(Rubin): We met when I visited home after a year in Miami Wasn't too long till I introduced you to my family Stopped going out on the weekends, so did you Long distance love stayed on the phone with you We'd talk about our plans in the abstract We both had things in our past and it was hard to move past that But we decided to determine our fate When you said for me that you would change your city and state I aint even gotta sleep on that damn what an offer First order of business is prepare the coffers Cause now there's gonna be two of us gotta make sure That we livin right so what can they do to us? That love was such a beautiful thing you moved down for me But I didn't consider the baggage you'd bring It was kinda heavy especially for Somebody like me that never did this before But those good times was good times like the Evans We decided to move in we enjoyed each other's presence Who knew we'd ever come to this crossroads When those happy memories, we went and lost those Take my hand let's do a dance Shake your sexy body while the music blast Close our eyes and see how long it lasts And when we open up how many years have passed? Take my hand let's do a dance Shake your sexy body while the music blast Close our eyes and see how long it lasts And when we open up how many years have passed? We got our place 20th floor I had a miserable job And so did you, and then I went and got laid off It was sure a surprise later a blessing in disguise --Cuz you'd never once try to skate off We moved home for a bit stayed at my folks crib And basically that's when I knew In 2009 that you were down to ride and you would stay right by my side Gotta make sure that my future includes you So when we'd map out our plans it was a given we're together In the physical it's better this way for both of us And this level of existence had opened up our minds To harmonize they look from a distance wudnt nobody close to us I got a good offer back in the 305 And rent was cheap there back in recession time So you said let's pack up and go back down Even though you weren't really too fond of that town You called your old boss gave you your job back We both was on the up and up and nothing could stop that But stop that now look where we're at here today Rewriting the rules to this silly game we play Take my hand let's do a dance Shake your sexy body while the music blast Close our eyes and see how long it lasts And when we open up how many years have passed? Take my hand let's do a dance Shake your sexy body while the music blast Close our eyes and see how long it lasts And when we open up how many years have passed? We moved and got another spot a two bedroom downtown With a view that only few in town could beat Our combined salaries and bonuses made us somewhat elite Until you went and made what we had obsolete You had your girlfriends in town one weekend in November Was a weekend to remember with the way it went down I didn't ask no questions came to find out you were playin around You seemed to forget my homies hang at that lounge You know me and them work together They told me what they saw at work, and it's gonna hurt forever To think back to that moment in the office when I lost it When I found out you're unfaithful after all them years you tossed it You found out I'd found out and your tears were like a faucet You knew that it was serious cuz I aint even talk shit I said what I said and I went for the door And you didn't try to stop me I made clear I was sure And I was till you said it's time for you to move home This isn't a normal scenario I could only see you on my phone I went to sleep in 07 I just awoke from a 5 year dream And this long waltz is over now or so it seems

Sometimes I wish I never met you Other times I wish that I could hold you I can't hear you, I can't see you I can't touch you, I can't feel you Girl why'd you run away? I can't even start to think about The things you might be doing right now What I'm supposed to say? OOoh, ooooh, ooooh-ooh-oooohhhh It woulda changed if you'd have stayed OOoh, ooooh, ooooh-ooh-oooohhhh Girl why'd you have to run away? You turned the tables burned the cables that connected us You decided that this cold world had got the best of us I'm still at the crib the same place where we lived Messin up the sheets at night reach for your face where you is How it went down isn't fair, these last few months here have changed me I barely sleep but when I find time I still daydream It's a bitch the way things changed so quick our last kiss Was at the airport the last time I seen you right as you split I lost sight of you quick becuz I couldn't bare to take it Your love had kept me warm for years, then you just stripped me naked Just to make a statement, just so you could test me But you're the one who did me wrong had-no right to second guess me I let you run away knowing you'd regret the loss But you've made me pay the price I let myself forget the cost Now I've been reminded and the taste is so disgusting Where's my heart I cannot find it I have trouble adjusting Damn I can't hear you, I can't see you I can't touch you, I can't feel you Girl why'd you run away? I can't even start to think about The things you might be doing right now What I'm supposed to say? OOoh, ooooh, ooooh-ooh-oooohhhh It woulda changed if you'd have stayed OOoh, ooooh, ooooh-ooh-oooohhhh Girl why'd you have to run away? The future was in front of may until you chose to run away Now I'm fully grown and all alone here on this sunny day Who's Clyde without his Bonnie who's Melinda without Bill Cracks in our foundation left us injured but not killed Or so I'd like to think as I curse life while I drink I've left my comfort zone it all changed right with a blink And it wasn't my decision even though you'll say it wud It put me on a mission when you laid up with that scrub No more takin shit from noone like a overflowing toilet Dont enjoy it I just stay in charge cuz I have been appointed My employment fills the void you left I'm married to the money But I'd trade it in to get you back this aint so very lovely I've got memories with you at every single place around I built you up so high so why'd you have to take me down Leave me to chase the crown alone no queen you changed around You hear me call your name out loud but still don't make a sound I can't hear you, I can't see you I can't touch you, I can't feel you Girl why'd you run away? I can't even start to think about The things you might be doing right now What I'm supposed to say? OOoh, ooooh, ooooh-ooh-oooohhhh It woulda changed if you'd have stayed OOoh, ooooh, ooooh-ooh-oooohhhh Girl why'd you have to run away?

(Rubin): Ah yeah look at you now What'd you used to say? What's that? Oh, really? Huh Yeah Why'd you have to move away? I told you what that would do to may Now I'm tore up the way you say that I want you to bay You always used to say that you'd never change up But you've looked at me differentlay since I went and got my weight up So I stay laid up contemplatin my options I look at it straight up and get my strength from my promise It's something I can't sacrifice especially at half the price You're amazed and astonished I've had to fight to make it this far It's not you don't want my success you just can't take where we are What we've become of these years of coexistence From here on out now these tears will sew the distance As we disappear from out each other's visions And I wonder sometimes does time really heal? Or does it just give us tools to bury and conceal? These are the types of thoughts that I think in my mind In that Lay-Z-Boy you hated as I sink and recline I can't believe you left Said you'd never change up Look what you did What'd you say? Uh huh Yeah right Famous last words but look how the cookie crumbled Like Famous Amos kiss my anus fuck being humble Though I still can't deny to this day that I'm hurt And I try my best just to take this pain and convert It to something else but my heart remains in the dirt This end to me is a start and with this game I will flirt This thing that I'm buildin will let me speak to the children But don't think even with millions I'll be replacing your worth What's worst about this all is that it could have been avoided I tried to put us first you went and put it in the toilet With so many elements competing for my attention, And all these choices to make I can't only move in one direction What you did was foul though it could have been forgiven But when you hit the road I had to go change my position Turn crisis to opportunity failure to promise Identify lies in my life so I can change up to honest last thing? who you? hahahaha right one more time what's that? hah? nononoono Everybody say it'll get a little easier each day But with the way that I've been feeling each day, no way Where you at shotay I reach for you in my sleep And wake myself up fuck you was a freak I miss those nights when I would just arise from my slumber To have you use your license to clean my pipes like a plumber What a bummer tell me baby why you have to go that route? Trying to make those moves you thought that I didn't know about I had plans for our future, I guess they can jess go to hell And what I'm doing with this music girl I hope you c' tell You've given birth to a beast in me and there's no turning back I write an ill song liesurely and I be burning on tracks But that don't erase your essence or replace your presence Same old shit, hung up on this relashoneship second guessin Not following you back home now who could say what could be? I thought you'd never do it but you went and changed up on me There you have it Oh now what you think? Oh you still sayin that? Oh God Yeah, ok. I heard you the first time. I don't believe you. Have a nice life. Goodbye baby.

I am the result of built up anticipation I been waitin for too long in this life I'm no longer patient So I catalyze my catapult, I've changed so much it's radical Yeah I sold out for my job but this is my sybatical Highly analytical intuition rarely fails I've got the vision of an eagle eye I navigate the trails This territory's unchartered but I'm much smarter Than anyone who ever done set out to live larger I am a monster of Godzilla sized proportions it's About time I stopped bending over backwards like contortionists And force the world to bend for me for once I've realized that Gods and Kings is who I be amongst N' with that in mind I handle mine, stay quiet like a pantomime My work speaks for itself, the way I freeze the hands of time Grew tired of being impatient seemed forever I'd wait So I went and made it happen see it's never too late It aint never too late no it aint ever too late Don't sit around and wait go chase that cake it's yours to take It aint never too late no it aint ever too late When you think you gotta give up that's when you gotta raise the stakes It aint never too late no it aint ever too late Don't sit around and wait go chase that cake it's yours to take It aint never too late no it aint ever too late When you think you gotta give up that's when you gotta raise the stakes I made a pact with myself early on in my life To find out what I most love and stick with it But I stayed off of that path that my mom didn't like There was no sense trying to defy the statistics I took my schooling serious as if I studied at Cambridge And I learned a foreign language became useful Graduated and applied myself yet I had felt a void I was young but having trouble feeling youthful Something was surely missing that I couldn't put my finger on I'd been ready to explode I'd always known that I be the bomb But situations and complications in life deferred that And I can't get them years back, now I've learned that I stopped searching for the missing piece and focused on my job Met a woman I was blinded by her beauty Now the lady has left, there's endless problems at work Time to do me this time it is my duty It aint never too late no it aint ever too late Don't sit around and wait go chase that cake it's yours to take It aint never too late no it aint ever too late When you think you gotta give up that's when you gotta raise the stakes It aint never too late no it aint ever too late Don't sit around and wait go chase that cake it's yours to take It aint never too late no it aint ever too late When you think you gotta give up that's when you gotta raise the stakes I'd forgot who I was and my brain began to scatter Till all thangs that used to matter became nothing to me I'd sleepwalk through life I moved away from the basics Even though I was in a place where I was lucky to be I got set in my ways it was like ev-e-ry day's Another step away from the way that I was raised But eventuallay the cipher was completed When I wrote my way right out of the maze Alphadog omega the end and the beginning Needed shit to go down threatening my sanity cuz If it wasn't for that I'd be running right back To the vast array of ways I was that I don't have to be Change done came -yes- and it was long overdue Who knew this music would make me into the strongest of dudes But here I am standing tall as I fight for the prize I blind you with my shine as I shed light in your eyes It aint never too late no it aint ever too late Don't sit around and wait go chase that cake it's yours to take It aint never too late no it aint ever too late When you think you gotta give up that's when you gotta raise the stakes It aint never too late no it aint ever too late Don't sit around and wait go chase that cake it's yours to take It aint never too late no it aint ever too late When you think you gotta give up that's when you gotta raise the stakes

I used to feel abused by the way you broke my heart With the lies you carried round wished I'd rewrote the start Same way I write a song, the fight was long as I struggled With myself-was I right or wrong to give your life some help? It's kept me up nights, and left me with dreams Of me and you in places I've never seen Except the Bulls game mezzanine I would wake up, and wanna go back to sleep So I could see you in your Seven jeans But one day, I awoke and realized That I shouldn't be surprised by the things you went and did Moving to be with me without saying you had a kid Forcing me into a reality I didn't wanna live So when I forgave that, of course you went and cheated How else would you treat it? I was already defeated But I've came back-finally put my mind together You could run away but you couldn't hide forever Forever You couldn't hide forever Forever Forever You couldn't hide forever Forever I went from never wanting kids to trying to be a stepdad And every single time I brought it up that's when you'd get mad You left your little girl for me and I aint even know But I let you stick around-should've said you need to go You said that if we split, you'd still not see your kid So I said I'd only stay if you tried a teenie bit And you didn't really wanna, till I started to walk Then you called me crying one day-you had started to talk To your little girl, your little world came flying right back You changed directions so quick-did a 180 like that And I was happy for you, but not sure what exactly to do As this story unraveled, why did it have to be true? Took awhile to come to grips but once I did I embraced it All the way up until I found out that you'd faked it But it's helped me rock the beat, and make em give the drummer sum I hope your new man can understand where I'm coming from Forever You couldn't hide forever Forever Forever You couldn't hide forever Forever
