Hope, I just hope I can do this I just hope we get through this And make it out alright I just want you to know I didn’t really mean to lose it All I really have is music And a voice that’s mine I’ll make some beautiful sounds That will keep you around Just long enough for us to leave this town But turn around and never forget Your looking at the city that raised you kid I got money on my mind just not in my pocket Not at this time it just left my wallet I’m looking for the sweetness where is the chocolate I’m looking for the flowers tell me where do they blossom I was fucking born here, raised in Austin Now the red river district is destroyed and forgotten They really left me no further option I’ma get up and do something I promise Hope, I just hope I can do this I just hope we get through this And make it out alright Let me out, let me out I’ve been in this town for too long now and I’m moving on now It’s time for this kid to graduate I’ve learned a lot of lessons from my mistakes I’m making these songs, I’ma make them loud I’m made by friends so I’ma make them proud And if you're in the crowd then you’re helping out I’m feeling your vibe if you’re moving around I’m feeling this show and it’s where I belong I’m feeling your heart as it beats along To the music I make through love or hate I just create cause I’m trying to relate I’m already gone, yeah I’m already gone I’ll see you in a year cause I know where I’m from I’m already gone, so long so long I’ll see you in a year when I come back home I’m bending my knees and I’m turning my cheek And I’m pouring my soul into a melody I’m already gone, yeah I’m already gone So long so long, I’ll see you when I’m home

I can’t think I’ve got a lot Upstairs where it’s getting hot My mind is blown It’s over loaned I need an answer to the radio I’m growing up I fell in love But one time was just not enough But I’m a man Who stays committed To the game and I live with it I had to be someone can you blame me girl for the things I’ve done I had to be somewhere can you blame me girl for not being there anymore I messed up But so did you It’s only fucked up cause it’s nothing new Clothes on the ground Your guard is down All we need is the pills and crown Packin the punches and sellin the crops Stackin the hundreds and it never stops Fastin it in to stay out of the box Cashin it in cause I paid off the cops Live with it, you won't have to refrain With it we can buy a house in spain Give it a year, we’ll be poppin champagne Admittedly it comes with a lot more pain I had to be someone can you blame me girl for the things I’ve done I had to be somewhere can you blame me girl for not being there anymore

I shouldn’t be here but I park on your street You give me that stare but you we stay discreet You climb into my back seat We roll around listening to J biebs Feeling all these things on the inside But I don’t let you know, no, I don’t let them show I can’t see your eyes in this barlight If you wanna take a ride we can take it outside Where you wanna go and where you wanna roll We’ll be fine as long as we’re alone I can feel your heartbeat Feel your heartbeat (4X) I shouldn’t be here but I’m three bars deep You give me that glare but you don’t speak You always push away what you can’t keep You always stay close cause you can’t leave Feeling all this tension in between us is Pulling us closer and we don’t trust it I can see your body in the starlight All I wanna do is make you mine I can feel rich and only have one dime I can feel the notches running down your spine I can feel your heartbeat Feel your heartbeat (4X) We can be on the cover of the rolling stone We can hang with Drake and the OVO I can be the man to take you home I ain't gotta be alone to be in my zone (2X)

Listen to me now cause I just wanna know how to make you smile Listen to me now cause I miss you when you were wild I hope you miss my touch cause I can’t go back, I can’t go back I miss you so much but I can’t go back, girl I can’t go back Anymore… All the weight I hope it’s better when I’m sorry that I can’t decide I hope it’s better when I know fo sho… I caught you dreamin about all the reasons we could just get away With my knife I carved a hole in the sky so we could see a better day I would take your love, put it in a bottle, in case we had to separate You and I, girl we could make a difference If we tried to make the right decisions Well all we are Are projections of the stars Durations of our lives Are reflections of the times I miss your touch and I miss your style (Yeah I do) I miss you so much and I miss you when we were wild (We used to run around, run around) Listen to me now cause I can’t go back, I can’t go back (Can we look ahead) Listen to me now cause I can’t go back, girl I can’t go back Anymore…

I want to fortify I’m sittin in the back where I’m out of sight I want to hold you close Don’t want to ever see you go You always seem to get the best of me When I step on the side of jealousy But who needs that now we’ve got this house locked Down my love Where did you go from here And where did you run to my dove And why did you leave me so… I want to solidify My trust in you is running dry I want to hold you close Don’t want to ever see you go You always seem to get the best of me When I step on the side of jealousy But who needs that now we’ve got this house locked Down down down again I’m calling up my friends Who’d crawl crawl over you I’ve got that new new All Alright again I see you all amongst my friends Where did you go my love And why did you leave me here And where did you run to my dove And why did you leave me so… I want to fortify I’m sittin in the back where I’m out of sight I want to hold you close Don’t want to ever see you go Down down down again I’m calling up my friends Who’d crawl crawl over you I’ve got that new new All Alright again I see you all amongst my friends

At 17 I fell deep for MK It was on Venice beach back in LA I remember her stare I could feel it in the air I remember her hairspray I knew how to make you feel grounded Held your hand when we road space mountain If out of the blue you wanna see it all through girl… I’ll be here always, be here always Girl you know me, I’m just your homie Who will be here always, be here always Girl you know me, I’m just your homie So please tell me how you’re feeling right now Cause I can tell by how you lookin And I’m all in my feelings right now But that’s just cause I’m sippin 2X Winter's come around, It’s gettin colder I heard that you older, I put a nice jacket right around your shoulders Took you dinner, I’m stressed out, boulder on my back but I ain’t really trippin You could probably catch me in the kitchen I ain’t wippin But I could if I did I’d probably be so great Got other things goin like spittin on this tape But back to the date I think we went to Uchi yeah that food was fucking great I met her in LA I flew her down Austin now I see her everyday She’s 45 but she looks like 20 This my truck lil mamma ain’t a rentie She said never call me that cause I’m older I told ya I don’t care about your age I got paid I’ll be here always, be here always Girl you know me, I’m just your homie Who will be here always, be here always Girl you know me, I’m just your homie And I’m always chillin and I know it’s not right I hope you don’t got plans late at night I wanna be your secret, keep me a secret Girl can you and I could make an agreement So please tell me how you’re feeling right now Cause I can tell by how you lookin And I’m all in my feelings right now But that’s just cause I’m sippin 2X

There’s someone in the corner Playing games I know too well But once you play you’ll never leave It’s a prison we’ve built ourselves The TV’s on all night But what the hell for It covers silence But I’m drowning in the whitenoise You might as well You might as well just hold me, or leave me, and I’m empty And it’s all the same But I just can’t tell 3X But I just can’t tell 6X There’s someone always watchin and they’re social game is strong But when I seem to need them they’ve already moved on The rivers run all night They’re running down to the shore They cover up the silence But I’m drowning in the whitenoise You might as well You might as well just hold me, or leave me, and I’m empty And it’s all the same But I just can’t tell 3X But I just can’t tell 6X

No one’s happy, no one’s happy if they never get what they want If they want what they can’t afford, where does happiness come from There’s a question in the sky and I’ve looked it in the eye but I still don’t understand If there is a god who can make what he wants, why would he create a man
