Pedal to the metal I've got a need for speed, Taking off avoiding every assassins creed, Rated e for everyone, no one is excluded, in the game til this thing is concluded, Life is always hittin me, I'm duckin so it will keep missing me, Trying to get a flawless victory, And that's always the aim, And since life is a game, I'll be in it like ea sports, I may push pause but I'll never abort. Not even as a last resort, Even if I fall just a little short, Retry retry is why we try got to pass this to challenge to proceed, trying to score high, or I will have to redo, meet the goal I will see to, me n you this is just what we do, live play a be true. Chorus We want what we want and try not to settle, All we really want is to reach the next level, Putting in time trying to do something special, All we really want is to reach the next level, X2 Verse We are living life in story mode, no secret tunnels and no access to cheat codes, we get what we get and should appreciate every bit, make moves commit, and have no time to sit, there's goals to achieve, and levels to be reached, things that we need and we need coins for each, holding on to the controller trying to keep control, staying prepared and trying to anticipate every scroll, this is the game of life and like mongo I'm just a pawn, all I can do is stay strong, got to play on, get on the grid like tron, and keep making these songs, even when I'm getting knocked around like pong, I've got to stand tall and face what's in front of me, I've got to open that door and make that discovery, and as I get older my moves become bolder, I'm going going to live this life until this game is over. We want what we want and try not to settle, All we really want is to reach the next level, Putting in time trying to do something special, All we really want is to reach the next level, X2We want what we want and try not to settle, All we really want is to reach the next level, Putting in time trying to do something special, All we really want is to reach the next level, X2

I can get it, we can get it, they can get it, he can get it, she can they can get it, I will get it X2 verse Never going to quit, going to keep chasing, Brace yourself for something amazing, Spit fire to a track that is banging, Blasting off leaving a trail that is blazing, Overcome any obstacle I'm facing, This is the reason that I am racing, no matter the place that I am placing, Or the opponent I am facing, I'm a Master of my craft who's a bad mother like shaft, and shuts mouths that are in his path, like priest I've always got some Superfly shit, I kick ass like Jim Kelley when I spit, spitting strong like sweet back I've got a bad ass song, and with this bad ass song, with a mic in his hand, saying what I'm about, I'm like Goldie on the track and I'm going to work it out, chorus High speed...

A Love True 03:30
Verse Old school love songs that you relate too, You have found a person who now dates you, Every moment you find the time to be with them, Even see a little less of your friends, Talks of the future uncertain what that is, Talks of marriage and talks of kids, Talks of the life you'll build, Talk so much that your guts gets spilled, Suddenly this person knows everything about you, suddenly this person can't live without you, And the feeling is reciprocated, a bond that will never ever become dislocated, So you know what the next step will be, ever after you'll live happily, mr will become we, as you take a knee and say will you marry me, Chorus Once in a lifetime, you find a love that is one of kind x2 Verse When you've found the one you want to be with, you must recognize that you've been given a gift, Many people spend their whole life looking for it, When you've found it man you can't ignore it, Embrace what's starring you in the face, true love is not something that can be replaced, It's worth the work that a relationship takes, there will be some hurt, and there will be some mistakes, Just realize that in the end itll be alright, its worth every argument its worth every fight, so fight on and keep love strong, cause you got a bond, that beat on, that you don't want to be gone, the fight for love could never be wrong, a lifetime is long, and it only happens once is the point of this song stay with the love in which you belong, Chorus Once in a lifetime, you find a love that is one of kind x2Chorus Once in a lifetime, you find a love that is one of kind x2

H8 Not 04:47
Chorus Love is not illegal, who are you to judge people, their preference is not evil and your argument is feeble, They shouldn't have to fight geez, Just let them have their rights please. Verse Take a moment to think of your position, Take a moment to rethink your mission, Do you really think it's right to with hold rights? Are you that scared of change that you look at progress with freight, How do you know what god hates? Do you realize discrimination goes beyond race? Do you understand your bigotry? Do you feel that slope getting slippery? Can you look beyond your ignorance, People's happiness should not be seen with indiference, What's it to you who is together or not, Leave these people alone and let them tie the knot... Chorus Love is not illegal, who are you to judge people, their preference is not evil and your argument is feeble, They shouldn't have to fight geez, Just let them have their rights please. Verse If you don't think it's right to marry the sex, Then don't marry the same sex, People fighting things that to their lives there are no effects, These actions are the type of things that get me vexed, If your kids are gay then they will be gay, No gay PDA will cause them to sway that way, Your intolerance I wish would go away Your outdated principles don't apply today, Equality for all should already be, Hopefully change will come steadily, Despite your efforts they are still together, Everybody has the right to love whomever... With emphasis on the 1, I must say that intolerance should be practiced by none, Key C Without your hate you can begin to tolerate,

Verse Sung Taking on the world today, Upon my shoulders there is a heavy weight, it seems Things are not going my way, And I'm really not feeling the wait, Wandering lost like a stray, Might just be too much on my plate, Looking for a better day Maybe I need to meditate, Chorus In front of these walls you know what you got to do, you got to break through Verse Sung My bills are more than my pay I know that y'all can relate, I just realized today. That half of my bills are late, To pay them I can't find a way, So I guess they will just have to wait Needless to say that I'm not ok Can I go on in my current state Chorus In front of these walls you know what you got to do, you got to break through Verse Sung Head spinning like the records I play, Is this really going to be my fate, This can't be the way it will stay, Or an exit I may contemplate, Hoping some day in my favor it will sway , Perhaps some day I get a clean slate, If not I will still be ok, Cause everybody knows that life is great,

Make Change 04:37
Chorus I read the news today, and I must say, that people are hurting in ways, that we can't understand or explain, but must aid come on let's bring about change. X2 Verse In the morning rising as my eyes widen, I check out what's going on world wide and nothing I'm finding is surprising, another case reported of people taking advantage of people, and everyday worldwide, evil is consumed by even more evil, and the truth is hidden and Lyes behind lies, and is shielded from our eyes, kept from us, but still affects our lives, people living in pain, and it's insane when our military's used in vein, these brainwashed brains that are trained and tested like machines, but militaries are made of people like silent green, wether aggression from oppression or depression from recession, I can't help but question everything I mention, until we break the tension and learn from history's lessons, and carry this world into a new direction. Chorus I read the news today, and I must say, that people are hurting in ways, that we can't understand or explain, but must aid come on let's bring about change. X2 Verse Wether you've noticed or not, this world is a messed up spot, in case you forgot, someone will always have a bigger problem than the one you've got, bad things happen a lot, innocent people are shot, people's rights are fought and hatred is taught, if you think it's good well it's not, wars are fought without justification , nations are led by corrupt administrations, poor kids who feel that dreams are just hopeless, a traveling man walks around homeless, hungry and cloth less , with the economy driving him further down, no address and no work to be found, poverty, the leading cause of crime, so many poor people doing time, with the frame of mind that I have to take theirs to get mine, no efficient tools in these inner city schools, how do expect a kid to excel, with oh dated books and a set up to fail... With less money for education than for war, our kids will grow up in and out of jail. Chorus I read the news today, and I must say, that people are hurting in ways, that we can't understand or explain, but must aid come on let's bring about change. X2 Verse If I could change the world I would but I can't, I would if I could but all I can do is rant, stand outside and chant, so my people chant with me, scream for the people without a choice, scream for the people without a voice, races and religions differ so genocides occur, the sounds of screams coming from suffering human beings, a terrible scene that these occasions will bring, a crying child sitting by their parent's corpse, alone and scared, people born impaired, not given much of a chance, a dictators got people terrified to take a stance, a suicide bomber walks through a crowded place, a rape victims lifelong pain will never be erased, above the law cops anticipating 41 shots, reading what I'm reading I wish it would all stop! Key C Chorus I read the news today, and I must say, that people are hurting in ways, that we can't understand or explain, but must aid come on let's bring about change. X2

Verse I try to remember him alive, rather than dead, but the vision is embedded in my head, of seeing my grandfather die in a hospital bed, We sat and watched counting down his life as his heart rate dropped, and we stayed with him until his heart had completely stopped, Even though I knew they wouldn't, I couldn't help sitting there hoping that his eyes would open, and I was saddened when it didn't happen, he left me with memories that are fond, but the flat line was a harsh reminder that my grandfather was gone, grandfather was gone... Chorus Doom ba ba, doom ba ba, doom ba ba, Doom ba ba, doom ba ba, doom ba ba Doom ba ba, doom ba ba, doom baba Doom ba ba, doom ba ba, yay yay Verse Dedicated to the memory of him, wish I could say it to his face that I love, felt the pain of the loss on the face of my cousins, him, to lose a person who's been a part of your life the whole time it existed, used to make me mad when he messed up my hair, now I kind of miss it, felt it when my father cried, felt my grandmother's smile, knowing she was hurting inside, felt it when she had to decide, felt the loss of a proud man with a lot of pride, felt it though I tried to keep it seen on the outside, I felt it when my grandfather died. Chorus Copy Doom ba ba, doom ba ba, doom ba ba, Doom ba ba, doom ba ba, doom ba ba Doom ba ba, doom ba ba, doom baba Doom ba ba, doom ba ba, yay yay Verse He'll never see me accomplish any of my goals, never be able to do everything I wanted to do for him as a whole, now I promise I'll do everything I can do, to make sure the family always remembers you, grandpa I don't think with words I told you how much I appreciated everything you've done, now I'm going to say it in front of everyone, makes me realize I should tell people how I feel while they're alive, so this I'm going to do, to my whole family, I've got to say it. I love you
