Clocks in Sync with mine
Driving down Hwy 85
Pull over to a fancy restaurant
want lil collard greens and candid yams
The waitress say greens? We don't have that man
Well misses what exactly is caviar?
Is it sumptin we could eat and drive in a car?
If not please jest give me lemon water on ice!
Cuz on a day like this that a be just as nice
I don't where we're going but we're gone
Where we'll end kup I don't know but that's ok
All I know is that we're going together
And the world will just have to wait
I don't where we going but we're goin
When I'm with you things is always fine
I don't feel so outta of place with you
Cause your clock is set sync with mine
We see people walkin' down the street
People are the best part of nature to me
I wanna be just like my little son
Excited from the little things & having fun
See he's only been here for a short two years
Don't got alot of scares & hardly got no fears
And baby you's the bomb cuz your the same as me
from the same pad we're two weird peas
Chorus
Da Da Da
Real Love
Like them homeless people laying under bridges.
Like the woman caught in the act of cheatin on her mister
Like the owner of a credit card over limit/ when times is hard,
Aint got no money for my children
Chorus
Of all the hard times I've endured
Ain't nothin that real love can't cure
Of all the hard times that I feel
Ain't nothin that real love can't heal
Sometimes life brings me embarrassment
People waitin to see you fall flat on your face and all, baby.
I'm trying to keep it on tight now but things Don't seem to workout right
and um I' m trying to keep my life straight yeh.
Chorus (2 times)
Of all the hard times I've endured
Ain't nothin that real love can't cure
Of all the hard times that I feel
Ain't nothin that real love can't heal
Change
Lord knows that times can be rough
And so rare is someone with real love
I know the times when I feel the lowest
When I feel its my last breath
That's when I'll accept your real love
Chorus fade out
Living in the Real World
Me & U have had our ups and downs
that's the one thing between us that's been consistent
I am not the type to spread my self around
I am more so the one that keeps it simplistic
and I remember our drive to California
where both you and I would pursue careers as performers
but no
it took away my soul & I could not feel whole
Chorus
I don't wanna let you down
I'm made for the small town
a family of about 4 or 5 little kids running in the yard
everybody here knows my name
don't have to be up on all the games
I like being plain
living in the real world
How dare you
you said
you said you're so inconsiderate
but I
I remember you said we was in this together
any how after many years things got so bad and so much cash was running
through our fingers
that we lost perspective on what it really means to live
Chorus
I don't wanna let you down
I'm made for the small town
a family of about 4 or 5 little kids running in the yard
everybody here knows my name
don't have to be up on all the games
I like being plain
living in the real world
A Traveler
Times a wasting days are short
at night I'm rolling in my sleep
I got a heart that's made for moving
the gravel goes by fast
my feet ain't made for standing
I got no favorite coffee shop
where the folks know who I am
a car and a full tank of gas
my suit case has had it share of traveling
I'm hoping to see a brand new path
a whole new way and a ray of light
Cause I'm scared that my truth of darkness will corner me at last
Chorus
So I've always ran but I can't out run myself
The call me the traveler the man without a map
But the world is a circle
and I wish it could be flat
Cause I can only go so far before I find myself right back
Where I started with a wife that has no ring
where I started with a son that don't know my name
Where I started you know I never finished anything
So I keep on running thinking I can escape my past
then I find myself right back
The songs the birds sing are growing faint
the lights are dimming at my window
My feet ain't strong no more for running
My chair has become my home I'm trapped with just my thoughts
there's not a day that don't go by that I didn't wish I had another start
Chorus
Cause I've always ran but I can't out run myself
The called me the traveler the man without a map
But the world is a circle
it ain't never been flat
So I can only go so far
before I find myself right back
Cause I've always ran but I can't out run myself
They called me the traveler
the man without a map
But the world is a circle
and it ain't never been flat
so I can only go so far before I find myself right back
where I started with a wife that has not ring
where I started with a son that don't know my name
Where I started you know I never finished anything
So I kept on running
you know I kept on running
you know I kept on running
thinking I can escape my past but then I find myself right back
Always In Love
My life’s been a bunch of experiments of my own Hitch-hiking from this one to that one, all alone And I can see your destiny and it is filled with joy And I’m asking you for a ride to where you’re goin’ I’m a liar, a sneak, a sinner, a cheat To me you’re just the right boost for me And with God as our guide, how could we ever go wrong? (cause baby)
I really love you I want children with you Be with u always Always in love I really love you I want to be with you Be with U always Always in love
It’s been sometime of me admiring your style of living Your humility, your servitude, your selflessness with me I been blessed with the ability to just watch U When I imagine a woman, I imagine U, under a tree biting an apple (baby) Like Eve in the beginning----in the beginning
I really love you I want children with you Be with u always Always in love I really love you I want to be with you Be with U always Always in love
Braided Hair
Yo we was talking earlier and I was telling you talking bout life
I feel like life is like braided hair
Its sorta like twist you know
Bout braided hair like twist
You know three strands twist together
Ultimately you get to where you get to
From the same dirt from the heels of my ancestors
The naked roads and the fields where the pain festered
And I wonder where the hold came from.
In the deeps of my heart make me yearn for the drum
It's the same place where the crosses is burned
The same place where the loss was earned
Its place where the floss was yearned
Gold teeth and bling ice on the ring baby sure
Chorus
We all got things that hang on our back
Things that make us cool
Things that make us wack
Things that make us mad
Things we wish we never had
But they're just the things that makes us real
Not the maps that guide where we go from here
The road twist and braids like hair
Until we all get there
I like that I don't know some mysteries
Ancient things and beginnings
Excited about the day when I don't have to hear all the theories
My scalp needs some grease
It's the same place where the crosses burned
The same place where the loss was earned
The only way we all can learn
Is if we have these braids with the twist and turns soÉ
Chorus
Walking in the race of life
Looking for my own pace
Not always wanting to but I have to
Sometimes feeling like I've bitten off much more than I could chew
But the wind goes though my hair
Lifts me up with ease not a crease
Hair full of grease no weave embracing me
Its you I see
I am you and you are me I see yes
I am you and you are me I see
We might survive as brothers yeah or perish here as fools
Go place your bets
Don't bet too soon
You might find me in another
Feels like someone you once knew
You know that face yeah we all do
Braided hair (what's it all for?)
The Hey Song
Step into my world for 1 day, just one
To some it be a ridiculous case of boredom.
Too others it be exciting as wild kingdom,
2 Me it be as bumpy as them roads in Brooklyn.
Fayetteville be my base my place to relax
Deep within the bush & barely on the map
Phat things of God around me when I do tracks
And blastin' thru my walls ya hear that ole boom bap
My queen & seed be maxin cuz the chores be taxin
At least one flick a week be our way of relaxin.
Drop off the baby at grams and mellow best. Then take a walk around the lake
to get our brains undressed.
Bare backed cerebrals make for good cathedrals
Ya body be yo temple so its best to keep it simple
Yo I rock this microphone with years of rap in my belt.
My voice clear as digital but with warmth so its felt.
Breath control on point, no darthvader here
So [adjust the bass & treble make my mic sound clear]
Chorus
Heyy
Come to my show, ya know I rocks better live
Hit U with the new, then dig into archives
Speech is big mouth Huge grill much teeth
Been doin nice routines since the age of the drill teams
Now I'm like a wu organization or an Indie nation
On musical levels fit to get wit music festivals
But on the D.L. check the vibe I omit
Cold rock a party wit that funky
Shine
I feel like the brightest star in the sky U make me feel special.
It's like everyone in the world should look at me
U take the way I am and U grow me, and hold me, have patience,
to make sure I shine. YThe noble wife.
What if I woulda married the other girl, I wouldn't shine now
U make me shine. Would I shine now? U make me shine.
There's things that's been unexpected but we've weathered through
and you know it's made us stronger. Yes indeed, we've weathered
thru the storm girl. And as I think back I see you there growin' me and holdin' me with patience to make sure I shine. Ya know U are the noble wife.
What if I woulda married the other girl, I wouldn't shine now
U make me shine. Would I shine now? U make me shine.
What if I woulda married the other girl, I wouldn't shine
What if I woulda married the other girl, I wouldn't shine now
U make me shine. Would I shine now? U make me shine.
U make me shine. Would I shine now? U make me shine.
You make me shine I don't deserve you.
No one like you
You know you pick me up when I'm feeling down
You take my world & turn it right side up
When it's upside down
How can I thank you baby for everything you do?
I can't fight it honey, my love for you just grew
There's no one like you who can pull me through
There's no one out there baby who loves me like you do
And why do I try to lie and tell myself it can't be true?
Babe I can't deny it, there's no one like you.
Chorus
No one like you oo oo ooo
You say I'm such a winner, but I'm just a fool
An undeserving sinner who's fallen deep in love with you
I should thank you baby for all you've done for me
I can't hide it honey why should I if it's meant to be?
I'm so glad you love me
Even when I'm wrong
Always thinking of me
You help me to carry on
And why do try to lie and tell myself it can't be true?
Babe I can't deny it. There's no one like you.
Chorus
No one like you oo oo ooo
