Bad Guy
03:59

What people see
What they perceive
May not be the whole truth
May not be the whole you
But they're so hurt
They pull your card
And put it on display
So sure they've got you pegged
Soul of a villain
Called me a bastard, douche bag, player
She thinks I'm a bad guy
But I don't know no better
Made her love me like crazy
And maybe that means I'm a bad guy
But I don't know no better
I look in the mirror I don't see a demon
To hear you tell it I'm as cold as a killer
Never lied
Never cheated
Never stole
Never beat
Only crime committed loving another
Called me a bastard, asshole, player
She thinks I'm a bad guy, maybe
But I don't know no better
Made her love me like crazy
And maybe that means I'm a bad guy
But I don't know no better
I hope you don't think I could ever change
I'm not looking for forgiveness
If you don't understand me by now
You probably never will
You probably never will
Im not searching for redemption
I've come to terms with my fate
Whatever my future whereever my place
Bastard, might be an asshole might be a player
Guess im the bad guy, maybe
But I don't know no better
Want her to love me just shy of crazy Guess that makes me the bad guy maybe
But I don't know no better

Everyday Struggles
03:03
|
|||
Slangin on the corner
Livin on the streets
Chillin in a condo baby
A mansion on the beach
No matter where you come from
No matter where you live
We all have different struggles
We're all dealing with the shit
Never keep me down
Always find a way to rise
Deep within myself
I reach and I survive
Everyday everyday
Everyday everyday struggles
Won't break me down
You don't know your pops
And mama lost her job
Baby sister sucking dick for money
Brother strung out on them rocks
Baby cousin just got preg
Should be something kinda lovely
Cept it came from some knuckle heads forced love
Now she's probably gon' abort it
Everything is weighing on me
Then my best friend dies
Trying to keep my head above water
But it feels like its a lie
Everyday everyday
Everyday everyday struggles
Won't bring me down
I can carry the weight of the world
Well on my shoulders
I can carry the weight of the world
Long as I need to
Keep my head up under the pressure
I will
Keep my head up under the pressure
Till the day I die

Bout Time
02:52
|
|||
As I sit here waiting
Waiting on you
Daydreaming bout you
Wondering why we are or we aren't
Well maybe it's time
Bout time we maybe settled down
Bout time we gave ourselves a chance at happiness
Bout time we left the past in the past
Bout time we gave us a try
Now I know the truth
It's weighing on me
Should I share the news with you
I don't know
Should I take the risk baby
You've got me on my knees baby How the hell did we get here
Bout time we maybe settled down
Bout time we gave ourselves a chance at happiness
Bout time we learned to leave the past in the past
Bout time we gave us a try
I hate to admit it but
I can't deny things have changed
I can't deny things have turned all around all around
Now it's you the only one I think about only one I think about
Tell me what you think of all this and How should we proceed
She turned to me and said baby What took you so long
Bout time we...

Downer
04:28
|
|||
Everything
What I want
Had so much life so much spark in the beginning
Things change
People too
no names no harm no foul
I don't blame you
Things are different
Not the same
I can't go on with things being this way
Soon enough
We part ways
If things don't change things don't change
My lady's such a downer
Why can't she be little more like you
Oooooh my lady's such a downer
Why can't she be little more like you
I know I haven't been the best lover For couple weeks now
It's true I will admit
I've been thinking about another o'er the past couple days
It's got me twisted
I know I shouldn't but I don't know quite what to say
Don't want to lie
Never lie to you
But I don't understand
How we came to two
You used to be so goddamn
But now you're so goddamn
My lady's such a downer
Why can't she be little more like you
Oooooh my lady's such a downer
Why can't she be little more like you
I knew I knew I knew our time was fading
With each and every passing day
On and on and on I dwell upon that girl
From the dead of night to the peak of dawn
Your love is bringing me down
I won't have you dragging me down
No love should ever bring you down
I can only take but so much
Fore I get fed up and leave
Seen another
Want another
Need another way
Seen another
Want another
Found another way
Seen another
Want another
Need another way
Seen another
Want another
Found another wa

Waste
03:15
|
|||
No face
No name
He's ordinary in every single way
Odd to see looks so much like me
But me and he are parted by a sea
Ghosts I left deep within
Calling the better me back to sleep
But I won't waste my gifts no I won't
I'll be damned if I don't stand Hesitate or fail to act on my behalf
Fear and doubt have been beat to death
They lye underneath the tree of my success
They'll tell you that you're crazy to gamble your life
I tell 'em I'd be crazy if I didn't even try
No matter what the stakes
No matter what they say
I can't let this dream go to waste
Everything everything everything will be mine
Only if I make it only if I make it
Anything anything anything will be mine but
Only when I make it only when I make it
I'll never let 'em take it
I'll guard it with my life
I'll never let 'em kill it
I'll never let 'em try
No matter what they say
No matter what the stakes
I can't let this dream go to waste
I'd rather fail a million times doing what I need
I'd rather fail a million times trying to be me
I'd rather die a million times than settle for
I'd rather die a million times anything less
They'll tell you that you're crazy to gamble your life
I tell 'em I'd be crazy if I didn't even try
No matter what they say
No matter what the stage
I can't let my dreams go to waste

Jack & Jill
01:38
|

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of sunshine
When she upon reaching the top proceeded to fall down
Ain't that some shit
Cause now I've gotta follow this clumsy bitch down
All the way down the mountain
Or else you know, you know
Just how it'll be when she,
Won't come around, come around for me
My...Jill
I love you jack
And I love you back

Lipstick & Titties
03:48
|
|||
Might jump off the page but
Can't judge by the makeup
True worth can't be dolled up
No depth in a shallow pool
I ask myself
What's underneath her
Whats underneath
The lipstick and titties
There was nothing but lipstick and titties
To make this motherfucker go wild
Losing my mind
Makes the world go round
But that ain't all I need
That ain't all I need
Perfect from the outside in
I need an intervention
I need beyond convention
I need some inner wisdom
More than just mere foundation
In you
What's underneath her
What's underneath
The lipstick and titties
Takes nothing but lipstick and titties
To make a motherfucker go wild
Losing my mind
Makes the world go round
But that ain't all I need
That ain't all I need
Perfect from the outside in
Hot damn here we go again
So fine hot as good sin
Will she make it through all the screening
If you mean to be with me
Open the door on all the good to be revealed
Don't tell me your best
Fits in a dress
Won't be leaving with anything less than real this evening
Show me something more
Other just don't see
I need lipstick and titties
Oh I need lipstick and titties much as any motherfucker around
Makes my world go round
But that ain't all I need
That ain't all I need
That ain't all I need
Perfect from the outside in
Perfect from the outside in

Peasant Man
03:10
|
|||
I and I woke up this morning
I and I on the verge of starving
A peasant man stumbled on a prophet
Begged his forgiveness
I must ask a few questions
How can I be rich
How can I be famous and
How can I be king
Take this loaf
Break it into pieces
Take this loaf and share with your brothers
See how you gain their favor
See how trust can take you anywhere
That's how you'll be rich
That's how you'll be famous and That's how you'll be king
Faith in the plan, leads you to relief
Greatness in man, starts with a belief Lead you to the goals you want but don't know
Certain you will find but perhaps in other form
After long you have lived where happiness abounds
Return to this spot
as the profit make your rounds
That's how you'll be rich
That's how you'll be famous and That's how you'll be king

Cliche
03:39
|

When I want to run away you're begging me to stay
When I want to run away you're begging me to stay
Even after all the bullshit you pulled The push and the pull I still come around
Even after all the fake shit you said The games that you played I still come around
Can't live with or without you
I can't bear to try
Just another cliché
Just another cliché
It's already all wrong I hit a new low
It's already all wrong I hit a new low
And even after all the things we've been through
We too just can't seem to get along
And even after all the changes we've made
The tries that we gave can't seem to get along
Can't live with or without you
Can't bear to try
Just another cliché
Just another cliché
And it feels like
Feels like drowning
No surprise the highlights are all of you
It feels like
Yes it feels like
Drowning
Can't live with or without you
I can't bear to try baby
I'm just another cliché
Just another cliché

Greetings Neighbors
We intercepted some things
Some random frequencies that seem to be
Affecting the nervous systems my people and me
What's this interstellar planetary opiate funk
Bouncing off our satellites
Beaming into my home
It's fucking up my living room and We can't leave the shit alone
On our planet your music behaves like a drug on the people who use it
And that's every conscious soul on the planet
We hope you won't take advantage but
Earths got it going on
Earths got it going on
What can we say
We came a long way for that interstellar planetary opiate funk
What can we say
We came a long way for that interstellar planetary opiate funk
It hit like a brick, hits like a brick, hits like a brick
We're not here for no war
We're just here to learn more
About that sick flip counter trip groovy roll
About that shit you call bass and how it falls through the floor
Earths got it going on
Earths got it going on
Earths got it going on

50 Stars

She might not look like much to you but to me she's home
All the flaws and the scars
All the blood and the wars
Souls offended
Bills amended
Traditions blended
The fights we ended
The culture lendin
The fresh beginnings
Bring your god and your kids and come melt with us
Daylight dark night
Under 50 stars, all my 50 stars
Daylight dark nights we shine bright All my 50 stars, all my pretty stars
Pursuing happiness
No where I'd rather be
Pursuing happiness
No where I'd rather be
Daylight dark night we shine bright Under 50 stars
From high up
Cold streets resemble gold streets remember
That from high up they can't see all the pain
She might not look like much to you but to me she's home
Bring your god and your kids and come melt with us
Daylight dark nights
All my 50 stars under 50 stars
Daylight dark night we shine bright All my 50 stars, all my pretty stars Pursuing happiness
No where I'd rather be
Pursuing happiness
No where I'd rather be
Daylight dark night we shine bright Under 50 stars
She might not look like much to you but to me she's home
Bring your god and your kids and come melt with us

Sleeping With A Ghost
04:09
|

Why don't you love me was all she used to say
Why don't you need me I need you every day
Monday night walking home
Light rain my evening roam
She appeared the corner store Unchanged instantly I saw her
54321 getting awfully close
321 she's in a cab and now she's gone
Oh well, must not have seen me
I'm sleeping with a ghost
Who goes by the name regret
She's always undertow, hounding me
She just won't let me let you go
Why don't you love me was all she used to say
Why don't you need me
I need you every day
I'm sorry I wasn't ready
Are you somebody else's other half found the yang to your yin yet
I haven't seen you at least a full year but I'm still going through motions hoping you gone disappear
54321 walking toward the door
321 locks all undone and now she's gone and I stood still
I'm sleeping with the ghost
She goes by the name regret
She's always under my toes hounding me
She just won't let me let you go
Why don't you love me was all she used to say
Why don't you need me I need you every day
I'm sorry I wasn't ready
Time's come
Time to leave
Time that I move on
Eyes closed
Try to sleep
By morning you'll be gone, I hope
Time's come
Time to leave
Time that I move on
Lye down
Try to sleep
By morning you'll be gone, I hope

Love Aint Enough
02:45
|

I understand why you're leaving
But I don't want you to go
While we have this evening I feel you ought to know
I love you
Can't help but watch her
Can't help but see a smiling cry
Can't help but watch her knowing that she'll soon be gone
Soak up every minute
Squeeze out all the spark
Before the dark
Sometimes love aint enough to change your fate
I try to memorize your subtleties in vain
I try to memorize your face as it looks right now
Parting time nearing that twilight hour
I beg of you if you're gonna send me away
Afford me one last glance
