[Verse] By the ocean side alone, staring at the shore Goodbye to yesterday, I know I'ma miss you tomorrow Really wish you had extra sand in your hourglass I would take a photograph but I'd rather just live in this moment After all, it's these memories keepin me alive Of conversations that make us who we are inside I see a rising tide, hope I don't drown in my soul In case I do, I'll pour a little wine and make a toast Cuz ain't no tellin where we goin when the summer's gone People change and rearrange, we reached the age where youth is lost The world is movin on Autumn leaves are on the trees So wave to all the waves and kiss the sand on the beach A shame I didn't spend more time outside with ya To feel your warm touch and hear your calm whisper When we split up that's when I noticed the leaves fallin The weather got windy and skies got darker And things fall apart for a reason Rebuilding tomorrow, beginning of autumn Season of transition Rebuilding tomorrow, beginning of autumn Season of transition

Forget about tomorrow, lets link up tonight I know we got problems, we'll push that aside That's the motion of the ride Emotions you can't hide Instead of goin out in the cold we'll stay inside We can chill and catch a flick Drink some wine and order in Go a couple rounds, pillow talk until the morning hit Been a minute since we've been so intimate, I miss you Miss I'm probably sayin too much, I'm just a little kid I see you blushing by the way you changing colors By the way, you looking luscious with your curves under them covers, ugh When I crumble up all I need is your touches Cuz ain't no better therapy than lovin from a woman, nuh-uh [Chorus - Phelix & Michaela] I don't wanna yell or scream I just want your company Come over and lay down Lay down Come lay down with me I don't wanna yell or scream I just need your company Come lay down with me Come and lay down, lay down [Outro adlibs - Michaela] Lay down, lay down Lay down Lay down with me Lay down with me Lay down, lay down Lay down Lay down with me Lay down with me

[Verse 1] My heart just skipped the metronome The symptoms of passion got me loosing my balance And falling for her is something I can't control What a slippery slope Told myself that I won't Ever get caught up, ha! I guess you had the last laugh Used to be good friends and now we past that A thin line between love and close contact And once you cross over you can't cross back I appreciate ya, cuz I understand You like a work of art through a rose-colored lens The essence in your presence What a sight to see You make a mufucka wanna sing, like [Pre-chorus - Phelix & Michaela] Hey Mona Lisa Let me paint a picture of you Hey Mona Lisa Let me take a picture with you Cuz I'm proud And I wanna show you out And I'm really loving your smile And I'm digging on your style Oh wow, oh wow [Chorus - Phelix & Michaela] As long as you got my back I swear I got yours As long as you got my back I swear I got yours You and I blend together like watercolors Let's paint a blurry picture of our water-colored love (love, love) Water-colored love (love, love) Watercolors [Verse 2] She too good to be true Maybe it's all an illusion My conscience holding me back Don't wanna jump to conclusions The thought of you in my thoughts Is kinda pissin me off You got a hand on my heart Don't want you to tear it or lose it I'm either thinking it smart Or I'm thinking it stupid I just don't wanna be wrong When it comes to the future So if it's you I'm pursuing I need to know right now If you can handle the ride when it's upside down That's when she hit me with a smile And said "I got you! Promise me the same and I'll stand right by you" It's a deal That's when I saw her eyes shed instant tears I guess the rain make the pain disappear Disappear, disappear [Pre-chorus - Phelix & Michaela] Hey Mona Lisa Let me paint a picture of you Hey Mona Lisa Let me take a picture with you Cuz I'm proud And I wanna show you out And I'm really loving your smile And I'm digging on your style Oh wow, oh wow [Chorus - Phelix & Michaela] As long as you got my back I swear I got yours As long as you got my back I swear I got yours You and I blend together like watercolors Let's paint a blurry picture of our water-colored love (love, love) Water-colored love (love, love) Watercolors

[Verse] I think about her Used to breathe her in like air Started as a gift, then it turned to a curse It's my fault cuz I love too strong Had to write this song just to heal this hurt We've been on again, we've been off again I don't know where we are I keep workin shifts, you keep arguing Til the point where you start To play the victim I'm just trying to make a livin Who right? Who wrong? You makin that decision? Really? You actin like you not guilty? Haah? Even when the glove's fittin? Word? I ain't saying that I'm perfect But I know I ain't worthless So tell me what you searchin for? I won't take it personal You probably best with the average Joe, with the average flow So we can keep passing notes or try to patch shit like adults But you irrational You gon' end up in a padded room if you keep taking on that approach That's factual Where the fuck do we go from here? Because it's crystal clear we ain't compatible 'Fore I disappear, I'ma pack my clothes And wonder what the hell happened to our happy home, girl [Hook] Thought you were the only one Thought you were the only one Thought you were the only one Thought you were the only one

[Chorus] Tell me there's a heaven on the otherside Make me feel free, make me feel alive I just wanna see you again, this can't be the end If it is, tell another lie Tell me there's a heaven on the otherside Make me feel free, make me feel alive I just wanna see you again, this can't be the end If it is, tell another lie [Verse 1] Tell me there's a heaven on the otherside Tell me that hell is just a state of mind Tell me that the kids get to laugh And the good wins the bad And the rules ain't black and white Let that feel real for a moment Realer than the words from a poet Writing out a sonnet Waiting for atonement By the prison gates, nothing pearly bout to open Nope Welcome to the terrordome Trapped in a small cell far away from home You can sleep in it And you can dream in it But be prepared to wake up to nightmare visions Been a mission of misery Guilty energy clogging up all my arteries Stress is starting to get to me Pressure building intensity Desperation for liberty They claimin I'm the enemy Is that how you remember me? [Chorus] Tell me there's a heaven on the otherside Make me feel free, make me feel alive I just wanna see you again, this can't be the end If it is, tell another lie Tell me there's a heaven on the otherside Make me feel free, make me feel alive I just wanna see you again, this can't be the end If it is, tell another lie Go head, tell another lie Go head, tell another lie Uh, tell another lie This can't be the end [Verse 2] Always thought I'd live to be an old grandfather But stories change and I'm far from the main author Just a character written inside the Book of Life Till I was hit with this venom, now I can see the light Eyes opened up wide while in mid-sleep Coughing blood, eyes tearing cuz I can't breathe In a panic 'til my lungs cleared up Too scared to see the doctor, I don't wanna know what- -In the fuck is goin wrong with me Don't need ya sympathy Just need a remedy Don't wanna Rest In Peace Where can I go when I wanna be consoled? I'm losing faith in a God, so tell me who in control? Who the fuck knows I'm getting weak in the knees How can the cancer be cured when you can't cure greed? Hope we reunite but in case we lose touch Come give me a hug before they pull the plug [Chorus] Tell me there's a heaven on the otherside Make me feel free, make me feel alive I just wanna see you again, this can't be the end If it is, tell another lie Tell me there's a heaven on the otherside Make me feel free, make me feel alive I just wanna see you again, this can't be the end If it is, tell another lie Go head, tell another lie Go head, tell another lie Uh, tell another lie This can't be the end

[Verse 1 - Phelix] Lookin back at all the mess that was piled on Future history, talking analogue in my dialogue On the road to success, passin milestones The whole crew cheesin, fuck it, get yo smile on Ain't too cool to show teeth around here Cuz I'm where I'm from you can't show tears around fear Emotions ain't clear so I guess we ain't free yet Shoutout to Assata, shoutout to Mumia Diving off the deep end like I mean it And I can't even swim so that line's got a deeper meaning Risk my life for the lines that you feelin Share a page of my pain in exchange for yo healing Cobain with the 'Spirit', I'm raising the ceiling And breaking the limits, while you praising the brilliance Changing the system, 808's with the rhythm And I'm taking no prisoners, face to face with the villains, bang! [Hook - Phelix] Getting lost in the city of the Angels No squares in my circle, so I'm trying all angles I'm trying to put some change in my pocket Make change like a prophet Gotta eat like it's my last supper Getting lost in the city of the Angels No squares in my circle, so I'm trying all angles I'm trying to put some change in my pocket Make change like a prophet Gotta eat [Verse 2 - Synnsere] Big dreams in a small city Pillow talkin with my conscience Only time that I'm honest Only time that I'm real Vision is too surreal Pleasure followed by pain, those feelings hard to conceal Pardon my method, you wondering if it's worth it You tell me keep it 100, but shit, ain't nobody perfect Barely scratchin the surface in this thing called "life" So if I die today, is you gon call tonight? Momma said "if it ain't broke then don't fix it" But I'm broke and I'm gifted So tell me what's the difference? Slim chances But I know shit can change in an instant So I handle my business, that's why I stay distant All the bitches I grew up with, niggas that I came up with Family that I lost and all the baggage I'm stuck with And I know that it ain't gon change if I make it right So for now I'm gettin lost in them city lights [Hook - Phelix] Getting lost in the city of the Angels No squares in my circle, so I'm trying all angles I'm trying to put some change in my pocket Make change like a prophet Gotta eat like it's my last supper Getting lost in the city of the Angels No squares in my circle, so I'm trying all angles I'm trying to put some change in my pocket Make change like a prophet Gotta eat [Verse 3 - Shogun] Ayo my vision's such a scary sight Heavy turbulence, like if you went and boarded a suicide kamikaze flight I'm a product of narcotics, a broken home Alcohol like a muhfucka, so you know it's raw But I survived that cycle I teach my seeds to beat the machine Fuck a Young Thug, I teach a regime Got a prophetic mind, I don't fall fast to pathetic rhymes Listen to the heart of man, see what your soul can't confine In due time it reveals the real Even the Bible says it's a time to kill I'm out wandering through the shadows of the valley of death 2-stepping with this devil got me gaspin for breath Bars behind bars, meaning literally That tough talkin and woof, that shit's little to me I've done some things in my life I wouldn't share with my children I look into a mirror, I'm staring at a villain, feel me? [Hook - Phelix] Getting lost in the city of the Angels No squares in my circle, so I'm trying all angles I'm trying to put some change in my pocket Make change like a prophet Gotta eat like it's my last supper Getting lost in the city of the Angels No squares in my circle, so I'm trying all angles I'm trying to put some change in my pocket Make change like a prophet Gotta eat

[Intro] Shit Man, where'd the fuckin time go? Shit just kept slippin away [Verse 1] Waking up like a groundhog Missed the whole summer through a slumber And now fall has changed into winter I can't even remember The last time I spent the holidays with my family in December What a pity it's been between me and my kin Staring at a blank page, just me and a pen Gripping on a grenade, just me and a pin No love without war, no peace without sin I'ma tell it how it is and tell it how it should be Something in the air make the clouds so soothing I'm sorry to everyone that I let down I wish I could rewind and make you all proud Just know I'm gonna make up for the lost time And make moves without talking like a pantomime Another sun, another moon, but it feel different Wish today could last forever but time slippin [Hook - Sample] Slip away Just slip away Slip away Just slip away [Verse 2] Trippin out, looking at old photographs Just a little boy holding hands with my mom and dad I had to let 'em go by the end of grammar school The shit just wasn't cool, had to learn to be a man Around the time I had a pager and my own wallet Traded the toys for the girls, late night talkin Couldn't drive around so I got a bus pass Really thought I was the man when I grew a mustache What a fuckin laugh I get when I reminisce Funny how the things you miss is the little shit Used to wanna turn 21 like so bad Now I'm thinking while I'm drinking, this shit is so bad I feel a contact coming on And when it hit midnight I'll be coming home Old sun, old moon but it feel different Wish today could be eternal but time slippin [Hook - Sample] Slip away Just slip away Slip away Just slip away Slip away Just slip away Slip away Just slip away

[Verse] I used to see my dreams from a distance Said I'd be the winner by the winter Didn't let the fear hinder my ambition I've been so focused, I've been so attentive Been calling shots in accordance to my vision Pure premonition Rare lyricist, right time, serendipitous Rap mysterious for the curious Like I'm building pyramids Point blank period Better yet, triple it, ellipsis Can't stand the heat, better get out the kitchen If you trying to eat, better clean all the dishes Bicks got fire like a red Bic's lighter Been putting in work, every pour's perspired We the soul providers Something you've been missin Real know real, I ain't never met fiction My rule to livin - "no gettin without givin" Practice what you preach or die a talking contradiction Practicing like Iverson when he was with the Sixers Bound for perfection, the magic's in repetition Yea, repetition Hmmm, that's the business 10,000 hours, 600,000 minutes That's the difference in the work ethic Yet mufuckas wonder why they struggling to make a dope record Took some effort to turn the doubters into believers They used to see me as an outer-space daydreamer Ain't really talk much unless I had a good reason Cuz ain't no need to speak unless I'm speakin through the speakers Cuz I'm an MC, all my words worth somethin But you don't hear me though, and that's the worst of it I see the earth suffering News showing no coverage And crime on the rise when your IQ's plummet What a coincidence Evil derive from ignorance And evil run the world, ain't no home for the innocent I'm about to go and hit the road til I'm in effect I'm about to go around the globe in a private jet Make a couple million, call me a comedian We gon' see who laughin up the most by the end of this

[Intro - Phelix] To keep it real I ain't been feelin .. To keep it real, I ain't been feelin too strong lately I ain't been feelin too strong lately Yea [Verse - Phelix] To keep it real, I ain't been feelin too strong lately Might see me flexin, but this weight got me close to breakin I'm in a underworld, playin a game of tug-of-war My eyes watering, trying to weather this thunderstorm Got enemies takin shots at me to up the score But bullets can't graze when your aim is amateur Immature, uniformed, outdated dinosaurs Frontin like they really know the know but they so uninformed Let me break it down for you and catch you up to speed The closest to ya, is gon hurt ya, the first cut is deep Watch for the slight of hands, the truth ain't always what it seems They pass the joint but I pass, that ain't my cup of tea I'd rather pour a cup of whiskey with some ginger ale Exceed my limits till I'm tipsy off the Richter scale Life ain't no wishing well, this life is gonna give you hell And break your back for this cash like it's the NFL Been thinkin bout all of my nieces They growin oh so fast, it's gettin hard to believe it I love all of 'em dearly, hope they hear it sincerely I know that home get quiet, we get lost in the TV I'm guilty The block ain't been the same since the recession hit My cousin was a house away, he'd offer mentorship Used to visit all the time to talk music and politics He the first Felix to graduate off a scholarship For that I'm proud of him .. congratulations! You made yourself quite a life to reflect on Viva La Presa! No matter where we go from here Skies the limit, fuck a ceiling, break a chandelier I could've been another victim in the system Had friends who had names, now they callin 'em statistics Where the love at? Cuz in the hood it's often missin Gangs shootin and killin, got cemeteries in business Cops doin the same, there ain't really much difference They say it's self-defense, but who you kiddin? These eyes don't lie, but these laws do bind In favor of politicians who can profit off crime So why ask why when the truth is right in front of you? The best teacher is love and ain't no substitute World gone mad, but my fam keep me humble though "Cada mente es un mundo", that's my mother's quote She said the truest wealth is knowledge of self And heavy is the crown so I pass it around If I eat, you eat, we all sharing the throne Cuz what's a king without a team? I can't do it alone NOOO! It don't work like that My pops would be ashamed if I didn't act with class He a true OG, always got your back Who else you know water grass in some creased up slacks? Holla at 'em Joe! Peace sign, home-run like I'm Sam Sosa Turn on the grill, let's invite the whole fam over Let's connect and show love to see what we about Cuz clicking "likes" on a picture don't fuckin count Flashbacks to my childhood back in '94 A passenger in an Acura with my big bro Cruisin the city, listenin to Biggie My mind blown up the first time I heard "Juicy" "Baby-babyyy" Now who fuckin with that? Cuz it was that exact day Phelix wanted to rap Now look where I'm at What a marvelous thing You can say I dreamed BIG since BIG had a dream And R.I.P to the beloved cuz we miss ya And though we distant, it's your essence that's within us We wouldn't be us if it weren't for your blessings A shame planes can't fly to heaven I can feel your presence [Chorus - Parrish] All I, all I, all I, all I All I All I, all I ever needed, needed, need Was your presence All I, all I All I All I, all I ever needed, needed, need Was your presence [Outro - Phelix] In loving memory of Briana May the heavens protect you and keep you happy Till we meet again Love you Bri Bri
