Natural 02:32
(Verse) I’m a work of art you’re a poser this is still life Better be surprised when you see me out in real life I’ve been working so hard it don’t even feel right If I’m off the job and it’s still light Make it look easy like Lebron going to the cup You having trouble with your style you should hit me up I ain’t what you would call on but I’m good as f*** I’m doing good enough, what you been doing bruh? (Chorus) I don’t make plans I just bust a move I don’t even rap I just hum a tune And it sound so natural Baby I’m a natural Shout out to the fake-fakes on the tube Got the money and the fame but they still ain’t you Baby you’re a natural I like it all natural (Verse) In a kufi with my paisley on We ain’t never on what they say we on Think we on that praline, we on that pecan Think we on the same thing we done come and gone So please don’t try to simplify me You leech like ivy, you’ve been on that Miley I know you’re sorry, I don’t want your Molly Be grateful you’re invited but don’t dance at my party I don’t want to see you try to hard It’s my day off so don’t try to hard I don’t want to see you try to hard It’s my day off so don’t try to hard (Chorus) I don’t make plans I just bust a move I don’t even rap I just hum a tune And it sound so natural Baby I’m a natural Shout out to the fake-fakes on the tube Got the money and the fame but they still ain’t you Baby you’re a natural I like it all natural

Overdrive 02:44
(Verse) I’ve been eating good food, sipping cheap wine I ain’t getting paid but I’mma be fine Snakes all around yo. They all benign I ain’t at the top but ‘cause it’s a steep climb If I ever fall I’mma land like a feline Green all around I call it tee time I could never lie ‘cause they following each line This is like good sex on your free time Make me come from wherever I’m at ‘cause I need mine I know you need yours, trying to let you hit each stop on these tours But for now I’ll meet you at our spot by at least 4 Say we got thin walls, what about these floors? I was on my way out I took a detour, ‘cause I need more And I know you hate to see me leave And you know that I came to please so brb (Chorus) Just want to feel the vibe so take me for a ride You know just what I like, put me on overdrive Okay you feel it right come over for the night I know just what you like, put you on overdrive (Verse) Yea you got me singing like a fool Strolling down the street like a kid skipping school Untrue to the rules I ain’t trying to be a player You a hater if you think it’s uncool I could never hide from you Even if it’s something i would like to do Keys on hand ‘cause I ride for you Go so far to say I would die for you Never quite been a loser now I know I’m a winner Put me in 4th quarter ninth inning I’mma get it You’ve been court-side since I was riding benches Now that I’m a starter got you balling on commission New position and we still never missing People say we on a power couple mission They just mad ‘cause we young and we gifted Ain’t no secret we just loving and living (Chorus) Just want to feel the vibe so take me for a ride You know just what I like, put me on overdrive Okay you feel it right come over for the night I know just what you like, put you on overdrive

Déja Vú 03:29
(Intro) See you in my rear view See you in a dream from time to time Now that you’re here boo, I don’t want to let you out of sight See you in my rear view See you in a dream from time to time Now that you’re here boo, I don’t want to let you out of sight (Chorus) What should I do With my dèja vú Whenever I fall I fall for you What should I do With my dèja vú Whenever I fall I fall for you I fall for you Like dèja vú (Verse) You’re so familiar Knew you from a past life soon as I got near you I could see it in your eyes Reminisce another place another time Show you nostalgia soon as I touch you, soon as you touch me This isn’t nothing we’re on to something, we’re on to something (Pre-Chorus) This ain’t the first time We’ve met in the first place Maybe a past life Magnets across space (Chorus) What should I do With my dèja vú Whenever I fall I fall for you What should I do With my dèja vú Whenever I fall I fall for you I fall for you Like dèja vú I fall for you Like dèja vú (Verse) And you played it so cool Like I couldn’t know you At the same time see right through me Even though I was disguised as the new me Slipped down to our ego, got nowhere to be so You ain’t gotta leave yo Out of every woman on this timeline I would choose your every lifetime I know nostalgia sure as you love me, sure as you love me This isn’t nothing we’re on to something, we’re on to something This ain’t the first time We’ve met in the first place Maybe a past life Magnets across space (Chorus) What should I do With my dèja vú Whenever I fall I fall for you What should I do With my dèja vú Whenever I fall I fall for you I fall for you Like dèja vú I fall for you Like dèja vú

Committed 03:36
(Chorus) White walls, padded rooms His and her Alexander Wang straight jackets I know it’s crazy. Is it crazy if it’s all over you? White walls, padded rooms His and her Alexander Wang straight jackets I know it’s crazy. Is it crazy if you’re feeling it too? (Verse) I’ve been having visions of you and these others Who says I can’t be jealous if you ain’t my lover I’m haunted by my hindsight, Words I never said cuz I just couldn’t get the time right About to blow my brains out if I can’t get my mind right Losing all my power trying to make it to your limelight I’m not acting like myself and I can’t get these lines right You’re screaming cut, I ain’t never take action I’m a terrible actor, that means I’m too real Loving me is reckless but I’ll give you a new feel Even when you’re wildin’ I think you’re sort of cute still Show me around, got all the time in the world Just hope that that’s enough time now to make you mine Heart is racing anxiously but damn if I ain’t take my time Pardon me ‘cause I’ve been working overtime all the time Everybody out here eating, I ain’t even order mine Sick of waiting in line dropping lines, girl I’m seeing… (Chorus) White walls, padded rooms His and her Alexander Wang straight jackets I know it’s crazy. Is it crazy if it’s all over you? White walls, padded rooms His and her Alexander Wang straight jackets I know it’s crazy. Is it crazy if you’re feeling it too? (Verse) I know that you feel it too Sense that when I feel on you You know what I’ve been into If not lady here’s a clue Speed Devil rocking Prada like every other day Have you looking like an angel in that Alexander Wang I’ve been gone for a while brought it back to say some things Got my head out the clouds since then nothing was the same Yea yea, you say, they say...well who’re they? No more talking keep it moving I’ve been in and out, now I fell in for good You’ve got plenty fire, well I got plenty wood We’ll have a cozy life, me and you and your butt Know I’m a little nuts, you see it as a plus White walls, padded rooms Is it odd for me to sing a wedding tune? Girl you drive me crazy to tell the truth And there ain’t no one better to (Chorus) White walls, padded rooms His and her Alexander Wang straight jackets I know it’s crazy. Is it crazy if it’s all over you? White walls, padded rooms His and her Alexander Wang straight jackets I know it’s crazy. Is it crazy if you’re feeling it too?

Used 2 Me 03:47
(Chorus) We don’t talk like we used to, maybe you’re used to me Gave you my heart, locked away and threw out the key Let’s go back to how we used to be If there’s still love between you and me (Verse) I’mma fight for that shit like every day Put my phone to the side it’s in the way Gotta work all the time it’s fair to say ‘Cause I’m always on a flight to tear a stage When I touch down all I want is you I’mma get you high we can share the view Spend a lifetime taking care of you Ain’t no other woman to compare to you When it comes to love know we had a hard life I’ve been in the mix trying to make it all right Trying to get you in here wearing all white Don’t wanna miss you, just wanna kiss you all night I know we grow and change let’s not repeat the past Unless we try to save some love and can make it last (Chorus) We don’t talk like we used to, maybe you’re used to me Gave you my heart, locked away and threw out the key Let’s go back to how we used to be If there’s still love between you and me (Verse) Take it way back, way back You know I can’t hit playback I just went and hit rewind I fall apart when you say my name You tell me sweet lies Can’t stand those brown eyes I would’ve gave you the rock, like JB to Haley Who would’ve thought that you would go play me Now I’m in Balenciaga balling like Tracy McGrady that’s crazy baby Crazy that’s balling, condos in college When it comes to love, you know that I’m all in You stayed on those sketch moves, you know like drawing But now it’s finito I’m gone babe besito (Chorus) We don’t talk like we used to, maybe you’re used to me Gave you my heart, locked away and threw out the key Let’s go back to how we used to be If there’s still love between you and me (Verse) There’s a war going on outside no love save from A pill I’ve gotta swallow with pride and I ain’t take one When it gets tough we don’t try we just skate from That side to change scene on just take on Hollywood ruined the perception of romance We all catching twerk but what happened to slow dance Feeling like the Beatles girl I just want to hold hands But you’re in your feed finna scroll past your chance I ain’t gotta choose, I ain’t gotta choose If I don’t commit I could never lose Still I got the blues ‘cause I’m missing you But you couldn’t tell I was made for you and Look at where we made it to Trying to jump trying to make a move I brought the band out I ain’t come to play with you I sing a long but girl I’m trying to stay in tune (Chorus) We don’t talk like we used to, maybe you’re used to me Gave you my heart, locked away and threw out the key Let’s go back to how we used to be If there’s still love between you and me

Top Down 02:50
(Intro) It’s your boy Cam Murdoch Cruising, crawling, creeping down memory lane ya know? If only we could live in our hindsight Figaro, Figaro, Figaro (Chorus) Now I don’t have no shame Cruising through your hood While I’m dripping paint with my top down Now I don’t have no shame Cruising through your hood While I’m dripping paint with my top down Windows up I got my top down (Verse) If only I could live in my hindsight I would get it all timed right I would kick it off with a line like How many crooks it take to steal the limelight Sad but I’ll play it like it’s all fine Still lay you down with that hard pipe Still get you hooked like hard white So you never hit the road to roam (Rome) for Caesar Trying to be your back up band and your feature Not trying to cuff you or trying to police you Got a lot to say but I ain’t known for preaching Standing on a soapbox, I hope not I was never one that spoke lots But I finally got your undivided while I’m Bias, uninspired, and wired to let loose Probably not the best dude for you to get next to so (Chorus) Now I don’t have no shame Cruising through your hood While I’m dripping paint with my top down Now I don’t have no shame Cruising through your hood While I’m dripping paint with my top down Windows up I got my top down (Verse) I don’t wanna sweat you, baby you’re special how did I let you end up with that dude Let me get at you I just want to ask If you think about the past too I’ve been feeling wild, living like a highlight Balling all my life but I’m sort of mellow (Melo) that you got me on the sideline I was trying to play off But it never worked out, like a lay off So I went to work now I’m back on my day off Counting up the pay out. I ain’t come to flex on you I just came to check on you. I could spend a check on you if you need that If you’re looking for a friend I can be that Sipping on this regret makes me want to relapse (Chorus) Now I don’t have no shame Cruising through your hood While I’m dripping paint with my top down Now I don’t have no shame Cruising through your hood While I’m dripping paint with my top down Windows up I got my top down

The road to hell is paved with good intentions Have you seen my driveway? You're all up in my mentions Like shorty swing my way You patiently await a lover's fate I grind my sorrows up into an L I took to face and went to chace That face to face encounter with What it took to make me great I’m grade A, yoked up Be wary, don’t get choked up (Pre-Chorus) You would trade it all for a piece of my attention You mean well, I know you mean well I’m waiting on something to special to mention And all I can give you now is my good intentions (Chorus) Good Intentions All I can give you know are my good intentions (Verse) don’t pull up, i got a lot on my mind I put a chain on my heart I got some weight on my time and still my thoughts are of you consistent as the sunshine, secrets i tell to the moon bout how I wish you were mine somehow that doesn’t change no matter how far away we might have called it too soon now I’m feeling like hardaway & my new friends are all amazed so easily impressed by the drip and the smallest fame, i swear they all daze I don’t what my new life is for if i can’t share it with my day ones before send a ticket when i book this plane for my tour to see me kill the stage in sky welkin couture at times i wish we met later in life after chasing all the dreams that we say that we might i’m trying to find a new way in my life, I just don’t want you to change but you don’t know what to say to me right? (Pre-Chorus) I would trade it all for a piece of your attention I mean well, you know I mean well I’m waiting on something to special to mention And all I can give you now is my good intentions (Chorus) Good Intentions All I can give you know are my good intentions

Late 03:08
Me and time could never be together ‘Cause she always ran out on me As the hours pass looking at her hourglass figure Trying to figure how I could get her to count on me I cheated on her with life and came back running Left to find myself and came back with nothing Yo I was only gone for seconds Time was still mad that I skipped out for seconds Tell me how I write I letter to love and fail to address this I’m just throwing out the words I hope you catch this The minute hand like a piece of my heart I just wish I had that piece from the start Now I’m screaming out wait… I think I’m too late. (Chorus) Always quit while I’m ahead I don’t wanna fall behind I think that I’m scared to live ‘Cause I’m too afraid to die Time is only passing by There’s no need for you to hide ‘Cause you can’t… Don’t have the luxury to wait You never know when it’s too late So you can’t wait (Verse) My ego needed space to breathe Otherwise I’d hate to leave Crying as you wave to me I’ve been waiting patiently For the sun to rise in latest eve Humming in the faintest key Strolling through a vacant street As solitude embraces me I thought piece was make believe Who knew it was up my sleeves Even in good company Happiness is up to me I go back and forth and up and down Smiles crash into a frown Reaching for a ‘pick me up’ Like how’d I let that get me down (Chorus) Always quit while I’m ahead I don’t wanna fall behind I think that I’m scared to live ‘Cause I’m too afraid to die Time is only passing by There’s no need for you to hide ‘Cause you can’t… Don’t have the luxury to wait You never know when it’s too late So you can’t wait

Yay though I walk through the valley of the shallow Try not to fall for the traps of an adult Started learning self quit running from my shadow That’s the only thing that won’t run when it counts Love over war so I dodge all the bouts Still I’m pursued by a murderous clout Trying not to cope with the herb by the ounce Building up the nerve to observe from without But the sin in the way of my zen Sit to return to the ways of a kid Light it up, let it burn for the scent Glass house, but I still got a tint I ain’t God, but I know it’s within So I’m searching, got to put the work in Rediscover purpose, I know where the church is But I rarely surface, kinda like a hermit I’m just surfin (Pre Chorus) Going from wave to wave I’m trying to find my way No I can’t save the day but I can help pave the way If all you can do is pray All you can do is pray Go make a move to day They’ve been burning all the capes (Chorus) Ain’t nobody come here to save you Got to save yourself Ain’t nobody come here to save you Got to save yourself (Verse) Fighting inner demons this is therapy to me I don’t do it for the a, b, or the c list I need peace, I’ve been picking up all the pieces To collect myself so I’m always reaching Go out on a Tuesday like a weekend Tell you about you like I was a deacon Ain’t nobody ask me why I’m even speaking They just take word for it like I’m even thinking Tend to rattle off, I’m getting better though I used to hold a grudge now I try to let it go I found a light inside had to let it grow Lit the way to you so I just let it glow So much about me I could never know So much about you I could never see Tuned in now I couldn’t find a better show Letting you inside made a better me (Pre Chorus) Going from wave to wave I’m trying to find my way No I can’t save the day but I can help pave the way If all you can do is pray All you can do is pray Go make a move to day They’ve been burning all the capes (Chorus) Ain’t nobody come here to save you Got to save yourself Ain’t nobody come here to save you Got to save yourself

Run 03:17
(Verse) What have I done for you lately N**** that’s why I forsake thee Angels and demons they chase thee Lost in the world at 18 But you’re getting bread on the daily And you don’t keep any savings Are all of your peers really hating? Said you blew up and got fake They didn’t know all the stakes So you glide through the hate I cover up all your mistakes But you don’t repent or forgive No time to pray but you live You turn into prey when you give So you’re taking all you can get Put some shoes on the whip Got some shoes for your chick But your feet hurting too Been running from me for so long And it keeps killing you You’re dying inside and it shows A matter of time ‘till he blows That’s what they say at your shows Your time is up here we go (Chorus) Run baby Where ever you go will always come to me Nowhere to hide baby Misery loves a little company (Verse) Innocent kid, grew up too quick Learned all the ropes, burned up the bridge You’re not a man, just an adult Going to work, paying your bills Slave to routine this is a cult Threaten to quit, I know you won’t This isn’t comfort, you’re just complacent I call it lazy, you call it patient Gave you a gift, you didn’t taken Advantage was too far to make it Much rather fake it Curate a soul but it’s fading Your story is gone in a snap Whoever you thought that you were is not coming back The lies that you feed, just to provide the life that you need Are becoming detached The facade is a wrap, I’m coming for that You think you’re alone so you double back And despite how you treat me There’s nothing but love in my greeting You thought that you suffered alone I’ve been by your side all along (Chorus) Run baby Where ever you go will always come to me Nowhere to hide baby Misery loves a little company

(Chorus) I knew I would find you Didn’t know when, I didn’t know what for Something deep inside you Power of creation, I just couldn’t ignore How did you find me? Save me, refine me, touching so lightly Bring out what’s inside me You can read me mind just standing beside me (Verse) You live in a parallel paradigm Though as far as I can tell you’re still mine Don’t tell me you don’t recall what it’s like Freedom, love, and peace are still a state of mind (Chorus) I knew I would find you Didn’t know when, I didn’t know what for Something deep inside you Power of creation, I just couldn’t ignore How did you find me? Save me, refine me, touching so lightly Bring out what’s inside me You can read me mind just standing beside me (Verse) I was raised by wolves and you were raised Christian Drove each other wild and erased all the difference When I’m really down and out, you make all the difference So I’m in the paint leaving no place for pivots I’m in your space to visit when you bounce I’mma miss it Until we meet in the distance, by then you might grow I might change for the better and be worth an extra digit Or addicted to the profits while you sliding through dimensions I’mma catch up to you if it’s the last thing If I don’t then the feelings everlasting All these agents in my path so I’m blasting light rays I might pray but don’t know who I’m asking Looking for self in you, looking for you in God Looking for God in general and I’m still so lost Looking for self in you, looking for you in God Looking for God in general how’d I get so off (Chorus) I knew I would find you Didn’t know when, I didn’t know what for Something deep inside you Power of creation, I just couldn’t ignore How did you find me? Save me, refine me, touching so lightly Bring out what’s inside me You can read me mind just standing beside me
