Late 808

There’s no gain living in the past
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have
Each new moment brings me some brand new chance
To overcome, overcome

I still think of you sometimes
Can we go back?

Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
You’re tethered to another and you’re worried all the time
You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme
She’s fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn’t look like me
She made me love the morning, she’s a holiday at sea
The New York streets are as busy as they always used to be
But I am the mother of Evangeline

Yea it’s time to break the ceiling
You don’t know feeling
When you work the hardest
But ain’t never seen a living

Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks
Loose on the streets of the city

I know she got it ’cause she lookin’ at me like she want it

Once upon a time, I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time, there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Watch ding dong ah do di, badman pull up
Badman foward badman pull up
Ramp and pop off wit di badman pull up
Badman foward badman pull up

How many shots were fired? I don’t know, but more than several

I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you

Everything that hath breath praise the Lord
Worship Christ with the best of your portions
I know I won’t forget all He’s done
He’s the strength in this race that I run

Give all you’ve got
Under the moonlight
It’s yours for the taking
Don’t turn around
If you hear a sound
It’s just my heart breaking, yeah

You must be from the other side (Girl, I saw you)
’Cause I saw you in my dreams last night

Oh, think twice
‘Cause it’s another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
‘Cause it’s another day for you
You and me in paradise

Think about it

Raise a glass, ’cause I’m not done sayin’ it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let ’em talk, ’cause we’re dancing in this world alone
World alone, we’re alone

Take me to the King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart is torn in pieces
It’s my offering
Take me to the King

You know I got me an agenda
Break that thing up in my blender

I don’t want your (Photograph)
I don’t need your (Photograph)
All I’ve got is a photograph
But it’s not enough

So this is a romance, baby
‘Cos I care about you
So this a romance, baby
‘Cos I am lost without…

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned is
You gotta believe you deserve it

How can we go back to being friends
When we just shared a bed?
How can you look at me and pretend
I’m someone you’ve never met?

Tell me what’s the issuе, mama
And tell me what’s with all the tеars
Know you’re sad and you’re down and out
Oh, mama, can you tell me what’s with all the problems?

If my emotions are showin’, it’s only because I’m ahead of what they got goin’

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, New York you make it happen

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I’m taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River line
I’m in a New York state of mind

We havin’ motion

It could’ve been right, but I was wrong (Uh)
Only think ’bout you when I’m alone (Yeah)
The part of me that cared is almost gone
And I know that I can’t get caught up

Uh, and ain’t this beat tight?
My chains say hello, my watch say goodbye
And I still look right, this is the good life
This Gucci bandana it just make me look tight

Everything not perfect but at least I’m free (Least I’m free)
I don’t take it as an L, just wasn’t for me (Wasn’t for me)

Woke up lookin’ for the broccoli
High-key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi
IP, ownership, the blueprint is by me
Mr. Get Off, I get off and mop feet

This is dog for life, somethin’ you don’t know about

And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burnin’ out his fuse up here alone
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burnin’ out his fuse up here alone

Back into my old ways again (Ways again)
Back into my old ways again
Back into my old ways again (Ways again)

Only God can
Hold me, love me, fill me
Only God can hold me, love me, fill me
Only God can hold me, love me (Mmm)
Only God can
Only God can

‘Cause there we are again on that little town street
You almost ran the red ’cause you were lookin’ over at me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well
