Verse 1 Illusions of you Keep haunting me Visions of you Are baffling These visions of you Won't go away They’ve infiltrated my dreams I'm relying on you To set me free Chorus Suspended in motion Not even gravity defies This silly notion That if we spend our wings we will fly Verse 2 Grandeurs of you Got the best of me All I ask of you Don’t clip my wings Depending on you I can fly away I’ve sacrificed everything Still waiting for you To rescue me From capitulating my needs I’m counting on you Do not abandon me Chorus Suspended in motion Not even gravity defies This silly notion That if we spend our wings we will fly Synth Break Chorus Suspended in motion Not even gravity defies

CHORUS Consumed By the way I walk, talk and act Bemused You need to snap out of it It’s time, It’s time, that you introspect Because you’re not the only one VERSE 1 I have seen that look before I know what you came here looking for Came here to disturb my peace And take your frustrations out on me But I’m Much stronger than you think There’s so much more to me More than meets the eye And I’mo only be me And not what you see In your mind’s eye CHORUS Consumed By the way I walk, talk and act Bemused You need to snap out of it It’s time, It’s time, that you introspect Because you’re not the only one VERSE 2 You need to look down deep within yourself Instead of worrying bout somebody else I won’t fall victim to your insecurities Ain’t got nothing to do with me CHORUS Consumed By the way I walk, talk and act Bemused You need to snap out of it It’s time, It’s time, that you introspect Because you’re not the only one Consumed By the way I walk, talk and act Bemused You need to snap out of it It’s time, It’s time, that you introspect Because you’re not the only one VERSE ADLIB You got me confused With that man Runnin’ round in your head Why you so damn consumed By the way I do me You know you shoulda never assumed that Or presumed that That I’m not the only one You know you shoulda never assumed that Or presumed that That I’m not the only one

VERSE 1 The night is my backdrop Always down for something good How ‘bout ya meet me on the dance floor Where we can shake our groove And bust a move And be ready because I don’t stop Wouldn’t even if I could Here we go I'm down If you down To throw down and cut loose CHORUS Foot loose and fancy free The music’s got the best of me So turn it up No matter what Music don’t stop Foot loose and... VERSE 2 See all it takes is a good jam To get me up and on my feet And that’s exactly what I came for To take advantage of this beat The spell the music’s got you under Has got the best of me And won’t let me be BRIDGE 1 A wave of melodies Washes over me Awash with harmonies That are bitter sweet Sweet just like a beat Beat that makes me wanna throw down CHORUS Foot loose and fancy free The music’s got the best of me So turn it up No matter what Music don’t stop Foot loose and fancy free The music’s got the best of me So turn it up No matter what Music don’t stop BRIDGE 2 Let’s throw down Let’s throw down Let’s throw down Let’s throw down CHORUS Foot loose and fancy free The music’s got the best of me So turn it up No matter what Music don’t stop Foot loose and fancy free The music’s got the best of me So turn it up No matter what Music don’t stop Foot loose and fancy free (Let’s throw down) The music’s got the best of me (Let’s throw down) So turn it up No matter what Music don’t stop (Let’s throw down)

VERSES 1 Papa gotta a new bag But ain’t nothing new Thinking bout our distant past Lest we forget What we went through Some things never Same shit, different day Riddled by an ethos By the boys in blue In plain view CHORUS Shot in broad daylight For the world to see It’s time we all stood up And take a knee VERSE 2 Mama everybody witnessed What they did to you Even though the circumstance Was caught on cam Not enough proof They took your pride and joy away And left you with an empty space He was colored in a skin That’s often misconstrued Same excuse CHORUS Shot in broad daylight For the world to see It’s time we all stood up And take a knee BRIDGE No surround sound No special effects What you see is what you beget Constant ringing in your ear Oooh Hear shots ring VERSE 3 Brothas we are kneeling Vying for truth Never given half a chance Cause Simon says Play by my rules But we lose before we play Before we play the game Forget about the blame game And the shame game I challenge you To break the rules CHORUS Shot broad daylight For the world to see It’s time we all stood up And take a knee Shot broad daylight Shot broad daylight Hear me out, hear me out...don’t shoot Shot broad daylight Hear me out, hear me out...don’t shoot Shot broad daylight Hear me out, hear me out...don’t shoot And take a knee Then take a knee

VERSE 1 You are not alone We’re in it together It’s an emergency I’ll do right I’ll right my wrongs Then from there we’ll have to wait and see We are on the brink Of losing everything After I betrayed ya I wish I could take back My infidelity You did not see it coming I gave you no hint or warning With you is where I belong Don’t make me beg and plead I’m gonna straighten up Kiss and make it better I’m gonna straighten up CHORUS Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back VERSE 2 I know I should have known I shoulda known better I never thought you’d leave I broke up a happy home Now I’m drowning in my misery Never thought to think About the consequence Now I’m bout to lose ya I wish I could take back My infidelity CHORUS Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back BRIDGE See I believe In you and me Don’t walk away Don’t turn your back on me Although I’ve been led astray The blame is all mine I’m gonna change my wicked ways It’s plain to see Our destiny’s in jeopardy Please say to me You love me right back CHORUS Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back Mmm...can you love me right back If you say you’ll take me back Can you love right back
