Verse 1:
You're foolish to think he's gon' change
An illusion alluding to pain
A lover and someone deranged
A conclusion undoing your captivity
Pre-Chorus:
In his asylum, he's always the right one
In his asylum, he's always the right one
In his asylum, he's always the right one
In his asylum, he's always the right one
Chorus:
Get out of crazytown
Find your love, find your love
Get out of crazytown
Find your love, find your love
Who you used to be, before he took your energy
Find your love, find your love
Get out of crazytown
Find you
Find you

Rather Be A River

Verse 1:
It was the soul of me that first caught his eye
Couldn’t take his glance off my intelligent inside
It was my inner he was initially into
Now he’s looking in my mirror trying to picture being mine
Pre-Chorus:
I know it’s me, I’m untouchable
Or am I just creating reasons I’m unlovable?
Chorus:
My body’s melting
My body’s stretching
I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river
(He don’t quiver, no)
My body’s melting
My body’s stretching
I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that he could love
I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that he could love
I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river
Verse 2:
Forget about it
He says he loves me, I doubt it
Affinity for me drowning
In a cesspool of my fear
Before it’s ruined
My demons our undoing
I’m trying to bid adieu
To all the shame I’ve felt for years
Pre-Chorus:
I know it’s me, I’m untouchable
Or am I just creating reasons I’m unlovable?
Chorus:
My body’s melting
My body’s stretching
I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river
(He don’t quiver, no)
My body’s melting
My body’s stretching
I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that I could love
I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that I could love
I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that I could love

Verse 1
Thanks for breaking the news; you’re breaking my heart
I was never one to lose
But somehow we ended up broken down
On the side of the road, waiting to get towed
I was never one to bruise
But I’m hurtin’, open
Pre-Chorus
Bleeding air, bubble burst
Should have expected revolving doors of solitude
Heaving blood, lover’s thirst
Keeps me coming to devolving sores of servitude
Chorus
I’m my heart’s slave
Try to part ways
But I’m one to fall in love
Verse 2
Wrist chained to the softness of your bottom lip
Thought I’d bottomed out til another cotton kiss
You’re such an expert apologist
Got me cooking up a stew of lies and serving myself a blues
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Vamp
Free me of this love
Free me of this love
Free me of this love

Grace
04:46

Verse 1:
Dark alleys where they never crept
Where garbage was kept
That’s where she slept
Nobody gave a damn about her
They could do without her
The sight of her, the scent
She always smiled when they passed her by
Kept her laughs and cries tucked away inside
They never stopped on the avenue
Til they found her black and blue
From the hatred and the cold
Pre-Chorus:
What will we do with lowest among us?
The ones who've been dealt the coldest deck
Will we atone for their vanishing face?
Chorus:
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I, go I
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I, go I
Verse 2:
They tried to bury seeds they’d never know
We’d turn into trees, yes we would grow
Every breath they took was from our branches
We would heal the land it’s impossible to own
We always thrived though they knocked us down
Tried to stop the sound of a sacred tribe
We will forgive but never forget
How you played Russian roulette
With our stories with our souls
Pre-Chorus:
What will we do with lowest among us?
The ones who’ve been dealt the coldest deck
Will we atone for their vanishing face?
Chorus:
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I, go I
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I, go I
Rap:
They say he got no ambition
He’s just sick of pretending
Them checks every two weeks are no longer fulfilling
Makin’ it rain don’t take the pain
He’s disengaged from the war for which he pays
His tax dollars bomb Syria he reads while eating cereal
Looking in the mirror, all that stares back is hysteria
Looking for a miracle, never been political
Human life ain’t politics so now he’s on a mission
If he quits his job how will he pay his mama’s rent
They’re already gentrifying, he’s vying for every cent
Wanna be a global citizen, locally they’re killin him
Consciousness don’t liberate in the way he envisioned
How can he continue to contribute to the genocide?
Questioning the systematic imprisonment of his mind
Every week he’s compromising, 40 hours of his life is
Spent enriching men who don’t care if he’s living or he’s dying
Chorus:
Go I, go I, go I, go I
There but for the grace
Go I, go I, go I, go I

One More Night
03:03
|

Verse:
I only think of you when my body is hot
The night is cold
That’s when that old love crosses my mind
Only dream of you when my waking moments
Seem to expose this lack of emotion in present time
Pre-Chorus:
If I could never think of you again
Make you part of a distant past
Get away from this lingering passion
I would
But the fact is the sheets are freezin
So I’m askin beggin pleadin
Give me what I'm needin
You should
Chorus:
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
One more night
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
One more night
Verse 2:
When the sun does rise
You lose your luster your shine
Not under the spell of that old love
Crossing my mind
Now the day is lighter
Fever for you expires
Eagerness to love you is dried up in present time
Pre-Chorus:
If I could never think of you again
Make you part of a distant past
Get away from this lingering passion
I would
But the fact is the sheets are freezin
So I’m askin beggin pleadin
Give me what I'm needin
You should
Chorus:
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
One more night
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
One more night
