Am I Dreaming? (Intro)

Have you ever thought,
What is the meaning of life?
Once you realize that all the shit you used to care so much about
Just keeps you a prisoner of your own mind
What if this is all just a dream?

What's It All Mean?
03:10
|

I was told I could be anything that I wanted to be
Work hard so you can make money
And fulfill your dreams
But if you look at the people that are better than me
Trying find a way around this power scheme
What It's all mean?
What it's all mean?
What's it all mean?
What it's all mean?
What's it all mean?
What's it all mean?
Get up, go to work
Go to sleep, then repeat.
You can't seem to meet needs
Working hard like machines
Broken hearts torn apart
Making sure your closed off
And avoid getting hurt
To preserve your self-worth
What's it all mean?
What's it all mean?
What's it all mean?
What’s it all mean?
What’s it all mean?
What’s it all mean?
Should I drink and do drugs
Since I only live once
Or ask god for some help
So I don't go to hell
Or invest in my health
And acquire much wealth
Either way it's all vain
Cuz we'll end up the same
What's it all mean?
What's it all mean?
What's it all mean?
What’s it all mean?
What’s it all mean?
What’s it all mean?
If I keep it slow and steady
Then I’ll win the race
Got my eyes on the prize
Lets Take it day by day
Even though on this journey
We might fall on the way
Now, if you fall seven times
Make sure you get back up eight
What’s it all mean?
What’s it all mean?
That’s what it all means
What’s it all mean?
What’s it all mean?
That’s what it all means
What goes up must come down
What goes around comes around
Around the sun we revolve
Life itself still evolves
Lots of things we don’t know
Always more room to grow
Everything still goes on
After we’re dead and gone
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Have you ever thought,
What is the meaning of life?
What if this is all just a dream?

Lost in Translation
I think I’m going crazy
Without you here, I’ve missed you lately
Though we’re up against the world
I know we’ll make it work
Mark my words,
Not too long ‘til I return
This city never seems to sleep
But yet I still find peace
With the company I keep surrounding me
(Surrounding me)
About to hit the stage in five
Huge applause amongst bright lights
I pray to god this ain’t my prime I swear time flies.
(When you’re having fun)
They say It’s only matter of time
‘Til I’m the one on the headlines
showtime where the stars align
All I've wanted is some peace of mind
(Peace of Mind)
I feel I’m Losing sight of me
Jameson and amphetamines
Make me immune to insecurity
Of feeling like I’m not fit to lead.

Have you ever thought,
What is the meaning of life?
Once you realize that all the shit you used to care so much about
Just keeps you a prisoner of your own mind
I ain’t gon’ front
I ain’t gon’ judge
‘Cause I know that we all got issues
We all got issues (We all got ‘em)
I ain’t gon’ front
I ain’t gon’ judge
‘Cause I know that we all got issues (you and me both)
We all got issues
Take a deep look inside
And you’ll realize
The answers always been there the entire time (entire time)
eyes on the prize
Seek and you’ll find
Enjoy the ride on this journey through life
Let those skeletons up out the closet (Bring ‘em out, for the world to see)
Life is way to short to live in bondage
(Do yourself a favor and let yourself free)
What’s the cause of the effect?
When every button has been pressed?
I guess I’m at my wits end (I’ve reached my final straw)
Sweep it all under the rug
Forget it all let’s have some fun
Who cares if it comes back up
Are you tired of feeling like you’re crazy
Lashing out with anger?
Well, I have some medication for your procrastination
no more self-hatred and hesitation
Go on
Take a break from your ideation
With some dopamine to replace it
I’m quite sure that your brain will thank you
Let’s stack up on the meds
Cease the voices in my head
Head to the psychiatrist
Take a pill then give them bread
Find a way to clean this mess
Throw the toys under the bed
Hide them where you’ll never guess
Easy said as easy dead

Some Piece of Mind
04:09
|

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
There’s a riot going on
Inside of my skull
On the verge of war
Amongst a friend and foe
Will the hero intervene before the temple implodes
Is the glass covered in smoke
Should the truth be imposed
Correct me if I’m wrong
It may be too late after all
My pride may have caused my fall
I guess I’m nothing but a pawn
In a game where none withdrawal
I’m the enemy after all
Hey, hey, hey, young man
Tell me what you want from the store
I can get ya’ anything you want
You want money? Bitches? Pleasure? What you want?
Hey, a closed mouth don’t get fed now
I just want some peace of mind
Something many men don’t find
I know it’s asking for a lot, but I might as well try
Before I blow a piece of my mind
If I’m feeling so inclined, compelling grins make a great disguise as I say goodbye
If I had some peace of mind,
I could probably touch the sky, even spread my wings and fly, become immune to kryptonite
What’d I do for peace of mind
I’m certain the stars would align
For now I’m just thankful I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
In this thing that we call life, yeah.
It doesn’t take much to find it
some try to drip in gold like midas
Others try to drown in the vagina
I assure ya’ peace ain’t rocket science
Maybe we should all sit in silence
Meditate and close our eyelids
For a moment of peace and quiet
And evaluate the underlying
Factors behind the reasons
Of why the Mattress feels like adhesive
Every single time we try to leave it
Though we’re obliged to resist the feeling
Somethings we gotta face
Though the very instinct is to run away
From the very thing that caused us pain
What is there to say,
that’s just life babe
Searching for some peace of mind
Something many men don’t find
I know it’s asking for a lot, but I might as well try
Before I blow a piece of my mind
If I’m feeling so inclined, compelling grins make a great disguise as I say goodbye
If I had some peace of mind,
I could probably touch the sky, even spread my wings and fly, become immune to kryptonite
What I do for peace of mind
I’m certain the stars would align
For now I’m just thankful I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
In this thing that we call life
In this thing that we call life
In this thing that we call life
A piece of mind?
Well, do you have a piece of mind money?
Then what you is is out your goddamn mind.
Shit, you gotta better chance of chasing after the wind and catching it

Chasing...
04:03
|
|||
I desire
a love that’s everlasting
Yet I chase
temporary satisfaction
Then I wonder
why I always feel I’m lacking
Despite having everything I need
Throughout life and it’s obstacles we’ll face
Come what may
Some will go, and some will stay
The only way
Is to endure all joy and pain
Though at times it may seem in vain
Chasing
Chasing after the wind can drive you crazy
Chasing
Chasing things that never plan on changing
Chasing
What’s the point when there’s no use in waiting
Waiting on what won’t change
Over time
When life’s magic seems to fade
And the light
Doesn’t shine like yesterday
When the sky
Is covered
By all the Clouds and rain
Remember there’ll be better days
I’ve loved and lost
Turning over many stones
Thus is life
For the seasons come and go
In that I find
It’s best
to surrender all my sorrows and pain, accepting what comes my way
Chasing
Chasing after the wind can drive you crazy
Chasing
Chasing things that never plan on changing
Chasing
What’s the point when there’s no use in waiting
Waiting on what won’t change
There’s no need to chase after tomorrow
As if there’s time we’ve got to borrow
When life has given us today
To be present
Present in everything
No use in chasing after the wind
No use in chasing the wind
Ahhhhh ahh ooohhhh
No use in chasing the wind
No point in chasing the wind
(Chasing, Chasing, chasing, chasing)
No use in chasing after the wind
(Chasing, Chasing, chasing, chasing)
No use in chasing the wind
(Chasing, Chasing, chasing, chasing)
No use in chasing the wind

Gotta shoot, gotta shoot my shot
Gotta shoot (gotta shoot), gotta shoot my shot
Gotta shoot (gotta shoot), gotta shoot my shot
Gotta shoot (gotta shoot), gotta shoot my shot
Gotta shoot (gotta shoot), gotta shoot my shot
Gotta shoot (gotta shoot), gotta shoot my shot
Gotta shoot (gotta shoot), gotta shoot my shot

Girl I’m wondering if it’s alright
If you can give me the green light
To shoot my shot
(Gotta shoot, gotta shoot my shot)
‘Cause Girl you got me mesmerized
Eyes, lips, hips, down to your thighs
You got me on lock
(You got me on lock, got me on lock)
I’d be crazy out my mind
Sitting here on the sideline
Not my shooting my shot
(Shoot my shot)
Our energy is synchronized
So I feel it’s only right
To shoot my shot
(Shoot my shot, my shot)
I anticipate this ain’t gonna be a free throw
So I promise I won’t come at you foul
All you need to know, is that I’m cavalier in my approach, and clutch with the field goal
I know you’ll like the way I can make the bounce
Let’s get away on a fast break, I promise I ain’t here to give and go, together we should power
forward, ‘cause chemistry is gonna make the team grow
Girl, You’ve been playing defense far too long
For them not to recognize an all star
So let’s prove em wrong, as a dynamic duo
Baby girl I pick you now let’s roll
Girl I’m wondering if it’s alright
If you can give me the green light
To shoot my shot
(Gotta shoot)
‘Cause Girl you got me mesmerized
Eyes, lips, hips, down to your thighs
You got me on lock
(You got me on lock, got me on lock)
I’d be crazy out my mind
Sitting here on the sideline
Not my shooting my shot
(Shoot my shot)
Our energy is synchronized
So I feel it’s only right
To shoot my shot
(Shoot my shot, my shot)
You better know, that I damn sho’ ain’t gonna be a rebound,
baby that’s fasho,
Girl I’m here to stick around,
to a build a dynasty from the ground,
So don’t feel confound,
Girl, I’m only here to assist,
Without flagrant or malicious intent,
I desire the best,
My heart has nothing foul to give,
So baby let me go for the slam
(Swish)
Once I get in the paint (in the paint)
I ain’t gon’ fade away (fade away)
Let me go for the trey (for the trey)
I know I’ll hit the Jay (hit the jay)
When the games on the line (on the line)
Make sure that drop that dime (drop the dime)
I’ll put in overtime
Just let me shoot my shot
Girl I’m wondering if it’s alright
If you can give me the green light
To shoot my shot
(shoot my shot)
‘Cause Girl you got me mesmerized
Eyes, lips, hips, down to your thighs
You got me on lock
(You got me on lock, got me on lock)
I’d be crazy out my mind
Sitting here on the sideline
Not my shooting my shot
(Shoot my shot)
Our energy is synchronized
So I feel it’s only right
To shoot my shot

Katch Me
04:05
|
|||
Catch me if you can (Catch Me)
Before I run away
Give me A reason I should stay
Before it’s lost
Catch me if you can (If you can)
‘Cause Once I’m out the door
You ain’t gon’ see me anymore
I’ll be gone
Catch me, Let me
Let me know you love me
Catch me, let me
Let me know you need me
Catch me, let me
Let me know if I should stay or go
or else I’m heading out the door.
Me and you
equals fluctuation
The Catch 22, leaving us complacent
To achieve potential, built by first impressions,
So enamored
by your own reflection
Settling is synonymous to backpedaling
Damn well knowing I’m deserving better than
You’re offering, the foundation lacks maintenance,
If there’s no chance in saving us
I better run
Catch me if you can (Catch Me)
Before I runaway
Give me A reason I should stay
Before it’s lost
Catch me if you can (If you can)
‘Cause Once I’m out the door
You ain’t gon’ see me anymore
I’ll be gone
Catch me, Let me
Let me know you love me
Catch me, let me
Let me know you need me
Catch me, let me
Let me know if I should stay or go
or else I’m heading out the door.
Set the boundary
To Protect autonomy
If that seems threatening
Then that’s a sign to retreat
Intercourse tempts to retract
Your decision sows Discord
And division in your mental
Unable to let go
The inevitable,
Topples the pedestal,
Dashing all of one goals
Of never feeling alone,
Desperate to pass the torch
Red flags tempt to ignore
Leaving one wanting more
Repeat the process one more
Compromise moving forward
Like boxers pinned in the corner
Once again the hearts broken
Try to Rebound and refocus,
Run in place through the motions
Run away from what’s hopeless
Before you grow too much older
And realize your life is over.
Catch me, Let me
Let me know you love me
Catch me, let me
Let me know you need me
Catch me, let me
Let me know if I should stay or go
or else I’m heading out the door.
Catch me
Catch me, let me
Catch me if you can
Catch me, let me
Catch me if you can
Catch me, let me
Let me know if I should stay or go
or else I’m heading out the door.

Ease your mind
And You'll be fine enough
To shift your paradigm
Take the time
To look around
And see the signs
To realize
And shift your paradigm
Paradigm
What's the difference between a want and a need
OG’s telling me that balance is key
But it's hard to practice what I preach
I want more than making my ends meet
Fuck that,
drench me in Louis Vuitton
Nonstop, I wanna take a flight right to dubai
It'd be nice, to have my shawty on the side, ride or die, bring the block, let the dreamers come
alive
And never die,
Nevermind all of the semantics
Real Love’s the only thing that I fancy
When it becomes everything that it can be
Life's a beautiful work of art on a canvas
When we take opportunities at ransom
Sway taught me that I had the answers
I'll take my chances, no second glances
mind keeps enhancing, Just keep advancing
Ease your mind
And You'll be fine enough
To shift your paradigm
Take the time
To look around
And see the signs
To realize
And shift your paradigm
Paradigm
Damn Chris why ain't you famous yet?
I want to have to future that I can't regret
Getting everything at once is something dangerous
I know the people that made it here know what patience is
Rehabilitation makes for inner matienence
Who sold they soul and was content with how the payment went?
That’s why I don’t get consumed in all of the craziness
Of Chasing paper being foundation to my success
But Don’t get me wrong, now I’m in it for long haul
‘Til the day that smash mouth tell me I’m an all star
Selling out the ballparks, yeah I know I got it me
Correction, I been had it for a minute
But I ain’t sell my soul to get it
Still Sticking to the mission
Execute it with precision
Just the way I Envisioned
‘Til the day it all comes to fruition
Elevating my position
Put that key in the ignition and
Drive!
That’s right
Just drive
But don’t drive yourself insane in the membrane
Trying to uphold an image you can’t maintain
To reach the place in life you’re trying to attain
All you gotta do is drive and stay in your lane
And ease your mind Repeat after me and sang
ease ya mind
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
Shift
move
your behind
There’s no rush so take your time
Drive
Shift
your paradigm
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
Shift
Move
your behind
Till it feels good to be alive
Drive
ease ya mind
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
Shift
move
your behind
There’s no rush so take your time
Drive
Shift

Just sit back and enjoy the ride

La, La, La, La, La, La
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I close my eyes and imagine, a beautiful world
That could use just a little bit of magic
To overcome the madness
But My rose colored glasses, blind my mind from the truth with too many distractions
to see that it could happen
In the times where it’s loudest in the silence
Knowing that I could use a little guidance,
To help calm the waves
Of every storm that causes me to falter
And be the bridge I can cross in troubled waters
Freeing me from my chains
(La, La, La, La, La, La)
At the times when I feel that whole world’s slipping away, I always say that
I’ll be just fine
And at The times when I feel that I can’t seem to find my way, I get up and say that
I’ll be just fine
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
La, La, La, La, La
La, La, La, La
Once upon a time, I was afraid of the shadows
but not any more, but not anymore
I guess its by design, every battle that’s lost gives strength in the end to win the war,
Overcome and transform
can you show me a miracle?
a diamond in the rough exposed?
Where Glitter’s desperate to find it’s gold,
There I know, there I know that
I’ll find what I’m looking for
Where the roses in the concrete grow
In search to find what I’m looking for
In my soul, In my soul
(8 Bar Guitar Solo)

At the times when I feel that whole world’s slipping away, I always say that
