Part 1: DUSK
[Intro: Babyboy]
A child is born
Through love, joy
Blood, sweat, tears, and all of that
He doesn't know who he wants to be
He doesn't need to
Do you?
[Verse 1: Babyboy]
Put down the gun
Nobody cane from your day
No, it ain't fun
All this time spent out your pocket
You lost it
All this time spent making dockets
Exhausted, exhausted
[Skit]
Babyboy - "Nah nah alright, I will I will. Alright I love you, bye."
Loui - "Look bruh, you good?"
Babyboy - "Yea...just my mom bruh."
Loui - "She was mad at you?"
Babyboy - "Nah she was just talking bout some shit bruh. I don't know man, she's always trying to treat me like a lil kid."
Part 2: DAWN
[Verse 1: Loui]
Yea, I’m getting too old for this bullshit
I know that something gonna have change
Something gonna have to change
I just a need little space
I’m always losing my place
Always looking for the finer things
Can someone give me a little patience
If you want a girl then just take it
Left my heart broken Vacant
[Chorus: Jody Fontaine]
Say you never want to live like that no more
Say you never want to live like that no more
Say you want to learn to give and give back some more
Say you never want to live like that no more
Say you never want to live like that
Say you never want to live like that no more
Say you want to learn to give and give back some more
Say you never want to live like that, like that
[Verse 2: Mick Anthony]
I could see it in your eyes
I could see it in the way you lie
Yes I'm fucked up
And I'm faded
But I'm waiting
For my graces
To arrive
Mama, do you wanna, go home?
[Verse 3: Jody Fontaine]
It’s catastrophic tragic nonsense swimming down the block
Bent & crawling like my skin after those capsules i had popped
Mouth foaming leaning back feeling empty i’m in shock
I hit the deck my shirt wet and it was only 4 o clock
I’m just a sick twisted piece of shit who hates to impose
I ain’t start off on a high horse but look how i rose
I’m just a flower in the concrete beggin' to grow
Thought they cracked me snapped back on em look how i glow
And if i’ll make it who knows
I’m just tryna get on
Pen moving swift my fingertips worn to the bone
I wish i had a clone
So y’all would leave me alone
Put my heart into the music but u can’t have my soul
[Chorus: Jody Fontaine]
Say you never want to live like that no more
Say you never want to live like that no more
Say you want to learn to give and give back some more
Say you never want to live like that no more
Say you never want to live like that
Say you never want to live like that no more
Say you want to learn to give and give back some more
Say you never want to live like that, like that
