Never Wanted it All Lyrics by Samuel Nash Music by Fabien Préaux REFRAIN He never wanted it all Never wanted the same Forever lost in the game To give a thought to the gain No amount will remain Though the "Go" was the goal He didn't fold for the gold He put a crack in the mold He never wanted it all Never wanted the chains But when he flaunted the grain The many moons of work The jerks just working the reign Critics blurring the names The service certain as rain The service certain as rain VERSE First of all, let me explain, first of all Versatile as heavy, working the lanes Versus all First to halt, nurse with salt Better percs in the maze Nothing wrong with minor What is success by designer Babylon is ripe for the pimping Righteousness slipping The reality (is) what's right is the different (the distant) Opt, option in times Got us quickened Society the plaintiff Culture become the victim Cults and their waiting victims Votes are what spin the systems Denote what the winners say the losers were and who it hurts The only certainty, the facts are backwards Digestible for general consumption Ask the masters, remask the actor and it still becomes apparent Like an heir with a parent and The air isn't clear here (The air isn't clear here) REFRAIN He never wanted it all Never wanted the same Forever lost in the game To give a thought to the gain No amount will remain Though the "Go" was the goal He didn't fold for the gold He put a crack in the mold He never wanted it all Never wanted the chains But when he flaunted the grain The many moons of work The jerks just working the reign Critics blurring the names The service certain as rain The service certain as rain VERSE Life's similar to the flood's run Caution to, who it touches You are sensitive to the Subgum (*Too much MSG?) Chop Suey, chop game, or Chop Chae Nourishment's put under waters like, stop wave We at the mercy of the elements (Politics) And systems put in place For new order and new methods to Dollar flip Holla tricks, turned out like the pimp, and to his Bottom bitch Call it Gotham or Babylon, this is not a test Rotten glitch, gotten from viruses Fresh as in the produce Those tools are amateurish when you know you Seems the only method to hold it together Indeed it's in your self to get The measurement and the measure The keeper is the wealth and what's a treasure? We deem it So what's your price and how's your pride after you seized it So what's the prize? How long's the prime and when did you greet it What's the grind? And where's the time when you need it? REFRAIN He never wanted it all Never wanted the same Forever lost in the game To give a thought to the gain No amount will remain Though the "Go" was the goal He didn't fold for the gold He put a crack in the mold He never wanted it all Never wanted the chains But when he flaunted the grain The many moons of work The jerks just working the reign Critics blurring the names The service certain as rain The service certain as rain

If I Lyrics by Carlton Livingston Music by Fabien Préaux Intro: Ooh Paya bba Ya Yah! If I found the keys to your world Would you still let me in? And if I found the keys to your Heart Would you still love me Girl. But I am on the the outside looking in And when she pass she don’t look my way Lord I wish I knew what secret What does it take, What vows she wont break If I found the keys to that wall You built around your heart (Rpt) But I am just a man looking in For some good love for a good love You belong to someone else And you don’t care even if I pray If I found the keys to your world Would you still let me in)Rpt And if I found that little sweet spot Would you still want some love) Rpt HEY! HEY! Pay yaba yaah If I found the keys to your world Would you still let me in? And if I found the keys to your Heart Would you still love me Girl.
