    Looking For Life
    Chasing The Life
    Chasing The High
    Maybe Tonight
    We catch a vibe
    Wave or a tide
    Maybe tonight
    Wave them goodbye

    Me, I’ve been working all day and all night
    Deep in the fight
    Chasing the life
    We catch a vibe
    Wave or a tide
    Wave them goodbye
    Maybe tonight

    The night won’t last forever
    So we’ll do it our way
    Because the night won’t last forever

    [Son of a black queen
    Never sold class A to a cat or a crack fiend
    Take 2 puff for the body and mind
    Baby it’s just us two
    Put your body on mine
    Put your body on mine
    Baby it’s alright
    I’ve got that weed runner drive still the hungriest guy
    Besides food don’t really do much for the hunger inside
    I was dancing in the rain through the toughest of time
    Not a jacket to my name, just a shit load of faith
    And a handful of 8ths
    For the bank for the safe
    Baby Life is a game, it’s exciting to play
    It’s exciting to play]

    You can tell me how life works
    I could teach you about tight ropes
    Balance life with your eyes closed
    The night won’t last forever

    The night won’t last forever
    So we’ll do it our way
    Because the night won’t last forever
    The night won’t last forever
    So we’ll do it our way
    Because the night won’t last forever

    bundles molly special k chanel blackout its morning
    moving backwards up again our sinking spirits soaring
    fucking up a friday night I’m bleeding from the freedom
    cuts and battlescars last night it was ours

    fucking up a friday night manic up in mani
    in a club with cally saw a gally on a xani
    baby shake her batty let me film it like I’m sammy
    there were people in the bed so we got freaky in a alley
    lost bare cash my head tops mashed
    and we got a couple fines cos the place is smashed
    fuck it go mad we aint trying to come back
    take a loss blow a bag make it back thats that

    ill with love and other drugs we’re seeking affirmation
    desperately we roll along meanwhile our hearts are breaking
    chasing fakes embracing shade creating expectation
    ways you could have grown
    now youre on your own

    expectations created escaped in a spaceship
    she fed me a drink i just blinked now I’m naked
    wavy I’m faded this drink I’ve been taking
    its purple and tasty I’m fucked up and wasted
    i would go home but if i did i’d be basic
    i cant see shit and my heads on vacation
    turn around everyones pupils dilated
    fuck it I’m baking man bill up and blaze it

    for another life
    for how long?

    no pain, no pain

    i walked miles today walked through the rain
    nurtured the pain the dirt the stain
    i turned away the winter came
    i walk alone I’m miles away

    two’s two’s I got you I got you
    you can kick it with the crew like kung fu
    on cue stood in the corner of a dark room
    with a look in your eyes that says I want you
    two’s two’s I got you i got you
    can you make the ting rise like the sun do
    sun tzu the best way to subdue
    come through, do what you want
    who’s gonna stop you

    you lied
    took my love now I feel like a fool
    said you cared
    but you don’t give your love to me

    didn’t I show you love
    didn’t I give you love
    this is what I get from you my lover

    two’s two’s I got you I got you
    i’m just trying to play the fool trying to cut loose
    looking like a cola bottle in that body dress
    middle finger to the world screaming fuck you
    two’s two’s I got you
    no rules it’s us no rules it’s us two
    no rules it’s us no rules it’s us two
    i’m big a shot I do what I want to

    didn’t I show you love
    didn’t I give you love
    this is what I get from you my lover

    lock me inside it so I can revive
    sipping from the potion I mixed up tonight
    the future inside me look into my eyes
    everyday I got to keep it on the prize
    readin this from my palms feelin I was going up
    blowing charms the way that I’m rollin up lighting sparks
    stars got my skies lit from the dark

    i don’t need a stylist for tonight
    i’m back with the antics moving wild
    yesterday was practice now I’m charged
    i was with the bandits and the hype
    every other night out with the tribe
    the way that we crash land no flight
    night out with the vibes
    the way that we crash land no fights

    I don’t want this feeling to stop
    yeah
    i like it

    turn it turn it turn it up I ain’t even had enough
    still calling shots oh what a feeling
    but this feeling never need to stop
    level up
    always wanna put the stop on my buzz
    the money keep tripping up nearly four
    i’m doing this overseas and ashore
    wait
    that’s why I’m moving hard
    give me too much right from the start
    making more enemies by the night don’t mix your energies with my style
    touch that and reverse I swear this whole day was a flash
    you making it all numb in my heart
    i think i should back up and restart

    i’m feeling
    stagger stagger stagger

    where are you?
    why is there no love anywhere?

    who the fuck said you was invited
    it was uncut and you just defiled it
    end of the night let’s try to revive it
    we’ll make it home you know we’ll survive it

    no time for insights stop at the red light
    everyone jumped out the ride
    shook but I’m hype
    never been the type
    so bitch get the fuck out the car

    john belushi shades on flying on the FDR
    gucci guilty cologne a bitch named caviar
    loyal to the game now she’s fucking with the king of hearts
    good pussy cleaning my wallas while i’m writing darts
    feeling like don johnson that man from miami vice
    casinos, they stop all bets when they hear me dice
    ferragamo footrugs two couples in the black wraith
    white range rover two white boys in blackface
    be easy, we bumpin stayin alive by the bee gees
    bitch sniffed all my fucking coke being greedy
    i grabbed the jacket she grabbed the fiji
    and threw up dominos pizza all on the TV
    said “fuck you ghostface” and cracked my CD
    she took one leg out the car and took that pee pee
    told my man behind the wheel she’s feeling freaky
    His girl said “uh uh bitch, fuck you kiki”

    this is a downpour not scattered showers
    dipped in a minute soaked in an hour
    smash out the windows here come the sirens
    started out quiet now we’re all fighting

    where are you?
    why is there no love anywhere?

    long time
    good night
    late night
    late night

    stars that were
    your eyes
    that sky
    that sky

    words i am words

    skin me alive I’m not quite ready to die yet
    but put my visage on someone else
    let them be me
    let them be me

    words I am words
    heard I am heard right now
    dreaming face down in this dance
    dreaming face down in this dance

    this life
    all night
    deep inside
    deep inside

    freezing clouds
    your eyes
    that sky
    that sky

    words i am words

    brrrrrrrrrr

    is that my night?
    blew so much P’s
    i don’t know whether I got an eighth or an O
    that’s my taxi outside beep beep

    boss man hold on two seconds I got to get my socks back on my feet

    taxi outside beep beep

    come on sir I can’t wait here I’m going to get a ticket, got to move on

    can’t even sleep
    i need me one blem
    little cigarette just to try and forget
    the things that I said might have been way too raw
    fuck that blem
    fuck that white line
    brown, green, blue sky looks mean
    turning grey

    pretending nothings wrong

    your pain goes on

    waking on a whisky haze
    sleeping waking fucked both ways
    hope i didn’t call you late
    remember now you weren’t awake
    how’d i get home
    wheres the damn phone
    turn onto my side I’m straight
    wallets by the bed I’m saved

    stop the fucking world I’m flayed
    what a fucking mess i’ve made
    nights that sabotage my days
    maybe thats the way I’m made
    jeep that never had no breaks no
    cant make it to the bed til the weights gone
    praying I’m a man when i wake up when i wake up

    pretending nothings wrong
    when all the time
    your pain goes on

    buckled at the bathroom
    wake
    swore i wouldn’t wake up late
    slipped into the past its fate
    fingers in my throat fish bait
    thats the eggs gone
    thats the legs gone
    forehead on the floor I’m straight
    face against the tiles I’m saved
    stop the fucking world I’m flayed
    what a fucking mess i’ve made
    what a fucking mess i’ve made

    pretending nothings wrong
    when all the time
    the pain goes on

    live alone
    die alone
    almost lost my soul trying to find a home
    burnt toast
    no breakfast
    burnt toast

    i was alone through the bad days
    working my arse off
    practice
    telling myself that i had this
    madness

    i was alone through the bad bits
    rollin around with some bandits
    keeping it calm through the antics
    through the madness

    we adding wood to the fire
    me I’ve been drinking all night
    feel like I’m losing my mind

    live alone
    die alone
    almost lost my soul trying to find a home
    burnt toast
    no breakfast
    burnt toast

    you don’t know pain i hope you never have to
    til youre sitting in a black room on your jack jones with no one to catch you
    and all you ever see is bad news that follows bad news
    the kind of shit that just stick with you like an ugly tattoo
    i prayed so much god probably blocked my number shit he had to
    now i get blessings like I’m sneezing like I’m sick like atchoo
    always stressing always smoking like i’m in a bad mood
    live alone I’m nothing special everybody have to

    locked in a cell in your mind

    temporal
    yet eternal

    i knew then that i had come down to earth
    and if yesterday I had known freedom
    now I felt captive again

    and so I wandered stripped of everything
    everything which had no word but itself

    my soul was not yet so dismissed as to be lost

    if there is light we do not intrude upon it
    and if there are tears, know that it rains also
    more powerfully than our sorrow

    circles, always circles

    this world’s gonna break our hearts
    with joy
