verse (slimleo):

all these niggas call me truth even though i rap lies-

catch vibes, how i'm comin round your way with swift lines.

faster than a storm or a hurricaine born out of heat,

hot and cold

confluence imposter* while i split like an oreo

standin* round the country like gloryholes

polio i'm paralyzed 

by that* up* before leo grew up

getting too much time to waste

spoonfed

like cat in the cradle while the men on the moon say "smoke up"

choke up

oh nah that's a clear direction**

visine couldn't fix what wasn't there before

biding my time till the high breaks brake lines

cut when i'm dead save money every pass on the wrong side

red eyes till' the song dies

be me, see me

young as a thug on the tv

idle treats holder like a do to ri**

when the only truth is one in the same

like the gun and the flame

but destroy what could come

and the pain lungs sit in a rage while their breath fades

they'll only know my name on the death day

till' then i'll crack the circuits of the stress

self-made

hell's face came in on a cold day

cold as a cane* from a nigga who say

"don't bang"

yuh hey what

outro (caco):

please don't go i'll miss you so

(where did all the time go?)

background:

"and i know" is caco's reflection on his artistic journey this far, with bars discussing the difficulties of eschewing real life's responsibilities to pursue music. caco embraces the struggle of finding popular, uncompromising success in the industry; sen raines' effervescent hook is a testament to the risks he's taking. caco knows, and soon, listeners will too. 

lyrics: 

intro: 

sen: and I know, and I know, and I know (x2)

that you are, a star, a star.

hook:

sen: and I know, and I know, and I know-

and I know, and I know, and I know 

that you are, a star (x2)

verse 1:

caco: 

you'd be, my cinnamon apple. 

i had to go travel, I had to have at em' 

i had to live a life that'd be better than my alums-

to watch em' turn they ears to my albums and maybe then some.

my friends come, where I go. 

if I'm going up then damn right, they goin with me-

they get guest list front row at every show,

you too mom and dad, y'all get treated like the pros. 

now I know, I know I know-I gotta be responsible. 

but responsible is not the way to go-

no more interrupting my ebb and flow. 

i get lost, inside of my thoughts. 

left to connect your dots. (lost in my thoughts)

hook:

sen: 

and I know, and I know, and I know-

and I know, and I know, and I know 

that you are, a star (x2)

verse 2:

caco: 

progress, what it means-

is getting from the rainy days to livin' the dream. 

the process, is what I trust. 

it got me here to where I am I'm not about the product. 

hello? hello. (hello) 

i beg your pardon-

truthfully it ain't that easy, 

but it's something that I knew when I started. 

i'm on it, I'm on it-groove so good that I want it. 

but my peace of mind is not much for being sweet, 

that's why you end up biting into such a bitter peach! 

i'm on it I'm on it-groove so good that you flaunt it. 

so seductive that you on your feet, you can't fight it now come on show your teeth!

hook:

sen & caco: 

and I know, and I know, and I know-

and I know, and I know, and I know 

that you are, a star (xquiteafewtimes)

background:

this song made me realize how much of a learning experience creating this album really

could be-more than just writing music and finding a way of getting my thoughts out onto some digital

platform. the first iteration of this song was a lot faster and sounded like "you're the one" by kaytranada off 

the album 99.9% but it just wasn't getting anywhere, so I sent it to my buddy chris and when

 i got it back-well, something along the lines of what we have now was created-i had realized that

limiting myself to only my abilities really doesn't allow for the music itself to breathe. it needs fresh ears,

it needs other people to add to it and give it a flavor that you otherwise wouldn't have ever come up with.

background:

so the third song was actually supposed to be a song called "losin_u" and at some point

all the files for that session mysteriously disappeared off of my hard drive and laptops without

a trace! there is a raw version of this song on both soundcloud and quadio-however i will be re producing

that song in the coming months with new ears and fresh production chops! at the time when i wrote

"losin_u" i was heavily listening to braxton cook-and in "shooting star," a song off of his most recent record,

he uses the saxophone as a chordal/pad instrument-which i had never thought of doing

until this song (you and i) afterwards i've never looked back-being that a saxophone is a

monophonic instrument, i've overcome one of my biggest hurdles.

lyrics:

intro: (eclectic saxophone noises / random noise)

hook:

caco: 

you, baby I want you. 

right here, by my side. 

without you baby I'm lost-

for worse or better I don't know. 

baby, just come through. 

want you by my side. 

now or never, us together, you and i. 

verse 1:

i'm walkin' a fine line in the lime light, 

got my mind right and my shit tied.

background:

so this song has actually been a struggle through the whole trip. it just hasn't sat right-starting 

on flstudio with chris until i transferred it to logic and learned a thing or two, but little by

little i've added things, had derick and sen record on it, and had f3ralcat lay down some great horn. 

 magically it just started coming together. sometimes all a song needs is a lot of time to breathe :)

lyrics:

caco:

what is this thing, called love?

this funny thing, called love?

just who can solve, its mystery?

why should it make a fool of me?

i saw you there one wonderful day,

you took my heart, and threw it away.

that's why I ask the lord in heaven above,

what is this thing, called love? (x2 then summore at the end)

background:

again, that sax pad sound changed the game-but also so does voice leading.

chris and I spend one night emailing each other back and forth, I was just saying things like

"hey can you do such and such" or "hey can you add ____" and he would send it back 10-15 minutes

later and soon enough I had a completed product in my hands that night-then I needed to get to work 

with senny of course ::)))))) but back in high school senior year i skipped part of english one day

(sorry [REDACTED]) to go to the av room and see a friend working on a project-and 

so she interviewed me. what I gave her were ~bong~ imitations with my water bottle. 

using my mouth of course ;) and thus the audio was born.

lyrics:

caco:

she want passion, all the time

her lips, all on mine

never wanna waste on your time (yeah)

got my heart working on overtime (yeah)

relaxin' 

lets unwind

me and you, you and i

dont you worry ittl all be fine

be there for you everytime

caco x koot:

koot: what is your "#mondaymotivation" 

caco: *imitates bong noise with water*

caco: i like to stay hydrated, water is my motivation 

koot: we love a hydrated boy

background:

i wanted to feature my homies on the track, you know what had to happen. there was this one

time when I was recording andrew's vocals at his house, and shit just wasn't sounding right,

and I couldn't get him to sound the way i wanted him to, or really execute the verses like i wanted him to,

we got kinda upset with each other that night and i just left his house and we didn't touch this song

for what seemed to be a couple months-then i got my girl shabreezi to play on it and it changed

the whole atmosphere of the track-andrew and i went back to recording, finished writing his verses in 

my bedroom, and came up with the "finished product." and then i sat with it for months

adding, tweaking little things here and there-by may of 2021 the song was really done. for real. 

lyrics:

verse 1:

andrew:

if life is to be grand then i'm livin' it a sideshow

watchin' shit go by like i'm flippin' through a slideshow

smoke a couple grams

as i scroll across the gram wondering

where did all the time go... wait?

where did all the time go?

i just been stuck in mind though

bumpin on an alternate vibe, woah

walkin' down memory lane, i'm goin' insane

  i think i'm not high enough

comin' down with the flu

hit me out of the blue

you got me sick on yo love, i'm addicted to you

make that a dinna' for two,

i'm never tryna be subtle

i'm not a fish in the pond

i'm the unnatural blonde

you said we had to move on

i've been passed out on the lawn

i want your heart in my palms

i put it all in this song.

just to hit the rewind and bring it back to a better day

these photos on my phone got me feelin' some typa way

a picture in my head and i ran outta paint

with a hole in my skull, and i got you to think...

hook:

caco:

you know i can't wait to see you

i can rock your world if you need to ;)

baby calm down cuz we got some time 

all the other girls wanna be you

shinin' like a light when i come to

what i gotta do? 

what i gotta do?

i just wanna make you mine

verse 2:

caco:

you are the apple of my iphone girl,

i took one bite and then you changed my whole world

a penny for your thoughts,

a nickel for your dreams,

got a dime for this blunt baby anything you need yeah.

andrew:

i'm too caught up in your glare, i couldn't help it but stare

i'm like a deer in the headlights, feel like i'm driftin' through air

come on and hit me on my cellular, i'll take you interstellar

to the infinite beyond baby that's the shit we on.

caco & andrew:

   i'm a blanket for you,

give you comfort when you fall short,

#1 and i'm your 2

on a bad day colbie caillat singin' bubbly just for you.

got the bouquet with the gourmet,

  sippin' chardonnay, on a friday with some foreplay,

just for you.

so when you get this message, i hope it finds you well.

i think i might've, kind of, probably tripped and fell.

and you probably couldn't tell. 

hook:

caco:

you know i can't wait to see you

i can rock your world if you need to (rock your world)

baby calm down cuz we got some time

all the other girls wanna be you

shinin' like a light when i come to (they all jealous, of you)

what i gotta do?

what i gotta do?

i just wanna make you mine. 

~ flute solo begins ~

"pre-chorus":

caco:

girl you put me through the most (you damn right)

but i wanna hold you closer tonight (i wont bite)

and im gonna wanna make you mine

my crib no lights just us (just us)

put the speakers on, turn the music up

in my mind all i want is your touch (baby touch me)

come on over be mine no fuss

hook:

caco:

you know i can't wait to see you

i can rock your world if you need to

baby calm down cuz we got some time

all the other girls wanna be you

shinin' like a light when i come to

what i gotta do?

what i gotta do?

i just wanna make you mine(2x)
