VERSE I Lately I’ve been pretty lazy You might call it crazy But I call it "Wabababa" Lately I feel like a baby Someone entertain me With something like "Wabababa" PRE-CHORUS If that’s our freedom better drink up what is given Cause who knows if it’s for a decade or a minute We’re on the edge, so always live up to the limit Cause who knows if this dance/night is gonna be repeated Dawai/Ah! VERSE II Powered by nonesense desire By boredom and wires By everyday "Wabababa" Tired of infinite lying Of sleeping and buying the useless stuff on "Wabababa" PRE-CHORUS If that’s our freedom better drink up what is given Cause who knows if it’s for a decade or a minute We’re on the edge, so always live up to the limit Cause who knows if this dance/night is gonna be repeated Dawai/Ah!

VERSE I I choose the highest fruit when I’m so low I lose my footing when I climb above ‘Cos everything come around and then your back to love Oh you’ve go that edge, a cut above the rest PRE-CHORUS ‘Cos I’m falling, falling, falling onto new ground ‘Cos I’m falling, falling, falling onto new ground CHORUS Let the rest go, we let go, we let go, we let go, we let go, falling to new ground Let the rest go, we let go, we let go, we let go, we let go, falling to new ground VERSE II Let me share, let me share what’s heavy on my chest The slightest notion gives me hope to breathe Now the wave will crash but it will rise again Roll with the calls The warrior remains PRE-CHORUS ‘Cos I’m falling, falling, falling onto new ground ‘Cos I’m falling, falling, falling onto new ground CHORUS Let the rest go, we let go, we let go, we let go, we let go, falling to new ground Let the rest go, we let go, we let go, we let go, we let go, falling to new ground ‘Cos I’m falling, falling, falling onto new ground ‘Cos I'm

VERSE I The sweetest rose, flower of my life this is a song for us to rise the brightest eyes that shine in the night show me your light and I'll show you mine PRE-CHORUS Coz my love is your love, we sink and we swim under and over, we loosen our grip my light is your light, it shines from the moon giving us shelter, when darkness looms CHORUS I know that you're the one - you're the one with us, no setting sun - no setting sun I know that you're the one - you're the one with us, no setting sun - no setting sun VERSE II The more we feel, the higher we rise these are the days when limits the sky the softest touch, kisses that cure give me your heart and I'm yours for sure PRE-CHORUS Coz my heart is your heart we dance to the beat thunder and lightning, electrical feel my joy is your joy, it comes from the sun Shining so brightly at last we are one CHORUS I know that you're the one - you're the one with us, no setting sun - no setting sun I know that you're the one - you're the one with us, no setting sun - no setting sun You're the one No setting sun You're the one No setting sun BRIDGE (2x) No setting sun oh we can fly higher rise above the clouds yeah we got the fire CHORUS I know that you're the one - you're the one with us, no setting sun - no setting sun I know that you're the one - you're the one with us, no setting sun - no setting sun You're the one No setting sun You're the one No setting sun

VERSE I I wake up and I’m feeling exhausted Went to bed at like 3 in the morning Stayed awake just staring at my phone Shoulda put it down but couldn’t leave it alone Wasn’t even looking at anything decent Just scrolling aimlessly for no reason I know I’ve only got myself to blame The worst part is the night before was the same They say that you need 8 hours a night Ha, I’m lucky if I even get 5 I never feel revived, barely alive Wait, can you die from being sleep deprived? It’s at that moment that I decide right Tonight’s the night I break the habit of a lifetime In bed by 9, light’s out by 10 That’s if I even make til then CHORUS (2X) I need sleep, sleep, sleep I should be having sweet, sweet, dreams But I just keep keep keep Staring at my screen, screen, screen ADLIB: Aw man, why do I do this to myself? I’m literally my own worst enemy Something’s gotta change I can’t go on like this! VERSE II I stumble through the day feeling like a zombie Who’s body’s been powered purely by coffee I drink about 20 cups without flinching You know it’s bad when you don’t even mind instant (ugh) By some miracle I make it to the evening Stick a bit of Netflix on while I’m eating It’s gets to 9 o’clock and I should hit the hay But the next episode’s started to play… 3 hours later I drag myself to bed Asking “How the hell did this happen again?” I take out my phone and place it on the unit Face down though coz I’m refusing to use it But now I’m lying here staring at the ceiling Tossing and turning, anything but sleeping It’s the first time today that I’ve felt alert Ah one little look won’t hurt… CHORUS I need sleep, sleep, sleep I should be having sweet, sweet, dreams But I just keep keep keep Staring at my screen, screen, screen Man I need sleep, sleep, sleep So badly I could scream, scream, scream I should be counting sheep, sheep, sheep But I’m looking at memes, memes, memes What is actually wrong with me? I genuinely think I’ve got a problem. I’m gonna Google it… No! Just Go. To. Sleep!

Walk 02:30
VERSE I I’ve never felt so in power, believe I’m at ease as I leap through my dreams with a solid 16 And it’s deeper than me, not even for the folds and the funds The rose and the trimmings, they breach The glamor, just hammers away At the lovers of fate With dollars of pain That none of these shake And ima pray for the sun or a day With none of the the hate It’s under the great name of those that are running the race CHORUS Living in the days of the court All the contortions are flawless Divorces, all of your core forces Much more than a talk from a pulpit Mind over matter, this rapper is so awesome Bigger than Jordan's chest Walk with the orphans, Yes Walk with the orphan DROP Walk with the orphan HA VERSE II Fight the flow move venomous elements The hype will go through devilish elegance Though the price is low, I embellish the diligence I entice the pro’s through perilous evidence Mind over matter, I climb to new beats Rhyme over pants, my talent is too deep To clean for the minimal minds of lose things 5 piece in the lines of the pant, the Aileen CHORUS Living in the days of the court All the contortions are flawless Divorces, all of your core forces Much more than a talk from a pulpit Mind over matter, this rapper is so awesome Bigger than Jordan's chest Walk with the orphans, Yes BRIDGE Flee from the rhythm, it’s a larger than margin Peace to my rhythm, as I christen the departed Me, die a fiction, in the vision of darkness Smash through the prison as I kill Enterattic Fresh with my diction, slick talk to minimal Love so committal, 360 physical Raw approach quotes from the 90s spiritual HA Walk with the orphan CHORUS Living in the days of the court All the contortions are flawless Divorces, all of your core forces Much more than a talk from a pulpit Mind over matter, this rapper is so awesome Bigger than Jordan's chest Walk with the orphans, Yes Walk with the orphan

VERSE II I can´t get up this morning I fell asleep in clothes again oh no oh no again Oh lord where is my mobile I might have lost my stuff again oh no oh no again. But lucky me I found my phone I – I – I    with an invite and missed calls I – I – I    I put my party dress on I drink a bottle of rum I need my body to unwind.

VERSE I There's a room full of emptiness And then its like Paris in spring I thought your jokes were the funniest And at the end of the day my depression rings Everytime we switch lanes I‘m falling apart Can we stop playin games? I stopped feelin my heart I know at times It feels like it’s too late But I'm afraid you're letting go 'Cause you’re the only life I've ever known Girl your energy scares me But then it hurts when others around you yeah And everytime I‘m asleep I dream of you in my bed Cuz girl its you, you are always stuck in my head On the other hand you make me sick and your face drives me mad But when we fight i forgive and forget cuz I know at times It feels like it’s too late But I'm afraid you're letting go 'Cause you’re the only life I've ever known

Melody 02:41
VERSE I Take a look around Finally see what you’ve been missing You been working, I’ve been wishing For a holiday Learn to let it go Feel it coursing through your body Let the music take us away So we can escape BRIDGE Oh Follow me on to the dancefloor I can take care of you Oh It might not be what you asked for But I know you want it too Oh Follow me on to the dancefloor I can take care of you Oh Let me take care of you Oh, oh CHORUS Listen to the rhythm Feel the melody Moving like the ocean Waves you won’t believe Listen to the rhythm Follow every move I make and maybe you will be My melody VERSE II Do you feel at ease? Close your eyes and say what you see Paradise just for you and me When you hear the beat Everywhere we go You can take the music with you Move it side to side like I do Keep it on repeat BRIDGE Oh Follow me on to the dancefloor I can take care of you Oh It might not be what you asked for But I know you want it too Oh Follow me on to the dancefloor I can take care of you Oh Let me take care of you Oh, oh CHORUS Listen to the rhythm Feel the melody Moving like the ocean Waves you won’t believe Listen to the rhythm Follow every move I make and maybe you will be My melody BREAK Just one word And I can’t get enough Cause I heard The sound of your love With one touch I’ll let you take the lead But move slow And listen to my melody CHORUS Listen to the rhythm Feel the melody Moving like the ocean Waves you won’t believe Listen to the rhythm Follow every move I make and maybe you will be My melody
