Solo: I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change, I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?

Solo: Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember The people we used to be... It's even harder to picture HARMONY: That you're not here next to me

Small group: You say it's too late to make it But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted HARMONY: All of our bridges burned down

All/HARMONY: I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now I'm paralyzed All: Still stuck in that time when we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise...

All: I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change, I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?

Payphone Rap Hansen Stanza 1:

I stumble around school not looking for you You apologize but I know it isn’t true I remember those nights in the studio Hearing your voice on the radio Those were the best days…

DePrenger Stanza 2:

You acted like everything was alright I knew you were lying so I cried all night Felt so dizzy I hit the ground The world was spinning round and round

Lucas Stanza 3:

Without you life is so hard I saw your picture in my locker It broke my heart So I ripped it apart My strength came back today I focus on my studies in every single way

Benton Stanza 4:

You were so cool You were so smart Now that we’re over you broke my heart I’m trying to tell you how I feel Can’t we just have a new start? Is it too late?

I'm not afraid to take a stand Everybody come take my hand We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just let you know that, you're not alone Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road

(Intro)

Yeah, It's been a ride... I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one Now some of you might still be in that place If you're trying to get out, just follow me I'll get you there

(Verse 1)

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing mayhem When I say 'em or do something I do it, I don't give a ***** What you think, I'm doing this for me, so *** the world Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if a thing's stopping me I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony No if ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still *** Whether he's on salary, paid hourly Until he bows out *************************** Whichever comes first, for better or worse He's married to the game, like a ***** for christmas His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge ************************************************ (Hook)

(Verse 2) Ok quit playin' with the scissors and ***, and cut the crap I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap You said you was king, you lied through your teeth For that *** your fillings, instead of getting crowned you're *************** And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back 5

I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact Let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was "ehhhh" Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground

Relax, I ain't going back to that now All I'm tryna say is get back, *********** Cause I ain't playin' around There's a game called circle and I don't know how I'm way too up to back down But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't This *** black cloud still follow's me around But it's time to exercise these demons These **** are doing jumping jacks now!

(Hook)

(Bridge)

And I just can't keep living this way So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage I'm standing up, Imma face my demons I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground I've had enough, now I'm so fed up Time to put my life back together right now

(Verse 3)

It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through And don't even realize what you did, believe me you I been through the ringer, but they can do ******************* I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead No more **********, no more drama from now on, I promise To focus soley on handling my responsibilities as a father So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it You couldn't lift a single shingle on it Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club 6

Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and

RAP 1 (Hansen) We all have different problems They evoke different emotions: Feeling angry, depressed Like I can’t get up in the morning This anger is buildin’ up in me This sickness is weighin’ down on me I can’t stand this anymore My parents aren’t together no more Nothing impresses me it just depresses me I’m picking a road to go down my life stretches before me

RAP 2 (DePrenger) Every choice I make has an impact I see a fork in the road Do I take the easy way or do I take the hard one I don’t know left from right I don’t know right from wrong Me and my friends fighting Do I give in or do I stand up for what is right A person in my family dying When I’m with them I feel like I’m in a field of sleeping flowers In a state of dreaming, I’ve got a hole inside of me When I feel down I try to find the stars I look up and there they are

RAP 3 (Lucas) As for my day to day life I hear rumors floating around me wondering if they are about me These bullies that are talking disgust me That’s the only time I’m mentioned otherwise I’m invisible Trapped in a hole how do I get out of here The water is rising I’m holding my breath until it’s over But I know how to swim so I can escalate out of this lonely forlorn place I’m not sinking I’m rising up and out 10

My strength lifts me up

Rap 4 (Benton) I’m finding people who respect me For who I am, friends who support me Friends who care, who don’t back down They help me with my problems I pity the foo’ who bullies me If you’re the fool listen to me now I want you to stop starting now Clouds are lifting stars are shining I think I see a silver lining The walls are expanding, the roof is lifting The path opens up before me, I’m rising up, I see myself floating away to see the problems and how they escape but I’m still here checking for another way I need a sensei I’m breaking out, I’ve had enough Of these lies Can you see the pain in my eyes It might look like I’m falling but I’m really flying Seymour is rapping so deal with it.
