C’mon.
Thinking about you coming … you set my body humming.
I wanna take you every day. You make me break like unh.
Everyday.
I’m telling you the story of how you make me more me.
I wanna taste you every day. You make me break like unh.
Everyday.
The deeper we go, the higher we fly.
The higher we fly, the deeper we go.
The deeper we fly, the higher we go.
You make me break me every day.
Everyday.

You Make Me Wanna

Sometimes when I’m alone, I get a little crazy, and I need to reach out.
‘Cause my mind – it goes to places it shouldn’t go, ‘cause you make me …
You make me wanna think about my life.
Oh, don’t take it all away, no.
When I said so long to you, I know that it was the right thing.
But now our loving is through, I don’t know what is happening.
You make me want to think about all the things that we never had.
You make me want to think about all the times that we were glad
to be together.
You make me wanna think about my life.
Oh, don’t take it all away, no.
And now I’m out in the world, I don’t know how I got to be here.
I’m writing all of the words to show me how I could see clear.
You make me want to think about all the things
that could have been better.
You make me want to think about all the times that we were glad
to be together.
You make me wanna think about my life.
Think about it…. You make me wanna be with you again.
Where did I go wrong?

Let It Wreck Your Mind

I took one for me….
Open my mouth trying to find a way to rhyme.
First I gotta have something to say, but I’m not thinking straight.
I’m blinking eight times a second ‘cause life is wrecking my mind.
Life is wrecking my mind….
I’m not just a wannabe, I’m’a feel it.
Music is a part of me and I’m’a reveal it.
I put it out for the world – I don’t care if you steal it.
Open that seal and let it wreck your mind.
Let it wreck your mind….
Why come and step if you’re not gonna go for it.
Give it all you got or you’ll get nothing to show for it.
Be ready to take every bold body blow for it.
Open yourself and let it wreck your mind.
I took one for me.
I been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for
No one, nobody – is gonna show some love for me
If I be hating and hating and hating and hating and what?
I gotta give what I wanna get.
But until I got that set, I’m gonna make the safer bet.
I’ll take one for me.
I’m an imitator innovator.
I took one for me….
Let it wreck your mind….

You know if you break my heart I'll go, but I'll be back again.
‘Cuase I told you once before goodbye, but I came back again.
I love you so. I'm the one who wants you.
Yes, I'm the one who wants you, oh ho, oh ho.
Oh, you could find better things to do than to break my heart again.
This time I will try to show that I'm not trying to pretend.
I thought that you would realize
that if I ran away from you that you would want me too.
But I got a big surprise, oh oh, oh ho.
Oh, you could find better things to do than to break my heart again.
This time I will try to show that I'm not trying to pretend.
I wanna go but I hate to leave you.
You know I hate to leave you , oh ho, oh ho.
Oh, you, if you break my heart I'll go, but I'll be back again.
I’ll be back again.

Sing Owwt
03:37

A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
A little bit of tit and a little bit of tat – a-sing owwt! A-sing owwt!
Every little thing I do is magic. I’m so good it’s tragic.
It’s epic, and you want more more more.
Every little thing I do is magic. I’m so good it’s tragic.
It’s epic, and it turns you on.
I’m in a good place doing a good thing.
I’m in a footrace ooh and I’m winning.
I’m making one move – it’s itty-bitty,
and then watch me take over this city.
It’s not a master plan I’m never faster than I gotta be,
cuz no one’s faster than me.
I’m the third eye’s third eye, yeah I know the scheme.
I say it cuz it makes me sound supreme.
Like I’m IN a roller coaster inching up the track -
going slow tick forward no going back.
I’m holdin’ on so quietly - the riot be rilin' up inside of me.
Every inch up there’s a little tick,
but I can’t hear the sound cuz my beats are thick.
And when I make up it to the highest beam –
hands up and it’s time to scream – I gotta sing out!
Every little thing I do is magic. I’m so good it’s tragic.
It’s epic, and you want more more more.
Every little thing I do is magic. I’m so good it’s tragic.
It’s epic, and it turns you on.
It’s like I DON’T know what I’m thinkin’ til I say it out LOUD.
I’m formulating meaning straight as it comes out of my mouth.
My BEATS are so THICK that I can’t stay down –
and you can’t escape either cuz it’s surround sound.
I’m a little bit crazy.
Weird shit doesn’t phase me
You’d have to amaze me
Like maybe be Jay Z
Shout out all the ways we
Turn nights into days - see
But I’m into grays,
Shadow’s where my mind plays free
Say the phrase in thirteen
Different ways please.
Oh you gotta sing owwt. Sing owwt!
Let me hear you sing owwt!
Or as they say in French: “Chantez!”
Or as they say in Spanish: “Lo cantas!”
Or as they say in Chinese: “Chang chulai!”
Or as they say in Swedish: “Sjunger ut!”
They say it in Korean: “Nolaehanda!”
They say it in Italian: :Cantalo!”
They say it in Japanese: “Utaimasu deru!”
They say it in Swahili: “Unaimba!”
A little bit of this - little bit of that. A-sing owwt! Sing owwt!
Every little thing I do is magic. I’m so good it’s tragic.
It’s epic, and you want more more more.
Every little thing I do is magic. I’m so good it’s tragic.
It’s epic, and it turns you on.
They say in Esperanto: “Kantas!”
They say in Hungarian: “Kienekeled!”
They’re sayin’ it in Russian: ”Poyesh!”
Or as they say in Klingon: “Qaleghqa'!”
A little bit of this - little bit of that. A-sing owwt! Sing owwt!

Wisdom through repetition is my mission.
Like a Zen koan about a man fishing.
More time doing, less time wishing.
Success through failures is my tradition.
The power of repetition.
I got a learning curve that’s as hard as hell.
I start off slow so it’s hard to tell.
But when I get going you can feel me swell,
and I drop like a bombshell.
The power of repetition.
My first name is a verb. “Verb” is a cognate of the word “word”.
Forget everything you ever heard. The best MCs are the biggest nerds.
The power of repetition.
Wisdom through repetition is my mission.
More time doing, less time wishing.
If we ever need to remember to learn to know to feel to absorb to grow to change our condition, we need that repetition.
Two years out and I got this down cold.
Ten years out and I still don’t feel old.
Twenty years down and I’m still going strong.
It’s the everlasting now if you love it all along.
Wisdom through repetition is my mission.
Like a Zen koan about a man fishing.
More time doing, less time wishing.
Success through failures is my tradition.
Two years out and I got this down cold.
Ten years out and I still don’t feel old.
Twenty years down and I’m still going strong.
It’s the everlasting now if you love it all along.
The everlasting – the power of repetition….
