Novelas (feat. Jonny Donson & Brandi Lentini) - Zane Taylor

Is this what you had expected before Is it less, Is it more Is it best when you're lettin' it pour Can I trust if it's defected and torn And the stress it absorbs Through ya chest and the core with a lesson ignored Situations they didn't change I need me a big escape I'm thinkin' a prison break To dissipate the war Now I guess my blessings left through the door but This is just what I expected, I get it of course Yeah Up in the night Hopin' the fam is straight and they safe from the strife Mama askin' when the blow up coming feel like asking God what is life I don't wanna talk about it for better or worse That's some shit we do not do Feel like the harder we push it inside the more that we hurtin' the people who got you Pops taught me not to show any weakness You show yo true feelins' don't let them see it Soon as they sense it, they pocket it Next time yo back is turned they gon' use it believe it Life ain't really what you see on the TV They make it look easy that shits an illusion Head to the streets and I'll prove it Fluent, study the people and learn to maneuver Only thing people respect is money and power they never gon' settle for less Secret is ain't no milli get made except by finessin' the ones who got less Pull the curtains of a broken system It's people of color that's pulley pushing Only solution is revolution Only solution is revolution, Let's go head and do it Is this what you had expected before Is it less, Is it more Is it best when you're lettin' it pour Can I trust if it's defected and torn And the stress it absorbs Through ya chest and the core with a lesson ignored Situations they didn't change I need me a big escape I'm thinkin' a prison break To dissipate the war Now I guess my blessings left through the door but This is just what I expected, I get it of course Aye Up in the booth, press record Daydreamin' 'bout things I can't afford I've been working hard to have a brighter life But I'm stuck in dead-end 9 to 5 Tryin' my best to go forward But there's so much shit in my way My inner doubts and my inner demons are makin' me lose my place I've been screaming out now tryna make a loud sound But no one will hear what I say Wanna be further along, I gotta be strong to get to the place where I'm tryna belong Night is darkest right before the dawn But sometimes even when you're right, you're wrong I want a better life for me and my own Want crowns for my people, wanna sit on my throne Want a girl so fine with a life so sweet Wanna come on home, kick back my feet Want a nice new whip, wanna make it all clean Wanna make it shine, wanna make it all gleam Wanna sit on my porch, look back at it all Wanna see me rise, never see me fall Fall back to the grind, no stress in the back of my mind Is this what you had expected before Is it less, Is it more Is it best when you're lettin' it pour Can I trust if it's defected and torn And the stress it absorbs Through ya chest and the core with a lesson ignored Situations they didn't change I need me a big escape I'm thinkin' a prison break To dissipate the war Now I guess my blessings left through the door but This is just what I expected, I get it of course

Put your lips close to mine As long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye 'Til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away But you're quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I like it I can't decide if it's a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay All we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This hope is treacherous This daydream is dangerous This hope is treacherous I, I, I I, I, I I, I, I Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I will follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it
