I'm from Brooklyn
Brooklyn...
We go hard, yeah yeah yeah
We go...........
Nowhere.
I'm from Brooklyn
But I could've moved to Staten Island
Staten Island
We go...?
Shopping?
Ha, it's sad but true.
Yet there's more to it than that.
There's more to it than shopping
There's more to it than rich girls
There's more to it than guido boys
There's...music.
Music that makes me.
Music that fills my soul and takes over my fingers
Music that can't be described through the sounds it makes
But the feeling it stirs
That's Staten Island.
I could've moved to Staten Island.
I always wonder though
How life would be if I was not
FROM Brooklyn anymore
Brooklyn
Where I have to stay inside
Brooklyn where I need to triple lock my doors
Brooklyn where if I am out passed nine, the cops should be ready for a phone call
Brooklyn that place where I am hidden
Brooklyn...Where I am no one
You want friends here? I'm sure you'll find them if you're yourself.
But me, I could never be MY-Self. Because myself does not go hard.
And I can't GO NOWHERE.
I NEED to GO
To Staten Island.
Staten Island
Where I learn to sing
Where I meet my dreams
Where I open up and find myself
Passed a curfew of 9...10...11
Twelve...
Staten Island
Those mazed out roads
Never make me feel like I'm lost
But this damn Brooklyn Grid looks so entangled in it's corners
I'm from Brooklyn
They go hard, yeah, so I've heard
I could've moved to Staten Island
But I go...nowhere...
Yeah, yeah....yeah...

Muscle Memory
Smooth and sudden
You make me come in
Come in, come in
You take my loving
Loving, loving
No voice needed
But I've got you under my skin
Every ounce
I'm gonna take you in.
Put your hand in mine
Place your waist down on the line
Pretend lips are camera lenses
Place me into all your senses
Put your hand in mine
Place your waist down on the line
Pretend lips are camera lenses
Place me into all your senses
Put your hand in mine
Place your waist down on the line
Pretend lips are camera lenses
Place me into all your senses
Put your hand in mine
Place your waist down on the line
Pretend lips are camera lenses
Place me into all your senses
Place me into...
You make me come in
Come in, come in
You take my loving
Loving, loving
No voice needed
But I've got you under my skin
Every ounce
I'm gonna take you in.
Put your hand in mine
Place your waist down on the line
Pretend lips are camera lenses
Place me into all your senses
Put your hand in mine
Place your waist down on the line
Pretend lips are camera lenses
Place me into all your senses
Put your hand in mine
Place your waist down on the line
Pretend lips are camera lenses
Place me into all your senses
Put your hand in mine
Place your waist down on the line
Pretend lips are camera lenses
Place me into all your senses
Place me into...
Sing it Back (lyrics)
Have you lost hope
In the world
You try to cry out
But no clouds unfurl
There is nothing
You're not in search of
You want, you need, you deserve
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on
When you felt like you've spoken your words
And no one has ever listened,
I'll repeat it back verse for verse,
Not a letter missing
Cause I know what it's like to be
The only one who's listening to me
When you felt like you've spoken your words
And no one has ever listened,
I'll repeat it back verse for verse,
Not a letter missing
Cause I know what it's like to be
The only one who's listening to me
When you felt like you've spoken your words
And no one has ever listened,
I'll repeat it back verse for verse,
Not a letter missing
Cause I know what it's like to be
The only one who's listening to me
In the world
You try to cry out
But no clouds unfurl
There is nothing
You're not in search of
You want, you need, you deserve
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on
When you felt like you've spoken your words
And no one has ever listened,
I'll repeat it back verse for verse,
Not a letter missing
Cause I know what it's like to be
The only one who's listening to me
When you felt like you've spoken your words
And no one has ever listened,
I'll repeat it back verse for verse,
Not a letter missing
Cause I know what it's like to be
The only one who's listening to me
When you felt like you've spoken your words
And no one has ever listened,
I'll repeat it back verse for verse,
Not a letter missing
Cause I know what it's like to be
The only one who's listening to me

Bluntly (lyrics)
This is how it is
Let's not walk around this
You're screwed up
I'm completely nuts
I've got no one better
Your friend's say "You might as well let her"
I can't want you
I won't ever
But we'll be like this forever
Because good enough, is just enough
When you're a heart
In search of love
Here is where it ends, begins
Where back and forth can cease again
You're persistent
I'm non-resistant
I've got no way out
You tell yourself "At least there's no doubt"
I can't want you
I won't ever
But we'll be like this forever
Because good enough, is just enough
When you're a heart
In search of love
You're all I've got
You're all I've got
I'm not what you want
I'm not what you want
You're all I'll take
You're all I'll take
I'm you're mistake
I'm you're mistake
I can't love you
I won't ever
But we'll be like this forever
Because good enough, is just enough
When you're a heart
In search of love
Let's not walk around this
You're screwed up
I'm completely nuts
I've got no one better
Your friend's say "You might as well let her"
I can't want you
I won't ever
But we'll be like this forever
Because good enough, is just enough
When you're a heart
In search of love
Here is where it ends, begins
Where back and forth can cease again
You're persistent
I'm non-resistant
I've got no way out
You tell yourself "At least there's no doubt"
I can't want you
I won't ever
But we'll be like this forever
Because good enough, is just enough
When you're a heart
In search of love
You're all I've got
You're all I've got
I'm not what you want
I'm not what you want
You're all I'll take
You're all I'll take
I'm you're mistake
I'm you're mistake
I can't love you
I won't ever
But we'll be like this forever
Because good enough, is just enough
When you're a heart
In search of love
Never hear mine (lyrics)
Words they tend to sting
Like salted wounds on my feet
There's nothing bittersweet
About it...
You've got the worst of me
Uncover eyes to see me clearly
And you'll see me bleeding,
Bleeding out
You knew me well enough
To take my heart for granted
But you never saw the hurt
When your vision was slanted (slanted)
They say there's three sides to every story
But you never heard mine
Drown me under your covers
With every downfall I have
There's nothing secretive
About you...
You've had the best of me
Open up your eyes, see me clearly
And you'll see me trying,
Trying to say
You knew me well enough
To take my heart for granted
But you never saw the hurt
When your vision was slanted (slanted)
They say there's three sides to every story
But you never heard mine
Listen up
You never got enough
Of what I needed to say
Listen up
I was never good enough
But I needed (needed) to say
Listen up...
Or you'll never hear mine
You knew me well enough
To take my heart for granted
But you never saw the hurt
When your vision was slanted
They say there's three sides to every story
But you never heard mine
Yeah, they say there's three sides to every story
You will never hear mine...
Like salted wounds on my feet
There's nothing bittersweet
About it...
You've got the worst of me
Uncover eyes to see me clearly
And you'll see me bleeding,
Bleeding out
You knew me well enough
To take my heart for granted
But you never saw the hurt
When your vision was slanted (slanted)
They say there's three sides to every story
But you never heard mine
Drown me under your covers
With every downfall I have
There's nothing secretive
About you...
You've had the best of me
Open up your eyes, see me clearly
And you'll see me trying,
Trying to say
You knew me well enough
To take my heart for granted
But you never saw the hurt
When your vision was slanted (slanted)
They say there's three sides to every story
But you never heard mine
Listen up
You never got enough
Of what I needed to say
Listen up
I was never good enough
But I needed (needed) to say
Listen up...
Or you'll never hear mine
You knew me well enough
To take my heart for granted
But you never saw the hurt
When your vision was slanted
They say there's three sides to every story
But you never heard mine
Yeah, they say there's three sides to every story
You will never hear mine...
Boys Cry (lyrics)
Some boys are fragile
Some girls act strong
Some boys have shoulders
To hang girls hearts on
Others have hearts
To handle with care
Some girls that take it
Don't know how to play fair
Pass it around, pass it around
Hearts fall to the ground
Girls they cry, girls they weep
But no one wonders how the boys keep
Tears from their eyes, hands they've untied
Nobody wonders how or why
Boys cry
Some girls are cold
Some boys are warm
Some girls break boys in
If they stay too long
Others tell lies
To keep up their faces
Some girls like the boys
Who know where there place is
Pass it around, pass it around
Hearts fall to the ground
Girls they cry, girls they weep
But no one wonders how the boys keep
Tears from their eyes, hands they've untied
Nobody wonders how or why
Boys cry
Chests too strong to cave under the weight of pain
All along not one can let it out or erase
They carry around, hearts grating the ground
But no tears to make a sound...
Pass it around, pass it around
Hearts fall to the ground
Girls they cry, girls they weep
But no one wonders how the boys keep
Tears from their eyes, hands they've untied
Nobody wonders how or why
Boys cry
Some girls act strong
Some boys have shoulders
To hang girls hearts on
Others have hearts
To handle with care
Some girls that take it
Don't know how to play fair
Pass it around, pass it around
Hearts fall to the ground
Girls they cry, girls they weep
But no one wonders how the boys keep
Tears from their eyes, hands they've untied
Nobody wonders how or why
Boys cry
Some girls are cold
Some boys are warm
Some girls break boys in
If they stay too long
Others tell lies
To keep up their faces
Some girls like the boys
Who know where there place is
Pass it around, pass it around
Hearts fall to the ground
Girls they cry, girls they weep
But no one wonders how the boys keep
Tears from their eyes, hands they've untied
Nobody wonders how or why
Boys cry
Chests too strong to cave under the weight of pain
All along not one can let it out or erase
They carry around, hearts grating the ground
But no tears to make a sound...
Pass it around, pass it around
Hearts fall to the ground
Girls they cry, girls they weep
But no one wonders how the boys keep
Tears from their eyes, hands they've untied
Nobody wonders how or why
Boys cry
Miss Take (lyrics)
Silver Steps, Light Dress
She's got a lot on her chest
But she'll rip it, rip it, rip it right off
If you--
If there were better, She's the best
Laying hands all over your chest
But she'll go, go, go lower
If you let her
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
I don't wanna get in her way
But if she crosses my path
She'll feel the aftermath
Of Miss misbehave!
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
Anchored Hips, Every Way
She has the curves to keep the boys at bay
And she'll use them, use them, use them
If you--
There can't be better, she's the best
The devil's mistress in a strapless dress
And it slips, slips, slips right off
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
I don't wanna get in her way
But if she crosses my path
She'll feel the aftermath
Of Miss misbehave!
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
She's not the only one
Who has that kind of fun
But I get mine--in better ways
Miss Take, Don't mistake me, Miss Take
It's easy to be better than someone easy
It wouldn't be me to take it down like that
It's easy to be better than someone easy
I don't need to be like that to get through
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
I don't wanna get in her way
But if she crosses my path
She'll feel the aftermath
Of Miss misbehave!
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
She's not the only one
Who has that kind of fun
But I get mine--in better ways
Miss Take, Don't mistake me, Miss Take
Don't.
She's got a lot on her chest
But she'll rip it, rip it, rip it right off
If you--
If there were better, She's the best
Laying hands all over your chest
But she'll go, go, go lower
If you let her
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
I don't wanna get in her way
But if she crosses my path
She'll feel the aftermath
Of Miss misbehave!
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
Anchored Hips, Every Way
She has the curves to keep the boys at bay
And she'll use them, use them, use them
If you--
There can't be better, she's the best
The devil's mistress in a strapless dress
And it slips, slips, slips right off
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
I don't wanna get in her way
But if she crosses my path
She'll feel the aftermath
Of Miss misbehave!
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
She's not the only one
Who has that kind of fun
But I get mine--in better ways
Miss Take, Don't mistake me, Miss Take
It's easy to be better than someone easy
It wouldn't be me to take it down like that
It's easy to be better than someone easy
I don't need to be like that to get through
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
I don't wanna get in her way
But if she crosses my path
She'll feel the aftermath
Of Miss misbehave!
Don't mistake me, Miss Take
She's not the only one
Who has that kind of fun
But I get mine--in better ways
Miss Take, Don't mistake me, Miss Take
Don't.

Still (lyrics)
I can only take so much
Before I crumble standing here
Still you want to treat me
Like you never needed me
You're a vacant soul
With eyes like cold
Which spreads to the floor beneath me
Still I want to treat you right
Before you try to leave me
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything left?
Is there still hope for us?
Or is everything still...
The mess we left
I've learned to take a lot more
Then what I've ever given
Still I want to try and see
If life is worth living
You were a hopeless case
Who lost their face
And only I could see it
Still I wanted you before I knew
That it'd make me so depleted
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything left?
Is there still hope for us?
Or is everything still...
The mess we left
I can't lose hope
I can't lose feelings
I can't feel hope
Without you near me
I know you're wrong
I know you're not for me
But still I need...
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything left?
Is there still hope for us?
Or is everything still...
The mess we left
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything here?
Is there still...anything...
Before I crumble standing here
Still you want to treat me
Like you never needed me
You're a vacant soul
With eyes like cold
Which spreads to the floor beneath me
Still I want to treat you right
Before you try to leave me
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything left?
Is there still hope for us?
Or is everything still...
The mess we left
I've learned to take a lot more
Then what I've ever given
Still I want to try and see
If life is worth living
You were a hopeless case
Who lost their face
And only I could see it
Still I wanted you before I knew
That it'd make me so depleted
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything left?
Is there still hope for us?
Or is everything still...
The mess we left
I can't lose hope
I can't lose feelings
I can't feel hope
Without you near me
I know you're wrong
I know you're not for me
But still I need...
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything left?
Is there still hope for us?
Or is everything still...
The mess we left
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything here?
Is there still anything here?
Is there still...anything...
Lick (lyrics)
Oh just let me
Oh just let me
I'd be more than willing
To lick a little flavor
It's really not a favor
When I'm doing what I want
Don't take me wrong
I haven't been doing this long
But as long as I've done it,
It's what I've longed to do
Does it seem so wrong?
To be a girl who knows what she does
To be a girl who's not as innocent as she seems
Not innocent at the seams
Oh I'll let you
Oh I'll let you
Take a little step forward
Let you lick a little...ha...more
It's never going to be a bore
When I always want more
Don't take me wrong
I haven't been doing this long
But as long as I've done it,
It's what I've longed to do
Does it seem so wrong?
To be a girl who knows what she does
To be a girl who's not as innocent as she seems
Not innocent at the seams
Not every girl is an actress
Not every girl will hide her intentions
I have no need to hide the devil in me
I have to get what I need
Not every girl is like me
Not every girl is like me
Don't take me wrong
I haven't been doing this long
But as long as I've done it,
It's what I've longed to do
Does it seem so wrong?
To be a girl who knows what she does
To be a girl who's not as innocent as she seems
Not innocent at the seams
Not at all at the seams
Oh just let me
I'd be more than willing
To lick a little flavor
It's really not a favor
When I'm doing what I want
Don't take me wrong
I haven't been doing this long
But as long as I've done it,
It's what I've longed to do
Does it seem so wrong?
To be a girl who knows what she does
To be a girl who's not as innocent as she seems
Not innocent at the seams
Oh I'll let you
Oh I'll let you
Take a little step forward
Let you lick a little...ha...more
It's never going to be a bore
When I always want more
Don't take me wrong
I haven't been doing this long
But as long as I've done it,
It's what I've longed to do
Does it seem so wrong?
To be a girl who knows what she does
To be a girl who's not as innocent as she seems
Not innocent at the seams
Not every girl is an actress
Not every girl will hide her intentions
I have no need to hide the devil in me
I have to get what I need
Not every girl is like me
Not every girl is like me
Don't take me wrong
I haven't been doing this long
But as long as I've done it,
It's what I've longed to do
Does it seem so wrong?
To be a girl who knows what she does
To be a girl who's not as innocent as she seems
Not innocent at the seams
Not at all at the seams
