Verse 1:
You're just my type
But this feels different
Guess I wasn't messing with no real women
That could hold it down
Keep it real with me
All the other ones would lie
Eat a mil for free
They dip
When I hit the asphalt
But then I'd get back up
And wipe the ash off
Then they'd come right back
Like they were there the whole time
Running they old game
Repeating their sorry lines
But girl your way different than the rest em
You value the time together
Not the restaurant
You kept it 100
even when it'd hurt
But thats part of the main reason
I still mess with ya
Though I ain't tryna mess your plans up
Ive been thinking
Girl, maybe I should man up
Tell you
What's been eating at my mind but
It just gets harder for me to find words
Chorus:
And girl
That's how you make me feel
Like we got something real
--something that I never felt before
But something bout it got me craving mo
And if we vowel to always keep it real
We gon do it do it right, do it right fo sho
Verse 2:
We all have had our own past and
If you down
it won't be hard
To move past it
Your ex messed up
He lost something special
Now tell that sucka
Get to packin'
I can't promise material
A big car
A big house
Cause its all surreal
But I can promise to treat you like a queen
My queen
My Girl
My Girl
My Dream
I wanna show you how you really make me feel
but im not tryna look played out
I know you gonna run and tell your girls and
we all know how thats gonna play out
But ill never achieve nothing
by just sitting around
So i think im just gonna speak up
Im really feeling you
Can I take you Out?
Chorus:
And girl
That's how you make me feel
Like we got something real
--something that I never felt before
But something bout it got me craving mo
And if we vowel to always keep it real
We gon do it do it right, do it right fo sho
Chorus:

First day of school
I met this girl
And she was beautiful
Drop Dead
Stunning
Nothing like the usual
5'3
Lightskinned
Derion
Tight fit
She was always smiling
So I think that she might
Like me
So i got my Mack on
My boys were in the back blown
they thought I'd never do it
Said I didn't have no backbone
I showed em
I showed her
Yup
I really had this act going
And everything was fine
Until her man walked in the classroom
Chorus:
And though we spent a little time girl
Im really feeling you
And this is genuine girl
Im really into you
Verse 2:
I met her in the school halls
And she was crying
I asked her what was wrong
And was shocked when she replied with
Me and my ex broke up
And we are currently fighting
I tried to play sad
And cover up all my excitement
I told her itd be alright and
She shouldn't be here crying
He doesn't deserve her tears
And that she should realize it
She looked me in my eyes and
I swear we had a moment
Then here comes her big bad ex
Telling me back up off his women
I ain't budge
And I ain't move
Cause I was where I wanted to, be
I was with her
She was with me
It felt like I was in a movie
Then they argued
But they made up
Now I'm sitting here
Looking stupid
Just another case
of my heart broken
By Cupid
What's up
Chorus:
And though we spent a little time girl
Im really feeling you
And this is genuine girl
Im really into you
Verse 3:
What ever happened
I don't know
cause she was back
And she was singing
I was rapping
We were kicking it
And laughing
We were doing pretty well
For high school kids
Up in Manhattan
Plenty of fish up in the sea
But I was good with what I haad
But she ain't wanna be exclusive
Friends is where she stuck me
Thought I had something good
But I was just young and unlucky
Thought she was the one
But I miscounted
All my options
Guess it wasn't meant to be
But I'm persistent
Ain't no stopping
Fastfoward to this
new girl
Who her
I'd like to get to know her
she looks cute
I'd like to scoop her
She looks like no other
Swear this is one of a kind
I'm really into her
and I know that it is genuine
Haha

Verse 1:
And I don't really play piano
But I got to keep it real right quick
Lil mama got me playing my heart out
Its only been a minute
Yea I swear I know her all to quick
But she's got me
And I'm putting my all out
And damn
She's a modest type
A keep it honest type
A if you keep it real
You know I'll be 100 type
That's why I wouldn't mind
To take a 100 flights
Way down to Vegas and back
So we can spend some time
She's ambitious
Mama got her career goin
Just 16
But she'll be big
Give her a year or so
Don't care bout sleeping with her
Long as we dream together
Don't mind bout freaking with her
Long as we can scream together
Long as she keep it 1 hundred
Ill keep it 2
The world will know of us
But nothing of what we do
A good relationship fails
When too many people into it
They all give advice
But they advice
Is a bad influence
Its funny single people
Always have the most advice
I think they just don't wanna
Be The only one lonely nights
Know they be plotting baby
So hold your goals tight
They'll try to kill your dreams
But they can't kill wat they can't find
Chorus:
And piano ain't my thang but
Maybe if I had a trainer
I could play keys like Alicia
They could teach me
How to love, how to love
And love really ain't my thang but
Maybe if you were my trainer
Maybe you could teach me
How to love, how to love
Verse 2:
And I don't really play piano
But I'm getting a hang of it
Its sounding pretty good
Like a real relationship
uncertain how you feel
Uncertain how you taking it
But I promise this is real
Shawty ain't no faking this
One day we'll look back
At all we're accomplishing
I'll be rocking the stage
You'll be out there modeling
Doing your own thing
You'll be out there modeling
Girl you independent
You deserve some honorment
I know you got your past
And you know I got mines
But if we push it to the side
Girl we'll be fine
You looking for the one
I'm looking for a dime
Well maybe we can each other
At the same time
Chorus:
And piano ain't my thing but
Maybe if I had a trainer
I could play keys like Alicia
They could teach me
How to love, how to love
And love really ain't my thang but
Maybe if you were my trainer
Maybe you could teach me
How to love
How to love

Chorus:
This feeling is so amazing
It reminds me of the days when
We were little kids
Playing at the park
Feeling that Amazement
X4
Verse 1:
Uhh
Its amazing how the times change
Its amazing how the migraines
Something once pain
Reciprocals to a gain
A blessing in disguise
The gold after the rain
They say I'm a lil too grown
To be worried about the park
That's how I know they ain't listening
I ain't talking about no park
I'm talking bout the feeling
Bout the joy in your heart
Which is slowly being stolen
And y'all just playing yalls part
Words I never said
Will be the cause of my death
So imma speak up now
With now with no fear
And no regret
This feeling is so amazing
So I don't know what's taking
Me so long
To fight for it back
This is my only hope
This is my only chance
Yea
Chorus:
This feeling is so amazing
It feels like the days when
We were little kids
Playing at the park
Feeling that amazement
X2
Verse 2:
Now days teens dying over jeans
And they claim no homo
Is a joking thing
No days rappers getting signed for splines
Without a backbone
You just an actor G
Shoot just a snake like the rest of em
But right now that's irrelevant
I'm focusing on the positive
And letting go all the negative
Tryna set my self up for betterment
I know they're tryna still my heartbeat
They're praying that my heart cease
I think they prolly would've succeeded
If I ain't move overseas
Hanging with the wrong crowd
The in crowd
The big boys
That smoke loud
The sticky fingers
The trigger happys
The wanna be's
The posers
The missing daddies
But I evaded it all
They're questioning my rise
But still praying for my fall
I made it through the gutter
Now I'm swerving them off
They don't know what I been through
And we ain't certain tomorrow
(Will ever come
So why waste time
Pleasing people
When in they mind)
Nothing that I did or ever will
Would never add up
Shoot
And I know they might be mad but
Chorus:
This feeling is so amazing
It feels like the days when
We were little kids
Playing at the park
Feeling that amazement
X4
Verse 3:
This feeling is so amazing
It got me trapped in my haven
It got me feeling so fly
Like I'm a raven
It got me feeling like
I'm the realest like
I'm the illest like
I got the illest mic
Real small dude
From the a-town
But I been around
Fans is getting loud
Chorus:
This feeling is so amazing
It feels like the days when
We were little kids
Playing at the park
feeling that amazement
X4
This this
It it
We we
Play play

Chorus:
Don't Stop
Keep Rolling
Keep Doing you like you do
they'll be hating for the moment
but loving you pretty soon
its a flip flop world
one minute they're hot then cold
but you keep doing what you're doing
do you but never fold
x2
Verse:
Keep rolling
and ducking and dodging punches
you got to keep your calm
even though they pushing your buttons
focus on your dreams
and dont wake up for nothing
you doing your 9 to 5
well do it like no one else does it
they can try to hold you back
but you dont let em
keep chasing all your dreams
dont stop for no intersession
you say you a dream chaser
then whats with all the depression
nobody's gon' pull you out
so you better just get to stepping
Dont Stop
Chorus:
Verse 2:
they're expecting your failure
they're praying that you slip up
that you die in your area
and never see a lick off
the dreams you been dreaming
so they whisper through your ear buds
lies which are deceiving
then tell you that its hyssop
but thats just the world that we live in
aint much you can do
except choose to just keep on living
i went through too many years of insomnia
ive been sleeping on my dreams
but they finally got me up
we've all had dreams to live it up
since we were children
the futures still young
and there one way you can fulfill it
I used to ig the term
hard work pays off
but its finally coming true
and im getting some weight off
Dont Stop
Chorus:
