I was running through the woods,
you were on my side
No guns between you and I
Now its better to hide
in the alleys
Now I can never see
the stars in the sky
Forget about natural light
Look for something to eat
in the alleys
Have you left off your mind?
Have you become divine?
Why do I still pray for your smile?
There are so many hides (animal skins)
in the alleys
Limbs die and envy wings that fly
How long can love hide in the alleys?
I don't want to die
I don't want to die
No I don't want to die
No I don't want to die
I want to stay alive
I want to stay alive
No I don't want to die...

I get no younger, still no regrets
I kiss my lover, let the moment stretch
I don't know where "here" goes, I care sometimes
but I don't want to "define" all the time
There is so much room
In moments when you
feel good vibes come through
and the reins* can't hold on you
Don't you feel free
when the hands of time move slowly?
Don't you feel free
on time?
Forget my number,
then that we've met
You close my summer
and there aren't many left
I'm finally passed it now
Never rider don't you gas me now
Get a grip that won't drag me down
I'm out of touch can you feel me now
woah
There is so much room
in moments when you
feel good vibes come through
and the reins* can't hold on you
Don't you feel free
when the hands of time move slowly?
Don't you feel free
on time?

All I knew was Sin

I don't ever change
I don't ever change
I just stay the same
There are better men
All I knew is sin
All I want is win
Chemicals in my brain make my skin paper thin
And she say all I need is him
through that thick and thin
She be like kin
She be wife then
But I tell you I don't ever change
I don't never change
Two lines in my lane
Im always on flame and I'm tired
I don't ever change
I don't ever change
Forever I've been the same
There are better men
All I knew was sin
All I want is win
You can say to chill but that's the state of mind I'm in
All I do is slay
Low I never lay
Always shooting straight but they come at me sideways
Running in a race
Stuck in one place
They say just take it easy but I tell you all I knew was sin
in my life, my life.
I don't never change
I don't never change
Vibing on my pain
Grind and maintain
Imma be "the man"
The realest one I can
Let the lights dim
I'll be right then
I just needed chill,
space to keep it real
All white fits on because that's the way I feel
I could fall in love with
a fresh start in the morning
and no one in my corner
tryna push my back against the wall
All I knew was sin
All I want is win (x4)
I don't ever change
I don't ever change
I just do that thang
Go find a better man
I just want to live
This you do not get
If you don't see it right now
Thats it
Imma elevate
Carve like figure skates
Hustle out the gates
cause I've got a million ways
I can never stray
I cannot betray
I study the game
I'm about to play

For the Woman

Im a man, I'm sorry too
I wish I looked more like you
Looking off the rooftop
and seeing every woman
I see you not as property
free is all you've got to be
you are strong and still soft
I did it for the woman
I was born a broken thing
I only ever wanted to help a dream
I don't only live for me
I'm living for the woman
Long live the woman (x2)

To not know & own it

Keep your eyes on the prize
Feet on the staircase
Be a slave until
you think freely
Just to not know and own it
Just to show up for yourself
Just to not know and own it
Just to be true to me
and all I know
is I don't belong home
not right now
Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your feet in the ice skates
be a maze until
you reach the end
Just to not know and own it
Just to show up for yourself
Just to not know and own it
Just to be true to me
all I know
is I don't belong home
not right now
Here they come, stand your ground
Beedy eyed little judges
5 seconds on the shot clock
Mamba* taught me well
Just to not know and own it
Just to show up for yourself
Just to not know and own it
Just to be truly me
(Just to be who I be)
and all I know is I don't belong home
not right now, not right now
all I know is I don't belong home
not right now
* - without question the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball. Kobe Bryant.
