No Roads (Lyrics)
[Verse]
Give me some room
I need a thousand acres
I need a view
On the countryside of Naples
Where every car I drive really sound foreign
Whenever I’m inside I feel like a tourist
And me and my homies ride like some wild horses
The girl I’m with is gorgeous, mi amore
[Pre-Chorus]
Said she wanna kick it like Diadora
She might gimme head like a fiadora
And I serenade her when I’m out in Venice
No Roads but I still pull up in a Porsche
[Chrous]
Ride for my city and they ride for me
Gucci on my shades no disguising me
Mob Star money make the rounds for it
Let me know if you down
Ride for my city and they ride for me
Gucci on my shades no disguising me
Mob Star money make the rounds for it
Let me know if you down for it
[Verse 2]
If I end up where I’m not supposed to me
I still got my Angels close to me
Right by the Amalfi Coast with me
It feel like a Cosa Nostra scene
And my blood from the wine straight up from the vine
I don’t worry bout the time
I know it’s all divine
And no matter where I’m at I’ll find a Paradise
[Pre-Chorus]
Said she wanna kick it like Diadora
She might gimme head like a fiadora
And I serenade her when I’m out in Venice
No Roads but I still pull up in a Porsche
[Chorus]
Ride for my city and they ride for me
Gucci on my shades no disguising me
Mob Star money make the rounds for it
Let me know if you down
Ride for my city and they ride for me
Gucci on my shades no disguising me
Mob Star money make the rounds for it
Let me know if you down for it

Hypocrite

[Verse 1]
You can hold this L baby
You don’t know what I been through
When you say things like you do
How could you live with yourself?
I been living through Hell
You throw salt on my wounds
But I still wish you well
And you eat me alive
When you feast your eyes on me
You talk too much and you waste your breath
Silence - That’s a language you ain’t learned yet
You killing me with your attitude
Negative energy that’s the reason I’m mad at you
And all the money problems sound like a lie
When your second home is on Rodeo Drive
I cannot ignore
You covered in Dior
Talking bout the stress of life and acting like you poor
And that’s so crazy to me
And it’s so plain to see
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it’s time for you to be honest with yourself
Look in the mirror and not a filter
Cuz you got a life that people would kill for
I wonder if you ever felt real love
Cuz you cover all your blemishes
And you wearing all your fetishes
You really make it evident
[Chorus]
That you ain’t never had real love
Love
You never had a real one
Real one
You never had real love
Love
You never had a real one
Real one

[Verse 1]
Everything you took from me you can have it
I’m watching it come down around me it’s tragic
I know how it feels to be in your place
If you got something to say, say it to my face
I’m tryna find myself on my own, don’t save me
Never knowing why you’re trying to replace me
[Chorus]
I’m looking at you
You staring at me
I don’t know how you hide everything so easily
I don’t know what to do
You never let me breathe
I hope you know I suffocate when you don’t believe in me
I feel like why is this house not a home with you
I feel like why am I still so alone with you
I feel like you don’t see my face till I’m gone from you
You don’t see what’s real till it all falls down
[Verse 2]
I can take blame, I can take blame
Nothings gonna change
I am not the same
Don’t hold that against me, please
I won’t keep my eyes open and watch you leave
[Chorus]
I’m looking at you
You staring at me
I don’t know how you hide everything so easily
I don’t know what to do
You never let me breathe
I hope you know I suffocate when you don’t believe in me
I feel like why is this house not a home with you
I feel like why am I still so alone with you
I feel like you don’t see my face till I’m gone from you
You don’t see what’s real till it all falls down

Come Alive

[Verse 1]
I’m split in two
I’m the same one as the old one you knew
What a world, it’s different now hear me now
I’ma still shine when the lights burn out
Show you a star when the sun goes down
Tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Seasons change, why wouldn’t I?
Like the leaves in the Summertime
If I was still the same I would wonder why
I am not ashamed of my different sides
[Chorus]
Only in the darkness, I come alive
When I’m crossing to the other side
Tell me if I’m heartless
I apologize
I am not the same every time
I’m changing
Break free, take what I want now
Psycho, it’s a fight for your heart now
I know I’m acting different when it’s dark out
Everything changed
I’m in my darkness, I come alive
When I’m crossing to the other side
Tell me if I’m heartless
I apologize
I am not the same every time
I’m changing
[Post-Chorus]
Come alive
Come alive
I’m changing
[Verse 2]
Cold dark nights but the sun will rise soon
Me and my dogs still howl at the moon
And I blame myself with no exceptions
I be playing myself when I’m projecting
It’s hard to even notice my reflection
Following my ego I’d be losing my direction
This ain’t the old days
Like always
I ain’t always the same
My big bro’s they would tell me to toughen up
They raised they’re little brother to throw a good uppercut
If I run up on em first then I won’t be a runner-up
I do my best and then disappear when the sun is up
[Pre-Chorus]
Seasons change, why wouldn’t I?
Like the leaves in the Summertime
If I was still the same I would wonder why
I am not ashamed of my different sides
[Chorus]
Only in the darkness, I come alive
When I’m crossing to the other side
Tell me if I’m heartless
I apologize
I am not the same every time
I’m changing
Break free, take what I want now
Psycho, it’s a fight for your heart now
I know I’m acting different when it’s dark out
Everything changed
I’m in my darkness, I come alive
When I’m crossing to the other side
Tell me if I’m heartless
I apologize
I am not the same every time
I’m changing
[Post-Chorus]
Come alive
Come alive
[Outro]
All the Angels are all surrounding you, Nick
As always
I know how hard you work
You’re an incredible talent and artist
And son
You’re amazing and
I love you [Verse 1]
I’m split in two
I’m the same one as the old one you knew
What a world, it’s different now hear me now
I’ma still shine when the lights burn out
Show you a star when the sun goes down
Tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Seasons change, why wouldn’t I?
Like the leaves in the Summertime
If I was still the same I would wonder why
I am not ashamed of my different sides
[Chorus]
Only in the darkness, I come alive
When I’m crossing to the other side
Tell me if I’m heartless
I apologize
I am not the same every time
I’m changing
Break free, take what I want now
Psycho, it’s a fight for your heart now
I know I’m acting different when it’s dark out
Everything changed
I’m in my darkness, I come alive
When I’m crossing to the other side
Tell me if I’m heartless
I apologize
I am not the same every time
I’m changing
[Post-Chorus]
Come alive
Come alive
I’m changing
[Verse 2]
Cold dark nights but the sun will rise soon
Me and my dogs still howl at the moon
And I blame myself with no exceptions

[Intro]
Blessings on me got my Angels right beside me
Cover me in crosses
Oh Lord
Say a prayer for me in case the devil wanna try me
[Verse 1]
Saints and sinners ain’t no difference when it’s business
When it’s life or death I’m living
No one understands a villain
I got wounds you couldn’t fix em with some penicillin
Live my truth at least I’m real and not afraid to feel em
All these masks were on us long before the quarantine
Ain’t nothing new this fucking town has been a horror scene
I’m calling out I keep a Crucifix on every wall
If they point the hammer at me I’ll be too legit to fall
[Chorus]
Cover me in crosses
Cover me in crosses
This is not a safe life
The way I’m driving you won’t ever see me hit the brake lights
And I’m gliding through my city like it’s made of ice
Everything is different cuz I paid the price
Blessings on me got my Angels right beside me
Cover me in crosses
Oh Lord
Say a prayer for me in case the devil wanna try me
Cover me in crosses
[Verse 2]
Blessings on me
Dripping platinum like there’s records on me
Jealous Judas plotting vengeance on me
Friends to foes when I got breaded like some Panettone
Set some goals and leave the rest up to whoever’s holy
My ride or die she keep me focused I’m so grateful for her
Been taking time and tryna be an inspiration for her
My back is breaking I keep carrying the world around
I know I’m covered I’m escaping from the devil now
[Chorus]
Cover me in crosses
Cover me in crosses
This is not a safe life
The way I’m driving you won’t ever see me hit the brake lights
And I’m gliding through my city like it’s made of ice
Everything is different cuz I paid the price
Blessings on me got my Angels right beside me
Cover me in crosses
Oh Lord
Say a prayer for me in case the devil wanna try me
Cover me in crosses
[Outro]
Cover me in crosses
Cover me in crosses
