I saw myself in a picture with you At first didn't know your name Or if you'd speak to me But I can't watch you leave so tell me How are you doing How was your day What do you think about when you dream on your morning drive I'm honored to know you Cultivate and grow you Learn from and mold you I know you Cus I saw myself in a picture with you And your favorite drink My old blue shirt Our own unique Just be still and take a look into the camera Snapshots of a brand new chapter At first didn't know the levels At first didn't know your dreams Never took that time to talk But now's the forever right before my feet How are you doing How was your day What do you think about when you dream on your morning drive I'm honored to know you Cultivate and grow you Learn from and mold you I owe you Cus I saw my self in a picture with you And your favorite drink My old blue shirt Our own unique Just be still and take a look into the camera Snapshots of a brand new chapter

This seems too familiar seems good guess we gotta roll with it (Do it again) A questionnaire from friends on why we did it cant explain it just live it (Do it again) I'll run back to you, Safehouse slight cuddles on the couch (Do it again) And you be knowing what I'm 'bout so I guess we get it in to get it out (Do it again) This seems too familiar seems good guess we gotta roll with it (Do it again) A questionnaire from friends on why we did it cant explain it just live it (Do it again) I'll run back to you, Safehouse slight cuddles on the couch (Do it again) And you be knowing what I'm 'bout so I guess we get it in to get it out (Do it again)

Security Ave 05:41
You say you want security But not to put walls up You tell me you want more of me But I should want more us You want to get the best of me But I don't You wanna get the best of me But I don't know that recipe I guess we have to wait and see We're rolling on Security ave The more I get, I give to you We're rolling on Security ave The more we get, we give So when we end this road we'll roll together Lone starry knight Armour spectacular Tried to guard my heart so much that I might need to crack the code and feelings unload Once we get the green light on security ave Right when it don't seem right But that's all gold, Gucci, and gravy Caddy like parade boat floating through all the ladies just to get to you Let's extend the crew Ima scoop you round 8 and we can go on a cruise Security ave The more I get, I give to you We're rolling on Security ave The more we get, we give So when we end this road we'll roll together

Seven pounds And nine ounces You bring me joy I’m a proud papa Seven pounds And nine ounces A family In the snapshot of love What’s it mean to give your all What does it mean to take the fall for you What’s it mean to play the game For somebody else Seven pounds And nine ounces You bring me joy I'm a proud papa Seven pounds And nine ounces A family In the snapshot of love What’s it mean to give your all What does it mean to take the fall for you What’s it mean to play the game For somebody else

Cloud Level 02:07
Open your mind, open your eyes then You can see the game with no disguise Cock back steez on a mosh-pit beat Some tools to keep you grooving as you move about the street Thought that we were done and then we oozed out one of these We're 20 plus, so add in the _____ (green) Subtract the problems that we face Learning from what we see this life is not a game Journey to be the cream and rise above the lames Rubik's cube a team and take over any lane (then) We keep the game tip-top Posting pictures of us cooling in Bermuda prolly wearing flip flops It's not an option spread the knowledge over rim shots More concerned with visiting the past than a rim shop And free your mind without the baggies in a ziplock Hold your horses, bandwagon making pit stops In a text message what the lick gone read Hope it calls for copying rockables the click might need but slow up Most of my peers get poured up full of lean It seems self esteem ain't low enough so we bling Credit schemes All of these to get a piece of the dream Lost your drive and your soul Aiming at the wrong goals Placing worth in your clothes Or the lady you chose Losing all of yourself, now the games exposed

Pearl 02:59
I was in a dark landscape with no limits or boundaries Electric blue lights danced everywhere Some defined, some dispersed Out of these lights, it materialized I met the blue dolphin It was made of pure energy A structure of perfect diamonds A divine lattice Reflective traits, all bands of light Was it my soul? Or was it God? It made me cry I knew it wanted the best for me I had to ask permission It let me get closer I felt the blue light The rays touched me And I was healed

about

We carry within our own inner world and unique experience certain talents and expressions that lay dormant, like a Rose of Jericho, and when circumstances in your life manifest, these things blossom. It is effortless and natural, and leaves echos of that time. That is Cru.

We all return to the dirt, eventually returning to the center of the earth where we are born into fire, the beginning of the ascension. We are belched into pitch black depths, spinning with only a vague sense of direction until we reach a set of bridges that securely pass us through our journey from point to point. Along the way, we collect and disperse energetic weight, transmuted through space and time. When we achieve harmony, we float amongst the clouds, a calm before a final swirling portal takes us to our final stage, a place of infinitely reflected light. This is the end and the beginning.
