Intro 00:56
“I’m trying to get back to someplace true, to someone I knew and liked a lot. I’m trying to make sense of my story, trying to make peace with it, perhaps so I can tell it, but more so I can smile. I needed to go back, to read these words and retrace the steps, in order to move forward. All of that brings us to you. I wonder where this finds you. I wonder what you’ve known and what you feel, what you’ve found and lost and hoped for. Perhaps there’s still time, time for things to turn around, time for us to be surprised. Perhaps there’s still a lot of beauty to be found here, and good people too. People to love and people who will say we’re not invisible. Perhaps there’s everything we need. So if you feel as if you feel too much, well then you are not alone. May these words find you like a friend.”

More to Life 04:20
[Pre-Chorus] Calculate indecision Can’t cradle fear no more Bear the shame of the incision All lain cold across the floor [Chorus] More to life than sitting talking ‘bout some children More to life than just facetiming from a distance I don’t know if this gon’ be a happy ending, but there’s More to life than losing sleep over decisions More to life than sitting talking ‘bout some children More to life than just facetiming from a distance I don’t know if this gon’ be a happy ending, but there’s More to life than losing sleep over decisions [Verse 1] Talking less to my girl lately, I really feel the distance And I feel the difference in the way our relationship is shifting I’ve been thinking ‘bout my vision, what life could be, what it isn’t What life should be in my opinion is way more fun and less commitment Ain’t felt like myself in a minute Don’t know if I ever have Don’t know what I’m doing here Eighteen years and I’m still bad at this life shit Early midlife crisis I want the kids and the wife shit, but I’m too young so I gotta make sacrifices Dear Lord, I’ve been facing new fears, Lord What if next New Years Lord that ball drops, I kiss my girl And ain’t nothing change but the year Lord? Think I might be stuck here, Lord. I don’t know how to feel, Lord. Feel like something’s gotta give This life shit is too real, Lord Too afraid I might second guess my decision Uncertainty and doubt always clouding my vision Wonder have I changed? Tell me, do I seem different? Afraid I won’t be the man when this is all finished [Pre-Chorus] Calculate indecision Can’t cradle fear no more Bear the shame of the incision All lain cold across the floor [Chorus] More to life than sitting talking ‘bout some children More to life than just facetiming from a distance I don’t know if this gon’ be a happy ending, but there’s More to life than losing sleep over decisions More to life than sitting talking ‘bout some children More to life than just facetiming from a distance I don’t know if this gon’ be a happy ending, but there’s More to life than losing sleep over decisions [Verse 2] ‘Scuse me for not saying much Scratch that, you never listen You can’t stand when I open up Say I only see shit missing ‘Scuse me for my way of thinking I was thinking there’s more to life than just wanting more Guess I’m trippin’ Nah, mister, fuck this distance And you for putting me here in this tough position Really care for your welfare and about now I feel like the villain High-key I’m like real scared thinking ‘bout living life without you in it Keep sending me beats, tweeting your tweets so I know how you’re living Got this feeling… Swear to God there’s more to life Swear commitment is overhyped Jesus Christ I’m only nineteen feeling like forty-five Telling me that you’re mortified I think you’ll prolly be more than fine I don’t wanna let the devil steer I think I’m done being scared of life I’ll be your wife if this falls through but this feels right Keep left, Imma veer right If I leave a wound, hope it heals right Fear might get the best of me but I know I’m finna be alright No dark night gonna faze me ‘cause I got faith that there’s more to life in this bitch [Pre-Chorus] Calculate indecision Can’t cradle fear no more Bear the shame of the incision All lain cold across the floor [Chorus] More to life than sitting talking ‘bout some children More to life than just facetiming from a distance I don’t know if this gon’ be a happy ending, but there’s More to life than losing sleep over decisions More to life than sitting talking ‘bout some children More to life than just facetiming from a distance I don’t know if this gon’ be a happy ending, but there’s More to life than losing sleep over decisions

Girl don’t you walk out that door Wish I could say this was a clean breakup But I left you unimpressed and I left this pent-up aggression in my body I embody depression and distress Ayo, yesterday you told me you thought I was the best Ayo, yesterday you loved me today I’m just a pest Damn [Chorus] Rose colored glasses These rose colored glasses Will time heal my wounds? I flip hourglasses in hopes of making time go faster But it’s slow as molasses And I know I romanticize you but I just can’t help it ‘Cause of these rose colored glasses These rose colored glasses Will time heal my wounds? I flip hourglasses in hopes of making time go faster But it’s slow as molasses And I know I romanticize you but I just can’t help it girl [Verse 2] Damn, can’t we just give it another chance girl? I know you miss us in the basement where we used to dance girl Like damn girl Why you being so cold? Where’s this coming from? We were doing so well together Just like the moon and sun You’re the moody one and I’m the one appeasing you I’m not wrong I always paid attention on my p’s and q’s Always asking you how you’re doing You never asked me though But I’m not thinking ‘bout that now Could you pass me those [Chorus] Rose colored glasses? Those rose colored glasses Will time heal my wounds? I flip hourglasses in hopes of making time go faster But it’s slow as molasses And I know I romanticize you but I just can’t help it ‘Cause of these rose colored glasses These rose colored glasses Will time heal my wounds? I flip hourglasses in hopes of making time go faster But it’s slow as molasses And I know I romanticize you but I just can’t help it girl [Bridge] Girl, we must’ve been a train wreck, right? (right?) That’s what everyone’s telling me so it must be true Girl, we must’ve been a train wreck, right? (right?) Funny, the more I think about it, it must be true (is that right?) Girl, we must’ve been a train wreck, right? (right?) If I tell myself enough then that’ll be the truth But I just can’t stop thinking ‘bout you (no, I can’t) Too bad I’m looking at my life through [Chorus] Rose colored glasses Through rose colored glasses Will time heal my wounds? I flip hourglasses in hopes of making time go faster But it’s slow as molasses And I know I romanticize you but I just can’t help it ‘Cause of these rose colored glasses These rose colored glasses Will time heal my wounds? I flip hourglasses in hopes of making time go faster But it’s slow as molasses And I know I romanticize you but I just can’t help it girl [Outro] Rose…aye, aye Aye, rose colored glasses Aye The grass is always greener on the other side Aye…aye Shoutout to OG Vinchenzo [Interlude] Hey Tyree, it’s Mom I see that I missed a call from you I’m actually on my way home from work And was just trying you back I’ll check and see if you left me a voicemail

Who but Me? 03:05
[Verse 1] Hey Mom, sorry I know it’s late I thought I’d call ya ‘cause the devil might catch me stressing tonight And I know you would argue that I should never let him do that ‘Cause he’s just so damn corny All these nights without Katie they got me so damn… Anyway I think I’m doing better Doing my best not to stress ya I know this thing with Aunt Moe Moe’s eating away at you both So Imma put on the same brave face that you do for me (me) Actually… How do you do it, Mom? Like, what is your secret? ‘Cause I swore I had all this emotional strength But it was actually weakness And don’t tell me for a second that it’s not Isaac just lost his pops And you don’t hear that boy weeping I’m just keeping to myself these days All alone in my room perfecting my craft God has put me on a path that I don’t particularly care for What the hell I say that stupid prayer for? Talking to God about something’s gotta give Like the life I lived wasn’t good enough for me I got homies I got family People looking out for me, Jessi, Craig, Kyli and Pammy Mammy Understand me please when I say that I know that I’m blessed Understand me please when I say that despite that, I’m still stressed Eviction notice on my comfort zone door I bet you noticed my focus is no more No longer a part of me I find it briefly like when i talk to you but it’s hard to see… [Verse 2] Hey, man, it’s Mom Sorry I missed your call It’s just I’ve been so involved with my work lately Sometimes I wish that I could pause And just take a breather Really get to reap the benefits of this Christian life I’ve been livin’ How you livin’? Are you driven these days? Are your goals still the same? Don’t ever let the devil change what you stand for ‘cause if you do he wins And that’s a fact You prolly laugh at that but it’s true And I promise you Tyree you’re so much stronger than you give yourself credit for That book with your first initial on it I wish you read it more No worries, though, ‘cause I got your prayers covered So get ready for God’s miracle to fall in your lap Swear if it’s anything lesser than what you deserve we’ll send it right back, Tyree Tell me all of your grievances Your heart just put on some pounds Don’t mistake them for weaknesses I plead the fifth when they ask me who or what gon’ make the world a better place But all I’m thinking to myself is Tyree, who but you? [Interlude] Hey Tyree, it’s Mom Hopefully you’re sleeping and getting some more rest Um… I just came out of the mayor’s office It was such a wonderful meeting Oh my goodness it—it was awesome But anyway Looking forward to finishing our conversation Um… yeah Love you Sit still, my dear Just sit still, okay? It’s all gonna be—it’s all gonna be fine It’s actually gonna be better than fine Even though you don’t feel like it now I love you

[Pre-Chorus: BAHBI] Uh, Ain’t no other way to it When we in the hood we just stay fluent When the pressure strikes we just pray through it Came from the gutter we was made through it Uh, Ain’t no other way to it When we in the hood we just stay fluent When the pressure strikes we just pray through it Came from the gutter we was made through it Just know [Chorus: BAHBI] It’s so hard where I’m from It’s so hard where I’m from Where I’m from (I said) It’s so hard where I’m from It’s so hard where I’m from Where I’m from (I said) It’s so hard where I’m from It’s so hard where I’m from Where I’m from, yeah It’s so hard where I’m from It’s so hard where I’m from [Verse 1: Tyree] Why my mama heart been broken so many times? You would think she’s careless with it looking from the outside in Swear I’m ‘bout to lock that thing in a safe The people closest to her prolly still find a way to get in Word to my Auntie Moe Moe The ice from that ice bucket challenge brought a second wave of sting after the diagnosis And I ain’t feel it ’til now ‘cause back then I was focused On how much sympathy I’d get from old girl if I told her “My aunt got ALS” Yo this is Satan’s best Had me thinking if I don’t win her back I’ll stay depressed And that made me forget ‘Bout all your love I guess I was the one who was really sick Now I lay in bed Waking from these dreams where you talking to me Hell, only time I hear your voice is when I’m getting sleep Damn I just wanna have a conversation with my auntie But I can’t even do that without a pencil and a sheet Damn Who’s playing a joke? I know this ain’t real I know it’s fake This whole situation is bogus You a flower to me And now I’m s'posed to look and pretend that I don’t see dying roses Tomorrow tell me if you forgive my need for sympathy Tomorrow tell me give it some time and she gonna miss me Tomorrow tell me some people always switching sides But you’ll always be on mine And you’ll never be acting shifty Tomorrow tell no matter what you’re still riding with me Tomorrow tell me that you gon’ have my back when I’m fifty Tomorrow tell me that you’ll still be around when I’m fifty Tomorrow tell me just how much you love me But for now Don’t speak Don’t speak Don’t… [Pre-Chorus: BAHBI] Ain’t no other way to it When we in the hood we just stay fluent When the pressure strikes we just pray through it Came from the gutter we was made through it Uh, Ain’t no other way to it When we in the hood we just stay fluent When the pressure strikes we just pray through it Came from the gutter we was made through it Just know [Chorus: BAHBI] It’s so hard where I’m from It’s so hard where I’m from Where I’m from (I said) It’s so hard where I’m from It’s so hard where I’m from Where I’m from (I said) It’s so hard where I’m from It’s so hard where I’m from Where I’m from, yeah It’s so hard where I’m from It’s so hard where I’m from [Verse 2: Tyree] Y’all can’t do this to my auntie Throwback to the night of my graduation People spilling feelings and I know you wanna say some Yeah, demons really out here But I ain’t no doctor There’s nothing I could do to erase ‘em So I’m chasing paper Hoping that I can pave the way to a life that’s greater for you and Kayla Still don’t know what to say to you I hope it doesn’t look like I don’t care ‘Cause that ain’t me that’s just the wrapping paper Can’t imagine your stress People treating you like your dying And you got a nephew that clearly ain’t crying Where is the balance? Single mother raising a daughter by herself and getting sick Is our god good? Or is he filled with malice? Feeling like Alice ‘cause I’m falling through the rabbit hole And this time I don’t know if I’ll resurface What is the purpose of this pain? Mama told me that they made a breakthrough in ALS Maybe it won’t be in vain So tomorrow tell me how proud that you are to be my auntie Tomorrow tell me if no one got me, you always got me Tomorrow tell me don’t even stress about you-know-who There’s a billion girls on Earth, at least half definitely want me Tomorrow tell me that it’s okay if my future’s foggy Tomorrow tell me that I’m too real do just die a copy Tomorrow tell me that Imma get it, can’t no one stop me Tomorrow tell me just how much you love me But for now Don’t speak Don’t speak Don’t…

And if you say love better back it up ‘Cause I swear to God, girl the other night it didn’t seem that way When I drove six hours just to see your face Turned me right around girl, like I was a stranger Like we never met, let alone date Aye, gotta let go of this hate Life goes on and the earth rotates So I can’t stand still stressing all damn day ‘Bout whether not you love me It don’t matter either way I’m fucked for the meantime For the meantime

Excuse the paranoia But there's been girls before ya I ain’t about to let you get close Just tryna warn ya Honestly, I adore ya But ain’t no time to love ya I got moves to make ‘Fore I know it, I’ll be back in Georgia So I cannot afford to develop feelings for ya Nobody slow down for me so all I know is fast-forward We could pretend this nothing we got is actually something Or just drop the shit She said man, I’ll gladly take the former [Post-chorus: Andie Isalie] Too late (woo!) You wanna make it right But now it’s too late My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid I’m wishing I could make this mine [Pre-chorus: Andie Isalie & Tyree] If you want it, you can have it If you need it, they can give it to you If you want it, you can have it But stay woke… [Chorus: Andie Isalie] Creepin’ They gon’ find you Gon’ catch you sleeping Stay woke… Creeping Don’t you close your eyes [Verse 2: Tyree] I asked her do you ever get the feelin’ your defined by your demons? Like the sky ain’t your limit no more, they put up some ceilings Been tryna do some healing But lately just been dealing with The fact that life without her can be so unappealing But maybe I can fill in this hole with someone else ‘Cause I need some love She said do you even love yourself? Boy, you feel too much Slow it down ‘cause one thing I can tell Guaranteed to us is only this one moment we’ve been dealt God got each of us He must be quite the fan of today ‘Cause you wake up to it Even though you pray for yesterday Carpe diem Demons ain’t demons if you don’t let ‘em stay You can fly, there’s no imaginary ceiling in the way Call your mom and tell her you love her And do it just because Swear there ain’t enough hours in the day to worry ‘bout love That stuff’s all round you Open your eyes and you’ll see what’s up And if you feel too much, don't worry Everybody does [Outro] Ooh I was feelin’ that! Ooh! (that was hot)
