Rep to Protect
02:54
|
|||
Well, I’m sorry that I kept you waiting
Seems like I’m always running late
Just as I’m getting reinstated
I’m on my way back out the gate
And I’d love to sit and chat about all the times
I’ve let you down, but now I’m all done with that
Chewing fat won't fill you up no matter that
You might like how it taste
You’d have better luck counting bricks
Than trying to teach this old dog new tricks
Cos I ain't listening anyway...
I gotta rep to protect
It makes me wonder why you waste your time
Trying to keep an eye on me
I’m red-handed at the scene of the crime
I’m still gonna plea “not guilty”
Cos here’s the thing, and please don’t take it to heart
I ain't together unless I’m falling apart
It’s too easy unless you get a head start
So get ready, set, go!
Turn up the heat and try and make me sweat
Well, I ain't found anyone that could beat me, yet
Not even on my worst day...
I gotta rep to protect
You’d have better luck counting bricks
Than trying to teach this old dog new tricks
Cos I ain't listening anyway...
I gotta rep to protect
And I ain't let it down yet

You've Created a Monster
01:50

You’ve created a monster...
He’s 4’8’’, holding state in my fucking living room.
The only way to clean the slate is with a pharmaceutical broom.
He used to bounce off the walls,
Now I’m lucky if he crawls.
He’s sleeping his life away.
What a fucking nightmare...
I can’t believe I came to you, thinking you would give a shit.
X-rays, co-pays, followed by follow up visits.
To see you scratch your head,
And mix cocktails of meds.

He's sleeping his life away.
You’ve created a monster...
Now he’s off to the races,
Watch as he paces across the room with his imaginary friends.
I wonder what he sees in them, I wonder what they see in him.
I never thought I’d be,
The proud parent of a case study.
He’s sleeping his life away...
You've created a monster

Lover's Leap
03:33

Baby wake up, you're gonna miss the best part.
Don't forget to buckle up, the road is getting dark.
Nobody knows your with me, wouldn't matter if they did.
You're a butterfly in a jar with no holes in the lid.
Follow the blood stains down memory lane and ride with me.
Ride with me to lovers leap.
Ride with me, ride with me to lovers leap.
Where the rocks are sharp but the waters deep,
and if we time it just right, hit the wave when they peak.
Underneath the moonlight swim down to the beach where
the waves will wash the blood away.
I can't believe we're so close to the end.
The nightmare is over we can start over again.
I'll help you find the thing you didn't know that you had lost.
Look down at the street there's only one bridge left to cross.
You can scream and shout but there's just one way out.
So Ride with me, ride with me to lovers leap.
Ride with me, ride with me to lovers leap.

Where the rocks are sharp but the waters deep,
and if we time it just right, hit the wave when they peak.
Underneath the moonlight swim down to the beach where
the waves will wash the blood away.
Promises are sacred like a dead man's autograph: you
really shouldn't make them if you can't hold up your half.
There's such a fine line between flying and falling.
Listen to the sirens down below: they keep calling our names.
Can you hear them moan?
Let the sticks and stones break our bones!
Ride with me to lovers leap
Die with me.
Fly with me to lovers leap.
Where the rocks are sharp but the waters deep and if
we time it just, hit the wave when they peak.
Underneath the moonlight swim down to the beach where the waves...

Ill-gotten Gains
02:47
|
|||
Hello there, friend. How the fuck have you been?
I know that it’s been a long while.
My soul still aint sold, even though it’s worth gold,
Cos’ I’m holding out for a pile.
Every time you meet me, you always greet me,
With a smile behind grit teeth.
But, man, I aint fooled. I know the pot is coo,l
But the stove’s still hot beneath.
So go ahead and do what you gotta do.
That’s 3 for me, and none for you.
On my behalf, you’d do the math the same...
But you’ll never get rich from your ill-gotten gains.
I wish I knew who I was talking to,
But with you, I don't know who to smack.
If the roles were reversed, which face would you slap first?
I bet the one that won’t hit you back.
The view is nice from my high horse, and I won’t sail a course,
Set by a mutineer.
Because as quick as you came, you’ll be gone just the same,
Just like you were never here...
So go ahead and do what you gotta do.
That’s 3 for me, and none for you.
On my behalf, you’d do the math the same...
But you’ll never get rich from your ill-gotten gains.

Sunsets and Corvettes
03:26
|

Winter's creeping up so fast, be here before you know it.
I got a box filled with your things, I guess that I should throw it away.
Like you did to me, three years ago today.
Headed south to hunt for treasures where they lay.
Isn't it just like you always wanted?
Picture perfect beaches with your mansion spread across them.
Sunsets and corvettes, so many lovers, you forget.
Isn't it just like you've always wanted?
The bell has tolled, the wind blows cold, the last train out is leaving.
Like a scarecrow with no sparrow, my head bows as its speeding away.
I'd lay chase if I could, but there's a price that i must pay.
I'm nailed to this cross for good, at least until Judgement Day.
Isn't it just like you always wanted?
Picture perfect beaches with your mansion spread across them.
Sunsets and corvettes, so many lovers, you forget.
Isn't it just like you've always wanted?

Stumble (Intermission)

I was sitting on the couch drinking whiskeys and water
Bragging ‘bout how I fucked somebody’s daughter
I said, “hey, Mean, let’s snap another line.”
Heard the phone ring, fuck, look at the the time
Cos’ time flies when you’re having fun
I wish I was having some
Looks like I’m not the only one...
7:30... here comes the sun...
Time flies when you’re having fun
I woke up late for work, nearly missed my alarm
So I took a little trip trip to the Cumberland Farms
Took my eyes off the road and nearly got into a wreck
Ran into a friend on his way to connect...
Singin, “time flies when you’re having fun
I wish I was having some
Looks like I’m not the only one...
7:30 and I’m cleaning my gun
Time flies when you’re having fun.”
Holed up in a hotel room, down in Farmington
Russian Roulette, Cowboys and Indians
I thought it’d be different this time but it wasn't
Now I’m feeling on my head for a reset button...
Thinkin, “time flies when you’re having fun
I wish I was having some
Looks like I’m not the only one...
7:30... what the fuck have I done?
Time flies when you’re having fun
I said time flies when you’re fun
Let me know when we start having fun

Make Sure You're Sure
03:49
|

You said to me you wanna leave the life you know behind
But before you make a big mistake, girl, put your hand in mine
My conscience knows I must disclose down where you're being led
And whatever road you choose, I’m already three steps ahead
If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
There won't be time to think if you stop to think twice
But, baby, you don't need my advice...
Just make sure you’re sure
Once we’ve left, don't hold your breath of ever coming home
Wrong or right, or out of spite, to them, you’re on your own
We don't need rings, just grab your things and throw ‘em in a sack
But make sure thats what you want, ‘cos from here, we can’t come back
If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
There won't be time to think if you stop to think twice
But, baby, you don't need my advice...
Just make sure you’re sure
The odds are high, the chances slim, but at least you know the stakes
If second thoughts are creeping in, then you ain't got what it takes
The cracks in your constitution are starting to show
If the gin in wearing thin, it’s no skin off my nose...
If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
Ya’ know, from where I’m standing, you ain't got nothing to lose
Then again, I ain't standing in your shoes...
Now make sure you’re sure
You better make sure you’re sure...

It’s the way you look at me when we pass by in the hall
And sometimes when we touch, I don't think we touch at all
I’ll be the one that stays when the others, they’ve all gone away
I will always be your slave
I feel the distance grow each time I draw you near
And I watch as you tear down everything I hold dear
I took these vows with you to love you from here to the grave
I will always be your slave
Even when you deny me to your family and friends...
I never ask you where you’re going
I never ask where the fuck have you been?
Darlin’, now I see something in your eyes I don’t wanna see
It’s the way you look at me when we pass by in the hall
And sometimes when we fuck, I don't think we fuck at all
I’ll be the one that stays when the others, they’ve all gone away
I will always be your slave

Every Second Counts
02:55
|
|||
I try not to watch the clock
Cos its running on borrowed time
And the way you make my heart stop
When you tell me that you're only mine
Try to hold the minutes in my hand
Don't let em slip away
Girl there ain't enough hours in the day
Cos every second counts
Every stolen smile
Every fleeting touch
Makes it worth my while
And I'm willing to pay
No matter what the amount
Cos when it comes to you (when it comes to you)
Every second counts
When it comes to you
Every second counts
Even tho its been years
Every days as fresh as yesterday
And through all the smiles and tears
Baby, right here is where i wanna stay
Hard times come and go
And no one knows what tomorrow brings
But i'm sticking with you till the bell rings
Cos every seconds counts
Every stolen smile
Every fleeting touch
Makes it worth my while
And I'm willing to pay, yeah
No matter what the amount
Cos when it comes to you
Every second counts
When it comes to you
Every second counts
Cos every seconds counts
Every stolen smile
Every fleeting touch
Makes it worth my while
And I'm willing to pay, yeah
No matter what the amount
Cos when it comes to you (when it comes to you)
Every second counts
When it comes to you
Every second counts

G.E.D. Sweethearts
03:22
|

The first time I ever saw her on the steps of the alternative school
Pitching quarters with the black girls
Yeah, I knew she was nobody's fool
Popping her gum as loud as a pistol
As she raked in all of her dough
I swear to God I knew it right then
And to this day, I still know...
She's my GED sweetheart
She's been with me from the start
And from this life till the next
She'll wear my cross around her neck
We had our first date at a party, a kegger at a rich kids roost
We did it in his parents bedroom
Then we cased what we wanted to boost
We grabbed all the pills and liquor
And we slid out the sliding door
But we barely made it to the bushes
Till my baby was begging for more...
She's my GED sweetheart
She's been with me from the start
And from this life till the next
She'll wear my cross around her neck

Three Time Loser
02:04

You haven't learned your lesson since the last time
That you sat here with your back against the wall
And you didn't care how bad you'd hurt your loved ones
Even when you watched their teardrops fall
From the roads you chose
You know, I think you like to lose
Your the first one to desert
You know I think you like to hurt yourself
You haven't changed anything since the last time
That you filled this room with guilty lies
And the fact that your back where it all started
Doesn't come as any big surprise
Old wounds are quickly felt when history repeats itself
No bill is overdue
But you still think the world owes you
Yes I know you beat the odds
Even though you never had a chance
Just around every turn
Was a friendship you didn't earn
And one you were quick to toss aside...
You haven't changed anything since the last time
That you sat here, on trial, yet again
I promised myself then it'd be the last time...
And god knows, I wished it would have been

Don't Let It Slip Away
04:16
|
|||
Know I let you down, and I’m sorry for that
There’s a million things that I’d take back
Honey, lie down, close your eyes, try to forget
We’re not always gonna live like this
Check to check, month to month, hand to fist...
Lie down... try to forget the things I’ve done
All the times I’ve made us run
If we give up now, it’ll mean they've won
Life’s too long to make mistakes
Around the corner is where they wait
The pain is hard to keep at bay
But remember, don’t let it slip away
There’s a lifetime ahead of us
Don't Let It Slip Away
Just on the other side of this mess
Don’t let it slip away
Hold it tight, hold it close
The worst part’s over, for the most
Just catch your breath...
I look at the sacrifices that you’ve made
It makes me wonder why you’ve always stayed
Through the hard times. When it was only me holding you back
All we have is each other and our dreams
And if we lose either one, what does the other mean?
Not a damn thing... and I’ve seen you put yours on hold
Even when your beat, you never fold
It won't be long til your heart turns cold
Life’s too long to make mistakes
Around the corner is where they wait
The pain is hard to keep at bay
But remember, don’t let it slip away
There’s a lifetime ahead of us
Just on the other side of this mess
Don’t let it slip away
Hold it tight, hold it close
The worst part’s over, for the most
Just catch your breath...
