Breakthrough

[Intro: Rita Braver & Heather Mac Donald]
The exhibit presents graffiti in the context of art. You're suggesting that this isn't art
It is vandalism, it is an appropriation of the public's space or somebody's private property without permission. And nobody has a right to do that

[Bridge: James Bay]
I'm halfway gone
Sleepless, I'm battle worn
You're all I want
Bring me the dawn

[Verse 1: Abstract]
I been up for five days tryna make the grind pay
We just made a project in a month, word to Blulake
"Neverland" just hit a milli, tell me why I'm underrated
Lookin' like we did it but I swear to God we haven't made it
I'm still spittin' to a mic that's in the corner of my room
My parents asking where the money at, I said it's coming soon
Hope to God I told the truth
Hope y'all got me on the move, there's only so much I can do
I ain't all about the money but you know I gotta live
I release my shit for free there's only so much I can give
And this about to be the ninth project that I did
Y'all can hate, but hope you know I done the work to get to this
Good to see us doing numbers
Word to Blulake, Craig, and Drumma
They ain't ready for us
'Bout to turn this to our summer
If they sleepin', snatchin' up alarms
Pluggin' in the numbers
Why they blind to the shit?
I don't know, I Stevie Wonder

[Chorus: James Bay]
I need the sun to break
You've woken up my heart
I'm shaking, oh
My luck could change
Been in the dark for weeks
And I've realized you're all I need
I hope that I'm not too late
I hope I'm not too late

[Verse 2: Abstract]
I'm only tryna live off what I live for
I know that's the damn dream; I know I don't need more
'Cept for another heart that I can call my own
Put that shit together, I think I could make a home
'Cause I put these words together like it's all I've ever known
But I'm yet to get the cheddar that I know that I been owed
I do this 'cause I love it, you know it keeps me alive
And always known I wasn't made to work a nine to five
Nah, I'm more a nine to nine
Dreamed about it back in '99
Back seat of my parents ride
Thinkin' music was the life
Hear a couple notes, somethin' inside you comes alive
Never had to learn it, it's universal to the mind
What a ride
Now I'm moving to a universal grind
Never lied
Couple people hate me for a couple lines
I don't mind
Seen the way I'm making hooks and throwing lines, doing fine
These days I got bigger fish to fry

[Outro: James Bay]
I need the sun to break
You've woken up my heart
I'm shaking, oh
My luck could change
Been in the dark for weeks
And I've realized you're all I need
I hope I'm not too late
And I hope I'm not too late
And I hope I'm not too late
