Track Name: Loose in the Knees
We we get loose in the knees
Jaybird legs
While we tapping our feet

Knock-kn-knocking our heads to the feet
Chests are popping
And our shoulders swing

Whoop whoop it’s a grand jubilee
If the party’s too full
Then we’ll move it to the street

Don’t matter if it’s cold or if it’s heat
We gonna get down with the friends we keep

One Two
Buckle My
Shoe is getting loose
We dancing on the roof top

Three four
Hit the floor
Shake it all around
And move it to the sound yeah

CHORUS

We greet the morning sun
We have been having fun
Track Name: Flip the Sound
Flip flip flip flip the sound
Set beats down and lay them under

Riff riff riff riffs of mouth
Spit the lighting, sing the thunder

While I’m writing mine
I’m switching modes
The genre’s sunder

And as I rock this beat
Pop pop this heat
They gonna say that chik’s a wonder

I’ve got what they’re falling over falling for

Give them my number if they want it
Tell them my name when they ask about me

Flip flip flip flip the sound
Set beats down and lay them under

Riff riff riff riffs of mouth
Spit the lighting, sing the thunder
Track Name: Gets That Thing
Gets that thing and he gets that thinga-thinga
Gets that thing and he gets that thing

And he knows and he knows
And he knows and he knows

If I’m feeling worried
He can always calms my mind
Gives perspective make me smile

And he can be very
Pleasing when he is my guide
Makes me hot. Boy makes me wild.

And he knows and he knows
And he knows and he knows

He got got got another one
Got another one
We got on with it

He’s the one
For me
He’s got another thing coming

Makes me weak
And makes me wild
A Damsel bumping
Track Name: Feed Em If We Bought Em
You say you live in climax
On the throne where the rhymes at
You got your dogs – they got your back
Green bill paper papers – you keep em stacked

What about weaknesses?
Down times and middle class day to day shit?
It’s all about extremes -
Living large or selling drugs on the street.
What’s the word about that in beween?

Your crib it shows your dollars
Its wings are large and hollow
With basements lined
With sleepy cars that gleam and shine

And bigger styles are better
Wear women like a sweater
And flash your digs around about
Then change them out

Showing your stock and
Stuffing your pocket
Always on top
You never stop rocking
Beats and your lockin
Ladies like Brosnin’

Heaven is open
No need for hope, your
Gold-plated boat
Will always stay float
There’s never a moat
No chance you could choke
Your heart can’t be broke
Or slowed by the smoke

So people if you feeling me
Ask for something better
On our level
Full of honesty

We feed ‘em if we bought ‘em
We’ll feed ‘em if we want ‘em
Track Name: Winter Coat
Zipping up my winter coat
Cock the collar when the wind blows
Light a fire when the sun gets low
Chemical change the wood to a glowing coal

Have yourself a glass with us
Throw it down and stop the rush
Let’s cook a lovely meal and stuff
Bring your friend because we got enough

I can hear the waterfall a falling falling
Silhouettes of trees their branches glowing glowing

Bundle up and get in the car
We’re gonna take a ride to the reservoir
Though you can see your breath in the cold, black night
Hands in our pockets and your shoulders up tight

One layer, two layer drop drop drop
Set it on down, leave it on the rock
There ain't no sidewalk, there ain't no dock
Run up to the edge – jump, jump don’t stop

We – we gonna dip this thang
Night swim – HEY! What
Night swim –HEY!

We – we gonna dip this thang
Night swim – HEY! What
Night swim –HEY!

Zipping up my winter coat
Zip zipping up my winter coat

Heading back into the door
It’s time to get up out the cold
Track Name: Make Some
Get here
Be part of this
Throw out
Chains that keep you
From our
Sweet sweet loving
Boy you’ve got to be here with me

We’ve got
What they dream of
You are
What I wanted
We’re here
On this planet
Boy let’s make some beauty of it

I remember when I met you
2 students in a coffee shop
Reading the same text book
I notice you, you notice me, our eyes lock

Conversation was so easy
Your eyes they were so sweet
On the way back home
I had this funny feeling biking down the street

God Damn!
Something it just feels so right
I have this sneaking suspicion
The boy’s gonna end up loving me and change my life

Some come on Mister Right Stuff
If you feel it too
Let’s build a life together
One plus one is so much greater than two

CHORUS

Boy I keep falling for ya, Falling for ya, Falling for ya
Boy I keep falling for ya, Falling for ya, Falling for ya

As we grow thick as thieves
I get more in my life from the loving that you give me
I’ve had some others
But you’re so much stronger than my lovers before yah

Falling on and on and on
Say boy let’s makes some beauty of it
Let’s go on and let’s be lovin'

CHORUS
