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?

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. 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 (Not too long ‘til I return)

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

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

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 your paradigm Just sit back and enjoy the ride Shift Move your behind Till it feels good to be alive

274 days 6,575 hours 394,500 minutes 23,670,000 seconds 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) La, La, La, La, La, La 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 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh La, La, La, La, La La, La, La, La La, La, La, La, La La, La, La, La 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?
