Then I Fall

(chorus)

and then I fall

and I can't get back up at all

instead I stay on the floor

it's where I belong

it's always a defeat

instead of a single win

that I could severely need

at this point it's no surprise

and then I

call up my confidant

say one prayer or a lot

so I'm alive not dying

but that's not saying much

I want a chance or a shot

God please give me all you got

while I'm hanging on

before I give up it all

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

one, two, and three

there is no job for me

that interview, I blew it like a candle

alone is a way of life

not a thing that makes me stronger

just weaker

I tell myself before I sleep

there's no reason to weep

(chorus)

and then I fall

and I can't get back up at all

instead I stay on the floor

it's where I belong

it's always a defeat

instead of a single win

that I could severely need

at this point it's no surprise

and then I

call up my confidant

say one prayer or a lot

so I'm alive not dying

but that's not saying much

I want a chance or a shot

God please give me all you got

while I'm hanging on

before I give up it all

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

sensing a change

in the pattern of the dull

mapping out a plan

of a futile list of actions

when I wake up tomorrow

things will still be the same

as they were

if only

my skin starts to chill

an unwanted thrill

(chorus)

and then I fall

and I can't get back up at all

instead I stay on the floor

it's where I belong

it's always a defeat

instead of a single win

that I could severely need

at this point it's no surprise

and then I

call up my confidant

say one prayer or a lot

so I'm alive not dying

but that's not saying much

I want a chance or a shot

God please give me all you got

while I'm hanging on

before I give up it all

(end chorus)

(bridge)

never mind the criticisms

they pile up like useless articles

I decided I will keep trying

always mind those dear to you

their company is so beautiful

take the time to keep them lovely

all these lessons I've learned

don't help much, darling

but they do not hurt either at all

if I am missing

don't look for me one bit

I found what I searched for, happiness

I found happiness

I found happiness

I found happiness

Stay By You

(verse 1)

I will, oh yes I will

I will stay by you

I will, oh yes I will

calling me on the darkest of days over

only to say to me then "I'm done, over"

when I set out to save you by replying "over"

you tell me not to worry and don't come over

those thoughts that creep on you aren't over

like the wind on a silent night, they chill you and fill you with fear, right?

I'm fading out and losing grip on reality over

one day you'll see nothing out of your window

more of giving up without fighting

more of starving without loving

more of giving instead of having

(chorus)

the pinch that you are in, my friend

I'll pick you up and then I'll stay by you

without waving and saying goodbye

the light will shine on your sadness and it'll be over

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

while studying and thinking the situation over

a message pops up, "don't forget about me, over"

I'm already ahead of you I'm coming over

before you do something regrettable over

reaching out for somebody but no will will take your hand, over

it's sad but nothing to worry over

one day the sins will be purified over

even if I'm gone I'll hear your voice from far away

more of giving up without fighting

more of starving without loving

more of giving instead of having

(chorus)

the pinch that you are in, my friend

I'll pick you up and then I'll stay by you

without waving and saying goodbye

the light will shine on your sadness and it'll be over

(end chorus)

(bridge)

without warning

or one word

terrifying

but it happens

but what counts

are the actions taken

so the future will stay bright for you

I'll always be here watching over it all

I miss you

(chorus)

the pinch that you are in, my friend

I'll pick you up and then I'll stay by you

without waving and saying goodbye

the light will shine on your sadness

so yes, the pinch that you are in, my friend

I'll pick you up and then I'll stay by you

without waving and saying goodbye

the light will shine on your sadness and it'll be over

(end chorus)

(ending)

I will, oh yes I will

I will stay by you

I will, oh yes I will

it's over, the call is over





Midnight Boy
(verse 1)
running freely through the streets
staying on the edge of seats
always having bad thoughts on my mind
dancing on the edge of knives
playing games with our lives
the invincibility of youth keeps us in a bind

(chorus)
a midnight boy at play is like a wild stray
I told you to, I told you to keep yourself at bay
this smile on my face is the first warning
life is beautiful only for the young
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
falling in love willingly
lies spread during a party
these feelings surely will end badly
whispering to them sweetly
"midnight's coming soon, baby"
under the fall of dark, they'll make a move
it's not like that
they scream out
being misunderstood is a way of life
and then when they strike out
words don't fix a thing

shadows

(chorus)
a midnight boy cornered is not a coward
you told me, you told me to wander discreetly
these streets at night are a wonderful sight
being ourselves like this is a fresh breath
(end chorus)

(bridge)
running freely through the streets
staying on the edge of seats
always having bad thoughts on my mind
dancing on the edge of knives
playing games with our lives
the invincibility of youth keeps us in a bind

don't do that, don't be mad
they're not all that bad
before the day breaks
let's raise the stakes

shadows

(chorus)
a midnight boy at play is like a wild stray
I told you to, I told you to keep yourself at bay
this smile on my face is the first warning
life is beautiful only for the young
(end chorus)

(chorus)
a midnight boy cornered is not a coward
you told me, you told me to wander discreetly
these streets at night are a wonderful sight
being ourselves like this is a fresh breath

(ending)
a beautiful night
only for me
a beautiful night
only for me




EYES
(chorus)
in these brown eyes I see
the one and only key
don't tell me a lie
because I will not buy
the excuses that are offered up to me
I can feel my youth flee
you give and then you take
sneaking like a spy
the light shines though
and clears up the sin
the tears shed here will never ever die
(end chorus)

(verse 1)
the word all around
is that it's going down

a sleepy town that will burn

due to the search for my golden crown

may they have, may they have, may they have a piece of

mercy, mercy, mercy for the damned

for hell hath no fury like I do

(chorus)

in these brown eyes I see
the one and only key
don't tell me a lie
because I will not buy
the excuses that are offered up to me
I can feel my youth flee
you give and then you take
sneaking like a spy
the light shines though
and clears up the sin
the tears shed here will never ever die
(end chorus)

(verse 2)

taking the long way is damned exhausting

these feelings will catch fire and spread all day

dreams are just nice illusions

talking, talking, taking up time

getting closer, closer, closer to hell

nobody cares if you ruin yourself

(chorus)
in these brown eyes I see
the one and only key
lost in reality
because I will not move
everybody knows best at all dire times
my youth is in jeopardy
you give and then you take
pretending to be shy
the light shines though
and clears up my sky
now I can fly
(end chorus)

(bridge)

may they have, may they have, may they have a piece of

mercy, mercy, mercy for the damned

for hell hath no fury like I do

(chorus)

in these brown eyes I see
the one and only key
don't tell me a lie
because I will not buy
the excuses that are offered up to me
I can feel my youth flee
you give and then you take
sneaking like a spy
the light shines though
and clears up the sin
the tears shed here will never ever die

may we never forget what happened here
(end chorus)

I Get Lonely Too
(chorus)
I get lonely too
can't let you feel that same blue
along with me, along with me
if I'm going down
I'm going down alone
I get too lonely
can't let you stand by with me
on one's own, on one's own
need not a soul near
my dear, this is my exclusive zone
(end chorus)

(verse 1)
sitting here crying tears
all alone with my fears
back in the day
I wanted a friend
now I just want the day to end

I fell asleep by myself
proves that I'm fine solo
sure right now I've sunk so low
but I don't need an embrace

(chorus)
I get lonely too
can't let you feel that same blue
along with me, along with me
if I'm going down
I'm going down alone
I get too lonely
can't let you stand by with me
on one's own, on one's own
need not a soul near
my dear, this is my exclusive zone
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
I still vaguely remember that day
deciding I am just fine
in fact, it keeps me kind
living as a party for one

no, I'm not being a bachelor
independence is what this is
before that face starts to deplore
I don't care what anyone says

(chorus)
I get lonely too
can't let you feel that same blue
along with me, along with me
if I'm going down
I'm going down alone
I get too lonely
can't let you stand by with me
on one's own, on one's own
need not a soul near
my dear, this is my exclusive zone
(end chorus)

(chorus)
I get lonely too
can't let you feel that same blue
along with me, along with me
if I'm going down
I'm going down alone
I get too lonely
can't let you stand by with me
on one's own, on one's own
need not a soul near
my dear, this is my exclusive zone
(end chorus)

(bridge)
I'm going to break it down
break it down, break it down

so try to get close
but I'll keep you at arm's length
it's not that I don't like you
it's just that love is not my strength
and I don't need anybody on my wavelength

(chorus)
I get lonely too
can't let you feel that same blue
along with me, along with me
if I'm going down
I'm going down alone
I get too lonely
can't let you stand by with me
on one's own, on one's own
need not a soul near
my dear, this is my exclusive zone
(end chorus)

(chorus)
I get lonely too
can't let you feel that same blue
along with me, along with me
if I'm going down
I'm going down alone
I get too lonely
can't let you stand by with me
on one's own, on one's own
need not a soul near
my dear, this is my exclusive zone
(end chorus)





In Memory Of...
(verse 1)
your sweet voice fades out
I did not hear it
(I should have been by your side)
my final regret is this burden here

losing grip on reality, what's real?
(fantasy is the best place to be)
I dance with my eyes closed
you're dancing towards me

(chorus)
I am so sorry
I was not there at all
to hold your fragile hand
in the final moments
as they laid you down
you wanted help but it did not come
and so here we are
so close yet so far
an angel in the sky
please watch over me
as I continue to places I don't know
a little more lonely now
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
in memory of
those happier times
(they were everywhere you'd go)
I didn't possess the gift you did though

it is a struggle
but they all confidently say
(it gets easier as years go by)
but does it really or is it numbing?

(chorus)
and now I worry
if you were feeling pain
or did it simply wash away like rain?
when you closed your eyes
did you know you wouldn't open them again?
and so here we are
finding this place bizarre
we never imagined this so soon
but it does happen
tragedy can strike
before we least know it
so open up your eyes
(end chorus)

(chorus)
I am so sorry
I was not there at all
to hold your fragile hand
in the final moments
as they laid you down
you wanted help but it did not come
and so here we are
so close yet so far
an angel in the sky
please watch over me
as I continue to places I don't know
a little more lonely now
(end chorus)




I'll Be Missing You
(verse 1)
hey, we've gone a long way on this winding road, right?
but we both know it can't continue on
forever and ever like the wishes that can't come true
hey, as long as we have each other right here, right now
we'll enjoy each other's company
like it's always been

things suddenly changed
but we have not
as always we'll count on each other
until the end of time

(chorus)
until that day so far away
I'll be missing you
and you'll be missing me too
isn't that right?
but until then we go
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
hey, even after that we'll still have each other in our hearts
nothing will rip us apart or make us forget about this simple love
hey, so far we've gone but we haven't seen everything
so let's keep walking a little farther
and see all we want to see

I will care for you
as you've cared for me
remembering all those memories
makes me want more stories

(chorus)
alas that day is a little too close
but we can still enjoy
each other and our company
that's all I want
(end chorus)

(bridge)
singing songs so true
slow dancing too
cooking, laughing, and loving
love will never do
if I have to do without you

(chorus)
until that day so far away
I'll be missing you
and you'll be missing me too
isn't that right?
but until then we go
(end chorus)




Revelation
(chorus)
the lovers line up the streets
while I keep walking straight alone
hand in hand, I stare as I watch them
not understanding why
I cannot have what they all have
not that I need it anymore anyways
I've become accepting of me, myself, and I
(end chorus)

(verse 1)
I believe it was a Monday or maybe Tuesday
when I came upon a revelation
that love isn't necessary or a message
to live a full life

things that aren't needed or wanted
I've got a long list
but the one thing at the top
is the thing I've never had

(chorus)
the lovers line up the streets
while I keep walking straight alone
hand in hand, I stare as I watch them
not understanding why
I cannot have what they all have
not that I need it anymore anyways
I've become accepting of me, myself, and I
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
the world keeps spinning
as I keep desiring
something I also find so trivial
telling myself I have plenty of time
but what to do? I'm running out and quickly

whenever someone reaches out
I become filled with doubt
perhaps it's anxiety
even though I don't really feel nervous

(chorus)
the white snow as far I know
will keep my will cold
as it should be
though even so this feeling
will flare up once again
anything I do for you
would not be enough
though it's just a fear
all I want this year
is someone that I
can tell lovingly "Merry Christmas" to
(end chorus)

(bridge)
before I even realize it myself
I've become so lonely
but then something comes along
that distracts me

(chorus)
the lovers line up the streets
while I keep walking straight alone
hand in hand, I stare as I watch them
not understanding why
I cannot have what they all have
not that I need it anymore anyways
like always, everything stays the same
this shell I can't break out of
I've become accepting of me, myself, and I
(end chorus)




Fortunately, Unfortunately
(verse 1)
I can't see anything going right
unless something is going wrong
it's just another day, not extraordinary a slight
so pick up where I left off
in a book, a show, or meaningless activity
going through the motions
packed with emotions
I finally found a job that I can work
but I found out I'm losing my hair
if it's not one thing, it's another
if it is one thing then it doubles to two

sooner or later I'll come to realize finally
that everything I do is meaningless in the present
up and down, left and right side to side
it's only up to me, I believe

(chorus)
words that I said yesterday
actions that I do today
they conflict and it's not subtle
actually, I would just rather everyone and everything
leave me alone for a long while
if it's not out in the open
then it is a secret for sure
until all is revealed
at that one time long ago
I should have just kept my mouth shut
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
like the world is a playground with many children
I continue to play by myself
just like in the past, present, and future
it's true that somethings never change
credit to the original
the fireworks in the sky distract me
maybe I'm always looking up
hoping that one day I'll fly
so while all these worries pile up
I'll be nervous and gaze into my coffee cup

not yet, not yet there's still more road to see
it's boring and doesn't even have billboards
who that, do that, is that going naturally?
questions that never will be seen

(chorus)
it's that night of the new day
that I said would come to play
and things would be totally new
but nothing changed at all
that's what I get for trying to inspire hope
the messages that I preached before
are nothing but ideals forevermore
but still I pulled wool over my eyes
and spoke nothing but lies
hoping everyone would hold on with me
(end chorus)

(bridge)
does that shock and offend you?
I don't really nor have ever cared
this direction I'm heading in
makes me feel uneasy
even though I worked so hard
the results are absurd
someday maybe it'll all turn around
they say take hold of your destiny
but some things don't come easily
like a conversation with someone you've never met
so I'll keep going
not with a smile but with a puckered face
right out into space
oh oh oh oh

(chorus)
words that I said yesterday
actions that I do today
they conflict and it's not subtle
actually, I would just rather everyone and everything
leave me alone for a long while
if it's not out in the open
then it is a secret for sure
until all is revealed
at that one time long ago
I should have just kept my mouth shut
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
(end chorus)

Deeper

(verse 1)

it's been another 12 hour shift

but we'll be okay 

(chorus)

get deeper, get deeper, get deeper

from front and back and side to side

when are we going to stop working ourselves to death?

get deeper, get deeper, get deeper

I love the trick stuff of life

that make you fall into a trap

get deeper, get deeper, get deeper

everybody wants to act like they're made of stone

surrounded by emeralds on a throne

get deeper, get deeper, get deeper

not if I can help at all

I will not let anyone take me over

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

(hey, what are you doing here?

are you on a quest for riches?

we don't get along

but that's not the point

stop being so stubborn

I guess you're right

you're damn right

let's find that secret key

so we can get inside your heart

let's go)

(chorus)

get deeper, get deeper, get deeper

from front and back and side to side

when are we going to stop working ourselves to death?

get deeper, get deeper, get deeper

I love the trick stuff of life

that make you fall into a trap

get deeper, get deeper, get deeper

everybody wants to act like they're made of stone

surrounded by emeralds on a throne

get deeper, get deeper, get deeper

not if I can help at all

I will not let anyone take me over

(end chorus)

PARADISE

(verse 1)

feelin' good, no matter when no matter how

we gonna find the paradise

you're so fine

so sweet that I get sick

now I wanna be a man

walking down these side streets alone

just another day sighing at the sky

now I check the time on my wrist

but for what reason I wonder myself

reaching out for a hand to grab

and you answered the call wiping my tears with a dab

what are we thinking?

we found a hopeless love but we're falling

into something bad that will end with a broken bottle of Bacardi

still we chase the chance like run-run-running and hide-hide-hiding

from problems that are good at seeking

love isn't a cure, it's a curse

you're intriguing, but let's end this before it gets worse

now that I've come to know you

I can't help but stupidly give up love

all the adults and all the children know

the lovely lovely power gets us feeling

(chorus)

feelin' good, no matter when no matter how

this is a flower-filled paradise

it's so fine

it makes me wanna shake it

me? I wanna be happy

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

all these people pass us by

not caring that we're homeless and alone

only I can count on you

but we don't trust many people not even myself

so what if we had another fight about who is right?

you bolted when my shoe needed a tie

you're the baddest chick on the block

and right here is the baddest boy

so sorry, that I can't play by your rules

because I keep hitting the road

I'm just broken and there's no fixin'

why do you try when I don't even have an abode?

now that I know what I know

I can't help but want to say the peace

all the citizens of the country know

the lovely lovely power can quickly fade

(chorus)

feelin' good, no matter when no matter how

this is a flower-filled paradise

it's so fine

it makes me wanna shake it

me? I wanna be happy

feelin' good, no matter when no matter how

we gonna find the paradise

you're so fine

so sweet that I get sick

now I wanna be a man

(end chorus)

(bridge)

break time! ah yeah!

p to the u to the m to the p pump

b to the u to the m to the p bump

pump bump we out!

pump pump pump pump it up, yo

now that I've come to know you

I can't help but stupidly give up love

all the adults and all the children know

the lovely lovely power gets us feeling

(chorus)

feelin' good, no matter when no matter how

this is a flower-filled paradise

it's so fine

it makes me wanna shake it

me? I wanna be happy

feelin' good, no matter when no matter how

we gonna find the paradise

you're so fine

so sweet that I get sick

now I wanna be a man

feelin' good, now matter when, baby

we gonna find the paradise

(end chorus)

Kick the Rock!

My Planet

(verse 1)

okay

something's calling me, I don't know what

someone's yelling, but I don't know who

something's calling me, more and more

no one stops these knuckles and feet

something's calling me, I don't know what

someone's yelling, but I don't know who

something's calling me, more and more

no one stops these knuckles and feet

d-e-p-r-e-s-s-i-o-n

I keep on depressin'

and it's causes me to be stressin'

were we born only to die?

but we stay shinin'

like we are a diamond

then why do we live with our hearts so cold?

is it to make things easier when we are old?

it's like living in a storm of stones

(how about I set of on an adventure

looking for treasure

it's gets better

doing whatever I want

whenever I want

not worrying about money

not working up a sweat

just living it up

with the time of my life

until I feel much better

though I can't outrun my fate

even with all the passion)

(chorus)

born on an island

in the heavens

the blood of my ancestors flows inside me

my duty is to save the flower

from evil deterioration

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

looking for the pieces of the puzzle

not finding a damn thing funny

even when my vision gets blurry

nothing can stop these knuckles and feet

streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct

are the elements that keep me going

I can fight my own mission

nothing's going to stand in my way

something's calling me, I don't know what

someone's yelling, but I don't know who

something's calling me, more and more

no one stops these knuckles and feet

(chorus)

won't be frightened

I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

just believe in myself, won't rely on others

I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

this is my planet gonna fight for my destiny

something's calling me, I don't know what

someone's yelling, but I don't know who

something's calling me, more and more

no one stops these knuckles and feet

(end chorus)

(verse 3)

I have no such things as weak spots

don't approve of them, but I gotta trust them

searching over mountains for my purpose

because this life is only temporary

(chorus)

won't be frightened

I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

just believe in myself, won't rely on others

I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

this is my planet gonna fight for my destiny

something's calling me, I don't know what

someone's yelling, but I don't know who

something's calling me, more and more

no one stops these knuckles and feet

(end chorus)

(bridge)

I was born like this

to fear no one

taking care of business myself

so keep to yourself

if a fight is started

I battle till the end

everybody is aware of the knuckles that I send

with one look, an enemy is sentenced to death

my fists are like iron and my feet are on fire

I stick to my guns and I won't surrender

I keep fighting until I'm the only contendere

(chorus)

won't be frightened

I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

just believe in myself, won't rely on others

I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

this is my planet 

won't be frightened

I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

just believe in myself, won't rely on others

I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

this is my planet I shall not surrender

something's calling me, I don't know what

someone's yelling, but I don't know who

something's calling me, more and more

no one stops these knuckles and feet

something's calling me, I don't know what

someone's yelling, but I don't know who

something's calling me, more and more

no one stops these knuckles and feet

something's calling me, I don't know what

someone's yelling, but I don't know who

something's calling me, more and more

no one stops these knuckles and feet

My Planet -Part 2-

(verse 1)

here I come, rougher than the rest of them

the best of them, tougher than leather

you can't stop my knuckles

you can't stop my chuckles

I ain't got no muscles

but here watch me flex 'em

I'm tough as nails

it ain't hard to tell

I break 'em down whether they solid or frail

unlike the rest independence is my first breath

first test, if it feels right

there ain't no words left

(chorus)

born on an island

in the heavens

the blood of my ancestors flows inside me

my duty is to save the flower

from evil deterioration

I will be the one to set my heart free true

cleanse yourself of the evil spirits that's in you

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct

are the elements that keep me going

I can fight my own mission

nothing's going to stand in my way

I will be the one to set my heart free true

cleanse yourself of the evil spirits that's in you

(chorus)

won't be frightened

I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

just believe in myself, won't rely on others

I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

this is my planet gonna fight for my destiny

(end chorus)

(verse 3)

here I come, rougher than the rest of them

the best of them, tougher than leather

you can't stop my chuckles

I ain't got no muscles

but here watch me flex 'em

I'm tough as nails

it ain't hard to tell

I break 'em down whether they solid or frail

unlike the rest independence is my first breath

first test, if it feels right

there ain't no words left

I have no such things as weak spots

don't approve of them, but I gotta trust them

searching over mountains for my purpose

because this life is only temporary

I will be the one to set my heart free true

cleanse yourself of the evil spirits that's in you

(chorus)

won't be frightened

I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

just believe in myself, won't rely on others

I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

just believe in myself, won't rely on others

I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

this is my planet I shall not surrender

(end chorus)

(verse 4)

yeah! shall not surrender, no, yeah whoo

the new porcupine on the block with a puffed out chest

out the wilderness with the ruggedness

knock knock, it's my knuckles

the flame thrower, independent flow-er

prized emerald holder

give you the coldest shoulder

I fight with boulders

that's why I'm a loner

I was born by myself

I don't need posse

I get it on by myself

as the baddies get shelved

Ghosts

(verse 1)

I ain't gon let it get to me

I'm just gonna creep

down on darkened hill

I gotta find my lost peace

I know that it's here

I can sense it from my head to my feet

the great power within allows me to feel

I can't see a thing, but it's around somewhere

I'm gonna hold my head high

cuz I have no fear

this probably seems crazy crazy like a graveyard theory

a ghost tried to approach me and got leery

asked him a question and he vanished in a second

I'm walking through valleys

crying help me in the alley

didn't seem happy, but my demons sure tried to get me

had to back 'em up with a fist metal crack 'em

I'm hearing someone saying

"you afraid? don't be scared"

it had to be the wind cuz nobody wasn't there

I search and I search like climbing up a wall

and then I started to fly, I went in deeper

(chorus)

let it get to me?

I'm just going to creep

down on this darkened hill

I got to find my lost peace

I know that it's here

I can sense it from my head to my feet

the great power within that allows me to feel

I can't see a thing, but it's around somewhere

I'm gonna hold my head high

cuz I have no fear

this probably seems crazy crazy like a graveyard theory

Dive

(verse 1)

let's take a dive

into my aquatic mind

once was a bright place

but now it's a dark space

I want to sit back and enjoy the life

and enjoy things I like doin'

like get to shine

it sure beats fighting with them foes all the time

but I gotta do it, they always stay out of line

sometimes I wanna just chill and lamp

but I'm the protector of this sacred place and gems

I stay knuckled up, I'm in a deep cut

it's like my skull will burn and it's trying to cut me off

avoiding my luck, I'm feeling kind of stuck

like I'm in a narrow hallway running

like it's a ballgame

hand tracks be trackin' me to different doorways

in a maze, and I don't know what to do

guaranteed though, I'm a find my own rules

they don't call me weakened for nothing, I can't lose

(chorus)

it sure beats fighting with them foes all the time

but I gotta do it, they always stay out of line

sometimes I wanna just chill and lamp

but I'm the protector of this sacred place and gems

I stay knuckled up, I'm in a deep cut

it's like my skull will burn and it's trying to cut me off

avoiding my luck, I'm feeling kind of stuck

they don't call me weakened, I'm in a box

(end chorus)

Space Trip Steps

(verse 1)

took a shuttle to space

and left my home

at least I got friends and I'm not alone

bad thing was that my sanity spilled

got to search space, man, time to get in

what's this? can't fly or climb

I just can float

hope I don't die

meteors coming my way

weaving, gotta go straight

ain't the criminal, crime don't pay

seen a crazy look on my reflection's face

(chorus)

don't let it hit you, move

don't let it hit you, move

don't let it hit you, move move

don't let it hit you, move

don't let it get your groove

don't let it get your groove

don't let it get your groove, groove

don't let it get your groove

don't let it hit you, move

don't let it hit you, move

don't let it hit you, move move

don't let it hit you, move

don't let it get your groove

don't let it get your groove

don't let it get your groove, groove

don't let it get your groove
