Coming in sideways
About to land this plane on the highway
I hope you know
That if I go
I'm coming back for you
These bags under my eyes
Grow deeper everyday
You feel so far away
I wish I could explain
What I'm going through
And if you wanna love
Baby love me
And if you wanna hate
Baby that's alright
I just wanna know
That your love is true
And if you wanna run go ahead
Ain't giving up till I'm in the ground dead
I just wanna know that your love is true
Remember staying up all night
Just us and the stars
When the whole world was ours and...
Remember when I looked all night for you
If I could have it my way
I'd get you in this plane and then we'd fly away
Leave all of our messes and our stresses all alone
Find a little beach and a place to call our own
And if you wanna love
Baby love me
And if you wanna hate
Baby that's alright
I just wanna know
That your love is true
And if you wanna run go ahead
Ain't giving up till I'm in the ground dead
I just wanna know that your love is true
And if you wanna love
Baby love me
And if you wanna hate
Baby that's alright
I just wanna know
That your love is true
And if you wanna run go ahead
Ain't giving up till I'm in the ground dead
And if you wanna run go ahead
Ain't giving up till I'm in the ground dead
Ain't giving up till I'm in the ground dead
I just wanna know that your love is true

Father Joe doesn't know
Where I've been or where I'll go
Out on the corner sowing seed
Telling me Jah got everything I need
And only true love is gonna set me free
I'm just a poor man
Living in the dope land
Looking for some bread to eat
Can you spare some change
Or some dust for my pain
Maybe you could share with me
Something to get me through the morning
Something to get me through the morning
Something to get me through the morning
Paid the Piper
Handled my dues
Been walking these streets in these worn out shoes
Gonna keep on rocking till my movie stops
Gonna leave this world with the jewels that I drop
I'm not the hypocritical political type
Never killed a man but I do stay high
My dreams will soon come true you'll see
And if you see the dope man holler at me
Father Joe doesn't know
Where I've been or where I'll go
Out on the corner spreading cheer
Said
Can't taste the Ocean sitting on the pier
And only true love is gonna make it clear
I'm your local dope man
Living off these coke bags
Bet I got just what you need
And if you need a taste
Got no time to waste
You know this first bags on me
And it will get you through the morning
Something to get you through the morning
You can find me in the morning
Call me the piper
OG
Loc
Been running these streets since before I know
Self made man
Daddy of three
And if you need protection
I'm the one to see
And if you need direction
I'm the one to call
You can call me the mayor
I'm above the law
We family
Set blood
4 LIFE
NOW AND FOREVER
Want you by my side
Father Joe doesn't know
Where I've been
Or where I'll go
He says
Don't give control to the man you fear
And you'll never taste the ocean sitting on the pier
And only true love is gonna make it clear

A girl I know

This is a song about a girl I know
One for the money
Two to get your cocaine
Three little Angels sleeping with you in your bed
Gun under the mattress
Demons dancing through your head
And all she ever wanted was that glamorous life
A house in the hills with all those cameras and lights
And all them lies that they told you is like a poison in your heart
Fear consumes these pills that will rip these lives apart
Thought I told you
They will only love you when you fly
They will only love you when you fly
Thought I told you
They will only love you when you fly
They'll control you
And when your heart is on mute
It's your mind they gonna use
Cuz them feelings don't lie
Your baby's gonna cry
In the end who's gonna fight for you
I'm always gonna fight for you
This ain't a song about the birds and the bees
Love at first sight
Or going swimming in the Ocean
This is a song about them voices in your head
Gun up in your mouth
BABY SLEEPING IN YOUR BED
All she ever wanted was her daddy to see
That loving is the only thing a daddy should be
And all them lies mama told you made your heart so cold
Wish you could forget about the things you know
Thought I told you
They will only love you when you fly
They will only love you when you fly
Thought I told you
They will only love you when you fly
They'll control you
And when your heart is on mute
It's your mind they gonna use
Cuz them feelings don't lie
Your baby's gonna cry
In the end who's gonna fight for you
I'm always gonna fight for you

Reputation

Feel the commotion everywhere I go
It's got me on the run now
I'm pushing through it somehow
This devil's got me hanging from that rope
But I'm gonna keep on fighting even in my dying breath
I'm gonna speak it true
Damn I know we just met but
When it's diluted it feels confusing in my chest
It's time I let you know
That this time I'm letting go
Find your salvation
Destroy your reputation and live
Live how you wanna live
And Love
When Love is your foundation you live
Feel the confusion as we watch our cities burn
Political pollution everywhere I turn
I pledge allegiance to the love that gives to those
Twisting and turning
Most nights I never sleep
Say you love our children with that hate upon your sleeve
I pledge allegiance to the ones that love the most
So I'm gonna let you know
This time I'm letting go
Find your salvation
Destroy your reputation and live
Live how you wanna live
And Love
When Love is your foundation you live
Find your salvation
Destroy your reputation and live
And Love
When Love is your foundation you live
