Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Mama I'm coming home,
Don't wait for me by the phone
I'm coming, I'm all alone
'Cause everybody's gone
Told my girl I ain't coming back,
But I love her ain't over that
But i'm done with that class it's all good
Now it's all in the past, and I passed
And I thank God I made it out
Now it's over, I'm out
I'm closer to my closure and I'm out
Just wanna hold ya, gotta hold ya, hold ya
Imma go get that diploma
So I can act like I done grown up
Never look back until I'm blown up
No more throwing up, only going up
And I said hold up
They said reap what you sow, I said so what?
I don't wanna hold up
You never know where you're going
But you know that you're going
So clap clap clap clap, pack up, wrap up
We going up, sip it, hold it up
When it's time i hope y'all join the club
And I hope you fall in love and I'm gone

Pre-Chorus:
Fall is calling
you can’t stop me
you won’t stop me
you won’t stop me
Fall it calls but
you can’t haunt me
you don’t haunt me

Chorus:
And so it goes
Somewhere I don't know
Could it become a home
In old/new clothes
The moment flows
And so it goes

Verse 2:
And I'm back again, yep
Never know when I might pop up
Got my loafers on, I'm stuck up
Got my stripes and I got my luck up
Mama Karma helped me stock up,
I don't know how I done made it
Time is ticking all away I wish I never put that clock up
Now we moving on, damn I need a new apartment
Think we need a new department just for showing some love
And get our grooving on
Damn I hate that we departed 
Just know this is where it started
All the parties departed but we'll be back again
Back to rap again
Play some music till you moving have you clap again
And hey man, I gotta say man
I think I found myself as a freshman
We got lost and then we got found
But all I can say is that we all blessed man so Amen!

Pre-Chorus:
Fall is calling
you can’t stop me
you won’t stop me
you won’t stop me
Fall it calls but
you can’t haunt me
you don’t haunt me

Chorus:
And so it goes
Somewhere I don't know
Could it become a home
In old/new clothes
The moment flows
And so it goes

So It Goes (feat. Lawrence, Stolen Jars, and DAP The Contract)

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I'm wasted! Eaten too much
I've been sleep too long inside this food truck
I've got my blue cup, I'm so different
I think we blew up, I think you missed oh you missed it ooh

I know you wanna make out, but there's all that make up, 
I'm probably gonna breakout
And my future so lunar, mooning out the saloon car
I never go out in the morning
I'm a super looney tuner now

You, 
Don't do what you don't want to 
You can't undo it what you doing now
You,
We keep on going till the finish 
And I hope this wasn't a waste of your time

Chorus:
You say that it is wasted time
You’ll learn its no concern of mine
Cause I would never change a line
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

Verse 2:
Imma drunken hula hoopa, but I'm still a trooper
Food coma on the stoop, looking like an Oompa Loompa 
You're proud you finished school,
What did you really learn about?
I heard you like to party hang with molly that's all I heard about 

Oh college so solid candy flossing in the deep end
5pm on Friday end the week and it's the weekend 
And I ain't even started it's like I'm still testing 
Don't know where we going all I know is who's next 
And it's me and it's 

You,
If you don't know what to do 
Just keep on going till you do and now
You,
Just keep on going till you finish 
And I hope this wasn't a waste of your time

Chorus:
You say that it is wasted time
You’ll learn its no concern of mine
Cause I would never change a line
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

Bridge:
Don't waste your time
Trying to save mine

Chorus:
You say that it is wasted time
You’ll learn its no concern of mine
Cause I would never change a line
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

Wasted Time (feat. Lawrence, Stolen Jars, And DAP The Contract)

What Can We Do:
Something's outside
I don't feel right
What can we do
What can we do

Passing the time
Lost in my mind
What can we do
What can we do

I get so caught
on what I thought
of you

You had me going, 
Then I move, you got me slowing
I'm running but I'm going nowhere

You were my homie
You and me rode like a roadie
Now you got me holding on, yeah

Now where do we go?
I'm done with you stealing the show
Now it's my time now I know, no no no no

So take these songs up off of me
I’m sick of living underneath
I’ve wasted all this time but so it goes

What can we do
What can we do

I get so caught
on what I thought
of you

Gone (feat. Lawrence, Stolen Jars, And DAP The Contract)

Cold:
Chorus:
I'm cold as hell
I’m cold as hell
No, it don’t feel well to be cold

Verse 1:
She rolled over, yeah
Ain't nobody in her bed tonight
Who knows when he gon' come home
If he do will he notice her hair tonight
Hair ties while he tied up but no ties
They used to suit each other 
But now I notice they got no ties
She said I need more time,
But too many kids like 2 3 4 5
Hold tight baby, yeah
Daddy coming home soon, no lies
He's just out with the old guys
Old flames don't die
Quick prayer, pray he don't lie
It's a Saturday, it's always the sadder days
Sunday morning before God like "Oh my"
He walks in like "Hey, you good?"
"Yeah, you?", "I'm fine"

They like twins, 
Only been married for a minute like Kim
Still tryna work it all out like Cole
Why the world so cold when he come back in?
Damn he smell good, but is it her or him?
While he putting on weight, she start to look a little slim
Used to be a real force, now they ain't even kin
But she know she gotta stay, 'cause to not is a sin
And she an angel
Gotta love her for that, but she don't love herself
She the queen of a king
"So where you been?", 
"At the club with the guys, where you think?"
She rolled over, yeah,
Ain't nobody in her head tonight
Who knows when he gon' come home
If he do, will he notice some tears been shed tonight, tonight

Chorus:
I'm cold as hell
I’m cold as hell
No, it don’t feel well to be cold

Verse 2:
She need a break up
"We're so late with your goddamn makeup"
When they fight, they never make up
They move on a little closer to the break up
They better wake up
"I wish life had a cheat code",
Why he even thinking 'bout cheating though?
He'll be back in the evening, 
Probably with some women then
But she never see it though
Just keep swimming, never quitting
No court, no acquitting
No loss, no winning, just still
'Cause you still gotta pay them bills
When he die, man I hope she ain't kill em
When he hold that quill gotta make that will
But nobody in her bed tonight
She packed up, walked out, last time
When the ride pulled up, 
"North side, I'm Zoe, take a left at the lights”

Cold (Remix) (feat. Lawrence, Stolen Jars, And DAP The Contract)

So it Goes:

Mama I'm coming home,
Don't wait for me by the phone
I'm coming, I'm all alone
'Cause everybody's gone
Told my girl I ain't coming back,
But I love her ain't over that
But i'm done with that class it's all good
Now it's all in the past, and I passed
And I thank God I made it out
Now it's over, I'm out
I'm closer to my closure and I'm out
Just wanna hold ya, gotta hold ya, hold ya
Imma go get that diploma
So I can act like I done grown up
Never look back until I'm blown up
No more throwing up, only going up
And I said hold up
They said reap what you sow, I said so what?
I don't wanna hold up
You never know where you're going
But you know that you're going
So clap clap clap clap, pack up, wrap up
We going up, sip it, hold it up
When it's time i hope y'all join the club
And I hope you fall in love and I'm gone

Fall is calling
you can’t stop me
you won’t stop me
you won’t stop me
Fall it calls but
you can’t haunt me
you don’t haunt me

And so it goes
Somewhere I don't know
Could it become a home
In old/new clothes
The moment flows
And so it goes

And I'm back again, yep

you don’t haunt me

And so it goes
Somewhere I don't know
Could it become a home
In old/new clothes
The moment flows
And so it goes

So It Goes (feat. Lawrence, Stolen Jars, And DAP The Contract)

Some Times:
Sometimes I feel it closer
Some times are lost, consumed
When I’ve been left alone
My calm without a home
Sometimes
Some times
Sometimes

It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

Some Times (feat. Lawrence, Stolen Jars, And DAP The Contract)

Hi-Lo Jack is a collaboration between three friends from different musical worlds. With their first release, Old New Clothes, Clyde Lawrence (of soul-pop band Lawrence), Cody Fitzgerald (of indie-rock band Stolen Jars), and Dolapo Akinkugbe (aka rapper/producer DAP The Contract) come together to create a project that merges their distinct sounds. With wide-ranging influences from Outkast to Randy Newman, Bon Iver to Stevie Wonder, and Dirty Projectors to Chance The Rapper, the EP challenges genre labels while remaining cohesive in a space all its own.
