God Bless The Silent One

So much realer than the real thing
Or maybe it’s a dream come true
When I’m with you
I’m no different from the background
The focus been put on you
It’s like a dream

I thought we could take some time baby
Just me and you
I’ve been tripping off the other side baby
You know I still got my sights set on you
If it’s right with you
I wanna get deeper into you

Grey Matter

Other Side

C.J. Robertson & 2nd Son - Other Side

I steer clear from a distance 
With all these big problems
Ain’t nobody tryna touch it with a ten foot pole
Let alone pole for the right cause
Ain’t it all so so so sad 
Boo hoo 
Nowadays everybody just scraping along 
Tryna spread that lil bit of cheese on the Triscuit 
Isolating all alone in your homes and now you feel like a misfit
 In almost every case money move the world 
Distraction through the tech and the trinkets 
Connection to your world sold separate  
All those ills that you spread trickle down
Karma come back around
It’s never too late to turn it around
Karma come back around  
You should listen before you speak 
Cuz I ain’t in it for the flavour of the week
I’ve been in it for a minute 
And I played the games 
And I’m so through with no call to action from other lames 
What happened to it? 
Thought you were in it for the love of it 
But you just love the way it looks 
So you ain’t in it for the art?
You just in it for the stacks and the sky rise and a lake view
and a lav life with a bad bitch on the side
Do I sound right?
 If not, how come everything I see on tv
Modelling how I need to behave
 All this time thinking I need to change to be me
 Bitch please
I’m just tryna feed up on this substance 
I ain’t got no time for any sustenance 
This value system corrupted and its twisted 
Benchmarked by the traders and their highest bidders 
No use for chug chugging for change 
Instead I’m chugging my bank account wrapped in brown bags
And even if I’m lucky and I start a little flame 
Just watch—probably spend it on a range 
Remember at the end of the day 
All you got is your brain
 Fore it all goes down the drain

Listen baby I’m sorry  if we got off on the wrong foot
 Think I might’ve had a couple one two more then I should’ve
Wow 
This is what happens when you’re feeling so sure of yourself
In hindsight I think I burnt a couple bridges back there
Maybe I should’ve thought before I acted
 Oh well I guess it all adds up in the end 
Hold up
 I think that’s what Buddha said
All this confusion that’s going on
(In the World) 
Faced with the brink of destruction 
I think I hear a bomb droppin’ in the background
 (Damn, that's some fucked up shit)
 So let’s make love not war  

While they're out burning bridges all day long 
We can build those bridges all night long
 While they're out burning bridges
 We can be building bridges
We can be building bridges
We can be building bridges

 Did anybody else wake up from the slumber
 And realize that we’re in a generation of take from you and give to me
Don’t worry it’ll stack up all one day
And what goes around comes around
Just like the way it’s meant to be
What’s up with all this hate and no love?
 It’s like we forgot there’s something up above
So many distractions to keep you busy 
No justice but just us, baby 
As if it wasn’t hard enough 
And always got the man tryna get you down
But tonight we got a reason to put it down

While they're out burning bridges all day long 
We can build those bridges all night long
 While they're out burning bridges
 We can be building bridges
We can be building bridges
We can be building bridges

Bridges

There’s something in the way gotta let you know 
I can’t tell if it’s just cardiac
Or if you just digging down deep within my soul
When I first saw you I didn’t know that I was in trouble
I didn’t see the sand baby
 Guess who’s sinking now? 

Was it something that I said
Or you just sensitive? 
(Little sensitive baby)
Baby, if you need me to go on trial I’mma testify
I’mma testify 
All I got for you is love
And I know for sure 
Let me prove it girl
 Won't you hear me out
 
See I was just floating along 
I’ve been doing what I wanna do 
Then you came
Crash landed on through
 I’m rethinking what I’m meant to do
What do I need to do  to get this through to you 
Cuz there’s one thing
One thing for certain, girl
 Pretty mamma I’m convinced I’m meant for you 

You think I like it
Every day 
Waking up with you
Got you on my brain
It’s enough to make a man go insane
You’re like salt up in the wound baby 
Your type of tempting
It’s not a game
Always love to put me back up in my place
I count the minutes
I count the hours
 Baby girl why you treat me so sour?

Meant For You

C.J. Robertson & 2nd Son - Meant For You

C.J. Robertson : Lyrics & Vocals

You the type of girl make a man go crazy
 One hit off you—everything that I got I’m giving it up
 Listen baby I was thinking
Maybe we could have a little one on one
I’d talk it out but I’d rather get nasty 
Can I demonstrate that for you ?

Won’t you come a bit closer
 Can I tell you a little secret baby? 
All this time I’ve been searching
 I never found a damn thing like you
 You can feel free to correct me 
But you're the perfect mix between love and lust 

The way you win my heart with no contest 
Got me strung along I must confess 
Loosen up that rope around my neck 
And I hate to admit it, girl—but I love it 
How did they make you so perfect, baby? 

You see I always had a record of never having what I want 
No reciprocation, got jaded, sink or swim approach
 Frustrated
Been plagued through the disarrays 
No wonder why I feel the need to be a different place 
On a planet fucked as this
Finding you is like wow
 Does it really all exist? 
Baby girl you bring the hope like Leia
 So let me cast a holograph R2 can share

If you want me baby you got me
Tell me all that you desire
