1st Track on the Growin Up EP

Leaves of Autumn
Vita Solo(Hook):
Bout to drift away
I’ve fallen
Overmedicate
My problems
I need to find a better way
To solve them
Fallen like the leaves
Of autumn

Zilla(Verse):
Words fail
That’s where music speaks
Lungs collapsing
I’m inhaling
I can’t breathe
Devil’s watching
I’m in hell
But I can’t see
I need some help
Need some guidance
Need some peace
I could use some peace
I could use some help
Been a long road
Tryna my find my health
Had to get crossed up to redeem myself
Now I’m starting to get how Jesus felt
Devil really thought
He could have me back
Tried to take my future
Tried to blame the past
Lookin for an out
But I’m out of time
Look up to the sky try to find a sign
Used to feel so lost
Now I’m where I’m supposed to be
Used to settle for the 2’s
But now I’m Curry with the 3’s
Staying loyal to my city
Talkin - Melo NYC
You can take me out of Houston
CAN’T TAKE HOUSTON OUT OF ME!!!
And late thoughts
Having midnight contemplations
Staring at the ceiling
Have to revisit the basics
Look out to the stars
Think how far my dreams can take me
Blinded by ambition
Fallen leaves of my frustrations

Vita Solo(Hook):
Bout to drift away
I’ve fallen
Overmedicate
My problems
I need to find a better way
To solve them
Fallen like the leaves
Of autumn

Drawde(Verse):
Choices make us wonder
Wonder everyday 
If we had done it different 
where would we be at today?
when all my leaves have fallen 
who then will come and rake
my memories,
laughs, smiles, tears, 
jabs from my enemies?

Just let the music play
oh just let the music play
in the autumn sun
with sweet fat Jay's
of pretty Mary Jane 
no pain no pain
I said no pain no pain

they stay every night in love
and every time something changes 
when the bell finally rings 
and we've turned all our pages, 
who will weather the storm
when winds threaten 
to take us
bend but never break
my life is crazy crazy

If everydays a memory
then maybe you'll remember me
me, me, ,me
if everydays a memory
when you're lost up in the autumn leaves 
hope that you remember me


Dylan “DC” Cook:
You know me 
I light up and start cruisin'
Hit you with that new new 
Got you puffin' on exclusive 
The autumn leaf I'm Rollin' up 
Has got you Fallin' while you flyin'
Takes you way from those
who wanna black you out because your shinin'
Man I had some people close to me 
do what you won't believe 
Tried to find the right words
but the right words won't come close to me 
Trying to reach my dreams 
I've got my goals still
that I must achieve 
Like Sully 'bout to land this plane
I need y'all put y'alls trust in me 
Know the seasons change
and take us places we ain't planned to go
Situations shape us
into ways we never planned to grow 
Life will teach us lessons
about things we never planned to know 
Had bros animorph into a snake and slither 
On the low 
All this weighs on my mind
I stay lit 
And I keep one rolled 
Now hard as gaining trust
is how you can describe my flow 
But I keep it G
I know the code
I just do me 
I push on forward 
I light it up
enjoy the smoke
enjoy the ride
enjoy the float 
(float)

Vita Solo(Hook):
Bout to drift away
I’ve fallen
Overmedicate
My problems
I need to find a better way
To solve them
Fallen like the leaves
Of autumn

2nd Track on the Growin Up EP

Find Your Way
Drawde(Intro):
Everything seems so close to me
But then again it seems so far away
Failure will never get the most of me
Tomorrow isn’t promised
Neither was today

Drawde(Hook):
And I hope you Find Your Way
I hope you Find Your Wayyyyy
And I hope you Find Your Way
I hope you Find Your Wayyyyy

Drawde(Verse):
I can’t even write no more
cuz my hands don't
match my conscience 
and everytime I start to write
I cramp up like LeBron did
I just wanna change the world 
hit em with some real shi-
they told me to find my way
and that's exactly what I did.
Thought I could be Jordan by 23
told me you'd be Kobe by 24 
but it's like
man
they don't even know me no more.
(well I said)
Today's gonna be the day
imma let the pain go
imma roll the whole
eighth
imma let the swishas blow
imma tell the whole world
exactly what is on my mind
imma tell the whole world 
I been taking white lines
I been going crazy 
mind is in a rush.
she told me to shut up
she say I talk to much
told her that I think too much 
so imma just do what I do. 
I found my way 
Girl yeah 
I found my way to you.

Drawde(Bridge):
I was in an accident. 
(hmmmmm)
coulda stole my whole life away
(yeah yeahhhhh) 
but is anything an accident... 
(hmmmmm)
when everything has gone astrayyy
(yeah yeahhhhh)

Drawde(Hook):
And I hope you Find Your Way
I hope you Find Your Wayyyyy
(even if you get lost sometimes)
(I hope you find your way)
And I hope you Find Your Way
(When everything has gone astray)
I hope you Find Your Wayyyyy

Zilla(Verse):
Ugh,
Should I fight back or should I give up
Tryna get my life on the right track
But finding shits tough
Been reminiscing on the day she left me lonely
I didn't know myself 
I can't expect for her to know me
And free-will
With that..
comes the choices…
Countless opposition
Failure just can be avoided
Someone so important
Feels like life alone is pointless
And souvenirs of memories
been thrown up in the toilet
And I ain't got time for dissertations
Discussions of the past
It's like the try to test my patience
my eyes refuse to dilate
Getting high in desperation
I finally see it clear
The beaten path,
the broken pavement
And I've been fighting off my demons
taking time to find myself
Now that I’ve finally found my freedom
But I stick to the path I've chosen
I know I've lost my way but I can get it back I know it
(yuhhh)

Drawde(Hook):
And I hope you Find Your Way
I hope you Find Your Wayyyyy
(even if you get lost sometimes)
(I hope you find your way)
And I hope you Find Your Way
(When everything has gone astray)
I hope you Find Your Wayyyyy
(I really really hope you Find Your Way)

Find Your Way -- Zilla ft. Drawde

3rd Track on the Growin Up EP

Strangers
Zilla(Intro):
It’s unfortunate when you’re fortunate
Then sh*t just up and changes
Lookin around searching for 
the right time to say
I miss you 
but I’m glad you’ve made it
Used to be so close
But its different now
Look at all the new faces
Think about the old days 
but that’s finished now
It feels like we’re strangers…

Zilla(Hook):
I remember when it used to feel like heaven
So how the hell did we drift apart
(strangers)
Been a long time since we said hello
But im sure I’ll see you at the local bar…
(stranger)

Zilla(Verse):
When I see your face
I always think about it
Then I think again
Is she thinkin bout me?
Livin life without me
Getting high without me
She’s alright without me
Man I highly doubt it…
Tried to get it touch 
but you aint hit me back
Never cared and you showin that
Hit your line 
but its disconnected
getting tired of getting
disrespected
think about the times I killed your stress
kissed your lips
took off your dress
made you drip
felt so wet
think about the good to forget regrets
2nd chances
Take the risk
I did you wrong
And it makes me sick
I’ve contemplated
Complicated
Situations
Living daily 
filled with hatred

Vita Solo(Bridge):
I've thought about it
And the way it could have been...
(yeahhh)
My heart is open
in the worst kind of way....
(andddd)
There aint a thing that I can do
There"s nothing left for me to lose
I don't know why I had to chose
And now all we are is

Zilla(Hook):
I remember when it used to feel like heaven
So how the hell did we drift apart
(strangers)
Been a long time since we said hello
But I’m sure I’ll see you at the local bar…
(stranger)



Zilla(Verse):
And now it’s been some time
I’ve had some time to think
I’ve opened up my eyes
And now I’ve finally seen
That that space between
You and me..
Was what we needed
Just to breathe..
Take your space…
I can do it without ya
Hate it when you yell
But the silence is louder
Thinkin bout mistakes
Wasting too many hours
And I’m lookin in the mirror
I’m ashamed of the coward
Ugh
So now im taking my life back
Been a hard time
Been a long climb
But now im back on the right track
Pray to angels
Need a savior
Speak to God
He’s like hey there stranger
Losing sight of all that matters
Goota break the chain 
gotta break the pattern
Please!!!
Dear God I’m here on my knees
Didn’t see you much 
But you saved me..
So how can I not believe
I’ve got a greater purpose
To be a greater person
So I’m always working
Cuz I know it’s worth it
And I’m always learning
Cuz I’m tired of hurting
man I’m tired of searching
man I’m tired of searching

Zilla(Hook):
I remember when it used to feel like heaven
So how the hell did we drift apart
(strangers)
Been a long time since we said hello
But I’m sure I’ll see you at the local bar…
(stranger)

4th Track on the Growin Up EP

That’s Just Part of Growing Up
Zilla(Verse):
I’m always lost
So I’ve been feeling homeless
It’s the psychosis, The diagnosis
That makes me feel hopeless
It’s like I’m under hypnosis
Is it the weed I’ve been smoking?
Cuz honestly it’s just my version of coping
And I’ve been searching and roaming
I’ve waited long for the moment
Just like the Persians and Trojans
I’ll take on any opponent
And while the topic is open
Another thing that I’ve noticed
These parasites and these locusts
Will eat you up
And that’s bogus.

Zilla(Hook):
So I gotta keep my head high
(gotta keep my head high)
And I gotta keep my chin up
(chin up)
A good thing is hard to come by
(come by)
That’s why you’ll never see me giving up
(giving up)
And I only got 1 life
(I only got 1 life)
I could never know enough
(know enough)
But I can’t seem to get it right
(get it right)
Man I guess that part of Growing Up
B.Moore(Verse):
Having more talks with God
(yuhhh)
Every day I pray more
Realizing its something
I never had to pay for
So no receipts to keep
I’m Pistol Pete on beats
I’m in the game
You can see the cleats
When I was younger
There’s plenty people never showed up
But life never slowed up
This the hand you gon deal me
Then sho nuff
Yelling that’s real
That’s why I couldn’t wait to Grow Up
And thin lines and must haves is madness
When you in the paint 
the boards
gotta crash um
like you aint got breaks on the Aston’s
or you on the rope like Cassius
and cash in
(ehh)
And so I gotta keep my head high
I gotta get my dough up
And every time they see the kid
They yelling damn Mo
You done Growed Up

Zilla(Hook):
So I gotta keep my head high
(gotta keep my head high)
And I gotta keep my chin up
(chin up)
A good thing is hard to come by
(come by)
That’s why you’ll never see me giving up
(giving up)
And I only got 1 life
(I only got 1 life)
I could never know enough
(know enough)
But I can’t seem to get it right
(get it right)
Man I guess that part of Growing Up

Zilla(Bridge):
I can’t let um
Break my mind
I’ve come too damn far
Just need to take my time
See I’m a mastermind
As good as advertised
But I’m aware that heaven’s not the only afterlife

I can’t let um
Break my mind
I’ve come too damn far
Just need to take my time
See I’m a mastermind
As good as advertised
But I’m aware that heaven’s not the only afterlife


Zilla(Hook):
So I gotta keep my head high
(gotta keep my head high)
And I gotta keep my chin up
(chin up)
A good thing is hard to come by
(come by)
That’s why you’ll never see me giving up
(giving up)
And I only got 1 life
(I only got 1 life)
I could never know enough
(know enough)
But I gotta get sh*t right
(get it right)
That’s Just Part of Growing Up
