- Animals
This is where the pain comes from
This is how the payback sounds
This is why the fire goes up
This is why the walls come down
You ain't never been in these shoes
Never know a word that I'm saying
So the only thing to keep the blood flowing
Is to let you know I'm not playing
- Booty Down
Oh oohh!
Booty
B-b-b b-b b-b-b-b
B-b-b b-b b-b-b-booty
B-b-b b-b b-b-b-b
B-b-b b-b b-b-b--
- Dedicated
I have a dream of a scene between the green hills
Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed
People don't talk about keeping it real
It's understood that they actually will
And intoxicated and stimulated emcees
Staring into dreams, paranoid, are gone in the breeze
Watch them flee, hip-hop heads
Take a walk with me and what you'll see
- Ghosts
She said, "This is not about a poltergeist
Not about a phantom that glows at night"
But there're things we don't know and I
Don't have another choice but an open mind, oh
And I know what they'll say
I'm tryna make sense of what no one can explain
But I've been having dreams that after I'm awake
Play out in reality the very next day
- Happy birthday
Happy Birthday...so make a wish
[Verse 1:]
Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
Would you've been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
I payed for the murder before they determined the sex
- In Between
Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed
But somehow I got caught up in between
Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
- Lockjaw

- No Roads Left
Standing alone with no direction
How did I fall so far behind?
Why Am I searching for perfection?
Knowing it’s something I won’t find
In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because
- Nothing Makes Sense Anymore
I used to know where the bottom was
Somewhere far under the ocean waves
Up on a ledge I was looking down
It was far enough to keep me safe
But the ground was cracked open
Threw me in the ocean
Cast me out away at sea
And the waves are still breaking
- Open Door
Yeah, they tell you that you should quit trying
You are too small, that you are too young
They tell you the chance is too slim
The world is too big, but you say, "how come?"
I'm ready to light a new fire
Raise a new flag, to cross a new sea
And if I'm ever the one in your way
Then put your head down and run right through me
- Place To Start
I don't have a leg to stand on
Spinning like a whirlwind nothing to land on
Came so far never thought it'd be done now
Stuck in a holding pattern waiting to come down
Did somebody else define me
Can I put the past behind me
Do I even have a decision
Feeling like I'm living in a story already written
- Promises I Can't Keep
What's the difference between a man and a monster
Is it somewhere between I can and I want to
Is it somewhere between the promises I made
And the fact I couldn't see something getting in the way
I used to think that I know what I want
Never saw it coming unglued
I used to think that I know what I want
Now it's time to see if it's true
- Prove You Wrong
Welcome to the breakdown
Tired of playing games now
Make it no mistake
I will prove you wrong
I'm sick of being patient
Underestimated
This will be the day
That I prove you wrong
- Right Now
Someone right now is leaving their apartment looking down at the street wondering where their car went Someone in the car sitting at a signal in front of a restaurant staring through the window at someone right now with their finger in their teeth who could use a little floss Right across the street there`s somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket spent half a grand at a bar getting plastered now he`s gotta walk fourteen blocks to work at a shop where he`s about to get fired. Someone right now is looking pretty tired staring at a laptop trying to get inspired Somebody living right across the street she`s wrote the best things shes written all week but her best friends coughing up blood in the sink cant even think what happened feeling so confused and he knows it looks bad but there nothing he can do I wonder what it`s like to be right there in his shoes [Chorus] But no I`m just taking it in out the window of a hotel bedroom again tomorrow I`ll be gone I don`t know when I`ll be back and this world everything can change just like that, that, just like that, just like that that, just like that, just like that Yo somebody right now is dropping his vote inside a box and trying not to get shot in his throat For the act of freedom right now somebody is stuck in Iraq hoping that he gets shipped back breathing in a war but he`s not really sure of the reasons so we show our support when the press mislead them though we more then remain proud and salute the troops get some I know you boys got some work to do Meanwhile right now someones 25 to life and is standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchhiking stretching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner sneaking through the water just to work and to eat a real dinner Right now someone wishes they were you and I instead of second guessing fatal thoughts of quiet suicide But right now I`m staring at the window at a fiend with holes in his arm and holes in his jeans he pulled out a cigarette and sparked a light and walked right around the corner just outta my sight But yo I`m just taking it in from the second story hotel window again, the TV`s on, and my bags are packed, but in this world everything can change just like that, like that, like that, like that, [Repeat] Ya right now somebodys sittin` in the darkness trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment but they got a little mattress a little carpet and they appreciate it cause some people on a park bench you see `em when you rushing to get to the office wife ride by em when she comin` from the market right now somebody comin` out the pocket tryin` to dump that rock they runnin around the block with same time cops is raisin` the glock with aim to fill your legs and your back with some hot shit right now somebody`s strugglin` to stop this man thats kicking and punching cussing at the doctors down the hall a child is takin` his first breath the doctors ain`t even passed him to the nurse yet yo I wonder if he understand what it`s worth yet like the time spent on while we hear on the earth yet the answers to the questions we all seek can be found it depend on how free y`all think right now its somebody who ain`t eat all week that would kill for the shit you throw away in the street I guess one man`s trash is another man`s treasure one mans pain is the next mans pleasure one say infinity the next say forever right now everybody got to get it together man Im just taking it in another strange hotel lobby again put my luggage on my back I dont know where I`m at I`m in world where we all change just like that, like that, like that, just like that, like that, just like that Just like that, Just like that [repeat]
- Running from my Shadow
Wanna know where I don’t go
When it goes from OK to a oh no
When it goes from hi five to a low blow
When it goes from all five to a solo
Lemme tell you what you don’t know
I been down / so low / I was
Looking for something but denying that I found it
There’s an elephant sitting in the room
- Spell It Out
It’s like a triple-staged darkness, listen and drift
Every muscle in your skin starts to shake and shift
You can hate the gift, but my phrases daze your click
Spray your when i spit, i mean it
You’re just too conceited, repeating and repeating
You’re a thugged out gangster pimp ‘til you believe it
Seems like there’s too much pack, we don’t need it
I’m cool on your heat, you can keep it
- Step Up
Watch as the room rocks
Mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You cant tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesnt make you an emcee
- Strange Things
[Verse 1:]
Everybody up
Let me introduce to you,
a man that herd of who you thought you knew,
give me a couple of seconds just to prove to you,
you never did, but let me give you a chance too,
I use to swear everybody had it in for me
people only wanted to talk to spit on me
- Watching As I Fall
Excuse me while I kiss the sky
Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of lies
Thinking I'm okay, but they're saying otherwise
Tell me how I look but can't look me in the eyes
Watching as I say this and then I do that
Telling them the old words but in a new rap
Then I change my mind up and make them lose track
Shit I'm inconsistent I thought they knew that
