Heard A Song 04:44
Let me take you To a place where all words allude, no name Make or break you Everything you hear seem so strange Let it overthrow you Let it build up lay you down that change The rhythm seems to flow through Every part of your body you feel it the same Keep on hearing the same drop But cant remember the notes now as clear as it was I prayed that it would stop Then I turned around begged it to return once gone Play one more time for me One more time just to know So play one more time for me One more time for me just to know I heard a song last night Can’t remember but I’ll try It went ... It begins how it ends, ascending with a symphony of strings Just to drop you down again Feel every hair on your skin Aint nowhere too deep you can sink Should the sound of silence descend Would you seek to forget or to find it again So beautiful a thing, most unique of a blend Any tribute would surely fall short and offend Keep on hearing the same drop But can’t remember the notes now as clear as it was I prayed that it would stop Then I turned around begged it to return once gone Play one more time for me One more time just to know So play one more time for me One more time for me just to know I heard a song last night Can’t remember but I’ll try It went... I HEARD A SONG LAST NIGHT The sweetest thing I ever heard in life It went na na a na a na

Mr Lonely 04:37
Mr lonely thing Even in the end I’ll be in my room Just where I always been I and I alone with the tune Mr lonely thing Not coming down anytime soon But thanks for noticing Made a song I wrote you Thoughts screaming walls and ceilings Welcome my world please leave shoes in the deep end Put your feet refreshments are frequent Wave goodbye your ration and reason Get in place for a passionate evening Or week or a day all depend on the season think See the motion of days when I blink Think you close, I’m the brink I’m In my ocean with holes in my sink Now baby boy row this boat ashore See the lands of time before Speak of what they wrote and war But war no first n foremost Too many of those peace in my dojo Dim the light low, hear fine notes Peace of mind as it shine through smoke Mr lonely thing Even in the end I’ll be in my room Just where I always been I and I alone with a tune Mr lonely thing The only thing he hold is tune But thanks for noticing I do hope you’ll come down Paint the skies all different kinds Of colours you never seen your life Grow your mind to hu mungous sizes New horizon you’ll be so surprised what you’ll see I sail where the melody be Where the weather be blesser when we roll with the breeze Wrote you a letter sent but from dream We’ll be together in the moment you sleep The moment you wake fill those pages for me take your time, take as long as you need I know that you’re fine, you’re focused and free don’t forget you must give to receive And I know that you feel it too Like no one understands Overwhelmed feeling broken and bruised I’m sending my love to you Mr lonely thing Even in the end I’ll be up in my room Just where I always been I and I alone with the tune Mr lonely thing Not coming down anytime soon But thanks for noticing Made a song I wrote you Love me the sound but fearing the fade Nothings forever yeh that’s what they say So do as you will and come as you may Mr lonely is sure too remain

I’m just looking at you Like some kinda fool I’m drawn to the way that you move Out of sorts I don’t know what to do It’s something big I can’t describe Maybe the way that you move in the lights Little piece of sun you make a man blind I could sit here and watch you all night Oh boy what a sweet sight What is this a creature that before my eyes Little piece of sun you make a gal shine I could sit and watch you all night And should she notice my zone I’d smile along with a nod let her know I care not to impose on your toast Just so you I came and leaving alone And should he catch me alone I’d give it right back but he seem so cold Maybe he shy like many I know Not planning no attack just a smile and withold Just looking you Like some kind of fool I’m drawn to the way that you move Out of sorts I don’t know what to do I’m just looking at you Like some kinda fool I’m drawn to the way that you move Some things you see are best let be No matter how good they may seem Greedy men want than more than needs And hungry girls aint that easy please I ponder on what could be, wonder if you feeling me I wonder what type he seek a bad gal or nice clean I bet she got the man of dreams, a life full of cars and rings I bet he got a voice that sings to whisper me sweet nothings I’ve been left for dry and tossed aside A walk in my past ain’t no beautiful sight I’ve been fooled and lied to Who am I to assume I could Fear not my dear I’m most sincere And I came seek not interfere What you possess is bold and clear And I dare not approach I’m just looking at…. Just looking you Like some kind of fool I’m drawn to the way that you move Out of sorts I don’t know what to do I’m just looking at you Like some kinda fool I’m drawn to the way that you move

Big Smoke 04:53
Those who have and who don’t This is what you gunna see on the road People’ll sleep on the street every day Benz white rims gold Aint got no food on the plate Benz white rims gold Save all the pennies rattle your change Benz white rims gold Oooh Where you gonna sleep tonight On the streets or safe inside Oooh What you gonna eat tonight The city corrupts my mind This is the town that’s riddled with fears Everyone sees you but nobody cares Folks are freezing colder than air Most will judge on the clothes you wear Beware when you roam at night There’s hungry fools with mad appetite Armed with guns and knives The minimal mind be stealing your life Nothing is what the people say They know what they see but they looking away I’m begging a chance for folks to rise and See them new horizons leave the routes violence Needless youths are dying lullabies of sirens Nobody bats and eyelid Just slumbering in silence so peaceful and deceitful Gives you reason for your blindness Those who have and who don’t This is what you gunna see on the road People’ll sleep on the street every day Benz white rims gold ( normal, high, mid, low) Aint got no food on the plate Benz white rims gold Save all the pennies rattle your change Benz white rims gold Where you gonna go, what you gonna do, Where you gonna sleep, what you gonna eat? You live all your life in a house of the same Suddenly having to move far away Leaving it all that you knew in a day But get cash now you’re welcome to stay The bigger the block the cheaper the place The more kids you got the bigger the space The more they can see you and study your face At the end of the day, they know you by name I’m begging for a chance for folks to rise and See them new horizons no don’t leave them all behind now From adults down to minors, just seeking fair alignment They fallen through the cracks in the name of her highness And now you see they slumbering, I say they peacefully silent Never seem to want to ponder on the struggle of migrants Wanna Deny their back bone built wealth the island Send them back where they came with the tide Never seen again Those who have and who don’t This is what you gunna see on the road People’ll sleep on the street every day Benz white rims gold Aint got no food on the plate Benz white rims gold Save all the pennies rattle your change
