DOWN WE GO
New School straight fire from fresh outta the gate
And if you ain’t with me then get outta the way
You had your shot but the net’s outta your range
Now the ball’s in my court I’m the best at the game
Pen hit’s the pad
Every word’s a moving target
Flow’s cold and wild
Monkeys in the arctic
My mind’s a trip and everyone’s embarking
My tongue’s a whip and music’s where I park it
I’m delivering rhymes
That slither inside
The edge of your mind
And shiver your spine
Until you unwind
Like you just drank wine out the bottle
While laying on the carpet
I’m stealing y’all shine like I am darkness
I live in my songs, home’s where the heart is
Which means these rappers’ homes been departed
In other words the rap game is heartless
But I’m just getting started
Down down we go
Falling deep inside my brain
All these feelings flow
’Til I start to float away
Baby we both know
That tonight we’re letting go
Nobody knows if we will see tomorrow day
New School
Reppin’ New York
That’s the state
I-Town baby, is my town today
Cali
Hawaii
I’m down to play
Colorado is the cake that we light up and bake
With my music who’d have guessed I’d ever get so far
I was made for y’all to hear this like how headphones are
My new shit’s fucking crazy and it hits so hard
It’ll have you making no sense like the Flinstones car
Wow
Do I really gotta tell your ass?
You can’t hide when my lyrics red shell your ass
If you ain’t catch that lie detector says that you’re not a nerd
You’re Rob Parker? Lie detector says you are a herb
So who’s the cornball? Is it worth it to lose your job?
You’re so corny you’re probably more concerned with losing cob
Old news but I’m tired of the race shit
So my head stays in the clouds
Where’s my space ship?
Down down we go
Falling deep inside my brain
All these feelings flow
’Til I start to float away
Baby we both know
That tonight we’re letting go
Nobody knows if we will see tomorrow day

Ain't No Hold Up

AIN’T NO HOLD UP
Ain’t no hold up
Ain’t no hold up
What do you mean it ain’t no hold up?
Ain’t no hold up
Ain’t no hold up
Man this ain’t no fucking show man
Ain’t no hold up
Ain’t no hold up
What do you mean it ain’t no hold up?
Ain’t no hold up
Ain’t no hold up
Ain’t no hold up
Doing what we want until we say it’s over
So
Shake
Shake
Shake it mama
Like you’re blowing up some vinegar and baking soda
We on a roll and ain’t nobody stopping us now
They know us where we go at every spot in this town
If you’re lighting up be careful they ain’t locking you down
For puffing chronic, while Zimmerman’s still walking around
It’s a sick world we live in these days
Sometimes I look around and wonder will we change
Or annihilate each other in the most obscene ways
’Til shows over and the earth is like a empty stage
’Til that day music is my life
I’ll stop the day Seth Rogan gives Bieber a high five
And rappers all decide that Bill O’Reilly’s a nice guy
I’ma hit the ground running like the end of a sky dive
Oh
Ain’t nobody stopping us now
Oh
Ain’t nobody stopping us
Stopping us
Stopping us
Stopping us now
Hold up
Wait, no, ain’t no hold up
Shout out to rappers killing it from Drake to Hova
Now
Don't
Stop
Shakin' mama like you’re ‘bout to make a mess out of your favorite soda
Gym Class Heroes?
I am that guitarist
"Isn’t he from that band?"
"He’s that black guitarist"
But the fans say I’m just a bad-ass guitarist
And now New School’s your favorite fucking rapping artist
But don’t get it twisted though
I’ve got a rock album already ready for y’all
I can’t be pigeon-holed
My moment
I prayed for this one
This beat?
Y’all better go ape for this one
Shout out to the UK for this one
Bump this shit out your favorite system
Dive off the stage for this one
And I gotta thank Ye and Sway for this one
Oh
Ain’t nobody stopping us now
Oh
Ain’t nobody stopping us
Stopping us
Stopping us
Stopping us now
New School

CAN’T CONTAIN ME
Who’s ready for lift off?
Y’all really ain’t ready for a rhythm that’s this hot
They wonderin’
Is he rock n’ roll?
Is he hip hop?
They puzzled that the pieces fit together like jigsaws
But isn’t everybody fucking tired of this box?
They tell you think outside of it then they flip flop
Yeah
We ready for that New School mindset
No more listening to it’s not time yet
And you lived there so long it’s kind of strange now you’re gone
I found guitar
Players gon’ play
Rocked it hard
But haters gon’ hate
High school was "Sashi’s not black enough"
"He skateboards and doesn’t listen to rap enough"
Fucking poseurs
That shit had me mad as fuck
And as if that shit wasn’t wack enough
Gym Class blew up then they couldn’t take it back enough
“Oh I love how you mix rock with rap and stuff”
‘Cause I stayed true to me I’m never backin’ up
Tryna fit in that mold haven’t you had enough?
Yeah we ready for that New School mindset
No more listening to it’s not time yet
And you lived there so long it’s kind of strange now you’re gone
Yeah we ready for that New School mindset
No more listening to it’s not time yet
And you lived there so long it’s kind of strange now you’re gone
You can try to play me
Can’t contain me
Try to play me
Can’t contain me
Try to play me
Can’t contain me
Try to play me
Can’t contain me
We won’t be defined
We live outside the lines
You can try to play me
Can’t contain me
Try to play me
Can’t contain me
Seek but you won’t find
An edge that is defined
They can try to play me
Can't contain me
Try to play me
Can’t contain me
Try to play me
Can’t contain me
Try to play me
Can’t contain me
And you lived there so long it’s kind of strange now you’re gone
Yeah we ready for that New School mindset
No more listening to it’s not time yet
And you lived there so long it’s kind of strange now you’re gone
Yeah we ready for that New School mindset
No more listening to it’s not time yet
And you lived there so long it’s kind of strange now you’re gone
Yeah we ready for that New School mindset
No more listening to it’s not time yet

3 IN THE MORNING - LYRICS
Damn
This time I feel I’m down for the count
New School
Check the clock it’s 3am
I’m laying awake again
Thought I’d count some jumping sheep
But they asses all asleep
So I start to lose my mind
All these questions that I find
Suddenly I hear a voice
Telling me I have a choice
What happened to you Sash?
Remember when you used to just sit and
Kick back, crank the music up and just listen?
Eyes closed tight, dreams of being on tour and
Traveling to Japan after sleeping on floors
In class scribbling speeches for receiving awards
The world was yours to daydream and explore
And how could you have known it all was really in store?
But lately all your dreams ain’t as deep as before, no
Now it’s fear, second guessing yourself and
Doubtin', making a mess for yourself, well
Wow is this what you expect from yourself?
You live and breathe music just to keep the shit for yourself?
Well I know ya done made up your mind
And this is who you are now most of the time
But I’m the part of you that’s barely alive
And I’m here to use your past to change your fate like a DeLorean Ride
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change
Back in college barely anyone would acknowledge
That you was gonna make it they just figured you’d fall and
Stay on the ground like a baby that’s crawling
But you stayed true to everything you hoped to accomplish
What happened to—
What happened to me?
Let me tell ya
I did pick myself up every time that I fell bruh
I did shatter the odds, my band’s elevated past
The highest heights anyone thought we’d make it at
But one thing that success don’t change
This world’s fucked up and it ain’t no game
How many would kill a man to fatten they savings?
Everywhere I turn people sad and they jaded
Music used to save me when I had to escape it
But I can’t hide no more my light is black and it’s faded
Well you know I’m always here for you and I’ll never back down
(Word)
Don’t ever waste a candle in the midst of a black out
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change
Whoa
When you’re falling you know I will be here
You know I will be here
Ah
When you’re up again you know I will be here
You always find me here
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change your mind
Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m trying to change
Keep ya head up
Keep ya head up
My mama told me keep ya head up
Always keep ya head up
Never put your head down down
Keep ya head up
Keep ya head up
Always keep ya head up
