[Chorus] Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing
 Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 Free yourself of limits, never stop so place them
 Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing
 Said that it’s a chronic intoxication
 Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop [Verse 1] This reminds me of old times, the mind is a terrible thing
 I never thought that I’d rise to be a lyrical king But yo to everyone’s surprise I’m alive and kicking
 Got a voyeuristic mind, I gotta watch what I’m thinking
My reflections are eternal, Kweli told me once in a song
It might as well have been a gift from the gods
 There’s certain lessons that I’ve taken to the grave Yo enough of it all, give me the ball, let me take it to the paint
 I don’t feel any pain, I won’t suffer defeat
 The word is on the street that you worry bout Nieve
 The world is at his feet, that one two that you had to run through
 Put you in a coma, you can’t come to
 Look at what you done to me
 Turned me from an everyday beauty to a modern day beast. Yo they call it a disease, I say it’s from the earth
so I breathe, let me be yo, you know what it be [Chorus] Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing
 Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 Free yourself of limits, never stop so place them
 Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing
 Said that it’s a chronic intoxication
 Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop [Verse 2] I’m living quicker than the grace note
 Race through the wrinkles in time
 My blurry vision keeps me blind from a beautiful mind I can’t capture any words along my way throughout these chapters
 I'm trapped behind the back page, cascades of past ways
and young thoughts, we used to have those big smiles
 We were still so many miles from a broken heart
 But nowadays we never think about the change
 we only know who we’ve became really ain’t the same. I remember all those red brick buildings on the corner
Used to stop the traffic when we held the microphone up
, although it was a phony, our cuffed hands and a tight fist
 Made believed that a microphone exist
 We would spit until the daylight dropped
 Philosophize about our day, contemplated on the way to the park The wait of the dark is easy, homie, sit and relax
 Finding light though is really the task, puff and pass. [Chorus] Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing
 Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 Free yourself of limits, never stop so place them
 Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
 The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing
 Said that it’s a chronic intoxication
 Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop [Verse 3] Yo I need a little bit more, won’t get rid of it all
 I need some so I can fly, be so high I can soar
 I do it while I record To make magic out of nothing at all
 There's eight matches until one of them fall I shake the ashes from a cigarette off
 And what’s inside it ain’t a secret Come and take a look you'll get excited when you see it Yo I write it like a mean it cause I live what I say
 One hit will get you lifted away, let’s take a different way
 From what the others in the world might choose
 If we follow all their moves, then we all might lose I’ll explore a different path in my all white shoes
 And leave tracks for some alright grooves
 I put myself out on all my tunes
 and you can feel me if you listen
 Flipping up my style, like Im changing my position I'll continue on my mission till the list complete
 Burn the bitterness of life through my Swisher Sweet.

MIdnight Baby Lyrics By Nieve, from the Album "Away With Words" Hook: Come on we going for a ride, don't be shy baby You know I'll have you home on time, by midnight maybe I put myself out on the line for the right lady I want to know if you'll be mine, mine, mine. (X2) Verse 1: Excellence is all you ever sense from my wits and charm I ain't one who ever slips or trips alarms I just keeps my calm and exudes my cool try to figure out the moves that get through to you because I, see that you busy, your memory is fizzy I ask you if you still remember me and if you miss me and if not, why do you diss me I mean the least that you could do is leave a clue, cuz you in my hand is worth more then two in the bush I got the girls who never call, and the ones who never look thank God I never took my eye off you matter of fact girl I heart you, I mean 'achoo' I do, yo I really gotta run, I mean I knew that you knew, but I sorta jumped the gun and now we through. Leave all the presents in the chimney shoot The only gift I really wanted was you. Hook: Come on we going for a ride, don't be shy baby You know I'll have you home in time, by midnight maybe I put myself out on the line for the right lady I want to know if you'll be mine, mine, mine. (X2) Verse 2: Come on lets skip the chit chat, talkin bout this - that all I see is you baby, break me off a kit-kat Just keep your cool baby, mellow out and kick back and pass the papers when you're through I'd like to hit that The smoke signs speak the weight of my mind I keep pressing on the lines of the great divine trying to catch a glimpse of the great design though I've seen it all before in your lips and thighs Hypnotized you are hypnotized take a look into my eyes and be mystified we going to a ride where you wish to fly and don't you worry about the waves, Im the 'prince of tides' Aye-curumba! what was your number it must've slipped my mind, so please pardon my slumber and please forgive me, I ain't always this rude its just whenever you're around it's like a moment of truth.

"Another Day Comes" [Intro] Don't give up, don't give up the sun is shining, keep on trying Don't give up, don't give up you will find your way as long as you don't give up (x2) [Chorus] Another day comes, yesterday’s gone 
 We all gotta find our ways to stay strong 
 Stay strong stay strong, together we’ll stay strong 
 Let’s live let’s live before another day’s gone Another day comes, yesterday’s gone 
 We all gotta find our ways to stay strong 
 Stay strong stay strong, together we’ll stay strong 
Let’s live let’s live before another day’s gone [Verse 1] Another day has started coming 
 And all the troubles in the world amount to nothing 
 Past mistakes seem so close today 
But life’s a stage and we part of the play 
So pardon the ways that I always reminisce 
From my last heart break to my very first kiss 
It’s so very hard to distance myself from then
 But, well my friends this time I begin 
 Because a new day is coming, an old day is leaving 
 I’m sick of being stuck in the past for no reason 
 Wake up, spring into a new season 
And let the summers fall like a winter’s ball 
We all gotta rise up to the call 
Life is a celebration, God like imagination 
He also loves when you work for your own 
 All of us are just notes in a beautiful song [Chorus] Another day comes, yesterday’s gone 
 We all gotta find our ways to stay strong 
 Stay strong stay strong, together we’ll stay strong 
 Let’s live let’s live before another day’s gone Another day comes, yesterday’s gone 
We all gotta find our ways to stay strong 
 Stay strong stay strong, together we’ll stay strong 
 Let’s live let’s live before another day’s gone [Verse 2] The sun is shining so bright this morning 
 Nothing’s going wrong, only right this morning 
 This is for my friends, yo I write this for them 
 They’re a part of me so I’d like to show them 
 How much they mean in my life this moment 
 They all play key vital component, and for
 Whatever reason we don’t talk as often 
Just know I never carry a grudge, it’s all love 
 Cause a new day upon us, tomorrow’s never promised 
Yesterday’s a part of the past, don’t get caught up 
Forget the worries that you thought up 
 Leave all your troubles aside, they’re far behind 
 Together we gonna take a ride on the present moment, hold it, it’s such a blessing 
 And don’t expect to answer all the questions 
 Just keep an open mind and you'll always find [Chorus] Another day comes, yesterday’s gone 
 We all gotta find our ways to stay strong 
Stay strong stay strong, together we’ll stay strong 
Let’s live let’s live before another day’s gone Another day comes, yesterday’s gone 
 We all gotta find our ways to stay strong 
 Stay strong stay strong, together we’ll stay strong 
Let’s live let’s live before another day’s gone [Outro] Im loving what my life has brought to me 
I’m feeling like these song’s are a part of me 
Something in the music’s calling me 
 To play on, play on and on and on Im loving what my life has brought to me 
 I’m feeling like these song’s are a part of me 
 Something in the music’s calling me 
 To play on, play on and on and on.
