1. Art Imitates Wife Written and composed by G'Ra Asim She’s got one over me That makes me underachieve Yet I never believe her performance She can’t leave me alone But claims no body owns Her skin, bones and soap opera organs Slight of figure and She’s fond of sleight of hand She keeps her fingers crossed When she’s showing me her promised land We declare ourselves a minor threat ‘Cause we still don’t know our majors yet With a cigarette lit She shoots from the hip And I’m getting caught with that smoking gun She’s known to flap her gums Until her trap is sprung She kidnaps my tongue For a ransom Then we’re taking flight We only fly by night While I’m poised to write Down these anthems Slight of figure and She’s fond of sleight of hand She keeps her fingers crossed When she’s showing me her promised land We declare ourselves a minor threat ‘Cause we still don’t know our majors yet With a cigarette lit She shoots from the hip And I’m getting caught with that smoking gun You know what’s hell on me? (No matter how many years that I give her) The other people we should see (I know it’s never gonna deliver)

2. Speak Too Soon written and composed by G'Ra Asim I walk these streets a wraith A hop, skip and a jump away But short the leap of faith It takes to let you know That talk is cheap these days And love is just a passing craze But when I meet your gaze I’m basking in the glow If I had the nerve Somewhere in reserve I’d take a breath and say That you’ve got the touch I long for so much And you take my breath away But if it came to that Would you speak too soon? Would you turn your back? Would you leave the room? ‘Cause with my dreams intact What can I do But start from scratch And be with you? I’ll chalk this up to fate With half a mind to call you late A fifth that’s taken straight And a taxi cab window So give these sheets a taste Of my arms wrapped around your waist And secrets I’d keep safe if you’d only say it’s so If I could reverse The gift and the curse That kept us on the fence I’d get you alone And sweetly atone For all of the suspense But if it came to that Would you speak too soon? Would you kiss me back Would you leave the room? ‘Cause with my dreams intact What can I do But start from scratch And be with you? Call off the search You know I’m here The last place that you’d look I fear Wishing won’t work I’m more than clear Just give me a moment to have your ear
