The Game 03:39
lyrics
She walks through the door and everybody looks her way Struts on by and suddenly I’m engaged I don’t normally like these games that everybody plays Although I like some hard to get Are you sure you wanna play that game? Cause I don’t need a queen in my hand I got the ace of spades Oh move on over, move on over Everybody make way Move on over, move on over She be heading my way Move on over, move on over Ooo you wanna play? Move on over, move on over Sure you wanna play? The Game She hops in the car and everybody looks our way With a look on her face showing she got her way Now I’m holding on the wheel with everything I got I’m trying not to swerve, driving line to line And I hit every bump in the road Cause that’s how I play the game The Game Of move on over, move on over Everybody make way Move on over, move on over I be driving insane Move on over, move on over She be calling my name Move on over, move on over This is how we play The Game She walks out the door and everybody looks our way Strutting everything left over from yesterday I don’t even got a shirt on I’m grinning ear to ear Oh you want to know the secret? The secret to the game Listen up here good my friends You just gotta let her win Let her win

Make my day Make my day I think my time’s finally come When I won’t be lonely anymore Found a four-leaved clover A penny heads-up And now a pretty lady that’s staring me down Oh oh, I got my fingers Oh oh, my fingers crossed Oh oh, hey pretty baby don’t let me down, don’t let me down, no Oh oh, I got my fingers Oh oh, fingers crossed Oh oh, I’m making my move Don’t slow me down, don’t slow me down, no Got the dice in my hand Blow a kiss to the sky Then I do the little shake And I let it go I say my prayer C’mon hard seven let’s take it home Oh oh, I got my fingers Oh oh, Fingers crossed Oh oh, I’m making my money Don’t let me down, don’t let me down, no Oh oh, I got my fingers Oh oh, fingers crossed Oh oh, I’m on a roll Don’t slow me down, don’t slow me down, no You got nothing in your hand Just a bluff in your eye I see your two and I’m raising it five Oh oh, I got my fingers Oh oh, fingers crossed… Make my day Make my day

Drive By 03:57
lyrics
Baby could you save me from this life I live alone I just drove by to catch an eye So maybe you could see the sad look in my eyes I’m locked in the dungeon and you got the key Is it my looks or the lack of a swagger? It’s probably something that don’t even matter When the sun rises you’ll think of my face? If you see it enough oh you just may Baby could you save me from this life I live alone I just drove by to catch an eye So maybe you could see the sad look in my eyes I’m locked in the dungeon and you got the key Are you too shallow to give me a chance At least give me something to break my heart to Your gravity pulls me you push me away Give me the pros of a heartbreak Baby could you save me from this life I live alone I just drove by to catch an eye So maybe you could see the sad look in my eyes I’m locked in the dungeon and you got the key

Running From the Popo 03:27
lyrics
Running From the Popo Oh, oh, oh-oh, ohh I’m not the man you think I am, or maybe I am Just depends on the story that you’re hearing You see I’m sketched to fit the target of a crime The one I try to stop each and every time I got the pressure from the outside and inside and inside and outside Both sides want me on their side I’m searching for the common ground, that safe place in-between You see I battle the two extremes Just wanna do the right thing But I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t Somehow forced to walk this line, ohff If something goes wrong, they sure be looking for me And then I’m gold, as long as I can save their life And if I don’t, they all be coming for me And I’m running from the popo Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh… I’m in a battle that I can’t win, but then again I cannot lose But I have nothing to lose, or to win for that matter I wish I could choose with no consequence on my consciences But my consciences is my consequence And I keep being told, “Boy do not resist,” It’s a system that is set up for my system to fail If destiny would have it then I’m going to jail Just wanna do the right thing So it’s the slammer for one The slammer for two Let’s go girl just me and you, oh If something goes wrong, they sure be looking for me And then I’m gold, as long as I can save their life And if I don’t, they all be coming for me And I’m running from the popo Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh…

No Pain 03:21
lyrics
It’s not like I wanted much you know It’s not like I loved you with my heart and soul Guess I should have seen it But I thought I could beat it That’s a hell of a daemon you got You couldn’t choose to let it go I won’t be sorry If I act a fool Laughing’s got me feeling no pain, no pain Don’t be sorry No I’ll be fine But lord have mercy on your dark soul, dark soul It’s not like he stole my pot of gold Guess I should be thanking him, you know No I’m not going to warn you I think I’m gonna toast to that I just want to thank you my friend It feels so good to be set free I won’t be sorry If I act a fool Laughing’s got me feeling no pain, no pain Don’t be sorry No I’ll be fine But lord have mercy on your dark soul, dark soul

Holding Back No More 03:05
lyrics
I’m not holding back Not holding back no more You best take a back Or my fist they got a lot to say I’ve been pushed around too much That something’s got to give or break I’ve done drawn a line But the footprints slap me in the face I’m not holding back Not holding back no more You best take a back Or my fist they got a lot to say This time it’s personal Revenge is on its way You’ve been forced and warned man You talk the talk now walk the walk And take it like a man I’m not holding back Not holding back no more You best take a back Or my fist they got a lot to say My back’s against the corner My back’s against the wall My back’s against the corner You backed me to the wall I’m not holding back Not holding back no more You best take a back Or my fist they got a lot to say
