Pied Piper | Numatik ft. James Landrum [Verse 1] Four, more juice from Marlow See our role models rock poised in purple Fertile, got money, they hurt though Be a role model, motto ‘don’t be hurtful’ An’ so you see em’, ‘picture perfect’ cut-outs See the picture’s worth it, but the perfect jus’ snuck out Like the perfect die out, or never make it home So they sell out, stuck in the middle of what they feel is work now They’re strength zapped by the work-out Work now an’ prayin’ that it gon’ work out A nine-to-five, somethin’ we analyze A tribe that come together make music an’ thrive Survive is not an option, I lie inside o’ caution Toxic ― instead o’ sippin’ lies, I sip arson A fire starter ― engulfed in my own flames In armor, see the stars burnin’, in turn I run harder! [Hook] Meteor showers in the night, burning bright ― Searching for a sign, will I find, what it is I’m searching for? Echoes in the night, of a Pied Piper ― (whoa) Searching for a sign, will I find, what it is I’m searching for, Oh, I’m searching ― [Verse 2] Before wrist watches, an’ gold rings Imagination chasing’, in forests, it was an’ old thing Kids be playing’, creating’, and keep safe Young minds realizing’ their dreams an’ just chase it Heart racing’, impossibilities possible Everything was a probable, shootin’ stars was a logical Choice ― An’ anything that you dreamed of Would never die out, ecstatic you Geeked-Up Free of heavy shackles, labels an’ moving’ backwards Attacks would keep you quiet, now running’ to start a riot You like it, an’ so you try it, you leading’ all of the fighting’ They fussing’ for you to stop ― but dreamers they keep riding’ ― They keep riding’— we keep riding— They keep riding’— we keep riding— They keep riding’— we keep riding— They fussing’ for you to stop ― but dreamers they keep riding’ ―

Paradise | Numatik ft. Andrew Kwon [Verse 1: Numatik] As a kid, I always wondered where— The automated Voice at the end of the line lived— Or why a picture seem closer in the mirrors on the side Of my dad’s red ride while he driving’— I’ve always wondered how a man so possessed By the One who created him in love, stay a titan— And’ even in the winter cold, seen snow Slow roll, ‘cause you’ll never see him fold, fruit ripens— “I’m a runner, machine gun, gunner— regime if you know what I mean, we outnumber—…” Said in a verse, worth a quick listen, If lives aren’t changed, then I’ve missed it— Whoa— I need a people to rise up, so find us We in this ‘till dawn breaks, and’ lights up— We running’ hard—going’ so fast Arriving’ at the goal, paradise at last—! [Verse 2: Andrew Kwon] I remember as a little boy I wondered what it was like, on the other side, in the paradise Now that heaven is reality, it’s no longer just a story And I just can’t wait to see Him face to face― [Hook] Come take my hand into the land of no more tears and pain We will praise eternally, worship the Lord of lords, and King of kings! [Verse 3: Numatik] Yeah—I really wonder what it’s like up in paradise I know it’s not a pair of’ dice for a better life— Not a chance! Not a random roll—for a— Wayfaring’ soul, it’s called hope, value— Put on a promise, I promise that it gon’ rock you Knowledge dropped on, like bombs It will not top truth— Memories’ll fade if you let it— Fitting’ to say, “Ay, (ay, ay, ay) don’t let Him go— Take hold, and’ don’t sweat it!” Rest— Everything will be taken care of Seek first His kingdom, and’ King apparel Apparent to the world, pearls that be living’ Shining’ like stars, worth more than a business—― Worth more than your feelings’ it’s truth on my brain— Truth in the way that I live, tell ‘em Drew— Never letting’ go of this promise He gives— (Yes suh— yes suh, uh!) [Verse 4: Andrew Kwon] And’ I’ll be dancing in the street of dreams Singing’ melodies, giving God the glory― And’ everyday that I’ve been waiting I know this day is coming, no I just can’t wait to see Him face to face [Bridge] And’ I just can’t wait, all the things that we gonna’ do (I want to fly away to where you are) Lost away in time, in you I’ll find forever― (In you I’ll find forever) [Outro] Come take my hand, (would you lead me, lead me by the hand God) Into the land of no more tears and pain (no more tears, no more suffering’) We will praise eternally (I can see it now―) Worship the Lord of lords, and King of kings! (Haha, I can’t wait―)
