I rule this place with a golden fist
I don’t play but to keep you open
Hide a little sliver of this feelin in the mist
I won’t play but to keep you open
Baby where you’re not. I don’t wanna be
Baby where you’re not, I don’t wanna be
Baby where you’re not, I don’t wanna be
Tellin you right now what you mean
I’ve got things to make your love grow thicker
I’m on planes that make your headspace bigger
All my stories make your love so sick
make your love heartsick
Make you love me love me love me
Wherever you go
Baby where you’re not, I don’t wanna be
Baby where you’re not, I don’t wanna be
Baby where you’re not, I don’t wanna be
Tellin you right now what you mean
I’ve got things to make your love grow thicker
I’m on planes that make your headspace bigger
All my stories make your love so sick
make your love heartsick
Make you love me love me love me
Give it away give it away
let it be said
let it be written
let it be thought
let you be bought
where you gon go when they give you the deal
Give it away give it away
let it be said
let it be written
let it be thought
let you be bought
where you gon' go when you’re going where you’re not
Baby where you’re not, I don’t wanna be
Tellin you right now what you mean
I’ve got things to make your love grow thicker
I’m on planes that make your headspace bigger
All my stories make your love so sick,
make your love heartsick
Make you love me love me love me
Ahh love
Don’t be afraid of yourself, don’t

Bachata in the back
Brown walks your baby
Brown walks your dog
Brown raised America in place of it’s mom
Brown cleans your house

Brown sews the buttons back on your shirt
Brown picks the fruits

Brown drives your bus
Brown drives your taxi
Brown brings your lunch on a bike when you’re relaxing
I want it, want it all now
I want it all now
We build the ghettos and we tear them down
Brown lays bricks
Brown builds your wall
Brown tears them down and builds them again
Brown breaks his back
Brown takes the flack
Brown gets cut ‘cause his papers are whack
Brown sits down
Brown does frown
Brown’s up in a hospital gown
Brown has not
Brown gets shot
Brown got what he deserved ‘cause he fought
I want it, want it all now

Busca, busca
Busca aguilas que te lleven lejos de mi

Every single day
I buy just what you sell me
Every single day

Every single day
Sacrifice for my family
Every single day
Living in the places you built for me
Oh just like I

Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill
Oh just like I

Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill you
Every single day
I go to work, I fill my cup
Every single day
I pray to god to lift me up
Oh just like I
Oh just like I
Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill
I’m just like my mother
I’m just like my father
I’m just like your sister, your brother, your mother
Oh with the same teeth

Oh with the same teeth I smile, I bite you
With the same lips
With the same lips
Oh with the same lips I kiss, I lie too
With the same eyes
With the same eyes
Oh with the same eyes you use, I watch you
With the same hands
With the same hands
Oh with the same hands, that feed I stab you
Oh just like I

Oh just like I love, I kill, I kill

Right?

I feel just like a girl, a girl does in this world
You show me all them things, the things i’ll never be
We’re running from that past, the past don’t ever change
Me wastin’ all that time on things I don’t believe
What is it gonna take to make us feel safe
When we got that whole world blown up anyway?
When we’re gone we’ll all be dust in space
Did I get that right?
You caught me on some
“I wanna be the kinda girl that you like” tip
Been wastin’ so much time on that whack shit
My purse got big and I lost my keys now i’m stuck outside,
but when I get in there i’ll find the things that i’ve been looking for a long long time,
‘cause it’s a lonely house
Did I get that right?
What is it gonna take to make us feel safe
When we got that whole world blown up anyway
When we’re gone we’ll all be lost in space
Did I get that right?
Did I get that right?
What’s it gonna take to make us feel safe
When we got that whole world up in flames?
When we’re gone we’ll all be dust in space
Did I get that right?
Did I get that right?
Two months since you’ve been gone now
Where’d you go I can’t find out
Two whole months since you’ve been gone
Where’s my peace? I can’t find none
Dreamt I got you on the telephone
Said “I miss you”
Love lives long
Never felt so much pain, wow
Wish I was a time traveler
Wish I was a time traveler
You turned into a big dreamer
Wish their playin' all the best songs
You’re out there somewhere time traveler
Wish I was a time traveler
Wish you’re out there big dreamer
Fly so high you’re time traveling
I wish, I wish
Did I get that right?
get that right, get that right
What is it gonna take to make us feel safe
When we got that whole world blown up anyway
When we’re gone we’ll all be lost in space
Did I get that right?
Did I get that right?
What is it gonna take to make us feel safe
When we got that whole world up in flames?
When we’re gone we’ll all be dust in space
Did I get that right?
Did I get that right?

Lonely Lover
04:24
|

I, I just can’t seem to stop the stars from falling
I, I just can’t wrap my world around it darling
You call, you call me up just like my lonely lover
You see, I’ve seen a thousand miles just like this
Mami just feel like she needs to breathe today, today
Give a little space cause I’m going insane
and I just need to breathe today
Looking for my glasses in the lost and found
Willie smacked Papo then they feel down
You call me up just like I was you’re last lost lover
You see, you see me more than words could ever
Oh, just stab my heart and lay me out to pasture
Mami just feel like she needs to breathe today, today
Give a little space cause I’m going insane
and I just need to breathe today
Looking for my glasses in the lost and found
Drank my last five dollars it’s raining now
Mami don’t feel like she got it down
Watch out ‘cause I heard that’s coming around
I can’t seem to look inside
I can’t deny
You won’t deny
Cannot seem to look you in the eye
You shake (omit “just”) like a thousand thunders
Mami just feel like she needs to breathe today, today
Well I, I, I can’t seem to
Well I, I, I just can’t seem to win
Well I, I, I can’t seem to
I’m just a little star and I’m falling, I’m falling down

Laugh Clown
04:04
|
|||
I haven’t plucked my eyebrows since last month
One of these days I’m gonna let my mustache grow back in
Don’t know where I’m going, only where I’ve been
I know that cliche’s tired but I feel it on my skin
I was worried that my papa lost the chain
his mother gave him the day he left, never saw her again
Sometime I feel like a clown, then I laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Does your brain feel fine
When you’re fighting
Does your brain feel fine
When you’re loosing with your mind
Ain’t got no money, got no money
Got no job, got no kids
No country to live in
Who am I?
I know what you are but what am I?
Well, sometime I feel like a clown then I laugh, then I laugh
now I’m laugh clown laughing
and sometime I feel like a queen then I stand, then I stand
now I’m standing
Does your brain feel fine
When you’re fighting
Does your brain feel fine
When you’re loosing with your mind
Can you feel your way out of the morning just in time
Can you feel your way out of the morning, stand in line
Can’t tell just how far it goes baby
Can you tell me just how far it goes
Oh when in time all wounds do scars grow baby
We’ll see how far back it goes
Sometime I feel like a clown
then I laugh, then I laugh, now I’m laugh clown laughing
Sometime I feel like a queen
then I stand then I stand
now I’m standing standing
and sometime I feel like a joke
That I tell, then I tell, now I’m telling
Does your brain feel fine
When you’re fighting
Does your brain feel fine
When you’re loosing with your mind
Can you feel your way out of the morning darkness just in time
Feel your way out of the morning darkness just in time
Your brain feel fine
When you’re fighting
Does your brain feel fine
When you’re loosing with your mind
Can you feel your way out of the morning just in time
Can you feel your way out of the morning, stand in line

I Won't Say
03:26

info at the fingertips
i know nothing
tongue off my lips
say something
my eyes are blinking
i look around i’m only sleeping
can’t make my mind up about anything
play hide and go seek with a prince charming
do what they want you to
and while you’re lookin’ round thinkin’ it’s cool you miss the real thing
give the numbers to the bigger names
i don’t know her
she don’t know me
we all agree
we don’t know anyone
i don’t know me
i’m only sleeping
i won’t say anything at all
no, i won’t say anything at all
no, i won’t say anything at all
anything at all
anything at all
it’s all in front of us
it’s far away
it happened very far away
leave it for another day
never leave for tomorrow what can be done today
they’ll smile at you and say,
“it’s all ok, you’re only sleeping, you’re dreaming”
i’ll leave it up to you to tell the story to your friends
write about it on your wall
i got so many likes that time you won’t believe me
if you’re not there, you’re nowhere
where is the place you are?
put it down, put it down
god is dead (i won’t….)
dogs bark
fish are jumpin’
the sun is hot
babies cry
no one knows the reasons why we’re only dreaming
i won’t say anything at all
no, i won’t say anything at all
no, i won’t say anything at all
anything at all
anything at all
don’t lay down
don’t lay mami, don’t lay down
don’t lay down
lay down baby
down down
don’t lay down
lay mami, don’t lay down
when you find your way out, come on and find me
whose hair is compulsively fried?
whose skin is bleached?
whose nose is too big?
whose mouth is too loud?
whose butt is too broad?
whose feet are too flat?
whose face is too black?
look at me
look at me
look at you
look at yourself looking at your selfie
where’s your selfie
lego your selfie
i tried to see my ego but was blinded by my selfie
i won’t say anything at all
no, i won’t say anything at all
no, i won’t say anything at all
anything at all
anything at all

I see the little bird creeping outside
Do you see the little bird?
He’s sleepin'
I see the little bird,
feelin’ up, feelin’ down, feelin’ out, feelin' all his feelings
Why do you feel this yellow sun?
Do you feel the yellow sun on your back?
I’m laying on the mat, strokin’ my cat.
Do you pack gats?
Would you hit me back?
Oh no
You see them
Tell me why
You see them
Tell me why
You see them
Tell my why
Don’t you see them, you see them
Feelin sound feelin’ fresh
I’ll clip you like a coupon I’m saving
Fold you like newspapers
I wanna hold you like a baby
and kiss your neck
Who are they to come to tell me where I’m from
and what is wrong?
We know you made up stories page by page
Why you lie?
You see them
Tell me why
You see them
Tell me why
You see them
Tell my why
Don’t you see them, you see them

How Strange It Is
03:12
|
|||
People give names to planets
numbers to time
measure the distance between before now and after
they draw lines across land masses and they call them countries
they fight battles
they kill
they’re born
they die
they have ideas
invent machinery
create history
all of this to understand just how to be, but to me…
It’s strange
How strange it is
I wonder why
they race us like a cat
they’re running all over the floor
and all over the map
oh when you gaze it
when you gave it
while you struggle
I’m just star gazin’
why do shadowboxing?
i call over
window winnin’ no vino
window why the…
wash wash them windows
wash them wash them well
now wash them wash them windows
wash them while you will
It’s strange
How strange it is
How strange it is to be in this world
How strange it is to be in this world
How strange it is to be in this world
How strange it is to be
To be
Mmm why to go
where do we go?
we’re grinning like a game
i’m winning like a flame
i wish open
i win like a cat
i sneak up the wall
they cannot find
I’m strange
How strange it is
How strange it is to be in this world
How strange it is to be in this world
How strange it is to be in this world
How strange it is to be
To be
To be
