ALRIGHT

Verse
A year ago last may
My world came crashing down
When you took off on that plane
A week before our daughter’s 1st birthday
You said things were too hard
Though you refused to get a job
Said you’re no longer in love
But I refused to just give up

Pre Hook
But you left me in the fire
So now I’m startin over
Everything is lookin brighter
Like Sunshine on the water

Hook
Its gonna be (Alright)
I know I’m gonna be (Alright)
I know you’re gonna be (Alright)
We’re gonna make it, 
We’re gonna make it, 
Its gonna be (Alright)
I know I’m gonna be (Alright)
I know you’re gonna be (Alright)
We’re gonna make it, 
We’re gonna make it
Its gonna be All-All-All-All-All Alright
Its gonna be All-All-All-All-All Alright

Verse
Now lets talk about music
Even when my blood dries up a melody is flowin through me
I can’t help it
Even if the energy invested aint healthy
12 years can be so hard
When everyone you help becomes a star
And suddenly they don’t know who you are
I believed in them when they didn’t believe in themselves

Pre Hook
I gained Success and Popularity 
I need to feel it monetarily
Struggling is humbling in time I know I’ll be
Hook

Bridge
I know. I might seem bitter, but I’m so much better Cuz
What don’t kill you, you know the rest it’s obvious 
I’m still standing
If I take a million falls
Just know I’ve been through it all
I’m indestructible 
I’m gonna be

Alright

FUNERAL

Verse
To everything there is a season and a time
I guess that right now, I’m approaching mine
Gotta leave the pain behind, say bye to heartache
Cause I know that I’m headed to a better place 

Pre hook
I Put the coffin in The hearse and head to the graveyard 
And put those things 6 feet under, so that the change comes

Hook
Imma have a funeral
Imma have a funeral
Imma have a funeral
Imma have a funeral

Verse 
So tell my family, that they shouldn’t cry
A part of me had to die, so I could be alive
Don’t hold on to the memories there’s nothing left
RIP to me, so I could be my best

Pre Hook
I Put the coffin in hearse and head to the graveyard 
And put those things 6 feet under, so that the change comes

Hook
Imma have a funeral
Imma have a funeral
Imma have a funeral
Imma have a funeral
  
Bridge
I’m gonna let my past die even if it hurts
No sense of holding on to something that doesn’t work
I’m gonna bury my bullshit under the dirt
It’s the only way to keep things from getting worse

Eulogy

The trials of Job come into all of our lives
We’ve all been there in times when we felt we could not go on
But this too shall pass
Pain is like rain, if you stay in it too long you will be soaked.
Get up young brother
Rise up
Open the windows, let the sunshine in, Let the hope flow, move on
Be strong
Strong enough to let go of what’s not working
Strong enough to carry your own coffin
The coffin of what must be let go
Have a Funeral

Trials of Job
VERSE 1
The devils got it in 4 me
He wants to see me crash and burn in agony
1st he test the mind of my girl
And tells her that happiness is halfway across the world
Then he curbed her will to fight
He cut our income in half,
And filled our house with strife
Got me in and out court fighting for my kids
And though things seem hard I remember this

HOOK
When you cry
It doesn’t mean it’s the end of life
Because you decide
How you internalize
The trials of Job

VERSE 2
The devils got a master plan
He wants to make curse and spite my master’s hand
1st he tests the mind of my protégée 
To make her think she’s better without me
Then he curbed her will to fight
By letting middlemen decide what’s right
Got me going back and forth fighting for her deal
And though things seem hard I know what’s real

Hook

Bridge
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Feels like Evil’s getting closer with every step
I need the lord to shield me with his grace
Don’t think I’m strong enough to win the race

Out on The Ledge
Verse
Today’s just like yesterday
Got Jack inside my cup
Tomorrow will be the same
Bout to drink my problems up
I’ve got a dangerous love affair with the bottle
Cause my reality is a tough pill to swallow

Pre hook
I feel like an inmate that’s on the row
Feels like there’s no hope and No chance of parole,
I feel like I’m terminal and I’m fading away
Feels like there’s no hope, God please take me away

Hook
I’m Out on The Ledge
Out on the Ledge (3x’s)

Verse 2
Today I hit an all time low
My emotions got involved
Should have never touched that married girl
But my heart had to indulge 
We had a 9-month love affair
I thought I wrecked her home till
Our love triangle turned into a square
 
Pre Hook
I feel like a Judas I’m in the wrong
Now all of my Karma has come back around
No one to confide in about my guilt
I’m sure that Jesus knows the feeling

Hook 2
I’m Out on The Ledge 
(don’t want no one to save me, just leave me there)
(don’t want no one to save me, im out on the ledge)
(don’t want no one to save me, just leave me here)

Bridge
Got nothing to lose, Cause I’m already gone
Got nothing to lose, I feel so alone
Got nothing to lose, Everything is all-wrong
Got nothing to lose, Depressions coming on strong

SADISTIC

Verse
I’m fighting what I wanna do
But I gotta admit I like it
She’s forbidden fruit
I’m Sampson and she’s Delilah
She knows she’s my weakness 
And I know that I shouldn’t touch
Cause gets off from my suffering
It’s like I’m in a cult

Pre Hook
As she moans
I wanna feed her appetite
Her legs wrapped around me tight
I wanna give in but I know
This is wrong
So why does is it feel so right?
My conscience tries to fight
The more I resist passion grows

Hook
She’s so Sadistic
She’s so sadistic
She’s so sadistic 
She’s so sadistic

Verse 2
I’m fighting but it feels so right
Cause S&M aint like me
Her body is my vice
She’s a Jezebel but I like it
Am I being held captive?
Cause I’m serving like slave
Just to please the master
But I don’t want to escape

Bridge
Could it be I’m captivated, Cause I know you’re no good for me?
Even though I’m hesitant, I can’t resist cause there’s a need
I hate that you made me so weak But then I love the way you’re so controlling

Sadistic

Frontline (Lyrics)

(Verse)

Bang, Bang They shoot you down fore they say freeze

No Tarantino Film, This here's Reality

They choke us out in the street

With no warning, no regard for the lives that they thief

Who’s gonna save us from the police??

Not neighborhood watch, they’re just as crooked as cops!!

(Pre Hook)

We’re living World War 3

We’re all just moving targets

In the land of the free 

Why is justice disregarded?

When we got out hands up

They still go and gun us down 

If we didn’t need you then, Well Lord we need you now

(Hook)

We're on the frontline 

The battlefield’s now in our backyard 

We need our armor on to stop the enemy

We're on the frontline 

(Verse 2)

The Sirens are so loud, every where we see

The signs of the time, While History Repeats 

We’re soldiers fighting for peace

Far from Gaza, Iran, Iraq and the Middle East

Who’s gonna save us from the police

Not neighborhood watch, they’re just as crooked as cops

(Pre Hook)

We’re living World War 3

We’re all just moving targets

In the land of the free 

Why is justice disregarded?

When we got out hands up

They still go and gun us down 

If we didn’t need you then, Well Lord we need you now

(Hook)

We're on the frontline 

The battlefield’s now in our backyard 

We need our armor on to stop the enemy

We're on the frontline 

(Bridge)

Politicians warring while our country’s fallin’

Now’s the time to get down on your knees

What’s the sense of fighting for our rights??

If all they are is compromised??

Send us a solution please, cause we’re living

(Pre Hook)

We’re living World War 3

We’re all just moving targets

In the land of the free 

Why is justice disregarded?

When we got out hands up

They still go and gun us down 

If we didn’t need you then, Well Lord we need you now

(Hook)

We're on the frontline 

The battlefield’s now in our backyard 

We need our armor on to stop the enemy

We're on the frontline 

The battlefield’s now in our backyard 

We need our armor on to stop the enemy

We're on the frontline
