Things Could Be Worse lyrics
(Chorus x2)
Some days things ain't what you thought, but look at what you've got
Look at where you are instead of where you're not
I ain't saying life's rosey
Life's a gift not a curse
Things could be worse
Things could be worse
Someone out there's always got it better off
And I ain't got to tell you most of the world is living worse
But I've been learning irrespective of your bank account and how you've been living, we're all capable of feeling hurt
Believe me when I say the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Things are always looking plenty different through another's eyes
We're all struggling with demons that we hide inside
That's more work than a 9 to 5
That said, things could be worse, I don't mean to dismiss your struggle
But a lot of us are living in a bubble
Feeling stuck alone in a pit buried deep within the ground
If we look, we'll see more people further down
I'm not saying we can't hurt, but perspective goes a long way
We're all in this at the end of the day
Got to keep moving forward even when we feel we're stuck in reverse
Things could be better, but things could be worse
(Chorus x2)
Some days things ain't what you thought, but look at what you've got
Look at where you are instead of where you're not
I ain't saying life's rosey
Life's a gift not a curse
Things could be worse
Things could be worse
Don't stare up at the clouds too long, they don't all live in olympus
Some people's lives just seem like the simplest
I know from the outside, it looks like a walk in the park
But I know you didn't see them walk the distance
Don't look up at the clouds too long, you can't move on
You can't feel his blisters if you ain't got that man's shoes on
You can't cry the same tears that his eyes have poured
So from the outside, he's good of course
We see others living the lives that we fantasize
We don't see all the pain, how they agonize
Night terrors ain't the best product to advertise
So we don't see all of the grey in other people's skies
It's all about your progress, you've got to trust the process
Reaching new heights on your climb will make you nauseous
Be cautious, but trust me, the doors will open
You've just got to learn to be your own locksmith when
(Chorus x2)
Things ain't what you thought, but look at what you've got
Look at where you are instead of where you're not
I ain't saying life's rosey
Life's a gift not a curse
Things could be worse
Things could be worse

Better Than Ever lyrics
I write the hook and they sing along
Even all y'all who don't know the song
God's got plans for me, I don't see anything going wrong
Been writing and dreaming, recording and scheming, no easy route to the top
First, got to make this thing pop, then we proceed to acquire the guap
Look, I rep the city like day and night
The difference between us is day and night
Cards in my hand, trying to play it right
While the rest of y'all busy just sharing hype
They didn't believe in me, no, but I thought that I'd give it a go
Now it looks like we live on the road
And if they don't know us, they're all about to know
I've been cool like sasquatch
I tell all the fakes, masks off
I've got to keep my cool before I get a big head looking like mascots
I've been at it, I've been at it
I've been rising, y'all titanic
I've been trying, I've been trying
You people can't deny it
Best rapper in my city that nobody knows
I've been knocking down my goals one by one like they're dominoes
Everybody talking smack like let's just see how far it goes
But betting against me, well, my dude, that's just comical
I’m feeling good (feeling good)
Feeling great (feeling great)
You can’t harsh me on my vibe make no mistake
I’m feeling good (feeling good)
I’m feeling great (feeling great)
You can’t harsh me on my vibe make no mistake
I’m feeling
Better than ever (what)
Better than ever (huh)
Better than ever (how you feeling?)
Better than ever
I learned not to second guess
I promise I'll never be second best
What's the cost to be great, I'll pay it in full with some interest
They want it, I got it
I am it, they're not it
They said shoot your shot and I shot it
The difference between us is heart because I know I'll pick up the ball if I drop it
You say that you're popping, stop it
I'm sedimentary how I rock it
Doors open how I knock it
Trying to turn all these plaudits to profit
Take it one step at a time, and trust that your moment is coming
You're a fool if you climb to the summit and don't have a picture to prove that you've done it
Never been one to fall back
Keenan and Kel because I'm all that
Writing my name in all caps
You're about as rap as tall fraps
Aww snap, he said it, who would have called that
Found my calling and I'm hoping that it calls back
Putting the hours in, not enough time in the day
Making sure that I'm heard, because I've got plenty to say
I put my all behind my words
No regrets, man, I’m hoping that you heard that
I’m feeling good (feeling good)
Feeling great (feeling great)
You can’t harsh me on my vibe make no mistake
I’m feeling good (feeling good)
I’m feeling great (feeling great)
You can’t harsh me on my vibe make no mistake
I’m feeling
Better than ever (what)
Better than ever (huh)
Better than ever (how you feeling?)
Better than ever

EVERYDAY lyrics
(Chorus - jo.)
everyday I wake up, put my feet to the road
everyday I wake up, tell myself it's time to go
everybody thinking that I must be insane
well I ain't coming home till the whole world knows my name
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
I wake up and this life beckons
ups and downs, but the hunger for it never lessens
not stressing, my momma always told me stay focused and in time I'll get God's blessings (yes, momma)
trust me, I was born to be great
my mom's pops knew it when he gave me my name (ey)
that's why I work every day
because a lot of people worked so my road's always paved
Uh huh, I’ve been dreaming, my team scheming, what's a slice, I want the whole cake (whole cake)
near or far, you're in my heart, only want real ones, no fakes (no fakes)
I'll drop heat for these snowflakes
my heart's in the Arctic, so no snakes
I've got dreams I've got to go chase
road less travelled while the rest try to play safe
(Chorus - jo.)
everyday I wake up, put my feet to the road
everyday I wake up, tell myself it's time to go
everybody thinking that I must be insane
well I ain't coming home till the whole world knows my name
(Verse 2 - Wyatt Trombley)
Feels like I’ve been running for days
My chest burns and I fear that I’m stuck in my ways
I’ve been working so hard, man, I hope that it pays
And that the climb to the top is worth the ball and the chain
Because life’s a mix of the sun and the rain
I mean yin wouldn’t be yin if he never had yang
And what would pleasure be without any pain
That’s why I’m Tony Hawk, grinding till it makes me insane
I drove the plane
Blue dropped the dang bomb on the game
Five years later and we’re still out here doing our thing
What you talking about, I don’t see you stopping the reign
What you on about, you better stay up out of our lane
Because it’s moving too fastly
I’m a top boy, real one like Ashley
Usain bolt, and a hundred elephants won’t pass me
The sands of time won’t outlast me
(Chorus - jo.)
everyday I wake up, put my feet to the road
everyday I wake up, tell myself it's time to go
everybody thinking that I must be insane
well I ain't coming home till the whole world knows my name
(Verse 3 - The Blue)
Hit some goals that I never could have fathomed
I'm chasing heights, climbing straight up out the chasm
I've met some heroes and I wonder how it happened
Learning I can make reality out of all that I imagine
I put the work in everyday
So when I'm older and I'm grey, I could take a look and say
That's a life well lived, turned a passion in action
And never fell or wavered to distractions
Trying to write my name in history, want more than a caption
Got my heart on my sleeve, it's more than just fashion
I've been knocked on the ground, got back on my feet
Tell the people on the throne they can vacate my seat
Make way, got no plans to hold back
Saying it's impossible, already been told that
No specific road map
Scribble in my notepad
Every single day so you're seeing where my soul's at
(Chorus - jo.)
everyday I wake up, put my feet to the road
everyday I wake up, tell myself it's time to go
everybody thinking that I must be insane
well I ain't coming home till the whole world knows my name

Fallin’ lyrics
(Chorus - charlene)
Said I can’t even believe it
How fast I’ve been falling for you
When I see you, my knees weaken
Do you even see what you put me through
It’s such a paradise
Me looking in your eyes
From day light till night
Make it easy, easy to love
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
look, I treasure every second with you
you're the one, so there's no second guessing with you
and on those days when I'm feeling like I'm 4 foot two
all I know is that there's never any stressing with you
I mean, there's no over impressing with you
and all the dark days seem luminescent with you
but for now I'll just enjoy all the blessing that's you
till I'm down on one knee just confessing it's you
stay true, they say love ain't a walk in park
but I've got you, so this ain't just a shot in the dark
I love that I can say I love the way I feel around you
and how the things you can't change are the things I'd never change about you
and trust me, I'm your biggest fan
trying to slide up in your heart instead of your DMs
and saying how I feel, yo that's past due
looking for the one, yo, and that's you
(Bridge - The Blue & charlene)
never met someone like you
I promise when rain falls, I'll be right beside you
they don't think that we'll last
well, nobody asked, because baby girl, I do
never met someone like you
I promise when rain falls, I'll be right beside you
they don't think that we'll last
well, nobody asked, because baby girl, I do
(Chorus - charlene)
Said I can’t even believe it
How fast I’ve been falling for you
When I see you, my knees weaken
Do you even see what you put me through
It’s such a paradise
Me looking in your eyes
From day light till night
Make it easy, easy to love
(Verse 2 - The Blue)
I know I'm not the only dude who could make you laugh
but I'll do my best to cut all that makes you sad
the two of us together, that ain't quick maths
but I sure thank the heavens that I crossed your path
I'm trying to rise with you
I know that you're the one when I lock eyes with you
I ain't a tailor, so I don't want to cut ties with you
I know I'll probably have to share all my fries with you
yo where's the love at, I don't mean hugs and kisses
or lustful wishes, just hoping I could call you Mrs
well one day, some day
awks, I'm not trying to mess the vibes in room, wreck the fung shui
love is 182, they say you'll miss it if you blink
they're telling me love is not what you think
but if we're together if you fast forward
then tell me, in the end, what more could I really ask for
and that’s that
face facts
(Chorus - charlene)
Said I can’t even believe it
How fast I’ve been falling for you
When I see you, my knees weaken
Do you even see what you put me through
It’s such a paradise
Me looking in your eyes
From day light till night
Make it easy, easy to love

ALL WE GOT
(Intro - A5TR0)
What’s up y’all?
It’s your boy A5TRO! Today, we gon’ be listening to a new song by one of my hommies named The Blue! Aight? Turn it up in the headphones, y’all. Let’s hear it!
(Chorus - Caitlin Herring & ThEm) x2
Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got
Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
Look, life's cruel
But whoever thought it wasn't, baby, he's a fool
Life never promised us a thing on this rock called home
That's why I'm all hallelujah, amen, shalom
But what I mean is
I ain't got the answers figured out, I'm no genius
I’m just some random kid trying to fill up these arenas
All the way from Paris, Tokyo, and down to Phoenix
You're out of this world how you serve them up like Venus
I'll be your rain for the drought
I'll be there, just give me a shout
We live in a world where somebody's always out for your spot
It won't change until love's all we got, yo, IT'S ALL WE
(Chorus - Caitlin Herring & ThEm) x2
Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got
Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got
(Bridge - Caitlin Herring)
Maybe it ain't everything that we ever thought it'd be
I've been running round in circles, trying to find where I should be
I've been up and I've been down, to the bottom, to the top
I've got those who held me up, and sometimes that's all we've got
(Verse 2 - The Blue)
What more do we want, nothing's promised
When we were younger, they said drink your milk and be the strongest
They gave us an outline to make life flawless
But I've been thinking they weren't honest, like
Life ain't rainbows and sunshine
But I can guarantee you that I love mine
No time to wallow and regret, so we should live like there ain't enough time
Just remember whatever you dream can be in your reach
Not for anybody else because that's left to us each
Not to sound preachy, believe me
But the fact is life in Georgia ain't always peachy
We can't ever see eye to eye
Long as you think, eat, live, breath different than I
Got to look through it all just to give us a shot
Because at the end, you and I are all that we've got
(Chorus - Caitlin Herring & ThEm) x2
Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got
Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got
(Outro - Caitlin Herring)
Maybe it ain't everything that we ever thought it'd be
I've been running round in circles, trying to find where I should be
I've been up and I've been down, to the bottom, to the top
I've got those who held me up, and sometimes that's all we've got

Dream Big (feat. Transit22) - The Blue lyrics
(Chorus - The Blue)
Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, I don’t care what anybody say
Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, I said Imma go do it my way
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
They say I got to pump the breaks
The lack of sleep cause these shakes
Fatigue written on my face
But it's a race, you either keep running or get run over
It's all jokes till the fun's over
Snake's slither, so I've got to cut the grass low
Used to rap for fun, but now it's about the cash flow
Can't hit the road when the gas is low
You can't make leaps and bounds when you're a tadpole
In rap, I had to grow up quick
I’m talking step after step, hoping I don't slip
They said I wouldn't make it and that I should quit
But this is a self diagnosis because I know I'm sick, I know I'm it
I want the stage and the lights
But this ain't amazon prime, it won't come over night
These other people get dumb over hype
I'm trying to get my bank right and get the lamb over rice
But let's take it down just a bit
I'm not the same snot nose kid
Seems I offend them how I dream so big
Think I'm young Ali trying to make those hits
Putting my writtens on percussion
So I could be the topic of discussion
They always told me, Blue, you won't ever see the day
Well, get ready, because I'm on my way
(Chorus - The Blue)
Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, I don’t care what anybody say
Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, I said Imma go do it my way
(Verse 2 - Transit22)
Hope ya well,
But me I’m feeling overwhelmed
Homeward bound broken ground and I’m at the helm
Since early age on the stage where I’m most myself
They can’t support it cuz it seems I can’t support myself
That’s why sometime drop some fire like the post myself
To hammer home I’ll stand alone like this is show and tell
Cuz when you break, the guts it takes will help you grow as well
Address regrets and set your steps, a message from my older self
When I was younger I all I wanted was to make the league
I couldn’t jump, wasn’t strong, I could make a 3
Obvi never made it but the thing that alway stay with me
It’s not about the goal, its the chase that will make you dream
Shoot for the moon if you miss where you land
It’s better than the ground having never took a chance
And some cherish what I sing
So I’m still cool chasing carrots on a string
(Chorus - The Blue)
Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, I don’t care what anybody say
Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, I said Imma go do it my way
(Outro)
Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, I don’t care what anybody say
Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, I said Imma go do it my way
Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, look, I don’t care what anybody say
Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, so get with it or get out of my way

All My Life lyrics
(Chorus - The Blue)
I wanted this right from the jump
Feeling like Donald, no feeling could trump
The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights
I wanted this all my life
They said get your head out the clouds
I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd
Hopping the globe, different country tonight
I wanted this all my life
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
I can still hear the speaker crackle first time I heard Wyclef and Lauryn Hill
Couldn't understand a word like foreign films
All I know is at 9, I adored them still
Made a run at the hill
This ain't your run of the mill
Like forest gump, I'm running still
Sleepless nights in hopes of making this real
What's it cost to be great, tell me, I'll pay the bill
I've wanted this far back as I can remember
A flame rose up out of an ember
Dreams of joining all the greats as a member
But no one believed I'd become a contender
I studied these albums, The Blueprint to Stale
Could feel every word like it's written in braille
No doubt in my mind, it's a matter of time
Remember the name as I climb
(Chorus - The Blue)
I wanted this right from the jump
Feeling like Donald, no feeling could trump
The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights
I wanted this all my life
They said get your head out the clouds
I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd
Hopping the globe, different country tonight
I wanted this all my life
(Verse 2 - The Blue)
I can still hear the speaker crackle first time I heard Wayne on Tha Carter III
I knew that the music was calling me
I'm destined for greatness, I got to be
First time I listened to ye
Had graduation just spinning all day
Track after track, I was racking my brain
Like how did he get it all sounding that way, going insane
Fifteen when I heard blue slide park
Miller had me believing I could make my mark
He was nineteen, living my dream
Just reminds me that life is short
So I'm taking it all in day by day
If you ain't been with it, then out my way
I don't know what else I could really say
Like this is just destiny, say my name./.
(Chorus - The Blue)
I wanted this right from the jump
Feeling like donald, no feeling could trump
The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights
I wanted this all my life
They said get your head out the clouds
I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd
Hopping the globe, different country tonight
I wanted this all my life
(Outro)
I wanted this right from the jump
Feeling like donald, no feeling could trump
The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights
I wanted this all my life
They said get your head out the clouds
I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd
Hopping the globe, different country tonight
I wanted this all my life

Nothing to Us lyrics
(Chorus - The Blue) x2
My heart beats like thumpidy thump
Got to get the crowd up like jumpidy jump
Way back in high school, they weren't bumping to us
But now we step up on the stage and it's nothing to us
(Bridge - The Blue)
My heart beats like
My heart beats like
My heart beats like thumpidy thump
My heart beats like
My heart beats like
My heart beats like don’t be lazy, put the work in
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
I don't believe in handouts, I think you've got to work for this
think you've got to hit the road and sell merch for this
if I don't give you all my heart, am I worth a lis
I mean it's nothing if you don't know what your purpose is
grade 8, I would lay wake, listen to music way late
like if I really want it, better make haste
they told me labels got all the power
so we put in the hours so we can say it's ours
and sometimes life's out of shape, just doesn't work out
Like selling out a show and the next nobody turns out
Turn out, you burn out, you do your thing
And at the end of the night, you hope they sing
Don’t really do it for the money, but man, it’s a nice addition
Don’t really see much around me, but man, have I got a vision
Now I’ve got to convince people I’m worth the listen
And my folks that this life I’m living will make a living because
(Chorus - The Blue) x2
My heart beats like thumpidy thump
Got to get the crowd up like jumpidy jump
Way back in high school, they weren't bumping to us
But now we step up on the stage and it's nothing to us
(Verse 2 - Selly Cisco)
Said it’s nothing to me, I’m up in them trees smoking
I’m loving the beach, I’m cuffing my jeans, rolling
I’m a hundred degrees, but this is nothing to me
But when I’m working, I might need a moment
Yeah, they’re saying Selly said I need to get the celly
To send a message
These sentimental memories pester my adolescence
A pessimist suppressed by the memories of depression
Manifesting my inner pain, so I can learn to get better
I’m on the road to success, I’m finding my grips
I’ve been holding my breath, I’m starting to slip
I’m as cold as it gets, but hot as permits
I’m positive God gave me an honest calling for this
My momma was kicking me on to the curb, I was broke
I’m homeless, alone, I had to call up my homes for places to go
Now I take a place on my throne
I’m playing these chords and now I feel the bass in my throat because
(Chorus - The Blue) x2
My heart beats like thumpidy thump
Got to get the crowd up like jumpidy jump
Way back in high school, they weren't bumping to us
But now we step up on the stage and it's nothing to us
(Verse 3 - The Blue)
They used to tell me that my mixtapes suck
Now when I hit the road, they all wish me luck
But have you ever been
Labelled a future great by your mentors
Just for them to seem to not to be able to sense more
Pick up the next act and proceed to bench your
Sorry behind, like you're great and all, but you're sort of behind
But with time, I learned they did me a favor
I stopped waiting for chances and made it work in my favor
Had to pull myself from sitting right down where the crowd is
Now I get the whole place packed like I'm moving houses
You want the steak, I want the cow
You trying to wait, I want it now
Chicka chow, man
I hit the stage and I shut down the show
And if you like it, tell everybody you know that
(Chorus - The Blue) x2
My heart beats like thumpidy thump
Got to get the crowd up like jumpidy jump
Way back in high school, they weren't bumping to us
But now we step up on the stage and it's nothing to us
(Outro - The Blue)
My heart beats like
My heart beats like
My heart beats like thumpidy thump
My heart beats like
My heart beats like
My heart beats like don’t be lazy, put the work in

Mint lyrics
(Chorus - Laura)
Even if the sun goes down, the clouds come out, and I find I'm on my own
I know I can trust your light to guide me back to find my way back home
Even if the world tries to burn me down at the end of the day
Just know that I'll find, know that I'll find my way
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
Even if the world burns down, the sun cuts out, Imma smile like I never have
Not because I'm glad that it's ending, but I can just thank God for every second that I've ever had
Look, I’m talking all the ups and downs that helped mould me
I learned to take every shot, thank you Kobe
Took in all the words that my mentors told me
Now, I move like air, these people, they can't hold me
But I've fallen short when the heights are what they want for me
And with age, learned I'm far from all that I can be
I've got plenty more in the tank
And a lot further to go, well, just as far as I can see
Head high like a totem pole
I'm gon’ keep on kicking till I know that I've hit every goal
So when they ask how I've been
I can tell them that my life's mint because even if the
(Chorus - Laura)
Even if the sun goes down, the clouds come out, and I find I'm on my own
I know I can trust your light to guide me back to find my way back home
Even if the world tries to burn me down at the end of the day
Just know that I'll find, know that I'll find my way
(Bridge - The Blue)
Even if the sun goes down, I know I'm not on my own
I know your light can guide me back from wherever I go
Even if the sun goes down, I know I'm not on my own
I know your light can guide me back from wherever I go because
(Chorus - Laura)
Even if the sun goes down, the clouds come out, and I find I'm on my own
I know I can trust your light to guide me back to find my way back home
Even if the world tries to burn me down at the end of the day
Just know that I'll find, know that I'll find my way

What It Is
(Chorus - Selly Cisco) x2
Baby, won't you tell me what it is
You've been running through my mind and ooh I hate feeling like this
Baby, won't you tell me what it is
Tell me what it is, girl
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
How is it you do what you do
You've got all eyes on you like you're pac in the booth
Got that walk that let us know that you know you're the one
Treating heart break like a marathon, you've been on a run
But hold up, you're an enigma
Can't explain the way that I feel when I'm with ya
We ain't photo perfect, but I'm hoping I'm still in the picture
We're on that "will they, won't they"
Tension always, could go both ways
But I'm down with you
Back on my kanye, I'm bound to you
Getting on one knee is what I'm bound to do
Tell me how that sounds to you
All I'm saying is if you're down, let me know
And if you're not, this is the opportunity to let me go
Whoa, does she love, does she love not
Lately, that's a constant thought
Trust me, I've given all that I've got
You never keep it black and white like cruella deville
All I'm asking is you say how you feel, baby, how do you feel
(Chorus - Selly Cisco) x2
Baby, won't you tell me what it is
You've been running through my mind and ooh I hate feeling like this
Baby, won't you tell me what it is
Tell me what it is, girl
(Verse 2 - The Blue)
They say love's a game, hope we never lose
They they say it's forever and I'm hoping it's forever you
I ain't trying to just be somebody, trying to be yours
I know saying I love you can be harder than seashells by the seashore
My heart's feeling like the metronome's off
Hope we're growing old together paying nursing home costs
Changing pampers, soccer banners, disneyland with family camera
Or living in the hamptons in glamor
Whoa, but no rush, I'm just hoping you reciprocate
So we can spend forever like a sideways figure eight
Since I met you, your whole essence emanates
A warmth in which I never want to separate
So, if we never try, then how would we know
If we shine together or just barely glow
If you can see us in any scenario
Even if chance is fairly low
Pick up the phone right now girl and let me know, let me know
(Chorus - Selly Cisco) x2
Baby, won't you tell me what it is
You've been running through my mind and ooh I hate feeling like this
Baby, won't you tell me what it is
Tell me what it is, girl

NO DREAMS lyrics
(Chorus - The Blue)
Nobody dreams these days
We've been trying to reach the world with these songs we play
Doubt's a broken record spinning on replay
Live a life doing what we love is all we pray, ey, ey
Nobody dreams these days
No little hands reaching up to outer space
Haven’t hit the track, already lost this race
Nobody dreams these days
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
We're taught to stay in a lane before we find ours
We've all got gifts, I wish we'd see them as divine powers
They all go to waste, taught young to extinguish the flame
And at the end, we've all got nothing to claim
Whatever you find in this life, do it with all of your might
Because when the clock runs, you're getting no second chance at the fight
Find what makes you happy, that's a cliche
But never let them put your fire out like an ash tray
Never let them downplay
Your efforts and all the heights that you're destined to see
About to make good on all the faith I invested in me
Settling could cost you all your joy, just check the receipts
Know external voices sometimes look to crush and mislead
Keep your head up no matter what you choose to pursue
Don't get caught up in their doubt as you move
Just imagine your potential can exceed what even you could conceive
Sometimes all you've got to do is believe
I know it's hard to believe
(Chorus - The Blue)
Nobody dreams these days
We've been trying to reach the world with these songs we play
Doubt's a broken record spinning on replay
Live a life doing what we love is all we pray, ey, ey
Nobody dreams these days
No little hands reaching up to outer space
Haven’t hit the track, already lost this race
Nobody dreams these days
(Verse 2 - Geeze)
Nobody dreams these days
Wait, why’s fate so tainted
Confused because you don’t recognize the picture you painted
Of what life would be like if things break right
But now it’s faded and laced with that cadence of hatred
Potential that’s wasted because you stopped believing
Can’t compare yourself to someone else’s achievements
You support the scene and the scene supports your dreams
But your friends don’t seem to see what happened in between
It’s that hard work, yard work, pulling out them weeds
And the farther you go, gets harder, give up on dreams
But I’m blessed to be less than keen
To let success mean less to me
Because I don’t reach that peak
Memories I keep, sold out shows in Brooklyn and Manhattan
Our music video’s on Much music, people laughing
I proved to my town you can pursue music with a passion
That’s why when I watch dreams lose, it’s got me asking
How come
(Chorus - The Blue & Geeze)
Nobody dreams these days
We've been trying to reach the world with these songs we play
Doubt's a broken record spinning on replay
Live a life doing what we love is all we pray, ey, ey
Nobody dreams these days
Too afraid to tell your parents it wasn’t a phase
You can’t go out on a limb in case you fall on your face
We ridicule anyone who dares to dream these days

A Lot lyrics
(Chorus - The Blue)
I don't know all that I'll do, but just know it's a lot, ey, ey
This one's for all those who gave me a shot, ey, ey
You know that I'll climb until we reach the top, ey, ey
My momma said give all the glory to God, ey, ey
He won’t ever stop
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
The work that I put in, a lot
More than a flash in the pot
Been on the sideline too long, time to get of the bench, and show all of you all that I've got
Ten thousand hours and more
I've been putting in work, I've been moving nonstop around the clock
So just pull up a seat, sit back and relax, and watch as the boy's about to pop
If you didn't know the name before, trust me, you're going to want to write it down
I just simply find it funny how these people talking never quiet down
We move with momentum
Our names up in history, about to cement them
When you're finally climbing a ladder, the snakes in the game start preparing their venom
But I'm making moves, I'm blessed
While others, they're getting so mad, upset
We're flying high like jets
The fam and the friends on the manifest
My boys and I really progressed
But still more to do till we're passing the best
I'm telling you no time for sleep or rest
Till we're booking vacays in Budapest
Made advances without an advance
Got real tired of waiting for chance
These people still doubt I'm the man
But trust me, bro, failure is not in the plans
On my feet is where I'm making my stand
Playing the game without showing my hand
A billion or hundred grand
(Chorus - The Blue)
I don't know how much I'll make, but I know it's a lot, ey, ey
Not the main focus, but give me the guap, ey, ey,
send me the papers and maybe we'll talk, ey, ey,
got Jason to come through and sign on the dot, ey, ey,
I don't know what you expect, but it best be a lot, ey, ey,
one in a bunch, but I'm cream of the crop, ey, ey,
show up for my city, you know this is the spot, ey, ey,
remember the name the before they say it a lot, ey, ey
I don’t know all that I’ll do, but I know it’s a lot

Mountaintop lyrics
(Chorus - Thomas Oldreive)
Higher and higher I climb
I keep my eyes on the skies
I may never get to see the mountaintop
But still I climb
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
It's tough luck, but we all won't see the mountaintop
Don't get it twisted, doesn't mean you won't amount to much
Plate at the table, I won't leave until I finish mine
You won't know just how it all ends until the finish line
Cliche, but you miss all the shots you don't take
I focus on the ones I do instead of those I don't make
Yeah, I know I make it sound easy as pie
To put it simply, you won't know unless you try (just try)
Some doors won't open unless you go and put your foot in
I'm about to go accomplish everything thing they said I couldn't
Listen, I'm not saying I don't ever doubt or hesitate
Just be yourself, don't replicate
I know the pressure can be taxing, but don't ever write yourself off
Road to your dreams, hard to know just where to turn off
No guarantee, I keep on, they ask why
Because I'll never know unless I go and try./.and that's why
(Chorus - Thomas Oldreive)
Higher and higher I climb
I keep my eyes on the skies
I may never get to see the mountaintop
But still I climb
(Verse 2 - Bijaan)
I’ve been latching on to ladders, my spikes dug in the dirt
Tried crafting all the patterns, establishing my worth
Just imagine if it happens, numbers hanging off of banners
So every curveball that they pitch, I’m batting to the rafters
It’s easy
To sit back, say look at the facts
Why that won’t be me
Tryna read the tea leaves
Standing strong with weak knees
I’m of a different species
It’s all-in effort so it’s Everest where you’ll see me
See what’s the word Edmund Hillary Sir?
Are you feeling me?
I been fighting with the titans of the industry
I been enlightened that life ain’t what it’s given me
But what I take from every sight that I’m envisioning
Yes
The aim is to kick it with the best
Long as that thing keep hitting in my chest
Thankful I’m blessed with my own definition of success
So I guess we ain’t tripping bout what’s next
We just step and its…
(Chorus - Thomas Oldreive)
Higher and higher I climb
I keep my eyes on the skies
I may never get to see the mountaintop
But still I climb
(Bridge - The Blue)
On the way, you'll hit setbacks
A lot of people won't believe, make them regret that
It's your journey, not theirs, don't forget that
Sometimes to move forward, man, you've just got to step back
Accept that not everybody around you is in your corner
They ain't waiting there to wish you the best
If they're not with you on the path and match your blood and your sweat
Then they shouldn't be even close to where you get
(Chorus - Thomas Oldreive)
Higher and higher I climb
I keep my eyes on the skies
I may never get to see the mountaintop
But still I climb

Good Old Days
(Chorus - jo.) x2
We used to sit up on the chimney tops
Not a care in the world we got
Used to dream of writing diddy bops
Just take me back to the good old days
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
Summer days in my home town, those times were simple
Got some old lost friendships I wish I could rekindle
I was young, not a care on this rock
Took for granted just how easy I'd got it (take me back, man)
My uncle put me on Wyclef and the Fresh Prince
And I ain't been able to get music out of my head since
I fell in love with the vinyl and how the deck spins
And you could put that summer down on the list of my blessings
Not the finished article, far from a masterpiece
Days when we rapped for fun and didn't worry about packing seats
Back when just being me was all I was glad to be
But some days, I just feel like this life here is just passing me by
I wish somebody had told us
To cherish those closest and bottle those moments
I wish I'd told some of my friends I've got their backs if things were ever getting tough
We don't talk now, they say it's just all part of growing up, c’mon
(Chorus - jo.) x2
We used to sit up on the chimney tops
Not a care in the world we got
Used to dream of writing diddy bops
Just take me back to the good old days
(Verse 2 - Thomas Oldreive)
Riding down the highway with my windows down because my AC broke
And those work emails, yeah, they ain’t no joke
I know this ain’t the perfect situation
But I know that I can make it
Yeah, I know that things could be worse
Come on baby, go and open up your purse
I’ll put my ID inside
She on the passenger side
With the boys in the back
Reminiscing while I’m driving
Knowing I want to be back
Where I am right now
I can’t allow
Myself to slack or take a bow
Front to back, I’ll make a vow tonight
Sit and yack or crease my brow
‘Cause right now, ‘cause right now
Are the good old days passing me by
I know I should graze, well, I’ll give it a try
Enjoy the time I have and make some memories
I can’t let life’s complications get the best of me, yeah
(Chorus - jo.) x2
We used to sit up on the chimney tops
Not a care in the world we got
Used to dream of writing diddy bops
Just take me back to the good old days
(Verse 3 - The Blue)
You play every note like you know these tunes are a blessing
It was seldom I saw you stressing
You could live up in the moment in the here and now
I was always busy trying to get people to check us out (like come to the show)
One of the best people I know
Excited to see the progress and the distance you'd go
You kept getting even better after every show
I took pride in every second of just watching you grow (crazy)
We used to say that we should catch up quick
Reminisce on all the good times and days we miss
But life gets in the way, just stay blessed
We always knew the weather, man, with all of these rain checks
Remember when we used to dream of collabs, hop off the stage and just laugh
Any day we'll push these shows to every spot on the map
We used to talk about going so far
I just wish you weren't as far as you are
Brother, Godspeed
(Chorus - jo.) x2
We used to sit up on the chimney tops
Not a care in the world we got
Used to dream of writing diddy bops
Just take me back to the good old days

Work In Progress
(Chorus - The Blue) x2
I'm still far from where I want to be
Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me
Praying this ground won't fall under me
Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS)
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
I'm still a work in progress
I've got lots to work on if I'm being honest
Will I land with the stars or join falling comets
Ain't a soul that could stop me and that's a promise
Climbing heights that make others vomit
I've been on it, ten thousand hours and counting
Learned that having faith can help move mountains
Far from a wolf in the deep
But I've never been one to huddle with sheep, no, no, no
We measure our worth by how we measure up
We'd rather be better than than to better us
No short cuts, it's all in the process
Baby steps are still progress
Look, it gets tough when you can't see the summit
And you know how far the drop is if you plummet
But I keep climbing and running, we've got a long way to go
But I know I'll see the peak and overcome it
Trust me because
(Chorus - The Blue) x2
I'm still far from where I want to be
Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me
Praying this ground won't fall under me
Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS)
(Verse 2 - The Blue)
Trust me, if you're with me, ain't a reason for second guessing
I always put the work in, sending prayers, collecting blessings
Not a grey hair in sight, believe me, I'm never stressing
Never one to gamble, but y'all can go and put your bets in
I bet that I'll bet on myself
It's all love, but if I have to, I'm there by myself
Long time fan of myself
I've been down beat and doubted
But one thing I've learned is that no one will believe how you believe in yourself
I've got this fire lit in my belly
About to drop some cold cuts like I'm running a deli
When we were younger, man, the goal was just being on tele
Now, I've got a point to prove, you've got nothing to tell me (figures)
Funny, now, we've been looking at the bigger picture
But had to crop more people out
We've been blessed to meet our heroes and step on all these stages
But, man, I don't have it figured out
I know it because
(Chorus - The Blue) x2
I'm still far from where I want to be
Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me
Praying this ground won't fall under me
Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS)
(Bridge - The Blue) x2
I'm still far from where I want to be
Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me
Praying this ground won't fall under me
Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS)
(Chorus - The Blue) x2
I'm still far from where I want to be
Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me
Praying this ground won't fall under me
Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS)
