What I'm searching for
To tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
Walking by myself
Down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me, keep going
Be a pass-by waver
Build me up, bring me down
Just leave me out, you name-dropper
Stop trying to catch my eye
I see you good, you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy, you fast-talker
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
What am I here for?
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself
Not to know you, I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is
That you cannot see me later
You don't know me
I am an introvert, an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now
A face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself an innovator
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
Change, change, change, change
I want to get up out of my skin
Tell you what, if I can shake it
I'm-a make this, something worth dreaming of
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

Shove It
Brooklyn we go hard
We on the look for the advantage, we work hard
And if we seem to rough it up a bit
We broke but we rich at heart
Pull ourselves up now we won't choke
It's our time, put the lights on us
War tactics they make me sick
Reel your heart in run away with it
Smile in your face, undermine your back
Got guns for the strength they lack
So if you know another way
You can't look the other way
If you know another way
Tell them so right to their face
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
I pay for what's called
Eccentricity and my will to evolve
I hear them all say
That I got heart
But not everything that it takes
Taint my mind but not my soul
Tell you I got fire
I won't sell it for no payroll
Let 'em hold me down
I know if I know another way
I can't look the other way
I know another way
I'll tell them so right to their face
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
Entirely, totally
Bring it all together, I want everything
If it's in, this feels like hot gossip
Demand a recount, we poor folks
Waiting on a trickle with your hands out
I got a life that you can call it luck
Because it wasn't due to you
Don't mean I ain't paying dues, you stupid f*ck
I'm on the mind for reaching things that you can't
Just know I'm doing something you ain't
Simple and plain
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We think you're a joke
Shove your hope where it don't shine
We on the look for the advantage, we work hard
And if we seem to rough it up a bit
We broke but we rich at heart

At night it's eating up your head,
Backed against the wall
Got you in a tight place
Though you're not alone at all
Been fighting, trying to place a name on what it's called
Make you feel like a losing streak
'Cause you know, but you're not involved

It's all right, 'cause everything they say
Doesn't make no sense
It's that time
I'm picking up my ass up from off the fence
Gonna blow a hole in this charade
It's self defense
I'm a army, got a whole brigade in my two sense
Louder than they

No, you'd better find a way
Their aim's not pure

Creator
Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion
Can't say it's gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it
Me, I'm a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Sit tight I know what you are
Mad bright, but you ain't no star
Polish up 'til you make it gleam
Your M.O., I know what you mean
Tail riding and I know it's true
While they screaming "I love you"
Down deep you know there ain't no flow
A soul decay was D.O.A., yeah
I know what you here for now
Word's out, you're an ideal whore now
Now don't you crush on me
I'll see you in your pipe dreams
Whether or not you know it's true
You are who they dictate to
That shit must hurt real bad
Fakin' what you wish you had
Me, I'm a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Here all the folks come ask about me
Bandwagon, but they used to doubt me
Blind side tend to hit real hard
You should heed the warning, get a bodyguard
Steady friction in this bitch
Creeping in just like an itch
So far, I got the last laugh
Still the rich rise up, still I live fast
Wouldn't know it face to face
Got no soul and got no taste
Moving in, speed up the pace
I got it locked, though, what a waste
All the talk is standard fare
Walk the walk if it gets you there
On the grind 'til the gig is up
I'll smash 'em down, put a muzzle on them like "what! "

Hey, hey, hey

Lights Out
Lights out, shoot up the station
TV's dead, where's there to run?
Watch everybody come undone
Lights out, we'll make it easy, we'll make it fun
Won't let them see now, how they had won
Still I wait another round
Darling
Don't got to worry, you're locked in tight
Darling
Don't got to worry, turn out the light
Wiped out, no concentration
They got us basking in the storm
I watch it as it loses form
I doubt, they could see me; that's what I want
A casualty, but I am upfront
And I know what it's about
Darling
Don't got to worry, you're locked in tight
Darling
Don't got to worry, turn out the light
I'm still a-shakin' my head
The one you can't account for
I keep just one step ahead
There's no place to run
Darling
Don't got to worry, you're locked in tight
Darling
Don't got to worry, turn out the light
Aah ah ah ah ah...
Darling
Don't got to worry, you're locked in tight

Starstruck
Do it again
And I'll see you tomorrow
I want to get it
You've got something to borrow
Can't make it feel right on my own
That's when I turn you on again
I buy it, but it don't measure up
What is the missed ingredient?
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
Under the skin
It's not so easy to swallow
Don't reel me in
To find my dreams are so hollow
What is it you got I don't get?
I watch you fumbling again
Look dreamy behind your cigarette
Know it ain't true now
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
We all find you easy, so amuse us
Don't get too heady you might abuse luck
You're starstruck
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
And I'll see you tomorrow
I want to get it
You've got something to borrow
Can't make it feel right on my own
That's when I turn you on again
I buy it, but it don't measure up
What is the missed ingredient?
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away

Im A Lady
Now won't you run and tell your boyfriend
Tell him don't hold his breath for me
I got some money I was savin'
Got some hearts that I'll be breakin'
Know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
I know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
She's so fine
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know I spend magic reel it out
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I like to watch the way the wind blows
What does it know that I don't yet?
Oh oh, look so pretty now, you're just so sweet
But see how far you can get
See just how far you can get
She's so fine
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know I spend magic reel it out
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone
No one said no, no one said
Make something with what's in your head
And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know I spend magic reel it out
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Tell him don't hold his breath for me
I got some money I was savin'
Got some hearts that I'll be breakin'
Know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
I know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
She's so fine
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know I spend magic reel it out
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I like to watch the way the wind blows
What does it know that I don't yet?
Oh oh, look so pretty now, you're just so sweet
But see how far you can get
See just how far you can get
She's so fine
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know I spend magic reel it out
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone
No one said no, no one said
Make something with what's in your head
And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know I spend magic reel it out
I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

Anne
My name is Anne, I got a plan
I may lack virtue
But I'm penitent
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
To lose my mind
It's never easy
A shadow still
There's weight to me
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
J-j-Jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I try
The more it gets too complicated
J-j-Jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes
The more it takes
My name is Anne, I'll take a stand
I'll hold my head up dig on in
Ah-oooooooh
You can bait me for the hell of it
I'll take it for the hell of it
See it there, but it's too far ahead
Go numb from how bad I want it
See it there but it's too far ahead
And I hear you calling to me right from here
J-j-Jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I try
The more it gets too complicated
J-j-Jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes
The more it takes
I may lack virtue
But I'm penitent
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
To lose my mind
It's never easy
A shadow still
There's weight to me
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
J-j-Jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I try
The more it gets too complicated
J-j-Jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes
The more it takes
My name is Anne, I'll take a stand
I'll hold my head up dig on in
Ah-oooooooh
You can bait me for the hell of it
I'll take it for the hell of it
See it there, but it's too far ahead
Go numb from how bad I want it
See it there but it's too far ahead
And I hear you calling to me right from here
J-j-Jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I try
The more it gets too complicated
J-j-Jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes
The more it takes

Youll Find A Way
Go ahead, you know you want it
You'll have no other way
You just want to take us down
Go ahead, I'll be the one hit
If I can take you, boy,
It just might throw this town
Oh oh oh, you want to get it
You make us bleed, it'll prove there's life somewhere
And oh no, I want to yell it
But do we speak or are we just nodding our heads?
No way, not me
What you got, it's not for me
But you'll find a way
No way, not me
What you got, it's not for me
Don't reach too far
You will fall over
Don't be surprised what you discover
Don't fear your call
Can't pull us under
You better watch out, run for cover
Don't reach too far
You will fall over
Don't be surprised what you discover
Don't fear your call
Can't pull us under
You better watch out, run for cover
Go ahead, I'll be your junkie
I'll be deplete,
You can heap all rubbish here
Go ahead, now dump it on me
If I go quiet,
Will the itch go down with me?
Oh oh oh, you got to get it
Never mind that it was never there nowhere
But oh no, not for a minute
For now you'll make your bed and it will wait, I swear
No way, not me
What you got, it's not for me
But you'll find a way
No way, not me
What you got, it's not for me
Don't reach too far
You will fall over
Don't be surprised what you discover
Don't fear your call
Can't pull us under
You better watch out, run for cover
Don't reach too far
You will fall over
Don't be surprised what you discover
Don't fear your call
Can't pull us under
You better watch out, run for cover
Tell them that they'll get what they wanted, tell them
Tell them that they'll get what they wanted
'Til then...
Tell them that they'll get what they wanted, tell them
Tell them that they'll get what they wanted
'Til then...
Don't reach too far
You will fall over
Don't be surprised what you discover
Don't fear your call
Can't pull us under
