Like Ekoh’s song “Along the Way”, “Fremont” is a single that was made for Ekoh’s compilation Along the Way, and it’s the ninth track of said compilation. Since it was made for Along the Way, that means it does not have any special cover art.
[Verse 1]
I know that everything’s alright, even when it’s not
They say that lies are only lies if you’re getting caught
Not the type of guy to reminisce on days past
These days I’m lost in that playback
After the days were played track (played track)
Before MP3s, I would sleep with my DiskMan, ‘phones bumpin
Something ‘bout that sound that made it personal
I started hoppin emotional hurdles, writing in journals
It made me though I had something to say
I will take those words to the grave
Yeah, still afraid to speak, a work in progress
A constant battle, trying to be something I’m not yet
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I got this fear in the gut
That the drugs and the women and the love can’t cover up
Can't cover up, uptown
Where I found my life and tried to sober up
[Chorus]
Walking down Fremont on the wrong side of the seesaw
Like do we need god?
Cuz I don’t want to be wrong, and I don’t want to be right
I just wanna be gone, gone tonight
Walking down Fremont on the wrong side of the seesaw
Like do we need god?
Cuz I don’t want to be wrong, and I’m afraid to be right
I just wanna be gone, gone tonight
[Verse 2]
This is my city (my city)
My love, my hope, there’s no free rides
Misdirected my soul, you roll with me
Until I found my way back home through the street lights
I used to think this whole goal was to be right
But I was wrong, see the things that mean most in life
Are what make you feel truly alive
Now turn that volume up and drive
Yeah, we used to drink 40 ounces at the park, start shit
And try and pick apart the meaning of the universe
Now we try and get pussy downtown
And try and pick apart the message of my newest
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Verse, I don’t know if I’m cut out for this
Cause those days, those days were so simple
So simple, so, so simple
I just turn that music back on and let it go (let it go)
[Chorus]
Walking down Fremont on the wrong side of the seesaw
Like do we need god?
Cuz I don’t want to be wrong, and I don’t want to be right
I just wanna be gone, gone tonight
Walking down Fremont on the wrong side of the seesaw
Like do we need god?
Cuz I don’t want to be wrong, and I’m afraid to be right
I just wanna be gone, gone tonight
[Bridge]
See I’ve been dealt these cards and I haven’t felt this far away from love since the detox
And on a suicide watch, they take the laces out your Reebok’s and we talk life like it’ll last forever
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Yeah, now be a dissuader, grab the things to get better
And I don’t wanna look back because I don't know
No, I don’t know how it’s gonna go
Downtown where I found my soul, yeah I found my soul
[Chorus]
Walking down Fremont on the wrong side of the seesaw
Like do we need god?
Cuz I don’t want to be wrong, and I don’t want to be right
I just wanna be gone, gone tonight
Walking down Fremont on the wrong side of the seesaw
Like do we need god?
Cuz I don’t want to be wrong, and I’m afraid to be right
I just wanna be gone, gone tonight
