[Verse 1: Rowlan] You see I never take a day off and I been feeling I'm numb, Drugs, money, and boredom is sorta like where I'm from, Paint the picture of the kennedy's flossing, Cape fucking Cod Out of state you call it Boston, Where I'm from everybody needs hope, One out of ten babies being born on dope, No I ain't acting like I came from the slums, I'm just speaking on the shit that's going down where I'm from, I ain't bragging I'm just shedding some light, One time for angels helping us through the fight, I swear, We need your all right now, Lord pick up the phone, We need your call right now, Cause my brother's doing ten, And momma's torn apart, But my mom don't shed a tear, She got the strongest of the hearts, Everything happens for a reason I promise, Even though they call me Rowlan I am still ya baby Thomas, This life is real and it's oh so short, They throwing deals the balls in my court, I mean this sh*t from the bottom of my soul, I ain't jigga, I ain't Nas, I ain't Hopsin, I ain't Cole. [Chorus: Rowlan] No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile, Pursuit to be happy, only laughing like a child, I never thought life would be this sweet, It got me cheesing from cheek to cheek, No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile, Pursuit to be happy, only laughing like a child, I never thought life would be this sweet, It got me cheesing from cheek to cheek, No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile, Pursuit to be happy, only laughing like a child, I never thought life would be this sweet, It got me cheesing from cheek to cheek, Ayy

[Verse 1: Rowlan] You ever see a wild lion versus a lion in a cage, Well that's me against these rappers when you put me on the stage, I'll out think a dictionary playing Pictionary, Fucking Bostons finest and skipping out all the missionary, Young visionary rap fucking genius, I done used so many condoms there's magnum ribs on my penis, Ask your girl she could tell you all about me, I'm only home wrecking the skeptical people who doubt me, No but really, I'm really nice, nice to meet ya, I won't paralyze ya legs, but I'm quite the type to defeat ya, Running after rappers I once liked and want a piece of, Then hitting up they fans with my bars giving out amnesia, Man I mean it when I said now I got it, Man I said it when I meant it but they were so quick to doubt it but, You never listen to my music but you see me in the streets, and you quick to hit me up and ask me all about it, [Chorus: Rowlan] Where going Rowlan, Shit there ain't no telling, They keep on asking where you going Rowlan, Shit there ain't no telling, They keep on asking where you going Rowlan, Shit there ain't no telling, Can't tell you where I'm going, Just know I won't stop, Goodbye to the bottom, Hello to the top, [Verse 2: Rowlan] I'm the air to throne and no one in the throne was home, I'm in a palace all alone getting dome on the cordless phone, I'm talking dirty on the hotline until the bill show up, And I tell them hey sir, that charge was not mine, Mr. comcast, This must be a mistake, But I threw a slight giggle so I think he knows it's fake, I kept lying and asking for bosses bosses, I talked to the CEO then threatened his life with a coffin, They knocked the charge off, but then the cops banged, On the door then shut my cable off right before I came, So I got blue balls and 99 problems, And one Smith n Weston that could easily solve em', I kept it tucked away then answered the door, I got my dick in my hand and swinging shit like a sword, Hey officer you ever grab ya life saver, And stick in a hoe, like your name was darth vader? [Chorus 2: Rowlan] Where you going Rowlan, Shit probably to jail man, Where you going Rowlan Shit probably to jail man, Where you going Rowlan, Probably to jail, Can't tell you where I'm going, Just know I won't stop, Goodbye to the bottom, Hello to the top,

[Chorus: Matt Johnson, Deven Diaz] If this is to end in fire, Then we should all burn together, Watch the flames climb high into the night, Calling out father oh, Stand by and we will, Watch the flames burn auburn on, The mountain side high. [Verse 1: Rowlan] I watch the fire burn, I watch the ashes rise, Watch these friends of mine, With pitty as they die inside, I watch this world change, I watched my mother suffer, I watching my best friend, Turn to my addicted brother, I watch the truth arrive, I hear the my music changing, My dreams are coming true, But all of my friends are fading, I see the my goals, But they still out of my reach, So if I had something to lose, Then I would probably retreat, But that's not me, I'm simply living off of this music, I'm just trying to change a life, I'm realest no need to prove it, I'm the one trying to feed this world, With a little honesty, You love the truth or hate it, I don't owe no one apologies, It bothers me watching the innocence leave the youth, And so I sing up on the songs and hope someday you seek the truth, [Chorus: Matt Johnson, Deven Diaz] If this is to end in fire, Then we should all burn together, Watch the flames climb high into the night, Calling out father oh, Stand by and we will, Watch the flames burn auburn on, The mountain side high. [Verse 2: Rowlan] I watch the flame settle, I watch the ashes die, I watch the youth change, I watch truth lie, I watch personalities slowly fade it's sad, And kids are jaded tryna be the dude they never had, Girls are trying to be that woman in the magazine, So now they feeling good looking grown as an early teen, That ain't good for no one girl take your time to grow, Sixteen and pregnant is only that easy in a show, This world will get you, Yeah this world will flip the table, As The people you once sat with, Turn to just another stranger, Filled with anger, I know I said it a thousand times, One more apology to put down in this book of rhymes, I wish the innocence never left the youth, Thats why I sing up on these songs and hope some day u seek the truth. [Chorus: Matt Johnson, Deven Diaz] If this is to end in fire, Then we should all burn together, Watch the flames climb high into the night, Calling out father oh, Stand by and we will, Watch the flames burn auburn on, The mountain side high.

[Verse 1: Rowlan] I'm tired of life, Tired of biting my tongue, Tired of people judging my music cause where I am from, I'm the last hope that my town can imagine, I'm the one who shine through when everyone and they momma rapping, I'm sick of artists paying these shows to shine, When they backing vocals louder then their lyrics are live, Let's get real put the mothafuckin' mic down, I love a good laugh but I'm supposed to be on right now, So see me after and I'll peep out your freestyle, But they been recorded for atleast couple weeks now? I really freestyle When I say It's off the head, So we can probably cypher but nine out of ten will end up dead, Naw, back to my city this shit is real, I swear you coming with me when I finally get a deal, I want to show my home town that it is possible, Word to this small community we see as an obstacle, I ain't impressed with how you live or how you talk, I'm focused on the lives of the crack babies we lost, This shit is sad cause my home ain't even a ghetto, But I've had guns to head and shots sang like falsetto, Say Hello to fear early, But death has always miss me, The Lord will always hug me, But the devil trying to kiss me, I'm sick of it, tired, Blast me in the mind, I bet a couple fans will miss me, But the world will be fine, So I'm gone tomorrow, I swear my heart is hollow, Cause of dike that swallow, That I refuse to follow, I'm not proud I'm ashamed of my past, But I don't regret a thing or wish that all my friends would last, I'm living proof that you can do shit alone, Just a sober lonely white boyStuck in a fucking zone, I'm on the bridge now and I'm taking off from Cape, And almost every rapper called the cops and they all claiming rape.

[Verse 1: Rowlan] I still remember the the days and the nights, I still remember the breaks and the fights, I still remember the way you would hold me tight, I still don't know what to say so I guess that I'll write, I wish the hands of time would move back, But I know they can't so I don't put on an act, I need your guidance is that a possibility, I got some stress weighing me down and it's been killing me, Your baby girl Natasha is now two, And when she ask me where is daddy I never know what to do, Whats the answer I usually don't respond, But really how can you tell a daddy's girl that he gone, I face a challenge day in and day out, Imagining that some how my future will play out, Life hard with you not around I miss you babe, I'm still wearing the ring you gave me every day, [Verse 2: Rowlan] You still remain deep inside my heart, Somewhere that I can't explain, And It's been that way from the start, Your irreplaceable nothing short of a angel, Maybe that's why god took you up and turned the tables, Salute my soldier you were taken in the field, And they never found your body because an air strike was near, I still wait for a call but it's been a year, So I shut off the line cause It keep me thinking that u here, Every time Natasha looks in my eyes, I light up like the day of our wedding cause deep inside, I see you, I see me, I see us, And what I see I believe, I'm smiling now just thinking of days, But then it comes to mind we had to go our separate ways, You went to heaven I'm still here on earth, About to give your second child a gift and I call it birth, [Verse 3: Rowlan] Jimmy junior, 8.2 pounds You smile like your daddy Junior, Daddy would be so proud, She wish they got to meet, Cause Jimmy senior loved babies, Until she heard I am proud, And she thought she went crazy , Jimmy senior the fallen soldier has spoke out loud, I'll always return I told you look where I am now, In the room where my wife gave birth to, My first son this is worth all that I been through, I was in battle and they captured and enslaved me, But seeing my beautiful family was worth the slavery, But never again will I ever leave your side, As I'm holding my little boy a tear falls from my eye, I love you junior, love you Natasha, love my wife, Love you god, love my family, love this life, I'll never again take another thing for granted, And I'm happy that I'm alive and grateful for the whole planet.

[Verse 1: Rowlan] These ideas are nightmares to all parents, Who's worst fear is a child who died there now they can't hear em', It's so scary imagining the past, Take a quick look at future planet earth will never last, We shoot em' they gon' shoot back, We nuke em' they gon' nuke back, They probably got a place that's, Manufacturing anthrax, They armed and ready we got no where to hide, There ain't no hiding from our fate so let's just try to survive, We can live on like nothing is wrong, But don't expect for me to rap and lie to people in songs, Authorities will be the death of legendary Rowlan, I just hope that I get a chance to reach peak of where I'm going, A lot of hate fills the air on planet Earth, As our blood pressures boils we forgetting what we worth, But we are the people we should tell them how it goes, Think about it for moment now just keep your eyes closed, [Chorus: Aerosmith] C'mon, sing with me, Sing for the years, Sing for the laughter, Sing for the tears, Sing it with me, Just for today, Maybe tomorrow the good Lord'll take you away...

[Verse 1: Rowlan] I'm too curious I know, But can I ask you father, What is my purpose on this earth, Why do I even bother, I'm lost and searching for a person, Who's purpose could be worthless, If in the end my story turns out disturbing, I mean I chase a dream and yeah I mean these words, But what happens if my rhymes never leave the burbs', What happens if I'm here stuck at my peak, Well that ain't your problem it's just mine, enjoy your sleep, I'll be up working on my craft, Re-Recording vocals, editing my draft, Spilling my emotions, flowing out my soul, Pondering change, analyzing earth as a whole, Maybe I can be a reason for survival, For the kid who's scared praying with his eyes closed, Maybe I can help that kid through some thoughts, That a mother don't consider and these teachers never taught, watch. [Verse 2: Rowlan] Point out my flaws, honestly I don't mind, I understand cause these flaws make me one of a kind, I understand that we all so different, And so I question Why they judging off a difference, But that's the world right and that's the way of life, They tell me fit in and maybe I'll make it over night, I don't fit in and quite Frankly I never could, so don't you tell me another thing that you think I should, Do, I got too much to prove, So many lives to touch and a generation to move, So pardon me if I forget to reply, When you shoot me out some love just know I'm busy but I try, To respond every one that's by my side, I'm so grateful every syllable I cry, For reasons I may never explain, In casual conversation so just listen and let it play, hey, [Verse 3: Rowlan] You probably judging me right, You think I think I'm black, I think I'm me, And skin tone Has nothing to do with that, So judge on bro, judge on, You can hate my life for ever but we still Rowlan strong, I gotta tell you it's been quite the trip, I met this girl karma and found out she a hah, You know beautiful woman with a kid, That'll pay you right back for everything bad that you did, But I forgive and I forget, And I just live for whatever's coming next, And I thank you, thank you For being beautiful, And please exuse me if this song is unusual, From the ordinary Rowlan that you hear, But I feel like this is me crying out without a fear, I went with this and my every thought is faithful, Thank you for your time, God bless, I'm truly grateful.

[Verse 1: Rowlan] It seems like not much stays, but everything goes And everyone we know is high, trying to balance out the lows We all search for that person Search for those friends Search for that life We all search for the trends Search for that status, look it everyone I'm cool Until you graduate and see know one from school This life is setup much different then the movies You live your life trying to reach something great, groovy You live life with all intentions to get filthy rich But only 2 percent will man this lives an uh Life is not about a dollar, my life has always been about a dream They tell me Rowlan you should be a scholar But I know a flashy title ain't all that it seems [Chorus: Rowlan, Deven Diaz] So won't ya stay with me (So won't you) So Won't ya stay with me (Stay with me) So won't ya stay with me (Because you're) And please don't ever leave (All I need) So won't ya stay with me (So won't you) So Won't ya stay with me (Stay with me) So won't ya stay with me (Because you're) And please just don't ever leave (All I need) 2x [Verse 2: Rowlan] Please stay, please stay I swear everyone I love goes away The earth take em' and change em' to a new person So now, I'm lonely truth be told Yeah I'm really hurting The honesty leaves with the truth The war with innocence lost all its troops The world I slowly learned to love is crooked I fought the devil For my youth, I wish he never took it So now I'm here stuck alone Bleeding my pain through another poem I'll probably never be the same again I miss the Tommy I was at the age of ten But time goes and we learn our lessons We get judged from our classrooms, to our confessions We send another friend to heaven, I swear we miss ya I'll hug your momma for you bro, I swear I got ya sisters [Chorus: Rowlan, Deven Diaz] So won't ya stay with me (So won't you) So Won't ya stay with me (Stay with me) So won't ya stay with me (Because you're) And please don't ever leave (All I need) So won't ya stay with me (So won't you) So Won't ya stay with me (Stay with me) So won't ya stay with me (Because you're) And please just don't ever leave (All I need) 2x [Bridge-Out: Deven Diaz] So won't you stay with me So won't you stay with me So won't you stay with me And just don't ever leave Just don't ever leave So won't you stay with me So won't you stay with me So won't you stay with me And just don't ever leave Just don't ever leave, Oh Edit the description to add: Historical context: Historical context.
