L.E.S. Artistes

What I'm searching for
To tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
Walking by myself
Down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me keep going
Be a pass by waver
Build me up, bring me down
Just leave me out you name dropper
Stop trying to catch my eye
I see you good you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy you fast talker

Chorus:
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

What am I here for
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself
Not to know you
I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me
I am an introvert an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now
A face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself
An innovator

Chorus.

Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
Tell you what
If I can shake it
I'm 'a make this
Something worth dreaming of




YOU'LL FIND A WAY

Go Ahead, you know you want it_
You'll have no other way_
You just want to take us down_
Go ahead,_I'll be the one hit_
If I can take you, boy, it just might throw this town_
Oh, you want to get it_
You make us bleed, it'll prove there's life somewhere_
And oh, no, I want to yell it_
But do we speak or are we just nodding our heads_
No way, not me, what you got, _
It's not for me, but you'll find a way_
No way not me, what you got, _
It's not for me__

Don't reach too far_
You will fall over_
Don't be surprised what you discover_
Don't fear your call_
Can't pull us under_
You better watch out, run for cover__

We see right through it_
You get what you give, you get what you give__

Go ahead_I'll be your junkie_
I'll be deplete you can heap all rubbish here_
Go ahead, now dump it on me_
If I go quiet will the itch go down with me_
Oh, you got to get it_
Nevermind that it was never there nowhere_
But oh, no, not for a minute_
For now you'll make your bed_
And it will wait, I swear__
No way, not me, what you got, _
It's not for me, but you'll find a way_
No way not me, what you got, _
It's not for me__

Don't reach too far_
You will fall over_
Don't be surprised what you discover_
Don't fear your call_
Can't pull us under_
You better watch out, run for cover__

We see right through it_
You get what you give, you get what you give__

Tell them that they'll get what they wanted,
Tell them_
Tell them that they'll get what they wanted._
'Til then....




SHOVE IT

Brooklyn we go hard_
We on the look for the advantage, we work hard_
And if we seem to rough it up a bit_
We broke but we rich at heart_
Pull ourselves up now we won't choke_
It's our time, put the lights on us__

War tactics they make me sick_
Reel your heart in run away with it_
Smile in your face, undermine your back_
Got guns for the strength they lack_
So if you know another way_
You can't look the other way_
If you know another way,_
Tell them so right to their face__

We think you're a joke_
Shove your hope where it don't shine (4x)__

I pay for what's called _
Eccentricity and my will to evolve_
I hear them all say_
That I got heart_
But not everything that it takes__

Taint my mind but not my soul_
Tell you I got fire_
I wont sell it for no payroll_
Let 'em hold me down_
I know if I know another way_
I can't look the other way_
I know another way_
I'll tell them so right to their face__

We think you're a joke_
Shove your hope where it don't shine (4x)




SAY AHA


Louder than they
Louder than they
Louder than they
Allow, allow
Louder than they
Louder than they
Louder than they
Allow, allow
Say Aha, Aha
Say Aha, aha

At night it's eating up your head,
Backed against the wall
Got you in a tight place
Though you're not alone at all
Been fighting, trying to place a name on what it's called
Make you feel like a losing streak cuz you know
But you're not involved

Louder than they
Louder than they
Louder than they
Allow, allow
Louder than they
Louder than they
Louder than they
Allow, allow
Say Aha, Aha
Say Aha, aha

It's alright, cuz everything they say
Doesn't make no sense
It's that time
I'm picking up my ass
Up from off the fence
Gonna blow a hole in this charade
It's self defense
I'm a army got a whole brigade in my two sense

Louder than they
Louder than they
Louder than they
Allow, allow
Louder than they
Louder than they
Louder than they
Allow, allow
Say Aha, Aha
Say Aha, aha

Ooooohhh
Send in your torpedos for all they know
Make a show, shake them up before you blow
Cuz they don't want no cure
No, you'd better find a way
Their aim's not pure

Louder than they
Louder than they
Louder than they
Allow allow
Louder than they
Louder than they
Louder than they
Allow allow
Say Aha, Aha
Say Aha, aha



CREATOR


Got no need for the fancy things_
All the attention that it brings_
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen_
And I will deliver the explosion__
Can't say it's gonna get me far_
Do no good to say what you are_
I run the streets and I break up houses_
River runs deep and the flame devours it__
Me, I'm a Creator_
Thrill is to make it up_
The rules I break got me a place_
Up on the radar_
Me, I'm a Taker_
Know what the stakes are_
Can't roll it back, it's understood_
Got to play our cards__
Sit tight I know what you are_
Mad bright but you aint no star_
Polish up til you make it gleam_
Your M.O, I know what you mean_
Tail ridin' and I know it's true_
While they screamin' I love you_
Down deep you know there aint no flow_
A soul decay, was D.O.A__

I know what you here for now_
Words out you're an idea whore though,_
Now don't you crush on me_
I'll see you in your pipe dreams_
Whether or not you know it's true_
You're who they dictate to_
That shit must hurt real bad_
Fakin' what you wish you had___

Here all the folks come ask about me_
Band wagon, know they used to doubt me_
Blind side tend to hit real hard_you should heed the warning, get a body guard_
Steady friction in this bitch_
Creepin' in just like an itch_
So far I got the last laugh_
Still the rich rise up, still I live fast_
Wouldn't know it face to face_
Got no soul and got no taste_
Moving in speed up the pace_
I got it locked though, what a waste All the talk is standard fare_
Walk the walk if it gets you there_
On the grind til the gig is up_
I'm 'a smash 'em down_
Put a muzzle on them like "what!"




MY SUPERMAN

Hey Hey Hey (2x)

Well you're a liar and
Your cues are all wrong
but I can't count all the ways you woo me
I watch you capture
What I can't hold
Now make it make some sense to me

You are
You are my (3x)
Superman

Make it fly
Bless your soul
You get by
Take me along
But all the static here it's breaking you a-part
You can't stay the way you , you , you , you

You are
You are my (3x)
Superman











LIGHTS OUT

Lights Out
Shoot up the station
TV's dead, where's there to run?
Watch everybody come undone
Lights Out
Won't make it easy, wont make it fun
Wont let them see now, how they have won
Still I'll go another round

Chorus:
Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin'
Now don't you worry turn out the lights

(must be worth it 'cause the more I try the more it gets uneven,
I can shake it I keep thinking but it's with me for a reason)

Wiped Out
No concentration
They got us basking in a storm
I watch it as it loses form
I doubt
They even see me
Guess what I want
A casualty but
I am up front
And I know what it's about

Chorus

I'm still here shaking my head
The one you can't account for
I keep just one step ahead
There's no place to run

Chorus




STARSTRUCK

Do it again
And I'll see you tomorrow
I want to get it
You've got something to borrow

Can't make it feel right on my own
That's when I turn you on again
I buy it but it don't measure up
What is the missed ingredient

Chorus:
I, I see you fade
I, I see you fade away (2x)

Under the skin
It's not so easy to swallow
Don't reel me in
To find my dreams are so hollow
What is it you got I don't get
I watch you fumbling again
Look dreamy behind your cigarette
Know it ain't true now

Chorus
Oooh wee ooh wee oooh
We all find you easy so amuse us
Don't get too heady you might abuse luck
You're starstruck

Chorus



UNSTOPPABLE


I got to be Unstoppable
I got to be Unstoppable
Ey ey ey ey
You don't lie
Ey ey ey ey
You don't lie


0-0-7 Mission and it's just one day
I marked my position then I ran away
Got these boots made for walking and some pepper spray
My two guns in my pocket cuz it's brick today
I said hey Mrs. Parker
Can I get your spot
The block too hot
No parking spots
The joker cops they ticket take my cash
The boys on the block
Got eyes for my ass

Chorus


Last stop Franklin smell it makes me sick
Got my street vision on I don't see shit
And still I stay fresh I spend the top dollar
Cuz on my block the knockoffs are fiyah
Meet me at the J where they got the Domino game locked
Boy cross the street with tight pants .. your hipster ass on down to the Beacon
I fly right past him, don't take my mask off

Chorus

I got the talk
The beats and bass
Give me one I'll take it
Make you lose your place,
Tell me I-I-I can play
So I speed up the pace
I break it break it you can't stop me
In this ra-race

Chorus



I'M A LADY (Feat. Trouble Andrew)


Now won't you run and tell your boyfriend
Tell him don't hold his breath for me
I got some money I was saving
Got some hearts that I'll be breakin
Know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
I know someday they'll make a martyr out of me

She's so fine

Chorus:
And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I'm a Lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
I know I spend magic reel it out
Try to hold a light to me
I'm a Lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I like to watch the way the wind blows
What does it know that I don't yet
Ooh oh look so pretty, now you're just so sweet
But see how far you can get
See just how far you can get

She's so fine

Chorus.

And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone
No one said no, no one said
Make something with what's in your head
And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone

Chorus.



ANNE



My name is Anne, I got a plan
I may lack virtue
But I'm penitent
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
To lose my mind
It's never easy
A shadow still
there's weight to me
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh


J,j,jesus Pieces
Rescue me
the more I try
the more it gets too complicated

J,j,jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes
The more it takes


My name is Anne, I'll take a stand
I'll hold my head up dig on in
Ah-oooooooh
You can bait me for the hell of it
I'll take it for the hell of it

See it there, but it's too far ahead
Go numb from how bad I want it
See it there but it's too far ahead
And I hear you calling to me right from here

J,j,jesus Pieces
Rescue me
the more I try
the more it gets too complicated

J,j,jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes
The more it takes

YOUR VOICE

I want to hear your voice
and I won't say
that it's bad when you're far
I want to hear your voice
and I won't say
that I cry when you're gone
I wonder why you are so cold
why you are so cold
when I know you're on fire
I want to hear your voice and I won't say

That maybe we'll never end up

Where you've been now
does it render you so different
'Cause baby I don't know
what I'll do if you don't want to be here no more
Do you stay, I don't know
but I just want to
I want to hear your voice again
So are you coming, are you coming
Come back to me
I want to be
where you lay down your robe

And I won't run out in your way
when you head back home
And I'm gonna heed my mind
just nod my head
I'm 'a leave you to what you know
