I see you across the room and
I come over to say hi
I see you seeing me and then I see your smile
At me come dance with me
Can't you see we're meant to be
Baby I want to be with you
There's nothing else I would rather do
I said I want to be with you so tell me what do I have to do
I asked your name and you told me Jane
Grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes
I asked what you see you said you see me seeing you
For the rest of the night so I took your hand
And then we danced like the only ones under the lights
You and me can't you see that I am where you should be
Baby I want to be with you there's nothing else I would rather do
I said I want to be with you so tell me what do I have to do
I said I want to be with you there's nothing else I would rather do
baby I want to be with you there's nothing else I would rather do
I said I want to be with you so tell me what do I have to do do yea

Let me Be

I have days that I wish I wasn't here
Gameshow smile while I'm holding back tears
I been doin life like this for years
Long enough to see my hopes and dreams disappear
Always feeling anxious bout the future
Always ruminating bout the past
Always overthinking my decisions
Started out first and I'm ending up dead last
How do I tell them life is heavy
I'm hanging on by a fraying string
I would yell the story if you let me
But you would rather just let me be
You would rather just let me be
Turns out the nice guy always loses
People pleasing made me lose myself
Working to be liked while feeling hated
Not knowing if it's me or something else
Still feeling lonely in a packed room
Hangin by myself after the show
I just sent some drinks to table 15
While I stayed at the bar to drink alone
How do I tell them life is heavy
I'm hanging on by a fraying string
I would yell the story if you let me
But you would rather just let me be
You would rather just let me be
How do I tell them life is heavy
I'm hanging on by a fraying string
I would yell the story if you let me
But you would rather just let me be
You would rather just let me be

Still Here (IMZ remix)

Working hard to be the highest version of myself
Keeps me moving moving slowly in a place that's not the best
If I move more selfish, I could get further ahead
Making headway heading skyward, heavy, lifting, making bread
Instead, my bread cook too slow got me burying my head
Heading hardly hardly making headway barely making bread
I wonder if I'm cooking or just heating dough instead
I'm trying to make a cake but I keep getting bread.
But still, I keeps it moving because I got some mouths to feed
I stay focused on survival man it ain't no time for greed.
I'm training just like Goku, but my life's 100 G from
Outer space somewhere on Namek, trying to find a sensu bean
I'm gon drop it I'm off-topic man you know just what I mean
Playing my position finding passive income streams
That's the magic riddle like my homie Timothy
I'm always focused on my bread yo you can call me Sara Lee I'm
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
I took a seven year hiatus just to cement my foundation
I was shooting in the gym like Omar, Epson and Sanaai Lathan
Fighting off my depression, staving off my starvation
After careful contemplation, I move with no hesitation
You've got to understand that being great is not a fluke
Making choices failing forward working hard to be the truth
Showing love to people when you know they love ain't true
But I'm gonna show up pay and dap you because I know you need too
I've learned to be 100 times more cautious when I move
Keep emotions out of business learned to separate the two
I've seen prodigies miss opportunities to be prodigious
Sanctified and saved turn away from their religion
Preachers left the pulpits convicted by their convictions
When greed is the motivator ambition taints your intentions
Sharks and hyenas smile biggest when they're forgiven
Blood dripping in the water be careful about where you're swimming
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone
In my zone all alone

Its Been a couple years since years since we've spoken
Been a couple years since we shook hands
Been a couple years since we drank together
Been a couple years since we been friends
Last time we spoke we weren't speaking
You made a Martyr of yourself
While you were on the cross and bleeding
I prayed you'd put your pride on the shelf
But that didn't help No.
But Honestly I should thank you
Honestly I should thank you
Honestly I should thank you
Thank you so much thank you so much
Flash forward to three years Later
Getting close to where I Wanna Be
And if I didn't have such a crazy story
Then maybe this life would never be
I bet you'll never know just how grateful
I thank God for you everyday
Without the Rage to fuel my fire
I would've never had a torch to light the way
So I say So I say
Honestly I should thank you
Honestly I should thank you
Honestly I should thank you
Thank you so much thank you so much
