I wish everybody loved me
But since it’s all for self
Help nobody but me
I’m sick of so much shit
I’m not your family
Don’t call me bro if you can’t stand me
Liars asking for truth now got it
Get expensive shit and feel retarded
There’s so much hate on my heart
Snakes in the grass everywhere
Oh my God
Don’t wanna see my face
My pace at work makes you feel unsafe
But I’m the boss
Fuck outta here man
I can’t stand waiting
You don’t like me
Stop pretending
I won’t change for nobody
Put too much effort on my dream to stop it
I’m done paying attention
I now take what’s mine
Fuck the world
I’m on a mission
Boss, Boss, Boss
Fuck you pay me
Boss, Boss, Boss
Fuck you pay me
My patience has run out
Spent years pushing for nothing
Gimme me my ounce
of recognition
My barrel of cash is somewhere for me
I’ll keep on searching
I’m broke cause of the shit I chose
Now it’s only time for me to get my dose
Shoulda kept my suitcase close
This place is so not for me
I just don’t know
My love for my daughter is unconditional
Need to move mountains just for us both
Can’t wait cause others don’t wanna do shit
Obviously no one is ready to help me get
Nothing
So I’ll be my own boss
Now don’t give me shit if I don’t give a fuck
I was there now I’m not
Do whatever you want
You lost me
Boss, Boss, Boss
Fuck you pay me
Boss, Boss, Boss
Fuck you pay me
Whatever you do won’t make a difference
It’s what you say that keeps people believing
No wonder why everything’s fucked up
You get treated like shit but they say they love ya
But you know what? I’m just not like that
Actions make you who you are
So if you got my back
You better act right
Cause if you don’t do jack but run your yap
You know damn well I might just snap
But isn’t it how real bosses really do?
Tell you to pack your shit is nothing new
You fucking yellow you
Never there for nobody
Using everybody around to make it through
Boss, Boss, Boss
Fuck you pay me
Boss, Boss, Boss
Fuck you pay me

A special thanks to DJ Nerve for this one
I was born June 9th of 77
Third of 3 boys
Eleven years after the second
The first one, Frank
Saw the light in 61
December 1st
The day my family ceased being strong
Cause my father should have never had a child
He didn't know what to do with it
Except make my mama cry
He always was jealous of his oldest one
Ever since the beginning
Love just could never come
Not accepting pride as confidence
He chose to treat him bad
Going against his accomplishments
Calling him faggot
Cause he was dressing nice
To attract women
What daddy could have never tried
He married my mom while in a deep depression
Even right after she had just lost her 2 parents
While she was weak and vulnerable
She even got beat up by a man
Who pretended being a Beatle
Don't want to think about it but I have to
I'm even scared to say
I'm terrified just thinking about the news
I'm so scared of that day (x2)
Three decades after my parents divorced
My mother still lives in the past
Having all kinds of remorse
Unable to forget though under strong medication
There's not much she can do by herself
So I'm there compensating
From cleaning to grocery shopping
But I never really feel any type of satisfaction
Of being able to afford for my mom is my wish
All the luxuries in the world she has never gotten
Take her on a trip to Miami
And see palm trees, blue sea
And just feel the heat
Having a drink at the beach
Shouldn't be that big of a dream
For the woman that for me is a queen
One of the few that loves me no matter what
Smiling with her eyes just to see me show up
I'm scared of that day that I see her disappear
Without having chased any of her worst nightmares
Don't want to think about it but I have to
I'm even scared to say
I'm terrified just thinking about the news
I'm so scared of that day (x2)

Visiting Love
03:32
|
|||
To me he was Visiting Love (X4)
I was a young kid when mom got first sick
Of an outsider I got the visit
That gave me so much courage
I forgot what he was in for
To me he was my real father
Treated me like his own blood
Never took advantage of a young buck
Could write tens of pages to enumerate
What he did for a family to ressuscitate
A state of dignity that was blown away
With comedy
Today laughters still make my day
Never got to live with my dad
But I think this man saved my life
I remember him working at this drugstore
As a handyman where we lived just next door
Each and every week after his last shift
He'd bring back Hot Wheels for me to play with
To me he was Visiting Love (X6)
I didn't get the chance to be around him very long
Cause when my mom got out the hospital
She asked to get me so
I went back with her
We kept visiting him
Cause he loved being around us
So he kept coming for a while
Where was his wife?
Things seemed to be complicated on his side
He asked my mom how things were for her
If she was willing to move on with him forever
She then politely declined adding
She loved him very much but was scared of ruining
A great relationship
I don't know why she said it
But most importantly
She didn't know that she would regret it
He came back saying 'Buy my cottage for one cent'
But then again mom said it didn't make sense
I guess he took it as a rejection
Cause the next time we heard of him
He was inexistent
He had killed himself
Suicide my friend
They found him dead
Laying on the floor of his kitchen
What would my life be if the end was different
I'd be visiting love for my adoptive parent
For him I'd be Visiting Love (repeated until the end)
Miss you man
Now rest in peace

I Had To Go
03:12
|
|||
No one ever understood the man
And I’m afraid nothing never really happened
It might have been a dream
I had to go see by myself what they say about heaven
Cause it seemed like nobody really cared for me
Whatever decision I made
I was criticized for it
But the thing that topped it off is when I lost the kid
I spent years being cheated on
Lied to so often I had no idea what I depended on
I had found true love in a child that needed help
When I became a dad learning how to step
Everything then felt so sweet and so perfect
I was finally rightfully respected
Teaching a son everything he needs to know to start in life
Made me forget about all the problems around alright
A wife saying things that didn’t make sense at all
Wasn’t hurting as much as a few weeks before
I had to go. I had to go
I had to go
I had to go. I had to go
I had to go
Perhaps I should have trusted people just a whole lot less
To protect myself form being so much depressed
Life got real dark when the lady got out the hospital
No papers were signed, she had the right to take him home
I tried my best to get the 2 to stay with me
But a man had already entered the story
Being around them all the time felt like it saved me
Deep inside I was drifting away from reality
I went fishing everyday that season
Thinking about what could possibly be the solution
Totally wasted one night I offered what I had saved my whole life
A place to stay on a private lake
Please stay one more night
But I was declined my only chance to stay in the picture
That’s when I knew I was gonna need a mixture
Leave everyone alone and the weight of my presence
Became a vague memory in the distance
I had to go. I had to go
I had to go
I had to go. I had to go
I had to go

Say Somethin'
03:25
|
|||
Two people who helped save my life killed themselves
Leaving questions floating that will never be answered
Why did you have to decide for all the others
I'm one of them that today still suffers
I don't know if I understand or if I'm frustrated
One thing for sure now it's all over
No more sharing history in the future
Everything is part of the past
No one will get to know ya
Like I knew you
What a shame
An odor I can't
Now It's always time to fold up
When we should be reminding ourselves
About the so good
Days of old
When everything was so cool
Say something when you're suicidal
You destroy so much when you decide to go through
The pain remains long after you're gone
Breaking all the hearts you touched all along
Say something when you're suicidal
You destroy so much when you decide to go through
The pain remains long after you're gone
Breaking all the hearts you touched all along
It looks like depression does its job
Takin' away loved ones like a fraud
Everything you gained gets lost real fast
The safety you felt at some point gets smashed
You wanting to free people all around
Happens to be a brick wall and the sound is horrible
I thought you were unbreakable
You laughters in my memory are despicable
Unexplainable reaction from your part
I hope you're better now where you are
Cause here is nothing like before your start
Life is always cold October to March
Say something when you're suicidal
You destroy so much when you decide to go through
The pain remains long after you're gone
Breaking all the hearts you touched all along
Say something when you're suicidal
You destroy so much when you decide to go through
The pain remains long after you're gone
Breaking all the hearts you touched all along

NYC

Nothing makes me feel like going to New York City
When on vacation
Dream of crossing the Tappan Zee
Rolling southbound on the BQE
Looking at the crazy Manhattan skyline from the East
I love the feel of being about to spend some time on the greatest island
Can't never wait for a meal that of course is gonna be italian
Mulberry Street
Taste the best pizzas
Spaghetti sauces
Everything you need boss
You're in NYC
The best of all cities
NYC
The city of big dreams
A walk on the Brooklyn Bridge
To admire the East River
So hot you'd need a fridge
But it can't be any cooler
Take the time to walk slowly to witness the architecture
Everything is a scenery
Everybody's taking pictures
Wall Street, Battery Park City and then Tribeca
High line is waiting for me
In the Meat packing District
Always have an eye on the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings
Even though next to me is the Hudson River
Take a bite in Hell's Kitchen
And chill out at Bryant Park
Ladies in need of friction
Please don't make me start
The city of Peter Venkman
Everywhere is art
Even if you stayed a thousand years
You will always miss a part
You're in NYC
The best of all cities
NYC
The city of big dreams
Columbus Circle is on Central Park West
You know why I'm saying this if you love A Tribe Called Quest
Heading north towards the famous Dakota Building
Where John Lennon was shot
Make a right in Strawberry Fields
Cross the Bow Bridge
Enjoy the sight around the lake
The Belvedere Castle's only one mile away
Get to the extraordinary Museum of Natural History
If it's rainy it's probably the best you'll ever get to see
But never miss the chance to go to the Yankee Stadium
Where the best franchise in the world plays baseball every summer
Spend some time around it
Especially before game time
Kids play in parking lots
If you don't it's almost a crime
You're in NYC
The best of all cities
NYC
The city of big dreams
Of course there's no way you can do all you want in one stay
There's so much to do like just walking down Broadway
The beach of Coney Island
Scent of BBQs in Harlem
Not to mention the magical Madison Square Garden
Rangers, Knicks, Yankees, Mets
Giants, Jets, Islanders, Nets
Times Square at night where the lights are so bright
You might think it's day time
And get lost and all these heights
Staten Island Ferry for the Statue of Liberty
The best view of Lower Manhattan
Believe me
Flatiron, Chinatown, Washington Square
In a famous yellow cab or in one metro fare
You're in NYC
The best of all cities
NYC
The city of big dreams
You're in NYC
The best of all cities
NYC
The city of big dreams

A simple argument changed a lifetime
One minute before I made my decision
Everything seemed sublime
The perfect situation
A dream so intense I could feel sentiments
I thought never existed til I felt 'em
I planned my escape while she was showering
While I was watching the 2004 World Hockey Championship
Canada's yellow jersey looked horrible
I wasn't following the game
Thinking 'bout making my way out untraceable
Called a cab right after she left for work
Then picked up all my clothes in the closet from the hangers
Packed my suitcase fast then took 300 dollars in her wallet
Hidden in a cushion in case something bad happened
All I had in mind was leave before it was too late
I had things to take care of back home
Let's say they weren't too safe
I remember the ride talking to the taxi driver
Thinking I shoulda went back up and forget what I was doing
Cause we lived on the 10th floor of a building in Virginia
And downstairs I hesitated before closing the door
But when it locked up on me I had no choice but to move on with my plan
Though I was already having regrets
I got scared of what was coming
She was gonna graduate from GW
But the future didn't look so great
We were gonna move to her parents in Philadelphia
I was going bankrupt and I had no legal papers on myself
I thought I was gonna leave for a while and fix things up
And later come back with my green card from the north
I still wonder why I didn't say a word back then
About what the fuck was really going on in my head
I guess it was too much for me to handle at the moment
I chose to make the mistake of totally remaining silent
All I remember is seeing the Washington Monument
Thinking I might never ever be able to see it again
That's when what I was doing really hit me
Cause then I can only recall being in New York City
The level of stress inside of me was insane
I thought I was just never gonna make it back with my whole brain
When my brother picked me up at the bus stop in Montreal
He told me Lauren was mad and had been already calling
It was like what 6 or 7 am
And she kept leaving messages asking where was her boyfriend
He was lost as much as she was pissed off

Tolerate

Easy one shot
Bring it one shot
Do it one shot
I guess we all can say life is hard enough like this
We don't need to be hurt for nothing
Rethink
I think we only need to be heard
My ink is indelible
My dreams are terrible nightmares
I'm capable of a few great things
Like listening and giving hope
Wrestling with my thoughts and
Swing with a sing what's so negative
Right there outside the ring
I'm trying to move on and the best I can
Motivation just ain't always there my friend
Forgive myself for the people I offended
And help is not easy for me to demand
It makes me feel like I'm losing it
I may be wrong but that's how I'm feeling it
I'm digging deep in my head for solutions
By myself I'll make it
Cause failure is something I can't tolerate
How much can one take?
Now disintegrate stress go away
You just cannot wait
That's the only way
You can't tolerate
That energy ain't
That good for your brain
Release all your hate
Make peace with your main
Source of that great force
Lift that weight off
Your fate is to make it
Right there through that gate
Where there is only love
Regrets can eat you inside out
You have to forget and give up the bouts you can't win
You didn't kill anybody but still
You're there laying down hoping she ain't getting ill
You will go through this challenge
You don't have a choice, understand
Life goes on and you can't stir the same shit over and over
Now get over it
Take care of yourself and finally live the new life
Enjoy your love and the growth of your child
Get healthy and live your passions
Get crazy but only for the good reasons
See positivity everywhere around you
Now will help you go through basically anything
Focus on that
Be the king of your mind
And bring spring on your side to your sight
You have the right to let bright lights in your eyes
Don't criticize yourself so much
No one is perfect
Don't make it so rough
Plus it's useless
Who cares if you're making mistakes
Who doesn't?
So give yourself that break
You're a great person with clever intentions
Don't tolerate shit
Stand up and walk ahead straight
How much can one take?
Now disintegrate stress go away
You just cannot wait
That's the only way
You can't tolerate
That energy ain't
That good for your brain
Release all your hate
Make peace with your main
Source of that great force
Lift that weight off
Your fate is to make it
Right there through that gate
Where there is only love
Release all your hate (whispers until the end)

You’re entering the zone of Zach & Olivia
For a long while I thought it was over
And I was gonna live by myself forever
Say goodbye to my hometown and never come back
Spend the rest of life exploring a new track
I had failed for so long
I needed to whack the old me
That lacked so much energy
I was dreaming of Brazil and its never ending beaches
Summertime that last a whole year
Welcoming wet kisses
When I walked by the most extraordinary person
I knew for a while that smiled at me through her vision
I must’ve felt some sort of connection
Cause I trashed all of my plans
And opened the door to a new beginning
You’re entering the zone of Zach & Olivia
In the spring of 2012 my girl became pregnant
We gave the foetus a name and told our mothers
Zach was gonna be here just the next winter
The ever free kid was gonna become a father figure
But life is always full of surprises
As you can guess
My son chose a different dimension to get some rest
We fled the sorrow on a quick vacation
And did what we had to do to correct the situation
You’re entering the zone of Zach & Olivia
April 6 2013 is the day everything slowed down
And made our lives make sense
Showing the direction to an intense feeling of adoration
Olivia Brooklyn Daigle was born to the happiest parents
Her elegance brought us to tears
We could finally comprehend the word fears
A dense relief, satisfaction
The key to an ever ending growth
Unconditional love made its way to our small circle
You're entering the zone of Zach & Olivia
