Make Moves 01:42
Lyrics To Go: Back in the day when I wasn’t even old A teenage mutant ninja turtle on my Nintendo Got a copy of Honey I Shrunk the Kids on Betamax Sitting back, got a knapsack and a snapack Rap it on the Yakbak Or that Talkboy Shock rock the beats, get green like bokchoy I got the melody on the Casio key Time to get hype, master the ceremony We cruise through Every moment that we move you If I am the Amy Tan mystery Solve the blue clues By the way we use food Through my music Satisfy you with the lyrically couscous Emcee with the mocha cheek Drinking ice boba tea Hold the soda please Yo we order these Beats, no beef on the plate, Don’t harm flesh Order locally Make it farm fresh Haven’t you heard? I be the best Free from gravity no need to kill time I wait less So fly west We Far East, I’m repping it Step the negative, no Spit the positive flow Don’t be so competitive I’m editing your sedative I get it You’re repetitive But it’s time To get up Stand up Go and put your hand up Open up the mind Then we can command it

Let me start it off The end of my nerd era I’ll be more Michael Jackson and less Michael Cera I wonder where a Filipino'd set his derrier-a Brown skin blue Sadly like Billy Triceratops Blow into emotion Put me on a terror watch Love and I clash Like metal rocks in a pair of pots But tonight we'll make love Like you’d expect My death blow Like a breath go into a clarinet This is melodic A nautical type song We swim through the body Embodied the night long Before the sun separated the dawn We on Another level of living We get it on Militant In any military position we be the bomb The juxtaposition of color and stitch It sucks to be the cold heart again So let me be the funky pattern On your Dr. Huxtable cardigan Only smarter than A starving artist with the heart of it Love, but when it comes to this I am retarded-ed Lady help me smooth out the hard part of it Started to break heart like plate shard We take charge. Flash ahead of the class I will be the lightning Turn your sand into glass No more reason to feel rough You are my triple pass Whatever I needed to cut Out of my life you cleaned-ed it up Fast

Before you I was sitting in the dark No love No I never would've started To understand what dearly departed meant to me All it took was a bit of the spark eventually Used to being blind Never speak the mind Try to bluetooth the music Youtube, rewind looking for the sun To break through the opacity Capacity at full, can't see what's right in front of me You got me cramming to understand how we do the math You fraction, quit acting like you never better my half baby you make me laugh I know that we will last So let's get back to the class learn a lesson we in She's the reason I could seize the day like carpe diem Not the type to love and leave them Never one to study Latin even So You're like a star at night I never understood how I saw life Without your light You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I'm alone This is my lover flow If I can only see you when I sleep I'll never let the bed covers go You are my last dream The final fantasy Now you go be the sun Cuz I am the sea Let the ocean rage Over the mountain of your Slight hips As a Cosmonaut I only know how to fly ships Commandant Playlist the kiss Rewind lips Day dream like Jonathan Brandis in sidekicks Kick it like Chuck Norris Delta force the chorus Take a time out Like Kelly Kapowski, Zack Morris Of course Without you Prolly be agoraphobic End of the world And my life as we know it But the flicker the flame The thicker the same shadow Couldnt stop you from showing like a burning candle They want to live in darkness They branded the night Open the eyes and learn to go and handle the light You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I'm alone I had a way then losing it all on my own I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I'm alone

Refresh 03:32
You’re like a fine sip of wine Let the liquor hit the bitter end of the mind If I only got six seconds of your time I’ll make it timeless Record it on the Vine Let me embed it in the brain If you're into that It’s sort of limiting To love you on the Internet Sip and surf Pay no attention to the signs Twitter the track one forty at a time You’re like a fine sip of Hennessy Venom with a bit of caramel into the melody You blow my mind Call it JF Kennedy Energetic We outrun death Live the fastest Spill my thoughts on your lap Jackie Onassis Now I see life thru bright color glasses Can I kick it like a Centipede? Deadly venom assassin You could be my centerfold? I'm just asking Can I take a sip? I see the cool water in your eyes And I want to take a Dip Let me refresh The fountain of youth And I found it in your hips I'm just asking Can I take a sip? I see the cool ocean in your eyes And I want to take a Ship You so fresh The fountain of life And I found it on your lips You're like a cool sip of h2o Every other girl is way too cold Theyre so toxic When you mean mug Call it hot chocolate Box it Wrap it up within a ribbon Top it With the sky as the limit Fly with no Cockpit Doesnt really matter cuz I'm vibing with your rhythm It got me seeing red Like every moment was an Optic Blast Thru the wall Cut to the end of me I'm not the enemy I had to love Like there was at least ten of me I'm just a tenant for your benefit Addicted to your melanin It's heavenly Living in that New York City sentiment Sick of these bland cake cats They Entenmanns. Either way I've gotten fat And I'm better than Settling for less than that Is just so irrelevant Let me ask you Can I take a sip? I see the cool water in your eyes And I want to take a Dip Let me refresh The fountain of youth And I found it in your hips I'm just asking Can I take a sip? I see the cool ocean in your eyes And I want to take a Ship You so fresh The fountain of life And I found it on your lips Me? I'm like a big drink of fructose Sweet innovations like my fam up in New Ro Inspiration is the syrup that we use though Taste like the Milky Way But don't mess with Pluto Take a bite Take a second for the road There's so much to go around I got so much Soul Kick it old school Voice on the vinyl Cut it up with Pro tools Literally with a knife You know it's all I got You’re a dream within a dream And I’m a spinning top Never stop You make me want to reach the end of infinity And untie the knot Pour me in a glass And just take a shot I’ll go down smoother than tequila on the rocks We can go to the far end Maybe bartend Partake in your spirit Only can we Start then? I’m just asking Can I take a sip? I see the cool water in your eyes And I want to take a Dip Let me refresh The fountain of youth And I found it in your hips I'm just asking Can I take a sip? I see the cool ocean in your eyes And I want to take a Ship You so fresh The fountain of life And I found it on your lips I’m just asking Can I take a sip? Let me refresh I'm just asking Can I take a sip? You so fresh

(Izzy) I apologize to the day When the sun sets into me I be the sea of regret If love isn't a feeling without it I feel fine She threw away the clock She's got no more time I got nothing to say like a silent renegade With my double edge word let me say it in blades Let me be the slice, the cut in your thick skin Lady I’m the knife serrated, we this thin I’m living in the space between your eyelids We slash your iris We blind to lightness We lost in lightning Eyo It’s never enough In the studio never tired wire my eyes open on Clever like Johnny Five and Monty Python Hi Strung, energetic, forgettable I regret this Never telling you the opposite Direct miss, yo, direct miss (D Hype) Ever since I knew it and I gave it away It’s been a little harder trusting these girls and my focus been on better days, I apologize if my apolog-ay, Seemed a little distant, my heart is stuck in icy ways, I would love to experience that kind of day You share with a dame, making up some silly names, I want the picture and the frame, Sharing stupid stories that nobody ever want to hear cuz they were lame But of course after sunny skies came the rain Forecast partly cloudy with a chance of pain I can feel it in my bones, My joints getting tighter cramping up over the pheromones Hearts divided the things that these strings do To stay connected to these feelings we cling to Looped like diamond rings your soul is the cost Ask for directions, they laugh and they told me I’m lost (Izzy) Take a memory that we can see opened up Every conversation we had ever since I said What’s up? How you? We chilling? Maybe get a ticket to the next You and your ex playing regret in the multiplex Telling you I was your only, lonely we could never be apart Perhaps the lapse in action start to pull the Filament holding in All the blood that’s rushing into my heart Too late Now I run circles like easy Mario kart I see through stereo blots That way I still got the hots For more than one lover you said no one’s above me Future endeavors I’d better leave before I put Trust in you is like waiting for acid to rust slowly I know we ended falling from the sky Bitterly, we could never be Into the clouds so high We fall As if we never learned to fly true You need to know that I don’t ever really need you (D Hype) Can’t help but think you’ve been in my head Exploring my subconscious tangled up in my web The threads tacked to your hand held Are pushing my buttons, a glutton feenin for results hoping that we land Well… Maybe if we just stay weaved up, The comfort that it brings won’t necessarily leave us Hanging ourselves, laying in limbo Caught up, Victim to a psychological nympho For reasons way beyond my understanding Libido got my mojo at attention regardless of the tension And since you got me stressing, I gotta go ape wild, Primal urges on a rampage arcade style Fishing for some quarters cuz I thought I’d stay a while but Chanel no 5 had me drowning in denial So clearly you villain your motives are vial I checkmates now, I’m boxing I’m out… (Izzy) I don’t want to settle I want a city bitty she be looking like Christina Hendricks And If you find the bodice a goddess of fury kicks On Facebook or Twitter me And pls snd pix Maybe we Digg this Can we play a little DoTA We can hold in my pagoda Maybe play Starcraft two Let me take another line I would put another rhyme Used to pressing start to continue If life is a girl then I abuse her I’ll say one thing and live another to confuse her That’s what you did, and now we’re done Roller coaster ride love and it wasn’t fun My shadow hides from you, had enough of sun Take another bullet Cock and pull it Now without a gun Point of no return, you make me want to run Yo, you make me want to run (D Hype) Should’ve seen it all coming Guess I took the wrong fork in the road She looked stunning had my steering veering out of control But it was never in my hands though my palms foretold That I would have to let it loose if it was worth it to hold Mind you Ms. Fortune was a ghost, an elaborate hoax Meant to throw me off track from my senses Love had me blind that’s a loss of defenses Up in the clouds, now I’m down in the trenches love struck Battling my heart against my wits And it hurt but I promised her I’d never call it quits A man of his word fell victim to her lips Pinned between an oath and a kiss Can’t make moves if your heart rate ain’t got the right mind Couldn’t breathe a word so instead I had to write mine My last words believe in the signs As I plunge and take a peek into the leak that is my love line…

Lyrics to go: As Long As You Love Me Remix If I didn’t have you Would I rather die? This had to be handled in sanity And I’d rather not My love is too wide To stand in Front of the bullet You cock it and pull it Aim it at my heart And then decide Is this really love? Or is it pride? Didn’t want be another body counted to your fold Would have gotten every automatic magazine and had them Taken apart in the way that I could’ve been covered in metal and platinum, gold See I’ve been everywhere to know that everything will go As long As the love That you have I would know To put the pin back before the heart explodes Blaze every path Ignite the road I’m carrying the scars of the last battle Hand to hand combat She my posttraumatic episode So where have you been all my life I’m indebted to you cuz you’re loving me, right? As long as you love me We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke As long as you love me I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold As long as you love, love, love, love me As long as you love, love, love, love me I've been everywhere, man Looking for someone Someone who can please me Love me all night long I've been everywhere, man Looking for you babe Searching for you babe Where have you been Cause I never see you out Are you hiding from me, yeah? Somewhere in the crowd As long as you love me We're under pressure, Seven billion people in the world trying to fit in Keep it together, Smile on your face even though your heart is frowning (frowning) But hey now (hey now), you know, boy (know boy), We both know it's a cruel world But I will take my chances Where have you been All my life? All my life? Where have you been all my life? Where have you been all my life? Where have you been all my life? Where have you been all my life?

How long have you been gone? It’s like I never knew The thought behind your eyes. For every word you said Like how I was your one It’s all been like a lie So now I’ve come To find that this is like a dream And now you’re gone And nothing’s ever like it seems What is the truth What is the lie Don’t want to love Don’t want to fight Is it alright? Can I live my life? Couldn’t be the only one holding onto something to believe in I’m falling deeper and deeper until I’m cut and bleeding So now you’re leaving And I’ve got nothing Til I decide I Can trust in something What do I do? Why can’t I see? (Oh, Oh) Between the real And fantasy? (Oh, Oh) Am I the only one losing my sense of sanity? Can you Be true to me Into sheets of nothingness I knew I could never guess Each step forward’s two steps back And I’m falling We hold hands to reminisce The time before we never kissed This still feels like we’re amiss And I’m falling So now I’ve come To find that this is like a dream And now you’re gone And nothing’s ever like it seems What is the truth What is the lie Don’t want to love Don’t want to fight Is it alright? Can I live my life? Couldn’t be the only one holding onto something to believe in I’m falling deeper and deeper until I’m cut and bleeding So now you’re leaving And I’ve got nothing Til I decide I Can trust in something What do I do? Why can’t I see? (Oh, Oh) Between the real And fantasy? (Oh, Oh) Am I the only one losing my sense of sanity? Can you Be true to me We’re caught up, and standing in, these tangled webs we weave At first I thought I saw, some good in you, that you'd be good to me We spent time to spin this web, now I caught you in your lies And I failed to see the truth, looked me deep with your two eyes Why'd you lead me off this cliff? watched me fall into abyss… As I drown within my thoughts, in my heart its you I miss… man im deep beneath the surface and i'm running out of air when i'm dead and gone i wonder - if anyone truly cares i've had my heart in pieces, in a corner bleeding, this is a modern thesis, and im mourning deeply know im worth it, for sure im certain, but still you chose... to disrespect me had it with your bullshit, and you've only held me down i can be a king, without a queen, you don't deserve the crown ye-ye-ye-yes, i stayed true to you, but you weren't true to me i believed your lies, it hurt me - more than heavy artillery de-de-deep beneath my chest, hearts pounding like i'm scaling up a mountain now im headed for the stars, place me right next to orion Couldn’t be the only one holding onto something to believe in I’m falling deeper and deeper until I’m cut and bleeding So now you’re leaving And I’ve got nothing Til I decide I Can trust in something What do I do? Why can’t I see? (Oh, Oh) Between the real And fantasy? (Oh, Oh) Am I the only one losing my sense of sanity? Can you Be true to me

Lyrics to go: Love me for me Love you for you And everything you say And everything I do Is love I'm not another wack cat That lack the respect To run the race track and act like I’d even expect To kiss that soft spot on the back of your neck You're like the Charizard card I had to collect put the heart into the track Giving my head heat Life in the boom bap I am not a dead beat Said We could be a moment Unfolded Into the morning I noticed That everything around me Doesn't even hold it In comparison Even the blind can See you look You're a sexy librarian So can I read your books? I was hoping to open the part where you design the magnum opus and started to have and hold us Don't take too long with the makeup and shoes I fell in love with the way your eyes Tell me the truth Even outside of the booth I will love you for you Love me for me Love you for you And everything you say Is everything I’ll do To every lady evaded throughout the eighties I wasn't even three so I'm spittin game belated I'd love to get to know ya if you aren't really dating Just want to see you smile Nothing so innovative I've been around the world to know that you are what I’m looking for You’re the last drink in the summer at the corner store You’re my favorite pair of jordans when I go on tour Tell them how you saved me Be your witness Going door to door Hi, Do you have a second or a minute? I’m used to sort of living like there wasn’t purpose in it I’d sip on purple syrup Take a spin onto my ceiling I never could figure the way to be Not satisfied with chilling I want to be a building But all I am is bricks So let me be your stone Cuz you need more than sticks We can architect a tower Connect it within an hour And then when the hour pass We can take another glass And toast Love me for me Love you for you And everything you say Is everything I’ll do I’ll do it all And everything I do Is love

City Nights 04:30
Big Apple. 3AM. Cruising through the city In a faded roys Billie Jean Michael Jay Call it Eighties noise She asking for the song I’m the lady’s choice Don’t use the hand This ain’t a baby’s toy Write with the mind Speak with the heart Hold up, Let’s restart I’ll spit that sixteen slow If I be the king This where the queens go It’ll be in the heat of the best Everything I see In the LES Create a world of fiction As vibrant as my addiction Stars in the sky I learned to fly there And when they fall down My high is Times squared Don't get blinded by the people Beneath it we all be see-thru Indeed we could all be equal But we focus on the different And This is how we move the east coast We walk on broken backs just to seize throats Help me turn the Hudson River into wine if you been stepped on before Ill deliver you the spine City nights Can't nothing hold us down We bout that life City lights Ain't nothing bright as us We own the night 718 212 When opportunity is calling me I’m calling you This is how we scrape the sky Everyone is on the roof However even the tallest tower can be falling too The bigger the pride the higher the weight When they occupied the streets Who won the entire debate? I’m tired of hate But all these east coast rappers Just want to spit flame I need to find my own fire escape So just Give me a pad and a plume, go Get me a blue boat Leave me on Pluto Youtube a new flow I’ll do what you don’t Never been the one to have to stop Got to keep up Never backing down Gotta make my own parents proud Gotta show this whole town This Filipino couldn’t be any hotter Than Philippine hurricane wind Don’t know how to slow down So when the storm moves Learn to slow dance These streets got too many fingers not to Hold hands City nights Can't nothing hold us down We bout that life City lights Ain't nothing bright as us We own the night Just lost my job Don’t want to lose my mind Follow my heart And in due time Ill never have to be On this unemployment line One sound one mic Soon they want to sign So I’m gaining tracks But I’m losing time Gotta face the facts Is this really mine? Can I take the punches Hit it to the body Bob and weave Be the one to start this Odyssey I got it Honestly So don't hesitate Every little moment gotta celebrate Gotta follow thru like every day set the date Watch me fight this heavy weight But it's Light as a feather Hit hard like NY weather Beyond that we be better off Instead of we getting soft Elevate to the High class I'm learning to open hearts With hard beats Triple bypass If they ask for the moon I fly past The city don't sleep But I'm a close my eyes last City nights Can nothing hold us down We ‘bout that life City lights Ain’t nothing bright as us We own the night
10.
I got my eyes on you You're everything that I see I want your high loving emotion Endlessly I can't get over you You left your mark on me I want your high loving emotion endlessly Cuz you're a good girl and you know it (you know it) You act so different around me Cuz you're a good girl and you know it (you know it) I know exactly who you could be Just hold on we're going home Just hold on we're going home It's hard to do these things alone Just hold on we're going home For the last two years I've been held down like Gravity would rather be The type of thing that wouldn’t let me feel the sky But now that I am separated from the weight I’m weight less Nobody thinks twice That I learned to fly A new 9-5 A new type of mind Spend the night Rewriting my passion And never pass it by My last girl was the last cage That I had aflame But I burn bars Since I heard your last name If you are the queen question I am asking Can we hold on? Even if we love it in the fast lane No fingers on the wheel It’s effortless in handling Every time I want to speak a planet You go and manage To build a galaxy in your last word Sunset in your predicate With a fast noun We crash verbs And when you can sing Your song is what I want to hear as my last thing Just hold on we're going home Just hold on we're going home It's hard to do these things alone Just hold on we're going home You’re the girl You’re the one Give you every Thing I love I think there’s something Baby I think there’s something Baby You’re the girl You’re the one Give you every Thing I love I think there’s something Baby I think there’s something Baby Cuz you're a good girl and you know it (you know it) You act so different around me Cuz you're a good girl and you know it (you know it) I know exactly who you could be Just hold on we're going home Just hold on we're going home It's hard to do these things alone Just hold on we're going home
