(Verse 1) (Awwwww YEAH!) This is a story about a man named James Vicious and ambitious who didn't play any games Built his logs up/no propane and lit his flame So if he lost-he was the only one to blame -Now on the other hand/here goes Marty Always strolling in tardy/huge parties Jell-O shots of Bacardi Party's with girls sahris/from Delhi to the safari Living life to the max/cus only losers lived sorry -Now Jimmy wanted to be one of the bosses Spent 80 hours at work/slaving working on new projects Succeed at all cost/was his creed over his family's needs/neglected They just had to cut their losses -Marty only lost sleep in consciousness And money/cus he lacked financial common sense Phony friends/attracted to green and confidence Stale compliments/just for his accomplishments (Chorus) So relax/and sip slow (sip slow) Life is to fast/it'll be gone before you know So take it piece by piece/one day at a time Please be kind/because there's no rewinds (Verse 2) (Awwwww YEAH!) This is a story about a man named James Vicious and ambitious who didn't play any games And on the other hand here we have Marty/who always parties Who know two men so different could act the same -See little Jimmy wanted money to the ceiling/swimming in millions The big dogs made it so appealing He had no hope from being broke/thought money'd change his feelings But it won't buy happiness/ask Robin Williams Seeing America we believe this hoax cus/we lose focus We think we're smart/ we're being fooled for jokers Green back stacks/live happy That's not my approach/when we die it's just more food for the roaches -Marty didn't believe in saving/Marty got it started Marty had some parties that were so amazing Girls around the world/Puerto Rican and Asian Lobster steak/next night smashing on Cajun Sounds fun/but the truth was The girls his smooshed/smooched/ were all so ruthless Marty had no roots/no one to hear his two cents When he needed help-they treated him like a nuisance (Chorus 2X) (Verse 3) Here we have party Marty/and workaholic Jimmy Marty plays but doesn't work/and Jimmy works plenty Both neglect the love love from the ones who gave any Running on steam/will leave you full on empty I could've been one of them but then life shook me Mid hand in the jar/stealing all the cookies I was destined for a stomach ache/but the facts I couldn't see That too much of one thing/can be a bad thing Cus all work and no play/or vice versa is a curse and makings for a really stressful day Too much of anything gets overrated Just keep it in moderations little homie And I bet you'll be okay (Chorus)

(Verse 1) So hard to see you fallin'/Got to slow down I heard you back home/Seeing things (yeah) Still upset about it/Upside down I heard you back home/some things will never change (Chorus) The view from here/it isn't very clear inside my head Rear view mirror/always looks the same as what's ahead The view between/the view between The view between me and you The view between/the view between The view between me and you (Verse 2) So hard to see you lookin' back baby/you've got to face the front No matter what you hear/don't make it really there No matter what you think you saw/or what you've done The view from you to me will take you there (Chorus) The view from here/it isn't very clear inside my head Rear view mirror/always looks the same as what's ahead The view between/the view between The view between me and you The view between/the view between The view between me and you The view between/the view between The view between me and you The view between/the view between The view between me and you

There's and older woman holding her groceries About to fold and fall over/but I still won't get off my seat There's a man with a cane standing next me But I get to sit/cus I work all day on my feet I'm entitled to a comfortable ride/I paid my fare and now I want to recline I've earned my position/I deserve what I'm given And its not my problem if they want what's mine Here's to hoping I'm distinct from mankind Here's to loathing what I need to survive And if I ever reach a handout/and meet my demise I guess you get what you give/the seat's damn fine

Afterthought 00:26
9.
When it comes to love/I have paid my dues And I have sang the blues I've seen lover's revolve/I've seen love dissolve And when it comes to us/ I hope it's not the same I hope that we can change I've seen lover's revolve/I've seen love dissolve (When Love spins around/hold onto the ground/Listen to the sound/Keep on facing down/Hold onto the ground/Listen to the sound) I've seen love dissolve
10.
We've stopped the train because a man needs assistance (But Imma' be late, and he's already basically gone!!) We apologize for the delay, and the inconvenience (How about you apologize to my clients and my boss?!) We've stopped the train because a man needs assistance (If I don't make it on time, I won't ever take this call!) We apologize for the delay, and any inconvenience (Apologize to my wife and my kids when I lose my job!!)

about

Ohio based drummer/beatmaker, Holbrook Riles III (AKA hr3), produced his first ever EP entitled "Points of View." This EP is based off of the music and original compositions of the Akron based experimental R&B/Hip Hop group, Bluelight. The band leader, Phil Anderson, planted the idea in Holbrook's head to remix the first self titled EP. Undertaking the project, Holbrook crafted new compositions, while discovering a new voice in beat making/production.
