Love Life 03:11
Love Life Lyric Sheet Written by: Clean Produced by: Luke Shrestha Verse 1 Reflecting on the days that I came up Everybody packing the steel I’m talking Stain-less More homicides cause they don’t let the drama slide I done seen too much death I should be traumatized (yea) But who knows I might be PTSD in my life is more than likely They so don’t hold it in So I let it out Through the music That’s where I get to yell it out And choose love so i'll never be a hater Learned to get it on my own in the home of the Raiders Independent hustle so nobody can debate em I was raised in the game so nobody ever played em I learned life is all about What you make it And nothing comes free in this world You gotta take it Never live a lie or fake it until you make it Opportunities aren’t planned Therefore you must create it Chorus X2 Put ya hands in the air if ya love life Don't lose the groove just do it all night Verse 2 Realized I got a lot more to live for And it’s always people doing worse so I give more Not rich in pocket But my heart deep So Imma give to the world Until my heart beat stops But for now it’s my duty To push peace and love in the world and find beauty Despite opposition if they all wanna view me in a negative way Cause see I gotta give the true me And I’m just trynna be a beacon of light I know that nobody’s perfect We just getting it right But I’m just trynna rid the world of the stereo types And maybe elevate yo mind to a aerial height (hey) (uh) So please take a listen The choice is yours You only get what you giving The time is now so I hope you make it your mission To be the best author of how your story written Verse 3 So if you blessed to see another day You gotta live in the moment to take the pain away Be defined by who you are not what you used to be Cause life’s about change not continuity So Let go of the past and dream free Not confined by the rules set by society Just find ya own path You already got the key To open up every door Take a step and you’ll see

If Only Lyric Sheet Written by: Clean & Luke Shrestha Produced by: Luke Shrestha Verse 1 I saw the potential You had the credentials All of the time you stayed on my mental Gave you my heart cause I don’t do rentals Now you driving me crazy Guess the time wasn’t perfect But I know that it’s worth it And it’s sad to say cause we don’t wanna believe it ain’t working Naw You say we better as friends But you know it’s a lie Cause no one can replace what I’m still trynna hide You the real type Chill type Down to earth, might get a kneel If you really trynna build in life No hype Took a break and pray you come right back Cause girl I don't really wanna feel liiike. Chorus If only time could rewind again If only present could be past I’d live Like if only would’ve never been I’d be holding you closer than I ever did So let’s go Back (Let’s go back) So let’s go Back (Let’s go back) So let’s gooo Back (Well alright) So let’s go Back (Let’s go back) So let’s go Back Verse 2 One month too long all alone Gotta roam wasn't ready for the break up No lie kill pride I can see it on ya face that you ready for the make up (Wake up) nightmares of the worst day, reminiscing bout ya birthday And all the time we shared no longer spared Working on a new first date Too busy with life and making it right neglecting yo touch Yo voice in the night Was never enough, I need you in sight the moment you left I knew it was wrong So now we just text with no feeling If given a chance I can heal it Cause blank stares at the ceiling got me like (Chorus) Bridge You said forever wouldn’t be enough (No, no) How did you change your mind From thinking bout us? To leaving a blank space That used to be filled with love Then breaking your promise That you would keep my heart (No, nooo) Verse 3 Since time passed It ain’t the same We try to make it deep But it’s simple and plain Where the love go? How you feel girl? Tell me was I ever living in the real world? You told me play the cards that I’m dealt Well what’s the deal girl?

Fools Gold Lyric Sheet Written by: Clean Produced by: Luke Shrestha & Alec Justice Verse 1 I done been through some real shit So I ain’t even gon stress though I can’t I’m just trynna make a mill quick Get my mama outta debt so I’m out here Just grinding like a muthafucka And praying one day that it pay off So I stay on the hustle The struggle is real That’s why I cannot take a day off I got Too much on my list now So I focus on the hits now Can’t sit down Work hard till the checks come And it’s mortgage over rent now Blue chips now Yea I’m talking bout val-ue And paving the way to allow you To have what you want on this earth If you trynna go get it let me show you how to Chorus X2 Fools Gold I ain’t talking bout him I ain’t talking bout her I’m talking bout me And one day the world will know When stars align when skies will fall What I’m talking bout. Verse 2 I ain’t even posed to be here Cause the odds was against me But what? But I’m bout to tell a new story Pre re-write history Keep going Bout a kid who never had shit Working his ass off to keep up While chasing a dream nobody else seen Or thought that it really could be one Now what? Now I’m out here on a slow grind And I’m working on my own time Which I don’t mind Only focused on the future now No time for the rewind Let it stay behind And I’m blind to fact that I was raised in the city were the track smack Where the guns don’t sleep And the babies don’t eat And the church next door To where the trap at Chorus X2 Verse 3 Now it’s crunch time So I’m focused everyday on these punch lines Cause I remember the days when I came up Al-ways posted in the free lunch line Must grind I ain’t trynna go back now So I’m ready wit a plan of attack now Of how to get doe Flip moe Don’t blow it Just grow it Do it off a lil bit of rap now You are what you attract now Focused on the stacks now Killing competition Never been the type to back down Put it in sack now Black child raised in the Hood where its normal that You gotta keep a strap around Oh wow Every day it goes down Trynna be a cash cow Beef in the streets You gotta milk it till it’s gone now Get it on ya own now Earned every dollar I ain’t looking for a loan now King of the throne now Left behind everything I knew My family, my city and a w2 Bet it all on a dream deferred I’m gon be heard I see it all from a bird’s eye view Elevated perspective So I’m never neglecting The reason why I do it Wit not 1 exception I just gotta keep going Even when I’m feeling hopeless Since nobody gave us nothing Imma be that blessing (uh) Chorus X2 Bridge Doubt on my mental From struggles I been through So when life got me beat I can’t help but to think that I’m so instrumental To the world that we live in I’m just playing my part So I bleed on the page Wear my heart on the stage And it’s all for the sake of the art Chorus X2

You’ll Never Wish Lyric Sheet Written by: Clean, Luke Shrestha and Simon Jay Produced by: Luke Shrestha Chorus If day was night Was this be real as it is? Would I see sides of you that shouldn’t exist? I turned my back to things you couldn’t resist You’d have a thousand stars But this shooting star you’ll never wish Verse 1 Hijacked by yo love can I get it back? My heart you stole it and broke it in pieces now I can put it back, Together relationship is like the weather You switching up on me daily I think I need a umbrella cause It’s coming down I can start to feel the rain and uh It’s getting harder I can start to feel the pain and I Thought it was real but it was nothing but a game to ya, I would’ve gave my last name to ya but uh You can keep wishing on a star and a thousand because I heard you tell ya friends you can do without em and uh The truth is I wanna wish you the best But see I gotta get this off my chest before I move on Pre chorus When seasons change Will love remain? I ask myself Chorus X1 Verse 2 Who would've thought what was love at first site Could be over in the blink of a eye? I guess it make sense. Cause fast love can crash love when past loves Come back to reclaim they spot Ain’t gotta ask cause I guess I shoulda known the rules of engagement Played my position but you were so amazing So yea I fell for you And went through hell for you Heart locked jail for you Even when the others came around I wouldn’t bail for you Kept it in cell for you Phone locked mail for you Now I get the picture and the message couldn’t tell who was Taking ya energy commanding your attention Shoulda known because you never would listen Bout now I’m moving on Chorus X1 Bridge I spend my wishes on the idea of you Every wishing well Every time I knelt I’d put my hands together Ask god to help you Now I’m wishing less And just flying more Chorus X1
