Verse 1 You needed me to be your man And I’m impossible to understand And we could never see, Eye to eye on These demands You left me with nowhere to go Wandering these halls I used to know Something about it is familiar But I no longer feel ya Pre chrs 1 I recognize you in these pictures Your scents still in the air It’s all just more insult to injure And my direction is impaired Chrs 1 I’m lost At home There’s no up or down cuz you’re all I that know I’m so lost At home It’s like there’s no way out We’ve let that door close Post I’m so lost I’m so ooh ooh ooh I’m so lost I’m so ooh ooh Vs 2 I find distraction in the days But the nights are like a maze Of why’s and wishing I Could find the words to make you stay My light of hope is burning dim feeling like the walls are closing in Nothing about this is familiar And I just wanna feel ya Pre chrs 2 I recognize you in these pictures Your scents still in the air It’s all just more insult to injure And my direction is impaired Post I’m so lost I’m so ooh ooh ooh I’m so lost I’m so ooh ooh Chrs 2 I’m lost At home There’s no up or down cuz you’re all I that know I’m so lost At home It’s like there’s no way out We’ve let that door close Bridge I’m not use to feeling so alone They’re Ain’t no coming back from where we’ve gone Pre chrs 3 I recognize you in these pictures Your scents still in the air It’s all just more insult to injure And my direction is impaired Chrs 3 I’m lost At home There’s no up or down cuz you’re all I that know I’m so lost At home It’s like there’s no way out We’ve let that door close Post I’m so lost I’m so ooh ooh ooh I’m so lost I’m so ooh ooh

Verse 1 I’m no fool Your cool ain’t new I’ve seen your kind before Most men are inclined for sure Looks so fine But wolf like eyes If I’m not careful you’ll love me to my demise Pre chorus 1 I know the games you be playin And all that you thinking before that you say it I can smell all your schemes You go sell some other sucka that dream Please don’t mistake me for rude I been in ur shoes baby I’m living proof That there is always a catch Lucky for you it was meeting your match Chorus I know I know where ya go when ya don’t go home Ya don’t go home I know I know that in time it’ll all get old Gets old Post chorus Whatcha gonna do When you’re alone and confused Tryna find your way back to some truth Verse 2 You don’t see why You need to try You think that heart is cold But I feel heat deep in ur soul And you can numb Your pain with fun But soon enough it’s gon be too much to outrun Verse 3 I played them games you been playin Even when I said I’m changin We both know your hopes and dreams Wasn’t dependent on others esteem See Baby you doing the most Looking for love but you move like a ghost And You know there’s always a catch Lucky for you it was meeting your match Chorus I know I know where ya go when ya don’t go home Ya don’t go home I know I know that in time it’ll all get old Gets old Post chorus Whatcha gonna do When you’re alone and confused Tryna find your way back to some truth

I know we been cool for a minute And I don’t mean this the wrong way I heard your new thing ain’t too committed now So there’s something I been wanna say Was hoping we could do more than kick it Cuz everything you are makes my heart race For this moment I been wishing Between a rock and hard place cuz we're just our type, why deny compatibility Please don't be shy, we cant fight this kinda chemistry I can tell you want to So baby won't you come through And if it ain't everything that you want we can still be friends you know that I want you look what you got me going through we ain't even gotta be forever but at least make t good til the end... Look… Ain’t no need to complicate this So Maybe just let the vibe lead We don’t even gotta name it baby I can play it cool for the time being Just Tell me you can picture what I’m painting Each brush stroke playing out your wild dreams (made from our) You know that any way you frame it It’s looking like We’d make a fine team (Slate is wiped clean) cuz we're just our type, why deny compatibility Please don't be shy, we cant fight this kinda chemistry I can tell you want to So baby won't you come through And if it ain't everything that you want we can still be friends you know that I want you look what you got me going through we ain't even gotta be forever but at least make t good til the end... Pablito RAP I can tell you want to So baby won't you come through And if it ain't everything that you want we can still be friends you know that I want you look what you got me going through we ain't even gotta be forever but at least make t good til the end...

Love bird Verse 1 Her love is strong Wild and free Comes and goes like a leaf in the breeze Never heard a song so mild and sweet Far from home she’s made a nest in every tree Chorus 1 My Love bird don’t need no solid ground Oh how I love her But could never keep her down My love bird who’s soul was born to fly And tho I love her I could never make her mine VERSE 2 A heart of gold She brings me peace And When I’m low She’s the wind beneath my wings She could do no wrong far as I can see She flies on But leaves her heart behind with me Chorus 2 My Love bird don’t need no solid ground Oh how I love her But could never keep her down My love bird who’s soul was born to fly And tho I love her I could never make her mine Bridge See I’ve made my peace With my baby’s needs Who am I to keep Somebody from, who they’re born to be Chorus 3 My Love bird don’t need no solid ground Oh how I love her But could never keep her down My love bird who’s soul was born to fly And tho I love her I could never make her mine Adlibs out

VS 1 If you gon bring them bags with ya Make sure they got whatcha need Cuz when shit gets heavy You ain't riding for free PRE 1 All these voices, all thee voices Saying who I need to be All these choices, all these choices But which one is really me CHRS 1 Get outta my head Give me room to breathe You want me grow Let me sow these seeds VS 2 Everybody want the win Without the effort in Its owed to em Like success was their next of kin We never wise When insecurity drives He always on the run, plus that muhfuckah lies I tried And Watch the love of my life Just walk away I wasnt lovin her right Man Part of me died, the other really knew I would thrive Bittersweet and that's how the cookie crumble sometime And it's aite, just aware of how I'm dealing Cause All our trauma got my family scared of feelings Smoke, drink, fuck, pray and pay your way to healing Just wanna see us rise, like there ain't no fuckin ceiling My pops clean now he part of the plan Goddamn it's complicated, but at least he understands That I ain't judging he was dealt a harder hand I'm just trying to break this cycle of a broken Man. PRE 2 All these voices, all these voices Saying who I need to be All these choices, all these choices But which one is really me CHRS 2X Get outta my head Give me room to breathe You want me grow Let me sow these seeds

Haters always tryna kill a dream I call em motivation guillotines They’ll tell you anything’s impossible Cuz you’re nothing like they ever seen Cuz everybody wanna be a boss Till they see what all that really cost If you ain’t grinding I ain’t got the time I can’t afford to come up on a loss Chrs 1 Cuz I, take life Into my own hands Yea I, take life Into my own hands Verse 2 Don’t be silly this ain’t bout no money It’s so much bigger man ain’t nothing funny Finna bring the fam a dinner plate For all them days of work when others ate See I’ll be damned to put in my time To be overlooked and minimized But I don’t need nobody’s handouts My hustle keep me in demand now Chrs 2 Cuz I, take life Into my own hands Yea I, take life Into my own hands Bridge I’m gonna see the day When all my dues are paid And on these tracks that I’ve laid There’s a train going my way Chrs Cuz I, take life Into my own hands Yea I, take life Into my own hands Outro Into my own hands, My own hands 4x
