These Daze (feat. Jonny Donson & Andre Hando) - 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

Elevator buttons and morning air Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares But right now, my time is theirs Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, but my choice is you So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours You never know what people have up their sleeves Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip-gloss smiles But I don't care, 'cause right now you're mine And you'll say, "Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours" And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong, and Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong, and I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you 'Cause I love the gap between your teeth And I love the riddles that you speak And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos Will be ignored, 'cause my heart is yours So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine But they can't take what's ours They can't take what's ours The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours

Tall, dark, and superman He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away To save the world or go to work It's the same thing to me He's got his mothers eyes, his father's ambition I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him I hang on every word you say And you smile and say, "How are you?" I'll say, "Just fine" I always forget to tell you I love you, I love you forever I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down Tall, dark and beautiful He's complicated, he's irrational But I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day, yeah Something in his deep brown eyes has me singing He's not all bad like his reputation And I can't hear one single word they say And you leave, got places to be and I'll be okay I always forget to tell you I love you I loved you from the very first day I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down And I watch you fly around the world And I hope you don't save some other girl Don't forget, don't forget about me I'm far away but I'll never let you go I'm lovestruck and looking out the window Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be Right here, wishing the flowers were from you Wishing the card was from you Wishing the call was from you 'Cause I've loved you from the very first day I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around Forever and ever I watch superman fly away I swear, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la When you come back down
