Verse 1: Are you the one up in the clouds? The one they sing the songs about Are you the one they call the king? Are you the one who’ll take my soul? When I am off this earthly road Are you the one the angels sing to? Chorus: And for what it’s worth I’ve tried living my best life I’ve held on to love with all my heart And when this is over I hope I’ll come to ya And ask you these questions myself Verse 2: Are you the one who made the grass? Why did you make my heart like glass? Each time I fall in love it breaks to pieces Are you a he, are you a she? And is your skin so dark like me? Oh tell me does it even matter? Chorus: And for what it’s worth I’ve tried living my best life I’ve held on to love with all my heart And when this is over I hope I’ll come to ya And ask you these questions myself Verse 3: Why do we live to die? Do you even see the tears we cry? Not asking cos I doubt Just want to know what you’re about I pray that all of my good deeds are good enough Chorus: And for what it’s worth I’ve tried living my best life I’ve held on to love with all my heart And when this is over I hope I’ll come to ya And ask you these questions myself Outro: Are you the one?

[Hook: Dwin, The Stoic]: I would like to see your face When the sun comes out at night I would like to see you soon My darling don't take flight Don't take flight [Verse 1: BarelyAnyHook]: 'Cos shit's been crazy The season's changing Can't freeze the frame 'cos I'm in the Matrix I might not be The One I can't embrace it Might need some saving And sins of David Got me talking up this chick whose basis is They ain't really dating they just making ends meet naked Bill payments ain't making sense Adding up Out of luck Bad enough It's catastrophic Past the subject Baby don't catch the bus yet Stand for something I vertigo, crash, you jump in Gas me up then laugh when I lapse in judgement Wear a mask in public It's got me on road like word Trapped inside my head got my lobes like brr Wrestle with the signal in a lifeline verse I put you before me but I might die first Shit, I think the zeitgeist heard [Hook: Dwin, The Stoic]: I would like to see your face When the sun comes out at night I would like to see you soon My darling don't take flight Don't take flight [Verse 2: Paybac]: Yeah I get why you woulda left Yeah I get but you shouldn'ta left When my stress put me under pressure I cracked like a piece of egg would Would give me head till I skipped a lecture Then I heard that you get a next one Loved me, me and my depression Can't tell where the hell we went wrong I give my all if you call me back My phone'll ring I get heart attack You better half and that's simple maths I don't know if it's too much to ask I text about it group call and chat Feel like night is coming please take me back [Hook: Dwin, The Stoic]: I would like to see your face When the sun comes out at night I would like to see you soon My darling don't take flight Don't take flight Don't take flight

[VERSE 1: DWIN, THE STOIC] Take a glance at me And I’m sure you’ll see That I’d rather be here by myself I have walked these roads And I’m sure you know That I’d rather be left all alone Than be threatened in somebody’s home [HOOK: DWIN, THE STOIC] I have seen the worst of life I have walked so many miles Even when you hold my hand I still feel left alone I still feel left alone [VERSE 2: 3RTY] And it’s hard to see All the good you mean ‘Cos I’m used to fending for myself Writing all these bars Just my keys and guitar I would rather not become a star Than be threatened in somebody’s car [Chorus: 3RTY] I have seen the worst of life I have walked so many miles Even when you hold my hand I still feel left alone I still feel left alone [VERSE 3] [DWIN, THE STOIC] No one is too strong We all need to be loved We know the feeling And we are searching [3RTY] Though there is promise around The gold is yet to be found Until then we are still the lonely [Chorus: DWIN, THE STOIC] I have seen the worst of life I have walked so many miles Even when you hold my hand I still feel left alone I still feel left alone

VERSE 1: Don’t let me come undone Tell me I’m not alone Don’t mirrors tell the truth? Why don’t I see all I’ve been through? BRIDGE: You said you’d spend forever with me Somebody lied and it wasn’t me Oh how you took my will to live Somehow I’m here speaking of love My heart is praying to God above Oh cos you took all I could give CHORUS: And in the night I’ll stand With my heart in my hand and I’ll say What’s become of me? And in the day you’ll be here Lying in my bed and asking What’s become of me and you? VERSE 2: I made my heart your home A place to lay your head But your heart is made of stone And nothing grows there, it’s all dead You said oh… BRIDGE: You said you’d spend forever with me Somebody lied and it wasn’t me Oh how you took my will to live Somehow I’m here thinking of love My heart is praying to God above Oh cos you took all I could give CHORUS: And in the night I’ll stand With my heart in my hand and I’ll say What’s become of me? And in the day you’ll be here Lying in my bed and asking What’s become of me and you? What’s become of us?

Verse 1: There's been a lot on my mind Since you left me here alone I tell myself I'll be fine Ignore the pain in my bone I wrote this song a while ago It had a happy melody I changed the words and made it slow Now you're not here next to me So... Chorus: Where are you? Where've you gone? It's hard to do these things alone I wrote these words to make you smile This was meant to be a happy song Verse 2: Called your phone a couple times I know you're not there but I try The doctor said you'd be fine Now I know that doctors lie I wrote this on my way to you To make you smile and make you laugh Until the day we meet again This song will be all I have Chorus: Where are you? Where've you gone? It's hard to do these things alone I wrote these words to make you smile This was meant to be a happy song Chorus: Where are you? Where've you gone? It's hard to do these things alone I wrote these words to make you smile This was meant to be a happy song

VERSE 1: I saw a ghost at midnight One that looked just like you Freckles on her face And eyes so big and blue When did you start to haunt dreams? When did you start to roam? Darling I put you inside the earth Never to roam again CHORUS: I’ve been up I’ve been down I’ve seen things all around But this one has me shook See I don’t pray a lot Heaven please hear my cry Let me see another day Let this ghost go away Let this ghost go away Yh yh VERSE 2: I’ve packed my bags, I’m leaving I can’t even get some sleep You’re everywhere I go The house is yours to keep Oh when did you start to haunt dreams? Oh when did you even die? Why’d you decide to haunt me? Oh darling please tell me why CHORUS: I’ve been up I’ve been down I’ve seen things all around But this one has me shook See I don’t pray a lot Heaven please hear my cry Let me see another day Let this ghost go away Let this ghost go away VERSE 3: I’m scared I will die If this ghost doesn’t leave me It’s a shame to admit But I’m scared I’m scared I will die If this ghost doesn’t leave me It’s a shame to admit But I’m scared CHORUS: I’ve been up I’ve been down I’ve seen things all around But this one has me shook See I don’t pray a lot Heaven please hear my cry Let me see another day Let this ghost go away

[VERSE 1: DWIN, THE STOIC] The days go and I cry I’m quite sure I’m not meant to live this life Without you by my side I hear you when I wake But I know That you’re much too far away There’s no on here to confide in All these things That I hold on to my heart They will make me mad someday But until then Here’s what I’ll say [Chorus: DWIN, THE STOIC] Goodbye to Lagos nights Goodbye to sunny days Goodbye to all the things we said Oh no it’s over Goodbye to all we had All those plans we made Oh it’s the end of an era Why’d you have to go [VERSE 2: JAMAL SWISS] Wait Is this real? I am all alone? Like if I call You’ll never pick the phone again? I don’t get it I ain’t ready Come back and you can go when I’m ready Shit – I’m never ready But you know this I need notice And even when you give me one I still blow it So why the hell would you leave me without a notice Ugh I’m sorry You taught me well not to raise my voice Talk sharp, all the chairs turn Winning ain’t about high notes But right now my faith is baritone My faith need a fix. I need help Bring back an afterlife t-shirt Then it’s fixed. Don’t leave first You still never told me your passcodes I kept tryna get in but I failed still We really should have taken more videos These pictures don’t show your killer moves And how we used to run just to get to food Swo! Was our the ghetto mood Your smile was my moon to my dark night These days I’m alone- an Allen night [Chorus: DWIN, THE STOIC] Goodbye to Lagos nights Goodbye to sunny days Goodbye to all the things we said Oh no it’s over Goodbye to all we had All those plans we made Oh it’s the end of an era Why’d you have to go

Niggas really out here testing me Cos I been living on a new wave of modesty And they be thinking they can get away with stressing me Listen; Last week I was walking home When I saw these lil niggas with a black mask on And they came up to me with a blade in hand Asking me; hey nigga where your wallet son?! (Do you believe that?) Now I really got a problem with robbing people But these young Gs are so damn disrespectful I mean this nigga really called me son And he probably even younger than my desert eagle So I pulled up what I got and I let em know That you gotta learn to respect whether out or home And I didn’t hesitate just to hit it home Now their brains’ in the end of my roscoe [HOOK: DWIN, THE STOIC] I say prayers For those who cross my path I forgive some And others I do not Tread carefully When you see me here Or else heaven will get another one I’ll send another one [VERSE 2: VADER] Dear God can you hear me?
