happiness
Every song I hear, reminds me of you
I heard the Blower’s Daughter and tears came through
My eyes, but I didn’t realize, I miss everything about you
Even all of those fights, on phone or online
We were talking were the best (best)
We would stay for hours, from sunrise to sunset
It’s crazy just to see how much we’ve seen each other grow
I know so much about you, but I’ve never been close
I’ll always consider you more than a friend
Meanwhile I just dream, and settle for the webcam (webcam)
Bridge:
(I should just let go)
Don’t wanna let go from you
(I should just let go)
Don’t wanna give up now!
Chorus [2x]:
Flashback, twisted up
I’m so close to giving up,
Don’t Cry
I don't have anything else to say, sorry for the pain

Verse 1:
It was Sunday morning, 8AM and I’m still yawning
She yells at me, while I’m ignoring
Everything she says, and her soul is pouring
Gotta take a shower, go and eat your breakfast
Put some nice clothes on, she’s so obsessive
Keeping up appearances can seem so desperate
Since when did the service get involved with fashion?
I’m Gone, (gone, gone)
But I don’t have the heart, to tell it to her face
My brother in the room, shit faced
While I’m at home reading verses from the book of James
A man is righteous, by what they do and not faith alone
I wanna do right, but I don’t have the faith and my soul is gone
This can’t be me, this is not what I do
This isn’t what I learned, And it doesn’t feel true
Let me sin a little
LET ME SIN A LITTLE!
Protect me from temptation,
Protect me from Satan!
Chorus [2x]:
When I look up in the mirror, this isn’t who I am
But then I look up in the mirror, and see the person that I am
Verse 2:
So I take a shower, take a shower in the holy water
Ask forgiveness, ask for the father
We are all sinners, nothing left to believe in
Buddhists, Jewish, Atheists, and of course all of the Christians
Yeah, we still at war, but we all believe in peace
But nobody likes to lose, why do we act like this?
Yeah, we’re still at war, but we all believe in peace
But nobody likes to lose, why are we like this man?
Chorus [2x]:
When I look up in the mirror, this isn’t who I am
But then I look up in the mirror, and see the person that I am
Verse 3:
And I could be like every rapper, pop a molly and go off
I’ll feel good for a while, grab a dutch and I roll up
Then I take a shot,
Then I take another,
Then I smoke that weed,
Then I record it
Sell some records and sound like everybody else
Praise the drugs that put us here, praise the way the pain is dealt
Guess that’s what I’ll do.
Spend $300 bucks on some pills that will put me through...
Till the end of another, to drown all the memories
And I’ll keep this viscous cycle going till I rest in peace
Will mom remember me, will my brother speak of me
Will I be the example for my family what you shouldn’t be, Man
I guess I became the villain!
I turned out so insane
Harvey Dent I know the feeling
Got me feeling like a two face
But it’s too late for me, it’s too great for me
This pressure that I put on myself, collapsed on my knees
And I got no choice but to kneel, and if don’t then who will?
This metaphor just feels too real (too real)
This whole thing has been, a cry for help
This whole things has been, a cry for help
This whole thing has been, a cry for help, hmm
This whole thing has been
I’m looking in the mirror, don’t know what I see
I see a dude with a fitted, looks like me
Don’t know who it is, it's not who I used to be
It’s the result of all the scoldings that never got through to me
But now I feel the power, running through my veins
I’m gonna unleash it all, like I was Kurt Cobain
Know that my life, will never be the same
But it’s the price that I pay in order to play in this game
So I grab the controller turn it on and grab a mic
And wit a touch of a button, I’ll give you all my life
I’ll give you all my might in the lyrics I recite
And the console is on, so I “control” what I write
I’m going up and down like it was a cheat code
The only cheat that I used is when I went and jacked you flow
But please man, please man, I never jacked shit
I just go in all these songs in the way that I see fit
And you can blame me for everything
I do this shit so differently
Chorus [2x]:
When I look up in the mirror, this isn’t who I am
But then I look up in the mirror, and see the person that I am
