From my one square foot window I see outside


Ive got chains on my feet but not in my mind
Ill be dancing all day see the sun outside
Dont know how long it will be cant stop me
I have a spirit indestructible
A heart that loving was made for
A body thats a miracle
I have a spirit indestructible
A heart that was made pure
Unbreakable and thats for sure
Unshakeable so give me more
A-E-I-O-U
Through my tired eyes I phase out the rain
With a meditation I erase my pain
Theres a rythym flowing through every vein
And the melody is never-ending
And though they may and though they may
Take you away take you away
Youll never break youll never break
And though they may and though they may
Take you away take you away
Theyll never break theyll never break you

They say I was always destined for fortune and fame


Now that Ive gotten what I wanted everythings
changed
And now Im living the
High life high life
I never looked back once I left my hometown
High life high life
I left behind everybody I know
And now Im singing like
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
And everybody sings along like
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Be careful when youre wishing for the high life
They say you have to come clean with your past to
move on
All of my dreams have come true but something still
feels wrong
But Im still living the
High life high life
I never looked back once I left my hometown
High life high life
Said goodbye to everybody I know
Everybodys dreaming of the high life
It may look good from the outside
But all I really wanted was a good life

With a memory reel of all the highlights


All I want is to sleep good at night
Look myself in the mirror knowing that I live right
So when Im six feet in the ground
Ill be singing like
Ace Primo Verse:
A million dollars in palm
Not a worry in the world , thats everything I want
Im wishing I was there I feel like its where I belong
I wanna be able to go pay all the bills for my mom
And make her smile
Pick up my family and take em out
On me
And my over capacitated bank account
Money is all I think about
Of my life its a highlight
Tired of being low Im ready for the high life
Look at me now
Look at how I get down
Stubs and Wooten on my feet
Im the flyest youngin in town
But Im loosin it
My vision has just become an illusion
And Now
my highlife is low again
Struggling to hold it in I was on a mission
And messed everything up making all the
wrong decisions
I know its not the end Well then again it might be
And its sucks god forbid you ever end up like me
And Ill be singing like
And everybody will be singing like
Be careful when youre wishing for the high life

Cant start a fire without a flame

Cant play the part without a game


Cant feel the love without the pain
Cant talk to me if you talk the same
When youre burned out baby you gotta come down
Thought you had it figured out
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something out of nothing
Cant have a drink without a well
Cant fall asleep without a spell
Cant feel the wind without a kite
Cant pack your bags without a knife
Nas Verse:
Ayo tom ford shades on cuervo and a shot glass Fly
eyes pretty smile plus she got class Ima show you a lil
something But heres the preview When I speak sparks fly
like grinding metal Im lethal She hot like liquid metal in
T2 Whether flats or stiletto red carpet or ghetto Baby Im
nasty nas I just had to meet you Lets wash that back with
a glass of screaming eagle Painting pictures writing my illest rhymes on a Easel Ladies on checking asking when ima
see you Miami penthouse suite crazy with the sea view Still
keep it hood like the streets I used to creep threw QB

Climb a mountain swim the seven seas


Get your body to look like Hercules
Jump out an airplane with a parachute
Fly up and away on a hot air balloon
We dont know where it all ends
Some say its almost over almost over
If this is it then baby why arent I on your shoulder
On your shoulder
In this lifetime
I want you to be mine
Cuz I took a long look at my bucket list
And I saw that at the bottom it said our first kiss and
Whoa Im running out of time
Whoa Im running out of time
Get on your boots and visit the North Pole
Try every sport until you score a goal
Follow the path of a butterfly
Go to Ground Zero and do nothing but cry
This is not a dare
Not some trick of a daredevil
Id trade in my wildest dreams
For your forever

Everybodys coming out


Glittering and screaming so loud
I just want to walk down your road
I just want to dance slow

Baby I know youre outside


In here its warm and dry
Got feelings that Ive got to try expressing
Like a language that I share with you
Lets talk in the special way we do
Dont want to be anywhere else but here with you
Feels so good

Of all Ive known


All Ive seen
Youre The Most Beautiful Thing
Everyone is looking for it
Searching until they are hurting for it
Stop looking in the mirror
Weve got just what we came with
Of all Ive known
All Ive seen
Youre The Most Beautiful Thing
And I want you to sing for us
I want you to sing for us
Need you to sing for us
Everything I know feels alright
I wont search no more tonight
Of all Ive known

All I dream
Youre The Most Beautiful Thing

Turn every tear on my face to gold


Make the skin on the back of my neck turn cold
Need to feel my bare feet on your road
I will never again walk alone
If you question my faith
Id still believe
Put a knife in my heart I wouldnt bleed
This is brand new air that Im breathing
Im breathing
Show me all of your miracles
Im totally inside your waterfall
Never felt something this real before
I believe in all your miracles
Take me up to the places you live
I know that youve got so much more to give
I know that youre not meant to worship
But Im losing my sense of control
If you question my faith
Id still believe
I need this air so desperately so I can breathe
I feel it in my heart and my mind and my body and
soul
I feel all your power and Im losing all control
Im weightless
This space is
Divine divine divine !

The day is getting late


Its a lot to take
Looking at your face
It hides nothing
Emotions are recycled
I open the window
I dont know about you
But Im feeling stifled
Then I get just a glimpse
I see where our love is
Please look into my eyes
Baby you gotta try to
Dial into me
Dial into me
Dial into me
Dial into me
Dont talk in circles
You dont know what to say
How did we get this way
Its like we just press play
And run on automatic (it gets so static)
I can barely breathe
Youre filling up with steam
You say its about me
But Im just setting boundaries
Then I see a bright light
I see its worth the fight
I know well get it right

Baby our love can shine if you


Dial into me
Dial into me
Dial into me
Dial into me
Dont walk in circles
Were after the same things
Bursting at the same seams
I cannot carry the whole load here
No I cant tell you what that means
Im gonna carry my load
If you promise not to take your eyes off me
Dont take your eyes off me
Dont take your eyes off me
Lets break the circle

I want everything to be perfect


Pick you apart at the seams
Drown you out if I dont want to hear you
Crush every single one of your dreams
Im going under the water its pulling me down
I cant help myself
Im my own worst enemy enemy enemy
Itll be the end of me, end of me, end of me
I wanted to go the distance
I met everything with resistance
I pulled the pin out on the grenade
Burned down everything I had made
As I struggle in here I see angels near
Cant help myself

Im my own worst enemy enemy enemy


Itll be the end of me end of me end of me
And the coast is clear on me, clear on me, clear on me
Im my own worst enemy enemy
Im an open field

This is the last light


At the end of the day
Youre on a long flight
Taking your last bite
Of the good life before it goes away

I put on my armour
Strap on my boots
Look around to see which weapons Ill choose
Im going for medals, decoration
Im pulling out from my lonely station
So Ill call you if I need help
Ill call you if I need help
Ill call you if I need help
Im my own worst enemy enemy enemy
Itll be the end of me end of me end of me
And the coast is clear on me clear on me clear on me
Im my own worst enemy
Enemy in an open field
Just leave me alone here
Just leave me alone here
Alone here
Just leave me alone

Whered you go oh whered you go my friends,


my friends
You said you would be there till the end, the end
Knock you down you get back up again, again
And when they run after you
You just run from them

With my head in my hands

And then Ill pretend
This is the last time

That Ill take you back when you say youre sorry
Dont leave me no more
Every time you walk out the door
I dont know if youre gonna come back around here anymore
Dont leave me no more
Every time you walk out the door
I dont know if youre gonna come back to me here anymore
Dont leave
Dont leave
I used to be a queen
But now Im a shadow of me
I deserve more but love is a chore
And wanting you has made me so weak
Im such a fool for you
And you keep playing and playing around
Until the sun comes down and rises again in the morning
And my heart keeps breaking and breaking
And Im tired of wasting and wasting away for a cure
My heart keeps breaking and breaking and breaking down
You keep playing and playing and playing around

BE OK

I was on the grind I could hardly find


Time to be with you
You were always there but I never cared
Until you went away

Thinking back to then


What I should have done
To show you my love
I cant believe I let you
I cant believe I let you slip away
Are you gonna be ok?
Ive been doing so much thinking about you
Fall asleep and I start dreaming about you
Are you gonna be ok?
Ive been doing so much thinking about you
Fall asleep and I start dreaming
You were always mine then there came a time
You needed to be free
I didnt understand it wasnt in the plans
But I let you be
They say that if they love you and you let them go
Theyll fly back one day
I cant believe I let you
I cant believe I let you slip away
You always were so carefree in your way
You never let it get to you that way
And now you are so far
Youre so far away
I hope you know what to do
Ill be thinking about you
Thinking about you

Meet me in a dream
Meet me in a song

Or in a melody
That lasts too long
But stop
Invading my thoughts
Meet me in a crowd
We wont know if its real
Because were not allowed
To show how we feel
But stop
Invading my thoughts
I know you dont mean to
And all my fronting you see through
But stop
Just stop
Invading my thoughts
