People of today

Between climate change and miseducation
There's a great depression and no elevators
So now we're chasing papers yet we're the ones who made em
Its a crying shame, a low down dirty shame
Some will live like they've been chained to things they did on yesterday
While others deal with problems borrowed from all of their tomorrows
Tell me where are all the people of today?
People of today...
Between stupid war and false allegations
That nine to five is the new form of slavery
Cause some are flying high while others running low
Some have arrived yet we still have so far to go
Some will live like they've been chained to things they did on yesterday
While others deal with problems borrowed from all of their tomorrows
Tell me where are all the people of today?
People of today...
Instead of coping and surviving - start living!
Don't be victims to the system
Start living!!!

Lottery ticket

Today I stopped buying lottery tickets
Came I was so afraid I'd win the millions
The way I see things another rich man is exactly what the world don't need
I heard somebody say that it was love,
Once upon a time yes it was
But a little less cupid and some more Robin Hood
Would do us all some good
I confess, I'm somewhat of a suspicious Christian
Believe in God but I struggle with religion
The way I see things
She is like the sun, we the plants just respond to her different
From lilies, roses all the way to violets
They live in harmony, no prejudice or violence
And I done never heard one say out of all y'all I'm the most righteous
Its about time I stopped with them internet women
Cause every single time that I see them
They rob me off the love that I've been having up for my sweetness
Heard somebody say that its a form of cheating
And to some extent I guess I'm in agreement
Cause if you got someone you love then they should be the one that you freak with.

Special song

What if the truth was a confession away?
Then together we discover the secrets of outer space
The rift between the third and the first world didn't;t exist
What if? What if?
I took a flight on the wings of your prayers and that's what got me here
Imma tell em what you told me to say, sign it yours sincerely
And they may never know without you there's no me
But we'll deal with that privately
When we're alone I'll sing you your very own special song
Now lets say the world is ending, is this our final note?
Have we done all that we can before we have to go?
What will our children inherently learn from our past?
These are the questions I ask
I took a flight on the wings of your prayers and that's what got me here
Imma tell em what you told me to say, sign it yours sincerely
And they may never know without you there's no me
But we'll deal with that privately
When we're alone I'll sing you your very own special song

Good lovin'

I'm so scared that they'll be nothing left when I get to you
I'm so scared that they'll be nothing left when I get to you
Been no good loving round here for a long time
Hugging round here for a long time
So sad, so sad but true
Been no good kissing round here for a long time
Listening round here for a long time
I hate to admit it to you
Oh please say you'll stay and I'll make it up to you
Oh please say you'll stay and I'll make it up to you
Balancing work and romance is so hard
When the mind is at war with my heart
Whats a man, whats a man to do
I've been running round town trying to make it work
A better man in me is what you deserve
And I'm trying to prove it to you
Could sit here and just throw in the towel
Or get up and just turn this around
After all I got her somehow
There's no way Imma give up right now
Bring it back to the day when I lived for her smile
When she asks me whats changed I'll just say
Hey babe...
Ain't been no good loving round here in a long time...

Missing you
04:08

Usually you can find me high spiritually
I consider myself a positive dude
Living on the bright side of the moon
But I found myself oh so unprepared
When my sun stopped shining cause you wasn't there
Thought I had it all figured out
Spare time and energy I would reroute
But here I am sounding so so pathetic
Didn't think that I'd get up on a record and admit it
But I'm just missing you...
I'm just missing you
Over there your world is brand new
But right here I'm living in a world without you
Since you gave me the space for my dreams
I hope you like what you see when you sleep
I wrote you letter sprayed with my cologne
Hoping in a way it reminds you of home
Where I'll be waiting for your call
But here I am sounding so so pathetic
Didn't think that I'd get up on a record and admit it
But I'm just missing you...
I'm just missing you
This cloud's got a silver lining tried but I can't find it
So I keep my eyes on the horizon
I've been missing you...

Walls crying
04:51

Many afternoons spent in our room undercover
Now we're on the phone far from home distant lovers
Photographs in frames along with silly names we called each other
The words we spoke sometimes in codes only we could decipher
Now you say lets be friends
Claim its for the best
I told you that I'd try
Thought that I'd be fine
Until I...
Got home found the walls crying
The windows didn't let me see outside
Tripped over the floors
Fell out with the doors
I'm gonna have to set this house on fire
Oh so intertwined in knots that won't untie or sever
Thought we'd occupy this space and time forever
Felt like we was a tree that remain evergreen through all types of weather
But we didn't sow that seed, that is why we reap the unexpected
Now you say lets be friends
Claim its for the best
I told you that I'd try
Thought that I'd be fine
Until I...
Got home found the walls crying
The windows didn't let me see outside
Tripped over the floors
Fell out with the doors
I'm gonna have to set this house on fire
Will it be all or nothing now
Will it be all or nothing now
Didn't fall in love so that we could fall apart
Didn't build it up so we could tear it down
Will it be all or nothing cause this ain't no hallway house
Got home found the walls crying
The windows didn't let me see outside
Tripped over the floors
Fell out with the doors
I'm gonna have to set this house on fire
