Never let them tell you you're not good enough
I think you're good enough
You're a star
And never let them tell you you're not strong enough
I know you're strong enough
Its who you are
Who you've been
So reach out your little hands
Take a grip on the world and never let go
I'll never let you go
And you know that I'm your fan
Got a front seat ticket to watch you grow
I know you're gonna grow
So never let them tell you you've gone far enough
We've never gone far enough
'Cause we are stars
Superstars
There's only one thing in life thats gonna hold you guys back
And that is yourself
Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise
Everyone's got a superstar inside of them
Believe
'Cause you're a superstar
Yeah that's what you are
You're a legend to me
You're everything to me
You are a superstar x2
And so it seems
Its only in your dreams
But you have to believe
Its your reality
You're all I see
High above the trees
A superstar beams
Its light down on me
Yeah, you're a superstar
Yeah thats what you are
You're a legend to me
You're everything to me
You are a superstar

Good Step

When I'm walking
I got that good step
And when I'm talking
You better listen
Please don't stop me
I'm on my good step
And if you're toxic
You better exit
Good Step x4
When I'm alone
I like it safe on my own
I like to do these things just how I feel
I'm here in my home
My life is in my control
There ain't a man who can step on my heels
So leave me alone
When I am locked in my zone
You're only welcome if you know the deal
If you know the deal
You got that good step feel
Know the deal
You got that good step feel
When I'm walking
I got that good step
And when I'm talking
You better listen
Please don't stop me
I'm on my good step
And if you're toxic
You better exit
Good Step x4

Making a call, to your favorite spot
Reservations. for eight o'clock
I'll bring the cash, you bring your appetite
Let's go out, for a dinner tonight
Uh-huh
Let's go out to dinner tonight
Taking a seat, at the restaurant
Making a choice, that'll hit the spot
Avocado, swiss cheese on rye
A wonderful choice, for a dinner tonight
And I just can't wait to chow down tonight
Let's chow down tonight

(Grazioso)
You can see me in your rearview mirror
But I don't see shit
All I see is dollar signs and thats it
My flow is hella wet stayin' afloat
Flippin' through channels, got no remote
Been crunchin' up my stomach cause I'm sick of the bloat
I rock the same jeans from back when I was broke
(Bro you're still broke)
Shiiiit
How you be steppin on me
Last week you were really really reppin' on me
I'm like a luminescent image of me
A vision of my past self is all you can see
A vision of my past self is all you can see
(Robbie Rhodes)
You wanna treat me like, I'm a ghost man, yeah I'm a ghost man
She wanna treat me like, I'm an apparitional being
You wanna treat me like, I'm a ghost man, just a ghost man
She wanna treat me like, I'm just some kind of freak
(Dre Bummy)
Just a ghost of the past who made a pass at you
Now I'm feelin last cause you got a new dude
Know I could be brash but you could be my new boo
Creepin out ya house yeah starin' at you
Feelin' blue, I thought what we had was true
Me and you was like gorilla glue, what you really do?
Leave my ass for some silly dude?
Got a nigga pissed
Now I'm in a killy mood
Don't call back when this ghost got a milli
When I was living you wasn't even really seeing me
Like I got invisibility
We could be forever whenever
Only If you willin' G
Just hit the jack and I'll pull up at three
Lookin' in your rearview you thought it was me
But a vision of my past self is all you can see
Yeah, but a vision of my past self is all you can see
(Robbie Rhodes)
So when I'm on your mind
In the middle of the night
And when you think of me
and all I used to be
So don't be afraid
Of sounds in the night
You can't get rid of me
cause i'm your poltergeist x2
You wanna treat me like, I'm a ghost man, yeah I'm a ghost man
She wanna treat me like, I'm an apparitional being
You wanna treat me like, I'm a ghost man, just a ghost man
She wanna treat me like, I'm just some kind of freak

We roll in circles
We roll in pairs
All tryna make it through the night
If I go outside
And need a breath of fresh air
I'm just tryna make it through the night
So hold me
I wanna get close to you
I wanna feel
I wanna feel alive
And touch me
I wanna get to know you
I wanna dance
Wanna dance through the night
With you, yeah, only with you
We roll in circles
We roll in pairs
All tryna make it through the night
When we went outside
To get a breath of fresh air
I just wanted you to stay the night

**Ring, Ring**
"Hello?"
"Hey Robbie, this is Shanice. We met at the bar yesterday and like, I had a really good time. I was just wondering, are you up to anything today?"
"Um, no, I have plans, sorry..."
Some days I prefer to lie around in bed
Forget about all of the things the toxic people said
Count up the numbers of the books that I have read
All because I am an introverted bedhead
I'm a bedhead
(Oh he's a bedhead)
I just want to sit around
Relax all day
Don't even care what the people say
Cause I'm a bedhead
(Oh he's a bedhead)
Oh don't even ask me for plans
You know what I'll say
I've already got my plans for the day
I'll stay in bed
**Ring Ring**
"Hey this is Robbie I'm not here right now sorry I missed your call, leave a message at the beep, thanks"
B-E-D-H-E-A-D x16
"Hey Robbie, John from the office. I just noticed it was 11:30 and you're still not in yet. Just wondering if you were gonna come in at any point today Robbie. We really need you so, just give me a ring when you're able to come in alright? Thanks a lot bud."
**beep**
"Hey Robbie, this is Shanice again. Um, I don't know if you got my message yesterday, but like, I listened to your song Goth Girl and it was like so good. Like oh my god I can't believe I just met you at the bar and like, you're such a talented songwriter. Well anyways, give me a call back if you get this, and just know, I will be listening to For Sale! like every day."

Ah hah...
Yeah
You feel me baby?
I'll give my everything to you
If you give everything to me
We could be symbiotic
(All to you, if you'll be honest with me)
My hearts gone off, off through the ceiling
And I can't go on holding this feeling
(I'll give my all to you)
And we both know that we do not need it
(If you give your heart to me)
But every time I'm around you I see it
Yeah, I said its been a while
Its been a while since I saw you last smile
But I been thinkin' bout you lately now
Just thought I saw your face up in a crowd, yeah
But I ain't seen you in a minute
I said I liked you at the party and I mean it
You was blushing and I seen it
If its a game that you play, then imma beat it
Baby it is all for you
(All to you, (Black cars) if you'll be honest with me (Caviar, in dive bars))
My hearts gone off, off through the ceiling
And I can't go on holding this feeling
(I'll give my all to you (My black heart, its on Mars))
And we both know that we do not need it
(If you give your heart to me (But you are, my star))
But every time I'm around you I see it

War Crimes

Foxtrot-Alpha-Delta
This is Sgt. Rhodes calling in
We're held up behind the left ridge
We've got enemy planes up above
And machine gunners just across the hill
We're planning an all-out assault on the enemies bunker
And I need you to do one thing
Tell my baby I'm sorry, and we'll meet again someday
Foxtrot-Alpha-Delta, this is Sgt. Rhodes checking out
Well I don't need your world war two
I only want to be with you
Oh no
Is that such a war crime?
I spent my money on expensive drinks
Only caring bout what you'll think or do
But I'm not such a rich guy
Bombs, bombs, hit the deck
I go running when your bullets rip
Planes, jets flying down
You always want me when I'm not around
Can't just let me be
The tanks come rolling when you come at me
Got nowhere to run
And I'll come crawling when the battles done
Don't want to be your Vietnam
I'm Hiroshima when you drop the bomb
Its Iwo Jima when you're at my neck
I'm in the bunker taking cover for whats next- ah!
Is that such a war crime?
Uh-oh, ah-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, ah-oh
Get down!
Get down!
Run for the bunker!
Get down!
Ahhhh!

Alana

I don't wanna drink
I don't wanna drink until my liver bursts
Money is down the drain
And I don't wanna smoke
I don't wanna smoke until my lungs collapse
Withering down my brain
And I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat until my stomachs full
Grease dripping from my veins
And I don't wanna hurt
I don't wanna hurt the very one I love
Alana is her name
And so you drag me down with you
In spite of everything I do
To try and keep myself true
And so you wanna make me think
I'm only happy when I drink
You really make me feel sick
Why do you make me feel sick?
Oh why must I always think I'm the one who's sick?
Alana, Alana, oh
Take my savings from the bank, buy whatever you think
Alana, Alana, oh
Can't you see?
You and me
We'll be at peace
I don't wanna wait
I don't wait until my legs give out
Calling out your name
And I don't wanna hate
I don't wanna hate
The very girl I knew
Alana was her name
