[Freeverse - Charles Oliver}

I'm sick of all the generic and whack shit
Tatted head to toe like most American rappers
I'm quite happy now that I've settled in madness
Now Charlie is gone, and the devil is back bitch
I know you're thinking that you can change it now
Change it 'round, thinking that the whole game was ours
Everybody now looking for the fakest sound
Get high in the haze of clouds, hope we can take it down
And If we do, then we know that we've done the right thing
No longer is it frightening, having the lights dimmed
Now we can continue living our life dream
Whether that might be, lighting up like you're high beamed 
Or whether that be, being you
In a sea of blue you're seeing truth, as it comes beaming through
Do you, don't follow by what the church does
You'll seek for retribution until they burn us
And it hurts us, as everyone screams in pain
If we were to leave today, we know the scene would fade
So we jump into the unknown from a leap of faith
No clue where we go, we hope it leads the way
We just hope it doesn't fall to a dark abyss
Pain is unbearable, hopefully it ain't half of this
Give it a small opening and it'll start to rip
I'm a worse screw up than my own father's kid
Shit, that's me, didn't think about that
Wonder what life would've been like if I hadn't have found rap
Without all the props and fame, with all the cops and blames
Swear life now is not the same
Shit, I just don't want to work nine-to-five
Solo said there's no rides left, but life's a ride
I stay grounded, so you'll never find me high
You're lucky, peace out, yo I've finally died

Light Up - 2011 Sessions

[Hook - J. Cole]
Come here, I'm 'bout to take you higher
We about to set this bitch on fire
Pour a little gas, spark up your lighters
You might not be the one, but you're the one (that I desire) (x2)

[Verse 1 - Charles Oliver]
Saw you across the room, saw you walk and watched you move, 
Then you walked away and I lost the mood
I followed you around all the way to the train station
Gave me the cold shoulder, and now the pain's aching
I went home, talked to my friends about you
People say I haven't found the one, but I found you
Isn't that close enough? Would you get close to Chuck? 
Never kiss me, push away all those hugs?
Nah, what's not the love? The way I rap songs? 
Or don't you like the pads I write all my raps on?
Girl, give me outline of when it's our time
'Cause I'm addicted to the brunette's with brown eyes
Come back to my place, hope you got the right taste
Hate my rapping but you love Pac and like Ma$e
Man, that love for me, yeah I hope you find it
So you can feel this shit and so I can take you even higher

Come here, I'm 'bout to take you higher

[Verse 2 - Charles Oliver]
We've had a few conversations, I want to get on to datin'
Yet you wanting me to wait long in patience
I like to take control of relationships
And the shit only gets dangerous when I hate the chick
A year down the track and we had just one kiss
When we touched lips, I didn't go back, I loved it
You're the one I have fun with, no other girl
Outerspace with this shit, it's like another world
I give you anything but you say fuck the pearls
You're freaky with it as you try to make love to Earl
I turn it down, and crank up the Aus Hip Hop
Keep it going both ways, until that shit stops
My wrist watch, says it's on, with me and you
Seemed like forever when I saw you in the sea of blue
Yeah, time will choose our destiny
Let's just hope that all this shit was meant to be

[Hook - J. Cole]
Come here, I'm 'bout to take you higher
We about to set this bitch on fire
Pour a little gas, spark up your lighters
You might not be the one, but you the one that I desire (x2)
