Chorus (Jocelyn Alice): Oh, How'd we ever get this far? I never really liked this part We said hello everyday Now we, don't say it anymore Verse 1: I'm standing right across from you But feelin' miles away Evaporated dreams I choke on words I try to say I've been through break-ups before but this ain't typical I guess I was stupid to think that love would play a bigger role I used to wanna be the one to see you gettin' old Now I only creep your profile hopin' that you're miserable Give me a higher dosage Don't need a diagnosis You cried a river did a cannonball & tried to float in With no life preserver I never tried to hurt her A 5 foot killer with no mercy but I swear she's perfect I would say I would murder every boy you kiss But they're already dead upon contact you're poisonous Chorus: Oh, How'd we ever get this far? I never really liked this part We said hello everyday Now we, don't say it anymore Verse 2: I threw away all your stuff I cleaned this whole place I broke your hair elastics even tossed ya colgate But it's just no use You just won't erase You were the one & I don't even believe in soul mates I should've held onto this romance with both hands Instead of gettin' comfortable & hypnotized by slow dance Now when I'm drinkin, It's never just to celebrate it's always just to medicate & forget your face My mom's tellin' me I let the good one get away For heavens sake my whole family is on my case I want you back I'll buy a ring & we can set the date & we can set this straight But you're too far away Chorus: Oh, How'd we ever get this far? I never really liked this part We said hello everyday Now we, don't say it anymore Bridge: All you say you want is me All you ever do is leave All you say is dead to me Cuz you never showed When I needed you the most Chorus: Oh, How'd we ever get this far? I never really liked this part We said hello everyday Now we, don't say it anymore

Verse 1: Hell or high water, or even if they burn it down Listenin to Paul Brandt, I’m Alberta Bound Never ever turn it down, my province on the stereo It gets very old only hearin bout Ontario My province is, beautiful with confidence In Edmonton at parliament or Lethbridge with the college kids, bass poundin’ drivin through the mountains on my way home Alberta Sky keeps me grounded Chorus: Skipped, side to side Sailed from the coast-line I hail from fields of dreams Where dreams are bigger than the skies Verse 2: Alberta is my stadium, tryna represent like MBF & Danny Vacon did, Proud to be Canadian It’s magical my glass is full, Canada’s cultural capitol Calgary where I call my home More than just cattle bulls & dudes riding animals incredible edibles best of all is Alberta Beef My wife used to be vegan now she servin’ meat it certainly occured to me this province helped encourage me art grants & burseries Alberta gives back, Alms for the poor Entrepreneurs be sponsoring schools It’s awesome & cool how we often will do What they really dont expect, like jump in a pool Or a river in the dead of the winter & not even shiver My province tougher than splinters we love the adventure they moved for the treasure & stayed put for the pleasure the people so good it makes up for the weather Chorus: Skipped, side to side Sailed from the coast-line I hail from fields of dreams Where dreams are bigger than the skies Verse 3: Floods can’t stop us, Or forest fires, My family up in slave lake more inspired, it takes more than tragedy to crush our spirit, With that same attitude I bust these lyrics, & I Raise up a pint of big rock to the disc-jock, I’ve seen street kids lives’ changed from hip-hop, I’m the Nenshi Emcee the Mayor in my video, Made music with Jann Arden about my city yo, & I’m not braggin like “oh how sick am I?” Im just sayin Alberta looks out for the little guy, some say Alberta’s scene really aint worth the dream, you could make it much easier in different streams, where else would you see trucks with spoilers, down at Rexall, Canucks vs. Oilers, from the business men to punks who loiter, we run this place like Jackie Joyner, Chorus: Skipped, side to side Sailed from the coast-line I hail from fields of dreams Where dreams are bigger than the skies Verse 4: My city, where I finished University, My favourite place to play & I’ve rocked up in Germany done shows in Spain, hit crowds in Scandinavia & Calgary still the place I chose to raise my baby up Chorus: Skipped, side to side Sailed from the coast-line I hail from fields of dreams Where dreams are bigger than the skies

Verse 1: Let bygones be bygones Let shoulders be cried on Let murals be krylon The block filled wit pylons My homies still live on Despite those who did wrong talent & passion will shine on through this song Let there be justice for those who disgust us but let us stay focused on people who love us And as the people morn and feel rain from the storm let em think of the rose and not the thorn I keep shouting at myself to stop being so negative but will I be happy if I never end up makin it? These are the things I have to deal with, You have to grow up touring is not a field trip, And when you have days when you don't wanna rap no more, Remind yourself that not every one us can be Macklemore, You are daniel Bennett And you are loved You are who you are & not what you’ve done Hook (Jocelyn Alice): I’m sick with the dream It’s like it’s chasin me It’s right at my feet It’s all that I can see I’m sick with the ethics Sick with the greed I’m eager and willing to please I’m sick if I think it’s all I need I need you and you need me Verse 2 (Immaculate): Beneath the feet of the founding fathers who stand before us Orphans of fortune when chosen over their sons and daughters They want us to tread these waters upon this surface we dance For their entertainment Shameless, how we serve in this trance Perverted words we chant, We’re sayin’ save our soul! We’re prayin’ out to God, Often forgotten, guess he cant save us all And they wonder why we strikin’ back ..While I write this? Some in other countries fight For the rights we have When the lights go out? While it might get bad (They say..) Got to get back in your place Or they might just, spit back in your face, Get a taste a that Before you fade to black, without a trace, Cant change the facts Or Erase the past Unless you raise the stakes, Better have that ace up sleeve.. In place, at least And I’ve watched so many fail Fightin’ for what they believe Got a right to execute this new belief System just been too asleep Listen got some truth to speak Beautifully paint this master piece A thousand words at least Look what you do to me Holy disaster Verse 3: Don't look at me man I am a dead beat One day we all die and become a chest piece, struggle to get free and move your chess piece until it’s cheque please I used to hide my struggles when I’d write these verses down, can’t perform in churches now unless you’re somehow perfect now, but now I stick to honesty, and know all of my flaws covered by Majesty, my friend used to be a pastor he told the church was strugglin and they kicked him out ass first, you know what’s backwards? how we attack first, & claim the Master? Holy Disaster!!! with so many Christian people conservative thir servants is dying from malnourishment it’s hard to dance when theres kids thats starvin in apartments in my own city kiddies barely makin kindergarten Hook (Jocelyn Alice): I’m sick with the dream It’s like it’s chasin me It’s right at my feet It’s all that I can see I’m sick with the ethics Sick with the greed I’m eager and willing to please I’m sick if I think it’s all I need I need you and you need me
