Lullaby 01:55
[Verse] I want you back, here Nothings left for me Flex all the feelings on wax TV with static, it appears Through the noise I've been Patient for you, for us two Now, I don't deserve you But you don't deserve me too Despite all the facts I miss you

Wondering 03:47
[Verse 1] All our worries, all our pain for futures we can't hold All I know is no control To fix things is harder than not at all Unsure, I'm surely scared to death And it doesn't help that we're falling apart, dreaming we're free from this Existing is harder than not at all And there's you and me breathing for the sake of time I was [Chorus 1] Wondering if "I love you" costing all of my time Wondering if I hate you cause you're stressing heart and mind Wondering if I'll make it for the rest of my life [Verse 2] This, that and this, is all the ever happens All I give, so you can keep on standing I'm tired, was it worth it? Was it worth it? I was [Chorus 2] Wondering if you love me after all that I've tried Wondering if you hate me cause I'm fucking up your vibes Wondering if you'll make it for the rest of your life [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 3] Do we love each other through the good and bad times? Put it all aside when everything is on the line Wondering if we'll make it for the rest of our lives

[Hook 1] Changes For me, for me, for me Too long chasing nothing Pour my heart in this, this ain't fronting Too fucking tired asking when you coming through Shits already fallen through [Verse 1] All I need, is you Count my blessings everyday Make it rain like every way All I see, is you Take you by the waist and Sway till our feet are aching It's good [Hook 2] Changes For me, for me, for me Too long chasing nothing Pour my heart in this, this ain't fronting Too fucking tired asking when you coming through [Verse 2] Where I need for you To be there by my alter's side And hear my vows drop all my pride Why I need for you Is the love that wasn't there before And the ground you stopped me falling for For good [Guitar Solo Outro]

[Intro] Goodbye love You flew right by love [Verse 1] I'm here, wishing we ain't talking business I'm here, wishing we could go the distance You here, beautiful and godly given You here, make me feel something missing, oh yeah Oh yeah Tickets are my dream Foreign whips, I want extreme, yeah But you're a different kind of peace, yeah The kind I need to make serene, yeah Though I'm holding back I'm still so attached Is you down to ride? Do you want my side or nah? Girl, yeah 'round you, I forget all that I'm made of I would trade in all the paper for the labour I would trade in all my talent for your table Wouldn't wanna be [Hook] Anybody else Don't wanna be anywhere else Just loved by you Wanted by you Wouldn't wanna be Anybody else Don't wanna be anywhere else Just loved by you Wanted by you [Verse 2] The newest city don't fill the space Another band don't ever replace Another Henny won't take me away I want you, I ain't playing When you smile, its contagious Make your body smile 'till you're painless Numb as fuck, forget what your name is Tell how good that novacane is, ooh Just one more moment with you Just you babe Wouldn't wanna be [Hook] Anybody else Don't wanna be anywhere else Just loved by you Wanted by you Wouldn't wanna be Anybody else Don't wanna be anywhere else Just loved by you Wanted by you [Verse 3] I'll never feel that I can't peel back your hair and trade secrets Or keep 'em, or savour weekends Stay believing there's a place for me And soon you'll find a space for me Look at the state of me Twenty, soon to be twenty-one Friends all say don't worry, plenty come Twenty-two just gone run If we ain't two and two together, for the long run I'll never get to feel your radiance I'll never feel your warmth throughout its gradients No matter how much I can pack a stadium One hunnit thousand screaming my name ain't the same as you saying it Somebody tried to make predictions I kept saying what she said was all fiction Still I asked her what she had envisioned She said Noel, I think you and her are a perfect fitting In disbelief but I continued the chatter She said Noel shut up, its the way you look at her I can see it from a mile away the way you look at her That was two years ago but in my heart still matters She got her own life and a good guy she can hold tight The way she looks at him everything is alright Envious I couldn't foster feelings on sight Was there ever a chance of you being all mine On this long-haul flight Pour another glass of Jamie in the soft light Still imagine if you were all mine Wishing you were all mine [Hook] Anybody else Don't wanna be anywhere else Just loved by you Wanted by you Wouldn't wanna be Anybody else Don't wanna be anywhere else Just loved by you Wanted by you [Outro] Pictures I'm living through for now Trying to remember all the good times Our life was cutting through so loud Memories are playing in my dull mind I hate this part paper hearts And I'll hold a piece of yours Don't think I would just forget about it Hoping that you won't forget

Stay 05:24
[Verse 1] It feels like I don't know you anymore You let me down a hundred times before It was always 'bout you Yeah Put you on a pedestal, couldn't let you go, fuck you and your M.O. Blaming me for your broken soul Allow me to let 'em know [Pre-Hook] We found us in a state of despair and we Wanna to be anywhere else but here Now we've fallen away I love you with all of my heart and I Felt your love from the start and I breathed 'Cause for once I felt safe I promised you [Hook] I'll catch you if you fall What harm is it in numbered days? After all we've been through we're okay All I really ask of us is stay [Verse 2] You feel right, you could do me no wrong Lying to myself when it goes wrong Lying to myself 'bout you Yeah Sorry everything is wrong and gone and you're broken But don't you dare take it out on me for your coping, no Then expect me to care for you [Pre-Hook] We found us in a state of despair ans we Wanna be anywhere else but here Now we've fallen away I love you with all of my heart and I Felt your love from the start and I breathed 'Cause for once I felt safe I promised you [Alternate Hook] I'll catch you if you fall What harm is it in numbered days?

If I told you all the little things that I kept from you To what line would you stop this? 'Cause Through You & I is so much of my life That Counted I'll accept when you walk away Though you should be mine
8.
[Hook] I wrote this for you and I Wishing I'd live through What could've been you and I Going through U-N-I Memories, you in mine Got me looking through the times Wishing that you were mine I said it [Verse 1] Fuck the guy who bedded you Pour a shot for your soul, I would've wedded you In all white, but that ain't life its all grey matter Why love when your face lathered in tears Your faith, doubts and fears You shared them under the sunshine I still think you're gorgeous under the water lines I'm at the right place on the wrong time And I don't find honour in your cly Back to you saying I'm hating myself Why did I do it, you always say to yourself I thought he was the one that's why I gave up myself Now I'm losing my mind to all the pain that he's dealt She said, I told you a few months back about losing my faith With all that's happened I don't believe I'll be saved I mourn the children I wanted to have some day I feel like, who comes next I've already betrayed Let alone God Let alone my mother This she can't know, I'm ashamed as a daughter Thinking at the time, he deserved me forever So I'll accept consequences that I'm bearing forever That even means bearing him All the antics inherent in him Because I believe there's better in him So I'll make my mission to bettering him Still he's breaking my limits and I ask myself why He resorting to the kush, am I inadequate to his high? Who knows what else he does or is ready to try There was this crazy night where I was worried he'd die And I cry constantly now, deep in my doubt I lie so lonely now, soaking my blouse My side seems like he don't wanna hear it Dismissive when he talks, so I'm losing my spirit There's more than my love life resting on my shoulders I pray I graduate, I know I've lost control Feeling helpless, falling behind my goals This degree keeps taking its toll on me What do I do when the world feels against me Do I dare question divine pre-destiny? Feel my worth slipping away, what else is left of me? Please Noel, what can you tell me? [Hook] I wrote this for you and I Wishing I'd live through What could've been you and I Going through U-N-I Memories, you in mine Got me looking through the times Wishing that you were mine I said it [Verse 2] They call it falling in love for a reason One minute you're fine, the next you're the deep end It could all be a dream 'til they catch you sleeping So here I go Katy, this is what I'm seeing Your breakdown yesterday was more than family And I've been knowing since you've talked your boy to me Cause your tone been different And your words insisted something more Obvious that you couldn't escape the allure But its a boy's game, imma tell you this Best foot forward then we out when we hit a lick I've been at it before And I tried to warn my cousin, instead I threw a fit What can I say? Thrill of the heist mixed with hunting cause the prize pays the highest price, that's our vice Not to say that your boy ain't wanna wife you It could happen but it'll come with strife too I'm sorry, I know I'm coming off spiteful But not all efforts continue after the Eiffel You can't change people, they must decide to You can't change people, that's final Said it different so I wasn't so blunt with it, I meant Drop the motherfucker and be done with it It ain't fair to get broken just to run with it That's for anyone in your life, they better come with it As for your decisions I never found the catholic religion or sinners redemption I'm a cynic, most my life been ruined by faith My prayers stay unanswered so I make my own grace Katy, its not my place or anyone elses' To tell you how to be happy or find wellness All I've said here has been selfish And what you do best is find peace in being selfless But take one thing from this, stay balanced and never give yourself to failing your own ballast cause Its one thing to be let down And its another when people keep you kept down [Hook] I wrote this for you and I Wishing I'd live through What could've been you and I Going through U-N-I Memories, you in mine Got me looking through the times Wishing that you were mine I said it [Verse 3] So here I am lying down The heat of the sun's warm but I want your Embrace on this grass floor But no, cause that would mess up the concord Of a friendship I value beyond my heart's contours Fast forward, writing this song is hard to conquer Cause this is more than my truth, its yours in song form And it must be hurting you in some form Cause putting this out is breaking trust you asked in conform Now its sounding like I'm home-wrecking And every action I've made you gone question And every word I'll say you won't listen I'll lose you, I know it, its no question The universe draws the lines in the parallels For both of us, that's where heaven fails All I want's to be beside you But I can't change you, that's final Now look at the other thing that I'm facing Finna give up love for dream chasing Like what's my seed if green replace 'em Though I know greed is where the pain is Shouldn't ask but will you miss me? If I touched down in your city, girl Would you see a show or just miss me? You believed I could do it but this feels like I'll have no one to see me through it [Hook] I wrote this for you and I Wishing I'd live through What could've been you and I Going through U-N-I Memories, you in mine Got me looking through the times Wishing that you were mine I said it I said I wrote this for you and I Wishing I'd live through What could've been you and I Going through U-N-I Memories, you in mine Got me looking through the times Wishing that you were mine I said it

[Intro] Last one on the tape Yeah yeah [Verse] Gimmie that 10 note I'll give it back when its ten fold I'll open up that window So we can live the dream off ten shows If you not there don't get involved I got a lot of people making intros But wont stay from my end prose From the 4-6-80, my postcode You got a pocket full of my old hoes Can't sleep on me I'm a No Doz But she sleep on me when the door close She say other rappers? I don't know those, huh I'm just playing for now but who knows Maybe I'll be renowned for inducing renounce Maybe I won't But nothing realer than the sound I've proposed It's here Slapping speakers and flowing clear 'til I croak or I blow your ears, ugh Like Lambo start shit I drop top shit Yeah this that frog shit Hop out and grrrrah shit Tape saying caution 'cause I'm dangerous when I mop up Lilies on the cover, push your flowers tryna stop us, yeah But try anyway My accomplishments just a matter of time anyway Tryna make a hunnit bands in three hours Just to drop fifty bands on my hands to tell the hours Bust down Rollie, want the trophy on my wrist, yuh Y'all don't know me, I go Kobe, no assists, yuh My shit Ryobi, so just phone me for the fix, yuh My shit Ryobi, this my tool, squeeze the trigger Blaow! No one can check me Ticking 'em boxes for envy I've seen better days They all straight ahead of me So keep on playing my mp3 Reaching for space like I'm Kennedy Till I know what's serenity Like God Tiller on melody, I got it Don't know where I'd be without it Carry the weight of raw talent with no one here to spot it Its been a lot of lonely nights to make this happen Y'all will never know my feelings off they first reaction When they steady pressing play on my love and passion Music Through You and I, the beauty of my thoughts in action Paint dreams in reality after I imagine [Interlude] Wish it were that easy But still want it like Still want it like Yeah [Verse] Touch road with a bad bitch In a foreign whip, no average Knocking two hunnit on the dash 'Cause this rap shit I've been maxing Got paradise for an address Nike Cortez with a passion Tom Fords snapping for the fashion Awards stacking up for the mantle Not a worry in sight Cause this shit is unbelievable All my life Living lucid becomes feasible Don't think twice Cause making money never seasonal And if I die That's more to keep from you
