This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay

I had to stop my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire🔥🔥
 
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick, and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback warm nights almost left behind
Suitcases of memories, time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, "Go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
 
She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits
She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor

Oh, she don't see the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it, maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away '
Cause cover girls don't cry after their face is made
 


​
You take great pride in never having lived up to anything
Lie, steal, cheat, and kill, a real bad guy

Your daddy is a wino, and your mommy's quite insane
From altar boy to sewer rat, you don't give a damn

Your sister is a junkie, gets it anyway she can
Your brother's a gay singer in a stud leather band

Your girlfriend's got herpes to go with your Hep and AIDS
There ain't one person you know you ain't ripped off yet

Look deep in the mirror, look deep into its eyes
Your face is replaced, a creature you despise

But I know what you're made of, it ain't much I'm afraid
I know you'll be lying until your dying day

Make up your stories, truth's so hard to say
Brain is numb and your tongue will surely dig your grave
Your mind is sickly from Alzheimer's disease
And decadence and debauchery killed your memories

You're a liar, liar, liar!
Everyone can see
You're a liar, liar, liar!
It's all you'll ever be
You're a liar, liar, liar!
It's what you mean to me
Liar, liar, lies!

Start trouble, spread pain, piss and venom, in your veins
Talk nasty, breathe fire, smell rotten, you're a liar
Sweat liquor, breathe snot, eat garbage, spit blood
Diseased, health hazard, scum bag, filthy bastard
Greasy face, teeth decay, hair matted, drunk all day
Abscessed, sunken veins, rot gut, scrambled brains
Steal money, crash cars, rob jewelry, hock guitars
Rot in Hell, it's time you know, to your master, off you go

You're a liar!

A fucking liar!
Filthy liar!

Liar...
Ah, you, you, you fucking liar!
You're a liar!
 
Direct that energy don't be trolling
When I hit my stride I'm gonna go in
Yeah, I got the hammer, Thor and Odin
Loki tryna get the mode I'm in
I'm a crouching tiger
And the dragons hiding
It's a full moon and the wolves are howling
The greatest story is not to falling
It's how we get back up and keep on moving

This is you and me up in the galaxy
Floating round we defy gravity
Up in the sky there's our memories
We can bring them back to reality
This is you and me up in the galaxy
Floating round we defy gravity
Then we connect through the energy
Yeah I'm getting love, no money

Queens and kings
Brown girl sings
Boys in the back by the tarpaulin
Who's hiring? What they firing?
The city's full a sharks swimming with the dolphin
It's time for the magic like I'm Merlin
I've been chopping it and kicking it like a Shaolin
Darlin, the fun is always calling
And my calling is always to stop you falling
If you do pick you up and keep it moving
It's only glass on the ceiling
It's not cement, don't get stuck in feelings

This is you and me up in the galaxy
Floating round we defy gravity
Up in the sky there's our memories
We can bring them back to reality
This is you and me up in the galaxy
Floating round we defy gravity
Then we connect through the energy
Yeah I'm getting love, no money

Ready ready ready ready everybody?
[?]
Steady steady steady steady
[?]

This is you and me up in the galaxy
Floating round we defy gravity
Up in the sky there's our memories
We can bring them back to reality
This is you and me up in the galaxy
Floating round we defy gravity
Then we connect through the energy
Yeah I'm getting love, no money

Life changing, it's a strange thing
Are you ready for what the time gon' bring?
Life changing, it's a strange thing
Are you ready for what this future brings?

I am Ohmni
System above the satellites
Be free to speak
Free to be
Free to experience
And be free to seek
OHMNI
 
I don't know, but I believe
That some things are meant to be
And that you'll make a better me
Everyday I love you

I never thought that dreams came true
But you showed me that they do
You know that I learn something new
Everyday I love you
 
Once in a lifetime
Means there's no second chance
So I believe that you and me
Should grab it while we can
Make it last forever
And never give it back
It's our turn, and I'm loving' where we're at
Because this moment's really all we have
Everyday...
Of our lives,
Wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young
And keep the faith
 
[Shakka:]
My ex left saying she ain't got the time, yo
I double take and pray the e-mail was a typo
I call my mate and now we're in the same life boat
The same day, his was cheating with a shite bloke
Come on now, it's kind of peak
Nice guys should keep all of their receipts
I don't need a shoulder, I'm just looking for a freak
With dirty jokes and a love for tasty meat
Dutty wingmen, to the party we go
Wray and all his nephews reppin' sweet talks
Shakka Khan, meet my Portuguese friend, won't you please
She makes dirty jokes and she loves the way you speak

Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
I'm just looking for a freak
Someone who likes tasty meat
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
I'm just looking for a freak
I hope she likes tasty meat
Say nada

Alley-oop
She's on my brain, five shots is all it took
Mandem make excuses when their line gets a shutdown
I keep it sweet, never really liked my grapes sour (bloodfire)
Whose hands round me?
I can smell the Wray, she's as waved as me
Motions of her wave says she knows how to hula
Gun fingers, spitting all the words to "Money Trees"
Shout-out all the wingmen in the party I know
Wray and all his nephews reppin' sweet talks
Shakka go be my friend's best friend from Belize
She loves TDE, favourite song's "Collard Greens"

Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
I'm just looking for a freak
Someone who likes tasty meat
Say nada
Na na na na na na

[Jme:]
Jme
You want a selfie? Blud I'm raving, please
Am I gonna touch mic? You'll have to wait and see
And if I do, mosh pit blatantly
Shakka's at the bar, waved off Wray's, it's peak
I ain't got my car so I have to pay fifty
To this Uber to get away quickly
Pass the AUX lead and let me play this beat

[Shakka:]
One day I'll make a million (one day I'll make a million)
I'll buy a four-figure ring (buy a four-figure ring)
And she will be a buff-ting (certified buff-ting)
And every night we're going in (every night we're going ham fam)
One day I'll make a million (one day I'll make a million)
I'll get that four-figure ring (buy a four-figure ring)
I'll be hustlin' until then (hustlin' until then)
If she still wants to go in

Say nada
Na na na na na na

And I know you're worried at night I won't find my way
And I'm tired of lying to myself just to get through each day
My head says I shoulda never left
And that my feet will soon lead to my death

I'm starting to question if God's trying to teach me a lesson
I'm starting to wonder if my true colors changed since I left ya

I used to shine bright like gold, now I'm all indigo
My colors are darker and cold, I think it's time that I went home
And I don't understand why I always feel dead and alone
Well, I used to shine bright like gold, now I'm all indigo

I gave up a piece of my heart, then I turned to run
Oh, my head's in the clouds, but I don't feel close to the sun
And the light fades away from my face, and the tears fall like rain
And so I turn my words all into faith, hope it's me that they save
 
We were young
Posters on the wall
Praying we're the ones
That the teacher wouldn't call
We would stare at each other
'Cause we were always in trouble

And all the cool kids
Did their own thing
I was on the outside
Always looking in
Yeah, I was there but I wasn't
They never really cared if I wasn't

We all need that someone
Who gets you like no one else
Right when you need it the most
We all need a soul to rely on
A shoulder to cry on
A friend through the highs and the lows

I'm not gonna make it a-la
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it a-la
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone
 
Uh-oh, who's on who?
Said you let it ring, but it never goes through
My mind's fucked, my head's gone too
The smoke's with the mandem, but the joke's on you
Uh-oh, who's on what?
Don't tell my brothers cah we'll spin the whole block
What we buyin'? Everything you got
Tell them little pussies that we take the whole lot
You ain't got no backbone
I get it out the trap, I ain't got a trap phone
I got Ps and Ms and Ks and Os
They're illiterate with letters, so I'm lettin' n-s know
Used to give them high-fives, now it's just a middle finger
Diamonds on my Patty, do the Bogle when I linger
They think I'm a rapper, I think I'm a singer (yo)
Catch me in the cut, I treat the Urus like a dinger
Get you southern-fried, I'm a South boy on some South ****
This is Chase & Status, this ain't all that fuckin' house ****
I score a goal and I do my dance, I Peter Crouch it
Heard them brothers wanna do me somethin', but I doubt it
Do me somethin' then, do me somethin' if you're bad
My mother calls me Mike, but I think I'm Jack the Lad
Tell us what you're workin' with, don't tell us what you had
I need to start my sentences with "Sorry, may I add" (whoo)
You ain't got no backbone
You ain't got no backbone
Uh-oh, who's on greaze?
Said you got the mash, but you never let it squeeze
My head's hot, my wrist on freeze
I keep a little somethin' for you ***** emcees
Uh-oh, who's on what?
Don't tell my brothers, cah they'll spin the whole block
What we buyin'? Everything you got (yo)
Tell them little pussies that we take the whole lot (whoo)
You ain't got no backbone
You ain't got no backbone
Do me somethin' then, do me somethin' if you're lit
My mother calls me Mike, but I think I'm the ****
Don't tell us how it used to be, just tell us what it is
They never gave me nothin', so it's fair I take the piss, *****
 

Measuring a summer's day
I only find it slips away to grey

The hours they bring me pain

Tangerine, tangerine
Living reflections from a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years in-between

Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these?

To think of us again
And I do

Tangerine, tangerine
Living reflection from a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
But now a thousand years in-between
 
I don't like the lie I'm living
I'm way too nice and too forgiving
I wanna go back to the beginning
When it all felt right

A rooftop, Lower East Side, I'm singing
Didn't give a **** if I was winning
It's all done now, so who am I kidding?
I'm doing way worse than I'm admitting
 
No, I'm-, no, I'm not-, no, I'm not the same
No, I'm not the same, no, I'm not the same
No, I'm not the,
No, I'm not the same, uh
I think I done changed, yeah
Woo, woo, woo
No, I'm not the same, fool (not the same, no)
I think I done changed, fool, uh
See somethin' not the same, fool (not the same, no)
I used to walk into the room head down
I don't walk, now I float
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
They hangin' on to that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
I don't step, I don't walk, I don't dance, I just
Float, float, float, float
I don't dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float
Mm, I just float
I'm light as a feather, I'm light as a feather
Yeah, baby, I float
It's hard to look at my resume, hoo
And not find a reason to toast
She throwin' that thang in a circle
Makin' it viral, I might just elope
Say, "Listen lil' mama, you like shibari?
Watch while I show you the ropes"
I used to let haters get to me
I used to be my own enemy
Now I done had several epiphanies over some breakfast at Tiffany's
Had to forgive all my frenemies
They are not who they pretend to be
I had to protect all my energy
I'm feelin' much lighter, now I float
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
They hangin' onto that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
I don't step, I don't walk, I don't dance, I just
Float, float, float, float
I don't dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float
Mm, I just float
I wear the attire, check out the robe.
I'm fresh like a pope
I'm doin' my dance on catamarans
And you gotta cope
I'm countin' my blessings, we ain't stressin'
Just look at this glow
I got that magic, I'm really prepared for whatever
Whenever so who want the smoke?
Came back from the future to take all y'all haters
And take all y'all hoes
They said I was bi, yeah, baby
I'm by a whole 'nother coast
She stay in the hills, he stay in Atlanta
I paid for them both
My face card don't come with a limit
I swipe it, I spend it, I swear I be doin' the most
Float, float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
They hangin' on to that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
I don't step, I don't walk, I don't dance, I just
Float, float, float, float
I don't dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float
 

​
I don't believe a word
I know you tell me lies

Just watch me flip the bird
Right in your lying eyes

You just can't figure out
Why I'm the way I am
I'm a lowlife born and bred

And I don't give a damn

I've had enough, stepping out of line
Ain't gonna stop me, babe, you ain't worth a dime
You nearly had me fooled, wastin' all my time
You might've broke my heart, and if you broke my heart
I know it ain't my crime

I'm here to tell you, babe, was here and now I'm gone

You need a wages slave, but I sure ain't the one

I'm moving off the lot, hire another act
I don't need what you got, that ain't where I'm at

I've had enough, stepping out of line
Ain't gonna stop me, babe, ain't worth a dime
You nearly had me fooled, wastin' my time
You might've broke my heart, and if you broke my heart
I know it ain't my crime

Just show me to the door, here I go again
I seen it all before, happens now and then

No tears in your eyes, sure ain't none in mine

Two people in disguise, frozen in time

I've had enough, stepping out of line
Ain't gonna stop me, babe, you ain't worth a dime
You nearly had me fooled, wastin' my time
You might've broke my heart, and if you broke my heart
I know it ain't my crime
​
 
I'm not above a love to cash in
Another lover underneath those flashin' lights
Another one of those ruthless nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I shoulda guessed that this would happen
I shoulda known it when I looked in your red, hot eyes
Spewin' all your red, hot lies
Yeah, yeah, yeah

What's the worst part of this hell?
I can only blame myself '

Cause I know you're poison
You're feedin' me poison
Addicted to this feelin', I can't help but swallow
Up your poison
I made my choice and
Every night I'm livin' like there's no tomorrow

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me, I'll be yours
My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

I got so good at bein' untrue
I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear
I disassociate, disappear
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So far beyond difficult to resist another gulp
Yeah, I know it's poison
You're feedin' me poison I'm chokin' from the taste and I can't help but swallow
Up your poison I made my choice and
Every night I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me, I'll be yours
My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

Poison, I'm drownin' in poison I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow
Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison
Wish I had something to live for tomorrow
 
And I can still see it all (in my mind)
All of you, all of me (intertwined)
I once believed love would be (black and white)
But it's golden (golden)
And I can still see it all (in my head)
Back and forth from New York (sneaking in your bed)
I once believed love would be (burning red)
But it's golden
 
(Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)

Always been loud in a quiet way
I always feel low in a crowded place
I always wanna stay, wanna go
Wanna stay, wanna go, I don't know
I don't know
I get sad on my birthday
I wanna talk back in the worst way
I always wanna stay, wanna go
Wanna stay, wanna go
I don't know what to say
I wanna throw it all away

I feel like a zombie, I'll die at the party
Yeah, you'll find my body fully covered in confetti
I tried calling somebody to tell them, "Come, get me"
But you'll find my body fully covered in confetti

Singin' la-da-da-da-da (Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)
La-da-da-da-da (Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)
La-da-da-da-da (Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)
La-da-da-da-da (Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)

Find me in the club looking golden
I know everyone, I got no friends
I always wanna stay, wanna go
Wanna stay, wanna go, I don't know
I don't know
And I never know what to say
'Til I'm already walkin' away
Wanna punch you in the face
But I won't, but I might, but I won't
And I don't wanna play
I wanna throw it all away

I feel like a zombie, I'll die at the party
Yeah, you'll find my body fully covered in confetti
I tried calling somebody to tell them, "Come, get me"
But you'll find my body fully covered in confetti

Singin' la-da-da-da-da (Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)
La-da-da-da-da (Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)
La-da-da-da-da (Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)
La-da-da-da-da (Mmm-mmh, mm-mm)

Look at the people, they're crazy
Look at the people, they're crazy
Look at the people, they're crazy
Look at the pupils dilatin'
Look at the people, they're crazy (Crazy)

I feel like a zombie, I'll die at the party
Yeah, you'll find my body fully covered in confetti
I tried calling somebody to tell them, "Come, get me" (Come get me)
But you'll find my body fully covered in confetti

Singin' la-da-da-da-da
 
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova

'Cause people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova

'Cause people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high [repeat until fade]
 
I wanna start this out and say I gotta get it off my chest
Got no anger, got no malice
Just a little bit of regret
Know nobody else will tell you
So there's some things I gotta say
Gonna jot it down and then get it out
And then I'll be on my way

No, you're not half the man you think that you are
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you

Oh, I feel so sorry
I feel so sad
I tried to help you
It just made you mad
And I had no warnin'
About who you are
I'm just glad I made it out without breakin' down
And then ran so fuckin' far
That you would never ever touch me again
Won't see your alligator tears
'Cause, no, I've had enough of them

Let me start this off by sayin'
I really meant well from the start
Take a broken man right in my hands
And then put back all his parts

But you're not half the man you think that you are
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, girls and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you

Oh, I feel so sorry (I feel so sorry)
I feel so sad (I feel so sad)
I tried to help you (I tried to help you)
It just made you mad
And I had no warnin' (I had no warnin')
About who you are ('bout who you)
Just glad I made it out without breakin' down
Oh, I feel so sorry (I feel so sorry)
I feel so sad (I feel so sad)
I tried to help you (I tried to help you)
It just made you mad
And I had no warnin' (I had no)
About who you are ('bout who you)
'Bout who you are

Hey
Hey
Hey Hey

'Cause you're not half the man you think that you are
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you

I feel so sad
You should be sad
You should be
You should be sad
You should be
You should be
You should be
