Intro-
i've been down this road before
at least a hundred times or more
Esco-
Started from the bottom made it up to here
worked up to this point for the last 30 years
perplexing emotions feel different but equal
To be happy or sad both effect your cerebral
This climb's steep and treacherous and challenges our faith
we don't give up
we see it through and journey everyday
Each man controls his own fate
and has to make it his own way
Dig the trails , clear the path make it easy for his family
But eventually that rock erodes and when it breaks down
It may not be what he wants but its God's will now
Its an empty field when you realize that your rocks gone in them hard times
when you turn to lean but theres no one and you face plant on that hard line
you lay there and inside you you play back those tough talks
when your luck sucked and you fell down and he had to help you up cuz
That trust in him to fall back on to be strong when you feel weak
It can't stop when that climb calls gotta stand up on your feet
Chorus-
Inside you lies a flame
Can't you hear me calling out your name
And you've always had the spark to make it shine
Light that fuse and watch your passion fly
TP-
On the verge of burning alive no reason to stop
drop and roll born restless with this soul that I got
Lots of drawbacks managing perfecting the flaws
now at the point that its to steep with what I'm trying to haul
i gotta choose to either stay or just let go of it all
and I'm not stupid i know doing this influenced you all
but I choose family I won't let this journey ruin us all
And Let the music run me over till I'm blue in the balls
Even if its true or its false
for whatever it cost
With all the traditions we've lost
My family duty it calls
To make the circle revolve
and aint no mountain to tall
to raise our childeren with a purpose thats the point of it all
Every second ...every step.... I've always found a way to climb-
up a little higher another way to rise
dreaming theres a view that other people cannot see
i gotta make it over this there isnt a choice of defeat
Chorus-
Inside you lies a flame
Can't you hear me calling out your name
And you've always had the spark to make it shine
Light that fuse and watch your passion fly
Bridge(TP)-
Aw your at the peak now
Take a look down
Wonderful... Isn't it look around?
Now this is the moment... Now don't you ever quit
Just listen to the voices as they chatter in your head
You've come to far...
I would never submit
I would never give in
And I would always find the the will to win
A will to get it a will to survive to the finish
Now figure out the next steps and push it to the limit
Chorus-
Inside you lies a flame
Can't you hear me calling out your name
And you've always had the spark to make it shine
Light that fuse and watch your passion fly

Come On
Verse 1 TP-
ever since i can remember from being a little kid
as i stop and take a look at all the things that I did
and realize that I aint finished I aint calling it quits
Since time is prescious I can't even waste the time to reminisce
When theres a lot more left of living and a little more to give
Man I'm not leaving any chance for would coulda but ifs
or have regrets and pass on something I could never forgive
and if theres passion then the possiblity still exists
That I'ma make this happen( happen)
Overcome and adapting (dapting)
Blast through anything or whatever the challenge
and Sacrifice whats not important prioties that I manage
Like a tray full of plates I gotta keep it em balance
Without dropping a single one or shattering any talents
and I know.... deep... inside my mind ,
Thats...The reason why ...
Chorus
I've Got to lead the way
Lord knows THAT I can't wait
No matter what it takes
The cards we're dealt to play
Got to lead the way
No matter what it takes
Lord knows I can't wait
I've got to...
Got to lead the way
Verse 2 Esco-
Off top buring it up and bout to blow
Warming up switch the gears up to volcan-o
Everybody ready? Its time to roll
Lets shake it on up come on let's go
Never follow paths gotta make my own
Best to clear the way here come the rolling stones
I'm gonna lead the way call it pioneer
Front of the pack like a red nose deer
You a knock off, we a name brand
so knock it off before your girl want our name branded
T-P-E-S-C-O we the closeing act about to rock this show
Glad you jumoed up on the beat bus baby wheel keep spinning round
One thing that I know for sure this rides influenced bound (Influenced Bound)
Chorus
I've Got to lead the way
Lord knows THAT I can't wait
No matter what it takes
The cards we're dealt to play
Got to lead the way
No matter what it takes
Lord knows I can't wait
I've got to...
Got to lead the way

Intro-
Yeah... TP Esco, crooked I ,
Don't know what it is about this music but I don't think I'll ever get enough
Chorus-
Some say the paper you makin is what you weigh
Some chase the fame so they say that they know your name
Some people claim that I'm crazy cuz I don't give up
Maybe Some day but till then
I just can't get enough
Verse 1- Esco
Enough is a enough what the hell does that mean
I dont compute pute ..error... Fallacies
If my papers what I weigh - then ima need anutha plate
and What I need ICE for when I dont even skate?
Slip dip ride out down to the hideout
when the flame is flickerin dont let the fiyah die out
You can Cry out but neva say enough
leave it up to us to be there and call your bluff
So today we here to set it straight
and let you know it aint the lavish things Thats keepin us in place
Its you! You How much clearer can we be
find it in between letter t & letter V
but time ta shatter the Image of the matter
Said we'd knock it out the park well hey batter batter
and Diddle Diddle piper playin on his fiddle
in the middle he was riddled by dem boyz dat make it sizzle
We just out here doing our thang
buss bussin our rhymes aint a damn thang changed
Except we Badda... colda...Young testarossas
breadth of success rests on ur own shouldas
So Soldiers.... time to knuckle up
Go to war with the weak and tell em ta pucker up up
Verse 2- Crooked I (Kxng Crooked)
An old man told me if you fail to plan then you plan to fail
I was raised in the hood predicted to be a statistic dead or locked up in jail
Yeah...shout out to my moms she handled her own biz
Shout out to my pops dodn't even know his kids
Now I got the landscaper working on the crib
My future is so notoriously big
The past is small shout out to my haters f*ck yall
Get a deal then change how I feel? F*ck Naw
SHout out to my supporters too .. whats up yall?
Like tennis I'm just here to bring the racket plus ball (wow)
Star quality homie its all part of me
I'm living my life behind the bars yall pardon me
cuz my artistry so much of a part of me
Its the soul and heart of me my art is my art-eries
Chorus-
Some say the paper you makin is what you weigh
Some chase the fame so they say that they know your name
Some people claim that I'm crazy cuz I don't give up
Maybe Some day but till then
I just can't get enough
Verse 3- TP
Wait a minute
I'munna Get it where I feel its equivalent
To the level of something thats so impressive
Influencing every message
with attack and deadly flow
Its doesnt matter when you finish
as long as you on a rolll
so roll wit me ,an I'ma tell you just why
You can never get enough and that aint just a state a mind
Bottom line , any time you combine
or put the letters together in a consectutive line
TP ESCO rewind
play it back it doesnt matter its ahead of its time
horizons aint even a vision when you trying to fly
Beyond the gimmicks aint no limit if everybody behind
Me and scoe sipping scotch
with the game on lock
Trading shots
right until the sun sets just watch
From east to west just look at the evidence
ever since the very second that I bought my first record
Making music is the medicine
Play it its overdosing
Wont stop till veins are frozen
emotions run deep till the page turn over
So Until then I just shrug my Shoulders
Chorus-
Some say the paper you makin is what you weigh
Some chase the fame so they say that they know your name
Some people claim that I'm crazy cuz I don't give up
Maybe Some day but till then
I just can't get enough

Verse 2
In a short amount of time I can capture attention
Infection spreading detrimentally in every session
We dishing heat and reaching temperatures you never could measure
Imagine being kilometers underneath all the pressure
And thats the feeling that you get when u deep in obsession
Progression forward till you feel ur on the edge of perfection
Wish i could see my future now.....
At least to figure out
How much longer can it be til I break out from underground
Vacuum coming up sound
Turn it down ((Echo) Voice down drop beat out....))
but I dont have to drop the beat for me to hurdle any sound
iLL maneuver thru it verbally & figure it out
Somehow I always make it hit get it rockin the crowd
Its undeniable from childhood up until now

I keep on walking through these walls i gotta knock em all over
Put on guitar or play Percussion the discussion is over
Chorus

I got that mentality
of a rockstar

Verse 3- ILL3K
I'm on some hustle bang and tustle is you ready to ride
I'm spitting flows that break your kneck

Let me reside in your mindframe
Who got the hot flames?
Who got the hot flames?
Who got the fire that can keep it hot like wayne mayne?
The flow contain pain and don't sustain rain
But guaranteed to catch fire like it was propane
Another day another dollar nothings changed mayne
Origi-nal zoo original Artistocratz
rise n shine you will find we hooked up like acrobats
Now sit back while we pack stats
Commence with pimpin..

Just sit back and watch these boys act a straight fool
From that zoo twon to the mug and gun ru
We cause that blackout what the hell yall gone' do?
Chorus
I got that mentality
of a rockstar

I got that mentality
of a rockstar
come roll with me

Verse 1 TP-
Like the sunlight creeping through a hell of a storm
A locamotive motor rolling overheating them boards
I know the feeling of achievement so I don't need an award
Ok and its been a little while so they doubt and ignore
But These the keys that I needed so I open them doors
The boys back with a little more some of that noise
I'm hoping its doper than just local so i'm focused and poised
To hoist myself up from the bottom like I'm outta detroit
And Its long damn drop from where I started before
The rope I'm holding onto climbing and get ontop a billboards
Pick up the slack and make a lasso and pull your back to the floor
See it don't matter no more
The moment that I release
Another heater even better everytime I'ma beast
I'll Leave you questioning your skills and second guessing yourself
As for your girlfriend I guess she can start undressing herself
Hahaha...
And if you need any help...
Just Let me know young lady I'll be there in the flesh
I meant be there in a flash
Now lets get back to the track
The dragstrip gone in 60 flipping ending a crash
Booyah
Thats the sound I release when I do ya
Chorus Jamie
I need something to take me outta my mind
Looking for a remedy looking for a sign
Anything to get two seconds of peace
what i wouldn't give now for a little release
Verse 2- Jay
Kush filled cookie, flyer than them rookies I be higher than giraffe pussy
My resume let me know my paper be hella straight
In a porsche sport so of course they can illustrate
Jamie watch me like a movie let me strike a pose
Quoted I'm a star and they know I got the leading role
My redbone gotta face like Janet, ass like nicki
Blowing cash like baby and lately
these niggas been acting kinda hoe like
Like your type a player for life I aint got no wife
And I like to spend a little cash on em low
tell em what they wanna hear I be gassing them hoes
4 door coup peanut butter on the seats
I;m the hundred grand man I buy you leashed
You starve I feast I'm a beast
I'm a predator praying on niggas who look weak
TP lased the track for a little release
Chorus Jamie
I need something to take me outta my mind
Looking for a remedy looking for a sign
Anything to get two seconds of peace
what i wouldn't give now for a little release

Starting this off

Pause for a minute as I gather my thoughts
As I cross the dance floor to the land of the lost
To my universe spaceship coupe blast off

Let me just take a moment
I'm from Allendale Your from Okmulgeee
I'm from Michigan Your From Oklahoma
And we both somehow just ended up in rancho cucamunga
In the state of California, all the way in the west
A heavy influence our sound suggests this
From hours of practice and plans were put together
On every instrumental the sessions just don't let up
Every Concept & melody down to every letter
the recipe transformed and consisitently got better
While people still wonder how two wrestler connected
attending a regimeneted college that unexpectedly
became the foundation ...creative destination
Escaping the formation for layers and course of training
For recording That would form and incredible force waiting
cultivated making music thats a little bit gangsta
Chorus
Well I've been looking at the periodic table lately
and i aint never seen an element that ever made me
TPESCO and note
That whenver put together the record 'll explode

Intro Kurupt-
Verse Esco-
Ever since I was a child I was captivated
By Music I felt gravitated
it opened up the door
allowed me to explore
So many other genres wouldve other wise ignored
Have you ever been touched by a song or a verse
to the point where you can feel the pain and tell how bad it hurts
when the words emerge into a perfect verse
with emotion bursts man the pen does work!
Through Their losses..... Their stories....their come ups...and their glory
and that passion makes it happen
Till it cultivates the brain-an creates that reaction
Now if we do not change our direction were likely to end up where heading
Chorus-
When it comes to music, I love all kinds
Go through my catalog (yeah) you 'd be Suprised
Okay then try me...Whos on your list?

Tell me whos your top five
well I'd Only Pick the ones I'm Influenced By

Verse-
This an Open discussion
On melodies and percussion
How certain music reaches people and some others it doesnt
But thats the beauty I just you people evenly judge it
Because I put to much heart in this for you to make an assumption
About my swag, my delivery or even my rhymes,
I'm sure with even your favorite artist there is something to find
That we can hate on but we don't so skate on by
Let me rewind and take it back to 92 to 95
Man I always loved music but it was that year I
Started to learn how to use it and develop my mind
My Older brothers I looked up to whad they bumped in they ride
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg Warren G and Sublime
Red Hot Chili Peppers Nirvana the list goes on
But now I'm old enough that I can make a list of my own
This Music is a road map, never leave it at home
always keep it with me never know how my days gonna go
Monday jack johnson james taylor keep it sloww
Tuesday pick it up WITH tech n9ne & some Bone
Wednesday throw it back to anything deathrow
Thursday through Sunday you already know
That its Something westcoast
Kurupt and Roscoe
Dr. Dre & Snoop thats a standard combo
Hopsin & Kendrick are new to the show
And Of course Makaveli in a leauge of his own
Chorus-
When it comes to music, I love all kinds

Pure imagination venomous creations (Like)

Chorus
All of these voices echo inside my head at night
How can I ever let go not ever knowing why
I can't escape the feeling I know whats wrong and right
So many different choices, that I don't want to decide
Verse 1 TP-
Have you ever analyzed your own life and to try simplify
To understand and grasp the logic of your state of mind
That gives some sort of reason sequencing to tell us why..?
Why your where u stand right now, with all these options open skies
All these choices wrong or right controlled by things influenced by
Science Theology OR religion you decide
you define and intertwine in your life and coincide
Try'n to find out whats your purpose searching hope to recognize
Before you die and press rewind I just hope that you realize
Every move we make sub-consciously or not it all applies
All these choices bring a change even though some only in disguise
Verse 2 Esco-
First off its my time and I made that choice to shine bright
So if you runnin da wreck game Stay way behind my lime light
cuz my rhymes fly from my windpipe and sit right on that track man
They let it stay liuke that fat kid waiting up in that snack lane
anticipate your next play your lifes just like a chess game
got to mitigate those big threats turn them into check mates
so whats up its your move so tell me whats up next?
On the road to success is to process those next steps
Choices either carry direct or indirect consequence
The result isn't often synonous without thinking of the obvious effects
Like if I do this what changes next and if it happens what should I expect..
Verse 3-Roscoe
Yeah, voices inside my head choices inside my mind
if thereS poison in this bread I'm hungry enough to die
Make noise with the pen loud as a nigga can
I've been doing this for years ever since I was ten
Every place you ever been you niggas just gettin in
I'm the one given lessons you suckas just sitting in
Why the fuck you even talking when you should be listening
Fuck a secret society, fuck sobriety..
I need something to compromise my anxiety
Change my identity lower my notoriety
Cuz I won't trust these devils inside this industry that lie to me
Chorus
All of these voices echo inside my head at night
How can I ever let go not ever knowing why
I can't escape the feeling I know whats wrong and right
So many different choices, that I don't want to decide

Verse 1 Esco-
Im a Desperado baby I done travelled down this road before
Ive neva been afraid to have to take it on the road alone
and No...I'll neva succumb to the /masses
Im a outlawww raw doggn I bust dat ass kid/
tell me you if you dare....come at me incorrect...being fake all in my face you betta keep that junk in check
cuz when i feel it building.....Ill be sure to take you there, careful trickery is slippery its hard to see it clear
The spider always spin.....an intricate web of lies
and when he feel it vibrate ...he knows its dinna time
Its the Survival of the fittest mother natures deadly game
that bitch is itchin for some action betta hope she know my name
Its a bad... bad world & ive comes to terms with that
Ive learned that Haters gotta hate players play the game it takes the snake to catch the rat
Chorus :
Once you know
That They Won't
Help the things you're searching for
On the road
On you go
Rolling all along alone
Alone ...Alone... Alone... is the only way you'll know
Do ya know
Truly know
So you might as well help yourself
Verse 2 Jesse Fick-
All along I guess I'm meant to be alone...
Thats why I'm not picking up my phone
I'm working to godamn hard
red cup full of JD toast to all of the women who tried to play me
ANd thats word to my paycheck and I aint even moved into my own place yet
I want the world to rewind how we used to be
But feeling like everybody is using me
could ya get my song on the radio
or at least do a hook for me?
As I get older
my blood gets colder
sick of time wasting looking over my shoulder
So I try to put it behind me likes its over...
But naw I can't help it ...they selfish
Chorus :
Once you know
That They Won't
Help the things you're searching for
On the road
On you go
Rolling all along alone
Alone ...Alone... Alone... is the only way you'll know
Do ya know
Truly know
So you might as well help yourself
Verse 3 TP-
In this life that were living and giving
With all these people around you gotta be cautious cuz they hidden
Yeah they gotta get what they got by taking advantage
And Always worried about themselves i wonder how long they can manage
And damn its funny when they think that I don't know
Fake grinning shouting out TP & Esco!!
Yeah.. thats my group, yeah thats my band
Whatever.. fake ass stan
I let you think that your someone I can confide in
Often times I wonder if I called you out would you deny it
I can feel you Hating in the background hiding
claiming that your riding but I know that your lying
Face to face I wish you'd tell me the truth...
Phony Muthafuckers... I can see right through
It's like the youth, its all hysterical
Saying that your proud of me but I know you aint caring though

Chorus
Losing it
Yeah I'm losing it
Yeah I'm pretty sure I think I'm losing it
Losing it
am i losing it?
Cuz Lately I've been feeling like i'm losing it
losing
abusing it
wont choose another way, There aint no use in it
Life is just a Fantasy
Passion or insanity
I'm losing it
Verse 1 TP
Let me start this since I dont feel a reason to be catious
lost without the reason walking around lethargic and natious
possibly i guess that i've been addicted how i'll get off this
I dont know...I'll just hit it untill I crash in a coffin
off my rocker wait a minute travis get it together
whats up with life and why is growing up not making it better
you used to always be up 2 something now whats getting you down
is all that weight that youv'e carrying burrying you in ground
I thought that you could do anything with the passion and smile
true happpiness is something i guess that I aint had for a while
you always seem eurphoric
good for another hit
but lately i cant seem to find anything that motivate it
Wasting time i'm feeling bored like I don't know my design
Getting older and i feel it as I notice the Time
Everything is going quicker exponentially climbs
Its like i'm Losing in the end from winning all the time
Chorus
Losing it
Yeah I'm losing it
Yeah I'm pretty sure I think I'm losing it
Losing it
am i losing it?
Cuz Lately I've been feeling like i'm losing it
losing
abusing it
wont choose another way, There aint no use in it
Life is just a Fantasy
Passion or insanity
I'm losing it
Verse 2 Tri-Star
Chorus
Losing it
Yeah I'm losing it
Yeah I'm pretty sure I think I'm losing it
Losing it
am i losing it?
Cuz Lately I've been feeling like i'm losing it
losing
abusing it
wont choose another way, There aint no use in it
Life is just a Fantasy
Passion or insanity
I'm losing it

Verse1 Jay Love-
They say momma didn't raise no fool
But its hard to stay cool when you aint got no food
Can't fix shit when you aint got no tools
So I be looking in the mirror like what can I do
Shit I've contemplated suicide..
I seen death around the corner
Plus I made it out the corner
Cali life limes and Corona
Fresh up out the mitten came to Cali cuz its warmer
Shit I'm trying to find a better way
I'm just a christian that was lead a stray
I know my pastor probably hate me from the choice I made
But its the choice I made
1 life to live you get your birth and your grave
I'm just a slave to my circumstance
Came from the bottom trying to make it out by any means
Life is but a dream
I prolly wouldn't change a thing
balling like Labron but I never got a ring
Chorus
I can't change myself
Try and rearrange and well
if it fall blame it all on me
If this is meant to be my destiny
Let it happen blame it all on me
Verse 2 TP-
Man enough with this gradually you will eventually have to see
My aggressive capacities don't just stroll through shit casually
Always look for different angles from whatever the masses see
I refuse to hear the reason this is just how it has to be
So I do what comes naturally
Even if its more challenging
I approach with tenacity on the chance of insanity
and I know I get attached hanging on to things sporadically
But I can't grasp the thought of passing the chance on these formalities
That just makes me feel pressure, I'm already gasping
Can't imagine having the freedom of guilt pursuing something as passionately and knowing this is more than just fantasy fame or gaining something financially believing God gave me these talents and my family to balance me
Someone lean on me, if I change directions now then tell me how to be happy?
Voices chattering after me only so much time to find
No wick left to burn I fade away and press rewind
Chorus
I can't change myself
Try and rearrange and well
if it fall blame it all on me
If this is meant to be my destiny
Let it happen blame it all on me

Reality
Verse
Overdosing no hope
Close your eyes Cope mellow your emotions
anxieties approaching
Feel awake
Grounded
finally find something really tangible power in hand
Touch of reality ,
Can't ever get enough of that that feeling that moment it entered this life
The center of your attention that you can only describe
as something god given meant to be serendipity it seems reality creeping
I feel its inevitability sink-ing its teeth deep into me
with every gamble i take
those dice i'm holding blow em kiss em roll em knowing the stakes
cuz i'm addicted to the feeling this way
knowing that I could just walk away
but whats the point of being rich if
you don't ever take a risk
Big enough when the advenutre
isn't fun to play
Now just escape into to the deep blue sea
Out on the break, where no goes to see
the risk you take, and you could gamble it all
Facing all that pressure you know you hande til you balance or fall
But stay determined to find
a way to stay channeled through things you influenced by
Along you travel
Just How far will you go....
You gravel the road
While unraveling-reality slow
Chorus
It feels good flying high
Catching them vibes
Summer time living when you getting it right
But when the leaves fall down
The sunshine stops
Praying that the rain hold up and don't drop
But its all keeps falling down
Can't turn this plane around
When you borrowing time
Its hard to rewind
All of that gold all of that shine
Its not reality
Esco
Wake up take a look in dat mirror.... where da hell is my refleeection
Whose eyes are those so dull wit sadness that face done lost complexion
You're a shell of the man that you used to be ....and ur headin in the wrong direction
Now How the hell did we wind up here .....both worrysome and Perplexin
...Now da Only time we speak is in a dream of a younger innocent me
It seems
We're different now.... Ur lost inside and Im lost within Tryn not to hide
but that mouth in the mirror moving...Moving....words comin out.... confusin fusin
Im Losin it I'm Losin you hear what I said try to fight but im losin...
Give me a sign I need it desperately I fight till the damn near death of me
But All these signs are like a recipe foor the innevitable death of me
Drop to my knees put my hands to the sky
Silently Screamin n am I asking God Y
As the reflection slowly starts to disipates
The answers looking at me the mirror .... welcome
Words form on the mirror....... welcome welcome to reality
And I drop to my knees and I ask a similar question Wut is it im overlookin I could really use a suggestion
before he can answer I wake from my dreams no solutions
Im stuck in reality
Only Reality and silent screams
But before he can answer I awake from my dreams but instead of an answer
All im left with is reality and silent screams
Before he can answer I awake from my dreams
and instead of some kind of definite answer,
all Im left wit ....is reality........and silent screams
Chorus
It feels good flying high
Catching them vibes
Summer time living when you getting it right
But when the leaves fall down
The sunshine stops
Praying that the rain hold up and don't drop
But its all keeps falling down
Can't turn this plane around
When you borrowing time
Its hard to rewind
All of that gold all of that shine
Its not reality

No matter where you come from
No matter where you wanna go
Living life aint easy
As we walk on down the road
Clumsy feet can trip you up
Heavy hearts will weight ya down
But in the end I know I've found
At least a higher ground
Where things get alright with the weather
But Sunshine can't heal it all
Just rebuild what we can before all of the pieces fall
And involve a whole lot of regrets
and bad events temporarily convinced
forgetting theres any chance
we can ever make it better instead of just trying to dance
were sitting behind the fence and wondering where it went
That dream you were chasing or relationships with friemds,
To big to swallow your pride let the tension build instead
So go ahead and say your sorry send that card to make amends
Its never to late to make a change until the oppurtunity ends
Chorus
Its Better Late, then never
Its better late then never I know
Go face your problems you got but dont ever
You could say your sorry and you were wrong
Say your sorry
Before the chance is gone
Then take it back
The world don't work like that
It's Better Late, then never
Than never , than never, ...yeah
Thats a powerful word that can make ya doubt things
And Make regrets .....last forever
Esco Verse-
When we first met at that time it was never right for us
but you never gave up on me you would always fight for us
In spite of us....states away...seeing other people now
I knew that It cut you deep but I didnt see it working out
I was too Conservative always scared to take the leap
Scared that if it didnt click....love would end up obsolete
and you'd retreat broken hearted on back up to michigan
and Id be feeling like a jerk cuz I didnt feel it then
Shoulda grit my teeth buckled down found a way to work it out
But I was too.... immature .....stepping back I realize now
So I apologized for everything I put you through
And this is what you said to me...I've never given up on you
Then .........As the months flew by
thought... how could I have ever been the to beee sooo blind
Forgive forget apologize live in the moment fall in love
Never know..When its too late / and by that time its over-done
Chorus
Its Better Late, then never
Its better late then never I know
Go face your problems you got but dont ever
You could say your sorry and you were wrong
Say your sorry
Before the chance is gone
Then take it back
The world don't work like that
It's Better Late, then never
Than never , than never, ...yeah
Thats a powerful word that can make ya doubt things
And Make regrets .....last forever

Let me put you on sumthin to make life betta when u wake
Its the smile song and Itll help you start your day
And Thats to let us not forget that lifes not that shabby----------------------
Thank God for the gifts in my life like my family
Im alive Spending time with the family with the ones that make me happy
Collect my thoughts relax n take a shower---------------
Keep the negative at bay cuz I've got that power
In the end trust the fortune alooone / wont make you happy
Trust me wealthy individuals are just as unhappy
So the choice is yours cmon force that smile------------
its contagious watch the faces as you walk on by
As they light up you made somebodys day all with a smile
Its all about L-o-v-e LOVE - Dont end up on da wrong side of the see saw
promise Money nevea give u that
Your capable of the happiness youve dreamed of
And I can promise that
In fact
Chorus Jamie Dionne-
Money, Cars, clothes all the fancy things you can buy
They can sure take up all your time
But they still can't make you smile
Living your life like a race in a hurry
Maybe you just should slow on down
And Take a break from the stress and all the pressure for a second
knowing nothing's gonna bring you down
Verse-
Now I'm not trynna to act like i know an easy fix
or anedote for when you feeling sad
or that.....
you supposed to feel guilty for all of that success
and all them really nice things you have... come on
But i''m sure you agree how easy it is to get caught up
Anytime ya feeling down and bored with life you went and Bought a ....
brand new car or a house on the water
And just look at ya now
Ya feeling happy ? kind a? sort a?
Well Aren't ya? Ya hear me? Then Gimme an answer
I'm JUST wond-er-ing how can that be When people avoid ya like cancer
Pleasured by the temporary Bliss
and ya never even notice
Never venture deep into the root and really try to focus
On what makes you happy what makes you smile
Not the the semi-colon end parentheses that you reply
or the comments on your status or how many likes you can aquire
Like my momma always told me,
"Trav its something much higher"
Chorus Jamie Dionne-
Money, Cars, clothes all the fancy things you can buy
They can sure take up all your time
But they still can't make you smile
Living your life like a race in a hurry
Maybe you just should slow on down
And Take a break from the stress and all the pressure for a second
knowing nothing's gonna bring you down
