I traded my degree for a dream Some people think I'm crazy What the world thinks doesn't seem to matter much lately Chasing down the vision like I made it Race ideas across the pavement I just hope that I can pace it So we wait and arrange patiently This music trying to embrace Trace a new path instead of finding Other artists to replace Cus how can you change the game If you're not grinding? Find a new lane People wasting time making the same damn lame thing I wake the sun up early mornings late nights I was raised making music now I blaze sh** daily This is the realest of the real Must be dead if you can't feel this Got a soul stomping on my chest so after death When I lay to rest on the record All these words they can still live My dreams been a blank check About to fill it in No ego screaming RIP to the beats While we rippin intelligent poetry The rest of the world sleeps Flowing prose forget the cons Better let em go free I never had a feeling so deep in my soul believed Better let em go free Better hope my feet can carry me Jumping to the other side Two shots of that enterprise Realizing synthesizing its alright its alright its alright New rays put a move on Top back with the roof gone Smooth tracks in the cell phone Fresh prince of the ring tone Its that silky silver screen life Like I'm driving trying to find a new scene right Director's cut first edition We live it platinum mint condition Blue chrome on the freeway Gold enzo prepaid So roll out that red and wear that watch like ivory Jumping to the other side Two shots of that enterprise Realizing synthesizing its alright its alright its alright Jumping to the other side (I can't stand I keep falling) Two shots of that enterprise (Will I land back on solid) Realizing synthesizing (I can't stand I keep falling) (Will I land back on solid ground) If people tell me that my music's just a fantasy Its clear that they don't know a single thing about me From day one we've been the dreams undoubtedly And now the sound flows loud and free I'm reaching the four corners of the earth Blew by my last chance to return see Rewind is not an option Atlas held the world but I won't be the one to drop it Because I can't stand Try to feel something The king of this land Ain't telling me nothing, nothing at all Nothing at all Jumping to the other side Lead me to that paradise Realize synthesize We are we are one with the music We are we are one don't lose it now Don't lose it now And I feel like I'm falling down I look up and see stars (Tread the waters of the night) Cosmic fires breathing light (Bend the colors, untie the white) Blue mountainside Dream titans arising and bringing the songs to life We are we are one with the music We are so far along can't lose it now Can't lose it now, now Let the crowd dream with me I was made in the lab truth first Talkin I was bred for the concerts mosh pit monster Another beat's nightmare sponsor Took the fight from the dark night Boxed him up and locked it See five rings on a mountainside Doubled up adrenaline running to the saturated sky Aphrodite finds me, she reminds me Music's been the love of a lifetime Phonetic fine wine glass tears cried down from the heavens As poetic rhymes shine on the skyline Apollo's all smiles he was watching As the ride touched down on the 11th flight But the ghost of Helios sighs Cus he knows the we own the light I'm saying The ghost of Helios dies Cus Olympus is ours tonight I'm talking siege of the dream killers Screamin at Athena Pour these feelings on the track unfiltered Welcome to the new scheme surge Carry spears of ideas and so many came before But we still first Chariots from the fire shaped by the desire Making titans come alive with a skilled verse This arena is a stage, these words carry weight Elevate tell fate that it can move or burn Cus tonight we rise

Look Snapback faded wishing her the best Cus she left now I'm jaded, jaded My heart was the beat yeah she played it, she played it She made it go ba da da da da She made it go ba da da da da Look Snapback faded wishing her the best Encore like Jay did, its amazing, its amazing, so amazing East west coast changes made her famous She made it go She made it go ba da da da da But I don't mean to be resentful Talking everything I never did Wait is that an iced tea? Come give me a sip I'm trying to cool it down Ice cube movie shouts On a Friday scrambling like Fran Tarkenton All I really wanna do is win Threw away a stack of records that I knew were hits The best influences Grammy illusionists Give me 42 stealing home like I knew the pitch Cus I'm crazy baby we can come and take it Got a fresh used suburu a hundred thousand miles that'll move you Look me up on youtube you can always tell me if its too soon Cus I'm trying to take you back Let the music soothe This is everything What I got to lose Five dollar wine dollar store apple pies City in the night now how could you refuse? Vacated vacations on radio stations Spinning in my mind Broken record time Vacated vacations on radio stations Spinning in my mind Broken record time I'm fine Vacated vacations on radio stations (Trying to make a call, speeding going home) Spinning in my mind Broken record time I'm fine (Thought it's what she wants but I never know) Vacated vacations on radio stations (Trying to write a song, spin the record slow) Spinning in my mind Broken record time I'm fine (Cus she took my hopes six feet below) (But you never know cus you never know) I think the baselines underrated Not about FaceTime steady dedicated If it weren't for jobs apple wouldn't make it Cus these iPods are paychecks and damn man he's innovative His inner statement Is indunated Minor keys now I'm in the majors Alicia please would you be my baby Looking for the beat have you seen it lately? Snapback faded wishing her the best Cus she left now I'm jaded, jaded My heart was the beat yeah she played it, she played it She made it go ba da da da da She made it go ba da da da da Vacated vacations on radio stations Spinning in my mind Broken record time Vacated vacations on radio stations Spinning in my mind Broken record time I'm fine Vacated vacations on radio stations (Trying to make a call, speeding going home) Spinning in my mind Broken record time I'm fine (Thought it's what she wants but I never know) Vacated vacations on radio stations (Trying to write a song, spin the record slow) Spinning in my mind Broken record time I'm fine (Cus she took my hopes six feet below) (But you never know cus you never know)

Empty school bus Yellow faded through Pushin mp3s wearing Newly laced loose shoes Flying straight across the neighborhood Right into the living room Maybe he could beat the sun Be the knight coming soon Screens are what he's dreaming of Movie stunts seen a few Imagined all these people sayin "Son, this town needs you" (Deep voice) Yeah, be a superman sequel Nah, create his own hero, peaceful Steady shooting words strong verbs Smooth as he surfs on the sentences Strolls into the evil The world's quiet but his mind's alive The light's silent but the darkness thrives Crime rises in the world he made Here to save the day he's Ichabod Shade These faded empty street lights Callin me wonder if I'll listen Letters on the concrete envisioned Subtract the safe paint, write over the wrongs By addition maybe I can pay the difference Cus these waves make shades of grey Sound is color, and this color its my job to spray Drums, keys, guitars, dark nights, stars All the heroes sound the same So maybe the villain's what I was made to play The normal words getting failing grades So a mural is what I make so I can change Music's wayward way Use a shadow as my frame As I create a smooth sharp refrain I hope they hear me, I'll make em hear me Let my words speak what I would say So I can tell em that somebody's Reaching high into outer space Not content to stay contained Molds were made to break So let the sun set on cosigns And shine on the day Signed, Shade Lil Shade drew shapes on a wall 10 feet tall And they spelled out his song but he wasn't done Cus he waited all day for the moonlight to come So he's gonna stay till the day breaks in the morning Till the day wakes in the morning, morning Lately he's found a friend in his words Chasing paper planes through the classroom Scribbles on the walls of the bathroom stalls Cus he just can't wait to be heard And look at what he's done now Made a message on the blacktop And he can't stop it And he won't stop it Cus his haunted soul only knows gold A beautiful, a beautiful vinyl overdose

Counting all the lines on the pages basically I'm just trying to find the space to see Cus each and every word has a chance to shape it To make it a world, build a masterpiece, build a masterpiece Sitting on the back porch listening And I can hear a million different pictures No telling what the difference is A sister or a brother Cus the beautiful is yet to be discovered Cus I'm talking bout a faith in the face of hate Rays that illuminate a life's work made by the finest Maybe you've heard of him But if I've seen further it's by standing on the shoulders of giants If these tides could talk Would they tell us that our world is one fire? Or if these tides could talk Would they say that we're still frozen? Just another night in a crowded town Walking down the sidewalk Life's best lead colorblind It always happens slow but we're closer A door begins to open Finally we can start to hear the times talk A king dreamed and I have a friend today Years spent in pain and I'm here for thanks Some people see black and white but we see inspired Cus a bullet can't take away the passion from a fire Vacant lots and parking spots then malls and shops Cus we're all for change But quiet thoughts stay locked in boxes and we remain the same Will we remain the same? If these tides could talk Would they tell us that our world is one fire? Or if these tides could talk Would they say that we're still frozen? If these tides could talk Would they tell us that our world is one fire? Or if these tides could talk Would they say that we're still frozen? Frozen eh (MLK speech)

I'm sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement, pavement Memories on fire What could have been lost I wish I knew take me higher I lay awake in these back alleys of thoughts As these nightmares conspire But to them my applause Cus my code they deciphered Righteous rain wash away the stains Am I insane? Contemplate my fate Cus in the middle I'm abandoned Through the turbulence I landed I'm standing today But I'm handcuffed to be taken way away Cus my mind is a prison where I keep what I envision I decided to drive away cus they all keep me awake Keep me awake But now its time for decisions and I keep wanting to finish What I started I'm falling back towards that street corner Rooms overflowing, flowing let em out, let em out Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Cus I'm sitting on this orange curb Been here since the day they left me Idea holding cells full house penitentiary Behind the bars you can hear em as the screams disperse Too many dreams life term Some people building walls in another mind Some people would be kings in another time Some people would be lost in another life Some people trying to fight for just another night I'm trying to make a plane for the ones without a ticket Silent slow escape cus the road we take is different Leave the prison that we made let it fade in Our inner mind is what we're all kids in The beauty of the stone in the subtle shades of grey Cus the colors aren't enough When the feeling's locked away But now the debt has been repaid Inmates no longer wait, cus hey Today is the dreamside jailbreak Talking Dufresne level freedom Red redemption cus we beat em Whats a thought without a vision? Whats a dream without conviction? But now its time for decisions and I keep wanting to finish What I started I'm falling back towards that street corner Rooms overflowing I've always known That I gotta let em out cus I'm sitting on that Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it Sitting on this orange curb dream side Reading into street signs Lighting up the pavement like I own it

Chaise lounging at the bottom of the deep end New suit all wet loose tie blue vest and I'm feeling good I'm feeling good I've been blowing these bubbles I've been finding the pieces to puzzles of sound Da da dum dum dum And the melody of cannonballs Fills the air it resounds The party's underwater Da da dum dum dum I take a glowing mic light the night flow ignites Whole party stops truth drips from lips High dive into the crowd as we drown in the sound of life Staccato heart beats free energies unite Yeah, I got the vision see the path I've formed I said this music's what I'm living for Dream waves resonate from the surface to the floor In this pool I escape I can soar Just sink into this creative state And float as I toast to the freestyle memories Ambience we made smooth strokes moving slow Not a worry paid The dark grows young daybreak can wait Shades spin the colors into perfect rays And frame a shadow-stained deck as a radiant stage Now these speakers splash sonic sweetness In its sea I wade and taste the depths of the bass cus I wake up all I see for now These waving lights this pool surrounds And I know I'm at home Cus this life is a party and we're all drowning in the sound Yeah this life is a party and we're all drowning in the sound We live on this planet of midnight blue And I kept my space haven't slept in days But thats the price you pay When you're trying to make it through Cus this water's like a mirror in my mind I took a reflection been injected connected Through creative inception Three layers deep dreams Flowing from the moment that idea was planted A tiny seed as it climbed all these hours made it rise Turned this picture perfect dream into real live life Takes the breath away doesn't it? Been chasing down a secret on a journey to discover it One round for the people Who were here from the start Cus life is what you make it This art is who we are I'm saying Cus this life is a party and we're all drowning in the sound Yeah this life is a party and we're all drowning in the sound This life is a party and we're all drowning in the sound Yeah this life is a party and we're all drowning in the sound

No shadows on my walls I blew em off Building kingdoms out of thoughts I rule em all Neon clouds light the way for the grey to fade And battleships rock the seas I've made curses verses surface perfect Is it all worth it? Worthless words just wait all day on a page But at night they animate So easy to see violet evergreen trees Fuchsia red birds singing me to sleep To be bigger than a building built upon the sky I try to rise in time to compose this These lines and these words are melodies So breathe deep and lead me to memories Breathe deep and lead me to memories Its gonna be a good night A good night Yellow painted boom box blues Pictures from a cartoon movie I fade away into the shot smile George Clooney Sue me cus we produce and move authentic music So say goodnight and good luck and try to keep up Then you can recognize the movement Been using these thoughts as currency And dreams and certainty and currently Internal circuitry is telling me its urging me Compelling like it happened perfectly But I guess we'll see For now I'm skating on an ocean twelve feet deep The sun eclipse the stars a world of light envelops me I must have fell asleep And when I wake I'll take florescent spray paint And tear the grey haze from the the day and say These lines and these words are melodies So breathe deep and lead me to memories Its gonna be a good night A good night Its gonna be a good night A good night
