Written by Ray Noble and Performed by Hadda Brooks I hadn't anyone Till you I was a lonely one Till you I used to lie awake and wonder If there could ever be A someone in this wide world Just made for me And now I see I had to save my love For you I never gave my love Till you And through my lonely heart demanding it Cupid took a hand in it I hadn't anyone Till you And through my lonely heart demanding it Cupid took a hand in it I hadn't anyone Till you

With her eyes glowing for direction and both our minds showing lost connection I saw our lives rowing towards the edge of where relations see there ending and ain't rescue crew to stop the sinking when your 20,000 leagues below the sea where that despair inside of your heart becomes hard to repair and each glare you each share suddenly turns to bleak stares and every word you utter begins sounding like seashells, you repel, she rebels, till you understand what she bears, and she's wears her flesh with uh disguise that she's your woman but your aware of that omen and you know that there's someone else who owns her heart as u continue drifting down those lonely parts you sing a song that you hope she can hear and the chorus starts Hook:All that i want is you to be with me And these days under the shade is killing me feels like I've been plagued with an ill disease on that train to willoughby all this angst that's filling me and this rage spills on the page when I ink soliloquies that I'm thinking will appease these demons and enemies that's seeping my energy and creeping within my dreams repeating in every scene but this isn't the silver screen everything's real as it seems and the more this sorrow rings it rips me at the seams I'm simply trying to breathe and wincing from debris as it hits me on my sleeve where my feelings used to be I'm tempted to believe that the only way through this grief is to blow away memories that I stowaway in my brain as I float away in this rain and the pain starts to settle in the teardrops create the river that i paddle in I hear the wind blow just before a message in from god say "Stop bellowing because she'll never hear u when u say that" Hook

I hear you calling my name, trapped behind a wall in my brain, lost in a frame of a picture of pain that I painted with the remains of every word that you sang before no more you became, and it's intact and engrained, as a stain of my imagery insane it has driven me through blame until my guilty plea's, becomes nothing more but refrain's in my memory some days the only way I can be saved is a guillotine, it's killing me physically and mentally knowing I had the chance to save your life before it slipped away but I wasn't old enough to understand what death was I didn't know that when the spirit falls it never gets up, all I remember is thinking that you would get up and standing there paralyzed looking on in fear of the unknown, confused thinking whats wrong? my auntie crying to the sky for you to come home, but you were long gone, and ever since that day I've found it extremely hard for me to go on (go on), sometimes I even hear your ghost call saying to me Hook:Reach for me

When the rain comes(comes) It pours and it pours for days, weeks, and years, streaks of tears all I've known I've longed for the sun to veer away from the patch of clouds that hides the smiles and inspires the frowns when I look in the back in my mind I see nothing but grey and black in my skies and I know that when I lift up my eyes I'll find Hook:When the rain comes down (Baby) it comes down, comes down, comes down, comes down, it comes down(Baby), it comes down, comes down, comes down, comes down, it comes down(Baby), it comes down, comes down, comes down, comes down, it comes down(Baby), it comes down, comes down, comes down, comes down I find myself(drifting, drifting) through these mental states I'm shifting slip-in in no specific direction steady trying to grip this stress up off of my chest but its to heavy too hard to lift it sometimes I find a way to bypass and disregard the physics but, but I'm living so slightly off my pivot everyday seems there's a million more problems i have to deal with I'm puffing on the gunja until it amplifies the illness I keep refusing the stone they trying to give me to build with lost my angel my princess but that looks like an insect compared to the scars on my heart I already have to live with yet I'm trapped in resentment knowing that yesterday is so far away from tomorrow we can't recapture that feeling damn my eyes are drizzling and I think the clouds are shifting (my way, my way, my way) and I'm not resistant I know the suns existing somewhere off in the distance and it's probably shining at my expense because I know Hook My mind is so clouded enshrouded in doubt it's flying on auto-pilot spiraling out of control in dyer need of re-routing I need to pick up the phone get gods number and dial it but his signals keeps getting crossed with the devils i think he tapped us sabotaging my plans way in advance to advance theres a heavy chance of showers heading towards my town and it only piles on and drowns this overcrowded metropolis of thoughts that's locked in my vaults of limbo where no one can find them until I'm extracted from time and my soul no longer will bear all the wear and tear that defines me and the reaper can't stand behind me I'll sit inside of my prison i've built with so much assistance and do my time with no crying until I've finished my sentence and once I'm free of the dimness i'll look down at the abyss and stare at all of those who never made it up out of their pits and shed a couple tears of empathy simply cus I know how it feels living in the heat Hook x2

It's been uh hell of a year I've cried a well full of tears for my sorrows tomorrow is never to clear that's the motto that floats with me as I drown in this bottle of distilled vodka trying to keep my windshields as clear as possible but irresponsible my actions speak as every cloud that floats above my head becomes black and bleak there ain't a mountain high enough when u at your peak but that phrase sounds different when u fall and crash to sea and your swimming in mistakes within the waves of defeat and you can't find the land you try to breath but you sink then weep and you think how you made it to uh bottom that's bottomless and how your summer times was taken over by autumn's winds then winter comes and it gets colder all u can do is reflect and pray springs around the next corner but know that some never see the sun again so never let yourself become one of them.

(Yo) and it ain't been much, time since we lied and embraced each touch and found that in every single way we love, we lose apart of us that creates that rush, We lose apart of us that creates that lust, and we lose apart of that which creates what's us, we use our artifacts to elate what's crushed, and subdue the horror that simply makes us dust, It's like living to die or rather dying to live, i knew she wanted to when she looked into my lens, I knew she wanted to when she took hold of my hands and I knew she wanted to when she traced over my skin(softly) as she figured me out, deciphered the words of my calligraphy mouth, enticed by the worth I could potentially have, she whispered in my ears Hook:Come Die With Me (x4) So as we exchanged hearts laying side to side in this lovely little graveyard, I see her spirit escape her, as I take her to a place that you never get to graduate from, it's a high, a sensation your body is absorbed in just before it goes into postmortem, and releases endorphins for your enjoyment, feels like you soaring, aboard this mental plane of orbit, Her sores went away, she settled into place, decided that here she forever wanna stay, she stared into me with a rare synergy and she said before I peaked

Met her at a young age she was selling herself for chump change just to make a way mommy used to tell me stay away she's nothing but a product of the devil to deconstruct you in every single way that you let her but I was a hard head with a hard head burning with desire simply yearning just to try her as I'm turning all my tires towards the dead end driving away from perceptions, thinking she could be my prescription I got 99 problems that I live with and if I had her in my life maybe she could fix them or maybe she could give me something worthwhile and kill this loneliness I feel like the first child and I can't help but look at her smile and I can't help but take in her smell maybe someday I'll catch her to herself and tell her how I really feel because Hook:I always wanted her to be mines I thought that the day I got her I would be fine I always thought she could make the rain delay and take the pain away and everything would be fine From a far distance I played secret admirer eyeing the way she calmed the nerves of those buying her she stayed with a pack of a-alikes but they say every pack ain't the same so they ain't alike but I knew she was the best of the best because her name on the streets rang more then the rest they say she was cheap but you'd enjoy her the best because her kiss on the lips was like first step of death relaxing and kinda like a vaccine in the way she makes you forget about whats happening her love fills your lungs with joy and stress leaves is that something that you'd like? yes please.....when can I get my shot? That's me speaking with my virgin mind ready for my 1st time with this dime my homie h-cho introduced me to her but......I felt I already knew her because Hook A few weeks later I'm sitting at home with a watch waiting by the phone she said she'd call by 8 o clock I'm waiting just to answer I'm waiting just to ask her can i be the man in her life? but time came and went I didn't hear a thing I later found out from a friend that she'd begun a fling with a new guy and it really broke my heart it took a month just to re-piece the broken parts and get over it, there's more fish in the sea right? and imma good man so there's someone meant for me right? Went to the corner store after seeing a movie and met a chick at the register her name was lucy

Too many nights, too many fights to keep you off my mind and convince myself imma be alright (and cease yearning), Love wasn't there i sub'd it for despair, and started crying till I realized that this feeling isn't real, when I close my eyes will I see you up in heaven? Or in hell I don't care where I am going I just want you by my side, just to look inside those pretty eyes, that'll always make me feel everything's ok when I know it's not I thought that it would last forever didn't expect such badly severed ties to be donned around my neck, At times it's hard to think about and process the guilt I feel for second-handedly destroying everything we built, It was the Jealousy, over-Zealotry, and my constant crave and want obsessively for you to relish me and cherish me, care for me, stare at me, marry me and bear with me because our time on earth is only distributed scarcely Too many nights, too many fights to keep you off my mind and convince myself imma be alright (and cease yearning), Love wasn't there i sub'd it for despair, and started crying till I realized that this feeling isn't real, when I close my eyes will I see you up in heaven? Or in hell I don't care where I am going I just want you by my side, just to look inside those pretty eyes, that'll always make me feel everything's ok when I know it's not Nothings there, nothings here, I'm knocking on your door until I get an answer, but why am I here? Why are you there? this feeling's a disease I think that this is cancer And there's no cure, rest assure, I'm only living comfortably within these mantras and this is pure, I have no fear I know i'll feel this way till time has finally passed us

She spoke in a injured tone, her words were "I'm alone" her blurbs of monologue were blurs of monochrome, surging from the phone was hurt there's something wrong, he heard and tried to calm but his words could not resolve or console this withered and young soul as her feelings just unfolds and deliberately unloads the silence that symbolizes the distance they both owned and piece by piece they lost something that was once gold This story was once told inside of a pair of eyes, owned by a woman who no longer could bear to smile, sheered by a man who stood under his parents cries and fell down those same stairs becoming as paralyzed she found that somewhere in time the joy they once shared had died and every high hope was suddenly nowhere to be found from the ground, she stared up at him as he continued looking down, and said it all without a sound It's quite amazing how much our natures have changed and how our looks in the eye no longer show what we made, but more so the separation that lays in between both our hearts that we once agreed we would chain, and although we have lost so much we gained, I find within the pain an appreciation's retained, I want you to know that until I'm laid to rest I'll always be thankful that you came, you made me a better person even though I at first could only see just worse when in actuality what was hidden behind those curtains buried inside my hurting was a needed lesson learned and I admit that I earned it, and I will lift from this certain that who I'm staring at in this mirror has been refurbished, i toss every sheet that i held a grudge on in furnace, I now understand why you looked at me and your heart said

Ayo I decided to take a walk in the rain, to get a couple things off of the brain yo this world is insane sometimes it feels like this shit just can't be real life, more like a film and i just didn't get the script right and you don't get a second chance when the lens is on so all performance errors you make u gotta live with all, I've made enough to never get an oscar nom from the voters poll living on this supposedly golden globe, where so many have sold they soul for a piece of paper, and many more have lost their hearts to a piece of nature, I fall more in the latter category and if I had to rap my story to you It would start at the age of 16 when I was just a creature thinking major bout this wish/dream of mine to hold a mic and get a pay stub thinking imma be the illest cat to ever grace the cover of the mags and moms could finally quit her day job, but little did I know that things would take a different turn, I was naive to it all simply chasing what I yearned, I was a kid playing with fire i had to get some burns before I put them matches down the only way I was gon learn, was to experience the heartaches and heartbreaks this art takes us on while we drive till our car breaks now some chose to speed but keep your feet on your car brakes because nothing is ensured and it's hard to make it in all states, especially when no one believes in your faith and all u here is you can't, and even those who say you can want you to be what you ain't, The art galleries ain't accepting the pictures you paint, because they ain't feeling the direction of that in which you aim, and all you wanna do is share these stories in your soul, and you know this music shit the only way they can be told, your standing year after year steady getting older and everything about the world around you getting colder plus you moving home to home feeling all alone and from auntie to moms house so that means different schools and you try to make friends but u become the loner, because you don't get to see these people for no more then four months, it gets so rough I swear as I was growing up I always thought that everything gets better as a growner up but I was wrong cus what you think Is easy as a young folk only amplifies in time and gets hard as fuck and look at me I had to mess around and fall in love wasn't trying but the lady had me from her first step I could barely catch my first breathe to say something to her it was such a struggle just to finally get those words out but yo it worked out the conversation felt like sure shots from cupid with his bow and arrow to insert love, and at our first touch I knew she was the one for me we drove that car as far as we could take it before it turned off, and as I search on for something more in this world I think about everything I learned from that girl, and every twist and turn that has occurred on this trail, and every single scar that I have earned as I've lived, it's been a long long journey but I'm still here, along with my mother and brother yo they still here, shout out to best friends h-cho and reb we all in the same war and yo we will win

And i'll be by your side whenever you need me, I will not let you go, let you go, let you go, let you go.
