Gotta Be More

My eyes my mind
Yeah they're changing everyday, everyday
Everytime I turn around
Old things are never the same, never the same (yeah)
And I think I got my head in a bunch
Tryna put things in a box
But something's missing (mm)
Wont be going without
Gotta be more than this (there's)
Gotta be more than this
Gotta be more than this, this, this, this, this
There's got to be more than this
Gotta be more than this
Oh *scat*
My superpowers
Yeah I'm honing them everyday, everyday
Everytime Im feeling low
You got to get off my energy (aye)
And I think I got my head in a bunch
Tryna give it all away wooo wooo woo
But something's missing
I'm finally awake
Chorus
I get to decide, decide
Who I want to be
And there's new life,
All Ive got to do
And at the end of the day
Oh I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I feel it in my bones
That there's got to be
Chorus

With or Without You
03:58

I didn't realize
That this is where we'd end up
I was hypnotized
All along, you really didn't give a f**k
So throw the rules out the window
Let the chips fall where they do
Cause i know either way
I'ma be good with or without you
With or without you
With or without you
Cause I know I've been true
So i'ma make it with or without you
Don't get your panties in a bunch
Cause i know how your kind do
Always in your feelings
But can't nobody else feel them but you
Tell me how is that fair
When I've been rockin' rockin' yeah
With you for all these years
And no it's time to live
With or without you
With or without you
Cause I know I've been true
So i'ma make it with or without you
I been sitting here thinking
Bout how I'm good I'm okay
I been sitting here thinking
Boy how you let me get away?
Oh yeah I've been sitting here thinking
All the things I didn't know
But ignorance is bliss and it's the main ingredient
That was keeping me from letting go
With or without you
With or without you
Cause I know I've been true
So I'ma make it with or without you

Grieve
02:58

I may grieve
I may grieve
Every time that I'm reminded
I was loyal and committed
When you were double-minded
Confused, it was you
Peace of mind never provided
Now you grieve, yeah you grieve
Every time you see my thriving
I may grieve
I gotta new man
You see, he swept me up
Right away
And I'm thankful cause
Without you I wouldn't be ready
All the fear and the anxiety
Trying to conceive
Ain't it funny that my body
Knew how to protect me
I may grieve
See I can improve
In the areas I lacked
But you can never ever
Get the wife of your youth back
So while I must learn to love
And trust again
Just know I let it go
Because forgiveness is a gift
Yeah, I may grieve
And that's the last thing you'll get
I may grieve
You wont stunt my growth again
Grieve

Like A Dream
04:30
|
|

From the day we first met
Yeah I knew we had chemistry
I wasn't looking for no one
But I'm glad that you found me
Cause it takes a special guy
To let me do my own thing
But you love me right
And you got a girl glowing
See I could never write love songs
This is a first
And I get lost in day dreams
But I know this works
You see me and see you
It's everything I prayed for
It feels like a dream
Everyday that I'm with you
And you are on my mind
In everything I do
And you don't have to worry
My love for you is true
You are the one I want to give
My whole heart to
And it kind of trips me out
Cause I didn't think I'd trust again
But I'm grateful that you're here
And I'm thankful for your patience
I'ma make it worth your time
Cause I know you're worth it
You're everything I prayed for
It feels like a dream
Everyday that I'm with you
And you are on my mind
In everything I do
And you don't have to worry
My love for you is true
You are the one I want to give
My whole heart to
It's the way you put me first
And they way you keep it real with me
I been stressing most my life
But you keep me care free
It's your mind, it's your smile
It's the way you make me think
How you lay your hand on my chest
And we talk about everything
It's the way you put it down
And the past it doesn't matter
It's a whole new world
I just want to love you better
I wanna give my heart to you
It feels like a dream
Everyday that I'm with you
And you are on my mind
In everything I do
And you don't have to worry
My love for you is true
You are the one I want to give
My whole heart to

Cover Me
05:32

My enemies wanna see me fall
Some days I can’t take the pressure
Because I open up my heart and
They think it makes me weak
And it makes it hard not to question everything
Should I tone it down a little?
Should I stop being who I am?
Because my heart is fragile
And they know it but they keep on diggin in diggin’ in
(Oh) Shower me, cover me, protect me
From my enemies
Shower, cover me, because I
Don't think I can take anymore, anymore
Some People say haters gon’ hate
But I’ve been thrown off by the way masquerade
It never crossed my mind, that I could fly
But the crabs in the barrel they want my spirit to die
Should I tone it down a little?
Should I stop being who I am?
Because my heart is fragile
And they know it but they keep on diggin in diggin’ in
(Oh) Shower me, cover me, protect me
From my enemies
Shower, cover me, because I
Don't think I can take anymore, anymore
You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies
You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies
You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies
You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days all the days
Shower me
Cover
Cause I don't think I can take anymore, anymore

Do You
03:46

|

When you live in a likes for likes culture
& your measure of growth is by views
When you have something that is of substance
Don’t be surprised if they overlook you
When the game is about people pleasing
& it’s all about ego on fleek
When you decide just to keep it 100
May not be poppin but you’ll have inner peace
Do you
Do you
Do you
Sooner or later they gone be checking for you
Choose you
Choose you
Choose you
Sooner or later you gone need you to turn to
When you bout business and they talkin’ in circles
Or maybe you thought that they’d do it for the love
When you decide just to stand in your power
Like Drake said ‘no new friends’ stick to your day ones
Cause it’s game and you can never lose it
It’s not required that you enter and play
Like Lauryn said look at it like the Matrix
Say God bless and go on with your day
Do you
Do you
Do you
Sooner or later they gone be checking for you
Choose you
Choose you
Choose you
Sooner or later you gone need you to turn to
We live in world that’s hard to explain so vain
Everyone out just tryna make a name
Fame fame
Social media messing with our brains insane
Images that we can never sustain
When you live in a likes for likes culture
& your measure of growth is by views
If you have something that is of substance
Don’t be surprised if they overlook you
When the game is about people pleasing
& it’s all about ego on fleek
When you decide just to keep it 100
May not be poppin but you’ll have inner peace
Do you

I Don't Know My Name

Hush my little baby
You're gonna make it
Through this
Everything that you ever
Ever wanted
I promise that it leads
Through this
But I don't know my name anymore
Everything has changed since I walked
Out that door
I don't know my name anymore
Everything has changed since I walked
Out that door
Ouuuu
Don't look back don't look back no
Don't look back don't look back no
Hey
Don't look back don't look back no
Don't look back don't look back no
Ohhh
Hush my little baby
And let go
You cannot always be in control
Everything that you ever ever needed
I promise that it will be there
But I don't know my name anymore
Everything has changed since I walked
Out that door
I don't know my name anymore
Everything has changed since I walked
Out that door
Ouuuu
Don't look back don't look back no
Don't look back don't look back no
Hey
Don't look back don't look back no
Don't look back don't look back no
Ohhh
Hush my little baby
You're gonna make it
Through this

It’s never been,
It’s never been an easy route,
Just take your time and slow it down
Get lost in you and you’ll be found
They’ve always told me how
How I got here in this predicament
And how my life would be so different
How I should make up my mind, my mind.
If you think you ever have to be
Better than the next man that you see
Or the one before
Just know that you have done all that you can
Listening with nothing other than your
Your heart
Heart, just keep your heart, your heart will
Guide you, your heart will
Guide you
It’s always been,
It’s always been I’m in I’m out
A clouded mind and full of doubt
Just in a rush to take a bow
Going nowhere, now
I made my mind I choose to win
I Bust the bubble I was living in
And I’m never giving in this time
If you think you ever have to be
Better than the next man that you see
Or the one before
Just know that you have done all that you can
Listening with nothing other than your
Your heart
Heart, just keep your heart
Your heart will
Guide you, your heart will
Guide you
Heart, just keep your heart
Your heart will
Guide you, your heart will
Guide you
Ouuu

I May Grieve (Interlude)
01:14
|
|

I may grieve
I may grieve
Every time that I'm reminded
I was loyal and committed
When you were double-minded
Confused it was you
Peace of mind never provided
Now you grieve yeah you grieve
Everytime you see me thriving
You got a new girl
I see you knocked her up
Right away
Does she know about the
Shannas and the Brittanys along the way?
She can't see it but that baby and church
Wont make him stay
If it does, the love bombing and the promises they fade
See I can improve in the areas I lack
But you can never ever get the wife of
Your youth back
So while I must learn to love and trust again
Just know a man will never ever stunt my growth again

Permission To Thrive
03:57

Woke up this morning
And I'm feeling free
I'm feeling like I can do
I can do anything
I had a vision and it's becoming clear
That's I'll have to stay focused
I've I'm gonna get there
Spent all this time thinking why
I don't fit in
Then I realised everybody aint
Going where I'm going
I got a calling on my life
Gotta set the captive free
And I can't do that
Not being the best me
Debt free, money's in the bank
I'm saving for my first house
Yeah I didn't know
I was a boss
This is permission to thrive
Taking control of my life
This is permission to thrive
Taking control of my life
Woke up this morning
And I'm feeling free
I'm feeling like I can do
I can do anything
I had a vision and it's becoming clear
That's I'll have to stay focused
I've I'm gonna get there
Woke up this morning
And I'm feeling free
I'm feeling like I can do
I can do anything
I had a vision and it's becoming clear
That's I'll have to stay focused
I've I'm gonna get there
I am my ancestors wildest dream
Many scarified for me
I am their legacy

Legacy ft. Omega Sparx

We leave a legacy
A chance to dance, expanse, advance and motivate the youth
We leave a legacy
The powers yours to grow evolve
I wrote this song for you
We leave a legacy
Legacy
Legacy
Legacy
We leave a legacy
A chance to dance, expanse, advance and motivate the youth
Honor to the hard workers
Skies the limits
We star searching
Renewed person, Exude purpose
A new version
They tried to curse you,
They couldn’t hurt you,
You’re too perfect
And so worthy of praise
While haters are too thirsty
Tell them to move over
Girl do that dance
Write your song, yeah this your chance
Despite the battles and circumstances
Just keep advancing, in the faith you stand with
Hold on
Your legacy is strong
Your DNA can bust through an ozone
No cap
Your talent is on the map
And finally counting stacks
They trying to hold you back
But there’s nothing you lack
They taking two steps, while you running them laps
They talking online, but you never react
Fly high in your altitude
And spark a whole generation coming after you
We leave a legacy
A chance to dance, expanse, advance and motivate the youth
We leave a legacy
The powers yours to grow evolve
I wrote this song for you
We leave a legacy
Legacy
Legacy
Legacy
We leave a legacy
A chance to dance, expanse, advance and motivate the youth
Let’s see—
Black excellence
Every time my back is up against the fence
We done had the whole world on our shoulders but
Nuttin’s gon keep us from getting it
I’ve got
So many plans
And i think it’s bout time to metamorphosis
Everything I learn, yeah it’s so I can teach
Gotta generation coming after me
You see
The stuff on the news
I ain’t neva gonna let that be an excuse
Negative energy out in the world
I flip it round, manifest undisturbed
I got resilience and strength in bones
Good thing we don’t have to do this alone
You see a hurdle and I see a throne
Just keep it stepping and growth is earned
We leave a legacy
A chance to dance, expanse, advance and motivate the youth
We leave a legacy
The powers yours to grow evolve
I wrote this song for you
We leave a legacy
Legacy
Legacy
Legacy
We leave a legacy
A chance to dance, expanse, advance and motivate the youth
