I'm opening up to the world that surrounds me, all around me I hid and I sought but they found me With me eyes closed and a bloody nose And a backpack full of hydro So we split it up, we hit it up Talked 'bout how shit got fucked up Feeling the pain, going insane Talk how the rain hasn't stopped for ten days So here we go again let's start a new beginning I feel the sun begin to break the clouds My head is spinning All around, now I've found You have every reason just to be Here with me Inside your eyes now I can see A part of me, so believe I and I reside behind our eyes (Chorus) Is there ever just once in a lifetime Or could we find another way To divide the lines in time I feel I should come back in with the quickness, of a sickness That be traveling 'round like the french kiss Talking U-N to the I-T Why Generation gonna find me So bring them up or put them down Why do we look to the sky, wondering why It's all about U-N-I-T-Y Be with me Inside your eyes now I can see A part of me, so believe I and I reside behind our eyes (Chorus) Is there ever just once in a lifetime Or could we find another way To divide the lines in time And if the day glows into the night sky Then we'll start a better day And re-write the words in rhyme I'm feeling that I might find a better way (Ideal) Here with me I can see So believe I and I reside behind our eyes (Chorus) (x2)

So I stepped into the party right, looking for a booty tight Grinding on the dance floor, looking like she want more I asked her what her name was, she kind of turned her face up Like "Why this white boy trying to dance up on me?" "I know you got your dreads done at the salon hun" I laughed took a sip, now I'm slowly responding "Well actually my dreadlocks happened naturally In fact you see, according to my memory they happened in December Please let me just remember, oh wait, it was the summer Jeez, it's all coming back to me, clockwork factory" Mind like a steel trap, getting rich off of rap Nah, I'm just playing but I hope that you believe that Cuz I ain't spit nothing but the truth girl Secret squirrel ain't my type of character I'm more like America's most blunted, most wanted But not for robbery, I'm guilty see, so hear my plea, of the crime of trying to be The illest emcee with the style and capabilities To grab the mic, grab the ax, and pop that shit like crackerjacks I'm on attack, so step it back, and just breathe (Chorus) Breathe it in and breathe it out Girl you know you what I'm about It really ain't no mystery You know I'm a little high But I be looking right back into your eyes And I know just how your body will reply So baby let's just breathe Breathe it in and breathe it out (x3) It goes, one for the money yo, two for the dro We blaze before and after each and every show So baby girl if you want it just say so I got some funk up in the trunk and it's ready to blow So roll it up, light it up, take a hit and pass Cuz these shorty-wops be cuter than some kittens in a basket The passion, cash, and the cameras that be flashing I run my fingers down around the band of your elastic booty shorts Now let me light up your smoke Who doesn't need a little nicotine right after you toke So off into the sunset with my tenderoni It feels so good just ask Chuck Mangione (Chorus) (x2)

All Is Water 04:35
Wake up, cigarette Shake up, discontent Make up, your pretty face And send them all on an endless chase Now I'm flying high As I look into the sky and close my eyes Lazy, color blind, hazy, getting left behind But that don't phase me, champion So place me where the light is on And shine it in my eyes, you know that its no big surprise Keep that lovin' strong (x3) And we can carry on and start a new day Baby, been doing fine Just lately, you've been on my mind They all say, we need a change Only love can start to rearrange And bring us into the new If there's only one thing that we all can do (Chorus) Do you remember baby when they used to say, Only love was going to keep us together? Do you remember how that used to feel? Now you've gone along your way now, So am I wrong to say? Come one, come many, come no one, come all Come bring it to the world watch the empire fall Come science, come religion, come political misfits Come twist this message re-pack it and gift it When draining water leaves you swirling thru the emptiness The message is remember where you started the flow All is water don't get caught up in the waves that crash upon us Or the power of the undertow So who rocks the midwest best? Yea you guessed it MWH in the house check the guestlist Plus these ladies that I got to the left, kid Booty tight, pretty face, and big breasted I think that she feelin' me more, really think that she feelin' me more now I said I feel the love in the air tonight And Im'a give it to the world and expand the light Come fire, come water, come winter, come rain And listen to these songs I sing (Chorus)

Runaway 03:45
I wake up early in the morning Just to watch the waves roll in On the beach I walk and wonder If I am falling under And if the night will bring thunder If you runaway tonight (x2) If you runaway (x3) w/ me Tonight (x3) I woke up late one evening To the sound of a telephone ringing On the other line I find A voice I ain't heard for some time And this just helps to ease my mind If you runaway tonight We won't worry 'bout tomorrow If you runaway tonight We can search for the morning light If you runaway (x3) w/ me Tonight (x3) Even if we stay here just for one more day We may lose our only chance to leave this place and runaway Let's runaway (x5) (Ideal) (Chorus)

Do Or Die 03:43
I ain't try to be nobody I ain't, faking it Take another picture if you think you're mistaken You're fakin' the funk and lettin' that bump keep on taking you out Am I making myself clear? I'm feeling locked up get me out of here Better wait 'til you make that abrasiveness drop to tear California falls into the oceanside and I reply I always knew this would come down to do or die So hold your breath 'Cause underwater you can hardly see that sky I always knew this would come down to do or die You just tryin' to be somebody you ain't, fakin' it Took another picture now you know you're mistaken You're takin' that bump now you flunked And were taking you out Now we know it oh so clear You're gettin' fucked up now you're out of here Better wait 'til you make that abrasiveness drop to a tear (Chorus) (Chorus) Do or die (x4)

Can we overcome? Can we understand? I'd take my generation by the hand No heart in music Where is the soul? Its time to fight Fight for control People of America Fall before you fight What defines our character? What gives us the right? (Ideal) (Chorus) I used to feel like the youngest one Now I feel like the only son I close my eyes And look to the sky People want to come, people want to go People want to tell you that they want to know But they don't really want to know The truth is too painful (Chorus) People of America We cry into the night What defines our character What gives us the right? (X3)
