Hook: I been chasing all of the money When it stacks I’m attracting the honey’s I hope it never slow The money comes The money goes Don’t flee, but this game I be running Bitch, can’t tell me nothing Feel my pockets grow The money comes The money goes Verse: Loose lips are a nuisance ‘Specially if you hanging by a thread where the noose is I ain’t one for rudeness But here’s a penny for your thoughts don’t need your two cents like Oh! We not even close We not even friends But you be doing the most Trying to save every nickel and dime But then she looking my way so I spend every time Gotta spend to have fun, that’s my whole enterprise But then I start to lack funds, and that’s no surprise Hold up Hate when the money slow up Grow up, Banking on the chance you gonna blow up Ooh, you got me baby The truth, I’m not that rich But you try to tell the world It ain’t important Hook: I been chasing all of the money When it stacks I’m attracting the honey’s I hope it never slow The money comes The money goes Don’t flee, but this game I be running Bitch, can’t tell me nothing Feel my pockets grow The money comes The money goes DANNY ALI VERSE: I seen it rain down as quick as that well dry That’s where hell lies How much a dollar cost? I see thru those signs To know that this was written And all the messages they hidden Say I know better than that shit, really who am I kiddin Yeah Money and power, I’m givin every hour, Minute and second to chasin, the hunger growin louder Peep my addiction, cursed affliction Curse of the poison they fed us we was watchin power ranger missions Cut off the ones I love to chase it, never my intentions They say be careful what you wish for, shit we never listen We figure life gon teach that lesson, then reflect with riches If I know broke is of the mind, then why my pockets itchin? Hook: I been chasing all of the money When it stacks I’m attracting the honey’s I hope it never slow The money comes The money goes Don’t flee, but this game I be running Bitch, can’t tell me nothing Feel my pockets grow The money comes The money goes

Hook: You would only call when it’s convenient Every time I wanna call You don’t even wanna talk Maybe I’m just caught up in the moment You never come around You never come around It has been so long since I seen ya This is coming to a crawl I don’t wanna be involved But you’re the one I want to be the closest Why do I stay around You’re just playing around baby Verse: You know that I know that you want me (See it in you eyes, can’t deny it baby) Guess I’ll admit it Think that I’m done with wishing We coulda been something Turn you to my mrs. Missed opportunity for loving I see there’s nothing on to hold to Thank you for the things that I’ll be gone through Set it aside I don’t want your lies Oh, that’s the last time you’ll ever see me baby. Hook: You would only call when it’s convenient Every time I wanna call You don’t even wanna talk Maybe I’m just caught up in the moment You never come around You never come around It has been so long since I seen ya This is coming to a crawl I don’t wanna be involved But you’re the one I want to be the closest Why do I stay around You’re just playing around baby Twelveround$: When I'm not with you, there's so much that's unsaid But when I see you, there's not time for talking You play them games and got my heart feeling heavy But you know that in the end there ain't nobody like me I know you'll miss me when I'm gone you can't deny it baby But you don't answer when I call 'cause you ain't trying baby Maybe we're better off alone 'cause this ain't working baby But you know how it goes, I'll end up waiting for your call. Hook: You would only call when it’s convenient Every time I wanna call You don’t even wanna talk Maybe I’m just caught up in the moment You never come around You never come around It has been so long since I seen ya This is coming to a crawl I don’t wanna be involved But you’re the one I want to be the closest Why do I stay around You’re just playing around baby I'm so tired of it all When it rains, when it pours You the center of it all I don't want to be involved When I'm tired, when it pours I'm so tired of it all When it rains, when it pours I'm so tired

With Me 03:26
Verse 1: Praise the love that brought you here today Sunshine in your smile Roses in your corner We’re slowly getting older I Feel like we’re in love for the first time The fun begins, oh the fun begins and I I can’t wait to fly with you Chorus: All the trivial things, we can burn it down All the little things, we can turn it around Know you been feeling lonely Want someone to console If you trust it, history won’t repeat With me, with me With me, with me Verse 2: I been waiting for you, a long time How can I comfort you, is what I’m asking in my mind I, play your message on repeat And I’m stepping to the beat And the fun begins, oh the fun begins and I Can’t Wait To Fly, with you Chorus: All the trivial things, we can burn it down All the little things, we can turn it around Know you been feeling lonely Want someone to console If you trust it, history won’t repeat Bridge: I, won’t guarantee There won’t be pain On this road we pave I know your past was clouded But if you would allow it But the sun, the sun will always shine The sun The sun, will always rise Chorus: All the trivial things, we can burn it down All the little things, we can turn it around Know you been feeling lonely Want someone to console If you trust it, history won’t repeat

In Name Only 03:51
Chorus: Loving the light, every time you leave the room Harder to fight, when your leaves full bloom Now I’m in flight, it’s safe to assume I’m in love In name only Verse: Leave it or love it Hide the truth we undercover Reaching to get a handle like a hand up in a cupboard Huddled up inconspicuous, monogamist promiscuous The problem is it’s written in the heart of another Don’t you know thunder only happen it rains Wash away the dirt that’s been thrown up on my name Sitting all alone on my throne when I reign Pull the pin then I throw let it go with a bang It’s how I cope with pain, don’t wanna need it Though our goals are the same, don’t wanna see it I’m self-destructive, femme fatale’s are so seductive Half-baked, I find myself reaching for the cake Wait, I’m tryna get my head on straight Ay I’m tryna listen to my pillow case Staying in my room is how I feel most days But I ain’t one to be saved Chorus: Loving the light, every time you leave the room Harder to fight, when your leaves full bloom Now I’m in flight, it’s safe to assume I’m in love In name only Verse: (I been) Wanting to let you go still (Climbing) mountains made outta mole hills As it is, it seems that I don’t ever rest Even if I reach the top, I’m only reaching second best I second guess everything I ever say to you You would only be down if you were catered to Get off my chest, I’m complaining that it’s draining What does love cost, cuz it seems I always pay for you Damn, don’t it cut deep I ain’t one to fold, I ain’t one to crease I thought you’d be my home, I thought I paid the lease Now I’m tryna ghost, that’s why I’m underneath sheets But now I’m on every time you leave me lonely Don’t feel nothing when you hold me Now I’m acting all dismissive I ain’t even gonna listen done bickering like children when I’m with you Chorus: Loving the light, every time you leave the room Harder to fight, when your leaves full bloom Now I’m in flight, it’s safe to assume I’m in love In name only

Thank you to Alejandro for playing the trumpets on In Name Only, would not have the same vibe if it wasn't for you. Thank you to Danny Ali for the feature on Money Woes, adds so much more grit and texture to the song. Last but not least, thank you to Twelveround$ for featuring your silky, smooth vocals on Forlorn.
