She said I was on fleek She kissed me on my cheek Let me get your number just so we can meet She said the coffee shop is fine I think we’ll have a good time I hope she don't waste my time But i wanna make her mine She pulled up in a range truck She had a sweater saying Oregon Ducks Ohio State fans there too She walks in and they all boooo (BOOOOO!) I said girl don’t even worry, we gotta leave come on hurry We go back to my place, I look over at her face she said. If wanting you is a crime, baby boy it's fine We got the same goals in life, with just love and money on our mind Both on our grind, he knows its our time to shine. He knows i’m a dime, now let me make him mine She said she like my foreign car I told her we can go to Mars She said she like chain Just know it’s Johnny Dang Tried to finesse me out my racks But i don’t care cause I can make it right back She say she like my swag I got my 30 Louie bags I know she only want me for my money She think I’m dummy, but she funny I travel in expensive clothes, my pockets hold loads I remember when i was broke I had my come up and they choked She said I’m the hottest I’m just being honest Turn me up some more I’m on supersonic I was counting in my lambo She walked in with her hands closed She punched me in the elbow Heck no i did a neck roll If wanting you is a crime, baby boy it's fine We got the same goals in life, with just love and money on our mind Both on our grind, he knows it’s our time to shine He knows i’m a dime, now let me make him mine

How about that 8th Grade Life, How about that 8th grade life (Okay, Okay) How about that 8th Grade Life, How about that 8th grade life (Ehhhhhhhh) People don’t realize 8th grade ain’t easy School ain’t ‘bout that pressure, it should be breezy Gotta study for the test so we can be the best And with all these snow days, they took away recess Got homework, grades and sports on our chest And you know we can’t forget about the new PARCC test Berwick basketball, just swept the city Your school against ours, it’s your school I pity Puttin’ in more work, check my application We in here everyday, man we need a vacation How about that 8th Grade Life, How about that 8th grade life (Okay, Okay) How about that 8th Grade Life, How about that 8th grade life (Ehhhhhhhh) One more year and I’m filled with fear Forgot to study for this test, let me ask my peers My man Mr. J, he be teaching us math Shreddin’ class clowns always making us laugh With the Elementary kids, they running at our feet Getting on our nerves, they need to take a seat 8th grade we on top, 9th grade we on the bottom Makin new friends but old friends we still got ‘em Up and down the hallway, we do it our way We got four more years, but we can’t wait til May How about that 8th Grade Life, How about that 8th grade life (Okay, Okay) How about that 8th Grade Life, How about that 8th grade life (Ehhhhhhhh)

Don't mess with those fake friends They won't be there till the end Don’t mess with those fake friends I can hear them arguing You gon’ take her side? (Oh really) She called her a rat Then she really snapped She said you better get back Before you get slapped There was no beef between us Till you got jealous If you got take her side Then I'll say goodbye Well never say hi again in our lives So I'll stay quiet Until they fall silent They be actin’ like snakes Always bein fake Stabbed me in the back By talkin that smack Stick with your A One They been there since day one Stick with your A One ‘Cause you won't find a new one

2 Dollars 02:47
lyrics
buy track
No money but two dollars On a date with two dollars Walked into the movie with two dollars What you gonna get with two dollars I was salty like the fries on your plate I never should've gone on this date I even bought that boy a milkshake Turns out this was all a mistake I was embarrassed I was mad I bet he didn't even feel bad Shocked he didn't show up the bus I was so sad I could've cussed No money but two dollars On a date with two dollars Walked into the movie with two dollars What you gonna get with two dollars He was wearing Trues And expensive shoes I was being used He had no excuse Buying lots of stuff But he only had two bucks Didn’t give two chucks It really really sucks No money but two dollars Went to Steak 'n Shake with two dollars I even picked you up it wasn't funny Now you probably owe me at least twenty

All These Clothes 02:26
lyrics
buy track
Work, work, work, I don’t wanna wear these clothes, They really stink, as they decompose, It seems like they want us to act like clones, They force us to do things just like drones. But we don’t want to seem, like we are old, We want to look young, cause we are bold, They think these clothes are a good thing, but self hatred and loathing is all they bring. All these clothes cover me up, They’re a picture of what you quack, All these clothes are old and ugly, They make us all look whack. If I could wear my clothes, I would look like I’m on fire, Because I am strong and smooth, And you can’t match my moves. Uniforms, uniforms, I think it’s a shame We wear the same thing again and again I don’t wanna scream, I don’t wanna yell We’re connected like a chain, And we can’t show our sock game Our clothes are colorless, just like black and white We have to wear our plain shirts, because we are civilized We don’t wanna chant, we don’t want to fight But I just don’t like my uniform, 'cause we all look alike. If I could wear my clothes, I would wear: Wristbands and raybans, I look like I wanna dance I got Uggs and a north face, look like I’m in the south pole Bathing suits and flip-flops, I like to wishy wash Wear a suit with a bow tie, I’m looking very fly A mile high, up in the sky Swag

The Call 02:28
lyrics
buy track
We leave the world behind Once we enter our minds. Once I stop to take that call I'm here to make you fall When you're here I'm on your side But then I turn it on its side 'Cause in the game I turn against you But it ain't nothin' against you. So you think you're right behind me? Only if you you can find me. Now I don't wanna put you out, But I'm here to take you out. I know times are getting tough, I know things are gettin' heavy, I know you've had enough, but get back here when you're ready. It's all in the family; We share the same blood, And it's all in good fun When we shed the same blood. It ain't nothin but love When we spill the same blood, 'Cause all good families Will spill the same blood. I got my whole crew. We're all comin' for you. Before you started, you're done, And my skills just flew Man, time flies When I'm watchin' you fall! Phone flyin' off the hook Gettin' call after call! It's a bird, it's a plane- No, it's me up there! Game over, bald chicken. Now now go get some hair.. I'll put you straight to sleep: No blanket and no teddy. Get up and brush the dirt off And get back here when you're ready.

Follow Our Crowd 03:26
lyrics
buy track
We’re gonna rock the house And not follow the crowd We’re gonna start the game and finish it And we already know we're winning it And we know right now They’re gonna follow our crowd They’ll block our path in many ways We twist and turn to see a good day Even through the strife we feel alive Our dreams are far but we know who we are This is our town We’re in it together now I’m not the perfect person My hair doesn’t always stay in place Even through the strife we feel alive Our dreams are far but we know who we are This is our time

Green Light 03:38
lyrics
buy track
As a little kid We all live that slow life While we're getting older Waiting for that green light Do what we gotta do Not even think twice Green light Waitin’ for that green light I'm leavin' everything behind I don't know what I'm gonna find I'm on a path, I don't know where to go All I know is I can't take it slow, take it slow I'll be waiting for that green light Green light, green light Waiting for that green light So let's go Live it while you live it Cause it's better than before Til' you're older and you're wiser And you're freer than before Sometimes friends will turn to enemies We learn and make new memories You're livin' upside down If you don't turn your life around And hit the green light We all had to come up with no help With nobody to help us with the way that we felt Now we look where are and it feels just right Cause we remember what it’s like to live that slow life Waitin’ on that green light Let’s go

The Littlest Things 03:54

Every time I see your face I run to you like it's a race Every time you hold me I know that I’m not lonely It's the littlest things Things that you do When I see you I get in a mood I can't explain Every time I see you smile I love how it goes on for miles Every time you hold me I know that I’m not lonely You’re beautiful You’re handsome You’re wonderful You’re amazing I’m so into things that you do

5 Steps 02:48
lyrics
buy track
I saw this guy, and I’m like woah “She don’t know real love” but I want to know I love you, but I’m a fool “He made a proposal” I rejected that too He asked me why I kept saying no You don’t know love, you just don’t know He’s not lying, but I won’t relent Go through the steps and make me content Step One! We’re just friends, we talk a lot but not in depth Step Two! We’re best buds, it’s not friend zone but we kick a lot Step Three! Now you’re my crush Step Four! I like you a lot Step Five! I don’t know real love, but this is where it comes in oh god! He kept saying, “Why five steps,” I’m not that easy, he just wept, Do you know my favorite color? Do you know my favorite fruit? “Where where you born?” Do I play the flute? All of these questions play a part, Go through the steps and open up my heart, After all that, he finally caught it He took a step back, and tried to get with it. We’ve gone through the steps, except for step five, But I don’t really know if love is in our lives, He told me told he loved me We see eye to eye But I still don’t know true love So I told him Goodbye!
