If Only I Had Known
03:54
|
|||
I heard a story about a man
He was looking for himself
Inside the most material means
He thought that he could find peace
So naïve
and actually, that man was me
I got so lost in all that getting
Even though I wasn't getting anything
And I forgot about the giving
Which is the most contributing thing
My hunger for change was killing me, yet still
No book was enough
No video was enough
The realest learning comes from living
The realest learning comes from living
If only I had known
Undoubtedly
I would've avoided it
Apparently I wasn't sure
But it led me here
So maybe it's worth something
After all
I can't go back to the times
When I messed it all up
Forgiving myself is all I've got
And it won't surely happen overnight
It's a process, being kind
To the person I once was
And to everyone that was involved
I can't just leave it all behind
I can't just leave it all behind
To all my dear ones I've neglected
I am sorry about it, guys
But I can't say that I regret it
'cause I have chosen to prioritize
Music, family, body, mind and spirit
That's what I had to focus on
My only wish was my own maturity
Now I can go out and face the world
I can go out and save the world
If only I had known
Undoubtedly
I would've avoided it
Apparently I wasn't sure
But it led me here
So maybe it's worth something
After all
I simply want to grow
Like everybody
But I need it more
I'm headed towards my soul
It brought me here
and I've known its worth really
All along
Hey, yeah
All along
The worth of my soul
Oh
Of my soul

Journey to Fake
05:47
|
|||
They enticed me with some evil promises
I was consumed to the bone
All my energies were gone
They even told me that if I were to fall
I should pick myself
Up alone
But I said "no more lying to me"
You will never drag me down
With you into the cave of hatred
Don’t fool me
I’m not stupid
I won’t follow you
On the journey to fake
Fake
The journey to fake
The journey to fake
In the desert of the lost souls
We run around searching for gold
If we could only dig a little deeper
We’d find the water and more precious stones
We can’t see the beauty in each other’s eyes
We can’t hear our own hearts beating loud
But when we lay down on the sand at night
We see oases in the back of our minds
Ah, have we gone crazy?
No, this is normality
Don’t you follow them on the journey to fake
Fake
Fake
The journey to fake
The journey to fake
I’m real

BIG FAT LIES
03:57
|
|||
Big fat lies, oh
I don’t think you’re gonna compete with me
You don’t know me, I hate competition
And you say that you love creating
Then what are you trying to compete with me for?
(Create with me)
Don’t compare yourself to others
Just be there for others
For if you’re there for others
Then you will be there for yourself too
You will be there for yourself
So beware
There
is a greater
purpose inside of you
But if pride is why you’re playing now, I’m not down
If you keep on stating you don’t deserve
the recognition you’re worthy of
Why in the world would you claim it?
If you yourself don’t believe in your soul
(How will you know?)
It’s time for you to hold yourself accountable
for the game you’re playing
the rules you’re making
If you really wish for riches, turn around
Now
Bow before the ones who don’t have nothing
Take an honest look to those who suffer
You think you see crisis and catastrophy
But that is not what your heart really sees
If you give as you wish to receive, we’ll be free
These are all big fat lies
You could even win but there’s something you don’t ask
that is "what’s the lesson now that I’m successful?"
when you hit rock bottom there’s no lower you can go
but when you dare to fly too high no one guarantees that you won’t fall
the thoughts you think are the words you speak
and if you underestimate this
what you’ll end up with
will be
Big fat lies
These are all big fat lies
The thoughts you think are the words you speak
Don’t ever ever ever underestimate this
Otherwise what you’ll end up with
Will be, will be, will always be
Big fat lies

Numbers Never End
03:47
|
|||
Don’t play with me
I get serious when it comes to what my business is
Born in 1997 it’s 2019
And I can’t believe the shit I am witnessing
What’s true talent anymore
What is music anymore
I can’t judge what I don’t know
But to me it looks we’re lost
How many likes over here
How many follows over there
Dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions
We’re heading to the billion
When your fingers get sore you’ll know that numbers never end
You can’t stop scrolling down and all those numbers never end
We all want to be noticed but those numbers never end
We think we’ve got enough but
They never end
Will we ever get tired of chasing them?
Will we ever get tired of counting them?
Will we ever get tired of chasing them?
Will we ever get tired of counting them?
Will we ever get tired
I chose to quit social media ‘cause I think that focusing on likes, followers, and numbers in general, takes people away from the very essence of an artist. Inspiring content matters more than any hashtag, strategy or other kinds of façade.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Un, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht
Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto
Un, deux, trois, catre, cinc, six, sept, huit
Um, dois, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, sete, oito

Range Rover
02:24
|
|||
I would give up on all my dreams for ya
Throw away my phone to write poems with ya
Then we could go to the movies
Listen to some music
Or just act stupid
I wonder what you’re thinking
Are you even listening
Everything I’m giving to you
I will never keep it to myself
What’s mine is yours
I’m your daddy, don’t you know
Uh, when I brought you into the world
I had nothing at all
But you filled me with love
I know you don’t believe me
At times we end up fighting
But you don’t see how much it hurts me
I would never leave you in a million years
Jump in my (range rover)
Little boy
I will pick you up with my (range rover)
Let you drive
Even fantasize in my (range rover)
Don’t be shy
We could be together right now
And forever

Curious
04:32
|
|||
Call me honey
While everybody’s watching
Grab my waist in public
Your lips on mine block out the noise
And they all know we’ve left them no choice
they’re all curious about our love
‘cause they’ve never seen real love before
they expect us to betray each other, they don’t get it
we were made to be united
They wonder how we do what we do
No need to know how
when I met you
my destiny was clearer
you were the rainbow I was waiting for
you showed me what I could become
they’ll never know how much you have taught me
They wonder how we do what we do
No need to know how
And when they seem to be
Too interested in us
Keep on holding my hand
They’ll never break us apart
C’mon, give it to me, give it to me, hey yeah (x2)
C’mon give it to me, give it to me
What I’m promising, dear boy
It’s something we both can enjoy

Forgive
03:52
|
|||
I’m so bad
At apologizing
But I can do one thing
And that is to write songs for you
It’ll never be enough
But it’s the best I can do
It took me months, even years
To respect you, to love you
Let myself go being with you
Will ya
Will you forgive what I’ve done
Forget who I was, mm-mm
I’ve got
Got to forgive your mistakes
‘Cause you’re irreplaceable
Hold up
I’m a jerk
Sometimes and I admit it
But you can see right through me
And you laugh at all my freak-outs
Could I ever ask for more?
When all I’ve got is your love
This is much more than love
It’s compassion, attraction, imagine what we can do
Will ya
Will you forgive what I’ve done
Forget who I was, mm-mm
Na na na ma
I’ve got
Got to forgive your mistakes
‘Cause you’re irreplaceable
Na na na na
Take my hand, I’ll show you love
You’re the reason for the bridges I’ve burned
Take my hand, I’ll show you love
I swear I’m worth much more than all the lies that I have told
Take my hand, I’ll show you love
I’ll give it all to you because that’s what you deserve
Take my hand, I’ll show you love
If we forgive each other we’ll be free as two birds

I Have Nothing Special

Love is our way out when it comes to life
but it happens now and then that we wake up blind
We delude ourselves into being satisfied
when the world is okay feeding us on lies
Love is our way out when it comes to money
We grind all week for worry’s purposes only
We think we have to struggle and we end up lonely
When we believe in separation everthing is unholy
Love is our way out when it comes to sex
We see images of false enjoyment
Pleasure is a state that comes along with respect
When we rush to the web we don't have to believe that
Love is our way out when it comes to friends
Make sure that you give, not just that you get
Better kneel and touch the ground on which they stand
If it's not solid enough you will both collapse
You can choose to make amends
Or you can choose to hurt yourself
You can choose to run away
But love always calls us back, oh
Love can always find you in any way
Love will always find you anywhere
Love has always found me anyway
We may have hurt people
But we will be forgiven
Love will always find us anyway
Love is our way out when it comes to school
we spend our waking hours with our eyes on the books
we go to bed knowing we learned a thing or two
but deep in our hearts we know the dreams we pursue
Love is our way out when it comes to work
we say "nine-to-five" and we already feel the hurt
everyone is tired but nobody gets to leave
until a miracle leads their mind to believe
Love is our way out when it comes to health
we’re not still grateful enough for the body we have
we act as if we have the right to treat it bad
then we wonder why those diseases attack
Love is our way out when it comes to hate
We say words that determine our future state
better choose them well, we will drop all the weight
of the bad things we’ve told ourselves until this day
You can choose to make amends
Or you can choose to hurt yourself
You can choose to run away
But love always calls us back, oh
Love can always find you in any way
Love will always find you anywhere
Love has always found me anyway
We may have hurt people
But we will be forgiven
Love will always find us anyway

You could be anywhere
You could do anything
Hiding, texting, sex-having
You could be doing anything with me
Countries, parties, calm seas
You could be anywhere, but you’re here
Couldn’t be getting closer, but you’re near
My house
I’m down
Let’s just tear this building down
It’s over now
You could be anywhere
You could do anything
You could meet anyone
But you chose to be here
Nothing matters more to me
Than sharing the same ideologies
Still allowing you to disagree
With my weird mentality
You don’t know how much it means to me
That you show up truly interested
This is everything I can give
My advice, my voice, my differences
You could be anywhere
You could do anything
You could meet anyone
But you chose to be here
Hiding, texting, sex-having
You could be doing anything with me
Countries, parties, calm seas
You could be anywhere, but you’re here
Couldn’t be getting closer, but you’re near
Nothing matters more to me
Than sharing the same ideologies
Still allowing you to disagree
With my weird mentality
You don’t know how much it means to me
That you show up truly interested
This is everything I can give
My advice, my voice, my differences
You could be anywhere
You could do anything
You could meet anyone
But you chose to be here
You knock at the door
And I regain control
You represent home
You’re where I belong
You knock at the door
And I regain control
You represent home
You’re where I belong
My house
I’m down
Let’s just tear this building down
It’s over now
