Intro
There was one thing, unknown, holdin’ me back
From gettin’ into my zone, more than this track
Nothin’s ever felt more right than this, this is my peace/piece, this is my bliss.
I’m good on my own

Higher
Backtrack, takin’ me back
To the way that things used to be, what we used to have
Been too long, thought we were long gone,
Like the road we were headed down was wrong all along
And maybe, we aren’t too late, and we’re still making our way past all these tests and mistakes
Why can’t everyday be like this?
So that when we reminisce, there won’t be so much to miss
Your eyes on my eyes reveal, the way you’re makin’ me feel, as if what we got is real
You’re takin’ me higher, you’re takin’ me higher
So far from the ground, there’s no way I’m coming back down, back down (x2)
Back down, back down
My mind, makin’ up lies,
Caught up in memories existing from time,
Feels so right, these temporary highs, forgetting our differences, our contrary lives
Baby, we’re not who we were, our love ain’t the same, that’s why it just wouldn’t work
So for now, forget all the doubts, just stay with me here, I’ll keep these thoughts to myself
Your eyes on my eyes reveal, the way you’re makin’ me feel, as if what we got is real
You’re takin’ me higher, you’re takin’ me higher
So far from the ground, there’s no way I’m coming back down, back down (x2)
Back down, back down
(back down, back down, back down)
I know, this is just for the moment, you know, I know it
You know, we were meant to stay broken, you know, I know it
You’re takin’ me higher, you’re takin’ me higher
So far from the ground, there’s no way I’m coming back down, back down (x2)
Back down, back down
(Ain’t no way, im comin’ back down)

All I Got
Not sittin’ at home bein’ bothered, or worried ‘bout you runnin’ off with someone new
Told you I’d keep it one hundred
Believe me, trust me when I say that
Baby I got you
What they say, who cares? We’re doin’ alright
Pavin’ our own way whatever feels right,
As long as it’s us by the end of the night
You’re in my thoughts, you’re in my heart
You’re all I got
(We’re all we gotta be)
All I got
(That’s it, just you and me)
All I got
(You know, you’re all I see)
Always got you
You’re all I got
And I got you babe,
All I got
Said I got you babe,
All I got
Said I got you babe,
Always got you
Best friends, more than lovers
I’m freely fallin’, can’t imagine bein’ without you
Take every challenge as blessing
We baby-stepping, trekkin’ to a ‘better me and you’
What they say, who cares, we’re doin’ alright
Pavin’ our own way whatever feels right,
As long as it’s us by the end of the night
You’re in my thoughts, you’re in my heart
You’re all I got
(We’re all we gotta be)
All I got
(That’s it, just you and me)
All I got
(You know, you’re all I see)
Always got you
You’re all I got
And I got you babe,
All I got
Said I got you babe,
All I got
Said I got you babe,
Always got you
I’m rockin’ with you,
I ain’t scared with you,
I’ll cater 2 u,
I’m with you (x4)

Walls
Hey, let’s just move on
C’mon, it’s over
Wait, hold on-I’m wrong, not goin’ nowhere,
How many times are we gonna have to go over this again? Oooh
Push out, give in,
Come back, release, gotta get out now
You’re out, you’re in, I’m so sick, we’ll figure this out, how?
I’m stuck again, walls closin’ in
How did we end up? Must have really messed up, sing it again (x2)
His hand was out like a handshake,
I swear my body just turned in, resist
His lips promised good temperament, no blow
Push out, give in,
Come back, release, gotta get out now
You’re out, you’re in, I’m so sick, we’ll figure this out, how?
I’m stuck again, walls closin’ in
How did we end up? Must have really messed up, sing it again (x2)
Sing it again (x2)
And I was tempted in, just take one,
Take one hit, take just one
One hit, one hit (x2)

4am ft. Louis Cza
(Nica)
4 in the mornin’, tryna sleep but I cant get none, I can’t get none (x4)
You’re late, so late
Keep me waitin’ all day
All work, no play,
How you expect me to stay?
You know I’m gonna say,
I know what you’ll put to blame
“Talk bout this another day,
4am, it’s way too late”
4 in the mornin’, tryna sleep but I cant get none, I can’t get none (x4)
(Louis Cza)
Watch what I do with a mic and a switch
Appreciate the lanes, definitely gon’ switch
Got the mind of a three headed dragon in a cypher,
With the lyrics of a tiger, I compare ya to a spider
Illest of the villains, better grab your penicillin,
Your daughter love my videos, better grab your television
Raging war on your village grab you mothers and they children
Came with all my homies blowing Ls and we chillin’
Had a dream my character was judged by my intellect
While my generation act a fool on the internet,
Deeper than some sounds generated by some whales
When my track drops we definitely gonna make a couple of sales
Got the life of a Rastafari, who eyes feelin’ irie
But check it, la di da di, we like to party
Makin women wetter than an ocean, I’m just being frank with you,
Nah girl I ain’t heading to a bank with ya
(Nica)
4 in the mornin’, tryna sleep but I cant get none,
(Louis Cza & Nica)
I can’t get none (x4)
(Louis Cza)
Can’t get none, can’t get none, uh
(Nica)
Doo doo doo doo doo (x99999)
Ain’t No Life
Up to nothin’, lookin’ for somethin’,
Outside the confines of his bed
Know I’m bluffin’, know I’m frontin
Just somewhere he can lay his head
But where do I lay mine?
When these tearful eyes are dry
Empty heart, empty lies
You’re holdin’ on to me so tight,
But if I stay I know,
There ain’t no life with you, baby
Just don’t feel right with you, baby
I can’t go on bein’ your lady
Cause there ain’t no life with you
You know it’s true, ooh
“Why don’t you cuff him?”
They don’t know nothin’
Foolin’ nobody, but myself
Just sleep on it,
Can’t deal with this sh-
Head needs to rest once this day ends
But where do I lay mine?
When these tearful eyes are dry
Empty heart, empty lies
You’re holdin’ on to me so tight,
But if I stay I know,
There aint no life with you, baby
Just don’t feel right with you, baby
I can’t go on bein’ your lady
Cause there ain’t no life with you
Can’t fight for you,
Not right for you,
Our time is through
Ooh I can’t go on, stringing along
Step inside of my shoes, we’re doin this wrong
Time to move on, we’re doin it wrong
But where do I lay mine?
When these tearful eyes are dry
Empty heart, empty lies
You’re holdin’ on to me so tight,
But if I stay I know,
There aint no life with you, baby
Just don’t feel right with you, baby
I can’t go on bein’ your lady
Cause there ain’t no life with you
Can’t fight for you,
Not right for you,
There aint no life with you, baby
(There ain’t no life)
Just don’t feel right with you, baby
(Just don’t feel right)
I can’t go on bein’ your lady
Cause there ain’t no life with you
Can’t fight for you,
Not right for you,
Our time is through

I been stressin’
You been messin’
With that girl, the GPS, left the address in
You ask me, “What you be callin’ me out for?”
I know you wanna go with her
All my callin’
You’ve been dodgin’
But that’s on me, guess I shoulda seen it comin’
My girls ask me what I’m wastin’ my time for, knowin’ well that I deserve more
Now I know, the temporary
I’m a fool for thinking you were somethin’
Know you’re just not right for me (Right for me)
Know I’m just not right for you (Right for you) (x2)
Playin’, datin’, fakin’, takin’
But it’s really just himself that he’s escapin’
Listen up babe whatchu gotta use me for
Ain’t gotta stoop down to that level
Shoulda listened, when they were dissin’
Warnin’ me about your past, the things you did and-
I saw the better, didn’t wanna give you up,
Everbody’s got their fuck-ups
Now I know, the temporary
I’m a fool for thinking you were somethin’
Know you’re just not right for me (Right for me)
Know I’m just not right for you (Right for you) (x2)
Know all you brothers been hurt before when you’ve searched for more
Know all you ladies been burnt before when you’ve given more, ooh
But you gotta keep on runnin’
It’s okay, we can’t change nothin’
It’s just too bad it had to happen like this
Know you’re just not right for me (Right for me)
Know I’m just not right for you (Right for you) (x2)

Daydreamin’ ft. Lyrique
(Nica)
Oo, mm
I got you in my room,
Really got you in my room,
My safe zone, don’t intrude
This ain’t what I usually do
Lettin’ you in, this is new and-
I’m actin’ like you got my heart, like you’re my man
Hold up, don’t let that stop what you’re doin’
For us, you know, baby it ain’t like that
(Lyrique) like that
It aint like that
(Lyrique) Like that
Cause you’re like that
So no getting caught up in the moment,
Thinkin’ too much, this is too rushed,
Shoulda let myself get caught up in the moment
(Nica and Lyrique)
I get, so close to you, I cant stop
Woah, thinking bout, thinkin’ bout you (x2)
(Lyrique)
Look, it’s been a while, and I ain’t gon’ lie to you
Close my eyes, deep breaths, still my mind’s on you
(Nica and Lyrique)
I know and you know, we both play hard,
Workin’ time, still I’m thinking ‘bout that part
Huh, and this is comin’ from the heart
You, you and I both understand that what we got is hard
Ok
(Nica) Ok
See the situation changed, rearranged all the promises, and nothin’ was the same
Best believe, I really want this shit, but I don’t have control
And you know you got my heart and shit, for now I gotta go
(Nica and Lyrique)
All the skepticism games, trust issues, it’s insane
Like you really pushin’ buttons, I’ll be forced to switch my lane, now
My kryptonite is Lois Lane
And no matter all the drama shit, I love you just the same
(Nica and Lyrique)
So just know, I’m not letting go
(Nica)
Daydreamin’, no sleepin, tell me babe what are you up to this weekend?
(Lyrique) Tell me babe what are you up to this weekend?
(Nica) This weekend
(Nica and Lyrique) This weekend
(Lyrique) Not workin’, not lurkin’
Just believe you still got all my feelings
No jokin’, not at all
Put in work just to give you my all
(Nica) Give you my all, don’t break my heart
(Lyrique) I promise I won’t, but I hope you just fall
(Nica) Know that I gotchu, I swear no withdrawals
(Lyrique) No ring to commit, trust that my word is bond
(Nica and Lyrique) Daydreamin’, no sleepin, tell me babe what are you up to this weekend?
(Lyrique) Hopin’ that I get to see you this weekend
(Nica) Do I really get to see you this weekend?
(Nica and Lyrique)
I get, so close to you, I cant stop
Woah, thinking bout, thinkin’ bout you (x2)
(Lyrique)
Daydreamin’, what am I feelin’?
Is this just me or am I still just sleepin’?
Try to wake up just to see you this weekend
Never for ends, all I want’s our beginning
Hopin’ and praying that you get to falling down
(Nica and Lyrique) down
(Nica) Down, down
(Nica and Lyrique) Daydreamin’, no sleepin
(Nica) Tell me babe what are you up to this weekend?
(Lyrique) Tell me babe what are you up to this weekend?
(Nica) This weekend
(Nica and Lyrique) This weekend
(Nica and Lyrique) Daydreamin’, no sleepin,
(Nica) Tell me babe what are you up to this weekend?
(Lyrique) Hopin’ that I get to see you this weekend
(Nica) Do I really get to see you this weekend?

(Nica and Lyrique)
You know you got me throwed,
On me, that body, oh
And passion’s all we on,
Let’s make this love, our own

Salma said what ya waitin’ for? Gotta take control
Mo told me be careful though, ‘cause you never know
Stephanie let me tell her more, ‘cause she knows I know
And I know, I know

Inna knows I don’t got control, she said let it go
Nic got some two cents of her own, take it for the road
Mel don’t wanna hear no more, so she out the door
And I’m on my own
Uh huh, and so here it goes
Playa, playa
That’s what they all sayin’
Waitin’, for him to drop his ball game
Keep my guard up, I should
Stayin’ for the good I see
And blame it all on the hood reputation he’s gotta keep
He must be misunderstood, right?
He’s goin’ through a phase, he’s-
He’s keepin’ up a face, he’s-
He’s got my senses hazy,
Stuck in this limbo lately,
Feel like I’m goin’ crazy,
Can I make you my baby? Maybe
Cause when I’m textin’ you, I’m textin’ you, you’re on it
And when I’m next to you, right next to you, you want it
Between me and you, this ain’t no news,
I’ll tell the truth, I’m into you
This ain’t somethin’ I dealt with, and ain’t somethin’ I felt
You’re not the same as anybody else
And the truth is, I want you to myself
You’re not the same as anybody else
Do your thing, no one’s got that same thing
I feel a way with you
What’s on my mind? It’s you
Won’t play no games on you
Boy you got me shook
Salma said what ya waitin’ for? Gotta take control
Mo told me be careful though, ‘cause you never know
Stephanie let me tell her more, ‘cause she knows I know
And I know, I know
Uh huh, and so here it goes
What’s goin on? I gotta face it
You’re showin’ maybe I’m bein’ played, yeah
Real talk, am I just your entertainment?
Ain’t gonna entertain it
But how do I escape it?
You make it hard to hate ya,
That smile, that laugh’s contagious
J passion, lemonade, yeah
Be real, cause I ain’t fakin’
Still got my senses hazy,
Still in this limbo lately,
Straight up I’m goin’ crazy, maybe
Cause when I’m textin’ you, I’m textin’ you, you’re on it
And when I’m next to you, right next to you, you want it
Between me and you, this ain’t no news,
I’ll tell the truth, I’m into you
This ain’t somethin’ I dealt with, and ain’t somethin’ I felt
You’re not the same as anybody else
And the truth is, I want you to myself
You’re not the same as anybody else
Do your thing, no one’s got that same thing
I feel a way with you
What’s on my mind? It’s you
Won’t play no games on you
Boy you got me shook

Used to waitin’ all day,
Days on days you got me
Feelin’ like a song on replay,
‘Cause I know you won’t stop me
You like the attention
Wanna be in my mentions
Tell me your true intentions
Then maybe I can make an exception
Tell me what you wanna do,
Don’t gotta play no rules,
You can be my somethin’ new,
Just, just tell me
Tell me what you have in mind,
Baby, let’s stop wastin’ time,
So we can get straight into tryin’
Oh, oh
Do what you do
Baby, I’ll make sure to do what I do
Make you feel good,
Make it real good
Oh, oh, do what you do
Ooh
Thinkin’ bout you on my breaks,
And about the different ways,
How ‘bout, where it could take place?
And what about the taste?
And my thighs on your waist,
Sensation, temptation, hesitation, hearts racin’
Ok
Gettin’ ahead of myself
I’ll admit that I’m feelin’ myself, yeah
Selfish, ‘cause this is all you want,
Makin’ me want what you want,
Somethin’ about this feels so wrong
Don’t wanna be lead on, be honest
‘Cause if this is it,
Then I’m down for it, I can handle it, make time for it, play around with it
Do what you do
Baby, I’ll make sure to do what I do
Make you feel good,
Make it real good
Oh, oh, do what you do (x2)
Ooh

Outro
How do we a purposeful life?
How do we create freedom?
Only music has remained throughout my pursuit of purpose, fulfillment, and freedom
Otherwise the answer is constantly evolving and unpredictable, just as we are
What I do know is,
When we don’t face the demons of our minds, they crawl back into our lives time and time again
So we either face them, or let them take control
But what does it even mean to face a fear?
Is it ever that clear?
And when it is,
Trial and error only conclude that trial and error is the conclusion
That we have created this notion of “penultimatums” and solutions for everything that exists
But life, is a complex learning process
And what’s beyond it?
Who truly knows?
I don’t think we’re meant to.
At 22.
Love to everyone who has not only supported and been a part of this project but also inspired me when writing it.
Whether you know it or not, thank you
