Running Uphill

'That Girl'

She said come lay down next to me
Just breathe, breathe in the air I breathe
Can't you see can't you see oh girl you're tempting me
But I see oh I see through all your lies and deceit 

Coz that girl's like a cigarette she's just no good for me
But that girl I just can't forget why won't she let me be
She's just like nicotine she's so mean she's always in my way
I try to leave she grabs on to me she's begging me to stay
But that girl's like a cigarette she'll be she'll be she'll be the death of me

Now I find well you're taking up all my time
But why do you occupy so much space in my mind
Girl my pockets are empty but you're taking my last dime
You say you love me but I know that you're lying

Coz that girl's like a cigarette she's just no good for me
But that girl I just can't forget why won't she let me be
She's just like nicotine she's so mean she's always in my way
I try to leave she grabs on to me she's begging me to stay
But that girl's like a cigarette she'll be she'll be she'll be the death of me

Coz that girl's like a cigarette she's just no good for me
But that girl I just can't forget why won't she let me be
She's just like nicotine she's so mean she's always in my way
I try to leave she grabs on to me she's begging me to stay
But that girl's like a cigarette she'll be she'll be she'll be

That girl's like a cigarette she's just no good for me
But that girl I just can't forget why won't she let me be
She's just like nicotine she's so mean she's always in my way
I try to leave she grabs on to me she's begging me to stay
But that girl's like a cigarette she'll be she'll be she'll be the death of me

'Step Back'

They tell me that I need the perfect car the perfect wife the perfect job to have myself the perfect life man they’re so wrong
I haven’t got myself a girlfriend or a worthless bike my boss’s a bitch but that’s just fine kick push I’ll skate on by

My parents are angry that I’m dropping out apparently you need degrees to show what you’re about but mama that’s not me
I won’t pay thousands for a job to put myself in work myself in debt congratulations just became a slave to the nation I should be free

Step back just step back just step back
Step back just step back step back from me
Step back just step back just step back
Get back coz I can hardly breathe

I’m suffocating all these pressures oh I hate it
I just need some time to myself
I’m suffocating all these pressures oh I hate it
Can’t please everyone but oh well

I’m suffocating all these pressures oh I hate it
I just need some time for myself
I’m suffocating all these pressures oh I hate it
Can’t please anyone but oh well

They tell me that I need a proper job but honey money no I never really had a lot it Don’t mean shit to me
So don’t you tell me how I’ve gotta live or gotta be I see millions of people live and die loving life that have so much less than me

Step back just step back just step back
Gep back coz I can hardly breathe

I’m suffocating all these pressures oh I hate it
I just need some time to myself
I’m suffocating all these pressures oh I hate it
Can’t please everyone but oh well

I’m suffocating all these pressures oh I hate it
I just need some time for myself
I’m suffocating all these pressures oh I hate it
Can’t please anyone but oh well

So I’ll just dream my days away
Live in the sky high above the clouds 
I don’t wanna come down now
Down below seems such a craze

Step back just step back just step back
Step back just step back just step back
Step back just step back just step back
Step back just step back just step back
Step back just step back just step back
Step back just step back just step back

I don’t wanna come down now
Down below seems such a craze

Money

Step Back

'Money'

I see my time Is getting rough
I see people fill with envy
They say I haven’t got enough
But what I got is plenty
They say we’ll never reach the top
They say it wasn’t meant for me 
They tell me to go get a job
But that shit just doesn’t tempt me

You know I’m not the enemy
You’ll never get the best of me
It’s all about the money lately 
That’s not the way it’s meant to be

My life taught me to get tough
So why’d I feel so empty
I’m scared I’ll never have enough
Coz love is all we really need
I’m telling you this has to stop
This world keeps filling up with greed
If we focus on what we’ve got 
Then we’d see we’ve got everything we’d ever need right here

You know I’m not the enemy
You’ll never get the best of me
It’s all about the money lately 
That’s not the way it’s meant to go

It’s all about the money lately 
That’s not the way it’s meant to be
It’s all about the money lately 
That shit just doesn’t tempt me

You know I’m not the enemy
What you think you’ll ever get the best of me
It’s all about the money lately 
That’s not the way it’s meant to be

It’s all about the money lately

'Back From The Future'

I’ll lose an inch of my brain
Insane in every membrane
Watch out I know I won’t change
It’s plain to see can’t contain me or anyone

In my crew we cruise through all stop signs
Screws loose hope all stars are aligned 
Live life outside of all lines 
Outside of our minds you’ll find me and everyone

Go where the rest can’t go
Coz I know what the rest don’t know

Now this don’t even need to make sense
Nonsensical thoughts maybe just rapping in past tense
Flew to the future wrote the rap then brought it back
To stay ahead of all of these whack cats that rap crap

Fuck the rat race fuck the paper trail 
Say it to my face bitch I’m never gonna fail
I never wanna fit in but then who the fuck does
I don’t give a fuck rock the mic just because

I’ll go where the rest can’t go
Coz I know what the rest don’t know

Alright let’s

Back from the future not what your used to
Straight from the soul the grooves could seduce her
Producer of the finest lines throughout time
I just came to spit it forget it I’m feeling so fine

Killing ‘em on accident kidding me I was just practising
Rap or sing I'm killing kings when I get up and do my thing
Winning on my mind this time coz I already know
We’re going to the top can’t stop watch us explode

Alright let’s go
Can’t stop us coz we’re on a roll
Can’t stop this so let’s lose control
Red light says stop but fuck it I say go

Back From The Future

'These Nights'

All I see is you
All I need is you
All I believe is proof
Am I getting through to you?

These nights I wake up and I know
That you're not here by my side
Now I know that I needed you to stay
But I don't know if I tried
Now I'm feeling so low
because we used to fly so high
But I guess I never realised 
That I needed you here tonight

All I see is you 
All I need is you 
All I speak is truth
Am I getting through to you?

Listen

These nights I wake up and I know
You're still not here by my side
Well where'd the love go come back
Let me try make shit right
I never knew quite what to say
and so I wrote down this song
You never needed me anyway
Well I've loved you all along

All I see is you 
All I need is you 
All I speak is truth
Am I getting through to you?

Oh yeah yeah no no no
Oh yeah yeah no no no
Oh why can't I let you go?
Why can't I let you know?

All I see is you
All I need is you
All I believe is proof
Am I getting through to you?

Oh yeah yeah no no no
Oh yeah yeah no no no
Oh why can't I let you go?
Why can't I let you know?

All I see is you 
All I need is....

These Nights

Linger

Don’t you ever leave me
I’m lost but you complete me
You know I never let you down
I swore I’d never turn away
I always said we’d leave this town
Coz I always thought you’d stay ay ay ay

I won’t ever stray need you to say I’ll always linger on your mind
I will always love you won’t be satisfied until I call you mine

Loving you is so easy
I fell for you completely
You know I fell in love when I risked it all
Coz I knew you’d be worth it all my dear
never felt so vulnerable but I knew that you’d always be right here
Always high but I felt so low so I dove you caught me made my sadness dissapear
I skywalk whenever you are near

I won’t ever stray need you to say I’ll always linger on your mind
I will always love you won’t be satisfied until I call you mine

No don’t you ever runaway
Coz in my heart you’ll always stay

I won’t ever stray need you to say I’ll always linger on your mind
I will always love you won’t be satisfied until I call you mine
I won’t ever stray need you to say I’ll always linger on your mind
I will always love you won’t be satisfied until I call you mine

Forever - 3:05

Infatuated man I hate it I can't think straight 
Coz you’re on my mind and I'm coming to find that I really just can't fight fate
So why wait it's not too late but am I just wasting time?
Every second you're not mine is just more time I can't rewind

So let's fast forward coz I'm bored and I know that I'm bound to record
A thousand songs to sing when you're feeling anything less than astonishing
Honestly you're body gotta be the hottest on the scene
You're mind is just as beautiful my darling I'm so into you

Oh say it ain't so 
Say you won't go say you'll let me know
Oh say it aint so
Say you need more never let me go

Terrified that you'll turn away I know that you're way too good for me 
You deserve the best but that's what we'll be you see you bring out the best in me
So stick around never let you down this world might need you more but I need you now
Be my queen only thing that I dream about I'll be you're king no crowns let's run this town

Won’t you come and take my arm I will keep you safe from harm 
I will use up all my charm to be the one to keep you warm
You're an angel that saved me from my hell broke the chains and freed me from my cell
I'm not normally selfish can't you tell I need to have you all to myself

Oh say it ain't so 
Say you won't go say you'll let me know
Oh say it aint so
Say you need more never let me go

Oh say you won't let go say you wont let go go
Oh say you won't let go say you wont let go go

It's crazy how'd you get me feeling this way
I never quite no the right words to say
Put em in a song so that you can see
The only thing I ever need you to want is me

It's crazy how'd you get me feeling this way
I never quite no the right words to say
Put em in a song so that you can see

I've been thinking bout forever
Coz when i'm with you I feel better
So you can call on me whenever 
I rep Mt. Cleverest I never rest so find me up all night I'll be thinking something clever
Now Frank ocean's not the only one the only one that's thinking bout for-

Oh say it ain't so 
Say you won't go say you'll let me know
Oh say it aint so
Say you need more never let me go

 Never let me go

Born To Fly - 4:07

Don’t wait or ever say I’m late 
No I’ve never cared much for time
So I’ll just sit back and rhyme 
Smoked bills kill the doubt in my mind

There’s no chill while I grind we’ll be ok 
You see I do this for myself play it my way
Kill it for my boys got no choice
Have to destroy every fake fuck and decoy

That tries to stop us shit do I look concerned?
I’ve been through hell the flames burned through it I learned
This world’s an anvil and your hammered with lessons
You choose to see your failings or count your fucking blessings

It’s all in your mind see you hold the key
To see yourself trapped or believe yourself free
So listen to me I’m right where I’m supposed to be
Spitting truth into the world until they see that you can’t fuck with me

You can't stop me I'm on
We can't stop now can't stop we're too far gone
Can't stop me I'm on
We can't stop now can't stop 

I’m coughing on the cigarettes but I’m giving up so place your bets
Won’t die before I fly this life’s a high and I’m not finished yet
Why can’t you see what I believe? My brothers we’re all made to shine 
It seems in life you either stand in line or turn to a life in crime

This system is designed to keep you chained underground
I found my wings in my sound and if you don’t know well you know now
These losers try to keep me down they think I’m chilled complacent
I’m just biding time you see the journey is the destination

Now I’m racing can’t stop till I’m on top I hope you feel me now
Show those clowns that doubt what’s what just watch me sell-out crowds
You act as if the days I lazed got lost in a haze
But when I blazed it just stopped my mind becoming a slave

Coz no matter your age I know you’ve all got a dream
If you go out and get it well that’s a whole different thing
If you want it then get it who the fuck is gon’ stop me
Till I’m the best I’ll kill the rest so nobody can top me till I’m gone

You can't stop me I'm on
We can't stop now can't stop we're too far gone
You can't stop me I'm on
We can't stop now can't stop we're too far gone

We’re too far gone

I'm so afraid to fly
I'm so afraid to try 
Coz I was born to die

I'm so afraid to fly
I'm so afraid to try 
Coz I was born to die

I'm so afraid to fly
I'm so afraid to try 
Coz I was born to die

I'm so afraid to fly
I'm so afraid to try 
But I’m not born to die

I was born to fly yeah
Fly yeah

We’re not afraid to die
We’re not afraid to try
Coz we we’re born to fly

We’re not afraid to die
We’re not afraid to try
Coz we we’re born to fly

We’re not afraid to die
We’re not afraid to try
Coz we we’re born to fly

We’re not afraid to die
We’re not afraid to fight
Coz we we’re born to fly
