I don’t like the confrontation
That’s gon’ take its
Place in this relationship
Stopped by to say
‘Can I explain’
Gotta be more careful who you fuckin’ with
Now I’m choked up but I’m stuck here
Can’t leave, seventeen with no whip
Kicked me to the corner on the backstreet
So imma take the taxi
Imma take the Taxi
Tell me why the rage
All this pent-up anger
I can see it your face
This was going amazing
I don’t mean to stress you
But where your patience?
I’ve got too many questions
To be thrown a maybe
You make it so hard
All this back and forth
Now I got no time
Cause I really know my worth
Even though I wanna leave
Why this shit still hurt?
Didn’t even get to speak
And now I’m sitting the curb
So Imma take the taxi
Take…..The
Sour look out yo’ face
You….Fell
For it when you took my bait
Can you hop in the taxi
Can you hop in the taxi
Ride in the backseat
I can show you ‘round in my taxi
Can you hop in the taxi
In my taxi
I don’t like the confrontation
That’s gon’ take its
Place in this relationship
Stopped by to say
‘Can I explain’
Gotta be more careful who you’re fuckin’ with
Now I’m choked up but I’m stuck here
Can’t leave, seventeen with no whip
Kicked me to the corner on the backstreet
So imma take the taxi
Imma take the Taxi

I found home
I snatched the bag, I went to work
Gave up the sadness, chose my purpose
Opened up, and now I ain’t stone cold
I learned to love, got rid of habits
Now I’m happy I can say that I’ve grown
I’m home, yea
Now I ain’t the same
I don’t mind the change
Growing up might save me
I’m tryna be the greatest
Now I ain’t the same
I don’t mind the change
Growing up might save me
I’m tryna be the greatest
The greatest, The greatest
The greatest
Meditation when I wake up
Don’t need your savior
Love and power, paper
That’s all I need, I need
Lay In uncomfort for my safety
Death before dishonor to my name
Looking for ways to keep flame up
I move in peace, yea
Now I’m not the same
Now I ain’t the same, yea
I don’t mind the change, yea
Growing up might save me
I’m tryna be the greatest
Now I ain’t the same, yea
I don’t mind the change, yea
Growing up might save me
I’m tryna be the greatest
The greatest, The greatest
The greatest
I’m tryna be the greatest
The greatest, The greatest
The greatest

Can I catch a break?
My GPAs been dropping lately
Don’t wanna face it
Ignorance is bliss, and I’m just tryna graduate
(that’s crazy!)
I got two years to get my ….together
Feeling like a fool, I was doing so cool in December
I don’t know
Everything thing is falling down, falling down
Hopefully this music saves me, I don’t know what I would do
If I end up filing papers, I’d figure that my life was through
Hopefully there’ll be some changes, I’m just tryna make some moves
And groove, and groove.
(I’m just tryna groove!)

You’re a criminal
Searching from place to place
For an angle
Nothing but danger
You’ve been on the move
But I know every crook and corner
I could teach you things you thought you knew
Grab ahold love
Let’s make our move
Baby let me
Take you places you ain’t been
I just wanna
Runaway away away
Baby let me
Take you places you ain’t been
I just wanna
Runaway away away
catch me if you can babe
Don’t kill the flow
let go and dance
Feeling the music
Slow motion movement
We’re on a roll
Tell me if you want it baby I can take control
Keep up to the tempo don’t you drag to slow
Cause you’ll get lost in what I left behind
Don’t lose your mind
Baby let me
Take you places you ain’t been
I just wanna
Runaway away away
Baby let me
Take you places you ain’t been
I just wanna
Runaway away away

4 Walls, 1 Me
02:29

Could find me crowded
I’ve been aligned
By my surroundings
Set me free
Of my inability
To be alone
4 walls, 1 me
Be a soldier
You don’t have to cry no more, no
Be a soldier
You don’t have to cry no more no
4 walls,1 me
One, two step with my shadow
singing for the ghosts in back
late nights they get too quiet
Maybe if I imagine it
All Run out of distractions now
find me asleep when the sun’s on high
Digging out secrets, tell no lies
Human as ever, so
Set me free
Of my inability
To be alone
4 walls, 1 me

I don’t wanna know
Why you’ve been talking less
Is someone else around?
I won’t dare to call
Your voice is burning through my cell
Can’t bare the sound
Big pressure on me, feeling like a diamond
Ain’t easy feeling low while you’re thriving
Haven’t slept, cold sweats, I got nightmares
Still searching for the back of my eyelids
Im fiendin' for some signs, I can’t find none
You’re good at redirection to the next act
Wanted reasons to leave, still tryna find one
Only tension in my presence, I ain’t cut slack
Karma’s flipped my line
Now I’m playing blind
‘Cause I don’t wanna know
Why you’ve been talking less
Is someone else around?
I won’t dare to call
Your voice is burning through my cell
Can’t bare the sound
I’m a captive
I don’t trust my intuition mistaken for paranoia
I’ve been lacking
Trying to just ignore it
Maybe it’s not important
Maybe I do deserve it
Don’t go asking why I’m mad
You know
It all
Comes back
‘Cause I don’t wanna know
Why you’ve been talking less
Is someone else around?
I won’t dare to call
Your voice is burning through my cell
Can’t bare the sound
I don’t wanna know
Why you’ve been talking less
Is someone else around?
I won’t dare to call
Your voice is burning through my cell
Can’t bare the sound

I’ve become slave to the moon
Pushing and pulling these thoughts about ya
We could talk if you’d come through come through
I’ll entertain play the fool
Anticipate the bad news
Cause in this gam I always lose
I lose, lose

When did this get so violent ?
I miss the point of you
I had, baby
It’s sad, baby
I think we should
So tell me if you wanna just
Break It off
Break it off
Saw this coming from a distance
Told you I was always right
Wish I could change your decision
Honestly I’d rather not
Maybe its for best
Thats we just
Put this to a stop
So tell me if you wanna just
Break It off
Break it off
You come around conveniently
Nothing I do could ever please ya
I’m waiting for you to
Break It off
Break it off

Photograph this moment, hold on
You’ve got a hold on me
Peek through the lens and snap my smile
Forever holding me
Hold on
Don’t go, I mean goodbye
We had a fun time, huh?
Did you feel alive?
Tell me, did you feel alive?
Tell me, did you feel alive?
( did ya?)
I got photos
I guess I’ll keep ahold of
‘Cause they make me feel alive
They make me feel alive
They make me feel alive
They make me feel alive, yea
