Hear me out when I speak Tryna do it for my niggas back in Franklin, Tennessee - ah Thats where I lived when I was down and then up again Thats where I stayed when I traveled more to Michigan To see G-Parents But now I'm staring at my life in the mirror Tryna make it all clearer ''fore I fall back down again... I was raised in 01, in the Boro Use to rock LA purple gold with a torso Finish Line kicks, strapped up with some low cuts Fresh White-T, and piece from my old Church But now I'm older. Feelin' good to play the part Grown Simba for a second, but I'm minutess from the start Yeah I had some homies back in 03, now they all Low Key When I come to visit, they dont know me Fuck'em all, fuck'em all. Thats what my minds telling me But I got a feeling they gone need me for a recipe I never felt evil from start but theres sin in eyes So when I catch'em, I will never feel surprised ~ Girls still calling. Niggas gone need me When they seeking for the help, I won't see'em like I'm Stevie Catch'em all off guard and put my plan into action They gone owe a lot of debt and have a bad transaction Paybacks a female ~ I never call a lady one Raised by my mother. So respectful to everyone Ugh Come at me with that ugly shit Deuces to your grave and ill probably take your Wifey Chick Talk like a nice guy, on that real nigga shit Excuse me for the French, but I dont ever bullshit Did it for my niggas back in Franklin Got the game washed up, now they all needin Napkins ~ Back in 05, I saw my sister graduated I was glad to be present, but even better to be related And now she got 2 kids and doing herself better than others Single mom living her life, better than mothers Dang, people change as time aged Time for others to start there role and be staged~ ~Time for others to grow up and be amazed That you can do more in your life than passed days Ugh Back in 07, a love in my life had passed and gone forever But never forgotten Physical was good riddance, Your image was visioned But mentality mind state..I prayed when they didnt~ ~Back in 08, had lady that moved out of state Love of my life but it didnt turn out so great We had some UP and DOWNS, but never will I turn back Everyone has changed and nothing that I want back Yeah that's kind of harsh, but I will never regret Anything that I have said. I hope you never forgot~ ~In 09, I was looking damn fine Pulling every chick. Pretty sure I pulled a couple 9's Called a bunch names like Player and a Casanova Nowadays, those same girls smashin every guy they see I see ~ everything had a purpose But what was my purlose for me to still deserve this~ ~Telling a life story is courage. Telling my story is love Cause I never knew what I had until all of the above Shoutout to my team, Franklin, and back to Spring Hill Without yall, I'd be nothing. I hope you know how I feel And I can say I taught myself while writing this verse I learned a lot. I hope it was all worth it.

[Verse 1] I say forget the world, cause I got feelings for you If I could show you what I mean, I'll stop showing you clues You could find me at the altar, tell the preacher, "I Do!" We go hand and hand together, like scissors and glue If it were you against the world, I'll be right by your side If it were me against the world, I'll be here till I die Cause I'm only here for you, like a dog with the blind You open my eyes and make me realize what I is mine Like - Don't ever leave me, I need ya baby Cause - You are my world; my first lady And - My one and only; my other half Cause you the only one who gets me like Telepathy I never set back or reduce the speed I repeatedly work at what fits ya needs I know I say you mine, but I'll let be Cause baby girl you way hotter than Myrtle Beach And I could never let you go.... [Hook](4x) And I could never let you go [Verse 2] Is this a dream? - Pinch me if it's real If I wake up, put me back to sleep for the sequel It's peaceful - tryna have a girl like Juliet Some say she smoking; I compare her to a cigarette There ain't to many like the alphabet So you gotta search wise, I ain't talking about the internet We intersect, but she had me at hello But I could never let her go, like they let go - Pluto Now every weekend, we kick it - Judo They staring when we out, I just take it like it's Kudos But who knows, they could be jealous - they want us Uno And sick of each other - spitten slurs like mono Having you coming at my head, but I could never let you go They know we both got short temps, like the pain of pinky toes But know the motto - you only live once I'm just tryna be yo man - let's just really have fun [Hook](6x) And I could never let you go [Outro] Dang, I could never let you go. Even with everything that we've been through and everything that has happened. You'll always have a place in my heart.

[Intro] You said you wanted expression, I'ma give you a preformance Light a candle for the afternoon; The room filled with Aroma Let me lift you off your feet, so we can dance on the clouds They call you twinkle toes, cause the stars screamin aloud Let me grab so you know I'll never let you go Kiss your lips for a second, and stare while we touch our nose And turn heads when we're done, and walk off into dusk Hope the love never fades or rust, cause this is lust Love... [Verse 1] You my girl, I'm yo man - Believe That You my eyes, I'm yo arms - a fair match My body and spirit, Your vision and faith You're the reason I woke up, that's why I favor this day They say we're just kids - it's nonstop of puppy love I believe it's more, like I should open my core Show my heart to my lady, like I've open chest doors Let her hop inside smooth - valet parking from a lore (lore) Is this dream? I guess not Are we in love? Ya damn right Do people hate?? I guess so Cause they're the first to turn their backs...presto But we still have each other and not another Another love - Would be for others and other others They say the truth hurts, that's because they hate seeing us together Together better Better as one One... [Spoken Outro] I don't understand how people could have so much hate. Like people have to gossip to keep us apart. But all this negativity makes me want you more because I know it's not true. They said you wanted visual English, so here's my linguistics.

It's not a game of kingdom hearts, or whoever plays the cards straight It's whoever finds the key to the golden gate People in your bubble but they treat you like you out of place Real recognize real, your goons always out-of-state I aint never hide. Id be damned if I ever fade God made an organism, but my life is self-made I've been on my own, and I'm feeling like an undergrad Been sticking to the script, now they calling me a thumbtack Aint never waisted time or will I ever waste my life Cause it feels like 40 knives being stabbed for 40 nights All my goons animals, they call Noah's Arc Cause we're tryna make it big and we'll never be apart But we'll split you like the Red-Sea. You hear them playin' harps? Leave you leakin' on the streets, while they cover you with tarps Send a letter to your mother, watch the love grow apart Hear your father come up missing, now you don't know where to start See this Karma is a bitch, I divorced it from my heart We're just all Made Men, now they saying play your part But..this ain't what I'm use to, not always what it use to be I Always keep my head up, now calling it Apostrophe

[Hook] When I needed love, you were there When I needed help, you were there When I needed money, you were there When I needed you, You were there ... [Verse 1] I ain't calling it a wedding but you were like my best man A pilot with his wingman, flying 'til the plane land No matter right or left, you always gave me a helping hand Cock block my problems, but the advice I always understand When I was in depression - Lost in a mental state You said, "Keep Your Head Up," and guided me through a golden gate As my momma say, "Eat plenty; Keep an empty plate." The problems kept cooking up; The belly wasn't feeling safe Now my city wasn't feeling great I couldn't walk alone at night cause these bums always gotta hate And My crew was like a Philly Steak They always kept the heat inside but steamed up when I was in the way A true friend wouldn't discentagrate And ride with me through the traffic in a Benz on the intersate We interchange and then we imitate You were there when I was stuck, and someone had to demonstrate So I Appreciate ... [Hook](1x) [Verse 2] I heard friends are there forever but still walk away I heard boys ride together, and still here today The thing about my family, is they all illustrate We're a picture with 1000 words, and y'all can't communicate Nor even televise, I tell the wise corporate But I don't even conversate with others from my common state Or Promise Land where I belong; feet deep in Bahamas Sand Relaxing gettin' sunny tans, all over God's body plan In this world, it's all or nothing or something You have nothing from the start or got something in abundance When I sight something, I'ma go and get it 'til I cite something I'm night huntin' alone, and my night humbly Try to tag along, they try to tag my thrown And when I'm trailing them, they trailing home But I ain't never seen them, my scene's slim I only see my ride or die, and I will until the scene end

[Ace] Champion state of mind Workin on the daily grind Puttin in overtime from darkness to sunshine We out here hustlin whether you on tha nine to five Or sittin atcha crib with a pen jottin down some rhymes Aint no debatin it, we are all some champions Grindin so hard no time for sleep, no ambient Racin towards a finish line, reach our final destination We aint cheatin death but tryin to inspire generations To get up and throw some elbow grease into a hefty task It’ll make you unhappy at first sorta like a levied tax But in tha end you will reap rewards if you put in work Before you reach ya goals, gotta toil in tha dirt first Thinkin that it could be worse, well u got a point there Gotta keep attackin it, we just gotta persevere Our kind is rare, hard work is on tha decline Desperate need of champions to do like batman did, rise [Chorus](2x) Another Champ. Another Win All this hardwork, lets all be champions Get Up Put your head up We can do this, lets all be champions [Daze] What it takes man to be a man, is what it takes to be a champ Youll be reaching for the lights, but I aint talkin' bout a lamp Fit the pieces to your puzzle and I hope to be a misfit Cause I'll be rising higher than the yeast thats in Bisquick Blood, Sweat, and Tears from the face of many peers With all this hardwork, we could have so many cheers Just steer clear of your path, and never take a back road Cause decisions come with prices and I'll never pay tolls My hardwork's ambition, your recess is "play play" Your only giving one shot, I'll have'em callin May-Day I'll kick ass like Pele on a Sunday eating PayDays While you on a different level, and i'm lookin from a Stairway In my staircase, i'm lookin at a trophy of a champion You looking at a wall thinkin', "Can I go back again." I was built to be champ, its been embedded since day one My soul into this work, and pray I never get outdone [Chorus](2x) Another Champ. Another Win All this hardwork, lets all be champions Get Up Put your head up We can do this, lets all be champions

[Verse 1] Comin in on a late flight, drive you to your hotel Suprise you with the Rose smell - Pulling on your coat-tail You Bad - I see your ring finger rockin' Chanell Let me be your man, so I can light up the candle [Verse 2] See I met you on bus, you blushed It was love at first sight, when we crushed; now we argue and fuss I use to be your best men - You idol my views You said you wana see another, I can play that game two (Too) But you the type of girl to take a walk at the half I'm like a doggy to it's owner, I'll just follow your path Cause I'm lost in your sun-set You looking good like the moon light Remind of Michelle in a Sun-Dress And now you want to leave me? Girl believe me The times that we had makes others so sad Like when we flirt on the beach, and cuddle when it's cold Dang - I know those times are getting old Looking through the photos and the flix We were like a perfect pick Carmelo with the Knicks And now my eyes bawl. You see the tear drops I'm picking up the pieces - I got crossed on the floor It's like I have broken ankles, I'll walk on my knees I tried to ask for you to stay. Girl, I even said please Cause I could see you in the aisle with a snow white dress I got my fam over there taking pics for the press And a couple years later, show the kids how we did Babe we could have it all if you talk for a min So let me talk from the heart, it's the only way to get to you We correspond with eachother like some tapping shoes You could make a beat, I'll stay right on rhythm They say opposites attract, so we became antonyms Our problems are synonyms, we yelling at the samething We never listen, so we really don't know who to blame
