Lyrics
1. Say So Long
Family forgive me I get caught up, yet you get left behind
Age old, but it's still just a mystery
Why the destination outweighs where you get to be?
Today, right now, this moment of history
Nose to the grindstone eyeing up make believe
I say so, I say so long and drag on
Kickin' off a session and it feels like a blessing
I'm stressing more ways to get paid, but learning my lesson
I flex pipes on the mic, yea they go with no question
Steady flow I'm on the go, non-stop til the quest ends so...
Drag on and say so long to the negatives vibes
That you know to be wrong
You've got to drag on and say so long
Feel the positive vibes while you're singing this song. C'mon
In the business of making a living, the living gets left behind
Family forgive me I get caught up, yet you get left behind
Take leave, better make that believing be
But don't lose touch or your grip on reality
Today, right now, the famine and family
Learn to love the struggle and you'll find it unraveling
I say so, I say so long and drag on
Better late than, better late than never, never
Kickin off a session and it feels like a blessing
Im stressing absolutely nothing, but this moment Im given
I bless up, and sit back, as I thank the God some
singing say so long, dragging on and on and...
Oh in the business of making a living, the living gets left behind
Family forgive me I get caught up, yet you get left behind
I say so long
2. Victorious
the world was marching on, while we danced one more song
So many long years, we loved & longed here
And now seem fit to rise above
Something sacred is going on here
And I can't help but feel the love
Victorious. My love we victorious. Low and behold, the revelry day has come. My love, victorious.
Maybe money bought them all they dream, but we had to bank on hope
Pockets worn and torn and empty, but our pores they overflow
So many long years, we scratched and clawed dear
and now seem fit to rise above
So long we waited, but now it's ours dear
I can't help but feel the love
Victorious. My love we victorious. Low and behold, the revelry day has come. My love we victorious.
So many, many stones that we turn up-ended
So many, many means that bleed without an ending
We never, never wavered, no we did not wake
Just dreamed and dreamed and dreamed until it ached
You saw me hopelessly
Not a romantic in the least
But you believed for me
When I could only muster half a man you stood and sang
Victorious. My love we victorious. Low and behold, the revelry day has come. My love we victorious.
Victorious. My love we victorious. Low and behold, the revelry day has come. My love we victorious.
3. Neighbor's Cup
This is how it is, you live or die by the tune, we're making music, but no money, you think we playing the fool?
You say we breaking on down, naw we running so smooth, just laying in wait for you all to come to…
This is how it is you live or die by the tune, we making music, but no money cause we're paying our dues
You know we break it on down, so you're telling your crew, "that fiction 20 down sound, that's my kinda brew"
Hold your head up and fill your neighbor's cup
We gonna fill it up, We gonna live it up, We gonna fill it up, We gonna give it up, We gonna fill it up, We gonna live it up - Hold your soul cause everything rises around us
You know its just a matter of us bridging the gap man
But i been staring down it since 2007
You just a bit impatient, find a way to relax man
Puff and pass it on, I'll pay it forward until then
You know its just a matter of us bridging the gap
But when we show some love we like to get some back
So if you're dragging the line, we'll help you pick up the slack
F20D live, feel the beat and react. now c'mon
Hold your head up and fill your neighbor's cup
We gonna fill it up, We gonna live it up, We gonna fill it up, We gonna give it up, We gonna fill it up, We gonna live it up - Hold your soul cause everything rises around us
This is all i want to do with my life
Play that music baby and sing until I die
its something so forgiving tho i deserve abuse
May I fill my neighbor's cup and pay my due
Hold your head up and fill your neighbor's cup
We gonna fill it up, We gonna live it up, We gonna fill it up, We gonna give it up, We gonna fill it up, We gonna live it up - Hold your soul cause everything rises around us
This is how it is you live or die by the tune, make your music or their money now what's in you to do?
You see for me I gotta sing of what I know to be true, come correct & original from the sky to the boot
This is how it is you live or die by the tune, we making music and that money, like the grass from the root...
you know we breaking new ground, so you're telling your crew
that fiction 20 down, yo thats my kinda brew
4. Maudlin
Speak of a soul's soul and paint me her tide, preach of an ego and sell me on their crime
I'm given to listen, if you'll do the same, let's offer this afternoon to clean off the slate
Bring on the bullshit til the booze takes our guard, we've got maybe an hour now to come from the heart.
Don't take this as maudlin, but these are damn fine friends.
Yes the petty come between, we dismiss and reconvene from time to time but then... when the shit hits the fan, trust us ladies and gentlemen, we rise together again.
Now moving on as the hearts far too slurred, we're left to look back and give old truths swollen word
We speak from the shoulder taps to keefin' our kind, we measured most memories by how we got high
The time was no matter, money gripped all we did, now dollars at ease, the time's on as our lid
We need all that gravity to keep us coming down, too in love with the rise between the lost and the found
Don't take this as maudlin, but these are damn fine friends.
Yes the petty come between, we dismiss and reconvene from time to time but then... when the shit hits the fan, trust us ladies and gentlemen, we rise together again.
'Cause it will and it has but it's never to last, so we just let it pass and don't read between
The lines are just words, that ego a girl and this just the world as have seen
We each view our own, no need to run home, just pass one along and find the humor in
The words all falling in line, that girl believing her lies and me here thinking that I know anything
Don't take this as maudlin, but these are damn fine friends.
Yes the petty come between, we dismiss and reconvene from time to time but then... when the shit hits the fan, trust us ladies and gentlemen, we rise together again
5. Do Not Feed The Radio
She said son you're gonna turn around, turn around and write this song
She said son you're gonna sing it loud, sing it loud, the world will know
They put a bit of daydream in my head
And I believed in every word and psalm she read
My mama told me boy you better get your head on right
and roll on like 5 nada at a stop - red light
That's right proceed while the traffic just creep
they rolling with the crowd you rolling F 20 Deep
The heart of the beat, the head of the hustle
the grin is what it is cuz I got nothing but love for
the devils out to revel in untimely demise
But the occasion is coming and I'm intending to rise
Let it go son, Do Not Feed The Radio
They put a bit of daydream in my head
And I believed in every word and psalm she read
You just a trivial character in this game of pursuit
to get loot my pants sag, though I'm wearing a suit
I couldn't give a damn if you wanted to give me the boot
I flow on like free style so your point is moot
You couldn't put in a box, like a flock of sheep trembling
send a million men to offend me but then again
you will find I'm the creme de la creme
So I'm gonna rise to the top and bring the game to an end
Let it go son, Do Not Feed The Radio
I would have been there all hippy and nonsense,
broke & lonely like nobody knows
But she saved me on a mountain of Mary
and my darkest day became my own cornerstone
My mama told me... she said they're no good for you boy
Let it go son, Do Not Feed The Radio
