Orange skies pink clouds when the sun goes down/ Blowing loud, thoughts runnin round new sounds from FROwNS it's goin down/ Mind wide open, eyes closing down/ Time feels frozen, but my brain's not slowing down/ They know the voice, they know the sound/ The vibe's mystic/ They still tryna figure him out/ Like what's this nigga about/ If triggered I'm out, protecting my peace at all costs/ If they played you and you played your part that's their fault/ Ain't nothin to say dawg, not at all/ I played hard but now I play smart/ Meditate n pray that's how the day starts/ I get it in everyday/ Outer space is my estate/ In my mind I escape/ My Queen and I always runnin late/ We fuck all over the place but don't got a moment to waste/ THC to the face/ TMC, it's a marathon not a race, you niggas outta place/ Got it locked like some dreads, bread's locked in the safe for our getaway/ Meditate n find a better way, yeah I pray/ But I made a way/ I created better days, now the burden's feather weight/ I stopped tryna set a date/ The journey I celebrate, it's my time to shine/ How many times I'ma say/ Destiny don't gotta deadline, you'll get there in due time/ Nobody knows but everybody got something to say/ I'm amazed, all I know is God works in mysterious ways/ Yo I'm focused , these are serious days/ Life is but a dream, and I'm glad I'm awake/ I'm Awake..

Love I know you tired of being strong all the time/ I been creating problems it’s all in my mind/ Now i’m sober the war’s over, I’m thru tryna meet ya quotas/ They tryn quote us then act like they don’t know us, Bro they owe us/ For the vision for the art/ You’ll never finish if you never start where’s your heart/ I watched it grow n watched it fall apart/ All to start over again, I’m no longer your friend you prayed for my end/ Now watch the blessings begin/ Karma a 2 sided coin/ It's your turn till it's mine/ We’ll all learn in due time/ I’m watchin true crime, I’m playing the crib/ Eating to live, taking it one day at a time/ My discography a shrine, I shine/ I look back at all the time I spent trapped in my mind, what a waste/ But I won’t resort to haste I’m not chasing time/ The gift is life, comparison is the kryptonite/ The thief of joy/ It could all end quick you better enjoy/ Copped a new pair of airs my last got muddy like codeine n fanta/ Ion sip I want blue benjis not jolly ranchers/ Ion have it but drugs are not the answer/ I recorded soul sections 3, in an Air BNB in Atlanta/ I’ma roc shows from Africa to Canada, expand my parameters/ Let ya ego go it’ll damage ya/ I had plans 4 ya/ But that hate ate away at our love like a cancer bruh/ Moving to the beat of life I’m such an awkward dancer uh/ I'm such a..
4.	Chin Up 01:30	lyrics	buy track
We all got desires we acquire when worthy/ When in a vulnerable state my vices are most flirty/ On thin ice n its dirty, but don’t worry I’m still skating/ Hoping its not breaking, I feel the ground shaking it’s groundbreaking/ Everything’s shifting/ I was thinkin out loud n the universe listened/ There’s reward in repetition, I’m not talkin insanity I mean commitment/ I’m being consistent/ I’m free of addiction/ It feels like everything’s drifting but I’m closer than ever, the closer the better/ Keep my loved ones around me/ Let love surround me/ Accept the facts cuz you have to, its past due it’s past you, we only passin thru/ It’s a crash course but there’s no fast route/ I collapsed when I tried to adapt to what wasn’t true/ Took a look in the mirror I knew it wasn’t you/ Man I knew... Yeah I knew..
5.	Is it Real? 01:41	lyrics	buy track
Deep inside the drama lies a nigga tramautized/ I see the pain when I look inside my mama eyes I wanna cry/ It wasn't supposed to be this way/ But before I lay I pray, I'm Still grateful to see this day/ Thinkin back on my weak moments, its harder 2 speak on it, but I can’t keep em covered/ Growin up I was smothered in love, thanks to my mother/ Shouts to my grandmother, peace 2 my foundation, still anxious/ All this time I spent waiting you would think I found patience/ Disgusted by, the shit I justified/ Looked me in my eyes n told another lie I wasn’t surprised/ From myself I was tryna hide, I couldn’t internalize or decide/ Slow motion better than no motion keep coastin/ Most of my problems due to lack of self love/ But everytime I fell I picked myself back up, I write for the real/ And those who needs to be healed/ I’m tryna touch the masses, fuck mass appeal/ Fuck ya Mass Appeal.. Is it Real? Is it Real? Is it Real, is it really really Real? (Repeat)

7.	3 (Sip Slow') 02:48	lyrics	buy track
Stress robbing me of my Golden Years/ A blessing I know is near, I'm so aware/ I know my fears I just gotta face em/ So close to my destination, the fruits of my labor I can almost taste em/ The key is still preservation, I don't need weed for elevation/ I don't seek false elation/ No relations to temptation, my old mold's breaking/ This cold world left my whole soul shaking, left my blood boiling/ That's when I started baking/ Till my heart started aching, my mind was in the oven/ Problems came a dime a dozen, rest in peace to my lil cousin/ We ain't spoke in so long I wish I told him I loved him/ I knew he wasn't budging/ But I wish I would've nudged him/ We move around with all this pain like it's nothing, it's disgusting/ If you see ya loved ones hug em/ I forgive em but the other side is still fuck em/ [Chorus:]- 3 herbs in one tea, Sarsaparilla, Burdock Root, and Elderberry (Repeat 3x) N I'ma sip slow/ This life fast..I'ma sip slow.. (Repeat 3x)

God's plan/ Feels so much better when I put it in God's hands, Goddamn, word 2 God man/ My Queen a stallion thick as a medallion/ I drink wine like an Italian, rare talents, I should be on fallon/ I work late nights/ I put up a fight but it's a great life, sweet as a cake slice/ But take ya time when u take bites, don't choke/ I don't smoke no more, I've regained hope/ I was ashamed I was a mope/ I taught my brain how to cope/ I've learned a listening ear is a running mouth/ When they down they around/ When they up then they out, it works both ways/ I had my doubts until it happened to me, I was like no way/ I was in a cold phase, long nights slow days/ Bumping Ronnie Laws, "Old days Old ways"/ I started wailing when I thought my heart was failing/ I was hanging on the railing, I'm only given y'all the tail end/ Hybrid kush smoke damaged my nerves/ I make the pain sound beautiful cuz I'm nice with words/ I just tell it how it is/ Fuck that devil shit y'all selling to the kids, but/ Get it how u live/ Man it is what it is/ Man it is what it is.. [Chorus:]- All these FROwNLines I just need some downtime (Repeat 3x) All these FROwNS.. (Repeat Chorus) All these FROwNs.. My nigga FROwNS.. It's Goin Down..
9.	Story of My Life 02:40	lyrics	buy track
How many times I knew better n did worse/ So many times thats what I did first/ Everytime I put it in the verse/ Spirit hungry shoulda played the crib I slid outta thirst/ I felt the pain I did hurt, shit made my ribs hurt/ I played the curb I played the dirt/ Don't know what I did for/ Guess I felt like I ain't had a lot to live for/ Desperate plans never work, we all lookin for God when it gets worse/ Selfishly we look to the sky and ask why I/ Damn near wasted my supply/ Niggaz ain't gon do 4 u unless its do 4 I/ Foolish pride's like suicide when its do or die 4 u n I bottom line/ How many times, I'ma say it/ It's been one too many times.. It's been one too many times.. One too many man.. [Chorus:]- Whatchu want from me/ Misery loves company/ What could I want from u/ I wanna leave that's what I wanna do/ You don't want me to/ You know i can't get comfortable, I gotta move/ I got a lot to lose/ So whatchu wanna do/ Whatchu wanna do/ Yo (repeat)

about

Virgin Islands lyricist, "Rio Thomas" and Toronto native, "FROwNS", have reunited once again, and put together yet another, memorable body of work. "FROwNLines," is the follow up release to their first ever collaboration, "Life Lines" (May 5, 2022), a compelling EP, filled with mind grabbing bars and unparalleled flows, laid over eerily distorted gospel samples and shifty drum patterns. And in only four months time, Rio and FROwNS have picked up right where they left off. FROwN Lines is an expansion of Life Lines. This is the main course after the appetizer. Placed together, you are sure to have a full meal of food for thought.
