Verse 1

lemme tell you how I start this/
keep my mind as open as my heart is/
sunshine squeeze out the darkness/
walking like I got, clouds for carpets/

steppin up, til I get to number 9/
you can join in, it can be a conga line/
money paralyzes, when it's on the mind/
I'm all in, gonna put it on the line/

no risk, no reward, can't afford regret/
what good are wings if you're afraid to soar/
turn dreams to fruition, with guts and intuition/
your soul's tryna tell you something, just listen/

Chorus

You could seize it
or let it pass by
you could breath it in
or break down and cry/
it's your choice,
use your voice,
make some noise
let the world know you're here

Verse 2

won't let it pass by/
do it right now, maybe later ask why/
maybe won't matter cuz I'm all caught up/
running with the wind caution tossed up/

wherever it land, I might be gone/
I might be wrong but life ain't long/
cynics see the limits wonder why I'm gone/
can't see what's giving me the high I'm on/

or how I'm strong, enough to take those chances/
love at first sight no second glances/
mix a little hustle and a little ambition/
and whatever your soul tells ya, just listen/

LIVIN' IN THE LIMELIGHT

PRE-CHORUS
Livin in the Limelight
Living in a dream come true
I'm a star shining so bright
Never knew I'd make it through

Livin in the limelight
Livin in the lime light yeah yeah yeah
Livin in the limelight
Livin in the lime light yeah yeah yeah

Now I realize the lights I can see
No dark times anymore
Now I realize love is all around me
No struggles like before

I always said a bit of limelight compliments my eyes
Right?
I said it compliments my modest, honest
Always on deck for the quest like Shaheed Mohammed
Business like religion...wise always seek a prophet/profit
Why's all the need for gossip?
Stop it!
I don't gotta show off
Just gotta show up, believe them gawkin
Hear them listenin, see them talking
Zachary De Lima on it, from Trini to Toronto
Everything is wonderful
Limelight, most people wish they had it
But we don't cast shade, we just stay tannin

Stepping up and stepping out
In a mega stylin that's no doubt
See me always at my best
On top of my game feeling so blessed
Feeling so blessed

CHORUS

The future is bright from what they tell us
I can't wait to see it
But as this life is passing by us
We're stuck in our daydream

Ooh
Don't throw it away
Throw away today

Well there's nowhere that we can run to
If we don't know where we are
We've been fooled by the horizon
But no more, no more

(Where are you trying to go?)
I've always been standing right here
(What have you been waiting for?)
Been sparring in the ring with my fear
(Why don't you just let go?)
Well that sounds alright by me
I won't throw it away

CHORUS:
We don't back down, finger on the trigger
We don't back down, pushing back the pressure
We don't back down, ready for whatever you got
We rising up taking that top spot

Eyes on the prize, competition got the butterflies
rising up to Goliaths of any size
get bruised by the 100 yard stare, the eyes of a killer
the chill is in the air, and you're provoking gorillas

Grind time, no words, not even stones and sticks
hustle with muscle that could break bones and bricks
fire in my heart, putting competition on the ground
from the bottom now we coming for the crown

CHORUS

No hesitation, no debating or negotiation
no caving in, the bottom of our hearts that we're scraping
hunting for the next kill, forget how you feel
we ain't nipping at your heels, we hungry for the next meal

Fighting tooth and nail, no definition for quit
hitting hard, like a demolition team to your bricks
coming up from the dirt, pressing knuckles in the ground
from the bottom now we coming for the crown

Smile It All Away

YOU SMILE FOR THE CAMERA
YOU SMILE WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING YOU WANT
YOU SMILE WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
WHEN YOU PUNCH OUT THE CLOCK
BUT IT SEEMS YOU'RE RARELY SMILING JUST BECAUSE
AND ALL THE SIMPLE THINGS GET BURIED DOWN IN THE MUCK

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OFF THIS TRAIN.......

CHORUS
WHEN EVERY LITTLE THING HAS GOT YOUR GOAT
WHEN NOTHING EVER SEEMS TO FLOAT YOUR BOAT
THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT KEEP YOU AFLOAT
IS TO SMILE IT ALL AWAY

YOU RACE WITH THE MINIONS
YOU RACE TO THE END OF THE DAY
YOU PRAY FORTHE WEEKEND
YOU PRAY FOR A CHANGE TO THE PACE
AND YOU REMEMBER A TIME WHEN THE CHIPS WOULD FALL YOUR WAY
BUT YOU'RE DETERMINED TO KEEP WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR SANITY

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OFF THIS TRAIN........

CHORUS

BRIDGE
AND IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE
BUT SOMETHING'S GOTTA CHANGE

YOU'RE SMILING ONE DAY AND NOTICE THE CAMERA IS OFF
YOU'RE WATCHING THE RACE UNFOLD FROM YOUR LUXURY BOX
AND THE TRAIN SLOWS DOWN

CHORUS

Honey, where did you come from
You're like a waterfall of lovely
Blue water washing over my heart

Mercy, I just can't help but stare
You got me in your hands
Holding me hostage with the beauty you wear

Ooh you got my heart beating faster
Ooh you got my head feeling lighter
Stumbling round like a fool
Under your spell

Take me with your where you're going
I just wanna lose myself in your world
For the rest of my mornings

You don't have to say
What is on your mind
'Cos I already know
Yeah, I already know
You're like an open book to me
You're like an open book to me

I know you better than anybody else
I know you better than you know yourself
And I know that you want me, honey
Oh yeah

You don't have to try
To be someone you're not
'Cos I'm already sold
On the one I've got
I need nothing more than you
I need nothing more than you, oh no

You know me better than anybody else
You know me better than I know myself
And you know that I want you, honey

We ain't got nothing to hide from each other
There's nothing but our hearts on our sleeves
It's always so easy
It's always so easy
With you and me

I know you better than anybody else
I know you better than you know yourself
And I know that you want me, honey
You know me better than anybody else
You know me better than I know myself
And you know that I want you, honey

We ain't got nothing to hide from each other
There's nothing but our hearts on our sleeves
It's always so easy
It's always so easy
With you and me, oh yeah
With you and me, oh yeah
With you and me, oh yeah
With you and me, oh yeah

Oh there's something
I wanna tell you right away
Before the moment up and runs away
Something you gotta know

You're the best thing
I can think of around me
You make livin' a piece of cake
You settle down my world

Oh this life is a breeze with you
Sucha breeze with you
Oh it's really easy

Oh there must be
Some kind of angel watching over me
Cuz now my life is just like counting to three
I might need somebody to pinch me

Oh it's lovely
Yes it's so lovely
To have you right here with me
You keep my head on straight

You, you start the race
That makes my day
A race I love to run

Time dances along
To our sweet, sweet song
That forever plays on

And you always, always bring the sun
Always, always make my life more fun
It's better
You're like perfect weather
And you always, always bring the sun
Always, always make my life more fun
It's better
It's always better

I can't help but smile
At your playground style
So bright and unfettered

And it's never ever
Quite the same old weather
When it's me, when it's you

CLEAR YOUR CALENDAR, HALT YOUR WARS
AND SAY LA DI DA
SAY LA DI DA
LEAVE THE WORRY TO WORRY WARTS
AND SAY LA DI DA
SAY LA DI DA DA DA

CHORUS:
OPEN UP AND SAY LA DI DA
SAY LA DI DA DA DA
OPEN UP AND SAY LA DI DA
SAY LA DI DA DA DA

THROW THIS BRAND NEW DAY A CURVE
AND SAY LA DI DA
SAY LA DI DA
LEAVE THIS MORNING TO EARLY BIRDS
AND SAY LA DI DA
SAY LA DI DA DA DA

CHORUS

LET'S JUST LEAVE THIS CHANCE TO CHANCE
AND SAY LA DI DA
SAY LA DI DA
FILL TODAY UP WITH HAPPENSTANCE
AND SAY LA DI DA
SAY LA DI DA DA DA

CHORUS

GOOD TIMES

CHORUS
These are the good times
Forever in the hood times
We gonna make it we can make it
These are the ggod times
Love is the best crime
We gonna make it

Verse 1
5 bucks get a forty and a dutch
not thinking about much see my shorty get a touch
sweet as can be and a big you know what
keep my head up I never stop swingin
never stop hopin always keep copin
keep my body movin and my mind in motion
slick in production big truck system
mama always said son stick with the wisdom
I came to get them stick them fit them
I aint a victim and you never see me slippin
Never see me dippin even in middle of friction
Got them all wishin they was in my position
Smooth with the diction pay to listen
I get paid every single day
Gotta be good in the hood baby
Keep it comin baby one more time
We gotta hit them now with one more rhyme

CHORUS

VERSE 2
I gotta say make me feel that way
Like sippin champagne on the fifth of may
Like a pocket full of benjamins I maintain
Make it fall like rain act mad insane
Runnin through the streets yellin my own name
Love the way you move love the way you do
Anything can happen when you walk like that
King im relaxed to the infinite
Rock mic's that's my instrument
With two turntables make this thing get bent
Wicked with the flow act you don't know
Rockin it real fats then I make it slow
Flip the hood we can all get down
All come together white black or brown
In the hood whats good it's the natural sound
Check me out when ya on the block

CHORUS

UNLIMITED

CHORUS
I feel unlimited
no rules unlimited
and I shine so bright that I might just light it up
I feel unlimited
no rules on limited
gonna grab this world make it mine so fire it up

VERSE 1
Fire up the engines it's about to start
bring the light when I travel to dispel the dark
our existence is hinging on if we can impart
ambition as if resistance got us what we want
we living under limits that are self imposed
then poked at by the media till it's exposed
try to stuff your emotions till you implode
well I'm here to disclose
the power you have enclosed

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Fire up the burners it's about to begin
let the fuel move your internal pistons
until the engines running with intention
you've been down this road before
check the suspension
I know it gets rocky but you're unstoppable like Rocky
you probably been through worse
like taking shots to the body
you obviously kept getting up
legs wobbly and vision foggy
but you kept coming like a zombie
straight out the ground you're taking it now
pressed against the cage ain't nobody taking you down
and through all the trials and tribulations you basically found
that it's all lies and manipulations mistakenly bound
knots tied the stipulations are created were not allowed to abound
when they try to tune us down
I can faintly hear the sound
and that's the only thing I need to keep me wanting more
just remember I'm Limitless at my core

CHORUS

Chorus:
If you really want it
show 'em where your heart is
see if you can push it past the limit
show 'em what you're made of
if you think your game tough
let me see you push it past the limit
Push it past the limit

I push it further than the rest so they call me the champ
I'm kicking past my last breath so that makes me a vamp-
Pyre I'm on fire
With sweat and blood for survival
I'm wired not getting tired and flying straight for the final
wavy like tidal outlasting all of your idols
don't test me I might go psycho
eliminate all my rivals
swear on The Bible I'm ready to take the title the king to take his rightful place await my arrival
here's what separates the men from the boys
I'm pushing it past the limits
you're still sitting making noise

CHORUS

I never let the dust settle 'fore I start again
I'm so relentless I won't settle 'less it's for the win
fight with honor prove I'm worthy like the olden times
nevermind, show no mercy like I'm Cobra Kai enemies stand in my way best be ready to die I'm on a higher plane of vision like my 3rd eye that means I read between the lines
and I'm gone before you realize whoa
now you're frozen like you're paralyzed
tell the rest that I've arrived

CHORUS

Yea the Sun is rising
it's right over the horizon
it's all about the timing
and the drive to not stop climbing climbing
I'm never going to stop
until I reach the top
all you lesser men are probably all gonna drop cause my skill is unmatched
I ain't even scratch the surface
stand back watch me step into my purpose

CHORUS

Reach down in your soul if you want it
want everybody to flaunt it
cause now we gettin up on it
from dusk to the dawn of morning
the past isn't important
just give yourself to the moment
let it envelop your body like the finest clothes imported
from exotic places
faces faded like in dreams
let me pinch you on your jeans
and convince you to believe
take my hand fly with me to neverland
we don't need to look behind us
let the music just remind us

CHORUS
That we always got a way out
tell the DJ let it play out
aint no need for no excuses
just make every move about the music

Yea every day we going out
I'm a tell you what it's all about
yeah that's just the way it's going down
I'm a tell you what it's all about

Once the rhythm gets inside of you
there ain't nothing more that I can do
it may turn you to an animal
let me bite what's right behind you like a cannibal
nah I just want a gaze at your face like some artwork
admiring your white bra
spying through your dark shirt
turn it up a little louder
make it rain in this place like we taking money showers
like the beat gives you super strength
dance until you can't
someone pour another drink
someone rolling up the dank
we gon take it to the moon
we don't need to look behind us
let the music just remind us

The future's ours
It's plain to see
Times on our side
We're young and free
The time is right
This time is ours
We're taking aim
Shootin' for the stars

We'll raise our voices
We will be heard
We will be counted
Now it's our turn
A fire inside us burns
Stand back!

Nobody gonna stop us now
This is what we do and how
Gonna spin this world around
This is how we scream and shout... yeah!
We all know what it's all about
Nobody's gonna hold us down
Nobody's gonna stop us now
This is how we scream and shout...hey!

Life waits for us
With open arms
To fill the dreams
Inside our hearts
It's time for change
It's time to dance
Live and have fun
Now that's a plan

We will be counted
We will be heard
We'll raise our voices
Now it's our turn
A fire inside us burns
Stand back!

CHORUS:
We are
Never giving up never backing down
We born to fight
We born to fight
And that's real
No matter what you say it'll never break us down
Cause we born to fight
Born fight (2x)

When it rains it pours
Everything has it own reasons
Everyday thank the lord
Just off the thought of me breathing

It brings pain to my sores
Just at the thought of you leaving
These wounds are open like doors
But we gon keep on retreating

We gon keep on fighting
Your life was light to the fire
So anxious to see you
So everyday we look higher

Gave birth in the rings so we was born to be fighters
Born to be titled the greatest
We give a f*** if you like it

Remember the times we cried
Remember the times we laughed
Remember the times forever

Wish I could have it all back
Give the world just to get a chance to see you again
Now you in a better place flying free as the wind
When its all over we gon be it again
Like I'm yours and your mine
And pains heals in due time
Fill that void cause you shine in the sky bright as ever
Celebrating your life
Missing you forever

CHORUS

If you ever lost somebody
Lemme hear you say
Oh oh oh
If you made it through the fire and you a fighter
Say oh oh oh
When you feel like you can't make it and you gotta be strong
Say oh oh oh

Cause you a fighter
Gon' and raise your lighters
This ones for the fighters
(2x)

Stumbling, searching for love in the night
Getting in deep, dark and lost, friendship so hard to find
Needing illumination for my line of sight
I happen on this glowing place and plug in to its light

Here's where I shine, here's where I shine
Hope flashing big and bright, thoughts energized
Heart beam lit far and wide, beautiful way up high
Everyone knows it's mine, here's where I shine

Radiant happy daydreams come to life
I'm magically inhabiting visions from my mind
They get a transformation to reality
Like I'm vividly projected on a living movie screen
I'm a star to be seen

Here's where I shine, here's where I shine
Hope flashing big and bright, thoughts energized
Heart beam lit far and wide, beautiful way up high
Everyone knows it's mine, here's where I shine

The people here electrify, they make me shine
Like a spotlight, like a neon sign
Like the sun and the fireflies, I shine, I shine
This is my place, this is my time

Here's where I shine, here's where I shine
Hope flashing big and bright, thoughts energized
Heart beam lit far and wide, beautiful way up high
Dazzling, it's mine, here's where I shine

Here's where I shine, here's where I shine
Hope flashing big and bright, thoughts energized
Heart beam lit far and wide, beautiful way up high
Dazzling, it's mine, here's where I shine

A truth hit me upside the head
It wound me up and let me fly
That I couldn't be nothin'
I wouldn't be nothin' without this sweet providing woman

I couldn't be the wind in your sails
I couldn't be the apple of your eye
I just couldn't be nothin'
I wouldn't be nothin' without this sweet providing woman

I wouldn't have a ghost of a chance
I wouldn't have this fight in my soul
I wouldn't be nothin'
I couldn't be nothin' without this sweet providing woman

This sweet providing woman
This sweet providing woman

TWENTY-TWENTY

SOMEDAYS, THERE'S NO RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED
MY HEAD ACHES JUST THINKING OF THE RIDE UP AHEAD
MY PATIENCE WEARY ON A ROPE THAT'S FRAYING
RED LIGHTS WAITING AT EVERY TURN

CHORUS:
EVERY SKY TO COME'S NOT RAINING
EVERY SEA TO SAIL'S NOT RAGING
I'M COUNTING ON MY TWENTY-TWENTY
EVERY DOOR AHEAD'S NOT SLAMMING
NOT EVERY JUMP ENDS UP CRASH LANDING
I'M COUNTING ON MY TWENTY-TWENTY

I'M SEASICK, BUT I'M NOT READY FOR DRY LAND
I'M VEERING, BUT I'M NOT READY TO TURN BACK
IT'S UNRELENTING, THIS DAY I'M CHASING
THE BREAKS AREN'T BREAKING BUT I'M NOT DETERRED

BRIDGE:
SO I'LL CLOSE MY EYES AND BREATHE
AND ONE DAY WE'LL LAUGH AT ME

WORN OUT OUR WELCOME

VERSE 1
So I never did wear my heart
So I never was everything that you dreamt of
And I never did play the part
But you never did anything but keep your guard up

CHORUS
This love is sinking like the late day sun
And there are two sides here to lay the blame on
The minute hand is coming to a dead stop
Seems we've worn out our welcome

VERSE 2
In the beginning it was like them all
All innocence and late-night talks 'til the sun rose
But you never could change this guy
And I never could read your mind though you thought so

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Oh there's a point in time where you cut and run run
And you don't keep spinning wheels that are long gone
And you let it go and move on to the next one

CHORUS

SPARKS FLY

VERSE 1
Sparks are flying
Kind of making me feel high and
Intertwining got us finding
Like a knot of love were tying

All in the timing
It's so bright the way you're shining
When I look you in the eyes
It's so blinding yet inviting, come on

VERSE 2
Nothing wrong with some good old-fashioned love
Staying up all night just because
Little black dress and some conversation
Bottle of wine, and some music playing
Right here with you is all I want

PRE-CHORUS
It's like we just met
Getting nervous turning all red
Wondering if it's just in my head
Or if you feel it, feel it too

CHORUS 1
Sparks fly underneath the moonlight
It might be the best night of my life
When the sparks fly
Next to you

CHORUS 2
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
When the sparks fly

VERSE 3
In a taxi making my way home
So much about you I wanna know

PRE-CHORUS

VERSE 4
You know I feel it too
It's real the way I'm feeling you
The two of us are so the truth
Around you I'm just letting loose

It's so natural
No we didn't rush
we did it gradual
And now it feels like what we've done is masterful

VERSE 5
You should teach a class
Everything you do with class
And if we keep this path
There's only one question for me to ask

So do you feel it too?
I think you really do
If we can see it through
The finish line is me and you

VERSE 6
So let the sparks fly
What we got's enough to light the dark sky
When you touch my hand it makes my heart fly

Time running through my mind
Like a highlight
Hands down this might be the best night of my life

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 3
Oh oh oh (Oh)
Oh oh oh (yeah)
Oh oh oh (that's right, when the sparks fly)

CHORUS 3
Sparks fly underneath the moonlight
It might be the best night of my life
When the sparks fly

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

VERSE 1
Fee fie foe fum, stomping through the slums
Here I come, here I come, grabbing up your crumbs
Diggin' in your pockets, bread in your baskets
I gotta have it, getting mines is a habit

Running up in your space, spitting in your face like mace
I got the flavour, they want a taste
I don't give a what what what
Try to step up and get buck buck buck

Press your luck, run up try to take what I got
I got burners that stay hot
I guarantee, I got what you need
Ain't nothing free, I got mouths to feed

That's me, myself and I, the trinity
Raw and uncut, that's how I really be
Straight up and down, what you see is what you get
You can bet that's a promise and a threat

CHORUS
We stompin' through, coming for you
And you, and you, and you, and you
(4X)

BRIDGE
(Indeterminable Lyrics)

VERSE 2
Chop up and roll up the cabbage, puff it and
Pass it, under pressure, blow a gasket
Steaming, while I'm schemin' the next plot
Locking down the whole block make it burning hot

Rush the spot, the whole squad hungry
We going out for the stash, run the jewels and money
Ain't nothing funny, my fingerprint's grungy
And crazy, might even bungee jump with a bungee

And still bounce back, give you a smack
Reload and clack, clack, clack, lay you flat
Straight up and down, what you see is what you get
You can bet that's a promise and a threat

CHORUS

BRIGHT LIGHTS BIG CITY

INTRO
From the rooftops
To the city blocks
We livin proof
That we can't & we won't stop
Let's keep it movin
Show & prove that we already dropped
I'd like to take this opportunity
To thank the whole community
For keepin us together in the same spot
Yo in the dark night
We see the bright lights
& we can rock right
(We keep the game tight)
We represent the element that gave us true sight

CHORUS
Bright lights, big city
It's gonna lift you higher and higher
When the world has got you down
City's gonna lift you higher and higher

VERSE 1
Lights flash blast past do the math
We building up beginning squad
Illuminate the path
Hit the street feel the concrete
Underneath your feet
And we runnin like there's only seconds left
Feel the breath
Let's connect reach out mad respect
I can't believe how far we raised
From Dirty blocks & dark hallways
Opposite of tenements
We livin in the top percent
Of hustlin their dreams
Livin way above our means
Now we formulate the team
Hit em like a lazer beam
Infinite abilities
Flowin like Pheidippides
Outside of parentheses
Genius in facilities
Our options are infinity
Founded independently
The path is undertaken
By the underestimated
Can you feel it yeah we made it
To the top we elevated
We don't stop & we created
In a new stream a new team
Shine like the ever present presence
Of the spotlight
(The light beams)

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Smash perception ain't no question
You're the best of them
I hope that the rest of them
Gettin all this oxygen (its medicine)
A catalyst of power people
Comin from the underground
Many styles all the citizens
From all around the planet ascending in a way that you can never take for granted
(It's a piece of pace a past of place)
I pass the praise the pastor makes
The timing of the time it takes
To raise up all the youth
That's the proof of the positivity & true humility
Passed on these progressions
In the cyphers & the sessions
True knowledge comes from everyone
& everything surrounding
We pounding up the bricks
& in our footsteps is evidence of providence
The sky scrapes takes a little building at a time
Now you over-stand the rhyme
We can all together climb
You get yours & I get mine
Never been a better time
To come together (each of us can teach one)
Never been a better time
I think I see the sign

CHORUS

OUTRO
Keep your head raised
As your mind stays
High above the fray
When you need to get up & stay up
Just nod your head & meditate
On this verbal word play
It's like every single day
We don't stop
We rock hip hop
On every single block
Let's get together now & raise it to the top
