2.Let It Rock (Featuring Lil Wayne)

I see your dir-ty face,
hide behind your collar.
What is done in vain,
truth is hard to swallow.
So you pray to god,
to justify you live a lie,
live a lie, live a lie.

And you take your time,
and you do your crime.
Well you made your bed,
I'm in mine.

Because when I arrive,
I,I'll bring the fire.
Make you come alive,
I, can take you higher.
What this is, forgot.
I must now remid you,
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock.

Now the son's disgraced,
he who knew his father,
When he cursed his name.
Turned, and chased the dollar.
But it broke his heart,
so he stuck his middle finger to the world,
to the world, to the world.

And you take your time,
and you stand in line.
Well you'll get whats yours.
I got mine.

Because when I arrive,
I, I'll bring the fire.
Make you come, alive.
I can take you higher.
What this is, forgot.
I must now remind you,
Let it rock (rock), let it rock (rock), let it rock.

Wayne's world,
Planet rock.
Panties drop, and the top.
And she gunna rock till the camera's stop.
I sing about angels like Angela, (rock!)
And Pamela, (rock!)
And Samantha, (rock!)
And Amanda, And Tamera. (what?)
I'm in here like bitch whats up.
Mechanic me, I can fix you up.
I can fuck you up,
I can fuck you down.
Shawty, we can go wherever just pick a town.
And my jewelry is louder than an engine sound.
Big ass rocks like underground,
dirty like sex thats on the ground. (Weezy!)

Because when I arrive,
I, I'll bring the fire.
Make you come alive,
I can take you higher.
What this is, forgot.
I must now remind you,
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock.

Because when I arrive,
I, I'll bring the fire.
Make you come alive,
I can take you higher.
What this is, forgot.
I must now remind you,
let it rock (rock), let it rock (rock), let it rock.
Just let it rock (rock), let it rock (rock), let it rock.
Let it rock...
Let it rock...

I'm back like I forgot somethin',
I'm somethin'.
Prunin' rock rubbin', rap runnin'.
Miles like it's trying to get a flat stomach.
Lil Wayne the personal trainer.
My aim is perfect, I'll bang you.
Perfect, like the remainder.

I wish I could be,
as cool as you.
And I wish I could say,
the things you do.
But I can't and I won't live a lie.
No, not this time.


3.I Song

She walks in the room
In her mind she's far away
I can see her emptiness
But I just don't feel her pain

The love is gone
The only thing she was living for
Mister I'll never leave you
Walked right out the door, Oh.

It's killing me inside
The way I've seen her change
She writes her life story
But she can't turn the page

I hold her had, try to take her
But she pulls away
Shades go down, lights go out
There's nothing left to say

So I'm singing
I want it all but I take just a little
I feel her touch then I need some more
We get high just to try and relieve the pain
But a voice inside reminds me there must be a better way, Oh.

So I leave the room
Bout halfway down the hall
I turn around, she screams out
What, you don't believe in love.

Said I'll never be who I was
when I was seventeen
Cause every time I walk away
I leave a piece of me.

So I'm singing
I want it all but I take just a little
I feel her touch then I need some more
We get high just to try and relieve the pain
But a voice inside reminds me there must be a better way, Oh.

Now I understand
What they were trying to say
Life goes by too fast
And people change

But she just wants to be
Who she always was
But you can't change a single thing
You might as well look up and sing

I, I just take a little
I then I need some more
We get high to relieve the pain
But there is a voice inside me saying you'd better walk away

And I take just a little
I, oh to relieve the pain we get high
Some things never change
But a voice inside reminds me there must be,
Be better way.


4.Livin' It Up


5.NYC (Featuring Nas)

In the city of dreams,
you get caught up in the schemes
and fall apart in the seam
Tonight
That boy he used to bomb,
From B.K. to the Bronx
and it's the fortunate one, who dies
New York, we ready!
He move from LAS to SoHo (hooo)
A few blocks for those who don't know (ohh)
Down the hall punched a hole in the wall
Bounced out, all are in control
Certified son of a gun
Learns life lesson 101
Don't fly too high on your own supply
Get burnt by the sun
Coz in the city of dreams
You get caught up in the schemes
And fall apart in the seam
Tonight
That boy he is the bomb,
From B.K. to the Bronx
And it's the fortunate one who dies
He was NY's talk of the town
Heard out to the LI sound (okay)
He started datin models and he figured it out
He used to be a nice guy, then he cut that sh!t out
Qualified sex machine
No better than a vowed fiend
She wanted a ride to the upper east side
but he dropped her ass off in queens
Coz in the city of dreams
You get caught up in the schemes
and fall apart in the seam
Tonight
That boy would play his guitar
like he was ready for war (You ready, K?)
And then he'd lift up his voice to the (It's your man Nas here)
Sky (Take it straight through New York City)
Yo, ok, my city, my town, my crown
Michael Bloomberg, forget what you heard
I'm thought of highly, shoppin Louie, Gianni
Christian LaCrosse shades, what can a boss say?
City, bus, the subway, cab, the runway
Ski masks and gunplay my past at a young age
The illest city on the planet
Towers came down, Wall Street barely standin
We Crook Brothers, opposite of Brook Brothers
My footsteps of Scatman Crothers
It's just generations of style to get five luminous minutes with
me
Interviews on how I flip sixty-twos
This isn't my style, I spit what I'm livin right now
I'm out on the town, gold bars shuttin it down
Bottles stacked from the floor to the ceiling
Then it's a loud fool, fifty-third street, right near the Hilton
I'm fightin the feeling I had when I was lightin up buildings
Now I'm writin for millions of listeners
Critics who just don't get it
They try dissin us, New York full of kings and queens,
all the rest just mimic us
Coz in the city of dreams
you get caught up in the schemes
and fall apart in the seam
Tonight
That boy would play his guitar
like he was ready for war
And then he'd lift up his voice to the sky


6.No Way Out

all the train came trippin thru the station
this mad hatter he was beaming at me
you cool cat, you think that you kno me
im not the same person that i used to be
your cards dealt your playing them wrong boy
and theres a few things that you need to kno
i took the elevator up to the top
and i followed that rabbit all down the hole

i told myself i belived it, but who was i kiding
out of these eyes i could see it, but its all a lie
the end is near i can feel it
ya its comin around, but know theres no doubt its settled
and theres no no way out no way out

switch got me caught up in a twister
im skipping all down that yellow brick road
i said to the tin man sorry cant help ya
they ripped my heart out long time ago
and now im feeling like the cowardly lion
i wanna break out but im paralized
the yellow bricks led me staright to the wizard
he said its all your state of mind

i told myself i belived it, but who was i kiding
out of these eyes i could see it, but its all a lie
the end is near i can feel it
ya its comin around, but know theres no doubt its settled
and theres no no way out no way out

and theres no no way out
and theres no no way out
and now theres no doubt its settled
and theres no no way out
no way out ya

i told myself i belived it, but who was i kiding
out of these eyes i could see it, but its all a lie
the end is near i can feel it
ya its comin around, but know theres no doubt its settled
and theres no no way out no way out

now theres no way no way out
now theres no way no way out
now theres no way no way out


7.Scarred

She came from a small town,
Hypnotized by the big city life.
She came looking for a peice of action,
All She got was the big city life.

She tried to convince herself,
This was leading somewhere.
Just like on the last day of school,
They were gone by the time she got there.

She's like 'Wooooah' I finally found my place.
And I'm like 'Wooooah' This Girl can't keep them boys away.
And she say's 'Nooo', See I used to have dreams.
But I cashed in something long ago, That I can't redeem.

Once you are, just another cut away,
Now your scarred, And these scars won't fade.
I still know, You don't get something for nothing,
Without giving up your soul.

She got the get it look
With the drink in her hand.
And she feels like no one.
She tries to put the past behind her,
But she still owes him.
If I ever get out of this place,
Things will be different.
She still hides at the bottom of the bottle,
And cries when she looks in the mirror.

She's like 'Wooooh' Am I Looking At Myself
And I'm like 'Wooooah' I don't see nobody else
And she say's 'Nooo', That's the price I paid
And it'll cost me my life just to get out of the game.

Once you are, just another cut away,
Now your scarred, And these scars won't fade.
I still know, You don't get something for nothing,
Without giving up your soul.

Once you are, just another cut away,
Now your scarred, And these scars won't fade.
I still know, You don't get something for nothing,
Without giving up your soul.

Once you are, just another cut away,
Now your scarred, And these scars won't fade.
I still know, You don't get something for nothing,
Without giving up your soul.


8.Welcome To The World (Featuring Rick Ross)

You got your popstar, ill be your rockstar
When it's a suicide, you call it superstar
Check out the forecast, predictions wont stop
You get your fifteen, and then they take the spot

Lets go, lets go
And then youre ready to go
Lets go, lets go
Cause it's the end of the show
Lets go, lets go
So just get ready to go
Lets go, lets go
Lets go, lets go

All the time that you were gone,
I thought about how things went wrong
Now youre coming down to earth
Ok, hello, welcome to the world

She saw the bright lights
She caught the fever
She got contagious
She never leave it
So no more time spent
And no more free shit
In fact this free ride has reached its destination

Lets go, lets go
And then youre ready to go
Lets go, lets go
Cause it's the end of the show
Lets go, lets go
And when its over, youll know
Lets go, lets go
Lets go, lets go

All the time that you were gone,
I thought about how things went wrong
Now youre coming down to earth
Ok, hello, (welcome to my world) welcome to the world

far from lane im just so fresh
while cubit lee(???), it's the big boss

Kevin! 2 stars, hold your applause
Hold it down to yalls all guitars
Half my life I sacrifice
But I only came to party tonight
New chicks, get my drinks up
Every weekend we can link up
New rings, with the big cuts
Only be the best sport, get your mix up
I took my time she love me, me such
When she closes her eyes its what she thinks of
Boss

All the time that you were gone,
I thought about how things went wrong
Now youre coming down to earth
Ok, hello, welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world


9.Coffee And Donuts


10.She Can Get It


11.Gimme A Sign

Time doesn't wait,
Wait for no man.
So get on with it.
There's no escape,
Try if you can.

And, oh, this world is crazy.
And, oh, it blows my mind.
Oh, it seems like everybody's rushing,
Just to get to the back of the line.

Well I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
And I dance with the Devil but I got no regrets.
He told me next time your in town drop me a line.

Oh, just gimmie a sign.
Let the world fall apart.
Just gimmie a sign
Don't leave me in the dark.

I couldn't shake that little voice
Ringing in my head.
Wanted to run away from myself.

So I asked for a wise man to make me wise
He said son the answer's contained inside
I choked on the fortune, but I feel fine

Oh, just gimmie a sign,
Let the world fall apart
Just gimmie a sign,
Don't leave me in the dark.
Just gimmie a sign.

You know they're gonna aim at you.
You know they'll try to take from you
Just gimmie a sign cause I need it this time

Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up, Stand up
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)
Stand up (stand up)

I got in some trouble way back in the day.
Spent a few years tryin' to find my way
I broke a few rules, I ain't payin' the fine.

Oh, just gimmie a sign.
Let the world fall apart.
Just gimmie a sign,
Don't leave me in the dark.
Just gimmie a sign.
Oh yea, just gimmie a sign.
Oh yea, just gimmie a sign.
Yea, oh, oh yea, oh
Just gimme a sign.

You know they're gonna aim at you.
You know they'll try to take from you
Just gimmie a sign cause I need it this time


12.Great Escape

One night when I was asleep,
I had a dream I could fly.
I felt the cold on my skin,
then I opened my eyes.
So I jumped out of bed,
went down the fire escape.
Now I'm laid out on the street
I wasn't running away
from something I could control.
It was inside of me.
I didn't know where to go
but I decided to leave.
I still remember that night.
I've never been the same.
Still wonder if I can fly.
Was it just a dream?

I wasn't happy for so long,
so many times I walked away.
Think I was searching for something,
not knowing what I had to face.
Until I found out the reason,
that's when I made my great escape.
But now, it's too late to say I'm sorry.
Turn around (x15)

One night when I couldn't sleep,
I heard a knock at the door.
She put her hand on me slow,
then she opened my heart.
I asked myself is this real?
I've never felt this way.
She said I need to escape.
I said I know a place.
So she laid down on my bed
I said confide in me.
She looked deep into my eyes
and she invited me.
She must lived for her sleep
She never said goodbye.
Her angels took her away,
I guess now she can fly.

I wasn't happy for so long,
so many times I walked away.
Think I was searching for something,
not knowing what I had to face.
Until I found out the reason,
that's when I made my great escape.
But now, it's too late to say I'm sorry.
Turn around (x15)

I wasn't happy for so long,
so many times I walked away.
Think I was searching for something,
not knowing what I had to face.
Until I found out the reason,
that's when I made my great escape.
But now, it's too late to say I'm sorry.

This is my song,
these are my words,
this is my story.
This is my song,
these are my words.

This is my song,
this is my story,
these are my words.

This is my song,
these are my words,
this is my story.
This is my song,
these are my words.
