We can pretend sometimes
Living between all of your lines
And you can say I’m blind
But I see you
All we are is all we are is all we are, we are
All we are is all we are is all we are, we are
I know I know I know I know
I know you
I know I know I know I know
I know you
I know I know I know I know
I know you
I know I know I know I know
I know you
I know I’ve been away
I’m just tryna get my paper straight, girl
Don’t give my shit away
I’m just tryna get my paper straight, girl
I know I’ve been away (Mmm)
I’m just tryna get my paper straight, girl (Yeah)
Don’t give my shit away
I’m just tryna get my paper straight, girl
Me me me
That’s all we know
Me me me
That’s all we know
You might think you do
But I bet you don’t
You might think you do
But I bet you don’t
I never packed a tool or acted cool, it wasn’t practical
I’d rather let a tactical, tactful track tickle your fancy
I don’t wanna be
Anything other than what I’ve been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me, and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ’round rooms
Wondering what I’ve gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t wanna be anything other than me
I had to let a little off, yeah
I had to cut the pill off, yeah
But if we bein’ real though, yeah
Nah, I don’t never feel nothin’ (Yeah, yeah)
Maybe she has in the form of a baby’s laugh
I heard passing by in a stroller remindin’ me, “Hey, keep rolling”
I don’t know, maybe she has with a prick of a blade of grass
I’ve been layin’ on way too long, got me itchy
Got up and roamed a lil’ more
Some got hopes and dreams, we got ways and means
The supreme dream team always up with the schemes
So why? Could you explain?
‘Cause I can’t liе, I’m fed up
Why you always standin’ me up?
And hey, hey
I still wear the t-shirt that you gave me
If you’ve been waitin’ for fallin’ in love
Babe, you don’t have to wait on me
‘Cause I’ve been aimin’ for Heaven above
But an angel ain’t what I need
Me and my truth, we sit in silence
Mm
Baby girl, it’s just me and you
Wake up
It’s the first of the month
I don’t even know what she is
I just took care of the bill
I’m the one who built the tower
I’m the one who holds the power
So come on, rise up, shout it louder
I’m the one who built the tower
I’ve been cruising ’round the town, now
With the guys for quite a while
Oh, we been thinking about starting up a club
That shows some class and style
And we’ll get the finest cars
This is not real, this is a memory
A real memory
New York City, please go easy on me tonight
Nеw York City, please go easy on this hеart of mine
‘Cause I’m losing my lover to the arms of another
New York City, please go easy on me
You’ve got the money, I’ve got the time
You want your freedom, make your freedom mine
‘Cause I’ve got the style it takes
And money is all that it takes
I drink sweet wine for breakfast
Slept about an hour or so
Smiled a little in the silence
Deciding on where to go
“Meet me under the whale
In the Natural History Museum”
I think that’s what she said
A little bit sad about having to leave them
Might pull up in helicopter, dressin’ like I’m going to church
What I want falls
Shorter than perfect
But better than earnest
‘Cause I got time while she got freedom
‘Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don’t break even
Feeling that it’s gone
Can’t change your mind
If we can’t go on
To survive the tide
Love divides
We’re all in this together
Once we know that we are, we’re all stars
And we see that
We’re all in this together
And it shows when we stand hand in hand
Make our dreams come true
What are we trying to say?
What if we do what comes to mind?
And whatever we’re trying to say
Hope it don’t blur these
Lines
Lines
Backroads and cold beer are my down-home prayer
Can’t get no closer to the Man upstairs
Than way out there, where the river runs
Lord knows I’d be one hell of a disciple
If bein’ country was in the Bible
Hallelujah, amen
Heaven blessed this life I live
Hallelujah, amen, amen
One plus one equals two which means me and you
Nightly negotiations with the moon
Whoever’s listening
All the miles between us got me messed up
Got me trippin’
I’m in your arms in Central Park
I don’t get sleepy off no melatonin
My therapist put in a thirty-day notice
‘Cause I keep on talkin’ ’bout beefin’ and business and money and women, there’s no diagnosis
Said I know she loves the attention
That she get when she moves
Showin’ out with her home girls
And she got me watching too, girl
It’s the bodega cat and I’m back in the house
On the road again
Just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
Lights may burn brighter at night
But I can’t see nothing that I like
The night we don’t need to hide behind
I love you most in the daylight
