[Verse 1]: Alex-Ander Now what would you do if you knew you could never top the plot? 'Cause everything rushes, like please, stop the clock You'd be pissed, and with people and all their talk You wanna' snap, but they always just call the cops All they do each time, is exactly the same shit Like "you need help" and "he's only another untamed kid" Man, please, slow down, back it up Look at me and see that my whole life I've had enough These are some of my thoughts, while I'm just trying to live it up And I swear sometimes, but who honestly gives a fuck? Man, the shit I go through, you can say it's so pathetic But I guess the more shit I go through makes me more poetic So tease me, hate me, watch me explode Do whatever you want; it'll help me write these poems Sometimes I wanna' snap out, blow up, but I don't I would if I could, but I can't so I won't [Chorus/Hook]: Alex-Ander So I need to stand up, 'cause right now it's essential I gotta' keep going, but I have no potential Does life have a definition? Maybe I should go and check my own intuition There's nothing like luck I guess I gotta' stand up [Verse 2]: Switch I always tell myself, that I need to stay positive I'm just a one man team, I try to do right as I live But get caught in a dream, caught up in a fantasy Where none of us are mean, and we speak with honesty But I know it'll never be, Just look at us honestly And I grew up way to fast, seem's to be haunting me And I flew to go and crash, remembering my memories And I look at myself now, and say do I remember me Need to stop and say wow, how can this all really be The world can be destroyed, by us more importantly I remember being at school, and the kids pointing at me Pushing and laughing at me, kicking walking pass me I thought they were happy, and yet there weren't sadly There life's just as crappy, so I let them get mad at me I know I'm a better person, know that I have morals I know that it can worsen, I'll be strong and stand up [Chorus/Hook]: Alex-Ander So I need to stand up, 'cause right now it's essential I gotta' keep going, but I have no potential Does life have a definition? Maybe I should go and check my own intuition There's nothing like luck I guess I gotta' stand up [Outro]: Switch Somedays I'm just fed up, I wanna to say shut up But I need to just stand up, be proud of who I am Be proud of what I can do, and don't take any shit And I'll never cave in, they won't get me to quit (x2)

[Chorus/Hook]: I wasted so much time Put so much on the line I had to sacrifice 'Cause of my way of life Say can you hear me? Say can you hear me? [Verse 1] It's crazy how people can change and follow their dreams After all they've been through, they swallow the things That put them down, which gives the strength to get back up No matter what life throws at them, they always act tough That's what I try to be, forget the anxiety And the depression and all the different varieties Of those meaningless things that I've been diagnosed with So I'll put all that garbage into a different emotion I swear to any doubter that I'll prove them wrong I'll start movin' on, and not make a stupid song Instead one that makes all of their jaws drop Just another song to prove to you that there's no way I'll stop So go ahead, keep hating Because I'll just keep going and keep paving This road to success, and that's where I'll be on my way But now for a bit, I'ma walk away and say [Chorus/Hook]: I wasted so much time Put so much on the line I had to sacrifice 'Cause of my way of life Say can you hear me? Say can you hear me? [Verse 2] Now for some thank you’s, it had to happen eventually Thank you to all the people who traumatized my memory Because in a good way, it made me think differently Another small reason why I try to make history Thank you to my parents and all that they did to me It was worth the suffering, ‘cause now I’m on the way to victory Thanks to all the girls who went and just stabbed my back And turned theirs away, but I’m really not made at that You taught me exactly how not to act in a relationship Life lesson, now I know what to make of it Thanks bullies, for beating me up at recess and break Meet me now, I show you worse than what I had to take Thanks to all the people who treated me like garbage All you did was motivate me to go further than the farthest It’s insane, but I’m happy for the people who tried to break my life ‘Cause I’ll re-write those wrongs and guarantee I’ll make them right [Chorus/Hook]: I wasted so much time Put so much on the line I had to sacrifice 'Cause of my way of life Say can you hear me? Say can you hear me?

Alex-Ander Summertime, chilling, the breeze is what I'm feeling Beats over my ears and beats are what I'm killing Red cup on my right, splif on my left Listening to Khaled 'cause yeah, we the best Let the beat drop and feel it flow through your eardrum While I'm in the sunshine, loving all the freedom Got a couple ladies on each side to comfort me My boys over there, rolling up another tree Feeling nice, that's the way that it's gotta be Fuck the past, man, and every time it got to me Outside relaxing, starting to really live a life And damn, I can tell you that it's really feeling nice Let everything around me slide and just slip away Now in this life, I never wanna miss a day Wake up in the a.m. to start another great day Alright, I'm done bragging, hand this off to A-Jayy A-Jayy Living in the summer weather, what we roll up is better Try to stack up every bill like a stack of cheddar But I need to start up, while I light my dart up Grinding hard for a come-up Weather so nice, camos no shirt, feeling nice 'Bout to take a dime to the room, hit it, no price But for now, I'm with my boys and we partying steady I hit the mic, come up with bars that are fluently deadly And to the past, it just made me learn a lesson Live everyday to the fullest, everyday's a blessing Gotta hit Olean by the end of the summer See my fam down there, shots, rounds for another 'Cause they held me down when no one else was there So I'ma show y'all that I really care Take a shot, take a toke, and laugh about a joke In the summer, we send messages through the smoke For the world to see, it's just us, you and me And the team that you see Summer 2013 NBDMG Yeah, and it's Double Y, Double Y

[Chorus/Hook]: Hook by Micki Consiglio Wherever you are I’ll go If you give me a second chance I will go This time, I won’t run away So please don’t let me go [Verse] Don’t say a word, now listen I’m wishing for you to come back with forgiveness ‘Cause I was dumb, I wouldn’t love me either But I’ve learned to relax and just take breather I know, you’re mad at me, I know, it’s reality I know you may never may feel differently actually And I hate even thinking that to myself I hate that my heart’s burning, but it will never melt I don’t want this to happen, nah, at least not today I wanna see me and you, until we rot away I guess this is just another game that I gotta play I wish we can go back where I could stop and say In the middle of the halls “see you next period” But now it’s all ignorance, and you’re serious About leaving me, and just letting me go If you do come back, I’ll love you and let it show So… [Chorus/Hook]: Hook by Micki Consiglio Wherever you are I’ll go If you give me a second chance I will go This time, I won’t run away So please don’t let me go

[Verse 1] I think there's a demon inside Maybe that's why I'm always screaming to die Yeah I'm crazy, or people are just fucking lazy Like my mother, who couldn't just get up and raise me So every part of my life has a hiccup Everyday I wake up and I'm ready to give up Can't live tough, that's why all my rhymes are weak No one listens, so I don't know why I try to speak Say goodbye to me, after this is your last chance I'm like that dude at the club who just can't dance Outcast, drink away the pain, then out fast Going nowhere, argues to shout last Living to die, breathing in to choke Let the spirits go all the way down his throat And feel it come back whenever he speaks This is me whenever depression is at its peak [Chorus/Hook] Take me away, just take me away Go and find someone to replace me today I'm waiting for me to be gone and faded away Take me away, just take me away (x2) [Verse 2] I try not to weep when I'm sad while many sing But I'm that teen who gets upset over everything I'm always stressed and no one understands it Giving me anxiety, wanting me not to panic I'm only writing to free all these feelings And by then, the blood'll be done congealing Getting emotional, I wish I were emotionless But instead of fighting for things, I only hope and wish [Chorus/Hook] Take me away, just take me away Go and find someone to replace me today I'm waiting for me to be gone and faded away Take me away, just take me away (x2)

------------------------------[Chorus/Hook]------------------------------ [Verse 1] Damn, and I’m always looking through the night, searching Bust my ass off, all the time, still not a good person Dreaming, yet, believing, I’ll laugh at haters when I see ‘em Trying to find a decent reason why the doubt is peeking I write real shit, well, maybe that’s the problem But what would you do if you lived at rock bottom? Demons, I fought ‘em, liars, I caught ‘em All the fucking people I hated, wish I coulda shot ‘em But I guess beggars can’t be choosers So no matter how much I want this, maybe it won’t be my future ‘Cause the game is full of cheaters and lunatics Stupid shit, I can write about that, but not that stupid, bitch So I write verses with a purpose, trying to be assertive Until I hear the applause when they close the curtains But nothing’s working, all the birds are chirping Just wait until those motherfuckers are hurting ------------------------------[Chorus/Hook]------------------------------ [Verse 2] Sometimes this dream seems like it’s too much But it comes down to the question, “do I give a fuck?” And the answer’s a no, I’ve been through enough So what’s a couple obstacles to me that aren’t even tough And I can prove it with all the bruises and the battle scars The devil tried drown me in his wickedness but I paddled hard Got away, left a stray, the game of life, we gotta play But it just matters on which of us all wanna stay Despite on how little I was raised, I'll look you straight in the face And tell you that I’ll put the haters in place And I don’t got any masks on, man, that’s wrong I got my game face on, you can tell when I rap strong So push me, shove me, soon enough, you’ll love me Come out strong, and shock the hell outta everybody Cocky, a bit when it’s this close until my lid pops All you jealous fucks will be dead by the time this kid stops ------------------------------[Chorus/Hook]------------------------------

[Verse} I wake up every morning, aiming for a better life Looking for a bright future, but there's just never light Something's irritating me inside, but I don't know what it is exactly All I know is that something's avoiding me from being happy And I'm too nervous to go out and do things publicly Psychiatrist, send me back to where I belong as a troubled teen The past is gripped, I'm always getting pissed on I'm still sick of writing lyrics, like the ones in this song 'Cause no one wants to hear it, it just makes them fear me But I'm just expressing my pain, and hopefully someone hears me Maybe have a group of people who actually can relate Show people that there are things that a single man can't take I'm sick of everything, like being manically depressed So for now, it's impossible to put insanity to rest But I'm gonna write these lyrics and put it ina golden flow And when I do get better, I'll say I hate to say "I told you so" [Chorus/Hook]: They say don't get lost, you are the leader And don't do that, be a believer When the sun goes down, you better hide It's a dangerous world, better stay inside and Run along, run along It's a long, long way, home from here Run along, run along It's a long, long way, home from here, yeah

------------------------------[Chorus/Hook]------------------------------ [Verse 1]: Alex-Ander Yeah, yoh, I can feel it I know a lotta people hate me ‘cause I write a lot about real shit Now let me take a minute and focus on my dream And forget about the threats about living broken on the street That’s how I was living Some of the mistakes I’ve made are still sitting unforgiven To make it through all this pain is all that I’m wishing And then later, have you give a fuck about what I’ve written But, nothing’s guaranteed Except your grave in the ground, buried, six feet deep But you all just take my dream, and play pass around While I’m pacing around the school, staring at the ground I’m gonna make it in this life Burn every wrong person down, who hates me ‘cause I’m right About going a lot further than they ever can I know for a fact that I can grow up to be a way better man ------------------------------[Chorus/Hook]------------------------------ [Verse 2]: A-Jayy Feels like I'll never find the way of this maze Stuck in a daze on a total different stage Mind in amusement, really 'bout to lose it Drugs and alcohol, time to, time to abuse it Me and Paully jamming, man I love you, bro We've been through a lotta shit, man you already know And me and Alex-Ander kill it with the flames of the flow Hear the music blaring when we walking through the door Man, visions of a dreamer, try to believe ya But I'm only human so I don't see ya Hustle hard, hustle hard, if there was a god Then why's there so much evil in earth's façade? People die, mothers cry, free world? That's a lie We're being controlled by the government amongst our lives Just be you, and always strive And take the chances for your days to survive ------------------------------[Chorus/Hook]------------------------------

[Verse1]: Alex-Ander Now I want to and I feel the need to give some advice Never give up on your life, I know you know what's right I've been beat up so many times, beat down to a pulp Surrounding it was a bunch influences that were false Came home crying everyday to unsupportive foster parents Struggling with people around me who were careless I almost couldn't bare it, but look at me, I fought though You got people to talk to, man, you know I got you Like I said before, going through things make you stronger So in the end, it's pretty much like a painful honour Some may feel like a monster, but I know you can conquer Anything good, and that'll make you breathe longer 'Cause your powerful, you got it all in your hands We all gotta dream, so always follow your plans The gist of it, you got the strength to fight for your own faith And you gotta believe for change, it will never be too late [Chorus/Hook]: Austin Anderson Running, running, running From the past, running, running, running Make me into something, something, something And we all fight to the very end 'till we die Running, running, running Finally we're running, running, running Make me into something, something, something And we all live life, then away we fly [Verse 2]: Alex-Ander Looking at myself, asking turn down for what? 'Cause every home I lived in I'm burning them up They all told me that wouldn't ever make life count So everything they threw at me, yeah I'll take right down I'm gonna try to do this 'cause they said I couldn't do it In one ear, out the other, I'm moving right through it Fuck the bullies who said I couldn't ever rap No, I'm not there yet, but I'll put me on the map And fuck the people who drove me crazy And every single parent out there who failed to raise me Apparently, your parental skills are shit But every bridge I burn, bitch I'll build one quick I can go on for days about my messed up childhood But I wanted to show you what a thousand miles could Do to you, I know what it's like to be thrown all away Take it from me, brush it off and don't be afraid [Chorus/Hook]: Austin Anderson Running, running, running From the past, running, running, running Make me into something, something, something And we all fight to the very end 'till we die Running, running, running Finally we're running, running, running Make me into something, something, something And we all live life, then away we fly

[Chorus/Hook] Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much There's no need for us to rush it through Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much This is more than just a new lust for you [Verse 1]: Alex-Ander Don’t think about it too much, but everything seems too rushed Life’s flying right passed me and yes, I do give two fucks I guess it’s time for me to get up and ride on a new bus ‘Cause this one’s taking me no where, and I’m car sick, I threw up I’m sick and tired of being broke, all the time I have no cash So I bitch a lot in my songs, that’s why you think my flow’s whack I’m gonna get outta this situation, damn right, I know that I’ll go further than far, and there’s no way that I’ll go back And no, I don’t think I’m the one that goes through a lot of misery I just feel like I’m the only one that has my exact history Just like you have yours, he has his, and she has hers And yes, I already know that my life could be a little bit worse That’s why I’m thankful for what I have, thankful for my past Thankful for everything, even kinda grateful for the trash That I’ve been through, since I was little kid Because everything that happened to me then just made me literate [Chorus/Hook] Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much There's no need for us to rush it through Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much This is more than just a new lust for you [Verse 2]: A-Jayy

[Chorus/Hook]: Anna I'm so crazy about you And I can't let you go You're beautiful I'm so crazy about you I know you feel it, too All that we've been through I'm so crazy about you [Verse] You’re a rocket, a dime For the ones about you, I'm never gonna be stopping these lines You’re above top of the line, lips, lock them to mine It’s all us, so without you, I'm not gonna shine Smile brighter than beyond words, wanting this to be long term Every time we fight, makes us stronger No, I'm not gonna let go ‘Cause every time I see you near, I lose my breath so I love you to death, yo, you bring me my best flow Do I promise there’s never gonna be a mess? No But next time I’ll make it better When you’re mad at me, I don’t care if you take forever ‘Cause the next day. we’ll wake up, make up Shortly after that, maybe even make love Huh, maybe this is all just fantasy Try to make it reality ‘cause we can be together, happily Crazy [Chorus/Hook]: Anna I'm so crazy about you And I can't let you go You're beautiful I'm so crazy about you I know you feel it, too All that we've been through I'm so crazy about you

[Verse] Look, now I just gotta say a few things 'cause it's been all positive to me what you bring And. yeah, how can a human be so beautiful? And how can someone being amazing be the usual Uh, and trust me you're both Plus more, that's why sometimes I get nervous and choke Well, that's something I gotta get used to We're perfect for each other and I don't want to lose you You're number one to me, sorry for the cheesiness You're gorgeous, I tell you, why don't you believe in this? Well that's my job to boost your self esteem That's the least I can do for the way you started helping me So please stick with me by my side And when you cry, I'll be the one to dry those tears off your eyes And now with you, my struggles, I can kiss them goodbye Now just close your lips, and feel the friction from mine

[Chorus/Hook]: Austin Anderson Where'd you go? I missrf you so Seems like it's been forever That you've been gone [Verse 1}: Alex-Ander Now I don't really know what to say or how to feel But there's a wound in my head that'll never heal Another obstacle of life that won't ever pass by So all I can do is sit around and ask why? Why, why does this happen to the best of us? Or at all? Now everyone has less than trust But it happened, and don't tell me to settle down 'Cause now I know things will never get better now You were a great, like with acting and photography They way it would turn out would always mind boggle me You've taken the way I think to a whole other level Rest in peace, Martin, you'll always be something special [Chorus/Hook]: Austin Anderson Where'd you go? I missrf you so Seems like it's been forever That you've been gone [Verse 2]: Alex-Ander Can’t believe that it’s going on four years Since you left me here alone with all these tears Broken hearted, as you leave me with the chest pains Since you’ve been gone, nothing’s been the same I hope you know that I’d do anything to have you back I keep stepping on the pieces of the shattered glass That I smashed that day that I won’t forget 3 a.m., May 15th, 2010 I still love you, I swear, that won’t ever change You’re beautiful in every way, and you bet you’re brave I don’t know what to do, it’s outta my control But whenever I think of you, I think, grandma, where’d you go? [Chorus/Hook]: Austin Anderson Where'd you go? I missrf you so Seems like it's been forever That you've been gone

[Chorus/Hook]: Rihanna You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes, fancy car-ars And then you'll see, you're gonna go far 'Cause everyone knows, just who you are-are So live your life, ay ay ay You steady chasing that paper Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay Ain't got no time for no haters Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay No telling where it'll take you Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay 'Cause I'm a paper chaser Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh) Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh) [Verse] All I’ve done my whole life is just stay hiding in a corner Keep shit to myself and try to avoid any sort of torture Fearing anything that could possibly end up outta order I tried my best to give my all, but presented about a quarter Than what I can be, that’s not all I can do, which you can’t see Being the best I can is my first option, fuck a plan B Fuck a hater, fuck a councillor, and the ones who made me angry Still today, there’s times when the human nature drives me crazy But I get up off my ass, start hustling through all the struggle Get past all that bullshit, and then I’m thankful for all my hustle Tragedies paid off well ‘cause look at all my mental muscle So now I can finally put the pieces together of life’s puzzle Sometimes the sky’s shaded grey, all I got is a pacing brain There’s days when I’m in bed and it’s just another lazy day Cry myself to sleep and in the morning, awake the same But I say fuck that shit and feel my past life fade away [Chorus/Hook]: Rihanna You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes, fancy car-ars And then you'll see, you're gonna go far 'Cause everyone knows, who you are-are So live your life, ay ay ay You steady chasing that paper Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay Ain't got no time for no haters Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay No telling where it'll take you Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay 'Cause I'm a paper chaser Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh) Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh) Now everybody watchin' what I do.

[Chorus/Hook] I shot for the sky I’m stuck underground Why do I try? I know I’m gonna fall down Thought I could fly So why did I drown? I don’t know why It’s coming down, down, down [Verse 1] You know, I thought this happiness would last But I guess it wasn’t meant to happen just like that So I try to put this life’s trash in the trash But to do that I gotta slash through all of the mishaps Why do I try to get up when I’m destined to fall? What’s the point of having neck of Tylenol When the headache is ongoing, and it's constantly bad Why would wish for happiness when no one can promise me that Yeah, and that comes back to trust issues Which happens to many people when love hits you And also to a lot people in a families With tragedies, driving to the edge of insanity Then there I am, screaming for help Then there I am again, dreaming for wealth My knees are weak, and I'm just crawling now I was flying for a little bit, but now I'm falling down [Chorus/Hook] I shot for the sky I’m stuck underground Why do I try? I know I’m gonna fall down Thought I could fly So why did I drown? I don’t know why It’s coming down, down, down [Verse 2] I hate that half the province can tell when I'm depressed That means they can probably also tell when I'm stressed `Cause then comes in the laughter and the rumours Jokes about being retarded and having a brain tumour I just wish that I could be the one laughing now `Cause with every laugh comes with an inch closer to me backing down I`m half decent by myself but man do I ever lack in crowds I wish that I can just say that no one can pass me now And be truthful, maybe even feel useful 'Cause I'm not getting that sensation whenever I doodle On this page, probably 'cause it's all outta rage Because I'm always stressed out, can't get outta that phase And here I am, just living broken Hoping the scars will start closing but they stay open So it's useless, trying to make a movement But I get immobilized when people say what I write is stupid [Chorus/Hook] I shot for the sky I’m stuck underground Why do I try? I know I’m gonna fall down Thought I could fly So why did I drown? I don’t know why It’s coming down, down, down [Verse 3] Verse 3, I`ll stop complaining after this People may laugh at this, but I try to move back a bit Then I fall into the depths of jealousy So express through a melody, even I wanna commit a felony But I restrain And then go through the same cycle of agony and pain Yeah, to live or not should be a no-brainer But all I got left is a pen and a piece of paper And people don't care, it's just used as joke Words cut deep, may as well just hand me the rope Get it over with, so I don't mess up any longer They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger So call me weak and selfish if I ever end my life Until then don't expect me to befriend my knife But forget, let me pass away Torture one side and then throw the other half away [Chorus/Hook] I shot for the sky I’m stuck underground Why do I try? I know I’m gonna fall down Thought I could fly So why did I drown? I don’t know why It’s coming down, down, down
