I listen to the sound of the ocean
No waves, just coasting
I take a deep breathe
When it's calm
How I stay blessed
Through the storms
Now I'm in a place
That I prayed to be
With a blank canvas
The paint is free
Any colour that I want
Red, Orange, Yellow
Whatever to keep me warm
It's in my thoughts
Manifested through my palms
With this pen I write poems
I just speak to you in song
Living life trying to write wrongs
Growing up while the mics on
I can hear where the time's gone
My own
Sometimes they gotta love you
From afar
So they don't see the cracks
On your walls
Wonder how something so beautiful
Spewing from a flawed human being
My God
Protect me and guide me and keep me
Who knows cause the eyes are deceiving
Too close I'm alive and I'm breathing
You chose to revive me for reasons
That only you know
Coulda died on the scene it's..
Something that the eyes don't see and
I could never question my belief cause
When it come to God work
I've seen it
I was told to go forth and to lean in
Don't hold nothing back
Cause where a brother going
No plans on coming back
It's a one way ticket
Somewhere the sun could set
And everything is alright

I got a one way ticket to heaven
I'm never looking back
Onto bigger and better
I never took a bag
A brother found peace
Yo it had to be a crooked path
Can't be where there's ceilings
I never stood a chance
So I took a chance
Spreading my wings
Foot on the gas
Deading the things
That don't serve me
Shedding the weight
It's less on my plate
My own journey
I been afraid of the path
Laid out for me
Today I want to ride
Non-stop toward
Something divine
I trust God therefore
I stay inclined to do the work
I may swerve
But I stay pushing in the dirt
It may hurt
It's the only way
It's a lonely road
Can't wait another day
Where I'm supposed to go
What am I looking for?
How am I supposed to know?
If I don't go for it
I might as well floor it
One way ticket to heaven
One way ticket to heaven
(There's only one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(I'm on a one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(yeah, there's only one way...)
One way ticket to heaven
(I'm on one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(Yeah, there's only one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(I'm on a one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
Yeah
I'm on a one way ticket to heaven
I'm ready for the new
Unknown spaces, different paces
Every move
The lone ranger, love for danger
Cut me loose
I got angels from different planes
Hands on the wheel
Anything I focus on
I never lose
Eyes on the road
Mind on the goals
Finding my soul
The higher I go
I am not in control
The diamonds and gold
Don't intrigue me
They only miss you
When you go houdini
Peep how they listen
First they dont believe me
Until they see me
They can't deny me
I stay untied
Cause they try to shoot missiles
On my way to the sky and
Pull me back down
To this place full of violence
Streets, police sirens
People keep dying
Can't look behind me
Got to keep driving
One way
One way ticket to heaven
(I'm on a one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(Yeah,there's only one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(I'm on a one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(yeah, there's only one way...)
One way ticket to heaven
(I'm on one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(Yeah, there's only one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
(There's only one way..)
One way ticket to heaven
One way ticket to heaven
One way ticket
One way ticket to heaven
One way ticket
One way ticket to heaven
(yeah, there's only one way..)
One way ticket
One way ticket to heaven
(One way..)
One way ticket
One way ticket to heaven
One way ticket
One way ticket to heaven
(Yeah, there's only one way..)
One way ticket
One way ticket to heaven
(One way..)
One way ticket
One way ticket to heaven
One way ticket

A n***a just landed up in your city
After the show
I can spend all night with you
We can hit the mall
Grab your dress, look pretty
You can strut your stuff all night
Cause eyes on you
Got me spending all of my time
Asking me what is all on my mind
It's you babe (yeah)
Got me spending all of my time
Asking me what is all on my mind
It's you babe
Something about U
She always makes me dance
Something about U
She always makes me dance
Something about U
She always makes me dance
Something about U
She always makes me dance
Even if we falling
In love for the season
I would go and pull
Every cloud out the sky for you
You keep me coming back
Cause you give me that feeling
I would rather spend my nights
Inside of you babe
Got me spending all of my time
Asking me what is all on my mind
It's you babe (yeah)
Got me spending all of my time
Asking me what is all on my mind
It's you babe
Something about U
She always makes me dance
Something about U
She always makes me dance
Something about U
She always makes me dance
Something about U
She always makes me dance
So many say they love you
They do nothing for
Eyes are staying on you
Watching where you go
So many try to get to you
You keep saying no
You keep saying no

It's like they gon judge you anyway
So you might as well
Push forward toward you dreams and shine regardless
I'm on a one way ticket
In relentless pursuit of what I love and
What I believe in
So don't judge me
Yeah
Following your dreams
Will leave you broke
Less time for them n***as
Here with this pen and pad, I smoke
Friday nights and saturday nights off
I'm here at home
Cause being successful
Is a road most travelled alone
Everybody throwing stones
Remember when I was a youngin
Careless and carefree
The city lights above him
Thinking
Damn is there really a place
For this brother
No style, his skin was eczema covered
Women swerved him, on the curb
He felt accepted
Every word was special and complex
And how he built his schemes
And what came next
Was the respect
Regardless of his appearance
Instead of the scars
Hear the lyrics
Vividly see the beauty
In his spirit
Don't Judge
Don't judge me
Just love me
Don't judge me
Yeah
Following your dreams
Can leave you lonely
The people you have around you
Turned out phoney
Most of the homies growing up
Going different directions
You just see the light
But your tunnel longer
Give them your blessings
Women leave cause
You not fully invested
Don't mean there ain't no interest
This where you lay your intellect
Problems becoming bothersome
Arguing takes a lot of effort
Because of this talent
Worried about girls
You never slept with
Don't judge
It's all love
You know it's all love though
Even though you don't see
What I see
All them late nights
Putting in work
Just off of belief in something greater
The sacrifices
It's all worth it
You know there's forces in the world
Trying to keep a brother down
It's like a brother gotta push back
Twice as hard, you know?
But look, no we up
Please excuse me
If I don't have the time to say hello
Or listen to y'all suggestions
Y'all should've just loved a n***a from the start

I put in too many hours
For you to box me in
Please no labels or four walls
You can't lock me in
There's no ceiling
Only space for me to occupy
Fuck y'all feelings
Don't gotta chase
If I know it's mine
It's all in the mind
All in due time
I stay in overdrive
Ain't scared of the crash
A couple years ago
I almost died
Ain't scared to get scratched
I'll heal
I'll only slow on my path for real
So many phoney
Only seeing the mass appeal
They don't see how n***as hate you
Cause they girl love you
Watch how they don't celebrate you
When the world love you
How many really with you
When your world crumble
I used to have alot of friends
I thought the world of them
I can't complain
This the life I was given
I'm honoured
But heavy's the head of the king
I'm just living the promise
To be and to become
And lead y'all back to the sun
Alot of kids with crowns after I'm done
You know!
Middle Finger to those
Who try to criticize my life
When you
Married with kids
But still unhappy with your wife
When you
Driving a Porsche
But that don't bring you to peace
All the money in the world
But still you worry bout me
Like please
Don't talk down to me when you call
Or tell me to turn my back
From the road I've been walking along
Cause I've been walking alone
Winning in spite of your discouragement
Y'all watch me flourish
Shifting the globe with the purest shit
This is that soul nourishment
To some of yall I'm out of reach
Don't even want y'all name
Up in my speech
Can't harbor no bad thoughts
When you manifesting the good
Live and do what I want
I need to be understood
By nobody or no person
I ain't pleasing you
Stay on the sidelines cursing
Watch all these dreams comes true
Don't let these highlights hurt you
I hope they see you through
Just make sure the time spent worth it
Cause it ain't me verse you
It's you...
Verses you
This the only energy we're giving them
All the naysayers, the doubters
People scared to put in work on their own
Trying to talk down on you
When you're doing well
They're supposed to be doing well, right?
I've taken too many steps forward
To turn around
I'm too far gone
Finish what you start
My feet on the ground
Question my heart
Could never
Give all of my soul
It's here, left in the art
So before my time is up or done
I'm leaving my mark
Not a blemish
I uplift everything around me
The spark...

This one goes out to my little ones
Sean
Tiya
Sanaa
Sebastian
Malcom
Isaiah
Naala
And
Teagan
Be nothing but great
Be great
Be great
(and nothing less)
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great
Put this out yall measure
Shit it's out of yall reach and
I'm in love with the pressure
I'm a diamond they see I
The world throwing up peace signs
Went from big city dreaming
I told you this shit would be mine
Ain't it funny
That the closest to the light
Still choose not to see mine
Most of these n***as be like
Why him, why he get the green light?
But a n***a put in work
They don't see I'm
Aiming for the top of this mountain
I'm far from nothing
I amount to
If left up to y'all I would flounder
Now laughing in the face of a doubter
Never around it, go to it
Never run from it, go through it
All of them calling me crazy
Cause they feel it's impossible to em
Slow down but I can't stop moving
Don't fall into all the illusion
Of success
What it look like to you
Just stay blessed, stay true
And maneuver
Throughout all them obstacles
Can't let nothing stop me
On my way to where
I got to go
Y'all enjoy and watch the show
Or it could motivate you
Follow wherever it takes you
Fuck what people got to say
The world is out there waiting for you
Be great!
Be great
Go be great
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great
Go be great
Go be great
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great
Yeah
If I had a dollar for
Every person that said
I would amount to nothing
I'd be swimming in so much paper
If haters came around
They'd be drowning, suffering
Edmonton ain't really been in town
I love it
But did it ever love me back
It really doesn't matter
Cause my pockets getting fatter
Truth hurts
Thats an ugly fact
When I breach an obstacle
Vision has got go to
I don't got a choice
nothings impossible
More than trill
This a philosophical
More than ill
This a diabolical
Walking through prayers
With Gaston-Lee shorts on
Link up with Riz
We turn into voltron ha
I like these tsars
But the devil never spites these Gods
It's unlikely
He got game
They calling me
You Spike Lee
Trying to be great
They calling me young Mikey
Jackson, Jordan, Tyson
Might go psycho
When the mic goes on
Nights were ice cold
When I write those songs
Make a hater wanna right those wrongs
Get it right hoe
No jewelry on
Still my light glow
Lyrical rifle and I might blow
All because I found greatness
Gotta take a look within
Don't get indoctrinated by the fake shit
Cause they dont wanna see you win
As you contemplating all this hatred
Don't let it get under your skin
Know that the battle
We fighting is ancient
Look to your ancestors and your kin
And be great
Be great
Go be great
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great
Go be great
Go be great
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great

Shit hit different when you get it right
Protecting your heart
Don't fall in love
But it's been flood gates
Since I been inside
To the rescue
I'm setting you free
When you stepped in my vision
I was petrified
When you left my sight
Felt like I was left to die
The house set on fire
Like how could this be
With a butterfly tattoo
A lullaby
And I wonder why that's you
With another guy
When it should be you and I
Tongue in between your thighs
Lust in between our eyes
Loving it
Sensations arise
I'm taking my time
When your cherry lips
Taste like wine
We can do whatever you like
It's whatever you wanna do

It drives me crazy
The way that dress
Hugs your body
Can I push up on you love
Can I kiss up on you love
Move your hips up on my love

Wherever that you wanna go

To wake up in the morning with ya
Drive out the city
Pull off of the road
So I could get you to myself
You making your presence felt
Straight from heaven you fell
Into my lap
I prayed for you
Now that you here I'm faithful
I gotta stay loyal
I gotta warn you
That this loving may hurt a bit
Don't stay with me
Grow with me
Growth is permanent
Don't stay with me cause
Potential in my grind
But potential in both our minds combined
We can shine
Then unwind
Let me hit you from behind
Sending chills up your spine
That ass is mine

I'll never tame your wild
I hope you see the vision
Know that it takes a while
So let's take care of now
Watch as you spin around for me

Ain't no body part on you
Getting left behind
Can I explore you girl
How I adore you girl
Can we ignore the world
It'll be there when we're done
Baby
Let me do my thing
And you can just unwind
Cause baby I won't stop

This one right here
Is for the goddesses around the world
Yeah
I know we don't often say it but..
You are appreciated
Cause you're my queen
(You're my queen)
I would kneel for you
Fight for you
Kill for you
Die for you
Ride for you
Lie for you
Build for you
You're my queen
(You're my queen)
I would kneel for you
Fight for you
Kill for you
Die for you
Ride for you
Lie for you
Build for you
Respect to the queens
Kings we need to uplift
And protect our queens
Just heed the messages
This is by any means
Necessary
These are our God's here on earth
For 9 months I was carried
By a woman so strong
Faced with oppression
Throughout depression
Raised a king
Faith under pressure
In the jungle
She a lioness
Live and dying for her cubs
Got a iron fist
Still providing with 3 jobs
To keep the lights on
To keep the nights warm
And freshest Nikes on my feet
She kept our life off the street
Queen
They the ones out there
That we need to go fight for
Literally the life force
The source of which we come
Mother nature
She should be treated like royalty
Protecting the kingdom cause I'm her son
Brighter days for you
Since we all came
From a woman
Got our name
From a woman
Let's make way for you
Queen
Cause you're my queen
(You're my queen)
I would kneel for you
Fight for you
Kill for you
Die for you
Ride for you
Lie for you
Build for you
You're my queen
(You're my queen)
I would kneel for you
Fight for you
Kill for you
Die for you
Ride for you
Lie for you
Build for you
This is a fight for love
We trying to heal our wounds
Cause all of the past mistrust
I'm rebuilding these rooms
On a foundation that's solid
Holding you up when the world
Feels like it's crumbling and falling
Holding me down
You see the fakes
In the distance they crawling
Catching the snakes
Before I see em
Queen
Angel inside of a human being
The one to carry my seed
Legacy lives and breathes through you
Seeing the real out of my dreams
Through you
Manifested
Surviving the war
We battle tested
Made it though
And we weathered the storm
So she could rest
She the reason why
You be seeing the king out at his best
Her attitude is aim for the head
Or aim for the chest
Everything we've been blessed with
Together
How we protecting each other's dreams
This life as a team
What a lovely scene
Goddess, the mother, wife, daughter
Through it all we walk forward
My queen
I ain't too proud to kneel for you
Black king
Hope you know you're a black king
I will stand by you
Pray for you
Love on you
I'll be there for you (oh, oh, oh)
I know the world don't treat you right sometimes
But never forget
That on this side of life
You are royalty
You're my king
Stand by you
Pray for you
Loving you
I'll be there for you
You're my king
Stand by you
Pray for you
Loving you
I'll be there for you
To the closest thing to God
Yeah
Queen
Cause I'm your King
Queen
Queen

Yeah
Once in a Lifetime
We only get to live this life once
So go after what you want
Throughout all the heartbreak
The pain, the hurt
I still wouldn't change my life for yours
It only makes the victory
That much sweeter
Don't take nothing for granted
Our time on Earth has a limit
Live as much as you can
Before it finishes
Okinawa shores in Japan
I wanna witness it
Santorini y'all
I got plans to go and visit
Yo I'd rather have love
Than never loved
Enough to suffer for what comes
Self stay guided by what's above
I don't know what's beyond
But I ain't never been wrong
When following that call
That's been drawing my heart
When everything in this world
Feels like it's falling apart
I pour myself into this art
I know that everything in life
Happens for a reason
learning that when pain strikes
It's only for a season
I done seen the worst
Now thriving in a life
I deemed cursed
Never as bad as it seems
You just gotta see it first
Shining bright
And this light has been my guide
Finally seeing myself
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
I find myself along
For the ride
(Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
Hold on tight
To what is mine
This is my human experience
Speaking to the me inside of you
Where your spirit is
That's how you know I'm true
Cause it's your soul
That be hearing this
This music is the window
Y'all just peering in
Touching your mind
And disappear again
Where do I go?
One day I'll fill you in
Right now I'm here
Within vibrations
Rhythms that be
Capturing the scenes
Milestones
17 years old with some dreams
Introverted
This my way of blowing off steam
Through the stages
Cause of the therapy
On these pages
At times was lost, aimless
Through rhyming
It all made sense
Me and this rap shit stay adjacent
The only thing that I fear
Is being complacent
Or not having the will
To get up and chase it
Many valleys on the way
But the peaks..
Amazing
Look at the skyline
One day it's all mine
Once in a lifetime
Yeah
Once in a lifetime
I rise
To see my name in the sky
(once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
Feel the light
Of my future shining bright
I'm thankful for the bonds
I've built along the way
In this line of work
Real connections
Don't come everyday
I'm thankful for the bonds
That sadly had to break
Blessings in the lessons
God removing em
Just to make way
Progression to all of y'all
As I begin again and win again
Maybe I was baggage too
A win-win for them
We just growing
In our separate ways
I know for me
I just see better days
In front of me
Instead of memories of the past
When the present is a treasure
I just build it to last
Foundation
So when it crumbles
I can stand on it, rebuild on it
Spent the last couple
Pondering if I still want it
But it's in me
See the fire still burns
Desires to change the world
Everything is still earned
As this Earth turns
The pen still glides
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
See my dreams
Unfold in front of me
(Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
You will see
That what will be, will be
(Once in a lifetime)
Step into your chance
(step in to it)
Make those bigger plans
(dream big)
Once in a lifetime
That's just what I see yeah
(once in a lifetime)
Hold onto your goals
(hold on)
Keep em on their toes
(keep going)
Once in a lifetime
That's what I'm here for baby
Once in a lifetime
That's what I'm here for
Yeah
Once in a lifetime
Zenon
LordQuest
My brother
Once in a lifetime

Never stop believing in yourself
Sometimes
You may not see it in yourself
Tell me how you gon' shine
When you a victim of your mind
You just breathing in a shell
A prisoner of your thoughts
If you listen when the universe talks to you
You could never get lost
All that I can offer
Is the lessons that
Was taught to me
Storms come and go
H*es come and go
Highest of the highs, down
To the lowest of the lows
Keep my feet on the floor
Keep my head to the sky
And I shoot for the stars
Aim for the moon
Shine like the sun
Illuminate the world
Because of all that
I'm willing to die for the cause
Shine when I'm done
Cause a
Storms come and go
Foes come and go
Highest of the highs, down
To the lowest of the lows
Keep my feet on the floor
Keep my head to the sky
And I shoot for the stars
Aim for the moon
Shine like the sun
Illuminate the world
(Yeah)
Storms come and go
Foes come and go
Highest of the highs, down
To the lowest of the lows
Keep my feet on the floor
Keep my head to the sky
And I shoot for the stars
Aim for the moon
Shine like the sun
Illuminate the world
(yeah)
What a wonderful life
Gotta show love to sky
And the sun and stars
That I'm under at night
Watching these things take flight
No more dreaming, reality
Feeling like I'm right
Where I have to be
And still can't stop
Til I'm satisfied
So y'all get out the way
Or be a casualty
Love to my people
Out in Calgary
Y'all fuck with a brother, for real
Cause everytime I'm in you
It's love
Next time I come through
Let's build
My vibe
Is at an all-time high
And it will happen
When spending all that time
Perfecting magic
Winning on my mind
So I rise and I grind and I shine
Thats why..
Storms come and go
Foes come and go
Highest of the highs, down
To the lowest of the lows
Keep my feet on the floor
Keep my head to the sky
And I shoot for the stars
Aim for the moon
Shine like the sun
Illuminate the world
(Illuminate the world)
Storms come and go
Foes come and go
Highest of the highs, down
To the lowest of the lows
Keep my feet on the floor
Keep my head to the sky
And I shoot for the stars
Aim for the moon
Shine like the sun
Illuminate the world
(yeah)
Illuminate the world
Shine
Yeah
Windows peek
Beauty speaks
Outwardly
Wanna meet
I try to speak
Awkwardly
My tongue tied
I get shy
Windy streets
Weather storm
Keep me warm
Or let me bleed
On these streets
I compete
To come clean
These rhyme schemes
Just might be
A pipe dream
To blow up or throw up
When it seems
You come close
And I choke
I can't breathe
Without you
I doubt you
Feel the same
Am I ever on your brain
Like the matter that is grey
Or emotions I evade
But with you I wanna stay
But with you
I want
To stay
So let me take you
To the store
Buy the dress that you adore
Take you home
And take it off
Sometimes less is more..

Less is more
I only feel her cause she kept it raw
imperfections on display
more connected to her flaws
I dig her cause she's unapologetic
fly aesthetic
try to holla, better step to her
on some next shit
minds intersecting
fine lines
all in divine time
the dimension
to the highest
somewhere they can't find us
the direction
this is science, chemistry
I couldn't just let it be
the L to the letter V
Even if it hurts though
we can hover Over this city
puffing this purple
patience still a virtue
waiting of the line to diminish
we in each other's minds
so it's finished
painting a image of us
together when it's raining
can we just be lovers?
watching you entertain these brothers, losing
while your eyes already did the choosing
amusing
what they sweating for
sometimes less is more
Got me falling
over myself
trying to
find where it ends
light years away
somewhere in the universe
find a constellation
and stay
Shooting star wonder
Blessings all around oh
Float into another space
Galaxies between us
Nothing can divide love
We align, trust in destiny
Wake up smell the flowers
it's the type of scent that I could not forget
laid up in your garden
on them rainy days
soft pedals against my face
don't care if I get wet
no rain coat
I wanna soak it in
love how we let things flow
don't get lost in the wind
kisses from a rose
it's so sensual
love how you bloom
when the sun enters you
they ignore the stigmas but I don't
I often wonder if the taste
match the aroma
I know ya
got your thorns some are poisonous
consider me warned
it's hard to hear me
through all the noise
when they all swarm you
that sweet nectar so sweet
you sweet vessel
obsession it's holy
how I worship thee
honey ya so pure
it's nature
all I'm needing is your cure
less is more

I heard the you're back in the city
I heard you'd be chillin here for a while
I wonder what urged you to hit me
Why am I on your mind
You're a millions miles
You've been chasing your dreams
I've been chasing mine
If it aint you
It's a waste of time
Tried to replace you
Can't take your smile
And paste it on anyone
It's a vibe
Let's go somewhere, slow dance
Somewhere I can look in your eyes
Girl how you're working that dress
The way that you wear it
You're fly
No need for snapping no pictures
Who knows you better than I
Now you're back in my vision
All I'm really asking is you time
Baby can we spend some time
Before you walk out of here
Baby can you spend the night
Before you up and walk
Out of my life
Spend some time
Spend the night
Spend some time
Spend the night
One look in your eyes
And it takes me back
To a different time and a place
Whoever thought in mind
We could make it back
If only for the night you could stay
We could press pause on life
We could get lost in the moments
Or we could just talk all night
All I really want to do is hold you
And make memories we could hold on to
Don't want to be just an afterthought
I'm shooting my shot for you girl
What you know bout that love and that basketball
Can we be happily after all
Can I change your mind
All I'm asking for
Is a second of magic or passion
Watching you go
No I can't let that happen so
Baby can we spend some time
Before you walk out of here
Baby can you spend the night
Before you up and walk
Out of my life
Spend some time
Spend the night
Spend some time
Spend the night

How could you be so sure?
You spent the night last night
And you looked so peaceful while you were sleeping
It was like this was the only place you wanted to be
Out of 8 billion people in the world
You're here with me
How are you so sure?
How are you so sure about us?
How could you be so sure
At times I'm insecure
I'm scared that I could lose you
What are you in it for
Is it the gimmick or
Maybe I'm immature
Pinning the past against you
The women I have some anger
But that's not your fault
And naw I'm not an angel
But you see through my flaws
In love with every wall
How could you see into my heart
When I got my guard up
All this chaos in my world
You trying to be a part of
Seeing light in dark places
Colours in the shades of grey
Paces change, you still patient
I applaud the bravery
Love, emotional slavery
Chained to each other
You at peace
When you lay with me
It's crazy
You're convinced
I'm your knight with shining armour
To be your hero, it's an honour
I often wonder what you see
It's hard to think about the fact
That you'd be leaving me
How could you be so sure?
Why don't you chase
After me this time
I always come around
Say that you're chasing
Your dreams these days
I'll run
Til you catch up to my pace
I always let you go
You always ask me
To come chase after you
We could change the world together
Definitely considering that..
What makes you so sure about me?
That I'm the one
You so sure
You say if we take that leap together
We gon be alright
How do you know?
Maybe I should just trust you
Once and for all huh
Before you go..
I just wanna say thank you
Maybe I'll be there for you this time..
