01 Go Ahead
[INTRO: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Don’t look back
You can’t return to that
No words to say
Forward
I miss you
Forward
I miss you
[VERSE 1: NEDS]
In a room where flowers grow
Going towards the open road
Taking every chance
Taking every chance I can
I feel it all
I feel it all
[VERSE 2: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Thinking that I might shed my skin
(Tell me what time it is)
I done got lost in retrospect
(Checking the signs again)
Rolling my ride out on the flats
Mama don’t know my status
Her boy done turned way too fast
Impact from a stack of bad habits
[VERSE 3: DEVIN SUMMER]
I can sit and reminisce about the time spent
Stuck inside a life that’s hard to digest, when
Walls are caving in beside my bed
You knew me best when we were friends
Back then
We had the good grades, long hair
Back then
We had the night walks, county fairs
Back then, oh
I hope you can take me for who I am now
I’ve changed, by god, we’ve changed
That’s great
[CHORUS: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Don’t look back
You can’t return to that
No words to say
Forward
I miss you
Forward
I miss you
[OUTRO: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Forward
I miss you
Forward
I miss you
02 Post 2 Feel
[VERSE 1: DEVIN SUMMER]
Tell me how I’m supposed to feel
Dancing in the moonlight
Hands on your hips slide down
Is this even real
If we’re flying coach, first class
If we crash down, generating mass appeal
There’s always the islands
Heart broken, no joke when I say
I need you, the beach side, the timings
-Perfect confessionary
[VERSE 2: NEDS]
And I’m reminded
Close the eyelids
We are flying
Take off where we left off
And making time, yeah
The stars aligning
And you’re the pilot
I’m revising all the words you writing
I’m realizing
Realizing who I’m supposed to be
[VERSE 3: MEECH]
Nobody said anything
When you was pulling my strings
Making me run a marathon
I’m feeling the breeze
But when my body give out
Will you still be on my team
I can’t carry all this weight
Not built like machine
A little fragile and weak
But when I’m climbing the trees
I can see the world clear, every piece
Falling into place, not letting me breathe
Woke up in my bed, but it wasn’t a dream
I’ve been gone too long
Someone take me home
I’ve been gone too long
Someone take me home
[VERSE 4: BRADLEY CINEMA]
Feeling like a nothing
I’m bugging and steady tripping
Thinking how I’m living is different than I envisioned now
Feeling like there’s something
I’m running from in the distance
Every now and then a decision that I can’t figure out
Feeling like it’s all my fault
Missing from the set I couldn’t play my part
People at the session like where’s your partner
Think that he depressed and lay in bed too often like
I can’t really help that I’m predisposed
When I’m in this mode I wanna check out
I can’t really tell where this road’ll go
When I’m in this hole you’re what I think about
03 Thinking of You
[INTRO: MEECH]
(Okay, I think I got it)
Oh no
I’m staring at this hole
I don’t know what to do
Like how far should I go
And I don’t wanna hurt you
We can take it slow
I’m falling in the deep end
How long can we go
[CHORUS: MEECH]
I’ve been thinking of you (x7)
I’ve been thinking of you (x7)
[VERSE 1: BRADLEY CINEMA]
She got her legs up on the dashboard
What should I ask for
Make this road a crash coarse
You may wanna
Breathe in one time you’re gonna need it
I can’t believe it
This sunroof ain’t a ceiling
Got me wild’n
You got me swerving on the highway
The speed bumps don’t mean much because we in the drive way
It’s getting late (it’s getting late)
I’m losing focus (losing focus)
It’s hard to think (it’s hard to think)
When it’s motion
[CHORUS: MEECH & GRANDPA SWEATS]
I’ve been thinking of you (x7)
I’ve been thinking of you (x7)
I’ve been thinking of you (x4)
[VERSE 2: GRANDPA SWEATS & DEVIN SUMMER]
She’s got so much weight on her shoulders
I’m tryna hold some, lessen up the load if you show me how to
I kinda wish I wasn’t sober
I got those old habits tryna take control
And now I’m thinking of you
With another man
Holding hands and flying kites
Up at the park, at night up late
I know he’s probably thinking of you
And me together, birds of feathers gently floating down the sky
I cry tonight, cuz every day I’ve been
[BRIDGE: NEDS]
There you go to my head talking
You wanna go to my head
Promises we made are broken
It’s probably for the best
I just fell in love (x4)
[CHORUS: MEECH & DEVIN SUMMER]
I’ve been thinking of you (x7)
I’ve been thinking of you (x7)
I’ve been thinking of you
With another man
Holding hands and flying kites
Up at the park, at night up late
I know he’s probably thinking of you
And me together, birds of feathers gently floating down the sky
I cry tonight, cuz every day I’ve been
[OUTRO: MEECH & DEVIN SUMMER]
You (x14)
04 Off White
[CHORUS: MEECH]
You can find me in the off white tee
Might glide through my city with a new chain
Dragging on the floor, still pretty little boo thang
Hanging off my arm like she miss me when I skip states
Take a couple racks, bring it with me
She said you can hit me back whenever, uh huh
No sweat, I’ma hold it down forever, uh huh
My bad, we can blame it on the weather
The rain bring us together and I can be your shelter baby
[VERSE 1: BRADLEY CINEMA]
Pull up just to waste a little time
We need a minute
Give you business
I ain’t talking 9 to 5
I could make you my full time
I could make you hyperventilate
Clock in and I’ll stay in late
Put that work in overtime
Put you on my W9
I’m just a guy that wanna find that thrust
I’ll bring a friend of mine because this job is double time
I need a spotter
I can help you meet your daughter
I can be the one to father
I can call up HR too
We gon need a couple rules
We gon need a couple tools
I can buy myself a suit
Fuck reporting time theft, this nonsense
I’ll treat it like an object, the process
You put it on your conscious
Or slide them over to the side like we in a side quest
[CHORUS: MEECH]
[VERSE 2: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Tell you what the aim is
I’m finna get famous
Not to population, but to people on my same shit
All star like my Converse
Taking off my armor
If you wanna know me, then you gotta listen harder
Heart up on my sleeve
I’ve been pretty fiendish
Addicted to these beats
Scratching arms to see what Meech did
I’ve been flipping bars like I got money out in Ghana
What a time we living in, I’m sipping marijuana
[VERSE 3: NEDS]
Living off the ganja
Kicking off the Converse
Tryna pave the way cuz every day is never promised
I be on my bullshit
I be trying more shit
If I give out more dick, then I’d be on my whore shit
I be living super wild like
Every day, I’m all up in it, my life
And I’m all about my business, I try
I try
[CHORUS: MEECH]
[VERSE 4: DEVIN SUMMER]
Hate when I feel too soft
Hate when I feel like lucks gonna run out
Hate when I feel so wrong
Why I gotta feel so lost all the time like boy don’t get too raw
Now you’re in my car
Words stuck to my jaw
(You know I had to do it to you)
Now that I got that deep
I gotta take it back to the time when the summer didn’t always get so heated
Gotta take it back to the streets that we biked when we felt undefeated
The air was so deceiving
I’m picking up the pieces, baby why’d you have to
[VERSE 5: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Another check for me
Love the way you looking standing next to me
I could think 100,000 reasons
But I get caught up in the reverie
I’ma get to walking just to beat the heat
Car got busted tryna hit the top speed
Gotta admit it was a fast machine
You just had to be there, yeah you should’ve seen it
[OUTRO: MEECH]
05 Crop
[VERSE 1: DEVIN SUMMER]
I don’t go outside
I got too much on my plate, you working overtime
I avoid face to face and times are different now
Changing up positions, tryna be in a new stance
Haven’t talked about it since we ain’t been friends
What the fuck happened
People change and people grow, but that’s not you, family
Man, I hate the way you roll
You’ve been lying and scheming and all the hate that you’ve been breathing
Everything I’ve been reading bout you ain’t nothing I’m needing up in my life right now
I am too damn proud
Of the people in my circles and the work I’m round
Picture this, panoramic everything in my vision is saturated
Then there’s you, sun damaged, color faded
Open to suggestions
I done learned my lesson
Not tryna get caught up again in the wrong direction
If only there was ways for you to keep yourself involved inside my life
But there isn’t, I done cropped you out the picture, grab a knife
[CHORUS: GRANDPA SWEATS]
So bitter
Wish I could say you were sweet
But these photos only make me weep
So I cropped you out the picture (this)
A perfect world where life was good, and we never existed
Perfect strangers goin bout our business
So withered
Time can only tell these things
But these photos don’t know what to think
So I cropped you out the picture (this)
A better ending I could reminisce
But I can’t, so I’ll just crop crop crop you out the
[VERSE 2: NEDS]
Act like you don’t know
Let me drive the boat
I’m honest, honorable
Take it as you have it, but I leave your ass at shore, make waves with you
Make waves with you
See, you never talk about it
Better off without you
Left you at your island
Too much compromising so I left it where I found it
I left it where I found it
It’s been a minute
Hear you causing ruckus with your circle, I ain’t in it
Glad you stayed the same and playing blame with all your victims
Take a deeper look cause it’s your life that needs some fixing
Always on some shit, ain’t you?
But it’s whatever
Ever since the jump man, I’ve been getting better
Back when it was us working through these endeavors
Now I don’t give a fuck if you stuck like this forever
Tried to give you my hand, but you fumbled under the pressure
[CHORUS: GRANDPA SWEATS]
So bitter
Wish I could say you were sweet
But these photos only make me weep
So I cropped you out the picture (this)
A perfect world where life was good, and we never existed
Perfect strangers goin bout our business
So withered
Time can only tell these things
But these photos don’t know what to think
So I cropped you out the picture (this)
A better ending I could reminisce
But I can’t, so I’ll just crop crop crop you out the
picture (x30)
06 ISO
[VERSE 1: BRADLEY CINEMA]
So I cropped you out
Haven’t spoke a couple years since we figured out
You was scheming, creeping
Doing shit, we kicked you out
Man you could’ve been the sixth
Wonder where you went
Wonder where we’d be at now if you had stuck around
Known you long as them
Junior high school friends
Had these dreams together
Wish we could’ve tried again
But you blew it
I just wish we could’ve seen the bigger picture
Found out who you were and all of our photos got the scissors
Go and fuck yourself
I done had to redevelop
Threw away what I had pent up
Through my lens it was a set up
I refocused on my mental health
Turn the flash on that hoe
We done passed all that tho
I done crashed out the last album bet that felt cold
Low ISO
I keep the lights on
I was bummed but in the end you weren’t the right one
Caught my bros out living life I got the Nikon
Put a smile on
[VERSE 2: MEECH]
Cuz you was posing on me, no closure for me
You fell right out of frame like, my vision blurry
A spectacle to witness shawty
You put it on me
While you avoid the blame, yeah got me exposing
You’re familiar face takes new shape, but I can’t recognize memories I erase
Cuz you swapped the scene on me
No, I don’t need no greif
I changed my POV
Words I don’t care to speak and it don’t mean nothing
In search of a new me
I don’t wanna go back, no sense in a rewind
You did what you did painting all your sins in a bad light
I don’t like thinking like that no sense in another life
You did what you did keeping all your sins in a bad light
07 Speak 2 Me
[VERSE 1: DEVIN SUMMER]
I tried, I tried to show you the ways
It wasn’t the same
Cause your heart was broken, yeah
Your heart was broken, yeah
Hold me close every day and every night
I just might catch a little bit of rest up on your chest
Turn the lights off
Dimmer when we, kissing under the sheet tents
We were teens when we met back when
[VERSE 2: NEDS]
Time’s moving forward and we all need rest
And I keep giving reasons to get up out of bed
You said I’m so tired of moving when Im feelin like shit
Working every waking hour isn’t no way to live
Picking up these night shifts
Thinking of the nice shit
I want every piece of it
Doing all that I can
To make it through this
Never holding back again
[OUTRO: GRANDPA SWEATS]
So baby plug in your phone
Cause it’s a long way to home
Wherever I go
I feel your arms around my soul
Baby plug in your phone
It’s a long way to home
I already know
That this is something to grow
08 Honey Pearl
[CHORUS: NEDS]
Please don’t ask me for any favors
I’m alone in my room, I hope this lasts forever
It’s a clear blue sky
We walk on quiet nights
Don’t make me wait too long cause I want all your time
I hope this lasts forever
This lasts forever
Cause I want it, want it
Hope this lasts forever
[VERSE 1: MEECH]
Chilling with my feet up
Back of a big truck
Running from police
Can’t call this a crime
It’s my life, not a stick up
Just needed a quick buck
Keep you on your feet
Baby why you cry every time I gotta leave
Changing my mind, don’t know what I want to be
Make me fly high got the wind all in my tee
Killing my time while I’m falling from a tree
Dream when I die, get my name on MTV
[VERSE 2: NEDS]
Back when I had that ‘98 M3
Back when I had work five days a week
I still get no sleep
Been working towards dreams
Only I can complete
Accept no defeat
Thats what they tell me
I be taking time to myself, yuh
Louis V on my D on my belt, yuh
Been eating good so I don’t wear a belt
Am I seein changes?
Only time will tell
[CHORUS: NEDS]
[VERSE 3: BRADLEY CINEMA]
Woke up with a new headache
I’m too broke to afford my place
I want to be one in the same
I want to be one in the same, I
I see it
I need it
I dream it more than I be it
I’m bleeding
Repeating
I’d beat it fore I’d reveal it
09 Check Please
[CHORUS: DEVIN SUMMER]
Run my check please
I can do this 24/7 I’m deadbeat
Daydreaming about the diamonds on my neckpiece
Y’all wanna test me for now
Wanna move into the real but don’t know how, I, I
[VERSE 1: BRADLEY CINEMA]
Honestly I don’t get proper sleep
Working to death I’m a goner see
All my needs met and they wanna beat
Drive and ambition right out of me, hmm
Turning reality into a fantasy
Doubts that I’m battling that I’m not handling, well
Panicking gradually cuz my anatomy
Telling me lies that I’ll never live happily, well
I need a bag
I need a Benjamin Frankalin stash
I need some ass
I need a booty thats up to the task
I need my bitch in the crib with a cat
I need a, huh
I need a deal
I don’t need stress when I’m paying for meals
I need some wheels
I don’t need X when I’m shifting the gears
I need a check just for drying my tears
[VERSE 2: GRANDPA SWEATS]
See through that shit like it’s cellophane
Reduced my vision got seduced better days
Guarantee you that both me you gon elevate
We still free to grow continue accelerating forward
I believe you we need more
I’m trying to even the score so run my check
[CHORUS: DEVIN SUMMER & MEECH]
Run my check please
I can do this 24/7 I
Run my money up and stuff it in my bed, G
Toss it in the trunk, my ‘67 Chevy
Skin, diamonds in the sun, make her wet
No rest when we up under my bedsheets
No rest when we up under my bedsheets
10 Closer
[VERSE 1: DEVIN SUMMER]
You can’t ignore the truth
Cause I want more of you
& people talk about the same things over and over
Pretty fire, but shit
I’m getting tired of this
let ‘em talk, we’re gonna keep growing closer and closer
[PRE CHORUS: DEVIN SUMMER]
Summer getting closer
Your hands getting closer
Somewhere in the ether
There’s something there getting closer
Summer getting closer
Your hands getting closer
Somewhere in the ether
There’s something there getting closer
[CHORUS: NEDS]
I keep talking like I’m not causing all my problems
It means something when I feel like I’ve touched the bottom
I tried swimming away
Go back to a different day
Making the same mistakes
I’ll never do them again
[VERSE 2: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Mmm, got nothing new to say, yeah yeah
But when I’m with you, don’t need words anyway, yeah yeah
Body language with those eyes so honest
So mundane until the day you came along
You keep bringing me closer
[PRE CHORUS: DEVIN SUMMER]
Summer getting closer
Your hands getting closer
Somewhere in the ether
There’s something there getting closer
Summer getting closer
Your hands getting closer
Somewhere in the ether
There’s something there getting closer
[CHORUS: NEDS & DETZANY]
I keep talking like I’m not causing all my problems
It means something when I feel like I’ve touched the bottom
I tried swimming away
Go back to a different day
Making the same mistakes
I’ll never do them again (x2)
I keep talking like I’m not causing all my problems
It means something when I feel like I’ve touched the bottom
I tried swimming away
Go back to a different day
Making the same mistakes
I’ll never do them again
[OUTRO: DEVIN SUMMER]
Closer and closer
Closer and closer
Your hands getting closer
Closer and closer
11 Grasshopper
[INTRO: NEDS]
Holding closer in your arms again
I try
I try to feel as close as I can
And never in my hands
Can we go back to then
We all seep into our earth
[VERSE 1: DEVIN SUMMER]
Something smelling fishy, I know we just got done walking out the Ichiban
Maybe we can share our secrets, spending time and having fun
Together, I know we gon make it
All these years together, you swearing to god I’m faking it
Maybe insecurity’s a sign of our maturity
Maybe this phone screen has tortured our modernity
Growing up in passing is never the cause for action
Taking on a full plate before 20 is a hassle
Never knew getting old would hurt so much
I can never hide the growing pains, I cry too much
I mean when summer started feeling shorter I needed a shoulder
And it kept getting worse as I grew older and older
Biking to your house, picnic by the pond
Soundtracking memories whenever I play songs
I guess its all the same by the time the winters over
I’ll be ready for you to come to me, red rover
[VERSE 2: BRADLEY CINEMA]
Days like these don’t come and go much
Savor things, don’t jump to grow up
Don’t waste time, its going fast
I’ll take one chance before I crash, oh woah
Talk your shit before your gone
Don’t leave it all for your swan song
I can’t just leave, I can’t move on
I’ll be exactly what you want, oh woah
Nothing to something the sun light keeps coming on
Shrouded in darkness don’t mean that its always wrong
[VERSE 3: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Warming up to what this is
My arm on your waist with you on my hip, yeah
Struggle seeing where I fit
How long will you wait for me to find grip cause
Underneath these sheets its like the only thing is us
Forget about the bullshit for a minute
The blankets move like waves under the sun
Ripples like the lakes we used to swim in
Step by step until we learn to run
We’ll take it day by day until we finish the shit we started up
You’re almost in reach (almost in reach)
Just keep finding reasons to hold onto me until I find what I’m needing
[CHORUS: NEDS]
Holding closer in your arms again
I try
I try to feel as close as I can
And never in my hands
Can we go back to then
We all seep into our earth
Until then baby
I’ma feel the sun, get a tan oh maybe
Kick it with the friends, it’s the van I’m taking
Clothes in the sand cause it’s mad out lately
I don’t wanna waste any time
[VERSE 4: MEECH]
Close enough to taste it, your fingers touching my lips
You telling me to be quiet and shift my hand to your hips
The world, it fell in a silence, and time’s starting to skip
Our hearts they start racing, hardly kept pace, but
I don’t wanna let you go
I don’t wanna be left alone
I don’t wanna live without you
So I’ll hop in your ride, we can go for around two
We’re blowing past the stop signs and the red lights
Park it in my thoughts baby, you’re on my mind
I can feel the shock, I can see the sparks fly
don’t want you to stop, baby til the time’s right
And baby when we crash, I just hope we take flight
And you’ll be in my thoughts when I see the white lights
Cuz I can see your shocked, I can tell by your eyes
I don’t want you to stop, not until the time’s right
All the moments staring at the stars
When we’re fogging up the back of the car
And you fell asleep inside my arms, oh
The times I won’t forget (x6)
12 Max Speed
[VERSE 1: MEECH]
I took a photograph
An early morning by the beach side
There’s flowers pushing up the ocean
You should’ve seen it with your two eyes
I’m in the backseat
And inching closer still to max speed
And everything around me’s slowing down
I don’t think I’m still in control now
[CHORUS: MEECH]
How does the summer light catch your eye that way
Your colors gaze into my heart
Sometime to find, we’re only apart from time to time
I bet you’re wondering why
You fantasize about days you’re passing by
Another life and peace of mind
Searching for perfections never right
[VERSE 2: NEDS]
You and me (you and me)
We’ll have to get away some time
Oh babe, just pick a place, let’s fly
Outside and sunbathing
Oh, I speed through the valley of your hearts beat
I wanna show you what you mean to me
The problems time we’re all facing
[VERSE 3: DEVIN SUMMER]
Too old to care about the harmonies
Too young to not play in these busy streets
We’re passing the ball and sweat dripping down my noggin
I’m dreading when the autumn comes and takes away all of this
Salt on my tongue taste like heat beaming down on my double whites
Open wide, picture frame sights
Sunkissed skin isn’t sunset made
Holding onto the dreams from my earlier days
[CHORUS: MEECH]
[VERSE 4: GRANDPA SWEATS]
Listen, shit been getting out of hand and I done shifted vision
I was thinking about that stuff you said and I might listen
I was down so bad, I had to change the mission
Said what a lame decision
We got some good brains, but fuck the egos
I got this fake chain so I don’t seem broke
But it’s that someday that I’ma keep close to me
(What I have to do to keep the dream in reach)
[VERSE 5: BRADLEY CINEMA]
Time’s passing by
I can’t rewind
I can’t go home
I can’t decide
Life don’t make sense
I miss my friends
Stuck in my phone
I can’t pretend
That I’m not hurt by the little things
Carving out time for the little things
Took a hard right to a new street
Do it feel right only time speaks
