[Hook (2x)] How could say such a thing Paint such a scene Life is full of color Wake up and Dream Things aint what they seem It’s about more than green Im all about my team Wake up and dream [Verse 1] Think bigger now, Jonz out to get the dow. Nasdaq and stock market, Rap Markus…Garvey But hardly orthodox Born to rock I reform the plot, the norm is not To aim where they thought I’d stop Through the storm and the rain All long I’ve fought Got a lot ‘fore I drop Gotta be on top, cream of the crop Rise!!! We in the high rise, livin the high lives Scrapin the clouds, you never takin’ me down Until God say So I pray a halo cover my crown, Til I lay my head down To rest I need a few hours, recoup power Who now wanna test the truth, Scour the globe Guaranteed, you’ll never find another Brand of this kinda brotha I broke the mold and every story told is so Pulitzer [Hook (2x)] [Verse 2] Wanted to be a rock star and record all day But mama say the life me need a 401k Corner office and a corporate desk So now im just another young man Trying to slave for a check Back ache and stressed Other than by break and lunch time I hate the rest Over time I found that overtime wasn’t worth it And it’s a fact Your boss…always a jerk When I finally realized He just like me Cause he just tryin to be But not what he wanted to be I decided for me that couldn’t be an option Thought to be relentless, “Said nothing can stop him” Even if you dropped him I was born to ball, take my shot front of all of ya'll Watch me bounce back game on the line Make the crowd clap And while my dreams steady coming to life You can find me losing sleep seeing something to write [Hook (2x)]

[Verse 1] Meet me half way to the destination I waited this long I aint stressing patience Let’s just pace it Aint trying to race it Time was wasted Time to face it Like a body builder I done dropped the weight Stronger than before No longer am I sore But before I soar let me climb the art From which I can never depart You know it’s just a part of me Part of me I gotta leave behind There’s a new start for me Redefine Still all I got Read between the lines But this time around I won’t read a line I’m a let my heart and my speech align Combined with a beat so unique and find Forever in a day Each time I rhyme My life’s a open book You can read my mind [Hook] We go so far away To where you are It’s where we want to be We go so far away To where you are It’s where we want to be [Verse 2] The sunset skyline Figured that it’s high time I shine My mind floating away In my heart I know the way And the darker the day I harbor the faith I figure why bother Mistakes Going happen don’t ask him When its going happen Instead just open your wings and start flapping Fly Grab the sky and alas Goodbye As the masses eye you take off and flight If you knew where I’m trying to get Worried ‘bout mileage Do you need a pilot? I do not But I could use a couple astronauts For half the plots I got But on second thought I'd rather not Defy gravity my master plot Skip the moon Inspiration I’ll be there soon Zoom [Hook]

Bienvenidos… [Verse 1] I’m on to Japanese kicks with the laces (Maybe) Strap the patent leather to the Velcro (baby) Fly on auto pilot…Haters Your light look dim looking through my aviator Marc Jacobs and such now Out of town on a plane champagne til we touch down Still in my zone, different time zone Cause the rhymes on cloud 9 Not dreaming I just woke up “Excuse mua” as I'm buttoning my pea coat up And I’m fresh off the Boeing jet Know I got and get a couple of them 0’s for checks Plus a couple comma signs Bet on a dollar sign you will never find a rhyme Connoisseur as mature in my kinda lime Im for sure the allure it’s my time to shine Round the world (4X) [Hook] The weather change under me While I watch I never change up the time on my watch Now you know (2x) How I roll (2x) Im Mr. Internation-al Mr. Internation-al(4x) [Verse 2] Peeling out in my two door four wheels foreign Jet off in flight like I'm Saab to keep touring Your can’t hack it, youngin it takes practice To be a pro at this, I travel like I’m atlas The globe spin around, I just enter town Entertain; sit a 5 star dinner down Pay the bill tell the driver to spin around Front of the restaurant Italian leather on, upper echelon Tell me what else you want Lavish life filled with luxury Shopping sprees: Luxembourg, Tuscany Reservation at the Ritz where I rest my head A pair of gourmet kicks keep my fix well fed Unpack my Louis Vuitton and go to bed Round the world (4X) [Hook] [Verse 3] Wake up call: Breakfast continental Request Eggs Benedict Concierge -- a centerfold Room service for the top floor suite Presidential -- The kind you can’t cop for cheap D&G sneaks cross Venetian streets Pompeii gone a day then I’m on to Greece [Hook] The weather change under me while I watch I never change up the time on my watch Now you know (2x) How I roll (2x) Im Mr. Internation-al Mr. Internation-al(4x) (Mr. Akapela Jonz is around the world)

[Verse 1] First things first, a brand new year Renew the drive in a brand new gear The man who steer, stand right here Peer form the giants shoulders No fear of heights, matter fact I think in flight Just a man from the left but I ink with my right To fight on the page Got a life to raise Out the gutter Me and my mother gotta light the way If it’s a dream come true, what I was born to do Is more than you could ever think or view I never think of you, whenever I think of who Can make the words make sense Cause then you know the change accrues Bend and change the rules, keep chains on fools And all the locks on doors, I changed my tools Parade around Gods green Just displaying the jewels Learn the lesson from my younger days and make new moves [Hook] Say Go When they tell you to stop nd that feeling in your heart (baby) Is all that you got Say Go When they tell you to quit, there’s much more inside they don’t know it exists Say Go Wipe the tears aside, passion re-ignited Spread your wings and fly Say Go They can’t limit your sky Say Go They can’t limit your sky Say Go [Verse 2] It’s my literature for sure that I’m perfecting Lyrically I’m living for more and my direction Forward My suggestion is stop second guessing Second to none, I’m running the one to perfection My game run and gun, my shot smith and Wesson But more Pistol Pete, official speech A squad of champeens(champions), My hooks Kareem I’m already sky high from the looks of things So ya'll can carousel through life Trying to hook the ring They say that they belong They cant relate not just a member A presidential candidate In my office counting ovals Accompanied with dollar signs Commas plus the John Hancock by the dotted line A mind such as mine is so hard to find Its brilliance defined in a diamonds shine [Hook] [Bridge] In the life of go-getters and sinners, I move. I move through the storm to calm winds Where pain and perseverance are my only friend I seek guidance from the lord, but fall short as I measure the man I am, to him. It’s not blasphemy; I strive to live a righteous life while I fight for love and peace of mind In search of wisdom, peace and equality...My family provided a foundation. As I rebuild my soul, my mind and my body no longer comprehend limitations I exceeded all expectations, not simply by living another day But because I refuse to settle for what you may think is me at my best I've learned to fail gracefully; I take the "L" but don't lose sight of where I'm trying to be. No man alive can tell me what's attainable; I decide. I pick and chose how to define my being: I am rhapsodical, uncontainable, unrestrainable My dreams aren't conceptualizations, they are destinations. As my heart palpitates this fluid called passion, far-fetched thoughts become more like actions Now fathom the thought of me finally grasping these dreams that seem so far from having I venture down the path less taken and leave all hesitation at the threshold of opportunity. It’s not luck but blessings that I be where I be, despite the fact that I’m barely legal See, my words had to be lethal; I got to fight for my people in this land of unequals where we're seen as illegal. My brain food is strange fruit; I sip on social justice while scheming on a way to take back the night that we first got enslaved. Now you've caught me in my element, I'm heaven sent for the people. I was born to do great things; I’m bound to be amazing My dreams come true, but they don't come easy. Then again, all I had to do was wake up and dream!

[Verse 1] She was light skin, pretty face Big hips, slimmer waist Appetite for destruction Couldn’t wait to get a taste Compliments she’d eat’em up, No dinner plate Physique straight each date, grew tighter Lighter spark a fire, wick burn the candle wax Tell me can you handle that, she hot as a flame Mercury rise, just say her name Raise the temperature Got to know each and every inch of her From the time I spent with her Chillin in the burbs Let her body do the talking Only said a couple words Raspy voice, its sexy crazy cool Bacardi, she partied with a crazy crew Innocent hardly the things we’d do Far from a home body, too fly for that She let her guard down, Who knew that id do that? What we had fell apart And now she aint coming back [Hook (2x)] Say hello to another goodbye I was thinking maybe we could give it a try Why ask why because you lied Fell for the same game Only one more time [Verse 2] Stuck by the look alone, what did she do to me? Something’s in her smile, something new to me I mean who is she, and where is she from? Where is she going? After what she done I hope it’s not too far, want to be where you are Rare star in my eye, not the sky And if that’s the case I’ll fly away to see half your face She got my heart moving at a faster pace But my feet won’t follow, Froze in tomorrow, you in the mirror Posed like a model, body like a bottle But back to reality, what’s your name She grabbed me by the hand She just want to dance Whispered in my ear, "baby what’s your plans" Young Latina hail from Argentina Tonight’s my last night in town, I hate to leave you [Hook] [Bridge] Say hello lo(6x) Say hello to another goodbye Say hello lo(6x) Say hello to another goodbye [Verse 3] Chocolate covered dream From a movie scene I seen On the screen but it wasn’t me playing the role But this time around I’m the star of the show Here’s how it goes from the opening credits On the wall she in front of me I know the connection It’s like nothing else I felt before Headed to the floor So that she could move her hips for me And the rest of the night well its history Starting to understand what this bliss could be In the park in the dark when she misses me She cop an attitude reply, “I aint mad at you” I just let her know that I’m just trying to have you As much as I can its nothing your man, got you Whatever you ask for, the feelings I have for I just can’t cast off, I’m ready to blast off Just take your mask off Hook (4x) I say hello she say another (goodbye) I say hello she say another (goodbye) I say hello she say another (goodbye) I say hello she say another (goodbye) I say hello she say another (goodbye) I say hello she say another (goodbye) I say hello she say another (goodbye) I was thinking maybe we could give it a try

Finale 02:56
[Verse 1] If you know it like I know it Then we all play a part Im Descartes, Martin Luther Put my thoughts on the door Often the law say the way we talking the art Rotten our hearts Its harder when we walk in the dark The archer is raw Aim away the target is far All of this for a way to pay And not to be poor An outlaw so Aint no way the law could of taught My mentality, don’t battle me I start where you stall All of this The reason I rhyme And most recently time Seeing the signs They believing we blind Open ya mind to the facts Sit back and relax They trying to front on you In front of you An actual fact Believe this I breathe it Eat it and sleep it Long as my heart thumping Im a be where the need is Follow your heart Don’t follow the leaders In a nation under God Where they outlaw Jesus [Hook] Thieves and Politicians Saints Sinners Religion Praying I’m forgiven It’s strange the way we living Thieves and Politicians Saints Sinners Religion Praying I’m forgiven It’s strange the way we living Thieves and Politicians Thieves and Politicians Thieves and Politicians Thieves and Politicians [Verse 2] Cameras everywhere in the air Sky as black as night Can’t hide from darkness Spying via satellite So I watch the news Reporters try and doctor truths Lying through their Prada suits Whose who Time to rate our decisions How we making a living And listen to what they won’t say in high definition Double talk prime time hiding the definition We stuck in prison They busy clouding our vision When the smoke clears take a drag of your cig in Signature here To administer fear The end is near but let’s keep’em distracted I know how with low brow attractions Go wild with fashion Money over passion Know that I’m masking the beast within But ignorance is bliss At least for them I purpose to profit if it means the end [Hook (2x)]
