Untitled Song
Lyrics by XJ Hall.
Performed by XJ Hall.

verse 1
I just want to let out and lash out
just let my feelings crash out
blow my enemies away and
know the day that I can shout
My warcry won't be denied 
when I let out what's inside,
can I be free without people telling me
what to do all the time?
But I'm controlled by fear,
no emotions been so near
my heart 
can't stop beating
cause fear is bleading
from the depths of my soul
I couldn't control myself
or anybody else,
in my way,
crushing the ground beneath my feet of fury
running past chaos towards the light of day
But I'll always have that past,
and I'll always have it's curse
I'm afraid to move forward with life
without putting the gears back in reverse
I gotta break the shackles of fear
and undo what life has done so long,
There is nothing to fear but fear
but even fear itself is gone

chorus
When I look in the mirror 
Imagine where I'll be
Will I still be shackled up?
Or will I be free?

Now I don't want to fall down again
Cause my past is like a hole
But dear father please lift me up
So I can stand and let it
-go.

and be FREE

verse 2
Success
I'm stackin it
Cause I'm trying like immaculate
sis-ters
I'm perfect cause I learned it
from my burns and and past blisters
Aint Catholic but none-the-less I mastered it
-the word
A little hazardous, but crappy hits,
aint having it
-heard?
I'm building port-folio
that will only grow
stronger-better-faster with time.
Getting faster at
these beats in fact
I can't relax
my rhyme
Getting longer raps
but it's never wrapped
always space to expand
and find
a new horizon
enlightenment
and signs

Yesterday
was just the past
figment, idea, it was just imagined
but still a thread of my daily fabric
so palpable, it matters
It's physical, within my brain
I can't let go of what remains
even though I'm not the same
I seem to move to a better place
I can't forget what's made me
I'll always have a past
like the layers of a masterpiece
has made me who I am
I gotta break the shackles of fear
and undo what life has done so long
there is nothing to fear but fear
but even fear itself is gone

chorus
If you see yourself in ten years
Imagine where you'll be
Will you still be shackled in chains?
Or will you be free?

Now I can't fall with you
Cause your past is like a hole
But I'll be there to lift you up
To help you stand and let it
-go

so be FREE

You and I

You and I
Lyrics by XJ Hall.

verse 1 (performed by XJ Hall)
when ever i need you with me
i know you're always by my side
will we ever be free of eachother?
can't hide a past that makes us bind
but it's okay to see
cause we're going to places we can fly
building empires in my mind
you and i

chorus (enter vocalist / singer)
whatever life shows us, whatever we dream,
will always stay within my mind
where the wind blows, where ever we go,
i already know, it's you and i

refrain
uuoooaohh

i'm going back to chitown
it's as easy as could ever be
and when i leave on the line
and i'm bringing all them home with me
fall in the big city
scraping up against the sky
it will be just like old times
you and i

v3 (xj)
yo
i'm going home again but it's not the same can't ever replace this
can we ever go home again without feeling friends and picking up faces?
time can mend the past but remember it lasts forever within our minds
wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't die by the things that have always kept us alive?
my heart belongs in that city, my soul belongs to you
and i'll take a strong part of that with me, cause i know that we're one in of two
they say it's a windy place, well we must have blown out of the sky
flying kites by the lake in the summer time
whatever the take it's (you and i)

ch (singer / vocalist)
whatever life shows us, whatever we dream,

Lyrics by XJ Hall.

verse 1
man, i'm fried
i'm sick and i'm tired
i applied online
but i'm not getting hired
i applied my mind
but i'm just getting fired
now what does that say...?
i'm too dope to be trying
i lose hope and i cry
why god oh god why
what the hell does this have to do with the bible?
this aint for the frightful
i'm on a mother fucking tight rope
but i'd rather take the chance and dance
freelance while i'm not that spiteful
can't rely though on societal means
to fulfill and achieve my dreams
what the hell is a dream when it's somebody else's?
all these dreams came off a shelf
a factory pumping out the lines
selfless thoughts and mindless minds
propaganda tube controls the views
but if it's up to me i'd rather choose

bridge
keep me doing the things i do for you
i'm on a roll i'm on a roll
cause if you keep a man with a plan locked in a room
you're in control you're in control
and i aint freakin having that

chorus

Fall

Fall
Lyrics by XJ Hall.

i wanted to save this thought for rain
but it is unlikely i will write again
these clouds through this window jack makes his grin
and i remember when i was ten

each day each dawn brings faith to fall
as my shadow grows taller
the grasshopper dies off
remember each day, take it in a chill breath
as the sunset flies
here's to life
here's to fall

art is made from elaborate plan
the blueprints to wright, the dna strand
it all takes time that i don't have
so lock up my thoughts in a black tin can

each day each dawn brings faith to fall
as my shadow grows taller
the grasshopper dies off
remember each day, take it in a chill breath
as the sunset flies
here's to life
here's to fall

Moving Forward

Moving Forward
Lyrics by XJ Hall.

please sit back just relax bout to pop this beat and chill
now feel this rhythm moving your bones do you see the colors do you hear that tone?
i'm a scorpio with a tail so prone to attack my colors green and black
my blood pumps gold once it's spilled on the floor
i can never ever let go of my past
never let go of love everlasting
i can put up without love and fasting
my purpose lies hidden under everyday faces
to uncover the truth and hatred
go back to the place where harmony and rythm take my soul
i'm moving forward to the future
but what i got now, i can never let go
