Planet Earth Are you just floating by? As I was staring at the gut of the moon I heard you whisper, "morning comes too soon" Father let me get away Leader, take me from the frontline Angel of the drumline play the rhythms we always retreat to The air is thin here in the upper echelon I find it hard to breathe beneath my current lexicon I'm a servent when I'm wrong Sweet as honey suckle rose when I'm right, yo But after tonight I think I see a little light there Way at the end of Patagonia and nightmare From here to Macedonia look for the bright flare I'm still invigorated just off the hints of mortal remedies Bottled for the victims of the strike zone And once the vesting period of our munition Sends a flock of birds to strike home That's when danger might clone To stay alive you must believe us You must believe cuz we the people summon mercenaries Ladies and gents, lock and load Saddle up, batter up Call your shot and keep in mind it's just a matter of time When these misguided missiles meet misguided men You'll see I'm not afraid of death Cuz soon I'm gonna breathe again Take me down, six underground The ground beneath your feet Laid out low, nothing to go Nowhere a way to meet I've got a head full of drought down here So far off losing out 'round here Overground, watch this space I'm open to falling from grace A capricious anomaly in the sea of space A speck of matter in a mindless void A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid I fake my life like I've lived too much I'll take whatever you're giving: not enough Overground, watch this space I'm open to falling from grace

Lying, thinking last night How to find my soul a home Where water is not thirsty And bread loaf is not stone I came up with one thing And I don't believe I'm wrong Nobody, nobody can make it out here alone When I'm alone, the milky way whispers a promise telling me That all my troubles aren't as difficult as they seem But there he goes, drifting away To God only knows, to some other place Searching for something new Until my paradise comes true There are some millionaires With money they can't use Their wives run round like banshees Their children sing the blues They've got expensive doctors To cure their hearts of stone But nobody, no, nobody Can make it out here alone Off to the night and being clear that dreams were never meant to last But who's to say that you and I can't rewrite the past I open my eyes, again and again To see sunny days waiting round the bend Searching for something new Until my paradise comes true So when will it end? So when, when will we meet my friend?

I know I'm rough I kiss, I touch We run, we hide From what is inside This world ain't big enough for you You wanted something new Something right in your life I would cross the ocean Fly over the mountain I would do it just to be with you People come and go Wish they'd just leave us alone Oh, how I'd love it just to be with you Just to be with you They say they need A rose, a ring (I don't need a ring) To feel complete But all I need is you Cuz I, I can't make it on my own My heart is so alone So afraid just to say I don't need a ring Your time is all I need now Cuz I'm happy just to be with you Don't gotta have a label "Love" is just a word But I would say it just to be with you Just to be with you We talk, we seek For things so deep It's not enough It isn't what it seems, oh no But how I wish you'd call my name And bring me brighter days It's true, I'm with you Don't worry about the world around us There's no telling what's gonna happen The loneliness is gonna disappear Just don't run away, love (Let's find love) All the pain and the tears we shared We're gonna find love and what it's all about Cuz everything's right when I see you smile Just don't run away, love (Just to be with you)

It's so crazy, I got so much running through my mind There's a bigger love I've been dreaming of It burns brighter than the morning light It gets lonely walking down this road called "life" It's comforting with your company Got some people that'll make it right Hey, hey, what you gonna say, baby? Hey, hey, get together now Hey, hey, we only have today Hey, hey, get together now You're smiling face gonna wipe the rain away Feel the sunny rays shining down for me Now are you down for me? It's a day and age where so much pain on every page Gonna make it anyway Cuz it's gotta be, you know it's gotta be Glory days, we livin' up those Glory days, can't get enough of those Glory days, so sing it with me ya'll Glory days, hope is gonna keep me strong Feeling like I'm spinning then I'm in a wonder maze Maybe I be living like I'm in a summer daze Crazy, I be thinking this is just another day But it's true I be grinning and I'm heading on my way That lifetime high where the people staying mellow All the ladies dressing fly, passing by and saying "hello" Brothers give me dap, sit, relax and never jealous They with it on the claps bring it back I get 'em yelling with Block party weekends, my uncle's got his grill out My lady on my side and I'm lovin' her appeal I'm tipping what I'm drinking to the people I be thinking of Sipping 'til I'm singing all the melodies I'm dreaming up I live it up, I see you giving me a little brush Dust my shoulders off, and I thank you for your touch Here's to you, when I reminisce the old days And homegrown Carolina, where I'm feeling home safe There are times I wonder if it's real It's hard for me to rely on how I feel Even though days go by and I I may fall a thousand times You are more to me than anyone can see My family whenever I'm in need Here with me, I'll be alright

I see you look fly, sexy guy Every time you catch my eye Don't know why I get so shy My girls call me crazy cause In and out I fall in love But I can't shake this boy from my mind Can we go on a ride tonight Something about us feels so right We can do anything you like, you like, alright? Don't know why I'm so impatient You should just stop hesitating After all this time I've waited My baby, I'm saying When I close my eyes you're all I see Baby please Don't walk away Baby be mine If I could just freeze this moment in time Forever wouldn't seem so cold and lonely Together we'll make it if we can try So don't walk away Just stay for a while I feel so alive when I see you smile The moon would never shine without the sunlight So why would you keep me out of your life So don't walk away I'm leaving, well go ahead and leave The call heard around the world from the wives of MC's These cats is paying more than half a pound My garment bag I snatch it down Ain't got to stay but we could probably run a blacker town Scenarios like this is tearjerkers for the modern MC i.e. the blue collar worker Cause this thing called rhyming no different from coal mining We both on assignment to unearth the diamond I'm leaving, but God willing I'll be back home To drop these heavy ass bags up off my back bone Around the world with a catalog of rap songs My baby girl is walking, been away for that long But no you haven't well at least that's how it seems to me My hometown is like a whole different scenery Got a lot of things I got to do But God willing I'm coming back to you When I close my eyes you're all I see Baby please Don't walk away Baby be mine If I could just freeze this moment in time Forever wouldn't seem so cold and lonely Together we'll make it if we can try So don't walk away Just stay for a while I feel so alive when I see you smile The moon would never shine without the sunlight So why would you keep me out of your life So don't walk away

This is relaxation, we creating A healthy alternative to all that hatin' Lying and faking-ass music ya'll making That got my head aching but it's all for the taking Beats and the rhymes, women and fine wines When the stars align, this gon' stimulate your mind My outer works birthed by my interior design I'm inferior to none so we them brothers on the climb Spit game drastic, black fantastic Something that'll leave you calling him rap jam spastic Shorties in the bag like paper or the plastic Stretched out on the couch, body elastic Carolina magic, elevated educated Cast a little spell to leave your whole block faded Feeling so good but my outlook jaded 'Til the day I can say, "mama, I made it" Grass roots, dorm room boothes Sound proof from the cover of a boxspring mattress Bootleg versions of Fruity Loops Is the Reason it's a Cakewalk when we on Acid Yeah, listen to MP3s from MCs who freestyle over MPCs Word, this is free music unmastered When we searching for the black fantastic Simz banging on the MPC It's young P from The Beast reppin' NC, Carolina Yeah, hold it down I need some marijuana In my system so I can get flyer than a airliner Get you higher than a hawk, when I'm talking I'm Stephen Hawking, call me the Physicist So get up out my face please, slap! Ya'll ridiculous, I'm taller than a pyramid You sweeter than hibiscus is Searching for the black fantastic So light the matches, ignite the track It's the human torch Cuz I be scorching up the booth on fire Giving you what you require, or desire Call me sire, like Mez Break necks of Hip-hop heads, like Pez In the 'Cack we be killin' kids, like SIDS Independent music, you already know what it is

Catch me on a cloud, and keep a big sword in my room Cuz I know they plotting, wishing for my doom I presume its a tomb that they wanna see me in Tweeting's old new to me, I don't follow CNN Not a fan of the trends, gaining powers it depends On the battle that I'm in, can't see me? Clean your lens Watch who's on your team, enemies appear as friends Got me bathing in this holy water Trying to clean my sins Y'all easy like a breeze feel the high wind It was over when it started, I win Mobile like Gundam Wing, with more arms than a sling And I'm fast, they didn't even see a thing They just know that I passed by I'm rocking the Casbah Wish has been granted, I'm schooling fools like FAFSA Hope that didn't go over your mind, but oh well Females never got my message, you got no mail My head in the clouds, I ain't never coming down Level on 100 I know you love the sound Cause I put it down and open up your mind It'll all make sense in due time A fantasy to you but this is my reality, G This is my reality, G A fantasy to you but this is my reality, G This is my reality, G Equipped like a weapon, I ain't running for a second Combinations like Tekken When I'm instrumental wrecking Got them decking like cards, only answer to my God You already know whats up, I ain't even gotta nod My squad is like knights of the round table And y'all fools sweeter than Cain hating on Able Cheat codes enabled cause this life ain't fair And my mind is like vacation cause I'm just not there, yeah Aeons is guarding where I lay on Hungry for this dream, asking God to show me what I gotta pray on I play on my Final Fantasy, you met a rare loss Outside of the box, I'm squeezing it till the square's soft Breaking the limits, but my finishing touch Got the Shinra screaming out "Blew you just too much!" And you just can't touch this emcee hammers with Thor Fantasy or reality: choose either or See I'm sleep walking on magic Bout to let my dream cast Speeding past these quests don’t know my team stats But I’m leveling up, getting better every day Spit that verse that hit you for a critical Whatever you say I'm floating above it, my lyrics they be like thunder In the clouds with my homie, Skyblew Won't mind you, remind you That dopeness will not find you Hating blatant, trying to shoot my spaceship They would love if I don’t make it, ah Man, I swear I am determination And I'm grinding like a skater, no Weezy F. baby I may be a big kid, but my style is outta date Outta place with my age, I'm a mage on these pages Women love my mana, they man wont man up They love that I'm a stand up guy, oh my Come chill, I don’t mind Tell me yo fantasies, and I'ma bring it alive

You see it happened one night On my Clark Gable I'm able to recall facts Take looks back to see a scene Through my camera lens clean With some time now the shines all back You see those lime green eyes gleam oh so bright And the moonlight assumed that we're oh so right For each other but the trouble is tomorrow's on the way Gone with the wind no matter how I wanna stay Tonight is still today Tomorrow's yet to be defined And I'm inclined to make emotion That's whats on your mind And you can x-ray my texts, babe But the next day it would all be for naught I'm on a jet plane You don't look like the type of girl I'd lie to But I don't think you see the same picture that I do I got those 3D glasses, Hi-Fi too And if tonight goes well then we should try two We were all along the waterfront Feeling like Marlon Starting to dread the moment that I'd be departing My call time was all fine Til I picked up on this preoccupation Now I'm chasing in my mind Maybe next time I'm up for breakfast at Tiffany's Tonight the clock strikes twelve and then that's it for me It's a tragedy, unfair to leave it all Cuz my fair lady is the fairest of them all But the subtlest of hints had me suddenly convinced I can be a stand-in I'm just tryna make some sense The name drops of the same prop come repeatedly Sets off a trigger, pictures plant a bigger seed You see I thought I had it here Slowly fix the rabbit ears Check the gate, yeah I think I'm out of here One picture deal, please don't fake the sorrow You know that there's another me coming in tomorrow

Une promenade et l'univers si loin Après une cascade, son nom c'est toujours toi Une escapade, la vie est dans les bois Et puis une ballade, son sujet c'est toujours toi

Plainly the world held wonders of a kind I had never guessed As far as science can tell, they never existed How can you tell when someone is only imagining How could a tone become a picture, and light become a noise? My mind went numb, my body went cold I'm on the outside, I'm hollow in my soul Looking down at myself Drifting in the distance No feelings attached I'm free-falling through existence Dreams escaping in between life Paranormal gravity I'm levitating light That's my body, but that ain't me I'm the quiet presence in the background watching free I'm all that's here, but where is here? I think this is forever in a timeless stare There he goes, but he is me Looking out the window of eternity Sunshine of my life Eternity window Love is on my side Oh will we know? Sunshine of my life Eternity window Space, matter, and time It burns my soul Paralyzed panic, trapped in translucent Lost in a time warp, minus zero conclusion Can't communicate, can't comprehend Suspended in a cycle, it keeps playing again (What's next?) Ask me who I am and I won't respond It looks like I'm there but my consciousness is gone Will I wake up? Or am I even sleeping? I try to move closer but my body keeps leaving (Blastoff!) Can I return through eternity's window or this is it? A choice pre-meditated that led to a consequence I want my body back, but thoughts don't transmit I'm disconnected from myself and everything there is I blink once, blink twice Wait a minute I can feel my physical, I'm back in it Won't take life for granted again Eternity's window, welcome back in Eternity's window, welcome back in This is a precious offering from science to humanity The gift of life

This life is like a movie that I'm watching here It's blastoff and I'm feeling like a rocketeer Moving quick, so I'm feeling like I lost a year And I lost you, well that's awful clear Success is a path that I'm travelling alone Touring on the road, so I'm never home From the show to the bar to another show So I apologize if I never pick up my phone I'm saying, I shouldn't be complaining Cuz I done had some fun with a couple chicks I ain't naming Going hard at the bar even though I ain't paying Tryna blackout all these memories is awful draining Yeah, and countdown's been initiated I'm sitting here and all I'm thinking is I wish you waited But I know you're gone I can see it in your eyes Now it's time for blastoff, look at me up in the sky I'm gone Here we go, come with me There's a world out there that we should see Take my hand, close your eyes With you right here, I'm a rocketeer My father never taught me what it meant to love My mother only told me to get my dollars up So I cheers with my gang at the bar and clubs Tell them girls I'll be back I'm bout to smoke a blunt I'm outside in the parking lot rolling up Thinking about my life and how I'm growing up From the slums to the hood and now I'm on the plane Sharing laughs with a model in between the lanes If my ex only knew she'd probably go insane But it don't matter anymore because she walked away So who am I to blame If I was in her state of mind I'd probably do the same It's only common sense I taught her better so I guess that I'm the better man A part of me wants to settle but I got bigger plans First class, all I see is bigger lands A bigger house, small circle with a bigger pen Here we go, come with me There's a world out there that we should see Take my hand, close your eyes With you right here, I'm a Rocketeer Let's fly Up, up, here we go Where we stop nobody knows Let's fly Up, up, here we go Where we stop nobody knows Since you’ve been gone it’s been a cloudy gray Showers in May seem to drown my day My little Saturn V, the better half of me And you had my heart soaring towards apogee Stella by Starlight, first star I see tonight Can’t light up my life like your smile just might Wishing and praying just wouldn’t suffice So I send by satellite every song I write…right? So what’s it like up there? Tell me How does it feel to be lighter than air How’s the Earth look from the other side? What’s if feel like to have wings and fly? From this corner of the Cosmos, my Pale Blue Dot The stardust in my veins still wait for take off So I’d build a rocket ship and leave the world behind If it meant that I could see your face one more time

There comes a point within the passage of a Creative vision from the Selective speaker to connect with the all Here to make it to the top and second guessing the fall We found an apex at the point we make it to the tape deck And looking back without remembering why We gave a life to the intangible through keeping it fly Never saw where we was going looking just to the sky And how the only we dreaming of trying to get by It's kinda funny how we spend our days getting ready for Just living everything we never could be ready for And I never think about it anymore I'm trying to make the best of my given hustle To the last inning from the finish to beginning Can't do it for me And I'm owing everything to everybody making it be So when you see me on your MTV Make sure I'm doing what I said I'd do We'll represent the best of the better few Feeling the past moving in Letting a new day begin Hold to the time that you know You don't have to move on to let go Add to the memory you keep Remember when you fall asleep Hold to the love that you know You don't have to give up to let go And if we can find a minute And if we can take a second And if we can write into eternity another record And if we can have a moment And extend it to a year And touch a people through controlling every single tear And if we can pause for just a The sake of looking back And the sake of writing into memory another track Then we'd remember why This gift was given this collective Cannot forget it's reason or objective I remember
