Chorus: Hey! Snap out of it the monotonous routine/ Break out of it yeah the obvious musings/ To the sleeper say hey, to the dreamer say hey/ To the loser say hi, snap out of it! Verse (Freddy): Zombie zoning moving going nowhere in a hurry/ it's the story of my life, no candy land, its trouble sorry HEY!/ Tired of the games, the daily reigning in, ain't sane/ it's like im running round in circles, replaying hurdles in place/ to put it plainly, in a daily bating game with that what makes me/ not the same as everyone else but yet I'm choosing the safety/ of the routine, the cruising, through the losing, of what's moving/ me to choosing, to bare the bruising, get bare and get to feuding/ gotta change what I've been chasing, old dreams, things and phases/ amazing to think of all the time that i've already wasted/ Same wall diferent day, no matter the way I trade/ the things i do its sad to say its like im no work and all play/ but im getting both worked and getting straight played today/ like an 80's arcade game, put on display like on parade/ time to stop the charade, stop the facade and decay/ no way im gonna change without first coming face to face/ now im paving a new pavement broke the gate and made a play/ to get what I was chasing out my face new gaze and it's amazing/ Verse (Esohel): You're Treadmilling it for that feeling that one your chasin/ complacent, you’re in the building but all your thoughts vacant/ HEY! Ladies and gentlemen now that i got your attention/ take a moment and that let settle in/ See these sentences meant to get wheels rolling like your peddling/ so break out the mold like gelatin and set the presedence/ the present is what a present is/ gotta tend to it or it's a wrap an unopened gift/ more specific your perfect fit look tag your it/ chosen for that certain motive only one life to live/ so live, unconifined/ don't sit, break the lines/ what's gotta give, give alot to life/ dig inside that mind and see what you can find inside/ so live, that's bottom line/ If you don't fit in, that's all by design/ wait cause in due time you will see what life defines/ let go of the ego see that's when you truely fly/ Verse (Tony): Maybachs and the Bentleys, many mansions, cash aplenty/ Is the sermon of the earth go get some girls and die out early HEY!/ Mind of my own, minus the clone, Midas of flow/ I write it, it’s gold, I’m kidding just psyching you bro/ But I’m psyched up to throw a spike in the road/ Break the cycle, tires and spokes, and admire the wreckage/ Fighting the dead end jobs cause life isn’t pension/ Priceless redemption in Christ resurrected alone/ Not hiding I said it, the hype’s intervention is now/ It’ll die in it’s mess, may the message register loud/ Oh and so clear, I’m not a drone here/ And this ain’t home we’re, just globetrotting souls here/ Spokespeers proclaiming Hope’s near/ So put that on your facebook posts and your post-eers/ Living Life big, Leviathan height kid/ It Sucks to be a grown up, no wonder I like kids/ Just look into their eyes where you see the world’s right in/ Clean and righteous minds identify the little tykes as the titans

Verse (Tony): Life’s a giant trust fall, and you might just fall/ Whether there’s a catch or not, you’re getting thrust all/ Into the complexities, uncertainties, the burglaries/ The enemies, the burden seems hardly worth the search for purpose/ We worry we hurriedly run from what potentially/ Could hurt us deep, we numb ourselves before the surgery/ But the thing that cuts us deepest, instead of fighting our demons/ We invite them in and feed them, fear sinks it’s teeth in our freedom/ But today, yes only today/ Could be the best day I’ve ever had and quite possibly my last/ But in grace, yes only in grace/ It’ll be the best day I’ve ever had and quite possibly just last forever/ Your view’s critical, if skewed it makes you minimal/ Truth’s pivotal, pivots, moves you to new principles/ What looms riddles you, you really want doom ridiculed?/ Live like you really do live, get up and move before the minutes do…/ Chorus: Second guessing only lessens seconds (4x) Verse (Freddy): You dont know it all but you believe it none the less/ yes the best thing to ever happen has still yet to come to pass/ but you've tasted, bits and pieces, glimpses of the ever lasting/ happily ever after's what you're after and you will gladly/ risk the wait, until the date, you face the gate, the gift to celebrate/ your faith, with patience and dedication to a truth until the grave/ you're human,unassuming, a person tangled in loose ends/ not beyond the occasional moody outburst and rudeness/ But today, yes only today/ Could be the best day I’ve ever had and even possibly my last/ But in grace, yes only in grace/ It’ll be the best day I’ve ever had and quite possibly just last forever/ more than a conclusion, life’s more than a nuisance/ an alusion to more and not just some optical illusion/ but you question who you are and what your losing/ no confusion, no excuses what you'd gain is no delusion/ Verse (Tony): They say that death is certain, is it sure?/ Could’ve sworn a risen Lord went and split the curtain so for/ Death it’s curtains, no more so on and so forth/ Been sewed up to go forth, and sew up the globe/ Wars still raging within, so I’m not waiting while I’m waiting on Him/ Delay equals decay if we’re not shaken by this/ We’ll awake to abyss, getting hitched to ignorance is/ Bliss at first but it’s way different when you’re living with it commited/ Verse (Freddy): So while we wait, let's make the wait a thing to celebrate/ not waste away the days until dating becomes today and say/ i wish i could of, wish i should have made a way to make the waiting/ well worth the debating day to day for heaven's sake/ noway to halfway, luke warm is a may day/ either colder than sorbet or lazer raying a souffle / no replays, no cliches see the date is fast approaching/ what’s to say about your state, are you living life like your coasting?/

Verse (Freddy): Cold air, hold hair from the blows where/ wind chills to the bone there, slomo stairs/ hold close to my nose closed coat grow warm/ snow slow rolls down and floats to the road/ salt trucks show up sure nuff show down/ salt dump truck dumps down ground mounds/ the only sound now's phone calls round town/ sorry but im feeling sick cough ouch ow/ snow men grow limbs, kids rollin/ down hill, down wind, fun times tobogganing/ bothered by the hollering, the elderly get loud at them/ hearing bells from santa with buckets but no deposits in/ women in collagen, never acknowledging/ anything besides the sale receipt and greeting card modeling/ the holidays get dim, streets they get salt encrusted and/ you realize man i can't wait for it to be hot again/ the winter/ Bridge (Tony): Oh winter you can be so cold/ A breeze so cold could only be winter right?/ But oh winter though you seem so cold/ Have you seen these souls, these souls/ Winter have you seen these souls, these souls/ Winter have you seen these souls, these souls/ In the summer nights?/ These souls in the summer nights/ Turn cold with a bitter bite/ Verse (Tony): Out of hibernation temps rising like the rage is/ Violence the vocation and it’s finally off vacation/ Some kids just want to go outside and soak all of the rays in/ Without the fear they might be soaking in some strays/ Pride is in the Chi set on prying some from life/ Fighting over signs, highs, and prices for the highs/ And I’m just on the sidelines writing like I might/ Somehow silence all the sirens and the cries/ And as I’m driving by, irony in sight/ The light so warm and bright, but their eyes so cold and dim/ Almost soulless, going through the motions/ A robotic focus, showing no emotions/ That’s weakness to their close friends as if they even have close friends/ Watch how quick that bond gets broken, no friends/ No end to the backstabs, the skin’s broken/ Get your home broke in, from a broken home kid/ Who’s hope is running low, I’m sitting in my home/ Cozy watching summers murder toll grow/ To record highs, nothing colder than July/ When the lies choke the youth, stolen youth and also have a hold on you/ Thinking God’ll move, so I ain’t gotta move/ I hate the show and prove, but my no showing proves/ I don’t even want a slow improve/ Withholding Truth certainly won’t close the wound/ They want to bring the National Guard in but people we’re the National Guard if/ We’d only take our passion and barge in/ To these kid’s lives, pastors get to the marching/ Body, Limbs to Heart, getting to stitching up scars quick/ This is the target/ Summer’s got us living in darkness, it’s odd/ But this is the farthest/ From summer I’ve seen, summer’s deceived, now winter’s relief indeed/ Bridge (Freddy): The steam rising, temps dropping/ and colors gone, grey is all i see/ grey is all i see/ telling you grey is all i see/ see credit bills rising, peace dropping/ and family's gone, grey is all i see/ grey is all i see/ telling you grey is all i see Verse (Freddy): Dusty roads, grey on every surface, the furnace/ on in every home the wind sounding just like a circus/ lion with no tamer, the homeless growing fainter/ as the pennies in their pockets start disappearing like vapors/ gone are the songs, along with the throngs/ of youngins surrounding their snow towers just like king kong/ in their place is a space where dreams can lay waste away/ present day so far removed from the day they call present day/ potholes, potshots, little bros smoking pot/ copped outta pop's box too cold for the hop scotch/ too cold for a goal with uncles at a truck stop lot/ paradox feeling hot anger cannot connect the dots/ traffic like trapped inside a massive line of beiber tots/ the fever's hot, the reasons sought out, brought up squat/ but in the distance, a glimpse of the peace i sought/ knots of cotton falling to the ground now like some rising chalk/ some shocked, some flock to the snow plott spots/ others swat the block, snow shovels covered in body socks/ slow trots by the toe nose tots/ through the snow throw zone, leaving folks in snow smocks/ smiles locked, color back by the lot/ by the snow stock, cover up the old spots/ its winter at its best, for the moment the snows dropped/ last harvest of the season, can't wait for next year's crop to drop/ Bridge (Tony): i'm getting seasoned by seasons/ with seasons within themselves/ and i'm imprisoned in seasonal cells/ i'm not gonna stay inside, i'm not gonna stay inside Verse (Tony): I’m just a starving dude at a barbeque/ Know life is not a picnic and it startles you/ Far from the innocence I started with/ Still pleading for the freedom of the park district/ Somehow the Chi gets, to feeling like an island/ Running wild in the sprinklers and the hydrants/ I dig up diamonds, memories inside with/ Family united and cleats digging in the diamond/ It’s no surprise it’s when our eyes were widest/ Appreciating life in its purest and its finest/ I hope to find it, invite it to change the climate/ Summer used to sing not sting with streets this silent/

Verse (Tony): Tony’s got an ego suppressed so his noggin don’t burst Oh how he’d love to spit a poppy popular verse You Ricky Bobby’s think you’re hot and on fire at first And run around in circles screaming it, but you’re not and it hurts Did it occur to you delusional nonsense is worth Non-cents, nothin, to pay you mind wastes budget Oh now his ego’s unearthed and he’s rocking the verse Feeling like The Rock in his verse, cause now he talks in the third Awesome the world, twirls around him and swirls The universe, his hula-hoop in awe you should have your jaw in the dirt Flawless with words how the heck could he ever fall off his perch All encompassing marvel work without a cause for concern He’s got an ego that’s just tops and the people just massage The façade that people could believe they become gods And even wait on him for pick me ups, bus stops But he leaves them hanging, waiting in his reign till they rust ha/ Chorus: My ego, so charming, charming, deceitful/ Be alarmed, alarmed, it's lethal/ Keeps me cozy, lonely, this ego/ Breeds evil only/ Verse (Freddy): They're asking for the anger, hate, the boastful and derisive/ shout the loudest words you can you're fighting for your life and/ those things you feel self conscience of make sure you fight and hide them/ cus your fans should only ever see you man up like Mike Tyson / straight biting when you got their ears but im cutting out the biting/ no more riding the waves im deciding to drive the igniting/ done with the reciting, the me myself and iron/ eee was killing me when the need was killing the lying/ the ego grows and grows like a puppet nose I know/ the pros and cons bestowed with that life when it's built and zoned/ and so i foreclose, the lows aren't worth what is imposed/ now i propose we show the world what truth can grow when sown/ break the grip, break the mold, break the chains, face the soul/ of the matter and realize it's worth way more than gold/ it's lonely when alone at the throes of change and growth/ but realize God knows the lonely souls/ Bridge: Welcome to the Me, Myself and I Land, look around/ You’ll find that egos make you islands, to yourself/ You always dreamed of paradise man, but by yourself/ Doesn’t seem like paradise man, it’s cause it isn’t/ So let the blind lead the blind and, puff up your ego/ Let your people be your hypeman, until they leave you/ They don’t like a dude with light cash, plus an ego/ When the hype dies down, what is life like now?/

Verse (Tony): You’ve been playing out the scene, stationary/ Ink staining stationary sheet after stationary sheet/ Dreams with devastating flaws, sleep depravation/ Yet the medication is the deprivation’s cause/ The same thing that you live for can kill you/ And the same thing that can kill you, you live through/ You’re hardheaded met with criticisms/ Your art is far fetched and your arms just can’t stretch to reach it/ Doubt creeps in, violent as Armageddon/ Fighting your will to try even firing up your engines/ Knife to your goals stifling your progression/ There’s a light in your soul that is vibrant and knows the Message/ Can’t fail… it’s not a message I reach with/ The Message reached me and it is living and breathing/ And in this moment I am just a witness that He lives/ As they reach to the stage tell the people to sing this./ Chorus: These are the moments that freeze/ When time stands still and the momentum swings/ And I can’t help but abandoning me/ To stand in awe, just to stand in awe knowing that/ These aren’t moments of me/ That these are the moments that freeze/ That these are the moments to seize/ And I'm just watching them unfold, not an ounce of control/ Verse (Freddy): Lights flashing, tune blasting, you're still gasping/ they want action, hands clashing, you hear chanting/ you're still standing, still glancing, you fear rambling/ so you reach inside for the courage to break the grappeling/ hold the moment’s got on you, a message deep inside of you/ urging words outta your gut, it's not enough so you gotta do/ everything, you gotta move your lips to bring outside the truth/ you fight the welling up, shutting close your eyes, surprised that you spewed/ it to the crowd, the moments loud, the freeze is thawed/ you're finding out, you're all about the freedom talk/ without a doubt, you shout it out you live and walk/ a life worth sharing bout and so you seek and stalk/ another freeze epiphany, before you hit senility/ the reasonings ability to see your life as seasoning/ be gracious for the things that He has give you to see and become/ ready for the next opportunity feel the freezing breeze/

Rose around the hoop, but only opened by my Root/ Faith is like one that slowly rolls around the hoop/ When the game is on the line, it’s falling out or going through/ A thousand doubts are running through your mind, a thousand boos/ And “I told you so’s” await you but you’re focused on the Truth/ Swoosh, green room, live House of Blues/ No longer do I house the blues, God moves/ In a room of thousands or ten in a high school/ In the land of China and back in the Chi too/ You’d be acting surprised too/ Knowing the most bashful and shy youth is now in a passionate rhyme crew/ Smashing live tunes, get em on iTunes/ Tight grooves mastered by the Passion of Christ dude/ Everlasting… this life… who?/ Could ever grasp it… I try to/ I can’t imagine… if I could explain/ All the vastness, and madness, I’d still be amazed/ This is thanks, for the year that we had/ 2010, St. Bagu, the year of the dads/ God steering it’s clear can’t veer from the path/ New life, but it’s not new that it’s been good and I’m glad/
