Handcuffed In An Armless War Them says we're living in Hell so I'm praising my God as I inhale The same species that created church, created jail so I cross my fingers and hope good hearts prevail The root of all evil is in some dead man's skeleton A path cast with guns and drugs and fake heroines A mask passed from nuns to thugs and passed 'round again Jah, protect me Give me strength 'cause I'm Handcuffed in an armless war Them says the heart in art is dead Well, me no rest 'til the murderer's dead We hungry, you ate Take the food right off your plate Away See, we are all prisoners We gotta be free A mask passed from foes to friends and passed 'round again Jah, protect me Give me strength 'cause I'm Handcuffed in an armless war

Growers 03:37
Growers There's something stapled to my chest It's on the tip of my... The tip of the iceberg Off the summit, I plummet And let go And all we had to do was let it... Bloom C'mon, child, give it room to breathe Just like you said to me before, You're so good at saying nothing It's funny how things go It's crazy how things grow And take on a life of their own And all we had to do was let it... Bloom C'mon, child, give it room to breathe So let's grow C'mon, world take it slow on me I either say too much or not enough Eye either see too much or not enough And all we had to do was let it...

No Brainer (featuring Ari Chi) I think I may have won the lottery A million bucks walked in the set I lost it, yeah you can bet No regard for consequence The way your curves lay in that dress It must be summertime or Sunday Oh, gotta keep my cool So pardon my Chinese But we're supposed to come in twos You can bring me to my knees You're no God but I believe So wouldn't you wanna be there for someone who wants you? Wouldn't you wanna take care of someone in need? Wouldn't you wanna lay down with someone who fiends you? Seems like a no brainer to me... Ah man, this room must've jumped a few degrees No one here would disagree From this angle, you're a cute Girl, this isn't breaking news You know you got it Just confess Rolling those hips with Such finesse Oh, gotta keep my cool So pardon my Chinese But we're supposed to come in twos You can bring me to my knees You're no God but I believe So wouldn't you wanna be there for someone who wants you? ...You know that I do You're singing the truth Man, we're so in tune and I'll be there soon to prove it you... Wouldn't you wanna take care of someone in need? ...I will be there for you I will take care of you Just prove to me that the reasons I'm necessary aren't temporary... Wouldn't you wanna lay down with someone who fiends you? ...The drug we've concocted no one can stop it I fiend for you too... Seems like a no brainer to me Oh, seems like a no brainer to me

Things 04:57
Things Reverse hysteria in Area 813 Old news New day, same excrement Circling around your neighborhood, waiting for you to come outside Hands up where I can see them I need you to feel the things I know I need you to see the things that I'm showing you You're heaven sent And I'm hellbent on getting out before I lose the pieces of me or find the things I need to leave behind Pushing away from the center Just to gravitate back Born a natural sinner Watch me get it right back Lost in the land we lost our innocence New views Same box they try to fit us in Circling around the sky with your eyes, waiting for you to look inside Hands up where I can see them I need you to feel the things I know I need you to see the things that I'm showing you You're heaven sent And I'm hellbent on getting out before I lose the pieces of me or find the things I need to leave behind Pushing away from the center Just to gravitate back Born a natural sinner Watch me get it right back

Feast Of Flowers Now don't go getting All sentimental Just tryna plant these flowers All on your mental Now don't go getting All indecisive on me Plucking out your pedals One by one In the midst of crisis I know it like the back of my hand Like commute home from work I know it like the Florida sand Like the tax paid at church Like the dirt in my fingernails My heart when it hurts And whatever it's worth, I know I'm better for it 'Cause it's all good now It's out of my hands now It's out of my hands now Get out of my head now, please It's out of my hands now Baptized in the fire we created Removed from the situation, I can see our conversations Like they were written in the air I know it like the shape of your smile I picked that up through the years Like the crack in your voice When you're holding back tears Like the blood on my fingertips My very worst fears So whomever can hear... It's out of my hands now It's out of my hands now Get out of my head now, please It's out of my hands now Now don't go getting All sentimental Just tryna plant these flowers All on your mental Now don't go getting All indecisive on me Plucking out your pedals One by one 'Cause, baby, it's all good now

Comfortable 02:28
Comfortable This is me Building boundaries Around what used to be my heart Love, success, and happiness Lord knows, I can't tell those things apart so if you'd be so kind as to lead the blind into the night that awaits us I could make a case Naw, better yet, A casket and throw in my old whereabouts and has-beens because now I'm comfortable

LG 06:31
LG It's not the science of rockets It's not hieroglyphics This is the basement of the botany lab It's Popeye's spinach It's not the scenic route You've read about No cigar and brandy This is the Eightfold Path Blindfolded, violent, and hungry And to think you thought You had me figured out I flipped the scripture Little God You don't need me You know it all So write a letter to whomever Sold you your crystal ball We can shake hands But that won't change a thing, We're watching you, Little God It's not a piece to your puzzle It's not your garden variety This is the backroom stash The cream of necessity it goes on and on and on And to think you thought You had us locked in We broke out And it goes on and on and on Little God You don't need me You know it all So write a letter to whomever Sold you your crystal ball We can shake hands But that won't change a thing We're watching you, Little God (And on and on and on...) Nothing feels the way it used to I don't care half as much Nothing feels the way it used to Little God You don't need me You know it all So write a letter to whomever Sold you your crystal ball We can shake hands But that won't change a thing We're watching you, Little God

Somewhere Around Yesterday Somewhere around yesterday I knew I'd feel this way today Slow down It hasn't even happened yet Stirring up the formula To perpetuate a moment Euphoria, slowed down It hasn't even happened yet Why complicate it? This fear of hesitation A careful misplacement Of the footsteps To lead us back home Tell my love that I've found a place somewhere around yesterday We're almost there No need to slow down Around this time, last week I knew I'd make a strong attempt to slow down and it hasn't even happened yet A million miles an hour Mirages blurred on either side Gotta slow down But it hasn't even happened yet So why complicate it? This fear of hesitation A careful misplacement Of the footsteps To lead us back home Tell my love that I've found a place somewhere around yesterday We're almost there No need to slow down No need to slow down I'm in control No need to slow down I'm in control

The Real You 04:15
The Real You Please hold my hand Hold it real tight I'll be right here When day turns to night Keep you real close Nothing to fear Everything's sunshine Whenever you're near Give me the real you I want to know that it's true Give me the real thing I'm so addicted to your passion your flaws Everything you're not I want it all Give me the real you Please ease my mind Keep heart in chest Wearing your absence Like a bulletproof vest Keep you real close Nothing to fear Whenever it's raining, I pretend that you're near Give me the real you I want to know that it's true Give me the real thing I'm so addicted to Your passion Your flaws Everything you're not I want it all Give me the real you Give me the real you

Harmony And Disconnect No faith in me No strength in me I'm often thinking that my past life didn't turn out half right I don't cry about it We were in our early 2000's and trippin' into trouble was the neighborhood's pastime Right or wrong You and I We mimicked what the crowd did 'Cause all I wanted was some friends All I wanted was a good time All I wanted was some ends To meet up in due time All I wanted was some space All I wanted was a sanctuary To call my own Perhaps, meet someone to confide in? For a couple of seconds, I thought it was real Stretch the harmony Mute the disconnect Accept the mess we made Yeah, you and me I'm often thinking that my past life Didn't turn out half right So send me to Hell I'll come back with the devil's head Pick up some wine and break some bread 'Cause all I wanted was some love All I wanted was some genuine peace All I wanted was some trust Not the kind the bank could lend me All that I've been told I'm finding out that it all makes sense All that I've been sold I figured out that I paid too much Took a deep breathe Took a deep look At the madness that's around me All the madness that surrounds me For a couple of seconds, I thought it was real Stretch the harmony Mute the disconnect Accept the debt we owe as human beings Pour some Jack in my poison The hair of the dog Wait 'til Heaven's gates open Smoke out on the lawn Have faith in me Find strength in me
